Twelfth Sdition Foreword pO add our link to the chain of Plattsburgh State Normal School activities, we offer this volume of the Cardinal to the school with a realiza- tion of the relative insignificance of its contents, yet hoping that it will aid in the recollection of pleasant associations and of happy years spent at P. S. N. S. Dedication a (iHtss JWe Carroll falto stanbs for best trnbittons of £L £. tip Ollass of 1926 bebtcaies tljts (Earomal no 3 4 1926 A. ■ l- HLm J 11926 Miss Anne L Carroll Miss Anne L. Carroll was born at Bangor, N. Y. Her early training was re- ceived at a convent school, St. Philomena ' s Academy. Later she attended Franklin Academy at Malone, N. Y., for high school training. She then entered the Pittsburgh State Normal School, where she took the four- year classical course and was graduated with honors in the class of 1899. This training was followed by one year of post-graduate work in sciences in the same institution. Entering the teaching profession she spent two years in the Fort Edward High School and then returned to the Pittsburgh State Normal School, her Alma Mater, this time as an instructor. Here her entire teaching experience, extending over twenty-three years, lias been in connection with the Science Department, in which she first specialized in physics and chemistry, but of late years has taught mathematics and geography. Since Miss Carroll has made her home in Plattsburg she has gained a wide circle of friends both among the townspeople and the students of this school. She lias played a n active part in the life of the community. She is a charter member of the Catholic Daughters of America and is also a member of the Alpha Literary Society. Miss Carroll has always been prominent in school functions, in class affairs, and in sorority activities. She was elected faculty advisor of the Delta Chapter of the Agonian Sorority when the office was created and still holds the position. Four Remarks by Miss Carroll The time of preparation lias at last drawn to a close, and you are to take up work on your own responsibility in your chosen field. God speed you. If with the enthusiasm of youth you combine the steadfast purpose to be sincere and honest with e very one whose well-being depends even remotely upon your efforts, there will come to you that most prized of all possessions, the consciousness that you have given the best that is in you to the service of your country and indeed of humanity at large. The conviction that such a course is almost certain to redound to your own individual advantage may serve as an additional incentive, should such incentive be needed. If your material reward seems meager, and your services appear to win little or no recognition outside of a narrow field, you will at least have the satis- faction of knowing that you have been faithful to the trust imposed upon you. and true to your own higher self. Five Plattbburgh State Normal 1926 11926 CARD I NAL Reflection Dear Campus with its even rolling green; Fair patch of crystal water framed in trees, Those trees so dignified and yet so kind: These are not all that every traveler sees. Those great brick walls and corridors all dim: The shelves piled high with books of every lore; The pictures and the portraits on the walls; E ' en these are onlv art and hooks of vore. But anyone may read between the lines And see the true direction of thy heart. In teaching each to live with each in joy. Our Normal, that is glorious art. J. M. G. Seven 1926 O ARD I N VL, 1926 History of Plattsburgh State Normal On the shores of Champlain ' s blue waters, Stood the little town of Plattsburgh, Just a small town but ' twas growing, And the people wanted knowledge. So the City Fathers pondered. And they tried to please the people; Schools they started, books were purchased. To make learned Pittsburgh ' s natives. Plattsburgh prospered and its people Soon sought other paths of learning; Some sent children off to college, Others could not well afford this. So they parleyed long and earnest, To give others what they needed; Aided by the State Officials, Plattsburgh Normal ' s history started. In the year of eighteen ninety, Finding that it would be wiser, The City Fathers gave the greensward Ground for building Plattsburgh Normal. For the first time in its annals Plattsburgh had a new attraction; Students came from far-off places Gaining knowledge to tcacli others. First of its great educators Was Fox Holden, then Headmaster, Held his office very wisely, For two years he ruled them justly. Eight 1926HH 1926 Edward Jones, another soliolar, Then took up tlie task of leading Pittsburgh Normal into limelight, Larger, larger, ever growing In importance, ever leading Other Normals in their courses, Aided by well-chosen teachers. Then the State Officials gathered, And they truly showed their wisdom, When they chose our present leader, He, the learned George K. Hawkins. Hail our very learned Principal ! Who by everyone is lauded ; Ever first in thought and wisdom, Ever just and fair to others. In nineteen ten, the learned scholars Saw the need for other branches, So our Commerce Course was started, Listed second in all the East. Stately with a lovely campus, Stands our ever-growing Normal, Always loved by all its members. Famous for its rapid progress. All is due to its great teachers, To them all fair praise be given, Ever we, its stately Seniors, Sing its honors far and near. And when asked, of all the Normals, Which is fairest, which is best, We will say that Plattsburgh Normal Far surpasses all the rest. As a seat of higher learning. Harriett E. Lavison. Dr. George K. Hawkins 1926 — 11926 CARD I NAL Remarks by Dr. Hawkins There is a compelling law of nature and development, to which we all must yield, which requires the child at length to leave the parents ' side and seek fulfill- ment of its ordained mission in the world, and obedient to the claims of that insistent law your eyes today regard the Future and her tempting witchery captivates your hearts. You have passed the fledging stage and with ambitious wings are about to leave the place where you have learned to use them. May they carry you happily in safe and steady flight into fields of productive experience and expanding use- fulness. Eleven r MU|Al MarMOOAU A..I.

Tiny bit of crystal lake, Where wee dryads sleep and wake. Piled about with feathers soft, Swirled about in snow, Grayest of gray skies above, Carpet thick below. Seen through curtain of the storm, What a shelter! gay and warm. Alma Mater, through the years We ' re away from you Mem ' ries ever will be near — Times that used to be. You shall be our guiding star Tho ' our paths may lead afar. Julia M. Gabdephe. Fifty Class Gift The above picture is a reproduction of a mural painting which the class of 1920 presented to the school. Four successive classes have contributed to the symbol ic group of panels which hang in Normal Hall and which were painted by George Lawrence Nelson, a well- known mural artist of New York City. The first panel which occupies the center space was the gift of the class of 1923. It portrays a Normal student in the act of receiving his diploma. The right hand panel which was presented by the class of 1925 represents the graduate out in the world as a teacher. The panel given by the class of 1926 occupies a position at the lower left of the central panel. It portrays a group of students considering the advantages of a higher education. The group in the foreground is inspired by the words of the professor and visualizes the broader and more vital future that will open up to them through the opportunities that the State lays before them in the Normal course. The group in the middle carries out the same thought, although these young people have not as yet realized the full possibilities of their future. The village and hills with the steeple represent the typical American environment in early autumn color- ing. The class of 1927 is completing the group of panels. Pearl O ' Donnell.

Fifty-five CARP I ISTAL 1926 Class Prophecy The soft light-, mellowed from a dee]) rose to a dull blue, the curtains separated, the strains of music from the marvelous orchestra lifted lightly to the first balcony. Amidst this romantic scene of harmony, and peacefulness, we sat, in a Broadway opera house, first balcony, seats $3.30. It was a terrible price to pay for balcony seats, but then it was worth it, for weren ' t we going to see the Classmate Review. ' one of the features of the year — especially to the old students of P. S. N. S. The lights dimmed, the movie machine gave a whirl and on the screen flashed the well- known words — CLASSMATES! PLATTSBURGH NORMAL Class of ' 26 The thrill of it! How it brought us back to those happy days. We didn ' t appre- ciate them then. Just think! Ten years ago! It didn ' t .seem possible. Look! is that Rabbit? Rabinowitz elected! Defeats Drinkwine in one of the greatest presidential elections ever! There he stood. I always knew he ' d achieve success and fame. Flash! Nellie Cardillo, now Mrs. Croake. prima donna at the Metropolitan Opera House. She looks just as pretty as ever. Then — Sunny ! Still showing in New York after all these years, but with a new leading lady — Lillian MacDougall Ryan. I recall when she sang D ' ya Love Me? the chief melody in Sunny. in the Minstrels. ' Member? Next we saw domestic scenes from various places — Chris Braman and Larry. They seemed happy enough in their little bungalow on Court Street, Pittsburgh. Boy! Look at that! Cele Regan peeling potatoes — she used to hate that, but then she always could overcome her ups and Downs . Evelyn Nelson and Norm walk- ing over Margaret Street — Norm wheeling a large carriage. Twins! Aren ' t they darling little tots? Norma Payne and Carl bumping along in a little Ford, but true love never runs smooth. And, of course, Winnie Call is still Mrs. She was married before she graduated, remember? Emily Cunningham has changed her name to Hallock. Well. I ' m not surprised at that! And. naturally, Mrs. O ' Donnell is still married and we saw her in her home. And there! Still another married eouidc — Maryland and her Don in a darling little flat in Norwood. We certainly weren ' t missing any of our old pals. Peggy and Ernest were established in Ilion Fifty-six 19261 CARD INAL 11926 in a beautiful home] with Herzog hired as handy man. And then, of course, Roberts and Bill were hitched up. and also Mary Lucian and Walter. Hark! That orchestra music is wonderful! I wonder who those musicians are. What! There she is! Edith Huber at the piano, Kay Oles and Chili Behan also contributing their share to the beautiful strains wafting up to us. Next we saw flashes of India, and there was sweet Mildred Stafford doing missionary work. Bordeau ' s Department Store, was the next thing to meet our eyes. But. then, we always knew Martha would help Vic advance. Here we found two of the clerks to be old classmates of ours — Elizabeth Carney and Elizabeth Stape. They were always great chums of Martha. We then took a quick movie trip through several of the prominent schools of the State and found that five of our old friends had reached the principalship — Hildegarde Mentley. Dorothy Hayes, Frances Allen, Pauline Rosebrook and Mabel Weldon. Several of the others were proving to be very successful teachers — Florence Biser. Dolly Bowe. Dorothy Brothers. Gladys Eaton. Bessie Facto, Julie Hunter. Darwin Keysor, Grace MeCaughn. Alberta Moody, Mabel Morrison, Edna Shattuck, and Marie Shroeder. Jimmy Quenan had been made head of the Board of Regents. Reducing School for Eat Girls. All ! this is interesting. Run by Ruth Pratt. She certainly ought to be successful at that as she got so thin while in Normal. Assistant? Who could that be? Gwenie Wilcox! Well, I declare! Our old friend Prevost next Bashed on the screen. Going to Yale. And he ' s bringing as manv athletic honors and victories to Yale ' s credit as he did to P S N. S. Then we saw a couple of soap-box orators still upholding their views of the Darwinian theory — Vivian Westcott and Thclma Vaughn. Mr. Diebolt probably remembers all their long, drawn-out arguments. Tunney. I guess, got sick of the United States, for we saw her located in Peru. Anna Gill. Anna Ryan, Betty Ellis and Elsa Felkel were shown in Holly- wood, headed for the heights of stardom, and they all looked just as adorable as ever. Jean Einnegan and Doris Frazier were still pals, but this twosome had changed to a fours ome, because DelFavero and Charlie Silver were tied to them for life. Governor of New York State! Not our old friend Hugh? Yes. sir! Hugh Conway. Isn ' t that great. I always thought he ' d be a locksmith. His private secretary was Margaret Sorensen. Lois McCarty and Helen Lathrop had been chosen lady Senators. Next we saw a suffragettes ' meeting led by Esther Goldman, staunchly sup- ported by Isabelle Beveridge and Anna Dougherty. Then we hay a quick view of the electric sign outside the Century Theatre, New Y ' ork City. It twinkled and shone and on it we read The Enchantress, Fiflil-nrven 19261 CARD I N AL 11926 ' starring Harriett I.avison. and there at the stage door was a long line of admirers. Sin- always was a popular little vamp in Normal. Famous poet goes abroad for remainder of life! I never thought Julia Gar- deplle would leave us, hut then I suppose food for thought for a poet is missing here. George I.enaghcn was following in his father ' s footsteps and doing garage work and auto repairing. And then we got a quiek flash of Bee Fox hurrying along, for wasn ' t she going to meet Chili, her hubby, after the show? You remember he was in the orchestra in the theatre. We were then brought down to Florida and there we saw Adele Gardner in the beautiful little garden outside of her home, smiling blissfully up at her husband. And Agnes Corrigan is now wearing a wedding band, so evidently she has become Mrs. Werner. And Margaret Cunningham has changed her profession from that of a teacher to that of a Barber. Madeline Arthur and Florence Mulvey aren ' t quite as happy-go-lucky as they were formerly because they. too. have acquired better halves. Dilly ? Where is she? I wonder what ' s become of her? Oh, there you are! You old dear! You ' re so far away. That ' s why we didn ' t see you before. Way out in Chicago? What in the world can she be doing out there? Married to David Macintosh, of course. How stupid of me! The whirr of the movie machine stopped and the orchestra struck up a peppy tune. It was all over. I couldn ' t reali .e it. Wouldn ' t I love to really see those dear schoolmates of mine, but then I ought to be satisfied — I had seen them in the Review. To think I even doubted that .f3.30 was too much for the tickets. Come on. Hefty. Let ' s go home. J feel so blue. I said. This has been all in fun, but ten years hence, how many of us would not like to see all our old friends again, and to recall the good old days at Normal, and how many of us will not feel blue to think they are a thing of the past? Not one! Rtth H. M. Larson.

The knowledge seekers have decided that it is time that they take their standing with the rest of the world. So they hare sent one of their most promising groups to the l ' lattsburgh Normal School in order that they might study the ways of the learned people. It is now June and our representative called Cardinal has agreed to give us a review of the two years we spent in one of the best known schools for commercial teachers. Cardinal has just arrived and his report is as follows: Dear Brothers and Sistc is: It has been a long time since I ' ve been with you and there is a lot to tell you. However, I will give you just an outline of the two years it has been my privilege to spend in school. These two years have supplied me with many things of which it will be worth while telling you: The majority of the students arrived Tuesday on the 5.58. Some of them already knew where they were to live, but woe unto those who did not know where to hang their hats. W hat a clash of boarding house sharks! Boarding-house keeper and student, each for himself! Nevertheless before midnight the majority of my classmates had found their homes. Home for the next ten long months! Sometimes the greater number of Miserables would sigh with an expression which plainly said. There is no place like Home Sweet Home! The dark, dreary, and drizzly morning of Wednesday. September 10. 1921. ushered in the day that our class, one hundred forty strong, entered the State Nor- mal School. Everyone began the day with enthusiasm but this forced interest in events soon gave place to a very intense longing to be anywhere except at the Normal School. However, it was with some satisfaction that we learned that our class was the first real Freshman class to enter the Normal School. The first tiling we did was to elect our officers, select a class motto, the class colors of blue and white, and our faculty advisor. Miss Lynch. Miss Lynch stayed with us one year, during which she strived continually for our success. One day soon after school began some of our members reported that the Juniors and Seniors were writing songs with which they were going to surprise us. This news made some of our members hurry to write some songs in order that we might not. as a class, be outdone. Of course it was necessary to get together to practice for the great event. So one evening at seven we met for that purpose; but evidently some of our upper classmates had very conveniently developed extraordinary large ears so that no news could possibly escape their hearing. You know they say little pitchers have big ears, and it surely seemed that those listeners were well supplied. The next day each class did justice to the cause and made the halls ring with Si.rl -seven 1926 the echoes of song and laughter. However, rivalry seemed to continue among the classes until the Seniors and Freshmen clasped hands and decided to maintain that firm grip until the end of the year. In order to help make our lives pleasant, both the Junior and Senior classes gave us some form of entertainment. Then came our turn to show our talent. Everyone set to work with a will and the result was that we gained the reputation of being excellent hosts and hostesses. After the party everyone ' s attention was turned to preparations for the mid- year examinations. The exams proved to be kind to most of us and we showed that we could do justice to them. After the exams were completed we immediately turned our attention to the mid-year dance which was to be held the following week. As a result of much hard work on the part of the members of our industrious class every available space in the gymnasium was covered with blue and white. The evening of the dance came, and with it many praises Upon the way the color scheme had been carried out. We felt (hat it would be nice to have the reputation of starting something new and incidentally have something which would help us recall the good time which we had worked so hard to obtain. The photographer seemed to be tbe only one who could satisfy this desire so he came up to the Normal during the course of the evening and took a flashlight picture of the entire scene. After this, there was more dancing until the orchestra started to play that very familiar piece called Home Sweet Home which started the revelers on their bomeward path. Everyone knows that the winter months bring with them many basketball games and it wouldn ' t bave been proper for the winter of 1924-25 to be the exception to this rule. This is a sport that almost every boy enjoys and surely our boys did not allow any opportunities to slip by for our class was very well represented on the team. After the basketball season came to a close we studied hard until the final examinations in June. At this time we enjoyed many entertainments with the Juniors and Seniors, after which many farewells were said. In order that many of the members of our class might leave this part of the country without any loss of time, it was necessary that the. D. H. Railroad should do a rushing business. Who cares what the means of transportation might be as long as the destination is home for a long vacation ! But there was a little longing within us for those whom we might never see again, the graduates. It doesn ' t take long for a vacation of over two months to go by and before we could realize it September 9. 192. ' ), saw the gathering of the same group of people under the name of Juniors. Weren ' t we proud to think that we were not the new people around town and the Freshman class of the Normal School. This year all of us knew where we were going to board so we could easily sit back and watch the others hunt around for a boarding place. We could appreciate all this because we had been in the same situation only last year and that is too short a time in which to forget anything like that. Bixty-elght 1926 CARD I N AL 1926 As before, we did not let any time pass before we elected cur class officers. On the otber hand, we did not have class songs to write because we had been informed that we would not be allowed to sing them as had been done the year before. However, it was necessary that we should do something in order to get acquainted with the members of the Freshman class so Hie Juniors and Seniors gave a joint party which soon made us come to know our new schoolmates. Once again everything was quiet until Christmas vacation, when everyone went home for two weeks ' vacation. Those two weeks proved to be all too short, but everyone returned with enthusiasm to work. Last year our class started something new by having a flashlight picture of the mid-year dance taken. In order that this record of inventive genius might be kept up we decided to give a card party which was well attended by the students and their guests. What proved to be the gala event of the season was the Junior and Senior basketball game. This was the first interclass game held in two years. The Juniors were there with colors gay and cheered continually for their class. What result could be expected with this backing? Why nothing but victory. And it was a victory for the Juniors. The Seniors ran up a score ahead of the Juniors during the first half but it did not last long after our boys got wanned up. They came through during the second half with a high score and this won the game. After this game the varsity team, upon which some of our boys played, played a game against the faculty. The faculty got the start and held it during the game. Up to their old tricks again; always -it I lie head with their class. The month of June always brings good times and this year, as usual, it is bringing the Junior Prom which will take its place in the history of our class as one of the best times ever held at Normal. Of course it will take a great deal of hard work and genius in order that the event may be the best ever, but we must remember that our class motto is By Courage and Wisdom We Will Succeed. and in this manner we always succeed. Our second year is finished. When you again hear of us we will be Seniors. But only through the successes of our class during these two years could we ever expect to reach Chat final goal.

S., tlie liomc of our joys and our fears, When we entered thy portals and banished our cares To gain knowledge from thy golden store. Thou hast taught us the lesson of service to give And the burdens of others partake; For the welfare of mankind our lives we will live And our standards we ' ll never forsake. Thou hast taught us the value of sportsmanship true, How to win and to lose with a song; As under our banner of white and blue. Thy campus so often we thronged. When with rivals in sports we contested our skill. Our gymnasium echoed our mirth; We were joined in true friendship and hearty good-will And displayed to advantage our worth. Twenty-seven, the year when we leave these thy halls. Holds a feeling of joy and of pain: We ' ll resist Life ' s temptations as each one befalls, For thus will salvation be gained. Of thy teachings in later life we shall have need Recollecting thy glory and fame; Bj courage and wisdom we hope to succeed And bring honor to thy fair name. We hail thee again as of yore, M. Chonin. Sweaty-four 19261 CARD I N VI_ Junior Class Poem The time will come, with joy and pain. When we shall leave thy halls of fame. And go far from these mountains ' round. To set our feet on other ground. And when we leave thy hills and streams, And go to gain our choicest dreams. We ' ll hold in memory ' s fond embrace These pictures, with their fairest grace. For wisdom, truth and love, all three Dear Alma Mater, come from thee, And like the beauty of each art These gifts from us will ne ' er depart. Hut when we leave thy portals fair, And go far from thy mothering care, We know, whate ' er the storms above. We can not go beyond thy love. Dora D. Smith. Seventy-five 1926 CARDI NAL 1926 EXTRA !

Therefore, we will give them pitiless publicity hoping thereby to bring about meritorious reforms. Pro Bono Publico, say we! MURDER! MURDER! MURDER! Man Murdered In Cold Blood. No Clues. Police Puzzled. Woman Suspected. Mr. Norman Davis, butler at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roswell Cluckey, was mur- dered last night. As near as we can esti- mate, the murder occurred at about 11.30. Mr. Davis was peacefully smoking his clay pipe when the door cautiously opened and a draped figure entered. The next moment he lay in a heap alongside his chair. The murderer made a clean get-away. Not only did the murderer get away, hut be or she took time to look through the private desk and get a bundle of papers. It is supposed that these papers were let- ters. Police Alger Davis iind Philip Sullivan believe that the murderer was a woman desiring to get certain letters which Mr. Davis had in bis possession. Possibly it was a schoolgirl chum who is believed to be in this section at this time. Our re- porters, Butcher and Burington, are ex- pected to solve the mystery. FASHION SHOPPE, BEAUTY PARLOR, RYAN ' S BLOCK AND MANY OTHER BUILDINGS LOST Great crowds gathered to view the burn- ing of a portion of the business section of Juniorvillc this morning at 10 o ' clock. One entire block owned by Pop Ryan was burned to the ground. Some of the heaviest losers were: Beauty Parlor of Shroeder. Mason and Cronkrite. Inc. Estimated loss, one- half dozen hair nets, two curling irons, one nail file, a gas heater, three bottles of hair tonic. The matrimonial agency of Boyle, Bil- limrs Noyes also suffered a heavy loss. The principal theater of the village, managed by Miss Betty Lawless, assisted by Mr. Don Bristol, was totally destroyed. Esther Malatsky ' s Fashion Shoppe Was wiped out but she carried a heavy insur- ance. Several apartments burned and a num- ber of persons were in grave danger. Mrs. Conley, formerly Marian Turk, narrowly escaped death when she jumped from u fourth story window into a life net with a youngster in each arm. Celia Trudeau was seen dragging her old drunken hus- band. Lawrence Lefevre, out of the flam- ing building. Spencer Ames, Chief of the Fire Depart- ment, was injured by the suffocating smoke while rescuing Emily Kupisewski and Helen Clark.

GREAT MUSICAL SPECIALTY Miss Marie Cronin and Miss Agatha ltooney, who have become famous in the musical world, gave a wonderful entertain- ment last evening at the Ritzy Hotel on upper Main Street. Miss Cronin kept her audience spellbound by her sweet, mellow voice and the selections rendered by Miss Rooney on the piano and violin brought many people who had not (lamed for forty years to their feet so that the floor was crowded to its capacity.

The wedding march was played by Dora Smith. The wedding was held in the Methodist Church and the Rev. Edmund II. Viemeister officiated. Some of the out-of-town guests were Linda Wells and Mollic Stanton. Surely we all hope them boh voyage on their quest for happiness on the sea of matrimony.

Carlson 1926 Our Leader Have you ever watched such a spectacular sight as a group of West Point Cadets under drill? Watched, and felt amazed at the wonderful control the com- mander had over the .soldiers, both individually and collectively ? Let us take some- thing nearer at home for consideration. Everyone has seen great moving picture scenes and successes where the director has produced masterpieces through his wisdom and the corporation of each and every one under his direction. We often sit and think what a great learning, tact, foresight, personality and many other characteristics that man must have. Then our mind wonders and we try to recall some of the great leaders who have helped shape our lives: we often find that there have heen a number of leaders who have been instrumental, some to a great extent and some to a lesser. The class of ' 27 has now in its mind the picture of a man who has in the past and will in the future be a great leader. Who is this helper? We take pleasure in telling you that this person is William G. Thompson, our Faculty Advisor. When the class of ' 27 began its first year at the Normal School we received many useful and guiding talks from Mr. Thompson. Win never we were confronted with a great difficulty we knew where to go to find the necessary aid which we needed. Why was it that we went to this man for help? There were surely many reasons. First, we felt that he was willing to give help. It seemed to us that he made it plain by his acts that he wanted to help us to become better educated in every way. Our class surely realized this was a great leader because at the beginning of the second year we elected Mr. Thompson as our Faculty Advisor. Ever since that time he has been acting as our leader and helper, officially. Who is it to whom we have gone to receive aid in solving our greatest prob- lems? Who is it that we have received aid from in lessons as well as outside affairs? Who is it that offers his services to the students at all times for social affairs, whether in school or out? There is no need to insert the name here as you have guessed and know the answer. It is at this time, Mr. Thompson, that the class of ' 27 wishes to thank you in an informal manner for the many things you have done for us thus far at the Normal .School. Through your patience, love and service we have succeeded in spending, without a doubt, two of the most profitable years in our lives. Norman Davis. Eighty 1926 CARD I N v L_. 1926 A Junior ' s Daily Grind The normal Normal student ' s day begins at seven o ' clock. The student awakens, rubs eves, throws off covers and courageously arises. She does her daily dozen on either the floor or window sill. (Use your own judgment.) After this the student closes the window, turns on the heat, crawls lovingly back into bed and sleeps in a restful position calmly, with no disturbance until five minutes of eight. Raises her head from the depths of the bed, cocks one eye at the clock, utters a faint damn and dashes madly for her clothes. Cleans teeth with cold cream, discovers her mistake and applies cream angrily to face. Toothpaste not to be found, decides to omit that hygienic duty. Grabs a hat and coat and also some books, starts down the stairs. Heavens, her vanity case! Found. She again descends to the street, runs all the way to the boarding-house, breakfast all gone, boarding-house closed until noon. Continues on the trot to school. Arrives at school, throws door open and with a merry warble on her lips, stu- d( nt enters the classroom. Smiles extra sweetly at teacher, hoping he hasn ' t noticed she is fifteen minutes late. Smile wasted as the teacher has a toothache. Very touchy, both the tooth and teacher. Student spreads her books about on the desk, opens a notebook and then settles back in a chair. Tries hard to look interested by sleeping quietly until the lull rings. Kind neighbor nudges her. Time for the next move. Feeling very much refreshed from her first period class, the student feels the day is going very smoothly. Powders her nose and enters next class. Settles down in chair feeling just a slight trembling in the knees. Wishes she had studied more the night before. Makes solemn vow to start in that very night. An almost soli of relief escapes when bell announces another class. He didn ' t call on me today. Decides after all maybe she is rather foolish to make such a vow. Third period class, teacher picks up cards and starts calling on students. Student bites nails all period. Teacher calls on her; no chance to bluff. Fails miserably, but gets 50 per cent, for saying I don ' t know. Sits down and makes a more solemn vow. Bell rings, classes adjourn to study hall. From the study hall she starts marching to assembly. Tries to move into row with her chum, but teachers all seem to be looking her way, so the student marches primly into assembly. Very good posture, Victim gives essay, student feels so sorry for her. cries in sympathy. She goes on with her essay in a week unless Daddy gets her sooner. After assembly she feels very hungry so buys some candy. Annoys teacher greatly in fourth period class by unwrapping candy. Finally gets a chance and E ' lulity-one CARD I N A L sticks candy into lier mouth. Then she annoys teacher by chewing rapidly. Noontime she returns to the boarding-house. Through the maze of arms reach- ing across the table for food, student manages to grab a piece of ham and a chunk of bread. Feeling very much satisfied with her successful attempt she sends praises to boarding-house lady about her wonderful meal. In the afternoon returns to school, works religiously until four o ' clock. School adjourns to Dunton ' s, Candy land, or Coste ' s. After evening meal, student studies from seven o ' clock until seven-thirty. Feel- ing well prepared for next day ' s session, allows a sedate and proper young man to call and converse with her for the evening. Student (irmly resolves to send him home at nine-thirty. She must obey rules at all cost. Her reputation! It must be preserved. As student winds clock, she decides day went very smoothly and the evening was well spent. Makes bold resolution to get to school on time. Makes another vow that she is going to study hard — after the ten-week tests. Opens window, turns oil ' heat, concludes not to do any exercises tonight and dreaming of a porter- house steak, falls to sleep. Marian B. Pehrin.

I am one of the largest classes that ever entered P. S. N. S„ and I seem to have a great deal of worthwhile material among my members. The other classes seem to think that I am very insignificant, but it won ' t be long before I will have gained an equal footing with even the Supercilious Seniors. September 15. 1925 J had a meeting the other day. Officers were elected. They are: Francis Mor- houSj president; Kathleen Penfield. vice-president; Margaret Hagan. secretary ; and Robert Farnsworth. treasurer. Mr. Todd was chosen faculty critic. Witli these able leaders, I believe I shall become prominent in spite of my infanev. September 30. 1926 The upperelassmen gave me a reception, everybody had a good time — it was all vi ry amusing and entertaining. October, 1925 1 gave a return party to the Junior and Senior classes for the reception they gave me. They all danced in the Gym, refreshments were served, and everybody en- joyed it. November, 1925 A large number of my members are in the Glee Clubs, in fact, they are taking a lively interest in all school activities. December, 1925 Well, now I have reason to be proud of myself— six of mv members made the basketball squad: Charles F.llfc, Leo Laravie. Mario Dell ' avero, Kenneth Brown Kermit Williams and Leo Grenier. With such skillful players representing me I am bound to become distinguished. Speaking of athletics. Lillian Balder and Evelyn Forcier have made the girls ' basketball squad. Their playing is certainly an asset to the team and to the school. Myrtle Maloney was chosen Freshman cheer leader. Francis Burke is our Freshman representative on the Cardinal staff. We expect great things of him. February, 1926 I gave the midyear dance. Everybody agreed that it was the event of the year. The Gym was beautifully decorated in my colors, blue and gold, the music was exceptionally good, everybody was there and in high spirits— in a word, it was perfection ! March, 1926 A musical comedy. Rings in the Sawdust, was given under the direction of Mr. Street and Mr. Terwilliger. A good many of mv members were on hand to take part in it, and as usual they played their parts well. A call from our school for support has never passed by unheeded. 1 have always lent willing hands and loyal hearts to the occasion, whatever it might be. June, 1926 I have completed my life as a Freshman. Reluctantly I take leave of P. S. ' S - even for ll(,rt tin i e ' °ut I am looking forward with joyful anticipation to next year when I shall no longer be hampered by greenness and subordination, for I shall be recognized as the Junior class, exalted bv mv superior wisdom. With my illustrious members, skillful athletes, diligent students, never failing in lovaltv always willing to serve, I can do nothing else but more gloriously continue on tlie road to fame along which T have so ably started.

Ninety-out 1926 1926 Freshman Class Poem The mill of time grinds slowly At a never-changing pace; The old wheel has been turning With water from its race. With not a thought for weather, Through sunshine, snow, or rain, The old mill keeps on turning Like a faithful weathervanc. The old mill has been grinding All through long ages told. Yea, turning, shaping, grinding The precious hours of gold. Each golden hour shaped carefully. Each rilled with sixty jewels; Rewards for the wise — the worker, But sealed to hands of fools. To reap these jewels we ' ve labored, Aye, strived with might to claim Our laurel spray of vict ' ry As the Spartan — for his fame. As Freshmen, with our labors, We ' ve gained each costly jewel, While the old mill still is grinding In the Plattsburgh Normal School. Jessie Bover. Nintty-tmo 1926 issh CARD I NAL The Mid- Year Dance On the evening of February - ' i. 1926, we donned our best bibs and tuckers and sallied forth to attend the event of the year at the Normal School. Of course, this was the tnid-yenr dance held by the Freshman class in the gymnasium. And what a triumph it was ! As we entered the building, haunting strains of music and sounds of tinkling laughter greeted our ears. But — what was this? Where had we wandered? Surely this veritable fairyland of blue and gold could not be the hare, uninviting gym that we knew. As if by the magic of a fairy ' s wand, it had been transformed into a Symphony of color and harmony. The. walls and ceiling were attractively decorated with the class colors. In the center of the floor a blue and gold bower had been constructed for the orchestra, and at either end of the room were inviting nooks lit by softly shaded lamps. The Freshman banner was hung directly opposite the entrance. Punch and cookies were served. For four short hours we were transported from our prosaic world to a rainbow tinted, rhythmical, Elysium. The patronesses and patrons were: .Mrs. Hawkins. Mrs. Shallies. Mrs. Ter- willigcr, Mrs. Todd. Dr. Geo. K. Hawkins. Mr. Shallies, Mr. Terwilliger. Mr. Todd.

For our class has been so outstanding, so thoughtful of others, so worthy of the praise that has been showered upon it that we may well say. Classes may come and classes may go, but our class goes on forever. ' ' Three years have rolled by since the class of 1926 made its debut in Plattsburgh State Normal. And what an appearance we made! One hundred and five strong. We were young, enthusiastic, and eager for the laurels that were to come to us by dint of an honest endeavor. Not too long after school opened in the fall of ' 23 the class met for the. first time as a unit, with only one thought in our hearts and minds — the welfare of the class of ' 26. To guide us along the highways and byways of social life we elected our class officers: President. Louis Drinkwine; vice-president, Frances Allen; secretary, Pearl O ' Donnell; treasurer, Charles Behan. These officers proved to be worthy of the trust placed in them. Even in the first year here we proved that our class was to be second to none. In all school activities it held a place that was envied by all. On the basketball court it was represented by Herwood Prevost and Maurice Rabinowitz, who for three years have been the leading spirits in all athletic activities. But these two were not the only ones. The work of I.ois Del.ano and Edith Huber cannot be over- looked. These four have given to our class added glories, and in the annual basket- ball contest the class of ' 26 was successful against the class of ' 25. Not only have we been first on the basketball court, but always in whatever task was undertaken you will recall that ' 2(i led all the rest. We hate to think what the school orchestra would have been like if Ruth Ledger, Dorothy Brothers, Catherine Oles, Christine Bramen, Edith Huber and Louis Drink- wine had not given freely of their time and talent. Think of it — in an orchestra of about ten members, six belong to the class of ' 26. And so we find it in all line of school activities. When the school play was One hundred three CARDINAL presented in 1924, under the able direction of Edwin L. Taylor, four of our class- mates aided materially in the success which this production attained. Our successes were not all confined to social affairs, however, for we proved our worth in the classroom as well. When June, 192 1, came and our first year at Pittsburgh State Normal was completed our records were deserving of the highest praise. Then came vacation, which passed all too quickly. In September we returned to the scenes which had become so dear to the hearts of each of us. The officers elected for our Junior year were: President, Maurice Rabinowitz; vice -president, Gertrude Heath; secretary. Pearl O ' Donnell; treasurer, Hugh Con- wav. The choice was a wise one and under the leadership of these able associates the class of ' 26 continued to add to its successes and triumphs. The work begun in 1923 was continued. As before, our presence was felt in the classroom and on the basketball court. This same year two of our classmates, Lois Del.ano and Ruth 1. arson, were elected as officers of the Athletic Association. Then, too, when the crv went out for a school play and the cast was decided upon, it was found that four Juniors. Margaret Tunney. Harriett Lavison, Hugh Conway and Francis Ryan, had been chosen to participate as the foremost characters in the production, Let ' s All Get Married. June, 1925. brought Commencement and the realization that we were to part from our loyal friends, the Seniors. For two years we had been comrades and although a spirit of rivalry had existed between the two classes, it had always been of the friendliest nature. When the time for actual separation came there was no thought of ourselves, but only a feeling of regret that from this time forth our paths must lie apart. The fall of 1925 found us once more assembled within the halls of Normal, this lime as Seniors. This year we had added duties, a Junior class of questionable ability to discipline, and a Freshman group of one hundred and forty members to mold into a class worthy of the highest commendation. Our first thought was to elect officers that would direct us in this most important year of our school life and the selection was: President. Maurice Rabinowitz: vice-president, Catherine Oles; secretary, Pearl O ' Donnell; treasurer, Hugh Con- way. That they have done this is manifested by the numerous things which we have accomplished. We have patronized every school activity, whether it be lectures, basketball games, plays, parties, or school dances. Always the class of ' 26 has been ready to give freely of its moral, physical, mental and financial support. One hundred (our CARD INAL On the evening of January 20, 1926, the Senior class was host at a banquet given in honor of the faculty of our school at the Hotel Witherill. This is the first time in the history of the institution that such an affair has been held, and it proved to he a pleasant and enjoyable occasion. Thus cndeth the history of this class. To be sure you will not find here an account of all its achievements, but rather a resume of its brief but exciting biog- raphy. The class of ' 26 has been a leader, not a follower, and has proved itself to be a class of exceptional ability, of sincerity, and of loyalty. As the succeeding years unfold before its members may they keep ever present in their minds our motto. Onward and Upward, as well as the thought that There is no friend like an old friend Who has shared our morning days. No greeting like his welcome. No homage like his praise. Fame is the scentless sunflower With gaudy crown of gold. But friendship is the breathing rose With sweets in every fold. R. Pauline Rosedrook. One hundred five 1926 CARD I N vVI_ 1926 Class Oration The crown and the glory of life is character. It is the most noble possession of a man and woman, constituting a rank in itself, and an estate in the general good- will; dignifying every station of life; exalting every position in society. It does, however, exercise a greater power than wealth and secures all the honor without the jealousies of fame. Character carries with it an influence which always tells; for it is a result of a proved honor, honesty and harmony — qualities which com- mand the general confidence and respect of mankind. Character is human nature in its best form. It is moral order, embodied in the individual. Men of character are not only the conscience of society, but in every well-governed state they arc its best motive power; for it is the moral qualities which rule the. world. The strength, the industry and the civilization of nations, all depend upon the individual character. To be worth anything, character must be capable of standing firmly upon its feet in the world of daily work, temptation and trial. The life that rejoices in solitude may be only rejoicing in selfishness. Seclusion may indicate contempt for others; but it means at times laziness, cowardice or self-indulgence. To every human being belongs his share of manful toil and human duty, and it cannot be shirked without loss to the individual himself as well as to the community to which he belongs. It is only by mixing in the daily life of the world and taking part in its affairs that practical knowledge can be acquired and wisdom learned. It is in everyday life that we find our chief sphere of duty and learn the discipline of work, and that we. educate ourselves in that patience, diligence, and endurance which mold our character. There we encounter the difficulties, the trials and tribulations which according as we deal with them give a color to our entire after-life, and there we become subject to the great discipline of suffering, from which we learn far more than if we were in safe seclusion. Energy of character has always a power to evoke energy in others. It acts through sympathy, one of the most influential of human agencies. The zealous, energetic man and woman unconsciously carry others along with them. Their example is contagious, and inspires imitation. They exercise a sort of electrical One hmitlretl x .r 1926 Ft ID I N 11926 power which sends a tlirill through every liber and flows into the nature of those about them. What greater quality could a teacher possess? Contact with others is also a requisite to enable a man to know himself. It is only by mixing freely in the world that one can form a proper estimate of his own worth. Without such experi- ence one is apt to become conceited, puffed up, and arrogant. At all events, he will remain ignorant of himself, though he may have enjoyed no other company. The acquirement of character is very much a question of models; we model ourselves unconsciously after the characters, manners, habits and opinions of those who are about us. Good rules may do much but good models far more. It is impor- tant since we imitate that we exercise great care in the selection of companions, especially in youth. There is a magnetic force in young persons which insensibly tends to assimilate them to each other ' s likeness. The humblest person who sets before his fellows an example of industry, seriousness, and upright honesty of pur- pose in life has a present as well as a future influence upon the well-being of his country. His life and character pass unconsciously into the lives of others and set a good example for the future. Imitation is. for the most part, so unconscious that its effects are almost unheeded but it is influential to the utmost degree. We are stepping from school life into life ' s school, of small, incompetent groups and should you not elevate the character of your school and the children? Put a noble spirit into leading the boys and girls by attracting their good and noble feel- ings. Make them feel that they are fellow workers and sharers with you in the moral responsibility for the good government of the community. You will create a responsibility of virtue and self-respect. You will be looked upon as a living image of noble character which will inspire and form an indestructible union. You should be the masters of character. You should set a living example even though you have comparatively little culture, slender abilities, and but little wealth. If your character be of sterling worth, you will always command an influence, whether it be in the class- room or in the business world. Adele Gardner. Oiii hundred seven m cardinal m Charge to the Juniors My task this afternoon, Junior class, is by no means a pleasant one. It is with a great deal of pain that I look down upon you and know that I have to ti ll the truth about you. A sense of loyalty to the school prevents me from telling certain things. Don ' t look so frightened. The day you entered the Normal School was indeed a lucky one for you. There Certainly was a large number of you. but, as we learned afterwards, the quality was very poor. In fact, a few days after school had begun that year, certain mem- bers of the faculty remarked that there should be a severe examination required for entrance to the Normal School since there were a great many entering school who bad no right to be here. After the faculty had recognized the material they had to work with, they assumed the task of training you directly. They put you in a class called Freshman. We were no longer allowed to observe in your classes but wi re given the brighter and more intelligent classes of the Normal High School. Early in the year you elected some relation of the Gumps, I believe, for your president. Poor fellow! When be first came to the Normal School he was a perfect picture of health and — beauty. But at last, one year of the trials and sufferings you imposed upon him was enough. No longer is he among your number but is confined to his home in Morrisonville. a nervous, broken-down wreck. Some of you had graduated from the Normal High School, after going there for six years instead of four. Of course, you had observed the classes in the Normal School during these years. When ymi entered the Normal School you thought you knew just what to do. So, when you beard that we were writing some songs for song day. you decided to follow our example. That was the first indication of intelligence on your part. One little, fat. dark-haired fellow was full of ambition that morning. He ran up and down tin ' hall bumping into everyone in his way, in a wild endeavor to secretly distribute carbon copies of your class song to you. You thought you were real clever in writing your song and that no one else knew about it. Imagine your surprise and chagrin that morning in the study hall when we began to sing The Freshman Ain ' t No More. No More. a parody on your class song. In assembly that morning your cheer leaders were wonders; as cheer leaders they would make good plumbers. Although you had practiced for several weeks, you failed to re- One hundred eii lil 19261 O Ft D I N A 1926 spond to their random movements. Again the little fat fellow came to the rescue, together with the tall, blond woman. They made a good pair. When they saw that you were so stupid, they shouted your class song all by themselves. They were not so good, but they were quite loud. Your first social undertaking was a party given to the upperclassmen. Was it a success? Absolutely NOT! But what could we expect from you? The only refreshments you served were stale crackers and salty ice cream. Even then you waited until late in the evening so that you would have enough to go around. Later in the term you tried to redeem yourself by giving a mid-year dance. How did that turn out ? You left the decorating and everything else concerning it until the day of the dance. You even forgot to wax the floor. As a result the affair was a complete failure. Afterwards you said that the mid-year examinations interfered with your plans for giving the dance and the greater number of you that failed gave for an alibi that the preparation for the dance had caused you to fail. All we can say is that it is too bad you failed in both. Remember, if you can think back that far, the dance we gave in June. Could there be a better one? Of course, this wonderful social affair is just an example of the way we do everything we undertake. If you were only Chinese you could at least imitate us perfectly, In September, 1925, you came back to school with that know all expression. Socrates, a noted Greek philosopher, once said something to this effect, The biggest fool is the one who thinks he knows everything. The election of your officers was just an example of how little you really knew. Your president could never keep order in your class meetings. What a joke those meetings were. It was seldom that any of the boys, except the officers, came to class meetings; the hair-pulling and disorder on the part of the girls scared ' the faint-hearted lads away. It was not until after two years that you could get half the class to report in order to decide upon a class ring. The minutes of the meetings were filled with pitiful requests from the treasurer for dues. Once, this same treasurer nearly became grey- headed over night thinking that he would have to pay out of his own pocket some debts that the class did not have enough money to meet at the time. Since the class game in which you won from us by the narrow margin of two points, you continually talked, boasted and bragged about it. The human mechanism is a complicated machine; you pat a man on the back and his head swells. Since then you have been patting yourself on the back. But you showed your poor sportsmanship when you refused to play the Freshman class. Real brave boys. One hundred ninr — — ga r aren ' t you: Don ' t forget when you are backing away from everything which seems the least bit difficult that the Lord hates a coward. There is a great movement now on foot in this State for further vocational education. It is certainly too bad that you couldn ' t have had proper vocational training. If you had had, none of you would be here and the great problem of getting rid of you that now confronts the school would have been obliterated. Our greatest regret is to leave the school with you as the upperclassmen. The school is about to sustain a great loss by our departure. What will people say when they find that the school is represented by you? We suggest that you soak your head wi cold water all summer and that you remember you are only young and not so important. Brace up and be straight, honest, persevering and earnest — like our class. Do your utmost next year. Turn out and support something once in a while. Do your best and possibly you may succeed. Herwood Phevost. Our hiimlri ' if ten EES CA R E I 1 3E1 1926 Reply to the Seniors For thirty-five years tlie graduates of this institution have been the pride of New York State. But alas! In the fall of 1923, what should appear before the eyes of Dr. Hawkins and the faculty of this school but this group of clattering, clamoring, wild-eyed derelicts. Something had to be done to regain the standard of the institution. Hardly a month had passed ere rumors of this disaster had reached the darkest and most remote sections of the country. During the months that followed the rumors became facts and it was realized throughout the State that something must be done. The ever-faithful alumni realized that the salvation of their Alma Mater rested on their shoulders. They immediately set about explaining to their most brilliant students the condition of their Alma Mater and the necessity of a restoration. These students, feeling that they owed to the State a debt, decided to enter the Normal School. So in the fall of 1921 this group of cultured, superior, intel- lectual students came to bridge the gap made, by the class of ' 26. Seniors, it is a pity that you are to be turned loose on the helpless youth of the State. Who knows what you will do? Only time will tell. I think the people who are gathered here today to watch you perform should know about your failures here at the Normal School. Let us turn back in our memory, if you Seniors have any, to a Wednesday when WE entered the Normal School. On that day there was great rivalry between the class of ' 25 and you, to see who would win our good-will. Of course we were prepared for that, and knew it would be folly to back you up, who had so loyally lived up to your motto of Back- ward and Downward. So we cast our lot with the class of ' 25 for the ensuing year. You, thinking to stage a comeback, invited us to a party in OUR honor. At 7.30 we assembled in Normal Hall. The atmosphere was tense. It was a last, dying attempt on your part to win us to your cause. The curtain parted. A scrawny arni extended a sign which read, The Great Greek Play, Oroastus. This play certainly was Greek to all assembled there. The so-called actors, being so timid One hundred eleven mWMEM llllKEll 1926 anil shy. feared they would forget their lines so they had one of their classmates, in distress, read their parts while they endeavored to act. We knew you were scared stiff, that your identity would he learned for you robed yourselves in sheets. Pos- sibly you did belong to the K. K. K. of old Greece. When finally the play came to an end. as all bad things must, it was quite evi- dent that it was Oh Roast Us. You poor creatures had failed trying to show your dramatic ability. One chance was left. We were asked to retire to the gym where dancing and games would be enjoyed. We certainly enjoyed Three Deep, and some other jazz hits that you had cooked up for our entertainment. It ended. You were despondent. But you felt certain that when class day came round you would be the first to sing and laud your praise. You wanted revenge. You had not had a song to sing back when you were Freshmen and you thought we would be in the same predicament. As the days passed with little or nothing heard from us, you thought your attempt at revenge was camouflaged. So one morning, disobeying orders, you fraudulently led Mr. Shallies to believe that you had permission to sing your so- called song. You herded yourselves in the Girls ' Study Hall and bellowed forth some tuneless jumble of words. You had gained your goal only to be thwarted by us. We had our songs and cheers ready and replied in a manner befitting a dignified class. Much to your chagrin and mortification you were told that the class day would be on the morrow. Again you had utterly failed. On the following day it was discovered that your stencil had been found. Copies of your supposedly secret song had been run off and passed around the school. So heart-breaking was this defeat to you that it was decided not to have class day this year for fear you would not be able to stand another shock. Weeks had passed since your defeat. Now that you had partly recovered WE decided to give you a real good time, so we invited you to attend our dance given after mid-term exams. So completely enchanting and so enjoyable was the occasion that in spite of your ill feeling toward us you had to admit that it was better than anything ever attempted at Normal. The rest of the year passed with little or no excitement except on a few occa- sions when one of our teachers was ill and one of your class was told to try to instruct us. We shall never forget the results of these opportunities afforded you. You certainly tried to carry yourselves in a sedate and teacher-like manner, but nevertheless you could not. cover up the rapping sound that was made by the knocking of your knees, the shaking of your shoulders when a question was asked of you. or the twitching of your mouth when you tried to answer. But .all that would come forth was that-t-t is-s a g-o-o-d q-ues-tion f-f-for you-u-u to-o 1-o-o-k u-up. So sorry did we feel for you that we just let you stammer on and think that you were putting it over. One hundred twelve 19261 CARD I N 1926 June finally came to relieve you of your troubles and cares for a short time. Indeed it was a short time for us, for it seemed that we had hardly got rid of you, when you popped up again. This time there was no upperclass for you to look to for aid; the ship was yours to sail as you pleased. So uncertain were you of your bearings that you immediately consulted us and asked our aid in tendering a party to the Freshmen. Rather than let you run aground we accepted your offer to pilot you on, and so throughout this year have we kept you afloat. But now you are to go out to sea by yourself. We trust that you know how to signal S. O. S., for we still feel responsible for your attempt to make good. Speaking of S. O. S., I am reminded of the night when our worthy Junior boys so utterly annihilated your lads in a basketball game on the Old High School court. Seniors, do you remember that cry? S. O. S. — S. O. S. Seniors. — Seniors in distress. So exact and expressive are these words, that should I say nothing further your career would be well described. Seniors, only too well is your plight represented by the expressions on your faces. No doubt, many a student will be wishing that for their sakes this day had never come to pass. But remember you are never so helpless but that you could be worse off. Many a man has fallen by the wayside only to stay there. It is better for you to creep than walk, for by creeping you may attain something. If you try to walk you will only continue your career, by stumbling on from one failure to another and finally fall off into oblivion. Seniors, in a few words I have tried to picture to you and your friends the conditions under which you have but existed. It would be useless for me to go on. although I have but half enumerated the ways in which y ou have lost out. It is with deep regret that we Juniors must stand by and see you depart into the world to meet your fate or seek your fortune. As this is the last time that we shall be informally assembled, we, the class of ' 27, extend to you our sincerest desire for your success as teachers. Though we have advertised your shortcomings we have said nothing of your qualities, and silence speaks louder than words. If you go Onward and Upward. Through Courage and Wisdom You Will Succeed. Ernest G. Lemieux. One hundred thirteen 1926 CARD I NAL 1926 President ' s Address Members of the faculty, parents, schoolmates, classmates, friends: Life is a challenge to the bold. It flings its gauntlet dow n And bids us, if we seek for gold And glory and renown. To come and take them from its store — It will not meekly hand them o ' er. Our profession challenges the best in us. We are to be molders, leaders and imparters of knowledge. The teacher ' s spirit is synonymous with the family spirit of helpfulness. There are teachers who enter their classrooms, impart knowledge in a perfunctory way. and leave the room, never giving their pupils another thought until the next recitation time. This certainly is not real teaching. Teaching should occupy us more than the hours spent each day in the. classroom. It can never be limited to the events of the classroom. Pupils are not simply to be taught subject matter, they are to be led to the best we can lead them; just as we have been led. Let us here resolve that we are going out not as mere imparters of knowledge, not for the mere performance of duties, but as leaders of youngsters. Let us en- deavor at all times to bring out those qualities in a child which are only awakened by a parent or a teacher. Perhaps we shall be successful, perhaps not. Satisfac- tion shall come because of the good honest try we shall make. Success is not always measured by material things. Success is measured by the pleasurable sensation of work well done. We have come to the State Normal School at Plattsburgh, stayed three, short yens, and now we leave. What we owe to the faculty and our parents is more than our most generous estimate. What wise counsels we have received from them! What a wonderful example they have been for us! Let us repay them as I believe they would want to be repaid, by we ourselves doing for others what they have done for us. Juniors and Freshmen, soon you are to be Seniors and Juniors and your re- sponsibilities for the reputation of P. S. N. S. will increase. We feel that you can carry them and will do so, bringing credit and honor to yourselves and to this institution. Classmates, you have highly honored me by electing me to serve as vour President for two years. We have successfully solved some hard problems together. They are insignificant when compared to the problems we are about to face, but let us strive for the same success. Oni ' hundred fourteen RDINAL; 11926 Senior Class Song Air: On the Road to Mandalay. In a green and fertile valley, in tlie Northland, up away By a peaceful, crystal water, there we met one autumn day. At a shrine of hoary wisdom, at a school renowned and old We met and worked together, to ' fend our colors bold. Oh! the crimson was for bravery The silver stood for fame And they both were kept untarnished through the years as each they came. Ah ! the crimson stood for beauty And the silver, honor bright Aye, for truth, and love, and duty, and these all made up the right. We have delved in dusty learning; we have danced the fleet hours by, We have made new friends and kept them, bound each one by golden ties, But the greatest of our gainings, lies in the ideals made And in the halls of memory, those pictures never fade. Oh ! the best that we have learned Can ' t be found in honors won, You ' ll not rind it in the class work, in the papers we have done. But the things we ' ll carry with us Yhen we leave these gates today Are the stars we have before us for our guides along the way. Now the golden sun is setting, over all our happy years; And it sends a benediction, tho ' we ' re blinded by our tears, And the old familiar classrooms, and the walls we ' ve known so long Are a blur of gentle grayness. as we sing our parting song. So it ' s upward we will climb. And it ' s onward we will go. For we know our Alma Mater will be proud to have it so. And no matter where we are. We will add unto her fame. All success we win. and glory we will credit to her name. Jilia Gardephe. One hundred fifteen 19261 CA R. D INAL 11926 Salutatory Parents, friends, teachers and classmates: It has been said by one of the greatest philosophers of all time that no one docs anything without an ulterior mo- tive. So we, the class of 1926, realize on this Commencement day, more than ever, that our motive has been a worthy one, that of becoming a member of a very honor- able, ancient and useful profession which has for its fundamental and primary purpose the advancement, of civilization and the welfare of all mankind. Three, years ago, in accordance with our desires and to accomplish our purpose, we entered upon our studies in this institution. ' This day then seemed fat off on the horizon. From that time until now our ambition, our desire, our goal, seemed at various stages of our labors un surmountable. But now, Commencement, the climax of our scholastic career in these memorable halls has been achieved. Dear parents, who have sacrificed and striven hard to make it possible for our ambitions to be realized, it is the greatest privilege in our lives to bid you welcome. To our friends, who have made possible the accomplishment of this, our goal, we also extend greetings. To the faculty of this institution who have always given us a helping hand and who have cooperated sympathetically in giving us the splendjd training which is so necessary if we are to be of any use in the future of our country. We owe a debt of gratitude which cannot be expressed. Our firm hope is that by our lives and in fulfilling our duties as teachers we can repay, in some measure, your good example. You have helped in the building of our charac- ters by keeping ever in mind the maxim that character is the, basis of the. trust upon which the life of a community is founded. We feel that we have been fully prepared for one of the noblest of professions, teaching. With graduation the gate is thrown open. We enter upon our career. As sons and daughters of this Normal School we shall go out and try our best to measure up to the ideals and standards that have been set for us. It is my high honor to bid you, our guardians, our teachers, our good friends, welcome. From the deepest corner of each heart of the members of the class of I!)26 comes the glad echo Welcome. Nellie E. Cardillo. One hundred sixteen -Ji HB M —19261 Valedidrory Once upon a time ;i very wise man said, Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. This is the day of all the days that hare been, and are to come, classmates. It is also a fitting day for us to consider this ancient proverb, asking our hearts to what degree we have lived by its wise and prudent words. This will determine just how deserving we are of the great honor which has been bestowed upon us this day. As each of us searches his heart now, he will undoubtedly remember times when instruction seemed very unnecessary. We may have scorned a kind word of guidance or advice. But now we have discovered the folly of our ways, and realize the full value of those words. Therefore, classmates, let us agree that we are never too wise for instruction. Our school days may be over, but lif e will offer us greater instruction than any school ever has. By remembering the sad desserts our arrogance reaped us while we were still students in the Normal School, we may derive greater benefits from the golden opportunities which life, in her generosity, will offer us. This is the day for us to soberly review our past life, severing the good from the bad, the worthy from the unworthy, so that when we leave the portals of our Alma Mater, and begin our journey on life ' s road, we shall take with us only those ideals, and those parts of our lives, most praiseworthy. To you. our worthy teachers, we owe all that we are. We can hardlv express our humble gratitude in simple words. During our three years here you have acted not only as our teachers, but as our advisors and friends. You have forgiven our thoughtless misdemeanors, helping us to retrieve our self-respect, and at the same time stamping into our hearts priceless lessons, never to be forgotten. Your pre- cepts, your ideals, you yourselves, will be part of us, wherever life may beckon; and perchance, some day, the class of nineteen hundred twenty-six will justify vour faith in it. while it proves its own worth to the world. Classmates, this is our Commencement day, the day when we begin our lives as independents units. We are independent units, but some of us will travel hand in hand as we have traveled through our school days. The rest of us will choose different paths, leading from life ' s main road, acquiring new friends, but not for- getting the old ones. Many times we shall meet at different crossroads for life is full of crossroads, and then will be a time for rejoicing. But through all our One hundred seventeen CARD I 1ST successes, through each day of our lives, whether we travel, ea ch one a different path, let us remember the honor of our class by keeping the words of Plato in our hearts: We should set the highest value, not on living, but on living well. Catherine Oles. Ivy Oration How like the ivy we are! As we cling to the dear memories of our Alma Mater for a last farewell. But it is decreed that the ivy may remain to beautify the scenes of our happy days here; while our tasks lead us to other lands, perhaps never to return again. We, the class of 1926, have determined that, when we go from here, our loyalty shall be like that of the ivy. steadfast, true, unswerving. As the ivy grows onward and upward and strengthens, year by year, so shall our love, for our Alma Mater grow stronger and truer. Onward and Upward — we have ever kept the faithful ivy in mind even in the choosing of our motto. May we ever keep our goal in mind, that of helpful service to humanity and may we beautify the lives of those about us as the ivy beautifies the wall it climbs. We have, at the beginning of our career, many good roots. The memories of our teachers, parents, friends and their encouragement and example will ever remain the base of any good service we may render. How we part, leaving the ivy as a symbol of our love and loyalty to the Normal School, its traditions, and our fellow classmates. May it ever remain a living memorial of our heart-felt gratitude to all who helped us to realize our hopes and ambitions. Elizabeth A. Ellis. Oni- hvndf6jd rir lifi ' in erary 1926 CARD I NAb 1926 The Sacrifice (Prize Story) With an exclamation of joy Marion lifted the daintiest, cloudiest gown of palest blue with a glint of silver shining here and there, from its box. She fondled the shimmering folds with caressing touches. It seemed to Marion as if her college life were reaching its climax, for was not the Prom — the Prom about which every girl had talked for months — only three days away? Had she not planned and dreamed about this dance as she had never planned and dreamed about a dance before? For was not this to be her triumph? Glen I.angdon was coming to go with her. Glen I.angdon! The very name brought envy to the heart of every other girl on the campus. Not only was he tall and fair as a Viking, but he possessed the rare combination of athletic skill and keen intellect. Any girl would be thrilled at the prospect of appearing at the Prom with liim. but to Marion, who had known him since he was an ungainly lad with straw colored hair and a freckled face, play- ing hookey from school, it meant being transported to the realm of dreams come true. In the next room the golden beams of the lowering sun frolicked merrily upon the silken head of a small figure huddled on the rug, turning the waving strands to dazzling gold. A stifled sob from the girl broke the maddeningly monotonous tick-tick of the little clock. Just then Marion burst into the room, humming a lilting tune. W hy. Cynthia, what is the matter? In a moment Marion was kneeling beside her. N-n-nothing, only — Oh, Marion, I wanted so much to go to the Prom. I never go. anywhere. What do I care for all these — honors, you call them. What good is there in having the highest average in the class when you have never had a really good time? College has been nothing but hard work for me. I ' d willingly sacrifice every honor I ' ve worked so hard to win if I could o nly go to the Prom, just this once, to show you all that I ' m not ' awfully brilliant, but plain, ' and that I do care to have a bit of fun. Marion had often said just such things about Cynthia herself. Everyone knew she would carry off all the honors. But socially- — well, she was always just left out. All through that night Marion was haunted by a sorrowful, tear-stained face, and wistful, pleading, brown eyes. The day of the Prom dawned in radiant splendor. May had put on her loveliest Out hundred twenty 1926B3 WSXZS 11926 garments and was in her most frolicsome mood. The campus was gay with groups of girls hurrying to and fro. In the gym some of the seniors had assembled to arrange the flowers when in rushed Eleanor McHalc. Have you heard? Why, it ' s perfectly terrible! Marion is so ill she can ' t stir, she ' s right down in bed and has to stay there. The chorus of Oh, isn ' t that too bad ! What a shame ! How perfectly awful ! was interrupted by Eleanor ' s excited voice exclaiming. That isn ' t all. You know Glen, Glen Langdon. mind you, is already on his way here, and Marion lias insisted that Cynthia go in her place! Not Cynthia Forbes, they gasped. But the babble was stopped again by Eleanor ' s high-pitched voice. Yes, Cynthia Forbes. Marion had quite a time persuading her that it would be all right, but she finally consented. In a few moments the campus was a-buzz with the news. It seemed incredible that that quiet, studious, plain Cynthia Forbes was going to the Prom with Glen Langdon ! Marion had issued orders that no one was to be admitted to her room except Cynthia, but who was this standing before her now ? Could this golden crowned, radiant person, agleam with happy excitement be the drab Cynthia she had always known? Why. I never realized she. was so pretty, thought Marion. And that exquisite dress! Marion felt a queer tightening in her throat when sin saw that dream of cloudy blue and silver being worn by someone else. There was no doubt that Cynthia ' s first college dance would be a success. When Cynthia had gone, Marion burst into a torrent of weeping. If I had not made believe that I were ill, and had not rubbed that awful stuff into my nose and eyes so that I ' d look as if I really had a cold, I should be at the dance. I would be wearing that beautiful dress. Glen is here, and I can ' t even see him ! she Wept Where was the glory of sacrifice? The detestable imp. Jealousy, danced about gleefully and taunted her with Why did you do it? Why did you do it? She bounded out of bed, and from her open window she could look into the starlit night. The plaintive sobbing of the music, the eerie lanterns swinging, the whisper- ing winds, were out there. Out there was enchantment. And swaying to the rhythm of that enchantment another girl was dancing with Glen. Then there came to her a vision of a sorrowful, sobbing slip of a girl, whose life had been all work and no play, who asked nothing more of life than one good time. It was then that Marion experienced the tingling, thrilling joy that few of us have ever felt— the glory of sacrifice — that glowing satisfaction that can be born only of having given happiness to another. Rap, rap — tap, tap. Hastily drying her tears, Marion called Come in. One hundred twenty-one 1926 R.

With a contented sigh and a smile she sank back on her pillows.  Out beneath the swinging lanterns, the dark head of Jack Dean bent tenderly over the golden head of a slip of a girl in a cloud blue dress, and he told himself that here, at last, after his restless, wandering years, he had found the One Girl. And she. starry eyed, knew that the pleasure of this night had more than com- pensated for all the good times she had missed. Alice J. Rae. The Eight-ten Class The inky darkness still embraces all. When loud alarm upon our sleep doth break. We rub our eyes in vain attempt to wake And then, at last, heed the alarm clock ' s call. But when from out our cozy nests we crawl From icy cold we shiver and do shake, Then soon a well-worn shoestring needs must break, And trembling, we the fleeting time recall. Then out into the chilly air we go, With hunger, in our haste, by no means sated. We soon by snow or sleet are straightway fated, To drown or wade knee deep through heavy snow. No evil fate on earth can ours surpass. For we are scheduled in an eight-ten class. Mabel Close. One hundred twenty-two Elegy Written in a Country Schoolroom (With apologies to Thomas Gray) The school-hell rings the end of one more day, A pile of waiting papers now I see. The children homeward romp their noisy way. And leave the room to havoc and to me. Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight. And all the air a solemn stillness holds. Save where within the classroom to my right A fellow teacher scolds and scolds and scolds. Save from the hallway wrapped in darkness deep The moping janitor doth loud complain Of such as waking him from peaceful sleep, Molest his slumbering solitary reign. Beneath this sturdy roof, within these walls, Well sheltered from without by elm and beech Answering unto the lonely spinster ' s call. The young chalk-pushers of a nation teach. Let not ambition mock their useful toil. Their homely joys and destiny obscure, Nor higher pay for teachers try to foil The simple income taxes of the poor. Nor you. ye Proud, impute to these the fault If Fortune to these dames no husbands raise; If down the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault No wedding march doth swell the note of praise. In this neglected spot is laid away- Some heart once burning with ambitious fire; Hands that the rod of discipline now sway. Or wake to penitence the little liar. One hundred twenty-three The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear. Full many a teacher horn to bloom unseen For lack of spectacles or knobbed hair. Far from the maddening crowd ' s ignoble strife Their sober wishes ever learn to stray Till some Prince Charming comes to claim his wife And drive her in his Cadillac away. For who to dumb Forgetftilness a prey Doth not her Normal days recall to mind The halls she left on Graduation day Nor cast one longing, lingering look behind? For thee, who, mindful of the school-ma-am ' s vow, Doth in these lines her artless tale relate. If thirty-five or fort} ' years from now Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate. Haply some hoary-headed prof may say Oft have we seen her at ten after eight Rushing, wild-eyed, unto her class each day. And four of each five mornings she was late. One morn I missed her from her ' customed task I wondered then what could the matter be, No answer to my question vainly asked Nor in the hall nor in the gym was she. Next day she came with something in her hand, A paper which she showed to all around, It was a contract — then she left our land To go a-teaching in a country town. Since then we have received no news of her (Save scraps of gossip hardly worth the mention).

SLOW CURTAIN SCENE III (Shifts to Ireland) The Wake (Shifts by American Express Company through the courtesy of Station WHIFF) Curtain rises showing corpse reclining dejectedly against the shoulder of the Fool, who is hanging pictures against the mantel.

The leading lady is 35, has false teeth, hair, eyes, nose, throat, and a wooden whistle that wouldn ' t whistle. Scene shifts to the seductive south sea shores. Scene is open (can opener by Marshalls). The characters are discovered under the ukele tree. V. W. — I expound to you from the great open spaces (between her two teeth) how high is up?

On ' hum nil fwriit if-nim- 1926 CARD I NAL 1926 Woman Woman — this flapper variety — is the most wiil. lv discussed topic (indeed they may be. called that) in the world today! But who started all this discussion? An- swer to yesterday ' s puzzle: The old logy who first said, When I was a girl we couldn ' t do this, that and the other thing. ' ' It would be a hard job to find out when that was first said, but I think everyone will agree with me that it was a long, long time ago. So much for that. Now let us take up another point, What do people, our parents I mean, say of these young damsels. They say a great deal, no doubt of that. I ' ll admit that a lot of it is exaggerated, but just the same a part of it is true. The girls of our younger generation are funny, queer I mean, and their parents know all about it. Here is an instance which shows her queerness: The girl of today will tell a fellow to stop kissing her and the next day she is sore because he did what he was told not to do (if he is that kind of a guy). After all, however, this very queerness adds to their attraction. I. for one, think that the girl of today is just as nice as grandma was. The only difficulty is that she cares less about the town gossips. When the young beau of today calls, the girl is generally standing in the hall with coat and hat all ready with the question. When ' 11 we go? and then they go out riding, the boy friend steering with one hand. Yes, sir, she is just as nice as her grandmother when she went buggy-riding and the gentle swain who was driving wound the reins around the whip and — well, use your imagination. 1 should like to know the person who can say with truth that there is not as much virtue under the white lights as there is at a camp meeting. There is. however, one thing on which the women of today should be chided. That is their tendency to dress more and more as men do. Just because men ' s socks do not reach up to their knees, women start trying a stunt known as rollin ' ' em. They are even wearing knickers and getting their hair cut just like a man ' s. i suppose men should feel flattered to think that they are honored so by the opposite sex. But, thank God that women cannot grow beards! One hundred thirty 1926 CARD I NAL 1926 Man Once upon a time I thought I understood men. But. alas! I have discovered: If you Hatter man it brightens him and if you do not lie is bored to death. If you permit him to make love to you. he gets tired alter a while, and if you don ' t he gets offended in the beginning. If you agree with him in everything you cease to charm him. and if you don ' t he says you are unreasonable. If you don ' t believe all he tells you he thinks you are a cynic, and if you do. he thinks you are a fool. If you put on rouge, wear gay colors, and startling hats, a man hesitates to take you out and if you wear a little brown toque and a tailored suit he takes you out and gazes all evening at some other woman in gay colors. If you are jealous of him, he can ' t endure you and if you are not he can ' t understand you. If you join in his gaieties and approve of his smoking, drinking and carousing he vows you are leading him to the devil, and if you don ' t he calls you a wet blanket. If you are affectionate, he soon tires of your kisses and seeks consolation in some other woman ' s. If you are sweet, old-fashioned, a clinging vine, he doubts if you have brains, and if you are modern, advanced and independent, he doubts if you have a heart or scruples. If you are cute and boyish, he longs for a soul-mate. If you are brilliant and intellectual, he longs for a playmate. If you arc temperamental and poetical, he longs for a helpmate. And all the time, though he is falling in love with you for what you are, he is trying to remodel you into what you are not, never were, and never will be. Don ' t ask how these things were discovered, but — well, isn ' t it the truth? One hundred thirty-one CARD IlNryVL Who Knows? Mimi was not a beauty. Let that be understood. But she is a heroine — the heroine of my little romance. This is just to prove to myself and readers that all heroines arc not beautiful, and all beauties are not heroines. Enough of that! Mimi ' s status in life was not a noble one; not unless you call clerking noble. But how many of you wouldn ' t be surprised if it did turn out such. Dear me. I ' m going to let the cat out of the bag if I don ' t watch it. To continue, Mimi was Gloves. If you were a clerk you ' d know that Gloves is one promotion from Toilet Goods and five from Hardware. So, clerkly speaking, Mimi was pretty well satisfied with her position. Besides that, Mimi was Gloves at the A. S. •-tore in that great melting pot, New York City. This morning she stood at her counter straightening her beloved gloves with a deft hand. Her position, geographically, was slightly higher than the rest of the floor and from her perch in the realm of gloves she could see straggling shoppers sauntering in and hurrying out. Ever notice that? Shoppers invariably saunter in, aimlessly, and sometimes even apathetically, but always hurry out. There is no mathematical formula to tell us why. I leave it to your imagination. However, Mimi looked the crowd over very nonchalantly and indifferently, They meant noth- ing to her unless their object was gloves. In that case her eyes quickly took in their style, and almost invariably they left Gloves with gloves, fitted by Mimi ' s small but capable hand, and that feeling of that salesgirl realizes my importance in the world! That is how Mimi made one feel. That also was the reason for her promotion to Gloves. That and Jerry. Jerry, for your edification, was floor manager of the great basement of A. S. And Jerry ' s most important position in life, as far as we ' re concerned, was as Mimi ' s man. And. as he remarked. Luckiest guy in the world, that ' s me! So you see, even if Mimi wasn ' t a beauty, she was the object of someone ' s adoration. Mimi sat there behind her counter musing on last night ' s amusement at the mov ies with Jerry. All of a sudden her day dreams were disturbed by a very pleasant voice saying: Pahdon me, miss, but I ' d like some lady ' s — er — woman ' s gloves. Yes, sir, for a young lady? Mimi was all attention. But, as usual, she noticed the man. Good looking, tall, and bronzed, he looked distinctly out of place at that counter. Er — no — they ' re for my mother, he said. You have lovely eyes. Mimi colored up and her mouth, usually small, became a very thin line. It was gloves you wanted, for a middle-aged woman, was it not? One hundred thirty-two 19Z6 RD I NAL 1926 Not if it makes you look like that. You ' re spoiling the character in your face, he answered pleadingly. Mimi was beginning to think she had a lunatic to deal with. ' Never mind my face. If you ' re buying gloves, buy them: and if you ' re not, I ' m busy. For the first time in her selling career Mimi had spoken crossly. And immediately she was sorry. A hurt expression crossed the man ' s face and he re- sumed his perusal of the gloves. But. really, he wasn ' t looking at the gloves; his mind was far away. Are these what you want? asked Mimi with a half-reluctant smile. Immediately his face was transfigured. Please don ' t think me rude. Your face is going to haunt me unless I can get — I mean on canvas. Please, won ' t you come and let me paint you in my studio? Why — why — no — I can ' t do that! Mimi said, startled. Then let me come here. I won ' t bother you. I can even get permission from the owner of the store if you wish. Just let me sit here and put that youth into picture. Your face — you must realize it ' s most unusual. No. F know that I ' m exceedingly homely, and that ' s that. But if you want to put this map on canvas, all right. But you ' ll have to ask the Boss. I can ' t be losin ' me job for you. She smiled as she spoke, which softened the words won- derfully. Of course. he said eagerly. I shall ask tomorrow. And you will feel well paid. I assure you. After that day it was a common sight to see the tall, bronzed man seated at the counter, now sketching swiftly, now sitting dreamily. After a while Mimi ceased to mind. She was too busy. However, the good-looking man didn ' t escape Jerry ' s eye. He immediately asked Mimi who the swell dude was, and what he was doin ' , sittin ' there all day. lookin ' at ya. -Mimi explained but to no avail. Jerry refused to believe that a girl could model for a painter and still be decent and a lady. One day affairs came to a climax. That noon the painter asked Mimi to have lunch with him. Now Mimi usually lunched with Jerry, but this day it happened that he had to work through his lunch hour. So Mimi shyly accepted the stranger ' s invitation. Twelve o ' clock came and just before Mimi left the counter for her hat and coat Jerry came up. Come on. Min. I got off. We ' ll eat at the store counter, this with a sharp look at the young man who (laid no attention to either of them. I ' m sorry. Jerry. I promised Mr. Strong (the name he had given her) that 1 would lunch with him. I thought you couldn ' t go. She spoke hurriedly and softly. Jerry just stared at her for a moment, then turned on his heel and left without One hundred thirty-three 1926 CARD I NAL, 1926 a word. Mimi sighed and looked quickly toward the painter, but he was oblivions to everything but his canvas. Finally she tapped him softly. ' I ' m ready. Oh — yes, that ' s fine. Just hold that expression — there. Now we can go. He laid his canvas face down as usual. Mimi Wondered why he never let her see the picture. They went out into the spring sunshine. On the curb was a smart red roadster. There ' s the bus. Hop in. he said, matter-of-factly. Mimi just stared. Her feet refused to move. Don ' t you like it? It ' s really nicer than it looks. he smiled at her wonder. Mimi sat down, still amazed. She had no idea he had a ear. For the first time the question crept into her mind, who is be? But she dismissed the thought to enjoy the thrill of her first ride in a foreign ear. They Stopped all too soon at a large restaurant. Mimi and Strong got out and entered the place. The waiter showed them to a corner table and they sat down. The painter immediately ordered something in French. The waiter disappeared. In a distant corner of the large room an orchestra played I ' ll Be Loving You — Always. The young man leaned forward. That ' s it. Mimi. Always — I ' ll be loving vou. You ' re SO fine! I want you for my own. When can I have you? Mimi leaned far back in her chair. Tears started. It was all so wonderful. But — no. it was not for her. No one would ever do but Jerry. I ' m so sorry, Mr. Strong. I — can ' t. You see — there ' s someone else who — means that to me. But I ' ll always remember your kindness. The painter grew pale beneath his tan. But he smiled gamely. I can but wish you all the luck in the world. But you ' ll always be in my heart. Do you mind? No. But you ' ll find the woman sometime — the man held up bis hand. Never — Mimi. But let ' s talk of you. And soon they were engrosse d in the topic of Jerry. Jerry ' s job, the bouse (hey were going to build in New Jersey. After they had eaten, be took her back to the store and left her. after gathering his canvases together. It ' s goodbye. Mimi. God bless you. Perhaps some day I ' ll send you your picture. And with that he was gone. Perhaps it was just as well Mimi never knew how much Richard Strong, world famous portrait painter, had loved her. Perhaps it was best that she marry her Jerry as she did. Perhaps — but who knows? Somewhere in the forests of Italy lives 1 lonely man. His painting Beloved had gained for him world renown and the art world was at his feet. Perhaps he was happy in success.

This school like every other in stitution has its Freshmen to whom the new environment appears Vague and discouraging. So it is with heart- felt gratitude that the newcomers accept the friendly, outstretched hand of upperelassmen. September brought the Alpha Phi Theta ' s back from their summer vacation with renewed purpose and glorified hopes for the new work to be undertaken. W e enjoyed with fresh vigor the orientalism of our Japanese party and later the quaint- ness and originality of our Old- Fashioned Barn Dance, with its eider, apples and doughnuts. A movie party also added to the gaiety of our informal Rush. The solemnity and beauty of our Formal Pledge ceremonies turned our thoughts and purposes still more strongly to the high resolutions and vows of our society and brought us to the realization of what it will always mean to every member whether she is still a student at Plattsburgh State Normal School or has gone out into the world as a teacher. During the Christmas season we held a party in our room and exchanged gills and greetings of good cheer. In February we made merry at our annual Valentine ' s party. We attempted to demonstrate our domestic talents by a food sale which we held in March, and which proved to be a great success. At the basketball games our attempts at salesmanship were further developed by the sale of P. S. N. S. pins. W e spent the remainder of our time in preparation for the presentation of a play.

Still later, however, we terrorized the Freshman members with initiation, tin- formal admission to Alpha Phi, when mysteries and secrets arc divulged. These underclassmen did a good deal of worrying but finally after doing their stunts for initiation escaped without injury. Again our school year is drawing to a close and all our planning has resulted in tin- Alpha Phi Theta Society becoming a chapter of a state sorority. On April 30. two delegates. Miss Beatrice Fox and Miss Adele Kaempf, were sent to eon- vocation at Genesco Normal School, where our society officially became a chapter of the Alpha Delta Sorority. Our good times will again be. ended for a time, but we belie c that the sisters of Alpha Delta are closing their year with plans and ideas just a little better than those of preceding years and we believe and hope that the coming term will find the girls of Alpha Delta more completely united than ever before toward success and advancement.

In the library in the big house on the hill a girl had been reading. Now the book slowly slid from her fingers as she gazed into the fireplaee before her. It was as though she could see something far away in the (lames that shot up from the dry logs. Memory had earricd her back to the days when she was in school. What eventful days they had been and how quickly they had gone — the friends she had gained, and above all the sisters she had found in Clio. Her thoughts raced back over the first two years but they lingered upon the last — when friendships seemed to grow stronger and richer. She was back once more in Clio Hall with the girls. That year it was decided to size up the Freshmen for two whole weeks before condescending to invite them into the higher realms to mingle witli their superiors. The next three weeks the Freshmen were rushed here and there, being entertained at movie parties, dinners and informal gatherings, but at the end of this time came Pledge Night, a night which means more than words can ever tell in the heart of every Clionian. Every member was proud of the sixteen new girls taken into the sorority and each new sister proved, before the year was over, that she had a right to be a Clio. Several pleasurable events happened between this time and our Christmas vacation. We entertained Miss Garity at a tea, where our new sisters had the opportunity of meeting one of our most faithful and sincere Clionians. After this each girl put forth an effort to make pretty things for our Christmas Fancy Sale. The Freshmen, thinking the Juniors and Seniors perhaps needed a little recreation, entertained them at a Christmas party. With this party came a most pleasing surprise in the form of a gift — a Baby Grand pianev — presented in the name of the Clionians of ' 28 as a token of their love and esteem for Clio. According to our custom two well-filled baskets were delivered into homes whose occupants were made extremely happy by the gift. After Christinas came our Minstrel Show, in which the girls kept up the record made the preceding year. For some time the Juniors and Seniors had had their younger sisters under observation and it was decided the Freshmen needed something to wake them up. One thing certainly was sure to wake them up or put them to sleep for some time — initiation ! In four days it is safe to say these sixteen girls walked more, ate less, had fewer dates than in the twenty-five weeks they had been in Normal. However, we tried to make up for it at a banquet and dance at the Witherill, where the Freshmen were at last permitted to do the things their dignified superiors were at liberty to do. Onr- hundred forty-eight 1926 O VRD I N 1926 At this lime something came into the minds of the girls to stimulate a new interest. Jt was decided to move into a house the next year, and each girl began to dream dreams of living in a Sorority House. How quickly June seemed to approach that year. Perhaps it was because that month brought with it a certain degree of sadness — sadness at parting from the friends we had learned to love, yet with a great joy in knowing that if it had not been for the three years at Normal much happiness would have been missed from life. As Whittier says: Where ' er I look, where ' er I stray. Thy thought goes with me on my way. And hence the prayer I breathe today : O ' er lapse of time and change of scene The weary waste which lies between Thyself and me. my heart I lean Thou laek ' st not Friendship ' s spellword, nor The half-unconscious power to draw- All hearts to thine by Love ' s sweet law. Slowly the girl raised her head. A perplexed smile played about her mouth. Was it possible that five years had elapsed since all this had taken place? It seemed to her like only a year — new friends — new surroundings had made a change in her life but they could not change the memories of those three happy vears in Clio — memories would stay forever, bright and unchanged.

One hundred girls, with eligible voices, were selected and Edith Huber was chosen as accompanist. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President Lillian MacDougall Vice-President Marie Cronin Librarian Velma Turner Secretary and Treasurer .Doris Rabideau With much enthusiasm the girls decided upon weekly rehearsals and the work began. On the evening of November 23 the Club gave its first concert in Normal Hall. Miss Frances James, a soprano soloist of Montreal, Canada, assisted in making the concert a delightful and assured success. BOYS ' GLEE CLUB A Boys ' Glee Club was also organized in September, with practically every young man enrolled in the school taking part — a membership of approximately forty men. Weekly rehearsals were agreed upon and Louis Drinkwine and Agatha Rooney assisted as accompanists. They elected the following officers: President Lawrence I.efevre Vice-President Louis Drinkwine Librarian Charles Ellis Secretary and Treasurer Norman Davis A good demonstration of the time and effort spent was given February 8, when the Club gave its first concert. Mr. John C. Dandurand of New York City was the tenor soloist of the evening. Besides the vocal program, many of the young men exhibited their skill with various musical instruments. The concert, which was a novelty for the Normal School, was a decided success. One hundred fifty-tix THE ORCHESTRA With an aim to have a large and better orchestra than ever before, all students capable of playing any musical instrument met in September to organize. The officers elected were: President Lawrence I.cfevre Vice-President Catherine Oles Librarian Edith Huber Secretary and Treasurer Edmund Viemeister The members of the organization arc classified as follows : First Violins Catherine Oles Rachel Hinden Francis Morhous Anna Goldman Lawrence Lefevre Charles LaCroix Second Violins Alice Rae Christine Bramen Agatha Rooney Edmund Viemeister George Dewey Viola Cello Marie Cronin George Gallant Saxophones Louis Drinkwine Francis Ryan Robert Farnsworth Drums One hundred fifty-seven Charles Beahan 1926 11926 CARD I NyVL, Mixed Choral Society A combination of both Glee Clubs forming the Mixed Choral Society was organised. A number of students who were not members of the Glee Clubs joined this society, making the organization a very large one. With an aim to present a good Christmas cantata work was begun. The cantata, Child Jesus. was success- ful lv rendered on the evening of December 17. The Grade Choral Society under the direction of Miss Kate Hull assisted the society with antiphonal singing. Miss Lucy Hudson, as the violin soloist, delighted the audience with several numbers. The vocal soloists were: Sopranos Contraltos Lillian MacDougall Dorothy Riley Nellie Cardillo Bass Andrew Brunell Catherine Oles Inez Siddons Tknors Lawrence I.efevre Francis Rvan Baritonk Mr. Lyndon R. Street Members of the Mixed Choral Society gave a musical comedy. Rings in the Sawdust. March 22, in Normal Hall, Mr. Lyndon R. Street, musical director, Mr. Harrison Terwilliger, dramatic director. Mr. Frank Graeey, scenic director, and Miss Anna Marie Forbes, dance, director. The P. S. N. S. orchestra also assisted. The comedy was full of good, wholesome fun, proving such a decided success that the participants agreed to perform again March 24. On June 15 it is planned to have a Musical Revue with the Girls ' and Boys ' Glee Clubs, Mixed Choral Society, Orchestra, Grade Choral Society and Kid Band par- ticipating. With this combination the Revue is destined to be a success as the other events of the musical organizations have been. One hundred fifty-nine Rings in the Sawdust ALFRED L.

Louis Drinkwine and Francis Pop Ryan were elected managers. Mr. Lyndon R. Street consented to coach the team and the first practice was held on the Y. M, C. A. court with forty-five candidates for the team. A league of six teams was organized and everyone was given a chance to play. Regular players of last year ' s team were appointed captains of the teams. The team captained by Maurice Rabbit ' Rabinowitz won the league title. Just before the opening game with Port Henry the squad of twelve nu n was selected. These were Haron, Prevost. Clukey, Ryan. Rabinowitz. Williams. Ellis, DelFavero, Grenier. Brown, LaCroix, Laravie. Rabinowitz was elected captain. The team ended the season by defeating, for the first time in years, the Pitts- burgh High School team and the Glens Falls Academy team.

S. N. S. About thirty girls came to the first practice, which proved a great encouragement. The entering class added considerably to the number of participants. Prof. Alfred L. Dicbolt again kindly consented to coach the team. Edith Huber was elected manager and Lillian Boyle captain of the team. Boys ' rules, girls ' rules and modified boys ' rules were used to prepare the team to meet any Opponents. Steady, conscientious practice followed and shortly before the first game a team was selected. The manager immediately got busy with her correspondence, but due to so many teams joining the Northern New York High School League, and also to the inclemency of the weather, making roads impassable, it was difficult to schedule as many games as was desired. On February 1 f the team traveled in company with the boys ' team to Lake Placid to play the high school teams there. It was the girls ' first game and their playing demonstrated hard work and efficient passwork. The score was 7-13 in favor of the Normal. The return game of Lake Placid High School scored another victory for Plattsburgh Normal with a final score of 23-12. A trip to Potsdam and Canton to play the Potsdam Normal team and St. Lawrence team was planned for the beginning of March. But due to snowstorm after snowstorm it was impossible lo keep any of the engagements. The team looks forward to better luck next year, and a season full of interesting matches on the basketball court. Personnel of Team Edith Huber, Manager Mr. Alfred L.

In September, 1923, your class for the first time entered the halls of P. S. N. S. You immediately set about to set a high standard for which you would strive and adopted for your motto, Upward and On- ward. Just one year later the present Junior Class began their course at Normal. The motto which we adopted and are following is, By Courage and Wisdom We Will Succeed. For the past two years our two classes have been upholding these standards and as a reward they are now reaching their goal with a suc- cessful and a happy past. During that short part of our lives which the classes of ' 26 and ' 27 have spent together many things have been ac- complished. True, we have clashed at times but these instances have been few. In our memory we can see only those happy hours during which our friendships have increased and we have accomplished worth- while tasks. You have finished your brief stay at Normal and are now leaving. Today we are together — tomorrow we take our separate ways. Out- class is to move up one step in our lives and fill your vacancies at Normal. We can do this only to a certain extent. Your empty places will be filled, but deep down in our hearts there is a place set aside for you which will never be filled by anyone. We, the class of ' 27, wish to take this opportunity to bid you fare- well. In our memory you will stand forth as the class which, not only while at Normal, but for life, adopted the standard, Upward and On- ward. So you have a mission to fill. In our minds we will have a picture of the class of ' 26 forging ahead and striving to attain stand- ards never reached by any preceding class at Normal. While you are shaping the destinies of the children of this great nation, keep the ideals learned and taught at your Alma Mater ever in play and your success is assured.
