Commencement Week at the Normal this year is one to be remembered. It is a part of the world history that is bein? made tod.ty. Of the boys who would have graduated this week about a score are in the service of Uncle Sam. Part of these had so far advanced in the course that they were given their diplomas, even though they did not complete this year's work. Two or three were given furloughs to come back for their diplomas .
The can to the colors began last Fall, and on.- by one they have been dropping out of school life during the year. Of those eliirible for service under the draft some ol[ the men have been permitted to finish their school year.
Among the boya who have not volunteered or been called, but who have finished their course at the Normal, the majority have signified their intention of entering some branch of the military or naval service of the U. S. A. Their spirit is in keeping with the spirit of loyalty and patriotism which has dominated the school life this year. ^Vhether it was going without sugar, march¬ ing in a parade, or appearing on the program of a patriotic meet¬ ing, the Normal students, and faculty, too, have accepteti witb -cheerfulness and. eagerness to do their bit. In later years the Class of 1918 can look back on this year and realize that they> too, Tiav? helped to make history. ';  i^:^ ..;
Mansfield Normal has always had high standards of scholar¬ ship and character! and this year has added a high stanj^ard of patriotism. It is a school for JMansfield and this whole nor)thern tier of counties to be proud of.

Baccalaureate   Sermon.
The most stirring of recent Bacca¬ laureate Sermons was delivered Sun¬ day eveninp in Alumni Hall by Dr. | J. Geo'-ce Becht, Secretary of the \ State Board of Education. Dr. Becht is a speaker of ability and force, as wel' as :i man of deep thought. That his words had weipht was proved by the thoughtful seriousness on the faces ol the Seniors whom he ad- ¦dressed.
As a text Dr. Becht used the eighth verse of the second chapter of Joel, "Y'our old men dream dreams and your youuff men shall see visions." DevcIopinK this thought he said that ' at the bottom of every practical achievement lies a vision, that back of every worth-while movement there j has stood a man or woman, patient, ' persevering, conscientious, a believer I in himself and humanity, and above all, a dreamer of dieams. Lincoln, he .said, and Washington, and our President Wilson, are examples; these men had seen visions—visions of times when men should live justly, generously and peacably together, when service should be exalted, when brotherhood of man and love of God would reign supreme in the hearts of men.
He represented life as a golden staircase, consisting of four different steps; the first step was for the man who says, "I am." The second for him who thought, "I ought." The third fo'^ him who could say, "I can." And the Inst for the man who says, "1 will." But only when the will to do is expressed in action is the stair case completed. Life must be pur¬ poseful, he repeated, service must be willing, sacrifices must be offered, ob¬ ligations must be realized and dreams must be dreamed.
To the youth of America there is a great vision    opened,    a    chance for heroic sacrifice and service, a chance -tor   rebuilding,     re-constructing,   re- >;en€rating.    To them, he said, is giv¬ en the great Ciucible of Love, if into •this all  envy,    jealousy" of nations, jrreed an 1 hate are put, God will take care tjl the rest and a vision will arise which   will   gladden     and   strengthen the hearts of every nation which sees it.    An ideal is only nn idea, plus as¬ piration; perfection means death, it is i growth  that  we  need, a  goal,  some- ' thing to  strive for. and above all, a i vision,  a  dream  of  all  that  may  be I realized and the initiative to bring it to a reality.

Girls' Gymnastic  Exhibition.
The Gymnastic Exhibition was held on the campus in front of Noi'th Hall, Monday morning, June 17th, at 10 o'clock.
It -was decided to present the pro¬ gram out-of-doors this year on ac¬ count of the intense heat in ths gym¬ nasium, and, too, the beauty of the Normal campus is all one could ask in the way of natural and artistic dec¬ oration and a most fitting place for any  such  event.
The program this year was not long but the public was given an idea of some of the work done in the Normal department of physical education during the year.
The excellent orchestra oi the Nor¬ mal  School  played  sevei'al selections, which alone  were  -worth coming    to hear.    The program follows: Selection by the Orchestra. LcFsons in S-vvedish Gymnastics. Folk Dance; "The Smackers." Orchestra.
Kinderg'di'ten     Drill—"Soldier     Boy" "Leap Frog Dance." Model School Pennant  Diili. Orchestra.
"Norwegian Hopping Dance." Game—Indian Club Relay. Orchestra. "A   Minuet." "Butterfly Dance."
Miss Vail, the pliysical director, is a teacher of exceptional ability and enthusiasm. More interest has been shown this year in physical culture by the student body than ever before in the history cf the school. Great credit is due her for the strengthen¬ ing of this department.
Junior Mantle Oration.
Thomas S. Hiscox.
There comes a time in the course of human events when we are called upon to shoulder new responsibilities, to accept haider ta.^ks and to work out more difficult problems. Such a time have we Juniors arnved at to¬ day.
We have  been  looking  forward  to this day as one of the big events in our lives.   This beloved banner of Red | and Black entitles us to enter into the I ranks of the select few who have be- | come  seniors    at  Mansfield    Normal I School.    Although it is an honor and a credit to ua, yet there are many du- i ties  to  perform  before  the  Class  of 1919 is ready to leave this school.   So now  we  are  not  forgetting  these  in ' the  midst  of  our  new  joys  and  ex¬ pectations.
The world's conflict of today has changed school life to a great degree. Many of our class will be leaving to enter the ranks of our country, to ujihold the ideals of our nation, and to keep that starry flag of red, white and bline spotlesil and s^jAiiding for Justict?,' Fieedoni and Democracy for all mankind.
They who answer this call will do their part and we must do our's, al¬ ways remembering that famous quot¬ ation—
Count that day lost, whose low de¬ scending sun.
Views from thy hand no worthy ac¬ tion done."
In the midst of all our meditations the thought of you seniors leaving us i and Mansfield is far from a pleasant one; you have made life most agree- I able;  you  have  given    us    of    your store; and now as you leave may the j image of our grateful hearts he some small consolation and cheer to you.
Class of 1918 in accepting this man¬ tle, we wish you success. May for¬ tune smile kindly on all your at¬ tempts.
You are about to enter the larger field of work and we almost envy you.
We must now say farewell.
"The Crtie."
The annual school play. "The Cri- si.«", by Winston Chl'rciiil, was pre¬ sented under the direct;*! of Miss Gertrude .Mien, Tuesda)-^ evening in Alumni Hall.

A very large and    	
dicnce witnessed the preSntation and voted it one, if not the bi.it produc¬ tion ever given at Mansfielrl.
Stephen Brice and his mother are Northerners who came South a short time before the outbreak of the Civil War; Stephen is to take a position in the law office of Judge Whipple, an old friend of his father. Colonel Car¬ vel and his daughter, \'ii-ginia, arc typical Southerners, and it is only inevitable that the idea.i of the North and South should clash. Kliphalet Hopper, a cowardly, deceitful individ¬ ual, does his utmost to mal-ie trouble, but finally finds himself to he the in¬ strument of his own undoing and the righting of much of the trouble that he has caused.
Donald Arnold, as Stephen Brlce, the hero, portrayed the character as only Donald Arnold is able. Freda Willard as Virginia Carvel, again proved her exceptional talents along the dramatic line. Harry McInRoy as the eccentric Judge Whipple v/as more than good. Clifford Balch was excel¬ lent in his poitrayal of the old South¬ ern gentleman. Gordon Bailey, a£ Clarence Colfax, a cousin of Virginia, was most successful in the rendering of a very difficult part. The most difficult part of all perhaps was that of Eliphalet Hopper, the villianous character, but Walter Lippeit proved himself equal to every demand of tal¬ ent. The sweet, long sufferinp: mother of Stephen Brice, the hero, was por¬ trayed by Elaine Manley. Paul Het- tes, as Carl Richter, Georg^Kavle, as Maurice Renault andi C^^^^g^ritt, as Jar:k thei.- 'ch,
cai young SoutR^ met Case, as Tom (athet^iiwd, and Gurney Matteson. as Ei^hum, were fine. Ferieda Homet was the impul¬ sive Puss Russell of the story and Vida Emberger, Ruth Howard ana Li'lian Scaife as / Annie Brinsmade, Maude Catherwood and Eugenie Re¬ nault were ail that Southern lassies could be desired. llelle Horton as Nancy, and Flora Nolan aa Mrs. Col¬ fax were most excellent. The whole caste was exceptionally well chosen and the hard work, whole aouled in¬ terest and love of actinir of each mem¬ ber made "The Crisis" a play long to be remembered by those who wit¬ nessed it.

Class Day Exerci-ses.
Class Day Exercises we:-e held in Alumni Hall Tuesday morning. A huge crowd packed the auditorium. Class Day events are prob:ibly the most enjoyable of all Commencement exercises. Good humor pervaded ev¬ erything; every number was received wth added appreciation and roundly applauded. Those on the program caught the inspiration of the day and nobly rose to the occasion. Those whom the Senior Class chose to rep¬ resent them are as follows:
Class  History, Elsie Biddleman.
Class Prophecy, Fi'eUa Willard.
Art Exhibit.
.At four o'clock on Wednesday aft¬ ernoon the doors of the Art Studios were thrown open for the annual ex¬ hibit of art and proved to be of very unusual merit. The music of the Nor¬ mal Orchestra gave spirit to the oc¬ casion and announced that the exhibit was ready to be viewed. The exhibit consisted of examples of vei-y accu¬ rate mechanical drawings, together with demon3trations of many forms, combinations, and treatments of me¬ diums. Most excellent drawings in black and white executed in charcoal and crayon, and interesting still life studies in charcoal with water color¬ ing tinting together with very merit¬ orious examples of original decora¬ tions and design hung upon the walls.
Some beautiful portions of the campus and of the buildings were faithfully pictured by members of the sketch class displaying an unusual mastery of draftsmanship and per¬ spective.
The display of posters, all associa¬ ted with some public school event, pave evidence of muc'n originality, and is deserving of special  mention.
The still-life fruit studies in rich heavy water color were most beauti¬ ful and only those who understand the difficulty in the heavy tieatment of this medium can fully appreciate these pictures.
Theie were also many delightful landscapes, both from nature and from copies, done in the light, delicate treatment of the watercolor.
There was also a very beautiful display of hand-painted china, tool¬ ed leather, hammered bras.=i, and bas¬ ketry. State Superintendent of Draw¬ ing, Paul Beck, was very enthusias¬ tic over the exhibit and Miss Lau:-a Wheeler, the head of th? Art Depart¬ ment, and her assistant. Miss Helen Redcay, are to be heartily congratu¬ lated upon the great success of the year's work.

The Pennsylvania Committee of Pub lie Safety has been advised by the Federal authorities that a chain letter plan, "for the purpose of founding a special hospital in France, for treat¬ ment of wounds in the face and jaw," should be discouraged. Recipients of the letter were requested to send twenty-five cents to the French Con¬ sul at Seattle, and to write five friends to do likewise. This letter was put in circulation through a misunder¬ standing. It links the name of the Red Cross with the enterprise, but the American Red Cross announces that it has never agreed to help finance such a hospital. The Red Cross arid the French .Ambassador are anxious ¦that the chain should be broken.
The Treasury Department has au¬ thorized disapproval of a chain let¬ ter plan which ha.s been started by some enthusiastic workers for the sale of War Savings Stamps. The Na¬ tional War Savings Committee also wish the public to understand that it did not instigate such a plan. In fact, the Federal authorities are opposed to all chain letter schemes.
That the Susouchania Trail is verj- much alive and promises results tha* may he of benefit to this community is evidenced by a triri over the south¬ ern part of the Trail by Ihe Board of Governois last week.
The trip was made to inspect and determine the route to connect the tiaii with the Lincoln Highway trom Harrisl-uig south; Gettysburg and York being bidders for this connec¬ tion.
The start was made from the Park Hotel, Williamsport, at 1»:00 a. m., Wednesday last and various members of the Board of Governors were add¬ ed to the party on the trip south un¬ til they seached Selinsgrove, where they were joined by the President of the As.^ociation, Dr. Aiken. The fol¬ lowing were members of the party:
Dr. Charles T. Aiken, president of the Assosiation, and wife, Selins¬ grove, Pa.; Hon. Walter T. Merrick, vice president; daughter, Marion, and son, Daniel, of Weilsboro; Max L. Lindheimei. secretary, wife and son. Lionel, of VVilliam.spoit, of the board of governors; A. H. Vosburg and wife, of Mansfield; Frank Snyder and wife, of Liberty; W. L. Shea and wife, Wat¬ sontown; Wm. Decker, wife and son, Sunbury; Dr. Wilmer, Milton; M. G. i'"inch, representing the • ortland Ce¬ ment Association; John Persons, of the Williamsport Sun.
The party lunched at Harrisburg where they were met by a delegation from York, composed of prominent business and professional men, repre¬ sentatives from the York Chamber of Commeice and the York County Auto¬ mobile Club. The members of the delegation all wore silk badges pre¬ pared for the occasion and had ban¬ ners on their cars, which read, "Boost the Susquehanna Trail." The route which they wished selected had also been posted with the same signs and much enthusiasm was manifested along the entire route. Mayor Hug- gent; uglier headed the York dele¬ gation of about twenty cars. 1 Thi .Mnv nrato..,ic(i n, York and v/ere t gcorted to The riMijrnitlccirff <-h •- hou.S( jf the York Oi nty Aut-; Club, where they were given a fine banquet and the privilege of the club extend¬ ed to them. At a meeting of the governors held at the Auto Club it was decided to go over the various routes between Harrisburg and York and accompanied by Mayor Huggen- truglier and others from York this was done Thursday morning. From York the party went to Gettysburg, via the Lincoln Highway. A trip was made over the battlefield and Camp Colt, where 6,0C0 of our new army are in training.
The route from Gettysburg to Har¬ risburg was inspected, the party reaching Harrisburg Thursday night, returning to Williamsport Friday.
Cndoubtedly the York route will be selected, as there is great enth'jsiasm
the e and  in    the nci^'^^io-'- ¦   ^i^ -
and it is hoped to continue the route to Washington, prooably via balLi- morc.
There is also a possibility of the route being continued from Lawrence¬ ville to Buffalo, either by way of Hor¬ nell or Bath, which would make a popular route from the Great Lakes to Washington and might be adopted by the national government as a mil¬ itary highway.
Plans are under way to erect signs along the route and other steps taken to advertise and popularize it. Every¬ body boost the Susquehanna Trail.
