PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Alumnus:
As I write the days are lengthening and faculty and students are
beginning to talk about Class Day and Commencement.
Before this; number of the Herald reaches you the Inter-Society
Debate, the Junior Reception, and the Reunion o f the Philo Literary
Society will belong to past records. Just ahead of us will be our
first Mother’s Day on Saturday, April 20. Our Dad’s Day was so
successful that we are looking forward to the day when the mothers
of the students will be with us. We will debate with teams from East
Stroudsburg and Slippery Rock Teachers Colleges on April 19 and 26,
respectively. The Normal Literary Society will hold its anniversary
on May 3, the Tri-County Athletic Meet has been set for May 11, and
then Commencement.
Don’t fail to note the changes in the dates: Alumni Procession
and Reunion, Saturday, May 25, at 1:30. The Alumni Dance and
Reception will be held from 8:00-12:00 P. M. on the same day. Bac­
calaureate services follow on Sunday, May 26, at 8 o clock P. M.
Monday opens with Class Day Exercises at 9:45 A. M. The Princi­
pal’s Reception to Faculty^, Trustees, Alumni, Seniors and their par­
ents is scheduled for 2 P. M. and the Alumni Play is set for 8 P. M.
Commencement Exercises will be held on Tuesday morning, May 28,

THE

TEACHERS

COLLEGE

HERALD

at 9:30.
Our second: semester opened with scarcely ia ripple to indicate that
a new term had begun: Ityis tru&that we missed about thirty former
Students' and welcomed an equal number of new entrants, but the
change in personnel of the student body is; very Slight. We regret
that, because of ill health, Miss Lane found it necessary to resign her
position as teacher of Psychology. We were fortunate in being able
to secure as her successor Miss Leutslcer who taught here during Miss
Lane’s absence last year. As noted elsewhere* Miss Horton severed
hpr position with us on February 1 after more than thirty-five years
o f Service as teacher, preceptress, Secretary to principal, and registrar.
All of these positions she filled with signal ability.. The' best wishes
o f every friend of the college will go with her.
The formal transfer of The land purchased from the Pennsylvania
Railroad as a site for the Library and other buildings has at last been
effected and vrj hope to announce ere long that work has been begun
on the erection of the much needed Library. The extension to the
Women’s Dormitory will be completed before the opening of the sum­
mer session and we expect to be able t<J accommodate twenty more
students with rooms. The kitchen is now thoroughly equipped with
up-to-date fixtures.
We are looking forward to another record breaking enrollment in
the fall as we shall be able to accommodate additional students. We
want you to continue to send us names of promising young men and
women from your neighborhoods. Of course we are anxious to have
you tell them about the opportunities open to them here. We have a
splendid clasf|;of first year people, more than three hundred in num­
ber, and we want to duplicate it and,, if possible, surpass it with a
still larger and better class next September. Won’t you help us
realize our aim ?
Finally, doii’t forget your class reunions. We know that a num­
ber of the classes have already made arrangements for class banquets
and luncheons at hotels or restaurants. If any members of the
classes of ’79, ’89, 99, ’04, ’09, ’19, or ’27 have not heard from your
presidents or secretaries, don’t fail to write to them and ask them
about your class reunion. We want this Alumni Day to be the best
we have had with the largest attendance of Alumni. Don’t forget
the date, Saturday, May 26.
Fraternally ■your s,
Ezra Lehman, ’89

IT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO
(This is the seventh of a series of eight articles under the above
title, dealing with the, student body, the faculty, school customs, the
course of study, the literary Societies, the Model School, etc. In
the January number Reuben Reed’, one of the most interesting of the
old timers, was portrayed.)
Forty years ago forty-two seniors, much the largest graduating
class up to that time, were beginning to talk about “ Faculty Exams,”
“ State Board Exams” , and “ Commencement.” The Student of the
decadent days; of 1929 cannot understand what an examination meant
to students forty years ago. Now the student has his adviser to re­
port to him just how he stands in his studies from time tp time, to ad­
vise him that he is reported as “ doubtful” or “ failing” in psychology,
etc; that it is necessary for him to give more time to his work, to hand
in reports more promptly, etc. Then, though the student body was
comparatively small,, the student had none of these warnings of im­
pending disaster. He took the examination and passed or failed.
The examination days were strenuous ones and woe betide the student
who was not feeling in the “ best of condition” on examination day.
It must not ,be supposed that this excuse was not frequently offered
as an “.alibi” for failure to make a good grade, but the faculty had be­
come so accustomed to hearing it that it made little impression upon
them.
When at last the examinations were ended, the faculty went into
conference and the nerve racked students retired to their rooms, or
strolled about on the campus, seeking consolation; for the “ social re­
gulations” were relaxed during these, trying days. They waited the
ringing of the bells for Dr. Barton had' announced in the dining room
“ The students will assemble in the large Chapel to hear the result,
of the examinations at the ringing of the Chapel ¡bell.” Day students
strolled out from town and hung about the Chapel doors until, finally,
like a peal of doom, the bells rang.
Sometimes individual members of the faculty, desirous; of sparing
the students who had failed, the torture of being present when their
failure was indicated, had advised them to absent themselves from
the Chapel, but too often they were present to hear the result.
The Principal, after the students had assembled, usually thought
it necessary to say a few words, in advancp to thbse who had not
passed, advising them to continue their work,; not to be discouraged,
etc. This advice, while well meant, probably; failed of its purpose, for
the one big question in the mind of every student present was: “ Did
I pass?” and all delay was torture until that was settled.

4

THE

TEACHERS

COLLEGE

HERALD

Finally, came the announcement: “ The following members of the
Senior Class have been recommended to the State Board for gradua­
tion.” As the roll proceeded, on outcry from a young woman was a
notice to all that her name had been passed. She had failed. The list
of juniors came next. Then, though there were condolences and sym­
pathy for thos'e who had failed to be recommended; there was rejoic­
ing on the part of those who had passed. But, it was of short dura­
tion for another examination stood between the student and grad­
uation, the State Board. This dreaded Juggernaut that would demand
its toll, was made up of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, or
one of his deputies, the Principal of another Normal School, the Prin­
cipal of the local Normal School and from two to four county, city
or borough superintendents^.
We realize today that these men were really fair minded indivi­
duals who were sympathetic toward thg students and sought only the
maintenance of a high standard for teachers. But the student body
of.those days would have rejected such an estimate. The students
“ knew” that one of the deputies was prejudiced against the school,
while they were just as certain that another deputy was a friend of
the institution anxious to have every student pass. They also “ knew”
that certain Normal School Principals were “ jealous” o‘f this school
and would vote against; students for the slightest reason. They
scanned the list of superintendents with great care for they “ knew”
that a certain superintendent “ had it in” for the Shippensburg
Normal. So you wiil understand thatiythe composition of “ State
Board” was,a matter of vital interest to the student body. It,must
he remembered that, if the Board was composed of but five mem­
bers, two adverse votes prevented a student from being graduated or
promoted.
They writer remembers very vividly that one of the State Boards
that he encountered was supposed to be particularly hostile. The
impression was very wide spread that three of the five members “ had
it in” for Shippensburg. The fact that a number of students failed
before this Board confirmed in the minds of the students for many
years to come the belief that the three' members designated were re­
sponsible for the result.
Again the students were called together, the list read and those
who had survived the ordeal might prepare for graduation.
The Class Day performers had been previously elected by the. class
usually after a bitter scrap between the “ Normals” and the “ Philos” .
It frequently happened that the society that had the larger member­
ship in the class selected its own adherents for most of the offices.
This cpndition finally led the faculty and trustees.to decree that the

THE

TEACHERS

COLLEGE

HERALD

S

class officers must be divided according to the proportionate member­
ship of the .societies, a regulation that remained in force for thirtyfive years and was only recently abandoned.
Class Day Exercises were held at night and consisted of a pro­
phecy, a history, an oration, a class poem and the presentation of
gifts, supposedly adapted to the needs of the different members.
The name of every member of the class appeared upon the Com­
mencement Program with an assigned subject. As long as the elas||-i
did not number more; than twenty members, everyone actually took
some part in the program which usually lasted from three to four
hours. But increasing numbers had taxed' the patience and physical
endurance even of an audience in the eighties, and the expedient of
“ excusing” certain of the graduates from actually taking &’ physical
part had been resorted to. This was indicated by placing an aster­
isk before the names of certain members of the class with the explan­
ation “ excused” at the bottom of the page. But in all conscience the
programs" were still long enough as from ten to a dozen took part.
We were expert in those days in solving the world-old problems, as
a glance at the subjects chosen indicates. A bit of unconscious humor
sometimes, found a place on the program. The subject of the writ­
er’s Commencement oration was “ About,, my brain! that appeal^to
action by the melancholy Hamlet, but the reporter gave the subject
as “ About my brain,” and said in his account of the Commencement,
“ The speaker gave an interesting account of the organization and
function of the human brain.” The last number on the program was
the address to the graduates usually by a minister or school superin­
tendent. There was never any doubt abougthe orthodoxy of the
speakers on these occasions. They believed that virtue invariably
brought its own reward and vice, its own punishment and they delight­
ed in saying undisputed things in very solemn ways. And yet after
the lapse of forty* years the writer remembers some of the sentiments
. set forth in that Commencement address forty years ago. And that
vis high tribute to pay any address!
^
(In the July number of the Herald the writer will.deal with the
problem of “ getting a job” after graduation forty years ago.)

MISS HORTON LEAVES THE COLLEGE
Miss Ada V. Horton severed her official connection with the
Shippensburg State Teachers College on February 1, after almost
thirty-five years of active service. She was graduated from the
•elementary course in 1888 and taught six years in the schools of

e

T

h è

t e a c h e r s

c o l l e g e

h e r a l d

Cumberland .and Lancaster Counties. She then returned to the school
.-as Secretary to the Principal, Dr.~G. M. D. EckeISv and ife&cher of
Physiology and Geography, In 1906 she ceased to teach and became
preceptress, a position she; .held for ten years.
She resigned
this place in 1916 and since that date she has served as registrar.
Important and valuable as Miss Horton’s w-ork was in all these
positions'; it is probable that her position as Alumni Editor of the
Herald for thirty years' gave her the greatest opportunity for con­
structive. work. She came to knoll more than four thousand of the
graduates o f the institution personally and to have a wide acquain­
tance with their families and. relatives. For years the readers of
the Herald have turned to the Personal, Cupid’s, Stork and Obituary
columns for the items that she had gleaned from personal contact,
letter and newspaper.
Few institutions have kept in as close personal contact with their
Alumni and former students as has the Shippensburg State Teachers
College and the credit for this is; in a large measure due to Miss
Horton. • She attended the county institutes, the County and City
Alumni meetings, and secured not only renewals of subscriptions to
the Herald, but a fund of personal information that bound the Alum­
ni closer to the school.
She made the collection of data about our graduates one of the
main items of business at every Alumni Day and Home Coming. In
short, she came to know more about the institution than any other
person and no one can Till the place in the life of the school that she
has vacated.
It is a source of great gratification to the writer to be able to
report that Miss Horton expects to reside in Shippensburg and that
she will continue to interest herself in the work of the Herald. While
she has given up her place as Alumni Editor, she will be placed on
its roster as Honorary Editor and she will be gratified to have the
Alumni continue to report matters of interest to her.
Mrs. Harriet Wylie Stewart will fill the position of active Alumni
Editor and we know that her wide acquaintance with the Alumni will
enable her to carry on to the satisfaction of all the friends of the
Herald. We ask Alumni to send matters of interest to her so that
it may be given a place in our columns.
We know that all our readers will join with us in the» hope that
Miss Horton may speedily regain her accustomed health and that
many years of happiness may be hers.
Ezra Lehman.

It will ;be a great convenience if students registering for the
Summer Session will indicate at the time of registration the courses
they wish to take. In this way ample provision can be made to meet
their needs.
Last year nearly one hundred graduates enrolled for these
courses and present indications are that many more will be with us
this year. The day is not far distant when the B. S. degree will be
required for the beSt-Uosijtions in the elementary field. Graduates
Who are looking to the future will do well to use the summer session
as a means of reaching this goal.
There is a rapidly growing demand for women who are qualified
to supervise the teaching of subjects in the elementary grades and

THE

TEACHERS

COLLEGE

HERALD

to serve as principals of ward buildings. During the past year we
have been asked to help to fill at least fifty such positions and we had
only two graduates who had qualified for this work. One explana­
tion is that the course fitting for these positions is very new but
we hop8§that many of our outstanding women graduates in the two
year course will complete the B. S. course in Elementary Education
as speedily as possible. Now is the time while the demand for teach­
ers of this type is far in excess of the supply.
It goes without saying that all of our graduates in> the Junior
High School course should complete the four year course as speedily
as possible. The requirements for a position in the senior hjgh
school will be graduation from, the four year course with the baccal­
aureate degree. Even the junior high schools are requiring gradua­
tion from a four year course. How better can you spend six weeks of
the summer than by returning to the old school with all its pleasant
associations? The large buildings suggest the summer hotel and
the social life adds much to the pleasure of the summer session. You
will find a registration blank in the back pages of the Herald.

REUNION CLASS OF ’89— 11:00 A. M. SAT., MAY, 25
This is the second official notice to all of the members of the class
of ’89, that they are summoned to attend the fortieth reunion of- their
class,. Saturday, May 25, at 11:00 A. M. standard time:
Mrs. Lehman and I want ¡all of you (including husbands and
wives.) to be our guests at thé Priricipa,rfflhouse on the College Cam­
pus for a luncheon on the date indicated. Begin to make your ar­
rangements for the reunion now if you have not already made them.
Write to the other members of the class. We want one hundred per­
cent attendance. We can have it. LET’S GET IÏT!
Fraternally yours,
Ezra Lehman

TO CLASSMATES OF ’99
The day for alumni reunions this year has been set for May 25th,
somewhat earlier than heretofore but there should be an advantage
in having them occur on Saturday. The week-end holiday should
make it.possible for many more of our class members to attend the
alumni exercises than if held1on another day of the week.
The anticipated] pleasure of greeting again those we have not
seen for quite a long time and learning of their experiences and suc­
cesses in life ' should give MS urge, enough to make every posgible ef­
fort, even to the point of inconvenience, to return to the College on
May 25th. We are arranging for :a dinner meeting on. Saturday
evening.
A personal letter will go to you soon, but in the meantime, please
make your plans so your reply to that letter will be prompt and
favorable.
Frank L. Swigert, President,
Ayer Building, Washington Square, Philadelphia, Pa.

The Class of 1904swill hold its twenty-fifth reunion on Saturday,
May 25. We are advised by the President, Mr. R. G. Bressler, De-

COLLEGE

HERALD

puty Secretary of Agriculture, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, that he
write to all the members of the class in the near future giving further
details and information. In the meantime all the members are ad­
vised' of the date and urged to arrange to be present on May 25.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1909
Dear Classmates:
Dr. Lehman has very kindly invited us to return to the State
Teachers College, Shippensburg, Pa., for our twentieth reunion on
Saturday, May 25, 1929. I am sure that each one of us appreciates
this invitation to return to our old school and that as many- of us as
can possibly arrange to do so will return to see and greet our friends.
The invitation includes, not only yourself but also your husband or
wife as well as your children who, I believe will make the day hap­
pier for the different members of the class and will doubtless receive
some inspiration from visiting the school where their dad or mother
spent several years of their happy youth.
As President of the Class, I am, extremely anxious to know first
of all just where the different members of the class are living. When
you read this letter in the Quarterly, won’t you please sit down and
write me a few lines giving me your name in full and your present
address? I want to appoint a committee and through the committee
learn the wishes o f my classmates when making the arrangements
for this happy day. We can have our reunion on Saturday, May 25th,
with or without a luncheon preceding the classday events on the cam­
pus in the afternoon. It seems to me that we could have a better
time and more opportunity for reminiscing if we plan to get together
at a luncheon before we attend the more or less, formal ceremonies
held on the campus in the afternoon. After I have heard from what
I hope will be a large number of you and have learned your wishes,
I shall appoint a committee to arrange the details, of the entire day
and shall keep you informed by circular letter about the plans for
our Twentieth Reunion.
Please write me a few lines in, answer to this form letter in
the Quarterly. In this way you will do your part in helping us to
arrange for a very happy day.
Assuring you of my willingness to follow your wishes and with
hopes that every member of the class will be able to return for the
Reunion,' I am
Your Classmate,
Emory J. Middour
President, Class 1909

HAVE YOU TRIED THESE SUGGESTIONS IN YOUR
HISTORY
• James Harvey Robinson in his epoch making volume “ The New
History” brings out the fact that the bold style of teaching history
as past politics, dynasties, military exploits, romantic marriages, court
scandals, assassinations, diplomatic intrigues and reigns of terror is a
thing of the past and that space be given in all our textbooks to the
economic, social, spiritual, scientific, and intellectual aspects of human
development. With this conception in view, let us try, Rural Teachersjthe following, give them a thorough test in your community.
1st.— Select, an up to date textbook written in the “ new style”—
plain, simpi||maps, indexes;iand tables of contents, pictures, good print,
simple language—a book adapted to the grade.
Stories for the be­
ginners; old world background for the sixth grade with its marvelous
history of Egypt, the cradle of civilization, the Holy Land, the Phoeni

cian Commerce, the arts of Greece and the Laws of Rome. •Ypa will
say we do not have stories; for the children or Old World Background
for the sixth grade. How can we get them ? . That brings me to'my
2nd. suggestion—The Traveling Library for the community. You
are the teacher in that school and I hope live in the Section :%here
you teach. The State of Pennsylvania will send you fifty books and
a case to keep them, every Six months if you will pay the freight fif
$1.00.
Keep the book case in .your school house and .select all the
supplementary books you want for your history work.
Only 18 per
cent of the Rural population of the U." S. have public library service
as compared with 90 per cent of the urban population.
There are
now 250 county libraries in the U. S.
The county library is only
twenty-eight years old. It is a rural institution and is tax supported.
Next to the traveling library I would suggest the county library.
My third suggestion— Suppose you do not feel that you want the
trouble, responsibility of the traveling library (but I cannot imagine
such a teacher).
You are surely taking magazines,, and a daily
paper.
There should not be a rural teacher in America who is not
reading and keeping up'lfp date with all the .events of the day.
The
far reaching influence of the newspaper as an American institution
needs no demonstration here. One day each week should be set aside
from the regular work in history for the study of the newspaper.
Pour or five periods at the beginning of the term should be||sed for
the teaching of the meaning of news value and how to read a paper.
The editorials, the cartoons, etc.
The ready made cartoons as an
aid in the teaching of history, especially in the Social Sciences, have
been used from the time Thomas Nast destroyed the “ Tweed Ring” in
New York City in the seventies—using open cartoons as the medium
of his attack, flave your students search in old papers and magazines
for these cartoons and then have them as a project, take a subject in
history and draw their cartoons— much interest will result.
A test
of ten questions can be given each week from newspapers.
The 4th Suggestion— The Social Science Bulletin Board.
The
board is divided into three seetionsMor the accommodation of the
classes: American History, Old World Background, and Current
History, or fourth, fifth, and sixth grades.
What, to.' display on, the
bulletin board; and when to display it ?
The system iÿ simpler Each
week appoint a student in each class to be responsible for thllbulletin
of the class,, Each eyfening the student comes to the teacher with a
list of all the important characters, places, pictures, cartoons and
events gleaned from his history lesson, newspapers, magazines,, etc.
Some days will be more productive in history material than others,
but the system is a good one when carried out by the history claves
and the teacher. Put across the top of the board— “ Watch this spot.”

In this way you g'et your class reading, seeing, learning and taking
part in class discussions.
Fifth—The use of the movie or the moving picture in history
In Cumberland County, Pennsylvania there is an ujf to date community
center with a community house and a community movie supported
by the patrons of the schools. Good pictures are shown every Friday
evening. Parents, teachers and children look forward to this evening
as a source of informationand pleasure. If you cannot have the
movie machine, how would the children like to make a movie of
Homer’s Iliad or any other subject they like in U. S. History ? Each
child makes one picture, one label, or legend to tell what his picture
means,/ Paste the pages together, side by side |or an old-fashioned
book, or scroll. A grocery boxwith rollers and slits at each side
makes the movie machine.
Onepupil tells the story to the school as
two boys unroll or reroll the scroll.
Sixth— Study local history. Begin with your school house, the
beauties of nature around you, trees, old roads (Walnut Bottom),
forts* industries, stone houses, churches, maps, deeds, grave yards,
biographies of leading men and women in history of the county.
Draw maps of the township, of county, and note the historical places
on the maps. Make good use of the road maps, and souvenir post
cards. The State of Pennsylvania will send you very fine road maps
and give interesting history of places. Take an historical excursion.
There is no excuse for the rural child not to know and love history
when there is so much material and all that is necessary, today is for
the rural teacher to be up and doing, work, study, search out sources.
We have no more use for a lazy, teacher in the country than in the
town. “ Where there is: a will, there is a way.”
Seventh— Teach patriotism, loyalty to your country. The atti­
tudes common to most Americans undoubtedly are the result of in­
struction in the schools given by the teacher and the textbooks. “ The
average man’s notion of a Frenchman, a German, an, Italian, or a
Jew is gotten not from personal observation but from story tellers,
playwrights, versifiers,” declares an eminent student on the subject
and to this, list might be added the history teacher and the writer
•of the history textbooks. How great is your responsibility for the
history of the country. In your hands lie. the destinies of the U. S.
Suppose you teach with me this winter America’s Creed, The Athen­
ian’s Oath, The ¿Preamble to the Constitution^ Lincoln’s Speech at
Gettysburg, and the following ten commandments, and great will be
your reward.
1. Thou shalt defend your country in peace and in war.
2. Thou shalt honor the flag.

A STUDENT EDITORIAL COMMITTEE

The editors of the Teachers College Herald believe that the
alumni of the college are interested in their successors, the students
of the institution, and that they enjoy knowing something of the
work that the students are doing.

Acting upon this'ii|;elj^f, the edi­

tors made the':Í927 and thé 1928 English numbers of The Herald
student editions.

The .present number of the magazine'resembles

the earlier volumes in the fact that it contains student material; the
editorial policy, however, is changed:

Formerly, the literary mater­

ial has been edited' by members of the English faculty^ an this number
the poems and .short stories have -been edited by a student commit­
tee.

This committee will continue to edit a literary section in the

two following editions of The Herald.

The editors of The Herald are pleased to present to the alumni
the following committee:
Donald Shaffer, Poetry Editor and Chairman of the Committee,
Isabella Sweitzer, Short Story Editor
Louis Knohr, Short Story Editor

The present plan includes the possible addition of Essay and
Book Review Editors before the next issue of the magazine appears.

THE MINER
By Helen Penrod
First Prize, Short Story Contest, 1928
The insistent clamor of the alarm clock shrilled into the misty
chill of four o’clock in the morning. Muttering sleepily Father Wisnosky thrust a searching hand underneath his pillow, found and
silenced the alarm,, then sat up in bed. “Rosy, time to get up,” he
yawned as he shook ¿is still sleeping wife. Mother Wisnosky turned
over, opened one eye, and then laughed, “ Goodness, Michael, your
mustaches!” >
Father Wisnosky reached up and felt his long, silky mustache
which was the pride of his heart. Then he, too, laughed as he ex­
pertly smoothed and twisted the ends into place. The one end had
been pointing skyward while the other end advised the downward
path, ' '
Rolling put of bed, Mother Wisnosky hurried into her dress and
then pattered downstairs, her little fat feet, bare and brown.
As she moved about the kitchen packing Father Wisnosky’s
dinner bucket” while he made the kitchen fire, she sang and humined
“ Dixie Land” . “ Mary must .teach me thè American- words to- the
next verse this evening,” she said as Father Wisnosky fried the eggs
and made thè coffee for his breakfast.
_“ See,, you will have a good dinner today,” holding out the pail for
him to see,' “ bread, applebutter, bologna, crackers, Roman cheese and
a piece of that nice plum pudding.”
“ That’s)’ good,” said Father Wisnosky, “for we’re going to open
the old abandoned mine at Huskin today, and it means hard work.”
“ You don’t mean that old death-trap with the roof half caved in.
and with the air-shaft rotted and moss-covered?” demanded Mother
Wisnosky, stopping in the middle of the kitchen and placing her
hands on her broad hips.
“ That’s the one I mean,” he answered, “ I know it’s dangerous but
the bosiij says there are carloads òf A No. 1 coal in there yet.”
“ Then why doesn’t he make a new opening!”
“ Because the company thinks it will be cheaper to rebuild the
old one.”
Just then the siren of the company truck sounded and Father
Wisnosky snatched his coat and cap and reached for his “ dinner buck­
et.” As he kissed Mother Wisnosky she clung to him and implored,
“ You’ll be careful, Michael? You’ll be very careful? If anything
should happen— ”
“ There, there, Rosy, I’ll be all right. Don’t worry and take care

of the kiddies.”
Again the siren sounded, and with a final pat he ran down the
steps, across the yard and clambered on the waiting truck, which was
half-full of miners.
Mother Wisnosky waved till the truck rounded a bend in the
road and then stood thinking. For a few minutes she frowningly
stared at nothing in particular, and then with a deep sigh, she turned
back to the kitchen.
Sunrise found her milking the gentle-eyed cow, Souk, in the little
stable behind the house. Before she had quite finished milking, the
door banged and into the stable raced the ten-year old twins, Andrew
and Domonick, two cyclones of boyhod and noise. Close behind
them came twelve-year old Mary, with roly-poly Baby Wisnosky “ piga-back.”
As Mother Wisnosky finished milking and gave Souk a bite of
hay, Andrew and Domonick loudly and insistently vied with each oth­
er in pointing out and explaining Souk’s marvels to the cooing baby,
who was enchanted anew every time he Saw Souk.
After eating breakfast, which had been prepared by big sister An­
nie, Andrew and Domonick went with Mother Wisnosky to the tiny
dew-washed truck-patch which was just ’beginning to push forth bits
of tender green life. Here the boys watered and raked and pulled
weeds in energetic bursts of enthusiasm, which were punctuated by
heated arguments, Domonick insisting that Andrew was pulling up
more plants than weeds, while Andrew contended that it was worse
to drown “ some perfectly good corn stalks” than to pull up a “ couple
ole bean plants.”
Mother Wisnosky said, “ Boys, stop that fighting,” and just then
Annie called from the kitchen door, “ Come and get ready for
school.” Glowering at each other in a silence more expressive than
any words, the two miarched into the house.
After Annie had packed their lunches and seen the three children
off to school, she packed her own lunch, for on bright sunshiny -days
like this she took Souik to graze along the roadsides or in chance open
fields which lay near the town. Megena Buscalia, who lived in the
house next door, usually took her cow and went with Annie and Souk.
So today the two girls tied their brightly colored kerchiefs over their
heads, tucked their lunches under their arms, and started up the road
behind the cows, Annie explaining the patterns of the beautiful coun­
ter-pane which she was crocheting, to Megena who was going to be
married next month and who wanted a counter-pane “ just like that

That day as Mother Wisnosky worked about the house and
looked after Baby Wisnosky, a haunting fear kept sulking in the
background of her thoughts. Persistent though this fear was;; Mother
Wisnosky told herself that she was a very foolish woman and deter­
minedly paid no attention to it. All day long she sang about the
house or cheerfully gossiped over the back fence..
As the iair grew cooler and the sun sank slowly down the western
sky, four shrill blasts of the company whistle announced that the
mines were closing for the day, four o’clock.
Andrew and Domoniek tore into the yard, threw their “ dinner
buekèts” on the steps and then raced off to the old lot where the
“ gang” had their baseball diamond.
The sun .Sank still lower and down the road cam,e Annie and Megena, chasing the tired cows.
“ Isn’t Pop home yet?” asked Annie as Mother Wisnosky helped
her to put Souk into the stable.
“ Nò, not yet. No doubt he’ll be a little late this evening, “ They’re
working at Huskin today,” answered Mother Wisnosky. “ You hurry
and milk while I gèt a good supper. lie’ll be hungry.” And off sh!e
bustled to the kitchen.
The golden sun was poised on the' crest of a distant hill and the
distant shouts and jeers from the ball game floated cheerfully through
the evening air. Mary and Baby Wisnosky explored the truck-patch
and played in the front yard.
Soon Andrew and Domoniek.appeared, tired but still argumenta­
tive,” Say Mom, where’s P op?”
“•He’ll be here in a few minutes now. Get ready for supper,”
said Mother- Wisnosky as she hurried about the kitchen.
But would he be here in a few minutes? Pear kept just around
the corner of Mother Wisnosky’s aching head and thoughtfully in­
troduced a new idea. Hadn’t six men been killed only last week in
one of the mines on the other side of Huskin?
Apparently unmoved, Mother Wisnosky placed Father’s supper
on the back of the stove to keep warm and said, “ Supper’s ready.”
The children ate with gusto but the food choked Mother Wisnos­
ky and she made an excuse to leave the table, saying that she would
pat with Father.
Supper was over and the dishes were washed but still Father
hadn’t còme. Fear, hauting, mocking fear, no longer hovered in the
background but stood promiment in the foreground.
“ Andrew, you and Domoniek run to the company office and see if
any accidents have been reported,” huskily said Mother Wisnosky .

The boys looked at their mother’s white face and then, silenced
for once,' soberly set out for the office.
Mother Wisnosky stood at the window and the knuckles of her
clasped hands were white. Had there been an accident? Was Mich­
ael hurt—or killed?
No, no, he couldn’^ » , 1she wouldn’t let him
be! He just couldn’t die and "leave her alone in this strange, this
terrifying America!
“ Please sit down, Mom, Pop’s all right. I’ll bet the truck just
broke down,” consoled Annie.
But Mother Wisnosky,.unseeing, walked from the window'to the
door and then back to the window again, murmuring to herself, clasp­
ing and unclasping her hands. >
■ She met Andrew, and Domoniek in the yard but the boys mutely
shook their heads. “ The lines to Huskin are down. They’ve sent a
truck load of m,en to. see what’k; wrong. They’re expecting to get a
report in about fifteen minutes.” .
Hopelessly, Mother Wisnosky started back up the steps: “ Listen,
Mom, that soundsjlike a truck,” and the excited Andrew raced out
to the road, Domoniek and Mother Wisnosky close on his heels.
The distant hum swelled to a loud ehug-chuging. It was a truck;
it was the truck. And then Mother Wisnosky ..was close in Father’s
grimy- coal-dusty arms, and the truck was noisily clattering on down
the road.
As the soft twilight faded into the warm darkness of the spring
night, the reunited family chattered its Way into the little house.
