It is With pleasure, and yet with a feeling of sadness and regret that we leave this dear old Normal. For now, as we reach the goal of our. ambition we are loathe to say good-bye to the friends we have made in school. Miss Rowell, our class teacher, will be missed by all, for this energetic friend and counsellor has helped us in our dif- ficulties and also planned many good times for us. One class is not enough for her to take care of but she takes an active interest in our student body ac- tivities as well. A number of our classmates are wor- thy of praise for the interest they have taken in school affairs. Among this number is our only boy, llJimmiel, Kirby. And the good times we have had at Normal! We shall always remember with pleasure the Valentine party given us by Miss .Payne,s class, the Jr. C2ls. Then we gave the Juniors 3 llweeniel' fE'cSaZ?A1ii$Rock. We got all Hstuck up , at our candy-pull in Society Hall; but it only lasted for a day.

The next term. brought one of our greatest successes, in the form of a home cooked and served chicken dinner. The unique Valentine decorations con- sisted of a multitude of hearts and cue pids. Under the next president, we had a very original and different picnic at Alum Rock, all enjoying the beautiful spring day and the heats? The flrst term of our Senior year we entertained the Jr. A3's at a picnic out on the lawn. V During the second term, Society Hall was a pretty scene in honor of St. Val- entine. The party was in the form of a dance. The last and most eventful term was mostly taken up by Senior activities. However, we had several lawn luncheon parties to show our class spirit.

We couldn't resist the spring, so Alum Rock saw us on a hike to the Falls, and another time at a itweenieh feed. In May we had a tiMovie Party? and then we gave ourselves. up to the busy task of being graduated. This was in- deed the grand fmale of our career.

As Ju- niors we were made welcome by the Senior A7 Class.

Can you Go-esstii What this tale is an about? One morning our Knob-el Arthur started on a journey to- Bulger. As he passed along a Holloway, he saw a Hock of Martens trying to see Which was the earliest bird to- catch the VVr'igley worm. At the foot of a steep Hill he stopped to converse with the Forrester of Hest- wood. ttAm I on the Wright road to Bul- ger ?,i he asked. Being assured that he was, he traveled on. At noon he stopped to eat in a cave near the waterts edge. A short distance away the surf boomed a melancholy tune. While eating his frugal rep-ast, he choked on a fishbone. ttVVycoffV said a fretful voice from Arthur turned quickly. There before him he the inner recesses of the cave. beheld the gloomy Visage of Proctor, the swarthy Seman. ttCTBrien and salt fishes! you doing here P' Arthur asked. What are The Seman did not answer, but walked with a Gverky motion to the waters edge. Stepping into an old skiff, he asked Arthur to un-Tigh the moorings. Pushe ing off from the shore, he growled, HMy Liveratto tell you what Fm doing here! P'ff? He then disappeared beyond the waves. ' At the edge of the town Arthur met an old woman. Sheehy-ved a sigh, and asked him. if he knew Where a Crutch- He told her this field lay She held existed. two miles south of Hestwood. passed on limping painfully. Arthur entered the town of Bulger. And What was his mission? Lend me your ears? He was going to Visit Tannlund, his T aylor, Who lived at the Townsend. 45 $211M? 8E4 JUNIOR YEAR. President .................

There were eighteen in this class, who, together With the ten Seniors, composed the Kindergarten class. At present there are forty in the class, nineteen of whom will be grad- uated in June. There has been a new teacher added to the Kindergarten Department. This position was hlled by Miss Frances White until Christmas, and since then Miss Anna Strong has been with us. Both claim Columbia University as their Alma Mater. The department had the privilege of being under the instruction of Miss Caroline Crawford, of Columbia Uni- versity, and considered the foremost auhtority on the evolution and develop- ment of dramatic art, for one week. It was surely enjoyed by everyone. The year began socially, September 29, with a picnic to Alum Rock, a gath- ering of the old girls and a welcome to the new ones. Swimming, hiking and impromptu stunts were indulged in. A supper spread by the Seniors included roasted tszeeniesii and coffee. Miss MacKenzie was hostess to the kindergarteners in November at her de- 52 $mtinr Kinhprgartm lightful home on the Alameda. The af- fair was in the nature of a farewell to the three December graduates, Irene Cuneo, Ruth Everding, and Delma Phelps. An impromptu perfo-mance was given by the graduates, applying to the school board for positions. The Kindergarten Department was surprised and pleased to receive as a Christmas gift a framed photograph of Kate Droughlas Wiggin. January twenty-sixth, an informal re ception was given in honor of Miss Strong. It was a novel entertainment. Only children between the ages of four and six were admitted. F aculty members present were: Mr. and Mrs. Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Spaulding, Miss McCabe, Miss Quill, Miss Post, Miss Bassler, Miss Whitmire. February first, a pathetic appeal was made by the kindergarten babies. T'hc slogan was bFrom the babies of San Jose to the babies of Poland? There were sixty little crusaders with Miss MacKenzie, Miss Rueb-sam and the stu- dent teachers of the department. March twenty-second, a farewell party was given in honor of Marian Quinlan, who was graduated in March. The kindergarten room was the scene of much me-rriment. The last affair was a luncheon at the Vendome, for the purpose of a reunion of the girls who have been graduated and those who are to be graduated; It is hoped that this may be made an an- nual affair. The first part of the spring term. was saddened by Miss MacKenzieis illness. She was missed more than can be stated by words, by both the class and the children. During her absence Miss jxeubsam filled her place both in the kindergarten ,and as class teacher. x i I i l 1 i 4 iii 53 .. Director, Miss Maude I. Murchie, B. S. Associates. Miss Hlelen L.

The course is a thoroughly practical one, practical for teachers, and absolutely usable for women that are not teachers. The keynote of every days work is prac- tieal efficiency. Not only do we learn to use patterns, but we learn how to adapt them to lit the needs of the individual. Moreover, we do not learn mere recipes; we get fundamental principles s0 that, entirely divorced from a certain recipe, we could still prepare wholesome, tasteful dishes. Through all the course fundamental standards, not isolated, disjointed ideas, are employed. No wonder that our department has grown so rapidly because of the prac- ticalness of it. 57Pninr 75111152111112! Aria When all Miss ll'lurehiels hopes were realized, and all seemed bright and the outlook for the future most encourag- ing, calamity overtook the department in the fire which, on March twenty- fourth, destroyed the cottages, with much of the equipment, so slowly ac- cumulated. The library was saved, how- ever, to form the nucleus for a new de- partment. Thru the kindness of the San. Jose High School, and the quick action of the State Board, the department work was carried on With little inconvenience this This year's Household Arts graduates regret very much that they will not be here next year to enjoy the beautiful new quarters of the department. A house has been secured on South Fifth Street, near the Normal Square. It is to be remodeled, to fit the needs of the department. The upper Iloor is to con- tain the office, three rooms, cooking laboratory, dining room, and li- brary. The basement Will contain the cloak room and laundry. This house is large, roomy, light and cheerful, and well adapted to the needs of the. department, as it resembles a home. This home will bring the girls and faculty more Closely together, and many problems will arise here which will be solved and will prepare the girls for their future work. 91TH. sewing 5 P D .a $em'ur $5 MISS BRADLEY, Class Teacher. Many and varied have been the so- cial activities of the Senior B class dur- ing the past year, making it one of pleasant memories for all its members. Soon after the fall term had begun, a basket luncheon was held on the cam- pus. In the early part of N ovember South Society Hall was very daintily decorated by the girls of the class for an informal dinner party, at which Miss Bradley, our class teacher, and Miss Rowe-ll were the guests. Very pretty place-cards, hand- painted in the late autumn shades, were at each place, and a splendid course din- ner was served. Shortly after school had opened for the Winter term, the Junior Ats were entertained by the Senior A's at a luncheon in Society Hiall. Miss Crooks, class president, presided as hostess and was ably assisted by a committee of the girls of the class. After the spread, a few moments were spent in a. happy sou Cial chat and in getting better acquaint- ed With our guests. Everyone voted the affair a huge success and hoped that the 56 n 1 Senior A,s and their wards, the junior Ais, might enjoy several more such OC- 1 casions together, ere our days at Nor- mal are ended. Just after the opening of the spring term a number of the girls of the class, accompanied by Miss Bradley, journeyed out to the beautiful country home of Alta Sims, one of our members, where we spent the evening. Each girl had brought material with her, and, While chatting pleasantly, several very useful articles were made for the Belgian Re- lief Fund. Later in the evening, dainty refreshments were served. On Saturday, April 22nd, we alln boarded an early morning car for Alum Rock, where a most enjoyable day was spent. In the afternoon ; we went for a splash in the plunge, which was greatly enjoyed after our strenuous hiking. Miss Bradley and Mr. Bland accompanied us on our little trip. several pleasant times have been planned for this present semester, and the members of the class hope to have- emphasized the fleeting days of this term with several more happy gather- ings. $eniur Q33 MISS BEAL, Class Teacher.

The March class of 1916, although not great in numbers, furnished another il- lustration of ttmultum in parvo. There was not a member in it who did not leave an impress on the school--even the two tiniest members. Miss Dew and Miss Claes Will be long remembered. The majority of the class came directly from the San Jose High School, and 'that fact was a passport to the good graces of their class teacher. The others in the class managed, however, to win her favor, too, by their exceptional abil- ity. Perhaps nowhere were all their act- comp-lishments displayed to greter ad vantage than at the lunches and parties that they gave. Miss Haven and Miss Dew were hostesses in their homes for delightful class affairs. The interchange of luncheons between Miss Beal's class and the class of March, '16, furnished many happy and jolly occasions for get- ting well acquainted; and when Miss Bealis class graduated, the March, ,16, class took great pleasure in transform- ing the platform in the Assembly Hall into a bower of beauty with fruit blos- soms. Many individual members distin- guished themselves school activ- ities. Miss Myrtle Jackson was an ef- 53 in ncient tennis manager and worked ham to bring fame to the Normal. She will be pleasantly remembered as the charm- ing ttAgnes'i in the play from t'D-avmi LTopperheldf' and as the dauntless ttMiss Fearless , in the Dramatic Club play. Miss Belcher and Miss Chesnutt were always in demand When music was wanted, and took part in HThe Hiawa- tha Cantataf, as did also Miss haven. Miss Inez Reid was the benior Class president, and her ardent class spirit will long linger in thememory of her mates. Miss Reichman was intensely in- terested in dramatics, and was connect- ed with the players club in town. Miss Chesnutt served on the Y. W C. A. Cabinet and was one of the best loved girls in that circle. We regret that space does not permit the mentioning of the talents of each member of this exceptional class. But the last word must be reserved for Mr. Darrel Sedg- wick, the one man in the class, who is so well known for his remarkable suc- cess with the Training School Orchestra that his work speaks in clearer tones than any praise we could give him. He served the class as treasurer and was the strongman needed for the place. 7113139 $rahuat25, Tetemher, 1915 HENRY MEADE BLAND, Class Teacher. No more earnest and satisfying years have ever been spent by a group of stu- dents in the State Normal School at San Jose than by the young people who graduated in December. And these same young people also managed to form as many beautiful associations as any N or- class ever graduating. This was due partly to the good things that naturallyr came their way, but more to the unusual ability of the class in making a great deal of their environment. This class, in addition to those listed on the page opposite, consisted of Mary Emily Andrews, Elsie Ann Black, Lois Hart, Ruth Edith Hoag, Edna Louise Koester, Emma Greene Krause, Annette M. Mitchell, Alice Irene Palmer, Elsie Marian Prescott, Zella Esther Sp-icer, Ada Fay Wyman, Carrie Ellis, Ruth Everding, Irene R. Cuneo, Delma Elizabeth Phelps. These graduated De- cember 17th of last year. Two occasions of extreme interest during the two-yearsi Normal work were hikes to Starland, the class teach- eris country retreat, which is ten miles northeast of San Jose just across the ridge of the Los Buellis hills. The place sits like the nest of a bird among the foliage of a canyon looking out upon Calaveras valley, which is a Spring Valley lake-site. It is emersed in. the air of romance and beauty. Two other occasions were delightful parties given the class by Miss Kilpatrick at her pleasant home in The Willows and by Miss Alice Casley, who charm.- 60 ingly entertained at her home on N orth I Fourteenth St. Early in 'the fall term last yearthe class was a guest of the Short Story Club at a reading given by the distinguished poet Edwin Markham, who is an alum- nus 0f the San Jose N ormal School. This was held' in Room T wenty-one; well- known about the quad for its literary'as- sociations. The poet talked most inter- eStingly of his art, and read from his volumes: iiThe Joy of the Hills? hThe 'W'indow, Heart's Return? HVirgilis 2A Workman for the Gods'i and others of his productions. On this occasion a large autographed photo of the poet was hung in Room Twenty-one; also, in honor of the class was hung a picture of HDante on First Seeing Beatrice? The crowning occasion growing out of class activities was the playlet bSupw posing It Were Sof arranged by Edna Pennimen, a member of the class. The leading parts were taken by Emily E. Rued, and Robert M. Wilson. Every member of the class had a part in the production; Two class members won distinction in literature during their Normal course, Bertha D-avall. and Clare M. Hodges. Miss Davall won the iirst prize in the Short Story Club contest last year with a story entitled tiComplication and Cook- ies? She also won a first prize with a poem, itThe Campanile? at the Cali- fornia University Summer School. Miss Hodges won a first prize in the Short Story 'C'lub contest with her lines, ttThe Song of the Trail? .282:va FEE Q3583 038650 h93m omcotom .32 hmewwom .64 0.220 .mmeg .m Sim amtsm .4 35m M55938 mmEO .wcSm 3:32 5:03 .hQ .380 .A 3502 63D .2 35m uxthoZ :2 68mm 6.850me 65mm 68E .m mcmdlgom .5304 .Ean mEim $$$$an uchEmO 03502 REHEHOQ amwcszm REFSOQ iumbmasz .m 92m Qomxosm .M bag 0. .meQ kzwgwem 25030 mix .3: .m :th th EEO Janm 65m commm awn? .m H855 Kamzcwm .E 830 A94er ouzarisom vacuum .2855 .2 tompom 6:35 .m GEES doxommOoE vmmmom .3555 .4 32:95 .swaEcvm 4H .3 .mM .5222 SE32 C$8$hzoom 6:35 .3 9.380 .3832! :3? .m 0323.:0 605m .m mem dozaw 5 gm cmBmmU 82qu 359000 N05 Somam Jew mmmmoh dmmm mega: 41ng .m matum Cotoaom Sug .J :womlge Saab HEmE 8 $2 mcmwmom On the morning of March 24, 1916, HThe Shacksh were destroyed by a fire of unknown origin.

O IHII E Prt 3111mm junior QBifiuzrs Mildred McGann Sinniurs The present Junior class really began its career as a class at the Faculty- Senior reception to them last Septem- ber. Here they began to realize what a cordial relation exists between faculty and student body. There began a spirit of friendliness which has continued throughout the year. Since then taking the spirit infused into them that night, the Juniors have been working as a live and vital part of the student body. In looking back over the events of the year, it is seen that in all of them the Juniors have taken a prominent part. Girls' Basketball. First we will look into the ranks of the girls basketball team. By practicing consistently, the Juniors made a good showing, but were defeated by the veteran Senior team. Boys' Basketball. However, full revenge was obtained in the boys, half. It started in with a tlbangh and the Juniors were never :1. danger, unless that of getting dizzy running circles around the poor Seniors. The men of the Junior class that won this Victory are: Clarence Pearce, Harold Jewett, Leland Lancaster, A1- fred Hibbs, Harold Mosher, and Lee Slatore. ' Tracing basketball throughout, we End that on the girls, team that played Chico were Ruby Ernst, Sadie Lang- ford,' Irene Brown and Catherine Boyle. In the boys division were Harold Jew- ett, Grant Luckenmeyer, Alfred Hibbs, Clarence Pearce and Art Dorr. Marie Brown 64 Elizabeth Case Orpha McDougal The editor of the hrst Boysi Edition of the Normal Times was a Junior, Cyril Frost. In the Chico contests Ju- niors headed important committees. Baseball. Another event in which Juniors took an important part was the annual Junior-Senior baseball series. This started with an enthusiastic rally in as- sembly, in which the Juniors showed their ability in yelling. The game was exciting and resulted in a tie. This necessitated playing an extra game. Of course a more enthusiastic rally was held, and ingenuity reigned. But the game came and went, with the Seniors Victorious. However, we have the satis- faction of knowing we played a good game. Juniors are the oenter of the baseball game now, especially Luckens- meyer, Jewett, Lichtenberger and Wau- hab. Tennis. Likewise tennis is represented in the Junior circles. Each night sees Juniors sending the ball over the net, and each night linds Alfred Hibbs and Clarence Pearce driving with terrific speed and recovering wonderfully. These are the two men who have been chosen to rep- resent Normal. and both are Juniors. Naturally we are proud of them. Society. During all this time a reader of this would suppose that all the Juniors did was to work, but this is far from true. Many of our Juniors are members of the schools societies, in which they would naturally be prominent. Then each classroom unit has been having its own ioyous times as the last part of this section will disclose. The class of 17 has come to look upon Normal as its Alma Mater. We have tried to do our best whenever Opportu- nity oltiered. and, by doing well, we will probably go down as one of the most alert classes in the history of Normal. Next year we will continue the work we most ably have begun, with the re- newed Vigor of a Senior class. ttThe time has come when you and I Must take the lead of the throng; May we regard this year gone by As our life-work just begun? THE JUNIOR ORGANIZATION. The Junior Organization may not have been carried on as far as many had hOped, for no contests with other schools could be arranged for this term, but in View of the fact that it was formed so late in the school year it seems that a great deal has been accomplished. The success of the undertaking is greatly due to the co-operation of Miss Rowell, Miss Bassler, Miss VVhitmire. and other fac- ulty members and friends of the organi- zation. The Junior class. as a whole, hopes to have established a nrecedent which will be a great help in furthering the welfare of the school, and if the in- coming Junior classes will realize the value of early organization. we feel that no end of school spirit will prevail. Juniors in Assembly. The Tunior registration classes have taken it upon themselves to keep the assembly hall decorated, and to furnish some kind of an entertainment at least one day during every week. The Jr. C7 class was the first to take up this plan, and one Monday in the last of April they delighted everyone with an extract from Shakespeare's l113i Midsummer Night's Dream? Since that time a dif- ferent class has had charge each week. With very little effort on the part of any individual, some enjoyable programs have been given to the assembly, and no one could help but notice the im- provement Which has been made by the Howers on the stage. Juniors Organize. Early in the spring the Juniors of Normal met and decided to form an or- ganization on entirely new and different lines from any which had been previous- ly formed. The plan, as submitted by Miss Rowell, and adopted by the class, was to promote woments athletics in the school under the direct auspices of the Junior Organization. Nominations were made for officers and the followed girls were elected, who have pro-ven to be' able leaders of the Organization: President Elizabeth Case Vice-President ..... Oroha McDougal Secretary-T'reaxsurer'. .Mlildred McGann Reporter ' .............. Marie Brown The purpose of this plan was to fur- ther an interest in actual school affairs by the Junior girls. It was also Dart of the plan that the difficultv which has been so. plainly manifested in becoming- acquainted would be more easily over- come. and an appreciation for womenk athletics would be stimulated which Would be of great value to both the school and the personal qualities of the girls. Great enthusiasm for womens sports was shown on the afternoon in which the girls met in the new gymnasium to sign 'up for the various squads. N early every girl in the Junior class was pres- ent and some joined as many as two or more squads. Any girl could be a mem- ber of as many different athletic branch- es as she desired, and the number of members who signed up for activities varied to a great degree in the different squads, there being more tennis enthus- iasts than for any other Sport. It appears that Normal girls are a1?- dent baseball fans, as hfty-eight signed up for the game. Sadie Langford and Harriet Muir were chosen as captains, and they have been able to sustain great interest in this sport, for although there are many who have dropped out of the game, a number of girls have continumi practice two or three times a week, and Will probably be in great demand as baseball directors during their rural school teaching. Chest-ball and hiking AT THE JumoseSEMOR BASEBALL GAME YELL LEADER 66 were organized together under the cape tainship of Dorothy eHiensill and Isaline ,uo-ttram. One biaturday in March, thirty-iive girls who had joined the hik- ing squad spent an enjoyable day walk- ing to Evergreen. Tennis, the sport which has proven to be the most popu- lar of all, had sixty-three enthusiasts who chose Ruth Reager and N ellie Neit- zel as captains. Although no formal meets were arranged, an interesting rivalry between the individual club members was felt and great benehts were derived from the practices. Volley- ball, under the direction of Ella Sohn and Marion Pahner,' had thirty-three girls who were greatly interested in the sport, but, after a few practices, it was decided that actual playing could not he participated in this year because of the lack of equipment, but the girls are ill hope of continuing their games in the fall term. The girls who play basket- ball were wise in choosing Sadie Lang- ford and Ruby Ernst to be captains, for these two Junior girls played in our bis.r game with Chico. Practice was carried on three nights a week for several weeks and the interest of many girls has been aroused in basketball. which will un- doubtedly be shown in their Senior year.

As Jr. Alis, we first became acquaint- ed with our big sisters, the Sr. ATS, when they entertained us at a picnic lunch held out on the lawn. When Jr. Alis, our class enjoyed a luncheon in Society Hall with Mr. and Mrs. Wood as guests. The luncheon was all that could b9 desired, and before ieaving, after-dinner speeches were giv- en by Mr. and Mrs. Wood, and by our class teacher, Mr. Mosher. As Jr. Blis, we entertained the Sr. Blis at a Valentine party. The decora- tions of hearts and: bells, appropriate for that day, were hung about the room. Miss Ina Nelson, one of our class members, proved a delightful hostess when she entertained us at her home. we enjoyed several vocal and instru- mental selections by talented members of the class, and charades proved much amusement. t On April 12th, a spelling battle was waged between the Sr. CPS and Jr. Cfs in Society. Hall, as the outcome of a challenge from the former class. Un- he-ard-of words were attempted and failed on, and, sad to say, the Juniors were compelled to admit defeat at the hands of their elder sisters. The losers were put thrcmgh humiliating trials by the victors, but were compensated by bee ing treated to a candy pull which they pulled and ate to their hearts content. 67 JR. 02. During the first month of school a luncheon was held out on the lawn. This luncheon was in the form of a jolly-up and we certainly enjoyed our- selves. Then the Senior A2 class in- vited us to spend an afternoon at Alum Rock. Later on in the term, Miss Payne en- tertainesd the girls at her apartment. A delightful afternoon was spent in story- telling, singing, and dancing. During our second term a V alentine Party was given, and we had as our guests the girls of the Senior B2 class. On May 3, the class president invited us to. a Spanish dinner at her home in the Los Gatos foothills. Thus ends our Junior year. The officers for the terms were as follows: lst Term.

The social life of the Jr. C3 class be- gan the second week of school with a oicnic given to us by the Sr. C'3is, on the campus. During the latter part of October, we entertained the Sr. C3is at a Halloweien party in Society Hall. Many ghosts and witches were scattered about the room- and the guests were told many things about their past and future. About the middle of January, another class event was held. This time it was in the form of a basket luncheon held in Society Hall. A few weeks later, our class dinner was given. None of us will forget the wonderful time we had at Alum Rock on March 17th. For surely our ttweenie roasti' out there was a great success and ev- eryone who attended declared that to ?be the best ever. . i1; $135525 I 1013 Jun JUNIOR C4 CLASS. Here we are!

The guests were Welcomed at the door by a Spirit from the Underworld. On February 14, 1916, a Valentine party was given in honor of the Senior C6is in South Society Hall. The tables were beautifully decorated. 69 JUNIOR 7. Is seven a lucky number? The Junior Sevens think so. VWe first started our Normal career with Edna Demmer, President; Amy Huckaby, Secretary; Marie Hayden, Vice-President, ,and Gertrude O'Keefe, Reporter. During our first term. we were enter- tained by the Senior Sevens, took a hike to Alum Rock and were enters tained at Stanford by 0111 Class teacher, Miss Sours. The next term, Miss Demmer was still our President; Miss Smith, Vice- President; Jeanett Griggs, Secretary. and Myrtle Makin, Reporter.

Through the past two terms we have not spent time on many pleasures, but instead have concentrated our elTo-rts on one big time each term. At our first meeting we elected our officers: Nell Bowen, Marguerite Mid- dleton, Grace Montgomery, Marlon Jones and Marion Harmon. On one Friday afternoon, we were guests of Miss Kinney in South Society Hall. A very enjoyable afternoon was spent at llstuntsf one of the features being to get acquainted; and at the luncheon tables each person was called upon to tell something of where he had obtained his plasts'education. At the close of the afternoon we felt better acquaint- ed and declared ourselves lucky to be members of the Junior 8 class. After our return from the holidays, we chose for our officer's: Marian Har- mon, Gladys Johns, Escaleen Stewart, and Marie Brown. . Shortly after election, we planned a Leap Year Dinner, which proved a huge success. Toastmistress Harmon called upon various members for toasts and the evening passed with much enjoy- mnet to the maids, and, seemingly, some expense to the bachelors of the class. In April we started a new term. For pur officer's we chose Freda Stewart, Vivian W'ils-on, Georgia Baird and Gladys qudden. Ths spring we'enjoyed a picnic at Alum Rock. JR. C9. The officers of the first term were: President ............... Irma Ridley Vice-President ......... Alfred Hlbb-s Secretary-Treasurer. .D'onna Wauchope Reporter ....... Philoma Goldsworthy The Class teacher, Miss Vivian, ap- 70 pointed herself fairy godmother for each member of the class. Every one- who has had need of her help will af- lirm that under the magic wand or her philosophy all trouble has disappeared. The Jr. A9 class had an afternoon of jollity when they met in Society Hall and danced and played games. The second term, with the exception of secretary, the same officers were re- elected. Ruby Redfern was elected sec- retary and treasurer to take the place of Donna VVauehope, who had left Nor- mal. The office of second vice-prersident was added to the list of officers and Martha Van de Leur was elected to till this office. The Junior- B9is spent a Friday af- ternoon in March at Alum Rock. An enormous picnic lunch was consumed, and after a jolly time on the slides and springs, the happy class rode home to the tune of l Tipperary? The same oflicers served the third term for the Jr. C9 class. The Junior C9 class enjoyed a lunch- eon in April on the lawn in front of the Normal. J UNIOR 10 CLASS. Enthusiastic and full of school spirit are the members of the Junior 10 class. With Mr. Marten as their class teacher, and under the leadership of their of- ficers, many social events have been en- joyed. For this termis pleasures a picnic at Sarato-ga, a luncheon on the lawn, and a trip to Stanford have been enjoyed. The class had for its oflicers the first term: Miss Lockey, President; Rita Dick, V ice-President; Grace Cavaugh, T reasurer; Lydia Hyde, Secretary.

Six months ago, on a stormy day in January, thirty-nine wo'uld-be peda- gogues, after wandering around the Normal Square a number of times, 11- nally reached Mr. VVilsorfs ofhce, strick- en with awe, but upon being kindly re- ceived by Mr. W ilson and Mrs. Great- head, we were registered. Mr. Bland be- came our class teacher, or, in other words, our guardian angel; and we set to work With a right good will. We have made much social progress during the past term, frrst by having a ttget acquaintedt, party in Society Hall. This was followed by a trip to Alum Rock, a luncheon 0n the Quad, and dur- ing the closing week of last term, we were most hospitably entertained by the Senior A class.

Oh, glad are the waters that curl And the b-illmvs that hurst anart: But never a joy where the white waves whirl Is as wild as the joy in my heartVi tSan Jose, Nov. 20, 1915A Two important literary functions were held by the club. The first was in honor of the famous exponent and teacher of. the Short Story, Mr. W. C. Morrow of San Francisco. On this occasion Mr. Morrow, in his after-dinner address, spoke at length on his theory of story 83 writing. More than fifty were present at this dinner; and Mr. John McNEaught, journalist and writer, with Mrs. John McNaught, State Commissioner of Ele- mentary Schools, were also guests of the club. The second function was the Shake- speare Ter-centenar'y Dinner given Ap- ril twenty-fourth in the South Society, Hall. The club then listened to an hour address on the Character of Falstaff? an address finished and ornate. This was given by Professor H. D. Grav 0f the English Department of Stanford University. who is a sound critic and himself a writer of books and plays. T this event will go down in club annals as one of its important historic occasions.

QEIuh The Faculty W-oments Club, which in- cludes all the women teachers in our Normal, was organized in 1907, and has held as its highest aims: First, the up- lift of the teaching profession, and, sec- ond, the promotion of social spirit among both faculty and students. They have taken an active interest in all mat- ters of school legislation and have ap-. pointed delegates to go to- State meet- ings and bring back reports concerning new laws and education movements. In many other ways, they have worked for the betterment of the profession and the uplift of general school work. This body of enthusiastic women is responsible for a large portion of the sociability in our school, and has seen that the social Side Of school life has not been neglected. Occasionally when per- sons of note have been visiting our school, the women have arranged recep- tions for them. Among those who have been entertained in these social hours are: Dr. Mable Ulrich, of Minneapolis; Dr. Caroline Crawford, of Columbia; Mrs. Winifred Sackville eStoner, the well known educator; Mr. and Mrs. John Mc-Naught, of Sacramento; Mr. E. R. Snyder, Commissioner of Voca- tional Education, and Mr. Edwin Mark- ham, author of ttThe Man with the Hoe? In compliance with a long established custom, just before their graduation, the classes of December and March were given pleasant receptions and the work and aims of the State Federation of School Women,s Clubs presented to 84 them by several of the faculty women. The year 1916 has been a unique one for the Young Women's Christian Asso- ciation because it has been a Jubilee year during which has been celebrated the Iiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Young Women'is Christian Asso- ciation in the United States of America. No longer do we feel ourselves to be merely a part of the Association at the San Jose Normal with 250 girls ; rather we feel ourselves to be a part of 375,000 girls in the 980 other Associations in the United States, and even of the 785,000 members scattered over 30 nations of the world. More than any other one em- phasis of the year, perhaps, has been this one of a world fellowship and a world vision. We have lost a bit of. our pro- vincialism, we hope, and have come to know and sympathize with the many, many kinds of girls in city, college, and country to whom the Association min- isters. The month of February-was given over entirely to special Jubilee meetings during which we had time to be think- ing itwhat we are, whence we came, what we have done, and to what the King has calleti us? All the Associa- tions of the United States celebrated he fiftieth birthday at this same time ind all followed practically the same price gram. The month opened with a Mem- bership Supper, attended by 150 mem- bers, which was a most enthusiastic and 85 Tr Iwoem. inspiring gathering where the purpose and the bigness of the Association were most vividly portrayed. Following this, there was a Pioneersi Day when honor was paid to the alumnae of; our own As- sociation; a living, moving picture por- trayal of Association work the world over; and two, devotional meetings led by our national secertaries, Miss Bertha Conde and Miss Mary Bentley. Another feature which has fostered the inter- collegiate spirit was the evening when the Cabinet officers of the Normal enm tertained the Cabinet officers of Stan- ford and the College Of the Pacific, and Jubilee plans were discussed. Not only has this been an important year nationaly, but also locally, since it marks the thirtieth year of our own 10- cal history. Probably few people realize that it was thirty yearis ago this year that some of the faculty and students first felt the need of. a Christian Asso- ciation and organized one. For twenty- six years the Association continued in the school, fostered by sincere and en- thusiastic girls and earnest faculty, bringing many girls within the reach of its friendliness and inspiration. Then the need was felt for someone who could give more time to the development of the work and a General Secretary was called to do this thing. For the past four years our Secretary has been with us and because she has been able to give her entire time to- us, the work of the Association has greatly enlarged and many more girls have come to know the ideals of the Association and to benefit by its service. During this year, our membership has reached 250; many social events have been held of which the two jolly-utps Of this year have been perhaps the best -what Junior will forget the lFriendly F rolicil in the gym in September when she itfrolicede with over 200 other young Juniors like herself and felt for the flrst time as though she really belonged to Normal? The weekly meetings have steadily become better, bringing before the girls of Normal, men and women who have had visions of big things to be done in the world and who have brought to us a deeper insight into life now and as it will be in the years ahead. We have sought to serve the Whole Normal School in little ways of. helpful- ness, through 0th Rest Room, our loan desk, Our meetings and social affairs. We are hoping that the year 1916 finds Jubilee thoughts of thankfulness in the heart of every person here at Normal because the Young Womens Christian Association has been a part of the student life here, with contributions of friendliness and inspiration. The new City Young VVIomen'ls Chris- tian Association building has been 0p- ened during this last term and already the Normal girls are enjoying its artis- tic and restful rooms, the gymnasium and the swimming pool, and the beauti- ful auditorium. VVllile the work of the N ormal Association still continues to be carried on as a distinct work apart from that of the city association, we feel that we are always more than welcome in the new building and know that the Secre- taries there are glad to have us use and enjoy the building at any and all times.

CABINET Newman Hall was built for the N ew- man Club in 1911 by the late Arch- bishop Riordan, as a place Where the Catholic students might meet on a com- mon ground and have the protection of the church during the hours of study and recreation. The hall is open from 10 t0 5 to club members and friends. On Tuesday afternon, after school, reg- ular club 111eetings are held. The hall IS open Friday evenings for social gather- ings. There have been many good times in Newman Hall this past year, beginning on September 16th with a delicious luncheon prepared by the ladies of the Alumni Council, especially for the new students and members of the club. 011 every Saturday evening in October, November, and December, folk dancing classes were conducted by Miss Cecelia A. OTNeil, who is the physical training director in San Jose High School. The girls enjoyed these evenings very much and learned many pretty little folk dances, suitable for them to teach m their own schools some day. In October, a cafeteria luncheon was given for the beneflt 0f the club. This affair was a great success, both socialiy and fmancially, and we are grateful to our guests, who made it possible to add many little comforts to our hall. Madame La Loie Fuller Visited N ew' man Hall and spoke to the Newman girls and their friends on the sufferings of the women and children in Belgium, Through the efforts of the Newman fragments Miss Mitchell Miss Gardiser Miss Pew Alumni, the 'members had the privilege of hearing Dr. C rawford when she gave one Of her delightful talks before a large gathering at Newman Hall. The most important event of the year was the reception given to ArchbishoP Hanna in our Hall on F ebruary second. The ladies of the Alumni Council did everything in their power to enhance the beauty of our Hall for the occasion. Many hundreds gathered to honor Archbishop Hanna and listened with the greatest interest and appreciation to his eloquent address. The ladies of the Newman Council have been most generous in their work for us this year. In F ebruary they gave a Play and Book Shower for the benefit of our library. We were presented with a large number of valuable reference books and some very good fiction. The Young Ladies, Institute gave us a check for $50 to be spent in increasing the number of good books on our shelves. Miss Agnes wae also presented us with a valuable set of books. We cer- tainly appreciate this gift as well as the interest Miss Howe has always taken in the activities at N ewman Hall. Another delightful program was giv- en for the benefit of the club under the management of Miss Vera and Mr. Roy Emerson. In the spring term, the Santa Clara Band, Orchestra and Urlee Llub gave us a delightful conce'rt. They are so generous with their music, it is a joy to listen to them. During the year, instructions in Cath- olic doctrine have been given regularly by our Chaplain, Father Wm. Culligan. During the Lenten season, Father Bo- land, Who is one of the most efficient teachers in Santa Clara University, as well as a very eloquent speaker, gave a series of discussions on Catholic theol- ogy. a The most impressive event of the school year was in May when the New- man Club received Holy Communion in a body at St. Josephs Church and then had breakfast together at N ewman Hall. The farewell given by the ladies of the Council to the June Class was a de- lightful success and will long be remem- bered by. those who were fortunate en- ough to have been present. Newman Club is proud of the prog ress made this year and much Credit is given to her Presidents, Annette Mitch- ell, Vivian Gardiser, and Frances Pew, and t0 the ladies of the Newman Coun- cil for the success achieved. N EWMAN HALL 89 : $ramatit $au'etp The Dramatic Society of San Jose State N ormal Was founded a number of years ago by a small number of stu- dents Who were particularly interested in dramatic and literary work Since then it has developed into: an enthusias- tic group of amateur dramatists WhO have successfully staged several plays. Much credit is due to the faculty mem- bers for their interest and help in act- ing as judges at tryouts and as coaches. The Dramatic Society Will lose some of its best members by the June gradu- ation, but as there are among its mem- bers a number of talented J uniors, the society is assured of a. very prosperous future. The members who will be grad- uated are: Ruth Williams, Edith Crow- ell Florence Campbell, Mrs. Willis, ! Alida Lilly, Elizabeth and Maude Guldborg, Faculty members: Miss Bradley, Miss Yaeger, Miller, Miss Payne and Miss Post. Active members: Bess Dowling, Margaret Kell, Helen McElro-y, Mrs. W illis, Elizabeth Yaeger, Edith Erdman, Ruth VVilliams,' Dorothy Schillig, Alida Lilly, Vivian Bolton, Edith Crowell, Helen McPike, Mrs. Stalker, Florence Campbell, Elizabeth Case, Maude Guld- b-o-rg, Philoma Goldsworthy, Irma Eck- stein, and Helen Ruef. Officers. President ............ Ruth Williams ViceePresident ...... Maude Guldborg Secretary .............. Nell Bradley Reporter .............. Margaret Keil 2340 mazmz Axiamoz One year ago this June the boys of San jose Normal conceived the idea of forming a club among the male students of the school. As no organization of any kind existed whereby the young men of the school could meet upon com- mon terms, it was decided to organize all of the young men into What has de- veloped into the San Jose Normal Young Mews Club. This organization has grown out of many attempts to bring the young men of the San j'ose Normal and those that have been graduated into a closer re- lationship. It was formed for the pur- pose of furthering the social and pro- fessional relations of San Jose Normal men. This purpose is being accom- plished by the monthly meetings, the menis feeds, and other social gatherings Which an organization makes possible. Professional Advantages. Looking at it from a professional side the men in the field can be a help to those still attending the Normal Who are looking for positions. An organiza- tion of this kind furnishes a means of communication, and enables San Jose Normal men to keep in touch With their Alma Mater and each other. It has an added value, that of advertising the San Jose Normal School as one that fosters brotherly love among its young men graduates. 92 One must catch the spirit of a thing of this kind in order to realize fully What it means. No set of young men is blessed With such a spirit at a single touch by some magic wand, but it must be the result of an organized fellowship with a com- mon end in view. If you would catch it, for it is contagious, just take a peek in- to Society Hall at one of the men's ban- quets and see Mr. Wilson in his shirt sleeves, standing on a chair and lead- ing the men of the faculty in a big sky- rocket for the young men of the San Jose Normal. There is something underlying the N ormal Men's Club. The mere fact that the young men have met, framed a con- stitution, and have entertained good fellowship, is not all. The young men of this club expect to bind themselves to- gether by a stronger bond than that of the Alma Mater. They expect to- strengthen the bond of their Alma Ma- ter by a social, literary, and profession- al organization. In the Normal Mews Club is expected to lie the kernel of such a bond. Letters have been written to many of San Jose State NormaPS graduates who are teaching, asking them to keep in touch With the work of the club and to gain what may be gained from their co- operation and to give what aid they may in return. Success lies in co-operation. And in the Normal Menis Club a bond of co-operation between undergraduates and graduates of San Jose Nbrmal will be established, in the opinion of those who have organized the club. Officers. The officers for the past year have. been: - President .......... Herbert L. Hunn Vice-President ........... Cyril Frost Recording Secretary ...... Bryan Hall Corresponding Secretary .......... .................. M. Lloyd Morgan Treasurer .............. James Kirby Reporter .............. George Boyd Sergeant-at-Arms . . .Leland Lancaster Men's Clubrooms. The Normal Menis Club is not only aiding graduating members in a profes sional way, but it is also aiding under- graduate members in many ways. This club has fired the first gun in a big cam- paign for a young menis club rooms. .Hitherto the boys have had no meeting;- olace in common. other than meager locker rooms and corridors. It is the intention of the club to fit no a suitable clubroom for the male students of the school. Agitation was first started during the first term of the school year. It was de- cided to give a show, HFollies of the Fair? in order to raise sufficient funds for the furnishing up of the rooms. When the play had been given and more than seventy dollars had been re- alized towards the furnishing of the clubrooms, Dr. Dailey announced to the boys that a room had been selected for their use. Miss Hallis large assembly hall has been promised to the boys for their use beginning next September. HFollies of the Fairy In order to make the means toward the end, clubrooms, a success, it was necessary for the boys to get up some- thing that was absolutely novel and en- tertaining in every detail. In the crea- tion of Follies of the Faith this end was secured. And ttFollies of the Fairit was pronounced by all who witnessed it as a marked success. Chico Entertainment. When the Chico boys Visited San Jose at the time of the annual contests. the Normal Menis Club entertained the visitors at a banquet and, program in South Society Hall. A sumptions ban- quet was served to both the Chico boys and visiting faculty men. QBftiuzrs Lancaster Kirby 93 Frost M organ Boyd Talk about fun! I wonder who has Steinbeck, Secretary of the Y. W. 'C. A., it? The ttOregon Clubh certainly has had its share ever since it was organized on October fifth, 1915. When we hrst came to this San Jose State Normal School, we felt that we were entirely separated from our native state, Oregon, and alone in a new coun- try. T hat is not the feeling in our hearts at present, for we have found Califor- nia,s young people just as friendly, con- scientious, and ready to welcome strangers to their beloved state as those of our own home land. Thus mutual friendships have been formed, one with the other. Much credit and gratitude is given to the Y. W. C. A. for the important part it played in the organization of this club. We are indebted to Miss Grace 94 Miss Gratz of the Normal Faculty and Miss Belle Haven, who played the part of organizers and to whom we are duly grateful. The girls for the first time had a. grand reunion at the home of Miss Belle Haven. who was a very charming hos- tess. Since this first meeting, we have had one grand round of good times. We expect to continue next year, trusting that the new members will enter into the same spirit of co-operation which has been manifested by the 1916 members of the club.

All Californians love the yellow pop- py, but to some of the girls of San Jose Nlormal it is most precious, for it is emblematic of the friendship and pleas- ure of the Copa De Ora organization. Copa De Ora began its year of pleas- ure with an afternon affair, soon after the opening of the fall term. Shortly after, the ladies of San Jose Fraternity and Santa Clara 'Chapters of the Eastern Star entertained the members and their friends at a luncheon in Society Hall. The new girls were made welcome by the ladies and by the Copa De Ora Pres- ident Ellen Stoyell. Plans were at once made for a dance, which proved to be even more success- ful than was anticipated. The ladies of the Past Matronsi Association, Without Whom very little could be accomplished, aided the girls in entertaining the Aca- cia Fraternity of Stanford and a few other friends. Due to the kindness and courtesy of those in charge of the Scot- tish Rite Temple, we were able to hold our dance there. About thirty couples enjoyed a most delightful evening. Numerous other social affairs oc- v .. .2 . 51 96 curred during the term. Several new members were initiated and welcomed into our midst. In December, two of our members, Carrie Ellis and Lillian Van Riper, were graduated. After the Christmas holidays, another term of good times began. Twice a month, a social afternoon was held, to Which Copa De Ora and her friends looked forward greatly. Our president, Roma Roberts, could always be depend- ed upon to see that everyone enjoyed herself. One afternoon in the middle of the term, we had a party in Society Hall to which numerous friends were invited. It was a very informal affair and the members as well as the guests were asked to express their opinions concern- ing a matter about which we had been thinking for some time. We thought it best to widen our circle of membership by having all girls of Masonic families eligible to become. This was looked upon favorably by all present, includ- ing our faculty members. Miss Howe and Miss Riebsam, as well as Mrs. Ag- nes Conant, Who had worked faithful- ly with us for a long period. As a re- sult, C'Opa De Ora initiated twenty-six enthusiastic new members. At the close of the term, Ebba Wiren was graduated. A third term opened with a social af- ternoon, the J unio-r members having charge of the amusements. erlen Paull, the new president, presided at this meeting. An invitation was accept- ed to a six 0-,C10Ck dinner given by San Jose Chapter 31, On May 2. Our last term was a busy and inter- esting one, fIHEd With many pleasant social affairs. During Commencement XVeek, COpa De Ora kept open house, When they greeted returning graduates and friends.

Throngs of happy excited stu' dents crowd the corridors and the air resounds with laughter and happy voic- es. There are the Seniors enthusiasti- cally greeting old friends and class- mates, and the Juniors learning for the first time the meaning of San Jose N01 mal fellowship. It has been the custom of the Seniors to set aside one of these September eVenings to celebrate the coming of the- Juniors to San Jose, and to give them an insight into the social life. This year the date set was September 15, and the Senior class of 1916 as hosts and es- corts gave the Junior class their formal welcome into San Jose Normal. After being warmly greeted by Dr. Dailey and members of the faculty, the Juniors were taken to the Quad where there was music and lights and merry couples dancing. During the evening a musical program was rendered and was greatly enjoyed by all. Mrs. Nye sang two beautiful solos. T hen followed solos by John Squires, which were equally delightful. The program was closed by selections by the Boys Quar- tet, who sang in their usual snappy strain. SENIOR MASQUERADE. It was during Halloween season that the Senior class decided that they would like to have a party. It is just as natural to think of parties at this time as it is to have spring fever in the spring or to get poison oak at Alum Rock. But the Seniors were disappointed in having a party on Halloween because we were 100 all given a holiday to attend the Exposie tion, so the date was changed for one week later and a Masquerade was de- cided upon. The Assembly Hall was cleared and decorated with pumpkins and corn stalks. The evening was spent in danc- ing and in merry comments upon the various costumes. Some of the costumes were very original, especially those of the boys Who enlisted the aid of the T ower Film Co. in their make-upts, and even his Satanic majesty was seen in our midst. During the evening we were entertained by selections by the stringed quartet which we greatly Later in the evening great round sugary doughnuts and sparkling cider were served and it was with regret that we heard the tan-tap of the cane on the sidewalk which tells of the inevitable end of our hilarity. enjoyed. FACULTY PARTY. Save the date! Feb. 113, This was the announcement that Dr. Dailey made in Assembly. and that was all the ex- nlanation he gave then, and of course we werenit a bit curious. Each day we were told more about it until we knew the whole story. The 11th finally arrived and with it the party. We had all been urged to come and to wear any kind of fantastic costume. Miss Vivian kindly offered her advice to the young men upon the subiect of costumes, and Mr. Wilson said that he would gladly give his ar- tistic knowledge to the young women. Judging from the results we are won- dering who planned the costumes of the faculty. From the minute we came within hear- ing of the Assembly Hall there wasnit F ACULTY PARTY 1 O l a dull moment. As we entered the hall we were given a tag by which we were divided into. families, and were instructs ed that each family was to prepare and present a stunt during the evening. The stunts would have been a great success but every one was so interested in his neighborls costume that only those who performed the stunts were able to see them. The costumes of the faculty were worth seeing, and as the Grand March of the faculty members went .on the screams of laughter could be heard for blocks. From some mysterious source, during the evening, supplies of peanuts, apples and popcorn balls in great number were brought forth and greatly enjoyed. When we left, tired and happy, the hall looked as though there had been a storm of peanut shells and apple cores. The students thank the faculty heart- ily for this, one of the best times we have had in San Jose N ormal. It is a fine prece edent and we hope that it will be contin- ued. It is a glorious opportunity for the students and faculty to become better friends, and it is only thruo'gh friend- ship that the closest co-operatio-n can be obtained. SAN JOSE NORMAL IN THE MOVIES! One morning early in the spring term when we went to Assembly we were de- lighted to see upon the platform Judge Willis Brown. F rom the ovation which was given him there could be no doubt that he was a very welcome Visitor to. San Jose Normal and all who heard him speak last fall will agree to that. We were very much disappointed when he sald that he had not come to speak to us again, but that he had something very much better in store for us. We had some doubts on the subject but were very much surprised at what he had to tell us. He said that although he did not look it, he was now on the road to becoming a ltmovie magnate? He had been persuaded to become the presi+ dent of a society for the bettering of the films of today, and he was here in behalf of that movement. This society has evolved a scheme whereby it intends to feature each state in the Union, thus putting out a set of films which would be instructive as well as interesting. Into each film would be woven the points of interest in each state, and the special industries, and lest this become dull there is to- be a romance connected with each. For the state of California the title of ltThe Girl of the Golden W estl, has been chosen and our Normal is pictured in it as the most beautiful Nior- mal in the state. It is the only Nor- mal to be- used in this set of pictures. Miss Ruth Hammond is the heroine of the film and Judge Willis Brown introduced her to us as a new student of our school. He said that he wished us all to be in the picture, and so we- adjourned to the Quad, trying our best to Hlook pleas- antli as the camera man did his work. Judging from appearances, some of our young men were well- pleased with our new student and wished to become better acquainted. We have not seen the pictures yet, but it is needless to say that tlvThe Girl of the Golden Westll will find a hearty welcome whenever it does come our way. 102 Rallies If you will look in'the dictionary you will fmd that to rally means to reassem- ble, to renew wasted strength. If you will look in upon a San Jose Normal rally you will see that it means this and a great deal more. It means enthusiasm, it means school-spirit and more than that it means good leadership and co-Op- eration. This year our rallies have been held with a definite purpose in View and there is no one who has been in one who cannot say that we have had a very sucessful rally year. We have had a very capable yell leader in the person of George Boyd. Mr. Boyd has always been intensely interested in student af- fairs and it is largely through the efforts on his part that our rallies have meant what they have to the students. Esther Dool has made a capable song leader and the singing of our rallies has been phenomenal. HL. B. WW Junior-Senior Rally. We knew that something was ttdoingii as soon as we arrived at the assembly hall. The Juniors were on one side of ttGEORGEIH the room and the Seniors on the other. It soon developed that this was the time for the annual baseball game between the Senior and Juniors teams. There had been one game played and the score was a tie and so excitement was run- ning high. Mr. Frost was Junior yell leader and Mr. Boyd the Senior man. We will have to admit that the Juniors the more than give them back the axe W'hiCi'l can yell pretty well, but Seniors they had so lustily presented. Each team had chosen a faculty men - her to support them and to speak in their behalf. Mr. Jenkins spoke for the Senior team. He said that one of the men had told him never to spoil a good story for the sake of the truth and he certainly told a good story. Mr. Wilson said that when he went out to see the hrst game he had a hard time to choose between the Juniors and a bunch of street urchins who were out rooting but he finally decided that he belonged with the Juniors and so he was there in their behalf. 103 Athletic Rally. One of our first rallies of the year was held in behalf of athletics and debating. Each form of sport was presented by its respective manager. The idea was to interest the students in the various form of student affairs and bring them out to practice and try-out. Roma McGriff, debating manager, presented the interests of debating. Phil Sheehy, manager of the girlsi bas- ketball team, and Harold Mosher, man- ager of the boysi basketball, each urged the co-operation of the students in mak- ing this year a successful one in these lines. Myrtie Jackson spoke in behalf of tennis and expressed her desire to have this sport mean more to the stu- dents than it ever had before. SIESTHER.,, CHICO IS COMING. Rallies, rallies. Big ones, little ones, yelling ones and singing ones. Why all this rallying? Why, Chico is coming, thirty-Iive strong. Surely there could be no criticism about the school spirit that was shown in the few weeks before our big annual contest with Chico Normal. ' This year a new practice was institut- ed and it Worked so well that it is to be hoped that it will continue. At one meeting of the student body nominations were made for song leader. The next week these girls who were nominated led the assembly in singing one verse of ttWeive Got Chicois Goat? There was a great deal of interest shown and every one had a chance to see what each girl could do. After the try-outs the student body voted by class- es and Miss Dool was elected. For several days before Chico came excitement was at a high pitch and we had several enthusiastic rallies, all cul- minating in THE RALLY which came off Wednesday night. No effort had been spared to make the bonfire and all a success. Mr. Kirby had the bonfire committee in charge and the San Jose merchants kindly donated the necessary materials. The program opened with songs by the students, led by Esther D001 and yells by Mr. Boyd. After we had yelled ourselves hoarse the men took charge of the funeral and funeral oration of the dead Chico. Undertaker James Kirby and the funeral train were all in evi- dence. John Squires, acting as pastor, delivered the eulogy in the Shakespear- ean idiom. As the sad father and mother of the deceased were taking a last look at him, the corpse, Gil Squires, surprised everyone by raising the lid of his coffin for a last fond embrace. The funeral train proceeded to the bonfire where the remains were con- signed to the blaze. The serpentine was led by the president of the student body, Reuby Barnhart, followed by the Sap- pho girls, singing tiHail, San Jose? Back in the hall once more and a most interesting program was given. 104 Bob Wilson played a double game, when he took the part of. Chico and then of San Jose in a black and white sketch. The dialogue ended with San Jose get- ting the better of the bargain, as was to be expected. I Bess Kreiss, last year our song lead- er, gave a humorous musical burlesque on Chico. She was dressed appropriate- ly to represent Chico, and she gave thecollections of Last Yearls Chico Tripll and llAlmost Home? in her usual clever style. The Ero Sophian girls gave a very clever whistling stunt. They took the parts of Chico and San Jose, who met and since their identity was unknown, soon became very good friends, but as soon as they discovered who the other was all was at an end, and disaster fol- lowed, with San Jose coming out on top., The Browning girls followed with a very cleiLer song written by Estelle Ho-isholt, to the tune of wThe Hula Girl? The girls were all in yellow and white, the school colors, and they closed the program by singing itOur Hearts Are Filled with Pride? Yellow streamers were thrown out over the au- dience, adding to the color scheme. All through the strenuous days before and during Chicols visit here, the stu- dents showed the best of spirit and worked right with the'leaders to make it a success. The leaders were llon the jobll every minute and even after de- feat had come in the games the rooting continued, and the singing was, not the least bit fainter tthough perhaps hoars- ery, Which all goes to show that San Jose Normal stands firm whether we Win or lose. BONFIRE FOR CHICO RALLY. thim luncheon One of the most pleasant occurrences of the Chico visit and one that will be long remembered by all who were lucky enough to be present, was the luncheon given to all lC'hico Visitors and the San Jose teams. That the luncheon was such a decided success was due to the untir- ing efforts of the committee in charge, which was composed of Loraine Wes- sing, Mrs. Mary Center, Eudora Scott Vivian Gardiser, Gladys Ross, Alta Lewis, Gladys King Gertrude Biggs, Verna Merky, Esther Dool, Ruth Chest- nutt, Myrtie J ackson At 12:30 the guests Were taken to Society Hall, which had been trans- formed into a bower of loveliness. Vio- lets and smilax had been used in simple and effective scheme. The tables Were set in the form of an llXii and by means of hand- painted Violet place- -cards the guests were seated. On the tables the violet color scheme had been carried out, from a large basket of real violets 1n. the centerito the violet favors at each place, and the soft light from the Violet shad- ed candelabras over all. The girls decided that to show the visitors what we really could do here in San Jose, they would do their own catering and surely all Who were at the luncheon can truly say that they would be willing to always be so catered to. From the first course of iced grape fruit through all the courses to the last, which was Violet ice-cream and violet iced cake, not forgetting, of course, the chicken pie, there was not a dull mo- ment and the sounds that came from Society Hall bespoke the greatest en- joyment. . During the hour, Miss Reuby Barn- hart, president of the student body, ex- tended a hearty welcome to the Visitors. Dr. Bailey also, in. a few words, made the Chicoans feel that they were very welcome in San Jose. Mr. Ware, Presi- dent of Chico Normal, spoke of the re- lations between San Jose and Chico, saying that San J ose was the mother of. the California Normals, and he hoped that there would always be only the best of friendship between the two schools. and all those who were present could only echo his wish. Mr. Mosher of San Jose and the Chico Male Quartet enter- tained With musical selections which were greatly appreciated. 106 ASSEMBLIES. Assembly! The very word is dear to every true Normaliteis ear, for Where is there a student who does not love to stroll to the old square building, between the Training School and the Normal proper, at 10:07 every morning, and oc- casionally for specials during the day. Hardly a week passes without two or three assembly tisurprisesfi Some clever artist in music, dance, oral expression or oratory visits and broadens as well as entertains us. To detail this year's large store of visitors would be impossible, therefore just a'mention of each must . sufiice. We have been extremely for- tunate in having the conditions in Em rope so clearly and impressively pic- tured to us by people who know. Dr. McDonald. Dr. James A. MacDonald, editor of the ttTor-onto Globe? Canada, and one of the best orators in America, delivered a powerful address on the iiPower of Service? Jubilee Singers. Later we were entertained With sev- eral negro melodies by the noted quar- tet of Jubilee Singers. Mr. Hill, man- ager of the quartet, also read several of Paul Dunbaris famous negro poems. Judge Brown. The students and faculty were ex- tremely fortunate in Judge Willis Brown give his splendid talk on iiClean Morals, the Bases of Citizen- shipX Judge Brown is a man who is doing effective things and until recently he has presided over the 'Salt Lake City juvenile court, Which he founded and which is pronounced to be one of the hearlng ' most advanced of any in the United States. give in behalf of the. regeneration of youths, which held his audience spell- bound. ' He had a rousing message to John Daniels. J ohn Daniels, 21 popular soloist at the Exposition, entertained us with songs during one of our assembly periods. Mr. Daniels sang with much expression, and especially were his Irish songs well in- terpreted. Jerome Damonte. Early in the term we were entertained by two clever accordion artists, Mr. Jerome Damonte of San, Jose and Mr. iCamillo of San Francisco. They proved so very popular that it was but a week more before the iiaccordion boysii had returned to interpret a second musical program for the student body. 108 Edwin Markham. : Mr. Edwin Markham, an ever wel- come guest in our midst, needs no in- troduction. We were favored early this year by having him with us to read a number of his exceedingly delightful poems. Mr. Markham is an honored graduate of our Normal. N La Loie Fuller. Some weeks later, La Loie Fuller, the world renowned dancingr artist, appeared before the assembly, and make a strong appeal for the cause. Miss Fuller was accompanied by her twenty little dancing girls, who gave an eXhh- bition of their wonderful dancing. Needless to say, Miss Fulleris entertain- ment was more than enjoyed by every- one. Belgian The Normal students are never want- ing as far as musical treats are con- cerned. Ruth H aywood. But a few days afterwards the stu- dents greatly enjoyed a splendid recital by Miss Ruth Hayward. We are proud to say that Miss Hayward, in her youth, attended the Normal Training School. Miss Hayward has had the great privi- lege of studying with Madame Ellen Beach Yaw. Besides the great wealth of music we were also fortunate in hearing talent along other lines. Fred Spaulding. Mr. Fred Suptaulding, an American and a Rhodes Scholarship man studying at Oxford, addressed the faculty and student body on the origin and organiza- tion of the American relief work in Bel- gium. Mrs. H. C. Hoover. Shortly afterwards, Mrs. H. C. Hoov- er, who has been assisting her husband in the splendid work of the Belgium Relief Committee, gave a stirring talk, which touched the hearts of her inter- ested listeners, by picturing the condi- tions as only one who has witnessed could. It is interesting to know that Mrs.-Hoo-ver was graduated from our Normal twenty years ago. M iss Crawford. Dr. Caroline Crawford of Columbia University gave a series of lectures in the assembly on the evolution or devel- ooment of dramatic art in child life. Miss Crawford is considered one of the foremost authorities in the United States on this subject. The lectures were exceedingly instructive to all. Dr. Schallenberger-McNaught. Dr. Schallenberger-McNaught, the Commissioner of Elementary Schools in California. and former principal of our Training School, visited us for two days, and told us about the work she is do- ing. Mrs. McNaught, who graduated from our Normal, now holds the high- est position of any woman in the state. 109 M rs. Sto-ner. Winifred Sackville Stoner, the mother , and principal educator of the Mrs, liwonder, child? W'inifred Stoner, Jr., gave a most. interesting lecture and practical application of her methods of IInatural education? Mrs. Stoner is a woman of charming personality and worthy of attention. . Prof. Bradley: hDuring one of our later assemblies ProfessOr Bradley, director of music in the Bush Conservatory of Music, gave us his idea of art. His message, IIOnly can we own art when we appreciate and underStand it was clearly given. It was a pleasure and a leonn to listen to Professor Bradley and all learned some- thing about lappreciationi, from him. John Ellis. One of our later speakers was Mr. John Ellis, an expert in the subjects of forestry. We were greatly pleased with Mr. Ellisls inspiring lecture. The forest movement has become one With which all people of the world are becoming better acquainted. . Visited us Dr. Mabel Ulrich. Early in the school year. Dr. Mabel Ulrich, a woman with an exceedingly pleasing personality and wide experi- ence, gave a course of five lectures to: the women students, on hygiene and morals. ' Her lectures were of vast importance and will surely help the teachers in solving their school problems later. Dr. Ulrich, who lives in Minneapolis, was lecturing only at Stanford University and our Normal while out on the coast, so we feel very proud to have heard her. Francis Labodie. Mr. Francis Labodie, a well known reader and interpreter of famous poems, but a little while later and delightfully read a few of Dr. Drummondls poems, of which he is a staunch admirer. Mr.MeLaren. Mr. Mc-Laren, the noted reader, dressed in Scottish costume, entertained us admirably by interpreting Robert Burns, whose life he had previously sketched for us Faculty Speakers. Not only is the assembly fortunate in hearing from outside visitors, but our own faculty and students very often have treats for us. Some of the faculty heard from this year are: Mrs. Horn- brook, who told us about Winifred Ston'er, the llWo-nder Childli; Miss Mc- Fadden, who discussed Red Cross Seals and the good being done by the sale of such; Miss V ivian, who clearly exs plained the Presidents Proclamation, and Miss Rowell, who is ever welcome when she appears before our assembly, spoke on ilIdealsK, She also spoke to us on our Honor Days. Mr. Wilson also gave the students an impressive talk on Honor Day. Other attractions we have had are: rallies, student body meet- ings, celebration of Columbus Day, Washingtonis and Lincolnis Birthdays, and musical programs by our special music students. So one can see we are all well justified in looking forward ev- ery morning to the assembly'period, which never groWs monotonous to any genuine Normal student. 110 M rs. P resto n. Subjects of Vital interest were dis- cussed by Mrs. JosephinelCorliss Pres- ton, who is superintendent of public instruction in .Washington. She dis- cussed the problem of defective and de- linquent children admirably. The estab- lishment of teachers cottages in connec- tion with rural schools was well de- scribed also. While not a graduate of. our Normal, Mrs. Preston said she owed a great deal to its infiuenc'e, which she received indirectly from friends of hers who have attended here. M iss Everts. An entertaining hour never to be for- gotten by the Normal students was at the time Miss Katherine Jewell Everts favored us with the splendid reading, iiMy Lady,s Ring? Miss Everts, im- personation of the four principle char- acters in the drama was remarkable. 111 Herbert Bashford. Very late in the school year the as- sembly was delightfully surprised to find that Mr. Herbert Bashford, renowned poet and dramatist, had come to read a number of poems. In 1900 Mr. Bash- ford came to California and was editor of the HLiterary VVestii in San Francis- co, and in the meantime playwriting. HT he Woman Hie Marriedi, is the dram- atistis greatest piece of work. At pres- ent he is completing a promising social play, ttA Light in the Dark? Among Mr. Bashfordis collection of poems, containing both his lyrics and humorous selections, are his well known successes, namely, hThe W'olves 0f the Seaii and ttN-ebraskyis Fertile Shore? At present Mr. Herbert Bashford is Literary' Editor of the San Francisco Bulletin and one of the foremost literary men of the West. Iliamltg QIhangw With the closing of this termis work, the Normal loses three of its faculty members. Miss Calthea C. Vivian. Miss Vivian, who has been connected with the N ormal for sixteen years, leaves to devote her time exclusively to art. She intends spending a year at Pacific Grove finishing some canvasses, and then to remove her studio to Los Angeles. During her years in San J ose Miss Viv- ian has come to fill a vital part in the life of the school, and as such will be greatly missed by faculty and students alike. Mrs. Adelia Hornbrook. Mrs. Hornbrook, who has supervised arithmetic in the lower grades of. the Training School, and taught number play in Primary Methods, for the past three years, is about to retire from the teaching profession. Mrs. Hornbrook is the author of a number of textbooks in arithmetic and at present is putting the finishing touches on a new one, dealing with number work. She is well known in the educational world, in which she has filled a prominent part for many years. She intends to make San Jose her future home. S. J. N. 8. may well be proud to have as Professor Emeritus Mrs. Hornbrook, a teacher Whom We have all come to admire, in her few years here. Mr. Harold Boyle. Mr. Boyle has been connected with the Normal for but three years, but in that time has accomplished much in the way of constructive education. Before the Shacksii burned, a Visit was made to- them by a U. S. Commissioner of Ed- ucation. He highly commended Mr. Boyleis work and; declared his depart- ment, the equipment of which was made mostly by Mr. Boyle himself, to be one of the best arranged school metal work departments in the United? States. The man who made this remarkable work, the man who outlived the new courses of Architectural Draw- ing, Industrial Drawing and Elements of Industry is the Mr. Boyle who is about to leave the faculty of S. J. N. S. Mr. Boyle intends going East and there entering the manufacturing business. :He willl be missed by all, but especially so by the members of the Normal Mews Club. Much of the success of this or- ganization is due to the friendly advice and suggestions of Prof. Boyle. 112 HELVU HEND- - - - E - - .- .- EHo-aholt iummunIumummuuuuummmmuimmmnllullmmmmis-ri e! atii-ii-muuummumgimmnummuuu Ethattng A great deal of interest has been shown in debating this year as our team met Chico here at home. Early in Octo- ber work began in anticipation of the triy-outs. On Friday morning, November 19, the try-uouts for the debating team were held before an interested assembly. T he- question was handled independently by each speaker. Each talk was full of life and exceedingly interesting. The judges, Miss Payne, Miss Riebr- sam, Miss Post, Mr. Wood, and Mr. ROMA MCGRIFF, Manager. Jenkins, gave places on the team to the following: Raymond Miller, first place; Elizabeth Yager, second place; Hazel Osborn, third place; and John Maloy, alternate. The school felt that they were es- pecially well represented this year as all of the team were very well qualified for the task before them. Raymond Miller, the leader, was one Of the members of the team which de- feated Chico last year. His brilliant work was well known at Normal, and also at the College of the Pacific. Hazel Osborn gained her experience in'debating while she was attending the Madera High School. Elizabeth Yager came to us from In- diana, where she has had much experi- ence along this line. John Maloy, alternative, has debated' at Stanford University. Roma McGriff, manager, with her well known executive ability, helped very materially to make the debate a success, which it was. The debate With Chico was held on Saturday afternoon, January 22, in the Assembly Hall. Dr. M. E. Dailey in tr-oduce-d Professor A.

McCormack, and Pro- fessor Ira W. Holeworthx all faculty members of the University pf Californ- nia. i The question for debate was, iiRe- solved, That the present adoption of the Garrison-Daniels national defense pro'- po-sal is unjustifiable? San Jose held that the proposal was uninstitied. while the negative of the question was sup' ported hv Mrs. Vfiiliam Brovles, Mar- garet Bickford, Wilfred Woody, and Emma Reynolds alternative, of the Chico Niolrmal. According: to custom, Chico. the ViSit' ing team, had the choice of questions and San Jose had the choice of sides. Raymond Miller onened the debate for the affirmative. Tie had a forceful manner of expression and his words carried conviction. Hazel Osborn, second speaker on the affirmative, had a capacity of supportin:T her assertions with a wealth of detail which she handled so that her speech Was incontrovertible and difiicult to at- tack. . Elizabeth Yager had a tine presence and a convincing manner. Her speech was complementary to the others in that she presented her case more from the ideal and psychological standpoint. It was an artistic speech and was loudly applauded. The team which Chico had brought to uphold the negative was a strong combination. Mrs. Broyles opened the arguments for the negative and outlined her case in a clear and concise manner. She gave a closely reasoned statement of the position, punctuated with a ju- dicious selection of facts to support her arguments. She was succeeded by Miss Margaret Bickford, who presented her speech in a very charming manner. She had perfect enunciatio-n and she made a speech of a more general style, add- ing, like Miss Yager, a large amount of human interest which appealed very strongly to her hearers. Wilfred Woody, who closed the argument for the negative, was a very interesting speaker. He was a good debater and eAbrought in the controversial element in 1115 such good style as to cause his Oppo- nentsi supporters no little apprehension. It seemed very fortunate, to those HAZEL OSBORN. ELIZABETH YAGER whose interests were with the afhrmative side, that Mr. Miller could close the de-- bate with the rebuttal. He used his time to the best advantage, dealing sledge hammer blows to the arguments of the negative. While the judges were out deciding, the Chico Quartet gave several enter- Our yell leader led us in some very lusty yells which kept us from even imaging the worst. taining selections. When the judges came in and an- nounced that there had been a unani- mous decision in favor of the affxrma- tive, nothing could suppress the glad shouts. of joy that shook the 01d Assem- bly Hall. A great deal of enthusiasm and also a true sportsman-like spirit was dis- played by both sides throughout the af- ternoon. t JOHN MALOY. 116 Smppnaing 31t HEMP 57111 On the ,,,-ex7ening of December 16, 1915, the Christmas class presented an original farce, gSupposing It Were Soft The play, which was particularly clever and amusing, was written by Edna Penniman, one of the members of the graduating class. Inez Cooper, who took the part of the young heroine, was quite realistic. Mr. Bland, who ap- peared as the irate father, and Fiske Wells, the ardent admirer, starred in the performance. Pearl Avery delighted the audience with her violin solos. As the Office boy, Mrs. Bean distinguished herself both in the estimation of the manager and the audience. Edna Penniman, authoress Cf the play, gave a clever interpretation of a ballet dance. 31le Eliearlwa anh 010. One of the most pleasing plays given this year was produeed in the Normal assembly on the evening of March 14, under the proficent leadership of Miss Miller. HMiss Fearless and COW is an enter- taining little thrwee-act farce with plenty of humor scattered throughout. Miss Myrtie Jackson, as Margaret Henley, made a charming young heiress, Miss Edith Crowell, as Miss Euphem- 117 tKGILL,!, HNUF SED,, ia Addison, the 01d maid aunt and chaperone of Miss Henley, gave a very vivid interpretation of a self-centered 01d maid. The part of Sarah Jane Lvovejoy, as taken by Gertrude Tailleur, was con- sidered one of the successes of the eve- ning. uJust Lizzie? the poor ltitle ghost, as acted by Ruth Williams, was decidedly popular with the audience. ' Gladys Ross and Isabelle Cook, as friends and partners of iiMiss Fearless? made their parts very natural and real- istic. Viola Powell, the charming little Irish maid, was very amusing and en- tertaining with her brogue and witty sayings. All through the play, Miss Jackson sustained her part well and gave a most pleasing and satisfying interpretation of the sweet and loveable, but slightly jealous, young woman. The music was furnished by the Training School Orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Sedgwick. Zliulliw nf 1118 iHair Snappy lines, bubbling laughter, light airy comedy, melodrama, music, dancing and fun were all combined in the pro- duction which was given by the Normal Menis Club on the night of February 25th. The plot centered around the big- attractions at the Panama-Paciflc EX- position on the Zone. The scenes, plot, costumes and music were worked out in an original and Very effective way. The main directors of the burlesque were Gilliam Squires, John Squires and joseph Nathanson. The situations were extremely farci- cal and humorous as Viewed by the au- dience, causing one laugh from start to hnish. The cast was composed of fifty people. The main features of the show were: Da Monte, famous accordionist. Art Smith 11 in ascension; The Underground Chinatown. The Great Alexander. Grotesque Prize Fight. In addition to these leading big acts were a score of minor spotlights which revealed the inside life of the Exposi- tion Zone. Each act Was carefully worked out and had dash and spirit. D'a Monte's work was along his usual swinging style. Art Smith 11 proved a sensation as an indoor aviator and was something of a novelty. In Underground. Chinatown, there were wierdly grotesque Oriental scenes, depicting the Chinese in IerEin haunts. Many laughs were provoked by the Chinese fashions and habits. The scenery production, lighting, stage effects and general stage arrange- ment wasthe work of Anthony Texeira, Harold J ewett, Robert Wilson, and Harold Mosher. CAST OF ttFOLLIES OF THE FAIR? Swami Ilirnm Eanih Glnppertielh The entertainment given in honor of Chico on Friday evening, January 21, was a decided success, and what was ac- corded to- be the most successful feature of the evening was the llScenes from David Copperheldf given under the direction of Miss Caro- line Bradley, will long be remembered by lovers of Dickens, as a pleasing and life-like portrayal of some of his best characters. Agnes, as played by Myrtie Jackson, was most sweet and engaging and no one could. well blame David for having lost his heart to her. uinar Sorenseh, who took the part of David Copperfield, was all that one would want that young hero to be, from The production, his faith in his friend Steerforth to his tender regard for Little Emily and the whole Peggoty household. Mrs. Hortense Bean, as Little Emily, took the part with the art Which it need- ed and carried the sympathy of the au- dience with her. The part of old Daniel Peggoty, Which was taken by John Squires, was very well done. The character of Steerforth was very well shown by Gill Squires. Clarence Pearce as Uriah Heep, Ruth Williams as Rosa Dartel, Ella Stalker as Mrs. Barkes, and Ada Lattig as Mrs. Gummage made much of their parts. Robert Wilson as faithfully portrayed lover of Little Emily.

The goal was to swell the rest cottage fund and the production in which the three factions contested for superior dra- matic ability was the method used to gain the desired amount. Senior Show. The Juniors off the stage in a whirl of triumph, the Seniors took charge and varied the program with a few care- fully selected, high class acts. F irst on this program came a charm- ingly worked out May Pole dance. Miss Edith Linck trained her eighth grade girls in this and it was a credit to the JUNIOR CAST Junior Show. The iirst scream 0f the evening was the Junior Show, which was billed as wAn Afternoon at the Country Club? A typical Country Club veranda provid- ed suitable settlng for the various Tistuntsii ranging from vocal solos by Alice Keast and a piano duet by the Cranstoxn girls to the ready wit and comedy of Lydia Innes and Bob Wilson. Gilliam Squires, alias TiComedyii, alias itThe Head VVaiterf was the feature of the bill. Miss Elizabeth Burling played Opposite in song and dance, making a very clever feature. The finale was a unique chorus of girls Who, with uke- leles and guitars, sang for the audience and then surprised them by appearing in their midst with baskets of nosegays for sale. whole show as well as adding greatly to the enjoyment of the audience. A cleverly ambushed whistling duet followed the May pole dance. The feature of the Senior Show was the interpretative dancing by seven of the June class girls. Miss Marian Mc- Intyre was the solo dancer, being assist- ed by the chorus of six in airy-fairy cos- tumes. Miss McIntyre, alias iT-Peggtyf, is a wonderful dancer and her interpre- tations 0f Amaryllis and Mendelsshonis 'iSpring Song, were very beautiful. Moving pictures are common today so the Seniors went back a decade or so and closed their program with three beautifully selected tableau interpreta- tions of famous pictures. The lighting effect was very cleverly arranged for amateurs and the scenery used was very realistic. The llSong of the Lark? por- trayed by Miss Hope Lent, was one of the most beautiful. Faculty Show. When the curtain went up again the audience nearly raised the roof for there on the stage, which had been changed from a garden scene to a typical school room, was our dignified LU faculty. This part of the program was alone well worth the price of admission. The combination of pathos and humor was brought in with real art. The setting of the play was in tlLittle Italyfl New York, and the scene was taken from Myra Kellyis llA Matter of Real Es- tatesx', Mr. Bland was an extremely sympa- l thetic principal but his gentle manners were quite overshadowed by Mr. Wil- son, the gruff old Superintendent.

Although not being able to have a winning team, San Jose Normal may well feel proud of its girls, basketball team. The fact that San Jose lost to Chico this season was nothing extraordinary. There were but two veteran players left from last year's team with which to form a nucleus for a Winning team. N-ewly-elected Manager Phil Sheehy PHIL SHEEHY, Manager. SADIE LANGFORD Captain. and Esther Murphy were left from the 1915 squad. But that fact alone was not all. San Jose Normal had no coach that might drill a scattered mass of. material into an aggressive iighting-machine. It was due to the lack of coaching that the girls failed when the iinal test came for teamwork. Chico had a coach. Chico had teamwork. And Chico won the an- nual game! Score 30-18. Had San Jose been granted the ad- vantages of a good coach and veteran players enough to form a strong nucle- 124 ESTHER M URPHY us, there would have still been one more obstacle that would have had a power- ful influence in the undoing of the team. The players could not secure sufhcient games With teams of standing to give them the practice necessary for the ane nual struggle. Stanford University and California University have changed the time and season for girlsl basketball from the old system of fall practices and games to the new order of playing in the spring and early summer months. The change was made this year. So San Jose State Normal School suffered the consequenc- es. There were no practice games held with either of the two universities. Hitherto the series of games held be- tween San Jose Normal and Stanford University have been of vital importance in girls basketball circles ab0ut San Jose. The local players have depended upon the Stanford women for much of the practice that was necessary in order to make possible the annual defeat of Chico by the girlsl team. When the source of the most effectual practice was undermined by the flood waters of new Stanford ideas. the underpinning and foundation of Normalls hopes caved in and the 1916 basketball Victory was swept away in the triumphant waters of the Butte Mountain basketers. San Jose High Affords Practice. The bi-weekly practices on Monday and Wednesday nights was practically the only practices that were of much value to the girls, squad. Twice a week the high schools girls came over to the Normal gymnasium for a tussel with the more advanced students. San Jose: High had a good team and the practices were invaluable. San Jose Normal ap- preciates the assistance given. Along with the high school players came Prof. R. B. Leland, athletic direc- tor of the high school, and Miss ICelia OiNieil, girls, physical training instruc- tor. The assistance given to the Nor- mal girls by these two physical directors proved of great value. Whatever team- work the local. players displayed in the Chico game was due to the work of Miss OlNeil and Prof. Leland. Miss Hazel VVhitmire and Miss Alice Bassler of the Normal faculty assisted the play- ers wherever possible. About the Team. Following is the 1916 team: Ruby Ernst, forward. Sadie Lang'ford, forward.

When she reached Normal her ability was quickly recognized and she was placed as a team- mate oi Phil Sheehy. Esther has been of great value to the squad. Sadie Langford, who is a San Jose girl, was captain of the team. Her goal throwing is remarkable, and she is con- sidered an all around basket ball player. Ruby Ernst also lives in San J ose and plays a consistent game at forward. Elsie Costa, who comes from Moun- tain View, and her teammate, Loretta Rafters, who is a product of Nevada City, played a clever game in center. Katherine Boyle, Eunice Daniels, and Irene Brown, all of Mendocino County, were the faithful substitutes of the team. All three play a hard game. ,iELSIE COSTA 126 ' w Engzt Eaakpthall HAROLD MO'SHER, ' Alanager v Manager Haroid Mosher began his x season of managership 0f the boyst bas- ketball team at the first of the year with but two veteran players from the 1914- 1915 squad.

The Visitors proved good sports- Game Played at Night. The big game was played Saturday night in the assembly hall. From the start the San Jose boys 10st. The Chico boys were heavy, quick, and knew the game very weil. It stands to reason that from a list of seventy boys enrolled in the school there should be five who could play basketball in whirlwind style. The Chico boys had just finished a strenuous season of football.. They were in shipshape condition and felt like fighting. It might well be noted that when husky men are picked from a football team that can defeat the crack Stanford University Freshmen footballers, they should form a strong basketball team. It was, therefore, some little time after the game had started before the San J ose lads had adjusted themselves to the onslaughts of Chico. First Half. During the first half of the game the Chico lads pulled away from the San Jose representatives, leaving the score at the end of this frame 32 to 13. The locals had fought hard. T hey were tired. But they were game to the core. They resolved to die hard. Meanwhile the Chicoiplayers appeared to be growing over-confident. Second Half. When the second half began everyone in the assembly hall was standing. San J ose was piling up score after score and throwing basket after basket, to the chagrin of the visitors. The Gold and e White bearers were fast gaining an the long lead held by Chico. All that re- mained was a limit of time that threat ened to cut off the game while the vis- itors were still ahead. And that is ex- actly what happened. The score was :' Chico, 38; San Jose, 34. CLARENCE PEARCE 128 ARTHUR DORR How They Lined Up. The San Jose team lined up as fol- lows: Harold Jewett, forward.

Three hundred and fifty girls, wear- ing yellow hats and cloaks and white hats and cloaks, formed the huge block 75. J .7 0n the bleachers, that made such an impression on the visitors. The way the girls yelled! T heir yells fairly made the hall ring. And the players benefited. During the second half of the boysi game the rooters decided they would boost the team with added cheers. Dur- ing the entire half the rooting section was fairly alive with waving hats, etc., and the cheers and songs were kept up incessantly. The result was almost dis- astrous t0 the Chico players. HAROLD J EWETT This year has been a hne year for ten- nis, and but one thing has hindered the progress of the sport in our school. This is the lack of room. We haverft enough courts. If the team wished to practise a great many others would be crowded out, and without practise a team cannot do its best work. M anager Jackson. In the choice of manager we were extremely fortunate. Miss Myrtie Jack- son was chosen by the student body to take care of the tennis interests of San Jose Normal. To be the most efficient manager of a team, one must know the MYRTIE JACKSON 120m WHUAMS. ALFRED ,HIBBS game well if nOt play it. Miss Jackson not only understands the game thor- oughly but plays it well. Duringthe fall Miss Jackson took part in the Naglee Park T o-urnaments and brought no small honor to herself by winning the Santa Clara County Single Champion.- ship for women. With such a manager as an example, any team should. do its best work. Tryouts. T hrough the efforts of Miss Jackson a tournament was arranged with the High School for the possession of the 130 CLEO RIORDEN trophy offered by the Bolsch-ken Hard- ware Company. Tryouts were held during the fall months, and many inter- esting games were played. The closest contests were for the position of mixed doubles. The first contest was between Clarence Pearce and Cleo Rolr'den vs. C. Fiske Wells and Hazel Osborn, with the Victory going to the latter. Then it remained for this team to play the vet- erans, Herbert Hunn and Myrtie Jack- son. This event was won by Mr. Wells and Miss Osborn. The Tournament. The trophy tournament was held at Nagle Park. The day was ideal and the courts were in their usual good condi- tion. The events were played on two different days. The first day the mixed doubles, boysi singles and girls singles were played, and on the following day the doubles, both boys and girls. Mixed doubles played by Alfred Hibbs and Hazel Osborn. for Normal vs. High School, and resulted in a victory for the Normal. Boysi singles was played by C. Fiske Wells for Normal vs. High School, and- was won by the High School. Miss Cleo Rolrden of Normal won the girls singles against the High School, and that d-ay,s events were over. The next day, boys, doubles, played by Clar- ence Pearce and Herbert Hunn, and the girls doubles, played by Geneva Mar- cellus and Katherine Eliot, for the Nor- mal, were both won by the High School, giving them 'the tournament and the tro- phy to hold until the next tournament, when we hope to return the compliment. We lost the tournament but we had some good games and we found our 0p- .ponents sports and worthy opponents. Although not a year of great Victor- ious tournaments this has been a year of enjoyment and better health through the medium of the tennis courts. And if San J ose Normal did not have a Victory to her credit, she would have something bf infinitely more value, the knowledge that the interests of tennis had been ef- ficiently cared for, and that there are steadier nerves and healthier bodies, due to the use of her tennis courts. Let us hone that in the future we shall always find this to be true and that tennis will always find a ready interest in the hearts of the students. HAZEL OSBORN 131 .111 1 ! :4 i mull lllllll 1 m1 When Manager George Boehmer 0f the 1916 baseball team took his squad of bvaseblallers to Santa Cruz Saturday, May 13, and defeated the Santa 'Cruz high school nine 12 t0 2, he concluded a successful season for the San Jose State Normal School. The baseball team has had an unusual year. It was in spite of tremendous handicaps that at first threatened to weigh the team down to defeat, that the eam was successful. Although the team received a strong stimulus at the first of the year by the '1' mllllh Manager. 13111 1 111111111111an 1 1 1 eTEEXEIRA SMITH Captain. earnest endeavors of former manger, Henry N inas, when he left, thenine was suddenly thrown upon its own resources. It was in this critical stage that the helm of the ship was taken by George Boehmer. Bovehmer had always been an enthusiast over the baseball team,ks work and progress. When the ship: was hand- ed over to his care, he took it With the precision and! command of a veteran and piloted the nine around the shoals and hidden rocks of defeat into the harbor of Victory. 132 LITZENBERG Dave Smith, Captain. When the ball comes into the first- sach territory, there is little fear of its getting away. Dave Smith, the pluckv patrol of the initial base, keeps his heail at all times and lands the long, diflicult throws with little trouble. As a pitcher, Smith, as captain, took possession of the mound. As a pitcher, he has proved himself to be without criticism. How- ever, there was no one who could. hold down the first sack as Dave could. When Lichtenberger showed up, Dave went to MOSHER LUCKENSMEYER the place which proved best for the en- tire team. Smith had the responsibility of cap- tain of the squad for the entire year. As captain, he worked incessantly. Smith took hold of the players with a vim and has proved a big aid to the team. Harold Mosher, Baseman. Harold Mosher at second base has proved his ability as a baseman. At the second sack, he has been a consistent defender of the Gold and Whites stand- ard. Mosher, being of slight stature, makes a wonderful man on grounde'rs that burn their way down the infield and make for the little second-saCk defend- er. He scoops them up and passes them to Dave Smith, at first, Without error. However, when it comes to high air cruisers that swoop over the second base at average height, Mosher loses. His reach is his only handicap. Grant Lucken-smeyer, Catcher. Behind the opposing play'er'sl bat there has constantly been two sturdy arms that took care of all balls that passed the batsman, and two sharp, watchful eyes that took in the inheld and outfield problems and situations at a single glance. Grant Lurckensmeyer, catcher, was the receiving end of the 1916 Normal team. The position of 133 back to their bench. He must have a strong arm for base-throwing and care- ful judgment in catching base-stealers. 1n. the selection of a man to fill this re- sponsible position, Grant Luckensmey- er,s name was suggested and at once accepted. He has proved his worth. Clarence Pearce, Fielder. For fear that some slugger 0n the 0p- pesing team would take advantage of the fielders at some unexpected moment and send one of the fast iiies over their heads, San Jose Nbrmalis manager and captain placed Clarence Pearce in the tall timbers 0f the outfield. Here a re- markable reach combined With long swift legs formed a combinaton that made one-third of the outfield impene- PEARCE trable. Pearce has made good in the outfield. catcher on any baseball team is one that is moist carefully considered by baseball magnates in the selection players, and is least carefully considered by the gen- eral populace Which witnesses the games played. , Upon the intelligence, integrity, and decision of the catcher, largely depends the success of the team. The catcher must know the Opposing playersi weak and strong points. He must be able to communicate to the pitcher orders and directions for sending opposing batters Arthur Lichtenberger, Pitcher. iiSmoke,, Lichtenberger, as he is sometimes called on account of the tre- mendous speed that he puts the ball to, is the strong arm of the battery. He actually has pitched such speedy balls across the plate that the opposing bats- man swung long after the ball was safe- 1y settled in the big catcheris glove worn by Luckensmeyer. Control and curves made Lichtenberger a pitcher to be feared by all batters Who face him. 134 KIRBY James Kirby, Baseman. There will always be remembered by the baseballers of San Jose Normal a thirdbaseman by the name of ttJimmie. As defender of the third sack, inmmieii Kirby fought and fell for his school. Many a time the day has been saved by this tall baseball enthusiast. Many de-- mands are made upon the third sacker. These demands were always met by James in a manner most suitable to San Jose Nrormal. Bryan Dillingham, Fielder. 'J.he heavy-hitters had no terrOrs to offer to Bryan Dillingham. Out in the tall grasses, he was in his glory. Dil- lingham played baseball in Mendocino before he came to- San Jose Normal. When the Normal offered baseball as one of the sports in which he might in- dulge, there was little hesitancy on his part as to where he belonged. He took his place as outfielder, and there played a commendable game. In going out for . the national game, Bryan was only keeping up the family reputation. His brother, Melvin, made a name for him- self last year on .the San Jose Normal nine. Charles Wauhab, Shortstop. The nickname of iiPing Bodieh was given Wauhab th the early part of the season because of the remarkable show- ing made by him at the bat. Wauhab was considered one of the heaviest hit- ters on the team. When he advances to the plate there is a perceptible retreat of the fielders in almost every game played. This fact alone would; go to show what light W'auhab stood in, as one of the batsmen of Normal iiPing Bodiei, Wauhab was one of the mainstays of the Normal infield. In the position of shortstop, he was one of the best. Here he dashed into a fast grounder. There he caught a hard by. Again he would be seen calmly waiting for a bpoti, fly to drop into his unfailing glove. Charles Wauhab, shortstop, aid- ed in making last season one of success. Cledith Trimble, Fielder. Cledlith Trimble is one of the main- stays of the tall grasses. At his official position in the field, he is one of the most dependable of the baseballers. When the opposing squad delivers one of those smashing drives that puts the ball in line for the outheld fence, Trimble is always under the ball ready to- receive it in his unfailing glove. T rimbleis judg- ment of Hies is good. Many fielders fail .to make good in the outfield because they are unable to judge the ball at the time that the ball has barely left the batteris swing. Trimble possesses that remark- able facility of judgment that has made him one of the chief players on the team this season. DILLINGHAM .135 DORR Arthur Dorr, Fielder. Arthur Dorr is an all-around athlete. He is active, reliable, judicious, and fast on his feet. Dorr is a new man in San, Jose Normal. He has just finished his first season on the Normal team. Next year he will be much improved. Dorris batting average is good. His hitting is one of the things of which the team best knows and for which he is most respect- ed. H arold Jewett, Fielder. Harold Jewett, who needs no intro- duction in the world of athletics, is one of the dependable players in the out- field. He plays a fast and yet steady game. He is known as one of the best pinch hitters in the school. Whenever the time comes for a hit and run to be made in order that the game be wOn, Jewett is the man sent into the battens box.

It was crowded with good times Which strengthened the bond of friend- ship and created memories that will re- main with everyone in all the years that come and go. Beginning with the J unior-Senior Farewell, we had that glorious morning of song and? dance. Who will forget the White-robed girls as they marched from the three sections singing ?- HOld Normal, how we love you, Hear us sing to you our praise, iTis from you we're gaining knowledge As to guide thru future days. This knowledge from our books And from true friendshipis golden rule Will make us all remember San Jose State Normal Scho-ol. And what more beautiful than the Seniors promise of allegiance to their Alma Mater, and the silent farewell sa-- lute to the Library, T raining School and Class Rooms, and the strains of tlAlohaii bursting forth into the tense stillness. T hen next came class night, with its original propaganda by the graduates, and the receptions where every door was thrown open for re-unions and a gen- eral good time. The delivery of diplomas came next, the congratulations and the parting friends. Such a wonderful week and one to be long remembered. Gllazm Night lHagmnt The plan chosen for the Class Night pageant this year is one of unusual sim- plicity and beauty. The arrangements have been in the hands of a very capable committee and we are glad that they evolved a plan so significant in its ap- plication and so characteristic of our life here. The personnel of the commit- tee is: Gertrude Biggs, Florence Burns, Wilma Cheatham, Ruth Firehammer, Einar Sorenseon, Dorothy Uren, An- thony Texeira. Zinninr-Sveninr illaremvll The one day Of all the Senior year which brings the saddest yet sweetest memories is J unior-Senior day, when the juniors bid the Seniors their formal farewell. It is the last time the Seniors are known as such, and it brings the realization that 011 the morrOW they Will no longer be students of ttdear old San Jose Normalfl but just members of the busy throng that goes to make up the world. T hroughout the year there has been pleasant rivalry and class spirit between the classes, but on this last day all this is laid aside, and the two classes meet as good comrades and the Juniors place upon the heads of the Seniors the crown of good will and friendship. The. Seniors go forth knowing that they are leaving behind them a class worthy to fill their places and they know that this class Will be as loyal to their Alma Mater as they have been. Junio-r-Senior day is always presided over by the president of the Senior class and her royal court; This year Miss Elise Ball is our Queen, and a very roy- al one she is. Always interested in school activities, and willing to do her part, Miss Ball has made a host 01 friends who are very willing to do her homage. Her court consists of twenty- four girls of the Senior class. T hey are: Emily McCurdy, Lorraine Wessing, Eudora Scott, Maude Putman, Elaine Norton, Esther D001, Marion McIntyre, Ruth Bmulger, Evelyn Ghiorzo, Martha Lauriston, Irene Hewitt, Edna Buck, Viola Lynch, Mary Carroll, Xavie Reager, Marion F arney, Alta Lewis, Wilma 'C'heatham, Esther Scott, Louise Thomas, Elizabeth Stephens, Miriam Proctor, Vivian Gardiser, Mildred Min- aker. As the Queen slowly proceeds from the building to here throne twelve of her court come from the throne to meet her and twelve follow her, upon the plat- form. After she is seated the Junior class in different groups come before her presence and present with singing and dancing, the symbol of each group. T hese various groups represent school spirit, art and literature, music, and sci- ence. After the dances are linished the Seniors pass before the Juniors and bid them the last farewell, the Aloha 0f the year. 139 Glnmmmwmmt anmmittpw CLASS NIGHT. . ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The year began With a reunion picnic last September at Alum Rock. The af- ternoon was- spent in splashing in the natatorium and then came supper, songs, and ukeleles around the camp fire. Following closely upon the picnic, came a luncheon for some of the new girls. The place chosen was OlBrienis messanine. Lotta Bland entertained the girls at her home shortly after the luncheon. Jerome Da Monte, the won- derful little accordionist, played thru- out the evening for dancing and for en- tertainment. One of the large affairs of the year was the October initiation when twenty girls became members of Saopho. The initiation took place in the Kindergarten room and was followed by a banquet in Society Hall. The good times for January were a tea in Societv Hall and initiation at Gladys Llaughlinis home. After Eliza- beth Case, Alberta Mitchell. Edith Stewart and Esther Sullivan had be- come full-Hedged members of Sappho. a deliciOus supper was served. A new custom has been introduced in Sappho of having informal meetings monthly at the homes of the members. Catherine Cassin and Lotta Bland op- ened their homes for these get-together meetings. . S-appho is very proud of her faculty members and it is customary to give a dinner in their honor every spring. This year the happy occasion was a Japanese dinner. The decorations, favors, enter- tainment, and, in fact, everything ex- cept the menu, was Japanese. The mem- bers of the faculty whom the girls en- joy entertaining are: Dr. D'ailey, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Wood, Mr. Spaulding, Miss McCabe, Mrs. George, Miss MacKenzie, Miss Wunderlich, Miss Fisher, Mrs. Schroeder, Miss Trimble, Miss Bassler, Miss Whitmire7 Miss Miller, Miss Mc- Dermott, and Mr. Boyle. Sappho hoped to initiate a new mem- ber this spring. Some of us. saw her at the Exposition and admired her. She is coming all the way from Italy to take up her abode on a pedestal in the library. On account of the war she has been detained, so that we shall not be able to introduce her to you this term. The girls who are saying good-bye to Sappho are: Reuby Barnhart, Kathryn Cassin, Amelia Christy, Mabel Crooks, Irene Cuneo, Ruth Everding, Margaret Fitch, Florence Hunter, Marion Miller, Marguerite Pratt, Marion Quinlan, Vera T homas, Florence George, Marion Far- ney. The girls who will be active Sapphos next year are: Cara Blarnhart, Caroline Beckwith, Carolyn Connick, Elizabeth Case, Bernice Fegan, Ruth Frates, Marion Harmon, Alberta Mitchell, Wil- ma Kane, Olive Kent, Gladys Laughlin, H elen McElroy, Doris McMillan, Evelyn Moran, Gertrude OiKeefe, Marie Perry, Ruth P'elton, Catherine Saunders, Phyllis Shaw, Wilda Shaw, Anna Smith, Jessie Smith, Mildred Speckens, Florence T herien, Edith Stewart and Esther Sullivan. 142 Esther Sullivan Helen McElroy Gertrude CYKeefe.

Allen. The past year has been one of de- lightful memories and happy friendships for Allenian. The new group of girls have done much to further the spirit of good fellowship fostered by the old members. The bond of friendship loyal and true will live long in the hearts of these girls, who have sought to carry on the high ideals of the man from whom the society takes its name, Pro- fessor Allen, for many years president of this school. Early in September, the first rush par- ty was held at the home of Irene Hewitt. This informal reception gave the mem- bers an opportunity of meeting many of the charming new girls, -who had come to Normal. The following week, an informal tea , with the motif of artistic, impromptu dances and solos by Bess Kreiss, was given in Society Hall. The formal breakfast at the Vendome closed the rushing festivities. This daintily appointed affair proved a most enjoyable occasion. i Annette Mitchellis home was the scene of initiation. In the course of the evening, Allenian welcomed as new members: Reva Lawlor, Adelaide Rus- Coe, Nell Bowen, Esther Merkey, Genevieve Shea, Ynez Robertson and Beatrice Miller. Dorothea Ball entertained, early in December, with a delightful dance at the Country Club. At Christmas time, three of our most prominent members were graduated, Annette Mitchell, Caroline Bedwell, and Emily R'ued. During the autumn, Har- riet Iver returned to her home in Des Mo-ines, and Nell Bowen left in January to enter Stanford. and this A jolly party was given at Reva Law- loris home, in January. Dancers, songs and merry making whiled away the pleasant hours. Bess Kreiss was hostess at initiation, early in February. At this time, Allen- ian welcomed into her membership: Ruby Reckart, Lillian Bambauer, Marie Hayden, Miriam Veal, Ina Cochran, and Cleo Rorden. Allenian was hostess to her faculty members at a formal dinner, early in March. The honored guests were Miss Anna Strong; recently Come from Co- lumbia University to assist in Kinder- garten, and Miss Evans, assistant li- brarian. These new faculty members joined Allenian at this time. The only member to graduate in March was Dorothea Ball. An outdoor Grill on April 14;, at Alum Rock, was a merry gathering of faculty and students. Mrs. George, Miss Payne and Miss Howe all contributed their quota to the fun-making. During the spring trem, Allenian gave an entertainment, the proceeds of which were given to the Allen memorial fund. We were hostesses for the last time this year, throughout commencement week, to our friends and Allenian alum- n1 The faculty members of Allenian are: Miss Howe, Mrs. George, Miss Royce, Miss Payne, Miss McFadden, Miss Sprague, Mr. Martin, Miss Rowell, Mr. Wilson, Miss Reubsam, Miss Strong and Miss Evans.

Em Sophian opened the fall term by a party at the home of Roma MeGriff. After the lapse of the summer months, this little gathering was thoroughly en- joyed by all. y The same week a number of girls were escorted by the Ero Solphians to a theatre party, and on to OiBrienis. This was followed by a tamale feed in South Society Hall. The faculty mem- bers invited were: Mr. and Mrs. Wii- son, Miss McFadden, Miss Post, Miss Enid Kinney and Mrs. George. The formal initiation Of Eros Solphiau was held in the private dining room of Hotel Vendome, where tables were beautifully laid for thirty-hve guests. Two Of the prettiest weddings 0f the season were of two of our former mem- bers, Misses Elizabeth Cross'ley and Mildred Wadsworth, which we attended in a body. Several times the homes of Esther D001, Roma McGriff, and Ruby Ernst were graciously Opened to, the girls and their friends. wMowena Keaf given for the benefit of the rest cottage, was the last big event given by Ero Sorphians before the Christmas holidays. After several minor parties we held informal initiation at the home of Mrs. Mildred Crossley. One Of the most enjoyable evenings Where has it gone? All too- of the term was spent at the dance given to Er'o Sophian girls and their friends: at the Country Club by Gladys Ross. In January we defeated Chico by our ttLoeal Nocturne? Just before the spring vacation So- ciety Hall was the scene of a quaint Irish Tea given to the entire faculty.

One warm, sunny afternoon, the Brownings entertained a number of their friends at O,Brienis. In October, Browning was delighted to welcome into her midst the following members: Ada Gerkey, Lucille Craig, Irma Ridely, Vivian Denhart, Grace Montgomery, and one of our faculty members, Miss VVelte. The initiation was held at the home of Waleska Kerl and Estelle Hoisholt. A Christmas dance held at the Women's Club ended the social life for the first term of this year. We were sorry to lose Margaret Thomayer, 'a graduate of the Christmas class, and also Maybelle Mitchell, who preferred married life to Normal life. The social affairs of the winter term opened with a most enjoyable pink party at the home of Lucille Craig. Later in the term, at the home of Eleanor Chapman, Browning welcomed several new members into her secrets. These were: Lyla Baer, Mabel Soren- son, Ada Fish, Fern Kilburn, Frances Huntington, Mildred Kyle, Edith Kyle, Vivian Bolton, F lorence Mann, Ruth Garratt, Ruth Larkey and Alta Sims. Probably the largest social affair of this term was the dinner in honor of the Normal faculty. It was a springtime party held in the society hall, at which all members of the faculty were pres- ent Several picnics in the spring brought the girls together as real friends. April 29th found the girls enjoying a spring dance, in the north wing of the Normal building. In June, the Juniors entertained the graduating Seniors, who Were: Edna Carlson, Vera Hill, Lola Weaver, Ada Gerkey, Helen Kirtland, F rances Shaw, Lorraine W'essing, Ruth Larkey, Eleanor Chapman, VValeska Kerl, Vivian Gardiser, Faith Hemphill, Esther Hartung, Ruth Garr'att, and Frances Huntington.
