While with us she endeared her¬ self to all by her merry, winning ways and her keen appreciation and enjoyment of people. We recall in her a fine scorn of shams as well as her splendid unselfishness. Conscientious and faithful in her work, she entered freely into honest fun and took a full share of the life of the dormitory. In Laura Phillipi we feel that we have lost from among us a presence dear to the faculty and students, but that there remains a memory and influence, bright and helpful, that will last thru life. . • The death of Mrs. Niblett’s father, which occurred early in January, was one of the saddest events of our Senior year. Tho we were not personally acquainted with him. our love for Mrs. Niblett, and the fact that she is an honorary member of the class, make her loss ours thru our sympathy with her.

[ ( | )a5 undertaken by tile most progressive, up-to-date, energetic class the W. S. N. S. has ever g known_the class of ' 07. We entered upon the amusement—lor Mr. Kirkpatrick says anything sub- m. J jectively pleasant is amusement—with due reverence toward its responsibilities, with conservative hopes for its possibilities, with indomitable determination to make it a success, and last but not least, with a feeling that , . . j sympathy and co operation from the rest of the school. We wish to express our sincere thanks and appre- wc � hou gj ven t„ us by all the members of our beloved faculty: but especially to Prof. W ' ilson. who encouraged nation o doubt and uncertamty at its beginning; to Prof. Morgan, whose practical advice and sympathy made U ' Imcet and to Dr. Hnrris. who is ever a source of refreshment and encouragement, and who has also aided iiumidyn proof-reading. THIS SC HOOL was established by Act of Legislature on the 28th of March. 1890. and designated as the Washing- State Normal School. We claim it to be the oldest and best school in the state. Its equipment is the best that money !°,n buy and out-of-doors can furnish. We arc centrally located. Our situation is ideal. In the town there are few distractions, but many attractions. The building is excellent and the grounds beautiful. We have a remarkable training department ' But above all we have the most able and most admirable faculty with which a school was ever blest—a f.irullv icady and willing, merciful and kind, true and virtuous, honorable and lovable. Our present principal came here in 1898, from the Stale Normal School at Providence, Rhode Island. We will not eulogi e him. for we feel that all who read this know him. But we will say one word. He loves his neighbor as him¬ self No one knows the school as a body or as individuals better than he: and few but can testify of help, encouragement and sympathy gained from him personally. •. . Our vice-principal is like unto him in character. He has spent most of his past life in untiring efforts lor the cause of education in our own state and school. He has occupied the chair of mathematics for nearly thirteen year , so is now our senior teacher. Of the other teachers we need only to say that we love them dearly, and firmly believe that they love us. We cannot begin to realize what they are doing for us; but when we have left our dear old school, to enter upon the field for which they have been jealously preparing us, we know that more and more we shall become aware of the tremendous debt we owe them. A THL NORMAL SCHOOL—pooh—a place for teachers and pedagogs. old maids and bachelors. This, the senti¬ ment of young people taught in the backwoods of civilization by old Miss Hannah Grinsbee, age 48. and Mr. Alexander Madison Plunkett, a little older. And if this myth has not found lodgment in the brain of the youth, another, equally bad and unfounded, is sometimes discovered. A school of method, with practical common sense in the cellar. Deluded generation! Why, yes, of course, there are some old-maid teacher , but that is not their fault. How could it be otherwise when the ratio is almost 16 to I in favor of the feminines, where polygamy is unlawful, and where, of course. few will marry below their class? But. my dear reader, if you think this school a place for old maids, just step into the gymnasium any recess period. There you will see the fairest of the fair—and a few of the bravest of the brave! 1 he second fairy tale, however, has a little more foundation. We do have some method work. Ways and means are suggested to us—which is more than can be said of many of those practical business schools. But the fundamental axiom of all teaching is. Know what you are going to teach before you find out how to teach it. liven when this is accom- p .shed we are not given a formula or carefully worked out theory to follow in our teaching. Indeed, the absence of such often staggers the uninitiated student. Instead of answering the question. How arc we to teach a subject to a child?” the child � mind is opened up to us and human nature is explained; with this on the one hand and knowledge on the other, the how is left a question to be answered only by the individual and dependent on that one’s peculiar environment. Of course there are some general universal principles, which have been worked out by careful observation and experiment of the greatest modern educators which are studied—practically—in the school. But as has been said before, the training of the teacher aims to reveal to him a truer, clearer, more perfect understanding of the child—physically, mentally, morally and spirlually. • ' ow 7 1 1 15 ,here ,n mis which is special, which is useless, except to teachers? What vocation loses because of a knowledge of human nature? In how much is an occupation made less profitable because those who engage in it understand men? Nothing. No. The Normal School is not a school of method and specialization. We take pupils from the eighth grade and in six years they have a standing which will admit them to the Junior Year of the State University; or from the High School, and in two years give them the same standing. Here their hearts and minds are broadened. Taking them as school chil¬ dren. anxious to become great, wise and happy, loving each other and their school, we send them out with their desire for sell-irrproveirent and happiness, changed to an eagerness to give to the world, to uplift humanity and to serve their God. 3 ? AS AMERIC ANS we claim great literature, as English-speaking people the greatest in the world. Our literature is read by more people than any other—dead languages excepted—but probably by fewer foreigners. We might also say that among the English-speaking people there is a great number of people who do not read it. Why? Principally because our spoken language is so different from our written. Maybe two-thirds of the words are spelled the way they sound; the other third any outlandish way. For instance, such words as man. horse, experiment, musical, dogma, electric, etc., are i j S ,1Cy afe P ronol j nccc b an hence are rarely misspelled. But when such words as clique, unique, receive, tired. Wednesday, etc., are required, most of us have to stop and see the word, or think of some rule or exception to some rule, before we venture to spell it. It is mainly because of this fact, this complication in our spelling system, that so many people are called illiterate, because a man uses his car and common sense, and writes business b-i-s-n-c-s.” people draw away from him and have as little to do with him as possible. Because a child is given such a word as meadow to spell, and spells it m-e-d-o,” he is kept ln after school, forced to warp his sense of fitness to comply with arbitrary incongruous rules; has his faith in naturalness badly shaken up; and what is most unfortunate, wastes precious hours of his childhood, which otherwise might have been spent out of doors winning the rights of man given in Adam’s charter. I he cause (or this confusion has long been recognized to be the wonderful way in which so many words are constructed, lo meet this difficulty wonderful rules have been formed—rules whose exceptions are as numerous as their applications, but this method has proved wonderfully useless. Only by setting apart a half hour each day for spelling lessons, and having spelling lessons in connection with every subject in the curriculum, is it possible to make respectable spellers out of most children. 14 So. finally, our leading educators and literary men have gone straight to the point and have begun a system to simplify spelling. Already ten words have been accepted by the public in their simplified form, and a board known as the Simpli¬ fied Spelling Board has drawn up and circulated a list of three hundred more. Most of us, being poor spellers, are glad to see this little leak in the dike of conventionality, and few will try to stick their finger in the crack and stand up all night to save it: for. if the dike breaks, all will be easy sailing. The Kooltuo has watched this movement eagerly, and has been among the first to accept the modified words. But we have gone further. Being disappointed in not finding several words, which we recommended to the Board for simplifica¬ tion in their list, we have taken upon ourselves the responsibility of presenting them to the public. And in so doing we have chosen a rather unique method. Instead of making a list of words and printing it separately—which would have been too great a shock to most people—we have sprinkled them thru our book, sometimes spelling them the old way. sofaclimcs the new. thinking thus better to get your impartial o pinion, and to show you the sense of the one way and the nonsense of the other. IN THE midst of preparing our material for the press, comes the news of the awful disasters in California—the earthquakes, the tidal waves, the fires—which left a city of 300,000 people in confusion and panic; the day showing an increasing wreck and horror: the night covering the helpless city with blackness, thus doubling the dangers from nature ' s fury and adding those of plunder, rapine and murder. Such calamities cannot pass any of us without making us feel our littleness, the utter insignificance of our efforts, and the Almighty Power of Him who controls all things. We cannot understand these things. We cannot see their wisdom. We have not near the wide horizon line, nor the high view point to rejoice in them. We call them untimely, unfortunate, calamitous. We pity that such things should ever occur, but we dare not say: I his should not have happened.” The Kooltuo wishes to express its heartfelt sympathy to all those in the school, who, by these awful events, have sus¬ tained loss and suffered pain. And to the two sister schools of Berkeley and Stanford we extend sincere sympathy and commiseration in the disasters befallen them. They have been the leading schools of the West, and by their misfortune we are all afflicted. We have sent to each school members of our own and thus feel that we are sharers in their glory; ' and now sharers in their sorrow. Finally, we give sympathy to all who have been afflicted in any way by these events and whom we have been powerless to help. We give them what we are able to give financially and mentally. In their loss we feel for them, and in their brave struggles to overcome their ruin, we encourage and applaud them. Glasses Senior Class CLASS OFFICERS. President . Alma Bishop Vice-President ....

We’re the class Of naughty-six! ;°6 The Class of naught six is a class very bright. They study all day until late in the night: Are said to be good at their books, none arc fakes, And bright in the things that each one undertakes. A bright red ’06 no one dares to ignore. Will prove it—behold them on walks and on door. Just watch this fine class and so model your ways, You’ll always go right, and right always pays. Our Alma s hair is pure gold. And to her has never been sold; Of our class she is president. And of Ellensburg resident. But she s soon to leave us we’re told. 1 here is a young lady named Frances, Who plays for all of our dances, bhe also writes well. As Miss Harris can tell, And our hearts she has won with her glances. Miss Vera a-riding will go, Jn the sun or the rain or the snow. Behind those fast greys In buggies or sleighs. There’s nothing about it that’s slow. Oh have you heard of Miss West, who is quieter than all the rest? But she doesn’t tell lies. And she never makes eyes. And we’ll prove it who know her the best. A cracker-jack poet is Lola, Her music is like the viola. Her rhythm and rhyme Are always in time And in genius she rivals E. Zola. A Senior named Jennie, you know. In a long blue coat used to go. Her complexion is fair, And dark is her hair. In the sixth grade she taught long ago. 1 here is a young student named Chapin. Who works while others are schlapin ' . She never retires Til Phoebus’ red fires Above the horizon are crapin’. There is a small Matrimonial Primer, Which belongs to this tall and slim rhmyer; Her name it is Maude, By all else she s boahed, But then she’s not yet an old-timer. There was a young maiden named Davis. Of all Senior damsels the bravest. For as treasurer she Kept account carefully, And the money she put where ’twas safest. Who has basket-ball on the brain? 1 is Elsie, of national fame; With a ball in her hand She s bom to command. And she gees like a young hurricane. Do.you know our blue-eyed Maisie? She s sweet as a mountain daisie. She sings like a lark. And knows how to spark. And at both she never is lazie. Oertie Link has a liking for homes. As over the city she roams. But, says she, Barring farms I could learn to Jove Barnes, Even without arfjr high fancy domes.’’ There is a young teacher named Flora, And the children all do adore-a, She taught music and hist’ry. But how, ’tis a mist’ry. But all they ask for is more-a. When Marion’s shoulders do wriggle, I he rest of us all start to wiggle; It’s nonsensical chaff, But we all have to laugh At the catching effect of her giggle. 22 The Senior Girl i A dear little maiden named Pete,” Made candy that couldn ' t be beat; When asked how ' twas done, She said just for fun, I put in only my looks which are sweet.” A curly young girl named Schoeraffe, Went to ride on a long-necked giraffe; Cried she, The commotion Of this critter’s motion Is enough to make anyone laugh. TO OUR SCHOOL Tune: Vive La Compagnie. Come cheerful companions, unite m our song: Here ' s to the school we love! May heaven continue its life to prolong! Here s to the school we love! Our school spirit deepens whenever we sing, W hen wide o ' er the campus our class yells we ring: Here’s to our school! Here s to our school! Here’s to the school And here s to the faculty faithful and true. Here s to our faculty! Their beautiful lives are for me and for you, Here ' s to our faculty! May they all think it pleasure to stay, Altho we are forced to go far away. Here s to the faculty! • Here’s to the faculty! Here s to the faculty we love! e love! Here s to the students, the great and the small, Here s to the students we love! May they never be late to respond to roll-call; Here s to the students we love! May we never forget the friends we have made. Nor the many hard tasks we were so afraid; Here ' s to the students! Here s to the students! Here s to the students we love! Now Flora again comes to view, (Of Miss Salladay I m speaking to you) ; Tho the class has no Roses, There s no lack of poses, But of Floras the Seniors have two. There is a sweet maiden named Jessie, She writes, but it s never an essie; AVith the Muses she strives And finally arrives With a song that is equal to Tessie.” 14 The Junior Class Cap Affair © ,p- |i :N10R and Senior Classes, having profiled by the experience of former years, have concluded that peace . J orc en j 0 yable than war, and for this reason evidences of class spirit have been somewhat wanting. What little excitement we have had has been created with the right spirit, and we are glad to say, has been taken in ' ' C The most exciting incident that has occurred is the Junior Class Cap Affair.” One night shortly after our ation when the Seniors were all at the Library, they began to wonder if the Juniors were not getting tired of wait- Christmas .u a ' anrval of their caps, and, thinking it a good chance to do a good, kind, neighborly act, for which they were ,ng so long j“ . j ,[ lcy at once set about to construct the headgear, and. in a short time, forty-two beautiful caps were com- ever in r ' jj nce S cn j 0 rs desired it to be a complete surprise, the most difficult thing was to decide where to conceal P| ti j (he’time of delivery. Many places, such as behind the books, on top of the ' i T children ' s cloak-rooms, ninth grade room, etc., were suggested, but no satisfac- hel ' lace of concealment could be found until our ever faithful Mrs. Niblett appeared P time (as usual) to offer her room and key. which proved to be the most convenient tal place os. next morn j ng m assern bly. Prof. Wilson read among other announcements the following c | ass ca ps have arrived, and the same may be obtained by calling upon their class teachers at once. The last words had hardly been spoken when two Seniors entered the stage and placed in front of Miss Thomas and Miss Wilcox a pile of caps on which were bril- l-antly painted ' 07.” The caps were about two feet in height and shaped somewhat hke a cone (it is barely possible that some of you have seen such worn by small children standing in the corner of a school-room, with their faces to the wall). When the 07 class president had time to collect his senses, he marched up and delivered the caps, which he and his appreciative classmates wore all day. We can ' t exactly account for it, but the shape seemed to just suit each member’s particular style of beauty, and in fact, to add to that distinguished class the needed fin¬ ishing touch. But the strangest thing about it all is, that as the Juniors did not take any extra pains to let the Seniors know that they had sent for the caps, it should nevertheless be found out, and it is still the great mystery in their minds. HOW DO THE SENIORS FIND OUT SO MANY THINGS? DDE 25 ’ The Sleighing Party Oh! the joys of the winter and snow. When the Seniors a-sleighing did go. Tucked in their straw nests. The warmest and best.

The dormitory dining hall was transfigured into a cosy reception room; teachers , arrival of the guests, delicious odors were pouring forth from the kitchen and the chafing dishes, such and on , e the domestic charms of some of our number. Conversation and chocolate, fortune-telling and candy, were enjoyed until a late hour; for we were all glad with Lucile that she was still to be a dormitory girl, even tho she wls ' going to begin her active work as a teacher. Senior Reception One of the most pleasant functions of the year happened on the evening of February seventeenth, when the Seniors v� their reception for the faculty and students, at the dormitory. The color scheme of the decorations for the evening j an d white, the class colors. This was also carried out in the dining room, where refreshments of ice cream, waters and candies were served. Onc could almost imagine himself in the land of the Lotus-eaters as he entered and climbed the stairs amid the profusion of ivy and flowers, while the strains of music from the violin and guitar were wafted out tc him Standing near the door of the reception room was Miss Bishop (our Senior president), who. assisted by Dr. Har¬ ris Mrs. Niblett. Miss Grupe. Dr. Munson and Mr. Morgan (the class teachers), received the guests. All were made to forget themselves in the merry laughter and talk, and the guests went away feeling that they had spent an enjoyable eve¬ ning, and that the Senior Reception was a brilliant success. if It was the pleasure of the Senior class and Senior teachers to be informally entertained by Professor and Mrs. Morgan Friday evening. April twentieth. As each one entered she was presented with red and white carnations, thus carrying out the class colors. Our host and hostess dispensed with all formality and entertained us at card games and guessing contests. The fact that Dr. Harris received the prize in this latter contest surprised us all, because we did not know that she had carried on a more scientific study of cats than Dr. Munson. _ . . The color scheme was also carried out in the refreshments—and speaking of refreshments, it is whispered about in the Senior class that one of the faculty called for two plates of cakes and three cups of coffee, and another frail maiden alarmed her companions by the number of sandwiches and olives she consumed. At midnight the neighbors were aroused by the cheering aid yells of the class, which signified that the party had bidden Mr. and Mrs. Morgan good night. 27 Senior Want Ads Wanted: lo know by A.

And all went, according to the decree, up into room fourth And Frank, whose surname is also Wilson, also went into room fourth and made fast the door after him. And great was the wonder of the tr8 which liveth next to the Juniors, to the east. One Senior, which in tH Anglo-Saxon tongue meancth Sinner, looketh unto another and sayetl What is the meaning of this mighty gathering? And they marvel! much. And when Frank had made fast the door, and all had seated then selves, the chief-ruler rose up among them and in a voice that sounde like the cooing of a dove or the croaking of a frog, said unto them: _ “Dearly Beloved: I bring you tidings of great fun; Hallowe ’en draweth nigh and we shall have much sport; we shall invite to our he pitable hearth much people. And he selected from his chosen people many to act as committee ! And his people were much pleased, and suddenly there went up a shout of praise, saying. “Great and good is this man whom we have chosen to rule over us I And they fell upon his neck and kissed him and gave gift! unto him. And great were the preparations which they made for the party and on Hallowe’en a mighty multitude assembled at the Sanhedrin, whicl standeth on the hill. Many there were from the tribe of Sinners, and fromi . v j ■ „ the tribe known as Faculty, and of Trustees, and Third Y� ar And cars ’ an e j k n , un ° Jhe tribe of hirst Years, which inhabit the remote corner of the Assembly greeted bv pTto nd’h ' ?

And in vain did the member of the tribe of Trustees who came from the land of Yakima try to assist the chief ruler of the Training Department, but each must enter upon his own merits, and in sack cloth and ashes did the members of the tribe of Faculty repent the evil of their ways. hen at last they all entered into the gymnasium there was great joy, and friend greeted friend, and there was much dancing and music and games. And now when it drew nigh unto the twelfth hour, there was a great feast spread in one of the upper rooms, and each betook himself unto that room, and when they had feasted they betook themselves unto their several homes. And of the pumpkins and corn stalks that remained there were several basketfuls, but of the cider there was none. C. G. The Junior Class was very pleasantly entertained Friday evening, April 20, by one of their members, Charles Guibor, at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Mahan, who assisted him during the evening. The class appeared as requested in costume, and a great amount of merriment was occasioned thereby. Four were dressed as Indians, four as Englishmen, four as Japanese, three as school girls, one as a Hollander, one as a Greecian maiden, and one as a cow girl. Five-hundred and flinch were the games of the evening and the prizes were won by Miss Rhoads and Miss Howland. The Junior teachers—Miss Thomas. Miss Wilcox and Prof. Parks were present. Delicious refreshments were served—sherbet and cake by the host and crackers and raisins by the reds. The guests departed at midnight; and the class yells and cheers for Mr. Guibor and Dr. and Mrs. Mahan were strong evidence that the Juniors had spent a most enjoyable evening.

M. Having met at the entrance of the school building, they retired to the gymnasium and there indulged in the games and dancing of the evening. At 9:30 lunch was served on the movable, gray and red table; (the menu was too extensive to be mentioned here). I’he class then went to the home of Prof. Morgan, where the Seniors were enjoying his hospitality, and there serenaded them. The Seniors’ hearty response was much appreciated by the Third Years. But when they attempted to entertain the Juniors, who were holding forth at Dr. Mahan’s residence, they were completely ignored—■ even when the rousing Normal yell pierced their ears, and we hope their consciences. But the class continued on their way and at last reached The Palace. where they were cordially welcomed and refreshed. On the following Tuesday morning the Third Year Class appeared with their emblem on their breasts—two red carna¬ tions joined by a knot of gray ribbon. When roll-call came, up hopped No. I and stalking to the front of the assembly shouted lustily— Hokey! Pokey! Roxcy! Moxey!” etc. At the end of the first line she was followed by No. 2 doing the same thing, and so on, in a round, until the whole class was congregated in front of the rostrum. Then all together rang forth: Hokey! Pokey! Roxcy! Moxey! We’re the people smooth and foxy! Always ready, warm or cool! Third Year Class of the Normal School! • Then back to their seats marched the class in the opposite order from that in which they went up and closed by uniting in one more stirring yell. A most enjoyable evening was spent by the Third Year Class at “Tom Pinch, as guest of Miss Hoffman. I he entertainment and company were thoroly enjoyed and appreciated by the class and they are very grateful to Miss Hoffman for her kindness. Sophomore Class i.

It is true that the members are much younger than were the ■ J . L ° y f ° lbe car,ler te , ams ; but exception of last year’s basket-ball team, this year’s teams are. we think, superior to any that have come before them. lncrea ‘ n 8 efficiency of our men and teams is in a large part due to the efforts and skill of Prof., baunders. who has taken such valuable interest in our athletic work. Altho we did not have Prof. Saunders with us this year, the good that men do lives after them.’ and his principles and spirit instilled in the hearts and minds of last year’ ! players returning, has enabled them to carry on the work, not as successfully as they might have done had Prof. Saunders I been here, but in a way creditable to the school and to themselves. P Those who have contested for the school in the field, and those who have helped in the training and practice, deserve a he more credit since there are enrolled in the school only twenty boys, scarcely half of whom participated in practice. i I .k.

Our earns cannot win without the support of our friends and the student body, and tho this support has been gen- , era.ly good it shou d be better, the numbers should be larger, the enthusiasm more spirited. The players spend many hours 1 , ' l mL P ,CC . kfore the game, in which they put forth their utmost efforts for their school’s sake. Is it too much to ask that those on the side lines expend some energy, physical and vocal, for the same cause? vo,. k.v, e a 0 ! baske ‘ bal1 P la -ers was addr «f d b y another student, after a game, with this startling statement. “Well. nn b.,t,i hnn f T?

It is to be hoped that the next time the student mention this team that he will say. Our team. 46 Foot Ball To secure twelve football men out of a school of twenty boys is practically im sible. The hope for such a thing is worse than The dream of the dreamer who dre he was dreaming about a dream. However, as the Ellensburg High School is in much the same condition concern football as the Normal, it has been the custom to join forces when it comes to this bra of athletics. We, following the custom of our ancestors, have perfected an organiza with the E. H. S. Boys. But a new complication arose. We had no coach, great deal of trouble and worry, we secured the Rev. A. K. Smith, of Grace Church, kindly offered his services and, taking matters in hand, soon had a score of padded sters going thru the preliminaries of football practice. Davidson, F. T. Wilson, Prater, Delany and Catlin were old men. Prater, who is an end, did very well at half back. F. T. Wilson, captain, and Davidson, were the right men in the right places and many times saved their team, in a tight place, from an inglorious bust up. But, alas! in our first game we missed our faithful “Milk (for divers reasons)and with only one good ground-gainer we went down to defeat before the fast Sunnyside team. ITie return game at Sunnyside was not as pleasant as might have been and our stay in that fertile valley was as brief as a long ride in pitch darkness would permit. In that game we were handed some big ones, but thru our eloquence as well as our football prowess we succeeded in coming off in fairly good shape. Nearly all of us were able to walk. At Yakima, after playirg a fine, clean, fast, aggressive game and prac¬ tically winning it, by a series of miserable mistakes, we presented it to the City of North Yakima. It happened thus: Ellcnsburg started things by scor¬ ing in the first six minutes of play. Yakima scored and again Ellcnsburg advanced to Yakima ' s fifteen-yard line. Here they were held and Davidson scored a beautiful drop-kick. It was growing very dark when Yakima secured the ball on Ellensburg ' s twenty-yard line and slowly advanced it to her five yards.

When the time came for the inter-class game of the season the Senior-Third Year team left the Junior team in the distance, 8-4. Several attempts were made during the year to secure games with the University of Washington. Spokane, and Cheney, but they all played according to non-interference rules and we were also unable to get games with North Yakima. Seattle High School. Pullman, and Snohomish. But we do hope they will accept the opportunity next year. It was not until February 3rd that the Girls ' Basket-Ball team had an opportunity to show an outside team how to play ball. On that occasion Miss Grupe and a few others accompanied the team to Roslyn. where the game was played, ending with the score 6-0 in our favor I he line-up was: Forwards. Elsie Des Voigne and Jo Hodges, first half; Norma Macdonald, second half; center. Lydia keller; guards. Serita Howland (captain) and Flora Salladay (manager) This was the only outside game played this season, but in this one short trip we had sufficient interesting experience to make it a memorable one. We stopped halt a day in Cle Llum in order to attend a most interesting (?) teachers ' meeting, at which both Miss Grupe and Dr. Munson spoke. After recovering from that we rode up to Roslyn in the coach part of a coal-car. and when we arrived in that metropolis n ' t? i mC L he cap,al ? f Roslyn team and were soon surrounded by a mob of small Italians, who succeeded well in making our arrival known all over Roslvn. Thev advertised the game well, for nearly all Roslyn turned out to see it. The hall was so crowded that about one-third of the audience stood on the field of action. Action it surely was. for, judging from the gentleness exhibited by some players, they were more wls en h ° 7 10 f00t ' ba rU,CS lhan lo ,hosc ° f basket-ball.

A tennis club has been organized of over sixty members, and the courts promise to be filled during the delightful afte noons which the next three months have in store. Some of the enthusiasts even think that they will get up early in th morning to play while it is cool. This is a fine resolution and we hope that some at least may put it into practice. Altho nothing definite has been arranged we may have a tournament in which there will be sets for the faculty, cla sets, sets for all amateurs and for novices. Negotiations have been entered into for a track meet with the E. H. S. Team, and. if it is a success, we hope to arrang one with Y. H.

Usually each girl has charge of one meeting during the school year. Our first meeting was lead by Dr. Harris. Miss Thomas lead the Thanksgiving meeting; Prof. Wilson, the Christ¬ mas meeting, and in February Father Swcans gave us an interesting talk on Cardinal Newman. In the fall we were visited by Miss Kyle, the U. S. Secretary of the Y. W. work. She spoke in Assembly and at Y. W. C. A., and helped organize a Bible Study Class, besides personally helping the girls. The Bible Study Class has, we hope, become a permanent organization of the school. Tho its membership is not large, its privileges arc enjoyed by a few of the girls. They are at present studying the Book of St. John, with Rev. Mr. Hitchcock as the leader. This spring the school was visited by Miss Cage, State Secretary of the Y. W. work. A reception was given he; in the Normal Library Saturday evening. March twenty-fifth. Sunday afternoon she held a Bible Class at the Dormitory. Twenty-five girls were present and were very much interested in her talk on The Evolution of Prayer.” In the evening she gave an instructive lecture in the Presbyterian Church, on “The Missionary Work in Turkey,” speaking especially about the City of Marsavan. She spoke in assembly Monday morning and at the Y. W. C. A. in the afternoon, and her talks were very much enjoyed by all that heard her. The following day she visited individually with the girls and met with the various committees, outlining their work. Her delightful personality and genuine Christian spirit left an influence that will kindle much good. St. Cecilia, Present The cherubs all love St. Cecilia— Her sweet music charms every one; 1 hey bring her roses from heaven. And, in love-whispers, murmur. “Well done.” Do you know you’re a St. Cecilia, If you ' ll use the Power that’s near? For our lives can make such sweet music That the angels will stop to hear. Man’s praises—why should we e’er seek them? Better strive first and last to please God. And the things that he gives us to do Let us do to the glory of God! Every life has a purpose for being; Every life has a mission quite clear— For our lives should make such sweet music That the angels would stop to hear. If we will keep close to the Master, See the smile of love on His face: If we ask Him daily to be with us And give us l lis peace and grace; If we truly love all God ' s children, Great and small, both far and near— Then our lives will make such sweet music That the angels will stop to hear.

Crescent Literary 3 [otes HE Crescent Literary Society began work this year with even greater enthusiasm than it has been shown heretofore M an rapidly increased its membership to over five times its original number. I j 1 he Round I ables have departed somewhat from the plan of work followed in former years, in that the subjects chosen at the beginning of the year have been pursued throughout; with one exception, a change of subject not being made at the end of the quarters, as was formerly done. The work of the entire Society has been very good, some of the Private Programs having put to shame Publics of former years. Of these two were given by Round 1 able No. 4, one of which was entirely original, being a dramatization of 1 olstoi s home life; the other a presentation of I om Sawyer; and two by Round Table No. I, one of which was on Dr. Schliemann’s excavations in Troy; the other a comedy entitled Mr. Bob. The first public program was given by Round Table No. I on the Odyssey. It was very instructive as well as enter¬ taining, showing a great amount of thot and work on the part of the members. The main features of the evening were the reading by Miss Buzzell and the music which Mrs. Niblett, Dr. Martin and Miss Stauffer kindly furnished. 1 lie second Public given by Round Table No. 2 on Current Events was also very pleasing, especially the cartoons by M iss Drummond, which she drew while giving the necessary explanations. The last program up to date was given by Round I able No. 3 on two American poets. Van Dyke and Field. At this program the Normal Orchestra appeared for the first time, and the audience’s appreciation of it was shown by the hearty applause it received. Miss Beals reading. The Other Wise Man, by Van Dyke, added greatly to the success of the program. The other numbers which stood out prominently were a reading by Miss Jones and a paper by Miss West. S i t Eclectic Literary Society HE Eclectic Litera ry Society of the W. S. N. S. has grown steadily from year to year and is now in a flourishing M a, H prosperous condition. The aim of this socieiy is to encourage and give expression to the literary tastes of the I J students. It consists this year of sixty-six members, equally divided as to membership and ability into two sections, A and B. They have pursued different courses of study in their section meetings, held every two weeks. Section B. under the leadership of Miss Maude Liddell, gave the first public procram of the year, an outgrowth of section study on Hallowe en. During the first quarter. Section A, under the leadership of Miss Bertha Eidson. studied Russia, hrom the study on this subject a Public was given, consisting of cartoons represented in tableaux form on the! principal events and close of the Russo-Japanese war. 1 he second subject studied by Section B was Italy, under the leadership of Miss Vera Roberts. It resulted in a very good Public on the art, literature and music of Florence, illustrated with stereoptican views. Following this Public. Section A. in charge of Miss hay Lasterday, gave a very interesting program on birds. In addition to the publics, various private meet¬ ings were given on Shakespeare, Lincoln, current events, February men. London, etc. At the end of the school year the two societies unite in a grand joint program. ' This year we have the unusual good fortune of securing Mr. H. L. Southwick as speaker of the evening. at Orchestra © The school. HE Normal Orchestra was organized at the beginning of the year and is the first organization of its kind in the school. Under the direction of Mr. Ellis Ridel it has done ex cellent work. The first public appearance was made at a program given by the Crescent Literary Society. Since that time it has played at various programs. The members are energetic and industrious and, altho some of them sing in assembly with their mouths closed, they make up for this deficiency in the manipulation of their respective instruments, orchestra owes its success to Mr. Ridel, and his efforts are thoroly appreciated by the members and the entire 61 SPS Good night!

My First Experience as a Cook h ' ' as a ver y I 8 ot a nolion into my head that I would like to teach mother and Biddie. our hired girl, how to cook: but for some reason or other they didn ' t seem to think I was capable of doing any- thing of the sort, and Biddie wouldn t even let me stick my nose inside the kitchen door, especially when she was making cakes, cookies and pies, let alone showing her how I wanted things done. Biddie s cokics never tasted just right to me, altho I could make away with about a dozen every meal, and her cakes always left a funny feeling in my stomach after I had eaten a half of one. m y opportunity came at last. My mother wasn’t feeling very well one day. so she sent Biddie to town, which was halt a mile off. to get some medicine. Now was my chance—Biddie gone and mother sick upstairs, and, O joy! Biddie had two nice large pies all ready for the oven! “Now.- thot I to myself, “I will show Biddie how to bake pies; she never bakes them done and no wonder they always give me the stomach-ache. I’ll show her howto bake pies that won’t give any one the stomach-ache. If Biddie would have to take castor oil once or twice, she would be perfectly willing to let me bake all of her pies, but mother never makes her take it.” So I filled the stove full of coal. and. after it got red hot, I put the pies in to bake. Then I looked around for some¬ thing else to do. I found the cream can full of nice cream all ready to be churned; so I went to the cellar, got the chum. l oured m the cream and started to chum. I he churn was one of these old-fashioned dasher churns, which has a lid with a hole in that you run the dasher thru; hut 1 couldn ' t find the lid. so I decided to churn without it. I was just getting along fine when all at once I raised the dasher loo high and out splashed some cream on Biddic s clean floor. I didn t have time to clean it up. as I couldn ' t let the cream stand, so I ran out and got my little black kitten to clean it up for me. Cf course the kitten was a good hand at such work and soon had it all cleaned up. I guess he must have enjoyed the cream very much, or at least I think he did. for when 1 looked around to see if the house was on fire,—the kitchen was so full of smoke,—the kitten jumped up on the side of the chum and fell into the cream. I ran into the bathroom, turned on the water, went back, got the kitten out of the cream, threw him into the bath-tub head first, shut the door, and started in to churning again. I would give the kitten his bath after he had soaked a while, and I had finished my churning. All at once it dawned upon me that the smoke which was filling the room smelled like Biddie s pies. I rushed to the stove, upsetting the chum, and, as the srr.oke cleared away, I could see two black looking objects which once upon a time had been pics. On the floor the cream was running in all directions, from the bathroom came the cries of a drowning cat. and in the door stood Biddie as big as a mountain and as vicious as a lion. I don’t care much about telling you what happened next, but I will tell you one thing more: That was my first and last attempt to cook. J AN ScitNEBLY— ' II. L Ye Winds of the Kittitas!

But the people, in the hope of their lives, denied that they wore burthens.

She was studying very industriously, trying to keep away that lonesome feeling which often comes, when she was suddenly aroused by a great commotion in the yard. Then someone stumbled up onto the front porch, striking the door as he came, but, as there was no knocking and the noise still continued, she began to think the man must be insane or intoxicated. He finally started around the house, and, by the way he walked, it was easily determined that he was dragging something which Nellie at once decided must be a corpse. After stumbling over a wheel, and a great deal of other trouble, he finally reached the side door and rapped. Nellie, who by this time was becoming quite frightened, started for the door, but before she reached it this man began talking to himself. At this she became very excited and made a wild dash for her room; once inside she securely bolted the door and picked up the water pitcher with which to defend herself. Then, fearing that she might be seen thru the window- blind. she turned the light out. This was no sooner done than she began to hear strange noises around the window and made up her mind he was coming in that way, so on came the light again. After watching closely for a few minutes and seeing no signs of him. she sat down on the bed to await developments, l inally he started away, when from the back porch came the most hideous sounds (apparently from the corpse), which frightened her more than ever. I don ' t know what would have happened then had not some of us returned. When we came in Nellie came rushing out to meet us. as pale as a ghost, begging us to look on the back porch and see what was making such hideous sounds, all the while telling us of her narrow escape. Being greatly surprised and somewhat disturbed, we went to investigate. On opening the back door—you ask what we saw—a sack of potatoes leaning innocently against the side of the house! When we informed Nellie of our discovery, she said: Oh, I wasn’t frightened, I just kept my head fine!” We all wondered why, when she had her door securely locked and her implements of warfare collected. Next day we found that a small man had brought the potatoes in a wheelbarrow, which was too large to go thru the gate; so the potatoes had to be dragged in, thus causing so much noise. So the mystery was explained—all but that of the strange noises, which we laid to her imagination. But if you ever wish to gel even with Nellie, just ask her about the sack of potatoes! A NOT A RAVEN AS BEFORE. Once upon a school night dreary, I was sitting meek and teary. Struggling with belated lessons That I should have done before; I was startled by a creaking As of someone slyly sneaking. (My poor heart was set a-bcating). Sneaking toward my chamber door. Stealthily I ambled forward. Muttering, “I ' ll fix the coward.” Here the noise increased in volume. Growing louder than before. Now there came a plaintive bawling. As of someone sadly squalling; Thot I. Someone will be falling Soon, outside my study door. Glancing round I seized a dumb-bell, 1 (linking it would do the work well. And with all my courage oozing, 1 flung wide my study door. I could scarce believe my eye-sight! 1 here before me in the half-light, 1 discovered, ere they took flight.

His attention to literary studies was equally .rlrrii ' ' pT’ ° f L ,hc Ar,5lo,l ' ans wa 8 r catly increased aga ' nst him when he proved that all bodies fall with the same ' elccity. Perhaps h.s greatest discovery was the isochronism of the pendulum. When we conifer our chScks we rL ziE? x;f ;rvn W.th a result that was a, far-reaching as any of his discovSneT “Sly tcrea ' seS ' hbfS, ilT° G of the universe. He was, however, afraid to make this known, more on account of ridicule than of persecution. This shows a weak clement in his character, because he failed to support even his own ideas. While we cannot attribute to him the right of inventing the telescope, we can give him the honor of constructing his own without a copy, and he certainly used it to a good purpose. He subsequently became blind, but he had, without any question whatever, used his eyes to the best purpose of any man in his generation. Though blind, like Milton, who composed his greatest work after becoming blind. Galileo did not give up his study. He was not only a great man of science, but he also had a great influence upon the literature of the age. As he was a devoted student of Ariosto—the greatest Italian poet of the age—it was natural that he should transfer some of the poet ' s qualities to his own writings, and by so doing make them have a greater effect upon the people than they other¬ wise would have done. His writings are considered to be the greatest of the Italian writings; while his prose is considered to be the best Italy has ever produced. He represents a growing tendency of the age to break away from the old ideas and superstitions. In short, Galileo was the right man in the right place, and since he was such, he was in a position where he could display all his faculties in whatever direction his mind might incline. He made his works permanent by laying a strong foundation for them. Galileo said, “The world does move, and no one at the present day questions the truthfulness of the statement. The arts and sciences also have moved forward very greatly since his time, and though many discoveries have been made in all lines of thought, we can all say, like Newton: We seem to be children playing by the sea shore, picking up a pebble here and there, while the great undiscovered ocean of truth lies all around us. F. X. K. HIS SAD FATE. The start was soon made. And they ran down the road to the dike. Now, Jimmie was working like mad. And his puffing would nigh make you sad; While the Fox stepped along With a right jolly song; The way he wagged James was too bad. Of course, the Fox won in the race. Poor Jimmie waxed pale in the face; He soon passed away. But to this very day They talk of his run, in the place. His grave stone the towns folks all like.

Another young Scotchman named Knox, Wore a kilt with a beautiful box; But Knox was so thin That it didn’t fit him And the neighbors all called him the Fox. One beautiful day in the last of June, The Turtle was piping a tune As a-down the wide road He so gleefully strode. While the sun shone above at high noon.

Then I think some of my experience in that line might prove instructive to you, if you ever intend to do so. It’s all right if you have a room-mate like Jessie, and a landlady like Mrs. Z-, and know the peculiarities of “The Girls Across the Hall.” Even then some things will happen to unsettle you once in a while. Suppose, against your room-mate ' s advice, you try to carry a tub of suds down the crooked back stairs and you slip and land six steps below on the entry floor—and that tub of suds lands, too, drenching you and the freshly mopped entry! And looking up. you find, much to your discomfiture, the delivery boy and the girl who lives across the hall calmly waiting for you to let them pass! When you are expecting your father and mother and have set the sponge for Saturday ' s baking in a pan and placed it on a box back of the heating stove, would you like to come in. all in a rush, and catch your skirt in that pan and have it follow you half across the room, emptying its contents upon skirt, rug. and carpet? And don ' t you think you would call it fun, after saying you would not spend Sunday night at home, to dash upstairs, with the warning, “It ' s only I, and come face to face with one of “The Girls Across the Hall and—someone else? These are only a few of the things that are liable to happen and are almost too thrilling to be enjoyable. I advise you to try to split your kindling wood, if you intend to do it upstairs, before Mr. Z- goes to bed. as he does not like to be waked up any time between ten p. m. and two a. m. by Normal girls splitting wood over his head. You will remember these things when, after planning oyster soup for Sunday dinner, you carelessly pull the kettle too near the stove’s edge and in a twinkling your soup is spread at your feet with the kettle bottom side up in the midst of it. Nevertheless the experience you will have is worth more than ten years in a cooking school. Pearl Alsbury, ’ 10. 73 Students’ Day The Following Students Acting as Faculty.

Miss 1 homas responded to her call in a most charming manner. She read The Little Yallcr Dorg, accompanied by Mrs. Niblctt and the dog. Poor Miss Proudfoot, who prefers playing a sonata, sinking anthems or writing a volume, finally consented and related an interesting anecdote from her own experience. 1 he next three ladies were especially amiable and happy. Miss Wilcox demurely read an original story about “The Maple Tree. Owing to a lack of time. Miss Grupe said she would not talk on “Indian Baskets” that day, and Miss Jessie, after picking up her keys, found to her dismay that she had brought the wrong notes, and so postponed her talk on Schlicmann’s Excavations. We were very sorry. Dr. Harris, who is always introducing innovations, spoke by proxy. A dear little maiden from the Kindergarten re¬ cited a poem written for the occasion. “What is the use of fretting? Nobody should be sad. ’ 1 is Annual Students’ Morning, Everyone should be glad. We’ll have the Faculty Speeches, The music and the prayer. And the regular recitations In which you all may share. To Faculty as well as students We ' ll now unfold our plan And try to give instruction The very best we can. And while the lime is passing So happily away. Oh let us all remember That this is Students’ Day.” Prof. Morgan ' s illustrated advice on the evils of squinting was very much taken to heart, and Miss Beals created a great commotion by relating the A Sad Catastrophe.” According to Prof. Parks, the entrance to the lower regions is in Butte, Montana. He is very familiar with the place and its inhabitants himself, and described the workings there so pleasantly that we wouldn’t care at all if we should go to Butte or Hel-ena. The school wishes to take this opportunity of correcting a false impression that strangers may have gotten from Miss Hoffman ' s remarks. We wish to state that the slang uttered by her on that occasion was borrowed. It was merely a quotation from—well, we wouldn ' t say whom—and in the manuscript was bounded by the regulation marks. We noted, however, a very keen appreciation of her words. We almost regret to say that such language as haul off and lamm them in the slats seemed thoroly understood by the majority of the students. The music-loving audience were delighted by Mrs. Niblett’s clever exposition of the characteristics of the Italian com¬ positions. Mrs. N ' iblett interspersed her speech with piano selections. The last number, Goo-Goo Eyes, was en- thusiasticallv encored. Miss Steinbach, who has a keen sense of the fitness of things and time, rose and with a grandiloquent flourish exclaimed, “To all the speeches that have gone before—ditto!” M iss Harn and Mrs. Warner, who were seated among th? students, both had announcements to make. Miss Ham ex¬ pressed her love for this burg, and Mrs. Warner tip-toed daintily to the front and announced that the library would be open till five o ' clock. The morning exercises over, the students and various heads of departments repaired to their several class -s. A day’s earnest work was accomplished. Instruction was given and received with all due decorum, and so conscientiously was the work done, that when the (acuity met at 4 p. m., the following resolutions were passed: Resolved. That we, the members of the Student Day Faculty, are dead tired, and we are glad that such responsibility is not ours any longer, and that it is much better to study, than teach things we don ' t know; and. furthermore, that Stud- ents ' Day is a grand institution which should be perpetuated both as a day of grace for our instructors and a means of subtle and invaluable experience to the novices and to the school.” £. Q SPEECHES MADE IN ASSEMBLY BY THE FACULTY. It has been the custom since September for a member of the faculty to address the students in Assembly on Thursday mornings. These addresses have been interesting as well as very instructive, and their efforts have been highly appreciated by the students. Parks gave the first address, speaking on The Copper Mines of Butte. Montana, and giving an interesting de- scription of a mine as it appears to a casual observer. His second talk was on “The Reclamation of Arid Lands in the West. He pictured very clearly the plans of the great irrigation systems. Miss Steinbach created considerable merriment by reading a selection from The Madness of Philip.” by Josephine Dodge Daskam. Dr. Harris spoke by proxies, who were two entertaining little speakers from the training school. One spoke “The Cricket on the Hearth, and the other “Bur’ Fox. Miss Wilcox gave a very appetizing description of Maple Syrup Making in New York. Miss Grupe delivered a very interesting address on Manners and Customs. and also gave a special talk on the Life of President Harper. Miss Hoffman s address.

Mrs. Warner, the librarian, spoke on The Influence of Good Reading on Children. Miss Jessie Wilcox gave a very instructive talk on “The Life of John Hay.” Mrs. Niblett played three pieces of music, explaining each one. Her second appearance was by proxies, the Treble r ringing two selections, and Miss Loretta Salladay, a solo. Both were much enjoyed.

One lovely March morning, we students had the honor of really seeing with our mortal eyes the form and features of a live poet, brimming over with patriotism and devo¬ tion to his country; and hearing from the lips of the writer himself snatches from the first of our epic poems. Washington. in which our hero is made as heroic, and our scenery is made as picturesque, by our poet, Kdward Johnson hunk, as are the heroes of Greece and Rome by Homer and Virgil. As originality and uniqueness in a more or less marked degree are peculiar char- acteristics of poets, so our friend came to us, attired in a manner peculiar to himself. Our Assembly walls rang to the martial music of I ee-dum. Tee-dum, Tee-dum. Tee-dum. Tee-dum, and when he closed his speech by reading the last line of his poem, And Future Knows One Washington, ’ the students showed by their applause their great appreciation of both poet and poem, and that assembly will remain to each student thru life an important event of school days. MrTer-Jura-tee-dum ter-dum-tee dura Superintendents’ Addresses in Assembly - UPERINTENDENT STORY, of King County, favored the students of the school with the first of a series of lectures given by educators of the state for the benefit of those who are about to enter into the noble field of teaching. The title of Mr. Story’s address was, “What I Demand of a ' I eacher in My County. Below are M enumerated what he considers to be some of the essential qualifications of a good teacher. He would first ask: “What motive induces the teacher to work—money or desire to do good? Does she love pupils and is she there to help them? Has she the missionary spirit? Has she had training and does she understand the soil on which she is working? Has she made and is she making preparation? 1 he next points that he observes upon entering the school room are physical condition of teacher: ventilation in school room; industry on part of pupils: teacher s prep¬ aration for daily work; spirit of the school—how pupils work with teacher, and how teacher works with pupils; neatness of room—teacher ' s desk should be a model of neatness; room decoration. Mr. Story is especially desirous that the teacher should be a student, ever striving toward new attainments. She should study men and women; learn to meet, mingle with and influence people; should study human nature; and, lastly, should be reliable, punctual and temperate. He spoke very highly of the students of the Ellensburg Normal, asserting that altho he had had many graduates of this school as teachers in his county; he had not known one of these to be a failure. Mr. Jacobson, of Yakima County, delivered the second address. In it he urged those who are to undertake the work for which they are preparing themselves not to neglect the moral training of children, while drilling them in the common branches of study. His speech was well worked out and was based upon sound pedagogical principles. Mr. Bunker, Assistant Superintendent of the Seattle Schools, addressed the students in Assembly on April tenth. In this address Mr. Bunker presented to us some of the Chinese id.

J. A. H. C. M. Schwackhanner, who for six months and fifteen days had been a teacher in that land, where he says the temperature is 135 degrees in the shade. He informed us that: De school system down dar are dis: De girls and boys kept sep’rate, high board fence between, an’ a leather strap, loaded at bofe ends, awaits de trespasser.

He gave us several of his interesting experiences, but space forbids us to repeat them—to appreciate Mr. Schwack¬ hanner you should hear him for yourself. At a kindly suggestion from Prof. Wilson he closed his entertainment with a Spanish song, which he says (and truly, too, we think) would take an American six weeks to learn, and then there would be missing spaces. R. S. Third Year Literature Class Programs HE Third Year Literature Class during the past year has been studying Burns, Tennyson and Browning. At the completion of the study of each poet a program was given to the class. ■ 1 The first program was on Burns, given by Mr. James Ramsey, a native of Scotland, and Mrs. Niblett. J It consisted of readings from Bums’ works, “To a Louse,” “To a Mouse, and I am O ' Shanter’s Ride, by Mr. Ramsey, and My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose, and Flow Gently Sweet Afton,” by Mrs. Niblett. The second program, on Tennyson, was composed of readings from Tennyson by Miss Thomas— Lady Clara Vere de Vere. The Song of the Brook and “Crossing the Bar,” and a cantata by the Treble Clef, ’’ I he Lady of Shalott. The third program, on Browning, was as follows: A reading, “The Italian in England, Miss Beals; Chopin’s Nocturne, on the same theme as In a Gondola, by Browning, rendered by Mrs. Niblett; readings, My Last Dutchess and An Epilogue, by Miss Beals, and Spring Song, from “Pipa Passes.” by Miss Proudfoot. L. W. 79 Comedy Well Presented by the Juniors ‘She Stoops to Conquer.’ a comedy in five acts, given last Friday evening by the Juniors at the Normal was an ex¬ cellent performance and reflects great credit upon the school. Between acts a chorus of eighteen Junior girls dressed in white and wearing their adopted caps, sang several most pleasing songs, finally appearing in a Hunting Drill with bows and arrows. This production was the outgrowth of the work done by the class in interpretative reading under Miss Thomas ' able in¬ struction.” I his note appeared in one of the Ellensburg papers and refers to the following program given Friday.

The play as a whole was well rendered; all the characters were well chosen and performed their parts excellently. The customary formal compliments of the professional newspaper art critic, therefore, may be dispensed with and merely a few striking aspects of the play noted. . . Squire Hardcastle made a typical Hingli$hman, and with his charming Mrs. Hardcastle showed the true parental instinct in matrimonial intrigues. Miss Hardcastle “stooped very gracefully to conquer ' l oung Marlow, whose h rankness made him the victim of Tony Lumpkins, the vile villain of the play. Goldsmith, the author of the play, should have named it “She Stoops to Win,” for there is very little of the real conquering spirit in it. They play would doubtless have deserved its original title, and would have been perhaps truer to nature, had Miss Hardcastle been given the very usual task of conquering another woman instead of the tame one of winning a men. With such a plot the spectator would not be so forcibly reminded of the Deserted Village. (l May I Jo my efl lh honor of attending you? “Mi-NevilUt by all -� h.ppyl The trained art critic may not agree in this view of the play, but the student of anthropology should be considered as well. The ethnic results of two such cults as the Boston School of Oratory and the Agricultural College of Ames. Iowa, were strikingly exhibited. Of this character, it mu st be said, the real art was manifest; for. it is said, the highest art is that which reveals no art. There was that locomotor ataxia, that uni lateral hemiphlcgia. that facial anesthesia and reflex aphasia which nothing but the highest art could possibly imitate. , , , , .■ ■ , Next to Diggory. one of the bar maids in the tavern scene deserves special mention. In her case the professional alienist would have discovered all the stigmata of degeneration, aphasia and locomotor ataxia being exceeding prominent symptoms. Dr. J. P. M.

Ask the girls who were locked up on the roof whether it was cool enough up there, and when they arc going to wreak their vengeance on the wretches who perpetrated the dark and dastardly deed. We wonder if those upon whom St. Peter locks the golden gale with the words, Too Late,” will feel as the girls do when they are locked out of the dining room at 7:05 a. m. “OVER THE BANISTERS ” The uninitiated can have no idea of the delicious thrill caused by the ringing of visitors’ bell after 7:30 p. m., nor the excitement with which the air in the upper hall is charged, finding expression in frenzied whispers of, Who is it?” and “Who did he come to see? and “Can’t you peek?” That there is another side to this is only too well known to many a poor unfortunate wretch, who has innocently brought down up an his head the questioning glances from a dozen pairs of eyes over the banisters above. One of the questions sent to Aunt Mary ' s “Information for Innocent Ignoramuses reads as follows: V hy is the reception room usually occupied by no more than two, four or six on Sunday afternoons and evenings? When M rs. Arthur finds out who stuffed the table bells and put salt in the sugar bowls on April Fool’s Day, I here will be a hot time in the old town to-night. Our house presidents for this year have been Frances Smith, Jessie Neilson, Cecil Peterson and Gertrude Schoeraffe. Time: 8:30 p. m. on a school night. Place: Dormitory. A squelch bell breaks the peaceful, calm study hour. Thirty-nine pairs of lips simultaneously exclaim, “M-r-l-e H-n-y is on the rampage again! The jolliest affair just before Easter vacation was an informal party given us by Mrs. Arthur. At eight-thirty Tues¬ day evening. April tenth, we were called down stairs to the reception room, where a number of small tables with various card games awaited us. For an hour or so the night was made hideous by bursts of laughter. Then after doing ample justice to Mrs. Arthur ' s delicious feed,” we went up to bed like good little girls. Dorm Girl. DOWN STAIRS NOTES. We belong to the Dorm, tho we are in the lower regions.

X N THE center pigeon-hole of the lower shelf of the book rack at the right of the library door, will be found the exchanges from eighteen or twenty institutions of learning from our own state and neighboring states, as well as from some farther east. Some are very artistic; some not so artistic, but up-to-date publications; some are nicely gotten up but are spoiled by the use of poor paper. This fact is very noticeable in the case of the Normal Messenger from Bellingham; the cuts are spoiled by being printed on a poor quality of paper. The Tahoma. from the Tacoma High School, is probably the most frequently consulted of all the exchanges. It is of great interest to the Tacoma girls of the W. S. N. S. , . The Spring Number of the Acroano, from Miss Hake ' s School at Rochester, N. Y.. contains an excellent cut ol their basket-ball girls. , ... Purple and Gold, of Lewiston High School, had better change its name, as only two numbers of this year s publica¬ tion show any trace of purple or gold. Issue of January I 5 has scarlet cover with black letters. ... The Normal Messenger says, We have been on the lookout for the Outlook but thus far we have looked in vain. Keep on looking. Messenger; it’s coming next year: too busy with the year book this year. White and Gold, from the State Normal School at San Diego. Cal., is a very attractive paper. The Orange and Black, from the Spokane High School, is a good, up-to-date paper. March number contains an excellent story entitled Greater Love Hath No Man. January number contains a good description of the Senior Class Play, Mr. Bob.” The description and cuts were very interesting, especially to members of the Crescent Literary Society, who themselves presented the play here this year. The Pioneer’s cover design could be improved by throwing a few shovelfuls of earth around the roots of their trees. In Kittitas Valley, the trees would have blown over onto the school-house if not more securely anchored. n March number of the Normal Messenger contains an article entitled “Is the Normal the Place for a ' oung Man? which is especially interesting to the Normal boys. , The Christmas number of the Maroon says: “We wish to extend our sympathy to tne Senior Class of the Belling¬ ham State Normal School. The following tells of their luck: 9J Little we ask. for our wants are few. Our one great want is now well known— Just one very plain little boy will do, A boy we can call our own. Very singular, but our Senior Class has the same luck. FROM OTHER NORMALS Prof. E. I. Mathes, of the Bellingham State Normal School, has favored us with the following facts concerning hi school at the present time. The present school year has been one of the most pleasant and satisfactory in the history of the Bellingham State Normal School. l he enrollment exceeds that of last year, both in the training department and in the Normal School. The present Senior Class numbers forty-eight, while seventy young people claim allegiance to the Junior banner. The total number in all classes of the elementary courses exceeds two hundred. I he most important material improvements of the past year include the enlargement of the Normal dining hall, and the erection of a large greenhouse. The regular work of the school has been augmented by the organization of an economic club, and a dramatic society. Each is doing strong work. The Y oung Men’s Debating Club is also doing excellent work. The First National Bank of the City of Bellingham has offered two cash prizes to be contested for in declamation and debate. Much interest is centering in these contests. I he annual school picnic will be held this year at Glacier, near the foot-hills of Mount Baker. A special train of five coaches has been chartered for the occasion. The school year closes June seventh. Prof. E. D. Rissler of the State Normal School at Monmouth. Oregon, has favored us with a copy of the cata log of the State Normal and also of the Courier, the student paper published there. Prof. Swains of the Montana State Normal College at Dillon, Montana, also sent us a copy of their catalog. George H. Black of the Idaho State Normal School at Lewiston, Idaho, besides sending us a catalog of their school, furnished us some information. He writes: During the past year a new training school addition to the main building has been erected and equipped at a cost of $30,000. 1 his building has been occupied since Feb. 1st. A kinder¬ garten and a department of manual training will be established at the opening of next session. Miss Ingersoll, who ha been in California on leave of absence for one year, will return to take charge of the latter department. Miss Aurelia Henry, of the department of English, will return to resume her work in the department after an absence of one year for study in Europe. 1 he Lewiston State Normal is just closing its most successful year and its outlook for the future is unusually bright. Prof. J. F. Millspaugh. of the State Normal School at Los Angeles, California, has favored us with a catalog of the school. Owing to I rof. H. M. Shafer s attendance at the InlandEmpire Teacher’s Association, we were unable to obtain any news from the Normal School at Cheney. Their Exchange Editor was to have furnished us with some items, but (probably on account of lesson plans) she has not done so. and we must go to press without them. 94 It is feared that the Senior Gass will not have a class flower this year for commencement. The class is about evenly divided. Half of the girls want violets and the rest want orange blos¬ soms. If you want anything announced in Assembly, call on the Wilson twins. Bright Student (to Et-, who is noted for her frankness)—What will you do if you cannot be frank? E-.—I ' ll be as near frank as possible, you bet. Prof. W- (in Assembly after listening to a miserable roll-call) — Well, the Third Year Class is all in. Prof. M-.—If my answer was a great way olf from my forecast, I would conclude it was right. It has been seen by the blackboard in Room I 4 that the Plane Geometry Class has been studying hymogolous angles. Some of the more advanced classes would be glad to have a defini¬ tion for such an angle. Teacher (to little Training School boy)—But why do you say you don’t like your country? Little Boy—O. I do like it all right, but 1 like Se attle better. Everything in Commercial Geogra¬ phy explained in detail by Prof P-. Scholars do not sigh or yawn in Biology Gass. Dr. M- says he dislikes very much to hear such sounds.

Or it s well you don t enter the Normal door. When taking children out for a stroll along pleasant by-ways, be sure to have them well roped together. I rain up the children in the way they should go, and walk that way yourself occasionally. If you want to have a good atmos¬ phere for work, just go to the theater one night to hear such a play as The I ' ires of St. John ; get up in the morn¬ ing in time to swallow a few mouthfuls of breakfast after jumping into your togs; run all the way to assembly to hear such songs as, All for the Sake of Society, or “Tell Mother I ' ll Be There. 1 hen walk supremely into ' the school room. You 11 have your at¬ mosphere. Training School Don t stand before your children and say: Let s all fold our hands now and sit up straight. You are telling them something that you have no intention of doing. Avoid draughts in the school room by all means. Liquid, airy, illegal or legal ones. Do not allow the children to become too well acquainted with you. Lead them to believe that you are somebody whether you are or not. Always keep the hole where the ink well belongs empty so that the chil¬ dren may have some place to put pen¬ cil shavings and waste paper. Guard against the children ' s eating too much. A half a sweet potato, an orange and perhaps a banana are quite a sufficiency for a lunch. Lay not your hands (not feet) on training school children. It will hurt you worse than it will hurt them. I each your children to lie, for we were told in the Normal that lying is an art and should be taught in our public schools. Much more advice could be given: however, A word to the wise is suffi¬ cient.” too Harry S.
