EX L I B R I S The 1933 Cardinal NINETEENTH VOLUME Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of Plattsburg State Normal School plattsburg, n. y. FOREWORD With the publication of this traditional me- morial, The Cardinal, the labor of the days spent in its creation is ended. The Class of 1933 presents this volume to its readers as an enduring record of their final year in Plaftsburg State Normal School, a symbol of the life of which they have been a vital part. May its pages be a constantly increasing source of happy recollections in the years to come. « 7  G3239 The Class of 1933 dedicates this Cardi- nal to Charles W. Brown, our Class Ad riser and Friend, hoping that if may symbolize a measure of our appreciation of his efforts in guiding us through three years in P. S. N. S. Whatever success ive have at- tained as a class we owe, in part, to him, and we shall miss his friendly guidance in the years to come. The Class of 1933. « s  Class of 1933: I give you a message of congratulation. You enjoy the distinction of receiving your diplomas in the first class to graduate from the new Normal School which has arisen like a Phoenix from the ashes of the old. It is the inauguration of a new era. For two years you have witnessed the almost magical transformations which were making what had become a place of ruin and desolation into a place of beauty and desire. In the midst of difficulties and inconvenience you caught and held an optimistic vision of what your senior year might be among spacious surroundings and stimulating opportunities. That vision you have seen measurably realized. You have beheld a Normal School of latest type in the process of making and the physical rejuvenation of Alma Mater accomplished. These unusual experiences will I think produce inspiring recollections. « 9  TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION THE SCHOOL Administration Classes ACTIVITIES FRATERNITIES FEATURES Class Day Cardinal Prize Story Alumni Advertisements « IO  THE DOMES OF NORMAL When o ' er the western slopes the day-star ' s fading light Bedecks the heavenly span in spectral grandeur bright, There stands within our view, reflected in the west, The pigeoned toivers of Normal! The dormered eaves of Normal! The storied lights of Normal , where Learning ' s banners rest. Dark shades the vision clouds; destruction blinds our eyes; All ' round our sacred place, a fiendish sacrifice, The work of years, where Art and Wisdom blessed us all, Sinks with the spires of Normal! The crumbling walls of Normal! Our ivy cloistered Normal, in one vast funeral pall. But on the placid face of Cham plain ' s sapphire bay Faint gleams of struggling light announce another day! They gleam! The vision grows! It fills the blinded eye, The risen domes of Normal! The burnished domes of Normal! The living domes of Normal, against the western sky. Then ban the black despair that threats to break the heart When proud -apparelled works of hand and mind depart; New courage take and on! You ' ll build again more vast, As were the domes of Normal! The sturdy domes of Normal! The rock-ribbed domes of Normal rebuild ed from the blast. — Paul H. Hartman. « i i  YESTERDAY During the years 1889 and 1890 there was erected in Plattsburg a hand- some, stately building, known as the Plattsburg State Normal School. For forty years it stood, one of the chief sources of pride to the community. The fine old building was erected at the head of Court Street, on a gentle rise over- looking the city. A professional landscape artist had tastefully laid out the spacious campus. It contained an artificial lake, fed by a fountain, which gave a pleasant contrast to the majestic trees, green lawns, and gravel walks. The lofty tower, the brick walls, covered with ivy which had been planted through the years by graduating classes, at once drew admiring glances from passersby. Everyone felt a personal affection for the old school. To the boys and girls who attended it and to the people of Plattsb urg it seemed a friendly guardian. It fairly irradiated a personality that was truly lovable. On January 26, 1929, a fire swept through the school totally destroying it. Everyone who gazed upon the bleak, ice-covered ruins, the tottering walls, the once majestic tower with great strips torn out of its sides, sensed a personal loss, and a deep feeling of regret. To those closely connected with the school came the thought of the many pleasant hours spent within its walls. These happy associations dear to their hearts seemed taken away within an instant. There was the inevitable feeling that its place could never be filled, but — « 12  TODAY — on the place where the old school stood, a magnificent new building has been erected. It was completed in 1 932. after a period of construction lasting two years, at a cost of slightly over a million dollars . This building far surpasses the fondest hopes of all as to what the new school would be. It is artistically constructed, the architecture being a modified Gothic. It is very extensive in size, covering far more space on the campus than did the old school. Upon visiting the building one is greatly impressed by the beautiful halls, the well-arranged, modernly furnished classrooms. The auditorium is espe- cially beautiful. Here is a stage equipped with modern lighting, a projection room, and provision for installing an organ. Other special features of the new school are the art. crafts, manual training, and science rooms: the kindergarten, library, children ' s library, music room, the gymnasiums, and the cafeteria. The landscaping about the building has been altered and will in the future provide a lovely setting. Once more life and youth, laughter and work are on the campus. Once more a building stands, a guardian, an inspiration, and an encouragement to those who are aspiring to higher fields of endeavor. To those who felt a per- sonal loss at the passing of the old school has come the feeling that perhaps the one of the present day will fill the place in their hearts that the old school held. New school, we hail thee! Frances Fayette. « 13  « 14 « i 5  Administration   -O) George K. Hawkins. A.M., D.Sc. Principal Tcnbrook Academy: Frcdonia Normal School; Union College.

Hawkins, Principal From the Class of 1933 As we began our last year in Normal School, we con- gratulated ourselves upon the fact that we were to have the honor of being the first class to graduate from the new Normal School building. Now. as we finish that last year, we find ourselves doubly honored. Not only are we to be the first to grad- uate from the new building, we are also to be the last to receive diplomas from the hand of Doctor Hawkins. Prin- cipal of the School for thirty -five years. The honor of receiving the last diplomas to be presented by our retiring Principal will add a hundredfold to the sentiment attached to those official certificates. Although we have been under the influence of Doctor Hawkins for only three of the fifty years which he has spent in the service of New York State, we leave his kindly ministrations with a new ideal of culture, dignity, and scholarship. The class of 1933 wishes you. Doctor Hawkins, many happy days of well-earned pleasure and rest. 47  The hand that rounded Peter ' s dome And groined the aisles of Christian Rome, Wrought in a sad sincerity: Himself from God he could not free; He builded better than he knew; The conscious stone to beauty grew. — Emerson. « 48  JUNIORS q ((( )) c 1 D â– JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President EDWIN FUNNEI.L Vice-President ALICE BOLLES Secretary CONSTANCE KEARNEY Treasurer EDWARD MERRIHEW Adviser PAUL H. HARTMAN Class Motto — Simplicity: Sincerity; Service Colors — Green and Gold Class Flower — Yellow Rose « jo JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Green; greener: greenest. What? Grass: the flag of Ireland: and the 1932 freshman class at Normal: but at least we were green and growing. Indeed, we grew very fast, and our first sprout of wisdom was displayed early in Octo- ber when we unanimously elected Edwin Funnell class president, with Alice Bolles, vice-president, Constance Kearney, secretary, and Edward Merrihew. treasurer. Soon after this Marjorie Rock was elected as CARDINAL representa- tive. We also chose class colors, Green and Gold: a class flo wer, the Yellow Rose: and Simplicity: Sincerity; Service as our guiding motto. Then we did an even wiser thing: we selected Mr. Hartman as our class adviser. For his generous assistance and direction during the past two years we are exceed- ingly and sincerely grateful. With such excellent leadership we could hardly fail to grow and increase in wisdom until, after having been delightfully entertained by the juniors and seniors, early in September, and having practiced acting as hosts and hostesses at the return dance in October, we launched our first important freshman activity, and issued invitations for the Mid-Year Hop at the Masonic Temple. Feb- ruary 5. Here we proved, to ourselves and to others, how very well we were able to work together, and what fine things we could accomplish in so doing. By this time some of our green was beginning to wear off. and we delib- erately chose St. Patrick ' s Day for the date of our assembly program. In the preparation of this masterpiece we discovered much latent talent, and won for ourselves new laurels. Then spring arrived, followed closely by mild attacks of spring fever, final exams. June dances, and parting from teachers, classmates, and our old friend, the City Hall. September. 1932! How one year at Normal had mellowed us. You would really never think to look at us that we had ever been freshmen, for nothing green remained except our class color, of which we were still justly proud. This year has been one of most pleasant surprises. Our new school was so different that we were obliged to adjust ourselves to an entirely new situation, as some of our teachers would explain: but we soon organized the class, re-elect- ing our officers and class adviser of the previous year, and settled down to study and work of varying types and interest. Our most ambitious and successful project was the sponsoring of a lecture, December 1 , by the renowned poet and philosopher, Edwin Markham. This was the first program given in the new building, and we felt highly honored in having the dean of American poets as our guest on this important occasion. Since Christmas vacation the class has been active, but very little unusual has occurred. On March 30, in anticipation of a busy senior year, we elected what promises to be an efficient CARDINAL staff, which is just waiting for the word Go to begin enthusiastic work on our year book. Now, as we approach the end of our second year at Normal, only one official junior act remains. Already preparations are being made to make the Junior Prom one of the outstanding events of the year. Then we will adjourn for a few months to give the class time to cultivate the added poise and dignity appro- priate for seniors. Rita Boire. « 5 1  !

OTIS NOYES Class Motto — Veritas et labor omnia vincet Class Colors — Blue and Gold Class Flower — White Rose « 58  FRESHMAN CLASS HTSTORY On September 13, 1932, Plattsburg State Normal received within the portals of its new building a group of about ninety eager and excited freshmen. The first few days in our new surroundings were strenuous ones. Most of the first week of school was spent in taking entrance tests. Although we didn ' t realize it at the time, these tests were of much value to us because they proved beyond a doubt that we were a class possessed of unusual abilities, lofty ideals, and extraordinary intelligence. After giving us a few weeks to become acquainted with each other Mr. Diebolt, of the faculty, called a meeting of the freshmen for the purpose of choosing class officers. This meeting resulted in the selection of Verfield Graves, president: Jane Wright, vice-president: Marjorie Ingalls. secretary: Walter Gonyea, treasurer. Mr. H. Otis Noyes was chosen as faculty adviser. The selection was a good one for Mr. Noyes has helped us so willingly and so untiringly in all of our undertakings that it is beyond our ability to repay him. Early in October the freshman class was royally entertained by the juniors and seniors at a dance in our honor in the new gymnasium. This hospitable act was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by us. and shortly before the Thanksgiving recess we returned the courtesy by tendering our upperclassmen an informal party and dance. Of course a good time was had by all. Our first experience with mid-year examinations came in January, and although they lumped large and caused some little worry, we succeeded in getting by the first milestone of our academic journey with a high measure of success. With the first semester past we turned our thoughts and energies toward the big social event of our freshman year, the Mid-Year Hop. This was the first big social affair held in the new gymnasium. It was carried through in a highly successful and gratifying manner under the able direction of William Brennan, Walter Cronin. Dorothy Helie. Ellie Rowe and their assistants. The music, furnished by Freddy Lynch and his orchestra from Burlington, Vt., was of high type and enjoyed by the one hundred and eighty- five couples who were present. About two weeks after the Mid-Year Hop the freshmen sponsored one of the best entertainments of the year when they brought Sydney Landon. noted literary interpreter and impersonator, to the Normal stage, where he gave a most artistic program to an appreciative audience of several hundred students and friends. Needless to say, the members of the freshman class have been well received by the several fraternities, sororities and other clubs and organizations in the school. We were also well represented in the intramural volley ball leagues, and demonstrated that we had athletic as well as scholastic prowess. The last months of the year were rather calm and sedate ones, so far as the freshmen were concerned. Too soon June and finals arrived, and then fare- wells and happy vacations brought our first year in Normal to an end.

But we mean none of these. They are found in every entering class. Even you upperclassmen had them once. However, we lay claim to being the most versatile and gifted class to start in the new P. S. N. S. building. (Do you doubt it?) On what do we base this unmistakably distinguished honor? Eyes, dear classmen, were made for seeing, and this list is its own excuse for being.

Days we used to know; Every day and every way We wish we were there again: Friends and foes, young and old. We were always with, — I ' d walk a mile to see a smile On those chums of mine again.

Mr. Hartman. the literature instructor, is the regular adviser of the club. Since its origin three and one-half years ago, Beta Sigma has been very successful. Anyone attaining a B grade in the regular survey courses in literature and desirous of continuing their study of literature is eligible for membership. The material and authors to be studied are chosen by the majority vote of the members. This year the basis of our study was the poetry of Robert Browning and mythology. Inspired by the aim of an ideal literature room Beta Sigma has made literary contributions to the school. A bust of Shakespeare was the first gift. Two volumes of The Poems and Plays of Robert Browning. Orpheums (a book of mythology), three volumes of Byron ' s works and two volumes of Tenny- son ' s are the beginning of a Beta Sigma library. The two latter books were given by Mr. Hartman, who is especially interested in the development of this library. We hope the fine beginning of a collection of literary contributions made this year will grow and become an outstanding light to future literature students. Socially, Beta Sigma has had a very successful year. In October a social evening was enjoyed by the club at Mr. Hartman ' s home. A few months later a very pleasurable evening was spent on a merry, old-fashioned straw-ride which was climaxed by an oyster stew and a good time at the Young Women ' s League. Our year ' s work in Beta Sigma has been exceptionally beneficial and pleasur- able. We hope that the members who take our places will glean, as we have, both literary knowledge and enjoyment from their affiliations with this club.

Starting with a highly enjoy- able social meeting at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Peterson, the club entered upon a fine program of activity. The members relied upon one social and one business meeting each month to keep in formal contact with each other, and during these meetings the plans were made which resulted in more extended activities. There was an excursion through the rural schools of Vermont, a trip through the Republican printing office, a hotly fought magazine contest and, finally, a banquet at the Cumber- land Hotel which drew many teachers as well as students and others interested in rural education. Several district superintendents gave five-minute talks and the address of the evening was delivered by Miss Helen H. Heyl of the State Education Department. This year was our first in the new building. A goodly number of the entering class lengthened the scroll of the Rural Club which showed a growth in membership from fourteen to sixty-five. New life meant new projects. Volley ball teams were organized, starting with a challenge by the Rural Club to the school. The magazine contest blazed fiercely to a close with the team captained by Don Hendricks the winner. The social meetings took on an added lustre with the introduction of such speakers as Prof. M. C. Livingston of Peru. Miss Rascoe, county nurse, and Mr. John Burnham. world explorer. The annual trip to the Vermont schools was a marked success. A lecture. How to Handle Trouble, by Dr. Bernard C. Clausen of Syra- cuse was sponsored by the club, and the proceeds were used to make possible the second annual dinner at the Witherill Hotel. Dr. Fannie W. Dunn, asso- ciate professor of rural education of Teachers ' College. Columbia University, was the speaker. Thus another successful year drew to a close. Harold Hartwell. « 69  SCIENCE CLUB Science, offering untold opportunities for observation, experimentation, and appreciation, has been a somewhat neglected study in elementary schools. Mind- ful of this, the Science Club of ' 32 and ' 33 was organized for the purpose of promoting a greater interest in science and to explore and exploit the teaching possibilities found in this study. It aims also to promote programs of general interest to the grade students as well as to the prospective teachers. The club is trying an unusual type of classroom procedure, yet one in keep- ing with the aims and objectives of the New York State Syllabus. Using the syllabus as a guide and the manual training and science rooms as laboratories, the club has worked out practical problems in elementary science under the direction of Mr. Rusterholtz. The syllabus organization of seventeen units has been followed and each group has worked out a problem relative to one unit. A modern and complete barn, a rabbit hutch, and a miniature house have been constructed. Aquariums, a feeding station for birds, a bird bath, bird houses, a museum case, rock garden and pool, and various germinating beds have also been built and put into immediate use. Scrapbooks and mount- ings have been done by members. Other activities of the club include the arranging for seasonal lectures and trips to places offering possibilities for first-hand experience in an elementary science course, the making of plans for appropriate Bird Day and Arbor Day programs, and a Science Fair at the close of the semester. Enjoyable events during the year included the trip to the Glens Falls schools and the Christmas party in the science room. Elizabeth McDonough. Geraldine Layman.

The club has proven an excellent means of doing these things. Two of the most enjoyable events during the year were the Christmas festival and an informal tea. It has been possible for the club to be present at and to take part in several special programs in the kindergarten. With appointed committees taking the responsibility for each month ' s plans, we have had a number of good times during the year. The enthusiasm of the members this year points to a continu- ance of the club during the following years.

In 1931 we joined forces with the May Festival Asso- ciation of Clinton County, and have cooperated with them in the earnest endeavor to promote greater appreciation of worthwhile music, and to afford an opportunity to observe the progress of music students in our community and the neighboring towns. This year the Music Association was organized early in February when our two hundred music enthusiasts met in the auditorium and elected the above officers.

At the first regular meeting the club was organized and immediately set to work on rehearsals. The voices soon showed mid-season form. The club participated along with the Girls ' Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus in a concert given for the benefit of the CARDINAL. It will participate further in the May Music Festival. The men have enjoyed the work in the club immensely and have shown their appreciation by attending rehearsals regularly, thus producing very favor- able programs.

At the first concert held in the new auditorium the chorus offered two selections which were very well received by the audience.

Let it not be for present delight, nor for present use alone, let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, See! this our fathers did for us. — Ruskin. « 80  Fraternities Id t we say; we do; by what we are. 3)3) DELTA CHAPTER of ALPHA KAPPA PHI 1 D ACTIVE CHAPTERS OF ALPHA KAPPA PHI ALPHA.

Wing (C This last year especially has been most eventful. We began with a most successful Open House Party. This was followed by a quiet period touched only by such things as a raffle, rummage and candy sale, a card party and finally just before Christmas a holiday dance. Immediately after the vacation, rush began. This, of course, included many happy parties which resulted in an unusually colorful Judgment Night. We felt sure that our efforts had been rewarded by the pretty picture that the many pledges presented at the formal pledge banquet and dance. Just before Easter we staged our assembly initiation program. This was our first opportunity of the year to display our talent. Again we were rewarded for our work, if only by applause. May brought the most important event of our whole year — Convocation. How we planned and worked and worried over this gala affair. We were more than successful. Then June — June with its sunny days, its formal banquets and dances, its desperate cramming, its happy wishes, its success, its tearful farewell. All that is good must end. Yes, they will end, our happy schoolgirl days in Ago, but the memory will be there. Such memories have no end. Marjorie Rock. « S3  DELTA CHAPTER of CLIO ACTIVE CHAPTERS OF CLIONIAN SORORITY ALPHA.

Besides being students at the Normal, the gay chattering group of girls who met at the Young Women ' s League. September 19, had another thing in com- mon. They were all Clionians. The desire to renew old friendships and to retell the experiences of the summer speedily led to a series of informal suppers. We remember the more serious side of these banquets, the candlelight on young faces, and the slow sweet melody of the Clio Hymn. The song changes to the Clio song of welcome. The doors of the League were thrown open to the freshman class and to the whole student body for that matter. Success followed on the heels of a good orchestra and a congenial atmosphere. But time has a habit of slipping away loo quickly, and almost too soon it was December. Mrs. Amsden donated a doll which we raffled to the great benefit of our treasury. As vacation drew near, we decided on and carried out a Christmas dance which we all enjoyed. With the new year came preparations for rush which for the first time had been delayed to the second semester upon the agreement of all the sororities. The usual exciting and highly emotional week terminated with our Judgment Banquet and Dance at the Cumberland. Every Clio was present with her pledges. Now that the year is drawing to a close, we will soon be leaving Clio, some of us forever, others for just the summer months. To all of us. however, will come in our reminiscent moments memories of the joys and sorrows shared in Clio.

I see the banner decorating our club room on that evening of September 22, 1932, the occasion of our Open House dance. What a delightful time was had by our friends to the gay tunes of an orchestra. Immediately we brought more honor to our sorority by adopting the scho- lastic basis for admitting new members. Our Christmas party sent us all away for a grand vacation, inspired by the spirit of Alpha Delta. In February, after becoming well acquainted with the girls of our school, rush was ushered in with a North Pole party. This may sound chilly, but the atmosphere could not have been more friendly and warm than it was on that memorable evening. Our Lucky Star party was both pleasing and pretty. Who can forget those silver stars leading each one of us to our new home? Informal initiation was fun for all of us. Even the freshmen will admit that. And then our formal initiation! What a happy year! The seniors have a queer feeling when they stop to think that this is the end for them. The last — no.

In the fall of 1932 the members of Delta Tau Chi went forth with new 7.eal to meet the problems they had to solve. First came the informal initiation. We surely were not disappointed in the pledgees. They all proved themselves to be true blue and real sports. Then there followed the formal initiation with its beauty and solemnity. At the banquet for the neophytes which was held at the Peru Tavern fifteen young men were heartily welcomed into Delta Tau Chi. The meetings were held regularly at which the new members became ac- quainted and entered with the greatest enthusiasm into the task of making Delta Tau Chi a living and active fraternity. A very enjoyable evening was spent during the winter when the male mem- bers of the faculty and student body gathered at the gym for a good time. Nor was anyone disappointed. Feeling the need of more financial support during the depression, the members staged a volley ball game between the faculty and Delta Tau Chi. A small admission charge did much toward filling the money box. The frater- nity as a whole wishes to show its appreciation for the splendid cooperation and support given by the student body and faculty. Plans are now going forward for the grande finale of the year — the spring banquet which promises to be an outstanding event.

From the first strains of the music from a well-known orchestra until the last good night was said the evening was one to be remem- bered with pleasure by everyone present. An air of spontaneous gayety per- vaded the place, giving proof that everyone was having a good time. As in all achievements, there was power behind the throne. Mr. Noyes, the faculty adviser of the class, deserves a great amount of credit for his skillful guidance of this first venture of the class of 1935. The most fitting comment we can make upon the affair is that it did credit to the beautiful building in which it was held. Helen Carpenter. « 92  IRRITATIONS AT P. S. N. S. 1.

Elizabeth McDonough. 96 I PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS Heretofore it has always seemed to me that the program occasioned by graduation from any institution of learning, instead of being known as Com- mencement Week should be called Completion Week or some finer phrase meaning essentially the same. Now more and more have we come to the conclusion that it is truly a commencement in the realest and most literal sense. Far more than marking th e end of our school life, must it mark the beginning of a new life, in which our fine theories and idealism must meet and fuse with practice to create a new and better service. Considering world conditions as they are today, with economic and social problems of tremendous magnitude crying for solution, it is certain that the probable span of our teaching careers will see a revolution in financial and sociological thought and practice that in comparative importance will dwarf the industrial revolution of the past. As teachers and administrators we must prepare and hold ourselves ready, alert to meet every need and willing to expend ourselves to the utmost when we are called. I am sure that all my classmates are in accord when I pledge the class of ' 33 to do this always. Elbert Hubbard said: The man who is worthy of being a teacher (leader) of men will never complain of the stupidity of his helpers, of the ingratitude of mankind, nor of the inappreciation of the public. These things are all a part of the great game of life and to meet them and not go down before them in discouragement and defeat is the final proof of power. What a splendid philosophy for us to follow in company with our class motto, Ad Alta — To the Heights. At one time or another during graduation it seems as though each heart must hold some sort of prayer. If we were given the power to read these hearts I wonder if we might not find somewhat of these feelings: God bless the Plattsburg State Normal School with all it has meant and shall come to mean to me. Help me to be worthy of the ideals created in me: grant me the ability to fuse theory and practice that I may offer a fuller and richer teaching: keep me humble and teach me to discern all the kernels of truth in all opposition to my plans: keep me from swerving to radicalism or to reactionism, but rather hold my feet firmly in the path of larger vision which deems ideals and attitudes as the supreme contribution of a teacher to her pupils. Brace the doors of my mind wide open to change: let me grow and expand with my pupils, happy and serene in their love and trust: and finally when the time comes that I must step aside for younger feet and nimbler wits and hands — be Thou beside me. Charles Keedle. « 97  SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Backward — Turn backward Oh! Time in your light Make me a Frosh again Oh ' , those days of delight. Reminiscing; Let us go back one year — two years — three years ago! It was September, 1930. What was happening? A new freshman class was entering Normal which was convening in the City Hall. Each one was anxious and full of anticipation for their days in Normal, and yet some were still in doubt as to whether they were really going to be satisfied. Class spirit and cooperation began to permeate the group when the first class meeting was called, and the class was organized. The following class officers were chosen to lead the class: President, Ruth Gonyea; vice-president, Margaret Coopy; secretary, Bertha Jacques; treasurer, Bernice King: CARDINAL representative, Mildred Carter. Mr. Brown, whose willingness and guiding counsel made our first year happy and successful, was chosen to be our class adviser. Our initiation into Normal School society came with a party given by the upperclassmen. Later we gave them a return dance. The big event of the year came when we sponsored the Mid-Year Ball. The dance was a marked success, and it was at this dance that we displayed our new banner which had been designed by Mr. Brown. The remainder of the year passed by more or less uneventfully save for our assembly program, a minstrel show, which, judging from the applause, was well received. Thus ended our first year. Backward — turn Backward Oh! Time in your flight Make me a Junior again Oh! those days of delight! In September. 1931, we returned to the City Hall again, but this year as juniors. There was an added air of dignity and assurance about the class. It was soon organized and the following officers were chosen to guide us through our second year: Louise Lenaghen, president; Charles Keedle. vice-president: « 98  Frances Holland, secretary; Ruth Gonyea, treasurer: Mildred Carter, CARDINAL representative. Mr. Brown was again chosen as our adviser. Some new mem- bers were gained and some were lost in our junior year. The class of ' 33 mourns the death of a dear classmate and comrade, Miss Frances Bissonnette. In June the class gave the annual Junior Prom which was as much of a success as our Freshman Hop had been. Again we bade farewell to the seniors, and so our second year was ended. The following September we returned to find ourselves in our new Normal School building. The beauty and stateliness of the new Alma Mater made us happy that we could spend our final year within its spacious halls. The class was organized immediately. Charles Keedle was chosen as our president: Elizabeth Clifton as vice-president: Frances Holland as secretary: and Bertha Jacques as treasurer. Mr. Brown was again asked by the class to be our adviser. The officers, together with Mr. Brown and the CARDINAL staff, began to assume their respective responsibilities. Committees were chosen and the plans for the year were soon being formulated. The cooperation and willingness of the officers and their desire to represent the class in their best capacity is to be commended. Much credit is also due the committees which have functioned during the year. The class, together with the juniors, gave a party to the incoming freshmen, which was the first party to be held in our new gymnasium. In February the Glee Clubs gave a program for the benefit of the CARDINAL. The class wish to thank the organizations and Mr. Street. These three years have slipped by so quickly, so happily! Our goal, grad- uation, is just ahead. We must bid farewell to our Alma Mater. As Tennyson has said, The old order changeth yielding place to new, and we, the class of 1933, must move on and out to pastures new, relinquishing our places and responsibilities to our successors, the class of 1934. Elizabeth Clifton. « 99 q LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF ' 33 We, the Senior Class of Plattsburg State Normal School, of the City of Plattsburg. Clinton County.

I mused, I will be back among my classmates again. Only a few more weeks after that we shall each be going our own way. Now I wonder where each member of the senior class will be a few years hence. In walked my brother with his motion picture camera which had a talkie attachment. How would you like to see my latest movie? he asked as he began setting up his screen. I ' d be delighted. I assured him. What is the title of it? My answer came to me from the screen. The Class of 1933, Plattsburg State Normal School. As the pictures were flashed before me. I saw Margaret Coopy singing in the Metropolitan Opera before a full house. As the last notes rang out and the applause began, I was reminded of the day back in the City Hall when Margaret sang Roses of Picardy with the students and faculty of P. S. N. S. as her audience. Backstage I found Marie McCormick. ready to go on for her part. Yes. Marie used to sing in Mr. Street ' s Glee Club, and she was Peg ' s side kick, too, so I didn ' t wonder that they were working here together. Outside in the row for reporters. Eveline Brothers was standing ready to take notes on the comments of the audience. Veronica LaBombard was there, too. I remembered a certain alertness and quick-to-act spirit which distinguished both of these girls, and I knew that the reporter business wasn ' t a bit too fast for them. The scene shifted. An artist ' s studio was presented on the screen. Tea was being served to a large party of guests. I looked for the hostess. Jeanette Bailey! Of course! It was Jan who drew the best Christmas pictures on the blackboard at the Normal. Jeanette was speaking. How good it seems to have some of my old classmates with me today. (Yes. among the guests were several members of the class of ' 33.) Jeanette went on. And to what positions they have risen! Why there ' s Louise I.enaghen. the buyer for Wanamaker ' s. who has traveled the world over in her search for the best in the department store line. Frances McNally sat at the head of the fancy articles department in the same store. To be sure, Fran and Louise ever did have things in common back in school. Alice Smart has designed some of the most popular gowns of the day. Alice always did have a splendid taste in clothes. Jeanette Ballard is chairman of the largest garden club in New York City. Her study of bulbs under Mr. Rusterholtz must have led to higher ambitions. There ' s Elizabeth McDonough. too, the well-known pianist. How she always did play the piano! We have with us also Eleanor Cutting, whose essays are read the country over. The seed of her essay writing was planted in Mr. Hartman ' s English and literature classes at Normal School. « 103 q u i D Muriel Ducharme is an artist, too. Remember how she made the best- looking plates in Mr. Brown ' s art classes. ' Then, to be sure, there is my old pal, Margaret Bourey, whose history researches have led to discoveries hitherto unknown to the world. Anyhow, it ' s a nice party, Jeanette concluded. And it certainly was. I recognized on the screen each one of my old school- mates as Jan named them. But there was no time for me to think about that. Immediately at this point the scene changed again. This time I perceived an exquisite beauty parlor. There were three familiar forms in white uniforms getting ready for work. Geraldine Layman, Marjorie Stickney and Ruth Alpert were still three-in-one. As Marj turned on the radio which was at one end of the room, a familiar voice was heard. Why. that sounds like Aurilla Weir! Jerry exclaimed. Sure enough it was Rilly ' s voice, and the announcer made known also that the singer was broadcasting from Station WPG in Atlantic City. As Marj turned off the radio, Jerry continued: I knew from the day Rilly sang with Peg Nephew her first year at Normal that her voice would make her career. Then Jerry thought of something more. I understand that Lillian Arthur has made a name for herself by her study of balanced aquariums. I remember how diligently she cared for Rusty ' s goldfish in science class at Normal. Ruth had something to offer, too. I read in yesterday ' s newspaper that Edna Rivers has married a dashing young army officer from West Point and is looking forward to settling down in a beautiful new home on the Hudson. His photo was in the paper and you know my reputation for recognizing good- looking men, so when I say ' dashing ' you can imagine what a good bet Edna has! At this point Geraldine picked up a newspaper and glancing at the front page she exclaimed: Why. listen to this: Miss Mila Bola Ready to Take Off on Her Anticipated Non-stop Flight to China. We never could guess what Mila ' s ambitions were, and now we find that she had turned to aviation in a big way. Here ' s another spectacular article: Frances Holland expected to be the next New York State Senator. Fran is taking after her father, going into poli- tics hot and heavy. Turning the page. Jerry ' s chin sank again. Why, here ' s an article saying that Elizabeth Clifton has been elected presi- dent of the National Educational Association. And here ' s another telling about Grace Collins ' plan to participate in the greatest debate held in this country for many years. Grace always did have a faculty for arguing. Looking further through the paper, Jerry concluded: Guess that ' s all from the old class. But Marjorie. peeking over her shoulder, saw something more. No, there ' s still another one, she exclaimed. Miss Marjorie Columbe to be Music Supervisor of Northern New York Public Schools. Well I declare! Mr. Street always thought that there should be a music supervisor in the region, and at last there is. In looking over the marriage items in the Times at breakfast this morning, Ruth went on, I found Mildred Carter ' s name mentioned. After modeling in a smart dress shop in New York for several months, Milly decided that it was about time that she ' d adopt the title Mrs. Christina Reed was listed, too. She always was sweet on Joe. In the list of births, I saw where a big baby girl has stolen into the home of Ruth Huggins. Didn ' t we always know that Ruth ' s husband would prove a greater attraction than teaching? « 1 04  By the way. ' Marj was speaking again. I had a letter from Bernice King yesterday saying that she has another novel nearly ready for publication. She wouldn ' t tell me the title of it; she wants us to be surprised when the book comes out. Jerry and Ruth seemed very happy for Bernie. And who wouldn ' t be? Bernie seemed to be outdoing the other author by the name of King, who was from Champlain. too. Then Ruth spoke. Have you seen Eleanor Morrison ' s newest novel? I ' ve just been reading it. It ' s called The Game of Life. ' I believe that it is more truth than fiction: it sounds just like Eleanor when we knew her at Normal. It ' s just splendid! I could just imagine what that book was like. Who could know better than I the things which Lea was thinking when she seemed so far away from her surroundings? Another scene greeted my eyes. This time it was a baseball field. An an- nouncer was telling the great crowd present that this big league game of the Women ' s Baseball Association would begin immediately. I saw the line-up of one of the teams. Here were some familiar faces: Evelyn Bennett. Anna Fogg, Ruth Sargeant. Grace Martin. Emogene Miller, Agnes Finnegan. Eliza- beth Carey, and. to be sure, there was Eleanor Grogan. the captain of the team. Yes, these girls were all wrapped up in sports when they were in Normal School. Here were some of the members of the Senior Seven Volley Ball team. I won- dered where Madeline Nichols and Laura Taylor were. My query was immediately answered. In some grand theater I found Madeline leading a group of dancing girls. Alice Foote was there, too. I recalled Madeline and Al were unusually graceful dancers when we went to school together. Laura was at Cornell directing women ' s athletics. I could see two reasons for Laura ' s being there. She always was the athletic type for one thing, and for the other, she had a fond connection with Cornell University even when she was in Normal School. His name was Leonard. A schoolroom was pictured next on the screen. Frances Hanlon was talking to the large number of pupils in her class. She had a book in her hand as she said, This is our new history textbook, children. It was written by an old classmate of mine. Helen Carpenter. As Frances displayed the book with Helen ' s name upon it, I recalled Helen ' s great interest in history. Just then two other teachers burst into the room. One was Janet Sprague. the other, Bernice Beardsley. Miss Hanlon. I want you to see what our principal, Miss Downs, just brought to me. It ' s a book of poems by Mildred Wilbur. She wrote our class poem back in ' 33 you know. As Fran eagerly reached for the book. I thought how fitting it was that Jennie Downs was a high school principal. She was always very quiet and studious. I remembered also the poetic ability which Mildred Wilbur possessed. The first evidence of it was that poem inspired by Lamb ' s Dissertation on Roast Pig. Mildred had certainly learned from some place or other that the way to a man ' s heart is through his stomach. As the classroom vanished a beautiful domestic scene was presented. Hustling about a bright, sunny kitchen was Marjorie Rice, as fresh and lovely as ever in her neat, white, frilly apron. In a high chair, playing happily and talking to himself sat a beautiful baby boy. I heard a door open and close. Marj hurriedly dashed a bit of powder on her nose and hastened to the room from whence the noise came. The scene changed before I could see the person who came in but I heard his voice and I knew it was Marj ' s Sargeant. As I was wondering whether anything could be happier than a home life such as Marj ' s. I looked up to see a whirl of action. It was Coney Island with « 105  all its excitement. Gracious! I thought who can this be? I perceived most distinctly the section of the children ' s amusements, and I did find another member of the class of ' 33. For there was Charlie Keedle, his face beaming with enjoyment as he helped kiddies on the various delights. Charlie was always trying to amuse someone and. being the only male member of our class, he had plenty of opportunity. Wouldn ' t you like some dinner now. Bertha? I heard a voice which sounded far away. Bertha! Bertha! Wake up! It ' s 6.30 now and didn ' t I hear you say you had an engagement for this evening? You ' re right, Mother, I murmured sleepily. Yes, of course! Urgil is coming for me at 7.30. Now why wasn ' t he in that picture? Bertha Jacques. CLASS GIFT In accordance with an established custom, each graduating class of the Plattsburg State Normal School leaves a gift to perpetuate its memory. With the burning of the old Normal School many valued and cherished articles of artistic worth and beauty were lost. It is the desire of the class of 1933 to replace this year one of the choice pieces of statuary that was destroyed. We hope, by so doing, that we may establish a precedent whereby many valu- ables of the old building may be restored. May our gift be an inspiration and an encouragement. Dr. Hawkins, it is with great pleasure that we. the class of 1933. present this statue, The Appeal to the Great Spirit. by Cyrus Dallin. to the Platts- burg State Normal School. Frances Fayette. IVY ADDRESS For the past three years we have been looking forward to this day. Even in the face of the present economic depression and the possibility of not securing positions, we are glad that we have accomplished one of our goals — that of graduation from the Plattsburg State Normal School. Wishing for you, whom we are leaving behind, the best of happiness and success, we leave this ivy, hoping that you. and we too. may establish ourselves firmly and productively in our chosen field of service as this living, growing plant roots itself in the soil. In the revival of this ceremony, which has not been possible since the burn- ing of the old school four years ago, may we gain new hope, courage, and inspiration for the work that lies ahead. Aurilla Weir. « 106  CLASS POEM WHY DID WE COME? Why did we come? We young folks fired with youth. Knocking at Wisdom ' s gate, seeking for Truth: Why did we turn, oh Normal, to thy door? The world invites, with many a gem and ore. Young hands and feet who would its paths explore. Why did we come? Why did we come? We might have searched for gold. Whose shining substance we could grasp and hold: We might have, but we ' ve come to realize That we have found by far a greater prize: We see it shining through the children ' s eyes. And so we came. Why did we come? We might have searched for fame. On stone or iron or brass engraved our name, But no, we saw the yearning hearts of youth — Rough potter ' s clay, unworked, unshaped, uncouth. Just waiting for the hands to stamp the truth — And so we came. We now go forth Child hearts to love, to win. In happy paths of life to guide them in — But, ere we go, with grateful hearts we lay A wreath of loving thoughts on thee, and say That in our mem ' ry you will live for aye, Dear Normal School! Mildred Wilbur. « 107  CLASS ORATION 1 D TO THE HEIGHTS When we went forth from high school three years ago with happy, care- free attitudes, we thought the world was at our feet. With twelve years of school life behind us we thought it high time for the world to accept us, provide a place for us, and take care of us. For us, our troubles were over: our ambi- tions fulfilled: our ideals attained. Little did we realize at the moment that being graduated from one era of work and training was but the commencement of another: that reaching the foothills of our graduation day was but a vantage point from which we could see further up the heights. Even during vacation our care- free attitudes sobered: new ideals began to take shape: ambitions for new conquests appeared: doubts and fears and ques- tioning again possessed us as we lifted our eyes and tuned our hearts to higher possibilities, scarcely thought of before. Almost before we were aware we found ourselves in the midst of another climb, another period of training, another era of cultivation, a garden in fact, where these new hopes, yearnings and ambitions could bud. blossom and bear fruit in honorable service in the art of arts — teaching. Three years have quickly sped, and thus we come again to the heights of that period of climbing. We shall soon be given the right by the State of New York to enter our chosen professional field, and whilst we feel a certain glow of justifiable pride in having thus reached the heights up which we were slowly and sometimes painfully struggling, we are no longer carefree and gay and content as we were three short years ago. We are too close to the stern realities of life work. Almost in the realizing of our cherished hopes and aims have new ideals, new ambitions, new fears seized us. Many of us lack the confidence to begin our great work of service: we seem to know so little. Many, since no place has yet been found for our skill and ability, feel that the future looks hostile and foreboding. Perhaps there is not financial means sufficient for us to do the thing that lies closest to our hearts. Perhaps, nay of a certainty, we experience a pang of loneliness as we contem- plate leaving our classmates. So we stand on this day with eyes that still con- template the heights, but our souls are trembling and afraid of what lies along the way. My classmates, these are but hazards which must be o ' erleaped as in every race, for life is a race — a race for happiness. And what is a race without a hazard, a danger, a possibility of failure? Shakespeare has said, . .. these are counsellors that feelingly persuade me what I am. Sweet are the uses of adversity. And William Paley says. Happiness does not consist of greatness in a material sense, rank, or position or pleasure. What happiness does con- sist of is health, good habits, and the pursuit of some engaging end. Keep « 108  these within your reach and the material necessities are bound to come. II obstacles are encountered, as they are bound to be, we must go through, under, over or around. If they prove unyielding we must not give up but turn our energies and abilities in another direction, as so many have done before. Think of Helen Keller and her dark hours! Yet she rose to the heights in her own individual way. Consider Steinmetz and his organic deformity. Yet he made a courageous adjustment to life and rose to unsurpassed heights in electrical research. Remember Dr. Trudeau of our own north country, who refused to let tuberculosis interfere with his work, but used his own sickness as a means of achievement and accomplishment. These examples should inspire us and cheer our dark hours. My plea to you, my classmates, is to keep the star of a high and purposeful ideal ever before us and to cultivate in ourselves that same vision which Long- fellow gives to the youth in his poem, Excelsior. We may and should get much more out of our struggle than did this youth who perished in his efforts. The shades of night were falling fast. As through an Alpine village passed. A youth, who bore mid snow and ice. A banner with the strange device. Excelsior ! Try not the pass! the old man said. Dark lowers the tempest overhead. The roaring torrent is deep and wide! And loud that clarion voice replied Excelsior! Oh stay, the maiden said, and rest Thy weary head upon this breast. A tear stood in his bright blue eye But still he answered with a sigh. Excelsior! Beware the pine-tree ' s withered branch! Beware the awful avalanche! This was the peasant ' s last good-night A voice replied, far up the height. Excelsior! Not that I believe in sacrificing friendship, wise counsel, love and play, for these are essential to the normal fulfillment of one ' s part in the race of life. But the vision that impelled the youth upward and onward despite all enticements and temptations to turn aside or back is the essence of all worthy service and achievement. We may perish in our efforts as did the youth: we may fail to reach the heights envisioned, but by the very persistence of our climbing and the way we do it will we honor and adorn the noble profession we have chosen: achieve self-respect and happiness: act well our parts in service to mankind. Eleanor Morrison. « 109  THE CHARGE TO THE JUNIORS It is indeed a sorry task that has been given us. How can we, the seniors, grown wise only through years of hard-earned experience, hope to offer any- thing but puerile criticisms and advice to you, O juniors, who sprang into existence with wisdom such as would compare favorably with that of Solomon. Let us, rather, list your virtues that they may be signposts to any among us who are wont to travel the Road to Ruin. Most of all, we stand in awe of the professional spirit that you have shown. We cannot point an accusing finger at one among you who entered these halls of higher learning because I couldn ' t go to college and I had to do something. You have put behind forever the thoughts of material gains and have ever kept before you an IDEAL — to devote your entire lives to educa- tion — never to want the things that money can buy, clothes, cars, travel, luxu- ries: never to marry. So closely are your lives interwoven with your chosen profession that there are those who fear that you have no outside interests. In the temple of Wisdom which we have raised to you there is another pillar called Open-mindedness. We raise a hymn of praise to you who cannot be swayed by mere eloquence, who base decisions upon facts, not upon personal gratifica- tions, superstitions, or gossip; who are never too quick to grasp a new idea; never too slow to relinquish the old. You blush at such fervent praise, and that brings to mind another virtue to be lauded, the absence of that so human element, conceit. How unassuming and modest are the truly cultured, for that egotistical word I has been removed from their vocabularies. So we might continue indefinitely enumerat- ing your virtues but we defer to your modesty. Just this parting reminder which your keen intellects will not fail to appreciate: Recently there came to our attention a Latin phrase which we will not presume to translate accurately. Its meaning is this. Beware the Greeks bearing gifts. Mildred Carter. « I 10  I REPLY TO THE SENIOR CHARGE Seniors: Placing you upon a pedestal of scorn is far from our intentions. Rather we compliment you on possessing such an exceptionally high degree of courage and audacity as was shown by your attempt to ridicule a class which has proven its superiority to you in every quality. Being broadminded and realizing your many weaknesses we forgive you, for. after all, the manner employed to appease the feeble-minded is allowing them to think themselves superior to all others. That you are an irresponsible, egoistic and self-centered group of indi- viduals seems unnecessary to state, for this distinction you have attained during your three years ' cruise through Plattsburg State Normal School. Cruise seems to be the ideal word, for it expresses the aimless and shiftless manner that has characterized your activities during the past three years. You have tried to follow a too high and mighty course for a class possessing so little talent, ambition and ability. As individuals you assumed a very indif- ferent and independent attitude, both in classes and towards the other members of the institution. You developed a feeling of superiority and strutted around with the apparent notion that God made the world, but He asked you how to do it. Why this superiority developed is unanswerable. Surely it was not because of your achievements, since you have as yet to achieve something of importance. Apologies should be given when you are termed as a class, for terming you a class is much like calling a stubborn mule a racing steed. Yes, in some respects you are a class, but from the viewpoint of organization, coop- eration and sincerity — the factors necessary in a smooth-functioning unit — you have failed miserably. Your several attempts at holding class meetings have resembled a free-for-all fight. You all wanted your ideas accepted; if they were accepted you were willing to cooperate, but if the opinion of the others was adverse to you. you pouted like the little children you appear to be. Thus far you have shown little promise of success, but, as modern slang might express it, get wise to yourselves, seniors. It is not too late to change your ways. Experience is a wonderful teacher. Do not brood over your mistakes: profit by them for after all even the bright are not without mistakes. You are about to enter the game of life and only as a rookie so to speak. There are many competing in this long, strenuous game filled with trials, adver- sities and disappointments. Those with ambition and initiative coupled with determination and foresight usually succeed in gaining a position of prominence, but those who are content to wrangle over mere technicalities, such has marked your course, remain in obscurity. Robert Burns is admired because of his ability to take any simple thing in life and by his inspiring nature elevate it to the highest degree of poetry. Why not follow this wonderful example? Take some simple thing in life, yourself for instance, and, with the impressive record of the junior class as an inspiration elevate yourself to a higher level of both thought and deed. Frankly, seniors, we are greatly interested in your future growth and de- velopment. We earnestly desire that your deeds from this day forth shall be worthy additions to the Plattsburg Roll of Honor. We know that beautiful flowers often grow from very straggly and unpromising sprouts. So may it be with you. Amos Moussaw. « i i i  MANTLE ORATION It has been the custom for the past few years for the senior class to relin- quish to the junior class this mantle. In this cloak one may find loyalty, unselfishness, and a real friendship, which has sprung up in our class this year, as well as in classes before us. No one can realize with what feeling we, the class of 1933, give up this mantle today, denoting that we are now to drift apart. Although this mantle is merely a piece of cloth, it has woven in its folds many volumes of good wishes, happiness and luck for the next class to enjoy. As you take this mantle, you are accepting all of the burdens and obliga- tions of a senior class. However, we know that you will be as successful as we have been, because you have shown splendid cooperation and good fellow- ship to us during the last two years and have contributed a great deal to our success. We know that these splendid characteristics which you possess will make you worthy, and we feel secure in the fact that you have the highest ideals and aspirations for the success of your class and the success of the Plattsburg State Normal School. So, now, my dear friends, we place upon the shoulders of the class of 1934 this mantle which carries with it every good wish for the future. Margaret Coopy. « I 12  REPLY TO THE MANTLE ORATION In accepting this mantle, the emblem of seniority, the class of 1934 is not unmindful of the responsibilities, privileges, and honors which attach to the wearers of this traditional garb. We are reminded that from this day forth we are no longer juniors, but seniors, about to take up all the duties and dis- tinctive activities which are the rightful heritage of every senior class. From your hands we have received this mantle. From your hands also have we received the challenge to wear it with distinction and honor. We accept the challenge and face the future with modest confidence but high hope. That we regret to part with you. seniors of 1933, is natural. In two years of daily contact, attachments have been formed, associations experienced, which we are loathe to relinquish. However, it is not my particular duty to express those regrets; rather to dedicate the class of 1934 to the obligations which you. in parting, have laid upon us. To lay this mantle on the shoulders of our successors and to relinquish the leadership just bestowed upon us. with the com- plete satisfaction that comes from a trust well discharged, will be our highest aim.

It was almost like a friendly hand covering her own. New York was nice after years of California. Peggy was nice to have asked her on this jolly trip to visit her clever sister in New York. Her door opened a crack and Peg Bryant ' s golden head appeared. Sis and I are thinking of taking in a play this afternoon, Sally dear. You ' ll join the happy throng? Not this afternoon. Peg, Sally decided: then, catching a mocking light in her friend ' s eyes, she hastened to defend herself. It ' s a long trip from California to New York. Tomorrow I ' ll go anywhere you like if you let me rest and poke around by myself today. All right, Sally-o. Peg agreed as sister Maria ' s black head appeared beside hers. You shall have a whole afternoon to yourself. An afternoon to forget. Twelve years you ' ve mourned for Bun. I know it was awful but you ' re spoil- ing your life — you ' ll have to go on living without him. Tell Bunny good-bye today an d from then on we ' ll have our vacation. Is it a bargain? A swift, wistful smile lighted Sally ' s face. It ' s a bargain. Today to forget — tomorrow a new start without Bun. Until tomorrow then. Who ' s Bun? asked Maria as they walked down Broadway. And for heaven ' s sakes, what happened to him, Peggy? If I ever knew I ' ve forgotten. Bunny was her baby. The sweetest, dearest baby in the world, Sis. Her husband is the best ever, too. Twelve years ago she was visiting somewhere and Bun was home with his nurse and grandmother. He was two then. In the afternoon they telephoned Sally that Bunny was gone — kidnapped or lost or killed somehow. No one has ever heard a word about him since. It almost killed Sally but she can ' t go on this way forever. Her husband and her two little daughters need her. Bunny wasn ' t all of the world. Things like that are hard to get over. Peg. We must try to make this visit a happy one for her. Sally Blaine decided to go into the park to do her forgetting. From one of the benches she watched the squirrels scampering about. Her restless grey « 1 16 r eyes under their arched dark brows were dreamy. An afternoon to forget. Could she forget a golden skinned, curly headed, grey eyed son as quickly as that? Fourteen — Bun would be old enough to be wearing long trousers if — and it was here she was interrupted. The interruption came in the form of an incredibly dirty, slouchy and unprepossessing looking boy. Y ' wouldn ' t gimme a dime, wouldja. lady? Sally Blaine jumped and stared at him. ' ' I ' ll give you a dollar to talk with me for a time. How about it? Sure. accepted the boy cheerfully. How old are you? O. ' bout fourteen, I guess. I had a little son as old as that. too. He ' d be larger than you though. I think. Sally looked at the boy closely. His hair was a mop of very dirty reddish brown curls. A scar across his cheek running down to the corner of his mouth gave his face a perpetual sneer. His nose was an affair of uncertain shape. Only his eyes and forehead were good. Wistful boyish eyes as gray as the ocean on a stormy day. Those grey eyes under straight dark brows somehow didn ' t belong to the rest of him. What ' s your name, boy? Sally demanded suddenly. His crooked grin lighted up his face, OF Mamie Sandos calls me ' Th ' Kid. ' Y ' see I dunno who my folks was. Ole Mamie lets me live with her. I ' m Iuckier ' n some o ' the kids — havin ' no folks to beat me up. My little boy ' s name was Bunny — or I called him that. He was stolen when he was just a baby. I ' ve lived just hoping I ' d find him someday. I could tell him you know if I saw him. His hair was so gold and curly you know, and his little nose was so straight. He had nice eyes, too: they were grey like yours. Th ' Kid twisted his heel into the grass and scowled in sympathy. Gosh, lady. I ' m sorry. Y ' wouldn ' t know ' im as easy as you think, though. Babies don ' t look the same after they grow up. I was lots prettier fore Red McGuire caved my nose in. Sally laughed. Shall I ever find my baby, do you think, boy? I don ' t b ' lieve so, lady. He ' d be growed up. too. He wouldn ' t be the baby you lost even if you could find him. But, boy, he may need me — need a mother — need money — he ' ll need me to take care of him. I would grow accustomed to his being gone forever if I could only be sure he didn ' t need me. Kids ain ' t never left without nobody. Somebody ' ll look after yours. Look at me. Ole Mamie ain ' t so good mabbe, but she looked after me. You help some boy without nobody an ' somebody ' ll help yours. Sally ' s grey eyes questioned this philosophy a moment, then they lighted with a new hope, new purpose. Boy, is there a dream in your heart? A « 1 17  V (Q) dream about what you ' d like to do or be? Would you mind sharing it with Th - Kid thought a time, then, You mean — a dream — about what I ' d like? I ' d like folks — folks of my own. y ' know — even if they wasn ' t very good I ' d like ' em — ' n ' some of them pants the boys wear with suspenders. That what y ' mean, lady? And ' bout a million things more. Boy, would you mind terribly. leaving the woman you live with? If I ' d make every dream I possibly could come true, would you — I don ' t know how to say it. boy — but if I ' d do for you just what I hope someone is doing for Bun would you be willing to live with me? The boy ' s grey eyes widened. Live with you? Lady, you don ' t mean it. There ain ' t no folks in the world ' at could be nicer ' n ' you. And sud- denly Sally was besieged with eager boyish questions — questions about Cali- fornia, about her husband, about her two little daughters. Come, she laughed finally, if I have adopted a son he must of course have some of the latest trousers with suspenders and it takes time to buy them. Bunny ' s real name was David — that shall be your name now — David Blaine. Th ' Kid nodded silently. Events were moving too quickly for speech. At the apartment Sally ran the water for his bath. I ' ll run downtown and get you some things while you ' re bathing, she decided. And when I get back I ' ll wash your hair. I never washed a boy ' s hair before — it ' s going Th ' Kid chuckled. I never had it washed by a lady before, either. When Sally returned she could hear him in the bathroom humming cheer- fully. She knocked and tucked the new things in through the door as he opened it a crack. When he had dressed, Sally attacked his hair and scrubbed it until the curls shone red gold in the light. Beautiful hair it was with a friendly enticing way of clinging about her fingers. Sally ordered dinner in her rooms. Th ' Kid, looking very well-scrubbed and happy, shook himself out of his slouch. The new clothes ain ' t so bad on me, are they? he demanded, standing very tall to show them off to their best advantage. Sally smiled her approval and lifted her coffee cup. Here ' s a toast. she said. A toast to my new son. God take care of Baby Bun and make him as happy as I ' ll try to make some other boy; give him somebody to love him and care for him wherever he is. Here ' s health and happiness to you — son David. Across the table the boy ' s crooked mouth and wistful eyes smiled back at her. You ' re very tired, aren ' t you, David? Sally thought to ask after they had talked for a time. This is the apartment of a sister of a friend of mine. They ' re both sure to ask a million questions. Suppose we get you off to bed me? I i 8  before they come. You may have my room and I ' ll sleep with Peggy. All right, son. ' The boy nodded. His smile was troubled but he followed her silently. There. Sally opened the bed and unwrapped the pajamas she had bought. You undress and hop into bed and 1 11 come in. in a little while, to open the window and say good-night. When she returned the boy lay very straight and still on the bed. Sally sat down on the edge and smiled at him. He swallowed and turned his head away. Are you sure — sure — you ' re taking me because you want me? Are you sure you ain ' t sorry I ' m here? Sally ' s hand touched his hair timidly. It clung and curled about her fingers. She bent to kiss him just once to tell him she was glad, not sorry he was there. As she bent over him he reached eager arms about her neck. Sally ' s arms were about him. murmuring over him. his head against the softness of her breast. Boy, David, do you really want me for your mother? Sally ' s voice quivered. Oh, my dear — I love you so — my little son — I need you so — you will be my son — to love — to look after — to do things for. The boy ' s arms tightened. They were asking for her love, assuring her of his; then she felt his boyish kiss on her lips. After a moment she rose, opened the window and snapped off the light. At the door she paused. Happy, son David? So happy, little new mother. Goodnight. And the gods in paradise laughed. Th ' Kid had found his dream. Sally Blaine had said they must be either asleep or out to lunch when they didn ' t see and stop the one who stole Baby Bunny. Well they had given her a son. And they had given, although she would never know it. her own Bunny back to her. Again they laughed.

Four years have passed since then. We have missed this group during the past year. As students they were ambitious, industrious, and willing to try their best; as companions they were friendly and courteous: as classmates, always ready to lend a hand to those who had not attained as high a degree of seniority as they. We have proof of the fact that their courage is indomitable. Many of them did not receive positions, but they did not sit back and let others do things for them. They have gone ahead making new plans. You ask for proof? Their student leader for their three years in this institution has shown in the brief time since his graduation a marked upward trend in educational lines and this year is to receive his degree at the University of iMaine. Others, too, have studied in new places and. perhaps, in new fields. As for those who are already in their chosen profession of training and service, we are certain the coming generation will be better for its contact with these enthusiastic teachers. Whether in rural schools, or in graded schools, whether they have much or little with which to work, each of them is doing a creditable and noteworthy work. Their motto inspired them — yes. but there were other inspirations. The splendid faculty with which they came in contact during the years in Normal was a constant source of help and guidance. We give credit where we honestly feel that it is due. Our idea has always been that a large reason for their cooperation and their steady working toward a higher goal was the ever- watching guidance of him whom they chose as their class adviser. « 124  Seventeenth Edition ALUMNI NEWS Published Annually PLATTSBURG STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, PLATTSBURG, N.

What a perfect day! Blue sky, warm sunlight! For the first time since the dark ages a picnic had been planned on a day when it did not rain. With such a beginning one might say that it was an easy matter to predict that we should have a good time. But it would not be easy to predict such a good time as the members of the Summer School of 1932 had that beautiful afternoon when they packed provisions and camp uten- sils into their cars and sought the shady coolness of Cooper ' s Falls! While fires were being made and coffee was being prepared, there were a few brave and adventuresome young women who removed shoes and stockings and went wading in the toy rapids above the pond. No casualties were re- ported. Other more dignified souls were amused with less dangerous games, gossipy relays, running relays, and basketball relays. It was not long before food became the common topic of conversation. Main dish, — roasted weiners and rolls, accompanied by delicious coffee, and enough to appease the appetite of the most ravenous. All records of previous Summer School picnics were broken if a certain rumor is based upon fact. The rumor has it that one well- known alumni member consumed seven hot dogs. All too soon it was time to trek back to town, a trifle begrimed but a great deal pleased. Mildred Carter. « 129  q D IF THEY HAD A MILLION? Seniors — Wouldn ' t worry about a job for next year.
