My dear Fellow A lum ni:
Yes, Tuesday, June 23 was a Big D ay; every feature of- it
was b ig : the parade of th^classes wijh every class represented
from ’7:$, to T4 was an inspiring sight, Then, too, who of you
that were present will forget the speeches with their appeal for
the Greater Shippensburg. You were: undoubtedly impressed by
the enthusiasm that pervaded the Alumni hp§t.s. It was in the.
air, it was everywhere. Altogether it was a splendid gathering,;
long to be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to take
part in it.
Probably the keynote of the gathering was mutual helpfu li
ness. Every one seemed to recognize that the growth and ad­
vancement of the'school-Jwere very clogely interwoven with the
growth and advancement of the individual Alumnus. The school
is anxious and willing to help you to bptter things,|iii(it we must
have your active co-operation if this feature of our work is to be
made really, effective. During June rpany principals and supeifi
intendenf|', not to mention directors, wpote to us asking us to rec­
ommend graduates for good positions^ Very often we were un­
able to furnish an applicant for the place because we did not have
the necessary data at hand. It is for this reason that I am ap-

pealing to all the Alumni to help make this work more effective.
If you are desirous of securing a better position, write to us
giving full information as to the kind of work that you desire,
your qualifications for the work and the lowest salary that you
would accept. Be sure to give us full directions for communi­
cating with you promptly. Then when you are informed by us
of a vacancy it is very necessary that you act promptly. A num­
ber of good positions were lost by our graduates this year be­
cause of lack of prompt action. If you don’t care to accept the
place notify us just as promptly as possible so that we may rec­
ommend somebody else. If you are elected to the place, notify
us of this fact so that we may know that you are located for the
year. In case you do not obtain the position it is just as import­
ant that you give us that information so that we may help you
elsewhere.
When you are elected to a new position we shall be glad to
help fill the one to be vacated by you.
W e are frequently asked by teachers;’ agencies to furnish
good men. The managers of these agencies complain that too
often they do not receive any response from those to whom they
write. You will realize that courtesy alone requires a prompt
acknowledgment of letters of this kind. If our Alumni will help
us along these lines we can greatly increase the usefulness of the
school.
And now just one little matter: It is a simple thing to en­
close postage stamps when writing for any favor, but it is a mat­
ter that is sometimes forgotten. The school is very willing to
do everything in its power to help you to a position without any
cost to you, but the sight of a postage stamp enclosed in a letter
makes a good impression upon us, as we realize that our gradu­
ates have probably been just as mindful of their duties in bigger
things???
So let us all work together to help one another and by so
doing we shal realize “ the Greater Shippensburg" toward which
we are all looking.
****
Didn’t we tell you it ’ud be great!
W ell! yes well. Some just
couldn’t come. Those we pity from the bottom o f our hearts. Some
didn’t come, and they’re sorry for themselves: Yes we know you won’t
let it happen, again; we believe you sir.

W E C E L E B R A T E S H A K E S P E A R E ’S 350th B IR T H D A Y

: On April 23rd with thousands of otherfichools dll over the
world we observed the 350th anniversary of theríbirth of the
“ Bard of Avon.”
In our English classes we had dramatized Shakespeare’s
Merchant of Venice, Macbeth, and parts from A Midsummer
Night’s Dream. In order to know his poetry we had read aloud
to our classes many of his erquisite sonnets. “ Our Memory—
Gem A Day— Club” had committed some of his-sonnets to
memory, and we had studied the life of the poet who ranks
first in all tongues. So we were well prepared to render a pro­
gram in his memory and to enjoy the numbers.
The exercises were held in the chapel at 2 o’clock on Thurs­
day afternoon, April 23rd. All the classes were in attendance;,
some of the advanced classes from the Model School came u p ;
and many o f the parents and friends o f the school were on hand
to help us do honor to Shakespeare’s memory. All of us had de­
termined that the program should show as many sides o f this
many-sided man as possible. So with the help of Miss Hubbel
of the Department of Vocal Music and Dr. Lehman, who has
had so much experience in staging Shakespeare’s plays, we sang
songs, read sonnets, and dramatized two scenes from “A Mid­
summer Night’s Dream.” The program as we gave it follows.

Delivered by Dr. Ezra Lehman in Normal Chapel

Members of the Graduating Class, Ladies and Gentlemen:
When I was called to the principalship of this school a year
ago, I came to it with certain definitely conceived .ideas as to the
work of a Normal school. But I preferred to postpone my for­
mal expression of these ideas until I had opportunity to put
them to the test to find out whether they were practical, suited
to the conditions that obtain in our educational life in Pennsyl­
vania.
I now come to you at the conclusion of a year’s service
during which I have tried to test, these ideas. I come to report
not achievement but progress toward the goal, not realization
o f aims, but a firmer conviction that, the ideal before us is both
possible and practical,
I want to talk to you my young friends, who are now to go
out into the active work of life, about the place a normal school
holds in a system of education, that you may more clearly under­
stand, what we expect of you who now become the representatives
of the Normal School System: I want to discuss this question
with the friends of the school here assembled, because I am anx­
ious that they should understand and report to their respective
communities the nature of the work that this institution stands
pledged to do.
Nearly every writer on educational topics has attempted
to formulate a definition of education very often the attempt is
made to show what etymologically education ought to mean;
but the question is a practical rather than an etymological one;

6

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

for a system of education is the effort of a community, a state or
a nation to realize an ¡Edpal. If its ideal in the past was military
supremacy, it bent its system of education to that end; if today
it is social efficiency, it should aim to secure that result.
It is almost universally recognized that every profession has
two sides^-tha§fiof science and that of art. A physician must
understand physiology, anatomy, hygiene— in short he must
know the science o f medicine, but he must also understand how
to set a broken bone, how to perform a surgica|fjoperation— in
short he must learn the art—ttthe practice of medicine before he
is -a skillful practitioner. Formerly he learned this by actual
practice, by a trial and experiment process but today the medical
world demands that he shall acquire the art in a hospital under
skilled direction before he is permitted to practice. I may know
every phase of the science of electricity, but I may be unable to
wire -your house or even equip it with a door bell and battery
until I have learned the art side of electricity. I will learn it
more quickly because I know the laws of electricity, but for all
that you will not hire me until I have worked with a master who
understands how to do things.
Originally the world, especially the business world, was more
concerned with the doing of things than with the mastery of
principles underlying the doing. Manufacturers took boys and
young men into their establishments as apprentices to learn the
how of manufacturing. It w as' expected that the apprentice
would spoil much that he undertook to do, but the world recog­
nized that no other way of learning than that of imitation, of trial
and failure, until through failure success was achieved. But
the sharp economic struggle of the nineteenth century brought
home the tremendous waste involved in this method. Men be­
gan to understand that a knowledge of the principles underlying
manufacturing was! necessary: the skilled workman must un­
derstand the why as well as the how. The colleges and technical
schools introduced scientific courses: the chemical properties of
metals were studied; the structural value of iron, wood and of
stone were investigated; the principles underlying all kinds of
labor were emphasized Sand young men were graduated from
schools and colleges as engineers, overseers and managers. But
again it was.found that the difficulty had not been solved: the
young men were theorists ; too often impractical, unable to adapt

themselves to the varying conditions they were called upon to
meet. Many prominent publicists urged a return to the old ap­
prentice system, but those more thoughtful began to ask whether
it is not possible to combine science and art in a system of edu­
cation to master the why and the how. The answer to this has
been a complete reorganization of technical education: the stu­
dent masters the principles and then goes to the shop, or labora­
tory attached to the school or working in harmony with it and
tries the principles he has studied. Young men no longer study
merely how to build bridges ; they build them. They work on
railroads with surveying corps. Clean hands and spotless cloth­
ing are no longer regarded as the only marks of gentility: our
boys study scientific agriculture but they also farm : our girls
not only study the chemistry of cooking, but they cook— and
bake— and still more surprising what they cook and bake can act­
ually be eaten— is decidedly appetizing.
What then is the part of the Normal School in this modern­
ized scheme o f education? The Normal School may justly claim
that it was a pioneer in this type of education. It raised its
voice nearly a half century ago to declare that .science and art
are inseparable in practical life ; it asserted that there was both
a science and an art o f teaching; and that a knowledge o f both
was necessary to the successful teacher. The Normal School
urged that if a knowledge of the materials with which he worked
wasi necessary to the builder who worked with stone and iron or
brick or marble»Ya knowledge o f his. materials was still more
necessary to the man who worked with immortal minds and fash­
ioned them for good or evil for all eternity. It declared that the
teacher should know the subject matter he attempted to teach,
but that he should also know how to teach it. It objected to
the employment of young people without experience who must go
into the school room, and through a course of experiments find
out how to teach. The Normal school system had its enemies
who antagonized it openly ; it had those who stabbed it in secret
because they realized that with the adoption of its standards
their occupation would be gone. But the system has triumphed;
it has seen the ideas it represented accepted by nearly every pro­
fession. What then is its place in the modern scheme of educa­
tion ? I conceive that the answer must b e : The Normal School
still exists primarily for the preparation o f teachers, but as the

8

THE

NORMAL

SCHOOL

HERALD

office of teacher has been magnified:—as his responsibilities have
been increased, soThe work of the Normal School has been en­
larged and increased. This means that the Normal School must
meet the changing ideas and ideals in education. More and more
the duties that formerly belonged to the home and the church
areffieing forced upon the schools.. W e may regret that changing
economical conditions which make both father and mother wage
earners, place the physical and moral as well as the intellectual
education of the child upon the School; but we cannot change
economic conditions, or let the children go without guidance. W e
may wish that the church and the Sunday School could assume
the moral and ethical training of the boys and girls o f our cities
and towns, but the fact remains that, in our' large cities more than
one-third of the children are not under the beneficial effects of
church or Sunday School. The school through its organized
machinery must assume a large share in this ethical training
or the young will drift into schools of vice open everywhere.
The Normal School then must recognize these changed con­
ditions and train its students to meet them. The Normal School
must care for the intellectual development of it students. Its
course of instruction must be thorough; it must see to it that
the students who leave its walls are well grounded in the common
school branches, the foundation of all successful endeavor. Its
scope of instruction must mean familiarity with languages be­
sides one’s own. It must unlock the sciences to the students and
teach them the Story of animate and inanimate creation: it must
trace the development of the great nations of the w orld: it must
deal with mathematics— but above all it must open the great lit­
erature of the English-speaking nations to every student. Sure­
ly no man or woman who would teach your child or mine should
have less than this equipment Surely too it is the least that the
state can give its future citizens— if they are to be proficient,
prosperous and happy. Much if not all of this work,the public
school can give, and I believe that it is the duty of the Normal
School to give credit to work that has been efficiently done in
the High Schools of the first grade in our towns and cities and
give credit to the students from schools o f lower grades for the
work that such schools are able to do thoroughly; but no school
short of the first grade can teach the advanced sciences adequate­
ly and seldom can these schools give (Sufficient time to literature.

history and language. Thé time may come when through more
systematic teaching and better équipment, High Schools may be
able to relieve Normal Schools of the academic work they are
compelled to do ; but that time is not yet come and until it does
come the Normal School must be prepared to give thorough in­
struction in all the branches of the elementary and the High
School curriculums. Thèse branches must be taught with spec­
ial reference to";the fact that the majority o f the students will
teach them in turn'to qjhersT. The method of teaching in a Nor­
mal School must be thoroughly pedagogically sound.
But the Normal School must give more than an academic
education ; it must recognize that teaching is a profession based
on certain laws as definitely apprehended as those upon which
law or medicine is based. The teacher must know the nature of
the mind to be educated. He must know the laws of mental
growth, the relation o f mind and body, the method o f dealing
with the abnormafpchild— in short he mush* know psychology,
not as an abtruséfciencif but as a subject1to be mastered and ap­
plied in his: daily work as a teacher. He must know the best that
has been thought and written by the great teachers o f the world
he must know what ideals have dominated in the history of the
past and he must know wherein those ideals were defective in
the light of experience. These branches and all others necessary
tb effective teaching must be in the curriculum of the Normal
SchooK 1'
Again the Nromâl School must be a great experimental
school where new theorieÿm education and new methods of
instruction are tried out. It must test, in the light o f psychology
and pedagogy, the widely varying theories as to the best methods
of teaching, reading, spelling, arithmetic, etc. It should try these
oüt and should be able to show definite results to the teachers
and superintendents in the district. The Model School should
represent the product of all that is good in education, the survival
of the1fittest under the guidance of skilled teachers who make
constant1inspection of the work that is here done by the student
teachers.
These then are two important duties of the Normal School—
to provide sound academic instruction and to provide for pro­
fessional training. Surely these are important enough to justify
the existence of the Normal School. But there are still other duties;
incumbent upon it. Since teaching means more than imparting;

10

SCHOOL

knowledge, the Normal School must train its teachers to be
socially efficient men and women—,teachers in the social life o f
their community— in short it must train those who are to be
teachers how to live completely. It must then give instruction
in manual training so as to coordinate hand and brain. It must
train the young woman how to cook, to bake, to set a table,
to adorn a house with proper pictures and statuary, how to sew :—
in short to do all the things that a woman ought to be able to do
in the care of her household. I believe it should go further and
not neglect those duties that are associated with motherhood
and the care of children, for in these days— when we hear so
much about the emancipation of woman, let us emphasize the fact
that real emancipation for woman lies through her ability to do
well the duties that nature and society recognize as essentially
womanly. Think my friends what it means to your children
to be under the care of a woman so trained as distinguished
from one whose knowledge of life is limited to a few books
partially mastered. Since agriculture enters so largely into the
life of our people it should enter into their education. It is the
business of the Normal School ¿to give thorough, practical
instruction to the students so that they may go out prepared
to teach this subject properly in their school® School gardens
will soon be a part of every sch ool: the Normal School should be
alert to its opportunities. It should know and promulgate the
results of the experiments that the government has made. In
, short the Normal School must train for social efficiency.
The Normal School must demand a high standard of life
and living from its; students. The faculty of a Normal School
must be men and women of a high type, of broad views and wide
sympathies; they must not measure their labors by hours or
days; they must be free from petty jealousies that destroy clear­
ness' of vision; their highest desire must be service. They
must be an inspiration to the students, who must themselves
catch, a glimpse of the vision; must be able to see the pos­
sibilities open to the unkempt boy and the slow thinking girl:
who can face discouragement with a cheerful smile and still look
forward for better things. The Normal School must recognize
. that its duty is not to prepare for teaching, but to guard the
children of the state from men and women who are impure or
vicious. Certainly no principal of a Normal School has a moral

THE

N O R M A L ' %S C II O 0 L H E R A L, D

üa

right to append his name to a diploma of a teacher guilty of the
use of intoxicating liquor or who is impure in life. So I assert
that it is the business, of the Normal School, to placé the profes­
sion of teaching on a high mo|j|l plane. In doing this the Nor- ,
mal School must not; demand monastic,seclusion on the, part of
its students. It must recognize that they are, social beings des­
tined to take an active part in the work of society. Men and wo­
men will mingle together in rfal life: in like manner so should
the students mingle in a school whose great aim is not only to
teach ¿ m p le t e fe in g i but to. teach others as, well how to.live
'.completely. For this reason the Normal School must attend
to the social life of itsystudents ; it mus|irisist upon that conduct
and relation between the sexes that characterize the real lady
and gentlemen. This cannot b £ secured by prohibiting young,
men and women from meeting together socially, from talking to -(
gether or mingling upon the campus under the oversight of the
faculty. Over,'attention to social matt^ B in school life in al­
ways to be :Condemned but scarcely less short sighted is a sys­
tem of education tirât goes to the other side and negleçts/pt al­
together. The easier method of discipline is to forbid all social
meeting between students,, but we believe it is shirking a respon­
sibility that a training school must assume. It is hard to unde..-^
stand the attitude o f parents and educators who, while recogniz­
ing- the "social instinct as present in every child, flatter them­
selves that they-can d en ^ itj^ expression at will. Experience
proves that where sedusiop or segregation of the;sexes is in­
sisted upon there are clandestine meetings with constant scan­
dals,, because the whole idea of sex relationship has been misu n d e rst§ d & y young men and women. Is it. not far K i Ui _
to produce in the -School as far as possible the social life of the
community into which the -students are soon to enter ?.
So my friends I believe it is the business, of the Normal
School to. set,' that its students are given a thorough, education,
in academic. rSUbjectsIp to provide professional training,.in the
“science and art jf f teachings to:investigate,Thoroughly all new
plans or,systems of education; to guard the mopulsripf.the teach­
ing profession and « g i v e that social training that is necessary Hr
every man or woman. Surely,the Normal School has an import­
ant place in our modern system of education.
.And new, Members, of the .Graduating Class,yl congratulate^

you know the fact that you have finished four years o f labor and
stand in this presence, the first representatives of the four year
course in this school. While I congratulate you on the com­
pletion of this campaign, I call upon you to enlist for another
war— a war against ignorance, vice and their attendant evils.
The campaign will be a long one, and your progress will often be
impeded by difficulties you must meet and overcome. Trials and
discouragements will meet you but you are enlisted in a campaign
in which you must persevere or confess yourselves unworthy of
the trust reposed in you. In such a cause “ To doubt would be disloyalty
To falter should be sin.”
Go on. You bear the banners of the old school; your num­
bers are not many, but to you the community looks with special
interest 'because you are the first to bear the banners of the Ad­
vanced Course. A K rge class will follow you next year and
others will crowd after y o u : but this is your day of triumph.
The o ld ’school welcomes you to the ranks of the Alumni. You
bear the hope, the good wishes of your Alma Mater. May suc­
cess and happiness crown all your labors.

The year 1913-14 has been a very successful one for Normal
Literary Society, both in its literary work and from a financial
point o f view. The attendance has been good and the programs
have been well rendered.
Those who took part in the Reunion proved themselves very
capable entertainers. At our last meeting, we were glad to have
many members of the Clio Society join us. Officers for next year
were elected and inaugurated.
It is of all importance to the society and to each member
that he takes his part every time, and gives it careful preparation.
Many of our greatest men have received their most valuable
training in Literary Societies just like Normal.
Let us all try to make next year the “ best ever” in the his­

As the school year nears it’s close we can look back over a
comparatively successful year in our society...
The work on the whole has been of the.same nature as has.
been done in previous years, but there seems to be a new spirit
springing up among our members. There has been more in­
terest shown in the quality of the work that has been done than
in the quantity. The members have tried more and more to make
the work of practical value.
On the first Friday of May, we had our thirty-eighth an­
nual reunion; as usual an enthusiastic interest was shown in the'
fete; many persons who came to the chapel were turned away on
account of the crowded conditions. The Honorable Arthur R.
Rupley of Carlisle was President, and Mrs. Emily S, ClevergSS,
of Shippensburg was Secretary for the occasion.
During the year interest has been manifeste'®n the society
by the former members as well as the present inen 1bers,.v.i1any of
the former members have visited us throughout the year. Mr'.,
Clyde; Zeigler, TO, of Carlisle, presented t h e » i e t ^ w i t h a por­

May Day Games

May day games and dances o f the Model School gave us
grown-ups a most delightful afternoon on Thursday, May 28th.
Prof. Snyder, Physical Director, assisted by Miss Nelda Hummel
T5, had spent many days in preparing the little ones for the
great day;
/T here was horizontal bar work by three’s; there were races
of many kinds’ for the larger boys; there were contests for the
larger girls; there were dances: for the little folks; songs,; and
play-ground games that the mere uninitiated may not even try to
describe. Every part did credit to the little people and those
who trained them in the delightful exercises.
Mothers and babies were present to see their older'children
show .their skill. Even some busy fathers came, with older
brothers and sisters. The student body, was grouped about,
while on the school verandas were seated the faculty ;and their
guests.
The ¡concluding and gran#;? event o f the afternoon was the
beautiful Máy-pole dance., A photographer was there, but he
could, not take the children in action. So you will have to be
contented with this; pft)r word story of this great day for the
little people of Cumberland Valley, State Normal School.

Graduating Exercises

Under the skillful training of Miss Idf| Sitler o® ¡the De­
partment of Biology, the graduating Hass of the Model School
gave a mqst delightful play called “ Carroty Nell.“ The play
this year was given in the Normal School Chapel in order to ac­
commodate those who wished to see, and even the chapel was tax­
ed to seat all who came. Every member of the .cast played his
part well, from the name part to the most unimportant member;
and they received well deserved applause. At the last curtain the
audience insisted on giving them a vigorous curtain call, to
which they gracefully responded -with the ease o f actof| born.

Trip to Carlisle Indian School and the State Capital

As a crowning treat Miss Mary »11arris, .Principal o f the
Model School, took the graduating class on a most delightful
information jaunt down the yalley to Caffisle where the clas|l
saw all that is of interest' at the great Carlisle Indian S ch ool;
then on to Harrisburg to look through our magnificient State
Capital.

“ He w orks.in mysterious ways” .has been brought home
to the mind of every boy in school this year. When the fall term
opened the outlook for effective work for his kingdom seemed
well nigh impossible. O f the strong workers in the Y . M. C. A.
ranks most had been graduated or had been compelled to drop
out to earn more money. But He raised up new workers in His
cause. Boys rose to the occasion and developed an earnestness
unlooked' for. The work prospered beyond anything anyone
could expect. New leaders came to the front and assumed com­
mand.
The spirit was contagious, and others came to help.
As a result of the year’s effort the manly spirit o f our Y . M. C. A.
reached out on all sides and touched lives we had never thought,
could be influenced.

Numbers have been added during the year. Practically
every boy in the school has affiliated. One great step in our
school needs was helped forward by Dr. Lehman and the Board
o f Trustees; we did not have a recreation room where we could
meet in friendly chat, play games, and sing songs; but that
need has been met. Dr. Lehman secured for us a large room on
third floor, had it furnished with comfortable furnishings, and
supplied with games for our times of relaxation. The room
has been in the care o f the Y. M. C. A. for its right conduct,
observance of recreation hours, keeping out of too boisterous
fun, and care of furnishings. It has worked well in every way,
and we hope to add during the coming year to its equipment arid
its usefulness. W e already have on the walls pictures of many o f
the teams that have brought honor to our school on the Basket
Ball floor and on the Base Ball field. W e hope to add others
during the next year, and to make its walls a place for school
trophies.
W e have sent two o f our boys to the Northfield Conference,
J. Roy Hoke,’ 15, and Gilbert Quickel, T6. Our cabinet is a
strong working body; larger number of boys will be with us
next year jS and we shall be ready to help them to help them­
selves to better things.

On May 10, 1914, our new cabinet officers were installed
by our Principal, Dr. Lehman. Since that time the new officers
•have been leading the meetings. Our Sabbath evening meetings
have been devoted to the study of the “ Women of Ancient Is­
rael.” W e made a special study of “ Ruth,” and “ Rebecca.”
The Association has held several social affairs this term.
It held two spelling bees in the Model school on Friday evenings.
Both faculty and students participated in the spelling and fun.
On June 13, 1914, we held a strawberry social on the campus.
Strawberry Sundaes, ice cream cones, and candy were on sale.
The most enjoyable feature of this year’s work is the trip
to Eagles Mere. Five o f the Cabinet members and one member
of Faculty are going to the East Central Student Conference at

Delivered on C. V . S. N. S. Campus Tuesday Afternoon

Fellow Members of the Alumni :
On a repent trip to Pittsburgh, a reporter, who had discov­
ered that I was associated with a Normal School, asked for an interview-Aand as he took out pad and pencil, he asked, “ Where is
the Cumberland Valley State Normal School?” With an inspira-,
tion born of the moment, I answered : “ It is in the Alaskan for­
est with Weigle, with James Hoover in Borneo as he bears the
message of civilization to Dyaks and Chinese, it is in China with
Hykes, in St. .Petersburg with Menallen, in Southern Africa
with Cort, it Hi?in every state of the U. S. ; in almost every coun­
try of the globe.” Yes my friends the school i||wherever there
is a man or a woman whose thoughts are today turned in loving
remembrance toward the Old Home on the Hill. The old build­
ing is here. Forty years ago— these, men and women whom the
school delights to honor today— the class of ’74,- --stepped forth
from this building located at the extremity of a rock ridged cam­
pus. Today eight buildings' dot our campus and we proudly
point to them and challenge any Normal School in the Common­
wealth to equal us in beauty of location or surpass us in all that
makes for material comfort.
My friends of the class of ’74, did you dream forty years ago
that when you should return in the years to come you would
find your numbers increased one hundred fold? W e are today
more than 2,500 strong, a magnificent body of men and womeiljj
representing every profession and calling that stands for the
elevation andjuplift of a humanity.
As I look over our muster role, I realize that many who wore
the red and blue have been mustered out òf the militant army
into the arm y triumphant. As I recall what splendid men and
women the majority of those were it seems to me that our Great

20

SCHOOL

Commander must have chosen and called them to be a part of
the great host that surrounds his throne in the life elysian.
But as I turn the pages of newspapers and magazines from
day to day and meet names familiar to me by long association
with the records of Old Normal, I realize how large a part you,
my brothers and'sisters of this school; are playing in the affairs
of the world, and I find myself exulting in the thought that no
matter how far other principals who have preceded me may have
surpassed me in other respects, I alone of all of them can proudly
say, “ I am one of you.”
But whatever feeling of pride may spring from the recog­
nition of this exclusive' privilege is humbled by the recognition
of the responsibility attendant' upon leadership in this instittution. You have a right to expect that he who shall be the head
of this institution shall be a man of wide vision and broad sym­
pat hi est ha t he. shall know the problems that our boys and
girls are forced to m eet; the difficulties and discouragements
that they- must encounter in their efforts to get an education.
Your leader should be one who knows the public school system
and is in sympathy with its aims; who is alert to its possibilities,
who sympathizes with every young teacher fighting her battle
in the most ojfjscure corner of her county and who is anxious to
make the old school a power and an influence for good in the
State. 1le should be a man whose willingness to serve is limited
only by time and: physical endurance.
; I say to you my Bellow Alumni that it is the recognition of
your right to demand these qualifications of him who stands at
the head, of this school that checks any feeling o f undue exult­
ation todaiy. Realizing how far my performance lags behind
my ideals I can only say to you that during the past year I have
tried to realize in some degree the ideal I have held before you.
I announc^Sa year ago that I would not be satisfied until this
school was second to none in the commonwealth. From that
declaration I will not abate one syllable. Assisted by a loyal
faculty, encouraged by a Board of Trustees giving time and effort
freely tojiaid us in our work, I believe we have gone forward.
In §}i humility, I am willing to -'trust oill -case to the superin­
tendents, the principals,J the teachers, to this community, and last­
ly, but by no means least, to the student body o f the school it­
self.

Your generous;?.encouragement, my friends, has been most
helpful. I appreciate the kind words; that you have spoken,
but still more the splendid help that so many have given in se­
curing a strong student body. I f it were not invidious I should
like to commend individually the work of less than two score of
our Alumni who sent us more than 75 students this year and en­
abled us to raise our attendance, above that of last year in spite
of the fact that there is a difference of more than 75 in the size
of the senior class of the two years.
I want to thank you my friends- who responded so magnificiently to the appeal sent forth; and assure you that your
work is not forgotten and that we stand ready to help you in
every possible way for the service you have rendered; I call up­
on you my fellow Alumni who may have allowed the fires of your
enthusiasm to cool in the years that have elapsed since you have
left Normal. I call upon you I say, to go from this magnificent
rally of the sons and!/daughters of pur foster-mother with a
renewed determination to engage actively in? the service of the
school to fill our dormitories and class rooms with the young men
and women o f our community, A word frpm you in favor' of
the Old School will often be the deciding factor with them in
choosing their school home.. W on ’t you speak for us a id help
us make the olid, school what it must be— second to none in in­
fluence and pow er!
It was my privilege to address' ten county "institutes and
fifteen high school commencements during the past year. ■ At
these places I have had the privilege of meeting many of you
personally. It has also been my pleasure to address the County
Alumni Associations, and I want to tell you how much I ap­
preciated the fine spirit exhibited there.
Fellow Alumni, if we will only realize the possibilities open
to us we can unitedly make this school the institution that it
ought to be that it must be if it is to hold the place in the com­
munity life that a great school should hold. Let us make the old
school so famous that when its name is pronounced we shall feel
a thrill of pride to remember that it is our Alma Mater.

great an event, but we were disappointed to find a small field not
to be compared with the magnificent grounds of some o f the other
great English schools. W e expressed our surprise to the guide
who exclaimed “ Ah, I see you don’t know the Eton men. They
take so much out of the old place that they give a good account
of themselves wherever they are in the world.” Then I found my
mind traveling across the waters to the place where, as a farmer’s
boy twenty-five years before I had begun my work as a student
and I remembered how the uncouth manners were gradually im­
proved and how the narrow views of life were broadened under
the influence of the men and women who formed the faculty of
the school. I found myself repeating the old guide’s words “ They
take so much out of the old place that they give a good account
of themselves wherever they are in the world.” I remembered
that it was in Old Shippensburg that I had first caught a glimpse
of the world with its great possibilities and I realized how much I
had taken from the old place. My friends, think what the old
school has meant to you, of the start in life that it gave, the
wider vision that it opened to you. As you think with gratitude
of these things you will not help enlarge its usefulness by “ giv­
ing a good account of yourselves wherever you are in the w orld?”

A later date this year brought fair weather and a large
crowd to this the forty-first celebration of the Normal Literary
Society. By experience of former years it was found advisable
to have the big time at a later date. Usually the Normalites had
encountered bad weather at their reunion time; and they had
also found difficulty in preparing their program because the date
came so soon after the Spring Vacation. This year every thing
was exactly right; the later date afforded time for preparation
o f a splendid program, and the weather was delightful.
When the great evening came the chapel was filled from
front to rear with a happy crowd o f students, alumni members,
and friends o f the society. Every number was successfully given
by members of the society. Credit for the excellence of the pro­
gram is due to the workers in Normal and to the teachers who
helped perfect those taking part.

On May 1st Philomatheans from far and.near wended their
way'ftack to old Normal School to honor the society of their
choice when they were lads and lasses in other days.
Not a thing had been left undone to make the reunion a
happy and entertaining- one. Committees had worked early and
late in every kind of preparation for the, reunion. Flowers
bloomed on purpose for decoration, and there were those who
gathered them. When the d ooi# opened at seven-thirty the
chapel was a transformed-enchanted-bloom-laden chapel that
had thrown off its everyday expression to smile a welcome.
, P h ilo. was honored in having Hon. Arthur R. Rupley,
United States Congressman-at-Large preside.
Gracing the
platform with Mr. Rupley was Mrs. F.miljf S. Clever of the Class
of ’88. The President’s address was a message on ideals from the
busy man of affairs,to the student; and the audience followed
every word with closest attention.
. The program was quite up to the standard of excellence set
by preceding reunions. Every member was roundly applauded,
and at the close those taking part were congratulated by many

Never before have we had so great a treat as the Clifford
Devereux Out-Door-Shakespearian Company gave us on Thurs­
day, June 4th. Mr. Clifford Devereux and Miss Grace Fisher
with their strong supporting company gave two of Shakespeare’s
plays before large audiences in the afternoon and evening. The
afternoon play was “ As You Like It.” In the evening“ Twelth
Night” with its beautiful scenery of woody bower delighted us.
Yes, of course, some liked one better than the other; but all
agreed that they liked them both.
All our plans were made to have the plays on the campus
under the old trees'; but we planned without the weather depart­
ment, for the “ gentle rain from heaven’Ljust simply flooded this
Valley all afternoon. The opportunity was afforded to be “ game”
and to show our optimism; so we brought “ Birnam wood to
Dunsinane” after this, manner, some Sophomore *boys hewed
him down a bough and bear’t before him (Act. V.— Scene IV.,
Macbeth). W e transformed the chapel stage into the forest o f
Arden; we forgot!the heated room ; and in our imaginations we
sat in the cool shades of the forests o f England in the long ago.
T oo fewfjsuch opportunities such as this come to our stu­
dents. So, already,. Dr. Lehman has entered into negotiations
with the same company for next year.

BASE BALL

In reviewing the base ball season one cannot help but feel
that the boyS'representing the Normal were very successful.
T he schedule of games was one o f the hardest played. Not a
game could be considered won until it had been played and the
last man was out. Credit for the season’s work must be given
Coach Snyder and his efficient work in drilling and coaching
the boys in team work1. With only four of last years varsity in
.school and a very small number of boys; to choose from the
problem confronting the coach was indeed difficult. Hard work
and co-operation between the members of the team and coach
solved the problem in a satisfactory manner.

THE

NORMAL

The weakest spot was in the catching department and in
order to bolster up that important position the team had to be
shifted several times during the season. When shifted to new
positions the boys worked faithfully to carry out instuctions
and to become familiar with the new duties; and this willing­
ness on their part was very encouraging to the coach and the
management.
The first game was a practice game with the Shippensburg
Y. M. C. A. and resulted in an easy victory for Normal, 18 to 1.
Baltimore City College was next and they arrived fresh
from a victory over Mercersburg Varsity. The boys put up
a splendid game and Baltimore succumbed 9—5.

W yom ing Seminary with an older and more experienced
team gave us our first defeat in a game replete with hitting and
loose playing— score' 11:—8i
May 16th the boys journeyed to Mercersburg and poor head
work and errors on our part lost us the game 7— 4. In this game
the boys had a record of nine stolen bases,
Our ancient enemy Conway Hall gave us our next defeat
after going'into extra innings. Errors in the field were again
responsible. Score 4— 3. The following week, however, we
secured revenge as the boys journeyed to Carlisle and trimmed
Conway by a score of 8— 6. The features of the game were the
hitting of Barnhart and the fielding of Lehman and Cocklin.
Team work was pre-eminent, the boys not only working the
.squeeze play but also the double squeeze.
On Decoration Day, Millersville Normal after a splendidly
played game won a doubtful victory by a score o f 5— 3.
A team from Chambersburg was next on the list, but for
some unknown reason they failed to put in appearance..
The big game with Bloomsburg Normal was played on June
10th. Team work won this game for Normal. W ith the game
half over and Bloomsburg leading 6— 4 the boys rallied,sand in
one big inning tallied five runs and put the game on ice. In

Examinations came on and baseball stopped. Nothing was
done until Tuesday of Commencement week when the Alumni
was to be played. Rain unfortunately put a stop to this game
when Normal came in for its half of the third inning. The score
stood SL—2 in favor of Normal when umpire Roily Smith called
the game.

F IE L D D A Y

On Monday afternoon of Commencement a field meet was
gotten up for the benefit of the school Y . M. C. A. It proved
to be a very Successful and interesting event. The boys en­
tered the different numbers on the program with no training,
but what they lacked in that direction they made up in spirit.
The merchants of the town were appealed to for prizes for the
different events and responded cordially and heartily.
The distinctive feature o f the day was Barnhart’s work in
the pole vault, he clearing the bar successfully at 9 ft. He
undoubtedly could have cleared 10 ft., and possibly more, but

Banquet to the Senior Class

The Trustees and Faculty followed their usual custom
of giving us a flying start on the happy Commencement-weekWay. O f course, each year the banquet is the best ever given;
but this year there were additional reasons : the Senior Class,
the first one to be graduated from the Four Year course, was
small in number; again, the “ Department of Good Eatsjg was
new and had a reputation to establish. At any rate the banquet
was fine ; the room beautiful in class colors ; everybody was in
prime banquet-moòd; and we were off on the Forty First Com­
mencement week.
Dr: Lehman and, Mrs. Eldon led the way to the dining room.
There followed the wise and very dignified faculty and the beau­
tiful and handsome members of the Class of 1914. Dr. Eldon re­
turned thanks for health and the good things of life, and thè ban­
quet was begun with hàppy talk and laughter— the State Board
cloud was lifted, the hard work was done— why not be happy.
They- say our eating average was high, most of us qualify­
ing for first honors with, a grade of from 96 to 105. However,
Dr. Lehman seemed to feel the- responsibility o f concluding the
feast and called on Miss Harriet Wylie, one of the Class Deans.
She responded to the toast “ Servo,” the class motto. Her toast
alternated with wit and serious thought and was roundly ap­
plauded. Dr. Martin spoke on Reminiscences, referring feelingly
to his happy life with the faculty and students of Cumberland
Valley State Normal School.
W e were saved from becoming too serious for so happy an
occasion by the Hon. Quin T. Mickey, who represented the
Board of Trustees. While Mr. Mickey’s subject may sound seri­
ous to you, we assure you that he made more fun out of “ Philology||than any of us had ever enjoyed before. Prof. A. B. W allize, responded for the faculty on “ The Teacher with a Sense of
Humor.” ':
Members of thè Senior Class, the guests of honor, who re­
sponded, were Miss M. Ruth Groninger, President, and Mr. C. Si
Rice. Miss Groninger spoke on “ The Class of 1914>” giving its
history and telling o.f its hopes to prove worthy by useful service.
“ Our Mother,” was the subject Mr. Rice eloquently handled.

W e have three mothers to whom we owe allegience for care in
our helplessness; mother who goes down into the “ Valley of the
Shadow” to give us life ; our school mother -who trains and fits
us for useful life ; and. mother earth who receives us at life’s close,
to restful sleep through the ages.
Dr. Lehman was a witty toast master who kept us laughing
by his keen’Sayings at introduction and humorous comments: at
the close of each response. At eleven o’clock the happy Occasion
was.brought to a most fitting conclusion by the banqueters- stand­
ing and singing the School. O de,'“ Alma Mater.”

Last Meeting of the Sabbath School

The Sabbath School brought its work of the year to a close
at 9,30 on Sunday morning. Prof. J. S. Heiges, Dean of the
School, and Supt. of the Sabbath Schooijipresided. The atten­
dance was large at this, the last meeting of the year for most of
us, but the last for life for others of our number. Prof. Heiges
has conducted the. school for several years with unusual success;
and this largely attended and Spiritual final meeting made him
feel that his personal sacrifices had been worth while many times
over. '■
Baccalaureate Sermon

On Sunday evening the members of fhe Senior Class assem­
bled for the Baccalaureate Sermon which was preached by our
former Principal, Dr. S. A. Martin, Professor of Moral Philos­
ophy at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa.
The occasion was, |fsy always, a beautiful and ffplemn one.
In accordance with the custom of former >year|| the members
of the class entered in procession and marched to their places in
the Auditorium singing Integer Vitae.
The Reverend Mr. D. W . Allison of the Church of the
Brethren of Shippensburg, offered the opening prayer. The
singing of the DSxology and a hymn was followed by a reading

THE; NORMAL,

SCHOOL

o f Scripture by the Reverend S. S. Wylie, Pastor Emeritus of
Middle Spring Presbyterian Church. Mr. W ylie chose as his
reading the fourth chapter of Proverbs. The Student Chorus
then >sang an anthem, after which Dr. Martin addressed the
Class and their friends in a most fitting and touching sermon,
taking for his text Lamentations 3:27. “ It Is Good for a Man
that He Bear the Yoke in His Youth.”
As the members of the Senior Class had done a large part
o f their work under Dr. Martin’s administration he felt and ex­
pressed a special interest in each one. He concluded his sermon
by addressing the class as follow s:
TO TH E CLASS O F 1914:
W e often hear it said that this age in which we live is an
age o f skepticism, an age of unbelief; of breaking down the old
beliefs and tearing up of old foundations.
I cannot consent to this description of our time.
O f course all ages of growth, all times of progress and de­
velopment must be to some degree destructive.
“ The old order changeth, giving place to the new ; fo r God
fulfills himself in many ways.” But, in the midst of all this
changing and decay of forms and formula, truth abides un­
changed. Your text books change, but the principles of mathe­
matics are eternal. Laws change, but justice is immutable, and
creeds have been revised, and will be, many times, for we know
in part and prophesy in part. But God and Jesus Christ and
God’s truth are the same, and their years shall not fail.
I doubt if ever men saw truth more clearly, or even held the
great essential directness of our faith with more intelligent as­
sent. I believe there is a w ider,clearer, better knowledge
and belief of Christian truth than ever there was before. But
we are a generation o f spoiled children, wilful and peevish and
wayward. It is not faith that we lack but fidelity, loyalty, and
devotion to the truth as God gives us to see the truth.
This is my message to you, guide your lives, don’t drift.
Fight the good fight, not as one that beateth the air, but, with the
faith that means fidelity, stand for the faith that .means the truth
of G od; and the grace of God shall keep your hearts and minds
in the knowledge of Him.
After Dr. Martin's charge to the class, a’ hymn was sung,

THE

and the Reverend Dr. I. A. MacDannald of the Shippensburg
Church o f God pronounced the benediction.

The Last Chapel Service of the Year

Last meetings always bring with them sadness. T o some
the last chapel means final parting from loved scenes and close
friendships. Our last meeting together aS faculty and school
made us quiet and thoughtful! but it was a time of closer fellow­
ship. So we were a very sober looking crowd who assembled
to hear Dr. Lehman read to us fo r the last time this year from
God’s w ord ; to sing together the dear old songs; and to unite
in our Lord’s Prayer.
Alfgten o’clock the Seniors in cap and gown marched into
chapel and took seats yn front,, to the right of the center aisle.
Undergraduates and faculty took their, places, and the usual ex­
ercises were held. At their conclusion Dr. Lehman, Principal
o f the school, introduced Prof. J. S. Heiges, Dean of Normal, and
one of the Deans of the Senior Class, who delivered his last mes­
sage to those about to go out from the old school. Prof. Heiges’
theme was “ Industry as the Means ,to Success'in Useful Ser­
vice!” By illustration from the dives of men and women who
have best served their fellows, he proved that not genius but un­
ceasing work had. brought- accomplishment. He urged the class
to adopt high ideals and -to push with all the energy of their' be­
ing their chosen work. Prof. Heiges was earnest and convincing
in his plea for doing good service; and he was heard with pleas­
ure and profit,, not only by the Senior Class, but by all who were
present.
A t th e-close-of the service the audience remained seated
while the Seniors marched out from chapel for the last time as an

Class Day Exercises

Out on the campus, under the trees, what setting could be
more suitable for the fun-day of a graduating class? A t ten
oM ock, Updegrove’s orchestra struck up a stirring m arch; there
was a turning of heads on the part of the great crowd seated be­
fore the platform ; a hushed murmur rustled through and about
the audience) and, led by stately Miss M. Ruth Groninger, Pres­
ident of the first1class in the new Pour Year Course, the Seniors
in cap and gown marched across the campus from the west end
of Old Main to the east end of this hall, down the aisle between
the divided guests, and up on the platform-^the fun was on.
The President’s address of welcome was explanatory, full of
welcome, to the point. Then came the orator of the day, who,
in the language of somebody, “ cut loose the real stuff.”
The members of the class took a noticeable brace; there was
stiffening of neck muscles; a tense expression•of feature stole
over the stolidity of “ Meek’s” fa ce; Snyder looked more sheepish,
if possible, than ever; and the Class Historian let loose a broad­
side of fun and “ twits” that made mother and father wish they
had their hopefuls at home and hidden from the gaze o f that curi­
ous and too hilarious crowd. With dignity and grace was the
Mantle bestowed and acceptedfly the chief “ bestower” and “ ac­
ceptor’’-—All Seemed well along the “ Branch.”
Rife is a very deceptive and most uncertain proposition any­
way! The class settled down, carefree, happy, and smiling.
Most of those about to be sent out upon an unsuspecting world
had never met any will but parental or “ teachorial.” No they
did not know what a Class W ill was like or some of them had
never come. That was some particularly generous will. It gave
away what never belonged, to those who didn’t want it and
wished they weren’t there.

Alumni Day-Reunion of Classes

Beginning on Monday, yes as far back as Saturday, Alumni
came by every train. On Monday many ot the younger o f the
C. V. S. N. S. elect returned; but on Tuesday was the great big
return that Dr. Lehman and his assistants had hoped for. This
was Tuesday, June 23rd. The crowd was here and continued
to arrive. All we needed now was weather properly adjusted to
our plans.
After luncheon at the noon hour classes began to “ reune” ..
’94 conducted their’s with dignity and in secret; but T2 was
open and above-board, right out on the campus where any who
wished could see and hear. T2 must have spent all their spare
time on that program for it required all the school officials and

the special policeman to break it up so that the class could join
in the “ Alumni Parade.”
Alumni Procession

The:f>arade” ! Well to begin with Dr. Lehman had pro­
vided tags with class numerals on them so that those long sep­
arated, whose locks had become unlocked, might identify eachother. Then! Yes then! The 1.08 Strain from Harrisburg
brought Dr. Samuel Z. Shope, our Chief Marshal. (This is
•jfletween us|gDr. Shope up in his neck'jgjif woods has made some
reputation as, an eye, ear, and nose specialist; but we only re­
member him as the greatest marshall fever at the head of the
elect of the earth. Dr. Shope wore the red and blue sash and
baldric; two youths carried the school banner; the Edward
Shippen Military Band played the march;;,the class of ’74, fol­
lowed by||heir fellow Alumnites fell in line behind-the band;
and down the path and across the campus they paraded. More
than 700 o f our Alumni were in line with banners flyin ggth e
most stirring and inspiring sight the Cumberland VSlley had ever
witnessed. Around they went! Up “ The Long Path T o Ed­
ucation!” In front of M ain! Across to the stand! All o f the

. on and applauded.
Alumni Rally and Business Meeting

Seated on the stage with the officers of the Alumni A s­
sociation and the speakers was the Class o f ’74, the class of
honor.
President A. B. Crook, ’93, of Williamstown, called the meet­
ing to order and delivered a spirited address. He was followed
by Hon. Filmore Maust, ’74, of Carlisle; Prof. Ralph Jacoby,
’04, of Meclianicsburg; W . A. Nickles, ’76, o f Shippensburg;
Dr. Ezra Lehman, ’89, PrincipalJ|>f the Cumberland Valley-State

J. H. Rebfer, ’91, of W aynesboro; Supt. H. J. Wickey, ’93, of
Middletown; and Supt. L- E. Smith, ’02, of Franklin County.
Each speaker was' a son of Old Normal, and each was filled with
a' Son’s love for his Alma Mater. All offered their services to
help Dr. Lehman make this school the best Normal School in
Pennsylvania. Each one had some good suggestion about the
“ H ow ” it can be done.

of rallies you might cateh the spirit of love and devotion that
prevailed. W e cannot do this; slut we will give you Dr. Leh­
man’s message to the Alumni, in another part of the Herald.
After the Rally Meeting, a business session of the Alumni
Association was held and the following business transacted:
It was passed unanimously that a committee be appointed
to make a material contribution to the school. Pres. Crook
appointed these to serve: Prof. J. S. Heiges, ’91; Q. T. Mickey,
’83; Jane McCullough, ’99; Supt. H. M. Roth, ’89; and Dee
Hale, ’ 10. The Presidents of the eight county organizations
were appointe^iia^yisory members to assist the committee in
devising plans toward which the financial energies of the Alum­
ni may be directed to greatest advantage to the school. Thesb;
officers wese chosen to guide the affairs of the association for the
ensuing year: Pres., Supt. J. H. Reb:er,.’91, o f W aynesboro;
Secretary, Helen; Pi; Wise, ’08, o f N ormal ; and Treasurer,- Hon.
Q. T. Mickey, ’83, of Shippensiburg. The report of the treasur­
er showed a balance of more than $300 in his hands at this time.
The report also showed that worthy students-are being aided.
The Marshall and the band w orked; and we fell in behind,
en route to see the Alumni-Varsity Base Ball Game. W e reach­
ed the first stage of the third inning when the rain man worked
so vigorously that the contest ended then and there, with the
score board showing 9— 2. Guess in whose favor! Ask Prof.
Briner, ’01, o f Carlisle, if you are not a sure guesser.
Alumni Entertainment

■Well, this .same rain to which we have referred, made step
singing impossible. The famous Updegrove orchestra discours­
ed sweet music on the veranda while we held sweet commune with
our fellows.
At eight o’clock came a great treat. For the Alumni En­
tertainment we had engaged Miss Sarah Lemer, Violinist, of
Harrisburg. Miss Demer was assisted by Mr. Newell Albright,
Pianist, A critic and violinist of no meager ability said to the.
writer that Miss Demer was the best violinist he had ever heard
in Shippensburg.
At the Close o f Miss Lemer’s recital we wended our way to
the gymnasium where Updegrove’s orchestra made sweet dreamy
music to which we danced or listened until the day had no more
hours, then to bed to rest for the morrow.

Commencement

Commencement morning came, as such mornings are wont
to do, with its heat and languor. Faces that usually were full of
animation how showed wear. A g.oodly number o f friends of the
class had found places before Dr. Lehman in his Doctor’s robes
accompanied by the assisting ministers, and followed by the class
of 1914 marched down the aisle. The class of 1912 came last
of all and found seats provided on the right as one enters. These
looked more dignified and much more subdued than two years be­
fore we remember them as marching down the same aisle for
their graduation certificates. Time and the world have done
more for them than the faculty had done during their student
days. They had come back after two years of successful teach­
ing for their permanent teacher’s diplomas.
After an earnest prayer by the Reverend Frank S. Fry of
the Reformed church of Shippensburg, Mr. C. S. Rice, vale­
dictorian of the class, delivered a thoughtfully prepared oration
on “An A pology for Nature.” ’ Miss M. Ruth Groninger fol­
lowed with a well interpreted recitation, “ The Death Disk.”
A student chorus, under the direction of Miss Hubbell, sang the
difficult cantata, “ The Wreck of the H e s p e r u s a n d Miss Marga­
ret Joy Houston concluded with a well written essay on “ The Sup|Hluous Woman.” After music by the orchestra Dr. Lehman
delivered a masterly interpretation of “ The Place of the Normal
School»! n Modern Education.” This address is the kind one
wants to read in the quiet of his home, so we are printing it in
another part of this Herald.
As p roof o f their love for their school, through Mr. Albert
C. Garland as their spokesman, the class of 1912 presented a met­
al flag pole and a flag. Dr. Lehman accepted the generous gift
in behalf o f his school and thanked the class for giving what we
so much needed to show our patriotism and train our students
to love their country.
After the conferring o f the degrees and diplomas the audi­
ence stood and sang “ Alma M ater;” The Reverend W . B. Picken
of the Methodist church of Shippensburg, pronounced the bene­
diction ; and the Forty-First Annual Commencement became a
part of the hisfory o f the Old School on the Hill.
