p 'NORMAL OFFERING 13 ifiliinrittl. NCE again our OFFERING appears, but changed by many circum- stances. With this edition begins a new regime, for now the book is wholly an enterprise of the student body. There is now no Normal Club to give financial aid, but funds have been raised by the classes from plays and candy sales. The School is changed, too, for an entering class larger than ever before surprised us in September, so large that our New Dormitory, built to allow for growth, is filled to its capacity. In the Natural Science Garden a hot-house has been erected, a gift from a former graduate, and now there is hope of the addition of an arboretum. With the second term of this year came the announcement of two new and six enlarged courses in the curriculum. The new courses are: economic chemistry, a laboratory course for the common things of life -cooking, cleaning, and other household work, and blackboard sketch- ing for the Seniors. The enlarged courses are: advanced Geology, a continuation of historical Geology, Spanish, in place of advanced Latin, advanced French and German, in addition to the regular advanced courses, American literature, the greenhouse course, and manual training and art appreciation. r Our famed dramatics are now produced by a new organization, the Dramatic Club under Miss Brown's supervision. The reason for this change is that the already crowded courses found no room for our usual play without overworking our prospective school ma'ams who want so much in so short a time. The Fall Term Psychology classes were sadly interrupted in their progress by the illness of Mr. Albert G. Boyden, who returned to us before Christmas, apparently as strong as ever, and certainly with just as much courage and inspiration. So, here is your book and for the help-financial, dramatic, and grammatical-that we have received the Board wishes to thank - Our Teachers: Mr. A. C. Boyden, Miss Anna W. Brown, Miss

ONE starry, frosty, bleak December night, I stood upon a hill-top far away, And looked into the valley from this height, Upon the town that now in slumber lay. The moon hung low behind the western pines, And cast her silvery light in slantingibeams, That traced upon the window such designs As one might pencil only in his dreams. The cracking ice in yonder lake, I heard, I heard the wind go whispering through the trees, And oft the screech of some mysterious bird Would come to me along the cool, crisp breeze. Alone, I was, out in the frosty night, A silent witness of that mystic sight. G. B. R. 0 7
