PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends :
Though June 15 is nearly four months distant at this
writing, we are talking Summer Session every day, plan­
ning programs, writing letters and acknowledging the
receipt of registrations. We are carried still further into
the future by the receipt of registrations for the fall term
seven months distant. We no longer talk about “school
closing”. We speak of the Christmas and Easter vaca­
tions and the four weeks midsummer vacation but school
doesn’t close for three months as it used to.
The Normal Schools of the State have a big job to do.
A careful survey has shown th a t more than three thou­
sand new teachers are needed every year in the graded
elementary schools, more than two thousand in the one
teacher rural schools and almost exactly fifteen hundred
in the high schools. The task of preparing 6500 new
teachers every year is a big one and will require the united
efforts of all the teacher training institutions. When we
remember th a t in September 1927 every teacher must
hold a State Standard Certificate or a Normal School
diploma or its equivalent we realize even more clearly the
task th at lies ahead of us.

4

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

We can do the job if we receive the financial aid from
the state th a t the Normal Schools have a right to expect.
The budget officers of the state have made a thorough
investigation of the needs of the Normal Schools and have
recommended appropriations th at will make it possible
for these institutions to meet the teaching situation.
The conditions vary slightly in the different Normal
Schools but in the main all the schools need a larger
teaching force, more accommodations for students, and a
larger fund for renovations and repairs. Our own need
is very definite; we must have funds for increases in our
faculty, and for the completion of the improvements to
our administration building. We need a new Training
School and a library, but so urgent are our first named
needs th at we have applied only for sufficient funds to
complete the improvements and enlarge our faculty,
leaving the other m atters for the future.
There is danger th a t the legislature in its efforts to keep down appropriations may be tempted to pare the items
for buildings or improvements in the Normal Schools.
Such action would seriously cripple the work of all the
the schools. We ask you to regard this letter as a per­
sonal request to speak to the members of the Senate and
House of Representatives from your district and ask them
to support the appropriations to Normal Schools recom­
mended by the budget committee. You will be doing a
personal service not only to your Alma Mater but to the
entire state if you will take such action.
So great is the demand for Normal graduates th at we
shall not admit any new high school students next Sep­
tember. We have heretofore maintained our second de­
partm ent because it met a definite need in this district,
but we must give our attention to the two and the three
year course (in the near future a fourth year will be
added). To give us more room all members of the faculty
not connected with the administrative side of our work
will remove from the dormitories at the end of the sum­
mer session.
We want to start with six hundred students in the
regular Normal department next September.
That
means two hundred more students. We want your help
in securing them. Won’t you speak personally to the
promising young high school graduates from your district
and urge them to enroll in your Alma Mater? It’s the
personal touch th a t counts. Then send us their names

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

5

and addresses and we’ll follow up the work th a t you have
done.
In order to make it possible for us to discontinue our
high school department, we will give special instruction
in high school branches during the nine weeks summer
session. A student graduating from a three year high
school with twelve and one-half or thirteen units may be
able to complete the necessary high school work at the
summer session to enable him to enter the regular Normal
course in the fall.
Elsewhere in this number will be found a full descrip­
tion of the courses th a t will be offered at the summer
session. We offer a wide variety of courses suited to
those who expect to teach for the first time next year, for
those who have taught and desire to secure a State
Standard or a Normal Certificate and for those who have
completed the Normal course but wish to take advanced
work. One of the most pleasing features of our sum­
mer school course is the constantly growing attendance
of members of the Alumni. We consider this a fine en­
dorsement of our work.
Just one more important matter. Don’t forget your
class reunions. Two classes, ’75, and ’85, will be guests
of honor at the coming Alumni Reunions—Tuesday, June
9. The following classes are scheduled for reunions:
’90, ’95, ’00, ’05, TO, T5, ’20, and ’23. The presidents and
secretaries of several of these classes have already made
arrangements for a reunion banquet and program, but all
should be making arrangements. Miss Horton will be
glad to furnish an up-to-date list of all these classes. We
want you to arrange to come back, to be boys and girls
again under the shadow of the old school. Of course we
want those of you who do not have your regular reunion
this year to come back, but we lay it as a solemn duty as
well as a pleasure upon the above named classes.
So won’t you remember ju st three things. 1. Speak
to the Senator and Representatives from your district and
urge them to support the Normal School budget. 2.
Speak to some young man or woman in your neighbor­
hood about attending school here next year. 3. Come
back to the old school on Tuesday, June 9. Let these
three things be your pleasure as well as your duty.
With best wishes, I am
Fraternally yours,
EZRA LEHMAN, ’89.

SUMMER SCHOOL FACULTY
While it is not possible to give the roster of the faculty
for the summer term at this writing, we are able to make
certain definite announcements as to its personel. The
majority of the regular members of the faculty will teach
here during the summer. Professor Shearer will give
courses in advanced science and Professor Grove will have
charge of the courses in Higher Mathematics. Dr. Wolf
will join the History Department and Miss Sweeney will
repeat the courses th a t she gave last year. The few
vacant positions will be filled by men and women who
have distinguished themselves in their respective fields. '
RURAL DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL
Miss Hannah Kieffer, Director of Rural Education will
conduct a one-room rural demonstration school at the
“Sunny Hill School” less than ten minutes walk from the
campus. This school is a typical one-room country school.
The entire equipment is inexpensive and is easily ob­
tainable by any rural teacher. The school will be in ses­
sion during the first six weeks of the summer session and
frequent demonstration lessons will be given to the
students preparing for rural work. All such students
should arrange for frequent observation trips to the
school.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO STUDENTS WHO
HAVE NOT COMPLETED A FOURYEAR HIGH SCHOOL COURSE
Up to the present time the Shippensburg Normal School
has maintained a high school department for the benefit
of those students who had been unable to secure a four
year high school course at their home.
The State
authorities have taken the position th at because of our
inability last year to accommodate all four year high
school graduates who applied for rooms and the need of
a large body of graduates in 1927 we ought to discontinue
our high school department as speedily as possible.
We shall accordingly receive no new high school
students after the close of the present summer term.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

7

This means th a t students who expect to complete one or
two units of high school work a t this school must arrange
to do so this summer. This also applies to graduates
of three year high schools who do not have the required
fifteen Carnegie units needed for admission to Normal
School in the fall. These students can get the work
required during the summer.
To accommodate students who need high school credits,
special classes in high school subjects will be organized
for the summer session. All students taking two or more
high school branches will pay tuition a t the rate of $2.00
a week or $18.00 for the summer session. Don’t forget
that this is the last opportunity for high school work in
this institution.
WHAT THE SHIPPENSBURG NORMAL SCHOOL
WILL OFFER THE SUMMER STUDENT
We invite you to attend the Summer Session at our
School. We stress the following advantages.
1. IDEAL CONDITIONS. Our school buildings are
ideally located. They are elevated sufficiently to afford
a view of the surrounding country with the North and
South Mountains forming an effective back and fore­
ground. The location insures a pleasant breeze through
the long halls and corridors at almost any hour of the
hot days of summer. In fact our dormitories with their
verandas suggest a summer hotel rather than an educa­
tional institution.
The Administration Building has been renovated and
modernized until now it is a thoroughly up-to-date
structure. The new auditorium, the large reception
rooms, the school offices, the new class rooms, the fire
proof stair towers, the new lavatories and the renovated
and enlarged dining room must be seen to be appreciated.
2. WIDE VARIETY OF COURSES. As noted else­
where we offer fifty or more courses suited to the needs
of the student who wishes to teach next year for the first
time as well as to the one who wishes to complete the
course. We invite the attention of those who wish to
specialize in certain fields to the opportunities th at are
open to them.
3. PLEASANT HOME LIFE. We shall limit the
attendance at the summer session to 700 students. We

8

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

stress the social life of the teacher by giving the students
a t the summer session proper social opportunities. Re­
ceptions, socials, hikes, excursions to various points of
interest, all contribute to the home life of the institu­
tion. Nine new tennis courts will give opportunity for
pleasant exercise and the young men who are interested
in more strenuous games will have opportunity to play
on baseball teams which will be organized. A schedule
of games will be arranged for the summer season.
4.
MODERATE RATES. All students who have had
experience in teaching and new students who enter with
15 or more high school credits will receive free tuition.
The expenses are limited to the ten dollar registration
fee to be paid when a room is engaged and the cost of
boarding, furnished room, laundry, etc. Expenses are six
or seven dollars a week depending on location of room
selected, for boarding, furnished room, light, laundry and
nurse’s services when necessary. Books may be secured
at a cost ranging from five to seven dollars for the session.
Thus the entire expense for all the items listed will ap­
proximate from $70.00 to $80.00.
EXPENSES FOR THE SUMMER SESSION
The expenses of the summer session are very reason­
able. They are as follows:
Registration:—Term fee, including admission to
games, lectures, concerts, entertainments, etc. $10.00
(In the case of boarding students, this fee
must be paid when a room is engaged. Day
students must make payment on or before
the opening day of the session).
Boarding, including furnished room, light and
laundry, (with nurse’s services when neces­
sary) is six dollars per week, (for a shorter
period than nine weeks seven dollars per week
will be charged), for term ................. *54.00 or 63.00

OUTLINE OF COURSES TO BE GIVEN DURING
SUMMER SESSION—June 15, August 15
The nine weeks summer session will open Monday,
June 15. All indications point to a continuation of our
large summer attendance but to avoid crowded class
rooms we shall limit our attendance to 700.
This number of the Herald is devoted largely to the
Summer Session. Our aim is to outline definitely every
course that will be given and to designate it by a number
so that students will be able to consult their teachers
and superintendents and to write us more definitely in
regard to the course they desire to take. Prospective
students should consult the superintendents under whom
they are likely to teach relative to the course to be taken
by them.
It should be noted th at all courses from 1 to 30 in­
clusive, may be used either for the Partial, the State
Standard or the Normal Certificate. Uuless noted classes
recite six times a week and carry three semester hours
credit.
1. Rural School Management.
This course deals with the practical problems that
must be met by the teacher in the one-room rural school.
It covers the organization of the school, the teacher's
daily program, preparation of reports, and the relation
of the teacher to the community. Its purpose is to bring
about a rural-minded attitude on the part of the teacher.
(Required of all students without teaching experience
who expect to teach in rural schools.) Credit given in
all groups.
2. Teaching of Primary Reading.
This course emphasizes the problems of primary read­
ing. It stresses the technique of teaching reading to
beginners and to children in the second and third year.

damentals and mechanic^ of reading necessary to good
reading habits. Attention will be given to the relative
amount, the devices and the plans for teaching oral and
silent reading, and to types of reading m atter appropriate
for silent reading purposes. Credit given in Rural Group.
4. Teaching of English.
The aim of this course is to secure a free expression
from the pupil in oral and written composition. It

students who are completing the work of the normal
course and to those who have had considerable experience
in teaching.) Credit given in Intermediate Group.

centage, interest, and other divisions of arithmetic. The
methods of teaching these topics are discussed in class
and students are required to demonstrate before the class
how they would teach the subject.
(This course is
recommended to all recent high school graduates who
have not studied arithmetic during their high school
course. Teachers of experience who are deficient in
arithmetic should also elect this course.) Credit given in
Intermediate and Rural Groups.
6. Arithmetic.
This course is intended for those who are deficient in
mathematical knowledge or who find arithmetic difficult.
While it aims to stress correct methods of teaching arith­
metic, it is frankly a content course in mathematics,
and stresses the important divisions of the subject.

metic. (This course should be taken in conjunction with
course 5 by all who are deficient in mathematical
knowledge.) Credit given in Rural Group.

wars, it emphasizes the industrial development of the
country. Special attention is paid to the state syllabus
in social studies. (Open to all students.) Credit given

technique. Special attention is given to the essay and
the short story as media of prose expression and students
are required to write frequent themes illustrative of the
various prose forms discussed. These are made the sub­

work). Credit given in Intermediate Group.
15. Nature Study.
The word nature study is used in a broad sense to cover
all phases of elementary science adapted to all groups.

knowledge of common forms of environmental materials
and to supply the principles th a t will guide him in
selecting and using environmental materials wherever
he may be located. The course includes as wide a range
of observation as possible of materials which the pro­
spective teacher may be called upon to use in his work.
Field trips are supplemented by laboratory study. (Open
to all students.) Credit given in all groups.

17. Art.
The summer course in a rt is intended to give teachers
a working knowledge of the fundamental principles of
art as presented in the grades.
In as much as by fa r the larger percentage of the
students have had no instruction in art, the course aims
to do two things, namely:
1. Give students some practice in working out

14

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

problems themselves to become acquainted
with the various media—pencil, crayon, brush,
(water colors) and scissors (paper cutting).
2. Give some methods, devices, and plans for pre­
senting the subject to their pupils.
Students working for Normal School credits, who wish
to take this course, will be given credit for their first
semester Junior Art. Credit given in all groups.
18. Art. (4 times a week, 2 S. H. credit.)
The work of this semester is largely for methods in
presentation “How to put it across to the Children”, and
in so far as it is possible to do so, advanced problems for
technical skill may be added advantageously. Interests
and attainments for the grades are studied. A course for
the grades is suggested and some specific problems worked
out for clarifying methods of procedure and sometimes
for the technical skill involved. Credit given in Primary,
Intermediate and Rural Groups.
19. Art. (4 times a week, 2 S. H. credit.)
The aim of this course is to give the students preparing
for intermediate or rural work a further development of
the principles stressed in course 17. (Open to all students
who have completed course 17.) This course will be
given if sufficient students elect it. Credit given in Inter­
mediate and Rural Groups.
20. Industrial Arts.
This course aims to instruct students in the use of
various materials th a t will enable them to work out simple
problems as they arise out of the daily necessities of food,
clothing and shelter. Students learn to appreciate the
problems th a t are within the interests of children and
how such problems may be graded according to the child’s
control of technique. The course includes clay modeling,
paper and cardboard construction and simple problems
in wood and textiles. (Open to students interested in
primary work.) Credit given in Primary Group.
21. Handwriting. (4 times a week, 1 S. H. credit.)
The aim of this course is to lay the foundation for a
legible hand of muscular movement writing at commer­
cial speed.
The work is presented from the standpoint of teaching
the subject to pupils in the public schools. The students

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

16

are required to demonstrate the drills before the class
and to discuss the aim of the various lessons as related
to public school writing. During the latter half ol the
course pupils prepare plans and teach a complete lesson.
(Open to all students.) Credit given in Primary, Inter­
mediate and Rural Groups.
22. Music.
This course is intended for students who have some
knowledge of the essentials of music but who have had
no training in public school music. It includes tre a t­
ment of the problems in children’s voices, rote songs,
class drill in the use of the scale tones and individual
singing, ear training and the first steps in music writing.
(Suited to the needs of students who have not had a
good high school or preparatory course in music.) Pre­
paratory course, no credit in normal school course.
23. Music.
This course corresponds to th a t required in first
semester, Junior year and covers treatm ent of tonal and
rhythmic problems of work for the first and second school
year. The course includes class and individual sight
reading; presentation of routine activities; writing four
and eight measure phrases employing whole, half and
quarter notes with corresponding rests. (Intended for
students who have credit for High School Music or Course
22.) Credit given in all groups.
24. Music. (4 times a week, 2 S. H. credit.)
This course is a continuation of Course 22 and covers
the work of the second semester of the Junior year,
(open to those who have completed Course 22 or its
equivalent.) Credit given in all groups.
25. Music. (4 times a week, 2 S. H. credit.)

previous preparation, the course will cover the State

16

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Department graded outline, grades one to four inclusive.
Second, for those who have had one summer’s work or its
equivalent, the course will cover the State Department
graded outline, grades five to nine inclusive. The third
course will be in advanced w ork: Figure marching, light
and heavy apparatus, athletics and highly organized team
games. Special training will be given in lesson plans,
drills, exhibitions, track and field meets and pageants.

to equip the students with knowledge of practical facts
relating to personal and school hygiene. As a result they
will be better able to assist the pupils in forming good
health habits, and standards of living, as well as im­
proving the sanitary conditions of the schools and homes
in the communities in which they will be located.
Nutrition, (4 times a week). This part of the course
is planned to enable the teacher to deal with the problem
of malnutrition among school children. It is necessary
th a t the students have a thorough understanding of the
digestive processes, food values, and a balanced diet.
Especial emphasis is placed upon the systematic weighing
and measuring of children, the evidences of malnutrition,
its causes, and remedies. The morning lunch and noon
hot luncheon are considered as part of the remedy for
malnutrition. (Open to all students.) Credit given in
all groups.
28. Health and Hygiene in the Elementary Schools.

the learning and the teaching processes are studied to
improve the technique of the teacher. This course presupposes an elementary course in psychology. (Open to
all students who have completed Course 30 or the course
offered in the second semester of the junior year.)
Credit given as an elective in all courses.

should remember th a t this is the last time these courses
will be offered by this institution.
COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA
A community orchestra will be conducted by the
Director of Music during the summer session. Students
are requested to bring orchestral instruments with them.
This is a rare opportunity to secure free instruction of a
high grade in orchestral work.
SUGGESTIONS AS TO SUMMER SCHOOL COURSES
Though more than fifty different courses will be avail­
able to students during the summer session, the courses
group themselves under several heads: (a)
Those
suited to students without experience in teaching or
whose teaching experience does not exceed one y e ar; (b)
those suited to students with two or more years’ ex­
perience in teaching who expect to complete the work
required for either the State Standard or the Normal
School Certificate; (c) courses suited to graduates of
normal schools or holders of Standard Certificates who
wish to complete the three-year course in Normal School,
to secure advanced standing in college or to qualify for
a field in teaching in Junior or Senior High Schools. In
addition to these three groups there are special courses
suited to primary, intermediate, rural or departmental
teachers.
We advise selections to be made as follows: Students
desiring to secure a Partial Certificate should select from
the following subjects. Four courses may be taken.

TEACHING IN THE TRAINING SCHOOL
A limited number of students can be given opportunity
to teach in the Training School during the summer ses­
sion. Only experienced teachers will be granted this
privilege and these should make application to Prof. W.
P. Harley, Director of the Training School. Specify
grade or grades and subject or subjects in which oppor­
tunity to teach is desired. Demonstration lessons open
to all students will be given from time to time in the
Training School.
ARRANGEMENT OF SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM
We are especially desirous th a t all students at our
summer session who expect to teach next year who have
not received or who will not receive a State Standard or a

24

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Normal School Certificate at the close of the summer
session pay special attention to this announcement.
1. Consult the County, Borough or City Superinten­
dent under whom you expect to teach next year in regard
to the courses to take during the summer session. You
will find a program to be filled out on page 26. Please
do not fail to secure your Suprintendent’s approval of
this program. Then mail it to us at once.
We realize th at in a few cases the student may desire
to consult Dr. J. S. Heiges, the Dean of Instruction,
before settling definitely upon a program but in such
case it may be possible to arrange m atters by writing to
him. A fter all, the arrangement of a program is not
a difficult matter. Students who expect to teach for the
first time and who will in all probability teach in a one
room rural school must take course 1 in Rural School
Management and course 2 in Teaching of Primary
Reading. The other two courses should be selected from
courses 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 17, 21, 25. All of these branches
count toward the completion of the Normal course in any
group.
Those who taught and have attended this or another
professional school should select subjects th at will fit
into the course th at the student desires to complete.
Note after each subject in the “Outline of Courses” the
statement of the group to which it applies. Then if you
have decided on Primary-Kindergarten, Intermediate,
Rural, or Junior High Group you will be able to choose
your course intelligently. Remember, too, th a t all of
the courses except those in the High School department,
count toward the State Standard Certificate.
2. Dr. Heiges has prepared a program for the summer
school courses which is published in this number of the
Herald. Consult it and you will be able to plan your
program not only as to subjects but also as to time.
It may be necessary to make a few changes in the
published program but as fa r as possible it will be
followed.
3. Finally remember that you must have a State
Standard or a Normal Certificate by September 1927. It
will be advisable for you to plan your work so th a t you
can complete it most economically as to time and satis­
factorily as to results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL SUMMER
SCHOOL STUDENTS
The attention of summer-school students is called to the
article appearing in this number entitled Answers to
questions asked by prospective students I Many ot the
questions th at rise in the minds of students will be found
answered there. We wish however to call the attention
of all students to the program found on page g Please

I
_ ,. , t*i „
All students who expect to teach on a Partial Ele­
mentary Certificate should consult their superintendent
at once, secure his endorsement and mail the program to
us promptly. Failure to attend to this m atter may result
in failure to secure the work desired.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ASKED BY
PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
We shall try to anticipate some of the many questions
th at students are likely to ask about the summer session.
1. “Is it necessary for me to come to the school before
June 15 ?” Ans. “N o; if you leave home on the morning
of th a t day, you will arrive in time. The first day will
be given up to assigning students to class. Class work
will begin Tuesday morning, June 16.”
2. “What articles should I bring with m e ! Ans.
“Bring window curtains (if you wish thern), bureau
covers, cushions, towels, table napkins, and toilet articles.
Your room is supplied with a bed, bedding, bureau, desk,
light fixtures, and wash stand.”
, ,
8. “Will my baggage be delivered a t the school;
Ans. “If your trunk or suit case is checked and plainly
marked with your name, room number, or house number,
it will be delivered free of cost on the opening day of
school. Those coming after the opening day will be
required to pay twenty-five cents for the delivery of each
piece of baggage.”
I I , M |
4.
“I am a graduate of a four-year high school. Can
I receive enough credits to enable me to teach next y e a r.
Ans. “Yes, you will be permitted to carry four branches
from the approved list (see pages 21-22). If you pass

28

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

three of these you will receive a partial certificate en­
titling you to teach next year at a minimum salary of
$85.00 a month under the terms of the Edmonds Act.”
5.
“Will it be possible for a student who does not
have 15 high school units to receive a certificate to teach
next year?” Ans. “The regulations require graduation
from a four-year high school or its equivalent of those
who have not taught before July 1,1922. However, when
it is not possible for a district to secure enough teachers
having the qualifications indicated above, the board may
elect a teacher without such qualifications and on the
request of the county superintendent, a partial certificate
will be issued to one who lacks high school training,
but who has taken the required professional work at a’
normal school. No student lacking high school qualifica­
tions who has not taught in the public schools will be
permitted to take the work required for a partial cer­
tificate unless such privilege is recommended by the De­
partment of Public Instruction. This will be granted
oniy on the written request of the Superintendent of the
district m which the student expects to teach.
(A
number of counties in this normal school district could
not secure enough new teachers with adequate high
school training last year. Partial Certificates were issued
9
have high school training, but
who had completed the summer course satisfactorily).
,,
.?,a n . I do any work during the summer school
Hiat will give me high-school credits?” Ans. “Yes
Because of the number of mature men and women who
have not had high-school opportunities we shall give
nigh-school work during the summer session. Those who
have taught in the public schools may carry two highschool subjects in addition to the work needed for a
partial certificate ; those who have not taught may carry
but one in addition to the required professional work 1
in o r? ,,1 f ceive credit for teaching done during
1924 1925.
Ans.
You will be given four semester
hours credit for every year of teaching, for which you
received a satisfactory rating, toward the completion of a
state standard certificate. No credit, however, can be
given toward the completion of a high school course or

vanced courses will be given. (See pages 22-23).
9. “Is it necessary for me to report at the office of the
school as soon as I reach Shippensburg ? ’ Ans.
Yes,
all students should report at the office of the school im­
mediately after arriving in town. Sign your name m the
official school register and ascertain whether your room
or house assignment tallies with the one in the office. A
representative of the school will meet all trains on Mon­
day, June 15. Give baggage checks to him so th a t your
baggage can be delivered promptly.
ATHLETICS AT SHIPPENSBURG NORMAL
Basket Ball our winter sport has had a fairly success­
ful season. With the return of only Capt. Robert Line
of last year’s team the possibility of building up a win­
ning combination has been a hard proposition. Although
the boys have worked hard and faithfully in the shaping
of a team, the chances of victory depended almost entirely
on inexperienced players.
, ._
The seasoning of a team th a t is necessary to develop
a team th a t will work under fire, against teams of much
more experience is quite impossible. Basket Ball is a
sport in which ability to shoot baskets is as essential
as ability to hit is in Base Ball. The time when boys
develop an eye for the basket is at th a t time when
they develop coordination of muscles, and team pl&y
which is at the ages of 10 to 14. Unfortunately most of
our boys came from rural schools where organized
athletics is still unknown or at least not encouraged.
This possibly is due to the lack of space and equipment.
It will be interesting for our alumni to know th a t our most
promising basket ball men come out of our own training
school.
, ;v
,
We offer no alibi for the record th a t the boys have
thus far attained, for the reason th a t a steady improve­
ment has been noticeable. We have lost but one game
that we should have won. Our losses have been due to
our meeting of superior teams. I personally am pleased
with the spirit of the boys and we hope to win our re­
maining games.

A CALL TO THE CLASS OF 1900
In June 1925, a quarter of a century will have rolled
around since we were graduated from Cumberland Valley
State Normal School. At th a t time ninety-two happy
boys and girls were given a diploma marking their first
important milestone in life. Since th a t time seven of our
number have answered the last call, and do you realize
that before another quarter of a century has passed, the
majority of us shall have answered th a t same last call.
On Tuesday, of Commencement Week, we shall meet
and join in the Alumni Parade, and in the afternoon or
evening, we shall meet at the banquet table of one of the
hotels in town, and fittingly celebrate our 25th reunion.
Would it not be fine if we could show up th a t day
eighty-five strong? You do your part and depend on the
other fellow to do his. Cast aside for a day or two your
cares and your sorrows, and let us meet as men and women
grown stronger as the years have gone. Bring along your
wife or husband, and your son and daughter, and let us
put on a reunion of which not only we, but our Alma Mater
may well be proud.
Sincerely yours,
j . e . McCu l l o u g h .

Mr. Miller died a t his home in Harrisburg after a short
illness. For years he had been active in the Boy Scout
Movement. He was employed by the Bell Telephone Com­
pany at the time of his death. We are sorry th a t we are

Ethel M. Gates ’24, died February 22, 1925.
Miss Gates died after a lingering illness from goitre.

but did not improve and was taken back to her home from

passed away on the above daté.
Hon. Fillmore Maust, ’74.

A Tribute.

Fillmore Maust died January 19, 1925, at the Carlisle
Hospital where he had gone for what was regarded as a
minor operation. He rallied promptly and ^for a few
days improved rapidly. Unfortunately complications de­
veloped and he passed away early on Monday morning,
January 19. He was buried in Chestnut Hill cemetery,
Mechanicsburg.
In the death of Fillmore Maust the community looses
an outstanding citizen who had served it well and the
Normal school laments the loss of one of its most prom­
inent and active alumni. He was graduated from this
institution in the class of ’74, the first class to leave the
school. At the semi-centennial exercises held last June,
Judge Maust delivered a splendid address, in which he
showed how deeply his Alma Mater had entered into his
life.
After his graduation he taught for several years in the
public schools of Cumberland County and then began
the study of law in New Bloomfield, Perry county. A fter
being admitted to the bar he practiced for a short time
in that county but soon took up his residence in Carlisle
where he spent the remainder of his life. He took an
active part in public affairs. He was elected District At-

torney in 1889, to the state legislature in 1896, and was
appointed Judge of the Cumberland County Courts by
Governor Sproul in 1921. He had a large legal practice
but was never too busy to interest himself in any move­
ment th a t made for the good of the community. He
taught the Adult Bible class in the first Reformed Church
tor many years. The lines of the poet refer to such lives
as his.
There is no death; what seems so is transition,
This life of mortal breath is but the suburb
Of the life elysian
Whose portal we call death.”
EZRA LEHMAN.

ALMA MATER
In the dear old Cumberland Valley,
’Neath the glowing sky,
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
On the hill top high.
Chorus
Swell the chorus ever louder,
We’ll be true to you,
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Dear old “red and blue.
Near the waving golden corn-fields,
Just beyond the town.
Tower the ivy covered buildings
As the sun goes down.
When we leave our Alma Mater
We will praise her name,
Ever live to raise the standard
Of her glorious fame.
