OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED STUDENTS DURING SPRING TERM
The spring term will open Monday, April 1, and will continue
thirteen weeks. All students 17 or more years o f age who expect
to teach will receive FREE TUITION. To students under 17 the
tuition is $1.50 per week. In spite o f the enormous increase in the
cost o f living we have found it possible to continue the rate o f $4.50
per week fo r boarding, furnished room, heat, light, and laundry.
The only additional expense is the registration fee o f five dollars
and the cost o f books. These may be rented or purchased. Thus the
entire expense fo r a student 17 or more years o f age is five
dollars registration fee, fifty-eight dollars and fifty cents fo r 13
weeks board, room, laundry, etc. The expense fo r books will range
from three to six dollars—thus the entire expense fo r the spring term
will not equal $70.
Teaching now makes a special appeal to young people. The de­
mand has never been so great fo r teachers as it now is. The sal­
aries that are now assured make it worth while fo r young men and
women to prepare themselves fo r teaching. It is recognized that
teaching is not only a good profession in itself but is one that fits
the man or woman for almost any other profession or calling. The
preparation required forteachin g is exactly what is needed fo r the
successful business man, the professional man, the housekeeper and
the woman who goes into professional or busines life. The thorough
mastery o f the common school branches1
, the training received in
teaching others and the contact with all types o f men and women
constitute a preparation that is o f the greatest posible value in after
life.

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

The Shippensburg Normal School will offer splendid opportunities
to all classes o f young people who wish to begin the work o f teach­
ing or to prepare themselves for advanced work. We offer special
inducements to the following classes o f students : 1. Students who
have completed the public school course and wish to prepare fo r
teaching. Such student's are advised to consult the county super­
intendent under whom they will be examined as to the course to be
taken at Normal. Special classes will be organized and all the com­
mon school branches will be thoroughly reviewed. The Principal
will have charge o f the work o f these classes. Miss Harris and
Mrs. Herr will give special instruction in methods o f teaching and will
demonstrate how subjects should be taught. This work will be o f
the greatest possible value to prospective teachers. No examination
will be required fo r admission to these classes.
2. Special classes will be organized fo r those who wish to com­
plete all or a part o f the course before teaching. In addition to the
common school branches1these classes will have the opportunity o f
studying physical geography and English history. This course will
be specially valuable to those who are not yet 18 years o f age, as it
will enable them to begin the Normal School course and complete a
considerable part o f it before beginning the work o f teaching. A
great many o f our young people make a serious mistake by returning
to public school work after they have completed the public school
course. In this way valuable time is lost.
3. Teachers who wish to secure a better provisional certificate
will find just the opportunities they desire during the spring term.
Such teachers may drop all branches in which they have received a
mark o f two or better from the county superintendent. Where work
in algebra has not gone beyond quadratics the student will be required
to take the work in order to receive credit at the school. Students
are also urged to take the course in reading offered at the school
in order that they may teach it more effectively. The type o f method
work offered in course No. 1 will also be given students in this course.
4. Teachers who have attended Normal for at least one spring
term are urged to take course No. 4. This course will take advanced
work in the freshman year. In some cases work in the sophomore year
will be given. By an arrangement with the county superintendents
students taking this work will receive special credit fo r their work
even though they are compelled to sacrifice some time that they might
wish to devote to the common school branches. By taking this course
students will receive credit fo r the freshman or sophomore year’ s work
and will thus be enabled to clear off work needed fo r entrance to the
junior year. This course should appeal to all ambitious students
who are anxious to complete the Normal School course.
5. Teachers who have completed the freshman year’ s work

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

will be given the opportunity to take up part o f the sophomore work.
6. Teachers who have completed part o f the sophomore year’s
work are urged to continue this work so as to qualify for the junior
class.
7. A course will be offered to teachers who wish to take the
examination for professional certificate. As the salary fo r the pro»
fessional certificate has been materially advanced, superintendents
are naturally concerned in raising the ¡Standard. As a result o f our
Consultation with county superintendents, we shall offer a 1eoursespeeially suited to those who wish to take the examination fo r pro­
fessional certificate. This course will cover the work o f the spring
term and will be continued in the summer term o f six weeks. Teach»
ers who expect to take this course are urged to communicate as soon?
as possible with the principal in regard to the work that they desire»,
8. Teachers who expect to be examined fo r a permanent cer­
tificate are urged to write to the principal in regard to the oppor­
tunities open to them during the spring term.
9. Graduates o f second and third class high schools will find
courses open to them on the completion o f their work. Such students
are urged to come to the school on the completion o f their high
school courses and to take up work in which they may be deficient in
order to secure advanced classification.
The principal will be very glad to answer any question that any
one may desire to ask in regard to the nature o f the courses .offered,
their scope, etc. Don’ t hesitate to write. We shall try to give you a
satisfactory answer to. any question you may wish to ask.

SUMMARY OF THE SPRING TERM COURSES
All persons interested in the work o f the spring term are urged
to read the article entitled “ Opportunities offered to Students During
the Spring Term,” in this number o f THE HERALD. In order that
the work may be clearly understood by all we offer the following sum­
mary o f the work that will be given:
Spring term opens Monday, April 1 and continues 13 weeks.
Students 17 or more years o f age will receive free tuition. To
students under 17 the tuition is $1.50 per week until they are 17.
$4.50 per week pays for boarding, furnished room, heat, light
and laundry. The only additional expenses are the registration fee
o f five dollars and the cost o f books. The entire expense fo r the
spring term will be between $65 and $70. This is payable in two in­
stallments.
The following courses are offered:
-Course 1. To those who have completed the public school

course and wish to teach next year. A thorough review o f the com­
mon school branches and the methods o f teaching them. Demonstra­
tion work will be given by Miss Harris1 and Mrs. Herr. The Prin­
cipal will have charge o f this course.
Course 2. To graduates o f the public schools who wish to com­
plete all or part o f the course before teaching. In addition to the
public school branches this course offers instruction in Latin, physi­
ca l geography and English history. This course is recommended to
all students not yet 18 years o f age.
Course 3. Open to teachers who have taught and wish to secure
a better provisional certificate. Students taking this course may
drop all branches in which they have received a mark o f two or better
from the county superintendent. Students may also begin the study
o f Latin, take physical geography and English history if they so
desire.
Course 4. This course is designed for teachers who have previ­
ously attended Normal School. All branches that have been satis­
factorily completed will be dropped and advanced work in the fresh­
man class including Latin will be taken. In this way it will be possi­
ble to complete the work o f the freshman year. County superinten­
dents will give credit to students taking advanced work in this course.
' Course 5. This course is for those who have completed the
freshman year’s work and wish to take up part o f the sophomore
work. The work o f the sophomore year is so divided as to enable an
ambitious student to finish a considerable part o f it during the spring
term. It includes Caesar, geometry, rhetoric, general methods, and
one o f the sophomore sciences.
' Course 6. This course is open to teachers who have completed
part o f the sophomore year’s work. It articulates with course 5 and
continues the work o f that course.
Course 7. This course is for those teachers who expect to take
examination fo r a professional certificate. It covers the branches
required for that certificate and reviews thoroughly any branch or
branches in which the student may be deficient. Students taking
this course are urged to communicate with the principal as early as
possible and to indicate what branches they wish to take so that
arrangements may be made fo r them.
Course 8. Teachers who expect to take the examination fo r
permanent certificates will be given the opportunity o f entering the
classes covering the work that they need. We have had a number
o f inquiries as to work o f this kind and we shall offer this course to
meet what is apparently a general demand. All who expect to take
this course are urged to communicate with the principal at an early
date.

Course 9. This is a mixed course open to students who have
completed the work in second and third grade high schools. Val­
uable time may often be gained by entering school as soon as the
course in such schools is completed.
Students writing to the principal in regard to work are urged to
refer to the numbers here given when speaking o f the course that
they desire to take.

MEETINGS OF THE COUNTY ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS
In spite o f war and the strees o f other matters the County
Alumni Associations held successful meetings'. We have not receiv­
ed reports from all o f these associations. Consequently our list is
incomplete and we must depend upon the secretaries o f the associa­
tions not represented in this article to make a later report.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY
The Cumberland Valley Branch of the Shippensburg Alumni A s­
sociation convened in the Carlisle Opera House, Monday evening,
December third, nineteen seventeen and rendered the following pro­
gram:
The opening number was an appropriate selection by the C. V.
S. N. S. male quartette. Miss Leila McCulloch gave two short
poems from Robert W. Services’ “ Rhymes o f a Red Cross Man.” The
first voiced “ The Despair o f The W ar;” the second, “ The Hope o f The
War.” The Ladies quartette o f the Frankford Township High
School delighted the audience with two songs.
Hon. Filmore Maust gave “ Reminiscences o f Forty-years Ago.”
A glowing tribute was paid to the members o f the faculty o f that
day; only one o f that illustrious1body remains in active service there
today, and o f Dr. Eldon, it was truly said, he stands before us as
the highest example o f clean living, high ideals, and true manhood.
The audience was pleasingly entertained by Miss Mary Thomp­
son’s piano solo. Miss Adams the vocal teacher at C. V. S. N. S.
held her audience with her charming manner and sweet voice in two
selections.
“ The Ramble in the Land o f Scott’ by Dr. Ezra Lehman was in­
deed a treat to all. His realistic description o f the land and the
people o f Bums and Scott could not help but create in the hearts o f
all who were fortunate enough to hear him, an intense desire for
travel and the study o f literature.
The scene from “ The Twig o f Thom”— an .Irish Play was out­
lined by Miss Trego and presented by a cast from C. V. S. N. S.
The scene was beautiful as well as entertaining. The graceful
dancing o f the little fairy was very fascinating.

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

The closing number was. given by the male quartette.
The association then adjourned to the Y. M. C. A. building
where the banquet tables were tastefully decorated in the school
colors, red and blue. The Ladies Auxilary o f the Y. M. C. A. prepared
and served the banquet. Assistant County Superintendent N. G.
Rice presided as toast master on this occasion.
Mrs. James Carothers responded to the toast, “ The Alumni o f
the 19th Century,” and was followed by Mrs. Elmer Wagner, with
“ Reminiscences o f Thirty-years ago;” “ The Alumni o f the Twentieth
Century,” by Mr. Prank Coffey; and “ Normal Athletics,” Mr. Dale
Crunkleton.
Dr. Ezra Lehman and Superintendent Green congratulated the
association on the success o f this program. (Space forbids justice
being given to the appropriate responses o f this occasion.)
The sing­
ing o f our “ Alma Mater” by the association brought this meeting to
a close. One hundred and thirty plates were served.
At a business meeting December fifth the following officers were
nominated for 1918 and the secretary was authorized to east the
ballot: President, Mr. Frank H areS V icA Presidents, Mr. Frank
Cbffey, Mr. Roy Burkhart; Recording Secretary, Miss Ethel W olf;
Corresponding Secretary, Miss Mary Yeager; Treasurer, Mr. Charles
Kell.
JANE H. McCULLOUGH, Secretary.

DAUPHIN COUNTY
Dauphin county as usual set the pace for the other associations.
Dr. S. Z. Shope was president and he was assisted by a live com­
mittee. So well was1the work done that about 120 Alumni and their
wives and husbands assembled in the Shimmel Building, at 17th and
Catherine streets, on the evening o f November 15. The gathering
was very informal. Dr. Shope introduced Dr. Frederick Poole, the
noted Asiatic traveler and Chinese scholar, who gave a most interest­
ing account o f ancient and modem China. He then gave an excell­
ent impersonation o f the various characters in the first act o f The
Yellow Jacket” presenting each character in appropriate costume.
At the close o f the literary part o f the program refreshments were
served. Dr. Shope expressed his gratification at the large number
who were present and made the suggestion that the organization be
made a permanent one and that meetings be held in different parts o f
Dauphin county at intervals during the year. His suggestion was
adopted.
Though Dr. Shope insisted in passing on the presidency o f the
association to some one else, the asociation insisted on his retaining
the office and refused unanimously to accept his declination. Mrs.
Howard Omwake was re-elected secretary and four vice presidents
from different parts o f the county were elected. Dr. and Mrs. Leh-

man and Miss Horton were present from the faculty. Dr. Lehman
conveyed greetings from the school to the association and congratu­
lated them on their school spirit and the success that was attending
the Dauphin County Association.

HUNTINGDON COUNTY
Huntingdon county does not have as many representatives as
some o f the other counties, but they are not lacking in their devo­
tion to the old school.
On Tuesday evening, October 30, the following persons were
present at a meeting at the home o f Superintendent R ife : Mr. and
Mrs. Creamer, Mrs. Fluke, Mr. and Mrs. Ricker, Prof. Jacob Hollinger, Mrs. Westbrook, Miss Margaret Coder, Miss Anna Bell, Mr. P.
Earl Herting, Mr. J. Warren Maclay, Miss Ethel Montague, Mr. Harry
Howe, Miss Bess Bair, Mr. J. F. Slaybaugh, Miss Mary Cutshall, Mr.
J. L. Enyeart, Miss E. Marie Steele, Mr. C. E. Helrnan, Supt. and
Mrs. Rife, and Master John Rife. Supt. R ife presided and read a
letter o f greeting from the Principal. The meeting adopted the
following resolution:
“ Resolved, That we pledge our loyal support to the Shippensburg State Normal School and to its Principal, whom we heartily
congratulate on his very successful administration.”: I
The question o f having a banquet next year was discussed.
The meeting closed with remarks by Mr. Walter I. Ricker. The
officers elected for next year are, President, Supt. W. M. R ife; Vice
President, Harry A. Howe; Secretary, Mary Cutshall.

JUNIATA COUNTY
The Juniata County Alumni held a meeting on November 14, and
elected the following officers for next year: President, G. C. Lyter,
Port Royal; Secretary, Sara A. Berry, Mifflin; and Anna Haldeman
representative o f the Juniata County Association on the Executive
Committee o f the General Alumni Association. The following per­
sons were present: Mrs. Nelle E. Brindle, Anna Haldeman, Jane
Haldeman, Myrle Frankhouse, Sara Berry, G. C. Lyter, Esther Rhine,
Margaret Woodsides, Grace Swamer, Irma Shover, Marie Moyer and
Lloyd Groninger. Prof. H. L. Burkholder was: present as a rep­
resentative o f the faculty. The meeting was informal and afforded
all the members a chance o f getting acquainted with each other and
talking over old times at Normal.

FRANKLIN COUNTY
Franklin county held its Alumni meeting on Wednesday evening,
November 21. Prof. R. G. Mowery presided. A quartette from
Normal consisting o f Messrs. Horton, Surface, Thrush and Watson,

sang several selections and was encored by the audience. Miss
Adams o f the department o f vocal music was also forced to respond
to an encore. Dr. Lehman was called upon to address, the associa­
tion. He conveyed greetings of the school to the association and ex­
plained the plan o f the school in offering extension and correspond­
ence courses. The following officers were then elected: President,
A. C. Garland, Lehmaster; Secretary, A. Flo. Geyer, Chambersburg.
We do not have the list o f the other officers at this writing. The
association adjourned after singing the “ Alma Mater.”

YORK COUNTY
York county comes near the end o f the alphabet but for gen­
uine all-round loyalty and enthusiasm it stands near the very top.
Dr. Lehman made a flying visit to the York institute where he spoke
on Tuesday forenoon, November 27. It was necessary fo r him to re­
turn to Shippensburg on the early afternoon train. When the
Alumni found this out they hastily called a meeting in one o f the
recitations rooms o f the high sehool and filled it to overflowing with
graduates and former students. Assistant Supt. Albright presided,
and after speaking o f the prosperity that had attended the school
called on Dr. Lehman to address the association. He expressed his
appreciation o f the loyalty o f the York County Alumni and explained
the work that the school purposed doing in its extension and cor­
respondence courses. Much interest was manifested in this feature
o f his talk and many questions were asked about the work. Miss
Margaret Overholtzer told o f her visit to Normal last June as the
representative o f the York Association and expressed her gratification
at her reception there and with the work that was being done. Sev­
eral other short addresses were made.

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
Fellow Members o f the Alumni:
I have been greatly pleased that it was possible for me to meet
so many o f you personally this fall. I am especially gratified at the
interest that you have shown in the old school and I am very grateful
to you for all that you are doing in these strenuous times to induce
young men and women to come to us to prepare fo r their life’s work.
The Alumni meetings have been unusually well attended in most
counties. The banner meetings were held in Dauphin, York and Cum­
berland, but Huntingdon, Juniata, and Franklin report a good at­
tendance at the Alumni gatherings.
When the war with its attendant problems1
, Red Cross work, and
Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. activities, are calling fo r the spare time o f the

teacher and his best efforts, it can hardly be expected that much in­
terest and tune can be given to other matters. It is very gratifying
however, to note that the extension work at Normal is receiving the
endorsement Slot only o f our own Alumni but o f educators in general.
Rrobably the' correspondence courses are attracting more attention
from our Alumni than any other feature o f our work.
These courses offer splendid opportunity fo r advancement.
Many o f our graduates have lamented that they were too remote
rom colleges and universities' to take advantage o f the courses there
ottered. The correspondence work at Normal will give all such teach­
ers an opportunity to prepare themselves fo r more advanced work
The ambitious teacher will not fad to make use o f the opportunity
thus afforded. Through the correspondence courses it will be poss­
ible to take advanced work in Latin, German, mathematics, history
special methods, rural sociology, cooking, drawing, and probably
other branches. At a time when the demand for teachers is unpre-,
ce d e d and many opportunities are opening to both men and women
m high school work, the ambitious teacher will not fail to profit by
these courses.
I appeal especially to all o f you to use your influence in having
young people come to us for the spring term and fo r next fall. Now
g f G B B to use y °ur personal influence in persuading them to come
The demand fo r teachers is greater than it has been at any time dur­
ing the past thirty years and from present appearances, the demand
is likely to continue for years to come. Many o f our young people
are being induced to take short cuts in business schools. When the
war is ended, these young men and women will realize too late that
they are poorly prepared fo r life’s work. A good education is neces- ’
sary fo r success in any calling. Teaching makes a special appeal to
an ambitious young man or woman who is anxious to be o f real
service to the nation. We shall be glad to have you put us in touch
with all young people from your neighborhood who may think o f
teaching.
I am very much gratifi-d with the response to the letter I wrote
to the members o f the Alumni last October. Many rep liel were re­
ceived and all breathed the spirit o f loyalty to, and interest in, the
old school.

OBITUARY
BOHER. Mrs. Sara Hogan Boher, wife o f Mr. John E. Boher,
died at her home in Shippensburg, December 20, after an illness o f
more than three years.
Mrs Boher will be remembered by hundreds o f our Alumni and
former students as Miss Sara R. Hogan, who taught at Normal from
1875 to 1882. She was a very successful teacher and endeared her­
self to all who came in contact with her. On March 8, 1883, she was
married to Mr. John E. Boher, who has for many years been a mem­

FITZ. Mrs. Lena A. Fitz Taylor, ’ 93, died November 24, 1917.
We have the following account o f Mrs Fitz’s death from a Waynes­
boro paper.
Mrs Lena Aura Fitz, wife o f A. Stover Fitz, Fairview evenue,
died at 6 o’clock Saturday morning, aged 43 years, 7 months and 9
days.
Mrs. Fitz had been ill since last Saturday evening with grip,
which developed later into pneumonia, which caused her very sad
and untimely death.
The deceased was born near Mowersville, Pa., April 15, 1874,
the daughter o f M. S. and Mary Taylor.
She was married July 3, 1896, to A. Stover Fitz and has lived
in Waynesboro since her marriage.
Mrs. Fitz was a kind and loving mother and the people o f the
entire community extend their most heartfelt sympathy to the hus­
band and members o f the bereaved f amily.
She was an active member o f the St. Paul Reformed church
and with her family was a regular attendant at the services o f her
■church and also took an interest in the various branches o f church
work.
Funeral services Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock in St. Paul
Reformed church, conducted by Rev. Joseph E. Guy. Interment in
Green Hill cemetery.

FOOT BALL
In the eyes o f a world that judges by results rather than by fa ct­
ors the 1917 foot ball season may seem very unsuccessful; but to us,
who know the obstacles and handicaps that had to be overcome, the
outcome o f the season o f 1917 is a source o f pride. Aye, it is with
much pride that we review the record made by our team.
The first game played at Bloomsburg Normal, although result­
ing in defeat is far from di.;creditable to us when we consider the
relative experience o f the two teams. The most regrettable feature
o f the game was the disabling o f Captain Bolán so that he could not
play again until the last game o f the season. In the second game,
that with the Alpha Club o f Waynesboro, the real strength o f our
team was shown. Although the score records a tie, in actual playing
our team won a decisive victory. The game with Mercersburg was
perhaps the most closely contested game o f the season. The teams
were so evenly matched that the outcome o f the game was always in
doubt. Normal drew first blood; but failed to kick the goal, making
the Jeore 6-0 in favor o f C. V. S. N. S. However, luck broke

against us and just a few minutes before the close o f the game Mercersburg scored a touchdown, defeating us by the score o f 7-6. Nor­
mal should have won. Her gains were more consistent. Her de­
fence was more impenetrable. Had it not been fo r that one un­
fortunate break this game would have gone down as a
weU earned victory.
We cannot speak o f it, however, with­
out lauding the man o f the hour. Sam Shearer bore the brunt o f
the game. His playing was o f a type that won fo r him the praise
and admiration o f all who saw it. His clever open field running
frequently made gains o f from 15 to 20 yards. His line plunges were
direct and showed the strength o f a giant. His loss by draft the
next week was probably the one most felt during the rest o f the
season.
The outcome o f the game with the Indian Reserves was not un­
expected. We were defeated 25 to 0. Our offence was demoralized
by the loss o f the keystone man but our defence was strong. The
score 25 to 0 is really not a blot on our record when the strength o f
the Indian Resrves is fully appreciated. The last game, with Millersville, was surely a fitting climax to the season. We met our rivals
and downed them to the count 32-0. The game is noteworthy, not
so much on account o f the score as on account o f the character o f
the play. We started the game with practically the same lineup that
started at Bloomsburg in the first game. The principle ehange was
in the back field where Cap. Bolan was again pilot and Shearer’s
place was very ably and creditably filled by Charlie Taylor. Had
a modem Rip Van Winkle seen the first game and then slept to wak­
en just in time to see this, the last game, there would surely have
been a surprise in store for him. The team o f green men was now
a team o f veterans and every move in every play showed veteran
skill. The playing o f every individual player was o f high class and
the whole team deserved the praise and commendation that it re­
ceived.
Thus then we played, fighting from beginning to end, coming
through defeat to well earned victory. Can anything speak more
eloquently o f the spirit o f the players than just this record o f their
playing?

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS
The fall term o f the year 1917 will long be remembered in the
history o f C. V. S. N. S. girls’ athletics. Success in hockey endeavor
brought lasting fame and credit to our Alma Mater.
Hockey was a new sport in Normal and it has proved to be a
popular one. The hockey equipment was ordered early in the fall
but did not arrive until the beginning o f November. A call for can-

didates was issued promptly and the number of girls responding was
more than encouraging. Enough candidates were on hand, through­
out the entire season to permit having four full teams, one from each
class. Each class elected a captain, as follows:—
Senior— R. Emmert. Junior— E. Owens. Sophomore— L. Atticks. Freshman— G. W olf.
_
Regular class practice was begun at once under the direction o f
Miss Conover, who' coached the teams. Each class had particular
evenings for practice and the teams were lined up regularly. A por­
tion of the athletic field was lined off and goal posts erected fo r use
in this game. There was practice not only in the evening from four
to five o’clock, but also every morning from six-thirty to seven
o’clock. A large number o f girls responded to the call. It was
cold and frosty so early in the morning, but this made the game all
the more invigorating.
A series o f class games was arranged to decide the champion­
ship o f the school. The first game was scheduled fo r Thanksgiving
Day. This was to be between the seniors and juniors, but on a c­
count of snow this game had to be postponed. The following Satur­
day, December 1, this game was played. Admission o f five cents
was charged and a large crowd assembled to see the game. The
classes were in groups and proudly displayed their banners as they
.gave rousing yells fo r their players. The game was brilliant and
both teams played well. The seniors played more consistently than
their opponents, however, and their attack fa r surpassed the junior
offense. The team work o f the seniors was particularly good and
the individual work o f both teams was well worth watching. The
juniors made one good goal but the senior offense was so strong that
most o f the game was played in junior territory. The seniors won
the game with the final score o f 6-1. The line-up was as follow s:

Thursday, December 6, the freshman class played the s-ophomore
class. This was also a very good game which resulted in the defeat
o f the sophomores by their underclassmen* the freshmen. The score
was 3-1. The girls who played were: Freshmen— G. W olf, 0 . Krall,
A. McLean, E. Craig, L. Fogelsonger, A. Spessard, F. Filling, B.

Atticks, 0. Brandt, M. Britton, A. Heeter, P. Hoffeditz, D. Hosfield, E.
Weast, T. Zeigler, L. Millard, G. Meredith, A. Hoke.
The heavy fall o f snow has prevented the completion o f the
games scheduled; so the senior and freshman classes are tied for
first place. It is hoped that an earlier start can be made next year
and that a larger number o f games will be played.
Girls’ Basket Ball is now in progress and there will be some
very interesting games played in the near future. Normal girls are
more active than ever before in athletics and will soon rival the boys
in spirit. Such development marks a big step forward in C. V. S. N.
S. athletics fo r girls, and it is now the earnest hope o f every loyal
student that this work will be continued.
Thanks to the efficient and competent work o f the physical train­
ing instructor, Miss Conover, this progress has been made possible.

THE NORMAL LITERARY SOCIETY
Last year in the opinion o f our critic teachers, Normal had
reached its zenith, but they are glad to admit that this year we have
even surpassed our previous lesults. Therefore many good reports
have reached the office regarding Normal Society.
Our programs have been broader in that both the new and the
old members are cheerfully performing their part in making each
program a success. Our programs are appropriate to the season o f
the year and show patriotism. The Society has always had cause to
be proud of. its debates and this year it has not degenerated but
rather progressed. More prominence is being given to debating by
the girls. In all cases they have warranted a name worthy o f
mention.
The membership o f the Glee Club has swelled by the addition o f
many male voices. We have made use o f these voices not only in
Glee Club selections but also in male choruses. The orchestra is
doing splendid work and in every number rendered by it we are made
to feel that it is characterized by its old spirit o f enthusiasm.
Normal has been crippled to some extent by the loss o f the
members who have gone to the front, but despite this fact, the male
membership is large. Sorry as we are to lose our boys, we are proud
to have them serving their country. The Society has taken action

16

upon buying a service flag for the school so that all will be remem­
bered.

themselves, and proceed therefrom to tell far and wide the goodwork being done.

THE NORMAL SOCIETY GLEE CLUB
According to all records, the Glee Club o f Normal Society has
always merited great praise. This year, however, it has surpassed
all previous efforts and the results have been correspondingly super­
ior.
The first necessity for a good Glee Club is a large membership
and good attendance. There was a comparatively large membership
at the opening o f the Fall term, when the roll showed only the names
o f former members, but it was greatly increased by the addition of'
many new members who joined the Normal Society. The final roll
recorded thirty-five members. At the present time, however, we
have but thirty-three, due to the departure o f Mr. Monroe Gohrech
and Mr. Roy Kriner, who were called to serve their country.
The Glee Club became an organization during the month o f
October and has shown decided progress under the valuable leader­
ship o f Miss Adams.
Having the volume and careful preparation in practice periods,
we were enabled to attain marked success in practically every num­
ber rendered. One reason for this ascendency is due to the male
membership, which is large in comparison with the number o f boys
enrolled in the school.
New books have been selected and in a short time will be in use
by the Glee Club.
MILDRED E. CESSNA, Secretary.

THE PHILO LITERARY SOCIETY
At this, the end o f the Fall Term, we pause to take a backward'
glance over the doings o f old Philo. We find that the membership is
constantly increasing, several seniors having lately added their
names, to our illustrious1 list.
Especially pleasing to us is the good attendance o f our daystudent members. All new members are taking a very active part
in making the programs successful. This gives good promise fo r
next year. Philo has always been noted fo r its musical talent.
This is being well shown by the work o f individuals, by the orchestra,,
and by the Glee Club.

The essentially literary part o f our programs has by no means
been neglected fo r the more entertaining features, such as surprise
features, minstrels, and plays. The importance o f the position o f
critic is being more and more emphasized. It is now considered
one o f the vital offices o f the society. General debate has also be­
come a more prominent feature. Every member is doing his bit.

THE PHILO GLEE CLUB
The Philo Glee Club organized October 5, 1917. The following
officers were elected:— President, Mr. Wilbur Thrush; Secretary, Muss
Edna Spath; Librarians, Misses Romain and Esther Nell. The club
is doing better work since its organization, as there are two regular
rehearsals each week under the direction o f Miss Adams. There
are about thirty-eight enrolled and o f this number very few are ab­
sent from rehearsals. There are not as many boys in the glee club
as in former years but we are greatly encouraged by the help which
the few who do come give us. The club learns one new song each
week and sings at each meeting o f the Philomathean Literary Society.

The orchestra under the leadership o f Miss Adams is doing

in the work, this year. The orchestra plays each morning in the
chapel. This not only adds much to the singing but also gives splen­
did practice fo r the players.
The orchestra made its first public appearance at the Thanks­
giving Play, giving two pieces— “Apple Blossoms,” by K. A. Rob­
erts, and “ Kingdom o f Flowers,” by J. Ringleben, which were ap­
preciated very much by the audience.

THE PRESS CLUB
With the closing o f the Fall term the Press Club looks back over
a period o f prosperity.
The monthly meetings have been o f a most interesting type as
we have had several speakers to address us and give talks pertain­
ing to the newspaper world. Among the outside speakers' were Mr.
Scotlock o f “ The Shippensburg Chronicle,” and Monroe Gobrecht, ’18.
Mr. Scoltock gave us an interesting talk on the “Relation o f Adver­
tising to Circulation o f Newspapers.”
Mr. Gobrecht was a member o f the present senior class and a
former member o f the Press Club but is now in the service o f Uncle
Sam at Camp Meade. His talk was on the “ Everyday Occurrences
at Camp.”
The meetings this term have been attended with a great deal o f
enthusiasm and if this spirit prevails throughout the school year it
is certain that the standard will be raised even higher.
To the Alumni, faculty, and students o f the school, the Press
Club exends its most hearty wishes for a Happy and. Prosperous
New Year.

TEACHERS’ BIBLE TRAINING CLASS
A Teachers’ Bible Training Class was organized several weeks
ago under the direction o f Mrs. J. K. Stewart.
The Standard Course o f Teacher Training by Chas. A. Oliver is
being used.
The book is divided into five parts:— The Old
Testament, The New Testament, Bible Institutions and the Sunday
School, The Pupil, and The Teacher. Each part is divided into ten
lessons. As each part is completed an examination is held on that
part. On December thirteenth the class took the first examination
on the Old Testament.
There are thirty-four girls enrolled in the class at the present
time. Fourteen o f the class are seniors, ten juniors, nine sopho­
mores, and one freshman. After Christmas, the boys entered the
elass. This is the largest Bible Class in the history o f the school and
its members are very active. By the marks given in the examina­
tion, it is shown that great interest is being taken in this work by the
class.

Y. Ml C. A.
During the past four years there has never been manifested
such activity in Y. M. C. A. work in this school as is now being
Shown. We believe this increase in activity is due to two causes:
first, the type o f questions discussed, and second the inspiration re­
ceived from former members now in Army Training Camps.
The whole trend o f the programs has been toward one aim— the
discussion o f questions vital to students in Normal School. The
members o f the organization show their interest in such questions by
their readiness to lead the meetings and to express their opinions in
the general discussion which follows the talk given by the leader.
We consider the attendance at these meetings little less than
remarkable. We do not overestimate when we say we have at each
meeting from 254o 30 boys out o f a possible forty., Several o f the 40
are five day students and also nearly every week a few o f our members visit their homes.
Among the interesting topics discussed have been, “ What the Y.
M. C A Means to Me,” “ Some Mistakes I Have Made in the Past
Vear,
Jealousy in School Life,” and “ The Report o f the Delegates
on the Blairstown Meeting.”
Further credit rests also with members o f our organization, who
are now m the service o f our nation. The letters and personal chats
we have with them convince us that the Y. M. C. A. stands second
to no organization in supplying pleasure and in strengthening eourage amd morality. The following is a quotation from a speech given
by Monroe Gobrecht: “ You cannot imagine the temptations that
confront the man in khaki. You know it is natural fo r a man to
find amusement or create amusement, regardless o f whether it is
good. °r bad- There is but one place fo r a man to spend his even­
ings in camp, that is the Y. M. C. A. hut, reading books and writing
letters. I surely want to recommend the Y. M. G. A. to you as an
organization worthy o f your help. I f you want to help the boys at
the front, contribute to the Y. M. C. A. fund.”
Another schoolmate in the service says, “ I never saw a place
that presents so many temptations as the army. The Y. M. C. A is
the only organization that can get in personal touch with the men
It provides us with amusement, reminds us o f our homes and tells
us there is a hereafter.”
Knowing these facts, we members o f the Y. M. C. A. o f the
Cumberland Valley State Normal School have determined to make the
work mean more to us than ever before. We realize we are mem­
bers o f a family that will be recorded in history as the greatest bene­
factor m preserving morality since the beginning o f history.

The enthusiasm for the work o f the Young Women’s Christian
Association is increasing as the plans fo r the winter’s work are
developed.
The Thanksgiving play and the bazaar have called tor an ex­
penditure o f effort and money while the present plan o f holding the
Sunday evening meetings in the court o f the dormitory has attracted
the interest of a good proportion o f the girls.
The two great events o f the year from the financial standpoint
are the Thanksgiving play and the bazaar, fo r it is from these two
sources that we Secure the money for sending delegates to the Eagles
Mere Convention. The association expresses gratitude to the stud­
ents- and members o f the faculty who worked for the presentation o f
the play. Fifty dollars was the share o f the proceeds given to the

On December eighth, the annual bazzar was held in the school
parlors. Because o f the sugar shortage it was necessary to omit
the sale o f homemade candy. In its place several new booths were
introduced, offering hot cocoa, popcorn and nuts, a fishpond and
Red Cross articles. As usual the largest receipts came from the
fancy work, for the girls responded very generously to the request
fo r fancy articles. We are grateful to the Alumnae and to the mer­
chants o f the town for donations. The amount realized from the
bazaar was about eighty dollars.

The Sunday evening meetings held in the court seem to be less
formal than those held in the Model School and the girls take a more
active part in them. The singing is one o f the special features.

CHRISTMAS IN THE MODEL SCHOOL
Doubtless many o f the alumni and friends o f the Normal School
are wondering how Christmas was celebrated this year in the Model
School. The Christmas work in the Model School was marked by
the same economy which had to be practiced everywhere. The
seniors prepared their hand work -as usual, but it was inexpensive
and undoubtedly the more valuable for this fact. In the class rooms
there were the usual black board drawings o f Santa Claus, the
reindeer, and the holly, some o f which showed great skill and care.
In the first grade room there was an excellent model o f a Northland

scene with Santa Claus’ toy shop, and Santa Claus himself driving
away with his pack on his back. Every room had a Christmas tree,
decorated with the hand work o f the children; with paper orna­
ments and clay models in the lower grades, and with hand made gifts
in the upper grades. The Christmas exercises consisted o f carol
singing under the direction o f the seniors who have taught music,
and the presentation o f a Christmas play prepared by the ninth grade
teachers. After the exercises the tree decorations were given to the
children who had made them, so that no child went home without a
gift fo r Mother or Father. The Jack Horner pie produced half a
pound o f candy fo r each child in the school.
But the Christmas in Model School was distinctly an unselfish
season, fo r the war was not forgotten. During the fall the children
o f the higher grades knitted one sweater and nine scarfs fo r the sol­
diers, and made twenty-seven woolen hospital stockings’, They also
brought remnants o f yam from home fo r making a convalescent com­
fort fo r soldiers. This will doubtless be turned over to the Shippensburg branch o f the Red Cross Association. When the eall came
fo r contributions to the Y. M. C. A. War Fund, the ninth grade vol­
untarily responded with a pledge o f twenty dollars; which is- to be
accumulated by earning and saving. As there are only eighteen
children in this grade, the gift will call for considerable self sacri­
fice.
The seniors this year have thrown themselves into Model School
work with great enthusiasm and conscientiousness; and the results
have been correspondingly satisfactory. The Model School super­
visors express the highest commendation o f the work.

November 17.— Those who were fortunate enough to witness the
football game between the Millersville eleven and the team from Nor­
mal on the Eckles Meld last Saturday saw one o f the best games that
has been played for several years in Shippensburg. Both teams en­
tered the contest desiring to win. Each team was willing to lose all
the other games o f the season if it could win this one. Millersville
won the toss and elected to defend the southern goal. Her team,
however, failed to gain in four downs and the ball went to Normal.
Our team surprised its opponents and delighted its friends by the
way it marched down the field. In five minutes Taylor went over fo r
the first touchdown. Attempted goal failed. Millersville played
gamely but the Shippensburg boys rushed the ball down the field f o r
another touchdown from which goal was kicked. Another touch­
down was added in the second quarter and the first half closed with
the score 19-0 in favor o f Shippensburg.
Millersville came back strong in the Second half, but Taylor and
Bolan proved themselves invincible for Normal and by the end runs
and line plunges forced the ball down the field fo r two more touch­
downs from one o f which Taylor kicked a goal, the game ending
with the score 32-0 in favor o f Shippensburg. Millersville really
played a stronger game than the score indicates but they were out­
classed in every department of the game. All the visitors were im­
pressed with the splendid team work o f the Normal boys. Too much
credit cannot be given Coach Robert L. Myers, Jr:, who developed a
winning team under decidedly discouraging conditions.
November 21.— Mr. E. M. Huntsinger, o f Hagins, Pa., was a
visitor at Normal on Wednesday. The older graduates may remem­
ber Mr. Huntsinger as a student o f the school in 1875. This was his
first visit to the school since he left and he was naturally interested
in the remarkable changes in and about the school.
Mr. Roy Kriner, a member o f the senior class, was called to the
colors and left for Columbus, Ohio. He has since been sent to Wash­
ington, D. C., and expected to leave for France about the middle o f
December.
November 22.— Mrs. Herr and Miss Snively attended the Chambersburg institute last Thursday.
November 23.-— The Model School held its annual donation on
Wednesday. The children brought various articles o f food, clothing,,
etc., which will be distributed to the pupils o f the Model School who
are in want o f food and clothing.
November 24.— Dr. Lehman was in Harrisburg on Saturday at­
tending a meeting o f Normal School principals and county and

borough superintendents. This committee will consider the advisa­
bility o f a revision o f the course o f study in Normal schools.
November 29.— The Thanksgiving Day Services at the Normal
were o f unusual interest. The chapel was appropriately decorated
with flowers. A fter the singing o f a hymn Dr. Lehman, read the
President’s Thanksgiving Proclamation and a quartette sang Gounod’s
“ Praise Ye the Father,” which was followed by scripture reading and
prayer. A chorus under the direction o f Miss Adams then sang
“ Praise the Lord, 0 Jerusalem” after which Rev. Ross D. Murphy, o f
the Church o f the Brethren, delivered a very earnest and instructive
sermon. The offering, which was a liberal one, was turned over to
the poor fund o f the Model School.
The Thanksgiving dinner was probably the very best that Ml««
Eppley has ever provided. The Normal people have been “ Hooverizing” with the rest o f the country but on this occasion the ban was
lifted and all feasted on a seven course dinner. Turkey o f course
formed the principal article o f attack, but the preceding and following
courses were both appetizing and satisfying.
The Thanksgiving play “ The Twig o f Thom,” was very success­
fully rendered in the evening. The fact that the play was o f a d if­
ferent type from any before presented at the school gave added
interest to it.
The two qualities inherent in all Irish character— practicality
and mysticism— were represented in the play respectively by the hero
and the poet. The contest between these two fo r the possession o f
the heroine represented the struggle always existing between the mys­
ticism o f the old legends and the practical needs o f modem Ireland
fo r the possession o f what is best in Irish life. The hero— the prac­
tic a l-v e r y properly won the heroine, but it was the poet— the roman­
ticism, the beauty, and the mysticism o f the old legends, who quite
as properly was required to save the heroine fo r her hero. The part
o f the poet was most sympathetically played by Mr. Charles Brophy,
who embodied very picturesquly the romance and poetry so charac­
teristic o f the wandering Celtic singers. It was from Mr. Brophy’s
splendid interpretation o f the poet that the rest o f the play gathered
its predominating mystical tone. Mr. Jo Hays made an excellent
hero and successful rival for the love o f Oonah, whose part was taken
by Miss Romaine Nell. The wooing o f this charming Irish coleen by
her peasant lover was a delightful piece o f acting. The two protest­
ing old women, Miss Marguerite Fleschutz and Miss Mary Byeriy
played their rather difficult parts exceptionally well and Mr. Harper
Wentz as Father Brian was an excellent Irish priest. The scene in
which the fairy appeared was the most beautiful o f the play. Miss
Veronica McFadden, as the fairy, wove a magic spell over the hero

and heroine, dancing exquisitely and pelting the mortals with prim­
roses while an unseen harp played fairy music and a concealed voice
sang a lovely Irish fairy song. Miss Xenia Miller as the harpist and
Miss Edna Spath as the voice, were splendid fairy musicians. A
group o f lively Irish peasants including Misses Dorothy Brindle,
Mildred Crook, Olive Garber, Lela Pettigrew, Helen Brown and Mar­
garet Carothers, and Messrs. Charles Mower, Harvey Bolan, Robert
Craig, Erwin Mitchell, Wilbur LeCron and Paul Knouse contributed
materially to the success o f the play by their folk songs and dances.
The program was as follows:

Act I— Twilight on the last day o f March.
Act n — The first day o f winter o f the same year. During this
act the curtain is lowered fo r an instant, to indicate the lapse o f a
half-hour.
The director o f the play, Miss Lillian G. Trego,. deserves much
credit fo r the success o f the performance. The players showed the
results o f careful and painstaking coaching. Miss Marion Conover
directed the dances that contributed so much to the play. The
orchestra under the direction o f Miss Adams pleased the audience
and merited the applause given its selections. Misses Trego, Adams
and Conover were called to the front and presented with flowers by
Hie cast as a token o f appreciation o f their work. The lighting under
the direction o f Profs. Graham and LeVan contributed to the scenic
effects o f the changing scenes throughout the play. The costumes
were particularly appropriate and were prepared by a committee o f
which Miss Irene Huber was chairman. The net proceeds o f the play
amounting to more than $100 were divided between the Y. M. and

Unfortunately the weather was too unpleasant to permit the
game o f hockey to be played and a game o f basket ball between the
sophomore and junior class teams furnished plenty o f amusement
M'd excitement. The game was won by the juniors.
Among the guests present at the school fo r the Thanksgiving
play and the week-end were Miss Macy and Mr. Fanning o f last
year’s faculty. Both were welcomed heartily by students and faculty.
December 1. The inter-class hockey tournament opened with a
game between the seniors and juniors. Though the day was un­
pleasant a large crowd o f students was present to cheer the respec­
tive teams. After a spirited contest the seniors won by a score o f
6-1. The second game o f the tournament was played between the
sophmore and freshman teams on Thursday afternoon. This game
was, if possible, more hotly contested than the first one and was
won by the freshmen by a score o f 3-1.
December 2. The last social o f the fall term was the faculty re­
ception held in the school parlors and the gymnaisum. There was a
large attendance o f the students, as well as a goodly number of
alumni present.
December 3.— Fifteen or twenty students and members o f the
faculty went to Carlisle on Monday evening to attend the banquet
given by the Cumberland County Alumni Association. The school
was represented on the program, which was given in the opera house.
Miss Adams sang and the boys’ quartette rendered several selections
Several members o f the Thanksgiving Day Play cast gave a scene
from “ The Twig o f Thom.”
Miss Horton spent Monday at the Carlisle institute in the in­
terest o f the Normal School Herald.
The faculty was well represented on the program o f the Cum­
berland County Institute. Misses Conover and Harris and Dr. Le­
hman delivered addresses.
December 6.— The Press Club meeting held on Thursday, was
well attended. Mr. Monroe Gobrecht, formerly a member o f the
graduating class, but now stationed at Camp Meade, gave an interest­
ing account o f life in the great cantonment.
Dr. Lehman delivered three addresses' at the institute at McConnellsburg.
The Normal Society has decided to purchase a service flag fo r

donsburg; Miss Clara Hockersmith, Shippensburg; and Mr. Paul
Knouse, o f Biglerville, has been appointed to arrange fo r the pur­
chase o f the same. The action on the part o f the literary society
shows the interest o f its members in the work being done fo r the
nation by former students.
December 8.— The Y. W. C. A. Bazaar was held in the school
parlors Saturday afternoon. A fine collection o f various articles
suitable fo r Christmas presents was on sale and a nice sum was
realized.
The first basket ball game o f the season was played in the Nor­
mal gymnaisum. The Normal boys met the Alpha Club o f Waynes­
boro. The longer training and greater age o f the opposing team
proved too much fo r the Normal boys as their opponents won 18-10.
The Normal team, however, gave a fine exhibition o f team work,
especially in the second half o f the game. It is likely that the
Normal team will develop rapidly and show much strength before the
close o f the season.
December 10.— The newly appointed board o f trustees met in the
school parlor on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Dr. J. Geo. Beehtr
Sec. of the State.Board o f Education, was present to advise with the
members of the board. All the members were then sworn in and the
following organization was effected: Pres. Geo. H. Stewart, Ship­
pensburg; Sec.— Geo. S. McLean, Shippensburg; Vice Pres.— L. E.
Smith, Greencastle. Committees were appointed to draw up by-laws
fo r the meetings of the board and to arrange for other matters o f
immediate importance. The next meeting of the board will be on
Friday, January 11,1918.
December 19.— Miss Adams prepared a new departure in the line
o f Christmas music which proved very pleasing. She arranged a
carol service for Wednesday evening. The carols were sung by
students stationed in different parts o f the building. The program
was as follows:

Austin, Texas, Nov. 1, 1917.
Dr. Ezra Lehman,
Shippensburg, Pa.
Dear Dr. Lehman :
I have just received your circular o f October 1917.
Since I am located in Texas, manifestly it is impossible fo r me
to do any very active work fo r Old Normal. However, my heart is
right, and whenever I am any place where a word fo r my Alma Mater
will be o f service to her, I certainly shall always say that word. I
am particularly interested in the extension teaching work that you
are about to organize in your section o f Pennsylvania. You will
perceive from the head o f this letter that I am engaged in similar
work fo r the University o f Texas. I shall be glad indeed to hear
what you are doing and to give the man who is in charge o f ex-tensionactivities at Shippensburg thé benefit o f anything that we may
have learned here in Texas. W e are just perfecting our plans for
actual extra-mural class work in cities other than Austin. Our cor­
respondence study project has been in operation fo r a number o f
years. Last year, we had 1565 students registered fo r the cor­
respondence courses.
In passing, I might mention that I am now Head o f the Division
o f Extension Teaching in the University o f Texas. I shall be glad to
have that change in my position noted in your annual catalog. I
confess I have been somewhat negligent about keeping you all in­
formed concerning my whereabouts. It isn’t, however, that I have
not thought o f you many times during past years. I am looking
forward to 1924 to the re-union o f my class.
Please send me a copy o f the October HERALD.
Sincerely yours,
R. G. BRESSLER,
Head o f the Division.

all be glad to read it.
“ I am very glad to learn o f the growth o f the old school and am
looking forward to our class reunion o f 1920 when I shall come east.
I shall be anxious to see the improvements in the buildings. I have
not received THE HERALD but am enclosing $1.00 for which please
see that it is sent to me. I do not know who is editor or should send
the money to him.
“ When attending Valparaiso University in 1913 I learned about
Arizona and then began trying to get a position in the state but did
not succeed until 1916. In the meantime I taught in Iowa and spent
summers in other states, having lived for some time in ten. Last
year I taught the Artesia school and am now teaching a second term.
I have 33 pupils, five in eighth grade, unusual fo r Arizona as few
finish the grades, in rural schools. Last year I received $80 per
month but am now getting $87.50; the usual increase gave me $7.50
and I did not ask it. Our school system is good; teachers as a rule
are well trained; we have a larger percent o f college graduates m
■our High schools than Michigan.
“ Artesia is a new settlement at the eastern side o f Mt. Graham,
10,526 feet high. Rain and snow fall on the mountain but do not
reach us. Snow lies there until July thus keeping the temperature
lower. We have not had a real rain since October 1916. Last Wed­
nesday I took the pupils to a Circus at the county seat twelve miles
north and the alkali dust almost choked us; we wish fo r rain. The
is a sandy country, almost desert because nothing grows naturally
but cactus, mesquites and Yucca. Irrigating is done from Artesian
•wdls and tropical fruits, eotton-everything-can then be grown. The
•Gila is thirteen miles north o f us and we are 100 miles from Mexico,
An ostrich farm is not far from Salford, the county seat. This is
an ideal climate, perpetual sunshine and mild winters.

prepared and no variety. Large families live in tents. At present
I have a room in a seven roomed house and it is considered grand
here. Our school house is abode and well equipped.
“ I spent part o f vacation in Tuscon; it is a remarkable city.
The Spanish'Mission o f SanXavier founded 1692 thrills one. In the
Papago reservation one sees grinding com or rubbing it between
stones; Indians carrying melons on their heads and other old cus­
toms. I suppose you have been in Tuscon and have seen the Mission.
I made a study of both.

“ In a HER. ATT) something was mentioned about desiring a col­
lection from these states. I have always collected fo r pleasure and
now could send some things to Normal if I knew what is desired.
Will the school pay the express charges ? Please advise me what is
desired. I have the poisonous insects o f this section, can gather
flowers, have no chance to- get stones now but shall later. I may
spend next summer on the mountain or at the Normal, Flagstaff.
“ All good wishes for the success o f Normal.
I am yours respectfully
L. DAUGHERTY, 1910.”
p.S.— Failed to mention that a teacher must be a community
leader and plan social functions and there training at C. V. S. N. S.
aids one fo r -the social life there is not neglected. At first I had
difficulty in planning a Hallowe’ en Party but then remembered one at
Normal. Everybody mentioned having the most fun ever.
Is Palmer Method o f Writing taught there? I hope so as teach­
ers must have a Palmer certificate in many states. Wish we had
been required to have one before we were graduated.

23 East 34th Street,
Bayonne, N. J., Oct. 6,1917.
Dr. Ezra Lehman,
Pres. State Normal School,
Shippensburg, Penn’a.
Dear Sir,
Some time ago I received your much appreciated letter for
which I thank you. Five years have passed since I left the halls o f
Normal to begin my work in life.
With your permission I shall give a brief account o f my ex­
perience in my work during those five years. The year o f 1912-’13 I
taught at “ Monroe School,” an ungraded, rural school near Jamesburg. The salary was $500. The year o f 1913-’14 I was' principal
o f Prospect Plains Grammar School, salary $550. The year o f 1914’15 I taught in the grammar department o f the public schools o f
Hightstown, salary $575. The year of 1915-’16 I taught in Hightstown, salary $600.
During my three years in Hightstown I taught the fifth, sixth
and seventh grades in all subjects. My last year there I taught
three fifth grades of boys in Mechanical Di awing in addition to my
grade.
I am now teaching the sixth grade A in the Philip G. Vroom
School o f Bayonne at a salary o f $850. I am also teaching a class
o f seventh grade girls in the Lincoln evening school o f this city.
The evening schools began Octobe 1st. Including salary for evening
school work my yearly salary will be $978.
I am delighted with my work here and am glad to be one o f the
400 teachers o f this city. The road to success is an uphill one.
The state o f New Jersey would not accept any o f my Pennsylvania
diplomas so I was required to take twenty-five examinations to earn

a. New Jersey State Permanent Elementary Certificate. I received
this certificate July 1, 1916.
For three summers I attended the New Jersey State College
Summer School at Rutgers College, New Brunswick. During my
summers there I earned a certificate in each o f the following subjects:
Agriculture, Agricultural Arithmetic, Hygiene, Elocution, Manual
Training, Domestic Science, Elementary Physics1
, Lab. Course in
Physics and Advanced College Physics. In addition, I have com­
pleted three years o f study o f piano.
The doors o f Columbia are now standing open fo r me and the
next thing for improvement will be a series o f courses at Columbia.
You will now agree that these have been busy, profitable years fo r
me and that the lessons I have learned at Normal have been a firm
foundation upon which I am building my career.
Kindly remember me to all the members o f the faculty, especial­
ly to the dean o f 1912, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Stewart.
Sincerely,
An upholder o f the Scarlet and Gray

KEEP CLEAR OF THE BLIND ALLEYS
In one o f the largest English cities one frequently sees a sign
reading“ Blind Alley” signifying that the passage way does not lead
into any larger street, but ends abruptly.
At this time when the demand for help is so urgent in all occu­
pations it would be well fo r all our young people to look out fo r the
blind alleys,— the occupations that do not lead anywhere, that have
no future before them. There are many places open to young people
today at attractive wages that are nothing but blind alleys. They
wiU end abruptly as soon as the war and the present unusual busi­
ness conditions come to an end. Thousands o f young men and wo­
men will suddenly find themselves out o f work and they will be un­
prepared to take any positions other than those involving hard man­
ual labor.
We sound this note o f warning because so many young people
are taking short cut courses in cheap business colleges led on by the
promise o f good positions in a few months. It is possible for them to
secure these positions now, but they should understand that in a
short time when conditions readjust themselves they will lose their

THE

SCHOOL

places in favor o f those who are properly equipped fo r the work. No
young man or woman should think o f entering business life until ho
has secured a good education. The bookkeeper, typewriter and sten­
ographer whose English education is defective and who has nothing
but a meager common school education, will find too late that he is
unfitted to take his place in the hard work o f the world. He will be
forced into the great army o f the unemployed and will become one
o f the restless dissatisfied mass always found in times o f industrial'
depression.
Now is the time fo r young people to prepare themselves fo r the
great work that lies ahead o f them. The world will demand trainedmen and women after the present war. It will have splendid open­
ings fo r those who are thus equipped but it will have little time for
or patience with those unfitted to hold their own among the trained
workers. Teachers have a great responsibility upon them at this
time in advising their students against short cuts to business or pro­
fessional life. Young people should not leave school without getting
the very best education possible, as the need o f it will be more mark­
ed in the next five years than it has ever been before. Boys and
girls are too often in these days lured by attractive wages into mills
and factories and are thus induced to sell their intellectual birth­
right fo r a mess o f pottage.
The trained teacher will have opportunities such as he has never
enjoyed before. Teachers are at last coming into their own but the
teacher who abandons his or her work now because he can get a few
dollars more a week in another line o f work is very foolish indeed.
Stick to your work now and you will have no cause to regret your
decision when business- depressions- assail the country and the blind
alley occupations close to those who -have been lured into them.
Look out fo r the blind alleys.

FOOD CONSERVATION
Not only have the students and faculty at Normal been knitting,
and folding surgical dressings for the soldiers, but they have also
been heartily co-operating with the government in conserving the
food stuffs that can be sent across -to France. In order to save
pork fat, Mr. Robinson has bought a quantity o f beef tallow, which
can- be used very satisfactorily fo r shortening and fo r frying; a
vegetable cooking oil is also being substituted fo r the usual meat
fats. The students and faculty have been cautioned about the waste
o f butter in the dining room, and as a result we are using from five
to six pounds a meal, whereas before this term we used from eight
to ten pounds a meal. Besides this there are three meals a week
when gravies are served instead o f butter, so that it is- safe to say
that from eighty to ninety pounds a week are sav " The bread,

SCHOOL

HERALD

which is1 a coarser graham bread made by the baker in compliance
with government regulations, is cut into smaller pieces than hereto­
fore, and for the second serving no more is cut than is definitely
ordered, so that one fourth the ordinary amount is saved. Besides
this saving we axe having wheatless meals, nearly one a day, thus
releasing a large amount o f wheat fo r the fighters. Potatoes are
being substituted fo r wheat to some extent, many o f which are from
the crop raised by the school last summer. We have been forced to
cut down on the consumption o f sugar, and have made a very gen­
erous decrease, as can be seen by the fact that in. December 191?,
seven hundred and seventy-one pounds were used, while only four
hundred and sixty-six pounds were used in December 1917. In
much o f the cooking one-half brown sugar is used with the white
sugar. Brown sugar is also used in making syrup fo r the tables.
Two days a week are observed as meatless days, but no complaint
has been heard from the students, fo r the menus are often very
attractive.
