PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
B B
opened asl usual;?’ I was about to write but I realize
that there were many unusual features about the opening days. We
had splendid weather and the students came to us on the usual trains
Ihe number o f automobiles parked about the campus was larger
than on previous years'. But school did not open “ as usual.” The
girls came in large numbers. It is true that we missed three or
iour who had expected to be with us, but who have been called to
various services connected with the war. Large numbers o f new
girls were with us and it was, evident that as far as the girls were
concerned, there would be little, if any fading o ff from last year’s
enrollment.
,
^ e teachers came as usual We missed two o f them who had
been with us for several years, but their places had been filled by
men who were on hand to take up the work. But we all missed the
;boys. The senior class had been hard hit, as it lost a number of
strong men who had recently entered the training camps. Men were
so urgently needed in every department o f life that many o f the
boys who had expected to come to us could not be with us.
We could not help noting, too, that the number o f students
under 17 was very much larger than it had ever been. This was
most gratifying as it showed that our young people and their parents
are awake to the possibilities and responsibilities ahead.
|j, Possibly the most marked feature o f the opening of the new
School year was the deep earnestness that characterized both the
boys and the girls. They were full o f life and vigor but they went
about their work with a seriousness that was unusual. This has

2

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

manifested itself in a variety of ways. The girls have undertaken
the problem o f student government. The day student boys also
have a splendid student organization. The Y. M. C. A. found three
o f their leading cabinet officers gone but the other boys stepped to
the front and have:'Shown a determination to “ carry on” the work
o f the organization. No, school did not “ open as usual” this year .
A most gratifying feature is the size o f the freshman class, one
o f the largest that we have ever had. The sophomore class lost a
number o f its members to the teaching profession, but they hope to
come back to us eventually and to complete the course.
The authorities o f the school had hoped that it would be pos­
sible for the government to organize vocational student army train­
ing corps and for a time it seemed as though such a corps would be
authorized. In the end the War Department found it possible to
organize only the S. A. T. C., which requires thirteen units o f high
school work for admission. Our school was designated as one o f
the places at which such a corps could be organized. I visited
Washington and after going into the matter thoroughly, took the
matter up with our faculty. We decided that we could render a
greater service to the state and the nation by continuing our work
in training teachers. We found that it would be practically impos­
sible fo r those Who entered the S. A. T. C. to take the regular
Normal course because o f the intensive training required fo r mili­
tary service. We accordingly asked permission o f the government
to cancel the designation o f our school for the S. A. T. C., though
at the same time offering the school to the government for any
future service that it may wish us to render. The desired per­
mission was granted us.
We expect to have military training in the school in a very
short time. This will be given under the direction o f an army
officer. At the same tune it will be possible for the students to
continue their regular work until called into the army service.
During the summer many improvements have been made about
the buildings and grounds. The entrance to the girls’ dormitory
has been rebuilt and greatly improved. Electric lights are- bemg
installed in the first, second and third floors o f the administration
building. The boys’ lavatory has been thoroughly overhauled, in
fa c t,. practically rebuilt. Shower baths have been put in and a
thoroughly modern system o f heating introduced into the boys
dormitory. The gymnasium has also been overhauled and repaired.
In short the building is greatly improved and modernized ns a result
I desire to express my gratification at the splendid work that is
being done for the school by the Alumni. We are passing through
times that.try the souls o f institutions as well as o f men. Our
present attendance is made possible only by . the continued interest
o f our Alumni. We are planning to do our “ bit” in every form of
war activity. During the Coming year the school will take an active

THE NORMAL

part in the bond campaigns, the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. work.
We shall try to come into still closer touch with the public school
system and to anticipate its needs. We must not allow the public
schools to suffer. We appeal to all o f you to help us do our part,
by sending us strong men and women who will prepare fo r the great
opportunities that teaching is about to open. I believe that teaching
will offer greater opportunities' fo r service with adequate compensa­
tion than will any other occupation. We want your help so that we
may give the service to the state and nation that it is our duty and
privilege to render.
With best wishes, I am,
Fraternally yours,

MEMORIAL

FRANK CARBAUGH, ’17,
Died in. an American Hospital, -Somewhere in France,
August 1, 1918.
(When the news came that Sergeant Frank Carbaugh, T 7, had
made the supreme sacrifice in an American Hospital, Somewhere in
France, we felt that somehow or other the great world tragedy had
come very close to us.) We knew that Frank had been wounded and
that he had been operated upon in thé hospital, but we were, all
expecting to hear that he had come back to us to recuperate. His
letters had been so optimistic as' he wrote o f his plans fo r the
future. He hoped to go back on the firing line, “ to carry on” till
vistory was won, bqt he knew that it would be some time before he
would be able to do that. Then the bolt came out o f a clear sky.
Frank Carbaugh had “ gone west.” No words o f ours could tell so
well the heroism o f his life and death as the simple story on page
seven.
\ Frank Carbaugh was a splendid young man— earnest, sincere,
in everything he did. He was an independent thinker and during
his life -at Normal he worked out for himself one o f the great
problems that every young man must meet. Out o f the doubt and
indecision he wrought 'his way to. faith in eternal truth. He be
came an active member o f the Y. M. C. A. and none did better work
than he. He was active in all the school life,— in athletics^, in de­
bating, in the literary society, in dramatics,— in short, in every type
o f school activity.
He entered the army and for a time wasgjstationed at Camp
Colt, Gettysburg. He was speedily advanced to the rank o f a ser­
geant and endeared himself to a ! the men with whom he came in
contact. Then he crossed the water and in the bitter fighting near
Chateau Thierry, was badly wounded by machine gun fire. Unfor­
tunately he could not be rescued for some time and infection devel-

oped. In spite,o f the heroic efforts o f surgeons he died during the
fourth operation.
He is gone, but in the larger, better sense he is with us. His
name will be commemorated and handed down to the students who
come to the Normal School in the years that are to follow. In his
life and death he exemplified the best traditions of the Cumebrland
Valley State Normal School.
ARTHUR D. NOLL, ’17,
Died at Naval Reserves Hospital at Hampton Roads,
September 25, 1918.
Arthur D. Noll, ’17’ was a visitor at the Normal on the opening
day o f school. He waS/in the best o f spirits and health. He bade
us all good-bye as he left us to enlist in the Marine Reserves, and
jokingly promised us that he would send us suitable keepsakes as
soon as his foot touched German soil, i ;
;
Just a little more than two weeks1later the news came that he
had died o f pneumonia, superinduced by a severe attack o f Spanish
influenza. It was hard to believe that he had gone, so bright,
cheery and hopeful had his leave taking been .just a little before.
Everybody liked Arthur and the best wishes o f all who knew him
went with him. Now he is gone, but the%eCond gold-star on our
service flag commemorates1the sacrifice that he made for his country.
He died as truly a soldier as though he had fallen on the battle
field facing the foe. It was1there he wished to be and if it had been
given him to make choice o f his manner o f death h© would have died
fighting bravely for the principals that he held dear. We shall ever
treasure his memory.) Normal is proud o f her sons who are on the
battle field or who are waiting the call to go. To the class o f 1917
'is given the sad but glorious privilege o f furnishing the first two
martyrs to the cause o f liberty and justice. While their spirit lives
the nation need not fear. Its safety is assured since they counted
it but right that they should give their' utmost and they sorrowed
that, .they hud not more to give.

CHARLES D. KELL, ’ 16
Died October 4, 1918.
When fhe news reached Normal that Charles D. Kell was su f­
fering from a severe attack o f pneumonia in the hospital at Camp
LeC, Va., we hoped that he might survive the attack. He was a
splendid specimen o f physical manhood and scarcely knew what
sickness meant. He made a gallant but vain battle and died on
October 4.

Charles p ell was beloved by every one who knew him. His
record at the Normal school was one o f the finest and best ever

made here. He came to Normal in the fall o f 1914 after having
finished a four year course in the Carlisle High School. H e f c n
became a leader in all departments o f school work. He was active

was always exerted for the good and
the true. He exercised a great influence over the young men o f
the school and was' leader o f a number o f movements that led to
higher and better living among the boys, o f the school. He was
cheerful by nature and ever ready to assist; any one who needed
help or encouragement.
He exemplified in his- life at Camp Lee the highest ¡¡¡deals
o f Christian manhood. When the dread scourge struck the camp
and hundreds were stricken with influenza, he volunteered his
services as a nurse and in addition assisted in the kitchen in pre­
paring food for the sick. He gave no thought to himself in those
rying days and worked on at his voluntarily imposed tasks until
he himself gave way under the strain. The memory o f Charles Kell
will always be treasured at Normal as that o f one whose life ex­
emplified the highest standards o f the old school.
FRANK COFFEY,, ’l l
Died October 17, 1918.
We take the following sketch from the Shippensburg News:
Only a, few weeks after the death o f his father, Chas. B Coffey
Frank L. Coffey, departed this life at his home in Carlisle, last
Thursday, October 17th, about six o’clock. It had been known that
Mr. Coffey, who had contracted influenza which developed into
pneumonia, was in a critical condition, but hopes were entertained
fcmat'- his- hfe might be spared, but alas in vain. The. subject o f
this sketch was born in Shippensburg, Janhary 10th, 1892, and thus
was 26 years o f age. He was a young man o f sterling qualities,
we 1 and favorably known in his home town, as well as in Carlisle
where he was principal o f the Penn building, public ¡school. He was
a graduate o f the Shippensburg High School and the1C. V. S N S
and a; consistent member o f the Grace Reformed Church o f Ship­
pensburg and a member o f the Carlisle I. O. 0. F. In August 1915
he was married to Miss Blanche Railing o f Shippensburg“ who with
a son, survives him, besides his. mother and two brothers, John E.
Lottey o f town and Charles, L. somewhere in France. The body
was brought to Shippensburg last Friday morning and the funeral
took place from the home o f his mother, 314 East King street, Mon­
day afternoon at 2 o’clock, Rev. D. W. Allison officiating. Inter­
ment was made m Spring Hill Cemetery." The bereaved families
have the sympathy o f the entire community.

active part in every department o f religious work.
Her death has caused a deep gloom over the community.
HARLEY B. SURFACE, ’18.
Died October 29, 1918.
We were very much shocked to learn o f the death o f Harley B.
Surface son o f the former state zoologist H. A. Surface at
Meehanicsburg. Mr. Surface had an attack of influenza which de­
veloped into pneumonia and later into empyema. An operation was
found necessary but in his weakened condition he could not with­
stand it and died on the 29. Mr. Surface was assistant principal
o f the schools of Wormleysburg and was doing fine work in that pos­
ition. He was?'a.young man of great promise through whose early
death the Community sustains a great loss.

THE FIELDS OF THE MARNE
By Sergeant Frank Carbaugh.
Written while lying wounded in hospital; died August, 1918.
The fields o f the Marne are growing green,
The river murmurs on and on,
No more the hail o f mitraillense—
The cannon from the hills are gone.
The herder leads the sheep afield
Where grasses grow o’er broken blade;'
And toil-worn women till the soil
O’er human mold in sunny glade.
The splintered shell and bayonet
Are lost in crumbling village wall;
No sniper scans the rim o f hills,
No sentry hears the night bird call.
From blood-wet soil and sunken trench
The flowers Moom in summer light;
And farther down the vale beyond,
The peasant’s smiles are sad yet bright.
The wounded Marne is growing green,
The gash o f Hun no longer smarts;
Democracy is bom again,
But what about the wounded hearts?
5353S5&

WHEN SERGEANT CARBAUGH “ WENT W EST”
At an American Hospital in France : “ No, they’re not going to
bring the sergeant back to the ward, boys.”
Those were the words the nurse used.
The little group in the ward, which had been playing cards,
stopped suddenly;
“ You don’t mean the sergeant’s gone?” exclaimed one.
“ Yes, boys, the sergeant’s gone. Four operations were just too
much for his1strength.”
The little group o f patients and. the nurse were, silent.
The chap with one leg gone had half a deck o f cards in his
hand. Dazed, he relaxed, and the cards fell to the floor; The
chap with one leg gone never noticed them.
“ Gee, the sergeant’s gone,’’’ he said, huskily; “ he sure was a
game boy.”

8

“ He was the best fellow I ever knew,” said another, “ and the
most cheerful, too.”
“ Just to think,” mused a third, “ it wasn’t half an hour ago
when we saw him go out. I shouted, ‘Good luck, sarge,’ and he
smiled and said, ‘Thanks, I’ll be back in a few minutes.’ ”
The sergeant was Frank Carbaugh, o f Greeneastle, Pa., a mem­
ber o f the 7th Machine Gun Sanitary Detachment.
The sergeant, who was a mathematical teacher before the war,
was wounded near Chateau-Thierry.
None o f his bunkies knew just how, because, as one o f them
explained, ‘The sergeant wasn’t the kind o f a fellow who’d talk o f
himself.” '
They did know that the sergeant lay out in the open a long time
after he was wounded. His leg was badly smashed, and they oper­
ated at the first hospital he reached. But gangrene had set in, and
four operations had followed in an effort to save him.
They have had lots o f brave patients in that hospital, but never
one like the sergeant, who said little, was always joking and cheer­
ful, and never had a complaint.
The little group sitting on the cots, with the nurse, had been
talking o f the sergeant for a long time when one o f the boys s'aid,
“ You ought to write to his mother, Miss Cutter. The sarge thought
the world o f his mother.”

THE SPANISH INFLUENZA AT NORMAL
They scourge o f influenza that swept through Eastern Penn­
sylvania with its train o f fatalities, did not strike Normal fo r sev­
eral weeks. Just however, as we were congratulating ourselves
that we were likely to be spared a visitation from it we had our first
oases. On Sunday, October 6, we had three cases; the next day
the number increased to seven. Fortunotely we were able to secure
the services o f Miss Kyle the community nurse in Shippensburg
whose assistance was invaluable. The members o f the faculty
rallied to the occasion and tendered their services as nurses. Miss
Lehman, a trained nurse from Chambersburg, was also secured at
this time. A few days'later- she was able to give her entire time
to the sick at Normal. Thif^was very fortunate, for on Thursday
the influenza swept through the school and forty teachers and
students were down with it. Not only was the infirmary full but
the fourth floor in the main building had been turned into a hospital
and the bed||there were speedily filled. Dr. Bashore, o f the health
department, visited the school and expressed his satisfaction at
the manner in which the school was dealing with the situation. We
hoped to be able to continue in session but by Thursday evening

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

we realized that including day students nearly one hundred were
afflicted with influenza.
There was but one thing to do and that was1to close the school
temporarily and devote all the energies o f the school to caring for
the sick. This was done and the majority o f those who were able
returned to their homes temporarily. All the members o f the fa c ­
ulty divided themselves into nursing squads and helped out with
the nursing.
Fortunately all the cases proved to be comparatively mild
ones and at this writing (October 21), all have recovered or are
so much-improved as to be past the danger point. When we reflect
how fatal the epidemic has proved in many cases we cannot but
give thanks to the Great Physician that we have been spared the
worst forms o f the disease.
Not only were the students afflicted with it but the following
members o f the faculty suffered from it: Miss Stroh had a severe
and somewhat prolonged attack; Mrs. Herr and Miss Harlow also
were attacked but made a speedy recovery. The men, in proportion
to their number, did not escape so easily as the women o f the fa c ­
ulty, as Dr. Lehman, Profs. Heiges, Krebs and Culver suffered
from it. Fortunately the attacks were mild and all are seemingly
fully recovered from its effects.

MEETING OF THE SHIPPENSBURG NORMAL SCHOOL ALUMNI
AT HARRISBURG DURING THE SESSIONS OF THE
STATE EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
Supt. Weber, o f Scranton, who is President o f the State Ed­
ucational Association, is anxious to have meetings o f the various
associations o f Normal School Alumni-held at Harrisburg during
the sessions o f the State Educational Association.
We hoped to be able to announce definitely the plans fo r a
meeting o f our own Alumni at this time. Unfortunately, the epid­
emic o f influenza that has spread itself over the entire state, has
made it impossible for us to make'definite plans. The plan that
seems most feasible is to have a Get- Together-Lunch o f a most
informal character fo r Tuesday or Wednesday noon or evening,
January 1 or 2. Because o f the desire o f all the school authorities
to assist in conserving food, the luncheon, if it is held, will be very
informal and will take the place o f an ordinary meal. The matter
has been referred to the president o f the Dauphin County Alumni
Association, but at this writing no definite plans have been made.
All o f our Alumni and former students who are planning to come
to Harrisburg to attend the meetings o f the State Educational As-

10

sociation, should keep Tuesday and Wednesday open so as to be
able to attend the informal luncheon if it is deemed wise to hold it
at that time.

REUNION OF THE CLASS OF ’89
Though it seems a long time ahead, it is none too early fo r the
members o f the class o f ’ 89 to begin planning fo r their thirty year
reunion.
We confidently hope that the war will be ended in a victorious
peace before next June and that we will be able to turn our thoughts
from the serious side o f life for a little while when next Commence­
ment comes.
As Dr. Lehman was president o f his class he is naturally
anxious that the reunion o f the class shall be a most pleasant one
and that all members o f the class will arrange to be present. The
class is widely scattered but a determined effort will be made to
have every one return to Normal for the reunion on Alumni Day.
All members o f the class are urged to begin to make their arrange­
ments now so that a fine program can be rendered and the high
water mark o f attendance fo r thirty year classes established.

EAGLES MERE
Everyone knows about Eagles Mere. Well they should if they do
not. After attending a Y. W. C. A. Conference, I am sure no one
would ever forget it; at least that is what some o f the C. V. S. N. S.
girls think about it.
After traveling all day and changing trains continually, we
finally found ourselves in a ear, a mere apology fo r one, and slowly
but surely were taken to the summit o f the mountain.
Here lies the hamlet o f Eagles Mere, a very picturesque spot.
Even though it was raining when we reached it, no one complained,
fo r the grandeur o f the place attracted our attention.
.We were assigned to our cottage, and then a goodi warm meal
was placed before us. My! but it did taste good after that long
journey.
The best things' o f the Conference were held over until the next
day when each member o f the delegation was assigned to the various
classes,- and the members o f the committees selected. The topics
studied in these classes aroused the keenest interest for they were
such topics that would not allow themselves to be put away in a
small com er o f our craniums but were discussed at all times.
Now do. not think that study was the only thing we did. Quite
to the contrary, for the entire afternoon was devoted to athletics of

I am pleased to know that despite the unusual burdens imposed
upon our people by the war they have maintained their schools and

That this Should be continued throughout the war and that, in so
far as the draft law will permit, there should be no falling o ff in
attendance m elementary schools, high schools or colleges is a matter
of the very greatest importance, affecting both our strength in war
welfare and efficiency when the war is over So
long as the war continues there will be constant need o f very large
niunbers o f men and women o f the highest and most thoroughfeainmg for war service m many lines, After the war there wffl be ur­

and civic life, but for a very high average o f
intelligence and preparation on the part o f all the people I WOTTT n

ATHLETICS
Shall athletic training be abolished during the war? This is
the question that has confronted all o f our educational institutions
and the solution to the problem seems to be left to the individual
institution; therefore we are having many answers in return. Some
favor total abolition o f athletics for the period o f the war; others
would coniine their sports to a ’f ew ; others favor a home schedule;
still others’ have felt the need o f greater activity along these lines.
The latter view seems to be the one advocated by the War Depart­
ment and in the 'light o f present day events this seems to be the
decision. If, as we learn, the army considers a well trained athlete
to be superior to a non-trained man, other things being equal, and
athletics are made a part o f the life o f a soldier, why should not the
idea be carried out in our schools and colleges ? Men who are
qualified to speak o f the abilities o f soldiers say that the man who
has given his body a c'hanee to develop, who has not only used but
trained his muscles for action and has acquired those qualities o f
courage, daring, agility and ability to think and act quickly is far
superior to the man who has never had such! training. What is the
result o f the examinations conducted by the War Department regard­
ing the physical condition o f the youths o f our country? There are
sad, but nevertheless true and striking statements regarding this
and it is indeed a deplorable thing. Something must be instituted
to build up the race and make it more physically fit for the duties
that are to be thrust upon it. What then are we as an institution
going to do to help in this great work? ’
The problem that we must meet and the one which confronts us
more today than ever before is the lack o f men and boys for our
athletic teams, but i f the purpose o f athletics that I have briefly
outlined to be Carried out, we must not confine our attention to
the few already well developed boys, but seek to stimulate a more
general sentiment toward athletics and emphasize training fo r devel­
opment instead o f training a few as representatives. The possi­
bility o f a foot ball team this year was not considered feasible
owing to the severe drain upon our numbers and because o f the
character o f our present student body. In place o f this we are to
substitute track and field sports.
The benefit o f a change can readily be seen since many more
boys are able to participate. There seem to be a good number of
boys who can do something along this line if given proper instruc­
tion and coaching. While the material available is! for the most
part inexperienced, we are hopeful o f developing it to its greatest
capacity. This branch o f sports being in its infancy, it will neces­
sitate some time to get it running smothUy but in time we hope to
have well developed class teams as well as a team to represent the
school. It is possible in track and field sports to have small boys
compete with larger ones by means o f the “ handicap” system. In

THE

this way all boys will have an equal chance and there will be a
greater incentive for all to participate.
It is the plan o f our director o f athletics\'to carry on track
work fo r a time this fall and later to develop hew material for a
basket ball team. As this has been one o f the strongest branches
o f athletics in the school, we are extremely anxious to uphold the
high standard which has been set by preceding years.
It is too early to venture any statement about what may be
done in the spring but we-hope to have a base ball team to represent
the school and we shall endeavor to keep alive the good spirit that
prevails in C. V. S. N. S.
We solicit the most hearty support and eo-operation o f the
student body in order that the best possible results may eome to us
individually and collectively.

WASHINGTON AND FREDERICKSBURG IN WAR TIME
Washington, D. C., is beautiful and interesting at all times and
at all seasons, but Washington in war times! is wonderful, well worth
a visit even fo r a day. The city is taxed to its utmost capacity.
Building operations are going on in different parts o f the city in
every available place. These are temporary buidings put up fo r the
war workers. Many workers have to leave the city after they have
secured their positions on account o f the high eost o f room and
board. All that is necessary for a tourist to do in order to see and
realize the great crowds in Washington is to spend an hour at the
Union Depot. Watch the multitudes o f soldiers, sailors, and civilians
surge back and forth, standing in long lines at the ticket windows,
information bureaus, etc. and as never before the fact is brought
home to you that this country is in war. Walk to the Capitol
buildings and you pass marching companies o f sailors and soldiers.
Every street seems filled with them. Look overhead and slowly and
majestically the flying machines are keeping watch, reminding us o f
our own American eagle with outstretched wings, filling our breasts
with a feeling o f strength and security. The capitol inside as well
as o u tsid ers a busy place. Anxious as the visitor is to see and
hear what is being done in the halls o f Congress, the old entrance is
the one that is desired, fo r it has an interest to every lover o f his­
tory. First is the com er stone o f the old copitol and just inside the
door stand the eight great “ cornstalk pillars,” the pride and jo y o f
Thomas Jefferson, and about all that is left o f the old capitol before
the war o f 1812. On the way to the House the visitor always lingers
m the Hall o f Fame. How we look with admiring eyes on the two
great men from every State in the Union! Pennsylvania is there
iwth Muhlenburg
and Robert Fulton.
But Illinois

them all for she has given «as one o f her representatives the only

statue o f Prances Willard, the hope is expressed that she knows
the triumphs o f her great cause that have so recently been enacted
within the hall above her quiet statue. To the teacher o f civics two
places in the capitol are very attractive: the Supreme Court Room
and the Senate and House o f Representatives. Happy is he who
can see the nine dignified and learned judges file out o f their room
at noon. Mos;^ o f the work o f Congress is done in committees and
many members are out for other reasons, and it is only when a
committee reports and a vote is taken that the chairs are filled.
But there is always something happening these war times and hard
as it has Been on the President and Congress, t'he country feels safer
when they are sitting at Washington.
The two army camps near Washington are Camp Humphreys
at Aaeotink and Camp Quantico at Quantico. This latter is one
o f th^ four great camps for Marines' in the United States. It is about
thirty nine miles from Washington and twenty miles from Fredericks^
burg, Virginia, on the Southern Railroad. This camp was started
M ay 1, 1917. It is complete in every way, has 10,000 Marines sta­
tioned there all the time, and as the visitor talks with these splendid
Looking men, they show that their camp life is very pleasant. Who
/are the marines'? They are Amercian men trained fo r duty as sol) diers and sailors, they are policemen ; they take the lead in an ad­
vance. Their insignia, worn on the hat or collar, is bronze in color.
In shape it is the round world with the American eagle at the top
and the anchor beneath. The great Mecca fo r the officers o f this
camp and for many o f the boys over the week end is Fredericksburg,
Virginia. Many o f the officers have their families in this city and
spend every night with them, going back and forth in aspeeial train
night and morning. The good people o f the historical old city keep
open house and many a homesick boy is mothered by a true Virginia
lady« 5SJ5S385

THE NORMAL SCHOOL ORCHESTRA
The School Orchestra, under the direction o f Miss Adams, is
doing splendid work. Although the number o f members is less than
in former years, we feel that much work will be accomplished. The
orchestra elected the following officers for the coning yea r: Presi­
dent, Mr. Paul Kurtz, Shippensburg; Vice President, Mr. Ralph
Angle, Shippensburg; Secretary, Miss Ruth E. Bair, Hanover; Treas­
urer, Mi*. Herman Rough, Newport; Librarian, Mr. Rex Clugston,
East Waterford.
At the beginning o f the year each member deposits twenty-five
cents (25c.), a certain amount o f which is deducted every time that
member is absent without good cause. At the end o f the year the
money that is remaining will be used for a picnic.
The orchestra plays for chapel exercises every morning. They
made their first public appearance on Arbor Day.

THE NORMAL SOCIETY GLEE CLUB
In the beginning o f the fall term the Normal Society Glee Club,

the opportunity and are doing their best to make the Glee Club shine.
The Glee Club furnishes music each evening at the weekly society
meetings. It also furnishes music for the Normal Society reunion.
We are very anxious to have any student who is interested in music
join us.

NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY
A new year dawns in the history o f Normal society, and we are
h>oking forward to its being a most successful one. It was most
discouraging when we found at our first meeting that many o f our
leading members among the boys had left fo r the army. But some
o f the vacant places have been filled by the girls who' feel that their
work must be carried on. The aim fo r our society fo r the coming
year is to have programs' which are entertaining and also valuable
along literary lines. The society also aims to place each member
upon the program at least once so that all may have an opportunity
to appear before an audience and thus gain practice in public speak­
ing. Our programs have been o f special interest this year. A pat­
riotic feature given at one o f the meetings might be mentioned as
especially interesting. Different popular and patriotic songs were,
represented in the following manner:
“ Keep the Home Fires Burning,” - Mother writing a letter
daughter knitting.
“ I Don’t Want to Get Well” - Wounded soldier attended by a
nurse.
“ Over There” - Two soldiers lying on the ground in act o f shoot­
ing; Doctor and nurse bending over wounded soldier.
“ We’re Going Over” - Sailor, soldier, Red Cross nurse, doctor.

PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY
The meetings o f the Philomathean Literary Society which have
been held this fall have been full o f that something we call “ pep.”
“ Pep” makes every Philo measure up to his highest efficiency in
every possible way. This is shown by the fact that Philo has had
50 new members added to its number during two weeks. The
programs this year are being selected with special care so as to
have them well balanced and to have entirely new ideas carried out.
One o f the new ideas, which we consider highly important and
beneficial is that o f haying a series o f four-minute speeches, talks
on war or present day problems.
Another feature which was enjoyed by. both old and new mem­
bers was the play, “ Packing the Missionary’ s Barrel.”' ' This is a
short comedy o f one act, and requires ten girls.
It has been decided that a patriotic number be given each week.
One o f the best was a tableau in which five girls dressed as Red
Cross nurses, and seated in a group on the floor sang several popular
war songs to an accompaniment by one o f the girls on the ukelele.
The Philomatheans feel it is their duty to learn and sing these songs.
This society has been realizing the value o f folk dances and

PHILO GLEE CLUB
The Philo Glee Club was organized on September 24th, electing
Mr. Richard Horton, president; Mr. Denton Ashway, vice president;
Mr. Paul Kurtz, treasurer; Miss Edith Bistline, librarian and Miss
Nellie Reisinger, secretary. Although we have lost some o f our best
members in the class o f ’18, we have gained many new members,
who are just as well fitted for the work. The Glee Club is composed
o f twenty girls and nine boys. Every member enters into the work
with much enthusiasm and hopes to make the work o f the Glee Club
more successful than it has ever been.

THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The Girls’ Athletic Association is a new organization created in
order to promote a high physical efficiency among the girls o f C. Y.
S. N. S., by. fostering an interest in gymnastics and athletics. The
present membership consists o f a number o f senior girls who have
secured the necessary number o f points. A large number o f girls
are working to become members so that the membership is increasing
very fast. .
We made our first public appearance at a party for the new
girls given in the gymnasium. This party consisted o f some lively
little games, dances, and stunts in which the new girls became ac­
quainted. A short talk was given by Elva Baker, president o f the
association, in which she explained the purpose and the means by
which every girl can become a member o f the association. This was
followed by a speech on our fall sport, hockey, by the head of
hockey, Emeline Owens. She. invited all new girls to come out
and try hockey and see if they don’t like it as well as she does.
We have adopted the point system by which each member works
for points, which are awarded for team work at any season, hikes
and anything which pertains to athletics. A hundred twenty-five
points are necessary in order to become a member o f the association.
For points gained after becoming a member, class numerals and the
school letters are awarded.
Hike leaders have been chosen from the senior class, and under­
classmen are permitted to go on a hike any week-day from four

until five in the afternoons and any time on Saturday by selecting a
leader to accompany them.
We have begun hockey and have had a good response from the
new girls and from the old ones as well, who are ever ready to put
spirit into the work. We are able to foretell success fo r this year,
as the new'players are showing as much pluck as was displayed in
the past seasons1by the older ones and they are continuing in the
same spirit and with just as much “ pep” as ever.

PRESS CLUB NOTES
The Press Club is planning this year to enlarge its work. It
aims to bring the life o f the school before the Alumni and patrons o f
all the counties o f our Normal School districts. In this way, we
feel that we can help our school and can keep in a closer touch with
our graduates and friends. We are planning to add new papers to
our lists this year, and thus enlarge the scope o f our work.
Our meetings will be both interesting and instructive. Some
practical and successful newspaper men will address us on matters
pertaining to newspaper work, and we shall have special features o f
a musical and literary nature to enliven our programs.
While we have lost some o f our oflicers1and several o f our mem­
bers by the call to service, nevertheless, we are starting our year o f
w«ork with a membership o f over fifty, and under the enthusiastic
leadership o f our new president, Mr. Hade and the royal support
o f all our members, we look forward to a most helpfhl year.
Our regular meetings are held the second Thursday o f each
month in the school parlors, from 6 to 7 o’clock, and we would be
very glad to welcome any former members o f the Club or graduates

Y. W. C. A.
Well, here we are back at old Normal again, and the Y. W. C. A.
girls are filled with vim, ready to carry on the work fo r which they
are needed. It has1been through the enthusiasm o f the old girls that
so many new members have been taken into the association, and
these too have already entered into the spirit o f the work. Our
association consists o f about one hundred members, forty o f whom
joined at the candle light service on Sunday evening, September 29.
We have undertaken to keep the chapel attractive and two large
ferns have been purchased by the association, and placed on the

the administration building. After passing through the receiving
line everybody went into the chapel where they took part in games
until the entertainment o f the evening began. The first part o f the
entertainment consisted o f a gump dance. Two girls were dressed
in costumes as follows: A skirt around the waist was held over the
head to represent an enlarged head, and a sweater buttoned around
the hips had its arms held out by an umbrella or cane. 'This dance
was especially laughable as the participants made such funny
looking creatures. "While the stage was being arranged, Prof.
Heiges entertained the audience with guessing contests, Another
enjoyable feature o f the evening was a take-off on a movie melo­
drama with a reading by Elva Baker. The last number on the pro­
gramme was o f a patriotic nature. As the different airs o f the
allied nations were played on the piano a person dressed to represent
each nation appeared on the platform. As “ We’re Going Over’ was
being played a U. S. soldier and sailor appeared and at last the
nations moved to the back o f the platform to make room fo r a flag
drill by eight o f the girls. At the end they knelt with their flags all
pointing toward Columbia. As the chord o f “ The Star-Spangled
Banner” was struck, the audience rose and all joined in singing the
national anthem.
Then came the best things— the refreshments. Owing to war
conditions, they were meagre, the same as the boys representing the
Y. M. C. A., but it was not the fault o f the school, or the fault of
anyone except the Kaiser. Nevertheless, we have given our boys
with the spirit o f ’76 and know that they are all doing their bit.
Patriotism was the keynote o f the evening, fo r after the re­
freshments were served, all the guests joined in singing the patriotic
songs o f the day, and upon the1ringing o f the retiring bell the girls all
filed to the dormitory» singing, “ Good-night Ladies.”

THE HEW TEACHER of PHYSICAL SCIENCE.
Prof. Theron L. Culver, o f Royalton, Vt., is the new teacher
o f physical science. Mr. Culver is a gradnate o f Middlebury Col­
lege, Vt., and made an excellent record for himself at that institu­
tion. Since completing his work at that college he has had pract­
ical experience as a teacher in high school and academy and has
been very successful in all his work.
In addition to teaching physics and general chemistry Prof.
Culver will have charge o f the boys’ athletics. Because o f the
number o f boys who have been called into army service it was
deemed inadvisable to organize a football team this year, but
basket ball and baseball will be pushed as heretofore. Prof. Culver
■has also introduced track and field sports. Already the boys are

practicing putting the shot, broad and high jump, cross country
running, etc., in anticipation o f a field day later in the fall
Rrof. Culver has- made a good impression upon ids students
;and the members o f the faculty. We predict, that he will be very
successful as1 a teacher.

GIFTS BY CLASSES AND MEMBERS OF ALUMNI TO NORMAL
It has been suggested that it would be a matter o f interest to
.the Alumni and former students o f the school to have a record made
o f the gifts and donations that have been made from time to time
to the school. We think ¡the idea is an excellent one and herewith
put it into practice by giving the record as far as we have it. We are
aware, however, that this record is imperfect and that we have in­
advertently omitted a record o f many gifts and donations that have
been made. We shall be glad to have the proper corrections and
additions made and we shall !be very much indebted to the members
•of the Alumni who will see to it that proper mention is made o f any
omissions. We desire to have this record made a part o f the school
Catalogue in the future and for that reason we are especially anx­
ious that it be thorough and complete.

We should also be glad to have any corrections made in these
