AFTERGLOW. 


The  afterglow  is  a  lingering  smile 

When  the  Sun  has  passed, — 
A  solace  left  to  a  shadowed  world 

For  night  is  vast. 

The  Sun,  a  giver  of  gifts  is  he: 

But  the  sun  beats  down 
Too  fervent  oft, — and,  murmuring, 

We,  foolish,  frown. 

The  Sun  forgives  our  futile  words, 

For  he  must  know 
We  cling  to  him;  and  so  he  sends 

The  Afterglow. 

The  Carontawan  is  a  lingering  smile 

From  days  gone  past, — 
A  solace  close,  for  in  light  or  darkness 

Life  is  vast. 

Gifts  of  great  price  our  school  days  bring, 

While  yet  we  play 
At  mockeries  light,  which  do  not  cloud 

The  final  ray. 

The  sun  returns,  but  our  school  days  die: 

Their  light  we  know 
From  phantom  gleams — The  Carontawan — 

Catherine  Urell. 

The  Afterglow.

DEDICATION 

To  Harvey  J.  Van  Norman,  B.  S.,  in 
recognition  of  the  thirty-three  years  of 
faithful  service  at  Mansfield  State  Normal 
School,  which  entitles  him  to  his  place  as 
dean  of  our  Faculty,  and  in  deep  gratitude 
for  his  sympathetic  kindness,  personal 
helpfulness,  and  valued  friendship,  the  Class 
of  1919  affectionately  dedicate  this  Caron- 
tawan. 


HARVEY  JUSTIN  VAN  NORMAN,  B.  S. 

Prof.  Van  Norman  was  born  at  Jasper,  Steuben  County,  New  York,  August  6, 
1852.  He  received  his  early  education  at  the  Woodhull  Academy  and  Canisteo 
Academy.  He  taught  some  time  in  the  rural  schools  of  Steuben  County  before  going 
to  Cornell  University  where  he  registered  in  the  Scientific  Course.  He  graduated  in 
1878  with  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science.  A  few  years  later,  he  returned  to  Cor- 
nell to  take  a  special  course  in  Geology,  English  Literature,  and  Modern  Languages. 
After  graduating  from  college,  he  was  made  Principal  of  Schools  at  Almond,  Woodhull, 
Rushford,  N.  Y.  In  1883,  he  came  to  Pennsylvania  as  Principal  of  the  Lawrenceville 
High  School  where  he  taught  until  1886.  The  same  year  he  was  elected  to  the  Faculty 
of  the  Mansfield  State  Normal  School  where  he  has  served  to  the  present  time.  This 
year,  of  course,  completes  his  thirty-third  year  of  service.  During  this  time,  he  has 
been  under  four  Principals:  Dr.  D.  C.  Thomas,  Dr.  S.  H.  Albro,  Dr.  Andrew  Thomas 
Smith,  and  Dr.  Wm.  R.  Straughn.  He  has  taught  English  Grammar  continuously,  and 
Arithmetic  from  1893  to  1903.  Othe'-  subjects  which  he  taught  are  Bookkeeping  and 
Penmanship  (1907-1915),  Pedagogy  (1901-1907),  Civics  (1887-1893),  and  French 
since  1908. 

Prof.  Van  Noiman  has  always  worked  hard  for  the  general  good  and  uplift  of 
M.  S.  N.  S.  He  has  given  generously  of  his  time,  energy,  and  talents  to  help  the  school 
attain  its  present  high  standard  of  efficiency.  In  the  hearts  of  the  Alumni,  and  former 
students  of  the  school,  he  holds  a  place  of  high  esteem;  and,  it  is  with  a  feeling  of  deep 
respect  that  they  wish  him  many,  many  years  of  health,  happiness,  and  prosperity.

EDITORIAL 


There  must  be  pioneers,  and  to  pioneers  belongs  a  unique  glory;  but  that  the  work 
of  pioneers  may  live,  there  must  be  followers,  and  to  such  there  is  the  glory  of  those 
who  "carry  on."  The  latter  glory  belongs  to  the  Class  of  1919.  At  the  offset,  we  wish 
to  state  that  we  are  aware  of  the  debt  we  owe  our  piedecessors  of  '18,  and  that  we  feel 
truly  grateful  to  them  for  setting  us  so  worthy  an  example  in  the  publication  of  a 
Mansfie.d  Normal  School  A  >.nual.  We  have  tried  to  fulfill  our  obligations  to  them  and 
to  the  standard  they  set. 

Early  in  October,  1918,  the  Senior  Class  met  to  nominate  the  members  of  the  Staff 
of  the  Year  Book,  and  within  a  few  days,  the  burden  of  immediate  preparations  had  been 
shifted  to  the  shoulders  designated  for  it.  From  that  time  forward,  plans  and  work  for 
the  Book  have  been  so  vital  a  part  of  our  interests  and  activities,  that  it  is  difficult  to 
keep  a  history  of  its  progress  from  becoming  a  personal  record.  Some  rather 
disheartening  difficulties  have  been  encountered,  but  the  Class  has  been  united  in  the 
deteimination  that  there  must  be  a  1919  Annual,  and  has  given  to  the  Board  sympathy 
and  co-operation.  And  here  we  wish  to  thank  all  who  have  assisted  the  class  in 
realizing  the  ideal  whose  substance  is  now  in  your  hand. 

During  the  past  year  Mansfield  State  Normal  School  has  seen  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  Unit 
come  and  go;  has  seen  the  girls  who  favored  self-government  triumphant  over  the 
upholders  of  the  "benevolent  despots";  has  seen  a  severe  epidemic  of  Spanish  influenza 
met  by  such  efficient  resistance  that  our  numbers  are  left  intact;  has  felt  the 
world-encircling  influence  of  Peace  realized  through  the  victory  of  Democracy;  has  seen, 
through  all  these  events,  the  Carontawan,  permitted  to  gain  strength  and  form  and,  we 
hope,  value. 

The  departure  of  the  Unit  caused  the  Board  to  lose  the  efficient  services  of  Mr. 
Navle,  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  representative.  His  position  has  since  been  filled  very  capably 
by  Mr.  Evans. 

"What's  in  a  name?"  This  question  often  has  been  asked,  but  never  has  been 
definitely  answered.  Nevertheless,  we  who  believe  in  the  potency  of  words  cannot 
choose  but  believe  in  the  force  of  a  name  given  in  purposeful  consciousness.  In  preparing 
the  Mansfield  Normal  Annual  for  1919,  it  was  thought  best  to  retain  the  name  of  last 
year's  publication  for  our  Book,  thus  assuring  the  eont'nuation  of  The  Carontawan  as  an 
institution.  There  were  several  good  and  sufficient  reasons  for  such  a  decision.  When, 
last  year,  suggestions  for  the  title  of  the  Annual  were  to  be  submitted,  we,  as  Juniors, 
were  allowed  to  participate  in  the  contest,  and  the  most  fitting  name  was  selected  from 
proposals  by  the  school  at  large.  The  word  Carontawan  is  a  musical  and  distinctive 
name  for  the  Book.  Moreover,  its  meaning  appeals  to  the  hearts  of  all  of  us.  "The 
Little  Town  on  the  Hill"  has  been  our  home  long  enough  to  become  endeared  to  us;  and, 

13 


in  another  sense,  these  words,  so  simply  effective,  convey  to  us  the  idea  of  the  school 
itself  as  a  community,  housed  in  the  picturesque  hills,  which  in  themselves  are  a  symbol 
of  star-ward  aspiration.  "I  will  lift  up  mine  eyes  unto  the  hills,  from  whence  cometh 
my  help." 

The  keynote  of  this  Book  is  Mansfield  State  Normal  School,  and  the  main  theme  is 
the  Senior  Class.  As  nearly  as  is  compatible  with  this  aim  we  have  endeavored  to  give 
the  subject  matter  a  tone  of  general  interest,  while  omitting  the  irrelevant  in  great 
matters  or  small.  All  the  melodies  woven  into  our  Normal  days, — the  maitial  hymn  of 
pure  and  high  endeavor,  the  psean  of  victory,  music  descriptive  of  the  life  and  character 
of  the  the  people  of  our  class,  the  light  strain  of  laughtei,  the  dominant  chord  of  Faculty, 
even  the  wailing  echo  of  the  dirge — find  esch  its  peculiar  place  i:i  a  production  which 
has  grown  up,  as  does  Folk  Music.  Where  discoids  may  have  crept  in,  we  pray  your 
swift  turning  of  the  page  to  more  congenial  song.  So  we,  as  mere  producers  of  what 
the  school  itself  in  its  daily  life  has  created,  offer  this  Carontawan  in  the  hope  that,  as 

"Heard  melodies  are  sweet,  but  those  unheard 
Are  sweeter," 

an  echo  may  be  found  in  your  soul  to  this  silent  symphony  from  "The  Little  Town  on 
the  Hill." 


Opportunity 

There  may  be  differences  of  opinion  as  to  whether  each  one  of  us  has  a  particular 
mission  to  accomplish  in  this  world,  or  whether,  as  Shakespeare  expresses  it, 

"There's  a  Divinity  that  shapes  our  ends, 
Rough-hew  them  how  we  will." 

However,  no  one  will  be  likely  to  deny  the  fact  that  there  is  work  enough  in  the 
world  to  go  around;  and  that  no  one  needs  to  be  without  an  occupation,  especially  if 
such  a  one  desires  to  become  a  useful  member  of  society  and  not  to  live  as  a  mere 
cumberer  of  the  ground. 

Everyone  should  feel  himself  in  duty  bound  to  endeavor  to  make  the  world  a  little 
better  than  he  found  it,  by  adding  his  own  contribution,  however  insignificant,  to  the 
sum  total  of  human  well-being  and  happiness. 

We  cannot  all  of  us  occupy  prominent  positions  in  the  great  task  of  reconstructing 
a  world,  for  we  are  not  all  qualified  to  do  so;  and  moreover  somebody  must  do  the 
common,  necessary  duties  of  life,  but  none  the  less  important  because  they  are  ordinary. 

We  can  do  our  share  in  helping  others,  in  cheering  the  sorrowful,  and  in  bearing  the 
burdens  of  those  less  strong  than  ourselves. 

Should  any  become  discouraged  over  the  seeming  failure  of  cherished  plans,  or  the 
non-realization  of  high  ideals,  they  should  take  courage  by  the  thought  that  failures  are 
the  forerunners  of  success;  that  many  eloquent  sermons  are  lived,  not  spoken;  that  some 

14 


of  the  finest  poems  are  found  outside  of  the  printed  page;  and  that  the  most  potent 
forces  for  good  often  bear  fruitage  in  later  years  or  even  in  later  generations. 

The  gates  of  opportunity  are  never  entirely  closed  against  those  who  sincerely  seek 
to  enter  therein.  The  following  poem  expresses  a  sentiment  of  optimism  that  will 
benefit  all  who  read  and  heed  its  teachings. 

OPPORTUNITY 

They  do  me  wrong  who  say  I  come  no  more 

When  once  I  knock  and  fail  to  find  you  in; 
For  every  day  I  stand  outside  your  door, 

And  bid  you  wake  and  rise  to  fight  and  win. 
Wail  not  for  precious  chances  passed  away; 

Weep  not  for  golden  ages  on  the  wane; 
Each  night  I  burn  the  records  of  the  day; 

At  sunrise  every  soul  is  born  again. 
Laugh  like  a  boy  at  splendors  that  have  sped, 

To  vanished  joys  be  blind  and  deaf  and  dumb; 
My  judgments  seal  the  dead  past  with  its  dead, 

But  never  bind  a  moment  yet  to  come. 
Though  deep  in  mire,  wring  not  your  hands  and  weep; 

I  lend  my  arm  to  all  who  say,  "I  can!" 

— Walter  Malone. 

The  Seniors,  in  deciding  to  publish  this  number  of  the  Carontawan,  thus  emulating 
the  praiseworthy  example  of  last  year's  class,  have  performed  a  most  commendable 
work.  In  the  face  of  great  difficulties,  they  have  chosen  to  go  forward  instead  of 
backward,  and  there  will  be  no  one  to  question  the  wisdom  of  their  course.  This 
accomplishment  no  less  than  that  of  the  Class  of  1918,  will  prove  to  be  an  inspiration 
and  a  source  of  happiness  to  all  friends  of  the  School. 

The  Board  of  Editors  and  all  others  who  have  had  a  share  in  carrying  this  work 
through  to  a  successful  conclusion  are  to  be  congratulated  on  their  ability  and  fidelity 
in  the  discharge  of  duty;  for  their  zeal  in  making  so  good  a  use  of  their  opportunity  to 
uphold  the  honor  and  spirit  of  the  Institution,  which  is  so  dear  to  all  of  us. 

The  writer  wishes  to  express  his  gratitude  to  the  Class  of  1919  for  the  courtesy  of 
dedicating  to  him  this  volume  of  the  Carontawan,  and  to  wish  for  every  member  of  the 
Class  the  heartiest  God-speed  in  all  future  undertakings.

She  has  a  ready  giggle 

That  is  always  bubbling  up, 
She  advocates  good  spirits — 

Not  the  kind  we  get  in  cup. 
A  bright  and  amiable  lass  we  say 

And  taken  altogether 
The  kind  of  friend  you  want  about 

In  fair  and  cloudy  weather.

DOROTHY  ASHLEY 

Emersonian  Society. 


Mainesburg,  Pa. 


Allow  us  to  present  Dorothy  Ashley.  Good  to  look  at, 
isn't  she?  We  knew  you'd  say  that.  And  she  doesn't 
disappoint  your  expectations  when  you  learn  what  lies 
beneath  that  agreeable  exterior.  She  is  likable,  lively, 
full  of  fun,  and  it  doesn't  seem  to  burden  her  at  all  to  be 
numbered  among  those  exemplary  people  who  are  al- 
ways prompt,  efficient  (witness  that  Model  School  dis- 
cipline) and  neat.  An  unusually  good  student;  she  has 
so  many  subjects  to  her  credit  that  she's  taking  elocu- 
tion, in  order  to  utilize  her  time — and  talent! 


NETTIE  ADAMS 

"First  in  name,  first  in  station. 


Millerton,  Pa. 


First  in  peace — the  peaceful  studious  pursuits  in 
which  Nettie  always  reaches  her  goal.  And  while  those 
brown  eyes  usually  are  twinkling  with  fun,  we  wonder 
if  they  couldn't,  on  provocation,  snap  fire — and  so 
prove  her  to  be  first  in  war? — "if  fight  we  must."  On 
the  third  point  there  is  not  a  shade  of  doubt:  that  this 
bright  and  jolly  little  maiden  is  first  in  the  hearts  of 
her  countrymen  (which,  being  interpreted,  means  all 
Normal  people).  May  you  come  out  ahead  in  every- 
thing Nettie.

ERNESTINE  BARNES  Rummerfield,  Pa. 

•'Tiny" 

Athenaean  Society. 

This  black-haired,  attractive  girl,  neither  short  enough 
nor  thin  enough  to  justify  her  nickname  of  "Tiny",  is 
Ernestine  Barnes.  Living  at  Mansfield  Normal  teaches 
one  that  a  girl  who  seems  shy  and  retiring  doesn't 
necessarily  retire  with  "Lights  Out";  and  Ernestine 
doesn't  even  seem  that  way;  but  those  wild  days — and 
nights  were  before  our  roommate  became  proctor,  eh, 
Ernestine?  Business-like,  practical,  talkative,  and 
-winsome  is  Ernestine.  "Tiny"  has  a  big  heart,  but  her 
heart  strings  are  not  left  flying  about  at  the  mercy  of 
any  stray  breeze. 


MARIAN  BARNES 


Emersonean  Society. 


Starruca,  Pa. 


Lovable,  excitable  Marian  who  roams  in  our  midst, 
lives  for  the  dance.  Oh,  how  she  can  dance!  Marion  is 
fond  of  the  "movies",  and  the  "side  seats",  tennis  and 
the  benches,  basket-ball  and  the  "balcony"  particularly 
if  decorated  with  Holly.  We  do  not  forget  to  mention 
her  music.  She  plays  well  and  comparatively  willingly. 
We  do  not  blame  her  for  objecting  sometimes,  for  every 
moment  at  the  piano  is  one  lost  when  she  might  be 
and  longs  to  be  dancing.  Besides,  her  pout  is  charming. 
We  like  Marion;  may  she  be  happy!

"Puckers" 

Fiist  Vice-President  Y.  W.  C.  A.;  Student  Council; 
Athenaean  President;  Assistant  Editor-in-chief  of 
Carontawan. 

An  unusual  sort  of  person — everybody's  friend  and 
a  friend  to  everybody:  capable,  dependable  and  talented. 
A  wonderful  and  clever  faculty  of  impersonation  we 
learned  early  last  year  was  hers.  As  a  comedienne 
Harriet  has  no  peer  in  M.  S.  N.  S.  Her  acting,  spon- 
taneous and  natural,  evokes  roars  of  laughter.  Not  only 
is  this  resourceful  person  content  to  impersonate 
characters  of  another's  creating,  but  must  needs  write 
plays  of  her  own — which  are  amusing  and  lively.  Sen- 
sible, jelly,  efficient,  is  this  Scrantonian.

LERA  BARTOO 


Harrison  Valley,  Pa. 


"Jim" 


Emersonian  Society. 

Lera  isn't  half  as  stern  as  she  appears  at  first  sight. 
Keen  and  searching  glances  she  gives  from  those  deep- 
set  eyes  of  hers,  which  make  the  Model  School  delin- 
quent squirm  and  quake.  Frank,  generous,  and  eter- 
nally good  natured  is  she.  "Jim"  is  an  excellent  bluffer 
—too  bad  to  give  her  away,  but  she  is,  really.  If  she 
does  not  know  the  question  suddenly  aimed  at  her,  she 
looks  thoughtful  and,  blandly  answers,  "Why,  I  don't 
just  recall."  Jolly  and  fun  loving,  with  a  marked  fond- 
ness for  clothespresses  and  an  acute  sense  of  hearing. 
Success  be  hers! 


GORDON  BATCHELLER  Knoxville,  Pa. 

"Batch" 

Emersonian  Society;  Carontawan  Board;  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
Cabinet. 

Well,  here's  a  noisy  fellow  all  right,  offensively 
vivacious  as  it  were.  Yes,  "Batch"  is  quiet  and  no  mis- 
take. Sober  and  abstracted  is  his  almost  habitual  ex- 
pression. Perhaps  his  soberness  and  silence  are  occa- 
sioned by  the  fact  that  he  is  listening  for  the  "Knell". 
One  of  "Batch's"  greatest  charms  is  his  winning  smile 
which  brightens  and  lights  up  his  whole  face.  Its  rare- 
ness makes  it  all  the  more  winning  and  attractive,  too, 

the  smile  we're  speaking  of.     Batcheller,  we  like  you, 

and  wish  that  everything  good  may  come  your  way. 


FRED.  J.  BEDENK  Mansfield,  Pa. 

Varsity     Football,     Basketball,     Baseball;      Captain

"What  care  I  when  I  can  lie  in  rest", 
Kill  time  and  take  life  at  its  best." 

This  is  the  renowned  "Dutch",  one  of  Mansfield's 
biggest  athletes  and  a  bigger  rough  neck.  The  Model 
School  generation  quake  and  tremble  at  the  very  sound 
of  his  voice  or  the  thump  of  his  approaching  footsteps. 
With  a  high  degree  of  efficiency  has  he  captained  our 
'19  basketball  team.  As  to  his  scholastic  attainments 
we  refer  you  to  the  faculty.  While  not  a  ladies'  ma:i, 
"Dutch"  is  a  social  favorite.  You  can  see  for  yourself 
that  his  countenance  is  enchanting.  Who  would  not 
fall  for  such  chaims?     May  the  best  be  yours,  "Joe".

VERA  BELL 


Alta  Petens  Society. 


Olyphant,  Pa. 


Here  is  a  lass  with  a  glint  of  gold  in  her  hair  and 
pretty  blue  eyes.  She's  full  of  life  and  sparkle.  Never- 
theless there  is  a  great  deal  of  common  sense  stored 
away  in  that  head  of  hers.  A  merry  sunshiny  disposi- 
tion is  Vera's.  'Twould  be  hard  to  find  a  girl  more  full 
of  pep.  Easy  going  is  Vera  too,  never  becoming  sulky 
and  uncompanionable  because  the  world  does  not  run 
just  to  please  her.  Have  we  mentioned  Al  ?  No  bell 
that  rings  (not  even  the  rising  bell)  pleases  Al  quite  so 
much  as  Vera.     Here's  the  good  will  of  the  class,  Vera. 


ORIN  BELLOWS  Knoxville,  Pa. 

"Bell" 

Emersonian  Society;  Scrub  Basket  Ball. 
"  Tis  industry  that  supports  us  all." 

We  wondered  for  some  time  just  what  to  say  about 
"Bell"  for  this  is  his  first  year  among  us  in  M.  S.  N.  S. 
Last  year  he  was  at  State  College  and  according  to  re- 
port his  work  there  was  par  excellence.  A  great  ad- 
mirer of  the  fair  sex  is  "Bell" — the  fairer,  the  better. 
But  his  affections  are  not  very  stable.  They  concentrate 
in  one  place  such  a  short  time.  At  present  they  are 
concentrated  on  one  little  dusky,  "black-eyed"  girl 
among  us.  As  to  his  ability  we  know  that  he  is  an  ex- 
cellent student.     Success,  "Bell." 


RACHEL  BOWEN 


Mansfield,  Pa. 


Here  is  Rachel — Rachel  of  the  chestnut  tresses  and 
rosy  cheeks  (by  which  we  do  not  mean  to  imply  that 
she  belongs  to  the  vegetable  kingdom!)  Although 
Rachel  was  here  two  years  ago,  she  went  back  to  High 
School  for  a  year,  especially  so  she  could  graduate  with 
us — or  could  that  High  School  diploma  have  been  any 
inducement?  At  all  events,  we  are  grateful  to  the 
chance  that  gave  our  class  this  member  with  her  sen- 
sible ideas.  We  like  her  for  them, — but  mostly  for  her- 
self! Rachel,  besides  completing  "regular  Normal"  is 
learning  to  be  an  elocutionist  and  a  stenographer. 


31 


LENA  BOYCE  Grover,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

This  slip  of  a  girl  was  accorded  the  honor  of  being 
assigned  to  teach  grammar  in  the  Noimal  School;  but 
we  suspect  that  it  never  occurred  to  Lena  to  be  proud 
of  this,  or  any  other  achievement.  Her  matter-of-fact 
way  does  not  conceal  her  universal  kindness  and 
generosity.  We  have  it  on  good  authority  that  this 
demure-looking  maiden  is  rather  intimately  connected 
with  some  of  the  more  frivolous— and  less  silent  active- 
itles  of  her  neighborhood.  But  we  don't  mind,— and 
he.e  are  our  best  wishes! 


HARRY  N.  BRENNEN 


Carboridale,  Pa. 


"Doc,"    "Podge" 

Alta  Fetens  Society;    Y.  M.  C.  A.  Cabinet. 

Very  early  we  became  awaie  of  "Podge's"  wonderful 
detective  ability  and  were  cften  reminded  of  the  fact 
that  he  is  from  Carbondale.  He  won  his  title  as  "Doc" 
thru  the  "psychological  view-point"  of  his  opinions,  and 
his  renown  for  having  a  girl  in  Pittsburg  He  is  a  man 
in  whom  responsibility  can  be  placed,  always  loyal  to 
his  friends,  and  we  prophesy  that  in  a  few  years  we 
will  be  very  proud  to  say  that  we  graduated  in  the  same 
class  as  he. 


HAZEL  BROOKS 


Mansfield,  Pa. 


"Hazie'' 


This  is  Hazel.  Quick  with  her  sympathy  and  with 
her  materkl  aid  and  assistance.  Do  you  want  any  so:t 
of  restorative?  Apply  here.  We  might  profitably  re- 
ce've  a  few  lessons  in  unselfishness  from  this  quarter. 
Jolly  and  fun  loving  is  Hazel,  a  girl  of  many  interests. 
He  -  chief  interest  is  her  Kindergarten  work  in  which 
we  hear  she  is  clever  and  ingenious,  with  a  peculiar 
knack  for  managing  children.  We  who  puzzle  over  the 
perplexing  problem  of  Model  School  discipline  wonder 
aiout  her  methods.  Perhaps  she  beats  them  up  oc- 
o  casionally.     Happiness  and  success  be  hers.

PHILIP  A.  CAMPBELL  Burlington,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society;  President  Y.  M.  C.  A.;  Caron- 
tawan  Contributor. 

If  "Fhil"  came  down  the  street,  would  "Billy  Stahl"? 
When  we  first  knew  "Phil"  he  was  deeply  envolved  with 
the  ultimate  triumph  of  the  ethereal  mind  over  common 
place  matters.  If  you  wish  to  start  an  argument,  talk 
to  "Phil".  With  his  chosen  profession  of  law  we  are 
sure  he  will  succeed.  Is  he  innocent?  Well  from  his 
looks;  but  if  you  knew  his  whole  career  you  would  hate 
to  make  that  statement  under  oath.  An  excellent  Y.  M. 
C.  A.  President,  a  staunch  friend,  a  "cracker  jack"  stu- 
dent, and  a  fellow  of  a  great  deal  of  ability.  Here's 
to  "Phil." 


DERNA  CARLEY  Ulysses,  Pa. 

In  Derna  we  find  an  ambitious  student  who,  with 
quiet  determination  sets  about  to  fulfill  her  ambitions. 
Her  motto,  'tis  said,  is  "Better  late  than  never,"  but 
somehow  we  cannot  imagine  Derna  lagging  behind  the 
procession.  No  gloom  is  impenetrable  to  the  rays  of 
her  cheery  smile  and  the  shafts  of  her  optimistic  words. 
Her  face  is  aglow  with  interest  and  her  grey  eyes  snap 
fire.  We  believe  that  this,  our  wish  for  her,  includes 
all  the  good  possible:  may  your  success  equal  your 
deserts. 


MARJORIE  CHAFFEE  Rome,  Pa. 

BRAINS!  Every  letter  a  capital!  There's  such  an 
abundance  of  them  and  they  are  so  well  developed  that 
honestly  we  expect  to  see  thern  ooze  out  of  her  head 
some  of  these  days.  (Or  can't  brains  ooze?  Dear, 
dear!  why  must  one  be  exact?)  A  keen  sense  of  humor 
and  thorough  appreciation  of  a  joke  are  there,  too. 
Marjorie  chatters  Latin  like  a  magpie  and  solid  theo- 
rems and  trig  problems  seem  to  roll  off  the  end  of  her 
tongue.  A  willingness  and  readiness  to  help  others 
makes  her  much  beloved  among  her  friends.

MARIAN  CLARK  Elkland,  Pa. 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

Marian  is  such  a  wee  piece  of  humanity  that  we  are 
prone  to  believe  that  she  must  have  strayed  too  far 
from  pigmy  land  into  ours.  Big  gray  eyes  are  hers 
and  a  smile  ever  ready  and  sweet.  Blithe  and  gay, 
glad  to  be  alive  and  wishing  and  making  all  about  her 
happy.  A  disposition  to  be  envied.  Dance!  She  could 
dance  forever.  We  should  not  be  surprised  to  hear  that 
this  spritely  damsel  had  danced  on  the  lid  of  her  coffin 
at  her  own  obsequies.  Marian's  admirers  are  many. 
A  very  jolly,  natural  person,  full  of  vim  and  pep.  We 
like  her. 


ANNA  CLEMENT1  Old  Forge,  Pa. 

"Annie" 

Emersonian  Society. 

You  behold  in  this  damsel  one  Anna  Clementi, 
With  fun  and  good  nature  and  kindness  a-plenty. 
Her  heart  is  true  blue,  though  often  unruly, 
She  loses  her  head — but  she'll  murder  us,  surely. 
"Annie,"  is  really  indispensable.     We  did  not  realize 
how  very  indispensable  Anna  was   till   the  memorable 
"Flu"  epidemic  proved  her  capabilities.  Jolly  and  amus- 
ing is  this  ardent  daughter  of  Italy,  with  the  big,  black, 
luminous  eyes.     A  peculiar  restlessness  possesses  Anna 
which  compels  her  to  roam  about  halls  at  all  hours.  Our 
best  wishes  go  with  you,  Anna. 


GLADYS  COBB  Scranton,  Pa. 

"Cobby" 

Athenaean  Society;  Ass't  Editor  of  Carontawan. 

Gaze  for  a  moment  on  the  countenance  of  our  spritely 
Gladys.  Tis  said  that  at  the  northern  end  of  third 
floor,  Gladys  not  only  invents  most  of  the  "recreational 
projects"  there  enacted,  but  is  adept  at  "carrying  on," 
for,  besides  doing  her  class  work  in  satisfactory  man- 
ner, she  dances  and  acts  (oh,  how  she  can  act!)  and 
reads.  Her  many  recitations  as  well  as  her  recital  will 
long  linger  in  our  memories.  She  can  be  serious,  but 
never  gloomy,  happy,  good-natured,  careful.  May  her 
foitune  be  as  sunny  as  her  smile.

MARGARET  COLLINS  Leolyn,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Margaret  the  serene,  the  ever-the-same.  The  most 
delicately  tinted  cheeks,  soft  brown  hair  and  gray  eyes 
with  a  delightful  little  squint,  combine  to  make  a  face 
at  which  you  could  and  do  gaze  long  and  interestedly. 
She,  too,  claims  the  distinction  of  belonging  to  the  fre- 
quently mentioned  Hospital  corps  and  she's  as  lively  as 
any  of  them  except  perhaps  our  irrepressible  Helen. 
A  child-like  faith  in  everything — for  instance  she  writes 
eimost  anything  on  her  Physics  experiments,  being 
perfectly  sure  that  they  aren't  looked  over  anyway. 
Here's  luck,  Margaret. 


NELLIE   COLWELL  Susquehanna,   Pa. 

A  rather  quiet  and  retiring  little  damsel  is  Nellie. 
But  do  not  be  deceived  into  thinking  that  she  isn't  well 
supplied  with  ideas  of  her  own  and  the  courage  of  her 
convictions.  As  she  doesn't  "tell  the  world"  about  her- 
self, many  of  us  feel  not  very  well  acquainted  with 
someone  whose  friendship  would  be  worthwhile.  Most 
good  things  return  with  the  Spring,  but  each  year,  after 
an  autumn  spent  away  from  our  sweet  society,  Nellie 
comes  back  to  us  in  the  winter  term — as  a  Chirstmas 
present,  let  us  say. 


RAYMOND  CONNORS 

A  tall  and  rather  dashing  Irish  type,  with  black  hair 
and  blue  eyes,  and  a  most  attractive  manner,  as  one 
colleen  confided  to  us.  Very  capable  is  he,  and  accord- 
ing to  apostolic  succession,  he  became  Top-Sergeant 
during  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  epidemic.  He  has  the  serious  and 
self-confident  manner  of  a  recognized  Apollo.  He  shines 
in  his  class  room  work.  On  the  whole,  he's  a  good  fel- 
low and  all  like  him.

ALICE  COURTRIGHT 

"Al" 

Emersonian  Society;  Student  Council 
Here's  to  one  whom  we  all  know 

And  gladly  do  we  wait. 
For  her  to  go  to  breakfast 

Altho'  we're  sometimes  late. 
She  isn't  very  tall 

In  fact  she's  rather  short 
But  she  is  happy  all  day  long 

If  mirth  is  true  report. 
We  know  she's  fond  of  forests 

And  walks  past  many  a  curb 
There's  a  reason  we  all  know — 

In  forests  we  find  "Herb." 


Duryea,  Pa. 


MARGARET  CULLEN  Scranton,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

Impressionable,  jolly,  friendly,  dare-devil  Margaret — • 
widely  known  and  universally  popular.  She  can  study, 
she  can  teach,  she  can  pass  her  exams;  on  the  other 
hand  she  can  sing,  she  can  dance,  she  can  play — 
honestly  she  can  do  almost  anything  which  she  so  de- 
sires. It  is  a  pleasure  just  to  meet  Margaret.  She  has 
a  pleasant  cordial  smile  and  nod  for  everyone.  Lots  of 
pep,  good  sense  and  a  laughable,  unhappy  faculty  of 
being  caught  in  the  very  act.  As  regards  men, 
Margaret's  ambitions  are  not  very  modest — "Either  a 
Captain  or  a  Foreman,"  she  says. 


HAZEL  DAVIDSON  Wyoming,  Pa. 

"Shorty" 

Tall,  slender,  dark  and  mischievous,  quiet  and  aloof 
when  unacquainted,  but  most  surprisingly  jolly  on 
occasions.  Independent  and  a  trifle  stubborn,  but 
there's  plenty  of  good  nature  and  affability  to  over- 
balance these.  Witty  is  Hazel,  a  regular  Irish  wit, 
though  she  stoutly  maintains  she  is  pure  English. 
Oodles  of  mail  reach  Hazel — and  much  of  it  bears  an 
unmistakably  bold  masculine  hand.  Brothers,  no  doubt. 
Easy  going  and  reckless  she  may  be  at  times  but  she  en- 
joys life  and  lives  it  with  zest.  May  she  never  have 
any  cause  to  enjoy  life  less  or  live  it  with  less  zest.

HARRIET  DAVIES  Rendham,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

You  have  no  need  of  your  "specs"  to  see  Harriet. 
Always  on  hand,  full  of  pep,  vigor,  and  enthusiasm — 
that's  Harriet!  She  seems  to  take  everything  from 
long  hikes  (without  permission)  to  the  Influenza  (for 
which  one  doesn't  need  permission)  with  fine  im- 
partiality. She's  up  one  instant  and  down  the  next — a 
regular  bouncing  ball!  She  studies,  too;  even  carries 
extras.  But  she's  not  a  grind,  and  always  has  time  to 
do  everything  for  everybody.  A  hearty  good  fellow  we 
find  her,  and  her  "Howdy,  sister!"  will  echo  through 
the  halls  of  M.  S.  N.  S.  for  years  to  come. 


HELEN  DAVIS  Mansfield,  Pa. 

Oh,  Helen,  with  your  smile  so  bright, 

And  mischief  in  your  eyes, 
We'd  like  to  know  if  it  is  right 

For  you  to  be  so  wise? 
They  say  you  charm  them  by  the  score, 

— Of  course  we  mean  the  boys — 
And  still  we'd  never  guess  a  bit, 

Why  don't  you  make  some  noise? 
I  guess  you  do  it  with  your  charms, 

Your  eyes  so  brown,  your  gentle  grace, 
And  yet,  I  think,  when  thoughts  go  deep, 

It  is  that  smile  upon  your  face. 


ALMA  DECKER  Pittston,  Pa. 

Alta  Petens  Society;  Member  of  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Cabinet; 
Ass't  Athletic  Editor  of  the  Carontawan. 

Hurrah  for  Deck!  Did  you  ever  see  any  one  more 
"pepful"  in  your  life!  As  cheer-leader  she  makes  the 
welkin  ring  with,  "One  for  the  team — yea!"  Sometimes 
rhe  fo:  gets  and  yells,  "One  for  Decker — yea!"  for  really 
she  is  very  frank  and  naive  about  appreciating  her  own 
worth.  Deck  is  wonderfully  gifted  with  her  brush. 
Fond  of  sports  and  prominent  in  all  M.  S.  N.  S.  activ- 
ities. Speech  never  fails  Deck.  Even  at  a  spread  she 
is  never  too  full  for  utterance  and  when  not  explaining 
a  joke  is  lauding  her  precious  "Reidy"  to  the  skies.

RUTH  DECKER  Mansfield,  Pa. 

Big-  brown  eyes  and  oceans  of  lovely  brown  hair  are 
among  Ruth's  physical  attributes.  A  natural  scholar 
with  a  particular  fondness  for  good  books.  How  she 
loves  to  joke!  And  how  she  loves  to  astonish  us  all  with 
her  wondrous  tales  of  adventure  End  intrigue.  Many  a 
class  recitation  has  been  livened  and  varied  by  one  of 
Ruth's  graphic  descriptions  of  some  harrowing  event. 
A  vote  of  thanks  be  hers.  Ruth,  be  careful  with  those 
dusky  Oi  l.s.  For  who  is  it  says  "Brown"  eyes  hold  such 
charms  for  me!     We  wonder.     Our  love  to  you. 


LEORA  DIMON  Rome,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

Her  intimates  call  her  "Dime,"  but  they  wish  it 
clearly  understood  that  the  name  is  in  no  way  indicative 
of  her  worth.  We  are  quite  ready  to  believe  them.  As 
proctor  she  acted  with  efficiency  and  modesty.  Anyone 
desiring  information  should  consult  Leora,  for  she  is 
sure  to  have  an  answer,  whether  or  not  it  is  even  re- 
motely connected  with  the  subject  in  hand.  On  one 
subject  she  does  not  enlighten  us, — namely,  the  whyness 
of  that  dreamy  look  when  her  blue  eyes  seem  to  pen- 
etiate  a  not-too-distant  future.  We  hope  that  future 
may  be  bright,  Leora. 


PANSY  ERWAY  Mansfield,  Pa. 

With  her  jet-black  hair  and  brown,  shining  eyes,  she 
seems  well  to  fulfill  the  promise  of  her  name.  We  are 
a  little  doubtful  whether  "Hearts'  ease"  is  the  right 
interpretation  to  put  upon  this  name,  for  it  is  whispered 
that  she's  not  as  demure  as  she  looks.  Judging  from 
her  work  in  classes,  we  should  say  that  she  studies 
faithfully.  Be  that  as  it  may,  'tis  said  that  knowledge 
of  the  human  face  is  the  line  in  which  she  excels.  In 
her  case,  doubly  appropriate  is  the  line:  "Pansies  mean 
thoughts  and  thoughts  mean  you."

HELEN  EVANS  Taylor,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Airy  faiiy  Helen  who  looks  as  if  the  slighest  puff 
of  wind  might  carry  her  off.  But  it  never  will  and  I'll 
tell  you  why.  Tis  not  puffs  of  wind  that  carry  us  away 
from  here  but  great  gusts  of  discouragement,  discon- 
tent and  laziness.  These  simply  blow  right  over  Helen's 
little  head.  They  can't  touch  her — she  is  fortified  with 
an  impenetrable  armor  of  determination  and  energy, 
which  are  her  safeguards.  A  will  like  iron  is  hers.  One 
who  gives  and  shares  and  lives  and  enjoys.  Lots  of 
spirit  she  has — so  much  in  fact  that  it  crops  out  as 
temper  frequently  in  energetic  but  short  lived  and 
ha:mless  spurts. 


HELENE  EVANS  Parsons,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society;  Treasurer  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

This  dark-haired  slender  lady  is  one  we  all  love.  She 
is  ambitious  and  cheerful.  She  works  contentedly  on 
from  morning  until  night  with  never  a  sigh.  Oh  yes, 
she  likes  fun  as  well  as  the  rest  of  us  but  business 
buzzes  in  her  brain.  No,  Helene  never  has  so  much  to 
do  but  that  she  has  plenty  of  time  to  listen  to  your 
troubles  and  sympathize  heartily  with  you.  If  she  wor- 
ries, no  one  knows  it.  She  is  the  same  dandy  good  girl 
every  day  of  the  year.  So  here's  to  Helene — Success 
and  happiness.

"Never  do  today  what  you  can  put  off  till  tomorrow". 
Jerry  is  versatile,  however.  If  studies  were  his  only 
ambition  he  would  no  doubt  lead  his  class;  as  for 
athletics  we  only  have  to  point  to  his  successful  year 
as  "Captain  and  Drawback"  of  the  late  "Spider  Team". 
When  there  is  any  trouble  in  South  Hall  it  is  as  hard  to 
find  the  culprit  as  it  is  to  discover  food  at  a  meal.  If 
the  unit  were  here,  "Jerry"  would  no  doubt  be  a  L'eut., 
"The  Nutty  Loot."  His  favorite  pastime  was  rolling 
hickory  nuts  down  the  side  walk.     Result,  Guard  House.

MARY  EVANS  Seminole,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Utterly  irresponsible  happy-go-lucky,  care-free  Mary! 
A  typical  hail-fellow  well-met!  Indiscreet,  quick  tem- 
pered, unreliable  ?  Oh,  yes.  But  irresistibly  likable  and 
the  best  all  around  bluff  in  the  school.  Mary's  idea  of 
a  good  time  consists  of  lights,  laughter,  men,  eats  and 
the  intricate  mazes  of  the  dance,  quite  an  expert  tripper 
on  the  light  fantastic  she  is,  too.  Did  you  ever  chance 
to  find  her  studying?  No;  nor  did  anyone,  then  how 
account  for  the  accurate  and  unfailing  recitation.  Well 
Mary's  mind  is  like  a  sponge.  One  fleeting  glance  at 
her  books  seems  to  suffice.  Daring  and  headstrong 
you  are.     Oh,  Mary — Be  Careful! 


RUTH  MARY  EVANS  Carbondale,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

"Ruth  Mary"— doesn't  the  name  just  exactly  suit 
her?  Sweet,  lovable,  calm,  easy  going—  everything 
nice  and  charming.  She's  a  tiny  little  piece  but  right 
there  with  the  heart— it's  big  and  kind  and  generous. 
Very  slow  and  deliberate  she  is— nothing  causes  her  to 
have  emotional  upheavals  or  tantrums  or  anything 
violent.  You  can't  rub  her  the  wrong  way— she  simply 
won't  rub.  Just  the  kind  of  tolerant,  winning  person  to 
be  with  and  manage  incorrigible  infants— which  she 
does  very  well,  we  hear.  Ruth  makes  frequent  shop- 
ping trips  to  Coles'  Pharmacy.  Postum,  "There's  a 
Reason." 


MARYON  FARRER  Mansfield,  Pa. 

The  embryo  Marion  Harland!  Right  cheerfully, 
right  conscientiously  and  right  efficeintly  does  she  work 
and  accomplish.  Very  jolly  she  is  with  a  dry  irresistible 
humor  peculiarly  her  own.  She  returned  unto  us  after 
having  graduated  with  honors  in  the  regular  Normal 
Course  last  year.  This  year  she  is  a  "Dom  Sciencer" 
with  the  reputation  for  being  the  most  inimitable  of 
salad  makers.  She  is  ambitious  to  a  degree  not  only 
utilizing  all  her  spare  moments  during  the  winter  but 
during  the  lazy  Summer  months  also  by  taking  courses 
at  State  College  and  such  like.  An  "all  around"  girl  is 
Maryon  with  sense,  brains  and  character.

MARGARET  FINN  Parsons,  Pa. 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

Chic,  svelte — why  is  it  that  French  words  insist  on 
being  used  to  describe  this  daughter  of  old  Erin  ? 
Margaiet  possesses  in  full  measure  that  indefinable 
something  called  "style".  Good-looking  enough  to  ar- 
range her  blonde  hair  most  simply  and  "get  away  with 
it."  A  successful,  though  not  particularly  zealous,  stu- 
dent. Whimsical  enough  to  undertake  floor-scrubbing 
and  house-cleaning  in  the  still  (  ?)  watches  of  the  night. 
A  little  aloof,  yet  popular;  diplomatic;  dangerously 
quiet  in  voice  and  smile. 

"You  could  not  blame  the  lads  forbye, — 

Because  of  the  'Come  hither — come  hither'  in  her  eye." 


HARRY  FISH 


Arnot,  Pa. 


"Fish,"  "Shark" 

Emersonian  Society. 

Here  we  have  the  one  and  only  living  shark  of  our 
class.  A  quiet  fellow,  studious  and  highly  appreciative 
of  social  pleasures.  You'll  always  find  his  name  near 
the  head  of  the  movie  party  lists.  During  his  junior 
year  he  was  deeply  interested  in  Roses  but  this  year 
has  other  Joy(ces)s.  Keep  swimming,  Fish!  You  have 
our  best  wishes  and  keenest  interest  with  you. 


NORMA  FRISBIE  Elkland,  Pa. 

"Friz" 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

"Friz"  is  a  live  wire  and  no  mistake.  She  is  distin- 
guishable in  any  crowd  by  her  extremely  unusual  and 
contagious  giggle.  It  just  bubbles  up  and  runs  over 
in  a  spontaneous  and  astonishing  fashion.  Friz  is  one 
of  M.  S.  N.  S.  best  students.  Standing  high  in  her 
classes  and  that  without  any  very  apparent  effort.  She 
dotes  on  good  times  and  on  giving  them  to  her  friends. 
The  latter  she  easily  accomplishes  by  means  of  her 
clever  readings  2nd  impersonations.  Everybody  enjoys 
Norma's  acting,  so  natural  and  so  full  of  her  sparkling 
personality.     Here's  to  you  Friz!

MARY  GAVIN  Olyphant,  Pa. 

"Gabbie" 

Gabbie  is  a  veritable  bunch  of  sweetness  and  good 
humor  with  an  Irish  wit  that  can  dispel  the  darkest, 
blackest  clouds  of  gloom.  Fifth  Floor  Mother,  we  like 
to  call  her,  for  she  it  is  who  ministers  to  our  needs  and 
is  a  sympathetic  listener  to  our  tales  of  woe.  On  the 
workings  of  the  human  heart  and  the  complications 
attendant  she  is  well  informed,  too.  Much  common 
sense  she  has,  just  enough,  you  know,  to  give  her  that 
unique  sense  of  the  fittingness  of  things.  Wisdom 
flows  from  her  lips  ai.d  sympathy  from  her  heart.  We 
love  vou,  Gabbie. 


BEATRICE  GIBSON  Wellsboro,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society;  Literary  Editor  of  Carontawan. 

So  this,  then,  is  Beatrice  Gibson, — Beatrice  who  loves 
and  hates,  believes  and  disbelieves,  with  charming,  if 
bewildering,  abandon.  Her  sensibilities  respond  to  the 
truly  relevant,  aesthetic,  or  humorous — whatever  aspect 
life  displays.  Difficult  it  is  to  label  Beatrice  because 
of  her  versatility, — versatility  in  mood,  thought,  and 
attainment;  perhaps  to  say  that  she  is  a  thinker,  best 
describes  this  delightfully  interesting  person.  She  is 
one  of  the  rarely-gifted  few  at  whose  caress  the  piano 
wakes  to  its  sublime  power.  May  the  gods  grant  you, 
ce,  all  which  you  deem  worthy  of  your  effort. 


MARGUERITE  GILLETTE  Ulster,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

A  tall  and  serious-looking  girl,  with  tortoise-rimmed 
glasses,  is  Marguerite.  The  glasses  and  the  serious 
mien  are  doubtless  the  result  of  her  former  pedagogical 
pursuits;  but  be  not  dismayed,  Oh  embryo  teachers,  for 
beneath  the  surface,  the  dominion  of  this  seriousness  is 
by  no  means  absolute;  and  we  all  know  glasses  do  not 
signify!  Her  neighbors  in  North  Hall  will  gladly 
testify  that  her  elocutionary  delivery  is  both  powerful 
and  penetrating.  Marguerite's  mind  sometimes  wan- 
ders, and  as  she  is  about  to  follow  it  into  the  future  we 
shall  say  "Au  revoir.  Fail'  Marguerite."

BERNICE  GRIFFIS  Sayre,  Pa. 

Emei'sonian  Society. 

Bernice  doesn't  like  to  climb  stairs  so  she  lives  on 
Third.  She  is  not  flighty  in  the  least,  in  other  words. 
Would  that  every  one  were  as  quiet  and  unobtrusive  in 
the  halls  as  is  Bernice.  She  has  not  adopted  the  popular 
method  of  lung  development  in  the  corridors.  Her  in- 
terests and  pursuits  are  many.  Besides  her  regular 
Normal  Work  she  is  graduating  in  Elocution  and  taking 
Pipe  Organ.  Confidentially  we  believe  "there's  a 
reason"  for  her  newly  awakened  interest  in  Pipe  Organ. 
What's  this  about  Mr.  Shaffer  being  a  minister? 


GEORGE  GRIMES  Ge.iesee,  Pa. 

"Spike" 

Emersonian  Society. 

"Spike"  ambles  through  life  with  a  cheerful  expres- 
sion and  an  innocent  look  which  wins  the  heart  of  the 
most  experienced  instructor.  Luckily!  He  is  an  ardent 
admirer  of  the  fair  sex  and  has  a  real  knack  for  danc- 
ing. A  thoroughly  good  fellow — slow  and  easy  going 
but  always  on  the  go.  Irresistibly  likable  as  is  evidenced 
by  his  universal  popularity.    Here's  to  you,  Spike. 


RUTH  HART  Morris  Run,  Pa. 

"Skesiks" 

Emersonian  Society. 

Don't  you  miss  Ruth's  usual  sunny  smile?   'Tis  broad 
and  good  natured.    We  like  to  see  it  and  are  sorry  that 
having  ones  picture  taken  seems  like  such  a  serious  un- 
dertaking to  her. 
Bright  and  happy  all  the  day, 
Likes  to  work  but  loves  to  play, 
Hates  to  get  up,  hates  to  behave, 
Loves  to  dance  and  write  to  Dave. 
— And  can  go  under  the  bed  like  the  Erie!

BEULAH   HARKNESS  Wellsboro,   Pa. 

"Boots" 

This  fair  and  happy  person  answers  to  the  name  of 
"Boots".  She  is  indeed  fair  of  face,  of  disposition  and 
of  mind.  With  the  charm  of  her  song,  she  soothes  the 
savageness  out  of  us.  She  is  one  of  those  favored  few 
whose  hearts  are  invariably  light.  Along  the  way  she 
goes  singing  and  dancing  and  no  obstacles  in  her  path 
retard  her  progress  or  lower  her  spirits.  Our  imagina- 
tions can't  picture  Beulah  being  sedate  and  school 
ma'mish  for  a  very  long  time.  We  associate  her  with 
lights  (foot  lights),  adventure,  and  thrills.  And  we'll 
wager  that  she  gets  them.  Good  wishes  and  iove  to 
you,  "Boots." 


MARJORIE  HATHERILL  Wellsboro,  Pa 

"Marj" 

Athenaean  Society. 

The  girl  with  the  irresistible  grin.  Sensible  Marj  is 
and  droll.  Eventually  she  can  see  a  joke  and  her 
hearty,  contagious  laugh  trails  along  caboose  fashion 
as  the  echoes  of  the  rest  die  away.  "Just  got  the  joke, 
I'm  English,"  she  apologizes.  Nothing  worries  or  hur- 
ries Marj.  Delibeiation  is  her  middle  name  but  she  is 
as  sure  as  she  is  slow.  A  big  heart  is  hers  and  a  head 
full  of  unique  ideas.  Marj's  hair  is,  well,  it  just  barely 
escapes  being  red.  Don't  mention  this  to  her.  She  is 
dangerous  when  aroused.  To  you,  Ma'j,  success  and 
happiness. 


HELEN  HILDEBRAND  Scianton,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

Here  is  Helen!  Verily  she  is  from  Scranton,  as  we 
painfully  recall,  for  aren't  we  reminded  of  it  every-time, 
any-one,  any-where,  mentions  any-thing  about  any- 
place? Helen's  spirits  are  irrepressible.  Do  you  hear 
someone  squealing  down  the  corridor?  It  is  she.  Do 
you  find  your  most  solemn  moments  of  meditation 
violently  interrupted  by  a  young  whirlwind?  It  is 
Helen  again.  She  has  a  remarkable  propensity  for 
bringing  upon  herself  all  the  blame  for  anything  un- 
pleasant which  occurs.  But  nothing  ever  troubles  her. 
A  disposition  bright  and  sunny,  quick  but  harmless 
flrshes  of  temper,  and  hosts  of  friends — all  these 
are  hers.

JESSIE  HILL  Waverly,  Pa. 

"Goose" 

Athenaean  Society. 

Jess  is  a  k^nd,  lovable,  cheery  person,  with  a  profound 
ambition  to  many  a  millionaire  and  purchase  the  Her- 
shey  Milk  Chocolate  Factory,  in  order  to  satisfy  her 
desires  for  Hershey  bars.  (We're  glad  they  are  Hershey 
bais.  Goose!)  Jessie  is  adventuresome.  She  has  been 
hesrd  to  remark  "There  is  one  thing  I  wish  to  try  be- 
fore I  shuffle  off  this  mortal  coil  and  that  is  Marriage!" 
— Now,  what  do  you  think  of  that!  The  fatal  plunge  so 
fraught  with  hazard!  Likewise  at  her  earliest  con- 
venience she  wishes  to  establish  a  barber  shop  for 
ladies. — Luck,  Goose!!

THOMAS  HISCOX 

"Scoop",  "Tom", 

Alta  Petens  Society;  1918  Cheer-Leader;  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
Cabinet. 

My  hair  is  red  also  my  looks, 

I  cannot  say  that  about  my  books. 

"Scoop"  is  one  of  the  leaders  of  the  school.  He  has 
many  admirers  and  is  always  a  social  lion  at  any  ac- 
tivity. He  is  medium  in  height  and  according  to  his  ap- 
proved style  with  a  clean  cut  polish  that  is  distinctive. 
From  early  morn  till  late  at  night  Scoop's  melodious 
voice  rings  through  Old  South  Hall  to  all's  delight. 
Upon  his  arrival  from  Camp,  Scoop  was  at  sea  among 
the  ladies  till  one  night  "all  of  a  sudden"  along  came 
"Peggy." 


DOROTHY  HOARD  Mansfield,  Pa. 

"Dot" 

Alta  Petens  Society;  Carontawan  Board. 

Interested  and  interesting  Dorothy!  With  her  long, 
slender,  gifted  fingers  she  designs  and  paints  excru- 
ciatingly lovely  things;  and  with  these  same  fingers 
she  makes  sweet  music  with  the  enamelled  keys.  Dot 
has  graduated  (with  honors  it  may  be  added)  from 
about  every  department  the  school  affords  from  which 
you  may  correctly  conclude  that  she  is  exceedingly  ver- 
satile. She  is  very  popular  because  of  her  cleverness, 
her  efficiency  and  her  unvarying  good  nature.  Sweet, 
strong,  talented,  dainty,  an  "all  around"  type  of  gild 
who  can  adapt  herself  with  ease  and  grace.  We  love  her.

RAYMOND  HORAN  Wiikes-Barre,  Pa.' 

"Just  Ray" 

Emersonian  Society;  Oivhestia. 
"Can  one  deserve  too  much  of  a  good  thing." 
Here  we  have  the  musical  genius  of  the  school,  whose 
playing  of  the  violin  these  last  two  years  has  de- 
lighted us.  He's  not  like  the  ether  fellows.  Se.ious  he 
may  be  and  silent  but  when  a  certain  fair  la;s  from 
New  Hampshire  got  "Horan's  eyes"  he  went  home  and 
got  glasses  and  then  he  could  se(iez)e  her.  But  all's 
well(s)  that  ends  well.  His  father  probably  "judges" 
that  he  is  doing  well  enough,  so  keep  at  it,  Ray.  You 
sure  have  our  best  wishes. 


HELEN  HOWE  Herrick  Center,  Pa. 

Big  brown  eyes  and  a  face  that  is  sweet  and  strong. 
A  disposition  amiable,  cheerful,  easy-going  and  pleas- 
ure loving — that's  Helen.  She  is  bubbling  over  with  life, 
mischief  and  good  will.  You  like  to  be  with  her.  She 
brightens  the  way  with  her  fun  and  her  laughter.  A 
dependable  sort  of  person  is  Helen  with  poise  and  the 
capacity  for  carrying  much  responsibility.  A  well 
known  weakness  for  dashing  young  men  possesses 
Helen  particularly  handsome,  stalwart  blonds  who  look 
precisely  as  if  they  had  just  stepped  out  from  between 
the  covers  of  some  excruciatingly  exciting  novel.  Helen 
you  aie  all  right.

Characteristics — Playing  a  virile   game   of  basket  ball 

in  her  sleep.     If  you  have  never  seen  her  play  yo3 

cannot  appreciate  this  knowledge. 
Aim  in  life — To  outdo  Edison. 
Favorite  Pastime — Throwing  clothes-pins  against  v/'m-

RUBY  HUGHES  Tioga,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society;  Student  Council. 

Behold  Ruby — Ruby  of  the  soft,  wavy,  chestnut  tres- 
ses and  lips  which  fulfill  the  prophecy  of  her  name. 
A  sweet  gentleness  of  manner  has  Ruby.  Her  worth  is 
recognized  by  her  schoolmates  who  elected  her  one  of 
the  first  proctors  of  Student  Government.  Ruby  is 
quiet  and  studious  and  dutiful  but  nevertheless  pos- 
sessed of  a  keen  capacity  for  fun,  she  likes  to  sing  and 
dance  and  talk — to  boys  as  well  as  to  girls.  We  are 
forced  to  admit  that  Ruby  is  quite  a  man-killer  and  who 
would  blame  the  men. 


GENEVIEVE  HUSTED 


Mansfield,  Pa. 


If  you  should  some  day  see,  tripping  down  some 
Mansfield  boulevard,  a  person  whom  you  at  once  think 
you  recognize  as  Dame  Fashion  of  Paris,  look  again 
and  carefully — there,  now,  I  told  you  so! — it's  'Gene 
Husted!  Or  you  might  mistake  her  for  a  fairy,  she  is  so 
slim  and  slight.  However,  she  really  is  a  "regular  girl", 
very  fond  of  good  times.  But  don't  imagine  she  merely 
toys  with  life,  for  at  present  she  is  being  initiated  into 
the  deep  and  deadly  mysteries  of  shorthand. 


HELEN  HUSTED  Painted  Post,  N.  Y. 

Were  we  all  as  industrious  as  Helen,  this  old  world 
would  fairly  hum;  but,  oh,  we  aren't  and  we  fall  sadly 
short  of  the  amount  Helen  accomplishes.  And,  reader, 
did  you  ever  hear  her  laugh?  Tis  contagiously  merry, 
and  so  spontaneous  and  hearty  that  it  awakens  imme- 
diate response.  Helen's  heartstrings  are  elusive,  but 
we  hear  that  some  bonnie  lad  has  captured  one  and  is 
still  in  pursuit.  Damsel,  we  hand  it  to  thee  for  getting 
the  wcrk  done,  and  do  hereby  dub  thee  "Helen  Husted, 
the  Hustler."

JOYCE  INGERICK  Antrim,  Pa. 

"Bug- 
Emersonian  Society. 

Impulsive,  fly-away,  caiefree  Joyce.  Did  you  ever 
hear  her  talk?  Her  tongue  wags  fast  and  excitedly 
from  morn  till  night.  But  unless  you  are  an  adept  at 
lip  reading  or  have  become  accustomed  to  her  speed 
you'll  never  be  able  to  get  the  drift  of  her  conversation. 
No  one  ever  talked  so  fast  or  with  such  relish.  Friday 
and  Sunday  are  delightful  days  for  Joyce.  She  anti- 
cipates them  joyfully.  And  why  shouldn't  she?  Isn't 
she  served  "fish?"  Happy-go-lucky  is  Bug,  eager  to 
see  the  bright  side  of  things  and  glad  to  be  alive. 


JOSEPHINE  JAQUISH 


Mansfield,  Pa. 


"Joe" 


"Joe"  is  a  lively  lass  who  lives  way  up  the  pavement 
of  our  own  little  town  and,  judging  from  her  blooming 
cheeks  and  bright  eyes,  the  walk  in  each  morning  does 
by  no  means  hurt  her.  We  girls  in  the  building  who  And 
ourselves  still  blinking  in  the  eight  o'clock  class  envy 
her  this  exhilarating  walk.  Always  so  neatly  and 
prettily  dressed;  always  so  witty  and  cheerful— is  it 
any  wonder  that  one  and  all  fall  prey  to  her  charms? 
How  she  loves  to  dance—and  to  study  (  ? )  Yes,  Joe  is 
anything  but  a  "grind."  May  she  always  be  as  happy 
and  carefree. 


MORGAN  JAMES  Mansfield,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Here's  a  cheerful  "all  round"  fellow  for  you.  He's 
not  been  with  us  long  but  already  do  we  appreciate  and 
like  him.  Wholesomely  generous  is  Morgan.  Give 
you  his  last  cent,  his  last  anything  except  his  last  girl 
who  happens  to  be  at  present  an  engaging  French 
maiden  by  the  name  of  McAndrew.  Morgan  goes  about 
blithely  chanting  "Alice,  where  art  thou?"  Here's  to 
you,  James!

ELIZABETH  JANICELLI  Forest  City,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

"Liz"  is  small,  but  oh  my! — the  store  of  knowledge 
in  that  diminutive  head  of  hers  is  astonishingly  great 
Nothing  pleases  her  studious  mind  quite  so  much  as  a 
perfect  recitation.  If  you  want  a  breath  of  Old  Italy 
accost  this  little  maiden,  and  command  her  to  sing  one 
cf  her  Italian  Songs.  She  will  sing  it  with  an  ardor 
and  piqancy  quite  engaging.  Generous,  kind-hearted, 
conscientious,  lovable — she  just  trips  her  way  into  your 
heart  to  stay. 


RUTH  JENNINGS  Scranton,  Pa. 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

Ruth  of  the  gentle,  unstudied  artless  grace  and  the 
sweet  and  even  disposition.  A  bit  aloof  until  she  has 
sciutinized  you  up  and  down  and  through  and  through 
to  ascertain  whether  you  are  worthy  of  her  fine  and 
loyal  friendship.  A  practical  idealist  she  is.  The  lovely 
ideas  she  has  will  some  day  take  form  for  back  of  them 
there  is  perseverance  and  initiation.  One  of  the  favored 
few  who  are  not  dependent  upon  the  world  without  for 
pleasure  and  enjoyment.  It  comes  from  within  herself. 
Athletic,  scholarly  and  interesting.  May  she  realize  all 
her  ambitions. 


SAMUEL  JOHNS 


Parsons,  Pa. 


'Sam" 


Emersonian  Society;  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Cabinet;  Quarter- 
master S.  A.  T.  C;  College  Prep  Course. 

Sam  has  a  girl  in  every  suburban  town  but  prefers 
dentist's  daughteis  with  much  beauty  and  musical 
talents.  He  is  popular  with  all  who  have  some  work  to 
do  because  he  is  always  ready  and  willing  to  help.  A 
good  man  in  literary  work,  too.  With  his  "all  for  the 
good  of  the  family"  he  proved  to  us  that  his  greatest 
and  most  enviable  talent  was  his  ability  to  act.  He  can 
interpret  any  role  from  the  dashing  susceptible  young 
hero  to  the  doddering  old  fossil  tottering  about  on  his 
last  legs.    Luck!

HELEN  KEATING  Wi'kes-Barre,  Pa. 

"Crumb",    "Kitten" 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

This    Wilkes-Barre    girl's    unchangeable    nonrusticity 
is  always  being  revealed  in  such  remarks  as  "Do  you 
have  to  eat  the  honey  in  the  shell?"  Helen's  favorite 
expression   is   "You   ought  to  see  the   one  we  have  at 
heme!"  But  let  us  confide  this  to  you:  you  ought  to  see 
the  one  she  has  a,t  Wellsboio!  We  who  best  understand 
her  caprices,  see  her  reflected  in  this  stanza: 
"She's  a  girl  that's  always  in  it; 
Doesn't  lose  her  head  a  minute; 
Plays  the  g-ame  and  knows  the  limit; 
Yet  gets  all  the  fun  that's  in  it." 


MARGARET  KEEFE  Arnot,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Those  who  know  her  as  Margaret,  may  consider  her 
quiet,  but  anyone  who  calls  her  Mag  would  vouch  that 
hers  is  silence  from  choice,  not  necessity;  for  we  assure 
you  she  can  talk  till  breath — or  audience — fails  her.  If 
rumor  is  true,  Margaret  is  not  indifferent  to  our  friends 
in  the  dormitory  south  of  us,  but  this  fact  seems  not  to 
interfe-e  with  her  scholastic  pursuits,  for  she  is  a  good 
student.  She  is  ever  ready  to  lend  a  helping  hand,  and 
will  be  remembered  as  a  loyal  friend  and  a  diverting 
companion. 


ROSEMARY  KELLEY  Pittston,  Pa. 

Behold  a  girl  who  is  so  tactful  that  what  would  be 
considered  a  "squelch"  from  others  is  from  Rose  an 
almost  pleasurable  reminder  and  leaves  gratitude,  not 
rankling,  in  the  bosom  of  its  recipient.  Rose  is  an  ad- 
mirable young  woman  supplied  with  that  requisite  of 
power  and  attainment,  a  sense  of  responsibility.  How- 
ever, she  is  by  no  means  oppressed  by  life  and  its  duties, 
but  a  hardy  Rose,  thrives  in  a  happy  adaptation  to  con- 
ditions. She  gives  the  gay  little  songs  she  sings  just 
the  right  flavor.  We  wonder  if  she  could  be  as  sweet 
by  any  other  name?

KATHLEEN  KEOUGH  Arnot,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

This  is  Kathleen — demure,  inscrutable  Kathleen.     To 
be  understood  and  appreciated  she  must  be  known  and 
it  is  not  so  easy  to  know  her.     Kind  and  genial  is  she 
but  very  reserved.  Not  many  axe  favored  with  a  revela- 
tion of  this  mavouineen's  real  self.     We  have  a  rumor 
to  the  effect  that  away  from  the  restraining  influence 
of  the  Normal  life  "Katy"  casts  aside  her  cloak  of  shy- 
ness and  reserve — but  that  is  telling  tales — 
Tall  and  slender,  very  fair; 
Light  blue  eyes  and  blondish  hair, 
Bright  pink  cheeks — a  blase  air! 


MURIEL  KERSCHNER  Larksville,  Pa. 

"Kerkie" 

Athenaean  Society. 

The  fourth  floor  contingent  of  M.  S.  N.  S.  must  reeds 
live  very  quietly  or  a  pair  of  mischievous  brown  eyes 
will  begin  peering  about  and  a  presumably  "pedago- 
guish"  voice  sing  out  "Taisez-vous,  s'il  vous  plait."  This 
is  "Kerkie's"  pet  phrase  as  many  of  us  know.  She  loves 
to  use  it  and  often  has  occasion  to  do  so.  Kirk's  hair 
is  dark  and  abundant;  her  eyes  big  and  expressive. 
Fond  of  dancing  and  music  is  she.  No  musical  selection 
however,  pleases  her  quite  so  much  as  "Babes  in  Toy- 

:  -i  "  Don't  know  exact  location  of  Toyland.  No  doubt 
a  suburb  of  Elmira. 


RUTH  KNELL  Westfield,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Little  Ruth  with  the  dimple  in  her  cheek,  the  smile  on 
her  lips,  and  the  "bob"  on  her  hair,  lives  on  5th.  But 
she  doesn't  mind  for  she  is  light  and  airy  and  takes  the 
steps  three  at  a  time.  Ruth  appears  when  you  least 
expect  her.  Her  head  pops  in  the  door  most  any  time 
of  day.  No  one  really  seems  to  know  why  Ruth  is  al- 
ways so  quiet  and  we  will  not  shatter  her  day  dreams 
by  trying  to  find  out.  Ruth  has  no  enemies  and  is 
"chief  giggler"  in  the  class.  We  will  leave  the  rest  to 
you. 


51 


HARRY  KROTZER  Throop,  Pa. 

"Krotzy,"  "Congo" 

Varsity  football. 

A  steady  man  on  the  football  field  and  just  as  steady 
in  anything  he  does.  "Silence  is  golden",  Harry  thinks 
but  we  would  be  exceedingly  pleased  as  well  as  sur- 
prised beyond  all  expression  if  he  would  only  break 
silence  oftener  and  let  us  share  some  of  his  leally  ex- 
tensive learning  and  good  ideas.  Have  you  noticed  the 
dreamy,  languishing,  far  away  look  in  Harry's  eyes  of 
late?  Confidentially  we  think  Irm  to  be  deeply  in- 
volved in  some  heart  affair. 


HAZEL  KUNZMAN  Towanda,  Pa. 

Here  is  a  girl  whose  teaching  experience  counts;  for 
hers  is  a  receptive  mind  in  which  experience  bears  the 
fruit  of  skill.  Hence,  when  the  rest  of  the  Methods 
class  are  hurling  ingenious,  but  ingenuous,  guesses  at 
the  answer  to  some  question,  Hazel  settles  the  problem 
with  a  word.  Hazel  knows  how  to  work,  which  is 
generally  half  the  battle;  but  in  the  case  of  Virgil  'tis 
only  the  beginning  of  the  fray,  Hazel  states;  and  'tis 
well  for  Virgil's  complacency  that  he  never  knew 
Hazel's  opinion  of  his  masterpiece.  But  to  all  except 
Virgil,  she's  a  true-blue  friend. 


HILDA  LEBER  Scranton,  Pa. 

Alta  Petens  Society;  Student  Council. 
Whichever  way  the  wind  doth  blow. 
Some  heart  is  glad  to  have  it  so, 
Then  blow  it  East  or  blow  it  West 
The  wind  that  blows — that  wind  is  best. 

So  saith  Hilda!  No  trick  of  fate,  no  freak  of  circum- 
stance can  dampen  or  lower  Hilda's  blithe  spirits. 
Happy-go-lucky  but  not  irresponsible.  She  can  be  de- 
pended upon  any  time  to  play  her  part  and  play  it  well. 
Mathematics  are  the  bane  of  Hilda's  existence.  But 
just  put  a  pencil  in  her  hand  and  bid  her  diaw  and  she 
will  be  delighted — so  will  you.

BEATRICE  LINDSLEY 


Binghamton,  N.  Y. 


"Bea." 


At  Beatrice  you  may  look  closely  without  receiving 
the  unpleasant  shock  which  often  accompanies  the 
second  glance  at  an  attractive  face;  for  "Bea's" 
features  will  bear  analysis.  Her  hair  is  brown  and 
wavy,  her  cheeks  are  just  pink  enough — but  we  must 
let  you  finish  the  picture,  while  we  tell  you  what  "Bea" 
is.  She  is  quiet  but  by  no  means  lacking  in  ideas.  Very 
industrious  are  her  fingers  as  well  as  her  brains.  Do 
not  these  qualifications  predict  a  useful  and  happy  life? 
We  think  so. 


FLORENCE  LOLLER 

Another  of  our  fledgeling  stenographers.  Between 
Florence  and  the  youth  of  the  man-creature  there  seems 
to  exist  an  enjoyable  mutual  admiration.  In  fact  we 
should  not  be  surprised  to  hear  that  it  is  she  who  has 
allured  certain  young  men  into  the  commercial  course; 
or  at  least  influenced  their  determination  to  remain. 
Florence  has  been  with  us  less  than  a  year,  so  many  of 
us  are  not  well  acquainted  with  her.  But  this  much  we 
know:  that,  despite  an  occasional  caustic  turn  of  speech, 
she  is  a  generous  and  fun-loving  girl. 


LUELLA  LORD  Waverly,  N.  Y. 

Art  Editor  of  Caiontawan;  Athenaean  Society. 

If  you  can  just  manage  to  break  through  "Lordy's" 
(she  hates  th^s  undignified  appellation)  heavy  coating 
of  reserve  you  are  favored  with  a  glimpse  of  a  mind 
nicely  balanced  and  a  soul  awake  to  the  beauties  of  the 
world  about  it.  With  her  brushes,  her  nature  study,  her 
music,  she  inhabits  a  dream  world  of  her  own  which  we 
fain  would  invade,  did  we  not  fear  her  displeasure.  As 
Art  Editor  of  the  Carontawan  she  has  exceeded  our  ex- 
pectations— and  they  were  very  high,  too.  We  shall 
hear  of  Luella  and  the  work  she  is  doing  some  day. 
"Lordy,"  yes. 


53 


FORD  McHALE  Olyphant,  Pa. 

"Mac" 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

Ford  tries  to  hoodwink  us  into  believing  that  Oly- 
phant is  all  he  claims  for  it,  but  we  are  wise.  We  are 
not  taken  in,  though  he  conies  very  near  being  irresist- 
ibly convincing.  He  is  far  too  innocent  on  the  girl 
question.  We  suspect  that  he  knows  more  about  it  than 
he  would  have  us  know.  Good-natured,  jolly  well  known 
and  thoroughly  liked  by  all.  How  could  a  Ford  be 
anything  else  ? 


BESSIE  McDERMOTT  Jessup,  Pa. 

"Bess",  "Betty",  "Lib" 

A  dark-eyed,  dark-haired  person  with  a  merry  smile 
in  her  eyes  and  in  her  heart.  She's  straight  as  a  stick, 
nevertheless  she  has  wound  round  many  a  heart.  Ex- 
ceedingly pleasure  loving  is  Betty.  Her  sincerest  wish 
is  to  spend  the  remainder  of  her  gay  young  life  at  a 
certain  cottage  on  one  Pine  Creek.  Bess  indulges  in 
frequent  trips  to  Blossburg,  and  Charlie  seems  to  dis- 
appear about  these  times  also.  Strange!  What  is  that 
commotion  down  the  hall?  'Tis  Bess  giving  a  breathless, 
vivid  description  of  her  latest  escapade  and  the  noisy 
appreciation  of  her  friends.     Watch  your  step,  Bess! 


ALICE  McANDREW  Jessup,  Pa. 

"Kid,"  "Big  Noise" 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

Here's  a  girl  with  as  much  pep  as  one  personality 
could  contain — and  with  no  desire  to  contain  it!  She  has 
a  remarkable  gift  of  gab;  and  what  our  Elocution 
teacher  called  "localisms"  in  Alice's  speech  constitute 
her  genuine  Irish  brogue.  Irish  are  her  wit,  good 
humor,  and  generosity  also.  "Can't  go  out  with  a  man 
unless  I  like  him,"  says  this  independent  Mavourneen. 
She  swears  by  Irving  Berlin,  and  the  production  which 
meets  with  her  greatest  approval  is,  "Oh,  How  I  Hate 
to  Get  up  in  the  Morning."  Here's  luck  to  you! 


54 


AUDREY  McKEEBY  Scranton,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Is  not  the  name  of  Audrey  fairly  aglow  with  the 
romance  of  those  fabulous  days  upon  which  poets  love 
to  dwell — and  in  which  we  fancy  we  would  have  loved 
to  dwell  ?  The  slender,  pink  and  white  lass  who  bears 
this  name  does  not  nullify  its  significance.  She  knows 
that  "arcade"  must  have  some  connection  with  "Arcadia," 
and  accordingly  sets  afoot  researches,  appparently 
most  successful,  for  that  connection.  Such  a  trifling 
affair  as  being  busy  doesn't  prevent  Audrey  from 
making  friends.  May  she  realize  all  the  wondrous 
dreams  that  cling  about  her  name  ? 


HELEN  MacMILLAN  Scranton,  Pa. 

"Micky" 

Athenaean    Society. 

Who  is  this  tall  and  striking  young  woman  taking 
her  deliberate  way  in  any  direction  her  various  duties 
call  her?  Why,  everyone  knows  that's  Helen.  Helen 
is  engaged  in  about  as  many  school  activities  as  are 
humanly  possible  to  one  girl.  Helen  likes  to  study,  to 
play  basket  ball,  and  to  "elocute."  Her  popularity 
equals  her  activity  and  doubtless  this  is  somewhat  due 
to  the  fact  that  she  is  never  too  tired  to  do  one  more 
thing  for  anyone  seeking  her  assistance.  At  present 
Helen's  modest  ambition  is  to  operate  a  money  mill. 


MARGARET  MARBLE  Wellsboro,  Pa. 

"Peggy" 

Athenaean   Society;   Carontawan   Board. 

Here  is  a  perfect  dynamo  of  energy  and  enthusiasm. 
When  anything  arises  whicji  demands  dauntless  perse- 
verance in  execution  in  we  rush  to  Peggy  and  she  never 
fails  to  help  us.  Methinks,  I  can  picture  this  lively 
person  proclaiming  loudly  and  fast  from  a  platform  to 
a  crowd  of  excited  followers,  "They  are  evolving  a  plan 
to  outwit  us.  If  they  succeed  they  carry  the  day.  Shall 
we  calmly  step  aside  and  allow  it  to  proceed.  No,  we 
must  work."  The  efficient  leader  of  some  political 
faction,  Socialist,  perhaps.  Hosts  of  friends  appreciate 
and  love  her. 


55 


MILDRED  MARVIN  Athens,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

"Oh,  girls,  wait  a  minute"  is  heard.  The  voice  is  that 
of  Mildred  Marvin,  who  although  she  is  always  a  bit 
tardy,  has  friends  ready  to  "wait  a  minute"  or  even 
longer,  for  such  an  excellent  companion.  There  is  a 
merry  twinkling  in  her  eyes  and  smile  which  helps  one 
to  believe  that  the  little  Miss  is  not  unacquainted  with 
the  direful  consequences  of  midnight  spreads.  Mildred 
is  agreeable  and  pleasant  and  friendly;  and  when  this 
can  be  said  of  a  person,  we  know  that  the  world  will 
be  in  some  measure  a  better  place  for  her  presence  in  it. 


MARGARET  MAUGHAN 


Pittston,  Pa. 


'Peg" 


"A  square  Peg  in  a  round  hole"  never  describes  this 
maid;  for,  while  strictly  "on  the  square,"  she  seems  so 
to  "belong"  that  we  suspect  she  makes  over  the  niche 
to  fit  herself.  She  is  sincere,  even  when  candor  is 
brutal,  and  quite  independent.  Her  temper  is  con- 
spicuous not  by  its  absence,  but  by  being  controlled. 
And  how  fastidiously  tidy  is  she!  Her  shoes  are  kept 
so  shiny  that  one  is  moved  to  ask  almost  daily,  "Has 
Peg  Maughan  another  new  pair  of  shoes?"  Her  smooth, 
dark  tresses  stay  where  they  belong — which  is  NOT  on 
her  dressing-table! 


GRACE  MEINE  Galeton,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society;  Member  of  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Cabinet. 

Fair  of  face,  friendly,  conscientious,  quiet  and  good, 
this  is  Grace.  Does  she  study?  Oh,  yes,  of  course; 
but  she  does  it  quietly  and  on  the  side  as  it  were.  True 
her  specialty  is  hard  to  name,  but  we  all  know  Grace 
delights  in  the  dance.  Among  her  friends  she  is  funny 
all  the  day.  Grace  lives  for  vacations  alone,  when, 
having  neatly  and  carefully  packed  her  bag — and  she  is 
the  quintessence  of  neatness  and  order — she  may  board 
the  reliable  Erie  and  puff  away  to  Galeton.  More  than 
a  happy  home  and  loving  family  attract  her  we  know.

WARREN  MILLER  Mansfield,  Pa. 

"Dusty"  "Skeet" 

Emersonian  Literary  Society;  President  of  Senior 
Class;  Vice  President  Y.  M.  C.  A.;  Business  Manager 
Carontawan;  Track  Team. 

Here's    "Dusty"    Miller    of    track    repute, 
Full  many  a  time  he's  scored. 
A  miserable  chap  to  hoard  up  love. 
But  rather  love  up  "Hoard." 
Here    is    our    class    president,    thoroughly    liked    by 
everyone     because    of    his    earnestness,     sincerity     and 
ability.     His  noble  bearing  and  oratorical  talent  make 
him,   we   believe,   the   most   capable   class   president   in 
years.     As  to  business  ability,  look  at  the  Carontawan. 
You  will  always  find  him  at  the  Gym  socials.    Here's  to 
you  "Dusty",  with  the  best  of  our  wishes  for  success. 


ALICE  MOLYNEAX  Forksville,  Pa. 

This  altogether  fitting  and  proper  young  woman  with 
the  French  name  and  tresses  which,  though  trying  to 
be  red,  compromise  at  a  very  attractive  golden  hue — 
this  girl  comes  from  Forksville.  Whether  this  place  is 
especially  noted  for  manipulation  of  the  knife,  fork  and 
spoon,  we  can  not  say;  but  Alice  appears  to  have  been 
nourished  even  as  you  and  I.  Though  rather  silent  as 
to  herself  and  other  subjects  of  inferior  importance — 
Alice  seems  to  win  staunch  friends.  Here  are  our  best 
wishes  for  you,  Alice. 


MARY  MORAHAN  Avoca,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

Our  Venus  de  Milo  has — consistently  enough — ideas 
decidedly  her  own,  one  of  which  is  that  Shakespeare's 
implication  was  all  wrong  when  he  said,  "What's  in  a 
name?"  for  Mary  proudly  traces  her  pedigree  back 
almost  to  the  Ark.  Until  the  arrival  of  the  Unit,  Mary 
was  not  numbered  among  the  frivolous  who  sit  forward 
on  the  edge  of  the  class-bench,  ever  and  anon  glancing 
eagerly  at  wrist  watches.  John  was  the  only  serious 
rival  ever  opposed  to  Mary's  studious  pursuits;  but 
her  preoccupation  hardly  gave  the  rest  of  the  class 
a  chance  to  catch  up  with  her.

THOMAS  D.  MORAN  Genesee,  Pa. 

"Tom" 

Emersonian  Literary  Society. 

"Tom"  completed  the  Freshman  year  at  St.  "Bone- 
adventure"  College  before  coming  here.  He  is  always 
ready  to  start  an  argument  which  may  last  anywhere 
from  fifteen  minutes  to  forty-four  hours,  and  in  this 
his  physiognomy  is  an  asset.  Tom  has  one  bad  habit: 
This  is  the  habit  of  studying;  but  where  he  acquired 
it  we  do  not  know.  Perhaps  he  was  born  with  this 
weakness.  Poor  Boy!  May  your  perserverance  and 
your  beaming  smile  pull  you  thru. 


FLORENCE  MORGAN  Scranton,  Pa. 

Y.  W.  C.  A.  President;  Alta  Petens  Society. 

Florence  of  the  sweet  and  even  temper,  the  pleasing- 
personality,  the  charming  courteousness  of  manner. 
One  of  those  blessed  persons  who  know  intuitively  how 
to  say  the  adroit  thing  at  the  right  moment  to  the  right 
person  to  obtain  the  desired  results.  Sedate,  dignified, 
well  poised,  not  for  flight  because  she  is  far  from 
flighty,  comely,  chic,  and  a  most  desirable  and  enter- 
taining companion.  Fond  of  sports,  of  hikes  and 
books,  not  necesssarily  text-books  though  she  is  a  very 
good  student.  As  president  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  organi- 
zation she  has  been  one  that  we  knew  she  could  and 
would   be,    efficient,   reliable,    zealous    and   helpful. 


HELEN  NORTON  New  Albany,  Pa 

"Snorton" 

Emersonian  Society. 

Here  is  a  jolly  good  classmate  who  knows  her  own 
mind  and  has  a  will. of  her  own.  Once  decided  upon  a 
course  she  is  obdurate.  There  is  no  use  trying  to  nurse 
melancholy  when  she  is  around.  She'll  scatter  the  blue 
devils  before  you  know  it.  She  is  so  sensible  and  so 
wise  that  many  of  her  friends  come  to  her  with  their 
troubles.  Did  you  say  brown  eyes?  Well,  Helen  has 
them  and  they  must  have  played  a  conspicuous  part  m 
her  thrilling  Romance,  about  which  we  hear  altogether 
too  vague  rumors.     We  like  her.

JAMES  NORTON  Carbondale,  Pa. 

"Jimmy" 

Alta  Petens;  S.  A.  T.  C. 

Here  we  have  in  all  his  glory  the  ladies'  man  of  the 
class.  The  fair  ones  follow  him  as  though  he  were  the 
Pied  Piper  of  Hamelin.  '"Tis  industry  that  supports 
us  all",  but  someone  will  have  to  support  "Jimmy". 
His  industry  so  far  as  we  could  see  during  his  stay 
with  us  is  a  minus  quantity.  Yet  strange  to  say,  such 
strides  did  he  make  in  his  scholastic  endeavors  that  he 
had  to  modestly  retire  for  a  term  to  let  the  rest  of  us 
catch  up.  Jimmy  is  well  liked  by  those  who  know  him 
best. 


ELLSWORTH  OBOURN  Mansfield,  Pa. 

"Bud"  "Buddy" 

Emersonian  Society. 

Here  we  have  the  one  and  only  family  man  of  the 
class  for  he  took  unto  himself  a  wife.  "Bud"  assures  us 
that  married  life  is  bliss.  Inasmuch  as  he  is  in  a  posi- 
tion to  know  we  accept  the  information  unquestion- 
ingly — not  that  we  are  skeptical  at  all,  of  course.  We 
wish  him  the  best  of  luck. 


EDNA  OLLENDIKE  Dickson  City,  Pa. 

"Eddie" 

Emersonian  Society. 

Edna  is  calmness  and  dignity  personified.  She  never 
says  a  grest  deal,  but  she  makes  up  for  it  in  thinking. 
She  accepts  things  as  they  are  and  makes  the  best  of 
them — which,  after  all,  is  a  mighty  good  thing  to  do. 
Eddie's  inclinations  are  domestic,  all  her  spare  moments 
are  spent  over  bits  of  fancy  work  or  the  inevitable 
knitting.  Kind  and  gentle,  capable  and  reliable.  "Very 
Good  Eddie"  we  like  to  call  her  and  can  best  imagine 
her  living  in  a  house  by  the  side  of  the  road  and  being 
a  friend  to  man.

TILLIE  PALMER  Franklinville,  Pa. 

"Til" 

Athenaean  Society. 

Tillie  has  been  faithful,  dauntless,  and  successful 
through  four  years  of  school  life.  She  is  the  same 
lovable,  generous,  considerate  damsel  always.  There's 
nary  an  ache  of  body  or  heart  that  she  cannot  minister 
to  and  soon  ease.  You  want  her  around.  She  is  good 
company  and  has  the  happy  faculty  of  fitting  into  your 
mood,  and  making  herself  agreeable  to  all. 
Tillie  of  the  kind,  kind  heart 

And  sweet  and  gentle  ways; 
We   love  you   and   admire  you, 
May  sunshine  flood  your  days. 


IRENE  PERRY  Lawrenceville,  Pa. 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

In  psychology  class — and  moreover,  outside  of  it — we 
have  learned  that  disposition  is  one  of  the  most  vital 
factors  in  human  life,  and  that  a  pleasant  disposition 
is  a  gift  of  high  value.  This  gift,  in  large  measure, 
does  Irene  Peiry  possess!  Those  who  are  with  her  most 
state  that  to  have  other  than  amicable  relations  with 
her  is  practically  impossible.  Irene  is  friendly,  agree- 
able, and  obliging.  Ire  e  piays  the  piano  well  and  is 
generous  in  using  her  scccmplishment  for  the  pleasure 
of  others.     We  sincerely  wish  for  her  happiness. 


GLADYS  PETTET  East  Port.  N.  Y. 

Emersonian  Society. 

A  member  of  the  notable  (or  is  it  notorious?) 
hospital  bunch  which  is  somewhat  of  an  introduction 
isn't  it?  Unapproachably  dignified  she  may  be'  at 
times  but  in  her  case  as  in  many  'tis  only  her  way.  In 
reality  she  is  delightfully  cordial,  funful  and  amusing. 
We  can  most  easily  visualize  her  presiding  over  quaint 
artistic  Road  Side  Tea  Room  or  Inn  whose  attractive- 
ness to  way-farers  would  be  irresistibly  alluring.  There 
would  be  the  duckiest  slender  handled  china  cups  (a  la 
Normal  Haviland),  delectable  wafers,  choice  teas  and 
that  subtle  fascinating  quality  "atmosphere."

LILLIAN  PHILLIPS  Towanda,  Pa. 

This  tall,  willowy  girl  with  her  slight  pallor  suggests 
to  the  imagination  the  suitability  of  the  nickname 
"Lily"  for  her.  There  is,  indeed,  about  her,  something 
— perhaps  the  dark  eyes  with  their  heavy  lashes — that 
suggests  the  droop  of  the  lily.  Her  face  gives  a  hint  of 
mystery,  and  she  is  reputed  to  have  some  understanding 
of  the  occult.  But  do  not  gather  from  the  above  that 
Lillian  moves  always  in  a  dream  world;  for  she  is  a 
true  and  generous  friend,  glad  to  be  of  assistance  to 
anyone.     Happy  days,  Lillian. 


MARJORIE  PRESTON  Canton,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society;  Carontawan  Board. 

This  dusky-haired  damsel  made  her  debut  at  M.  S. 
N.  S.  with  the  rest  of  us  and  has  played  her  part  well 
and  with  spirit.  "Marj."  has  broad  interests.  She  re- 
joices in  good  times,  shines  in  the  dance,  glories  in  all 
sports  and  stands  high  in  her  classes.  Responsible  and 
genial — a  bit  distant  and  cold  at  first  but  she  thaws. 
And  those  black  eyes  can  dance.  Excite  and  arouse  her 
and  you  will  see  them.  But  no,  that  is  unkind  advice, 
for  our  sweet  gentle  Marj.  can  be  quite  "peppery".  A 
toast  to  her!

"Danny  Dover" 

Alta  Petens  Society;  S.  A.  T.  C. 

"Strange  tho'ts  beget  strange  deeds." 

"Danny"  is  the  only  man  in  our  class  who  could  boil 
eggs  in  the  bath  tub,  fry  chicken  on  the  electric  flat- 
iron  and  make  cocoa  on  electric  curlers,  or  light  cig- 
arettes on  the  electric  light  bulbs.  (Not  that  he  ever 
did— with  bulbs  or  anything  else.  He  just  could.) 
"Danny"  had  a  private  signal  system  between  his  room 
and  a  certain  young  lady's  on  4th,  North  Hall.  Here's 
luck,  Old  Pal. 


MABYL  REIDY  Shkkshinny.  Pa. 

Alta  Petens  Society;  Carontawan  Board. 

The  Joan  D'Arc  of  third  floor!  Reidy  is  a  much- 
beloved  member  of  our  class-happy-go-lucky,  witty, 
menial  friendly.  She  deserves  a  medal  for  the  way  she 
can  coax  music  out  of  our  superannuated  relic  of  a  Gym 
piano.  Our  toes  tickle  and  jazz  till  we  can  t  stand  still. 
Reidy  is  the  very  staunchest  and  most  loyal  of  friends. 
Once  a  friend,  always  a  friend-with  her.  Generous  and 
big-hearted  is  Mabyl,  fond  of  a  good  time  and  generally 
managing  to  have  one  and  give  everybody  else  one. 
"Dere  Mabyl,  that's  you  all  over!" 


EDNA  REPPARD  Mansfield,  Pa. 

Mansfield  High  has  sent  us  many  fine  students.  Here 
is  one  A  girl  with  a  fine,  sunny  disposition  and  liking 
for  things  "literary."  There  are  rumors  of  county 
prizes  and  gold  medals  back  in  those  High  School  days. 
Jhow  ancient  it  makes  us  feel  to  be  already  referring 
vaguely  to  our  High  School  days  as  "back  .)  Edna 
is  quiet,  steady  and  earnest;  endeavor,  sincerity  and 
accomplishment  are  her  gods.  Edna,  you  have  the  stuff 
in  you  which  makes  for  success  and  one  and  all  join  in 
a  hearty  wish  that  you  may  find  it.

MARIAN  REYNOLDS  Moscow,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Marian,  of  the  kind  heart  and  quiet  ways,  is  loved  by 
all  who  know  her.  Capable  and  wise,  generous  and  will- 
ing. Also  she  is  faithful — to  her  friends  and  to  her 
studies.  Fond  of  a  good  time,  but  never  letting  things 
of  a  frivolous  nature  interfere  with  her  work.  Evi- 
dently she  does  not  sanction  the  reckless  advice,  "When 
joy  and  duty  clash,  let  duty  go  to  smash."  Marian 
loves  a  good  laugh, — laugh  and  grow  fat,  eh,  Marian  ? 
and  those  living  near  her  may  often  hear  it  echoing  on 
the  breezes  at  almost  any  time  of  day  or  night. 


FORREST  RICHARDS  Canoe  Camp,  Pa. 

Forrest  is  a  very  desirable  young  man  from  the 
wooded  country-side  of  Tioga  county — but  don't  assume 
from  this  that  he  savors  of  the  backwoods,  that  his 
mentality  is  of  the  wooden  variety,  or  that  he  lumbers 
along  through  life.  He  is  gifted  with  the  ability  to 
write  well,  and  to  him  we  owe  many  thanks  for  his 
?ss:stance  to  the  Carontawan  Board.  Reserved,  un- 
assuming, and  very  likeable  is  Forrest.  Though  not  un- 
versed in  Scripture,  Forrest  believes  that,  while  Marys 
are  all  right  in  their  place,  Martha's  place  is  of  more 
interest  to  him. 


ALMA  RICHARDSON  Dickson  City,  Pa. 

"Midge" 

Emersonian  Society. 

Who  is  this  tiny,  dusky  lass  we  see  darting  into 
clothes  presses  on  Fifth  Floor?  Why,  its  "Midge,"  of 
course.  We  often  wonder  why  she  does  not  hop  in  the 
waste  paper  basket,  duck  her  head  and  curl  up  till  the 
danger  is  past.  A  good  all-round  sport  is  Midge,  fond 
of  and  taking  an  extra  part  in  tennis,  basketball,  hik- 
ing trips,  and  picnics.  A  little  reckless  we  find  her  to 
be  and  hear  vague  rumors  of  midnight  revels  continuing 
till  the  break  of  day  or  until  they  are  rudely  inter- 
rupted.

HELEN  RUNDELL  Canton,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society;  Y.  W.  C.  A.;  Carontawan  Board. 

Spritely,  conscientious,  kind,  unaffected,  sweet — 
these  and  countless  other  adjectives  might  apply  to  her. 
Soft  brown  eyes,  a  pert  little  nose,  and  a  small  expres- 
sive mouth,  and  film  unyielding  chin  combine  to  make 
a  face  attractive  and  piquant.  And  what  a  store  of 
good  sense  and  originality  are  hers!  Helen  is  fond  of 
sports — -tennis,  basket-ball,  etc.,  that  kind  you  know — 
fond  of  books  and  all  kinds  of  jolly  times.  Our  love  and 
good  wishes,  Helen. 


EMELIE  SCHMIDT  Scranton,  Pa. 

"Mel" 
Emersonian  Society;  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Cabinet. 
Don't  let  this  maid  fool  you.  Her  eyes  are  blue,  in- 
nocent and  as  guileless  as  any  Puritan's  but  behind 
them  lurks  abounding  mischief  and  fun.  Emelie  is 
sorely  afflicted  with  a  conscience,  keen  and  trouble- 
some, and  a  heart  super-tender.  "Assuredly,  I  was  born 
under  an  unlucky  constellation",  she  is  often  heard  sad- 
ly saying.  Poor  Mel  is  always  caught.  Inoffensive, 
kind,  helpful,  fun-loving,  deft  with  her  fingers  and 
quick-witted  is  this  "Lass  from  Scranton  Town." 


MARGUERITE  SCHMIDT  Dickson  City,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Here  we  have  Marguerite;  she  needs  no  introduction 
for  she  is  as  bright  and  cheery  as  Spring  itself.  We 
think  perhaps  this  has  something  to  do  with  her  marked 
fondness  for  you.  Marg.  is  conscientious  and  delights 
in  keeping  up  her  work.  Heavens,  girls!  What  would 
we  ever  do  if  Marguerite  didn't  have  her  notes  copied. 
We  find  her  interested  and  active  in  many  things  be- 
sides studies — good  times,  spreads,  picnics,  and  tennis 
with  a  marked  fondness  for  bench  tennis  and  "love 
sets".    All  the  good  luck  in  the  world!

LYDIA  SCHWENK  Scranton,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society;  Student  Council. 

Conscientious  and  persevering  as  the  clay  is  long. 
"First  Business  then  Pleasure"  is  Lydia's  motto.  And 
how  she  does  practice  it!  "O,  jimsey,  I  must  work,"  she 
says  when  by  gentle  persuasion  we  attempt  to  lure  her 
away  from  her  books.  But  a  deaf  ear  and  a  cold 
shoulder  she  turns  to  our  temptmgs  and  trots  dutifully 
back  to  labor.  She  is  such  a  jolly,  lovely  companion 
that  we  want  her  with  us.  Reserved  is  Lydia  with  a 
certain  quiet  dignity  which  was  the  one  and  only  thing 
capable  of  subduing  Fifth  Floor  youthful  exuberance. 


ANNA  SHOPAY  Olyphant,  Pa. 

This  little  girl  has  a  sweet  and  attractive  manner  all 
her  own.  Isn't  it  a  pleasure  only  to  look  at  her?  And 
don't  you  enjoy  the  very  sound  of  her  voice?  Smooth 
in  meaning  as  in  tone  are  her  words,  and  a  touch  of 
flattery  usually  seasons  them.  What  quaint  little 
remarks  she  makes!  A  touch  of  mystery  always  adds 
interest,  and  even  this  is  not  lacking  in  Anna's  case. 
Now  there's  nothing  left  for  us  to  do  but  to  admit  that, 
like  everyone  else,  we  succumbed  to  Anna's  en- 
chantments. 


MICHAEL  J.  SIROTNAK 


Throop,  Pa. 


'Mike" 


Athenaean  Society;  Missionary  Committee  Y. M.C.A. 

A  good  boy  who  must  be  watched  or  he  is  liable  to  be 
led  astray.  Never  cuts  exams  and  always  has  a  smile 
when  everything  goes  wrong.  We  believe  he  must  be  a 
strong  Republican  for  we  know  him  to  be  a  staunch  ad- 
mirer of  "Hughes",  although  he  might  at  any  time  be- 
come progressive.  "Mike"  is  well  liked  throughout  the 
school  and  is  an  earnest  student  of  more  than  ordinary 
ability. 


65 


GERTKUDE  SKELLET  Starrucca,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

Starrucca  has  given  us  many  excellent  students. 
Gertrude  is  one  of  them.  A  very  good  brain  she  has 
and  a  great  thirst  for  knewledge.  Gertrude  studies 
hard  and  she  accomplishes  wonders.  Every  one  of  the 
illustrious  marks  which  she  has  gotten,  and  is  getting, 
are  fully  deserved.  She  has  a  pleasant  smile  and  a 
kind  word  for  everybody.  Ready  for  work,  ready  for 
play,  ready  for  seriousness,  ready  for  fun.  How  she 
loves  a  joke.  No  one  gets  ahead  of  her  on  this  score 
either.  It  is  a  pleasui'e  to  wish  her  success,  for  we  feel 
we  do  not  wish  in  vain. 


GEORGE  B.  SQUIRES  Mainesburg,  Pa. 

"Spike",  "Bowen",  "Dolittle" 

Emersonian  Literary  Society;  Sec'y  Y.  M.  C.  A.; 
Scrub  Football;  Scrub  Basketball. 

It  is  a  fine  thing  to  be  pointed  out  and  have  people 
say  "There  He  Is." 

The  only  bird  in  the  class  of  the  canary  variety.  We 
need  two  pages  for  a  good  write-up  of  George  B.  He 
is  famous  for  being  a  social  genius,  for  his  feet,  for  his 
rough-housing  (they  say  that  where-ever  he  goes  there 
is  a  regular  "Hurley"-burly!),  for  his  supposed  drag 
and  for  his  remarkable  susceptibility  to  feminine  charms. 


JOSEPHINE  SQUIRES  Mansfield,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

Josephine  is  tall  and  dignified  and  oh,  very,  very ' 
studious.  Just  a  hint  of  stubbornness  in  her  make  up 
too, — enough,  anyway,  to  cause  her  to  get  up  hours  be- 
fore daybreak  to  rob  the  faculty  of  the  inestimable  joy 
of  flunking.  She's  not  always  quiet  and  reserved.  Not 
a  bit  of  it!  When  the  frequent  hilarity  of  Fifth  Floor 
Hospital  waxes  highest  and  strongest,  her  voice  is 
heard  with  the  rest — if  not  above.  A  good  mixture  of 
fun  and  seriousness, —  that  is  what  we  like — and  that 
is  what  Josephine  has. 


66 


LOIS  SQUIRES  Mainesburg,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

A  dignified,  reserved,  shy  little  girl,  you  say?  Well, 
perhaps,  sometimes.  Lois  is  generous,  big-hearted  and 
frank.  The  desire  of  her  heart  is  to  minister  to  the 
aches  and  pains  of  others — and  we  who  have  had  a 
sample  of  her  gentle  ministerings,  can  testify  as  to  her 
capabilites.  Would  not  the  disagreeableness  of  any  ill- 
ness be  mitigated  by  such  a  charming  nurse?  Alas!  we 
fear  that  all  too  soon  some  masculine  mind  and  heart 
will  say  the  same — and  good  nurses  are  so  rare!  Good 
wives  are,  too,  of  course.    Success  in  your  work,  Lois! 


ANNA  STEIN 

Emersonian  Society. 


Ounmore,  Pa. 


Alack!  alack!  Two  eyes  of  black 

They  have  proved  my  undoing. 
'Tis  the  doleful  chant  of  many  a  fond  admirer  who 
worships  from  afar.  Yes,  Anna  is  a  ruthless  heart- 
smasher, — no,  not  ruthless  really,  because  she  means  no 
harm.  It  is  quite  natural,  innate  coquetry  on  her  part. 
Anna  blew  in  from  Dunmore  with  several  others  and 
created  quite  a  breeze  in  our  midst,  with  her  black, 
black  hair  and  her  bewilderingly  lovely  clothes.  And 
there  is  her  voice  with  little  ripples  and  waves  like  a 
soft  Southern  breeze  or  a  quiet  brook.  Yes,  quite  an 
unusual  person  she  was  and  is. 


SUSIE  STERLING  Brooklyn,  Pa. 

"Suz" 

Athenaean  Society;  Carontawan  Board. 

Quiet  and  dignified,  witty  and  full  to  overflowing 
with  pure  fun.  She  undertakes  nothing  which  she  does 
not  carry  to  a  glowing  finish.  So — if  you  want  a  thing 
done — done  well,  quickly  and  with  no  confusion,  apply 
here.  Suz  is  a  real  scholar  and  glories  in  her  work. 
Peculiarly  reticent  and  very  modest  about  her  numer- 
ous attributes  and  accomplishments.  Becoming  humility 
— is  what  we  would  say.  Perhaps  she  camouflages  but 
we  know  her  "Sterling"  worth.  Suz's  friends  love  her, 
knowing  her  to  be  the  truest  and  most  steadfast  of 
friends — sympathetic,  thoughtful,  generous  and  wise. 


67 


MARION  STEVENS  Towanda,  Pa. 

Atheneaen  Society;  Student  Council. 

Marion's  person  radiates  cheer  and  good  humor.  She 
is  one  of  the  busiest  persons  we  know — never  wasting 
precious  time  nor  vaguely  wondering  what  to  do  next, 
she  accomplishes  things.  Tis  said  that  the  busy  person 
is  just  the  one  to  go  to,  if  you  want  things  done  and 
done  well.  We  f.nd  this  particularly  applicable  to 
Marion,  for  no  matter  how  rushed  she  is,  someway  she 
always  finds  time  and  the  inclination  to  help  some  one 
else.  Enthusiastic,  earnest,  strong,  self-reliant  and 
quite  intoleiant  of  the  grumbler.— all  these  she  is. 


MARTHA  STRANGE 

Oh,  wh?t  shall  we  say 
Of  this  sprightly  young  maiden 
With  talent  and  brains 
So  abundantly  laden? 
A  wealth  of  blond  hair 
Blue  eyes  that  dance 
The  possessor  of  beauties 
Which  foot  lights  enhance. 
Behind  these  said  foot  lights 
She  sometimes  does  "star" 
And  applause  greets  her  efforts 
Which  is  heard  near  and  far. 


Mansfield,  Pa. 


BLANCHE  STRAUGHN  Baltimore,  Maryland. 

Domestic     Science;     Athenaean     Society;     President 
Student  Council. 

Our  worthy  student  government  president.  Behold 
her  well!  Wisely,  quietly  and  well  does  she  control  us 
—and  you  have  not  found  us  distractingly  unmanage- 
able, have  you,  Blanche?  Frank,  sensible  and  witty  (in 
a  very  dry  and  original  fashion)  is  this  much  respected 
Senior.  A  great  deal  of  her  vaulable  time  she  spends 
•puttering  about  in  the  mysterious  confines  of  the 
Domestic  Science  kitchen.  We  have  heard  that  she  is 
simply  "out  of  sight"  when  it  comes  to  preparing 
dainty  and  delectable  concoctions.  Blanche  has  true 
generosity— the  kind  that  not  only  gives  but  shares. 


68 


GRACE  STREBY  Overton,  Pa. 

"Is  Streby  a  French  name?"  inquired  this  young 
woman's  teacher  in  French,  much  impressed  with  her 
excellent  pronunciation  of  that  language;  but  one  would 
be  ceitain  that  Grace  is  American  on  hearing  her 
smooth  and  easy  translations  into  English.  She  has  a 
real  "peaches-and-  cream"  complexion  which  forms  a 
most  irresistible  contrast  to  her  masses  of  black  hair. 
Her  calm  and  rather  serious  face  appears  almost 
austere  at  times;  but  it  takes  little  investigation  to  dis- 
cover in  Grace  an  amiable  and  very  likable  companion. 
Long  live  Your  Grace! 


VERNA  STROUSE  Elmira,  N.  Y. 

"Vern" 

Emersonian   Society. 

We  truthfully  believe  her  to  be  the  neatest  girl  in 
Mansfield.  Every  lock  of  her  black  hair  is  always  in 
place  and  nothing  seems  to  succeed  in  breaking  it  loose. 
If  a  stiff  gust  of  wind  strikes  Verna  it  says,  "excuse 
me"  and  backs  away.  It  doesn't  have  the  nerve  to  muss 
things  up.  A  better-hearted,  more  whole-souled  or  gener- 
ous girl  never  lived.  She  is  helpful  and  willing.  Un- 
varying cheerfulness  and  good  humor  are  enviable 
characteristics.  Verna  has  them.  A  faithful  and  con- 
scientious student  is  Verna.  The  good  will  of  the  class 
is  heis. 


MARY  THOMAS  Taylor,  Pa. 

Carontawan  Board;  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Cabinet;  Emersonian 
Society. 

Mix  in  fascinating  proportions  two  blooming  pink 
cheeks,  two  sparkling  brown  eyes,  a  luxurious  wealth 
of  brown  hair  and  a  little  athletic  figure  and  there  you 
have — our  Mary,  as  we  see  her  frisking  about  in  our 
midst.  She  has  that  enviable  faculty  of  looking  an- 
gelically innocent  of  any  offense  when  she  is  invariably 
the  culprit.  Alas  and  alack!  However,  poor  Mary's  days 
of  frolic  were  cut  short  by  a  stern  eyed  face  who  decreed 
that  she  should  not  only  control  her  own  but  an  entire 
floor's  conduct.  Generous,  droll,  lively,  attractive — 
would  these  not  make  anyone  popular?

GEORGE  TUROCK  Priceburg,  Pa. 

"Turk" 

Athenaean  Society;  Varsity  Football,  Varsity  Base- 
ball. 

A  rough  house  artist  who  is  never  happy  unless  he 
has  a  peanut  to  throw  at  the  professor  or  is  warbling  in 
that  child  soprano  voice  of  his  which  has  become  so 
familiar.  He  did  not  get  to  Fiance  but  what  of  that? 
Hf.s  he  not  won  a  French  maiden  who  seems  to  satisfy 
him  perfectly?  Frank,  sincere,  energetic,  a  real  man 
on  the  football  field  or  baseball  diamond,  popular  and 
well  liked.  Addenda — To  all  appearances  our  clean  and 
stalwart  Tuik  thinks  "To  air  is  human."  n'est-ce-pas? 


ERMA  TURRELL  Birchardville.  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

A  most  wholesome  picture  is  Erma  with  her  rose- 
blocm  and  her  air  of  sturdy  health.  Her  next-door 
neighbors  declare  that  at  any  hour  of  the  night  Erma 
may  be  heaid  holding  forth  in  some  poetic  role:  which 
remaik  suggests  the  query  "Does  she  elocute  in  her 
sleep?"  During  part  of  the  day  Erma  officiates  at  the 
library,  where  she  sets  herself  willingly  to  locate  any 
stray  volume  you  may  desire.  This  disposition  to  oblige 
makes  her  room  a  popular  resort  for  those  addicted  to 
borrowing — in  which  class  belong  most  poor  frail 
Normalites. 


FRANCES  TWADDLE  Dunmore,  Pa. 

Y.  W.  C.  A.  Cabinet;  Class  Secretary;  Comic  Editor; 
Athenaean  Society;  Spanish  Teacher. 

Enthusiasm — that's  Frances! 

Flivver  rides,  hers  by  the  score. 

Rules  she  considers  a  bore. 

Ambition — her  ears  to  wiggle. 

Nothing  is  quite  like  her  giggle. 

Chocolates  fine,  Archie's  treat. 

Everywhere  you'll  see  them  meet. 
Slumbers — in  class  doubly  sweet.

CATHERINE  URELL  Tioga,  Pa. 

Editor-in-Chief  of  Carontawan;  Alta  Petens  Society. 

Our  Editor!  How  vastly  has  her  judgment  and  en- 
thusiasm contributed  to  the  success  of  this  book.  Strik- 
ing originality,  rare  brilliance,  versatility  and  a  char- 
acter of  much  depth  and  strength — all  these  are  hers. 
Alarmingly  absent-minded  she  is,  too.  Last  year,  we 
hear,  she  went  swaggering  to  Chemistry  class  with  her 
guitar,  which  she  had  been  strumming,  tucked  lovingly 
under  her  arm.  Her  wit  is  sparkling  and  when  she 
talks — which  is  most  of  the  time — our  minds  have  to 
take  runs  and  skips  and  jumps  to  keep  up  with  her. 
Wide  interests  are  hers  and  she  does  all  with  charac- 
teristic energy.    Every  good  wish,  Cat! 


NELLIE  VAN  NESS  Sabinsville,  Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

Nellie's  eyes  are  big  and  black,  quite  studious  and 
serious  she  may  be,  but  is  very  funny,  too,  when  she  is 
so  disposed.  Life  weighs  heavily  upon  Nellie's  young 
shoulders  and  many  ai  e  the  bridges  she  crosses  'ere 
she  comes  to  them.  If  you  want  some  good,  sound, 
practical  advice,  come  to  Nellie.  Her  recitations!  The 
envy  of  all.  Always  ready  with  the  right  answer. 
Others  may  be  ready,  but  not  with  the  right  answer, 
al2s!  A  really  thoughtful,  serious-minded  idealist  is 
Nellie,  meriting  the  respect  and  love  of  all. 


ELMER  E.  VOSBURG  Pittston,  Pa. 

"Vos" 

Y.  M.  C.  A.  Cabinet;  Carontawan  Board;  Varsity 
Football;  Scrub  Basketball. 

"For  idleness  is  an  appendix  to  nobility." 

Vos  came  to  us  from  Mercersburg  Academy,  to  join 
the  S.  A.  T.  C.  and  after  the  unit  was  disbanded,  due  to 
certain  feminine  charms  and  the  attractiveness  of  the 
School,  he  decided  to  make  Mansfield  his  "Alma  Mater." 
He  has  bee":  very  prominent  in  Literary  Society  work, 
displaying  gieat  stage  ability  and  has  headed  up  the 
religious  work  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  in  an  excellent  man- 
ner. It  is  no  mean  thing  to  be  graduated  from  this 
school  in  one  year,  while  being  engaged  in  athletics, 
too;  and  too  much  credit  cannot  be  given  you,  "Vos", 
for  your  accomplishment.

ALMA  WADE  Mansfield,  Pa. 

"Whatsoever  thy  hand  findeth  to  do,  do  it  with  thy 
might."  Alma's  activities  suggest  to  us  these  words, 
for  she  is  what  her  commercial  teacher  calls  "a  bom 
typist,"  and  can  manipulate  the  alphabet  at  the  rate 
2:40  (or  don't  they  measure  typewriting  speed  that 
way?);  besides,  she  is  a  creditable  musician  and  does 
delightful  things  to  the  piano  keys.  We  might  add: 
"Whatsoever  thy  foot  findeth  to  do" — for  Alma  is  learn- 
ing to  trod  the  airy  mazes  of  the  sweet,  seductive  waltz. 
She  is  making  the  most  of  life. 


IRENE  WALSH  Scranton,  Pa. 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

Irene  of  the  lovely  curly  hair  and  nimble  fingers  and 
toes.  Almost  unvarying  good  humor  is  hers.  A  dispo- 
sition sweet,  pliable  and  amiable.  Nothing  makes  her 
happier  .  than  music — music  all  the  time.  Somewhat 
friskier  she  was  last  year — so  frisky  in  fact  that  she 
worked  off  part  of  her  surplus  energy  in  "skipping" 
about  joyously  and  frequently.  Serene  and  imperturb- 
able as  i\  rule  but  frenzied  with  excitement  if,  per- 
chance, a  wee  black  beastie  frisks  within  a  radius  of 
six  yards  of  her.  Such  fun  to  tease  her  about  it. — Good 
luck,  Irene. 


MIRIAM  WARDLE  Scranton,  Pa. 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

Does  this  member  of  our  illustrious  class  appear  to 
you  to  be  a  girl  who  hasn't  yet  outgrown  building- 
blocks  and  paper-dolls?  Really,  she  hasn't.  Kinder- 
garten is  her  line  and  Miss  Bond  her  ideal;  so  we 
prophesy  for  Miriam  a  career  of  great  usefulness  and 
success;  especially  as  she  possesses  what  one  homesick 
Junior  designated  as  a  sort  of  motherliness  which 
charms  away  one's  troubles.  Miriam  is  a  mighty  fine 
girl  and  we  like  her  a  "lot"!

LAURA  WELLS  Forest  City,  Pa. 

"Chubby" 

When  Laura  jests — and  almost  always  Laura  is  jest- 
ing— all  those  present  at  once  burst  into  loud  guffaws 
of  merriment.  It  requires  a  decided  stretch  of  the  im- 
agination to  picture  Chubby  serious,  until  you  have 
heard  one  of  these  meek,  but  very  effective,  recitations 
in  class.  If  Chubby  should  attempt  any  except  her  own 
particular  brand  of  humor  she  would  never  succeed,  for 
it's  the  way  she  looks  and  speaks  that  overturns  all 
your  dignified  seriousness  (if  you  hapen  to  have  any). 
She  certainly  seems  to  make  life  amusing  for  certain 
young  men  of  our  Alma  Mater! 


SIBYL  WELLS 


Emersonian  Society. 


Wyalusing,  Pa. 


'Shible" 


She  can  sing,  she  can  dance,  she  can  play, 
She's  intensely  alive  all  the  day, 
But  when  met  by  the  ghosts, 
Of  the  poetic  hosts, 
She  quietly  faded  away. 

When  one  mentions  fading  away 

We  all  of  us  think  of  the  day 

She  gave  the  Psychology  class  a  shock 

By  fainting  away  in  the  arms  of  Turoek. 


HELEN  WHITNEY  Thompson,  Pa. 

Emersonian  Society. 

There  is  about  Helen  that  healthful,  rosy-cheecked, 
rustic  atmospheie  which  speaks  insistently  of  sunny 
fields  and  harvest — apples  and  the  simple  ways  of 
Nature.  She  has  the  important  attributes,  capability 
and  common  sense.  Her  brain  is  adapted  to  the  scholar- 
ly pursuits  of  Literature  and  the  various  other  subjects 
which  a  Noimal  Course  included.  Indeed,  Helen  is 
said  to  read  "Milton"  with  such  pleasure  as  most  of  the 
hastening  human  beings  of  to-day  could  not  compre- 
hend. Helen  does  her  work  quietly  and  well.  Her 
feminine  skill  is  demonstrated  by  the  crocheting  and 
embroidery  her  small  hands  accomplish.  '

FENIMORE   WILLIAMS  Potterville,  Pa. 

Grey  matter  does  not  always  make  one  grey:  witness, 
Fenimore  Williams.  For  he  looks  very  young — ab- 
surdly young  to  know  all  he  knows.  The  secret  is,  that 
he  isn't  burdened  with  brains;  he  just  carries  them 
along  with  him  as  jauntily  as  he/d  carry  a  tennis  racket 
or  any  other  commodity  useful  to  one's  enjoyment  of 
life.  His  winning  smile  and  cheerful  manner  form  one 
of  the  chief  attractions  at  Coles'.  Whether  he  is  a  bud- 
ding orator  or  an  incipient  business-man  is  yet  a  prob- 
lem; but  in  either  case  we're  sure  he'll  gain  success. 


EMILY  WILLSON  Rendham,  Pa. 

Emily  has  a  winning  smile  and  a  pleasant  word  for 
everyone  at  all  times — even  when  she  is  playing  the 
role  of  Job!  We  believe  that  Emily  is  a  type  of  the 
ideal  school-girl — youthfully  slender,  much  alive,  at- 
tractive, sunny,  popular,  sweet,  courteous,  trustful, 
mild,  full  of  fun,  boy-loving, — and  extremely  fond  of 
pickles!  Perhaps  the  best  way  to  describe  this  lass, 
who  engages  in  so  many  activities  that  one  knows  not 
which  one  to  emphasize,  is  to  use  a  phrase  which  con- 
tains one  of  our  modern  ideals — "an  all  'round  girl." 


MARIAN   WOODBURY  Knoxville,   Pa. 

Assistant  Art  Editor  of  Carontawan;  Athenaean 
Society. 

A  girl  with  a  great  purpose,  untiring-  effort  and  skill. 
One  cannot  know  her  in  a  day,  for  this  clear-eyed, 
dignified  lass  is  prone  to  be  very  aloof,  independent  and 
indifferent.  Her  work  in  this  book  is  proof  of  her  art- 
istic talent.  Not  often  does  one  chance  upon  any  one 
as  devoted  to  her  work  as  is  Marian.  And  when  she 
becomes  the  artist  which  she  will,  we  shall  all  throw 
out  our  chests  and  in  a  style  grandioso,  as  if  we  were 
the  direct  cause  of  her  fame,  shall  say,  "Oh,  she  was 
mv  class-mate!"

CLYDE    BAILEY  Wellsboro,  Pa. 

Clyde  did  not  return  to  our  midst  this  year,  he  heard  the  call  of  his  country  and 
enlisted  in  the  Marine  Corps. 


EDWARD    BAILEY  Mansfield,  Pa. 

Varsity  Basket  Ball. 

One  fine  day  we  saw  Ed,  straight,  khaki-clad,  in  our  midst  again.  "Ed  is  back!" 
was  the  general  chorus  of  delight.  His  protracted  absence  made  it  impossible  for  him 
to  finish  with  us  this  year,  but  those  not  leaving  will  welcome  him  back  next  year. 
When  basket  ball  season  opens  there  he  will  be  playing  with  his  usual  vigor  and  skill. 
Knocked  down,  stepped  on — only  to  rise  again.  India  Rubber!  You  can't  keep  him 
down.     Luck,  Ed! 


DOROTHY   BAKER  Nelson,  Pa. 

The  "Dot"  representing  Nelson,  not  in  the  Atlas,  but  at  Mansfield  Normal,  has 
absented  herself  from  our  midst,  but  not  from  our  memories.  We  miss  her,  but  we 
feel  we  must  not  begrudge  next  year's  Seniors  such  a  valuable  member  as  Dorothy 
is  sure  to  be. 


HARRY    BERGEN  Wilkes  Barre,  Pa. 

Harry  was  president  of  his  class  last  year,  but  has  transferred  his  affections  to 
the  class  of  1920. 


HIRAM    DARTT  Wellsboro,   Pa. 

"Hi"  "Hike" 

Varsity  Football. 

"Hi"  made  a  strong  center  for  the  football  team  last  fall,  but  when  the  Unit  left 
he  followed  it  as  far  as  Wellsboro  and  did  not  return. 


ELLSWORTH  EVANS  Wellsboro,  Pa. 

Ellsworth  did  not  return  this  year,  but  went  to  the  University  of  Pennyslvania.

CERAL    GARR1S0N-HUSTED  Jobs   Corners,   Pa. 

Cera!  did  not  join  our  class  until  last  fall,  but  soon  Dan  Cupid  turned  her  eyes 
from  the  business  course  to  a  practical  course  in  Home  Economics,  and  she  married 
Brvan  Husted  during  the  winter  vacation. 


RALPH    CASPER    GILLETTE  Mansfield,  Pa. 

"Cap" 

"Cap"  was  a  very  friendly  little  fellow  who  always  took  every  chance  to  tell  you 
he  was  an  Irishman.  He  came  from  the  local  high  school  to  the  Normal,  but  the  call 
to  colors  was  too  strong  for  him  and  he  enlisted  in  the  Engineering  Corps.  He  was 
wounded  slightly  once  and  bears  the  distinction  of  being  the  only  man  in  the  class 
of  '19  to  see  service  in  France. 


JOSEPH    HAYES 

Joe,  whose  heart  thumped  not  at  the  sight  of  a  fair  face,  but  at  the  mere 
mention'  of  a  ball  and  bat.  Only  the  baseball  diamond  interested  Joe.  and  how  we 
enjoyed  watching  him  make  those  famous  home  runs.  We  shall  miss  him  on  the 
field  this  year. 


HARRIET   JOHNSON  Laceyville,    Pa. 

Athenaean  Society. 

Our  ever  obliging,  quietly  cheerful  Harriet  who  "F!u"  away  from  us  early  in 
the  year.  We  have  missed  her.  How  she  astonished  all,  even  our  noble  professors, 
with  her  virile  mathematical  mind.  A  good  and  diligent  student  from  Laceyville. 
Sounds  queer  doesn't  it?     What's  in  a  name,  anyway? 


JAMES    TOOLE 

Alta  Petens  Society. 

Jimmy  of  the  broad,  good  natured  grin,  Irish  wit  and  fantastic  dancing.  We 
do  not  forget  him.  How  fearfully  our  eyes  followed  him  sometimes  as  he  ambled 
out  of  the  dining  room.  It  would  have  been  no  great  surprise  to  see  an  arm  or  two 
fly  off  or  a  leg  give  way.  There  was  never  such  a  walk.  Big  hearted  and  kind  was 
Jimmy,  with  a  little  too  much  fondness  for  rollicking  jamborees.  We  were  sorry 
to  see  him  go. 


76 


JOHN  COX 

Say  not  that  he  is  dead,  say  not  he  sleeps: 
That  young  and  buoyant  life  of  his  still  leaps 
In  power  and  scope  unfettered.     And  above 
His  soul  goes  on  in  work,  and  joy,  and  love — - 
Love  that  strays  back  to  earth,  and,  wond'ring  says, 
How  selfish  we  who  grieve  that  he  has  flown! 
Weep  not  for  one  'who  as  a  traveler- 
Goes  to  discover  countries  vet  unknown'." 


John  Cox  entered  our  class  after  graduation  from 
Mansfield  High  School  in  1917.  He  was  a  general 
favorite  and  active  in  school  affairs.  He  was  president 
of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  a  member  of  the  orchestra.  In 
August  last  he  enlisted  as  an  ambulance  driver,  but 
was  later  transferred  to  a  hospital  for  training  as 
assistant  to  the  army  surgeons.  He  contracted 
influenza,  which  was  followed  by  pneumonia,  which 
caused  his  death  on  September  30,  1918.  His  body  was 
brought  to  Mansfield  under  military  escort  and  buried 
in  a  Mansfield  cemetery.

THE  JUNIOR  CLASS 


President — Donald  McAndrew. 

Vice  President — Bayard  Hammond. 

Treasurer — Roy   Bixby. 

Secretary — Ethel    D.    Jones. 

During  the  summer  of  1918  we  all  were  anticipating,  with  thrills  of  delight,  what 
the  coming  autumn  was  to  bring  us.  For  had  we  not  decided  that  we  were  going 
to  Mansfield  State  Normal  School  ?  Many  of  our  friends  had  told  us  wondrous  tales 
of  their  Alma  Mater,  "the  school  on  the  hill." 

September  tenth  was  the  eventful  day  when,  trunks  packed  and  good-byes  said, 
we  fared  forth  on  our  memorable  adventure.  Some  of  us  reached  Mansfield  in 
automobiles  piled  high  with  various  sorts  of  luggage.  Others  took  that  indescribable 
ride  on  the  Tioga  Division  of  the  Erie,  reselling  their  destination  early  in  the  evening. 

As  we  entered  the  corridor  of  North  Hall,  we  were  met  by  many  members  of 
the  faculty,  whose  warm  welcome  brought  us  to  an  understanding  of  the  charm  of 
Mansfield  Normal. 

In  noticing  the  statue  of  "The  Winged  Victory"  in  the  corridor,  we  felt  that  loss 
of  head  was  scarcely  to  be  expected  in  an  institution  whose  aim  is  to  cultivate  that 
member;  but,  in  our  exalted  frame  of  mind,  the  gi  owth  of  wings  seemed  probable. 

The  following  day  we  were  ass'sted  by  d'fferent  teachers  in  the  momentous 
operation  of  making  out  our  programs.  Then  followed  the  traditional  search  for 
classrooms.  Arriving  hopefully  at  Room  3,  one  was  dispatched  in  bewilderment  to 
Room  E,  South  Hall.  At  least  our  inexperience  excused  our  frequent  tardiness. 
But  order   soon   replaced   chaos. 

We  have  found  that  time  never  hangs  heavy  on  our  hands,  for  during  the  week 
our  study  keeps  us  busy,  while  movies.  dances_plays,  and  athletic  games  beguile  the 
week-ends.  It  was  feared  at  first  that  the  war  would  prevent  our  athletic  enterprises. 
Then  came  the  news  that  the  government  had  established  an  S.  A.  T.  C.  Unit  at 
our  school  and  the  success  of  ath'etics  was  thereby  assured.  Though  our  Unit  was 
finally  demobilized,  many  of  the  boys,  including  some  excellent  athletes,  have  remained 
with  us. 

The  Juniors  can  never  forget  the  many  unusual  happenings  of  the  Fall  Term. 
Influenza!!  The  word  calls  up  visio"s  of  occupations  at  which  we  became  past-masters, 
— poaching  eggs,  toasting  bread,  balancing  trays,  and  taking  temperatures. 

Student  Government  was  established  in  North  Hall  during  this  term.  The  girls 
will  always  be  proud  to  remember  that  they  weie  charter  members  of  an  organization 
which  is  proving  to  successful. 

The  Juniors  are  well  represented  in  the  Literary  Societies  and  have  taken  active 
part   in   the   programs.     In    so   doing,   many  have   displayed    especial   talent. 

The  helpful  friendship  of  the  Seniors  has  been  appreciated  by  all  of  us,  and  we 
shall  miss  them.     Our  best  wishes  for  their  success  go  with  them. 

Our  class  is,  we  believe,  as  it  should  be — brilliant,  loyal,  and  enthusastic.  We  hope 
most  sincerely  that  when  we,  the  Class  of  1920,  are  to  depart,  it  will  be  known  that 
each  of  us  has  done  his  "bit"  toward  upholding  the  standards  of  our  Alma  Mater.

UNDERCLASSMEN 

With  glowing  cheek  or  aspect  pale, 

The  perilous  ascent  they  scale. 

And  some  at  each  round  pause  and  quake, 

While   othevs   bolder  chances   take. 

Examinations — winds  may  rock — 

The  stairs  can  well  withstand  this  shock. 

If  you  should  slip,  know  this:  at  least 

The  steps  for  your  descent  aren't  greased; 

And  te?chers  do  not  seek  your  fall, 

The  ladder  steadying,  one  and  all. 

Be  not  dismayed  at  what  we  say — 

We  who  have  also  passed  this  way: 

You're  sure  to  find,  if  you  persist. 

That  what  seems  cloud  is  only  mist; 

That  other  ladders  there  arise 

From   where  this   seems   to   touch   the   skies.

THE     CONSERVATORY     OF     MUSIC 

The  Conservatory  of  Music  of  the  Mansfield  State  Normal  School  has  a  far 
reaching  reputation  for  the  strength  of  its  several  departments  and  the  high  standard 
of  its  work  and  requirements.  There  are  few  institutions  and  very  decidedly  fewer 
Normal  Schools  that  furnish  equal  facilities  for  the  acquiring  of  a  substantial  musical 
education  to  equip  the  student  for  a  teacher  or  concert  artist. 

The  departments  presented  are  piano,  voice,  violin,  pipe  organ,  orchestral 
instruments,  mandolin,  guitar,  etc.;  theory  in  all  its  branches,  music  history,  and  a 
very   complete   public   school   music   supervisors'   course. 

The  conservatory  also  maintains  a  splendid  orchestra  and  ensemble  for  the  benefit 
of  the  students  and  also  a  girls'  and  boys'  glee  club.  An  opera  is  studied  and  presented 
during  the  spring  term  of  each  year. 

The  director  of  the  conservatory  and  instructor  of  violin  and  theory  is  Dr.  Will 
George  Butler,  a  violinist  and  composer  of  wide  reputation,  who  has  been  associated 
in  recital  and  concert  work  with  some  of  the  world's  greatest  artists,  including 
Paderewski,  Godowsky,  Sembrich,  Bispham,  Ysaye.  Emil  Liebling,  and  many  others. 
His  compositions  have  been  extensively  used  by  many  celebrated  artists,  including 
Sousa,  Ernest  Gamble,  Edouard  DeReszke,  Hekking,  Bispham  and  numerous  others. 

Elsie  Farnham,  Mus.  B.,  teacher  of  piano  and  organ,  is  a  player  and  instructor 
of  high  ability,  who  is  producing  very  thorough  work  in  her  teaching.  Miss  Farnham 
presides  at  the  beautiful  Austin  organ  in  Alumni  Hall  and  her  recitals  are  a  feature 
of  the  school. 

Miss  Vivian   Reynolds  is  the  efficient  teacher   in  public   school   music   methods   and 
produces  unusual  results  both  with  her  student  teachers  and  in  the  Model  School. 

The  new  teachers  that  have  come  to  us  this  year  are  Fannie  M.  Helner,  Mus.  B., 
piano;  Miss  Cora  A.  Atwater,  voice;  Beulah  Harkness,  public  school  rudiments,  and 
Miss  Ruth  Hughes,  voice. 

Miss  Helner  is  a  graduate  of  Syracuse  University  under  Dr.  Adolf  Frey  and  was 
the  honor  student  of  her  class.  She  is  a  brilliant  pianist  and  has  had  considerable 
experience  in  concert  work,  having  had  a  season  of  lyceum  work,  and  has  accompanied 
Lucy  Gates,  Carl  Webster,  Melville  Clark,  Alice  Sjoselius,  and  other  artists  in  concert. 
Dr.  Frey  recently  dedicated  his  new  composition,  "Valse  Arabesque",  to  Miss   Helner. 

Miss  Atwater,  a  graduate  of  Elmira  College,  is  an  experienced  and  well  equipped 
teacher.  She  is  the  contralto  soloist  in  the  quartette  choir  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
Church  of  Elmi*-a  and  possesses  a  rich  full  voice  intelligently  used,  which  has  been 
much  enjoyed  by  our  music  lovers. 

Miss  Harkness  is  a  graduate  in  the  music  supervisors'  course  of  the  Ithaca 
conservatory.  Her  voice  is  a  high  soprano  and  her  program  work  has  been  highly 
appreciated. 

Miss  Hughes  is  a  graduate  of  last  year's  class  and  possesses  an  excellent  voice. 
Her  native  histrionic  ability  is  unusual  and  her  appearances  in  the  operas  and  on 
programs  have  given  marked   satisfaction. 

Quite  a  number  of  Artists  recitals  have  been  given  during  the  year.  The  faculty 
gave  a  recital  in  October  and  Ole  Theobaldi,  distinguished  violinist;  Lillian  Case, 
contralto;  Helen  Kellere,  pianist;  the  Bostonia  Sextette  Club;  Alice  Sjoselius,  Flavian 
Vanderveken,    Anna    Stiles    and    other    artists    have    appeared    this    season.

ART 


] 


THE    ART   DEPARTMENT 

Art  has  been  defined  as  the  ability  to  answer  in  terms  of  beauty  a  human  need. 
The  puipose  of  art  education  is  the  development  of  appieciation  of  the  beautiful  and 
power  to  produce  beautiful  things.  It  broadens  the  vision,  increases  efficiency,  refines 
the  taste,  and  gives  expression  to  the  soul  vision  in  which  the  artist  is  both  the 
recorder  and  creator.  We  are  striving  for  a  new  national  art  in  America — "A  history 
of  art  is  a  history  of  civilization"  and  he  ice  a  history  of  all  that  is  best  in  the  life 
of  any  nation.  Instead  of  teaching  drawing  from  realistic  and  sentimental  standpoint, 
utility  is  becoming  the  supreme  test  expressed  in  terms  of  beauty,  as  it  is  the  test 
of  Industry,  Education,  and  Life  itself.  "It  is  the  charm  of  thought  and  sentiment 
embodied  in  all  that  is  of  use  to  Man." 

The  Department  of  Fine  Arts  is  conducted  in  the  most  modern  methods  with  a 
thorough  course  of  study.  In  representation  and  illustration  accurate  drawing,  and 
good  technique  from  still  life  and  the  antique  are  required,  and  a  direct  study  from 
life  and  nature  through  the  mediums  of  water  color,  charcoal,  pencil  and  pen  and 
ink.  The  elas?es  in  Design  and  Applied  Design  study  the  principles  of  design  and 
their  application  through  different  media;  as  in  the  crafts  of  metalry,  jewelry,  china 
painting,  block  printing,  stenciling,  book  binding,  tooled  leather,  and  basketry.  It 
includes  the   study  of  plant   forms,   decorative   treatment   and   color   harmonies. 

The  purpose  of  the  Art  teachers'  course  is  to  give  a  thorough  training  in  drawing, 
design,  color  and  construction  together  with  practice  in  the  adaptation  of  the  details 
of  these  subjects  to  the  needs  of  the  children  in  the  public  schools.  Theory  and  practice 
of  teaching  and  supervision  is  given  in  the  Model  School  and  this  includes  observations 
and  discussion  with  the  planning  of  lessons  aid  courses. 

The  study  of  the  history  of  Architecture,  Sculpture  and  Painting  is  also  emphasized 
and  the  students  taking  this  course  have  their  own  reproduction  of  historic  ornaments 
and   collection   of  notes   and   illustrations. 

The  work  done  by  the  art  students  of  the  now  losing  year  has  been  highly 
gratifying,  characterized,  as  it  has  been,  by  industry,  enthusiasm,  thoroughness,  ability 
and  taste  of  high  order.  During  Commencement  week  the  work  of  the  students  will 
be  placed  on  exhibition  in  the  studios  to  which  the  friends  and  public  are  cordially 
invited.  —LAURA    A.    WHEELER.

ELOCUTION  DEPARTMENT 

"Only  that  which  is  expressed  grows — Expression  is  Necessary  to  Evolution" — 
Emerson. 

Beside  private  lessons  all  Elocution  students  are  given  one  class  lesson  a  week 
without  extra  charge.  The  work  pursued  in  this  class  is  Pantomine,  the  technique 
and  practice,  lessons  from  the  Evolution  of  Expression,  lessons  in  the  art  of  stage 
coaching  and  stage  make-up.  Also  the  Emerson  College  Chansonettes  are  given  to 
all  the  Elocution  students.  These  exercises,  though  simple,  aid  the  pupil  to  gain  poise, 
good  standing  position  and  also  promote  ease  and  grace  in  movement  and  gesture. 

The  pupils  of  the  Department  this  year  presented  two  one-act  plays,  "The  Girls 
Over  here",  by  Marie  Doran,  "The  Maid  of  France",  by  Harold  Brighouse,  and  also 
a  pantomime  "The  Invented  Girl",  written,  cast  and  coached  by  one  of  the  members 
of  the  department.     The  program  was  all  patriotic. 

Each  Senior  of  the  Elocution  Department  is  required  to  give  a  recital  before 
graduation.  The  program  may  consist  of  miscellaneous  readings,  but  many  of  the 
members  have  chosen  books  or  plays  which  have  been  adaptable  to  cutting  down  for 
reading.  Such  books  and  plays  as  "The  Amazing  Interlude",  by  Mary  Roberts 
Reinhardt;  "The  Servant  in  the  House",  by  Charles  Raun  Kennedy;  "The  Adventures 
of  Lady  Ursula",  by  Anthony  Hope;  "The  Rejuvenation  of  Aunt  Mary",  by  Anne 
Warner,  etc,  have  been  selected  for  senior  recitals  this  year.  The  seniors  in  music 
combine  with  those  in  Elocution  and  so  help  to  make  the  recitals  more  enjoyable. 

Each  graduate  in  Elocution  is  also  required  to  select  and  coach  a  one-act  play  as 
the  last  number  of  their  program. 

The  plays  which  have  come  or  will  come  under  the  direction  of  the  department 
outside  of  the  elocution  plays  are.  "All-of-a-Sudden  Peggy",  by  Ernest  Denny,  given 
by  the  Emersonian  and  Athenaean  Literary  Societies,  and  the  play,  "The  House  Next 
Door",  by  J.  Hartley  Manners,  presented  by  the  Alta  Petens  Society,  the  last  before 
the  Commencement  play.  — ASTRID  NYGREN.

MODEL  SCHOOL 


The  Model  School  is  a  large  and  commodious  structure,  which  has  lately  been 
constructed  near  the  campus  of  the  Normal  School.  The  building  is  a  fire-proof 
concrete  structure  with  gray  brick  facing  of  two  floors  and  a  basement.  In  the 
basement  are  playrooms  for  both  girls  and  boys,  sanitary  toilets  and  an  up-to-date 
heating  and  ventilating  system.  There  are  thirteen  well-lighted  classrooms,  an  office 
and  an  assembly  hall,  for  public  entertainments  and  exercises  in  which  the  school 
as   a   whole   participates. 

The  school  consists  of  about  four  hundred  pupils  who  reside  either  in  Mansfield 
or  are  transported  from  the  adjacent  rural  territoiy. 

Richmond  township  in  conjunction  with  Mansfield  has  worked  out  the  problem 
of  centralization  and  all  children  within  a  radius  of  six  or  seven  miles  are  transported 
by  wagons  and  autobus  to  the  schools  of   Mansfield. 

The  curriculum  of  the  school  covers  the  work  of  the  first  eight  years  and  the 
teaching  is  done  by  the  students  of  the  Normal  School  under  the  direct  supervision 
of  experienced  and  capable  supervisors.  Each  senior  is  required  to  teach  a  period  of 
forty-five  minutes  daily  during  the  entire  school  year,  thus  applying  the  pedagogical 
principles  which  are  taught   in  the  Normal   School. 

The  work  in  music  and  drawing  is  under  the  direct  supervision  of  the  teachers  of 
these  departments,  and  students  specializing  in  these  subjects  are  expected  to  give  the 
same  amount  of  time  to  practice  teaching  as  the  students  of  the  regular  Normal  Course. 

The  practical  activities  that  deserve  mention  are  the  sewing,  cooking,  agriculture, 
manual    training,    and    "The    Model",    a    grammar    school    paper. 

The  ambition  of  the  eighth  grade  girls  has  been  to  make  their  own  dresses  to 
wear  for  their  pi  ogram  when  receiving  their  county  diplomas  for  entrance  to  High 
School.  Both  boys  and  girls  have  worked  school  gardens  to  merit  the  various  prizes 
offered. 


When  the  urgent  call,  "Help  to  Win  the  War",  came,  a  Red  Cross  Unit  was 
organized  and  special  efforts  were  made  to  produce  and  save  food.  Refugee  garments 
and  hospital  supplies  were  made  and  the  country  girls  of  the  grammar  grades  were 
allowed  to  go  to  the  domestic  science  kitchen  and  learn  war  recipes.  Their  latest 
ventures  have  been  to  make  something  hot,  cocoa  or  soup,  to  add  to  the  cold  lunch  of 
all   the   country  children. 

The  ultimate  aim  of  education  being  to  develop  the  entire  man,  the  Model  School 
with  this  aim  in  view,  endeavors  to  give  special  attention  to  the  physical  education 
of  the  child.     The  primary  grades  have  a  special   period  for  supervised   play;   during 

99 


this  period  a  great  variety  of  games  are  played  and  many  stories  dramatized.  The 
intermediate  and  grammar  grades  play  football  and  basketball,  a  teacher  coaching 
each  team.  The  Normal  gymnasium  is  at  their  disposal  a  short  time  each  day.  The 
pupils  are  permitted  to  play  with  teams  from  other  schools  and  are  justly  proud  of 
their  numerous  victories. 


The  Eighth  Grade  Commencement  and  Model  School  Play  are  prominent  features 
of  the  spring  term's  work.  The  entire  class  of  the  eighth  grade  give,  before  the  public, 
original  declamations  and  essays.  The  program  is  varied  with  songs  and  recitations 
by  the  class.  The  caste  of  the  Model  School  Play  usually  consists  of  one  hundred  or 
more  characters.  The  proceeds  of  the  play  of  nineteen  hundred  eighteen  were  used 
to  purchase  a   large  number  of  the  best  children's  books  for  the   school  library. 

The  school  has  been  unusually  fortunate  in  securing  good  pictures.  In  the 
lower  hall  are  five  large  paintings  illustrating  the  founding  of  Pennsylvania.  These 
pictures  are  colored  reproductions  of  the  famous  paintings  by  Violet  Oakley,  the 
originals  of  which  are  found  in  the  State  Capitol  at  Harrisburg.  These  pictures  tell, 
as  can  no  history,  the  great  fundamental  principles  which  underlie  the  early  history 
of  the  state,  ana  are  as  invaluable  for  their  historic   interest  as  for  their  beauty. 

"Wood  Gathers",  by  Corot,  and  "Bargello  Palace  Stairs"  were  presented  by 
the  class  of  nineteen  hundred  fourteen,  and  "The  Law"  and  "St.  Peter's  and  the 
Vatican"  by  the  class  of  nineteen  hundred  fifteen.  Other  classes  and  societies  have 
presented   busts   and   pictures   which   add   greatly   to   the   beauty   of   the   school.

THE    KINDERGARTEN 


Passing  Room  15 — Alumni  Hall — one  is  attracted  by  the  sound  of  little  voices- 
little  voices  joined  in  song  or  calling  to  each  other  in  play.  The  everyday  passerby 
knows  it  as  the  Kindergarten,  and  does  not  stop,  but  the  visitor,  impelled  by  the 
fascination  of  child-life  turns  into  the  bright  room  and  finds  little  Americans  in  the 
making.  No  one  can  see  those  children  arising  at  the  first  note  of  the  "Star  Spangled 
Banner",  and  hear  them  singing  lustily  if  not  tunefully,  without  a  feeling  that  here  is 
the  small  beginning  of  that  great  thing — patriotism. 

In  this  well-lighted,  well-ventilated  room  the  children  of  the  town  have  an 
opportunity  to  strengthen  minds  and  bodies  through  stories,  songs  and  pictures,  games, 
rhythms  and  ball-plays;  an  opportunity  to  make  more  skilled  and  powerful  their  little 
untrained  fingers;  and  an  opportunity  to  work  out  the  many  original  thoughts  existing 
in  every  child's  mind,  but  often  lying  dormant  for  lack  of  material  and  encouragement. 

Our  argument  in  behalf  of  the  resulting  good  is  merely  an  invitation  to  come 
and  see — for  seeing  is  believing — and  anyone  seeing  such  a  circle  of  happy  faces, 
seeing  the   results   of  labors   of  such   tiny  hands  cannot  deny   its   life-time  benefit.

LIBRARY 

"Personal  enrichment  is  the  very  highest  and  finest  result  of  intimacy  with 
books.  The  great  service  they  render  us — the  greatest  service  that  can  be  rendered 
us — is  the  enlargement,  enrichment,  and  unfolding  of  ourselves;  they  nourish  and 
develop  that  mysterious  peisonality  which  lies  behind  all  thought,  feeling  and 
action." — Hamilton   Wright   Mabie. 

The  highest  aim  and  finest  privilege  of  a  school  library  is  to  afford  opportunities 
for  "personal  enrichment"  of  which  Mr.  Mabie  speaks.  It  shou'.d  therefore  be  liberally 
supplied  with  books — the  best  books.  A  good  reference  collection  is  highly  desirable, 
but  of  really  vital  importance  are  those  books  which  f.om  age  to  age  have  nourished 
and  developed  the  sp.rit  of  man.  Books  and  periodicals  for  recreational  reading  are 
also  necessary.  A  school  library,  moreover,  should  not  only  feed  an  already  aroused 
literary  appetite;  it  should  stimulate  hunger  for  books.  It  should  deliberately  tempt 
to  reading;  it  should  provoke  to  curiosity  about  books.  Some  means  to  this  end  are 
displays  of  finely  illustrated  volumes,  of  books  on  special  subjects,  attractive  posters 
and  book  lists.  A  school  library  should  be  a  place  of  courtesy,  order,  beauty  and 
peace.  "Consider,"  says  Erne:  son,  "what  you  have  in  the  smallest  library.  A  company 
of  the  wisest  and  wittiest  men  that  could  be  picked  out  of  all  civil  countries,  in  a 
thousand  years,  have  set  in  best  order  the  results  of  their  learning  and  wisdom."  To 
the  acquaintance  and  companionship  of  this  company,  your  school  library  invites  you. 

The  value  of  the  libiary  to  its  community  has  been  demonstrated  to  a  remarkable 
degree  during  the  last  two  years.  Libraries  in  schools,  in  rural  neighborhoods,  in 
towns,  and  in  the  large  cities  have  been  active  centers  cf  communication  between 
the  government  and  the  people.  Through  skillful  advertising  methods,  through  the 
distribution  of  free  lite:ature,  and  through  the  personal  enthusiasm  and  co-operation 
of  librarians,  the  various  enterprises  necessary  to  the  successful  prosecution  of  the 
war,  have  been  vigorously  furthe  ed.  Now  that  the  war  is  over,  the  government  has 
foimally  recognized  the  library  as  an  agency  of  communication,  by  establishing  a 
National  Library  Service  as  an  activity  of  the  Bureau  of  Education.  Some  of  its  aims 
are,  to  quote  from  an  official  publication,  "the  furtherance  of  measures  of  our 
Government  to  prevent  the  recur:  ence  of  the  scourge  of  war,  "active  aid  in  support 
of  movements  to  assist  our  'melting  pot'  in  casting  out  the  slag  of  alienism  and 
disloyalty,"  "the  rehabilitation  and  placement  of  our  returning  soldiers."  What 
gigantic  responsibilities  are  laid  upon  the  public  lib1  ary  and  the  public  schools  in  the 
times  that  are  now  upon  us!  And  yet,  with  the  task  comes  the  inspiring  sense  of 
newness  and  of  building  for  a  better  day. 

Echoes  from  the  work  cf  the  American  Library  Association  in  camp  and  trench, 
on  transport  and  in  hospital,  aie  full  of  vivid  interest.  Here  are  a  few  book  requests 
from  camps:  "Give  me  a  trigonometry  with  the  logarithm  tables  in  it."  *  *  "Let  me  see 
your  latest  book  on  the  nutritive  value  of  foods.  I'm  from  the  Cook's  and  Baker's 
School,"  *  *  "Is  there  such  a  thing  as  a  book  on  the  psychology  of  color?" 

The  demand  for  books  of  ethics,  religion  and  poetry  has  been  heavy.  The  day 
after  a  great  advance  one  soldier  wrote,  "On  such  a  day  as  this,  one  wishes  to  read 
well-expressed  words  which  deal  with  eternal  things."  Another  wrote:  "The  Oxford 
Book  of  Verse  has  been  such  a  pleasure  in  the  trsuhes.  I  don't  get  time  there  to 
read  anything  long,  and   a  little   poem   now   and   then   warms  the  vitals!" 

No  more  vivid  and  living  testimony  to  the  nourishing  and  enriching  quality  in 
books,  could   possibly  be   rendered,   than   these  two   glimpses   afford   us.

DEPARTMENT    OF    HOME  ECONOMICS 

"Civilized  man  cannot  live  without  cooks,"  is  truer  today  than  ever  before.  With 
the  world  sitting  at  a  comman  table  it  is  essential  for  the  housewife  to  have  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  foods.  The  war  has  encouraged  a  practical  education  and  the  demand 
for  trained  workers  has  increased  enormously.  All  high  schools,  normal  schools  and 
colleges  have  added  or  are  putting  in  a  department  in  Home  Economics. 

The  purpose  of  the  course  is  not  how  to  keep  house  but  to  have  an  intellectual 
conception  of  all  the  parts  and  activities  of  the  househld.  It  is  as  necessary  for  the 
homekeeper  to  apply  such  knowledge  to  her  home  as  for  the  business  man  to  use 
modern  methods  and  improvements  in  his  business.  Every  farmer  understands  what 
is  meant  by  a  balanced  ration  and  adheres  strictly  to  definite  principles  of  nutrition 
in  feeding  his  stock.  Is  not  ths  human  family  of  enough  importance  to  justify  a  like 
consideration?  In  this  time  of  world  shortage  of  food,  every  girl  or  woman  responsible 
for  the  preparation  of  food  should  be  able  to  use  any  available  food  materials 
intelligently. 

A  balanced  education  is  as  indispensable  as  a  balanced  meal.  For  complete  living 
science,  art  and  literature  must  contribute  its  share.  As  a  basis  for  the  Home  Economics 
course  at  the  Mansfield  State  Normal  School  one  should  have  a  good  high  school 
training.  The  department  here  offers  all  the  subjects  relating  directly  or  indirectly 
to  home  training,  such  as  cooking,  sewing,  design,  chemistry,  foods,  textiles,  basketry 
and  many  others.  The  aim  is  two-fold:  the  general  puipose  as  mentioned  before,  and 
secondly,  to  train  for  teaching.  All  seniors  in  Domestic  Science  are  required  to  teach 
classes  in   cooking   and    sewing   in   the    regular   Normal    Course. 

The  Domestic  Science  looms  are  large,  well-lighted  and  equipped  with  the  best 
and  most  modern  appliances.     Electricity  is   the  fuel   used. 

Demonstrations  in  cookery  are  required  of  the  seniors.  A  further  test  of  their 
knowledge  is  made  in  Quantitive  Cookery.  In  this  class  meals  are  prepared  for  a 
large  number  of  people  and   served  in  the  school  dining-room. 

Many  of  our  graduates  are  now  holding  excellent  positions.  A  well-known 
teachers'  agency  wrote  that  they  aie  always  desirous  of  placing  Mansfield  graduates 
for  reports  of  their  work  in  teaching  are  always  favorable. 

Mr.  Hoover  and  the  Food  Administration  depend  upon  Home  Economics  workers 
to  assist  in  their  food  saving  and  sharing  campaign.  The  woman  trained  in  this 
work  is  fortunate  and  the  opportunities  open  to  her  are  many.

COMMERCIAL    DEPARTMENT 

Opportunity  gravitates  to  those  who  are  prepared.  Not  once  but  many  times 
will  opportunity  knock  at  your  door  if  you  are  an  expert  stenographer,  typist,  or 
bookkeeper.  The  business  world  today  is  demanding  more  and  more  competent  workers 
and  the  teaching  profession  is  calling  for  "More  prepared  Commercial  teachers."  A 
Commercial  teacher  needs  to  be  professionally  trained  the  same  as  any  other  teacher 

Where  can  you  find  a  better  place  to  prepare  for  such  work  than  at  this  school  ? 
The  Mansfield  State  Normal  School  is  one  of  the  few  schools  that  offers  courses  in 
Commercial  subjects  in  connection  with  the  regular  Normal  course.  This  course, 
which  includes  stenography,  typewriting,  and  bookkeeping  can  be  completed  with  ease 
in  two  years  in  addition  to  the  regular  Normal  Course.  A  person  thus  prepared  has 
three  possibilities.  He  may  teach  as  other  Normal  School  graduates,  he  may  teach 
Commercial  subjects  (for  which  he  will  receive  twice  the  salary  of  an  ordinary 
teacher),  or  he  may  work  in  a  business  office  and  soon  step  from  employed  to  employer. 

For  students  who  wish  to  devote  all  their  time  to  business  subjects,  we  have  a 
full  Commercial  course,  consisting  of  stenography,  typewriting,  penmanship,  spelling, 
rhetoric,  and  office  training.  Bookkeeping  may  be  taken  if  desired  without  extra 
charge.  The  length  of  time  required  to  complete  this  course  depends  upon  the  ability 
of  the  student.  A  graduate  of  either  course  must  be  able  to  pass  a  test  of  fifty  words 
per  minute  on  the  typewriter,  take  dictation  at  the  rate  of  one  hundred  words  per 
minute  and  transcribe  it  accurately.  All  through  the  course  accuracy  is  demanded. 
For  what  shall  it  profit  a  stenogiapher  to  get  the  whole  dictation  down  and  not  be 
able  to  ti-anscribe  his  notes?  Tho  he  have  the  speed  of  men  and  of  angels  and  have 
not  legibility,   his  writing  is  vain   and   he   is   making  useless   symbols. 

For  students  who  wish  to  study  only  typewriting,  we  have  still  another  course 
provided.  They  may  take  this  couise,  which  consists  of  typewriting  and  office  training; 
starting  at  any  time  and  complete  it  when  they  are  able  to  pass  the  test  as  outlined 
above  for  the  other  courses. 

We  use  the  Gregg  system  of  stenography  because  it  is  easy  to  write  and  easy  to 
read,  there  being  no  position  writing  and  no  shading  in  this  system.  It  is  "the" 
system  as  proved  by  its  wide  adoption,  it  being  used  in  the  schools  of  more  than 
two  thousand  more  cities  than  all  other  systems  combined.  The  fact  that  schools 
all  over  the  country  are  changing  from  other  systems  to  the  Gregg  is  conclusive 
proof  of  its  reliability  and  superiority.  —STELLA  I.  CHURM.

YOUNG     MEN'S     CHRISTIAN     ASSOCIATION 

The  opening  of  the  school  year  1918-19  found  very  few  boys  enrolled  and  the 
future  prospect  for  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  was  very  poor  indeed.  The  president  had  died 
during  the  summer  and  the  vacancy  was  filled  by  the  vice-president.  There  were 
neither  a  secretary  nor  a  treasurer  and  things  were  not  at  all  promising. 

However,  on  October  eighth  the  Government  issued  orders  that  a  Students'  Army 
Training  Camp  be  established  at  the  Mansfield  State  Normal  School,  and  immediately 
scores  of  boys  flocked  to  the  school  and  enlisted  in  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  In  all  there  were 
two  hundied  fifty  men  in  the  school.     This  gave  the  Y.  M.  a  great  opportunity. 

We  fully  organized  and  the  vacancies  were  filled  by  election.  Elmer  Vosburg  was 
elected  second-vice-president  and  Harry  Tyler  and  Harold  Brooks  were  elected  secretary 
and  treasurer  respectively.  Room  E,  South  Hall,  was  opened  to  the  boys.  Writing 
desks,  chairs,  a  piano  and  games  were  put  at  their  disposal. 

The  beginning  of  the  winter  term  marked  the  beginning  of  a  new  era  in  the 
history  of  the  Y  organization.  We  had  with  us  Mr.  Herbert  A.  Smith,  a  representative 
of  the  National  War  Wo'.k  Council,  and  under  his  direction  as  general  secretary  we 
reached  out  into  the  Educational,  Social,  and  Physical,  as  well  as  Religious  life  of 
the  school. 

A  house  on  the  csmpus  had  generously  been  given  for  use  as  a  Y.  M.  C.  A.  It 
was  adapted  to  our  needs  and  contained  a  lounging  room,  reading  room,  offices  and 
etc.,  with  a  piano,  Victrola,  and  games  for  amusements. 

The  introduction  of  the  following  were  some  of  the  features  of  the  program: 
Publicity  bureau,  employment  bureau  and  athletic  committees.  The  Y.  M.  put  on 
movies  for  the  school  every  Saturday  night  and  stunt  nights  were  held  for  the  benefit 
of  the  student  body.  A  discussion  group  in  World  Democracy  was  formed  and  a 
public  forum  was  held  every  Sunday  afternoon.  The  Y.  M.  also  played  a  very  important 
part  in  the  World  Fellowship  Fund. 

The  spring  term  for  the  Y.  M.  was  very  successful  and  due  credit  must  be  given 
to  Mr.  Smith,  who  has  made  the  Y.  count  as  a  large  factor  for  the  boys  of  the  Normal, 
and  who  has  laid  the  foundation  for  great  Y.  M.  C.  A.  work  at  the  Normal  in  the 
years  to  come. 

Credit  must  also  be  given  to  Professor  Strait,  who  acted  as  faculty  adviser  and 
to  Professor  Grant  as  projectionist;  Dr.  Will  George  Butler  and  Odell  Chaffee,  pianist. 
Also  to  the  following  committee  men  who  have  worked  in  co-operation  with  Mr.  Smith 
to  make  the  Y.  M.  the  success  that  it  has  been:

YOUNG   WOMAN'S    CHRISTIAN    ASSOCIATION 

The  Cabinet  members  are  as  follows: 
Faculty  Adviser — Miss  Farnham. 
President — Florence  Morgan. 
Vice-President — Harriet  Barton. 
Secretary — Helen  Rundell 
Treasurer — Helene  Evans. 
The  following  are  the  chairmen  of  committees:  Membership,  Emily  Willson;  Bible, 
Lois   Jones;    Missionary,   Emile   Schmidt;    Social    Service,    Norma    Frisbie;    Devotional, 
Harriet    Barton;    Financial,    Helene    Evans;     Social,    Frances    Twaddle;     Music,    Ruth 
Hughes;  Room,  Grace  Meine;  Publicity,  Alma  Decker. 

Mansfield  State  Normal  School  was  made  a  member  of  the  State  Association  of 
Pennsylvania,  belonging  to  the  International  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  on  October  27,  1888;  and  in 
November,  1906  we  became  charter  members  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  of  the  United  States 
of  America.  Our  present  membership  is  150,  65  new  members  being  enrolled  Fall 
Term  1918. 

At  the  beginning  of  every  school  year  the  candle-light  initiation  service  is  held. 
The  regular  meetings  are  held  every  Thursday  evening  after  supper,  and  the  spacious 
and  comfortable  rooms  are  well-filled.  Many  interesting  social  events  are  held,  several 
"get-acquainted"  affairs  at  which  everyone  has  a  most  enjoyable  time.  The  Y.  W. 
rooms  are  always  open  to  the  girls,  and  especially  on  Friday  and  Saturday  evenings,  do 
we  take  advantage  of  this  privilege. 

This  year,  for  the  first  time,  the  Sunday  night  "sings"  were  held,  lasting  usually 
about  an  hour,  during  which  we  sang  favorite  songs  and  a  member  of  the  faculty  read 
an  interesting  story. 

On  the  first  and  last  Thursdays  of  each  term  it  is  customary  for  the  Y.  W.  and 
Y.  M.  to  hold  a  joint  meeting  in  first  floor  corridor.  On  these  occasions  a  special  pro- 
gram is  given,  consisting  of  an  address  by  the  president  of  each  society  and  special 
music. 

During  the  week  of  prayer,  November  10 — 17,  a  week  of  prayer  was  observed  by 
every  Y.  W.  member  in  the  schools  and  colleges  of  the  U.  S.  A.,  meetings  were  held 
every  evening,  special  stress  being  laid  on  the  work  of  the  United  War  Fund  Campaign, 
to  which  the  girls  voluntarily  subscribed  $350  or  more.  It  was  during  this  week  that 
the  armistice  was  signed,  making  ours  the  greatest  victory  since  time  began. 

What  part  did  woman  have  in  it?  The  liberating  and  strengthening  influences  of 
modern  civilization  have  left  their  deposit  in  the  character  of  the  women  of  the  allied 
nations.  In  their  hearts  and  minds  are  the  permanent  results  of  Christian  civilization. 
It  is  because  American  women  are  free  that  they  have  sent  forth  such  magnificent 
legions  to  war-torn  Europe,  and  have  in  every  way  thrown  their  spiritual  enthusiasm 
behind  the  men  who  sailed  forth  to  die  for  American  ideals. 

We  all  know  the  part  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  has  played  in  guiding  the  lives  of  young  girls 
and  women,  and  we  sincerely  hope  that  every  year  may  find  the  Association  nearer  and 
nearer  its  goal,  for  "the  righteous  Lord  loveth  righteousness;  his  countenance  doth  be- 
hold the  upright."

THE  ATHENAEAN  LITERARY  SOCIETY 

The  real  value  of  a  literary  society  depends  upon  the  interest  and  loyal  support  of 
all  its  members,  and  their  ability  to  cooperate  for  its  common  good. 

The  Athenaean  Society  after  an  unusually  successful  year,  may  feel  justly  proud 
of  the  high  standards  that  such  conditions  have  made  possible.  From  the  very  first,  the 
year's  work  has  been  characterized  by  originality,  and  special  attention  has  been  given 
to  short  dramas  and  variation  created  by  unusual  musical  numbers. 

Many  new  members  have  come  to  fill  the  places  left  vacant  at  the  departure  of  the 
class  of  1918,  and  the  roll  includes  the  names  of  numerous  faithful  workers. 

But  the  work  this  year  has  not  consisted  merely  in  conducting  meetings  and  pre- 
senting interesting  programs.  The  society,  realizing  the  great  need  for  funds  in  the 
reconstruction  work  of  the  nations,  contributed  to  the  "Y.  M.  C.  A."  cause  and  pledged 
a  sum  to  the  support  of  a  French  war  orphan. 

The  year  of  1919  maiks  the  h?,lf  century  point  in  the  history  of  the  Athenaean 
Society.  Fifty  yeais  of  persevering  effort  have  changed  it  from  a  circle  of  twelve  mem- 
bers to  one  of  the  largest  societies  in  the  school.  Proud  are  we  who  call  ourselves 
Athenaeans,  and  we  look  to  the  Athenaeans  of  the  future  to  cherish  and  uphold  the  name 
and  ideals  of  the  society  which  has  meant  so  much  to  us.

THE  EMERSONIAN  LITERARY  SOCIETY 

It  is  familiar  history  to  all  Mansfield  people  that,  when  the  fraternities  were 
abolished  in  1914,  the  Emersonian  society  was  established.  How  fiimly  foundations 
were  then  laid  has  never  been  proven  more  enthusiastically  than  this  year.  Though  last 
year  brought  forth  more  members  wearing  her  Brown  and  Gold  colors  than  any  other 
society  could  boast,  this  year  her  record  is  even  brighter.  She  fully  realized  that  an  in- 
fluential society  should  do  more  than  succeccfully  render  instructive  and  entertaining 
progiams,  important  as  these  aie  in  their  own  sphere,  she  therefore  chose  as  her  task 
the  big  work  of  the  world  at  that  time,  the  furtherance  of  the  war  relief.  An  especial 
oppoitunity  presented  itself  in  the  form  of  the  United  War  Fund  Campaign.  This  was 
quickly  seized  upon,  a_,d  her  record  stands  as  having  pledged  and  paid  the  largest 
amount  of  any  society  of  the  school. 

It  would  be  unfair  not  to  mention  the  excellent  work  done  by  the  President  and  the 
various  committees  at  the  beginning  of  the  Fall  Term.  The  competition  with  the  other 
societies  for  new  members  was  very  keen;  and  it  was  largely  due  to  the  character- 
istically enterprising  spirit  of  the  Emersonian  leaders,  that  the  society  holds  the 
prominent  place  that  it  does  to-day. 

Evidence  of  the  value  of  the  programs  given  during  the  year  is  to  be  found  in  the 
appreciative  audiences  2nd  the  favourable  reports  of  the  faculty  critics.  Readings, 
musical  numbers,  pantomimes,  one-act  plays,  debates  and  various  other  numbers  have 
appeared  in  pleasing  combinations.  The  prog:  am  committees  always  keeping  in  mind 
the  high  standard  of  literary  efficiency,  typical  of  Emersonian  meetings. 

It  has  been  a  year  of  great  endeavor  and  a  year  of  high  accomplishment.  As  we 
look  back  on  the  foimer  successful  yea?  s,  we  are  glad  that  we  too  have  done  our  share 
to  maintain  the  leade:  ship  of  our  society.  We  have  worked  in  that  spirit  so  well  por- 
trayed in  a  quotation  from  last  year's  Carontawan,  "The  lily  typifies  for  the  Emer- 
sonians  all  that  they  stand  for — their  emblem  of  purity,  their  love  of  all  things  sweet  and 
noble,  their  determination  to  succeed,  their  deep  reverence  for  their  Alma  Mater,  and 
their  unfailing  loyalty  to  the  banner  of  the  Gold  and  Brown".

THE  ALTA  PETENS  LITERARY  SOCIETY 

The  year  after  fraternities  were  abolished  and  societies  came  into  existence,  the 
Alta  Petens  Literal y  Society  was  organized.  We  chose  for  our  colors  "Old  Rose  and 
Grey".  The  members  were  few  at  first  but  by  the  beginning  of  Winter  Term  the 
society  was  on  the  road  to  success. 

Every  year  the  Senior  Class  takes  a  great  many  of  our  members  but  even  that  does 
not  keep  us  from  having  a  society,  for  every  year  we  all  work  hard  to  have  as  many  as 
possible  wear  our  colors. 

In  1916  the  members  of  the  society  presented  "A  Pair  of  Sixes".  This  was  an  un- 
usually good  play  and  showed  interest  of  all  that  took  part. 

In  March  1918  the  Alta  Petens  and  Philometheans  pi  oduced  the  play  "The  Man  on 
the  Box".  Each  member  of  the  cast  worked  hard  and  glory  came  through  their  earnest 
endeavors. 

In  the  Fall  of  this  year  the  Alta  Petens  and  Philomethean  Societies  united  under 
the  nrme  Alta  Petens,  the  Alta  Petens  being  the  ones  who  elected  officers  last  Spring 
Term  for  the  coming  year. 

Alta  Petens!  Just  what  is  the  meaning?  Alta — high  things — Petens — seeking 
Theiefore  the  name  seeking  high  things.  From  the  beginning  the  society  has  sought  to 
live  up  to  this  standard. 

We  have  a  two-fold  purpose — to  be  efficient  in  a  literary  sense  and  to  cultivate  a 
healthy  social  atmosphere.    These  have  meant  much  to  us  during  all  these  years. 

We  are  closing  a  happy  year,  quiet  but  increasing  through  hard  work  and  loyalty. 
We  know  and  regret  that  at  the  close  of  the  school  year,  many  of  our  members  will 
leave  u"  lut  we  are  sure  their  hearts  will  be  ever  turning  to  the  hall  where  dwell  the 
Alta  Petens.

THE  STUDENT  GOVERNMENT  ASSOCIATION 

One  remarkable  evening  in  November  1918  Miss  Doane  called  a  meeting  of  the 
girls  in  the  Library.  The  purpose  of  this  unexpected  meeting  was  unknown  to  all  and 
there  was  much  short  lived  curiosity  concerning  it.  We  assembled  quickly  and  Miss 
Doane  explained  the  object  of  the  meeting,  namely,  to  propose  the  adoption  of  Student 
Government  which  would  make  up  a  more  or  less  self-governing  body,  not  dependent 
upon  our  teachers.  Many  of  the  teachers  told  of  their  past  experiences  with  Student 
Government  and  expressed  the  belief  that  it  could  readily  be  worked  out  to  advantage 
in  Mansfield. 

We  were  given  a  certain  number  of  days  to  consider  and  discuss  the  proposition. 
Finally  a  vote  being  taken,  it  was  found  that  a  majority  were  in  favor  of  the  adoption. 
This  was  the  beginning.  Very  soon  meetings  were  held  on  each  floor  for  the  purpose 
of  electing  the  Student  Government  Council,  which  was  to  be  the  governing  force.  Three 
Seniors  were  chosen  from  each  floor  to  act  in  their  official  capacity  on  their  respective 
floors.  Two  Junior  Representatives  were  elected  from  the  Junior  Class  and  the 
President  was  elected  from  the  Senior  Class. 

The  Student  Council  for  the  Winter  Term  was  composed  of  the  following  persons: 

PRESIDENT— Blanche  Straughn. 

SECOND  FLOOR— Myra  Jameson,  Grace  James,  Helen  Thomas. 

THIRD  FLOOR— Ruby  Hughes,  Harriet  Barton,  Marion  Stevens. 

FOURTH  FLOOR— Leora  Dimon,  Hilda  Leber,  Alice  Courtwright. 

FIFTH  FLOOR— Lydia  Schwenk,  Marian  Clarke,  Gladys  Pettet. 

JUNIOR  REPRESENTATIVES— Ethel  Jones,  Anne  Hastings. 

After  repeated  trials  and  no  little  anxiety  and  careful  thought  and  consideration, 
the  Council  succeeded  in  drawing  up  a  creditable  Constitution  which  was  approved  by 
the  school  authorities  and  ratified  by  the  student  body. 

The  management  of  the  Dormitory  pioved  so  satisfactory  during  the  Winter  Term 
that  we  could  not  well  dispense  with  it  now. 

The  following  Proctors  compose  the  Student  Council  for  Spring  Term: 

SECOND  FLOOR— Leda  Ludlom,  Lucille  Seymour,  Catherine  Baxter. 

THIRD  FLOOR— Emelie  Schmidt,  Helen  McMillan,  Norma  Frisbie. 

FOURTH  FLOOR— Margaret  Keefe,  Mary  Walsh,  Helene  Evans. 

FIFTH  FLOOR— Mary    Gavin,  Rose  Kelley,  Mary  Thomas. 

JUNIOR  REPRESENTATIVES— Ethel  Jones,  Marian  Taylor. 

So  successful  has  been  the  experiment  that  we  are  certain  it  will  become  a  per- 
manent organization  of  the  school,  improving  year  by  year,  in  system  and  effect.

FOOTBALL 


THE    GAMES 

On  September  10,  1919,  the  opening- 
school  day,  it  was  doubtful  as  to  the  re- 
ality of  a  football  team  at  M.  S.  N.  S.,  as 
the  majority  of  our  coming  "stars"  were 
called  to  rush  the  Hun  instead  of  the 
"line".  Later  in  the  season  the  student's 
hopes  were  renewed,  for  on  Oct.  8,  the 
S.  A.  T.  C.  unit  was  organized  which  en- 
livened the  whole  school.  Shortly  after 
this  there  came  from  Professor  Grant,  a 
call  for  candidates  and  about  thirty  five 
men  appeared  for  practice. 

It  was  not  long,  thanks  to  Professor 
Giant  and  Captain  Sayre,  that  an  organ- 
ization was  affected  which  despite  the 
setbacks  and  late  start,  made  the  team 
one  which  really  upheld  the  proud  rep- 
utation of  former  teams  representing  the 
institution  and  besides  brought  out  a 
supply  of  material  that  will  make  a  good 
nucleus  for  the  coming  season. 

Mansfield  20  vs.   Union  Endicott  6 

In  the  latter  part  of  October  we  met 
and  defeated  one  of  our  old  rivals,  Union- 
Endicott.  by  the  score  of  20—6.  This 
was  the  first  game  of  the  season  and  the 
team  was  very  much  encouraged  as  a 
recult  of  the  victory.  The  team  had  had 
practically  no  training,  which  of  course 
made  it  a  closely  played  game  and  this 
was  wholly  true  as  every  supporter  was 
held  in  suspense  as  to  the  ultimate  out- 
come. 

We  must  also  remember  a  few  of  the 
"stars"  in  this  game.  The  manner  in 
which  Foreman  and  Mattison  went  into 
the  game  and  tore  Endicott's  line  into 
bits  was  commendable.        Captain   Sayre 


and  Neary  played  vigorously  in  the  back- 
field  and  their  speed  and  headwork  will 
never  be  forgotten. 

Mansfield  13  vs.  Bellefonte  0 

The  unit  lads  added  another  victory  to 
their  list  when  they  took  the  Bellefonte 
aggregation  over  by  a  13 — 0  score. 

Prior  to  the  contest  it  seemed  from  all 
outward  appearances,  that  Mansfield 
would  face  a  formidable  foe  but  the  pluck 
and  vigor  of  the  individuals  and  unity  of 
play  were  instrumental  in  counteracting 
all  these  misleading  ideas  and  the  Mans- 
field supporters  were  jubilant  beyond  ex- 
pression over  the  unlooked-for  victory. 
Due  to  the  stellar  play  of  Dartt,  Turock 
and  Vosburg,  the  team  was  able  to  score 
twice  and  blank  their  opponents. 

Mansfield  0  vs.   Manlius  26 

It  was  on  a  cold  evening  that  the 
M  S.  N.  S  team  journeyed  by  automo- 
bile to  Manlius.  The  outlook  was  some- 
what discouraging  to  the  boys  as  it  was 
doubtful  whether  they  would  reach  their 
destinat:'on  o-  not.  A  short  distance 
from  Elmira  the  chauffeurs  lost  their 
bearing  and  drove  six  miles  in  the 
wrong  direction.  However  they  finally 
arrived  in  Ithaca  at  11:45  P.  M.  An 
early  depaiture  in  the  morning  enabled 
them  to  reach  Manlius  at  about  noon, 
November  23. 

The  afternoon  of  the  game  found  the 
gridiron  in  a  wretched  condition,  covered 
with  a  thick  layer  of  mud  and  snow. 

The  game  was  quite  uneventful  except 
for  several  fumbles  made  by  both  teams. 
Mansfield  was  handicapped  as  several  of 
the  players  had  not  recovered  from  the 


1   29 


injuries  received  in  the  game  prior  to 
this  one.  "Punting"  was  frequent  and 
the  plays  consisted  chiefly  of  line 
plunges  due  to  the  condition  of  the  field. 
Until  the  last  half  the  team  seemed 
evenly  matched,  when  Manlius  scored  3 
touchdowns  and  with  the  one  previously 
made  in  the  first  half,  left  the  score 
standing  20 — 0 — in  favor  of  Manlius. 
Mansfield  37  vs.  Alfred  7 
The  greatest  game  of  the  season  was 
played  on  Thanksgiving  day  at  Smythe 
Park  when  Mansfield  S.  A.  T.  C.  de- 
feated Alfred  S.  A.  T.  C.  by  the  score  of 
37 — 7.  From  the  kickoff  it  seemed  as  if 
Alfred  would  have  an  easy  victory  for 
they  scored  the  first  touchdown  by  a 
series  of  line  bucks  and  end  runs.  Here 
Mansfield  found  herself  and  by  the  dash 
and  spirit  of  the  men  representing  the 
Normal  they  "came  back"  strong.  The 
work  of  every  man  was  commendable 
and  especially  that  of  Captain  Sayre, 
Foreman,  Neary  and  Vosburg.  An  ex- 
ceptional spirit  was  manifested  due  to 
Alfred  being  Mansfield's  old  rival.  The 
two  teams  had  not  met  for  several  years, 
and  when  Alfred  came  to  Mansfield,  it 
was  to  seek  revenge,  but  Mansfield 
maintained  her  proud  reputation  and 
hopes  to  continue  such. 

Alfred's  manliness  was  appreciated  as 
they  played  a  clean  game  and  bore  then- 
defeat  in  a  true  sportsman-like  manner. 

Much  credit  must  be  given  to  Captain 
Sayre  who  kept  the  team  in  a  high  spirit 
throughout  the  game.  The  M.  S.  N.  S. 
interference  due  to  Captain  Sayre's  man- 
agement was  wonderfully  performed, 
while  he  himself  made  some  very  clever 
"end  runs". 


Goodbye,  dear  old  Mansfield  town, 

Farewell  to  you,  we  say; 
Our  heart  belongs  to  you,  old  burg, 

No  matter  where  we  stray; 
That  we  will  think  of  you.  South  Hall, 

There's  not  the  slightest  doubt; 
For  when  we  leave  you,  S.  N.  S. 

We'll  be  your  latest  out. 

—By    the    trio,    Miller,    Richards, 
Campbell. 


A  Senior  to  Faculty 

It   is   not    the   fear   of  death 

That  damps  my  brow; 
'Tis  not  for  one  more  breath 

I  ask  you  now; 
I'll  die  with  lip  unstirred 

And   quiet   heart — 
Let  but  this  prayer  be  heard 

'Ere   I    depart! 
I  can  give  up  dessert, 

My  best   "Djer   Kiss," 
Banana   splits   and  pie, — 

Can   die  like  this! 
I   can  give  up  the  South  Hallite 

I   burn   to   w:n; 
I  can  skip  church  without  a  fright, — 

And  say  Fve  been! 
I'll  give  up  all  I  cherish — 

Take  my  trunk — 
His  frat  pin — but,   I  plead. 

Don't  have  me  flunk! 

— Elaine   Manley. 


Cor.  on  Patrol:  Hello,  who  are  you? 

Little   Fellow:      Guess! 

C.  P.:  Come,  now,  let's  be  frank  and 
earnest. 

L  F.:  Alliight,  you  be  Frank  and  I'll 
be  Ernest.    Hello,  Frank. 

C.  P.:    Hello.  Ernest! 


One  of  the  Unit  boys,  first  time  on 
guard  duty,  surprised  a  late-comer  by 
challenging  him  with  the  phrase:  "Well, 
look  who's  here!"  in  place  of  the  cus- 
tomary "Halt,  who  goes  there!"  Our 
boys  are  surely  original. 


First  Student — My  mother  got  up  at 
dinner  and  started  to  go  out  with  the 
Unit   boys. 

Second  Ditto— Why  was  that? 

First  Student — Oh,  she  heard  the  top 
sergeant  say,  "Company  Rise,"  and  she 
was   company. 


Junior  (First  time  hash  was  served): 
Say,  how  do  they  make  hash,   anyway? 

Senior  (old-timer):  Oh,  they  don't 
make  it;  it  just  accumulates.

BASKETBALL 


THE    GAMES 

At  the  start  of  the  season,  Coach  Kieh- 
line  returned  from  army  life  to  Mans- 
field to  find  that  Bedenk  ,  just  out  of 
Uncle  Sam's  service  was  the  only  veteran 
from  the  preceding  year's  team.  But 
Bedenk's  presence  was  sufficient  to  give 
the  other  members  of  the  squad  confi- 
dence in  their  own  ability  and  the  clever 
coach  soon  welded  them  into  a  smooth- 
working,  hai  d-f ighting  machine. 

Bedenk  is  a  native  of  Mansfield  and 
captained  the  team  f  i  om  the  guard  posi- 
tion. 

Bailey,  the  other  guard,  also  a  sturdy 
youth,  played  a  good  game  throughout 
the  season.  He  handled  the  ball  cleverly 
and  his  passes  were  faultless. 

Seymour  at  center  is  another  Mans- 
field boy  and  at  no  time  in  the  history  of 
the  institution  has  a  more  local  team 
represented  the  Normal  than  this  year. 
Seymour's  eyes  are  keen  and  he  never 
failed  to  secure  at  least  three  doub'.e- 
deckers  in  every  game. 

At  the  forward  positions  were  Schultz 
and  Withka.  The  former  is  from  Bloss- 
burg,  a  town  ten  miles  distant  from 
Mansfield.  Schultz  was  practically  new 
to  basketball  at  the  start  of  the  season 
but  he  had  a  natural  instinct  for  the 
game  and  soon  developed  into  a  first 
class  player. 

Withka,  who  is  only  sixteen  years  of 
age,  was  the  smallest  man  on  the  team, 
but  what  he  lacked  in  size,  he  more  than 
made  up  for  in  aggressiveness.  He  is 
graceful,  cool  and  daring  besides  being 
a  remarkably  accurate  goal-shooter. 

Sayre,  a  substitute,  figured  in  every 
game  and  in  the  last  game  against  West- 
field,   showed   exceptional  form.     In   an- 


other year  Sayre  will  be  one  of  the  best 
guards  the  school  has  ever  had  and  if  the 
three  other  Juniors  return  for  the  next 
season,  Mansfield  Normal  will  be  a  lead- 
ing contender  for  the  State  championship 
of  its  class. 

Mansfield   37— Weslfield   22 

The  first  game  of  the  season  was 
played  Jan.  31,  with  the  Westfield  Gym 
Team.  This  fast  "five"  is  a  team  of  es- 
pecial merit,  considering  every  player, 
and  had  a  wide  reputation  in  this  section, 
as  being  one  of  the  best  organized  out- 
fits of  basketball.  The  week  preceding 
the  game  was  a  gloomy  one,  as  the  M.  S. 
N.  S.  supporters  had  heard  of  the  West- 
field  stars  and  the  idea  seemed  prevalent 
that  we  would  be  defeated  at  the  very 
start  of  the  season.  However  we  still 
had  confidence  in  our  sturdy  athletes  and 
as  a  result  of  efforts  the  Westfield  Gym 
Team  was  borne  down  to  defeat. 

Mansfield  55 — Alfred  12 

The  second  game  of  the  season  was 
played  in  the  "gym"  February  15.  It 
was  a  somewhat  one-sided  game,  the 
Alfred  team  not  being  able  to  compete 
with  our  fast  quintet  with  their  system- 
ized  skill.  Alfred  was  outplayed  and 
outclassed,  but  they  fought  hard  and 
kept  their  courage  to  the  finish.  Due 
credit  must  be  given  each  team  for  clean 
playing  and  good  form  in  passing.  On 
our  team  no  particular  stars  can  be 
mentioned  as  each  and  every  player 
rendered  good  work  for  the  past  and  fu- 
ture reputation  of  the  M.  S.  N.  S.  athletics. 
This  was  the  first  basketball  game  ever 
played  with  Alfred  for  the  reason  that 
we  have  excelled  them  in  the  past  years, 
and  we  hope  to  to  continue  in  the  future.

.Mansfield  30 — Syracuse  17 

February  22,  1919,  a  team  came  there 
that  we  all  recognized  as  the  Syracuse 
Fresh,  but  from  all  appearance  and  man- 
ner of  playing  we  decided  they  were 
more  than  that.  To  be  exact,  one  or  two 
had  played  on  the  Syracuse  Varsity. 
However,  that  did  not  discourage  us  or 
alter  our  well  arranged  plans  to  give 
them  a  first  class  "trimming".  This 
being  the  fourth  game  of  the  season  the 
Mansfield  players  had  taken  the  famous 
M.  S.  N.  S.  stride  and  proved  themselves 
superior  to  their  opponents  in  three 
games,  victorious  by  ten  points  or  moe 
As  usual  our  boys  did  exceptionally  fine 
passing  and  maintained  their  keen  out- 
look for  baskets  to  the  finish.  So  Syra- 
cuse was  also  sent  away  with  Mansfield's 
stamp  of  defeat  upon  them. 

Bellefonte  36— Mansfield    28 

Our  first  game  away  from  home  was 
the  first  defeat  in  two  years.  However, 
the  team  did  not  lose  to  a  superior  team, 
as  we  lead  the  scoring  throughout  the 
entire  game  and  until  the  last  five  min- 
utes, when  fortune  alone  came  to  Belle- 
fonte, looping  six  very  exceptional  shots. 
As  a  result  Mansfield  dropped  this  lone 
game  in  two  years.  The  fact  that  Mans- 
field deserved  to  win  was  voiced  by 
Bellefonte's  own  men  in  their  trip  here 
when  we  turned  an  overwhelming  defeat 
upon  them.  Every  man  played  excep- 
tional ball  and  no  individual  honors  could 
be  granted  from  a  spectator's  point  of 
view. 

Mansfield  47— Bellefonte  16 

A  come-back  on  Bellefonte  was  plan- 
ned for  March  15,  and  well  did  the 
Mansfield  team  execute  their  plans  when 
Bellefonte,  the  heretofore  victorious 
team,  came  to  Mansfield.  Mansfield  took 
the  lead  at  the  start  and  kept  it  to  the 
finish.     Our  team  was  not  hard  pressed 


to  fight,  but  quite  on  the  contrary,  walked 
away  with  them,  scoring  three  times  to 
their  once.  However,  it  had  been  evident 
to  Bellefonte,  even  when  our  team  played 
there,  that  we  were  their  superiors  in 
every  respect.  The  good  luck  and  for- 
tune, which  surrounds  them  at  home  was 
not  brought  here  and,  therefore,  they  left 
with  sore  defeat. 

Mansfield  52— Westfield  29 

When  Mansfield  went  to  Westfield, 
Westfield  supporters  were  enthusiastic 
for  a  victory  for  their  gym  team  and  well 
had  they  the  right  when  that  very  team 
he'd  our  own  to  a  twelve  point  margin  in 
the  first  game  of  the  season.  But  that 
was  the  first  game  of  the  season  and  this 
was  to  be  the  last,  so  the  dash  and  spirit 
of  the  Varsity  surely  outshone  anything 
Westfield  could  offer  and  we  had  things 
our  own  way  throughout  the  game.  Great 
spirit  was  manifest  in  Westfield  as  the 
largest  crowd  that  was  ever  assembled  in 
that  gymnasium  was  on  hand  to  see  the 
contest  and  about  two  hundred  were 
turned  away.  Over  a  thousand  persons 
witnessed  the  game  and  were  surprised 
to  see  the  way  Mansfield  put  an  end  to 
their  season. 

Mansfie'.d  34 — Jersey  Shore  22 

Jersey  Shore's  basketball  team  came  to 
Mansfield  with  a  high  spirit  and  in  fact 
it  did  seem  quite  possible  for  them  to 
win.  As  heretofore,  they  proved  them- 
selves to  be  a  good  early  season  team, 
and  they  passed  well,  making  it  impera- 
tive for  our  team  to  exert  themselves. 
On  the  other  hand,  our  players  showed 
much  adroitness  and  had  improved  won- 
dei  fully  since  the  first  game.  The  stu- 
dents wel1  supported  the  team  through- 
out the  game  by  hearty  cheers  and  sing- 
ing of  songs.  This  i»ith  the  sensational 
goals  by  Withka  and  Bailey  made  it 
possible  for  them  to  take  from  Jersey 
Shore,  an  easy  victory.

Coach  Kichline  and  His  Pennant  Winners 


UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA  25th  RELAY  CARNIVAL. 


Coach  Kichline  took  four  of  his  fast  men,  Warren  Miller,  Elmer  Vosburg,  Forrest 
Richards  and  Alfred  Sayre,  to  Philadelphia,  Saturday,  April  26th,  and  sent  them  in  the 
relay  race  for  the  championship  of  the  Normal  Schools  of  America.  As  only  two  Nor- 
mal Schools  were  represented,  they  were  put  in  the  class  with  the  small  Colleges. 

West  Chester  had  won  this  event  two  years  before,  and  they  expected  to  take  the 
honors  this  year.  Coach  Kichline,  however,  defeated  their  hopes,  and  they  had  to  be 
content  to  take  second  place.  The  men  ran  in  order  mentioned  above,  Miller  starting. 
He  had  such  an  advantage  that  he  gave  us  a  lead  from  the  start.  Vosburg  ran  second, 
also  doing  fine  work  by  gaining  several  yards.  Richards  took  the  place  of  Vosburg  and 
ran  a  splendid  race.  Sayre  being  our  last  man,  gained  several  more  yards  and  finished 
with  about  40  yards  mai-gin. 

Time  made  was  3:45  1-5 

This  Relay  Carnival  was  participated  in  by  Colleges  and  Universities  from  all  over 
the  United  States,  and  the  winning  of  this  event,  while  being  a  great  honor  to  the  Mans- 
field State  Noimal  School,  reflects  great  credit  upon  the  Coach  and  individual  members 
of  the  track  team.

MANSFIELD  S.  A.  T.  C. 


Our  Beys  from  Other  Camps 


Along  the  line  which  separates  Penn- 
rylvania  from  the  State  of  New  York, 
lies  Tioga  County;  theie,  upon  a  lofty 
hill,  surrounded  by  beautiful  scenery, 
stands  the  Maisfield  State  Normal 
School.  The  history  of  this  institution 
dates  back  to  the  year  1854,  when  it  was 
called  the  Mansfield  Classical  Seminary. 
In  1862  it  attained  its  present  status  of 
State  Normal  School  of  the  Fifth 
District.  By  this  date,  many  sons  of  the 
s"hool  weie  engsged  in  the  great 
struggle  to  keep  our  nation  indivisible. 
Thereto)  e  it  seemed  that  we  were  keep- 
ing trust  with  the  past  as  well  as  with 
the  present,  when,  in  thy  recent  world- 
conflict,  our  sehooi  not  only  was  repre- 
sented by  her  men  at  the  front  and  in 
army  camps  in  this  country,  but  was  per- 
mitted to  take  a  more  active  part  in  the 
war  by  her  transformation  into  a  train- 
ing camp  with  men-students  enrolled  as 
military  units. 

We  were  inducted  into  the  service  on 
October  1,  1918,  after  undergoing  rigid 
physical  examination,  and  with  educa- 
tional   qualifications   amounting   to   thir- 


teen or  more  certified  units  of  high 
school  work,  which  units  had  been  pre- 
sented for  the  approval  of  our  principal, 
Dr.  Straughn.  At  the  time  of  our  in- 
duction, it  was  impressed  upon  us  by 
Lieutenant  Wilson  that  we  were  now 
soldiers  of  the  United  States  Army  and 
that  we  should  act  accordingly.  We  soon 
became  accustomed  to  military  discipline 
and  felt  that  we  were  indeed  an  integral 
part  of  the  great  war. 

One  of  the  first  duties  was  digging 
potatoes  on  the  school  farm.  We  were 
transported  to  and  from  the  farm  by 
dint  of  our  own  good  limbs.  Next  we 
removed  the  furniture,  pictures,  and  pen- 
nants from  the  boys'  dormitory,  South 
Hall,  our  "barrack".  It  was  no  easy  task 
to  carry  a  dresser  or  a  bed  over  to  North 
Hall,  especially  to  one  accustomed  to 
carry  nothing  but  himself  and  a  chem- 
istry text-book.  Owing  to  a  misship- 
me'it.  the  mattresses  for  the  cots  did  not 
arrive  on  schedule  and  some  of  the  boys 
had  to  sleep  on  the  springs.  One  of  the 
witty  fourth-floor  privates  declared  that 
he  had  often  slept  out  in  the  rain  but 
never  before  had  he  slept  in  a  spring;  we 
sincerely  hope  that  he  didn't  get  a  "crick" 
in  his  back  as  a  result  of  the  experiment! 
Our  next  important  duty  was  the  well- 
known  K.  P.  formation  under  the  super- 
vision of  Sergeant  Bernkopf,  the  man  of 
the  hour,  especially  mess-hour.  Our 
duties  were  most  pleasant  ones,  consist- 
ing of  learning  to  peel  onions,  stir  gravyT, 
cut  meat,  mop  floors,  wait  on  table,  and 
wash  dishes. 

Next  came  guard  duty  with  its 
question:  "All  right  by  you?"  and  with 
the  special  orders.  All  men  assigned  to 
guard  duty  reported  to  the  Guard  House 
at  five  P.  M.  for  their  post  assignments; 
there    the   happenings    of   the    day    were

discussed,  and  also  the  North  Hallites. 
There  were  heard  such  remarks  as: 
"Aside  from  my  girl  she's  the  best  looking 
girl  in  the  school",  and  "She's  wild  about 
me!"  This  place  was  also  noted  for  the 
consignment  of  those  who  had  committed 
sins  of  omission  or  commission.  Some  of 
the  "nutty"  privates  forgot  that  certain 
kinds  of  shells  are  also  used  for  gas 
masks  and  soon  found  themselves  within 
that  four-walled  enclosure,  by  Hickory! 

Each  afternoon  we  sDent  two  hours  on 
the  parade  ground,  Smythe  Park,  drilling 
under  the  direction  of  Lieutenant  Wil- 
son Here  many  humorous  blunders  were 
made  by  the  rookie  sergeants  in  inter- 
P'eting  the  commands  of  Lieutenant  Wil- 
son, which  would  bring  forth  the  remark, 
"You  cawn't  do  it,  that's  all,  you  cawn't 
do  it."  The  drilling  was  not  entirely  con- 
fined to  the  parade  ground,  as  we  had  our 
share  of  hikes  to  Lamb's  Creek  and 
Canoe  Camp.  We  enlivened  these  marches 
by  outbursts  of  mirth  .  and  song,  and 
often  the  rustics  were  drawn  to  the  way- 
side at  hearing  our  voices  raised  in 
"Pack  up  your  troubles  in  your  old  kit 
bag".  "When  the  great  red  dawn  is 
shining",   and  "Mansfield   Hail". 

The  boys  learned  much  in  their  various 
classes;  but  it  was  apparent  that  their 
favorite  subject  was  Psychology.  This 
was  due,  doubtless,  to  the  fact  that,  as 
one  of  the  corporals  stated,  it  was  used 
continuously  throughout  the  day.  Many 
of  the  boys,  upon  being  mustered  out, 
have  enrolled  in  the  regular  Normal 
course  and  will  continue  their  studies  at 
Mansfield. 

Self-reliance,  alertness,  and  obedience 
to  our  superiors  were  among  the  many 
valuable  lessons  we  learned  while  in  the 
service.  How  to  safeguard  health,  that 
essential  to  happiness,  was  impressed  on 
us  by  the  helpful  hints  on  Sanitation  and 
Hygiene  which  we  received  from  Dr. 
Sheldon.  Daily  exercises  also  were  of 
benefit  to  us. 

Our  commanding  officer,  Lieutenant 
Wilson,  was  a  man  of  integrity  and 
great  ability.  For  the  first  six  weeks,  he 
was    the    only    officer    in    charge,    and 


A  Couple  of  Bunkies 


drilled  approximately  two  hundred  men 
besides  supervising  the  business  of  the 
organization.  He  was  very  successful  in 
the  discharge  of  his  duties,  for  he  had  us 
under  military  discipline  immediately 
after  we  were  inducted.  All  of  the  men 
in  the  unit  spoke  of  him  in  the  very  high- 
est terms.  Our  others  oficers,  Lieuten- 
ant Clapp  and  Lieutenant  Jones,  who 
arrived  about  two  weeks  before  the  unit 
was  disbanded,  were,  of  course,  not  so 
well  known,  but  it  was  evident  that  they 
were  officers  of  character  and  pro- 
ficiency. 

At  the  canteen  everybody  was  talking 
and  nobody  was  listening.  No,  girls, 
they  did  not  gossip  about  North  Hall, 
but  about  K.  P.,  Squads  Right,  'n'every- 
thing  like  that.  We  certainly  did  enjoy 
ourselves  there,  our  principal  occupations 
being  to  read,  write  sensible  letters  to 
one  of  the  nicest  in  our  old  home  town, 
eat  candy,  and  occasionally  enjoy  a  litle 
"London  Life".  In  the  basement  there 
was  a  barber  shop,  consisting  of  two 
barber-chairs   with   an   equal   number  of

At  our  dances  the  girls  had  their  op- 
portunity of  making  a  fellow's  army  life 
pleasant.  They  utilized  this  opportunity 
in  a  most  agreeable  way  and  were  al- 
ways willing  to  dance  with  us  despite 
the  fact  that  they  might  get  one  of  their 
feet  caught  under  our  heavy  trench 
shoes,  or  "canal  boats",  as  they  were 
sometimes  called.  Our  favorite  dance 
music  was  "Smiles",  "Liza  Jane",  and 
"Follow  On"  played  by  Wynne's  Jazz 
Bands.  Our  masked  ball  on  Hallowe'en 
was  wonderful  in  the  enjoyment  it  af- 
forded and  in  the  variety  of  the  cos- 
tumes, which  ranged  all  the  way  from 
that  of  a  tin-peddler  to  that  of  a  bank- 
president.  Sergeant  Foreman  was  led 
to  wonder  why  the  boys  could  keep  step 
while  dancing  but  were  unable  to  do  so 
while  drilling. 

The  literary  societies  were  a  source  of 
enjoyment  and  profit  to  all,  and  the  Unit 
made  considerable  increase  in  their  mem- 
bership. The  tennis  courts  were  used  to 
a  great  extent,  and  many  players  were 
developed.  Interesting  games  were 
played,  which  held  the  onlookers  in  sus- 
pense as  to  who  were  the  best  players. 
Lieutenant  Wilson  and  Dr.  Sxraughn 
were  unanimously  voted  superior  to  any 


of  the  rest  of  us  when  it  came  to  wield- 
ing a  lacket. 

When  the  armistice  was  signed  on 
November  the  eleventh  there  was  great 
rejoicing.  Every  noise-making  device  in 
the  town  made  its  presence  unmistakable. 
We  all  seemed  to  think  that  noise-mak- 
ing was  the  best  method  of  expressing 
cur  joy.  Every  one  took  part  in  the 
parades  we  had.  Patriotic  songs  were 
sung  with  great  enthusiasm.  At  the 
conclusion  of  the  parades,  we  listened  to 
speeches  which  made  us  doubly  proud  of 
our  nation  and  the  men  who  had  sacri- 
ficed themselves  for  the  victory,  we  were 
then  celebrating.  The  speakers  dwelt 
upon  the  part  that  women  had  played  in 
bringing  about  the  glorious  outcome  of 
the  struggle,  and  upon  the  aid  given  by 
different    war    organizations. 

While  we  were  in  the  Unit  we  formed 
many  friendships  which  will  long  be  re- 
membered. Autograph  books  and  cam- 
eras were  in  evidence  during  the  closing 
days  of  the  Unit.  We  were  addressed  by 
Lieutenant  Wilson,  who  stated  that  he 
was  proud  of  the  spirit  shown  by  the 
men  while  in  the  Unit  and  wished  us 
success  upon  our  return  to  civil  life.  A 
group-picture  of  all  men  in  the  Unit  was 
taken  on  the  campus.  We  all  received 
honorable  discharge  and  bade  farewell  to 
our  army  life  in  the  Mansfield  S.  A.  T.  C. 


A  Mounted  Gun 

(The  only  gun  we  saw.) 


147 


1918  to  1919 

You  have  "come  to  the  end  of  your  M.  S.  Days" — 

At  last  you  "have  gained  the  rise" — 
And  you  stand  where  we  stood  one  year  ago — 

And  the  Mist  of  the  Future  lies 
In  a  rainbow  glory  about  your  feet. 

And  a  glory  before  your  eyes. 
Just  a  little  way  we  have  gone  before 

On  the  paths  your  feet  will  go — 
Just  a  little  more  of  the  world  we've  seen, 

Just  a  bit  more  wise  we  grow — 
Just  a  bit  more  love  we've  gained  for  the  days 

And  the  friends  we  used  to  know. 

Now  you  ask  for  a  message  from  '18's  class, 

And  it  comes  back  straight  and  true; 
Across  the  Atlantic  and  States  it  comes: 

"'Nineteen,  we  are  proud  of  you! 
We  lighted  a  torch  and  we  held  it  high, 

Till  the  day  of  our  parting  came, 
We  flung  it  to  you  and  today  it  burns 

With  the  old,  white,  loyal  flame. 
You  caught  up  the  torch,  and  '18's  class 

Is  proud  that  you've  'played  the  game'  ". 

So  this  is  the  message  we  send  to  you 

In   a   hurriedly   written   rhyme: 
Your  Senior  days  have  come  to  an  end 

In  a  fearful  and  wonderful  time; 
You've  need  of  the  world,  and  the  jangling  world 

Needs  your  spirits'  clear-voiced   chime — 
So  you  stand  at  the  end  of  your  M.  S.  Days 

With  your  record  fine  and  true, 
And  across  the  Atlantic  our  message  comes: 

"Nineteen,  we  are  proud  of  you!" 
From   France  and  the   States  and   Belgium, 

"Nineteen,  we  are  proud  of  you!"  — Elaine  Manley.

THE  POPULAR  SONG  AS    IT  SHOULD  BE 


THE    UNIT    SONG 

Laddies  in  khaki,  we're  wakened  by  you! 
The   Fi'itzies   would   run   could   they  hear   you   too. 
A  gun  for  each  shoe,  and  for  each  soldier  two, 
You  could  camouflage,  Laddies  in  khaki. 

THE  EERIE  ERIE 

Oh,  it's  not  the  wait  when  already  five  hours  late, 

And  the  springs  feel  old  and  older, 
Nor  the  close-packed  crust  of  cinders  and  of  dust, 

That  hides  your  smile,  and  makes  your  heart  grow  colder. 
And  it's  not  the  back  down  the  Lawrenceville  track 

That  makes  the  trail  a  trial — 
But  the  time  the  weary  grow  leary  of  the  Erie 

Is     the     last     long     mile. 

THE   GREAT   RED   YAWN 

'Ere  the  great  red  dawn  is  shining, 

'Ere  the  wish  to  sleep  is  o'er; 
Though  the  smell  of  fried-potatoes 

Wakes  our  hungerings  no  more; 
We  stampede  down  halls  and  stairways 

With  a  firm,  though  tardy  tread. 
Lest  we  be  shut  out  from   breakfast, — 

Apple-butter,   oatmeal,   and   bread. 

THE    BALLING    OUT 

You  be  waiting  for  me  by  the  Third  Floor  railing; 

We'll  be  at  Miss  Churm's  room  before  five  of  eight. 

Be  sure  our  cards  are  straight — 
We  want  to  hear  that  Jazz-trombone  a-wailing. 
Remember  what  we'll  get  there,  honey, — 

Ice  cream  and  punch  and  little  cakes  and  all! 
And,  dearie,  please  don't  get  the  blues 
If  I  step  all  over  your  shoes, 

Tomorrow  night  at  the  Normal  Formal  Ball. 

AND  SEE  WHAT  WE'VE  DONE  TO  "CHONG" 


You  call  us  each  day  from  our  play,  with  your  song. 
Gong,  at  seven   so  strong! 
We  leave  off  our  neckties,  for  time  flies, 
But  though  not  neat,  we  meet,  for  we  must  eat. 
Gong,  you  sometimes  go  wrong, 

And  then  like  the  tower-clock  you  surely  go  on  a  strike — 
Just  as  you  like 

You    ring   out   what   hours   belong 
To  classes,   study,  eating,  and   even   sleep, 
Old  Gong!

I  stood  upon  the  staircase 

And  gazed  far  down  the  hall; 
I  saw  a  bunch  of  greenstuff

MOTHER    GOOSE    AND    MOTHER    MANSFIELD 

Hark!  Hark! 

'Spite  many  a  lark, 
One  virtue  old  'Nineteen  doth  crown 

We   did   not  embroil 

All  the  school  in  the  toil 

Of  deciding  about  the  cap  and  gown. 

When  old  Mother  Goose  a  Friday  would  squander 

To  Third  Floor  Arcade  she'd  quietly  wander, 

The  broom  of  some  fair  young  housekeeper  to  try. 

Then  seated  upon  it,  she'd  call  from  the  sky : 

"One  Goose  gains  a  broomstick;  one  looses  a  broom! 

I  wish  you  good  luck  in  cleaning  your  room." 

A   Normalite  rubbered 

Into  the  cupboard, 
To  get,  for  her  breakfast,  a  bone. 

Then  said  Mr.  Brooks, 

The   baker  and   cooks, 
"You'll  have  one  to  pick  with  Miss  Doane." 

"Where  are  you  going,  my  pretty  maid, 

With  Journal  and  Ledger  and  checks  arrayed, 

And  papers  and  cash-books  piled  high  as  your  head?" 

"I'm  going  to  book-keeping,  sir",  she  said. 

"Will  you  not  drop  them,  my  pretty  maid?" 

"I've  learned  how  to  balance,  Sir,"  she  said. 

"Your  face  is  your  fortune,  my  pretty  maid." 

"It  was,  Fair  Sir;  but  to  learn  a  trade 

On  any  Account  will  credit  one's  head, 

And  increase  one's  Face-Value,  Sir,"  she  said. 

"Then,  pretty  maid,  why  can't  we  wed?" 

"It's  not  in  the  books,  Kind  Sir,"  she  said. 

Little  Miss  Bluff-it 
Through  halls  would  scuff  it, 

Enlivening  study  hour. 
She  slid  to  the  proctor, 
"Can't  help  it" — which  shocked  her — 

"My  footsteps  are  two  mule-power."

While  Prof.  Retan  was  County  Super- 
intendent, he  drove  up  to  a  certain  school 
during  recess,  and,  as  the  day  was  cold, 
started  to  throw  a  robe  over  the  radiator 
of  his  Ford,  when  a  youngster  called  to 
him:  "Why  do  you  do  that,  Professor,  we 
saw  what  it  was!"

he,  Esther? 

Esther:  Yes,  Ma'am. 

Teacher:  What  is  it  then? 

Esther:   I'm  not  blind.

A  lady  has  told  me,  and  in  her  own  house, 
That  she  cares  for  me  not  "three  skips 

of  a  louse." 
I  forgive  the  dear  creature  for  what  she 

has  said, 
Since   women   will  talk   of  what  runs   in 

their  head. 


First  Guy:  Did  you  see  that  girl 
smile  at  me? 

Second  Guy:  Come  off  with  that  stuff. 
When  I  first  saw  you  I  laughed  outright. 


DO  YOU  REMEMBER 

When  George  Squires  played  on  the 
midget  basket  ball  team  ? 

When  Harold  Seamans  wore  short 
trousers?

never! 

When  the  whole  school  was  social 
privileged? 

When  the  Unit  boys  received  their 
shoes  ? 

When  Harry  Brennan  didn't  like  to  ar- 
gue ?        I   don't.

The  following  question  was  asked  in 
Senior  Arithmetic: 

If  20  men  reaped  a  field  in  6  days,  how 
long  would  it  take  15  men  to  reap  the 
same  field? 

Jerry  Evans  answered  that  if  20  men 
leaped  the  field,  it  would  be  all  done  and 
there  wouldn't  be  any  work  for  the  15 
men  to  do — and  after  poor  Mary  Mora- 
han worked  it  all  out. 


Prof.  Wolfe  (Literature  class):  Was 
Emerson  respected  at  college? 

Gertrude  Brennan  (doubtfully) :  Yes,

After  Professor  Strait  had  given  out 
the  arithmetic  problems,  he  asked,  "Now

THE  UNIT'S  NEW  SHOES 

On  the  morning  the  Unit's  shoes  arrived  Dr.  Butler  suggested  the 
the  following  original  impromptu  versions  of  the  well-known  "Tramp, 
Tramp,  Tramp,  the  Boys  are  Marching:" 

Tramp,  tramp,  tramp,  the  boys  are  marching, 

Hear  their  gentle  footsteps  on  the  floor, 
But  at  last  the  Unit's  shod 
For   the   social   promenade, 

And  "the  dancing  class  will  meet  at  half-past  four!" 

Tramp,  tramp,  tramp,  the  boys  are  marching, 

Uniforms  are  coming,  O   enthuse! 
But  we  truly  hope  and  pray 
Every  night  and  every  day 

That  they  have  not  cut  them  out  to  match  the  shoes! 

Tramp,  tramp,  tramp,  the  boys  are  marching, 

These  new  "boats"  of  ours  will  take  the  cake! 
A  wise  guy  behind  the  scenes 
Says:  "The  German  submarines 

Have  been  boxed  and  sent  to   Mansfield  by  mistake!" 


THE   OLD   LUNCH   CAR 

Oh,  for  the  cash  that's  spent  beyond  recall, 

Squandered  so  blithely  at  the  Fair  last  Fall. 

Trixie  we  saw,  and  rode  upon  the  whip, 

Had  fortunes  told,  bought   "lemon   sour"  to  sip. 

But  that  is  over,  purses  all  refilled 

So  should  remain,  but  otherwise  was   willed. 

REFRAIN: 

Egg  and  toast  for  breakfast,  chocolate  pie  for  lunch. 
Hamburg  steak  is  tempting — we'll  give  you  this  hunch. 
Though  we've  eaten  elsewhere,  often  strayed  afar, 
Still  our  hunger  leads  us  back  to  the  car — 
To  the  old  lunch  car. 

On  any  day  we  cannot  pass  that  door; 
Music  allures,  the  bacon-smoke  still  more. 
Vosburg's  we  haunt  for  maple-nut  ice  cream; 
Welch's  serves  apple-pie  that  is  a  dream; 
At  Taylor's  chickens  roasted  to  a  T; 
But  the  lunch  car  for  breakfast  will  we  see.

In  the  bank.

Keep  your  temper,  no  one  else  wants  it.

ontawan  to  put  in  your  stunt-book."

A  tourist  travelling  through  an  arid 
region  remarked  to  a  farmer  who  was 
hoeing  potatoes:  "How  is  it  you're  able 
to  raise  such  nice  potatoes  in  such  a  dry 
country?"  "Well,  you  see,"  he  replied 
dryly,  "I  reckon  I  ain't  worked  on  a  farm 
all  my  life  for  nothin'.  I  could  raise 
taters  if  it  never  rained,  'cause  I  always 
plant  onions  near  them  and  they  are  so 
strong  they  make  the  eyes  of  the  taters 
water." 


Thanksgiving  dinner. 

Invited  Guest:  Do  we  sit  where  the 
place  cards  are?

A  student,  wishing  to  hear  how  late 
the  Erie  was,  leaned  out  of  the  window 
and  called  to  a  passing  trainman:  Have 
you  got  a  watch?    What  time  is  it?

Anthem  of  Student  Government 

(To  be  sung  to  tune  of  "America.)) 

Who  favored  Student  Gov.? 
'Tis  not  a  tale  of  love 

Whereof  I  chant. 
Gone  is  the  midnight  spread, 
Crawling   beneath   the   bed; 
The  csuse,  it  may  be  said, 

Is  that  we  can't. 

Gone  is  the  uke's  sweet  strain, 
It's  under  ball  and  chain, 

— How   sad    to   tell! 
You  can  not  laugh  or  talk, 
And  like  a  eat  must  walk, 
Have  chairs  but  cannot  rock 

Within  your  cell. 


You  go  into  the  hall; 
They're  lined  up  one  and  all 

Our   noble   "procs." 
If  this  is  democracy. 
Give  us  autocracy; 
Then    we'll    live   happily 

And  without  knocks.

MANSFIELD  TO  EACH  OF  US 

Dear  friend,  thou  leav'st  me  with  a  tear 

Shed  in  regret  that  years  so  sweet, 
So  full  of  work,  and  play,  and  love, 

That  two  fair  years  could  be  so  fleet. 
I  would  not  have  thee  glad  to  part, 

Nor  must  thou  bitterly  repine: 
But  lock  this  truth  within  thy  breast, — 

Thou  art  of  me,  and  I  am  thine. 
I  have  not  taught  thee  all  these  days 

That  thou  should'st  fearfully  depai't; 
My  strength,  my  courage,  and  my  faith 

Have  I  instilled  into  thy  heart, 
That  thou  erect  should  face  the  world, 

Accept  its  challenge,  fight,  and  win. 
Then  thou  shalt  find  thy  destiny, 

Here  endeth  not,  but  doth  begin. 

— C.  Urell.
