Chester County, and there passed the first few years of her life. Slie hjves dearly the fields and woods of her old home and often revisits them in fancy and, when ]iossible, in the flesh. She received her earliest education in the public schools in the vicinity of Chat- ham but later attended a seminary at Christiana which was conducted by a gradu- ate of the Millersville State Normal School. For a time also she was a pupil in an academy near C ' hatham. She began teaching when she was very young, not very nnu-h over fifteen years of age, in fact, and this first experiment was made in the public schools near her home. She left these schools to take a position in the seminary at Christiana in which she had been a student. From this place she went to a private school at Ercildoun and there she formed many lifelong friendships. One of her pupils at Ercildoun was Mrs. G. M. Philips and the association, begun at Ercildoun and terminated only by the death of Mrs. Philips, was a very close and tender one. Another of her friends of that time and place still lives and Miss Speakman al- ways refers to her in terms of the warmest affection. Ercildoun seems to be a bright spot in her life, she has only happy memories of it. After leaving Ercildoun she accepted a position in Jacob Harvey ' s Academy at Unionville, and later went to Newton in nortliern New Jersey — this last was also one of her happy experiences. With the exception of the first six years, all of her teaching lias been done in private schools and in the Normal School. She came as a teacher to the West Chester State Normal School in 18T6. five years after its founding. Mr. George L. Maris was then principal and Dr. G. M. Piiilips was a teacher of mathematics. Miss Speakman at first taught his- tory, geography and spelling, but as the school grew and classes enlarged it was deemed best to make a separate department of history and she retained geograpliy and spelling, the former being her favorite. But the school continued to grow in numbers and it became constantly more ai)parent that someone was needed to have oversight of the girls and so Miss Speakman was elected to the office of preceptress, a positio n she has filled with dignity and grace since its inception in 1909. May she long remain to carrv on its duties. I ' ngc Six One may say that Miss Speakman has a genius for friendship, she so well exemplifies the truth of the proverb, He who would have friends must show himself friendly. The many letters she receives from her pupils of old days, the pleasure with which she is greet -d at Alumni banquets, and the solicitude and regret expressed at her absence from tliese festivities, all bear tcstimnny tn this fact. Quite i)ossibly the tranquillity of Miss Spcaknian ' s early life and training, for her father was a member of the Society of Friends, has had much to do with the developing of the calm poise of her manner and the gentle dignity of her pres- ence, but lier kindliness, her capacity for friendship, and the steadfast loyalty of her nature are innate ; no outward circumstances could produce them. The Class of 1918 has indeed done a graceful and a gracious thing in dedi- cating its class book to Miss Speakman and lias honored itself no less than her in doing so. IIAI. ' RIK ' r U. BALDWIN. Page Seven IL J? r t lu o r !t OUR BOOK ! The only book of which most of us will be a part, and the motive and origin of the custom of thus preserving the memories of school days is readily apparent when we reflect on their meaning to us. These days of preparation for our life work, the opportunity to choose and assimilate our heritage of knowledge and power, mingled with experiences and associations no future ones can transcend ; our kindred aims, hopes and tasks are such as will never come into our lives again. Parting will bring scattered roads, diverse aims and lives, and we especially this year are going out into a world mightily changed since we came here to school. We must be prepared to lay our hands on the tasks that will emerge frcini the chaos and to do so demands that we give our attention to the immediate tasks. Tho volumes of history are being enacted in Europe, this our history concerns us now, for it is the stepping stone to our future. This gathering of impressions of our classnuites by those who know them best allows all of us to know each one more intinuitely than our busy days here allow ; the lesser things of study and surroundings form a background whose only potency is the use we have made of them, which we will realize in later years should we re- liirn aiul see strange faces moving among them. Balanced between our inexperience on the one hand and our gratitude to the members of the class on the other, we have ruminated and cogitated thru the vanished days and their doings, and if the pleasure of perusal is half so keen as that of recording them we shall be amply rewarded for (uir labor of love.

Graduate of the Keokuk (Iowa) High School; student one year at the State University at Iowa City and began to study medicine at tlie Chicago Homeopathic College, graduating in 1880. He served as ho ise physician at Cook County Hospital, Illinois, for a year and a half following his graduation; afterwards appointed attending physician, then devoted a few years to the practice of medicine at Quincy, Illinois. His great fondness for athletics and his conviction that the key- note of the medical practice of the future was tlie prevention rather than cure, made him determine for the work of a Director of Physical Education. In 1890, he graduated from the Anderson School of Gymnastics of Brooklyn, N. Y. The same year he organized the Department of Physical Training at West Chester Normal School. His greatest avocation is the study of the out-door world, especially the birds, and his bird walks are interesting and instructive.

Sue Moore There is a girl in our school; her friends they call her Sue. Her nerves are ever quiet and cool; there ' s nothing she can ' t do. Good nature beams from her ever-present happy smile and her hearty laugh is known and liked by all. It is easy to see why she is never blue, for with all her time taken in doing all sorts of interesting things, she has no time for dark clouds. One can seldom find her because she is always darting here, there and every where. J. Benson Adams Summit Hill, Pa. J. B. Moore A deep occult philosopher, As learned as the ivild Irish are. Behold a man ! This is enough to say of anybody but we attempt to add to a true friend ' s virtues. Underneath a rough exterior there lies the qualities which make him a leader. Being honest, liberal, and friendly, he has won the hearts of his classmates. His popularity- placed him in the presidency of the class, while his executive ability, amid many difficulties, gave the class a very successful year. He loves to dwell in the realms of philosopny, argument and religion, and proposes to make the latter his life work. President of Class, President of Moore Literary Society, member Educational Club, Moore Debating Society. Marian Addis Ivyland, Pa. Aryan Feiu hearts like her ' s icith mischief ivarmed, Fe ' iv heads ivith knoit-ledge so informed. This is Marian, the wit, intellect and fun of the hall. She joined our ranks two years ago from Hatboro High School. She is esteemed for her happy and cheery disposition and her ever- present smile has won her a host , of friends. Marian likes very much to retire at 9:30, but her chief delight is breakfasting at 6:30 (?). Altho she is fond of studying (especially AG ) if Marian is to be found from 7 to 10 P. M., one would have to look elsewhere than Room 22. Her success is Nineteen Eighteen ' s heartfelt wish. Member Serpentine Staff, Vice-Pres. V. W. C. A. Lillian Aikman Avoca, Pa. Lill Moore Lillian is one of our singers and to her we owe a large part of the musical strains which entertain us when floating up from the music room windows on spring evenings. She never wastes a minute, but bustles thru the halls of (he Normal with a business-like air and, when we see her in her Domestic Science apron, we know she is thinking of creamed tomato soup. We expect great things of you in the future Lill , and your classmates will watch with interest your progress in the musical world. Page Sixty Marguerite Albright Maytown, Pa ' Peg Aryan ' Tis true that she is much inclined To chin and talk ivith alt ' man ' kind. Peg came to us from the Maytown High School. She is very fond of her home town, hut not because of the girl I life behind me. ' ' Her favorite sport is driving, but not the Nor- mal brand of ponies. Peg says her favorite studies are Arithmetic and Public Speaking, but we think she just dotes on French. The good wishes of her classmates go with her thru life. M.ARJORIE Ale.x.wder Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Major Moore Hang sorrow; care vAll kill a cat. And therefore let ' s be merry. Here is she who loves all men and just about six in particular. Perhaps that is whv so many special deliveries, ' phone calls, and telegrams are received at 214. Marjorie is the luckiest girl in the school, for altho she is always found in the front row, she is never called upon. Per- haps it is the Major smile that charms our questioners. LuDMiLLA B. Ai.TRlCHTER Slatington, Pa. Midge Moore Silence is golden with Midge. She liever argues unless she is sure of being right. She has been with us for two years and she has proven herself to be one whom we are proud to call a classmate. She believes in working when there is any to do and never fails to hud pleasure in doing it. Her favorite subjects are German and Agriculture. We feel sure that someone will soon take her from the prof s- sion . Here ' s to your success, Midge. Elizabeth Armstrong Berwyn, Pa. IV iat she icill. she •xuill. Elizabeth is a graduate of Tedtfryn East- town High School, Berwyn, 1916 class. Cap- able, energetic, frank, with an abundant store of good, common sense, kind and generous, hav- ing a kind word for e ' er ' one, she is belo ' ed by all and has made many lasting friends. We wish her the best of success, and the speedy ful- fillment of her one desire to be a domestic science teacher (or practicioner) ? Page Sixty-one Marian J. Babb Cynwyd, Pa. Moore ' Tu those iL ' io knoii: not, no ivorJs fan paint, And those who know thee, know all words are faint. Few know the true Marian. Her quiet, unas- suming air is decidedly marked. She thinks well before she acts, but once she does decide, she stands firmly on her own ground. She pos- sesses all the qualities that go to make the best of teachers. Her friends wish her the best of success in life. Edith M. Bachmann Swedesboro, N. J. Eddie Aryan She si jhed to many hut loved just one. Eddie come to us from New Jersey and is very proud of the fact. She is gifted with mu- sical talent but soothes herself into ecstacy over Art . Water also have a great fascination for her, cannewing in summer and skatin ' in winter. Eddie would like to be a nurse. What kind, Eddie? She also claims she is going to teach for at least two years, but we have to see Father Time about that. M. Irene Backus Chester, Pa. Moore chatter, chatter as I go. Irene originally hailed from Butler, N. J., where she excelled in her school work but proved the torment of her teachers because of her incessant chattering. Since coming to Nor- mal, she has become an athlete and spends every spare minute in the Gym. At frequent intervals, she presents Miss Speakman with a pile of manuscript containing excuses when the train is late. Her favorite occupation is tormenting her seat-mate. Our best wishes for a successful teaching career. Emma Gertrude Bacon Bacon, Del. E G. Gert Gertrues Aryan Emma Gertrude, as Gert is common called, specially by a Latch — Oh, Shaw! we must not tell tales out of school — is a jolly good fellow and some stude. She has never been known to mingle with Till nor has she attended a feed without permission? ? ? In spite of this, E. G. hns many friends and is liked by all. We ex- pec to de - ne at least a part of her future life to teaching, but just how much remains to be seen. We are sure of her success in what- ever she takes up as her life work, whether it be the former or — (I refer you to Billy). Pa je Sixty-two Edna A. Bailey Radnor, Pa. Moore When Radnor High School graduated its class of 1916 and enabled Edna to take her place in the class of 1918 here, it did not real- ize what it was doing for Normal. Edna is an excellent student, studying her lessins U)ng (?) and loudly, — or is that someone else of whom we are thinking? Her good nature and smile are very captivating and sometime — hut vvhat made us think of June and roses? Russell C. Baldwin West Chester, Pa. Russ Moore Russell came to Normal from the ' est Ches- ter High in 1917. He has been an excellent student while at Normal and takes an active part in athletics, having played on the baseball and reserve basketball teams. He also enjoys swinging clubs and often persuaded Dr. Ehin- ger to give him extra instruction after four. Gym and Chapel are hi favorite pastimes. We wish you the best of success, Russ. ' arsity Baseball Louisa Jackson Ball Aldan, Pa. Ted Moore Born in New York, raised in Virginia, went to school in Maryland, lived in Delaware, taught in Pennsylvania, and came to us from Aldan, Pa. Every Saturday morn sees Louisa at High and Gay Streets boarding the 5:45 for 69th Street. She can ' t stay away from hiin for one week end. She certainly can hustle you around when it comes to dancing on the hall for our meager hop. And Ah, there when she gets the blues . Stella M. Bamberger Lebanon, Pa.

The happiest part of this jolly maid ' s Senior year was spent in teaching her third grade darlings . So busv, yet she always has time for fun and eats. Her spirits cm ne -er be dainpened, for even when Ag. piles up, she merely says Schee-vizz (gee-khiz) and dives in. U. S. History seemed to be at- tractive to her, especially the Treason of Ar- nold . Stella takes a lot of teasing and is usu- ally gond-natured, except when refused a fifth fenerous helping of butter. What will she be doiitg next ear? No one knows, because her mind has formed a little habit of changing six times a dav. Pnije Sixty-three Lucie Hayden Barber Washington, D. C. Luke Moore ( ' Oman ' s al best a contradlition still. Do you know Lucie? Well, just take a day off sometime and look for her. It cannot be said just where you will find her, but probably looking after some Junior. Her contributions to the Amulet were greatly appreciated and her poems (?) are wonderful. And did you ever hear her talk? She seems to be able to make herself heard even at the dinner table. She has two aims in life — to be able to get enough to eat and be a French teacher. We would be so glad if Luke would condescend to spend a few week ends with us at school, and we wonder if she only visits her sisters and brothers. She is continually knitting wash cloths for her brothers in the service. Chief Humorist of Serpentine Staff. Marion Hazel Barnecutt Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Moore Study yourself and most iif all note well, ll ' hercin kind Nature meant you to excel. Marion ' s wildest ambition is to be a mis- sionary. But ask her which of the Howards she will take along as a companion. Marion is a very industrious student; she loves literature and has taken quite a little University work in this line. Her Pet aversion is snakes in Dr. Schmucker ' s class, and the straps in the swim- ming pool worry her more than themes. Berenice Barton Breezewood, Pa. Goosie Barnacle Aryan If ' ien upon this face you gaze Think of all those Normal days; Days of work and days of borrow, And why think about tomorrow ' ? This maiden, small of stature, was educated in the public schools of Bedford County. De- ciding that she would like to become a peda- gogess, she entered Normal in the fall of 1914. Her career in this school has been crowned with much success and we all agree that she is a very cute maiden. Her great desire is to teach in the wild and woolly West. Wonder why? Elizabeth S. Bauknecht Salem, N. J. Betty Aryan just can ' t make my eyes beha-ve. Betty is another of those Loyal Mosquito Staters. She will always be remembered by her giggles and those flashing brown eyes. Oh! how they do talk! She is very ambitious and enjoys all of her studies, especially Ag, but she is always ready for a good time. Betty is extremely fond of teaching kindergarten, so we will find her teaching little folks for a couple of vears at least, but she also thinks seriously of taking up domestic science. (It may be use- ful, who knows?) But whatever she does, our best wishes for success are with her. Page Sixty-four Grace Bayless Sellersvillc, Pa. Aryan Those uho have cases at school usually have no attachments at home, but those who walk around campus and hall with a distant air and do not cast inviting glances at whomsoever thev may meet, generally have the most des- perate cases in other climes. Oh, yes, you mav say, hut Grace ' s heart lies with her twin arts, music and drawing, as may be seen by the intensity with which she studies them. But vou know, the harder you work, she says, the less time there is for vain and hopeless long- ings. Wiii.iAM Beacham Barnesboro, Pa. Duke Moore Duke hails from the northern part of Cam- bria County where he made quite a reputation as a teacher. He has been at Normal for two years and was much interested in sciences, rough-housing and deviltry. He is always ready to help clean out (?) a room. Duke says, If play interferes with work, give up work. He is Hinglish and believes in playing according to Hoyle . An able debater and ' ice-Pres. Moore. George Berger Philadelphia, Pa. Daddy Moore Ily their ivorks ye shall k toi.v lliem. Graduated from the Northeast Manual of Phila. in 19118. After varied business experi- ence, he decided that teaching offered a more liberal life than business and entered -Normal in the fall of 1916. We feel honored to have him with us and he stands high among his fellow pupils. George is hard to get acfjuainted with, but when you do, you cannot find a better fellow. He is always en the job, doing his share of work. (Ask those who took Physics Lab. under him.) As Editor-in-Chief of our class book, we arc very grateful to him for the book of all books. V ' arsiti, ' Basketball, President Moore Society. Alberta R. Bergmann Philadelphia, Pa. Bertie Moore Be to her virtues very kind; Be to her faults a little blind. Alberta, better known as Bertie, entered Nor- mal late in the fall of 1916 after graduating from the Phila. High School. Bertie is jolly, good-natured and always ready for a good time. Altho breakfast is served at 6 ;30, she usually gets up at 6:25, then all one can hear is, Do you think I ' ll make it. ' ' Her favorite studies are German and .Ag! ! ! Never mind, Bertie, if you pursue success thru life as you did your Ag. notebook, we feel sure ou will attain it. Page Sixty-five Isabel M. Bicking Pottstown, Pa. Izzie Aryan Oh hed! Oh bed! delicious bed That ' s heaven on earth to the iveary head. Poetical, quick-witted, bright and cheery are a few of Izzie ' s numerous qualities. It is Izzie for whom Candy , a desirable sweet, is a fit- ting nick-name. She is a jovial, fun loving classmate, always ready to eat and sleep but as to early rising — when she is called at 6 A. M. on pitch dark wintry mornings, she just turns over and exclaims: What an unearthly hour! No, I ' m not going to breakfast — bring me a sandwich, will you? Taking a birds-eye view, a splendid personality and many unique quali- ties assure her a successful teaching (?) career. MiDA C. Blake Pleasantville, N. J. Aryan Hapfiy am I; from care I am free, Why aren ' t they all contented like me? These are Mida ' s sentiments day in and day out. Besides being the best of chums nd the most studious of students, she is always in for a good time. Her interests during he r Normal career have been somewhat divided, as she formerly belonged to the Class of 1916 and also had great interests in the Class of 1917. Just ask her about the patriotic emblem which she wears continually. Mida graduated from the Atlantic City High School in 1917. L. Alerta Bolles Lansford, Pa. Aryan By those unacquainted, Alerta seems to be among the mostly quiet girls of the school. To her friends, her kind heartedness is the most attractive quality. She seldom laughs, for most of her time is spent in day dreaming of a pair of brown eyes and a head of beautiful hair. Barber poles always seem to have an attrac- tion for her; whether it is the bright colors or there is some special significance, her friends cannot discover. Alerta ' s prospects for teach- ing look bright and the many apples showered upon her by her pupils speak well for her. However, the future is very undecided, when there are two in the plans. How about it, Al- erta ? Margaret Manilva Bond Frazer, Pa. Peg Moore There is a ' Jeicel ' site cannot live ivilhoiit. Good goods do not come in bulky bundles, as the old philosophers say, and here is the proof. Peg came to us in the fall of 1914 from West Philadelphia. She is very studious, but in one thing she especially excells — her devo- tion to Art . She is loved by all who know her well and we would like to keep her in our profession but Peg likes the strenuous life of the big city and we expect to find her living there soon. Paffe Sixty-six ■ razer, Pa. p (| 5r Marion: Mills Bond Fr Moore .111 the iLorlJ lo-ves a lover. ' Marion, our little black-eyed girl from Frazer, came to Normal in the fall of 1914. She has been very successful here, especially in her desire to take Moore Reid work by the Burton system. One of her favor- ite studies is Astronomy, as she can always use any knowledge gained in the subject. Marion is very studious but never really worries about anyhing but her lunch. Vc are sure Study Hall will miss her cheery and happy-go-lucky disposition. Anna Elizabeth Bonsall Christiana, Pa. Abe Aryan Tlie blush of the rose is oft on her eheeks, Ho-z ' beautiful, hut hozv diseoneertititj. Blushing is no doubt embarrassing, but this does not embarrass Anna so much as when she awakes in the morning and her roomie tells her of the secrets disclosed by her sleep talk- ing. Some women arc said to talk from morn till night, but Anna talks day and night. Anna says she enjoys Practice Teaching but judging from her experience in conducting automobile trips to historical places, she will not teach verv long. Ask Bill. Georciana Washington Bouen Chester, Pa. (jidge George Moore For her heart is like the sea- Ever open, brave and free. Always willing is our Gidge . As official mender, cleaver, and soother of troubled wa- ters, she never seems to mind the cry of Let (Jcorge do it . We could not do without her, judging from the number of times she goes home, someone else agrees with us. A domestic life, with heaps of happiness, we predict for Gidge . Edith Boyd Broomall, Pa. Ed Twin .-Xryan Come what, eome may; .-lliiays. ehcerful, ahvays { ay. Ed came to us two years ago with her cheerful laugh and happy disposition. With all her laughing ways, she has shown us that she can be depended upon to make good in the many phases of school life. She is very much interested in card games, especially of the Parker variety. She says she is going to do her bit in this war by driving an ambulance, being well skilled along that line. But what- ever she may choose to take up, we are sure she will make good and we wish her much joy and good luck for the future. Pae e Sixty-seven Margaret Bovd Broomall, Pa. Peg Twin Aryan Thoughtful, loyal, ready to do; And a friend to cheer when you feel blue. Peg is rather an industrious lass, always doing her share and never shirking an un- pleasant task. She is more thoughtful than her twin, yet she always sees the bright side of life. There is no doubt of her success as a student and she has quite an interest in other phases of school li fe, especially in her society. Nature Study is perhaps her most absorbing subject, for did she not learn all about the Diasy (daisy) ? We wish her good luck as we say au revoir. Eugene M. Brady Thomasville, Pa. Gene Moore Gene is one of our happy Dutch boys who cames from the garden spot of York County. During his course here, he has proven a very industrious student, and is very popular among the students, an ever ready friend in time of [leed. As a member of the firm of Brady Menges, he has helped many of us to an extra course after the Normal meals, and now as inajor-domo of the commissary conductors, he serves them all. May the world smile on you, Gene , as you have done on us. Madeline Bray Washington, D. C. Moore A ijirl ivith a funny little laugh. But a dear little girl for a ' that. Is Madeline here? Oh yes! I know she is for I can hear her laugh. If you want to find Madeline, listen a moment and if you do not hear her resouuling laugh, she is not around. But that is not a fault; it is her fun bubbling over, for she is a very jolly and happy girl. Her favorite study is Agriculture, which she fre- quently calls Agony . Her many friends wish her the best possible success in the future, whether in Agony or joy. Mae Brennan Pottsville, Pa. Polly Moore Ahiays eating, alivays greeting. Smiles on you at every meeting. As class bell rings, a voice calls out Girls, do you have a key? You can be sure that ' s Mae. There are always many things to be done in this large and busy world and Polly has very few idle moments. As soon as school is out, she suggests going for a walk, which means going up town for a sundae. She is particularly fond of having her fortune told, but Fate has not revealed her entire future, but we are sure it will be a successful one. Page Sixty-eight Evelyn M. Brosius St. Nicholas, Pa. Aryan i- tender heart, a helping hand, Alivays ready on demand. Evelyn graduated from the Mahanoy Town- ship High School in 1916, and entered Normal in the fall. She delights in teaching at Model and shines resplendently in German (??). But she (inds the days entirely too short for her correspondence. All who are within calling distance of 365 during study hour know her hospitality to callers. Success to you, girlie, in all vou undertake. Mary E. Browkback Spring City, Pa. Moore And her modest nature and i uiet air Sho-Li ' her as good as she is fair. Mary is a quiet lass; except when she laughs, one would not know she was about. This peace- ful, cheerful and industrious maid has been a marked asset to our class. Those who know her best are aware that behind her quiet nature a deal of mischief lies. Mary is a faithful student, always striving to have her lessons prepared, and consequently seldom fails in the class room. We predict a brilliant future for her. Elizabeth M.

If you don ' t believe the saying, that it is a woman ' s privilege and principal characteristic to change her mind, you have never known Hilda. She battles courageously for what she believes, and when there ' s work to be done, she blazes a trail through to a successful finish. Hilda will teach at least until after the war. The Class of 1918 is proud to own her and wishes her a bright future. Member of Ser- pentine staff. Atlantic City, N. J. Moore Florence A. Budde Golden Locks Her laugh is just like music, It lingers in the heart. And where its melody is heard. The ills of life depart. Florence, with her beautiful golden locks, al- luring blue eyes, and winsome ways, hails from the world-famous resort on the Jersey coast, and like all the Mosquitoes is proud of it. She intends to teach for at least five years, but we are sure the life will be too monoto- nous for her. She aspires to be a movie star in order to be near her Case whom she now worships from afar. Edith M. Burleigh Nanticoke, Pa. Eddie Moore She sighs to many, though she loves but one. Who doesn ' t know this blue-eyed, sweet dis- positioned maid? To know her is to love her. By her studies and unassuming disposition, she has won the hearts of her classmates. Eddie spends hour in the Gym trying to reduce her avoirdupois. Pottstown is some burg, eh, Ed- die ? You betchu, and driving a flivver is some sport. Her main ambition is to spread cheer along life ' s road, especially where the Sammies are concerned. Member Educational Club. Pearl L. Burtnett Landisburg, Pa. Moore Oh, girls, isn ' t it awful!! Yes, that is our conscientious Pearl. She believes in doing all she can and worrying about the rest. But she accomplishes a great deal and is one of our class leaders. Her favorite occupation is teach- ing — if you want some entertainment just ask her about substituting in Reading. Pearl ' s greatest failing is sleeping, but perhaps that is where she absorbs much of her extensive knowl- edge. Junior Class Treasurer. Amulet Staff. Corresponding Sec ' y Moore.

Mary, the wit and fun of her hall, her face always alight with a smile, whether it be morn- ing, noon or night. Her chief delight is in occupying the doorway after 10 P. M. She has the happy characteristic of seeing a joke in everything, which has won her many friends at Normal, all of whom wish her the hest possible success as a teacher. Helen M. Carter Pineville, Pa. Aryan S ie has t- o eyes so soft and liroivn; take care! She gives a side glance and looks do-zcn; hr- iiare bcivare! Helen came to us bringing honors from two high schools, Buckingham and Doylestown. That she is bright, we all know, and if she did not continually want to know Why? we would be disappointed. She seems to surround ktiowledge without study, absorbing it like an amoeba engulfs food, for an evening visit to her room usually finds her in the land of dreams. Educational Club. Information C ' omrn. of Y. W. C. A. Mary H. Carter West Chester, Pa. Kit Moore She is pretty to talk with. And ivitty to talk with. And pleasant, too, to think on. A flash of yellow across the green campus and before looking closely we know it is Kit , sporting her yellow sweater, flying across the green to reach chapel on time. One of Kit ' s happy habits is to talk, but it never has any but the best results unless you have work to do. She will surely succeed as a teacher if she captivates her pupils as she has all of us. Like the sparkling mirror of a lake, her happy, care-free, unaffected lovable nature covers depths of serious sincerit ' . Helem C. CAVA AUC(t Johnstown, Pa. Cavanaugh Moore Behind that calm and stately face, Dame Mischief rules a goodly space. Two years ago, tall, dignified maiden came from the Flood City and handed her name to Prof. Newman. Since that time, Cavanaugh has made many friends through her soropias ' and midnight dances. Nothing ever worried her at Normal, and she performed excellently in the Study of Nature and princely wielding of the rod at Model. Third floor annex often resounded with applause at her clever imper- sonations of the grand monarchs of Normal. Good luck to you, Cavanaugh , and may the future wield the hickory rod gently for you! Page Seventy-one Doris E. Chandler Pottsville, Pa. Dode Aryan Never idle, never still, Ahi-ays talking, talk she ivill. Dode is one of our merry hearted lassies, and is one of the happiest and jolliest girls to be found in the school. However, none of this gayety affects her work except that she is as thorough in her work as in her fun. We all know Doris will be successful in teaching for she is very fond of children and delights in trying to make them happy. Missionary Committee of Y. W. C. A. W ' ll.I.IAM Ch. pman Chappie Philadelphia, Pa. Moore Adieu, dear amiable youth. Your heart can ne ' er be ivanting. Here ' s Billie, who came to West Chester in the fall of 1915. Although a student at North- east High of Philadelphia, he did not gradu- ate and consequently has spent an extra year at Normal. He says he has enjoyed his three years here and we don ' t doubt it. Ask the other sex — and the pleasure is mutual. Part of the honors of the 1918 Serpentine go to him as its Business Manager. Varsity Basketball. Secretary Y. M. C. A. Vice-Pres.

This quaint and stately modern PrisciIJa maiden hails from Philadelphia High School. She is a treasure of gold untold if one takes the effort to understand her. Freckles ' mis- chievious nature gets her into scraps, but her quick wit and quicker tongue usually allow her to coast free in short order. One part of her charming disposition is the elimination of the pronoun I from her vocabulary — it ' s al- ways we (Mack and I). Alexander Choman Taylor, Pa. Alec Moore Alec is a rather good looking young man and is very susceptible to femine charms, al- though we cannot discover any particular one. He is a very conscientious worker, at school or outside, and is continually striving to do better, always willing to ask and take advice from others. .Alec is a marvelous penman, being verv popular among his fellow students for making name cards, and his talent will surelv be a great asset to him when he goes forth to teach. Page Seventy-two Clara Clark Scranton, Pa. Tige ' Aryan Wait for me, kids, I ' m coming is Tige ' s favorite and well-used idiom, which vibrates along the walls of the halls when the class bells sound. She is a minute man — everything goes to the last minute — but she always man- ages to squeeze in on time. Tige is par- ticularly fond of athletics and has proven her ability on the basketball team. Her sunny na- ture is revealed to us by her eager consent for fun or a good joke. There seems to be a lit- tle spark of love still burning down in her heart for Old Virginny ' for there she Hadd many good times. Mary E. Cloud Newtown Square, Pa. Aryan .-It i.lwse sight all the stars Hide their diminished heads. Mary joined our ranks in the spring of 16, and even though her name denotes darkness we have never noticed the same in her classwork, as she has finished the required course with high credits. Being genial and witty and al- ways greeting everyone with a smile, she has won for herself many friends who know that she will be successful in all of her undertak- ings. She has already proven a star in pri- mary teaching and even through her altitude is calculated to make her look down on others, the radiance of her sunny countenance dispels all gloom. Dorothy M. Clymo Dover, Del. Dot Moore For she is a jolly good pal loved hy all. There are many who will emphatically agree with this. Dot comes from the Diamond State and is always ready to insist that it receive due recognition. She is rather quiet and blushes too dear for words on certain pretexts — con- cerning Normal life, and is especially fond of attending church on Sunday nights. She sings, plays, dances, and Oh, — well, she can do most anything. In general, we may say that Dot is a jolly, good chum and her many friends wish her the best of success in her future activities. Blanche L. Collins Canton, Pa. Moore ot so t ood and quiet as she seems. Blanche comes from Bradford County, and keeps up its reputation — no place like it this side of heaven? She is studious except when a good time is in view. During the hours of recreation she crochets (?) when not up town. Is there a reason? Well, she swears rather strongly, by Heck. And appears to be fond ff windy weather. With all her faults, we love her still and find her a good friend. ♦« Page Seventy-three Mary W. Collins Johnstown, Pa. Hepz Squire Moore To knoiv her is to love her. A bunch of curly hair, two sparkling eyes, a nose with a retrograde motion — who can guess? It ' s Hepz saying Good morning glories to Third Floor Annex. Hepz is always ready for a good time — or to start one — clever and entertaining, being a member of the Cavan- augh Impersonating Co. But Mary has also distinguished herself as an Earnest worker in all lines of school work. She has the spirit and determination to get whatever she wants and we are sure it will continue in her future life. Sec ' y of Senior Class. Educational Club. Cj. M. G. Rec ' d Sec ' y Moore. Elsie B. Conrow Moorestown, N. J. Moore Elsie arrived at the Normal School three years ago, and much to the surprise of her intimate friends has never affixed her seal and signature to the Black Book . She prob- ably appears meek and quiet but it is not so — particularly if there happens to be male in- dividuals under discussion. Elsie hopes some day to reach high elevations and is making ex- cellent progress — being now almost six feet. She is one of our athletic stars, playing on the Senior basketball team and also being much in- terested in hockey and swimming. Joseph D. Conry Philadelphia, Pa. Joe Moore Smile at your failures and you ' ll die laughing at your suriesses. At the beginning of the year Joe was in the army, but was rejected physically after being stationed at Fort Slocum for some time. He says If at first you don ' t succeed try, try again. While at Normal, Joe earned the rep- utation of official entertainer. When any of the fellows had friends calling, Joe was al- ways on the job with his humorous selections. Outside of the dorm his entertaining was usual- ly limited to one known as Kitty . A smile and Joe are inseparable and he attributes his ex- cess avordupois to that. We all wish the liest of luck to Joe. Beatrice R. Courtney West Point, Pa. Bee Moore .■Is lovely as a butterfly, hut just a busy Bee. Beatrice left a host of friends behind her when she came to us from Indiana Normal, but she at once gained many more. Bee has shown enviable literary and artistic ability; is a tennis star, a champion tomato canner and a winner of the swimming shield. She is doing her gracious bit for her country by writing to numerous soldier bovs, but most frequently to Mick . Page Seventy-jour Mary R. Courtney West Grove, Pa. Aryan Th is blue-eyed maiden hails from the town of roses. Here as in the West CJrove High School she has excelled in her favorite study, History. Another of her delit;h;s is Agriculture and almost at any time you may hear her ex- claiming Oh kid, do you have that lesson plan in Ag done? Mary declares she will teach fortv years and then retire on her pension, hut we seriously doubt this. She is a loyal friend and always ready for a good time, even during studv hour. V. W. C.

This is only force of habit, however, for we know- she is very much alive, especially when she is taking strenuous exercises for her voice or when we see her demonstrate some fancy strokes in swimming. Hans is deeply interested in Kane work and stores up information for future reference. She enjoys knitting for soldiers and we hope she will be rewarded. We are all mighty glad to have made her ac- (juaintance. Marie J. Cowling Chapman Quarries, Pa. Tommy Aryan Here is a blue-eyed lassie who is very stu- dious but ;vhen there is any fun on foot. Tom- my is sure to be present. Her favorite author is Harry Lauder, who won her heart by It ' s nice to get up in the morning, but it ' s nicer to lie in bed . Her roomies are well aware of this, for every morning her cry is Sandwich, please . Her leisure time is spent in crochet- ing from which we gather that teaching will not be on her program long. Her gracious ways and sociability have established many friend- ships, and one and all wish her the best of success. Mildred Ellen Cox Norristown, Pa. Bill ' Moore A daughter of t ir ( oils, divinely tall,. And most divinely fair. Mildred was born and educated in Norris- town, coming to West Chester after graduating from the Norristown High School. She is not crazy about studying but is an expert when it comes to drawing, making posters, knitting and all kinds of fancy work. Brimming over with fun and good nature, tall aiul good look- ing, nevertheless her pet aversion is the boys and she expects to be a bacheloress and make Art her life work. Serpentine Staff. Pat e Seventy-five Gertrude E. Cromwell West Chester, Pa. Aryan She loves to wind her mouth up; She loves to hear it go. Gertrude has been a faithful student during her four years here, and although Agriculture is not her favorite subject she made good use of it while substituting in a country school. She declares she will teach only in a rural school, which will be an ideal one, and she can- not help succeeding as she does in everything attempted. No matter how busy she is plan- ning for the future, as soon as the soldier boys are mentioned, she reminds us of her soldier boy somewhere in France . Happy years and full ones, Gertrude. Lettie W. Cross. n Landenberg, Pa. Moore Lettie entered these halls of learning in the spring of 1916 and has been setting the pace for some of us ever since. Besides her ability as a student she can do all kinds of work on the farm, and the traffic cop in Wilmington will testify as to her skillful driving of a car. Lettie is about all Wright . Her many acts of kindness and good will have won her many friends who unite in prophess ' ing a successful career. Fannie M. rie Cullum Spring Citi,-, Pa. Moore Fanny came to us in the fall of 1916, from the Spring City High School. She soon became ac- quainted and has spread sunshine in the lives of many friends. She is studious but never worries, her favorite subjects being History and Psyc . When duties come her way you can always hear her say I wish I were rich instead of good looking . We are sure she will make a successful teacher, — if she remains in the profession. Marth.a Cunard West Chester, Pa. Moore A (jirl she seems of cheerful yesterdays, And confident tomorroiis. Martha came from Everett, Pa., and from what she says, she was some bright child. Nov she lives in West Chester and enjoys her walk to Normal every morning. She seems always to know her lessons, the secret of which we would like to know, for most of her time seems to be taken up with vocal lessons and a Uni- versit ' course. We hope the future will be as successful as her time spent here and that the cares and duties that come will find and lea ' e her as light hearted and gay as she is now. Page Seventy-six Alice J. H.

She is a good sport and always ready to join in any fun. At any time in the day she readily re- sponds when we quote, Pray let me hear you recite some of your verse . School is not a burden to Al , although she did not have a friendK ' feeling for the themes she wrote. She is far from indolent, however, atul little escapes her, especially the noises on the hall. Florence I. Darrah Flo Shenandoah, Pa. Moore Oh! blessed iiith temper ivliuse unclouded ray. Can make tomorroiv as cheerful as today. Flo is known for her kind and sympathetic disposition and her main am ' .iilion is doing things to make life happy for others. We think she missed her vocation when she chose teach- ing for her read ' wit and hue impersonations would certainly win her a place in the theatric- al world. However, we feel confident that she will be a success, teaching or whatever she pur- sues, until she is asked to stop traveling alone on Life ' s road. DiLYS M. D.wiES Peckville, Pa. Dil .Xryan This seemingly quiet Welsh maiden came to us from Peckville in the fall of 1916. She is very fond of tea as it brings bac k memories of her childhood days in good old England. Be- hind her quiet manner, she conceals a lot of fun and she is always ready to second a motinn for a good time. Her favorite occupation is knitting, knitting, knitting and her hands are never idle. We cannot predict what career lies ahead of Dil , for such snapping brown eves are not to be trusted. Nanticoke, Pa.

Who could know her and not lo ' e her, for she is always the same, with her abundance of good nature and those dainty little giggles. She is fond of all her subjects, but to her the most interesting is Theines . Her special de- light is letter writing, her nightly expression being I just must get this letter off to-night and she usuallv does. Page Seventy-seven Mary C. Davis Newport, Pa. Aryan Merry as the day is long. Here ' s one of our jolly, merry, Perry County girls. Mary graduated from the Newport High School, attended Dickinson College for one year and then, not wishing to spend the next three years in book education, came to West Chester as a Senior of 1918. Every one who knows Mary can well see that teaching will not hold its attraction for many years. Although quiet and shy, she has many friends among the girls, and some others ! Mildred Davis Lansdowne, Pa. Moore Mildred came to us from Lansdowne High and soon became one of the popular girls in Study Hall, always ready to join in the divert- ing fun that is continually stirring there. She believes in studying as little as possible but al- ways makes a good showing in class. Her punctuality is one of her many good qualities and promises well for her future success. Nellie C. Dawson Bristol, Pa. Aryan Happy, vivacious, gay. Fortune ivill surely smile on her ivay. Nellie, better known as Nell , came to these Serpentine walls in the fall of ' 16, after hav- ing graduated from Bristol High in the spring. One of those quiet girls — to all but those who know her. She intends to teach for the two years sentence, but good behaviour may bring earlier release. Benjamin Chambers Denison Dauphin, Pa. Aryan Happy !tT met; happy we have been; happy ii;e part; Happy itr part; happy ice met again. Ben is the champion corn cutter and busker in the Class of 1918. He hails from Dauphin County where they grow real men. He is lib- eral Iv social with everyone, being interested in the welfare of his associates, but he special- izes on one rosy cheeked specimen in the Main Building. We write his name beside that of .Abou Ben . ' dhem in our memory, for he is a conspicuous follower of the Golden Rule. - irica , K w I mi I III Page Seventy-eighl Marv Edith Dennison Hockessin, Del.

She is a member of the Educational Club. Edith S. Detwiler Colmar, Pa. Sappie Eed Aryan Did you hear something strange just then? Well, never mind, it was only Sappie laugh- ing. Although Sappie gives one the impres- sion of continual robust health, she was, during the Junior year, addicted to fainting spells , perhaps due to too much Djer-Kiss. Much to her regret Sappie has never found anyone who will compete with her in a talking con- test. We are sure Sappie would be a suc- cess as a Gym teacher or a Shakepearean dra- matist, between which professions it is difficult to discriminate — for her. However, she swears solemnly that she is going to teach e ' en if she is obliged to go to China or the Phillipines to do it. M. RY E. Detwiler Altoona, Pa. Molly Reddy Moore .■ peach ' Ziith the sunny side up. It was a northwesterly wind that blew Molly to ' est Chester oti a rainy dav earl ' in September, 1916, but she cleared up the clouds with her sunny smile and cheerful disposition. You just can ' t help loving her; there ' s some- thing warm and rich way down deep and you never strike bottom. Molly seems to be very fond of poetry, her favorite being The Last Leaf — we know not why. Alert and strenu- ous, whether at work or play, and you can generally find her door marked Busy be- tween 7 and 10. Molly , we ' ll miss you. Re- cording Secretary of Moore and Asst.

Joe Aryan Josephine, better known as Joe , entered .Normal a year ago and has succeeded wonder- fully in everything which she has attempted. She is very fond of athletics of ail kinds and is almost a champion in tennis playing. The Sat- urday morning breakfasts taken out in the deep recesses of some nearby West Chester woods are certainly made more enjoyable by her jolliness and carefree ways. Josephine will make an excellent teacher if she has the op- portunity to experiment but we fear those new bangs will result in her engagement — in some other line than teaching. Page Seventy-nine Albert D. Dotter White Haven, Pa. Moore Allured to brighter ivorlds and led the ' way. This serious looking young man graduated from the White Haven High School in 1915. To broaden his views of the world, he be- came a pedagogue in Carbon County for one year, after which the lure of higher realms of scholarship and service brought him to West Chester in 1916. He has always been an earn- est student and a reliable friend. His chief delight is to do research work in education. Member of A. A. Advisory Board and Varsity Baskestball, Pres. Moore.

Jen came to us last year after four years of industrious study at Newtown High School and has kept up her diligent work. To those who do not know her she seems to be very quiet and reserved, but those qualities quickly vanish when one knows Jen . Her favorite study is Ag (???) She furnishes one-half the fun at 1-2 ( I guess you know ). If you want a good yarn or laugh, she always has an abundant supply on hand. We all wish the greatest of success to Jennie in her chosen pro- fession, and in her life work after she leaves it. M. RY A. DovvLiN Dowlin ' s Forge, Pa. Aryan The name of Mary ' s home is characteristic of her for she has forged quite a reputation at Normal for industry and achievements in study, as is evidenced by her calls to substitute or assist in teaching here. Knowledge is power and contentment rests upon it — you can see that teaching agrees with Mary. Meanwhile, La Rue waits. She has been assistant to Prof. Whedon, treasurer of Y. W. C.

Although Helen ' s head scarcely appears above the desks, her voice pierces the clouds, its melody and her sunny disposition tipping them with dosy tints and tilling Study Hall with sprightly merriment. Oh how it will miss her next year when she is teaching in a little rural school. This ener- getic and capable infant terrible has as her greatest ambition the teaching of vocal music to the little (young) ones. We know they will just adore her and study twice as hard. El.i.EN L. Drummond Nanking, China Aryan Please go ' i ' :ay and let me sleep. Yes, that is Ellen! Faithful in everything and especially in sleeping. Although she de- tests the rising bell and a 7:45 class, the same cannot be said about her studies. French and English are her favorite subjects, but just ask her about her Ag notebook! Ellen often finds it an irresistable temptation to visit her friends after study hour has begun, but as honest con- fession is good for the soul she takes her medicine bravely. To whatever land your footsteps may turn, Ellen, there we invoke suc- cess for you. Gr. ce E.

We wish her prosperity and happiness in either field. Helen E. Dunkle Cochranville, Pa. Aryan That she is timid and sedate. So douht you may aver. But that proves v ell enough, perhaps, oTt Utile you knoic her. This quiet maiden came into our fold in the fall of 1915, after graduating from Cochran- ville High School. She is full of ambition and if she continues the good work that she has done here, her desires will surely be consumated.

Dunnie predicts a life of single bliss, but we notice her suffrage views have moderated perceptibly.

Her buoyant spirit and vivacious conversation are contagious. Although deeply engrossed in her school work most of the time, she enters heartily into everything possible in the social life.

She loves to accompany the victrola, with the other devotees of the dance, until study hour begins, after which you can alwavs find her in her cell at her allotted tasks. She is one of those rarities who are fond of mathematics, and we are sure she will suc- ceed in anything else if she absorbs that sub- ject so easily. Page Eighty-four Rachel C.

We hope so, for she has all the qualities that characterize a good one; kind, lovable and thoughtful of others, and, like all noble women, very deter- mined. Her frequent journeys and her inter- est in her school and V. V. work keeps her very active. Member Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Alma B. Frey Reading, Pa. Friz Aryan Her modest look a cottage might adorn. Hail to the most studious member of the Reading Pretzels. When it comes to Latin, Friz is a whiz and she would be horrified if she broke a rule. Her favorite pastime is talking in her sleep, so interesti[ig and variable, now forceful and now loving and calm. ' hich latter state must be when she is dreaming of marching up the aisle to the tune of O, Promise Me , to be given away to a Duke . Cathrine L. Gable Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Moore This demure maiden hails from tSod ' s coun- try — to quote her rapturous ravings about the homeland. She is quite a cut-up and has a repu- tation on the fourth floor for her artistic story telling, her favorite theme being The Hermit . Ca ' herine is very studious, hTwever, and (|uite enthusiasdc about teaching. Her artistic tem- perament takes peculiar foriiis — her devices for keeping warm include a wash rag for the crown of her hat and cotton for her toes. Prosperity and success are the heartfelt wishes of the many friends who have been attracted to her by her sunny and amiable disposition. K; THRVM M. GALLAGHER .Mlentown, Pa. Kitty Monre Kitty is one of our most studious girls, star- ring especially in CJym and Manual Training. She faithfully abides by all the rules, being prompt at the call of the dining room bell and always has her laundry down on time. She is very active in her chosen Society and occasion- allv favors us with vocal selections. The Class is indebted to her also for many points in the Inter-class swimming meets. After graduation, she intends to take up military training at Cainp Hancock; we can guess why. Page Eighty-five Rhea (Jates Scranton, Pa. Aryan Rhea is the quiet, demure little girl who lives in 225. She is quite talented along artistic lines and after completing the prescribed course in art at Normal, she began studying in Philadelphia. . ' s artists are usually quite bohemian and indifferent in their attire, we judge there are other attractions than art in the big city, when we see all the preparations on Friday nights for the Saturday trip to Philly. Rhea is quite addicted to sleeping and eating but manages to work in between and she is sure to succeed if she controls these bad habits. Anna Ganges West Chester, Pa. The faeries liae gi ' cn her a smile so rare An ' a heartie sae tender and true. That the luv comes a ivellin ' up in us moisl sair. Oh! mi! iihat else can ive dof Anna is a graduate of the West Chester High School. There her standard mark was ninety and when she went to a quizz, she calmly led the way, and always to victory. So it is with her here at Normal. Sister Anna was once a suffragist, but not now, for she has a beau, and is an anarchist (Anna kissed). Ann. M. Gear Holland, Pa. Gearie .Aryan Live to learn. Gearie came to us during the fall of 1916, from Flasterville High School, and liked study- ing so much that she remained for the Summer School. She has spent all her time here as a day student. We believe Anna will be a very successful teacher, for she has done wonder- fully well at Model School. She enters upon her duties with deep interest and great con- fidence and all the pupils are quite fond of her, probably because of her pleasing smile. Marv R. Geiss Bernville, Pa. Moore Stop! Look! and Listen! Mary is always in a rush and like the busy little bee, improves each shining hour . She sh ines in the real sense of the work, especially the crown of her head. Mary ' s ways are very attractive and her character is as beautiful as her lustrous brown eyes. Her thirst for knowl- edge is almost equal to her love for Sunday afternoon auto rides. She says her ambition is to teach but then Time may come and time may go, but she ' ll talk on forever . Page Eighty-six NoRMAM D. George Richlaiidtown, Pa. George Aryan This little athlete came to us from the fair county of Bucks. He is a wonderful tvvirler and his successful curves brought many a vic- tory to the Normal team. Cieorge is also a basketball star and a skilled master on skates, having; been very much in Earnest about the latter during his Junior year. He is a heart smasher among the fairer se.x and his smile has won many a fair lady. Varsity base- ball, Pres. Bovs ' .Athletic .Association, Treas. Y. . l. C. -A. Pres. Aryan. Dorothea Gernovich Washington, N, J. Dippy Dora Moore A wild, piercing shriek — yes, that ' s Dora — but be not alarmed — it ' s probably only another let- ter from West Point, or Camp Meade, or possi- bly Fort Slocum. .All of her spare time is spent in writing letters, when she isn ' t ai her favorite pastimes of hitting the hay or taking long hikes. This love for the open air has grown rapidly during her Senior year. In studies, her favorite subjects are .Arithmetic, .Algebra, CJe- ometry, and Trig, so you can readily guess where this able scholar will shine in practical teaching, which she has already done on High Street. Corr. Secv. of Moore. Educational Club. G. M. G. Ruth E. Gever Bendersville, Pa. Rufus .Aryan Happy he thy Jays hvjure llui Friend of our old school days. Ruth comes to us from Adams County. She is of a very retiring and refined nature, so much so that many consider her bashful. Her love for mathematics is so great that the mere men- tion of Senior Arithmetic causes her to shud- der and look wise. Ruth expects to teach for some time, but her whole ambition is to be a trained nurse, which desire we hope to see realized and wish her all possible success. Florence M. Gill Cochranville, Pa. Flossy .Aryan Laugh and (jroiv fal. Florence keeps up the high standard of the girls from Cochranville, but we fear there is a a reason for her goodness; relatives of minis- ters must keep up the family dignity. Flossy has been a diligent student, and one would think her favorite subject would be .Ag, judging from her interest in Hoggs but she conceals it well. She does not expect to teach more than two years. We hope it comes true and wish her success and happiness in cither case. Pa e Eighty-seven Erma p. Gill Cochranville, Pa. Aryan Still water run ' s deep. Erma, quiet, unassuming, and demure, came to us in 1916, and since that time she has been an earnest, studious worker. She is infatuated with teaching and one can often hear her say, after a session at Model, the dear little hrats . She has enjoyed her work at Normal very much, especially Psy , and we are sure her success will continue when she leaves. Miriam L. Glover Pottsville, Pa. Aryan Oh, then the longest summer ' s day Seemed too, too much in haste; Still me full heart had not imparted half; ' Tiias happiness too exquisite to last. Maybe you are not aware of it, but Bert ' s Clover is poetically inclined. You would hard- ly associate Pottsville and coal with poetry, but Strang things happen. Now just what might that little verse at the top mean? Confiden- tially, let me tell you it brings to the damsel ' s blue-as-the-sky eyes a fond and dreaming look. Can it be that she is dreaming of a Haynes car and Boy Scoutmasters? But with such a name, how could he help but (G) lover? Grace A. Gordon Lionville, Pa. Moore (irace appears to be very quiet and reserved but appearances deceive. She is very good natured and takes much teasing from her friends without being provoked. Lionville is only a little village, but everything must have a beginning, and those who seek knowledge soon g.-i abroad. Grace graduated from Lion- ville and then journeyed to Douningtown High School from which she also gathered much knowledge before entering Normal. Madei. V. Gordon Newtown, Pa. Mabel is a graduate of the Robesonia High School and has spent three most successful years in the Normal School. She has excep- tional matheniatical abilin,- but of all the sub- jects in the Normal curriculum. Gym is Mabel ' s favorite; you will always find her on the floor on time. Mabel is a conscientious girl and we know that she will make a success in life. Her motto is Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you, and when trouble troubles vou, run awav from trouble . Page Eiglity-eii lil Marie Elizabeth Gorman Inkerman, Pa. Moore Ske ' s SKeet of disposition, She ' s loving, ivise and kind. She ' s full of true affection. She cannot be defined. Whene ' er you see a tall, imposing, black haired lassie, with a good natured smile upon her countenance, it ' s a safe bet that it is Marie. She graduated from St. John ' s High School in Pittson, and her Alma Mater can well be proud of her daughter, whose many fine qualities are continually coming to the surface. Athletics are Marie ' s chief delight, and she is an active member of the Hockey Team. She has fully decided to enter the field of Domestic Science, — in a practical way. Lalra E. Granger Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Moore She is not very big in stature but Oh my! she can start something . She is very big around the heart, however, and is greeted with joy whenever anyone has the blues for she cer- tainly knows how to cheer up folks. Her re- pertoire consists of funny stories, jokes, songs, and she is quite accomplished in dancing (solos). Laura has a warm spot in her heart for Allentown, also Boston (city?). She works hard at her lessons, especially Ag , in which she is remarkably bright. Here ' s to her success wherever she may go or whatever she may do. Marion Greenfield Norristown, Pa. Greenie Moore Her step is music and her -voice is song. Although we call Marion Greenie by name, we could by no means apply it to her nature. She came to us in the fall of 1916 after gradu- ating from Plymouth High School. Her abilitv to complete successfully whatever she under- takes has brought her excellent results in her work at Normal, and her future looms bright and successful, the just reward for untiring ef- fort. She fully e.tpects to be a school marm but the letters still come from Pottstown. Amy C. Griffith Frackville, Pa. Amos Moore -Amy is quite proud of hailing from West Philadelphia High and we don ' t blame her when we consider how much knowledge, gained th rc, she has stored in her gray matter. Be advised and don ' t go hiking with Amos unless you have secured a pair of seven league biots for you ' re sure to be left. This ambitious and energetic girl aims to become Dr. Green ' s suc- cessor as teacher of English in West Chester Normal. Hitch your wagon to a star. Amy is quite a personage here — proof of which we have in the following list of her achieveinents and activities. Corr. Sec ' y Monre, Amulet Staff, Serpentine Staff, Educational Club.

When it comes to dialect, he is incom- parable. Abe ' s art is by no means confined to music. He is much admired by the fair sex, but as to who admires him the most, we think first place goes to Peg . He is a very enthusiastic fellow, but nevertheless we hear him exclaiming, if work interferes with sleep, let work alone . Cheer Leader, Vice-Prcs. of Junior Class, Pres. Aryan, Serpentine Staff. Marv Allen Hacerti- Chester, Pa. Baby Dear Moore On hand and ready ii ' hene-ver there ' s fun. Everyone likes her; likes everyone; Whence all that pride? Why, look where she hails from! And she ' s a shark, too. She shines in Gym and as for lessons — well, they just amuse her. Mathematics are the grandest things that ever happened, rays of sunshine in a stupid old world. In spite of that Chester bragging, Baby Dear admits that West Chester is a nice place in which to exist. Jane M. Hall Lansford, Pa. Aryan This Lansford girl can always be found with a bright and cherry nature, which is manifest in the pleasing way she greets everyone with a hearty Hello . Her favorite adage is Laugh and grow fat . Jane is never happier than when she can sit down with a box of chocolates and let her thoughts run at random. Her greatest tribulation is the constant loss of her tooth brush and her many friends hope sin- cerely that some day she gets a brush that will keep on hanging around . Rachael Hamilton Chestnut Hill, Pa. Ray ' Moore She ' s a bonnie ivee thing, She ' s a uinsome ivee thing. This classmate of ours. As well as Ray loves the sound of the Bell and Trig, she always lies in bed and watches the hands of the clock creep around to 7 ;40. Five minutes is an abundance of time for Ray to get dressed and study Trig. Nature and .Art are two subjects that she is very found of and we think she will be an artist some day. . Rav of sunshine applies to her, for she alwavs wears a smile and never loses patience. Her big brown eyes are very attractive and thev speak volumes for her popularity. Moore Anniversary Secy.

We cannot decide whether Marie will teach Languages or Mathe- matics in the CoUegeville High School. The best wishes of the class are with her. MiNA Hart Kennet Square, Pa. Aryan Mina is the other branch of our Kennett graduates. After an inglorious year as a junior, she settled down to deli ' er the goods. Mina ' s one ambition yas Art, especially draw- ing, but she lost out along this line because of a superabundance of foreordained prejudicism. But we all expect to see her teaching Art in the near future. Mina is an all-round sport, with hut one failing — big eats . Elizabeth Head Wyebrooke, Pa. Betr Aryan (It is impossible to tell this in second or third person — just sit still and listen.) Oh yes, I ' m ' Betty ' . I came here in 1915 and have managed to hang on till now. I ' m always busy; if there is nothing important to do, I just talk. You ask me why I knit so much — well, I have lots of friends and they just must not freeze. As for my studies — oh, they ' ll keep. Sh! I ' ll tell you one thing, though, I ' m just crazy about Ag. (That ' s all; now we ' re in.) You just can ' t help admiring Betty — she gets there and does it well, and we wish her the best of success in teaching or what comes after. . CNES Heager Dickson City, Pa. Spot Moore She lias tv:o eyes so soft and hrozun, Take eare! Beivare. ' This is characteristic of our Spot as all of her friends know that she is full of fun and al- ways ready to raise a racket. She came to us from Dickson City High School in 1916. Very fond of outdoor sports, especially canoeing and hiking. If a strain of music is heard coming from some corner of the building, you are like- ly to find Spot there keeping lime on trip- ping toes. Her pleasing personality is sure to find a warm spot in the hearts of her pupils and bring her merited success in- teaching. Auf Wiedersehn . Page Ninety-one -Cv J — X Thelma B.

Consistency is the key- ( -- 5 ' Jii i si, ' ' © note to her character, and her life in the rug- eed mountain regions has developed high ideals in Ruth, and her one ho ' oby is to live up to J them. She expects to teach near home. Piirie Nini ty tiio Elizabeth Hichley Berwyn, Pa. Lib Aryan Elizabeth is a very pleasant girl with a sunny disposition. The only time she gets out of sorts is when she has to write a letter t her sister . Lib is very fond of study hai!, and whatever hour of the day she has off ynu may be sure to find her there hard at work, or perhaps is it the person in charge that is the incentive. Her greatest desire is to teach In the Philippines and ve wish her the greatest possi- ble success in her ambition. H. RRiETT Edna Hilty ' andegrift, I ' a. Ted Study, study, study and then some. Ted spent two years at Buckness before she decided to finish at West Chester, and she has also had a year of rural teaching. Being such a diligent stude, there is little time to indulge in school activities, but nevertheless, everybody likes Ted and wants to know her better. Her pensive blue e_ es are alwa s worrying over CJeometry propositions, but she has others, subjects and persons also in her dreams, and from the vo ' ume of her corre- spondence she will not teach ver long.

Moore .- fjt ift lass — there are hut jeiv ll ' hn knnic the treasure hid in you. Rosa is a graduate of Portage High School and has proven herself a great credit to that school by her earnest and successful efforts here. She is a very faithful student, consider- ing thorough preparation of work her first dun. ' . When you have become an intimate, her favor- ite topic of conversation is old ' irginia (her childhood home), persimmons, muskmelons, fried chicken and corn pone. Page Ninety-three Edna Y. Hoffecker Pottstown, Pa. Eddie Aryan Edna, affectionately termed Eddie , whose charming smile and winning personality has endeared her to all, came to Normal from Potts- town High in the fall of 1916. She is lovable and clever and especially fond of dancing and house parties. An after ten squelching is quite common because her effervescent spirit simply overflows, and oh, that giggle — when a funny notion strikes her. Just watch those pretty dark eyes exert their wonderful powers, but also take notice of the captive. May her future be as bright and merry as her disposition. C. Helen Hoffm. n Glen Moore, Pa. Aryan Helen is a graduate of East Nantmeal and Downingtovvn High Schools. She is a faithful student and worker in school activities, especial- ly in the V. W. C. A., and was a delegate to the National Conference at Eaglcsmere. She appears to be of of a calm temperament, but just visit the Parcels Post Department about 1 -.30 if you want to see her fussed . Helen says she is looking forward with much pleasure to her teaching career. Eliz.abeth Hoffman Schuylkill Haven, Pa. Betty Aryan Who said looks are deceiving? Betty is one of those volcanoes that appears quiet and subdued, but, alas! there is more fun and mis- chief stored upin this young lady ' s band box than you can pack in a steamer trunk. Betty joined our ranks two years ago, and has made many friends, especially during Thanksgiving vacation. Although she is not of artistic tem- perament, she spent laborious hours over her drawing and became a famous artist. Harvey S. Hoffman Orwin, Pa. Ho ' Off Moore It takes a lean horse for a long run. It is thus with Harvey, for he came to Normal at the beginning of the fall term of ' 15 and has been with us ever since. Although he is a very quiet young man, he Has enjoyed himself at West Chester Normal. He has spent many evenings in the C.ym and is especially good in the giant stride. He has also participated in the interclass baseball games the last two years and always on the winning side. He is not only a good athlete, for he has talent that promises to make him, in the future, an artist of re- nown. Keep it up, Harvey. Page Nincty-juur Helen A. Holl Media, Pa. Moore This lovely girl came to us from Media High in 1917. Her charms brought her many friends there and since coming to Nortnal, she has add- ed many more. Helen is a sincere friend, full of fun, and always ready to join in anything that will cheer up Study Hall. We all wish her success and hope she will not forget us when she departs from Normal. Mildred C. Hollingswortii Chadd ' s Ford, Pa. Aryan To kno L ' her is to love Iter. This blue eyed maiden came to us in the fall of 1916, after graduating from Kennett Square High. She is always cheerful and studious but doesn ' t believe in worry. Al- though extremely quiet with strangers, let us assure you that the old saying still water runs deep is very pertinent here. She has made up her mind to teach, and we wish her success and happiness. Helen L. Hoopes West Chester, Pa. Hoopsie Aryan Hoopsie comes to us from Bel Air High School, Harford County, Ma. She is quite an aquatic acrobat, and her frequent visits to the swimming pool have brought her several re- wards. One of her habitual ((uestions is Say! what did he do in Ag? No matter where Hoopsie may be, she is always singing. We certainly hope she may always find something to sing about in her teaching career. Alma B. Horn Donaldson, Pa. Moore Live lu iilc you ' re here, for you ' re a liiny time dead. Behold the angelic smile of our . ' Mma B., who came to us from Millcrsville Ni.rmal dur- ing the fall term of 1917. The atmnsphere of West Chester Normal seems to harmonize with her sunnv disposition. Leave it to Alma to re- late the jokes; if asked the source of them, her invariable answer is Dr. CJreen . Her special predilections are Gym (?) and Drawing {???). Beloved classmate, may your future life be as cheerful and successful in work and friendships as have your school days. Page Ninety-five NoELWAH C. HOTTES ' STIEN Luzerne, Pa. Moore The ixorld is ever changing, and so is she. However apparently quiet and reserved, she is a fun-loving girl and can see a joke even if it is on herself. Her favorite studies? She has none, or if so, we can not discover them, for all are equally well prepared. Her personality is such that a mere suggestion from her is enough to impel you to serve her; no com- mands are necessary. With such a quality, she is sure to succeed in her chosen profes- sion. A. Ross HousE.AL Maytown, Pa House Aryan 7 ol en my mouth and voluminous and melodi- us tones pour forth. We certainly owe a debt to Lancaster Coun- ty for sending House to Normal. He ranks high in both classes and athletics; having been on the Varsity basketball team tvvo years. There is nothing outside the coal regions that he loves as well as he does sleep. His well known say- ing is: If work interferes with sleep, rous with work . However, we are sure that House will continue his excellent work when he leaves Normal. Pres. Junior Class, Pres.

However, she is a very studious girl and would never think of retiring before the usual hour arrives because she hates to leave her lessons? We wonder why that daily letter from (Georgia is such a delight. She has decided to spend at least ten years in the realm of teaching, and we wish her great success in her ambition. Helen K. Hughes Haverford, Pa. Little Sister. Helen, better known by the above endearment, came to Normal from Haverford High School, where she has been greatly missed by those who know her. She is a quiet lassie but a close observer will note a sparkle of fun and good humor in her bright, brown eyes. The only thing that bothers Helen is that terrible Per- spective endured in C 10, but beyond that we are sure of great things from her, whether in teaching or otherwise. Page Ninety-six I.EN-ORE I. Hughes Len Kingston, Pa. Arvan Music hath its charms and so does a girl with brown curly hair and laughing eyes. Here is another of the Luzerne County repre- sentatives. She possesses an abundance of wit and good humor, as all who know her will agree. One of her favorite amusements is danc- ing, and she is in great demand as a leader. We are sure her abilitv ' and perseverance will carrv her on to success after she leaves Normal. Gertrude R. Hu.mmel Gert Colwyn, Pa. , rvan Gert is a most remarkable girl, as happy and carefree as can be. .Ml her subjects were very interesting to her, especially drawing and g m (??). Since she does such good work in the latter, Gert would probably make a good physical culture teacher, but as to how long she would teach that or anything else, there is great uncertaintv. Robert. T. Hunter Bertie Cochranville, Pa. . Xrvan Here is another representative of Cochran- ville, — small of stature and unassuming. This maiden is capable of doing many things well. Her chief occupation is telling us of her artistic ability and writing letters and singing Some of the Time . She is very fond of riding, es- pecially ponies. Being a member of 10-8, we expect to see her wearing a service pin. Cheer up, Bertie , we wish you great success. Gr. ce E. 1r vi Cynwyd, Pa. .

She is an only child, but it is a debatable subject whether or not she is a menace to society for she is the best kind of a friend when you are real intimate. She likes anything in the line of eats but carmels are her chief indulgence in the sweet line. As long as you keep your eyes open for that ideal , Fannie, we ha ' e our doubts about those two years of teaching. Helen W. Johnson Woodstown, X. J.

She expects to teach after graduation but her friends say that this will not be her life work. Good luck, Mim . Ellenor M. Keenan Phoenixville, Pa. Moore. Beneath this calm and serene face The fun -within it ' s hard to trace. This tall fair haired maiden came to West Chester in the fall of 1916 from Phoenix High. Her favorite studies are Sociology and Drawing (?). The first thing Ellenor is heard saying upon entering a room is Got anything to eat? — meaning sour pickles and pretzels, upon which she seems to thrive. Her cheerful disposition has made her many friends and as she is fond of children, her teaching career should be successful and interesting. Helen F. Kelleher Ardmore, Pa. Moore Helen is one of those affectionate girls who came to us from Kennett High, and her sweet disposition has endeared her to many. She has two hobbies — dancing, in which she is very proficient, and drawing, in which absence makes the heart grow fonder . What a nut is often heard from her, but she contends that some nuts are pretty nice. Helen would never think of bagging Chapel or Gym, for she is al- wavs prepared in these subjects. Good luck to you, Helen, in whatever may come — success is awaiting you. Page One hundred Margaret Kf-suorthy Coatcsvillf, Pa.

Here is another product of which old SchuN ' Ikill will be proud. Claude seems to be a very ijuiet fellow, but he is always for a sociable game of pinochle. He has taught for a year before coming to .Normal, where he has spent a spring term and three years, in order to carry otf a sheepskin. He is very fond of black-eyed Susans and that little grin of his makes many a heart jump. He is a hard-work- ing student, his favorite studies being Drawing, Senior Gym and Ag. Our best wishes for a successful future, Claude. J. . RTHUR KiNLEV West Chester, Pa. Aryan J. Arthur, as he signs his name, is not unlike the knights of old toward the ladies.

There may be rocks and rapids in the stream of life, Pauline, but we know you can paddle through them all, even if you do get out and carry. Eliz. beth S. Lo.ng Bettv Ardmore, Pa.

Even though so deeply concerned, this little girl from Langhorne High School has a very sunny disposition. Maybe sleep, which she has cultivated at Normal, in- fluences this fine manner.

She has made verv good use of those opportunities, as may be known when one is told by her friends that she prefers her draw- ing to her breakfast any day, and the first rays of dawn find her faithful l ' bending over her art.

Here ' s wishing our Lena good luck! Page One hundred seven Helen I. McCarthy Asland, Pa. Moore Life icil iout longing is a dreary blank. Helen has the ambition to become an art teacher but we who are best acquainted with her know of some other ambitions. We are certain of her success in teaching but feel that she will not be benefitted by the Teachers ' Pension Fund. She has a wide range of in- terests, including camp life, and is quite an adept performer in writing cheerful messages to the soldier (s). We wonder if at the end of the war Nell will take up her permanent residence in West Chester, for she seems to like the little town well enough to do so. Mary Acnes McCloskey Johnstown, Pa. Moore This modest little maid, after graduating from Johnstown High School, attracted by the wide spread fame of Normal, decided to join our ranks in the year 1916, which decision has brought many blessings to us.

Florence is loved for her spirit of helpfulness, and her many friends know there is always a good time when she is in the crowd. Perhaps her three years sojourn in the Emerald Isle, where she jtarted school, may account for her ready wit and appreciation of humor. She delights in an argument and can always hold her own.

We are all glad she just got there, for her jolly fun and wit have filled many a moment. She spent many pleasant ( ?) hours at drawing, her favorite subject for that work being dog ' wood. In future life, Ruth will prof- it by the many philosophic consultations she had at the back room door. She hopes that the war will end soon and that her many friends will return safely. The host of friends she has made since her arrival join in wishing her the best of success for the few years she in- tends to teach. Kathleen L. Macinniss Highland Park, Pa.

We are very sure that Kitty has spent two very profitable and pleasant years here at Nor- mal, for that rogueish smile is as merry and charming as ever. She has proven herself very capable and persistent as a student in every subject but especially so in Mathematics. Science holds a sunny spot in her heart, par- ticularly electricity, and we hope she gets the Shock of her life some day. The best of luck to vou, Kitty . Page One hundred ten CjERTRUDE E.

Jane is always ready to smile or laugh, but she is also sensible and kind at the proper time. She is a graduate of Lansford High School and con- firms everything by saying Bobby Klotz said so . Jane was always up for breakfast so that she might leave for drawing immediately.

Ruth came to Normal when only thirteen, wide eyed and serious after spending one year at Binghampton High. She is now especially ac- tive in the Bonre Business Meetings and has a favorite speech which she always gi ' es when new members are received. Ruth is interested in all kinds of sports, — dancing, skating, ten- nis, basketball, and has won several honors in swimming meets. There goes the bell and I ' m not ready. I ' ll be late for class. Oh well, he ' ll mark me present, anyway; he knows I ' ll be coming along soon. Ruth E. Mei.rov White Haven, Pa. Rufus Clue Moore No, vou would never think this quiet look- ing girl could ever get into mischief, but wait till you know Rufus . Full of fun and al- wavs ready for adventure, particularly when it is in the form of a Buick — she is a full pledged member of the Railroad and Coun- try Club and has large interests in the Smoky Citv , In spite of all these duties, she tinds time to indulge in studies, for she has prom- ised to teach at least five years! We ' ll take your word for it, Rufus . Piiae One hundred thirteen Laura Jane Michener Kennett Square, Pa. Aryan Laura entered our class in the fall of 1916 after graduating from Kennett High School in the spring of that year. She brought with her the habit of attending very diligently to her studies but the Normal atmosphere soon wore it otf and she now gives more time to the study of man kind. She is very fond of going to the movies with Romance . Always jolly and always reddy for a good time applies to our small blue-eyed maiden. Gertrude A. Miles Shenandoah, Pa. Moore ll ' hal ' s the use of worryiny, When you get there just the same? Gertrude is a member of the well known Shenandoah bunch , and has helped to make 202 famous throughout third floor for the many little theatricals held there. Gert has great elocutionary abilities and has done her part in promoting the interests of the Moore Society. (Jrace S. Miller Lehighton, Pa. Cutie Skin Moore By her nickname, Skin you would natural- ly think that Grace is thin — and she was be- fore she came to Normal. Since coming into our midst, however, she has developed a ten- dency to get stout. Cutie (another name which this fair lassie has acquired since enter- ing Normal) has for her maxim All study and no sleep makes Grace a dull girl . So, living up to this, instead of dissipating her energy and overtaxing her strength to grant the rec]uests of her teachers, she spends much of her time in wooing Morpheus, where one may keep company with gods and goddesses. Cutie , whether as teacher or nurse, will go forth into the world with our best wishes for a successful career. Helen Blanche Miller Waynesboro, Pa. Aryan Helen is well known to our class as the jovial lass from above the Maryland line. Her vocabulary surpasses that of A. D. C. To but few however, has her greatest talent been re- vealed. To hear her render Maggie would attract the attention of the most exacting critics — even so a hall teacher. Whatever her future may be, it is certain to be a bright one as she has the happy faculty of making her person- ality felt in any surroundings. Page One hundred fourteen Helen M. Millincton Phoenixville, Pa. Moore Helen is a jolly companion and always in for fun. With her ready smile and sunny nature Helen has won hosts of friends since coming to Normal. Her favorite cry is What did he do in Ag? Knowing what she has done here, we have no doubt that she will accomplish her future work to the same degree of perfection; although her habit of beginning study when the lights go out makes us wonder how she pulls them through. J. Allen Minnich Begins, Pa. Moore Industry brings success. Allow me to introduce to you another product of Schuylkill County, a young and merry lad, withal of stately appearances and manly look. you can foretell he will soon be a professor. Success to you, Allen. While here at Normal, Allen had his favorite teachers and studies. He was fond of Virgil and Senior Arithmetic and occasionally went to Senior Gym. Allen was a leader in Inter-Class baseball, being captain of the Senior team. Y. M. C. A. and Varsity baseball. Helen V. Minnich Donaldson, Pa. Jiinmie Moore Helen came to us from Millersville on Janu- ary the third, 1917, and when we ask her why she left she usually says Oh, just for a change . But we are very glad she came, for her jolly remarks have dispelled !nan a frown. Won- der does Helen know what Shingles are? Her favorite classes are Arithmetic and Drawing ( ?) and I s ' pose next year we will find her teaching these subjects in the Donaldson High School. We sincerely hope that her life will be filled with a wealth of prosperity and hap- piness. S. RA E. MiNSHALL Kennett Si|uare, Pa. .A r ' a n Thou hast no j units, or I no faults can say. Sara came to Normal from Kenne tt High School in 1916 and has shown wonderful ability as a student in all her classes. She has also shown us what a sweet lo ' ing disposition does in making and holding friends, for the ' have multiplied rapidly and she retains her old ones in a surprsing way. Many of us have experi- enced those glorious and memorable week-entls on Minshall ' s farm (ask H. S. E. ) and we must wish Sara the best of good fortune in teaching. Pai e One hundred fifteen u Edith E. Mohn Dede Adamstown, Pa. Moore Here is Editli, a tall, graceful, blue eyed maiden, who came to Normal from her home town two years ago. Most any evening after four, Edith indulges in her one specialty in athletics — a walk up town with her room mate, there to indulge in Simon ' s chocolate ice cream garnished with a pretzel. The only time Edith mohn(d) was when Allen neglected to write. We ' re quite sure that Dede won ' t teach long, hut while she does or when she doesn ' t, may she have the greatest success. Wii.Li.Mvi F. Montgomery (Jlen Moore, Pa. Bill Montie Aryan Note the sedate young man who ambles about the campus. He is a graduate of East Nant- meal High School and spent several years as a successful teacher before affiliating himself with us in the fall of 1916. To those who judge on short acquaintance, Bill may seem conceited, but those who associate much with him know it for the mark of conscious leader- ship, the result of his aggressive attitude and ambitious desire to take hold of tasks that t pst rf us shirk. This quality and his altru- is ' ic spirit win friendships that but grow with time and association. Amulet Staff, Serpen- tine — Asst. Editor, Pres. Aryan Finance Comm. A. A., Corr. Sec. Y. M. C. A.

Call again. We might add that Babe ' s cheerful, even disposition has won her many friends; her class standing has been splendid and we know that well deserved success will be her reward. There is reason to doubt that she will extend her teaching over the two years which she has pledged the Commonwealth. Ei.iz.xBETH A. Morris Hatboro, Pa. Betty Aryan Elizabeth, who comes from Hatboro High School, will be remembered by her appreciative classmates for her artistic ability. H you wish to hear about the latest shows in Philly just ask Betty to get the last word as to where to go. We often wonder why so many letters come from Ithaca instead of Lawndale. Say, Betty , do you still receive those wonderful boxes of candy? Your school mates predict for you a happy future after those two years (?) of teaching. Amulet Staff.

Mae T. needs no introduction, for early in her Junior year she played her way into our hearts when Ar an chorus needed a pianist. She stepped right in and has since been the live wire of that chorus. The makings of a statesman are here, for at this early age the marks of diplomac ' are strikingly evident. Note the revision of the old quotation alxive, for this special variety of Hey grows only in the vicinity of Reading and Mae is much inter- ested in the crop. Ai.VERTA MossER Mohnton, Pa.

But you know big people are entitled to make a noise befitting their size — and have you ever heard her talk — it flows on arid on like the never ending stream. AI ' s favorite pastimes are country, clubbing, supping sundaes, and feasting upon those delightful boxes sent from home. However, this member of the class of ' 18 is an energetic worker and when it comes to pulling for a good cause and selling tickets, she is an expert saleswoman. Crace R. Mowd.w Parksburg. Pa. Aryan Cirace came to Normal after graduating from Parkesburg High School, She is a very jolly girl and always ready to enjoy a jjke, for which her Stud ' Hail friends will vouch. They would not recng ' nize her without her smile. Her greatest ambition in this line is to re- duce the world ' s banana store, and she has done persistent work in it. She is a very ex- cellent student and we know she %ill make a successful teacher. Rhera K. Mover Millersiiurg, Pa. Rhe ' ia Katherine Aryan ' take your name and address. Make way! a future comic opera star ap- pears upon the scene! To enjoy Rheba Kather- ine ' s delectable warblings to the strains of a ukelele is a musical treat never forgotten. She took care of each and everyone of her hall- mates, individually, and her nightly squelchings for the sake of her friends did not change her jolly disposition. . s Rheba goes to meet the responsibility of her own school-rnom, we trust that her pupils will catch the contagion of her sunny smile and cheerful disposition, which has capti ' ated so man of us here. (i. M. ( . Page One hundred seventeen Recina v. Moyles Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Genie Moore Roses are red, violets are blue, Regina is s-zveet and always true. This quiet, unassuming maiden hailed here in the fall of 1916, with her pleasant smile and an able, talented capacity for work. Gen- ie , as we all delight in calling her, is only- real ly knoivn by a few of us. Lots of the girls think she is quiet. But ask Miss Everett and the kids on front campus their opinion of that. Is it any wonder our bashful ( ?) maiden wants to be a Red Cross nurse? Ah! no, not when her heart is with a brown eyed laughing laddie whose picture now adorns her bed. T. Emily Myers Reading, Pa. Emply Aryan Enter our mathematician! Emply visited this planet of ours some (?) years ago and from childhood on, she has wrestled with fig- ures, not omitting pretzels — she is from Read- ing, you know. Emily ' s leisure time is usually spent in the drawing-room (art) where she satisfies her aspirations to be an artist. Plod on, Emily, you will probably succeed. Girls, if you ever receive a box of eats from home when Emily is around, beware — she never goes down to breakfast. Leota G. Newhard Northampton, Pa. Dutch Moore Alv.ays happy — never sad. Dutch came to us in 1916, bringing with h-:r a happy go lucky spirit. Her class work was always done but she still had both time .-■nd enertrv left to break the rules and the hearts of her teachers. She also loves to hear Ag discussed until she dreams that she is eating alfalfy . Although she was on the grass practically the whole of her first year, she always hoped the future would bring brighter days and we hope and know it will. Good luck in your career, Dutch . R. Hilda Norwood Nesquehoning, Pa. Spike Moore Spike , as most of us know, is very fond of flabbergasting at night and sleeping all day. She is also quite fond of ice cream, candy and — the opposite sex. To look at her you would not surmise she thought much of the folks at home but just ask the other residents in 354. She is very fond of the expression I ' ll ' Slawter ' you girls . — I wonder why? She will doubtless make good in the teaching profession if she remains in it long enough — the duration of the war may decide that. Page One hundred eighteen Cathleen M. O ' Connell West Chester, Pa. Moore As the name implies, Cathleen is a typical Irish beauty from the old county — of West Chester. She seems demure yet when those Irish eyes sparkle she ' s up to something. But lately that sparkle has diminished somewhat. The reason? The inspiration of that sparkle is far away in Camp Meade. Taking this into consideration Cathleen is quite studious and it is extremely probable that she will be a popu- lar teacher next year. Marion O ' Connor Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mac Moore Let not that quiet face deceive you. Behold! Mac is one of the jolliest girls of our class; full of fun, possessed of Irish wit; and a great fondness of criticizing. Two of her great delights are country clubbing and drawing (?). Dancing is a favorite pastime and she often laments the stringency of Nor- mal rules. She has one of the kindest of hearts but when once deceived she will never trust again. We know that her career at West Chester Normal has not been in vain and wish her success in all that she may undertake. Helen M. O ' Malley Shenandoah, Pa. Moore Happy he thy days before thee, Friend of our old school days, None kneiK thee hut to love thee. None kneii ' thee hut to praise. This fair maid nf Shenandoah, who came to us in the fall of 1916, has a sweet, lovable disposition and soon made many friends. She says she wants to be a nurse but we are con- vinced that ambition will never be realized. It is quite certain that Helen would make a good teacher if she had no other interests to ab- sorb her thought and energy, but we fear the worst ( ?) Muriel M. Park Hatboro, Pa. Merle Parky Aryan Ach mighty suren it ' s Muriel upon the scene. One glance at Muriel and you would take her for a very serious and decided young lady, but that is only the veneer, as it were, of the ologies we imbibe around here. In spite of the fact that the old effervescent youth of her shows thru quite often, she has acquired a bit of knowledge and distinction, and has the honor of being the first of her sex to have charge of Study Hall. Merle ' s favorite pastime is to take her knitting out on the campus and Jess Wile (v) her time away. We are very sorrv that Merle ' s teaching career is likely to be so short for she is one of the rare good ones that are needed. Page One hundred nineteen Ethel M. Parker West Chester, Pa. Parker Aryan Never idle, never still, Always smiling, always ivill. Parker is a Honey B . We know this because she is always working. She is also seemingly very quiet but back of this is the real Parker , who is always on hand for her share of the fun. She is fond of ponies but still enjoys a ford . Her classmates wish her the best possible success. D.WID W. P.XTTERSON Pat Haddon Heights, N. J. Arvan Just full of music — full to running over, and we certainly get our share of it. Pat is known throughout school for his ability in this line and the Senior boys are especially indebted to him for the superb harmonies rendered in Gym class. Besides being an artist in this realm he is somewhat of a philosopher and a shark in drawing (?). In spite of these bohemian qualities he is held in high esteem by all the teachers and his classmates are proud to know him. Senior baseball team. Educational Club. Emily Mae Patterson Paoli, Pa.

She is admired greatly by the (we are not supposed to say whom) because of her pleasant and winning ways. Emily is a frank, energetic girl, never giving up until she has succeeded, and we are sure she will need it to accomplish her ambition — teaching foreign languages. Ruth N. Parson Wha Harrisburg, Pa. hat a pious looking girl! Ha! just you come around at lunch time if you want to hear some noise. She is one of those who have done so much to shiver the plaster off the walls of Study Hall. After four years of High School at home, she came to us at Normal for two years of pedagogy. From the standard she has made here we know she will make good and we extend our hearty wishes to her for the future. Fai e (Jill- hundred liieiily Hester C Pauch Conshohockcii, Pa. Hess Moore God bless the man ii iu first invented sleep. But the supply is limited is Hes:er ' s senti- ment as she wearily wends her way to 7.45 class. She needs plent of it to replenish her store of energi, ' , constantly dissipated in every direction but study. She gets there in class, though, with Domestic Science and Virgil as her favorites. Hess is strong on the hall arts — dancing and eats init does her bit in the present crisis by knitting for a soldier and is prominent in Red Cross. After leaving Normal she hopes to return to her home town and uplift the community. Grace V. Peters Dallastown, Pa. Moore Eat, sleep and be merry — but the greatest of these is sleep, according to CJrace. She is a jolly little girl and iriakes up for her size by doing twice as much work. When it comes to sports in the Cjym or outdoors, (Irace is right on the spot and figured prominently on the girls ' basketball team. Her favorite (?) studies are drawing and sewing, and to settle her uncertainty as to which she prefers she does them both. We wish a successful future for you. Dorothy Peterson Haddon Heights, X. J. Dottie Dot Aryan Dot came to Normal from New Jersey, Haddon Heights to be specific . At first she ivas fast in the clutches nf a horrible case of homesickness, but recovered (piickly, due to the ministrations of the fourth fioor bunch. Her correspondence is voluminous, taking much of her time and thought, for her Spanish posses- sions require considerable attention. She tenaci- ously holds to her alloted task until she arrives at the answer. With this (|uality added to her ability, she cannot fail to make good in teaching. Margaret E. PHiiiLipj Tamaipia, Pa. Peg Big Marg Moore Now that we ' re all here, what will we do? Let ' s eat. The thin member of the Trium- virate is full of Irish wit, and Marg is always sure to be in the midst of any mischief brewing. In her Junior year she was very fond of giving suffrage speeches from the heights of the dirt boxes but this year the strain of .Ag is too great and the world ' s problems must be laid aside. We greatly fear Marg ' s teaching career is doomed to a speedy termination for she longs to embark on th sea of matrimony with the Automat next door. Our sincere wishes go with you, Marg , wherever you may journey. w Page One hundred t ' lxenly-oiie F?ACHAEL M. Pollock Downingtown, Pa. Aryan Curiosity — desire to know how and why. Rachael is one of the noted group of girls from Downingtown. She is very industrious, always going about her work in a business like way. Whether it is a habit it is difficult to say, but she goes to classes every day and has not bagged once since coming to Normal, Gym not excepted ! Her favorite pastime is singing, especially hymns — see No. 146. RoM. ' MNE E. PoRR Cochecton, Pa. Moore Friend of pleasure, wisdom ' s aid. This is Romaine, who is always Johnny on the spot to start or share in a joke. But she is also the oracle to whom we go when we get stuck in a geometry proposition or need a dic- tionarv and none is present. Romaine gradu- ated from Damascus High School in the spring of 1916 and come to Normal in the fall. She is very studious but does dislike to hear about teaching. Her highest ambition is to find a career in the business world and we wish her success and happiness in it. Mary R. Pratt Delaware City, Del.

She misses nothing — good times or bad — in for all. The last thing seen on first floor annex after lights out is Prattle ' s horns sticking out of the door of 170. She is very fond of dancing, and when it comes to studies, she likes geography so well she took an extra ( ?) course. We are very glad Mary did not stay at Dela- ■vare College, for she has kindled a warm spot in our hearts that we shall not forget. Louise M. Price Edwardsville, Pa. Wease Aryan .Ind her modest nature and quiet air, Show her as good as she is fair. Better known as Wease this bashful mem- ber of the 215 trio came to Normal from far awav Luzerne County in the fall of 1916. Her smiling eves invite friendship and her solid good nature and happy disposition has en- deared her to many of us. Fortunes have al- ways made a special appeal to her and with the wish that their prophesies of a successful career come true we leave her to destiny. I ' nge One hundred twenty-two Adolph L. Prince San Antonio, Texas Dolph Kaiser Aryan Some people think Dolph hails from Gomez Palacia, Duraugo, Mexico, hut we know that he came to us from the West Texas Military Academy, San Antonio. Dolph has been a hard working and brilliant student here but he is also a conscientious objector — to over- work — one must consult the limit of elasticity. That abstracted air is due to psychology, for there he learned the art of concentration — did you notice he is content with one girl at a time? The best of luck, Kaiser , either as a farmer or at the bar. Pres. Junior Class. Educational Club. I.EORA M. Pyle Media, Pa.

Leora is a very studious girl and her success in her classes are a just reward for her stren- uous efforts to do her re | uired tasks. We are all anxious to know whether she will take up work along the line of public speaking for Leora is quite a speechifier in spite of her shyness. Her many friends wish her merited success.

She pos- sesses sterling qualities that make her friend- ship worth while . A durned good sport — but there ' s a time for work and a time for play . Margie is a regular attendant of the fourth floor Proms after supper, this being one of her greatest enjoyments. Her favorite expression is Woorf!! which seems to come froTi the soles of her feet. Naomi Ei.i.en Redding Ridgway, Pa. Aryan Brujlit, happy and full of fun. Naomi is very industrious, always busy. When not at her studies, she is either crochet- ing or talking and there are a few things she cannot do. A common remark on her hall is Naomi, please show me to do this . She Is verv fond of apples and we wonder why she is so fond of saying Hur (Ray) ? Why the Teachers ' Pension Bill should interest her is surprising to us for we hardly think she will teach more than two years. Emii.v M. Reep Wayne, Pa.

He is a great admirer of Harry Lauder and annoys us very much by singing Oh, it ' s nice to get in bed but it ' s nicer to get up promptly when it rains in the window. Cjoiid luck to vou, Reinie .

Altho Sara is studious she is always read ' for a good time and she makes half of the life of the S.E.C. She lives on excitement and has had many narrow escapes (?).

Altho she seems (]uiet, Irma is e ' er ready for a good time. A good book is always a welcome visitor for her and nothing makes her more contented. Twenty years sounds like a life time, but Irma says she is going to teach that long, which we very much doubt. Your many friends wish you success. V. VV. C. A. Mary Rebecca Rupert Lewistown, Pa.

Judging from the number of let- ters that come from the Bell Telephone Com- pany, Mary should be quite an expert along such lines. Good luck, Mary. Page One hundred lixenty-six Anna D. Rutter Gleiinlden, Pa. Moore Anna is a good neighbor, a fine friend and an ideal chum. She doesn ' t object to a thrill, in fact she rather likes them. She is generally always in a cheerful mood and a good humor; there is something to worry her if she is not. History of Ed. is usually the snrnfl iing.

Esther ' s or Peg ' s hand surely must as she does achieve much in all handwork, and her artistic temperament is decidedly pronounced in all she undertakes. Her one ilesire is that she may become famous as an illustrator. She will undoubtedly make pood if she continues in her persistent search for the Beautiful. She real- izes that Art is power ' ' and so uses it to ad- vantage at every opportunity. Petite, jolly and witty, she makes many friends as she flits about searching for the best in all things.

Her motto is Laugh and grow fat but she is always ready to buckle down to earnest work when the occasion arises. Sara is verv fond of Mathematics and Literature but her specialty is teasing. Her greatest ambition is to attend college and specialize in Literature. We all hope this will be realized and earnestly wish her success. Margaret Scott Eddington, Pa. Aryan Another representative of Bucks County, from the country village of Eddington. She has at- tended both a graded and countrv school. Al- though a native of the Keystone State the great- er part of her past years was spent in the Black Hills of South Dakota and she has seen many of the large cities of the country. Margaret is an industrious, zealous student and certainly is a credit to our class. She intends to teach and we wish her well deserved success in her chosen profession. Page One hundred Iv -enty-eit ht Grace M. Scurry Kingston, Pa. Aryan Grace is always read ' for a good time and it is hard for anyone to get ahead of her when it comes to pla ing a joke on someone else. Her qualities of character have brought her many friends. She is a faithful worker in the Red Cross work and is learning to knit so that she can do still more to help the worthy cause. Grace wishes to take up kindergarten work after she graduates and we wish her great success in this her chosen field. Ruth A. Shepherd Chester, Pa. Rags Moore H ' liat could ive ever do ivit ioiit lierf Ruth is the only Rags that Chester High sent to Normal but we are glad that Norma! accepted Rags . In the dawn of her first en- thusiasm Ruth was quite anxious to get thru school so she could teach but from latest reports it is quite safe to say that she will follow an- other profession . Nursing is much more at- tractive now because she can take care of Little Boy Blue . Rags is quite fond of singing. She often starts dreaming and vakes her roomie by such strains as Pray for those lights to go out and Put your loving arms around me . CATHERINE L. Shie lds Chadds Ford, Pa. Moore Everyone knows of Catherine and her learned ways and her eager pursuit of knowledge. As one teacher expressed it W e always feel safe when Catherine is in the room. This young lady is never happier than when she can work out a difficult trig problem or do an experiment in Physics. She is a graduate of West Chester High School and while there was noted for her erudition and intellect also. We can hardly say with Shakespeare And stilt the m ' onder greiu, thai our small ht-iid could carry all she kneit;. Rose E. Shields Chadds Ford, Pa. Moore Energy and determination have done luonders many a time. Yes — here is Rose following fast in her sis- ter ' s footsteps. Her special aim in life is to be a mathematician and her favorite expression is Isn ' t that solid geometry easy? Rose is very much in love with her home town and she quite frequently tells us of its beauty — beauties of such a nature that she can well be proud of them. We feel sure that when she teaches she will inspire a love of home community in her pupils along with her other successes. J Page One hundred twenty-nine Anna M. Shili.ow Marietta, Pa. Moore Ann li. ' e ' re sure to meet li ' lien there ' s anything to eat. Home Sweet Home for Ann is Marietta on the banks of the Siisciuehanna. Her idea of happiness is ' Nothing to do and plenty of time to do it and her motto in Virgil is Why walk when you can ride? She has no fear of the faculty because vou see she is related to them. In spite of her happy go lucky ways we are sure that she will succeed when she becomes a mature young lady. Marian Sigafoos Pipersville, Pa. Pug Moore A dog-rose blushin ' to a brook Ain ' t modester nor snueeter. Who wouldn ' t be attracted by those beautiful big blue eyes and that modest little blush of Pug ' s ? This is her motto Don ' t worry about your work. Do what you can, let the rest go, and smile all the time. If you should happen to need Pug anytime during study hour, try all the rooms on her hall except her own. She is a lover of nature and her heart is in Four Brook Farm. Sec. Junior Class. Helen D. Slaw Bala, Pa. To practice makes perfect, so sing on. Helen is a happy, cheerful and lovable girl whose disposition is enviable and who will win a place in everyone ' s heart. She entered Normal in the fall of 1916 after graduating from Lower Merion High School. Did someone say Arith- metic? I know she loves that (??). Why we often hear her raving in her sleep 100% of the cost etpials the cost. Although we are not expecting Helen to teach very long, we certainly do wish her every success with her Tommies and Sammies . Educational Club and Girls A. A. Margaret Sloan Johnstown, Pa. Midge Moore Laugh and tlie txorld laughs ivith you. A slow walk, sparkling eyes and a hearty laugh — that ' s our Midge . Her two years at Normal will not soon be forgotten by students nor faculty. The physics lab and gym were especially dear to Midge and when she went to the swimming pool, we all looked on in amaze- ment at the bubbles. However, none of these ever interfered with her afternoon jaunt to the movies. The many Chums of Midge will follow her future and we expect great things from our blue evcd lassie. G. M. G. Page One hundred thirty Marjorie Smailes Dickson City, Pa. Midge Moore Small, but Oh my! Midge came to us from Dickson City Higli. She is very fond of movies, candy and ice-cream and most especially fond of motoring. Midge also loves to read books, but not those prescribed by the Normal curriculum. Any evening be- tween 7 and 10, you may find her absorbed in something like Which One Shall I Marry? Midge is very popular on fourth floor and is usually heard before she is seen. Neverthe- less with all her faults (?) she is good natured and will make a successful School-marm. Girls A. A. AvNA E. Smith Olyphant, Pa. . ryan We always thought you were meek and bash- ful Anna, but from the blue streaks you show now and then, we fear you are just like the rest. Besides talkitiveness Anna is afHicted with curly hair. Does she eat bread crusts, we often wonder? Should you see Anna dreaming, don ' t stop to ponder on the cause — it will surely be about G , whether it be day dreams or nightmares. Grace R. Smith Malvern, Pa. Meekness is a virtue. This young lady comes to us from Malvern, a graduate of the class of 1914. Grace is very capable and energetic but her mind incessantly wanders to George School. She always patron- izes a Malvern shoe store, too. . ' nother regular habit is awaiting the Study Hall mail on Tues- da - — there is usualh- somethin ' doin ' . Her many friends wish her all the success possible for a future teaching career. Mary L. Smith Pottstown, Pa. Aryan Full of fun and mischief, she can supply a goodly proportion of the noise in a crowd and has had a great part in keeping up the good reputation {??) of Room 113. Mary came to Normal in the fall of 1916 from North Coventry High School with a fine artistic ability, and with great difficulty adapted herself to the Nor- mal rules and regulations. Mary, we sincereK ' hope you will be successful in life and are sure that your strong determination will dfi much towards that end. Piit e Our IninJrcJ lliirty-one Mary M. Smvth Nottingham, Pa. Moore Silent but zvise. Here is Mary, one of the quietest but one of the most industrious members of our class. Hav- ing graduated at West Nottingham High School, where she made a brilliant record, she taught school a few years. Wishing to widen her field of endeavor, she decided to take a Normal course and so came to West Chester in the fall of 1916. Adele Snyder Easton, Pa. Snitz Moore ' Snitz ' has male friends galore, But she says she still hopes for more. Snitz is quite a favorite in social circles, especially when it comes to dancing, in which her card is always too small. Her great hobby is moving pictures and her friends are always sure to be well informed as to the latest and best. A math, teacher! her greatest ambition — can you picture this brown-eyed young lady ex- pounding the principles of X + =Z, etc. She is also a profound student of auto design and we find that her conclusion is that the King is the best. Well, Snitz , here ' s a wish for good luck and success in all you undertake. Edith M. Souder Newtown Square, Pa. Ickie Patty Moore After completing a very successful course at Marple-Newton High School, Ickie came to Normal with that same bouyant spirit which helped her so much at High School. Whenever you might step into CIO you find Edith there, revelling in landscapes, perspective, etc. We all know she is an artist. We have great hopes for her future because of her many ambitions, nev- ertheless, as the Book of Life is leafed over for her we hope there will be one Paige that will overshadow the joy of all the others. Bit of Sunshine , may good luck go with you and may Providence deal kindly with you always. NiT.A M. H. Sp.ancler Harrisburg, Pa. Neo Aryan This brown eyed lassie, always laughing and skipping, brought mirth and sunshine to this old Normal School when she entered. She re- ceived part of her education at Waynesboro High School and the other part at Harrisburg High and come to West Chester to finish (?) it. Her happiest hours are spent in reading the volumes which come from Dickinson Col- lege each week. We often wonder why she goes home for the week end so often ; she cer- lainly is a great Homer . Page One hundred thirty-tzuo JUANITA L. Spen ' CER Wellsboro, Pa. Nita Moore BehinJ this serene, pleasant faee, Mischief fills a goodly space. O, There are Mild ! did you s: verv few girls in the dorm who are more suc- cessful in breaking rules. At limes, she is quite Grim, especially when hiking. Docs she dance? You het she does and she is a musician as well, taking part in many Musicals. She delights in sports of any kind and has a great desire at present to learn to skate. Lessons seem to be of minor importance to her but she does make good in them. Success to the best pal one could wish for. Educational Club. Class Treasurer. Dorothy Louise Stager Allemown, Pa. Flirtatious Dot Moore Tiio broii-n eyes iiilh a womirous sparking charm. Dot is one of the representatives of Allen- town High School. A sunny disposition, a win- ning smile, dark eyes, which tell many tales, and you have her. Her winning ways have found her many friends. This is also true among the little folks which prophesies a splen- did teaching career for tlutse two years , Dot , unless that rumor about that knot tying is true. Esther R. Starr Orbisonia, Pa. Twinkle Moore One of the stars of first magnitude which twinkles when many of the lesser ones are dimmed or invisible. She loves her work and does it well, whether it be in study or hobby, and her friendship is marked in doing many good turns for others, ever dependable as a star should be. Her hobby — Jim or Jess — which it is you ' ll have to guess. Esther really likes to talk about teaching but we believe her future line will be domestic science. AcN ' ES Sterling Fallsington, Pa. Ciravy Aryan . truer, nobler, trustier heart. More loving or more loyal, never heal, Within a human breast. He loves me. Who? Dad. That ' s deep, girls, or do you think it wierd? Just a few of Agnes favorite expressions. Everyone who knows this maiden can truthfully say: She ' s a wonderful friend to have. Agnes began her happy days at Normal two years ago, after graduating from Fallsington High School. She is of a sunny temperament and her only worry in life is her avoirdupois. We won- der why she is interested in Ag but whether it be on a farm or in a school room, our best wishes go with her. Page One hunJrcil Ihir y- lhree Margaret Stetler Weatherly, Pa. Moore Tossing, tossing, heads or tails! Right side up for Margaret never fails. When in doubt, this is Margaret ' s method of solving her perplexities. Under her calm ex- terior, lies grim determination seamed with a spice of humor. Margaret is conscientious about all her school duties. She excels in Math- ematics, but how about Penmanship? Edith Stetser Hadon Heights, X. J. Ede Babes Aryan Her voice ' was gentle, soft and loiu An excellent tiling in icoman. Throw me a rose, one crimson rose the third floor annex door opens and Ede Babes appears on the scene, dishabille. Edith is al- ways a jolly good fellow and frequently stirs up trouble on third floor. Her generosity and open heartedness have won for her many friends at Normal. She is very fond of ath- letics, dancing and school sports. We don ' t know which afl ords her the greater pleasure, ambulance driving or comp. tickets to basket- ball. Her gracious geniality will be, as it has been here, an open sesame to her future success and we wish her much happiness. Naomi H. Steward Freeland, Pa. Terry Moore Terry ' s heart is full of joy Her life a shining sun And of en when her ivork is done {f) irith her Ford you may see her run! Terry ' s sweet and carefree personality has gained many friends for her and her devoted admirers are legion. She has quite a liking for country strolls and never had the good fortune of getting caught. She likes both mathe- matics and art, exhibiting much ingenuity and skill in the latter. This has given her an op- portunity to take the course at the Academy of Fine Arts, from which she derives much jo — but why? — the meaning is duplex, she takes dinner with X ( ?). Elizabeth M. Stohr Darby, Pa. Betty Moore After graduating from Darby High School, Betty entered our class in its third jear. She is a very modest maiden to whom we look for future brilliant results. Her general interest in class work is noted by all who chance to be in her classes. One of her noted charac- teristics is her determination. We are sure that she will prove true in the big things of life. Page One hundred thirty-four j nna E. Stoneback Barneston, Pa. Aryan This modest (?) little maid has had quite a aried career. She is a graduate of both Wst Nantmeal and Downingtown High Schools. For two years she taught kno vledge-hungr - (?) little cherubs and now she is engaged in completing a course in loves but cannot do a Club. Trig which she Just question. Educational Alice Studholm (Study) Studdie Wiconisco, Pa. Aryan Do others or they ivill do you! Sweet Alice came to us in the fall of ' 16 with her happy smile and sunny disposition. Alice was very studious, her favorite studies being ' irgil and Public Speaking. Her roomie was entertained with ten minute speeches a few nights liefore the fatal day. She is an active member of the Country Club and is fond of taking trips, Pottstown being a favorite. We wonder why? She entertains High (?) ideals for the future. Success be yours, sweet Alice. Sara Sunday Newport, Pa. Billy .Xryan If hill ' s in a niimi ' Billy comes to us from Newport, Rhode Island? No. not such a fashionable place, but a little hamlet in Perry County. Sara has not yet become so famous as her far distant cousin in speaking from the public platform but we all ha ' e htipes for her. She is ' erv proficient in knitting but her greatest ability lies in Do- mestic Science. From present indications and general appearance, we are sure the latter will be most useful to her. Our best wishes to you, Sara, for success in whatever you do. Florence Friednux Swartz .Mlentown, Pa. Flo Moore Flo came to us from .-Mlentown High School. She is always busy with her Art, and is always dissatisfied unless the Madam ' s opinion is passed upon everything she does. She is very conscientious about her work, es- pecially when it comes to knitting, crocheting and writing letters . She is quite fond of books, ice cream, candy — and the opposite sex. If you had known Flo the first year she spent at Normal and also associated with her this year you would wonder how a girl of her t pe could have changed in such a short while. Of course, There ' s a reason . Although she is taking a teacher ' s training course, she will more than likely enter some Art school and we wish her the best of success. Educational ■Club. Girls A. A. Page One hundred thirty-jive Veronica Sueicert Reading, Pa. Aryan Music is her greatest aim, She sings for that And not for fame. Veronica is a quiet, meditative sort of a young maid. If you ever see her gazing into space, you can rest assured that her bodv is here but her mind is with the lads she left behind . Cheer up, Veronica, but don ' t blush, for that is an indication of a guilty conscience. She is an excellent mathematician, being as well skilled in the handling of geometrical fig- ures as with the juggling of hearts. On the whole, she is a good, reliable friend and we are indeed glad to know her. Edith J. T.agcart Flemington, . J. Moore Although the metropolis from which this demure little maiden hails from is not ac- counted for on the globe, it is a very import- ant place in her estimation, for her heart is still there. Nevertheless, her mind is all here, for she has won the high esteem of all her teachers, and she has excelled the average in all her classes. Her latest ambition as we go to press is to become a Red Cross nurse. Yes, she has been really considering the proposition seriously. As in all other undertakings, we know that Edith will succeed thru her persist- ency and a keen patriotic spirit. Esther M. Teeter Johnstown, Pa. Tete Aryan Now there ' s that girl Teeter — we all have more confidence in her, because she ' s wearing a diamond. Tete is especially noted for her kindness and her good disposition. Whatever she has, Tete is always willing to lend. Her chief delight is drawing — ask her more about it. We all wish her the best of hick and hap- piness in the future. Edna M. Thoman Hatboro, Pa. Eds Aryan Just a quiet little girl from a quiet little town. But Edna can make herself heard on the halls. We delight in her squeals, which are sometimes accompanied by the strains of a mandolin. Besides these accomplishments, Edna is fond of sports, swimming and basket- ball taking the lead — no doubt you recall she was a member of the 1916 Junior girls team. She also has a decided fondness for buggy riding and motoring. Just ask her about it. Now, we reall ' don ' t like to tease vou, Edna, so we ' ll wish you the best of luck in your teach- ing (?) profession. Page One hundred thirty-six Amanda Thompson Pomeroy, Pa. Mandy Amanda graduated from the Coatesville High School with high honors and this intellectual quality has never failed her through her Nor- mal life. Her sweet, quiet way has won her many friends and her ever helping hand has gained her much admiration and gratitude in Study Hall. The best of success, Mandy. Elizabeth M. Thompson Millville, N. J. Betty Moore You ' re more ihan the earili, thoiiijli you ' re such a dot, You tun love and think end the earth cannot. Betty graduated from the Millville High School in 1915. The following year was spent in training for a nurse in the Bellevue Hospital, New York, but she was forced to give it up on account of her health. And so Betty landed in West Chester in the fall of 1916 and was soon a favorite among the students here. Her favorite expressions are Bess its ' ittle soul, its its muver ' s baby dirl and My golly! She swears she will not be an old maid even though men are scarce and we feel assured she will carry out her oath. Margaret Thompson Hazlettville, Del. Peg Moore Of countless admirers ive hear ll ' ho really hold Peggy r uite dear. A lot of noise, a hustle bustle and we know Peg is coming. Peg ' s greatest pass-time is to get into an argument with someone and she ' s sure to have the last word if it is onh ' I agree . Her sociability wins her many friends. Her greatest aim in life is to become a librarian for she loves literature. Vou can always find her reading good books, and da by day she will Groh in knowledge and wis- dom. Amulet Staff. Girls Cheer Leader. Margaret L. Tighe Pittston, Pa. Peg Tiggie Moore Self reverence, self knowledge, self control Treat others as you i:ould he treated; and yourself as you icould your best friend. A student first, last and between, a friend through thick and thin; a serious victim of Normal law, a curly head over a grin. Prompt, except when going to .Ag , and all wrapped up in Gym — all these we ' ve found our Peg to be, and as she journeys, we know, she ' ll leave her print on Pittston sands, or wherever she may go. Her chief occupation between gab and feed, is writing love letters home ( ?) — and perhaps (only guessing) a note to Camp Meade. Page One hundred thirty-seven Mary A. Timlin Ashland, Pa. Moore h ' one knew her hut to love her. This little black haired girl entered these halls of learning in the fall of 1916 after suc- cessfully completing a four year course in Ash- land High School. Mary possesses a store of magnetic influence by means of which she makes the girls sing, dance and even say their prayers. Ask anyone who roomed on fourth floor about it. It is strange how Mary seems to have a preference for Biblical names. Well — say — David, for instance. Her pet hobby was visiting rooms between seven and ten. Best wishes for success, Mary. Anna V. Tipper West Chester, Pa. Tipper Moore Her modest looks the cottaye miijht adorn, S-zveet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn. Annie does not make much noise in Study Hall but she is there with the goods . She is much interested in athletics, especially basket- ball. She is looking forward to teaching and takes much interest in preparing for it. Here ' s to her success ! S. May Tipper West Chester, Pa. Moore A pound of action is li ' orth a ton of talk. This motto gives the chief characteristic of May as well as her sister. Usually very quiet, but when she uses both action and talk there is something doing. May gets to 7.45 Physics class and as a result is considered General Information Bureau about what is going on. There is no doubt the Class of ' 18 will be proud of her. Helen C. Tomlinson North Wales, Pa. Tommy Aryan ff ' hen did morning ever break And find such beaming eyes awake? This Aryan warbler knits patriotically for the Navy League, which makes us wonder, for he is in the army. Tommy ' s interests range from art to tennis, in which latter she holds the girls ' championship. In debating she is a past-master, proof of which we have had in many foregoing events. Her hearty laugh and healthy sense of humor, added to skill in pinochle and five hundred, and the dance habit seems to point elsewhere than to teaching. ■ ' Page One hundred thirty-eight Frank Morrow Tuli.y Philadelphia, P;i. Reds Moore He maJf frifiuis hy being a friend. What would ue do vithnut TuUy? A more easy-going, happy-go-lucky lad than Reds is not to be found in the whole school. He landed here at Normal in the fall of 191+ and has made himself seen and heard and become very popular ever since, especially among the dwell- ers in the Main Huilding. He sings either sub-base or piccolo tenor in the Boys across the Campus Quartette . He has always been active in society and athletics and class affairs, and the best wishes of many friends go with him. Vice-Pres. of Moore, Sec. Boys A. A., Relay Team, Educational Club, Y. M. C. A. MuRiEi. E. Ventres Port Allegheny, Pa. .Archie Aryan Archie ' s abilities are marked — especially her artistic talent, which has secured for her the position of assistant to Miss (Jroome — a severe test. The greatest aim of her life is to appear on the Chautauqua platform. Here ' s to her success! Muriel is a good sport, fond of hikes, eats, and — well someone at Camp Sherman. Educational Club. Cabinet member of Y. W. C. A. Edith G. V. gner .Mlentown, Pa. Moore The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed. And ease of heart her very look conveyed. What is that sweet music I hear down the hall? Ah, that is Edith playing her mandolin. Not only has she an ear for music, but she is quite enthusiastic over athletics — hockey and swimming (?) in particular. Our Edith is bright and a good student hut her lessons never prevent her from snatching a few moments of repose, especially when a certain teacher calls. Seriousness forms a fitting background for her happy nature, for she is full of fun and always greets you with a smile. Len:. E. W.M.KER Coplay, Pa. Moore Xever trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. Nuf sed ! Lena follows the line of least re- sistance and believes in keeping at peace with the faculty. Her favorite study is German (?) but she excels in Public Speaking, especially when it comes to reading Scriptures. Never mind, Lena, you ma ' need this practice, for a minister ' s w ' lfe should know such things. Lena loves to knit and crochet anything that would find a place in a hope chest and we are sure they will be put to good use and we wish you .a long life to enjoy them. Page One hundred thirty-nine f J Mary M. Wallace Palmyra, N. J. Moore Mary by name, merry by nature. We can always hear Mary before we see her for she is continually singing, either for her own amusement or the entertainment of others. She is jolly and full of fun but there are many times when she is extremely serious, especially when grinding out Ag lessons plans. She is planning to travel during the summer months to get local and foreign color for her work as a teacher. Mary, where art thou going? She declares she will teach two years but after that? She carries with her the best wishes of all her classmates and friends. Nellie E. Walsh Maizeville, Pa. Moore Although not a high school graduate, Nellie came to Normal with marked aptitude for hard work and she has done remarkably well while here to finish the course in two years. Even if, from outward appearance she seems so mod- est and shy, yet that good old Irish wit of hers crops out on every appropriate occasion. Her favorite commandment is Love thy neighbor as thyself. This includes also thy neighbor ' s son, be he at home or even in far away Ohio. Emily B. Walters Plymouth, Pa. Em Aryan Desire to knoiv Hoiv ami ll ' hy — Curiosity. Cheerful, vivacious, yet withal somewhat dig- nified and serious, a better friend than Em is hard to find. She entered our ranks in the fall of 1916 to prepare for her life work. Be- sides her practicability, a character of deter- mination and perseverance is dominant. Her favorite study is drawing (?) and she excels in public speaking and debating. We would like to know her future, but Fate only smiles and refuses to divulge the secret. Hilda R. Ward Indianapolis, Ind. Moore Luck is only Pluck To try tilings over and over. This independent little person is our author- ity on educational matters. Hilda came to Nor- mal in 1914, determined to stay until handed a diploma, but ill-health compelled her to leave in December, 1916. Was she discouraged? Well, if she was, we didn ' t know it. Six months of physical training followed by a summer of outdoor life brought her back to us to swell the ranks and raise the standard of 1918. The undaunted facing of difficulties which has here won the admiration of those who know her will undoubtedly bring her success wherever she goes. ii Page One hundred forty A.vxiE Weaver West Chester, Pa. Moore Annie is a graduate of the West Chester High School and a credit to her town. She excels in most everything, whether it be Chem- istry Lab, Physics, French or Pigs is Pigs . Anne is a girl who is liked by every one. Her sweet disposition and kind ways have won her many friends at Normal, both among pupils and teachers and her future pupils are sure to love her, which is a teacher ' s finest qualifi- cation. Mlriei, Weaver Parkcsburg, Pa. Aryan To look at her you would think that Muriel was a fresh country lass. But she ' s a true society bud and that lovely color is available to all who have the price. She was Valedic- torian of Parkesburg High, Class of ' 16. She says she made it by following her motto, Don ' t talk unless called on and Ihrn you can ' t talk . A good motto and Muriel keeps it — not — espec- ially at noon. It is good practice for next year, Muriel. Rlth Margaret Webb West Chester, Pa. Aryan knov : not hy iL ' iat poiier I am made bold. Ruth graduated from West Chester High in 1916 and entered Normal in the fall. You can always tell when Ruth, or Rufus as she is sometimes called, is approaching for her melo- dious voice or some other noise announces her coming. If she ever looks cross there is some- thing radically wrong and the doctor should be summoned at once. She is quite an expert in public speaking and drawing. May her few ( ?) desires — to go to France, to go to college, and to teach a rural school — be fulfilled. Franklin E. Webster Brandywine Summit, Pa. Web Noah Moore This quiet, unassuming lad is one of our day students. He is very earnest in his work and has completed the four years ' course in three years. His favorite sports are baseball, football and skating, and his interest in the fair sex is confined to artistic appreciation of their beauty. Frank is interested in medicine and will probably migrate to the U. of Penna. to pursue that profession. Our hearty wishes for your success, Frank! Vtiqe One hundred forty-one L Virginia O. M. Werkheiser Nazareth, Pa Giny Moore IVe love her for her oivn true ' worth. Virginia is one of our most earnest workers, always striving to do the best and help others along. She shines elsewhere as she does in the class-rooms, being especially fond of athletics. She is a swimmer and one of our star basket- ball players. We are sure her achievements betoken a spirit that will carry her to success as a teacher or in any work, and the best wishes of the class go with her in her career. Florence J. Wheeler Wellsboro, Pa. Moore There ' s time for icork and time for play. Florence lives up to her motto, a capable and earnest worker and a whole-hearted fun maker. No task is too much for her, even Ag causing no complaint from her. She was quite undecided, after graduating from her home town High School, about going to college, but finally came to West Chester. Her ambition is to go to college and specialize in art. She hopes to become a teacher of drawing and pen- manship. Florence E. Whiteside Horsham, Pa. Flossie Moore Never idle a moment, hut thrifty and thought- ful of others. To Flossie we all go with our troubles and never was one of us turned away. A good jolly laugh and a pat on the shoulder has lifted many a 1918 ' er out of the mire. We never went hungry over a week end when she had been home to the farm, and her chocolate cake has long been the delight of her hallmates. When Ag is over at 11:45, the day is happy, carefree and useful to others, and we hope some day to see Flossie ' s name on the list of Who ' s Who . Mildred E. Wicks New London, Pa. Aryan Please go aivay and let me sleep. What ' s that noise in 366? It ' s only little Mildred ordering her big room mate around. And she does love to get up in the morning! She is an all round good friend and although she appears very quiet and unassuming, she possesses the power to convince people that her way is right. She excels in Mathematics and is particularly clever in Basketry. We are sure her teaching career will be successful because voungsters love teachers like Mildred.

' ho r.nits for you, my dear. Brown eyed Kitty joined our ranks in the fall of 1916 after graduation from the Central High School of Scranton. Small in stature — yes — hut the same cannot be said of her in- tellectual powers, for she has a wise and sens- ible Head . The old rule Like repel and unlikes attract still holds good, for Kit ' s specialty is Jam . Her appreciation of music is shown by the skillful manner in which she displayed her technique. Sadie L. Williams Downingtown, Pa. chatter, chatter as I scii; And in and out my needles go. Sadie graduated from Downingtown High School and makes the daily trip to West Ches- ter Normal from the noted Harmony Hill. N ' o wonder it is easy to get along with Sadie, if not in Harmony with her, you will in Harm- ony without her. We are sorry to say Sadie is not particular to studying overtime but she does keep up her work in Nature Study because she is studying a certain species of Spider . Winifred Williams Plymouth, Pa. innie Ar ' an H ' insome fi ' innie ivi h eyes of broiin, Xc ' Tcr a sigh nor nc-ver a fro-ivn. Wherever Winnie happened to be, her pleas- ant smile and kind disposition was sure to make things cheerful. Her great ambition is to be a primary teacher. We are sure she will be a great success in this work. There were few girls who had a better time at Normal than did Winnie , in spite of many stjuelchings. Part- ing brings regrets. Mary E. Wikgert Ashland, Pa. Moore Her siveet smile haunts mc still. Mary came to Normal in the fall of 1916. .■ lthough she is a very diligent student, her ready wit and unlimitable supply of humor makes her a great favorite as a ra ' eler of arns and she is always willing to entertain the girls. She is fond of literature, especially of Irving ' s works. Mary shines in all sub- jects, but she shows a marked ability for med- icine and we are sure that when she has an- nexed M.D. to her name she will make her mark in the profession recently opened to wo- men. Paqe One hundred forty-three Madeline H. Wintzer West Grove, Pa. Moore Madeline has never been known to break a rule (???) and is an honorary member of Ag and Gym . Her chief occupation is mak- ing fudge for the soldiers — we are sure her list contains only one line. Lately we have been annoyed by peculiar sounds and upon in- vestigation we find Katie singing My Bonnie Lies over the Oshun . After completing her Normal course, she expects to take a special course in Romances and Short Stories at Free- land, Pa. Here ' s to your success. M. Letitia Work Media, Pa. Tish Moore Letitia is not from the Emerald Isle yet she has the humor and repartee of an Irish lass; also wit, tact, and good looks, the requisites of a good teacher. Work, for the night is coming is her motto. If she does work, it must be during the day, for her evenings are spent otherwise. She has been very successful at Normal and we are sure it will continue when she leaves and takes up her life work, whether it be teaching many or one. Bessie L. Wright Easton, Pa. Betty Moore S ie may look innocent and yuirl, But line ix ' lien a teacher ' s out of sight. Betty has made a good many friends while here and is a wonderful roomy. She is a great little schemer and can usually find a way of getting out of scrapes. If anyone happens to have an umbrella that belongs to you, just come to Betty , and she will surely find a way to get it back. Betty ' s one great ambition is to become a teacher of stenography. Her lesser ones we will not mention, but we certainly wish vou great success, Betty , whatever you take up. Lydia T. Wright Lewisville, Pa. Ilapfiy, vivacious, gay. Fortune luill surely smile on Iter nuay. Yes, here ' s Lyddy , but don ' t let her hear vou sav it. If you don ' t know her you have missed much for she is one of the best friends a girl could have. Always ready for a good time, always ready to help in any way she can, Lvdia has become very dear to us. Although she is very fond of plaving jokes, as most of the people on second floor annex can testify, she always enjoys a joke on herself as much as the rest. She does such excellent work that we know she would make a brilliant success in the teaching profession, but Y. W. C. A. Cabinet member. Educational Club. Page One hundred forty-four Mildred E. Wright West Chester, Pa. Kid Moore IVhen you think that Wright is right. Think again, for Wright is liTong. Someone might think that these lines are fitting, but they are most inappropriate. Mil- dred is Wright now luit we hope that she won ' t always be. Our little native town girl, though iuiet, is steadfast and right up to the ininute in using her gra ' matter. She alwa ' s knows her lessons and as a teacher she is sure to con- duct her classes with the same earnestness and self-possession with vhich she has pushed into the front ranks of her class. Jli.ia R. Veacer Spring City, Pa. Jewel Aryan Sever idle, never still, AU-ays talking, talk she will. This happy, talkative, little creature came to us last year, bubbling over with mischief and enthusiasm. Between half past si. and seven Jewel always has the floor; often a wee voice is heard from the corner of the room, saying, Good Heavens, Jule, aren ' t you ever going to take a rest ? Jule ' s favorite car is a dinky little flivver . There ' s a reason! Her pet song is In a canoe with you, dear. But, sh ! her tongue has ceased some of its inces- sant prattling. Girls, she ' s dreadfully busy. Guess? Ves, knitting for someone in Georgia. Haydes B. Yoh ' Monocacy, Pa. Aryan Hayden came to Normal in the Junior year from Birdsboro High School. While here she has won the friendship of many because of her winning disposition. She is very studious being particularly fond of Physics. She is always waiting for the day to come when she can go to the Lab and perform the week ' s experiment. We do not know just what the attraction is, but there surely must be one! Her only (?) dissipation is going to the movies every Satur- day. As she intends going out to teach next fall, we wish her great success for the future. Martha C. Young Coatesville, Pa. Aryan This winsome maiden brings greetings from Skeleton Park Coatesville. After graduation from Coatesville High School in 1910, she pur- sued the life of a school marm until last year, when she came to West Chester Normal. She has made many friends during her two years stay and has been quite an earnest stu- dent. Her shining spot was Mathematics and some day we expect her to be a rival of Archi- medes. Page One hundred forty-five L_ Delilia Zimmerman Nesquehoning, Pa. Heck Lila Moore Still water runs Jeep. You may wonder what circumstances aroused this nick-name but we all know it is her favo- rite expression because when things don ' t go right she will say Oh Heck ! If the girls are planning a feast, Heck chimes in with Don ' t forget the tig Keiiions . Quiet? Well I should say not so. Look at her — well, yes — she does look somewhat reposeful, but Oh me, just stop in room 354 some night between 7 and 10. With all her faults (?) she is very stu- dious and we know she shall become a success- ful school teacher. Success to you, Delilia. Page One liunJred forty-six Page One hundred forty-seven DASiEt. S. Beaver Dan Conshohocken, Pa. Moore Dan brought lots of enthusiasm with him as well as ability and was always up with the leaders, whether in studies, athletics or good times. He had high ideals for service and success and was always willing to help another, and when he answered the call of United States and enlisted in the Ambulance Division of the Army, he carried with him the best wishes of his classmates and we pray he may go safely thru his noble work. Track Team. Vice-Pres. Moore Societv. Thomas J. Lewis Shenandoah, Pa. Bunny Moore Good things come in small paihitt fs. Bunny ' s good nature and everlasting smile endeared him to all of us and by his industry proved that short as well as tall people rise in this world. He was one of our basketball stars, being Captain of the 1916-17 team. Uncle Sam called him thru the draft in the fall of 1917. We all wish Bunny the best of luck while in the army and also when he returns after having done his part in Democratizing the world. E R Maudsi.eY Wayne County, Pa. Aryan Iloncsly is the best polity. Ezra was a day student until his Senior year, when he resided at Wayne Hall until called to service in the first draft. Wherever he is and whatever there is to do he can be depended to nut his whole energv and thought and we are sure that his record will alwavs be as ex- cellent as it was at school and his qualities will gain the respect of all. We wish him success in all his life work. Pfu e One hufuired fnrfy-nirte ANDREW WOLFANGEL Has been connected with the school in the Houschnld Department for twenty-one years. When the Assistant Steward left three years ago, he was elected by the Household Commit- tee to fill the position, and has done so very acceptably. Many improvements can be traced to his able management. Known among the .Alumni for his wonderful pastry, and previous to the erection of the present modern burglar proof storehouse, with its time lock and night watchman, the boys with a sweet tooth showed their appreciation of it by evening visits. Andrew is always interested in the welfare of the school and especially keeps his department up to a high standard. He is married and has two daughters, one being secretary to Supt. Jones and the other in the graduating class of West Chester High School. Member of the Masonic Order and several other organizatinos of West Chester. CORTLAND M. FELL Born and raised on a farm situated on the Delaware and Pennsylvania boundary line. When the Civil War began, his school teacher became lieutenant of Company E, 4th Dela- ware Volunteers, and most of the boys went with him. Mr. Fell took part in over fifty engagements but was not injured until the last engagement, at White Oak Road, near Appo- matox Court House, when he was grazed on the right side of the head. For the last four and a half years he has been night watchman of the main building and is quite popular with the girls, to most of whom he is only known as Daddy. Page One hundred fifty ntor Class litstorg XX riTDrding tlie followiiifi; historical detail, let it bo remembered that the sifriiificaiit, rather than the conspicuous, is pointed out. October tlic fourth, I ' JIG, was the day of days in the history of our class, for all great things must have a beginning. On this day, within the walls of the dear old Chapel, a heterogenous mass of humanity was gathered to organize into a class, the Class of 1918. After much discussion and parley (two meetings being necessary) officers were elected to govern the affairs of the •class. As is the custom, colors were chosen, with Orange and Black finding favor with the majority. The laurel was selected as the class flower, while ' P ach Seeking Truth by Thomas Buchanan Eeade was chosen as the motto. Our superiority over the Seniors and Specials was early and easily manifested when we won both the interclass basketball and baseball series. Though we did not finish first in the interclass indoor meet, we made it very inte resting and a tally of the points brought us in a close second. Owing to the serious labor trouble existing at the time, due to world war, and the fact that many of the boys were helping neighboring farmers in the crises, it was deemed best not to give the usual Junior play at the end of that year. This outside work prevented the boys from practising for The Crucible , which we intended to give, but all felt it was more patriotic to help increase crop pro- ductions than to stage the play. During the first week of June, we submitted to the ordeal ' ' of being per- secuted by the State Examiners. After three eatless days and three sleepless nights, the verdict of the honorable jury lirought joy to the hearts of all. The ha])i)y days of vacation passed all too quickly and we were soon back at school for the big year, but in spite of the coming work it was indeed good to see old friends. We gathered in Chapel again during the first week of Septem- ber, 1917, to elect a pilot and crew to run the organization. Mr. Adams re- ceived the highest honor and showed his executive ability throughout the year. After many days had passed, the question of a class memorial was brought forward. From several suggestions, the class gift was decided upon and con- foisted of (1) a medallion of Thomas Buchanan Roade, (2) one hundred dollars to the Red Cross, and (3) a tablet to signify the latter. Of the sad events occuring during our last year at Normal, the death of Mrs. Philips, wife of the Principal was the saddest. The Class of 1918 severely felt the Page One hundred fifty-one loss of this great woman and expressed their sympathy to Dr. Philips and family, in the form of a resolution. A committee, consisting of the President and Secretary of tlie Class, re])resented the Class at the funeral. On Saturday niorning, Feljruary second, a sleigh ride of note was taken by the Seniors (and some more). They had an enjoyable ride and had ' ' Light during the entire trip. On the nuirning of the day we departed for our Spring Vacation , an awful noise was heard in Chapel. Dr. Philips announced to the Seniors that all hopes for the annual pilgrimage to the national capitol were in vain. The great need of the country for transportation of coal and war supplies made it impossible for the railroad com])any to arrange for such excursions. All were visibly disappointed. Then again, but for tlie last time, came our final trial by the jurors of the State, the State Board Examiners. Then, ah, then, the broad sea of life con- fronted us and we were cast out upon this madly raging sea to paddle our own canoe. Thus is briefly told the history of tlie faithful. Our days are spent. We liave enjoyed, we liave endured. We have met with many, we have parted with some. We have made mistakes, we hope we have corrected them. Each class in its career achieves some distinction and brings something of honor to Old Normal . May it be said, that among those classes of greatest re- nown and distinction, in the history of this school, will be the Class of 1918. A. ROSS HOUSEAL.

(Adapted from University of Pennsylvania Hymn.) Paiji ' Our InniJred fijty-three Class Propli ry They had told me I must prohesy But I knew not what to do, For L was not born a prophet Any more than one of you. I had spent the day in study And in thinking hard and deep, I had then, all worn and weary, Lay me down and fell asleep. ' ' WAS THINKING of my classmates and wondering- just what we would be doing years from now, and how many of our hopes would be realized — when suddenly — I found myself in the most beautiful little wood. I was quite dazed for I could not remember ever having been there before. There was a gentle winding road which 1 decided to follow. As T glanced around I saw a note pinned on a tree and was sure I must be in the forest of Arden , but when I read the note, behold it was not for the fair Rosalind, it was for me, and told me to follow the path until I came to the Lake of Whipme- whopme if I would learn of my classmates of ' 18. This I did and when I ar- rived at the Lake I saw strange sights mirrored in its magic waters and heard ■distant echo voices which told me of my classmates. First I saw mirrored in the Lake our president even as today. His ambitions X I Pa( e One hundred fifty-four liad leil him onward ami upward until he had buconie governor of our own bo- loved State. The call to ministry, however, was too great and at the end of his term he had left the political for the religious field of endeavor, and was pastor of the Lenape Church. There was a little one-roomed school house in this vicinity and when I beheld the school teacher, lo, it was Helen Mary Monica Baby Doyle ! Mistress of the ideal rural school, and teaching si.xty of the young idea to shoot . The County Superintendent for this section was Dr. Evelyn Markley aiul she was using all spare time to introduce alfalfa into the country-side. Other rural school teachers hereabouts were Martha Lea, Margaret and Edith Boyd, Velyda Evans and Pris- lilla ChoChos. As this faded I caught a glimpse of a hermit in the foothills and beheld Oeorge Berger. He had become a recluse and was working on a paper for the Amulet — The Wise Use of Peanuts . Not far away was a beautiful little home called Dove Cottage . I thought that I recognized the dark-haired young matron and when she ran out to meet our old classmate J. Allen Minnick, 1 was sure 1 knew her. Mr. and Mrs. Min- uick ran hand in hand to the house, — and then my fairy picture faded. Gradually the dim outline of a theatre appeared and when at last I was able to read the posters, 1 realized that many of our class singers were on the pro- gram with the Metropolitan Opera Company. Dorothy Ebner was the recognized high soprano of the day. and with her were Lillian Aikman. Kitty ' Gallagher, V eronica Sweigert and Florence Kinnamon. They were to sing that night in an opera entitled Les Memoirs . As 1 read a bulletin on the adjoining t iilding I saw the name Norman George — Harvard ' s Coach . Harvard was leading in the athletic world since George had cast his lot among them. They had not lost a game for one whole week. A passerby seemed as much surprised as I at the bulletin and when he lowered his monacle and strolled away I saw that it was Prince Adolj)h . He sto] ped to talk to a golden haired lady whom I recognized at once as Molly Detwiler. Molly had become a naturalist and was making a valuable collection of leaves, liopiriiT to tiiid a rare species of jiarasites that she might once more own The Last Leaf . Lydia Wright, better known by her platform name of Raggylug , then came iilong. She was on a lecture tour imperson ating the characters in Krnest Thomp- son Seton ' s stories and attracting large aiuliences, both old and young. Next I found myself gazing upon a scene in Gloucester Ilarbdr. where several artists were gathered. Florence Swartz seemed to be talking so much that little work was done. She had just received the news that women in Pennsylvania had been given the right to vote. This had been brought about largely through the efforts of Lucie Barber, whom you will remember got much practice through her stump speeches at school. Associated with her in this great triumph were Doris Chandler and Jane Hall. II Page One hundred fifly-fi ' ve Among the artists gathered about Florence, Lisle McCuUum was busily paint- ing and when she jumped up at the news I saw her canvas. It was Love in a Cottage and portrayed Lisle ' s Ideal home. Lying on a fiat rock nearby was a book In Appreciation of Art by Marie Harding. I raised my head as I heard a buzzing echo and when I again looked into the lake the picture had changed and I saw, riding in an aeroplane, counting out his money — our own Chappie — who was now a successful man of atfairs. At the sametime, along the roadside, a huge machine whizzed by and in the back seat, in ease and luxury of furs and diamonds, was Ross Houseal — the much talked of Wall Street broker. Next the little town of Ox Ford was mirrored for me and I saw Dorothy Gernovich hurrying by on her way to Ox Ford school where Dora was head teacher of Matiiematics, assisted by Mary Timlin. They had just succeeded in introducing into the school a new book, How to Get Out of Working Arithmetic Problems ' ' by Berenice Dunn. Helen Slaw, who had just returned from Hawaii, was instructor in foreign languages there. I then found myself in a theatre, holding in my hand a program for Oft in the Future Years written by Walter Dougherty. Bert Brunner, as Jacque Amour (the Ladies ' man), played the leading role and was supported by the following eminent company : — Percy Knowitall (the lover) William Beacham Betty Nevertalk (the bluffer) Elizabeth Head Jack Evertalk (the artist) Harvey Hoffman Bobby Knowitall (the heart breaker) Linneaus Detwiler Mr. Manly (the woman hater) Albert Dotter Miss Unome (the peroxide blonde) Florence Budde Miss Mary LTnome (the professional fiirt) Anna Bonsall Aunt Priscilla (the old maid) Margaret Thompson Anabelle Afterwhile (the dreamer) Pauline Locuson Grace Grimme (the Grim old lady) Juanita Spencer Louise Upstart (the adventuress) Lenore Hughes Mile. Tibbie (the artist) . Muriel Ventres Ruth Kline was to .sing My dear old Rock of Ages . Mae Moser came run- ning up just tlien. The accompanist, Edith Burleigh, had been called away and Mae, as iisual. liad volunteered her assistance at the very last minute — the same old Mae. As we were leaving the theatre after the performance was ended, a procession led by a band moved down the street. I beheld General Daniel Beaver and Colonel Ezra Maudsley. They had become great leaders in the world war and had returned to America to lecture during their furloughs. With them were Marian Sigafoos. Helen Mack and Mildred Jones, who had become Red Cross nurses. Mid .seemed greatly absorbed in a picture which she wore on her watch. Rae Hamilton was there too but her work was in American camps. Lidie Johnson had been singing in the trenches and was still in France. For further information see G. F. Page One hundred fifty-six This picture faded and othur visions were mirrored in the hike. 1 saw JIarv Pratt, wlio had succeeded, after many years of hard work, in inventing a hair curler which heautifies the wearer. This hore no resemblance whatever to the hornlike kind once worn by Prattie and it was netting her hirge profits. Amy Griffiith was a successful journalist and editor of the Daily Local News of We rt Chester. Marjorie Alexander was a great dancer and was projirictrcss of the Lenape Beauty Shop. Mary Johnson had become a successful dairywoman in the iliddle West. Claire Rahn. who shortly after graduation had gotten Skinney ' ' , was living in Cape May, New Jersey. Kathleen Maginniss had gone to Bryn JIawr College after graduating from Normal and was now the successful leader of a Corn Club in Philadelphia. Dorothy Peterson was living in an old Spanish mansion in Mexico. Pearl Hurtnctt was studying Mathemati ' s at the University of Pennsylvania. Mattie had become a lawyer with .several degrees to his name, such as S.H., L.M. He was busily engaged with his latest case . Ruth Meaker was his pri- vate secretary. The next scene was nmch confused. A country store, two old farmers, one with a corn-cob pipe. I did not recognize them at all until I heard the one with the pipe say. during a heated argument — I wouldn ' t let a little thing like that worrv me — and don ' t let him get the best of you . I knew at once that it was Abe . Last but not least I saw mirrored in the Fairy Lake our own beloved Alma Jlater. with Dr. William Montgomery, B.B., M.N. , M.C.A., M.S.F., as its head, lie ol)tained this noble position from the vast amount of knowledge stored up while at Normal School. I was much surprised however, to hear him say to some students, Get permission I Get permission I lie then turned to continue a heat- ed discussion with Senator Linderman, on Whether the Country Club should be a State Institution. Luke had just returned from the Senate where he had acquired, much information on the subject. Gene Brady passed and 1 learned that he had become West Chester ' s Steward. He had a masterly manner and seemed to run things very well. Hepz Collins was head of the Public Speaking Department and was lec- turing on How to Amuse the Girls on Your Hall during Study Hour. The lecture was made more interesting by various impersonations. Ruth Dunn was assistant in English. Lorene Martin and ilargaret Phillips in Ag . Peg Phillips was preparing rations for West Chester ' s pigs and Lorene was working out a score card to be used in judging No. 9. Paffe One Innulrrd ffly-seveii The western side of Recitation Hall was badly damaged and I found that Reinbold, with his curious mind, who had become a great scientist, had per- formed a dangerous experiment and blown up the Lab . Mr. R. has not been seen for several weeks but a dark spot on Mars seems to account for his present whereabouts. Suddenly I heard a terrible honk-honk and saw Jack Latshaw in a modern Ford. He had had a puncture and was fast losing his patience, when along came Tully — a friend indeed . I heard Jack tell Tully that he had sold over one thousand Fords that day. The puncture was soon righted — the honk-honk began — and suddenly I awakened. So you see, dear friends and classmates. That ' twas nothing but a dream I ' ve been telling, howe ' er natural And real it to you must seem; But in this old world of wonders, Dreams have often times come true, So, who knows but this, my vision, May be realized by you? Assisted by W. F. M. CLARA C. LOCKE, Prophetess. ONE BUTTON SHY. Jennie Douglass was trying to teach the fundamental princi] les of the Declara- tion of Independence. To make her idea clear, she gave each child three but- tons, one for life, one for liberty and other for the pursuit of happiness. Several days later she asked James to produce his buttons and tell what they represented. I can ' t. Miss Douglas, was the confused response, I haven ' t got them. Where are they? Jennie demanded severely. Here ' s life, and here ' s liberty, but mother sewed the pursuit of happiness on my pants. ONCE EVERY WEEK. Has anyone seen Dorothy Ebner? Where docs Dorothy Ebner room? ' ' Three doors down. Miss Hardee. One — two — three — (counting slowly, then knocking on the third). Ah, now I shall remember ! UP TO THE STUDENT COUNCIL. Whenever Professor Light suggested removing his beard and mustache, there was a division of family opinion. One morning he appeared before the Student Council with razor in hand and his right lip shaved .smooth. How do you like it, boys? he asked. If you think it looks well, I will shave the other side too. Page One liiindrcd fijty-eiglit o y. Payc One liunJreJ fijly-nine or lass of 1019 OFFICERS. President ....

Upon their arrival, i-lassinatcs iniiiiediately beianio arquaiiited with one another and one by one learned to know the instructors, each of whom informed us that his or her subject was the most important in the course. Prof. Light is escorting us through the mysterious realms of Chemistry and we are passing through the old ordeal of Laboratory, which takes a great deal of time from the Movies . Then in Zoology it is ' ' bugs and worms and snakes and toads and mice . In Literature we are introduced right and left to those who spilled ink so worthily, while under the direction of Miss Martin we daily ap- jiroximate accuracy. Psychology teaches us to know ourselves, but it remains for Methods to show us how to manage others. In Latin Class we learn to feel the power of Cicero as an orator, while in History we live again in past ages. We believe that our note-book in Physiology deserves a place in history, but, dear reader, do not suppose that the note-book business stops there. It doesn ' t; they are always ? with us. This year we have also seen stars. Extreme modesty prevents the writer from giving undue praise to the in- tellectual and athletic ability of the class. In spite of our opinion on the sub- ject it might not be quite wise to say too much about the former until the visit of the State Board ' , an occasion that one of our worthy teacliers does not allow us to forget. In athletics we can speak with more assurance and many are the honors that the girls and boys have received in this work. We have also con- tril)uted to the programs of the Literary Societies. Under the direction of our able officers and a committee, tlie play given by the third vear class is expected to equal, if not surpass, former attempts of this kind. As the end of the year approaches we feel glad that we can say nothing tragic or near-tragic has happened to us. However, as we approach the time when we shall be Seniors, we realize more and more what the friendship of the pres- ent Seniors has meant to us and what tlieir presence has added to the life of the school. We sincerely hope that we shall acquit ourselves so that our passing will be regretted in like manner by those who follow us. CLARA E. CUMMIN GS, ' 19.

The work lias steadily grown year after year. This year more than ever we realize the importance of this great work. The preparation for the Association duties began at the Eagles Mere Con- ference. Eight girls, with Miss Alice jMcLees as chaperon, spent ten delightful and profitable days at one of nature ' s ideal spots. Eagles Mere. Here it was our privilege to receive instruction from religious workers of wide experience. The Membership Committee rendered a most helpful service during the sum- mer by writing to the new girls and welcoming them to the school. Then on the first day of school the Y. W. C. A. girls were ready and willing to help the new girls in any way. On Friday afternoon of the first week a reception was given in the Gymnasium. The girls quiekly responded to the spirit of the event and received the new girls as old friends. The business affairs of the Association are transacted mostly by the Cabinet. This consists of four oflicers and the heads of the following committees: De- votional, Bible Study, Mission Study, Membership, Finance, Social, Social Serv- ice. Music, Missionary Giving and Information. The Cabinet meets once a month. The Advisory Board, composed of faculty members and wives of faculty mem- bers, is sometimes present at these meetings to assist and advise. Business matters iif special importance are brought before the whole Association. Our Bible Study w ' ork was led by twelve student teachers and one faculty member. Every week the student teachers meet under the instruction of Jlrs. F. n. Starkey. This study was followed by that of Missions. These classes, led by grouj)s of girls and Mrs. A. T. Smith, proved to be very interesting, and were attended by two hundred girls. In connection with the Missions Work an Eight Week Club, under the leadership of Prof. A. D. Cromwell, was successfully organized. The Missionary Committee presented a program every month upon some phaso nf the Mission Work. Some of our most interesting speakers were: Elizabeth Stedman, Mrs. J. Filkner, Mrs. H. W. Smith and Dr. Lesher. The Missionary Giving Committee organized the systematic giving for Foreign Missions. This money was used largely for the support of Miss Irene Shepherd, our missioiuiry in South America. This year the war work was emphasized. Under the direction of Miss Elsie 0. Bull, the students and faculty contributed -$325 for the support of Y. W. C. A. work in the war. The students responded nobly to this call. Very nuich of spiritual work was accomplished by the Devotional Committee. Many of our interesting meetings have been student meetings, others by noted speakers. We are glad to mention the following among our list of speakers: Grace L. IT. Lutz, Dr. Tbeo. Ileyshani, Dr. Adams, Rev. Samuel Craig. The Suiulay evening meetings are held jointly with the Y. M. C. A. Paijf Ottf iititjrj ' j sixty-rii ir The Social Service Committee emphasized the word service. This work con- jiisted chiefly in sendiiif; flowers to the sick, workiiii; at the Juvenile Home, and donating money and time to different worthy causes. Among the social events of the year was a Poverty Party. The students and faculty members entered into the spirit of the affair and it was a great success. The Information Committee brought before the Association any new phase of work. This year the Patriotic League was emphasized. One hundred girls pledged themselves as workers in this great cause. Much of the success and ])leasure derived from our meetings was made possible through the efforts of the Music Committee. This band of workers furnished music for all our meetings. The Finance Committee has charge of the financial affairs of the Association. This Committee devised various ways to make possible the Eagles More trip. We have had a full and hajipy, earnest year and wish the same measure of ■success for the Association work in the years to come. May the stan(birds of the blue and white be upheld by its future members. M. EVELYN MARKLEY. Page One hundTfA seventy Page One hundred seventy-one OFFICERS. President J)r. F. H.

Page One hiiuJrcd se-veniy-t io 1. m. or. A. On OctoliL ' T Kith, 181)0, our Young Men ' s Christian Association was organized under the ahle leadership of Dr. F. H. Green, who has since that time successfully piloted the endeavors of the Association in its spiritual work for the welfare of the young men. The Y. M. C. A. work has come into greater prominence this year than ever before, by the universal acknowledgment of the great work performed for the boys in camp and trench. As the work is having an uplifting influence on the boys in camp preparatory to fighting the good fight over there, so it has helped us here in our preparation for the supreme duty, that of living a noble life. In the letters received from boys in camp, who were connected with the Y. M. C. A. while students here, we are told of the soldiers ' own impressions of the Y. M. C. A. work, of the good it is accomplishing, of the wholesome environment it is placing around the camps, and of the opportunity it affords the men to spend their spare moments in a wholesome inspiring atmosphere of service for the good of all. Here in West Chester, at the Y. M. C. A. room in ' ayne Hall, regular meet- ings of the Association are held every Thursday evening throughout the year. On Sunday evenings the meetings are held jointly with the Y. W. C. A. in the school chapel. At these meetings the members have the opportunity of hearing some of the best theological s])eakers of the country. This year we were favored by the presence of Edwin Markhani on the platform, among the many excellent speakers that have been secured through the untiring eft ' orts of Dr. (Jreen. May we ever be guided by our motto: Quit ye like men, be strong and as we journey through life may the memory of our circle of Christian fellowship lead us onward to nobler things. Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love. WALTEK E. DOUGHERTY. Patfe One hundrfd seveniy-t n What a notable occasion it is when our dignified faculty elect to give a play! Twice have tliey been moved to such an effort this year, each time their impelling motive to swell the Red Cross fund. But underneath it all, we are sure was the desire to prove tliat even an august body like our Faculty has a sense of humor. On Dec. T, the student body packed the Auditorium to see Lady Gregory ' s Irish comedy, Spreading the News. The costumes alone were enough to set the audi- ence in an uproar. Then, before we had time to rightly recover from that un- raveling of gossip, the Gentle Jury appeared, but this time looking quite natural. Needless to say, this play as well as the fir.st one, met with a roar of approval as our erstwhile serious teachers applied themselves to the delicate task of settling a breach of promise suit. Again in May, The Ladies of Cranford made a brief but enjoyable visit to the Normal and the quaint cliarm of the mid-Victorian ladies was very gratifying to those who had the pleasure of meeting them. Not alone have their plays afforded us amusement, but the Eed Cross richer by $180 after the first plays and the Cran- ford ladies added $150 to the fund.

Coulil a better motto or standard i)o found wliicli would more fully harinonizo witli the thought involved in our regal colors — the blue and the gold? Loyalty, truth and honor have gone far in the bettering of the society. Each has striven to do his best towards the accoiu|)lishnient of the worthy goal set in ])revious years. We hope that in some measure, great or small, some of the purposes for wbi -h the society was founded — literary training, music, art might lie accomplished, has been carried to fulfillment. On 8e])t. ].5, 1917, we o])ened our year with a one-act farce calle(l ' t ' liiinis. ' ' The cast was well-chosen and exccjitionally acted: Mr. Breed, a A ' crmont squire V. Ross llouseal Harry Breed, his son Abram Ciroh Tom Burnham David Patterson Flora Strong lary Pratt Mrs. Breed Esther Teeter The fostering of any dramatic talent, which may exist in the ranks of Aryan members, is given careful attention. Each year the society gives several little sketches and short plays and everyone looks forward to their presentation. Exceptional talent has been shown in the musical line. Singers, ])ianists, violinists, — all were there to help make up the high standard that our meetings have shown this year, throughout the year, the meetings being very good. A new ad- junct to the society this year is the Aryan Jazz Orchestra, which was very heartily received. It was composed of numdolins guitar and violins, and their playing certaiidy jiut the dance feeling into us. Let us hope that this fine musical work continues. This year more interest in debating has been shown than ever before, — per- haps a little because of compulsion but more likely from personal interest. The debates have been good this year, aiul the material so good that it was rather a hard matter to narrow down all the contestants until the final debating team was chosen. We debated this year with the Page Society of the Jfillersville State Normal aiul the speeches of both sides were excellent. The question — Resolved : — That universal military training for boys should be substituted for the present .system of athletics in our schools, — is one which is fraught with much interest to the jiublic at this time of crisis in American afl ' air.s. The great war being waged in Europe bears vitally on the question. Our debaters were: — William Montgomery, Emily Walters, and Abram Groh. They upheld most ably the un- po])ular negative side and won for the society the favorable decision of the judges, two to one. The Aryan members of the cla.ss of ' 18. in passing from among the ranks of active Aryan members, wish the society in the future great ])ros|ierity and ba]i- piiies.s. Our bodies may be elsewhere, but our spirits will frequently recur to the good times in the .Aryan society. MAE T. MOSER. Page One niiiJnJ lujhly-iiiir r Ai:vA. Deisatin ' g Team. AliVAX OliATORS.

Page One hundred eighty-three IBIB iE ctur Course Tlie thirtietli annual course of the Normal Sfhool lectures opened on Friday evening, January 11, 1918, with a lecture on Our Changed Relations to the World , by Hon. Wni. H. Taft. The lecture was a resume of the war conditions and was enjoyed by all, the attendance at this lecture l)eing the best for many years. The speaker ' s characteristic chuckle was prominently present and quite contagious. The next number was given on Friday, January 18, again touching the world situation, when John Masefield, hailed as England ' s foremost poet, spoke on The War and the Future . His own experiences and observations in the con- flict as one of England ' s soldiers were told in a manner to hold the interested at- tention of all. At the end of the lecture, he responded to the ninny requests of his admirers and recited several of his own poems. The musical treat of the course, the well-known Thaddeus Rich Quartette, performed on Friday, February 1. This is a quartette from the famous Phila- delphia Orchestra, led by Mr. Rich, one of the foremost players of that orchestra. They were accompanied l)y Miss May Farley, a noted soprano soloist, wlio ren- dered some pleasing numbers. On Saturday, February !), the Hon. AVellington Koo, the Chinese ambassador to America, lectured to us on China and the War . Mr. Koo is a graduate of Columbia University and speaks English very fluently. His talk gave us some very interesting facts about China and her place iind interest in the present European war. Our scheduled speaker for Friday, February 15. I). Thomas Curtin, was un- able to return from Europe, where he is a war correspondent. In his place. Dr. Earl Downer, a noted surgeon, gave us a vivid account of the conditions in Russia during the revolution. He sojourned in the palace at Petrograd while attending the son of the Czar and his account, interesting enough Itecause of his first hand observations, was amply illustrated by graphic colored slides. The audience seemed to be carried right into the midst of the sceiu s, so clear were the words ami pictures. The lecture course as a whole was a very successful one. Naturally the topic of universal interest was taken by all the speakers, all touching the war in some one of its many phases. The messages given were timely and interesting, so much more so now that our country is pushing on to take a larger place in the strug- gle, and the audience could not helj) liut benefit by an exposition of other views of the situation we face. BERTRAM BRUNNER. Pat e One hundred eigljly-ftiur i h Cross Work at formal rlfool The lied (. ' ross Relief Society of our Normal School, orj aiuzed in October, 1916, has had a most successful and busy year during 19K-11U8. Under the combined efforts of Miss McCarthy, Miss Everett and Miss C ' ropsey, as well as other earnest workers of the Facidty, the Auxiliary has developed in every di- rection. The students from each class have turned out very well at the Wednesday and Saturday meetings, while the teachers and help have met on Monday and Thursday evening.?, respectively. During .spring term, everyone has worked with unequaled zest in their new white aprons, and the work rooms are imleed a pretty sight. December was a very busy month for the organization. Christmas letters ■were written and sent to all of our former students in military or hospital serv- ice and Miss Foley ' s hall sent a package of clothing to rtouniania, which was kindly acknowledged by the Queen. The girls of Miss McCarthy ' s hall pushed the drive for members of the National Eed Cross Society and approximately three hundred and seventy-six new members were enrolled. On December seventh, two ])lays were given by members of the Faculty under Ihe able direction of Miss Everett — Spreading the News ami ' ' The (lentlo Jury , both very enjoyable comedies. On April twenty-sixth, the same troupe rendered Cranford to open the Spring Drive. On May twelfth, Ked Cross tags were sold, which netted a nice sum, and during the same month Miss Cochran gave a very unique Book Reception in the Library. Naturally the needs of the boys across the water occujiied most of our at- tention. In addition to about forty-five thousand .surgical dressings, eighty-four sweaters, four jiairs of wristlets and eighty-nine pairs of socks have been sent to ' ' our boys . ' I ' hc efforts of both teachers and students are gratefully appreciated : and it is the wish of the graduating class that this worthy Auxiliary will continue to grow in numbers and usefulness.

This course, by Prof. Eoorbach, was advertised as a sure cure for sleepless ■nights that might occur wheu we become pedagogues. With grand expectations of the wonders to be revealed to us, wo in goodly numbers began our geographical journey. First in the mountains of Kentucky, where our interest was stimulated to a white heat, because we were discovering why people were as they were and now our scholarly pilot, always determined to pour forth abundance of knowledge, in some mysterious way quickly transports us .across the Atlantic to the plains of Jiidea and thence back to the hills of Scot- land, stopping long enough to test the Scotch whiskey. Xow we delve into the realm of Geology and here our unbounded interest livides, sitting in blank astonishment at the amount of Geological and Geograph- ical terms poured on our heads. But our instructor has met barriers before and not to be outdone by these, he continues on his journeys, now through the ■climates and industries ; we learn of iron, of steel mills, and collars and cuffs, and so our journeys continue. At times the tranquillity of our travels was dis- turbed by the ravings of Miss S. but otherwise we journeyed safely around the world, landing safely in West Chester again, only to be rudely shocked by the iinnouncement that we would have a lengthy examination on our travels. Then how did we dig up the diaries we had made on the way. At last the fatal eve arrived and the party of gloomy tourists assembled. The •exam was stiff and searching, the instructor grim and alert. Xo one is allowed to converse with his neighbor, but after two weary hours of attempting to recount ■our experiences we emerge weary and travel— stained, but happy that we had been on such an extensive journey. WILLI.VM V. : IOXTGOMERY. CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE. Have there ever been two hours devoted more cheerfully and profitably to the pursuit of knowledge than those given every week by ninety people to the University course in Contemporary Literature? This is the third course that Pat e One hundred eighty-six I r. (u ' ciriTr William McClcllaml luis Lrixcii in the West Cliester State Normal clin(il, aiiil. as always hcfore. lie has had a lar re class. It is not the literature alone that has made these hours never to be forgotten ■ones, in which we learn about these men and women who are writing not for a dim and uncertain future, but for us, but the medium through which wc gleaned our inspiration. Dr. MeClenand. The great names in i iesent day liter- ature in England and America; Alfred Noyes, Arthur Christopher Benson, John Masefield, Thomas Hardy, Robert Frost, as well as the free verse enthusiast. Amy Lowell, and many, many others, we know through the deeper and keener insight of Dr. JlcClelland. The ])hilosopher, the artist, and the chronicler of life have all become familiar to us. He has made them real and living beings with great hearts and great life experiences. Trvhaps the poet stands out most prominently in our minds, for Dr. McClel- land is so much of the poet himself ami so sympathetic in his reading and inter- pretation of ])oetry. We have be ' n highly entertained by Yachel Lindsay ' s Congo, with its Boom I Boom I Boom I and entranced by the music, melodv and mooidight of Alfred Noyes. A ' e can oidy hope that the incoming stiulents may have the same opportunity 1hat we have had, and that Dr. ilcClelland will be in West Chester next year to give them tlie same ins]iiratioii that we received. ADOLPH L. PinXCE. MATHEMATICS. Before the entrance of Recitation Hall, a small group of the Analytical jeometry Club, wearing grave faces, can be seen waiting the arrival of Dr. Hal- lett. Soon after his arrival, who can be seen walking across the campus but Mr. Light, the cry man upon whom the whole Club is waiting. Assembling in - ' i, the Club imniediali ' ly is called to order l.iy the lall and «tately Doctor. Some of our number are never capable of answering to the roll call, but at about 7 :15 the stragglers can be heard in the hall. However, be- fore any serious business can be carried on. Dr. Hallett obtains the minutes front Miss McG. Then the talent of the club is manifested, by some in their attempt to show the director what they have learned and by others in concealing what they do not know, the latter being the more floitrishing art acquired. However, the A. G. ' s are favored with a few talented members, upon whom the success of the Club largely depends. After a discussion of the minutes of the previous meeting, the eyes of the lirector can be seen to wander over the group before him; suddenly his eyes be- Page One hundred ei(ility-.u ' ven come iinusuiilly lirii;lit iuul it is well kiidwn thru iluit a certain Mr. S. will be given an opportunity to show liis al)ility, which is always done in a most con- vincing manner. After the explanation a small, timid Miss D. can be heard to say I don ' t understand that and Dr. IT. immediately begins a lengthy discus- sion and the Club members can be seen shortly endeavoring to stifle yawns and prop up heavy eyelids. Straight lines and circles, parabolas and ellipses, hyperboles and conies, equa- tions, and co-ordinates, axes and radius rectors, but the puzzle of puzzles was the equation of asymptotes. One of the A. G. ' s was capable of solving the puzzle for us, so whenever we had another to solve we were always certain to hear: Ir. U., yon can do this, you made 80 in the examination. Examinations ! Ah, yes, that is the puzzle for the A. G. ' s and although the preliminaries are over, the finals are looming over the horizon, as a dark cloud on a clear day, and umbrellas arc not always storm proof. LUTHER L. LINDERMAX. WILLIAM W. BEACHAM. THE SHORT STORY COURSE. The lack of a course in English Composition for Seniors has been a source of regret to many students who are fond of writing and especially eager for instruction and practice along that line. Although our one day a week for this type of work in Dr. Green ' s classes often finds us uninspired and out of tune, nevertheless it gives us some chance to find out our capabilities and possibilities, and now that Ur. Childs of the University of Pennsylvania is conducting a half year short story course here, the would-be writers rejoice. Other English courses given by the L ' niversity have made us feel at home with, not only the great writers whose worth has been assured by long endurance and popularity but also our present-day English and American poets, novelists, and essayists. Th is wc had a good foundation upon which to begin our work with Dr. Childs. At his first lecture he made very dear his plans for the complete course, and aimed to cover the mechanics of the short story, not only to make us better ac- quainted with that phase of the art but to build up appreciation of technique as a foundation for the telling of stories, which followed. Myths have been given much consideration ; in fact, some of the members of the class come to the con- clusion that, while Dr. Childs seems to be very practical minded and concrptc, he reveals a tendency to favor fairy-talcs and others of the more imaginary ty]ie of story. Pai r Our liuiijriil eit hly-eiijlil Twflftli cfiitiiry writing embodies imieh of the work but unrestrained atten- tion has been ;:i fn the modern sliort stories, sneh as those of 0. Henry and Kip- ling. Tlie greater ]iart nf this inspiring eonrse is given to tlie eneourageinent of our humble efforts. Dr. Chiids has. frecpicntly expressed liis eonviction that there is sure to be at least one ]ioet aiudiig us. and. imleed he has discovered one charming fairy-tall ' writer. .Much of tlie eu ' duragcrnent we receive as we go thru school is but vague and abstract, leavinir i-- in midair witli our ideals. But Dr. Chiids eomes right down to solid facts of iiriirmation and builds upon these. A chance visitor entering the lecture room during any (Hie of his talks might wonder if this was, indeed, a story cour. e, for the instructor talks about anything from good eats — oh. simjdy delicious. — to Shakespeare. We who are regular members, however, know that every subject discussed is brought in for some direct ])urpose. Atmosphere we know, plays an important jiart in forming mental attitude. Dr. Chiids delights in talking about Cinderella and va given us some pointers in detecting similarity lii ' twecn this and other fairy stories. He favors the movie ' and has instructed us in some of its technique as well as some screen stunts . lie regards the motion picture as in its infancy, with great prospects for the future.

Frequent were the discussions on religion, introduced among the variety of siTbjects offered for our consumption. I lis remarks on the religious people were- often very humorous, — at least he told us that some escaped Pluto ' s Under- world oidy by the skin of their teeth , or that the Pre.«byterians say: We are the elect, the chosen few, Let all the rest be damned : There ' s room enuf in hell for you, We don ' t want heaven crammed. Professor Howland didn ' t give a whoop if we failed to become enlightened on the home and foreign policy as well as the economic, religious and political development of England. We in our voyage possessed normal health conditions, so that it was our own fault if we failed to drink from the stream of knowledge and nnderstanding beside which we found ourselves at regular intervals, and breathe the purifying air of proper historical interpretations.

Both classmates and guests having lieen received by Dr. Philips, Miss Speak- nian. Miss Goshen and Miss Baldwin, the grand niarcli began. Led by George and Mai-tba Washington, John Adams and wife (the class officers ' ) and other historical characters, including lary Wasliington, Uncle Sam, and the (ioddess of Liiierty. Benjamin Franklin and Betsy Eoss, proceeding to the strains of music rendered by the (School r)rchestra, they moved to the north reading room, where the ushers, tea girls and others joined the i)rocession, which then marched up the open stairway and around the gallery. Then followed the Minuet, in which the girls in their powder and laces and the boys in satin knee breeches presented a quaint picture of beauty and grace. A most interesting feature of the afternoon was a demonstration in the weav- ing of cloth, given by Mrs. Brown, on a spinning wheel of Eevolutionary times, and using fla.K grown during the Civil War times. The next chief point of interest proved to be the south reading room, with its decorative scheme of Orange and Black, where the guests were served with tea and cakes by tiie girls and boys, who were costumed to correspond with the occa- sion. Supper time arrived all too soon and we were regretfully obliged to depart. alvp:rta e. mosser. Pape One hundred ninety six Page One IniiutreJ nnifty-seven ®itr I tgl mh When the first heavy snowstorm had passed our way and piled the roads up with a blanket nine to ten inches deep, the Seniors rejoiced in the hope that the annual sleigh ride, so long looked forward to, might be consumated. But, alas ! we were doomed to several disappointments, above all it was im- possible to arrange a time suitable to all and so the trip was postponed until after tlie Xmas holidays. Providence was kind to us, however, and a grand storm at the end of Janu- ary put the roads in good condition and all arrangements were made. The event- ful day, February second, was ideal for the occasion — clear, crisp and bright. The sleighs were at the main entrance at 8 A. M. and in a short time were filled to overflowing with a laughing crowd, about sixty in all having crowded into the three sleighs. They all vented their good spirits in lusty cheers as they started off. Gay songs and laughing jests passed from sleigli to sleigh, the greatest delight being that of teasing the ' cases . Professor Light and Jane Eahn chaperoned the party and both joined heartily in the fun. The fudge, which some of the girls had industriously made, and Prof. Light ' s chicken feed ' ' were thoroly en- joyed, judging from the way they disappeared. Malvern was our destination, where the sleighs were rapidly emptied as every- one searched for more eats , and the majority were successful. Soon afterwards we started on the homeward journey, whicli was quite as pleasant as the ride over. The echoes of the dinner bell were sounding as we reached school and we did full justice to that meal, even tho it was sauerkraut and dogs . From all reports the ride was thoroly enjoyed and the Second of February has become one of ISrormal ' s Eed Letter Days to all who joined in the sport. EDITH BOYD.

We are especially proud of our showing in the Indian game, wliich was their first defeat of the season after playing many college teams, also of our two victories against Millersville which atones for our defeat last season. The team was practically a self-made machine, but at the latter part of the season we were fortunate in securing Lew lliller of Philadelphia to act as coach for the rest of the season. The team is irost thankful for the su];i]iort of the student body, which was exceptionally good, and the student Ixidy is proud of its team be- cause of the excellent record it lias made.

We return again to the hasehall season with six good players from last year ' s successful Varsity squad and with sufficient new material to form a Varsity bet- ter than ever. Being without the services of a coach this year, the task of selecting a win- ning team has fallen upon the shoulders of Manager Light and Captain George. Both were well pleased when the call for candidates in the Spring brought out about thirty aspirants for a place on the nine. We are sure our opponents will find it rather difficult to pick out a vacant spot in the outfield, guarded by Lady, Grimm, Chalfont and Baldwin. Our in- field is stronger than ever and Detwiler is again behind the bat doing his usual snappy work, ably seconded by Gustina. Captain George will be on the mound, confident of bettering last year ' s twirling. Mena, a new man, is a pitching find. Paffe Ttxo hundred eight CAMOUFLAGE.

It was near the end of a long winter and the freshman year was proving rather e.xpensive to father, so when Johnny came home for a week end, he decided to have a heart to heart talk with him. Now, son, said he gravely, but affectionately, your mother and I are spend- ing just as little as we can. I get up in the morning at half-past six and work till sundown. But, son, the money just won ' t go round at the rate your expenses run up: Now, I ask you, as one man to anotlier, what do vou think we had bet- ter do?

But the supply was inadequate to heat the gymnasium, so our promising baslietbal! season was nipped in the bud. However, the two games we did play created a great deal of enthusiasm and class spirit. The first team felt in honor bound to let the Junior team win the first game in payment for the strenuous practice they afforded; but the second team, in no way troubled by a sense of obligation, was mopping the floor with the Junior second team, when the game was called for supper. After having tltus prid ur deb , the Juniors did not have the ghost of a chanc; in the other two games of the series. Early in the fall, the girls secured hockey sticks and under the direction of Miss Hamilton and Mr. Finnegan they marked a portion of Wayne Field for practice. Almost any after- noon after four o ' clock the interested observers in the grandstand and elsewhere, could see the lassies in bloomers and middies industriously pursuing the ball and extricating them- selves from each others sticks. However, early and continued snows put an end to the exhilarating practice before any regular games were arranged. Windows on the north and east sides of Wayne Hall rented for higher prices than ever this spring, since the Senior girls were making up for time lost in the winter. We felt com- pensated for having to stroll around the track singing Soldier boy, soldier boy, where are you going? when we made such a spectacular success in the meet. The one activity of the association that received the most attention and support was the dances. The first of ih ' se wps unique in the largest sense of the word. Not only were the costumes, ranging from pajamas to tulle frocks, original, but the patronage was also distinctly different. Nntbnn C!. .nnd Mr. Mush made the hit of the season, in fact they even eclipsed the Avenging Angel (G. M. P.) who came to remove them gently but firmly. Although the children ' s dance had no such dramatic moments, it was also an entire success. For one afternoon, we were our little sisters with no thought of the morrow, what we should eat, drink, or have for Ag and Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of us. In the fall ihc ilcvo ' rcs of tennis played with unflagging zeal from sunrise to seven o ' clock. (Skating and hiking are the only other things that bring us out before breakfast). The courts are more preci-.us than gold, yea, than most fine gold, and in securing one there is great difficu ' tv. Vcu must stake your claim before sunrise and be on hand to protect your rights. Then you may will it down to other aspirants unless claim-jumpers get there first. In spring when the young man ' s fanc ' lightly turns to thoughts of love (favorite quotation of Foster H.) and the courts were rolled and marked, the bread line was as long and eager as ever, which fact accounted for the splendid success of the tournamen ' .

Picture the hopeful heroine breaking the grip of a drowning maiden and towing her out of the dangerous four feet of water into the safe six inclies. It is terrilily hard — to keep your feet off the bottom. Nevertheless, swimming is great sport and popular, in spite of the color of the water ; but just one piece of advice ; when you come out of the pool, don ' t run on the stone floor !

Now as the regular meetings of the G. M. G.

Teacher: John, where is P)unker Hill Monument!- ' John : On Bunker Hill, ma ' am. Teacher: Quite right, and where is Bunker Hill? John : Under Bunker Hill Monument, ma ' am. A little nine-year-old Model School boy was laboriously looking up his spell- ing w ' ords in the dictionary when he came upon one whose meaning was perfectly apparent to him.

Like breaking some good rule. When study time came ' round each day, It was our great delight. To act in any kind of way That was not good or right. The evil one with pallid cheeks Sat glaring from his chair. But what we did forty weeks. Kept him up in the air. As we pursued our wayward way, It gave us joy within To earn a call down every day Or try some new style din. We thrilled with satisfaction. Whenever he arose. Or ambled into action Disbursing friends and foes. The Office pushed him from ttie rear We crossed him to his face. He had to fill our souls with fear, Or we would run the place.

Come ' round me whilst I tell my lay: For many and many and many a day, A guard by name of Montenay, Sternly guarded — Study Hall. Such noise and fun and recreation In and out of recitation. Maddened him to desperation. Instead he chose War ' s cannon ball. For several days, all had a lark ' Till came to us Roberts and Park, Who settled down like a cloud so dark. Solemnity enclosed us all. They ' d had a long and prosperous reign When through the Hall echoed the strain, A change of guards required again. Departs Miss Park from out the Hall. Next day, it is a real fact, A new one came — one called Ruth Mack Who still endured and kept intact What was to her as bitter gaul. Now take your seats and less nonsense there. ' Too manv voices rend the air . No humming of ' The Old Grey Mare! ' Such things strike only on the walls. Fair readers shrink not from my tail; So bad are we, four teachers fail To keep us quiet.

Page Two hundred seventy-otie FINIS Kind reader, you liave uo y perused the pages and fornied au opinion of this, our volume of the SP RPENTINE. That it shows a likeness to the publications of jireeediug classes is accounted for by the fact that the history of a class is largely a repetition of those classes which have gone before, to a great extent. In passing your judgment, we do not court your praise nor solicit your approval, but hoi e for a just consideration of our product, remembering the various obstacles and difficulties under which, we, the Staff had to toil. Much of the matter apijearing in the foregoing pages was not written to be considered deeply, especially that which might slur or refer to our classmates or our .school in a derogatory manner. It is with a feeling of deepest regret that we sever our scho- lastic relations with the beloved institution and, to some small degree, express our gratitude for her many blessings.
