Our spirit was then buoyed up by the tactful solace and good cheer of Miss Mabel L. Corbin, whose memory and friendship we shall ever hold dear and cherish. In the days that followed came Miss Martha E. Hinkel into our life, a friend whose ever watchful guid- ance was ours when the path was narrow and the ascent steep, a friend ever ready with a word of cheer and in- spiration, ever responsive to our cares and trials. In the days that are, as we begin to find ourselves, as we begin to learn the Balm of Gilead cometh from within, as we begin to discern the good and great and worthy in life,-it is that we realize the inadequacy of our pen to express our appreciation and thanks to these two persons. In days to be our thoughts will ever turn to them in grateful remembrance for such inspiration as would warrant the immortal best that is within us. Such to us are Miss lllabel L. Corbin and Miss lllartha E. Hin- kel.

N the year 1899 was founded the Western Illinois State Normal School, the 'U youngest normal school in the State. During that year the state legislature 51 , Q V55 M' ' made an appropriation to start the erection of the fifth normal school of Illinois, to be located somewhere near the center of the Military Tract. However, it was not until late in the year of 1900, that Macomb was finally selected as the favored city. b The work of securing additional appropriations was difiicult, and as a result the school was not to be opened until September 23, 1902. At that time only the first Hoor was avail- able for class work. The finishing touches were not added to the building until 1906, when the general assembly granted an appropriation of sufficient size to complete the beautiful edifice we have to-day. V To John W. Henninger fell the dignity of acting as first president and launching the school on its career. The faculty consisted of only fifteen members, the enrollment for the first year in all departments was considerably less than five hundred. FIFTEEN The steady growth of the school since 1902 is highly indicative of its accomplishments and progress. The faculty now numbers thirty-seven, while the total enrollment for the past year is over thirteen hundred. , President Henninger resigned in 1906 and the du- ties of the president were assumed by the Hon. Alfred Bayliss, who had just completed a successful term as y State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Under l his charge many changes took place: the course of study was altered for the better, two new departments, Domestic Science and Manual Training, were added, , and Correspondence Work was begun. This last de- partment has developed into Extension Work which is now one of the strongest phases of the curriculum and is a fitting monument to Mr. Bayliss, to whose un- tiring efforts the instigation of the work is due. This year the number of extensioneand correspondence stu- dents has exceeded the number in attendance. President Bayliss' sudden death as the result of in- juries sustained from being thrown from a horse lin the summer of 1911, cast a gloom over the entire state, for his noble work, long recognized by all edu- cational circles, was just beginning to bear fruit. As time passes we are almost daily brought into contact and appreciation with some of the great and good things of life which is largely due to the inspiration of Mr. Bayliss. Mr. John E. McGilvrey, then acting as supervisor of the- Training School, was elected president. The keen, sagacious foresight and broad, genial personality of this man have given him a permanent place in our memory. In 1912, owing to a previous engagement as president of the Kent, Ohio, Normal, Mr. McGilvrey resigned his position here and fol- lowed by our admiration and fidelity, left to assume his new duties at Kent, Ohio. Since the summer of 1912 Mr. Walter P. Morgan has acted in the capacity of presi- dent. As to the results of his endeavors there is no question. His executive ability, his hearty cooperation, and his high standards are characteristics for which he and the institu- tion will ever be cherished. Here every phase of life necessary for the full development of the student is given ample scope. Athletics has been worked up to a high degree of efficiency. Each student is able to participate and develop himself physically. The work of the literary societies has grown stronger within the last few years, also the work in dramatics. A large open air theater has been constructed in the ravine and here in the summer the students are given the opportunity of seeing the best in dramatics as por- trayed by the best artists. That the orator may hew to his line, the school has become a member of the Normal Interstate Oratorical League. Not to be overlooked is the social life SIXTEEN P Aff , gl Sim 5 e f ff 4 ,, -,-1, saw- ew of the students Monroe Hall, completed in 1913, affords a beautiful home for the girls. Within a few years the boys also expect to have a dormitory. As this Volume goes to press work has begun on the erection of a magnificent three-story Art Building, just northwest of the main building. Perhaps a word regarding the surroundings would not be amiss. The institution is situated in the centre of a sixty-acre tract of what is generally conceded to be the most beautiful campus in the State. On it are scores of different kinds of beautiful trees, flowering shrubs, climbing vines, and gorgeous flowers. A ra- vine of natural woods also adds charm and majesty, and gives a nesting place for the many birds that Visit us each year, last summer over seventy different spec- ies cheered us with their warbles. To the north of the main building is the athletic tractg north of this is a large plat of young forest trees planted and super- vised by a true lover of nature who has well earned for himself the glory of the living monument that Hurshwood will be to him in the years to come. The nortlzxvcxt corner contains the experiment field conducted by the department of agriculture. In the southwest earner of the campus lies Lake Ruth, a small, placid burly of water, which on quiet days re- flects the image of the stately school. lllith its able president, its corps of efficient in- structors, its large enrollment of enthusiastic stu- dents. its niaterial equipment, its almost ideal envir- onment, and its firm adherence to broad educational policies in the future as in the past, this institution is fast becoming one of the permanent factors in the educational circles of the State and the Union. ll' ' ff PQI' , - . , -f ff '-- ,f 2 'f I 1, Q-nw, - - !'4 p!!,'f4e 1 L7 A ,,l- xxx 1,121 7,. . - -Z'1ff 'Pri if , i , 4, CQ w,Jg,fp?,gff 4 i. , 5 ,,fgf43.z7f4- 3.,,fT.-7,11 A I f.,f.LgW:l,vfyf. b W 4 1' 'i:'4T:-4:7 , -QW-wav. 1 ,J 4. jl,'f4'.'+fq'. , ' ff 5 Q L .ry l XLS, 1 fff A - ' -A f fzgjfgia. 1- - ,- ,gg , -N H X..

Can you ever remember a time when Seniors have not been the envied and if Q9 I-1 . . . . . 1. ,, lxxli HN ,Lf vl A 7 Y XIWL 6 1 EQV -'Sal admired people in Normal land? Ever since the beginning of time, here the Seniors have ruled, and on various occasions, as they stood upon the chapel platform, their wills and words swayed the determined minds of the students and faculty. The members of this celebrated tribe are all remarkably intelligent and talented. They have a way of absorbing knowledge in a very short time. Among these people are the na- tion's orators and athletes, sweet singers, musicians of future fame, and actors and actresses with unheard of power, surpassing any other people ever seen or known in the country called Normal Land. This band of Seniors is one of great leaders, and their power has been gained by their ascendency over the and vast knowledge bers. This end was slowly progressed to stage and at last the Seniors, admired by accomplished by this other companies here at Normal. They have acquired their dignity through the careful study and imitation of the industrious faculty mem- not attained without struggle. This band started in the first grade and the insignificant freshman stage. Then came the wild, careless junior victory was won, and this band became the fully developed, intelligent all the inhabitants of Normal Land. Many noble things have been band and it has had a powerful influence on the civilization of Normal Land. By its quiet, dignified bearing, it imparts a feeling of cheerfulness and good will to all who are here. The pupils of the training school love and admire the members of this noble band who labor so bravely to impart knowledge to these smaller ones, and think of the day when they, too, shall become members of this dignified band. The frivolous, impulsive junior stops in his round of pleasure and gazes admiringly at the Seniors and longs to become like them.

Since sojourning here with us he has wheedled the teachers out of two brand new parchments of merit. Beck likes to play basket ball when he has the time and the inclination, but this year he was unfortunate in having neither. By choice he is a lover of Nature if Nature be defined the right way.

What Happened to OMING to us from Macomb High school Ina, in her simple way, has shown us that there is such a thing as the art of being quiet, as well as the art of talking. The only way you can tell she is angry is that her hair curls a little tighter, and her cheeks become a little redder. To be a successful. teacher, one must like her workg we are then sure that she will be a great success, because she has done four quarters practice teaching. When it comes to Public Speaking, Ina was in love with that, and would almost run to class, to be sure she would be there on time, and when called upon to give her speech, neither shook nor shivered for fear of forgetting. 'Strange to say you almost always find her on the front seat in any of her classes. This may be due to her ability to recite, or to her curiosity, in wanting to hear all that was being said, but to tell the truth, if you want to know the real reason you had better get your information straight from her.

As for music, well, just ask any member of the chorus or band what they would do without him. All that he asks of the students is that they do not call him by his full name, which is C. C.

But that was long ere he had as much altitude and thought imagery as he now possesses. Bill's favorite pastime is cavorting around on the athletic field where he has garnered enough W's to clothe himself.

The outcome is an extended list of grades that causes the green-eyed monster to rave within the breast of the less fortunate one. If Gertrude ever became homesick, she made small mention of it, tho we speak authoritatively when we say that the long distance line was kept busy a goodly share of the time. Next year Gertrude will pursue the call and enlighten the western states. Good luck, Gertrude.

She claims that she has never flirted and maybe she has not-this is Leap Year anyhow. Dottie has a way of her own that gets by. She possesses herself of A credits as modestly and unegotistically as she does of tango pumps-and about as often. In fact she has such a monopoly on collecting A credits that a good many others go hungry. She says that she fully intends to teach all the rest of her days but as yet we are at a loss as to what pupil she has selected.

She has the faculty of always be- ing happy, even when a history test is scheduled for the next day. I suppose we would all be happy could we get First- letter-of-the-Alphabet'' credits as she does. As is the case with most students attend- ing a normal school, Nell expects to enter the training profession, but listen, readers, I am told her school is to be very select, and her scholar,-well, that is really all we need to say about it.

When George entered the Academy six years ago we looked for him and saw him not, we looked again and heard his voice instead. As time went on, George's voice was about all we heard when a star recitation was called for by some of the teachers who craved the spice of change. On the stage did George first make himself both seen and heard, and even tho his first attempt was a year ago, yet can we still see an immense black goatee stalking majesti- cally before the footlights. From the mys- tery of What Happened to Braggs came the embryo from which a droll Dromio developed this year. Good luck to you, George, may you never be called upon to wade Crooked Creek when it is flooded. llll llflllllllrhillilll llll OU would never know Jessie was near, except in the class room where she makes herself known to both the teachers and the class by her recitations. Her worth was known by the Senior class, for she was made Class Treasurer in 1916, but her worth was also known to three school directors, for after completing her work at the end of the winter quarter, she left us to teach school. Although she be- longs to the same family as the great com- edian, George, she has none of his traits along that line, but nevertheless can sur- pass almost any of us in English 22. She never feared a test as the rest of us did. You ask the reason for this, and we can easily tell you, that it was because she al- ways studied each day's lesson as it came and knew she could answer any question which might be asked.

We are not authentic when it comes to stating just how many sit-ups she has implored from the powers that be, but we can truly state that Brooks never fails to clinch the question in recitation. Her favorite whim is to let the teacher flounder hopelessly around in a muddy universe for a few minutes, then she pitches in and rescues the bedraggled Ichabod. If we had space we could go on and rave about Brooks' eyes, Brooks' hair, Brooks' smile, but alas,-we still have thirty-three Sen- iors left to talk about. ALICE ELLISON A Z MACOMB, ILLINOIS Y. VV.

If we were mean enough, we might tell a secret joke on Myrt, but inasmuch as it is a secret, we won't tell you that she remained out from the dormi- tory one Thursday night, oh, very exceed- ingly late.

She is thoroughly at home in the Manual Training shop and the young men in the shop have to work to keep up with her' when it comes to driving nails. She is also an accomplished furniture maker, as are some of the other girls in the class of 1916. Nor are these her only accom- plishments, for she is as much at ease in fl reception line as she is in the Manual Training shop, and from all appearances is more at home in the third grade room than any place else in the building.

And she smiled even more so long after the game was over when one of the Augustana players made him- self commendable. Alice tells us that when she had fewer teeth and, dimples than she has now, she braved the briny blue of the Atlantic to become a member of our Senior class. But we would have never guessed that she had ever seen the Scandinavian Peninsula had she not demurely informed us so one day. Alice says that she intends to return to her now native land and see what she can do to keep the American youth from wandering too perilously near the brink of the Mississippi. Bravado.

Next year she says she expects to teach ftho she told us that in a tone of voice that suggested succumbing to the inevitablej. Her hobbies are numbered by six but she absolutely refuses to di- vulge the six to the public. We think fourth grade teaching is half of the half dozen. Her critics will tell you more favorable news about her than space per- mits us to print. About the best thing we can say for her is Cand this is rather per- sonalj that she responded with a SEQUEL picture with practically no exhortation on our part.

That is just what Ottilie has doneg not once, but many times has she had to entangle our biased opinions and lead us back from our aimless peregrina- tions. When we ask her how she can be so learned, Ottilie always smiles naively and passes it off as a joke. 'It makes us feel as if we wanted to cross the pond and live in the realm of realism for awhile.

But that does not interfere with Zula's democracy when the times arrive to be welcomed in the good American way. Should the suffragettes ever carry the town by storm we are confident Zula will not become excited.

Altho all this is true, we are not so sure she will follow this trade, for after seeing the furni- ture she made in Manual Training, we think she might decide to become a furni- ture dealer. Yet another prospect lays bright before her,-that of being a popu- lar actress. In every way possible she tries to make us think she is Irish. First by her ready wit, we almost believe it is trueg secondly, she loves the color, green, and shows her liking by wearing it, and lastly she chooses St. Patrick's day upon which to give her chapel talk and tells us Irish stories. We will leave you now to draw your own conclusions about her nationality. IVA RANDOLPH MACOMB, ILLINOIS Platonian. Class Play.

She is so thoroughly alive to everything, and shows it so much in her class work, that it makes us almost wish we 'had to walk as many miles to school every morning as she does. Her ability as an actress or a model for a sculptor was shown by the way she car- ried her part in the Senior class play, she is not real sure which of these two profes- sions she will make her life work. It has been said that she has a twin sister, who is so nearly like her in every respect, they can hardly be told apart.

Part of her life time she spent in the south, and we are told that her favorite sport while there was driving the cattle out of the cotton fields with a shot gun. She did not offer any information as to whether she ever hit her mark or not. She was seen at a ball game one afternoon with a certain sandy-haired person, and on being teased about the event made the remark, Ch, we just all live in the same spot down by Rushvillef, We all hope that this ideal state of affairs may continue for many years, to the future happiness of Ida.

The image is thrown on her brain and she is at once able to answer any question which a teacher may ask. How we envy her. She believes in following the advice of some noted man, which is When you have noth- ing to say, say nothing. But she also makes it work the other way, and when she has anything to say, says it without any hesitation. Her ability to fry dough- nuts and have them light, brown and won- derful to taste, has been demonstrated to many. Her other accomplishments along that line are too numerous to mention. Could you have seen her in the laboratory last fall cutting up worms, and crayfishes, your mind would have been at ease about her future occupation, for no doctor ever went about an operation with a surer hand than Rhoda had in her work.

It was proper and expedient that all of us happy beings be organized into a class, so with due ceremony Philip Donahoe was chosen class president. Since our class comprises one of the largest ones in the history of the school many of us were asked to do practice teaching during the winter quarter. Those who were asked seen their duty and done it. Although we Juniors include the most diligent students in the Normal, we also put into practice the educational theory for social efficiency-recreation, in a man- ner both beneficial and spectacular, as is evinced by our claiming as Juniors, the best athletes both in boys' and girls' teams. The Juniors claim the honor of possessing the best musical and dramatic ability in the school. Little time is spent in gay frivolities by this ambitious class, but the Junior-Senior reception was royal, and voted to be the best ever tendered by a Junior class.

Some intruder, growled I, dispersing wits within my aching head. All of this and more I said. Ah, tearful I remember it .was in the bleak December XVhen I Hrst began to sow the principles that I was fed. True, the morrow I did dread, almost wishing I were dead, Methought of each untutored member clamor- ing vainly for the ember- l For the light to which I never, never could he wed,- VVell indeed that I were dead! O'er the pages of my plans I pondered long with saddened lookg I was frantic with fantastic terrors chasing thru my head. And I sat repeating, still repeating then I said: Some intruder who has never sufered with an aching head. All of this and more I said. Presently my courage grew strongerg hesitat- ing then no longer, Sir, I said, Oh, madam! your forgiveness truly do I dread, For the fact is I was napping, and so brusquely came your rapping, And so loudly came your tapping, tapping at my aching head, That I by chance mistook you ! Swooned I then away while in my head Darkness reigned-dark as lead. Then from out that darkness, peering, slowly came I, wond'ring, fearing, Doubtful, dreaming dreams all practice teach- ers dream of fear and dread. But the silence was unbroken and the stillness gave no token, And the only words there spoken were the woeful words of Ink of red 1 Thus I trembled, while an echo murmured back that Ink of red l Haunting, fearing, thus it said. Open here I fling the shutter with many a mind- ful flirt and flutterg In there stepped a stately person, prescient of wisdom lore. Not the least obiesance made she, not a min- ute stopped or stayed she, But with mien of pow'r that be-in her hand her mighty pen of red- She imprinted here and she imprinted there within my head Marks of ink in colors red. And thus raving, sitting lonely, frightening me bespoke she only That one phrase as if her soul in that one phrase she did outspread. Nothing further then she uttered, not a mo- ment then she Hutteredg Till I scarcely more than muttered, Lest to- morrow I am dead Surely now will you depart and leave me to my plans unsaid! Quoth the critic, Ink of red ! Then methought the air grew denser, for there stood my mighty censor, Thus I thought so real it seemed that this I saw I had not dreamed Critic! cried I, thy genius lends thee, now I know 'tis genius sends thee. Tell I pray, thee, your source of sway, that I shall be no longer dead. Is it genius, or tact, or talent that maketh in all an austere head. Quoth the critic, Ink of red ! Be that word our sign of parting, critic or friend ! I shrieked upstarting. Get thee gone into the night, the dark that is to me a blight. Leave no redness as a token of that truth thy soul has spoken! Leave me be I beg of you, for then my raving shall be broken, Pluck thine image from out my sight! Quoth the critic, Ink of red. But the raving ne'er departed, for the image of her hath darted Ever and ever among the fevered sands that fill my frantic head. And to me it hath the seeming of a wild, de- lirious dreaming Of to-morrow and to-morrowg in all 'tis best, it can be said The soul by weal and woe is fed, raving raves, -I will to bed To murmur in sleep, Ink of red !

MARIE CHADDERDON And it Came to Pass ' INCE the day the Academic class of 1916 entered the portals of the VVestern Illi- nois State Normal until it bade them farewell, it enjoyed a triumphal march through the curriculum of the school. From Miss Corbin it received its mar- velous gift of rhetoric and concentrationg from Mr. Hursh its insight into Shakespeare and other poets, under Miss Hinkel it developed its fine powers of oratoryg as it leaves the school it has the proud distinction of having furnished the year's base ball and foot ball captain, of having captured a great many W's and of having won the ex- temporaneous and declamatory contests. It is able to solve any problem under the sung Ln translate any German or Latin Literature, to speak before any audience with great honor, and to act any play successfully. Now the question may be asked, How has this class been able in four short years to acquire so great an amount of knowledge? The answer is, Re- member that this is no ordinary class,-that from the first it possessed such marvelous in- tellectual ability that in the very beginning of its career the ultimate endecould be foretold. So the class of 1916 bids farewell to the old Normal and enters the world to make for itself everlasting fame.

And seeking change from earthly strife and roar, He journeyed down old Pluto's way. In sulphurous, charnelled cell whose dungeoned walls Snarled with ragged crags of Hint, And echoed rounds of tortuous shrieks and calls, Was Pluto found in all his dint. And one by one in never ending train The guilty host did pass his throne, And one by one the penalty of pain Was dealt with no respite for moan. In fearful awe the scribe did view the court, And in his heart compassion feel. In weak and trembling voice he queried report- The way of all this woe and weal. Then Pluto spoke in accents stern and gruff: Be seated, sir, I beg of you. I know to you this punishment seems rough But yet it is most justly due.

EIGHTY-TIVO Eleventh Grade Behavior HE Academic Class of 1917, now in the Eleventh year, entered school with the I i greatness of that distinctive character which can be read in any cycle of goodly I? events. But tho this class has excelled in athletics, in literary endeavors, in so- : '-'-V4-ff I cial activities, in all polite interests fas studiesj, and in the glorious art of beauty culture, yet like all great people it has one fault-it lacks the dignity of the Seniors. This one fault has led to some embarrassment. We cannot and will not forsake our childhood frivolity altogether, on the other hand we covet all dignity due this procession of brilliancy. Both our serious and gay natures have been: portrayed in the class plays which this ag- gregation has given. Last year we staged a stupendous success in the form of Lost, a Chap- eronf' It was declared by the newspapers to be the most laugh-exciting play ever put on the market. When you feel the exuberance and joy that goes with a game of tennis on our new courts, remember that those courts are due to the energy and keen unseliish insight of the Eleventh Grade. But all histories must at one time end with a prophecy of the future. Sometimes a class will dash with meteoric brilliancy upon our vision only to dwindle to dust in the atmosphere of every-day grind. But not so with the Eleventh Grade. Ours is a charmed characteristic The oflicers and members of this class hesitate not -on the threshhold of doubt, but hurl aside the dubious atmosphere of the future and plunge forward ever.

But not only do we now play a large part in the school affairs, but in the future we will play a larger and larger part. The tenth grade has won renown in several fields of endeavor this year: On Dec. 5, of last year, one of our number won the spelling contest, defeating members of the higher classes, and scoring several points for our class in the purchase of a moving picture machine. The Amateurian, our active literary society, guided by Miss Olson, has given several varied, interesting, and up-to-date programs, and the musical talent of the class has been organized into a chorus, superintended by Miss Vroman, which has shown its ability in chapel. We are also proud of our boys who handle the drum, the cornet, and the clarinet in the band. In Athletics we play a prominent part. One member of the class was captain of the Academic team as well as the tenth grade and a tournament team. Through the skill and good work of our captain and team, the tons won in a game of basket ball with the elevens Feb. 3, and again in a game with the Macomb H. S. Sophomores Feb. 4-, by a sc-ore of 53 to 9. Not the least of the attractions of entering the tenth grade is the prospect of taking English under Mr. Hursh. Thus each year Mr. Hursh gains many new friends and many more are brought under his influence, which prompts to a higher plane of thought, action and enjoyment, and after all, isn't that just what we are here for? the other things are merely accessory.

As I wended my way upito the themselves so much. After I had wandered around like a lost Jew for some time, a good Samaritan came along and piloted me to the ninth grade study hall, or the green room, as it is so often called. On arriving there, my fears were soon dispelled, when I found I had many partners in distress, and when Miss Corbin and Mr. Kirk took us into their care. After the school life had been Howing along smoothly for some weeks, the Lincoln Lit- erary 'Society was organized. Then our struggles began, some of us trying to become ora- tors and others musicians, with many doubts and fears. When the Amateurians invited us to join them in a Christmas program, we very gladly accepted their invitation and a delight- ful time resulted. From this society we have gained valuable knowledge in many ways. As Hallowe'en, the time of witches and ghosts, approached, plans for a merry party were carried out under Miss Corbin's direction. This was held in the gymnasium, which was very prettily decorated for the occasion. Miss Corbin and Mr. Kirk kindly consented to chaperon us, the time from four till six was spent in music and playing games, and last but not least, refreshments were served. When we departed. for home, we carried with us the remembrance of a joyful evening. - If we had known that the Normal was not such a formidable place we would not have approached it with such fear and trembling, but no doubt all ninth graders must learn the same lesson.

Class History Country School Training Class, thirty-three in number, gathered in Room 33, the first morning of this school year, Sept. 20, 1915, to enroll and to be E initiated into the great new life of the Normal School. Miss Grote directed our Iii- i4'i efforts in her uniformly kind and patient manner and seemed to appreciate all our difficulties. Most of us came from country schools, but a few had had from one to three years of high school work. Others have been added to our number and some have changed to other courses offered by the school. A few have dropped out entirely. The complete class troll for the year numbers forty-five. Only a very few will be able to complete the two-year course in June. We have had some social events and have organized an Open Country Club. Our work is giving us an insight into the needs of country schools and we hope to be able to meet these needs when we go out to teach in them. NINETY Country School CLASS OFFICERS Vice Preszdent .

A. S we walk through the wilderness of knowledge, behold we see a crowd of pil- lfffgiulgxyl grims and great burdens on their backs. We see that the road up which they go is made difficult by craggy asc ints and steep precipices, and that they groan jflfgjei under the heavy loads they carry. Now when Tuesday night has come, a few turn aside at a place somewhat apart from the highway. And as they enter in, the burdens loose from their shoulders and fall from off their backs. And behold there comes forth a sweet sound of music and a quiet voice. saying: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Then I seeg they arise and go forth onto the hi ghway-a road smooth, and aglow with the light of evening's sunset. In this way the Young VVoman's Christian Association of this school is making itself felt among the students. The Y. W. C. A. holds its regular meetings each Tuesday evening in the society hall at 6:45. The meetings are addressed by different girls of the schools, faculty members, pastors, and business men of the town. This year has marked a wonder- ful historical event in the life of the Y. W. C. A., as all over the world the girls of the different associations are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Y. W. C. A., March third, nineteen hundred and sixteen. Miss Eleanor Richardson, our new field secretary, visited us this fall and talked to the girls of the school on My Relation to th: Association, and Thrift and Emcienc-y. Her visit proved very helpful. The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. have held several joint meetings which proved successful, interesting, and helpful. We are proud of our associa- tion and what it stands for, and we are proud to be known as a member of the Young VVomen's Christian Association of the Western Illinois Normal. The social life is not neglected among th: girls, teas, socials and frolics are held which help the girls to become better acquainted. N o thought of what the morrow brings, Now studying must cease, WVe meet for one short hour of praise, Sweet hour of peace. MQ 'W f is if 1, , If c':f'!f:s 'J '-Is, L T i' 1 NINETY-FIVE .i . , .

This policy clearly outlined each member's duty and made the work more thorough land systematic. ' Our Association has been well represented at the many conferences. Three delegates attended the Geneva Conference last June, six were sent to the Older Boys, Conference at Bloomington in November, and one to the Missionary Association at Monmouth. Reports of the work were gotten at all these meetings. By a vote of the cabinet last fall our Association became a member of the State Association of Y. M. C. Afs of Illinois. On the third of last December the Y. M. C. A., with the help of the Y. VV. C. A., brought Dr. VVinf'Ield Scott Hall here for a series of four splendid lectures. During the past school year our Association has held weekly religious meetings at which faculty members and business men of Macomb gave very interesting and inspiring talks. Three Bible Study Courses were conducted with fair success. Several joint meetings with the Y. VV. C. A. were held which were enjoyed and ap- preciated by all. During the winter quarter the Association gave a home talent Musicale from which was derived much appreciation and a good total of receipts. The cooperation of the students, the school, and the churches, has been excellent this year and we hope that in the years to come this cooperation may exist to an even greater degree and that the Y. M. C. A. will always remain a factor in the educational part of this school. C. T. J. 47, S J' Q Q, 9' NINETY-SEVEN Ab-Normal Tees The portal gaped, I entered in, The world I bid adieu.

NIXETY-EIGHT DRAMATICS Comedy of Errors HEN it came time to follow the custom of giving a class play this year the :Pwr J YN Senior class decided that a Shakespearean play of a lighter vein would better suit the spectators than a production of a heavy tragedy. Accordingly the Comedy of Errors was chosen. This play was all the more suitable in being presented on All Fool's Day. That the interest and cooperation of the entire class was given to this play was man- ifested in the presentation on the evening of April 1. An audience of over seven hundred saw and heard the results of the endeavors put forth in two months of rigorous training, under the personal supervision of Miss Hinkel. That the presentation was a success is borne out by the verdict of the audience. Each 'year is the class play and home-coming date more eagerly watched by the alumni and others whose interests incline towards VV. I. N. This year the number of alumni who availed themselves of the opportunity of home-coming and alumni banquet, and class play far exceeded that of former years. May this interest ever continue.

W'e got the play up in three weeks, we did it up brown, and turned it out hot before it had time to cool. Long will our roommates remember the incessant niurmurings of God bless my soul, Oh, Bobby, Bob- by, My Darling W'obbles, or Oh, I Say, and long will we remember burning the mid- night oil and walking the floor with similar mutterings. W'e learned to love and be loved, and as Shakespeare says, 'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished for. Green Stockings has been so popular that it has been extensively played both on the stage and in the movies. Although it is an English play, it deals with a universal prob- lem, that of the unmarried daughter. In Green Stockings, Celia, the elder sister, at- tempts to solve her problem for herself with amusing results. She invents a man and her engagement to him. She immediately springs into popularity, is courted, toasted, and dined, and fis the gayest of the gay, the most frivolous of the frivolous. She is no longer poor old Celiaf' nice old thing, but darling Celia. But one of her letters, written to lVobbles, her imaginary fiance, accidentally gets mailed. The very next day she has announced his death, VVobbles shows up, much to her consternation. But again, as Shakespeare says, There's a divinity shapes our ends, rough hew them as we may,', and in this play Fate sends in WVobbles, the man of Celia's dreams and they live happily ever afterwards.

X Ilan XVilcox ONE HUNDRED THREE Reverie By POLLY As I sit by my open window And gaze o'er the ocean wide, I hear the dull roar of the breakers, And the moan of the rising tide. Here as I sit and ponder, The tide, rising up in my heart, Fills me with doubtings and longings, And my life grows suddenly dark. But as I gaze into the darkness, A soft silver glow fills the night, And a moon of wondrous beauty Floods Heaven and ocean with light. The whole world grows suddenly brighter, And my soul thrills with joy at the sight. How false and shallow my musing! How little I realized life! For no soul is in hopeless darkness, No life overburdened with care, If the light of God's love shines within it Through the sweet communion of prayer ! ' A ' 'AMY f' 'i f f-' ' ONE HUNDRED FOUR 'V MUSIC CT-lfle NOI'm8l Chorus The man that hath no music in himself Nor is not moved by concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasonis' strategist, and spoils,- Let no such man be trustedf, O spake the immortal Shakespeare, and well he might, for music is the great universal language of the Creator, thru it all things speak. all things are intel- ligible. Look deep enough and you will find music everywhere. in the brooks, the breezes. the growing things of the Helds,-ever the majestic planets wheel- ing and hurling thru space choir their immortal anthem to the Creator. lve are bathed in divine harmony. Yet we hear but faintly this harmony, which is the singing soul of all things, for though music is Godis greatest gift to man, like all other gifts, it is given to us in the germ. If we would hear the music of the spheres, we must work to unfold and develop the talent buried within us. The Normal chorus this year, under the careful and enthusiastic instruction of Miss Vroman, and ably assisted by Miss Dallam, has done much splendid and serious work. lVe have but one fault to find with them,-that is. that so far they have not often lent us the inspiration of their voices. The program of Christmas carols and the cantata, Barbara Frietchief' were greeted by large and enthusiastic audiences. The work of the chorus showed remarkable evidences of musical growth. both in power and in self-activity. It is most evident that the members of the chorus are not only singing. but that they are learning to catch the true laws of divine harmony. They are getting some- thing to take away with them that will make their whole lives deeper. richer, and holier.

We also have some drums, but as this article is intended for print 0 any we shall make no eiort to classify them. ix Spectators are few at our rehearsals. There are several reasons for this, but we B, Sty are not going to tell you any of them. Instead, we are going to tell you what you will W see, we are unable to tell you what you will hear. No band rehearsal is complete without an attempt on a new piece of music. So, as soon as every- one has arrived fifteen minutes late, and set up his music rack, and tuned up or down to the proper pitch of civilization, and conglomerated a. few scores from a forgotten opera, and worked himself and everyone else up to a high degree of vociferous expectancy, and made assurances doubly sure that he has slighted no one, Mr. Warrum hands out a sheet of ordinary paper bespattered on one side with all the hieroglyphics of Babylonian lore. When all the music sheets are distributed and inspected, those who can interpret the writing thereof make a wry face, while those who cannot, look composed and confident. Then all is ready to do or die, and you would be surprised how very hard some of them die. Mr. Warrum raps his music rack harshly-which means to keep cool and take aimg he lifts his baton aloft and a moment's spell of hushed expectancy permeataes our midstg the baton descends and the Orphean brigade blazes away. After the first fusillade the ranks are stricken with fear or Wan- lust, and each member skirmishes for himself. Before there is time to reorganize for another broadside all of that well-intentioned has vamoossed out of the United States and scattered some- where around in the fourth dimension of the universe. Mr. Warrum, armed with a search-warrant and a firm resolution, proceeds to hunt up the prodi- gals and persuade them to return once more to the fold. It takes a great deal of time and Christian spirit to do this. Over in the second line of trenches near Aix-la-Chapelle, he finds the drums rattl- ing and roaring away. Roar is very edective in battle, and David and Goliath have fought so many battles that we may expect them to demand a pension. Down along the Congo Mr. Warrum finds the clarinets chattering back at the other monkeys. Farther down stream there is the baritone player making mud pies and playing his instrument when he feels like it. The altos and tenors are never pursued. The world is round and lost people travel in circles-they will come back if one just waits. By now it is high time to locate the trombone prodigal. He was first to jump the homestead claims. He is finally found sliding around on a Greenland glacier among the wild blasts of his own improvisation. Fortunately the cornetists never wander so far from the fray but what they can return of their own effort and free will. The battallion is reassembled for another attack when, horror! the two bass players are missing. They are finally located playing tag around the Egyptian pyramids and running up and down the steps of the same, only of course alternating turns and steps. When all the prodigals are made to see the error of their ways and return once more for a sec- onds encounter, Mr. Warrum uses a few minutes in which he extemporizes in a heart to heart talk with them. He tells them that to err is human, but personally, as far as he is concerned, he would be more pleased if some of them were not quite so human. He tells them that to forgive is divine, but just at that moment he has no divinity to waste on wandering Jews. He tells that charity work is good for the heathen abroad, but he also says that he cannot see how the prodigals ever let them- selves be hornswoggled into the notion that charity does not begin at home. After the dissertation there is usually a small prevalence of mutiny among some of the WVander- ing Willies. Some insist that if they had not skirmished individually the whole band would have been annihilated, but Mr. Warrum firmly avers that he has served in band circles for ten years and got fat, and he has never heard of such an outlandish procedure before. And so the rehearsal moves on into the second change.

I, The object of this club, as stated in its Constitution, is to discuss problems and Qlfghbl cyl topics of interest in Home Economics. The Constitution further -provides that the organization shall be composed of girls interested in Home Economics who shall apply for membership or upon invitation by some member of the club. Every member is to appear at least once a quarter on a program. A membership fee of twenty-live cents is paid each quarter. The Constitution calls for a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, whose duties are similar to the duties of like officers in any organization. The officers are elected by ballot at the last meeting of each quarter. While new officers are expected to be elected each quarter, those for the fall quarter held their position during the winter quarter, there being only one regular meeting in the fall quarter. They were as follows: President ............. . . JULIA lVICG.1.L'GiIY Vice President . . . .... . . . Isx'L SPIKER Secretary . . . . . . . . EDNA BARXES - Treasurer . ............. . CLARA IQIRK For the spring quarter, these olticers were elected: President ............. . . Isn. SPIKER Vice President . . BIARIAX LAWLESS Secretary ................... . GRETCIiEX BOYD Treasurer ..................... DoRo'rHY ROARK Besides these oflicers who have very creditably done their work, Miss Lavinia Stinson, faculty adviser to the club, is to be especially commended for her interest and assistance. Besides the regular meetings, which were held every two weeks, on Thursday at 4-:30 p. m.. in the Dining Room, several special meetings were held. Two demonstration meetings were very ably given by Seniors in the Household Arts Department. This is good training along practical lines and we hope to have several such meetings next year. Perhaps the biggest undertaking of the club was the Waile Supper, given early in the spring quarter, where about one hundred thirty people were served to golden brown waifles, maple syrup and coffee. The proceeds of this affair were turned in to the treasurer of the moving picture fund. With a. membership of thirty-five, this club has proved to be a good live organization. with splen- did spirit. As it is open to all girls, we hope to see the membership double next year. This will give those who are especially interested in Household Science an opportunity to become better acquainted and permit them to co-operate along those lines in which they desire to advance. ONE HUNDRED FOURTEEN 5-flue Spanish Club VERY modest and inconspicuous organization with no officers, no dues, lrjjlrgikkl and no place on the regular schedule has been the Spanish Club, which has met with more or less regularity throughout the year. The Cortina grammar and dictionary and Harrison's Elementary Readings in Span- ish have furnished the text-books, while the pronunciation, save for one or two of the members who have had previous instruction in Spanish, was largely a matter of the blind leading the blind. Despite the disadvantage of havinig no teacher, the members of the club feel that they have made some progress and have enjoyed their attempts at getting acquainted with the musical language of Cervantes and Velasquez.

This is the motto of a much interested ,Jiffy body of workers in the fourth grade room. Under Miss Schofield's I supervision, and with their teacher, Miss Walker, as leader, they have Qi- -- 1 organized a Safety First club. The people of this grade have learned that many of the millions of accidents caused in the United States every year, result- ing in death or serious injuries, are caused by carelessness. It is their purpose to help reduce the number of accidents by practicing and preaching safety firstn every- where, to bear in mind the value of human life and a sound body, to take no risks to endanger their own bodies or the life or limb of any other person. Each member knows which side to take on walks, in halls, and going up and down stairs. He goes up and down stairs one step at a time. He looks where re runs. He doesn't jostle in a crowd. He looks and listens for danger signals and heeds them. He knows what to do in case of fire, in case he finds a broken electric wireg a congested fire escape, and many other things which too many people are careless about. This club is a part of the great movement in the United States which has real- ized the importance of educating school children in the principles of safety. This fourth grade class of 1915-16 has the distinction of being the first Safety First club organized in this school.

Because of the enthusiasm and loyalty of its A T members, the society has been able to keep its high standard of literary Q f ' excellence and has enjoyed the large attendance at its meeting that such work merits. This was one of the most successful years in the history of the society, as over one hundred new members were added to the ranks. The new members entered energetically into the work of the society and took a personal interest in making each program a success in every way. During the year entertainments were given. The first one was a hard times social in the gym for new members. Another interesting one was a Yule-tide festival where appropriate refreshments were served. The crowning feature of the year was a minstrel show and comedy farce. This was known as the Jitney Minstrels and was given in the Auditorium before a crowd of over five hundred people. Notwithstanding that the Plats have been very busy rendering these excellent programs and entertainments, they have not lost sight of the fact that they are the possessors of the cup and the prospects are 'very bright that they will continue to be the rightful owners. ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN e Jitney Minstrel MACOMB DAILY JOURNAL PLATUNIAN NIIN- STHEL A SUCEESS LITERARY SOCIETY MAKES DEBUT IN STAGELAND Comedy Farce and Mammoth Minstrel Show Presented-Price Only One Jitney The Platfmian Literary Society of the State Normal won a place in the spotlight last night as comedy entertainers in the presentation of a comedy farce, entitled, ,'Oh Fudge, and stag- ing of a minstrel show. The farce was written by C. C. Clute and was designed to give an intimate picture of social life within the confines of Monroe hall. It was quite clever in plot and well presented by a galaxy of embroyonic pedagogues, some of whom, because of their dramatic success, may be moved to discard educational pursuits and take up the more romantic calling offered behind the footlights or before the moving pic- ture camera. The cast of characters was as follows: Mary Mcllhenny-Miss Mary Mcllhenny. Helen McCrory-Miss Helen McCrory. Roy Beckelhymer-G. E. McCall. Phil Donohoe-Mr. Phil Donohoe, Happy Happen fhoboj-C. C. Clute. The minstrel show which followed was very entertaining, the variety of talent in the so- ciety appearing to good advantage. The jokes and witticisms by the end men were gotten OH well and in addition were given some good popular musical numbers. My Little Girl, Caroline Can't You Hear Me Callin ', Miss Helen McCrory and company. lVhen I Leave the VVorld, sung by George Koch and chorus. Hello! Frisco, Miss Gladys Simpson and company. Just Plant a lVatermelon on My Grave,', by Homer Alden. Shadow Landf' by Miss Dorothy Roark and company. In Ten- nessee, by Brownie Allen and chorus. These were the ensemble numbers presented. In ad- dition Messrs. Donohoe, Allen, Koch and Clute sang a darky Medley Overture that won hearty applause Ernest McCall ably presided as the interloc- utor and the endmen were Phil Donohue, Her- man Allen, George Koch and C. C. Clute. The entertainment was given by the literary society members without faculty coaching or other assistance and they are to be congratu- lated upon the success of the venture. There was a large crowd who got about the biggest jitney's worth of entertainment they ever had.

For a while people thought our society was dead, but not so, the Emers can never die. In the spring new interest was taken in the society and the whole school marveled at the pep and enthusiasm displayed by the Emersonians. In the fall the Emers and the Plats gave a hard time reception to the school in honior of the new members. The social was a great success and was enjoyed by all present. Among our members are renowned orators, declaimers, musicians, debaters, poets, politicians, and athletes, of whom not only the Emersonians but the whole school is proud. In the years to come when we think of the happy days spent at the dear old Normal school, we can not forget the joyful hours spent in connection with our so- ciety. VVe love the society and- lVeire loyal to you, Emersoniang YVe're true white and blue, Emersoniang IVe back you to stand 'gainst the best in the land, For we know you have sand Emersonian. ONE HUNDRED TYVENTY The Amateurian History icy -1155? NE of the most enterprising organizations of the school this year was the Ama- xjibs X' teurian Literary Society, which under the auspices of Miss Olson, reached a de- gree of eflieiency seldom attained by Tenth graders. Its success was partly Q S357 due to what the critics termed, The excellent material in that class. The musical talent of the Society was brought out by the generous assis- tance of Miss Vroman in developing the Amateurian Chorus, with Raymond McFeeters as accompanist, to whom all glory be for the many good musical numbers rendered at each program. Every member of the Society, almost without exception, gave his part of the work hon- est, diligent preparation and helped to carry on the meetings in a business-like manner and to make them successful. Among the' other good qualities of the Amateurians the missionary spirit manifested itself at Christmas when the Amateurian and Lincoln societies donated a Christmas tree to the McDonough County Orphanage. A great variety of programs were presented by the Society during the year, among the topics treated were: Nature, Macomb, Chicago, Extemporaneous Speaking, Debating, Hallowe'en, Christmas and Germany. But the members of the Amateurian Literary Society realizing that there is still room for improvement, do highly resolve: That in the future, even though the yoke of compulsion is lifted, they shall continue along the same course that they have thus far so gloriously followed. That they shall put the best that is in them into their Society and continue to receive therefrom knowledge, pleasure and experience. That, unlike their predecessors, they shall always have a definite subject for consider- ation at each meeting and shall work out the entire program along one line. That they shall never forget their debts of gratitude to those members of the Faculty who gave 'them their first experience in literary work. That they will always uphold the honorable reputation that they have won as mem- bers of the Amateurian Literary Society of 1915-16. DAVID ONE HUNDRED TXVENTY-ONE Xxviniiziafsf, Lincoln Literary Society HE Lincoln Literary Society made its first appearance in public No- vember 29, 1915, several months after its members had launched out on figiijl their career in the ninth grade. The first meeting consisted of the elec- ihiifi ' . - , - . v ' -'MA tion of officers which was a new ex erience for many of us. After bemo' J P . -Q thus organized we felt much stronger and better able to face the world. Owing to the skillful help and advice of Miss Corbin, our beloved teacher, our programs have all been interesting and different. Through her help the Society has attained the high hondr of being the best one since its organization. VVe sincerely hope that we have 'proved to the school that, though we are but Ninth Graders, we are able 'dzo do literary work of a pretty high quality. lVe are particularly proud of one achievement of the year, the winning from the Amateur- ians, of all three of the debates at the time of our joint meeting with them. The Society wishes the future Lincolns honors and great success. but we still hope to retain as Amateurians next year the honor of being the best Society in the VVestern Illinois State Normal. y , 'WVEE Exam ONE HUNDRED TXVENTY-TYVO tl!!

It fears it li will get loose. Ha! Ha ! l !i-I-V iff P The chief engineer and inventor of the mysterious enterprise, Henry Mon- fort, speculated, A tornado properly guarded, would make the desert bloom! If it were not impossible, scoffed Montague. Why tell the town our' tornado will wipe them off the map and tell us it is impossible to start one? inquired Henry, in mock wonder. Such threats and scientific impossibili- ties are so confusing that I already want to sell out cheap. Montague's friend, Dixon, a distinguished engineer, interrupted, Look how the Juan plunges down that hard rock precipice three hundred yards to the north of us, how it has ground out a deep canyon in the softer rock below the falls down to this high but frail dam which is supposed to rival the rock precipice above in closing up the canyon. Behold, gentlemen, the wonderful invention, an open, oblong box with large, arched flood gates in one end. Then he stands a tornado in the middle of the box so it can't get away, for like the elephant, it fears to stub its toes, and it precipitates the moisture in our very humid at- mosphere. This ocean of water runs off thru this dam and down to the shrunken Juan's, extinct lake bed, where instead of being swallowed up by the dry sands of the old lake, as the Juan, it can be stored up by a stout little dam at the lake outlet. A most exquisite idea for extracting moisture! Very ! . A gusto of laughter burst from the crowd. To encourage Ralph Dexter, the embar- rassed young, spendthrift millionaire, who financed the enterprise, Henry ignored Dixon with scorn. Another pair of lips did not smile, a pair of dark eyes flashed fire! Juliet Ramsay, Henry's gifted college friend, turned to her cousin on the outskirts of the crowd and exclaimed, Helen, see the dutiful interest of Montague! He arouses the town and discourages our friends when they have the most machinery and supplies on hand. Of course sacrifice sales never interest him ! No! Montague is merely investigating for the town. The idea of making a tornado! How preposterous! You, Juliet, are responsible for this disastrous loss. It was you who persuaded me to advise Ralph to invest his millions in your Henry's fraud. But look at Ralph. Does he look as though he thought it a fraud to help his fate- shriven friend? demanded the forcedly composed Juliet. He spends no more money on fake gold mines. See how he defies Montague's gang. He looks to you as his supreme ideal of womanhoodf' But Juliet! A tornado! It is impossible ! Before Juliet could reply Montague interrupted Dixon's ridicule and demanded of Henry and Ralph in a voice of affected thunder, You would start a tornado but what of the town? You fiends! lVe will have you arrested for intent to murder!', ONE HUNDRED TYVENTY-FIVE At one hundred yard intervals this canyon is surrounded by mines of two carloads of dynamite each, asserted Henry. Experiments show that no tornado could pass them unless your town gossips willed it. Call the officers, Ramsay! roared Dixon, they have a warrant! The officers, considered Julietis father, why I believe they were told to be on hand at the Montague mine, that a strike or something was expected. Juliet smiled. Traitor,'i implied Dixon's scowl. Handcuffs in an hour for you tornado boomers! threatened Montague. Helen was deeply concerned. Juliet laughed her scorn. Yes, handcuffs for Mon- tague, she agreed, when father charges him with a trumped-up arrest. They are just trying to bluff Ralph and to get his machinery cheap ! But Helen's disapproving concern made Ralph anticipate the handcuffs and the im- possibility of a tornado beyond a small, experimental size. I care not to ruin my reputa- tion for the impossible, he despondently told Henry. I will pay you well for your work, but it must stop ! Despair touched Henry's brow with a leprous hand! The friends of Montague laughed loud and long! .Iuliet's face was ashen and tearless. Heliry appealed to his grim engin- eers, Men! VVe are about to attempt a difhcult engineering feat. These fools interfere! I promise each man five years advance pay if we win. Please conduct this party to their autos, Edward. A 'AI promise- commenced Montague. Edward flourished a dynamite, fulminate of mercury cap, a veritable hand grenade. Hurry now, he urged, get them handcuffsf, A few minutes more and Henry touched a switch. A fierce, continued flash of flame sprang from the central part of the canyon with a. gushing roar. The men became restless under the terrible nerve strain and all gave vent to a wild laugh as a drumming was heard overhead and an aeroplane came alarmedly gliding to earth. An excited young aviator rushed up to Henry's chief engineer. VVhat is' it?'i he demanded, a burning oil gusher? Not exactly, replied the engineer, seeking to ease the awesome strain on men and boss. You see we dug a manhole twenty feet deep in the solidest rock we could find down there in the canyon. Then from the bottom of the shaft we drilled out a big cave for the larger it got the more men could work in it. Next we stopped up the shaft with an arched steel plate a foot thick and led a fourteen-inch pipe down into the vat and back out at the shaft. Then after filling the vat with water we fired the crude oil in the main pipe where it branches into a kind of special furnace, ran compressed air thru the oil, a11d got a fine blast furnace and a first class steam boiler. VVhen we get up enough steam pressure the boss will open the throttle and let the steam up and ahead, so as to make the steam whirl like a tornadof' VVhat for? scoffed the aviator. To start a tornado ! was the reply. Before the aviator could speak suspense mastered all. The hand of the boss quivered, his cheeks were gaunt, and his lips moved like cold flint as leaning over his gauges he mut- tered, Three thousand pounds, two thousand Fahrenheit! and closed another switch. There was a roar as though the fiends of Hades had broken loose and a swirling ser- pent of black, condensing steam gushed skyward in ever broadening. rolling breakers! A ONE HUNDRED TXYENTY-SIX continuous stream of' unchilled air from beneath darkened upward into the vacuum of steam precipitation and its water vapor condensing at the terrific height added still more hom- age to the great Vacuum Deity, which enticed skyward a swifter and yet more furious pageant of the Dark Winds! The men waited, the balances of Fate quiveredg inaction rasped every nerve. Could former scientific accuracy win, the stake? If not-P It's started, boys ! cried Henry, his face wildly gleaming, see it hug the canyon wall, watch it turn at the dam! Acts like a gyroscope. VVhenever it tips over the dam or canyon it goes at right angles to the direction of force. W'e've got it penned! Glories! Look at that torrent! VVater! Water! Hey, you aeroplane kid! Take me to town with the news. Watch her boys. Before the old lake bed gets full give her the dynamite !', Then they were over the city and a sea of upturned faces when a shriek burst from the masses. Behind them came the tornado,-vast and terrible! Quick! For that dynamite truck by the railroad track! At forty miles an hour, right into the teeth of the tornado rushed Henry! Now forty rods away. He stopped the truck, jumped, and ran for his life! There came the usual dyn- amite explosiong the wind struck Henry as a dead weight, and then, oblivion! But when Henry regained consciousness with its racking pain, he overheard joyful news. Juliet, prophesied Mr. Ramsey, to-morrow every newspaper in the nation will ap- plaud the man who faced that tornado. And Montague will be a harmless notoriety, for his half breed spy confessed tampering with a wind pressure, mine exploding cap. This caused premature explosion of the guard mine that was expected to blow up the tornado if it ran amuckf, Yes, but I was fool enough to leave it, added Henry, and I suppose my men got scared and shot the dynamite too soon, probably a good distance in front of it. Then the dynamite would tend to tip the tornado, and it acting like the stabalizing gyroscope on a ship, pushed at right angles to the force and tore itself right over the canyon wall! Say, I'm off to explain to the town why it jumped the canyon!i' cried Mr. Ramsay, in admiration. Montague's warrant for your arrest came indeed too late. Everybody will be after water rights now.', Henry you have accomplished the miraculous. You have invented cyclone irrigation! triumped Juliet. But if you hadn't influenced Helen to secure me Ralplfs capital and wrecked Mon- tague's bluff, reminded Henry, I could never have tested my project. I owe the very in- vention and engineering of the tornado to the inspiration of your sympathy. Hold, Sir Magician 1 laughed Juliet, you are' far too flattering for a proper conjuror of tornadoes. i Then I propose to conjure a socialistic community on some of this cyclone irrigated land, planned Henry. I hope to demonstrate a convincing experiment in socialismf From science to politics? questioned Juliet. But I understand, you must conjure new worlds to conquer.

WVe are very grateful to those who have hitherto persisted in remairling at a safe distance-especially ta those who neither subscribe nor contribute. But even as ye have asked for this even so will it be-well, we have forgotten how it runs. but the gist of it is that you are going to get what you asked for and what you least expect. First of all, the Courier door is locked, so we must prevail upon the janitor for a key. But the janitor isn't in sight, so we must get a search warrant and hunt him down. This spoils about forty-five minutes of YV. I. N. standard time, but you would have a hard time to prove it by the clocks. But what is time ta us? YVe never get in a hurry, anyhow, be- cause. we haven't time. After we had found the janitor and implored his key. he very good-naturedly tells us that he opened the door about a half-hour ago, shortly after he saw us trying to get in. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY .... . ,x...-L-........- However, everybody likes to joke us, so we think the janitor is only jollying and we insist on carrying his key back to the office. VVhen we get there we find that he has told the truth, and the work of the Courier is on in full force. The first one to greet us is a sober, non-fearing, law-abiding gentleman who eyes us critically. He is our general overseer, but if you have led a pious life and have accompan- ied Teddy in Africa you need have no cause for fear. The next one is a musical-looking genius who jerks the Archimedian lever early and late in the cause of the Courier. YVhen the paper comes out on Friday we find him jerking the lever late. Occasionally he gets his wires crossed. But we started in to tell you about a newspaper, 11ot about an almost blighted romance. Before us we see a gentleman seated at a table busily engaged. lVe rudely think he is using a nut-pick to manicu1'e his finger nails, but he happens to be the head cartoonist sculpturing out a design on a chalk plate. If our lives were insured we would have him explain the process to us, for every cartoonist likes to answer questions when he is at work. VVe move on further away from the door to make room for a countless horde pouring in and out like a swarm of bees. Each one yells, More copy! hangs a volume on a hook, and departs for more. This is the staff of reporters. VVe do not try to count them, but as we watch we conclude that in the main, all of this coming and going is done by the as- sistant editor-he whose burden is a dependable genius for writing up assignments which some backsliders have overlooked. In bustles an individual with a pencil behind his ear and his hands full of documents. This is the business manager. He has a date with his girl for the basket ball game that evening and it is his business to get someone to sell tickets in his place. Over at the side of a table there sits a fellow stooped over a voluminous register. That is the advertising manager, but just now he is working on a lesson plan instead of an adver- tisement. lVe are about to speak to him when a wiry individual rushes in and scares every one stiff by yelling, ls the Courier out? He is the circulation manager. After he has whooped and terrorized everyone, he turns and exits as abruptly as he entered. His duty is now over for that edition. Over in a corner of the window there is perched on a high pedestal a lank. weary. for- lorn, disconsolate, woe-begone. semi-fossilized, thin-haired individual. That is the editor. Space, but not subject, forbids more adjectives. VVe shall not tell him his hair is thin. No one else has ever told him, and so we shall let him continue blindly on. Furthermore. a crowbar leans up against the corner within easy reach of him, so, as we said before, we shall not remind him of his hair. Just now, as we see him, he is chasing thoughts around in the high ethereal and embellishing the clouds with rosy tints of genius. But soon we find a more interesting subject over in the northwest corner. It is an object that we find dangling from a roller. It looks as if someone had tried to pull a huge batch of taffy and had given more thought to exercise than sanitation. It is the printers' towel! It contains every hue of the rainbow, if all rainbow hues were of earthy color. 'We have all had a hand in the making of that towel, and yet the strange part of it is that it can never be analyzed individually, collectively, or chemically. VVe pass out the door to take the elevator and climb four flights of stairs and walk one block west. Here we enter a room, and behold a diminutive individual assiduously applying herself to her seven different callings. There is a halo of light around her head, or there would be if she could reach the electric light button. Verily, she is our proof reader. WVith a golden sieve she doth sift all sands of genius that come to her. To some of the sifted par- ticles she applies sand paper with such brilliant results that we are dazzled. Her reward is where ours will never be. VVe know, as you read the last of this, you will wonder that we did not explain the rea- son why articles that are written by any member of the school other than a staff member never came out in print. We cannot go into detail about this. Suffice to say, that the utmost care and vigilance is exercised in keeping any common student from writing up articles. Something awful would happen to him, but as yet we do not know what it is. because no student has ever tried it.

On the fourth day the Tribe of It murmured unto each other: Let us choose four angels and two from our midst to represent usg let it be the duty of these chosen ones to immortal- ize us by making hieroglyphic inscriptions on tablets of stone. On the fifth day the tribe did electioneer and elect. And it came to pass that on the sixth day six of the tribe were chosen and admonished as follows: Thou art going on a long and tedious journey. Therefore take thou with thee a staff as a lever, and a bag of nerve for the way is fraught with vicissitudes. If ever thy heart fail thee in the day of adversity come unto us and we will give thee cheer. Thou wilt find this a good year for the cheering business. Therefore set out. Thy bent and thy wit they comfort us. Seek and ye shall find-maybe. Ask and it shall be given thee-perhaps. And on the seventh day the Tribe of It rested. And amongst them some jinx of a Joshua did command the sun and moon to stand stillg and thus the seventh day hath never ended for the tribe.

An abundance of raw material was worked in and the principles of the game were instilled. Our first game with VVilliam and Vashti did not prove the old adage, A rolling stone gathers no moss, as VV. and V. kept rolling, and at the end of the game it was found that they had accumulated quite a large amount of moss. ' This was the worst defeat of the season and from it our warriors gathered much experience if not scores. We next journeyed to Canton, Missouri, and played the Christian College team and were defeated by a small score. The Normal suffered a run of hard luck and was defeated in the last ten seconds of play by a fluke. Hedding next attacked us on our own field and was victorious by a few points, Carthage came next and although beaten in scores, the game was very close. On Thanksgiving Day the Normal risked all and played the local High School on the Normal field. The Normal was victorious and at no time was in danger of being scored upon. The final results of the game did not show how completely the Normal outclassed the High School. The following men were honored by receiving the school letters for their ser- vices: Knight, center, VVetzel, manager and tackle, Bradley, tackle, Huey, quar- ter, Koch, half, Allen, end, Smick, end, Strickler, guard, VVhittaker, guard, Coats. full back, Morgan, half, Robertson, end, and VVilliams, quarter. gh X ur j -' s .

Basket Ball The basket ball season of 1916 was not an overwhelming success from the side of game winning and point-getting, but it was a success in that we started with green men and molded them into a good basket ball team by the close 'of the season. The six letter men are McDonough, Freeman, Wetzel, Morgan, Dunham, and Wiilliams. McDonough was a quick, speedy man and a very accurate basket shooter. Freeman was there with the goods after he learned a few of the finer points of the game. lvetzel was a mainstay at guard after he knew just what to do. Morgan was a hard man to keep away from at guard and was also a very good basket shooter. Dunham was a sticker and if a man shot a basket it wasnit his fault. VVilliams was a good cooperative player and a good basket shooter. lvhile the first team was battling with the schools of the Little Eighteen, a tournament was in progress at home. The teams were divided into two groups, the Senior and the Jun- ior. Briggs won the championship of the Senior group in a walk away, but he was doomed to receive a clubbing at the hands of Yaap, the winner of the Junior division, who won the tournament by defeating Briggs. To this team was awarded a fine silver loving cup. The men's names which were .put on the cup were as follows: Yaap, Young, Carson, Ledger- wood, and Adams. The 1916 basket ball season saw the initial academy team for the lVestern Normal. This team 'played several of the nearby towns and competed in a high school basket ball tour- nament which was held at ,the Normal, March 10-11. However, this team was rather new at basket ball and suffered defeats, excepting on one occasion. Following are the men that composed this team: Millson, L. Hageman. C Hageman, Ellis, Chipman, Pittenger, Smith, and Briggs. 1 ONE ,HUNDRED FORTY ig BACK Row-Left to Right-Knapheide, Nyquist, Rockwell CCoachj, Grifliths, Ellison Fnoxr Row-Left to Right-Greuel, Kost, Miller Girls, Basket Ball Team WVhen the call came in chapel for all girls desiring to play basket ball, the largest number in years flocked to the gym to register as stars in the feat of basket throwing. The class teams were organized and divided into two groups, the Junior and Senior. The Junior group consisted of the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Grades and the Country School class. The Senior group consisted of the Junior and Senior classes. The winning team in the tournament of the Junior group was to play the winning team of the Senior group for the class championship. The Juniors and Sen- iors took a vote as to whether the winning team should be the one winning two out of three games or three out of five and the votes resulted in favor of three out of five. The interest was intense in both groups throughout the tournament and the games were hard fought. The twelfth grade team won in the Junior group and the Seniors in the Senior group. iVhen the last game was called the gym was filled with eager spectators. The game was a fight from the start until the whistle blew, telling that the Seniors had won the championship. This same team won the championship as Twelfth grades and as Juniors. The basket ball season was interesting and those who participated in the games were sorry when the season closed. This great num- ber of girls saw the need of physical training as well as mental training, and so took advantage of the offer given them. ONE HUNDRED FORTXYONE '41 l l Base Ball After the school basket ball tournament was over, interest naturally turned to base ball. Prospects for an unusually successful team were not very bright. Bill Coats was practically the only hold over member, as Huey quit school when the spring quarter opened. Outside of several practice games the only game played when this was written was the one lost to Lombard. The weather was miserable for practice, but the boys made the best of it and came out under all conditions. Coach Jay was much encouraged when the mid-spring session started because two or three former players put in their appearance and things began to look brighter. As the heavy end of the schedule remains to be played it is entirely possible for the team to make a good showing. The batting w-as improving and it was better stick work that was needed. Donohoe, in center, was the best early season sticker.

The men wereialso handicapped for awhile by the lack of equipment, but this was quickly remedied. . Leland Smith was elected captain early in the season and he, with the help of Messrs. Dowell, Hudelson and Franquemont, at once started work with the follow- ing men: Ellis, Briggs, Foley, Sykes, Horney, Millsom, Hageman, VVilson, Jenkins, Carson, Stickle, and Floyd Adams. An attempt was made to get into the McDonough County Track and Field Meet held on Normal field April 29, but owing to the lateness of the application we were not permitted to enter. However, next year we hope to be one of the contesting schools. Prospects are bright for the annual Neighborhood Track and Field Meet May 13, and our team may expect some spirited competition, since some of the strongest high schools in the Military Tract are entered. Our Class Day Field Meet, to be held May 26, is going to be one of the closest fought contests in the history of the school, it is very doubtful who will win the banner this year. During the latter part of May the Little Eighteen Conference, of which we are a member, will hold its annual meet at Jacksonville under the auspices of Illinois College. Of course we shall be represented, since we have some very promising track material in our Normal School. v W. A. WN Qin? . V, I sm 'Stir I ue? NWI J ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FOUR Tennis Tournament Kind Friend: Have you ever marathoned with Old Sol in the dawning hours of the day and scurried across a campus bejeweled with dew to have a tete-a-tete across the netg have you ever forestalled the pangs of hunger when Old Sol smiled vertically on you to have the singular opportunity of bowing to plaudits from empty bleachersg have you ever smashed right and left across the net in the rosy tints of sunset in order to appease your frolicsome humor? If so, then you are in a fair mood to appreciate the trials and joys experienced by the wee multitude in the above chef-d'oeuvre. In the days of Indian summer the courts were populated continuously from morn till eveg yea, even later-a few devotees fain would have exchanged three hours of study for a lantern, but no one had thc lantern. In those good old days there sprang upon the horizon many artists of the racquet. So many embryonic champions budded that it required no genius of history to foresee that such dexterity would sooner or later cause a war cloud to hover over the courts. The culmination of this was a tour- nament this spring in which the differences were plinked out across the net. This tournament proved to be the mostlenjoyable phase of athletics this spring. There were menls and women's singles, and doubles, and mixed doubles. At all hours of the day did wild-eyedienthusiasts rush helter-skelter about the school with a rac- quet and a pair of shoes under one arm and a belligerent intention and date book under the other. As the SEQUEL goes to press the outcome of the tournament is still hanging in the balance.

Miss Hinkel's drama class originated the plang later it formulated the ideas and selected the songs and dances. W'ith the wealth of Shakespearean material in our Normal, the class was able to write a more appropriate pageant than could be pur- chased elsewhere. The members were as follows: Herman Allen Vera Hickman Orvall Briggs Chas. Knight ,Esther Colvin Ruby Johnson Leta Carlin Alva Pearsall Roy Henning Carl Rinehart Grier Hermetet Gertrude Smith Their ideas were elaborated and completed and the dialogue written by the spring dramatization class.

FRANQUEMONT ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SEVEN Silly sins A SOURCE or HAPPINESS The day was dark, my spirits low, The world looked bleak and glumg I had no pride in time gone by, Nor hope of things to come. My lesson plans were streaked with red My tests were marked with Dg The teachers thought I was a crook, And gave no sympathy. My pocketbook was Hat as flat, No check was diue from Dadg The landlord clamored for his due, My creditors were mad. My friends had all gone back on me, I faced the world in shameg My relatives all thought I had Disgraced the family name. But suddenly, as down the hall I walked with downcast head, There came a light into my life That raised the weight of lead. Oh, what was it that caused the change, That raised the cloud of gloom? WVhat was it that made the light- All radiant the room? Did I receive a check from home? Did fortune favor me? Did some dear teacher change his ways, And all his errors see? Oh, nog it wasn't that at allg You've missed the mark a mile I I met a girl, who there bestowed On me a longed-for smile. From that hour on I lived anew, And walked with livened stepg My gloom was scattered to the winds, In place was vim and pep. No more will I in all my life Succumb to trials galoreg I'll bring her smile back to my mind, And woes shall be no more. -Silly Billie ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT amp-o-graphs N.

SPRING JINGLES The apple blooms are all a droppin', And Pa says, My, ain't things a hoppin' l He hurries 'round in his new jeans, And Ma starts out to hunt for greens. The garden's up and looking prime: The cutworms they attack on time. And never stop until theylve et Their bloomin, stumicks full, you bet. Which causes Pa to rave and roar I-Ie'll buy tomato plants once more: He'll spray them all with deadly lead. For that will knock worms in the head. And then they'll get their own just dues. The kids begin to need new shoes, And when thcy're bought they rub a blis- ter. The wind comes up, a regular twister. And blows a rain that makes things wet. The hens they all begin to set, And every box and barrel and bin Is sure to have a biddy in To jump and scream as if from fear, And likely take you in the ear. The birds are carrying straws and strings, And various lengths of other things, And stakin' out their claims in trees. And Pa, he 'lows that fur as he sees, That with all its heats anid damps and muds, And rheumatis and frosted spuds, The spring's the grandest time of all. lVhen things look best on this old ball. -Peter 32 32 32 Mr. I-Iursh's class in English IV were studying The Great Carbuncle.
