« Dedicated to SAMUEL TODD In appreciation of his faith in us and of the earnestness and devotion which are characteristic of his daily work, we dedicate this book to Professor Samuel Todd, who has the love and respect of the entire student body. Professor Samuel Todd Samuel Todd Professor Samuel Todd, Head of the Department of Short- hand and Typewriting in the Pittsburgh State Normal School, was born at Dry Brook, Ulster Co., N. Y. After completing the regular course in the public schools of his native place, he took the examination for teachers and secured a license to teach, valid for ten years, and renewable without further examination. After some years of teaching in the rural schools, he be- came principal of the school at Union Grove, N. Y., where he re- mained two years, giving up that position to become principal of the school at Arkville, N. Y. Resigning the principalship at Arkville, he took the regular course of study and was graduated at the Eastman Business Col- lege. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. He has also taken courses at the Rochester Business Institute, Spencer ' s Business College, Kings- ton, N. Y., and New York University, specializing in shorthand and typewriting. After completing his studies at the Eastman Business Col- lege, he was employed for a short time as stenographer in the New York office of the Walter A. Wood Harvester Co., leaving this position to become Head of the Commercial Department in the Lyons High School and Supervisor of Writing in the public schools of Lyons, N. Y. After serving four and a half years in that position, he accepted a similar position in Johnstown, N. Y., and was called from there to a place on the faculty of this insti- tution. Foreword It is with a feeling of humility that we place this book in the hands of our friends. If herein they find a small degree of pleasure, or a slight surcease from the monotomy of life, then our work has not been in vain and we rest from our labors with the conviction that we have done well. May this Cardinal be ever a constant reminder of pleasant memories. The Board of Editors. The Board of Editors Thomas Walsh McQuillan Editor-in-Chief Ruth M.

Memory Let fate do her worst ; there are relics of joy, Bright dreams of the past, which she cannot destroy; And which come in the night-time of sorrow and care To bring back the features that joy used to wear. Long, long be my heart with such memories filled Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled : You may break, you may ruin the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.

Much business was transacted, as the electing of officers, manner of raising class dues, etc. Oct. 22. The Juniors entertained the Seniors in the Normal Gym.

Class Prophecy Plattsrurgh, N. Y., June 16 . 1931, Dear Genevieve : I received your letter some time ago saying that you would like to have me write and tell you the news about all our old school friends. Of course the old place has changed a good deal in the last ten years since you left here but I will try to recall the old crowd, and tell you what has happened to them. Of course you remember Hazel Ayres. Well, the last I heard from Hazel she was using her influence at the Educational Department in Albany to get the state to put in another course in the Normal School so she could stay a while longer. Perhaps you ' ve read in the paper about Ruth Abrahamson setting up a matrimonial bureau. Abie says she charges twice as much to get a man for a school teacher, because they ' re just twice as hard to get. Katie Baxter is running around from one school to another trying to make up her mind what to do. When one has so many heavy dates, it is hard to accomplish anything. I heard from Hazel Caplan not long ago and it seems that she is holding down a pretty good position, notwithstanding the fact that she has lost a number of them because she insisted on having the last word with the Principal. You may be surprised to hear that Genevieve Carey has organized a large class in elocution. None of us can deny that Genevieve was a good talker because we never heard her. Veda Cassidy and Helen Cowles have proved a credit to the school, even though they did get tired of teaching, for they have formed a society for the Propagation of the Gospel among school teachers. Of course I don ' t wish to say anything against Ruth Clark but I never thought she would be satisfied to settle down on a farm but then, I suppose it has a charm all its own. It seems Hester Col eman wasn ' t satisfied with the education she obtained at Normal since she is now taking a course in Natural History specializing in birds — swallows, sparrows, etc. I really feel bad for Jane Collins because she certainly was a good kid. But you ' ve probably heard that she has been granted a divorce from Johnny Fitz on a charge of cruelty and is now running a beauty parlor. Never mind, Jane will re- ceive her reward in heaven. Page thirty-eight Adelaide Conkel is now Assistant Head of the Commercial Department I always predicted a great future for Adelaide but she has gone beyond my highest expectations. Revel Gardenier and Leona Doig have remained faithful to the teaching pro- fession and are. of course, teaching in the same school. You would never recognize Florence Fielding if you could see her now. Her hard teaching schedule and her conscientious studying were too much for her frail constitution. Now she is selling Ford cars to keep the temperature of her pocketbook from sinking to zero. Al Desjardins has almost reached Mr. Correll ' s height (mentally not physically) and is on the faculty up here at Normal. Be prepared for the worst but it is true, so hold your breath. Doug and Robart have formed a partnership and are traveling through the country giving lectures on How to Bring Up Your Children. I ' m sure the team work is good. They were always such friends. I was up in Cadyville the other day and who should I run into but little Gertrude Darrah. She tells me that she has a hair dressing shop on the main street. Gert always believed in wearing one ' s hair in the most extreme style. From all reports Valeda Duby finds Tupper Lake more attractive than Dannemora since she recently accepted a position as Gossip Fditor on the staff of the Tupper Lake Herald. It seems strange the course some will take in following out their inclinations. For instance, Helen Emperor is running a Zoo and is specializing in Lyons. Marilda Duby has gone in strong for prison reform and takes great interest in aiding good looking young men to obtain pardons. I wonder if she has suc- ceeded in getting young Clarke pardoned yet. Mildred Foley and Julia Hurley have purchased Mrs. Poland ' s place and are advertising for boarders, young men preferred. Raly Grossman decided to teach Gymnastics rather than commercial subjects and they say she prescribes long walks for all physical and mental ailments. Raly always was great on hiking. If you go to New York this year don ' t fail to go to the Hippodrome and see our Katie Johnson who gives exhibitions of fancy ice skating. If you can ' t locate Katie ask for her manager. Miss Kellev. That must be why Theresa did so much heavy looking on at the rink last winter, trying to get the hang of things, I guess. Kathleen Haidey, Jane Prime and Margaret Merritt are keeping bachelor quarters in town. They expect to do something some time but they intend to en- joy themselves for a while, same old attitude, all right. Agnes Keenan is running a taxi service from Plattsburgh to Peru once in the morning and once at night except when there is a dance in the Town Hall at Peru, then the taxi service is suspended. Page thirty-nine 1 suppose it will be no surprise to you to hear that Margaret Lallier is Assistant History of Ed. teacher at P. S. % S, There ' s no doubt but that Margaret is capable of filling the position. Bob LeFaivre is now a partner having a half interest in the company of Bob Bob. Inc. I had my doubts about this affair after Bob went to Vermont at Easter but all ' s well that ends well. I am sending you with this letter our best Pittsburgh paper and whom do you suppose is Editor-in-Chief of it? No less a person than Art Lyons. Art always was great on picking up news. Dorothy Martin has been promoted to Preceptress of the school at Moriah. I guess Dorothy must have a good reason for sticking close to Chateaugay. Marguerite Martin has been teaching for the last few years in a school for the Deaf and Dumb. Marguerite never could see any reason why people wanted to talk so much. Bernadettc McCasland is now head of a Teachers ' Agency getting jobs for Commercialites, who failed to take her advice and grab the first one they could get. Dot Lewis took a medical course at college and is now a stomach specialist of some fame. That always was Dot ' s specialty. The faculty of the Normal School have found it to their advantage to create a new position on the staff. Ann a Lockwood has been installed as head of The General Information Bureau. No matter what the difficulty may be Anna will straighten anyone out. Perhaps you recall hearing Buzz McCoy say that she had always wanted to be a teacher. Well, she ' s given it up and is stenographer in the office of one of our leading young attorneys, Leo Downs. I mustn ' t forget to tell you the good fortune Pat McQuillan has fallen into. He is now head of the State Board of Education pulling down S10.000 per. I thought he must have had some object in view when he was inquiring about the salary of the head of the Board. Jimmie O ' Connell has a pretty good position now teaching Economics. Jimmie used to think that stuff wasn ' t much good but he ' s got over those childish notions. Francis Casey has become greatly interested in politics and in the last election was made President of Altona village. Since she has taken up the dutie s of her new office a • ' movie house has been built where all may enjoy pictures of the best quality every night. Jo Menzel sometimes gave me the impression that her mind was miles away and 1 have heard lately that she is studying Navy rules and regulations to see if she hasn ' t a chance to join the Navy. Ethel Merrihew taught two or three years in different towns but I have re- ceived authentic reports to the effect that she has accepted a permanent position in Yonkers. We are glad Ethel ' s fondest hopes have been realized. Page forty Laura Nathan is still teaching school. Her only reason for doing so is be- cause she thinks she can find more trouble and worry there than any place she knows of. Esther Papineau is running an Elite fashion shop for women. Esther always was great on styles and color combinations. D orothy Parker is assistant to Mr. Shallies now. Dot ought to be pretty well trained for that position since she has had the experience of conducting his classes when he was out of town. Mary Powers is working in New York nowadays. She is Joke Editor of one of New York ' s largest newspapers. Man- ought to be right at home in that capacity. Helene Smith has decided to take up Essay writing as her life work. The training she received in Normal along this line has been a great help to her. Betty Trudeau is teaching a private school in Tupper Lake. Betty never did care for a crowd, perhaps, it ' s a school for one. Hazel Scott, rather, Scottie is now Proprietress of McGaulley ' s Hotel where one is served any of Jake ' s specialties, I ' m sure it ' s all for the best. Hortense Kinsman is now devoting all her time to writing a book entitled How to Acquire Pep to Suit Critics. She should have found out this secret before leaving Normal. Doris Jenkins has just completed a course in Jui Jitsu so she may properly discipline the big boys in her school. It doesn ' t seem as though Doris needed that course, from all reports. Ed Stratton has come to the conclusion that hard study will get him no- where so he has been taking, lessons from Pat McQuillan on How to Blurt Through Things and since then has obtained a position as Principal of Schools in New York City. Well, Ed ought to know that life is just one big bluff. Frank Tabor is one of Pittsburgh ' s most popular young men. He is now running a dancing academy in opposition to Professor Leonard. Special prices given to all Normal students. Sadie Buck has been taking a course in interior designing. We hope Sadie may make practical use of her knowledge in the near future. Bernice Luther is now an agent for some concern selling freckle cream. It hasn ' t done Bernice any good but that ' s no sign it won ' t help other people. Alice Rovelle has just accepted Miss Garrity ' s place on the faculty. Alice always did enjoy getting up before the class to render solos. Cassie Sausville is now assisting the first grade teacher in the capacity of general errand boy. Somebody ' s got to do it, so why not Cassie? Ruth Kniskern has been spending her time and money in writing free pamph- lets entitled Putting Economics in Comprehensive Form for Normal Students. It ' s a good thing she did it because no one else could. Page forty-one Dot Tjeerdsma is now a teacher of aesthetic dancing. I always thought Dot ' s limbs were made loose at the joints for some good purpose. And last but not least I must tell you what has become of Mary Warner. Mary is now Preceptress of one of the Normal Schools in the State of Vermont where she is striving hard to bring them up to the standard of the New York Normal Schools especially in regard to salaries. I have endeavored to relate to you the facts regarding our old school friends but if I have forgoten any you must remember that a decade has passed since our sojourn from the halls of P. S. N. S. and forgive me accordingly. Your willing Jakey Gossip. Maix Office Senior Class Song Tune: Sweet Genevieve . Oh Seniors, in this year, our last, Let ' s make it one we ' ll ne ' er forget ; With songs and cheers of our great Class We ' ll fill the halls with sad regret. The Faculty, in our minds we ' ll place, As milestones on the road Success ; All downward steps we will retrace. And make our motto Happiness. Chorus. We say goodhy to you dear school, Our work we know has j ust begun ; But while we work, can you forget The Senior Class of ' Twenty-One? Oh Seniors, when this year is gone, And on Life ' s weary path we plod, Let ' s greet each breaking of the dawn With cheerful hearts, a smile, a nod. As out into the world we go And bid farewell to friends so dear, We leave behind us days of youth And memories that crowd the year. Arthur J. Lyons. Page forty-three Class Will We, the Seniors of the Pittsburgh Normal School, Class of 1921, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills, bequests and devises of whatever nature made by us.

Third : We bequeath to you a day of two sessions with periods one hour in length next vear. This regime, as you undoubtedly know, was to have taken effect in our Senior year but because of the brilliancy which we displayed in our lunior year, it was clearly seen by the members of the faculty that the extra time would not be needed. Fourth: We leave you the privilege of remembering all of the interesting essays which have been delivered by Seniors from this rostrum during the past year. Fifth: We leave you the advice that in order to gain the respect of next year ' s Juniors you should possess more Pep, Originality, and Quickness in action of which you have been sadly in need during the past year.

The Class of 1921, Per J. Leonard Douglas. Up the River ' Mementoes of the Class of ' 21 Self-preservation is the first law of nature. We learned this fact from our observation of various forms of life. As age increase, this self-preservation in- creases to certain degrees. During our youthful years we of this class have sought to continue the development already begun and encouraged in the lower houses of study. Instructions and our intellectual labors have advanced every member of our graduating class until now we may safely claim we will be not merely worthy products but a source of admiration for our Alma Mater.

Charge to the Juniors To the so-called Class of ' 22 (We don ' t know about the ' 22 ) : Well, Juniors, this is the last day that you can rely upon the Seniors to show you the right path. Today we must shift your responsibili ties, which we have carried all year, to your own shoulders. Poor unsophisticated Juniors ! The burden is too heavy for you. We realize how incompetent you are, and perhaps a word of advice will not he amiss. Are you capable of recalling past events? Then follow me. The very first day of school, we Seniors organized our class, and hoped that you Juniors would profit thereby. Our regular meetings continued, but still your dormant mass of humanity moped about this venerable institution. Weeks passed. Then some of the less sluggish ones, frightened by the continued threats of their upper classmen, rallied this mob, to select a leader. Behold your president — Michael Joseph Brennan. Could you expect to be congratulated upon your choice? Well hardly. Irresponsibility, incapability, inefficiency, are not objects of complimentary re- marks. .After admiring our class colors, the royal purple and gold, the idea finally penetrated your dull senses that you should have class colors of your own. Con- sequently, your herd again stampeded to the assembly hall. Inspired by the effeminate tastes of one of your illustrious ( ?) officers you chose old rose and gray. How well they symbolized your main characteristics — old rose for weak- ness and gray for lack of pep. The burden of your first great secret was too heavy for even your president to carry, so he immediately revealed it to me. Old rose and gray ! You were ashamed of them yourselves, weren ' t you, Juniors ? So ashamed, in fact, that it took several days to acquire enough courage to rush them. How well we remember that day! Your Junior colors faded into in- significance before our glorious display of purple and gold. Rather than let your symbol disgrace the school, by reposing on its walls we found an appropriate place for it — with the inmate of the box, in the lower corridor. Weakness and lack of pep are by no means your only faults. Slowness pre- dominates. It was months before you made your debut into school life. Re- membering the royal entertainment accorded you by the Seniors, you tried to reciprocate, but. poor Juniors, it was only an attempt. Speaking of slowness, re- minds me of a rather amusing incident, of which, undoubtedly, many of you have heard. It appears that a certain member of your class, was once confined to the hospital. After thirty-two days of neglect, you decided to send flowers — but, low and behold, before you took action, he was back to school — no need for flowers. Page fifty-one Again and again your predominant trait cropped out. Think of the Mid- Year dance! To make it a success, the Seniors once more lent you a helping hand, by decorating the gym. Helpless Juniors ! How your eyes opened with admiration, and how you applauded, when we sang our Class Song! Did the idea ever occur to you to have one? Apparently not! Still, you slumbered on. Poor things! It is bad enough to be lifeless, but worse, to lack initiative. Finally, the song came, or was it a yawn after the awakening? Realizing the impoliteness of yawning in public, you tried to cover it, by adding a toast, to yourselves, in the form of a yell. Now, Juniors, do not get the mistaken idea that we are ridiculing you. Ex- perience is the best teacher and we hope you will profit by her many valuable les- sons. We have been your ever-watchful guardians, but the time has come when we must take upon ourselves heavier responsibilities, and leave you dependent upon yourselves. You may strive to improve, but it cannot be expected that you will ever reach your high aspiration of being: One among many, but Second to none. Albert J. DesJardins. Class Oration Every young man and woman thinks of graduation as one of the greatest events of life; an event looked forward to with anticipation: an event which marks the culmination of an epoch of hard work, uncertainty, sorrows mingled with successes and irrepressible joy. Each year commencement comes, leaves many at the threshold of Life — and then departs. Today we are students; to- morrow the student days of most of us are gone forever. At this time the high lights of our lives appear ; we are well-nigh overwhelmed by our success and what we have accomplished ; within ourselves we feel strong to step out into the world and do great things : we feel happy because we have pleased our parents and friends who have looked forward to our graduation with much the same feeling we have had. For years we have worked and planned for the eventful day and now it has come. The graduates are going forth — God bless them every one ! To iun this hard and stubborn world Just as it should be run ; But much I fear they ' ll find that facts Don ' t always track with dreams ; And running this old world is not As easy as it seems. This attitude is the natural one for us to take, yet there is great danger of being carried away by our enthusiasm. When graduation day is over we must look at the matter from a logical standpoint ; we must be filled with the determina- tion to succeed and the sincere desire to be serviceable to our fellowmen ; and we must come to the realization that our work, instead of finished, is just beginning. The graduate is prone to think His wisdom is complete ; He ' s but to ask — the world will lay Its trophies at his feet. But school days done and work begun, He learns to his regret, The college of experience He has not mastered yet. Many of us. on entering the Normal had definite plans in view. We were planning to become instructors of those in the early years of their education. How many of us. I wonder, realize the responsibility of this undertaking? Also, how many of us are inclined to overestimate our attainments and the powers we have already acquired ? It is wise to be honest critics of ourselves and to ask : What can I do to become more efficient? Later we may perhaps encounter de- lay, difficulty in finding the right environment; we may meet with discourage- ments, perhaps lack of appreciation. At such times the high hopes and over-con- Page fifty-three fidence which were ours at graduation will seem to have vanished. But we must be optimistic and have the strength to overcome our difficulties. For the young graduate — The world has garlands and applause At graduating time ; But may forget him t he next day When he begins to climb. Life is a battle where each one Must seek and hold his own : He who would rise above the clouds Must scale the heights alone. As teachers, we must be resolute and win our way. This can be done : first, by improving our qualifications ; second, by showing our willingness to do hard work; third, through our readiness to serve. The teacher who follows these principles will have many rewards. Her first reward will be the gratitude of pupils whom she has under her care, and of their parents. Through this contact with people and this gratitude are formed some of the richest friendships of after life. The consciousness of having a share in building, not only schools but per- haps communities and states, and of serving even one ' s country is a reward which would be a comfort all through life; for the teacher who can be a force in the upbuilding of character in th e scores, it may be hundreds, of the young who come nnder her influence and instruction contributes most directly to the welfare of mankind. Jt is well then that at graduation time we enter into the joys of the day, in- dulge ourselves in high hopes and ambitions, let all our skies seem fair, and the sunlight shine upon our path, for it is only those who are responsive to the day whose natures can be rich and forceful. This is the rule of life today, As it has ever been ; The world bestows its smiles on those Who have the strength to win. Beneath all outward semblances It looks for merit true ; It little cares how much you know, But asks — what can you do? Doris Jenkins. Page fifty-four Ivy Oration Classmates : This is a day to which we have looked forward to with sadness. Joy at the realization that we have completed our work but the sadness of partings and farewells. As Alma Mater has guided us through our joys and troubles, she now sends us forth another class rooted in her spirits and ideals, to share in the greatest work of civilization in our beloved state. Today we meet for the last time as a class. Our final act will be to pliant this bit of ivy, which is symbolic of the class of 1921. As it grows from year to year may it become stronger and continue growing, always striving upward and onward. This ivy which we plant is an emblem of our undying love and loyalty to our school. Here we place the symbol of victory, and truthfulness which have been inspired within us by our friends, classmates and teachers. Elizabeth Trudeau. Page fifty-five President ' s Address Class day, the day which we have all looked forward to with fondest hopes is here and with it as with all days of rejoicing comes the parting of the ways. It means that after two years of effort and study, we are to go out into the battles of everyday life, not as students with someone watching over us ever ready to lend a guiding hand, but as men and women of the world, to face what- ever tasks lie before us. But on the other hand, we have or at least should have benefited enough by our training here in the Normal School to enable us to meet these duties with zeal and determination and perform them in such a manner as will reflect credit not only upon ourselves but upon this institution to which we owe so much. Little do we realize as we are assembled here that we are leaving behind us some of the greatest pleasures we have ever had or will ever have and the truest friendships any of us can ever care to cherish. Dr. Hawkins and member of the Faculty — it is hardly necessary to say that we appreciate in no small degree the many great things you have done for us and whatever course we may choose to follow in the future, you can be assured that we shall always try to vivify the splendid principles and teachings you have set before us and shall be the type of American citizens, men and women, you desire us to be. Seniors — I wish to thank you again as I have before for the singular privilege you have given me to act as your spokesman during our two years here and I can assure you that I have considered it a pleasure from the very beginning. Farewell. Seniors and the best in the world for each of you. T. W. McQuillan. Page fiftti-six Salutatory Parents and friends, fellow-students, and members of the faculty, the Class of 1921 greets you: Our feelings on this occasion almost defy expression, and yet it is my privilege to attempt to put into words some of the thoughts which are demanding utterance. We are grateful to you. fathers and mothers, for the numerous sacrifices you must have made for us. but about which you said nothing. There were many times when you must have gone without necessities that we might have what we wanted or thought we wanted. We also have much for which to thank our friends. You have stood by and encouraged us, rejoiced with us when we were successful, and sympathized with us when it seemed impossible that anything would ever again be right. You, fellow-students, have made our school-life more joyful that it could otherwise have been. When discouragement clouded our skies, you showed us the silver lining and helped us forward toward our goal. Members of the faculty. I fear we do not yet appreciate as we ought, all you have done to make our course smooth for us. After a year ' s experience as teachers, we shall more fully realize the efforts you have put forth in our behalf. To make a small portion of the world a better place to live in will be our task, and we hope to meet with some measure of success because we know your sympathy and support go with us. Parents and friends, fellow-students, and members of the faculty, in behalf of the Class of 1921. I extend a hearty welcome to you. one and all. Dorothv Parker. Page fi,fty-seve?i Valedictory As we stand on the threshold of life, after two years of unremitting study and friendly associations, and gaze with joyous expectation on the broad avenues of the future, our past school days come up before us as a glorious memory. This eventful day is crowded with deep emotions of exaltation and triumph, which are in turn tempered by the sad thought that the links of cherished associa- tions must now be broken, never, perhaps, to be joined again. Today we step forth into the busy world, girded for battle. We must assume our share of the task of moulding the characters of the citizens of tomorrow. The future of America rests with its future citizens, the children whose characters and destinies are now in the making. The present era of reconstruction and readjustment offers unparalleled op- portunities for duty and service in our chosen profession. Civilization, as always after a great world conflict, is again at the cross-roads, beset with the spirit of un- rest or in the throes of anarchy. At this critical moment mankind sounds the appeal for help and guidance with a trumpet voice. In this task the teachers of America have an important part In measuring up to our responsibility, in per- forming the part allotted to us, and in living life in its fullest measure, we must make the goal of today merely the stepping-stone to the effort and achievement of tomorrow. Service is a truly noble ideal, and may our work here be merely the stepping- stone to greater accomplishments in our life ' s work. Dominated by the desire to reflect honor on our Alma Mater, and conscious of our debt of gratitude to the faculty of this institution, we face the future with confidence and with the determination to succeed. As we travel along the path- way of life, through the sunshine and the shadows, may the ideals, inspirations, and blessings of our youth be our guiding stars. The hour of parting has come. Members of the faculty, fellow-students, friends, in behalf of the Senior Class I bid you all farewell. J. Edward Stratton. Pane fifty-eight Clionian History Two years of Clio! Gloriously happy years they have been, for not the least part of our Normal School life has been that which is given to the lighter vein. And yet the ideals of our Clionian Sorority are not merely those of pleasure and entertainment. Since the sorority was first established in 1879 the highest ideals of friendship have been carried on by all its members, accompanied by earnest desires for social betterment. W hen the class of ' 21 entered the Normal, our first somewhat lonesome days were brightened by the friendliness of the Clios of the Class of ' 20. The parties and entertainments they gave for us helped to drive away the feeling that we were among strangers. And when the excitement of rush days was over the sorority composed of the Seniors and Juniors settled down for some real work. Perhaps the most tangible product of the year ' s endeavor was the redecora- tion of the Clionian room, due not only to the untiring efforts of the Senior Clios, but also to the gener osity of our Alumni members. The redecoration was com- pleted just before the end of the school year. During Commencement Week we were able to give our last tea and literary farewell-meeting in a room cool and summery with its snowy curtains and delft blue over-draperies. New cushions and new rugs carried out the dull blue color scheme. Another event, successful socially as well as financially, was the card party given by the Alumni for the benefit of the Sorority. Cake sales and selling of candy at different times throughout the year also helped to replenish the treasury. The Clionian Convocation was held this year at the New Paltz Normal School and the Delta Chapter was most efficiently represented by Miss Cisco and Miss Ruth Abrahamson. In the scholarship records of the class of ' 20 the Clionians were well repre- sented, capturing both the valedictory and the salutatory. They also were well represented in the list of honor students. In the first days of last September the Normal halls again rang with gay greetings as the class of ' 21 returned for its senior year and the new class of ' 22 assembled. In the Clio room on that first day was held the first meeting of the Page sixty year — a happy reunion with just a touch of sadness at the thought of the Seniors of ' 20 who perhaps would never meet there with us again. There was little time for retrospect, however, for excitingly busy rush days were ahead of us. There were beach parties, movie parties and house parties; roasts up the river, and the Clionian Dance, for which Anna Lockwood conceived a unique and lovely scheme of decoration. The Japanese Fete of the year before was repeated and a clever new party, the Goldenrod Party, was added. Finally the days of probation for the Juniors came to an end, and on a still, frosty autumn night came the last of the happy parties, and with it the witching hour. Dear Juniors, how glad we were to have you with us ! So swiftly did the days slip by that almost before we knew it the Christmas holiday was at hand and with it the Christmas party. Of course we had a Christmas tree and gifts. No less great was the pleasure in entertaining the faculty members of the Alumni. The Alumni again favored us with a card party and we thank Miss Hawkins for her untiring efforts in making it a success. Other money came into the treasury by the way of cake and candy sales. During the spring the unsightly heating system was removed and a new system of radiation was installed by Dr. Hawkins. This great help made it possible for the sorority to put in a long-needed new hardwood floor. One of the social events of the sorority year was the dance given to the Agonians during their Convocation. At our own Convocation at Buffalo we were again represented by Miss Abrahamson, and also by Miss Frances Byrnes, the Junior delegate. But now comes the day when we Senior Clios must pass on and leave the happy times behind us to become just memories — though ever so must the world turn on. Welcome then offshore wind ! Each sail home sheeted. The chartered course true held, to sea. to sea! Whatever comes that shall be bravely greeted, And nothing feared in all that is to be! A. M. C. Page sixty-one Agonian History True friends are the whole world to one another: and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is in imparting them to others : for there is no relish to me in the possession of anything without a partner. This quotation expresses better than I can what our friendships in Agonia mean. This year will long he remembered by members of Alpha Kappa Phi for we have been up and doing. We began to form new friendships the day school opened and the fall rush season began. Many and memorable were the events of that rush! The first social affair of the year was the Agonian dance which was held in the gymnasium the first Friday of the term. Everyone came and it was our first real opportunity to become acquainted. We took advantage of the beauties of Nature and had several roasts of dif- ferent kinds on the shores of Lake Champlain. A kid party, a dinner, literary meetings and movie parties were other preliminaries of pledge night. One Wednesday morning in October twenty-four girls appeared in school wearing bows of blue, white and gold. These we now welcome as sister Ago- nians ! On Washington ' s Birthday ten others joined us. Companionship in the society has culminated in many deep and lasting friend- ships. These are possible, as Carlyle says through mutual devotedness to the good and true and will endure even when Time shall part our ways. To refurnish our room we raised money in various ways. The Alumnae did more than lend their moral support when they held a card party for us. We held sales of baked dishes, aprons, cake, candy and fancy articles and sold many boxes of chocolate bars. Occasional literary meetings have been held. Probably the most interesting was the one held Washington ' s Birthday when we rode in a large truck out into the country to the home of one of our members. One number on the program was a country school. Small wonder that such good essays are written about district schools if they are all as funny as that one was. In April we and our Clionian cousins had a dance which was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. In May delegates from all chapters of the whole Agonian Fraternity met Pa ' le sixty-three with the Delta Chapter at Pittsburgh. What benefits we derived from Convoca- tion! How good it seemed to meet our Agonian sisters and friends from other parts of the state ! We all enjoyed the social meetings and the excursions to nearby places of interest and beauty. But more than this, we were glad to learn what the other chapters had been doing and what we should all do in the future. Since Convocation we have striven more earnestly than ever to attain to the highest possible type of true womanhood. And now at Commencement time we stand looking back into the past and forward into the future. We recall with pleasure the happy times in Alpha Kappa Phi and we resolve to carry its spirit of friendship with us into the future. D. M. P. Alumni Notes Miss Margaret A.

Merely Advice We ' ve lived, we ' ve learned and now we know That Normal Students must go slow : For if you don ' t, we know you ' ll be In deep hot water and you ' ll see That teachers are not always blind, Nor in their dotage ; you will find That they expect you to be sharks. And not go out on nightly larks. And come to school all unprepared To live the day completely scared. Of course they know we must have fun. When all our lessons first are done ; And so we hold a little dance Down in the Gym ; like fools we prance Upon the cracks. Our feet get sore But still we clap and holler. More. The teachers sit around and grin. But those who don ' t think it ' s a sin To let prospective teachers hold A girl so tight — and then they scold And tell about when they were young, Till all their virtues have been sung. And with these emanations o ' er, A few will waltz across the floor To show us how it should be done. (They dance as two. instead of one). Of course the toddle they revile. Although they know it is the style. As for the shimmy — it ' s a curse Sent on the world — there ' s nothing worse. Then when eleven bells come round They feel that they are sort of bound To close things up ; they ' d be to blame If any student came to shame Through being out so late at night. They know we ' ve had supreme delight In dancing there before their eyes And think that we should show surprise That they should give us all this fun When nothing we have ever done Deserved it for us. Then we say, How wonderful has been this day, And shake their hands and thank them all And beat it down to Reddie ' s Hall. Where, gliding o ' er that wondrous floor Our feet get over being sore; And we forget that half the night, We were in misery and fright. But since at last all things must end. Our steps we slowly homeward bend And there upon the steps we sit While minutes into hours flit. You wouldn ' t think we were alive Till all the clocks strike half past five. And then at last we have to part, And homeward sad ly then we start. But if we think that we ' ve been cute, That of our deeds the world is mute, Then we have still another think And with astonishment we blink W hen all the teachers say with scorn, You look like you ' d stayed out still morn. Now from these words we hope you ' ll get Some good advice, and don ' t regret I f you have never had the chance To do these things at every dance. You ought to know, the Profs are right. And your young lives you should not blight ; Just emulate their deeds you know, And straight to Heaven you will go. The Hall of Fame If here below you find your name, Don ' t hide your face in sudden shame. But just consider that your fame Has found you out. THE CLASS SHARK, Edward Stratton.

Page sixty-nine e Rime of a Weary Student (With Apologies to Coleridge) It was an ancient pedagogue And he stoppeth one of three : By thy long, grey beard and glittering eye Now wherefore stoppest thou me? He motioned and forsooth I went Along the dark hall too ; I listened while he turned the key, And felt somehow darned blue. I want a word with you, he said, About your essay, sir, You promised it some weeks ago It ' s due, that I aver. Yes sir, quite true, I meekly said, And watched with anxious eye The long, grey beard, and tried to think Of some good, truthful lie. I have it done, I tried to say And stole another look, I mean, I ' ll try to do it soon. My knees, they fairly shook. It was an ancient pedagogue, And he trembled in his wrath ; You have it in tomorrow, sir, Or death will cross your path. Tomorrow came, and all the day I sneaked from room to room ; Expecting surely he would come And bring with him my doom. He did not come, and once again I struggled through the night ; And when the rosy morning broke It brought a welcome sight. With essay done, I rushed to school And sought the dragon ' s lair ; And when I handed it to him Forsooth, I walked on air. I ' ve won, I ' ve won, my proud heart sang, I put one over him. But oh, the vanity of words — I ' m writing it again. A. J. L. Page seventy Anyroumin ' Hous, 20 Blow Zero ' en Still Droppin ' . Dere Jakie : You wiz wise not ter come to Normal. This is a worser plase than I ever hit before or afterward. As you know we hez ter go ter schule before daylite and then when we try ter git warm side of the radiator the wind blows in around the winders so hard thet it pretty near blows the books off in the desks. But thet ain ' t the worstest yet. Brite and early in sails Dr. Henshaw is scoutin ' around ter se if anybody ' s essay hez got loose. If it hez he catches it and when he brings it back the owner hez a hard time ter recognize it. It ' s all dolled up so. Then, economically speakin ' . Mr. Sinclair is so ' fraid he aim agoin ter make himself clear thet he talks so long ther afore he gits thru we hez all forgot what he started with, in the main. Another thing is when we ' s all in the study hall Mr. Shallies gits up and yells — Whar ' s yer excusr kard? Then 2 or 3 or 6 or 5 all gits up and starts at a sixty mile a minute gate fer his desk and there usually is sum confuzion. Then when thet gits settled he sings out, Jest calm down ' en rest a little. Thin jest as yer think maybe yer can rest sum, they marches yer inter what they calls assembly ter the tune of John Brown ' s Body er somethin ' similer. Then Miss Garrity gits up and direcks the musik especially the Amen and yer sit there an ' wonder if the faculty enjoys sittin ' up front and yer speculaten ' on the chances fur doin ' yer shorthand or somethin ' while Miss Garrity is besy with them Aniens. Thin when we marches out there ' s Miss Alice O ' Brien singin ' out Left-Rite- Left-Kite ' til yer dont no whar yer goin ' ner why. An then you ' ll hear a voice frum the library, Thet should have bin in at a quarter of 8. Well that ' s Miss Anne O ' Brien readin ' the rules and regulations ter sumbody. Another important thing there is Dr. Kitchell. His specialty is gettin ' the garbage on his floor kerlected free of charj by yellin ' at all his classes Dont leave any garbage on the froor! (He only hez the girls do this ' cause he thinks it ' s good future trainin ' fur ' em, ' cause he thinks the Lords of Creation will have no need of such trainin ' !) Then don ' t be scared if you ever comes here ' en one of the faculty greets you as a personal friend. It ' s only Mr. Thompson and he ' s done got so many pursonal friends, thet he mite take yer fur one easy as not. The longest thing here is Mr. Correll. If yer hears enyone proclaimin , Sure ez death ter the Commercialites yer ' ll no its Mr. Correll. Of course, it don ' t make eny particular difference. it ' s just a pet frase. Then sometime er other yer ' ll be sittin ' in the study hall nice as yer please and thin yer meditations is liable ter be interupted by .sum General Senior rushin ' wildly in after her overshoes. Then whin yer ask her sort of easy and cautious like if the buildin ' iz on fire er enything like thet she ' ll tell yer she ' s goin ' ter Cogan ' s fur Miss Steel ' cause she ' s out of shortenin ' she needs. But thet ain ' t all. Sumtime er other when you iz goin ' along yer ' ll hear sum- body singin ' out position affects form, distance affects size. It ' s Miss Andrews the drawin ' teacher, she ' s atryin ' ter teach them Generals ter draw so yer can tell what they intended it fur if by eny chance they forgits tre label it. An thin if yer hez time yer mite go down stairs ' en call on Mr. Taylor. He ' s the manual trainin ' teacher and he kin make enythin ' frum a needle book ter a telegraft pole. Thin there ' s Miss Carroll. She ' s the Geography teacher and kin tell yer why the climate in this part of the country ain ' t all it ' s advertised ter be. Fact is, she kin tel yer more Geography thin yer ever new existed. Page seventy-one Now, there ' s Mr. Hudson ' en he teaches nature study but I ain ' t diskivered jest whar all the Nonnalites desended frum yet. There must be more ' n one link missin ' in Darwin ' s Theory. He no ' s all ' bout bugs and birds and the moon and stars. He ' s very peaceful citizen an ' don ' t worry the life out of yer like sum of ' em here. Now, Jakie, just be patient ' cause I ' m all done but the finishing. Terday was movin ' day up ter Normal. We moves semiannually, what iver thet is, ' en sum moves quarterly, ' en sum is movin ' all the time. Well, Jakie, the last match they put in the furnace must hev been green ' cause it ' s gone out ' en I ' m goin ' ter bed ter keep warm. Maybe if prices goes down they kin git a lump of coal fur the furnace next week ' en I ' ll rite again. Confectionately yours, Jennie. Page seventy-tim Daddy Listen well and you shall hear A tale more thrilling than Paul Revere. ' Twas the winter of 1920 to ' 21 And not a Normalite under the sun Would care to endure it all again. Dr. Henshaw said, If you don ' t know That essays are due, I ' ll tell you so. And, if you get by, by hook or by crook It won ' t be because I don ' t look For you, in every place that might be A safe and welcome refuge from me. And mark ye well the date For hereby and dire will be your fate If by chance they should be late. And then, marching with squeeky tread Proceeded the line with feet like lead, Just as the music pealed thru the hall Sounding for assembly the dreaded call For we knew for certain that some classmate Would read an essay, as sure as fate. And we only wished we dared be late And with a fear that was magnified As each entered the door, he profoundly sighed. Meanwhile Daddy thru corridor and hall Hunted the Seniors who evaded his call. But immediately when assembly was out There stood Daddy gazing about. When into his vision came the line He hailed the offenders, one at a time And he hailed ' til he got nine. So thru the term the Seniors go Shadowed by Daddy high and low A siege of trouble and torture too. (This is not exaggerated but every bit true.) That voice from the shadows, that sight in the door Will stay with us forevermore. Coming to us out of the past Thru all our lives up to the last In whatever paths our feet are set Our essay days we ' ll ne ' er forget.

ROBART SPEAKS Did you ever notice my thick lips ? They denote sternness. Did you ever notice my beautiful skin? That shows what Pompeian Massage Cream will do for any girl. Did you ever notice my eyebrows? They are the result of being pulled out. All the girls who look well pull their eyebrows. Did you ever notice my nails? I use nail polish. Did you ever notice my high forehead? That denotes intelligence. Did you ever notice how well I enunciate my words when I am called on in Shorthand? That comes from my popularity in being called on to speak in public. (A POEM WITH A MORAL ENTITLED, SO THIS IS ROBY ) I ' m the best looking person that I ' ve ever seen, I like to look at me ; I like to sit and watch myself where every one may see. What care I if fellows slam me and say that I ' m a fake? When know that I ' m the greatest cheese, Of course I ' ll take the cake. I have to pal around alone, no girls will go with me, They say that I ' m a silly brag and shallow as can be. But I put in my idle hours at movies, church and Reds ; Page seventy-nine I don ' t speak 10 many folks, just look above their heads. I don ' t care what they think when I never speak to them I live in a world all by myself, I ' m not like other men. I brag a lot about my folks and about the place I ' m from, I don ' t like fellows here at school — they ' re homely, stupid, dumb. I know that I ' m the brightest boy in all our Senior Class, The rest are only jealous because they cannot throw the gas. Each night I run around to see a member of the Faculty ; There I slam my classmates, I slur every one I can ; My object is the honor roll: For I ' m an Honor Man. I ' m the most wonderful person that I ' ve ever known, And you surely must agree ; There ' s no one else in all this world, Who can quite compare with me. Moral : The Moral of the poem is, don ' t brag about your looks, Your home, your dress, your knowledge, your servants or your cooks. 1 f you are wealthy, handsome, wise — let other people tell All those things about yourself, on which you love to dwell. If you do not like the jokes And their dryness makes you groan Just stroll around occasionally With some good ones of your own. Reply to the Seniors The portals of the Pittsburgh State Normal School certainly echoed with a resounding knoc k on September 8, 1920. Dr. Hawkins, forgetting his usual dignity, rushed to open the door, and behold, there stood Opportunity in the form of the present magnificent and noble JUNIOR CLASS. You bold and brazen Seniors were over-awed by the calm, undemonstrative way in which we settled down and devoted our entire attention to the work in hand. You thought of course that we should follow you in your dark and mysterious methods. You were surprised that we did not look to you for aid at every turn and you sought to run our class by your own degraded principles of Tammany Hall politics. We needed no boss ; our class was like an ideal republic, wherein the voice of the majority was heard and heeded. You called us slow and laughed with scorn as we felt our way along during those first few months. We knew better than to follow in your footsteps and to rush in like fools where angels feared to tread. We did not trust you— do you Page eighty blame us? We wished to live our own lives, free from the disgrace and con- tamination which would certainly follow from association with you. Of course we must mention teaching and you must pardon us if we laugh doing so, for Charlie Chaplin has nothing on you for furnishing a cheap form of amusement. You sought to teach us — teach us, when every remark you made, every turn you took showed even to our inexperienced eyes that you knew absolutely nothing. Of course you were brazen even in your disgrace, for that ' s part of your make-up and helps you to get by : but we certainly learned nothing from you and have only deep pity for your pupils of next year. I doubt if any school ever turned out a more purely ornamental class of graduates, if you can really clai m such a dis- tinction. We have said nothing of the good example we sought to set before you, for modesty is another of our virtues ; and we hate to have the audience see how little good we accomplished. Perhaps down in your hearts you have profited by our earnestness, honesty and truth ; but in such hopeless degenerates, a good example can never be appreciated. We leave you now to go your divers ways, hoping that when as a unit you are no more, good will creep into your individual hearts and make you what we have endeavored to be — hard, ceaseless workers, toiling always under the fear of the Lord. May Success be your attendant spirit throughout life. M. J. Brennan. Mr. Thompson (in accounting class) — What does the term watered stock mean ? Mary Warner — Why ! It means cattle that are made to drink a lot of water before being sold, so that they ' ll weigh more. Mr. Sinclair — Where ' s Miss Lockwood? Dot Lewis — She ' s out with Dr. Henshaw. Dr. Kitchell (lecturing in School Economy) — Now here comes something quite peculiar. Just then Hazel Caplan walks in late for class. Student — Mr. Thompson, have you a piece of string? Mr. Thompson — Yes, a shoe string. Mr. Correll — Why don ' t you give her a piece of your line? Mr. Sinclair — Why is your book open Mr. O ' Connell ? Jimmy — Oh ! I was just looking up some stuff. Douglas — I saw a good picture of you the other day. Robart— Where ? Douglas — On a salmon can. Page eighty-one Mr. Thompson — Compare cold. Mike — Cold, cough, coffin. The Cardinal is a great invention, The school gets all the fame, The printer gets the money, And the staff gets all the blame. Little drops of wisdom, Printed on the desk. Makes some little Junior. Wiser than the rest. Edwin Robart, common noun. Parse him up and parse him down, Neuter gender, hopeless case. Object — just to take up space. Fan LaBombard was playing a ditty. One bright night in the fall, Someone took him for a kitty. And heaved a brick — that ' s all. Stratton (looking at shorthand papers) — Don ' t you wish you could change your marks? Abie — No, I don ' t believe so. Stratton — Gee! You ' ve got too good a conscience: as for mine, it is as good as new — I never use it. Playing Five Hundred Ruth A. — Cheer up. a poor beginning means a good ending. Julia H. — Yes. you know Abraham Lincoln was a poor boy. Mildred F. — Yes, and he was assassinated. Student — How much board do I owe you? Landlady — How long have you been in Normal ? On the way home from Montreal. Bunch singing Go Slow and Easy. Florence Fielding (heard from the rear) — Well, they sure go slow and easy with me all right. Studying Shorthand Foley — Haven ' t you heard that coffee is a stimulator? Clarkie — Why no, it ' s a percolator. Bob LeFaivre — I hear that you and Mary Warner had some words. Veda Cassidy — I had some, but 1 did not get a chance to use them. Page eighty-two Sunday Evening In the parlor there sat three : Doug, the parlor lamp, and she : Three ' s a crowd without a douht And so the parlor lamp went out. Ruth Kniskern — Hey, Lucille, don ' t set that tea so near the edge of the table. Lucille— Oh, that won ' t get knocked off. Ruth — No, but it is so weak that it might fall off. Mike — I have an idea. Senior — Treat it kindly, it is a stranger. In the Study Hall Junior — May I put the curtain down? The sun is shining in my face. Senior — Leave it up, the sun is good for green things. Dr. Henshaw — Come back boys, the bell has not rung yet. Art. — I heard some bell. Dr. Henshaw — I guess it was a dumb bell. Pat — Let ' s go into the library this period. Jazzie. Jazzie — We have been excluded from the library. Pat— What for? Jazzie — For doing nothing. The back of a gown, as you know. Could hardly be cut out too low ; And no matter how bony They look, to be tony, Let your slats and shoulder-blades show. Not Fast Color I saw a young man at the dance last night. With one cheek red, and the other white. My partner explained the mystery : The shimmy he danced makes him blush, said he. Mr. Thompson — What is a man called who sues another man?

Mr. Thompson — I do not know as I never was silent. Anna Lockwood, knocking at the Gate. St. Peter— Who is there? Anna— It is I. St. Peter — Oh. go to you ' re an old maid school marm. Little words of wisdom Many words of bluff Make the teachers think We know a lot of stuff. Mr. Thompson — What does artificial mean? Miss Hanley — Something that is not natural. Mr. Thompson — We have a number of examples here in class. Mike — Contrary to the decision of the Junior class today, you need not send those flowers to Mr. Ellis, as he is getting better. Tommy — What three words do you use most, Miss McCoy? Buzz — I don ' t know. Tommy — Correct. In Economics Class Miss Fielding — It is evidently very necessary for me to elucidate before I expunge my previous impression. Mr. Sinclair — Come down to earth and use words which the modern person can understand. It is pure ignorance to use big words which only the highly technical audience could understand. Miss Fielding (scornfully) — Such levity on the part of prospective peda- gogues is certainly malapropos. Page eighty-four I Rae Braw — Is there really a man in the moon? ' Murphy — Don ' t worry — there are plenty here on earth. A Common Occurrence Robart to a group of Normal fellows: Did you know that my father has put aside thousands of dollars for my education ? (No reply.) I intend to go right to Syracuse University and shall join the D Fra- ternity there. None of you fellows ever belonged to a frat, did you? I did. I belonged to the best Fraternity in the High School at Atlantic City. (No reply.) I was very popular in the High School at home. I was considered the best basketball player and the best football player in Atlantic City High School. (No reply.) It ' s a wonder you wouldn ' t have a Glee Club in the Normal School here. None of you fellows sing though, do you? I sing tenor. I sang in the Ascension Church choir at home. Funny the way you fellows dance here in Pittsburgh. Did you ever notice the way I dance? A good many people at Normal dances have told me how well I dance. Did you know that my— (But the bell for classes to pass must ring some time. It rang just then.) HOT AIR It was a very cold day at P. S. N. S. All the boys were standing near a radiator in the Accounting room. Al Desjardins said : A little Hot Air wouldn ' t go bad right now. Just then Robart came in. Ed. Stratton: Do you like to dance in this dark corner? Coy Junior : No, let ' s stop dancing. When a fellow is allowed to muss a girl ' s hair he considers it a net gain. She considers it a net loss. By the time a fellow is a Senior he starts to mend his ways, but still continues to send his torn socks home. Florence Fielding: I had the most wonderful dream last evening. Chorus: What was it all about. Florence? Florence: It was about Art Lyons, but I couldn ' t POSSIBLY tell you what it was. Page eighty-five Junior Class Poem Time, that eternal factor. Which marks the progress of all Seemed to us, oh endless ! In those days, last fall, When we as youthful Juniors Treaded first this Normal Hall. These days, oh Juniors ! Do you not recall ? Seldom did we think As the days were flying fast, That this day so soon would dawn When the Senior class, Would be gathered to their number Greeting each at last, With their words of farewell Recalling memories of the past. Ah, this day, is rich in meaning For the Seniors, we have known, For indeed they reap the glory Of the labors they have sown. And we Juniors, looking back, Know with fervor that we ' ve grown To be true and loyal always, To this school, we call our own. Oh Juniors dear, we look again To what the future holds. We hope next year at this glad time We will have reached our goal. So with thoughts of our past year Of memories choice, untold Mid hope and fear of the year to dawn The pages of our Junior year, we fold. Genevieve L. Ruby. Page eighty-six If you don ' t go to church you are not good. If you go to church you are a h ypocrite. If you dress shabbily you are a failure. If you dress well you are trying to bluff. If you don ' t give to charity you are a tightwad. If you do give to charity you do it for show. If you don ' t drink you are no kind of a regular guy. If you do drink you are not a desirable person to know. If you wear a beard it is to hide a homely face. If you are smooth shaven it is to try to look younger. If you take a girl to a show you are a fish. If you don ' t take her you are too cheap. If you lose a lot of money you are idiotic. If you make a lot of money you are a crook. If you toddle you are frivolous. If you don ' t toddle you are a back number. If you are poor you are no good. If you are rich you got it by robbing others. If you die you dissipate. If you live to a good old age you attained it through laziness. If, when you die you go to H — 1 it is because you deserved it. If, when you die you go to Heaven, you go there by mistake.

A Junior said that when she got through the receiving line at mid-year her breath came in short pants. Miss Garrity: At most of our dances we have punch but this year at the Hallowe ' en dance we had cider. Interested Listener: Oh. that was tough. Miss Garrity: No, it was hard. Mildred: What is a psychological moment? Ruth : Waking up just as the Prof, c alls your name. Page eighty-seven Junior Class Song We came from far and came from near The Senior class to tame They were quite wild, but don ' t you fear We ' ve done it all the same. We ' ve talked to them with smiles and tears It really did some good As Juniors we ' ve worked hard and long We ' ve done the best we could. Oh, you Seniors Still we grieve for you We hope you ' ll be a credit To the class of ' 22.

Scottie (correcting outlines on the board in shorthand) — What is wrong with Mr. Ellis ' where abouts? Scottie — You ' ll get sick drinking that water. Gen — I guess not, this is well water. In History of Commerce Class Mr. Sinclair — I give you my word, the next person who interrupts the class will be put out and ordered home. Buzz — Hooray ! Mr. Sinclair looked puzzled. Frank Tabor — My dear young mademoiselle, to speak of you with veracity shorn of all its dogmatic accretions, you have so infringed upon my cupidic con- sciousness that I have implicit confidence it will not be valedictory. Thus we see how we can change a simple thought into classic utterance with a mere fringe of literary amenities. Julia Hurley — Why is a Chinaman the greatest curiosity in the world? Mildred Foley — Perhaps it is because he has a head and tail at the same end. Page ninety Conductor — Your fare. Isabel E— You think so? He who intends to get up with the sun should not stay up all night with the daughter. Things We Would Like to Know Why Betty Trudeau goes to Dannemora so often ? Why Margaret Merritt goes to the skating rink so often? Why Al. Desjardins moved that the poles be closed in class meeting? Why that perpetual smile of Margaret Lallier ' s? Why Jack and Mike go to the Movies in the afternoon? Why Dot Tjeerdsma handed in a blank paper in Economics final ? Why Pat answers so promptly in class this year ? Dr. Kitchell — Can you tell me of anything of importance that did not exist one hundred years ago? Jack— Yes, I didn ' t. Dr. Henshaw — What invention put an end to knighthood? Helen Emperor — The automobile. Dr. Henshaw (after the laughter had subsided) — What in the world made you give that answer? Helen — I knew that horses were not used as much. Miss Andrews (to Dr. Henshaw, who had just looked in at the door of the room where her class was in session) — Will you join us? Dr. Henshaw — Who is the — happy man? When we overheard the sophisticated Dr. Kitchell direct the Juniors where to get the coloring matter they use for their maps, we couldn ' t help wondering whether the Doctor was speaking literally, or in slang. ' Twas the night before Accounting test And all through the houses The generals were hidden — as best They could, scared to death of the noises.

Our friend Miss Fielding — Please sir, pursue that man — he wanted to kiss me. Passing pedestrian — That ' s all right. There will be another along in a minute. Robart — They say I look educated when I wear glasses. Hester — Then I guess you sort o ' better wear ' em. Robart escorting Miss Croll from dinner at WILSON ' S — Now don ' t tell anyone that we went out to dinner. Miss Croll — Don ' t worry — I am as much ashamed of it as you are. Miss Fielding — Well, what did you thin k of my last poem? Lit. Editor — I am quite pleased to hear you call it your last. Mister Robart — Say, rather than remain single would you marry the biggest fool on earth? One of the Many — Oh Roby — This is so sudden. Doug — I never knew until last night what a bright fellow Mr. Robart is. Miss Lallier — How did you find it out then? ■Doug — Oh, he told me. Al D. — What happened to that little girl I saw you making love to in the hammock ? Tabe — Oh. we fell out. We Love ' Em Just the Same Even If: Tabe does sing louder than anyone else. Hazel Caplan giggles forever and ever. Kathleen Hanley talks loudly except when reciting. Alice Rovelle trys to change the rhythm of the march going out of assembly. Gertrude Frazer spends half of her time bluffing the mirror and the other half bluffing the faculty. Jane Prime just adores her morning snooze. The boys do forget what day of the week it is. Goldie McNeely is extravagant. Page ninety-three Junior Class History Looking back to the opening of school on September 8. 1920. when our re- markable class of 1922 assembled, we review our experiences during the Junior year. While the Seniors, swelled with the feeling of their importance, greeted each other and the faculty on that day. we read in their glances as they looked us over. The poor timid strangers, they are to be pitied. A few days passed and we became accustomed to the atmosphere. Also, if we had been a bit deceived by the self-assured way of the Seniors, the realization came to us as we associated with them, that their attitude was entirely assumed and that they weren ' t, after all. so vastly superior to us. On Friday, September 17, 1920. the first class meeting was held and the class officers chosen, Michael Brennan being selected as president. The class colors were chosen, old rose and silver being selected. The Junior class enjoys the distinction of being the largest (as well as the best) in the history of this institution, its membership being composed of ninety students, many from far distant parts of the state. The real history of the Junior class has been in the making since the opening day when we modestly took our places in this institution. It has been contributed to by our diligent and conscientious efforts day after day to do our work in an honorable and scholarly manner. We have won for ourselves the respect and approbation of the faculty ; what we have achieved we have well earned, nothing was given to us by the Seniors, for even though their feeble attempts at times to help us were well meant, we must say, not intending any unkindness to them, they were frequently as much a hindrance as a help! The work of the Fall term was so interesting, and so entirely devoted to it were we that Thanksgiving came and passed in a flash. In every one of us was embodied that peculiar feeling of contentment that comes with happy associations, enlightening studies and the influence of a group of eminent and highly respected instructors. As Christmas neared our thoughts reverted to our homes and parents, and we departed our several ways to enjoy the well-earned vacation. We returned with renewed vigor and determination to keep up our high standards. On January 21st, the annual Mid-year ball was held and judging from the large attendance and the late hour to which the dance was extended, it was a most decided success. Before the Faster vacation, the selection of the class ring was undertaken; and the ring chosen was only another result of the highly refined taste and intelli- gence of this notable class. Page ninety-four Then came the composition and singing of the class song, written by Miss Hildegarde Smalley. and ably sung by the class under her direction. Throughout the entire year we have tried to maintain a spirit of cooperation with the Seniors ; and. however much we may have smarted at times under their taunts, we have peaceably gone our way. bearing no malice and deriving our satis- faction from the well-earned results of our painstaking study. Now that we are nearing the end of our Junior year, we cannot do otherwise than look back on these happy weeks with pleasant memories. For the Seniors who leave this June, we have nothing but best wishes for their success. Though it is a most lamentable fact that they are not all that they could have been or what we would have them, nevertheless, we trust that they have profited some- what by the honest manner in which the Juniors have gained their success. We look forward with eagerness to the opening of school next September, when, as Seniors, we will have the privilege of extending a greeting to the Juniors who enter upon their three years ' course; and we take great pride and satisfaction in knowing that we have the true spirit that should dominate the activities of fellowstudents. May our Senior year be only a continuation of the good work of our Junior year. Homer Wright. I f you want to know, Ask : Genevieve Carey where she got her rats. Lee F. where he got those glasses.
