The Instano
MDCCCCXII
PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE INDIANA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF PENNSYLVANIA, 1912
CnpvriRhted, 1912 By
Charles J. Mareiotti Arthur M. Stull
The Art Work of the Annual
THE DECORATION of the Annual was designed entirely by the Art Class. Each designed page has a special significance. An attempt was made to carry out the plan of the Gothic arch in the full page illustra- tions, the most important exception to this being the frontispiece, or the Indiana page.
THE CLASS FLOWER, the American Beauty, was thought appropriate for the Dedication page and also for the Regular Class page. The golden rod was selected by the public school children, for the State of Pennsyl- vania, and therefore, was thought appropriate to represent our worthy and faithful board of trustees.
THE OAK signifies patriotism and hospitality, and, on account of the many beautiful old oaks on the campus, that design was chosen to re- present the faculty of the school.
THE LAUREL was used for the Art Course. The reeds and red-winged black bird are suggestive of music.
AS THE MAIZE is one of our important commercial products, and also a suggested symbol for the United States, it was chosen for the Commercial Department.
THE FLOWERS or fruits symbolic of the many nationalities found among our students are as follows: — England, the rose; Wales, the leek; Germany, the corn flower; Ireland, the shamrock; Scotland, the thistle; Holland, the tulip; Sweden, the pine cone; Spain, the pomegranate.
THE LAUREL is sometimes used to symbolize the United States. It is thought most worthy, not only because of its historic value, but because it is evergreen, is an emblem of victory, and lends itself beautifully to design. It was especially liked for the Annual because it is found in every county of the state, clothing its mountains in beauty during the entire year.
Dedication
To James E. Ament, LL. D., to whose executive ability, in bringing about desirable im- provements, the school is indebted, we, the class of Nineteen Hundred Twelve, dedicate this, the first volume of the Instano.

JAMES E. AMENT, LL. D.
In recent years the Indiana Nnrnial has shown marked development. This may be attributed to many things, the interest taken in her by the Com- monwealth; the gradual, but stea<ly growth of the realization that she ailords one of the best opportunities for education given by any .school ; and lastly, the wide-spread knowledge of the retined and homelike atmosphere of the Institu- tion. This development is less noticeable to present sti;dente than to those who were acquainted with the school in earlier stages of its growth. Dr. Anient, the school's present executive, more than any other one principal the school has had, has brought about the conditions placing Indiana foremost among the normal schools of Peinisylvania.
James E. Anient was born, September 2, 1863, at Woodburn, Illimis, his parents being James Roe and Emily Dodson Anient. Though born in the North, Dr. Ament's ancestry are of Southern extraction. His great-grandfather was Thomas Metcalfe, U. S. Senator, and former Governor of Kentucky. Directly or indirectly, the family, on the paternal side, is also related to the Dyers and the Monroes. Dr. Ament's mother's family, on the maternal side, were the Wil- liamses, of Amher.st County, Virginia. Ili.s grandfather, on his mother's side, was Dr. Eli Dodson. of iManchester, England.
Dr. Anient has great love for teaching, and teaches because of that love. He always says that he became a teacher (|uite by accident, that he was really intended to be an architect. His training in, and knowledge of, architecture has been of the greatest value to him, however, in his work of building up great schools. His early education was received in the public schools of his native state, and in Valparaiso Univensity. Later, his interest in education led him to graduate from th(> Illinois State Normal University. Kentucky University made him a Doctor of Laws. Though never matriculating as a regular student, Dr. Ament has been an independent student of University Administration at the seats of several of our noted universities. For this purpose, he lived a year at Ann Arbor.
Dr. Ament's teaching career began in 1882, at which time he became a teacher in the public schools of Illinois. In 1802, he was chosen superintendent of schools of Carroll, Iowa. He left this position in 1895 to become Superintend- ent of the City Schools of Rock Island, Illinois, the last position he held in public school work. In 1897, he 'became the first president of the Northwestern State Normal School at Alva. Oklahoma. In 1904 he iiecame president of the State Normal School at Warrensburg, ^lissouri, continuing there until 1906, when he took up his work as principal of Indiana State Normal School. In all the positions he has held, large growth has come to the .school, and hi.s admini.stration is always remembered as one of great prosperity. During his work as an educator, he has contributed many articles, based on educational problems, which are of great value. Dr. Anient is also a member of the National Educational Association.

TRUSTEES
A man or woman in public or in private life, who ever works only for the sake of the reward that comes for the work, will in the long run do poorwork always. I do not care where the work is, the man or woman who does work worth doing is the man or woman who lives, breathes, and sleeps that work; with whom it is ever present in his or her soul; whose ambition it is to do it well and feel rewarded by the thought of having done it well. That man, that woman, puts the whole country under an obligation.

An excellent example of "still water runs deep." Her favorite yell, which sometimes in- trudes into her laugh, is "Wah-Hoo." probably because she comes from Allegheny High.

"Sissir"
Associate Editor INSTANO: Y. W. C. A.
"Much ado about nothing." She has always flunked ( ?) every review, yet comes out at the head. (Strange, don't you think?) She is a great vegetarian, even preferring eggs to candy. The only fault she has to find with eats in gen- eral, is that they are too nourishing. Clara is al- ways talking about some sort of a State, but never enlightens us as to whose or what state it is. The only thing we know about it is that each Monday she receives a letter, "once and only once, and from one only."
ELEANOR L BAILEY
TITUSVILLE Y. W. C. A.
This bright, dark-eyed maid hails from the far-famed towTi of Titusville. She is a full sis- ter of Peek's bad boy, and can outshine that youngster in mischief any hour of the day or night. She really has tried to reform since she came to Indiana, but ahus, it is a hopeless task. Some of her favorite expressions arc, "Call me early," and "I refuse." The latter is generally accompanied by a stamp of the foot which can be heard very plainly at least four floors below. "When anyone speaks of colors, Eleanor is at once attracted to the spot and tempted to voice hci sists that she prefers green, especially "Ked Green.

"Peg"
Assistant Editor SOPHIST; Erodelphian.
Peg is one of oar literary stars, and a,s assist- ant editor of the Sophist, she has shown the ma- terial of which she is made. She is quite enthu- siastic, and whatever she undertakes is sure of being well done. Her pet aversion is too much work, and her hobbies are eating peanuts and re- citing poetry. She usually announces her arrival by, "Oh say. kids," and she always has some- thing new and exciting to talk about. Although she is no go.ssip, it is certainly true of her that, "Age cannot wither her, uor customs stale her infinite variety."
MYRTLE M. BALMER
CROSSCREEK
Y. W. C. A.
When Myrtle came to us, she was one of the most reticent girls of the class. This has gradu- ally worn away, so that by this time we are able to "see her as she really is. That is to say, we know her to be a lively, cheerful and jolly young- ster. She is not one of those who find pleasure in classes only, yet one will always find her an industrious student. We have already decided from her description of the place, that Cross- creek is quite an important place, although we have not been able to find it on the map. At any rate, it was quite a place when it turned Myrtle over to our care.

VANDERGRIFT Y. W. C. A.; Huyghenian
No, this girl, wlio is so fond of France has never seen the sight of gay Paris, although last September gay Paris came to her. "Study, study, all the time" is her motto, and any time yon walk in at the "open door" (and that is a Mystery) you can find her reclining on the couch devour- ing a book. No talking in her room about senti- ment and futures. She is a devout member of the Mission Studv, you know.
JANET B. BEMIS
WEST MIDDLETOWN "Jerry"
Our meek friend from West Middletown, the grandest place in the whole world, has one very admirable quality, this is her loyalty. Although we have mentioned this first, do not think it is her greatest acquirement. She is a singer of no mean ability, as well as a baker. If she continues to improve in the music line, she will, without doubt, become famous, for she has a voice like a nightingale. There is no room for improvement, however, when it comes to baking bread.

"A noljle mind the best cimtentment has." Polly is a dear, gracious, little saul, warm heart- ed and loyal. We always asaoclate her with good times, laughter and merriment. She has always a new fad and has created great astonish- ment among her friends by sticking to basketball for two .seasons. She takes up each new fad with ■rreat enthusiasm. l)ut has never yet displayed that ()uality of ardor on the way to Recitation Hall.

"Peg" Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A.
"None knew her but to love her." Peggy is the person to whom we always confide our littk trials and in whom we are always sure of a sym- pathetic listener. She is not at all sentimental, but spends most of her valuable time in compos- ing verses and we predict a success near to that of Shakespeare. To .iudge her poetic ability one needs only to turn to the Class Poem. Margaret is one of the most conscientious students in the class, and
a girl who perseveres as she does, cannot fail to be successful in practically any
undertaking.

"Dibby"
Associate Editor INSTANO; Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A.
"None but herself can be her paraUel." There is an old proverb which says, "Good goods ore put up in small packages." We'll guarantee this statement, for here we have a fair sample. She is a friend to everybody, and her bright smile is a welcome gift to those fortunate ones on whom it is cast. Dibby speaks French and Latin and noth- ing puzzles her in Gennan. not even Mr. Bow- man. If anyone dares to look at her while she Ls reading she is up in arms at once, and watches over books as a lioness does her cubs.
HELEN M. BRENNAN
RANKIN Huyghenian
"A pie! a pie! ]\Iy kingdom for an apple pie!" Helen M. Brennan, a really lovely girl, has one all-absorbing passion, and that is an inde- fatigable appetite for apple pie. Next in the rank of her afifections comes her love for dancing and all forms of athletics. Most lovers of out- door sports are .slovenly and rather happy-go- lucky, but not so with her. She is very precise and neat. — a great virtue considered in an ethical sense. But only her good qualities have been cited here; she has some failings. The most pro- nounced of these are her horror of mice, and the fear that she will some day marry a small man. She also has a great tendency to sputter about in French to room-mates who know nothing but German. Summing up all her qualities, both good and bad, it must be decided that the good ones carry down the scales, and the general opinion that Helen is "a pretty good old scout, after all" must be accepted.

Keep it up, Marion, and we predict that a few years hence you will be occupying your place among the other shining lights. She hails from good old Al- legheny High, wliere she is remembered as being a lirilliant jiupil, and a good sort in every way. Her record has not been marred so far, and many a wi.se person has predicted a great future for Susie.
JENNIE M. BROWN
PITCAIRN Y. W. C. A.
Here she comes! The girl all of us want to hear about. No, she is not very big, but that never counts. She is of a very cheerful disposition, and enjoys herself wherever she goes. Her favorite saying is Tee ! Hee ! She is an active member of of the 0. K. O.. a very well-knowii society, and as a result we should feel honored by her company. Her one main desire in life is to find out every- thing about German, and in the future we will pick up the newspapers and read — "Praulein Brown die beruhmte deutsche Lehrerin."

"Some eyes may sparkle, some may dance. Some may charm you, but Helen's entrance."
Helen is one of these girls who make friends wherever they go. Whether this is due to these entrancing eyes, spoken of before, or to some oth- er quality, we do not know. We do know, how- ever, that she Ls a jolly good girl, and that she is quite popular. As a student, also, she is no slouch, and there is sure to be some mistake if by any chance she happens to be reported. It has been said that a person who possesses brown eyes can- not keep a secret. This does not hold good in this instance, for Helen can imitate a clam to perfection.

Bertha is a modest girl, who takes special de- light in wearing a blue dress piped with red. She is very fond of singing, and keeps us from becom- ing afraid by singing her favorite hymn, "Don't be afraid for I'll Protect you." She is quite in- offensive, and has never been known to partici- pate in quarrels of any nature, not even with a teacher over an unprepared lesson. Of course, she does not know the meaning of an unprepared lesson, but even if she did, she would not waste time by arguing about it. Of her it may be said :
A girl with an ideal purpose. And a mighty end in view."

EDITH BUCHANAN A K cj,

It is generally coneeded that everyone has many faults, and of these, one fault is always predaminant. The greatest fault we can find with Edith, however, is that she has so few. She is always quiet and unas-suming when in the pub- lie view, but behind the scenes, she is somewhat different. There is no one who is quite so anx- ious to raise the roof of Sutton Hall by laughing and holwing. and no one as glad as she when rough-house is begun. In spite of this unpardon- able fiiult, bnwevcr. .she is liked by everyone.

If he were present, he might take "Butch" as a real live example of his the- ory. Never put out about anything, always cheerful and talkative, she is sunshine personi- fied. The greatest mystery connected with Ruth is the ease with which she passes her studies. No one would think of calling her a liluff, but some cannot quite understand how she does it.

Martha is a light-haired girl who tliinks nf little else than work. From early morning until late in the evening she spends her time in adding to her pi'esent store of knowledge. In fact, she spends so mueh time in her work that her friends have begun to worry about her. They have been able to find but one cure for her, and that is to show her something worth eating. If good eats are in sight, liooks are at once forgotten, and she is given up to the enjoyment of the feed. In a few year.s. all of the now difficult subjects will have been mastered, and she will no doubt be enn.sidered as one of the the teaching depart:iient.

"Ted" Y. W. C. A.
This very modest young lady is trying her best to give the outside world an opinion of ex- treme dignity. Whether she succeeds or not is one of the problems of the day. but, be it said, this affectation of dignity is merely an assumed role which requires strenuous effort on her part. She seems to be especially fond of the davenport in the Reading Room, also of attending lectures in the evening. It is a question among those who know her which she likes best — pie or candy. Does Ted like warm weather? Well, at any riite, she seems to take great pleasure in studying the warmer countries.

Huyghenian; Y. M. C. A.
This young man came to us in the Spring Term of 1911 from Franklin and ]\Iarshall Acad- emy. He is quite a sprinter and expects to better the school record before long. He spends most of his time at his studies and reading poetry. "Pas- sy" believes in his new motto, "Late to bed and early to rise." He sets the alarm in a conveni- ent place where he can turn off the gong, and then turns over for a few more hours' sleep. But with all his faults he is a mighty good fellow, full of energy, and always ready to do the right thing by a friend. In more ways than one "Passy" gives promise of a successful career.

Zella entered as a Junior iliddler, Fall te?"n of 1910. She is a very good student, especially in ]\Iathematics and Physics; but do not think that Zella ha.s attained her good marks by not working, for many a night did she burn the mid- night oil writi]ig plan.s or reading "Browning." In the Winter term of her Senior year, she found she had timi' to train her voice, and who .shall say that Zella may not shine as a "Star Singer" in the future. Her many friends predict that she will do great credit to Indiana.

Her favorite study is French, and her nickname is "]\Iutt."

In the fall (if 1!)0I) we welcomed into our midst a shy little person whose name was Zella Ileekert. From her earliest recollection she nevei had to fear that there would be a short nerve- racking pause before her name was read among the clear records, because they are so used to readinir it they don't have to pause, unless it is in snrprise at its frequent recurrence. Zella 's one trial is her size, but never mind, Zella, we predict that you will grow some yet. Although she is inclined to be a suflfragette, we certify that several suspicions looking boxes of candy have arrived at various times from the Smoky City, her favirite expression is "Jimminy Christmas,"

"Ex" first saw the light of day in Elders- ridge, far up in the mountains. She ha? moved from place to place until finally she has headed up in Normal. I don't suppose she regrtts it, and if others do, they keep it to themselves. She is seldom seen in "Rec Hall" and when she should be there, she can generally be found in her room plugging away at Physics. She is quite pojrilar, and if she can show enougli ivill power to turn down all attentions, a bright future is in store for her.

Says she, "When nine o'clock comes, I feel dreadfully tired, then why shouldn't I go to bed and get uj) at four-thirty to do my lessons.'" The only trouble is that she has a next door neighbor whose reasoning is just the opposite of hers. This neighbor believes in getting all of her lessons before going to l)ed and then getting up late. Alack, at four-thirt.v she is 'roused frtmi her gentle slumbers by the clang of Jennie's alarm. In answer to her ejaculations Jennie tells her that if everyone thought the same, the world would stop progressing. We agree. On those creatures present, has no time to waste.

As Polonius to his son, says Alice/" Give thy tliimghts no tongue:" Alice talks very little, evidently believing that still water runs deep. She delights in all subjects involving Mathemat- ics, and expects to take a special course in i\Iath next winter at the University of Pittsburgh. Her favorite subject is Physics, but .she says she doesn't understand mirrors very well. This seems rather strange, iis she is always so neat and trim that one would imagine she saw a mirror at least once a day. Her hobby is being on time, and her favorite expression, "That makes me tired."
MINNIE JONES
MUNHALL Y. W. C. A.
After graduating from her high school, Min- nie decided to become more polished by a course in Normal. We can mark a great improvement in her, for in high .school, (where, by the wa.\, she studied), she was very shy, and had no time for the frivolities of youth, such as dancing. She has grown out of her ideas concerning such things, however. If all girls in our school were awakened as ea.sily as she, by the first tap of old Romeo's bell, the clockmakers would have to seek another occupation.

Her chief joy is derived from breaking paper bags, and her chief dislike from the sight of light-haired boys. She is noted as a peacemaker, and quells every disturbance, which arises among her room-mat&s. From her photograph, you might think Sara burned the midnight oil, in order to have perfect lessons, but all those who have seen her dancing brovvu eyes know that this is not the ease.

Find out whether she has ever planned a mid- night feast, or enjoyed some good joke at her neighbor's expense. Ruby has never studied A-stronomy, but you would never know it unless I told you, for she can name the stars from be- ginning to end, even though she does name them according to her special favorites instead of their astronomical order. Ruby has been known to write poetry, but so far her friends have per- suaded her to keep it from print.

She has her belongings so well arranged, that they coidd be found in the dark if necessary. Midget tries to impress this fact upon all her friends and says some petiple waste too much valuable time in unnecessary hunting for things which sliould be in their place.

Lucille, 01- commonly kuown in school as "Sappy" came to Indiana a freckled-faced youngster of fourteen. Her stay in this institu- tion has been a very exciting one, marked espe- cially by the limits which were placed upon it. Her reputation as an "actress" has been estab- lished in this school by playing the leading roles in "Jane," "The Amazons," and "For Old Eli." Lucille 's youthful energy was put into tennis and basketball, and during the basketball season of nineteen eleven she won her "I." Al- though Lucille has been at Indiana five years, her favorite expression (and .she is a great favor- ite herself) is, "Say, girls, isn't it awful to think teen and have never felt the ticlvjing of cupid's w

She is one of Mac Gordon's ideals, as she never mi.sses her breakfast nor is .she ever late to her meals. Lillie is a great "pd- lar" of the Y. W. C.

"Jud" is one of the hard workers of the class, not especially in classes, but more so in anything the class undertakes; such as sleigh rides, etc. We all remember how he worked to down the iliddler.s in the class fight last fall, how he ar- ranged for our sleigh ride and all the work he did toward decorating for the Senior Dance. He is a very quiet, unassuming young man and is very shv when around the ladies.
MABEL MUNSHOWER

JIabel is a very good example of the "cheer- ful worker" as she always goes about her work with a smile. She is very fond of flowers and she often raves over a "Sweet William." She is quite a songstress, but .she persists singing the same tune, which is, "Won't you come home. Bill Bailey." She expects to be a teacher and it will not surprise us in later days to hear her name associated with the famous women of the twenti- eth century.

"Thou hast no hesitation in those eyes. Which thdu dost glare with." How well we remember the color rushes of 1911 and 1912. when this fair lassie helped us to win the glorious tights. Her heart's desire is to live among the Mountains and help the doctor take care of his victims. Al- though her hair is not red, she has the tcinper that goes with it, so look out for the flash of her eyes, as it is apt to be fiillowed by a volley from her tongue.

Who is sho? Why the studious girl who spends hours over her books, only to have the teachers ask her the wrong questions the next day. She is not very talkative, and believes in the motto, "Speak when you're spoken to." Her sole ambition is to get teaching "off." The Model School, therefore, is her shrine and early in the morning she may be seen by passers-by kneeling on the walk before the school. She has no favorite class, nor teacher ; they are all view- ed with impartial and non-relenting eyes.

Now, Margaret is a very dear little lady with tendencies that mo.st certain- ly do not lean toward the mouse faction. She has a natural aptitude toward sauer kraut, weiners and sprechen sie Deutsche, as can be easily seen by her cognomen. Her favorite expression is "Do tell," which she fondly ejaculates on all occa- sions, although she does not care two straws whether you tell her or not. On the whole we find our "Peggy" very sweet and demure, but we fear that she may be a feminine edition of Rip Van to sacrifice breakfasts for naps.

PITTSBURGH "Dot"
"A creature not too bright or good for hu- man nature's daily food." Dorothy is a worker. She can dig, dig, dig, with never a moan long after everyone else has given up in disgust. She's a good, wholosonip, jolly girl, one who knows when to giggle and when to sigh, and whom it is a I)l('a.sure to be with. She can scold you when you're crass, comfort you when you're blue, and laugh with you when you're happy; what more could anvonc wisli in a friend?

Some say she plunks, we're sure she never flunks. Her picture really does not do Paul ju.s- tiee, for it fails to show that her lamps are light- ed with that all-knowing oil. One guaranteed way of winning her favor is to compliment her on her very small stub nose. We did call her practical Paul, but since we have seen her with "Jim" we have changed it to popular Paul. We think in the little flat which she tells us she in- tends having in the future "Red" will carry out the color scheme. She is a living proof that that pill taker is not a pill. Paul is very lesthetic in all her tastes and this may account for her strong liking for the Irish.

Garnet is a girl whom we all miss when she is gone, yet do not know what she does when she is here. She is rather hard to appreciate at first, but this is probably due to her desire for kniwl- edge. Her ambitions are the cause of many a weary hour of hard, drudging labor. She evi- dently believes in the adage which encourages deep drinking from the Purian spring.

She is cue of ths happy-go-lueky kind wh > always hope for the best, but do not worry or fret if everything does not come their way. Her favorite amusement is reading beauty hints and trying new beauty preparations. She is always busy while awake; but her waking hours are usually shortened by the fact that she is a firm believer in Franklin's advice, "Early to bed."

BLANCHE OLIVE SMITH
REA
Even thougli Blanche conducts licrself with the greatest dignity imaginable, she is a jolly girl to those who know her well. She is an admirable student and wastes no time in foolishness when there is any work to be done. "Always in a cheerfiil mood and never discon- tented," is an exceedingly apt way of telling just how she is at all times.
THELMA E. SMITH
PITTSBURGH
Thelma does not believe in the restrictions one is under when staying in the dormitory, so she could never bring herself to the step of oc- cupying a room in that building. Her style of attack varies with her impulses. On some occa- sions she can be as stern and serious as anyone, while at other times she is jolly and gay and brinuuing over with fun. It has been said that a person who possesses auburn hair is a grouch, but we know that in this instance it does not hold good.

ISABEL SPRING A K *
SALISBURG, MD.
Willi ;ill (if lii'r ]irai'tii'iiig and earnestness, Isabel should sdou be applying for a pipe-organ |)iisitii)ii. She is perfeetly wild about her pipe- organ lessons { '!) and .sits for hours (periods) at a time digging out this work. The influence of .Mae. and his stand-bys has not liad mueh to do with Isabel, for siie is the same musician (with her tongue) wlio took up this monotonous ( '.') life there early in spring term.
MARGARET STEVENS A K *
MANSFIELD "Marge"
Everyone at .school knows "^large." She is such a dainty little creature that she cannot help but attract the attention of everyone. She has many opinions of her own and I would ad- vise you not to start an argument with her or try to change her opinions unless you do not mind being defeated. But her big heart more than makes up for her other faults. She is very fond of teaching in Jlodel school, and is also fond of the children; is now patiently waiting until commencement is over when she might be- come a "wise" woman. ^Margaret expects to teach next .year and the earnest wish of her
friends is, "]\lay those whom she teaches find in her the worth that she has
been to us."

ELMA M. TREICHLER
SANBORN, N. Y. Huyghenian; Contestant in Inter-Society Contest
Elma is a miisiuiaii cif no iiieau sort, and uau scud you into rapturL's of delight with her ron- derini); of nia.sterpieces on the jiiano. Shr is tall, dark-haired, and hanilsoine. But it is not for this reason only that she has nuiny friends. No one ean ajjpreeiate her luiless she has cultivated her friendship and kiiow.s her sterling qualities.
DELIA K. TRUMAN
TWO HARBORS, MINN,
Delia came a gre;it distanee to Join our throng, but we have never heard anyone com- plain of her presence here. In fact, everyone takes a delight in calling themselves her frit'ud,s. It was she who taught Augeline the mysteries of lawn tenuis. It was this same girl who resolv- ed seven times each week to ri.se early and take morning walks. But these decisions were as ncai' as she ever came to the little strolls.

LAURA IDELLA ADAMS
AVONMORE Y. W. C. A.; Huyghenian
From the city of Avonmore, On the West Penn branch; Hails this little maid, Of the Adams ranch.
Her hair is brown, And so are her eyes; And if she's not a flirt — Then, the eyes tell lies.
She is very neat, And shy and sweet. From the crown of her head. To the soles of her feet.
NELLE ALTER
INDIANA
Nelle came tn us from Indiana High school. She is a very industrious young lady, having fin- ished the commercial course in one year, besides getting to school on time for the tirst class every morning. Unless she decides to move to Plum- ville we expect to see her in charge of the books in her father's store ere another year. Nelle has always been opposed to initiating and has al- ways had a great MlTcclion for the "Freshie."

MYRTLE BIDDLE
PITTSBURGH
^Myrtle is from the "Smoky City". She en- tered our institute of learning as a regular stu- tlent. but later changed her course to commer- cial. She is of a sunny disposition when permit- ti'd to have her own way, and i.s a happy-go- lucky dreamer. Few there are, who can sleep more, or study less. When greatly aroused she is known to give vent to her feelings in that classical expression "Oh, heart." Since she has jileadcd with us not to u.se Bill's name, we will comply with her wishes and simply mention that her favorite pastime is dancing to the music of "Hilly."
EDNA BUTT
VV BOIS
Edna is known by her familiar giggle and the expi-ession "Oh kid." She is one of the many who practices part of Poor Richard's saying, "Pearly to betl." We do not expect Edna to make much use of her diploma, as she is thinking seriously of settling down in Chicago, where .she .says she will be "At Home" to all her Indiana friends and classmates. We wish Edna much happiness in her new abode.

ANNA CHESTNUT
BROOKVILLE
xVnna bounced into Indiana last fall and im- mediately started to absorb the knowledge to be gained in the commercial course. Anna has been one of the prominent figures in the class hay ride, sleigh ride and dance. She is so good natured and willing to help that she is liked by all. "Whether she will take charge of some busi- ness man's office or home will be left to the future.
HAZEL CONDRON
HOME
Hazel comes from the city ( ?) of Kellysburg, which is known by "Uncle Sam" as Home, Pa. Hazel has never tried dorm life and has never been associated with all the little trials and trib- ulations of such a life. We .iudge from the zeal with which she takes up the intricacies of Gra- ham's Shorthand that she will be establishing some new speed records very simhi.

ISABELLE EASTMENT * A $
PHILIPSBURG
"Is"
Y. W. C. A.
"Her eyes dark charm were vain to tell; There are some youths who know it well."
Some few short summers before this writing. Isabelle first opened her eyes to the beauties of this world, which beauty she has been seeing ever since. "Is" is a minister's daughter, and for that reason has roamed much in spite of her youth. Isabelle is quite an attractive young lady Ixith in looks and disposition, so her winning ways soon found her a place in the hearts of the girls. Strange, the boys didn't rush her? She took a great interest in all social affairs, but letter-writing and telephoning seemed to be her favorite pastimes. Probably. I.sabelle will teach next year, but whether she does or not the class of 1912 have reasons to suspect that she will not go far from Indiana.
MARY GRAY
PITTSBURGH "Tiny, Nellie"
JIary, although one of the smallest girls in the cla.ss. is not lacking in spunk or ambition. She is a perfect personification of the saying, "The best goods are put up in small packages. " Nellie is a very good student, while here, but why does she make so man.y visits home? ]\Iust be some attraction. Her favorite (?) pastime is hammering away at a typewriter, at which she has become very proficient.

MARIA GREER * K n
CANONSBURG
.Maria wa.s oni' of tlu' most brilliant gradu- ates of the elass of 1911. She is now taking a conmiurcial course and tilling the position of as- sistant librarian. Although being very loyal to Indian;:, she favors Kiski very strongly. I won- der why — there's a reason. Being a very reticent young lady .she does not speak often of herself, but it will surprise a majority of the class if she does not stav in Indiana.
LOLA GRIMES
SHEFFIELD
"For nature made her what .she is and never made anothc'r." Lola joined u-i last fall and has been attempting to show the rest of us how little we know. Lola is of a very sunny disposition, and when everything seems dark and gloomy it is ahvays she who dispels the gloom with her bright smiles and happy laughter. Although a very shy maiden and hard to appreciate at first, acquainted with her one cannot but admire her.

M. AGNES LONG
CARNEGIE
"Such harmony in motion, in speech, in air, That without fairness, she was most fair.'
Agnes hails frdm ILuis Wajinpr'.s town, sometimes known as ('arnc<;-ii'. Shr is a ji'ivaf vegetarian, as she says meat is too nourishing for one of her iirepoiulerance. and she never eats an\' lireakfast for the same reason.
PRUELLA MOORE
OSCEOLA MILLS
Prui'lhi is one of our little girls. She is a great worker and deelares she's going to be an old maid. But we often hear her speak of the good times she's had with "the boys." Her one great ambition is to travel over the whole eonn- Iry. Let us hope in her numerous future travels she will Hnd some one who will he attraeted l)y her big brown eyes and her ever i)leasant snnle. and who will take her hand and go with her to the haunts and plaees which she loves.

J. SCOTT MEANS <l> A
KITTANNING
" Scott ie"
Associate Editor INSTANO; Varsity Track Team; Lincoln Debating Club; Y. M. C. A.;
The more he talks the le/ss he says.
At one time Scott thought he was cut out for an engineer, at another time a surveyor, but he has finally decided that to really be a success one nui.st be able to hanuner on the keys of a typewriter. His life in Canada wa.s a wild tighl for existence among other similar animals of thi- wilderne.ss, but since he has resided in civiliza- tion he has become perfectly harmless and docile. Scott grants the statement that Helen of Tro\ might have been the most beautiful woman, but insists that Helen of Altoona is just as fair.
HARRY K. NEHRIG
INDIANA
Harry is one of those serene individiuils who thinks twice and doe^i not speak at all. Anger, love, .joy, hate — all these emotions may or may not have been felt by him — his closest friends cannot tell — but if they have, their effect was so slight or his control so great that his calm conn tenance was never' disturlied. Harry is sure tn be manager of some Inrge business house ere long.

GERTRUDE PLANTE
OIL CITY
Of all tlic plugging, hard-working, grinding, eoninicrcial .seniors. Gertrude Plante is about the worst or best, as yon may look at it. She is Prof. ]\Ieyer.s' one snre bet when he wants some difficult transcription made. She is a very obe- dient pu|)il and goes at her many lessons with a smile.
ADA PROUTY
ELDRED
Ada comes from the northern part of our State, where they call pigs, hawgs and cattle eo-ows. Ada, despite the allusion to rural life, is not from "the bush" but is very "eitiiied." She is a frequent patron of Rec Hall and all illastrated lectures. We cannot think of her as pounding her days away on the keys of a t.vpe- writer, but rather as keeping a cozy home in JIc- Kean county.

Lookout! Don't throw it ! I'll agree. Who havL' we here? What ! Not :\Iay Redd the ilili- tant Suffragette. IMay's one ambition is to have Woman 's Suffrage throughout the United -States and to herself represent them in Congress as Senatrix IJedd. ilay is a regular man hater and is always going to be a "bachelor girl," and keep a home for cats and have a Jap valet. ' ' 1 sometimes feel like swearing at men — particu- lar! v Prof. .Mevers."
EDWARD REDDING
CLEARFIELD
The most distinguished thing lie ever did was to do nothing. Ed is a regular glutton when up in the morning and running his father'.s buzz wagon around all day with a little eating in be- tween. ITe is one of thise cliaracters who are good because they are not bad and are too lazy to become worse.

JOSEPH SHERIFF
BLAIRSVILLE
"Slim"
Joe was blown here from the family tree in tlie dreary little 'burg of Btairsville. He is one of the hard workers of the class and is even now private secretary for the jn-csident of some large eoal company, while the rest of ns are still plug- ging away in school. We always thought "Slim' was one of these poor specimens of humanity wlio thought they were too good to associate with women until we saw him come up to bid "her" goodbye before he left school.
MARTIN SIEMON
TRANGER "Cy, Doc"
Well, here's Martin, God bless his wee soul, for he's wise and he's gentle and as tough as he's bold. So since the time has come when we must part and pursue a course of our own, we feel sure he will be able to rescue his own soul. We say he is tough; well, that's true, for he laughs in the evening at the bumps he has passed through. And grit; well, there was never one with such sand, for he would sit all day and grind, grind away. Though he is gritty and tough he is not to say rough, for he thinks of the mush that is in all of us. "Cy" has made a rep- utation as a veterinarian and will, no doubt, hang out his shingle in Tranger before long.

EARL SMITH * A
CLEARFIELD
"Smitty"
"Smitty" originally hailed from DiiBois, but now claims Clearfield as his home. He is a good natured fellow when left alone, but is eas- ily irritated, and is an awful prevaricator. Some who know him well, claim that he tells the truth once in a while, hut the ma- jority elaim it is once in a lonj;- while. "Smitty "developed a bad case of effiminitis last year, but "she" happened to be a member of the class of 1911 and since "her" departure he has not gone amonu' "em to any great extent.
HERMAN TOMB
INDIANA
"Dick"
Herman Vance "Dick" Tomb first saw the light of day in the city of Armagh, Pa. Here he obtained his early education and his love for poetry. The only thing "Diek" did in Armagh that deserves mention was to chop a tree down. Thi.s may not seem like a very big .stunt, but the tree happened to fall on the house where Wm. Caldwell resided. Four years ago the Tomb family moved to Indiana and Dick started to I. S. N. S. Everybody knows him and appreciates him, for he has a better voeabulai-y than T. H. Buchholz, and that is some recommentlation.

ELLA WAROBLYAK
PITTSBURGH Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A.
"Talk, talk, oh my! how she would talk."
This dark-haired little IMiss with the un- spellable,unpi'onoixneeable name, came from the "Smoky City" witli the cxiJi-ess design of taking as many hearts away with her as possible ; but it seems as if "Cy" has kind of upset her afore- said design. Her favorite expression is. "Oh, what's the use, I will never get this stuff off," having reference to accounting and banking.
MARIE WHITEHEAD
DU BOIS
]\liss Whitehead came down from DuBois with her superior smile in the winter term and has favored us with it unremittingly ever since. She came here to get an edueation and don't care anytliiug for society, except tea parties, \\/.., "feeds." lli'i- nnr aiiiliitidii is to revise the Graham system ol' Phdno^raphy.
