Class of 1895

Born on October 24, 1875 in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania to David K. and Elizabeth (Fohl) Appenzellar, Paul Peyton Appenzellar went to preparatory school in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania as well as Dickinson preparatory school in Carlisle. He entered the College in 1891 and in 1895 received his A.B. in the Latin-Scientific Section. During his college years Paul Appenzellar was the vice president of his sophomore class, a member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, the Whist Club, the Blaine Republican Club, and the Press Club. He was also manager of the Baseball Team.

Following graduation, he went on to teach at the Dickinson Preparatory School for two years. By 1905, he had become a member of a firm specializing in investment banking and soon thereafter became Director of the New York Railways Company. He married Edna Howell of New York City on March 2, 1909. Appenzellar created the firm of Swartwont and Appenzellar and became a member of the N.Y. Stock Exchange. He served on the boards of various New York-based companies, including the Dictaphone Corporation, which he helped found.

Soon after his exchange firm was purchased by the company of Merrill, Lynch, Pierre, Fenner & Beane, Appenzellar retired on money made from his investments and involvements with various organizations, including the National Republican Club.

Amy Fisher was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on December 29, 1872, the child of Daniel and Eva Brightbill Fisher. She attended Carlisle High School and Dickinson Preparatory School before entering Dickinson College in 1891. Graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1895 with her class, she secured a master of arts degree in 1897. During these two years, she also taught at the Preparatory School, having the distinction of being the first woman to do so.

In 1897 she became assistant principal of the high school in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, retaining her position there until 1904. She then returned to Carlisle, living at a house on the southwest corner of High and College Streets. In 1932, she returned to employment at Dickinson College, becoming curator of the growing collection of Dickinsoniana. She held this position until her death.

Amy Fisher died on April 6, 1938, having contracted a "fatal illness" during a two month South American cruise. She was sixty-five years old.

Sylvester Sadler was born in Carlisle on September 29, 1876, and attended Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania before transferring to Yale like his older brother, Lewis. Unlike Lewis, however, Sylvester completed his studies at Yale with a batchelor's degree and membership in Phi Beta Kappa. At Yale, he was classmates with Clarence Day, Jr., later famous for Life With Father.

After leaving Yale in 1896, Sadler returned to Carlisle and entered the Dickinson School of Law. His father, County Judge Wilbur Fiske Sadler, had in 1890 revived the law school, dormant since the death of Judge John Reed. Wilbur Sadler served as president of the law school, while his old friend and former client, William Trickett, served as dean. Sylvester Sadler thrived under the pedantic bachelor Trickett, and upon earning his law degree, Sylvester Sadler joined the faculty of the school.
