In appreciation of his inspiring scholarship and as an expression of our universal confidence in him, we dedicate this hook to Professor Guy Wheeler Shallies, whose sincere interest in all of us has helped to make this and all other volumes of The Cardinal a success. Guy Wheeler Shallies, A. M. Professor Guy W heeler Shallies was horn at San- dusky, New York. After attending the village school he entered the High School at Arcade from which he was graduated and then entered the State Normal School at Buffalo, completing the CRBsical Course. The next four years were spent in The University of Chicago from which he received the A. B. degree. After spending one year in the study of English in the Graduate School of Yale University he returned to the Graduate School of the University of Chicago from which he received the A. M. degree in Education. Professor Shallies began his teaching in a country village school. From 1897-1904 he taught English and Modern Languages in preparatory schools in Missouri and in Connecticut. In 1905 he came to the State Normal School as Head of the Department of English, Foreword The Cardinal Staff of 1920 takes great pleasure in presenting this book to our institution and to its friends. Much of the work contained in this volume we would have better. Whatever of good you find, we hope you will enjoy and whatever is imperfect we hope you will overlook. May you read these pages with pleasure now, and in the years to come may they recall the happy days in class room and corridor. The Board of Editors. V The Board of Editors John J.

But still so close, we feel this land So sure we are that these same hearts are true. That when in waking dreams there comes a call That sets the thread of memory aglow : We know that just by stretching out the hand In written word of love, or book, or flower, The waiting hand will clasp our own once more. Across the silence, in the same old way. Page sixteen Class Officers John J. Whalen ,, ■, ,, 1 ' resident Hazel J. Ayres r n -j _ J Vice-President IJOKOTIIY M. 1. YNARD c „ • secretary Gladys E.

Page seventeen Class Poem, 1920 Farewell, proud Normal Halls, Bright o ' er thy vine-clad walls The day of parting dawns. These scenes so fair of hue. Soon must pass from view As from thy velvet lawns The sunlight fades. Long shalt thou proudly stand ith look of stern command, When we are far away. Friends perish from our view, Old yieldeth unto new, Night passeth into day, Thou shalt endure. Within thy portals wide. Wisdom and truth abide, I o light our future way. Here art her charm reveals ; Culture and high ideals Mingle their proud array To exalt our lives. Without, thy lawns are fair, With flowers here and thei r. And many lofty trees; While in the sun ' s bright rays, The fountain laughs and plays And (ills the summer breeze With silver spray. Now sinks the sun to rest Into the golden west. This glance must be our last. Ever in memory Cherished thy name shall be. But time is flying fast, So now farewell ! Josei-hine Stewart. Page nineteen -Hazel Hazel J. Aykes, Morrisonville, N. Y.

A year has passed since blythely in our midst We saw her, with a face surpassing fair, Like spring, she seemed a child of sunny grace, With misty eyes and softly waving hair. But even as the hues of sunset fade Among the evening shadows in the west, The joyous laughter faded from her eyes As with a smile, she entered into rest. Tho far and wide, search for her as we will. We nevermore may look upon her face, Within our heart her memory lingers still To charm us with its purity and grace. Josephine Stewart. Page thirty-three Class History BRIEF FOR PROSECUTION It is my duty to present to the court and to urge for their consideration the charges against the class of 1920. The record of each student has been carefully investigated and as a result it has come to light that the class of 1920 has failed to meet the standard as set forth by the faculty. Therefore it is deemed advisable that judgment be rendered in accordance with the complaint. I call attention, Your Honor, to the fact that too many have gone dance crazy. Ann Dempsey, Mary Thompson and Kate Koerber ' s attendance at the K of C dances has led to too many conferences during school hours between them and the Messrs. Whalen, McQuillan and Tabor. W orse than the dances are the distracting movies. Mary Parrotte, Katherine Coffey, Marion Baker, Stella Hildreth. Ruth Fifieki; Flora Davison and twin sister, Eunice Bradley are the chief victims. Do they know who Aristotle is? Of course not. But Wallace Reid, Earle Williams and Eugene O ' Brien are won- derful movie actors. Next. I must refer, Your Honor, to Joe Stewart, whom we think will make a very poor teacher considering the fact that she will want to sit down all the time; to John Crowley, that indifferent young man who is so confident of his success; to Mary Boylan. an everlasting little chatterbox; and surely you would not expose Nannie Howard and Sylvia Bourassa to the cold world until they have become a little more plump. Along with these are Bertha rhoebe Stevenson who has to have a tete-a-tete every morning with Mr. Thompson before Accounting class; Ruth Scribner, who never studies ; Catharine Sancomb. who should be a telephone girl so she could talk all the time to Chateaugay : Ann Rowles and Adah Brown, who live where Mr. Todd used to teach. Of course my adversary will say that it is only proper that students have recreation and relaxation from their work. 1 agree with her. But when it comes to low marks and utter ignorance of a subject there is something wrong. However, she is so closely allied with our Triple Entente, consisting of Kate Weir, Hazel Ayers and Gladys McCarthy, that she doubtlessly will close her ears to all reason and justice and similarly endeavor to misguide others of authority. Page thirty-four But pray, Your Honor, look upon the terrible three: Catharine Navin. Dorothy Maynard and Grace Sheehan. It is really pitiful the way the teachers picked on them this year. Even Gertrude Powers had to agree to the faculty ' s proposals a great many times. Then there is Hazel Parmeter who went home every time a storm was predicted so she could miss all the next week of school. Elizabeth O ' Connell and Kathryn Tobin also helped to keep the trains running this winter. Would it be possible they were looking up positions? I can hardly believe it. Misses Finnessy, Gebo, Giles, Harvey, and Stafford, our mid-year graduates. I don ' t know very much about, except that they left a bad record. Percy Colburn was also one of our mid-year graduates. Percy is now in Washington having turned down several good positions in order to go there. Most important of all. worthy Judge, I call your attention to our three vamps : Sadie Kauffman, Esther Carl and Mildred Nutter and not only that but I charge them with stealing the charms from May Norcross, Gertrude and Gladys Benedict. Could Your Honor think of anything worse than someone accusing another person of not having any sense of beauty? You couldn ' t. Well such a thing happened in Pittsburgh Normal School, Margaret Hcaly being the accuser and John Whalen the accused. Katherine Thompson ' s sentence, 1 think everyone will agree, should be to teach a year at the expiration of which time, I think she could manage Donald much better because of the experience along that line. Daisy Cisco is not satisfied witih her lot at all but wants to see more (Sey- mour) of the world. Olive Lundy and Hazel Ay res, with their years of experience should be models for the rest of us. But are they? Emphatically no ! They have become so vain and frivolous since coming to Normal that I shudder for their pupils next year. But lastly, I must speak of the worst, the rude unprincipled Elsa Parks. She could never come into the Accounting room quietly but would fall in and attempt to tip over all the desks. Therefore, Your Honor, since the class of 1920. because of some serious complaint has failed to meet the requirements of a graduating class, may it please the court to demand that the class of 1920 be ordered to step down from this platform and spend at least another year within the wall of Plattsburgh Normal School. Julia A. Stieehax. Page thirty- five Class Prophecy Your Honor, Members of the Faculty of the Senior Class and of the Junior Class: It lias been my great privilege to be chosen as Prophet for the Class of 1920; and to defend any unjust criticisms which my adversary may bring upon it. As I have not been gifted with any superhuman power to foretell the future or to jump ahead a decade or two, I can only foretell the future by knowing the past of each. Having been a guest in this institution for the past two years and having had nothing to do, I have had the opportunity of watching the other in- mates about me. From their conduct I have been able to judge what each will become — and what will come and must come to each shall come well. A person ' s future should not be judged by his past : therefore I have come to the conclusion that each will attain a future that You, my listeners, least expect him to attain. For instance, consider the Benedicts, two in number. You will instantly say. Oh, yes, old maids— surely I But here I must disagree with you. Do you think that after they leave this school and start out on their life work they will be as conscientious and demure as they have been here? Never! Both will go on the stage and I doubt whether the Zieglield Midnight Follies will be complete without them. It always turns out that way in life ! The Misses Davison, Carl, Boylan and Bradley whom you remember were as good examples of angels as one would wish to find, shall as they grow older com- bine their land, labor, and capital, buy a country home and take boarders. Men only — object Matrimony ! I will take Marion Baker as the next example. Picture her. if you can, as one of the best dancers New York has to offer. She will be the originator of several of the latest steps in dancing, especially one called the Gregg Hop. If the Navin. Howard, Ayres Concert Co. visit your town, drop in and sec them. Any person who ever had a friend who ever saw them will be presented with a complimentary ticket. Thus any of you present will be given a box seat — provided no one cares to buy it. When the newsboy hollers Fxtra. extra, Miss O ' Connell takes another stand for women ' s rights — heated debate in the Senate. Hon. John Crowley almost defeated — don ' t bother about it ; the same thing happened here last year. Mr. Crowley stands his ground as well as be can but poor John always went down when a woman ' s wrath descended upon him. The paper which takes the side of Miss O ' Connell is the Brown Lundy. Adah and Olive have managed to stick together all these years despite the fact that they both belong to the same Sorority. Page thirty-six The Misses Fifield. Hildreth. Tobin and Parmeter who are so fond of this school that they cannot bear to leave it, managed to secure positions here. Ruth and Stella prepare students for the mid-year and June dances. If you can ' t learn after we teach you. stay at home, is their motto. (Most of the pupils stay at home.) Miss Tobin has succeeded Miss O ' Brien because she took such an interest in rostrum work. Miss Parmeter becomes head janitress because of her efforts to make the Agonian room look neat. There can be no doubt in my mind and none in yours but that Daisy Cisco will step into the shoes of her future Mother-in-Law. A boarding house for Normal students will be her lot. Board here, and you ' ll see more than you can eat. Katherine Coffey will of course occupy Mr. Todd ' s place when he leaves. She is admirably fitted for the position— provided the morality of teachers does not become too low. The Misses M. Thompson, (i. McCarthy. K. Koerber and A. Dempsey will do Evangelistic work. I see the looks of surprise on all your faces. Well ' tis true. They will give talks on the Anti-Sun day-Evening-Auto-Rides and its Effects on Students. Their experience along this line will make them well fitted for the position. Miss Katherine Thompson as she is now known will without a doubt live in that cute little flat on Brinkerhoff St. Farther down the street resides a modiste of great prominence; being no other than Mag Healey. ( Dressmaking at all hours) Speaking of distinguished people, I must not forget Madam Kauffmann, who is none other than our Sadye (spelt with a y ). She has been very expert in dressing the hair having used all her spare moments in Normal to qualify her for this position. Everyone well knows that Anna Rowles and Ruth Scribner will take the C. P. A. examination and will become such expert accountants that even Mr. Thompson will seek their advice on important questions. Gertie Powers and Mac Norcross will try their best to make the town of Cadyville into a city. Very influential will they be in seeing that there is a dance every week and that all the young men in and about the city will be present. You ' d be surprised to learn that Kate Weir— Kate the worker, the indus- trious and law-abiding Kate— believes in the get-rich-quick plan. She keeps a dandy little place where five hundred is taught to all who care to learn and then always wins everything when they do learn. ( Don ' t mention this to the Clayburg police please.) For Grace Sheehan and Dorothy Maynard, I can see nothing for them to do but to take up the art of delivery. No, I am not referring to a position as post- man but in speaking. They were so shy— so timid and one could scarcely under- stand a word they said when they read their essay. My friends, do you not agree with me? Page thirty-seven As Dr. Henshaw ' s work becomes more and more complex for him it will be necessary for him to have an assistant in Psychology. I ask you, who is better qualified than Mary Parotte? Her great admiration for the subject has made her better fitted for the position than any one I could suggest. There can be no doubt in any of your minds but that Josephine Stewart will attain the greatest heights of any of us. Her great fascination for writing (here you will become disappointed for I mean penmanship) will lead her into the shoes of Mr. Correll. Indeed a height like that is one that none of us dare hope to reach ! ! I am pleased to announce that like every class of any importance, we can boast of one minister among us. When you enter any of the largest churches in Morrisonville, you ' ll be surprised to hear the impressive, mighty sermons which Percival William Mead Colburn delivers to his congregation. (I sincerely hope that so far none of you think I am losing my mind.) Elsa Parks, I am surprised to remark, will become a court stenographer. You will remember she always had a soft spot for all attorneys. Bertha Phebe Stevenson becomes, of course, Head of the Commercial Depart- ment of Education in New York State. However, she will not forget to ask the advice of all the Faculty just as she used to do when anything in the least dis- turbed her. Mildred Nutter and Catherine Sancomb, who were so quiet in the good old days, become rather boisterous in trying to obtain equal rights among the future students of P. S. N. S. They believe there is no such word as drag. For Finnessy, Harvey, Gebo, Stafford and Giles I am sorry to announce that owing to the fact that I did not know them a sufficient length of time to foretell their future as correctly as I have the others, I can only give them a piece of ad- vice. If they settle down to the life of good old school teachers, their life will be above reproach and they will have nothing to do but gossip about their more unfortunate classmates. My adversary, knowing a good thing when she hears it but who dwells a little too much upon the faults of others, will be a critic reporter for all the best plays in New York. And may you pardon me. Your Honor — to you who have listened with the utmost politeness to the Defense of the Class of 1920 and who have carried this class through its two long years at Normal, you who have won the esteem of the Faculty by some unknown way — for you I can only say, Think akcays before you speak, look always before you leap. And I do charge you all that before you utter a word of criticism upon this Defense remember the old, old saying: Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne ' er was, nor is, nor er ' e will be, A. L. G. Page thirty-eight Senior Class Song Words and Music BY Hazel J. Aykes Three cheers for the Class One-Nine-Two-O, And farewell, dear Juniors — Here ' s hoping you ' ll grow. Our colors are floated through class room and hall, Beneath them forever, all Juniors must fall. Our name down through History shall honor this day ; Alma Mater ' s precepts shall guide us alway. Chorus Then wake our glad song, while pleasures throng this happy day, May memories ne ' er grow old — nor hearts grow cold — Hound with friendship ' s hands of gold. And all through Life ' s way, Class Nineteen-Twenty, To us the honors strong helong ; Through Trials to Triumph, we ' ll sing our song. All hail to the Class of Seniors true, To the Class of victory, The Red, White and Blue. Fond memories of P. S. N. S. shall always Bring renewed the joy and gladness of our own school days. Commencement is with us and each his course must steer ; Let us pledge a life of Service and of Love throughout each year. Page thirty-nine Class Will Having been examined by Dr. Hensbaw, Dr. Kitcbcll and the others whose task it is to examine us, and having been pronounced as possessing perfect mental and physical health, WE, the CLASS of 1920 of the Pittsburgh State Normal School, do hereby make and present this our last Will and Testament in disposal of all property possessed by us. First : We present to our successors our class gift which stands in the hall and in whose gushing waters we hope they shall see nothing but pleasant visions of us. Second: We bequeath to the class of 1921 strength of mind to keep secret their colors and physical ability to keep their banner flying where they raise it. Third : We leave them muscle and wit to keep the next banner they steal. Fourth: To the boys of 1921 we leave glasses that they may distinguish skirts from trousers and not exhibit their fighting qualities on the ladies. Fifth : We give to the Faculty all the pleasure which they can get from con- versing about the students in secret at Faculty meetings. To Miss Hazel Caplan and Mr. Albert Desjardins we leave permission to sit in the same seat in chapel that they may converse without risk of being caught whispering across the aisle. To Miss Ruth Abrahamson. Miss Powers ' receipt on how to get slim. To Miss Genevieve Carey, Miss Stewart ' s stock of hair ribbons. To Miss Anna Lockwood, a few more hundreds in shorthand. To Miss Helena Smith, Conway for Porter instead of Myers. To Miss Frances Casey, a frame on which to do up her hair. To Mr. James O ' Connell, a bachelor ' s hall. To Miss Theresa Kelley, a little more dignity when she becomes a Senior. To Miss Ethel Mcrrihew, a free subscription to all the fashion magazines that she may continue to display the latest styles.

Page forty-six Charge to the Juniors Before we, Seniors, resumed our duties at the Pittsburgh State Normal School last September we had dreamed and pictured the Junior class which we knew would intrude upon our quiet halls. Juniors, we had pictured you as being intelligent, enthusiastic, ambitious and studious, possessing a spirit of initiative and independence. However dreams are usually the opposite and this was not an exception. Mortal mind cannot imagine such a crowd of children weeping for home, such a representation of laziness and stubborness, such a jumbled mass of suspi- cion and envy, such homely maids and exacting suitors as you were when you presented yourselves to us. Surely, we were justified in being discouraged when a blank face was turned upward to ours and the question asked, Where does ' such and such ' a class re- cite? We looked down on those pitiful faces and just could not refuse such a simple question. We realized from the very first the task which was before us and we set to work to do our duty. After we, Seniors, had a class meeting you realized that perhaps you should also and immediately proceeded to copy us. Juniors, do you remember how the halls rang that day as we sang our song? How the very tower echoed back our yells which crashed against the door behind which you sat quiet as mice hiding from a cat, and not even a squeak could we get in reply. The main things decided at that meeting were the election of officers and the choosing of class colors. Let us congratulate you on your selection of those colors, purple and gold. They are so original. They have been chosen in almost every school all over the country and moreover there are probably, still, bits of purple and gold crepe paper used by the previous Senior class which no doubt were suggestive to you. Again, let us congratulate you on your president Mr. Walsh McQuillan. He certainly appeared the oldest, most dignified, most experienced and therefore most able to lead such a crowd of vagabonds. You were proud of what you had accomplished in that first class meeting as was proved when the various members were so anxious to tell about it that they walked up to the Senior girls and told what had taken place without being ques- tioned in any way. The next day you showed your loyalty to your colors by passing them out. Page forty-seven down on the corner of the campus, and then when you appeared in the building if you saw a Senior near you, your hands closed over them to hide them from view. That same day the Seniors wore their class colors. How you stood and gazed on us and how surprised you were when you discovered our banner. You knew then that you must have one so you skipped school to go home and make one. You did not have money to buy new material and no merchant, in this town would give you credit, so you picked up this faded purple rag and sewed on it strips of yellow for gold. Aren ' t you ashamed of this banner? It shows carelessness and thoughtlessness. How clever you thought you were when you captured our banner. We knew that ours was enhancing in its beauty and glory but we had no idea that you would want to take it and keep it. However, such proved to be the case, for, while the Seniors were all busy with classes and it hung alone in its splendor in the study hall you boys sneaked in and pulled it down, but even then you dis- graceful representatives of men dared not keep it upon your person so handed it over to one of your girls to carry. Did you think we, Seniors, were frightened at your large number and would let you walk away with our banner in your pocket? You were soon undeceived for a group of six Senior girls met fifty Junior girls and nine Junior boys in the hall at the close of the day ' s session and brushing all aside like flies, soon had the banner in our possession again. And then what did you boys do but, like howling wolves after their prey, attempt to tear it from our hands. Once more you found us invincible. Again and again your desire to imitate has been shown by your calling a class meeting each time a Senior meeting was held and not knowing how to con- duct a meeting you lowered yourselves to eavedrop at our door. Do you appreciate what a great help we were to you in your numerous tests, what a great failure you would have been had we not been so generous in help- ing you? Just think of Mid-Years when we were not present, how many of you were conditioned, or passed only by the narrowest of margins. We do believe that you did finally realize your barbaric state as is shown by our St. Patrick ' s Day party, for when we decorated the hall in green in honor of the occasion you appeared so self-conscious that you thought it was to represent your greenness. And then again you showed your high regard for us by fearing to approach the building except in a body. And last of all let us advise you not to leave part of your essay at home the day you go on the rostrum. Juniors, assimilate this bit of advice together with what we have given you during the previous year and you may be able to fill, however unworthily, your greatest ambition, and take our place as Seniors. Catherine M. Weir. Page forty-eight Class Oration THE WORLD AT THE CROSS-ROADS The greatest tragedy that has come to all the people of this age — a tragedy which far surpasses the World War is the failure of the countries at large and the failure of men of trust and influence to realize that a new world is upon us and that the nineteenth century ideals and methods will not solve the problems that are pressing for adjustment — -problems that seem to have been born out of the war and yet that were engendered by the condition that has been slowly develop- ing for more than a generation. If we trace this breakdown in chaotic strife back to its cause we shall lind a failure to provide for the future. Our material civilization had come to depend to an extent , which few realize, upon far-sighted provision for future needs on the part of industrial and technical leaders. Tele- phone companies studied the needs of communities fifteen years in advance and Went there ready with the capacity when the need arose. The more progressive railroads had buildings and improvmcnt plans often ten years in advance. Every business enterprise with far-seeing leadership looks to the future but the public blandly accepts instant telephone communication and a luxuriously appointed express train running on the minute as its natural rights like air and sunshine. But what checked this provision for the future? The answer comes readily. The unheralded World War. It absorbed material and labor until they became scarce, almost unobtainable. New construction became prohibitive in price and skilled mechanics to operate new machinery were put on ships and munitions instead. The effect was not felt at once but the world knows it now just as it knows a higher price for wool does not effect the buyer of a suit of clothes until after it has passed through a manufacturing process occupying months. This is now the world at the crossroads, the parting of the ways. It is like a ship that has lost not its steering gear but its captain and its pilot and is drifting on the high seas of doubt with no provision for the future. The world is looking to America. Out of this country must arise a philoso- pher and a student of mankind — a publicist that shall rise as Lincoln arose, even out of obscurity — to point out the real issues about which we must think if we would emerge. Now. only and nothing less than an equivalent to the Lincoln- Douglas debates shall bring out the actualities of the new issues that must be settled in such form as to be helpful to the people who must come to some con- clusion about something in the not distant future. Wanting this, the public mind Pa ye forty -nine is not informed as to concrete facts. The issues therefore are confused and pub- lic opinion is shattered and unformed because it does not possess sufficient ma- terial that is reliable and pertinent for forming definite issues about which it may crystallize. ll was just so with America in the middle of the last century. There was arising an ugly issue of sinister proportions. Sometimes it appeared under the head of states ' rights ; sometimes under the head of slavery. Nobody knew quite what the trouble was but everybody was afraid of it — most of all the pub- licists who had political ambitions. Politics and recognized political leaders have always failed when any country or people came to the parting of the ways regarding any new or fundamental issue. It is a new world now or rather the same world at the turning point ready to enter upon a new era. And that means new men not old ones beyond the power of readjustment. From such shall our leaders come a man as resolute as Washington, as patient as Lincoln, as modern as Roosevelt, an American who understands, feels, knows the needs of America and America ' s vast people as they exist today, who understands Kuropcan condi- tions and can pilot the world with courage and ability to enforce new remedies through new channels — over the cross-roads. Margaret E. Healey. Page fifty Ivy Oration As Alma Mater opened her all-embracing arms to the youth of our country and throws them about the undergraduate body she has allowed us to go free to step across the threshold of our Normal School life, for we have completed her tasks. We have looked forward to this day with joy and sorrow. With joy that we are going forth to serve our country with bro ad and high ideals. With sor- row when we realize that our school days are over and we must part with friends, teachers, and classmates. Our last act as members of the Class of 1920 will be the planting of this ivy. We plant it with the desire that in time it will grow to be strong and capable of meeting the many burdens and difficulties which lie in its path. In the same manner do we as members of this class hope to strive upward confronting the perplexities on Life ' s long road to success. May this ivy flourish and grow as the years roll on and carry with it the spirit of the Class of 1920. Grace A. Sheehan. Page fifty-one President ' s Address Friends, Members of the Faculty, Classmates: A beautiful day has dawned for us and with it there is ushered in the two- fold feeling of joy and sorrow. Joy conies today in knowing that after two years we have completed our work and that we can lay down our hooks to take up the duties which we must begin tomorrow. They will lie different duties than we have ever known; they are duties of responsibility which we must meet alone. Here, our tasks have been made easy for two years. No matter how many difficulties arose it seemed some way or other that there was always one who smoothed the way. Tomorrow the days must change and ours must be the guiding hand that will make others ' tasks lighter as ours have been lightened here. But joy turns to sorrow when we think that tomorrow will find our class separated, that we have left the Pittsburgh Normal School, the Faculty and those who have been our friends, not in name alone but in spirit. Dr. Hawkins, and the Members of the Faculty, we have found in you those qualities which if we might but adopt them success would be ours. Words arc inadequate to express all we would, but permit me to say that you have been our truest friends whom we shall remember forever. Classmates — It has been a very great honor for me to represent you during the last two years. I have been so pleased that it is with great regret to-day that I lay down my duties as President of the Class of 1920. But in Life ' s .Mirror we see. • ' There arc loyal hearts, there are spirits brave There are souls that are pure and true ; Then give to the world the best you have And the best will come back to you. (iivc love, and love in your life will How, A strength in your utmost need : 1 lave faith, and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed. (iivc truth, and your gift will be paid in kind. And honor will honor meet ; And a smile that is sw eet will surely find A smile that is just as sweet. For life is the mirror of king and slave, ' Tis just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best you have. And the best will come back to you. John J. Whacen. I ' age fifty-two Autographs Page fifty-three Page fifty- four Salutatory T cachcrs. Fellow Students, Friends : We. the Senior Class, are today standing at the entrance of the world ' s stage whereon each is to play his part. Honoring us with your presence here, we fid that your interest ill our future is assured as it has been manifested in the past. During the two short years in which we have aspired to reach this goal, we have encountered many difficult problems and lasks hut by kind and patient guid- ance we have surmounted them all, and now we feel inspired by renewed strength and determination to push onward and upward. From today, the reality of Normal Days shall begin to shape itself into rosy memories and as we step out into the Life of the world we shall be confronted by the realties of vital problems. Opportunity is ours and success if we make it so. In our hands lies to shape and mould the America of tomorrow— to breathe the impulses and to instil the ideals which shall continue to permeate and to vitalize our Democracy. Americanization is cogent today and a word which concerns each of us. In its interpretation it means usefulness. In training the boys and girls who are soon to become the active citizens of this Republic, we must bear in mind that the duty of good citizenship lies in the path of daily life, in the motives, actions —and still greater, in the thoughts that give impulse, tone and harmony to this life. Large as the world is. and stupendous as are its questions, in its final analy- sis, it resolves itself into the individual character. A nation is only the individual in the mass, and the mass is only what the individual makes it. Therefore, in our profession, it is our duty as well as our great privilege to keep up the high standards of character which are the fundamental attributes of manhood and womanhood— kindliness, generosity, fairness, courage and justice. These are the corner stones of true Americanism. With hearts filled with gratitude, may our lives attest us worthy of the in- spiration and noble ideals of our training. As we go forth to serve our Country, let us remember that Man ' s highest office is Service and that the greatest force in the world, is Service impelled by Love. In behalf of the Class of 1920 permit me to extend to you a most cordial welcome. Hazei. J. AyRES. Page fifty-five Valedictory This, our Commencement Day, is the clay and hour which we have been anticipating for the past two years. It symbolizes the close of our work in one field and opens the gate to a far larger one. Though we do not know just what lies beyond this gate, we realize that we are just beginners in the school of life and not graduates. Today we are students, tomorrow we are teachers of others who may in turn take our places and stand like us to bid farewell as we do today. Dr. Hawkins and members of the faculty we cannot express to you our gratitude for your patient guidance and your interest. When our work seemed hardest and life darkest your kind words of encouragement helped us on our way. Though we cannot express today our appreciation, may our deeds and success in life prove what words cannot express. Classmates, though today brings to each of us a feeling of gladness, it brings one of sadness also— gladness that we are ready to enter our chosen field, sad- ness that we must part from our many friends and pleasant associations of the two years just past. Though we must part, perhaps never again to assemble, though the time has come to bid farewell to our Alma Mater, our Faculty, our Fellow Students. Friends and Classmates, may the memories of our work guide as we go. Gladys E. McCarthy. Page fifty-six To the Senior Girls To you each, American beauty rose, A long life and many beaux. May your life be free From care and sorrow ; And today ' s pint of luck be a quart tomorrow. Here are all the good wishes that we can remember, From January first to the last of December. From the Junior Fellows. Page fifty-seven Clionian History When the mind is tired, the brain worried by work, we should cast aside thoughts of self and seek rest and pleasure in the companionship of others and what is termed the lighter side of Life. During our Normal days we have found that it is not merely getting all the knowledge for ourselves, but in extending it to others and finding pleasure in so doing. The Clionian Fraternity symbolizes the lighter side of our school life. Founded in May 1899. for the purpose of bringing the girls together and extend- ing the social element in the school, it has carried this idea down to the present day. It would be difficult to narrate in such a brief space all that this chapter of the fraternity has accomplished during its twenty-one years, so merely the in- cidents of the past two years will be recorded here. With the entrance of the class of 1920 as Juniors in the Normal, we were at once made to feel as much at home as possible. Through the efforts of our Clionian Seniors all sorts of good times were prepared for us. Teas, house parties, movie parties and best of all pledge night were some of the good times we enjoyed. Although we took active part in the duties of the fraternity it was not until after the long looked-for initiation was over that we felt we were truly Clionians. During the year we helped our Senior sisters and tried to make our- selves ready for our next year at Normal. And then came June and the day of parting! Never shall we forget our regret at leaving our elder sisters who had been such a help and inspiration to us ! During the summer months we were all shocked to hear of the death of one of our most active members. Her loss was the only regret we had at coming back again as Senior Clios. Each one. by working a little harder for the frater- nity, tried to fill the gap she had left and welcomed the new pupils by entertain- ing them in various ways. A tea dansant held in the gymn was the first social event. Then followed movie trips, novelty house parties, picnics and hikes. One of the most unique events held, was the Japanese party in the fraternity room. There we all gathered as little Japanese boys and girls, played Japanese games, heard Japanese music and ale Japanese food. This was proclaimed by all. one of the most successful of our rush parties. One morning a large number of the Junior girls wore white and yellow bows. They were our new sisters. Page fifty-nine With their help we endeavored to raise money for furnishing our room. A card parly was given by the Alumni ; cake and candy sales were held ; chocolate hars were sold : and a lecture was given with our Agonian cousins. In May, the Grand Vice-President and Grand Secretary of the whole Clionian Fraternity with the Junior Delegate left for New Paltz to attend the annual Convocation. They returned with reports of the wonderful progress of the different chapters of the fraternity during the past year and the things which each chapter wished to accomplish in the future. Once more we near the end of the school year but we leave not with the thought of returning another year but that we are leaving our school days behind us. And though we may in years to some, travel to the far corners of the earth never shall we forget our happy days in Clio. A. L. G. Page sixty Agonian History This last year has been a most happy and progressive one for Alpha Kappa Phi. During the autumn many rush parties were held for the entertainment of the Junior girls, the most memorable of which took place at the historic DcLord House, where the British held their headquarters during the Battle of Pittsburgh and which is now maintained just as it was one hundred years ago, as a museum. After visiting the many rooms of this wonderful place and admiring all the curi- ous things displayed there, refreshments were served in the old-fashioned garden behind the house. Perhaps the most popular type of rush-party consisted of picnics up the river. After a long tramp through the pine woods along the river hank, a fire was usually built down by the shore and coffee and weenies enjoyed. On pledge night which took place late in the autumn many new girls were admitted to the fraternity and appeared in school the next day wearing the Ago- nian colors, blue and white and gold. Long will the Juniors remember pledge night but their memory of initiation will be longer. Their thrills in anticipation of that event were only surpassed by those experienced when the time arrived. Since pledge night many enjoyable literary meetings have been held. On these occasions the girls have become better acquainted and each one has been encouraged to make the most of her talents for the entertainment of the rest. One literary meeting of a unique character was a Washington ' s Birthday Party given in honor of three of our members who left at mid-year. In the course of this party the future of each member was foretold and caused general merriment. During the year two very successful cake and candy sales were held, and many boxes of Hershey Bars were sold. The Agonian Room has been greatly improved by the addition of w indow- seats, the retinting of the walls in soft gray and cream-color and by the new cur- tains and cushions of orange and black made by the alumni. One of the most interesting events of our Normal Course was the musical lecture given in Normal Hall during our Junior year by Madame Powell, under the auspices of our fraternity and of our cousins, the Clionians. The chapel was I ' aye sixty-tivo filled to its capacity and many people will long remember some of the famous lecturer ' s experiences. And thus our days in Alpha Kappa Phi will long be remembered not only in an intellectual and literary sense, but also in a social way. Many friendships have been formed through intimacy which membership in the fraternity alone has made possible. Ever shall each Senior remember with pleasure these days so happily spent. Though many a happy day .May light our future way. There is no clearer tie Than Alpha Kappa Phi. J. S.

Where fancy with a golden shuttle weaves A fairy-like design, which ' round them clings Like autumn sunshine over fallen leaves. In Plattsburgh town there is a mansion old, Rich with the treasures of a hundred years. Time o ' er its vine-clad roof has lightly rolled With smiles of gladness, and a few stray tears. Without, an ancient gate of quaint design ; Within a garden where the sunlight plays O ' er many a gnarled old shrub and clinging vine, And pathway winding back to former days. Within the walls of this enchanted place The spirit of past glories reigns supreme. A perfume as of lavender and lace Steals all around as softly as a dream. And smiling down from all the storied walls, Old portraits look from out their gilded frames. Men of renown have wandered through these halls. The rooms still echo their illustrious names. Here once the British their headquarters made. And left a relic of their headlong flight : A chest of silver in the hallway laid, As they surrendered to our greater might. Above the stairs the ancient clock ticks on ; Two hundred years the hands have passed around. From Wethersfield it came in days long gone. Where still the words of Washington resound. And now as years roll by in ceaseless flow, O Fate, have mercy on this ancient place, Grant that its fame may ever wider grow A Treasure House the coming years to grace ! Josephine Stewart. Page sixty-seven Abroad We were at the wharf of a little seaport town in France, taking our place in the long line of passengers who thronged up the gang plank of the great ocean liner. This heautiful May morning, so far, had been complete, with but one shadow across our path. Soon we were steaming far from port. Some of the passengers had in turn become settled in their chosen position. Some were strolling languidly about the decks, others were watching in admiration the ever changing coast line as we rounded the Spanish Peninsula, and glided past the great Rock of Gibraltar. Fainter and still fainter grew the lines of the distant shores until they had laded entirely away and on all sides lay the great expanse of water. As the soft warm winds of the Mediterranean stirred the sea, they silently filled us with a feeling of awe in reflecting upon this ancient commercial route. We were entering the portals of the most ancient civilization and the thought cast each one into a mood of reverence as though he were trespassing upon an almost sacred spot. The feeling of joy and mirth which had characterized the spring day seemed to have suddenly gone, unawares, and without knowing why, we grew more or less anxiously restless. Even the sky frowned, blacker and blacker, sharp flashes of light darted across the sable brow, low, heavy rumblings fell continuously upon our ears. The old sea-rider rocked and pitched about uneasily as the waves rose higher and higher in a tumultuous rage. Suddenly we were conscious of a horrible trembling, a gigantic vibration, and terror seized every heart. Crashing! — Blackness, screams and groans! Helpless 1 sank in the great angry sea. I grabbed! — I tossed! — I tried but I was helpless and terror tore my senses from my conscious fate. It was morning, and the first brightness seemed too great, too much for me to bear. I tried to move as 1 lay on the burning hot sand of the desert short and dimly saw the white-turbaned Arab moving about me. If I could only escape — those low strange mutterings — but no strength had I left. The light softening more and more, I slowly opened my eyes to behold a white gowned nurse standing over me, while, with a smile of half pity, half mockery, the dentist held before me the trophy of his strength. Immediately, the experience of taking gas became a living memory. Hazel Ayres. Page sixty-eight Watch Out! There ' s a hunch of folks at Normal that have a lot to say, .And they always seem to say it in so positive a way, No matter how you struggle your lessons to prepare, They are sure, somehow, to greet you with a look of sheer despair. But it ' s better far to smile than to answer back or pout, For the Faculty will get you if you don ' t watch out! How many of you has it? , is a phrase we often hear, But it ' s plain to every Junior, though it sounds a little queer. Pick up your papers, Jakey, don ' t leave garbage on the floor. When you say a lot for Benny, he always calls for more. Yet you musn ' t cut the classes our rhyme complains about, For the Faculty will get you if you don ' t watch out ! According to directions which we know far, far too well, Move your arm and not your thumb, in the presence of Correll; Cut out the funny stuff, and get right down to work, For. in the main, Lee ' s high disdain is boundless for a shirk. And don ' t sit out the dances, else, without the slightest doubt. Some professor ' s sure to grab you if you don ' t watch out! If you didn ' t laugh at Daddy ' s jokes, or simulate a grin. And never sang in music ' cause your voice was cracked and thin. And to all the other cautions you refused to lend an ear, Don ' t wonder if you ' re back again to spend an extra year; Then, if your wisdom-molars have begun at last to sprout.

Nevermore Ah distinctly, I remember It was only last December When each poor misguided member Of Correll ' s Bookkeeping class, Fell to cramming and to working With Correll behind them lurking Just to see which ones were shirking Just to see which ones should pass. For we knew that he was thinking With his eyes so slowly blinking Of those students who were slinking Slinking up to Reddic ' s Hall. And he knew that those who danced there Knew that those who gaily pranced there, Even those who only glanced there, On a test would surely fall. Yes, I think some voice betrayed us For although the rules forbade us Never a thing there was delayed us When invading Reddie ' s Hall. And although we feared detection Knew our ways would bear correction Yet we took the same direction When we heard the Jazz Band Call. Once I sat there idly dreaming I could hear the music screaming I could see the Jazz Birds preening As they shook across the floor. And I tho ' t, Now what ' s the reason That each year about this season Our old toes all get to teasin ' Teasin ' to come in that door. Page seventy-three Don ' t those tremors hit the teachers, Are they too much like the preachers, And with scorn distort their features While the Shimmy they revile? Ah. if they could know the feeling That comes o ' er us, softly stealing With the music plaintive pealing As the moments we beguile. At that moment I was gazing At the door, it was amazing For Correll stood there appraising With his eye, the motley crowd. All us Normalities were quaking As with ague were we shaking Ah, indeed, there was no faking And our prayers we said aloud. I repeat it was December And distinctly I remember With each solitary member Of our poor misguided class That the test so wild and wooley Made us understand quite fully That Correll could be a bully If we flunked and failed to pass. Yes, dear reader, and next season When our toes begin their teasin ' We will quote, and for good reason, With the raven, Nevermore. Jazzie Art.

W ith faltering feet We stand between the two. wailing lo greet Our Senior year, whose broad, unwritten page Stretches beyond our sight: the wisest sage Maj tell us naught ; no line the future shows — Which more of shade or light — we do not know. Senior and Junior voices ring cheerily and sweet; Gifts arc exchanged today, for surely it is mete That hearts make glad and loving words of cheer And smilrs of gladness close our Junior year. Half tearfully we turn to gaze once more Qn by-gone days; each page is w ritten o ' er With lines crossed and re-crossed. Ah! very dear To us the record of the sweet dead year. — Its mingled joy and pain ; along the way Are strewn crushed buds of hopes all ashen gray ; In the wide corridors we see three score Glad faces that next year will bring no more. But gladly do we give this precious year — Here bright with golden gleams— there stained with tears — Knowing that where we ' ve erred we ' ll be forgiven. fraying we ' ll reach the goal for which we ' ve striven. With honors won by zeal in our last year In which we enter half with hope, half fear. Anna Garvey Page eighty-one The Junior Class History Oh! you the Class of 1920. do you remember tliat eventful day of September 10, 1919, when the now renowned Class of 1921 entered P. S. N. S. as inconspicu- ous Juniors? Did yotl ever suppose that those youngsters whom you regarded with such superior, pityittg smile would ever become the present enterprising funior (. lass? Mow energetic and desirous we were to make our class ttlOSl suc- cessful ! With the undaunted spirit of the untried we decided to make a way to class spirit and so lnveniemus aut faciemus viam ( We ' ll find a way or make one i became our motto. Mow exciting life was those first few days, and how amusing it must have been for the dignified Seniors to see the Juniors Hocking into the Study Hall to receive directions from Mr. Shallies and then scampering through the corridors trying to find the Psychology class in the Accounting room! We bore all these trouble- with grins and accepted peaceably the taunts hurled at us by our superior classmates. 1 1 did not take us very long, however, to get into the routine of Normal School life and October 22. 1919 found us organizing as the illustrious class of 1921, with Walsh McQuillan as our great president. Ottr next event was Unprecedented, for lo! the next day. the. Seniors beheld everj Junior wearing his royal colors of purple and gold while the Seniors them- selves, came OUI with a display of red. white and blue. Perhaps it was due to jealousy on their part that a disturbance was created when the Seniors tried rc- peatedly to take our colors away from us. They even went so far as to mob a certain little person in her loyal attempt to guard our banner. At the end, how- ever, they gained nothing of value (in the way of banners at least ). In the midst of our work came the fust and much-needed vacation Thanks- giving, fur separation acted as an incentive for greater activities on our return. .Ours was the first class in the history of P. S. N. S. to show its originality by selecting and wearing the pin and ring of ' 21 during the entire Normal School course. Then came Christmas vacation which was followed by the Mid-Year Dance and those trivial quizzes ( ???) also given at Mill- Year. After that, both classes settled down to peace and quiet until that eventful day of February 12. when Seventy Juniors stood forth and sang their class song to forty seniors. Page eighty-two On March 19, the Junior (. lass attended in a body a delightful St. Patrick ' s Day party given by the Seniors. We will modestly pass over the Masquerade given for them shortly after Faster, leaving each one to judge as to its success The biggest and best event of the year, looked forward to by all was I nm niencement week, which will long be remembered as the pleasantcsi of our School year. Now with a feeling of satisfaction and pride that we have successfully com- pleted our first year of Normal School life, we leave with the hopes of a still more promising Senior year. Florence M. LeFaivke. Ruth M. Abrahamson, Ethel M, Mekkihlw. Page eighty-three Reply to the Seniors The great day which you Seniors have been anxiously awaiting is here ami as it will he the last opportunity we Juniors will ever have of savin-; what we really think of you, we are prepared to do it. Think hack if yon w ill to the day on which yon Seniors held your first class meeting for the purpose of electing your class officers, Well, where were those Juniors whom you had regarded as meek, unassuming and incapable of doing anything without first being advised by you Seniors, Why! they were in Dr KitcheH ' s class room, electing their clas officers. W as it necessary for us to look for advice from you Seniors before calling our class meeting? Indeed not! We went ahead, elected our officers and selected our class culm s much to the sur- prise and humiliation of that (supposed to be) wonderful class .if 40 who called themselves Seniors. You will douhtless recall those stirring days in shorthand class when some of you Seniors acting in the capacity of pupil teachers fairly trembled and gasped for breath lest we Juniors would show you up by asking questions which you would he unable to answer. W ' e knew your position, and feeling that it would he practically useless for us to expect any information from you concerning the lesson, we remained quiet saying to ourselves. Sammy, forgive them for they know not what they do. Moreover, we .-howed our mettle by having the audacity, as one Senior ex- claimed, to break every precedent of this Normal School and purchase our class rings and pins in our Junior year. W hat was more, we adopted as our class ring, the very ring which you Seniors had hoped to have as yours but for which you lacked the courage to ask Dr. Hawkins ' approval because it did not hear the State seal. The Juniors showed up the feverish little hand of 40 another time by sing- ing their class song in assembly while you Seniors sat dumfounded, unable to be reconciled to the fact that we hail again gained the Upper hand. Hut what had the Seniors planned to do just before assembly that eventful morning, when they discovered what we were about to do? Why they, being Seniors, who had only got so far as thinking that they stood in with Dr. Hawkins, a thought which never materialized, decided on a plan of action. They were going to sing their class song out in the corridor directly before assembly without the necessary permis- sion. The decision had only been reached when they were told what they could Page eighty-four and could not do. convincing them more than ever that the Juniors did things in the right way and at the right time and that the class of 1921 was the choice in the eyes of the principal. Although our one great aim and purpose has been accomplished in giving you cold, indisputable facts concerning your school life, nevertheless we Junior- do not feel that way toward you. The associations which we have formed among ourselves as a student body, will recall to us in future time some of the pleasant- est memories we shall ever have. We bid you fond adieu and wish you the best of luck and success. Tuos. Walsh McQuillan. I ' nyf eighty-five Junior Class Song Tiwe of October Oh! we are Juniors, seventy strong. With forty Seniors ' round us: We ' ve gathered here to sing our song, And laud our Alma Mater. But which class is the nobler, The Junior or the Senior: Which shall gain renown in all its work, In dear old Plattsburgh Normal? Chorus: The Juniors! The Juniors! Hurrah for the Juniors true: The purple and gold shall float on high. Hurrah for the Juniors of I ' — S — N — S. The Juniors! The Juniors! We feel it our duty to give advice, To all departing Seniors ; And we shall nobly fill their place As they march out before us. The Class of Nineteen Twenty-one Shall lead its memhers on to victory ; Farewell dear Seniors — we bid adieu. And wish success to each of you. Leonard Douglas. Page eighty -six Stop! Look! Listen! To tell the truth ' ( iuni money ' doesn ' t go very far hut You ' d he surprised what it did for us! For at the suggestion of Mr. Correll. we used these savings for an Investment, namely a little Ford coupe! Clearly understand, gentle readers, we started nut one day in June merely to tour the surrounding country, little suspecting the many times we would have to Stop! I.00U! Listen! As we spun along one of the streets we heard the strain of Lohengrin ' s Wedding March and we could not help but wish that Katie Thompson would End the road to Matrimony as smooth as the one we were riding on! Another wish was that Mai; llealy. Our Social Butterfly might have prospects equally as great. On passing by the Normal our attention was attracted by a queer group con- sisting of Mary Boylan, Eunice Bradley, Esther Carl, Flora Davidson and Ruth Fifield paying their last respects to the stately edifice before entering the nearby institution the day after school closed. Near the village of Cadyville we beheld someone sitting on the fence and as we drew near we heard a voice call out. If I am so odious, pass me by! (It must have been John Crowley). Just then Daisy Cisco passed by in a flivver; no doubt she too wished to Seymour of the country before leaving Pittsburgh. We stopped at a farm house for refreshments and whom should we run into but Marion Worry Baker who was going to try the rest cure after her strenu- ous battling for a thirteen-hundred-dollar position. All was not smooth sailing, for as we were about to stop to converse with the ambitious Dot Maynard and Gladys McCarthy, who had already started their Summer work and were vamping potato bugs in a nearby field, our tin Lizzie became uncontrollable and we were obliged to race by leaving them gazing at us with an unprofessioal stare. Our position was indeed tragic until John Whalen. traveling toward Saranac where he said he was to spend his vacation. Pit (ed) his anchor and by means of his great drag brought us to safety. The most exciting thing that happened on our journey from Cadyville to Saranac was to pass by Olive Lundy and Adah Brown sitting by the roadside satisfying themselves with a quiet little chat, which they thought was permissable as school days were over. As we came to the outskirts of Saranac Lake, no wonder we had to Stop I Look! Listen! when we heard an Angel (ic) a voice call out, You tell ' em cab- bage, you ' ve got the head. Sure enough there was A ngela who was starting a summer session at Saranac. We talked with her for a while and incidentally Page eighty-seven inquired about her pals Mary anrl Koerb. She told us they were to remain in Pittsburgh during the summer that they might still Pat it down Pat. This news was not surprising, however, so we started out in quest of some- thing more elevating. As we went up the hill we met the economically speaking ' Sheehan girls who inquired from us if we had seen ( B (any of the faculty. What a treat we had at a wayside inn to have music while we ate. We were highly amused and surprised to learn from the proprietor that the great Sylvia. Nannie and Hazel Avers were to display their talent there during the summer. It was more than we expected to hear, however, that Sadie Kaurtman Wood dance there, especially with Prof. Davis as her dancing partner. Leaving Saranac Lake we caught a glimpse of Josey Stewart painting in attractive letters on a billboard: Special, Tonight Only, ' Friday ' s Ghost ' featur- ing Jane W. Prime. This likewise surprised us for we didn ' t expect that these enterprising Seniors would find a position so soon after school was out. Along toward dusk as we were nearing Ausable Forks we were hailed by Anne Rowles aeompanied by Ruth Scribner who were looking for more jokes for a ]K stcript to the Cardinal. Our answer was drowned by a terrific BANG! ' !!! and to our dismay our front rubber tube had gone back on us. Our problem of reaching home was soon solved for along came Pell Mell Gilliland in her dollar- down Packard bringing Stella Hildreth. Hazel Parmeter. Gertrude Benedict, Mildred Nutter, Katherine Navin. who were to take part in the Follies of 1920 shown at the Clinton Theatre. This was to be their last great escapade before entering their professional career. We were about to get into the car when up popped little Weiry Weir with. Me, what is the $1,600 Kid and has to take you in. At last we were within the city limits! As we rode up Bridge Street wc could not help hut watch out for Katherine Coffey ' s Smiling policemen to greet us at the head of Margaret Street whom we discovered was no less than Gertie Powers. She too had found a job for the summer. To wind up our thrilling day and because we saw great crowds going to the movies we decided to follow. It was a special picture — Bertha Phoebe charged us fifty cents each for our tickets. It was worth while, however, because we saw- lack Josie W ' halen starring in A Modern Ghost adapted from the story Ma Turner ' s Sheet, ( W as he fulfilling his $2,000 contract ?). ' Try as we might we couldn ' t get out without having thrust into our hands numerous phamphlets on The Modern Girl. How well we remembered Eliza- beth ( ' Connell ' s views on that subject. Tired and weary but nevertheless satisfied with our day ' s journey we started homeward but once more we had to Stop! Look! Listen! for along came Parksie Kid in her taxi and said she would take us Down (s ) home. Again Stop! Look ! Listen! Florence M. LeFaivre. Ruth M. Ahrahamson. Fthel M. Merriiikw. Page eighty-tight If you ' re hit by our jokes, hide your grief, And don ' t get grouchy, and beef ; If you had just one hint Of the things we don ' t print But could, you ' d faint with relief ! Junior — Have you heard that Commercial teachers are short this year? Senior— No. Why ? Junior — Just look at Weir(y) and Sadie! Our charming Hester is quite wild. For Leonard D. so grave and mild, Where he is found She flutters ' round, As happy as a little child. Dr. Henshaw — Is Miss Kauffman here? Lou Bell — (Looking under the seats) She doesn ' t seem to be. If by mischievous plans you are led To break all the rules and raise Ned, You had better beware, For Tommy is there, With eyes in the back of his head. Mr. Whalen — Mr. McQuillan has just told me that the Juniors will give their class gift alone. Mr. Crowley — Mr. President what else might we expect from that class? Here I would like to make a statement which I think will be of interest to most members of the class, especially those who are going to teach Geography. We have all learned that there were five races of men, the white, black, red, yellow and brown. Now, however, we have another class. Till ' JUNIORS or class of 1921. which makes the GREEN class. Page ninety Faculty Meeting Oh ! it ' s every Wednesday afternoon That they do congregate, And there they hiss and gnash their teeth, And talk about our fate. ' 1 he clever brilliants who stand high Above the common rest, Are praised for all their greatness, Though they cannot flunk a test. But those who grope in darkness, Because they have no brains, Get mighty little credit For their efforts and their pains. W hen finally court is over, And Babe has served the tea, They all depart their several ways, As hateful as can be. The Day After the Sleigh Ride Kate Koerber went on with her essay and informed the school that children needed plenty of rest. How many hours of sleep did you have Kate? John Whalen failed to answer in shorthand for several minutes and nearly received a zero. Poor Lou was nearly asleep and when Mr. Todd saw that she couldn ' t find the place at that instant he gave her a zero. Nevertheless Lou ' s persuasive powers were such that she prevailed on Todd to erase that zero. It would have been such a shame for it to stay in the book.

The seats will not fly away if you are not there to hold them clown. I believe the tickets are seven- teen cents although I have not purchased any this year.

Page one hundred Rules op THE Normal Please Memorize Throw rubbish on all floors including Dr. KitcheU ' s, Baskets are for orna- mental purposes. Talk during assembly and be sure to forget to applaud after the essay. Never sing, for some one might hear you. Never study — bluff gets you further. Always use assembly period for study period. Miss Garrity wants you to. Never walk home with the faculty, they ' ll think you like them. Prepare to sleep in Mr. Corrcll ' s class — He will never bother you. Don ' t talk to the teachers before or after class, or you will get in soft. It ' s better to come to classes late, you won ' t hear so much. Go out every night. Attend Leonard ' s and go to the Soldiers ' Club and the Post. Laugh at Dr. Henshaw ' s jokes or you will flunk Psychology. In Dr. KitcheU ' s class use slang, powder and paint also ear tappers. He encourages it. Keep all your books, the State wants you to have them and then Miss O ' Brien doesn ' t care. How We Study History of Ed. Adah — All ready girls here I come to study History of Ed. Daisy — All right, we ' re ready. (Adah enters and takes seat on trunk near dresser; finds Daisy with crocheting, and Elizabeth reclining on bed.) Adah — Now if you ' re going to study put up that crocheting, sit up, get your books and look intelligent. Eliz. — Oh dear, I ' m so tired. Adah (picking up powder puff and proceeds to powder her nose.) — Well, if you want to get another zero tomorrow go on to bed. Daisy — Now, you start in to ask questions and we ' ll kinda listen. Adah — Tell me all you know from the 5th century B. C. to the present time. Eliz. — Huh. that won ' t take me long! Let me see — the 5th century. Was anybody born then ? Daisy — Dear me, your hair looks good to-night. It never gets a bit mussy. How do you keep it so? Eliz. — Say would you mind keeping still a minute, we want to study History of Ed. ? Daisy — Well if you think your so studious, why don ' t you get a ten for a change instead of an X, my average is over 90. Adah — Girls do be quiet, I came in here to study, not to quarrel. Page one hundred and owe Daisy — Well, if you would ask questions instead of wearing out my mirror we would answer them. Now we ' ll all start in and study. Adah — Who was Comenius? Tell me all about him. Daisy — Oh, I know he was the man who says the 4th course in study in a man ' s life should be the study of the girl he is to marry. (From another room) — - Will you girls keep quite in there? I want to work Arithmetic, Dr. Kitchell gave us 99 problems for tomorrow. Eliz. — No, that isn ' t Comenius. he was a school teacher, he didn ' t think of marriage. He was the educator that advocated washing your feet in cold water to make them grow. Adah — No, I knew neither one of you girls knew a thing about this, you don ' t read intelligently. In the main, you can ' t pick out the important facts, logi- cally speaking you don ' t know what you are talking about anyway. (From down stairs comes the sound of drumming on a piano.) Fliz. — Oh, dear me, 1 can ' t concentrate with such noise. What did you say happened in the 12th century? Daisy — 12th century ! ! Say, that seems to be the only date you know ; were you born that year or was that the Fall of Rome? My, but that was a good look- ing suit we saw today. What kind of hat are you going to get ? (Will you shut your door in there so 1 can read my shorthand?) Adah — Now I ' ll tell you something about Comenius. (Reading from book) Comenius was the man who wrote etc., — Daisy — Well, you ought to be able to read from the book correctly at least. Fliz. — Hand me my book so I can answer some questions. Daisy — Probably Daddy will explain this lesson tomorrow. I don ' t get much out of it. Do you? Adah — (With a yawn picking up her book, papers, and pencil) — Well, I must study History of Commerce. I don ' t believe we will have a test in this tomorrow anyway. Can You Imagine? Edward Stratton flunking? Albert Dcsjardins without a grin. Hazel Caplan bashful ? Grace Cuddlcback not arguing?

Don ' t pay your dues — Be continually thinned for them. Make your treasur- er work for the honor of his office. Don ' t attend class meetings. It is exceedingly poor taste and gives the im- pression you possess class spirit. Don ' t listen to rostrum essays. They are only meant for educated people. Don ' t speak to Dr. Kitchell in the hall, he will never listen to you anyway. Don ' t whisper in the library, talk out loud. Miss O ' Brien loves to hear the conversation and so do the Seniors. Don ' t fall in love with your Bookkeeping Professor — leave that to the Senior. Page one. hundred and three Mr. Whalen ( teaching penmanship) — All right, ready for Drill K. The first word will be kill, and the rest of the line will be killing. Mr. Todd (after the janitor had fixed the clock in shorthand room) — Why don ' t you put it an hour ahead ? Janitor — Don ' t you want to earn your money? Julia Hurley — I always swallow my gum. lilsa — That must be why you are so stuck up.

LOST — A pair of legs in Manual Training room. Finder please return to Emilia Vaughn — She is still waiting for them to finish her stool. Kate Weir — I wonder what the ' F ' means opposite certain names in Mr. Correll ' s class-book for penmanship. Lou — It probably means ' Fool. ' Mr. Todd — It ' s so sunny here, Miss Hanley, please run up the shade. Mr. Thompson (in law) — Tomorrow we will begin on ' Insanity ' at Miss Baxter. Dr. Henshaw (in History of Education) — Rousseau ' s wife had very little- education, but she was an accomplished cook. J. Crowley — Why, then she must have won him through his stomach rather than heart. Dr. Henshaw — Be careful, John, you might be affected that way some day. J. Crowley — I don ' t need to be. Dr. Henshaw— Why ? ?? rage one hundred and [our Heard in the Corridor Senior — I ' m going up lo speak to Mr. Thompson a minute — I ' ll be through in half an hour.

Seen in a Store Window — Kids cleaned for 10c. In a tailor shop — Come in and have fits. Boys are like melons, shall I tell you why? To find a good one. you must a hundred try.

Dr. Kitchell — Sure, because there is a crank in front and lot of nuts behind. Jane Collins, when chased by a Lyon In wildest distress was a fly in ' Till she found one who ' d take her And make her a Baker, And that put an end to her crvin ' . Mr. Correll — Miss Merrilt, to whose account did you charge clothing? Margaret — To Dad ' s account, of course. For Veleda Duby ' tis bliss without end To be claimed by Miss Navin as friend.

To spend time on a shadeless, positionless, minus system of shorthand, is to waste it. It gets you nowhere. Learn at once Pitmanic Phonography the real shorthand that is used by all the reporters of the United States Congress, the leading law reporters, and the successful busi- ness stenographers the country over. The latest Government statistics, publisht by the Bureau of Education, show that 77.3 ' ' of the shorthand clerks in the depart- ments at Washington write Pitmanic Phonography. The other 22.7 ' ' write all kinds of systems — over twenty in all. The official roster of the National Shorthand Reporters ' Asso- ciation shows that more than 9 1 ' , of the official shorthand report- ers in the law courts write Pitmanic Phonography.
