THE CARDINAL of the Senior Class of 1918 Dedication This volume is dedicated to O. W. Kitchell, A. M., D. Sc., whose kindly interest and good humor have contributed much toward making our course in the Normal School an inspiration and success. Dr. Kitchell O. W. Kitchell AM., DSc. Dr. O. W. Kitchell was born at Newark, New Jersey, and attended the Newark Public Schools, graduating from the Newark High School. He then entered Columbia College and received the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Philosophy. After that he took a graduate course at Columbia, re- ceiving the degree of Master of Arts. He taught Natural Science in the Gram- mar School of Rutgers College for a time and then returned to Columbia for further graduate study. In 1899, Dr. Kitchell was admitted to the Bar in New Jersey and has since studied in the Graduate School of Cornell University. After having received the degree of Doctor of Science from Bucknell College, he ac- cepted the position as head of the Department of Mathematics in the Pennsyl- vania State Normal School at Lock Haven. In the Fall of 1903, he came to Plattsburgh where for fifteen years he has been head of the Department of Mathematics. Foreword We, the Editorial Staff of the 1918 Cardinal have compiled this book for the students of the State Normal School at Plattsburgh. Although our attempts at composition are not grand productions of literature, we have endeavored to put into this edition of the Cardinal that which will bring to mind pleasant memo- ries of our Normal School Days. So. when in years to come, you find this little book, possibly covered with dust, please read it in the way that it is meant to be read. And if you with your long experience and fine culture feel inclined to criticize, kindly remember that : If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do. Chapels had been churches and poor men ' s cottages ' princes ' palaces. ' The Staff. The Editorial Staff Flora A. Purvis Editor-in-Chief Mi la A. Hinds Assistant Editor-in-Chief Laura C.

Now Fate decrees that we enter that institution to test our ability to do with it or to do without it. We are met within the very walls of that building. We have come to subject ourselves as a grateful offering to the mercy of such tyrannical officers as the State has placed here to produce its martyrs. But even we with all our superior power cannot alter the set customs of this antiquated institution with its venerable personifications of Knowledge. Our poor sisters both living and dead who have been constrained here have proved it far better than we of shorter experience. People of today comment much upon what we secure here but they can never realize what we endure here. Naught therefore remains but to go about our tasks, submissively receiving Miss Canity ' s sarcasm and Dr. Henshaw ' s jokes and courageously looking forward to coming ordeals. Our one happiness is in the dear old carefree high school days which are gone forever. Page twelve How the Class of 1 918 Proposes to Do Its Bit The real meaning of patriotism is sinking more and more deeply into the hearts of all true Americans today and every real patriot has done or is doing something to help his country in this, her hour of need. In all probability every member of the Class of 1918 is in either one or both of these classes. Nevertheless there remains something more that we can do — a bigger thing than most of us have yet done, great as arc the sacrifices which some of us have been called upon to make of our near and dear ones. To those making these sacrifices this way of showing our patriotism will doubtless seem a difficult one, for we propose to express our patriotism by helping our friends and all with whom we come in contact to see the silver lining of this terrible war cloud. It would take a prophetic vision and greater minds than ours to foretell the future good which will result from this fearful conflict, but the least of us cannot but admit that, in a world of reason, such an upheaval cannot be without a pur- pose. Furthermore we are blind indeed if we have not noticed some of its good effects which are before us every clay. A few of these are the intermingling of all classes and religious sects; the instilling of the habit of thrift and economy in the minds of a people so nearly forgetting these things ; and the habit of being busy which is coming to be possessed by all, rich and poor. Then there is the wonderful improvement in our boys themselves, as a result of their military training. Is it not reasonable then that the good effects of this terrible struggle will, in our country at least, balance the evil ones? It seems that if we as a class can believe this and try to help others to see it, we will be showing our patriotism in the deepest sense and proving ourselves true to the most wonderful colors under which a class ever graduated. Farewell The class of 1918 has been loyal and true. There have been many ways in which we, as a class, might have been better. Our two years at Plattsburgh State Normal School are drawing to a close. We regret any failings we may have had and look forward to a future in which we will labor only for glory in appreciation of our dear old school.

Roisii Victoria P. Dougan Madeleine D. Pettet Helen S. Bond President . President . Secretary Treasurer Alpha and Omega Among Shakespeare ' s famous writings we find this passage : All the world ' s a stage, And all its men and women merely players : They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. So we might with Shakespeare fittingly compare the past two years of our lives with the scenes of a drama, the climax of which is near at hand. The morning of September IS, 1916 witnessed the rising of the curtain as our caste composed of about seventy-five characters filed into the corridors and classrooms of the Plattsburgh State Normal to stage what we anticipated— a successful production. Although we were young and inexperienced on the stage of human life and although wc hadn ' t among our number any actresses of an Anne Pennington or Bessie Macoy Davis type yet we had the courage of our con- victions that we learn to do by doing and so launched out bravely with the greatest of confidence and severity. For the first few weeks Normal life was indeed a novelty. Rush parties and sorority teas proved to be fitting precautions against homesickness. To be sure these were a privilege, but the Junior class knew how to use them and for the most part were wise in attending to work before play. At the close of the social season both the Generals and Commercialites retired to a more secluded life. Tilling the soil of mind and pulling the weeds of error were the order of the day. Soon the holidays were at hand and after a few days of rest to regain our equilibrium the Junior class was in better spirits than ever to carry on its noble work. Mid-year with all that it meant loomed up before us with an unusual problem, namely, a series of final exams, but the Juniors with few exceptions ably mastered the situation. Following this according to the usual custom we were favored with a little recreation which took the form of a mid-year dance. After commendable preparation on the part of some of the Juniors and Seniors the big social event proved a creditable success on the evening of January 30, 1917. The second semester then dealt out to each one of us ample rations to keep us mentally satisfied. The Generals particularly appreciated this diet both in quality and quantity for previous to this time they had been trying out the Page sixteen practice of food conservation — mentally speaking. The menu of mental delicacies supplied by the faculty indeed stimulated us but the adequate digestion of it all took from February until June. Shortly after mid-year the Junior class organized choosing as its manager Mr. Girard. Like Charles Dillingham, Mr. Girard realized from the outset what such a position meant and worked in the interests of those for whom he was held responsible. Right at this point a noteworthy incident occurred behind the scene. The Seniors feeling that our intellects hadn ' t sufficiently matured to conduct a business meeting decided to await its outcome. Naturally of a restless, weary disposition they became uneasy as a child docs when awaiting something that is promised him. In the course of one of the episodes they so adjusted part of the scenery that it resulted in a misfortune to one of our actresses and somewhat hampered the progress of events. How deplorable ! a class supposed to be superior to us in standing and years. Such a class took pleasure in bringing chaos and dis- order upon the members of our caste. Shortly after this one morning the rear of the assembly hall presented a commendable spectacle when each member of the Junior class wearing our class colors, red, white and blue, and equipped with a copy of our class song stood in eager suspense to let the Seniors know we were there. The Seniors sat aghast as they listened to the strains of our melody absolutely unable to appreciate the opportunity that was afforded them. All that day, however, we thought that the Seniors had sworn allegiance to the Kaiser for they totally ignored our class. Fortunately this idea was misjudged on our part for we later discovered that owing to a lack of mental alertness they were unable at all times to recognize the red, white and blue. Onward the Junior class perscveringly strove until we were soon aware that the first scene of our drama had been successfully played. Friendships that had grown up between the two classes were about to be severed. Although we were conscious of the short-comings of the Seniors, yet we knew their good points outweighed their weaker ones and as a testimonial of our good will we enter- tained them with a dance on the evening of June 15, 1917. which proved an en- joyable success. The Senior Reception followed shortly after this and then Com- mencement day after which the lively, busy classrooms and corridors were sub- dued once more to silence for the summer months. It was soon September, however, and on the morning of the twelfth almost all our number were once more assembled for the enactment of our final scene. Now we were Seniors. Ours was the duty to guide and encourage those en- trusted to our care, namely, the Juniors. Pane seventeen lTie usual social activities predominated for the first few weeks. These, however, were shortlived for the Seniors desiring to keep up their good reputation settled down to work in a firm business-like way. The members of our drama then reorganized by means of a Senior class meeting at which Miss Robb was this time elected manager. The time sped on all too fast until mid-year with its gloomy anticipations was upon us. But the Seniors naturally optimistic and endowed with something of an idea of the subject matter of the first term ' s work managed to survive at this particular period. The second semester rolled around witli its problems for each one of us but the fact that we were Seniors made it necessary that we surmount any difficulty so of course we accepted the new contributions with all manner of cheerfulness and good will. Along with its daily labors the Senior class succeeded in awakening the Juniors from a listless, dreamy state of mind to which they had fallen victims. We felt that our efforts had been more than repaid for not only did we accom- plish our purpose but we acquired a clearer conception of the meaning of the Renaissance which so often troubled us in History of Education. To be sure wc might feel that our production was enhanced by having the opportunity to present it to an audience even though it were in the form of an analogy to such a profound occurrence as the awakening in the Middle Ages. On the evening of March 16 the gymnasium was the scene of a very en- joyable social function in which both Juniors and Seniors and their friends took pact. The effective decorations and the fine music for which the committees in charge should be credited contributed in no small part to the success of this event. The time from this point on seemed as a fleeting hour whose end was destined shortly to be upon us. Indeed these two years although they have been filled with labors have been pleasant ones. Now that the curtain is about to lower, I feel that our sentiments should be expressed toward those who have made possible the success of our past undertaking. And in behalf of the class of 1918 I extend to our honored faculty our sincere gratitude. Our struggle together has joined us more closely as a class, and has deepened our friendships, which we will carry with us through life. Whatever and wherc- ever we may be in the future, we shall always remember the golden haze of student days, and endeavor to be everywhere loyal to our Alma Mater, to our Country and the Right. Catherine McQuillan. Payc riyhtirn President ' s Address Farewell. At this time throughout the length and breadth of the world there is being said farewell by millions — perhaps not to be renewed until democracy is triumphant. Today the class of 1918 stands triumph ant, but in our achievements let us bear in mind that we are merely advancing on the first round of the ladder that is inclined for our success or failure. And as we assume the duties for which we have labored eagerly, we assume an obligation of moulding the minds of pupils to honesty of principles and to a rectitude of character which will make them worthy citizens. If we can do these things we will be rewarded by a satisfied mind which spells success. And I feel that if ever a class could accomplish this slogan, it is our class, the class of 1918. Dr. Hawkins and Members of the Faculty. In our two years of school life we acknowledge you as our staunchest friends. We owe you much and more than we can hope to repay. Your unselfish devotion to our welfare has been unfailing and we beg you to accept our deepest gratitude and best wishes for your succeeding years. Classmates. The day of joy and sorrow has come. We rejoice in the com- pletion of our school days and in the good fellowship that has prevailed through- out our two years of associations. As we depart from P. S. N. S. our sorrows will come as we bid farewell to one another, for we know full well that we may never meet again. But let us resolve to keep in mind the happy days of the class of 1918. In expression of our loyalty toward the school, the classes of 1918 and 1919 have combined in presenting to their Alma Mater the sun dial which now stands on the campus. The combination of the two classes in making this gift shows the splendid spirit of cooperation which has existed during our year of association. In parting let us be imbued with the conception of the usefulness of our gift and even as that records the march of time, so let our future actions be the sun dial of our lives, and let us so live that every moment it records will have been utilized to the utmost and leave us with a consciousness of work well done. Katherine Robb. Pane nineteen Class Poem—1918 The links that are forged in Friendship ' s chain Are strongest when they ' re forged in youth, Their lasting power will stand life ' s strain, Because they ' re formed from love and truth. Life ' s happiest hours are soonest past, Time in its restless flight moves on. The only thing in life that lasts Is memory of the joy that ' s gone. With joyous pace our clays move on. The weeks and months glide into years, Each hour a joy, each day a song With no regrets, no sighs, nor tears. But when commencement time draws near, A sense of fear weighs on each heart, Our eyes are dimmed with unshed tear, We dread the hour when we must part. It comes; our Normal days are done. We meet it with both joy and sorrow, Glad of the parchment we have won, Sad, for our parting comes tomorrow. The pain and sorrow of the hour Must find relief in forceful measure To know that time and place lack power To rob the store of memory ' s treasure. In years to come when we arc sad, Sitting and thinking all alone, Just take these records of the heart To play on Memory ' s (iraphophone. K. Clair McCann, ' 18. Page twenty Frank FRANCES L.

Page forty Cbtti) CoKep JWargtiertte Ularp pan CtaS of 1918 0uv Classmates Oration Social Education In a democratic age, remarkable for its civilization, and sympathy, it is quite necessary for the schools of our country to train the child to subordinate him- self to the standards of the age and to accept the views of the advanced civilization which must progress to even greater heights of perfection. The basis of advance is the continuity of instruction, as each new generation is simply a continuation of the ones preceding, so we cannot by purely external methods and on short notice, introduce a new social order. For this reason we cannot hope to inculcate in the intellect and mind of a child a totally different idea of life. A low social standing is a natural outcome of uncontrolled animal nature, a lack of tradition and of associating with people of low standards. If one has no standards set by his associates or inherited from his ancestors, he must set them himself. He must choose his associates with a thought of their possible influence on his life and character. And above all, he must learn the secret of self-control. It is our duty as teachers to train the rising generation to the frame- work of the higher life of today. It is with a great deal of thought that one should approach the pupils on their relation to society. The child ' s mind should be brought into harmony with the social mind in many ways. Throughout his entire training, whether in language, beliefs, knowledge, habits, virtues, standards, conscience, aims or ideals, this thought should be predominantly brought into notice ; the individual is but one member of society, and his life is subject to what is beneficial or injurious to society. Chil- dren must be taught to respect public opinion, for in that way they become more careful of their actions and words; they must be brought to act in conventional ways, conform to set standards of conduct, hold a respect for power and knowl- edge, and possess a deep love for kin and country. They must be taught to accept traditional beliefs, not only of religion but also of the policy of government. In our country much freedom of thought is permitted, perhaps, one might say too much freedom is given. We should instil into our pupils ' minds the fact that though there may be in a community a great diversity in occupation and wealth and even in opinion on small matters, it is characterized by likemindedness in important matters, beliefs, conduct, and ideals. Although in our country we do not have one church, at the base of them all is one belief. We would condemn one who offers a human being as a sacrifice to appease the wrath of some stone god. In other countries even more than in this free land of ours, is this spirit Page forty-two of likemindedness prevalent. Not only is this so in religion but in all other mat- ters of moment does a community or country agree within itself. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Perhaps our first step in doing this duty, which is in a way a precious in- heritance, is to awaken in our pupils a strong desire for objects of real wo rth, and notable importance in life. For the reason that people will always possess a tendency to sink to their surroundings, we should strive to make these surround- ings those of the greatest possible value. Teach the child this as a motto My neighbors will do their duty and it is worth my while to do mine. This will bring into his character the desire to be a true citizen and the thought of the pos- sibilities for a responsible position of leadership will be very likely to throw a strong influence over his life. Erudition is not education. In the schoolroom the boys learn punctuality, the value of obedience, regularity, and industry as well as pure book knowledge. In the same way the child who is taught a craft only may become a member of a class but he will not be a true citizen, because industrial education will supplement but will not supplant general education. There is but one future open to a child trained for one craft and that is the one of the day laborer or wage earner. Informational and industrial training are both very valuable elements in education, but they do not constitute all education. Social education begins at home, it is extended at school and is added to by each successive year. Sound bodies and minds are the most potent factors upon which to base our important work and then the next important item is to awaken youth to a world view, which, when obtained, will enable him to form opinions, obtain motives and shape his life policies. Too many of us are prone to accept our- selves as nearly perfect as one could well be. The American never thinks that the laborers of England and France are perhaps as intelligent as our common mechanic or wage earner. Germany ' s present position is due in a great measure to the fact that for many years she has believed that no other country can even compare with her in excellence of workmanship, military achievement, and men of learning. Each individual is the expression of the group life, but in the concrete. However, because no two persons have the same total environment, no two in- dividuals are alike. Only normal people are self-controlled and because of this the abnormal are not as easy to work with for they are controlled by force alone. The child should be taught the value of thought before action so that he may escape forming just a part of the mob mind. He should choose in a very de- liberate manner his models of thought, action and sentiment. This can be done by the use of critical intelligence in a very free manner. Children learn to a broader extent than we have any idea of from repetition and from the influence of the older members of the family. On this account we Page forty-three should popularize innocent and elevating pleasure. Children as a natural thing, take account of the exceptional happening or instance instead of those things which happen every day. It is very possible that a boy or girl will get erroneous ideas from thoughtless remarks made at home by his parents. Ruskin says that education is causing people to like what they ought to like. Society has such a great influence that it can make any thing seem right and we should strive to choose to do only those things which can be accepted by society without any danger to any one individual. The idea that self should come first in everything is one that must be elimi- nated from the mind of the child, if he is to become a good citizen. One should not be blinded by personal interests; for success is measured in terms of the happiness given others and not in terms of the amount of money acquired for personal use. The habitual relations of one member of society to another and the persistent forms of co-operative activity, taken collectively are called social organization, which is an expression of some mode of likemindedness in the popu- lation. Pupils should be familiar with the principal forms of social organization; with the thoughts, sympathies, purposes and virtues that make society a possi- bility, and with the benefits that society confers ; with the conduct that worthy membership of society requires. Although ignorance of the law excuses no one, it is the first duty of every citizen to know his obligations, for not every criminal is a court criminal. Char- acter is not the attribute of man; it is man himself. Man ' s everyday life does not necessarily exclude civic duty. It has been well said that making a success of business is a mark of good citizenship. The aim of social efficiency is to supply what nature lacks ; but to prepare the young pupil for a definite future calling is a mistake because it is not to be ex- pected in this world of change that present conditions and institutions are final. Another reason for this being a big error in the training of a child is that it would create social strata. When a child reaches the grammar school, however, he should begin his vocational training. To awaken in the pupil a great variety of lofty interests is one of our aims as teachers. We can accomplish this through participation, giving him the posi- tion of actor instead of that of onlooker. We can discover the things which will be interesting and which will engage activity. Work which requires observation, the obtaining of information and the use of the constructive imagination will im- prove social conditions to the greatest possible degree. The most important and perhaps at this time the most talked of quality to be instilled into the younger generation is thorough Americanization. Every child should have a clear and complete knowledge of what it is to be a true American. Page forty-four He should possess for this wonderful country that deep love and reverence which has been so often lacking in the past. A true love for the flag and affection for all of his fellow-countrymen are qualities which may easily be impressed on the child of school age and which will make him an upright, faithful and true citizen. So in all the work we do with our pupils, in training them in scholarship, in vocational callings, in their duties to their fellow-men and to themselves, let this be our underlying and controlling thought ; America, first, last and always.

Page forty-six Charge to the Juniors As I sat here this afternoon looking into the eager faces of you Juniors, my thoughts carried me back to a scene of nine months ago, when you entered this venerable institution. On that day the Faculty and the Class of 1918 had re- assembled for another year of sweet peace and study, when suddenly there was hurled into our midst a band of people, who had been robbed of all their initiative, animation and vitality ; stripped of all originality and ingenuity, and left half dead to start on their long, hard journey through the Normal School. Completely astonished by such an unheralded arrival, we knew not what to make of this dormant mass of humanity. But as we stood wondering what it was and from whence it came, we discovered that the orphan had been labeled; and its name was the Class of 1919, which we soon nicknamed Juniors. The Commercial teachers, seeing the deplorable state you were in, tried to improve your wretched condition by means of hard work. But all attempts proving hopeless failures, they shook their heads and passed by on the other side. Next the General teachers took up the task of penetrating through the ivory fortifications which guarded your living selves. They set out to accomplish their end by scolding but, after repeated attacks, discovered that they could not make even a dent in this thick armor, to say nothing of making a full formed impression. So they too passed by on the other side. Sad indeed was thy fate, oh Juniors, had not we, the Class of 1918. been will- ing to play the part of the good Samaritan and give you our surest guidance and most watchful care. Our greatest and most difficult task was to inject into your systems a little pep which would make you conscious of the simple, every day affairs of Normal life. The first attempt to lift you out of the depths was made through our in- dividual influences. We tried to teach you by the development method of letting you show us by your action that you knew what your duty was as a Junior in the Pittsburgh State Normal School. But even as one cannot get blood out of a stone, so we could not get any action from you Juniors. There was only one alternative. We must act for you. So accordingly we had a business meeting to decide upon some definite course that would spur you on to action. We hated to do your work for you but there was no other way in which we could organize your forces, so we looked to your numbers for a Page forty-seven person of executive ability to become your leader. We found that person in the form of Miss Ida Mac MacDowell and chose her for your class president, with three other members to assist her. Busy as we were with the absorbing studies of our Senior year, we had taken time to perform one of your necessary duties. You accepted our aid — or at least we believe you accepted it for we never heard anything to the contrary — and you never even extended to us one word of grati- tude. Do you not think it seems rather strange? Juniors, you have no idea how we despaired of your condition. The flutter- ing of your hearts was so faint that we were afraid they would soon stop fluttering altogether, so we decided to give you a strong stimulant. This took the form of our Senior yells, which brought the Faculty to the scene with unconcealed looks of admiration ; and the very walls of this building answered back with resounding applause. But still you Juniors slumbered on. I wonder if you heard it. Poor things! It is bad enough to be lifeless without losing your sense of hearing also. The most natural step for us to take next was one which would appeal to your sight. But. alas, only too soon we learned that you were hopelessly color blind. For surely the most indistinct vision could plainly distinguish the magnificient array of the red, white and blue among the Seniors. Tradition tells us that you did blink a little under their dazzling light, but we have no proof of any such tale, for you remained in a passive state for quite a period afterward. One day, however, as we were industriously pursuing our daily tasks, we heard a strange noise coming from the vicinity of the study hall. We hastened to find the cause of such weak ejaculations. How our hearts beat high with joy when wc discovered that you had found a copy of one of our old songs and were trying to sing it as best you could. We were so delighted at this, the first sign of life you had evinced since you entered the Normal School, that we rushed in and with our usual spirit of enthusiasm helped to produce such a volume that the old building itself fairly shook with the spirit of the song. From that time on Juniors, we feel that you have improved ; very slowly it is true; but we have tried to take courage in our belief that all good things come slowly. And we are still looking forward for the day when you will regain your normal state of being. Do not get the mistaken idea that we are ashamed of you. We feel that we have accomplished great work in reviving you and therefore we are proud of you. With such an excellent start, you are sure to make good progress, and we regret that we cannot remain to reap the fruits of our labor. But as the time has come when we must take upon ourselves greater responsibilities, we must go, leaving this to the tender mercy of our Faculty. Laura Ellenwood, ' 18. Page forty-eight Junior Class Song To the Tune of Love ' s Old Sweet Song.

Page fifty-one I Junior Class Officers Frederick Martin President Ethel Derway Vice-President Alma Gray Secretary Mildred Gordan Treasurer Page fifty-two Reply to Seniors To the Seniors of the Flattsburgh State Normal School: Be it known to you present ! That we, the Junior Class of the State Normal School, do denounce and accuse the Seniors of being undignified and triple-faced, showing one face to the faculty, a second to the juniors, and a third to the State. They are meek and inoffensive when in the presence of their instructors, hut speak of them familiarly behind their backs as Benny, Tommy, Toddy, etc. To the Juniors they are very patronizing and snobbish. Far be it from us to accuse anyone unjustly but by all the gods and half-gods, deliver us from all pupil teachers, wise in their own estimation, but otherwise in ours. The third face which they show to the State will be very noticeable after it has given them their diplomas, and has found them incapable of teaching success- fully. But, Seniors, fortunately we have seen your triple disguise. We understand your wiles and traps to ensnare the unwary. Then, giddy Seniors, lovers of pleasure more than of study, do we here advise you while there is yet time not to continue going through life with only one aim in view, namely, that of deceit in gaining your own ends. Go no further lest the folly be manifest to all in the way. Do not continue this broad and treacherous path, but change and take the straight and narrow one which leads to the pinnacle of success. We do not say you have no good intentions but you know the road across the River Styx is said to have been paved with good intentions. In order to make yourselves worthy of the sheepskin which you will receive, I ask you in behalf of all to change your course. Put your good intentions into practice and pave your road to a more desirable end. Seniors, pardon me for the expression ; but you are no good. We are con- vinced of that when we look back over your Senior year. Your good character- istics arc as scattered as the gray hairs in a young man ' s head. Your undignified manners can be seen almost anywhere you are. We hope at least you won ' t for- get yourselves today. Can you remember how childish you acted when we wore our colors? Fighty-one Seniors trying to force us to give up our colors. When you couldn ' t force them from us you sneaked around in the desks to find our song. Still feeling defeated, you made a grand rush as we came out of shorthand. There, in the struggle, ink was spilled and one of those womanly Seniors, as they profess themselves to be, ran to tell Mr. Shallies. Page fifty-three Seniors are brave. One of them dethroned Apollo, then they had to rely upon our financial help to pay for it. Your weakness to teach is very plain. Why, what do you think of a pupil teacher who goes among the Juniors and begs them not to ask questions? If you, Seniors, only knew what success means, you would never give a Regents ' paper in bookkeeping and tell the class to do it in the rest of the period — five minutes. You would not have to stammer while trying to explain a Profit and Loss Statement if you were prepared to teach as your instructors assume you are. I have seen Honorable Seniors with highly developed brains ask Juniors to help them prepare answers for Regents ' papers which they had to teach that day. They are experienced so they say but in school they act like little whining children. Their experience the night or day before was too much and they came to school limping because of a weak ankle or with a finger wrapped up so that they would not have to go to the board. Every single day there is something missing, but it varies with the student from lack of proper rest to an insufficient amount of gray matter. The State would rejoice in two or three years from today, if you Seniors only realized your weaknesses and consented to stay under the instruction of the faculty until they saw fit to let you out. We have our fears as to when that would be. Nothing like that can happen. The State at large will have to suffer. Nevertheless, Seniors, we are not going to send you out without at least the hope that you will wake up soon. We do wish you much success. When you are stuck as you often have been during the past year and can ' t see any Juniors around maybe you will realize the folly of your Senior year in the Pittsburgh State Normal School. Again will I in behalf of the Junior Class bid you farewell, hoping that the world will not suffer a great burden by your presence in it, until the Class of ' 19 can rescue the unfortunate students who have been forced under your instruction just because you have won a diploma. Frederick Martin. Page fifty-four 1919 In Spite of it All Were Happy Mr. Shallies with his outlines, Dr. Henshaw with his jokes, Mr. Sinclair always talking Kills all joy for lots of folks. Miss O ' Brien in Reading Methods, Miss O ' Brien down in Gym, Miss O ' Brien on the rostrum, Makes one wish she ' d got a him. Mr. Hudson with his fossils, Mr. Thompson with his puns, Dr. Kitchell teaching logic Are enough to scare the Huns. Miss Anne Carroll with her pulp maps, And Miss Steele with every fad, And Miss Garrity a-singing Are enough to drive folks mad. Some folks say that little Ingalls Takes from life a lot of joy, But you bet she ' ll have to go some If she beats that Miss Malloy. All these Kill Joys are at Normal Where poor innocents must dwell If there ever was a worse place I ' m sure it must be (I can ' t imagine it.) Page fifty-six Ivy Oration It is with hearts mingled with honor and regret that we gather here to per- form the last ceremony which we as undergraduates shall ever perform. To us has been given the keeping of a thousand memories, a thousand little pictures of Normal School days — and now what could be a more fitting picture, than the planting of this ivy ; what could be more indicative of our lofty am- bitions, our high ideals? By encouragement, hope and true friendship we have completed our courses of two short years ; and as we fling wide the portals of our Alma Mater let us with the greatest confidence in her teachings, with deepest gratitude in our hearts for her instructors, and with fond regard for our classmates, go forth into this world of opportunity with firm decision and high idealism. Now, as we participate in this last official rite, let us hope that the spirit of our class dwell always with us as individuals and within the walls of our Alma Mater as an incentive to exalted standards and adjustment to a world of innumer- able influences. May this ivy symbolize the hopes and aims of the class of 1918, may it take firm root and climb to its greatest height, may it glory in its luxuriant foliage and its message of hope and cheer. Frances Elizahetii Finn. Page fifty-seven Senior Class Song (Tune of The Long, Long Trail ) Work and lessons now are over, Study time is done. Now the time has come for parting A new life has begun. Broad the future is, — and waiting We ' ll cross its threshold o ' er Working faithfully and bravely, As we have in days of yore. Chorus To the class of 1918 And to our Red. White and Blue- Will our thought and hearts turn backward Mem ' ries kind and true To be always strong and worthy In duty ' s call — wherever to. And our highest aims be realized In all things we may do. Friendships formed at P. S. N. S. Always will stay true Fun and frolic in our mem ' ries Keep its brightest hue Tho ' we may be scattered widely Far from friends so dear — Still our hearts are bound together Thru each coming year. Chorus To the class of 1918 And to our Red, White and Blue Will our thoughts and hearts turn backward Mem ' ries kind and true To be always strong and worthy In duty ' s call — wherever to, And our highest aims lie realized In all things we may do. Ruth E. Buck, ' 18. Pope fifty-eight The Normal Club Normal Club! Normal Club, humph I A society with a name and that is all But if you were a real live member you would take another view. Since you were not on our membership list you couldn ' t go to our meetings, our picnics, our suppers, our dances, our candy-pulls and many other social activities that we have enjoyed. However, we haven ' t been mere social butterflies. We have done consid- erable Red Cross Work. We have made and donated a large number of comfort kits for Our Boys, Over There who are so bravely fighting and dying for this grand country of ours. We have had snipping parties and knitting parties and we can only say that we have done our best in the best way we knew how to do it. Our club was organized last September, when school opened. We have about sixty girls on our roll-call and we are only sorry that we do not have more. We are one of the largest clubs in the local branch of the Women ' s National Board of War Work, known in Plattsburgh as the Young Women ' s League. We have a fine large club house at 20 Broad Street. It is in this house that we have our good times. There is a large fireplace there, a victrola, two pianos, a fine dance floor, big easy chairs, and last of all a gas range in the kitchen that we can use any time wc desire. You may be sure that we make use of everyone of these. Our dues are only one dollar per year, payable quarterly, so everyone has more than ample return for her money, in the good times that she may have in ibis club. We have business meetings twice a month and at present our officers are, President, Miss Martha Donehue ; Vice-President, Miss Ruth Gloor; Secre- tary, Miss Florence Karlen and Treasurer, Miss Helen Donnelly. We try to have a supper once a month which we serve for ten or fifteen cents apiece and from the large numbers that always attended these we are sure they were very much enjoyed. Our club has striven for high ideals and its chief aim is to bring the girls together in a bond of friendship, human sympathy and patriotism for our country. We are sorry to leave the club and we shall always remember the good times we have had while a member there, and so with the best of wishes for its future success we shall close with the words of our song, which we hope will go ringing through the ages: Would you find a friendly hand? Would you join a happy band? Be a Normalite and stand for right. We are jolly, we are jolly Though we wander far away The memories of our old club days Page fifty-nine Will grow brighter day by day. Clionian History Should auld acquaintance be forgot As on our way we go ? Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days in dear Clio? Days in dear Clio ! Fainter and fainter grows that sweet strain as time floats by us. But Girls ! We can never forget those days ! As I sit here thinking of our past two years together, the memory of a thou- sand good times comes thronging about me. I can see those first few days of life at the Normal, with a crowd of jolly seniors, who, it was whispered about, were Clionians. We poor little Juniors felt terribly guilty in neglecting our lessons to go to the movies or to an exciting rush party. But how differently we feel now? After the mysteries of those rush parties, came more mysteries, pledge day and those dainty bows of gold and white. Didn ' t we feel proud to be wearing those bits of ribbon. Then followed initiation. After that was over we felt we were really, truly Clionians. I can still feel those worms and crawly things, can ' t you? All through the year followed many interesting literary meetings and enter- tainments. It was great fun to be on the refreshment committee and show our own skill at cooking those dainty refreshments. But all good times have to end for a time at least. Our last literary meeting was looming before us. We, Clionians. with our cousins, the Agonians, spent one long-to-be-remembered evening together in a farewell party for our beloved big sisters. Our Senior Clios were very dear to our hearts, and we wished very hard for their success in life as we parted from them. September came again and now we were the awe-inspiring Seniors. What fun it was to rush the little Juniors, bestowing kindness upon them and trying to make them feel at home that they might forget the many miles that separated them from Mother. Again came pledge day, and again we were proud to see how happy our bits of gold and white made our new sisters, whom we so gladly welcomed into our fraternity. Two spots that are perhaps more vivid than the rest are the Junior Party and the Faculty Meeting. The club rooms of the Young Women ' s League were crowded with Mary Pickfords, Theda Baras, and Charlie Chaplins. all Page sixty-one assembled to amuse us at a movie party. The afternoon of the Faculty Meeting we nearly went into spasms. Who would believe to look at some of our jolly sisters that they could be such perfect pictures of our stern faculty? And yet our two years have not been entirely given over to pleasure. Dur- ing these critical war times, we, too, have done our bit. Each week we have given our Thursday evenings to help our worthy Red Cross. Even the pro- ceeds of our play, The Bewildering Miss Felicia were given to the Red Cross. We are very proud to say that we were able to aid Uncle Sam with our Liberty Bond too. On and on have sped the two years, much too swiftly, until now we think of the end. Through these happy days prevailed unceasingly our watchwords, C for cheerfulness, L for love, I for idealism and O for obedience and oneness. Sooner or later we part but, Girls, ever remember what they mean to us, days in dear Clio ! G. G. Weeks. Page sixty-two Alpha Kappa Phi Another year has taken flight on the wings of time and as we think of our school clays here in dear P. S. N. S. what sweeter thoughts come to our minds than the memories of the happy days spent in dear Alpha Kappa Phi. We have enjoyed her recreations and entertainment and thoughts of her will ever be cherished by all faithful Agonians. The very first day of school in September, 1917, we invited the shy little Juniors into our room for an informal dance and get acquainted hour. We did our best to make them feel at home and get over their homesickness. One afternoon a few days later we gave a large informal party in the gym to the whole school. Dancing was the main feature and all those who attended it still think of the good time they had as our guests. Then came the busy rush season. We were indeed rushing the new girls some both inside of school and out. Many were the trips to the movies and soda fountains. Soon came the time for our annual corn-roast up the river, and who is there who does not recall the splendid time we had on this day not for- getting the wonderful eats. Then one evening came our Agonian reception held in the gym. Indeed this was a memorable occasion. The gym looked her best all dressed up by capable hands in colors of gold and blue and white. Many were the sighs of the Juniors as they shyly went through the receiving line of dignified Senior Agonians and members of the faculty. Finally pledge day came around and proud were the many girls who on this morning were pledged to Alpha Kappa Phi and wore the little bows of gold and blue and white betokening their pledge. With pledge day. ended our rush season and for a time outside of regular and joint literary meetings we quietly worked together in the interest of our AK . As the great world war has had its effects on all activities so has it affected us for on any Thursday evening you can see Agonian girls and Clionian girls working industriously on bandages and other equally useful work at the Red Cross rooms doing our bit for our country. With the opening of the new term rush activities were again commenced as in the fall term but not quite so strenuously. And again on pledge day many girls proudly wore our colors signifying their pledge to AK I . Among the many interesting literary meetings which we held, one was of special interest as it was so characteristic of the present day thought. About half the girls came dressed as Red Cross nurses and the rest came dressed as Page sixty-five soldiers. During a patriotic program a playlet entitled A Pittsburgh Girl in the Fall of 1918. The playlet was of great interest to all as it was so typical of what has occurred and what will occur in Plattsburgh this coming fall. Perhaps one of the most dreaded events in the life of any sorority girl is initiation. One morning mysterious looking letters were found on the desks of the Junior Agonians summoning them to appear before their Senior sisters for initiation. Many were the fears that possessed these victims until that awful event was past. However, as our worst troubles are those which never come ' these girls found that initiation wasn ' t so bad after all. And now our year draws to its close and we hope for dear Alpha Kappa Phi a future even more bright and prosperous than her past. May her followers wherever they may go always cherish her memory and strive ever to attain those ideals for which she stands, and may they ever say : Altho there are other Normals And other clubs ' tis true That as every frat is loyal To its own peculiar hue ; So we claim for our proud colors To float high and true and brigbl. And to wave above as ever. The famed Gold and Blue and White. Martha E. Donehue. Page sixty-six Salutatory Teachers, Fellow Students, Friends: This day is for us, another milestone on the highway of life and by your presence here you manifest your interest in our progress. The past two years we have spent in an earnest endeavor to fit ourselves for the work we have chosen. It has not been all play but, as we glance backward, memory overlooks the clouds and sees only the pleasanter aspects of our life here. From our Normal life we step forth into an age of opportunity more wonder- ful than has ever been known before in the history of the world. On every hand is a chance for service. True, we cannot all go to France and serve on the actual battlefield but there are a thousand and one place ' s at home where we are wanted and where our Country needs men and women who will work untiringly and un- selfishly. Upon us, as teachers, devolves the responsibility of moulding the char- acters of future America. What type of character will we make it? As we go confidently out and each takes his place in the great scheme of life may we put into practice the best principles we have here learned and with a firm purpose strive to make our lives count for the best, expressing ever the highest ideals which are essentially American ideals. In behalf of the Class of 1918, let me extend to you a hearty welcome. Beatrice M. Scriver.

According to custom, it is at the behest of my noble client, nineteen eighteen, that you are called up to hear her will and receive her gifts. A consultation of doctors was called together and they have decreed that on Friday, June 21st, she, the class of nineteen eighteen, must die. My client wishes me to state that, owing to a lightness in the head, caused by its gradual swelling during the last two years, and a heaviness in the heart, caused by thoughts of parting and over- feasting, respectively, she may have been mis- taken in her inventory, but such as she thinks she has she gives to you, praying that you may not believe that it is only because she cannot keep her goods that she is generous. We, the Class of 1918, of the State Normal School, City of Pittsburgh.

Hawkins, Principal of the Plattsburg h State Normal School, executor of this our last Will and Testament hereby revoking all former wills by us made. In witness whereof, wc, the undersigned have hereunto subscribed our names this twentieth day of June in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred Eighteen. CLASS OF NINETEEN EIGHTEEN, Testator. Norm Al. Clock, Per Eleanor S. Johnson. Page scventy-]our ((With an apology to The Old Oaken Bucket ). How dear to our hearts are the scenes in the classrooms, Where teachers tried bravely to make us give ear, The desks and the benches, the blackboards around them. The rapt inattention we gave there, I fear, The water pipes and the cold that ever came from them. The. desks where professors expounded th rule, The clock which we looked at with eyes full of longing, And e ' en the dear bell that released us from school. How sad were our hearts when Psychology we finished, How great was our joy when History of Ed came in line, And Algebra also, I ' m sure it did phase us, While Logic and Economy we sure thought were fine. Dear me how the periods lengthened each moment. When we wished to go to the movies that day, But now we are Seniors, we won ' t make a comment, Except that we ' re sorry to go on our way. I Chorus There ' s Florence and Margaret, And Helen and Esther, Both Gertrude and Marion, Madeline and Anne. II Chorus There ' s Dorothy and Frances, Both Marie and Martha, There ' s Katherine and Beatrice And Eleanor and Ruth. Page srvrnly-flvn Ill Come comrades and join us and sing a farewell song, To dear P. S. N. S. we all love so well, We hope that we ' ll see you some time in the future, And run up those stairs at the sound of the bell. Both teachers and pupils we hope you will miss us Although we feel sure that our place will be filled, By incoming Juniors and freshly made Seniors, Who were very much by our dignity thrilled. Chorus There ' s Betty and Mila, Victoria and Christine And all of the others Of the class June ' 18. Cl MIiEKLAND HliAD Page seventy-six A True Story Once upon a time in the little town of Ellenwood there lived a beautiful maiden named Tracy. One day she thought she would take a walk up the Hill. The grass was Dewey and the Brook (s) was running merrily. She stopped from time to time to moisten her Palm(er) which was covered with Byrnes. At the side of the road was a cemetery in which many Graves were to be seen. As she went on she met many tame animals such as Lyons, a IVolf(e), a Buck, and several Kats, but she was not afraid of them. Up in the Hawthorne tree she heard a Martin singing, and finally toward the top of the Hill she met her lover Gregory. He was a Goodman and Gavin to all her wishes. When he met her he Pettet her and she said : Where are you going with that whedB arrow (s) ? I was all out of flour and I thought I ' d go up to the Millers and Robb him so my Baker can Bcckzvith it he said, Store bread makes Messik. Gloor(y) she said, but this is a Ca(r)mody. Then looking down on the road he saw that she was stuck in the Meyer (s) so he put her in his wheelBarrow(s) and Tucker home. The Butler who opened the door H alter {ed) : But they went into the house and drew the Curtin, and seated on the lounge he said : Galley this is Fiun(c) after selling Liberty Bonds for Weeks.

Page seventy-nine A General View of Normal When we entered Plattsburgh Normal, We were stiff and rather formal, While our brains one could not find. But we ' ve studied and we ' ve worked, Almost never bluffed or shirked, Until now each has a mind — Upstairs in the lecture room, There we studied sun and moon, Learned about the bugs and flies ; How the stars that seem to fall Really are not stars at all, Shooting through our skies — Then again we climbed those stairs To Geography, in pairs, With each quivering hair on end. When to answer ' twas one ' s turn, Something she had failed to learn Up one ' s back did shivers send — In Psychology and Ed., Study nearly killed us, dead And those ancient men. How we loved the merry jests ! But those awful daily tests, — Marked from zero up to ten I More or less. More or less. More or less. More or less. Miss O ' Brien down in gym, Gave us stunts that made us slim. Hurry girls, you ' re late! We to cooking and to sewing Always went with faces glowing. Made one apron and a cake — More or less. In Music we were rilled with dread. Those syllables would leave one ' s head On notice more than brief. However in the second year, Miss Garrity inspired less fear, And music class brought sweet relief — More or less. In Drawing class, with fairy tread Miss Andrews, thinking, cocked her head And sought to find the proper tho ' t. But Dr. Kitchell ' s classes all Displayed our bent to work or bawl And logical the tho ' t we sought — More or less. In History, while the big words poured, We in the rear seats sat and snored, Enjoying peaceful, happy rest. We needed these refreshing naps To give us strength for endless maps. Read forty pages for that test, — More or less. With Mr. Shallies sundry topics we discussed, Reciting poems grew quite fussed, Sometimes forgot a line or so. When there was nothing else to do We listened to a book review, To teach us things one ought to know — More or less. rage eiyhty-onc Heads up ! Feet on the floor ! One, two — one two, three, four ! Push, pull ! That ' s Penmanship. In Manual Training we did our parts. Oh, how we loved the pasty arts ! Our clothes were soiled — Don ' t let that slip — More or less. Downstairs in the Grades we shook, Gave each text a lingering look, Ere the fated call. If the pupils asked us questions; Heeded not our crude suggestions, Flew our tho ' t ' s beyond recall — More or less. Well, our Normal life is over! Tho ' not spent on beds of clover. We cannot complain. Teachers sympathetic, kind, Made our clouds seem silver lined, Tempering with joy our pain — More or less. B. M. S. Page eighty-two Class Prophecy I ' lattsburgh ! Plattsburgh ! All off for Pittsburgh ! Well, here I am at Plattsburgh again ! It ' s the same old place. There ' s Mr. Finnegan still in the ticket office. My ! I ' m dusty ! 1 must get my shoes shined. But where ' ll I go? It ' s twenty years since I ' ve been here. I used to get my shoes shined at Eli ' s then. I wonder if he ' s still in the business. I ' ll walk around and see. My ! How familiar everything is ! Here ' s Cady ' s corner, and Jacques not the least bit changed, and across the street is Hitchcock ' s. I guess I ' ll walk up Clinton Street. Byrnes ' Shoe Store is still in the same place. Why ! There ' s Irene. I must see her. But I guess I ' ll wait until I get my shoes shined. 1 wouldn ' t dare go in there with dusty shoes. Oh ! I see Mr. Atwood is still running the Clinton. I wonder what the feature is. Well— of all things ; Madge Butler and Charlemagne Lyons starring in a million dollar production, The Dar- ing Race of Death. So they ' ve entered the movie game. I always knew Made- line Butler was built for speed and daring things, but Charlie Lyons ! Gracious ! I should think he would have selected teaching in a Girls ' Seminary. But in the words of the poet, You never can tell. Why I can see Eli ' s from here. It ' s quite a big place. He must be in business with someone else. Sure enough. There are two names on the window. Let me see what they are. Eli Sweenor and El(i) Johnson! Well, I declare! It ' s a good thing El Johnson did go into business with him because the Eli Johnson place up at Poland ' s boarding house always spoiled Eli Sweenor ' s trade. Mornin ' , Miss. Step right to the rear. Be right with ye in a minute, Miss. Kind of warm, today, Miss. I ' aue eiyhty-three Same Eli. Same talk. Where ' s your partner, Eli Johns on? Right there, Miss; shining that young woman ' s shoes. Miss. F.l — Why 1 wouldn ' t know you. Those aren ' t the same white hands you had years ago. Why Anne Miller, what are you doing here? It ' s twenty years since I ' ve seen you. Wait, I can ' t shake hands with you ' till I wash up a bit. Want your shoes shined? Yes, that ' s what 1 came in here for. Mu! I ' m glad I found you. Do you ever come across any of the girls? I ' m so glad to see you. El, and you seem perfectly happy in this shoe-shining business. I like it pretty well. Yes, Miss, I ' m glad to have Miss Johnson. She certainly brings the trade she once took away. Well, Anne, step up here if you want your shoes shined. What are you doing now, anyway? I ' m traveling. Representing the G. G. G. What ' s the G. G. G? Why don ' t you know? I thought everybody knew the Grim Gregg Grinds. It ' s quite a famous institution now, a national affair you know, and Elizabeth Malatsky, you remember her, don ' t you? Well, she ' s Grand President, and she sits in state in a grand big office in Washington. Just think, El, this institution is a result of the G. G. G. club that was started in our Senior year at Normal. But tell me, do you ever see any of the girls? Yes, everybody who visits here always stops in, and the people who are working here come in often. You know the cry used to be ' Go to Eli ' s ' — now it is, ' Go to Elis ' . ' Why Marion Golley comes in nearly every day after work. Marion Golley — working here? Well, I should say so. She got so familiar with the authorities during initiation week, when she had to collect the mail for the Senior girls, that they offered her a position as postmistress. She gave my name as reference, and I vouched for her, because she was always regular in collecting my letters. And you know, Esther couldn ' t leave her. So Marion got Esther Cagwin a position as mail carrier along this route. She ' s really taken to dressmaking ; but Marion insisted that she work with her among the postal authorities. Have you been up to the Normal, yet? No. This is my first stop. Any changes? Changes! — Well not so much on the outside, only the campus does look lots better since the sun dial was set up. But there are quite a number of changes Page eighty-lour on the inside. Dot Lyons has charge of the Music Department, and Miss D ' Arcy is, generally speaking, teaching Economics with reasonahly certain success. The Commercial Department is in the hands of Miss Dot Hawthorne, and I have heard it said that Mr. Correll finds her an excellent head to work under. And Bee Scriver is janitress, and do you know, Anne, usually half the session is over he fore she gets around to heating up the building. You don ' t mean it. Well. I must say, they were wisely selected. But your roommate, El, do you ever hear from Vic? (Dougan). I surely do. Every day, and a special on Sunday. She ' s quite famous now— a wonderful sculptress. She makes non-breakable statues. She doesn ' t want another castastrophe as there was in 1918, so she decided to dedicate her life to making unbreakable statues. ■ ' That ' s a noble work. I see Irene is working with her father. Working with her father— nothing I She tried it; but she spoiled his trade. You know she ' s too snappy for the shoe business. She had to do some- thing so she ' s taking in washings. Now she snaps the suds. Quite a come down for our friend Irene. Do you ever hear from Agnes Eoley? She doesn ' t do anything regularly; but on and off during our heavier busi- ness seasons, we have her drop in to help out. You know with this camp here, we are pretty busy, especially over week-ends. Colonel Abrahamson has her shoes shitted regularly. Colonel Abrahamson? Yes, Frank. She runs the camp here. Major Peg Hogan is another of our regular patrons and who else do you suppose is up at this camp? Zelda Miller, Lucille Coniff, Ida Anshelevvitz, Margaret Kelly, have all received com- missions in the Quartermasters ' Corps, and that makes me think — Clara Barrows and Ruth Gloor are lieutenants in the Medical Corps, too. Gracious ! Since woman got the vote — look what ' s happened. I surely am glad to hear about our old classmates. Do you remember, El, how often Bondie used to come in here when we were at the Normal ? And Floss Karlen, too, she used to like to hear Eli say. ' Workin ' ye pretty hard up the Normal, Miss? ' Oh yes, Eli often asks about those girls. He seems never to have forgot- ten them. But I haven ' t heard of them lately. Well, I can tell you about them. Bondie ' s had quite a time of it. You know she went out to Southampton to teach. One day, the coral reef broke off from the rest of the island and off went Southampton, Bondie, and all. She was stranded — and she took to coral diving. One day, she fell into the periscope of a submarine, and whose submarine do you suppose it was? Captain Karlen ' s. Page eighty-live Well, Floss brought her back to civilization and the two of them are now running a jitney submarine between this coral reef and the rest of Long Island. I can imagine those two having quite a time of it. What are those Chimes, I£I? One, two, three, four. They are the chimes of the new city hall. Mildred Hill is official time- keeper, and she manages to get the clock to strike just about five minutes after the regular hour. You ought to go up to see the new city hall. You ' d find pompous Avis Messick sitting, staid, sedate, dignified, in the Judge ' s seat. I went up to listen to the famous trial you must have read about. Marion Fiske, the world ' s champion boxer, was being tried for knocking out little Mable Austin, the light- weight champion. It was quite a fight, and Miss Fiske ' s lawyer, Elizabeth Carmody, lost the case because she lost her temper. • ' Eleanor, have you ever read the ' Step Lively ' magazine? Here, look over this. You ' ll probably recognize our friend, Laura Ellenwood. She edits it, and this Red Cross Department here is under the personal supervision of Marion Parkhurst. You remember Marion, don ' t you? She has promoted the welfare of the Red Cross considerably, especially along financial lines. This is due largely to her great skill as a mathematician, and you can readily understand the reason for that. I mustn ' t forget to tell you this. Yesterday, while I was in Peru, I went to the big exposition they are having there. Frances Frazier has a very prominent booth there. She has taken to gardening, and she has attracted the public by her very exquisite (La) plants, which she has raised. There is also a very beautiful Japanese booth next to hers. Flo Purvis has that, and her speciality is Fayo Fans. Elizabeth Raker does all the china painting for her. Next to that is a booth over which hangs a sign — ' Male escorts for parties, dances, etc ' I expected to find Mila conducting that . Oh, no, Mila, if you came up Bridge and Clinton Streets, you couldn ' t have missed her. She ' s traffic cop, you know. Well, I never! I didn ' t recognize that gruff, ' Keep to the right! ' as Mila ' s once meek voice. Mila, traffic cop— well I can ' t get over it. It ' s just as sur- prising as it is to know that Frances Graves is Mayor of Peru. Peru certainly has grown, hasn ' t it? Martha Katz is the entire city council, and Christine Neuncr is one of the famous politicians of the place. Last night she held a crowd spell-bound on the corner of 6th Street, electioneering for Alice Palmer, who is running for Police Commissioner. So Fair Alice is running for police commissioner! She might better come up here and help Miss Gorman in her work as matron of the Old Men ' s Home. What are you going to do tonight ? I want you to have supper with me. and then we ' ll go around to see the Pittsburgh Hippodrome. You ' ll enjoy it, because Page eighty-six you ' ll see quite a few of our classmates. June Davis ' Minstrel Troupe has been the talk of the season, and you ' d die laughing to see Catherine McQuillan as the only original fat woman, dancing in the side show. Carl Myers, for an addi- tional admission price of ten cents, will entertain you with his original jokes. Do you know, Anne, those jokes haven ' t changed one bit since we left Normal. We ' ll also find Ruth Kenney, world ' s greatest diciplinarian, showing the public how to train children. Her Practice class is Stella Patnode, Marion Martin, Claire McCann, and Catherine Hogan. And there ' s another wonderful spectacle, a renowned ballet dancer, who is no other than our old friend, Helen Woodruff. Frances Finn is her town-crier, and great crowds are attracted daily to see her dance. This hippodrome is quite a place. It rivals the New York City Hippo- drome. Why, there ' s even Katherine Robb, taming lions. She has gotten them where they can do wonderfully intelligent tricks and she had made a fortune traveling with them. Along with these other things, it presents a series of tableaux, too. The Donehue twins are first, dressed in flowing white robes. They are symbolic of Peace. Ruth Slater represents a remarkable tableau, also. She is ' Smiles and Sunshine, ' and the last of this series is Catherine Gavin, de- picting, ' Jest and Jollity. ' But I know what ' ll interest you most of all — the fortune-teller ' s booth; for this great person, with capabilities to read palms and tea cups is Mademoiselle Madeleine DeLeu Pettet! What! Not Petsy! Last I heard from her, which was a couple of years ago, she was selling soap for the Beef, Bluey and Bubble Corporation. You know, she made Cobleskill what it is today, and after teaching there, she entered this great soap concern . What — no soap? — Well, Anne, be that as it may — today she ' s telling people ' s fortunes. But we had better go. It ' s six now. Good day, Miss. Come again, Miss. A. J. M. Page eighty-seven Celebrities of P. S. N. S., ' 18 The meeting will please come to order. This was emphasized by a rap on the table by the chairman of this gathering of notables. It was a great occasion ; for it was a meeting of the celebrities of the Class of 1918. The mist had risen from off this Isle of Ease, and disclosed an amphitheatre in which they were assembled, evidently for some important business ; but that couldn ' t be definitely ascertained ; for the chatter resembled the babbling of the tongues of a thousand monkeys. The meeting will please come to order. The towering form of the Class Dwarf, Eleanor Johnson, rose high above the assemblage. We are gathered here tonight to celebrate the reunion of the honorary members of the Class of 1918. The committee has arranged for a little entertainment, which I hope you will all enjoy . Entertainment ! W ho wants to be bothered with an old entertainment — interrupted Ruth Signor, elected by the Class of 1918. as the Class Crank. Now, we ' re just going to have an entertainment. I ' m running this thing and you might just as well decide to stay here and listen to it. This was almost shouted by Martha Katz, Class Boss. Come, now, you mustn ' t fight. It ' s naughty. Nice people never scrap, and you mustn ' t forget you did have a bringing up. The assemblage was rather startled at the sound of this sweet, well-modulated voice. Our class saint, Miss Pettet, arose and as she did. the giggle of Madeline Butler, 1918 Giggle, stopped quickly, and the buzz in the far corner also ceased. Catherine McQuillan, long- known Gossiper of P. S. N. S. 1918, held her audience, the Faculty ' s Pets, spellbound. She was relating a story of how the Class Tomboy, Avis Messick, tried flying an areoplane over the waters surrounding the Isle of Ease. The idea of her trying anything like that, spoke up Dot Hawthorne, Mr. Thompson ' s pet. Why. even Mr. T. couldn ' t do that, and I won ' t listen to any- one ' s trying to do things he can ' t do, because Well, I wouldn ' t worry about that, interrupted both Miss Dougan and Miss Fdlenwood together. You worried enough while you were in the Normal. spoke up Miss D ' Arcy, elected Shark of ' 18. Many a night you ' ve spent wondering how you ' d get through your work the next day. And if you ' d only have studied as I did, rejoined Miss Fiske, Class Grind, you ' d have saved yourself all those gray hairs. Page eighty-eight Study! What ' s the use of studying? Just look at me — didn ' t I bluff through beautifully? I never opened a book — and my name received honorable mention, too. It was Ruth Kenney, Class Bluffer, who disclosed this bit of in- formation. I don ' t think there ' s much use in studying, either. Happy-go-lucky Agnes Foley spoke up. If I don ' t get my work exactly right, I just go up after class and explain to the teachers — and I gel through on that. It ' s an ideal condition to be so care-free! Had I known, Miss Foley, that you were full of such tricks, I should have enlightened the Faculty, and suggested that your name be left off the Honor Roll, said Frank Abrahamson, very indignantly. She is Faculty Advisor, and conse- quently, her words would have had weight. That ' s all right, Frank ; but you know how you pulled the Valedictory. Natural brilliancy — perhaps — but mostly, drag. You can ' t get away with any- thing like that here. Miss Cagwin ' s usual sarcasm, seasoned this speech, and it seemed to be made more emphatic by a rap on the table by the Chairman. It is time to begin our entertainment. If you will all take seats and remain still long enough, I will have our Lady ' s Man, Mr. Lyons, summon the ent er- tainers. Please be quiet, and I hope you will be especially appreciative, as I have a little surprise for you all. We are going to have some unexpected guests among us — Whereupon, Ruth Buck, most conceited member of the Class of ' 18, started fussing with her hair and powdering her nose. I wonder if my usual popularity ' 11 carry me through tonight, mused Alice Palmer, back in 1918. I was the most popular girl. A very bold, undignified statement for a lady, Miss Palmer. And she looked up to find the Class Old Maid, Anne Miller, the person speaking. You should know better than to speak about yourself like that. I wish you ' d all listen to me. I ' ve been still long enough. I have some- thing I want to tell you. You ' d be shocked if you knew. Of course, here was Catherine McQuillan again, but for whom, the celebrities of P. S. N. S. would never have enlightened as to each other ' s doings. Oh, please, please, tell us. I should love to know if it ' s the story Mamma heard at the bazaar. Mamma ' s Boy, Carl Myers, clapped his hands in glee, at the possibility of hearing what the Class Gossiper had to say. Well, it ' s only this. I was astonished the other day to find Miss Goodman walking down street with Charlie Lyons. Miss Goodman carried off honors as Class Flirt, back in the good old days, and at this startling bit of news, the Class Saint nearly fell off her chair, and the Old Maid wondered if that ' s why some people aren ' t altogether unfortunate. Page eighty-nine It ' s almost time you ' d let us have our entertainment. I never heard such babble. Miss Cagwin ' s sarcasm had a good effect ; for in less than a second later, an almost deathlike silence possessed the meeting room. Now, Mr. Lyons, if you ' ll please summon our performers, and Mr. Lyons immediately obeyed the chairman. The curtains, shutting off the other room were removed — and the spectacle that presented itself brought volumes of laughter from the throng. The Class Giant, Mable Austin, strolled in, leaning on the arms of each of the Skinny Twins, Helen Bond and Beatrice Scriver. Behind them wabbled in the Class Fatty, Elizabeth Graves, and the laughter was almost drowned out by Madeline Butler ' s giggle. These performers walked the entire length of the room, bowing and smiling to their old classmates, until they reached the far left-hand corner, and there the} ' sat down. Just then, the orchestra struck up some dance music, and in tripped Marion Parkhurst, Class Dancer. She held the audience ' most speechless by her wonderful graceful movements. Storms and storms of applause accompanied the finish of her dance, and as it died out, from the center door, the Faculty rode in on their goats, Ruth Slater and Frances Abra- hamson. There was a rustle, a noisy stirring, and in an instant, the Faculty ' s Pets rose and walked forward to meet them. Victoria Dougan told Miss Alice O ' Brien that she was ready and willing to do anything that was wanted of her. The Misses Finn, Fiske, Frazier, Ellenwood, and Etienne, all crowded around Miss Carrol — each trying to get ahead of the other, to do any of Miss Carrol ' s biddings. Both sororities, scrambled around Miss Steele. They broke the news gently to her that her dishes were to be used for the refreshments that were to follow the enter- tainment and told her they were sure her love for the sororities would overcome any fear she might entertain for the welfare of her dishes. Dot Lyons told Miss Garrity she would gladly sing for her any time. Just then Mr. Todd said he wanted what Air. Thompson had to say taken in shorthand, for the next publica- tion of the Gregg Writer, and Mildred Hill volunteered to do that. She always had her tablet and pencil ready for emergencies such as these. Dr. Kitchell ob- jected strongly for he was afraid that some of the loose pages would accidently fall on the floor, and detract from the tidiness of the meeting room. But Miss Gorman, his pet, alleviated this fear by volunteering to pick up all scraps of paper and open the windows after the meeting adjourned. Dr. Henshaw broke the silence that followed this by one of his usual jokes, and upon the lack of response in the form of expected hilarity, Marion Martin consoled him by offering to go among the crowd and explain the point ; for it was indeed too good to lose. When this was done, the roof ' most rose with the laughter that followed, and all the effort, which Mr. Sinclair put forth to gain an audience, went to naught. Page ninety There was an important announcement that he had to make, and it was very necessary that he have the undivided attention of the throng. Stella Patnode, always willing to help Mr. Sinclair, came to the rescue, by occupying the Chair- man ' s platform and rapping on the desk — with good results. Then Mr. Shallies insisted that roll call be taken, and straightway. Miss Dundas produced the well- worn chart and when it was found that all the Honorary Members were present, refreshments were served and the meeting was adjourned. (With Apologies.) A. J. M., ' 18.

The nights are falling schoolmates mine Our living models, weary, But through the future comes a sign Which looks upon them cheery. We ' ve seen them follow a winding path With measured step and slow The days have measured all they hath As the evening sun is low. To them a new vacation calls With promise rich and glowing To us they leave but vacant halls Kind words forever sowing. O fear not, in a world like this ; For thou shalt know ere long. Just how sublime a thing it is, To strive in a mighty throng. Farewell ! Farewell, success to all Is the wish of those left behind. And wherever you go may nothing befall, To erase P. N. S. from your mind. Valedictory To you, fellow Seniors and students, to our friends gathered here and to you, our teachers, I bring these last words: At last we have come to this great day, a day of days, our Commencement, and we, the Class of 1918, are gathered as undergraduates for the last time. When we entered this school two short years ago. graduation seemed as a distant mountain — vague and veiled in the morning mist, but almost before we realized it this moment has come which severs us from the associations of our school days. Today we must say farewell to those things which have made our school days precious to us — joy brought by success in our work, by a new found friend or the word of prais e and the happiness of others, sorrow by failure, by the broken bond of friendship, the loss of a classmate and an opportunity unheeded. Tomorrow we can look back upon our duties and labors, so often real burdens to us — a book unopened, a lesson unlearned, a class neglected, a new rule broken ; but all petty trifles, slight mistakes, the difficult problems, the moments of sus- pense, will seem as mere trivialities when we view them in the Land of Memory. But let us not regard this as the end of our school days. They are only beginning. We have had but a few short years of preparation and now must go forth to enter as students in the great school of Life. So it is not good-bye that we say now — it is only farewell, and farewell in its deepest, truest sense means God be with you. — God be with you till we meet again. So to you fellow Seniors I say farewell. We are linked together by ties formed by joys, sorrows, labors, failures and successes shared. Today we are gathered as a class for the last time but we must now part and tomorrow go out as individuals. Yet even then we shall always be the Class of 1918 and let us ever keep in mind that our work is not to ourselves alone, but to the honor and history of our Class. And to you the Class of 1919 we say farewell. Next year you will be Seniors and what this school will be, will depend on you. We look to you to make it all we have failed to make it, and we know that because you have seen in us many failures and mistakes you will be the better able to avoid those mis- takes yourselves. We now must say farewell to all our friends who have watched our progress in this school with such kindly interest. You have been our supporters and our allies — rejoiced with us in our successes, comforted us in our failures. We Pane ninety-three know you are looking to us to accomplish great tilings and may we live up to your hopes and ideals. And last of all we say farewell to you our teachers who have been the guides leading us to a happy culmination of our student days. We know we have often been careless and inconsiderate, and even if wc have not always seemed to, we truly appreciate all your efforts in our behalf. We appreciate all the advice, reproof and praise you have given us for we know that because of them we are better prepared to meet life with its difficulties. We have learned from you lessons never found in books. You have guided us not only by your conscious efforts to impart knowledge that is found between the covers of a textbook, but by the unconscious influence of your examples. We look to you not only as teachers but as friends to whom we may turn for advice and counsel and we shall never forget your assistance and guidance, your patience enduring, your interest sincere. Your influence, strong, will remain with us forever. So to you, the Faculty of this school, the Class of 1918 bids an affectionate farewell. Now, fellow Seniors, let us go forth with a firm resolve to do our best, to be willing to sacrifice pleasure to duty, to meet all joys and trials with equal strength and to bring new honor and glory to our Alma .Mater.

Page ninety-six PLATTSBURGH NORMAL Dear Snifles : This is the awfulest school I ever seen. We don ' t get no good vacations nor nawthing and when we came back to it after Christmas they slipt something new on us. You know the way it was be four we used to git up at 7.30 o ' clock and it got light so we could dress and see to eat breakfas ' without the light but now this new skeme we haf to git up about six and we don ' t see no light until we git to school. A girl in the same house as me nearly got killed last week. She tried to brush her teeth in the dark and squeezed a tube of Ruf on Rats paist on her brush but we got her to the Champlain Valley Hospittle befour she died. Its fierce on us girls cause lots of us that has no light cause our boarding mistresses conserves haf to go to school half made up. One morning at day- break in Algebra, Dr. Kitchel saw some powder on one of the girls faces. He spoke pretty strong against it. You know hes kind o ' old fashion and 1 guess they din ' t use it in his day. Of course, Snifles, I think we should do all in our power to help Uncle Sam in this big war between New York State and Germany but you know I was al- ways pretty good in figures but I can ' t figure out how we can save any coal by this new system. You see we all haf to git up erlier and fires haf to start erlicr and we stay up just as late at night studying. But Mr. Thompson says we can, so it must be so. Theres one thing about this one cession as the seniors call it that we all like and its cause we can go to movies afternoon and evenin. Well Snifles, dear, there ain ' t much else new only a lot arc worrying about scarlet fever as its around town. But dont you worry over Snoodles cause I had it. Yours respectively, SNOODLES. Page ninety-seven ACT I— SCENE I Place — Chapfl Time— 10.03 Rise of curtain finds Miss O ' Brien, slightly impatient Enter: Timid pupil. Pupil: Miss O ' Brien? Miss O. : Wasn ' t our appointment for 10.00 o ' clock. It is now 10.03. I ' m always prompt, why can ' t you be. Pupil : I ' m sorry, shall I start ? Miss O. : When do you go on the rostrum? Pupil : Tomorrow. Miss O. : (Stingingly) Tomorrow! Why didn ' t you come before. It ' s Mr. Shallics fault. He never tells the students on time. It ' s going to be a failure and it won ' t be my fault. (Student decides Mr. Shallics has broad shoulders and can stand it so says nothing.) Miss O. : Well go on with the essay. Remember, don ' t fall over Dr. Kitchell ' s feet. (Pupil bows sharply.) Miss O. : No that won ' t do at all. It ' s too pert. Anyway you looked up too soon. Don ' t look up until you are ready to nod. Try it again. Don ' t look like a funeral. Look pleasant. (Imagine looking pleasant under these circumstances.) (Pupil tries five times.) Miss O. : It ' s not very good but I can ' t practice the bow all morning. Now go on with the essay. Don ' t start to read until you are planted safely in the middle of the platform. Go on. Pupil : Little do we realize Miss O. : Little Dewey who? Speak more distinctly. Pupil : Little do we realize Miss O. : Oh, no, no, no, lit-tle do — we re-al-ize. Pupil : Lit-tle, do we re-al-ize. Miss O. : That ' s better, go on. No you better not. Go back to your scat and start all over again. (After about twenty minutes torture of this kind.) Miss O. : Well it ' s the best I can do for you. You just won ' t enunciate and I can ' t make you. Anyway Mr. Shallics should have told you earlier. (Again conscience bothers pupil who merely makes meek assent to all remem- bers. ) Page ninety-nine ACT II— SCENE I Place — Rostrum Time — Next Day Pupil stumbles over Dr. KitchcU ' s feet. (But then, do you blame the pupil en- tirely for that?) Makes pert bow. Starts reading before reaching center of platform. Knees begin to click. Hands shake. Starts about 60 miles an hour. Lit-t-le do- we- we- we re-al-al Miss O ' Brien faints. (Quick curtain.) Mr. Todd (to Charles Lyons at the blackboard in Shorthand Class) : Now, I wouldn ' t do that if I were you, Mr. Lyons. Charles: Wh— What did I do, Mr. Todd? Mr. T. : Well I just said I wouldn ' t do that. The word I told you to write was huger, not as you have it, hugger.
