Then she lief jiii her teachiiiK in the pulilic ( ' arthage. !■■ these years Miss .McCarthy experienced all of the gootl times that lot of a youni; ' and happ. - ji ' ii ' l. especiall. - in the West. Moreover, she had a few extra thrown in. She traveled, more or less, in this country and in Europe. spent mouths with her unele. (ieneial Will. E. Dougherty. at various military i)Osts. see- ing arm.v life at its hi ' ightest and hest. About this time she contracted her story- writing hal)it which she has never since (piite given over. One da.v in 1910. return- ing to the I ' nited States after a rather extended trip abroad, she was meditating in her deck chair. She thought to herself: ' Why do I return at once to my Mis- souri home-land ' ' . I might enjoy a new world in the old East. ' So. stepping off the good ship Haverfonl on to Philadelphia soil, she sought a teacher clearing house: Certainlv. said the friend- l.v agent, go right out to the West Chester State Normal School where, at this mo- ment, the.v want an Engli.sh teacher and she did. So it I ' lit f F. ' ujlil JTH E 19Z3 S ERP E NT I N E came ahout tlial when Miss Helen Kaniuliar steppeil oul of the English De- partment to take up Y. V. C. A. v(ii-k in New ' oi-k City. .Miss ] IeCarthy stepped into the Xormal School and has liecn hen- ever since. When in 191!) Miss Elvira Y. Speaknian was incapacitated by illness. Dr. Philips asked Miss McCarthy to take upon herself the responsibilities of the Dean of Women. During her busy years of teaching, ] Iiss McCarthy never ceased to be a student. Incidentally, she has ac(|uired a tiiste for taking degrees. During the school year of litl5-l!)16 she betook herself to the Cidversity of Michigan, where she took her A.H. That hut whetted her appetite, so l)y dint of sunutier schools and much nndiiight electricity, she wrote her thesis, ' Some Uses of Religious Material in the Poetry of the Eighteen-Xineties and in 1921 was granted her M.A. from the University of Chicago ; it would not seem rash to surmise that she cast her ambitious eye on a not too distant Ph.D. These are the higlier institutions of learning which have ministered to jMiss McCarthy ' s .scholastic needs: University of Missouri, Cohnnbia University, University of Geneva. Switzerland. University of Penn.sylvaiua, University of Michigan, Univei ' sity of Chicago. liut she has received her broadest develop- ment from her constant devotion to standard and current litei ' ature. She is a wide and ai)i)i ' eciative reader of most l)Ooks. new and old. worth the reading. In these years full of exacting work as teacher and student. J Ii.ss McCarthy has frequently found time to slip across the continent to Oklahoma for that is where my nephew. Kobert Raymond lives with some other members of his family. Now Jliss McCarthy, for coui ' fesy ' s sake calls Oklahoma iier home, but really, her home is that snug. warm, little office where she sets in motion, or Ph Page Nine THE 1QZ3 SERPENTINeI foiitidciit of a fair niicl sympatlu ' tie lK ' ai-iii} i (■([Ual coiitideiKa ' , that Miss McCarthy is iicvt ' i |i i1s III!

And we can say, with ipiite so happy as when she lias secured some new condition by means of which one or all of her varied flock arc made more comforlable, more happy or hetfcr behaved. We need onls ' to mention the .est with which Mi.s.s McCarthy goes into all good works. Whether the ])roject is social lietterment in the school, the Red Cross, the Near East Relief, the Needle Work (luild or the I ' elief of some ob- scure and needy famil.v or school, she throws into it. the weight of her soul and then something worth while is sure to happen. This lad.v of manifold interests, has found time to write and j)ublisli a number of stories an l articles. She has l)roken into print many times; in the Popular Educator, Primary Educator. St. Nicholas, School and Society and Ed- ucational Reviews. Her Spelling Test, published in School and Society, is re- garded as an authority. She has had put into book form her ' Plays from the Wonder Hook and collaborated with her sister in a very successful Teachers ' Guide, much valued by grade teachers in tin- West. For several years she was the faculty editor of the temporaril - defunct school magazine, The Auuilet. Some of Miss ] IcCartliy ' s most pi ' onounced tastes are. her enjo.vnient of small children, boys preferred, her love of dogs, her penchant for strong coffee and for mushrooms, her preference for the Atlantic IFonthly and her attach- ment to hei ' church. Miss l rc( ' ai ' thy is Si ' cret;n-v of the Pennsylvania Association of Deans of Women. Perhaps the fact of her election to that office, when the Deans or- ganized about three years aso. suggests one of IVfiss McCarthy ' s leading charac- teristics. Slie does not hesitate to take the initiative in matters that interest her and is (|uite as active in carrvine them through. The combination of a soul which appreciates hiffh spiritual values of life, plus a mind which takes ac- count, in a practie;d fashion, of the actual hannenings in this bad old world, pro- duces a result which makes for rare serviceableness. The Class of 192.3 will long remember IVIiss jrcr ' arthy for a variety of rea- sons. They feel her hand in the new and delightful improvements in living conditions: in the much priced lobbv. in the long-hoped-for students ' laundry; in the actTial accomplishment of the earnestlv desired student government ex- iv ' viment and in tbe broadei-ed s or e of soeial life in p-eneral. T believe it is not foo much to affirm that the Seniors will some dav look back and place an even higher valuation than thev iiow do. on the firm, sensible, appreciative ffuidanee. hv means of which our Dean of Women is striving to give such shape to these new forces, that thev will bring to our school-life, permanent better- ment, rather than ultimate disaster. The judgment which led Dr. Philins fo ;elect JHss McCarthy for our Dean of Woni( n and the confidence which the Ti ' ustees and Dr. Smith feel in her stewardship, tosrether with tbp esteem and appereiation which members of the faeultv and students aliV feel for tbis a ' coKinlished woman, makes it nuite fittinjr that the Cla.ss of 19?3 sii- nld b sto - the honor of being the Presiding Genius of the Class Book, on their coimselor and friend Grace Dietrich Mc- Carthy.

Pa e One Hundred Seven [THE IQgg) SERPENTINEJ )ome Oeniors in tKeD orm We ' re Seniors, just Seniors, living in the Dorm To the Green and White we ' re true, And now some star girls of our class I ' ll introduce to you. First, Mareella H., who draws so well, And Annie who can spell, And one who uses such big words, I s ' pose I ' d best not tell. In Sociology, the credit goes To Irene and to Ruth, Yes, Mabel S., I ' d better say. To speak the plainest truth. In History of Ed., the praise ( ?) we ' ll take From Peggy and from Juel, And hand it down to Mildred K., Who ' ll broadcast it through the school. M Here ' s Carol B., our lady fair, So tall and sort of slim, Who fixes up her pretty hair So nice and neat and trim. Now Catherine G.. or ' Kitty Cat Is most always bluffing. But when she is not doing that Her nose she ' s powder puft ' ing. Our athletes, too, you all must know, Whose works I shall extol. Sis. Doe. Beezie and Joe Are all on the Varsity Roll. At last here comes our Hazel. You see she ' s always late. But T think we ' d best excuse her. Because she had a date. s Well, now I p ' pose I ' d better stop. Or I ' ll get in a row. But no — I ' m sure the girls won ' t care. They ' re Seniors, Seniors in the Dorm, you know. Page One Hundred Eight {TH E 1QZ3 S ERP E NT 1 N EJ Mid-Tear Graduates Nineteen members of our class completed the course of study at the end of the tirst semester.

If the sentence is displeasing to some they may resort to Downing the accused over Simon Petei-s Sut-cliffe or perhaps Lynch him. He would lie Fre-er if he could pass the Swine- ford near the Dixon line. Although the school affords two prominent Literary Societies, only one Moore and not a single Aryan is present. Despite the fixed colors of these societies, the school, and those worn by the faculty and students, only four are represented : Brown, Greene, Gray and White.

This famous quotation from George Eliot truly has been the spirit of our Y. W. C. A. throughout the year. True to custom, the Y. W. C. A. gij ' ls were among the first to welcome and comfort the new students who ari ' ivcd last fall eagerly looking forward to a year of fruitful and earnest work. The first social event of the year was the Y. W. and Y. j l. reception given to all new students. It was voted a great success and many and vai ' ied were the unique methods which were inti ' oduced so that evei-yone might become ac- quainted. Probably one of the greatest achievements in the line of progress this year was due to the fact that we endeavored to make the organization a vital jiart of the student ' s life and one in which nearly every student felt some responsibility. The mid-week meetings were vai ' icd and of sulfieiently wide range to interest every type of individual. The regular l iblc Study class met in the chapel under the efficient super- vision of Dr. Heathcote. It proved a source of inspiration to many. Many of the great truths brought out will remain with us forever. One of the outstanding features of the work this year was the Normal School Conference held the week-end of April 27-29. This was a meeting of the Normal School cabinets from West Virginia, ilaryland and the eastei ' u section of Pennsylvania. Since it was a new undertaking it was deemed (piite an honor for West Chester Y. W. C. A. to act in the capacity of hostess. Upon surveying the results of the new enterprise it was voted a success. In conclusion, we cherish the hope, and pray that our Y. W. C. A. may grow in number and in spirit of service. As the new cabinet takes up the work we hope that they may catch the gleam of service and fellowship for which the organization stands. Page One Hundred Tiventy-five OFFICERS Robert S.

Deisenroth Social Committee Page One Hundred Tiventy-six i THE 19Z3 SERPENTINE Departing from thv usual plan in receiving our new nienihers this year, the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. cabinets met as a committee to arrange a program of games , music, refreshments, and a general get-together for the new students. On Friday evening, Sept. 22nd, our plans culminated in a large gathering in the gymnasium. Each member of the cabinets acted in the capacity of host or hostess, and each vied with the other in getting acquainted with new students and in turn getting new students ac(iuained with each other. Owing to the large nnniber of fellows who went to church on Sunday morning, the usual Sunday morning meetings were discontinued early in the fall, and a committee planned a program for the winter months. The commit- tee decided to use for Hible study class discussion a small pamphlet which was used at Silver Bay Conference, entitled Facing Student Problems. It i on- tained many live ([uestions concerning the religious life in the school and on the universit.y campus of today. While the discussions did not always closely adhere to religious lines, .vet we feel some good was derived. To add more variety and interest to the meetings, they were held in the rooms of the several cabinet members, instead of the Y. M. C. A. room as was formerly the custom. Due to the difficulty in procuring good speakers for both organizations on Thursday evenings, the two organizations often combined the meetings. We were favored with some very capable speakers. Through the eiforts of the Christian organizations we were fortunate in procuring Hon. J. Stit Wilson. who is known throughout all the large colleges and universities as one of the big speakers of the day. On Dec. 11th, Mr. Wilson delivered three lectures. His first lecture, delivered in the morning, was called The Four Great Problems Confronting Mankind. Another lectui ' e of his series called The ] Iaster Principle — As Revealed by Science was given in the afternoon, and in the evening he gave a lect ure consisting of a combination of lectures. The attendance of nearly every student in the school indicated the interest and enthusiasm which his lectures aroused. We feel that much of the success of the school depends U|)on the Christinn organizations, and we hope that those who are chcsen to continue this good work will not lack the spirit and enthusiasm which is necessary for its progress.

Their success in tiiis endeavor may well be judged by the number of Juniors who participated in the pro- grams throughout the year. The Revenge of Shari Hot Sue, a very delightful play, was presented by the society the first Saturday of our leturn. This little play was typical of Japanese customs intermingled with enough American originality to make it entertaining. Too much cannot be said of the literary and musical programs offered at the various meetings of the society. The staging of Dickens ' Christmas Carol, previous to the Christmas holidays, imbued the student body witii tiie true spirit of the season. On October 22, the Normal students and their friends were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Ongawa at the tifty-first anniversary of the society. The program they rendered presented the poetic and romantic life of Old Japan. Thes.e artists, natives of the land of the cherry blossoms, iii a series of songs, recitations, and finally a little play, introduced the audience to Japanese cus- toms in a manner most charming. Robert E. Curtin of Wilmington, a member of the cla.ss of 07, presided at the meeting. The faculty, students, and friends, spent the remainder of the evening engaged in the terpsichorean art. Due to the sincere and earnest ett ' orts of some of our loyal Moores. the Moore Gazette is steadily improving. All contributors are to be com- mended upon their exemplary work. A hearty spirit of co-operation is mani- fested by the school toward the paper. It is the eager desire of the class of ' 23 that the gazette continue to flourish and prosper as the fleeting years go by.

We very aptly realize that in this very heterogeneous group of people, whom we welcome, are found those who are to become loyal supporters of their society in carrying on the work next year. We Aryans are glad that so many of the large number of Juniors joined our ranks and began at once to live up to their pledge — active membership. One of the most important factors whirh helped several to take the decisive step was undoubtedly the first Aryan meeting, Oct. 1, 1922. The president ' s in- augural address, The Power of Choice. as a timely and thought-stimulating ap- peal for self-responsibility. Following the inauguration of officers, Nothing but the Truth, a comedy in three acts, wasi presented by a most carefully chosen cast. It is the general opinion that this was the best play ever given here by students. Certain it is. that each participant merits the most sincere commendation, both for effort and ability. If the pleasure experienced by those who worked to make this play such a real success for the blue and the gold equalled that enjoyed by us in the audience they were indeed well rewarded. With this splendid start the Aryan Society was ready to strive with renewed vigor for the ideals dreamed by its founders, forty-three years ago. The reunion in commemoration of this birth was held May 19, at which time Frank McEntee and Company of New York City presented The Admirable Creighton. The re- unions of the two Literary Societies have always been red letter days in the school ' s history, and the spirit of this occasiion was one of matchless delight. Now, most of us are about to write Finis at the end of the first chapter of our lives — the chapter entitled, Preparation for Life Work. Of course we shall always be students, but henceforth we are left at the mer ' y of oup own meager re- sponsibility. We all realize that the end crowns the work but, if for various rea- sons, there is lacking in some of our crowns of success, the star which few attain, let us make this serve as a stimulus to go forth and prove to ourselves how much we really do owe to the noble name of Aryan!

Music Supervisors ' Course IX llii ' t ' iill of 1921 West C ' lipster Normal School was scletecd as one of the flirec Pennsylvania Noiiual Schools to offer a thi ' ce years ' course for SniJCrvisors of Public School Music. This course is designed for iiigh school graduates who wish to supervise music in the schools of the state. The first year five enrolled in this course tlie fiist semester, and the niunber was increased to eight the second semester. With such small classes much individual instruction was given to the students of this course. This year the popularity of the course was increased in number from eight to thirty-one and with tln ' increased enrollment has come a strong music faculty of seven persons who are trained specialists in their field of work. The course of study is most thorough, beginning with the rudiments of music and building upon that until at the end of the tliird year a high stand- ard of professional training is attained. Not only is music taught to supervisors, but a minimum of three sem- esters ' woi ' k is re(|uire(l of all stuilents to graduate from any of the state normal schools. To meet the increased requirements and standards for supervisors of mu- sic lately adopted by the State of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Summer Ses- sion for the training of supervisors of music was opened for six weeks at this school, June, 1922. The attendance at this first session was five hundred fif- teen, of whom three hundred fifteen were from Pennsylvania and two hun- dred from thirty-three other States, Canada, Mexico, and the District of Co- lumbia. Four hundred fifty-nine of those enrolled had an average teaching experience of seven years. The faculty of this school was composed of prom- inent educators throughout the United States and Canada, under the direc- tion of Dr. Hollis Dann, our State Director of Music. Exceptional opportunities for private study were oft ' ered in voice, piano, organ, band, and orchestral instruments, public speaking, eurythmics, orches- tration and conducting. This school promises to be an annual affair and already has been an im- portant factor in raising the prestige of the West Chester State Normal School. Page One Hundred Thirty-eight THE 192.3 SERPENTINE Music Entertainments THE first concert of the year was inw that will be long reur ' iubered by tlicse present. Cliai-les Wakefield ( adman, foremost American composer, and Princess Tsianina. the well-known Indian singer, appeared in a program of Indian mn- sic. Mr. Cadman is an excellent pianist and plays with mnch feeling. Tsi- anina lias an enviable vcice and a most charming personality. The appearance of Mrs. Hunt in chapel delighted us all. Her voice and interpretation were powers in demonstrating the true art of singing. As ;i benefit for the Christian Associations of the school. Miss Veronica (Sweigart. contralto, and iliss Eleanor Starkey, soprano, appeared in concert in the school auditorium. Both young women are graduates of the school, and the occasion was one of a home-coming for them. Mrs. Dorothea Xeebe Lange accompanied the sweet singers who charmed the audience with music of the sort which touches hearts. The ])rogram rendered by the Boston Symphony (Quintette, assisted by Mary Potter, contralto, was appreciated hy town and school folic alike. The singing of Miss Potter was inspirational, and the Quintette, luider llie ilirec- tion of Herman Sulzen, showed a high attaiiniient of e.xeellencv. ' I ' he r Iusif Club of Haverford College di-ew the largest audience of the year. The progiam was of a nature that was pleasing to the severest critic. Mr. H. T. Brown of Philadelphia appeared in fine voice in two numbers. Oil the Road to Mandalay, and Where My Caravan Has Rested. Through the ei¥orts of Miss Cropsey, the students were privileged to hear an excellent piano and vocal recital, given by D. Heudrick Ezernnm, pianist, and Miss Marjorie Lowe, soprr.iui soloist. Mr. Ezerman is a brilliant pianist and plays with much feeling; Miss Lowe sings with complete vocal control, showing much expression. ( ur own talent was heard for the first time ;it the Christmas carol service, given by the eonibined Glee Club of the school. The usual pi ' ocession of the girls, dressed in white, was greatly added to bj- a lighted candle carried by each. The impressiveness of the true Christmas spirit cannot soon be for- gotten. A ])rivate recital, quite informal, was given by Miss Lowe ' s pupils in the Y. M. ( . A. room at Wayne Hall. The numbers were of varied text and mu- sic, and the interest of the audience was held throughout the program. The advanced pupils of Miss Cropsey and Miss Lowe gave a .joint recital in the chapel. The piano numbers were rendered with a finish of teclminue and were received with much appreciation.

Promptly at three o ' clock the reception committee, composed of faculty members and colonial costumed minuet dancers, formed in the north reading room to receive the guests who assembled in the rotunda of the library. The main entertainment wliich followed was a Washington ' s Birthday Fantasy, 76 in ' 23, a dramatization conceived and executed by members of the Senior Class under the guidance of Miss Cora E. Everett. The dramatiza- tion was opened by a group of merry makers ho had gathered to celebrate Washington ' s birthday. Strains of music were played by ] Iiss Florence Kepner as tliey ambled down tlie stairs to the i)latfoi-in below. Tiiey paused only to salute tlie curtained frame behind which Dean Wagnei ' . President of the Senior Class, stood in tableau as George Washington. Through the medium of the magician, who arrived late at tiie party, George Washington was summoned from his portrait to partake in tlie jollity of the occasion. His surprise wlien confronted by our modern inventions was quite amusing. In return for the hospitality of the host and hostess, the Gen- eral asked the magician to summon to the scene his wife, Martha, and six of their contempoiarics, so thiit Ihey miglit reciprocate by giving- a luiinu ' t for the company of ' 23. The magician eoinplied and the original merry makers retired to the balcony to look down upon the cohniial dancers, after wliich refreshments were served in the south reading room to the assemblage by a group of senior girls headed by Miss Isador Cropsey. The festivities eoneluded with a turkey dinner served to tlie entire stu- dent body in the dininiJ ' loom at six o ' clock. CAST Host of ' 23. Robert S. Anderson ; Hostess.

Paffe One Hundred Fifty-one Page One lluniireJ Fifly-tiun THE 192.3 SERPENTINE Entertainment Course It has been said that wisdom is not all found in books. Those of us ■who have taken advantage of the opportunity of hearing political and social prob- lems discussed, the aspects of international viewpoints, and enjoying the best in art and music are deeply appreciative of this channel of wisdom in the entertainment course. It has always been a distinct advantage of school life. In this year especially we have been fortunate in the great variety of subjects discussed. Apart from musical numbers there are several that deserve men- tion. Our first number was a lecture by Thornton Oakley on art. Mr. Oakley gave us a newer way of looking at illustrations and interpreting them. An illustrator. he said, tries to convey a message in a picture. To prove his point he had reproductions of some of America ' s best known illustrations thrown on the screen. Several sjjlendid examples of light and shade com- pleted the slides. We went from this delightful encertaiument with a great deal of real information and an appreciation of art ' s message. Our next number was a lecture by Dr. Alexander Irvine of New York. A man with a brilliant and amazing career, he came to us with a message showing a deep and philosojjiiical view of world problems. He pointed out the fact that force has failed to solve any real world difficulty, and that nations have perished through this mistaken idea of powerful force. His plea was to teach through tlie children a responsibility to law and order and an apprecia- tion of l)eauty. In an endeavor to have the western world understaiul the viewi)oint of the oriental one, Syud Hossain gave a lecture on The Moslem World and Western Civilization. His main arguments seemed to be that Turkey siiould be left alone to work out her own destiny and that dominating military force should be abolished from the world. Mr. S. K. Rateliffe ' s knowledge of new and vital developments of inter- national law made him very able to present them to us. The attitude of John Bull has always been of interest to Americans and the speaker gave us a clearer understanding of what England thinks and does. The girls of the school were especially interested in hearing Mrs. Forbes Robertson Hale speak on Girls of Today and Women of Tomorrow. Her lecture dealt with the modern girl, conditions which have made her as she is, and her important part in future world affairs. Tlie opinions of such a talented woman have much to recommend them. A most unusual subject, Spirit Beliefs, drew many of us to the chapel He gave to us evidences of the frauds practiced larjje numlier of slides were sliown to bear out to hear Dr. Joseph Jastrow. by so-called niediums. A his arguments. A brief review will suffice to show that in variety of subjects and worth of speakers the entertainment course of 1922-1923 has been a source of untold worth to students. Page One Hundred Fifty-three THE 19Z3 SERPENTINEJ University Courses Among the many advantages West Chester State X(inual has to offer its students, the opportunity to broaden them through extra-mural courses ottered by the University of Pennsylvania. The proximity of the school to Philadel- phia makes this privilege jjossible. Included in the enrollment we find towns- folk, faculty members, and students all eager to add these interesting courses to their work. Normal School students who take these college courses are enrolled as students in the University catalog. Both the Normal School and the Univer- sity give regular college credit which can be transferred to any other college. The merit of these courses tre{iuently instills or strengthens the desire of one to go on to sonu institution of higher learning. This year the University offered the following courses: Dr. George Henry Hallett — Algebra. Dr. Emit D. Grizell — Junior High School Problems. Dr. William Page Harbeson — English Novel. Dr. Alfred G. White— Climatology. Dr. Frank Alan Laurie — Short Story. The course in Algebra given by Dr. Hallett has continued throughout both semesters. Only those with a decided mathematical bent venture into his class- room. It is a business place for people who mean business. Each year proves to a greater degree the capability and earnestness of Dr. Hallett in the pre- sentation of his course. Perhaps the most exclusive of the courses given th.is year was that of Junior High School Problems by Dr. Grizell. The general plan of the course included the fundamental principles underlying the Junior High School, text book discussions, supplementary readings and reports. The entire course was conducted in a most masterly fashion. The largest enrollment was found in the English Novel course given by Dr. Harbeson. Every week many persons not taking the course went to hear the delightfid lectures. Dr. Harbeson, in a most interseting way, cultivated a ti uly literary atmosphere. The result was a keener aitpreciatiou of those worthwhile English novels. A new course was introduced the second semester, namely, Climatology, under Dr. White. About twenty interested in this social and scientific study enrolled. Here we found a thorough study made of weather maps, and in- fluences of climate and geographic envn-onment on life. This course has proved most profitable to everyone taking the work. Dr. Laurie presented a very instructive course in the study of the Short Story. Such authors as Poe, Bret Harte, Kipling, and 0. Henry were dis- cussed. Dr. Laurie gave lis both favorable and unfavorable criticism of the work of these %vriters, substantiating his statements by excerpts from their stories. We feel that we have been very fortunate in having these excellent teach- ers with us this year, also, that the courses covered so wide a range of in- terest. We hope that the course may continue as the years go on.

Our liard working Coach, Bert Hall, who was an ail- American quarterback, was a splendid and helpful leader. With ' Tedo Evans and a number of veterans to guide the team the goal of a championsliip eleven seemed nearer than ever before. But Ole Man Trouble paid more visits to our team than we were en- titled to. In the early part of the season Dain, Mandolia, and Dissinger sus- tained temporary injuries, while Doheny, Deisenroth and King were put out for the season. However, the great blow came when Tedo was disabled. Shippensburg Normal and Williamson Trade botii won hard fought games, althougli they were outjilayed most of the time. We won but three games; those with F. and M. Academy, Stevens Trade, and the school s oldest rival, Millersville Normal School. No alibi is ofl ' ered, for everyone of our losses was to a good team.

Last year our team was not defeated by any other normal school in the state. This year ' s team, which was chosen from a wealth of material, won the first four games of the season, but then the tide turned and remained that way for the remainder of tlie season. Captain, Tedo Evans, after being injured in football, was luiable to re- port for practice until mid-season, never-the-less his place was temporarily well filled by Babe Evans. Eddie Cantwell and Ike Evans both played stellar games at forward throughout the season, and proved to be a hard working pair at forward. Joe Pitts, Piggy Hogg and Babe Evans all played their positions well as guards. The veteran material for next year ' s team will be Cantwell, Hogg, H. Evans and Catron. Predictions are rather uncertain and we do not wish to pose as prophets, notwithstanding we have a feeling that next year fortune will smile where last time she frowned.

In past years West Chester Normal gained such an enviable record in physical training, it seems only a just reward to introduce a course for |irf])ai-ing teachers to go out and conduct this type of work. Dr. Lewis, the head of the department, is managing it in a most efficient and business-like manner which assures its success. The course of study, which is in accordance with the Pennsyl- vania State Syllabus, is very extensive, covering both theory and practice. Going hand in hand with this course is the girls ' athletics. The Class of 23 has established an unprecedented record in athletics for the season of 22 and 23. They have come through the season undefeated, although they met with some stiff opposition on the part of the Juniors and the Health Education Students. The season opened with the annual swinnning meet. It seemed from sounds of splashing water that issued from the basement of the Gym in the weeks previous to the meet that the spectators would have to appear in rubbers, raincoats, and with umbrellas. But practice makes perfect, and on the after- noon of the meet the swimmei ' s glided through the water skillfully and speed- ily. The Seniors were victorious, retaining the cup won last year. Hockey was introduced as a new sport. Fractured noses, bandaged shins, and broken fingers were very much in evidence during the first few weeks of practice. Of the survivors two teams were formed who played two games, in which the Seniors were champions. Under the direction of Mi ' s. N. I). George, tennis assumetl a major im- portance among the athletics of the fall season. A long series of elimination games was played which led to a iinal contest between the Junior winner, Edna Bearman, and the Senior winner, Anna Barr. In the final game played on the day of Moore Anniversary, Miss Barr won the championshij). Volley ball was a popular sport during the winter season. A series of games was played between the Seniors and Juniors in which the Seniors came out victorious. Because of keen competition, basket ball became one of the liveliest sports of the athletic season. Three teams were organized : Seniors, Juniors and Health Eds. Under the coaching of Miss Wallace the Seniors developed a method of play and passing that was absolutely impenetrable. It was through their decided team work that the Seniors, although strongly opposed by the Juniors and Health Eds. won their W ' s . 1 1 Page One Hundred Sixty-nine ' M Senior Basketball Dorothy Leahey, Center Captain Josephine Heimbaeh, Rozella Dougherty Forward Anna Barr, Louise Calloway Guard Elizahetii Le Van Side Center Gladj ' s Weetbrook Substitute Helen Kent Substitute Senior Voile}) Ball Elizabeth Le Van, Captain Louise Calloway Dorothy Leahey Rozella Dougherty Anna Barr Josephine Heimbaeh m Page One Hundred SeTenif THE 192.3 SERPENTINE Junior Basketball Muriel Calligan ( aptaiu Audrey Daniels, Erma Humpliries Forward Margaret Knoll, Mabel Lumiuis Guard Beryl Hague, Blanche Williams Center Florence Stanton.

All who witnessed this demonstration agreed that it ecjnalled if not surpassed all previous demonstrations. The demonstration opened with the Junior marching tactics, which was beautifully and rhythmically executed. They dis- ] layed great ability in the intricate figure marching, which was brought to the climax by the formation of W C. Next on the program came the Senior wand drill. This complicated exercise was performed with absolute accuracy. The uniform movements of the girls gave a pleasing eflfect to those who viewed it from the balcony. A series of folk dances, by a Junior class, followed the wand drill. After these came the Senior mimetic exercises. These consistetl of imitations of archery, shot-put, bowling, base ball and swimming, which were so effectively carried out that they seemed almost actual engagements. One of the new features in this year ' s exhibition was the corrective exer- cises. These exercises, conducted in a special class in the basement of the gym- nasium, are designed to correct certain deformities such as round-shoulders, hollow-back, etc. This departnu-nt has been under the direction of Mrs. Naomi E.

Page One Hundred Seventy-nine ilTHE 192.3 SERPENTINE ESITSarAL In Retrospect The two years that we have known West Chester Normal have meant much to us; more perhaps than we can now fully realize. They have been two years of unprecedented material growth for the school. Concrete walks, a flag pole, campus benches, a new electric elevator, stud- ents ' laundry, music rooms and a cafeteria are just a few of the many improve- ments added to the school plant. What has perhaps proved to be of greatest utility, was the reduction of rooms in the main building to add space for completely remodeled and modern- ized toilet facilities. The students ' rooms which have been newly carpeted, papered, jiainted and lighted are not likely surpassinl by schools of the higher class. The same principle has been applied in the construction of the now popular lobby. This provides, as the narrow corridors could not, for the natural social mingling of the young men and women under refined conditions such as should mark any co-educational institution. E(|ually important changes have been made in the dining room, so that its appearance, furnishings and service have been greatly improved through the efforts of a capable dietician. The new course of study now provides for four specialized curricula, each designed for a specific t.ype of teaching with a supervisor to direct the practical teaching of each group. Entrance to the school is now secured on a basis similar to that required by colleges. Only those who will agree to teach are admitted. The over-crowded . work of the librarian has been relieved by a trained assistant. In addition to the regular normal course, the school has been selected as one of the three Pennsylvania Normal Schools to offer a three year course for Supervisors of Public School Music and of Health Education. This advance required a faculty of seven members in the music and six in the Health Edu- cation Departments. Quite contrary to past traditions many of the women of the faculty have taken rooms in Wayne Hall. This idea was followed by the using of the Y. M. C. A. room as a musical studio. The entire disciplinary attitude of the place has been changed through the introduction of larger student participation in social and governmental activities. Because we have so greatly benefited by these improvements we want to give full credit to the efficient executives of the school. To those who come after us we wish the same enjoyment as has been ours. Page One Hundred Eighty What a small acorn West Clicstcr State Normal School was fifty years ago, to produce such a mighty oak as it is the present day! Tiiat was during the Panic of 1873. Not the north wing, nor the south wing, nor the annex, nor any other improvements had even been seen. What fun it must have been to go to school when there were only seventy- two pupils enrolled, half of which were boys; when there were so few l)ranches to be studied ! Wiio can little imagine an old dilapidated boardwalk leading down Iligli Street to the Normal School, or Wayne Kield as a fair ground, or the skating pond as an athletic field : ' In those days tia])i)ers were not known, ladies wore bustles, nobody swatted the fly or had aiii)eiidieitis, nobody wore white shoes, and Sunday was a day of rest and worship. Men only could vote and kick about their taxes. Our pavements were swept by the ladies skirts. Mother and father knew al- most as much as the children. Nobody thought a minis ter was sm.irt if lie couldn ' t preach an hour. Radio was not dreamed of. Who can guess what the next fifty years will bring? At the same rate of increase there will he thousands in the graduating class and this school will be a large University. Think of Wayne Field bordered by a large stadium sur- rouiuled by fine buildings and the Philips Memorial Hall large enough to hold the mass of students. Yes and think what a tremendous and influential body the Alumni will be. Paiie Unr Hundred Ei(jhly-oiie Page One Hundred Eiglity-tv:o IIthe 19Z3 serpentine HOLLINGERS HASH SLINGING ASSOCIATION H. H.

It was rumored that the leader got too much exercise and so was forced to aliandon the worthy occupation.

Soon after we left Normal the hungriest of the hunch hegan to devour the lunches Mr. Hollinger had prepared. Ahout 10:30 our train pulled into the Union Station in Washington and we walked to the ( ' ai)itol. The first glimpse of the Capitol, with its nui.ssive dome, nrule those of our party, who had never heen to Washington, glad foi ' the oiijiortimity. The walls and ceiling were decorated with marvelous jtaintings. We visited the Presi- dent ' s room and the Halls of Congress. In this building we saw ihi longest corridor in the woild. it being seven hundred-iifty-one feet in length. The interior of the Congressional Library is built of highly ])olished It;: ian marble. The elaborately carved colunuis and the marble figures in the stair cases were very intei-esting. From the I ' cadiiig I ' oom in the great central ro- tunda, one sees book stacks containing three million volumes. The shelves are forty-five miles long. On our way to Arlington. c wnc shown the Foreign Embassies ' homes and homes of the diplomats and prominent mm of our country, and the home of Edgar Allen Poe. We passed the White House, the Hureau of Internal Rev- enue, Carnegie Institute, tiie National Zoological Park and Fort Meyer. We then entered the beautiful, sacred grounds of the Arlington cemetery. In the Bureau of Printing and Engraving wc saw more moiu-y than we ever expect to see at one time again. We saw them making bills of denomina- tions from one to one thousand dollars; pi-inting. counting and i)erfoi ' atii)g stamps by the thousands; nud ing bonds and se;-urities of ;dl kinds. Probably the most delightful trip was our visit to Mt. X ' rrnon. The first place we visited was the tomb of (ieoi-ge Washington, the father of our coun- try. The most uni(|ue factor in the Mansion House were the dishes, tables, and chairs which wci ' e used by ' Sir. ami Irs. Washington.

Come late — If hy accident you should be early, please don ' t ask the person in charge of the dining room to excuse you. This would be discourteous on your part. 2. Maintain as much noise as possible during grace. 3. Begin serving before all are seated and continue while announcements are being made. 4. During the meal feel at liberty to speak to a pei ' son at a table other than yoni- own. Never ask permission of the host oi ' hostess; to do so would show ill bi ' eeding. 5. Seats may be changed in the dining room without permi.ssion. The office doesn ' t want to be bothered In ' keeping a record of you. We can locate you easily if necessary. 6. If you need ' food take it from the dining room. In the loliliy is the jiroper place to eat it. 7. In case of illness the nurse will send you a fi ' ce tray without notice. 8. Don ' t ask for meal tickets for guests from the Business Oflfiee. We serve guests free of charge. r3 e One Hundred Eighiy-mne Rural Educational Club President FRED Y.

However, the things they repeated so often, We know all the words of each ; What I ' m trying to put across, says Crommie, Are some lessons their sayings teach. I ' m not going to tell you, go look it up, Miss Elliot says in an emphatic way; iluch more knowledge we would attain If we ' d but do this every day. It ' s unfair to omit our new instructor Whose subject is History of Ed : For Doctoi ' Seipt says with his usual grin, Do not worry, there ' s work ahead. Miss Lamborii pauses before the last word Of each sentence in Art Appreciation We can add that last word and so forth Without much deliberation. J Prof. Kinneman says, As a matter of fact I ' m not concerned about that at all; He ' s concerned very much about the order Maintained by the boys of Wayne Hall. Drawing is thinking, according to Prof. Stiles, And marking around the think. Yet we know it ' s quite impossible To mark all our thoughts with ink. Uncle Ned says so much that stirs our emotions I hardly know which one to state ; Exactly six times a thing must be told one Before it begins to percolate. We ' d take ot¥ our hats every day to Miss Bull, Her influence on us is great ; All who ' ve been in her Tests classes will say, ' ' Your Measurements she ' 11 surely take.

What the outcome will be, only time can tell We must wait with patience, and faith, and hope For the things we want on the earth we dwell. I know no statement iliss Everett repeated As the other teachers have done ; Her choice of words i.s a lesson woi ' th heeding From the dullest to the brightest one.

Wliat was the canse of this coniinotion ? Was some great event taking place? Everyone thought it very imi)ortant. for the members of the illustrious class of 23 were making tlieir deliut info tiie gi-eenstone wjills and classic halls. ' Thus our wcli to Xoniial. Having (piite readily adjusted ourselves to our environment, we quietly started to ma.ster the ])rescribed course of study aud enjoy the social life of the school with its Friday night dances, midnight feeds, and society meetings. Up to this time, really happened. The cers who were : ' had been functioning as individuals. Then — something Juniors tirst assembled as a class and elected their oflfi- President George il. ilcKee Vice President Harold G. Ebei ' t Secretary Jlarion K. Peters Treasurer Pauline E. Swift Why shoidd we not all be prouil, for henceforth we could function as a class, — the Class of 2:5. E.xaminations, basketball and football games, week-end trips and class meetings were all very important events for us. A class meeting was held to choose our motto, colors, flower and the design of our ring and of our pin. After some discussion we decided that Facta uou Verba, Deeds, not Words, should be our motto; green and white, our colors; and the white rose, our flower. Then came that exciting day — December twenty-second. 1921. when we went home for our Chi-istmas vacation. Januarv third found us again at Normal with nuich ambition and pep (?) On the evening of May twelfth, the Class of ' 23 made its first appearance in formal school society by entertaining the Seuiore. The Gym was most effect- ively decorated in green and white, the class colors. The evening s festivities began with a reception. Dr. and Mrs. Smith. Dr. Sehmucker, Jliss Goshen, of the faculty, and the Junior Class Offieei ' s received the guests. After the guests were received dancing was enjoyed by all. Refreshments were then served. After the Prom we spent a few very busy weeks preparing for final exams., prior to our summer recess. September nineteen, 1922, came a jolly crowd of Seniors back to West Chester, with recollections of a long, pleasant vacation. We were very ener- getic and desirous of doing our best to achieve our goal — graduation. m Page Tvio Hundred Six THE 19Z3 SERPENT The chief aspects of the social life of our Juuior year were also enjoyed during our Senior year but we particularly enjoyed the new lobby. One of the first duties was the election of our class officers who were : President Dean F. Wagner Vice President George M. McKee Secretary Dorothea Leaiiey Treasurer E. Louise Calloway As prelude to the annual Washington ' s Birthday Reception, the Senior Class dance was held on Wednesday evening, February twenty-first, nineteen hundred-twenty-three. The dining room, cleared of all but its excellent floor space was called into action. Decoration in red, white, and blue, colors which served to add greatly to the festive atmosphere of the occasion as well as to art in the capacity of the forerunners of the next day ' s reception. The Jones Orchestra of Philadelphia furnished the music. Those who attended the Alumni Ban(|uet at the IJellevue Sti ' atford Hotel in Philadelphia on April seventii deemed it one of the most enjoyable events of their school life at West Chester. One of our long-looked-for ambitious was gratified on Ma.v third, fourth, and fifth when the Seniors were given the privilege of going to Washington. The only disappointment was the brief time of our stay. However, we succeeded in visiting many places of interest iioth in and out of the city. All who went thought it a very worth-while trip. The next important event was tiie reception given to the Seniors by tlie Junior Class. The Gym was attractively decorated in crimson and grey, the colors of the Class of 24. Members of the faculty and officei-s of the Class of ' 24 acted as host and hostess. A three act comedy entiled Only 38 by A. E. Thomas was given by members of the Senior Class for their guests at Commencement. In other words, Only 38 means the final realization by the children that their mother still has the spirit of youth although she is thirty-eight. The play was coached by Miss Everett, and its decided success was a just reward of her alulity and interest. GRADUATION With the Jo.y of Life iu our pulsing heart We have come to the place wliere our ways nuist jiart. And we pause to-day on the boundary line Where the beckoning lights of success shine; You can catch the gleam in our steadfast eyes Of glorious dreams where the P iture lies, And our faith is strong that our every need Will meet with strength — so we ' ll say ■ God-speed .

I dceidi ' d to sj)cnd a day in visiting the Tcaehcis ' ( ' ollcgc at West Ciieslcr. How .sur- prised I was to find, as President of that College, Uoetor Roselia Dougherty! How much we had to say to one another! Jn the course of the convei-sation I told her that five of the members of the class of ' 23 were endeavoring to locate their classmates; that the information collected was to be pulilished in l)ook form. She suggested that the book he called Famous Men and Women of the Class of ' 23 , since the members of this class had acliieved such noteworthy things. I am giving some exeei ' i)ts From the book in the hope that they uiay interest my readers: Isn ' t it .iust like what we get at home, (iervas? The voiee was unmis- takably very feminine and very American. The latter caused me to turn and stare most impolitely at my country woman. Who could think that I should meet Elenor Cooper, now the wife of the Uritisli Amba.ssador, in a Fi-ench Tea Garden? On entering this particular garden 1 had noticed something familiar about the proprietess, and upon looking again 1 surely .saw Helen J:iaruody. about the proprietess, and upon looking again I surely saw Helen Haroody. icans, and her shop was truly American in style. As I left the Tea-Garden I passed a stout nuitron who called me by name — Helen IcCabe! Hei- habit of eating sweets and pastiies had claimed her for its own. Having spoken to her, I hurried on to attend a show at the La Parisien Shop. When I reached the shop I secured a good place from which I could see the beautiful models. There was the gown I wanted — orchid and silver — if it were — Someone tapped me on the shoulder, Mary Hopkins! Conversation and explanations followed. Mary was now travelling, preparatory to settling down in Bethlehem, where she had investments in a steel corporation. ' You have seen Mary McAndrews? ' she asketl. She is employed here as a model, and Helen Althouse is head designer. They run their shop in con- junction with Herbert Weir, the famous costume designer, all of whose designs originated from the paisley scarf he iised to wear at Normal. ' She led me c|uiekly to the rear of the shop where I met Mary McAndrew. From them I learned that Mary Giarth was in Madrid ; that I Iary Hartman was a professor in the College at West Chester; that Professor Bobliy Hammond was inter- nationally known as a brilliant debater. Time passed. A glance at my watch told me that I must go; I left them, reluctantly. The next evening I was in Monte Carlo ready to see the much talked of ' night life. ' Although our party started early, we were delayed considerably by the dense crowds which thronged the streets; most of the people were going to the theare where La Belle Americaine. JIademoiselle G. ilullady was acting. At last, we reached the Casino. In our short stay we saw Beavey Garden break the hank; ' Carol Barber lost her entire year ' s salary at one turn of the wheel ; she was attended by Doctor Orrison Wike. My last day in France I spent in visiting art galleries at Paris. Here we saw an exhibition of Margaret Moore ' s painting. Later in the day we met a group of lawyers among whom I recognized James Dissinger. Harold Ebert, and James Dnheney ; they informed us that the famous falsetto singer. Palmer Cooper, wiis now apiiearing in Paris. Page Tv- ' o Hundred Ten [the 1QZ3 serpentine] ' You will, no doubt be interested in hearing of some of our former class- mates whom I met in South America. We put into port at a West Indian Is- land, the name of which I do not remember. As our boat neared shore the native divers swam around it, diving for the coins which we tossed overboard. I noticed among the crowd a maiden so unlike the rest that she immediately at- tracted m.v attention. Imagine my surprise at seeing Anna Barr ! Apparently, she was as youthful as ever; she must have discovered the Fountain of Youth wiiich old Ponce de Leon failed to locate. While in Buenos Aires I heard there was to be an American opera given at one of the theatres. Naturally I was interested and procured a ticket for it. I sat through the performance in a daze — the prima donna was Florence Kep- ner; she sang music composed by Martha Rhoades! . . . The next day as T was strolling leisurely along one of the many beautiful streets, I noticed an Amer- ican woman dressed in rather mannish clothes, walking rapidly toward me. I reeognizefl Clara Day. She told me that she held a government position, and that Ruth Garrett and Ellen Stul)y were doing graduate work at the Univer- sit.v. I think Clara is well suited to her field of work, for you remember what a student councillor she made. l met an American poetess — 1 should have said fix American i)oetess — in Santiago; sli is Annie Jones. She was traveling in South America. From her I learned that Mary Barry owned Scranton ' s most progressive laee curtain mill. Do you remember Ada Diehl? I have not as yet seen her but I hear that she is the organizer of a research society, the members of which are investigating certain ruins in Peru. Harvey Hoffman is financing the expedition. I recently took a .journey to Trinidad where Catherine Ilahn has founded a school for or[)lian native ciiildren. On my return to Rio de .Tanerio I thought I had seen all of my friends, but I discovered that tiie wife of the ship ' s captain — I returned on the steamship Yuea — was our own Marie Wheeler. Even I, in this far-off corner of Australia occasionally hear of our class- mates. Fortunately, because of my recent tour of America, 1 am better in- formed than I might otherwise be. In New York I met Jimmie Bond, owner of a few thousand taxicabs, Ruel Smith inventor of the safe .safety-pin; Esther Baldwin, who is teaching auto suggestions by music at A ' ineland. New Jei ' sey, and Mae Jacobs who is a settlement worker. I saw placards which bore the in- scription, ' Vote for Katharine Barrett for Congress. ' I went to Washington especially to see Vice President Robert S. Ander- son. From him I learned much about our class-mates: Anthony Theodore Sad- owski had founded a school of aesthetic dancing at Baltimore ;; Mr. (Jeorge McKee is the well-known Senator from California — it is understood that his wife, nee Louise McMorran. will be a candidate for the presidency of the United States in the next election. On a list of authorities on agriculture I found the names of Margaret McNair and Ethel Dixon who own the best e(|uipi)ed poultry farm in America. I have nothing more to tell you except that the season ' s best seller is — as you alread.N ' know — To Dye or not to Dye, ' written by Miss Maud Vipond, Mr. Joseph Ponte, and IMiss Flora Campbell. There is but one word left for me. as editor of this book, to say: It will be dedicated to Irene Reynolds, Dean of Women at the West Chester College.
