a O ■j Aj ' THE SEQUEL 1318 Western (llinois State Normal School May This The 1918 Sequel Hiiixci Greetings To THE Al.UMNI AND StCDEXTS 01 ' THE Westeisx Illinois State Xoumal School I ' liO.M The Senior Class FOREWORD In offering this, the fifteenth vol- ume of The SEQi ' i ' .r., we liave en- (lea ' ore(l to poi-tray the events and aetivities of our Xoi ' inal days, lio])- inf - to arouse in the hearts of the Ahinini reniiniseenees of days gone liy and inspiring a higher. l)roader spirit among the student hody. It is to Miss Cora M. Hamilton whose wise counsel and thoughtful consideration has won our utmost admiration and regard that we, the Class of Nineteen Eighteen dedicate this SEQUEL. AN APPRECIATION l E day. in a little New England vil- lage, tliere was born one wlio was des- tined to become a factor in this world ' s events, tliough little did those about her dream it. As she grew older, her father ever instilled in her words of wisdom and worthy thoughts ; day by day slie gnw into a life full of ))erseverance. knowledge. and love. Now she h.is dwelt .among us for m.any years. At times she enhances our ears with beautiful tales ; at other times she hath aided the Seniors and Juniors, in their arduous task of teaching, to come to a fuller enjoyment and a greater degree of assurance in the work they have elected to do. When perplexities have filled our minds, she has helped us to solve them; when fears have over- come us. she hath driven them away; when the children we were teaching would not behave she has made them do it. — yea. many times, yet her children ever love her. She insjjires us to higher ideals, .she fills our days with brightness. It is. therefore, to one whom we all know and deeply appreciate that we, the Senior Class do dedicate this the 1918 Seqi ' kl, — Miss Cora M. Hamilton. TO OUR ALMA MATER Normal, we sing thy praises. Thy beauty, tliy power, thy fame; Each loyal heart now raises A cheer to the endless name. Drink we our Alma Mater; Hurrah for the Purple and Gold ! Drink we our Alma Mater; Hurrah for the Purjile and Gold ! From the f.ir off Pacific, Florida and Ja)).in. Fear not ex.ams terrific. Gather we all who can.

The Twelfth (irath- iias liad a lariie part in all of the selioo] aetivities of this year. In i)ul Iie si)eal infj the ' I ' welftli (irade furnislied a representative in oratory and oru- in exteni) orancous speaking in the contest witli Old Xornial. In dramatics tlie Twelftli (irade ]jresented their annual class play, The Romaneers. with great success. With the iiclp of the Klcventh Grade the (ireen Door was formed and gave a Christmas Festival and five one-acl plays. In foot hall four nun from our grade made the Normal team and Hvc- were on the Academy team. Three men from the class of IS were on the Normal liaski t hall squad and rive out of the rirst seven men on the Academy team were of the Twelftli grade. The hoys of the Twelfth Grade won the boys ' class basket ball tournament and the girls the girls ' tournament.

As there is no model rural school here in whit ' h we may do pr.aetiee teaching, a new pl.an was tried out whereby those expecting to graduate this year were sent out to various country schools to observe and to do practice teacliing for two weiks ; the tcaclier in the sciiool in tiiis case being tiic critic, and Miss Grote, who visited all the sciioois, lieing tile Director of Kducation.

A acmdlv number of botli veterans and new aspirants answered tlie eall and besjan ])raetiee foil of (islit and the determination to i)nsli the 1917 season to a successful finish. Among the veterans back in the harness from last year ' s team were Hill ' Hussell. lull back; Dago Decker and Jerry Pugh. tackles; Tlieda Lemmer, center; Scott Whittaker. guard; Adams. Cro.xton and Sykes. ends and tackle. Among the new men were War-horse Branic. back from the days of ' 13 and ' 1 1 ( V. I. N.) ; Fats Turner and Tipton, from H. S.; and others. Some t)f the new men lacked in ex)ierienee but what they lacked in this res])eet. they more than made up in fight and hard work. Coach Jay ' s one big problem was to find substitutes to Kll the positions left vacant by in- jured players. At no one time during the entire season did the squad number more than four- teen, while the majority of the time there were but twelve warriors fit for battle. The W. I. N. warriors went up against some of the strongest teams in the Conference and won two out of six games jilayed. These victories wcr ' the shining events of the season, and. in view of the fact that the defeats were handed to us by older and more ex))erienced players, we have no reason to feel down in the mouth l ecause our defeats numbered twice our vic- tories. Each defeat served as a stimulant to greater effort and harder work on the part of both the coach and squad. In this way the team gradually developed in strength and ability until they were able to defeat our old rivals. Hedding and St. Francis. ' e may well feel proud of the efforts and spirit of each member of the squad. We feel that the 1917 season has been a success — not alone in the number of victories but also in the sense of true sjiortsmansliip. .So here ' s to the ' arsity of 1917. Pugh. Captain R. H. B.

' riiroiiciliout the i.irlv his- tory of the school, hoys ' eoni))etitive athletics were limited to a single varsity tiani in each of the four standard eollegiate sports. These teams helonged to the Xormal Course, but inehuhd the prejiaratory students. This system had its disadvantajjes on account of the rule prohibiting -any oni- student from engaging in more th.an four years of college .ithlttics. and on account of the immaturity of most of the boys be- low the twelftii gr.ade. by far the greater number of whom wen ' un.dile to oht.iin .iny .athletic training in the high school course here. The entry of the Academic track te.am in the Neighborhood Tr.ack and l ield Meet in 1914 and tile formation of an Academy Basketball team in 191.

K. V. H. ACADEMY FOOT BALL ' r HE Aradfmy Football Team in 1917 was tlu- first al- A tem))t of tlif Normal Acaclniiy to support a t ' ootball team. Practically tlie whole team was made u]) of men tli at had never played tlie game before. Five games were |)layed during the .sea.son, ali of which were on our home tield, ex- cepting one. The first three games of the season were lost by a considerable score, but the boys came back the latter part n the seas(ui with plenty of pep an{l In-ought our rectu-d to a liiglier level. They were going so good at the finish of the season tliat they were all sorry when the season was over. The first game of the season was with Quincy High School and was played here. The boys were up against trained veterans and showed themselves to be beginners. Our boys had the ' isitors outclassed in every way except in ex- |)erience. The lack of experience showed u|i in the final score which w.as SS-O in favor of Quincy. This did nit discourage the hoys in .any way. for they went t) Knowille to Jilay St. Albans a few days later, full of spirit and confident of their ability to defeat the Knoxville team. The strange field and lack of exi)ericnce away from home caused them to meet with the same bad luck and the game ended with a score of 33-0 in f.a -or of the opposing team. The next g.-Hiu- w.as of :iu e!itirely different sort. It was ])layed on our home Held with Cialesburg High Scl iool, one of the liest Higli .School teams in this part of tlie state. The game was fast and snappy and w.as a fight from start to tinisi). but the Cialesburg boys had the Academy boys outweighed and outclassed in general. The game w.as by no means i walk-away, although the final score was 33-6 in favor of Cialesburg. The excellent pl.aying displayed in and .after this game, led u i to the defeat of St. Albans a week or two later, by an overwhelming score of 32-0. This gave our boys utmost confidence in themselves to win the city championship from Macomb High School. This game, which was played on Thanksgiving day. w.as one of the best and most exciting ever witnessed on this field, but by some almost mir.ieu- lous streaks of hard luck, the Academy lost to the local H. S. by a close score of 9-7. This closed the season with the boys feeling that much had been accomplished. Taking into consideration the bunch of novices that came out the first of the season and the diligent work of C ' o.ich ,l.iy, a team was develo))ed which might well be called successful, .and .as most of the boys will be h.ick next year, prospects look bright for a winniuii- team. ?Jin€iyt}tie f-f .v Xita ACADl ' .MV SCIIKinT.K ( iiiiicy SI.

His weight and exijerience stood l)im in good stead and was always used with telling ef- fect. This completes his second and last year on the team, as he graduates in July. Captain-elect Leon (Big Chief) Hageman. forward, always showed the fight of .1 re.il chief. This is his first year witli the varsitv and he ])roved himself to be of real stuff. His floor work and ])assing was of high class. He will pilot the team next year. Howard ( Rex) Rexroat. center and back guard, another new man and a big factor in keep- ing down the enemy ' s count.

Tlie scenery and properties for the production were most distinctive and appropriate, duf in large measure to the efficient and untiring work of Mr. Gerald Pugh. Biitli tlie scenery and properties belong to tlie dramatic department and may be used in future plays. The music, under the direction of Miss Editli Dallam, added greatly to the effectiveness of the play. The melodies were composed and arranged by Miss Dallam especially for the occa- sion, and the class is indebted to her for her artistic contributions. The action was bright, and witliout the dragging pauses wliich so often mar amateur pro- ductions. ' e forgot — and it was easy — that tlie actors were amateurs, and that tlie stage with its maze of color and all the niceties of detail represented their own work.

Oil.- Hundred Eleven i THE WESTERN STAGE PLAYERS TMK Western Stage Players is tlic unusual ninie tliat lias been eliosen for a society organized this year that took the place of the former ohl-tiine rivals — the Platonian and Kmerson- ian Literary Societies. The Society diflfers from the above named in two r s|n ' ets: I ' irst; It is dramatic rather than literary. Second: Memberslii|) is possible otdy for the .iuuiors. Seniors, Speci. ' ils or Collejie students. The ottieirs of this organization are elected to serve for a y ar inste.id of being eleeted each (|U.irter. The officers elected this year proved very (■.■ipalile in ac eoniiilisliing llicir duties. While sonu ' of them have rather novel titles, yet their work is well-defined. I ' nder the competent supervision of Miss Eloise Ramsey, several of the modern plays h.ive bicn read and selected for jjublic rendition, namely: Hy.ieinth H.ilvey, The Fifth Com- m.andment. ,Foint Owners in Spain, The ' iolin .M.aker of Cromona.

Since most tlu-.itrts tlirougliout tlie last century had an apartnuiit known as tlic (jrevn room, wIrtc professional actors met. rehearsed their lines, and improved their art. and since a door was incidentally eonnei ' tid with the foimdini; of this society, its name is considered an .a| pro- ])riate one. The worh of the society duriiiij the year has been to stiinnlate soci.al interc ourse amonp; its memliirs. to study and create interest in the dr.ima, and to ])resent in an amateur way a limited number of plays and festivals. It was on the nijfht of December l.jth that the club ftavc its first public performanci ' . a I ' ioneer Christmas Festival, with its scttinfj in old Kaskaskia about ISli). Karly in the new year multiple casts bcftan work on three one-act plays which were presented in M.iv. Whatever success these productions : r aeliieved is larijily due to Miss Kluise Ham- sey. the I ' hib ' s com|ietent director and f.aithful friend. .Since a laryi ' ]iart of tile school ' s best talent .and .ability is usu.ally to l:e found in the two cl.asses to which membership is open and since an additio]]al reiiuirement is .a respectable amount of scholarship which must be maintained by every participant, the name Green Door has come to stand for enter))rise. education, enjoyment, and pi-ogress. The officers. R. McFeeters, presi- dent: Kdward Foley, vice ])residcnt ; Fern (rabtree. secretary-treasurer, .and Floyd Hagcr, stage man.imr, have received the enthusiastic sui)))ort of each iharter member to such an extent that it is safe to prophesy that in the future the work they have thus f.ir so nobly advanced will continue to be carried on, and each graduating class of the Academy will interest and instruct the .Junior grou|) in the be.iuty. ])ower. ))leasure. and ])athos to be found in dram.itie literature and art. Each alumnus, though going far from the circle drives of our campus, will be better pre- liared to plav his jiart in the great scenes of life ' s drama for having been trained in the Green Door Dram.atic Club.

One hluiidicd Fiuirli ' cii THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL IN accordancf with tin- . tatt-widf plan to make tills year a series of centennial eelebratuins. the Green Door presented a Pioneer Clirlstmas Festival In Old Kaskaskla on the nine- teenth of December. Tlie festival had Its settlna; In the Gymnasmra which was converted into the living room of an old-fashioned tavern, with its g-iant fire place, spinning wheel and bar, its rugs, hides, guns and antlers, and was strikingly illuminated by red clusters and candles. French and English settlers mingled with friendly Indians on the tavern floor, ,ill in the most picturesque costumes, and all participating in the games, dances, and refreshments. The audience which viewed the scene from the track above were also hioluded in the luncheon. Many declared that the festival was one of the ])rettiest they had ever seen and all .agreed that the plan of working out the Yule-tide customs of the early settlers of our state had been a decided success.

Some of the programs given during tlie year were upon the .suhject of war. its effect upon the different classes of people, upon science and upon literature. The Christmas meeting and the joint debates between the Lincolns and the Amateurians which were held in March were especially interesting. Ve Museum of Ye Olde Times was held in Society Hall on December fifth and sixtli. The ) roceeds amounting to $18.00 were given to tlie War Relief Fund. The Museum contained over four hundred articles. Mrs. Bacon and Mrs. Jenkins, of Macomb, served tea in the Museum the first afternoon it was open. On Friday Amateurian girls dressed in quaint old-fashioned costumes, were hos- tesses. Tlie antiques consisted of many old books, papers, magazines, Indian and Ciiinese relics, samplers, linuns. quilts, laces, guns, powder horns, pine torches, candles, etc. Among the arti- cles on the table of pewter was a percolator used at General Grant ' s wedding in 1848. An- other article of great interest was a soup tureen from wliieh Lincoln and Douglas were served. Several articles have been contributed for the i)ermanent Sluseum which the Amateurians expect to open in the new building. The last meeting of the Society was a picnic witii tlie Lincoln Society ' .

The jiroijrams liavc consisted of i)arliamentary law drills, talks on the war. news from the front, current events, debates and musical numbers. As has been the custom for a number of years, the Christmas program was a joint meeting of the I.ineoln and Amateurian Societies in which everyone hroujjht some article ttf eloth- ing. food, or toys for the benefit of the MeDonough County Orphanam . Throughout the entire year the iJneolns have manifested great intenst in the work. In the annual debating eonlest held in the s})ring between the Amateurians and I.ineolns. the l.incolns won one debate out of three.

This year our interest in Red Cross and patriotic activities re- placed somewhat the op|)ortunity for such gatherings. It was therefore decided to use instead, a class hour once a month for programs that should be less formal than regular class work. Stories were dramatized, poems recited, games played, and some original work was done. The Christmas Festival was an attem])t to imitate the ancient Yule celebrations of the North wilh the burning of the Jul or wheel, and lighting the torches from the tire to carry home to the new .Jul Log. The trip into the ravine, the burning of the .Jul. and the return to the building were something of an experience for us all. One Hundred Twoity-Hz ' c V. M. C. A. Till ' .

Both the stafT and the reporters have taken nuieh interest in the paper this year, wliieh h.is made tlie paper unusually good. Many of tlie issues h.ive been double. The pajier has been lively, wide-awake and well written. A new feature has been the Bugle Notes, giving the addresses of the boys from this school who are in the service and also from time to tinu ' interesting bits of news received from these same boys by students or faculty members. The Voice of the Student. another new department, gives the students an opportunity to express their viewpoints upon tlie various ecuiditions existing in the school. Contrary to what might be expected, this has not led to any violent emotional outbursts for the criticisms offered have always been constructive.

The pres- ence of a Catalytic agent such as love increases the speed and tem])er.ature of tlie re- action. Tile reaction is therefore extolurmic in the jircsence of a catalytic agent.
