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.

MAJESTIC, high in the heavens, The moon is riding tonight, And a pathway over the water Is spread of silvery light, The waves, untiring, restless, Break on the rugged shore, Speak in an unknown language Of things unsolved before. Ocean voices never ceasing, What is the message you bring? Be it joy, or be it sorrow, Teach me the songyou sing. You come from the heart of the ocean, From the depths of its very soul, Is it in vain man may listen For the secrets you unroll? Then the moonbeams softly falling, Mingled with the Whispering wave, Breathed of love and hope and patience, Bade my heart be true and brave. I M. L.
