What hours of labor, heartache, joy, Have gone into its pages. Who shall say But others who like tasks have done. And so we ask the sympathy Of all of you And know that you will kindly greet Our Kooltuo. o,br formal O UR school is located at Ellenshurg, the metropolis of the fertile Kittitas val¬ ley. It is in the most attractive residence portion of the city, with an eleva¬ tion of 1570 feet above sea level, and commanding an extensive view of the sur¬ rounding country. The grounds consist of six and a quarter acres, with three up- to-date buildings on them; the central building. Normal proper, and the heating plant being on the south block and the training school on the north block. flic grounds are kept in the most | erfect manner and in the spring and fall terms, the beautiful rows of trees, the lieds of fragrant flowers, and the large spaces of green give a most charming and inviting appearance. We have gardens, two tennis courts, am! a field for the practice of out of door sports. The climate is invigorating, healthful and ideal for the life of a student. In the distance may be seen the lofty Cascades, whose foot hills are cut by many picturesque canyons whose rugged walls are witnesses to many student merry makings. As in the life of any growing organism, certain events show life and growth. In the history of this school the three most prominent events are: the coming into exist¬ ence of our school by act of legislation March 8th, 1890; the burbling and equipping of the central building in 1893; the building of the training school in 1908. The first date marks the good intention of the state, the second the wherewithal to make a good school, and the third a successful growth. The commodious new training school stands out as furnishing the latest necessary factor in the development of the Normal school. The purpose of our school is to educate and train teachers for their work. To fulfill this purpose two things are necessary, proper instruction and a place to put such instruction into practice. We have both. In a small school unlike a large one each student comes to know all members of the faculty personally. I think this must lie especially true in our school, and that the students not only get the learning they desire hut come to love and respect all. The central building is furnished with an assembly hall, class rooms, physical and chemical laboratories, art and music studios, a library, gymnasium,, offices, all furnished with the l est to be had. The training school is modern in every particular. There are ten grades of tin- training school, and the kindergarten department. This work is under excellent supervision and it is indeed a great pleasure to teach there. Our principal first entered upon his duties in our school in 189X. He came from live Normal School of Providence, Rhode Island. We look upon him with pride and love. With pride because we see the results of his excellent work as an educator, and because we know him to be considered by those people engaged in similar work in our state, as one of their liest. With love because lie has the welfare of every indi¬ vidual student truly at heart, because we feel that we can go to him as a true friend and receive the right kind of encouragement. Few who read this lxiok will fail to recognize the name of our vice-principal, Professor J. H. Morgan. The fact that those who have been under his influence never forget him and always are anxious to grasp his baud in friendship, is the liest testimony we can furnish of the place he holds in the lives of all of us.

( 22 ) Hbr Smutty of tbr JJrnituhmt T H K next era will mark the most wonderful advancement in invention that the world has ever known or hoped for. so vast will the advance he that we can now have scarcely any conception of its scope. Thomas A. Kdison predicts that towns and cities will he built that will make Turners pictures of ancient Home and Carthage pale into nothingness; the locomotive will pass out of use. and all our railroads will l e operated l v electricity; a new fertilizer containing a large per cent of nitrogen will l e drawn from the air by electricity, and will wonderfully in¬ crease the arabilitv of our lands; there will lie a successful aerial navigation with a practical working basis; a greater realization of our coal supplies so that ninety per cent of the efficiency will not be thrown away as it is today; and, finally, all machinery, which is today only ten per cent perfect, will lie tremendously improved so that articles of luxury will be produced in enormous numtiers at such small cost, that all classes will lie able to enjoy the benefits of them. Because of Mr. Kdison ' s wonderful accomplishments we are forced to believe what he predicts, and expect the next era to bring forth advantages that will make those of today seem as nothing. I.et us glance at the progress in the United States during three periods, the first from the founding of our government to the close of the civil war; the second from the period immediately following the civil war up to the present time; the third the era following the present. In the first per, ' ] our people were iust beginning the attack on chaos; just beginning to build what we see today—a government, one in speech, character, and idea. Work was diversified, man was engaged in obtaining the personal necessities of life, in supplying the immediate needs of his country, he was everything in one from a blacksmith to a senator, hence the investigations along scientific lines were scattered, some here, some there, with no great concentration, and the inventions came almost by accident in many cases. They call for more genius, however, than those following, because they were the beginning, they sprang from so much less. The second period marks the settling of our foreign relations, peace with our¬ selves and the turning of all efforts and energies to the unravelling of the mysteries of our three million square miles. The inventions were perfected in one way, then another, then another, until the results were amazing, all the world was startled at what it saw. Steam began to dot ouf waters with vessels, railroads began to make our hills echo the advance of man. they stretched their arms further and furlher into the wilderness, they scattered people over our productive regions, who in their (24) turn set the wheels of industry moving, until all was one great buzz in the line of whirling advance. Science was turned everywhere to the effecting of a great com¬ mercial nation. We had no war of 1812, no Civil War. to turn the thoughts of our people from the material, to arouse their patriotism and high ideals, all was the material in every line or path of life. We do not hear a voice denouncing the maxim of worldly wisdom, which bids men “(Jet all they can and keep all they get. We do not hear Renjamin Franklin saying. I am old and good for nothing, hut as the storekeepers say of their remnants of cloth. I am hut a fag end and you may have me for what you please.” We do not hear a proud John Adams say to his wife. “I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your ruin and the ruin of our children.” Nor do we hear the voice of a Roliert Morris saving. The United States may command all 1 have except my integrity.” Or a Samuel Adams, impoverished, living on a pittance, hardly able to provide a decent coat for his hack, rejecting with scorn the offer of a profitable office, wealth, a title even, to win him from his allegiance to the cause of America. No. this kind of a man is not prominent, hut in the third period, which as far as commerce and science are concerned, will lie a continuation and perfecting to the present, he will reappear. t ur public men are a result of the thoughts, conditions and ideals of the people. As a result of the great wave of commercialism that has swept over our country, tve find our statesmen thinking, working, legislating, always from a commercial stand¬ point. and as a natural consequence the almighty dollar lias become the supreme force. Public life means a full grasp of the laws of our country, of the material and economic welfare of the people, these qualifications t eing the important ones, and the deeper finer qualities, that go to make up the truer statesman lieittg of a smaller force. The result is that public men act not because they think something is right hut because it affects their immediate prosperity in some way. I do not wish to |xause with the criminal public man. the one who exploits uthers to add to his own vast fortune, he has always existed and always will. Nor is it my purpose to praise the great exceptions, those beautiful characters that our country has reared, whose very names make us thrill with admiration, who have won the affection and allegiance of their nation F-verv country has them to boast of, Kngland lias her Gladstone; France her Mirahcau; Germany her Bismarck: Greece her Pericles; and we, second to none, our Lincoln. It is. then, neither the criminal public man nor the ideal public man of whom l wish to speak, hut the representative public man. e have seen the swing of the pendulum towards commercialism. 1 hope we may see why this was and why our statesmen became commercialized, if wc do see ( 25 ) this our voices will be low in condemning them. In the national congress for the past several years, a few staunch, strong, wonderful men have been in complete power, men who know the condition of the country, and the wants of the people, but who are conservative, with an inclination to run matters to suit themselves. This inclination comes as a result of their force, ability, and efficiency in doing big jobs. While giving these men due honor and respect, let us see if we can mark the differ¬ ence between them and the new man. There is a difference, a great difference, which in the course of our government is bringing and will bring untold results. The new man acknowledges moral obligations as the supreme force, lie acknowledges them as binding not only in relation to fellow-countrymen but in rela¬ tion to all mankind. This difference is becoming more evident every day. and wc may say it will be the supreme characteristic of the rising statesman. The pendulum has lieen started on its ltackward movement. The emphasis on integrity at the expense of executive ability will force it to its limit, and then it will swing again to the center. Italanced on one side by ability in all affairs of our government and life, and on the other side by that deeper sense of moral obligation to mankind. How do we know this? Why liecause we see evidence of it at every turn, we see the people of Minnesota clinging to a man who stands for the right, a man whom many people delight to compare with Lincoln, not only in his long lank form and dropping shoulders, but in tile way he has overcome circumstances and embraced opportunities as they arose, serving as errand boy, grocery clerk, country editor, plow¬ ing and plodding his way from the very gutter to the governorship—and who knows to what in the future. It was Governor Johnson who began investigations in Minnesota that would aid in protecting the people from the powerful corporate interests. He labored particularly to safeguard insurance, and so caused a similar safeguarding in many other states. We have seen the great state of New York slowly coming to the realization that all was not as it seemed, that there was untold opportunity for corruption. This was dawning on them, yet it took a great man to bring the fuller light, and to carry the people even licvond their own desires. It took a man who could stand the pierc¬ ing search of the public eye. and who dared to sacrifice all for the force that is swinging the pendulum on its backward course. He has stood erect even against his personal friends, his legislature and all moneyed interests, and so great has been his influence that even his immediate successors will have to lie men like him. the great Governor Hughes. We have lieen witnesses to tile best fight of the new man against the old. in the state of Iowa. Ill 1803, Allison, Garfield and Blaine each entered upon his service ( 26 ) in the House of Representatives. Since that time until his death Allison has been a member of Congress, since ’73 a member of the Senate: he has lieen Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations and Finance, has had more influence in shaping tile public expenditures than any other person, and has always lieen one of the few leaders in the forming of our laws. Vet we have seen this line old man—of wisdom, of experience, of power, grown gray in the service of the people—struggling and fighting in the last election to retain his place against the new spirit of statesmanship, leading the way in Governor Cummings; and Allison only carried the day, perhaps, liecause of his long service and desire to spend his last hours in his workshop. In the campaign of 1900 Joseph Folk said: Yes, 1 will accept the nomination for Circuit Judge, but if I am elected I will obey my oath of office. The bosses heeded not the remark. )ierhaps they thought the young lawyer was only trying to save appearances. How well he has olwyed his oatli of office, and lifted the people to a full consciousness of their needs, is clear in the minds of all of us. the world knows the story. As Governor he has kept his oath of office as truly, and through his efforts we find an anti-race track gambling law, a law making the operation of bucket shops a felony, a general state primary law. a law providing for the regula¬ tion of rates charged by public service corporations, a law providing for the removal of public officials who fail to do their duty, a two-ccnt passenger fare law, a factory inspection law, a child labor law and a pure food law. While these are only a few examples of what he has done, they serve to illustrate the broad scope of his work and to mark his deep interest in the moral welfare of the state. Indeed so numerous are his public sen-ices, that we are tempted to say of him as Macautev said of Bacon: Turn where you will the trophies of his mighty intellect are full in view; we are judging Manlius in sight of the capital.” Wisconsin has achieved a more perfect control of her own government than any other state in the union. What I have said of the other states we sec fully developed in U isconsin, and may say that as far as statesmanship is concerned, the present of Wisconsin is the future of America. If we want to know what the United States will he in its political organization in the coming era. we can find the fulfilled prophecy ready to our hand in the present political organization of this country. It ran justly claim to lie more nearly a representative democracy than any other state The state Legislature is superior in intelligence, independence and character, to any state Legislature. Each man does hLs own thinking and there arc scarcely half a dozen who take orders from anybody. It is truly a deliberative and representative body ' , and lobbyists say that it is the only 1-cgislature that takes up economic ques¬ tions on their merits, without regard to personal or party advantage. I cannot here ( 27 ) discuss the far-reaching laws enacted through Senator 1-aFollcttc’s efforts, it is sufficient that they are successful and that what he has done for one state can be done for all, it is only a matter of area. And this matter of area does not amount to much, since the same force is at work everywhere. 1 have given only a few examples of what we term the new man, there are many more in all sections of our commonwealth, men who feel with Chaucer, that “ Truth is the highest thing a man may keep, and who find their own life in the service of others. Since truth is to become the predominant force in public life, it must be and is the predominant force in all walks of life. In commerce, the abuses and privileges of the large corporations will soon he of the past: the action of nearly every Legislature upon the liquor question is of the same source; the wiping out of the graft in so many of our large cities is the result of men banded together, who feel more keenlv their duty of service to their fellow men. and who have the courage of their convictions. We who see and judge him as those may see and judge who are just taking up life’s work, admire and respect this new man. and feel that in answering Nature ' s call to work we can-fill our place and serve our fellows better if we have such men to inspire us to the letter things of life. He presses himself upon our notice most often perhaps, in puhiic life, hut we recognize this truth seeker, wherever we find him and hold him as the ideal of the new century. Newtox H exitin ' . ' 19. ( 28 ) %irniitm Shankaghmuj Qai| at inmtf T O me. Thanksgiving Day had always I wen associated with home and turkey. The first year 1 was away front home, the people I lived with planned to have a big partv on Thanksgiving. When asked to stay and share the work and pleasure of entertaining I said. “No. 1 can ' t. 1 have never been away from home in Thanksgiving, and this isn ' t going to be the first time.” This settlement was out in the country, where there were only a few girls hut any number of boys, and I knew 1 would greatly oblige the hostess by staying. Be¬ sides, 1 had taken quite a fancy to some of the young men and would Itave enjoyed the day. The more they urged me to stay, the more determined I was to go. The nearest railroad was eight miles away. The mail carrier, who was an obliging fellow, would take anyone who wished to ride with him. He started at seven. I was at the postoffice long hefore seven o’clock. The roads were very muddy this time of the year and. as lurk would have it. he took his one-seated rig. When he drove up I saw that he had already picked up one passenger, so my going with him was out of the question. There were smiles of satisfaction on everyone’s face when l went ! ack to the house. Now you may as well make up your mind to stay with us.” ”No, I ' ll go if 1 have to walk to the depot. No one offered to take me. so. 1 had a short walk before me. There was an old forsaken county road which made the distance to the railroad some two miles less, I decided to take this. If there is any one thing I am afraid of. it is that some day I will meet a wild cat. My friends knew this; and this morning, while I was waiting until time to start, it seemed as if they all wanted to air their experiences with wild cats. They told how one had l een seen crossing this old road the day before, how one had been shot the week before, and so on. ’The train left the station at two o ' clock. As I went out of the kitchen door about ten, I caught a glimpse of a turkey nicely brown¬ ing. As I went out uf the gate. I looked up the road and saw the party from town. They were laughing and singing—hut I was going home for Thanksgiving. The first part of the journey was up a long hill, called the Hill of Heaven. I never knew how the hill got its name, and this day 1 was quite out of patience with the name and the hill. A number of skid roads arc on top of this hill. The old county road had been used for a skid road for alniut half a mile. Any one acquainted with skid roads knows that they all look alike. 1 picked out the one I thought was the main one and followed it. After going about three-quarters of a mile it ended in (29) a pile of logs. A fine drizzle had set in, and I was so afraid I would miss mv train I ran nearly all the way lack to the landing. This time I was fortunate enough to pick out the right rise! and in a short while was on the gravel road again. 1 shall never forget that lonely walk. The trees had grown together overhead and a death¬ like silence prevailed. 1 didn ' t dare look l ack for fear I would see a wild cat fol¬ lowing me. Every time a leaf fell or a twig broke. I was sure a wild cat was creeping on me, and when a flock of grouse went whirring through the air I knew I was taken. I reached the station about I o ' clock. 1 have called it a station hut it was only a rough shed which served for a Ixaggage room and a ticket office. There was no stove and I was damp and cold, hut 1 did not mind that for I would soon he home 1 waited until two, and inquired at the office and found that the train was half an hour late. The half hour dragged on to a whole hour, one whole hour lengthened out into two, hut no train came pulling along. I began tu realize what a small break¬ fast I had eaten. At the little grocery store I bought ten cents worth of dried up stick candy and tried to eat it, and this was Thanksgiving l ay. When it l egan to grow dark I thought how I would enjoy a fire. One of the party from town had carried something that resembled a violin case. He was probably stringing it up now, and how I loved to dance! Hut still 1 waited. Some time near five the train came. It took alwut an hour to travel to the next station At this junction I expected to take an intcrurlnn. which would take me home in about twenty minutes. I figured it all out and found that I would get home just in time for supper. 1 always did like cold turkey best, so I did not mind missing my dinner so much. When we got to the junction 1 found the car had just left, and they only run every hour. 1 gave up hojies of being in time for supper, but then they knew tile part of the turkey 1 liked best and it would lie ready for me. It was seven thirty when I reached home and was greeted with, “Why, it got so late wc thought you weren ' t coming, so we ate the last bite of turkey. (1.

Mr. M. said in his talk yesterday that one essential of a successful teacher was cheerfulness, so I made up my mind to begin acquiring that happy faculty of smiling, whatever may betide. This morning I didn’t hear the breakfast hell, so 1 missed eggs—I never dreamed we would have eggs Thursday morning. if course I had to be cheerful about missing them, but I was not. Then when 1 got up to my first recitation I discovered I had lost my pencil and forgotten my note book. It was the first day in weeks that Miss V. had given us notes—I smiled and was cheerful and let the notes go. Then in assembly Mr. M. talked about ‘order.’ Cheerfulness simply over whelmed me and will you. who are a student of psychology, please explain why I should have an insane desire to laugh? No, you can ' t. Well, 1 did. Then lunch! The least 1 say alsiut lunch the better. “And now comes my Waterloo. The Society! I don ' t sec why they put me in as leader, anyway.

Of course I ' m leader and the whole thing ended by my having to take the whole responsibility. “At dinner the editor-in-chief asked me to hand in my material tunight. I was ready to tear my hair, but 1 smiled, and said I would. There was not a letter for me. Why doesn’t somebody write to me. 1 have not had a letter in two weeks. The girls wanted me to go to the show, but how could I, 1 am dead broke? (31) “We went duwn to get our pictures. They are frightful of me. I would not have one in the year book. “ When I came upstairs I made a list of what I had to do tonight. Isn ' t this just appalling? Item 1—copy notes for Miss Editor.

I ought to have finished that liasket tonight. “Just now while I was in Alice’s room, Irene came in and asked me for the start I promised the year book. I 1 legged to lie let off and she wouldn’t.

( 32 ) The Classes Senior ijistnni Four wars ago five little wild flowers found themselves in the far corner of a large garden. When the gardener took these flowers, gathered here and there from among the hills and valleys, into the garden, they were wild. During their stay in the garden, however, the gardener pruned and trained them. They learned what bugs and worms to shun, and often they were taken away up in one corner where they learned what colors were lies! suited for harmony. As a result they said to themselves. “YVc will have the big¬ gest. nicest lied in the garden, we will even lie harmonious in crimson and gray, and crimson carnation shall be our patron saint. Then down they went again to learn to bend their bodies in graceful curves. These little flowers soon discovered that the Itcds receiving the most attention were those where the brightest and most lieautiful flowers grew. One gardener took her scissors and gently nipped the liad words from the erratic flow¬ ers. Another whom they called Miss Psychology, urged the flowers to observe carefully the little buds that grew down in the nursery. One man counted their buds, stems, leaves and thorns each day and strove vainly to instil in their minds the psychology of number.” Then two other gardeners taught them aliout the soil, the atmosphere, ami how the stars effected their environment. Slowly these flowers grew more perfect, that they might lie placed in new pots and sent far away to pre pare other little wild flowers for the garden. Another year and more flowers were added. This year the lied was lieautiful in¬ deed. outshining all the others in brilliancy. It was the next year that the flower lied was prepares! for the final two years of culture. 1 he beginning of the last year brought big improvement. New flowers were added and reclassified, for now the plants had left the wild state and were cultured hot house plants. There was the Chrysanthemum (Sadie) who once was a meek little daisy. You would hardly recognize in the splendid Jacqueminot (Lucile) the ( 33 ) Crimson Rambler, that had been creeping over the fence into the garden for many years. Then there was the Bachelor’s button (Newton). He looked sadly out of place among these maiden flowers, but his long association in such flowry plots made him appear overbearingly at home. The little Sweet-pea (Edna) once the useless wild pea. nodded and smiled, rain or shine. The Nasturtium (Grace Mor¬ gan) only brightened the bed half a year. She was sent away at the end of the first semester in a secondary pot to the wild country, there to impart her culture to fourteen little weeds. Awav in one corner was a modest Violet (Grace Coy) who Bob-cd and Bobbed and Bobbed” her head. A Marigold i Mary) and Petunia (I.uella) added charm and color to the bed. The Marigold tried her best to grew tall so she could look over the fence at the Bleeding Hearts. Then there was Bounc¬ ing Betty (Alice) and Black-eyed-Susan (Ruth) transplanted from the south but thriving well in the Northern clime; Pansy (Mellicent) that ' s for thoughts; and the Wild Irish Rose (Gertrude) who turned out an American Beauty. Sweet Jasmine (Clara) and Marguerite (Margaret) who were from a rival bed, received a hearty welcome from the other flowers. There was the Peppermint (Minta) who played such pranks with the cottonwood l alls and was altogether indispensible as an aftcidinner mint, and the Yakima Apple blossom (Florence) who longed for more color in her general surroundings. Just t efore the flowers were ready for the final pruning and labeling, a Water Lilly (Lillibelle) and a Geranium (Stella) slipped into the l cd. One day there was a shower of tears among the flowers, for they were soon to l e sent lurk to the wilds. So the choicest flowers of all the garden have been cultivated to the latest peda¬ gogic products and are ready for the market at $100.00 per month—special rates to County Superintendents. This class of 1909 has had many happy days together; the time that they crept to the . W. C. A. room at midnight with the bones of a human man, the night they had a jolly spread in the tower when the gardeners were asked too; tile “wild animals they had met” in the pursuit of art; the times they laughed themselves into stitches” watching Maria. Sir Toby and Sir Andrew: these all recalled such happy sensations that the lied almost forsook carnations as Patron Saint, in the worship of Forget-me-not. CLASS OF 1909 President ........

We were eager to see and to bear everything that concerned ns or the class, and welcomed any adventure that might present itself. On Halloween, as ghosts and goblins, we went on our first escapade and were entertained at a classmate’s home on Craig ' s Hill. Being encouraged by our success we ventured further. Ill a bobsled we went over Craig’s Hill, past the grave yard and to the home of one of our members. Here we spent a delightful evening playing games and dancing. Can t you taste the chicken and oysters? ... The crowning success of the year was the picnic in the spring to Manashtash Canyon. Those who were peacefully inclined gathered flowers for Botany. Those who sought adventure found it. for one fell into the Creek; two were chased by barking dogs; six climbed a steep, rocky mountain anil saw two rattlesnakes: eight remained in tile valley below and killed a rattlesnake. How large? O! Immense! We were never Fresh men. September, 1905— -June, 1906 I This year we made our debut This, though, was a year p- •] of good hard work, The things we remember most distinctly � ■ ' ' this year are essays on “American Literature.” Miss Beals, our literary and class teacher, entertained us at her home one evening. The refreshments were candy. _ peanuts and American Literature. Our picnic to the river was a great success although the horses ran away September, 1906—June, 1907 We came out at 5 a, m. Thereby hangs the talc. , We were exposed to Neurology and took it. Willie we were ill with It we learned manv interesting things about our brains. We gave a surprise party to the class president. ... We went to the north fork of the Manashtash Canyon on a picnic. It rained hut we had a jolly time. September, 1907—June, 190S FOURTH YEARS! FOURTH YEARS! FOURTH YF.ARS! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAM! FOURTH YEARS! We came out ahead of all the other classes of the school. Delicious were the num¬ ber of spreads we had in the Normal in the stillness of the night Prof Saunders, our class teacher, took us on some extensive phystograplucal and geological expeditions to Craigs Hill, on which trips we made a number of valuable scientific discoveries, among them, that a shovel was gradually wearing down a trans¬ verse valley in Craig ' s Hill and that this wearing away and tearing down of the lull was due to the action of steam. We performed the Fourth Year ' s regular stunt the twenty-second of l-ebruary and entertained the school in honor of George Washington. AH that went on the picnic to Coleman halls had the time of their lives and agree, first, that the falls are beautiful, second, that it is the very best place for a picnic if yon want a good time. September, 1908—June, 1909 Wc came nut in new Parisian bats and gave a charming reproduction of the Sen¬ ior’s singing. The audience was enthusiastic. Wc took our turn ruling as ghosts and goblins, Hallowe ' en night. February 9th. a class parly was given at Margaret ' s. . . The candy sales were given by us, one in the gymnasium, one in the Training School for the benefit of the Year Book.

Most certainly not! would be the answer from all the students and even- member of the faculty. F.ver since the class made its appearance from the training school, adding a few as it went along, it has lteen notorious (in more ways than one). The first three years of our career passed quietly except for our annual picnic and sleighing parties, and the brilliant lawn fete given in our third year. This, our fourth year, is a memorable one. We are three of the five in the first basketball team, the whole thing ( ?) in the debating team, and Treble Clef could not exist without us. In fact you can see our bright and smiling faces in almost all prominent positions, doittg our share as all good members of the W. S. N. S. should do.

Fulton in his lxiolc, “Educational System of the Twentieth Century, published in 2015, says in regard to the school system of the United States: In looking over the school systems of the different states I was deeply inter¬ ested in the school system of Washington, and especially in the work carried on by one of the classes of a certain Normal School located in the central part of the State. This class was composed of 33 memlx-rs. Some came from the Normal training school, some front the public schools of Washington, some from other parts of the United States and one from Japan. The students who came from the training school were twelve in number. They were brilliant students, al¬ though most of their early education was gained at the ex¬ pense of the student teachers. The average age of the class is about 10 years. Some of the mcml crs of the class have had one or two years exper¬ ience in the school room. Others have taken up different lines of work. The record left by the class shows that there were musicians, artists, orators, and a good deal of literary talent. By the records left in other colleges by different members of this class, it is shown that the work lie gun in the Normal did not end with the school year, hut was earnestly carried on in after¬ life. The majority of this class left a name and a record that have found a per¬ manent place in the History of the United States. The famous orator ami politician from 1920-1935 was a member of this class The 1‘riine Minister from Japan to the United States in 1925-1935 was also a mem¬ ber of the class. That remarkable woman, who during the early half of the Twen¬ tieth Century became the brilliant lecturer on Woman ' s Suffrage was the president of this lx dy of students. Several of the number graduated with honors from the advanced colleges of the United States, and made for themselves a place in the literary world. Also that famous actress who held New York and London spell bound for several tears received her early education in this school and was a class¬ mate of those 1 have mentioned. Other members of this class made themselves equally famous in the schoolroom or in a home of their own. Such is the record of that brilliant Third fear Class of 1908-1909. It was during that year of hard, intelligent study that they laid the foundation for their future work.” (48) Alberta McDonnell C ' liuuc Tenchrr iS’rrmtli tirar (Class Instant The morning of September third. 1907, Registration Day at the Normal, dawned bright and pleasant. Alxiut eight o’clock students in twos and threes might he seeu making their way toward the Normal and before long its halls were tilled with laughing, chatting groups, exchanging greetings, and seeming very glad to he to¬ gether again. Suddenly one of the girls of a group standing in the library, chancing to look out of the win¬ dow. exclaimed. Oh, l.ook! Girls, here come some Two rather small, timid, hesitating girls, whose appearance plainly indicated that they could he none other than freshmen, were coming up the walk. Lit¬ tle did these girls dream that they were the beginning of that most accomplished and notable class Later, as two freshmen were leav¬ ing the normal, they met a little red headed girl of alxiut their own age wlio, it soon transpired, was to be their classmate. This newcomer was no other than myself, and. possessing the usual amount of freshman timidity. I received great en¬ couragement from this chance meeting. During the day the number of our class rapidly increased until, when all had arrived, there were alxiut thirty of us. Hi! What a time we had, going to our classes, the first day. We were almost certain that the rooms were all wrongly numbered, and often nearly despaired before we found the places to which we were to go. All this did. however, hut aid us in getting acquainted, and l� y evening most of the class knew each other fairly well. In¬ sight if not by name. We were very proud of the fart that we had six boys in the class, as that was a greater numlier than any other class boosted. We had good reason to be proud of them, for two or three soon became the most popular students in school, if being frequently called to the office can lie called being popular. After two or three weeks had elapsed, we agreed that we ought to have a class meeting and elect some class officers, for all the other classes were organized and we did not wish to l e thought slow. Such a meeting as that first one was! I will just say that we got our officers elected in the course of time and became the organized class of ' 13. I he first Normal Reception was, for Us, one of the great events, so we cannot ( 50 ) .ASS UtPKfcKS pass it by w ithout mention. Some decided they would not go but, as a whole. I think tile class was well represented. Then our first class party caused a hreak in the peaceful sequence of our usual tasks. In the first place we were entirely unable to agree upon what an event like that should be like. Then, what to do and what to have worried us to a great extent. In the course of the year we had two or three more of these parties and they were greatly enjoyed by all. Much to our surprise one of our number left school about mid year and was mar¬ ried. This was one of the girls who lived a few miles out in the country, so we spent quite an eventful evening going out to her home. All through the year we had been planning the crowning event of the season ; our class picnic. We chose as the day for it Thursday before the close of school. About six on that morning we left the Normal for the canyon. The day was s] ent in a delightful manner, and all were sorry when it came time to return home. On our way hack one of the girls fell off her horse and another fell from the wagon, but as neither w as seriously hurt the falls only served for excitement. After three months’ summer vacation, we again gathered in the Normal hall to he registered. We did not come as green “Freshies” this year, hut as dignified “Sophomores.” Not many of our class had returned, hut there were new members who joined our ranks and these greatly aided In the reorganization which we at once l egan. The class now numbers about eighteen and is in no respect the happy-go-lucky body of last year. However we have our jolly side still, and occasionally show it. We have had several very enjoyable class parties and one long-to-be-rememl ered sleigh ride, which we took on the coldest night in the year. Our class is also Iteginning to show forth that for which it stands. We have poets, singers, athletes and all kinds of accomplished members who are well known and greatly respected by all the school. As a whole we are leading a very profitable and enjoyable life and hope that in a few years our class can stand at the head of the school and show a record which can¬ not he surpassed. L. M. ( 52 ) Ifirst tjrar (Elasa ijiatnnf The first year class was organized September the ninth, nineteen hundred eight. The following were elected for the first semester: President. Ben Rader: Vice-President. Hilda Hrunn; Secretary. Helen Ames; Treasurer. William Tiemy; Sergeant-at-Arms. Edna Kent. It was voted to have Monday as the regular day for class meetings. The class colors are ‘‘Old Rose and “Steel Gray.” Decemlier came. “Now we will have a sleigh riding party, said all the class; but no snow was in sight. Day by day the weather grew colder, and the mountains grew whiter, but still the snow in the valley did not appear. Early in January we had almost given up our party for this year, when one Tuesday morning we found six inches of snow on the ground, so we decided to have our party the next Saturday. All went well until Saturday. At one o’clock Saturday afternoon it l egan to grow cold, by five it was six below zero and it kept steadily getting colder. At seven it was ten below, so our party was given up for that night. Then the next Friday night was agreed upon, but zero weather still prevailed. We waited then two weeks of zero nights, then it moderated a little and our party was all planned in two hours. The air was chilly, hut our songs and yells and the tinkling of the sleigh bells filled it with merry echoes. )ur destination was the home of our class President, Ben Rader, aiiout eight miles from town. We played games, sang songs, listened to the grapha- phone, and had a dandy feast of apples, oranges, candy, popcorn, peanuts, walnuts, and cookies. It was one o’clock when we reached town, all tired and sleepy, but happy. This was the one class festivity of the first semester. The following officers were elected and installed for the second semester: Presi¬ dent, Ruth Carr: Vice-President, Edward Petitte; Secretary, Stella Peck; Treasurer. Nessa Morgan. ’[’he First Year Class has been interested in four organizations in the course of the year, through certain of its members: The First Year Basketball Team.

( 54 ) V I M,4 SSNV ' 13 I i nt a Wilson Roy Chapman 3Jutrr-Arabmir Srhatr VERYONK knows of the offering of the McCormick prize for the winner in a debate to be held between schools of high school rank, not public high “ schools, on the question: “Resolved, that the missionaries did more than the statesmen to obtain and retain Old Oregon for the United States. The W. S. N. S. hesitated to enter. This was owing to its well known modesty, which hesitated to subject to this trial students who had, of necessity, so little forensic training. Con¬ sideration of the advantage to the students of this exercise, won the day; and Miss Dora Wilson and Mr. Roy Chapman were elected to represent the school. The first delate was assigned by Supt. Dewey for December, between Cheney and Ellensburg. Cheney defaulted to Ellensburg. The second debate was with Pearson ' s Academy, Walla Walla. W. S. N. S. won this dehate, though she expected to lose, since Whitman College has the best missionary library in tile state and Pearson’s debated on the affirmative. The third debate, and the last of the series, was between lillensburg and the Holy Names Academy, Seattle. The judges were Mr. Donohue, trustee of the Bellingham Normal. Mr. l.oder of Tacoma, and Librarian Hitt of Olympia. The decision was in favor of the Holy Names Academy. Tki-Normai. Contest. The second annual reading and oratorical contest lietween the three State Normal Schools, took place May 16, at Bellingham. Miss Lucilc Wilson, ’09. represented the school as reader, and Mr. Newton Henton, ' 09 , as orator. The honor of the even¬ ing was awarded to Ellensburg, W. S. N. S. winning the cup for best team work. The judges gave first place in reading to Cheney, first place in oratory to Bellingham. So the cup presented last year by the Alumni and friends of W. S. N. S. remains another year in the possession of the school. ( 57 ) Jlthl eticsA Haakrt HaU I h«- absence of frank ami Stanley Wilson was felt even more in basketball than in foot¬ ball. ami unr team this year has not the clear record of decisive victories over every team they met, as had last year ' s team. Nevertheless we are proud of our boy ' s record, for we are sure that every opposing tram, whether victorious or not, knew that they had been in a uift game of basketball. The first game was on the home floor with Cook’s Gymnasium team of Spokane, at the timr when our electric light plant was taking its usual winter vacation. hi account of the poor light the game was rather rough and alow, and when time was called the score was 27 to 10 against us. The second game with Koslvn Y. M. C. A. was not a very fast game, because two of Koslvn’s best players, delayed by a late train, did not get here until the end of the game. This made the game decidedly onesided, as rhown by the score 35 to 7 in our favor. The next game with Bellingham Normal, on our floor, was closely contested. During the first ten minutes of play the visiting team made our boys look like somnambulists, but they L ' Ame to and the first half ended with the score only 14 to 13 against us. The second half was fiercely centered bv both teams, and a little roughness crept into the game with the anxiety to win. Neither • ide had much advantage during the half, but when the final addition of points was made, the score stood 25 to 24 in favor of Kllenshurg. In preparation for our trip to the Sound, we played the Ellensbnrg High School team nt the rink, winning easily by a score of 2Q to !«;. On Thursday, February iSth, we left for the Sound to play four game with school teams on the west side. Although we rrturned with only one victory, we were decisively beaten only or.ee. We all enjoyed ririting the different schools and meeting their teams, but wjith the excep¬ tion of Bellingham Normal, the schools do not treat the visiting teams as well as we do here We enjoyed especially the visit in Bellingham, and the days we had in Seattle on the trip up and the trip back. True, the boys returned without a penny in their pockets, but if you ask them to explain, they will tell you they had a good time. The details of the different games are as follows: Tacoma High School—The gymnasium was narrow with one wall basket and one free basket. We drew the free basket for first half, and the score was 21 to 15 against us. In the tecond half, with the wall basket, we soon evened the score and kept the lead until the last minute of play, when by a long shut front the center of the field Tacoma won the game. Score 35 to 34- l.inroln High School Although the hoys were too tired to play their best in this game, they gave a good account of them elves, and the Lincoln team had to work for every point they made. The game was nut us one-tided as the tcore would indicate, fur ul times uur passing had the other team guessing, and it was due to the superior skill of the forwards in shooting baskets from the field that the score was 35 to 23 against us. Hellingham .Normal School—After two days rest we met the Normal team on their floor, and played rings round them during the first half with a score of 15 to 8. The Bellingham b ' tya came back strong in the second half and soon tied the ‘core. When time was called the score was a tic at 25 in 25 This necessitated playing until one team scored two con¬ secutive points, and after n few minutes of play for an |� ening we were lucky enough to make a field basket, thus winning the game by (wo points. After the game a spread was prepared for both teams by the girls of the domestic science class of the school. This was enjoyed by all, and served as a fitting climax to an already very pleasant visit. We lost the last game to the Bellingham V. M. C. A. by a score of 3b to 13. Nuf said. We expect to end the season by a game on our floor with Cheney Normal, and this game we must win, because our team has never been defeated in basketball by either of the other nor¬ mal schools. Baseball is next in the list, but of that we can write little at this lime, as no arrangements have hern made for work along that line. We have tome good material, if we can find time to practice and can arrange games with teams close at hnd.

C ' lim li (6irls’ Haskct Hall The fcjirlx started practicing early in the fall, anil two fairly good teams were developed ; the “Babies” composed of first, second and third year girls, ttn l first tenm composed of the older players. But they have been unfortunate this year in not brine able to secure sanies with out¬ side teams, either on our own Hour or elsewhere. Even our old friendly rival “Yakima’ refuted to play the first team, and had to try it out with the “Babies ' before tackling anything more difficult. Then just when the girls thought they had everything nicely arranges! for a trip to Pullman, Cheney, and Walla Walla, it was found to the disappointment of all that consecutive dates for the three games could not be obtained, and the trip had to be given up. A game was finally arranged between the North Yakima High School and our “Babies” on the homr Door. Our girls made up m swiftness what they Inched in size, anil after a very interesting five minutes of play took the lead and kept it throughout the game. Both teams played a good fast game, but when time was called the score was 9 to 5 in our favor. A return gume was played in the Yakima Y. M. C. A. from which the “Babies ' were barred. A team was made up of the other girls who had practiced during the year, and they easily defeated the North Yakima team in a fast anti scrappy game. The score at the end of the first half was H to 6 in our favor and during the second half this lead wa steadily increased until the whistle blew, when the score was found to be 17 to 8 in our favor. The only other games have been between the Junior class, which has the only straight class team in the school, and the “Babies.” The first game was quite close with a score of 14 to 12 in favor of the “Babies.” They also won the second game. The “faculty” was challenged by both teams, but for some unaccountable reason they failed to accept either challenge. Next year there should be teams from every class. We could then not only pick out a fine school team, hut also have some very interesting class games. Some of the classes would then he known to exist, which are now only known by announcements of numerous class meetings. Football With last year ' s record of “champions of Central Washington to uphold, and only five of last year’s team to start with, the twelve or thirteen hoys of our ichool who were strong enough, and willing to play football, turned out in the fall, and did their best to work up a good team. Of the five old players, only two, J. McKinstry and N. Hen ton, hail played in the hack field, hut with W. Allen, a new man. for quarter everything looked favorable for a good showing. Just about the time when games should have been scheduled for the season, Allen was un fortunate enough to break his ankle. This accident dampened somewhat the football spirit of the boys, ami by the time the team was in shape to play any kind ot a game, it was too late to arrange for any regular schedule of games. Thus the season passed with a few practice games with the Ellenshurg High School, and two games with Yakima High School. One of these, played at Yakima, we lost by a score of f to o. The other, played on our own grounds, we won by a similar score. A regular match game between the High School and Normal teams was planned, but some of the High School team were so badly disabled in their last game with K rank I in High that they did not care to play, and the question of which school had the better team remained unsettled. The prospects for a fast team next year are good, as most of this years team expect to return and each hopes to bring with him a friend who will be a strong addition to our squad. ( 60 ) Eoitii Scmkbhi c«u ril Anna Clk ?, Sub. Organizations Erlrrtir tCitrrarp arxrtif The Eclectic Literary society of W. S. N. S. vn« reorganized shortly after school began last September. The few old members of the society earnestly set to work early in the year to interest the new students and thereby obtain their membership. Their efforts were not without avail, for a large number of the student-body can be seen passing to the meetings on Friday afternoon. The aim of this society, this year as in former years, has been to arouse the literary interest of the members and also to give all an opportunity of studying some of the best literary productions. The society was equally divided into lections, A and B. These divisions were made so that each might take a different line of work. Every two weeks the society has met as a whole and given a joint program on the work that each had been following. We have been not only entertained at these meetings with literary productions but also favored with musical (elections gTently enjoyed by all. Section A gave a Public on December 17, on a selection taken from Faust. This was well rendrred and much credit is due to those who took part. This section has also studied the life of William Tell and of Goethe. Several private programs were given while studying these men. Our last work has been nn the Presidents of the United States. We studied these great men so that we might familiarize ourselves with their private lives as well as their public careers. Section K has made a very extensive study of grand operas. They gave the second public in March, on this subject, which was much appreciated by all who heard it. This has been one of the best years of the Eclectic Society and we are sure that all its members feel that they have gained a great deal from this work. dhc (Errsmtt iCitrrary urii ' ty Whenever you look over catalogues, year books, or school papers or come in contact m any other way with the W. S. X. S. at Ellensburg, your attention is called to the Crescent Literary Society. ' This society was founded in the very early history of the school by the St 11 dents, in order that they might have opportunities for literary work other than that offered in the regular courses. At the close of the second remester of each school year the officers are chosen to take up the work in the following September, and it is for them and the few members left to get new members to reorganize the society and to get matters on a working basis. For various reasons, no year perhaps has seen fewer old members back, yet these few decided nn a new course that is to let new students come in of their own free will, not to rtt h them. This course came as a result of the great number of drones found in the society in previous years, and it was firmly believed that it was much better to have a few workers in the society than a large and inactive memliership. All were given an invitation to visit the private meetings. After a few weeks, to the great joy of the few staunch members, it was found that the society had tripled its mem¬ bership. As usual the society was divided into four round tables, the work of these consisting of thr study of various subjects, from which the private and public programs were given. Round tables one and three decided to take up the subject of magazines. They gave several tine private programs, one a representation of many of the leading magazines. Out of this work the first public entertainment was developed, which was an original play, “Three Hours in a News paper Office ’ Round tallies two and four have spent considerable time with Dicker’s characters. They gave many interesting and instructive programs on this material and one public, “Dickens’ School Teachers 1 The officers are chosen every quarter and for ' 08 and ' 09 are as follows: Presidents, Newton llcnton, Clara Pcrrault, Louis Crosier; Vice-presidents, Ednu Hunt, Louis Crozier, Henry (jib- son; Secretaries, Anna Clerf, Margaritc McKinnon, Susie Smith; Treasurers, Rena GUkey, Ellen Luff, Otto Selle.

(£. A. The Young Woman ' Christian Association is just closing one of its busiest and most pleasant years. The reception given to new students on the Normal lawn at the opening of the year was much enjoyed by all, and though sometimes the shadows were too deep to get features well in mind, we listened well to voices, anil the next day we felt that there were now no new and old—but all one, old students. The girls this ycaT also had new rooms to put in order and many spare moments have been spent in work up in the large pleasant rooms on the third lloor which we are 60 proud to cull ours. We did not do all the work, however, but left a great deal to he done by the girls next year, but we assure them it will be pleasant work, especially if they have good lunches to finish up on us we had lust fall. The girls felt that the early visit we had from Mis Hopkins, the Field Secretary, did much towards starting the work well. She gave us fresh inspiration, as well as sound advice and practical suggestions. We also enjoyed very much the short visit we had from Miss Gage in December. We were sorry her stay had to be so short, but appreciated greatly meeting her and hearing her tulk. In the fall the Presbyterian Synod met in Kllensburg, and the Faculty gave a reception to thr visiting minister and allowed the Association girls to take this in charge. Tea und sand¬ wiches were rerved, the room looked very pretty with the two long tables, with a faculty Indy serving at each end. A small donation, started in fun but which materialized rapidly, was given by the ministers for the work of the Association. We also had the pleasure of entertaining the Treble lef for .Miss Sabelwit one afternoon, in our room. A receprton was given to the Bellingham boys when they played our boys basketball. All the students had the pleasure of meeting the hoys in the library after the game, ami then the two team were taken up higher und surprised with an oyster supper, cooked by thr girl . The girl have also bought some dishes for their own, five do en cups, saucers nnd tea plates, and these will be rented for any school functions. ' ITiey have been used several times this year. We have also made school pennants for sale, nnd are now work ing on some Y. W. C. A. ones. The colors are gold ami white and we expect some very pretty pennants. One other thing that has been interesting has heen our cabinet lunches. We were unable to find an hour when all of us could meet for our monthly cabinet meetings, so decided to bring our lunches and spend the noon hour for the work. It worked nicely, and we have had some Good Times, at the same lime getting our work done too. ' Hie girls have taken a lively interest in all the various phase of the work, especially along the lines of conferences. We had three delegates at Seuside, Oregon, at the Northwest conference last June, six at Tacomn at the student conference in October, and expect a delegation of at least twelve at The Breakers this June. The Mother’s Club, which is an outgrowth of the kindergarten mother ' s conference, has been holding bi monthly meetings since September. The purpose of the club is the study of «|uestions reluting to nurture and homemaking. A well planned program has been followed. The meetings are held nt the various home and are generally conducted by club members. Occasional outsiders who have a message arc invited to speak to the club. V. W.

Miss Sabrlwiu and Miss Sander (treble CElrf I he Treble Clef, a chorus of twenty-three young ladies, is one of the best known organizations in the school. It is under the direction of Miss Sabelwitz, who has met the girls throughout the year on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from four to five o ' clock. It is due to her efforts that the club is able to render part-songs artistically and with polish and expression. Miss Sabelwitz is truly an artist and thoroughly understands the art of conducting. The girls have had a full course in sight singing, vocal drill, including tone placing and tone production, training in enunciation and pronunciation, breathing, and ample experience in artistic ensemble singing. The results of their work along these lines was shown consumatclv in the program given April 16. in Assembly Hall. In addition to the Baccalaureate and Commencement programs which are I wing prepared, the private pupils of Miss Sabelwitz in voice and piano are planning to give numerous programs. One of these will be a recital given on two pianos, and will represent such composers of ensemble music, as, von Wilm, Tehaikowskv, Low, Saint Saens and tlrieg. Other programs will include works by the I rest American ami foreign composers. A Chopin program is to be presented to the students on March 30, March being the month of tile Chopin centenary. These recitals represent the regular work done by tile private pupils throughout the year. The Treble Clef has adopted a uui(]ue plan of combining study with pleasure and at the same time patronizing the Y. W. C. A. Extra rehearsals in preparation for the numerous programs were necessary, so the I lee Club on several occasions held a five o’clock “Spread,” in the Y. W. C. A. rooms, after which its members spent an hour or more in rehearsal. Miss KIshcth S.

( 67 ) If mirth Wear Party Hie Annual Colonial Party given by the fourth year students of the Normal was held as usual in the lower rooms and gymnasium, which were prettily decorated for the occasion with flags and candles. The guests were conducted to the reception room and introduced to Alexander Hamilton, l ady Divinity, Aaron Burr and other notables of a past generation. After all the guests had arrived, they were escorted to the gymnasium. The stately minuet, danced by twenty demure girls, ended a delightful program, after which men bowed to maids in |uaint old fashioned cos¬ tumes and powdered hair, who oourtesied in response and all joined in dancing till a late hour. Dainty refreshments were served in the reception room, after which Miss Bunker Hill took Iter monument. Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton locked arms. Bene¬ dict Arnold returned to West Point ami all said good-night. IjaUmurYn Party The eventful night came and with it the guests. Ghosts and witches stood ready to receive them at the coal chute, where each one was shot unceremoniously down into the pitchy darkness of Hades, Here, to add to the fearful gloom, the groans and diaholical laughter of goblins and witches sent a shudder of horror along every nerve. Unseen hands seized and guided guests through Hades, a nightmare of skulls grinning with fiendish delight at the plight of the visitors. A gruesome coffin finally opened the way into the Elysiau fields beyond and here ghosts, witches, (68) goblins and guests danced happily together to the strains of witching music, until a late hour, when all, after having | artaken of the food of the spirits, left Heaven and Hades deserted. fttuir an JJuuuir ifiaijrtftr Zip, Hoorn.

Echoed through the streets in the early evening of September 12th, and people rushed to their duors and windows to see two four-horse teams go galloping down the street to bring up with a grand flourish before the Normal. Accompanied by their class teachers, the Juniors and Seniors, haded down with good things to eat. and each carrying a very noisy tin cup ami spoon, piled into the hayracks, settled themselves in the straw, and in short order were humping merrily over the road to the river. It was a jolly and a rather disheveled crowd that finally tumbled out. belter, skelter, at the river and scattered in all directions to gather wood for a ban-fire. This done games were next in order, until the appetizing aroma of boiling coffee and the call “supper drew them around the fire. Except for the desert of toasted marsh¬ mallows. which had mysteriously disappeared en route, the spread was complete and all that could be desired. At a late hour a tired but happy crowd, rode home through the moonlight, and the first frolic of the school year became a pleasant memory. Crrturr (Cmirap The Normal has l� een very successful this year in procuring a series of enter¬ tainments hy prominent people. The first in the series, a musical number, was one of the best of its kind and one which will not soon he forgotten by those who heard it. Sylvester 1-ong in hi lecture on “Toothpicks and I.ightning” provided a very good second number. I ' he third and fourth numbers were the Dunbar Concert Company and Governor J. W. Folk. The regular entertainment course has been supplemented by several special entertainments, which will he noted in another place. fflr. ffianfnrft’s AMrraa March the 9th, at the request of Professor Wilson, Mr. Hanford, the well known actor of Shakespearean plays, addressed the students of the Kllelisburg Normal, lie spoke particularly of the Players Club of which he is a member, and of a National I heater which he hopes to see established in the l nited States, some time in the near future. After the address several readings from Shakespeare were given which were received with much en joyment and great applause bv both students and teachers. (69) Mas. E. J.

(72) iExprrirurra nf a $rhnol (Trarbrr The ex|ttriences of a new teacher are as varied as they are terrible, and depend upon taste, age and templet of the teacher concerned. I say depend upon taste, etc., because it is only a matter of how you look upon your curioua acquaintances and of how you let them look upon you. Innumerable problems confront the teacher. If you think at the table, you are above others; if you are blue, you haven ' t got your letter from your sweetheart; if you are jolly, you have. If you are young, you are foolish; if you are old, you have been “missed” and deserve the com mixeration of the con versa (tonally charitable. If you mingle in society, you are frivolous; if you do not you are morbid. As for your work, you have a snap, hut si hours a day, live days in a week. A real man never takes such a job, and a woman only to get money without working for it. In fact, your salary is much too large and taxes aught not to he imposed upon people who work, to give such drones so high a living. In the school, problems as unreasonable arise. If you thrash, you’re brutal; if you don’t, you are soft; if you smile, the children go as far as they can; if you frown, they go slow. Mary ' s eyes are weak, Johnnie can ' t hear well. Sarah has trouble with her side, James has a weak knee, Lixxie bad teeth, Susie stutters, Mamie cries with alight provocation. The door won’t stay latched, the windows rattle. The hard places in the floor make little peaks, while the floor itself sags in the middle. The loo few radiators leak and the heat goes down too soon at night. The desks don’t fit; boards are too high; only two windows can open, and the transom rattles down at every jar. The desk tops are too uneven to write upon; your own desk came out of the urk along with the text hooks. In short, life Is one long, sweet dream, dependent u|«on your taste, age and scruples. Hut these are only the superficial experiences. Heneath the prying eyes of gossipy acquaint mice are kindly hearts and human souls. These people, too, are trying to solve the riddle of living, and if their method be strange, their aim is worthy. Within the shabby school rooms are living children—sometimes too fast living for us old ones. The pure and simple love for you. which one of these unwittingly reveals, melt mountains of trouble and worry, and covers the blue;! day with its shining rays; and I believe, for a teacher who really cares, there are ninety and nine loving children to the one who is unrcached. The experiences with the ninety and nine ere the important, those which have lasting effects. To the child they are the building blocks which make him the man or woman which he or she be¬ comes. To the teacher, they are the broadening and softening influences, which remove the nn happy feelings of race jealousy. Through such experiences is the world to be saved. “Ah! w hat would the world he to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the days before, Ve are better than all the ballads That ever were sung or said : For vc arc the living poems, And all the rest are dead. ’ {The Alumni Cup When it was decided that an oratorical and declamatory contest take place between the three Normal Schools of the state, C S. X. S, 11 . S. N. S. and W. S. X. S., a movement was started among the Alumni of the W. S. X. S. to purchase a cup to award to the winning school. With a contribution of the Alumni, other former students, and friends of the school, the cup was purchased. This cup is to be held from year to year by the school of the winning team. In the contest of 08 it was won by our school team. Miss Minnie Kuxxell, render, ami Mr Stanley Wilson, orator. It ha rrmained in our school for nearly a year and we hope that it will spend a ripe old age with us. (See frontispiece.) Professor Saunders: What is the population of this state? ' After waiting a few minutes for an answer and receiving none, he said, “We’ll look that up, I do not know myself.” Little Crete hen was beginning to attend Training School.

He shook and the boys laughed, and the more hr shook ihe more they laughed because—the large shaker contained powdered sugar and the small one the desired salt.

First—the auburn haired beauty. Miss Wilson by name, who for her )! Clolly” has non world wide fame. ' Phen comes their baby, little Grace Coy, Their May Queen, their darling, their pet and their joy. Then next the hoy hater, Mary Pollock by name. Who if seen with a boy, would grow crimson with shame. Here comes chatter box Sadie, the dear darling twin. Who forever is Haying � h! where is my Jim? Then Miss Perrnult, the will-o-the-wisp, Who if she should leave Here would surely be minted.

Then there ' s Miss Edna, whose isarticnlar stunt is to teach the young child a nice man to hunt. Next Florence McFarland, with jewels galore—we wish -he would sell them and try to eat more. ,, Then there ' Roy Chapman, so mild and so cool, Who like the white lambkin follows Mary to school. And the Dorm president with her little srjuelch bell, who thinks when she rings it, she ' s so swell. Then there ' s young Alice, so meek and so mild, who looks very much like a two year-old child. Sweet Gertrude comes next with her small crooked smile, which the pleasure of seeing would draw one a mile. I.ast but not least tomes the tall stately Minta. who thinks she wrill one day make ijuite a fair sprinter. There, we almost forgot our dear, sweet friend Fatty,” who sometimes acts as though decidedly battv! lie’s their honorable president the future Roosevelt, the great football champion, the renowned basketball star The ladies man, the world famous orator, the would-be law ' yer. The music master ami lastly the great famous poet. All these things wilt be in his mind, don ' t you see, but all is impossible since we Juniors agree, that he ne ' er will be ought but n pedegngue.
