SUMMER SCHOOL AT SHIPPENSBURG NORMAL
JUNE 28-A1JG 6
The six weeks summer session Of the Shippensburg normal last year
was very much the largest summer session ever held here. Graduates of
high schools who wished to teach in the fall, teachers who desired a better
grade certificate and graduates from second and third class high schools
who wished to work off a number of branches in which they would other­
wise have been conditioned, were here in large numbers. One of the
hardest working groups was made up of those who desired to secure a
professional or a state permanent certificate. Besides these, many stu­
dents who had been with us during the spring remained over to take
courses that would be helpful to them in their further work.
The summer session this year will, we believe, be even more largely
attended than was the session of last year as the appeal will be even
wider this year than it was last.
The summer session has now become a regular part of the normal
school year. It is a step toward the all-year session of the normal school
whereby it will be possible for an ambitious student with good health to
finish a course in the shortest possible time. This year the opportunities
open to students will be greater than ever before as instruction will be
given in practically every subject included in the normal school course,
and in a number of other advanced subjects. The summer school faculty
will be made up of a number of the heads of departments from the normal
school and superintendents and teachers from public school work who

2

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD

have won high honors in their profession. In short, the faculty will be
one of the strongest that has ever had charge of the work at the normal
school.
The Shippensburg Normal School is ideally situated for summer
work. From its elevated position it looks down on the beautiful Cum­
berland Valley. The North and South Mountains are, in plain view.
The campus is one of the most beautiful spots to be found anywhere and
is especially beautiful in the summer. Because of their elevation the
buildings are always delightfully cool in the summer. The long halls,
the court of the girls’ dormitory and the tower of the main building with
its view of the. valley add much to the attractiveness of the place to sum­
mer students.
Evening entertainments such as illustrated lectures and moving
pictures will be provided free of cost to the students. The courses offered
will appeal to the following classes of students.
1. Those preparing for a provisional certificate.
2. Those preparing for a professional certificate.
3. Those preparing for a state permanent certificate.
4. Graduates of first grade high schools, who expect to teach next
year.
5. Graduates of second or third grade high schools who wish to
work off certain conditions so as to shorten their time at normal.
6. Students attending normal school who wish to work off condi­
tions.
7. Prospective college students who need additional credits for en­
trance to college.
The courses will be divided into two general classes: Intensive and
Continuation Courses. The intensive courses are for those who have not
been in attendance at normal during the spring term. These courses
will cover the ground as thoroughly as possible in the six weeks session.
The continuation courses are for those who wish to continue the work
done during the spring session.
F RE E T U IT IO N to all students, 17 or more years of age, who are
preparing for teaching, or who wish to secure advanced standing in the
normal school. T o those preparing for college, or for business, and to
those who are not yet 17, the tuition will be $6 for the first branch, $10
for two branches, and $12 for three or more branches. A registration
fee of $3.00 will be charged those who attend the summer term only. If
the registration fee is paid on or before June 10, the charge will be $2.50
only. Rooms will be reserved on receipt of the registration fee. For
those who have been in attendance during the spring term or a part of it
the registration fee will be $ 1.00.
In spite of the enormous increase in the cost of living, we shall con­
tinue our charge of $4.75 a week for boarding, furnished room and light.

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD

Laundry will be 30 cents a week for those who wish to have their laundry
work done at the school laundry. In these days of high charges for every­
thing it is worth while noting that a student who is 17 or more years of
age, and who is preparing for teaching or for advanced standing in normal
school, will be able to take the summer course of six weeks at our school
at an expenditure of from $32 to $35. What better investment can be
made anywhere?

OUTLINE OF COURSES OFFERED DURING SUMMER
SESSION
I n t e n s iv e C o u r s e s

Course 1. For graduates o f first grade high schools and others wishing
to prepare for county superintendent’s examination fo r ’provisional certifi­
cates. This course will include an intensive review of the common school
branches and the methods of teaching them. Special instruction will
be given by able teachers in the work of organizing a school, especially
a rural school. Pupils from the training school will be used for demons­
tration work and opportunity will be given those who wish to have some
practice in teaching, to teach a class of training school children. This is
the course that county superintendents recommend to those who expect
to teach for the first time this year.
Course 2. For those who wish to prepare fo r the examination for a
professional certificate. This course covers the branches required by the
state for this certificate. Students should select two or more of the fol­
lowing subjects: vocal music, drawing, English literature, plane geome­
try, general history, physical geography, elementary botany or elementary
zoology. It is highly important that students expecting to take this
course should register as early as possible and indicate what branches
they wish to take so that definite arrangements may be made.
Course 3. For those who expect to take the examination for the state
permanent certificate. This course will give intensive work to each of the
groups required. First group: vocal music, drawing, physical geography,
elementary botany, plane geometry and one approved book on pedagogy.
Second group: (final branches) elementary zoology, general history,
elementary physics, English literature and two approved books on peda­
gogy. The books on pedagogy from which selections should be made
are Hall-Quest’s “ Supervised Study,” James’s “ Talks to Teachers on
Psychology, ” Bagley’s “ School Discipline ” and Strayer and NorswortKy’s
“ How to Teach. ” A student may offer any book from the approved list.
Students desiring to take this course should register as early as possible,
and indicate what group they wish to take.
Course 4. For graduates o f second and third grade high schools who
wish to pass o ff conditions in first and second years in the normal school

4

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD

course. Students who are graduates of second and third grade high
schools can often save valuable time b y taking the summer course and
working off branches in the normal course that they did not have or which
were not completed in the high school course.
Course 5. For high school students who need certain branches for pro­
motion to advanced standing in high school or fo r admission to college. Stu­
dents who desire to take work of this kind should write to the principal
indicating their desires so that arrangements may be made for them.
Course 6. Special course fo r those who desire to specialize on certain
branches. Opportunity will be given for intensive study of any branches
in the normal school course. Graduates o f the two and three year nor­
mal course and even those of the four year course frequently wish to
take special work at normal. This Course is specially designed for such
students. It will include instruction in school measurements and tests,
with the approved methods of standardizing school work and scoring
tests, They should communicate with the principal in advance of their
coming and make arrangements for the work desired.
C o n t in u a t io n C o u r s e s

Course 4 A. A continuation of course 4 given during the spring
term. It will be of special value to those who wish to complète the first
year work.
Course 5 A. A continuation of course 5 given during the spring
term. Students who desire to complete the academic work required for
admission to the junior class will find this course specially valuable.
Course 6 A. A continuation of course 6 given during the spring
term. Students in this course will complete all the work needed for ad­
mission to the junior class in the fall.
Course 7 A. A continuation of course 7 given during the spring
term for the professional certificate.
Course 8 A . A continuation of course 8 given during the spring
term. The course is of special value to those who wish to take the exa­
mination for the state permanent certificate.
Course 9 A. A continuation of course 9 given during the spring
term. This course is for high school graduates who desire to complete
some of the academic branches required for a normal course.

GRADUATES OF HIGH SCHOOLS
The attention of high school graduates is called to the summer
school courses open to them from June 28 to August 6. Those who ex­
pect to teach next year will be specially interested in the courses that
cover the common school branches. The work given is exactly that
which is required b y county superintendents for the provisional certifi-

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL Hff.R.AT.n

eate. The course in methods o f teaching the common school subjects
will be of especial value to the young teacher. The inexperienced teacher
more frequently fails because of defective methods, than because of de­
fective scholarship. These courses cover both methods and academic
work.
The Department of Public Instruction at Harrisburg has endorsed
very strongly the summer school courses at the normal schools and urges
all young people who expect to teach to take a course at the normal
schools. Salaries will continue to increase, but with the increase in salary
will come a requirement for more advanced scholarship and professional
raining on the part of the teacher. It will be well for young people to
prepare themselves for the big opportunities that will be open to them in
the near future.
Graduates of second and third grade high schools who expect to
come to normal m the fall are urged to take advantage of the summer
school courses. The course in the normal school has been radically
changed and m the very near future fifteen units of high school work will
be required for admission to the regualr normal course. The summer
school will give those who need additional units a splendid opportunity
to secure the needed work.

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Dear Friends:
I am gratified to be able to inform you that the present school year
nas been the most prosperous in our entire history. N ot only have we
the largest enrollment we have ever had, but the work done has been very
successful. Our entering junior class has proved its mettle and has shown
that it will compare very favorably indeed with any class in the previous
history of the school. It is the largest in point of numbers and it is an
aggressive and hard working body of students. Our first and second
year classes are also larger than usual.
We are specially gratified to note the enrollment for the spring term.
Last year at this time, (February 14), we had 80 boarding students en™le<?' P * 1S year we have 128> who havp already paid their registration
fees for the spring term. We know that this number will be increased
by from 40 to 50 more. Our resources will be taxed to the utmost to
provide for the largest body o f spring term students that ever assembled
at normal. A t this writing every room in both dormitories has been en­
gaged and we have been compelled to seek rooms for our students in
buddings adjoining the school. The large Schoch house has been rented
and already 25 girls have been assigned to it for the spring term. Our
faculty will be mcreased by at least four new teachers. W e have already
secured Dr. J.H. Reber, formerly superintendent of the schools of Waynes-

6

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD

boro, and Miss Elizabeth Clever of Hagerstown who taught successfully
at normal several years ago. We expect to be able to secure other teach­
ers who will still further strengthen our faculty.
Our summer session of six weeks will open June 28, and close August
6. W e have every reason to believe that this session will be just as suc­
cessful as was that of last year. Already students are registering for the
summer term.
During the past two months we have received applications from our
own state and New Jersey, for at least 300 teachers. Though the salaries
offered were very attractive, we were unable to furnish one teacher as all
our graduates who were available had long ago been located in good posi­
tions. From present appearances, teachers will be still more scarce dur­
ing the coming year and wages will be correspondingly higher. Boards
of directors are already writing to us asking us to help them secure good
teachers. We are anxious to help our graduates to the very best posi­
tions ppssible and we urge any of you who desire a change of position to
write us at once so that we may be in a position to help you. Please be
as definite as possible in indicating the kind of work that you would be
willing to accept and the lowest salary. State, too, what your experience
has been and give the names of persons to whom a superintendent or
board of directors may write for information about your work. We
make absolutely no charge for this work, but as there is more or less ex­
pense in the matter of correspondence, we shall appreciate it if all of you
will enclose the postage required.
We desire to call the attention of all of you to the new course of
study for the normal schools that will soon go into effect. This course
differs radically from the present course in that it emphasizes the pro­
fessional work. Though the course has not been formally adopted at
this writing there is little doubt that it will receive the approval of the
Board of Education at Harrisburg and the normal school principals.
The new course will be based on two years training in advance of a four
year high school course or its equivalent. Fifteen units of high school
work will probably be required for admission. All the work, both pro­
fessional and academic in the course, will be of college grade. A large
number of electives covering advanced work in mathematics, biological
science, college English history and education will be offered. Gradu­
ates of the course will have no difficulty in entering the junior year in
college. Those who are not graduates of four year high schools will be
required to show to the satisfaction of the Department of Education that
they have completed the required fifteen units of high school work.
W e shall continue to offer the opportunity to take the academic
work required for admission to this course. Students from the country
districts and graduates of high schools, who have not had sufficient high
school work, will be given the opportunity at our school to secure this

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E R A L D

7

work. Our academic department will give mature students the chance
to do the required work in the shortest time possible.
As soon as possible the normal school course will be made three in­
stead of two years in advance of a four year high school course, and at an
early date a fourth year will be added, thus making the normal school
course of collegiate rank. Undoubtedly all the normal schools of the
state will be listed as Teachers’ Colleges and a regular collegiate degree
granted. This move is along the line of that taken in other progressive
states, and is the first of a series of concerted efforts to place Pennsylvania
where it belongs educationally among the states of the nation. Higher
salaries must be paid to teachers and the best way to secure these is to
increase the qualifications required for teaching. Before we can expect
to secure the salaries paid to professional men and women we must in­
sist on advanced requirements for all teachers.
N ot only does teaching offer greater opportunities in the matter of
salaries than ever before, but the need for teachers is also greater. We
appeal to all of you to help us interest the strong young men and women
of your community, in teaching. W e believe that we can give them the
very best opportunities for a good education. Our students are now
taking courses that will fit them for teaching in high school and for ad­
vanced standing in college. The new course will offer still greater oppor­
tunities. We must all unite in appealing to the boys and girls to go to
normal. Remember that it is the word spoken b y you that counts.
Our present enrollment is due to the activity of our graduates and their
loyalty to the old school. We shall greatly appreciate your efforts if
you will speak to the young men and women of your community and urge
them to come to us. I f you will send us their names and addresses we
shall be glad to write to them personally and do all that we can to have
them enroll with us.
Students are already enrolling for the fall term and those who desire
rooms in the girls’ dormitory must enroll before the end of June, if they
wish to secure them in that building.
Finally we urge all of you to get ready for the 1920 Alumni Renuions.
The classes of ’80, ’90, ’00, ’ 10 and ’18, are specially interested in their
reunions, but we hope that other classes will be out in force. We have
learned that the class of 95, is planning to celebrate its 25th graduation.
These reunions have frequently been very successful, not only in point of
numbers, but in the pleasure experienced in meeting classmates who had
been widely separated. If they are to be really successful, however,
considerable work must be done in advance of the meetings. The presi­
dents of the different classes should get to work at once and appoint their
reunion committees. The class of ’80 is not so widely scattered as some
other classes. It should be possible for the 13 members who survive to
prove that 13 can be made a very lucky number by having the best re-

8

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD

union that any forty year class has yet held. George E. Gray, Esq.,
president of the class of '90, is a successful lawyer and his class mates are
men and women who have won high place for themselves. This class
ought to have a record breaking reunion among thirty year classes. We
know that the class of 1900 is already at work and with Edgar McCullough
in charge of the reunion something is bound to happen. 1910 is a big
el ass from every point of view and its president, W . G. Fluke, should
have no difficulty in getting a large number of his classmates together at
normal. President Kenneth L. Preisler should be able to rally a large
delegation from the class of 1918. Of course we expect all of you who
can possibly do so, to be here no matter whether you are a member of
one of the reunion classes or not. Don’t forget the big day, Tuesday,
June 22. Mark it in your calendars and arrange to spend that day with
us.
With best wishes, I am,
Fraternally yours,
E z r a L e h m a n , ’89

SPECIAL BRANCHES AT THE SUMMER SCHOOL
We have already received many inquiries as to special branches such
as vocal music, French, drawing, etc. We are glad to be able to announce
that courses will be given in vocal music, French, drawing and other
subjects for which there may be a demand. M any of our graduates will
be interested in taking one or more of these special courses. It will be to
the advantage of all concerned of those who wish other branches than
those included in the regular summer term courses, will write to the prin­
cipal indicating the type of work desired. Arrangements will then be
made so that all may secure the desired branches.

COURSE IN SCHOOL MEASUREMENTS TO BE GIVEN
DURING THE SUMMER TERM
The attention of our graduates and others who may be interested
is called to the fact that a course in School Measurements will be given
at normal during the summer session. Use will be made of the standard
scales in reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, history, composition
and other subjects. These tests will be scoredby students and results
compared with those obtained in other institutions. So much attention
is now being paid to matters of this kind that no teacher can afford to be
ignorant of the use of tests, scales and measurements.

REGISTRATION FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR, BEGIN­
NING SEPT. 6, 1920
It may seem a far cry to those who have not completed their regular
high school work, when we speak of the school work of next year. It will
be interesting to such persons to know that students who will be gradu-

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL HE R ALD

ated from high school in M ay and June are already registering for the
fall term. This is a very wise course, since it enables the early registrants
to secure pleasantly located rooms that wall not be available in July and
August.
We have very much the largest enrollment in our history and com­
paratively few of those who are now with us will leave at the end of the
school year. We shall have fewer rooms than usual in both the girls’
dormitory and the main building for assignment to new students. Those
who register early will secure the best rooms. From present appearances
all the rooms in the girls’ dormitory will be engaged before the close of the
school year. We shall still have very good rooms in the main building,
but those who wdsh for any reason to secure quarters in the girls’ dormi­
tory are urged to send their registration fees of five dollars so that a room
may be held for them. At a later time the high school application blanks
may be sent to us.

A LETTER TO CLASS OF 1900
Dear Classmates:
Twenty years ago this coming June ninety-two members of the Class
of 1900 received from C. V. S. N. S. a certain paper, called a diploma,
which indicated, not that we had absorbed all the knowledge our teach­
ers could impart, but that we had sufficiently mastered the prescribed
course to enable us to teach the youth, and fight our way to success in
the world’s battle.
On that memorable day, twenty years seemed a long distance away.
Alas, those twenty years have sped all too quickly, and we are told by
elderly folks that the next twenty will go even more swiftly.
During these years we have lost by death seven members: Am y M .
Smith, Mabel Morrow, Lloyd A. Gray, M ay McClellan (Badorf), W . P.
Davis, H. M. Fogelsanger and R . J. Watson, otherwise known as “ B obby.”
It has been m y privilege, in the years since we left school, to know intim­
ately of these six departed, Mabel Morrow, Lloyd Gray and “ B ob b y ”
Watson; and I wish to testify in their behalf that all three of them were
loyal alumni, a credit to our class and our Alma Mater.
W e have no address for the following*classmates: Elsie M . First,
Lula Morris (Arters), Harry W . Brown and Percy A. Hollar. If any
classmate will furnish any or all of these addresses we shall appreciate it.
T o the best of our recollection, there were few geniuses in the class
but a mighty fine crowd of earnest, conscientious, hard-working young
men and women, starting out with a determination to carve out for
themselves success, and to see to it that this old world should be made
somewhat better for their having lived in it. Perhaps your idea of suc­
cess hap changed somewhat in twenty years; perhaps the years have

10

T H E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E R A L D

brought you wealth, or perhaps they have brought you no great amount
of money, but you are able to see some other life rounded out and brought
to full fruitage through some work or words of yours.
Since that separation day in 1900, when we said “ Good-bye,” some
of us have met but very few of our classmates, a few o f us have been
privileged to meet at one time or another many of the class, but very
likely no single member of the class has met and talked with every other
member at some time during these twenty years.
Tuesday, June 22, 1920, is Re-union D ay at C. V. S. N. S. We
should like to see every member of our class on that day. Don’t you
have an insurmountable longing to go back and again walk through the
halls and peer into those classrooms, and stroll on the campus, and last
but not least, greet your classmates and the faculty, particularly those
members who were there in our day?
- Mark the date NOW and don’t let A N Y T H IN G keep you away.
We shall do all those things aforementioned, we shall renew our youth,
join in the alumni parade, get together somewhere and have something
to eat, have a little class lustory, some short speeches, and all in all, we
¡ahall make it a Red Letter D ay for C. V .S . N. S. and ourselves. Come.
Very truly y Stirs,
J. E. M c C u l l o u g h ,

BIG SIX REUNION
On Friday, December 26, 1919, the trains were known to be running
on schedule time. This remarkable state of affairs was noticed by many
people, and quite a few guesses were hazarded. Some thought it was
due to the cessation of the Xmas rush, and others— well, no matter what
they thought.
The real secret was that those trains were bearing from different
parts of the state, the members of the “ Big Six” who inhabited the upper
story of the Gym during the Spring of 1918. A t six o’ clock in the even­
ing of that day, a crowd assembled in the P. R . R. Station at Harrisburg,
who might have been mistaken for a Greek Letter Society of Yale or
Harvard, to judge b’y the “ pep” they exhibited.
The first move of the “ Big Six” was to adjourn to the Plaza Hotel,
where they enjoyed a turkey dinner with all the “ fixins.” They were
unanimous in the declaration that the meal was 1 A -j|| but also that
chicken could not be surpassed,— under certain conditions.
After the supper, we all went to the Orpheum Theatre, where we
pitted our eyes against the hands of Thurston, the great magician. We
were established in the front row and loaned our assistance to Thurston,
both on and off the stage. He repaid us by telling our futures, the re­
sults of which were remarkable, considering the fact that he told one of
the “ Big Six” who is already married that he would secure a beautiful
sweetheart, and another one, who has no matrimonial tendencies, that
his wife would have seven children.
From the show we went to our room in the Hotel where we had a
very pleasant, enjoyable and profitable time. W e were visited b y sev­
eral present and past students during the night. The session was broken
up at last by the fact that one of the number was compelled to go to
work.
jjH H H H H H j
The “ bunch” stayed in the city during Saturday, showing the city
a good time, and incidentally having one in their own interests. The
“ Reunion” formally broke up at 2:45 o ’clock on Saturday afternoon.
One of the faithful, however, spent the night in the town of “ 0 . K . bread’
just across the river.
This was the first of the Reunions. There will be more from time to
time. It is given to only six persons to be in the inside of the “ big doins,
but for twenty-five cents you can read all the proceedings except a few
minor details in the “ Herald.”

We take the following account of his life from a Shippensburg paper.
Death claimed another of Shippensburg’s well known, aged and
highly respected citizens last Thursday night, January 15th, at 10:30
o'clock, when Mr. Joseph M cCord Means, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Jos. M cCord and Jane W oods Means, and the last of thirteen children,
departed this life at his home, 214 North Prince street, aged 85 years,
having been born in Newburg, M ay 22,1834. Mr. Means was a familiar
figure in this community where he resided for many years, having been
a retired farmer. He was a constant and active member of the Presby­
terian church and his demise was due to the infirmities of old age. His
first wife, who was Miss Catherine E. McClelland before her marriage,
preceded him in death in 1901. He is survived by his second wife, who
was Miss Danna McCullough of Newville; three sons, John M ., of Chi­
cago; Joseph C., of Shippensburg and Charles M ., of Pittsburg, also by
two daughters, Mrs. J. Clark McCulloch of Big Spring, this county, and

was made in Spring Hill cemetery. The sons and grand-sons of the de­

BASKET BALL
Immediately following the close of the football season on November
22nd, the call for basketball men was issued. More than fifty men came
out. Everyone was anxious to work hard and demonstrate his ability.
The first game was scheduled for December 5th. .This gave the squad
but ten days time to work into shape. Consequently a hurried reduction
of the squad was necessary.
The two games scheduled before Xmas resulted in defeats for C. V.
S. N. S., but they served as an impetus for harder work and better organi­
zation on the part of the team.
After returning from Xm as vacation, the team put in hard and stren­
uous work and determined to benefit from the first games of the season.
Thus far the team has won five and lost two games since January 6.
Circumstances surrounding the basketball squad resulted in a total
reorganization of the team about February 10. Since then the team has
won two very well-played games: one from Tarsus Club on their own
floor, and another from the quintet from Beckley’s Business College of
Harrisburg.
The team now is in the height of its season and C. V. S. N. S. bids
strongly to take into camp the balance of the opponents on its basketball
schedule.
The prolonged sickness of Charleton, who plays center, has handi­
capped the team to a considerable extent. However, Captain Fiekel,
who was shifted from a guard position is showing up splendidly and con­
tinues to play his usual brilliant and consistent game in the new lineup.
The determination and plucky spirit of Captain Fiekel has always, been
an inspiration to his team.
Grove, who has played guard is now in the forward position, and hi»
flashy playing has baffled all his opponents. “ R e d ” is quick and sure
and can always be relied upon to keep the team full of pep and ginger.
Our other forward, Charlie Taylor, is dependable and steady. He
came out late in the season, but his playing soon earned him a varsity
jersey. The fact that “ Charlie” is playing with a handicap warrantsmore commendation of his spirit to do his best for his Alma Mater at all.

“ Sam” Shearer, the star on many gridirons, also shines on the bas­
ketball floor. He is always present to break up the opponents’ plays. As
a guard he is consistent and dependable. Nothing ever gets b y “ Sam.”
B y sheer grit and hard work he earned his place as guard and now con­
tinues this type of playing, much to the annoyance of all his opponents.
Eurich, the other guard, developed rapidly. He passed quickly
from the second to the first team. He is in every play on his end of the
floor and is always ready to go.

PRESS CLUB
The members of the Press Club have shown the same diligence and
enthusiasm in their work this term as was shown during the fall term.
The last meeting of the Club was held January 12. A t this time
Mr. Nickles of Shippensburg gave us an interesting talk on advertising.
He discussed the most important points to be considered in successful
advertising and gave many helpful suggestions. A t the conclusion of
his. address, Mr. Nickles offered four prizes of five dollars, two- and onehalf one and one-half, and one dollar, respectively, for the best essay,
advertising the Normal School. There are to be at least ten contestants
and the essays to be handed in February 27. The essays are to be judged
on these three points: best introduction, most convincing argument
and best English. Twelve members have signified their mtention of
entering the contest and much interest is being shown.

SOCK AND BUSKIN CLUB
The Sock and Buskin Club is keeping right in line with the other
organizations of the school and is doing its bit in raising the standard
of old Normal. Its benefits^ are many and the training received from it
is almost invaluable.
. .
.
The programs this term have been quite interesting. Iw o oi tnem
were object lessons in “ stage make-up.” These lessons were indeed,
very instructive, especially to those who may want to take up work in
dramatics.:

The real worth of the organization will be exhibited in the near fu­
ture in three one-act plays, which are to be given the first week in March.
M a r t S c h u e , Secretary.

Y . W . C. A.
This organization continues to do good work.

The beginning of

winter term brought us several new members.
Among the interesting features of our Sunday evemng meetings,
have been a talk by Miss Mayberry on “ The Poetry of the Bible,” and a
description of the Eaglesmere Conference by Pearl Hoffeditz. In order
to vary our services, we have been having a song service about once m
every six weeks.
Although on account of the extreme cold weather our delegates were
not permitted to go to the Des Moines Convention, we have been given
the opportunity to send delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention
at Juniata College. The following girls, representing the four classes
were elected by the association, to go to Juniata: Hazel Irvin, Elbe
Markle, Helen Drace, and Lois Atticks.

We are trying to have our Y. W . C. A. and Student League work to­
gether as much as possible.' On Saturday evening, February 14, the
joint organizations held an informal party in the gymnasium, to which
the boys and faculty of the school were invited.
We are glad to See the great interest of the alumnae in our work,
which has been shown by their letters; and we appreciate the New
Year’s greetings with which they supplied us. This shows that the in­
fluence of the Y . W . C. A. is still felt after the girls leave their Alma.

Y. M. C. A.
The opening of the year of 1920 marked an increase of activity in the
work of the Y . M . C. A, During the month of January there was intro­
duced a new feature of work. It was a week of prayer. The purpose of
this was to impress upon the members, the power of prayer and we were
addressed by Revs. Lindsay, Lobb and Bowers of Shippensburg and by
Dr. Lehman. These meetings were well represented and the interest
shown by the boys was encouraging. These meetings also promoted a
better and more helpful atmosphere among the fellows.
The Association sent Messrs. Gobrecht and C. Raffensberger to the
convention held at Juniata College, February 27-29. These were the
first delegates sent to any convention this year, and they brought back
many suggestions and ideas that we shall be able to use to a great advan­
tage here.
Due to the fact that we give each member a chance to express his
opinions upon any subject at our meetings, the boys have all t.qVpn more
interest in them and this has put more life and spirit into our meetings.
The following is an example of the Sunday evening program:
Opening— Songs by the Association.
Bible Reading— B y leader.
Prayer— B y a member.
Discussion— B y leader, on the subject.
Remarks— B y members, on the subject.
Closing Prayer— B y leader.
Mizpah Benediction.

invited as guests, the faculty and boys of the school.

The gym was beautifully decorated with hearts and other suggestive
decorations. The girls met at the gym at seven o ’clock and formed a
double receiving line for the boys and faculty. As favors the boys were
given red crepe paper caps.
We had several leap year dances, but we also had relay races, games
and the Virginia-reel, so that not only those who could dance could have
a good time, but that all could take part. For refreshments, ice cream
and cakes were served.

partment is a credit to your paper— also the department “ From the Office ’

TEACHERS FOR THE SPRING TERM
An unusually strong corps of teachers has been secured for the spring
term. Dr. J. H. Reber, formerly superintendent of the Waynesboro
schools, is one of the new teachers. Dr. Reber is widely known as a very
successful teacher and superintendent. He brought the schools of

TH E N O RM A L SCHOOL H E RA LD

27

Waynesboro to a high state of efficiency. He retired from service two
years ago to devote his attention to his farms near Shippensburg. Fortu­
nately for us Dr. Reber was willing to return to teaching for a time at
least and we consider ourselves fortunate in being able to secure him for
the spring term.
Miss Elizabeth Clever of Hagerstown, Maryland, who taught suc­
cessfully during the spring term several years ago, will return to normal
this year. Miss Clever has proved herself a very successful teacher in
the high schools of Maryland and agreed to come to us only because o f
her desire to return to Pennsylvania and take up work in the normal.
Mrs. Glenn D. Brown of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, will teach here
during the spring term and will also have charge of the Schoch house with
its 25 girl students. Mrs. Brown is the wife of Dr. Brown of Bucknell
University and has had considerable experience as a teacher. She has
also specialized at the University of Pennsylvania in mathematics and
science since her graduation from Dickinson College.
Prof. Alvin Weaver, a graduate of normal and Lebanon Valley Col­
lege, has resigned his position in Washington with the Federal government
to come to us for the spring term. Prof. Weaver was principal of the
Lilly schools when he resigned to enter the army service. He was very
successful as a supervising principal and will undoubtedly make a fine
record at normal.
Mr. A. Harland Greene, Westminster, Maryland, is the fifth of the
teachers to come to normal. Prior to his graduation from Dickinson
College he taught successfully in the schools of Maryland. He comes,
highly recommended by all who have known of his work.
