And as she watched, she could hear the low, measured breathing of the other girls, all sleeping quietly. But Miriam could not sleep. Her con- science troubled her, for after classes that afternoon she had thoughtlessly laughed at one of her suite-mates, Beatrice Johnson, because of the dress she wore. Oh, girls, see the terribly funny dress Beatrice is wearing, Miriam had said, and all the other girls laughed at Beatrice ' s discomforture. Beatrice had looked down at the dowdy, old-fashioned dress that had come to her that morning and which she had put on for the first time. Her eyes filled with tears as she faced her tormentors. I think it is a beautiful dress, she said, quietly. My mother made it for me, and every little stitch is a thought for me. With that she had turned and walked away. Beatrice had not spoken to the other girls when they all had entered the dormitory that night. She did not take part in the laughter and chatter, but went to bed. And later, when all the others had gone to sleep, Miriam, troubled by her conscience, could hear Beatrice sobbing softly in the next room. And she now lay awake, although Beatrice long since had cried herself to sleep. I have done wrong, she told herself as she looked out at the great disc of the moon sailing serenely and silently in the dark blue of the heavens. And it seemed to her that the moon smiled down at her, like a bright, chubby-faced old man, and it seemed also, to her troubled mind, that he spoke. You have done wrong, the moon seemed to say, but, my dear, you have partly atoned by admitting it. For a million years I have looked down upon the world and have witnessed the loves and hatreds of God ' s children. There always are little children and grown men, and nations who do wrong. Men fight and kill their own kind, and call it right be- cause they believe themselves justified. Conceit is what makes them think they are right, and selfishness justifies their acts, because it would hurt them to admit the wrong. Men do not like to hurt themselves. The old moon seemed now to smile. 35 How beautiful it would be, he continued, or seemed to continue, if all the world, like you, my dear, could admit its willfulness and promise not to repeat its hateful acts. There would be no selfishness, no petty jeal- ousies, no false pride. The dress your friend wore was beautiful in her eyes because one she loved and who loved her, made it. Who were you, my child, to call it unbeautiful? You cannot see with the eyes of another. I am sorry ; I did not mean to hurt, poor Miriam whispered, and as the tears started to flow she began to sob, very quietly. It seemed an aw- fully long time before she felt a hand touch her shoulder, and turning her head, she saw Beatrice bending over her. Miriam, you are crying; are you ill? she whispered. No, b-b-but I am-am — hateful and everything. And you are beauti- ful and your — your dress is beautiful. Miriam touched the other girl ' s cheek with her hand. And I shall not laugh at you again. But you must not cry, said Beatrice. See, I forgive you. And she bent down and kissed Miriam on the cheek, carefully lifted the covers and crawled in ; and thus at last they fell asleep while the wise old moon looked down and smiled. :si; A iflttiteitmmrr-Ntgljt ' s Sramt WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Under the Direction of ifluis Sams, Presented by ©hr ?mar QUaas.

I should think the minute you gaze on this scene you would recall that memorable field-trip that every Junior takes at his, or rather her, pleasure (?) under the motherly wings of our most excellent geography instructor, Miss Josephine Pettis. After a delightful ride on the Akron-Kent-Ravenna street car, we reach this place known as the Cuyahoga Gorge. As we entered the ravine that leads to the falls, an exclamation arose from one irreverant student. Golly, what a gulley. And as we laboriously climbed up and down the alpine slopes we were all convinced that it was some gulley. If we did not learn much from the enlightening explanations of the earth ' s features, at least we were impressed by two things, the glaciated telephone-poles and the mud-cracks. If you use a little geological knowledge and a bit of common sense you might find a synecline in this picture. Do you remember what a synecline is? One curious student tried to investigate conditions too far and found, by throwing herself down head first upon a rock, that it was resistant, in fact, very resistant. On the whole it was a very enjoyable trip. But the most delightful part of it all, and I ' m sure you will all agree, was the composing of the manuscript afterwards from knowledge gained by careful observation. is Juniors The age of wonderful happenings is certainly not yet past. In the history of K. S. N. C. what can compare with the spectacular passing of the Junior Class of 1919. September 26th, 1918, is a date to be remem- bered for it marked the entrance of this illustrious class into the activities of the school. Sixty-eight strong, we launched into a brilliant career, meeting with many obstacles (which were chiefly ourselves), but in the end conquering and finally reaching the highest goal that Juniors can attain. For our work in class, those of the faculty who were fortunate enough to instruct Juniors, will surely recommend us. In athletics the Juniors have truly given their share — as evidence just witness the captain of Moul- ton Hall basket ball team with her faithful guard and forward, and what about the whole bunch on the Lowry team? On the other hand, we have not neglected our social duties. The Juniors are discreet and have class parties just often enough to make a person appreciate one as something worth attending. It gives us great pleasure to have the honor of writing a word about this noteworthy and praise-deserving class, the Juniors of ' 19. But we regret that our skill cannot do justice to its many merits and heroines. We have always been welcomed with much merriment on the part of the Seniors and we have often wondered at the reason. But wait until we are Seniors and then we can understand their attitude. And may all the Juniors have the honor of returning next year to be- come Seniors of K. S. N.

A course in which the student is permitted to enter at the begin- ning of his course, upon the study of subjects of recognized College rank, and is not required to spend the first two years of his course in the study of elementary subjects of interest only to the student preparing to teach in the elementary schools. 2. A course in which the student is given the largest possible freedom in electing his work. For this reason only a limited number of subjects is required of all. Being a Normal College, all students completing the course are required to offer six credits in the theory of education and two in teaching. On the academic side all students must offer three credits in English, three credits in History, three credits in Science or Mathematics, and three credits in Agriculture, Household Arts or Manual Training. To prevent the dissipation of energy, each student must choose a Major sub- ject and present a minimum of nine credits in one department and a Minor subject with a minimum of six credits in one department. 3. A course in which the student may prepare himself for a superin- tendent, a supervisor of special subjects, or a teacher in the high School. Students electing this course have the advantages of the following op- portunities for securing a certificate to teach before completing the course. The elementary diploma may be obtained by completing two years of Col- lege work, and four credits in the elementary subjects. This work may be done in two years, and two summer terms. By taking a Major in Agri- culture, Household Arts, or Manual Training, with a total of twenty-five credits, the student may receive a special diploma in one of these subjects. on When Dreams Come True What a hard day it had been ! After I had put on my bathrobe and bedroom slippers, I cuddled up in the easiest chair I could find, and pre- pared to study. I could hear the wind howling outside and it seemed as if were tearing up the street, regardless of all obstacles. The snow hummed a low tune on the window pane. The stillness of the room, the raging wind, and the pattering snow on my window did very well as a lullaby, and before long I was fast asleep. Ding-g-g went the alarm clock. Get up? Why I had hardly fallen asleep. I reached over, pulled back the little lever and cuddled up under the warm covers, only to be awakened again in a few minutes by the same familiar ring. I got up and soon came to the realiza- tion that it was to be my first experience at teaching. A tired feeling still lingered, but after taking a few vigorous exercises, I felt much better. I arrived at the room assigned me, wishing I was leaving instead of entering it. I laid out the material I would work with, casting my eyes upon my lesson plan every few seconds, to make sure I would know just when and what to ask the children when the fatal hour arrived. What comes after the second problem? Oh, sure enough, I ought to rem ember that, but it seemed the more I thought, the more I forgot. Suddenly the door burst open, and thirty mischievous grins greeted me, as my little charges trooped into the room, evidently glad to work after their vigorous play outdoors. I felt strange and know I looked worse, but worst of all, the critic teacher was eyeing me up from head to foot, and every time I glanced at her, I grew speechless. If she would only leave the room, I knew I could get along all right. But that was out of the question, as she had previously informed me that she would remain in the room for the full period. The children sat staring at me with wide, speculative eyes — I had often seen the same expression on other children as they watched some strange animal in a zoo. Without any more preliminaries, I plunged in where angels fear to tread. First of all, I said, we will do some examples in division, and then we will go to the board, and then we will try some at our seats, and then when you get the answer, you may stand, and then — I glanced at the teacher, and as my eyes met the reproach in hers, I could feel the blood congeal in my veins. Oh, what did I say? I must have said something dreadful, but to save my soul, I could not think of what I did say. After sending a few of the children to the board, I gave them some simple prob- 61 lems in division at their seats, requesting them to stand upon getting the answer. Again I glanced at the teacher. She was writing something then, and perhaps she was not listening to what I was saying at all, so I hastily stole my fiftieth glance at the clock — five more minutes. In a short time almost every child had gotten an answer and was standing beside his desk. I called on some pupils for answers to the more simple problems, then went to the board to explain the harder ones. Even the hardest were to simple for most of the children, and I realized that I had made my problems too easy. This took up four more never-ending minutes. Sud- denly, I was very much startled to hear the teacher say, Miss , have the children be seated. She smiled, but I was afraid to trust that smile. Only one minute more. If the bell would only ring and relieve me of this agony. Teacher, who is the president of China? I gasped in con- sternation, but just at that moment the welcome bell sounded the time for dismissal. As the children left the room, and the teacher went with them, I sank upon the chair for a little much-needed rest. Suddenly I was awakened by some one shaking me, and shouting into my ear, Bea! aren ' t you ever going to get up? It is ten-thirty, and the lights will go out in a minute. up? It is ten-thirty, and the lights will go out in a minute. What a disappointment. It was only a dream. I still had my lessons to prepare for the next day, and those dreadful horrors to live through. —Beatrice A. VeVerka 62 ffBNOCHOOLi Miss May Prentice Director Mrs. E. M.

Dolph First Grade Miss Clara Hitchcock Kindergarten THE TRAINING SCHOOL In Science Hall there are nine rooms in which the chairs are occupied by active, wide-awake children. They are the children of the training school. For the first time a student teacher steps to the front in one of these rooms. Before her are seemingly endless rows of boys and girls. She be- gins the lesson ; all the psychological and pedagogical principles which she has studied for at least an hour and a half, five days of the week flee. If the corners of her eyes are not playing tricks with her, the training super- visor is writing numerous suggestions as to how the lessons might have been better. Will she ever be a teacher? Each day brings new problems, another lesson plan to write stacks of papers to carefully look over. Each day brings other things, more self confidence, more interest in the work. The training supervisor is human after all, and each criticism is construct- ive. A teacher ' s meeting is made even more helpful if Miss Prentice is present. When the year is finished, the student finds that the experience in the training school has been the most important factor in preparing her for her chosen work. 63 64 (5) YWCAX The Young Women ' s Christian Association of Kent State Normal Col- lege took up its work at the opening of the school year. On the first Friday night a Get Acquainted Party was held for the students. This was the first of many pleasantly planned social events for the year, but, on account of the Flu, most of them turned out to be merely plans, and not parties. The winter term went a little more smoothly, and during this time a Bible class was started under the direction of Mr. Pittinger. We are glad to report that we have succeeded in placing the Bible class on a credit basis. Aside from this, many social affairs were held, the most successful of them being the Colonial Party on February 21st. George and Martha Washington were there, and so were many other of our Colonial friends. Of course, we had the Minuet, danced by girls in quaint costume, and we were entertained by the Follies, readings and solos. The traveling secretary, Miss Helen Solt, of Cincinnati, helped the members in their work by her splendid talks. They were also greatly helped by the many friendly suggestions and the assistance of Miss Slaght and Miss Harris. At a special meeting the officers for next year ' s work were elected. They were as follows : President, Mary Lash ; Vice President, Statia Barth ; Secretary, Lucille Woodford ; Treasurer, Carol Watson. The members of the Y. W. feel that they cannot sufficiently thank all those who helped them with their year ' s work. They can only hope that future organizations will be benefited by their help as was ours. 67 Y. W. C.

This organization automatically includes in its membership every woman student of Kent State Normal College. Its executive board con- sists of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and two repre- sentatives from each department in the school. The purpose of the League is the betterment of the physical, mental, and spiritual welfare of the girls in our College. Last year a beginning was made, and as we all know, to make a be- ginning is the hardest part of any project. This year we have made con- siderable progress; the Woman ' s League today stands for definite princi- ples, it is a constructive force in the school, and best of all, the girls recog- nize it as their friend. Next year and all of the years to come offer infinite possibilities of growth for the League, and it is the sincere hope of the present League that these possibilities will some day be realized. 71 73 COLLEGE LINE-UP Ruth Hawkins, G.

At the beginning of the season most of th e girls who turned out had never played before, but their interest and enthusiasm soon made up for this. Practice started off with a rush, then, of course, training rules came into play, with the foregoing of the delicious pies and cakes at the Dorm, and the deli- cate candies sent by unknown parties. Walking and running soon had every member of the five teams in the pink of condition for the fray, which started on March 8. The first game was an excellent starter for the tournament, the audience, composed of Home Coming Alumni, was full of the game and the players lived up to their expectations with a snappy, exciting game. Lowry and Moulton Halls, rivals of last year, met again to test their strength. Lowry led off with two baskets, gained by snappy team-work. Moulton then tightened up, and the half ended with the score 5 to 2 in Lowry ' s favor. In the second half, Lowry increased her lead by four. Then, in the last three minutes Moulton started a rally that netted them two baskets. But the whistle ended this and left the score standing 9 to 6 in Lowry ' s favor. The next games played were equally exciting, the College defeating the High School by a score of 10 to 8, Carl starring for the High School and Woodford for the College. Moulton then played the Off-Campus in a rather slow game, that ended with Moulton on the long end of the score, 13 to 1. Moulton won over the College in a fast game of 12 to 5. Stringer starred for Moulton, making six field goals. The Off-Campus had bad luck with Lowry, in that Mehnert became exhausted and was forced to leave the game, which ended with the score of 25 to 8. The Off-Campus defeated the College to the tune of 4 to 3, Mehnert starring for the 0. C ' s. 7S The climax of the tournament was reached when the College met and defeated Lowry with a score of 10 to 9. From the standpoint of team- work this was the best game played during the whole tournament. The work of the College guards with the brilliant playing of C. Kilgore was the chief factor that made the College victory possible. By this upset of the dope, Lowry was forced to play a series with Moulton to settle the dis- pute for first place. Lowry won the first game by the score of 14 to 6, Reed starring for Lowry, and Stringer for Moulton. In the next game Moulton was de- feated by the score of 15 to 9, therefore cinching the cup for Lowry. This had been a long hard grind for everybody, the months of self- denial were past, for that evening cakes and pies at the Dorm were con- sumed, and the candies were fully appreciated. 79 p  f [I jfl v j l 1 fl ■IMH SkV 1 - ] fl 1 1 fl I - f m [ p— ■c ' -y:.

Those first few days are never to be forgotten. It was a time when we took unto ourselves many new things. We found that it would be a great life if you didn ' t weaken. Practically the first new thing was a mess kit. I know, had it not been for a gnawing at my stomach I should have mistaken it for a new- fangled mouse-trap, or bird-cage ; in fact, anything but tools for off -bear- ing stew. The art of juggling them had to be learned ,and many a preci- ous pan of stew or cup of coffee was spilled down a comrade ' s neck in the process. And woe be it to the lad who spilled his, because too often it was emphatically announced, No seconds. Then the poor Mess Sergeant, cooks, and even the Kitchen Police caught it. The story goes the rounds that one of the boys wrote home, telling his mother that he had been appointed K. P. that day. Not understanding the term exactly she responded that he should be kind to the boys, remember- ing that he was once a private himself. Having once fallen in line for mess, it pays to stay in line, because to fall out means to go to the rear. After dining, the dishes must be washed, and one must take his turn for that also. Two tubs of water are provided ; one for washing and another for rinsing. Next find a buddy who has a dish towel or, that being impossible, a gun-rag or dirty shirt must suffice. Mess call is the first call to be learned, and many rhymes are sung to it. The most popular one runs like this : Soupee, soupee, soupee, without a single bean ; Porkee, porkee, porkee, without a streak of lean. There is one call that could possibly get a man out of the mess line, and that is mail call, with the possibility of eats from home. Even in these early days in camp we cried about the grub, when we hadn ' t even tasted Corn Willie and had never heard of hard-tack. How glad we were then, when we got orders to go to Detroit for the pur- pose of conveying motor trucks to Baltimore. Now our eating was to take a different aspect. A kitchen truck was provided, and thinking that was my chance, I spoke for it. But sorry was I, for I had to be the first man out in the morning and the last to bed at night. Thanks to the spirit of the people, we were not compelled to eat our own cooking much of the time. Our mess kits became a superfluity. We dined at tables covered with white cloths and there were real plates and silverware and pie and cake. I remember having eaten so much pie at Ravenna that one kind lady thought I really liked it, and slipped me another piece as we filed out of the building. Having had the good fortune to be snowed in at Pittsburg for two weeks, we were shown a good time by the big bugs of the burg. Of course they had been warned to count their silverware, etc., as soon as we left. The Red Cross were on the job all of the time. Good cakes and pretty waitresses appeal to any soldier. All honor to the Red Cross ; they did much for us here as well as in Europe. After such treatment, of course we objected to being sent back to camp, having completed our third trip. Now that the weather was get- ting nice, the temperature having risen from about thirty below to that much above zero, we wished to continue in convey service. 96 June 13th, 1918, we shipped from Boston Harbor in a British ex-mule boat. Having been to sea about twenty-four hours, dining was tempor- arily suspended for many of us, and I spent a large part of my time at the rail, looking for the bottom of the sea. Recovering from this false affec- tion for the rail, I found that the stuff the chink cooks were stirring up, was likely to bring back an acute attack of the same thing ; so I dieted for the rest of the voyage on bread and onions. The tables from which we ate in the day, served as clothes racks at night, for those who weren ' t too scared to lay off any of their habiliment. In the morning we tied up our hammocks, which swung over the tables, so that we could eat without bumping our heads. As soon as we set foot on terra firma, which happened to be at Liverpool, England, my stomach felt better. We rationed with the British a few days, but their cheese, strong tea and beer did not appeal much to the Yankees, and we were glad to get back to pork and beans and bread and jam. French cafe ' s served a small variety of eatables, if one knew how to ask for them. However, most of us had deferred our study of French until we arrived and felt the great necessity of it. As it stood, the best contortionist was our best interpreter. After eating came the difficult operation of paying. The Sammie, if he had learned how to say com- bein and wanted to practice it, asked her how much it was. Then, not knowing what she said in response, he handed her all his money and she took what she liked and returned the rest. No wonder the prices went up. I am told by an honorable man that he saw one negro accost another and ask him where he could get something to eat. Now it happened that the one accosted was a French negro, and, of course, muttered something in French in response. Whereupon the Sammie ejaculated, Good Lawd, man ! Hab you been among dese frogs so long you done forgot your own language? French women are good cooks and many a Sammie ' s heart was won thus. Etiquette differs in different strata of society, but a few customs I noticed were quite prevalent. Every one was expected to furnish his own knife. Now as the only knife I owned was a bayonet, and it was a little clumsy for table use, they managed to stir up an extra. The bread, I mean the loaf, was passed around and each one suided off a chunk. Wine is the principal drink. I remember having seen water drunk once, and that by a woman. Soup constitutes the principal course. A large dish is put in the center of the table and each takes a helping therefrom, and the music be- gins. For, their soup-spoons being deep and pointed, there is but one way, and that is to literally suck the soup from it. At last came the Armistice, and after one grand celebration, thoughts flew ho meward, and every day seemed a month. Just to get out of this mud and rain. We had rain on our mush and rain in our coffee. We surely believed the fellow who said, that all that was necessary to be a weather prophet in France was to know the word for Rain. And then, oh ! for a dish of ice-cream. We had forgotten, did you eat it with a fork ? Once more we came in sight of the First Lady of the Land, and I quit my place at the mess table to poke my head out a port hole and throw her a kiss. Of course, she didn ' t return it. but that never hurts any one ' s feel- ings; because she has her hands full and troubles of her own. — Harold Rex. 97 (7) Her Private Secretary The first streaks of dawn crept through the window of a luxuriously furnished bed-room on upper Fifth Avenue, enveloping a figure, lying in a huddled position on a bed in one corner of the room. Shortly, a knock is heard, and some one says, Dick, Dick, Richard, it is six o ' clock. Slowly the figure rolled over, untwisting itself somewhat, but still in deep slumber. Again the voice is heard, with feminine impatience, much like an echo of the first word, Dick, Dick, Richard, it is six o ' clock. A change is pro- duced in the vicinity of the bed, the figure it contains slowly rises. There is the familiar sound that accompanies a good yawn and simultaneously a voice replies, Yes, mother. A firm but boyish hand is thrust through a mop of black hair, brown, fearless eyes look out from heavily arched brows, a well-shaped nose exerts its function of letting its owner know that bacon is on the breakfast menu and a strong chin relapses in a smile. Reader, you are meeting Richard Shaw (Dick to his intimate friends), the only son of Mrs. J. M. Cartwright, a wealthy widow and story writer. This day marks the departure of said Dick to a southern training camp, where he will endeavor to win a commission, and then see France. He didn ' t seem to mind leaving, do you think? At any rate, his smile is against him, and we all know he has awakened on the right side of the bed at least. Let us return to the same house in the afternoon and steal through the French windows leading to the library. An atmosphere of wealth sur- rounds us, and as our eyes travel about the room with curiosity, they revert back to that which first arrests one ' s attention, upon entrance to the room, a grey head, bent in the attitude of writing, whose owner is seated at a mahogany desk working laboriously with pen and lips. The 25th day of June, 1917. — On this day, all pictures, personal property, etc., of my son Richard must be removed from my sight. Two great disappointments have come to me. Today my only child left to train for service in the great war. Yes, and why do I have to give him up, my only cheer and comfort, while other mothers ' sons are still at home. Also, it was not enough that he leave me, but last night he told of his great love for some wild creature, whom I know nothing about. He met her last spring, just a little over a year ago, while at Uncle David ' s lumber camp in Maine ,and vows that when he returns from war he is going to bring this creature here to my home, as his wife. Just out of college, young and fool- ish, — what a prey he was for her. When he told me of this affair, I be- came so enraged that I could hardly contain myself. How many times have I wished and planned upon his marriage to the Judge ' s daughter, and now I must see my dreams shattered, my pride scorned at, and the family name allied with that of some forest creature. No, it must never be. When he kissed me good-bye this morning, I could not help but think of her kissing him, and my heart was broken. It was first the death of Dick ' s father that started to turn my hair grey. Then I married Cartwright merely for Dick ' s sake, and then when he died and Dick alone was left to me, I continued to live for him alone ; and now, — oh ! the disappointment is almost too great to bear. My hair will be white sooner or later from all this, and I know if Dick returns and brings that girl with him, the blow will kill me. This has been a very unhappy day. The pen ceased its scratching and the book was closed with a slow, discouraged movement. On the front of it are the words, My Diary. As the bended head comes up, a sad but determined face of a woman comes 98 with it. Her eyes are wet, but her mouth and chin are set like tempered steel. You have guessed that she is Dick ' s mother, and perhaps are con- trasting mother and son: At this moment she rises and moves with state- liness across the room, bent on closing the French doors, which seemed to be admitting a draft. Good morning, I have come in answer to the advertisement in the Times, for a secretary to an elderly woman. May I see the advertiser, please? These words, spoken quickly and in a business-like manner, came from the prettiest pair of lips ever required to make a woman beautiful. The owner, standing on the steps of the Cartwright residence, wore a trim blue suit, and a saucy hat of the same color. Her tan walking shoes were well- polished, and rested firmly on the stone step ; and she did not fidget from loot to foot. A maid admitted her, and after a short interval, she found herself facing an elderly woman, who seemingly needed a secretary. I am Mrs. Cartwright ; you have doubtless read some of my short stories in the Post. I have been doing my own writing, but find now that my work for six or eight weeks will be very heavy, too heavy in fact, to get along without the services of a typist. Then the usual conversation between an employer and one wishing to be employed, followed. Mrs. Cartwright found out that Ruth Day was the name of her applicant, that her home had originally been in a small village in Maine, and that she had been living with her aunt in New York, while attending business college. Her aunt had been very sick with pneumonia that had proven fatal a few weeks ago, and Ruth, although her course was not completed at school, found it necessary to seek some kind of employ- ment. The paper, that she held in her hand, had directed her, and she did hope that Mrs. Cartwright would consider her application favorably. Mrs. Cartwright was touched by the story, and then, since she wished her secretary to act in the capacity of a companion, also, and Ruth ap- peared so cheerful, she decided to hire her at a salary of $25 per week. Of course her secretary was to live right there and become a member of the household. That night we find Ruth Day before the mirror in her bed-room. As she looks at the face in the mirror with its wonderfully big blue eyes, perky little nose and pouting lips, she suddenly smiles, and of course the other face smiles back at her, showing an even row of white teeth. What a fortunate girl I am, she said to herself, continuing to smile. Now I can make my own living and send something home to Cousin Jane occasionally, and here in these beautiful surroundings I can surely forget ' him, ' or perhaps I can rise to his equal. But, oh. he was so educated, and I could never have married one in his position. My lover! So he said he was; and yet how could he love me, a poor lumberjack ' s daughter! Well, I must forget him ,and my work will help me. Throwing her head of black hair back, preparatory to braiding, Ruth Day decided many things for one little girl to decide for herself. Three months have elapsed, and during those three months, Mrs. Cartwright ' s secretary has gained the place of a daughter in the home. Ruth is beloved by all of the servants, has a big place in the not over big heart of Mrs. Cartwright, and is respected and admired by all of the old families on the Cartwright calling list. During this time, Ruth has discovered that some dark secret hangs over the household, as to an only son of her em- ployer. Although she doesn ' t even know his name, she knows that there is such a person, now serving in the army, who writes frequently to his mother, but rarely receives answers to his letters. Ruth notices that her benevolent friend gives liberally to the Red Cross, but never goes there to work in her spare time. In fact she has often urged Mrs. Cartwright to acompany her there, but never have Ruth and Mrs. Cartwright been seen 99 going together to the Red Cross, or to hear a speaker on any question of the great war. The only excuse she offers is that her writing must be hurried, and while Ruth is out, she may be organizing her thoughts for tomorrow ' s work. And so the months slip by and Mrs. Cartwright ' s work is coming to a visible end. Of course she cannot let Ruth go when the writing is fin- ished, and so persuades her to stay at least until summer, just as a com- panion at the same salary. Ruth had planned to return to Maine that spring, but changes her plans and agrees to stay until the latter part of August, at least. It was the fifth of May when a telegram came early in the morning, which shocked Mrs. Cartwright so that she retired to her room for the day. Since Ruth was free for the time being, she decided to go down to the can- teen and help out there in the preparations for the arrival of some troops from a western camp, who were on their way to France. Garbed in a Hoover apron, Ruth manfully stood behind the counter at the canteen for hours that day, serving hungry soldiers with chow, as they called it. It was a tired girl that ascended the steps of the Cartwright home that even- ing, and as she opened the door, she was aware of a hushed atmosphere. Doggedly, she climbed the stairs to her room to dress for dinner. A half hour later she came down, refreshed, and looking extremely pretty, in an organdy frock. Madam would like to see you, Ruth ; she is in the living room. Thank you, Marie, replied Ruth to the trim little maid who had given her the message, and directly started for the living roo m. When she reached the portiers, she stopped shortly. What was there in the man ' s voice, speaking in the next room, that fairly made her heart stop beating? Why, Ruth, how foolish, with these words and a careless shrug of her shoulders, she proceeded into the room. You wanted me, Mrs. Cartwright? Even as she spoke, she was aware of a third presence in the room. It seemed to be in the vicinity of the mantle at the side of the room, but since it was dusk, and only the lamp at the desk was lighted, it was impossible to make out who the individual was. Richard, this is my secretary, Miss Day. Suddenly a khaki figure separated itself from the gloom, and turning with a start, faced her. Ruth! Why, Dick ! And in a moment the dignified secretary of Mrs. Cart- wright was enveloped in the arms of a handsome lieutenant. Yes, it is the same Dick who greeted us early one morning, some months ago, only how much bigger he is, and not at all like the boy of yesterday. After the shock of the surprise is over, many explanations follow. Dick tells Ruth how he has written and written, and always had his letters returned. Of course, his mother had mentioned that she had hired a very capable secretary to help her with her spring stories, but she had never mentioned her name. Mrs. Cartwright wrote many things in her diary that night, and repented what she had written a year ago, about a girl whom she had judged so wrongly. Dick ' s furlough is rapidly coming to an end and yet Ruth has withheld her answer ; an answer which means so much to every girl. Dick has de- cided that they must be married immediately, and Mrs. Cartwright begs Ruth to become her daughter before Dick leaves for France. How differ- ently she feels towards the girl whom she once fairly hated, and yet loved, ever since she knew her. Reader, I leave them to you ; you decide for Ruth — but be sure she is happy ever afterward ! —I. A. T. Mill The Great K. S. N. C. Pageant One of our biggest disappointments this year was the fact that we Seniors couldn ' t help stage the greatest pageant ever produced in the State of Ohio, to be presented to the public next year. Do you remember when we, the class of English 12, Winter Term, used to spend hours and hours in the Library and stay in and up nights looking up material on how Brady made his famous leap ; how our pioneer grandmothers made candles and Our disappointment in not being able to take part in this, is somewhat quilts; how our Normal School actually happened to be here, — and dozens of other things you couldn ' t see any sense in at all? And then during the evening study hours at the Dorm, when we would be holding an animated committee meeting discussing and demonstrating just how Brady made his leap, or some equally difficult subject, an unsympathetic inmate from the next room would burst in and confront us with, How in the world do you expect me to study Geography when thirteen of you are performing English? Of course, we didn ' t expect her to. But, anyway, that was her problem to solve, not ours. Well, we of the English 12, worked diligently, faithfully, earnestly on just how the pageant should be worked up. We turned our material over and around, in and out, took out here and added there, till it began to look like something. It took on the shape and form of the great idea we were endeavoring to make out of it. We planned to present it in June, and even went so far as to choose some of our actors. Did we ever tell you about how vicious one of the girls was to Evil Eye, the villian, and how she wanted him killed off and gotten rid of as quickly as possible. And how mean we were to hall right around and choose her to take the part of that self-same Evil Eye ! We cannot help but wonder whether there ' ll always be an objection if an anthill or some other kind of a hill should assist in Brady ' s leap. No doubt ferocious Evil Eye would suggest that we apply a lash or two, and maybe more, to all objectors. We were getting along just fine with our work when the Influenza again walked into our midst and for several weeks, the main cogwheel of our machinery was missing. Then it grew too late for us to stage our pageant, so we decided to leave that task to the next class of English 12. alleviated by the hope that we can return next year to see the results of our efforts. We wish the greatest success to the new English class and hope that they will enjoy their work as much as we did ours. — English 12, 1919, Winter Term. 101 Farewell to Professor Marker Another disappointment and surprise which came to the Seniors was that Professor George E. Marker, our class advisor, was to leave for the west before the completion of our Senior work. Mr. Marker has been our advisor for two years and has helped and guided us in many ways, and it was indeed a great disappointment to find that he would not be with us until the end of our Normal School work. We certainly wish Mr. Marker happiness during his trip to the West and sucess in his work at Cheney Normal. 102 103 Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Comes a pause in the Chestnut Burr, That is known as the JOKES.

Charlotte Payne — These — boys ! Dot Haessly — What could be sweeter? Vera — Sit here, please. Irene — Dear Pal of mine. Am I? Ruth— Oh, kid! Flora — Oh, I must study. Emily — Spen ' will bring me back. Esther — Oh, I haven ' t written my letter to Biddie. Rowena — Say, I ' m going down town and get something more to eat. SCHOOL PERSONALITIES The Desk — Receptive, sympathetic ; likes to be leaned on. The Waste Basket — Intemperate, aggressive; frequently gets full, and is full of scraps. The Inkwell — Extremely versatile — can write a wrong and wrong a write. The Blotter — Retentive ; absorbs a great deal. The Calendar — Contemporaneous, but lazy, always up to date, but frequently a month off. 106 The Twenty -Third Psalm (As read by the Editors) The Chestnut Burr is my work ; it shall not wait. It maketh me to sit down in deep thought ; it leadeth me into strange dreams. It restoreth my memories ; it leadeth me into the paths of sleepless nights for its own sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of ignorance, I shall have no fear; for it is with me; its jokes and its slams, they comfort me. It prepareth a flunk before me in the presence of my teachers ; and they annoint my head with lectures, while my eyes runneth over. Surely work and agony shall follow me all the days of my life ; but I will dwell with the pages of the Chestnut Burr forever. Lost — An umbrella, by an old man with bent ribs. Bathing suits reduced to almost nothing. Wanted ! A bov to deliver oysters, that can ride a bicvcle. Pat — How can I drive this nail without mashing my finger? Mike — Hold the hammer with both hands. Miss Davis — What do you think of closing school? Mr. Marker — I think the soldiers would like a little chicken on the side lines as well as on the table. Bull dog for sale. Will eat anything. Very fond of children. THE WAIST An imaginary line is the waist, Which seldom stays long where it is placed ; But ambers and slips Twixt shoulders and hips, According to popular taste. 107 Mr. Marker ' s Soliloquy How dear to my heart are the Seniors of nineteen, When fond recollections of them I recall ; The three ' s, the four ' s, the one ' s, the plus marks, And those awful quizzes! They stood thru them all. How often I spoke to those pupils assembled, (They were a remarkable class I full know;) They never did come with an unprepared lesson, Time could not foretell that I could miss them so. They never skipped classes ; they knew all of James, And always remembered his top of page ten ; They struggled thru Hart without one complaint, And took my advice on all matters to them. At eve when I think of those forty-page lessons, Which often, quite often, I gave them, so cruel ; In pain, then, I think of their virtues apparent. Oh! will such a class again enter our school? Chorus: Those patient old Seniors, the mistreated Seniors, Those remarkable Seniors of nineteen nineteen. (Sung to the tune of The Old Oaken Bucket ) THESE FLIGHTS OF FANCY When Emma Andrews appears as a quakeress. When Grace Dean dances the Fox-trot. When Miss Cruttenden flirts with the skinners. When Miss Davis is embarrassed. When Rose Link appears anywhere on time. When Mr. Layton lectures on Pedagogy. When the two Charlottes cease to like Melons. When Dot Shea gets Fat. When our new Physical Education building appears. When Lucille Smith knows for sure she can teach next year. When Thelma will stand still and be bossed. When Esther Fults doesn ' t get a letter. When Hazel Quinlin produces three volumes of deep literature. When Dorothy Saner smiles. m,-, DISADVANTAGES OF K. S. N. C.

Conductoretta. IMPORTANT THEATRICAL NOTICE The pageant to have been given June 1919 at K. S. N. C. will be de- layed until June 1920 because the engine drawing the Erie train No. 13 has had an attack of rheumatism and can not move with his usual speed. All actors of the pageant are on this train and we would hate to give the play without them. S. A. Skittinger, Manager. NOTICE Any one wishing to obtain chairs educated at K. S. N. C may do so by applying at Moulton Hall. These chairs are absolutely guaranteed to walk across the floor in five minutes.

To Introduce — We will send one of each of the above books for $1.00. THE personal and close attention of the teacher to the pupil ' s needs is assured by the use of supplementary work. The Britton Supplementary Leaflets furnish pupils with such work as is adapted to them. Hitherto, teachers have been obliged to search here and there for appropriate material which, when found, had to be written on the blackboard or dictated for the pupils to copy; and while this method in most cases produced very satisfactory results, yet upon the whole, it was somewhat desultory as to the character of the work done and wasteful of the time and energy of the teacher. The use of Britton ' s Supplementary Leaflets will relieve the teachers of much of the drudgery which was heretofore necessary. The mere mechanical and formal methods of work usually ascribed, if supplemented by the Britton Exercises, means a more sympathetic outgoing of the teacher ' s mind and heart toward those to be instructed.
