We know that this number will be increased by from 40 to 50 more. Our resources will be taxed to the utmost to provide for the largest body o f spring term students that ever assembled at normal. A t this writing every room in both dormitories has been en­ gaged and we have been compelled to seek rooms for our students in buddings adjoining the school. The large Schoch house has been rented and already 25 girls have been assigned to it for the spring term. Our faculty will be mcreased by at least four new teachers. W e have already secured Dr. J.H. Reber, formerly superintendent of the schools of Waynes- 6 T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD boro, and Miss Elizabeth Clever of Hagerstown who taught successfully at normal several years ago. We expect to be able to secure other teach­ ers who will still further strengthen our faculty. Our summer session of six weeks will open June 28, and close August 6. W e have every reason to believe that this session will be just as suc­ cessful as was that of last year. Already students are registering for the summer term. During the past two months we have received applications from our own state and New Jersey, for at least 300 teachers. Though the salaries offered were very attractive, we were unable to furnish one teacher as all our graduates who were available had long ago been located in good posi­ tions. From present appearances, teachers will be still more scarce dur­ ing the coming year and wages will be correspondingly higher. Boards of directors are already writing to us asking us to help them secure good teachers. We are anxious to help our graduates to the very best posi­ tions ppssible and we urge any of you who desire a change of position to write us at once so that we may be in a position to help you. Please be as definite as possible in indicating the kind of work that you would be willing to accept and the lowest salary. State, too, what your experience has been and give the names of persons to whom a superintendent or board of directors may write for information about your work. We make absolutely no charge for this work, but as there is more or less ex­ pense in the matter of correspondence, we shall appreciate it if all of you will enclose the postage required. We desire to call the attention of all of you to the new course of study for the normal schools that will soon go into effect. This course differs radically from the present course in that it emphasizes the pro­ fessional work. Though the course has not been formally adopted at this writing there is little doubt that it will receive the approval of the Board of Education at Harrisburg and the normal school principals. The new course will be based on two years training in advance of a four year high school course or its equivalent. Fifteen units of high school work will probably be required for admission. All the work, both pro­ fessional and academic in the course, will be of college grade. A large number of electives covering advanced work in mathematics, biological science, college English history and education will be offered. Gradu­ ates of the course will have no difficulty in entering the junior year in college. Those who are not graduates of four year high schools will be required to show to the satisfaction of the Department of Education that they have completed the required fifteen units of high school work. W e shall continue to offer the opportunity to take the academic work required for admission to this course. Students from the country districts and graduates of high schools, who have not had sufficient high school work, will be given the opportunity at our school to secure this T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E R A L D 7 work. Our academic department will give mature students the chance to do the required work in the shortest time possible. As soon as possible the normal school course will be made three in­ stead of two years in advance of a four year high school course, and at an early date a fourth year will be added, thus making the normal school course of collegiate rank. Undoubtedly all the normal schools of the state will be listed as Teachers’ Colleges and a regular collegiate degree granted. This move is along the line of that taken in other progressive states, and is the first of a series of concerted efforts to place Pennsylvania where it belongs educationally among the states of the nation. Higher salaries must be paid to teachers and the best way to secure these is to increase the qualifications required for teaching. Before we can expect to secure the salaries paid to professional men and women we must in­ sist on advanced requirements for all teachers. N ot only does teaching offer greater opportunities in the matter of salaries than ever before, but the need for teachers is also greater. We appeal to all of you to help us interest the strong young men and women of your community, in teaching. W e believe that we can give them the very best opportunities for a good education. Our students are now taking courses that will fit them for teaching in high school and for ad­ vanced standing in college. The new course will offer still greater oppor­ tunities. We must all unite in appealing to the boys and girls to go to normal. Remember that it is the word spoken b y you that counts. Our present enrollment is due to the activity of our graduates and their loyalty to the old school. We shall greatly appreciate your efforts if you will speak to the young men and women of your community and urge them to come to us. I f you will send us their names and addresses we shall be glad to write to them personally and do all that we can to have them enroll with us. Students are already enrolling for the fall term and those who desire rooms in the girls’ dormitory must enroll before the end of June, if they wish to secure them in that building. Finally we urge all of you to get ready for the 1920 Alumni Renuions. The classes of ’80, ’90, ’00, ’ 10 and ’18, are specially interested in their reunions, but we hope that other classes will be out in force. We have learned that the class of 95, is planning to celebrate its 25th graduation. These reunions have frequently been very successful, not only in point of numbers, but in the pleasure experienced in meeting classmates who had been widely separated. If they are to be really successful, however, considerable work must be done in advance of the meetings. The presi­ dents of the different classes should get to work at once and appoint their reunion committees. The class of ’80 is not so widely scattered as some other classes. It should be possible for the 13 members who survive to prove that 13 can be made a very lucky number by having the best re- 8 T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD union that any forty year class has yet held. George E. Gray, Esq., president of the class of '90, is a successful lawyer and his class mates are men and women who have won high place for themselves. This class ought to have a record breaking reunion among thirty year classes. We know that the class of 1900 is already at work and with Edgar McCullough in charge of the reunion something is bound to happen. 1910 is a big el ass from every point of view and its president, W . G. Fluke, should have no difficulty in getting a large number of his classmates together at normal. President Kenneth L. Preisler should be able to rally a large delegation from the class of 1918. Of course we expect all of you who can possibly do so, to be here no matter whether you are a member of one of the reunion classes or not. Don’t forget the big day, Tuesday, June 22. Mark it in your calendars and arrange to spend that day with us. With best wishes, I am, Fraternally yours, E z r a L e h m a n , ’89 SPECIAL BRANCHES AT THE SUMMER SCHOOL We have already received many inquiries as to special branches such as vocal music, French, drawing, etc. We are glad to be able to announce that courses will be given in vocal music, French, drawing and other subjects for which there may be a demand. M any of our graduates will be interested in taking one or more of these special courses. It will be to the advantage of all concerned of those who wish other branches than those included in the regular summer term courses, will write to the prin­ cipal indicating the type of work desired. Arrangements will then be made so that all may secure the desired branches. COURSE IN SCHOOL MEASUREMENTS TO BE GIVEN DURING THE SUMMER TERM The attention of our graduates and others who may be interested is called to the fact that a course in School Measurements will be given at normal during the summer session. Use will be made of the standard scales in reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, history, composition and other subjects. These tests will be scoredby students and results compared with those obtained in other institutions. So much attention is now being paid to matters of this kind that no teacher can afford to be ignorant of the use of tests, scales and measurements. REGISTRATION FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR, BEGIN­ NING SEPT. 6, 1920 It may seem a far cry to those who have not completed their regular high school work, when we speak of the school work of next year. It will be interesting to such persons to know that students who will be gradu- T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL HE R ALD 9 ated from high school in M ay and June are already registering for the fall term. This is a very wise course, since it enables the early registrants to secure pleasantly located rooms that wall not be available in July and August. We have very much the largest enrollment in our history and com­ paratively few of those who are now with us will leave at the end of the school year. We shall have fewer rooms than usual in both the girls’ dormitory and the main building for assignment to new students. Those who register early will secure the best rooms. From present appearances all the rooms in the girls’ dormitory will be engaged before the close of the school year. We shall still have very good rooms in the main building, but those who wdsh for any reason to secure quarters in the girls’ dormi­ tory are urged to send their registration fees of five dollars so that a room may be held for them. At a later time the high school application blanks may be sent to us. A LETTER TO CLASS OF 1900 Dear Classmates: Twenty years ago this coming June ninety-two members of the Class of 1900 received from C. V. S. N. S. a certain paper, called a diploma, which indicated, not that we had absorbed all the knowledge our teach­ ers could impart, but that we had sufficiently mastered the prescribed course to enable us to teach the youth, and fight our way to success in the world’s battle. On that memorable day, twenty years seemed a long distance away. Alas, those twenty years have sped all too quickly, and we are told by elderly folks that the next twenty will go even more swiftly. During these years we have lost by death seven members: Am y M . Smith, Mabel Morrow, Lloyd A. Gray, M ay McClellan (Badorf), W . P. Davis, H. M. Fogelsanger and R . J. Watson, otherwise known as “ B obby.” It has been m y privilege, in the years since we left school, to know intim­ ately of these six departed, Mabel Morrow, Lloyd Gray and “ B ob b y ” Watson; and I wish to testify in their behalf that all three of them were loyal alumni, a credit to our class and our Alma Mater. W e have no address for the following*classmates: Elsie M . First, Lula Morris (Arters), Harry W . Brown and Percy A. Hollar. If any classmate will furnish any or all of these addresses we shall appreciate it. T o the best of our recollection, there were few geniuses in the class but a mighty fine crowd of earnest, conscientious, hard-working young men and women, starting out with a determination to carve out for themselves success, and to see to it that this old world should be made somewhat better for their having lived in it. Perhaps your idea of suc­ cess hap changed somewhat in twenty years; perhaps the years have 10 T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E R A L D brought you wealth, or perhaps they have brought you no great amount of money, but you are able to see some other life rounded out and brought to full fruitage through some work or words of yours. Since that separation day in 1900, when we said “ Good-bye,” some of us have met but very few of our classmates, a few o f us have been privileged to meet at one time or another many of the class, but very likely no single member of the class has met and talked with every other member at some time during these twenty years. Tuesday, June 22, 1920, is Re-union D ay at C. V. S. N. S. We should like to see every member of our class on that day. Don’t you have an insurmountable longing to go back and again walk through the halls and peer into those classrooms, and stroll on the campus, and last but not least, greet your classmates and the faculty, particularly those members who were there in our day? - Mark the date NOW and don’t let A N Y T H IN G keep you away. We shall do all those things aforementioned, we shall renew our youth, join in the alumni parade, get together somewhere and have something to eat, have a little class lustory, some short speeches, and all in all, we ¡ahall make it a Red Letter D ay for C. V .S . N. S. and ourselves. Come. Very truly y Stirs, J. E. M c C u l l o u g h , Wilkinsburg Bank Bldg., Wilkinsburg, Pa.

An orchestra from Chambersburg furnished the music. Games were provided in the parlor for students who did not care to dance. January 12—The Press Club held an interesting meeting at which Mr. W . A. Nickles of Shippensburg delivered an address. A t the con­ clusion of his address he offered a cash prize to the member of the club who should write the best account of some phase of Normal School life.

This remarkable state of affairs was noticed by many people, and quite a few guesses were hazarded. Some thought it was due to the cessation of the Xmas rush, and others— well, no matter what they thought. The real secret was that those trains were bearing from different parts of the state, the members of the “ Big Six” who inhabited the upper story of the Gym during the Spring of 1918. A t six o’ clock in the even­ ing of that day, a crowd assembled in the P. R . R. Station at Harrisburg, who might have been mistaken for a Greek Letter Society of Yale or Harvard, to judge b’y the “ pep” they exhibited. The first move of the “ Big Six” was to adjourn to the Plaza Hotel, where they enjoyed a turkey dinner with all the “ fixins.” They were unanimous in the declaration that the meal was 1 A -j|| but also that chicken could not be surpassed,— under certain conditions. After the supper, we all went to the Orpheum Theatre, where we pitted our eyes against the hands of Thurston, the great magician. We were established in the front row and loaned our assistance to Thurston, both on and off the stage. He repaid us by telling our futures, the re­ sults of which were remarkable, considering the fact that he told one of the “ Big Six” who is already married that he would secure a beautiful sweetheart, and another one, who has no matrimonial tendencies, that his wife would have seven children. From the show we went to our room in the Hotel where we had a very pleasant, enjoyable and profitable time. W e were visited b y sev­ eral present and past students during the night. The session was broken up at last by the fact that one of the number was compelled to go to work. jjH H H H H H j The “ bunch” stayed in the city during Saturday, showing the city a good time, and incidentally having one in their own interests. The “ Reunion” formally broke up at 2:45 o ’clock on Saturday afternoon. One of the faithful, however, spent the night in the town of “ 0 . K . bread’ just across the river. This was the first of the Reunions. There will be more from time to time. It is given to only six persons to be in the inside of the “ big doins, but for twenty-five cents you can read all the proceedings except a few minor details in the “ Herald.” OBITUARY MEANS. M r. J. M cCord Means, who was for man years a member of the Board of Trustees and for years Treasurer of the normal school, died on February 15, at his home on Prince Street. T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD 17 We take the following account of his life from a Shippensburg paper. Death claimed another of Shippensburg’s well known, aged and highly respected citizens last Thursday night, January 15th, at 10:30 o'clock, when Mr. Joseph M cCord Means, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jos. M cCord and Jane W oods Means, and the last of thirteen children, departed this life at his home, 214 North Prince street, aged 85 years, having been born in Newburg, M ay 22,1834.

BASKET BALL Immediately following the close of the football season on November 22nd, the call for basketball men was issued. More than fifty men came out. Everyone was anxious to work hard and demonstrate his ability. The first game was scheduled for December 5th. .This gave the squad but ten days time to work into shape. Consequently a hurried reduction of the squad was necessary. The two games scheduled before Xmas resulted in defeats for C. V. S. N. S., but they served as an impetus for harder work and better organi­ zation on the part of the team. After returning from Xm as vacation, the team put in hard and stren­ uous work and determined to benefit from the first games of the season. Thus far the team has won five and lost two games since January 6. Circumstances surrounding the basketball squad resulted in a total reorganization of the team about February 10. Since then the team has won two very well-played games: one from Tarsus Club on their own floor, and another from the quintet from Beckley’s Business College of Harrisburg. The team now is in the height of its season and C. V. S. N. S. bids strongly to take into camp the balance of the opponents on its basketball schedule. The prolonged sickness of Charleton, who plays center, has handi­ capped the team to a considerable extent. However, Captain Fiekel, who was shifted from a guard position is showing up splendidly and con­ tinues to play his usual brilliant and consistent game in the new lineup. The determination and plucky spirit of Captain Fiekel has always, been an inspiration to his team. Grove, who has played guard is now in the forward position, and hi» flashy playing has baffled all his opponents. “ R e d ” is quick and sure and can always be relied upon to keep the team full of pep and ginger. Our other forward, Charlie Taylor, is dependable and steady. He came out late in the season, but his playing soon earned him a varsity jersey. The fact that “ Charlie” is playing with a handicap warrantsmore commendation of his spirit to do his best for his Alma Mater at all. times. 20 T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD “ Sam” Shearer, the star on many gridirons, also shines on the bas­ ketball floor. He is always present to break up the opponents’ plays. As a guard he is consistent and dependable. Nothing ever gets b y “ Sam.” B y sheer grit and hard work he earned his place as guard and now con­ tinues this type of playing, much to the annoyance of all his opponents. Eurich, the other guard, developed rapidly. He passed quickly from the second to the first team. He is in every play on his end of the floor and is always ready to go. The results of the games played thus far are as follows: C. V. S. N . S. 20 Methodist C lub......................................... .............. Dec. 5. D ec..12. M t.

The schedule for the reseves includes but six games. Four of these six games have been played. The reserves have won three and lost one. The spirit and fight of the scrubs is of the very best type. The scrubs have won the following games from the following schools: M t. Alto Reserves (2 games), Chambersburg High School. The quintet from Carlisle H .S. won from the scrubs in a fast game at Car­ lisle. W e congratulate the scrubs for their splendid showing. The Reserve line-up: Bolan F. Shope F. Kelley C. Neeley G.
