Hawkins, principal of the Plattsburgll State Normal School since 1898, was born at Farmersville, December 16, 1862. He attended the Ten Broeeh Free Academy. Franklinville, and was graduated from that in- stitution in 1881. He then entered the State Normal School of Fredonia and upon graduation he became principal of Sherbourne Academy. He remained there for six years. His next move took him to Union College, from which he was graduated in 1894 with his M.A. degree. Dr. Hawkins first made his appearance at Plattsburgll as Professor of Mathematics. He held this position for eight years. In 190.5 the honorary degree of D.Sc. was conferred upon Dr. Hawkins by St. Lawrence University. Dr. Hawkins is not only known in Plattsburgll and vicinity, but nationally. This fact is indicated by the appearance of his name in Who ' s Who. 161 atotftoer to Bebtcatton Class of 1930: I extend to you my greetings and acknowledgments. I appre- ciate the honor and courtesy of this dedication. Let there b e added also my con- gratulations and my hopeful prophecies of future distinction, for you have shown me in yourselves something of the spirit that is destined to conquer. The class of 1930 has afforded an interesting opportunity to study your per- sonal reaction to entirely unexpected and normally distressing obstacles; and the courage and cheerfulness with which you have met and overcome them, the disci- plined manner in which you have cooperated, without desertion or complaint, to wrest victory from the jaws of defeat, have commanded my highest admiration. And I am convinced that such an experience will furnish you. in turn, with a fund of strength and resourcefulness of especial value in the uncertain years to come. In this highly formal and stabilized world of ours, the ordinary affairs of life, and particularly of young life, usually fall out very much as they are expected to do and in the same general fashion and sequence. The stage is set for us, the scenery changes little, the plot assumes familiar patterns, the prompter performs the customary functions, the players act their parts through comedy, tragedy, melo- drama or burlesque with varying degrees of mediocrity, skill or brilliancy, and then yield their places to another group who re-enact a continual repetition of similarity. I am speaking of the Usual merely. Now if such a stereotyped and paralysing condition of things were to be uni- versally and forever fixed in the history of soul and mind and endeavor, then the world would be a sorry place and the centuries would mean but little. But a fair and increasing leaven of humanity has always been alert and responsive to the challenge of the Unusual. Therein lies the hope of progress and the advancement of the world. Therein do you belong by training and profession. Therein have you enlisted for a lifetime of service to the world that needs you. I 7J Co tfje Clatf of 1930 All things have been changing from the beginning. Nothing is as it was, not even yesterday. Everything to be will be different from what is today. There is nothing fixed. Environment changes, and man changes with his environment. To understand this phenomena is necessary in order to guide this world to that which is better. To do this- is progress. This guidance is our responsibility. One of the intellectual leaders before the time of Christ let it be known: The gods have not shown men all things from the beginning, but, seeking, in time they will find out what is better. This is as true today as it was then. We have been seeking together during this short space of time, and you now must go on seeking with others in new places what is better. This curious searching to find out what is better stretches on into infinity; anything else is finite. There- fore it is pa ramount that we continue to study, to experiment, to understand, to Jive abreast of these ever-changing conditions. To stop is to revert to the level of the high school student, from the high school student to the level of the grammar student. Individual striving to understand is at the basis of individual progress and individual success. The sum total of these experiences make for the salvation of the world. Success, let us say, is something that we are or become, not something that we take or get. It is far better to be than to seem, even if the pretender dies loaded with honor, and the truly great man, after suffering every kind of ill usage, is crucified. To be successful is to make a right use of our lives; to ask what we get from them is irrelevant. Success comes from within, a quality in all of us. The youth of today, of tomorrow, are as desirous of success as we are. Successful men and women are made, not born. The guidance of them in the making — in their blossoming days — is our trust, your trust. We live on in the lives of the successful men and women of tomorrow ; in them are our most enduring reward and happiness. To seek after that which is better is difficult; to guide others to that same end is more hazardous. Let us not be discouraged in our faith. Let us live to say we have taken our best pains riot to laugh at the actions of mankind, not to groan over them, not to be angry with them, but to understand them. This is the challenge I leave with you.

How Rita ever managed to exist without her Taylor is more than we can see, but evidently she did. Has he a substitute, Kita? Rita is one who always has an opinion and does not object to ex- pressing it. If you agree, all right; if you don ' t, just try to argue with her.

We wish to introduce to the world at large a man with a perfect profile and a really permanent wave which far surpasses those which shriek Guar- anteed for six months. ' Xo wonder the girls envy Everest ' s hair. Although Everest has had several years of experience in the teaching profession, this did not deter him from joining our undergraduate ranks with a true undergraduate spirit. Pearl M. Arthur General Krixevillr Willi Warmth and color are two things to he associated With Pearl. She is such a vivid person herself that if personality could he likened unto mere articles of clothing we would compare her with her miming red dress trimmed with those tiny little plaits.

She certainly knows her bookkeeping if that lesson she taught on observation is evidence. Just try to tell her a Dodge car isn ' t good. Commercial Raymond G.

She seems to have a weakness for blonde men as well as frat pins or ruby rings. She has her faults; among them, that, temper of the Titian. However, in spite of that, she is the best of friends and pals and another of the important members of the Triumvirate. I W 1 111111111. Winifred C .

No doubt it ' s because she looked so funny when she was a Freshman. She certainly can take her spite out 00 those that follow.

None, says many a man. She realizes the worthlessness of worry and fretting, and that ' s just one reason why she is so popular. Yet she believes that whatever she does should be done well; furthermore she practices this maxim. She surely is a hip boost for Keeseville.

Evidently nothing upsets her culm and independence, and that is as it should be, for Connie without her imperturbability and sturdy altitude of self-reliance would not be the wholesome girl we have known for these past three years.

As one walked through the corridors of the old school building, many classes were called to his mind by the various artistic contributions. Now all we have is a memory of these gifts. Since we are holding our classes here at City Hall we do not have the facilities to care for, nor display any such gift. With this thought in mind we, the Class of 1 !)■ ' !(). are presenting to the Pitts- burgh State Normal School, in the trust of Doctor Hawkins, a purse of gold, to be expended as he sees fit when the new school building is finally erected.

Rusteriioltz, Class Advisor I 77] Junior Class ?|tstorp On a misty Tuesday morning in September, 1928, more than 149 individuals shuffled into the assembly room of P. S. N. S. and took their places. First a solemn warning (primarily for the benefit of the ladies) was delivered by Dr. Hawkins: then a general scattering to rooming houses. With Larry Thornton as president and Professor Rusterholtz as faculty advisor we made a great start on our three-year journey. The first league of the journey has been accomplished with pleasure and sorrow mixed. The burning of our old building placed the black bar of sorrow across our path. Despite the loss of the school, class funds, and the consequent disorganization, a quick recovery was effected. The uppcrclassmen enjoyed themselves at the mid- year hall which we gave at the Witherill Hotel. On September 11, 1929. we gathered at the City Hall, where school has been conducted since the fire. Some of our members have fallen out, but others have filled their places. Election of officers was held once more. This time Francis Coste was elected president and Mr. Rustcrholtz was again unanimously elected to act as our faculty advisor. Supporting Mr. Coste was an Executive Board. This very successful plan was initiated at P. S. N. S. by the class of ' 31. When President Coste left school, Marian Lull, then vice-president, became president by a unanimous vote of the class. Our first two years have slipped by pleasantly and rapidly. We who remain look back with pride on a good record, regard with satisfaction a current year of excellent work and look forward with pleasure and confidence to continuing the good work. Above all we hope to keep clean a satisfactory record. Eric Haxsen, ' 31. I 7!l | ule for petng popular tottf) tJje tEeacfier Never arrive on time. Always be a week or two late. This has many advan- tages: 1, It takes the teacher ' s time in enrolling and seating you. 2. There may not lie any books left, therefore you Cant do your homework. You are a nuisance in class — always looking on with someone else or borrowing the hook. You save yourself labor by not having to carry books back and forth. Never bring pencils, pens, paper or textbooks to class. It saves you money, time and labor for — 1. It lakes time borrowing these things before the teacher can start a written lesson. 2. It saves you the trouble of carrying these things to and from school. Never be on time in a elassroom. Always be a few minutes late. This has many advantages : 1. It takes class time. 2. The teacher will always remember you, and perhaps even make an example of you to the rest of the class. In fact, you may even be asked to go to the principal ' s office and sit in a luxurious lounging chair while he discusses your attitude and conduct. Think of the envy of your classmates at having persona] note of you made by the principal! You will be lifted far above the rank of your co-partners in the miseries of this educational process. You will be an outstanding figure in your room, and in the rest of the school. Never bring your absence card on time, for — 1, You must keep the teacher in suspense as she does you at exam time. 2. If it is a nice, sunshiny day it Is much pleasantcr to be walking home for your card than to be in school. There is only one exception to this rule, and that is to always remember your card on rainy or cold days. It would be too uncomfortable for you to walk home under these conditions. Always talk back to the teacher. Ask any number of questions, because — 1. That is what she ' s there for — to answer questions. 2. You ' ll help take up class time (teachers will appreciate this). 3. You will help bring out the point to your classmates. I 80 I A . I the CiMimNACi Chewing gum, eating candy, crackling papers, etc., are strongly recommended, for— . 1, You will always receive individual recognition from Hie teacher. ■ . This serves to detract the attention of those around you from what the teacher is saying. VII. Try as far as possible to have your name on every desk, piece of statuary and wall in the building. This is of great benefit because — 1. It makes the place look more collegiate. 2. In later years you can always prove to your friends that you really attended the school. 3. Other students of a later time will come to know your name when they see it constantly on the desks. Dreaming and wondering about who and what you were will help take their minds from the dullness of class routine. VIII. Give the teacher some personal attention. Any teacher appreciates this. - 1. Try calling her up about 3.00 a.m. When she finally answers in a very sleepy voice Hello, vou sav Hello, Miss ? Yes. Well, will you kindly explain what you are doing up at this time of night? IX. Always have something on hand to amuse yourself and the class. 1, Spit balls are too ordinary, and too easily detected by the teacher. - ' . Mexican jumping beans are excellent. 3. Itching and sneezing powders may be well recommended here. They are inexpensive and come in convenient packages. These are only a few of the rules that may be given to make you popular with the teacher. Anyone requiring full information may have same by sending one dollar, in stamps or currency, for our free booklet. Address all correspondence to Miss Lena Way Back, studios in all the leading cities. Utensils, such as sneezing and itching powders, are furnished free with every subscription of one dollar or more.

Otis Noves, Faculty Advisor [K3] Jf resfjman Class Jngtorp The last of the great clans is known as the Freshmen, a body small, but select, whose career though just beginning, promises to be a most illustrious one. As chieftain we selected Edward Lavigne, to be assisted by Doris King. Sybil Brown was chosen to record our activities and Ann Humphrey to guard the plunder. Frances Hunter is to represent us on the Cardinal staff. Mr. Noyes, from that august clan, the faculty, has consented to act as our advisor in order to keep us in the straight and narrow path. In honor of the arrival of such a promising group of members the uppcrclans- miii gave a dance early in the year. The whole tribe of Normal attended and our initial experience among our superiors assured us that we had shown excellent judg- ment in coming here to school. Then, in appreciation of their kindness, we gave a return dance. It gave us a feeling of great satisfaction and importance that we could enter into the tribal activities in this way. Our next attempt at social functions was a card party which we gave in November and which incidentally increased the content of our treasure chest. Following the Christmas vacation came a few weeks of intensive study, that is. us intensive as Freshmen ever do. The mid-year examinations closed with few casualties and we started on our new courses with high hopes and the best of resolu- tions. Although these resolutions had to be periodically renewed, we managed to make them last until June. The mid-year dances- were a welcome interruption after our weeks of cram- ming and burning the midnight oil, coming as they did immediately after examina- tions. The dance which we gave February 14 was the biggest event in our whole year. Our black and silver banner which arrived about this time occupied a promi- nent place in the hall. No event of note took place after the dance and the days and weeks slipped by on wings, until the Easter vacation. After this recess the usual cramming for examinations began again and our Freshman year drew to a close if not in an actual blaze of glory, still giving ample testimony to the fact that the Freshmen stand for quality if not quantity Sybil Brown, Secretary. I H7 | ftttb=pear Same The .-1111111(11 mid-year dance sponsored by the Freshman class was held on February 14. The event proved to he a most enjoyable one. The dance was held in the Masonic Temple, w here about I ■) • couples danced to the music furnished by the Holhrook I laruionians. The hall was very prettily decorated with our Freshman class colors.

Nolan. I ! t 1 Senior Claste Jlttftorp In September. 1 S)ti . ;i class entered this Normal School in quest of that some- thing called Knowledge. At first we were divided, hut soon a leader rose from among our ranks and took his place as our leader. His name was Sir Martin Rooncy and he had for his round table Gladys Douglass. Mary Wheeler. Don Roberts and Mr. Street. Our banner was green and silver and cnibla .oned on it was our motto. We launch, where shall we anchor? Our first introduction to Normal life was at the party given us by the Seniors and Juniors. The next, at the party we gave them. In January wc gave our first court ball — the Mid-Year — in the tournament field of the old Normal School. After February the days seemed to fly. We were soon bidding farewell to the Seniors, who had carefully guided us all thai first year. During our Freshman year many of our members entered the lists and jousted well, winning many honors, among them membership in the various courts. Thus ended our first year. In September we returned and joyfully greeted our classmates. Nearly all w i re continuing their quest, only a few having given up. At our first Junior gathering we chose our new leader and his round table: Sir Don Roberts, leader, and Gcraldine C ' ordiek. Helen I.ipphart. Richard Grefe and Mr. Diebolt. Sir Don later resigned and Herbert Drumm took over his duties. The first function was the tournament which wc. with the Seniors, gave to the Freshmen, who. in turn, gave a Hallowe ' en party. Soon came Rush with all the parties and after that, ten-wctk tests. Most of us came through these safely, although some were stranded and had to be rescued. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas we had scarcely time to breathe, while between Christmas recess and mid-year exams we were buried in preparation. Wc had taken only a few tests before January 26. 1929, when disaster befell us — our beloved Alma Mater fell, taken by storm by the enemy. Saddened as we were at our great loss, we quickly recovered and resumed our work in the City Hall. In June wc gave tin- annual Junior Prom to the Seniors. Through the efforts of the various committees this affair was a great success. Then came graduation. I 9-5 I .•Hid again we hade farewell to the Seniors who were going out to establish their own courts. Thus ended our second year. In September we returned to the City Hall. Roll call established the fact that only a few had given up the search. We were now near the end of our quest, being named Seniors. Soon after our return we again gathered to select a leader and his round table. This time we chose Sir Maurice Finnegan as leader, with Donald Downs, Helen Sleight, Geraldine Cordick and Mr. Diebolt to aid him. We also named Astrid Edwardson as editor-in-chief of our year book, the CARDINAL, and Alfred Millet as business manager. Early in October we gave a party to the new Freshmen and they, in turn, gave us a Hallowe ' en party. This last year we worked hard to finish our search successfully, but as always, knowledge eluded us. All too soon, ten-week tests arrived with their complement of sorrow and rejoicing. Many of us were vanquished by that powerful knight, Accounting, and we nearly gave up hope. Not quite, however, for by the time mid-years had come we were able to vanquish him. Now. much too soon, gradua- tion is here and the time has come when we must say Farewell. Alma Mater and ' Farewell, Classmates. We must separate to go each his own way. We leave behind us the assurance that we have enjoyed our three years in this court. How- ever, as Tennyson has said, The old order changcth. yielding place to new. Therefore, we, the class of 1930, bid you farewell and good luck. May we meet again. I 9 i 1 entor Class Mill she can It-urn tin- customs and habits of the We, the Class of 1930, in this, our last will and testament, do leave and bequeath to our friendly enemies, the .Juniors, the following: To Katharine Allen, a corridor. Perhaps she ' ll like that as well as she does the hall, lo t ormne Bahrmger, someone to like better than herself. To Prances Bratt, the right to change her last name, so everyone won ' t call her the brat. To Helen Bromley, a nice big Cardinal all for herself so she won ' t have to hide her light under a hushel. To John Gadway, an instrument that will drown out the whole orchestra instead of only part of it. To Erie Hansen, Millet s executive ability so he can make the 1931 CASDIXAl (?) a success. To Madeline l ' ickenpack, a derby so she won ' t be so high hat. To Brad Sterling, Red ' s accounting ability. To Gladys Ormsbee, a trip to Holland so ' si Dutch. To those Juniors, whom we have not mentioned here, we sav: We know that you are incorrigible and that nothing we may do can change you, so we won ' t waste space iii trying to improve that which no improvement Can bring up to our high standards. To our friends, the Faculty, we leave: To Mr. Brown, a soundproof room where he can lecture as loudlv as he pleases without disturbing those who might wish to study. To Miss Carroll, a collection of butterflies to take the place of the one she lost in the fire. Then, too, we must not forget our old, gray-haired, be whiskered goldfish. To Mr. Clark, a little sign with Now. in my ' home town printed on it so he won ' t use so much energy saying it. To Mr. Diebolt, our sincere thanks for his help the last two years in making our class the best class. To Miss Goodridge, a special room at the Physicians ' Hospital To Mr. Hartman, plenty of toothpicks. To Miss Ketchum, the right to be the administration for one week so she can clean house. To Mr. N ' oyes, some more essays as good as ours were, as well as some more students who aren ' t afraid to give them. To Miss Anne O ' Brien, a student body who appreciate the fact that reference books are for the use of the students. To Miss Alice O ' Brien, some place besides the auditorium in which to train students for the rostrum. To Mr. Kusterholtz, a class that is really worthy of his trust. To Mr. Street, a grand opera that will be a decided success. To Mr. Smith, some brand new faces and some brand new jokes. To Mr. Tcrwilliger, a class who will admire him and look to him for advice as we do. To Mr. Thompson, office appliances to replace those destroyed in the fire. To Mr. Todd, a subject that is really so simple that the class can think so too. To Mr. Wilkes, a kiddy car to use when he ' s tired from rambling. Finally, to Dr. Hawkins, our sincere gratitude, our highest respect and deepest affection. In witness whereof, we do affix our name and seal this sixteenth day of June, the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty. Signed: Tin: Class ok 1930.

I 98 | Class Oration The halt lias been called; we rest in a shady spot; the little brook of fond memories ripples to us about the things that we love. How glorious to listen to those ripples of the past— to think of those things that make us happy ! Happy because they tell us of a good deed, a loyal friend, or an understanding heart. Oh. we can ' t fool ourselves for long. We know that those little swells tell us how much we hate to break up. Hate to brc.ik up because today we make up a unit, but tomorrow we start all over again as individuals. Start all over again to do what? Well I suppose to make new friends, perform new tasks, stumble, fall, and arise. Perhaps to rest once again in some other shad; spot, that is today beyond the horizon of our vision, where we may once more live for that which is with us. However, it seems our custom to make the marches too long, the halts too few. We live too often for tomorrow, too seldom for today. And why? Is it ambition that presses us on? Is it dissatisfaction that severs us from the present? Is it human nature that tempts us to take a little peep, another little peep, and still another little peep into the future? Why should the future be everything, the present only for tin- enjoyment of the drifter, and the past solely for those who .ire slipping? I don ' t know why. but I do know that if we are always going to live for the future, then we may as well dedicate our lives to the question mark. Dedicate our lives to the question mark? Once we have done so, we have pledged ourselves In a nothingness that leads to despair. Living for tomorrow may mean success; living for tomorrow may mean ulory; living for tomorrow may mean salvation — but. my friends, if we can ' t live once in a while for today we might just as well not live at all. To live forever and eternally for that unknown day may mean to exist always for that day which for us will never come. Let us live. then, as we go along; let every crumb of happiness be with us as long as it will ; let not the hollowness of a tomorrow deprive us of the value of a today. Why not be happy today, this our class day, this the day that has been set aside for us? Happy because it marks not an end, nor because it signifies a start, but because it represents a present. My friends, why not make tin- present mean everything? Why not let it swallow up the glories of the past, the hopes of a future, the pleasures at hand? Why not let it stand for safety, peace and con- tentment ? That ' s what you have done today — and have you ever been more happy? Live as you go along, for only by so living can you be yourself and only by being your- self can you be anything for the world. Mahtin Hoiinkv. I 99 1 Cfjarge to tfje Junto Juniors ! We, the most noble of the Senior classes ever to leave this institution, do charge you to carry on to the best of your limited ability the lofty ideals and standards which We not only have maintained, but have so successfully advanced. But. Juniors, we cannot conscientiously delegate this momentous task to von without tirst leaving with you a few suggestions and admonitions which, at best, can help you in your dilemma only a little. This is why we quake at the thought of having the reputation of our dear Alma Mater in such incompetent hands. However, with the few words of advice which we leave, we trust that the best results under the circumstances will be obtained. Children, first wake up to the fact of your own stupendous ignorance. You are here to learn, not to brag of the infinitesimal amount of knowledge you possess. Second, take advice when given you. We who are older and more experienced in worldly ways know best what is good for the younger generation. Thus we plead with you to accept these words of wisdom. Now that we ar e leaving vou should reverence the counsel of the faculty as we. your superiors, have done. Another thing, we have overheard you say that we are high hat and con- ceited. We forgive you for this because we realize that in your ignorance you can ' t understand that what you have to offer intellectually and socially becomes boring to those of higher mental capacities, such as we. of the Senior class. That is why we must at times appear to slight you while we are in search of mental food of a stimulating and nutritious nature. Of course, you cannot supply us with this. I f you would follow our example — seek the knowledge of those superior to you — you would gain much to your advantage. Juniors, we beg of you, beseech you. to ponder on what we have told you, change your ways, following the praiseworthy example of the class of 1930, so that posterity will not be able to condemn you too severely in your work of car- rying on. Samuel Dexnison. r too j gnstoer to tije Mentor Cfjarge Jt is always well to have the opportunity to profit by others ' mistakes. To us, the Junior class, this opportunity has been presented. Knowing that time-worn adage, opportunity knocks but once, we have been quick to grasp tin ' s Opportunity. Seniors, you have always pursued a high and mighty course. Conceited? No, ' lis too harsh a word, though many times you have looked down and scorned the so-called insignificant Juniors. True, one must uphold one ' s dignity and honor, but why always walk with one ' s head in the clouds? Pride eometh before a fall and the fall of the mighty is usually a long one. You are about to enter into a new life. Your schooldays will be but shadows of the distant past. New habits, associations and relations must be formed. Now, most honored Seniors, is an appropriate time to mend your ways. You never can get along in this new life if you persist in looking down upon others in that scornful and disdainful manner so well known as a characteristic of the Senior elass. Others, in this new life, may likewise possess these same mannerisms. When like bodies meet, what happens? They repel ; disagreements and oppositions result. Truly, not a pleasant situation, is it. Seniors? Ever mindful that to err is human; to forgive divine. we, the Junior elass. true to our colors, willingly forgive. Let the past events be buried deep in the innermost recesses of forgetfulness. Why let such a remembrance remain to disturb our feelings of peace and good will? We admire you. Seniors, for trying. ' Tis better to try than to shirk one ' s duty. We could wish you nothing better than success in whatever ventures you may undertake. May happiness and contentment be yours and may you sail the sens, at high tide, to the Land of Glorious Success! Pauline Tromblit, 31. I 101 1 Jflantle ©ration Jt had been the custom previous to 1929 for every Senior class to plant ivy on the walls of our dear Alma Mater, but in as much as the building is no more ' the class of 1929 Originated the Mantle Oration. We members of the Senior class arc soon to take the greatest step in ail our lives which is leaving our Alma Mater and entering professional life. Tin ' s Mantle, the badge of distinction in all institutions of higher learning, although very plain in appearance, designates leadership. But there is a greater meaning than this. hvery Senior class has certain responsibilities, duties and obligations that it owes to the school. It is our pleasure as Seniors to pass this Mantle which we received from the class of 1929 from our shoulders to yours, and with it we also give to vou the duties, obligations and responsibilities that you now .assume as Seniors in this our Alma Mater. May 1 quote from Mardcn ' s Making Life a Masterpiece ? The constant effort to better your best, to reach a high ideal, calls out the finest and noblest quali- ties in one ' s character. Your resolute will, your firm determination to succeed in whatever you undertake, will carry you up stream, no matter how strong the current, or what obstacles may oppose you. As Seniors, follow these suggestions of Marden anil you will be qualified to wear this Mantle of distinction with all the honor and dignity which it signifies. School days end and memories of them often grow dim with passing years. As for school friends they remain with us forever, to encourage us to better our best. Seniors, the class of 1930 bids you farewell. Asthii) E. Edwardson. I 103 I $restbent ' g glfabre Schoolmates, members of the faculty, and friends: A beautiful day has dawned upon us — a day mingled with joy and sorrow; joy is ours today beeause we hive at last completed our work of teacher training and are DOW ready to put away our books as undergraduates and shoulder the responsibility that will be ours as teachers tomorrow. Our duties will differ vastly from those we have known. They will be duties of responsibility which we will have to handle alone. During our stay in Normal a guiding hand directed our every effort, thus making our burden light The difficulties may have been numerous but always there w is someone to smooth Hie way. Tomorrow the stage of activity will he changed and ours will be the great task of directing the youth and of enlightening others as we have been enlightened here. Still our joy turns to sorrow at the thought of this separation. Friends who have been so staunch, so true, must now bid adieu at the parting of the ways. V are leaving our Alma Mater, our beloved faculty, our friends; we arc severing ties that have endeared us so to an institution that will mean much in our lives. Doctor Hawkins and members of the faculty, you have shown those qualities ot knighthood which, if we could adopt them, would spell success for us. Words arc inadequate to express our feelings of gratitude towards you. You have been, indeed, our truest friends and long will your words of advice and your kind deeds live in our memory. Classmates, we rejoice in the completion of our school days and in the good fellowship that has prevailed throughout our three years of associations. We fully realize as we bid farewell to one another that we may never meet again. Our chain of association which was linked together by joy and sorrow tempered by success and failure, is about to be broken. As each of us takes a link and goes his way. let us not forget that our work is not to ourselves alone but to the honor and historv of our class and of our school. Maurice Finneoan.

Soon after the opening of the Oneonta Normal some of the young ladies attending that Normal wished to form a literary society. Dr. Milne and Miss Weingard suggested that they write to Geneseo asking the privilege of becoming Beta Chapter of the Clionian Society. They (lid so and their request was granted. W ith that we have the first step toward the forming of a Normal School Sorority of Clionians. The work in this sorority has been such as would furnish healthful and pleasing entertainment and a culture not provided for in the regular work of our school. The Delta Chapter has during the present year been very successful in all of its undertakings. This year ' s pledge sisters are all fine girls and we are sure they will earrv on the work as true Clionians should. Last fall, soon after rush, we held a bridge party at Normal Court for the Clionian alumni living in and around Pittsburgh. They in turn entertained us at the home of Mrs. Hapgood. We hope that a new feeling of affection will be created between the alumni and the present members. We are looking forward to many happy times together. Now the day of parting is coming all too soon. Those of us who are graduating will leave with heavy hearts and a secret wish that we would not have to leave those with whom we have been so happy — those whom we have learned to love dearlv. Please, dear Clio Sisters, keep a place in your hearts for all of us who arc leaving this year. Elmabkth ( ' •. Miller, ' 30. I ii.-.

Onee again we ' re living in Our House on the Highway, looking out on the Driveway. where we planned and hoped and worked for Alpha Delta. Toward the end of September we welcomed the entire school to our annual open house. when we shared our haven with our guests. After ten-week examinations, rush season was ushered in with all its hopeful anticipation. It proved to be a busy time for all. We first entertained the Fresh- men at an aeroplane party which was indeed a high-Hying success. The following week we held a formal banquet at the Cumberland Hotel. A clever entertainment was provided by the Alpha Deltas, and we found the Freshmen, one and all, as delightful as could be. It was with a feeling both of awe and happiness that we welcomed fourteen Freshmen on decision night to our Four-Leaf Clover Party ; and this night indeed marked the beginning of new friendships and new hopes for Alpha Delta. On pledge night we again held a formal banquet at the Cumberland Hotel, and this night we were truly happy. We presented silver keys to our Freshmen, and as we placed them around their necks the magic spell of Alpha Delta held us in its grip. As each Freshman repeated our pledge, she was imbued with the spirit of Alpha Delta which so firmly binds us all together. In the first assembly held after Thanksgiving vacation the students were very much surprised to behold a new orchestra consisting of Alpha Deltas clad in their colors of lavendar and white march down the center aisle and up on the platform. What did it all mean? Somebody else ' Il be getting it. getting it. right where llirv handed it to us. Yes , of course, it meant initiation. Soon a gay circus announcer entered, who proclaimed the fact that a circus was being staged. As he called each reluctant pledgee to the rostrum he made her repent n clever little verse which ex- plained why she had joined the circus. Lavendar and white clown costumes adorned the pledgees as they followed their president to an adjoining room to receive further instructions. The rest of the week was made merry by the initiates, and when, on Saturday evening, they received full membership in the sorority, the joy of the Alpha Deltas was complete. They then and there launched on a career of friend- ship which they hope will last forever, if not in actuality, at least in memory. We held our annual Christmas sale in December, as well as several food and candy sales throughout the year. April 12 was the night of our Faster dance, which was n success both financially and socially. Our year will soon be over, when twenty-one of us must leave. How we dread it, for to each of us our three years spent together in Plattsburgh State Normal School, especially in Alpha Delta, have truly been the happiest years of our life. Although We must bid farewell, we ' ll always keep memories of our sorority, our beloved Alpha Delta, among our most treasured possessions. Adblinr Urban, ' 30.

This was followed by our Open House whi n we wcleomed the entire school to our house for a pood time, this being the feature of the attraction of September 18. In discussing our social activities we must not forget the effort each girl is putting into the plan for making our financial year even more successful than usual. During the first semester we conducted food sales, a rummage sale, a fancy sale and sold cards at Christmas lime. We were encouraged to try just a little harder when we saw the results of our efforts. Rush began on October 13 and for two weeks the things uppermost in our minds were parties, banquets and finally pledge. It was one good time after another, with a happy, yet serious, ending whin we pledged eleven new girls to our chapter. The Freshmen were somewhat relieved when formal initiation was over the night of November 12. Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations were started right by attending a party at Ago house. The Christmas party was made just a little happier by the usual display of small remembrances for the orphans. Cheery good-byes wi re echoed by friendly hellos when we reached our homes a few hours later. Our latest financial plan has been to have a tea danee each Wednesday from I to 8 p.m. We take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped to make our dances a success. Our annual Ago dance was held on St. Patrick ' s night. The decorations and programs were of appropriate colors for the day. Many of our schoolmates and friends enjoyed the evening with us. On Monday evening. March 3. the rushees pave their sister Agonians a formal banquet at the Cumberland Hotel, which was followed by a dance at the Ago house. The big surprise of the evening came when they presented the sorority with owl andirons for the fireplace. Our Freshmen are to be congratulated on their hospitality. Now at graduation time we realize that our lives have just begun. We have many fond memories of Ago to take with us and even though we are parting, some of us perhaps never to meet again, we will always be bound together in Alpha Kappa Phi. MiltlKi. Thompson, ' .

Since then the parent body of this fraternity, the Alpha Chapter, has authorized subordinate chapters at Cortland. Oswego.

Welch, grand vice-president: Joseph A. Sehad. grand secre- tary: Byaly J. Bashford. grand treasurer; and Byron YV. Shottin. grand historian. The Kappan is the official publication of the fraternity. It is published semi- annually. Joseph A. Schad is the editor-in-chief. Each chapter is represented through an assistant editor to the magazine. From the beginning, and especially during the past year, the members of Delta Chapter have strived to sponsor school spirit and to aid in every activity that had for its end the betterment of the school. The story of common interest, of sharing of counsel, even of the Samaritan road is not for the public print, but is written on the tablet of warm hearts united for a common purpose. There is positive evidence of the commendable results which have followed the establishment of Tri Kappa. May the friendships born from this organization endure like the eternal stars.

Thy spirit, Delta. In every heart heats high; Live nil Delia Tall Chi. Thy name ne ' er shall die. This is the song that touches the heart of every true Delta Tau Cni Boy. It not only touches the heart, hut becomes part of his soul, challenging him to those higher ideals which constitute a life of service. Delta Tau Chi is an organization composed of student teachers, who in some future day will go out into the world spreading their influence to hundreds and thousands of younger lives. The influence that we have will depend upon our own personality and character. Delta Tau Chi. with its standards of higher and richer ideals, strives to plant in the hearts of its members those principles that will result in a pure life. As an inspiration to our purpose, we have the guidance of nine honorary members, all of whom have succeeded, either in the educational or political world, because of their high standards and clean living. It is the daily association with men of this type that causes us to feel the challenge that is before us. This organization was founded in 1927 by Prof. Samuel Todd. From that v ry dav on. Delta Tau Chi began making history by challenging men to its prin- ciples. In 1929 it reached one of the high spots in its history when eighteen new members accepted the challenge thrown out to them. Before the year eame to an end these new members, having established perfect cooperation with their older brothers, startled Plattsburgh with one of the greatest minstrel shows ever produced in this vicinity. I ISO I i v we come to tin- history made during the past year. Handicapped by the burning of the Normal and the removal of tin- commercial course, it became impos- sible to enlist a large number of men. Only three new candidates were available, but Delta Tail Chi. ever believing that quality not quantity is important) received them with tin- true fraternal spirit for which our organization has always been noted. The Normal school year of I!)29-:i0 is now history. As we look back we realize how the pleasures and values outweigh the sorrows and mistakes. Nothing remains to be done, but to throw out the appeal to those who will carry on next year, the vear after, and always an appeal to the steadfastness and the honor of Delta T.m Chi.

Monday afternoon and evening, May 20. 1929, Delta Tau Chi Fraternity gave the students and faculty of the Normal School and residents of the city of Plattsbnrgh a rare treat in presenting their second annual minstrel show at the Strand Theater. The minstrel show was greeted with a large turn-out. between fifteen hundred and two thousand witnessing the performances. And were the satisfied? Yes. indeed! The minstrel show was under the direction of Prof. Lyndon R. Street and Miss Hardy. Miss Grace Belden accompanied the boys at rehearsals. The performance opened with three selections by the Plattsburgh City Men ' s Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Street. This was very well rendered and Was appreciated by the audience. The program continued with The Whoopee Chorus of 1929 ' which was a knock-out. The graceful 1). T. X. he-maidens made the sorority and town girls jealous by an exhibition of form, gracefulness and a display of new dance steps unknown in these parts up to that time. The bell of the ball was Jeremiah Katrinka McAloon. a dancer among dancers, one who would have made any of Solomon ' s harem green with envy. Next Mr. Fuller Allen, cornetist. delighted the audience by rendering Vandercook ' s The Wild Hose. Somehow or other the two dignified professors, Clark and Brown, ran;; into the picture. Students who attend Mr. Clark ' s gatherings little realized that he wore anv of I.il Goodridge ' s health hose. And who ever knew Brown or Clark could sing The Darkey ' s Sunday School Song. but life is made up of surprises. If Brown and Clark marked like they sing they would be all right. Oh yes. and we must not forget the unforgivable Charlie and his brushes. We wonder if he gives tin- elementary students a break like that every day. Mr. Carl Graves, baritone, and Tobias Paulscful Turner (of the moaning sax ) then rendered selections which delighted the audience. The circle was next on the program. Hits of Other Days. rendered by the Circle and ably assisted in solo selections by Frank Provost. Donald Downs and end men Clark and Denieore. went oil ' in first class manner. Then, lo and behold, what dropped from the roof of the Strand Theater but the premier end men of Mrs. Murphy ' s chowder party, Black Head Farnsworth and Brown Gravy Rooney. These two cullud irents kept the atmosphere sparkling with their wise cracks ' . Oh yes. and we mustn ' t forget their dancing. Everyone will agree with us when we say they are wasting their time around Plattsburgh when they ought to be on Broadway — eh. what? Our robust and cheery professor. Mr. H. Otis Noyes. very Capably played the part of center or interlocutor for the circle. Much credit goes to Prof. Lyndon R. Street, who directed and supervised the whole performance.

He ' d almost as soon be bald as to have his hair curling over his head (angelic fashion— as he described it). His dark eyes were dreamy and brooding. It ' s a great life, be conceded. I ' m the very luckiest fellow on earth— finishing college next year, captain of the football team, have a new roadster, and now Mary Kent ' s house party at Lake Clear— and Marcia Benton. Mrs. Kent is an angel to have us Cluttering up her nice summer camp for two weeks anil, imagine, two whole weeks with Marcia. She ' s the most popular girl here. His thoughts abruptly turned to Mania ' s charms. Words couldn ' t describe her — sbe was superb. Tall, blonde, and blue-eyed, there was no dreamer about her. She was so vital, strong, and energetic— altogether beautiful. He never had time to think about things or talk about what he wanted to do or the goals be hoped to attain when he was with her. Jerry had a faint idea that girls didn ' t care much about work or plans for their lives. I ' ll take the roadster and go drive by myself as long as Markic is going to Burnham with Mary. Perhaps I ' ll get an idea for that essay, he told himself. Somebody is sure to want to talk if I stay around here. Five minutes later he was backing Sunshine into the road with many snorts and protests. Whither away and why? Tom Hughes ' shout drifted down from an open window. I go to meditate — to commune with nature, Jerry yelled back as he drove down the road. Sunshine purred along very slowly for a time because Jerry was in no hurry. He was very happy and contented. Suddenly his day dream broke — a horn honked behind him and a big maroon car shot past. That darn Lance Southey — and— w-why— it ' s Marcia. A sudden jerk brought his car back into the road just in time to avoid a post. Well I ' ll be — ! I.auncelot Southey! He ' s a conceited donkey ! Hack to the days when knighthood was in flower. 1 expect his middle name is Cuthbert or something which will furnish him inspiration. So Marcia is playing Guinevere to his Launcelot. I ' m old King Art in person. So he thinks I 144 I just because his ear is bigger and Iiis Pater taught him to ski)) stones with silver dollars that he can take my girl. Well, perhaps I ' ll just speed up Tennyson a little and get me an Elaine. Jerry ' s temper had run away with him. Righteous anger had taken complete possession of him. This goes to show- how sure Jerry had been of Mareia and also his information alone literary lines. Anger and injured feelings, however, couldn ' t somehow take the plaee of lunch back at The Hangout so Jerry backed Sunshine around and started home. Nearly there he espied a small risrure curled op on the grass beside the dusty road. Ho. a damsel in distress. quoth good-natured Jerry. Why so far from home, infant? he queried. Like a lift? The figure whom he had thought to be a child because it was so small and because of the mop of short brown curls rolled over and sat up. I ' m not an infant, the girl ' s voice was angry and a little shaky. Jerry stared uncertainly at her grimy, tear-stained face and considered the smudge that extended from one eyebrow to her pointed little chin. All right — young lady then — but what the deuce arc you crying about? I ' m not. Her voice was a little hysterical and her chin quivered. I-I was coming to M-Mary Kent ' s h-house party tomorrow, b-but I came today instead. N-Nobody met me and I had to w-walk. It was so hot and the handle of my suitcase broke - — sniff, snitf. My arms are all sunburned and I ' m tired. I guess I can cry anyhow if I want to. Sure — go right ahead. I ' ll just soak my handkerchief in the brook and you can wipe your face off. Perhaps you ' ll feel better then. I ' ll take you up to ' The Hangout ' the rest of the way. I ' m staying there myself. My name ' s Jerry Payne. During the ensuing operation Jerry learned that her name was Virginia Brace. He also observed the charm of her small face and the captured sunbeam that lurked in her wide, candid grey eyes. He marveled at her smallness as she sat in his little yellow roadster. Half to her and half to himself he murmured: You ' d make a ripping Blaine! which mystified her very much, of course. Just before they arrived Jerry suggested: There ' s going to be a dance tonight at Grey (tables Inn and the bunch is going over. You might have a better time if you went with someone you know well, like me. Of course Virginia was delighted and spared his feelings by not telling him that she knew a good many of the others far better than him. whom she had never seen before. I 145 1 That night as he compared hei with .Sue. Mary. Marcia and the other girls he was doubly glad he had asked her. She was SO little and so beautiful. No other word could describe the grey depths of her eyes or the merry little dimples that appeared very unexpectedly whenever she smiled. Tom had already invented a name for them. He declared they were her now you see ' em. now you don ' ts. Her brOWII curls .just brushed Marcia ' s shoulder and made her look even taller than she was. In the back of Jerry ' s brain a deep, dirk idea was gradually taking root— through Virginia he ' d get Marcia back. The plan seemed very plausible to him and be resolved to try it. You know I have a job on 77k- Daily Xrws waiting when I finish college next year, he confided to her as they were returning from the dance. It ' s a great life — being on a newspaper. I hope I ' ll get to be a crack reporter. Do all the big things. It must be wonderful. Virginia ' s voice was eager. Imagine taking pictures of people who didn ' t wan t you to and getting into mobs and murders. I might not care for the murders, but the rest would be simply splendid. funny. Jerry thought to himself, bow I can talk about things to her. 1 shouldn ' t think girls would care about things like that. For spaces, too. they just didn ' t say anything. This was another surprise. Jerry hadn ' t known that it was possible to get along and not talk. Just before they reached home Virginia said carelessly: That l.anee Southey who was with Marcia thinks he is somebody with a capital S. doesn ' t he? Jerry inquired: Did he tell you that his ancestors dug the holes for the Great Lakes ? Virginia ' s merry little laugh rang out and Jerry could have gone down on his knees and kissed both her small shoes. Yes Virginia was clearly a marvelous girl and Marcia ' s return was almost assured. Jerry slept that night with a very light heart. Not once during the following week did he beg Marcia to do anything or go anywhere with him. Not once did he show how hurt he bad been at her abrupt desertion. In fact, though Jerry wouldn ' t admit it even to himself, there did not scein to be any wrangling hurt in his heart — only a great sense of freedom and peace where the old habits of hurry and excitement had been. It began to seem natural to see Marcia witli l.anee and it seemed natural, too. to have Virginia enjoy things with him. I 146 They hiked together and drove together, they went on little picnics together and Jerry picked a great bunch of violets for her because he said they were like her— so sweet and cool and lovely. Quite a poet Jerry was getting to be. Jt was Jerry who taught her a new stroke as they swam la .ily in the cool waters of Lake Clear. This was the way matters were on the last Friday night in camp. The party was breaking up Sunday morning. ' Wouldn ' t it be great if this eould last forever? Johnny Blare lay in the hammock and kept pushing with one foot to keep it swaying. Just summer ami a camp and nothing to do but loaf for years and years. Imagine the Mater and 1 11 toddle over to Europe for a couple of months. Lance drawled lazily. Sure. It ' s great for the idle rich, but I ' m a business man — labor couldn ' t get on without me. Tom ' s good-natured voice was tinged with sarcasm. There it a Santy Claus. Jerry grinned as Mary came out onto the porch with a package. I here is not. I ' m just going to make an announcement. Tomorrow morning we ' re going to have a relay race in the lake. One girl and one boy on each team. The boys will race out to the raft and the girls back to shore. This is the prize for the winning team. What ' s the prize? What is it? It ' s a picture of the camp done in colors. Mary held Dp for their inspection an enlarged snapshot which Tom had taken last week. Sure enough, it was the dear old Hangout and there they all were except Tom. who had taken the picture. Eleven of them all perched around on the porch and Mary ' s mother was in the window. Hurrah for Mary. What fun it will be. He my partner. Louise? No. you be mine. Weesy dear. You ' ve no chance at all. Johnny. Let ' s decorate the raft. In ail this uproar Jerry ' s spirits seemed to keep falling. He couldn ' t show Marcia now. What chance would Virginia and he have against Lance and Mareia. I I IT I He. could hold his own with Lance all right — but — little Virginia. She wasn ' t strong enough perhaps to swim that far, «  Next morning the big raft was bobbing on the clear blue water, decorated with flags and streamers. Everyone was sure Lance and Marcia would win. Jerry felt pretty certain of it himself but he had a word of cheer for Virginia. Atta girl— you show ' em. You can do it, you know. I ' ll do my part anyhow. he encouraged himself as they dove into the water at the shot of a pistol and headed for the raft where the jfirls stood cheering them on. He was ahead of all now but one — a blond head that just showed above the water. Now he was almost to him, now at his shoulder. Now he was beside him but not one inch ahead could he {jet. Try as he could that wet blond head kept bobbin ; beside him and I.ancc reached up a hand to the raft the selfsame instant that Jerry did. Then the two girls were off. Jerry shook the water from his eyes and watched them. The others started a minute or two later but Lance and Jerry had eyes only for two figures streaking through the water. The blue one was Man ia and the green one was Virginia. Side by side — what a race — what swimming — as they cut through the water hardly a ripple marked their going. Look at Virginia go — I say. Lanct — look at her go. and in his excitement he pushed Lance off the float and started for shore with his eyes still on Virginia ' s green suit. Did he imagine it or was she really creeping ahead a little. He couldn ' t tell yet. She was — he was sure of it now. In dead earnest now he swam for shore. He would never get there it seemed. He wanted to shout his joy to the heavens and above all he wanted to tell Virginia what a good little sport she was. A great race, he panted as he reached her. Simply great. All hail, the best little swimmer in the world. He and Tom hoisted her to their shoulders and carried her up to camp. Half was there and Tom emitted a dismal howl. Ouch! The Indians had nothing on you. I ' m just glad my hair was put on a good solid foundation. From her rather precarious position she received her prize. Speech ! Speech ! someone shouted. Ladies and gentlemen, Virginia ' s friendly grin included everyone in her audience, I hope you ' ll all come and see the picture and me when we get home, especially Jerry as it ' s half his anyhow. I lis | That afternoon the climax occurred. Jerry, dear, would you care to take me in to town for some things? I ' m truly sorry I ' ve neglected you so much this week. ' ' Mareia ' s voice was sweet and regretful. What could he say? Of course he did want to get Marcia hack, hut why couldn ' t she bare waited till evening to have asked him to go somewhere? He had intended to ask Virginia to go fishing with him. He felt rather disappointed and somehow Uncomfortable as he climbed into the roadster. It looked funny to see Marcia in it. I.ancc ' s big car did suit her much better — he wished she were in it this minute. His little yellow roadster seemed to shrink and shrink and he shrunk, too. He tried to tell her about the newspaper position. Not much money in that kind of place, is there? .Marcia questioned in her cool, practical voice. After that Jerry didn ' t try to talk about anything personal. To save his life he couldn ' t tell afterward anything that they had talked of all that afternoon. How did you ever live through all those afternoons and evenings before you knew Virginia and talk about nothing at all of importance? a small voice inside him kept whispering. The afternoon was over at last and Marcia said as she stepped from the road- ster: Tonight is the last time we ' ll be able to go to the dances at the Inn. Jerry. Going to take me tonight? Please. Sorry. Markie. he apologized. I ' m going to be very busy. His very busv evening was taking Virginia to walk beside the lake. I ' ve been an awful idiot. Virginia, he admitted as he asked her to go. Oh. Jerry. I don ' t like idiots much, but as long as you say you ' have been ' one it may be you ' re over the disease. ' Let ' s sit and talk a while. he suggested as they came to a high. Hat rock. I ' d love to — but — the means of ascent? Easy. he boasted and lifted her carefully up onto it. then climbed up be- side her. A fat. orange moon like a Japanese lantern at a lawn party turned the waves to silver lace as they softly splashed against the pebbly beach. Far out the lake was some dead king ' s great, still blanket of silver cloth. Did you really mean that I might come up and see the picture sometimes? Jerry ' s voice was wistful. I ' d like to awfully much. I 149 1 Of course, if you think it isn ' t too far from New York. I ' d conn: if it were way to tile moon — the moon isn ' t so far away tonight anyhow, is it? At this point, regrettable though it may seem. Virginia lost her balance and almost slid off the rock. That ' s why it was very necessary lor Jerry to put his arm around her and pull her hack very close to him. I ' ve had a wonderful time up hire. Some day I ' ll write a story about it. •Terry said dreamily. Shall I be in it? Virginia turned her head against his shoulder to look up into his face. Of course — you ' ll he my heroine or. you know, leading lady. What will you call me? Elaine the Fair. Whom will you be? King Arthur. Elaine and Arthur. Hut we ' re not like them. Jerry laid his cheek against her curls and put forth his last saving argument. We ' re revised editions, dear — times have changed. Hei.k : I). H mom LEY, I ISO I Jfltlegtones; How quickly have flown the past three years. It seems just a summer ago that we were graduated from high school. Now another commencement is upon us hut what a vastly different conception of life docs this word commencement have for us now. To many, in high school, their commencement signifies the end of three years (more like three centuries) of secondary education and the diploma which was given them was considered a mattress upon which to lie in peaceful rest. It takes all kinds of people to make a world and thus there were others of us in high school who decided that education was like delicious candy— we wanted more. Now that we have had more, are we going to he satisfied? Commencement must mean more than the end of something; it must mean the heginning of new life, for wt are. as yet. infants, not only in legal aspect, hut in our conception of what we term life. In other words, this is the heginning of a new facial period; we have just completed facing three of the most impressionable and enjoyable years of our lile and we are still to face the future. Whether or not we shall succeed depends entirely upon our own determination. However, we as teachers of a younger generation must he successes, not because of ourselves, but because of the great responsibility which rests upon us in the sh aping of many future lives. Ah. yes, our commencement is just another mile post which we shall have passed on our non-stop flight to accomplish our greatest ambitions. Someone may say. how are we going to measure success? Well, it is certain that by our choice of profession we shall not measure our success by the amount of money which we may accumulate. We must strive for much higher standards than this of success. Accomplishment of our highest aims and realization of long-considered and benefit- deriving objectives which have great future value will he the ke_ note of our success. Thus, if we have the ability to make this a better place in which to live, it is our duty and should be our foremost aim. Don- W. Hohkhts, ' 30. I 1 1 I Officers YllMilMA A.

Honorary Member I 153 I Llteraturej a subject of interest to all students, has proved the inspiration for the founding of a club for its further study. It was really an outcome of benefit and enjoyment derived from the course in advanced literature that culminated in the plan for a literary study circle. After obtaining permission from Doctor Hawkins to found this club, the plan was submitted to Mr. Paul H. Hartman. instructor of English and literature, who very kindly lent his support and backing. It is under his able and enthusiastic guidance that this group is deriving much pleasure and profit from its weekly meetings. J I was decided to choose phases of literary study which would not be confined to any one type of literature, nor to the literature of any one country, and thus to vary the study enough to meet the interests of the group as a whole. This research work is reported on and discussed at our round table meetings every Thursday afternoon. To be eligible for membership one must have earned at least a B final grade in general literature, and must he sufficiently interested in this subject to be willing to devote considerable time to its further studv. A very perplexing problem to be settled was that of finding a suitable name for the group. Having chosen the mythical Greek horse, Pegasus, for a symbol, the aid of Doctor Henshaw was solicited in providing a name which would be in keeping with it. Through his aid and suggestion the initials of our Literary club became Beta Sigma — the symbols being very appropriate and significant to students of literature. It was unanimously decided that because of the interest Doctor Henshaw has always taken in literature and in P. S. X. S. he should be elected an honorary member. Oil. Pegasus! Thou wondrous winged steed, ' final icst nut to earth for prince nor kin;. ' : I may not bid Thee come nor call Thee mine. Hut lo! I have a feather trom Thy wing It gleams upon the sand, all crumpled, bent, Oh, Pegasus, conic back and claim Thine own.

FACTS There are in Normal School ambitious young men and women who would like to work after school hours in order to finance their education. Why not think of them when you need part-time help? Your helping them may mean to such students the difference between failure and success. They can do mostly any kind of work ; better yet, they are ambitious and WILLING to work in order to better themselves. W hy not make it a point to help at least one such student? Every school has them. Financially, they are on the danger line. They enter Normal with much the same spirit as animated Columbus when he sailed into the unknown : they just are gambling, taking a chance. NOW IS YOUR TIME - - right now as you read this ad. Make a hurried notation of this ; investigate the facts ; the school will give them to you. It has the one student you can afford to help. See the principal of the school — or just phone — more information will be given you. How to Develop a Useful Shorthand Vocabulary lCY ,E ' the 0Ut8tan n 8 merits of the Three Red Books f Gregg Shorthand V. i the economic distribution of the task of building a useful shorthand vocab- ulary. The Three Red Books were constructed as a unit through which the building of a useful writing vocabulary progresses with pedagogic accuracy. Each of the three texts undertakes its definite share of this task. To the Shorthand Manual is given the task of building the vocabulary of highest frequency. Its theory principles are illustrated by, and the reading and writing exercise grouped around, the three thousand most commonly used words. To Progressive Exercises the second Ked H«« k. is allocated the duty of extending this vocabulary to the fourth and fifth thousand words by means of short diagnostic tests and sentence drills on each of the units in the Manual. To Gregg Speed Studies the third Ked Hook, is given the important task of putting the combined vocab- ulary of the Shorthand Manual and of Progressive Kxerciscs to work immedi- ately through the medium of interesting and instructive business letters and articles. And, in addition. Speed Studies takes up the task of broadening the student ' s writing vocabulary by teaching him some 250(1 words that Horn ' s Study places beyond a frequency of five thousand, but which occur in present-day busi- ness use Often enough to make their mastery essential. Let lis send you an examination copy of the new Speed Studies. Try it in your beginning theory class a few days and you will find that it is correctly named The Companion Text to the Shorthand Manual. Kvery one of its 314 pages is packed with helpful aids — choice drills on shorthand penmanship, on brief -form derivatives, on frequent phrases, etc. It brings to the student hundreds of selected letters and articles written in beautiful shorthand, visualizing modern business at work. Attractively bound in red cloth to match the Manual. List price $1.20. Send for Course of Study in Gregg Shorthand based on these Three Red Books. It is yours for the asking.
