TO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
My Young Friends :
I want you to regard this as a personal letter. I know that
many o f you are hesitating what to do during the next year.
The situation is very different this season from that .o f former
years. Then, if a high school graduate wished work, it was' nec­
essary for him, or her, to look around and find a position. This
year positions are open on every ¡side. You are being solicited to
go into business, to accept positions in factories, offices and oth­
er places o f industry.
At such a time I realize that there is' a strong inclination on
the part o f many o f you to drop out o f school and enter at once
upon the active duties o f life. I understand’ and sympathize with
the desire o f every young man or woman to earn money and to
make himself independent in the world. At the same time, how­
ever, I realize that hundreds o f young people will make serious
mistakes this year in failing, to fit themselves for the larger op­
portunities that will be open to them at the close o f the war.
There are so many “ blind alley” occupations that appeal to young
people because o f the salary , attached to them. These positions
lead nowhere and atithe close o f the war when business, re­
sumes its normal condition thousands?; o f young people will find
themselves without pp|itipns. Because they fail jto qualify for
the’ larger openings, they will be unable to, secure anything but
the most menial positions. Thoughtful men and women are to­
day speaking o f this situation as the “ tragedy o f the war,”
Will this apply to you? Are you letting the opportunity, go
to continue your work in school in order to earn money now?

o

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

Have you àsked yourself the question “ How far on will I be two
or three years from now ?”
The normal school course is an ideal one fo r young people
who have had a high school education. Teaching now offers
greater opportunities than ever before. Salaries are advancing
rapidly and with federal aid assured to the well trained teacher,
there is little question that teaching will be one o f the best paid
professions in the near future. No other profession offers finer
opportunity fo r service. Will it not pay you to prepare for this
work? Elsewhere we have shown what the Shippensburg State
Normal School can offer you. We ask you to investigate for
yourselves and decide whether two or three years can be spent
better in any other institution.
We shall be glad fq hear from you and to answer any ques|tioüs about our work that you may care to ask. I am,
Sincerely yours,
EZRA LEHMAN.

WHAT THE SHIPPENSBURG STATE NORMAL SCHOOL CAN
OFFER TO YOUNG PEOPLE
The Shippensburg State Normal School (officially called thè
Cumberland Valley State Normal School) offers the following ad­
vantages to young people:
1. LOW RATES. We believe it to be our duty to keep our
rates fo r boarding, etc., as low as possible during the war times
when so many demands are made upon the student. In spite of
the enormous increase in the cost o f living we have arranged to
charge but $4.75 a week for boarding, furnished room, heat, light
and laundry. Thus the expense for the school year o f 40 weeks,
including the registration fee o f five dollars, is but $195, payable
in six installments at different times during the year.
2. SMALL CLASSES. We believe that the teacher should
be able to know personally all the students in his class'es and to
be able to call upon them vërÿ frequently. Iii no other wàÿ can
satisfactory class room work be done. The lecture method should
not be used in a normal school.
3. ATTENTION TO THE SOCIAL LIFE OF THE STUDENT.
We believe that the school should be a preparation for the
larger life into which the student must go on leaving school.
We aim to train our students to take their places in sbbibty.
Hence we give opportunity for the students to meet each other
socially under the direction o f the faculty. This policy has beeh
very successful in our school and has received the commenda­
tion o f oür gradùàtes who have been in the active work o f the

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

world for a number o f years. They write us frequently telling
us how much the social training received at school has had to do
with their success. We have found that our standard o f schol­
arship has steadily increased under the rules and regulations
that have been introduced. During the past ; four years our
school hag more than doubled Ms attendance, thus endorsing,! wè
believe, the position o f the school authoritiës in training students
fo r the actual life work that is before them.

One o f the most gratifying features' } connected with out
school work is the present attendance o f men. It has been psM
sorted in many places that young men are not attending the
normal schools. Our own réçofd is a gratifying refutation o f htis
charge. In spite o f the fact that we lost more than 3Ó men ’tí>
the armies o f the nation, we ëfarolled 144 men during the past year.
Our advance enrollment o f men is larger thàn it was at this tirfiè
last year. Men are needed in the teaching profession now as never
before and thé salaries that our male graduates are receiving in­
dicates that young men make a wise choice when they prepare
themselves for teaching.

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends :
Another commencement has come and gone. Many o f us
feared that because o f the war and the business conditions aris­
ing therefrom, the attendance at Commencement would fall very
far short o f the ordinary number o f visitors. I am gratified to
be able to say that the attendance o f Alumni reached almost 70
per cent o f that o f former years. The Alumni Procession was
held as usual and à count revealed more than 650 in line. The
classes o f ’ 88, ’ 98, ’ 08 and ’16 held Very pleasant reunions and
while there was á falling off: in the number o f men présent, all o f
the meetings Were well attended. Sévëral o f the classes sat down
to War time luficheë ahd enjoyed theniselvés thoroughly.
The Alumni meeting was very weli attended and the addresses
were all o f a very high Order. There was a note Of high serious­
ness in everything that was "said. ' The Alumni pledged their sup­
port to the Government in no uncertain manner. Especially
gratifying to the principal and thé school ahthorities was the
pledge o f the graduates to support the school during the next
year when the war is! likely to make itself felt in Our attendance.
Thé sentiment “ Send some one to represent you at normal dur­
ing the next year” was enthusiastically applauded.
As I have indicated elsewhere, the attendance during the past

4

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

year was very gratifying to us. In spite o f the fact that we lost
more than 50 students because o f the demands o f the war, our
attendance was only eleven less than the record breaking ' at­
tendance o f last year. We all recognize that next year will be
a severe test for all schools. In our own case we shall lose the
largest senior class we have had in the past ten years and one of
the largest in the history o f the school. To hold our own we
must send a man or a woman to take the place o f those who have
been graduated. We have faith in the loyalty and efficiency of
our Alumni and we believe the attendance records o f next year
will bcE atisfactory to all o f us.
We have been able to help many o f our Alumni to good posi­
tions during the past year. I f you are not yet located write to
us (We won’t object if you enclose stamps), and we shall be glad
to help you secure the best, position possible. Teachers are com­
ing to their own now and salaries commensurate with those paid
in other professions will be paid to the efficient teacher.
I trust, those o f you who were with us during Commence­
ment will enjoy reading the record o f the commencement season
in The Herald. We know that those who were unable to be pres­
ent will be gratified to learn that in spite o f war and the stress
and strain o f business conditions, the old school still flourishes
and continues its work o f preparing men and women fo r the great
work that lies ahead o f them.
With best wishes, I am,
Fraternally yours,
EZRA LEHMAN, ’ 89.

TIRA! MI MG SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
The closing exercises o f the Training School were held the
evening o f June 20 in the Training School chapel from 6 to 8
o’clock. This hour was chosen because the Seniors and Faculty
were invited to the President’s home to meet the State Board
from 8 to 10 and the Seniors were in just the right mood to en­
joy the fruit o f their year’s labor and to give the ninth grade a
happy and creditable closing o f their work.
As usual the chapel was more than full, it was packed. The
program began with music by the Normal School Orchestra. The
21 members o f the graduating grade marched in and took their
places upon the platform. The; daily flag ceremony followed.
Three boys, one the color bearer and the other two guards,, to
martial music brought in the school flag and with all the patriot­
ism o f young,soldiers put it in its place in front o f the room where
it held its position o f honor till the close o f the exercises, when it
was again removed while the audience stood at attention.

The class sang the Welcome Song and stepped to the back
o f the platform. Ralph Heiges invited Dr. Lehman to the plat­
form and in the name o f the class presented 32 Thrift Stamps,
which they had earned in various ways during the year. Dr.
Lehman graciously accepted the same fo r usé in the Training
School at some future time and in fatherly manner and words
made the pupils feel that their “ bit” was worth while and their ef­
forts to express their patriotism very commendable. The pre­
sentation o f diplomas finished this part o f the program.
The second part consisted o f a patriotic play called “ War Gar­
dens” written by Mr. Lawrence Warren, o f the Senior class. Miss
Romaine Nell rehearsed) and prepared the play assisted by Misses
Harling and McFadden, who prepared the patriotic presentation
“ Our Allies,” which was very much enjoyed by all in the audience.
The following day the members o f the ninth grade went on
their annual educational trip. Twenty boys and girls chaperoned
by Miss Harris, boarded the 8 o’clock train and went to Carlisle.
Here they visited the Indian School, saw Old Balan House and
Dickinson College grounds and buildings. At 10:45 they took the
train for Harrisburg. Uppon their arrival in the Capital City they
at once went to the Y. W. C. A. for dinner and were initiated into
the novelty o f waiting upon yourself in a restaurant.
After dinner they spent several hours in the Capitol and
and State Museum. All -were much interested and thoroughly en­
joyed the history and beauty o f their state capitol.
Paxtang Park was their next destination. Despite the rain
they did the park and the park did their pocket books, but all had
enough to enjoy an hour at the Colonial Theatrè where they saw
much that was interesting and instructive. They returned to
Shippensburg at 8:49 a tired but happy lot.
The class roll included : Samuel Angle, Shippensburg! Helen
Baker, Shippensburg Twp.; Edna Beistle, Franklin county; Eliza­
beth Booz, Meehanicsburg ;a Edwin Craig, Shippensburg Twp.;
Frank Eberle, Franklin county; Ruth Fogelsanger, Franklin coun­
ty; Hazel Gilbert, Fayetteville; Frances Griffin, Walnut Bottom;
Ralph Heiges, Shippensburg Twp.; John Horton, Shippensburg;

THE CLOSING DAYS OF 1917-1918
The school year came to an end with a rush pf mingled hard
work and pleasure.
The State Board examinations folowed so closely after those
of the faculty that1there was scarcely breathing time between the
two. After two and a half days o f testing in various subjects,
the chapel bells rang announcing that the board was ready to
make its report. There was. a rush o f students to the chapel to
learn the result. Inspector Pentz o f the Department o f Public
Instruction and the other examiners took their places on the plat­
form. Dr. Lehman, presented Inspector Pentz as the man who had
a,n interesting story to tell.
The inspector's announcement that, all' the seniors had pass­
ed was greeted with an outburst o f applause that was surpassed
a moment later when’ he announced that all the juniors had also
passed. After a few words o f good practical a dvice‘to the stu­
dents Prof. Pentz introduced the other members o f the hoard, all
o f whom spoke briefly &s 'the hour for their departure was at hand
and trains do not wait even for state boards o f examiners.
SENIOR BANQUET
The first number o f the commencement program is always a
most enjoyable one, no matter what the weather may be. Though
the skies were threatening on Saturday evening every member of
the senior class was on hand a.t the appointed hour, for prompt­
ness. isa lw a ys a virtue at the senior banquet. The faculty was
there; too, and at. least a third of the trustees sat down to the
dinner. The dining room was beautifully decorated in the class
colors, while pennants attested the fact that it was the class ,of
1918 that was holding the banquet.
The menus. on occasions o f this kind are usually rather
elaborate. But on this occasion in deference to the spirit o f the
Conservation that has played so large a part in the work of the
flehool, 'the meinr was simpler than usual. Everything was served
in the most appetizing manner and there was no waste, as war
appetites keep pace with those o f peace.
Dr. Lehman acted as toastmaster and the following toasts
were given f ^The Subjunctive Mode o f Life,'' Prof. J. S. Heiges,
“ In the next world there will no fifs’ and ‘buts’ .” * The Class of
1918,’’Kenneth Preisler. “ Men are NOT deceivers ever. One at
least is constant to ONE thing (woman) ever.” “ Camouflage,” Jo
Hays, “ There’s something to be made out o f a York County
‘Irishman’ if you catch him young enough.” “ Now,” Prof. H. M.
LeVan, “ It’s one thing to be IN the van but it’s quite another to
be THE (le) van.” “ The Trustees,” Hon. Quinn T. Mickey,

“ What. if they do tax bachelors, as my friend Robinson says,

'
...........;
Of course everybody entered into thér-spirit o f the occasion
and mingled good advice with the pleasantry that the poet s^ys
is ‘ ^lyrays relished by the best o f men.’’ At 11 o’cloçk all joined
in singing ‘ ‘Alma Mater’ ’ and the first exercise o f commencement
was ended.
The lower classmen had meantime been enjoying themselves
in thé gymnasium where dancing was the order o f the hour.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CLOSING
All o f the Sunday- School classe|i united in the closing service
on Sunday morning. The musical numbers under the direction o f
î^iss Adams were o f a high order. Prof. Heiges, who is supers
njtendent o f the Sunday School, then addressed the students
briefly on the place o f the Sunday School in their life work. Prof.
Stewart and Dr. Lehman also spoke briefly. .
BACCALAUREATE SERVICE
The weather was almost ideal fo r the baccalaureate service
and the large chapel was crowed a half hour before the services
began. Many persons came from remote parts o f Franklin and
Cumberland counties to attend this service. It may be said
without making invidious comparisons that the . service was the
most beautiful and effective ever given at normal.
The procession was led by the Principal and Dr. Omwake.
The ministry o f the town followed and occupied seats on the
rostrum. The class marched in singing the processional hymn
“Integer Vitae.”
Dr. Omwake’s friends expected a fine sermon. He gave them
what may justly be characterized as a great one. He based his
remarks on the twenty-fourth verse o f the; Seventh chapter o f
Matthew. “ Therefore whosoever heareth these' Sayings o f mine
and doeth them I will liken him unto a wise man which built bis
house upon a rock.” He showed that the great teachers pf the
world had commonly emphasized the intellectual side o f life, but
Jesus strongly emphasized the dynamic— the doing side. Tn a,
masterly manner Dr. Omwake traced the growth and development
o f Christianity, showing that at first it appealed largely to the
sensory life o f man with its ritualistic ¡service and its appeal to
the bodily sense organs. At a later time", it became intellectual
and men disputed bitterly over the meanings o f texts. Dissen­
tions arose with bitter, sect antagnoism.
Now a great change has come over the world. The cry o f
the poor and the helpless, the depraved and the outcast fias been
heard and men and women are giving their lives to rescue work

in the slums o f our great cities and are entering the mission fields
in far-off lands. This is the test that Christ gave to those who
would follow Him and the church is awaking to its great respon­
sibilities and opportunities. Religion has ceased to be an appeal
to the senses and to the intellect only. It has become dynamic,
and the ideals o f Christ are being realized as they never were be­
fore. Dr. Omwake appealed strongly to the young men and wo­
men o f the elass to mould their lives in harmony with the divine
plan.
The program o f the exercises was as follow s: Invocation,
Rev. Dr. J. L. Grimm; doxology, congregation standing; Hymn
No. 201, “ Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus;”1 reading o f scripture;
Matthew 7 : 13-29, Rev. J. B. Crawford; girls’ chorus, “ Ave
Maria,” Franz Abt, tenor obligato,' Richard Horton; prayer, Rev.
J. D. Lindsay; sermon, “ Dynamic Christianity,” George Leslii
Omwake, Pd. D., president o f Ursinus College; offertory solo, Ber­
ceuse from Jocelyn, Godard, Edna Spath; violin obligato,
Frances Oyer; concluding hymn, No. 161, “ How Firm a Founda­
tion ;” benediction, Rev. R. S. Taylor; recessional, Senior Class. ;
PROF. J. S. HEIGES’ ADDRESS TO THE GRADUATING CLASS
The Senior Class assembled at 10 o’clock Monday morning
to hear the address o f their dean, Prof. J. S. Heiges. The chapel
services were conducted by the principal, who presented Prof.
Heiges as the member o f the faculty who had been most deeply
interested in their work and who had come into closer personal
contact with them than any other teacher.
Prof. Heiges spoke o f his experience with the class and pro­
pounded a last question to them, “ What is the Source o f Power in
Your L ife?” He called attention to the fact that the secret of
power was to be found in a well defined, nobly conceived aim. He
dealt with those who are willing to live an aimless, ignoble ex­
istence characterized by no higher motive than to eat, drink and
be merry. Man is the noblest animal in creation only as he rises
superior to his appetites and passions. It is not enough that the
intellectual side o f life be cultivated. The' leaders o f men, such as
Pestalozzi, Matthew Hale and Abraham Lincoln were moved by the
strongest moral forces.
Prof. Heiges made a special appeal to the! young women who
were soon to become teaehers to help others in establishing high
ideals. He spoke o f the men and women as being divided into
four classes: the spineless; jellyfish class, the visionary impulsive
type, the opportunists and the lounging do-nothing type.
He also appealed to the elass to strengthen our national
ideals. America was in danger o f losing sight o f these but the

THE

sharp clash o f the world conflict has aroused the nation to a
recognition o f what humanity and liberty mean.
At the close o f Prof. H eige® address, , the president o f the
class, Mr. Priesler, presented Prof. Heiges with a fine dressing
ease as a token o f their appreciation o f his services by the class.
TEA IN ART ROOM
One o f the pleasing features o f .commencement week is the
art exhibit. Tea was served in the art room to visitors. Mrs.
Lehman and Miss Quigley poured.
The art exhibit was unusually good. One o f the marked
features was the poster exhibit in which the practical was blend­
ed with the artistic. The Red Cross and War Savings Stamp
posters designed by the students o f Miss Huber’s classes con­
stituted a special feature and merited the commendations they re­
ceived. The manual training department had a fine collection o f
Morris chairs, tables, bookcases, stands, etc., to display.
STUDENTS’ PUBLIC RECITAL
The instrumental and vocal musical departments joined
forces and gave a program o f more than usual merit on Monday
evening. The work o f Misses Matthews and Adams appeared to
a splendid advantage in every number from the opening chorus,
“ America’s Message,” to the last orchestral number was received
with enthusiastic applause by the large audience that filled every
seat in the main auditorium and the gallery. In a program o f
more than usual merit it would be invidious to attempt to make
distinctions as toi relative merit. This is especially true when the
various numbers represented a wide variety o f musical themes.
Among the audience were a number o f music critics who
poined in paying tribute to the excellence o f the program.
The following program was rendered: Chorus, “ America’s
M essage/' A. E. Johnston; two pianos, four hands, “ Marche Hongroise,” Kowalski, Richard Horton, Anna Hoke; vocal trio, “ The

CLASS DAY EXERCISE
Class Day is the big day o f commencement week at Normal
school. Not only are the class exercises held out o f doors but
the various class reunions are held at this time and the indispens­
able Alumni procession is a feature o f the day. Naturally the
students, their friends and the visiting Alumni were interested in
the weather conditions.
Many persons believed that because o f war conditions, the
attendance would fall off materially. Principal Lehman, how­
ever, had sent an invitation to the Alumni asking them to assemble
as usual to hold their reunions and discuss the problems growing
out o f the war. AH the classes united in conforming to his sug­
gestion that the elaborate banquets o f previous ' years be omitted
from the proceedings. On Monday evening the dormitories were
filled with visiting almuni and the Tuesday morning trains and
automobiles brought in Alumni by the hundreds. The attendance
naturally was not up to that o f previous years but it was fa r in
excess o f the number most o f the normal school faculty believed
could possibly be brought to normal this year.
At 9 :45 the class marched across the front o f the campus and
took seats upon the platform erected under the trees. After music
by the Updegrove Orchestra the exercises were opened with an
address by the president, Kenneth Preisler, o f New Bloomfield,
who welcomed the audience and then dealt with his theme, “ The
Greatest Tragedy on Earth.i|> After showing that the things that
men usually consider great tragedies are not the causes o f the
greatest suffering. Mr. Preisler showed that living only a fr a c ­
tional part o f ones life is the greatest tragedy. Life’s highest
purposes are served by living the highest fraction o f .one’s exist­
ence.
The class orator, Jo Hays, o f Etters, came next'.. His theme
was “ Two Great Allies,” and dealt with the part played by aspira­
tion and effort in the life o f the individual. Without aspiration
effort is fruitless and is the work o f the galley slave. Without
effort aspiration, fritters itself away in day dreams. In the
career o f man these manifest themselves in life and liberty. Lib­
erty without life is an abstraction; life without liberty is a con­
dition o f the galley slave. Mr. Hays closed with a ringing ap­
peal to his audience to support the cause o f the nation in its e f­
fort to secure freedom and equality fo r all mankind.
The class history was delivered by Miss Ruth Emmert, of
Hanover. Miss Emmert’s history was unusually well written and

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

11

both amused and interested her audience as it unfolded the his­
tory o f the 116 members o f her class.
The mantle oration delivered by Miss Romaine Nell, o f Mt.
Holly Springs, had for its theme “ Service.’’ Side by ||sidr. with
service are love and duty. Miss Nell’s oration was well compos­
ed and excellently delivered. She concluded by bestowing the
mantle o f her class on Miss Marguerite Howe, o f Mechanicsburg,
the representative o f the class o f 1919. Miss Howe made a filfl
ting response,
Class , wills are the usual part of every class, day program,
but Miss Lela Pettigrew, o f Everett, showed much originality in
the manner in which she disposed o f the cherished possessions o f
her class. The members o f the faculty' and the underclasses had
no reason to complain that they were forgotten by Miss Pettigrew
when the last testament o f her class was drawn.
The class song was composed by Mr. John Maclay, o f Shippensburg, who is a musician o f more than ordinary ability. The
song was o f Special merit and deserved the recognition it received.
After music by the orchestra the class marched to the model
school, where the ivy was planted, after which Chester Myers, o f
Siddonsburg, delivered the ivy oration, in which he dealt with the
signficance o f the ivy. The oration was well delivered.
ALUMNI RALLY PROGRAM
Tuesday afternoon from one to two was given over to the
Alumni meetings. The classes o f ’98 and ’ 08 held interesting ex­
ercises, the latter presented Liberty Bonds to Principal Lehman
with the request that they be used to create a fund known as “ The
1908 Scholarship Fund.” The interest o f this will be paid every
year to the student making the highest general average. The
class of ’98 appointed a committee to secure funds for a suitable
memorial to be presented to the school. Shortly after 2 o’clock
the alumni procession started with Prof. Shearer as marshal.
Every one was agreeably surprised to note the number in line. A
count revealed more than 650. While the number was not o f
course equal to that o f former years the service flag earned, in
the procession bore eloquent testimony o f the loyalty of the sons
o f the old! school. One hundred and ten; stars explained the ab­
sence o f many o f the young men. These were not forgotten, for
the program rendered at the alumni rally touched upon the war
and the men in service at every point.
The class o f 1888 occupied seats on the platform with the
speakers." Prof. W. K. Rhodes, ’ 98, o f Bucknell University, pre­
sided and made a thoughtful earnest address. He spoke o f the
moulding force o f the normal school in shaping the liveSjof more
than 2,700 young men and women who have been graduated and

Fellow Alumni,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Once more it is my privilege to welcome you to the old school.
Since we last assembled the seasons with their burden o f heat and
cold, o f leafy branch and o f bare barren bough, have checked off
another year. How quickly the year has passed with its message
o f joy and sorrow! To those o f us who have been able to Count
our twenty and thirty reunions, a year has ceased to mean much—
So swiftly does time fly.
But the past year has been unlike other years in the long
procession; fo r during it the flower o f our young manhood
has gone forth to take a place in the battle line o f democracy.
Today our service flag numbers more than 100 stars and we real­
ize that these our brothers are wearing the khaki, the badge o f
loyal service in cantonment, in aviation field, in hospital unit or
in the trenches “ over there.” We miss these splendid men from
our ranks today, but we know that they are thinking o f their Al­
ma Mater and their brothers and sisters assembled here today.
Our best wishes go out to them wherever they may be and we greet
them, “ Hail brothers, may health and happiness be yours! May
the God o f battles protect and defend you! May he preserve you
and keep you and in due time restore you, honored and blest, to
us again!”
To us who remain here, the year has brought new problems.
A school like this, dedicated to the service o f the state would be
false to its ideals if it did not recognize the truth that Lowell
sang more than fifty years ago.
“New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouth:
They must upward still and onward
Who would keep abreast the Truth.”
The normal school originally existed as a place to which
young men and women came to be trained fo r teaching. It was
glad to welcome those who were interested in the work it aimed to
do, but it was not interested in problems outside its limited field.
The school still exists fo r that purpose— but a normal school must
do more than that if it is to deserve its name— a school o f norms
or ideals. It must be a great central clearing house, a big com­
munity center.
To it Superintendents, Principals, and Teachers should come
for consultation on their problems; its doors should be thrown
open to the people o f the district, fo r meetings on various topics.
From it as a center should go out a trained body o f workers ready
to help in every movement for the advancement o f the state or

national interests. Its faculty should speak with i conviction pn
the great questions before the people. I am glad to'report that
during the past year the faculty and principal delivered more than
300 addresses on educational matters and Liberty Loan, Y. M. C,
A. and Red Cross drives.
The school has begun extension work and correspondence*
work thus preparing for still larger possibilities o f usefulness.
This institution has stood and will stand unfalteringly for
the continuance o f the great struggle in which we are engaged un­
til autocracy is'crushed. It bade adieu to its song’ with smil­
ing face when the call came to them to go to service. It has? Atood
just as strongly for the continuation o f the boys and young men
in school until the government called them intp service. Presi­
dent Wilson and Commissioner o f Education Claxton have urged
that young men and women remain in school until the call came
to them. There can be no doubt as to the wisdom o f such a
course. We must train a boy in i he schools for every man that we
send into the service. I f we fail here we shall suffer for our short
sightedness when the war is; ended and the demand for trained
men and women cannot be met.
Fellow Alumni: We may rejoice at the splendid record our
school has made during the past year, a year when many institu­
tions have been seriously crippled by the inroads o f war. Last
year was our banner year. The old School broke all records in
attendance. This year in spite o f the fact that 32 men were given
to the armies' o f the nation, and that not fewer than 20 women
were lost. to us because their services were required to take the
places o f the men who had gone to war. In spite o f these condi­
tions our attendance in the regular classes o f the school is 532,
only 11 behind the record breaking attendance pf last year. Our
slight loss was in the fall and winter terms,, fo r during the spring
term just closing our increase was the greatest in our history.
We hear the complaint raised in many quarters that young men
are not attending the normal schools. As an answer we point to
144 young men enrolled in our school during the past year— 30 per
c.ent o f our entire enrollment.
My friends there may be a note o f pride in these statements,
but let me assure you who know me best that there iSjjno sense of
personal pride in it. I know too well the secret o f our success:
it is your loyalty, your personal interest in your Alma Mater that
has made this condition possible. A splendid'board o f trustees
working earnestly, giving, time and energy to the problems 'o f the
school— a loyal faculty whose service isi bounded only by physical
limitations— an earnest student body advancing the interest o f the
school on every possible occasion— these I say tell the story o f
our prosperity.
When all our Alumni are working faithfully fo r the interests

14

o f the school, it is invidious to make comparisons. But let us give
honor to whom honor is due. Our Adams county Alumni led by
one o f old normal’s most loyal sons, Superintendent Roth, sent us
79 students reaching the highest number ever sent by that county.
Franklin county comes next in the honor record with Superintend­
ent Smith, another loyal alumnus in command, equalling her rec­
ord o f attendance. When an alumnus in private life sends us more
than . a dozen. students in a year he deserves public recognition.
I take pleasure in according that honor to H. B. Hege, o f the class
o f ’ 96, whose work for the school is attested by the enrollment
from Mercersburg. Not all the superintendents whole counties
are represented here in goodly numbers are members o f our body,
but I take special pleasure in attesting our debt o f gratitude to
the superintendents o f Cumberland, Perry, Dauphin and Juniata
for their interest in our school. Little Fulton is loyal as ever, and
York, Bedford and even Lehigh sent uS a fine body o f students, *
While wef take pride in the past, we recognize that next year
we shall be called upon to face conditions that will put us to the
supreme test.
My Fellow Alumni: I appeal to you for your aid in maintain­
ing, the attendance o f the school next year. We aré .'“ pciug out
one o f the largest classes in our history. We must secure 116
men and women to take their places.. I ask you to make your­
selves personally responsible for the attendance . Of one young
man o f woman from your neighborhood. Won’t you speak the
personal word that means so much? You realize what the old
school has meant to you. Won’t you pass on that good to some
one else? Let us meet the next year with its trying perplexing
problems by determining that we will personally do all that can be
done to keep the. class rooms and the dormitories filled with young
men and women who will be an honor to the state and the school.
I believe in all confidence that as you have responded in the past
year you will respond now.

o f trustees, followed with an earnest address in which he paid a
high tribute to the management o f the school. He spoke o f the
rapid growth and' prosperity that had attended the institution and
urged the alumni to personal effort in behalf of their Alma MaterHe closed by an appeal to the Alumni to make ény sacrifice

every member o f the alumni in maintaining the present attend­
ance o f the school was reeeived with enthusiastic approval.
The last address- o f the meeting was delivered by Gilbert H.
Quiekel, '16, o f York. The speaker joined with those who had pre­
ceded him in pledging the younger members o f the alumni to con­
certed effort to increase/still further the usefulness o f the school.
The business meeting followed. The executive committee
recommended the election o f the following officers: Prof. C. E.
Detwiler, '99, o f Steelton, president; Prof. Emory J. Middour, '99,
o f Washington, D. C., vice president; Miss Ida B. Quigley, ’77,
o f Shippensburg, secretary, and Hon. Q. T. Mickey, ’ 83, Shippensburg, treasurer. The meeting then adjourned.
The baseball game on Eckels Field between the Alumni and
the normal team resulted in a victory for the former by a; score o f
6-3. Mellinger and Welsh filed the box for the Alumni and Taylor
for the school.
The step singing and concert was an unusually good number
on the program. Miss Adams’ chorus pleased all who were fo r­
tunate enough to hear it by the rendering o f the folk and patriotic
songs.
The largest paid audience that ever assembled in the normal
school chapel witnessed the performance o f the alumni play
“Nathan Hale,” by Clyde Fitch, on Tuesday evening. Many per­
sons were unable to obtain seats. Those;who were .fortunate
enough to be present witnesed an excellent rendering o f the cele­
brated historical play. Mr. Bolan as Nathan Hale and Miss
Romaine Nell as Alice Adams were both strong characters. May­
nard Gillaugh as Lieut.-Col. Knowlton, Mary Swartz as the Widow
Chichester, Charles Brophy as Guy Fitzroy, Marguerite Flesehutz
as Mrs. Knowlton, and Nelie Bowman as Angelica Knowlton, could
scarcely be improved upon in their interpretation o f their parts.

COMMENCEMENT
A very large audience crowded the chapel for Wednesday
morning. The large graduating class, 116 in number, occupied
seats on the rostrum. The one absentee was Paul Kegerreis, o f
Fannettsburg, who is in France with the Expeditionary Army.
Rev. Ross D. Murphy, o f the Church o f the Brethren, delivered the
invocation. This was followed by a vocal trio, Pan Pipes Sere­
nade, in which Edna Spath, Florence Jacobs and Edith Bistline
took part. The honor oration, “ The Cure for Tuburcular Educa­
tion,” was delivered in fine style by Lawrence Warren, o f Shippensburg. Mr. Warren decried the growing tendency to em­
phasize vocational education at the expense o f the really cultural
and made a strong plea for Latin as a language necessary to a
good education. The first honor reading, “ Ned’s Pancake Gal,”
was given by Miss E. Mildred Cook, o f Wiconisco. Miss Cook
gave a fine interpretation o f the longings and desires o f the coun­
try boy in Uncle Sam’s Army in France. M iss, Dorothy A- E.
Feeser, o f Chester, third honor student, had a thoughtful essay on
“ Woman’s Work in the War,” in which she showed the place that
woman has now taken in the various nations o f the world.
Dr. Lehman chose for the subject o f his commencement ad­

Members o f The Class o f 1918:
It has been my privilege to speak to the graduating classes
during the past five years on topics that I deemed important. Last
year when the great war was throwing its shadow across our
path, when men were waiting the call to service, I dealt with the
place o f the teacher in the great conflict.
A year ago many o f us hoped that the conflict would be o f
short duration and that our nation might be spared the horrors
o f a prolonged war. Today we realize that we must bear the
brunt o f the great conflict for the maintenance o f those ideals of
liberty and democracy for which our fathers fought, and bled and

repay, and England, France and Italy have forever made liberty

wall and declaring that the Hun shall not pass. We would not
detract from the unfading glory that belongs to our allies when
we say that our nation has now become the central figure in the
tita'ntic struggle. We must step into the breach and win the
war or democracy will be but a memory o f happier days in the
era o f autocratic mediaevalism.
A year ago we believed we were called to wage war because
Germany had forbidden us the freedom o f the ¿s eas, had ruled that
only a few ships might sail through narrow lanes, to designated
porté. We were flouted, humiliated and scorned. It- was : our
duty to assert our rights'— even to war against an arrogant foe.
Today, how trivial, how insignificant seem even these a f­
fronts to our pride— in the presence o f the real issue— as we have
now come to understand it! The issue is . democracy against
autocracy. It is the “ inevitable conflict” o f which Seward spoke!
it is “ the house divided against itself” that Lincoln recognized. As a people we were deaf to the teachings o f history, we
were blind to the vision that was unfolding itself. We should
have recognized that with distance annihilated by the modern
ocean vessel; with aeroplane and submarine, the ocean was made
the debatable ground for nations— the “ no man’s land” o f the
world. Our globe had become too small for two , contradictory
principles o f government. The world could not endure half^autoeratie and half free. It must be wholly one or the. other. .
Germany teaching the divine right o f kings and emperors to
rule the world, believing in the doctrine o f the. super-man—rthe
right o f the strong to rule the weak; teaching that all moral codes
must be bent to the maintenance o f the state— was certain to
clash with a nation that believes in the right» o f the individual,
that power is only delegated for a brief season to those whom-we
select as our leaders— that diplomacy must be open and above
board and secret treaties and agreements made impossible.
That irrepressible conflict shakes the world as these tvyo
principles personified in their leaders, Germany and the United
States, are grappling in deadly combat. There can be no •’onipromise— no peace worthy the name until one o f these triumphs.
President Wilson’s declaration that we are ready to give the last
man to secure the success o f the principles for which we stand
struck an answering chord in every patriotic American heart.My friends, I have for years voiced my opposition to war and
my devotion to the principles o f peaeeon every possible occasion.
I hate war as strongly today as I ever did, but I realize that if
we’ are to have peace it must be by crushing a nation that glorifies
war and counts ¡ strife and conquest a means o f national
greatness. The way to make war impossible is. to ¡¡Irush.... the
cause o f war— to destroy autocracy. When this is accomplished

we may properly use all our forces for the maintenance o f in­
ternational peace.
We are at war! We scan the pages o f the daily press' with
growing anxiety lest one whom we love should be found to have
paid the supreme sacrifice, or to be seriously wounded, or made a
prisoner in some far off prison camp.
We are making sacrifices o f money and time, and effort.
We have given and we shall continue to give as the call comes to
us from the Government, the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and other
organized forms o f relief.
When the war began our great commercial establishments put
the sign “ Business as Usual|| to the front. But all this has
changed as the conflict has deepened. We are dropping the un­
essentials more and more out o f our lives. , We must be efficient
in this, hour o f trial and we will, from the oldest to1 the youngest,
divest our lives o f everything that interferes with our spiritual
mental and physical growth.
The Converse o f this obligation is just as vitally true: We
must hold fast to everything that makes for our efficiency. W e
must have rest and recreation now as never before if we are to
be fit in the hour o f ‘ trial. Every home and community agency
that makes for better and cleaner living must be maintained. The
church and all its agencies must not be allowed to suffer neglect
in a time when our spiritual life needs quickening as it does now.
The Civic Clubs o f our towns and cities must not be crippled.
Our civic life must be on a higher plane than ever before if we
would “ keep the home fires burning.”
So my friends I appeal to you not to neglect the agencies that
are so necessary to our spiritual and civic life. Other agencies
call for your aid and support but do not negelect those that are
basic to the best that is in us.
President Wilson in one o f his great speeches has referred
to the schools o f America as “ the second line o f defense” and the
term is happily chosen. The second line o f defense that stretches
bapk o f the firing line is the line that supports the first line. I f
the first line should fail the,second line stands as a barrier against
defeat.
We must maintain this second line of defense, fo r there has
never been a time when educated men and women wore needed as
the now are. The public 'school system o f the nation has- been
called upon to bear a greater part in the great world war than any
other civic agency. When conservation o f food was made neces­
sary, Food Administrator Hoover realized that while newspaper,,
pulpit and posters were doing their part in the campaign, the
mass ;bf our population was lethargic and indifferent to its im­
portance; Then the public schools tobk up the campaign and

children repeated in every home the stories: o f the starving Bel­
gian children. They carried the messages o f the President to the
mothers in every household and a nation woke jio the need's o f our
allies. The schools swung into line for the Red Cross and the
War Savings - Stamps campaign. The service rendered by the
schools and by the teachers was o f incalculable value. Gradual­
ly we have come to recognize that education is not a local matter,
but that it is properly a matter for Federal control and supervision. As a natural consequence a bill appropriating $200,000,000
for the support o f the schools is before Congress and the appeal.
has gone forth from the Department o f Education endorsed by
President Wilson urging that the, schools be kept to their highest
efficiency during the war and that young men continue, inJ’|chbol
and college until the call to service comes. We must not shorten
our terms, reduce taxes or këep the boys and girls out o f school
fo r any reason short o f absolute necessity. We .shall need edu­
cated men and women after the war to meet the ;ehanged||onditions that will confront us. For every young man or woman
drawn out o f the high School, normal school, or college by the
necessities o f war, we must see to it that another boy or. girl is
kept in school to take the place o f the absent ones. I f our na­
tion is to profit by the mistakes o f other nations, it will not al­
low its educational equipment to deteriorate. On the contrary, if
we would give our boys and girls a chance to hold their fit place
in the world we must raise our schools to the highest possible efficiency. The nation’s place in the world, even our community life
twenty years hence is being determined by what the .Schools are
doing now. Thirty years ago the liquor interests dominated the
politics o f states, controlled governors and elected senators and
representatives. They laughed at all efforts to legislate the traf­
fic out o f existence, or even to regulate it. But they were not
unwilling to allow a law to be passed requiring the teaching in
the public Schools’ o f hygiene and the effects o f narcotics. What,
could a teacher do anyhow? As one o f the leaders o f the liquor
interests remarked, “ Let the women have the law if they want
it; it will keep them quiet for a time.” )
That was 30 years ago. Today the seed Sown in the schools
is bearing fruit and the young men familiar with the evils o f drink
will wipe the traffic from our land and write a prohibitory law into
our national Constitution.
Germany today is the result o f forty years o fb c h o o l t r a i l *
ing that emphasized the divine right o f kings. She chose her
ablest men to teach her pernicious doctrines to her youth. Shall
we be less alert? Let us call our strongest and our best men in­
to the service o f the nation’s schools so that the principles o f
democracy may be properly taught. W e must demand special

training for our teachers. Shall we refuse to trust the care o f a
sick cow or horse to an untrained man, but allow the minds and
hearts o f our boys and girls to be moulded by a man or woman
who has no special training for the great work he undertakes to
do? Shall we allow the efficient, successful teacher to leave our
town or township and go to some other place or into some other
work because we refuse to pay what other places »or other lines of
effort are willing to pay. Let us maintain the second line o f de­
fense in our own neighborhoods.
My young friends o f the graduating class, you are called to
take your places with that splendid body o f men and women in
school and college who hold the second line o f defense. The sol­
dier o f the front line is trained through months o f active drill in
the cantonment for the hour o f service. His body is trained to
meet the severe strain o f the trench or the long march; he is
familiar with the weapons that he must use in the combat. You,
too, have been trained for the work that you must do. I rejoice
that ycu have had physical training in advance o f that given to
others and that you are fitted to look after the physical well be­
ing o f the boys and girls who will be committed to your care.
You have been taught to meet the needs o f the hour by your
training in the methods that must be employed if the work o f the
school room is to be successful.
You go forth fit for your work. I recognize, however, that
no matter how good the training given in the school may be, it
cannot insure your successj|as teachers. Your ability to apply
what you have learned, to meet new situations, your self control,
your tact, above all your personality— will enter into the account
and make for success or failure.
I believe you are men and women o f high moral character. I f
I believed aught else o f you I should have been guilty o f a crime
against the state when I placed my name upon your diplomas.
You will make mistakes, o f course, but you must learn not to re­
peat the error. You will meet with trials and discouragements—
they are the tests o f your metal. You may perchance go into
communities where life is dull and sordid. Hail such conditions
as your opportunity to wake the slumbering moral and mental life
to better and higher things. Your best efforts may be unappre­
ciated— you may be misunderstood. Do not falter; no good deed,
no noble thought, is ever permanently lost.
You step into the ranks at a most fortunate time. Your serv­
ices will be sought in many places. The teacher is at last com­
ing to his own and you can secure positions at a fairer remunera­
tion for your services than has been heretofore possible. I re­
joice with you that such an opportunity is yours. But I counsel
you to place opportunity for service above everything else— above

THE

salary above material comfort. I need not say to you that I
shall plead in season and out o f season the claims o f the teacher
to adequate recompense, and I rejoice that every indication points
to a financial recognition o f the work o f the teacher that ¡fshall
give it the dignity that rightly belongs to it. But your chief duty
is to find the place that will enable you to best serve others. This
then is my final plea to you. Find yourselves by giving yourselves
where you can best serve humanity.
You are about to leave us— a splendid company—r-one o f the
largest classes ever graduated from this institution. You carry
with you the best wishes o f your teachers. They will rejoice to
learn o f your success, and they will feel a thrill o f pleasure when
they know that you have been faithful to the ideals they strove to
set before you. But you will carry more than good wishes— you
carry the old school with you, part and parcel o f it. All that it is,
all that it aims to be, is woven into the. web and woof o f your being.
For good or ill all that we, your teachers, are,— our characters, our
very livesy are henceforth to be reflected in you. God grant that
as the years pass and the fires o f life separate the gold from the
dross you may be able to say for Us that that which we gave you
was not wood and hay and stubble, but rock upon which a life
could be built.
Wherever you go, you erect the altar o f the old school. As
the years pass you will think longingly and lovingly upon all that
your teachers have done fo r you. We shall think in like manner
o f you. And so when the shadows lengthen and the sun sinks be­
low the horizon and we go from out the “ bourne o f time and plaee”
may we all meet again in that city that lieth foursquare where,
there shall be no night and they need no candle neither light o f
the sun, fo r the Lord God giveth them light.”
The; commencement, chorus, “ Come Where the Fields are
Beaming,” was Sung by a large dags under Miss Adams’ direction.
Dr. Lehman then conferred the certificate of; graduation in
the four-year course upon 116 students. He made special men-:
tion o f the work o f Paul Kegerreis, who was awarded the diploma
o f the school though he is absent in France.

REUNION OF THE CLASS OF ’88
Nine members o f the class o f ’88, including Miss Horton, who
lives at the normal, returned fo r i1 .
ty year reunion.
Most o f us arrived on 3 ' - :
Lg and were the guests
o f honor at the normal. On xuesuay we met informally in Miss
Horton’s room and talked over old.,times. On Tuesday afternoon
we occupied a place on the platform at the Alumni meeting and
were represented on the program by a short talk given by Mrs.
Alice Hatton Barnhill. At 4:30 we held a banquet in Shippensburg in the parlor o f Mr. J. K. Etter, who was the caterer. Here
we enjoyed the many good things set us before us by Mr. Etter
and after satisfying the inner man (or woman rather, for none o f
our men o f the class showed up) we remained there for an hour
or so and had another reunion talking over old days. We return­
ed to normal in time for the campus concert attended the play
and the Alumni dance and spent what was left o f the night at
the normal. On Wednesday morning we bade each other good­
bye and left for our several homes after deciding that we would
start a chain letter soon and that we would all be here for our
fortieth reunion. I nearly forgot to say that we had a nice let­
ter from our classmate Dr. John J. Repp, o f Philadelphia, which
we all enjoyed very much. The following members were present:

REUNION GLASS OF 1898
Twenty-five o f the ninety-eight members o f thè Class o f ’98
met in a delightful reunion on class day. In the absence Of the
class president, Jasper Alexander, Esq., o f Carlisle, Pa., Called
the meeting to order and Mr. John G. Benedict, o f Waynesboro,
was elected chairman. Miss May Miller, o f Ghambersburg, was
present to. fill her place as class secretary.
Mr. Alexander gave a most interesting historical sketch o f
the class and we learned with pleasure o f the achievements of
many o f our classmates who have travelled far upon the “ On­
ward and Upward” path to which we all aspired when we chose
our class motto. We heard with sorrow that eleven o f oùr num­
ber have answered the last roll-call and have gone forth from the
school o f life into the world o f eternity.
The chairman called fo r impromptu remarks and a number
responded with short accounts o f their activities since gradua­
tion.
Mrs. Frank Green (Emily Ayres), class musician, led us in
singing our class song and the touching words had fo r all o f us
a deeper meaning than whèn we sang them 20 years ago.
Dr. Frank Lehman, Bristol, Pa., made a brief and forceful
closing address in which he urged us to help on striving fo r the
higher things o f life— to be satisfied with nothing less than bur
best in endeavor and àccomplishémnt.
A committee consisting o f Robert E. Cline, Waynesboro,
Walter R hodes,. Lewisburg, and Martha Mark, Millersburg, was
appointed to collect funds from the class fo r a gift to thè school.
For many o f Us it was our first visit to our Alma Mater since
we left her 20 years' ago. Then our hearts were aflame with the
fires o f ambition and our minds were full o f hopes and plans for
the future. In the selfish arrogance o f youth w'e thought but lit­
tle o f what our lives should mèan to her. Now, with thè broader
vision that comes with middle age, we ask Ourselves what we have
done that is worthy o f her!
We rejoice that thè years have brought to her prosperity and
progress, evidenced by new buildings and higher standards o f
scholarship and we leave her with a new sense o f the debt o f love
we owe to her fostering'care.

TENTH YEAR REUNION CLASS OF 1908
At I o’clock on the afternoon o f Jane 25 the reunion o f the
class o f 1908 was held in the chapel: o f th.e Model School build­
ing.
After the singing o f “ America” by the class, the class presi­
dent, E. H. Schaeffer, in his opening remarks, referred briefly to
the changes that have taken place during the last ten years. The
class originally had a membership o f 93, three o f whom are now
deceased: Clayton I. Smith, April 1912; Mrs. Minnie Miller
Gamble, July, 1915, and Ervin H. Auker, January, 1917. Three
o f the boys are in the military service: Major Raymond W. Pear­
son, J. Harry Hoyert and Maurice A- Hess. More than 50 o f the
members have been married during the ten years.
The class presented the school with a $100 Liberty Bond o f
the third issue, the income o f which, supplemented by an addi­
tional fund making $5 a year shall be known as “ The 1908 Schol­
arship Prize” and shall be awarded the four-year student having
the highest general average at graduation. R oy D. Knouse made
the presentation and Dr. Lehman accepted the bond on behalf o f
the school. The meeting was rendered more enjoyable by a vocal
solo by Mrs. Rhea Holar Lawrence, who very ably sang “ The
Long, Long Trail.”
As chairman o f the committee on necrology, Alvin L- Weaver
presented suitable resolutions relative to the deceased members.
After adjournment the class joined in the Alumni Procession.
In the evening at 6 o’clock, the class assembled for a ban­
quet in the Reddig Hall. This meeting was well attended and
thoroughly enjoyed. During the evening many letters were read
from the absent member*, patriotic, songs were sung, and im­
promptu talks given. One o f the most enjoyable features o f the
evening’s program was a talk by Lieutenant John L. Good, cov­
ering his army experience o f 20 months.

RETURN OF MISS STROH TO NORMAL
The Alumni and formergstudents o f the school in general will
rejoice to learn that Miss Stroh expects to return to Normal in
the fall to take up her work in reading and public speaking. Miss
Stroh is very much interested in the teaching o f reading in the
public schools. During the next year she hopes to conduct a
series o f valuable and helpful experiments in all her classes. She
will alsollerve as preceptress o f the school.

BASEBALL
In a review o f the 1918 baseball season one cannot help feed­
ing that it has been very successful and especially so from the
fact that we had so few from whom to choose a team. The only
old men on which to build from last year were C. Myers, Grove,
and Mellinger. Taylor returned and that added another good man,
but the rest o f the team had to be made from practically green
material. The infield was very weak in places and it could not be
remedied as we had no good second team men. The team was
constantly sf;hifted in order to try to find the strongest combina­
tion. After it was running finely, Miller was seriously injured in
the Indian game and thus kept out for the remainder o f the sea­
son that again necessitated a change. Hard work and co-opera­
tion between the' members o f the team and Coach Baird brought
about the good showing that the team made.
The greatest' weakness o f the team was in the hatting, fo r al­
though some had a good batting average, they failed to hit when
hits meant runs. Errors in the infield were also quite noticeable
at times and lost some o f our games.

The first game was a practice game with the Shippensburg
High School team. As it was played before we had had any prac­
tice and as several o f the regulars were away, the result was 1
to 0 in favor o f the high school.
The opening game was played between Ruthersford P. & R.
Y. M. C. A., and resulted in a defeat for our boys because o f the
visitors7 greater experience and better team work. Score 7 to 4.
Wyoming Seminary appeared on May 3 and expected an easy
victory but we gave them quite a surprise winning by the score o f
2 to 1. Taylor pitched a splendid game letting them down with
one hit in the ninth inning, and striking out 14 men. In the ninth
inning Shanebrook led off with a hit followed by Mellinger with an­
other one; then Myers struck out and Kelly followed with a two
base hit, scoring Shanebrook and Mellinger and winning the game.

grounds by the score o f 8-2.
May 11 the boys journeyed to Mercersburg and by errors and
wildness in the second inning, they permitted Mercersburg to pile
up four runs, which proved to be too much to overcome, the final
score being 5-2. It was a hard game to lose. Taylor did not al­
low them a hit and struck out 17 men, yet lost.
May 18 our boys went down to defeat before the strong
Bloomsburg Normal team by the score o f 9-4. Errors by our boys
and the heavy hitting o f the visitors caused our defeat.
May 25 Shippensburg defeated their old rivals at Millersville
on the latter’s grounds by the score o f 6-2. Mellinger pitched a
fine game and Martin’s hitting featured.
May 30. On Decoration Day our boys seemed to reach the
zenith. They played one o f the best games that was ever played
on the home grounds. Every player was in the game and did his
best. Taylor again pitched a fine game. The feature was a very
fast triple play, Taylor to Mellinger to Grove. Grove featured at

ive address dealing with the benefits o f the Literary Society to the
student. The glee club then sang “ Twilight Serenade” and “Water

rendering o f “ Who’s Afraid,” that she was forced to respond to
an encore. Anna M. Hoke gave a fine interpretation of Schubert’s
Op. 142. Charles Brophy’s oration, “ The American Teacher,” was
a carefully thought out and well delivered address. Misses Jean­
nette Hoffman and Elizabeth Watkeys gave a piano duet and

“ Pan” by Misses Quinn, Jacobs and Farrar was pleasingly ren­
dered. A patriotic feature o f the program was a series o f ta­
bleaux, five in number, representing various phases o f our nation’s
history. These were well planned and effectively rendered. Dur­
ing the presentation o f the tableaux Lawrence Warren, on behalf
o f the society, presented a service flag with 81 stars upon it, rep­
resenting the number o f students and graduates who have entered
the armies o f the nation. Dr. Lehman accepted it on behalf o f

Misses Ruth Senseney, Dorothy Feeser, Mildred Crook and
Messrs. Harvey Bolan and Kalb Baldwin. The final number was
an orchestral selection “ War March o f the Priests-.”1 The exer­
cises were attended by a large crowd that completely filled the

April 27 The baseball game between the Normal team and
the crack Rutherford Pennsylvania Railroad nine was an agree­
able surprise to those who are interested in the work o f the
Normal team. The Normal boys showed that they can be count­
ed upon to give a good account o f themselves before the end o f the
season. The work o f Martin as catcher had a good influence up­
on the team. Mellinger pitched a good game and was hit heavily
in only one inning. The work o f Kurtz at the bat was particularly
commendable. The score was 7-4 in favor o f the Rutherford
team.
The chapel was fairly well filled to hear the debate between
the Philo Society team o f this school and a team representing the
Shakespeare Society o f Lock Haven. The question was “ R eft
solved, That Military Training fo r Boys Should be Substituted for

dorf. The Philo team was made up o f Misses Romaine Nell, Mary
Britton and Esther Secrist. The two sides were evenly matched.
It was the general opinion o f those who heard the debate that the
arguments on both sides were evenly balanced. The Lock Haven
team excelled in delivery but the Philo team won on its rebuttal
arguments. The judges were Dr. W. M. Irvine, o f Mercersburg;
Superintendent Claire McCullough, o f Waynesboro, and Miss Mary
Seibert, o f the Chambersburg High School. By a vote o f 2-1 the
Philo Society was awarded the decision. The musical parts o f
the program were under the direction o f Miss Adams and con­
sisted o f two splendid selections by the orchestra, a vocal solo by
Miss Spathi rendered in a very pleasing manner, and a selection by
a quartet consisting o f Messrs. Richard Horton, Paul Kurtz, Ir­
vin Mitchell and Wilbur Thrush.
April 30 Dr. Lehman and Prof. Heiges motored to Dillsburg
in the evening, where Dr. Lehman addressed the high school com­
mencement. The return trip was made safely* if not pleasantly,
in the midst o f a driving rain.
May 1— Miss Lillian G. Trego, who had been head o f the De­
partment o f French and Public Speaking, left to accept a posi­
tion as teacher o f English in the Philippines. Miss Tregois work
has been taken by Miss Beatrice Jenkins who taught during the
past year in Humeston, Iowa. Miss Jenkins has made a very fav­
orable impression upon the students and school.
Prof. John H. Frizzell, a member o f the English faculty at
State College, was secured for the work in English History and
Grammar formerly taught by Prof. Knight. Prof. Frizzell' has an
excellent reputation as a teacher at State College and the school
was very fortunate in securing his services.
Rev. S. N. Good, o f the Church o f God, conducted the prayer
meeting at Normal, and delivered a helpful message to the students.
Dr. Lehman left for Lilly, Cambria county, where he address­
ed the high school commencement last evening. On Thursday he

mencement address there, and on Friday evening he delivered a

family o f Dr. Lehman and with other friends at Normal.
One o f the best games o f baseball played on the Normal
grounds in recent years was that between Wyoming Seminary and
our own boys. It was played in the afternoon and was unfor-

innately poorly attended. It was commonly belived that the W yo­
ming boys would have a walk-over, as Wyoming seldom fails to
present one o f the strongest preparatory school teams in the state.
The- team this year was up to the standard, but a big surprise
awaited every one who attended the game. Taylor went into the
box for Normal and proved himself a puzzle to the Wyoming bat­
ters. For eight innings not a single hit was made off his delivery.
The Normal boys hit the opposing pitcher more freely, but by
keeping the hits scattered and by the sharpest kind o f fielding
the Normal boys failed to score. The score was a tie when the
Normal boys went to bat for the last time in the ' ninth inning.
Through the work o f Shanebrook and Kelly another run was
scored, winning the game for Normal by a score o f 2 to 1. Spe­
cial mention should be made o f the work o f Kelly, whose batting
brought in both runs for Normal and whose fielding was little
short o f marvelous and kept the Wyoming team from scoring at
a critical part o f the game. The work o f Martin as catcher de­
serves commendation not only for his individual work but for its
steadying effect on the team.
May 4— The baseball team journeyed to Mercersburg and
played the Reserves. Taylor pitched a great game for the
Normal boys striking out 16 men and allowing not a single hit!
The Normal boys had five hits to their credit but these were so
widely scattered as t o fail to yield any runs. Unfortunately
several errors on the part o f the Normal team slowed'the oppos­
ing team to score four unearned runs," more than enough to win the
game. The score was 5 to 2 in favor o f Mercersburg.
May- 7— The Faculty Club held its last meeting fo r the pres­
ent school year. Three interesting plays were considered,
“ Kindling,” “ Kismet” and Husband.” Miss Eppley entertained the
club in her quarters and provided fine refreshments.
May 8— Rev. Ross Murphy gave an exceptionally interesting
and profitable talk to the students in prayer meeting.
May 9— Dr. Lehman addressed the graduating class o f the
Chambersburg Hospital School for Nurses in Chambersburg.
May Iff—One o f the largest crowds that ever assembled at
Normal witnessed the program presented by the Philo Literary
Society. The exercises opened promptly at 7 :45 with an over­
ture by the orchestra. The presiding officer, Howard G. Neisley,
’ l l , o f Harrisburg, delivered a thoughtful and instructive ad­
dress dealing with the, care o f the public health and the import­
ance o f sanitation. The Glee Club sang (‘Morning Invitation”
after which Charles Maclay delivered his oration “ The Destiny o f
America.” Edna Spath then sang’i 'A Gypsy Maiden I” in fine
style. Her costume added to the effect o f the Song.
Miss Matthews’ work showed in two well rendered numbers.

The piano;;isolo “ Hungarian Concert P olk a* by Richard Horton,
merited the encore it received and the duo by Misses Xenia Miller
and Florence Ort was well executed. Miss Olive Garbers reading
from the “ Last Days o f Pompei” was well given. The girls glee:
club rendered a beautiful selection.
Then came the play “ The. Ring.»’ This little playlet, dealing
with Elizabethan times, was presented by a good cast. The work
o f Misses Swartz and Zimmerman and o f Mr. Preisler was par­
ticularly good. The play was coached and staged by Miss
Jenkins who deserves much credit for the work especially as she
had a very short time in which to prepare it.
Miss Conover had charge o f the folk •d a n cj§ and too' much
credit cannot be given to her for the excellent manner in which the
work was carried out. The folk dances o f England, Ireland,
Scotland, Italy and Japan were given in costumes. The historical
tableau arranged by Mrs .Stewart deserved the plaudits that it
received. The orchestra, under the leadership o f Miss Adams,
played unusually well and furnished a most enjoyable part o f the
program.
. The chapel was very prettily decorated in the colors o f the
society. The general program was in charge o f the faculty ad­
visers, Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Herr.
May 11 Prof. W. K. Rhodes, o f Bucknell University, who is
president o f the Alumni Association, was a visitor at Normal.
The social held in the gymnasium and school parlors was
very largely attended by the students^ and by a number o f gradu­
ates who attended the Philo Reunion.
May 17 The Normal School set aside this morning fo r the
purpose o f singing national and patriotic songs. Other musical
numbers formed parts o f the program. The following program '

May 18— The game on Eckels Field resulted in a victory fo r
the Bloomsburg Normal team by a score o f 9 to 4. For the first
half o f the game the contest was a close one, but the Shippensburg boys unfortunately made several errors that were costly and
resulted in runs being scored by their opponents. Shippensburg
also, suffered from the natural breaks in the game. In this con-

test all these accidents went against the home team. This should
not detract from the game played 'by Bloomsburg, as the team
presented by that school was a body o f seasoned players, much
older than the boys from our own school. The superior team
work o f the Bloomsburg nine told in their favor. Taylor pitched
a good game and aside from one or two innings was not batted
hard.
The moving picture exhibition o f “ Alice in Wonderland” was
given before a large crow d. o f students and their friends in the
chapel. The pictures were o f a high class, but unfortunately the
films had been poorly put together. As a result it was necessary
to patch some o f them before the screening could proceed.
M ay 21— Superintendent Spiegel, o f Hempfleld township,
Westmoreland county, and Principal Kell, o f New Alexandria,
were visitors at Normal. Superintendent Spiegel inspected the
work o f the school and hopes to secure six or seven teachers for
his schools from the graduating class. Superintendent Spiegel
was very enthusiastic over the work that he saw and spoke in
the highest terms o f the teaching done in his schools by recent
graduates o f Normal.

May 28— This evening at 6 :45 the May Fete was held on the
campus. Miss Conover prepared a very fine program o f dances
given in honor o f the May Queen, Veronica McFadden, who was
crowned by her Maid o f Honor, Ruth Kline. Miss McFadden was
attended by Miss Peggy Lehman, who bore the crown upon a vel­
vet cushion, Master Harry W olf-and Master Moyer Herr, the
train bearers, the maid o f honor, and eight senior girls as waiting
maids. The procession o f the May Queen and her attendants and
the hundred girls who took part in the dances was very lovely.
Among the dances' were the winding o f the May Pole, and a very
pretty balloon dance by Susie Shive and Alice Harling. Nellie
Reisinger and Dorothy Clever deserve credit for their work as
accompanists fo r the dances. The various color combinations
that were worked out in the costumes1, balloons and fiowers- were
most attractive and did a great deal toward making the fete a
success. The admiration and appreciation o f the spectators meule

morial Day and made a fine showing in the Memorial Day parade.
The baseball game Thursday afternoon was one o f the best
that has ever been played on Eckels Field. The teams were even­
ly matched. The. Indian team has a reputation for its work at
the bat, but they were unable to hit Taylor, who pitched a re­
markable game. He also fielded his position so closely as to
make bunting impossible fo r his opponents. The Indian pitcher
kept his! hits well scattered and had it not been fo r errors on thé
part o f his team mates the score would have been even closer than
it was. The Normal boys, however, are entitled to the credit of

playing not only the best game that has been seen on Eckels Field
this season but one o f the best that was ever played on this field.
The triple play, Taylor to Mellinger to Weldon Myers, was one
o f the prettiest plays that will be seen in many a day. It came
just at a time that the Indian team was dangerous and likely to
score. All the boys played well, but the work o f Martin, Mel­
linger, Taylor and Grove stands out strongly. The game was at­
tended by a large crowd.

Y. M. C. A.
The end o f the school year found the Y. M. C. A. doing
greater work and reaping greater benefits than ever before. In
these pressing times it was found that the Y. M.' C. A. stood fo r a
broader Christianity which must go outside o f school life-- and
help to win this great world’s war. Our boys who have gone out
from school report to us that the Y. M. C. A. has been a great
help to them.
This was our aim, to make the most out o f our association,
not only fo r ourselves but to help our classmates and others who
have gone out to fight the battle o f life for us.
Much interest has been shown in our Sunday evening meet­
ings, and we feel that they have been a source o f great joy as
well as a sure help to each one o f us toward better living.
Some o f the topics discussed have been, “ A Working Force,”
“ How Can I Serve God,” “ The Danger o f Drifting,” “ Vacation
Religion,” and we have had a report o f the convention o f newly
elected Y. M. C. A. presidents in Philadelphia.
The Cabinet for the coming year is as follow s:
President, Harvey J. Bolan.
Vice President, Charles C. Taylor.
Corresponding Secretary, Rex Clugston.
Recording Secretary, Guy R. Shumaker.
Treasurer, Paul K. Knouse.
We want to give the boys credit fo r the splendid work and
interest they have taken in our missio nstudy this term. We had
a six weeks’ study o f foreign missions;; based upon the course
given in “ The Call o f a World Task.” The success was deter­
mined by the number o f boys attending. Nearly 30 o f our boys
took part in the study.

We, members o f the Y. M. C. A., want to thank the boys who
are leaving us for having brought the association to its present
state o f efficiency. We wish all a very pleasant summer vacation
and in the fall when we return we hope, by the help o f Him who
is always willing to lead us, to raise our association to the high­
est standard o f usefulness it has ever met.
GUY R. SHUMAKER, ’19, Secretary.

Y. W. C. A.
At the end o f the school year we pause to take a backward
glance at the work o f our Y. W. ,C. A.
In the first place, we see how our Association has. grown.
During the Spring term about forty new girls joined our number.
On account o f this increase in membership and the many special
meetings which we held with the Y. M. C. A., we were unable to
hold many o f our meetings in the Court, as we did during the Fall and
Winter terms. Instead o f being sorry to leave the court, we were
rather proud that we had to seek larger quarters. But this . con­
dition did not prevent the greater portion o f the girls from being
interested in the meetings, and from taking an active part in them.
One Sunday evening, Miss Ken dig, a former graduate o f
Normal, and at present a missionary wroker in New Mexico, gave
the Y. W. C. A. girls a very interesting talk on the conditions' o f
life in! that state, showing us what a great work awaits us in the
missionary field of the United States.
Miss Isabel Laughlin, a representative o f the Presbyterian
Board o f Missions, talked to the Association about the “ S. O. S.”
call, the call to Service, Opportunity, and Sacrifice in missions.
On Friday evening, April 26, a party was held in the court to
to welcome the new girls. A very entertaining program, consist­
ing o f readings, music, and stunts was given. After refreshments,
the girls all joined in singing “ Keep the Home Fires Burning,”
which concluded the party.
On Sunday evening, May 19, the new officers were installed at
a joint meeting held in the chapel. The officers were as follows:
President, Nellie Reisinger.
Vice President, Mary McMillen.
Secretary, Olive J. Garber.
Treasurer, Gladys Shearer.

The meeting was addressed by Dr. Lehman, who spoke on the
“ Call to Service.*’
The conference held at Eagles Mere, Pa., from June 21 to
July 1, was a profitable and pleasing event. Eewer delegates
than usual were sent because the Association had given part o f its
funds to the Red Cross. The delegates- who attended the con­
ference were : Neliie Reisinger, Ruth Hoke, Marian Grider, Nora
Spangler, Mary McMillen and Rillie McMillen.
All the girls returned to their homes with many practical
plans, and full o f inspiration for their work next year.

BIBLE TRAINING CLASS
A Teacher’s Bible Training Class was organized during the
Fall term under the direction o f Mrs. J. K. Stewart. The Stand­
ard Course, by Rev. Charles A. Oliver, was used. The book Con­
sisted o f five parts and the class' studied each part earnestly and
diligently. As each part was' finished an examination was held
until all parts were completed. The class showed its intense in­
terest by the regular attendance each week.
During the Spring term the class o f thirty-two received their
diplomas, and are now ready to take up the work in the Sunday
Schools.
This was the largest class that has ever been graduated in
this course at Normal, and the class expressed its appreciation to
Mrs. Stewart for the splendid training they received. We hope
that the classes in the future mày not only increase in numbers
but in efficiency as well.

PRESS CLUB
Under the direction o f Prof. J. K. Stewart the Press Club has
completed a most successful year. Great interest was taken in
the work o f the club by all its members.
This year an informal dance was held by the club. This is
the first time any social affair o f that kind has been held. It
proved such a success that it promises to become an annual affair.
The officers fo r the year 1918-19 are:
President, Mr. Guy Shumaker, ’19.
Vice President,' Mr. Floyd Hade, ’19.
Secretary, Miss Duella Schue, ’19.
Curator, Mr. Paul Knouse, ’19.

C. V. S. N. S. ORCHESTRA
During the past school year the school orchestra has made
remarkable progress and done excellent work.
Although during the fall and winter terms some of our mem­
bers left us,..several new members came with the opening o f the
Spring term. The orchestra has had its regular rehearsals twice
each week and under the splendid direction o f Miss Adams has
deserved and received more favorable comment than ever before.
The orchestra played for both s a ie ty reunions, the two debates,
the recital and the fine program given at the concert during com­
mencement week. During the Spring term the orchestra had its
annual outing. The members' and their guests rode in a large
auto truck to “ Big Pond,” Where a lunch, consisting o f hot “ dog­
gies,” sandwiches/ olivesjj pickles, cakes, hot coffee, and toasted
marshmallows, was prepared and eaten. The party returned at .a
late hour, all wishing that we might have the trip again in the
near future.
Although the seniors will be missed very much next year, we
hope that the orchestra may increase in numbers and do better
work than ever. A cordial invitation is extended to all, who come
to Normal, and who are capable o f playing any instrument to
join the orchestra and help raise the standard. Here’s to success
and best wishes to the orchestra.
ESSA R. SMALL, ’18, Secretary.

NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY
At the beginning o f this, the Spring term, 1918, we are proud
to report that Normal Society has done work that is an honor to
the school.
When last fall term opened we had more members than in
the previous year and every member, we are proud to say, has
done the work that has been given to him. At the close o f this
term 52 new members have joined our society. Mr. LeVan and
Miss Alice Huber are to be especially commended fo r the excellent
work they have done in advising us.
Our society was proud when in the inter-society debate the

judges decided unanimously in favor o f the Normal. Our de­
baters were Ruth Emmert, Jo Hays and Harper Wentz.
The forty-fifth anniversary o f Normal Society wag held.
April 19. Mr. Earl Schaeffer, ’08, acted as president and Miss M.
Snively, ’ 09, as secretary. We were glad toli see so many old
students back fo r it shows they are interested in what we are doing. At this time the society presented to the school a service
flag, containing eighty-one stars, in honor o f the boys from both
societies that are in the service.
HELEN AUSHERMAN, *18, Secretary.

PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY
The Philo Literary Society has closed a very successful and
profitable year. This is shown by the increase in our enrollment
and by the excellent programs given throughout the year.
Philo, orchestra, which was organized in the beginning o f the
year, is keeping up the standard it set fo r itself by its frequent
appearances on our weekly programs. We hope that present
spirit will continue, for with the present number o f underclassmen
in our orchestra, we have a splendid foundation fo r next - year.
The Glee Club, also, has done excellent work and there has been
a large enrollment o f members. The selections have been chosen
according to the season, and a new interest has been taken in this
part o f the program.
It was agreed in the beginning o f the year that each week
we should have something original in our programs in the way o f
patriotic and surprise features. This has been carried out and
has met with the approval o f all by its wonderful success. For
instance, one night there was presented a most amusing repre­
sentation o f the old family picture album, by means o f Screens,
forming the leaves o f the book and different members o f the so­
ciety impersonating in old fashioned dress a family and relatives.
In the interscholastic debate with the Shakespere Literary
Society o f Lock Haven' Normal School, Philo paine out victorious.
Te debate was a very heated one, but Philo proved herself cap­
able o f “ going over the top.” After the debate, an informal re­
ception was held in honor o f the debaters and judogesti Re­
freshments were prepared and served by several members o f the
senior class; and although the spirit o f rivaly had been very keen
during the debate, a good spirit prevailed afterward, and the time
spent was very enjoyable.
On May 10 our Annual Reunion was held in the Chapel,
which was filled to its utmost. Many old members, as well as
friends o f Philo, were present, showing that Philos stil hold a deepinterest even after they leave their Alma Mater. Next in im-

we leave our best wishes for a most prosperous year.

LANDSCAPE GARDENING
Among the many improvements about the grounds and build­
ings none called fo r more favorable commendation than the
landscape gardening that has been begun under the direction o f
Prof. S. S. Shearer. The bare, unadorned corners o f the buildings
have been planted in shrubbery and evergreens and flower beds
have been placed in all parts o f the grounds. The effect is al­
ready very pleasing but the work has .just begun, and Prof.
Shearer expects to continue it during the following'years. It is
a labor o f love on his part and all friends o f the school will join
with The Herald in thanking him for his interest in making our
grounds still more beautiful.
