He was a child then, a tender infant, and had at- -4 I uined to that stage of growth at which you met him only in weakness and by much anxious care and tender ML ] ove f rom those whose child he was. But a child grows in many ways during twelve months. His internal organs become strengthened to such a degree that he can take what a growing organism demands, solid food. His back gains strength and straightness; his teeth begin to make their appearance; and last but not least, especially if the child be a boy. does he acquire a change in outward appearance. He wears a different, a newer and a more substantial, dress than he was habited in at the beginning. So. dear friends, as his fond and affectionate foster parents, we wish to re-introduce to you this child, for such he still must be called, which for a year we have carefully dressed and fed. Master Kooltuo, a year older, we hope a year wiser, and a year more beautiful and interesting. Fond parents talk of nothing as enthusiastically and look at nothing as blindly, as their children; we may then be pardoned what, to the unsympathetic, may seem our pride in the growth and strength of our child ; and may be granted a lit¬ tle of your time while we point out to you the ways in which Kooltuo has perhaps outgrown the baby of a year ago. In the first place, the young gentleman is able to say with unalloyed pride that the tissue of his internal organs (called by the profane, paper) is of the best, of a very strong, smooth, beautiful texture and well able to receive and stow away the excellent ma¬ terial upon which he has been fed. Here we wish to thank the school as a whole for showing such a lively interest in our child, and for contributing, in its generosity, such quantities of food, from the daintiest delicacies to the most tickling and spiciest of appetizers. It is well that we had the opportunity of consulting such an able physician as Dr. Harris, else, much as we love the boy, he would, long ere this have suffered a sad and tearful decline. As it was, we had great difficulty in reducing some of the decoctions to their basic quantities; especially was this true of a number of very choice dishes gotten up by hit doting aunts and uncle, the Senior class. We finally decided that, since this is an age of great advancement, when matri¬ monial schools and reformed spelling run rampant, we would give him the food as his relatives had prepared it for him, only being careful diat he consume it in small quantities, and then only with our full permission. But to her, who so ably selected, arranged, and tested all his food, wt owe much and wish to express our most sincere thanks. All our teachers have been interested in the growth of this precocious infant, and for their interest we are very grateful, especially for that of Prin. Wilson, for his many inquiries and his continued thoughtfulness, for that of Prof. Morgan who helped us so successfully in our effort to make a living for our son, and for that of Miss Thomas who has so generously given us her time and thought to the same end. We say that Master Kooltuo is a prococious infant, for we see him this year with a perfect back, and while ordi¬ nary children are not able to stand at the end of little more than a year, we find this boy quite able to stand alone. Lest our readers may think they sec in any of his doings or sayings indications that he has used his teeth, let us say at once that, while our pride in the child may have led us to allow him to show them, it has been our intent throughout the year to teach him fit occasions for their use, and that such occasions do not occur at times like this. Last of all, we introduce our little friend to you in a new suit, and in our fondness we almost feel this is the very best of all. This suit is in the latest style for boys and is a perfect fit. It is made of most excellent material and quite changes the whole appearance of the little fellow who visited you last year. We might go on at length, for parents never lack subjects for conversation though they do some times seem to lack words to express their thoughts about their children. We commend this little man to you; we have worked hard for him; n we have spent sleepless hours thinking of him and his future; we have sacrificed many things, as parents must always do and arc glad to do. We love him well, and now that the time of parting has come, we forget all our past worry and care and tears and know only that he is about to pass from our charge. Imperfect parents and protectors as we are. we have done our best for him and we give him now to you. Farewell, dear child of ours. Much have you done for us. something may you do for others. Farewell. He is yours. Love him and cherish him that he may grow to man s estate. M R U C: Two Important Events. HE trustees have ta ken up the matter of the water supply for the lawn and hope this summer to have in opera- 771 lion a water system of their own which will give the much needed supply to the whole grounds. 1 he water I I is brought through a main from the town ditch (an irrigation ditch a few blocks north of the school) and the trustees feel that through this supply the lawns can be taken care of during the months when the city supply is inadequate to the demand upon it. Anderson Street, which runs south from the Normal entrance, was graded and parked last year, lire result was so gratifying that the property owners have decided to similarly improve Eighth Street, which runs east and west in front of the Normal. The work is progressing favorably, and although we arc treated to many discomforts now. we look forward to the time when this will be a fitting approach to the Normal grounds. ' The news of the passage of the appropriation bill by the Olympia Legislators was greeted with great dehghtbythe whole school. The bill appropriated $73,000. for the erection of new buildings, a training school building, cost and an outside heating plant to heat both buildings, cost $10 000. At this early date nothing definite has been planned® done, but the officers hope to have the new building ready for occupancy in the fall of 1908 The rooms � °w occupied by the training department, when vacated, will be utilized for the regular work of the school. It is hoped they will supply room for the enlargement of the library and the establishing of suitable offices for the teachers and officers of the school. Our school was honored on April 15. by a visit from Governor Mead and two members of the Board of Contra. Mr. Tones and Mr. Davis. This Board of Control, of which Mr. Piles of Seattle is chairman, was created by the last Leg¬ islature to construct the buildings of the several State Educational Institutions with the exception of the buildings for the State University. The Board brought with it Mr. Zittcl. an architect from Spokane, who is to make the plans and super¬ vise the construction of the buildings here and at the Cheney Normal School The Board instructed the Trustees to supply the architect with the necessary data, that he may prepare the plans. Furthermore they provided that, when the plans hav— been made in every way satisfactory to the trustees, they are to be sent to the Board for its approval. The gentlemen spoke to the students at two thirty, at which time they expressed their hearty interest in the Educaj tional Institutions of the state, and their realization of their value to the state I hey furthermore indicated their interest by their prompt action in beginning plans for the construction of the much needed new buildings. 3. rv. vv.

He gave a yell of pain, but not for a minute did he loosen his clutch on the board. The only consolation he had was to press down harder on the skunk. I rushed outside where I could laugh without hurting father’s feelings, and could inhale once more pure air. By this time my big brother Bill had become aroused by the extraordinary commotion, and came jumping across the lawn, clad in his pajamas, his gun in his hand, a pair of carpet slippers, several sizes too large, flapping on his feet and threatening to fly off at every leap. He came up to the door and told father to let drop the board and get out of the way so that he might shoot the skunk. But father was so afraid that Billy wouldn ' t hit the captive and that it would escape, that he would not listen, but bade my brother get a board or the ax and kill the thing. Returning with the ax, Billy thoughtlessly took the shortest way and rushed through the room where the chickens were. The terrified fowls, thinking this must be an attack of the enemy from the rear, flew, pell mell, into the front room, where Beth madly waved her arms about and shrieked. “Shew! Shew!” thus increasing the confusion. Poor father. I think, in those few minutes lost all the fatherly pride he had in us, and was thoroughly disgusted with us all. From the groans which he gave. I imagine he was getting the worst of it all around until the outraged chickens flew into the apple trees, where they continued loudly to voice their indignation. At last by means of much advancing and retreating, to avoid too close contact with the obnoxious animal, and by means of a liberal supply of blows, of which father received his share, Mr. Polecat’s troubles were at last ended. By this lime it was quite light. Beth and I entered to view the remains and, as father turned toward us, he made a ridiculous picture. Down one side of his face was a long bloody streak, inflicted by a passing hen. and the end of his nose was covered with dust. Nevertheless, with an air of veni, vidi. vici”(“I came, I saw, I conquered), he turned to pick up the mangled remains which were jammed against the wall near a hole. Imagine the consternation and chagrin which passed over his countenance when to his amazement both the hind legs of Mr. Polecat were found to be caught firmly in the jaws of a strong steel trap.

Washtuena was fearfully strong in the back field, and it was evident from the beginning that our line had gone to pieces. The team missed Mack, and Romeo was not filling his place. “Look at him. muttered the captain from the side line, “runs like a cow! Lets his - What! well done. Romeo!! Romeo had his Irish up, and was playing like a veteran when time was called. The first half was over. Neither side had scored, though it was evident that Washtuena had the be st of it. In the second half we kicked off to them, and they ran the ball back twenty yards before being downed. Five times in succession they made their yardage, amid a pandemonium of yells from their supporters. Finally we got the ball, only to lose it again. Washtuena was slowly but surely advancing towards our goal, when their quarters fumbled and lost the ball. “Now fellows,” said Captain Williams, “get in the game and wipe ’em off the earth! We did, and we had them going. Could we keep it up? We were setting a terrific pace. “They’re tiring! They’re tiring!” shouted the Washtuena rooters. “Their gains are almost nothing now! They can’t score! They can ' t! They can’t!” It was true we were tiring, and we were held for downs on the five-yard line. Time was almost up. Would we have time to score? Well, we could try. Washtucna’s quarter signaled for a punt. Romeo broke through the line and blocked the kick. The ball rolled behind the goal posts. A Washtuena player fell on it like a flash. It was too late. Before he could rise and throw himself back on the gridiron. Romeo was on him crushing him back to earth. That was a safety. It meant two points for us. Romeo had saved the day. He was a hero. Alas for Romeo and his new won glory, and alas for any glory that rests upon the probability of a girl keeping a secret. Murder will out, and that very night, at the dormitory dance which the girls gave in honor of the victory, the whole affair leaked out. One of the girls had also been a spectator of the little fire episode in which Romeo and Juliet had figured. She thought it was too good to keep and, getting some of us fellows into a corner, told us about the whole affair, not omitting I ony’s important part in it. Not till then did we know that it was really Tony who saved the day for us. Poor Romeo hasn’t heard the last of it yet. Some fellow ' with rare poetical ability composed the following parody commemorating the occasion, which we sing to the tune of Tammany: Ju-li-el, Ju-li-el. Come and Iran on my strong arm, I will shield you from all harm, Ju-li-el, Ju-li-el. Fire! Fire! Mold me higher. Ju-li-el. Ju-li-el! Every time we sing this little song, we think of Tony and how he saved the day for us. • Philip Davidson 17 Concerning Alaskan Localisms.

UPPOSING that you were required to answer the foregoing questions, which are chosen at random from a host of possibilities, what percentage do you think you would make? They would be considered quite smrple byl the average Alaskan twelve-year-old. with the possible exception of the last questionwhich contamssomct) pica mining terms. And these, although constantly used in Alaska, and therefore quite indispensable to a com Dlete Alaskan vocabulary, would be equally characteristic of any other region where quartz mining is earned on. Localisms aVe alway n.er t ng. since through them we get little birds-eye glimpses, or snap-shots, of the geographyj climateTinduMrierancS social conditions of a locality. Thy speech doth bewray thee applies no less to localities than to individuals . ngs Alaskan are ginning to occupy a very prominent place in the public eye. After a lon « ' P Y Winkle sleep of obscurity and misunderstanding, the country is waking to a day of well-deserved appreciation and develop ment. Yet it is not surprising that wrong ideas and wild notions of Alaska have so long existed, for the country is not only immense but heterogeneous. The one term Alaska covers an expanse measuring 2.000 miles from extreme north to exj trerne south 1.800 miles from east to west, and containing several distinct and widely differing regions—the ukon or utf lerior country; the Nome district; the “Westward” country; and astly. the panhandle portion, or .SoutheasternAlask. j Each of these regions has its own special characteristics and its own loca isms. And while there are many of these latte I- t, litu. tKr teamboat ioke are good all over Alaska,” one can readily see that a detailed treatment of the subject would bJ tJS pTeUn affak. bUyond .he scope of this little chechako sketch-the dizziest hope of which is to afford S the reader an opportunity of adding a new word or two to his vocabulary, and. incidentally, perhaps, to sl ™Wj along with them a germ of interest in the fascinating, but wonderfully misunderstood Alaska by no means all. of the current Alaska localisms, are of Indian origin. Such is the word muk-luk. which means s r of overshoe or boot, resembling a moccasin with a high top. and made of tanned deer hide moose skin, or more commonly, of the fur of the hair seal. Being waterproof and at the same time pliable it is commonly used for mushing over the trail, in preference to other kinds of footgear. The “parka” is an outer garment of fur or heavy cloth—a little like a coatj with or without a hood, and elaborate or simple according to the fancy of the owner. These, with fur mittens, snowshoes and a dog team usually figure in the equipment of the winter traveler in the far north. Be it understood, however, that this is is by no means the common mode of dress in Alaska. Alaskans dress precisely like other people. It is only in the extreme north and in extreme weather that furs are donned, and this garb is considered as much of a curiosity in other parts of Alaska as in the States” — which, by the way, is an Alaskan localism meaning that part of the United States not in¬ cluded in Alaska. The word husky means an Indian dog, as does also “malamute. The latter ter m hails from Eskimo-land, and more strictly speaking, the words refer to the strong, wolf-like Eskimo sled dogs. Chechako is an Indian expression meaning a new-comer — a tenderfoot,” to use a common western localism. The Alaskan opposite for ’chechako is “sour-dough, an elegant phrase borrowed from early days in California, and mean¬ ing old-timer. It refers to the popular and ingenious method of raising” bread by using a portion of sour dough instead of yeast, practiced by prospectors and others long removed from civilization’s helpful hand. The evolution from chechako to sourdough ’ is a gradual process, of variable length — and many and amusing arc the distinctions drawn between the two classes in different localities. Here in Southeastern Alaska, where steamers and mail steamers especially are events, in the largest sense of the word, they say that one has reached the sourdough stage when he knows all the steamer whistles, but never knows when they are due — thus implying that the “sourdough has lived in the country so long and become so thoroughly amalgamated that his tics and interests elsewhere have gradually vanished. The “chechako, on the other hand, always knows when a steamer is due — though the various whistles arc as Greek to him —and can always be detected by the feverish eagerness with which he awaits his mail — and also, as a rule, by the quantity of it, this latter being in an inverse ratio to the length of his stay. Cache and mush are transplanted French terms—“cache being in fact, a pure French word meaning a hiding place. So in the interior and other parts of Alaska, caches —little log hub or cabins safely perched up on stilts—are often built for the storing of surplus food or supplies during an owner’s absence. Mush” is corrupted from the French imperative form marchez, meaning march. I his expression is a great deal used throughout Alaska, broadly signifying “to travel. In managing dog teams, it is the signal for the start. It is related that in the restaurants at Nome, when a customer is asked what he wishes for breakfast, and replies loudly “mush.” all the dogs of the place get up and walk out. We cannot personally vouch for this, nor does our experience allow us to deny it. Mush sometimes means merely to walk. At Nome they go for a “mush over the tundra” where we would go for a stroll or for a constitutional, as the case might be. A musher is, of course, one who mushes.’ The tundra” is a flat, treeless waste frequently met with in extreme northern latitudes. To hit the trail” means up here “north of 53, to start, set out, or travel. “Placer” is by no means an exclusively Alaskan term, but it is typical of Alaska, nevertheless, since it was her rich gold deposits that first drew attention to the country. Placer mining and quartz mining arc the two methods of mining gold, employed according to the nature of the deposit. In the former, the gold-bearing rock has been decomposed and the particles washed down or deposited in “pay streaks.” the loose dirt being separated by such simple means as “washing” or sluicing.” In the latter, the gold is contained in veins or ledges of quartz, and the rock must be crushed in order to ob¬ tain it. A rocker,” or cradle, is just what the name implies, a boxlike contrivance on rockers, sometimes used for washing gold, but now considered rather antiquated on account of its slowness. I o grubstake means to furnish a prospector with the needful supplies while he is locating a claim. In cases of 19 1 pro! this sort, the grubstake law provides that the locator shall own half of the claim, while the remaining half is divided rata among the grubstakers. The skip-jack” and “creepers are essentially Alaskan. The “creeper is worn not—as one might reasonably suppose from the namc-K,n the knees, but on the shoes. It consists of a flat metal plate sole-shaped, provided on the lower surface with several spiky points, also with straps so that it can be adjusted over the shoe, and is invaluable for nav-j igating on slippery sidewalks during a “cold snap. The skip-jack” belongs in the class with sleds, skates and skees. It is simply a strong, well curved barrel stavi provided at convenient height with a seat by nailing a flat crosspiece to an upright, which is fastened so idly to the conca surface of the stave. On this, young Alaska seats himself and goes merrily skimming down a snowy hillside, or the s ippe bed of a frozen water course. A long line of children coasting on skip-jacks is one of the many odd. interesting sights wil which Alaska seems so prodigal. .... . , , j In the building of plots, the weaving of tales, we are told always to leave something to the imagination of the reader. Surely a similar rule may be applied in “coaching for examinations. May we not leave something to the interest and diligence of the student? Then we shall leave you question six. which a very short excursion to a geology or an encycL pedia will answer for you. Better still, treat yourself to a real excursion which is becoming very popular with tourists now adays.—a summer visit to Alaska. If on the way you can take in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Fair, which is to be hek in Seattle in 1909. so much the better. But do not stop there, for that would be like going to France to see Switzerland. Seattle is only Seattle, but Alaska—is Alaska. Someone—it sounds like Joaquin Miller, and he has been here and ought to know — has said: The Yosemite valley is beautiful. The Yellowstone Park is wonderful. The Canyon of the Colorado is colossal. But Alaska is all of these. At any rate, it is a land worth knowing, and a personal introduction, not only to Alaska localisms but to Alaskan scenery. Alaskan life, and Alaskan possibilities will be not only more accurate, but infinitely more interesting than a mere bowing acquaintance obtained by proxy. B Alice Henson Christoe Class of 1900 From Old Friends. T is always a pleasure to hear from old friends. It docs not necessarily follow, however, that when letters cease to come from people, they arc no long er friends. Especially is this true of people who are leading very busy lives, whose days are full of duty either in teaching, studying, or in some other occupation. We are very glad to print in our book this year a message from, or concerning, four very busy people — four people who are never¬ theless good friends of this school and of all her students. Miss Antoinette V. Bruce, former teacher of music in the Ellensburg State Normal School, has been in operatic work for the last three years in Europe. She made her first appearance in Bruges just a year ago, in four scenes from different operas, and was well received. Her maestro in Milano, however, advised Miss Bruce to study an¬ other year, which she did. Now he says her voice is for the big mezzo-soprano parts in the great operas, that he will get an en¬ gagement for her not as a debutante but as an artist. Miss Bruce sings in German, French and Italian now with scarcely any foreign accent. We heartily rejoice with Miss Bruce in her wonderful success. The Outlook” even with its overcoat buttoned wrong side before is much more imposing as an annual than it was as a monthly paper. I was much interested in the copy I received last year, and am glad to greet the students of the Normal, old and new, through its pages this year. To say that 1 have enjoyed my two years here would be expressing it mildly. The different nature of the work, the change in surroundings, and above all the contact with the men at Harvard has been very pleasant. At the same time I have felt somewhat as if I were away from home, and have looked forward with pleasure to next fall, when I expect to return and take up my work with you again. E. J.

From this great metropolis I send you best wishes for Mary A. Proudfoot si Dear W. S. N. S. Friends: I am glad of the opportunity, through the pages of the Kooltuo. of sending greetings to the students and alumni of the V. S. N. S.. and wishing them unbounded success in their school life and the more strenuous life whic o ows. 1 I am taking it for granted you will be interested in the Northwestern University, and will try to give you some idea of the school and my work here. . . , , . . The University is scattered over considerable territory. The Medical. Dental. Law and Pharmaceutical departments are located in Chicago, and for all practical purposes arc separate institutions. The College of Liberal rts. c oo o and Department of Theology are at Evanston, a suburb of Chicago. This suburb, a city of about twenty thousand, is situated twelve miles north of the business part of Chicago, and I connected by electric and steam cars. The city is probably one of the most cleanly and well kept cities m the country. wiH many beautiful homes and park-like grounds of Chicago’s most wealthy men. There is a provision in the charier of the Umve sity making it unlawful to sell intoxicating liquors, except for medicinal purposes, within four miles of the school. Consequent there is very little roughness or carousing seen on the streets at any time of the day or night. It is needless to add that saloo have exhibited a remarkable growth at the four-mile limit. . The campus itself is a delightful spot bordering on Lake Michigan. Its stately oaks give a country aspect which is very restful. Nearly all of the buildings which are used by the College of Liberal Arts and Department of Theology a on the campus, with the exception of the Music Hall and three dormitories for young women. The athletic grounds arc ne the campus and are well equipped for all the College sports. The large grand stand has a seating capacity of ten thousand A very interesting feature in connection with the University is the U. S. Life Saving Station with headquarters in small building on the shore of the lake. The station is manned by University students, and the equipment is similar to tha found in the usual Life Saving Station. A man is in the tower keeping a sharp lookout for vessels m distress, and the bead is patrolled for a distance of two miles each way. Although there are comparatively few wrecks, a great many lives havi been saved through the faithful work of the men. An association composed of alumni and friends of the University successfully conducts a social settlement on th. edge of the Polish quarter, and in the most densely populated district of Chicago. The object, like that of similar settle ments. is the social, intellectual and moral improvement of the neglected city population. At the same time it furnishes ai opportunity for a study of sociological problems, and for philanthropic work. The plan includes classes for instruction clubs, lectures, concerts, a reading room, and legal and medical dispensaries. My work in the University consists of Mineralogy, Assaying, and a new course in Metallurgy which Has been inaugur ated this semester. Next year I expect to give some work in Mining. I have been unusually busy this year because o 82 the pressing need for work on the mineral collection. There are between six and seven thousand specimens in the collection, and when I reached Evanston I found they had been moved to a different room during vacation. The chaos which reigned would be hard to imagine and it took some time to arrange the specimens in the exhibit cases and gather the study collection in the drawers ready for the use of the students. This, with the work of cataloguing and giving each mineral a permanent number and label has taken practically all of my spare hours. The work is nearly complete, and 1 am hoping soon to have the work in shape so I will be able to take more time for study and sec some of the interesting things to be seen in a city the size of Chicago.

About the first excitement after class organization was the selection of Class Teachers. This requ great tact, as the Juniors and Fourth Years were early in the field for the same purpose. However, we very fortunate, and succeeded in obtaining: Dr. Munson, Miss Grupe, Dr. Harris. Mrs. Warner, Miss Thomas, and Prof Parks as our “Faculty Members. When Prof. Parks left for Chicago and was succeeded by Dr. Bevis. it was arrange for the latter to take the place of the former in the Senior Class as a “Class Teacher.” Our “Coming Out exercises were not of such a boisterous nature as the Fourth Years’, but were in keeping with th dignity of the class. It consisted of: The class yell, accompanied by the bringing forth of the white lamb” and the o cow bell, Senior heirlooms, the presentation of class colors, in the form of bouquets of purple and white asters, to eac of the Class Teachers,” and an appropriate speech by our president. One of the many good things done by us this year was the beautifying of the Senior Room, number seventeen. Havii thoroughly cleaned the room early in the year, it was thought to be a good idea to purchase some suitable pictures whi might be left as a memento of our class. Accordingly, a beautiful picture of the “Doge’s Palace by Moonlight was select© and, after being framed, was hung on the cast wall. A framed photograph of ”Our Mascott, Baby Ruth.” was also add« to the collection of pictures in room seventeen. •Gov. Mead didn’t seem to fee! very sorry for them. — Editors.

Joanna Bishop, Dr. of Dancing In applying for a position as instructor in geology I deem it wise to give you a brie description of myself. My hair is like that of Pelee. My mouth like the crater of Kalauea while my language is like the lava flowing from it. My nose towers high in cold white sub limely like the crags of Mt. Stuart and my eyes have the brilliancy and tranquility of the mir ror lakes of California. My disposition is as smooth and rippling as a torrent mountai stream, while my knowledge of geology is as broad and productive as the desert of Sahara.

Loretta Salladay Hearing that you desire a thoroughly competent person at the head of your department of Domestic Science, I am confident that I am just the person you must have. For besides this Science being a gift bestowed upon me by Nature, I have spent years in attaining the highest degree of excellence, thinking naught of time and money. I have performed many dan¬ gerous and difficult experiments. I he outcome of one of my wonderful experiments is a receipt for kisses for which I have been offered $100,000 and I can make a light feathery egg omelet without burning it. I have a charming personality and a hopeful disposition. Hope Coy To all whom it may concern: I. the undersigned, have been spending many years in vigorous study and much research work on that exceedingly delightful and interesting subject, mathematics. At last I feel called upon to impart this superabundance (?) of knowledge to others. So. hearing that you are about to open the Twentieth Century Model School and need a Head of the Department of History of Mathematics, I am sure it is my duty to apply. Of course, references will be uncalled for when I tell you that I have attended the Morgan School of Mathematics for many years. If time, assidious study, and repeated effort be the only requisites for this worthy office I am confident of fulfilling the necessary qualifications. Edith B. Taylor To those who contemplate Great Things: Colemans Canon, Jan. 32, 1908. It gives me great pleasure to say that I will consider the position of Dictator of Fashions in your new ideal institution. I make a specialty of all fads and approve of a distinct and grotesque costume for each member of its faculty. It is my latest idea, after studying fads and faddists both here and at Muckilteo. that each individual should be so garbed as to be easily recognized at a mile s distance, this is the acme of jauntiness. For reception garb of gentle¬ men, for the coming season, I approve of light gray suits reaching to the boot tops, conven¬ tional white shirts generously decorated with black polka dots, red neckties and large rose sprays for buttoniere. Yours for dead swell style and conspicuity, Gertrude Cunningham, F. D. ( Fashion Devotee), D. D.

Every one urged to be pres¬ ent, as business of great importance will be transacted. Those who cannot attend let me know in person. C. W. G.. March 12, 1907.” notice, which was passed to the members of the Senior Class on the morning of March 12, caused no little I commotion. “What can it be for?” “Why is it so important? “Now I wonder what is going to happen?” Let s be sure and go. These were some of the questions heard concerning this all important meeting. N° w we know ,hat all class meetings, especially of the Senior Class, are important, but this emphatic call .. c a“ se d no little curiosity on the part of some members. I say some members, because a few, commonly known as the outsiders or those not residing at the dormitory, knew the why and wherefore of this meeting. Promptly (?) at eight o clock the class gathered around one of the tables, looking with expectant and wondering eyes toward the president. The meeting, as is the custom, was called to order, though quite unnecessarily, as a more orderly class was never known. Business of importance was well under way, when one of the members asked to be excused pleading hard work to be done at home, in fact, he said, he had made a great sacrifice to attend the meeting for a few moments— he was excused. In the course of half an hour a knock was heard at the door, the door opened and behold! the excused boy who had so much to do entered heavily laden with goodies, and yelled out Surprise! A happy birthday! Important business was at once forgotten and the class rose and sang the little kindergarten song “Happy Birthday to You,” for three of our noble Seniors had a birthday that day; their ages, did you say? well we don’t know— suppose you ask them. Three library tables were quickly spread, for we wanted the cocoa steaming hot and the devil and angel (food) were quite ready to fall as also were the rosy cheeked apples, but. say. wasn ' t that whipped creamcake just terribly good? The three little girls who had birthdays were conducted to their respective places, and how their eyes danced, for at each plate they beheld Just w-hat I’ve been wanting for a long time!” One began at once to shake a real noisy rattle, another unselfishly said we could bounce her gaily colored ball; the third was laughing over her cute little knife, fork and spoon. By this time all were seated at the table, with appetites quite becoming a Senior class. All cares, trials and tribu¬ lations were for the time forgotten. Neat and pleasing little speeches were made by the birthday girls and by several others, ihc most surprising part, however, was when one member, after the president’s speech, arose and modestly said, “I quite agree with my better half, so have no more to say.” Confusion reigned while congratulations were at once in order. May ey ive long and peacefully. After the goodies were gone (Grace couldn ' t even find another crumb) the birthday girl Were a 8am congratulated, cheers were given and the class adjourned having finished their very important meeting. (One of Them) i 33 c Valentine’s Day S HE doings of the Senior class may be characterized by their unusualness and their uniqueness. They are pre with their part whenever the opportunity offers. Listen! on a certain morning in the middle of February th Seniors assembled in their accustomed places trying to look as if nothing were going to happen; but. in spite o their efforts, each one looked like the little girl with her first secret I know something but 1 won’t tell. Th exercises of the morning went on as usual until the time came for the roll-call, then Senior number one, witho a moment’s warning or a word of apology to the rest of the school popped up and began rattling off a little rhyming verse quil appropriate to the day. She was hastily followed by number two as though fearing to be cut off by the faculty, and thq three came in with her drawling complaint: “Teachce, tcachee, all day teachec. Night markee papers, nervee creepee. No one kissec, no one hugee. Poor old maidee, no one lovee.” So on down the line with such rich gems of poetry, such heart-rending, soul-undoing, and awe-inspiring words as would wilt a heart of flint or provoke a smile on the wooden visage of a Totem pole. A very touching appeal came from number seven, who rose skyly and thus made his pica: “The ring is round. And so is the shilling. Whenever you’re ready I am willing. More examples would only too deeply stir the emotions, yet the feeling of the Senior class expressed in the following geo must not be omitted. It was addressed to the English professor and presented with a bottle of red ink. It means—but, ford to the n ise is sufficient. “Every little heart, you see. Has made a sacrifice for thee. Believe it was no easy thing To procure the offering I bring. Look within this little bottle. Drops of Senior blood are there: Don’t use it with extravagance As though you didn ' t care.” 54 Echoes from the Class Room The school days we have held so dear In the study of expression Are drawing to a close. Indeed we’ve learned a heap. It seems to us they’ve been too short; We come before an audience How swiftly old time goes! Our separate ways we soon must take. But we shall ne’er forget And give a talk complete. The underclassmen sit and gaze. And marvel when they hear— Those pleasant times at Normal here; “It is remarkable,” they say. Nor shall we e’er regret Could I but do it — dear!” The hours that we in classes spent The secret to the whole thing is, Though sometimes filled with fear. Simply our atmosphere. In English class we studied hard In one class I do remember On dramas very Greek, How we read from time to time. Of Aeschylos and Sophocles, Of the great men that remind us Euripedcs complete. We can make our lives sublime. We never shall forget the lime O, yes we’ve read a host of them— We wrote on Form and Theme. As much as forty-nine. This may have been an easy task. If we follow out their methods. Yet howsoe’er it seem. And don’t forget a rule. For many weeks those two small words I’m certain that we all shall have Haunted our every dream. Success in teaching school. We learned about society. We have had the opportunity. In the very strangest way. If but a little time. We found it was an organism To rule for once by kindness That grows from day to day. And test our tempers fine. How the women have developed We each have had the privilege. From homely things and plain. To be a shining light. To the airy little butterflies And help the little children Who drive the men insane. To do the thing that’s right. Who empty out their pocket books. And impart to them good knowledge And rule them with a cane. Carefully prepared by night. 35 We took a sort of exercise. Supposed to give us grace. Also a wondrous beauty To be seen in every face; To make the old grow young again. Their cheeks wear crimson hue. I heard it noised about one day— I wonder if it’s true — That we’d all look like real roses Everlasting bloomers too. We have pegged away a year at Art, It seems for quite a while; Yet we always do enjoy it— Art, you know, is not a trial. And all this time we have advanced Along the different lines, Such as crayon work or rafia But especially outlines. Which we have made with greatest care Using energy and time. Our history class we’ll ne’er forget. We found much pleasure there. In discussing many questions, In which each had a share. How do we happen to have it? What is it anyway? Why study it, what causes it? Give me the reasons, pray. On just such history questions We’ve talked from day to day. But of all these welcome echoes That come back to our cars, The one that comes most forcibly Is Congdon’s Pitch Pipe, dears. You cannot be without it once Be sure that each one hears— Be sure you know the way to use— Now listen most intently; You can’t afford to miss these words “Be sure to blow it gently.” 36 t Junior Glass CLASS OFFICERS President .

Truth, and Valor wandered there Obeying duty’s call, Each found its representatives.

And nurtured us in storm and calm And led us safely through. United like the Shamrock leaves Are we as you have seen, And loyal to our colors true. The pure white and the green.

As you pass from class to class room And your fellow students meet, All agree with one accord These Juniors can’t be beat. Oh, ye teachers of the Juniors, Oh, ye wisest of the land, How you’ve always helped us onward. How you’ve stretched a helping hand! As you wear our noble colors. As you don our green and white. You proclaim to all the nations, These Juniors are all right. Oh, ye deeds of all these Juniors, Oh, ye daring escapades. How you humbled the great Seniors, How their hat scheme you unlaid! Even so you beat the Fourth Years At their coming out you know. With your banner signifying The Juniors are not slow. Oh, ye Juniors true and loyal. Oh, ye class of Naughty Eight, How you’ve always worked together. How you ' ve honored every mate! As in the past so in the future!

Suddenly there ap- 1 peared beside me on the hearth the funniest old woman I ever saw. She sat down and drew from the folds of fi j| her shawl a book, then another and another, until she held in her hands nine volumes. Then turning to me she (r said in a hollow voice, Behold here, nine volumes which are of great interest to you. I will sell the whole num¬ ber for so much, and she named an extravagant sum. I refused to take the books, and she disappeared as mys¬ teriously as she had come. I had almost forgotten the occurrence, when several months later the same old woman came again. This time she had only six volumes; she had burned three. But she still asked the sum she had first named. Again, I refused and she left. Imagine my surprise, when, several months later, the old woman again appeared at my side. Only three volumes were left; three of the six having been burned and yet the price was still the same. I was overcome with curiosity and bought the remaining three. With eager fingers I opened a volume. The contents seemed to be but a copy of the personals from a daily newspaper, and I was about to close the book in disgust when a fimiliar name caught my eye. Mr. Frank Karrer, the noted Doctor of Metaphysics, has retired to the mountains of Colorado to study the action of the mind apart from human environment. Could it be possible that this same noted Doctor was once president of our Junior Class! The great sugar plantation in the Hawaiian Islands, which has been run so successfully for several years by five wonder¬ ful young ladies — the Misses Alma Ball, Leila Herr, Anna Plummer, Anna Wilson and Harriet Terry — is to be sold, owing to the marriage of each of the young ladies to Hawaiians of note. Miss Minnie Buzzell, the noted society queen, is now in England. Her marriage to the Duke of Stanford has not yet been announced but it is undoubtedly to take place. Miss Winifred Perry, who has been for many years the president of one of the largest eastern colleges, is making an extended tour through Europe. Miss Emma Currier is our next nominee for president of the United States and will be elected.” I read on. Miss Ethelyn Clark, after many years of study at home and abroad under the finest masters of music, has given up her vocation to become the wife of a Methodist minister. Her wonderful voice is a great addition to her husband ' s choir. Three of the ablest stump speakers of today on the question of ‘Woman’s Rights’ are the Misses Bertha Eidson, Alice tjuthric and Nanna Fleming.” I was surprised and delighted; with almost feverish haste I seized another volume and read. 1 he Junior class of ’07 has made an improvement on the old educational system.

Mr. William Chapman, the able speaker on the question of ‘Labor Unions, is having his voice treated by the emi- nent Philadelphia Doctor, Grover Spurling. Miss Nancy Horrocks has resigned the Presidency of Oxford College and is to be married to Admiral ‘D’ of Seattle, w ashington.

Where we came from. What our aim is, I should answer, I should tell you: Not from out the lakes of Northland. Or the land of the Ojibways, Or the land of the Dacotahs, We have come from the Yakimas, h rom the Kittitas fair valley, from the land of the great monarch, h rom the small towns, and the great towns. From the vales of Walla Walla. We are here to learn our lessons, — Not in fishing, hunting, playing. But by struggle and by labor I o become as mighty warriors In a world of chiefs and lawyers. We arc dwelling in the Midland Of the noble house of Normals: Next to us and toward the eastward Are the subdued tribe of Juniors: I o the westward are the Third Years. With these tribes we ' ve fought in battle; Deadly foes they were to us once; But we’ve smoked with them the peace-pipe. Once we sought to overthrow them — Noble Juniors to the eastward And the Third Years to the westward; And the Junior chieftain Karrer And the I hird Year chieftain Baker Called their tribes of men together. Called the warriors to their council. Down the halls and up the stairways Came their chiefs and came their warriors. And we met in brilliant war-gear In the corridors and hallways. Wildly glaring at each other. “We will slay those haughty Juniors And likewise those foes the Third Years And the other mischief makers!” This in anger came from Fourth Years. Fearing neither death nor danger. Battled we with vim and spirit; With our weapons we subdued them. Forced them back in easy triumph. Two of ours with nerve undaunted Snatched our grey and crimson colors From the rude grasp of our foemen. Off we bore our streaming banner. Up above we took our colors I o unfold them on the flag-staff. I hen at this the conflict ended. We as warriors quit the war-path. To agree with one another. I o, as brothers, live together. So we burned all our weapons. Washed the war paint from our faces; In the smoke that curled around us Vanished all our thirst for vengeance. All our wrangling and dissentions In the smoke wreaths of the peace-pipe.

Scarcely had the learned Seniors Reached the avenue of entrance. When a ghost so chill and real Grasped their hands and bade them enter: Up a steep incline it led them, Seniors, Faculty and others, O er the hasty rail-made fences. By the light of Jack o’ Lanterns, Paused to have the silence punctured By wind-filled bags’ untimely bursting. “Juniors, knights of pranks and revels, Cried they with their wan, blanched faces. Give us but a gleam of sunshine! Give us but the Gym to breathe in! Lest we fade away in silence.” But they gave no other answer Ilian the sight of flying witches, Than the grinning skulls and cross bones. And the black cat’s welcome silence. Hallowe’en!

Nothing was left undone that llt Cr T an a,mo,pl r e of ' e |com e or add a touch of quaint colonial beauty to halls, gymnasium or library. On entering the outer door our eyes first rested upon a tri-colored banner of “Welcome at the head of the stairs.

After dancing the stately minuet and old-time quadrille, we were allowed to indulge in modern round dances. Dainty refreshments of punch tea, and cake were served during the evening. Finally, at a late hour, we reluctantly left thc beautiful spectacle behind but carried with us a cherry from the old cherry tree and the pleasant memory of the Fourth Years’ Colonial Party. S HE reception of Prof, and Mrs. Wilson, given early in the school year to the faculty, was an unusually pleasant affair. Several members had been away for the summer, and a recital of their experiences was a feature of the evening. After refreshments were served, music on the violin, accompanied by the piano, was charmingly ren¬ dered by the Misses Florence and Lucile Wilson. Dr. and Mrs. Mahan entertained the ladies of the faculty at dinner in their cozy new home. After dinner was served, cards were played in the big living room. The faculty women appreciate the opportunity of spending an evening together under so hospitable a roof. The trustees and faculty were entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. F. Home and Mr. and Mrs. L. Palmer, before Thanksgiving vacation, at the home of the former. The large dining room was prettily decorated with carnations. The guests were served by the Misses Home and Hadley and Master Frank Palmer. Receptions are dull affairs when people try to look pleasant and truthfully say to the hostess, Oh, I had the loveliest time! But there will be exceptions to all rules as long as there are whims of women. This was made evident when the Senior Class so delightfully entertained the rest of the school at the dormitory. The doors were thrown open from eight to eleven, and guests were coming and going all the evening. The rooms were very artistically and tastefully decorated in ivy and wood ferns brought from the Sound. From the entrance of the lower hall, along the passageway to the dining room, was a pathway leading through trailing vines and ferns. At the head of the stairs was placed a large blooming marguerite, with pots of sword ferns on either side. Draped from the doors of the reception room, along the hall leading to the dining room, was a large fish net filled with sprays of ivy and fern leaves. Across one corner, this wall of green was caught up to form a little bower in which the orchestra charmed the ear with soft and mellow strains. In the reception room, Mrs. Arthur, Dr. Harris. Dr. Munson, Miss Thomas. Mrs. Warner, Dr. Bevis, Miss Grupe and the class president. Mr. Guibor, made all welcome and comfortable; while the Seniors passed among the guests shaking hands and escorting them to the refreshment room. Graceful sprays of ivy hung from the windows and chandeliers, and large bunches of white carnations and smilax were placed about the room. Again, in the refreshment room, were ferns, ivy and pink carnations. At the table. Mrs. Munson, Mrs. Bevis, Mrs. Wilson and Miss Hawks presided over the cake and coffee, assisted by Senior girls in the airiest, fairicst costumes, who served the pineapple ice. The guests on departing could truly say that they had spent a most delightful evening. On the frosty evening air of Feb. 21, 1907, were heard the gay voices of that jolly geography class which had assembled at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Bevis. After a hearty welcome, all were seated sin the parlor — “a wooden box and the arms of the Morris chair finished up the line nicely, and nobody thought of grumbling. The conversation of the evening was some wise and some otherwise. Mr. T. failed in a few instances to see the point of the jokes, but. as usual, no one forgot how to act, knowing they were out in society. In viewing the various guns, knives, and other camping utensils, we came across a puzzle matchbox that was solved by the brilliant Katie C. (we hope, Katie, when you come to solve a match it may be done as easily). Then we adjourned to the dining room, where all. comfortably seated on the floor, partook of delicious corn meal mush, sassafras tea and apples. A happier lot of youngsters you never did see. The evening passed all too rapidly, and we were soon forced to separate for our homes. 67 NAME Nellie Burke Winifred Hope Elhelyn Gertrude M. Gertrude R. Edith Margaret Sharkey Myrtle P.

At the beginning of the year the four Round Tables were united in such a way that one and four worked together and two and three. This plan gives greater strength to each Round Table, and many interesting private programs were the result. The first public program was given early in the year, before any particular subject had been studied; it showed excellent preparation, however, and was well given. The paper on Jacob Riis was especially interesting because of the expected coming of Mr. Riis; and the talk by the leader of the Round _I able, on The Value of Literary Societies, was suggestive of the hopes and possibilities of the school societies for the year. Ihe next program was given by Round Tables two and three and was the result of the study of “Les Miserables. This was a difficult subject to work up for a public program, but proved very entertaining. The work done during the quarter was utilized by members on the program, both in their choice and arrangement of Victor Hugo ' s story. The account of the little street gamin was presented with some sympathy and humor, and the resume of the novel, by the President of the Society, was helpful in giving a complete view of “Les Miserables and of Victor Hugo’s work as an author. The following is the program as given: Jean Val Jean ----- Miss Arntson Victor Hugo ------ Miss Pease Marius and his Grandfather - Miss Crockette Gavroche, The Street Gamin - Miss Pike Summary.W. H. Chapman I he second program given by Round Tables one and four was the outgrowth of a study of the Northwest. The pro¬ gram consisted of Indian legends. The last program of the year was given by Round Tables two and three as the result of the quarter’s study upon Japan, her literature, music, art and geographical surroundings. The Eclectic Literary Society ■ HE Eclectic Literary Society consists of sixty-eight members, equally divided into two sec¬ tions. A and B. The sections have studied different subjects in their weekly meetings, and these subjects have formed the bases for the public programs. The first of these programs was pre¬ sented by members of Section A. under the leadership of Lucile Wilson. The subject studied was the literature of Chivalry, and the program presented consisted of readings and tableaux from Tennyson’s Idylls of the King. Edith Taylor was elected by Section B as leader for the second quarter, and arranged a public program which grew out of the study of Pacific Coast authors. The second public program, presented by Section A. was in charge of Nancy Horrocks. During the previous six weeks the section had been studying the poetry of the Victorian Age. The result of this study was a program consisting of read¬ ings. some with musical accompaniments, from Browning. Tennyson and Arnold. In May, Section B, under the management of Richard Beal, gave the final public program of the year: Excavations in the Far East. Every alternate week the two sections have a joint meeting where, this year, in addition to the regular program and transaction of business pertaining to the society, a part of the time has been profitably spent in parliamentary drill under the direction of Dr. Bevis.

There has not been a coach in the school for the past two years, and Davidson and McManus were the only men left who had training under Mr. Saunders. ITie boys arranged to have F. T. Wilson coach them; but this was hardly adequate, as he could only arrange to be with them once a week, that time being an evening, when it was hard for the boys to be present. Notwithstanding these difficulties, a team of great possibilities, but of very little experience, was organized. The first game was arranged to be played with the Roslyn Athletic Club, i n Roslyn. As usual, the N. P. was not running on schedule time, and it would have been a matter of luck if the boys got to Roslyn at all. let alone in time to play. They met at the depot in the morning to await their fate:—empty stomachs, a slow ride, a long wait, a slower ride with emptier stomachs. Upon arriving in Roslyn at seven o ' clock, the boys were taken directly to the Athletic Club, where they would have a chance to rest before the game, which was called at nine o’clock. The first half ended in a score of 24 to 9 in favor of Roslyn. In the second half the Normal team got down to work and the game ended in a score of 34 to 16 in Roslyn’s favor. On the whole the W. S. N. S. kept the ball in their end of the hall as much as Roslyn, but could not land it as often. The team returned the following day, arriving at 1 :30 P. M. The second fray was an engagement with the clerks of Ellensburg. The clerks put up a strong game, but the Normal team came out victorious. A date was made with Pullman for a game to be played at Ellensburg January I 7. All preparations were made for it, but two days before the date a telegram was received to the effect that Pullman could not keep her appointment. Roslyn was substituted and this proved to be the closest contest of the season. Our boys played a good, clean, scientific game and although Roslyn used no science, they employed such means as pulling, holding and pushing, to win. The Normal had the best of it until just a minute before time was called, when Roslyn ' s forward made two baskets in quick succession, winning the game with a score of I 3 to 12. The last game of the season was played with the Ellensburg High School. The H. S. proved their knowledge of the game, succeeding in carrying the ball across the hall by dribbling. The H. S. boys were large, especially the guards, and when one of them happened to fall on Chapman or Hent jn, it was hard to tell whether or not anything would be left of them. The score was W. S. N. S., 48, to E. H. S., I 8. 7 � Girls’ Basket Ball ASKET ball among the girls has not been as popular this year as formerly, probably owing to the fact that it was decided at the beginni ng of the season to play non interference rules. A team was organized and prac- TJhJ ticed regularly all the first semester, playing no public games. At the beginning of the second semester, the Seniors challenged the school to a game and this aroused some enthusiasm as the challenge was accepted by the regulars, the Juniors and the Fourth Years. They played the Fourth Year and the regular teams only. Both games resulted in a defeat for the Seniors. In the game with the regular team the score was I 7 to 2 and in that with the Fourth Years it was 5 to 0. Only a part of the latter game was played as two Seniors and one Fourth Year were injured in the first half. The regular team, of the V. V. V. Girls, as they call themselves, then tried for a game with the Juniors, but no suitable time could be arranged for both. Our first outside game was played February 26 against the North Yakima High School. The line-up was: For¬ wards_Mabel Simmons (captain) and Margaret Power: center. Lilian Anderson (manager): side center. Rose Lewis; guards, Anna Clerf and Minnie Noble. Owing to the lateness of the trains the visiting team did not arrive till 7:45 and the game did not commence till 9 P. M. or after. The home team had the advantage as the visiting team was not accus¬ tomed to playing under girls’ rules, and seemed to fear the possibilities of fouls. They only scored two points, making no baskets from the field, while the score for the W. S. N. S. was 22. 81 IIb8 J bS L bI ! aiamiT blO A H, J S ' , ‘ IUb bbH 8E ,° 86 Vjf 9X 1 ® ,A bnB ov ]o w � iarmoW bio ad. 1 0 UOIHU33 H A nX, oH H, ‘ sno bnE ““■“nnro lannoU adl J B .2 .H amidaY dhoU adl dliw ano .ndtagoi e , mfi8 nHndV ,n9f l! 08 , J ,° , ) ' ,9bl0 ni . bnB fi3 X ov 1 to! lodjajjol naad bad ,yod ad. ami. mw iHT 3.6.2 ad. „i Inabufs . ,„bj bxoR .bi.II.fl Zl ra0,i 7“ b E -loO lsiaiammoD bnaldsA lo InabuM B .no. 8 ni 8 b3 byol ' I yd abam BW vsmuoi Znol 10 J nnq .boow.A yaln B .2 .aiadl kl °— b “ “ ” • • - i- ™.«a, 1 . .b,s lrLr : 3 Jrlgim .ylnuoD lo «no layol aw modw lo ll E .nayalq ad. lo daaa lo ,aai.a ll B d .adead ad. lo dalaJ. land A j a , -aiad labio ni ad MS r s rsatrJsSL- i tf: rsiK. - ® °«I “ isay jidl bna m B a. ad. no yli B |u 8 a!

Playing then the game as we learned it at school, we won in three memorable contests. 0 The first game occurred on Saturday the 22nd. As previous nights and days “ s P ent attending school “functions or in the cars, our condition was not excellent. We played against the remnant the Normal team, with accommodation officers, and before an audience of small boys and relatives. Official score: 31 ' 30. 00 The following Wednesday we met the Yakima High School. We were in good condition then and eager for the fray. The Yakima boys played a beautiful game, and considering circumstances, did remarkably well. They made five points —one basket by a clever one-hand shot from the center of the field. But we made a few more. For full particulars, how¬ ever. consult the Evening Localizer of January 3rd. From a practical standp° ' nt th s game was ideal. While we had the incentive to keep the ball off the floor upon which the sprightly Yakimas were running about, we also had the privilege of tossing it to one another over their heads. 000 The third game was fought out in Roslyn. The delightful schedule upon which the trains ran all winter brought the morning train with us aboard to Cle Elum after 7:30 P. M. There “what ou wondering eyes should appear but a three-seated sleigh with two prancing black steeds. For twenty minutes we enjoyed a beautiful sleigh ride, moonlight and inspiring — but only masculine. Within an hour fur and feathers were flying. As °. ' . y° re ra “° e hooted, jeered and insulted us. Man to man we pushed, held, kicked, shoved and blocked. But Roslyn misjudged us. Diough not yet men we were not mere boys as of three years ago, and our opponents found their betters! 1 0 our credit, however, let Uus be said. Give and take as it was, we were twice struck with fists and once mercilessly elbowed, yet we did not precipitate a free-for-all one-sided mix-up. The first half ended 10-0 in our favor — a score only once before equalled in Roslyn. The second half finished 7-7. making us winners 17-7. We believe that our playing suggested cool-heads and some knowledge of team work. We know on the other hand that Roslyns’ showed star work; individual, breath-taking plays breath-taking because they all hit us. But, ah! the afterwards. The band of old Normalites shining in that dark country took us up to the rooms of one of their number. There they stuffed us with edibles, flash-lighted us all bunched up in a corner, and sang and talked us hoarse and husky. ' Tis at such times one knows the joy of living. From I A- M. to 7:30 we slept. Then we went to Cle Elum to await the pleasure of the N. P. Ry. Co. At noon we separated, not without regrets either. But next year watch the papers! We are going to get together again and not only Ellensburg and .j 05 n J car a , a ut rom Seattle to Frisco we are planning to carry to new and greater victories the grand old yell of our dear Alma Mater. 84 Rogues’ 1.

There is a 4 | practical side to education. Important as these phases of education are. there is still another phase which cannot II be overlooked and which is equally as important as either of these. The ability and power to grasp and ap- predate the meaning of things heard and seen is by no means a small attainment; it characterizes an educated person and stamps him as belonging to a class separate and apart from the illiterate. Obviously, therefore, we can develop this phase of education to the maximum only by hearing and seeing the best possible. Last year there was inaugurated in our school a lecture course, and the results gained therefrom were so gratifying that it was deemed advisable to provide for a similar course this year. I his was done and the course obtained, taken as a whole was somewhat better than the course for last year. Owing to our location we have been able to secure such talent as ordinarily is in the reach of larger cities only. Each number of the course was given by men and women who have attained national reputation. Our School Lecture Committee is certainly to be congratulated upon having obtairfed such a good course. , , „ __ The Lulu Tyler Gates Company—a parly of four—was the first in the course and appeared October 18. Ihe com¬ pany was greeted by a large and appreciative audience. Mrs. Gates, the leading member of the company, by her charming personality, rich voice and the enthusiasm displayed, captivated her audience and consequently her readings were much enjoyed. The other members of the troupe— Miss Edith Adams, cellist; Mr. Graham Smith, basso contante. and Mr. WiU-1 iam Snyder, pianist—showed themselves to be artists in their particular lines. The second number in the course was a musical entertainment given December 4 by the Earnest Gamble Concert Party. This company of three artists gave us something most charming and delightful in the way of musical selections. 1 he vocal selections by Mr. Gamble, the violin selections by Miss Verna Leone Page and the piano selections by Mr. Sam Umberson demonstrated that each performer is an artist and that neither one could be omitted without marring the most delighltul effects of the entertainment as a whole. This number was one of high quality and met with the approval of everyone Pf M The next number was the lecture by Mr. Jacob Riis. January 21. The subject of this lecture was “The Battle With the Slums. The lecture was well illustrated by many stcreoplican views which were made from photographs taken by the lecturer himself during his twenty-five years’ service as police reporter in the city of New York. Mr. Kill is a philosopher and a person of no little philanthropic desires. Among those who were most closely awoewted with him in his work in bettering the filthy and overcrowded tenement districts of New York City he mentioned President Roosevelt then Chief of Police, and Street Commissioner. Mr. Waring. The views shown showed the condition of certain tenement districts before and after these men had taken steps to rid these place of filth and overcrowding. 1 he lecture was very nterestm« from start to finish, owing, no doubt, to the fact that the lecturer was back of. and in the midst of all these reforms. Mr. Kus seemed to put his whole soul into his lecture and consequently held the attention of his listeners without diminution for two hours- . . , , The fourth entertainment was that given by Rogers and Grilley on February 4. I his was a very unique and de¬ lightful entertainment and was well attended by both students and town people. The selections played on the harp by Mr. Rogers were wonderful, while Mr. Grilley ' s choice readings, interspersed with original humor, never failed to receive the hearty applause of the audience. As Messrs. Rogers and Grilley are in constant demand in the larger cities and in the leading educational institutions, we were very fortunate indeed in being able to secure an evening with them. On February 27, the fifth number—a lecture by Frank Dixon—was given. The subject of the lecture was “The Threat of Socialism. Mr. Dixon is an orator possessing great magnetic ability, wit, logic and eloquence. He gave every one present some good sound things to think about. On Friday evening, April 19, the sixth and final number on our lecture course was given. This lecture by Senator La Follette on Representative Government” was given in the Opera House and was, as every one can easily imagine, well attended. The Senator was introduced in a very fitting manner by Dr. Munson, who was his fellow classman at Madison. He was welcomed by hearty applause from the audience and by the Normal yell from the students. Every one present was anxious to hear the message the Senator had in store for each one, and consequently utter silence reigned throughout the house while he was speaking. Every one wished to hear every word spoken, and this was easily possible where the audience was so appreciative and the speaker possessed such a clear and well trained voice. Senator La Follette is able to speak as one of the best authorities on questions pertaining to governmental affairs, because he has had a very wide experience—been through the mill, so to speak — in dealing with them. He revealed to us many things and facts that were rather surprising, yet not one of them was of such a nature that it could not be verified. His lecture throughout appealed to the true conscience of every loyal American citizen. He spoke for three hours and held the attention of his audience unceasingly throughout the whole lecture and. even then, we would have been only too glad to listen to him another three hours. This alone is sufficient to show his ability as an orator, and as such Senator La Follette stands as one of the fore¬ most men in our country. The Kooltuo agrees with Dr. Munson that the Senator is an orator, a statesman, and a possible future President of the United States. It would also like to see the late Governor of Wisconsin occupy the Presidential chair, because he is a man who is fearless in the discharge of duty, and it is such men that arc needed to fill the high places in a nation. In the case of Senator La Follette we again see that good things come only in small packages. Although this lecture was to be given in our course last year, and could not owing to the late adjournment of Congress, it strengthened our course very materially this year and served as a fitting climax to the course as a whole. The lecture course which has been provided for 1907-08 can hardly be better than that of the past year, but it is hoped and expected that it may be fully as good. F. X.

Karrer Mr. Huss Robert Warner Students’ day this year was celebrated in the most exemplary manner. The regular order of the morning assembly was carried out—somewhat elaborately, to be sure—and the work throughout the whole day progressed in approximately the same way that it does on ordinary occasions. Quiet reigned in the library and business stalked” in the office. Miss Hoffman interviewed the culprits standing outside the doors of the training school rooms. Miss Wilcox smiled and assisted in the east corridor, as she ever does, and Miss Grupe added to her other manifold duties that of a little house cleaning. The Assembly period in the morning was prolific in truth, humor and good advice. Dr. Harris took her place with gentle dignity and downcast eyes. Dr. Munson marched in much as though on the track of some miscreant insect, while Miss Thomas, black gowned and blushing, soon found her place beside him. Other members of the faculty took their places in the usual order and with due decorum, or were conspicuous by their absence. Among the last was Miss Sabel- witz; she had not arrived at the ringing of the last bell and Principal Wilson called for Miss (Myrta) Clark to take her place. However, Miss Sabelwitz, with her hand satchel very much in evidence, appeared at that moment, hurried and happy, her blue bows bobbing and her radiant smile enveloping everything. Die devotional exercises completed, the announcements were read by the Principal, and the roll was called by Miss Wilcox, who seemed to have assumed her greatest height for the occasion. As the roll-call progressed the faculty began to assume the appearance of long suffering martyrs, for the time was drawing nigh when it would be up to them,” o and each member down in his or her throbbing breast had a few choice gems and weighty remarks of which it was both necessary and expedient to rid himself. The Principal began by reading a letter to the students. We were shocked to observe, however, that they were so much interested in a certain member of the faculty at his left hand that they scarcely gave him proper attention. Dr. Munson, reticent as he always is. was only persuaded by much applause to deliver his message. He decided to do this finally, and assured his listeners that he was not always hunting for bugs or worms when he walked out with measured steps and slow.” He sometimes thought about the students and the students ' characters. The students as a whole were highly gratified at this assertion, because with all their respect and awe of the learned doctor there mingles not a httle of the continual remembrance that he is a man devoted to the study of small things of this world and one who has even “looked at an egg for four years” as he himself stated on one occasion. That he should interest himself in that subtilty of all subtilbes a student’s character was indeed a revelation. Miss Thomas confided to the students the narrative of a very touching encounter with a strange and fascinating gentleman by the name of Brown. She met Mr. Brown when she was returning from Tacoma. Mr. Brown gave her a drink (of water, supposedly), sat beside her for some time and talked to her; but from the closing pathetic poem it was generally inferred that he did not propose. Miss Grupc, loaded with concise and simmered-down information as she always is. told the students in a few brief sentences about the trip she did not take. She also imparted some valuable information concerning New York City, to-wit: that this city is the largest in New York, the largest in America and the second largest in the world. The students were glad to hear in her last statement that she obtained her information from the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vols. II. V. and VII. Miss Hunt consented to speak briefly of the Art School in Roslyn where she was privileged to be a student for three years. She spoke of some of the doubtless national idiosynacracics of the Roslyn students of art. mentioning that the girls all carried Webster ' s Unabridged Dictionaries up their sleeves, and seemed to understand making them disappear up their sleeves with incredible alacrity. Miss Wilcox told the school about the City Hall and the two factions or parties which composed the members of the august body that sat therein. Her description of the chair of honor richly upholstered in brass headed tacks and holes was exceedingly interesting. The students were referred to the Evening Localizer of the preceding Wednesday for further information concerning the parties. Dr. Harris entertained the students with some stories. Our Beloved Lady quite forgot her usual scholarly dignity in relating some very ludicrous incidents of her visit in the Emerald Isle. Prof. Morgan, who evidently had been taking some trips across the River Styx, gave, among other interesting bits of news concerning the lower regions, a report of the weather at the time of his last visit. According to his remarks it was still pretty warm there. On the occasion of his last visit he heard a scrap of interesting conversation between Dr. Munson and Miss Thomas, who were deep in the subject of whether it is cultured to laugh aloud. Mr. Morgan had the sympathy of the whole school when he was overcome by an attack of stage fright, and he finished his speech rather abruptly by saying. “Well, this is the second time in my life that I have been stage struck. I suspect I had better let it go till another time.” The training school teachers were especially instructed by Miss Hoffman’s advice on teaching. Her suggestions, though not expressed pedagogically. were very well made. Some of them were. Don’t ventilate; don ' t keep order; don’t look at the children ' s papers; don’t prepare your material for teaching before the teaching period. Don’t fail to pinch 91 the children; don’t fail to slap them; and be sure to gain the ill-will of all of them. This last is essential. I assure you. Tire time was. of course, very limited and the speeches of some of the teachers were short. Miss Beals assured pleasure. Miss Meisner spoke entertainingly of her settlement work in the slums, in which she had all kinds of children, the students that she would have run away if Mr. Bevis would have gone with her. As it was, it was an unexpected She mentioned little Ruth Shewbridge as one in whom she was especially interested. Mr. Bevis assured his friends that he intended to soar, and urged them to hang on tight if they were going with him, for they might get dizzy. He then pro¬ ceeded to make them dizzy with some very interesting and comprehensive figures relative to distances from the earth to the various suns and planets. At the close of his remarks the students all felt that they had been traveling with the rapidity of greased lightning. Miss Sabelwitz, who had been modestly studying the tips of her dainty boots for some time, favored the school with a charming English lullaby: The Boy Was Chasing His Mother Around the Room. This was followed by a most feeling Irish melody. That the students appreciated these songs very much was evidenced by their hearty applause. Mrs. Warner had some announcements to make about the recent books and especially some classics which she thought the Senior class might publish and add to the library. She was followed by Miss Ham, attired in a sailor suit of modest blue serge, who made an announcement. Principal Wilson requested that Miss Sabelwitz repeat her last number, owing to the fact that the tender sentiment of the piece was much marred by the students ' applause. As Miss Sabelwitz finished, the bell for the second period sounded and the Principal, not wishing to run into the next hour of work, requested the students to go immediately to their respective class rooms.

Throughout the play she portrayed the coy. designing, but daring widow. Miss Nancy Horrocks as Constance, seemed to catch the full meaning of this finely drawn part, and to carry its sp.nt to the audience with strength and power. She was easy and natural, but unaffected. Mr. F. X. Karrer showed W.ld- rake to be an honest, upright, unselfish country gentleman. Uncouth in some ways he was ever earnest m h.s endeavor to please, especially the capricious Constance. The latter was fully alive to the poss.bdil.es for polish and accomplishments in Neighbor Wildrake. and at the same time very much in love with his sterling qualities. Mr. Karrer portrayed in Wildrake an earnestness, a strength and determination most real. In contrast to the capricious Constance is the quiet, unassuming Lydia. Miss Margaret Shipler made this character a true, modest and wholly lovable one. She resulted in a steadfast way the advances of her wavering lover and sacrificed her own happiness for honor and duty. Mr. Philip David¬ son as Waller. Lydia ' s lover, met this honest maid with a persistance and determination most worthy. Lydia and Waller were both finely interpreted, giving an excellent tone to. and holding a splendid atmosphere throughout, the evening. Miss Minnie Buzzell as Trueworth surely deserved this title. The nobility of character, the true courage, the affection for her sister. Lydia, the holding of self above petty accusations, were all clearly and forcibly brought out in Miss Buzzell s hne interpretation of Ttueworth. Stanley Wilson as Neville.

The comedy is one of the bat of modern plays—displaying much of the beauty and power of our early dramatists, without a particle of gross ness. I he plays, as a whole, were well given. Miss Thomas showed excellent judgment in the assignments and the casts did credit to Miss Thomas and themselva in their presentation. 94 if flSS FRANKIE FARNHAM, ’96. is teaching this year in Black Diamond.

Poage. on August 24. 1906. Miss Of “.t, 0 d ,t am M W w m ' °- C f ackw °°f i of Spokane, and Miss Minerva Getz—now Mrs. Lee Barnes, Ellensburg. Of the others Miss Wilson is teaching in the public schools in this city. Mr. Oscar McBride is County Superintendent of wefLl N, ir ‘ Nl C u’ M ,T h T£ L Pain Cr and Fau , ls are ' eachin «- in Walla Walla. In Tacoma we find Nellie Nelson, Mildred Burwell and Esther Russ all teachers. Mrs. Baker is at home this year. 1905. J he class of 1903 has. with possibly four exceptions, remained in the profession of teaching. W. L. McClure is a student at the State University 01 M ' SS h married liv ' n8 “ 0hio and Wm ' Q- Osborne is at present a 1904. The president of this class. Miss Eloise Kingston, is in New York City, where she has been for two years devoting her time to the study of music. Miss Kingston expects to return to Washington in May. and expresses herself as delighted a . e prospect of being in the West again. Ruby Campbell completes a course in the University in June. It is rumored hat she expect s to specal.ze m Domestic Science.” Olive Hooton is now Mrs. Sander of Seattle. Lida J. Olding is teaching this year ,n Alaska and Beatrice Robinson is at Walla Walla. Other members have either continued as teachers or have taken private pupils for life. 1905. Very little change has occurred since last year in the location of the ' 05s. Helen Hardy is teaching in the Pullman School this year and Victoria Du Vail has taken a position in the Seattle schools. There have been no other changes except matrimonial, which are always favorable. William Courtney Poage holds the same position as last year, but has taken an assistant in his home. Florence Merntt has added Stanton to her name and advises as each to take a school of one. Certain members of the class of a mathematical turn of mind (thanks to Prof. Morgan), have been working out the matrimonial problem of the class as a new form of arithmetical progression. One married the first year, two during the second year—and we ook forward to three the coming year. At this rate the year 1911 will find only one of the twenty- two members looking forward to continual single-blessedness. Which shall it be? I9°6. i When you enter the profession of teaching there are many things that demand your attention. Now you use. for the benefit of the less experienced, the knowledge previously gained. Just here come in some of the joys of teaching. When you are placed before forty little urchins all bubbling over with curiosity and animation, eagerly drinking in all teacher may say or do. you are unconsciously put upon a pedestal as an ideal. As a result you begin a dreadful self examination wherein you determine to eliminate your bad qualities and to develop those which are good. Perhaps this is the reason teache rs become more charming as time progresses. Perhaps too this is the reason, as once stated at the Normal, that one s life as a teacher is limited to two and one-half years. Who knows? Not alone as teachers but also as men and women are we happy to give to the world something good in return for having lived in it. For the world is so full of a number ot things that 1 think we should all be as happy as kings.” So says Alma Bishop the president of ' 06. who is teaching this year at Pullman. Of this class Marion Maxwell. Seattle is teaching in the Seattle schools; Lucile Davis in Spokane; Martha D. Davis in Coeur d’Alene. Idaho; May HubbeU and Flora Mcdonald at Tacoma; Flora Salladay at Toppenish; Francis Smith at Port Townsend, and Jennie Uiley in Ellensburg. During the past year Misses Maxwell. Macdonald and Hubbell visited in Ellensburg. 97 There was an old Doctor who slept in a tent; Heard his gate squeak, knew not what it meant. So took up his gun from beneath his head And to scare the maruaders, shot under the bed. They scampered about but not out of hearing. Though the Doctor shoots bear, yet him they ' re not fearing. On the still air of night fell the old Normal yell; Thus a sweet band of Juniors sa¬ luted him well. Prof. B- suggests that the Jun¬ ior girls may take their wedding tours in a flying machine.

Why are so many of the students so interested in Astronomy — (star gaz¬ ing) ? too A LAST WORD EFORE closing this, the second school annual, a few remarks to our readers, our friends and all who by their fJluC kind assistance have made it possible for us to publish the KCOLTUO for 1907, are in order. To accomplish any great undertaking and to meet fitly any great responsibility, a class, like any other group of individuals, or better, like an individual, must first become conscious of its dignity and its energy. In view of this, the Class of ' 08 has tried under very trying circumstances to meet fitly this great responsibility (for such it truly is) of publishing a school Year Book. We have made an earnest endeavor to do the best that could be done under the circumstances. We hope and would ask, therefore, that our readers in judging this, the product of our labors, will bear in mind that to accomplish perfect results, in such an undertaking as this, one must be an artist, have perfect materials with which to work, have ideal conditions under which to work and. above all, must have the undivided financial and literary support and the good-will of the student body. We feel sure if our readers will bear these things in mind they will be somewhat lenient in their criticisms. However, we are quite willing to take just criticisms, for we realize that such criticisms are essential to our improvement and advance¬ ment. All must admit, however, that the Kooltuo for 1907 will ever stand as a monument to the Class of ' 08 testifying to its perserverance and stick-to-it-ive-ncss. To you who have been hit we extend our deepest sympathy, and. if it were not for the fact that we believe in treating all alike, we would gladly have given your blow to someone else. As it is, however, you should find consolation in the fact that you arc not the only ones, and that there must be something about you that singles you out from the rest, other¬ wise you would not be used as a target. To you upon whom it falls to publish our next school annual we extend our encouragement and suggest that you profit both from our successes and from the criticisms we have received. We have set a mark, it is for you to set it higher. We extend our thanks to all who have aided in any way the publication of this manual. Your efforts have all been greatly appreciated. Finally, we would suggest that our readers patronize all those, who by their advertisements, have aided us in a financial way. They will be pleased to serve you as ably as they have served us.
