THE BIZARRE
Of LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
Being a Remembrance Book of The Year
Compiled by the Bizarre Staff and Published by the
Junior Class of 1907
IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD MCMVI.
Volume The Eighth
To
HON. WILLIAM H. ULRICH,
An Honored Citizen,
And President of the
Trustee Board of Lebanon Valley College,
We Dedicate Our Book,
ALMA MATER
COLLEGE beloved, to thy dear name we raise
In glad delight our loyal song of praise ;
Thy sons and daughters worthy would we be,
Forever blessing and adorning thee.
In this our singing at thy sacred door
We classmen proudly pledge forevermore,
( >ur minds and hearts to thine unending good,
Who long in trial hath so bravely stood.
We'll shout thy name in triumph loud and far,
We'll roll thy burdens past the farthest star,
We'll help thee yearly to more honored place,
O alma mater, blest and fair of face.
May God unite us with his good control
And make us truer, wiser, sure-of-soul,
That we may keep unfaltering evermore
The pledge we're singing at thy sacred door !
— N. C. Schlichter.
Hon, William H, Ulrich
ON. William H. Ulrich was born in Lower Swatara township,
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, June 7, 1884. His parents
belonged to that thrifty class of citizens the Pennsylvania
agriculturists. He was thus at once placed in an environ-
ment of practical affairs in which he has distinguished himself and
honored his county and parents.
He was educated in the common school and in the Middletown
Academy. A keen intellect and generous nature made him popular
among his fellow students and college authorities. When he left he
carried with him not only a diploma but the regard and respect of
the faculty to the extent that when a vacancy in the faculty occurred
he was chosen to fill it. Graduates attest his ability.
After nine years spent in the teaching profession he turned his
attention to civil engineering and for over twenty years this was to
him a pleasant task the memories of which were brought to his mind
recently while running a line surveyed forty-three years ago.
Unbounded pluck, energy and sterling manhood have characterized
the years of his business life. Pine buildings in this and other
states and Washington, D. C, witness his business foresight and
ability in making " Brown Stone " yield him revenues. His quaries
are the largest in the State. His business ability and integrity made
him cashier of the Farmers' Bank of Hummelstown.
When the call came for a straightforward, conscientious man of
known ability to represent their interests in the Legislature, we do
not wonder that the citizens turned to him. His terms of service
tell how well he discharged his duties in the interest of his constitu-
ents. The prominent positions on boards and committees attest the
esteem in which he was held by the House.
For six years he was Prothonotary and Clerk of Court of Quar-
ter Sessions. He was also one of the state commissioners to the St.
Louis Exposition. Along with other duties he is Clerk of the Board
of County Commissioners and Secretary of the Board of Prison In-
spectors of Dauphin County.
He was elected Trustee of Lebanon Valley College and at once
became President of the Board. To the administration and interests
of the college he has been a loyal friend. It is not surprising that
this man successful in life and a friend to the institution, holds a
warm place in our hearts, and that the Class of 1907 dedicates their
annual to him.

NCE in the history of each class comes the time
when it is their duty to produce some fitting
memorial of their college days. We herewith
present our contribution to our college history, the
result of honest toil and industrious labor. It has been
the object of the editors to treat all fairly and to produce
a book that will be both instructive and entertaining.
Had you been eggs we could have handled you with no
greater care. Vos amamus o>?uics. We acknowledge our

History
IEWED prospectively the four years of the college course
seem very long to the Freshman, but viewed retrospectively
by the Senior, they seem very, very short. It seems but
yesterday that we were Freshman and the four years have
passed by so quickly that we can hardly realize that our college
course is behind us and not before us. Yet, although those four
years have flown so rapidly yet they have been pleasant, busy years
for us: years in which we have builded into body, mind and especi-
ally into character the best things of our college life.
Taking in turn the burden handed down by preceeding classes
we have tried to give of ourselves, of our own strength, our best to
the services and duties which must come to every class in the busy
activities of college life. We would be a poor class if we had re-
ceived everything and had given nothing. Whenever called upon
to fill any place; in any place of college activity, we have striven to
fill that place well; to fill it worthily. We believe that our efforts
have been crowned with success. Failures have come to us to be
sure but we have tried always to overcome the obstacles which have
come into our path. We have striven to over turn such obstacles and
then have stood upon them and have reached up and got a grip on
higher and better things.
We are proud of our record. During our college generation we
have seen great changes occur in the life of the college, times of
apparent failure and times of sure success. Through it all however
our class has always been loyal and true to our alma mater and we
are sure that we have not been found wanting in any respect.
But our college carrier is a thing of yesterday, and tomorrow
we take our places as alumni of Lebanon Valley College. We are
sure that we will be just as faithful to our duties then, just as true
to our ideals, just as high in our purposes as we were during our
college days. We have "sown" good "seed" during our college
course and we feel confidant that a glorious ' ' reaping " will be ours
tomorrow when we take our places in the busy world beyond the
college walls. No matter where we may go however we are sure
that you will with us always honor the " brown and gold" and will
always thing kindly of the class of nineteen hundred and six.

POEM
Four years of colleg'e life are o'er.
At dear old L. V.C.
And the plaoe'll seem no more,
As it used to be.
As we look back into the past,
And see what we have won,
And how we reached the goal at last,
We're proud of all we've done.
Our work, while here at L. V. C.
We look back to with pride,
We've done so much in classes,
And very much beside.
We go into the active life.
In many fields they'll find us,
And Hope that in the future years,
Some result will stay behind us.
Our Colleg'e days, their cares and joys,
We look back to with pleasure,
The time we spent among girls and boys,
We always will remember.
And as we leave the dear old College,
We leave with happy hearts,
And having gained a little knowledg-e,
We leave for strang-er parts.

added to our roll. Although she had
missed a semester's work, she took an
optimistic view of it and decided what
she couldn't do one year she would the
next. She was born at Shamokin, in
1883 and after graduating from the
Shamokin High school, she took post
graduate work preparatory to entering
college. One of her favorite occupa-
tions is making fudge and crackerjack
for her class brothers and — and one
other. She is a member of the Student
Volunteer Band and is president of the
girls' Literaiy Society. She is the
" most original girl " in College.
WILLIAM EBY HERR, P. L. S.
Annville, Pa.
William Eby Herrwas born at Ann-
ville in the year 1884. After finishing
his preparatory work in the Lebanon
Valley Academy, he entered the college
department the fall of 1902. Every-
thing that he does he does to the best
of his knowledge and ability. He is
ever one of the most loyal, the most
indiscreet and the most gallant of the
sons of 1907. His motto for life at
present seems to be, To dance where'er
I can and when I cannot dance to talk
of it. There are two things strangely
contradictory about him. First what
he does not know is hard to tell him,
and what he does know, everybody else
knows. He is an enthusiastic member
of the Glee Club and has never been
known to refuse any one a favor and
performs many unsought kindnesses.
To him the class of 1907 owes one of
the most pleasant evenings ever spent
by them as a class.

JOHN FREDERICK MILLER,
K. L. S.
Dayton, Ohio.
Looks are sometimes deceiving, so
do not judge Freddie by his picture for
on that occasion, he wore his Sunday
face. His sober face, has won for
him the name "Rabbi Fred," but
faces are oftimes a mask and so it is
in Freddie's case. He is a very ac-
complished young man, he is skillful
in using the typewriter, can give
splendid Indian yells, which he learned
during his residence in Iowa. But the
best of all are his soprano solos, which
have charmed many select audiences.
He was born at Chambersburg, July 23,
1883 but since then he has lived in at
least four different states. Just how
he happened to turn up at Lebanon
Valley the fall of 1902 is hard to tell,
but it may have been because of those
before him, for he is the fourth Miller
to be enrolled at Lebanon Valley.
PARK FILMER ESBENSHADE,
P. L. S.
Bird-in-Hand, Pa.
Mr. Esbenshade began life contrary
to the rest of the world. He was born
in Paradise, May 19, 1883. However,
sometime during his boyhood days, his
family moved to the more earthly
place of Bird-in-Hand. After spend-
ing a year or so at Millersville State
Normal School he entered Lebanon
Valley Academy. He has always
fought valiantly for 1907 both by word
and by might, whenever necessary.
His hobbies are his mandolin and mod-
ern languages. He is the Dr. Jekyl
and Mr. Hyde of our class. When he's
"Espie,"he is not contented unless he
is tormenting some one but when he's
melancholy Jacques, then beware for
every one who comes within five feet
of him catches the blues. As manager
of the 1906 foot ball team, he is work-
ing hard to have a winning team.

EDWARD EMANUEL KNAUSS, Jr
K. L. S.
York, Pa.
Mr. Knauss was born October 30,
1886 at York, Pa. and after graduating
from the York High school, entered
Lebanon Valley. He has been one of
1907's most valiant sons, always ready
to face whatever may co i e, even defeat
if it is an honorable one. He has
taken an active part in all athletics
and this year has won his L. V. by
playing forward on the 'Varsity team.
As a member of the Forum staff he has
done his work faithfully. At home,
he is Edward, among the girls, Eddie,
the boys call him Ed and the "angry
mob" call him Siegel, so that you see
he has many names. Mr. Knauss has
belonged to the "Regulars" for three
years and is willing to testify that it
is the best organization around the place
in his opinion. As a cornetist, it is
his duty to lull the rest of the dormi-
tory to sleep with soft sweet lullabies.

CLOYD RAYMOND BENDER,
K. L. S.
Halifax, Pa.
By the downward turn of the corners
of his mouth, we would think him to
be a pessimist, but he is not, far from
it. The greatest pleasure in life for
him is to talk. It requires no effort
on his part, all that is needed is an
audience and then the words flow as
freely as a spring when the snows are
melting. He has never been known to
cram for an exam, but somehow or
other, he always gets through, just how
he does it is hard to tell. He was
born in July 4, 1883, and claims
Hagerstown, Md., as his birthplace.
He tried academy life at Lebanon Val-
ley and finding that the life was to his
taste decided to take a college course.
His favorite pastime is planning an
eloquent defense of the Democratic
party which is to arouse the hopes of
the faithful . At present his hardest
task is trying to establish the Forum
on a financial basis.

MARY ELIZABETH PEIFFER.
C. L. S.
Lebanon, Pa.
Miss Peiffer is one of "Zion's happy-
children" for she was born at Mount
Zion in the year 1884 A. D. At least
that is the date in the family Bible.
Because she comes from ' • Lebnon-up, ' '
you might think she is " Dutch," but
she isn't. "Pife" is always in for a
jolly good time, and even under the
most provoking circumstances, makes
the best of everything. "Once a
friend always a friend," has been her
motto from childhood, and for friend-
ship's sake she has fought many bat-
tles that were not her own. For this
she believes she will be rewarded some
day, and we think so too. She is one
of the Bizarre artists and is a specia-
list in the use of the camera.
JOHN HENRY SPRECHER, K. L. S.
Lebanon, Pa.
Mr. Sprecher was born on that vague, indescribable place a farm, near
Cleona. However, environment always influences a mans' life and those
early days of grubbing
for potatoes, must have
taught him how to grub
for Greek roots which
he does very success-
fully. He is the baby
of our class as he was
born on July 21, 1887
and besides this he is
also our bashful boy.
It has been said that he
grubs for Greek roots
but while he does it he
calls down, blessings on
the head of the man
who composed them.
As yet he has only made his debut in the social world as a single man, but
he is young yet and the years will tell.

ANN LUCILE MILLS, C. L. S.
Annville, Pa.
"Billee," who was born at Galin,
Ohio, Janary 5, 1885, has a roving dis-
position. During her life time she
has traveled over the greater part of
our nation, and has dwelt in at least
four different states. The class of '06
have styled her "the most popular
girl" at Lebanon Valley, and the truth
of this is pretty clearly established by
a long line of "ex-bishops. " Many a
heart has been gladdened by her voice,
for "Billee" is the best singer of our
girls. She is a senior in music this
year, and we regret very much that we
will lose her from 'our number next
year. However, we wish her happi-
ness and success at Mt. Holyoke.
AMOS WALLICK HERRMAN,
P. L. S.
Red Lion, Pa.
Mr. Herrman was born February 24,
1885 at Red Lion, Pa., and after ser-
ving three years as a reporter and after
graduating from the York Colleigate
Intsitute, he entered Lebanon Valley,
the fall of 1903. His nickname as
Kaiser probably originated from the
same source as
"Here comes the mighty A~os Herr-
man
With blood and thunder in his eyes."
He had many hair breadth escapes
as reporter of the York Gazette and
one of the least of these was a single
handed encounter with a York County
highway robber. His politics are
Democratic for he was born and raised
a Democrat in a Democratic stronghold
of a Democratic County. It is but
fitting and proper that a man of such
a fighting dispoistion and of such pro-
nounced views should win for himself
the position of center on the 'Varsity
foot ball team. As editor of the
Forum, we wish him success.

JOHN BALMER SHOWERS,
P. L. S.
Bradford, Pa.
Mr. Showers, our brother from over
the way is not a free born American
citizen but claims Paris, Ontario as his
birthplace and 1882 as his birth year.
Although his loyalty to Uncle Sam
might be questioned as he has only
dwelt under the Stars and Stripes since
1900, yet we feel sure that his loyalty
to the crimson and steel cannot be.
He received his preparatory training
at Gait Collegiate Institute. He en-
tered the present class in the fall of
'04, and has always ranked with the
foremost of the class. Mr. Showers
is not only an able student, but also
takes a great interest in the promotion
of athletics. At present he is Presi-
dent of the Athletic Association. He
is ever ready with his joke or quick
retort to any question put to him. As
a speaker he is winning and eloquent,
as the Editor-in-chief of the Bizarre
this book attests his ability.
ELIAS MARTIN GEHR, P. L. S.
Cedar Lane, Pa.
Mr. Gehr is known better as "Roscoe" but just where this name originated
is uncertain however there may be some connection with "Roscoe, the snake
eater" and Mr. Gehr's
insatiable appetite. He
is the dreamer of our
class and like many
other day dreamers, his
dreams change with the
years. In his Freshman
year, he dreamed of
going on the platform
as a temperance lectu-
rer; in his Sophomore
year, he saw himself
on a platform deliver-
ing a Shakespearean
lecture before a vast
audience; the dream of
his Junior year is to surpass Mansfield, and his Senior dream, well that is
not dreamed as yet. Mr. Gehr was born at Cedar Lane, September 8, 1£73
and after preparing in the L. V. Academy, he entered the college department.
He has always been interested in athletics of all kinds and has always used
his influence for g-ood and in consideration of this, has been elected President
of the Y. M. C. A.

History
NOTHER year has flown swiftly by and but one year lies
between us and our life work. All too swiftly have the
years passed and all too soon wTill our College days be ended
and then the troubles of today will be trivial things and
our pleasures, only happy memories.
How far away the year 1907 seemed, and how far above us the
Juniors seemed when we were Freshman. Now7 it seems ages ago
since we had our first color rush, and since we played the class of
1906 in base ball, but in reality it was but three years ago.
There were a great many things which happened during our
Sophomore year but among other pleasant things to remember, two
of the most pleasant are the evenings spent at the home of Will
Herr and Max Lehman. The evening Mr. Herr entertained us,
never were Sophomores more gallantly conducted te a feast. The
Freshman acted as our boby guard and instead of carrying us away
rom the feast, they conducted us to it. There is no telling what
their motive was but everything seems to prove that they feared
we had not told them the right place.
Then few of our boys will never forget the night they slept on
the foundation of the Administration Building and on the library
tables, but, however, the long, sleepless night was repaid, for, when
morning came no posters were in sight anywhere, except two below
the Freshmen girl's windows, in the girl's dormitory and they
suffered the fate of the others.
Our base ball schedules, last spring, were an innovation and
that it was a good example is shown by the class of 1908, with their
football schedule and the class of 1909 with their baseball schedule
following our example.
So far our Junior year has been the busiest one of our college
course, but the busier we are and the harder we work, the more
we enjoy our play hours, which make the days of our college course
the happiest ones of our lives. Our Junior year is marked by twoprin-
cipal events, our bauquet which wTas held at the Colonial Hotel,
Lebanon and where we all spent a pleasant evening, and the giving
of Sheridans, " The Rivals." We are the first Junior Class of Leb-
anon Valley to give a play and so worked hard to make it a success.
There are so many things that a class can do which will keep up
the spirit of good fellowship and there is nothing so pleasant as to
look back into the past and think of the many happy hours spent
together so let us as class fill the next year and a half with many
pleasant memories. The poet has sung, " that a sorrom's crime of
sorrow is remembering happier things;" this may be true but it is
for us to make our schooldays such that though we may regret that
they are gone, yet we will ever be glad that they have been.

POEM
AS I mused on time in its flight,
Three years of sunshine and gladness,
Like the day by darkness of night,
O'ershadowed was I by sadness.
But why dwell o'ermuch on sorrows ?
Earth was not made a home for gloom ;
Time ever has blissful tomorrow's
Bury the past in memory's tomb.
Eulogize fair victories won,
In faithful search to know the truth,
By Crimson and Steel. 'Nobly well done"
Thy Master's word, " excellent youth ! "
Our brave and honest teachers taught,
Envy not who by chance may rise
To dizzy heights of fame, unwrought,
Those who work gain the worthy prize.
Our hearts beat true for L. V. C.
Like the deep stream's, calm, endless flow,
With faith, and constant loyalty
Our love for her no end shall know.
When the last school day's work is done
Dear college ties we then must sever.
Soon, ah, too soon ! that time will come
Though we part the world to better.

History
N casting about for some appropriate quotation with which to
begin this "eventful history," the writer first thought of
" Arrna virurnque cano." This, however, was abandoned
as too classical, for the spirit of '08 has always been
essentially modern.
Our class motto, although classic in form has the modern idea
of " preparation " in it. So " Ad omnia parati," or in other words
" semper parati " fto which the professors can testify) seemed after
all to be the best line with which to introduce the history of a class
which has always been progressive in all its undertakings.
Somewhat more than a year ago a score of young ladies and
young men entered the class lists at L. V. C. and threw down the
orange and blue glove to the class of '07. The class fight which fol-
lowed was short and " sweet " and ended in a decided victory for '08.
The next great event was the Sophomhre — Freshman foot ball
game, of which, the score — 29 to 0 — demonstrated that we had been
true to our motto and were well " prepared." We also defeated the
Sophomores in basket ball.
Then came the class sleigh ride and the Sophomores vainly
attemped to keep some of our members away.
The days slipped away to Commencement, while our base ball
challenge remained " on the table" in the Sophomore class minutes.
So our Freshman year ended, and we parted, full of hope, on the
threshold of our Sophomore year.
This year we lost eight of our members and gained only one.
But although we missed them sadly, our spirit was nothing daunted,
and with the same enthusiasm of the year befox-e, we entered and
won the foot ball game with the Freshmen. Later on we defeated
'09 in basket ball therebp winning our fourth consecutive victory in
class athletics.
In the winter term we challenged the other classes to debating
contests and so we can claim the honor of starting inter-class debat-
ing at L. V. C.
We as a class have always believed in spirit, — not in " waiting
until the spirit moves us," but in meeting it half way or even more.
We believe in class spirit as inducing and increasing college spirit.
And so we have entex*ed evexything with spirit and are well x*epre-
sented in the vaxuous activities of the college. In athletics, we have
membei\s on the vax'sity foot ball, basket ball and base ball teams.
We ax-e well x-epresented in the Literary Society, in the Christian
Association, on the Forum Staff, and at the social functions in the
college.
And so we remain at the end of our Sophmore year, always
pi'epared to try to do our best and to be an honor to old L. V.
•■
POEM
THIS year has been a happy one
Spent here at L. V. C.
O, may the years now coming on
As Joyous ever be.
Although in number rather small
Thirteen in all are we,
Yet we are loj'al to our class
And true as we can be.
In all the things that we have done,
We've tried to do our best
And always will do just the same
When we're put to the test.
For many virtues do we have
And vices but a few,
And where there's any work for us
We're always there to do.
"Ad Omnia Parati " May
Our motto ever be,
For we will always strive to do
The best at L. V. C.
O, may we ever loyal be
And just as truly great.
O, may the richest blessings
In life's path us await.
And Thou who knowest all we do
Reserve Thy richest fate,
For us as on throug'h life we go,
The Class of Nineteen Eight.

History
HE CLASS of 1909 made its initial appearance at the Sep-
tember reception for new students. The next three weeks
of its existence were occupied in listening to plans for a new
kind of class rush invented by the Sophomores. These
plans provided that the entire Sophomore class should fight a small
portion of the Freshman class, thus, — as the Sophomores said, —
preventing the injury of a great many Freshmen. The name of
this rush, spelt 'cam,' pronounced ' cane,' was not the least part of
their invention. The plans came to naught, as did the inventors a
short time after, when the Freshmen stopped them while trying to
emit their rather colicy yell just before chapel services.
The Freshman numerals were painted everywhere about the
campus as well as on the heat plant stack next day. Just as the
work on the stack was about completed, three drowsy, unmasked,
half dressed Sophomores gathered at its base and warmed the chill
morning air with their threats of dire punishment. As usual, the
Freshmen were disappointed when they expected trouble.
In November, the Freshmen challenged the Sophomores to a
ootball game. To induce the Sophomores to play, the Freshmen
gave them a team composed of almost evei-ything but Juniors and
the Faculty. Even then the Sophomores refused to play on the day
of the game, only playing when forced to by their Senior Cousins.
The Freshmen practised for the game, hindered by much.
They entered the game with a few men who had only been given
permission to play the day before, and so, were inexperienced, and
lacking some experienced men because of injury received in practice.
The Sophomores won by the score of five to nothing.
This is our history — short we know yet the essence of all things
glorious. We have always strived to attain the ideal expressed in
our motto and never has anyone approached nearer his ideal than
we have done. Our misfortunes, by contrast, can but show how
brilliant our successes ax-e. The future of our class cannot dim the
glory of its past for it is provided for by members united by love
and loyalty for Lebanon Valley and for the brown and blue.

POEM
HERE to these halls of L. V. C.
Have gathered our members bright,
That they might all some knowledge learn
To be their guide and shining light.
In all departments of the school
Not one will shirk his share or part,
All work no matter of what sort
Each takes it up with all his heart.
' ' Semper cupidi ad summum ' '
Is our motto for the morrow,
May it ever lead us onward
In Life's pathway free from sorrow.
Our members at all times have been
To our colors tried and true,
Let us hope, our hearts forever
Will be loyal to Brown and Blue.
Thus, under our banner and motto
In earnestness as well as in fun,
We're gradually taking tne lead
And always to be found in the run.
Soon one bright year's work is ended,
Then we enter on another,
Which we desire may for us hold
Greater successes than the other.
And now Good Fortune ns remember,
And the smiling face of Father Time
Look with brightest favor on ns,
We the class of nineteen nine.

History
HE life of the music class of 1906 is very short and even
though we have attained to the dignity of Seniors, yet we
are in our infancy as far as class organization is concerned.
On a memorable day in November 1905 nine girls gathered
together in the Conservatory to do homage to our one gentleman by
conferring upon him the honor of being our President. He is tall
and dignified and carries his honor well.
Our life has flowed along peacefully among sweet and harmoni-
ous sounds, and with Shakespeare we truly believe that
" The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils."
Therefore we have always been loyal to our class and the insti-
tution, have never plotted against any one, not even the "Death
League," and never made a raid into a student's room for spoils.
Let us end as peacefully as we have begun and go out to our
places in the world with hearts ever true to our motto and our
Alma Mater.
POEM
Music, soul of every art,
What can bid our fears depart;
What can cheer a saddened heart,
Like thyself.
Rhythm that can melt our tears,
Harmony of all the spheres,
Memories of ancient years
Sounding' still.
We have tried our lives to fill,
And into our hearts instil
Melodies and strains that will
Never die.
When we leave these classic walls,
And these dearly cherished halls,
Where we feel that duty calls,
Let us go.
And behind us let us leave
Naug-ht for which we ought to grieve,
Only pleasant thoughts receive
In our lives.
Then as through the world we pass
We can feel that we surpass
All not members of our class,
Nineteen Six !

The Christian Associations
==33 T HAS now come to be universally recognized that the
Christian College represents the true idea in education, in
which the highest scientific and classical culture is associated
with the study of the Bible. Dr. Scot Butler says: " Because
I believe that secular education never has made and never will
make the world morally one whit better; because I believe that
mental stimulation is not sufficient for moral growth and develop-
ment; because I believe in the words of Archbishop Ireland, that
morals, without religious principles, do not exist, therefore I hesi-
tate not to claim for our church colleges, that, among the higher edu-
cational institutions of our country, they are the conservators and the
only conservators of genuine morality." Our college seeks to main-
tain her ideal, " The development of the entire man."
To this end two Associations have been formed, the Y. W. C. A.
and Y. M. C. A. Just how much these have meant to the College in
general and to the students especially cannot be estimated. Their
helpfulness has been particularly felt during this year, many
students testifying thereto. The result has been that a number
have joined the Volunteer Band thus declaring their purpose to give
their lives to the foreign work.
These Vssociation meetings are supplemented by our Tuesday
evening prayermeetings. These have been well attended. This
hour to many, is the most previous of the week.
The Y. W. C. A. has had a very successful year under Pres.
Harnish's Administration. A larger number of ladies being in
college this year has increased the attendance at the meetings.
Two delegates as usual were sent to Silver Bay-Misses King and
Myers.
Through the loss of our old dormitory the boys were scattered
over the town. This made it difficult for many to attend the Y. M.
C. A. meetings. However the records show that we have reached
the standard of last year and in some departments an increase.
Three men were sent to northfleld; R. E. Morgan, J. W. Kaufmann,
M. Hoover.
This year delegates were also sent to the Student Volunteer
Convention held in Nashville Tenn — M. O. Billow and J. B.
Showers. This was the largest convention in the history of the
movement. Seven hundred institutions were represented; The
total number delegates, students and Professors was 4188. An
offering of $80,000 was made for Missions.
Our Y. M. C. A. was ably represented at the Seventh District
convention by Messrs S. H. Waughtel and E. E. Snyder.
The Associations were helped greatly by the visits of the state
secretaries — Miss Thurston and Miss Brinkerhoff to the Y. W. C. A.
and Mr. W. J. Miller to the Y. M. C. A. The Volunteer movement
among our students received a great impetus through the devotion
and consecration of Representative McCombs of the Volunteer
movement. Two inspiring addresses were also delivered by Dr.
Hurlburt of India formerly instructor of Lebanon Valley College-
A special week of Evangelistic Services were held under the
direction of Rev. E. S. Bowman, Pastor of Memorial U. B. Church,
Harrisburg, Pa. The opinion expressed by the majority was, that
no one has conducted these yearly meetings whose addresses were
more inspiring and helpful than his, the seed sown by this Servant
of God will no doubt bring forth fruit an hundred fold. The
Association will gladly welcome Rev. Bowman to their midst when-
ever he is able to visit them.
The term receptions to new students is the distinctly social
feature of the association work. Here all barriers are broken down
and students mingle as equals. They become acquainted with one
another and friends are found to whom one can go in hours of
discouragement and trial.
The Star Course under the auspices of the two Associations was
the best in the history of the Institution. The numbers were varied
appealing to all classes and enjoyed by all.

CAPTAIN Maxwell faced this year's schedule with practically a
new team. Some of the '04 team were graduated and others
left the College. With this team the hardest schedule in the
history of the college was tackled, in some cases effectively and in
others unsuccessfully.
Much credit for our good showing was due to the untiring
efforts of Coach Taggart, who came to us from Rochester Univers-
ity. Considering the new men and the stiff schedule coach Taggart
and Manager Spangler are to be congratulated upon the good show-
ing of the team. A larger per cent of victories stand to the credit
of this years squad than that of last years.

BASKET BALL
THE BASKET Ball season was opened rather late because of
a necessary chance in the schedule, the manager having
arranged to play most of the games in Lebanon. The first schedule
twenty-four games, ten games were to be played here. This
schedule was cancelled but a new one arranged in which most of
the games were away from home.
The team played consistent ball, and was composed entirely of
students in good standing. The work was commendable considering
the conditions under which they played and the strength of their
opponents.
A coach and a suitable place to practise in is what Lebanon
Valley must have before they can expect to send out winning teams.
There was plenty of basket ball material here but little develop-
ment can be secured by playing every aftern°on in the small cage
of the Town Hall.
We hope some philanthropic gentleman will build a gymnasium
for Lebanon Valley College in the near future.
BASE BALL
Tyr HEN IN the course of the year the beautiful season of Spring
W comes bringing with it the weather for our national sport
base ball, every player of some ability is anxious to get out on the
athletic field and loosen up his arm. Baseball is a game which
requires not weight and muscle but alacrity, a fellow can not be
developed and taught to play the game in a short time as is the
case in foot ball, but he must have a great deal of practice. This
is invariably the solution of the apparent weakness of our team
during the early part of the season.
Since we have no gymnasium the players must wait each Spring
for fair weather before they can get any practice. If we would
have the advantage of indoor practice during the winter months we
could make a considerable better showing in the early part of the
season. As can be seen by the scores we lost the majority of our
games in the beginning of the season as is always the case. Until
the team has played about half the schedule it is not in good condi-
tion to compete with other teams.
The team on the whole however did creditable playing, especi-
ally against York team being able to hold them down to one run.

EZEKIEL B. KEPHART
A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
ZEKIEL BORING KEPHART was born November 6, 1834,
in Decatur Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.
He was the fifth child and second son of Rev. Henry and
Sarah Goss Kephart, his father being a local preacher in
the church of the United Brethren in Christ. At the time of his
birth Clearfield County was a sparsley- settled wilderness, and his
parents' mountain cabin was a home and a preaching- place for the
pioneer itinerant preachers of the above-named church. His par-
ents, soon after marriage in 1826, betook themselves to the great
task of clearing out a mountain farm on which were born their sev-
en sons and six daughters, all of whom, save one son and one
daughter grew to manhood and womanhood.
His early educational advantages were quite meager, being only
such as the crude public school of three months each winter afforded.
The life of his childhood and youth was spent in toil with his father
and brothers clearing out and cultivating the rough mountain farm,
working on the sawmill, at lumbering, and at rafting on the
Clearfield Creek and the Susquehanna River. In this way, and
after he attained to his majority, he earned the money with which to
educate himself.
He was converted the fall of 1851. It was at a campmeeting
in September, held near what is now known as Bigler, Clearfield
County, Pa., that he went to the altar as a seeker and before the
meeting closed joined the Church; but it was two or three weeks
later while plowing in the field that he received complete assurance
of his acceptance with Christ, and he said that he then and there
stopped his team, and exclaimed to himself, "Well, how very easy it
is to come to Christ," and said that he felt at once that he must go
everywhere and tell the people how easy it is to become a Christian.
From that time on, his heart was set on giving his life to preaching
the gospel, and he began to plan for securing the necessary educa-
tional qualification.
In August, 1856, he with his older brother, entered Dickinson
Seminary, Williamsport, Pa. In November they returned home and
taught school, rafted during the spring freshets of 1857, and in May
of the same year entered Mount Pleasant College. In the succeeding
fall, that school having been united with Otterbein University, they
with several other of their fellow students, among them Dr. Daniel
Eberly, entered that institution. In 1858, for want of money he
quit school, and received quarterly conference license to preach.
In January, 1859, he was received into Allegheny Conference at
Altoona, Pa., as a licenctiate and was assigned to a charge in Jeffer-
son County, Pa. In January, 1860, he was assigned to Johnstown
Station, and on November 4, of that year, was marz'ied to Miss Susan
J. Trefts of that city. Having been appointed by the Board of
Missions to go to Oregon as a missionary, he was ordained January,
1861, at the conference session held at Greensburg, Pa., but the
breaking out of the Civil War so unsettled things financially and
otherwise, that his appointment as missionary was recalled, and he
was assigned to Altoona, Pa., as pastor. This charge he served,
very successfully, two years, and was then assigned to Greensburg.
During all this time he was diligently pursuing his studies, and in
186-t he reentered Otterbein University from which he graduated in
1865. He then became principal of the Michigan Collegiate Institute
at Leoni, Mich. , and served as such one year. Prom 1866 till the fall
of 1868 he was again in the active pastoral work in Allegheny Con-
ference, when he was called to the Presidency of Western College,
in Iowa, in which station he served most faithfully thirteen years.
During that time his Alma Mater conferred on him the degree of
D. D. , and later, Lebanon Valley College gave him the degree of
Doctor of Laws. He also served as Senator in the Iowa legislature,
from 1872 to 1876. In May, 1881, the General Conference, then in
session at Lisbon, Iowa, elected him Bishop. In this relation he
served twenty-fonr years, when the General Conference of last May,
in session at Topeka, Kan., made him Bishop Emeritus and retired
him on half pay, he having requested that he be relieved from the
burdens and responsibilities of the active Bishopric.
He died very suddenly of heart failure, in the office of Mr. W.L.
Elder, Indianapolis, Ind., January 24, 1906, aged 71 years, 2 months,
and 18 days.
Thus rounded up, unexpectebly as in a moment his very active,
useful life of toil in the Lord's service — a noble example of exalted >
Christian manhood. He was the father of two sons and two daugh-
ters. Oue son, Waldo, his first child died at Western College, Iowa,
January 17, 1869, aged nearly seven years. The other boy died in
1866, aged six months. He leaves living two daughters — Mrs Doctor
H. U. Roop and Mrs. Doctor L. P. John. Three grand-sons and two
grand- daughters.
He also leaves living, three brothers : Dr' I. L. Kephart, editor
of the Religious Telescope ; Mr. John H. Kephart, a prosperous
farmer of Shueyville, Iowa ; and Dr. C. J. Kephart, President of the
Leander Clark College — formerly Western College, Iowa — and two
sisters ; Mrs. Barbara Albert of Shueyville, Iowa, and Mrs. Belle
Jeffries of St. Lawrence, South Dakota.
LITERARY
The Greater Lebanon Valley
HE higher Christian education has always been an essential
feature of the Church of Christ. During all the centuries
the church has had her schools and Universities for the
training of men to meet the responsibilities of the higher
callings in life. Each denomination has wisely endeavored to pro-
vide the higher culture for her own young people. In harmony with
this thought the Church of the United Brethren in Christ founded
Lebanon Valley College which has furnished for the past forty years
a high standard of Christian culture for her young people in
the East.
The College cannot be excelled for beauty and healthfulness of
location. The beautiful Lebanon Valley is one of the most charming
and attractive sections of the state, and Annville is the Queen of the
towns of the valley. Here is where Lebanon Valley College opened
in 1866 with humble beginnings, though with charter privileges for
University needs.
The former Annville Academy was the first building owned and
until 1905 was occupied as a Ladies' dormitory. The chapel and one
wing of the main building was erected in 1867. These two buildings,
and a small frame structure afterwards removed from the campus,
were the only ones the College possessed until 1899.
The real growth and development of the College has occurred
during the last ten years. The Engle Conservatoi-y of Music was
erected in '98- '99. This is a beautiful brownstone building of Cor-
inthian Architecture providing Director's office, Auditorium, Practice
Rooms, Society Hall and Art Room.
The gift for the Andrew Carnegie Library building was secured
in February '04. The following year an elegant structure of the
Italian Renaissance Style of Architecture was erected in which are
contained the library stack room, reading rooms, auditorium, libra-
rian's office and Seminar rooms for department work.
The Administration building was doubled in size in 1900 of which
Dr. Eberly says : " This enlarged and beautified its splendid appear-
ance, engendered emotions of gratitude within our hearts and we felt
that the spacious edifice was an honor to us." But this beautiful
building with all its treasures was consumed by flames on the even-
ing of December 24, 1904.
This dreadful calamity struck terror into the hearts of many
friends of the college, but Dr.Roop, nothing daunted, visited Andrew
Carnegie three days after the fire and within a week from the loss
of the building he had the promise of $50,000 from the steel king
—120—
toward $100,000 for the rebuilding of a " Greater Lebanon Valley."
At once plans were drawn for a group of Modern College buildings
including an administration building for recitation purposes and col-
lege offices. A Men's Dormitory after the Oxford and Cambridge
style, a Science Hall and a central Heat and Light Plant. A New
Ladies' Dormitory, begun in 1904 was completed and occupied in the
fall of 1905. A gymnasium was promised by Maurice E. Brightbill,
wife and mother in 1903 and the Science Hall was provided for by a
gift of $25,000 from Alfred Cochran, of Dawson, Pa., in '05. Work
was begun upon the two latter buildings but for the present has been
suspended.
The Men's Dormitory is completed and occupied. The heat
plant has been in use since last fall. The Administration building
is nearing completion and is expected to be in readiness for the open-
ing in the fall of 1906. When all these buildings are completed we
will have an equipment equal to the best, the finest in the denomina-
tion and an honor to the cause of education.
On the educational side Lebanon Valley has wrought well. In
recent years her Courses of Study have been equal to the best, hav-
ing adopted the group system in vogue at Johns Hopkins Univers-
ity. The Classical, Philosophical, Chemical- Biological, Historical-
Political and Modern Language are the titles of the Groups, desig-
nating the particular subjects that are emphasized in each. There
is an adviser appointed for each group and all the departments are
in charge of competent instructors. There is no better school in the
State where young people may secure their college training, a libe-
ral Christian culture and the inspiration of high social, ethical and
educational ideals, under teachers who are scholarly and cultured
Christian men and women with whom they come in daily personal
contact.
Over four hundred young men and young women have been
graduated from the College. These all have gone forth to brighten
the dark places of earth and to bless humanity. Many others have
taken partial courses and received inspiration and helpfulness for
better service for their f ellowmen. Our graduates are found in high
places in all the professions and callings of life and as teachers they
occupy honored positions from Yale to the University of the Pacific.
Patrons of the College can do nothing better than to give the
opportunities of intellectual and moral training, which is the most
abiding inheritance, to their children.
Men of means can do nothing nobler than to transmute some of
their gold into lives of beauty, honor and power for the service of
God and man.
An Affectionate Tribute
r"T HE " pony " is my helper ; I shall not " flunk." He maketh me
to have good translations, and he leadeth me beside the foun-
tains of knowledge. He raiseth my grades and leadeth me in the
paths of knowledge for credit's sake. Yea, tho I plod thru the val-
leys of Latin and Greek, I fear no " exam " for he is with me. His
words and his truth, they comfort me. He prepareth my lessons
for me in the presence of my teachers. He crowneth my head
with glory and my grades run high. Surely, applause and greatness
shall follow me all the days of my life and the pony shall dwell in
my house forever.
'"T HE pony and the knowledge thereof is my own. The class and
they that recite therein use him. For he works single or dou-
ble and in the class-room as well as in my own room. Who can plod
thru the weary lines of Latin and Greek without his help, or who
can take his honored place '? He beareth correct translations and a
generous heart. He hath not consigned his soul to selfishness nor
translated wrongly. He shall receive my blessing for his useful-
ness, and my everlasting protection for his fidelity. This is the
generation of them that use thee, that seek thy aid, 0 pony. Lift
up thy head, O pony, for thou hast not been used too hard. Lift up
thy head, O pony, and thou, my king of translation, shall prove thy
usefulness. Who is this king of translation ? It is the pony, finely
printed and interlined, so handy in the time of need.
Student Life at L, V* G
HE student in college lives a varied life. He is or ought
to be, first of all, a student. The selection of his course is
left largely to himself and his own best judgment, conse-
quently at the very beginning of his course he is called
upon to use his powers of discretion. As the field of social, athletic,
literary and religious life opens to him he is enabled to develop and
use the power which a systematic course of study furnishes him as
a student. His participation in these student activities very largely
determines his future success in life.
At Lebanon Valley College there is ample opportunity for a
development of body, mind and spirit.
We do not have the most happy facilities for the coordinate
development of man's threefold being. To the credit of our student
body we can say however, that altho we do not have a well equipped
gymasium, the majority of the students have devised methods
whereby they secure physical development almost as help-ful.
The different athletic sports foot-ball, basket-ball and base-ball
have their adherents and the best recommendation they can offer is
that some of the best " all-round" fellows represent the college on
these varsity teams. Recently the college authorities decided to re-
place the destroyed courts in the New Athletic Field. Enthusiasts who
have not been fortunate to make the college teams usually compose
the reserve and second teams. Tennis has been somewhat inter-
fered with by the building operations, which have torn up the courts.
The literary societies, of which there are three, Clionian, Philo-
kosmian and Kalozetean, are probably the best agents, outside of
class-room work for the development of the students thinking
faculties. Every student ought to affiliate himself with one of these
organizations because of the opportunities for development they
afford.
The religious life of the school seems to be growing better each
year. There are, in every college, influences which to a certain
extent are harmful to the devotional life of the student but these are
at a minimum at Lebanon Valley. The excellent work of the young
Woman's and young Men's Christian Association and the mid week
.prayer services is noticeable in every department. Each class sends
a good percentage of its number to Theological schools, into the
regular ministry and other departments of Christian work.
Student life is a serious yet happy life and our attainments and
struggles with our failures and disappointments will soon be for-
gotten and we will then realize the seriousness of actual life.

NIGHTFALL IN THE WOODS
When the evening- shadows gather
Neath the trees upon the hill,
Then amidst the swaying tree-tops
Sound the voices soft and still.
Tis a murmur like the humming
Of a tired homesick bee,
And the languid leaves are drooping
One by one upon the tree.
Then the sturdy oak-tree father,
Stretching forth his sheltring arm,
Gathers in his sleepy children,
To protect them all from harm.
Then the shadows fall so softly
Like a coverlet so deep,
As the kindly pine-tree mother
Sings the little tree to sleep.

An Escapade
IRLS, I'm as hungry as can be " said Catherine to the
other three girls who were in the room and who in reply
started to sing ' ' So are we all of us. " ' ' Lets go down to
the restaurant," she pursued.
"Oh, bother, I'm too tired to go way down there. Lets do
something more exciting. Oh, say lets play some tricks on the
other girls," came from Grace Matson, the youngest of the four.
" What's the use of playing tricks they are all old anyway, and
that won't satisfy my appetite. Wasn't that supper awful, I only
ate a little bread and butter and some fruit. What do the rest of you
say about going down town?" continued Catherine, not to be turned
aside from her plan.
" I've got an idea," came from Martha Young's corner, "We
might visit the kitchen. "
" But that's all locked up and there's not a soul in the building
but us," said Catherine.
"Why so much the better, you goose, we can have everything
our own way, " came from Martha.
But I don't see how you can get in without breaking the door
in and I won't help do that."
" If we can't unlock the door, we can climb in the window," said
Martha who was as unwilling to give up her scheme as Catherine
was to give up hers.
" But the windows have screens over them " said Catherine, the
objector. I'm going to get in that kitchen if I break my neck " came
from the determined Martha.
" Don't break your neck, it's far to pretty, drawled May Eberly
from the cosey corner where until this moment she had been com-
fortably lying, then she continued, " Don't you remember the night
we wanted bread, the key was hanging beside the door and if it isn't
tonight, we might all take the keys to our rooms and surely one of
them will open it."
"Don't forget the shoebuttoner lock breakers always carry," but
poor Grace was interrupted by the other girls' laughter. "Uncle
Frank told me so and I'm going to take a shoebuttoner, so laugh all
you want to, if it amuses you."
Soon a procession of four excited girls stole swiftly down the
stair way.
The keys were tried in turn but not one would turn the stubborn
lock and Mother Allen had thought it best to draw the latch string
in. Even the shoebuttoner failed of its boasted charm.
" I feel just like saying something bad. I'm going to get in
the window," said Martha.
" The maids sometimes keep crackers in the dining room," said
Grace.
" Good for you child, hush, I thought I heard some one but its
all right. Come girls, we'll have to hurry." And Martha ran up the
steps lightly with the other three close behind her, but four pair of
eyes could not find something where there was nothing.
" Plague on it," said Catherine, half cross," if we'd have gone
down town we would have been back by now. What are you going to
do now?" turning to Martha who was examining the dumb waiters.
" If one of U5 cxald crawl up in that W3'd hive everything we want
to eat," as she pointed to the lower shelf of the dumb waiter.
Grace immediately began to examine another one. " Oh its
just the thing all these shelves can come out."
" I'll go down in one, because I'm the smallest, if some one will
go down in the other," said May Eberly.
" Its up to you, Grace; for you're next in size."
"Alright, who cares, such things only happen once in a life
time."
After the girls had fixed themselves as comfoi'table as possible
Grace suddenly exclaimed," What will we do if the doors are shut
below."
Don't fear they will be "was the assurance she received, and
then Catherine and Martha began slowly to enter the dumb waiters.
Everything was going well, when Martha heard a smothered
cry from grace, "Oh Martha quick, pull me up. I'm suffocating,
" May, oh, May."
But May, as it afterwards turned out, was busy searching the
pantry and thought of course that Grace was likewise employed in
searching the kitchen closets. Martha pulled as hard and as fast as
she could on the ropes but only succeeded in getting Grace half way
up and then the dumb waiter stuck. In vain she pulled and jerked.
From the dumb waiter came smothared cries, " I'm dying, Oh
Grace, May do save me, I'll be dead before I get out of here."
By this time May had finished her searching and was returning
to the dumb waiter in triumph, her arms filled with good things.
As she came out of the pantry she called, " Grace, Grace," but no
one answered and then to her amazement she saw that only one
shaft was open. When she neared the dumb waiter she heard
poor Grace's half smothered sobs. Quickly she opened the lower
door and thus the half suffocated girl was enabled to get some fresh
air. In vain Catherine and Grace worked to make the elevator
move up or down, it would not move. "If we cn'y had some
machine oil, sighed Catherine.
Sweet oil will do the work," and up the stairs bounded Martha.
On her return a whole bottle full of the fluid was poured on the pull-
eys and other pieces of iron. Then slowly but sui-ely the dumb
waiter began to move and the girls presently pulled out tear stained,
frightened, rumpled, Grace. Then hurriedly they raised May to
the surface, put the shelves into place and made a bee line for their
rooms half shoving along Grace, who was trying to find out whether
she was dead or alive — for they expected any minute to hear the
others returning from the concert.
After they were all seated again in Catherine's room and had
paused to take breath, May began to laugh excitedly, half hysteri-
cally. " What will we ever do, I left all the stuff down on the kit-
chen table."
Gloomily the girls looked at one another but there was nothing
to be done except soothe poor Crace who was not as yet over her
fright.
"Mother Lane will make an awful fuss," was the conclusion
they reached but nothing was ever heard of the escapade again and
the girls never knew how puzzled Mother Lane was over the smell
of sweet oil about the dumb waiters and the packages of cheese,
crackers and canned fruit on the table. " That boy must have
brought these after I left last night and those lazy girls wouldn't
lift a finger to do anyone else's work, but I don't remember ordering
these things. How one does forget, " was all she said.

they made him dig a hole and bury his voice in it. He was
then blessed with the oil of gladness.
You bet il be gud.
Your little boy
Reifie
P. S. — Say Ma send that money Billie says he needs it.
A Valuable Gift
THLETICS in general and class spirit in particular received
a great impetus by the timely gift, a beautiful Bronze Cup
given by Mr. Alfred Keister Mills, '04, to the winners of the
Freshman- Sophomore foot ball game.
Sports of this nature, especially in colleges, depend largely upon
the enthusiasm which can be aroused in their favor. Anything done
to arouse this needed spirit snould receive our most hearty applause.
Mr. Mills' diplomatic mind could have conceived of no better thing
to do for the college and athletics in particular than to arouse a
healthy rivalry between the classes by the presentation of the cup.
Others think but do not act. With him to have thought well is the
deed half done.
More enthusiasm was displayed in this contest than in any other
game of the season. Banners and class flags were everywhere appa-
rent while class yells fairly rent the air. By a clever trick the cup
this year was won by the Sophomore class by the close margin
of five to nothing.
Where athletics depend upon the student body the value of such
a gift can hardly be estimated. Now, since the precedent has been
established, let others follow the good example and next year make
an equally valuable gift.
L is for loitering in the hall
Which Funkie denounced as a sin for all.
£ is for escapades, as bonfires so grand
Which never take place while the profs are at hand.
B is for Brightee a fat little man,
Who's forgetting the Gym as fast as he can.
A is for allowances, both great and small
Which never expand but collapse like a ball.
N is for naughty seven, the year
Which is to the Juniors most dear.
O is for opening a can, you know,
Of beans, sniped in the kitchen below.
N is for the class of naughty nine,
Our cousins just down the line.
V is for voice taught by a dandy
Whose peppermint drops are always hand.
A is the academy whose base ball team
Has taught the Sophs that it has some steam.
L is for the ladies so bright and so dear
The wives of the faculty, whom we revere.
L- is for longing for home far away,
To which we will go as soon as we may.
£ is for electric our lights so bright
Whose waste has become a saying so trite. .
Y is for yelling, as loud as you can
For class, college, athletics, down to a man.

SONNET ON RAGS
O CREATURE shy, who keep'st thyself apart,
From everyone but those who care for thee,
A captive never wishing- to be free.
What peace must dwell within thy canine heart !
At times thy piteous look doth well impart
That, of whatever nature they may be,
Thy share of cares has not been kept from thee,
And thou canst feel alike the keen and smart.
Oh fortunate the lot that thou dost hold
That thou art cast into this world so wide,
So cruel, too, and yet thou dost uphold
The loyal spirit at thy master's side.
How many creatures low in life as thee
Can half so happy and contented be ?
M. D. B.
The New Commandments
1.
Thou shalt have thine eye on no other colleges but this one;
thou shalt have no secret communications with them for I am a
jealous " Prexy " visiting the wrath of the faculty upon the students
unto the third or fourth generation of them that disobey me.
2
Remember thy study hours and keep them holy, for thou
shouldst guard them as sacredly as thou wouldst guard thy purse-
Under no circumstances must thou loiter in the halls to converse
with the opposite sex.
3.
Honor the faculty and " always speak well of them even if you
have to stretch the truth," for remember the examination day
cometh and with it thy grades.
4.
For exercise thou shalt not tread down the campus grass, but
be deli gent in the gymnasium and on the athletic field for I hold the
athlete as the apple of mine eye.
5.
Enter the ladies parlor only no the invitation of your lady
friend, which must not be too frequent. By no means shalt thou
have a standing invitation to visit at the hall.
6.
Thou shalt not raise false reports about the college or anything
that pertains there to.
7.
Walk into the dining-room like true southern gentlemen, for to
be ungentlemanly is not to be consistent with the feast? that is
prepared for thee.
8.
Thou shalt use the electricity with sparing hand, and likewise
the water for " Billie " says the treasury is nearly empty.
9.
Thou shalt find no fault with the lack of grub, for a full stomach
standeth not a student in good stead.
10.
Thou shalt not "pony" nor shalt thou copy thy neighbors
examination papers; thou shalt not covet thy neighbors lady friend
(or vice versa,) nor his trot; nor anything that is thy neighbors or
the faculty's except their knowledge and their wisdom.

The Cuckoo, Nightingale, and the Donkey
NCE upon a time in the Black Forest of Germany was situ-
ated a famous Singing School for birds. Each Spring as
the last snow was rapidly disappearing and the trees
beginning to bud. this school met for its Summer term.
The director of the school was Professor Stork, who, though no
singer himself, had travelled extensively, and was well qualified to
judge the capabilities of others.
The school opened and the birds poured in with their new clothes
and their music rolls. According to custom on the first week a
grand Carnival of Song was held and the winner received as a prize,
six extra fine early worms.
On this occasion the Cuckoo had out-distanced all competitors
and was declared Queen of the Songsters. She received the prize
and flew off. Finding a deserted nest near a brook, she flew into it
to rest and enjoy her feast alone. Although it was early April it
seemed like June so mild and pleasant was the weather. This had
a drowsy effect upon the Cuckoo and she soon fell asleep.
She must have been sleeping for hours, for dawn was just break-
ing, when she was suddenly awakened by a strange sound. What
was this ? What bird dared to come and sit and sing, right before ■
her, the Queen of the Song Carnival ? For there, within three feet
of her, sitting on a bough near the brook, was a strange bird, sing-
ing with all her might. Higher and clearer her song rose, first
liquid and vibrant like the notes of a canary, then descending she
sang in the steady finished style of the Cuckoo herself, and, trilling
on the lower notes, she ended her song in an almost inaudible gurgle
in her throat.
The Cuckoo's breast heaved with envy, for here she recognized
a possible rival. With a spring she was upon the stranger, and the
two, falling into the remnant of a snow drift, made it fly like a
miniature blizzard. The result, was, that after a few moments of
fight, the Cuckoo half-clambered and half-flew, gasping, choking
and beaten, from the cold water of the near-by brook.
" Who are you " ? she spluttered, her eyes blazing with anger.
" I," replied the stranger cooly, " I, am the Nightingale ! I have
come North to teach you birds how to sing. Rather a cool reception
all around though."
" Well you can go back where you came from. We don't need
you croaking round here " snapped the Cuckoo, arranging her
ruffled feathers.
"It seems you do need me very much when such as you win the
prizes," replied the Nightingale.
" What school of singing did you ever go to " ? piped the Cuck-
oo, scornfully.
" I don't need to go to any," answered the Nightingale, " genius
is born not made."
This argument might have continued until it would probably
have resulted in another bath for the Cuckoo, had not a plan entered
her head.
" I tell you what we'll do," she said. " In order to prove that
I am the best singer, we will leave the decision to the first person
we meet."
" All right," said the Nightingale.
The Cuckoo was a cunning bird. She knew a donkey in a
neighboring field, and though he sometimes seemed to laugh while
she was singing, he was withal an amiable fellow, and a friend of
her's besides, so she counted on obtaining the decision from him, if
they could meet him. With a careless air, she turned to fly in the
direction of the field, and the Nightingale followed.
As good fortune would have it they met the donkey first thing,
on the edge of the wood. Both birds alighted on the fence which
enclosed his pasture and the Cuckoo opened the conversation.
" Herr Donkey," she said with extreme politeness, " we would
like to have you decide which of us is the better singer."
" All right," said the Donkey, " go ahead and sing."
The Cuckoo raised her head, filled her lungs, and began. She
sang of the dawn of the twilight, of the sowing, the violets and the
brooks, and of all the joy in life and nature.
At last she was through and the Donkey motioned with his ear
for the Nightingale to begin.
Without any preparation the Nightingale began. She sang of
the olive and citron groves, of the leafy nest of her childhood, of
the summer breezes, the white shimmering sand and of the glory
and splendor of the Eastern courts, of love, of passion, of despair ;
sang as if the whole world with all its joys had been given to her
and she must pay for it in song.
When the Nightingale had finished both birds eagerly awaited
the verdict. The donkey stood for a few moments in contemplation
and then he said : "Your voice, Cuckoo is indeed splendid. Al-
though it lacks the range of some others yet it justly deserves its
reputation for clearness and tone power. It is not surprising that
—It)-
it is dear to the hearts of man and beast, for it has lightened the
labors of many. But for range and sweetness I have never yet
heard a bird voice like the one of this stranger. So strong and
weird and yet so beautiful is it, that I was almost entranced.
These however are mere bird voices. They are all right for
little meaningless ditties ; but to express true emotion in all its dif-
ferent shades there is nothing like a good bass voice. Listen, my
dears, and I will sing a lay which will make you ashamed to call
yourselves songsters." Thereupon the donkey began to bray in his
loudest and deepest tones.
So enraged were the two birds at this insult, that they sat upon
him and so belabored him about the head, chasing him round and
round the field, that at last he was glad to escape from them by
plunging his head into a thorn bush. The two birds, thinking he
had received enough punishment, flew off together, leaving him a
sadder and a wiser donkey, fully determined never again to try to
referee a woman's dispute.
As for the two birds, having expended their spite upon the donk-
ey, they now became friends. The Nightingale said that life in the
North was too strenuous for her and the weather too cold, and she
avowed her intention of returning to the South. Thereupon the two
made a compact. The Cuckoo should reign supreme in the regions
of the Black Forest, while the Nightingale should be Queen of Song
in the South. And so it is today.

We're the class of nineteen-seven,

And when we start to do a thing',
We always do it right.
We never lack and loaf around,
But work with all our might,
Long will our fame be remembered.
CHORUS
Hurrah ! hurrah '. the class of naughty seven.
Hurrah ! hurrah ! our hearts are light as leven.
Ring out the chorus loud and long,
For comrades true are we,
Comrades and classmates forever.
The Freshman year we placed a flag
Upon the cupalo,
The Sophs rushed up on us.
And said it heard them so.
Tne ground was strewn with tattered clothes,
And blood and hats, but Oh,
Nineteen-seven came off victorious — Chor.
As Sophomores we had a choir,
Inquire not into that;
'Twas not a charity affair,
We never passed the hat;
We learned to love old L. V. C,
And learned to sing her praise,
Deep was her impress upon us — Chor.
The Junior year is flying fast,
And school life soon will end;
Lets enjoy it while we may,
Before our ways we wend.
We'll write our story in a book,
The Annual that will tend
To hand down our exploits forever — Chor.

Our New President
HE success of a College depends not a little upon the general
ability of the man at the head. Lebanon Valley College
has been especially fortunate in its presidents. They have
usually been men of strong natural ability, well educated,
well fitted to fill the position they occupied.
Since the founding of the institution, the following have served
as Presidents: Thomas R. Vickroy, 1866-71; Lucian H. Ham-
mond '71-76; David D. DeLong '76-87; Edmund S. Lorenz, '87-'89;
Cyrus J. Kephart '89-90; E. Benj. Bierman '90-'97; Hervin U. Roop,
resigned January '97-'06.
Rev. A. P. Funkhouser, of Harrisonburg, Virginia, was elected
President of the college on March 9, by the Executive Committee of
the Board of Trustees. He was at one time a student at Lebanon
Valley but is an alumnus of Otterbein University. He has served
as Presiding Elder of his Conference, as Associate Editor of the
"Religious Telescope", as Postmaster of Harrisburg and as Presi-
dent of "Western College, now the Leander Clark at Toledo, Iowa.
Besides this President Funkhouser is a forceful public speaker and
all things put together make the prospect for Lebanon Valley under
his guidance very bright.

POSTLUDE
"If you ask us whence this book is,
Whence this yearly publication
With its gay attempt at satire,
But no desire to be funny,
If you ask us we'll not tell you,
For it maybe we have hit you,
May have hurt you, hurt you sorely,
But you still have consolation,
You've had your turn, or it is coming,
When your rap will sound out plainly
Knocking this or knocking that,
Then you'll know, why we say it,
Why we say it with all firmness
We'll Not Tell You ! "
