On these two bodies, alone, depend the standing and welfare of the school. As (In- students have been d iscussed elsewhere, we devote these lines to t he faculty. The Spearfish Normal faculty is in a class by itself. It would be hard to find another group of teachers so earnest, so efficient, so devoted to their chosen work. A great many of these have not only made teaching their lilV work, but have added to this the responsibility of building up the Spearfish Norma) School and the surrounding community, and have spent the best years of their lift ' , wholly in accomplishing this one glorious aim. Teachers of t his kind are the ones who can be thoroughly loyal to t he school , and deeply interested in the individual progress of every pupil, and leave a Lasting impression upon the students. Not only is their influence felt in the school room, but in outside act ivi t ies as w el I. Few people realize the importance ol teaching, hut what re- forms have been accomplished in this world except through the efforts of great teachers? Examples of the past have shown us that trained teachers are the only teachers who are worthy of the name, and these can be trained only in our up-to-date and ef- ficient Normal Schools. The fact that we have such an able faculty is due to the un- tiring efforts of our beloved president. As a token of our ap- preciation, we wish to say thai we would not exchange our faculty for that of anv other school. Dl !Pff®Bfi fl iIEL3 T l . COOK ' S career as an educator has been lonp and varied, lie has i mi 1 his whole heart and sou I into tin- betterment of educational conditions and has certainly accomplished great results. The first work attempted by )r. Cook along educational lines was in Minnesota. He was graduated from the State Normal School at Winona in LS66. For three years lie taught in country and village schools, and later for one year in the Minneapolis Commercial School. Following this in 1872, he was made city superintendent of schools at Sauk Centre, and his work lay along a somewhat different line of education. 1 1 is last posit ion in Minnesota was that of county superintendent of schools in ( )1 rusted County. During this time his work was directly connected with rural schools. lie had a chance to become closely associated with the teachers and their work, and saw that the schools were in a I); id condition. This was due to the fact that teachers were a! lowed to teach who were totally unfit for their work. Dr. Cook tried to better these conditions in many ways. He was instructor in t hirty- eight teachers ' institutes in Minnesota, and he worked faithfully for the cause of better rural schools. When a call came in 1885 for Dr. Cook to take charge of the establishment of a Stale Normal School at Spearfish, be saw an opportunity for a great work to be done along educational lines. His experience as county superintendent in Minnesota showed him that the poor conditions of rural schools was due to inef- ficient teachers. So he labored to build up an Institution wherein teachers could be trained in their work. We all know tin struggle of those first years. From a small school in which he did most of the teaching, a school devoid of apparatus, library, ami other necessary material, has grown the present splendidly equipped State Normal School at Spearfish. Dr. Cook ' s labor to hudd up a normal school where teachers are trained to a high degree of efficiency, has greatly benefited educational conditions of the western pari of South Dakota and elsew here. Because of the great work thai Dr. Cook lias done for educat ion, the State University at Vermillion has conferred upon him the degree of Doctor oi Laws. We, the Senior ( ' lass of 1916, extend to Dr. Cook our heartfelt gratitude, in response to his endeavor to make our si years at the Normal years oi value and happiness, w huh we w ill never forget .

As when the snow your bosom covers And the rocks loom big and bare, — So the south wind lightly hovers, And the flowers blossom there. At first, when on a golden morning Their faces to your people turn. The sun a sparkling diadem crowns you, And hopes and fancies in them burn. Dreams of things that the humble know not Crowd baser thoughts out of the mind. The tasks of tin- day are born with lightness. And clouds of life seem ' silver lined. And in the silence of the evening Their happy faces oft you see. As the moon peeps o ' er your mighty shoulder To whisper a last goodnight lot thee. Second Year.

Yellow l{c TO W1H  M IT MAY CONCERN: This is to certify that the present Senior Class of the Spearfish State Normal School will he graduated on June 7. 1916, and will then receive the highest diploma of the school, and a lif ' a provisional life cer- tificate to teach. This teachers 1 certificate is accredited in many states, as California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona. In South Dakota It iii- titles one to leach In all grades and in all kinds of schools. This Normal School, like all first class schools, steadily and con- tinually improves. It is better this year than ever before in its history. It almost necessarily follows from this that the ( ' lass of 1916 is the best in the history of the school. It should be the best one, and it is the les- timonv of the faculty that it is the best one. An unusually largV pet- cent of the class love their chosen work and believe it to he the greatest work in the world. They have fine ability, high character, untiring devotion, unfailing common sense, and highly pleasing personalities. Not one of the members has taught less than an hour daily for a year and a half under careful supervision in the Training School. This is more, much more, than the equivalent of three years of full time teaching without such supervision. All boards of education should so consider it . and should be anxious to give the best members of t he class, those whose success the faculty can guarantee, any positions at their command. There is not a city in South Dakota hut could make sub- stantial improvement in its faculty by taking such a course. The ideal plan when teachers are to be sought is for the hoard of education to send its superintendent of schools to I he Spearfish Normal School to observe the work of Seniors and have personal interviews with them, for the purpose of aiding in determining w hich ones would make valuable ad- ditions to their facult ies. I n view of l In foregoing facts I strongly recommend I he ( ' las of l!i I li for any positions they may seek. They arc modest, and after all the years of arduous training and severe criticism to which they have been subjected in I heir long course oi at least siv years above the eighth grade, the have a ins! conception of (heir own worth.

She was the only child and cherished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Little, of Hill City. Her early school work was done in the Hill City schools; the eighth grade however, was completed in the Normal Training School. After two years in (he Grand Island, Nebraska, schools, she joined the present Junior class as a third year student in 1913. Always buoyant and hopeful she thoroughly enjoyed, and look a willing and helpful part in class and school ad ivit ies. Her journey through this world, measured by years, was not overly long, yet in a way it seemed complete. Measured by Brown- ing ' s philosophy, it was complete, for ' Tis not what man docs, 1 11 1 1 what man would do that stamps us what we are. Rose Marie wanted to do much, and in dormitory circles and school life she was a real influence. She was a charming friend to every- one, an honored member of the Lambda Alpha Lamhda Sorority, a singer with a sweet voice, a valued contributor to the Anemone. a devote f all that was beautiful and artistic. She was modest, quiet and unassuming — attributes that have in them more of heaven than of earth. Kose Marie will Long be remembered by her own generation at the Spearfish Normal. F@Tffl2 i£lB Yd©!? CE@g Ernesl Bunnej Karl Schultz 1 [elen Hoover ' Olxi ' s i President Secretary Treasurer f K bright Homer ' s morning in the year of 1916, We, I he Fourl h Year Class, decided 1  take a trip to the Mills of Hoover, South Dakota. So the boys put on their tramping suits and Schultz shoes ami the girls, frocks with Dots-on, We were all Xichol-las so w e found it necessary to go overland. VVc hitched our Brown horse to tin- Shay and calling Collie, we started on our way. We were all in high spirits, so to give vml to some of our feel in gs we gave tin good old Normal yell. One boy was of a more quiet disposition than the rest of us, so Clubby said, Sam-u-(y)pl by yourself to see how that sounds. The roads from town to the fool of the Whitewood hill were very good, because some of the good-hearted citizens of Lawrence County had been diligently working on them during the past year. Winn we came to this hill, Peters-son said that it won hi In impossible for us to reach the top because there were so many of us lor ' one horse to pull. But the rest of us fell capable of al- most anything, and insisted upon t rying, so in this case, as in most, the majority railed and the poor old horse started. The first to show siiins of uneasiness was Thelma, and the feeling seemed to he contagious, because before long, much l the boys 1 disgust, some girl would scream at the slightest movement of the Shay, while the Meeker ones would shake and shiver in fear. Hut the weight on the cart was I  ey niuliir.in ce 1 , and suddenly the wheel of the lower- side came oil , ami over we went. Above the 1 1 1 1 1 m 1 1 1 ol the voices we con Id hear I )a n-iel , Is anyone liurl? We thought there wasn ' t, hut when the crowd cleared away Ade- laide there. She soon recovered, however, as it was only wi- mse of the shock I hat she had fainted. We then ( lee id I ' d it was useless I o try to con 1 i rr ue our journey as our cart was completely wrecked, so we started to walk hack to town, I n spite of the mishap, our spirits were as high as ever, and we determined to enjoy ourselves anyway, although one Mail ol th« crowd had a severe AiU. Cory, being a lover of nature, called our attention to a IJyrd singing in a tree. As we Repass(ed) Avery ' s Milk Ranch, we saw some children playing with a pel Bunney with Harry ears. In a short time w« were hack to town and as we passed down the street, ;i man stopped us and toltl us that there was a package for the Fourth Year ( lass at the Adams ' Express Office, so one of the boys went in and cot it, and upon opening it we found it to be a box of candy presented to us by the Fifth Years with all good wishes for the coming Junior ( ' lass. Though our trip had proven somewhat of a failure we had en- joyed t u rselves and were none the worse for it.

Like many worthy undertakings, hegan in a small way. In the winter of 1912 an eight weeks ' agricultural course was organized. This course was planned to accommodate the youn men on tin farms who could not possibly leave their farm work long enough to complete one of the long courses at the school. This course proved so popular I lie first year that the following year it was extended to ten weeks with an addition of several new agriculture and home economics subjects. Home Economics was introduced, at i 1 1 i-. time, in the course to accommodate the young women who wished to specialize along I he lines ot cooking and sewing. In 191o the course was again remodeled and an additional eight weeks was added to the ten, so as to make the work pursued in t he short course equal, i I not stronger than the same work taken up in the regular normal courses. This industrial short course, as it is now called, ex- tends over a period of t luce years, each term consisting of eigh teen w eeks. We welcome these new students to our Normal School. They have come to us from six counties in our own state ami four come from ad- joining states. They will soon leave our school and return to their homes to put into actual practice a few of tin- many things that thej have learned in the class rooms this past winter. We, as a school, have been enriched h their short stay and we hope that they will carry away ideas and ideals that in their daily work on the I a riu and in the fa ran homes wi 1 1 be of benefit to 1 he m . II Tlie UpeasfiLgla State j o aiaall nplIK Spearfish State Normal School, .1 professional school for teachers, has a splendidly equipped training school in order thai the students who arc preparing t.. teach may have an opportunity l come in con- tact with children, to act actual teaching experience, to | u( into prac- tice the theories of pedagogy, and to sec lessons being taught in accor- dance with the most approved methods of instruction. In no profes- sion is there greater need for thorough and scientific training, greater need for efficiency, than in the teaching profession. Recognizing the great value and need for efficient teachers. Dr. Cook lias put forth every effort to make this department of the Normal School the best of its kind to be found in any state. A normal school derives its popularity from the efficiency of its graduates and the graduates of the Spearfish State Normal School are bidding with credit some of the best positions in almost every state. The Training School is composed of eight grades with half year divisions. It is divided into four departments: the primary, first in- termediate, second intermediate, and grammar grades. The children arc taught by junior and senior teachers whose work is carefully super- vised by the critic teachers. At the present time there are about one hundred seventy-five pupils and about seventy practice teachers in the Training School. No teacher has more than twelve or fifteen pupils nor- teaches more than two subjects. This affords the pupils of the Training School splendid advantages for progress and much individual instruction. Very little experimenting with doubtful pedagogical th ics is allowed in the Training School. This eliminates a great waste in the educa- tion of the child, makes the work practical, ami impresses (be student teacher- with the vast importance of the pupil ' s time ami energy, and the necessity for having him profitably employed. Before a student is permitted to teach in the Training School she must have had a four year high school course and a year of normal training including special methods, psychology, and general methods. In con- nection with the various special met bods and educational psychology the students have a series of observation lessons. These lessons are always given by the critic teacher of tire department, except when they are planned for a study of purely psychological conditions. In that case they are sometimes conducted by the practice teacher-. The discipline is almost entirely taken care of by I he practice teacher, lire aim being to make the children as nearly self-governing as possible. The recesses are carefully supervised by the practice teachers who are prepared to teach the right use of play ground apparatus and to join in the games. Great emphasis is placed upon tin educative value of play of the right sort in and the right place. The Training School Faculty consists of ;i superintendent, four critic teachers, and an eighth tirade teacher. The critic teachers arc experienced in the art of training student teachers for professional work, while at the same time carefully providing the Ix ' st educational advantages for the pupils. The child is the first consideration and everything that will develop him intellectually, improve his morals, and tend to build up a strong and healthful physique is the constant study of the teachers. In addition to the regular faculty there are supervisors or teachers of drawing, music, home economics, manual training, physical culture, and Spanish. Opportunity is also afforded the children for class instruction on the violin. The school physician visits the school almost daily, keeps the teachers informed in regard to contagious diseases, and suggests ways For the improvement of the healt h of t he children. The Training School Faculty greatly appreciate the hearty co-opera- tion of the patrons. The progressive spirit of the children is greatly enhanced by this real interest on the part of parents and teachers. The attendance and hahits of the children are excellent. The Training School enrollment is limited to a certain number, therefore it was not possible to accommodate all who applied for addmission the past year. A cordial invitation is extended to parents and persons interested in the training of teachers and children to visit the school frequently. The Training School Faculty hope for a continuance of the splendid co-operation which has helped to keep up the high standard of the school . A Cmnaiiy ol Ifrawi (With Apologies t.

O, ye men ;m l women, youths and maidens and little children! Listen, all ye people of the Normal, t the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophet, who speaketh unto you what hath been revealed unto her, even as it hath been decreed by the powers that be. For it has come to pass that the veil of the future has been rent in twain, even as it was so rent in the days of the wise prophets of old, and the spirit of prophecy hath descended from the spheres to envelope my soul with her mystic power. Aye, I say unto you. men and women, youths and maidens, and little children of Spearfish, it hath been given unto us as the chosen of this great and good people, the ( ' lass of 1916, to dream strange dreams, and to see strange visions of the glories of the years yet to lie. For as I looked into the land of the future, 1 could discern among the dim shadows of the people, yet to he, the familiar shapes of those fair and radiant beings who were once my classmates, now changed and transformed into citi- zens of the world outside, even as they had long hoped so to be. It came to pass that the veil before mine eyes grew yet more and more thin thru the intensity of my vision, and behold I could see them, even as if the intervening years were not at all. I could see our beloved President; yea, even as today, I could see her in all her dignity and majestic bearing and her words were heeded by that day and generation, even as we today of the class of 1!)1( have heeded and attended unto them; for Margaret ' s ambition has led her ever upward and onward until she is even the governor of this, her very own and native state. And I looked again, and as I looked I could see among the musical circles of that far off distant time, and among those who were most fair to look upon, among those bright and dazzling to the sight and to the mind, six whom even as I gazed 1 recognized as those rival singers of the famous Sextette in old 1916, Florence In gal Is. Esther Brazell, Helen Grant, Margaret Nicholas, Lucile Garlock and Kstelline Fockler. And it came to pass that I also looked into professional circles and in a large office, among many men of many minds sat a most prosperous lawyer a boy who in our Normal days had not yet learned to lie. Nay, not even on the- right side would Richard say the word that could be untruly interpreted. Thus are the mighty brought to lower plains. Yea, as I gazed into other offices in the professional circles, a mist seemed to raise and behold, before my eyes was Rupert, standing before a dentist ' s chair pouring a liquid from a bottle labeled Tbe Oliver Chemical Company. Verily, I said to myself the hoys have lived up to the reputation of the class. And I also happened to find myself inside a large cathedral where a stately priestess in her robes of dignity poured forth words of inspired instruction. Verily, it was Mina herself, who had thus entered into the work of the church. Anil il came to pass, while- I pondered these things in my heart, the doors of several homes swung open before my vision, and I found therein households made happy by wives and mothers who had found t heir greatest ambit ion in the highest of all worldly vocations tbe makers and keepers of the home-. Verily was my soul rejoiced thereat as I gazed my last at Gretchen, Mildred. Giralda, and Doris, and so followed my spirit of prophecy further on its epiest of Things I., lie. And i( came to pass, even as 1 watched the home lights die away, that sweet strains of music held my soul entranced by the beauty and perfection of their harmonies, and as I looked about io know whence they came, behold. I did find. even as the queens of the world ' s music, the same ones w ho had sec often played for us in the clear old Mall, Riibv and Nellie. Leading me on, Ilu ' good spiril next brought me into the beautiful city of Washington, our Capitol, where, before my eyes, even as In the Normal, stood my two classmates, Florence Vaughn and Alda, standing as t hey stood In bygone days, before the large and beautiful book-cases counting and arranging Un- hooks of our Nation ' s Library, lint , ah! what hook were they pondering over so carefully? It is a late edition of the educational scries written by Ida, one of our old classmates. Verily the good spirit led me on as if for a purpose, beckoning and nodding, lest I should wander astray wit It former tho ' ts. Yea, as we walked thru the large halls my eyes were opened to the senate chamber where Helen Blair sal thumping at the typewriter even as she had done in her days with us. And heboid, a change came over the spirit of my dream and I fell within my heart a strange burning desire to see all the rest of my old chums, till the spirit of prophecy responding to my unspoken wish conducted me to a quaint little mountain house in a valley of California, where Bessie Virka, the owner, now a rich banker ' s wife, had invited several of her old classmates to spend t he sn in mer. Seated beside the fireplace -Cella told about her part in the Senior play and how it was the start of her theatrical career. Wava related her first experience at teaching in the Ganton schools, and the pure mountain air was filled with sweetness when Lavanchie played the accompaniment for Mabel and Alice to sing. Yea, I was content to join the party and watch and wait for my turn to speak and tell my experiences since those days, hut the good spirit led me on. Truly my mind was wandering, a haze fell over my eyes anil darkness was about me. hut the voice of the prophet whispered in my ear, Look ye, and great changes were before me for I found myself in a school, a beautiful marble structure in the city of Detroit. Before my eyes, mark ye, was Romelia con- ducting an institute, with her able assistants Sara and Sophia. And it came to pass that I found myself on a ranch, behold before my eyes were vast fields of grain, beautiful herds of cattle and large comfortable build- ings, and I said to the good spirit, • Who possesses such a place ' . ' anil t he quick answer came, Why, ' t is none other than Meat rice, your old classmate that lives here. Verily from the foreign field came replies to my tho ' ts also for the good spirit of the prophet had led me to China where Helen Wagner had entered the mis- sionary field and across the sea, a lit t le way. Lillian had a large class of Filipinos, working conscientiously, teaching them civilized ways. And as my eyes turned, my tho ' t changed, and behold I was hack in America, anil before me stood the great city of New York and verily my mind was directed by (he good prophet to the kindergarten where Rose sat among a group of small children cutting and pasting hits of paper. Anil it came to pass as t he spirit of the prophet led me on, I remembered that of all my class of 1! 1( only two remained who I hail not seen, hut hardly had my tho ' ts drifted to these remembrances when I entered the old Normal School. ' tea, here in the Dormitory sat Maude, faithfully granting requests to the girls as they came in and in t he Training School Esther Beck man. as superintendent, ruled su preme. And verily I beheld the scene and marveled thereat, thinking. Aye, even so shall it st raight w ay come to pass with each and all of us, Lo, t he strains of music died away, the veil was drawn over mine eyes shutting out from my vision the Things to He and I turned mine eves hack to the Things that Are, sure that as. Coming events cast their shadows before, only goodness and truth ami pros- perity shall follow all t he i lavs t hat are to come to the fair and talented members of the Class of L916. -I in M a § 1-1 3) N 5 - x z e - u 7.- f r.

It was prepared and given under the direction of Miss French, who has again placed her Iriends under ohl igat ions tor a rare musical treat. The quartet comprises Miss Francelia French, Soprano Miss Ronnie Mellinger, Mezzo-Soprano Mr. T. A. Mutt Tenor Mr. .1. C. Lindberg, Bass Miss Pearl Matthews. Pianist.-. These musicians are well known to Spearfish and Normal music-lovers who are genuinely pleased with their offerings and especially with this gem drawn from I he literary lore and harmony of the Orient. President Gook insisted on Miss French ' s repeat- ing the program at Ghapel Wednesday, March 22, and another decided hit was scored with the students. Mesdames Lindberg and [lutton were delightful hostesses for the evening entertainment. Til 2 UO ' JlSST mlDTJ ' T 1 1 10 Faculty of the Conservatory have been very busy this year caring for the unusual increase in the number of pupils taking private lessons. The enrollment in the classes of the various teachers lias increased by nearly fifty per cent. Naturally, this has left little time or energy for the organization and presentation of public programs, but nevertheless they have not been lacking. .lust before the Christmas holidays the Choral Society occupied a chapel period with an informal concert devoted to Christmas Carols. They were ably assisted by Miss Ruby Hamilton and Miss Blanche Lambert pianistes; Miss Hose Marie Little and Miss Bonnie Mcllingcr, sopranos; Miss Hattie Mills, and Mr. Samuel E. Aikman, violinists. In the early part of May, the Choral Society presented the cantata Fair Ellen, by Max Bruch. At the same concert was given a group of bridal choruses assisted by Miss French, soprano, and Mr. Lindberg, baritone, as soloists. The accompaniment of the cantata was played by the orchestra which presented one number of the program, aside from its work as accompanist. The Orchestra was asked to play for the Commercial Club banquet early in the fall, earning well merited approval for then- work. In fact, the satisfaction given on this occasion led to an invitation to play for the banquet on April 10th given by the Commercial Club of Spearfish to t he assembled Secretaries of Un- commercial Clubs of the Black Hills. In the latter part of May the Orchestra appeared in concert and presented for the principal numbers, Schubert ' s Unfinished Symphony, and the last number of the Haydn Farewell. They wen- assisted at this concert by Miss French and Miss Mcllingcr as soloists. Among the activities of the Orchestra must be mentioned the accompani- ments to the Choral works and the Operas given by the Women ' s Chorus and the Opera Club, as well as the function it performs as ••filler at the various plays and the contests throughout the year. The Band, following the successful season last summer, has been taking a well-earned rest this winter-, but is now getting ready for the commencement week programs and the June Races. It is quite probable that no concerts will be given, other than the regular Saturday evening concerts in the stand, before the close of school. The band was engaged for the Butte County Fair at Bellefourche, September 2, . ' ?, and 1. and upon the completion of its work, there entered upon its engagement at Spearfish. for the Lawrence County Fair, September 6, 7, and 8. The fine quality of the playing was remarked both at home anil at Bellefourche and some additional engagements were offered, which could no! be accepted because of conflicting with school duties. The Women ' s Chorus has been winking diligently all winter and presented its forces in a eon cert during the last of April. There were the usual concerted numbers and the last pari of the program was devoted to the operetta, The Persian Princess. This operet- ta will be repeated at Commencement for the benefit of those who may have been unable to hear it the first time. The year has been distinguished in a musical way by tin- large number of concerts and recitals by outside talent, but no less by the unusual quality of these recitals. In October tin Riheldaffer- Shiltinsky Company appeared as the first number of the Lecture ( ' oursc. They very generously gave us an added treat in the in- formal recital at chapel the morning after their scheduled appear- ance. It will be a long time before the school will forget t lie talent and artistry of t his company. March 23rd, Claude Cot t hell , assisted by Professor ( all ill, gave us the first piano recital ever given in Spearfish by other than local talent. Owing to the hast ' with which the recital was arranged and i  the inclemency of the weather, Mr. Gotthelf was greeted by a very small audience, hut one that was thoroly appreciative of the high standard which t his artist has set for himself and attained. Mr. Gotthelf s recital was managed locally by Mr. Cahill. We have been indebted from time to time to several of the talented members of out - community for some very fine Chapel programs they have given us. Notable among these have been Liza Leh ma mi ' s In a Persian Garden, presented by the Mixed Quartet, Miss French, Miss Mellinger, Mr. Hut ton and Mr. Lind- berg, and the reading of the story of Puccini ' s Madame Butter- fly, by Mrs. Bettleheim. Mrs. Bettleheim was assisted by MLss French as soloist and Miss Matthews as accompanist, in the Aria from Madame Butterfly, One Fine Day. Their work was up to their usual high standard. It goes without saying that these informal musicals are enjoyed very much. The only fault is that thev occur so rarely. Wu Wo 5.

The purpose of the Association is to unite the women of the Institution in loyally to Jesus Christ, t lead them to accept him as their personal Saviour, l build them up in the knowledge of Christ, especially through Bible Study and Christian Service, that their character and conduct may be consonant with their belief. Il shall thus associate them i 1 1 1 the students of the world for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It shall further seek to enlist their devotion to the Christian Church and the religious work tl the Institution. This year was the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of the Y. W. C. A. From February first to March third was set aside as Jubilee month. During this time we had a series of Jubilee meetings telling of the founding of the Association, its growth, and work. Last Fall Miss Inez Beebe, a Student Secretary, visited us for a few days, and on February twenty-second Miss Josephine Lynch, Student Secretary of the North Central Field Committee, visited us. Through these Secretaries the girls were brought to a realiza- tion of the world wide influence of the Association. Just before the Christmas holidays we had a Japanese sale. The returns of this sale together with the sum which the Camp Fire Girls made from their play were used to buy an indoor setting for the Normal Auditorium. Ten dollars was sent to aid in the support of our missionary, Miss Kulh Paxson, in China. Y have planned to send at least two girls to the Estcs Park Conference, which is held at Estes Park, Colorado, in August. The officers elected for the coming year are: President, Frances Repass; Vice President, Kulh Jewell: Secretary, Elizabeth Wolff; Treasurer, Thelma Thomas.

II infos on D™ |EE1 ' , heavy loom, like a black cloud, huii on the horizon of the l!H. foot- ball season, when in September the coaches summoned their warriors l report on the Normal gridiron. ! ' our superb I ' M 1 backfield, none remained. Dickey, Collinge, Wood and Reddick were no longer in our ranks, and in Ili« ' line Stearns, Hanson Gillespie .iihI Hedlun left vacancies few could fill. Bui the Normal spirit was like a live coal burning in each position. True, Strouse and Smith were left in the line, and great things were expected f Captain Waller Dickey, in the backfield. Hut raw material is usually very un- certain. The first few nights of practice, however, contradicted this fact, lor raw material seemed certain. Hardly had signals been introduced when Gillespie re- lumed lo fill li is posit ion at center, and pep was overflowing in all of tin- recruits. Each practice brought a new man to the gridiron and at I he end of the third week the coaches had thirty-five good men out of which to pick a team to go to Lead. ( ti October second, the team with fifty loyal rooters, motored to Lead City, where I he High School team of that place was beaten by a score of forty-three to nothing. The game was a continuous fight, no spectacular plays being administered. The successful executi I forward passes by Courtney, the ex peri i ' nee of St rouse and the speed of Kj dander won the game for the Normal. The Rapid Gity High School game al Rapid City was a hard fought game, resulting in a score of twenty-four to nothing in the Normals ' favor. Credit must he given to the Norma] line in this game as the Rapid line was heavier. seven pounds to the man. Smith and Strouse held their positions in the line with credit. Gillespie al nter was successful iii blocking punts and Edgerton, Morley, Matthews, and Dickey did more than justice in their positions in the hack field. Had all the games id ' the season been like the first two the Normal would only have had practice games this year, hut fortunately a game was scheduled witli Dakota Wesleyan, a team slightly out of the- Normal class, hut only in size and self-estimation. The weather for the Wesleyan game was anything hut ideal. A steady rain had fallen for twenty-four hours previous to the game and the gridiron was soft and slushy. The Normals had depended upon their speed and strategy, while the big Methodist team relied upon weight and line bucks. During the first quarter an even game was played. The ball see-sawed up and down tin- field and both teams met great losses because of fumbles in I be mud. However, during (he remaining three quarters the Wesleyans sine led in piling up twenty-four points only on account of I heir size a n l ability lo plunge a much lighter line. Dickey al quarter, tho ' crippled, played an excellent game and made a safety equaled by no one in (he history of the Normal. Uuiincv at end made himself famous as a tackier, while Repass proved bis ability as a guard. Allho ' be bucked an all stale man. Gillespie played with the Mitchell Center as tho ' he was a mere high scl I amateur. The backfield made re- markable gains considering the odds against them. Altho ' Mitchell bail a remarkably good team . the game wit 1 1 the Normal would have shown a different score bad the weather been advantageous. Collinge the old Normal man. was the tower of strength in the visiting team. (tci the Saturday following the big Mitchell game. Lead High scheduled a game with the Normal, with the consideration that they be allowed to pla I heir coach, Mr. New com b. The game t li ruin it was clean and fast . all the spectators remarking on its true sportsmanlike playing. Altho ' out classed some, the Lead team played a bard game and tried hard lo hold back the S] civ Normal men. Coach Newcomb played an excellent game, but without Sheld and Sharp the Lead team would have I n greatly lacking. McNish, the Normal ' s speedy little sub-quarter, made a very spectacular touchdown and the work of the backs and ends was exceptionally good. The game resulted in a score of forty-one to nothing in the Normals ' favor. Lead i« i ii i-t -tl that night, de- feated, hut tin ' dance given for them helped to ease defeat. Probably the game with the Rapid City Indians was the most evenly matched game played during the season. On the Indians ' eleven were men, who had played five, ;ui l even six years, those very swift and with much fight in them. Black Fox and La point are noted men in the Black Hills. However, speed, ex- perience, and fight of the Indians were not enough to defeat the Xormalitcs as the game resulted in a score of ten to nothing against the Indians. During the game Dickey had to be replaced by McNish, because of injuries he sustained during the Lead game. McNish at quarter, is rioted for head work. Once during his stay he plunged between the center ' s legs for a touchdown, and he never failed to gain from five to twenty-five yards when he called himself for a run. Xo individual credit can be given in this game. Every man had a hard, well drilled Indian to buck, and every man held that Indian as well as possible. The Indian game was only a drill for what t he Normal hail yet to play. They tried to get games with the School of Mines, but found the Millers without a team; tried with Chadron, but no acceptance was sent so the big Thanksgiving game at Aberdeen was all they had to look forward to. On Tuesday, November 23rd, fifteen men with Coach Hager started oil the best trip ever taken, to play the Northern Normal and Industrial School. After spending all of Wednesday morning in Huron t hey then went to Aberdeen. Upon arriving bills were noticed scattered all over town advertising the triple event to be held on Thanksgiving day, the Normal School of that place vs.Spearfish Normal, Aberdeen High versus Huron High, and the Annual Granger cross country run. Thursday afternoon at two o ' clock the referee ' s whistle blew for the two Normals to start action. The ball was kicked off to Spearfish and the first play of the Western team netted them a touchdown by Edgerton. Hardly had the game been played ten minutes when Spearfish scored six more points. The rest of the half was a stiff fight on hot h sides. At the end of t he half the si-ore stood fourteen to nothing in the Spearfish Normal ' s favor. However, thru misunder- stand in g, bo Hi Dickey and McNish, the two Spearfish quarter-backs, were barred from tin- rest of the game. This naturally gave the Northern Normal a decided advantage and in till- hist half, succeeded in pilling up twenty points. Alt ho ' the game ended in a score of twenty to fourteen, giving Aberdeen t hi ' Normal Championship, Spearfish can claim the better team and the loss of the State Championship only thru a misinterpretation of rules and advantage being taken of this by the winners. This game ended tin- football season for the Normal. But could a school have a winning team without tin- aid of a second team ' . ' No, nor was the Normal in such a position. They had a second team and a third team, and teams worthy of tin- name of first team. This year, with McNish as leader, the Normal had a second team which can claim the Championship of Black Hills High Schools. This championship can be supported by the fact that, on October ninth, the second team heal Sturgis High, who previous to the game, had beaten Rapid City, the team who won every other game they play- ed. Tho ' inexperienced, the team with McNish at its head played one of tin- best games of the season. Together with Northcy, Black well, ami Shay In the backfield, he ran the eleven like a veteran. On the line Oliver, Knight, Shyne, Ilawn, and Repass played as tho ' their very lives depended upon this game. The score was seventeen to nothing for the Seconds. Not enough credit can be given to tin- loyal men in the school who played on I he second team. Harder knocks were never given and more pep was never shown, than these men gave this year. Their reward will he a position on the first team in 1916. Tho ' beaten t w ice by larger schools, t hi ' Spearfish Normal had a winning team in lill.V The men were gentlemen, and boosters. The team was a credit to the school. Wit 1 1 every man back in 1916 except ( iillespie,who goes to college,! he team should he the best, fastest ami most victorious team ever had by the Normal.

SBaglsdti M®M DECAUSE of the loss of five of the 1911-15 players, the 1915-16 basket-ball season was mir of great disappointment. How- ever, it was only due to excellent management and hard coaching that a team of any kind was organized this season in the N ' ormal. From the start of tin- basket-ball season pep was lacking; thi ' spirit that football had developed in tin ' school was gone; thus, tin ' basket hall team had Ureal « dd (n work against. Added t these disadvantages tin ' boys were seriously handicapped l the lack of a gymnasium t practice in. Consequently a great re- action over the 191 1-1 ) season. The opening game, with Bellefourche High was played on the home floor and resulted in an easy victory for the Normal. This Came was followed by tin ' Lead High game in which the Normal met its first defeat for many years by a High School, hot it was the lack of experience on tin- Normal side and the team work of the head five that gave head the victors. Following these games, were those with Rapid High, South Dakota School of Mines and llulctt Town team, in which the Normal played excellent games but because of their inexperience, and condition, lost three out of fixe games played. However, with Strouse at center, Walton, Wertenberger ami Repass forwards. Morley, Schultz, Bunney and Mossing at guards, being lower class men. the Spear fish Normal should have a w inning team in L916-17. j iiS2 Bs CINCE the early history of the Normal, baseball has been one of the strongest factions of athletics. Not only did t !« ■ - play other towns, hnt the inter - class g§ames and the annual faculty-school g§ame helped to make the sport one in which nil the school might t;ikr part. Tin season of 1915 was greatly handicapped because of the hick of teams in the Hills. Only high schools had teams ready to play I he Normal and these only made practice games for our las I team. Two games with head, resulting in a victory hoth times, only made clearer that the Normal out-classed the High Schools. As a battery Morley and Foley could not he equalled, as each had had several years ' experience in Normal Baseball. Walton at first, Stearns at second, Bunney at third and McNish at short made a fast, heady infield, while Hiver, W ' angh, Reddick and Strouse played with credit the outfield. Could we have gotten games of Normal class, S. X. S. would surely have made records lnring the 1915 season. I5nt not only were these games id ' importance during 1915, The inter-class games aroused more spirit and enthusiasm than did the school games. The games with the lower class men re- sulted in the Junior-Senior teams favor who in turn challenged the faculty winning that game. While as yet no games have been played during 1916 a fast team has been chosen and their steady work anil excellent coach- ing can not help hut make a winning team. The management has already scheduled games to he played hoth at home and away. HpHREE years ago the prospects lor tennis wen- very doubtful. The tennis courts were not in order, the backstop being torn down and lb« ' only siens of a tennis court were here and there a post left standing to which at one time there had been wire fastened. ll was at (hut time that the Spearfish Normal Tennis Associa- tion was organized. Tin 1 first year only a few joined and il took .ill the money to fix up the courts. The following year many more joined the associat ion and tennis became well known among the athletics of the school. That same year two tennis matches were played with the Bellefourche High School, one here and one at Bellefourche. A year ago we bud similar matches with the Belh ' fourche High School. This year there are twice us many members of the association us there bus been any previous year. ' Ibis aoes to prove that tennis is becoming more popular among the students. At the present lime there are three tennis courts in l; I con- dition, one clay court and two dirt courts. The courts were rolled with the large steam roller and are now In very good condition. Prospects are favorable for the addition of two clay courts to be put in during the summer. When you consider tennis as a game il is very different from ny other kind of athletics. It is very different from football, baseball, and truck, but when you consider the exercise derived from it, it seems to be u combination of them nil. Tennis is not such a sensational game us baseball or football. There is of course sport in watching a tennis match, but tin- most sport and benefit is in the actual playing. It trains every muscle with accuracy and to act quickly us well. Tenuis is one of (be most scientific games we have. Many men have become famous thro tgh the achievements in tennis us Ty Cohh bus in baseball. s X a — 3 — — — _ — — w a i ■- _ _z — _z — - ■=■ u - U - ? r C C __£ . - X .- X , c - — 1 — — — - _L. — g • 5 — — — j w 1 ■_ X V T - - 1 , EC S -.- s X i.

And thus the Wenona Cook Hall 1ms grown, from a build- ing that accommodated fifty siirls to one large enough for one hundred fifty. Along with this have come many better {ind finer things. The gymnasium Ikis been made larger {ind is becoming equipped with th« ' proper apparatus, there {ire now plenty of practice rooms for ijirls musically inclined, pressing rooms for the use of {ill, and a very well supplied infirmary. And such good times for all! f course, the matrons always insist on study five nights out of the week, but even then there is plenty of time left for fun. What girl, who has ever been a member of Ibis big dormitory family, can forget the delightful Saturday evening dancing parties where everyone goes dressed in her very best an l the music is provided by the school orchestra? Better even than these to some {ire those parties which the girls themselves have planned and to which the entire family has been invited.

' V ' hz CJothicjy nplll ' ] cottage is a two-story frumi ' building located back of the Normal buildings adjoining (he athletic field. It is the home of the fourteen young men w ho do the detail work in lln- buildings, unci Mr. II. II. Gardner, w li by request of the boys consented ti room here and act as Dean. Previous l tliis year the Cottage w as not to be considered a home, liii t merely a place for tin- boys to sleep. 1 1 was a I one time the Dormitory for the girls, but after tin- erection ! ' tin- present Wenona Cook Hall, was given to tin- boys. Gradually, without any direct supervision, 1 1 1 « - boys thoughtlessly mutilated 1 1 1  • building until last year it w as so badly demolished that enough rooms lor tlir twelve working boys were scarcely available. How- ever, during the summer of 1! 1. . thru the efforts of Dr. (look ami the Board of Regents, the building was thoroughly remodeled, including the installation of a private heating system, ami the addition of a storm vestibule. ' This afforded a comfortable home for t he you ng men. One of the several social events of the year took place on Satur- day evening, November i. when the fourteen Cottage boys ami their dean, Mr. Gardner, entertained about fourteen lady friends, with Dr. Cook and Mrs. Plummer as chaperones. Mrs. James Waters ami Miss Kerne Gardner were out of town guests. The evening was spent in playing progressive Somerset, watch- ing the antics of Gass ' s dancing Santa Claus, and listening to the humorous melodies by tin- Cottage Orchestra. The most skillful at the game. Miss Florence Vaughn ami Mr. Harrison Morley, were awarded large Spearfish pennants. At 10:30 a four-course luncheon was served, having been prepared by Dick Hawn, who proved himself an excellent cook. At the close of the evening, flash-light pictures were taken l the assemblage. One of the most novel ami new ideas was shown in the tally cards, they bear- ing a picture of the Cottage Boys. Tin ' boys of the Cottage wish to express their appreciation to Dr. Cook, the Regents, ami others, instrumental in the remodeling of t heir present home. O 1 1 1 Kin THE STROCSE EARI. I.K l ' i Mis a J lia ©d©lasaat@3?j 5©s tesi The eighth annual Black Hills declamatory contest was lipid in the Normal Assembly Hall, Friday, April 7, 1916. The unani- mous opinion seems to ! • that it was the best contest of the scries. The selections spoken were all good and the delivery was of a high order. A large audience gathered to hear the contest, and though tin 1 program was long a keen interest was manifested to the very lasl number. The schools represented were — Lead, Deadwood, Belle Fourche, Rapid City, Custer and Spearfish. In the oratorical section, Spearfish was represented by Marl LeFors. His oration, The Martyrdom of .loan of Arc, from I )e Quincey, was splendidly given and received the coveted first place. Miss Kdythe Strouse in the dramatic section, presented, The First Appearance, by Davis. She showed strong dramatic ability and gave a good account of herself, Imt was not successful in capturing a prize. First and second places were given to Dead- wood and Lead respectively, and Deadwood also won second in the oratorical sect ion . A £t±V it) iiVi Wo M ' s ' sw j: VIONG tin- trips I have taken that help i i confirm my knowledge is the very instructive one I took this past summer when I visited the Worlds ' Panama Pacific Exposition ;it San Francisco, anil our western states. Our journey reaching there has many interesting features. If you should take the trip by way of Denver you feel a western friendliness in this the largest of our western prairie cities. A good way to get your hearings here is to visit Daniels anil Fisher ' s Tower. From the lop of this tower, which is thirteen or fourteen stories high, you get a good panoramic view of t lie surrounding count ry. From here you are able to see The State Capitol Building, the United States Mint, ami other large buildings. The side trips around Devner are attractive, one to Pike ' s l ' eak. Mt. Lowe, and Mt. Lookout. In taking tin- Mt. Lookout trip we took a sight seeing trolley car through the city, then we went out into t hi ' country about fifteen miles over a beautiful farming area. We were met at Golden by a sight seeing auto truck, which took us over the city and out to the grounds of the State School of Mines. We then began our auto climb to the summit of Mt. Lookout. This mountain has an elevation of 7,045 feet. The road has a gradation varying from 3 to VI per rent and was put up by 1 he Government at a cost of ST. (MM) per mile. It takes expert and careful driving to manage a car over such a winding and dangerous road. There is a continuous line of cars going and coming over this driveway, and you hold your breath many limes as you round the sharp curves. At several places you can look down anil see five different views of the road over which you came, one apparently above the other anil there is a line of cars on each part of the road. Leaving Denver, our next big stop was at Pueblo where are located the big lead mines, doing from Pueblo on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad you pass through the much talked of Royal Gorge. The scenery and the colorings here are gorgeous. We went through t he Gorge just as t he sun was setting, and as its last rays fell upon the bright colorings of the high precipices, it made an exquisite picture. The country in parts of western Colorado and eastern Utah is quite dry and arid looking, but as we ncared Salt Lake City we passed thru a prosperous looking farming district. We stayed a week in the great Mormon Capital. One of the most interest- ing things here is the Temple grounds. They are centrally located and all the streets of the city are numbered from here. All inquiries as to directions and locations are answered by referring to these grounds. The great pipe organ in the Mormon Tabernacle is beyond description. It was built and planned as were all the buildings in the grounds) by Hrigham Young. Every day at twelve o ' clock a free recital is given on t his organ. Its (ones are the richest and deepest I have ever heard, exceeding by far the organs of St. bonis, Omaha, St. Paul, Chicago and San Diego. The main buildings in the Grounds arc the Temple, the Tabernacle, ami the Assembly hall; of these the Temple is far the most beautiful building. It is made of gray granite which was cut and hauled about ten miles to I he si te of the building. It look forty years to const ruct t his build- ing at a cost of twelve million dollars. N le but the high officials of the eh u r h are allowed admittance. .Ins ' to the left of I he Temple is the Tabernacle, a large dome-shaped structure. This is a very large building ami so const rue ted t hat t he drop of a pin can be heard in the fart best corner of the as I auditorium. ' This auditory test is given evcrj day to a large audience of tourists. Saltair is I heir a m use men l resort. It is a large pavilion built out over Great Salt bake. Til two most noted Features here are the largest dance hall in the world and the salt baths. Here thousands of people may be seen floating around in the water which is 2? per eent salt. We spent two days at Oarfield, I tali, where the largest copper mines in the world are located. Part of the mining here is done quite differently from the way we think (if mining. Mere large quantities of ore are taken from the out- side of the mountain, where immense steam shovels scoop up the ore and load it into ore ears, where it then goes thin the milling and smelting processes. Leaving Salt Lake City on the Western Pacific we passed over the (ireat Salt Desert, where for miles we saw nothing hut a great sea of salt ninety-eight per cent (Hire The sun shining on it is almost as dazzling to the eyes as the sun shining on the snow. Mere is the world ' s inexhaustible salt supply. From tin Great Sal t Desert, we climbed the Rockies over a very winding 1 u i gradual slope, and from the summit of the mountains we plunged down into the Feather River canon. In many respects it resembles our own Spcarfish ( anon on a mneli lartjer scale. Next we found ourselves speeding over a wheat and farming belt, which looked dry and desolate for we passed thru al a time when the crops had been harvested. The day we traversed this pari of the country, it was extremely hot and at Sacramento it was reported their hot test day. We continued to roast until we struck the ocean breeze at Oakland then we chilled. At Oakland we left the train and were ferried across the bay 1 o San Francisco. Alter locating ourselves at a hotel we rested for a fresh start next morning to the Fair Grounds. There we found never ceasing wonders. The general plan ot the grounds and exhibit buildings were wonderfully worked out. Music lovers had an opportunity to hear the best musical numbers given by hands of world wide reputation such as the Russian Hand of Phillip Plez, the Bostonian Maud a nd others, which gave open air concerts in various courts every night. The great artist Paderewski gave a recital in Festival Hall. His music held the people so spell-hound you con Id have heard a pin drop in that vast audience of perhaps severa l thousand people. The fireworks were the greatest I have ever seen. On special days they sent off thousands of dollars worth. These were made doubly effective by the use of strong colored search lights which were thrown on the sky rockets and ol her fireworks while in mid air. They manipulated these lights so as to give rain how ami aurora borealis effects. Their fireworks were thrown from a frame work built out in the water of the hay. and I his added to t heir effect i veil ess. On Cadillac Day and Harvard Day the fireworks were especially good. The exhibits in the large exhibit buildings were all of high order. As I recall the World ' s Fair at St. Louis, a decade ago, these two great Fairs were in some respect very different. The former one was in general more of a display of the antiques and relics of a ties gone by , while our late fair left out tin- old ami dealt with the new and latest improvements in all things. For instance, take the Modes of Travel show n in the Transportation Buildings at St. Louis: there was a display of every possible mode of travel from the beasts of burden, thru the development of crude wagons and buggies, then showing our first steam engine i ii its simplicity, then other models showing each improvement one by one till at last you came to a display of the latest models in st cam engines, pull mans, diners and chair cars. At our late Fair much ground space was given for show- ing the different makes of automobiles; accompanying each make was a dem- onstrator who I oh I the good qualities and latest Improvements of the car. Here you saw nothing of the old hut everything new in the way of travel. We ma include hen- the exhibits of t he latest models of street cars, also the state rooms, kitchens, dining rooms and parlors of our modern passenger vessels. Among tin- slate buildings and foreign pavilions Canada put up the most unique. In the Pennsylvania Building I viewed the Liberty Hell for the second time in m life. We sometimes associate the Amusement Zone with fake shows and consider il simply a place to spend money, but in the zone we found some very good things The reproduction of the Panama Canal in miniature (covering five acres of ground) was one of the most instructive, giving a perfect idea of the actual workings of the Canal. A revolving row of chairs encircled the complete area of five acres. We took a place in one of these chairs and took down a small tele- phone which hung there. We looked down upon an exact reproduction of the oceans, the cities, the forests the lakes, the railroads and the rivers. Toy trains ran oxer the railroads and ships started on the Pacific side and went thru the ( ' anal to the Atlantic side, showing just how the locks of the ( ' anal worked to allow the ships passageway. All the while you were slowly moving around and a voice was explaining to you in detail all that was before you. Tin- places were all marked with figures so it was easy to follow the descriptions. The telephones which was afterwards explained to us. were connected to a phonograph, so ar- ranged that they changed automatically so we always heard what was in front of us, regardless of the fact that our neighbors a few chairs away were hearing different things. Some of the places we visited outside of the Fair Grounds were the National Educational Association meetings at Oakland ; t he University at Berkeley, and their noted open air Greek Amphitheater: Cliff Mouse; Golden date Park; The Presidio; and Chinatown. Golden Gate Park is San Francisco ' s largest Park, covering about one thousand acres, and at the west end is (he ( lift house, a public- resort on a rocky cliff overhanging the- ocean. A short distance out in the water are some large rocks which are frequented at all times of the year by hundreds of sea lions. My first view of the Pacific Ocean was seen from Cliff 1 louse. The government military reservation or presidio covers about fifteen hundred acres and is practically another city park, for it has a beautiful drive which fol- lows the shore and gives a view of the Golden date and Ocean. Here we got a very good idea of the way in which our government has fortified the coast. Large guns are placed at intervals overlooking the Hay. Outlining the drives the- flower beds and the- yards are large cannon halls set in the ground so that a hemisphere of each shows; this makes a unique decoration and yet in time of danger they can be quickly picked up and used. The battleships South Dakota and Minnesota were lying at anchor in the- Hay and we did not miss the- op- portunity of visiting them. Here I learned many new things as our guide took us thru every part of the- ships, from the furnace- rooms to the upper decks explaining all about it. Our night trip through Chinatown gave- us much new information concern- ing the Chinese and their modes of business and ways of living. Chinatown covers twelve city blocks. This part of San Francisco was completely destroyed by the disaster of 1906, but in 191(1 it was rebuilt. The signs cm (he bazaars and stores show strange- characters and picturesque colorings. These stores are run by the Chinese, and their wares vary from shoddy trin- kets to the- most expensive- silks, portieres, screens, vases and dishes. We were taken by a guide through narrow streets and passage-ways through tumble- down buildings, up and down rickety steps until at last we were shown into the home of a poor widow. She had four children who were receiving an education and (hey conversed and sang in English for us. This home- was no more- than a hovel, but it gave us a clear concept ion of how I he poor Chinese women arc- oblig- ed to live. From San Francisco we went to Fresno, then to Los Angeles, to San Diego, clown into Old Mexico, then back to Los Angeles, where we made an extended visit. We found the San Die-go fair much smaller and it was restful after com- ing from the- San Francisco Fair. The San Die-go Fair grounds we-rc- carried out in Spanish de-sign, (he- Main Street was called the praelo. One- night while in this city we were awakened by a terrible jar, and yet hesitated upon calling it an earthquake. The next morning the first sound that met our ears was tin cry of tin newsboys, Extra! Read all about the Earthquake! ' 1 Fortunately hut little damage was done our section of tin city. Our stay in San Diego was short and then we returned to Los Angeles. Southern California to me is an idea] place to live, the luxuriant vegetation and ili mild, sunny climate are its attractive features. And then in this day of t h movies it is all the more interesting, for it is rightly called tin- Home of tin Movies. In this vicinity are located most of our play cities. Universal City is tin best known one, hut a visit to any one of them gives a good idea of t heir work. There are many large orange proves in this section of the country and I watched with interest the irrigating and fumigating of the trees. The fumigat- ing must be done at night at a certain temperature. They use a solution of sulphuric acid ami cyanide, and great can t ion and care must attend its usage. Each tree, In he treated is covered with a large canvas large enough to touch the ground on all sides keeping out the air) then tin 1 tree is sprayed under the canvas and is left an hour. As many as fifty or a hundred trees are treated at the same time, and it takes a little skill to throw t In se canvases from one row of trees to the next row . This is called a throw ' 1 and the men work very rapidly so as to make as many throws as possible while the temperature is favorable. This part of California is noted for its grapes and wineries. In one vineyard t here are four thousand acres of grape vines. They bring the grapes from the fields with trains, also mule teams with wagon boxes piled high with grapes which go to the wineries. Here the grapes are put into the press; the juice is then run into immense vats which resemble the cyanide tanks we see in our cyanide mills. I have given brief mention of only a few ol the many interesting things we saw on our trip. Our journey home was through Arizona and New Mexico. My closing word to my readers is to see ,ts much of the world as opportunity affords; it i-. worth while.

Before you is the Open Road. You have caught a vision of the Land of Promise. You want to do things; to live intensely and fully: to serve your community, state and country. The opportunities that lie before you are such as no generation of young people have faced before. The world was never in greater need of thinking men and women. Your country is calling for a more splendid Americanism. Your state wants young men and women of sound ideas and great ideals. Look well then to your equipment for life! Are you starting out unprepared? In the fields of law. medicine, engineering, education, religion, journalism and business the demands are more insistent than ever before that man shall be thoroughly trained and efficient. An education is no longer the privilege of the few. It is the right of the many. It is for you if you but will it. At your own doors your state has erected a univer- sity and equipped it for your advantages and benefit. The sciences, the arts, the humanities, law, medicine, engineering, business practice and journalism are taught by inspiring teachers and with modern facili- ties. If you want the biggest and fullest and most useful life, you will secure a thorough education. Before you decide where you will get your training learn of your own state university. □ The University of South Dakota VERMILLION, SOUTH DAKOTA D. 0.
