This com- mission chose Bowling Green as the location of the school for northwestern Ohio. On June 30, 1911, the Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor, organized and on February 16, 1912, elected the President of the College, the appointment being required at this time since by act of the legislature he is clothed with advisory power in determining building plans. A general building scheme was adopted, and with the initial appropriation of S150,000 the Board pro- ceeded with the construction of the central feature of the plant-the Adminis- tration Building. In 1913, the General Assembly appropriated 341,000 for enlarging the auditorium and gymnasium in the Administration Building, and 3218.000 for the erection of a Dormitory for Women, Science Building, and Heating Plant. Other available funds were added to the appropriation for the Heating Plant, making the total cost of this building and equipment S48,1.75. In 1915, S100,000 was appropriated for a Training School Building, and in 1917, 524,000 was appropriated for the improvement of the grounds, 310,500 for water and gas plants, and 35,750 for farm buildings. Williams Ha1l,.the dormitory for women, was opened at the beginning of the Summer Term, in June, 1915, and the Administration Building in September of the same year. The Heating Plant was put into service in the autumn of 1915. Early in the spring of 1916, the Science Building was far enough .advanced toward completion to permit of the use of some parts of it. The entire building was thrown open for use during the Summer Term of 1916. The contract for the construction of the Training School Building was let in July, 1916, but owing to delays which the contractor has experienced in getting materials the building is not yet completed. A comprehensive scheme for the improvement and beautification of the grounds was developed by a capable land- scape architect in the autumn of 1917 and work was begun in March, 1918, on Court.Street and the part of the campus surrounding the present buildings. In planning these improvements great care has been exercised to preserve the natural beauty of the site and to improve its attractiveness and usefulness by artistic treatment. On September 15, 1914, the College opened in temporary quarters with a faculty of fifteen members including four critic teachers. and an enrollment of 158 students. Extension classes for teachers in service have been a feature of the work of the school from the beginning, and a Summer Session is an integral part of the academic year. Annual appropriations are made by the General Assemblyufor the support and maintenance of the College. Although the school has been in operation less than four years, fully one-third of the teachers of northwestern Ohio have been enrolled in its regular or extension classes. .fm - 7 Ah g El TO THE CLASSES OF l9I8 HE message the College has for you is just the message that your country, that life itself, has for you. It is the message of devotion, of sacrifice, of loyalty, of patriotism. During these glorious days we are being born again. In this new birth our souls are cleansed of all the dross of materialism and we realize that life itself is great and kingly in the measure in which it is a life of love and sacrifice for the welfare of humanity. We begin to see that industry exists for the sake of society, churches for the community, homes for manhood and womanhood, governments for the governed, and schools for citizenship. 'Tis the teacher's task to build up day by day through well-considered and dispassionate knowledge such ideals of home and country that sacrifices, even the sacrifice of life itself, will be made gladly for those ideals in war and in peace. Let us sweeten life with high ideals and noble thoughts. Let us courage- ously point out the domestic problems that confront us that they may be solved by the light of the truth. Let us open the eyes of the youth to the world oppor- tunities that await America. Let us train the youth to meet those oppor- tunities. Let us inspire them with such love for humanity that every page of American history shall be bright with deeds of justice for all mankind. Let every school house be an altar to our country, every teacher a source of inspiration. Let no son or daughter of Bowling Green fail in this. For to fail in this is to fail utterly. The schools, even more than armies and navies, the teachers, even more than soldiers, are the hope of democracy. Zff TI-IE. UPPER ROOM T is written in The Book that Christ sent Peter and John ahead into the city to discover a place where He might eat the Passover with the disciples. The Savior instructed them to enquire of a certain man, And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And Christ and the Twelve here partook of the Last Supper. No scene in history is more humble in setting, and none is more memor- able. It has been portrayed by various artists, but its wonder and beauty lie on the further side of all language. This upper room was the meeting place of the Master and His disciples in that long ago: it is today the symbol of communion between man and God. In the life of every individual is felt the need of a quiet place, hidden from the world of bustle and distraction, where man may commune with the Infinite and be fed by the bread of life. This upper room is a place of refuge and a real necessity. Here the tumult of the world dies into silence, and the thoughts of man are turned upon the realities of his being. It is here that he gets the vision which enables him to observe the sorrows and the seeming deserts of the daily life without losing faith in the infinite love. Those whom we see surrendering in the battle are those who have never dined in the upper room at that invisible table of which the bread enables man to conquer. In the silent hour, we may partake of this bread, as those of old time were sent manna from heaven. And he that eateth of this bread shall live forever. Who, more than the college student, needs this communion of the upper room? In the rush and stress of constant preparation and recitation, there comes the crying need of such a help, a retreat where one may think, a room apart into which one may enter, as the wearied pass from the hot and noisy street into the cool silence of a welcoming cathedral. This is the great error many students commit when they arrange their courses: they forget to plan for the quiet hour, when they can put the daily tasks into right relations with one another and with the inner life. Have you felt yourself hurried and driven? The coming of new tasks was perhaps so incessant that you were unable to make your own that which was offered. One of the greatest needs of students is to obtain a perspective, to see what the many and varied phases of the school day mean as a part of life. And forsthis is needed the upper room, the quiet period of solitude, when the in- dividual may face self, and commune with soul, which is communion with the Divine. It is not enough to know life's offerings with the mind-one must realize with the soul. We have need of both society and solitude. The two are complementary, as are summer and winter, day and night, exercise and rest. Society makes us members of the collective life of mankind: solitude gives vigor and richness to the individual life. The life of the hermit, and the life of the man who thinks with the herd, are alike imperfect lives. The complete life is that of the mag- nificent man-of-war: it can share in the life and discipline of the fleet, or it can sail the seas alone. 9 The Upper Room-Continued Every great work of the world has first existed in the mind of its maker. and its plan was patiently wrought in solitary study. As was said by Bacon, a pioneer in scientific thought and investigation, so might it be said by all the creators of the world: My spirit hath been much alone. It is in the silence that the student comes to know himself, to realize his limitations and his abilities: in the quiet hour, he comes into agreement with the Power about him and into intelligent relations with his world. One's duty is to one's fellows, but much of the truth comes when alone. The prophets of the world have beheld the vision when in the desert or upon the lonely summit of a hill. On Nebo's lonely mountain. Moses heard the words by which the peoples since that time have reached their highest levelsg in a solitary place apart, our Saviour fought the tempterg in solitude He drank the final cup of suffering before He went up the steep way to Calvary. What is the purpose of a college life? The students who can answer that question are those who have found it for themselves. The purpose and reward are not to be had from text-books. Many find knowledge of a kind, but miss the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge-the recognition of self as a part of the race. Those who have succeeded are they who, in the self-communion of the upper room, have established lines of communication between their lives and the world about them. Too often students in college mistakenly give too much time to school, and too little to the business of living. The upper room has no place, and so the accumulating weight of the days' tasks weighs heavy upon them. The history of the race is the record of the human spirit striving upward for light, struggling to understand itself and its environment. The leaders in thought and action in every age have been the men and women who have had vision, that vision which is the fruit of self-communion. It is written of St. Catherine of Siena that she made a little interior oratory within her own soul. Is not this interior oratory the fountain of our strength? It is this power which aids us in meeting the routine of daily tasks, the routine which is at once a weight and a blessing of life. The student who thus plays the game of life is brought to that adjustment to his environment and to his powers and limitations which is the end of educa- tion. To possess this adjustment is to command oneself in the crises of one's life. It is this adjustment of the individual to self and to the world which brings repose, one of the objects for which humanity is ever seeking. In strife, we hope for peace: in sorrow and anxiety, we look for the better day: in winter, we look forward to the fiowers of spring: in college, we yearn for the time when We shall have time to live. Repose is the great lesson which nature teaches. The poets of every race have sung of the quiet healing and inner strength which earth gives to her children. On every height, wrote Goethe, there lies re- pose. The shaded woods and lonely mountain peaks give freedom and the satisfaction of a spiritual need. Men and women never feel so much inclined to worship God as when alone in the cool and silent Woods. The groves were God's first temples. How impressive is the growth of a mighty tree! Its strength will with- stand the storms of ages, but its growth is calm and soundless. The field takes unto itself the seed. and holds it to its bosom. Then begins that marvel- ous alchemy which sends up a new and larger life. This, too, is the calm of nature. Who is so poor that he has not lived through the hush and quiet of a summer Sunday morning in the country? A sweet peace lies upon the people and their fields, healing the past week's wounds. The earth appears a vast I0 The Upper Room-Continued cathedral prepared for the worship of her creatures. This is the calmness manifested by men and women who have come into possession of adjustment and repose. When college students have this grasp of their world, they can find happiness in their daily work, for they see its purpose as a part of life. Such an individual has discovered himself as an individuality and as a com- ponent part of his college and of his world. He has formed the immeasurably valuable habit of thought. He has created for himself an upper room. where the fires of faith are never allowed to die. He has been a successful student, for he has entered into the heaven which lies all about us, not only in our infancy, but throughout our lives. ' I We are students from birth until death. The individual continuously searches for knowledge of himself, his world, and God. This knowledge and faith in God is the repose for which the human spirit yearns. It is freedom from doubt and the fever of self-consciousness. It is the unconsciousness of childhood. which Froebel has called rest in God. The player who represents his school plays before the crowd, but he has previously communed with his forces in the privacy of his room. Our young men in basketball played the game cleanly and with courageg their thoughts in solitude had given them mental discipline. The student who has examined himself in the silent hour will face the duties of his life with a clearer vision and a happy faith in the source of his help. Never in our history were clarity of vision and a steadfast faith needed as today. Our beloved nation is passing through her most trying hour. Ameri- cans have never felt such need of reflection and self-examination. We find ourselves in aworld at strife. Every man and woman of self-respect is pon- dering the great realities of life. Students of every school beneath the flag have today the grandest assignment of their lives-a lesson given by their nation and by their God. Real life lies within you: your activities are only the manifestation of your actual self. The service you bear in this hour springs from that inner patriot- ism 'to which you come by conscientious thought. What makes a life signifi- cant? What but love, faith, hope, duty, devotion, sacrifice? The seeking of the race has been for ideals-principles. We are the heirs of Jew, Christian, Greek, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, all of whom have given to the stream of civiliza- tion things which speak unto the spirit. And in our hour of trial we fight that these invisible and intangible things may not be taken from us. These are the things which cannot be expressed, for our souls are greater than our vocabu- laries. You walk forth on a summer morning when the dew is on the grass: you walk in the moonlight with one whose life is dearer to you than your own: you stand with head uncovered when the flag is passing by-all these lie beyond the pale of any language. And today in Europe, each of these joys has been trampled beneath the iron heel of might! Men in this war have written beautiful and thrilling poetry, but their death is a more lasting chapter. The greatest literature in the world has been written by the deaths of men: the greatest chapter, and the most sublime, was written by the meek and lowly Nazarene on the wind-swept cross on Calvary. You.. also, may pen your chapter. Every true citizen of America today is losing his life in devoted service. When the brighter day shall dawn. we Shall find that life again in a new and better America. No one has now a higher duty or. a greater opportunity for noble service than the American teacher. Her daily work among the boys and girls will lead them to a realization of the high. Il ' The Upper Room-Continued duties-duty to oneself, duty to one's country, duty to one's God. The three are interdependent and inseparable. Now, it is, or should be, the purpose of our school system to help youth in the realization of these highest duties, to aid them in their growth in the greatest of all arts-the art of living. To this art minister all the works of man. Music, literature, painting, sculpture, architecture, invention, building- all these are only phases of the supreme art. Since the race began to emerge from darkness, the human spirit has striven to realize and to record the truth and beauty of the world, and to bring nature under subjection. To a few men in any age has been given the power to see, to record, and to conquer. These we name the masters of the race. And these are the real historians of mankind. We know that the true record of humanity lies in its works of art and industry and thought: in the Bible, in Homer, in Greek and Roman art and laws, in Dante, in Magna Charta, in Shakespeare, in the Declaration of Independence, in the telephone system of a great city, in a hotel of a thousand rooms, in a Pennsyl- vania railway, in a mighty printing-press, in the voice which reaches from conti- nent to continent with no carrier except the air. These are the gifts of the race. To know them, and to discover himself in his heritage, is the student's duty to himself. The teacher is the guide. To realize his duty to his nation, the student must feel that he is an individual of the nation. He must see the principles for which America stands and for which she tights today. Our struggle from the beginning has been to pass from slavery to freedom: the Revolution, the work of Lincoln, the law and justice of our courts. the control of wrongful business practices, pure food laws, the betterment of laboring conditions, prison reform, our public school system-all these are endeavors to better the condi- tion of men and women-to make them happier. The third realization comes to the student as he reflects that no nation or individual has ever been truly great, except through obedience to Divine law. You, as teachers, can have no higher purpose than to help your boys and girls to realize that the master artists of the world are those who most fully live. Try not so much for the methods and trade-marks of education-we have been at that too long-but strive rather to help the individual to see the realities of life and his vital relation to them. The greatest discovery in modern education is that the child is an individual, with peculiar needs. The service of the teacher is to aid this individual to find himself. Students of our college, you are to be congratulated upon having selected a school whose President has given evidence by his daily life before you of self- communion in the upper room. His upstanding patriotism and his unashamed reliance upon that Power which is greater than man, have been an inspiration to us all. As you go out into the world of thought and action, may you not forget your College. She is your Alma Mater. From the childhood of the race, men have believed that they drank new strength by returning to that from which they sprang. Antaeus felt his power renewed each time he touched the earth: the child turns to its mother for the healing of its hurts and sorrows: men and women turn to God, from Whom cometh their help. So may you often return in kindly thought to your Nourish- ing Mother!

He shows justice to all, partiality toward none, but he has one very bad habit and that is the writing of some of his lectures on the blackboard in perfectly illegible straight lines-assum- ing either that the students know as much about the subject as he does, or that they are naturally bright. GEORGE WILSON BEATTIE, A. B., B. S., A. Agriculture Star Boarder is his nickname, but what's in a name anyhow, when there's so much real fun behind it all? Both loved and feared by the Freshmen, he takes keen delight in kidding them, but lucky indeed is the Freshman who can kid back. JAMES ROBERT OVERMAN, A. B., A. M..

MARY TURNER CHAPIN, Home Economics Our Good Samaritan is perhaps one of the quietest women on the Faculty, but still waters run deep. She is always on hand when meals are to be served or banquets given. or questions to be answered, but she isn't to be blamed for being eflicient. GRACE M. POORBAUGH.

Her preference for D's is her only grievous fault, but the mortality rate in her quizzes is not abnormal. WILLIAM PEARCE HOLT, A. B.

FREDERICK G. BEYERMANN, B. Pd. Physical Education and Hygiene The Captain is one of our most popular Profs. and is every student's friend. He is famous as the appreciator of a good joke.

ELCIN MUNSON CLARA HOUVIE - OW can we serve our Alma Mater? The guests at the B. G. N. C. banquet, held at the Woman's Building in Toledo at the time of the convention of the Northwestern Ohio Teachers' Association in 1916, showed their willing- ness to serve by forming an organization to cultivate a spirit of devotion to their Alma Mater. The organization was later named The Toledo Association of Bowling Green Alumnae. Officers were elected to transact the necessary business for the following year. With the help of one of the members of the Faculty, a constitution was framed in which it was decided to limit member- ship to graduates resident or teaching in Toledo. It is the aim of the oiiicers to arrange several social functions during the year, so that members may renew old friendships and make new ones. Let each one of us make use of every opportunity to serve our Alma Mater.

To this society' are elected during their second year, those students who, in the opinion of its members, have profited most fully by the instruction offered at their Alma Mater, and who have contributed most generously to her traditions. Although eligibility is based on scholarship, election is conditioned by social attainment. The object of Book and Motor is the fostering of college spirit and the recognition of merit in scholastic and social endeavor. Its emblem is a gold key consisting of the college monogram surmounted by an open book and a motor.

JNL E IE U AN is only half himself, the other half is his expression. This favorite quotation from Ralph Waldo Emerson has furnished the motive for organizing this society and naming it after the grand old philosopher who realized that man is not complete without the other half, -either culti- vated or acquired. The programs arranged for the semi-monthly meetings of the Emerson Society provide ample opportunity for the cultivation of expression in literature and art, while the personnel of the society gives still better oppor- tunity for cultivating and acquiring one's other half and thus it doubles his chances for expression.

ECOGNIZING the need of a complement to the regular text-book work in the College, the Wilsonian Literary Society was organized in 1914. lt takes its name from the President of the United States. who is not only a great statesman and man of letters, but one whose sound principles and high ideals have become a powerful influence in world movements. At the semi-monthly meetings literature of the first rank and writers of high degree receive their due praise and criticism from the members of this society, the aim of which is to provide practice in parliamentary procedure, to increase the power of oral expression, to acquire habits of logical thinking, to develop those social graces which make for culture, and to uplift the profession of teaching.

Fifty-five of these have joined since the day of organization, February 25, 1918. Every member of the Faculty is a loyal Red Cross supporter and worker. The Sun Parlor in Williams Hall is doing duty as Red Cross work-room until a larger room in one of the College buildings can be fitted up. This organi- zation has responded enthusiastically to all demands made by the mother organ- ization and we hope that in more spacious quarters we can do a still larger work for Uncle Sam.

LESTER STOUGH Airienllure and Science Stough is one of those earnest, hard-working men who possesses those qualities of char- acter which make for success in the business world. He is always glad to do his bit and is especially happy to be the President of the class which first went over the top in the posses- sion of War Savings Stamps. JESSIE M. MERCER Enilieh and History One of those reliable persons always to be depended upon to deliver the goods. She is Secretary of the class, and has always contributed her share to the traditions of the College. She is a member of Book and Motor and has had one year of teaching experience already. F. DALE TREECE Mnthemetlos and Seienee Treece is one of the sharks in the Institution. His ability has been demonstrated both in the classroom and in athletics. He is always on the job. Member of Book and Motor, the Monogram, Treasurer of the Emerson Society, and Captain of the Basketball Team are only a few of his achievements. MINNIE FLANIGAN Enililh and Seienee The Junior Vice-President belongs to the industrious and conscientious species of woman which is never satisfied until it has done its best.

September 21 The annual Get-Acquainted Party. A very informal gathering of the students, for the purpose of renewing old, and forming new acquaintances. Williams Hall Reception, October 20 The girls of Williams Hall gave an informal reception for the faculty. A short program was given in the earlier part of the evening. Following this, the advisees gave unique yells for their Faculty Advisers. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Light refresh- ments were served. IIallowe'en Masquerade, November 2 Two days late but spirits and goblins were in evidence just the same. Some strange dis- coveries were made that night-some people are actually afraid of ghosts. It was also learned that some members of the male contingent make better looking women than repre- sentatives of their own sex. They were a trirle too reticent to represent twentieth century women, but that is easily understood-they were giving their conception of what a woman should be and not what she is. Everyone had the jolliest kind of time and our only regret is that the occasion comes but once a year. 1 Co-ed Prom, November 17 We'1l wager old B. G. N. C. never saw a finer or more courteous bunch of men than she saw that night. Among the numbers on the cleverly arranged program, given in the audi- torium were: An address by our suffragette, Miss Helen Good, concerning the Conversa- tion of Food, three or four hair-breadth acts staged by Prof. Sambo Shuh-Bell and Son Punch, and the rendering of a few of the latest song hits by Miss Peg Ward and Mr. D. Gallagher. Between acts a wonderfully harmonious symphony orchestra, directed by Mr. L. Vann-Reigler, entertained with some touching airs. The program ended by taking a silver collection for the Red Cross, after which the company descended to the gymnasium for an hour of dancing. Junior-Senior Night, December 8 I The program for the evening was conducted in the form of a Diestrict-Schule enter- tainment and was comic, to say the least. Whether or not it was true to life we are unable to say. We wonder if Miss Bell will ever have to look the part as she did that night. Perhaps she will if she teaches thirty years, which she won't. ' A number of parties to have been given between December 8 and February 2 were not given because of enforced vacations on account of the coal shortage. 67 College Social Calendar-Continued Penny Fair, February 16 A patriotic enterprise, given to raise funds with which to send each B. G. N. C. man in service, a Beegee. On the list ofattractions were Madame Matzuki, a charming snake charmerg Mme. Azur Girges, celebrated fortune teller: a real auction sale at which you could ge-wha-u-wantg and dancing. From a financial standpoint the fair was ahuge success, and besides it afforded a great deal of fun. Washington's Birthday Party, February 21 An interesting and unusual feature of this party was the series of patriotic tableaux given by students and faculty to represent Priscilla and John Alden, Betsy Ross, Columbia and Dixie. We always suspected it, but now we know that Professor Hesser can get music from anything,-even a saw and a board. Later the Metropolitan Great Opera Company interpreted the significant story entitled Listen to My Tale of Woe in a very pathetic manner. After an hour of dancing the evening ended all too soon. Glee Club Mid-Winter Picnic, February 26 At five-thirty on this particular evening, thirty-five girls gathered at the Hessers' beau- tiful new home on North Main street for the sole purpose of having a good time. Everybody was happy and hungry enough to enjoy thoroughly the delicious eats which were disposed of in real picnic style. After the feast a flash-light picture was taken of the club toasting marshmallows before the open fire. Basketball Team Entertained at Williams Hall, March 13 A very successful basketball season was brought to a fitting close when the members of the team were entertained at dinner by the Student Government Board at Williams Hall on Wednesday evening, March 13. The college colors were used effectively at prettily appointed tables where covers were laid for one hundred and twenty-five. Those enjoying the hospitality of the girls were President Williams, Professor Beyer- mann, Messrs. Judson Sayre, Claitus Stough, Harold Todd, Neil Bowen, Dale Treece, Kenneth Halleck and Fred Noller. During the course of the dinner a novel program was enjoyed. Miss Dorothy Gallagher as toast-mistress received responses from President Williams, Coach Beyermann and Captain Dale Treece. , Mildred Saxby gave a toast To the Men. Eleanor Conlisk delighted all with a catchy vocal selection. Helena Book rendered several readings. The Treble Clef Club favored the guests with a charming southern melody. The program ended with the college song. Those acting as hostesses were the Misses Morgan, Gallagher, Good, Tressel, Meyer, Osgood, Hicklin, Saxby and Raymond. Bachelors' Party, March 15 The fellows could think of no better way to entertain than by staging a basketball game, which they did. The Sophomores, playing against the combined efforts of the Fresh- men, Juniors and Seniors, were defeated by two points. After the game the College Orches- tra played for dancing. 68 College Social Calendar-Continued Sophomore Soire, March 22 The Sophomores outdid everything of the season by giving a formal reception to the Faculty and student body and a few guests on Friday evening, March 22. The guests were received in the main corridor at eight o'clock, after which the proces- sion for the grand march, led by Miss Wanda Kunzman and President Williams, was formed and the company retired to the gymnasium. Here dance programs were given out and dancing was enjoyed until eleven-thirty. Book and Motor Banquet, March 23 The annual banquet of the Book and Motor Society was held in one of the suite of rooms occupied by the Home Economics department. The college colors were used effectively in the candle shades and nut baskets and also in the sandwiches and ice cream. The four-course dinner was strictly conservation, no wheat being used in the preparation of the menu. President Williams as toast-master, announced the following program: Welcome to the New Members, Miss McCain5 Response, Julia Burke: Socially Efli- cientf' Gladys Gangware. After the speeches, a Hash-light picture of the society was taken, following which danc- ing in the gymnasium closed a very pleasurable evening.

At the beginning of every year each of the eight precincts into which Williams Hall is divided elects one person, and the entire organization acts under the direction of the Matron, who is an honorary member. The purpose of the Board is to maintain social harmony and insure respect for the rights of others. It meets at regular intervals to de- liberate upon matters pertaining to the welfare of the students who live in the dormitory as one family.

It consists of six grades, at present housed in the Administra- tion and Science buildings, awaiting the completion of a modern Training School building now under construction. The pupils attending the school are children who, living in the vicinity of the Institution, are assigned to the Training School by the superintendent of schools just as other children are sent to the ward schools in other parts of the city. Its pupils, therefore, do not form a selected group, but one such as might be found in any elementary school. The training teachers in charge of the various grades are specially qualified to supervise the work of the student-teachers, and to give advice and construc- tive criticismQ A The school is not as fully equipped at present as it will be when it is per- manently housed in its own building. Yet all of the schoolroom furniture and other equipment is modern and hygienic, the seats and desks being adjustable. Each of the lower grades has a sand table, and there is a piano and a Victrola for the use of all the grades in common. Grade six is provided with a work- bench and tools. The boys especially, are interested in using these. The newest piece of equipment is a complete moving picture outfit, which, in the new build- .ing, will give the children real moving pictures once each week. On pleasant days in the spring, the children may be seen working in their garden. This is a small part of the College Farm which has been set aside for the Training School. Each child has his own plot, which he plants and cares for under the careful direction of the teacher. Every Tuesday morning the pupils have their assembly period when there are devotional exercises followed by a short program given by the children, each grade in turn preparing and presenting its program, which in each case is a natural outgrowth of the classroom work. 73 The Dramatization of Robin Hood in Grade Four Other Facilities for Student-Teaching It will be seen that excellent facilities are provided for preparing men and women for the profession of teaching. In addition to the Training School, the entire city school system of Bowling Green is now open for the training of student-teachers. This gives ample accommodation for a large number of college students to work under favorable conditions. It also makes it possible for the student to observe the working of an entire schoollsystem. The High School is used for the training of all college students who are taking the degree course. To meet the needs of those students who desire to teach in country schools, the college maintains three model rural schools: the Center Township School, near Bowling Greeng one at West Hope in Henry Countyg and another at Wapa- koneta in Auglaize County. Trained teachers are in charge of these schools, and the equipment and methods of teaching are most modern. 74 BOWUNC GREEN some To 0ur First And Hofwrcd Pnlldmt 108175.

G. N. C. team in the athletic field. The limited number of men in college made it im- possible to enter all fields during the present academic year, however, war beifig the reason, twenty-five of our men having responded to their country's cal. The fast basketball squad with its fine team work and marked endurance has put B. G. Normal on the map. It sent the opposing teams home losers, eleven times out of the total of fifteen games played. We are indeed glad to know these results which show the real athletic ability of our boys who have certainly pro- duced the real goods in this new-born activity in a new institution. The season opened with a victory over a picked city team. The city men, surprised at their opponents' fast team work, were compelled eventually to listen to the tune of 43 to 19. This year's squad, though it is composed of light weight players, is a fast proposition. The line-up for the first game was: B. cz. N. c. B.,,,1i,., Gm N0llel' ....... ......... R .

F. ....... ............. H ouser Bowen, Todd .......................... L. G. ...........,,..,................ Patterson Several other practice games were played with the same line-up, and each one was an easy victory for the B. G. N. C. The first college game scheduled was played at Bluffton during the week of our enforced vacation, at the time when coal was not to be found anywhere in this part of the state. Although our boys had not been together the week before the game, they did exceptionally good playing even on a strange floor, which was not nearly as well lighted as the home floor. The first half ended in a tie. Un- IOI A XVilsonian liuskvtlmll T1-am Cnnrl::ht 'Fuvker Fultz Good Lonthermnn H. llnuxlmhlvr N. Hounholder Klefvr Athletic Reviews'-Continued fortunately in the second half, Treece, our crack guard, had to leave the gym- nasium on account of a broken nose. This totally disorganized the team, and the inevitable result was a score of 12 to 24 in favor of Bluffton, the winning points being made near the end of the game. The B. G. Normals anxiously waited for the opportunity of meeting the Bluffton quintette here, for they were confident of a victory over their opponents. Noller said before the game. Faith is the Victory and it was, faith and fast workg the score 29 to 20. During a similar enforced vacation, the team went on a trip north, losing to Ypsilanti and Adrian. Ypsilanti had lost but one game during the season. meeting with defeat at Detroit, but she had beaten Ypsie in the return game. Every effort possible was made to get Ypsilanti to play us a return game, but in vain. During the same recess, the Normal five won an easy victory over the Findlay squad in the Findlay College gym. Adrian gave us a return game in which the confidence of her big fellows was shattered by the fast team work of our light-weights. The score at the end of the first half was 16 to 15 with N ormals in the lead. At the end of the second half the score was tied, and the two aggregations were given five minutes more to fight it out, but the teams were so evenly matched that a decision was not a question of time, and the score stood 31 to 31, rightly claimed by B. G. N. C. ?toi1gh, the big point getter in this game, caged tive field baskets and fifteen ou s. Previous to the Adrian game three games were won at the college gym within a week. The Adrian game and he three others were the only ones played on the home floor. The first announced the defeat of Bluffton: the second, of Toledo University and the third of Defiance College. The Bluffton game was some contest! Stough, although suffering from a severe cold, played a great game for B. G., throwing three field baskets and eleven fouls out of fourteen. Noller's fast passing was a big factor in our ultimate success. Sayre's long shots were remarkable in each of the three games won. Treece and Halleck also came in with several long shots: they were on the job every minute in guarding against their opponents. The last intercollegiate game on the home floor resulted in a one-sided victory over Findlay, 28 to 51. On the following night Toledo University won her first victory of the season when our fellows played her a return game. This wou1dn't happen again in a life-time. The fact of the matter is that only two of our men went to Toledo with the serious intention of playing hard. They did. Although B. G. N . C. far outclassed the Toledo University team the game was lost nevertheless. The closing game of the season was a red hot contest between the Sopho- mores and a combination of the other three classes. Naturally one would think that the Sophomores wouldn't even get to look at the basket or to touch the ball. but there were never two teams more evenly matched than these two. A tie at the end of the second half and five minutes more to play decided the game in favor of the mixed classes by but one goal. The score was 18 to 16. ' All of the home games were well attended by the faculty and student body: everyone pulling for the victory. The college orchestra is to be thanked for its loyal and inspiring support.

It was given on the athletic field. Students of the College and pupils of the Training School took part in the Pageant. They marched in a body from the gymnasium to the athletic field, vlrlhefi-ielghey took their places on either side of the throne erected at one end of t e e . At the close of the march, Miss J acie Sargeant sang, A May Morning as an accompaniment to Miss Pauline Ward, who, in a green costume to represent Spring, gave a solo dance. At the close, Spring, preceded by the Colonial and Grecian girls in costume, and the little fiower girls, met the queen and led her to the throne. The Grecian girls gave the dance, after which the Queen was seated on her throne and crowned by Spring. Then followed a group of folk dances of the various nations, given by the pupils of the Training School. The second part of the program consisted of a group of dances given by the College girls. They were costumed to represent different countries, each group giiaing a dance characteristic of the country which it was representing as o ows: V Tig: , 'Cl ' I iff- '15 X S Rx K' K ix R 'A fi I X' X ' lx- . 4' '1-Ai' gf:-lw.WP52 -7 . .

At the top of each was the flag of the country which it represented. The center one, representing Japan, was the rainbow pole. All the others had streamers of red, white and blue. The last number on the program was especially impressive and beautiful. The girls dressed in white. marched around the field several times, in a single line, to a stirring patriotic march, then facing the spectators, they gradually closed in about the throne, forming three large circles, one inside the other. The girls forming the outside circle were seated, those in the middle one, kneel- ing, and in the inner one, standing. Then the platform on which the queen was seated, was raised above the heads of those standing, thus forming a living ped- estal and held there while everyone sang America, a fitting conclusion to a successful play pageant.

OF A GUILTY CONSCIENCE CWith profound apololiol lo Loilh Halt! Abou Ben Adhem imay his tribe disappearll Awoke one night from a deep dream of fear. He saw, within a few feet of his bed, A SPIRIT, writing in a book of red. Exceeding terror made Ben Adhem bold, And to the awful spirit, desperate, he said, What writest thou? The spirit raised its head And with a nameless aspect far from fond It said, The names of those who have not bought a bond! Ashamed, Ben Adhem held his peace, nor scarcely dared To raise his eyes to that from which such anger flared. As Abou looked the angel seemed to grow And fill the room, and from its brows there seemed to flow Fell clouds of direful rage, than clouds of thunder blackerg The giant angel poised its pen, and shrieking SLACKER, Swift hurled it at the trembling wretch who lay Unnerved and fear struck, drawn his face and gray. And then Abou awoke. How happy he To find it all a dream. He hurries quick to see How many hundred millions of his hard-won cash He can devote to Wilhelm's everlasting smash. Next day our Uncle Samuel gave the list of those who wrought the best, And-Lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest! II3 - KY . . . - ' be 35 -1--rp sz ' A DYE ' ' a PLN . V iff -ai jj'5 y.

Students interested in music, and the various choirs and singers of Bowling Green and Wood County, joined in forming a nucleus for the great musical event of northwestern Ohio, which has now become an annual function. Since its organization, the chorus has grown in efficiency and numbers, singing each year a greater choral work with a larger group. At the present time the active membership numbers about two hundred voices. It is the aim of the or- ganization each year to study one or two of the great choral works of the masters, thus bringing together a wonderful singing body, with artists of national repu- tation assisting. The Festival covers a period of three days with a different performance given by a different .organization each time. The concerts are designated as Choral Night, when the Festival Chorus gives the program with assisting artists, C'hildren's Night, when the children's chorus from the public schools gives the program with assisting artists, Symphony Night, when one of the great symphony orchestras of America gives the program. This year the Minneapolis Symphony gave a matinee for the school children of Bowling Green, thus furnishing them an' opportunity of hearing one of the great orches- tras in the rendition of symphonic music. Among the choral works that the Festival Chorus have given are Haydn's Creation, Grieg's Olaf Trygvasonf' Gaul's The Holy City, Joan of Arc, selections from Verdi's Aida . This year the chorus sang Handel's greatest work, The Messiah . Among the organizations and artists who have assisted at the Festivals are, the New York Symphony Orchestra, Walter Damrosch, Director: The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Emil Oberhoifer, Directory Sopranos, Mmes.

It was received with great enthusiasm. A course of this kind affords opportunity for broadening one's horizon and acquainting one with some of the leading entertainers, artists and orators of the American platform. The numbers for 1917-1918 were especially good. The season's program was as follows: On October eighteenth the Oratorio Artists, Reed Miller, tenor: Myrtle Thornburg, soprano: Nevada Van der Veer, contraltog Frederick Wheeler, bassg Frank Braun, accompanist, gave a delightful program. This consisted of solos, duets, trios and quartets chosen from the repertoires of such famous composers as Straus, Verdi, Flotow, Mendelssohn, Gounod, Sullivan, Speaks and Mac- Dowell. February fourth marks the date of the appearance of the Zoellner String Quartet of Brussels, Belgium, in whom we were especially interested because of the close relations existing between their country and ours at the present time. Their tone-true and divinely expressive playing brought real enjoyment to the hearts of their listeners. The quartet included members of only one family circle, Antoinette Zoellner, violin: Amandus Zoellner, violing Joseph Zoellner, Senior, violag Joseph Zoellner, Junior, violoncello. The third number of the course was equally interesting, when on February 11th, the Ben Greet Players presented Shakespeare's comedy, The Merchant of Venice. The large attendance proved that the drama, the highest form of 123 .,i. -i-l - Entertainments- Continued poetry containing the most exquisite and elevating thought and philosophy. still endures. The simplicity of the stage setting emphasized the colors of the costumes which were most artistic, Launcelot appearing in the college colors. while most of the other characters wore complimentary colors, Jessica's cos- tume, for instance, being red and blue-green. All who heard Doctor Edward A. Steiner's inspiring address.

Tonight your sons, brothers and fathers are writing new history with their own blood, fighting, not for the love of it but for a great purpose. We must work together and live together closer.

TOPP, '18, ERHAPSLY you like to know what Domestic Silence are, perhapsly not. I shall narrate, so in future you will not approach up and ask other who is not so saturated with same. When I were younger than I are now I see wonderful articles in paper concerning how cook by Domestic Silence. I could not comprehend such in- telligence so pack trunk for Bowling Green Normal College where all freakish- ness of food is solve by those which have study much about bugs and bacteria. First lesson were how boil waterxwithout burning by use of glass-like gage with marks on it like ruler. I thrust glass in water and water boil just so well undisturbed as with invention stuck in pan. Test tube cookies was not so easy made as name indicate but I proceeded with directions and lastly I have them reposing in oven where they look very cutish. But they did not rise as by directions and I feel glum. Teacher in- quire about expression of sadness on face. I say baked goods do not bake ac- cording to book. She look at stove. Perhapsly you light fire they will bake more rapidly, this are not tireless cooker, she retort. I do so at oncely and cookies act much better than before. They were so delicious as to melt in mouth. Yet I do not see sense of making something which require no chewing. Jaws do not get exercise and one becomes indifferent to effort. Since, I have discover that it are not so much to become cook but to under- stand principles of such in order to boss servants in home correctly. Sewing are vast art also. Seams never stay same width and require fre- quent measuring to keep where should be. Patterns are puzzle for person of my senselessness but by much hard work I was able to make dress which Paris would have rave over had he seen it. But it were kept in glass cage for inspection and when I did take it out that dress were so abashed that I could not coax it to appear in public. . Many things I have learned about table manners for public exhibit. You should not clutch knife like dagger, and always sip soup gently so as not to dis- IZ7 Domestic Silence-Continued turb equilibrium of nervous guests.

I almost forgot to tell that scientific dish wash are include. which I lub to narrate, are dislike by most members of class who turn snob nose expres- sion, when it are mention to be necessary in course. Chemistry are subject for befuddling minds which are not already dumb. There are varieties in this: sometimes explosion of loud report, sometimes ex- amination of machine which you never use. That are same way with textiles. How can person tell linen from not and wool from part percent? I shall narrate. Listen: You buy pair blankets cost 31456, bring home, cut in pieces, put in pot and boil, if when you look in pot blankets are gone, it were wool, if it are present you have been cheat. So you wonder what it are all about? Why learn so many useless things concerning usefulness? I hear you inquire. Do not people eat? Yes. Do not people live in house? Yes? No. It are not matrimonial agency though man cannot live without cooks. It concern food and how keep germ dormant when l'e wish to awake. l Should we engage in this wonderful work? We should. We shall go forth to teach young generation how much calories should be fed to human being and how manage home and husband which divine joy shall not be ours.

It's like entering your favorite collie at a dog showg you have to write a whole life history. Some of the girls are so haughtyg I suppose they come from Dink Town, where their fathers own repair ships. The matron is the biggest surprise! She's not one bit like a traffic policeman. I am trying to recall what we ate for dinner. I can remember only one thing and that is ice cream. My roommate is a dream. She brought three men's pictures along, all framed, and I haven't even one. Sept. 25-The rush for breakfast reminds me of a fire saleg everyone rush- ing madly down to grab the bargain muffins, which are slightly water soaked and sogged. Iam going to study hard and not allow one single thing to inter- rupt me. We've the nicest English professor: he even has his nails manicured. The History professor is a genuine grouch. The second day we were in his class he broke off in the middle of a sentence and said, I'll not tolerate one word of whispering. I am chilly even now from the effects of the freeze, but I must confess that he is a wonderful teacher. The girls are crazy about the English- man, Mr. Reeves. I'm rather inclined myself. Oct. 2-The reception is tomorrow night. I do hope Mr. Reeves will dance with me. His manners are simply charming. I have my English lesson every day-wish we had English five times a weekg I'm happy for hours after that class. Marg is trying to induce me to use face cream and a little rouge. If I thought I'd scare horrid Mr. Page, our History instructor, I certainly should. He had the plain nerve to tell me I was slow to see a point. I really believe I could hate him if he only didn't know so much. Oct. 4-Mr. Reeves has the most beautiful blue eyes with great, long lashes. I could have danced foreverg he is positively wonderful. I shall use face cream and rouge for he likes well dressed people. If I can only get another smile from him I could easily teach school forever. Perhaps the next time he will ask me for two dances. The very proper Mr. Page only waltzes and he hopes to have another with me. Tee Hee! u I feel cranky this morning but I can never let Marg see it, so I shall smile. It's a good thing to have a roommateg it teaches one to mend her ways. IZ9 A Freshman's Diary-Continued Oct. 8-We have had a test today and Mr. Page paralyzed us. I just know I shall never like him. Mr. Reeves does not believe in testsg he's a joy in life. All I have heard for the past two weeks is lesson plans. They must be ter- rible from the amount of talking doneg ir I am ever a Sophomore I shall never mention them. Oct. 12-One of the girls had a crying spellg she had not heard from her suitor for a week. Not ten minutes ago a box of roses came to her special de- livery. What do some girls expect? I must remember how to act when I have one. The matron gave us a talk on etiquette. Oct. 18-The archaic ceramics professor rambled over and asked Marie if she would play and sing for him. Saturday is a lonesome day for us all. Nov. 1-The Hallowe'en party is over. Mr. Page asked me for another dance. He's not nearly so sympathetic and tender as Mr. Reeves. Mr. Page dances poorlyg I don't believe he enjoys it. The climax of the evening-Mr. Reeves asked me to go to the ball game. Oh! what shall I wear? Ithink Mr. Reeves is quite handsomeg the girls will be jealous. Nov. 10-Mr. Page sat by me at the game and nearly caused me to screamg he just looked daggers at poor Mr. Reeves. I suppose faculty members are not allowed to take students out, but I'd give my old shoes for Mr. Reeves: he's such an amiable creature. Dec. 26-I received a Christmas card from Mr. Page-all engraved, but never a rose. The roses came from Mr. Reeves with a touching little note in his own hand writing. Jan. 7-I can hardly see straightg I'm so excited. Mr. Page is going to take me to the opera and to dinner at the Booby House. He may look indif- ferent on the outside but he has not suffered from dislocation of the heart. Jan. 9-Mr. Page surely knows how to give one a delightful evening and What's more-I have enjoyed every minute. I never dreamed I should, for he's rather odd. Never took my arm once or even Walked near me on the side- walk. Jan. 10-Mr. Reeves took me to Toledo. We had dinner at a restaurant and then went to Keith's. Iwore the loveliest corsage bouquet of lilies of the valley and violets. He hasn't the style Mr. Page has nor does he spend money t h th r date with Mr. Page, so freely. Mr. Reeves does not want me o ave ano e but I will never promise that. Jan. 11-I am losing my good opinion of Mr. Reeves. He wrote me a type- written note today. Jan. 15-Is the room turning or am I? Mr. Page asked me to go for a walk thru the oak grove. Oh night of horrors! he really loves me. I have abso- lutely no feeling for himg I must be in the first stages of insanity. He almost cried 3-his voice was so coaxmg. I could hardly resist. His arm drew me closer and closer and I felt his lips on my cheek. Oh! how can I ever meet him ' ' ' ' th' . Ohlwhat face to face? If I live until Im eighty, I shall never forge im shall I do? Jan. 29-So many things have happened and I am not myself. People are wondering if I am ill. Mr. Reeves mailed me the most beautiful proposal all full of poetry. Not knowing myself, and carried away by the beauty of the words, I wrote Mr. Page that I never cared to see him again. But soon I came to myself when I saw the state of poor Mr. Page: he could hardly teach his class. Something just made me love him. I hail him as my hero-for he saved me from the day of doom. l30 Fourth- imensional Space GERTRUDE M. SMITH. '18. ff BELIEVE I shall have time to copy the problems that Professor Robert placed on the blackboard for the calculus class, said Beth to herself as she came from the chemical laboratory. But I must hurry, for I promised to go walking with Louise before dinner! Beth was a senior at college. She enjoyed science and philosophy and had spent much time studying mathematics. She had taken the course in the History of Mathematics which she found very interesting, but the theory of fourth-di- mensional space had proved especially fascinating to her. Professor Robert of the Mathematics department had lectured on Fourth-dimensional Space and Beth had read several booklets on that subject, which he had recommended to the class. She now hurried up the stairway to the third floor. It was already grow- ing dark and the class rooms were quite deserted. Passing down the dimly lighted corridor she entered Professor Robert's recitation room. seated herself near the blackboard and began copying the problems. The room was so quiet that she could even hear the ticking of her wrist-watch as her pencil flew over the paper. She was copying the last of the problems when she heard foot- steps approaching in the corridor. Someone quickly closed theheavy door of Professor Robert's room and locked it. It must have been the janitor locking the doors for the night, she thought. He didn't know there was anyone here. She ran to the door at once but could not open it. She called to the janitor but he did not hear her. She called again. There was no answer. What shall I do? she asked herself. Shall I have to spend the night here alone? No one knows that I came up here. Louise will look for me, no doubt. She sank into the large chair near the desk, realizing for the first time since she had finished with them, that the experiments in- the laboratory had been very tiring. She gazed about her at the familiar pictures of the old mathe- maticians hanging on the walls. It had now grown so dark in the room that she could not distinguish their features but she had seen them so often that she knew just whose picture was in each black frame. l3l F ourth-Dimensional Space- Continued If I were only in the world of four dimensions instead of that of but three, she pondered. I could easily get out of this place without opening the door. In four-dimensional space one can see the inside of a closed box by look- ing into it from the fourth dimension, just as he can see the inside of a rectangle drawn on a Hat horizonal surface by looking down into it from the third dimen- sion. One should be able to escape from a locked room just as easily as he can step out of a rectangle drawn upon the floor. Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted at this point by strange voices. She looked wildly about her. Where am I? This place seems so strange. Is it indeed Professor Robert's room? Yes, it must be for here are the four walls and here the pictures. But the walls are transparent, I can see right through them. ' As she stared in amazement the pictured men stepped down from their frames and each in turn floated slowly from the room. Hearing a sound at her side she turned quickly and saw a graceful young lady tracing curves on the blackboard. I . Who is she? thought Beth. I must know her: she looks so very familiar. If I could only speak her name. The young lady turned and said pleasantly, Of course you know me, I am Ana Lytic. Then with a mischievous smile she added, You enjoy walking, suppose you take a walk with me. Beth thought longingly of Louise, but she took Ana Lytic's arm, and almost instantly they glided together from the room. Are we really in fourth-dimensional space now? questioned Beth, as she recalled how the room had been securely closed and locked. Ana Lytic laughed but she said nothing. I didn't know there were so many souls in the fourth-dimensional world, exclaimed Beth as she found herself entirely surrounded by a highbrow com- l3anY- f , 4 Q M. ..-M I Ana Lytic seemed to read her thoughts, for she said: Yes, there are many people in this world, and you know some of them, too. That Greek over there dressed in Hindu costume is a very old friend of yours. Do you not recognize him '? Why, yes, that is Al G. Bra, replied Beth, but who is that other Greek Leside him? That is Geo. M. Etry, but he isn't a Greek. He appears to be, but he is agtually of Egyptian descent, explained Ana Lytic. Just then they met a boy who appear ed to be somewhat younger than Ana LytlC. 5 Hello! Cal, Miss Lytic called after him. Then turning to Beth she said, That is a very practical fellow and you may know that he does a great deal of useful work. His name is Cal. Q. Lus. 132 Fourth-Dimensional Space-Continued Beth sighed. I thought I knew all of these people. but they look so dif- ferent in this new world. Ah! here are some old friends! Here at these desks placed in a semi-circle are all of those old mathematicians whose pictures hang on the walls in Professor Robert's room. They at least look natural. Yes, replied Ana Lytic, they have left their frames and have come to- gether to work. They do this every night. Beth looked about her at the busy workers. The brows of some were deeply furrowed as they studied over a perplexing problem. Others ran their fingers through their long hair. Suddenly one of them brought his fist down upon the desk with a loud bang and, jumping to his feet, shouted, Eureka l What's the matter, Thales ? inquired Pythagoras who sat next to him proving the proposition that the square on the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. Well, said Thales, you know one of my mules that I have been using to transport salt, has a trick of lying down when crossing streams so as to dis- solve part of his load. At last I have a plan that, I think. will break him of this habit. I shall put a load of sponges on his back. Beth laughed at the plan of Thales but Ana Lytic looked distressed when she said to Beth, There are ,Cardan and Tartaglia quarreling again. Tartaglia accuses Cardan of stealing his solutiol of the cubic equation, while Cardan claims that he solved it himself. But there is my father, Descartes, beckoning me. He needs me to help him with his work. I shall go back to Professor Robert's room, said Beth, and wait for you there. ' All right, said Ana Lytic. You can easily find your way. Just go back the way we came. Beth never knew how she had left the room nor how she had returned to it, but suddenly she found herself back in the large chair by the desk. Again she heard voices, but this time they were familiar ones. She arose and rubbed her eyes. Some one had turned on the light, and there stood Louise and a group of girl friends laughing and calling her. The janitor stood by the door jingling his bunch of keys. I have been to the fourth-dimensional world, Beth said to them simply. You have been asleep, said Louise. if ,S 'wa if 33 I33 Y ,cfliya ' ' XX W x ., 4 ,iw X S f'4.'!eFx!6:iLX ' K XX 2 X - ,, . . , X 1 . . :N b X-.fx X 7 l .X , f XLXX5 'X x ' X, 'xx X.

Don't you love to remember, pals o' mine, The good old days of auld lang syne, When we hadn't a worry and hadn't a care, Our hearts were as free, and as light as the air We breathed-down at B. G. Normal? How clearly it all comes back today- The things we did, and the things we'd say: The lessons prepared, the tasks left undone: Who'd worry 'bout lessons, with so much fun To be had out at B. G. Normal? And the dear old dorm-a treasure lore Of memories sweet. And more and more As the hours take wing, and new days are born, I long to be back with the girls at the dorm Of dear old B. G. Normal. THE IDEAL B. G. N. C. STUDENT FLORA MAI: SHEPARD, Ex. '18 I don't intend to tell you , Just how this person looks, But what she does and what she knows 'Bout things one learns from books. She has a written program And goes by it each dayg A time to study, eat and sleep, To walk and talk and play. There's not a moment wasted From early morn 'til night. And every thing is planned so well It all comes out just right. She does her work so well each day She never has to cram And take light cuts and work 'til morn, The night before exam. She ne'er was known to cut a class Just at vacation time, For to be absent, sick or well, Would seem to her a crime. She never, never misses Lit, Goes every single time! And when assessed a nickel She always gives a dime. Her teachers all depend on her, They know she'll answer right, And not just mumble something When she's called on to recite. For in every recitation Her mind's so very keen She never hesitates nor says, I don't know what you mean. Nor does she make that old excuse Which gives instructors pain- I'm sure I understand it But somehow, I can't explain. The written work that she hands in Does please her teachers sol The thoughts are all surrounded By Art Principles you know! She measures all her margins And her papers do look fine. She'd almost rather die than write Upon the bottom line! In English she's a wonder- Was never known to' fail, She knows a legend from a myth And folk lore from a tale. She knows that Wooley book by heart From A way down to Z, And instead of reading fiction She reads the Glossary. Her English teacher told her That 'tis a splendid rule To write a composition, Each day when one's in school. And so at once she did begin To write one every day, Instead of saying prayers at night She writes a theme, they say. Her motto is Count that day lost Whose low descending sun, Views in thy English note book No composition done. In studying Psychology, Which puzzles most of us, She goes about her lessons Without a bit of fuss. She can tell what fiveness is And habits she can trace A long way back, because she has An apperceptive base. In that branch called Industrial Arts She gets along so well, Most every definition She can get right up and tell. BEEGEE JINGLES She understands perspective, And those little points that vanish: You'll never hear her say a dress Is brown, cerise or tannish. She understands the color tree, And chroma, value, hue, Are just like A, B, C to her, And color schemes are, too. And I dare say, if she should blush, Her color would not be What most folks carelessly call pink, But red, five over three. She designs all of her dresses For parlor, street and kitchen, And trims them round the edges With rhythmic repetition. And so she ne'er neglects her work, She's socially efficient, In all affairs, in school and out, Exceedingly proficient. I fear that you are getting tired, , So I shall not go on To tell you all the virtues Of this perfect paragon.

OUR SOPHOMORE PRESIDENT When she has a thing to do, she sees it thru: She does not leave her work half done And when something is begun To some other hobby run: She sees it through!

I 'x -n-1.-.- ls ug lluising at Williams Hu BEEGEE J ING LES HOW WE GOT OUR F LAC FLORA MAE S1-IEPARD, Ex. '18. - We raise on high our Country's Flag, The red, the white, the blue, A sacrificial emblem 'tis, Of hearts both brave and true. For the gold with which 'twas purchased Was given with many a tear By those who deem their native land Than aught else far more dear. The girls who lived at Williams Hall Decided they must buy A flag which would be worthy O'er the Dorm to float on highg So to obtain the money Said they, We'll have a sale Of all our dearest treasures: This way we can not fail. Then each took inventory Of things that she might give, Of things, tho' sorely needed, Without which she might live! Things beautiful and dainty Which maiden heart doth crave, These generous, noble-hearted girls To swell the fund now gave. One girl did bring a collar, Some, wristlets: and some, hose, 1 The latter decorated With runners in deep rows. One maiden brought a parasol, A beauty in its day, ' Which she with tender, loving care Long since had laid away. And one with great and generous heart Bro't forth her friend's best dress, And said while others freely gave That she could do no less. So each one bravely parted With brush or curling tongs, With matches, perfumes, powder, One-legged hairpins, combs- With slippers only slightly soiled And pins a trifle bent, Bright ribbons, waists and neckwear With scarce a spot or rent. And one girl gave a picture, A picture in a frame, The likeness of a lover. I shall not tell her name. And when the pile quite large had grown, The auctioneeress rose, And called for bids as from the pile With tears some gift she chose, For she could not help thinking Of sacrifices great Which she and all her friends had made The flag fund to create. At last the sale was over And everything was sold, And when the bills had all been paid There was enough of gold To buy the beauteous emblem Which now doth fioat on high. And says to all, On hearts like Our Country may rely. these We know that in dishonor's dust This flag will never fall, And may it ever stand for that Which freedom means for all. And may it fioat above the Hall Which shelters onlv those Within whose veins the loyal blood Of patriotism flows! I39 BEEGEE JINGLES MRS. M. CAN. This is blank verse, It doesn't show brains, I don't know enough To come in when it rains. But I can write poems To a person, you see, Who's the Editor-in-Chief Of our year book, Beegee. She was missed at the party, I should say the banquet. She was missed at the feed It sounds best, indeed. v Such affairs sure are funny, Guests look rather bored, And have little to say, When the coffee is poured. Each watches another To see what to do, Which fork she should use, Or how she should chew. It's real fun to serve At such swell affairs, And act so sedate And put on fine airs. But when something's funny And one must not laugh, Well, what should one do? Just give a slight cough. They'l1 think you have croup, Or something like that, And you'll just look vacant, And act very flat. Mrs. M., you were missed, Can served at your table, We knew you couldn't come, As you were not able. Only one chair was vacant, And near it Can stood, She felt quite as lonesome As the Babes in the Wood. PLAY SQUARE BLANCHE SNYDER, '19. It is better to fail with a conscience clean, Than to pass by a trick unfairg It is better to fail and know you've been Whatever the reward was, square, Than to claim that honor of a far-off goal And all the praise from the standers-by And to know down deep in your deepest soul, A cheat I must live and die. By playing the tricl: you may win the prize, And at first it may seem sweet, But many a year in your future lies When you'll wish you had met defeat: For he who failed will be glad at heart And walk with his head up high. While you, his superior, play the part Of a cheat, a living lie. A diploma seems fair when the light is on, But unless it is honestlv won, You will hate the thing when the crowds are gone, For it stands for a false deed done. And it's better you should never reach that goal, Than ever the success to buy At the price of knowing in your deepest soul, This glory and honor is all a lie. IDEALISM NORMAN W. RALSTON. There is a place that men call Heaven, But unto me no right is given To call this self-same place my home When from my earthly cares I roam, To wander somewhere else. But then there is a chance, perhaps, Before life's bugle sounds the taps, I may grow good enough to see A little of the mystery That lies beyond the clouds. At least I hope that I may give A portion of my soul, to live Up there where angels talk and sing And walk about, where everything Is made of shining gold. THE DEAN CLASS or 1915. Standing upright on the floor, he can scarce get through the door, But he could squeeze through the keyhole small and round. Mr. Walker, that's his name, he's some walker for he came From a distance to show us how this Yankee land was found. You like him-so do I I-Iere's the reason why: BEEGEE He's very cleverg he's crabby never, He's smiling ever at us all: Smart as he is tall. nothing 'bout him mean or small. He's easy going, it's he that's knowing I-Iow to handle us with careg We think our Mr. Walker's sure some talker. Nevertheless we'd like to soak him, we'd like to choke him, We'd like to make him kind of sad, For he shows such deference For volumes of reference, He drives us mad. OUR REA McCAIN CLASS OF 1915. We met her in the schoolroom on a rainy afternoon, She said she could not stay for she was going soon: And so she fluttered 'round the room from board to desk to chair: Upon my mind she left a vision rare. Time has not changed her loveliness, She's just as sweet today, We see her yet, we can't forget The way she used to say: Now you take the first page, And you take the next pageg And soon the book was through, We sit and labor, so that will save her From a lesson long and hard. She's in a hurry, and all in a flurry For fear she will miss her car. She gives us lessons much longer And we want to talk stronger When Rea McCain comes along. THE SECRET MERCEDES SPRING!-ZR, '17. I know just the loveliest secret: Would you like me to tell it to you? The birds and the buds and the flowers Told me, and the bright skies so blue. Spring is coming, and good Mother Nature Has spread out her blanket of green, With lzer wand she has touched all the tree- ops, And they've waked from a long winter dream. The robin, the thrush and all birddom The very same message do bring- All whisper the same lovely secret Which tells of the coming of Spring. JINGLES SPRINGTIME AND INSPIRATION FLORA MAE SHEPARD, Ex. '18 My verse is not the bubbling-brook And balmy-breezes kind: I S'D0Se that's- why spring weather Does not inspire my mind. And so while real true poets feel The magic of the season. My thoughts do quite refuse to soar: The fact is- There's a Reason. Real poets note the promise Of coming leaf and bud, And feel that difference in the air: But I just see the mud. They say that in real poets, spring The spark of genius fansg But spring to me means paper, rags, Old iron and old tin cans. Real poets hear the murmur Of streams from ice now freeg But I cannot hear murmurs, Spring has to yell at me. Real poets say that hope and joy They breathe in with the air, But I just breathe in germs, and note That trees are still quite bare. Real poets say returning spring Their hearts with rapture fills, But I see snow that's badly soiled And don't get any thrills. So, though I wish it were not true, I cannot help but know it, My thoughts are not poetical And I am not a poet. WHEN B. G. WAS IN THE MAKING GERTRUDE SANDYS, '15. Will you recall that summer day, my col- leagues of '15, when we arrived for six weeks' stay at renowned Bowling Green? But 'twas then no Normal College: we made it one that year, as we worked and laughed and tried our best to make the pathway clear for future ones to take our place. And so to keep B. G. in the front rank of colleges, as had been our decree. we all but built that famous place Qexcuse my mod- esty! in our short six weeks of summer toil, down there at dear B. G. When we ar- rived-history begang we flung the portals wide, as solemnly we christened it Ohio's Normal Pride. Our foosteps faint, you l4I BEEGEE JINGLES still can trace in B. G.'s Hall of Fame, for ours were the first to roam thereg we began to make its name. So B. G.-I toast youg I always will boast you: you've just put a nick in my heart. Your sciences made meg your practices saved me: in my life you've played quite a part! You're a great institution, you've found the solution of making teachers efhcient. May genius inspire you, the whole world admire you, your graduates always sufficient. . THE STORM MARTHA Pi-mans, '18. The dark clouds sweep across the sky, The rolling thunder nearer sounds And sighing winds now faster fiy, Then pouring rain in torrents bounds. Behind the lowering clouds, the sky Is still a deep celestial blue, And when the storm has passed us by The sun's bright rays will then shine through. The earth is gayer when the storm Has passed: as man is stronger made When he, through many sufferings borne His conquering soul 'gainst wrong has stayed. THE ENIGMA BLANCHE SNYDER, '19. You are everything that we want, all that we try to avoid. You are an economic necessity, an expensive luxury. You are as fickle as April, as constant as time. You are as wrathful as Thor, as peaceful as Kang-wang. You desire protection, but scorn the pro- tector. You are the angel of infancy, the pest of youth. You are the annoyance of mankind, the solace of age. You despise cowardice, but shudder at valor. You are devoutly religious, impatient of social restraint. You dearly love freedom, but adhere to con- ventionalities. You are the embodiment of love, the incar- nation of jealousy. You sympathize with our pain, but infiict us with heartache. You are infinitely self-sacrificing, intensely selfish. You are the goddess we worship, the demon we damn. You are the alpha and' omega, the start and the finish of argument. You are the bane of our existence, the joy of The tests which try all mortals true, our life. The clouds that cross each human life, You are inexplainable, undefinable, non-un- But guide the soul to efforts new derstandable. And lead man on to nobler strife. You are-must I say it?-Woman. The Ten Commandments of the Bowling Green Freshman I CHARLES H. MOSES, '18 And it came to pass on the first day, in the morning, that there were lightnings and thunderings and a dark cloud was over the Main Building and there came a blast of the trumpet that was exceedingly loud, and peo- ple that were in the buildings and on the campus trembled. And C. H. Moses went down unto the students and faculty and spake, saying: I. I am the spirit of Bowling Green Nor- mal College which hast brought thee out of darkness, ignorance, and placed thee in the lightg thou shouldst hold B. G. N. C. to be first of all places of leaming. II. Thou shalt not carry in thine heart and mind any image of days when thou art free from school cares, for thou must con- tinually train the young idea to shoot. LII. Thou shalt not keep out any reserved books after 8:30 a. m. for the eye of the librarian is ever open, and woe unto those who disobey these regulations. IV. Honor and obey Doctor Williams, the Faculty and the Trustees that your days in B. G. N. C. may make you an alumnus of the institution. V. Honor and do homage to all Seniors and graduates for they are a respected people. VI. Remember all faculty regulations, and respect the professors' opinions: do not bluff in class, for the way of the bluffer is hard: neither shalt thou pony in examina- tions. VII. Thou shalt urge all worthy young people to enroll with B. G. N. C., for yours is a growing and deserving institution. VIII. Thou shalt not practice any take- offs on the faculty for such is beneath the dignity of students, neither shalt thou sleep during recitation periods, for this is a fac- ulty privilege. 'IX. Six days and seven nights each week thou shalt study, cram and worry, and on the seventh day thou shouldst review thy work. X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's A's, B's, her stand in with the profs, her steady nor anything that is thy neigh- bor's. XX-TN 43:41 JL Me mx -aff 4 K- gn- fix 3.1 , fry? gn . If '- lt 51 - U.

Several mules and four boys were attempting to cross on the little ferry boat which was guided on its way by-a cable. On the day of which I speak, the current was unusually strong and .the ferryman had all that he could do to keep his boat facing in the right direction. When the party, con- sisting of six mules and four men, had reached the middle of the stream, the cable broke. One of the mules was never recovered, but the men escaped.

PHONBTICAL FUN A concrete example of the very practical system of phonics which is being taught in the first grade of our Training School was recently given by a bright little six-year old. The temporary quarters of the Training School necessitated the placing of some sign to show the pupils when they might enter the building before sessions. A card was hung by the door which read on one side, Open. and on the reverse side, Closed. One morning Helen walked into the room in high glee. Oh, teacher, she exclaimed, I can tell when to come in, now. I just sounded the sign and it said, Come in.

I54 Dr. F. A. Elson ll OUR PATRONS HE Graduating Classes of the State Normal College sincerely appreciate the financial and moral support which the citizens of Bowling Green have given to this first volume of Beegee. Without such co-operation the enterprise would have been successful in but a small measure. By combining efforts the College and the Community have accomplished more than either could have accomplished single handed. Let Beegee be a covenant to commemorate the realization that in this union there is strength. The Board of Editors acknowledge their indebtedness to the following who have consented to serve as patrons to the enterprise: H. Heinz Dr. H. Powell Dr. Thos. O. Whitacre Dr. Thos. M. Lea E.
