“ FIRST IMPRESSIONS”
A certain high school principal is fond of referring to his faculty
as a color scheme, and he requires of a new teacher that she harmonize
with the general design. It is a suggestive figure of speech which school
authorities nlay well consider Some faculty color schemes are dull and
monotonous, with no contrasting harmony; these tend to produce stereo­
typed methods of instruction.
A t the Cumberland Valley State Normal School, however, the color
scheme of the faculty personalities is so fortunately diversified that a
breadth of viewpoint and widespread experience are at the disposal of
the students. This contact with “ many men of many m inds” helps to
carry out the aim stressed in the catalogue, to afford abundant social
training for the students.
There are several new members of the faculty this year. They have
admired the beauty of the Cumberland Valley, while busying themselves
with readjustment to new conditions. They are becoming accustomed to
the local flavor of speech; they are absorbing the interesting traditions
o f the school; they are learning the fascinating history o f the surround­
ing country; but, above’ all, they are charmed by the delightful cordiality
o f the faculty towards newcomers, by the courteous and friendly attitude
o f the students, and by the earnestness that characterizes the very hearty
spirit of the school.

EXTENSION AND CORRESPONDENCE COURSES TO
BE GIVEN A T NORMAL
The Normal School is prepared to offer a number of extension
courses. The plan is a very simple one and the courses are so arranged
as to suit the convenience of the greatest possible number. The follow­
ing are the requirements.
I.
A group of fifteen or more teachers or students must agree
upon a course. These courses may be given on Monday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday or Saturday evenings or a Saturday forenoon or after­
noon if the services of the teacher are available at the time selected. It
is believed, however, that Friday evening and Saturday morning are
likely to be the time most convenient for all concerned.
The course will consist of fifteen meetings o f two hours each, with
outside readings. A credit of two semester hours will be given for the
completion of any course.
Each student taking the course will pay $5.00 for each semester hour,
or $10.00 for the course. ' This will cover all necessary expenses except
books. A s far as possible reference books will be furnished free of
cost by the school but books required by the individual student must be
purchased by him.
Correspondence work will be given by different members of the
faculty to meet the needs of the students. A ll who are interested in
taking correspondence courses are urged to write to the principal, stating
their needsfl A full outline of the coijrse desired will be sent when
requested. The charge for a correspondence course is $10.00, payable
in advance. The student will also pay a small fee of approximately 50
cents to cover the cost of postage. W e append a brief outline of the
subjects in which extension work will be given.

OUTLINE OF EXTENSION W ORK A T NORMAL
A s indicated above, extension courses in various subjects will be
offered by the Normal School faculty during the year. The conditions
under which these courses are offered are fully explained. W e give a
brief outline of the various courses. Prof. W . P. Harley, Director o f the
Training School, will offer a course in modern educational practice.
Thisfcourse covers a study of modern educational practice as compared
with traditional practice. Time is devoted to a discussion of the aim of,
education, “ The study of the lesson,” the problem ” and “ the project.”
The types of recitation, the socialized recitation and the special methods
of teaching history, geography, mathematics, spelling, general science,
health and English are carefully considered. The problems of grading
children and organizing the school is an important part o f this course.
The newer movements in educational theory and practice are also em­
phasized.

THE

NORMAL SCHOOL H E R A L D

Miss Mary K . Harris, Director of Kindergarten and Prim ary. Educa­
tion, will offer three courses A course in the teaching of number, desig­
nated as Mathematics 12” in the catalog is listed. This work will cover the
ground outlined in the regular Normal School course.
The course in primary methods, listed in the catalog under “ Edu­
cation 43,” is' of special value to primary, teachers and supervisors. It
not only covers the work as outlined in the catalog but gives special
attention to silent reading and the problem of vitalizing arithmetic and
language work. It stresses principles and methods underlying the teach­
ing of primary history and geography. Stress is laid on hand work and
playground activities.
The course in “ the teaching of primary reading ” covers the ground
indicated in the regular Normal course “ English I3|»| It stresses the
problems involved in teaching reading and deals with the special methods
employed, with the advantages and disadvantages o f each. The modem
methods of teaching primary reading through story telling, phonics,
rhyme, question and answer are emphasized. The motivation of;;|seat
work is an integral part of the course.
Miss Hannah Keiffer, Director of Rural Education, will offer a
course in teaching of geography. This course will cover the work in
geography as reorganized by the State Department. It aims to make
geography a vital problem for all the boys and girls of our school sys­
tem. The course is similar in scope to the one given by Miss Kieffer in
the summer session of 1921. Miss Kieffer will also offer special courses
in personal and school hygiene and rural sociology.
Prof. L. W. Rice will offer a course in general science, covering the
work in animal and plant biology. A s this course includes considerable
laboratory work it can be given only at the Normal School or in towns
or cities where access can be had to a good laboratory.
Prof. Rice also okers a course in American History. The first part
of the course will deal with the events leading up to the discovery and
settlement of America. It will correlate the history of Europe with that
of America. There will be a brief general survey of American history
followed by a study o f the best methods o f teaching history. In short,
history will be presented as a social science, dealing with the develop­
ment of the nation through social and economic forces. The course will
be supplemented by illustrated lectures and library assignments.
Miss Clara L,. Robinson will offer a course in educational psychology.
This course will be especially suited to those who have not had the op­
portunity of taking special work in psychology. It will deal with the
psycho-physical organism with special relation o f mind to body, heredity,
sensation and preception, attention, interest, imagination, memory, ap­
perception, habit, and fatigue The problem of the adolescent and ab­
normal child will be considered. The work will have special reference
to the every day problems o f the teacher.
Prof. Heiges will offer a course in history and principles o f education.
The controlling ideas in this course are: to improve the teaching of

6

THE

NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Arithmetic; to give a better comprehension of mathematical principles;
to discuss the marked changes made in Arithmetic.
Some of the material taken up in this course can be indicated but
not in its entirety. Among the things studied will be ( i ) history of
Arithmetic, (2) Early methods o f teaching Arithmetic, (3) Present status
of Arithmetic, (4) text books and their proper use, (5) contributions
recent scientific studies have made toward standardizing the subject, (6)
study o f groups of problems embodying various mathematical principles,
(7) discussion of the common errors in the teaching o f Arithmetic, (8)
text books and their proper use, (9) use of standard measurements.
Throughout the course there will be emphasis placed upon the com­
mercial and industrial application o f arithmetic, with practice upon the
making o f problems.
P rof. Heiges will also offer a course in arithmetic dealing with its
history and its application to modern life.
This is an integrating course and aims to bring together the details
of educational theory and practice, and to l& v e with the student a uni­
fied body o f educational doctrine. It also aims to rationalize the teach­
ing process thereby making the teacher a living force not a mere machine.
The course begins with a brief survey of the educational systems of
early peoples, but the greater part of the course will be devoted to the
origin and development of present day practices and tendencies in edu­
cation. There will be a discussion o f such topics as the aims and pur­
poses of education; the history and present status of various educational
movements— vocational educational, scientific measurement; the Jurnor
High School; formal discipline; project and problem teaching; socialized
recitation; training for defectives; vocational guidance; the rural school
problem.
.
,.
A number of illustrated talks will be given in connection with this
C° U Each lesson will cover a certain unit or period of educational history.
The preparation will consist of study of text and assigned readings.
D r Lehman will offer two courses: the first, the problem of English
in our public school's, will deal with the best means at hand for the ac­
quisition of the mother tongue. It will touch upon the various branches
of study as they are related to the development of English but the pri­
mary purpose will be to enable the teacher to work more effectively m
English and to secure better results. It will stress the problem of ora
and written compositions, the methods of vitalizing each, the marking of
compositions and other problems connected with the work in English.
The second course to be offered will deal with the reading of the
adolescent child. It will stress the teaching of classics the place of
literature in the curriculum and will deal with the special problems of
the high school and grammar school teacher.
Miss Elizabeth McWilliams will give a course on Nutrition, covering
the work as outlined in the school catalogue. This course will be of
special value to teachers who have not had work of this character.

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL, HERALD

Examination in the subject matter of this course will undoubtedly be
one of the requirements of the certificates to be issued in the future.
Miss McWilliams will be glad to give further information regarding
this course to all who are interested in it.
A ll superintendents or teachers interested in any of these courses
should write to the school authorities. A full outline w ill be sent on
request and all information given as to the organizing of a center.

SPRING TERM SESSION A T NORMAL
Already we are receiving many requests for information about the
spring term course. Until recently w e were unable to say whether it
would be possible to give a nine weeks’ spring course in addition to the
summer session. A fter consultation with the State Department w e are
able to announce that we will have a nine weeks’ spring term beginning
Monday, April 17th. While it is too early to announce definitely just
what courses will be given, we are able to say that at least three, and
possibly four, special courses will be offered. These will be:
1. ■ A course for those students who have fifteen or more high school
credits. This course will cover the eighteen weeks of the spring and
summer sessions and will count as the equivalent of one-half year in
the regular Normal course.
2. A course suited to those who have not had the required training
to enter the Junior class. This course will also continue for eighteen
weeks and will enable students to secure from three to four high school
credits.
3. A special course approved by the State Department will be given
for those who wish to secure either a provisional or a professional cer­
tificate, officially knqwn as Emergency A and Emergency B certificates.
4. A course in advanced work for graduates of our school who wish
to take either advanced professional or academic work.
It is possible that other courses may be offered but we are able to
state positively that the courses above indicated will be given. Teachers
and prospective Normal School students will not fail to note the splendid
opportunity that will be afforded by these courses. A ll will realize that
it will not be possible to give the spring term course after this year as
the minimum term will be eight months next year and it will be impos­
sible to find time for the spring term. A ll are urged, therefore, to take
advantage of this last opportunity to secure necessary credits.
W e know that the registration for the spring term will be very
heavy. In order that all will have the same opportunity in the matter
of room assignment we shall not accept registration fees prior to January
1st. I f fees are sent in advance of the time indicated they will be re­
garded as of the date indicated. W e shall be glad to answer all inquiries
in regard to this course and to send full information as soon as the
courses are definitely arranged. The January number of the Herald will
contain a complete outline o f the spring term work.

SECOND SEMESTER OPENS FEBRUARY 6
The second semester which will open February 6, promises to mark
the entrance o f an unusually large number of students. Under the new
arrangement it is possible for a student to be graduated in the middle
o f the year a? soon as he or she has completed the course.' Under this
arrangement it will be piffsible for a student who was not able to enter
normal in September, to take up the work at the beginning of the second
semester and®o> gain the half year that would be lost if the student
waited till next September. Students who were forced to drop out of the
first semester by reason of illness or other unavoidable causes will be
able to take up the work to advantage next semester.
Another type of students who will be interested in the work of the
second semester are those who have not had the required 15 units of
high sdhool work. Such students will be able to work off two or two
and one-half credits during the second semester. It will also be to the
advantage of students who expect to teach next year to come at the be­
ginning o f the second semester so as to qualify under the higher quali­
fications required for teaching. V ery few students without experience
in teaching will be able to qualify for an emergency certificate without
taking at least 18 weeks at normal. W e shall be glad to give full in­
formation regarding the work of the second semester to any persons who
may be interested.

THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR
Our readers are doubtless familiar with the fact that last year’s at­
tendance broke all records. The total enrollment in the normal depart­
ment from June 1, 1920, to June 1, 1921, was 834. W e began the new
year with the largest summer school in our history, but it was a mooted
question whether we could break any more attendance records. A very
large senior class, the largest in our history, had left us, the incoming
senior class was not so large— would it be possible to enroll enough stu­
dents to break the fall term record o f last year? Teaching had been made
more attractive because o f higher salaries and longer terms, but the finan­
cial depression had become so general that many of the parents of high
school graduates were out of work and were unable to provide funds
to send their children to school. This condition was very marked in the
manufacturing towns and cities. Then, too, under the new regulations
only students who had fifteen or more high school credits were privileged
to receive free tuition. This meant that the students in our secondary
department must pay $2.00 a week tuition. Fortunately a ruling of the
Attorney General’s office makes it possible for the local district to pay
the tuition, but such action was dependent upon the judgment o f the local
boards.
It is especially gratifying, therefore, to note that our attendance
showed a ten per cent, increase over that of last year, thus establishing a
new record for fall term attendance in the school’s history. W e are

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

especially gratified to note that the junior class has enrolled 157 members,
very much the largest class we have ever had. In spite of the enroll­
ment and tuition fees, 129 students are to be found in our secondary
department.
The new term brought a large increase in the teaching force. We
shall miss P rof. Shearer, who has leave of absence to complete a post­
graduate course at Chicago University, but his place will be ably filled
by Prof. L. W. Rice, who was a member o f the summer school faculty.
A s previously announced, Miss M. Margaret Stroh will not be with us.
She will be greatly missed in all departments of the school. The English
work has been reorganized. The greater part of M isslStroh’s work will
be in charge of Miss Carrie Belle Parks, of Alexander, N. Y . Miss Parks
is a graduate of Syracuse University and has done post-graduate work at
Teachers’ College, Columbia University. She has had wide experience as.
a teacher of English and during the past year was a member of the
English faculty in one of the Rochester, N. Y., high schools. Miss Mary
Kirk, a graduate of Juniata College, is assistant librarian and assistant
teacher of English. The work of the music and art departments has been
enlarged to such an extent that an assistant was needed in both depart­
ments. Miss Claire Demaree, of Newport, and Anna Cullen, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., are assistants in music and art respectively. Both are experienced
teachers and are well qualified for "the positions they are filling.
So important does the state deem the work of physical education that
provision has been made for an instructor of men in this department in
our school. Prof. A J . Sharadin, of Altoona, who has had charge of the
coaching and physical education in Defiance College, Ohio, was secured
for this work. Prof. Sharadin has had a wide experience as an athletic
coach and has developed successful teams in all branches of boys’ ath­
letics. He is also an experienced teacher of physical education.
The work of the training school will be very much extended during
the coming year. The Directors of the various groups and their as­
sistants will need all their time for supervisory work. T o co-ordinate the
work and enlarge its usefulness it was deemed wise to secure a man who
had had wide experience as an educator and who had a vision of the
possibilities open to students through the work of the teacher training
classes. W e were all much gratified when we were able to secure Prof.
W . P. Harley for this work. Prof. Harley has had a wide experience
as a teacher and supervisor. His work during the past eight years iE-,
the Mt. Union schools has attracted the attention of the state authorities.
Prof. Harley is not only an able teacher himself, but he. is an excellent
supervisor. He is a graduate of Juniata College, of Teachers’ College,
Columbia University, and has been a close student of educational affairs.
The last member of the faculty to join us was Miss Blanche Wright,
of Lisbon, N. Y ., who took the place so long held by Miss Matthews as
teacher of piano. In addition to her work in piano Miss W right will
give instruction in voice. She has been well trained for the work. She
was graduated from the music department of Westminster College and
has taught in the public schools of Pennsylvania.

AH the students who returned this fall were impressed with the im­
provements^ that were being made in the various buildings. The girls'
dormitory is being equipped with electric lights. When the work is
completed the lighting equipment o f this building will be the very best
that can be secured. The lamp brackets and the overhead lights will
furnish the soft mellow light so much desired in study rooms. A new
and very modem lavatory is in process of construction in the girls’
wing of the main building. Steel lockers will be installed in the gym­
nasium and the corridors o f the main building for the use o f the day
students. A system o f stoker grates will be installed in the boiler rooms.
B y means of these it will be possible to provide a more evenly graded
system of heating and at the same time to effect a material saving in coal
as all smoke and gasses will be consumed in the furnaces. Various other
minor changes and improvements are being made in different parts of
the buildings. Unfortunately the time between the summer session and
the opening o f school in September was entirely too short to make it
possible to complete all the work that had to be done, but the .work is
progressing rapidly and in the near future the students and faculty Will
be able to enjoy the improvements that are being provided.

THE NEW BURSAR A T NORMAL
Mr. J. D. Robinson, who for the past eight years filled the position
o f treasurer and general manager, resigned his position at the close of
the summer session’. Mr. Robinson has a wide acquaintance among our
Alumni and former students and all will regret his leaving the school.
Mr. Robinson was liked by all who came in contact with him and his
many friends will wish him success in whatever line o f work he may
see fit to engage.
Mr. J. W. Lackhove, of Mercersburg, was elected to succeed Mr.
Robinson. He has had a wide experience in the work that he has un­
dertaken. He was an assistant in the general manager’s office a t'M e r­
cersburg Academy for a number o f years, and was employed in the
United States service for a considerable time. During the war he was
in the army service in France. On his return he assumed charge o f the
Mansion House at Mercersburg. He resigned this position to come to
normal. He has moved his family here and is now a member o f the
school colony. He has already shown that he is an alert and efficient
officer.

Change In The Management of the School Laundry
Mr. Frank Jones of Bellefonte has taken charge o f the school
laundry. Mr. Jones has had a wide experience in laundry work. H e has
already introduced a number of changes and improvements in our laundry
service. It is the purpose of the school to put additional equipment in
the school to handle the large amount o f work that is made necessary
because o f the increase in the attendance o f students.

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
Just a year ago we opened our letter with these statements, “ W e
have gone over the top once more. . . . W e have become accustomed
to breaking attendance records. East fall broke all fall term records up
to that time.” Well, we can’t improve on the above statement, at least
as far as the facts are concerned, for we have gone over the top once
more. W e know of course that in the near future we must be satisfied
with our enrollment because of the physical limitations that confront us.
W e can accommodate only a certain number. W e had 454 students
during the summer term. W e were forced to turn away a number of
boarding students since it was possible for us to accommodate only 344
boarding students. W e could arrange for but one dinner hour. During
the spring we handled the larger crowds by having two dinners, one at
five and the other at six o’clock. The arrangements previously made
with our help made it impossible for us to do this during the summer.
W e shall try next summer to provide for all who wish to come by adopt­
ing a plan similar to that used during the spring term.
I find that I have drifted away from what I started out to say about
the fall term registration. Again we broke all records for fall term at­
tendance. The enrollment of 157 students in the junior class tells the
story o f our continued growth. Another gratifying feature is the at­
tendance o f boys. 125 are enrolled for the first semester. A large
majority of these are in the regular normal department.
W e wish again to thank the members of the Student Council and
the cabinet of the Y . W . C. A. for the interest these organizations took
in the new students. Every new girl had received a letter from a mem­
ber of one of these organizations welcoming her to -the school and giving
her needed information. When the girls arrived the members o f these
organizations saw to it that they found their rooms and helped them put
their rooms in shape.
Our work began promptly on Tuesday afternoon with the assign­
ment of recitations and in the course o f twenty-four hours the large
student body had begun its work. O f course it was necessary for the
usual personal adjustments to be made, but so well had Prof. Heiges
arranged matters that things were running smoothly in the shortest pos­
sible time.
Elsewhere you will find a statement of the material improvements
made about the school, the new members of the faculty, arrangements
for the spring term, etc. In this connection we wish to call your atten­
tion to the fact that the school is planning both extension and corre­
spondence courses. A s soon as this work can be organized we hope to
make it possible for those who are looking forward to the completion of
normal school work or who wish advanced credits to secure the desired
work through the normal school.
The Herald will continue the policy inaugurated last year. Every
number will be devoted to the discussion o f some big school problem.

THE NORMAL. SCHOOL HHRALn

The staff will remain as it was last-year with the exception of Miss
Parks, who will succeed Miss Stroh as editor-in-chief. Misses Clever
and Mayberry will assist and the other departments o f the school will
from time to time take charge of the editorial work. A ll will welcome
Miss Horton’s return to the field in which she is so vitally interested, that
of Personal Editor. I f any of you are married or are planning to be
married Miss Horton expects you to tell her about it and if the stork has
visited your family she will insist on having you report the good news to
her. W e want all of you to help us in our endeavor to make the new
year the most successful year in our history.
Fraternally yours,
E zra L eh m an , ’89.

Meeting of the County and City Alumni Associations
W e are particularly anxious that the alumni of our various counties
and cities shall effect a strong organization during the coming year.
The new legislation is far-reaching and will do much to make teaching
more Attractive to young men and women. It will also hold those who
have .been engaged in teaching, in the ranks. W e must, however, realize
that if we wish to hold the advantage gained we must be alert. W e are
all vitally interested in the future. It is our business to enlighten the
general public as to the needs of the schools. There will be those in
every community who will object to any increase in taxation even for
the schools. W e must enlighten these men and women and show them
the need for better schools and higher salaries for teachers. W e cannot
afford to rest on our oars and congratulate ourselves on the advantage
gained. W e must assist Dr. Finegan and those who are associated with
him in the big educational program that has been so successfully launched.
W e must get together. Wherever there are as many as ten of our
alumni or former students in a community, we ought to organize an
association unless it is convenient for us to join or affiliate with a larger
organization. In the very near future we shall call on a number of you
to help reorganize these associations. W e learn that the splendid organiza­
tion that existed in Dauphin County has been revived. W e shall note
with much interest the work in Cumberland, Franklin, Adams, York,
Pulton, Perry, Huntingdon and Bedford counties. W e have been specially
gratified at the good reports that have come to us from the Pittsburgh
and Westmoreland county associations.
W e sometimes fail to make our organization as effective as it might
otherwise be because of delay in getting together. Sometimes we wait
until the beginning o f institute week and then the time is too short for an
effective organization with a pleasant banquet. Let us start the ball
rolling at least two or three weeks before the time when the meeting is to
be held. Then we will have a fine turnout and will all enjoy meeting one
another and hearing the news from the old school.

Reunions of the Classes of 1882, 1892, 1902 and 1912
No, you are not mistaken! W e said ’82 and the other 30, 20 and 10
year classes. N ow is the time to begin work if you want to have a great
big reunion next June. One o f the most successful class reunions held
in recent years, not only from the standpoint o f attendance but in genera! interest as well, was planned nearly two years in advance. Now is the
time to send out letters to the members of the class, to appoint the proper
committees and— this may be just a little hard to believe— to engage
quarters for the reunion banquet. I f you want your banquet held at an
hour convenient to the members of your class and at a convenient place
you must engage your caterer long in advance. N ext year Alumni Day
will fall on Tuesday, June 13. Don’t forget the day. Mark it in your
calendars and make up your minds that your class reunion will be a big
red letter day in your life.

ATTENDANCE OF MEN A T NORMAL
There were those who feared that the new course of study might
drive the men away from the normal school. W e cannot speak for all
normal schools, but our own experience has been very different. Never
have we had so many strong, efficient men at our school. Since the
normal school course has been raised to college rank and the normal
schools have been made junior colleges in everything except name— and
the name will soon follow— our school has had an increased attendance
o f men. W e are glad to see them here for we need both men and women
in the teaching ranks. It is highly important that the men who are to do
the big work in our public schools should be trained in a professional
school. W e want to make it worth while for men to attend our school
by developing a high type o f scholarship, good clean athletics and a social
life that will appeal to young men and women.

BANQUET OF THE DAUPHIN COUNTY ALUMNI
The first organization to hold its meeting was the Alumni Associa­
tion of Dauphin County. The graduates and former students o f Dauphin
can always be relied upon to have a good meeting. The meeting held
this year was no exception, even though the machinery was set in motion
rather late in the week. A n S. O. S. call was sent out to the Alumni
for their presence at a banquet and also for a representative from our
Alma Mater. So well was the call responded to that nearly fifty persons
enjoyed the bountiful repast. A fte r the good things had been disposed of
Prof. Portis A. Smith presented the toastmaster, Supt. H. J. Wickey, of
Middletown. Being a past master in this department, Supt. Wickey, by
his apt remarks, soon had everyone feeling at home and in his inimitable
way introduced the following persons: Misses Carrie Brown and Martha

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Mark, Prof. M. O. Billow, Dr. E. M. Gress, State Botanist, P rof. John
Cobb, P rof. E. H. Burd and P rof. J. S. Heiges, Dean. The trend of the
remarks was that of love for the old school and the pledging of loyalty
to h e r.. Singing of songs and the giving of yells interspersed the entire
proceedings. The whole affair was voted a great success by everyone.
The officers elected for the ensuing year were, President, Mrs. Eliza­
beth Shellenberger Hill, ’95; Vice-President, Dr. E. M. Gress, ’96; Secre­
tary, Miss Angella Unverzagt, ’ 18; Assistant Secretary, Miss Carrie
Brown, ’94; Treasurer, Mr. Portis A. Smith, ’07. With such an energetic
corps of officers a good meeting is assured next year.

ATHLETIC OUTLOOK FOR 1921-1922
For a full week prior to the opening of the first semester a squad of
twenty stalwart athletes summoned to Eckel’s Field for that purpose, was
busily engaged in mastering the fundamentals of the American College
Fall classic— football, under the guidance of the new athletic director,
A. J. Sharadin, of Altoona, late of Defiance College. Since school opened
the squad has increased to forty-five candidates, who are out daily striv­
ing for a varsity berth and incidentally causing last year’s varsity men
quite a little anxiety. O f last year’s squad the following letter men are
available: Captain-elect King, Moore, Sealover, .Mellott, J. Neely, W.
Neely, Craig, Warren, Hoerner and Charlton. This squad of ten, to­
gether with some splendid new material very auspiciously opened the 1921
season with a 33-0 victory gained at the expense of the husky Lebanon
Valley College Reserves on Eckel’s Field, October 1st. Hoerner, from
the quarterback station, handled the team in midseason form, using a fine
collection of plays at the opportune time. The work offensively displayed
by Warren, Craig, Hoerner, Moore, Mellott and Charlton in the backfield convinced the student body that the sextette of Red and Blue ath­
letes this season balance the work of the heavy line material which Coach
Sharadin, with the able assistance of Prof. Grove, is wielding into shape.
The squad of 45 men is showing considerable improvement in all depart­
ments of the sport.
The schedule arranged by Faculty Manager Krebs is the heaviest
one undertaken by the local school since the sport was adopted here. To
complete this heavy schedule quite an additional number of reserve mate­
rial is necessary. Enough spirit is being displayed by the squad that at
least two heavy teams can be developed. Among the likely candidates
are Hudson, Grba, Neil, Workman, Jones, Baker, McDermitt, Hege,
Tarman, Eberly, Martin, Arnold, Hoover, Benner and Ritz. Other men
are added as time advances. The schedule calls for the following contests:
Oct. 1— Lebanon Valley College Reserves.
Oct. 8— F. & M. Academy.
Oct. 15— A t Mercersburg (Reserves).
Oct. 22— Bloomsburg State Normal.
Oct. 29— A t F. & M. (Reserves), Lancaster.

Nov. s— West Chester Normal.
Nov. 12— A t Millersville Normal.
Nov. 19— Dickinson Reserves.
Nov. 24— Open, at home.
The Reserves have a schedule of five games listed for the present
season and will undoubtedly give a fair account of themselves by the
time the season ends in November.
Plans are being completed by Coach Sharadin for a rousing basket­
ball season. The schedule is now in the course of completion and in­
cludes the best scholastic teams in Eastern Pennsylvania. Excellent
material is available this season in the large number o f male students
enrolled. A t least a dozen new men have had successful experience on
winning prep school teams. A basketball tour may be made during the
holiday period through the western section of the State.

Dear Dr. Lehman: Your welcome Alumni letter was duly received
in April and I intended to reply ere this, but mislaid it. I noticed it a
few days ago and I thought that I ought to reply and fulfil the old
adage, “ better late than never.” I am still among the Indians, having been
a medical missionary to the N avajo Indians for twelve years and a
Government physician since last October, temporary at first but now
permanent. I am school physician at this place, the school numbers ninety
pupils, but if the buildings are completed by autumn we will likely have

the Indians is a vast one:
A s I am among the Navahors, not likely any names for prospective
pupils would do any good to send them to you. If any at any time would
be far enough advanced I will let you know.
I hope all had a good time at the fifth anniversary.
Sincerely yours,

Mrs. Swartz was a graduate of the Shippensburg High School and
the Cumberland Valley State Normal School and was a school teacher
for seven years in Fannettsburg and Shippensburg. Funeral services
were held at the home Friday afternoon at one-thirty; interment in
Spring Hill cemetery, Shippensburg.
Prof. W . F. Zumbro, State Certificate ’03, died October 7, 1921.
W e take the following from a Shippensburg paper:
P rof. W . F. Zumbro, long time educator of Franklin county, who
served as teacher in various schools of Chambersburg and also as
county superintendent, died at his home in Chambersburg, Friday after­
noon at 1 o’clock. He had been an invalid for some months past, suf­
fering from a leaking heart. He was 61 years old.
Mr. Zumbro was an active member of St. John’s Reformed Church
and in his various positions in educational work, which he made his
life work, he served with vigor and fidelity. In addition to teaching at

the Shippensburg Normal School, Mr. Zumbro served as principal of
the Mercersburg schools, principal of the Chambersburg high school and
superintendent of the Franklin county schools for three terms. Several
years ago he gave up teaching and for two years was with the collecting
department o f the E. B. Company in Waynesboro. But he came back
to his first love, and was teaching in the Chambersburg schools when
his health broke.
He is survived by his w ife and one son, Frank of Waynesboro. A
brother, Jacob, living in Waynesboro, also survives.

NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY
Normal Society has begun her work with added enthusiasm this
year. Her old members have returned eager to make this year the best
ever, and new members have come to her, bringing with them new ideas
and material for her progress,
The purpose of Normal Society is not chiefly to entertain her mem­
bers for the present, but to prepare them for a more efficient career in
future work.
The programs are planned with this aim in view. They contain both
musical and literary selections. Good music has always been one of
Normal’s most attractive features, but w e are looking forward to even
greater things along that line this year. The Glee Club has already
been organized and we are hoping that the Society Orchestra will be
ready to take an active part in a few weeks. In this connection, I might
add that the Society is very glad to have among our new members so
m a n y talented musicians. Among the literary numbers on the programs
are readings, orations, book reviews, essays, short plays and debates.
The debates are always on some vital question of the day and are an
excellent source of information. The aesthetic side of the programs
are not neglected; our dances are always welcome numbers. The solo
and group dances show that many of our members are talented along
this line. In short, our programs contain those things necessary for
literary development, educational entertainment, and future usefulness
in public service.
These are just a few interesting notes about Normal Society to
assure her alumni that she is striving onward, that she still possesses
those qualities for which she has so long been famed: loyalty, enthu­
siasm, earnestness, co-operation, and true Society spirit.
CtEO L. C onnor, ’22, Secretary.

PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY
Good old Philo is again at work with even more enthusiasm and
“ Philo pep” than it has ever had— if such a thing is possible.
W e have gone over the top in membership this year. While we are
glad for the new names we have added to our roll we welcome more
heartily the new and worthwhile talent and ideas that these new mem­
bers tiring to u

Philo has always aimed high in musical lines, but this year she is
standing for even a better type of music. The Glee Club under our
new and most efficient leader, Mr. Charles Hoerner, is proving to the
society that our standards in music are progressing and growing each
year.
.
, .
N or are we deficient along other lines. Our programs aim to bring
in educational work, such as late book reviews, essays written by our
own members, current events of universal interest, poems, readings, dis­
cussions, and many other literary items.

28

THE

NORMALI SCHOOL HERALD

But we must not omit our own paper, the “ Philo Review,” which
is always looked forward to with great enthusiasm and interest. This
paper is edited weekly by the loyal members of Philo. It contains
editorials, current events, poetry, personal and humorous happenings
occurring daily in the school— which illustrates the fact that Serious
thought and clean humor go hand in hand.
The criticism that school literary societies do not give plays of rec­
ognized worth, can no longer apply to Philo— for our aim this year is
to choose plays that are not only entertaining, but literary and standard
as well.
The society throughout aims to give its members the broad training
which is so necessary in laying a strong foundation for the life-problems
which we will be called on to meet after our short preparation here is
finished.
The new members are swinging into the Philo spirit and taking
their parts as if they, too, believe the motto " N il mortalibus ardui est.”
W e are proud to see how the old Philos welcome them and with what
enthusiasm all are co-operating to make a bigger and better Philo.
M arion D avis , ’22, Secretary.

NORMAL SOCIETY GLEE CLUB
Although our present term is not yet far advanced, we already feel
that our new members have more than filled the vacancies which were
left by the departure of the students last year.
Since the Glee Club is such an important phase of our society pro­
gram, the spirit of the Club has already led us to believe that our
standard this year is going to be raised higher than it ever was before.
K athryn D a n i n s , ’22, Secretary.

PHILO GLEE CLUB
It is an admitted fact that music is almost indespensable in all en­
tertainments, and also that music produced by the human voice is the
most popular, for it is understood by a larger number of people than
is instrumental music. Since a very large majority of music lovers in
reached through the Glee Club, it is a very valuable asset to those mem­
bers of Philo who appreciate music and also to those who are able to
produce it.
W e cannot help but feel that we are giving to Philo what every
good society demands. W e may not be giving it in a way to please every
one all the time, but we are trying to please the majority.
On Friday evening, October 7th, the visiting teacher, Miss Mayberry,
spoke very favorably of the society work and mentioned the fact that
Philo was fortunate in having a male member as conductor o f the
Glee Club. Y et let no one forget the fact that the success of the Club

THE

NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

29

does not lie in the leader alone, but in the efforts put forth by each
individual member to make each performance a success.
Although the male membership of the club is not very great, the
material as a whole is most promising and Philo may look forward to
some good musical numbers. The club and the society will be greatly
benefited by the new music, which should soon be in our hands, and the
society must be congratulated on its prompt action, in granting the re­
quest of the Club for new music.
The Club is composed o f about forty members, among whom are
some of the most talented persons of the school. For our next number
we will give a selection from the overture to “William Tell.”
C harles D. H oerner, ’22, Director.

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 for which they are
needed. It has been through the enthusiasm of the old girls that so
many new members have been taken into the Association and these, too,
have entered into the spirit o f the work.
W e consider the attendance at the Sunday evening meetings remark­
able. I am sure we do not overestimate when we say we have present
at each meeting one hundred and fifty. The programs at these meetings
are of a high type. The talks, prayers, discussions and music by the girls
are instructive. W e have a girls’ choir and, in addition, the girls who
play instruments accompany the piano and render solos.
The joint reception of the Y . M. C. A. and Y . W. C. A. was held
on Saturday evening, October 1st, in the main corridor of the adminis­
tration building. A fter passing through the receiving line everybody
went into the chapel where they took part in the entertainment of the
evening. The program was longer than usual, but not so long that it
was not enjoyed by every one present.
Then came the best things*—-the refreshments. They were fio|t
meagre!
A fter the refreshments were served, all the guests joined in singing
school songs and songs of the day. Last of all the girls and boys when
departing to their rooms, sang the old song that is never forgotton on
such an occasion, “ Good Night, Ladies.”

The Y . M. C. A. year of 1921-22 was opened by a meeting in the

and welcoming the new boys into the organization.

THE NORMAL. SCHOOL, H B R .A T .n

Our association is not only a religious organization this year, but it
is fundamentally a brotherhood, an expression and a promoter of friend­
ship among the boys here at school. It seeks to unite young men both
for fellowship and for the service of God.
A t the beginning of, the year our advisor, Professor Heiges, intro­
duced a more systematic and accurate means of transacting the business
o f the Y . M. C .A. This in itself has added much to the efficiency o f the
Association. Our Sunday evening programs have been changed and the
meetings so arranged as to give variety.
The cabinet has put out fo ld erS to inform the boys of the topics
to be discussed during the ensuing year, and also to offer helpful sug­
gestions to the new boys.
The new students have fallen into line and are ever willing to do
their part to help make the Y . M. C. A . a success.
The cabinet members feel that there is a great work ahead o f the
organization and hope through the Grace of God to accomplish much
good for His Kingdom.
“ Rejoice, O young man in thy youth,
And let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth,
And walk in the ways of thy heart,
And in the sight of thine eyes;
But know thou that of Jill these things
God will bring thee into judgment.”
A. S terling K ing , ’22, Recording Secretary.

PRESS CLUB
The first meeting of the Press Club for the year 1921-22 was held
Thursday evening, September 29. This being our first meeting Dr. Leh­
man gave us a very helpful talk and encouraged us in our work that
we may continue to make the Club the best it has ever been.
W e hope to have our Club meetings enlivened with music and literary
exercises, even more so than in the past for this not only makes the
meetings interesting but helpful as well to every member. W e also have
helpful addresses given by successful newspaper men which are appre­
ciated by the Club.
Professor Sharidan of the faculty, who is very much interested in
newspaper work, will speak at our next meeting.
Practically all the counties represented here have two or more mem­
bers in the Club. W e hope that this will aid in sending the most inter­
esting notes to the different papers.'
W e ¡invite any of our former members to come back at any time
and would be glad to publish anything which they might wish to send
to us concerning themselves or their work.

GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The Girls’ Athletic Association is full of pep and go this year. The
first citation was the party in the Gym for the new girls and the lady
members of the faculty. The heads of the various sports and the mem­
bers of the staff gave short talks boosting their respective sports. Class
spirit was aroused by different class stunts.
The G. A. A. is showing fine spirit in the number of school letters and
class numerals that are being awarded to its members. The girls outside
are enthusiastic and anxious to get enough points to join. They are in­
terested in hiking and are coming o u tS o r hockey by scores. The class
teams are being organized and in a short time our varsity team will be
well on its road to an intended victorious season. W e are looking for­
ward to some snappy games with our neighboring schools.
W e are delighted to have such persistent aid in the person of Miss
Robb.
The association has decided that one medal a year be given the girl
acquiring the highest number of points. Ex-members will be glad to
note that the usual interest in the G. A. A. continues.
The following officers have been elected for the school year 19211922: President, Grace Henry, 22; vice-president, Irene Seip, ’22; Secre­
tary, Dorothy L. Hosfield, ’22; treasurer, Sophia Curry, ’23; head of
hockey, Zelda Etter, ’24; head of basketball, Dollie King, ’22; head o f

THE NORMAL SCHOOL ORCHESTRA
A lbert L. C hilds, ’22, Vice-President
The orchestra at Normal this year deserves no little mention. A t
the present time, however, the words portraying its history are neces­
sarily few.
The organization of the orchestra was effected September 22, 1921,
when officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President,
John Neeley; vice-president, Albert L. Childs; secretary, Mary Good;
treasurer, Claire Neeley; librarian, Evelyn Ickes.
Miss Demaree, of Newport, is the director of the orchestra and under
her charge it has already made a favorable impression. Considering the
fact that the orchestra’ s public appearances date but from September
30, 1921, it seems remarkable that it is, as yet, worthy o f any commen­
dation at all. Nevertheless it is felt that the number of members is the
real attraction. No orchestra iti the history of the school can be com­
pared to the present one in size. A t this writing, there are eighteen
members and they are grouped as follows: First violins, Charles D.
Hoerner, Mary Good, Claire Neeley, Florence Davis, Miriam Aurandt
and Alice Shelhase; second violins, Mary Cross, Helen Emig, Orville

SOCK AND BASKIN CLUB
by

B ess M. B a y , Secretary

W e feel sure that our dramatic club is a worthwhile organization.
B y means of this club our members are given all necessary op­
portunity to exercise and show individual ability.
That each member feels his or her personal responsibility for the
Club’s progress is manifested by the splendid individual numbers of the
program, and by the fact that a number is never “ cut.”
The spirit o f the motto of our Club, “ Not for ourselves, but for all,”
is dominant in all its work. Thé result of this ideal is seen in the im­
provement in the type of dramatic and literary work in the Societies and
other school organizations.
The play cast for the Thanksgiving play is always chosen from the
members of the Sock and Buskin Club.
Some phase o f contemporary drama, or some dramatist and his
works form the general subject of our programs. Lately we have added
musical numbers to our programs and these have added a pleasing touch.

W ith our new president, Helen Aughinbaugh, we feel that our Day
Students’ Association is going to play a still bigger part in our lives
this year. She is already preparing to organize the work of keeping our
“ wee sma’ ” quarters neat and orderly. W e hear that our steel lockers
have arrived ; this will make us all feel more like working to keep every­
thing clean. Some day we hope for further improvement. Perhaps it is
partly this hope that brings more and more students from nearby towns
to join us. The girls realize that to be good, true, and unselfish workers
in our nation’s schools we must be pure in thought, word, and action.
This is the aim o f our association.
Helen Aughinbaugh was chosen president for the ensuing year with
Alma Crawford, vice-president, Edythe Burtsfield, secretary, and Mary
Funk, treasurer. “ Come on, girls, let’s go !”

SLAN G
by

A eise E. S cheehase

Some persons, after having studied the English language for years,
find that they are unable to comprehend fully the meaning o f some of
the statements prevalent among the general American populace. This
deplorable situation exists because of the widespread use o f slang. But,
you ask, why cannot these persons learn the meaning o f slang expres­
sions . I answer you, they have no definite meaning. For example the
two simple words, “ Oh B a b y !” have in them a meaning as broad as
the ocean— but by no means as deep. This phrase might be used in
almost any capacity. For instance, I tell my chum that an auntie of mine
has died and bequeathed me a million. “ Oh B a b y !” breathlessly ejacu­
lates my friend. I am the first to bring to her the news of the fatal
accident to a person well-known to both of us. “ Oh B aby!” she mut­
ters, her voice full o f awe and sympathy. I buy a new hat and demon­
strate it to her. “ Oh B a b y !” she sputters, delightedly. So you see
these two words may be fitting comment for many things, ranging from
a million-dollar legacy or a death, to a new hat. And again, how is one
to- know that if he asks you to whom die handsome house belongs and
you answer: “You’ve got my goat!” that you are not accusing him o f
stealing? So we may infer that slang is the medium by which poorly
educated or careless persons express themselves.
There is great discussion concerning how much stock one should
place in the use of slang. Should it be adopted by the best people and
made a part o f our language? This is asked on every side. One might
easily find a solution to this problem in a very homely illustration. I f a
mason were building a house and used a cardboard corner-stone instead
of a real stone, the structure never would stand because its foundation
would be prone to vicariousness. Nothing is lasting except that which
is definite. Does slang meet this requirement?

THE OLD PRETZEL MAN
by

E are M c E ehaney

The old man sits at the entrance o f the girls’ dormitory close by the
heating register, with a basket o f pretzels across his knees. Each hand
hanging across the basket contains a cake or pretzel, and sometimes four
or five in each hand. H e wears a dark-colored suit, a pair of well-worn
shoes, and an old felt hat. There is always an inviting look upon his
thin, pale, but cheerful-looking face, and upon his nose rests a pair of

TH E

silver spectacles which have seen many years o f service. He has ^a
slightly retreating forehead which is covered with white straggling hair,
and his face is marked with many wrinkles as a result of the worries
and toils of the past. The old man is always prompt and ready to sat­
isfy our appetites.

OUR KITCHEN
by

A n n a M. G ibson

The kitchen is one of the greatest charms of “ Home Sweet H om e”
Everything is placed for comfort. This room, which serves as kitchen,
dining-room, and living-room, is large, spacious, and cheerful. A border
of scarlet, green and yellow autumn leaves brightens the plain brown
walls. The floor is covered with a brown rag carpet, having a number
of small red, yellow, green and blue stripes which blend to make a single
stripe. Plenty of light is furnished by three windows and here we find
the geraniums, periwinkles or begonias. A large cook-stove stands near
the western wall, and, while the oven gives forth delicious odors o f cus­
tards and cake, the teakettle is singing a quaint little song like sleighbells in the distance. The big long table makes one feel that one more
chair is always welcome. Near the stove and in every pleasant nook is
a rocker or a chair. A cushion, having a log-cabin Or some other oldfashioned top, adds to the comfort of every rocker.

SLANG
by

M adai,y n B rown, ’23

I like slang because it expresses m y meaning many times when some
very stiff dictionary word would not say what I want it to at all. Slang
gives me that feeling o f perfect contentment that I imagine an old man
feels when he sits in his morris chair with his feet elevated and lights
his pipe. Many words that were at one time slang are at present author­
ized as literate. W hy then should not slang be of value, if it adds to our
language? Slang adds color, and gives a swing that we Americans
love. W e are living through an age of “pep.” . W e demand pep in our
educational, religious and social functions. Slang is the pep of our
language; therefore, give us the pep.

TEACHER PLACEMENT SERVICE
Requests are constantly coming to the office of the Placement Service
of the Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa., for teachers
specifically trained along certain lines. Many of these positions not only
offer larger fields of service but very attractive compensations.
The Placement Service is unable to suggest candidates for these
positions due to a paucity of registrants.

36

TH E

NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

W e are calling the attention o f the alumni and of the teachers of
Pennsylvania to the advantage of registering with the Placement Service. -By so doing not only shall school officials be rendered valuable
service but worthy teachers the opportunity for deserving promotion.
The Placement Service has made no effort to solicit registration of
teachers, although there were registered during the past year 3643 teachers.
In most instances these teachers desired to be in positions nearer home,
and in larger fields o f influence- Many were seeking promotion for
which their additional professional training justly entitled them.
It was largely impossible to learn o f vacancies prior to the establish­
ment o f the Placement Service, except through agencies operated for
P.rofit: E B B I I S bi ief period of operation 250 teachers have been
placed through this Bureau, representing salaries aggregating $360,000.
Jh e actual saving in fees for the teachers of Pennsylvania amounts to
$18,000; if to this is added the registration fee o f $2 required by com­
mercial agencies a total saving of $24,000 has been effected. However, this
matter need not be stressed. A greater piece o f work than this has been
accomplished. Letters of appreciation from school officials, from teachers
and secretaries o f boards o f education expressing their gratitude for the
service rendered are on file in the Placement Service.
1250 requests for teachers have been received by the Placement Service.
Great difficulty has been experienced in finding teachers specifically trained
for the positions vacant. That the Placement Service may function
most effectively it-is necessary that the registration list o f teachers be
large. Registration cards are provided by which active and prospective
teachers may register. These may be had upon application to the De­
partment of Public Instructor. A t the same time that we are asking our
readers to carry the information concerning the Placement Service to
teachers we are asking the alumni to give the widest possible publicity
to the Placement Service, thereby rendering a valuable service not only
to the teachers and schools but to the children of this commonwealth
■ Many superintendents and supervisors are fréquent visitors to the
office o f the Placement Service, and many teachers are using this office as a
meeting place with school officials desiring teachers.
The Placement Service requests that we bring to the attention -of
teachers the advantages that will come from registering with the Place­
ment Service and also of the advisability upon the list o f registrants on
file in the Placement Service.
School officials are slowly gaining confidence in the work which the
lacement Service is striving to do, namely, suggesting teachers specifi­
cally trained and properly certified for positions vacant. It will mater­
ially assist teachers if school officials and boards o f education will notify
the Placement Service o f vacancies. By calling the attention of school
officials to the service which the Placement Service stands ready to
render and explaining briefly the desire o f the Placement Service to be-
