It is the art which is associated with all civic pride and sacred principle. As the class of 1919 enters upon its chosen vocation, each member becomes a builder, not of structures made with hands, but of character, of the souls of men and of nations. It is well that each contemplate with seriousness the structure to be reared. Almost fifty years ago a prince dreamed of world dominion. For his founda- tion he used the schools to inculcate in the minds of his youth his supreme military ambition. The wisdom of this course in so far as the accomplishment of his purpose is concerned cannot be denied. Never has a nation so proved the power of education to transform, to dwarf, to pervert the souls of men. With this example before us, we take up our tools with reverence, almost with fear, realizing what an influence they are to wield in the future of nations, realizing that in our hands lies the power not only to mold the future of our own land, but that of the world. As to the foundation, so will be the final structure. May we, the class 1919, so build that the fate of our country be. never jeop- ardized but ever secured by the ideals and aspirations of our building. H. H.

We believe in the curse of ignorance, in the efficiency of schools, and in the joy of serving others. We believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives, as well as in the pages of a printed book; in ability to work with the head; in everything that makes life large and lovely. We believe in beauty in the schoolroom, in the home, in daily life and out of doors. We believe in laughter, in love, in faith, in all ideals and distant hopes that lure us on. We believe that every hour of every day we receive a just reward for all we are and all we do. We believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its promises and in the divine joy of living. Page sixteen Baby Bloomingdale, N. Y. Margaret S.

Paye thirty-one Class History OUR NORMAL DAYS It is with mingled feelings of sadness and joy that we review our Normal Days. A feeling of sadness comes over us when we realize that the time for parting has come. The pleasant memories that come thronging bring us joy and in the future will brighten our way when darkness gathers. The second Wednesday of September. 1917. was a memorable day in the life of each of us. On that day the Class of 1919 started on its journey through these honored halls of learning. The first few weeks of Normal School life were busy ones. The various • ' rush parties which were really get acquainted parties, helped us to ward off that terrible disease called homesickness, which was hovering over us. At the close of the rush season, the Juniors at last had time to pay some attention to the heretofore unimportant lessons. At last the longed-for Christmas holidays arrived. The exuberant spirits of the Juniors were inspiring to see. The well needed rest prepared them to take up the hard work which was before them in the form of mid-year exams. These much dreaded horrors were finally a thing of the past, and life became one grand sweet song for a while. At the beginning of the second semester, the Junior Class was organized with Mr. Martin as class president. The class displayed good judgment in making its choice. The annual Mid-year Dance was held on the evening of March sixteenth in the gymnasium. The decorations, suitable for St. Patrick ' s Day, were most effective. Tt was not long before June with its days crowded with work and play was at hand. Graduation was soon over, the last farewell was said, and the busy halls no longer echoed to the merry chatter of the students. Summer vacation quickly fled, and almost before we realized it, we were once more in the familiar classrooms and corridors. On September 11. 1918, we as high and mighty Seniors, greeted each other joyfully and cast an appraising eye on the timid and humble Juniors. We realized Page thirty-two from the beginning that a difficult task was ours in assuming the responsibility of the guardianship of the Juniors. The customary social functions were the main events of the first few weeks. The Senior Class was organized and Mr. Martin was again chosen president. Owing to the fact that Mr. Martin left school to join the S. A. T. C, Miss Lewis, who was vice-president, became president. During the time of the influenza epidemic in October, the main question of the day at school was, Do you suppose school will close? School did close, and our enforced vacation was a lengthy one. When we resumed our school tasks, we found them rather difficult. The Saturday sessions were a strain on the Faculty and students alike. The unex- pected Christmas vacation was very much appreciated, and we came back to school ready to surmount all obstacles and plod steadily ahead. Mid-years were much easier than we expected. We attributed this to the thought fulness and consideration of the Faculty. The Mid-year Dance, held on February twenty-first was a very successful affair and an occasion long to be remembered. After this social event, one day seemed to glide imperceptibly into the other, and the last few weeks of school were upon us before we noticed the swift pass- ing of time. Before bringing our History to a close, let us extend to the Faculty, and our Alma Mater, in consideration of the kindness and help we have received, the sincere gratitude of the members of the Class of 1919. During the two years that we have worked together as classmates, many friendships have been formed, which we trust will be lasting. In concluding, let us say in all sincerity, that Among the beautiful pictures That hang on Memory ' s wall, The one of our happy Normal Days, Seemeth the best of all. E. Nye. Page thirty-three President ' s Address Members of the Faculty. Classmates and Friends: At this time we, the members of the Class of 1919, have gathered to leave with you our parting thoughts for this is our Class Day. It signifies that we are to enter a field of work, of responsibility, and of care, no longer resting on the guidance of those who during our two years here have led us onward in the path of right and justice. The time of our school days as pupils is over, for the onward march of time is not halted for the pleasure or convenience of mortals, neither to allow the correction of errors nor yet to contemplate the success achieved during these days. We act, and having acted, are caught in the mighty swell and carried on, we know not where. We must now turn our attention to the larger realms of life which we shall find are like the day; each inclining breaks full of hope and promise; the sun mounts high and gallops fast to the meridian, and hastens on to setting. The evening comes and then the night. At the best our life is but a brief span and barely affords us time ' to prepare for its duties ere the curtain falls and our probation is over. As we take up our new tasks. I feel sure that each and everyone will do to the best of his ability and bring all attempts toward success. Dr. Hawkins and Members of the Faculty: To you we owe far more than simple words can express, but at this time we are given an opportunity to acknowledge in a small way, what you haw been to us. When the lessons seemed difficult and far beyond our power and the days were filled with uncertainty, your kind words, thought fulness and careful in- struction have convinced us that you are our best friends and may we in a humble way express our thanks and gratitude and may each succeeding year bring glory, health and happiness to your lives. Classmates We have met and kindness round us Hath a wreath of beauty twined; Peace and glad good-will have bound us Heart to heart and mind to mind. Words of greeting have been spoken, I lands been clasped as oft before : Be this friendship long unbroken, Bright the years for each in store. Louise Lewis. Page thirty-Jour Class Poem The commencement of life lies before us, Duty con f ronts us today ; Rut golden memories will linger When life ' s glamor has flitted away. Soon we will start on life ' s voyage, O ' er an ocean vast and unknown ; We must guide the courses of others, Who, about, in their passage are blown. Life is not filled with mere pleasure, Dame Fortune will oft wear a frown; Rut sweet are adversity ' s uses, For after the cross — there ' s a crown. O grant that the future fond memories, A message of comfort will bring. When we think of these days that are passing And the friendships we ' ve formed in life ' s spring. In memory of our Alma Mater, Whose precepts we ' ll ever revere ; Let us pledge a full measure of service, And be faithful through each coming year. Margaret M. Tracy. Page thirty-five Class Oration THE GREAT ADVENTURE OF CIVILIZATION The master- word today of the free peoples of the world, and of the peoples struggling to be free, is democracy. It means different things to different minds: and in no mind does it mean anything simple or definite. That it is nevertheless a word to conjure with, a word that has in this war been as potent as an army with banners, is due not so much to its intrinsic power as to its association with tremendous facts; facts accomplished and facts in the course of being accom- plished. The great career of our mighty Republic; the steady spread of its example over almost every land in the Old World and the New ; the ferment in the Central Empires themselves, the last stronghold of autocracy ; the association which this war has produced of the idea of autocracy with that of inhumanity and bad faith, and of the idea of democracy with that of honor and humane progress — all this has added wonderfully to the effectiveness of the word democ- racy, and its power was great to begin with. The masses undoubtedly think of democracy merely as a form of government, the rule of the people. Students of society, however, know that this is only one aspect of democracy and that democracy is to be understood only as a form of social life; that the political phases of de mocracy rest upon social and moral foundations much deeper than mere governmental forms. Even when conceived as the rule of the people, the question always remains, Who are the people ? This question has been answered so variously from age to age that the answers summarize the whole history and trend of democracy. In ancient Greece the people were a master class imposing their authority as a sovereign group upon a population of which from one-half to four-fifths were slaves, and another very considerable fraction without citizenship rights. From the modern point of view Greek democracies, so-called, were not democ- racies at all, but were despotic societies, ruled by a very small oligarchic or aris- tocratic class. Throughout our own history, indeed, the definition of who con- stitutes the people has been so narrow that only a very small fraction of our population has had any actual share in the work of government. Slaves were excluded from our conception of the people until the Civil War, and women until very recent times. Paije. thirty-six On the other hand, among some existing- savage and barbarous peoples there were democracies in which the people included all the adults recognized as be- longing to a particular group. In these primitive democracies such as those of many North American Indian tribes, clan and tribal assemblies or councils de- cided all matters pertaining to the group as a whole ; and in such assemblies not only the men, but also the women, had a voice as a rule. There were two out- standing features of these primitive democracies, however, which sharply dif- ferentiate them from democracy as we think of it in the modern world. Majority rule was practically unknown among them but every decision which they reached regarding group action had to be a practically unanimous decision. This rule of unanimity made the primitive democracy static, non-progressive, or at least very slow to make changes. Hence the second feature of their life which differs froin ours was that democratic control with them was almost wholly the control of custom and tradition. Intelligence, after all, had a very small part to play in such habit-ridden communities. Modem democracy is accordingly something quite unlike its classic and primitive prototypes. Democracy in classic antiquity was really aristocracy or oligarchy; in primitive times it was simply the rule of custom in a group of sympathetically like-minded individuals. Unlike ancient democracy, modern democracy is unwilling to recognize any subject or servile class, or indeed any class of adults who are excluded from political privileges. It rests rather upon the recognition of the potentially equal social worth of all individuals. Unlike primitive democracy, modern democracy does not rest upon the customary similarity of habits, feelings and ideas of the group, but aspires rather to rest upon the rational, intelligently formed judgment of every normal adult individual in the group. It is a serious error to confuse the various types of social life and of government to which the term democracy has been applied. Modern democ- racy, it is evident, is a wholly new stage of social evolution, and may truly be called the great adventure of our civilization. The various stages in the evolution of social control will make plain to us the nature of modern democracy, and why it is the great adventure of the modern world. A review of these stages will show, in other words, the exact significance and nature of modern democracy in relation to social evolution. The lowest form of social control of which we know is that which rests upon instinct. Such social control, if such we may call it, is characteristic of animal groups. But the lowest human groups of which we have knowledge show a very different type of control — that of habit, custom and tradition. All existing savage com- munities of mankind show this type of control and we have every reason to be- lieve that it represents the primitive human social condition. It is the type of social control which we find in the primitive democracies just mentioned. The Page thirty-seven control exercised by them was through the sympathetic and formal like-mindedness which rested largely upon the sentiment of kinship; and hence the organization of such primitive democracies was of the simplest sort. A third form of social control is that in which the control is exercised by the despotic power of a small group of individuals over a larger group. This control sprang from the conquest of one group by another. After the conquest and subjugation of one group by another, of necessity, some sort of machinery of government had to be elaborated in order to establish and maintain the unity of the whole population. Centralized control in the hands of definite authorities became inevitable. Under such circumstances the war chief usually developed into a king, with his authority more or less limited, however, by the council of the conquering tribe. In many cases despotic form of monarchic government gradually developed ; but in some groups the tradition that the freemen of the conquering tribe were the source of authority persisted, and after the subjugated elements had become reconciled to their position as slaves, the former drove out their kings and distributed authority again democratically among themselves. Thus arose the democracies of classic antiquity. They were democratic only with reference to the members of the conquering class. In essence, however, they were despotic societies, since the ruling class maintained its authority and the unity of the whole population through a fear-inspired obedience. Their utter un- likeness to modern democracy is evident. Within the last one hundred years or so a fourth and higher type of social control has been gradually emerging in the most advanced nations of western civilization — a type of control in which the unity of the group is secured, not through custom and tradition based upon the sentiment of kinship, nor through coercive authority, but through the intelligent purpose and will of the whole population. We may call this new type of social control free society in contrast with the custom-ruled and the despotic societies of the past. This is modern democracy. In essence it is a form of social control in Which the untrainmeled opinion and will of every adult member of the group enters into the determination of the group behavior. It is much more, therefore, than a form of the state or of government. It is now evident why democracy, in the modern sense, is at once the hope and the great adventure of our race. It is the hope of mankind because it is to groups what self-determination and self-realization are for the individual. It represents, if it can be successfully achieved, nothing less than the final phase of social control and of political evolution, the goal toward which all human history has been striving. On the other hand, it is an adventure, because its success obviously depends upon the possibility of vast masses of men forming rational opinions and executing rational decisions as a group. Page thirty-eight Democratic society, in other words, must find a means of selecting among all the possible opinions which the members of a large group may develop the most rational opinion and of basing group decision and group action thereon. Modern democracy depends, therefore, upon free thought, free public discussion, a free press, free assemblage, and free selection of public policies and public leaders; for if we do not have free thought and free public discussion before a policy is entered upon, we cannot have that process of mutual education by which the most rational ideas are brought to prevail. It is evident that democracy, in order to be intelligent must devote itself to the work of training social and political leaders as well as the general diffusion among the masses of social and political information, and modern democracy has evidently not yet fully awakened to the importance of this matter of training its leaders. With trained leaders, and with the masses at large trained to take the social point of view, and to work cooperatively with their fellows, there is no reason why democratic societies should not be as efficient as autocratic societies. Indeed, they will be more efficient — just as the football team in which every mem- ber of the team knows so well how to play his part that he does not need to wait for directions from his captain is more efficient than the team in which every member waits upon direction from above before he plays his part, This house of life which we have inherited from our forefathers must indeed be built larger and fairer, if it is to stand: and we shall prove but unworthy descendants, if we have not grown with the growth of years and added unto it. The benighted and enslaved peoples of Germany will never learn from us the beauty of democracy until we. who have had the privilege so long, realize it more fully ourselves. The world will not be safe for democracy until democracy is safe within the minds of the great mass of men, in clearer vision than has ever yet been attained. Marjorie A. Locke. Page thirty-nine Charge to the Juniors To the Juniors of the Plattsbitrgli Stale Normal School: In behalf of the Class of 1919, it is altogether fitting and proper that I should make a few parting remarks to you in contemplation of the past year. Now, it is well understood, that the mind never attains to great intellectual strength without first forming a habit of reflection. So turn your minds back a while, and from the material you find in your memories, I will recall a picture for you. Early in the autumn of last year, when my colleagues and I returned to Plattsburgh, to again take up our training, we found darting in and out of our quiet and peaceful classrooms, such strange beings that we grew anxious to know what they were. Someone quickly solved the problem, by saying that a zoological exhibition had escaped from the County Fair, then in progress, and had taken flight to the Normal School. However true that was, no one ever called for them and here they remained. What they were for no one seemed to know, so a delegation from our class went to Professor Hudson and asked him if they were animals turned loose among us for observational work in Nature Study. lie replied, Indeed, no ; and added that he had never made a practice of ob serving the freaks of Nature, but just the regular species. This humble crowd turned out to be the Junior Class. Juniors! can you appreciate the situation that presented itself to us? How we should have liked to draw our robes close about us and escape from contact with such irresponsible beings as you were. But we have never been known to shirk our duty and we rose most magnificently to this situation. When a Junior, lately dismissed from class, came bounding down the stairs, jostling ink bottles in one hand and carrying assorted paraphernalia in the other, endangering the lives of all who passed that way, a Senior laid a hand upon the student ' s shoulder and said, A little softer there, if it ' s all the same to you. One morning, we Seniors, by common consent, proudly floated our class colors, the royal purple and gold. It was a new idea to you Juniors and consternation was clearly written on all your faces. To get them and possess them, to have them for your very own, called forth that smoldering instinct of barbarism again. A war-cry, a howl, a rushing attack, not on us as a whole, but only when one Senior detained a little could be separated from the rest, and then — I prefer not to describe the details for I am sure they are not highly creditable to you ; and as Page forty it is my object here to recall your many, many shortcomings, only that you may see your folly and repair your ways, I shall not further expose your shame. After practically every examination during the year, it has been necessary for us to actually use terms of threat to abate the weeping and wailing, and several times the report came in that the Normal School had been swept away by a cloudburst. After much helpful hinting on our part, you finally assembled for a class meeting, at which the principal point at stake was the election of officers. We really congratulate you on your selection considering the fact that you had such poor material from which to choose. And when they are all about on the same level it is quite a proposition. Your president, a little confused and be- wildered with the dignity of his position, the like of which he had never held before, completely forgot that a properly organized class should have class colors and sometimes a motto. But after more helpful suggestions from the Seniors, those ever-watchful guardians, you managed to have a series of meetings all for the same purpose, namely the selection of colors. But secrecy was beyond you, for you unconsciously published the news to your Senior friends, a perfectly natural thing for irresponsible people to do. We were deeply grieved, little friends, to discover that bravery possessed by most animals roaming at large, was lacking in your makeup. The Red, White and Blue was surely a safe selection. A feeling of sadness creeps o ' er us as we look into your blank faces, faces absolutely devoid of any expression, realizing as we do that tomorrow you must steer out to sea, hopeless derelicts upon the tossing waves. But, surely, our efforts have not been wholly in vain, for the good example we have set for you cannot fail to bring some good results. Therefore, I do hereby charge you to hold in fond and loving remembrance your worthy guardians. If any particular difficulty ever confronts you, stop and calmly think, What would a member of the Class of 1919 do? Lucy Bartholomew. Page forty-one Reply to the Seniors Though it is the last day that our two classes will he together, we Juniors feel we should prove that, though you may think you have succeeded in bluffing the faculty, you have not accomplished this same end with us. Can it be possible that you are willing to accept your diplomas after you have gone through P. S. N. S. in this manner? Can you remember our first day in P. S. N. S. when you pretended to advise us about the various members of the faculty, Bennic, Tommie. Daddy and the others ? Do you remember the descriptions you gave us of the methods you used in getting in soft so to speak, with the faculty, in general, and these individually ? Think back to the day when you came to school wearing colors which every school for miles around had chosen for its very own. Purple and gold ! Purple for six months ' mourning for the sins of your junior year, golden yellow for your fear and dread of the coming year. Do you remember during the course of the morning when you found that the Juniors were having such fine success with their rush that you felt it necessary to employ some one as messenger to Dr. Hawkins. What was the result? Did Dr. Hawkins scold the Juniors? Indeed not. Instead, he lectured the Seniors so severely that whenever your thoughts carry you back to that morning, your knees go knock, knock. What does this prove? To us it proves that we are the class in the eyes of the faculty. Three weeks later, the Junior Class held its first meeting. What did you Seniors stoop to do? Well, you posted sentinels at all the doors where it would be possible to overhear any or all business transacted. How foolish you proved yourself in your ridicule of our choice of class colors. That this was an excellent choice we can easily show to you. The red for our exceptional brightness, al- ready vouched for by the faculty. The white for innocence of all wrong done during the year (such as throwing garbage on Dr. Kitchell ' s Moor) ; and the blue for loyalty to each member of the faculty, for we never spoke of them as Bennie, Daddy, Tommy and Toddy. Oh! those fateful days when you had charge of classes during Mr. Todd ' s absence. What was the result of Mr. Thompson ' s inopportune appearance in the typewriting room? You immediately questioned the Juniors regarding the parts of the machine, of which you were sure they were acquainted. How you jumped with joy. upon his leaving the room. What did you do, but all but beg of us on your bended knees not to question you in shorthand. What scornful looks we received when we were displeased with our marks and attempted to tell Mr. Todd. Page forty-tivo We should like to ask a question or two about teaching the commercial arithmetic in high school. Is it good policy to interview your students before class and ask them for explanations for that day ' s lesson, and also about taking the illustrative problems given in the book and simply change the figures so that it is not necessary to work the problems in order to get the method ? Aren ' t girls who are Seniors in a normal school supposed to be above such childish actions as turning to see the visitor when the teacher escorts him into the room? We thought so but we found we were mistaken. For proof of that we should suggest that you visit accounting class shortly before mid-year, when so many of the alumni were to be seen about the school — especially those honorably discharged. Seniors, we suggest that when you become high school teachers if you are not able to remember what class recites next, that you make out your program and place it on your desk where you will be able to see it and so be sure to have in mind when shorthand recites, and not to be running in and exclaiming. Oh! I ' m in the wrong room. Who answers next in accounting? That is a question thai we Juniors wondered at, for it is always to be heard wherever there may be a group of com- mercial Seniors. We wish someone would explain this to us for we understood that one was supposed to prepare the whole lesson not just the question which he or she might be called on to explain. We know that Mr. Correll wondered why you persisted in not handing back our penmanship papers. Mr. Correll, we know the reason. They were afraid that if they did, we should question them in other classes. Although you have been such terrible people all hope for your future is not lost. Shakespeare himself almost knew thai such a class as yours was coming to school here at Plattsburgh and has written the following passage exclusively for you : There is a tide in the affairs of men Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. Take heed now and there is no doubt hut that you will in the end (after much hard strife) be victorious, and then say, Well those Juniors were certainly right about us. Though we have accused you, this way, down in our hearts we feel differently toward you. To be honest with you we hate to see you go. But always remem- ber Seniors, that if you had never been Juniors you surely would not have been Seniors. We bid you farewell and wish you the best of luck. John J. Whalen. Page forty-three Class Prophecy Today as I was walking in a dim old forest where trees bend low and cast a deep shade, my mind wandered back to my days at the Normal School. It is just twenty years ago that the Class of 1919 left her doors forever. While thus engrossed in thought, 1 suddenly saw a bright vista of light — an opening — a clearing — down upon which the sun cast its glowing rays. What a marvelous Sight greeted my eyes — a most beautiful garden of roses lay before me! 1 stepped closer and examined the exquisite flowers. It was indeed strange that there were exactly forty-five. I again thought of June, 1919, as there were just forty-five in our class. I gathered every blossom, sweet memories of the past. Their petals have a message which I shall share with you. The first rose tells us of our valedictorian. Sing a song of History, Economics, Ed. and Math.; Four and twenty talents Marjorie surely hath. When reports were opened, Rejoicing there would be, For she ' d made a reputation With all the Faculty. Marjorie now occupies Mr. Benjamin Sinclair ' s seat in the History Depart- ment of the Plattsburgh State Normal School. Next we learn something about our salutatorian — Ethel Derway is a brilliant criminal lawyer in New York and will no doubt be nominated for District Attorney at the next election. Her ready speech in P. S. N. S. helped to prepare her for her life ' s work. I wonder why that rose is trying to look so dignified? Why, it says that Louise Lewis is one of the keepers at the St. Lawrence State Hospital. Louise showed such good discipline over the Senior Class that she readily obtained a position in the Asylum. This is not surprising. Margaret Tracy is the author of a helpful little book entitled, How to Learn History Without Studying It. I wonder what this beautiful rose has to say? It tells us that Agnes Bowe is fashion editor and advisor on the staff of the Kcescvllie Elite. Page forty-four This floral message tells us that Marjorie Locke and Violet Garrent have opened a dancing studio at Ausahle Chasm, where their famous folk dances attract more visitors than the Chasm itself. What a surprise! Genevieve Gonyea is successor of Theda Bara as a vampire. Her recent appearance with Perthival as her leading man set all Plattsburgh talk- ing. (There has been a reconciliation, you know.) Isn ' t this strange? Frances Wilcott is the fat lady in Barnum and Bailey ' s Three-Ring Circus. We always thought that Frances would gain in weight after she left the Normal School. This is quite a piece of news. Ethel Comins is the head waiter at Manna ' s, and it is rumored that her employer is seriously thinking of permitting her, in the near future, to make pancakes in the front window, because of her very capable and efficient services. Fthel gained fame in Alpha Kappa Phi for being on every refreshment committee. This is indeed strange. Margaret Amsden is a missionary in the wilds of A f rica ! Oh! just listen to this. Mae McDowell is the First Lady of the Land, her stately beauty, together with her many social graces, fit her exceptionally well for this exalted position. 1 cannot believe this about Mildred Gordon, Of body and visage, lean and lank, A diver great is she, Who cleaves the waves of the swimming tank In joy and festive glee. Mildred has won much fame as a second Annette Kellerman. What a surprise! Adeline Wallace now owns the Beechmint Gum Factory, where she can chew as much gum as she wishes without anyone ' s calling her down. Can this be true? Lucille Bonner is running a Home of Rest for Old Maids ' ' who seek shelter therein after their strenuous efforts in pursuit of a husband. Alma dray and Helen Donnelly are two of the prominent inmates of Miss Bonner ' s aforementioned Home of Rest. They are slowly recuperating from their huge disappointments in not winning husbands, but hope to renew their efforts very shortly. One can never tell, the old saying goes, and I quite agree. This message says that Freddie Martin is a loyal member of the Salvation Army and can be heard speaking every night on Clinton Street. Well, Freddie was always sus- pected of being religiously inclined, but I do believe Marjorie Locke still lives on Clinton Street, even though her place of business is at Ausable Chasm. Page forty-five Well, I never dreamed of this! Dora Weinstein has sung her way up in the world and is now contralto soloist at the Metropolitan Opera House. This is quite logical. Doris Honsinger has perfected a device whereby the user may rise and get to school on time without effort. Doris is still at T. C. A., and spends every week-end on her estate at Chazy. If she doesn ' t feel like it, she never appears on Monday morning at Poultney. Will wonders ever cease? Charles Robart is Professor of Latitude and and Longitude in the Peasleeville High School. Professor Robart can reel off at a moment ' s notice the area of any country on the face of the globe. I always thought Alberta Rovelle possessed an exceptionally large amount of Yankee genius. She is the manufacturer of a patent rouge. She is also the author of a book on How to Make Dimples. Such news — Little Miss Snye is the Gym Instructor in P. S. N. S., having succeeded Miss O ' Brien, who now devotes her sole time to hearing the essays of the large Senior classes. Is this surprising? Jeanne Tancnbaum, after a course in Froebel ' s School, went to Chicago, where she has gradually risen to the position of Supervisor of Kindergarten and Children ' s Play Grounds. She has secured the degrees of B. A., M. A., P. Q. D, P. Q. R. S. T.. and B. S. ; and C. P. A. for her excellent work in Accounting. How unusual is this message! Lucy Bartholemew possesses a new recipe for disposing of superfluous fat. Her advice is, Sell it to the soapman. It is said that she will soon be counted among the great financiers of the country through the sale of this recipe. This beautiful rose tells us that Greta Howes has succeeded Miss Steele on the Normal School Faculty and is even more stern in kitchen discipline than I lie immaculate Miss Steele. What does this blossom say about Clarence? He is a Mormon preacher of note, his eloquence and saintly looks having won him more fame than even Billy Sunday had. Incidentally, did you know that Clarence had twenty wives ? I wonder what this beautiful rose has to unfold. Oh! Helen Hawkins is preceptress of a Reformatory School in Charlevoix, Michigan, and it says that especial emphasis is put on the study of zoology. The school boasts of a fairly large-sized zoo — and giraffes predominate. What are those words at the bottom of this petal? Oh! I see, There ' s a Reason. Oh! indeed. Van Nye is President of the First National Bank of Ausable Forks. As a side line, Evangeline writes poems, her specialty being Carrolls. This doesn ' t sound logical. Frances Wilkins has given up her position in Stackpole ' s Shoe Store and has just accepted a responsible position as head of a new column in Every W eek, namely, Advice to the Lovelorn. Page forty-six Historically speaking, this is correct. Hazel Morford is living a very secluded life far back from civilization. The cause of this unexpected state of affairs is that she so distorted her face by continuous smiling that she refused to mingle with the outside world. ll isn ' t at all surprising to find out that Rae Baker has married and settled down to the life of a housewife. Oh! flow funny. Margaret Murray is a sandwich-woman, walking up and down Margaret Street so that she can see all the classical soldier boys. This rose is so dainty. Well, no wonder. It says that Ada Cameron is suc- cessor to Lady Duff-Gordon as a designer of fancy dresses for P. S. N. S. students. Ada always said she would make a better dressmaker than school teacher. Oh! isn ' t this tiny bud sweet! What is its message? And still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all she knew? I-etitia Provost succeeded Miss Barker as preceptress of the downtown High. This is just what we all would expect. Margaret Renison is the most per- suasive and argumentative saleswoman of all those who represent Webster ' s General History of Commerce. Mr. Sinclair recommended her for this lofty position because of her great merit in History of Commerce class. Maude Durgan. Florence MeKenzie and Freddie Day are conducting a sanatorium for the feeble-minded. They never studied while attending P . S. N. S. Maude has just published a revised edition of St. Elmo. Be sure to secure a copy. Weltha Nichols is artist model for Hazel Downes. One of Hazel ' s pictures was shown recently on the cover of the Literary Digest. Helen Meagher is the leading woman physician in New York City and is noted for her skill as a brain specialist. This beautiful flower tells us that Julia Kaplan became discouraged with teaching and studied the art of nursing. Now she is engaged by the City of Plattsburgh to exterminate the germ of Firstloveritis, which was so prevalent in P. S. N. S. in our day. This last tall flower nods its head as if it had an important message to tell. Well, of all things. Hilda Nichols is head of the Immigration Bureau, having secured her position upon Mr. Sinclair ' s recommendation because she discussed the topic of immigration so well one day in History of Commerce class. The Juniors had better keep in mind that Mr. Sinclair remembers your work in History of Commerce exceedingly well, especially when he has positions to offer. My basket is empty. Tomorrow I shall return to my classes with the message of the roses in my heart. Madeline Hitz. Page forty-sewn Last Will and Testament We, the Class of 1919, of the State Normal School, City of Plattshurgh.

To the Faculty, we also give our greatest thanks and appreciation for their kindness, thought fulness, patience and goodwill. We devise to each their imaginary world with whatever they may need, as the stars of the sky; the red roses by the wall; the bloom of the hawthorne; the sweet strains of music and all else by which they may desire to figure to each other the lastingness and beauty of their lives. Furthermore, we hereby appoint Dr. Geo. K. Hawkins. Principal of the Pittsburgh State Normal School, executor of this, our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us.

Page fifty-three Senior Class Song Tune: Till We Meet Again I There ' s a song in the halls of the Normal. Each Junior has heard with a sigh, As its sad echoes fall On classroom and hall, ' Tis the ghost of the Seniors Goodbye. Chorus Smile the w hile you hid us all adieu, When the years roll by we ' ll come to you. To our Alma Mater true, Wearing gold and purple, Juniors. To remind us of the days of cheer; When by accident our teachers beamed. On us poor benighted creatures Groping for the light. II Right gladly we welcome commencement. And the pleasures that follow its wake : But nineteen nineteen and its memories dear, Will be hallowed for old times sake. Ill Then goodbye we must say to you Juniors, As out in the cold world we stray : For we ' re graduates now of P. S. N. S. So must all take our part in the fray. Doris Honsingf.r. Page fifty-four Ivy Oration It will be but a short time before the last farewell is over and we will be setting out on our separate paths. Up to this time we have been traveling along the broad highway but now we have come to the parting of the ways. We have looked forward to this day with eagerness, but now that it is here, we would fain keep it and not let it slip away into history. In spite of this parting which awakens a minor chord in our heart strings, we are happy because we are well started on our life work. Our success in completing this course is due, in a large measure, to the en- couragement and interest of the Faculty and to them we extend our sincere gratitude. The friendships, which we have formed during these years, have made our tasks lighter and will be a treasure to us in the years to come. The planting of the ivy is the last act which we as members of the Class of 1919 will ever perform. May this ivy take root and flourish through the years to come as we hope the spirit of our class will live — long after we have left our Alma Mater. Lktitia K. Provost. Page fifty-five Salutatory Teachers, Fellow Students, Friends: We, the Senior Class, today are standing at the portals of a new life and you honoring us with your presence here, show an interest in our future as great as that which you have already evinced in our past. Just a word may serve to recall our school life the past two years. True, some of the tasks seemed trouble some and difficult but time touches with rosy fingers the unpleasant reflections and leaves us in their place only happy memories. As we step across the threshold of our Normal School life we find ourselves confronted by a world of service and opportunity that has seldom been offered to those who have chosen the teaching profession. During the years we have spent in training ourselves, our nation has been put to the test of waging a great war and has not been found wanting in that science. Not only have our men proved themselves as great fighters as the heroes of old. not only have we spent our money lavishly for the accoutrements of war, but just as lavishly have we spent it for works of kindness and mercy in stricken lands, striving always to hold before the eyes of the world American ideals of justice and mercy. In the past few months our nation has been and is facing an even greater test, the test of the duties of peace and reconstruction. We as Americans have come to realize the great need for the education of our people in the ideals of our democracy if we wish to retain the high place we have achieved among nations. This great task lies chiefly with those who have chosen the work of training the America of tomorrow. With us lies the possibility of instilling and in- spiring ideals which will ever keep our Democracy worthy of emulation. May we be true to the training of our Alma Mater. Witli a heart full of gratitude for that which she has given, we go forth to serve our country with ideals broad in their view, high in their aim and great in their possibilities. In behalf of the Class of 1919 let me extend to you a most cordial welcome. Ethel J. Derway. Page fifty-six Valedictory Classmates, Juniors, Friends and Teachers: This is our Commencement Day. the day to which we have looked forward, hoped for and dreamed of. It symbolizes to us the end of one part of our journey down life ' s great highway: the first glance around a turn in the lane which we face eagerly, hopefully. Fellow classmates, we do not know what lies before us but we can never forget the two short years just past. Tasks which seemed mountains, problems which we struggled vainly to solve, now seem of the smallest consequence. A fresh white page is open before us. On it, we must write our acts and deeds that will spell success or failure. To you, Juniors, let us leave the sacred heritage of this school. May you guard its high ideals and principles and continue as you have always done through- out the brief year of our work together, to uphold the traditions of our Alma Mater. Friends gathered here, we wish to tell you how your kind interest and sympathy have made our tasks lighter, our pleasures doubly pleasant, and our successes worth striving after. For what helps more than a word of encourage- ment, the interest and understanding of a true friend. And now. last of all. we turn to you, our teachers. In parting, how can we express in a few simple words what your instruction, guidance and leadership has meant in us. Rather let us here resolve that by acts and deeds we will show how we have benefited by your unselfish work and kindly interest. And so the lime has come to say farewell, farewell to Classmates, Juniors, Friends and Teachers. May we go out into the world keeping true to ourselves, our associates and our dear Alma Mater. Marjokie L. Flint. Pupe fifty-seven °$ Jfraternttte: na Alpha Kappa Phi The Agonian Fraternity was organized on April 4, 1892, at Geneseo, New York. The object of the Fraternity was to promote intellectual, moral and social improvement. The Delta Chapter, located at Pittsburgh, was granted a charter at the fourth annual convocation held at Mansfield, Pennsylvania, on October 15. 1895. This year has been a happy one for the girls of Alpha Kappa Phi. A spirit of goodwill and unity of purpose have characterized our efforts. The first social event of the year was a Patriotic Tea Dance held in the gymnasium on Wednesday. September 18th. The name suggests the decorations which were most effective. The literary meetings and the various rush parties which followed varied the monotony of the daily routine. One morning, a number of girls appeared wearing bows of gold, blue and white. These bows and the noticeable good spirits of the girls proclaimed the fact that we were welcoming a number of new sisters. Our literary meetings have been interesting and enjoyable. One meeting took the form of a unique Life History Party. As the past of each Agonian was laid bare before our startled eyes, we realized as never before, what wonderful people were in our midst. The combination Valentine and Lincoln ' s Birthday meeting is well worth mentioning. The program presented at this meeting was an illustration of the initiative and ability of our Junior Agonians. At mid-year six girls became our sisters. On April 4th the twenty-seventh anniversary of the organization of the Agonian Fraternity, the Faculty and our alumnae sisters living in town, were entertained with an informal reception held in Agonian Hall. As a means of raising money for the refurnishing of our room, two cake and candy sales were held in the spring. Cake and candy were donated by the town alumnae, and due to this fact, the sales were very successful. On Wednesday, May 7th, three delegates from Delta Chapter left for Geneseo to attend the Agonian Convocation which was held with Alpha Chapter. As the year draws to a close, we think of our days in AK«I with joy and with regret. Joy comes with the memories of the good times we have had — regret is a forerunner of the parting of the ways. Page sixty-one The history of Agonia has been bright in the past and we may look forward to a yet brighter future. As in years past, may Agonians in years to come be held closely together by the ties of Alpha Kappa Phi. M. T. A is for the aim toward which we ' re striving, G is for the goodness that we own, O is for the oath we took at joining, N is for the name that ' s ours alone. 1 is for the ivy, our life ' s symbol, A ambition, N nobility; Put them all together, They spell AGONIAN, A word that means the world to me. M. Murray. Clionian History Nearly two years have passed since that first clay in September, when we entered the Normal as Juniors. As I look back, I remember with what trepida- tion we began this new life, but it soon passed away as we came into contact with those whose Sister Clios we became. Will we ever forget those first weeks filled with teas, receptions and rush parties, or the final pledge day and the morning that We so proudly wore the bow of gold and white? These pleasures, however, could not go on indefinitely so we settled down to a long period of hard work, which was only broken by an occasional literary meet- ing and the short rush season at mid-year when a few more were welcomed to our circle. Finally came the day to which we had been looking forward with both pain and pleasure — pain at the thought of parting from our Senior Clios, and pleasure at the thought of the vacation which we were to have. The summer months quickly rolled by, and September was again at hand. Now we were no longer the shy Juniors, but dignified Seniors. Remembering the hopes and fears of our first entry into Normal, we tried to make it as pleasant as possible for the Juniors, who were suffering the first pangs of homesickness. This soon passed away with the gaieties of rush season. At last came pledge day, and again the little bows of gold and white appeared, but it was the much dreaded initiation which made them feel that they were really Clionians. During the whole year we worked together in improving our room. Now one would hardly recognize it because of the transformation which was made by having the walls and floor done over, and new furnishings and hangings added. Although there were many interesting events which took place during the year, there are a few which stand out above all the others. Among these were the Card Party given by the Alumni, the entertainment presented at the Soldiers ' Club, and repeated at the Red Cross House at the Post, and last but not least, Convocation which was held the eighth, ninth and tenth of May. This, like all gatherings of its kind, proved to be a wonderful help and inspiration to us. Our cousins, the Agonians, gave us a formal reception, and the Alumni an automobile trip. At this time, we also held a banquet at the Witherill, a tea in Paye sixty-seven our Clio Room, and one at the Young Women ' s League, and an informal dance in the Normal Gymnasium. Now, our Normal School days are coming to an end, and soon we must part, hut wherever we may be. let us still be true to Clio. M. G. Page sixty-eight The Normal Club The Normal Club members possess that art of being able to entertain people so that they feel at home. This fact was demonstrated when the first party of the season was held at the Club House during the first week of school. At this pleasant gathering, the new girls began to feel that they were not mere outsiders looking on at the fun but were in fact within the charmed circle of fun makers. At the Fall Rally which was given by all the Clubs of the Young Women ' s League early in October, the Normal Club gave as its stunt a representation of the Seven Ages of Woman. We have had some interesting meetings. Our Thanksgiving party was appropriately named. At this party we learned what each member, as well as the whole world, had to be thankful for. A Kiddie Party was another enjoyable affair that was given by the Club. Who could believe that the serious, sober-minded Normal students could cast aside their dignity and carry out the idea suggested in the lines, Backward, turn backward, oh, Time, in thy flight, Make me a child again just for tonight. Our masquerade party was certainly democratic. Stately Colonial dames mingled with old-time mammies and Joan of Arc seemed to be quite interested in Charlie Chaplin. The annual banquet of the Y. W. L., which was held at the City Hall was a real treat to those who attended it. It was a gathering of all the Clubs and the Normal Club members were out in full force with their colors and yells. W hile the interest in the Club has not been as strong as we might wish, nevertheless, we who have enjoyed the good times that the Club has offered feel that the memories of our happy Club days will afford real pleasure in the years to come.

End superintendent with d E n t, Or slim your chances for a school will be, Unless your application, in its cycle, Finds out a man who can ' t spell his own title. Some school men to Professor are averse As title, but Proffessor is still worse; And save to ignorance invincible A high school head is not a principle. Never, in haste, except an invitation ; Accept you may. with prudent hesitation. Verbal reply is safest, if there ' s hurry: Mumble uccept, and you ' ve no need to worry. A cordual invitation may read well, But cordial is considered far more swell ; Though with skilled typists, as one can ' t deny. Tis more the fashion to print U for I. Affect, effect, dissolve, and disappoint, Are plagues in every education-joint ; Look out for them when you begin to teach ; Beware too of those pitfalls, speak and speech. Lose with one O means miss, or fail to find, Double the O, it signifies unbind ; Two A ' s there are in separate, and two E ' s — Do not disturb this balance, if you please. Page seventy-four Believe, deceive, and many a combination With I and E occasion sad vexation : Which vowel follows C, which follows L? A cue I know, but prudence says, Don ' t tell ! An ill-made Speller is a school-room blight — Pages of words one never needs to write; If children should have use for what they learn, Such books are good for just one thing — to burn. And school-marms who in daily drill engage On horrors like caoutchouc and phleborrhage, Neglecting choose and chose, receive and carry, Are not cut out for teaching — let them marry. A.

C — is for Cameron, whose delight is to travel — Just why, we leave to her friends to unravel ; And C stands for Comins, dispenser of sweets.

Then goes to the Sixth Grade, trembling with fright ; And also for Gordon, stately and tall, And Garrant and Gray — O Gee, that ' s not all ! We mustn ' t leave Clarence out of our jingle, Page seventy-eight Who thinks no man happy unless he stays single ; For marriage, he holds, is naught but vexation, To be shunned as a wise man avoids litigation. Such a cynical pose, and views unbefittin ' His years, make one ask who gave Gadway the mitten. H — stands for Hawkins, who dotes on white-rats, And various pets, but especially cats. We have heard how her cats, getting loose on the train, Fought a second Battle of Lake Champlain ; How they scampered around the car in their scraps, And scrambled over the passengers ' laps. For her latest — now girls, I forbid you to laugh — They say she ' s been trying to tame a giraffe. H — stands too for Honsie, whose taste in attire, Conservative, quiet, one can ' t but admire ; An admitted expert in the dangerous art Of taking captive the masculine heart. With a skill, helpless Male, no language can tell, She could rope you and brand you, and safely corrall. 11 — stands for Howes, Jakey ' s steady, you know. If one teacher ' s assertion is really so. And here we are driven clean out of our wits, To find a good hit for Madeline Hitz. K — is for Kaplan, whose terrible woes, In algebra methods every one knows ; L — stands for Lewis, quick-witted maid, Who, if things go amiss, always renders first-aid; And also for Locke. After which is she named, The writer of tales, or philosopher famed ? M — stands for MacDowell, superlative teacher, Where discipline is the cardinal feature ; Though she may not know a verb from a noun. All disorder she quells with a glance and a frown ; At milking a cow, or annexing a lunch, Or hooking a steady, she beats our whole bunch. M — stands for Murray, and Florence Mackenzie, Page seventy-nine Who, since Plattsburgh went dry, has lived in a frenzy; And also for M or ford, from over the river, Who has somehow escaped the nickname More Flivver ; Then Meagher and Martin we must not omit — If we left Freddie out, we ' d all have a fit. N — stands for Nichols, both Young and Old Nick, And also for Nye, in her teaching so slick. Letitia Provost and Alberta Rovelle Should learn, one to sing, the other to spell. R — stands for Renie, shortened from Renison, Whose mind ' s swift as a deer — when it ' s venison. And R stands also for Mr. Robart, Whom a railway trip lately proved constant of heart ; He honored every girl in the car With his company ; still, ' twas thought singular That somehow his seatmate was always the same Whenever the train to a tunnel came. S — stands for Snye, who in singing ' s no snide, For the fame of her talent is spread far and wide. Both Tracy and Tannenbaum come under T, One laughs all the time, and the other — not she. Under W, Frances Wilcott we find, And Frances Wilkins, two of a kind, And also Miss Wallace, listed already, And Weinstein, with plaintive voice and unsteady. When a caller rolled down the steps like a ball, Miss Weinstein inquired, with a smile, Did you fall? And though right-minded people are bound to deplore What he said in reply, do you wonder he swore ?

Then onward, though the vict ' ry ' s won Through struggles without number, To conquer ere the setting sun Has called the world to slumber. Josephine Stewart. Page eighty-eight Attention A particular case which recently confronted us and which we were engaged to ferret out may he of interest to the public. One afternoon as we neared the seashore we observed Comin(s) toward us a very dignified young lady. As she drew Nye we became suspicious and as is customary with detectives we had in our possession a small vest-pocket Camero(n) and quickly snapped her picture for possible use in the future. As she passed us we observed that she was industriously searching her Perc(y) and we saw a card drop to the ground. Investigation proved that the card bore the name of MacKenzie. Whether or not this was the name of the lady we at least had a clue to Trac(y). We decided to wait awhile as we knew she was there for the summer and to let matters shape themselves. We then took a wheel chair along the board walk. As we went by a florist ' s stand we saw a man whom we recognized as a Provost buying some Violets. Leaving the wheel chair at the stairway we descended to the sand. There we rented a sunshade from a colored boy and seated ourselves comfortably on the sand and read some magazines which we had purchased before coming down. We became very much interested in an article by Dora Weinstein emphasizing the great work of her friend and colleague, I. Mae MacDowell as a suffragist. It was now time to leave the beach for we had to reach the Plaza in time for a concert, not for the sake of the music but to follow up our clue. As we re- lumed the sunshade, we inquired the direction to the Plaza and the colored boy replied. Derway to de Plaza? Wilkin(s) take yer der. at which his brother nodded politely and started on. Arriving there we separated, as our seats were not together, having chosen them so for the furthering of our purpose. After I had been ushered to my seat I found that I had judged correctly, for the girl of our search was seated in orchestra E 12, center aisle, while my seat was F 14. and from the facts we had learned I knew her to be Miss MacKenzie. In con- sulting the program I saw that Lucy Bartholomew was director, Marjorie Flint was prima donna, and May Murray, as well as Florence Snye, were to take the leading parts. Margaret Renison gave a solo at the closing of the program. As soon as the crowd began to disperse I hurried out directly behind the girl and followed her until she reached Seaside Cottage number 7. As she was about to enter she turned around and evidently realized I was following her; I decided she remembered having seen me at the concert. Page eighty-nine Then I returned to the hotel to meet my colleague. At the door of the dining room we were met by the headwaiter, Robart. He seated us at a table and called a girl, whom we recognized as Maude Durgan, to serve us. We were very much pleased because her attitude showed her enjoyment at serving. In the reception room we were entertained with a selection. My Darling Alma Gray, by Doris Honsinger, accompanied by Frances Wilcolt. Finding it was time for us to leave and having decided to ride, we observed that there were Morfords than any other kind of car. We selected one driven by R. Baker, the only taxi-woman in the place. As we arrived Down(s) town we again separated, stationing ourselves on different corners. Having seen the girl appear and head toward Ocean Avenue my colleague telephoned me to meet her there. We followed the girl and found, just as we had suspected, that she was headed for a moving picture house accompanied by Wallace. We observed him selecting Nichols for the girl at the ticket w indow, whom we recognized as Jennie Tannenbaum. A very bashful but attractive girl, Helen Donnelly by name, ushered them to seats and we followed close behind. The violinist, Clarence Gadway, was imitating the song of a Martin on his violin. The picture was Rovelle and her Bowe, Lewis. The cast of characters showed Lucille Bonner as Rovelle ' s governess. Leaving the theatre that night we followed them to a Chinese restaurant, the proprietress of which was Helen Hawk ins. While there we noticed two ladies enter and inquire for work by the Day, and as they turned to leave we recognized the Misses Gonyea and Finnessey. When we saw Wallace tip Miss Gebo and close the door behind Florence and himself, we made haste to leave, and followed them back to the cottage. Upon arriving at the hotel we found that we had neglected to Locke our room door. The following morning we reported to headquarters that Miss MacKenzie disobeyed the Non-Movie Law. She was immediately taken into custody and Mary Harvey and Mildred Gordon were summoned as witnesses. Nothing of value could be learned from Mildred ' s testimony, but after Mary Harvey had been cross-examined, and my colleague had testified, conditions changed and upon the return of the jury she was pronounced guilty of disobeying the Non-Movie Act, and when Judge Amsden pronounced the sentence Miss MacKenzie learned that she could not attend any more evening affairs and entertainments until after the end of June. ALL SENIORS MUST OBEY THIS LAW. Howes it Hit(z) you? Page ninety Junior Class Song— 1 91 9 Words and Music by Hazel J.

(No matter who the teacher, the question, or the class) ; Rut trusting in yourself would make an answer, That by your bluffing would be sure to pass? If you can study, and not give way to grinding, Yet learn — and not make that your aim, Then meet with pupil teachers who know nothing, Rut take upon y ourself the blame. If you have cast aside your books to listen To essays, such as we have heard. And clapped and smiled when they were finished, And never even mentioned, Mow absurd. If you can smile and not give way to giggling, When jokes from teachers seem to be your lot ; But bear it all — and go on smiling. Whether the joke is clear to you or not. If you have cheated and were caught in cheating. And lying, but were caught in lies ; Yet by your bluffing came out safely And had not seemed too stupid nor too wise. Page ninety-two If you have filled cacli and every minute With sixty seconds ' worth of good hard work, And happened once to get a lesson wrongly. .And then was called by all — a common shirk. Rut went on bravely, striving to do better. Doing all and more than you should do : Then yours is the school and everything that ' s in it, And what is more — WE tip our hats to you. H fofeess ¥ Mr. Todd — How many of you has your Shorthand? Miss Kaufman (transcribing) — Dear (fussed), My Dear (more fussed), My Dear Madam (still more fussed), Dear. Mr. Todd— Yes, dear. (We did not know you were so affectionate, Mr. Todd). At Social Dancing (Mr. Whalen dancing with Miss Gilliland suddenly trips and almost falls.) Lucille seizes him tightly about the waist and saves him from falling, but quickly said, Pardon me, John, I did not mean to hold you tight. We doubt it, Miss Gilliland. If you have for your escort a prof, And silly girls giggle and cough : Just cast down your eye, Look modest and shy, Not stuck up — and they ' ll soon cease to scoff. What do we hear in bookkeeping? Nothing but the rattle of paper; And now whom do we hear speaking? Why, Mr. Correll our instructor. By whom is this noise being made, And what is our teacher saying? This noise is being made By our boy, namely. Johnnie Whalen. Mr. Correll is considerate When he tells John what he will do, Which is. he will buy him a rattle When his typewriter paper is all used. Page ninety-four First Senior — How do you spell ' relieved? ' Second Senior— U-S when we get our diplomas. N 0TICE A poverty party to be given in honor of Dr. Kitchell next Thursday at EIGHT P. M. Miss Gilliland— Say, Kate, you know it doesn ' t take very much wisdom to be a good dancer? Miss Baxter— Well. Lou, if that ' s the case why aren ' t you one? A Junior Quartette Four Juniors sit silent at table. And scarcely lift an eye; Then interchange a single glance, And begin, all four, to cry. The boarding-house keeper wonders ; But the Seniors know full well The after-symptoms of a test By Inquisitor Correll ! Mr. Correll— Those are very good L ' s, Miss Baxter. Katherine— You made them. Mr. Correll — Well, — they arc not so good. Dr. Kitchell to Miss Baker, who is striving to reach the top of the black- board — Marion, if you had grown when you were young you could reach now. Marion — Well, I ' m young yet. Scene : In the Movies. Time: Saturday afternoon. Mr. Correll on entering the theatre evidently found it very dark and taking his seat, sat on a young lady ' s lap. The young lady rather provoked said, One seat over, please, this seat is paid for. At this Mr. Correll took his place one seat over and apologized by saying, I beg your pardon, I guess I almost sat on you. To this the young lady answered in this manner, ALMOST! Page ninety- five Dr. Kitchell — Miss Baxter, why did you say pine boards were used in floors? Miss Baxter — Because you can wax them. Dr. Kitchell — Why are they waxed? Miss Baxter (thinking of previous dances says in an undertone) — For dancing purposes of course. John Whalcn ' s motto — Remember the Maine (ard). Sign seen in a down town store window. Home sick will open tomorrow. For Girls Only — • [00[ p|I10A not M3U J 3A ' 3JR sA oq 3AIJlsmblII A OJ-{ Discouraging We scrape and scrub and polish till we ' re pretty nearly killed, And think each plate and platter clean as water twice-distilled; Then hear the scornful verdict, while we tremble in our shoes: These Dishes are Unfit for Any One to Use! Page ninety-six Posing fob the Faculty Picture You grouchy old bachelor, she said, No wonder you never were wed ! That scowl and that stoop Will queer the whole group ; Look pleasant, and hold up your head I Mr. Shallies — And you say you Love your new spring hat? Miss Healey — I certainly do! Mr. S. — Then your hat and your young man go in the same class? Dr. Kitchell (seeing M. MacD. coming down the hall with John Whalen) — Mae, I want you to let John alone, he has enough girls already. Mae — Oh! there ' s always room for one more, isn t there? John — There! there is a twentieth century girl. Dr. Kitchell, quite overcome, starts down the hall slowly mumbling in an undertone about these girls. John — Now, Dr. Kitchell, don ' t go away angry, I ' d like to have seen you seventy-five years ago. Visitor — What is the noise in the red brick building? I can ' t stand it. Student — Oh ! That ' s only Mr. Correll carrying on a recitation. If you ' d know how a frog looks Asleep in the sun. Glance up from your song-books When the morning ' s half done. Principal (interviewing a prospective teacher) — Do you drink? Applicant for job — Thank you, sir, I ' ll have a small one. He who has a thousand friends Has not a friend to spare, And be who has one enemy, Will meet him everywhere. Page ninety-seven John Whalcn — You look sweet enough to eat. Senior— ! do eat. Where shall we go? Ann Rowles (after she had failed to answer a question, with comment of Mr. Correll) — Well! I ' m not as green as I look. Mr. Correll — That wouldn ' t be possible. I f you would know what sort of a girl Ada Cameron is, travel on the D. H. a while with her. She is undiscriminating in the remarks she makes, especially about commercial travelers. (Junior talking to a Senior over the telephone.) Senior — Are we going to wear our colors Monday, I couldn ' t go to class meeting yesterday? Junior — Oh! No! Not until next Saturday. You know we changed them to red, white and blue ' cause some of those Seniors found out what they were. Senior — Oh! Did we? Well, 1 like those better anyhow, they are more patriotic and then we ' ll fool those Seniors. Do You Suppose They Will Ever Grow Up???????? Preparedness When tlie teacher implies, in his speech. One ' s a lemon in class, and no peach, The girl with a steady Has her answer all ready, 1 don ' t intend ever to teach. How did you know that Charlie Robart was a teacher? Didn ' t you see me look into his eyes? Yes, but even so — Well. I could see his pupils. Student to John Crowley — You would be a good dancer but for two things. John— What are they? Student— Your feet. Page ninety-eight Mary had a little lamb, That had a facile leg. It followed her to school one day, And now it ' s writing Gregg. The Hardening Process Thin, dainty slippers and filmy hose Are for winter wear, when it freezes and snows; But at ninety-live in the shade or worse, If you ' re not a back-number, pile on the furs. J. Prime (coming into study hall all but convulsed with laughter). M. Murray — What ' s the matter, Jane? J. — Got a zero in Geography. M. M. — You seem alarmed. J. P.— Well, it ' s better than nothing. Then this. asked dejected John, is absolutely final? Quite, was Dorothy ' s reply. Shall 1 return your letters, John? Yes, please, answered poor John, there ' s some good material in them that I can use again. Senior — May 1 have some bread. Francis Bush (picking up a slice and handing it to her with a gracious smile) — Certainly. Senior — Wouldn ' t a plate be a convenience? Senior — I wish to question you about a tragedy. Mr. Sinclair— Yes ? Senior — What is my grade? Dad — Oh, say, who was here to see you last night ? Mildred S. — Only Catharine, father. Dad — Well, tell Catharine she left her pipe on the piano. Page ninety-nine Miss Garrity — What are the two most popular pieces in school? Miss Bonner — Long Boy (Mr. Correll) and Huckleberry Finn (Dr. Henshaw). We ' ve seen ships without their rudders, We ' ve seen oysters without pearls ; One thing we ne ' er expect to see, is John Crowley without a girl. Mr. Thompson (to Ethel Comins, after she has put a balance sheet on the board) — Any objections to a dale, Miss Comins? Mr. Todd — What did you have the most trouble with today, Miss Wallace? Adeline — That word ' a-courtin ' . Mr. Todd — Yes, that always bothered me, too. A learned phool is one who has read everything, and simply remembers what he has read. — Josh Billings. To bring up a child in the way he should go. travel that way yourself once in a while. — Josh Billings. Mr. Todd — Seeing Miss Bowc fall in going up stairs says, Has you hurl yourself, Miss Bowe? Miss Bowe — No, but what it means — Mr. Todd— What does it mean? Miss Bowe (a sigh) — Seven years more. ( Lueile just before vacation due to the Flu ). A Junior — Have you heard what our lessons are to be during vacation? Lucille — Yes, Mr. Todd said to finish Gregg and start Pitman. Mr. Correll said to journalize and post the whole book, and if you have time work on arithmetic. Page one hundred Daisy — Adah, do you suppose you could stretch these shoes ? Adah — Yes, if I could get my feet inside of them. Gladys Benedict — I ' ve been carrying the baby around the floor for a week back. Hilda — Pshaw! That ' s no remedy, what you want is a porous plaster. What ' s the difference between the mumps and the measles? Why, in the mumps you shut up, and with the measles you break out. Senior — My isn ' t the moon almost perfect? Junior — Yes. All it lacks is a uniform. First Senior — Do you know how long a person can live without brains? Second Senior — No, I don ' t know, but perhaps I can figure it out, How old are you? Page one hundred and one Sadie Kauffman Lucille Gilliland- off different things. i — What is Class Day?

When students flunk out penmanship. In bookkeeping have no brains; He gives them each a re-exam And flunks them out again. Senior— I would take you to the vaudeville, but I know you would be un- comfortable. Junior — How is that ? Senior — You know the Government now puts tax on the seats. Sentiments of the Class of 1919 Smile Build for yourself a strong box, Fashion each part with care ; Fit it with hasp and padlock, Put all your troubles there. Hide therein all your failures, And each bitter cup you quaff ; Lock all heartaches within it, Then — Sit on the lid and laugh. Tell no one of its contents, Never its secrets share ; Drop in your cares and your worries, Keep them forever there. Hide them from sight so completely, The world will never dream half ; Fasten the top down securely, Then — Sit on the lid and laugh. Page one hundred and two For Sale — Beautiful Carriages. Apply to — Ethel Comins, Doris Honsinger and Hilda Nichols. E. Comins (in typewriting room) — I ' m awfully nervous. Maud Durgan — What is the matter? E. Comins — Oh, my feet are so far away from my head they bother me. To Midyears — It ' s nothing against you to fall down flat, But to lie there — that ' s disgrace. Abridged Dictionarv Bluffing — The end gained by a normal education — A quality unknown to Juniors, but inherent in Seniors. Commencement — The awakening of the dead. Examinations — What Sherman said war was — Another term for revenge — Synonymous with Flunk. Faculty — A body of well-meaning souls eking out an existence by increasing their profession. A dried collection. A term of endearment supposed to be de- rived from the Indo-Iranian Meadian, face beloved Cultyic, by students. I fence the Happy Faculty. Juniors — A small body of mind entirely surrounded by matter. Midyears— An oasis of intellectual activity when the sporty do their working and the grinds are at their best. Orals — Dr. Henshaw ' s delight. Question — To the Prof, a form of discourse for concealing ignorance. To the Student, a form of bluffing. Senior — A finished product. Study— A vicious habit to which Juniors are commonly addicted. First Senior— What does ' Anatomy ' means? suddenly transformed into squirrels? Second Senior — There would be one less nut in the world. Page one hundred and three While I. Mae ' s father was in Florida she had to milk the cow and these are words that were heard for days : My Pa has gone away ; I wish he would come home ! I want my dear Papa to stay Where 1 can see him every day! Ma! when will Pa come home? First Senior — What does •Anatomy ' mean? Second Senior — Isn ' t it about one ' s bones and muscles, and lungs, and so on ? First Senior— ! thought it meant what you sit down on ! Page one hundred and four The Melting Pot Professor — Where is it you ' re going to teach? M. S. A. — Babylon, Long Island. Professor— So you ' re going down with the Medes and Persians, aren ' t you? M. S. A. (seriously) — Are there really many foreigners there? Dr. Kitchell — Miss Denjpsey, were you out last night? Miss Dempsey — N-o-o-O. Dr. Kitchell— Miss Dempsey, take the third problem. Miss Dempsey— There are twelve feet in one inch, therefore in thirty-six inches there are three feet. Mr. Todd (in shorthand class)— All you that are absent today bring excuses not later than tomorrow. Mr. Todd— Miss Stewart, what two kinds of strokes do we h Pitman ? Miss Stewart — Continuants and Explos ives. Mr. Todd — I wish they were explosives. Most of us know what is meant by the bicycle-face ; but the bicycle-face in the palmiest days of bicycling is not to be compared wtih the face of the learner practicing the touch-method of typewriting. A roomful of young men and women, each sitting with head unmoved, eyes wide-open and fixed on infinite distance, attention divided between verbal repetition of the words to be typed and consciousness of the dire results of a single glance at the keyboard, is a sight to be long remembered. In the words so often appearing in the sales-lists of metro- politan dealers in second-hand Flivvers, It must be seen to be appreciated ! Hopes Held Out to Us The diploma you ' re toiling for here, Will have little cash-value. I fear; But round out your knowledge With three years in college, And you may earn eight hundred a year! Page one hundred and five Marjorie— I wish Fred would hurry up. Julia — I don ' t think he is coming tonight. Marjorie— Dear me. I did want that hox of candy so badly. A Senior ' s Meditations That course in Home Making, said she, Sounds a little-bit-all-right to me ; And thought, with a grin, , Does the college throw in, A Hubby with the degree ? Miss Prime— Why is it that journalists are so partial to violets and may- flowers? Buffalo seems to be a very attractive name to Hilda Nichols. Dr. Kitchell, who is talking about a bush being in bloom said — Well, Miss Bush, I do expect to see a Bush in orange blossoms sometime. Is he right Frances? On With the Dance! Time— About 10.00 P. M. Place— Administration building, Plattsburgh Barracks. Scene— Victory Ball. Present — Most of Plattsburgh and surrounding towns. Principals— I. Mae MacDowell, Brookings Tuttle, Louise Lewis, Prof. Correll, a Judge and his Wife in close proximity. Act I The Judge approaches: Judge— Good evening, Brookings, how are you? Have not seen you in a long time. How have you been? Brookings— Why, good evening. Judge, so glad to see you. How is your good health? Page one hundred and six Judge — Fine, never felt better. By the way, who is the young lady with you? May I have the pleasure? Brookings — 1 beg your pardon, Judge. Miss MacDowell, allow me to present Judge . Mae — Judge, this is surely a great pleasure, most happy to make your acquaintance, Judge- I am delighted to know you. You live in Plattsburgh? Seems to me I should have known you for some time. Mae — No doubt we have met before, if we haven ' t we surely should have. Judge — I say so too. By the way, I heard you sing in the M. E. Church, Easter Sunday. Mae — Yes, I sang a terrible Aria. Judge — I liked it very much. That is a great favorite of mine. I do not know when I have heard it rendered so well. You sang it with such a wild air. Mae — Oh! Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed it. That is just too sweet of you for anything. Judge retires to his wife ' s side. Short intermission follows. Judge approaches again. Judge — My wife thinks I did not pay you very much of a compliment, but I meant it to be, and it was, I assure you. Mae — I know it was, I never was paid such a perfectly lovely compliment. Judge— I am a great student of nature and I know all the songs of the birds. Knowing this, you will appreciate the compliment. I just love to hear birds sing. Mae— I surely appreciated your compliment from the first, but it means so much more to me now. Judge. What birds are you most fond of hearing sing? - ' Judge — Blue Jays by day and Screech Owls by night. Mae — Come Brookings, On with the dance.
