A GTentfj Cbttton GTfje Carbtnal 1923 A Young folks, tin- age has need of you. You have been fitted for a craft. Unique, and nobler than the jobs They get who seek an easy graft . You have renounced the cult of them Who count success in terms of train; Your recompense shall finer be Than all the gold of mart or main. No footings on a balance sheet The value of your art can show : For yours shall be the high reward That only they who serve may know. Your Master-Craftsman, long ago. Forever blazed your shining way: The urgent truth that he revealed. Unchanged remaiueth to this day: In seeking things, men miss their goal. And lose their lives in emptiness; Enduring worth is only gained Through constant self-forgetfu lness . This is the hidden mystery Each generation must be taught ; Its incarnation you must be, — Each life a winsome, living thought. Think not that every service fine, That you may render to the. age, Will noticed be and bring to you A plaudit as your rightful wage. Only through failure, toil, and sweat. Through having truly dared great things. Do men attain that discipline, That brawn of soul, of uncrowned kings. Hence to your best be ever true. For what you are shall never die; The youth you ' ll teach will build of you Their living temples, clean and high. Then fare ye forth ! ' Tis such as you Shall fashion on some finer plan, Than ever yet has been devised. The coming golden age of man. Let not the subjects you may teach Obscure the far horizon line; Subjects are. but the tools you ' ll use In shaping souls that are divine,- Dull tools whose harsh lines need the touch Of friendship, patience, mirth, and play. Farewell ! So live that what you are Exalts the worth of what you say. Sebtcatton an expression of friendship and in recognition of his inspiring influence the Class of 1923 dedicates this edition of the Cardinal to Mr. Edwin L. Taylor. Edwin L. Taylor. jflr. €btotn I. Captor Edwin L. Taylor, Head of the Department of Industrial Arts in the Platts- burgh State Normal School, was horn at Leon, Cattaraugus, Co.. N. Y. His academic studies were pursued at Chamberlain Institute. Randolph, N. Y.. where he com- pleted both the Regents ' Academic Course and a special course in elocution and ex- pression. Having a natural born interest in farming lie engaged for a lime- in that oc- cupation and took a short course in Agriculture in the New York Slate Agricultural College at Cornell University. It was during this course that his touch with shop- work in Sibley College directed bis interests in a new channel eventually leading him to select the teaching of Industrial Arts as a profession. He lias the distinction of being one of the first class to be graduated from the Normal Course in Industrial Arts at the Mechanics Institute of Rochester, N. Y.. a course whose Alumni possess an ' enviable record for leadership in the field of In- dustrial Arts education. Upon his graduation. Mr. Taylor accepted an instructor- ship in tin- Manual Training department of the institution whose normal course he had so recently completed. This position he resigned at the end of a year to accept his present place on the faculty of the State Normal School at Plattsburgh. Com- mencement. 192!!. marks the close of his seventeenth year of service in this relation- ship. Not only is Mr. Taylor, by profession an educator hut he is also a clergyman, having been actively 80 engaged for the past ten years. At present he is entering his sixth year as pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Morrisonville, N. Y., is an ordained minister and a member of the Troy Annual Conference. HO B Jforetoorb HE Cardinal Staff of 1923 sincerely hopes that this volume will give pleas- ure to all members of the school, both now and in years to come. It would not have been possible for us to have accomplished our task without the help of many of you. You are already aware that we have aimed to have this truly a school year book—one, of which you may be proud. Qreetings — Classmates and friends.

If we could turn hack the wheels of time today and read the History of the State Normal School as the swift years whirl by again, we should find that a domi- nant personality had so entered the life of the institution and had caught such a vision that the School would he the work of his hands and the establishment of his intellect and heart. As we look forward into the future in the heyday of our youth we rejoice that we can carry with us so much of the vigor and radiating influence of our honored and beloved Principal. Today we bring the enrichment of our lives from Alma Mater and lay them before the world for service therein- seeking to perpetuate the influence of the work that has been wrought upon us through the masterful wisdom and keen foresight of Dr. George K. Hawkins who now completes twenty-five years of educational states- manship as Principal of the State Normal School at Plattshurgh. 9 It lias been no purpose of ours to mold you into merely cloistered students habituated solely to the con- templation of the eternal worth of thought and the pre- eminence of the prophet and the seer . We have planned for you an intensely constructive career which shall have small space for egoism and shall require that you employ your highest cultural possessions of intellect and heart as instruments to he used in tangible and synthetic fashion for the positive betterment of that portion of the world in which your lot may fall. It is our trust that you will meet your serious duties with industry, with earnestness and with wisdom — with the patriotic devotion of highbred Americans and with all the bold initiative which is characteristic of America at her best. 1U THE CA RD1 NAI {Tijc ong of tlje ftemor (Wifh due apology to ttoberi W. Serviee) When the long, long course is over and the day of Commencement comes. And 1 know that il will be regretful to part with dear Normal and thee All I ' ll need then is a contract, a contract signed by me. Look at my hands, ink-spattered, look at my furrowed brow; Doctor. I ' ve done thy bidding, did il as best ' knew how. Night after night have I labored, by the aid of a flickering light: I ' ve done thy desire with spirited tire; I await the results of the tight. I have used the knowledge thou hast giv en, thou knowest this to be true. Two long years of labor — I have served them and am through. And now. Oh! Doctor. I ' m tired and lonely and bent and marred. Rut I ' ve done my work, and thou knowest, and thou will not judge me hard. Thou knowest my failings are many, and often I ' ve played the fool Tor oft and anon on test days, I ' ve neglected to conic to school. I was wasteful with time in those days. I killed it with nary a care. Going to movies and dances, or buying something foolish to wear. Then after a test, back rcpentent. back to the long day ' s grind, I. the student of students, everything in my mind. Everything there hut study ( I ' d no idea what it meant). A youth with a youth ' s understanding, so day alter day came and went ; Never a night that I stayed in. could I settle down to my task; Always something to bother, always a question to ask. A youth with youth ' s ambitions, I ' d no intentions to shirk — Yet I ' d gladly have given anything, to he able to get down to work. I. with a thirst for knowledge, yet young and carefree and gay — Yet how I did long to be learned, to get in Life ' s Game and play ! Well, ' tis thy school, and thou knowest. Thy kindly advice I did spurn: Hut I ' ve done my work as I got it. and I ' ve done my best to learn; I. a youth, one of many, who go groping through life for the light. Searching where ' er I happen, striving with all of my might: Struggling on. uncomplaining, working with jealous content; Slaving from daylight to darkness, spurning the thought to relent; Driving fiercely on to the finish, preparing a seat in the sun. Defiant, resolute, unrelcntless. ' til the work of life is done. Doctor. I ' ve complied with thy wishes, the decision must he your own; Not by my faults wilt thou judge me. hut by the spirit I ' ve shown. Doctor. I ' ve done thy bidding, and my days at Normal arc few. And the looked-for day is coming- may all my wishes come true; Doctor. I ' ve made an enviable friendship— a friendship — with you. I hope that it won ' t be lying, to say all my work is done.

II g TH E CA R D I N AL The gift of the Class of 1923 to their Alma Mater consists of the central pane] in a group of mural paint- ings that through the cooperation of succeeding classes will eventually grace the front of Normal Hall. These murals, which are painted especially for this purpose by George Lawrence Nelson of New York City, have as their central theme the Graduate-Teacher. The above engraving is from the artist ' s first pen drawing. This drawing has since heen slightly modified yet the engrav- ing conveys a fairly good idea of the composition of the panel which will be ten feet in height and six in width. The panel depicts the Graduate-Teacher in the act of receiving his credentials from the hand of a symbolic figure of the State who is pointing to the Alma Mater seated above. The Alma Mater holds a tablet on which she is inscribing the names of her illustrious sons and daughters. On either side of her are .symbolic figures of application and industry as pertaining to the acquisi- tion of education. These are respectively a young woman studying from a hook and a young man working with dividers upon an unfinished plan. Panels to be added later are to be all related to the central unit in a very definite manner. The whole arrangement when framed will occupy a space 12 feet in height and 25 in length adequately and inspiringly decorating the most commanding wall space in the entire school. 13 I { tEfje Jfacultp George K.

Thus do we walk with her and keep unbroken The bond which Nature gives: Thinking that our remembrance, though unspoken May reach her where she lives. There is no Death — what seems so is transition ; This life of mortal breath is but a suburb of the life elysian ! Whose portal we call Death. In that great Cloister ' s stillness and seclusion. By guardian angels led; Safe from temptation, safe from sin ' s pollution She lives — whom we call dead ! — Longfellow. A, da fttsftorp ' The smallest bark on life ' s tumultuous ocean W ill leave a traek behind for evermore; The lightest wave of influence, set in motion. Extends and widens to the eternal shore; We should be wary, then, who go before A Myriad yet to be; and we should take Our bearing carefully where breakers roar And fearful tempests gather; one mistake May wrcek unnumbered barks that follow in our wake. So might we compare the past two years of our lives with the scenes of a voyage, tin- en d of which is near at hand. On the morning of September 13. 1921, we set sail in our small bark on life ' s broad ocean, when about one hundred twenty-five sailors filed into the corridors and classrooms of the State Normal School to begin what wc antieipated. a successful voyage. Although we were young and inexperienced and although we hadn ' t among our crew any Christopher Columbus, Balboa or DeSoto. yet we had the courage of our convictions that we learn to do by doing and so launched bravely out with the greatest of confidence and security. The first few weeks of Normal School life was indeed a novelty for some; others longed for home and home surroundings. At the close of the social season homesickness had become extinct and both Generals and Commercialites took up their oars with care to ply the sea of duty. Wc kept in mind the saying of Carlylc, Do the duty which lies nearest thee, which thou knowest to be a duty. The second duty will already have become clearer. Early in the year the Junior class was organized. Edwin Andrews was elected President, Eleanor Smith, Vice-President, Edward Dodds. Secretary and Lillian Finnegan, Treasurer. Under the leadership of these officers our bark sailed along with great rapidity. Mr. Andrews, like Christopher Columbus, realized the re- sponsibility of such a position from the first and kept the interest of everyone in mind. Soon the holidays were at hand anl after a few days of recreation the Junior class resumed its noble work with greater vim than previously. However, it was willi sadness that we recorded one well-beloved member of the Junior class, Helen Council, missing in our roll-call. O not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that day : ' Twas an angel visited the green earth. And took our class-mate awav. It makes us grieve to think that one so young should die and leave unfinished what she might have achieved. Midyear with all that it meant to us proved to be a breaker, but with few ex- ceptions the Junior class sailed safely through. E CARDINAlTcj fek, Following this tedious period we wore favored with a little pleasure whicli took tlie form of a mid-year dance. After a great deal of commendable preparation on the part of both Juniors and Seniors, the never-to-be-forgotten evening arrived on February 10. Several basketball teams were formed among the students and brought much praise from every spectator who watched them. On color day at chapel time, the Juniors quickly showed what a wide-awake class they were by giving their class song and yells. Being fully surprised, the Seniors could not give a yell in return. June 15 was the Junior Prom . The gymnasium was very prettily decorated in our noble colors of blue and gray. With the good music and the gay couples the evening proved to lie a great success as all the other Junior affairs had been. Onward the Junior class sailed until we were fully aware that the first half of our voyage was successfully passed. Friendships had sprung up between the classes that were about to be severed although we noted the Seniors ' short-comings, yet we knew their good points outweighed their weaker ones, and it was with sadness that we greeted commencement and bade them farewell and God-speed. In September, 1922, after a very delightful summer ' s vacation, our crew was almost all together again to renew now final voyage. Now, we were Seniors, Now, we were to guide and encourage those entrusted to our care, namely, the Juniors. It was very hard for them to realize that they had hills to climb and rough roads to cross, if they ever attained the name of Seniors. The usual social activities pre-dominated for the first few weeks until the Juniors became accustomed to living without t heir mothers. The members of our voyage then re-organized and as .Mr. Andrews served us with such ability during our Junior year, we chose him as our Senior President. All too soon the time Hew by and midyear with its trials was again upon our tracks. The Seniors naturally optimistic and knowing something of the work of the preceding year managed to survive as usual. The second semester rolled around and on the morning of March II as wc had surprised the Senior class last year we surprised the Juniors this year by giving our class song and our class yell. They had no song or yell so they could just clap their hands and roll their thumbs. Days slipped into weeks and weeks into months until the end of our school days was at hand. Although these two years have been rilled with tempests and breakers, they have been pleasant ones. Now that our voyage is about to end we wish to thank all those that have made it possible for us to succeed in our undertaking. Our voyage together has joined us more closely as a class and has deepened our friendships which will last through life. We will say with H. XV. Kmerson. We do not believe there is any force in today to rival or recreate that beautiful yesterday. We linger in the ruins of the old ship, where once we had bread and shelter and organs, nor believe that the spirit can feed, cover and nerve us again. Wc cannot find aught so dear, so sweet, so graceful. Hut we sit and weep in vain. The voice of the Almighty saith, Up and Onward for evermore . Wc cannot stay amid the ruins. Veun E. Bhadlkv. 52 If We I urn back to the dusty pages of the most ancient books, we read of wise nu n. whose mission was to pro phesy the truth to the people. Unfortunately, for a prophet especially, it was not always feasible and advis- able to tell the truth. We read that some of the greatest prophets, who foretold the future more clearly and more truly than others were put to death by the most cruel and fiendish methods. The crowds acted this way towards those excelling in this noble work because if they were to believe in them it would interfere with some of their pleasures and fancies. When I was advised that I had been chosen as class prophet, all that 1 had read concerning prophets flashed before my mind and it seemed so frightful and over- whelming that I was simply dazed. For the moment I realized and believed that I should receive the same treatment that some of my great predecessors had undergone and as a result of this realization. I weakened and went into a deep trance. What followed I can remember only as a long dream, or rather two dreams. With your kind permission I shall endeavor to relate them. My first dream is certainly one that I shall always remember. It has been, as it were, indelibly engraved in my memory. I dreamed of today of this very moment; but Alas! the audience was a very different one. Instead of smiling faces as I see you today I faced a threatening, shrieking mob. Nevertheless 1 was compelled to continue and fulfill my task. As I depicted the future of each one of my erstwhile friends, it seemed that every word 1 uttered was like oil added to an already raging fire. The strain was beginning to tell on inc. but just as I thought I was lost for- ever, and as I was about to succumb to the (aunts and insults, the mist before my mind cleared for an instant and oh! the inexpressible relief thai I experienced when I beheld that my champion I.il Finnegan had come to save me. She carried me to my room and soothed my feverish brain. She then comforted me with kind WOrds and insisted upon my taking a vial which she assured me would quiet my excited nerves and would carry me into a far more interesting dreamland. Then followed my second dream and it was. indeed, as pleasant and interesting as the first one had been fearful and repulsive. I was conveyed into another world and there I saw as in a book what the future had in store for each and everyone of us. Mary Bchan and Eleanor Webb are keeping bachelor apartments in New York City. We are glad their fond hopes and ambitions have been realized. Verne Bradley is married to an Earl . The best was certainly none too good for Verne. Blanche Brunei le is now in the Old Ladies Home. She has organized a basketball team there but it takes all the pep she ever had to be successful in such an under- taking. Edna Charlebois has her Vic and is happy listening to Her Master ' s Voice . Of course I ' aderewski is dead, but his death was not mourned long because Ruth Courier was able to take his place. Alida Densmore is now playing in the Ziegfeld Follies. Who would ever have thought she would turn out that wav. J the cardinal Gladys Cooke is now taking her mother-in-law ' s place. There is always a great rush to get room and hoard there. Evidently Cookie. believes that one good turn deserves another. Rutli Gray has moved to Pennsylvania where the motto is. Please Go Away and Let Me Sleep. Margaret Dwyer is now a Supervisor of Sixth Grade geography. Her specialty is showing slides of South America. Ah! here we are in a large theatre. The applause is deafening. We look up on the stage and see the Balcony Scene in Shakespeare ' s Borneo and Juliet . Of course Lil Finnegan i s playing Juliet. Who can her Romeo be? Helen McLaughlins affec- tions are at last tied. Even though it did take a Locke to do it. Ellen Eorrence is now keeping house. She was getting plenty of practice when we knew her. Ruth Consaul is still well and strange as it must be George is feeding her prunes. Stella Downs and Selma Hoffman have a school modelled after Angela Patri ' s. They argue a good deal about who is the most competent teacher but still it is quite a ichool. Eleanor Swanick is still telling jokes. Anna Flannigan is with her yet and laughs at them as much as ever. Margaret Fyans is teaching in a district school near Ausable Forks. There must be some attraction there. What is this ? We are being taken across the ocean too? Oh yes! Porto Rico. Someone is waving to us on shore. W hy ! it is Grace Karl or course. She is as small as ever and we can hardly recognize her with her kindergarten class of little Porto Ricans. Helen Holland is driving a taxi between Plattsburgh and Peru. She. must know the road quite well by this time. She was quite well acquainted with it in our Normal School days. Edith Kelly is now a partner in Lenegen ' s Grocery Store . Addie Goodale is now living in Syracuse. There is a doctor ' s sign on the bouse, so Ada must have been true to him. Julia Haley is now teaching in Gcncsco, the only Normal School in the state. Martha Zimmerman and Peggy King are in charge of Leonard ' s Dancing Academy and are very successful. No doubt, they still have to thank the Normal students for their prosperity. Arleeta Knickerbocker is now bead of the Commercial Department. That is not surprising though. Everyone predicted a great future for her. Mildred Parsons and Kathryn Vaughan are now filling the Misses Barker ' s positions, and although Dorthea Letson and Helena Meban tried for the positions they had to be satisfied with being principals of the Elm and Broad Streets schools. Mae Mannigan is now drawing teacher in P. S. N. S. She cer- tainlv got a good start while practice teaching in the 7th grade. Gladys Mulholland is selling a tonic that will make one. get thin quick and although it has done Gladys no good it might do wonders for others. Mary Otis is now running errands for some firm. She. got good practice while in the 1st grade at the Normal. The Misses O ' Flynn and Renison are now running an Elite Fashion Shop. They al- ways were great on styles anyway. Wilhelmina Pfister and Hazel Snyder are now in some college in California. They evidently believe that Variety is the spice of life . Mary Reardon has married her Nelson and is now a Courier between Plattsburgh and Rouses Point. Agnes Powers is still the sweet girl she was when we knew her even though she does like airs (Ayres). Genevieve Rob inson is now a sculptor and is making a bust to replace the one she broke in the Study Hall. Alyce Ryan is now running an alarm clock factory. These alarms are sure to ring. Alyce realizes the necessity of getting to school on time and is now helping humanity with 54 c THE CARDINAL her wonderful invention. Esther Seymour lias at last reached perfection in the art of delivery — of speech we mean. Her voice was very low when she delivered her essav. Dorothv Rice is now teaching in the School for Defective Children in Vineland, N. .). The Misses Slade and Kirhv are teaching in a Consolidated School. Mr. Shallies always said that was where we (Generals) would he in years to come. Bcrnie Darrah, our Class Manager, has lost his joh. He married Helen Purdv and she does all the managing there is to be done. We are not surprised to hear of Hazel Smith ' s marriage. She had a diamond while in the Normal and we knew she ' d be true. Ralph Bullis has taken Mr. Shallies ' place in P. S. N. S.. and will see the girls for (Conferences) at any hour. Hush! There ' s music in the air. Why it ' s Mr. Hainfeld! He is now playing the mandolin in the Rcdpatli Chautau- qua. Elsie Smith is directing the man who plays the flute in the New York Symphony Orchestra. Elsie can direct most people it seems. Kenneth Locke is quite a cripple by this time. It ' s his own fault though. Everyone knows what tempers red-haired people have. Helen Scott ' s ambitions have been realized and she is now Poet Laureate . Bill McGaulley is now teaching in a school for the Deaf and Dumb. He never could understand how people could talk so much and never give him a chance. Janet Weaver is writing a book on How to Boss and Still Have Friends. She. is dedicating it to Anne Braw. No doubt there will be some good advice in it. Tom Brown is now in the movies and whoever has seen Wallace Reid in The Charm School will appreciate the picture much more with Tom playing Wally ' s part. The Misses Gladys Huntley. Edna Lucas and Delia Thurlow are critic teachers in P. S. N. S. They shouldn ' t be too hard on the pupil teachers if their memories do not fail them when they think how they used to shiver and shake . The Misses Eederman. Wladis. Roekovitz and Mrs. French are all very successful in their chosen profession. They are well supervised in their work by Harold Benway and Michael Brennan. I.eda Mock and Edna Schenkel have opened hair-dressing parlors. Special rates to Normal girls . The Turkish ques- tion is still unsettled in Europe but Helen Weed settled her question with a Turk long ago and is now enjoying the bliss of wedded life. Edward Dodds is now librarian in P. S. N. S. Good looking girls may return their books at any hour. day. month or year. My second dream was so pleasant that I was sorry when I awoke. Had I known at first, the pleasant future in store for each one of my classmates I am sure that I should have been delighted to reveal the future instead of being d.azed and frightened as I was.

Y.. being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a Crammed mind, well-trained memory and superhuman understanding, do make public, this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made. As to such estates as we. possess, we do dispose of the same as follows: In general, we bestow upon the lifeless, pepless inmates otherwise known as Juniors that infect this institution the profuse and profound judgment with which two years of Herculean toil have saturated us. First and foremost we leave you an abundance of Pep — you probably do not know what this is. Pep is animated life displayed by Seniors, never by Juniors. Secondly we most generously leave you a Class Song to the tune of Blue Just Blue but perhaps it would be advisable to change the title to Green Just Green . Thirdly we very liberally leave you a Class Yell. For example, hen- is one of iurs : Yell! Yell! Sing! Sing! Stag! Raise our Banner and Fling! Fling! Fling! For we have the Juniors on a String! String! String! Because their bells don ' t Ring! Ring! Ring! (A dumb bell never rings.) In particular we make the following bequests: To -Mr. Francis Brennan — An alarm clock so he will wake up in time to find out that the Juniors are supposed to have a Class Song and a Class Yell — seeing that Kalic neglected her duty as Advisor to the President on that occasion. To Miss Evelyn Pettingill — A handkerchief so she will not have to holler con- tinually, Mamma, blow my nose.

Who ' ll Take the Place of Mary. To Miss Mildred Walker — A hair ribbon to tie up her curls. To Miss Rita Rooney — An exclamation point for her forehead, the question mark is getting tiresome. To Miss Bertha Bullis — An eraser to eradicate thai smile. 56 To Mr. Adolf Pfisterer — A copy of the story about the man in Virginia who got $25.00 for minding his own business. To Miss Marjorie Brace — A position as mail carrier in P. S. N. S.. as she per- formed her position as mail carrier to the Seniors so proficiently. To Miss Galdys Baker — A position in Miller ' s orchestra blowing a horn. To Miss Helen Ausman — Our appreciation for relieving us of so many Juniors during quarantine. To Miss Mary Quinlan — A lemon squeezer for her crushes. To Mr. Philip Hawkins — Five dollars with which to buy a Mallory hat so he won ' t forget Erma. To Miss Pauline Gailcy — A position as saleslady in Sharron ' s store with a Victor by her side. To Mr. Francis Gallagher — A safe deposit box for the Senior Banner also the privilege of throwing all the hot air he wishes. To Miss Dorothy Henry — A Sears-Roebuck catalogue so she will not have to make a hurried trip to Brooklyn to purchase some new gowns. To Miss Marion Cronin — A catcher ' s mask so she will not get another black eve lighting with .Johnny next year. To Miss Mary Powers — A set of Walter Camp ' s reducing records. To Miss Mary Morrissey — A life contract teaching shorthand of Mr. Jones. To Miss Kathyrn Sullivan — A bottle of glue to hold Tellier to the dates thai he makes.

To Miss Mary O ' Sullivan — A fashion book — long skirts are in style now. To Miss Sylvia Johnson — Some tin curlers to keep her hair always in curl. To Mr. Harold Stratton — Some springs for his feet to enable him to take Tom Brown ' s position as center on the basketball team next year. To Miss Lillian Pardy — A standing invitation from Horace to the sugar bush every year. To Miss Lulu Finnigan and Miss Mary Caffrey — Our very best wishes. To Miss Maude Fifield — An eyebrow pencil to keep those eyebrows ever black. To Mr. John O ' Connell — A Bovine Lavalier (Cowbell) so Miss Ketch urn can find you after school. To Miss Elizabeth De Lisle — A little kitten to take the place of the numerous cats ' pictures on her wall. To Miss Aileen Rockwell — A pocket edition of What Is a Vamp?

To Miss Mary Grimes — An interest in an orphan asylum as she has bad so much practice mothering the small Juniors who roomed at I.oso ' s. To Miss Laura Sorrell — A round-trip ticket to Peru to visit her angel. (Gabriel). To the Faculty we give our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our hearti- est gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. In witness whereof we, the Class of 1923 the testators, have to this our will set our hand and seal this twenty-first day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty -three.

September 13. 1922. the intelligent and dignified Senior class has been doing its utmost to show you adolescent Juniors the proper manner in which you must prepare for your future profession, and it is only on account of our untiring efforts that you are now able to appreciate our leadership and to hope some day that leadership will be thrust upon you. When we held our first class meeting a few of your representatives were loiter- ing in the halls and as the air resounded with our gifted speech you were able to get enough information to hold a meeting of your own. Perhaps you elected officers but. if so, we have never heard from them. In our hearts wc had a tender feeling for you poor misguided children and our beautiful banner was hung in the girls ' study hall in order that our colors, blue and silver, might lead you on to greater things. The Senior dance, naturally, was a great success and the leading newspapers spoke very highly of it. We thank you. Juniors, for the manner in which you con- ducted yourselves at so wonderful a social function. The orchestra was the verv best obtainable and your feet were bound to lead you in the right direction. Although you were given many hours of entertainment a few of your poor home- sick lads took our magnificent banner from the wall and carried it home with them where, every night, they would gaze upon it and thus get an inspiration for their daily work. The remainder of the Junior class was soon affected by its absence and informed us as to its whereabouts. The young men of the Senior class did not lose any time and on the evening of the Junior dance, under their very intellectual and alert leaders, they soon had the majority of the male specie of their underclass- men under lock and key, wishing that they could attend the dance instead of being in the back room of a hotel where they could do nothing but grumble. What else may have happened that night only the Juniors will tell. Anyway, the Seniors 1 banner was back in school the very next day and the Seniors were victorious as usual. Juniors, you have been ambitious along certain lines but you reached vour limit when you had the audacity to pit your juvenile basketball team against that of your superiors. When the game was over the score proved that the Seniors were the school champions. How reckless you were when you played the Normal High School and were beaten so decisively. You surely did your best when you gave your dance. Everything turned out as we had expected — a poorly waxed floor, a depleted orchestra and a small attendance. We won ' t say a thing about your decorations, considering it was your first attempt. The January examinations certainly proved to us that you knew less than the average Normal School student. We. tried our best to educate you but all that we can say is Rousseau was right and you should have taken up the beautiful works of nature before undertaking this course. However, you could not fool the State authorities and you are obliged to remain here for three years instead of the usual 59 two. You have achieved one thing: You are the first class that was ever compelled to take a three-year course in the Plattsburgh State Normal School. You surely need il and. if you do manage lo graduate at the end of that time, do not forget ihat sonic of your present upperclassmen will he in a position to make or break you. Before your time is up do not forget to have a class song no matter if you borrow ours. How enthusiastically you applauded when, under the leadership of Miss Markham, our song was rendered by the student body to the accompanying strains of our most talented orchestra. Of course, everyone expected you to sing your song but you did not have one. We then gave our yell and you sat back in your seats wishing that you had some of our pep . In a few days we shall leave you to your fate. We leave behind us the noble deeds of a model class and we sincerely hope that you will follow in our footsteps and be a credit to your Alma Mater. You an ' young and, as one of your colors signify, very green in the world. You have much to learn and little to forget. We shall always be interested to know what you are doing here and though our duties take us to new fields we wish you the best of luck during the next two years of your training as teachers. The profession needs men and women who are capable of acting upon their own initiative and we advise you to turn over a new leaf. For your motto you could find nothing better than The Class of ' 23 . 15. T. Claste ©ration The time is past, if it ever existed, when a nation is justified in upholding a policy of isolation. Modern inventions and commerce have drawn all parts of the world more closely together than any two adjoining countries could have been in mcdia ' val times. We arc in a world of service — each country must cooperate for the good of all. America, as a leading nation of the world, is in a position to render the greatest service to mankind. Mankind is looking to her for leadership. She has the wealth, she has the youth, she has the energy, and greatest of all she has high ideals — those ideals that have made America the nation that she is. that proclaim that every people have the right to live their own life under the government which they themselves choose I set up. that champion the rights of the weak, and that stand for open and fair dealing. It is these ideals and principles that the nations of the world need today — the principles upon which world politics must he based — and it is clear that America whose government, educational system, and institutions are founded on these principles must offer her services aS a teacher of all nations. YVc must assume this leadership, based upon new moral principles and a new ideal of national service. All our lives, we have cultivated the opinion in America that we had nothing to do with the rest of the world, and with Europe in particular. We must abolish this selfish idea and play our hand in world politics, not in its old world intrigues, huidins. and sorrows, hut in the inevitable way to leadership — to a leadership so great in the service of humanity, that it will ask nothing but to serve. Hut you may say this is a world of cold, hard facts, not of ideals. What has the United States done to prove that she can assume this leadership? By the sheer genius of our people and the growth of our power we have be- come a determining factor in the history of mankind. The part played by us in the World War gave us the foremost place among the nations of the world. After the war we were asked to assume the responsibility of drawing up a peace treaty. Our ideals were respected by every nation of the world. Every nation believed that we would draw up a treaty giving justice to all. A peace commission was appointed which left for Europe and alter many weeks of hard work produced a treaty. Hut it was not a treaty c onforming to the highest ideals of mankind. It reflected much of the selfishness and hatred of the nations. One must not believe that it was the statesmen who failed humanity in drawing up this treaty. Rather, it was the spirit of the people behind them that failed. All the nations had not yet caught the vision. Since then it seems that we as a nation have not put our whole soul and energy into serving mankind for America now stands selfishly, hesitating to perform her world mission of service. Hut she must not fail ! She must take the place for which she is so abundantly fitted and lift the nations to a place of world peace and world brotherhood, to a greater civilization than has yet been. This generation, coming generations, all people must be made to sec that we arc in a world of one unit and 61 — ■ — — — 5a£, the CARD 11 that a nation ' s greatness is measured by its ability to serve. But world management is a big, vague, indefinite, sort of question and you may ask. what can I do? How can I help in America ' s gigantic work? Our services will consist in creating a sentiment for justice, for the brotherhood of man, for Up- right living, for correct reasoning, and serious thinking, so that when there is an- other conference of world powers the spirit of the people behind the statesmen will not fail humanity. We can create this sentiment by our daily teaching. The work may seem monotonous, we may not always be in the limelight, our work may not be appre- ciated, but we must not despair. So many are toiling and struggling for that which endures but for a day ! They are struggling to accumulate wealth, to do something that will reflect their greatness. Not so with our work. Ours is an invisible work for as some poet has said. Teachers are builders of immortal souls. But service is the teacher ' s heritage. It has come down to you and me through all the ages. As in a vision I see a vast throng of teachers — teachers who have served the world, who have inspired mankind. I see Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. Jesus Christ, the great spiritual teacher, Erasmus, Pestalozzi, Horace Mann, the teachers of today. I see you too, my classmates, just entering the field of service. Bernard E. Lavione. Oration It is with hearts filled with honor and regret that we gather here to add the final pledge to our Alma Mater. We have looked forward to this day with eagerness, but now that it is here, we experience a feeling of deep regret. The bond of companionship may be broken, but our many true friendships shall endure. Our Normal School days have been pleasantly associated, and as we look back upon our tasks and failures, which at the time seemed so dark, they appear today as mere trifles. We must now face the great school of life. We will fail or be success- ful in so far as we have worked to place our foundation upon a firm rack of knowl- edge. Our success in completing our courses has been largely due to the skilful teach- ing and encouragement of our Normal School instructors. To them we extend our sincere gratitude. May this ivy .symbolize the hopes and aims of the class of 1923. May it take firm root and flourish through the years to come, as we hope the spirit of our class will live. Arleeta Knickerbocker. 62 6 GfeTHE CARE Schoolmates, .Members of the Faculty, and Friends: Let us venture into the realm of iniagination. Suppose, for example, that there were only one school in the United .States. Suppose, furthermore, in this school, there were to be but two teachers. If you will continue to use your imagination, suppose one of the teachers to be J. Pierpont Morgan, the other Professor Lane Cooper. J. Pierpont Morgan needs no .ntroduction ; Professor Lane Cooper does. The name of Morgan and money are almost synonomous. Professor Cooper is a quiet, unassuming teacher who has been buried for nearly half a century in the obscurity of an American Uni- versity. Whom will you choose as your teacher from the two. .1. P. Morgan, a wizard of finance, a money getter or Professor Cooper whose main accomplishment in life has been the teaching of how to think and how to live? Before making your choice of teachers consider these words of Phillip Brooks- He has achieved success, who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth ' s beauty or failed to express it: who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction. Are you now ready to choose between the two teachers? Mr. Morgan ' s creed may be represented by a dollar sign; Professor Cooper ' s by the word Service. After all. you do not have to greatly stretch your imagination for we are all in school. We who arc now about to leave this school will enter a new and greater one. the school of life There are only the two teachers ready to serve us— first, the teacher of Mor- gan ' s type who teaches the attainment of success for the sake of success; second the teacher of Professor Cooper ' s calibre, who teaches success, for the sake of service. To the teaching profession, more than any other profession todav the challenge ol service presents itself. It is true, indeed, that there is a temptation to seek suc- cess for the sake of success and success alone. We who are about to enter the teach- ing profession if we would remain there long must accept foremost amon K all motives, the motive of service. Dr. Hawkins and Members of the Faculty, we want you to know that we appre- ciate the fact that you are teachers of service in the real sense and that for the pas! two years you have made us realize the significance of service. Class of 1925, we surrender to you the leadership in school activities and we know thai your further aspirations will be of the highest because of the devotion of your teachers to your interests. Seniors, let us ever keep in mind that our teachers here arc teachers of service- that the teachers throughout this great country of ours whose worth signifies an ' ever-present influence of good arc teachers of service. Not only should we respect but we must respect this idea of service so firmly implanted in the lives of our own teachers. ,n the lives of all real teachers. We cannot be teachers in the true sense unless we adopt the motto of service today, tomorrow, forever. Edwin C. Andrews. 6 ■ r S G)(STHE CARDINAlT Teachers, Fellow Students, Friends: June has conic, bringing the realization of our hopes and aspirations. We re- joice today because of our achievements. Your presence here adds to our rejoicing. Frequently during the past year our impatience has made, this day seem very remote. Now that it is here there is mingled with our joy a deep regret at the thought of parting from our friends, and the school that means so much to US. Here we have worked and played together, helping each other, as comrades. Our teachers by their kind and sympathetic interest in our welfare, have inspired us with high ideals and ambitions. Arising within us is a desire to add to the pro- fessi teachers worthy of our Alma Mater. As the members of this class succeed. we shall be ever greatful to you who have helped US when we needed guidance and encouragement. In this spirit of thankfulness and appreciation we, the Class of 1028, welcome you. Ruth O ' Donnell. 54 6 alebtctorp Two years ago tliis Commencement Day seemed a far off vision— a sparkling vision— a vision nevertheless. Today this vision has become a reality. We gradu- ates are on the threshold of the Promised Land; the land of our dreams; the land where we are to give Service. At no other time in the history of education, were the opportunities in the educational field as great as they are now. Through the coopera- tion of communities and legislators, the vocational field of education has expanded until now the number of vocations offered in an ordinary sized school, has to be indexed. With the splendid preparation that we have received during the last two years at this institution, each one of us should be anxious to lend a helping hand in the education of our future citizens. Members of the Faculty ! The moment of parting is drawing nearer and nearer, and we are beginning to realize our gratitude to you for the training you have given us. You have been our teachers, our friends, and our guides. You not only have taught us book lore, but the art of living; you have shared our joys and sorrows and guided us past many a stumbling block. Two years ago you received into your care a number of .irresponsible children; today you are sending forth a group of men and women who are prepared to assume responsibilities, and carry onward your noble, principles and lofty ideals. No reward can compensate you for the energy you have expended, except our undying appreciation and our sincere desire to live up to your teachings. Dear Classmates! Each one of us experiences a feeling of sadness when we realize that this is the last day we are to spend as students in this place which lias been our home the last two years. We came here as strangers and part as life-long friends. Some of us may never see each other again, but the pleasant memories, cherished as treasures, will be with us throughout life. In these halls we have spent many a happy hour in storing away knowledge that we are now to pass on to others. The diplomas we receive today are emblems of the value we received. In accordance with the Law of Compensation we are unconsciously signing today a life ' s promisory note For value received I promise, to pay. As part payment on our life ' s obligation, let us today take the Fire Maker ' s pledge, The light which has been given me, I promise to pass undimmed to others. B.

I ' m in my room now writing this letter, and I feci, oil. so unnecessary and out of my .sphere. 1 Can t take time to describe my room now — it ' s not large, and it has a plain, little white bed. a study table, with an awfully dear little lamp with a pink scalloped shade — and. oh, it ' s very ordinary; but I ' ll like it I guess, after I get used to it. (Everything is so new and queer.) I felt so funny at the station, Dad. We landed last night you know, on the six-thirty up from Albany; a bunch of us — all new, and feeling like shorn lambs — taxied uptown together. Oh, yes! there were a lot of lovely girls- -Seniors — that we met on the train, and they took US under their wings. They came up with us, and told us some of the streets as we came along, but I was too tired to pay much atten- tion to them. I was a little disappointed — just a little — in the town,, but then, we haven ' t been up to school yet. Last night four of us went for a little walk around the block up on Draper Avenue (in back of the Normal) to look the place over, and gee. we couldn ' t tell much about it; but the campus is simply wonderful. There ' s a little lake, and great, tall trees, and really, you ' d like it a lot. The building is large and very substantial looking, and just a little gloomy and — but I can ' t pass judgment on that as 3 ' et. I ' m tired now. It ' s after eleven, and really. Daddy, dear. I ' ll have to stop writing. (I don ' t know what the rules are. yet in regard to lights, etc. Our land- lady seems very nice.) Please write soon, very soon! Your loving daughter, Patricia. P. S. — I ' m not a bit homesick, now. Be sure and write soon, now. please, please, P. S. S. — Don ' t faint! Killed two hoptoads on sidewalk this evening; the place is infested with them. October 15. Dearest Dad: I know I ' ve been perfectly terrible to neglect you like this. but. honest. Dad. I don ' t know where I am at. What with my new work, and meeting oodles of new girls, and going to sorority teas and dances, and rush parties, and movie parties, and walks down to the monu- 66 ment , and to the Kent De Lord House, and up to Mutt ' Point, gee — I ' m a wreck. Hut I love it all. Really, it ' s just as much fun as college. The Senior girls (there aren ' t any — I mean many boys!) have been perfectly wonderful ! Daddy, you needn ' t worry about your little girl being homesick. We are out on parties nearly every evening, and lots of nights I don ' t get to bed till nearly (don ' t tell mother) midnight. But I have to work sometime, and when else is there time? Your last letter was a peach — I mean it was very nice — but don ' t forget to keep on writing often to Yorii Darling. October 20. Dear All: I have to write! I can ' t wait another moment to tell you the news! No, I have not been expelled, nor has the school burned down, so there! Listen! This very noon I received the loveliest invitation to join my favorite sorority (or fra- ternity), and I ' m so happy I can ' t contain myself. I rather expected it, however. Margaret has been rushing me everywhere — gee, she ' s adorable — I just love her — and, now it has happcncl. Oh. I just love everybody and everything in this world ! I ' m simply crazy about my work. Of course, this commercial course is hard on a person, when she ' s been stuffing Latin and the sciences for four years! Darn! Here comes Marg and the girls now. We ' re going down to the post office, and then over to Dunton ' s (that ' s the J ' eachiest ice cream parlor) and have a hot fudge. Test in shorthand tomorrow ! Ye gods ! I ' atsy . P.

Daddy, they make us work so hard here, sometimes I wake at night and see the ghost of Mr. Todd asking in a voice stern and forbidding The rules for ray, quickly. Miss McKay? We have settled to a regular routine, and what with Bookkeeping, Shorthand, English, etc., etc., Patricia McKay is kept pretty busy. Did I ever mention our profs to you. Dad? We have a large variety. Our psychology prof is a fatherly man, whom everyone loves — but I can describe them all, by having you know — on the whole, our faculty consists of ten dignified men and pairs of glasses. The atmosphere f the entire school is dignity, Daddy, and our teachers here never come down the stairs — they descend; I can ' t picture any one of them lying down — they recline; they don ' t eat — like you and I — rather they dine; and as for going to bed, perish the thought. Daddy dear, they retire! 07 ' .v eh ology Cla it I ' m frightened to death. I just heard some Seniors (they know everything) discussing the weeding out process the school undergoes in June. Ye gods! I just know I ' ll be kicked out. Will you find a nice, pleasant job for your daughter, please? After working in this school for a few months, some easy job like scrubbing floors, or delivering groceries, will do. Reasonably yours, Pat. 12.30 A. M. Dad: I ' m disgusted, tired, blue, downhearted, everything— tonight, and I want to go home; I ' m mad at the school, my roommate, and— pardon me, Dad, and I ' ll tell you what ' s bothering: I ' ve got an old ledger sheet and five times have I worked it out, five times it conies out $1,257.53 short. I ' ll work it again and if it won ' t balance. I ' m going to commit suicide with the gas tube and drown myself in the pond. We had a book- keeping test today, and of all the fool questions, a whole page of ifs and conditions of a business and then at the bottom What would you do? I wanted to answer truthfully, and say hire a bookkeeper. I ' m as dull as an owl tonight, and won ' t depress you further; goodness sake, Dad. write to Your Pat. December I t. Dearest Mother: No. dear, I have not taken cold, nor have I been exercising too much, and in the face of that, I sleep with my window as far open as I can get it! (I am per- fectly safe in saying that, for you, dearest mother are not here to have it otherwise!) Let me warn you, I can ' t write much this time, for Shorthand and Bookkeeping arc calling me, and their demands are insistent! Dr. Pierson examined us this morning, and I ' ve gained twelve pounds. Imagine! And I go skating and snow-shoeing a lot. (But, then, everybody puts on weight up here. Don ' t you think by penmanship is improving? 1 do!) Mr. Thompson asked me to tell something about advertising, no-Force in Adver- tising, this morning, in Business English, and I got so excited. I stammered out I haven ' t read that part over yet. Mr. Thompson. I felt myself growing read, I mean red. Tommy just stood there, and looked at me, and everyone was still. Then he said slowly and dreadfully: Well, Miss McKay, suppose you read it over now. please. I tried to read it, but everything was blurred before me. Finally, I looked up, he nodded, and I began timidly. I made an awful mess of it. When I had finished, a slow twinkle dawned in his eye. and he grinned broadly. I relaxed slightly, but waited. And he said: Well, Miss McKay, one of the most important things in Advertising is Bluff — your recitation was good! Here ' s where I get after that Business English. Your daughter is developing into a perfect cram, dad and mother (I had my eyes examined today), but oh. wonderful, wonderful, WONDEBFULLEST (Mr. Thompson is not here, so I can say it) Christmas is only five days and fourteen hours off! Hastily. Pat. December 20. Dearest Dad: This school is in an uproar, and me, I am walking on cushions of pine needles. I never thought I could be more excited than when I left home for Plattsburgh. but I am, right now. This morning in Assembly, Dr. Hawkins, with one of his most gracious smiles, arose from his seat and with a stern look in his eye said hum, urn, you will all be disappointed no doubt to hear of the decision of the faculty in regard to Christmas vacation. (Ye gods! I ' most dropped dead in my chair.) We know you will dislike very much leaving the school, but nevertheless, it has been decided to offer you a week ' s vacation. School will reopen an January l. Dad, if it had been Abraham Lincoln come back to life or Nero fiddling at Rome, lie couldn ' t have been more applauded. When we rose to leave Assembly Hall, the pianist played Home. Sweet Home , and I must confess. Dad, I cried. I ' m wildly happy at the thoughts of going home; so happy, in fact, that the trip from Plattsburgh to Albany holds no terrors for me. I ' ve already packed and have almost decided to go to the station early in the morning, so I won ' t possibly have a chance to miss the noon train. Don ' t smile. Dad, but I don ' t want the town band to meet me, nor the girls, nor the usual gang; I just want you. Pat. January 29. Daddy dear: There are lots of things that never go by rule : There ' s a powerful lot of knowledge That you never get in college ; And they ' re heaps of things you never get in school. It ' s been running through my mind all day. and I got to wondering what sense there is in studying on balmy winter days and working hard — I just can ' t assimilate any more knowledge. Dad. Finals come tomorrow, and I ' m frightened, scared, petrified — oh. just everything — I don ' t know a thing. Dad. about school; but you know I can tinker with a car (and make it go) ; I can bake a cake; I can make a good supper. Would you call me educated if I quit school; and stayed home? I ' d still be your Pat. 09 Dad: I passed every sivt le thing and again my sky is bright and clear— I ' m so happy., hut I must confess I was conditioned in arithmetic. I ' ve crossed all the other sub- jects off my list. I can breathe freely once more. No. Dad! I make no resolu- tions about conscientious study. I ' m going to live up to some of mv old resolutions first. Our mid-year dance comes this Friday, and all you can hear around the school is Have you got a man? Is he good looking? Can he dance? Will you ex- change? They have so few boys in the school that it has been the custom for the girls to ask boys to attend the dances, and the poor boys that go! Mercy, if I were- a man. I never would consent to being led before a Normal faculty, and shaken and disgusted like a rare fossil. Gosh, after hearing about these Normal dances. I agree with the man who said A Mother may take twenty years to make a man of her son; a woman will take twenty minutes to make a fool of him. No Dad, you ' ve guessed it wrong. I ' m not going to the dance, in spite of the exquisite dress Mother sent. Do you ask why? I have five reasons: 1 . I haven ' t a man. 2. I haven ' t a man. 3. I haven ' t a man. ■t. I haven ' t a MAN. 5. I HAVEN ' T A MAN. Resignedly. Pat. (Two hours later) What do you suppose — Margaret went and called up the town, and has secured a gentleman for me for the dance. I ' m rather skeptical as to his appearance, danc- ing ability, manners, etc., but at least he is a Man. I ' m to see him Friday night. Pat. Dear Daddy : Huh ! He came, and such a specimen ! Long, and I suppose limber, with glasses and adenoids and very light hair, parted scrupulously in the middle — regu- lar Main Street, and number eleven shoes (or perhaps they were imparled). I dressed on Friday night, feeling fine and confident of having a wonderful time, when my thoughts were interrupted by the door bell, and in my Prince Charm- ing walked — no. Humbled. How do you do , says I. It was dark in the ball, and I couldn ' t see his face very well. He muttered something inaudible. We went; and I soon discovered that even a hero can be commonplace. When the dance was over. I vowed never to take a man to a dance on telephone value. The worst thing about the whole affair was I did look well in my dress (Mother, please notice), and that I should have to waste it on him — ugh. After all, I ' ve discovered that there is really only one Prince Charming in this whole world for me. and that ' s Dad! Oceans of love from Pat. 70 G feTHE CARDINAL Jg) March IS). Dearest of Daddies: Help! Daddy, if you ever had one little spark of affection for your littlest daughter, please come to the rescue! I ' m in mortal agony. INITIATION — spelled with a skull and crossbones, and everything terrible, is at hand, and we don ' t know whether it ' s before or after Easter. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking of the rats and mice in the tower room, and wondering about the depth of the Normal Pond, and thinking of how worms would taste served up with glue, and oh. hideous things! The Seniors all go about, looking so smug and wise. I ' d like to tell them a thing or two, but I don ' t dare; they put every little thing you say down as a black mark, and it counts against you. Seriously. Daddy, you ' d better see right away about life insurance for me. I ' m writing my rostrum essay, during my breathing spells. It ' s all about the Psychology of Teaching — pretty stiff, but I ' m on my fourth page. This I have saved for the last, and I ' ve nearly perished, waiting to spring it. Hold onto your pipe, now — we are to have ten days for Easter vacation — Dr. Haw- kins said so in Chapel this morning. I ' m so thrilled! Gee, it will seem great to get home again! I will be really and truly homesick, if I don ' t stop. Enthusiastically (is that right?). Patsy. June 15. Dear Mother and Dad : hirst of all. let me gel the worst off my chest. (I really can ' t revise that — even if it does sound unprofessional. I really am so changed, you know. Do you know I don ' t say darn or gosh any more, except when I get very excited.

I feel all jumpy-like inside, and I ' m afraid 1 do carry my head pretty high. Some of the girls flunked arithmetic, and I guess they ' ll have to come to summer school. It was rather terrible when they first knew about it — Grace Townsend threw her arms around me and sobbed prodigiously (that ' s my new word) but in the next breath she was excitedly telling me about her stunning, new evening dress, for the Junior Prom and Senior Reception — which leads me to the real theme of my letter. I, too. will be among those present in the receiving line this year, and beside me will not be a stuttering, long-armed high school kid. No! For did I not this very morning receive a nice fat letter from my own Bobbie (you know very well BfSo I mean) saying that he will be home from college Saturday, and will arrive in Platts- burgh the following Thursday evening for the Prom, providing he can make arrange- ments with the I).

G. 12 4 THE CARDINAL (Best Junior Theme 1921-1922) m Teska was very happy. Was not this the birthday of Stella, her sister? Teska. herself, was twelve. She was Polish. She was, withal, very human. And there was to be a party for Stella, a wonderful party, to which only American children had been asked, and each and every one had promised to come. Teska hovered about the kitchen, where her mother was busied preparing for the party. Mrs. Stefanson, fearing she might do something wrong, in her desire to be American, had provided most generously. Everything in readiness, the mother made a final survey of her spotless, shining house. Yes, she mused, it does look American. There were no traces of the gaudiness common to foreigners. Bess Stefanson had experienced utter desolation in her home-sickness during her first years in the new country. A new country, a new language. — it was impos- sible to make oneself understood in the stores, or indeed, anywhere. Clerks were un- obliging, unassisting. and tittering. Meanwhile one must stand in burning, crimson mortification, trying to make them understand. One could always hear Poloek in the conversation of these clerks, too. In what a supercilious manner they said it. Oh ! it was hard to bear. Then the children changed it all. They began to go to school. They learned English. No longer did they use their mother tongue. Conversation came to be carried on in Polish by the mother, in English at all times by the children. The mother grieved for a while. It was hard to have one ' s children unwilling to use the language of their forefathers. But it was not long before Mrs. Stefanson began to use English. Then a night school was opened for the few foreigners of the village. Mrs. Stefanson was the only woman who attended. In her keenness she saw the way to learn. She was patient, pers istent and she learned much — American customs, ways of living, furnish- ing, cooking. One thing was lacking — she had no confidence in her English. To go back now to the party. It was indeed a momentous day. The children were excited and anxious — this was to be an American party. It would be no such party as mother had told them about — feastings in the old country. At the last moment, almost. Teska was sent to the store for some forgotten trifle. Now next door to the Stefansons ' lived a Canadian family by the name of LeVel. They envied the prosperity of the Polish family, and resented even their presence on the street. These things, even the LeVel children showed in many maddening ways. There was that one especially hateful word they used Poloek. But Teska had heard on the day preceding, a new phrase. She had repeated it to herself over and over. Let them call me Poloek , she said, as she started out, for she knew the LeVel children were not asked to the party, and that trouble would be suit to follow. 73 Sure enough. On the LeVel porch sat Annette. Now, said Teska. I get at her first. Passing by. she looked straight at Annette and said Canuck, Canuck, canary bird. Too astonished to say anything else, Annette screamed Polock! That was enough. Teska. with sure aim let fly a small stone which had been concealed in her pocket. Annette holding her hand against a bruised cheek, ran after her. But the fleet-footed Teska was not to be caught, so Annette bore the tale of woe to Mrs. LeVel. Immediately Mrs. LeVel charged the Stefansons back yard, dragging the weeping, angry Annette. Look, she screamed, Look what your Teska did, pointing to the bruised cheek. You Polocks — what right you got to come live nex ' us, you? All the time make trouble. Make me keep my children on my own yard all time so they don ' t play with Polocks ? Mrs. Stefanson grew white. But her voice was calm. Polocks! If we ate Polocks we haf right to leeve (live), to breathe, as much as you — we haf heart, we haf soul. My children can not pass your house but you yell ' Polock. ' We haf as much right to this country as you. Go home and close your lips. The strange thing is, that Mrs. LeVel did just that. Time for the arrival of the children drew near. Mrs. Stefanson grew nervous. She dreaded the ordeal. What if she should say or do something wrong. If only some other woman would come! At length they arrived, ten little girls and oil. blessings, with Mildred Hopewell was her charming mother, who explained to Mrs. Stefanson that she invited herself, hoping to prove useful in some way. It was a wonderful party. There were games and music. What shouts of happy, care-free laughter were heard! What an amount of food was consumed! Then more games, more fun, until it was time to go home. It was then, Mrs. Hopewell with a look in her eyes that showed she meant and felt what she said, came to Mrs. Stefanson, and putting her arms about the little Polish woman said. You are a wonderful woman. America is glad to claim you. And Mrs. Stefanson, tears in her eyes said. This is the only country. God let me lif and die here with my children. Only let me sec the day I am not called ' Polock. ' Then they were gone. At bedtime, Teska crept into her mother ' s arms. Mother, I don ' t care any more if LeVels do call US ' Polock ' when a nice lady like Mrs. Hopewell says America is glad we are here. R.

Last fall we gathered once more in a certain dearly-beloved room, a room of gold curtains and comfy wicker chairs. It was a merry eager crowd, glad to he back in the thick of things again. With shouts of gladness, we older ones greeted each other. The room was crowded, however, with new faces, strange faces, eager, too— but a bit wistful, as if seeking friends in this new world. Crash! The enchanting strains of Carolina in the Morning hurst upon young ears. Young feet responded joyously, and the chairs and window seats surrendered their burdens to the dance. The room was rilled with happy, swaying figures, a colorful panorama of laughter and motion. Friendships were begun to the strains of — no, not the Flower Song , rather, I fear, to Some- thing as mediocre, perhaps, as Swanee River Moon. Yes. we danced! In our own Agonian Hall, and then, we gave our regular Agonian Dance down in the gym. which was. as usual, a real success. Yc entertained our new friends, or no. we rushed them. We picnicked up the river, we hied us to the movies, we had a wonderful time at Mrs. Nash ' s (Margaret Merritt ' s) cam)), and what did we care if it did rain? What ' s a little rain to a hunch of jolly Agonians? Ah, yes, we came to know our new girls, and as time went on. we learned to love them for their lovable characteristics. We. dis- covered that which we eagerly sought — those sterner traits of character which make for soul fibre. One memorable night we brought our little new friends within the very folds of our sisterhood, and they wen- pledged to us as our very own. We fei l that the trust has been kept most loyally. Not long thereafter our new sisters gave us a treat most royal. Nay. they did tilings to a nicety — they quite overwhelmed us, indeed. How? Well, we attended Maytime in Erin a delicious musical comedy, and afterwards were the guests at a most sumptuous banquet at the Monopole, attended by our new girls! Sophisticated as we were, we nevertheless were quite bowled over by your idea of a treat. Juniors! Time passed (as it has an alarming habit of doing), but never did it drag. We had the usual cake sales, holiday parties, our big Christmas party and a fancy Work sale (the financial results of which we have cause to be proud). At midyear we took unto ourselves four new sisters, which brought our total membership up to about fifty girls. And then along came — not Ruth — no. this young person was full of pep, and wit and originality — you ' ve guessed — Patsy. Did she make a hit? Was the play a success? A success? Ask anyone in Pittsburgh or Morrisonville. Or, if that is not conclusive proof, ask to see our bank balance. Dannemora and Houses 82 Point are still to be added to our scalp-lock— they ' re to be envied, say we. The girls in tlie ease worked hard to put it across — we leave it to you, didn ' t they? And now that our long-looked-for spring is here, we shall have more out-of-door parties, more jaunts in the open up the river , or up to the Bluff, or— oh, any- where, just so we ' re together. Two big events are at hand— one delightful, the other delightful to some. The first? Agonian Convocation, to be held this year at Genesco. The seeond? Oh, yes— Juniors, too, may now read this without fear or reluetanee — Initiation We who are leaving, go forth witli many a pang of regret and real heartsiekness at the thought of severing wonderful friendships and breaking off the strong ties of comradeship with you who will remain, for we have learned, by campfire, around the piano, on muddy tramps, at delicious feeds — we have learned to think of you as our true sisters, and to love you as such. Hut it has to be and though our ways divide, we leave in your hands, with absolute faith in your constancy, the trust: the torch — to be kept ever before you— the true ideals of Agonian womanhood. An so, once again : To you from falling hands we throw The Torch ! Be yours to keep it high. Let Ago ' s fame and Ago ' s name Flame bright and never die! M. M.. ' 23. THE CARDINAL 3Belta Clio m There is a time for some things, and a time for all things; a time for great things and a time for small things. Truer words could not be applied to the life of the Clio girl during her days at Normal. We may not now truly appreciate the wonderful opportunity that has been ours. But, as time rushes on — as the past goes out and the future comes in — we shall realize more fully the precious gift which has been ours — the opportunity of an education and a profession. Our last year at Normal — what memories in after days these words will recall. Eager to get back, we rushed bright and early that September morning to our old places, greeting on all sides our friends and classmates. And we lost no time look- ing for new faces! With joy and happiness will we recall those never-to-be-for- gotten days when, with working and playing together, we came to truly know eacli Clio girl. How those first six weeks sped by and what good times were crowded into those few short days. At just sucli a time as rush docs the Clio girl learn to utilize every moment of her time. AVe had so many parties and good times that it would be hard to enumerate each one. Most important of all, however, is that memorable night in October when the girls whom we had learned to love came to be true Clionians. Only as time went on could we begin to appreciate the spirit of our new Clios. Never will the Senior girls forget how royally we were entertained with a banquet at the Withcrill. Of course we had some idea of where we were going when in evening attire we waited for our Junior Clio but taxi service was more than we had even thought of! Each succeeding day was filled to the utmost with school work and good times. During the few weeks before Christmas vacation we found time in which to hold several very successful homemade candy sales, also one fancy gift sale. The Old Tyme Concert given by some of the townspeople, being a decided success, was re- peated at Normal Hall for the benefit of the Clionians. Still another party — and one of the most enjoyable ones of the year — our joint Ago-CIio party. The true Christmas Spirit was not forgotten by the Clionian girls, bv any means. Of course, we bad our party just before the holiday vacation with old Santa and his pack of gifts but best of all is the fact that we did not forget it is better to give than to receive. A bountiful Christmas dinner was supplied to a needy family with something useful in the line of clothing for each member of tin- family and a toy for each child. The days that followed vacation were busy ones and it was not long before we found ourselves well along in the last semester of our school life. To our happy group of girls was the added joy of twelve new members. Early in the new semester each Junior Clio could not conceal her great surprise when she, one Tuesday morning in February, discovered that the day of reckoning 85 6 had come. It is needless to say that initiation is one of the events of Clio life that each girl would not miss, if she could. During the dreary month of March, just at a time when the public had had a surfeit of cut and dried entertainments, we chose the psychological moment for presenting something different in the form of localized Animated Ads . The public proved that something different was what they were looking for by filling every seat in Normal Hall. Animated Ads consisted of a series of localized tableaux in which widely advertised commodities were made the basis for living pictures. Much appreciation is due the Plattsburgb merchants who so kindly co- operated with the Clionians and helped io make it so successful. Sunshiny days once more and with them came Clio Convocation at Oneonta. Early in May our two delegates, the Misses Eleanora Gram and Irene Racicot, left, eager to meet new girls from the different chapters, and returned, having enjoyed the good fellowship of our Clionian sisters. Yes, our Normal days are at an end but. however soon the remembrances of our school life shall become hazy; no matter when occurrences of our youth will long be forgotten; when the course of our lives will have been marked by years of service and productivity , there will always remain inscribed upon our deeper consciousness the spirit of Clio and of — our friends.

To chronicle the activities of the Alpha Phi Theta during the past year would he almost an impossibility — so many were the things tried for. and sometimes accomplished. Alpha Phi Theta — what fond recollections are unearthed- — was chosen by the organization to become an official name, after the name Norma Lights was dis- carded. The club met in September and after the first thrills of repressed friend- ship (for two months) were over, we settled down to the immediate business of almost any club. We chose competent officers to guide us with their superior judg- ment. We discussed and made plans for the business and social activities of the year. Our first real entertainment came when, dressed in the cast-off garments of several years before, we and our Junior guests made merry at the Y. W. L. Later in the year, invitations were sent to the Juniors whom we felt sure would prove themselves worthy of our trust, to join our club. They did — and after initiation held in the spring became active members of Alpha Phi Theta. On St. Patrick ' s night, were you to pass the Normal School gym and ask a passerby reasons for the lights, fantastic decorations and entrancing music issuing from the gym , he would say Alphas are giving a dance . And so with our entertainments, business and literary meetings, the days flew and we found ourselves ready to go forth and cross life ' s threshold . It is with more than ordinary regret that we, who arc Seniors, leave our club. We have striven from the first to live up to the ideals of Alpha Phi Theta. If we have accomplished anything worth while, it will be remembered by those who are to carry on. And so ends my story. A history in itself, you know, is but a piece of sera]) paper, to be read, forgotten and thrown away. It is what men do that lives after them. As Lincoln said. The world will little know nor long remember what we say here but it can never forget what we did here. So let. it be with Alpha Phi Theta. It. G. 88 5PDRT5 Alfred L. Dibbolt The students of P. S. N.

Although tiie prospects were bright at the start for a good team and a successful season, our hopes soon faded with the loss of three of the best men of the team. At the election of officers Bernie Darrah was re-elected Manager and Bernard l.avigne was elected Captain. After due consideration the following men were picked for the team: l.avigne. Northrup. Fitzpatrick and Brennan from last year ' s team, and Ludeman. Haron and Webster from the entering class. Later Tracy and Brown were added to take the places of two members whose positions were vacated. After playing the first two games, we were handicapped by the. loss of Brennan. caused by his sustaining injuries, and the loss of Ludeman who left school. An attempt was made at re-organizing the team by the addition of Tracy and Brown and things looked bright again until Haron left school, thus discouraging the last re- maining hope of completing the schedule which included some of the best teams north of Albany, many of them tournament contenders of former years. With the loss of these three players it was decided to discontinue the season and turn atten- tion to baseball and other sports, the results of which remain to be ascertained. B. A.

A history, according to Hovlc. should contain the past, present, and future. Our past, before 1923. may be compared to the Swiss Navy — very much lacking. Our present was filled with happy days of intense practice and exquisite evenings of victories. Early in December the three basketball teams then existing in the Normal School met and were consolidated into one. Bob Brunelle was chosen Captain and Louise Coulter was elected to steer the stormy ship through scores of telephone calls with opposing teams. A competent coach, ill I lie form of Prof. Diebolt. was enlisted in our aid and we plunged into the work with much zest and enthusiasm. Far be it from me, a mere historian, to sing our praises to the skies, but during our entire basketball season we were defeated but once- — then, in an exhibition game, at the hands of the High School boys ' team, who had already proved their superiority by defeating the Normal Junior boys team, we met our Waterloo.

The team chosen from a small student body was ranked among the best in the vicinity. Most of the teams played were more experienced than the High School team but the High School went through the season with but two defeats. George Tiemey was elected Captain and Kenneth Brown was elected Manager. Bernard Lavigne donated his services as Coach and helped to mold the material into a team that would do credit to any high school. It was finally decided that the following boys would represent the Normal High School: forwards, Francis Cham- pagne., Earl Pelkey; guard, George Tiemey, Owen Seymour, Ernest I.emieux; centers, Kenneth Brown, Lisle Denicorc. Much of the team ' s success was due to the efforts of the faculty and the students of the High School. The team desired uniforms and equipment. When this need was brought to the attention of the faculty and students, cake sales and entertain- ments were given until the necessary amount was raised. The season began well with a victory over Cadyville. At the end of the season the High School vied with the Normal School team for the championship of the school, and was defeated in a close, game. The prospects are bright for next year and it is expected that the team will meet with far greater and wider success than in the past year. G.

In future years when perchance the pages of the history of Plattsburgh State Normal Sehool shall he searched in an effort to determine the year when the school had its most auspicious opening, without doubt the searching finger will stop at the year 1922, for it was in the fall of that year that the class of 1926 first crossed the threshold of that institution of learning and, with its entry therein began by the inspiration of its presence to have an uplifting and ennobling influence on the benighted group, known as the class of 1!)23. Demonstrating from the outset that it was a power to be reckoned with, the new class lost no time in organizing, and ere five short weeks had been cheeked off the school calendar showed the first class meeting. At this time the class officers were elected: Francis Brennan, President; Irene Racicot, Vice-President; Hey ward Webster, Secretary; Maude Hayes, Treasurer. It was also decided at this meeting to entertain the Faculty and the Senior class at a dance to be held in the school gymnasium on Color Day. In all probability the social event during the fall season tiiat ranked highest in entertainment, excitement and success was the Junior dance! To go back just a bit. it might be noted here that the Seniors cared so little for their class banner (which is a dusty little triangle of blue and gray) that they actually left it hanging in the gymnasium for a whole week after their dance. It offended the sense of what is right, and the new class took it down, shortly before Color Day, and put it away. Surely there was no harm in that, since the Seniors were so careless! However, strange to relate, the upperelassmen were greatly offended and threatened dire vengeance. Such a childish class! Well, there was no dispay of colors by either class on Color Day. And that evening, the bold Senior boys, outnumbering the Junior boys at least two to one, in regular medieval fashion, kidnapped the Junior bovs and, like pirates of old, carried them off to their stronghold (which happened to be a back room in the Union Hotel in the heart of the city). There with the aid of handsuffs and ropes they planned to keep the Juniors prisoners and thus kill two birds with one stone , that is — deprive the Juniors of the pleasure of attending the dance, and assure the failure of the evening by their absence. But the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley ! Easily outwitting their sleepy Senior guards, the Junior boys telephoned their whereabouts to the Junior girls and in a very short time the rescue was effected and all the Juniors appeared at the dance, to the evident consternation of the Seniors. It was only one of the many instances where the Juniors have proven their superior intelligence. In due course of time mid-year examinations came. Were the Juniors worried? No, not very much ; they felt that such a splendid class as theirs would pass all tests 103 with flying colors. Their confidence was justified and. after drawing the usual long breath of relief for disagreeable things past, they plunged wholeheartedly into preparations for the mid-year dance, which is always the big social event of the mid-winter season. According to custom the Juniors decorated the gymnasium for this occasion. A competent committee headed by Miss Racicot performed this task so well that the Juniors were assured by both the faculty and the student body that it was a work of art. One evening in February there was an interclass basketball game played by both b oys ' and girls ' teams on the Y. M. C. A. court. Both games were well played and interesting; the final tally showed that the Senior boys won from the Juniors, and the Junior girls had evened matters up by taking the game from their Senior opponents. A large crowd of students witnessed the games and the many sore throats next morning were evidence of the enthusiasm that prevailed. The year passed quickly and June, with its finals and farewells, found the Juniors loath to say good-bye. Throughout the year a feeling of good-fellowship had grown up between the Juniors and Seniors. It was with feelings of sincere regret that the class of 1925 parted with the class of 1923. The best wishes for success and happiness go with the Seniors on their life journey. As for the Juniors — with hope in their hearts, and ever looking onward and upward, they will strive to keep their record clear, and — Always in that dim future Whereof no man may learn in advance. Pray that God may tenderly o ' erwatch, And give each member of that class a chance. Katiikhine O ' Connell, Class Historian. 104 Supplement to the Junior Class History Our Junior class history contained nothing but the few bright things which we did throughout the year. I am now going to tell you of a few ways in which the Seniors bested us. To start witli these Seniors are the brightest and wisest aggregation which was ever collected at one time in this school. The first time they showed us how wis, they are was when they gave a dance to entertain us Juniors. That was without ques- tion the best time any of us Juniors had ever had. We hope we can do as well next year. Well, after this dance the Seniors left their banner in the gym, and some of us Junior boys thought we would show the Seniors how wise we were, so we took their banner, when none of them were around, of course. We thought we had put a good one over on the Seniors, but gee! they was wise, them Seniors. About two weeks after, when Color Day arrived, the Seniors would not let us wear our colors because we had not returned their banner. They sure was wise. A short time later we Juniors decided to give a dance and invited the Seniors to attend. As we had not returned their banner they decided to chastise us. And they did. The night of the dance they succeeded in capturing every one of us Junior boys as easy as rolling off a log. We was easy meat. Well, they took us to a place called McGaulley ' s. Bill ' s place, you know, and tied us in chairs. Gee, but we looked foolish. Every few minutes they would bring in one or two more Junior boys to keep the rest of us company. Poor company, we all admit. Well, along about ten o ' clock the Seniors decided that we had been sufficiently chastised so they let us go. Then, and not till then did it penetrate our craniums that those Seniors could teach us a thing or two yet. Well, we went to get our girls for the dance and they talked to us something fierce for letting the Seniors get us. When we arrived at the dance the teachers and everyone else looked at us as though we was a huge joke, and we was. About three days later the Senior banner suddenly appeared in the girls ' study hall and we. gits the Ha-Ha once more. Now by this time all ambition to teach the Seniors anything evaporated, and we decided to sit back and dry up. But not so the Seniors. They had finally started to punish us and they decided not to quit until they had done a thorough job. They challenged us to a bowling tournament and the y beat us three games in succession. Then they challenged us to a basketball game and they took home the bacon again. Oil they was all along them Seniors. Well, to finish things off, the Seniors sang their class song in chapel before we had fairly waked up to the fact that such a thing were possible. We are all very meek now. Although it took quite a while, those Seniors finally made it clear to us that they are wise. THOSE SENIORS CERTAINLY ARE WISE. 105 Reply to the Seniors On September 13, 1922, the Pittsburgh State Normal School began a new life, guided by a bright light in the form of our wonderful, brilliant, and intelligent Junior elass. The entire faculty were enthused; they Brail (1 in happiness and in- deed they had a reason, because now for the lirsl time in many years they had with them, a elass ready to toil and work under their guidance. Seniors! Such you call yourselves, you are rather a group of living mcd is. made in the likeness of man. Let your minds run back to the first weeks of school, when teaching in Junior classes, instead of looking at US, Why? Did you look out of the window, up at the ceiling, or down at the floor? Why? We know, you know, and the faculty knows. The intelligence of the Junior class was a light far too brilliant at which to gaze. You quaked with fear, you shook in anguish, you stuttered in embarrassment, your knees knocked in terror. The brilliance of our intelligence was a dazzling contrast to your dumbness. I have used the word teach- ing but surely you have noticed my grave error. A term more befitting your little exhibitions before our classes would be a demonstration of your inability as educators. Those first weeks of school were hard ones for us; you laughed long and loud at our few little mistakes, and you ridiculed our conduct in and out of school. Blame you for this? No! How could we blame such ardent associates of Boob McNut and other comic characters of wide reputation; of course you felt ill at ease when associating with or talking to Juniors — a body so well read in the current topics of the day, instead of knowing only the contents of Funny Sheets ' . When we became acquainted, our Junior class was organized, and we chose Green and Gold for our class colors. As weak minds run in weak channels, you Seniors have acquired a wrong impression as to the meaning of our colors. But to us and the intelligent world, Green implies everything that is beautiful in life. In spring we rejoice at the coming of Green, in the fall we sadden at its passing. As for Gold we need only mention that it signifies our purity of spirit and wealth in learning. Time passed and the date of Color Day was decided, bue the sleepy Seniors ' banner was missing. Your president, greatly fearing that your class colors would be lowered, requested the school authorities to discontinue Color Day. Can we blame anyone for not wanting to pass a day in a school, shrouded with such colors as your gray and blue. Blue! BLUE! Had the instigators of blue laws known that such blue-loving body existed, the P. S. N. S. would no longer be an enjoyable place of learning. Silver, your other color, lacks the sheen of real silver and is more symbolic of death, of your lack of pep, and your foul methods of play. Can your meaningless triangle of blue and gray be compared with our protecting shield of Green and Gold? NO! Never! One day in March you Seniors attempted to entertain us with your class song. 106 a j feTHE CARDINAL ) t Yes, attempted is the word; the slow and easy-going strains of music, like the actions of your class, made us yawn and feel sleepy. Then you expected us to follow im- mediately with our song; but alas! you were disappointed. Instead of following in the footsteps of other classes, we assumed the initiative and set aside a day on which we sang our class song, wore our class colors, and for the first time displayed our beautiful class banner. It required courage and daring to break away from the precedent of other years, but then as always our class leads and others follow. Seniors — hailing from nowhere, and bound in the same direction — I as spokes- man for the class of ' 25 advise you in a friendly way. Be loyal to your Alma Mater, as we are; be true to the high principles of life, as we are; and be kind to your inferiors, as we have been to you. Don ' t stay in a rut, don ' t follow any one person and become his willing slave as you have followed your president this year. We ask that you think kindly of us and remember that your class motto reads, It ' s the way you shoot, not the way you shout that counts . From our contact with you, wc realize that you have a mighty poor aim. Keep the vision of our class before vou so as to strengthen that aim, and I am confident that you will reap the great rewards of life that are surely due to you, our old friends and fellow students. You are leaving us today and let our final words be spoken in friendship. Teach always that, It ' s not who you are, but what you are, that counts . Good luck. Godspeed, and Good-bye. M. Francis Rrknnan. 107 CARDINAL JVq) Junior Class Poem Farewell Seniors, may you have, In nil you try to do. The best in Life, and may Success Follow you through and through. And as we come to be Seniors, Prepared for our duties new, May we think of those who worked for us And who always stood so true. We ' ve shared with you, your hardships, You ' ve helped us on our way, And a bond of sweeter friendship Does not exist today. We ' ve lived, and learned within these walls That the one who merits praise, Is the one who helps the fallen ones Through Life ' s dark dreary days. So as we strive to carry on The work you ' ve left behind. You need not worry lest we fail, For we ' re not the failing kind. Our class is leal and loyal To our Alma Mater ' s name, And we ' ll work and work and glory In her honor and her fame. 108 The Juniors Adams, Mary New Lebanon Center, N. Y Anderson, Miriam L.

Naturally, there being nothing else to do, I accepted a district school, situated eight miles north of Smiths Basin. The population of the community in which my school was located consisted of four adults, two children, one cow, eight hens and one rooster. My pupils were the two children. I do not know what class my pupils were in as I never had time to classify them, but they were not very bright, anyway. We had the nicest district superin- tendent. He had blond hair and the cunningcst little mustache. I found it extremely hard to teach by class anything. The district superin- tendent said that he believed there was something wrong with the connection between their cerebrums, their cerebellums, and their medulla oblongatas. At noontime I used to cook them something hot and often the district superin- tendent would stop in on the way home and we would all have lunch together. At Christmas we had a Christmas tree and a program. The district superin- tendent made a lovely speech. The boy played a selection on the harmonica and I recited a poem. The girl sang a song. Everyone said the program was wonderful. In June we had a picnic and a very sad tiling happened. The district superin- tendent and I went for a walk and half the school fell in the brook and drowned before we got back. It was very sad, but probably for the best, and the child wasn ' t very bright anyway. At the end of the year I decided I would rather teach boys of high school age,, so I refused to take the school another year and came to Plattsburgh to see if I could learn anything. When I left the whole town felt dreadfully sorry, and my class and the district superintendent cried so pitifully that I really felt sorry for them. H. S. 114 (liillt all due apologies to Hud yard Kiplinr ) THE JUNIOR A Junior there was and lie paid his fare (Even as you and I) To put on a dance for the Seniors fair (We all proclaimed it a beautiful tear ), But the Junior he called it a little unfair (Even as you and I). Oh, the paper they waste and pins they waste And the work of their head and hand. Belonged to the Seniors tho ' they did not know (And how it did happen they never did know) And did not understand. A Junior there was and his money he spent (Even as you and I) AYork and strength and a sure intent (And it didn ' t turn out the way he meant) Eor the Seniors were following close on his scent (Even as you and I). Oh, the time they lost and the fun they lost And the wonderful things they ' d planned Belonged to the Seniors who understood why (But the Juniors — they never knew why) Ajid did not understand. The Juniors were seized and duly tied (Even as you and I) Which they might have seen as we threw them inside (But it isn ' t on record they really tried) So we left them and on to the dance we hied (Even as you and I). And it wasn ' t the strain and it wasn ' t the shame That stung like a white hot brand. ' Twas losing the banner — we know why (Seeing it gone they began to cry) And they never did understand.

Studying hard, with all our might, We -sit alone, within our room W hile playful shadows from the moon Just seem to say, with wilful way, Come out and play, there ' s another day. To get your work; just this once shirk! And then we see the starlit sky With fleecy clouds afloat on high And next, we hear the gentle breeze Singing softly through the trees, And as upon our books we glance We think Oh, well— life ' s but a chance. Tomorrow morn at six a. m. We ' ll get to work and do them then. Ah, ha! — the clock ' s just striking eight, Do we hear Jakie at the gate? Yes, Jakie ' s there with shining hair That gleams like glass and scents the air. Tomorrow comes with six a. m. That clock will never cease to ring. Our bones arc stiff, our heads like lead, We think that we are almost dead. We can ' t get up at any cost We ' ll surely now be saved or lost. Oh, dear, our essay ' s due today Whatever will our Daddy say? He will be peeved, we know he will We ' d better just be very still. Perhaps he ' ll pass us by today At any rate we ' ll hope and pray. Mercy ! But now it ' s getting late, It ' s almost twenty-five to eight. Just ten short minutes left to dress And — gosh, our room ' s all in a mess; We wish our eating place were near, We ' ll surely now be late we fear.

First, shorthand comes, with windy gale A test this morn to start the tale. Those hen tracks were the worst out yet We just surmise the mark we ' ll get. Now, read your notes, from Mr. Todd, We surely feel like Ichabod. We hem and haw and cough and sneeze As some kind friend ' s notebook we seize And then we stumble, quake and jerk Until some pal takes up the work. Next Office Practice comes along But on this stencil stuff we ' re strong So this class goes ; well not so bad But then, within, we ' re rather sad. Then comes Assembly and the roll. Our orchestra, an essay by some soul, Oh me, oh my, Accounting next. This Prof we know will now be vexed. No problem done, much less begun He told us we must have it done. What ' s that, he wants us all to do? To keep the work for a review? My lands, at last we ' ve saved our stake. We ' ll never more go out with Jake. But after lunch our other woes Just pile along with harder blows. That History of Commerce class Has brought death to our door at last. The questions fall like flakes of snow A test we have in this also. But now we go to Daddy ' s class We know we ' ve reached our end at last ; He ' ll mark us down just word for word Upon his little handy board. Oh me, oh my, such awful pain Once more, again, we hear our name If ever this class we survive, Our home, sweet home we ' ll reach alive. Just one class more — we must observe 126 Bookkeeping keeps US on our nerve ; Those Junior kids are all so smart We never know what they will start. My goodness, that ' s our name she called We ' ve got to teach, we shall be stalled The questions come in, thick and fast The Juniors answer all those asked We wiggle through some sort of way And swear quite solemn that this day Will ne ' er repeat itself again And to our prayer we add — Amen! The Class Romance Did you ever Reed about the time that Helen McLaiu hlin was kidnapped? When her French Cooke left, her guardian. Miss Weaver, who knew she was hungry, made her some Mock Rice soup, and while it was C onion, took a Knapp. Before this time, a Learned member of the Consaul from Holland had tried to Courier. He had even used his Powers to Bullet her into accepting him as her King of hearts. But Wood she? No! She said, Darrah Purdy thing like me sell herself for a Gram of Gold? Of course the Learned member was very angry and when he found out that she was unguarded, he climbed a Columbe and by Senear force broke the Loc Ice on the window and got away with her, Scotl free! Helen was a Goodale upset but she at last decided that she could stand living with him. They were married in the Gray of morning by the Parsons Carpenter and Weed, Sexton Norlhrup rang the bell! M. C. W., ' 28. Looic A rib is the cause of all trouble. Woman came from a rib, therefore, women arc the cause of all trouble. If you see two men fighting, you can then feel certain that a woman has something to do witli it. Diebolt — The students were so entranced by my lecture this morning that they remained in my class all through the lunch hour. Shallies — Why didn ' t you wake them up. Kay O ' — Wasn ' t that a marvelous lecture that Dr. Pierson gave us this morn- ing on the Culture of Prunes? Maude — Splendid — she is so full of her subject. Mary C. — Last night Mack tried to put his arm around me three times. Mary Ellis — Some arm. 127 Histohy Qdizz Seated one day in the class room I was weary and ill at ease And my fingers travelled wildly All through my notebook leaves. My mind was as blank as the blackboard My face was the picture of gloom. And I prayed for the sound of that class bell. So I could get out of that room. The prof looked down at his class book. My name was the next on the list. My heart came up in my tonsils ' Cause I knew I would never be missed. My eyes looked up at the prof ' s ey I read a question in his, Then the bell began to clamour And 1 ran from that history quizz. My girl buries her nose so deeply in books that she can ' t get at it with a powder puff. Mary Caffrey — 1 like your cigarette holder. Mack — Why, 1 never use one. Mary Caffrej — Don ' t be so dense. Aileen — No, Bill, it ' s my principle never to kiss a fellow good-night. Jiill — I wish you would forget your principle and take a little interest. Mike and Charlie By the dust on their books shall you know them. Father — Well, son, how did your exams go? Bill Me. — Dr. Pierson says that conversation during meals should be of a pleasant character. Let ' s talk about something else. Miss Garrity — Every lassie has her laddie nane they say have I — that ' s sad. Elsie Smith — You bet it is. Miss Kctchum (dancing with Tracy at mid-year) — I don ' t suppose I ought to be dancing tonight. Doctor Pierson told me not to be on my feet so much. Tracy — Did she say anything about being on mine? Daddy (an example of a human curiosity) — He was a boy of about my own HOROSC ' OI ' K NAME Edwin C.

Take My Advice Take little normal boys with patent-leather hair Every once in awhile want something spiffy to wear. We ' ve seen their misplaced eyebrows, and now it ' s derby hats.

Irene — Where are you going Hemic? Bemie — Going, I ' m not going I coming from Canada.
