PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
D eAr F riends :
W e have just closed school work for the holidays and Old
Main Building seems unnaturally quiet. A few hours ago the
halls were filled with eager excited students anxiously waiting
for the noon hour and surcease from recitations and school regu­
lations. And now they are .all speeding; homeward.
W e shall open our doors again on January 5 for a spurt down
the last lap of the first semester, Then will come final ex­
aminations— and the opening of the second semester oh February
1. About fifteen seniors who have completed the course will
leave us to take up positions that have opened to them. M ore
could have been graduated in January but a number preferred
to remain with their class until the big Commencement Day
in June. Every room that will be vacated has already been en­
gaged by new students who will enter with the new term.
W e have had a pleasant school year. T h e work of the stu­
dents has been unusually satisfactory and everything has moved
along smoothly. Shippensburg has been very much in the lime
light athletically for we met and defeated four of the foot ball
teams from our Sister Normals and closed the season with only
one defeat. Our basket ball season opened with two spirited
games which were won by our boys. W e have every reason to
believe that the boys will give a good account of themselves' and
the girls team will be an honor and a credit to the institution.

home coming day was one of the outstanding -events
in the history of the school. The weather was not all that could
be desired, but in spite of a heavy snow fall on the previous
day, nearly a thousand alumni were present. The banquet in'
the evening left nothing to be desired. The menu was fine and
the speeches:: by such live wires ■as W . M . Rife of Carlisle,
U. L. Go-rdy of Chambersburg and S. M . Stouffer of Hanover
rang with real Shippensburg spirit. The reception and dance
Was largely attended.
The Alumni meetings held by the Dauphin, Franklin, Adams,
.and York County Associations were unusually well attended
and the graduates and former students voiced their loyalty and
their interest in the old school. W e haven’t heard from Bedford,
Huntingdon and Perry with their large enrollments. W e do
nqt believe the Alumni in these counties.are lacking in the spirit
that characterizes those residing in other districts. ’lYe w ant. three hundred high school students in the entering
class next year. The fine response that has greeted our appeal
leads us to believe that we will not fall short of *the mark
we have set before us. Fellow Alumnus,:, are you in touch
with one or more outstanding members of the senior class in
your high .school? N ow is the time to speak to these young
people about the opportunities : open to- them at normal. An
alumnus, a business man, has registered three students for next
year, from his Nime toyvn. None of them are related to him.
H e wrote u sfT It was- my first attempt at that kind of thing,-®
it wasnt a bit hard— I enjoyed it.” Isn’t it possibliflfor all
or you to send at least one young man or woman to represent
-you here? Shippensburg must do her part to -furnish the state
with the 5000 teachers needed every year.
i T o f c nUuber ° f the H erald is devoted to the Summer Session
ot 1926. Heretofore we have waited until April before making
our announcements for this Session, but requests for catalogues for
the summer session are coming to us every day and though it
^ "ot been possible for us to send out any advertising matter
a large number of .students have already' registered. W e call
ypur attention to the opportunity to take advanced courses that
will fit in with either the three year course or the four year
course that is just in the offing. W e shall offer the usual
large number of cpursefj suited to the needs of those who will
teach-for the first time next fall, for those who wish to secure
a renewal of the partial certificate,' or to fake work needed for
the completion of the Normal School Certificate.
It is not too early to begin planning for class reunions. Last
year , we had |® number of fine reunions— and in every case the
best ones were those that had been worked up for four or five
months previously. Remember that at least fifteen classes will

T

he

N ormal School H erald

hold reunions and that the number o f hotels and restaurants
available will necessarily be limited. Th e class president who
gets his committee appointed first— and sees to it that its members
are on the job will have first choice not only o f place but of
time— always a valuable consideration during Commencement
week. W e know that the class of ’86 expects to hold a fine forty
year reunion and with J. S. M oul of Hanover on the job, there will
be one of the biggest and best forty year reunions we have ever
seen at this school. W e remember the outstanding groups in the
classes of ’91 and ’96. W e expect big things to happen when
the old boys and girls from those classes come back._ W e are
banking on ’01, ’06, ’ l l , ’ 16, ’21, and ’24 to set a stiff pace in
determining which will have the largest percentage of its mem­
bership present.
O f course the Centennial class of ’76 will be the guests of
honor when its members come back to celebrate their Golden
Anniversary.
And .finally don’t forget one thing more, the Alumni Asso­
ciation voted last year in favor of holding Class Day and Alumni
exercises on Saturday so that more of the alumni would be able to
attend. W e are glad to announce that it has been possible for
us to fall in line with this request and that matters have been
arranged So that the big day will be Saturday June 5. The
forenoon will be given over to Class Day exercises, the after­
noon to the Alumni Parade, the Alumni Meeting, the Base Ball
Game and the evening to the Alumni Play. Baccalaureate serv­
ices will be held on Sunday evening June 6 and Commence­
ment on Monday forenoon, June 7. Mark both your calendar
and your note book, now,
Then here’s wishing you the happiest and most successful
year in your history. •
Fraternally yours

SUM M ER SCHOOL
This number of the H erald is largely devoted to the work
of the Summer School which will open June 14 and close
August 14. Though it is not possible at this time to indicate
the personnel of the teaching staff, the presence of an efficient
corps of teachers is assured.
•
It is also possible that other subjects than those listed will
be offered especially if there is a demand for them. T h e list
must therefore be regarded as a minimum rather than the maxi­
mum number of courses,

In a few instances it has been necessary to indicate that a
certain course or an equivalent will be given. In 'all such cases
the course definitely chosen will be indicated in the April number
of the H erald .

REGISTRATION OF SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS
Students are registering in large numbers for the summer ses­
sion. N o rooms will be assigned before March 1, but assign­
ment will be made strictly in the order in which registrations
are received. The wishes of students as to location of rooms will
be followed as far as possible. Naturally those who register
during January and February have a much better chance of
securing the rooms desired than those will who do not register
until a later time. In any event the early registrants will be
able to secure the most pleasantly located rooms.
W here students designate the persons with whom they wish
to room they must see to it that the person in question registers
promptly. If M ary Jones registers on January 20 and indicates
that she wishes to room with Jennie Brown, she will be granted
the desired permission, but if Jennie Brown does not register
until February 1 both registrations will be entered as of that
date. For this reason be sure to have your prospective room
mate register at the same time that you do.
N o students will be permitted to room or board outside of
the dormitories except in the home of parents, grandparents,
brother or sister, uncle or aunt, unless special permission has
been granted by the Principal to room with other persons. N o
permission will be- granted to any student to board outside
the school exaept with relatives as indicated until all sittings in
the dining, room have been assigned. Students wishing to enroll
as boarding students rooming outside the building will write
to the principal indicating with whom they wish to room and
the location. The school authorities will then inspect the rooms
indicated and make financial arrangements with the persons offer­
ing the rooms for rent.
The student w ill pay the regular
rate charged boarding students rooming outside the school dor­
mitories. As previously indicated no permission to board outside
the school except in homes of relatives will be granted until all
sittings in the dining room are taken. These regulations will
be strictly enforced.
A registration blank is inserted in the H erald . A program
to be filled out and approved by the Superintendent under whom
the student expects to teach will be found on page 31. This
¡should be filled out, signed by the Superintendent and forwarded

T

he

to the school as soon as possible. Naturally however the most
important matter is the registration. This should be attended
to at once.
RURAL DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL
Miss Hannah Kieffer, Director of Rural Education will con­
duct a one-room rural demonstration school at the “ Sunny H ill
School” less than ten minutes walk from the campus. This
school is a typical one-room country school. T h e entire equip­
ment is inexpensive and is easily obtainable by any rural teacher.
The school will be in session during the first six weeks of the
summer session and frequent demonstration lessons will be given
to the students preparing for rural work. A ll such students
should arrange for frequent observation trips to the school.

W H AT THE SHIPPENSBURG NORMAL SCHOOL W ILL
OFFER THE SUMMER STUDENT
W e invite you to attend the Summer Session at our School.
W e stress the following advantages.
1. ID E A L C O N D IT IO N S .
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 a pleasing back and foreground.
Th e location insures
a pleasant breeze through the long halls and corridors at al­
most any hour of the hot days of summer. In fact our dormi­
tories with their verandas suggest a summer hotel rather than an
educational institution.
Th e Administration Building has been renovated and modern­
ized 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 lava­
tories and the renovated and enlarged dining room must be seen
to be appreciated.
2.

W ID E V A R I E T Y O F C OU RSES. As noted elsewhere
offer fifty or more courses suited to the needs of the stu­
dent who wishes: to teach next year for the first time as well
as to the one who wishes to complete the course. W e invite
the attention o f those who wish to specialize in certain fields
to the opportunities that áre open to them.

excursions to various points of interest, all contribute to the home
life o f the institution. Nine new tennis courts will give oppor­
tunity for pleasant exercise and the young men who are. interested
in more strenuous games will have opportunity to play on base­
ball teams which will be organized. A schedule of games will
be arranged for the summer session.

M O D E R A T E R A T E S . A ll students who have had ex­
perience in teaching and new students who enter with 15 or
more high school credits will receive free tuition. Th e ex­
penses are limited to the ten dollars registration fee to be paid
when a room is engaged and the cost of boarding, furnished room,

sary. A few rooms over the auditorium will be available at
$6.00 a week for board, room, laundry, etc. Books may be

TEACHING IN THE TRAINING SCHOOL
A limited number of students can be given opportunity to teach
in the Training School during the summer session. Only experi­
enced 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
opportunity to teach is desired. Demonstration lessons open to all
students will be given from time to time in the Training School.

ARRANGEM ENT OF SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM
W e are especially desirous that all students at our summer ses­
sion who expect to teach next year who have not received or who
will not receive a State Standard or a Normal School Certificate at

T

he

N ormal School H erald

19

the close of the summer session pay special attention to this an­
nouncement.
Consult the County, Borough of City Superintendent 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 31. Please do not fail to secure your Superin­
tendent’s approval of this program. Then mail it to us at once.
W e realize that in a few cases the student may desire to con­
sult Dr. J. S. Heiges, the Dean of Instruction, before settling
definitely upon ai program but in such ca9e it may be possible
to arrange matters by writing to him. After 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 M an­
agement 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. A ll 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 that w ill fit into the course that 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, that all of the
courses except those in the High School department count toward
a State Standard Certificate.
Finally remember that you must have a State Standard or a
Normal Certificate by 1927. It will be advisable for you to plan
your work so that you can complete it most economically as to
time and satisfactorily 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.” M any of the questions that rise in the
minds of students will be found answered there. W e wish how­
ever to call the attention of all students to the program found on
page 31. Please fill out this program and send to us at earliest
convenience. Use the number of the courses as indicated on pages
7-18.
A ll students- who expect to teach on a Partial Elementary Cer­
tificate should consult their superintendent at once, secure his en­
dorsement and mail the program to us promptly. Failure to attend
to this matter_may result in failure to secure the work desired.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ASKED B Y
PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
W e shall try to anticipate some of the many questions that
students, are likely to ask about the summer session.
1. “ Is it necessary for me to come to the school before June
14?” : A n il “ N o ; if you leave home on the morning of that day,
you will arrive in time. The first day will be given up to
assigning students to class. Class work will begin Tuesday morn­
ing, June 15.”
2. “ W hat articles should I bring with me?” Ans. “ Bring
window curtains (if you wish them), bureau covers, cushions,
towels, table napkins, and toilet articles. Your room is supplied
with a bed, bedding, bureau, desk, light fixtures, and wash stand.”
3. “ W ill my baggage be delivered at 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 o f each pièce of baggage.”
4. “ I am a graduate o f a four-year high school. Can I receive
enough credits to enable me to teach next year?” Ans. “ Yes,
yoù will be permitted to carry four branches from the approved list
(see pages 7-18). If you pass three of these you will receive a
partial certificate entitling you to teach next year at a minimum
salary o f $85.00 a month under the terms of the Edmonds A ct.”
5. “ W ill 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 did not teach before July 1, 1922.
However, when it is not possible for a district to secure enough
teachers having the qualification indicated above, the board may
elect a teacher without such qualification and on the request of the
county superintendent, a partial certificate will be1 issued to one
who lacks high school training, but who has taken the required
professional work at a normal school. N o student lacking high
school qualifications who has not taught in the public schools will
be permitted to take the work required for a partial certificate un­
less such privilege is recommended by the Department of Public
Instruction. This will be granted only on the written request
of the Superintendent of the district in which the student ex­
pects to teach. (A number óf counties in this normal school
district could not secure enough new teachers with adequate
high school training last year. Partial Certificates were issued
to students who did not have high school training, but who had
completed the summer course satisfactorily.)

“ Can I do any work during the summer school that will
give me high-school credits?”
Ans, ¡ ¡ ‘Yes.
Because of the
number of mature men and women who have not had highschool opportunities we shall give high-school work during the:
summer session. Those who have taught in the public, schools
may- carry two high-school subjects in addition to the work
needed for a partial certificate; those who have not taught may
carry one in addition to the required professional work.
•
7. If'C an I receive ((credit for teaching dpne during 1925-1
1926?” Ans. “ Y ou 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 toward a normal certificate for teachinggflone
after July 1, 1922.”
8. g “ W ill special courses be given during the summer session?”
Ans.
“ Yes, a 'large variety of special and advanced courses
will!’be given.” (See pages 13-16).
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 ait the office of the school immediately after arriv­
ing in town. Sign your name in 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 Monday, June 14th. Give baggage checks to him
so that your baggage can be delivered promptly.

W e clip the following from a Philadelphia paper:
Mrs. Mary E. Marshall to Get $3800 Position.
Mrs. M ary E, Marshall, professor of art, at the William
Penn H igh School, will be recommended foil the position of art
supervisor at a salary of $3800, when the Board of Education
meets next. Her present salary is $3600.

on higher schools were present and likewise favorable to the
appointment, it was assumed that this recommendation will not
be opposed.

’89. W e clip the following from a Bel A ir paper:
“ State Superintendent W ill Meet Former Pupils”
“ It has been: decided to hold the next meeting of the Bel
Air Parent-Teachers Association on Friday night January 8th
and patrons of the local school are honored that night by having
present to deliver an address, Dr. Albert S. Cook, State Supt.
of Education.”
,
.
Fresh from college Dr. Cook’s first association with educational
affairs in Maryland was when he became principal of the Bel Air
school, following his graduation from Princeton. Many of the
present members of the Parent-Teachers association as girls and
boys received their high school diplomas during Dr. Cook s stay
in Bel Air. W hile here he made many warm friends who have
watched with pleasure his steady progress in his chosen field of
endeavor. ’
Dr. Cook’s reputation as an educational authority is now
national and he is constantly called upon to address important
gatherings of school people all over the country. It is therefore
all the more pleasing to know that he still retains a warm place
in his heart for. the scene of his first Maryland school and will
talk to its patrons on January 8th.”

Though the H erald has not received an official report of the
meetings, held in Gettysburg, Chambersburg, and York, we learn
that all were well attended and that a fine spirit of loyalty char­
acterized the meetings.
Adams county led off with a fine Alumni banquet at Hotel
Gettysburg on Monday evening, January 16. President Wimbert
Neely presided and after a short address presented Dr. Lehman
who brought the greetings of the student body and spoke of plans
for the further growth and development of the school, Supt.
Raymond Shank spoke appreciatively of the service that the Shippensburg Normal had rendered Adams County. Prof. Elmer
Gruver of East Berlin was elected President and Mrs. Wimbert
Neely, Secretary. A dance followed the banquet. T h e following

25, at Ralph’s Restaurant in York, was no exception. Following
a fine meal, Prof. W . G. Fishel, the President of the Association,
presented M r. J. P. Hays, as toastmaster.
After an appropriate address in which he reviewed old times,
he called upon Hon. J. G. Glessner who spoke interestingly of
his experience as a student at Shippensburg. Messrs. J. S. M oul
and A. C. Raiwhauser also delivered brief but enthusiastic ad­
dresses. Dr. Lehman thanked the York Countians for the splen­
did loyalty that had always characterized them. He dwelt upon
the plans for the growth and development of O ld Normal. Th e
following officers were reelected: W . G. Fishel, Pres.-; S. M .
Stouffer, V. Pres.; Belle Anthony, Secy.

G IR L S’ A TH LE TIC S
The fall athletic season opened with one hundred girls out for
hockey, a splendid group with the spirit and enthusiasm of real
sportsmanship. After a few weeks of instruction .and practice
in this, the most difficult anid complicated game which the Ameri­
can girls play, the group was reduced to forty, making up first
and second Senior teams and a first Junior team. A tournament
of nine games found the first Senior team victor with six games
to its credit. This resulted in the team being entertained by the
losing team, being second with their first sundae, following the
lifting o f training rules. A number should have taken a greater
part in the season but for the lack of moral courage in abstaining
from forbidden sweets. The season as a whole, however, was a
marked success because of both the spirit and scientific execution
of the game which was displayed on the field during the tourna­
ment.
T h e fall hiking season, which has heretofore given more pleas­
ure to a larger ‘number than any other sport, was a complete
failure because of the persistent susceptibility of the week-ends
to rain. Very interesting things are being planned by which to
get double pleasure from our spring season.
Fall tennis found the courts filled every available minute even
after it became too cold to play. W e look forward to the same
thing in the spring; we also hope for a repetition of the 1925
tennis varsity, this team being fortunate enough to win all its
matches.
The cycle squad, although still functioning, is extremely small.
W e should be glad to welcome 'any who have a bicycle available.
Horseback riding, has been discontinued entirely.
W ith the beginning of indoor athletics, we found some forty
trying out for varsity basketball. Seventeen of that number now
compose the varsity squad, which is without a doubt the finest

group which has ever represented C. V. S. N , S. both in spirit
and ability. W e expect great things from them.
Those out for Junior and Senior basketball number nearly one
hundred and signs point toward a very good inter-class season.
Spring will bring base-ball, hiking and, perhaps, track. W e
hope for more favorable weather conditions for these activities.

A TH LE TIC S A T N O R M A L
Football season over, our basketball campaign has started with
a very good outlook.
r®sume
our football season is about what our Alumni
would like to see in this issue of T h e H erald . Our first two
games which were supposed to be practice games proved far from
being such— 'Dickinson Jr. Varsity and Shepherdstown College
proved stronger than the teams we had met from the same insti­
tutions last year, but fortunately we pulled through both games
with a small margin of points.
Th e Mercersburg Academy game was a very peculiar game
as far as we were concerned. W e scored our touchdown in the
first minute of play. ^Our boys through following the ball, took
advantage of a surprised team and had them backed up against
the wall from the start. W e resorted to a kicking game after
our points were scored, but it did not seem enough to hold- back
our, rival backfield.
Our Normal School games were all played in either the rain
or a sea of mud. But the old fighting spirit among the boys
brought the two hardest out o f the fire and put the score on the
right side of the ledger. Th e boys played their best football
against Indiana on November 20. This was our iast game and
we won 14-6.
Our game when scheduled with Indiana- Normal by Dr.
Heiges was not intended to be a championship game, but an EastMeet-W est game. However, ‘ through the way both schedules
worked out Indiana claimed the Championship of the W est and
We had it for the East.
Indiana presented the best team we saw on our home field
this year. Their team was a well balanced organization and
was well coached. They resorted to open play from the very
start, something our boys had not experienced; and before we

T

he

N ormal School H erald

35

knew what had happened, a touchdown had been made. A re­
covery of a fumble and a 55 yard march was our contribution
which resulted in two .touchdowns, making the score 14-6.
W e would not want to pass up this, opportunity to tell our
Alumni how grateful we are to the boys for their splendid spirit
and willingness to do their best not only on the football field but
in other school activities and in the classroom. W e will mention
the boys who leave us next year preferably and give the rest
their turn some time again.*
T o Bruce Hockersmith of Shippensburg, who has led the.
team through two seasons, goes much credit. H e has been a real
leader, a credit to the school and iai credit to himself._ Like the
rest o f the boys, we dislike to see him go, but off with the old
and on with the new covers the situation as best I know.
“ Pal” Smith, the “ back-lineman,” leaves with our students many
pleasant memories. Especially when he kicked us out of danger.
“ Pal’s” kicking was of superior type and he looks like a real player
to us. H e also is ¡at “ local youth making good” — as his home is
in Shippensburg.
T h e other Shippensburg boys are: “ D on” Ritter, Calder Geedy,
“ B ill” Barbour, who all have done splendid work for our teams.
“ Boots” Shuler has played a splendid game at center for three
years for Shippensburg and has done creditable work. “ Boots”
intends entering Penm State next fall. Boots haunts the hills
around Highspire, Pa.
“ Jim” Smith, W oodlawn, Pa., played halfback this year, a
position that he has held down for three years. Jim has done
splendid work iamd it is reported he is going to Carnegie Technical
Institute next fall.

W ith our season barely started in basketball we do not know
what to say— Although the team has won its two first games and
looks rather good we do not know what is in store for us. Our
schedule is practically the same as last year, but we hope for a
better record.
There are about twenty-five boys out for the team and two full
schedules will be run— a first and second team.
■ The last year varsity men returning are Shuler, Barbour, Jones,
and Captain Miller, while the new men who are showing up well
are Hintze, Larimer, Fenstermacher, White, and Dodd. W e
hope to make a better showing than we did last year.
