Z1 Epps nf Sandal life at the Enya' Eormitnrp On the twenty .seventh day of the second month of the year nineteen hundred and nine, the tribe of tl1e boys d01'lllltO1'y did sununon to their halls the students of the normal and low and behold a great multitude did assemble and rejoice thereat. There were huntreses, queens, cowgirls, coons, the nightly police force and all other kinds of peo- ple from the earth. In the beginning theyydid wander to one vacant room where lo! they did behold an animal and all stood about marvelling at the immensity of .the ground hog. Straightway, Joe of the House of Gibbs, did lead the crowd to the top of the Golden Stair but, lo and behold! before St. Peter could open the pearly gate they did shoot the shoots to the lower regions. Yea,' they did shoot the shoots more than need be. At the entrance of the lower region, they re- ceived a pass, with which they were allowed to gaze at the Wingless bats. From here they journ-1 eyed thru the colonnades to behold Mars, and it came to pass that their faces were smitten with drops of water. Thence they did advance to the abode of mighty Dotson, where in was found the sun dog. And it came to pass that there was a great feast pre- pared for the weary and they were filled thereof. After refreshing their tired bodies, they were once again lcd up the long steps by lrving of the House of Hillman to see the poll cat and the links playing with the English hares. Then Pike of the House of Sears and Irving of the House of Hillman did perform great things before the multitude and there was great rejoic- ing.

QHJIBUKB By John Hillman In the earlier part of the life of the Albion State Normal School, athletics did not play a very important part. Later the school took up track exercises and b.aseball. Track meets were held between the so-cieties, and between the classes. Baseball was played with the town team. After a time track exercises were abandoned al- together then foot-ball was taken up and Pro- fessor R. C. Thompson secured as coach. Pro- fessor Thompson proved to be one of the best coaches in the state. In two years from an inex- perienced mob of boys who had never played a game of foot-ball, he made a championship team. The first foot-ball team was formed in nineteen- five. Not a player on the team had ever played before so it was not surprising that this team went down to defeat. The first game was played with the Academy of Idaho and resulted in a score of fifty-four to nothing in favor of the Academy. The second game resulted in a score of thirty-four to nothing in favor of the Academy. In the fall of nineteen six the tables were turn- ed. The Erst game was played on the Albion grounds, neither team scored. Then the Albion team went to Pocatello and defeated them six to nothing. The base-ball team of that year played its first games with other schols. Albion lost one game to Pocatello Academy and won one. The Academy basket-ball girls defeated the Al- bion girls once and were themselves defeated once. The football season of nineteen seven opened with a game between Albion and the Pocatello High School. Neither team scored. Then Albion easily defeated the Idaho Falls team. After this game, the Pocatello Academy was brought to Albion for a practice game. The game resulted in a score of six to two in favor of the Academy. Albion went to Pocatello a few weeks later to play for the championship of the southeastern di- vision of the state and was defeated by a score of eleven to nothing. -In base ball that year Albion won every game on he schedule excepting the one with the Academy. After a hard-fought game of ten innings the Acad- emy won by a score of eleven to seven. The basket-ball girls lost one game and won one from both the Academy and the Twin Falls High School. Tl1e foot-ball team of nineteen-eight began the season by defeating tl1e Twin Falls High School. The score stood fifteen to nothing in favor of Al- ion. The next game, played with the Blackfoot High School was another victory for Albion. ,The op- posing team did not score. Albion scored, eleven points. I I Albionis next game was with her old rival, the Pocatello Academy. In this game Albion made her highest score of tl1e season, defeating the visi- tors twenty-one to nothing. Up to this time no team had crossed the Albion goal line. This left Albion champion of the southeastern division of tl1e state. ' After a hard trip to Caldwell Albion was de- feated by the College of Idaho, Thanksgiving day, eleven to nothing. The girls' basket ball team made a splendid record this season, defeating the Twin Falls High School once and the Pocatello Academy once, but losing the championship to the Academy in the last game.
