WANTED-------A TEACHER
Probably no sign was more familiar to us in newspapers and
other advertising mediums than the above. In many eases, however,
a large number o f teachers were urgently needed by boards o f
directors and superintendents. The schools were handicapped be­
cause o f their inability to secure trained men and women fo r the
work.
‘

As a result the public has been aroused to the needs o f the
hour and legislation looking to increased salaries fo r teachers has
been introduced into the ' legislature. N;o measure has ever
received! more popular support than the bill now before the legisla­
ture requiring boards o f directors to make! a flat increase o f 25%
in the salaries o f teachers next year. The bill will undoubtedly be
passed, as it has been endorsed by all the leading educators and
business men in the state. It means that school boards that have
been paying the minium o f $45 for provisional certificates, will be
forced to pay $56.25 next year fo r the same type o f certificate.
Where the minium o f $60 has been paid to the Normal school grad­
uate, $75 must be paid. Where $100 has been paid $125 will be the
salary and so on.

|
Besides this increase, a bill is before Congress appropriating
$50,000,000 to the salaries o f the teachers in the public schools.
The significance o f these movements should be evident to every one.
Teachers will receive the highest salaries ever paid to them because
the community has realized the need o f such action. It is signif­
icant that the salaries paid1 during the war to clerks, bookkeepers
typewriters and other young men and women have already begun
to decline and thousands o f these young men and women are looking
toward teaching because o f the increased salaries that will be

definitely assured them. There is one. significant thing about teach­
ing: TEACHERS SALARIES NEVER DECREASE, THEY ALWAYS
ADVANCE STEADILY.
W!hat is the significance o f this to the teachers in the public
Schools and to those who wish to become teachers? It means that
next year, there will be ai greater number o f teachers than before.
It means that the public will require that teachers be trained for
the work thafithey expect to do. The inexperienced and poorly
equipped teacher must prepare for the work by going to training
schools where proper instruction can be given in the work o f
teaching. The public has come to recognize that the teacher must
not only know his subject,, but he must also know how to teach it
properly. Now is the time to get ready for the big opportunities
that are ahead.
The question is a personal one to every teacher and pros­
pective teacher. What dd you expect to do to prepare yourself for
the work that superintendents and boards o f directors have a
right to expect will be done? We invite your attention to the
opportunities open to students at this school during the spring
and summer sessions. Will it not pay you to prepare fo r this
work? Read carefully the next few pages in this journal and then
determine whether it will not pay you to avail yourself o f the
chances thus open to you at a minimum cost in a time when every­
thing else has advanced so greatly.

OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED STUDENTS DURING SPRING TERM
The spring term session will offer unusual opportunities to
students this year. We shall arrange the course so as to be o f the
greatest possible benefit to those who will enter for the first time,
add to those who have been with us in the past years. We recog­
nize that many teachers will not complete their, seven months
term this year in time to enter at the opening o f the spring term.
As noted below we have arranged the course so as to meet the needs
o f all those who cannot enter at the opening o f the term.
Our rates will be unusually attractive in this year o f high prices.
All students 17 or more years o f age who expect to teach will re­
ceive FREE TUITION during the spring term. To students under
17 the tuition is $1.50 per week. In spite o f the enormous increase
in the cost o f living, we have found it possible to continue the rate
o f $4.75 per week for boaiiding, furnished room, heat, light and
laundry. The only additional expense is the registration fee o f five
dollars, a special fee o f one dollar covering admission to enter­
tainments, games, etc., and the .cost o f the books. These may be.
rented or purchased. Thus the entire expense fo r the student 17
or more years o f age for the entire 13 weeks is $67.75 and the cost

and the six weeks o f the summer session. It includes Caesar, geo­

COURSE 6. Opens Monday, May 5 and continues 8 weeks with
opportunity of six weeks additional summer course. This course
is open to teachers who have completed part of the sophomore

that course. Students who have had the first part o f the sophomore
year’s work can complete the course by taking 8 weeks o f the spring
and six weeks o f the summer course.
COURSE 7. Opens Monday, May 5 and continues 8 weeks, with
opportunity o f six weeks’ additional summer course. It covers the
branches required for the professional certificate and reviews thor­

the principal as early as possible and to indicate what branches
they wish to take so that arrangements may be maide for them.
COURSE 8. Opens Monday, May 5 and continues 8 weeks, with
opportunity o f six weeks’ additional summer course. This course is
for those who expect to take the examination for state permanent
certificate. Last year we had a number o f students in this course
and found that it met a general demand. All who expect to take
this course should communicate with the principal at an early date.
COURSE 9. Opens May 19 and continues 6 weeks with opporr
tunity o f six weeks’ additional summer course. This is intended for
grafduateS' o f second and third grade high schools who wish to com­
plete some of- the branches required in a normal course. Students
may enter this course at any time but are urged to do so as soon as
they have completed the high school course.
Students writing to the principal in regard to the work are
urged to refer to the number here given when speaking o f the course
they desire to take.

THE SUMMER SESSION
The summer session will be o f special value to the students this
year. Becaue o f the late closing o f the schools1it will be impossible
for a great many teachers to enter Normal before the beginning, or
even the middle, o f May. In ordefi .to make it worth while fo r the
students to come to us, we have coordinated the work o f the summer
term with that o f the spring term, so that it will be possible- for a
student to continue the same work during the six weeks summer
session that he has been taking, during the spring term. In this way
half of the freshman year’s work may be completed or half o f the
sophomore. It will be possible, also for those who are preparing

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HKRAT/n

fo r the provisional certificate to secure a thorough course. The
same opportunity is open to those who are preparing fo r the pro
fessional or. fo r the state permanent examination.
The expenses o f the summer term will be lower than ever before
in spite o f the enormous increase in the cost o f living. An effort
will be made to have the state provide free tuition as in the regular
courses. Should this effort be unsuccessful it will be necessary fo r
the student to pay the cost o f tuition, but this will be placed at the
regular rate, $1.50 per week, or $9.00 for. the entire session o f six
weeks. No restrictions will be placed upon the number o f branches
taken during this course. In this way it will be possible fo r a stud­
ent to continue the work o f the spring term at a very low cost. To
make the work o f the summer term effective it is highly important
that students register in advance indicating the courses they wish to
take.

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
I hope this number o f THE HERALD may reach you in time
enough to make “ Happy New Year”' not seem too reminiscent o f
long forgotten greetings. From the bottom o f my heart I wish you
the happiest year in your history. We have all gone through the
perils o f the greatest war in history.
We have? all
been wrung when we read the record o f pain and suffering that
helpless women and children were called upon to endure. We thrilled
with! pride when we learned o f the brave deeds o f the boys “ over
there” and we gloried that thousands more were training in can­
tonment for the hour when they should be called to service.
Old Normal is .proud o f the record o f her boys who proved their
mettle in many a trying hour. Our hearts' are saddened that Carbaugh, Kell, Noll and Taylor have made the supreme sacrifice but
we shall cherish their memories as a priceless heritage. Now the
war is over, and the boys are coming home. We are glad to meet so
many o f the Alumni who have been in service and, as noted else­
where, we hope to have them all with us in the great big reunion
next June.
We are proud o f the splendid record o f our girls. Some o f
them crossed the sea to take their part in the Y. W. C. A. work and
hundreds more have worked with the Red Cross to relieve pain and
suffering.
We have gone through the worst epidemic in the history o f
anyone now living. School work has been more or less disorganized
everywhere. We are glad to say that the work at Normal with the
exception o f two weeks has continued uninterruptedly. Of course
the results are not all that teachers and students would desire, but

6

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

considering the eondit' ns under which we worked, they are very
satisfactory.
We are glad to report that we have a large increase in at­
tendance iduring the winter term, and it is especially gratifying to
note that the boys are coming back in large numbers. As noted
elsewhere in the Herald, we are already planning our spring term
work. The course will necessarily be crippled because o f the closing
o f the schools in so many districts. We shall arrange, however, to
begin our work at the time most convenient to the large number who
have seven months schools and whose work will end this year be­
tween May 1 and 10.' Our. summer session o f six weeks will be o f
especial value this year to the hundreds o f teachers who will be
compelled to enter school late in the spring term. The work will fit
into that done during the spring term. We hope to be able to secure
state aid for the summer term students this year. I f we are not
successful in this the tuition will be made so low that no student
will be debarred because o f it.
We are particularly anxious to build up our attendance at once
and I know that I can rely on you, my fellow Alumni, to do your ut­
most to help us regain our.before-the-war attendance, and if possible
to surpass it.
I shall1 appreciate your interest in sending me the names of
young people who are interested in taking a Normal school course.
Of still greater value will be your personal influence in having stud­
ents come to us. It is the personal word that count.s.
We have already begun to plan for next year. As you know, it
is a pleasure to us to help you secure good positions. We would
have located any number of our graduates in good positions during
the past year, but o f course, they were not available. Next year will
be the greatest year for teachers that we have ever had. Salaries
will be high. We want all of you to get in line fo r good positions
and to keep in touch with us until you are located. I should like to
appeal to all o f you to use your influence in support o f the bill in­
troduced by the State Board o f Education into the legislature increas ng the salar es o f all public school teachers 25%. This is a
move in the right direction, and we ought to give our undivided sup­
port to the measure.
You will be interested in knowing that we at last have a modern
heat ng plant installed in the administration building. The boys’
lavatory is- splend dly equipped and the gymnasium has been fur­
nished with new shower baths and an up-to-date heating plant.
Finally, it is not a bit too early to begin to plan to come back
to Commencement next June. We are go ng to have the biggest re­
union in our history and we want everyone o f you to be there. The
classes o f ’79, ’ 89, ’ 99 and ’ 09 should be making their arrangements
now The class o f ’17 will o f course be back in large numbers and we

MEETINGS OF THE COUNTY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
It was decided to dispense with meetings o f the county
alumni associations during the school year, 1918-19, This course
was deemed advisable because o f the wide prevalence o f influenza
and the consequent indefinite postponement o f many county insti­
tutes. In counties in which institutes were held it was felt better
to postpone the meetings to next.year because o f he almost pro­
hibitive rates chained at hotels and restaurants for food and service.
In many places a short business meeting o f the alumni was held
and the organization continued into next year. At that time we hope
to have meetings in all the counties now represented by our Alumni
Association.

CORRECTNESS IN SPEECH
English teachers seem to agree thati one o f the most essential
parts o f all work in teaching English is the formation o f habits o f
correct speech. Nor does this appear to be the easiest part o f the
work. Formal grammar no doubt has its place in our curriculum
and yet many a boy will gibly conjugate, “ I do, you do, he does,” and
forthwith go on his way saying “ He don’t do his work .”1 It has been
proven by many a teacher that formal grammar does not do all that
is necessary to make even the interested boy form habits o f correct­
ness in speech. I was once talking with a superintendent o f schools
who did not favor formal grammar in the high school at all. He re­
marked that the only waylto get correctness was to create a desire
for. it. I said to my self “ Excellent theory, poor practice.” Since
that time, however, I have been pondering over that suggestion, and
I believe there is more in it than I gave the superintendent credit for.
Last year the English Journal gave me inspiration to try a little
system for cultivating a desire for correctness and for helping those
who have the desire for it to secure it. This is the plan as I worked it
out and have followed it since. After a thorough class discussion o f
some o f the most flagrant errors in speech ,each member o f the
class was instructed to decide on one error o f which he was commonly
guilty. Each day for a week, or for a longer time if necessary, he
wrote and handed to me one sentence correcting that error. No one
should ever be asked to write the incorrect setence, o f course, but
always to write the correct form. I received such sentences as “ It
doesn’t make any difference,” “ I, am not going to do it,” and “ When
I had laid the carpet, I lay down to rest.” It took me no more than
five or ten minutes to read these slips each day, and those who made
errors were constantly reminded o f them so that they should form
correct habits. When interest began to lag, we spent an hour in
discussing errors which they had heard within the last twenty four
hours, always emphasizing the value o f correcting other

December 6— The Y. W. C. A. bazaar was held Friday afternoon
and evening. While the number o f articles offered was not as large
as on former occasions, plenty o f carùdy, cake and fancy work was
offered fo r sale. Everything offered found a ready purchaser. In
the evening the girls gave a “ vaudeville performance” which was well
attended. A very satisfactory sum o f money was realized from the
bazaar. As usual this will be made part o f the Eagles Mere Fund.
Miss Harris was in attendance at the Carlisle institute during
the week. She delivered two addresses.
December 7— Normal is suffering from a recurrence o f influenza
but fortunately the cases are not numerous and the attacks are mild.
The school authorities do not anticipate an epidemic and every pre­
caution is being taken to prevent the spread o f the disease. Only
seven cases exist among the student body.
December l b —Rev. Ross D. Murphy o f the Church o f the
Brethren, conducted the prayer meeting services last Wednesday
evening. He brought us a live helpful message.
Prof. Heiges delivered the address o f welcome at the reception
given by the Memorial Lutheran Church, to the new pastor, Rev.
Roy S. Bowers.
December 12— The Press Club held a short business, meeting
last Thursday evening. The secretary reported that every newsp
paper in the Normal School district was represented in the Club.
December 14— Prof. Burkholder spent the week at Maueh
Chunk, Carbon County, where he was employed as instructor o f
music at the county institute.
Messrs Levi Gilbert, ’17, Warren Cochlin, ’17, and Chester
Myers, ’18, were welcome visitors to the school. Mr. Gilbert ad­
dressed the student body on Saturday morning in chapel and gave
an interesting account o f his army experiences in the various can­
tonments. These young men have recently been mustered cut o f
army service and will probably return to' teaching.
December 15— The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. held a joint meeting
on Sunday evening. The program centered about Christmas. Miss
Stroh, Mrs. Krebs, and Dr. Lehman took part in thé service.

Members o f the Alumni, are you planning to come back to school

A FAITHFUL EMPLOYE LEAVES NORMAL
After more than forty years continuous service, Reuben Reed,
the colored janitGr known intimately to every student at Normal, has
left the school to spend his last days at the home o f his daughter,
Mrs. Sadie White at Elizabeth City N. C.
Reuben served the school well and faithfully. No employe was
ever more ¡devoted to the interests o f the school and the students
than Reuben. Though practically illiterate he had a fine mind and
his memory for names and faces was one that any one might envy.
Every male student o f the school and practically every member of
the faculty both men and women received a nickname from Reuben.
These names were really strikingly characteristic o f the person and
they usually stuck. Everybody liked him and trusted him. He was
proud o f the fact that though he had been entrusted with the keep­
ing of huddreds o f dollars not one cent had ever been lost by him.
He was, a familiar figure at the school: games and no “ rooter was
ever, more enthusiastic for Normal than he was. He could sum up
the good and' bad points o f the individual players in a surprisingly
accurate fashion. During the last! \few years,: Rouben has failed
rapidly. His memory once so accurate was no longer trustworthy.
He cbuid not recall those whom he had known for many years. He
suffered, too, very much from inflammatory rheumatism making it
impossible for him to move about. The school was anxious to se­
cure a good home for him but found it impossible to provide one in
Shippensburg. Fortunately his (daughter is able to give him the
home that he needs .and he will spend the remainder o f his days with
her.
Wé have recently learned that his memory has improved and
that be is- able to recall thé names and faces o f those whom he knew
at Normal.
Alumni, and fomer students, of the school will remember that
Reuben is particularly fond o f souvenir postals. The Herald sug­
gests to its readers that the old man whom they all knew will appre­
ciate postals, letters and little remembrances from those who knew
him Ao well years ago'. He can be reached b y . aiddressing him at
419 S. Road Street, Elizabeth City, N. C.

THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION
'' Student government has been inaugurated in this school by
unanimous consent o f the boarding girls. At the beginning o f the
term a meeting o f all the boarding girls was called and the matter
carefully presented by Miss Stroll, our preceptress, fo r our con­
sideration. At a later meeting the girls voted unanimously to adopt
the new form o f government.
'
,
A student couicil has been elected. This consists o f twelve

members. The president is Rillie McMillen; vice president, Marguer­
ite Howe; secretary, Luella Schue. The remaining members consist
o f three members o f the faculty, two members each from the senior
and junior classes, and one each from the sophomore and freshman
classes. The duties o f the council are both executive and judicial.
A constitution and by-laws were formulated by a committee o f
five members o f the league. Several new privileges have been granted
Saturday study period has been) changed from evening to morning,
and the senior and junior girls may attend the moving pictures on
Saturday afternoon. Student proctors are appointed weekly to take
charge o f the different corridors throughout the dormitory during
study periods.
The results o f the new plan have been almost unexpectedly grati­
fying. Girls who have never faced responsibility before are meeting
it now in the most satisfactory manner. The girls have pledged them­
selves to the highest standards o f honor and they feel their, individual
responsibility fo r keeping these standards inviolate. An entirely
different attitude has been manifested by the girls and sneaking habits
have been almost entirely eleminated. A splendid spirit o f co-oper.ation and helpfulness is evident. While the experiment is still in its
initial stages, we feel that the fine results more than justify its con­
tinuance. We expect the Students’ League to continue to develop all
its splendid possibilities and predict that it will very soon become an
institution o f which the school may feel justly proud.
LUELLA SCHUE, Secretary.

Y. M. C. A.
Th s year the Y. M. C. A.| is determ ned to reach the highest
ideals for which it stands. Its progress thus fa r has been, to a
certain extent, cheeked on account o f adverse conditions that have
prevailed.
In the first place we had to ¡suffer the loss o f all the officers
that were elected for. this year, except our corresponding Secretary
Rex Clugston, because they had been called to the colors during the
summer vacat on. This necess tated a re-election. The result o f the
election was as: follow s:
President— Cecil D. Mellott
Vice President— Rex Clugston
Treasurer— Floyd Hade
Corresponding Secretary— Clifton 0. Fickel
Then because o f the re-arrangement o f the heating system we
have been compelled to hold our meetings in at least six: different
rooms. This was very confusing, but at present has been overcome.
And, on account o f the time lost during the epidemic, we are forced
to say that we are just now getting on'our feet.

Rut since we have gained a foot-hold we are not going to stop.
Prof. Shearer has taken a great interest in the Y. M. C. A, this
year. He has consulted with the members o f the cabinet and they
decided to give the Y. M. C. A. room a decidedly more pleasant
appearance. The floor is being stained and varnished. The best
o f the old furniture is being overhauled and that which is being
discarded will be replaced by entirely new. A large plant occupies
the space on the window sill. A great variety o f games have been
ordered for the use o f the boys. And plans are being made to have a
reading room there fo r the boys during their vacant periods.
On December 8, Prof. Heiges called a meeting o f the cabinet and
several important questions were discussed. The topics for our
meetings will be chosen several months ahead and posted. This
will give the leaders sufficient time to prepare. We are also thinking
o f introducing a new feature into our meetings, that o f having every
six weeks a program consisting o f music alone.
So with the help o f Him, who never fails to respond when called
upon we feel sure o f having a successful year.
CLIFTON 0. FICKEL, ’ 20, Recording Secretary.

Y. W. C. A.
The Y. W. C. A. is still progressing, socially as well as relig­
iously.
.
One thing our Association has to be proud o f is the purchase
o f a $100 Liberty Bond. Now what do you suppose we wanted with"
this bond1? Do you know what we did with it? During the United
War Work Campaign we contributed our bond. That is the spirit o f
our Association this year.
Onl Friday evening, December 6, from 3 :15 to 1 0 :00 p. m., we
held our. annual bazaar. Of Course it was a very plain affair com­
pared with our former bazaars, but we had only two weeks’ pre­
paration for it. A good sum was realized from the sale o f the fancy
work. During the bazaar ice cream and cake were sold. An added
feature to the bazaar was a vaudeville performance, consisting o f the
following numbers:
1, Orful Orchestra; 2, The Coquette; 3, Tickling Scream; 4, Red
Headed Coons; 5, Harmony Twins; 6, Dance o f the Dwarfs;
7, Screeching Smiles; 8, Orful Orchestra.
The Coquette was a take off on a moving picture. A young girl
is sitting in a room reading when a suitor o f hers is announced by
the maid. The young man enters the room and presents her with
flowers. They engage in a Conversation, in the midst o f which they
are interrupted by the maid, who announces a second suitor. The
coquette, after some deliberation, agrees to receive him, but what to
do with the: first one is'the question. Suddenly an inspiration flashes-

THE

through her mind. A table is needed on which to place the flowers.
Compelling the first suitor to fall cn his knees, his hands raised to the
level o f his head, she places a large tray on them. Quickly securing
a table cover she throws it over him, thus making the appearance o f
a table. The second suitor enters just as she has accomplished the
work and he presents her with a book. While examining the book
she is again interrupted by the maid who announces a third suitor.
Again she is at a loss to know what to do, but quickly decides that a
clothes rack is needed. She forces the second suitor to stand with
his arms outstretched. She quickly places his overcoat about him
and places his hat on one o f his covered arms. She has just finished
this task when the third suitor enters and presents.'a box o f candy
to the coquette. They engage in conversation and are interrupted
once more by the maid who announces that a fourth suitor has arrived. Almost at her wits ends she compels the third suitor to sit
with his arms, outstretched and seizing a cover she places it ever
him,, so that it represents an arm chair. The fourth suitor who
likes the appearance o f the chair decides to sit in it. This capped
the climax for the chair was not strong enough to hold him and the
two suitors had a tumble, overthrowing the table and clothes rack,
inus the coquette’s scheme was brought to ruin.
“ Red Headed Coons??'■'consisted o f a cake walk and jokes given
by two people made up so to possess the qualities which the title
indicates.
The instruments used by the “ Orful Orchestra” were combs
covered with paper. The players were comically dressed and were
■as comical as their costumes.
The regular meetings o f the Y. W. C. A., have been very interest­
ing and well attended. We have had one missionary meeting. The
missionary money given to the support o f a girlspday school in
South America under the supervision o f Miss Shepard, has been
collected from the girls.
Some time ago the Association purchased cretonne out o f which
fifty hospital bags were made fo r the Red Cross.
The Thanksgiving baskets were packed by members o f the Y. W.
C. A. During the Thanksgiving season some o f the girls went in to
town and helped afflicted families.

BOYS’ ATHLETICS
Upon returning to Normal early in September the boys were
greeted by their new coach, Professor Culver. So many o f the
young men o f the school having been called into army service, it
was considered out o f the question to have foot ball because o f the
insufficient number o f men to play the game. Coach Culver, how­
ever, set to work immediately on the athletic field. He invited the
boys to take active part in such sports as running, broad jumping,
high jumping and pole vaulting. The boys responded and in a short
time things were well under way for a field day to which we were all
looking forward with much interest and expectation.
All o f a sudden the influenza epidemic dealt a knockout blow ,
to the school and we were forced to close our doors fo r an indefinite
period.
! 'i
11^
When we returned the season and weather! for out-door sports
had passed and we were forced to give up all such activities.
Naturally the interests o f the boys were now directed to indoor
sports and chiefly to basketball. Coach Culver called a meeting o f
all the boys interested in basketball. After, a short lecture he sug­
gested that the boys elect a captain as the captain-elect had not
returned. Clarence L. Grove was chosen and a practice in the
gymnasium was announced fo r the following evening. The work o f
turning the raw material into a seasoned team was vigorously
attacked by Coach Culver and Captain Grove.
On Thanksgiving Day the first game o f the season was played
in the gymnasium between the boarding students and day students
o f the school. The game was one o f supreme interest to all and
when the whistle announed that the game was over the score board
showed 15-12 in favor o f the boarding students.
Coach Culver and Captain Grove continued to drill their recruits
add the first scheduled game o f the season between Normal and
the Waynesboro Y. M. C. A. teams on December 7th reflected great
praise and credit upon our work. Our boys took the lead from the
start and never1for one moment did they lose it. The team work
which our boys exhibited was indeed beyond that which could be
expected o f any team in the first game in which they had ever played
together. It was far. superior to the team work o f our opposing team,
despite the fa c t that Captain Grove was playing under the disad­
vantage o f a broken nose. The work o f Mellinger, Grove, Angle and
Fickel can not be passed by without special mention. The final
score was 32-18. Field goals, Mellinger 7, Angle 6, Grove 5. Foul
goals, Grove 1 out o f 5.
On December. 14th, the fast team from Newville visited our
school and in a very closely contested! and exciting game were de­
feated by a score o f 22-19. The game was close throughout and was
in doubt until the final whistle. At the close o f the first half the

score stood 12-11 in favor o f the visitors but this did not discourage
our boys fo r in the second half they soon forged ahead by means o f
superior team work and more accurate shooting.
The game was hotly contested at all times and yet the best o f
feeling prevailed among the players, although it was necessary to
remove one o f the visiting players from the game because o f personal
fouls.
The Normal1team displayed better1team work than in the pre­
vious game and much credit is due to Mellinger, Grove and Craig.

points;. and in. our January meeting' we expect to take in a large
number. To join the Association a girl must have been in school
one term, and must have an average o f 75%, with not more than one
condition. She must also have a total o f 125 points in athletics.
Points are awarded according to the following list:

Mabel Ryder, Susie Shive, Mary Vanderau, Ruth Weise, Lois Atticks,
Pearl HofEeditz, Elizabeth Craig, Lilly Fogelsanger, Anna Kauffman,
Rena Krall, Alice McLean, Gladys Wolf. Ruth Weise and Mabel
Ryder have already received the school letter.
We are greatly pleased with the reports o f the hike leaders
as to the interest the girls are taking in hikes. Every week several
five-mile hikes are taken, and we have had a number o f longer ones.
An eleven mile hike to Chambersburg, ending with shopping, movies,
and a trolley ride home, was one o f the best o f these. Another was
a fifteen-mile hike to Oakville and back, on which the hungry hikers
were entertained on the Duncan farm. On Thanksgiving morning a
large group o f girls took a brisk six-mile walk, to gain an appetite,
and incidentally paid a visit to a near by school.
The hockey season ended late in November, and basketball began
in December. The response from the girls has been splendid; eightynine girls are practicing regularly twice a week, and competition for
places on the class teams is keen. The great majority o f these are
beginners this year, and the enthusiam o f all foretells success for the
season.

HOCKEY
The hockey Season o f this year was a very successful one.
Although the “ flu” appeared in our midst just at the time o f the ideal
weather for practice each team showed up exceedingly well in the
games. Some o f the girls were unable to play after having the “ flu,”
which was a factor that demanded attention in choosing the team.
The managers o f the respective classes are to be commended for

the way in which they kept their players together under the difficulties
which prevailed.
The first game o f the season was played Saturday, November
the ninth. This game like all others was well attended and much
enthusiasm and interest were shown. The “ pep” o f the senior boys
was unequaleid. They gave the team their loyal support through­
out the season. The Senior team won the championship without
being scored against. A wonderful surprise awaited the members
o f the team fo r having won such a record. The Skull and Bone
Society extended to the team an invitation to a banquet in their
honor. The boys proved themselves most excellent hosts. After
about an hour o f dancingf the waiters were summoned by the chef
and most appetizing “ eats” were served.
The teams were distinguished while on the field by their respect­
ive colors: Seffiors, blue; Juniors, yellow; Sophomores, red; Freshmen, green. Togs consisted o f hea|d-gear, sweaters and laeers around
legs. The Juniors showed their initiative in their mascot which
accompanied them to the field. The “ little dark-complexioned boy”
was dressed after1the manner o f the players.
The officials o f the games were:

NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY
In spite of the “ flu” and tired brains, due to having.school on
Saturdays,sfihe attendant spirit o f Normal has decreed that our
society should .be successful. The programs have been splendid. No
visiting teacher has criticized them adversely to any extent.
We are growing in number as well as in quality. Almost every
week we have received one or more new members. It is remarkable
how efficiently these new membersic arry out their parts, on the pro­
grams.’ Even freshmen and sophomores take charge o f special
musical numbers, current CventsJ recitations and discussions. When
these under-classmen become seniors, there is no doubt as to the
kind o f programs they1 will render. Juniors,, too, take part in any
number upon the program. In fact, .every one is giving his best to
Normal.
The bailors’ :Dance given by five girls was highly enjoyed. It
represented different activities of, a sailor’s life, such as, sighting
land, pulling the ropes, rowing, etc. The girls, with their blue middies
and white sailor hats-, made trim looking seamen. This dance was
appreciated so much because dancing, as a number on our programs,
has not been introduced until this year. We feel that it gives valuable
training as well as entertainment, now that dancing is receiving a
prominent place in the minds of educators.
MARGUERITE E. HOWE, ’19, Secretary.

NORMAL SOCIETY GLEE CLUB
Despite the fact that the “ flu” came into our midst our glee club
has: “ flu” on. Although it consists: chiefly o f new members, our
work is showing' great improvement, due to the enthusiasm o f all
members and the untiring aid o f Miss Adams, our directress. Our
work, has been o f special interest this term because selections have
been chosen conforming with the ideas o f different holidays, such as
Arbor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Peace Day.

PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY
So fa r this year, Philo has done her best to live up to her
motto, “No Excellence Without Labor,” and she has succeeded.
One thing that has1Contributed much to her success is the interest
taken in the work by her new members. With the exit o f the Class
o f ’18, Philo lost many earnest and faithful workers, but among our
new members are many who are capable o f doing just as good work.
Especially is this true in the musical work. Some excellent singers
have been added to Philo’s already long list:' Many othersj o f our
new members are skilled in instrumental music“ Philo’s reputation
for musical talent will suffer no decline this year.
Another feature o f the programs this year is the debate. It is
a rule o f the society to have a debate once every two weeks. This
feature o f the work has proved two definite fa c ts : That the girls o f
Philo are very capable debaters and that the society as a whole
takes great interest in debates, as is shown by the general debate.
For these things we may be proud, because they show not only that
our girls are preparing to fill big places; in the worMd; but also that
many o f our members are learning to speak extemporaneously. This
fact alone is o f much importance. The discussions have presented
many topics o f current interests; By this method many things worth
knowing about the lives and work o f men high in the affairs o f the
world war and the establishment o f peace, are brought to the
attention o f the students who otherwise would not be familiar with
current events. Nor is Philo lacking in other features o f a wellbalanced program. The following is a typical program given De­
cember 6th, 1918:
Regular business.
,
Music :- Cheerftffl Words— Glee, Club.
Discussion : America, Don’t be Too Generous.
Yocal Solo: Laddie in Khaki.

cations for Suffrage.
Discussion, Reasons Why We Should Feed Our Beaten FoePlay: Rubber Boots.

C. V. S. N. S. ORCHESTRA
The orchestra is doing splendid work. They have rehearsal twice
a week and with a few exceptions one-hundred per cent attendance
which shows that all members are interested.
The orchestra made its first public appearance when the patriotic
program was given. They played “ Old Glory Selection,” Southern
Melodies” and “ Triumphant March,” with which the audience seemed
well pleaseld.
The school is going to present the orchestra with a new set o f
drums in the near future and we feel sure that with this addition
the orchestra will be a success.

interesting and instructive. We are proud to say that in spite o f
the influenza epidemic not one meeting was missed.
In addition to the regular business meetings, programs are
rendered and never in the history o f the club has the attendance
been so good.
Owing to the fact that the club is composed o f members from
all parts o f the adjoining counties, a wider field o f papers is covered
than ever before.
On November 11th we had one o f the best attended meetings on
recoild when Mr. D. C. Rolar, editor o f the Shippensburg Chronicle,
gave us a most interesting talk on “ The Making o f a Newspaper,”
in which he explained the duties o f the editor, how the news is
gotten from selected co-editors and correspondents, the use o f the
linotype and its great advantage over the ordinary type, and the
working o f the press, , In addition to Mr. Rolar’s practical and

helpful talk, we were favored with a piano solo by Miss Bair and a
clarinet solo by Mr. Kough.
We are eagerly looking forwaad to January 14, when Mr.
Wolfinger, an old newspaper man, familiar with every phase o f
newspaper work, will address us. We know that he will have
something interesting to impart to us.
'
The club is making plans fo r the enlargement o f its work
during the spring term. We invite the co-operation o f all the
Alumni and would be glad to publish anything which they might
wish to send to us about themselves or their work.

OPENING OF THE WINTER TERM
The winter term opened with the new year. Though the weather
man did' his best to make the home coming o f the students a dis­
agreeable one he could not deter their coming on time. To the
credit o f the former, students it can be said that by the time the latetrains arrived at least 95% o f the students had returned. A few were
detained at home by reason o f personal illness or illness in the family.
One o f the gratifying features o f the new term was the presence of'
the largest number o f students that have ever entered at the be­
ginning o f the term. Especially!, noteworthy is the fact that 22 o f
the new students were boys. Shippensburg has always been remark­
able for the number o f young men who attend the school. This has
been especially noticeable during the last three or four years. We
naturally felt the drain in our student body when the war called so
many young men from our school. It is particularly gratifying to
note, therefore that as soon as! peace was in sight the boys began
to come back. Our advance spring term registration! indicates that
we shall have a large registration o f young people who will take ad­
vantage o f the great opportunities open to them.
The examinations were held during the second week o f the winter
term. This change was made necessary because the prevalence o f
influenza during the fall term had prevented; many o f the students;
from putting the time upon the fall term branches that they desired,
The usual number o f new classes was organized fo r the winter term.
The seniors began their work in cooking and history o f education,
A little later they will take up methods in English. The juniors began;
the study o f American literature while the sophomores and freshmen
took up a slightly reorganized course o f study.
Both faculty and students are hopeful that we may not have
any further trouble with the influenza. We are prepared to do the
best work) that we have ever done as a school and all join in the
hope that the opportunity may be given.

STUDENT COMPOSITIONS
OLD JOHN HENRY
I had a very grouchy old teacher one year in country school.
He was a tall red-haired old man, with eyes like serpents, and when
in schcol he acted like an old Revolutionary Commander. His name
being John Henry, we boys always used to say, “ Where’s old John
Henry?” One day while a class was reciting, there was a rap at
the door, I supposed that he was outside talking to the caller, so I
yelled, ||W herei|I|old John Henry?” About that time he laid his
hand on my shoulder and said, “ Will' you please go and bring in a
bucket o f coal?”
JOHN BARNER
WAR ECONOMY
Now we are in the reconstruction period following a world
wide war and the success o f it depends on the individuals
o f the warring nations: It is very necessary for us to save
anything, anywhere and anytime possible.. We must save espec­
ially those things which the army can make use of. I f it -is nec­
essary, to substitute let us be willing to, make that change and let
us do i t , cheerfully. Extravagance is an enemy to prosperity, a
mong nations as well as individuals, for. a nation is composed o f a
great number of individuals: I f we want our nation to be great
among other nations lot everybody in this nation help toward those
ends,-for unity gives strength. .
■ _
Uncle Sam is now calling for us to economize everywhere pos,r
sible. The newspapers in response, have taken an important place
in solving the problems by sending the tidings to every home in
the entire nation.' Posters are to be seen on every street corner.

Every ■church in town has done its bit by having lectures on pat­
riotism, economy and other subjects which would have a valuable
effect on the nation. Then too if every individual would know on
which side o f his bread the butter is, he himself would save and
encourage his neighbors to follow suit if fo r nothing more than in­
dividualistic ends. The old saying “ A dollar saved is a dollar
earned” has a very evident sign o f logical reasoning.
The ways to economize are numerous. One o f the most pat­
riotic methods is to save that which one can get along without and
buy War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Thus'one would be
acting fo r his personal gain and also for that o f the nation.
I f the non-essentials o f this nation were summed up on the basis
o f a year, they would show that millions o f dollars are spent for
tobacco, confectionery, pleasure going, and numerous other things
that are absolutely o f no value in a time .of war. I f this
were all put in War Saving Stamps' or Liberty Bonds it would be
a noble and a most commendable investment. Then another thing
m which Americans have been very wasteful is. the food supply. Eat
less sugar, save flour and thus-permit some o f the men employed in
those occupations to enter the serviceiiof the nation#': The -fuel that
a nation ,could save in a year’s time would be amazing. Let that
fuel saved in the American homes and shops be used fo r recon­
struction purposes. We are a great d is ta n t [from Europe and an
ocean lies between. For this reason an enormous amount o f " coal
is required to transport our boll«.;, a n d . get our foo(d
stuffs after them. It is requiring an astonishing ameunt o f cloth­
ing in clothe our army. We can, help with this problem by wearing
old clothes or wearing cotton fabrics.
Farms should raise all the
sheep possible and t hus .'furnish more wool -for our boys in camp
and over there.
The war. has probably been won by- the savings o f the people.
One could not have done anything else that would- give him- more
satisfaction than to participate in so great a cause for humanity.
At the present time you hear much about patriotic duties,
think that economy is as great a patriotic duty as there is.. Also
a person’s health and mental ability may be more vigorous if we
would eat fewer pies, cakes and desserts.
Economy has won wars and made men rich, improved health
and mental ability and accomplished! numerous other valuable things.
Extravagance is nothing but a slacker’s job, and nobody desires to
be a slacker. I firmly agree with T. R. when he said that the
sooner that spirit is awakened in our people, the better, fo r every
one except the Kaiser.

MY LAST PET DOG
In the dusk o f a winter’s evening as I was rushing homeward
from a club meeting, deep in thought, I stumbled over an obstruc­
tion in my path. I stooped down and cautiously examined the ob­
ject which proved to be a burlap bag with something m W that
seemed to have life, for it moved occasionally. I untied the strings
and somewhat nervously opened the bag.
Asmall dog jumped out I
and nearly turned me over into the snowbank in his eagerness to
kiss me. After this affectionate outburst I picked the poor fellow
up and resumed my walk
Life with a stranger, whom I had christened Jack, went
smoothly for a while, although mother, would still say, When I
was a girl, dogs atel their meals on the back porch, for Jack in­
sisted upon sitting at the table with me. But she never tried to
take him away.
.
.
Several days later, in the morning mail I received an invitation
to a party to be held that evening at the country home o f one o f
my classmateSof course I was in high spirits over the affair, and
started to get my clothes ready for the evening. Jaf
all fe y , seemingly sorrowful because I was going aw y.
evening I rushed up stairs and began dressing. I put on one slipper
and looked arounfd for the other but it was nowhere to be found.
Then 1 began a search which left my room in a terrible condition.
But my slipper was not m islaid iit had disappeared. Disappoint­
ed, I picked Jack up and went down to the sitting room where I
spent the evening teaching him to wave “ good-bye.
The next afternoon I spent a few hours in Mary Austens
flower garden. She started to tell me how different families in the
neighborhood had been missing various articles from their koines.
Hats, shoes, generally one o f a pair, handkerchiefs and collars had
suddenly disappeared, and no explanation couid be given fo r it. U be­
came somewhat uneasy about this but suggested that those articles
must have been mislaid and not stolen..
In the garden was a beautiful box wood tree with the branches
grown 'down close to the ground. In my walk among the flowers
I tripped over a board and fell under the tree. I shut my eyes and
held out my hands as I fell. When I opened my eyes again I thought
I was in a ¡department store. In my one hand I had my slipper and
in the other a wire potato masher. All around me were lying all
sorts o f miscellaneous articles : shoes, hats, handkerchiefs, flower
cans, rolls o f wall paper, anjd anything you could think of, and
just as I was separating myself from the rubbish, in came Jack with
a yellow canary cage. In less than two hours master. Jack and I
had parted company at a dog show which was being held in the town
that day.

one's Alma Mater keeping her place in the rapid march o f events and
your message tells us just what we are pleased to know. After

Bachelor o f Science, it is also my second year in the school o f

M y Dear Dr. Lehman:
This being an infantry drill period and raining cats and dogs,
gives us a little time in barracks and we are indeed grateful for the
•chance to do a little bunk fatigue or write letters as we choose.
As you see, your much appreciated letter which you sent me last
year has at last helped me to a flying school. Upon first application
I was rejected but later applied again and this time was accepted in
May, examined in August and called in October; a lot of red tape
and waiting ¡you see. We are now at the end o f the week, the fifth,
and with war over, some o f the original pep has been lost. As you
have probably read in the newspapers, candidates for commissions
may continue the course or bedischarged as they desire. A great
many have applied for discharge. I have elected to continue the
•course for it will hardly be strung out over a period o f six months
as heretofore, judging by present indications and besides it is the
training a man could get. The government wants to continue the
developement o f the air service and so it seems to be a duty to follow
up to the opportunity the government has given us.
This is a wonderful school. In the S. M. A. one finds the best
■class o f men in the army, the same standard o f men one would find
in Universities under normal conditions. With the 74th Squadron
the new curriculum took effect, which differs from the old one in that
■after the fourth week the men are classified as pilots, bombers or
observers, as they are best fitted and a more highly specialized line of
work given according to the needs o f a particular course. I am
classified as a pilot and so get a great deal o f aeroplane rigging and
Tepair, motor, trouble, shooting and repairing, machine guns, target
and trap 'Shooting, military subjects-,— now nearly completed, and
observation, and radio, now entirely finished. I. like it very much,
especially the planes and engines. You would be surprised to
know the extreme simplicity o f the motorsy compared with high
•class automobile motors; the planes are much easier to rig too than
one unaquainted would suppose, tho in both engines and planes a
very great degree o f accuracy is required.
The University o f California, o f which S. M. A. is a part, is

the most beautiful and modem I have seen. The campus is indeed
a, rare combination o f nature and landscape gardner’s art. Berkley
is a nice place and Oakland and Frisco, by reputation, thp I can’t
^say personally fo r I have been so busy that Sundays seemed better de­
voted to books than chasing around, especially while quarantine con­
ditions existed. The climate has been very delightful, tho within the
last week we’ve had prevailing cloudy weather with a good deal o f
ram.
Mrs. Brandt will finish the term in the HummelstoWn schools, her
term ending probably about the time I finish my course in military
areonanties, so we hope to be in a home o f our own within another
year. I am sure that she joins me in wishing you and
Mrs. Lehman and Paul, Peggy,— probably I should-say Miss' Margaret, by this time,— and all our friends, the best o f everything, and
the School continued success.

ELIZABETH PHILIPS, ’ 05
Died October 31, 1918.
We take the following from a Lebanon paper:
Just before midnight on Thursday death claimed Miss Elizabeth
B. Philips', daughter o f Mr. and Mrs. John Philips, o f 19 South
Second street, following an illness o f four weeks from a complication
o f diseases. Her condition had become almost alarming a week ago
and her failure to rally, notwithstanding the loving ministrations o f
members o f the family, augmenting the services o f the physician and
a trained nurse, those who watched at her bedside were prepared in

a measure for the end. Nevertheless her death is a crushing blow
to the members o f the family and a large circle o f friends who l(Ved
and esteemed her many fine qualities o f heart and mind.
For a period o f eight years Miss Philips had been employed asa teacher in the city public schools and at the time o f her death was
in charge o f the third grade school, Fairview building. She was a
valued member o f the local teaching corps and enjoyed the high es­
teem o f all her associates in the work. the .children whom she taught
all loved her.
Miss Philips was a graduate of the Lebanon high school, class
of 1903, and finished her teacher training course at Shippensburg State
Normal School from which institution she was graduated in 1905.
She was a faithful member o f the Centenary Methodist Church where
she taught a class in the Sunday school and was actively identified,
with its several organizations.
MAUDE EBY, ’94.
Died 1918.
For a number o f years Miss Eby was a leading teacher in.
Franklin county. She was compelled to give up thef work about a
year ago on account o f ill health. She labored constantly fo r the
good o f her pupil si and the cause o f education. Her home was in
Greencastle, Pa.
PRIVATE HARRY TAYLOR
Killed in action October 25, 1918.
Harry Taylor left Normal at the end of his junior year to enlist
in the army. We take the following from an Adams county paper:
\Harry M. Taylor, Centre Mills, killed in action, October 25th?)
The steadily growing list o f Adlams County heroes has this
record at its latest addition. On Wednesday, word o f Private Tay­
lor’s death was received from the War Department by his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor. The message contained only the usual
meager information.
( Harry M. Taylor enlisted at Gettysburg last summer in the band
o f the Seventh Regiment. At the time o f his death he was serving
with the Sanitary Detachment, Seventh Machine Gun Battalion. The
last letter received from him was received from him about ten days
ago and in it he said, “ When you get this I think the war will be over” '
His prophecy came true for just abou.t the same time the letter ar­
rived at its destination word came that the armistice had been signed.
Harry Taylor would have been 27 years o f age had he lived
until November 14th. He was a school teacher by profession and
taught two terms at Cottage Hill and one at Pine Grove, both in this
county. He was a student at Cumberland Valley State Normal School
before he enlisted in the army and would have been graduated there
had he not elected to enter the service. ^

GRACE FERGUSON, ’18
Died January 3, 1919.
The faculty and students o f the school were deeply grieved to
learn o f the death o f Grace Ferguson at her home in Doylesburg.
Only a short time before she had met many o f the faculty while s'he
was in attendance at the Chambersburg institute. She was' then in
the best o f health and was looking forward to a career o f usefulness
as a teacher in the public jsehools. When the news came that she
was suffering from a severe attack o f pneumonia superinduced by
influenza, her many friends were alarmed, but all hoped that she
might survive the attack. In spite o f the best that medical care
and attention could Ido, the dread disease eould not be- checked and
the end came soon.
Grace Ferguson was a splendid young woman o f the highest
type o f Christian character. She made a fine record for herself as
a student and! when she was graduated last June her friends con­
fidently predicted that she would make a record for herself as a
teacher. She accepted a position near her home and proved herself
a successful teacher in the short time that she spent in the school
room. Then she was called home to sit at the feet o f the great
Teacher. Thé sympathy o f all goes to her sister Hope, o f the class
o f ’17, and the members o f the family.
ANNA MARY SIPES ’ 21
Died December 23, 1918.
One o f the saddest deaths that we have ever been called upon
to note in THE HERALD occurred Monday evening, December 23,
when Anna Mary Sipes was struck by an automobile in McConnellsburg and almost instantly killed. She and a girl friend were cross­
ing the street when an automobile with lights extinguished struck
her causing her death as indicated. Only a few 'days before she
had left us for her Christmas vacation. She was in the best o f
spirits and looked forward to the pleaures o f the holiday season.
She entered the Sophomore class at Normal last September after
completing the course in the McConnellsburg High School. She
made a fine record in the brief time she was with us and won the
esteem o f her fellow students and the faculty. The sympathy o f all
is tendered her aged grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. John P. Sipes, with
whom she lived, and her father and mother.
EMMA M. KREIDER, ’09
Died December, 1918
We are sorry not to be able to give any details o f the death o f
Miss Kreider, but' we learn that she had been ill fo r a while with

nervous trouble. When a student with us she was one o f the most
efficient Y. W. C. A. workers and stood high in her classes. Her
influence among the girls was always fo r the best things. She
taught. successfully after leaving Normal.

Don’t be discouraged if your first experiences in teaching was
nut altogether satisfactory. The influenza interfered very much with
successful work. Don’t be discouraged and think o f dropping
teaching. Prepare, for the big opportunities that are ahead.

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

Dear old “ red and blue.”

Just beyond the town,’ -'

As the sun goes down.

We will praise her name,
Ever live to raise the standard
Of her glorious fame.
