UR  task  is  completed.  For  two  years  we  have  struggled  and  climbed 
the  rugged  sides  of  the  mountain  and  now  we  have  reached  the 
summit  and  see  partly  what  fortune  has  in  store  for  us.     'Twas  indeed 

a  small  ''Gleam"  that  lured  us  on,  but  now  it  appears  as  a    great  sun  to   light  up 

the  future. 


(§ 


With  anxious  hearts,  we,  the  members  of  the  class  of  1916,  present  this 
book,  the  purpose  of  which  is  to  portray  something  of  our  struggles  and 
pleasures,  for  it  is  the  product  of  the  artistic  hands  of  some  ;  the  alert,  active 
minds  of  others,  and  the  interest  and  encouragement  of  our  friends,  along  with 
good  honest  work  on  part  of  the  staff. 

To  those  who  turn  to  this  book  that  they  may  have  their  memories  refreshed, 
we  hope  it  will  prove  to  be  a  source  of  joy  and  pleasure.  Of  those  who  read 
its  pages  with  the  eye  of  the  critk  we  beg  of  you  not  to  think  our  jokes  are  out 
of  bounds  or  our  literary  style  is  crude.     The  criticism  is  yours.     Proceed.

T  is  universally  the  custom  to  try  to  discover  in  the  face  of  the 
infant  traces  of  resemblance  to  one  or  both  parents 
This  is  an  unconscious  recognition  of  a  phase  of  a  great 
biological  truth.  Each  individual  inherits  from  genera- 
tions of  ancestors  all  the  physical  traits,  and  mental  and 
moral  peculiarities  which  constitute  his  distinct  personality.  Therefore, 
in  a  study  of  the  life  of  an  individual,  any  true  conception  must  take  into 
account  the  hereditary  factors  incident  to  parentage,  place  of  birth,  and 
opportunity  for  mental  and  spiritual  growth  which  so  potently  determine 
what  the  man  is.  In  treating  a  personage  of  such  pronounced  personality 
as  Professor  Herbert  Greenwald,  it  is  \itally  important  to  hold  these 
facts  of  universal  law  in  mind. 

Professor  Greenwald's  father,  Henry  (jriinwald,  is  a  nati\e  of 
Hesse-Darmstadt,  who  was  brought  ti_)  .America  by  his  widowed  mother 
when  but  fourteen  years  old.  After  two  years"  residence  in  .Kmerica  the 
mother  died,  and  Henry  was  compelled  to  shift  for  himself.  It  is  from 
such  sturdy  German  stock,  planted  in  .\merica  under  adversity,  that  the 
subject  of  this  sketch  has  drawn  his  parentage.  His  mother,  Etta  Griin- 
wald  (Etta  Hansen),  is  a  natixe  of  .\meri*ca,  but  of  Danish  parentage 
from  Schleswig. 

Herbert  Greenwald  was  born  in  Moorestown,  Xew  Jersey,  .\ugust 
14,  1881,  his  present  home.  His  education  began  in  the  common 
schools  of  that  town.  He  graduated  from  the  Moorestown  High  School 
in  1897.  Immediately  after  graduation  he  entered  the  Trenton  Normal 
School  to  prepare  himself  to  teach,  and  was  graduated  from  that  school 
in  1901.  I-'or  the  next  two  years  he  taught  in  ungraded  schools  in 
several  New  Jersey  counties.  During  this  time  he  devoted  his  spare  time 
and  vacation  periods  to  completmg  his  preparation  for  college.  He 
graduated  from  Rutgers'  College,  New  Brunswick,  New  Jersey,  in  1909. 
It  is  worthy  of  emphasis  that  Mr.  Greenwald  earned  his  way  through 
college  and  at  the  end  of  his  Freshman  year,  after  all  his  expenses  had 


CLASS     NINETEEN     SIXTEEN 


1>een  paid,  he  passed  into  the  Sophomore  class  without  conditions,  and 
had  l)een  al)le  to  save  some  of  his  eaniing^s  toward  his  second  year's  ex- 
penses. We  venture  to  say  that  this  is  an  example  of  thrift  not  fre- 
quently met  at  Rutger's  or  any  other  American  school.  In  college  Mr. 
Cjrcenwald  took  full  advantage  of  e\ery  form  of  oi>portunity.  He  won 
the  English  prize  for  the  best  essay  on  "  The  Life  of  Abraham  Lincoln," 
and  also  a  prize  in  Logic,  offered  for  the  most  scholarly  dissertation  on 
Kant's  "Critique  on  Pure  Reason."  Since  the  completion  of  his  colleg'e 
course  Professor  Greenwald  has  taught  science  and  mathematics  in  the 
High  School  at  Roselle  Park,  Xew  Jersey,  and  in  a  Xight  School  at 
Newark,  Xew  Jersey.  He  spent  one  year  in  residence  at  the  Graduate 
School  of  the  University  of  Pennsyh'ania  in  the  Department  of  Chem- 
istry. He  became  head  of  the  Department  of  Chemistry  at  the  West 
Chester  Xornial  School  in  the  Spring  term  of   iQi.v 

Professor  Greenwald  is  a  man  of  strong  physique,  a  hard  worker  and 
a  dilig'ent  scholar.  Whenever  his  duties  as  a  teacher  leave  any  time  for 
diversion,  he  may  be  found  at  his  desk  with  lexicon,  engaged  in  reading 
some  German  work  on  the  physical  side  of  chemistry,  which  he.  as  an  un- 
dergradute  at  Rutger's,  selected  as  a  field  for  iiis  life's  work:  or,  it  may 
be,  in  fretting  over  the  "innate  cussedness  of  inanimate  matter,"  when 
his  test-tubes  go  wrong. 

In  mind  and  temperament  he  is  essentiallv  mathematical  and  scien- 
tific. His  science  is  a  source  of  real  soul-satisfaction  to  him.  The  dirt 
and  drudge  of  the  laboratory  are  merely  incidental  to  the  great  aim — 
the  "acquisition  of  deeper  insight  into  the  more  secret  operations  of  na- 
ture. 

Prof.  Greenwald  is  a  man  of  virile,  aggressive  personality.  Con- 
troversy and  disputation  are  the  very  breath  of  life  to  him.  and  a  friendly 
argument  is  more  pleasant  than  his  after-dinner  cigar. 

As  a  teacher  he  is  conscientious  and  thorough.  Though  austere  of 
exterior,  he  has  a  warm,  true  heart  which  is  easilv  hurt.  In  his  class 
room  he  tries  never  to  lose  sight  of  the  goal  at  which  he  aims — the  turn- 
ing of  each  pupil  toward  true  scholarship  as  he  sees  it.  He  possesses  an 
interesting  method  of  presentation  as  well  as  an  interesting  personality, 
and  olrtains  a  good  response  from  all  who  are  scientifically  minded. 
Probably  unqualified  advocates  of  the  present-dav  tendency  in  education 
to  make  all  instruction  practical  first,  and  scientific  afterward,  will  style 
him  a  fogy  formalist.  He  has  very  scant  patience  with  this  type  of  view, 
and  denounces  many  of  the  more  recent  text-books  in  science  violently. 
He  believes  that  all  education  mu.st  have  its  foundation  in  clearlv  demon- 
strated and  thoroughly  understood  principles,  definitions  and  laws  as  its 
first  phase;  as  its  second  phase  there  is  the  application  of  these  to  human 
needs.

Prof.  Greenwald  is  a  member  of  the  American  Association  for  the 
Advancement  of  Science,  and  of  the  American  Chemical  Society,  the 
meetings  of  which  lie  attends  very  regularly- 

Of  pure  Teutonic  parentage,  Prof.  Greenwald  possesses  all  the  char- 
acteristics of  the  race  which,  for  a  hundred  years,  has  led  the  world's  ad- 
vance socially,  educationally  and  .scientifically.  All  who  come  into 
closest  relationship  and  contact  with  him  appreciate  him  as  a  man  of 
great  possibilities,  with  great,  full  heart,  strong  mind,  and  strong  de- 
termination to  win  in  life's  race  at  any  cost  of  hardship  or  sacrifice.  Our 
most  earnest  hope  is  that  success  may  crown  his  endeavo.'"s  in  every  line 
he  may  enter.

5Ilf^  spirit  of  ^timtt 


jl  LTHOUGH  all  human  endeavor  has  for  its  guiding  spirit,  aside 
from  that  of  self-preservation,  the  uplift  of  mankind,  the 
methods  differ  ratlically. 

.\rt,  by  means  of  pictures,  music,  sculpture,  or  beautifully 

proportioned  buildings,  tries  to  relieve  life  of  its  sordidness 

and  gross  materialism.     Literature  expresses  the  same  high  and  noble 

thoughts  in  words,  whereas  history,  by  holding  before  us  examples  of 

what  men  have  done,  inspires  us  to  emulate  them. 

It  is  science,  however,  that  has  made  the  products  of  our  artistic 
co-laborers  accessible  to  the  masses.  Note  the  decrease  in  the  cost  of 
travel  and  transpcjrtation.  Note  the  ach'ance  in  color  photography  and 
printing,  in  bookmaking,  in  talking  machines,  and  in  motion  pictures. 
These  are  the  agencies  that  acquaint  man  with  the  beautiful,  the  in- 
spiring. 

However,  j^efore  a  man  can  be  cii  rapport  with  art,  literature  and 
the  co-called  humanities,  he  must  be  in  the  proper  physical  and  mental  con- 
dition. There  have  always  been  a  few,  who,  either  through  ability  or  a 
combination  of  circumstances,  have  been  able  to  acquire  the  necessities 
of  life  with  comparatively  little  effort,  so  that  they  have  been  able  to 
spend  a  large  surplus  of  their  time  and  energy  putting  themselves  in 
such  physical  and  mental  condition  that  thev  could  respond  to  these  in- 
fluences. On  the  other  hand  the  masses  have  not  been  so  favorablv 
situated.  It  is  to  them  that  science  is  extending  a  helping  hand. 
It  puts  them  in  a  ]>osition  to  stand  spirituallv  on  the  same  level 
with  the  fa\ored  tenth  by  facilitatinig  the  acfjuisition  of  the  necessities 
of  life,  therein'  releasing  a  larger  surplus  of  their  time  and  energy  for 
the  acquisition  of  the  extra  mundane.  Of  course  science  cannot  guaran- 
tee that  this  suri)Ius  will  be  disposed  of,  so  as  to  realize  tlie  nljject. 
That  remains  for  the  individual  to  decide.  It  places  the  instrument  in 
his  hands.  He  can  use  it  for  good  or  for  ill.  However,  this  is  certain : 
without  the  instrument  no  good  can  be  accomiJlished. 

Scientists  have  been  criticised  for  their  materialism.  The\-  have 
been  called,  sometimes,  foes  of  the  spirit.  This  criticism  has  been  made, 
of  course,  by  those  outside  the  pale  of  science.  As  a  matter  of  fact, 
scientists     have    done     more    to    release    the    masses    from     the    do-

niiiiiun  of  the  niundanu  than  the  direct  advocates  ol  the  sijirit.  Besides 
freeing-  tliein  fr(jiii  the  atrophying  effects  of  routine  labor,  scientists  have 
made  the  punisliment  of  wickedness  and  vice  t|uicker  and  more  certain. 
Edison,  for  instance,  did  more  to  stop  crime  when  he  invented  his 
dynamo  and  incandescent  !am])  than  lialf  the  preachers  of  the  country  put 
together.  Not  that  we  think  less  of  the  preachers,  but  tliat  we  think 
more  of  Edison. 

But  scientists  ha\'e  done  more  than  nierelx*  inhiljit  evil:  they  have 
given  a  method  of  accomjilishing  a  result.  The  extensi\-e  application  of 
the  scientific  melliod,  which  in  essence  is  nothing  more  than  the  applica- 
tion of  mathematics,  is  so  patent  that  we  need  stop  no  longer  on  that 
subject.  Besides  they  have  set  an  example.  The  subordination  of  the  in- 
di\'idual  to  the  masses  without  su])pression  finds  its  most  numerous  ex- 
amples in  science  and  will  continue  to  do  so.  Unknown  the  scientist 
works  in  his  laboratory  performing  a  thousand  experiments  l)efore  he 
succeeds,  'fhe  public  know  nothing  of  the  days,  the  weeks,  the  years, — 
it  took  von  Baeyer  15  years  to  synthesize  indigo — when  "unmerciful  dis- 
aster followed  faster,  followed  faster."  'fhey  know,  if  at  all,  only  of  suc- 
cesses. The  .scientist  has  not  the  commendation  nor  the  condemnation  of 
the  many  to  encourage  him.  An  unshaken  faith  in  his  methods,  in  his 
ideals,  in  that  Power,  whose  manifestation  he  in\-estigates.  alone  holds 
him  to  his  task. 

Finally,  and  most  important,  the  student  of  science  is  reared  in  an 
atmosphere  of  orderliness  and  theism.  Chance  and  atheism  find  no 
jilace  here.  Given  certain  antecedents  and  conditions,  definite  conclusions 
must  follow.  This  ])rinciple  holds  for  the  microcosmos  as  well  as  for  the 
macrocosmos.  ^Moreover  it  does  not  ]3revent  the  exercise  of  prayer  and 
imagination :  it  simplv  makes  both  more  onlerh'.  Do  they  lose  any  of 
their  1)eauty  or  effecti\'eness  thereb}' ?  Are  they  not  really  enhanced? 
Are  not  the  beautiful  and  the  effective,  in  their  final  analysis,  essentially 
orderliness  ?  Even  when  apparently  most  iconoclastic,  is  not  science  con- 
structive? Does  it  not  destroy  one  system  of  consistencies,  only  to  substi- 
tute a  wider,  a  deei>er,  a  more  spiritual  order? 

Then  let  us  welcome  this  age  of  science,  not  as  the  inevitable 
which  nuist  be  endured,  but  as  the  greatest  means  this  world  has  yet  ex- 
perienced for  uplifting  mankind,  not  only  materially,  but  spiritually.

is  making  our  twentieth  century  girl  so  womanly  and  appreciative  of  all 
natural  things,  far  away  from  all  artificality.  The  gymnasiuim  means

Harkiet  M.\rgaret  Adair York.   Pa. 

But  zvhat's  a  name? 

Yes,  from  a  child,  Harriet  has  been  fond 
of  "Jacks."  We  fear  this  childish  fondness 
may  lead  her  to  rashly  change  the  name 
which  has  served  her  so  well  these  many 
years.  Nevertheless  "Peggy"  never  lets  her 
pleasures  interfere  with  her  work.  Stick-to- 
it-iveness,  well,  she  has  tliat  and  plenty  of  it, 
especially  when  letter  writing  is  the  work  on 
hand.  She  is  an  active  member  of  the  Moore 
Literary  Society,  has  "cut  out"  slang,  goes 
to  church  every  Sunday,  drinks  coffee,  but 
doesn't  smoke.  Her  favorite  study  is  psycho- 
logy, while  her  favorite  means  of  passing  the 
time  away,  as  above  stated,  is  playing  with 
"Jacks"  and  writing  letters.  The  outlook  for 
Harriet's  future  is  very  favorable,  and  to 
this  we  want  to  add  our  best  wishes  for  her 
success.

Oh  bed,  I'll  hcd.  delicious  bed! 

That's  hcirrcii  on  earth  to  the  slcefv  head. 

When  you  see  Betty  you  might  say  of  the 
tall,  slender  person:  "My,  how  quiet  and 
sedate" — not  so,  my  friend.  But  when  she 
speaks  she  wins  you  and  in  the  same  sweet, 
'winnin.g  way  she  won  the  pupils  in  Model 
Scliool  to  her. 

Her  cliief  delights  (?)  are  getting  up  early 
and  going  to  church,  also  taking  long  walks 
into  the  country  to  places  of  local  interest. 
Perfectly  harmless. 

The  old  maxim,  "Day  is  the  time  for  work, 
night  is  the  time  of  rest,"  and  other  things  is 
held  sacred  by  Betty,  for  she  can  accomplish 
wonders  in  the  acquisition  of  knowledge  dur- 
in.g  her  study  periods 

Betty  will  succeed  we  know,  especially  if 
she  applies  all  she  learned  in  her  favorite 
subject — psychology.

Port  Kennedy.  During  her  stay  with  us  she 
has  made  many  warm  friends  owing  to  her 
cheerful  and  sunny  disposition.  One  of  her 
chief  delights  was  basket  ball,  but  she  very 
much  regretted  the  calling  off  of  all  games 
between  our  school  and  Williamson.  "We 
wonder  why!"  .\lvie  was  very  much  interest- 
ed in  the  suffrage  movement  and  is  a  strong 
advocate  of  "Woman's  Rights."  Some  day 
we  hope  to  see  marked  improvements  in  her 
little  home  town  owing  to  her  great  spirit  in 
this  cause.  We  do  not  know  how  long  .\lvie

years  and  then  enter  upon  some  other  line

Although  Ebbs  is  very  fond  of  bright  col-

the  brilliant  hue  of  her  locks.  But  never 
mind,  we  would  .give  up  our  brilliant  colors 
for  a  little  share  of  that  "halo  of  gold." 
She  is  very  fond  of  mathematics  and  thinks 
she  will  enjoy  teaching  them. 

But  something  more  dear  to  her  heart  (?) 
is  an  ambition  to  become  ruler  of  her  own 
dominion  in  a  little  red  school  house  on  the 
hill  (Harmony  Hill).  Ebbs  has  a  disposition 
which  does  ncjt  usually  go  with  red  hair,  but 
she  has  been  given  a  niischievious  spirit,  in- 
stead of  a  hot  temper.  .She  gets  all  that's

Here  is  Jcanette's  twin!  Elizabetli  is  a

not  a  Poler,  she  wouldn't  tliink  of  Roing  to 
class  without  knowing  something  about  the

mestic Science.  Sometimes  we  wonder  what 
she  really  intends  to  do.  Yes,  she  is  going 
to  teach  school,  but  she  highly  approves  of 
Young  Marriages.  Sometimes  we  find  her 
day-dreaming  and  our  Vigilance  Committee 
discovered  that  she  has  a  mysterious  Friend, 
"George."  When  Elizabeth  first  came  to  the

would  not  stay,  for  she  could  not  find  the  bed, 
and  she  declared  she  would  not  sleep  on  the 
floor;  but  she  soon  learned  the  ways  of  Nor- 
mal life.  Elizabeth  does  not  come  from  a

consequently  very  lew  know  her  as  she  real- 
ly is.  She  is  very  industrious,  never  shirks 
a  duty,  and  is  kind  and  obliging  to  all.  We

the  costumes  in  our  Indian  play  would  not 
have  been  such  a  success,  as  she  made  most

"To   be   merry  best   beeoines  her." 

Since  Mildred  arrived  from  the  West  Ches- 
ter High  School,  her  one  consuming  amlji- 
tion  has  been  to  become  a  German  teacher. 
Sometimes  she  drives  her  friends  to  distrac- 
tion by  attempting  to  converse  with  them  in 
this  beloved  language,  and  no  matter  whether 
any  other  lesson  is  prepared  she  always 
knows  her  "Deutsch."  It  is  not  strange  then 
that  her  favorite  expression  should  'be  "Mein 
Herz!"  We  wonder  whether  the  affliction  is 
serious.  However,  she  is  alive  to  other  sub- 
jects and  has  been  heard  to  talk  at  length  on 
the  advantages  of  school  teaching,  woman 
suffrage  and  other  topics  of  interest.  She  is 
always  happy  and  carefree,  except  when  con- 
fronted by  a  problem  in  arithmetic.  We 
wish    her    success.

She  is  one  of  the  bright  lights  of  our  class, 
coming  to  us  in  the  second  year  of  our 
course.  Her  favorite  pastime  is  asking  ques- 
tions in  class,  as  her  fellow  students  can  tes- 
tify, especially  those  who  knew  her  in  Ethics 
Class. 

However,   she   has   a  bad    failing   and   it   is 

that  she  writes  so  many  letters  to .     Yes. 

Billy  B.,  the  New  England  States  would  be

And  tliosc  who  kn07C  thcc.  know  all  words 

arc    faint." 

Tliis  demure  little  maid  joined  the  Normal 
ranks  lnur  years  ago,  after  gaining  a  foot- 
hold in  knowledge  in  the  public  schools  of 
Adams  comity. 

She  was  not  with  us  very  long  until  we 
found  her  to  be  very  studious  and  always 
faithful  in  the  performance  of  duties  assigned 
her.  Ruth  is  one  member  of  the  class  to  whom 
the  opposite  sex  has  no  attraction  for  she 
says  her  highest  aim  is  to  found  on  "Old 
Maid's  Institution"  in  her  home  county.  In 
the  meantime  she  is  going  to  be  a  genuine 
school  ma'rm.  The  school  district  that  num- 
bers her  amon,g  its  teachers  will  be,  indeed, 
fortunate. 

We  wish  yciu  much  success  in  your  career, 
discreet  little  "Rufus."     Y.  W.  C.  A.    Moore 


M.\RY    Baumg.\rtner  .  .  .McConncllsburg,  I'a. 

This  friend  of  ours,  often  known  as  Polly, 
but  more  fre(|ucntly  as  just  plain  Mary,  came 
to  join  us  in  the  spring  of  1914  from  the  lit- 
tle western  town  of  McConnellsburg,  Pa. 
.Although  she  arrived  at  the  close  of  the  year, 
she  soon  became  acfpiainted  and  made  her- 
self at  home. 

Grannnar  seems  t"  be  her  favorite  subject, 
but  we  find  that  slie  takes  a  great  interest  in 
manual  trainin."",  especially  "reed"   work. 

Polly  declares  she  is  very  fond  of  exer- 
cise, yet  it  is  almost  impossible  to  persuade 
her  to  visit  the  ".gym." 

She  seems  to  be  our  "right  hand  girl,"  for 
she  is  sure  to  help  you  out  of  all  difficulties. 

Her  favorite  pastime  is  either  eating  or 
workin.g  geometry.  We  are  sure  that  some 
day  we  shall  hear  of  her  as  head  of  the 
Mathematics  Department.

Is  she  thai  beautiful  girl,  with  bright  blue 
eyes,  arched  eyebrows  aud  pretty  pink 
cheeks?  Yes,  that's  Betty,  a  most  graceful 
kiddie,  and  a  wonderful  dancer.  She  is  very 
fi>nd  of  swimming  and  is  an  all-around 
athlete.  .\t  the  last  "girls'  meet"  Betty  proveil 
herself  to  be  the  best  runner  in  our  class. 
"Beauty  is  only  skin  deep."  Ah,  yes,  but 
there  are  exceptions  to  every  rule.  Betty's 
beauty  is  deep  as  is  shown  by  her  strong  will, 
her  splendid  character  and  her  lovable  dis- 
position. 

Among  the  various  qualities  that  Betty  pos- 
sesses, which  others  of  us  do  not.  is  that  of 
"stick-to-it-ivness."  She  never  leaves  a  task 
until  it  is  satisfactorily  completed.  Several 
members  of  our  faculty  have  pronounced 
Betty  a  very  earnest  student.  She  is  jolly, 
good-natured  and  unselfish.  .\  friend  worth

to  be  a  teacher  and  we  all  believe  that  Helen 
will  <\ye  a  good  teacher  unless  a  certain  young 
man  will  interfere.  Let  me  warn  you  never 
to  argue  with  Helen  on  the  topic  of  "War,"

"Be  careful  to  get  Mae  spelled  correctly.

.ir  "Skinny,"  is  particular  about.  She's  a 
fair  lass  who  came  from  the  coal  regions  to 
West  Chester  Normal  in  1914  to  gain  some 
information  on  teacljing.  She  enjoyed  her 
work  the  first  year,  but  was  much  more 
interested  in  her  Senior  year.  One  rea- 
son was  her  joy  of  studying  .Agricul- 
ture, her  favorite  study.  Edna  is  very 
I  nthusiastic  over  the  "country,"  her  one  hope 
being  to  teach  there.  We  wonder  why.  aside 
from  the  charm  of  a  country  school?  One  of 
Edna's  talents  is  vocal  music.  If  she  develops 
ihis  talent  she  will  be  an  accomplished  singer 
in  the  future.  .\n  ever  prominent  characteris- 
tic of  "Skinny"  is  the  curl  of  her  hair.  Two 
curls,  properly  called  "cork-screws,"  adorn 
her  face.  Most  people  think  they  are  "done 
up,"  but  really  they  are  not.  We  wish  her 
.great  success  in  her  future  teaching.     Y.  W.

exception.  She  was  born  in  Viriginia  anil 
lived  there  up  to  a  few  years  ago.  She  canu 
to  the  Normal  from  the  West  Chester  High 
School,  class  of  1914.  She  is  full  of  fun  ami 
mischief  and  delights  in  pla.ying  harmless 
jokes  upon  every  one  whom  she  knows.  Her 
friends  declare  that  she  will  be  a  lashionalile 
modiste  in  some  future  day,  if  her  efforts  in 
that  line  continue.  "Brownie's"  friends  don't 
know  what  they  would  have  done  without 
her  if  she  had  not  come  up  from  the  South.

"Betts" 

"B"  stands  for  Buchanan,  Elizabeth  so  de- 
mure, who  starts  the  list  of  the  "flood  relics." 
"Betts,"  from  childhood,  was  reckoned  as  a 
jjrodigy  and  she  has  fulfilled  this  idea  in  the 
subject  of  agriculture  and  her  favorable 
mental  altitude  toward  the  "Rural  School 
Problem."  She  is  usually  quiet  and  suc- 
ceeds in  .getting  her  nineties  and  ninety-fives 
witliout  wearing  out  her  books,  or  burning 
the  midnight  "candle."  Elizabeth  is  on  her 
way  to  making  a  good  teacher.  We  must 
says  "Betts"  is  neat  and  coquettish  and  real- 
ly won't  have  long  to  instruct  the  ignorant. 
Her  favorite  sport  is  taking  long  morning 
walks  to 
"Go  forth  under  the  open  sky  and  list  to — " 

Her  favorite  expression  is  "by  hunk"  and 
her  hobby  is  teaching  music,  when  written  in 
"F  Sharpe."

"Bashiil    describes    Iter. 
But  still  ivatcr  riDis  deep." 

Having  outwitted  Mansfield,  Anna  came  to 
us  this  year  "to  have  some  fun  in  Phillie,"  as 
she  expressed  it.  "Billy,"  as  she  is  often  call- 
ed, is  a  great  pedestrian,  but  she  never  tells 
with  whom  she  takes  her  walks,  yet  we  have 
our  suspicions.  She  is  very  fond  of  nature 
study  as  the  results  of  her  walks,  and  she  is 
also  a  star  in  mathematics  (?).  Whenver  in 
doubt  she  consults  her  masculine  friend,  the 
brilliant  one  from  Villa  Nova.  Oh,  how  she 
hates  those  meals  we  get,  and  consequently 
lives  on  the  never  ending  supply  of  salvation. 
On  account  of  her  excellent  work  in  tin- 
Model  School,  Anna  expects  to  join  the 
teachers'  army  after  leaving  here.

"Flossie" 

Though  "Floss"  hails  from  frigid  Susc|ue- 
liaiina  county,  she  is  one  of  those  ever  studi- 
ous Montrose  High  School  graduates. 
"Flossie"  has  distinguished  herself  for  two 
things  since  her  arrival  at  the  Normal 
School,  namely,  her  great  sleeping  powers, 
and  her  ever-ready  assistance  to  a  non-mathe- 
matician. This  young  dame's  characteristic 
modesty  prevents  her  from  telling  some  of 
her  former  experiences;  the  only  clue  is  her 
favorite  words,  "O,  Pete!"  Her  chief  de- 
light was  to  get  started  in  the  new  course  of 
study  which  would  include  domestic  science. 
"Still  waters  run  deep."  so  the  saying  goes, 
and  this  may  truly  be  applied  to  "Floss."

Jeanne  Byroade. 


.Johnstown,   Pa. 


Jeanne  Byroade  is  among  the  .group  oi 
girls  who  comes  to  us  from  Johnstown. 
"Billie's"  hobby  is  to  go  callin.g  among  the 
girls.  She  really  likes  to  study,  her  chief  aim 
being  to  pass  geometry,  but  the  desire  to 
visit  in  other  rooms  is  so  temptin,g  that  many 
evenings  she  buzzes  out  at  seven  o'clock  and 
does  not  return  to  her  room  until  her  eyes 
fall  on  a  clock  and  she  cries  out,  "Oh,  is  it 
that  late?"  To  many  "Billie"  seems  quiet 
and  backward,  but  you  have  only  to  know 
her  and  learn  that  she  is  a  jolly  and  entertain- 
ing girl.  If  "Billie's"  name  were  "Wishie," 
it  would  characterize  her  better  and  if  wishes 
came  true  she  will  not  always  teach  school.

Beatrice,  better  known  to  us  by  far  as 
"Bee,"  came  to  us  two  years  ago  from  the 
West  Chester  High  School.  She  thought  of 
being  a  teacher  of  lan.guage  while  there,  but 
on  coming  to  us  has  changed  her  mind  and 
instead  she  will  be  a  teacher  of  arithmetic 
and  hi.gher  mathematics.  "Bee"  is  not  only 
an  excellent  student  but  a  distinguished 
athlete  as  well.  The  last  ruinor  has  it.  she 
will  be  Mrs.  Ehinger's  assistant  in  the  gym. 
next  year.  She  would  never  think  of  ba.gging 
a  gym.  class  on  Monday  afternoon.  Yet, 
isn't  it  strange  she  can  be  seen  at  .vit  anv 
Monday  afternoon  .going  north  on  Church

Silence  is  golden  with  "Rusty."  She  never 
argues  with  a  person  unless  she  is  sure  of

herself  to  Ije  one  of  whom  we  are  proud  to

when  there  is  work  to  be  done,  but  she 
never  fails  to  find  a  pleasure  or  some  fun  in 
everything  she  does.  Her  favorite  subjects 
are  Virgil  and  .Agriculture.  We  feel  sure

excellent  qualities  and  relieve  her  of  her

■'Peg- 

Success  in  her  chosen  career  is  our  wish 
to  Margaret,  better  known  at  the  Normal  as 
"Peg."  .\s  many  people  know,  "Peg"  is  a 
graduate  of  West  Chester  High,  class  of 
1914,  and  since  she  has  entered  tlie  Normal 
has  done  her  best  to  keep  up  the  reputation 
of  the  West  Chester  High  School,  and  seems 
to  have  succeeded.  Perhaps  mathematics  is 
her  favorite  study,  as  is  shown  by  her  record 
in  solid  geometry.  Quickness  of  action  is 
one  of  "Peg's"  characteristics  and  is  especial- 
ly displayed  on  school  mornings  about  eight- 
thirty.  "Peg"  hopes  to  see  the  time  when 
women  will  vote,  for  she  believes  it  is  their 
light  and  perhaps  will  be  able  to  inHuence 
her  community  in  that  direction.

This  chatter-box,  after  graduating  from 
the  Atglen  High  School,  decided  to  come  to 
the  Normal  to  learn  how  to  live  without 
working.  While  here  she  has  been  very  stu-

in  crocheting,  and  teaching  others  the  latest 
novelties  along  this  line.  Saturdays  and  Sun-

a  reason.  Maud  is  no  happier  than  when  she 
is  talking.  If  you  want  a  good  yarn  or  a 
good  laugh  she  always  has  an  abundant  sup-

Hel'^n  possesses  sterling  qualities  known

cheery  and  truly  an  optimist. 

Although  a  conscientious  student,  she  is 
ever  willing  to  join  in  the  funny,  side  of  the 
life  about  her.  She  is  extremely  fond  of 
mathematics. 

Helen  is  interested  in  Bristol  for  more 
reasons  than  one,  for  although  she  attemept- 
cd  to  prove  the  opposite,  frequent  letters, 
about  which  she  is  deeply  concerned,  show  us 
that  after  all  she  is  no  man-hater. 

Her  love  for  children  and  pleasing  per- 
sonality assure  her  success  in  her  chosen 
profession.  May  happiness  greet  you  all 
the  days  of  your  life.

"Though   Efa  /^ursu.j  a  scholarly  7eay. 
Much    fun    she    finds    from    day    to    day." 

Take  a  good  look  at  this  merry  dark- 
haired  lass  who  hails  from  I-vimberton  High 
School.  Eva  has  been  with  us  two  years  and 
one  term  and  in  that  time  has  made  a  fine 
record  for  herself.  She  shines  in  geometry 
hO  much  that  during  her  Senior  year  she  gave 
private  lessons  in  it.  But  that  is  not  all:  Eva 
is  a  fine  student  and  shows  her  tact  in  all  her 
work. 

She  has  taught  four  years,  but  one  would 
hardly  think  it.  This  is  because  she  decided 
to  be  a  school  marm  while  rather  young. 

With  an  everj'  ready  desire  to  laugh  and 
a  cheery  disposition,  Eva  makes  and  keeps 
many  friends.  To  brighten  the  world  at 
large  is  one  of  her  ambitions.  She  has  an 
innocent  look,  but  beware;  looks  are  some- 
times deceiving.  She  doesn't  have  those  big

Just  ask  her  what  novel  she  is  reading,  or 
what  piece  of  fancy  work  she  is  embroider- 
ing; you  will  be  surprised  at  the  answer  you 
receive.  Gertrude's  favorite  sport  is  skat- 
ing, and  she  thinks  nothing  of  getting  up 
early,  perhaps  to  receive  a  thorough  drench- 
ing because  of  thin  ice.  We  all  wish  the

lieves in  a  time  for  recreation.  In  politics 
she  is  a  suffragist.  Her  flfiw  of  eloquence 
on   this  subject   is  like  "Tennyson's   Brook."

Marietta  Flower  Coppock.  .  .Chester,  Pa. 

"Posy' 

Marietta  joined  our  class  in  the  Fall  of 
1914.  She  is  a  .graduate  of  Chester  High 
School,  where  she  proved  herself  an  excep- 
tionally good  student. 

She  is  of  a  fun-loving  disposition  and  her 
laugh  (if  it  be  one)  has  often  brought  the 
hall  teacher  to  the  door  after  ten.  When 
anything  unusual  happens,  Marietta  may  be 
heard  to  exclaim,  "Great  day  in  the  morn- 
ing!" In  all,  she  possesses  the  tiualities  of 
a  good  teacher  and  we  predict  for  her  a  suc- 
cessful future. 

She  is  especially  fond  of  German  and  her 
one  ambition  is  to  go  to  Germany;  we  don't 
think  she  will  go  alone  thiugh;  just  ask  her 
about  Ed.,  and  you  will  be  convinced  that 
other  things  beside  teaching  are  attractive.

Marion  G.  Cosgriff.  ...West  Chester,  Pa. 
"Cos" 

Marian,  better  known  as  "Cos,"  is  one  of 
the  jolly  bunch  of  West  Chester  High  School 
girls  w-lio  completed  the  course  there  in  1914. 
She  has  succeeded  in  bringing  her  teaching 
mark  up  to  a  high  standard,  and  will  un- 
doul)tedly  gather  friendships  in  the  commu- 
nity into  which  she  .goes.  "Cos"  must  be 
given  credit  for  the  fact  that  she  has  never 
been  absent  from  chapel,  although  she  was 
generally  three  or  more  squares  from  school 
when  the  bell  ran.g.  Due  to  her  witty  sug- 
gestions there  is  usually  a  smile  on  the  faces 
of  her  audience.  Probably  her  favorite 
study  is  Nature,  since  that  type  of  lesson 
seems  to  appeal  to  her  most.  Her  success 
is    nineteen   sixteen's   best    wish.

"Bess"  is  one  iif  our  West  Chester  girls, 
even  though  she  dues  hve  outside  of  the  lior- 
ough.  She  graduated  from  High  School 
two  years  ago  and  while  there  was  full  of 
fun  and  very  lively.  At  that  time  she  was  on 
the  side  of  "Holland,"  but  now,  since  the 
war  has  begun,  she  seems  to  be  neutral  and 
every  once  in  a  while  one  can  hear  her  ex- 
claim: "Oh,  Pete!"  so  that  may  be  the 
cause.  Latin,  English  and  Nature  study  are 
her  favorite  studies.  "Bess"  is  very  seldom 
■  found  without  "Bee,"  and  together  they  keep 
the  place  lively.

"Mini" 
Miriam,  a  grduate  from  Reading  High 
School,  came  to  us  in  the  Fall  of  1914.  She 
has  three  great  desires.  One  is  to  become  a 
graceful  dancer,  the  other  a  lady  of  leisure, 
and  last,  but  not  least,  to  reduce  her  avoirdu- 
pois, alth(.iugh  she  is  not  making  any  effort 
toward  the  latter  as  a  great  deal  of  her  life 
at  the  Normal  is  spent  sleeping.  She  gets 
"rattled,"  when  roused  from  her  slumber  be- 
fore due  time,  especially  at  ten-minute  bell. 
Miriam  delights  in  swimming  and  eating, 
and  is  always  on  the  scene,  when  a  box  of 
eats  arrives  in  Room  ,sii.  We  do  not  think 
she  is  very  fond  of  study;  she  would  rather 
talk,  and  often  her  conversation  drifts 
toward  lier  Sunday  School  teacher.  We 
hope  this  pedagogue  is  a  "female,"  lest  we 
lose  her,  before  she  becomes  settled  in  her 
chosen   life's    work.

best  all-around  athlete  we  have  in  the  Senior

of  foot  ball,  having  been  on  the  'Varsity 
team  at  Millersville  Normal  School  and  at 
Gettysburg  College,  when  he  attended 
these  institutions.  He  was  greatly  disappoint- 
ed when  he  found  no  foot  ball  played  here:  he 
stars  in  basket  ball  and  in  base  ball,  having 
been  our  captain  for  the  season  oi  1916.  He 
is  a  very  good  fellow,  ever  willing  to  make  a 
sacrifice  to  help  a  friend.  His  mark  in  teach- 
ing shows  his  ability  as  a  teacher  and  he  in- 
tends to  wind  up  at  State  College  in  a  few 
years.  Good  luck.  "Ernie,"  and  lots  of  it.

She  faithfully  lives  up  to  the  name  of  an

Her  disposition  is  as  clear  and  sparkling  as  a

has  its  theories  definitely  formulated  and  is, 
herself,  cut  out  by  nature  to  unite  and  be

"Beolie"  comes,  too,  from  Newtown

seems  to  be  very  quiet  and  reserved,  but 
those  qualities  quickly  vanish  when  one 
knows  'Beolie."  Her  favorite  subject  is  Do- 
mestic Science.  Her  work  in  cooking  and 
sewing  were  especially  good  and  it  leads  us 
to  believe  that  Viola  will  not  remain  long  in 
the  ranks  of  teachers.  When  "Beolie's" 
"Gosh  bin.g  it!"  comes  out,  you  know  there  is

"Marg"  is  very  proud  that  she  comes  to

tached to  Haddonfield  that  she  goes  back 
nearly  every  other  week.  She  is  a  good  stu- 
dent and  seems  to  be  especially  brilliant  in 
Philosophy  and  History  of  "Ed."  Perhaps 
there  is  a  reason  for  this,  but  if  there  is. 
"Marg"  does  not  tell,  as  she  is  fond  of  keep- 
ing things  to  herself.  We  are  sure  that  if 
scjnie  one  would  ask  her  where  she  is  room- 
ing, the  answer  woi'ld  be  first  floor,  as  she 
is  usually  found  in  Room  48,  at  least,  when- 
ever it  is  possible.  It  is  expected  that

Marie,  alias  "Mutt."  came  to  the  Normal 
last  year  a  very  shy  (?)  little  (?)  Junior.  She 
has  improved,  however,  to  such  an  extent 
that  she  was  favored  with  an  extra  week  and 
a  hah  of  country  school  teaching.  We  think 
she  will  make  a  very  successful  teacher  "if 
she  keeps  at  it.'  Marie  would  be  studious  if 
she  were  allowed  to  be,  but  talkative  room- 
mates have  robbed  her  of  this  good  quality. 
She  is  another  of  those  noted  "deluge  city" 
people.  Marie  is  quite  fond  of  athletics  in 
the  form  of  "boxes"  from  home.  Her  fav- 
orite dissipation  is  Siinon's  ice  cream;  her 
favorite  expression  is  "Ye  Gods!"  and  her 
favorite  studies  are   science  and  literature.

ideals  that  soar  to  the  skies  and  easjerness

terested in  banking  or  the  like.

Ruth  does  all  of  these  things,  especially  the 
sleeping.  Not  infrequently  you  can  hear  her 
roommate  calling  her  at  6..p  A.  M.,  but  it 
takes  Ruth  until  7.2s  to  make  up  her  mind 
to  get  up.  Nevertheless,  she  gets  to  7.4.S 
class,  much  to  the  surprise  of  her  friends. 
No.  Ruth  does  not  spend  all  of  her  time  in 
bed.  It  is  evenly  divided  between  it  and  the 
dining  room,  for  she  has  a  great  affinity  for 
"eats."  In  spite  of  these  weaknesses,  she  is 
a  diligent  worker  and  is  very  fond  of  do- 
mestic science.  We  wonder  if  that  accounts 
for  her  ardent  support  of  Lafayette  College.

from  the  "Flood"  city.  Some  call  her 
"Curly,"  but  she  is  best  known  to  us  as 
"Div."  If  she  is  not  sleeping,  she  is  crochet- 
ing, and  many  times  a  knock  will  come  to  her 
door  and  a  voice  will  say,  "  'Div,'  start  this

Her  favorite  expression  is  "Dear  Me!"  and 
can  be  heard  Liuite  often  when  she  is  work- 
ing arithmetic  (which,  I  might  add,  is  her 
favorite  study).  She  is  very  quiet  and  un-

and  has  made  a  host  of  friends.  Because  of 
her  slight  stature  she  proves  to  us  "that

it  is  so   far  away.

she  is  always  sad  to  miss  a  recital,  especially 
if  the  programme  holds  many  vocal  solos.

dictorian of  her  class  at  the  high  school,  and, 
naturally,  when  she  arrived  at  the  Normal, 
she  kept  up  her  diligent  work. 

It  is  difficult  to  say  what  her  favorite  study 
is,  but  she  "shines"  in  Latin  and  Domestic 
Science.  Perhaps  the  latter  will  come  in 
quite   useful   a   few   years   from   now. 

"Peggy's"  vacations  are  .generally  spent  in 
Newtown,  where  she  spends  many  happy 
hours  rui  the  tennis  court.  At  the  Normal 
her  favorite  pastime  is  crocheting. 

She  never  expressed  her  opinion  very 
strongly  on  the  suffrage  question,  but  we  are 
inclined  to  think  she  was  an  anti.

What  do  I  hear?  A  merry  laugh  and  then 
I  see  a  radiant,  smiling  face  with  dimples. 
Behold,  'tis  "Kacky."  Jnst  to  hear  her  say, 
"O,  joy!"  sufficiently  explains  her  sunny  dis- 
Ijosition.  "Kacky"  joined  our  ranks  from 
Yardley,  where  she  obtained  her  early  edu- 
cation. She  expects  to  teach,  but,  oh,  no — 
not  long.  She  is  always  jolly,  but  at  the 
same  time  is  a  faithful  student,  her  hobby 
being  Virgil  and  Mathematics.  This  dark- 
haired,  blue-eyed  maiden  does  not  board  in 
the  building,  so  wc  do  not  sec  her  as  much 
as  we  desire.  Her  motto  is  eat,  sleep  and  be 
merry,  and  she  follows  it  out  faithfully.  "So

Helen   R.  Drehek Hazleton,  Pa. 

Helen,  or  better  known  among  her  friends 
as  Helene,  came  to  us  from  Hazel  township 
High  School.  Her  good  nature  about  all 
things  wins  much  favor  for  her.  Her  motto 
is,  "Duty  before  pleasure,"  which  she 
well  applies.  When  asked  to  go  places,  she 
always  smilmgly  answers  in  accordance  with 
her  motto,  which,  doubtless,  will  mean  a  suc- 
cessful future.  Helen  remains  inactive  to 
many  pleasures,  but  is  always  interested  in 
their  good  welfare.  Although  Arithmetic  is 
the  subject  she  most  dislikes.  Domestic  Sci- 
ence proves  to  'be  a  pleasure.  Vacation  time 
is  always  a  source  of  delight,  and  she  is  al- 
ways a  happy  one  when  this  draws  nigh. 

"She  really  likes  to  study. 
And  docs  this  in  i^rcat  measure. 
Because  it   is-  a  duty. 
And  after  that  the  pleasure."

"A  rare  eoinpound  of  oddity,  frolic  and

"Peg.gy"  is  one  of  the  poetic  members  of 
the  class.  She  has  wonderful  ability  along 
this  line  and  her  jin.gling  rhymes,  which  por- 
tray her  jolly  good-nature,  and  sense  of  hu- 
mor, have  been  the  source  of  much  entertain-

bv  contributin.g  a  class  poem  to  the  iqi.t

She  is  fond  of  athletics,  particularly  basket 
ball,   having  "starred"  on  our  girls'  team. 

Her  favorite  studies  are  History  and  Ene- 
lish  and  in  her  pursuit  of  these  subjects,  after

Ruth  the  fair.  Ruth  the  h)v;ibk',  Ruth  the 
sweetest  girl  of  our  dear  old  Higli.  We  all 
know  Ruth  by  her  sunny  smile.  Ruth,  better 
known  as  "Duby,"  is  always  the  same — al- 
ways calm. 

We  hear  a  commotion  in  the  hall  and  we 
hear  a  deep  voice  say,  "Oh,  your  grand- 
mother's ear  drum,"  and  wo  know  it  is  the 
voice  of  no  other  than  our  Ruth.

claim  Ruth  as  our  friend,  for,  from  her  dis- 
position, wo  loarn  t"  Innk  on  the  bright  side

short  acquaintanceship  one  will  find  that  she 
is  up  to  as  many  tricks  as  the  rest  of  us.

"She  Smiles  the  leliole  \ear  round." 

This  little  maid  came  to  us  from  Bern- 
ville  three  years  ago  and  is  a  graduate  of  that 
High  School.  "Kitty"  has  been  very  indus- 
trious during  her  course  here  and  her  sym- 
pathetic nature  has  won  her  many  friends. 
Her  favorite  study  is  .grammar  and  one  may 
not  infrequently  find  her  in  her  room  trans- 
lating German  prose  and  singing  German 
songs.  She  is  noted  for  "giggling."  You

not  visible.  She  is  very  much  interested  in 
Princeton  College  and  if  you  don't  believe  it,

Brandt  Eariiakdt Eliza])L-thto\vn,  Pa. 

The  kind  and  caressing  Autumn  Ijrecze  of 
September,  igi,^,  wafted  the  subject  of  this 
sketcii  from  tlie  dismal  fastnesses  of  Eliza- 
betlitown  into  the  halls  of  our  Alma  Mater. 
Since  then,  the  genial  smile,  the  frank  and 
hearty  friendship  and  unfailing  loyalty  of 
"Dutch,"  sometimes  called  Brandt,  have  ex- 
erted a  stimulating  effect  upon  the  denizens 
of  Wayne  Hall.  There  is  nothing  wishy- 
washy  about  Brandt;  he  is  ready  at  any  time 
to  "rough  it  np,  to  sing  a  song,  or  dance  a 
jig."  He  has  assisted  materially  in  elevating 
the  young  minds  of  Sconnelllnun.  ,nnd  it  is 
reported  that  when  he  was  forced  to  part 
with  them  his  pupils  wept.  Whether  the 
tears  were  tears  of  joy  or  tears  of  sadness 
is  another  question. 

We   predict    a    future   of    great    and    useful

cess lie  so  well  deserves.     Serpentine  staff,

Mildred  A.  Easton Norristown,  Pa. 

Mildred,  better  known  as  Midge,  comes 
from  Norristown,  althou.gh  no  one  would 
know  it  to  look  at  her.  She  graduated  from 
the  High  School  of  that  place  and  then  de- 
cided to  fit  herself  to  preside  over  a  room 
full  of  little  angels,  so  the  fall  of  1914  found 
her  at  the  Normal. 

"Midge"  is  a  very  industrious  girl  and 
spends  her  time  profitably.  She  is  especially 
fond  of  psychology  and  teaching  in  the  first 
grade  and  comes  back  full  of  interesting 
events  which  happened  during  the  day  and 
tells  us.  "Girls,  it  was  the  funniest  thing. 
Oh!    I    nearly  died!" 

She  is  very  fond  of  aut(iniobiling,  but  al- 
ways in  an  "Overland."  Every  Saturday 
at  quarter  of  si.x  finds  her  at  High  and  Gay 
streets  waiting  to  go  to  Norristown:  that  is 
also  why  her  favorite  color  is  coral  (Carl).

Nor  gives  her  tongue  one  monieut's  rest." 

"Oh.  my  heart!"  Yes,  that  is  "Pollyanna," 
the  jolliest  girl  on  Miss  Crilcy's  hall.  Her 
merry  giggle  can  be  heard  at  any  hour  of  the 
day  (or  night).  Nothing  depresses  her  and 
just  when  you  think  she  is  "properly  squelch- 
ed," she  bobs  up  as  gay  as  ever.  No  pranks 
ever  occur  im  the  halls  in  which  Bertha  is  not 
an  active  leader.  "Berfade"  came  from  the 
Weathcrlv  High  School  and  entered  here  in 
Junior  year.  Her  worries  are  few  and  les- 
sons are  the  least  of  them.  Eats  and  sleep 
are  her  greatest  hobbies.  The  sound  of  the 
breakfast  bell  is  an  unknown  quantity,  but 
for  all  other  meals  Bertha  is  right  on  hand.

plays  the  piano  well.  But  in  the  future  she

from  Tetrazini.  She  has  a  wide  range  of  in-

Here's  our  friend,  "Ely,"  who  came  to  us 
three  years  ago,  from  that  illustrious  town  of 
Bethavres.  With  her  winning  smile  and 
shining  brown  eyes  she  has  won  many  fast 
friends. 

She  is  a  hard  worker,  her  favorite  study 
being  arithmetic,  which  is  the  first  thing  in 
the  morning  and  the  last  thing  at  night. 
With  it  all  she  has  become  quite  an  ardent 
suffrage  advocate,  and  often  finds  time  be- 
tween seven  and  ten  to  discuss  the  question. 

Her  vacations  are  mostly  spent  m  visiting 
her  friends,  even  going  as  far  as  the  "Sunny 
South,"  and  though  the  roads  were  rough, 
she  was   ah.vays  ready  to  drive. 

Her  highest  ambition  is  to  practice  peda- 
gogy long  enough  to  purchase  a  "Hudson 
Six"  with  which  to  tour  Europe.  Member

May    a.    ERL.\cnER Reading,    ?a. 

This  is  one  of  the  smallest  and  yet  the 
jolliest  girls  of  our  ciass.  She  came  to  us  in 
the  Fall  of  1914  from  the  famous  city  of 
Reading,  Pa.  May  was  accompanied  by  six 
of  her  classmates  and  it  did  not  take  long  for 
that  Reading  crowd  to  make  themselves  at 
home. 

Wherever  May  is,  there  laughter  abounds. 
She  has  a  cheery  word,  and  happy  smile  for 
every  one  and  her  lau.gh  is  ofter  heard  ring- 
ing through  the  halls.  She  keeps  the  crowd 
in  an  uproar  with  her  melodious  singing. 

It  is  hard  to  tell  which  subject  holds  a  spe- 
cial place  in  May's  interest  for  she  divides 
her  time  equally  with  all  of  them.  Naturally 
domestic  science  appeals  to  her,  for  lur 
fame  as  a  dressmaker  is  already  widely 
known.  We  little  know  the  outlook  of  her 
future,   but  we   wish   her  all   possible   success.

"Let  good  digestion  wait  on  good  appetite." 

"Gosh,  kids;  gut  anything  to  eat?"  Who 
is  that?  Why,  Ahiia,  of  course.  The  Httle 
girl  wants  something  to  eat.  Although 
Ahna  likes  "eats"  there  are  other  things 
which  she  likes  equally  as  well,  or  nearly  so. 
Among  these  is  the  ability  to  talk  in  public 
and  this  she  does  very  well.  Another  thing 
she  likes  very  much  is  "sleep,"  and  once  her 
door  is  locked  and  Alma  lays  her  head  on  a 
downy  l\ormal  pillow  it  is  a  sign  ol  no 
more   entertaining  that  night. 

Alma  has  fondness  for  kittens,  but  we 
hope  this  will  not  last  long,  for  although  a 
good  teacher,  teaching  is  not  her  "favorite 
study."  However,  this  fondness  is  perhaps 
due  to  her  kind  disposition  and  the  desire  to 
help  everything  and  every  one  in  general.

Well,  had  you  looked  you'd  have  recognized

golden-haired  maiden  with  the  rosy  cheeks 
and  happy  smile,  for  "once  seen,"  never  for- 
gotten. 

Some  people  think  she  is  very  dignified, 
and  while  she  pos.sesses  a  goodly  amount  of 
dignity,  it  is  quite  overbalanced  by  her  love 
for  mischief.  Her  favorite  study  is  German 
and  she  can  frequently  be  heard  delivering 
stump  speeches  in  favor  of  "Der  Kaiser.'' 
Water  has  a  great  fascination  for  her; 
rowing  in  summer,  skating  in  winter,  and 
between  times  taking  showers  are  her  chief 
pleasures.     Rec.   Sec'y   Moore   Society.

them,  combined  with  her  witty  remarks,  is

"Fid"  was  graduated  from  Womelsdorf 
High  School  in  June,  1914.  Upon  conimg 
here  it  was  found  that  Nature  study  was  her 
favorite  subject,  although  her  lessons  were 
taken  in  a  different  form  from  the  rest  of  the 
class.  Her  favorite  amusement  was 
"movies"  and  most  any  afternoon  she  could 
be  seen  wending  her  way  to  the  "Opera 
House."  We  can  imagine  this  little  lady  will 
make  a  good  primary  teacher,  for  her  pupils 
will  hardly  refuse  her  entreaty.  "Aint  you

"Fid"  always  looks  forward  to  her  vaca-

Here  is  a  fine  maiden  who  entered  our 
ranks  four  years  ago  from  the  public  schools 
of  Spring  Mills.  We  soon  learned  that 
"Sally"  objected  to  early  rising.  During  her 
stay  with  us  she  has  never  been  known  to 
get  up  for  breakfact  except  under  force.  Every 
morning  one  can  hear  her  exclaim,  "O,  my 
heart:  is  it  time  to  get  up?"  With  her  sunny 
disposition  she  has  made  and  kept  many 
friends.  "Sally"  says  her  ambition  is  to 
teacli,  but  we  wonder  about  that  if  we  judge 
her  by  her  favorite  son.g.  I  have  a  sneaking

"Bui   llic  greatest   of  these  is  cliarily." 

Tliis  winsome  lassie  from  Downingtowii 
Hisjli  School  came  to  us  in  the  fall  of  1014. 
Always  bright  and  congenial,  she  qnickly 
won  her  way  into  the  hearts  of  all  who 
knew  her.  "Chat"  is  very  fond  of  literature 
and  during  her  Junior  year  her  hobby  was 
Germane?).  From  her  earnestness  and  sin- 
cerity in  her  work  we  cannot  but  expect  her 
to  be  one  of  the  great  successes  of  our  class. 
We  do  not  expect  "Chat's"  life  work  to  be 
teachin.g,  but  before  many  years  have  rolled 
by  we  believe  her's  will  bo  the  lot  of  most 
other  young  maidens.  In  whatever  she  does 
she  carries  with  her  tlie  best  wishes  of  all 
classmates  and  friends. 


Theresa    Flinn Johnstown,    Pa. 

"Tray" 

Theresa  Flinn,  or  "Tray,"  as  she  is  uni- 
versally known  by,  is  one  of  the  Johnstown 
Hood  relics  that  drifted  into  West  Chester  in 
the  Fall  of  '14.  "Tray"  is  a  "coquettish" 
sort  with  "come  hither"  eyes  and  does  her 
share  of  luring  the  "weaker  sex"  on.  She  is 
very  fond  of  out-of-door  life  and  takes  a  spe- 
cial pleasure  in  the  study  of  birds,  especially 
"Jays."  She  takes  .great  interest  too,  in 
her  studies  and  shows  her  personality  to  the 
best  advantage  in  her  outbursts  in  defense 
of  "Math."  and  "how  to  teach  spelling." 
"Tray"  has  the  power  of  interpretin.g  music, 
but  this  is  not  her  only  art,  for  she  is  a  regu- 
lar "Lucile"  in  the  art  of  dressing  the  hair. 
She  has  a  sunny  disposition  and  always  keeps 
lur   friends  in  good  cheer.

"Clarice" 

Since  her  advent  into  our  midst  in  the 
Fall  of  'i.i.  Clarice  has  made  many  friends, 
.As  her  winning  smile  testifies,  she  is  of  sweet 
temperament  and  cheery  heart. 

Fler  favorite  studies  are  agriculture  (?)  and 
arithmetic  (?). 

She  is  extremely  fond  of  walking  (especial- 
ly up  town) — we  wonder  why — skating,  swim- 
ming and  most  certainly  talking. 

"Clarice"  is  an  ardent  suffragette  and  was 
very  much  disappointed  when  her  native 
county  failed  to   support  the  cause. 

She  declares  that  she  will  teach  two  years, 
but  is  undecided  as  to  her  life  thereafter. 
We  have  no  doubt  as  to  what  that  will  be,  for, 
althou.gh  apparently  meek  and  modest,  her 
frequent  letters  from  a  certain  "Frat"  betray 
her  oath  of  "single  blessedness."

from  llu'  Trcdyffriii-Easttown  Higli  School 
and  for  two  years  has  traveled  back  and  forth 
on  the  train,  through  sunshine  or  rainy

but,  of  course,  she  always  prefers  her  text 
books  to  any  interesting  story  tliat  you  might 
put  before  her,  Sometnnes  we  think  she

ing a  lesson  plan  on  corn,  looking  up  the 
most  troublesome  weeds  and  insects  on  the 
farm  or  some  other  form  of-  agriculture. 
But  upon  questioning  her,  we  find  that  the 
happiest  moment  of  her  life  will  be  when  she, 
the  once  called  little  "Peggy,"  can  stand  be- 
hind a  desk  with  a  book  in  one  hand  and  a

"Best  of  comfort  and  ever  ivclcomc  to  us." 

Mistress  Alice,  quiet,  unassuming,  and  a 
friend  to  every  one,  came  to  us  in  the  fall  of 
1914  from  the  West  Chester  High  School. 
In  the  Summer  ot  that  year,  she  did  a  noble 
service  in  an  industrial  reform  school  for 
girls,  acting  as  a  teacher,  and  so  she  had  a 
Summer's  vacation  filled  with  experience. 

Still  the  greater  part  of  her  actions  is  a 
world  unknown  and  it  seems  as  though  she 
always  kept  in  mind,  "Silence  is  grdden." 
Loyal  day  students,  who  are  often  near  Alice, 
not  infrequently  heard  her  say,  "Oh,  Honk!" 
Don't  scatter,  "fellers,"  she  is  just  learning

would  be  very  hard  to  say  in  which  study  she 
excels.  You  never  hear  Mary  say,  "I  am

brilliant  student  in  all  her  classes.  Her 
favorite  studies  are  Physics  and  Arithmetic, 
although  she  is  exceedingly  friendly  with  nil 
of  them.  She  is  very  fond  of  walking  and 
is  accustomed  to  taking  long  walks  when- 
ever the  occasion  presents  itself.  Frances 
might  ha\e  been  heard  to  exclaim,  "Oh. 
pshaw!  if  perchance  she  could  not  go 
home  or  to  the  city  over  Saturday  and  Sun- 
day, but  still  she  was  happy  in  spite  of  her 
lot.  Frances'  idea!  is  that  of  becoming  a 
model  rural  school  teacher.

"Dot"  lives  at  Philadelphia,  but  if  home 
is  where  her  heart  is,  her  home  in  Lebanon. 
She  admires  long  hair  on  men  because  it's 
so  artistic.  Elbert  Hubbard  had  long  hair. 
Does  anv  one  else? 

"Dot"  is  a  born  psychologist,  but  it  some- 
times gets  her  into  deeper  water  than  is  com- 
fiirtable.  but  it  hasn't  drowned  her  yet  and 
she  says  it  "can't  be  did."  However,  such 
trivial  things  don't  interest  her  nearly  as 
much  as  literature,  especially  James  Whit- 
comb  Riley.  If  you've  ever  seen  "Dot"  not 
reciting,  "God  bless  you.  young  lim  Riley," 
etc.,  you  can  wager  on  it  that  either  she  is 
ill  or  has  flunked  another  .\rithmetic   E.xam.. 

We  can't  fully  predict  "Dot's"  future,  but 
she  will  become  either  librarian  or  teacher  of 
English   at    State  if  the   Fates  are   willin.g.

Mary  Julia  lias  always  been  called  "Babe." 
as  she  must  be  called  by  her  fidl  name  and 
that  is  too  long.  "Babe"  is  very  good  na- 
lured  and  is  always  ready  tc-  do  thin.i^s  for 
some  one  else  especially  "Dot."  She  never 
gets  cross  except  when  she  is  doing  me-

use  some  very  funny  language.  She  always 
gets  along  well  in  all  her  lessons  and  is  es- 
pecially fond  of  mathematics.  "Babe"  is  al-

having  been  home  for  alrao.^t  two  years  she

ripple  every  one  loses  their  di.gnity  and  joins 
in  her  chorus.  She  is  also  noted  for  her

"Hauptie."  as  we  like  to  call  her.  came  to  us

feels  it  her  duty  to  blush  for  the  whole

However.  Helen  is  an  earnest  worker  and 
we  are  sure  that  she  will  make  a  wonderful 
success  in  the  teaching  profession;  that  is,  so 
long  as  she  stays  in  our  ranks,  for  we  fear 
from  all  accounts  that  it  will  not  be  long  be- 
fore she  takes  up  other  duties  as  her  favor-

This  dainty  little  Friend  of  ours  came  to

graduated  from  the  Friends'  School,  in  West 
Chester  in  191.^,  where  she  won  a  scholarship 
for  Swarthmore  College.  Then  for  a  year

many  West  Chester  friends  and  wends  her 
way  through  the  streets  of  Swarthmore.  In

her  course  in  training  for  a  teacher  atW.  C.  S. 
N.  S.  where  her  many  friends  gladly  wel- 
comed her. 

Drawing  was  her  favorite  study,  but  now 
we  are  afraid  that  she  has  given  her  pref- 
erence to  chemistry,  because  many  evenings 
her  late  return  home  is  e.xplained  by  the  fact 
that  she  spent  considerable  time  after  four

old never  bothers  himself  with  the  opposite 
sex,  but,  however,  they  all  seem  to  admire 
him. 

Latin  is  his  favorite  study  and  to  hear  him 
read  or  recite  long  passages  from  Caesar. 
Cicero  and  Virgil  is  amazing. 

This  lad  is  very  young,  but  is  brilliant  and 
has  great  determining  power;  therefore,  we

Eiiiila,  wliij  is  better  known  as  "Nolie,"

the  Fall  of  'i.^,  after  having  graduated  from

her  favorite  studies  being  history,  algebra, 
French  and  Chemistry,  especially  the  "i^es"- 
sons  in  the  "lab."  She  is  a  great  day  dream- 
er, but  even  if  she  is,  she  can  soon  return  to 
lier  old  level  and  have  some  fun  or  do  some- 
thing crazy,  of  which  she  is  very  fond. 
"Nolie''  also  likes  music  and  dancing  and 
is  very  well  versed  in  both  stunts.  "The  girl 
with  eyes  like  those  of  the  girl  in  the  book" 
migh  be  applied  to  her,  but  still  this  does  not 
include  such  adjectives  as  attractive,  hunior- 
oiir  and  entertaining,  which  may  well  be  ap- 
plied.

"Kittv" 


Althou.gh  "Kitty"  has  only  been  here  two 
years,  she  is  well  known  throughout  the 
school  and  loved  by  every  one.  We  often 
wonder  how  she  gets  along  so  splendidly  in 
her  subjects  since  we  rarely  find  her  in  her 
room  durin.g  study  hour.  Nevertheless  she 
comes  out  with  honors.  She  comes  to  us 
from  a  four  years'  high  school  which  must 
have  been  a  pleasant  place,  for  we  often  find 
her  dreaming  of  those  happy  high  school 
days.  "Kitty"  is  a  good  entertainer,  and 
though  she  declares  she  will  be  an  old  maid, 
we  are  sure  that  she  will  come  "Down"  (s) 
from  her  pedestal.  Kitty  proves  to  us  the 
true  value  of  friendship  and  is  a  great  lover 
of  "Frank"  (ness).  Her  highest  ambition  is 
to  be  a  school  ma'rm,  and  though  we  doubt 
this,  we  wish  her  success.

"Still  the  wonder  i;rc7v  that  one  small 
head  could  carrv  all  she  knew." 

Sara  is  a  day  student,  coming  from  Manoa 
every  day.  It  is  a  long  ride  and  she  spends 
most  of  the  time  working  problems  in  arith- 
metic. This  is  easily  accounted  for,  as  her 
favorite  study  is  mathematics  in  any  shape 
or  size.  She  is  a  .graduate  of  Haverford 
Township  High  School  and  was  veledictorian 
of  her  class.  Notwithstanding  the  tact  that 
Sara  always  has  her  lessons  prepared  and  is 
never  late  for  classes,  she  is  always  ready 
for  a  little  fun,  much  to  the  sorrow  of  master 
of  study  hall  (sometimes).  "Sarey"  never 
gets  angry  or  loses  her  dignity,  but  if  you 
want  to  get  her  fussed  just  mention  "Smed." 
Her  many  friends  wish  her  unbounded  suc- 
cess and  happiness.

in  1914.  No  one  could  help  being  impressed 
by  her  beautiful  hair  and  mellow  brown  eyes. 
Her  gentle,  good-natured  manner  has  made 
a  wide  appeal.  .\  quiet,  unpretentious  girl, 
she  soon  entered  into  school  work  with  all 
earnestness.  Slowly  but  surely  she  made  her 
mark  in  all  that  was  mathematical.  Edna  is 
loved  by  those  who  know  her  intimately,  but 
she  prefers  keeping  her  circle  of  friends  few 
and  true.  Edna  greatly  enjoyed  her  prac- 
tice teaching  in  the  sixth  and  seventh  grades 
of  the  High  Street  School,  and  we  feel  sure 
that  she  will  make  an  excellent  teacher  in

"Rene"  is  one  of  those  dear  pudgy  little 
girls  who  is  always  willing  to  give  aid  to  a 
friend,  even  at  the  cost  of  inconvcniencingher- 
self.  She  has  a  sunny  disposition,  an  infect- 
ious laugh  and  indomitable  energy,  the  most 
of  which  she  lavishes  on  her  favorite  study — 
drawing — working  from  morning  till  night 
unceasingly. 

Her  ever  present  love  of  fresh  air  and  out- 
door life  has  won  for  her  the  honor  of  being 
called  •'a  good  sport"  by  her  friends.  She 
comes  from  the  Upper  Gwvnedd  High 
School  and  has  been  with  us  three  years. 

Her  cheery  presence  will  be  sincerely 
missed  by  all  her  friends  in  the  future.

"Oh,  dear!"  Can't  you  hear  her  say  it? 
Letha,  or  Leta,  as  she  is  sometimes  called, 
came  to  us  with  honors  from  Carbondale 
High  School.  She  is  fond  of  all  kinds  of 
school  work  and  is  successful  in  every 
branch.  But  much  might  be  said  on  both 
sides,  for,  although  she  works  when  it's  time 
tn  work,  she  can  play  when  its  time  to  play. 
She  takes  great  interest  in  games,  tennis  and 
walking,  especially  when  there  is  an  ob- 
ject in  view.  How  about  it,  Letha?  To 
be  sure,  she  believes  in  woman  suffrage, 
for  could  one  be  against  it,  who  was  once 
nicknamed  'Suffragette?"  We  are  sure  that 
slic  will  be  a  successful  teacher  if  she  does 
not  "piy  too  much  attention  to  certain  pu- 
pils." However,  if  matters  continue  to  be 
run  on  loose  principles,  we  feel  sure  that 
her  teacliing  profession  will  si.ion  be  ended.

"Dot"  has  a  sweet,  lovable  disposition  and

Why?  Well,  "Dot"  seems  to  spend  a 
great  number  of  her  week's  ends  at  home 
and  in  the  interim  she  is  always  looking  for 
certain  suspicious  looking  letters.  Here's

and  worthy  of  our  class  of  1016.  came  to  us

New  London  High  School  in  two  years  and 
has  completed  the  work  at  W.  C.  S.  N.  S.  in

persons  were  there  that  had  been  there,

that  her  brightest  star  will  shine  in  the  Latin

This  frail  little  girl  from  Pittsburgh  ar-

seemed  to  know  where  she  put  all  this  para- 
phernalia in  the  dormitory.  Helen  was  very 
fond  of  eating  at  all  hours,  particularly  in

Helen  boarded  up  town  in  her  Senior  year

a  vacant  minute  is  filled  with  this  wonderful 
Normal  remedy.  When  not  "indulging"  this 
motto  suits  her  well: 

Never  idle,  never  still; 

Always  embroiderin.g,  embroider  she  will. 

But  this  maid  is  also  studious  and  is  a 
shining  star  in  many  of  her  classes,  es- 
pecially Astronomy.  Music  is  another 
of  her  accomplishments,  and.  after  com- 
pleting a  course  at  Columbia  University, 
came  here  to  get  her  Normal  diploma,  that 
some  day  she  might  be  a  .great  and  widely 
known  instructor  of  music.  Best  wishes  for 
this  teaching  career,  bijt  we  do  not  think 
it  will  be  for  long.

"Never  idle,  never  still, 
.■ilzvays  talking,  talk  she  Zi'ill." 

When  this  dainty  little  golden-haired  miss 
grows  up  (?)  we  have  a  sneaky  suspicion  that 
she  will  continue  in  her  educational  field  of 
work  and  possi'bly  institute  a  course  in  "Ag." 
in  the  "Port"  schools.  Then  it  wdl  be  tnat 
the  younger  generation  will  be  unmercifully 
exposed  to  the  mysteries  of  Alfalfy  and 
Heridity. 

Besides  "Ag."  we  predict  a  very  prominent 
part  in  the  literature  course  for  Esther,  for 
liasn't  Dr.  Green  said  that  she  was  one  of 
the  best  read  girls  in  his  class. 

Esthei's  favorite  sport  is  foot  ball.  Not 
that  the  Normal  afifords  any  pastime  for  her 
in  this  line,  but  other  schools  may.  When 
asked  about  her  broad  grin  you  will  usu- 
ally  hear   the    same    reply:    "Oh,    'Port'   beat

Xei.i.ie  R.  McL.\ughlin.  .Fort  London,  Pa. 

"Who  is  this  maiden  with  the  independent 
air?"  Now  doesn't  she  look  calm  and 
angelic.  .'\h!  but  a  deal  of  mischief  lies  be- 
neath that  calm  exterior.  Her  room  is  the 
gathering  place  of  a  jolly  crowd  of  which 
she  is  the  centre  and  the  fountain-head  of 
the  fun  or  mischief  afoot. 

A  teacher  once  asked:  "Miss  McLaugh- 
lin, do  you  ever  smile?"  and  then  Nellie 
smiled — a  revelation!  She  is  so  busy  making 
others  laugh  that  she  hasn't  time  to  laugh 
herself. 

It  wouldn't  be  hard  to  cho-'se  Nellie's  fa- 
vorite study;  she  is  crazy  about  them  all(?). 

Nellie  is  fond  of  parties,  attending  a  great 
many  in   "Philly"   and  Hazleton. 

Nell  won't  teach  long;  no,  you  arc  right: 
we  expect  something  more  uni(|ue  from 
her,  such  a  specializing  in  music  or  ten- 
nis— eh,  Nelle?

"Brownie."' 

This  liylit-liaircd  maidc-n,  with  her  laugh- 
ing brown  eyes,  is  another  loyal  Ueiawan.ui. 
She  is  very  fona  of  music  and  she  often 
liurries  through  her  "iiiumenses"  and  "Ag." 
to  indulge  in  ])laying  her  mandolin,  much  to 
the  delight  of  her  friends.  Her  favorite  by- 
word is  "My  heart!"  Sometimes  when  she 
is  in  one  ot  her  very  thoughtful  moods  we 
wonder  if  the  trouble  really  is  her  heart. 
Aside  from  her  music  her  favorite  occupa- 
tion is  reading.  Her  tastes  vary  from  the  ac- 
counts of  the  "World's  Series"  to  the  latest 
novels.  Anotl.er  thing  she  is  very  fond  of 
doing  is  eating.  Evidently  she  would  rather 
eat  than  sleep,  for  never  has  she  Ijcen  known 
to  miss  even  on.;  breakfast.  Of  all  her  sub- 
jects,   she    likes    domestic    science    the    best.

Edith   C.   McMullen Richboro,   Pa. 

"Billie." 

Hello!  Here  comes  Edith,  laughing 
again;  now  we'll  sure  hear  another  good 
joke.  She  is  a  dear,  jolly  girl,  ami 
makes  friends  wherever  she  goes.  Edith 
was  graduated  from  the  Richboro  High 
School  in  1914,  and  entered  West  Chester 
Normal  the  following  Fall.  During  tlie 
time  spent  here  she  always  sei'med  happy 
and  contented.  While  here  her  favorite 
studies  were  Mathematics  and  History,  but 
Drawing  seemed  to  occupy  most  of  her 
spare  time,  much  contrary  to  her  likes. 
Billie,  when  in  High  School,  proved  her- 
self quite  an  athlete — base  ball,  bicycling  and 
horseback  riding  being  her  favorites.  We 
sincerely  hope  that  Edith  will  be  as  success- 
ful in  her  new  occupation.  Y.  W.  C.  A.

Eleanor   McOwen Oakford,    Pa. 

Eleanor  is  the  living  example  in  the  fa- 
mous Class  of  1916,  of  the  statement  that 
"fat  people  are  jolly  and  good  natured." 

Please,  don't  judge  her  by  this  picture,  for, 
in  spite  of  her  innocent  look,  she  is  very  wise. 
She  knows  her  lessons  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  she  reads  novels  or  goes  visiting  her 
friends  from  seven  to  ten  each  evening. 

She  is  very  unpretentious,  but  take  G.  M. 
P.'s  records  as  evidence  of  the  fact  that  she 
shines. 

Her  good  nature  knows  no  bounds.  She 
is  just  the  very  best  kind  of  a  sport.  Why 
she  would  give  you  anything  she  had,  but 
don't  ask  her  for  an  "Ag."  lesson  plan,  for 
she  has  no  such  thing  in  her  list  of  posses- 
sions.

Helen  stars  in  everything.  Her  favorite

light is  to  wander  under  the  open  in  search

song,    "Norman"-dy.

"Merce  "  is  an  inhabitant  of  the  noble  city 
of  Malvern,  and  each  day  braves  the  weather 
to  further  his  education.  He  is  a  graduate

Agriculture,  too,  lends  its  enchantments  to

will  see  Ralph  standin.g  in  the  midst  of  his

Yep,  this  is  "Til" — Matilda  Marie.  "Til"

and  most  any  time  you  can  hear  her 
laugh  in  recitation  hall  or  during  study  hour

from  her  own  room,  hence  her  squelchings

be  serious?"  If  they  saw  her  presiding  at

"Til"  is  generous,  unselfish  and  frank  from

short  distance.

beautifnl  black  cnrls-  She  soon  lost  her  shy-

If  she  may  be  said  to  have  any  favorite

She  enjoys  thoroughly  every  side  of  school

which  our  school  life  affords.  Her  friends

We  feel  that  Ella  wou.ld  make  a  good

Irene  excels  in  debating  and  drawing,  for 
she  captrred  the  first  prize  in  the  Aryan  ora-

dencies— well,  any  one  on  fourth  floor  can 
testify  that  she  is,  indeed,  a  "friend  in  need" 
alcng  that  line.  However,  one  thing  "Rene" 
can't  do  is  "she  can't  do  a  thing  with  her 
hair."  Irene's  Biblical  education  has  not 
been  neglected,  either,  for  she  frequently  and 
regularly  pours  ever  "Epistles  from  Paul." 
Another  sign  of  Irene's  genius  is  portrayed

burg  Normal,  so  you  see  she  has  had  a  wide 
experience  in   Normal   life. 

"Lil"  is  not  only  efficient  in  exercising  her 
mental  powers  but  also  in  exercising  her 
ever  busy  fingers,  for  her  crocheting  proves 
an   unending  pleasure. 

She  deli.ghts  in  athletics,  chief  of  which  is 
swimming.  Her  smiling  countenance, 
matchless  wit  and  some  "Welsh  Sighs"  are 
her  chief  characteristics. 

All  her  studies  prove  a  source  of  pleasure 
to  her,  but  the  one  we  hear  most  bout  is 
domestic  science,  and  what  new  idea  does 
this  give  us?  She  is  a  member  of  the  Aryan 
Society.

Curly  liair,  brown  eyes  and  a  pleasant 
smile  are  the  chief  cliaracteristics  of  our 
Betty.  Slic  is  one  of  the  ^irls  whom  one 
often  seeks  as  a  friend  but  seldom  finds. 

She  is  the  third  of  the  Moyer  family  to 
come  to  us  and  has  followed  nicely  in  the 
footsteps  of  her  elders.  She  is  a  bright  stu- 
dent and  excels  in  German. 

Midnight  feasts  have  no  horror  with  her. 
Her  chief  sport  is  a  foot  ball  game  and  she 
delights    in   attending   house  parties. 

.Mthough  "Betty"  has  made  up  her  mind 
to  teach  twenty  years,  we  doubt  it,  but  are 
sure  that  for  the  short  time  she  teaches  she 
will  earn  the  love  of  all  the  "kiddies."

Evelyn   Mover Lansdalc,   Pa. 

Evelyn  entered  our  ranks  in  the  fall  of 
1914  from  Lansdalc  High  School.  For  sport 
or  anything  that  promises  a  good  time,  she 
is  always  ready.  As  an  artist  she  excels. 
Music  also  wins  her  favor,  tor  she  has 
brought  her  Victrola  with  her,  tor  which  we 
are  all  thankful.  If  by  chance  you  wish  to 
find  her  between  seven  and  ten  it  will  not 
be  necessary  to  look  for  her  in  her  room,  for 
she  is  seldom  there  at  that  time.  Have  you 
ever  heard  ihis  just  before  supper?  "Girls, 
get  ready,  we're  going  for  a  walk,  the  fresh 
air  will  do  you  good."  This  will  prove  to  be 
Evelyn.  When  cleaning  day  comes,  lo  and 
behold!  the  "Dutch  cleanser"  appeareth  in

Here's  another  of  the  famous  trio  of  lo.v 
Since  her  arrival,  in  the  Fall  of  191.^.  Grace

111  friends,  both  in  the  main  buildinig  and 
Wayn.-  Hall,  who  all  agree  that  she  is  "just 
the  sweetest  girl."  Her  brilliant  recitations, 
especially  in  mathematics,  which  is  her  fav- 
orite study,  show  that  she  is  a  good  worker 
in  that  line  as  well.  Grace  says  her

She  is  hardly  ever  ciuiet  a  minute  and  her

she  is  never  down-hearted,  not  even  on  "blue

"Hey,  girls:  can  I  take  my  knitting?"  (and 
she  usuallv  does).  We  can  not  predict 
"Dot's"  future  occupation,  but  know  she  will 
always  find  something  to  keep  her  busy.  We 
would  advise  her  to  become  a  chaufifeur,  for 
she  can  most  admirably  run  many  machines, 
including  Fords  and  Maxwells:  but  if  she 
then  tires  of  this  we  think  she  will  look

\et  most  comical  at  other  times.  She  wor-

from  "flunking"  (ask  some  of  the  male  mem-

She  delights  in  early  morning  exercise — 
walking  or  running,  which? 

We  are  already  confident  of  her  success  as

she  forgets  the  breakfast  bell  at  six  and  that 
detested  7.4.S  class?  But  who,  short  of  a 
night  watchman,  can   be  alert  at  six?

"Betty." 

"There  is   no  scn'ice  like   hers 
Who  seri'cs  because  she  loz'es." 

"Betty"  came  to  us  from  Conshohocken 
High  School  in  191  j.  She  entered  school 
life  with  all  the  earnestness  and  enthusiasm 
so  characteristic  of  her  nature,  and  was  soon 
recognized  by  both  teachers  and  students  as 
a  very  bright  and  capable  person. 

"Betty"  is  very  fond  of  mathematics  and 
public  speaking,  having  appeared  many  times 
on  our  platform  either  to  recite  or  make 
speeches.  She  has  a  great  future  predicted 
for  her  as  a  lecturer  on  the  public  platform. 
Success   to  you,   "Betty." 

She  is  never  happier  than  when  she  is  help- 
ing others,  and  many  cases  "of  blues"  have 
been  dispelled  by  her  happy  smile  and  cheer- 
ing words.     Y.  W.   C.  A.      Moore

Catharine  Jane,  one  of  our  "Young"  day 
students,  came  to  us  from  Downingtown  and 
declares  it  the  best  town  in  the  State.  She  is 
known  to  her  friends  as  "Reddy"  and  is  fre- 
quently heard  to  say,  "Drjn't  worry,  girls; 
red  hair  is  the  sign  of  brilliant  people."  She 
is  exceedingly  absent-minded  and  after  tell- 
ing her  a  long  story,  she  will  say,  ''What's 
that?     I   didn't  hear  what  you  said." 

She  is  a  lover  of  art  and  may  be  foinid 
during  her  spare  moments  in  the  drawing 
room  where  she  is  making  a  study  of  cat 
tails.  Mathematics  is  her  favorite  study,  and 
she's  a  "shark"  in  soHd.  But  she  is  also  in- 
terested in  domestic  science  and.  on  cook- 
ing days,  she  hurries  to  that  department  to 
see  if  they  made  anything  good.

"Betty." 

Our  "Betty"  popped  into  the  Normal  three 
years  ago  from  the  little  town  of  Chesapeake 
City.  She  is  as  happy  as  the  day  is  long,  hav- 
ing the  Pollyanna  nature.  Every  one  knows 
it  is  "Betty,"  when  they  hear  some  one  sing- 
ing or  talking,  while  coming  down  the  hall. 
Her  old  excuse  when  some  one  wants  her  to 
go  out  is,  "Oh!  Pm  too  busy.  I  just  must 
go   to  the  library  to-night. 

Agriculture  has  taken  on  a  new  aspect  for 
her:  it  has  a  clearer  meaning — she  is  especi- 
ally interested  in  silos  and  their  contents, 
and  would  rather  look  at  them  irom  a  flash- 
light standpoint  than  from  a  class-room 
point    of    view.

Such  was  our  friend  and  classmate,  known 
by  all  as  "Molly,"  always  ready  with  a  help- 
ing hand.  Whenever  any  one  had  difficulties 
to  solve  or  secrets  to  share  they  often  came 
to  her  for  advice,  wliether  it  be  concerning 
school,  business  or  even  more  sensational

One  bright  September  morning,  in  1912,

graduated  from  McCann's  business  College 
in  191 — ,  and  having  assisted  in  that  school 
for  a  short  time,  she  had  made  a  very  gond 
beginning  in  her  business  career.  Accord- 
ingly, she  became  an  able  assistant  of  our 
Steward  before  she  was  a  student  very  long.

row." Nevertheless  she  always  gets  there 
in  the  nick  of  time.  We  are  proud  of  Ruth's 
voice,  and  that  she  has  one  can  be  testified 
to  by  her  friends  and  roommates.  Her  great 
ambition  is  some  day  to  become  a  great 
opera  singer.  Although  Ruth  says  she  is 
going  to  teach,  from  her  expert  skill  in  do- 
mestic science,   we  have   our  doubts.

Jessie  L.  R.min Burlington,   N.  J. 

Burlington  may  well  be  proud  of  such  a 
representative  as  "Jess"  in  the  Class  of  '16. 
Everybody  knows  her:  also,  her  visits  during,

"Jess"  is  one  of  the  most  industrious  mem- 
bers of  our  class,  especially  along  the  line 
of  crocheting,  but  when  it  comes  to  cleaning, 
ask  her  twin  sister.  She  is  always  "game" 
for  every  good  time  that  comes  along 
and  every  midnight  feast.  .As  to  les- 
sons— well,  she's  just  naturally  bright,  as 
her  classmates  say,  after  listening  to  some  of 
her  brilliant  recitations  and  seeing  some  of 
her  good  grades.  Next  year  she  expects  to 
join  the  great  army  of  school  teachers,  but 
from  some  things  we  hear  from  public  speak- 
ing class  we  see  "Jess"  in  the  future  as  a 
great  orator,  advancing  the  cause  of  wo- 
man's suffrage  in  New  Jersey.

school  work.  This  most  accomplished  maid 
has  taken  an  aptitude  for  Agriculture.

be  so  concerned  about  such  a  practical  sub-

"Sig." 

"Well.  I'm  back  again,"  This  was  Lelia's 
greeting  last  March  'because,  having  been 
so  very  ambitious,  she  attended  Millersville 
a  year  before  coming  here  and  thus  spent  a 
shorter  time  than  most  of  us  at  WestChester 
Normal.  It  is  more  usual  to  heur  Lelia  say 
"Good-night!  You  should  have  been  at 
Sorority  meeting  on  Saturday  afternoon;  it 
was  wonderful!"  than  "What  did  you  think 
of  society  on  Saturday  evening?"  because 
she  has  not  often  condescended  to  show  her 
talent  in  social  organizations  here  at  school. 
But  she  has  shown  that  she  is  a  Latin 
genius,  besides  other  remarkable  things  too 
numerous  to  mention.  So  we  can  surely 
know  that  our  wishes  will  be  granted  if  we

mite  more  solemn.  "Susie"  is  know-n  by  her 
hearty  lau.gh,  and  when  is  she  not  in  for  a 
good  time?  No  one  but  the  faculty  and  her 
roommate  knows  what  a  good  student  she  is, 
however,  and  how  earnestly  she  does  her 
duty.  She  claims  to  be  a  man-hater,  but  just 
ask  her  about  Moorestown.  New  Jersey,  to 
prove  this  false.  Susan  is  kind.  and.  though 
not  afTectionate.  is  beloved  by  all.  We

as  long  as  she  claims.

Not  that  Marian  resembles  the  above-

"To  kiio'^'  her  is  to  lo-rc  her." 

This  little  and  demure  lassie  hails  from 
South  Bethlehem.  All  adjectives  in  the  su-

can  be  applied  without  exaggeration  to

same  cannot  be  said  of  her  intellectual  pow- 
ers, for  she  has  a  wise  and  sensible  head. 
She  is  very  fond  of  Latin  and  delights  in 
reading  "Homer."  Her  aim  and  ideal  in  life 
is  to  teach  school  until  she  has  earned  enough 
money  to  buy  a  little  farm  and  some  cows

!\I.\KTHA    RoGEu.s Selbvville,    Del. 

This  is  one  of  our  bright  industrious  Dela- 
ware girls  who  came  to  us  fnuii  Selbyville. 
.\sk  her  for  a  detailed  account  of  Delaware's 
virtues  and  she  is  sure  to  give  you  a  favor- 
able reply.  That  she  is  both  conscientious 
and  studious  we  are  sure,  for  whenever  you 
go  to  her  room  you  always  find  her  with  a 
physics  book,  diligently  solving  problems. 

She  is  a  jolly  little  midget,  scarcely  five 
feet  in  height  and  brimful  of  mischief,  but  is 
a  true  friend  always  ready  to  help  you  out 
and  a  good  all-round  girl,  whose  favorite 
sport  is  driving  a  large  Overland  car.  In 
music  she  is  quite  talented  and  we  prophesy 
for  her  a  bright  future  in  that   Hue.

"Iiuwtiiisiiiisliablc  laii_i;hlcr." 

Behold  the  "one"  whose  laugh  hath  made 
her  famous.  "Squelchings"  don't  do  a  bit  of 
good,  she  giggles  right  on.  She  finds  her 
deepest  interest  in  the  realms  of  Domestic 
Science.  Yum,  yum,  those  pies!  Did  you 
ever  taste  them,  boys?  It  is  impossible  for 
me  to  confine  myself  to  one  of  Sara's  sports, 
as  she  indulges  in  many,  but  especially  enjoys 
strawrides  in  the  moonlight  with  "Chick"  by 
her  side.  She  has  a  peculiar  fondness  for 
Dickinson  and  her  room  overflows  with  pic- 
tures and  other  reminders  of  some  mys- 
terious "Bob."  Sara,  although  jolly,  can  be 
serious  and  solemn  as  an  owl,  when  occasion 
demands  it,  and  her  guileless  expression 
when  almost  cau.ght  in  some  forbidden 
revelry  is  most  convincing  of  her  innocence. 

We  all  know,  from  her  personality  and  ac- 
complishments that  she  will  make  a  success-

years  of  industrious  study  at  Radnor  HIkIi

supply  of  chcerfijlness  and  a  sweet,  sunny 
disposition.  During  her  two  years  with  us 
she  has  lived  up  to  her  High  School  attain-

lier  of  our  basket  ball  team  and  also  an  en- 
thusiastic rooter  at  the  'Varsity  games.  She 
is  an  active  worker  in  class  and  society  af-

Mariana  B.  Satterthwaite,  \'ardley,  Pa. 
"Pete." 

In  the  Fall  of  1913,  Mariana  came  to  the 
Normal  from  Yardley  High.  When  she  had 
become  accustomed  to  boarding  school  life, 
she  entered  with  vim  into  the  good  times  of- 
fered here. 

A'lariana  is  interested  in  all  kinds  of  sports 
such  as  swimming,  dancing,  skating,  playing 
tennis,  and  last,  but  not  least,  in  riding.  Dur- 
ing the  long,  pleasant  summer  atternoons  in 
vaction  she  may  be  seen  riding  or  driving 
her  pony,  "Di.\ie,"  over  some  of  the  good 
old  roads  in  Bucks  county.  Sometimes  she 
rides  back  of  some  body  else's  "Di.xie,"  and 
isn't  alone  either. 

Mariana  is  a  member  of  the  .\ryan  So- 
ciety, and,  I  think,  in  future  years,  will  be 
glad  to  come  back  to  visit  this  society  and 
dear  old  Normal.

Grace    Savage Uwchland,    Pa. 

We  might  in  this  instance  reconstruct  the 
old  adage  that  "music  hath  charms  to  soothe 
the  savage  breast,"  and  make  it  to  suit  our 
purpose,  "Music  hath  charms  to  soothe  when 
made  by  the  'Savage'  voice." 

Grace  is  more  generally  known  as  the 
Jenny  Lind  of  her  class,  willing  to  lend  her 
voice  on  any  necessary  occasion,  but  those 
who  know  her  best,  know  that  her  voice  is 
only  one  of  the  possessions  which  are  con- 
stantly at  the  disposal  of  anybody,  from  hair- 
dressing  to  musical  instruction. 

Though  not  naturally  a  superstitious  girl, 
yet  Grace  is  a  great  believer  in  the  rule  of 
threes,  whether  it  be  knocks  or  taps,  or  writ- 
ten  in   mysterious   hieroglyphics.

"Sloiv  but  sure.'' 

Lo!  a  bonnie  Reading  lassie!  Ruth's  talk, 
altliough  very  slow,  still  always  amounts  to 
somethin.g.  Many  think  her  to  be  c|uiet  but 
they  change  their  opinions  when  they  see  her 
"dancing  around."  Her  greatest  desire  is  to 
be  a  musician,  but  we  fear,  "Rutnie,"  from 
what  we  see,  that  you  are  destined  to  be  an 
artist  (?).  One  of  the  first  among  her  many 
accomplishments  is  her  ability  in  gym.  She 
can  always  be  seen  towering  above  the  rest 
of  the  class  and  is  distinguished  by  her  quick 
(?)  movements.  Ruth  Serena  also  has  a 
carrying  voice  as  the  iieople  on  fourth  floor

"Tears,  idle  teurs." 

"Flo"  is  one  of  the  best  natured  girls  at 
Normal,  but  is  very  easily  moved  to  tears.  .\ 
mere  suggestion  of  something  "weepy"  will 
cause  the  tears  to  flow.  She  surely  will  need 
some  one's  broad  shoulder  to  weep  upon. 

She  is  very  much  devoted  to  the  high  arts, 
and   perspective   is   her   chief  delight. 

We  really  do  not  expect  to  see  her  teach 
very  long  in  that  little  red  school  house  over

fast  from  that  young  man  from  Souderton.

Junior  year  her  hall  teacher  threatened  not

Last  year  she  seemed  to  be  a  quiet  and  un-

we  have  come  to  know  her  better,  we  find 
that  she  has  lost  some  of  her  bashfulness. 
Perhaps  this  h  due  to  the  fact  that  she  is 
taking  a  course  in  Nature  Study,  which  has 
developed  her  power  of  observation  along 
certain  lines.  Estella  can  often  be  seen  wan- 
dering over  to  the  Library.  Now,  can  it  be 
possible  that  such  a  public  place  could  hold 
an  attraction  for  her?  Of  late  she  has  been

they  were  on  her  hall.  She  is  a  great 
gymnastic  enthusiast,  and  we  e.xpect  her 
young  pupils  to  be  thoroughly  trained 
along  that  line.  Mary  "Simp"  is  very 
modest,  and  when  she  is  praised  always 
incpiires,  "Say,  where  do  you  want  it?"  She 
Iiris  nothing  to  do  with  our  Normal  fellows, 
but   we  think  there  is  some  one  at  home.

Eva  Skillhiirn,  who  is  known  among  licr 
most  intimate  friemls  as  "Bet-,"  entered  West 
Chester  State  Normal  School  in  September,

Julia  J.   Slack Yardley,   Pa. 

"Shulie." 

Julia  came  to  Normal  from  Yardley  High 
School  in  the  fall  of  1914.  She  is  a  very 
bright  girl,  with  brown  hair  and  brown  eyes, 
and  a  cheerful  disposition,  always  lending  a 
helping  hand  to  every  one.  She  takes  a  great 
interest  in  her  lessons,  and  shines  like  a  star 
in  her  classes.  She  is  also  a  member  of  the 
Educational  Association.  Her  great  delight 
in  her  future  life  is  to  be  a  school  teacher, 
but  of  course  we  all  know  that  she  will  not 
indulge  in  that  occupation  very  long  if  a 
member  of  the  opposite  sex  can  prevent  it. 
She  is  very  fond  of  dancing  and  singing  and 
we  could  always  tell  when  she  was  coming 
down  the  hall  when  we  heard  her  voice. 
She  is  fond  of  skating  and  playing  tennis,

Mabel  Sara  Slutter.  . .  .East  Bangor,  Pa. 

"A   daughter  of  persistence .  quite  tall. 
And   most   divinely  fair." 

Usually  after  dinner  one  may  hear  Sara 
e.xclaim;  "Oh!  I'm  so  full  of  laughing.  I 
guess  they  thought  me  crazy,  for  I  just 
laughed  all  dinner  time,  with  nothing  to  laugli 
about."  The  most  liberal  answer  to  any  c|ues- 
tions  you  may  ask  concerning  her  jovial  mood 
is:  "O,  hen!  Something  just  struck  me 
funny."  But  knowing  her  well  you  may 
rightly  conclude  just  such  a  spell  is  a  sequel 
to  a  letter  from  Mack  or  Doc.  or  some  other 
fictitious  character,  even  to  her  most  inti- 
mate friend.  Sara's  creed — not  a  moment  to 
waste— makes  her  as  true  to  books  as  to 
pleasure  and  recreation.  A  favorite  quota- 
tion:

seems  to  be  verified  by  his  frequent  visits  to

Charles  Lewis  Spindler  spends  his  spare 
time  at  Parksville,  a  city  known  tor  its  great 
men.  Charles  is  a  well  known  astronomer. 
I'wo  years  ago  he  discovered  a  Starr  un- 
known to  all  astronomers.  His  discovery 
was  not  due  to  mathematical  calnclations,  but 
to  his  wonderful  power  of  observation. 
Charles  named  this  Starr  (who  is  visible  to 
the  people  of  West  Chester  during  the 
months  of  March,  April.  May  and  June) 
Esther.  It  is  hoped  by  Charles  that  this 
Starr  will  change  her  orbit  within  the  next 
five  years.  If  this  takes  place  she  will  be 
visible  to  the  people  of  Parkersville  during

Yes,  this  is  Clara,  otherwise  known  as 
'"Taint,"  one  of  the  twins  who  joined  our

when  she  isn't  talking,  she's  generally  gig- 
gling. Clara  sees  the  funny  side  of  every-

please  everybody  and  can  be  frequently  heard

Helen   C.   Swaverly.  . .  .Pedrickstown,  Pa. 

This  charming  maid  came  to  us  from  Ped- 
ricktown,  N.  J.,  although  she  is  a  graduate 
of  the  Pennsgrove  High  School.  She  is 
very  studious  and  her  knowledge,  which  she 
so  willingly  passes  on  to  her  fellow  students, 
is  unfathomable.  Yet  with  it  all  she  keeps 
her  charms  and  graciousness  of  manner. 
She  takes  great  interest  in  Gym.  (Jim),  and 
her  favorite  studies  are  sewing  and  cooking. 
Helen  has  a  tendency  to  oversleep  the 
l)reakfast  hour,  but  she  is  always  sup- 
plied with  breakfast — for  the  solution  of 
this  mystery  examine  her  coat  pockets 
after  the  supper  of  the  night  before. 
She  is  an  ardent  supporter  of  the 
Suffrage  cause,  and  very  loyally  joined  their 
parade — indeed  her  enthusiasm  was  so  great 
that  a  "young  spike"  in  the  heel  of  her 
shoe  did  not  daunt  her.

from  Newtown  S(|nare  High  School,  where 
she  graduated  with  lionors.  Did  some  one  say 
Katherine  was  quiet?  Look  closer  and

while  coming  up  on  the  car,  .  and  always 
does  her  part  to  keep  things  going.  She  is

ments are  spent  faithfully  experimenting  in

"An  earl,  an  earl,  iiiv  kini^clom  for  an  earl!" 

Boyertown  High  School  sent  Beulah  to 
us.  We  found  her  quiet  and  unassuming 
but  with  a  big  broad  smile  ready  for  any 
who  might  have  the  rare  good  fortune  to 
call  it  forth.  Beulah  has  always  been  inter- 
ested in  Agriculture,  in  fact  we  think  it  her 
favorite  study.  If  you  should  suddenly  enter 
her  room  some  study  period  you  would  most 
probably  find  her  with  an  ".\g.'"  book  (sup- 
plemented by  notes  from  State  College)  in 
one  hand,  contentedly  munching  a  sweet 
potato,  smuggled  from  the  dinmg  room  be- 
neath the  very  eyes  of  the  "Major."  The 
gleam  in  her  big  dark  eyes  predicts  a  life 
more  full  than  that  of  an  ordinary  peda- 
gogue and  her  aspirations  warrant  the  pre- 
diction.

favorite  pastime  and  enables  her  to  en- 
lighten her  city  friends  on  the  beauties  of

takes. .According  to  her  present  capabili-

We  owe  to  Fra/cr  High  School  the  mem- 
ber of  our  class  we  all  know  as  ''Tominie." 
For  three  years  she  has  been  acquiring 
knowledge  at  the  West  Chester  State  Nor- 
mal School.  She  seems  especially  interested 
in  Grammar,  that  being  her  favorite  subject. 
"Tommie"  did  splendid  in  the  dance  in  the 
third  year  play,  due  no  doubt  to  her  physi- 
cal training  during  that  year.  Though  she 
has  had  many  invitations  to  take  her  meals 
in  the  dining  room,  she  still  is  satisfied  to 
carry  her  lunch  with  her  to  school.  It

"Peg"  spends  hours  in  the  gymnasium,  so

her  favorite  expression  is  "Well,  wouldn't 
that  make  you  sick!"  When  asked  what  she 
is  going  to  do  after  graduation  she  says, 
"Teach,  to  be  sure!"  "Bee"  is  the  jolliest 
and  kindest  of  girls,  and  once  her  friend

"Who  is  that  tall,  light-haired  girl  who  is 
often  heard  in  our  halls.  Yes,  Helen  is  tall 
and  she  is  light-haired,  but  she  is  much  more 
than  this.  To  begin  with,  she  is  lots  of  fun 
and  a  terrible  tease.  She  is  intelligent,  for 
she  can  argue  with  the  faculty,  and  she  can 
teach  drawing,  for  Miss  Groome  said  so. 
Besides  she  can  play  tennis  and  she  can 
swim.  She  can  play  the  piano,  crochet  and 
embroider.  In  fact,  there  is  little  she  can- 
not do.  Didn't  she  even  capture  a  bald- 
headed  mm?

"Billie,"  a  dark-haired,  dark-eyed  maiden, 
came  to  us  after  complelin.g  her  course  in 
Seaford  High  School,  Delaware.  She  has 
spent  two  years  with  us,  and  although  loving 
a  good  time  she  never  neglects,  her  studies 
to  have  it.  Ruby  says  she  will  teach,  but  we 
wonder  how  long,  fnr  she  is  often  heard  to 
sav,  "Good  night!"  "I  wish  I  were  home!" 
No  doubt  this  is  so.  for  she  surely  receives 
a  lot  of  mail  from  Delaware.  Her  favorite 
study  is  Public  Speaking,  and  she  may  some 
day  be  a  great  orator,  but  not  on  Woman 
.Suffrage,  for  "Billie"  thinks  that  woman's 
place  is  in  the  home.  But  again  there  is  a 
reason  for  this,  and  also  for  her  interest  and 
skill  in  Domestic  Science.

sey's contributions.  Dick  dropped  in  with 
us  in  1914.  after  graduating  from  Cape  May 
High  School.  Dennisville  evidently  has 
some  happy  hunting  grounds  around  it,  be- 
cause Dick  likes  to  tell  of  various  hunting 
trips.  There  must  be  some  "game"  in  the 
surrounding  country  of  West  Chester  also, 
else  why  those  long  walks  to  the  wood?  We 
might  explain  it  by  the  fact  that  he  is  fond 
of  nature  study,  but  we  are  inclined  to  think 
that  there  is  a  Sliort(y)er  reason.  W'e  find 
Dick  to  be  a  faithful  student;  but  no  mischief 
i)r  joke  passes  by  without  his  participation. 
.\mong  the  various  professions,  he  prefers

High  School  in  the  remote  past.  Ethel  is  a 
connoisseur  of  antiquated  traveling  bag- 
gage. Ask  to  see  the  famous  trunk  of 
this  collection.  It  dates  back  to  55  B.  C, 
when  her  very  greatest  grandparents  took 
one  of  Caesar's  tours  through  Britain.  She 
is  blessed  with  the  happy  faculty  for  break- 
ing resolutions  as  promptly  as  she  makes 
them,  but  she  is  strong  for  votes  for  women. 
Nothing  ever  phases  Ethel.  She  is  as  calm 
as  a  "mauderin  sipping  his  tea,"  when  the 
rest  of  us  may  be  fussed  to  death.  Never- 
theless she  is  always  the  same  amiable  girl.

Marian  Joyce Atlantic  City.  X.  J. 

"Good  folks  arc  sciinc.  take  care  of  mc." 

Marian  is  indeed  almost  an  ideal  young 
lady.  Not  too  much  immersed  in  study,  nor 
yet  too  much  occupied  in  social  activities. 
She  is  a  splendid  example  of  the  happy  medi- 
um. Diligently  she  pursues  the  "Even  tenor 
of  her  ways."  Few  young  people  have  such 
an  abundant  supply  of  good  sense  and  many 
wayward  and  sinful  lassies  have  been 
brought  back  to  the  straight  and  narrow 
path  by  her  .good,  sound  advice.  Marian  is 
not  a  "Goodie-goodie,"  however,  far  from  it. 
But  her  only  serious  fault  is  her  inability  to 
decide  cm  which  side  of  the  suffrage  fence 
she  belongs.  Member  of  F.duralK  mal  \smi

Mary  E.  Laws West  Chester,  Pa. 

"Full  many  a  gem  of  purest  ray  serene. 
The    dark    unfathomcd   caz-cs    of    ocean 
bear : 
And  many  a   iloiccr  is   born.'  to  blush  un- 
seen . 
Anil  leaste   its  sweetness   on   the   ileserl 
air." 

Mary  came  to  us  from  the  "Wilds  of  Ches- 
ter '  Heights,"  and  the  Media  High 
School.  She  htilds  her  own  well  in  every- 
thing but  chemistry  and  art.  These  are 
Mary's  words: — 

"If  any  choice  should  rest  with  me. 
Then  give  me  death,  not  chemistry." 


Jane    B.    Taylor .

"faith   and  she  cuts  a  laper." 

Noise — l)iff.  bang,  bing — that's  Jane.  We 
hear  her  clear  from  first  floor.  To  talk  is 
her  delight  from  morning  until  night:  for 
girls  may  talk  and  rrirls  may  stop,  but  Jane 
talks  on  forever.  The  only  tmie  she  was 
ever  known  to  keep  quiet  voluntarily  was  in 
German  class.  "There's  a  reason."  We 
need  only  to  converse  with  her  to  know  that 
she  is  always  ready  for  fun.  Did  you  ever 
see  her  while  she  was  really  studying?  Her 
eyes  fairly  dance  with  mischief  and  there  is 
always  "something  doin.g"  when  Jane  is 
around.  Wlm  spilled  sugar  on  the  hall  and 
rough-housed  the  other  girls'  rooms?"  Jane!

As  the  leaves  say  good-bye  to  the  Mother  tree, 
And  are  carried  by  the  wind  o'er  land  and  sea, 
So  we  say  farewell  to  yon,  school  so  dear, 
And  face  the  world  with  kindlv  cheer.

Four  years  of  happy  life  we'\e  spent 
Inside  your  walls  with  heart  content. 
Four  years  you  have  taught  us  what  to  do, 
'i'o  make  us  noble,  good  and  true.

Scinietimes  we  may  ha\e  seemed  to  fail. 
And  think  your  work  of  no  a\ail. 
Sometimes  your  advice  we  did  not  take. 
And  broke  your  law  for  pleasure's  sake. 

IV 

Slowly  but  surely  you  found  a  way 
To  show  us  the  right  without  delay. 
Ever  for  us  your  work  was  wrought, 
To  lead  us  on  to  the  goal  we  sought. 

V 
Now  at  last  your  task  is  o'er, 
And  we  may  be  called  to  a  foreign  shore. 
But  where'er  we  l>e,  whether  far  or  near. 

W'e  will  ne\-er  forget  you,  .school  so  dear.

We'll  remember  you  with  thoughts  serene. 
Who  made  us  the  class  of  old  sixteen; 
When  very  hard  our  work  may  seem 
We'll  think  of  \-ou  and  "h'ollow  the  Gleam."

^^^^  WENTY  years  have  come  and  gone  since  our  illustrious  class  of 

I  igi6  graduated  from  the  West  Chester  State  Normal  School. 

^^^        Although  many  things  stood  out  in  mv  memory,  I  had  almost 

forgotten  a  great  number  of  old  friends  and  events  until  my 

dream  of  last  night.     What  a  wonderful  dream  that  was !     It  seemed  as 

though  I  were  standing  on  a  high  balcony  observing  a  pageant  passing  by. 

Each  event  was  one  of  my  former  happy  days  at  "Xormal." 

The  idea  occurred  to  me  that  the  events  written  in  order  would  be 
almost  good  enough  for  a  class  history.  I  heartily  wished  I  had  had 
something  like  that  when  I  had  to  write  the  class  history,  'way  back  there 
in  'i6. 

Any  way  this  dream  did  me  a  great  fleal  of  good  in  that  it  refreshed 
my  memory  and  caused  me  to  live  through  and  enjoy  again  the  good 
times  of  my  school-days. 

First  of  all,  the  standard  floated  along, — our  banner  of  red  and 
black,  with  a  g'old  and  silver  fringe, — invisil)Ie  in  't6  but  seemingly  in- 
vincible in  '36.  Close  I>ehind  canre  the  ring-l)earer,  a  large  "Lady"  with 
a  tray  of  various  golden  rings  and  pins.  Following  this,  there  appeared 
a  little  lx)y,  drawing  a  cart  filled  with  flowers  of  great  assortment. 
Among  them  there  were  sun-flowers,  brown-eyed  Susans,  butter-cups, 
and  last,  but  far  from  least.  Jacqueminot  roses. 

The  next  attraction  was  a  long  snake-like  formation  of  whooping 
Indians,  shotting  arrows  here  and  there.  Then  I  recalled  our  class  play 
and  the  many  pleasant  though  perspiring  hours  on  South  Campus. 

All  seemed  blank  for  quite  a  while,  when  swiftly  but  distinctly  came 
four  glittering,  golden  apples  rolling  along  the  Road  of  Class  Opinion. 
The  apples  were  engraved  respectively  with  President,  Vice-President, 
Secretary  and  Treasurer.  Suddenly  thev  come  to  a  fork  in  the  road.  One 
road  was  crowded  with  individuals  bearing  a  banner  with  "Moore"  upon 
it,  and  the  other  with  similar  individuals  with  an  ".\ryan"  bamier. 

.\  skirmi.sh  ensued.  Each  party  seemed  to  be  struggling  for  the 
apples.     Finally  the  turmoil  ceased  and  the  procession  moved  quietly 


rOC: 


THE      SERPENTINE 


My  attention  was  then  called  to  a  cloud-like  mass  from  which  flashed 
books,  alumni  funds,  bronze  tablets,  victrolas,  flag-poles,  busts,  and 
sun-dials. Tile  clamor  seemed  to  continue  with  little  abatement.  Pres- 
ently my  pity  was  aroused  by  a  meek  looking  little  figure,  clad  in  a  solemn 
cap  and  gown.  It  was  l>eing  sadly  beaten  and  abused  by  the  mob  and  its 
sui>porters  seemed  unable  to  protect  it.  Suddenly  it  disappeared  into  a 
hole  in  tlie  grcjund. 

Then  came  dim  representations  of  a  sleigh-ride,  a  trip  to  Washing- 
ton and  finally  "State  Board."  The  end  of  the  pageant  came  as  a  glori- 
ous Aurora  Borealis,  with  "Commencement"  on  a  huge  placard  in  the 
midst.  I  seemed  to  live  again  the  ecstacy  of  the  Alumni  Banquet.  This 
must  have  proved  too  much  for  me,  because  I  awoke.  At  first  I  could  not 
realize  such  a  span  of  years  had  elapsed,  and  my  reveries  of  school  days 
slowly  merged  into  slumber  again.  Irene  Randall.

So  record  satisfactorily  the  events  of  the  Class  of  Nineteen  Hun- 
dred and  Seventeen,  which  is  the  larg'est  class  in  the  history  of 
West  Chester  State  Normal  School  and  to  describe  adequately 
the  blooming  (?)  genius  (both  constructive  and  destructive) 
which  has  made  the  Junior  Class  recognized  in  Normal,  is  not,  indeed,  an 
easy  undertaking. 

From  the  beginning  we  have  been  a  popular  factor  in  every  field  of 
Normal  activity.  Our  athletic  ability  was  first  demonstrated  by  our 
g'irls'  strong  basket  ball  team  defeating  the  Seniors ;  again  a  number  of 
our  boys  made  the  scrub  basket  ball  team,  and,  not  content  with  this, 
are  at  present  aspiring  for  prominence  as  base  ball  stars.  Was  not  our 
athletic  ability  shown  in  the  indoor  meet  ?  In  the  Literary  Societies  we 
have  been  conspicuous  and.  also,  in  the  V.  W.  and  Y.  ^I.  we  have  stood 
out  prominently. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  event  of  our  class  will  be  the  Shakes- 
pearean Festival. 

Such  have  been  the  chief  events  of  our  Junior  year.  It  has  been  a 
year  of  joy  and  prosperity  and  one  whose  history  we  will  always  be  glad 
to  recall.  We  have  worked  and  become  a  factor  in  the  Normal  life.  In 
an  attempt  to  take  part  in  the  order  of  tilings  we  have  desired  the'respect 
of  the  other  classes  and  believe  we  have  secured  it.. 

Proud  of  our  class  thus  far  in  its  history,  we  realize  that  much  of 
the  success  which  may  l)e  ours  in  our  life  work  we  shall  have  to  attribute 
to  our  .\lma  Mater,  and  we  shall  do  all  in  our  power  to  aid  in  her  growth 
and  progress.  Jaxe  L.  R.\hn.

instruction,  inspiration  and  enthnsiasni  which  the  oirls  carried  awa\-  with 
tluni,  they  have  tried  to  pass  on  to  other  girls  dnrin'j;  the  vear. 

A  most  helpful  service  is  that  done  liy  the  Membership  Committee 
durin;.;'  the  summer.  .Ml  of  us  rememher  that  warm  feeling-  we  had 
toward  those  we  were  about  to  know,  when  some  time  before  we  entered 
the  school,  we  received  a  kind  note  from  a  V.  W.  C.  .\.  girl  welcoming 
us  to  the  schoi)]  and  to  the  >'.  W".  C.  -\.  Then,  as  we  stepped  in  the  door, 
how  glail  you  were  to  ha\e  si me  stranger.  \et  frieml,  to  help  vmi  to  find 
your  way  about  the  schnnl. 

On  the  I'riday  follow  ing  tlie  registration  a  reception  was  held  on 
South  Campus.  A  warm  welcome  was  extended  and  all  seemed  to  enter 
into  a  happy  spirit  of  iniion. 

'I'he  religious  meetings  were  held  each  Ihursdav  e\'ening.  Some  of  our 
most  hel])ful  ones  have  been  student  meetings,  and  others  with  a  speaker 
in  charge.  We  have  been  glad  to  welcome  nianv  interesting  and  helpful 
speakers  into  our  midst.  .Nmong  these  are  Miss  Jessie  Field,  Miss  Edith 
M.  Dabb,  Miss  Eleanor  Richardson  and  Rev.  Gsorge  T.  Berry.  On 
Sunday  evenings  we  hold  ioint  meetings  with  the  \'.  M.  C.  .K. 

The  business  of  the  .\ssociation  is  transacted  in  the  monthh'  cabinet 
meetings,  except  some  special  matters,  which  are  ])rought  before  the  whole 
.\ssociation.  The  Cabinet  consists  of  the  four  officers,  tiigether  with  the

ulty and  ten  Senior  girls.  Before  leadinj^-  the  study  in  the  class,  these 
ten  g'irls  met  for  stutly  once  a  week  under  Mrs.  Starkey's  leadershij). 
The  Mission  Study  classes  were  led  by  five  Senior  girls.  Under  Mission 
Study  an  eight-week  club  class  of  one  hundred  eig'ht  enrolled  members 
was  organized  under  the  leadershij)  of  Professor  A.  D,  Cromwell. 

.\s  this  year  was  the  fiftieth  anni\  ersary  of  the  Association  through- 
out the  United  States,  we  entered  gladly  into  the  sjjirit  of  the  jubilee. 
The  Social  and  l-'inance  Committees  planned  together  a  h'rolic  in  the 
"g"vm."  This  started  our  Jtvbilee.  and  before  the  bTolic  was  over,  we 
found  ourseh'es  alreach-  "Jubilized."  During  the  month  of  February, 
special  Jubilee  meetings  \\  ere  held  each  Thursday  evening,  and  many  were 
given  the  opportunity  to  make  those  metings  a  success. 

February  26  and  the  Jubilee  Luncheon  soon  came.  To  the  Bunch- 
eon,  members  of  the  National  Board,  of  the  Field  Committee,  two  hun- 
dred fifty  Caliinet  girls  of  former  years  and  all  of  the  present  members 
were  in\-ited.  One  hundred  thirty  res])onded  to  the  invitation.  Lunclieoti 
was  served  at  2  P.^M.  in  the  Normal  School  dining  room,  which  was  deco- 
rated with  pennants,  blue  hyacinths  and  hand-painted  menu  cards  in  delft 
blue,  the  Jubilee  colors  lieing  blue  and  white. 

Miss  Sara  J.  Thomas,  ]iresident  of  the  .Association,  i)resided  as 
toastmistress.  The  following  toasts  were  heartily  enjoyed :  "Our 
Guests."  by  Miss  Helen  B'nclerwood;  V'ice-President  of  the  Association; 
"Girls."  by  Mrs.  Wm.  McLean;  a  short  history  of  the  Association  was 
given  Ijy  Miss  Baldwin:  "Glimuses  of  the  Past,"  by  Miss  Helen  Far- 
quhar;  the  next  speaker.  Miss  Dorothv  Mertz,  told  something  of  what 
the  V.  W'.C.-V.  means  to  the  student;  "Camp  Nepahwin"  was  described 
by  Miss  Hopper;  "Grace  H.  Dod.ge,"  bv  Miss  Eleanor  Richardson;  and 
finall\-  a  few  words  from  Dr.  Philips  mi  "The  Value  of  the  .Vssociation 
Work  and  Its  Influence  in  Our  .School."  At  the  close  of  the  luncheon  the 
.Mumui  girls  organized  a  camji  league,  which  will  grow  each  year  with  the 
out-going  classes  and  will  aid  in  sup])orling  the  summer  cam])  for  selt- 
su|)porting  g'irls. 

The  Anniversarv  Service  was  held  on  1"hur.sday  afternoon.  March  2, 
iQrA.  Mrs.  Gladding,  a  member  of  the  National  Board,  gave  the  address. 
She  spoke  of  the  Association's  growth  in  this  country,  the  work  done  with 
all  classes  of  ,girls,  and  described  to  us  some  of  the  girls  and  their  asso-

^j^DUCATION  is  like  a  triangle,  having-  three  sides.  These  three 
J^  sides  are  physical,  intellectual  and  spiritual.  If  any  one  of  these  is 
JJm^   lacking-  our  education  is  incomplete. 

The  man  who  has  the  physical  development  alone  is  httle  more 
than  a  brute :  the  man  who  has  the  intellectual  development  alone  is  a 
lx)ok-worm,  but  these  two  joined  together  with  the  spiritual,  which  is 
the  greatest  of  all,  fits  a  man  for  the  higher  and  nobler  things  of  life. 

This  spiritual  side  is  brought  to  us  vividly  by  the  many  able  speakers 
who  come  to  us  through  the  efforts  of  our  beloved  president.  Dr.  Green. 

This  is  the  twenty-fifth  year  for  Dr.  Green  as  president  of  the  Associa- 
tion, having  started  it  in  1891.  Since  that  time,  there  have  been  few  fel- 
lows in  this  school  whose  lives  have  not  been  touched  and  bettered  by  his 
influence. 

On  Thursday  night  of  each  week  the  boys  assemble  in  the  Y.M.C.A. 
room  of  Wayne  Hall,  forgetting  their  daily  toil  and  cares,  as  a  body  of 
Christian  men  to  worship  their  God  and  receive  His  message  as  brought 
by  His  servants.  The  interesting  feature  of  the  year's  work  was  the  lec- 
ture given  by  Alfred  Noy.se,  on  April  21,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Y.  M. 
C.  .\.  When  we  have  left  these  walls,  the  memories  and  impressions  re- 
ceived in  the  Association  room  will  linger  longer  than  any  of  those  re- 
ceived in  any  other  phaze  of  our  school  work.  We  sincerely  hope  this 
good  work  will  continue  under  the  leadership  of  our  friend,  teacher  and 
president.  Dr.  Green.

^JTHE  Moore  Literary  Society  has  made  for  itself  a  record,  which  is 
^^  only  fitting  for  such  an  organization.  .\t  the  very  l)eginning  of  the 
year,  a  vigorous  campaign  was  begun  in  the  getting  of  new  mem- 
bers, with  the  result  that  last  year's  record,  wliicli  was  a  record-breaker, 
was  ]>roken.  Every  member  of  the  siK'iety  was  full  of  enthusiasm  and 
worked  \ery  earnestly,  which  was  continued  throughout  the  entire  school 
year.  It  is  very  gratifying  to  see  how  many  new  m.embers  entered  into 
the  work  of  the  society  and  made  their  "debut"  into  the  world  of  public 
entertainers  in  the  Normal  Auditorium. 

The  .society  opened  the  new  scho(jl  year  with  a  farce  comedy  in  three 
acts,  entitled  "The  Elopement  of  Ellen,"  in  which  some  very  interesting, 
modern  features  were  pfesented,  one  of  whicli  was  the  study  oi  domestic 
ec(  inomy. 

The  Eorty-fourth  Anniversarv  nt  the  Mmire  Literary  Society  occur- 
red October  23rd,  19 15.  The  President  and  Secrctarv  for  the  evening 
were  Mr.  Charles  Catherman  and  Miss  Alma  A.  A.  Ettlich.  The  spe- 
cial feature  of  the  program  was  a  recital  given  by  sexeral  members  of  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  Company  acting  in  place  of  Mr.  David  Bispham,  who 
was  unable  to  fill  his  engagement.  The  social  hour,  which  followed,  was 
filled  with  the  enthusiasm  of  former  years. 

A  special  feature  of  (ine  of  the  ])r()grams  nf  the  year  was  a  vocal  solo. 
entitled  "My  I-ittle  Grey  Ibmic  in  the  W'est,"  sung  by  Mr.  Morrow  Hart,

of  Phiiadelphia.  an  "Old  Aloore."     A  meeting-  in  the  latter  part  of  the  fall 
term,  conducted  entirely  by  the  girls,  was  very  interesting. 

It  was  not  until  the  fall  of  1914  that  the  "Moores""  decided  that  the 
girls  of  their  society  should  l)e  given  an  opportunity  to  enter  into  the  ac- 
tive life  of  the  society  by  the  adoption  of  a  prize  essay  contest.  This 
year  twenty-one  girls  entered  into  the  contest.  The  first  prize  was  won 
by  Elizal)eth  P*owell ;  second  prize  by  Frances  Steinmueller,  while  Mar- 
garet Alahaffey  won  the  third  prize.  .Ml  the  essayists  deserve  great 
praise  for  the  splenditl  work  they  submitted. 

A  Shakesi>earean  meeting  was  held  in  the  fore  part  of  the  spring 
term.  It  put  everyone  into  the  Shakespeare  spirit  and  ga\e  each  of  us 
short  glimpses  into  some  scenes  of  his  various  plays. 

This  is  the  44th  year  that  the  Moore  Society  has  been  e.xerting  its 
influence  in  this  school.  Its  help  in  training  jjeople  for  the  pu1)lic- 
speaking  world  cannot  be  doubted. 

The  "Moores"  of  the  class  of  1916  are  \'ery  sorry  that  the  close  re- 
lationsliii>  w  itii  tiieir  society  nnist  be  severed.  We  hope  that  the  society 
will  always  e.xert  a  powerful  influence  and  wish  that  those  who  come 
after  us  and  take  up  our  work  will  be  successful,  never  forgetting  those 
helpful  v\ ords,  "To  Know  Is  To  Rule."

A  f  par  H  Mnrk  in  Upwi^tu 

As  usual  this  year  for  our  Society  proved  very  entertaining  and 
successful  as  well  as  instructive. 
We  began  our  year  with  earnest  work  among  the  Aryans 
and  secured  a  greater  number  of  members  than  during  and  pre- 
ceding year.     The  main  feature  of  our  opening  meeting  was  a  comedy, 
in  four  acts,  entitled  "Charlie's  Country  Cousin,"  whose  roles  were  well 
interpreted  by  its  characters. 

One  of  the  most  important  and  long  anticipated  events  in  our  year's 
meetings  was  the  debate  with  tlie  Freshmen  of  Swarthmore  College. 
That  this  debate  would  some  time  take  place  and  that  a  relation  would  be 
established  between  the  Aryan  Society  and  that  College,  has  been  the  de- 
sire of  many  of  its  members  for  several  years.  This  first  annual  debate 
was  held  April  8,  1916,  in  the  Normal  School  auditorium  and  was  pre- 
sided over  by  Prof.  Smith  Burnham,  with  Hon.  J.  Frank  F.  Hause,  Supt. 
Thomas  A.  Bock  and  Mr.  Ernest  Harvey,  Esq.,  acting  as  judges.  The 
(juestion.  "Resolved,  That  an  international  police  force  should  be  estab- 
lished to  enforce  international  treaties  and  agreements  and  preserve  in- 
ternational peace,"  was  decided  in  favor  of  the  negative  side.  The  teams 
were  arranged  as  follows :

THE      SERPENTINE 


Although  nut  successful,  our  team  did  highly  CdUinieudahle  work 
and  deserves  much  praise.  We  hope  that  these  deljates  may  be  contiuued 
and  that  the  students  will  take  an  interest  in  them. 

Our  si)ecial  meeting  during  Spring  term  was  in  reality  "An  Evening 
With  John  Townsend  Trowbridge."  Several  of  his  works  were  inter- 
estingly produced  after  the  reading  of  an  essay  on  his  life  and  works. 
The  play,  "The  Troublesome  Investment."  dramatized  from  Trnw- 
britlge's  "Coupon  Bonds."  and  gi\en  during  the  second  half  n\  the  pro- 
gramme was  well-reutlered. 

I'or  various  reasons  the  boys'  and  girls'  annual  oratorical  ctmtests 
were  combined  this  year  and  held  on  May  6,  lyiO.  Six  boys  and  six 
boys  entered  the  final  contest,  those  receiving  the  prizes  of  $15,  $10  and 
$5,  respectively,  being  the  following: — 

GIRLS  BOYS 

Irene  Miller  Henri  del  Sobral 

Ro.s.\  zeigler  Clarence  Gocklev 

Kdith  MacMlllin.  W'.vltek  S.  I""i:kgi'.son. 

The  thirty-sixth  aiuii\-ersary  of  the  Society  was  held  this  year  on 
May  20,  19 16.  As  usual  many  former  members  returned  and  were  pleas- 
ed by  the  evening's  entertainment,  a  Shakespearian  play,  entitled  "The 
Merchant  of  Venice."  This  was  given  by  the  Art-Drama  Players,  of 
New  York,  whose  company  consists  almost  entirely  of  star  actors. 

The  business  meetings  during  the  year  have  been  full  of  interest  and 
enthusiasm  which  was  evidently  due  to  their  good  attendance. 

The  Society's  choruses  have  been  unusually  attract i\'e,  several  special 
ones  having  been  rendered. 

The  joint  orchestra,  established  last  year,  has  proved  very  successful 
and  helped  greatly  in  adding  to  the  attractiveness  of  our  regular,  as  well 
as  special,  meetings. 

W'e  are  sorry  not  to  be  able  to  continue  in  our  close  relations  with 
the  society,  but  we  feel  sure  that  its  future  sustainers  will  derive  as  much 
Ijenefit  and  will  produce  a  stronger  oragnization  every  year,  encouraged 
by  the  thought  that  "The  End  Crowns  The  Work."

I.    European  History  Since  1870 

We  have  been  inoculated  anil  the  prucess  has  had  its  usual  effect — we 
are  now  ininnme  to  the  disease  of  college  life,  viz.,  brain  fever.  You 
say  this  is  a  new  and  wonderful  application  of  a  new  science,  namely,  the 
L'niversity  Ivxtension  Course?  Those  of  us  who  have  survived  it  can 
speak.      We  speak : 

We  were  innocent  and  simple-minded  folk  with  the  satisfaction  of  all 
ignorance  and  the  fe;ir  of  all  knowledge  when  it  was  suggested  that  a 
party  of  us  take  a  tri])  to  the  Old  World  to  .see  how  the  (ireat  War  of 
1914  was  progressing.  The  suggestion  was  unanimousl\'  adopted  and  we 
booked  our  names  on  the  register  of  the  steamshii)  "European  History." 
We,  fortunately,  secured  as  captain  of  the  crew  a  giant,  in  whose  hands 
we  placed  our  li\es  unreservedly.  He  was  honored  with  an  unpronounc- 
able  name  that  l^egins  very  musically  and  ends  with  a  rippling  brook — 
Ling'elbach — and  is  otherwise  known  as,  Louis  Philippe.  We  Ijade 
heart-rending'  farewells  to  our  American  friends  and  on  the  ajjpointed  day 
we  left  the  .\nierican  shore  and  entered  upon  a  \oyage  which  we  knew 
would  be  fraught  with  dangers. 

We  had  had  fine  weather  and  a  pleasant  time  on  board  ship,  except 
for  a  few  cases  of  seasickness,  which  occurred  when  certain  library  refer- 
ences were  rec|uired  of  us.  But  such  good  luck  did  not  last  long,  for  one 
h""riday  afternoon  the  captain  demanded  of  those  on  board  an  answer  to 
this  stunner,  "E.xpound  syndicalism,  giving  the  etymology  of  the  term, 
history  of  its  use  and  practice,  and  its  present  significance  to  the  citizens 
of  the  Republic  of  hTance."  Was  it  any  wonder  that  a  storm  l>roke  loose 
that  afternoon  and  the  elements  fought  a  pitched  battle?  The  cannon 
roared,  swords  Hashed  in  air,  sharp  preceptory  commands  rose  above  the 
din  while  the  waves  advanced,  were  repulsed  by  the  enemy  and  retreated. 
.\t  the  command  of  their  general,  the  Wind,  howe\er,  they  took  new 
courage  and  returned  to  the  onslaught.  rhe\'  beat  upon  our  Hanks  and 
we  were  hard  pressed.  It  rained  anil  the  shrapnel  came  click!  click! 
against  the  windows  of  our  cabins.  But  now  it  grew  dark  and  all  opera- 
tions had  to  be  suspended  for  the  night.  The  question  had  been  ans- 
wered by  Mrs.  N.  with  the  help  of  Mr.  B.  By  daybreak  we  were  under 
way  ag'ain  and  there  was  smooth  sailing  once  more. 

Our  journey  continued  uneventful,  so  we  improved  our  time  by 
studying  the  history  of  the  warring  nations  so  as  to  have  our  minds  im- 
bued with  the  truth  and  if  possible  to  seek  out  the  causes  of  this  great 
struggle.  We  were  within  four  days  of  our  journey's  end,  when  horror 
of  horrors!  We  were  torpedoed  by  a  sub-marine — an  examination  was 
hurled  at  us,  not  to  speak  of  the  paper  to  l>e  prepared,  lliree  of  our  nuni- 
l>er  never  survived  the  shock  of  the  awful  catastrophe,  while  there  was

wailiii.i^-  and  .^iKLsliini;-  ni  tCL'th  updii  the  part  n\  these  whu  thini^^hl  they 
CDiildn't  pass  it,  knew  they  coukhi't  ])ass  it.  and  tliose  wlio  were  ahsuhitelv 
sure  they  woiilthi't  pass  it.  Tlie  hold  of  the  ship  was  fast  hllini^'  and  con- 
sternation reigned  supreme.  Su(klenly  a  small  craft  made  its  appearance 
on  the  crest  of  a  wa\e.  then  another — our  thoughts  were  becoming  organ- 
ized— the  Ixiats  came  up  along  side  of  us  and  ])efore  we  knew  it  a  group  of 
"Germans"  stood  before  us  on  the  deck.  Their  leader  demanded  the 
immetliate  surrender  of  the  whole  crew — l)ut  our  captain  stepued  up  at  tlie 
psycholog'ical  moment  with.  ".^ir.  my  name  is  Lingelback ;  I  am  a  Ger- 
man." Idle  tide  was  turned  and  the  whole  crew  was  taken  on  board  the 
German  vessel.  \\  ith  the  exception  of  three  of  the  original  number  we 
all  reached  England  intact — we  had  passed  the  exam. 

II.     Sociology 

.\n  elfan  figure  with  jo\ial  grin  and  an  airy  tread  on  light  fantastic 
toe  made  his  way  among  us  one  da_\'.  We  were  told  that  this  nvm]>h  was 
to  introduce  us  to  the  Sociological  i^rinciples  of  our  beings.  It  was  unbe- 
lievable that  so  small  a  personag'e  could  know  so  much  more  than  we  big, 
brain}'  mortals.  He  was  a  merry  spirit,  one  of  those  little  creatures  that 
one  connects  with  the  lower  regions,  and  if  you  have  seen  it  you  will 
conjure  u])  the  picture  of  a  brownie  i^ouring  over  the  ])ages  of  a  volume 
si.x  times  his  size  and  finding  therein  the  secrets  and  innermost  motives  of 
all  mankind. 

He  was  a  combination,  this  diminutix'e  person,  called  Lichtenberger, 
of  the  two  sides  of  life,  coiuedy  and  tragedy,  d  he  first  side  of  his  nature 
was  made  evident  bv  a  recollection  he  once  brought  to  the  surface  of  his 
vast  store  of  knowledge.  \\'hether  he  spoke  from  exoerience  we  cannot 
say,  but  this  was  the  liurden  of  what  he  recalled:  "The  shortest  marri- 
age ceremonv  ever  performed  was  conducted  on  this  wise — "Have  him? 
Ha\'e  her  ?  Hitched."  The  other  side  of  his  nature  was  portrayed  by  the 
depth  of  his  reasoning.  He  was  kind  and  helpful  in  his  own  wise  way, 
as  you  will  all  agree  when  he  told  us  that  the  solution  f)f  our  ])overty  was 
not  one  of  relief.  But  he  assured  us  that  we  could  solve  the  terril)le  prob- 
lem only  by  an  attack  upon  the  causes.  Some  of  us  grew  hopeful.  But 
when  he  unearthed  and  brought  to  light  before  the  eves  of  our  classmates 
the  verv  root  of  our  poverty  stricken  condition — drink,  extravagance, 
death  of  husband,  sickness,  mental  deran^'ement.  old  asj'e.  and  crime — we 
were  disgraced  for  all  time.  .Mas.  most  Ivitter  medicine!  He  nrescribed 
for  us  a  condition  of  slavery,  for  in  this  social  relationship  only  is  there 
no  such  thing  as  povertv. 

We  had  not  thought  that  this  little  elf  could  liarixjr  in  his  small  mind 
such  cruel  jjlans  for  our  annihilation.  To  make  matters  still  more  un- 
bearable he  ni>w  l)egan  to  anuise  himself  for  hours  at  a  stretch  and  sub- 
jected us  to  nervous  jirostration  by  talking  on  subjects  which  were  far  be- 


CLASS     NINE"rEEN     SIXTEEN 


)oik1  (lur  intellectual  J4ras[j — we  were  mere  strap-hangers,  lie  got  off  a 
dissertation  on  the  philosophical  view  of  recreation  and  forcibly  brought 
our  attention  to  the  fact  that  it  is  injurious  to  the  mortal  soul.  Then  the 
shackles  were  drawn  tighter  and  tighter  until  we  thought  they  must  cut 
our  flesh  when  Spartaca,  sister  to  the  famous  gladiator  of  old,  rose  up 
from  among  us  and  fought  for  the  fast-losing  cause.  Those  who  were 
fellow  sufferers  in  that  class  will  little  note  nor  long  remember  what  the 
professor  did  here,  but  they  can  never  forget  what  Miss  G.  said  here. 
She  brought  new  life  into  our  blood  and  incited  us  to  deeds  of  daring 
(|uite  unheard  of — we  failed  ever  to  glimpse  behind  the  covers  of  the 
"Surveys"  we  were  supposed  to  read.  Hut  our  triumph  was  short  lived, 
for  the  chains  were  padlocked  and  the  climax  came — in  the  shape  of  a 
scientifically  written  paper  to  be  prepared,  an  unheard  of  bibliography, 
and  as  a  consequence  many  sleejjless  nights  and  sleepful  days. 

III.     Mathematics 

If  you  care  to  see  the  cream  of  intellectual  attainment  in  the  W.  C. 
S.  N.  S.  stroll  some  Tuesday  evening  into  A6.  You  say  it  isn't  so  ?  "Ah ! 
another  true  statement." 

Xote  some  of  the  worthies  as  they  enter,  the  tall  and  stately  Hallett 
with  magnetic  air  is  the  exponent  of  mathematical  knowledge.  Among 
the  first  of  the  mental  gymnasts  to  arrive  is  Mr.  K.,  smiling,  too;  Mr.  W. 
towering  high  above  Mrs.  X.,  who  walks  by  his  side:  Mr.  L.  with  that 
look  of  premature  gravity  so  common  to  his  countenance,  wdiile  in  groups 
follow  the  minor  satellites. 

.\nd  now  begins  the  analysis  of  the  mental  capacities  of  the  various 
members  and  quite  a  task  it  is,  for  we  regard  zero  as  incapable  of  further 
analysis.  One  of  the  distinguished  members,  pedagogically  inclined, 
"proud  of  his  powers  and  fond  of  their  successful  display,"  at  once  tells 
Dr.  H.  how  to  proceed  in  the  solution  of  problems.  Another  speaker, 
"Dr.  H,  I  don't  see  how  that  is."  Thereupon  proceeds  a  lengthy  discus- 
sion during  which  a  yawn  or  two  is  heard  and  the  hands  of  some  members 
are  placed  so  as  to  suspiciously  shade  the  eyes. 

The  majority,  realizing  "that  the  o\x\  won  his  whole  reputation 
through  looking  wi.se  and  keeping  (juiet"  have  nothing  to  say.  Dr.  H., 
however,  does  not  permit  conversation  to  lapse  and  what  can  be  expected? 
I,  or  "as  far  as  Wisdom  is  concerned,  a  man  isn't  a  spring;  he's  a  tank 
and  gives  out  only  what  he  gathers."  Oh,  well,  it  takes  a  mighty  smart 
man  to  know  enough  to  conceal  what  he  doesn't  know  and  Mr.  S.  is  to  be 
credited  with  that. 

Straight  lines  and  circles,  parobalas  and  ellipses,  hyperbolas  and 
comics,  equations  and  coordinates,  axes  and  radius  rectors ;  take  your 
choice  and  keep  the  change  if  you  are  so  lucky  as  to  have  any. 

The  jjreliminaries  are  not  yet  oxer  with  and  yet  the  future  is  a  l)lack- 
board  and  we  have  the  chalk.

THE      SERPENTINE 


IV.     English  History 

We  were  initiated  ]>\  a  "Imi^  shallow  (li\e"  in  the  \'ast  snbject  of 
English  History.  It  was  a  refreshin.t;'  exjierience  and  we  have  enjoyed 
the  weekly  swims  ever  since..  .\s  the  hour  for  the  calhno-  of  the  class 
grows  clo.ser  one  can  see  the  fishes  coming  from  all  directions  as  fast  as 
their  fins  can  convey  them;  not  that  they  are  coming  at  the  last  minnte 
init  are  yearning  to  grasp  the  intellectual  nourishment  weeklv  in  store  for 
them. 

We  have  sailed  through  the  course  with  colors  flying  lx)ldly  for  the 
"Prof."  who  was  our  beac:in  light  took  pity  upon  us  in  our  benighted  con- 
dition. King  and  Parliament  reigned  supreme  over  us  every  Friday  af- 
ternoon ;  King,  our  dear  Professor  Howland,  Parliament,  composed  of 
two  omniscient  pedagogues  who  managed  to  keep  his  attention  so  con- 
centrated on  themselves  and  their  views  of  the  subject  in  hand  that  we,  of 
the  common  herd,  escaped  from  displaying  our  nil  pervading  ignorance. 

Discussions  on  religion,  as  introduced  among  the  \-ariety  of  sub- 
jects ofifered  for  our  consumption,  were  often  served  up.  One  morsel, 
taken  from  an  old  Presbyterian  hymnal,  we  welcomed  with  glee.  It  ran 
thus : — 

V^e  are  the  elect,  the  chosen  few. 

Let  all  the  rest  be  dammed: 
There's   room    enough    in   hell   for  you, 

We  don't  want  heaven  crammed. 

Professor  Howland  didn't  "give  a  whoop,"  as  he  expressed  it.  if  we 
failed  to  become  enlightened  on  the  home  and  foreign  jKilicy  as  well  as 
the  economic,  religious  and  political  development  of  England.  For  our 
scales  had  reached  maturity,  our  fins  were  in  perfect  condition:  all  of  us 
possessed  normal  health  conditions  so  that  it  was  our  own  fault  if  we 
failed  to  drink  from  the  stream  of  knowledge  and  understanding  in 
which  we  found  ourselves  at  regular  inter\als,  and  breathe  the  purifying 
air  of  proper  historical  interpretation. 

V.     Geography  of  North  and  South  America 

.\  scant  twenty-fi\e  ho])efully  started  out  on  a  search  for  a  rich  mine 
of  Geographical  Know  ledge.  The  exjjedition  had  been  carefully  planned 
with  a  competent  man  at  its  head,  namely.  Professor  Roorbach,  another 
member  of  that  illustrious  brook  family.  Shoulder  to  shoulder,  the 
sturdy  little  band  delved  beneath  the  surface  of  all  superficial  things  into 
the  realms  of  un]ironouncable  geograi)hical  terms. 

-\t  first  the  interest  was  at  white  heat  for  a  \ein  had  lieen  struck  and 
all  were  hot  foot  to  discover  its  richness  and  extent.  Now  came  a  dif- 
ference of  opinion — one  of  those  occurrences  which  are  so  rare  but  which, 
when  experienced,  prove  so  fatal  to  good  sense  and  manners.  One  see-

CLASS     NINETEEN     SIXTEEN 


tioii  (it  the  little  hand  decided  that  thev  already  knew  sn  iiiucli  ahout  the 
siihject  in  hand  and  were  possessed  of  snch  wondertnl  memories  that  all 
note  taking  was  su|)ert1uons.  These  damsels  sjient  their  time  gazing 
upon  the  appointments  of  the  library  surroundings.  Can  we  Mieve  they 
found  them  interesting?  Surely  not,  but  what  about  the  boys  just  down 
across  the  way?  Of  this  dissenting  element,  Mr.  T.  was  the  distinguished 
leader.  He  was  wont  to  ask  cpiestions  of  such  e.xtensive  length  and  went 
into  such  flights  of  orator\-  that  by  the  time  he  had  to  stoj)  for  want  of 
breath,  Roorbach  could  not  have  told  whether  an  extem])oraneous  speech 
or  a  prepared  lecture  had  l)een  sprung  upon  him. 

The  other  half  of  the  party,  however,  continued  to  probe  for  geo- 
graphical knowledge.  ]\Iany  a  research  was  unearthed  and  brought  to 
light  by  these  persistent  miners.  Among  the  rewards  of  their  valiant 
efforts  were  maps — oh,  yes — maps  galore,  wonderful  maps  on  which  they 
never  tired  of  tracing  routes. 

The  jirofessor  was  very  lenient  in  this  respect  for  he  re(|uired  them 
to  find  only  six  routes  at  once  Ijetween  two  si>ecified  points ;  one  each  by 
mule  back,  road,  water,  steam,  trolley,  and  last,  but  not  least,  by  air  ship. 
.\nother  characteristic  member  of  the  search  party  was  Mrs.  N.  who  kept 
the  wlieels  of  the  drills  so  cogged  with  her  ideas  and  suggestions  that  they 
formed  c|uite  a  good  shield  for  the  onslaughts  which  the  i>rofessor  some- 
times made  upon  his  subjects. 

It  was  nearing  time  for  the  party  to  return  to  the  common  ground 
le\el  of  the  regular  Normal  School  course  when  it  was  announced  that  an 
examination  of  the  resi>ective  memebers  of  the  party  was  to  be  an- 
ticipated.. Then  did  the  foolish  virgins  beg  for  oil  from  the  wise.  You 
know  the  story,  the  marriage  feast,  viz.  :  the  exam,  caiue  and  the  wise 
virgins  went  into  the  celebration  while  the  door  was  closed  upon  the  fool- 
ish \irgiiis,  the  exam,  was  stiff  and  they  had  flunked. 


VI.     Nineteenth  Century  Poetry 

What  more  fitting  season  than  the  Springtime  could  one  wish 
for  in  which  to  learn  to  know  and  love  those  human  songsters — the  Eng- 
lish poets  of  the  Nineteenth  Century?  The  mediator  on  our  behalf  to 
this  wofld  of  enchantment  and  bliss  waved  his  golden  wand,  cast  his  spell 
and  we  became  unresisting  subjects  to  his  witchery.  We  were  in  the 
world  but  not  of  it. 

What  were  the  potions  employed  we  may  some  dav  learn  if  ever  we 
can  shake  off  the  gossamer  threads  which  bind  us  so  lightly,  vet  none  the 
less  securely.  Many  ]>ossible  conjectures  have  been  brought  to  bear — can 
it  be  his  overawint'"  aupearaance?  For  this  medicine  man,  McClelland, 
towered  head  and  siioulders  above  us  insiti'niticant  I,illii)utians,  while  the 
desk,  which  we  unsuspectingly  ]il;iced  for  him  at  his  coming,  jiroved  to  be

signiticance  of  life  as  embodied  in  Wordsworth's  poems"  or  the  combined 
artistic  (pialities  and  the  supernatural  revelations  in  the  "Ancient 
Mariner."  Was  it  any  wonder  that  some  of  us  can  testify  to  experienc- 
ing most  wonderful  opium  dreams  after  listening  to  a  harangue  of  this 
nature?  Was  it  this  air  of  heavenly  fellowship  with  the  stars  which  en- 
ticed us  or  that  characteristic  way  our  instructor  had  of  laughing  on  one 
side  of  his  mouth  and,  when  serious,  of  talking  out  of  the  (jther  side? 
We  often  felt  pangs  of  pity  for  him  on  account  of  the  facial  contortions 
accomiianying  the  reading  of  Scotch  dialect,  but  we  could  not  prevent  him 
from  reading  his  beloved  Burns  "for  a'  that  and  a'  that."  I  will  no 
longer  pry  into  the  cause  of  our  enchantment.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  such 
was  the  state  of  being  in  which  we  lived. 

And  then  a  terrible  thing  happened  ui)on  a  beautiful  Spring  evening 
when  the  breath  of  growing  things  floated  in  at  the  open  windows  and  the 
spell  was  all  around  us.  Our  star  fell  to  earth  and  told  us  a  joke.  It  ran 
on  this  wise:  A  fond  husband  left  home  for  a  week's  visit  with  the 
parting  injunction  from  his  wife  to  be  sure  to  put  on  a  clean  shirt  every 
day.  When  he  returned  he  was  looking  rather  warm  and  prosperous. 
His  wife  a.sked  him  whether  he  had  done  as  she  told  him.  He  answered 
decidedly  in  the  aftirmative,  and  so  it  has  ever  been  and  ever  will  be  that 
our  ideals  are  snuffed  out  as  a  flickering  candle  light  by  the  stirring 
breeze.  Our  heroes  come  down  to  the  common  clay  of  which  they  are  a 
part,  and  we  are  prone  to  cry,  with  groans  and  tremulous  shuddering — 
".A.11  is  over!" 

But  now  in  the  maturity  of  our  university  credits,  with  a  careful  P 
placed  after  our  names  (P  suggests  "perfect,"  but  not  at  the  University), 
we  realize  that  jiossibly  it  was  all  for  the  best.

SENIOR  SLEIGH   RIDE 


Paee   2iiB 


THE      SERPENTINE 


^puiflr  i>ln9l|  Hili^ 


^TTHI'E'JSDAV  niDrning,  Februan-  3,  ii)i(>.  West  Chester  Normal 
1|L  School  looked  out  upon  a  white  world.  All  nig;ht  it  had  snowed, 
^"^  and  more  than  one  heart  beat  a  little  faster  at  the  thought  that  the 
longed-for.  niuch-talked-about  Senior  sleigh  ride  might  come  to  pass. 
Our  anticipations  were  realized  when  a  Senior  class  meeting  was  called 
at  noon  by  the  president,  and  everybody  turned  out  full  force.  Arrange- 
ments were  made  with  Mr.  Smith,  and  promptly  at  four  o'clock  two  hun- 
dred happy  Seniors,  bundled  in  coats  and  sweaters,  with  a  crowd  of  en- 
vious third-years  at  our  heels,  met  in  front  of  Main  lUiilding.  and  finally, 
about  five  o'clock,  when  e\ery  sleigh  had  heen  packed  and  rejjacked,  and 
was  full  to  overflowing,  we  were  ready,  anil  off  we  flew,  every  one  in  for  a 
good  time. 

The  members  of  the  basket-ljall  s(|uad  were  iitiable  to  go  on  account 
of  practice. 

It  was  surely  a  wonderful  time,  especially  for  the  occupants  of  one 
sleigh,  who  ( say  it  softly )  had  escaped  without  a  chaperone.  For  some 
une.xplainable  reason  the  boys  and  girls  were  actually  sitting  side  by  side 
in  the  same  sleigh.  If  you  don't  believe  it,  ask  Lester.  Floyd,  also;  al- 
though very  busy  overseeing  matters,  managed  to  take  time  to  select  a 
particular  sleigh,  when  anv  other  would  ha\-e  been  just  as  good.  H — m, 
well! 

Although  the  ride  was  short,  it  was  an  eventful  one  for  at  least  one  of 
the  sleighs,  whose  horses  ran  into  a  telegraph  pole,  nearly  overturning 
the  sleigh  and  causing  a  disastrous  ending  to  a  happy  party.  After  a 
little  delay,  they  were  fixed  u])  and  went  on  their  way.  none  the  worse  for 
the  accident.  Nor  was  the  ride  without  its  educational  value,  for  sev- 
eral of  the  g'irls,  by  pestering  their  dri\er  with  questions  succeeded  in 
making  a  survey  of  his  horses  for  Ag. 

Yells  and  cheers  followed  one  after  another  in  hajjiiy  succession  and 
time  did  not  lag.  Only  once  did  our  spirits  drop,  which  naturally  was 
when  we  saw  that  we  were  turning  toward  Normal  once  more.  Who  of 
us  did  not  feel  like  riding  all  night  in  the  brisk  air  and  under  those  beau- 
tiful "stars  in  the  country  sky." 

But  soon  we  found  the  only  thing  left  to  do  was  t(3  make  the  best  of 
what  seemed  to  us  a  bad  iob.  and  we  soon  resumed  our  high  spirits  and 
came  back  singing"  and  yelling'  as  happily  as  we  went.  But  all  gootl  things 
must  end.  Two  minutes  before  seven  the  last  sleigh  unloaded  and  every- 
body marched  into  the  dining  room  tired  and  stiff,  but  happy — and 
hungry.  Here  our  apfietites  were  appeased  by  spare  ribs  and  sweet  pota- 
toes.     .\  happv  ending  to  a  hajipv  time  !

THE      SERPENTINE 


(Ekfifi  flag 

N  June  ig,  1915,  tlie  class  of  i<;r6  g-ave  the  Indian  play,  "The 
Arrow  Maker,"  written  l)y  Mary  Austin,  on  South  Campus,  under 
the  direction  of  Miss  Katherine  Uenworth. 

I  lad  a  S])irit  of  a  Lcnni  Lenape  tribesman,  the  original  red- 
skin dweller  of  Chester  county,  come  down  South  High  Street  to  Rose- 
dale  Avenne,  he  would  have  given  one  war-whoo])  and  made  a  rush  for 
the  midst  of  his  fellow  tribesmen  on  South  Campus. 

Xor  woukl  his  jjale-faced  brother  have  blamed  him  for  the  error. 
There  the  Indian  would  have  fountl  in  a  village  along  the  banks  of  the 
Brandywine,  feathered  warriors,  gayly  blanketed  scpiaws,  and  his  home — 
a  wigwam,  in  the  midst  of  a  grove  of  evergreens. 

To  the  audience,  composed  of  about  one  thousand  persons,  the  stage 
of  grass,  and  the  wings — large  trees — provided  a  most  attractive  and  ap- 
propriate setting  for  the  "Arrow  Maker."  Even  when  showers  threat- 
ened, did  their  interest  abate? 

At  two-thirty  o'clock  the  pageant  started  to  wind  its  way  from  the  Li- 
brarv  to  the  scene  of  the  iilay.  The  meni1)ers  of  the  cast  preceded  about 
one  hunilred  other  members  of  191  A.  dressed  in  Indian  costume.  They 
did  a  snake  dance  and  gave  a  warwhoop  along  the  way  and  around  the 
stage  several  times.  Then  the  retinue  seated  itself  in  a  semi-circle  in 
front  of  the  andience. 

The  president  of  the  class.  Clarence  Stitzer,  ga\e  a  short  address  of 
welcome,  in  which  he  callid  attention  to  the  central  thought  of  the  play, — 
that  genius  bekjr.gs  not  to  the  individual  but  to  the  community. 

The  plav  itself  is  one  of  American  Indian  life.  The  action  takes 
place  in  the  foot  hills  of  the  Sierras  in  California,  ])ri(.»r  to  its  occii]>ation 
by  the  white  jieople. 

There  arc  three  acts,  the  scenes  <if  which  are  laid  in  the  following 
places : 

.\CT  1.  The  Chisera's  \\'ickiu]>.  X'alley  of  Sagharawite. 
ACT  II.  The  Camp  of  Sagharawite.  'i'hree  months  later. 
ACT  III.     The  To]i  of  Toorape.    One  year  later. 

W' ar  is  imminent  between  the  Tribes  of  Sagharawite  and  Castac.  The 
chief  of  the  former.  Rain  Wind,  is  so  old  that  a  new  one  must  l)e 
chosen.     Padahoon  should  be  Rain  Wind's  successor,  bnt  the  young  men

fa\-or  Sinnva,  the  Arrow  Maker.  The  council  sits  and  instructs  the 
Chisera,  or  Medicine  Woman,  to  inquire  the  will  of  the  gods  in  the  matter. 

Sinnva  feigns  love  for  the  Chisera  in  order  that  she  might  instruct 
the  council  in  his  favor.  He  gains  her  love  easily,  for  she  has  lived  a 
lonely,  lo\e-hungry  life. 

Three  months  later  he  marries  Bright  Water,  the  chieftain's  daugh- 
ter. Chisera  comes  to  the  wedding,  and  in  her  jealousy  she  calls  down  a 
curse  upon  the  whole  tril>e. 

The  next  year  brings  famine,  death,  and  defeat  to  the  Sagharawites. 
The  council  jjronounces  death  u|M)n  the  Chisera  if  she  refuses  to  make 
good  medicine. 

In  the  meanwhile  the  leadership  is  given  to  Padaho(jn,  who  kills 
Simwa  when  he  attempts  to  shoot  the  Chisera.  The  latter  renews  her 
blessing,  recalls  the  tribe  to  action,  and  leads  them  liack  triumjjhant  to 
their  own  Valley  of  Sagharawite. 

The  participants  all  took  their  respective  parts  most  efficiently.  The 
audience  felt  the  love  and  jealousy  of  the  Chisera,  the  rascality  of  Simwa 
and  the  innocence  of  Bright  Water. 

d'he  dance  of  the  maidens  of  Sagharav/ite  was  gracefully  and  jjrettily 
done. 

Much  credit  for  the  success  of  the  play  was  due  to  the  untiring  efforts 
of  Miss  Denwcjrth,  the  coach,  and  to  the  executive  committee,  composed 
of  the  following  persons:  Irene  Randall,  Tillie  Meyer,  Elizateth  Beau- 
mont, Sara  Cuthbcrt,  Clarence  Stitzer  antl  Lester  Xels^n.

HE      SERPENTINE 


Washington,  D.  C, 
Thursday,  April  J/tli,  1916. 
Fellow   Schoolmates.    . 

The  (lark  and  lowering  skies  of  the  niDniiiis^'  have  disappeared  and 
we  are  enjoying'  some  tine  weather,  .\lthough  there  were  few  who  rose 
at  the  early  hour  of  four  o'clock,  we  got  off  safely  and  on  time.  How- 
ever, some  I  if  the  l)o_\s  hatl  difficulty  in  finding  a  place  to  shave,  therefore, 
the  demand  for  tacks  antl  a  hammer  to  prepare  a  place  for  the  mirror. 
Ask  L.  E.  S.  Two  or  three  broke  records  for  the  t[uarter  mile  by  arriv- 
ing at  the  last  minute.  Some  ijf  the  third  year  friends  did  get  up  to  see 
us  off',  those  personallv  interested.  There  were  218  of  us  left  West 
Chester,  and  all  of  us  arrived  here  at  9.25,  even  though  we  passed 
through  I^lkton  and  had  a  minister  on  l)oard  the  train. 

Shortly  after  ^)ur  arrival  we  met  President  \\  ilson  in  the  Executive 
Ofifice,  after  waiting  our  turn  till  two  other  schools  had  had  that  honor. 
One  of  these  was  a  boys'  school,  as  observed  by  Mary  G.,  who  ex- 
claimed, "Come  on  Elva!" 

We  next  mafle  our  way  to  the  Capitol,  and  under  special  guides  saw 
the  interesting  parts  of  that  building,  some  needing  more  assistance  than 
the  special  guides  afforded.  Our  tour  of  the  Capitol  showed  us  the  be- 
ginning of  Congress,  as  well  as  the  beginning  of  some  phenomena  pe- 
culiar to  Normal  School  life,  namely,  "Helen  and  Der  Kaiser,"  chaper- 
oned by  Mr.  Lady  and  Miss  Judd.  Schrope,  after  many  trials,  finally  de- 
cided to  center  his  attentions  u|)on  Miss  Searing.  George  Yocum  was  very 
much  interested  in  IVcstward  Ho.  The  tour  around  the  dome  was  especi- 
allv  interesting  to  Air.  Keller  and  Miss  Beswick,  not  to  mention  their 
pleasant  rambles  through  the  Capitol.  We  cannot  describe  all  that  went 
on  at  the  Capitol,  known  and  unknown,  but  after  meeting  Hon.  Champ 
Clark  and  Vice-President  Marshall,  we  collected  on  the  front  steps  for  the 
picture.  Here  we  tried  to  keep  up  the  spirit  of  the  Normal  bv  .giving  a 
yell. 

We  beg  t()  ask  our  autlience  to  go  with  us  on  our  tour  through  the 
city  at  this  time.  (  Pardon  the  scribbling,  but  one  of  our  dear  teachers  has 
just  said,  "Hurry,  for  it  is  midnight  and  these  boys  will  never  go  to  bed 
as  long  as  these  girls  are  hanging  around.")  Here  came  Mr.  Roberts, 
looking  as  if  he  were  out  for  the  night.  We'll  now  return  to  this  ride. 
The  sights  were  excellent,  both  in  the  cars  and  outside.  No.  i,  the  un- 
lucky car  had  a  break-down  and  the  people  had  to  return  by  trolley  car. 
Either  the  cold  weather  (jr  the  environment  caused  come  of  our  most  re- 
tiring and  bashful  young  gentlemen  to  follow  the  example  of  the  presi- 
dent of  the  class  and  the  manager  of  the  class  l>ook.  George  D.  found 
himself  a  Miller,  and  when  the  cars  stopped  for  sight-seeing  they  were 
always  out  taking  pictures  and  were  last  on  board.     And  Dague  didn't 

Page  213

outslass  his  chum  Merrill,  for  he  was  there  with  Miss  McAlullen.  One 
of  the  cars  was  unbalanced,  Idr  un  the  rear  seat  were  three  felluws  and  one 
girl.  It  appeared  as  if  the\-  were  very  bashful,  fur  they  let  this  one  girl 
sit  on  the  end  of  the  seat  and  freeze  while  they  sat  there  and  wondered. 
Can  you  imagine  "Dooley"  on  this  seat  i 

As  usual  the  Seniors  were  up  bright  and  early  Friday  morning,  many 
of  them  taking  walks  before  breakfast.  The  first  place  of  interest  after 
breakfast  was  the  Corcoran  Art  Gallery,  which  was  enjoyed  very  much  by 
all.  Vxowi  there  we  walked  to  the  State,  War  and  Navy  Building.  It 
was  on  this  walk  that  the  new  "cases"  of  the  day  started.  Mr.  Jones  and 
Miss  Bell,  Mr.  High  and  Miss  F"aucett,  formino-  one  of  the  interesting 
bunches.  In  order  that  they  would  not  forget  the  day  they  had  their  pic- 
tures taken  together. 

Mr.  Weljb  and  Miss  Lloyd  enjoyed  the  pleasure  of  being  together 
during  Secretary  Baker's  interesting  talk  and  his  reception  afterwards. 
We  again  visited  the  White  House,  seeing-  the  East  Room.  Red  Room, 
Blue  Room,  Dining  Room  and  others.  After  this  our  party  separated, 
some  going  to  the  Washington  Monument,  some  to  the  Corcoran  Art  Gal- 
lery, but  pssiWy  the  most  interesting  point  was  thi'  Washington  Monu- 
ment. How  the  Seniors  did  enjoy  sauntering  up  and  down  those  steps. 
For  those  to  whom  that  did  not  appeal  there  was  an  elevator. 

Miss  Criley  takes  Prof.  Starkey's  jilace  here  and  shakes  the  (pair) 
pear  trees.     They  are  all  gone  now  except  us,  who  are  writing  the  letter, 

Fridav  morning,  the  Washington  Herald  pruits  in  bold  head-lines, 
"Several  Students  Lost  Last  Xight  Between  the  Capitol  Building  and  the 
Metropolitan  Hotel."  Evening  paper,  "Students  Finally  I'"ound  'i'heir 
Way  Back  After  Many  Frights  and  Much  Questioning  of  the  Police 
Force.  What  \A''e  Need  is  More  Policemen."  How  about  it  M.  B.  and 
L.  K.  ? 

hTiday  afternoon  was  spent  in  the  nniseum,  the  principal  things  of 
interest  being  the  collection  of  animals  made  Ijy  Col.  Theadore  Roosex'elt 
while  in  Africa.  Here  again  some  of  our  folks  were  somewhat  stranded, 
as  they  kept  going  around  and  around  to  find  a  way  out  of  the  building. 
.Some  new  "cases"  developed  here,  namely.  Miss  Russell  and  Mr.  J-,  ?*Ir. 
Schrope  and  Aliss  Grace,  his  latest  U])  to  date,  however,  this  artist  is 
very  fickle. 

Next  we  took  cars  for  the  Na\y  \'ard.  Here  we  were  received  by 
the  Band,  which  g-ave  us  several  selections  of  nnisic.  After  this  reception 
we  went  clown  to  the  President's  \'acht  and  l>oarded  it.  The  "Jackies" 
were  both  courteous  and  curious,  and  many  wanted  to  know  where  this 
crowd  of  girls  came  from.  Dague  severed  his  attentions  from  "his 
1-ady"  of  Thursday  and  centered  them  upon  M.  Thomas.  This  sudden  in- 
fatuation may  be  due  to  the  fact  that  President  \\'ilson  used  this  yacht  on 
his  wedding  tcnir. 

I'Viday  evening  many  parties  went  to  the  theatre.  The  couples  that 
ex'ening  were  hard  to  keep  track  of.

THE      SERPENTINE 


Saturila\-  morning'  dawned  clear  and  bright,  and  every  person  was 
up  bright  and  early  in  order  to  make  the  last  day  count  as  much  as  possi- 
ble. After  breakfast  we  went  to  the  liureau  of  Printing-  and  Engraving, 
and  feasted  our  eyes  ui)on  mone\'  and  stamps,  which  articles  are  very 
necessary  and  hand\'  on  such  a  trip.  After  seeing  this  place,  under  the 
direction  of  special  guides,  soiue  went  to  the  Fisheries  Building,  some  to 
the  Bureau  of  American  Republics  and  others  to  \arious  other  points  of 
interest.  The  forenoon  was  soon  g'one  and  we  returned  for  the  last  time 
to  lunch  in  the  hotel  and  l>id  it  a  fond  farewell.  The  afternoon  broug'ht 
the  greatest  feature  of  the  trip,  the  boat  ride  to  Mount  Vernon.  The 
trip  both  down  and  back  was  enjoyed  by  all,  and  a  burning-  yacht  along  the 
way  lent  some  excitement  to  the  trip.  Everyone  enjoyed  the  ramble 
about  Washington's  old  home,  trying  tt)  see  everything,  from  the  stable 
to  the  most  nicely-furnished  room.  The  whistle  for  boarding  the  ship 
sounded  much  too  soon,  and  with  longing  looks  but  pleasant  memories, 
we  once  more  turned  toward  the  L'nion  Station.  Our  train  was  waiting 
for  us  and  we  Ijoarded,  but  no  small  stir  arose  when  it  was  thought  that 
two  of  our  number  were  missing",  Init  after  the  roll  was  called  we  found  all 
were  present.  Lunches  were  in  demand  at  this  time,  and  though  we  were 
tired,  the  jolly  time  kept  up  till  we  got  home. 

Many  interesting  things  were  said  and  done.  \\'hile  Mr.  Stitzer  was 
going  through  the  C<.)ngTessional  Library  his  eye  caught  the  following 
words:  "Reading  maketh  a  full  man,"  which  may  be  true,  but  it  was 
not  meant  s(.).  (  Vou  know  Mr.  Stitzer  is  from  Reading. )  Miss  Judd 
said  to  Miss  Bloom:  "We  must  make  a  speech  in  Public  Speaking  on  our 
Washington  trip,"  whereu])on  Miss  B.  replied:  "Oh,  well,  you  can  make 
one  from  your  own  recollections."  We  wonder  how  she  could  use  any 
person  else's  recollections.  Miss  Reiff  sent  a  card  home  saying,  "Tired 
but  happy."     It  sounds  romantic. 

While  we  were  at  the  Na\'y  Yard  Miss  Garrett  asked  Mr.  Patton : 
"What  are  those  things  in  the  shij)?"  Mr.  Patton  replied,  "They  are 
ventilators."  To  this  Miss  Garrett  exclaimed,  "Oh,  I  thought  they  were 
laundry  flues."  Our  illustrious  jiresident,  Mr,  b'retz,  went  to  a  grocery 
store  to  buy  camera  films.     We  wonder  w  hat  was  on  his  brain. 

We  must  not  forget  out  chaperons.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Philips.  Miss  Criley, 
Miss  ( ioshen.  Miss  Howard,  antl  Mr.  Roberts.  They  were  all  good 
"sports."  and  we  feel  that  we  know  them  a  bit  better  now  than  before  our 
trip.  When  we  were  out  for  our  tour  of  Washington,  our  chaperons, 
Misses  Criley.  Goshen  and  Howard,  sat  on  the  front  seat,  "as  proper 
chaperons,"  but  there  was  a  reason — every  time  we  left  the  auto  for  sight- 
seeing, we  noticed  that  they  vied  with  each  other  to  see  which  one  could  sit 
along  side  of  the  chauffeur.  We  wonder  why  Miss  Goshen  was  so  in- 
tensely interested  in  the  "Menilier  frcjm  Texas." 

It  was  a  wonderful  trip,  and  will  long  be  remembered  by  those  who 
]jarticipated.  The  memories  of  this  tri]>  will  linger  as  a  "high  w^ater 
mark"  in  our  Normal  School  life.  By  Some  Who  Know.

/.^^k  L'R  team  has  closed  the  most  successful  season  in  the  history  of 
I  iri  of  the  school,  winning'  fifteen  out  of  seventeen  g"ames.  By  de- 
^^-t'  feating  Millersville  twice  and  Stroudshurg,  they  eliminated 
Bloomsburg.  Keystone,  Mansfield  and  Shippensburg.  This 
gives  the  W.  C.  N.  S.  the  chanpionshi]>  for  normal  schools.  Although  we 
lost  two  games,  we  won  from  Alillersxille  on  their  floor,  and  this  victory 
counteracts  the  other  losses. 

The  success  of  the  team  has  been  due  first  to  the  untiring  efforts  of 
Coach  Long;  second,  to  our  "heady"  captain  Schoenly;  he  was  our  best 
floor  man.  and  his  "pep"  has  often  kept  us  in  the  game:  and  third,  to  the 
conscientious  work  of  all  the  fellows  on  the  team;  b}'  good  team  work 
they  ha\c  accomplished  that  which  they  started  out  to  do. 

On  the  defense.  Lady  and  Craumer  could  handle  anything  that  they 
met,  the  forwards  that  played  ag'ainst  them  can  \-ouch  for  that.  The  team 
had  the  distinction  of  shutting  out  one  team  without  a  single  field  goal. 
This  was  work.  Had  it  not  been  for  the  stellar  work  of  our  guards, 
Luther  and  "Ernie,"  this  could  not  have  been  done.  These  men  helped  in 
the  scoring  many  times  at  the  opportune  moment. 

Captain  Schoenly,  Weidman  and  Patton  played  the  offensive.  Our 
forwards,  Schoenly  and  Weidman,  were  a  scoring  pair,  and  any  man  who 
played  guard  had  his  own  troubles.  Patton  could  get  the  ball  on  the  toss- 
up,  and  in  many  cases  this  hel])ed  the  machinerv  get  started  in  good  fash- 
inn,  not  til  mention  his  fine  shooting.

®HE  Reserve  team  deserves  a  great  deal  of  credit,  because  it  was  tiiis 
team  that  helped  the  'Varsity  by  the  "scrimmages"  which  were  in- 
dulged in  regularly.  These  fellows  came  to  th.e  "gym"  to  help  the 
Regulars,  and  their  work  has  greatly  strengthened  many  a  weak- 
ness. Although  they  played  only  two  games,  they  split  even — winning 
from  the  School  of  Pedagogy  Reserves  by  the  score  of  1 5-6  and  losing  the 
other  to  the  Vesper  Club  of  Coatesville  by  one  point,  12-1 1.  In  this  latter 
game  luck  seemed  against  them,  as  a  great  many  of  their  shots  would 
hesitate  on  the  rim  of  the  basket  and  roll  the  wrong  direction. 

Schaffer  held  down  the  pivot  position,  while  Dougherty,  Chapman, 
Lynch,  Eddinger  and  Gross  handled  the  forward  positions  nicely:  Shu- 
tack,  Steigerwalt,  Freer,  Burgey  anil  Lewis  attended  to  the  defensive 
work  in  a  way  that  was  most  interestin"'  for  the  opposing  forwards.

'l"H  uur  l>attery  of  last  year's  team  back  and  six  veterans,  the 

outlook  for  a  successful  season  was  ^'ood.     A  large  squad  of 

fellows  turned  out  when  the  call  f(.>r  candidates  was  given 

and  Coach  Long',  assisted  by  Captain  Crannier,  developed  a 

strong  team. 

"Tim,"  our  jiort-side  Hnger.  was  the  mainstay,  while  Shafer  an- 
other left-hand  twirler,  ably  showed  what  he  could  haridle  l)y  ])itching 
the  last  five  inning^s  in  the  Millersville  game.  Yocum,  the  man  behind 
llie  bat.  held  the  runners  close  to  the  bags.  \\'ith  a  good  field  of  men  sur- 
rounding these  men  the  opposing  teams  find  they  have  no  easy  task  cut 
out  for  them. 

In  the  first  contest  we  got  the  jump  on  Brown  Prep,  and  followed 
this  up  by  dropping  one  to  Swarthmore  College  Reserves.  We  struck 
our  stride  by  winning  a  ci)U])le,  among  them  being'  a  twehe-inning 
"ner\-e-racker"  with  AIillers\'ille,  which  resulted  in  our  favor. 

This  year  has  been  a  successful  one,  and,  with  two  more  games  to 
])lay,  let  us  hope  that  our  o])pi.inents  may  bow  to  the  curves  of  Timmons 
or  Shafer.

1915-1916 

L'R  track  athletes  have  had  a  pretty  busy  year,  haxing-  had  three 
Inter-Class  meets  and  the  Inter-Scholastic  meet 

In  the  fall  Inter-Class  meet  the  Seniors  won  by  20  points,  the 
final  score  being-  64-40.  In  all  of  the  class  meets  the  Seniors  showed  that 
they  were  supreme.  .Ml  through  the  winter  the  track  team  was  busv 
training'  in  the  g\ninasium  for  the  spring  work,  an  as  soon  as  the  weather 
permitted  they  were  out  on  the  track  or  running"  across  the  country.  l>y 
April  29  we  had  a  relay  team,  consisting  of  Clarence  Steig-erwalt  (Capt. ), 
William  .-\ndreas.  Robert  Yocum,  Graydon  Perry,  and  William  Shoop  as  . 
substitute,  whom  we  sent  to  the  Penn  Relays.  Our  boys  did  not  place,  but 
in  the  Inter-Scholastic  we  took  second  ]>lace. 

Saturday,  May  2y,  our  team  will  go  to  Perkiomen  to  run,  and  we  arc 
sure  they  will  keep  up  their  record  of  good  hard  work.  Our  team  had 
only  two  \eterans,  and  ne.xt  year  we  oug'ht  to  clean  up  everything.  We 
had  a  training  table  for  19  of  the  fellows,  and  we  believe  that  has  helped 
quite  a  bit,  along  with  the  coaching  of  Doc.  Long.

A  TLRDAY  niorning.  May  tliirteenth,  was  a  l)iisy  time  al)i)ut  the 
Xtiriiial  School,  for  we  had  to  make  ready  for  the  school  children 
and  friends  of  Chester  county,  so  as  good  hosts  everybody — 
teachers,  steward  and  students — got  to  work  and  made  everything  ready 
for  the  first  thing  of  the  kind  in  Chester  count\-.  .\il  the  buildings  were 
thrown  ojjcn  for  our  visit(jrs'  use,  and  by  ten  o'clock  our  campus  was  the 
scene  of  a  great  day's  meet,  for  pupils  from  all  over  the  county,  chaper- 
oned by  their  teachers. 

Through  the  efforts  of  County  Superintendent  Thos.  A  Bock  and 
his  assistants,  Clyde  T.  Saylor  and  John  H.  Tyson,  a  programme  was 
arranged  and  nicely  scheduled,  so  that  the  contests  moved  at  a  lively  pace 
all  day.  The  contests  consisted  of  literary  and  athletic  events,  exhibi- 
tions of  typical  games  which  could  be  played  without  playground  ap- 
paratus, agricultural  club  contests  and  art  and  industrial  displays.  The 
literary  events  consisted  of  declamation  contests  among  the  different 
grades  of  high  schools,  and  spelling,  arithmetic  and  music  contests.  .\11 
of  these  were  very  interesting  and  instructive  as  well  as  entertaining. 
The  games  and  drills  by  the  model  school  children,  under  the  direction  of 
Lillian  \\'.  Pierce,  were  excellent  and  deserve  much  credit  for  their  un- 
tiring efforts  to  perfect  their  work.  These  things  demonstrated  the  pos- 
sibilities with  young  children  if  some  one  will  only  guide  their  energies 
in  the  right  direction.  In  the  track  events,  the  beys  from  the  various 
schools  went  into  their  races  with  such  spirit  and  earnestness  that  one 
felt  that  each  one  ought  to  receive  a  prize  for  his  effort. 

The  alumni  taking  advantage  of  the  fact  that  this  large  crowd 
would  ha\'e  to  have  something  to  eat,  placed  lunch  counters  at  various 
places  on  the  campus  and  Wayne  Field  and  served  :he  guests  with  those 
things  which  the  tlay  would  demand.  It  was  very  amusing  to  watch  some 
of  our  seniors  behind  the  counters  serving  the  ice  cream,  lemonade,  etc. 

At  the  noon  hour  a  stranger  would  have  thouglit,  by  all  appear- 
ances of  the  groups  about  the  campus,  that  we  were  having  a  grand  pic- 
nic, and  in  the  evening,  after  the  four  thousand  had  left,  the  cam])us  look- 
ed like  a  picnic  ground. 

The  entire  day  passed  by  without  a  hitch  in  the  programme  and  many 
a  hai)])y  schocjl  boy  carried  home  with  him  a  pennant,  jjroud  of  what 
he  had  done  and  ]>roud  of  his  school.  The  aim  of  the  festival  was  to 
create  more  group  spirit  and  not  the  individual  so  that  the  children  of  a 
school  may  say,  that  is  our  pennant,  won  at  the  big  meet  at  the  Normal 
School.  We  hope  that  each  year  the  senior  class  may  witness  and  help 
along  this  grand  cause.

To-(l;iy  we  leave  our  Normal  School, 

And  friends  we've  made  while  here. 

To-day  we  raise  our  own  class  song. 

The  last  time  in  the  year. 

But  while  it  lasts  we'll  all  feel  glad, 

Forget  all  trials  and  sorrows, 

And  look  ahead  for  a  brighter  day. 

Which  surely  comes  to-morrow. 

So. — We'll  give  a  cheer  for  red  and 
black, 
For  sixteen  is  our  year. 
But  at  the  last  we'll  give  our  cry. 
To  our  .\lma  Mater  dear.

.And  each  will  take  the  best.

Vet  from  the  teachings  we've  had  here, 
Each  path  leads  to  the  crest. 
Each  life  has  grown  much  broader, 
Each  life  will  now  e.xpand, 
,-\nd  as  we  go  upon  our  way, 
We'll  brighten  all  the  land. 

So. — Chorus. 


Farewell!  We  leave  our  Normal  School; 

l^'arewell  to  friends  left  here. 

I'^arewell !  We  sing  our  own  class  song, 

The  last  time  in  the  year. 

Still,  we  will  meet  again  some  time. 

We'll  join  our  friends  again, 

And  then,  with  all  our  heart  andvi.icc. 

We'll  give  our  old  refrain. 

So. — Chorus.

CLASS     NINETEEN     SIXTEEN 


Listen  to  a  voice  prophetic. 
Count  the  links  in  Future's  chain. 
While  her  jewel  brightly  glistens 
O'er  the  scenes  of  her  domain. 
And  imagination  wanders 
To  the  barks  that  put  to  sea. 
And  the  Goddess  prophesying 
Of  all  the  wonders  that  will  be. 
But  if  doubts  will  cast  their  shadows 
On  a  link  with  jewels  decked. 
Then  remember  that  a  fairy 
Forged  these  links  for  her  elect. 

^^*  O  vou  believe  in  fairies^  Perhaps  not.  We  sliall  tell  you  what 
Jrl  hap]:)ene(l  to  .some  of  us  a  short  time  a,go.  One  day,  while  out  on 
*-j|i  south  campus,  looking-  over  some  impressions  of  the  old  Normal 
days,  which  we  are  leaving  forever,  the  trunk  of  the  great  sjjruce 
tree  opened,  and  (jut  stepped  a  dazzling  fairy.  She  held  a  brilliant  gem 
in  one  hand  and  a  globe  in  the  other. 

We  were  all  too  much  astonished  to  speak ;  before  we  could  recover, 
the  fairy  began  in  a  sweet  musical  \oice : 

"For  years,  oh,  prophets  of  the  Class  of  1916.  I  have  waited  to 
present  these  gifts  to  you.  ^"ou  have  always  been  friends  of  mine,  for 
when  small  you  used  to  visit  the  fairies  in  the  woods.  A  fairy  may  only 
visit  human  beings  once,  and  T  have  chosen  this  time,  because  1  can  be 
of  most  use  to  you.  The  globe  will  res'eal  the  future  of  your  classmates: 
a  turn  of  the  diamond  will  disclose  each  place,  whether  village  or  city,  to 
which  fate  has  directed  the  members  of  the  Class  of  1916.  \\'hen  the 
diamond  loses  its  luster  the  jirophecy  is  at  an  end. 

She  gave  us  the  globe  and  gem  and  when  we  looked  u])  to  thank  her. 
she  had  disappeared. 

Joyfully  we  returned  to  school,  thinking  and  hoping  that  our  task 
was  almost  completed.  However,  we  were  anxious  to  learn  the  fates  of 
those  around  us  and  so  \ery  soon  turned  the  diamond  as  she  directed. 

Lo,  we  beheld  the  city  of  Berlin.  Half  hidden  among  the  trees,  yet 
xery  stately  stood  the  castle  of  the  Kaiser  of  Germany  ( ft)rmerly 
Clarence  Stitz'er).  He  was  entertaining  members  of  the  Class  of  lyUi  in 
honor  of  Irene  Miller  and  Harry  Schoenle>'.  Irene  was  making  an  ex- 
tended trip  through  Euroi)€  studying  the  old  master.s  of  art.  while  Harry 
Schoenley  had  left  grand  opera  in  America  and  was  giving  concerts 
abroad.  Among  those  present  were:  Mr.  Lester  Nelson,  the  leading 
.\merican  chemist,  and  Mrs.  Nelson  (formerly  F.nola  Hovvett).  who 
were  visiting  (iermanv  on  their  wedding  journev  and  incidentally  ob- 
scr\ing  the  work  of  German  chemists:  Irene  Randall,  a  sttulent  in  a 
( iernian  conservatory  and  now  a  celebrated  singer,  and  Mary  rurcell.

— OP 
THE      SERPENTINE 


Mrs.  W'ilmer  Slionp  { {(jrmerly  Tillie  Meyer)  were  a  ixjpular  young 
couple  in  tlie  part\'.  Mr.  Shoop  was  the  American  Ambassador  to  Ger- 
many, while  Mrs.  Shoop  was  a  noted  suffrage  worker,  both  in  .\merica 
and  abroad.  The  party  was  l>eing  served  coffee  and  cake  by  a  little  Ger- 
man maid.  We  leave  tlieni  in  peace,  although  the  Kaiser  was  troubled 
aljout  commercial  affairs. 

At  the  ne.xt  turn  of  the  gem  we  were  taken  back  to  America.  Here 
we  beheld  the  vicinity  of  VVe.st  Chester  ten  years  hence.  Many  of  the  old 
buildings  and  points  of  interest  were  the  same,  but  a  fine  new  structure 
had  been  erected  at  Lenai^e.  It  was  the  Brandywine  University,  found- 
ed by  Mary  Barges  and  'I'hurlow  Schaeffer.  Many  of  our  classmates 
were  on  the  faculty.  Maurice  W'ebb  was  President,  while  Clara  Paul 
was  Preceptress.  Mary  Julia  Hackman  was  a  prominent  (jerman 
teacher,  and  Clifford  Timnions  head  of  the  Science  Department.  The 
chair  of  History  was  held  by  Ruth  Updyke,  that  of  English  by  our  Sec- 
retary, Lois  Fawcett ;  Emma  Andrews  was  at  the  head  of  the  PuIjIIl- 
.Speaking  work,  while  Mary  West  was  at  the  head  of  the  .\rt  Depart- 
ment. The  girls'  gymnasium  instructor  was  Olga  Ettlich,  and  Graydon 
Perry  was  the  boys'  athletic  instructor.  Elizabeth  Plunimer  was  a  Young 
Women's  Christian  .Association  Secretary  in  the  University  and  had  done 
marvelous  work.  The  University  was  growing  rapidly  and  President 
Webb  was  a  very  active  and  enthusiastic  educator  in  Pennsylvania.  Ray- 
mond Kauffman  was  .Su]3erintendent  of  the  Public  Schools  of  Chester 
County  and  was  very  much  interested  in  rural  school  work,  especially  in 
.\vondale  where  a  certain  "Fisher"  taught. 

By  another  turn  of  the  diamond,  we  were  carried  a  short  distance 
from  the  L^niversity  to  the  inside  of  a  beautiful  church.  A  marriage 
ceremony  was  being  performed  here.  The  newdyweds.  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Fretz  (formerly  Marguerite  Reiff),  were  receiving  congratulations  from 
many  friends,  while  the  nu'nister.  Luther  Lady,  looked  on  solemnly. 
About  them  stood  the  charming  maid  of  honor,  Rachel  Judd,  and  the 
bridesmaids,  Elizabeth  Beaumont,  Evelyn  Andstadt,  Ruth  Smith.  Julia 
Grace,  Ruth  Somers  and  Dorothy  Nash  and  the  best  man,  George 
Yocum.  Mrs.  hVetz,  on  her  way  out  of  the  church,  threw  her  bour|uet, 
which  was  caught  by  Esther  Loftus.  Among  the  guests  who  offered  their 
best  wishes  were:  Charles  Ostrum,  Mayor  of  Lenane;  Thaddeus  Wright, 
a  noted  attorney:  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Joshua  Baucher  (formerly  Elva  Blinn). 
( Mr.  Baucher  lieing  a  lesson  plan  demonstrator  for  Prof.  .\.  C.  Crom- 
w-ell),  and  Mary  (jarrett,  founder  of  the  .\vondale  Orjjhanage.  She  was 
assisted  by  Mary  Thomas  and  Grace  Moyer.  The  wedding  procession 
was  delayed  by  a  great  suffrage  parade  headed  by  Sara  Cuthbert  and  Eva 
Skillhorn.  .\mong  other  workers  were:  Mary  Keen,  .\lma  Ettlich, 
Elizalieth  Powell,  Mauu'e  Beswick  and  Elizabeth  Jaco1>s.  In  front  of  the 
public  building,  Helen  Jacobs,  the  most  noted  talker  of  her  age,  was  de- 
livering an  address.     After  speaking  for  several  hours,  during  which  the 

Page    251 


CLASS     NINETEEN     SIXTEEN 


Chief  of  Police,  Ernest  Craumer,  appeared  to  settle  a  dispute,  th'e  entire 
party  journeyed  to  the  station  to  wish  the  leaders  a  safe  journey.  At  tlve 
same  time  a  party  of  South  American  missionaries  left  their  friends  and 
relatives.  Those  of  the  party  were:  Sara  J.  'rhon:'as.  Chairman  of  the 
I^'oreign  Missionary  Society;  Anna  Bean,  Letha  Kunkle  and  Edna  Bid- 
well. 

The  diamond  was  lusint;'  its  luster.  (Iradually  the  dazzlin|j-  jewel  re- 
vealed what  we  were  wont  to  hear.  The  sun  was  growin_a^  cool  in  colors 
of  the  rainhow,  and  we  feared  the  spell  would  lea\'e  us  with  the  sinking 
g-low.  Shadows  settled,  falling-  close  and  thick  it  seemed.  But  .soon  all 
became  lighted;  yes.  but  not  the  light  of  the  sun  for  it  had  almost  gone 
beyond  the  crest  of  the  high  hill. 

Slowly,  softly,  the  music  of  a  great  orchestra  came  to  our  ears.  .\s 
the  strong  maze  of  the  brilliant  diamond  left  our  dazzled  eyes,  the  light 
of  an  opera  stage  and  the  design  of  wonderful  scenery  grew  real  before  us. 

The  audience  was  very  interesting,  especially  one  man  in  tire  most 
conspicuous  box  seat.  It  was  William  Conner,  the  author  and  play- 
wright, who  was  present  to  see  the  i)resentation  of  his  own  i)lay,  "The 
Modern." 

The  orchestral  curtain  signalled  the  beginning  of  the  play.  We  were 
not  at  all  surprised  to  see  Emilv  Wallace,  the  famous  actress,  play  the 
leading  part,  supported  by  the  following  company  ; 

Mr.  Makefield  ( a  capitalist )   Charles  Patton 

Percy  Makefield  (son  of  John  Makefield  ) Brandt  Earheart 

Mr.  Commonpeople  (a  consumer  ) Paul  Graves 

Mrs.  Makefield  (  wife  of  J.  Makefield  ) Ruth  Portz 

Mr.  Gradgrind  ( a  clerk  ) George  Dague 

Mr.  Neechin   ( a  factory  foreman  ) Harold  High 

Miss  High  Speer  ( a  stenographer  ) Margarite  Yoch 

Mr.  Whitehead   (a  clerk) Erank  Craig 

Mr.   Wallingford   (an  inspector  ) Merrill  Jones 

Count  Discount  (an  abuser)   Henry  del  Sobral 

Miss  Biplane  (an  adventuress)   Alverta  Andrews 

Miss  Lucklow  (a  fortune  hunter) Nellie  McLaughlin 

Miss  Canary  (a  grand  opera  singer  | Dorothy  Mertz 

All  at  once  the  scene  faded  into  dee]:)  shadows,  and  we  knew  that  the 
dianiiind  had  lost  its  luster.  The  sjiell  was  l)roken.  Seek  ha]')])iness  as 
you  roam  through  the  world.  lUit  remember  that  joy  and  sunshine  will 
come  to  you  only  when  you  are  frientUy  with  the  fairies,  no  matter  what 
liarl  fate  may  play. 

l<"uture  dropped  her  wand  and  hastened 

With  the  light  of  her  bright  jewel. 
Yet  v\'e'll  wait  a  bit  impatient 

For  the  light  of  its  renewal.  H.  E.  C.  'i6.

^^Tu  l)e  snial!  enoug'h  to  Ije  easily  handled  physically  is  the  first  requisite 
1|L  of  my  ideal.  He  must  be  a  man  of  whom  I  could  demand  his  pay 
^"^  envelope  unopened,  with  no  apparent  danger  to  myself.  He  must 
be  trained  to  speak  only  when  spoken  to,  and  then  only  in  a  becomingly, 
respectful  manner.  He  must  have  had  a  thorough  course  in  Domestic 
Science,  so  that  in  case  of  necessity  he  could  serve  as  cook  or  maid — I  be- 
lieve in  having  things  useful  as  Vv'ell  as  ornamental.  As  a  well  trained 
person  he  should  show  his  gratitude  by  having  a  becoming  air  of  faith- 
fulness and  subserviency  u])on  all  occasions,  both  pri\ate  and  ])ul)lic.  His 
mental  capacity  must  he  such  that  my  position,  as  master  of  every  situa- 
tion, will  not  he  unduly  terrorized.  Aliove  all,  as  nominal  head  of  the 
house,  he  must  be  ready  to  ])rotect  the  iKjnor  (if  his  home  and  family,  with 
his  life,  if  occasion  demands.

ALTHOUGH  Bayard  Taylor  says,  "Ideals  are  like  stars:  you  will 
never  succeed  in  touching  them  with  your  hands,  but  like  the  sea- 
faring man  on  deserts  of  water,  will  be  g'uided  by  tliem  and  will 
reach  your  destiny,"  let  me  take  you  into  the  realms  of  futurity 
and  dream.  \'ou  see  mv  ideal  woman — the  woman  of  my  dreams. 
She  is  of  good  physical  build,  of  medium  height  and  weight,  of  erect  form 
and  of  nearly  perfect  figure.  See  how  her  soft,  blue  eyes,  like  two  precious 
minerals,  are  sparkling  in  the  weird  light  of  dreamland.  How  deep  and 
sirper-human  the}-  seem,  reaching  back  intd  a  pure  sniil,  dreaniv  eyes,  fairy 
eyes,  with  dainty  elfin  lashes. 

And  her  hair!  soft  and  brown,  with  a  few  silken  threads  of  gold  intecl- 
w-oven  with  the  brown.  Her  soft,  natural,  beauteous  face,  i^owderless, 
yet  far  more  fragrant  with  the  sweetness  with  which  nature  has  bestowed 
it.  The  ruddy,  gently  poised  lips,  set  with  determination,  yet  a  sweet 
loveliness  which  shows  itself  on  o])portune  occasions!  Her  whole  com- 
plexion with  the  rosy,  bounteous  beauty  left  by  the  kiss  of  g^entle  winds,  a 
rich  glow  of  health  and  beaut>'!  .V  well-poised,  well  carried  head,  not 
too  indicitive  of  vain  ))ride,  Init  showing  a  just  pride,  is  set  on  perfect 
shoulders.  And  now-,  to  close  with  another  sentiment  of  Taylor's, 
"Once  to  meet  her,  ah.  to  meet  her!"

THE      SERPENTINE 


®\'  October  5,  1915,  at  a  meeting  held  by  the  teachers  and  stu- 
dents of  the  school,  a  suffrage  club  was  org-anized  for  the  pur- 
ix)se  of  interesting-  the  body  of  students  in  the  movement  fur 
equal  suffrage.  Since  this  present-day  problem  is  one  of  great 
im])ortance  and  especially  so,  when  in  the  c(jurse  of  a  few  weeks,  the 
voters  of  the  various  States  would  decide  whether  or  not  the  privilege  of 
equal  suffrage  should  be  granted,  it  seemed  wise  to  arouse  the  students 
to  see  the  ad\antages  and  disatlvantages  of  granting  the  franchise  to 
women. 

Woman  suft'rage,  the  ne.xt  stej)  in  the  further  development  of  dem- 
ocrac\-,  carries  with  it  certain  duties  with  which  those  who  are  to  receive 
the  benefits  .should  become  acquainted.  .V  closer  investigation  of  the 
local  condition  and  a  thorough  understanding  of  the  larger  national  prob- 
lems were  urged  by  the  club. 

The  meetings  were  held  every  Tuesday  evening  from  6. 10  to  7.00 
o'clock.  An  interesting  feature  of  one  of  the  meetings  was  a  contest  in 
which  fourteen  members  contended  for  a  prize  of  five  dollars,  offered  by 
Miss  Margaret  Kuhl  Kelly,  of  West  Chester,  for  the  best  two-minute 
speech  on  the  suft'rage  question.  The  prize  was  awarded  to  Miss  Eva 
Skillhorn. 

We  are  very  grateful  for  the  privilege  of  having  as  speakers,  Miss 
Maude  Bassett  Graham,  of  Swarthmore  College,  and  various  members  of 
our  facult\'. 

The  efforts  of  Miss  Everett  and  the  interest  taken  in  the  club  are 
greatly  appreciated.    May  the  club  have  much  success  in  the  future.

Minutes 

A  regular  meeting  of  the  Mustache  and  Bangs  Club  was  called  to 
order  on  Hig-h  Street  one  evening,  to  discuss  the  beautification  of  the 
said  articles. 

b'irst,  a  report  of  the  Tonic  CommiLtee  was  given — the  same  submit- 
ting, "Salvation."  "Mayonnaise,"  vm\  "Axle  Grease"  as  new  tonics.  The 
report  was  accejjted  and  voted  upon,  since  the  old  tonic.  Oyster  Stew,  w^as 
found  to  he  too  light  in  color.  The  club  chose  f(jr  its  new  tonic  the 
sweet  "Salvation,"  since  this  would  serve  a  double  purpose.  It  could  Ije 
used  as  a  lly  catcher  in  hot  weather,  as  well  as  stimulating  a  hair  growth. 

Xext  in  order  was  the  proposal  of  new  members.  The  following 
names  were  ])roposed :  "Tackv"  and  "Reds."  The  committee  on  bangs 
reported  favorable  work  being  done  for  Mr.  Menges. 

Some  (jne  suddenh-  disco\'ered  thnt  Mr.  Shoo])  had  a  bang  on  his 
mustache,  and  the  excitement  o\'er  this  led  to  a  m(.)tion  for  adiournmenl.

Remarks  of  Hon.  Newton  D.  Baker  before  the  members  of  the  Senior  class  in  the 
Reception  Room  of  the  Secretary  of  War. 

J  HAVE  all  my  life  been  a  victim  nf  being  under.-^ized,  and  s<>  have 
the  habit  uf  standing  upon  sumething  so  that  I  can  at  least  have 
the  pleaesure  of  seeing  those  to  whom  I  have  anything  to  say. .  . 
I  want,  if  I  may  be  (permitted  tu  itidulge  in  a  personal 
reminiscence,  to  say  that  I  have  the  pleasantest  recollections  associated 
with  the  county  from  which  you  come.  I  remember  very  well  when  I 
took  out  a  marriage  license  in  that  county,  and  I  had  the  good  taste  to 
marry  a  teacher  from  Chester  county,  so  that  my  associations  with  your 
county  and  its  people  are  pleasant  and  happy. 

1  am  particularly  interested,  however,  in  the  fact  that  you  young 
men  and  women,  who  are  going  to  be  teachers,  have  come  to  Washing- 
ton and  are  making  what  I  think  ought  to  be  regarded  as  a  patriotic  pil- 
grimage to  the  seat  of  government.  We  Ainericans  have  come  to  live 
in  a  good  deal  of  a  hurry,  and  we  often  take  a  slapdash  view  of  things. 
Information  comes  too  cjuickly  and  gets  twisted  so  in  the  spreading  that 
the  sobriety  and  sedateness  of  intellectual  operations  which  used  to  be  our 
characteristic  are  perhaps  not  so  cominon  nowadays  as  in  days  gone  by. 
And  1  want  to  say  just  one  sentence  by  the  way  of  the  trust  that  is  to  be 
reposed  in  you  as  teachers  of  the  young.  This  is  a  government  of  popu- 
lar opinion,  and  it  will  be  as  good  a  government  as  popular  opinion  is 
good.  It  will  be  bad  if  popular  opinion  is  bad.  The  way  to  get  a  good 
public  opinion  is  to  have:  first,  sound  information;  second,  sound  rea- 
soning; and,  third,  sound  emotions.  If,  in  your  course  as  teachers,  you 
can  impress  upon  the  young  who  are  committed  to  your  care  the  vice  of 
rapid  generalization,  the  fault  of  generalizing  from  too  few  instances, 
and  instill  that  patience  of  mind  which  will  make  them  wait  for  all  the 
facts  and  then  that  reasoned  judgment  and  that  soundness  of  feeling 
which  will  keep  their  judgment  sweet,  the  public  opinion  upon  which  the 
Government  in  the  next  generation  rests  will  be  wholesome  and  fine  and 
helpful  and  patriotic. 

Some  of  you  are  going  to  teach  little  children.  I  hope  it  will  never 
get  into  anybody's  head  or  heart  to  feel  or  lielieve  that  the  teaching  of 
very  little  children  is  of  less  importance  than  the  teaching  of  older  chil- 
dren. I  look  upon  your  occupations,  conducted  often  in  very  inuch  humbler 
surroundings  than  this  magnificent  Imilding,  as  far  more  important  to  the 
future  of  America,  taken  in  the  aggregate,  than  any  single  operation  of 
the  merely  governmental  agencies  that  you  will  see  here  in  Washington ; 
and  it  is  for  that  reason  that  I  think  it  is  especially  important  for  you  to 
see  how  the  Government  is  conducted,  in  order  that  you  may  get  a  new 
idea  of  the  dignity  and  importance  of  the  contribution  which  you  are  to 
make.

Tune — "A  Perfect  Day." 

HEN  we  come  to  the  end  of  our  Senior  year, 
And  we  sum  up  the  things  of  the  past : 

Then  we  think  of  tlie  tilings  that  might  ha\e  been; 
But  now  its  all  over  at  last. 


When  we  think  of  the  days  when  'twas  only  a  dream 

That  we  sometime  Seniors  would  be ; 
But  now  we  have  reached  that  once  longed  for  goal. 

And  our  dream's  a  reality. 

Well,  this  is  the  end  of  those  times  so  dear 

'Tis  the  severing  of  friends,  too; 
But  the  best  of  friends  will  meet  again  : 

For  real  friends  are  e\er  true. 

Now  our  Alma  Mater  we  must  leave  they  say ; 

But  our  thoughts  from  her  ne'er  will  part. 
And  Dear  Old  "Sixteen"  we  love  so  well 

Will  e'er  hold  a  place  in  each  heart.

This  world  is  old  and  likes  to  laugh, 

New  jokes  are  hard  to  find ; 
A  whole  new  editorial  staff 

Can't  tickle  every  mind. 
So  if  you  meet  some  ancient  joke, 

Decked  out  in  modern  g'uise. 
Don't  frown  and  call  the  thin_^  a  fake ; 

Just  laugh — don't  he  too  wise. 


Dr.  Green : — "Mr.  Sclirope,  name  the  kinds  of  comijliments.' 
Mr.  S.  (absent  mindedly)  : — "Present  and  absent." 


"Toady"  Henderson  (about  10.30  P.  M. )  : — "There  goes  that  girl's 
diamond  again.  I  hear  it  every  niglit  she  takes  it  off."  We  wonder  why 
Pearl  does  not  allow  us  to  see  her  "precious  stone"  instead  of  sitting  in

diamond,  for  it  sounds  like  a  trunk.

Mr.  K. — "Yes,  if  you  can  do  it  without  disturbing  anybody." 
Senior  (aside  )  : — "Does  he  think  I'm  going  to  eat  noodle  soup?" 


Soph  (watching  basket  ball  practice)  : — ".\nd  does  Weidman  play 
on  the  track  team?" 


Student: — "I  want  the  life  of  Julius  Csesar." 
Librarian  : — "Sorry,  sir,  but  Brutus  was  ahead  of  you. 

Tully: — "Where  is  my  crazy  bone?" 
Krick  : — "Did  you  look  in  your  head  ?" 


Dr.  Green  (in  class): — "What  is  the  matter  with  you.  anyway- 
( everybody  yawning).  Charles,  raise  tliat  back  window.  Why,  what 
makes  you  all  so  sleepy  ?" 

Charles  (laughingly)  : — "Oh,  we  just  got  out  of  History  of  'Ed'."

THE      SERPENTINE 


Our  promissory  note  for  $100,000,  payable  without  interest  in  8,888 
years,  this  little  sum,  which  we  have  Ijeen  careful  not  to  si^end  at  Talley's, 
we  leave  to  the  Directors  to  be  used  in  making  more  tennis  courts. 

These  are  gifts  small,  perishable  and  of  questionable  value  which,  as 
individuals,  we  bestow  on  those  remaining. 

And  as  to  those  things  that  are  really  worth  while,  the  opportunity  of 
having  many  good  times  within  these  walls,  and  the  privilege  of  making 
lasting  friendships,  the  hopes  and  enthusiasms  which  will  urge  you  for- 
ward and  at  last  our  motto,  "Follow  the  Gleam." 

These  we  leave  to  you  all  and  we  wish  you  all  success  and  happiness. 

This  is  the  will  of  the  Class  of  19 16.  In  a  few  hours  our  existence  as 
a  class  will  cease,  but  we  hoi>e  that  the  bond  of  comradeship  and  love 
which  brings  us  so  close  to  West  Chester  Normal  School  will  become 
firmer  and  stronger  as  the  years  go  by. 

In  every  respect  we  fully  confirm  our  aforesaid  will. 

In  testimony  whereof  we  have  hereunto  subscribed  our  name  and 
affixed  our  seal  this  21st  day  of  June,  in  the  year  1916.
