16 NORMAL OFFERING Eliarnltg Numa. EAR after year the great purpose of the Normal School is carried on by the Faculty. There is no special mark or date to distin- guish the body of instructors of one year from that of another. And why not? Are there not great changes? Nearly every year some face honored and respected disappears from our sight, and in its place appears another, strange at first, but heartily welcome to make a place for itself in the hearts of all. Then why does the Faculty seem always the same? Each year these people gather to instruct young men and women in this highest of professions. Each year they give of themselves with that same spirit of love and unseliishness which was shown by another Teacher years ago. Changes come, but the great spirit and purpose of the school must and always will remain. This year, as usual, there have been a few changes, and to the new teachers we extend a sincere and hearty welcome. Miss Comstock has been forced to leave us on account of ill health, and her helpful and gracious presence is greatly missed. In her place comes Miss Edith W. Moses. To Miss Brown has been granted a year's leave of absence, that she may continue her studies at Columbia University. Meanwhile her work is carried on by Miss Adelaide Moffitt, both in class and as direc- tor of the Dramatic Club. Miss J onsen left us to be married, and we all wish her every happi- ness. Her place is taken by Miss Ethel M. Flower and Mr. Frederick M. Wilder. ' Miss Bertha S. Badger has come to assist in the Art Department. Miss Cora A. Newton is now Supervisor of Training in place of Mrs. Veasey who, after her marriage, so kindly carried on the work until a teacher could be found. During the first term we missed the kindly face and helpful- in- struction of Mr. Kirmayer, who was absent that he might regain his healthy and we were very glad to have him with us again at the begin- ning of the second term. During the fall Mr. A. G. Boyden was absent a short while on account of his health, but was back as soon as it was in any degree possible, so earnest and unselfish is he in his desire to give his pupils all that his department can give to prepare them for the great Life School.

18 NORMAL OFFERING Iihitnrial. ITH the month of June comes an expectancy that is satisfied only by the appearance .of the NORMAL OFFERING, and this year the unrest has been more pronounced than ever, owing to the large number of'students in the School. It would be indeed bromidic to dwell long upon the growth made by the School, but every Normalite is proud of the fact that we have the largest entering class ever known in the history of dear old Normal. y This year the OFFERING has been published upon a new basis. There is now a written constitution, which provides for an Editorial Board consisting of nineteen members elected by the students of the School and for a permanent treasurer. In order to win the cooperation of a number of students, two prizes were offered, one of Eve dollars for the best short story, and the other a free copy of the OFFERING for the best cartoon. Miss Dickinson, Miss Moffitt, and Mr. Jackson kindly consented to act as judges of the story, and Miss Davis, Miss Soper, and Miss Badger of the cartoon. They gave their decisions as follows: Best story: Winning in Room SiX,'f Charles W. Brooks. Best cartoon: Iva M. McFadden. We wish to congratulate the successful contestants, and also to thank those who by competing showed their willingness to help sup- port their year book. Even though their efforts are not read by the School, nevertheless they are deeply appreciated by the Board. Now the proverbial question, When is the OFFERING to come out? is answered for the fifteenth time, and for the help in enabling us to answer the question the Board wishes to thank: Our Teachers: Mr. A. G. Boyden, Miss Ruth F. Atkinson, Miss Bertha S. Badger, Miss Florence I. Davis, Miss Alice E. Dickinson, Miss Elizabeth F. Gorden, Mr. W. D. Jackson, Miss Adelaide Moflitt, Miss Edith W. Moses, Miss Mabel B. Soper. Our Classes: Class B, Classes C 3 and C 4, Section I, Senior I, II, and III.
