The members of the class of 1912, working together, have endeavored to make this book a fitting Memorial for their last year ' s work in the Western Illinois State Normal School. To JOHN E. McGILVREY a thoro student, a firm friend, an ideal teacher, this ninth volume of the Sequel is dedicated by the class of 1912. SEQUEL IN MEMORIAM • Altho almost a year has passed, it seems but a few days since our loved and honored Principal walked among us and with us in our school life. In the splendid life of Alfred Bayliss there was no hint of show or disposition to augment self; but his modest manly bear- ing soon made one aware that he was a strong man in no hurry to be known; or we may better say a man so truly devoted to life ' s work that he was fgrgetful of all self-assertion. He grew in our minds daily. At first we thought him austere, but his perfect candor soon dispelled our fears; his fairness made us trust him; his patient consideration of every phase of our difficulties, and his clear judgment, his open statement, and his helpful advice led us to honor him; his keen sympathy and cheering humor made us love him. He was a man of so substantial character that he seemed entirely indifferent to appearance, and no hint of affectation was ever seen in any act of his, but the minutest detail essential to any matter seemed never to escape him. One could not know Mr. Bayliss on short acquaintance, and many students have testified to the change of impression of him with time. With his entrance upon the work as principal of the school, there was a noticeable coldness on the part of the student body, which lasted in lessening degree thru the first year and part of the second. A few leading spirits of his first class, 1907, began to know him and led in the movement to place a large granite boulder on the campus and had inscribed on it his name and the class. It was the first real ex- pression of appreciation of his worth. His influence with the stud- ent body grew gradually and as naturally as grows the grass and flowers. This influence was not the result of brilliance on his part, not of telling speeches, nor of emotional interest, nor any of those things which so often make a man popular. It was the slow but nor- mal growth of the student mind into a knowledge of his clear grained human worth and a complete reliance -on his honesty, his judgment, and his good will. We feel that it was most unfortunate that he should pass from us just when his real influence was beginning to be felt in the Military Tract thru his work in the Normal School. Some of the significant problems that he wished to further towards solution are the better- ment of the one room school and how to bring the Normal School into more vital relations to the same, out of which grew the Country Club ; the following up of the Alumni in way of helpful criticism of their work in the public school with the purpose of awarding a second di- ploma for Assured Success is a most wise and beneficial measure; and the work of Normal School Extension is now looked upon most favorably by the leading superintendents of the Military Tract, both county and city superintendents. He gave emphasis to the courses in Agriculture, Domestic Science, Manual Training and others. His policy seemed to be to attain the practical in all things. To him men and women are valuable in the world for what they can and will do. We lament the loss of our great leatler, but we feel that it was our good fortune to have known him and to have been privileged to catch some inspiration from his life so noble in thought and action. The impress of his life is left in the Western Normal School and will not pass. When we think of high ideals of manly honor, of devotion to duty, of standing for the Square Deal of the spirit of helpfulness, of the courage that knows no compromise with wrong-doing, and of a life of purity, both public and private, our thoughts will revert to our honored, loved and trusted Principal, Alfred Bayliss.

Page Thirty SEQUEL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Since the people in the class of 1912 did not all enter this school at the same time, it will be necessary to begin this history with the first enrollment of the members of the earlier group. In the autumn of 1906 about ninety boys and girls entered this school, most of them by the I indley Scholarship route. During the first year, room 6, now used by the Household Arts Department, was utilized as a study hall and recitation room. Miss Caroline Grotc spent her first year in this school in charge of that room, teaching most of the classes. Without thought of boasting it can be said that this class did ex- ceptional work in the recitation room. The few who drifted into the ranks of the Hunkers dropped from school in a short time and the remaining members of the class were able to maintain their high standards of work. Thruout the four years of the Academy course this class held its honorable reputation. The present Amateurian Literary Society was organized the first year. A constitution was drawn and other matters were arranged. Since that time, the Society has been continuous and has produced some good material for the older Societies. In athletics we have enjoyed many victories. The Class Cham- pionship Banner for Field and Track Athletics was won the first year and has been held against every class since that time. Almost every team that has represented this school in any sport has been proud to claim one or more members of the class of 1912. At the beginning of the Junior year, there were few left who had entered in 1906 but with those who had joined us in our march thru the Academy and the energetic group from high schools far and near, the class numbered more than forty. The courses prescribed in the first year ' s work were taken up with vigor and pursued intensely. The Spring term of the Junior year found most members of the class doing actual teaching in the Training School with excellent results. The Senior year beginning in September 1911, opened with num- bers much reduced. About one half of the members began practice teaching and the other half taught during the second term. The work this year has been heavy but none the less enjoyable. In the years that we have worked together and played together there have been formed many close friendships that make us look to the time of parting with a feeling of sadness, but as the past as a whole has been enjoyable so may the future of this class of 1912. Page Thirty-one SEQUEL Boston, Massachusetts, June, 2, 1932. My Dear Countess ' : — Doesn ' t it seem perfectly grand to be receiving letters by that title? I never dreamed that I ' d ever be writing to a r-eal, live Coun- tess, and an old friend at that. Just think — Countess Gertrude Myers W ' ilhelmina! Oh how gorgeous! You certainly have read in the papers that yesterday was the 20th anniversary of our 1912 grad- uating class. It takes me back to the old days spent at W. I. S. N. S. You shared a year of it, so you can appreciate my joy at receiving a few weeks ago, an invitation from the former class president to attend a grand celebration. I understood the party was to be an affair in the air. But can you imagine my surprise, on aUghting from my Wright 190 , in finding that our old friend George Rausch was the mechanical head of the whole affair? I remember how he used to use all his time in making little toys and chair-like refrigerators for solid comfort in old age, but the idea of his ever turning mechanical is be- yond my comprehension. George told me that much of his success with air-craft was due to the advice received from Grover Matthews, the bee-keeper. Matthews had learned the secret of avaition thru careful study of the bees. George seemed delighted to see me and said that I might like to see another old friend whom he considered a great help in his work. As we approached a man lying under a heavy engine pounding a large bolt with a young sledge hammer, and who was on the verge of pro- fanity, he jumped up and came forward with a loud greeting. I was afraid of him, but George laughed and said, Why don ' t you remem- ber Guy Hoyt? I had always expected Guy to be a minister and my amazement nearly took my senses. Next George asked me if I wouldn ' t like to see some other old friends before the crowd assembled. He conducted me to the for- ward end of our great airship where we found Russell Browning, reading the Chicago Daily Comic, now edited by Anne Long. Mr. Browning told me that he heartily approved of her editorials and he said the fact that women are now voting is due to Anne. On second observation I noticed the bright red suit, adorned with brass buttons that Browning wore. When I asked him the cause of the loud suit, Page Thirty-two he informed me in a dignified manner, that Mr. Rausch wished a man in his employ who was strong as an ox and had a very musical voice, so that the stations might be called out plainly. Just then two men came on board dressed in clerical suits and I inquired as to who they were. Don ' t you know ? Why, it is Lester Smith, the world ' s greatest evangelist, and George Salisbury, the U. S. Y. M. C. A. Secretary. I was going to ask about some of the other members, when Daisy Gesler came running up in great excite- ment and said that her husband had caught the criminal. And I didn ' t even know she was married! But on inquiring I found that her husband was the United States Marshal. George excused him- self for a few minutes and as he and Daisy left, I amused myself by going down from the air ship and walking around a block. There I met a beautifully dressed lady, whom I soon recognized as Helen Brinck. She told me she was giving dancing lessons now, but the flesh she was taking on aggravated the trouble she had with her foot. Very soon we were talking over old times, and as she was well ac- quainted there, she took me around a few blocks to see the sights. My first bewilderment came on finding a large building which appeared to be an astronomical building or laboratory. This was dedicated to and bore the name in huge letters, FLORINE FULKERSON. I also found that Florine had the contract for the publication of all the almanacs published by the Peruna Company. AVe were suddenly startled by the scream of a whistle and knew that in a few minutes our ship would fly. We returned as quickly as possible and on the way overtook two ladies dressed alike. We dis- covered them to be Elva McDowell and Marion Ruddell, who in- formed us that they had charge of the Ralph Switzer Laine School in Switzer Ohio. They told us that this Mr. Switzer was our old friend Ralph, who had now become one of the world ' s greatest scientists. Almost as soon as we boarded the ship it started and we were on our way. On board we saw almost all our old friends. In a few min- utes I heard Browning say in his deep, powerful voice, Two miles beneath us is the great Gem Opera House. This is where Eva Finlay and Evelyn Wyne are starring in a vaudeville stunt. It is the same show of which Paul Leach is Proprietor. As these three were on board I lost no time in hurrying to them for explanation and found SEQUEL that they had gradually climbed the ladder of fame by constant prac- tice under the directorship of our old class-mate, Sadie Dickinson. I began to get very much excited over the success of our class-mates and inquired into the occupation of each. Audre Smick informed me in a low, convincing voice that she was now a political speaker, and that woman should be no longer down trodden. Lenore Stephens was dressed like a French doll, and said she was posing as a model for Sorensen Co. Aren ' t you surprised at Alfred Sorensen operating a ladies fur- nishing store? They say his wife drove him to it, by talking fa shions to him till he really became interested. Gertrude Kessel told me she also lived in Switzer, Ohio, and was first assistant in the Switzer School. Mary Vanderburg has married a wealthy New York banker and says that life is a perfect dream. Someone presented me with a little booklet and asked me to read it carefully. On close observation I found the author to be Ruth Strosnider, and the title — could you ever have guessed it? The Advantages of a City without Men ! The book ' s preface was written by Marguerite Hunter, also a resident of that peculiarity. I always thought Nora Humberd would be a society lady, and her costume was simply immense. They tell me she married a wealthy retired farmer and is now spending his vast fortune. Just about dusk the messenger from the wireless station came with a message of greet- ing from Emma Callihan. She is in Germany at present, teaching in Berlin University. By this time it was dark and Ben West came over and. said, See that great light off north? That ' s my station. He then told me he was chief United States weather forecaster. We soon arrived at our destination; and I want you to know I have great classmates. The only thing that makes a drawback- is the present occupation of myself. Alas! I am only a teacher in Phy- sics and German, but probably that ' s an accomplishment, considering the hard time I had mastering them. Now please write to me once in a while and see if you can find a lord or a duke wanting a nice, quiet wife. Your Old Pal, Charlotte E. Lanius.

' 11, the .lunior Devils and Faculty Spooks were entertained by the Senior Ghosts in the (iymnasiuni. The guests as they arrived were led by Senior ghosts up and down winding stairs, thru dark rooms, tluu windows; and then into the gymnasium which was lighted up with pumpkins, and decorated with leaves, and had two homes for fortune tellers placed in incon- spicuous corners. After all had gathered in the Clymnasium, games were played. At 9 p. m. masks were removed and laughter rang thru the hull when unknown faces became known. Light refreshments were served, consisting of eider, pumpkin pie, sandwiches, and apples. . 11 expressed themselves as having had a delightful time. INDOOR PICMC AT STEPHENS One day in ye merrie month of Mae, Robin Hood and his men gathered ' neath the greenwood tree to give with jest and song and drinks of English ale, a gude and hearty time to the guests of Senior girls and boys. Ye faculty and theyr gude wives. Ye Greenwood tree — the great oak in the center of Sherwood forest was of course the trysting place. Underneath its spreading boughs the milkmaids danced; a garland drill, choruses and other entertainments were carried on. Ye Robin Hood Inn stood in one corner where ye ale was served in blue .steins to all who thirsted. Robin Hood dressed in a suit of Lincoln green carrying his bow and arrows and Maide Marian dressed in white with garlands of pink and white roses and crowned with red roses greeted the guests and bade them have a gude and merrye time. Maide Marian. The Class of ' 12, when the golden days of autumn came, decided a genuine picnic would be the best social activity in which it could in- dulge. So plans were made for this event on October 30th, but the weather man got his signals confused and sent us rain instead of sun- shine. Miss Lenore Stephens came to the rescue by offering the class the privilege of holding an indoor picnic at her home. The large majority of the members were present when the fun began and it was fun too. Our Hostess amused her guests by the clever performance of her pet dog. After many interesting games were played and very stable refreshments served, the class adjourned feeling happier than if the weather had been delightful.

I. S. N., for several of the teachers have talked about the attentive and interesting Junior class. In social affairs we are preeminent. About three weeks after school began we planned a wienie roast and with Mr. and Mrs. Wal- rath as chaperons went to the waterworks park after school. There the boys made a big bonfire and we roasted wienies, made coffee, and heated baked beans. Oh, we had plenty to eat for we are fond of good things as Mr. Basset knows from the disappearance of a choice cake, plate and all, which he thoughtlessly left in the Geography rec- itation room. After our supper had been duly eaten and talked about we had speeches from various members of the company, then w ' e per- formed a sort of Indian war dance around the fire, or so an onlooker might have called it from the excitement. Look at the number of athletes from our class who made good in basket ball and foot ball. Why we can even boast having the foot ball captain of this year and next. In oratory too, we excel. How about Stephens who represented the W. I. S. N. in the Inter-Normal Oratorical contest? The following song: Good bye, old Seniors Farewell to you, Stephens and Thompson Are too much for you. Each man ' s a wonder Clear thru and thru. They ' ve talked like thunder It ' s all up with you. expresses our standing exactly. Last but far from being least, our class loyally upholds its members who participate in school affairs. It is our class which leads the cheer- ing and yelling that so heartens and encourages our teams. I am sure every one will agree that the Junior class of W. I. S. N. is the most loj ' al class to itself in school. Page Forty SEQUEL TWELFTHGRADE Page Forty-one SEQUEL I FLORENCE ALLISON, Macomb. By diligence she wins her way. ROSCOE ROST, ■■Rocky , Macomb.

We will admit however, that our class has not in the past had much time to come together socially, but has spent all of its super- fluous energy in helping the purple and gold to proudly float above the streamers of its many competitors. But this one sided display of only physical prowess was relieved of its monotony by the advent of a class party which occured December seventeenth, nineteen hundred and eleven. THE CLASS PARTY The party was a Christmas affair given at the home of our class president, Edward Norton, Jr. For fear that some of the members of the class should lose their way and spend the evening wandering about trying to find it, we were guided to the place by a most magnificient sign placed over the door of om- host ' s home which read, W. I. S. N. S. 1912. The evening was spent with games and music and at a late hour delicious refreshments were served, after which Ed announced that Santa Claus had paid us a visit during the evening. He then passed around slips of paper on which were written the place where we would find our present. There was a general rush and then the noise began. The majority of the presents proved to be musical instruments, so a number of orchestras were immediately formed and the music which followed would have but a brass band in the shade. The crowd dispersed at a late hour and each and all pronounced our class pres- ident to be a royal entertainer and a genial host.

Our first two years as Ninth and Tenth Graders was a period in which we, in a way, lay dormant. Our best energies and qualities were not destined to be brought to light until our Junior Academic year, when we had imbibed enough knowledge to show them to our best advantage. And yet we are not only noted for coming into the limelight, but we have as diligently done Mr. Hursh ' s bidding through the trials and tribulations of five cjuarters of English. We have faithfully written documents and term papers for Mr. Dickerson in three cjuarters of Modern History. Many of us have also devoted some of our spare minutes to translating those perfectly easy German sentences for Miss Olsen, and last but not least, those Euclidian prop- ositions of which Mr. Ginnings is so fond. In literary lines we have excelled. Several of the members of our class have held important offices in the two older literary societies during the year. Five of our class were in the cast of the Senior play, As You Like It. In the class contest we were declared champions in debate. Our team, Walters and Chaney, succeeded in winning a favorable decision over all rivals. We have had a very successful year in Athletics. Excitement ran high when the Elevens and Twelves met to play off the tie which decided the Championship in Basket ball. The game was expected to be close but we easily overcame the upper classmen and took the championship by winning five games out of six. We could not, however, overcome the hoodoo which always has haunted us when we played football with the tenth grade. We leave school with the intention of doing still greater things next year, hoping we will make that year long remembered because of the things accomplished by the Academic class of 1913.

Among such students and classes is the tenth grade. The history of the tenth grade is a history of repeated achieve- ments and brilHant attainments which places us above the average Normal class. To prove this let the facts be submi tted to a candid world. First: The tenth grade class is made vip of seventy students. Forty-nine have come to us from that widely known ninth grade of last year, ten of which are training school graduates. The remaining members have joined us this year. Second: The tenth grade was greeted by smiles of joy and wel- come, as the teachers recognized in them the future guardians of the nation. Third: Miss Atkinson can well testifv to the virtues of the tenth grade. The look of peace and tranquility that settles upon her face as we take our places in the study hall is an excellent testimony to our quiet and studious habits. The energy of the girls in the basket ball tournament, the heroism of our boys in the football games, will long be themes for discussion; while the brilliant successes in declamation, essay, music, and debate place our class members among the Sons of Light and the Daughters of Brilliancy. The incidents of that leap year bob-sled party only go to show that even the tenth grade may unbend from its dignified and studious attitude.  The tenth grade glimmered in Drawing, illuminated in Zoology, glowed in Mathematics, and dazzled in English. Then here ' s to the class of 1913 The class of classes the best. The brightest, the fairest, The nicest, the gayest. This class sets a pace for the rest.

When the ninth grade met in Mr. Bassett ' s room for registration on Sept. IS, it was found to be the largest class in the history of the school. Although we have often heard ourselves called Freshies and Miss Corbin ' s Babies , we have received honors and have had some pleasant social times which will long make us remember the happy days in our little ninth grade study hall. Our representatives in the declamatory and debating contests, Nina Walters, Harry Heffner, and Myrrhene Newsome, brought honor to the ninth grade and the winner of the interclass essay contest, Mitchell Lefler, is a member of our class. In basketball, too, we have won distinction, the Nine and Ten girls won their tournament and our boys, with Fred Robertson as captain, ranked near the head of the boys ' teams. Among our social events were: the tea given by the girls to the ladies of the faculty early in the fall and the leap-year bob.sled party on the night of Jan. 9, 1912, when to our dismay, only one sled ap- peared to take the crowd of forty students to Colchester. Miss Corbin, however, came to our rescue and took half for a ride while the rest of us, with Mr. Bishop as chaperon, waited our turn patiently, passing the time with music and recitations. C)ur literary societies, the Lincolus and the Irvings, have done excellent work and have had some spirited contests and we hope to be better Amateurians for this practice in the ninth grade. Now, at the end of the first year with our many A ' s behind us, we all resolve that this shall not be our last or best record and that we will try to verify Miss Olsen ' s prediction that, at some time, every one of us will be first fiddles.

There were sixty-one of us at first and we felt the newness and strangeness of it all very keenly but there was always some one to direct us and to tell us what to expect. The strangeness wore off as we became better acciuainted with each other and the ways of the school. We attended the socials and enjoyed them. We took various trips with Mr. Bassett and so feel competent to advise our successors as follows: Always keep out of the men ' s way in the Foundry and do not ask too many questions. When going to the clay or coal mines take Mr. Bassett with you, for if he can get thru j ' ou can, and wear your olde.st clothes. Let Mr. Bassett manage your picnics, for he has no equal when it comes to toasting weenies and marsh-mallows,. Miss Grote taught us prime numbers and why we invert the di- visor. She tried to improve our speech too and gave us hints on hqw to convince school directors that we could teach and manage a school. Miss Davis, tho much wearied in the process, taught us how to give expression in reading and not to rivet our eyes to the book . Miss Shamel gave us some idea of the meaning of clef, staff, an- dante, and many more of those horrible words. Miss Griffin taught us how to keep books, so if we fail in teaching we may seek other employment. Mr. Dickerson taught us how our forefathers strove to make this country what it is today. Mr. Bassett ' s efforts extended from the root of a stalk of grass to the most remote regions of the globe and he made us see the why and wherefore of things in agriculture and geography. In Miss Colby ' s department the boys were fitted for bachelor life and both boys and girls will be able to keep from starving if they can not secure boarding places in the country. In Mr. Johnson ' s department we learned about our brains and things and often wished for more gray-matter . Miss Lamkin found fault with our standing and walking and so we had to learn these too difficult feats over again. We are quite sure that we are competent now to take care of our pupils and our- selves when we get into that much coveted country school. Miss Buckner is trying to make us appreciate art and form and beauty and to give expression to it. We are not saying it ovit loud but we think her task is almost hopeless. Last, but not least, is Mr. White. He has taught us the difference between a rip and a cross cut saw and has helped us make some beau- tiful furniture with which we will adorn our homes. The winter term brought new members to our class until it num- bered seventy-six. Others came in the spring. All told we have had seventy-eight on our list, and fifteen from other departments of the school have taken some work in our classes. We have taken part in the various student activities of the school. A girls ' basket-ball team was organized and played in the tournament games. Two boys ' teams were organized and one of them won in the last of the tournament games. Many of us became interested in the standardization of country schools and organized a second Open Country Club to study the conditions of and to help improve our one-room schools. Great enthusiasm was awakened when a member of our class, Miss Nina May Spicer, won first honors in the School Declamatory Con- test. We were so proud of her that we gave a bancjuet in her honor in the domestic science room and had a royal time. Most of us come from country homes and ciuite a few have had to leave to help on the farm or in the home. A few of us are teaching spring schools. The rest of us, forth-five in number, are here to stay to complete the course and we confidently expect forty-five certifi- cates as our reward. Page Sixty-six SEQUEL Page Sixty-seven SEQUEL Page Sixty-eigh SEQUEL OUR GARDEN EXHIBIT We have been making small flower beds in the garden plots as- signed to the Training School for some years, but the result has gener- ally been far from satisfactorj since the flowers have bloomed most freely while we were away on our summer vacation. Many times they have been ruined during our absence l3y drouth, careless visitors, or stray animals so that we have had neither plants nor blossoms for our fall flower show. For this reason we concluded last spring to change our plans. We planned to make a couple of concrete hotbeds in front of the en- gine house where they would get the sun from the south and be shel- tered from cold winds, and to plant in these hotbeds the seeds of all oldfashioned flowers. When the seedlings were of the proper size, we were to transplant them to our individual gardens at home, care for them during the summer under the inspection and assistance of mem- bers of the faculty, and bring the resulting flowers and plants to the flower show in the fall. We were to raise vegetables at the same time and enter them in competition Avith those raised by the members of the faculty at the autumn show held in connection with the exhibition of flowers. When these plans were shown to Mr Bayliss, he approved the idea, but said that he could not get along without a flower bed in the school garden, as a supply for cut flowers and as a beauty spot during the sumnrer school. He asked as a personal favor to him, to make a garden of old fashioned flowers out in the experiment field. With the advice and assistance of Mr. McGilvrey we laid off a rectangular space, worked the ground thoroughly, and divided it into fourteen beds, separated by sunken paths. We made a ground plan for the planting of floAvers so that the general view might be harmon- ious, providing for a suitable succession of blooms. To these beds we transplanted seedlings from the hotbed and did the best we could with them in the excessive heat that followed. Most of the plants lived and flourished. Among the flowers planted were asters, pinks, for-get-me-nots, stock, peonies, snap-dragon, African daises, salvia, cosmos, sweet alyssum, petunias, everlastings, zinnias, touch-me-nots, chrysan- themums and coxcomb. We used the sweet alyssum chiefly for bor- ders and had masses of it. When Mr. Bayliss went away from us last summer, we felt that we could not bear to have the flower show as he had planned, and yet we did not want to let the flowers die without anj ' use being made of them. We therefore decided to use them as a memorial to our be- loved Mr. Bayliss, and gathering them one October morning, took them to the auditorium, where Miss Buckner helped us to arrange them in mounds and drapery all along the front of the stage. At eleven o ' clock all the children of the Training School went to the auditorium where we held a brief but impressive memorial service, feeling that we were doing with the flowers as Mr. Bayliss would have wished. In the afternoon we took the flowers in our arms and went down to the east door where they were photographed. We then marched to the cemetery, still carrying the flowers, and with the assistance of Miss Davis and Miss Hamilton, covered Mr. Bayliss ' grave with sweet alyssum and small flowers, and carpeted the lot with the larger ones. As the rays of the setting sun slanted under the trees and lighted up the flowers, it made a picture we shall always remember. We replaced the flowers several times while the nice weather lasted, and when the cold came, we carried some everlastings there as the last service our garden could render in memorj of our friend. Grade VIII. OUR FLOWERS Last spring, about two months before school closed, Mr. McGil- vrey met the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades in the eighth grade room to tell us he wished that all who could would have a small plot of ground at home where they might raise flowers and vegetables. He promised that when school began the next fall he would give an exhibition of what flowers and vegetables we brought. He offered seeds to all who wanted them. Many took advantage of the offer. Soon everybody was bus} planting, hoeing and spading. All were eager to have something of their own growth at the exhibition. Some of the more enthusiastic, who spent their vacations out of town, had someone to tend their gardens for them. The day before the exhibit, children from the first to the eighth grade came to school carrying immense turnips, squashes, pumpkins, potatoes, radishes, tomatoes, peaches, grapes and beautiful flowers, — in fact, a bit of almost everything which grows in a garden or flower bed. Then came the prizes. The first prize was twenty-five cents and the second was a picture of all contestants holding their products. The money for the prizes was earned by the seventh grade, They raised vegetables in their hot-beds. They made the hot-bed under Mr. McGilvrey ' s supervision, and in early spring planted seeds so that they very soon had some fine tomato, cabbage and other plants to sell. They had no trouble in selling them and consequently had quite a sum of money. The prizes were presented by Mr. McGilvrey one afternoon in the auditorium. M. Greer Hermetet. Seventh Grade.

It is only a section of the black board left for this special purpose. We bring clippings and different pictures which we post for use on our news day. Many of these pictures, clippings and letters we use in our Geog- raphy. The most interesting ones are a letter about the work on the Panama Canal, from a man who spent the winter there, and letters from the Philippine Islands and from Hawaiia from Mr. Pendarvis. These are fine. There are also many interesting pictures on South America by Burton Holmes. We have a picture of Miss Maude Adams as Joan of Arc on her big white horse, which we like because we studied about that in His- tory. There are other pictures of outdoor plays and we like those of the Coburn Players because they played on our Campus last summer. Each week we have brought interesting clippings about the re.vo- lutionsin China and Mexico and the war between Italy and Turkey. Inventions, discoveries and aviation meets are some of the items we post each week. The thing we prize most is the puzzle-picture of Heroes and Heroines of the Childrens ' Hour, which no one has completely solved yet. We work on it before school and at recess and there is always something new to be found. Don ' t you wish you had a bulletin board in your room? Mildred Nell, Grade Six. MANUAL TRAINING In Manual Training we have just finished making a peck meas- ure. We-have not had time to make anything more as we have taken it only about two weeks this Spring quarter. We have just begun to make a broom-holder for whisk brooms. Whenever we make anything we always draw plans for it. In Manual Training we are going to make some costumes like those of the soldiers and knights we are studying about in History. These costumes will consist of swords, spears, lances, helmets and shields. When we get them finished we are going to have a little play of some story in History. I like Manual Training very well and I think we all do. Margaret Clow, Grade Five. Page Seventy-three SEQUEL IBI 0Q3 - . I Page Seventy-four SEQUEL DRAMATIZATION IN THE FOURTH GRADE No activity has been more enjoyed by the Fourth Grade this year than the dramatization of scenes from the Adventures of Pin- occhio. The storj is a translation from the Italian and in its origi- nal form has long been a favorite with the children of that country. Pinocchio is a little wooden marionette who comes to life, ' ' and moved by an ambition to become a real boy goes through many remarkable and fascinating adventures before he overcomes his tend- encies to idleness, untruthfulness, etc. The photographs represent two of the scenes mentioned. Whatever properties have been lacking have heen supplied by the imagination of the children. Page Sevcntt -fivi SEQUEL But third grade children letters write To Eskimos living in igloos white; For Lolamie ' s comfort they carefully plan And drop him at last in dry Fusayan. Ways of travel they learn at length, Tell stories of Thor ' s suprising strength, Then they substract, add and diviile With rows of figures, long and wide. Though little jokes they sometimes play On teachers grave, or playmates gay. For working hard they have such knack. True interest they seldom back. i: Page Seventy-six SEQUEL In second grade, we can not shirk. The tree-dwellers life now forms our work. The cave-mens tools, we make from bones- We boil the waters, with red hot stones. We read to find fox Reynard dies, As a punishment for his manj- lies. While Robinson Crusoe we safely land, And his island home build on the sand. We study bulbs, then see them grow, We play at games, as our muscles show. With stories and songs, thrown in each day. There ' s plenty of time for work and play.

Thinking it advisable, the Kindergarten was organized October six- teenth, 1910. Eighteen pupils were enrolled. They were four and five years of age. The next year, 1911, twenty-one were enrolled. In the Kindergarten the child hears good stories, good music and sees good pictures. Attention is paid to his speech and it is cor- rected little by little. His vocabulary is enlarged as he learns the the names of objects seen and handled in the school-room. He learns a few rhymes and jingles and many simple songs. A portion of the time is devoted to rhythmic exercises which give the child more ease and freedom. The children are taught to observe birds, trees, flowers sun, moon, and stars, animals and all things with which they come in daily contact. It is the Kindergarten aim to bring the home and the school closer together. The keynote of our Kindergarten is education thru play. Page Eighty SEQUEL Page Eighty-one SEQUEL BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA When General Baden-Powell found himself besieged in a South African city, with but few soldiers fit for scout duty, he called upon the boys of the city for help, So heartily did they respond and so much did they grow in the service, that he formed the idea of a great association of boys to be called scouts, who should receive such train- ing as to make them fit for any duty that might fall to them in any emergency. From this plan of his has sprung the great scout organi- zation of which our Boy Scouts of America is a branch. Our motto is Be Prepared , and our watchword, Service and Obedience . The ideals governing us are those which have come down to us from King Arthur ' s Knights, the Crusaders, and the great navigators and explorers. Our training fits us so that we may have the strength and presence of mind to save life, help in panics, protect the weak, and to do the every day practical things that help the world along. Already one of our own patrol has saved a boy from drowning and employed the proper remedies to resuscitate him after he was brought out of the lake. Scouts are of three great classes: Tenderfeet, second class scouts and first class scouts. To become a tenderfoot and enter into training, a boy must be twelve years old, know the scout law and sign, the salute, the history of his country ' s flag, and the customary forms of respect to it, and to tie four standard knots. He then takes the oath and becomes enrolled in a patrol. To become a second class scout the boy must accomplish the fol- lowing things; Do one month ' s service as a tenderfoot; learn elemen- tary first aid to the injured; know how to send a message by signalhng; track half mile in twenty five minutes; walk a mile in twelve minutes; light a fire with two matches; earn and deposit a dollar in a bank, and know the sixteen principal points of the compass. He then takes his examination and becomes a second class scout. He may then begin his study for the first class scoutship. This includes a longer list of somewhat harder accomplishments, among which are swimming, map-making, and telegraphy. When he has qualified as a first class scout he is entitled to try for Merit badges given for proficiency in cooking, horsemanship, cycling, plumbing, invention, life-saving, and many other lines of work. When a scout has received five merit badges for first aid to the injured, life-saving, athletics, and for personal and public health work, he is entitled to receive the medal of a Life Scout. Fourteen merit badges, he is granted the degree of Star Scout and wears a silver star; for twenty-one merit badges, be gets the Wolf degree which is highest of all. The Scout Law says that each scout must pledge himself to Ije trust-worthy, valuing his honor above all things; be obedient to all legally constituted authority; cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and rev- erent. He promises to do one helpful deed each day. The scout learns many practical things, as in woodcraft, where he learns to recognize the different trees, trail and track different animals, to protect all useful animals, to kill poisonous reptiles, and to kill any dangerous animal in the most efficient and humane way. In campcraft, he learns how to make a shelter, to swim safely, to observe the proper time and place for bathing and to manage a boat. He receives from his scout master training in true chivalry which honors all womankind and protects the weak. His final training in citizenship and patriotism tends to make him more valuable to his country. Those of us in the second patrol, now training to be second class scouts, believe that this experience will be very valuable to us when we are older, and urge all lioys to qualify as scouts. William Work. Member of Second Patrol. Page Eighty-iwo SEQUEL Page Eighty-three SEQUEL EMERSONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY I am proud to say that I am an Emer. These are the words that one may hear from the scores of loyal and earnest young people whom we see engaged in the various acti- vities of the school. A feeling of reverence and respect fills the heart of every true Emersonian when the name of his society is mentioned. That name Ijrings a memory of the many pleasant meetings and inter- esting programs held in Society Hall on Thursday afternoons. It is true that we did feel somewhat at a loss when we learned that our hall was to be used for other purposes, but with characteristic perseverance we adapted ourselves to our new environment and set to work again with a hearty spirit of good will. In due time we be- came accustomed to the new situation and now feeling as much at home in Society Hall as ever we were in the old surroundings. Many new members have entered the society during the year. Indeed, scarcely a meeting has passed without the addition of several new names to the list. There new members have not only swelled our numbers, but have proved a source of inspiration and encourage- ment to the society itself. The Emersonian Fall Party was an event that will long be re- membered in the history of the society. That it was a complete suc- cess will be testified to by every student of the school. Society Hall was appropriately decorated with autumn leaves for the occasion and refreshments consisting of ice cream, pumpkin pie and sweet cider were served in the course of the evening. A feeling of friendly inter- est and cooperation was then established between the various societies of the school. An interesting literary contest was carried on in the society it- self during the winter. This was aided and encouraged by the mem- bers of the Faculty in the prizes offered by them to the winners. Seest thou a man diligent in his business, indu.strious in his hab- its, intelligent in his undertakings? He has been an Emer. Seest thou a child eager for understanding, seeking after knowledge, active and energetic in all his way ? He will be an Emer. Seest thou a student earnest in his attitude, upright in his life, strong, steady, honest in all that he does? Well he is an Emer. And had I the wings of an Angel, And a flaming sword for a pen, I would write on high the name in the sky That is deep in the hearts of men. Emersonian. Page Eighty-four SEQUEL .j i i Page Eighty-five SEQUEL Page Eighty- six SEQUEL Mis PLATONIAN Page Eighty-seven SEQUEL PLATONIANS Once more another year has passed in the life of the Platonian society. Once more another year of its history has been printed in the best loved book of school, the Sequel. Again has come the time when some of its members will say good-bye to the society of their choice, and will go out into the world, always remaining loyal to it and always remembering with pleasure the days spent as Platonians. And they will agree with the younger members who will tukc their places, that the year ' s work has not only been entertaining, but very profitable. At the beginning of the j ' ear there were some changes which, in a way, affected the beginning of the work, but which were speedily ad- justed. The principal change was the conversion of Emersonian Hall into a study hall for the ninth grade, which made it necessary for both the older societies to occupy the Platonian Hall, which was re- named. Society Hall. Instead of our weekly meetings as have here- to-fore been held we were compelled to have our meetings bi-weekly. With the exception of the Amateurs, we have the largest member- ship of any society in school. All the programs this year haye been well rendered and have been pleasing. Everyone has done his part in helping to make the society a success. We have not entered any athletic contests this year except in girls ' basket ball. Our team played the Emersonian girls and won easily by a score of 1.5 to 3. We have, however, been well represented on the school teams. In literary events we have excelled. One thing worthy of note is the fact that our school orators for the last three years have been active Platonians. An event of last year which was too late for the 1911 Secjuel, was the Inter-Society Contest which was won over the Emersonians, and which allowed us to retain the cup for the second consecutive year. We are striving hard to win it again this year. -A.nd now that this year is at an end, it is hoped that next year may witness greater victories and a still brighter future for the Pla- tonian Society, and it is further hoped that those who next year will take up the work which some of us have left will with greater zeal and more loyalty, sing those well loved words; O!

The question was: Resolved: That the decision of State Judges should be subject to the recall of the people. Mr. Howard Thompson, Miss Florence Logan and Mr. Ralph Imes upheld the affirmative for the Platonians. Mr. Lester Allely, Miss Lora Wilson and Mr. Charles Riley supported the negative in favo.- of the Emersonians. The debate was interesting and spirited throughout. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. This gives the Pla- tonians one and one-half points toward winning the cup this spring. Page Ninety SEQUEL The Amateurians consisted this year of the Tenth Grade and the Country School class, having an enrollment of over two hundred. Last year ' s Amateurians had all joined the higher ranks, the Plato- nians and Emersonians, leaving us all beginners. But we commenced with zeal, and feel our efforts have not all been in vain, as we were able to boast of a better regular attendance than either of the other societies. Our meetings have on the whole been most successful and pro- grams interesting and helpful; one in particular which was given in the gymnasium and to which the faculty was invited was especially fine. A short program, consisting of readings, essays, and songs, was given on Halloween. After this refreshments were served, con- sisting of peanut sandwiches, doughnuts, apples, and cider. AVe are now planning for our yearly play to be given near the end of the spring term and which is sure to be a great success. Miss Hanna, Mr. Bassett, and Miss Grote are our ever ready helpers in time of trouble. We are proud of our contribution to athletics. Although not en- tering as a society, we have a large number in our midst who have showed themselves as capable on the foot-ball field or basket-ball floor as in the class room. Those who will be here to enter the other societies next year ap- preciate the training received while members of the Amateurian Society. A long and prosperous life to all Amateurians and a success- ful year to those who are to come, is the wish of every member.

But with advancement in some lines there has been decline in a few phases of the work; all of which we hope may be overcome with the bright prospects for steady growth in the future. One of the opportunities offered by Association work is to enable members to attend other conferences of importance to the individuals and to the associations that they represent. During the past year two members were at the Lincoln conference, three at Lake Geneva, three at Knox, one at Monmouth, and five at the state conference at Peoria. A Hand Book was put out by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. this year, and was the first of its kind to be used in our association. The meetings during the fall quarter were generally given by Faculty members, doctors, or ministers along definite lines, and we are sure the} ' were of value to all who were able to hear them. Through the influence of our State Secretary, Mr. O. E. Pence, a Gospel Team, composed of Ralph Bishop, Alfred Sorenson, Paul Leach, Will Jeffries, and George Salisbury, was sent to Table Grove during the holidays. The members of the team feel that they met with some measure of success and received much good from the work. In all, the work of the Association has been constructive; and the hope is that each year may see it continue so.

A. has consisted this year of a large number of Christian girls who have worked faithfully in trying to make it the organization it should be. We sent delegates this year to Peoria and to the missionary con- ference at Monmouth. Our meetings, are held on Tuesday evenings at 6:45 in the Society Hall. During the winter quarter we had mis- sion study, which broadened our views of, and enlisted our sym- pathies witli the Christian work in other lands. We had three classes, the teachers being Lora Wilson, Junia Marrs, and Frances Reeder; and the text book studied was Sunrise in the Sunrise Kingdom. We were able to make a very satisfactory report of our work here at the missionary convention and our association compared very favor- ably with the other college associations of the State. This spring we liave organized three Bible Study classes. The teachers are Elva McDowell, Florence Logan, and Mamie Thompson; and the text book used is The Parables of Christ. The first of the year we gave an Old Maid ' s Leap Year Social in Society Hall which was a complete success. All came costumed as spinsters, and, of course, each had her tale of woe to tell, yet some had encouraging plans made for entrapping some poor fellow in the near future. A program consisting of appropriate songs and read- ings was given, and girls — don ' t forget Miss G ' s advice about your success depending upon your ability to knit men ' s footwear. The store we conduct is a great convenience to the school in general and certainly is a financial aid to the association. The suc- cess of our Y. W. C. A. is next to the heart of all of us and we are de- termined as never before to assist all we can in its highest develop- ment, so that it may he the organization it is meant to be. For it stands for the highest ideals of our spiritual life, and a means of co- operation among tire girls of the school. 1 Page Ninety-six SEQUEL IDer ©Hetcf;e Vl erein GERMAN CLUB Students and members of the faculty interested in the formation of a German club, met October tenth for organization . It was de- cided to form such a club, the primary purpose to be the gaining of ease in speaking and understanding the German language. Officers were elected, a constitution drawn up and plans for the year discussed. Through the year the club has held meetings once every two weeks. The programs have been varied and have included stories, games and songs in German. The conversation at all times has been in German. The crowning event of the year was the Christmas party (Das Weihnachtsfest), which was held in the Domestic Science room December twentieth. The little play Rothappchen was presented and scored a hit. Also Kris I-Crinkle was there with his pack and gifts and many amusing presentation speeches. After the games a real German Christmas luncheon was served by our real German members and the party broke up with the singing of the German Christmas songs. The officers tor the year are: President--- Alfred Sorensen Vice-President Guy Hoyt Secretary _ Helen Atkinson Treasurer George Salisbury The list of members follows: Miss Grote Junia Marrs Miss Olson Marion Ruddell Miss Atkinson Russell Browning Lucy Boies Bert Crandall Grace Cordell Verne Hoar Sadie Dickinson Guy Hoyt Freda Haffner Paul Leach Mary Hites George Mapes Susie Mitchell George Salisbury Dorothy Stinson Alfred Sorensen Sarah Stocking Wayne Wetzel Lela Terrill Page Ninety-seven SEQUEL THE OPEN COUNTRY CLUB The Military Tract Open Country Club was organized among the rural teachers in the summer term of 1911. Meetings were held once a week on the Normal Campus and were always well attended. The programs were interesting and entertaining. The musical part of the programs was furnished by the chorister with his portable Baby Organ. Such topics as ' ' The Standardization of the One-Room Schools, Socialization of the Rural Community , and the Rural Teacher as a Social Leader. were discussed. The members became much enthused with the new rural school movement and before leav- ing the Normal pledged themselves to work out in their schools and commuirities, one of the special problems considered by the club. A branch of this organization was formed among the Normal students, in the month of December. Its purposes were practically the same as those of the original club. Several meetings were held during the school year and the students and Faculty showed a great deal of interest. The subject of Rural School Improvement, was considered in the first meeting. The Advantages of Standardi- zation, w ' as carefully presented by President McGilvrey. The Clean- ing of yard and building, was taken up by Mr. Hursh. At another time the New Heating and Ventilating System, was explained by Mr. Dickerson. Other subjects of equal interest and importance have been discussed in the meetings and we consider the club an inspiring success. Our members will go into the rural schools of the State with their ideals strengthened and broadened and will each strive earnestly toward improving the physical, social and educational problems in their school and communitv. THE OPEN COUNTRY CLUB SONG The country fresh and free. Now calls and beckons thee To pastures fair, Where blows the gentle breeze. O ' er woods and grassy leas, While through the rustling trees. Echoes the prayer. Our manhood fair and strong. Our maidens ' simple song. Now calleth thee. There ' s work for us to do. For earnest men and true, The country calls to you. List to its plea.

In the fall of 1910, when we decided to form our sisterhood, Mr. Bayliss was one of the first persons with whom we talked. We found him at first only a listener, but an inter- ested one. Then be began questioning us about our motives and reasons far starting a sorority. In all of his conversation we could feel that he was deeply interested in the school at large, in our would- be organization as a whole, and in each of us personally. Many might think that with all the duties he had in connection with the regular work of the Normal, he would have taken little time to have helped in forming and perfecting our organization. But we found him ever ready to listen, advise, sympathize or encourage. He was indeed a true friend to us all. It was from him that we received the permission to form oiu ' sorority. It was to him that we went with many of our little troubles. It was because of him that we did some of the little things that we might have left undone. It is in remembrance of him that we shall try always to keep our ideals high, our standards worthy, and our friendships beautiful.

After much deliberation, Miss Shamel and Miss Hanna were consulted and they thought the plan was very good. They consented to be the Faculty members if the plan was perfected.

During our short life as an or- ganization we have accomplished much more than we expected to during the remainder of this year. We were fortunate in obtaining some rooms in the building south of school on the corner of Adams and North West streets. We shall never forget the day which we spent in fixing up our quarters, and of the blunder which was made by two of us in trying to make black paint by mixing black with white. Blunders are inevitable, but we finally succeeded in making our rooms look and feel very comfortable. Here we held our business meetings and several enjoyable social functions. AVe will long remember our first social, the Hamburgers which we ate, the stories that were told, the beans which we threw into a jar, most of which were deposited upon the floor, giving us much good training in the manly art of sweeping. The purpose of this fraternity is to heighten the standard of work done and to promote a spirit of brotherhood, not only among ourselves but among all the boys in general. This we will attempt to accomplish during the few short weeks of school left to us, and it is our intention to carry these policies out into a much wider field during the coming year and the years to follow.

' V! ;« ' ±f ' ,, Page One hundred and fifteen SEQUEL DRAMATICS One of the best modern writers on Dramatics says: The talent for every other art the world knows comes from the men of the Uni- versity, but the drama, one of the noblest of the arts, one of the easiest ways to bring the people to a higher literary standard, is not only neglected, but many times discouraged at the centres of culture. Literature has heretofore found its highest expression in the drama, but what college is there today that promotes this department of study? Indeed, there are few practices that cultivate fine address, memory, literary taste, the bearing of a man; like the study and rend- ering of the masterpieces of great poets and dramatists. Several years ago the custom of giving a Shakespearian plaj- as the Annual Senior Class play was started and the custom is yearly growing more popular. This year As You Like It was given and proved to be one of the mo.st successful of any yet given. The fact that the cast is picked from the best talent in the school regardless of class makes the play more nearly an affair of the whole school and thereby increases the interest both of the students and visitors. The value of the plays to the school and students is becoming greater and each year we have in the audience people who come from all parts of the Military Tract to see the play. Thus it is evident that the time is close at hand when people will begin to recognize the time value of the drama in the school life. That it is of value cannot be doubted as every prominent educator of the day is advocating development. Professor Charles Eliot Norton in an address to the Harvard Teachers ' Association, says: I am con- fident that our scheme of education is essentially defective so long as it fails to include the culture of the imagination as one of its chief ends, or, in other words, to embrace the study of poetic expression in all its forms as the chief means for the accomplishment of this end.

Paqe One hundred and seventeen SEQUEL ORATORY While oratory in this school has always been a matter of impor- tance, yet only in the last year did it reach its highest attainment. Although speaking in public is a matter of education to the speaker as well as to his hearers, rriany students have neglected this duty here- tofore. Early in the school year several plans were suggested for pro- moting oratory — a system of combining oratory and athletics was submitted to popular vote — but to no avail. Finally an oratorical association was started. At first it grew slowly, but now is one of the strongest organizations in the school. The new enterprise not only aroused oratorical spirit in the school but has also promoted class spirit so that contests have been held in almost all forms of literary work. Probably the most important event of the year was the prelim- inary oratorical contest, the winner of which contested with the Old Normal to see who should represent Illinois in the Inter-state contest for Normal schools. This preliminary contest which was held in December was well supported. All the classes came out and rooted admirably for their contestants. All the participants labored hard for the honors, but as only one person could receive first place the students were pleased to be able to support Mr. Ross Stephens who so easily won the Inter-Normal contest. The school is proud of its orators and of its oratorical association as well, and the students are expecting even better success next year.

' AGRICULTURE tTt Page One hundred and twenty-three SEQUEL AGRICULTURE The Normal School is supported by the State. Its chief purpose is to produce better teachers for our public schools and in so doing educate the youth so that they may become better citizens of the state. This is a very desirable feature, but located as this school is in a rich agricultural region, it should also tend to produce higher ideals of farm life. A large percentage of our students from year to year are not onlj ' now living in the country, but will continue to do so, and anything that is done to raise their ideals and make them better citizens will help repay the state for its expenditure. In this school the demand for agricultural in.struction has steadily increased until now several courses are offered and more will be sup- plied as need arises. The laboratory and experiment station offer innumerable opportunities for development to the student who knows what he wants and is willing to work for it. The school garden develops a love for growing plants and an ap- preciation of their worth throughout the grades. Much experimental work is done in growing and transplanting seedlings. Small hotbeds have been built resulting in much practical knowledge of plants and an interest in their growth. Besides the definite things accomplished here, we are proud of the influence that is going out from the department and making itself felt in the surroimding country. In some instances farms are being fertilized, milk cows have been te.sted as to their profit, seed corn has been tested, catalpa trees have been set out, fruit trees have been spraj ' ed, alfalfa has been grown, one student has raised one hundred bushels of corn per acre and many other things that we have no defi- nite knowledge of have been accomplished. As opposed to the old idea which taught that work of any kind disgraced an educated man, we are now taught that an education can- not be obtained except thru work and really the whole purpose of education is to enable a person to do his work in a more proficient manner. It has been said that any body could farm and this was only another way of saying nobody knew very much about it, hence every- body could start on the same basis, but now, with improved and modern machinery it takes an expert farm mechanic to properly man- age and care for it; it takes a business mind to keep the accounts straight, an expert stock man to raise pedigreed farm animals, an ex- pert dairy man to care for the milk, an expert electrician to keep the telephone, lights, and door-bells in good order; it takes an expert chemist to test the water and to see that the food is not adulterated, an expert gardener to grow flowers and vegetables, an expert chaffeur to run his automobile, and finally it requires a well educated woman to be the wife of a scientific up-to-date farmer. Requiring as it does so much knowledge to scientifically maiuige a farm, the farmer of today should realize that his boys and girls are the best possible crops he can raise, and by making them his partners, have them ready to take vip the work where he leaves it and make it the science among sciences. I Page One hundred and twenty-four SEQUEL Page One hundred and twenty-five SEQUEL FOOTBALL Football in 1911 began witli eight wearers of the purple and gold back in the game. A good schedule had been arranged and the teams which were to contest for the supermacy were Kewanee H. S., Mon- mouth, H. S., Lombard College, Augusta H. S., St. Albans Academy, Galesburg H. S., and Redding College. With the coming of the new coach, Mr. Walbrath, everything looked favorable for a banner year in football. Active practice began immediately on the opening of school but owing to the short time before the first game and the selection of new material being slow the first game was lost to Kewanee by a score of 18 to 0. Defeated but not discouraged the team practiced hard for the coming game with Monmouth H. S. who had one of the be.st High School teams in the state. But for reasons known only to the individual players themselves the team was again defeated by a score runiiing well up to the half hundred mark. A shifting of players followed this and finding for the first time that in union there is strength, the team now got their second wind and began to play football in earnest, but too late to carry off the honors from Lombard and the score again lengthened to 18 to for our opponents. The remainder of the season presents a different story. Before the smoke of the last battle had cleared away a new cjuarter back was appointed who did much in changing the tide of the season. Along with this change two men who were well acciuainted with the game reenlisted. Page One hundred and twenty-six St. Albans came next within our field of vi.sion and were swal- lowed up without our team putting forth any considerable degree of physical effort. Score 19 to 0. Gaining in speed as a ball rolling down an inclined plane Gales- burg H. S. was soon run down and devoured 29 to 0. The team now waited with almost breathless interest the coming of the old enemy. Hedding College. But when the team did arrive, soon after the game begun it was discovered that the year 1911 had not prospered them and they met their fate in like manner to the plants which have not reached their mature stage before the frost and cold blasts of winter are upon them. Score 24 to 11. Nothing now remained to make the season a success but to con- quer Carthage. The weather favored Carthage on that day by send- ing a deep snow which covered the surface of the football field to a depth of four inches and thereby saving Carthage from the defeat which awaited them. Thus endeth the football History of the season ending Nov. 30, 1911. The members of the team who rec ' d the official W were namely: Wavne Wetzel, Captain and right tackle; Henry Black, Manager; Louis Gill, Center; Ralph Stickle, Left tackle; Ralph Wilson. Right half- back; Ross Stephens, Utility man; Maurice Foster, Right end; Dewitte Dobson. Fullback; Alfred Sorensen, Lett half back; Lloyd Smith, Sub lineman, Si Simonson, Left guard; Grant Huey, Quarter back. I SEQUEL Page One hundred and twenty-seven SEQUEL BOYS ' BASKET BALL Basket ball for the season of 1911-12 from a general standpoint was a success. More men participated in the game than ever before and received not only a knowledge of the game but a great deal of benefit in the way of healthful exercise. Not less than sixty five men played the greater part of the season. The class tournament games which extended throughout the season, added much interest, spirit, and enthusiasm, not only to the class games themselves, but to the contests with other schools. Each class had its representative team, and an evening in the week set apart for all of the class who wished to play. Six classes were given a chance in this way, many of which had a first and second team among their ranks. The eleventh grade, the champions of the tour- nament, played a steady consistent game from the beginning; but no team at any one time could be said with certainty to outclass any other team. The work of all was clean and fast and soine excellent material for future teams of the W. I. S. N. was developed. From the score standpoint in games with other schools, the suc- cess of our first team was not so evident. The season opened with Nichol and Mapes, stars of 1910-11 out of the game. The new material however, filled their places with credit. Russell, at center, played a good game throughout the season, and was the main man on long and difficult baskets. Imes and Bennett, also new men in purple and gold, strengthened the team much. Captain Rost, the shifty forward , was no doubt the quickest man on the floor, while Sorensen, the other forward played his usual game. The guards, Salisbury and Huey, played the same game which characterized them in past successful seasons. The team as a whole played pluckily throughout the season, though scores were against them from the first. Following are the games and scores: Abingdon H. S.— 49 Normal— 28 Canton H. S.— 38 Normal— 22 Abingdon H. S. — 57 Normal — 14 Carthage College — 57 Normal — 16 Carthage H. S.— 42 Normal— 26 Carthage H. S. — 71 Normal — 24 Canton H.

From the active practice going on, it is to be concluded that this season ' s team will be successful. Many young men are enjoying the vigorous exercise in the open air. The spirit of the National game is abroad in the school. Games have been arranged with Lombard College, Carthage College, St. Alban ' s Academy, Canton (Mo.), Christian College and several other nearby schools. Page One hundred and thirty-one SEQUEL TRACK WORK It is also impossible to report the results of track athletics at this time. However, a team is at work and the prospects are as good as they usually are at this season. At least twenty young men are working on the cinder track, ' the weights and the jumps. Page One hundred and tliiriy-two SEQUEL HISTORIC In this decennial year of the W. I. S. N. S. it is fit that we note the general progress of the school. In 1899 the Legislature of Illinois passed a bill for the establishment of a normal school to be located near the center of what is known as the Military Tract, and appro- priated 75,000 dollars for its building and eciuipment. After many failures to agree in its location a new board of trustees was appointed by Governor Tanner and the school was located at Macomb. With the 75,000 dollars the foundation was laid. The next legislature ap- propriated 275,000 dollars for its completion, with which the building was built and the first floor finished and partially equipped. The next legislature appropriated 100,000 dollars to complete the structure but Governor Yates vetoed the bill. The school, however, consisting of about 250 students, together with the training school of 150 more, was for two more years confined to the first floor and the gymna- sium, the latter being fitted up for a study hall. However, three rooms on the second floor were finished, Hon. Albert Eads having donated 1000 dollars for that purpose. The legislature in 1905 appropriated 125,000 dollars for its completion, which Governor Deneen approved, and the building was completed and equipped in 1905-1906. The school opened in Sept. 1902 with a faculty of fourteen mem- bers, John W. Henninger as president and a very fair enrollment. The course of study was mainly academic, tho some methods courses were offered; but these conditions were improved in the im- mediate succeeding years. President Henninger resigned in 1905 and Hon. Alfred Bayliss, then superintendent of Public Instruction, was elected Principal. He assumed the office in 1906. At this time the faculty was enlarged and a number of changes were made. The school was practically reorganized, and began to take on new features of the Normal School work. A year was added to the required course for graduation; the acad- emic course was established, and strictlj ' differentiated from the Normal work; both training and methods coiu ' ses in physical culture were in- stituted; and a printing press was installed and the Western Courier printed by the students in the Manual Arts courses. The department of Domestic Arts was added, an experiment farm was laid out and courses in Agriculture included in the regular courses of study. A model country school was established one and a half miles in the coun- try, the teaching being done by a member of the faculty. The site of the school was formerly an abandoned brick yard, but it has been developed into a spacious piece of landscape architecture, such as will in time become one of the most beautiful campuses in the West. Proably the most interesting feature of this latest Normal school in Illinois is the project to carry the Normal school, by correspondence and extension classes, out to the teacher in his work and do it in such a way that credit can be given on such work for graduation. The Western Illinois State Normal school has no apologies to make for the first ten years of it s existence.

Another special edition was published to adverti.se As You Like It . The general policy has been to conduct the paper in such a manner that those who read it will feel a keener school spirit, know of the important events of school life, and enjoy it as they would enjoy any good newspaper.

Patie One hundred and forty-five SEQUEL THE SENIOR CARNIVAL At this time of the year it is impossible to describe fully the out- door Carnival. This will be given late in the month of May, under the auspices of the Senior class, but it is expected that the whole school will take an active part it it. The Carnival will be held on the campus and will include various features affording entertainment — dancing, refreshment booths, fortune telling, snake charmers, animal shows, acrobatic performances, etc. At ' the present time the affair promises to be a complete success, and it is hoped it will be a source of real enjoyment to all who take part in it. The May Day festival is the one event of the school year in which everyone, from the Kindergai ' ten to the Seniors take part. Those who have witnessed the May Days of the past can testify as to the pleasure they afforded. Heretofore it has been the custom to choose a May Queen from the Senior Class. The program will be varied a little this year, and a Queen of the Flowers will be crowned instead. Miss Eva Finlay has been chosen as Queen, and her flower attendants from all the grades will assist in the crowning.

The Manual Training shop is the rendezvous of all the young men and several young -ivomen also. A number of pieces of furniture have been made there that compare favorably with any on the market. Wood turning is given and a large number of useful and fancy articles have been produced. Extension work has been begun on a small scale. The Print Shop is indispensable. All of the letter heads, adver- tising material and even an occasional Quarterly ' are printed there. The Courier is printed each week on the press that was provided, partly by the trustees and partly by its own funds. A large class of young people have learned the rudiments of type-setting in the shop. The Domestic Arts Department is equally popular with the girls. Classes from the lower and the higher grades have equal opportunities there. Cooking, Sewing, and Millinery are taught successfully. Luncheons and dinners are served by the department in excellent taste and style. The aim of the Manual Arts Department is to teach pupils how to work with their hands, and to give them the ide a that work is noble and elevating.

Is it like the snakes of Ireland — doesn ' t exist ? I don ' t tell many stories but I ' ll tell this one. When Mr. McGilvrey read the list of those who failed to return Library books I thought he was calling the Senior class roll. Two sons of Ireland were dining at a New York hotel. A plate was set before them containing two pieces of meat, one of which was very large, the other extremely small. Pat immediately helped him- self to the larger piece. Sure, Pat, said Mike, Don ' t you know that ' s not the way to act ? Well ' ' , replied Pat, Phwat would you have done ? Why I should have taken the smallest piece and left the other for you. Well rejoined Pat, There it is. Take it. When the laboratory is too cold, come to my room and I ' ll make it hot for you. I got my breadth in the country — where did you get yours ? A certain politician was a very ardent Republican. On various occasions he had been known to say that he had never yet seen a per- son who could give a good excuse for being a Democrat. At a political gathering in. New York he made the remark that if any man there could give an adequate excuse for being a Democrat he should like to hear it. One man arose and stated that he was a Democrat because his father and grandfather were. The politician thought his point was proved. I suppose, he said sarcastically, that if your father had been a fool you would have been one also. No, returned the Democrat, I suppose then I ' d have been a Republican. Most of us would rather be held into slavery than to be eaten. Did you fail to hear my question or did you think I wouldn ' t call on j ' ou ? Don ' t sign your name to anything you haven ' t read. Don ' t answer a question when you haven ' t heard it. Pane Ove hundred and sixly-tuw SEQUEL SEPTEMBER CALENDAR IS. School opens. 19.
