It was evening at Eagle Bay, a little inlet near the great city
of Barcelona. The sun had just disappeared below the horizon.
A calm, hazy light brooded over the earth, foretelling the coming
of the twilight. A few white fleecy clouds floated in the azure
sky. The wind was but faintly stirring and there was no sound
save the soft lapping of the waves as the water rose and fell with
that rhythmic motion which lulls the sailor to sleep and Alls the
tourist with a rapture that is beyond expression.
Several large schooners and smaller fishing smacks were
quietly swinging at anchor in the deeper water, and somewhat
apart from the rest was an open sailboat. In this were three men,
Donald McCune, Don Carlos and Juan Pedro.
These men were fishermen, rough and coarse looking, for
their clothes were weather-beaten and their faces tanned by many
days of work beneath the blazing sun and by many a passing
storm. They had lowered the sails and were resting after the
labor of the day, lighting their pipes, they abandoned themselves
to quiet reverie.
Finally Carlos said, “ Donald, you came to us suddenly and
unannounced; you have been with us for many years and now
we know no more of your past than we did when you came.“ '
“ Y e s,” said Pedro, “ I have always thought that your past
would be worth hearing and would make an interesting story.”
Donald at first demurred but finally consented to tell the tale
of his previous life and experiences. The men listened silently
and attentively as he unfolded the story of his life.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

“ I was born in Melrose, Scotland, nearly sixty years ago.
My father was a nobleman of high rank and was very wealthy,
but the wealth was of no consequence to me. I did not care for
the pleasures it brought and I hated the idea of living the idle,
purposeless life that my father, brothers and other relatives were
living. I hated to be bound by the bonds of conventionality. I
loved the sea and wanted to go as a sailor when I was only fifteen.
My father ridiculed the idea and forbade me to go. I rebelled
and he told me angrily never to darken his door again.
“ My mother and sisters were proud and I knew it would be
useless to seek aid from them. So, a penniless boy, I secured a
position on a vessel that was just leaving the docks for America.
I held that position for nearly fifteen years and during that time
my parents neither relented nor made any inquiry for me.
“ During my last trip to Scotland, I passed my old home. My
little sister, now grown to woman-hood, came down the steps and
passed me, drawing her skirts scornfully aside as she did so. She
did not dream I was her brother. I saw my mother’s face at the
window. She did not know me, but the picture of her as she sat
there is indelibly impressed upon my memory. From that day to
this I have heard or known nothing of my family.
“ On that last eventful trip to America my ship collided with
another. Some of the passengers were saved, but a greater num­
ber found a watery grave. I saved a tiny girl, who had been a
great favorite on the deck, but both of her parents were evidently
lost for no one ever came to reclaim her. I kept her and she is
the young woman whom you know as Marie, my homekeeper.
“ Then I came to Eagle Bay and you know the rest of my life
story. I am happy here and in the life I am leading. I do not
envy my brothers their wealth and would not exchange places
with them if I could. I am an old man now. Marie is the jo y
of my life. It is for her that I labor and have succeeded in saving
a snug little sum for her so that she need not know the hardships
and rough ways of the world when I am gone.
“ Well, boys, the moon has risen ; let us pull for home.’’
The hard faces of the other two men were aglow with tender­
ness as they spread the sails for the homeward run. The unfold­
ing of that chapter in their comrade’s life had awakened new in­
terest in them for him and his fair homekeeper.

Miss B e r t h a O y l e r , ’09.

The flaming sun was slowly dipping into the western sea.
It sent forth its last golden rays across the shimmering water,
and its darts pierced the sky. The gray mossy walls of the Citadel
of Montjovick, and the stone spires of Santa Maria del Mar rose
clear cut against the blue sky. They spoke of ancient power and
past grandeur. The three aged fishermen sat in the bow of the
boat as it drifted into the crowded harbor. A ll were silent. As
old Monde gazed on the scene his heart became sober as his eye.
He woke from his abstraction with a sigh and began this story:
“ Paola and Castimo, this twilight has recalled another of
years gone by. In the gay colored woods, bordering Barcelona
and the shore, lay a gypsy camp. A ll was still. Barca, the
chief, and his aged counsellors assembled outside the tent to dis­
cuss the threatened danger. The old soothsayer within hummed
a low tremulous melody. The chief’s son ran out the winding
path of the jutting clifi. He sat beside a huge boulder, hugging
his knees, and rocked back and forth. He loved to watch the
setting of the fierce god. It sank lower and lower, and almost
simultaneously the moon arose; and the blue Mediterranean
waters changed to black with a silver sheen. On the sheet of light
across the tranquil sea a shadow fell. Another and another fol­
lowed. They moved and were hidden in the shade of the preci­
pice. The moonlight flickered on the upraised cliff as the
shadows emerged from the dark, and in the ghostly shimmer, the
boy was startled by a fleet of boats approaching the shore. There
were no sounds save the swish of the sea against the bows and
sides of the boats.
“ A muffled voice said, ‘Band ho!’ There was agreatrushot
men for the shore. Their spears and armor glittered in the light
of the moon and stars. The boy, in his effort to crouch closer to
the rock, dislodged a stone. It rumbled down the cliff and
splashed into the sea, but was unheeded by the landing force.
They disappeared in the wood and approached the gypsy camp.
The terrified boy ran with all speed for camp, but he dared not
pass that mysterious band. He sank with fear behind a shelter­
ing rock. He heard the sounds of the camp and the plaintive

4

minor of tlie old woman’s chant. Suddenly all sounds ceased.
The weird chanting of the woman died away, and for one brief
moment the magic stillness of night reigned. Then screams,
shouts and curses, intermingled with the cries of women and
children rent the air. The eyes of the trembling boy ached with
their endeavor to pierce the darkness. Soon flames leaped sky­
ward. Fifty gypsy tents were now fifty pillars of fire. Ere the
flames died away, the whole gypsy band, surrounded by the
armed troop, were marched down the path to the sea. A t the
point of the spear they boarded the boats. The terrified boy
cried out, but his cry was unheeded. He ran to his favorite seat
on the cliff and saw the moorings loosed. The boats sailed out
and out until they became mere spectres on the moonlit sea. The
threatened expulsion of the gypsies had occurred. No remnant
of the ancient race remained save the boy on the cliff. A Moor­
ish priest found him ht daybreak wandering amid the desolate
scenes of his home. He took him to the mosque, and taught
him the arts and the hatred o f the Spirit of Evil, but the boy felt
singularly alone in this strange life. His eyes were ever turned
toward the sea. After five years he stole forth from the Moorish
mosque. On a dark stormy night he hid on a fishing vessel, hop­
ing that he might sail over the sea and find his lost people. That
boy is now an aged man in whose face is seared an insatiable
longing, but in whose heart the mysteries and traditions of an
ancient people have burned for fifty years. Mine has been a
hopeless seach. Now you understand why the sea has held me
so long beneath its magic spell” .
The mellow light of the dying day reflected three thoughtful
faces, as they moored the boat in a sandy shoal; and a dying sun­
beam bade “ good-night’ ’ to the fishermen of Barcelona.

lEbitorials.
It is indeed gratifying to state that the prospect for the spring
term this year is remarkably bright. About one hundred and
twenty new students have already enrolled. With such a splen­
did equipment, strong faculty, charming locality, and healthful
climate, it is not surprising that thoughtful and ambitious
students should select as their school the C. V . S. N. S.
During the past two years there has been throughout the
state a great interest in establishing school libraries. This is in­
deed good. We all know that books and libraries while not an
absolute necessity are a necessity to the highest realization of the
public school idea. This idea is not simply the training and in­
structing of individual pupils, but also the pervading of commu­
nities with the spirit of intelligence and culture. The students of
our schools need to read at home and to spend their leisure hours
in converse with the thoughts of great men. In the great major­
ity of the school districts there are no extensive private libraries,
and but small resources of books to draw from. Hence it seems
absolutely necessary for the highest culture of the pupils in our
schools and for the citizens of our communities, that there should be
a library more or less extensive connected with every school. This
library should contain books of sufficient variety to supplement
the studies of the curriculum, especially in history and literature,
and to fill the minds of the pupils with noble and graceful images
and immortal and inspiring truths.

faculty iRotes.
Prof. J. F. Newman delivered two addresses at the Waynes­
boro Institute on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. They were both praised
most highly. He also addressed local institutes at Lehmasters
and Centreville during February.
Among those who attended the Hoffman Recital, at Carlisle,
were Misses Matthews, Gray and Davie.
Miss Huber, of the Art Department, heard Calve in Carmen,
at Harrisburg, in her last American concert.
Prof. J. S. Heiges was recently elected Junior Warden of
Cumberland Valley Dodge F. and A . M. Prof. Heiges will make
a good officer.
Miss Gray directed the Presbyterian choir, augmented by
Profs. Adams and Kunkleton and several of the students, at the
installation services of Rev. Mr. Bosserman.
Dr. Martin delivered the charge to the people at the instal­
lation of Mr. Bosserman. He also attended the dinner at the
Philadelphia Branch of the Alumni of Lafayette College, at the
Bellevue Stratford, on March 12. He delivered three addresses
at Nanticoke, Luzerne county, at a local institute on March 13-14.
Miss Ada Horton, the polite and capable secretary of Dr.
Martin and the popular preceptress of the school, has been quite
sick during the past month. She has entered the Woman’s Hos­
pital at Philadelphia, and we hope to have her again with us, in
perfect health, by the opening of the Spring term.
Prpf. Stewart delivered his lecture, “ Abraham Lincoln,” at
Oakville and Fairview during February. He also responded to
toasts at the 50th Anniversary of Cumberland Valley Lodge F.

Hose Company, of Shippensburg, on February 20th.

Change of Ceacbers.
Prof. W. M. Rife, who for the past eight years has been the
head of the English Department of the school, much to the regret
of all, resigned his position on February 1st, ta accept the principalship of the public schools at Reynoldsville, at a greatly in­
creased salary.

THE NORMAE SCHOOL HERALD

In the removal of Prof. Rife Normal loses one of the strongest
teachers that she has ever had. The English Department has
always prospered under his careful control. He is a thorough
gentleman, a deep scholar, a fine speaker, and an upright Chris­
tian man.
He, together with his good wife, will be greatly missed by
all. The H e r a l d , while deeply regretting his departure, e x ­
tends to him Godspeed in his new field of labor.
Dr. C. H. Gordinier, who for two years was the head of the
Latin Department of the school, and who for the past two years
has been Dean of Kee Mar College, Hagerstown, Md., has been
elected as the successor of Prof. Rife. Dr. Gordinier needs no
introduction to the alumni and students of the school. His suc­
cessful record while here is a sufficient commendation for him.
He is thoroughly equipped for his work in English and will main­
tain the high standard of excellence set by Prof. Rife. The H e r ­
a l d extends to him a cordial welcome and we feel that we are for­
tunate in having him again in our midst.
Prof. Dale Krunkleton, a gradute of this institution and also
of Ursinus college, was elected a member of the Faculty, and as­
sumed his duties February ist. Mr. Krunkleton is assisting in the
work of the History and English departments and is doing good
work. He also is coach of the base-ball team.
The Spring Term Teachers have not yet been selected but it
is the purpose of Dr. Martin and the Trustees to select three ex­
perienced and successful teachers for next term.

The reception and dance of the class of nineteen nine was
held on Saturday evening, March yth. The receiving line con­
sisted of Dr. and Mrs. Martin, Miss Grey (the dean of the class)|
President Markley and Miss Jackson, the Secretary. They formed
in the school reception room at seven o ’clock and received the

students of the school and the guests of the class, who were intro­

After the reception all repaired to the Chapel, where the fol­
lowing interesting programme was rendered:

The address of Dr. Martin was a masterly effort. His sub­
ject was “ Ninevah, the Lost City,” and he traced in a most log­
ical and eloquent manner the history of the once famed city of
the East.
The prizes for the best essays were awarded to Miss Seabrook,
Miss Oyler and Mr. Cutshall. They were five dollar gold pieces.
After the program in the chapel was completed the dance
was held in the gymnasium. This was indeed one of the most
elaborate and enjoyable events ever held at Normal. The Chambersburg orchestra of ten pieces played the dance music in bril­
liant style, and the programme of twenty dances was thoroughly
enjoyed.
Misses Gray and Huber, with the various committees, are
entitled to great praise for the work which they did in decorating
the chapel and gymnasium. The decorations were simply beau­
tiful, and with the various flags and pennants of the colleges and

schools, the class emblems, the gay bunting and the fragrant
flowers, presented a picture that will long remain in the memories
o f all who were fortunate enough to be present.
Lemon punch and cake were served during the evening by
handsome and graceful young ladies of the class, and at eleven
thirty the dancing ceased and the first public event of the class of
nineteen nine was ended.

Opening of linfirmacp.
On Washington’s Birthday afternoon, between the hours of
three and five, the infirmary was opened for inspebtion. This is
the gem of our new buildings and all were glad to have an oppor­
tunity of examining it. Tea was served by Mrs. Martin and
Miss Hartley, assisted by several ladies attired in Martha Wash­
ington dress, and a most pleasant social time was enjoyed.

Senior Class Excursion.
The annual excursion of the Senior Class to Washington will
be made the 7th, 8th, and 9th of May. This excursion is open to
all friends of the school. Any one desiring information please
address Prof. J. S. Heiges, who conducts the tour.

^Lecture Course.
The last two lectures of the course were delivered during
February by Dr. E. D. Warfield, President of Lafayette College,
and Dr. Ellis Thompson, Principal of the Boys’ High School,
Philadelphia.
Dr. Warfield lectured on “ The Constitution of the United
States.” His lecture was much appreciated by the students and
was instructing and eloquent.
Dr. Thompson’s subject was “ Modern European History.”
He treated it in a most fascinating manner and captivated his
hearers by his clearness and simplicity.
We feel that the lecture course this year has been most bene­
ficial and that we have been greatly helped by having such dis­
tinguished men as Dr. Warfield, Dr. Thompson and Professor
Wilkinson lecture to us.

o f congratulatory comment from all visiting “ old” members.
The generosity and animation, with which the demands ot

Easfeet Ball.
The basket ball team has just closed a remarkable season,
and its record stamps it as not only perhaps the best team that
ever represented Normal, but as one of the best Scholastic teams
in Pennsylvania.
Prof. Heiges, the coach, is to be congratulated in his success­
ful efforts to turn out a winning team. His ability to develop new
material is wonderful and his careful and earnest coaching is
greatly appreciated by the school.
The five men who played through the season with such great
success were:— Cowan and Morrison, forwards; Schaeffer, center;
Craig and Hoffman, guards. Good was the substitute.
Thirteen games were played, and out of that number the
Normal won eight.

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL, HERALD

IS

The first game was with Walynesboro High School, on our
own floor, and they were overwhelmingly defeated by a score of
53-10. In this game Morrison and Cowan excelled for our five,
the former having 9 goals to his credit and the latter 7.
The second game was played at Waynesboro, again with the
High School team. We lost by the close score of 17-20. A
room with a very low ceiling and a poor floor interfered much
with the playing.
The next game was with the crack Mont Alto School ot
Forestry. They were not in it with us, however, and we defeated
them 23-12. Every man on the team played a great game and
completely outclassed the husky Foresters.
Harrisburg High School came next and we simply smothered
them to the tune of 53-13. In this game Cowan threw 12 goals
and every man got at least one.
Lebanon Valley College next appeared and in a rough game
was defeated 10-0.
We journeyed to Steelton for the next encounter and were
defeated by Steelton High School 28-20. We should have won
this game as we led up to the last few minutes of play. Dailey,
for Steelton and Cowan, for us, excelled.
The Dickinson Law School came next. They were an ag­
gressive five, but were outclassed. 30-13 tells the story. In
this game Cowan threw 8 goals and Craig 5.
The next game was with Wyoming Seminary and was the
best of the season. They beat us 25-19, but only after the
fiercest kind of a struggle. Each team was in the lead at various
intervals and the excitement was intense.
Steelton High School was played next, on our floor, and
this time we badly beat them by a score of 45-22. Cowan threw
12 goals; Craig and Morrison each threw 4. Gaffney excelled for
Steelton, securing five.
We next journeyed to Myerstown to play Albright College.
Here we met defeat, after a close contest, 24-25. The cause of
this defeat is clearly understood when it is known that 16 fouls
were called on our team and but two on Albright. Craig played
the star game for us.
The Felton Athletic club of Steelton next appeared on our
floor only to be swamped 54-31.

16

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL HERALD

The closing game of the season was with Kutztown Normal,
and they were easily defeated by the score 36-4. In this game
Cowan secured 9 goals.
After such a successful season, the H erald desires to thank
the men for their faithful work. They all did well, and Good,
the substitute, proved his worth in several of the games. Cowan
is undoubtedly the fastest man on the floor that ever represented
Normal and his record for the season is phenomenal. Morrison
is a fitting team-mate for him. Hoffman and Craig are a pair o f
guards hard to beat, and Schaeffer is a cooUheaded and quick
center. The red and blue has been nobly upheld by this team,

the misfortune to have had his house demolished by a storm. The
following is taken from a letter written by Mr. Hoover to Bishop
Oldham :
“ East night a storm little short of a hurricane, swept over
Sibu, and our house is a complete wreck. We were not saying
much about it, because we wanted to surprise you and Mrs. Old­
ham. We built it after the plan approved by you and Dr. West
two years ago, on the site given by the rajah. It was sixty feet
long and 40 feet wide, with a veranda twelve feet wide in front
and nine feet wide along one side. The lumber was all of the
very best, and the carpenters planed and finished every piece al­
most to perfection. Every joint was mortised and pinned, and
the posts set in the ground four feet with the earth stamped around
them. The house was pronounced by everybody the best in the
place for workmanship and. good lumber. A ll the framework
was complete, one side of the roof was on and the other side about
one third done. The storm struck the unfinished side and caught

18

squarely under the finished side, fairly lifting the whole structure
from the ground and then dashing it down— there is hardly a
whole piece of lumber left. I f we recover $300 or $400 from the
wreck we will do well, so that our loss will be more than $2,000”

We clip the following from a Greencastle paper:
Mr. Rhodes was born in Antrim township, near Kauffman’s
station, April 8, 1881, the second son of the late W. Lee Rhodes,
and there he was raised. He attended the public schools here,
graduated at the Shippensburg Normal School and at Mercersburg Academy and the Dickinson Law School, and with his
brother, Joseph L. Rhodes, located at Clarksburg, W . V a., in
1902. In addition to their large law practice there the Messrs.
Rhodes were extensively interested in the real estate business and
at the time of Mr. Rhodes’ death his brother was in Alabama,
looking after some real estate investments there. Twice Mr.
Rhodes was honored with nominations for office by the Democrats
of his county; in 1905 he was nominated for Mayor of Clarksburg
and, while defeated for election, it was only by a narrow margin;
again last Fall he was named for the House of Delegates and in
a spirited campaign he reduced the large Republican majority in
the county very greatly.
He was an active member of the Goff Methodist Episcopal
Church of Clarksburg and superintendent of the Ash Chapel Sun­
day School; he was also Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of
West Virginia, I. O. O. F., a member of the B. P. O. Elks and
Maccabee Lodges and a Mason.
Here in his old home where his many friends had watched
Mr. Rhodes’ rapid rise in his profession with much pleasure the
news o'f his untimely end was received with the deepest regret
and sorrow. No death in years has so generally shocked the
community as did his, and expressions of sorrow and of sympathy
for his bereaved family were heard on every side.
The body, accompanied by a delegation of Odd Fellows from
the Clarksburg lodge, arrived here yesterday morning at 9.21
o’clock and was taken to the Rhodes home on South Washington
street from which the funeral took place this afternoon at 2
o ’clock. Services were held at the Rhodes home by the Rev. I.
N. Peightel, pastor of the Reformed church here, assisted by the
Rev. Arbuthnot, pastor of the Goff Methodist church, of Clarks­
burg, who was Mr. Rhodes’ pastor, and who accompanied the
body here, and interment was made in Cedar Hill cemetery.
The H e r a l d staff extends sympathy to Mr. Rhodes’ family.

E xch an ges.
Since our last issue, a goodly nnmber of “ exchanges” have
come to our table. In all we have found much that is interesting
and entertaining, while several have contained articles of excep­
tional excellence.
The “ Susquehanna” is sustaining its high grade of literary
work. “ Nature as Teacher” in the January number and “ Com­
mercial America” in the February are especially well written.
The “ Crucible” continues to be among the most optimistic
of our exchanges. From its columns we quote the following:
“ Turn failure into victory
Don’t let your courage fade;
And if you get a lemon,
Just make some lemonade.— E x ."
A novel feature of the February “ Muhlenberg” is a story
written in “ Pennsylvania German.” It is to be published as a
serial, and if we may judge by the first chapter, the story prom­
ises to be worth the labor of translating it.
The “ Perkiomenite” is a bright, “ newsy” journal.
“ Parsing of a kiss.” — It is a noun though generally used as
a conjuction which is never declined. It is more common than
proper. It is never very singular and is generally 'used in the
plural, agreeing with you and me.— Ex.
The “ Forum” contains a number of good stories.
icism of “ Poe and the Raven” is cleverly written.

The crit­

The February “ Argus” is almost entirely given over to
“ Signs, Traditions and Supersitions.” More variety along liter­
ary lines would be an improvement.
The “ Mercury” for March is an excellent journal. Its ar­
ticles on “ Political Reform” and ‘ ’National Ruin” are particu­
larly strong.
fe f‘Rife is real, life is earnest,
And it might be made sublime,
I f we were not kept as busy.
Studying Latin all the time. ” — E x .

THE}

n o r m a l sc h o o l h e r a l d

“ The Big Carp” in the “ Dickinsonian” is a well told story,
possessing that element of interest which makes all “ true fish
yarns” entertaining.
The increased number of essays in the March “ College
Rays” is a great improvement to the paper
“ I f a body meet a body
In the lower hall,
Can’t a body stop and talk?
Not at all, not at all.
Can’t we talk our troubles over,
Comfort get and give it too?
When we see the Doctor coming
Must we all ‘skidoo?’ ” — E x.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

G E N E R A L STA T E M E N T .
The purpose of the Cumberland Valley State Normal School
is to prepare young men and women for the office of teacher in
our public schools. To this end the course of study, the methods
of instruction and the equipment of the school are most carefully
adapted.
Thorough knowledge of the fundamental branches of study
is the first thing. Without this no one is prepared to teach, no
matter what may be his attainments in other branches.
The growing efficiency of our high schools in Pennsylvania
and the adjoining states is enabling us to secure students better
prepared for the work of our classes, and we are thus able to se­
cure a higher grade of work from them.
Our course of study gives an opportunity for some insight in­
to the more advanced subjects of study, such as Psychology and.
the sciences. We offer also good opportunities for the study and
training in Music and Fine Art, but these are not recommended
to our regular students till they are thoroughly grounded in the
fundamentals.
English Grammar and Composition, Arithmetic and Algebra,
U. S. History and Geography are the ground work of all educa­
tion. Latin is essential to a good knowledge of English. These
are the substantial studies of the first year, and must not only be
known but made familiar.
Then the more technical studies of the teaching profession are
given careful attention.
Chemistry and Physics are presented in such a way as to
give accurate and practical acquaintance with the principles of
these sciences— a safe and sure foundation for any course of study
in these subjects however advanced or specialized.
Other Sciences, other History, Civil Government, Literature
and Languages are included in the course of study, but our aim
is not to extend our course to cover the whole field covered by a
college curriculum, but to put our best energies into the complete
mastering of the fundamentals mentioned above.
The teaching force of the school consists of twenty-one mem­
bers. Every one is not only well educated, but has had exper­
ience in teaching. A t the head of each department is a professor
who is responsible for all the work of that department, though he
may have one or more colleagues in the work.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

27

In addition to the theoretic studies of the course, the Model
School conducted by the Pedagogical Department, offers valuable
opportunities for the practical application of principles taught in
the class room, and experience in active teaching.
The Cumberland Valley is famous for its beauty and its cli­
mate. Nothing in this latitude east of the Rocky Mountains is
equal to it as a place for schools. Shippensburg is a town of some
three thousand people renowned for its churches and its prohibi­
tion. The are no saloons within ten miles of the town.
The Cumberland Valley, the Reading and the Western
Maryland railroads make it easy of access from all points.
The school buildings are situated on the edge of the town, in a
large campus beautifully kept. The water supply is from moun­
tain springs, clear and pure and wholesome.
Our students are for the most part from the substantial fami­
lies of Central Pennsylvania. They come from good homes and
almost without exception are well taught in scripture truth and
Christian morals. They are a sturdy and diligent class of young
people, bent on getting the worth of their time and money. The
tone of the school is remarkably earnest, but none the less bright
and merry and sweet.
Everything that can be done is done to make the school days
the best days, fullest of pleasant memories and freest from all
that may bring sorrow or remorse.
It is the constant effort of the faculty to co-operate with the
students in maintaining a bright and refined home life, and to
help them in the cultivation of that grace and dignity of deport­
ment that marks the real lady or gentleman.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.
1. Candidates for admission to the Junior class must be
well versed in all common school branches, including Grammar,
U. S. History and the elements of Algebra and Physiology.
2. A certificate of high school graduation will be accepted
in lieu of examinations in the foregoing subjects for admission to
the Junior class.
3. Students may be admitted at any time during the year,
but it is very much better if possible to begin at the opening of
the Fall Term.
4. Students will not be permitted to board outside the
school except with parents or near relatives.
