This page preserves a nostalgic poem, 'The Old Normal Bell,' composed by alumnus John L. Shroy for the 1907 Millersville Alumni Banquet. Fondly recalling the bell that regulated student life at his old school, the verse reflects the sentimental literary culture of turn-of-the-century American alumni gatherings, and survives here as part of a family's keepsake collection.
