PREFACE
A1 NOTHER year has passed, and its record of the lives
^^^ and fortunes of Lebanon Valley's sons and daughters
^1^^ lies before you.
The opportunities of delving into the mysteries and joys
of student life have made the compilation of this history a task
not altogether unpleasant. We have tried to depict accurately
and, at the same time, wittily the life of the college and, more
particularly, that of the Junior class.
In the name of the class of 1913, we proffer you this four-
teenth volume of the Bizarre with the hope that it may be a
source, not only of pleasure to the students, alumni, and
friends, but also of real service to our Alma Mater.
The Editors.

ALVIN EDGAR SHROVER, B. S., B. D.
PROFFSSOR OF GREEK AND BIBLE
OUR FRIEND AND TEACHER
WHOSE SINCERE INTEREST
IN
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
HAS ENDEARED HIM TO THE HEART OF
EVERY STUDENT
THE Bizarre 1913
IS respectfully DEDICATED
Prof. Alvin Edgar Sliroyer
ROFESSOR Alvin I dgar Shroyer. B. D., was
born oil thf first day of May, 1875. in the beauti-
ful and picturesque Lykens Valley, Dauphin
County. Pennsylvania. The first ten years of
his life were spent in tlie quiet little borough of Pillow.
Here he attended the public schools in Winter and during
the Summer devoted his energies to the pursuit of the
common occupation, noted throughout the Mahontongo,
agriculture
In the twelfth year his field of life broadened. The
family moved to Shamokin The first four years found
him in the employment of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad and Mining Company. The following four years
were spent in a more lucrative position in the employ of
Pennsylvania Railroad and Mining Company.
When about seventeen, a desire and longing for a
better education began to assert itself This ambition,
that was not satisfied with the instruction in the common
branches received in the public schools, culminated in his
attending the night sessions in the Shamokin Business
College. Not long after this while attending Lykens
Valley Campmeeting he listened to a stirring address on
education given by Dr. Benjamin E. Bierman, President
of Lebanon Valley College. The latent and dormant
desires were now awakened into a living passion for self-
cultivation and expression.
In the Fall of 1896 he was numbered among the en-
trants of Lebanon Valley College and in June, 1900, was
graduated, receiving the degree of B. S. In the follow-
ing Autumn he entered Union Biblical Seminary, Dayton,
Ohio, from which institution he graduated in 1903 with
the degree of B D While pursuing his studies at the
Seminary he held the position of Instructor of Greek and
Mathematics in the Ohio Central Normal School during
the years of 1901 and 1902. During the last year of his
course he served as pastor on the charge of Harrisburg
and Little York, Ohio.
Upon graduating in May, 1903, he was appointed to
complete the unexpired term of Rev. Smoker, deceased.
In the Autumn of 1903, he was stationed at Highspire,
Pa. This pastorate he held until the Fall of 1909 when
he succeeded Dr. J. T. Spangler to the Chair of Greek
and Bible in Lebanon Valley College. The duties in-
cumbent upon this professorship he has since ably
performed.
His cheerful ways and genial disposition have won
our hearts. His interest in the scholar and his work has
awakened our esteem. His kind and encouraging word
to the struggling student has called forth our respect.
His sympathetic nature has struck a responsive chord in
our being. His integrity has gained for him the trust of
our student body. His devotion and loyal support to
athletics have brought him our admiration. And his no-
ble virtues and Christian character have endeared him to
each and every one.

Class History
".-/ dream itscll is bid a sl.adow
T1 HE Senior was alone, save for the presence of a
little brown bound volume. Tiiere was nothing
^■)^ unusual in that, for lie liked to wandtroff in the
company of some good book. But now he
seemed not to be reiding His look was a puzzled one
as he sat gazing at an intangible something poised before
him in space. One finger marked a line — the one that
had sent him off into the reverie. ' ' In sooth, I know not
why I am so gad." His expression plainly showed the
sincerity of his doubt.
Never had he felt thus. Commencement was rapidly
approaching. Could that be the cause of tliis sadness ?
With the thought his expression cleared somewhat — but
only for a moment. Why should that fact make him sad ?
It was the time that he had looked forward to for f )ur
long years. Should the slightest tinge of sorrow play a
part in the fulfillment of so prized an ideal? A deep sigh
relieved the situation. His eyes closed slowh'. A smile,
in outline, too plainly showed the trend of his thoughts.
He was living through those four years again just as
they had been. Now, iiowever, each moment seemed
dearer because of the remembrance of its dead brother.
Time with him was no consideration. Tiie Senior held
on to each moment, he lingered over every scene as long
as his fancy pleased. Then he conjured up another one,
still more enticing than the first. In all tliese scenes he
saw not himself alone, but every member of 1912.
The first class meeting in the library was extremely
vivid; the bashfulness of some, the greenness of others,
the excitement of all How gratifying it was now to re-
member that he had liad faith in this crowd from that
first day on ! But the library ca'led up other thoughts.
There was tlie remembrance of hours spent in tiresome
research work, in idle gossip, in interesting and interested
social groups. But best of all that Junior fc^ed ! Here
he wanted to tarry so that he might again enjoy the hap-
piness and health of Junior life, but he could not
Quick as a flash this scene had changed for another of
a grander hue. The actors were the same, but the set-
Xxwi was different; a banquet hall, a sumptuous feast sea-
soned with an abundance of good cheer and jollity. Yes,
he was a Freshman once more, reveling in the exuber-
ance of youth. That banquet was the best of a year of
good things; a year filled with lively class scraps and
glorious victories. The smile on the Senior's face had
grown broader with the remembrance of it all. Surely
nothing could be more pleasant
Just then, however, he felt again the pride and im-
portance of a Sophomore There were the same class-
scraps; not the same victories but in their place a deter-
mination that outlives defeat. The Senior was noted for
his optimism. He recalled those days in which he had
been forced to cultivate the habit with gratification.
What a valuable asset it had since proved ! Now he was
seeing again a Sophomore vision. He knew how delight-
39
ful it had been then, but, as he caught its gleam a second
time, he was startled He had not realized before its kin-
ship to his dreams of the present year. The similarity was
striking.
Would his dreams come true? Incidents from his
College life came up in such rapid succession that they
soon claimed his entire attention again. It was refresh-
ing to think of the good old times of dormitory life. So-
cial scenes, class-room scenes, chapel scenes, were each
trying to gain prominence when the Senior was awakened
from his reverie The sound of the dinner bell broke the
spell. But because of the remembrance of former days
the sound of that old broken bell had grown sweet.
We all love to dwell on the past. With each new
remembrance comes new inspiration. May the light of
that inspiration ever illumine the countenance of 191 2
with the " supreme and ever-shining benevolence " of her
Alma Mater!

Class Poem
You have seen us oft before
As we gatliered wisdom's store
Working hard.
And now our shouts resound
That the summit we have found
And reward.
They say in Freshman year
In gusts we shed no tear
Nor in storms.
Not a gayer crowd was found
By the ' ' Profs ' ' upon their round
Through the dorms.
But now we walk the street
And look at all we meet
Sad and wan.
Each one shakes his feeble head
And it seems as if he said,
" School is done."
For our College days are past,
Yet in memory they will last
Through all times.
Thoughts of each happy hour
We will carry near and far
To all climes.
I know it is not right
That we should lose delight
Leaving here.
But the happy days we've spent
And the fun that they have meant
Are so dear.
And we hope to live to be
An honor to L. V. C.
Bye and bA'e.
We will work, we do avow.
And as hard as we know how
We will try.

EzEKiEL Kephart Boughter, P. L,. S.
Oberlin, Pa. Historical- Political
"^Aiid ccrtcinly, he was a good felawe"
Ezekiel Kephart is a little man even if he does bear
a big name He can, however, be proud of that name,
since it formerly belonged to one of the best bishops in
United Brethren history. As to Kephart B he is a good
sort of a boy. He never causes the professors any trouble
and always behaves nicely wherever he is. Although
very young, he is fond of feminine association, partic-
ularly that of his class sisters and in this he is altogether
justified. One of his favorite sports is swimming and he
is an expert when it comes to giving lessons. No one
would ever drown if he could help it. And then he takes
naturally to water. Kephart is the son of a minister but
it is doubtful if he himself will ever be found in that pro-
fession. He may become a gospel singer or a choir lead-
er or a performer in a minstrel show, but at present he
lacks nerve for the ministry. He was born March 23,
1893, making him one of the youngest members of the
class of 19 13.

''Archly the viaidtii smiled, ulth eyes nnuiing
over ivith laughter '
From the cit)' of "Brotherly Love," this damsel
hails^ Of years, she has seen a score, no more. She at-
tended school in Philadelphia in her early youth and
came from the High School for Girls to our Academy.
The school became brighter after her appearance. Her
sunshiny disposition and cheery smiles are of a kind that
might brighten the sombre halls of the palace of Pluto.
After her arrival, a peculiar commotion was noticed
among the boys, some of them had lost something — their
hearts. Still 'Floss" smiled on. She is a great talker.
She talks anywhere and everywhere, and all the time.
She is a great worker (?), and always accomplishes won-
ders. "Floss" is a good student and does not have any
conscientious scruples against "cribbing " She has ta-
ken an extensive course in Domestic Science. She is a
good entertainer and that explains why the boys can be
seen so often wending their solitary way to that eastern
extreme of our town. "Floss" is decidedly pretty
and destined to turn some poor lonely bachelor's hall in-
to a palace of radiancy and love. Just who this will be,
we would not be so presumptuous as to even make a
guess. We wish her well.

"My exalted head shall strike the stars"
Hear ye, hear ye all! This mortal, who has been
nick-named "Clip," found it convenient to begin life on
a farm in Lurgan, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, Au-
gust 7, 18S6. But the farm was not the place for the de-
velopment of "Floss'" artistic and aesthetic tempera-
ment: hence, the subject of our story was transported to
fields of greater opportunity. Floss graduated from
Cumberland Valley State Normal School in 1907, and
then assumed the role of school-marm for three
years. Failing to meet the "ideal of her dreams" in this
vocation, she entered Dickinson College, but here, too,
her search was fruitless. "Clip" now discovered that L.
V. C. suited her mental and moral nature exactly, and
joined the jolly '13 bunch in its Sophomore 3^ear. At
Lebanon Valley, "Floss" has attacked Old English,
Shakespeare, and Latin verse with a vengeance, and has
thus far trained her horse to maintain a very fast "clip."
Recently "Clip's" already large stock of accomplish-
ments has been augmented by a tendency to "roll dem
eyes" on rare occasions. This dangerous practice, com-
bined with the leap year tradition, guarantees almost ab-
solutely that some innocent bachelor will succumb to the
wiles of this spinster of Shippensburg.

'^ Great maste)' in the science of grimace"
"Vic, " as he states in his autobiography, landed in
a cloud of volcanic dust at Mt. Aetna, in Berks county,
on May 28, 1892. Ever since his arrival, he has had
active eruptions of mirth and folly for "Vic" is the
comedian of the class. When a child, his mother says
he was reserved and bashful, but according to the laws
of motion, every action has its reaction and "Hefly's"
case is no exception, for he can hardly be recognized as
being backward. His specialty, the rooster laugh, helps
to keep the cup of mirth boiling at L. V. Having spent
two years in Lebanon Valley Academy, he is quite initi-
ated into school work. He is exact in his work and be-
lieves strongly in the motto "try again" as is proven by
his strenuous efforts in French i . In personal appear-
ance, he gives an impression of vitality. He has a good
physique and prospects are that some day he may become
quite ponderous. When "Vic" graduates he is going to
leave this old "dump," Annville, for parts unknown.
He is not anxious for fame, but yet would like to do
credit to lucky '13. Although one would not suppose
him to have a great affinity for the fair sex, those inti-
mately acquainted with him say that the emotions of love
within him, though dormant, are yet potent. His future
seems uncertain, yet we predict for him some unique po-
sition of usefulness.

Clara Kee Horn, C. L. S.
'' Her face is fair, her he ait is true
As spotless as she's bonie, O!
Being a member of the York County Club does not
always indicate that you hail from "the Dutch." This
lassie is an exception for she was born in "Dixie," in
Thurmont, Maryland, January 30, [892. Her parents,
being greatly alarmed because she could not talk at three
years of age, had a specialist perform a slight operation
on her tongue and you know the result. Talk, did I say
talk, well you never saw any one like her. She is often
heard to say, "Oh! my jaws are tired," but still keeps at
it. Until the time she came to Lebanon Valley, her edu-
cation was obtained in three different states but this has
not made her a "loser," for she is one of 1913's brightest
members. Mathematics is her hobby, and you should
hear her hand out knowledge to her arithmetic class.
You may think that all boys are alike to her, but please
correct yourself, for she gets her daily comfort from the
Pauline Epistles. Whether these will have any effect on
her later life it is hard to say. Her plans are a course in
Mathematics at Columbia, Principalship of a High
School and then the chair of Mathematics at Lebanon
Valley College. Success.

".-?;/ impudent felknv may cortvterfit modesty, but I'll be
hanged if a modest man can eve?- counter-fit impudence"
Landis R. Klinger, born June i6, 1889, died
(this means that he is living.) Klinger passed through
an ordinary childhood with all its stages from colic to
measles and whooping crugh. He also passed through
Keystone Normal School. The methods here so conflicted
that he, becoming weary in mind and body, entered Leb-
anon Valley Academy to recuperate from the strain.
Naturally under these conditions, he could do no stren-
uous work, but being a bright young man, in the Fall
of 1909, the Facult)' catalogued him as a Freshman.
And he was a queer one, for instead of being green and
impudent as most College boys of the incubator stage are,
he seemed extremely bashful. But "first impressions
are seldim lasting" and "things are not what they seem"
will perhaps prepare you for the statement of one of his
friends in Tower City that, "Landis is not at all bashful
when >ou really know him." Further proof of this may
be found in Lebanon. At the close of three years of col-
lege life, everybody agrees that he is a "jolly good fel-
low." modest and unassuming, but with a quiet wit and
humor that will some day be of the greatest help to him
in his work as president of L. V. C.

".4 perfect zvoman. iioblv planned.
To warn, to comfort, to command"
Edith Marie Lehman, the youngest and one of the
prettiest girls of our class, was born May lo, 1893, in
Annville, Lebanon county. Pennsylvania On the day
of her birth, according to the observations of astronomers,
tlie whole universe was in perfect harmony, which ac-
counts for her pleasing disposition. From her early
youth, she has been under the constant care and cautious
direction of a College Professor, which probably is one
of the reasons for her deep interest in all intellectual and
educational works After having received a thorough
knowledge of the common school branches in the Ann-
ville public schools, she entered the Lebanon Valley
Academy, from which she was graduated in 1909. She
then entered College. Her continual living in a college
atmosphere, penetrated with the long resounding echoes
of Latin, French, German and Greek phrases, as well as
with angles, sines and cosines, has been an essential fac-
tor in making her a typical college girl. Mucn credit is
due her for her skill in using her books, both in recita-
tions and in examinations. She is also an extensive
reader. Her generosity in bestowing smiles upon her
acquaintances has won for her a long train of friends.
Edith has joined the Student Volunteer Movement and
is destined to make a success of life.

" IV/ir should a man, whose blood is warm u<ithin,
Sil like his graiidsire eut in Alabasterf"
And trulj' the scene was of a nature deeply to im-
press the imagination of the beholder, when John Freder-
ick Leininger entered the halls of fame at L. V. C. this
Fall. John made his appearan:;e upon this sphere of
blissfulness about four months after the assassination of
President Garfield and his parents are glad that the
" Hope of the Famil)' " has thus far survived the efforts
of his inclinations. He is not a perfect stranger here,
but has displayed some of his Platonian foresight during
the years of 1904-07, after which he ably took up the
teacher's profession for six years. Although John has
passed the age of adolesence and firmly believes in the
inferiority of women, he is occasionally seen on the first
step of the Ladies' Dormitory setting forth his and Dr.
Sidgewick's Hedonistic views. John is undaunted in the
presence of his instructors, and since he is a strong advo-
cate of the theor\' of " Freedom of the Will," he has up-
on various occasions freely participated in discussions per-
taining to their work in open class or in private confer-
ences with the English department. However, this rare
specie of human anatomy does not like to "cut" classes,
and this particular characteristic, which is lacking to
most of the rest of the members of our class, will some day
make John stand out as a beacon light of truth in learn-
ing's path.

BoAz G. Light, K. L. S.
Historical- Political
"A very gentle beast, aiid a good eonscience."
On February i6, 1887, "God said, 'Let there be
Light and there was Boaz Light.' " Boaz says that noth-
ing of further importance occurred until he graduated
from Avon Shady Side Academy. However, greater
things were in store for this young inan, and he was
ushered into the Normal Department of Lebanon Valley.
The date of this event has been lost in antiquity. Suffice
it to say that Boaz' acquaintance with L V. has not
been short Believing the spice of life is variety, this
luminosity supplemented his education with frequent
wanderings in the realm of pedagogy After three years
experience with the "persuader, " Boaz was initiated into
the mysteries and pleasures of College life witli the class
of 1913. At college, this only 1913 representative of the
multitudinous Light tribe has upheld the reputation of
his ancestors, especially when it comes to "shining,"
and is often seen sporting a derby between L. V. C. and
Lebanon. Indeed, his affinity for Lebanon is so great
that he invariably stops off there on his way back to
Avon. Boaz is a Calcuhis "shark." He is very fond
of soft drinks, especially "Seltzer." This combination
is strictly O. K., according to the latest 1912 authorities.

The electric tingles of hit after hit. ' '
This page gives you a dignified looking gentleman.
Yes, dignified because of his glasses, which he found were
absolutely necessary, for he had been continually in the
light the past four years. He was born some years ago.
We are sorry that we cannot give you the exact date, but
as he will not commit himself you must draw your own
conclusions. But we can tell you that it was sometime
after the Civil War. Of his life as a youngster, we can
give you no definite record but it comes from good
authority that he spent much time studying electricity
and coining witty sayings. All these things happened in
a little western city of Pennsylvania, and since he has
come to Lebanon Valley, the proofs have been self-
evident. Since a "prep," he has been aiming at that
agent or force in nature which illuminates objects and
makes them visible. He is the wittiest person around
the place and it is hard to get ahead of him for he is al-
ways ready with a quick retort or some answer. At
present, he is preparing to be an "oratoricler." It is
rumored that he might also be a lawyer, but according to
past and present indications, some day he will "carrie"
the admiration of the world by a perfect lighting system.

Evolution=Beginning+Process + End.
Beginning — G. Adolphus Richie born at Shamokin,
Pa., Sept. 22, 1888, graduated from Shamokin High
School in 1907. Process — It is usually hard to mark the
transition from beginning to process, but in Richie's
"case," it can be traced directly to his meeting HER,
during his two years' stay in Philadelphia as a steno-
grapher. Since that, evolution has been rapid. In
1909, he came to L- V., he saw the "profs," he con-
quered. Never a class-scrap, or "feed" at old L. V.,
but Richie has shown the greatest pluck and capacity,
although he is the smallest man in our class. He
has been treasurer of every organization around the
place and has never absconded once, not even when he
was entrusted with the immense funds of the Ministerial
Association. From this and the fact that he is now chief
chicken and sweet potato eater on Jonestown circuit, it
may easily be inferred that Richie is a minister. As
Editor-in Chief of the Bizarre, he has not only weekly,
daily and hourly urged the members of the Staff to "get
on the job," but he has worked untiringly himself. End
— This remains to be seen, but we prophesy for him, a
course at Bonebrake Theological Seminary, then a large
parish in Philadelphia where THEY will do noble work.

Do you see this philosophical face? Do j'ou see the
furrows of thought and the lines of deep reasoning on his
noble brow? Tliis is Mr. Palmer F. Roberts, who was
born in .\twood. 111., during the month of August, 1880
A. D. This gentleman can truly boast of a wide and
varied experience in life. Having spent his boyhood and
youth in a rolling mill, he later joined a band of travel-
ing evangelists In this work he travelled through four-
teen states and by some strange law of attraction drew
near Pennsylvania and the E-ist where he "got him a
wife" and some theological training in Bonebrake Semi-
nary. After this, he came to Lebanon Valley where he
has distinguished liimself in several ways. He is quite a
logician and philosopher and deliglitsin arguing with his
professors on some problem in Ethics He has endeared
himself to the hearts of his fellow students hy means of
this habit, also, for many times has he saved some stu-
dent from a display of ignorance in class by assuming
the burden of the recitation himself Mr. Roberts is the
proud father of twins and often offers as an excuse for
tardiness in classes the fact that "he bad to rock the
children to sleep last night." Mr. Roberts will probably
follow the crowd at L V. and become a preacher. We
wish him truest success.

"Oh! You Blondy!" This phrase has become quite
familiar around L. V. C, in fact, the inclination toward
"Blondy" has become quite marked, from the fair sex
down to hypnotized subjects, " where s Blondy?" In
the aforementioned, we refer to Frank who was born
Sept. 17, 1 89 1, near Middletown, and consequently that
town has grown famous and it's place on the map firmly
established. In fact, hy hearing him talk, one would
think that the capitol was misplaced and should have
been situated at Middletown. There would have been
no "grafting" done there. After graduating from the
High School of that renowned city, which school in
course of time had an excellent basketball and baseball
team, Frank came to Lebanon Valley. At first there
were many conceptions, theories, and speculations as to
how "Blondy" was reall3' classified and where he stood
in his literary work. After nominally entering the
Freshman class and showing that "bntich" a few things,
that same class could no longer contain" him and he be-
came a Sophomore and so finally the '*die"' was cast and
Frank, has stood faithfully tO' !i3r' '•. We "know little of
" Blondy 's" future but can predict success only as spring-
ing from such manifest accomplishments.

"//i? speaketli iioi; and yet there lies
A eoni'ersatum in Ins eves;"
This contented looking individual first saw the light
of day in the obscure village of Fredericksburg, too long
ago for any of us to remember. The day, however, must
have been one of unusual calmness and quiet, for the
marked serenity of his disposition has ever been a feature
of his character. He drank in the food for his youthful
mind in the village schools of Fredericksburg. After
graduation there, he aided in shaping the future of
America, by wielding the rod over thirty or forty young
"hopes." He followed this occupation for three years
after which he came to Lebanon Valley and began his
career as a student He has always been a faithful stu-
dent and a lo3'al member of '13 He has declared him-
self a "total abstainer" in regards to the girl question at
L. v., but the Editors feel inclined to think that his fre-
quent trips to Lickdale and his peculiar fondness for the
name Bomberger have no mean significance. At any
rate, he blushes sometimes and that is a sure sign. Mr.
Sherk does not speak of his future, but we feel sure that
after graduation at L V., John will "Take unto himself
a wife" and enter some profession beneficial to his fellow-
men, in which he cannot help but succeed.

' ' A wise and masterful iyiaclivity . ' '
The summer of 18S9 had been an unusually hot sum-
mer. Along toward the latter part of August, however,
a cool breeze from Mars swept over the little village of
Manheim and left behind it a sweet little baby boy —
" Our Charley." All this happened in the well known
Pennsylvania- German district, — a fact which, accounts for
Charley's "You shust-pet" accent. Charley went through
the educational mill of Manheim and came out in the year
1907 with such a profound store of knowledge, that his
friends and teachers advised him to equip himself, so as to
impart some of this great store of knowledge to the illit-
erate children of the vicinity. Accordingly, he went to
Millersville State Normal School and taught one year.
In the meantime, however, he decided to make his life
count for still more and accordingly came to Lebanon
Valley Academy in 1908 to preoare for the ministry.
Since then he has been busy shining in his classes and
looking wise. Charley has the distinction of being one
of the prettiest boys in the class. He is also one of the
brightest and most original. Many of the Lebanon \'al-
ley girls have tried to win his affections, but in vain. He
remains true to the "wee bonnie lassie" "back up

■' 'I'hou hadst a voice whose sound was like Ike sea:
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free. ' '
Harry, the dude of our class, was born on the first
day of July, 1889. in the Capital City of what he thinks
is the best state in the Union. Then as now, he made his
presence known by his melodious voice. When he reach-
ed the proper age, he entered the public schools of Har-
risburg and used to entertain his schoolmates for hours at
a time by preaching and singing to them (at least we
think he did). That his musical talent was appreciated
by the school is proven by the fact that he was elected
leader of the High School Choir in his Senior year He
finished his High School work in 1910 and came to Leb-
anon Valley in the Fall of tliat year. He first joined the
Class of 1914, but not finding that class congenial, he
made another step and landed in the Junior Class this
year. Harry is a very energetic young man and in addi-
tion to his school work he conducts a choir at Penbrook.
This voung lad can also claim the honor of being one of
our most gallant young men. Like so many of our boys,
however, his affections are centered on childhood ac-
quaintances. Beware, Harry! This is Leap Year and
Lebanon Valley has many a fair young maiden who
might make use of the opportunities which the year af-
fords. He says he is "gona be a preacher " and we pre-
dict for him a brilliant career.

" A/v mind to mc a Kingdom is."
This dignified, serious looking member of 19 13 was
born March i, 1886, at Millersbiirg, Dauphin County,
Pa At the end of three months of existence as an ordi-
nary infant, he suddenl> refused to cry, and when asked
his reason replied that he was deciding whether he ought
to cry for duty's sake or from a purely Hedonistic stand-
point. His childhood was remarkable, but his fame did
not reach this part of the state until, on leaving Rerrys-
burg Seminary, he became a student in L V. Academy.
Here he began his real education according to the bien-
nial system, that is. he imbibed knowledge for a year and
then spent the next xear in giving it as a minister, to his
fellowmen. His last season of " distribution of knowl-
edge" extended over two years and when he returned
this year as a Junior he brought with him his wife and
Mark Wert. Jr.
Mr. Wert is a philosopher. His mind is always
busy with great philosophical, ethical and metaphysical
thoughts. He has taken every course in philosophy of-
fered at this institution, and this year is taking the course
in Ethics again in order that his former grade of 99 99 100
per cent may be raised to 100 per cent. At present he
has a charge near Cleona, where he can use all surplus
knowledge every Sunday. As a philosopher and a the-
ologian he is expected to prove a star in the 1913 crown.

It is indeed with great pleasure that we introduce to
you George Albert. He became one of us in our Sopho-
more year and he is one of the two Academy scholarship
students of which our class can boast. He graduated
from L V. Academy in lyto, and after "sizing up"
1914, he decided that for the best interests of his mental,
physical and moral welfare he would abstain, and rising to
the highest level possible, joined good old 1913. George
has been looked upon as somewhat timid ever since he
came here but we notice that that bashfulness is wearing
off just now Wlietlier the coming of leap year has had
anything to do with it, is yet to be found out, but certain
it is that lately the pavements tOv\'ards Professor Spes-
sard's home have met with more — considerably more fric-
tion. This young prodigy was born Sept. 24, 1893, and
received his early training at the Pottstown High School,

' ' Looks at all things as ihev are
But through a kind of glorv ."
This fair maid, Sara Esther, was born way down on
the farm not far from the "Beautiful City Among the
Hills" some time between the middle and end of the
nineteenth century. In youth Sara was always found lis-
tening to the murmurings of the brooks and rills, the
sighings of the trees and the voices of the birds and Na-
ture. Then this unpresuming maiden left the quiet coun-
try to live in the bustling city. There she delved into the
depths of the mystic lore of the poets and classics. But
Sara was not content with a High School education and
so accordingly wended her footsteps to our College. She
is very pretty and she is witty; she is decidedly original,
one never knows what is going to happen next. Sara
likes poetry, dreams poetry, lives poetry and writes poe-
try. Her favorite saying is, " Now, Mark you ! " Sara
has one bad habit, she is absent-minded, always forget-
ting something. One very cold and stormy night she
forgot her gloves. She did not freeze her fingers. No,
that is not like Sara. And upon this episode there hangs
a story which we cannot give for the last chapter has not
been completed. This is all.
Junior Class History
Yl OU will find recorded in this history defeats as
^_^ well as victories, for we have decided to "tell
^^P the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth."
In 1909 we came to Lebanon Valley knowing little
of the school now so dear to us, and less of each other,
but in two days' time we became one folk into which the
spirit of 19 1 3 entered with the one thought that "Strength
United is Stronger. '
A new life lay before us. We realized that we had
passed the smooth, barren plains of High and "Prep"
School and were beginning the ascent of a mountain, the
steep sides of which were covered with beautiful trees and
rough, jagged rocks, bright flowers and thorny under-
growth. In a short time, inter class contests began and
then we found how very big and rough the rocks were,
but 19 13, though often scratched and bruised, always
moved further and further up the mountain side. And
not a rock was passed but we were rewarded by a good
time in the shade of the trees or the finding of a flower.
After the football game, we found not one flower but a
perfect mass of blossoms giving forth a fragrance never to
be forgotten by any member of 1913. It was our ban-
quet at the Hotel Wheatland in Lancaster. Our next class
contest, the debate, proved to be no rock in our path;
hardly a stone, for the Sophomores failed to appear and
the victory was declared ours. One more rock, the base
ball game, was easily passed and then upon the summit
of the mountain we saw floating a crimson and steel ban-
ner showing that we had won every contest of the year.
When we returned the next Fall as Sophomores, we
learned that eight of our members had sought new ways.
The class contests began and we were forced to start down
the mountain but it was through lack of numbers, not
courage. It would have been so easy to forfeit the con-
tests and roll down the mountain, but 1913, being a
plucky little class, "stuck together," and made the
Freshmen work for every inch of ground gained. De-
feated we were, but we bore it bravely; sought out pleas-
ant shady places on the mountain side; and had so many
good times that the Freshmen, envious, tried to attack us
one night as we were returning from a "feed " We sug-
gested, that if they could only get their heads together,
they might have equally good times and sent them heme.
Near the bottom of the mountain, we found a place,
cool, and green, and restful. There we stopped to pon-
der over our two years of College life, rejoicing in the
victories of our Freshman year and rejoicing still more in
the fact that the defeats of our Sophomore year had not
weakened, but strengthened us. The name of Valley
Glen or " Sophoglynne " is one that will be ever treasured
in the heart of every member of 19 13.
This year the mountains and dells are almost as
dreams, and before us lies a valley. This valley is smooth
and green, but it offers work and opportunity without
end. Each day it widens out before us, and our greatest
wish is that we, with the valley, may become in spirit
bigger and broader.

Junior Class Poem
Back in the glad days of childhood,
Back in the dream hours of youth,
When Life as yet was but mystery
And the world contained naught but the truth.
Then we built wonderful castles
And we sent our ships out to sea.
Ships to explore — but they've come back
Empty to you and to me.
But the castles we built all have crumbled,
The aspect has changed with the years.
The Edens we fashioned have vanished
And the ashes are wet with our tears.
Yet we linger long 'mid the ruins;
Is there no compensation ? When lo !
Hope's angel steps forth like the Phoenix
And beckons us onward — " Child, go ! "
And she smiles as she beckons thus to us.
And her eyes wander far, far away
'Til they rest on the deep, hazy distance
Which melts into one mass of gray.
Yet the smile makes the vision the brighter,
We shall never forget it we know.
We depart, with the firm, fond assurance —
Compensation we'll find as we go.
Classmates ! to- day we are lingering,
Perhaps, over some cherished dream,
Or we may have discovered already
"Things" really "are not what they seem,"
But soon we must put by our musings.
There's a path that we all have to tread;
And these problems we ponder in school days
We'll leave for the real ones ahead.
When we turn at last on the old scenes.
And come to the path where we part,
L,et us not as we contemplate distance
And vagueness, grow weary at heart.
There are foot prints of great men to guide us,
There are by paths many, 'tis true.
To Fame and to Fortune — we'll leave them
To follow the good and the true.
Then let us resolve — e'er we sever.
To use well the fast passing hours.
That some day we'll reap of life's harvest
As in childhood we gathered its flowers;
To become rich in deed, not in baubles.
To give the world more than we take,
To tread Duty's path as we see it,
To give back to Life — for her sake.

Class Historv
O
NE might as well attempt to harness the wind,
saddle a hornet, make a polar expedition on the
wings of a flea or take a day's outing on the
chin of a frog as to give a complete historj^ of
the Class of 1914. Not even the encouragement and in-
spiration of a nasty mosquito upon a sterile cranium would
suffice to prompt one endeavoring to accurately trace the
history of our Class in its different spheres of sense and
nonsense. More than earthly aid would be necessary to
accomplish this. As such aid is not available and the
space is limited, I shall only give a brief summary of our
past.
In September, igio, we embarked in our strong bat-
tleship ' ' Progress ' ' and set out on our vo\'age across the
boisterous and briny sea of " Intervention," to the Soph-
omore land, where we were destined to become citizens.
To our regret, we discovered, upon reaching the
"Promised Land," that our number had decreased to
twenty-six. With this number now on board we have
again embarked on the great sea of college activities
bound for the imperial realm of Junior life. Again we
encountered a few combats, however, not as many as on
our former voyage. Neither have we been quite so suc-
cessful as formerly, due to the fact that our enemy is more
formidable and numerous than their "cousins," yet we
are sorry to say that they seem to lack the courage and
fighting spirit of our former foe. When our good ship,
" Progress," hoves in sight they seem to steer their bark
away from it, as if in fear.
We met our first defeat in the deadly combat, the
"Tug of War," when though greatly outweighed and
realizing defeat, we pluckily fought to the end. Our next
notable combat was the hand-to-hand fight on the cam-
pus, when the Freshmen could not reconcile themselves
to the fact that one of their number should be adorned
externally with as much greeness as he possessed inter-
nally. When time was called 1914 was declared the vic-
tor by the officials. This was a new laurel gained.
When we embarked on our second voyage, we were
determined that none but original tactics should be used.
Hence we obliterated the poster stunt at the beginning of
the year. However, when our "understudies" became
so disobedient and showed themselves so cowardly and
stupid as to supplement their Thanksgiving Dinner with
their regular banquet, we could not resist the temptation.
Consequent!}', posters very appropriate to the occasion
appeared mysteriously. Once more we were called upon
to defend our cruiser in hand to hand conflict. The fight
was a hard one and we did our best. At the finish it was
declared a draw. This ended hostilities up to this time
Next will come the basket ball contest and the de-
bate, bv which we expect to raise still higher and higher
the "Granite and Brown." Never was a class so
daring in deed; never a class more firm in adopting and
executing resolutions. These are the qualities by which
we hope to persistently continue our voyage until we
have moored our good ship " Progress " in the grand but
exclusive harbor "Success."

Class Poem
Ay ! bear her beloved banner np,
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky:
Beneath it has rnng many a victorious shout,
And the cry of the game loser, too.
What care we for the little lost.
We've carried many a vic'try through.
Her colors — "Granite Blue and Brown,"
To her boasted colors always loyal.
The campus scraps will testify
To her propensities for battle royal;
Pray ! do Freshmen think she's slow ?
Oh ! why did they prolong their vacation :
Oh 1 Freshmen how wonderfully clever and bold
In getting some " eats " and a little flirtation.
Nineteen fourteen, here's to thee,
May calm and sunshine long be thine;
How dear that name to every one
Of those who worship at thy shrine.
As to " Duni Vivimus, Vivamus" staunch and true
May we be to Alma Mater, too,
That in after years she may boast to claim
Nineteen-fourteen's honored name.

Class Historv
f^TTTj ILL they make good? This was the question
I yy asked by the various classes of Lebanon Valley
I^S^ College when we first appeared on the campus
at the opening of the school year. W'hile every-
body recognizes it as a positive fact that the Sophomores
regarded us as an easy proposition, we have proved to
them that ones fall may be as rapid as his rise. The
"Sophs," elated by their victories of last year, did not
even try to prevent us from organizing as a class.
From the first day we were busy trying to beat the
" Sophs " in every move. Since we knew all about their
poster plans, we startled them during the first week by
letting them behold the results of an early morning's
work. The posters glared them boldly in the face and
not so much was heard about Freshman "greenness" af-
ter that.
During our first week here we had taught the
" Sophs " to respect us, and although they grew so alert
as to watch our every movement, w^e managed to evade
them. The result of one of these evasions was a happy
straw- ride followed by a "feed." What ill success the
" Sophs" had trying to spoil our enjoyment in this event
is easily explicable when you see their wry faces at the
mere mention of the occu'.rence
Our athletic victories are events of which we can
justly be proud. The Sophomores, resting on the laurels
of the preceeding year, were confident of winning the
Tug-of War. But we very decidedly proved to them in
less than a minute's time that the battle was not to be
won until it was over. We struggled closely matched
for several seconds, but the Sophomores, unable to stand
the strain, wavered. Triumphantly we pulled them over
the line Fifteen times was this feat repeated and then
our discomfited opponents left the field, yielding us the
victory by the onesided score of sixteen to nothing.
Immediately following Thanksgiving, one of the
greatest successes of the season occurred. The Freshmen
under the very eyes of the " Sophs " slipped off to York
and there held their banquet at the National Hotel in re-
gal style. The consternation of the "Sophs" when they
missed the familiar forms of the "greenies" may be bet-
ter imagined than described. From morning till night
they had scouting parties on the jump searching in all
but the right direction, and although they scoured four
counties only four belated "Sophs" managed to reach
York. These tried to win notoriety by pouncing on a
lone Freshman as he was returning to the hotel. In-
stantly he was rescued by a band of his classmen who
routed the "Sophs" in short order. Nothing remained
for them but to go home and tell their disconsolate breth-
ren what an enjoyable time the Freshmen were having.
The natural result of this Freshman success was the
desire of the "Sophs" to redeem their former defeats.
With this burning desire first in their minds they hastily
got up a poster in which they were even honest enough
to admit our bravery One foggy morning, following the
78
banquet, after they had securely fixed the doors of a num-
ber of the biggest Freshmen, in order that their safetj'
might be insured, they mustered up sufficient courage to
mount their posters. Their night's work did not seem
to agree with them, for when we, the Freshmen, saw their
posters, we assembled and soon had the town rid of them
while they stood by meekly and looked on We answered
further by engaging them in a class scrap which grew so
interesting that the upper classmen interfered before its
climax.
But we do not let our athletic victories keep us from
improving our intellects and already we have shown our
skill in studies by successful work in every department.
Spurred on by our motto, " Spes sibi quisque," we will
strive to attain that end which we are so eagerly seek-
ing.— the broadening of our ideas through education.
But a word of parting and then my work is done,
The battle's never o'er until the fight is won.
The course of Time is speed}-, for his race he soon doth
run,
So let us work with diligence that our tasks be not un-
done.

Class Poem
Listen ! have you never heard
Although 'tis strange if not
Of our Freshman class of L. V. C.
That is always up to the ' ' dot ? ' '
Whenever we our colors show
Our faces are with pride aglow,
For have we not been very bright
In choosing the college colors " Blue and White? '
Of athletics, too, we're very proud.
And of our boys as well.
For it is they who win the games.
We all think are so "swell."
In this Freshman class there're just ten girls.
But that's enough they say,
For such charming maids like priceless pearls.
Are not found at any place and day.
But let us speak of our lessons now.
Which we do as well as we can,
Although the " Profs" get cross sometimes,
And say we're not doing what they demand.
Then there're some, who in Algebra
And some, who in French excel.
But as a whole, the Freshman class
Is doing pretty well
But now, alas ! too soon 'tis o'er,
This happy Freshman year.
And we'll leave these halls of L. V. C.
To return as ' ' Sophs ' ' next year.

Academy History
I
X THE year 1834, as near as can be determined,
there was a small private school near the site of
John L. Savior's & Son's Carriage Works on
White Oak street. This was the beginning of
Annville Academy. In 1S36 the school was removed to
a building on Main street, which in 1858 was replaced
by the old Academy building. In 1868 this was donated
to Lebanon A'alley College. The Academy then existed
independently of the college until 1904. At that time it
was made a distinct part of the college under the name
of Lebanon ^'alley Academy, with Prof. H. E. Spessard
as its principal. From then on the Academ\' has stead-
ily grown under his efficient direction. In 1906 a schol-
arship of one hundred dollars in Lebanon \'alley College
was first oflFered. This has been taken every year by the
pupil who has had the highest grades in the senior class.
In 1908 the students of the Academy organized a debat-
ing club, which met monthly. This was the first student
organization in the Academy. The strong foot ball and
base ball teams of that year testifx for the spirit of the
students. It was this same year that the senior class
first had a graduation exercise. The class numbered
twelve and showed in their commencement how efficiently
they had been the leaders of the Academy for that year.
The class of 19:0 numbered thirteen and proved equally
capable of leading its student organization. Though the
debating club was dropped the Acadamy still existed as
an organized body. Seven members graduated from the
Academy in 191 1. The entire enrollment during this
year was greater than ever before. The base ball season
was the most auspicious in the history of the Academy.
The entire team was supplied with nevv suits and all other
supplies with funds raised by the students in the Acad-
emy. The boys of this team won the majority of games.
Only with the aid of its hard working principal was such
success possible. The class of 1912 promises to uphold
the standard of the Academy. The senior class num-
bers fifteen. In athletics the students are trying to excel
the work of former years. An excellent schedule for base
ball has already been arranged with schools of equal
standing for the coming season. What was perhaps the
work of greatest importance for the year of 1911-12 was
the organization of the Sophronean Literary Society.
Nearly all the academic students are members of it. This
promises to be another important event in the history of
Lebanon \"alley Academy.

Academy Poem
I shall sing you a song
Now, not verj' long,
Of a bunch of gay boys
With their girls and their joys.
They strive. Oh! so high,
Nor breathe even a sigh
For the use of the verb
Or the troublesome word.
They're the sturdy young athletes,
Making marks with their cleats.
They're the leaders in sports,
Nor are seen out of sorts.
They're in for real fun
■When their day's work is done.
The Freshmen sit back
And the Sophomores quack
Since there is nothing of lack
To the Red and the Black.

Class Poem
The time has come when we must part
With saddened hearts 'tis plain to see,
We hate to part from classmates dear
And dear old L V C.
Through three long years we've studied some,
And learned our lesson well,
To the white rose we'll e'er be true.
For it our hearts will swell.
" Ad Astra Per Aspera " is our motto grand.
Its praises we will ever sing.
To " Lavender and White" we will alwaj-s bow,
Our song through all the world will ring.
We will ever think of dear old College Days,
Though the future unknown to ourselves.
Three cheers we'll give for L. V. C.
And the song for 19 12.
In music we've excelled.
We have always done our best,
On programs oft, in music hall.
And other duties grand.
But the glory we attained
'Tis not all for ourselves.
The honor goes to L. V. C.
And the Class of 19 12.

Class Poem
"O! Little Blue Forget- Me- Not,"
I find here in my way,
You take me back to L V. C.
To many a happy day.
Do you remember, little Flower,
Oar oratory classes.
And how you used to represent
That class of just three lasses ?"
"I remember when we chose you,
How wa laughed and wondered when
A time would come when we would think
Of those good times again;
And now that time is really here.
The years have rolled away.
And yet those happy times gone by
Do seem but yesterda^^"
"How we learned to keep our chests up high.
To alwa3-s stand erect;
And then the way that we would breathe
Had to alwaj's be correct.
How we learned poor Shakespeare's lines,
Gave many a thrilling scene!
And all our excuses we used to have signed
By our fooled and deluded dean."
"Society, parties, joint-sessions and all.
How we used to enjoy them then!
But early hours we had to keep
For preceptress insisted on ten.
(Though our feeds would often last long past that hour)
Those good times come back so well —
Ah! when we are speaking of dear L. V.
There's very much to tell."
"Ah! Now we are scattered far apart.
Each other we seldom see.
But to us all the memory is sweet
Of those times at old L. \'.
O! Little Blue Forget- Me Not,
I found here in my way,
I thank you for this memory bright
Of many a happy day."

Y. W. C. A. History
Religious influence among the girls radiates from our Y. W. C. A. The As-
sociation is just what every girl — avvaj' from home and its Christian teachings —
needs to help her solve the problems of good and evil. Religious experience can
not flourish on thought and feeling alone. Some specific work is necessarj'. The
Y. W. C. A. is an exercise room for a practical working faith. A deep significant
religious life is its ideal. It tries to set aside the weights of prejudice, of littleness
and of self seeking. It attempts to teach each girl how to live honestlj' and
fearlessly.
Every Sunday afternoon the Association meets to discuss practical questions
about a practical religion. Regular Bible and Mission Stud}' classes are conduct-
ed. During the past year the meeting place for these classes was the United
Brethren Suadaj' School. Mrs. Keister proved an able and inspiring leader and
the Y. W. C. A. wishes to express its appreciation of her services. A Reading
Circle is another feature of our Y. W. C. A. work. Last summer the Y. W. C. A.
procured for its members the privilege of attending the Y. W. C. A. Convention
for Cit)' Associations held at Mt. Gretna. Three delegates were sent to represent
the organization at the annual Convention for Student \'olunteers at Easton.

Y. M. C. A. History
The one college organization which oflfers unbounded opportunity for Chris-
tian service is the Young Men's Christian Association. Its place in a college has
long been determined and abundantly' empiiasized. Its value to college men has
never been sufficiently extolled. Within the very atmosphere of the college it
offers opportunities for service to those whose home ties have necessarily been
broken by absence from them. Of its men it is making earnest Christians prepar-
ing for a life of service to mankind. Its responsibility is enormous, for upon it
devolves the spiritual welfare of our body of students
The efforts of its offi.:ers have created a definite membership and have straight-
ened its finances. The membership has risen to about sixty: seventy five was our
aim. Two delegates were sent to the Bradford State Convention and the new
President atte:iled the conference at Dickinson College.
The week of prayer v^'as an inspiring week. Attendance throughout the 3'ear
has been almost remarkable with interest, increasing toward the end of the year.
At but five meetings of any kind did we have an attendance of less than twenty.
Bible and mission study have been successful this year.
The Association will present the "Merchant of Venice" during the Com-
mencement week. We aim to send a large delegation to the summer conference.

In Memoriam
Benjamin H. En^le
As students of Lebanon Valley College, we desire to
pay tribute to the memory of Benjamin H. Engle, who
on June 14, igir, died very suddenly at Hershey, Pa.
Mr. Engle was a noble Christian gentleman. In his
every day life he was a man of high ideals, who both, by
his own example and by personal services, sought con-
stantly to influence his fellowmen to higher and better
living . Always he was honest and true to his convictions
and lived a life above the reproach of men.
Mr. Engle was the son of Jacob and Elizabeth Engle
and was born near Stoverdale, Pennsylvania, April 12,
1853. His father dying wiien he was only fourteen years
of age, Mr. Engle was thus early in life thrown upon his
own resources. He began his business career by pur-
chasing one of the first steam threshers, with which he
earned the money to attend Millersville Normal School.
After finishing at this institution, he taught for several
leT-ms and then went to Pittsburg where he attended a
busi less college. Returning to the eastern part of the
state, he bought a large dairy farm near Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. Later, however, he grew interested in
building operations and soon moved to Harrisburg.
For the twenty-two years following, Mr. Engle was
known as a prominent builder and contractor. To him
belongs the credit of inventing a new system of building
suburban homes, and he developed his system so per-
fectly that one of the most beautiful sections of Harris-
burg lias been called Engleton in his honor.
In all phases of church and educational work Mr.
Engle was equally active and progressive. He helped
to establish the United Brethren Church at Penbrook and
was its tirst Sunday School superintendent. He was one
of the promoters of Derry Street Church in Harrisburg,
acting as chairman of the committee which purchased the
building-site and also as the first Sunday School superin-
tendent of the church. Twice he had the honor of being
elected from the East Pennsylvania Conference as the lay
delegate to General Conference.
In educational work he served as president of his
local school board and as trustee of Lebanon Valley Col-
lege from [898 until the time of his death. In 1900 he
gave to the college the Engle Conservatory of Music, a
splendid building of Hummelstown brownstone. Better
than mere words this handsome building tells of Mr. En-
gle's desire to do something worth while for others.
When all the other college buildings were destroyed by
the great fire in 1905, the Conservatory was the only place
in which the classes could meet. It was the foundation
upon which the present buildings were placed. For
nearly twelve years the students have used and appreci-
ated this splendid gift, and for many years to come in the
heart of every loyal son and daughter of Lebanon Valley
College it will keep the memory of Benjamin H. Engle
as green as the graceful ivy which clings so closely to its
walls.
139
Hon. William H. Ulricli
The name of Hon. William H. Ulrich will be long
cherished by Lebanon Valley College as one of her most
loyal friends. When he was a member of the Trustee
Board and later the President of the Board, he had the in-
terests of the school at heart and worked hard for their
best administration.
Mr. Ulrich, son of Adam and Mary Ulrich, sturdy
agriculturists, was born in Lower Swatara Township,
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, June 7, 1844. His early
education was received in the public schools to the town-
ship and later he entered Middletown Academj'. Here
his keenness of intellect and his generosity of nature made
him popular both among the students and the faculty.
After several years spent in teaching in the schools of
Dauphin and Lancaster counties he was elected an assist-
ant in the Middletown Academy and this position he held
for two years.
For the five years following he worked on the home-
stead, and at the same time pursuing the study of civil
engineering, which he had begun while teaching. This
portrays to us one of his characteristics, his determination
to succeed. At different times during these years he was
employed b}' the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and by
the National Pipe Line Company for different surveying
purposes.
Unbounded pluck and energy characterized also the
years of his business life. Many public buildings and
private homes now stand as a monument to him because
of his great interest in "Brown Stone." His quarries
near Hummelstown were the largest in the state. In
1885 he helped to organize the Farmers Bank of Hum
melstown and 1892 he was elected cashier, which position
he held until his death.
In public life Mr. Ulrich was a prominent figure.
He was elected in 1S86 Prothonotary of Dauphin County
and served six terms. Later he was chosen Clerk of the
Board of County Commissioners and Secretary of the
Board of Prison Inspectors He was delegated to repre-
sent Pennsylvania at the St. Louis Exposition, and in 1898
he was elected a Senator to the State Legistature. Here
he showed ability in representing the interests of his con-
stituents. His prominent positions on boards and com-
mittees shows the respect in which he was held by the
Senate.
Several lodges claim his membership, such as the
Perseverance Lodge, the Free and Accepted Masons, the
Patriotic Order of Sons of America and the Junior Or-
der of United American Mechanics.
In church life Mr. Ulrich was both active and influ-
ential, and was more than once elected a delegate from
East Pennsylvania Conference to the General Conference.
For many years he was director of the Mount Gretna
Campmeeting Association and also the Pennsylvania
Chautauqua. As a .iiember of the United Brethren
Church in Hummelstown he was both active and efficient
and for a long time served as Superintendent of the Sab-
bath School. It was owing to his untiring energy that
their new edifice was erected. It was dedicated only ten
days before his death, which occurred March 6, 1912.
In summing up his life, we would say the state has
lost in his departure: the county, foi which he worked so
long, will miss him, and Lebanon Valley College has lost
a true friend and generous supporter.

LITERARY
To Alma Mater
Our own Alma Mater, the fairest, the best!
We would not close these pages before
We had given the echoes of praise in our hearts,
To one we have oft praised of yore.
For we are tliy children — we've grown at thy side,
We walk in thy shadow each day.
As true sons and daughters, we honor thee now,
The' simple and poor be the lay.
We love every spot grown so dear through the years,
We love all that breathes forth L. \" ,
We are Clio and Philo and Kalo 'tis true,
But one in our labors for thee.
And those songs which we sing when the vict'rj^ is won
Or oft on the still air of night
Thrill each heart and forever in brotherhood join
Every soul to the "Blue and the White."
When soon — ah, too soon, we shall leave these old halls
And friends that we oft have met here.
For friends that are broader — fond memory's rays
Will linger to comfort and cheer
Forget thee, we cannot, tho' wander we may
And perhaps ne'er again gaze on thee,
Yet the thoughts thou hast moulded remain for all time
And the spirit prevails — loyalty.
Then onward to heights thou art striving to gain,
With a prayer for the greater L. V ,
We will go forth to honor thy cause and thy name
That our children thy glory may see.
And the years as they bring better things to thy store,
Bring us all truly wiser to be
Till the light of the motto our forefathers gave
Dawn upon us — the truth that makes free

A Leap-Year Soliloquy
To wed, or not to wed, — that is the question,
Whether 'twere better to wait four years yet
And run old maid chancts, or to decide
Once and for all, this great, great matter
And have it over ? To wed, ah me.
Shall I ? And by so doing bring about
More heart-aches and increase the thousand woes
Humanity is heir to, — 't is a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To wed, perchance
And wed the proper man, ay — there's the rub.
If not, then single blessedness for me.
But I must pause In this respect
Too many make calamity of Hte;
Yet who would take the risk — and 't is a risk
Of waiting, getting more old maidish,
More insensible to the calls of love and less likely
To think of moving from this virgin soil,
When one herself might solve it all
With a mere proposal ? Who would stop long
At study and at pondering careers
But that the thought of that great something, marriage
(Upon whose sea once launched there's no returning
In life or death ) puzzles the will
And makes us bear the ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of ?
Thus like to Hamlet are we cowards all.
And thus the "psychic glow" of resolution
Is sickled o'er with the pale thought of men,
And opportunities which come to greet us seldom
We turn our backs upon, with this conclusion —
The creatures are not worth it. But soft!
That roguish Cupid! — Boy, in thy bright eyes
I fear my boasts mean nothing.

Biology Class Prayer
Now as I lay nie down to sleep
May I the frog in memory keep;
If I should name his bones before I wake,
Forgive me, Lord, 'twere by mistake.
For since this study we've begun.
To build a frog "I'rof " thinks is fun:
With Mento meckelian, we begin.
Pick out the bones to make his chin.
Thus do we his framework raise,
And think we then deserve some praise;
But ''Prof" with notions of his own,
Says "Frogs consist of more than bone."
We next insert the parts internal.
Give him habits most nocturnal;
Then Mylo hyoid first of muscle.
With which begins our mental tussle.
Around all this we wrap his skin;
Now we've frog without and frog within.
Give him a kick, saying, "Take your place.
With croaking frogs, the meadows grace."
John F. Leininger, '13.

My Independence Day Oration
Feller Citizens: I hav bin onored with an invite to
appear before you on this grate, gellorious, auspicions
and suspicious occashin. The feelin's what I feel is
more easier described than imagined. The patriotic and
distinguished crowd what I sees before me is celebrated
for its devoshin to the Union and things. Your teown is
famous all over the world for its onions and its payterit-
ism; and to be requested to paws and address you on this
grate and gellorious occashin rayther takes me down and
fills my sole with varus kinds of emoshins. I cum be-
fore you with no hily mannered intellick, j'ou won't git
no floury langwidge out of me I'me a plain man My
father was a carpinger and I me a planer.
Feller Citizens: It don't matter to me what any wun
thinks of me. I speak what Ive got to speak. I'me no
polytishin. I've no enemys to reward or friends to
spunge. I'me a Union man from the bottom of me hart
to the top of me boots. I luv every hoop-pole in Maine
and every sheep ranch in Texas. The cow pastures of
New Hampshire are as dear to me as the rice plantations
of Mississippy. There is mean critters in both of them
'ere states and there is likewise good men and troo.
Fellers- Fellers: It don't look very purty fur a lot
of inflammatory individuals who never lifted their hand
in defence of Ameriky or did the first thing toward skur-
ing our independence, to git their backs up and sware
they'll dissolve the Union Too much good blood was
spilt in courtin' and marryin' tiiat hily respectable fe
male, the Goddes of Liberty, to get a divorce frt m her at
this late day. Tlie old gal has behaved herself too well
to cast her off now at the request of a lot of darned ad-
dle brained men and wimmen who ne\er did nobody any
good and niver will again.
Feller Critters: I'me sorry the pictures of the God
dess niver giver her no shoes or stockin's but the band of
stars round her hed must continuer to shine briter and
briter so long as this airth resolves reound on her own
axle tree. I me for the Union now and forever and may
the hand of the first onery cuss wither who attempts fur
to bust her up.
Once more, feller critters, remember the words of the
grate Gineral Shakspeard:
"Eturnal liberty is the price of vigilunce;
Bee \'irtoous and you will be free;
In de pen dunce is the thing —
And we're the boys to boost on't."

Found — On a Door
Having been extremely ill and discovering that my
recuperative powers are of inadequate ability to meet the
occasion with dignity, it is at pre^^ent a matter of native
realism, that is to say, common sense, that I confess it
to be asymptotically impossible to appear before my
Ethics class to day Pari possu or, however, I suggest,
or propose for consideration notwithstanding the fact
that I do not autlioritatively request that the concatena
tion of students which the class in Ethics embodies, out
of a spirit, meaning that part of man that has intelligence
and is invisible and incorporal. out of a spirit of loyalty
and of explicit yearning in the direction of the subject of
transcendental freedom, go through with the class ques-
tions and comments as in the ordinary course of events.
I likewise suggest that you appoint a leader (Mr. Wert
or Roberts is suggested) from your number to preside
and devote the entire hour to a free but orderly discus-
sion of the subject, in such a manner that the total signi-
ficance of ,t may be obtained both teleologically and
theologically and tliat appreciate judgments may be
formed, according to the pseudo scientific method.
This is not required, but is proposed as an oppor
tunity for the expression of loyalty, that is to say, esprit
de corps. According to the temporal sequence of affairs,
speaking empirically, you will deserve though not neces-
sarily receive extravagant commendations for it, not-
withstanding the fact that superficially it will in no wise
alter your class grades. It is merely a favorable occa-
sion for the spontaneous expression of esprit de corps, an
opportunity for realizing the sensation of psychical glow
or tinge iridescently.
To recapitulate, this involves an immense tempta-
tion, but we increase as a living organism, we approach
our goal of self realization only by encountering and
conquering great temptations in the true radio-synthetic,
configurative manner.
For the class discussion immediately succeeding this
one of transcendental freedom, peruse and apprehend the
contents of Royce's lecture or formal discourse concern-
ing "Loyalty to Loyalty." Epitomize this lecture, make
it your own, and react upon it egotistically, altruisti-
cally, and above all "alma materistically."
Signed,
(One of our profs.)

" Midsunimer-Nij^lit's Dreitni "
It was the middle of summer, one of those evenings
when heaven and earth are hushed to a silence, sad and
painful. The hour was almost midnight and the bright
moon, high in the sky, completely flooded the campus of
our dear old college. Never had she looked grander.
Did we say everj'thing was still? The cricktts sang in
the grass growing tali, but there was no other sound It
was a beautiful and impressive scene and one was obliged
to feel with the poet: —
" If thou wouldst view old L. V. right
Go visit her by bright moonlight."
Everything spoke of desertion and the thoughts quite
naturally compared these days with those vihen the build-
ings had resounded with the voices of happy lads and
lassies. Yet such was the peace and beauty that it seem-
ed rudeness to mar it with the mere suggestion of noisy
student life.
The crickets sang on and the moon rose higher in the
sky. The moonbeams, like playful children, chased each
other about Many of them were creeping up the sides
of the tall, imposing buildings. One very brave and dar-
ing ray seemed bent on making her way into the dormi-
tory— the Ladies' Dormitory. She had resolved to get
in through the parlor window and she did get in. No
one saw her except her ever watchful niother, and she
made no remonstrance.
In less time than it takes to tell she had fallen in and
tumbled down upon the carpet. She soon regained her
feet, however, and began immediately to take in the sit-
uation It was just midnight — the hour when inanimate
things take on life, when church yards yawn and other
mysterious things happen. Vet there was no sound, the
silence was death like By the brightness of the night
she could distinguish certain dark objects scattered
throughout the two rooms. One of these was the old
piano. This tired body was taking advantage of her op-
portunity and was sound asleep The chairs, too, stood
in their places like well behaved sentinels and, keeping
their arms in place, showed no inclination to move to-
wards each other. Thev never walked in their sleep.
The moonbeam was an inquisitive little creature and
she was determined to find out all she could. Still it was
her right and privilege, being in such close connection
with an educational institution. Her steps, however,
were faltering as she made her way towards a long, dark
object in the corner. Perhaps she felt insignificant and
out of place in those vast, luxurious rooms. If she had
only known ! Those parlors are said to foster the most
humanitarian feelings which ever dwelt in the mortal
body. There all classes meet on a common level and
there is no such thing as distinction. Freshman and
Sophomore. Senior and "Prep" all harmonize there by
mutual consent. It is true that there is a kind of roman-
ticism in the air, and it may have been that which efifected
the moonbeam.
At last, however, she reached the dark object which,
like everything in the room, was sleeping soundly. This
dark object proved to be none other than the large divan
of the "dark parlor." The moonbeam touched him
gently with her warm breath, and Endymionlike he
awoke.
"O! I didn't mean to disturb you," she said upon
hearing the groan which came from the depths of that
massive body. " I am very sorry."
" I am so worn out, so tired, but it is all right that
you have awakened me. Look at me and you will see
that I am in need of rest. I did not always look like
this," and then the moonbeam noticed that the one side
of her friend was much lower than the other, as if some
one had knocked down a shoulder.
" O, my," she said, "do they treat you so badly —
what do they do to make you look like that? "
" Why don't you pity me, too? " came a much of-
fended tone from the other corner, and a sob of distress
followed. The attention of all was directed to that cor-
ner, for if pity was needed it was there. The little divan
had not only one but both of his sides caved in The
visitor turned to her friend — there seemed to be a strange
attraction between the divan and the moonbeam.
"Isn't it dreadful," she said, "I don't understand
it. Won't you explain to me."
" Yes," said he, "it is hard to bear all these things,
but I would not give up my task for the world. I will
wear myself out in this service and utter no word of com-
plaint. My brother over there cries sometimes Thej'
treat him worse than me, and he is so much smaller. He
cries because he is afraid he will die before me. 1 am a
favorite in one way, for they always choose me first, but
when they leave they always stay over there."
"And who are they?" asked the inquisitive little
stranger, wide awake with wonder and excitement.
" Why, the boys and girls, of course. Sometimes
these rooms are just full of them, and they are the most
interesting people! \A'e have many secrets, my brother,
I and our friends, the Palms, who will return next Fall.
O, we have so many secrets that, if they were written,
they would fill books."
"This is wonderful, — and the girls, tell me about
them. How do they look?"
"O, they are black haired, brown haired, yellow-
haired and all shades in between. They have glad eyes,
sad eyes, dreamy eyes, mischievous eyes and any other
kind, but they are ali my girls, or they have been once,
only the girl with the black curls My friend, one of the
Palm Brothers, will allow no one else to care for her."
And the moonbeam laughed and danced about before
she asked the next question. "And what did they tell
you ? ' '
"Well, I have heard them talk about everything
from the weather to the heathen. When they first came
to me they liked to talk about the weather, but my
brother says he has never heard any comment on that.
It seems they don't say much when they go to stay with
him. As I was telling you, the Palm Brothers are much
interested in the girl with the black curls and a few oth-
ers, too. And I am inclined to believe they are schem-
ers. They plan tjsing to their visitors gently, you know,
and I am afraid the attraction is going to draw them all
away by and by. Then my brother and I will be out of
fashion
" What do they sing?" came next
" Well, I don't know much about music — you see I
don't get around and my education is rather along one
line. Isn't there a piece called " Daisies Won't Tell ? "
I believe I heard my Palm friend mention that one time,
and the next morning he told me about some talk of cold
noses, which made us both laugh. And, I remember,
they sang selections from " The Chocolate Soldier " when
the preceptress entertained the French professor in this
room. He is such a little, dignified, soldierly somebody,
and she always feeds him chocolate. Oh, they would
make such a romantic couple, just like Romeo and
Juliet."
The voice of the speaker was getting hoarse, and the
visitor noticed it.
" I must go now, " she said, "I have been asking so
many questions, but may I not ask one more ? What
becomes of these boys and girls ? "
Just at that moment there came a sound of music far
away and then nearer. " I^isten," said the divan, and he
seemed filled with a new life. " Do you recognize the
tune? I know it well. It is Mendelssohn's Wedding
March. And here come my boys and girls ! "
The moonbeam turned her gaze towards the door
where they were filing in two by two. She counted and
counted until she forget where she was and then stopped.
They passed through the two rooms noiselessly and then
faded away in some strange manner.
" Are those all your children, are they all there? Is
the girl with the black curls there? "
" No, she still belongs to me. but I do not doubt
that s'.ie will join them sometime Those were all my
children but thev are not all I ever had. Some that I
expected to see were not among them. It is too bad,
too bad 1 ' '
They listened once more The melody had changed.
It was no longer Mendelssohn but the sad, tender strains
of the " The Lost Chord " Both realized the significance
of those words and bowed their heads until the last notes
had died away. Neither spoke a word but seemed to be
waiting. The unseen musician anticipated their wish
and fiintly, but with exquisite interpretation, began once
more, and finally that most soothing of all compositions,
"Consolations." Those selections explained to the
moonbeam everything better than could have been told
her in words.
Sne heaved a sigh and was about to bid farewell to
her friend, but he still looked upon the floor and seemed
to be mute. He neither spoke nor stirred. She bad
moved so far away from him that she was unable any-
more to touch him. Had his fond heart broken or had
he fallen asleep to dream of his boys and girls once
more? She knew not, but she tiptoed away softly lest
she might disturb his rest.
A shadow fell upon the spot where slie had so lately
been. All was silence. The big divan with his knocked-
down shoulder and the little divan with hiscaved-in sides
ware as dead m;n. The big, healthy looking fellow in the
light parlor had heard nothing. It was seldom that he
awoke. Only the moonbeam knew, but she hastened
away to tell it to the moon mother, and if that gossipy
old lady does not confide it to every star and satellite in
heaven, she will not be living up to her reputation.

An Extract From a Freshman's Diarv
May 5th :
Well, dear old Diary, I have neglected you of late.
You'll forgive me when I explain just how it happened.
Dear old Confidential Chum, you see it was this way,
I'm in love, up over my ear-tops. It's a deuced fired
thing to be in love, but I can't help it. She's a peach-
erina, believe muh. That GIRL is some class. I simply
can't help myself at all. My old heart goes flipnity flop
and it's my first case too. I'm mad, confidant, mad as a
March hare. The boys played a d dirty trick on me.
And fellows that I thought were my friends, too, that's
the rub. I don't see any harm in seeing the GIRL once
in a while. On Friday we had a game of ball. Of course,
I took her. Then that evening we went to the Anniver-
sary and the Reception afterwards. I came home early;
we only talked till 12 p m , HELEN and I, there I told
you HER name, I didn't mean to do that. Well I made
a date for the next day. Had lab all morning, couldn't
see HER then. In the afternoon, we went out for a walk.
SHE asked me to bring down my violin, SHE said PA
would like to hear me play. That was all right to take
down my violin, wasn't it, old "Di? " Well I went any-
way. Somehow or other HER Dad didn't show up. I
was sort of glad he didn't for we had a peach of time
without him. I forgot to play, too, by the way. I liked
HER company so I made more dates for Sunday. I love
dates. We went to church in the A. M. Some of the
boys kidded me but I know they're just jealous, that's
all. After dinner we went for a walk. Say, "Di," if
a fellow loves a GIRL and the GIRL loves the fellow,
tell me, whose business is it anyway ? We came back
and as it was late for supper at the Dorm SHE asked me
in for supper. That KID is some sport all right. By
Gee! "Di." but I made a hit with the Old Man. Say I
just made that old violin of mine speak for him. My
violin! Oh! I had left it there the night before, you
know. After that we went to church. I don't remem-
ber what the text was, but say maybe that GIRL hasn't
some dark brown eyes. Then we went home. Doesn't
the moon look exquisite when a fellow's heart has that
funny feeling that he can't express ? We had a nice
time in the parlor, by Jove. By the way, that GIRL is
economical too, she doesn't believe in the unnecessary
burning of lights. I like that. Well, we were talking
about the weather or something like that when the door
bell rang. SHE fixed HER hair with a deft push here
and there and tlien SHE answered it. What in the Hades
do you think, old "Di," was on the porch? There stood
my trunk and valise. Those blooming idiots of scala-
wags of class-mates of mine led by my room mate (Oh!
I'll break every bone in his body yet, see, if I don'tj had
packed all my duds up and brought them down on the
front porch Holy suffering lightning rods, but I was
mad I said good night rather hurriedly. Cuss them
anyway, made me lose two hours of good pleasant pleas-
ure. I finally managed to roll that old trunk up to the
164
Dorm and carted the valise back too. Then I got busy.
I chased Mac all over the Dorm but the little shrimp
escaped me. But I got even, I got his mattress and car-
ried it off and when I finished his room looked as if a
deluge, hurricane, typhoon and cyclone struck it all at the
same time. I fixed Lerew, too. His room was a sight,
I tell you. I'm feeling better now, "Di. " Igot revenge
anyhow, and somehow when I think of HER I just for-
get all my anger. It beats the dogs how that CHICK
runs in my mind. Say, "Di," SHE'S giving a recital on
Tuesday night. Judas Priest! I'm fussed. Going to
send her a bokay. Guess, I'll hock my dress suit. Got
to raise the dough someway. By golly, "Di," I'm some
shark. Left my violin down there, now I'll have an ex-
cuse to go after it. Gee! I got an idea. I'm going to
leave it there. Always have an excuse then. I'm get-
ting sleepy, dear. I'll not forget you anymore. I'm go-
ing to tell you more about that little bright brown eyed
GIRL Oh ! I almost forgot, when we were out to day
tue sun (son) kissed HER and SHE has such a nice coat
of tan. I like brunnetes. Just wait til Tuesday night,
"Di," I'll be there with bells on. Good-night, "Di,"

Misery and Its Causes
(with apologies to dr. devine)
This subject has been chosen by the author because
of its prevalent characteristics among college students.
Some come to college in misery, some achieve niistiy,
and some have misery thrust upon them. Part of the
students are miserable all the time and all of the students
part of the time Thus we hold that misery attendeth
each and every student at one or another time
There is much discussion as to whether the misery
existing among college students is due to any fault of
their own or whether other causes and ciicun stances con-
spire, over which they have no control. To shorten a
long story, we assert that heredity and maladjustment are
the chief causes of the present niiserv.
As to maladjustment, the greatest instance of which
is, that philosophical, classical and scientific environ-
ments surround some helpless and deluded human beings,
who are not so framed and fitted; their efforts in these
respective lines areas awkward as those of a blacksmith
in a millinery. However, this case causes more misery
to the onlookers than to the victims themselves, for while
in misery they are not conscious of the fact, a case where
ignorance is bliss. Then again, how pitiful is the scene
when those aspiring students of song, who imagine they
can sing, who really cannot but do not know it, have as-
sembled for scrub glee club practice, and happily survive
the sudden deluge. It is purely a case of maladjust
ment. Then again, dear reader, remember that awful,
fantastical, supernatural night of the unfortunate acci-
dent of the unsuccessful hypnotizing exhibition. Much
misery and ni>;ht long anguish resulted therefrom. Hu-
man nature is prone to err and ofttimes the results there-
from iiave found many a student at midnight in company
for which he was poorly adapted, wdiose costumes were
strange to him and whose purposes he fulfilled with great
pain.
However, the greatest maladjustment in the course
of a student's career is when an exceedingly hard exam-
ination faces him, and he has entered the class room too
late to get a back seat, and is consequently forced to oc-
cupy the first row. This is distinctly a great cause of
misery as no profound knowledge of horsemanship or pre-
vious experience as a copyist is of any avail. Nothing
remains but to "flunk" and then drink the bitter dregs
of misery in the seclusion of his room.
A study of social problems usually embraces thesub-
ject 'Out of Work." This is no exception with the stu-
dent. While some positions in life are of a steady na-
ture and take much time, that of a college student is quite
different. In fact, even after the "grind" has done all
his work, there remains three or four hours out of every
twenty-four in which he has nothing to do but sleep.
This is great waste True there are several shelves of
reference books to be read as side work in History and
Economics, several shelves more and an encyclopedia for
174
the English course, eight or ten hours every week to be
spent in the laboratory and every afternoon in hunting
botany specimens. Then agiin, each lesson in the classi-
cal course only requires four or five hours for translation.
There are also mathematics and chemistry, to sav nothing
of philosophy which can be mastered without almost any
effort whatever. Add to this the simple review, exami-
nation every two weeks, and the finals twice a year and
there still remains two or three minutes after each meal
in which a student has nothing to do and consequently
he becomes miserable.
Another consideration is "Out of Health " This is
due to two reasons: too much gymnasiirm work and
over eating in the dining hall. In the first instance, the
absence of a "gym" causes the mind too much strain in
imagining beneficial exercises and nervous prostration re-
sults. In f.ie latter case, too much soup, which is all
liquid and little substance, causes the stomach to becom^
fagged out in trying to extract nutritious essence.
The last but not the least consideration is "Out of
Friends." The abnormal appetite caused by over eating
in the dining hall ofttimes causes students to appropriate
live stock, poultry, etc., in order to satisfy their physical
cravings. This causes the animosity of the bereaved
parties. Oh! Misery!
Again maladjustment forbids the male gentry admit-
tance to the sacred precincts of the Ladies' Parlor. The
poor student is denied the privilege of even talking to the
ladies on the preceptress' steps. No friends can be made
without acquaintanceship. So the abused student, driven
to despair, has nothing to do but to go to Lebanon, and
being "out of friends," he will probably be "out of
money." This causes much misery and more inconven-
ience. Oh! misery! And the horrors of misery!

Domestic Science
Prof. Seltzer.
The work of this department covers two years. The
course is an invaluable one to the girls of the college,
for it develops in them individual power, quickness of
observation, coherence of thought, exact reasoning, ability
to measure correctly to an infinitesimally small degree
and an inclination to cook.
This course has been arranged for three reasons :
First, because Lebanon Valley College, having won
for itself the name of " match factory " proposes to turn
out matches in which the head will not strike on account
of any friction with his better half in caring for the inner
man.
Second, because requests- have come in from young
men of this college and others that certain girls receive
such training if possible.
Third, that the girls may have a reason for relieving
the college of the burden of superfluous milk, butter, etc:
DESCRIPTION OF COURSES.
M. A. — Four hours, three hours' practical work and
one hour lecture on caring for burns and cut fingers.
Throughout the year. The object of the course is to give
the student a broad general knowledge on baking meat.
stewing bread and all other fundamental processes of
cooking. Experiments are performed in the basement of
the Girls' Dormitory. Each girl is supplied with a chaf-
ing dish, knife, fork, SPOON and garbage can. Required
of engaged girls. Elective for others.
M. N. — Eight hours throughout the year. Two
lectures on food values or the cost of food, six hours ex-
perimental work. This is supplemented by special work
in the rooms. A careful study is made of fudge (how to
make, pack and send), welsh rarebit, "angel food,"
"devil food," spaghetti, "divinity," and plum pudding.
Any girl who finishes the course is guaranteed to be capa-
ble of ruining a man's digestion in six weeks and on
graduation will receive a recommendation to that effect.

A Breakfast in the Parlor on a Sunday Morning
I do not want to be personal, neither do I want to
display my ignorance in table etiquette, but I have a
rather interesting story to tell my friends at L. V. who
were not able to be present at the breakfast table cere-
monies given in the honor of Miss Sohnjon, the Second,
on April 28, 19 12, in the Ladies' Parlor.
Three weeks before the new Miss Sohnjon alighted,
the whole table was invited to take breakfast with the
two Misses Sohnjon in the parlor. I could hardly resist
the temptation to be at this great society affair, betides I
thought I might as well take all I could get in my course
at college. Also since it is very hard for me to get any-
thing from books, I thought that it would be a first class
way to get it by observation. On the Saturday evening
before the thing was to come off, I spent three hours in
searching through Hyde's Practical Idealism for material
to compose a little prayer in case I should be called on
to say grace. Then I set the alarm for 7 o'clock and re-
tired.
In the morning, I never heard the alarm and about
7:30 one of the boys was kind enough to waken me. I
jumped out of bed right into my Sunday costume and start-
ed forthe Ladies' Dormitory. When I got there only the
male side of the house had arrived and thej' were sitting
patiently waiting for the feminine gender of the tribe.
Two of the girls came shortly and then everything was
ready to begin the ceremonies as soon as the "Sohnies"
came.
Around the corner camethe taller of the two. It re-
ally looked to me as if she had three feet, but when the
momentum decreased I saw that there were only two.
As she came in, all the invited guests arose (the others
remaining seated), and this struck me so funny because I
was never used to rising until the class was excused. And
while I was in this excited state she grasped my hand
and said, "I am mighty glad to meet you." I replied,
"So am I," and took my seat again. By this time I saw
the other absentee make her appearance and then all was
ready to begin.
Breakfast was ready. Well, I knew just what to do
then, because, you see, I had been there before when the
gong for meal time sounded. I arose again and know-
ing Miss H rather well, I asked her to be my escort.
I posted her that in case I should make any mistakes she
should tramp on my toes. She consented and I took a
seat next to her My little prayer that I had written the
night before I had fastened in the palm of my hand by
means of adhesive tape and not receiving the honor of de-
livering it, I tried to get rid of it without being seen. It,
however, stuck so firmly that I abandoned the attempt.
Of course, this made it rather hard tor me to hold the
fork just as Miss Sohnjon, the First, had taught me.
After the invocation we were ready to partake of the ne-
cessities of life spread before us
I never was very choicy nor was there very much
choice there, but at that time I did not know that we were
180
to have different courses. For the first course we had
one of those great big oranges, I suppose all of you have
seen them already. They are usually for sale at the gro-
cery opposite Simon Funk's barbering establishment.
This orange was cut in half and each one received one
half of a whole orange. I expected to get the other half
for desert, but my expectations were not all realized, as I
learned later on. Now the first half, not the latter, I sup-
pose the waiter got the latter half, or else I had the
latter half of somebody else's first half or the first half
of somebody's latter half, anyway, as I was saying, the
half that I did have (laying the other half aside) was
covered with beautifulred cherries. These went down
and got mixed with the gastric juice very well but I had
an awful time with the rest of the fruit I will not
weary you with a detailed description of what went
,on. I didn't like to leave some of it in because I thought
it might look as if it wasn't good enough for me. But I
will tell you all when I tell you that the boundary line of
my half no longer looked like a circle but somewhat like
a parallelogram.
The next course — we each got a dish of sliced ba-
nanas. I thought I understood how to eat bananas all
right. I got my fork and after eating a few of the slices
I came to a cake of shredded wheat, so I stopped eating.
To my horror I perceived that they had all been waiting
for me to pass the sugar. So in a hurry I picked up the
sugar bowl and grabbed the first spoon that I could lay
my fingers on. Later on in the course I noticed that I
had put the gravy spoon in the sugar instead of the sugar
spoon. I was enjoying everything pretty well until Miss
H accidentally stepped on my foot. 1 quickly ap-
plied the air brakes to my chewing apparatus. I thought
that now I was discovered in some new mistake. In order
that I might fully observe, I picked up my napkm and
wiped off the lower extremity of my physiognomy. I
just couldn't see anything out of place, so I gave my col-
lar a tug and proceeded.
Then we had a conglomeration of flitch and eggs. I
heard the toastmaster call it bacon and eggs, but mv
mother always called it flitch. I take mother's word for
it. It tasted all right, but the time I had cutting it. The
one piece was fried so hard that when I cut it a small
piece flew off and missed my cranium by only a half inch.
After the minimum capacity of my stomach was reached,
I got up from the table. I picked up my hat and wanted
to go but my escort said that it would not be courteous to
leave immediately, so I sat down. I had so much pain
in my corn that had been disturbed in the midst of the
ceremonies that I hardly knew what to do. The only
thing I could do was to laugh. But one time when one
of the jokes was sprung I was the only one to laugh. I
can't to this day see the point in it, but I pretended as if
I was very quick in catching on.
I told the members of the gang three times individu-
ally and four times collectively that I wanted to go over
to the dormitory and get ready for church before they
agreed to disband. I didn't feel well that whole day, nor
the next, so I went down to Simon and got an electrical
massage which fixed me up great.
No more banquetsin the Ladies' Parlor for me.

A Toast
To these who have cared for our helpless infancy, guided
the faltering steps of our childhood, always encouraged what
what was noblest and best in us — to whom we owe all of the
good we now possess and all that we hope to be, —
To Our Parents
The doll and the soldier are covered with dust,
The girl and the boy have gone.
A longing and prayer fills the mother's soul,
Father feels that his joys have flown.
Time was when the children were all their own
And life was one happy strain,
But somehow the music has all gone out,
Can't be quite the same again.
"Now don't you worry, mother," he says —
"I'll be back real soon, you know."
But she feels a sadness which deepens more
Each time that they come and go.
For she knows they are dreaming of other things.
Yet she dreams right on with them too.
Oh! the years are many, the years are long.
But our parents are always true.
Aye, faithful to daughter and son, they stand.
Back in the same old place;
Tho' they feel no touch of a little hand.
No smile of a little face.
Oh, friends! As we follow ambition's way.
Let's think of those childhood toys,
And not forget 'tis our duty yet
To act like "their" girls and boys.
