A tBrirf ijtetury nf thr Masliington tatr Normal rltool In accordance with the provision of the constitution of the State of Washing¬ ton making ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, the first legislature enacted a law in which these words occur: “There shall l. established in the city of Ellensburg, county of Kittitas, a school, to be called the Washington State Normal School, for the training and education of teachers in the art of instructing and governing in the public schools of thi- state. The above act was approved March 28 , i 8 jo, by Clovernor lilisha P. Ferry. The legislature, however, made no provision for a building or for the mainten¬ ance of said school. The Governor appointed W. R. Abrams, Dr. T. J. Newland, 7 and Fred VY. Agatz all of Ellcnsburg as trustees. They, with the Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction as ex-officio members, constituted the first board of trustees. W hen the second legislative assembly convened in iSyi. the dire ' etors of the Lllensburg public schools, through the trustees of the Normal, tendered to the state the use of the rooms on the second floor of the public school building, includ¬ ing the assembly room and four class rooms, free of charge, conditioned on the legislature making an appropriation for the maintenance of the school This proposition was accepted, and an appropriation of $1 s.cco made for the main- tcnance 01 the school for a period of two years. Tile following faculty was employed ' : Benjamin F. Barge. Principal. W N 1 ull. Fannie ( Noma, and Row M. Rice. Mrs. Gass was chosen u matron of the dormitory. and a bnck building in the Craig Hill section, now the house ot i Hto Kohler, was secured for that purpose. The school was opened September 7. 1891. A three years course was then of- lercd. and the work of instruction was apportioned to the teachers without anv attempt at establishing departments, Enough high school graduates and teachers of experience entered the school to form a senior class of thirteen members, eleven of whom were graduated at the end of the hrst school year. The training school for the first year was limited to the first grade with Rose M. Rice as model teacher and supervisor. The senior class first observed and afterwards taught in the grade. The school opened without any library and with a very limited amount of apparatus. Principal Barge put ns private library in the school building for the use of the students, and during u year a tew books in addition to text-books were purchased with the main- tenamc fund. I wo literary societies were formed, the Eclectic and the Crescent these societies met for literary work on Friday afternoons and evenings. They arc still in existence, and have kept pace with the evolution of the school, always vying with each other in meritorious work. There were enrolled during the rust year 86 students representing twenty-five of the counties of the state and ranging in age from sixteen to fifty-eight years, the average age of the graduat¬ ing class being 22 and eight thirteenths. K At the beginning of the second year Fannie C. Norris resigned and Efvira Alaiquis was elcctc_d to succeed her. There was but little variation in the work¬ ings of the school from the hrst year. Anna L. Steward a student of the school assisted in class work. It was impossible to provide much in the wav of equip¬ ment. 1 he dormitory was abandoned and the students boarded with families of the town or did light housekeeping. An unfurnished room could then l c rented for one dollar a month. A literary society was organized by the faculty and err- tain literary people of the town, which tended to increase local interest in the school. The enrollment increased from 80 to 139. and twenty-three were gra 1- uated at the end of the second year. The legislature of 1893 appropriated $25,000 for the maintenance of the uibhni r Tv n L , -„ 1 ° O ' ,S 95.. and $f«.ooo for the erection of a iiuilding. . N. Hull and Rose M. Kite resigned at the end of the second year the 1acuity was increaseil and departments established as follows: B F Barge Principal. History of Education and School Management; |. H. Morgan. Vice- 1 rmcipal and Mathematics; J. A. Mahan. Natural Science; Elvira Marquis. Fng- hsh ' -rammer. Rlietonc and Literature; Elizabeth A. Cartright, Physical Train¬ ing and Elocution; Christiana S. Hyatt, Principal of Training School; C. H. Knap]) general assistant; Anna L. Steward. Assistant in Mathematics. A room 8 fitted «l n the atl ‘ c ' I ' ' 0 1 made five class rooms in addition to the assembly ' ' Some additions were made to the library and some additional apparatus rH °urcd The Training School was increased to embrace the first four grades of 5 ° rjty schools. There were twenty-four graduated at the end of this year. The ,nC llnicnt fell to 117. During this year the literary societies were placed under •he control of members of the faculty, in order to secure more general participa¬ tion in that line of work. At the end of the third year (June. 1894) Principal B. F. P.arge resigned, and I Getz was elected to succeed him as Principal and also as Principal of the Training School. Anna L. Steward was elected critic teacher of the Training School. The de partment of History and Geography was established with C. H. Knapp as head of the department; the department of Music with Fanny A. Ayres as head of the department; and the department of Drawing with Ruth C. Turner as head of that department. A kindergarten was also added to the train¬ ing school. At the beginning of the fourth year (Sept.. 1894) the school occupied the new buildnig. This is situated on a sightly block 300 by 400 feet somewhat ele¬ vated. thus affording a view of a portion of the city, the valley, and the foothills surrounding the valley. The view from the tower of the building is very fine. During the next four years (1894-1898) the school was under the guidance of the same Principal. P. A. Getz, and there was not much variation in policy. The school gradually developed. The development was affected by the varying amounts appropriated by the different legislatures. Sometimes a backward step was taken in the amount appropriated, but the general trend of the school was upward. Upon entering the new building one room was set aside for books other than texts, and magazines, and designated the library ' , and from year to year the number of volumes was increased. The amount of apparatus was in¬ creased and a museum begun. The training school increased in scope and num¬ bers until it comprised the first six grades. Some changes were made in the fac¬ ulty from time to time. A training school principal was employed in 1895 in the person of Annie L. Klingensmith. A dining hall was established during this time on Fifth Street between Pine and Ruby, which at the end of one year was suc¬ ceeded by the present dormitory in the Nash block on Fourth Street between Main and Pearl. In the spring of 1898 Miss Klingensmith, Miss Page. Miss Steward and Miss Throop resigned. Later, Principal Getz resigned. Thus was ushered in what may be termed the third epoch in the history of the school, the coming of a new Principal and in part a new faculty. The present Principal. W. E. Wilson, was elected in July, 1898. During this epoch various changes have been affected in the way of remodeling rooms and fitting up new rooms in the main building. A training school building with modern conveniences has been erected and a separ¬ ate building for the heating plant; the physical and biological apparatus has been increased and laboratories established, some apparatus for the psychological de¬ partment, and some for the physical training department have been purchased, and the gymnasium fairly well equipped. Three well lighted and cheerful rooms connected by archways constitute the home of the library. The library now con¬ tains choice periodicals annually costing more than $200 and about six thousand careful ly selected volumes, many of which have been catalogued. A Manual 1 raining Department has been added and well equipped. This is located in the basement of the training school. A Department of Domestic Economy, with a -crying room, a kitchen and dining room has been added. The Training School consists of a kindergarten and the eight grades below the high school. To the 9 grounds have been added another block 300 by 400 feet, purchased by the state. I he city vacated the street between the two blocks, for school purposes, so that the school grounds arc now 400 by hSo feet. Eighth Street upon which the grounds face has been graded and packed, and a cement walk and retaining wall built. 1 he grounds arc to some extent ornamented with dowers, shrubbery’ and trees. (There is still room for improvement.) It contains a tennis court, a play¬ ground and a school garden. The school has gradually acquired some choice works of art. In addition to those purchased by the school, each senior class has presented to the school some work of art at the time of graduation, for the past twelve years. Some of the elementary classes and the Treble Clef have also remembered the school in this way. The Y. . C. A. maintains an organization, has weekly meetings and interesting discussions and keeps in contact with the Northwest Conference by sending delegates to those meetings. Considerable interest is manifested in athletics by the girls and boys. The former have several basketball teams, and enjoy tennis and other outdoor amusements, while the boys indulge in basketball, baseball and football, and their records demonstrate the fact that they are by no means to be despised as contestants. The faculty consists of nineteen persons, eight men and eleven women, and a librarian is employed Class work begins at 8:30 A. M. and ends at 4 I’. M. The enrollment this year at this time ( March 23 ) is two hundred thirty-five, thirty-four of this num¬ ber being men and the remainder w omen. They represent twenty counties of our own state, the states of Oregon, Idaho. Minnesota and Missouri.’and Canada and Japan. About sixty live at the Normal dormitory, about twenty-five at the Club 1 louse, and the remainder board in private families, do light house-keeping, do service in families for board and lodging, or reside here. The present senior class numbers thirty-four and the junior class sixty. Some of our graduates are mar¬ ried, some are dead, some have entered other professions, but a large percentage of them are engaged in teaching ill our state. 10 OrKicE OP TUE President I ‘ k ►: s 11 � : n t W.

And well they might, the past week had certainly been a strenuous ne. but now that the examinations were all over; each student felt that he was at liberty to forget much of the knowledge that he had obtained dur¬ ing the hours between 7:30 P. M. and 2 A. M. just prior to this date. He was not nearly so depressed and was prepared to take up life where he had dropped it two weeks before. Friday was Student’s day. The one day of the year when the students reign supreme, and the Faculty members arc given a chance to see themselves as others -ee them. Each class was conducted by one of its members, but as soon as the hand- of the clock ixiinted t � 11 : o V M. each student betook himself to the assembly hall and was there on time. It was a long and eager wait before President Charles Newton (Mr. Wilson), in President Ben Rader I Mr. Morgan). Lewis Cruzicr 1 Or. Munson 1. and ro . Roy Rogers (Mr. I-razee), cheered the rostrum by their presence. One otu ' ' tin r faculty members arrived, so that bv 11 14s a very respectable row of knowledge stretched across the platform. The exercises were conducted as usual.

Miss Kilmore: Mr. Newton, do you remember that boy I sjioke to you about? Well, if I were that boy ' s mother I would drown myself or the boy. And I ' m no saint either.” Miss Montgomery: “Never mind Miss Kilmore. you will wake up and find yourself in heaven yet. Dr. Geraldine Mcssick (Dr. Harris) holding the chair of English and Liter¬ ature. found this an opjx rtune moment to ask the students if they would please stop rattling the seats and playing with their pencils, and in order to give strict attention to the speakers look at the pupils in their eyes. Mr, Sam Rugg (Mr. Klcmme) Psychology and Education, who is also carry¬ ing on a wholesale business in post cards, announced that he had 12,357,642.932 post cards for sale. idling to avoid the trouble of signing so many excuses for tardiness, said to be caused by too frequent trips to the postoffice, he proposed the effectual remedy, that the book stores had also plenty of one cent stamps for sale. So now the students could write post cards during class, buy their stamps in the building, and mail them in the mail box on the corner after each period. The assistant in the training department. Mr. Alliert Roy Chapman, (Mr. Potter) came from the audience anil announced in a melodious voice—Mr. Chap¬ man always runs up and down the scale while talking—that he had eccepted the U. of W. basketball boys. Miss Helen Bryant (Miss Hunt ) consoled the students by saying that she was sure we had some future Millets. Raphaels, Remingtons and Whistlers in our school, as some of them had already shown their talent by attempting to make lead pencil frescoes on the class room walls. Mr. Lee McManus (Mr. Whitney) the teacher of elementary science and manual training, apologize! 1 for attempting to speak u|K n so large a subject as The Preservation of our Forests. It reminded him. he said, of a little boy. who when asked by his teacher what a ground hog was, answered Sausage. His subject also wjuld lie very much chopped up. Miss Grace Brown (Miss McDonnell) assistant in English and Latin, gave a vivid picture of a perfect gentleman. A perfect gentleman is now extinct, but some fossil remains can still be found among the normal boys. I he students were next given a nut to crack by Miss Sarah Baldwin (Miss Green ), the observation teacher of the first and second grades. While attempting to relieve her shoe from its heels, she recited. And That’s Where the Bees Came From. Some of us are still puzzled as to what she meant. Miss Lucile Warner (Mrs, Warner) librarian, tripped softly forward and agreed with one of the former speakers that great things had come to pass in the the library uncharged and unaided. 21 Training departtiwit pokc ' las Mr’Hofack ' mai h ° “ Pri ' i| “ l ° f ca.io„ if JL No.” hlu W Z IT ' ? “ « M “ - Wn, ho. ,obuih, . ho,,,-,a girt. dnmraiic. ££ A.

Kletnme made an address on the above subject. The following is from that address: Some time ago this familiar quotation came to my notice: “For every evil uriler the Min There is a remedy or Ihere is none; If there is one try and find it. If there is mine never mind it. From this stanza 1 get the suggestion of the subject—work and cheerfulness. If the problems of life have a solution vc should try and find it—work. If there is none never mind it—cheerfulness. I am glad these two words apjiear together. One assists the other. A cheerful mind is a busy one. A happy person is one who has an active hand guided by a cheerful spirit. Work has ever been nature ' s motto. It has taken eruption after eruption to pile up mountains. It has taken centuries for nature to produce the perfect flower. The earth is the result of millions of years of development. Later, animals are found upon it. and ages after man appears in all his perfection. Carruth beautifully expresses this thought when he says: A fire mist and a planet, A crystal and a cell. A jelly-fish and a saurian, And caves where the cave-men dwell; Then a sense of law and beauty. And a face turned up from the clod. Some call it evolution. And others call it God. Young |H-ople sometimes think that success is mere chance; that fortune conics to tlic calm and inactive; that fate will open the future and reveal the way to fame and honor. If they do not find it so then they are apt to complain with the man in the story who insists that he “hain’t hed no show.” If opportunity comes it will In- the result of effort, not of hoping; of activity, not of dreaming. Fenny son ua crossing the F.nglish Channel from France to his native land— Knglatid. lie was standing on the deck as the sun was sinking in the west The stem- that met his eyes was beyond the description of a Dickens or the skill of a Raphael. I he clouds were ever changing as the rays of light were refracted into prismatic colors through the various strata of air. Below him were the placid water- of the channel, reflecting the beauty of the scene above and adding grand- rat is beyond description. The scene was an inspiration and Tennyson ati n« it fade away until color was no longer visible, then the poet returned to h s rooms and wrote the beautiful verses which begin: Sunset and evening star And otic clear call for me I A, ’d n «a.v there lie no moaning at the liar, “ ben I put out to sea. 2 3 That poem was written in a few minutes, but it was not an extemporaneous effort. Tennyson had been thinking those thoughts for years and all his prepara¬ tion was brought to bear upon this effort. The scene merely arranged the thoughts in a new manner. One cannot tell the amount of effort required for a particular production. The great artists conceal all the art. bunker Hill Monument stands ujxm fifty feet of solid cement. Patrick Henry came from the rear of the room in the ir- ginia Assembly and under the inspiration of the moment delivered that oration which every American school-boy knows, ' T repeat it sir, we must fight. but the youthful orator had delivered similar productions in the woods many times before, when there was no one to hear save the birds. Bryan took the Democratic Convention at Chicago by storm when lie delivered that speech in which he said. “You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify mankind upon the cross of gold. but these thoughts had been given to the people of Nebraska on numerous occasions. Success comes to any one who can pay the price. Some one has said that genius is ninety-nine per cent perspiration. Turner, the great painter, when asked for the secret of his success replied: “1 have no secret, only hard work.” Webster said, All 1 have attained of success is due to energy, not genius. Thanatopsis was written one hundred times before it was given to the public. George Eliot tells us that she wrote Middlemarch in her youth. She wrote it as a young woman. She revised it in parts during her later life. And when she presents it to the world she says: I give-you a volume that is the product of my whole life ' s effort. A youth ap¬ proached Angelo and said: “I would like to l c an artist, of what can you assure me? “Well. said the artist, looking up from his work, if you give me twelve vears of your life. I may be able to make you an ordinary workman. Not much encouragement for the get-success-quiek youth. Labor can make five dol¬ lars worth of iron into ten dollars worth of horseshoes, or one hundred eighty dollars worth of knives, or six thousand eight hundred dollars worth of needles, or two hundred thousand dollars worth of watch springs, or four hundred thousand dollars worth of hair springs. If you expect to succeed in school life, work. If you hope to win in life’s school, work. but a more pleasant side of our subject is cheerfulness. Wc should work, but we may smile as wc work. “Laugh anil the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone. This dear old earth must borrow its mirth. It has trouble enough of it own.” It ' s a great waste of time to worry—smile. Frowns mean defeat. Clouds darken, sunshine brightens. Cheerfulness helps us physically. It increases the heart action. It encourages deep breathing. It produces clear thinking. It gives appetite. It reduces doctor bills. It buys opera tickets. Cheerfulness sends the blood coursing through the veins and arteries, giving a glow to the check, a brightness to the eye. a quickness -4 to the step, a beauty to the face, and force and vigor to the whole body. Someone has said. “A cheerful heart doth good like a medicine.” A physician turning to friends that surrounded a sick bed. said. 1 have three things to recommend: ti rs t, cheerfulness; second, cheerfulness; third, cheerfulness. 1 somehow admire a fat matt. He ' s so jolly. 1 have never found a fat man who was really cranks. I don ' t know what relation there might be between adipose tissue and cheerfulness, hut they are. no doubt, near relatives. Arc you homely and want to be better looking?—smile. Are you good looking and want to improve?— smile. The State Su] crintendent of Michigan has said that only good looking school teachers shall be given certificates in the future. He tells us that it would he enough to produce insanity to compel a hoy to sit day after day and look into the face of an ugly teacher. Teachers must have a bright eye. a cheerful expression, a pleasing smile, a neat appearance—in short, be good looking, before they are given permission to teach. Cheerfulness helps us mentally. Harrison was never lonesome, although in jail, For, said he. 1 have ever present two jolly companions—a clear con¬ science and a cheerful mind.” A teacher of niy acquaintance gave me a new use of the word, sunny. It was—sunny flays, sunny disposition, sunny hoys and girls. She was a living example of sunshine, and her room reflected her disposition. We ttiay get a lesson from the old woman with two teeth who was thankful that they were opposite. There is a bright side and we should find it. Cheerfulness has another use. It helps others. One of Riley’s poems ex¬ presses the thought. “When a man ain ' t got a cent, an’ he’s feeliu’ kind o’ lilue. An’ the clouds hang dark an ' heavy, an ' won ' t let the sunshine through. It ' s a great thing. O my brethren, for a fellow just to lay His hand upon your shoulder in a friendly sort of way. A cheerful look and a jolly disposition invite friendships. Laugh and the girls laugh with you, weep and you ' ll go away hack and weep by yourself. Boys take notice. The West is a great place for boosters. There is no state in the L’nioti like Washington, and no city in the state like F.llensburg, says the booster. A ltoostcr writes a letter home. She says: We have the best location for a school, the finest weather, the prettiest scenery, the smartest pupils, and the licst looking fac¬ ulty in the state. She is willing to help others. It ' s the true Normal spirit, and il ' s catching. Take a group of these boosters out on a picnic, anil after they return hear them talk. We had just the jollies! time, the breezes were so cool, and the boys so courteous. And the dinner! I never tasted such sandwiches in my life. And the cookies and the meat. 1 do wonder who planned for that lunch? Those Domestic Science girls I ' ll bet you. 1 wish wc would go again! Work is essential to success hut closely associated with it we should find cheerfulness. Have a cheerful disposition. Cheerfulness gives a healthy body. It gets music from the waving trees, the pattering rain, or the murmuring brook. H gives new licauty and purpose to life. It will help you on the road toward use¬ fulness in this life, and give you an inheritance in the life to conic.

Just as I was stepping on board the train, an airship gracefully alighted above the rear platform. A whiskered gentleman stepped down from it and ran up to me. “Miss—? he inquired. I nodded. “No doubt you have forgotten me, but since we studied balloons in Physics 1 have made a wonderful invention. A number of people are going with me to attend a Better Air Transportation Con¬ vention in San Francisco. He handed me his card and with astonishment I read: Mr. Carmen Woods, President of the New York Puget Sound Air Trans- portation System. hen I was inside the train again I noticed how beautiful the furnishings were. The parlor car was equipped with a baby grand piano and the train (although it went at the rate of 120 miles an hour) went so smoothly that the 26 rs could dance upon the polished floor. I was told that the inventor of the engine which carried ns so smoothly was Ray Stenger and that the interior decorations of the car were planned by Harriet Taylor, the best known designer in America. When I was jwssing through a small country ' town in Idaho I came to a field „i strange plants. Some of them had long feelers which kept constantly lashing the air in search of food. 1 was about to turn away when a sign caught my eye: Professor Francis Keller, Professor of Plantology. 1 hurried up the walk until I came in sight of a large house, and there in the doorway stood the Professor himself. He explained to me that the ugly plants I had seen were used as a means of getting rid of undesirable citizens. The first afternoon that I was in Montana I visited the “Jolly Old Maid ' s Club. _in I-—• Here 1 found Elsie Hamilton as president. Most of the old maids were driving in their electric auto, but Cleofa Champey and Alferctta Curlass, were there and I had a nice chat with them. They told me that Ella Berg and Ella Slingsby, who had always been v ery delicate ( ?) had gone to Mars for their health. Also that I -aura I.ambson had a candy factory in New York. I.ater while in St. Louis I attended a great piano recital. When the j crform- er appeared upon the stage it w as none other than Gladys McFarlane. While 1 was lunching in a restaurant in the same city, a very stylish lady came in and sat at my table. My eye caught a name on her hand bag: Miss Fema Banks, See. National Suffragette Union. She said she had seen several of the old normal bunch lately. “Edna Sadler is teaching school with a pupil of one,” she commented laughingly. And so is Beulah Streubin. The latter rules poor William with a stem hand. Laura Sheldon is teaching Latin at Yassar. Oh Yes and Elaine Felch (who never did like mathematics) invented a machine that could do any problem no matter how difficult. She thought to make a name for herself but a young man came along with a ready made one so that she took that.” And Emma Cook,” I asked, is she still looking for a man ?” “No, she gave up the hunt and is teaching school out west somewhere. In Boston I was just in time to see Marie Gilbreath starring in. “Love in an Airship. On my way home 1 learned that Miss Finley was running a large orphanage. When 1 reached Rllcnsburg 1 was surprised to see Archie McDonald as chief instructor in Arithmetic and Algebra in the normal. Also Marguerite Heraity as chief instructor in Domestic Science. She told me that the work was so much easier since they had installed new electric stoves. The next morning 1 visited the school again and the principal kindly showed me all over the new additions. He pointed out the new gymnasium and the girl ' s and boy’s dormitories. But with all these improvements to our town,” he con¬ cluded, our streets are not paved yet.” 27 SECOND YEAR Motto Four Mori-: Years of Cares, Then tiie Top of the Normal Stairs.” YELL “Hi diddle dee!

A. rooms, when six of the faculty and many friends of the class attended. About fifty Were present. The room was decorated in green and white, and the class flowers, white chrysanthe¬ mums. The class will not soon forget our mishaps; how we burned the cocoa, and how we had no knife to cut the cake, and how some became adept in using forks for ice-cream. But we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves playing Three Deep,” Musical Chair. “Hot potato, ami other juvenile games. One of the never-to-be-forgotten events was a sleighriding party and a hot supper at a hospitable farmhouse, one cold night in January, ' when we were all 29 snuggled down in a big bob” and sang songs on our eight mile ride. We played games and ate supper with our kind hostess, then started back. The class will always remember that ride home—how it snowed and how we were nearly over¬ turned. and how we arrived in town in the early Sunday morn, tired, happy and sleepy. The class president held one meeting at her home, where the officers were elected for the last semester: Hilda Grimn, president; Will Tierney, vice-presi¬ dent; lie mice Hosfelt, secretary; Marvin Roark, treasurer. Here many of the class ate so much fudge, that they were in a dangerous condition for days. Re¬ freshments were served at a late hour. The new officers entertained the class, the basketball team, and a few friends, on a Saturday night after one of the ball games. Many games were played and a supper of sandwiches, coffee, and cake was served. The features of the evening were a tug-of-war between the basketball team captain and the manager, and the tall football captain’s standing on his head. 30 Second Year L ' ouplui: Class iSnll (Call of thr IJrar Slrmrutaru (Class Sally Stwally.— Beloved by all who know her.

There is something familiar about him. Whom have I seen wear a pink carnation before?—f If course, it ' s Mr. Selle. Soon a very verbose conversation takes place, during which he tells me he is at present employed as cartoonist for the Review of Reviews, and is assisted in this work for life by Miss Lily Norling. He also tells me he visited Mr. Louis Urozier in Australia, who just now is enjoying a great literary career, having lately received a first prize, namely, a trip to the North Pole, for his last book entitled How to Become a great De¬ bater.” Talking about the various members of our class he says. “Miss Lucile Warner lives in Denver, Colorado, and is president of the Woman’s Suffrage Club of that city. She is assisted in this work by the Misses Margaret Rest. Jessie Aspin- wall. and Annette Rehmke. At present they are busy preparing for a street parade which is to take place the latter part of next month.

They tell me they taught school over fifteen years and having found it a poor occupation by which to keep a bank account, they have taken up this work instead. I have a very pleasant visit with them. They direct me to the best hotel in town, known as the “Bloom and Wright Hotel’. At the hotel am royally received by the two hostesses, who do every thing they can to make my stay pleasant. In the afternoon I visit thc City Library. At the door I meet thc Librarian, Miss Mary Heraty. She is the same dear Mary, regardless of the change rears have wrought. She asks me if 1 remember the Fourth Year Class of nineteen hundred ten at thc Washington State Normal School at Ellensburg. and if I have seen any of the members since then. She says we certainly have a very noted class. Then shc shows me a magazine entitled The School Teachers’ Consolation. edited by Miss Wiclcstrum Co.. Minneapolis, Minn. Miss Arcic Wright lives in Oxford, Ohio and is busy writing for the Pretty Girl’s yuc-tx. Page in the Ladies Home Journal. She is doing this as pastime, hirty-two years of school teaching having left her a nervous wreck Miss Heraty informs me that Miss Flossie Pickering is in the city attending the eachcrs Institute. In thc reading room whom should I meet but Flossie Thirty years of teaching certainly have changed her from thc Flossie of the l-ourth ' 1 ear Class. She says she has taught in the Novelty School House on thc hill ever since she left the Normal. Just now she is busy preparing a speech Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child. which she is to give in a meeting this evening. She asks me if I have seen the latest Salt Lake Herald. Under thc social notes ,s a paragraph saying that Miss Lcola Damon has married a Methodist minister and both have left their home in Salt Lake City. Utah, to go on a mission to China. 1 he same pa, cr states that Mr. Francis Motovama has ln-cn sent as the Japanese embassador to Washington. D.

Just as Miss Belle Hoover, the leading lady, was making her debut. I felt someone touch my shoulder. I looked up and there stood my room-mate: W ell. Anna, let us go to bed.

They came here to provide themselves for the future, to obtain all that was offered them. This settlement was located oti a knoll, a little above the base. The people who formed this small settlement did not all come from the same locality. Some came from west of the high mountains, some front the east, and some came from small settlements within the valley. As they arrived, bringing with them the necessities for their life here, and a few luxuries, they felt a thrill of pleasure as they surveyed the land which was to be theirs, which they were to gain by work and toil. This land lav there before them, why would it not be as easy to obtain the title now as later? P� ut they knew well the laws and these laws granted them tile title only when they had earned it. 42 They Helped each other to establish themselves, and as each tree fell, while clearing the land, a bit of satisfaction crept into their lives. The first year they did little more than to prepare themselves for the next year ' s work. In the fall of 1906, we find some new settlers in the community ' , some of the old ones had returned to their homes, where the tasks would be lighter, but all the people who made up the settlement worked together with one purpose. in 1907 we see this settlement slowly growing into a village, and becoming more specialized, each one developing a taste for a certain work, while in 1905 each one could do a little of everything in a rather poor way. Now. if one wanted a picture drawn, he took that work to the artist of the settlement. After the first hard work was over, social events came into their lives, picnics on the hills, and a sleigh riding party in the winter. In 1908 the village was found to lie a thriving town, eager to progress. Every¬ body worked together to make it beautiful and attractive, and many other people came to join them in their efforts. On the twenty-second of February ' . 1909. the largest social event of the town was given, in honor of George Washington ' s birthday. People came from the neighboring towns. Those who had been there, in the old settlement days came back and it was a glorious affair. In the Fall of 1909 we find what was once a small settlement, now a large city. People flocked into it like birds, everyone anxious to seek his fortune in it. and it is prophesied that in one more year it will be the largest city in the State Normal School. This city which we have watched grow from so small and crude a settlement, is the Junior class of the Washington State Normal School, and wc feel proud to think that it will stand as firm as any city which has gone through these steps of progress.

They in leaving give this warning; Listen to the words of warning From the lips of 1910: “I have left you useful knowledge. Be you safely guided by it; 1 have given you songs and legends, I have given facts and wisdom . Why then are you not contented ? Why then will you haunt each other? 1 am weary of strife and class tights Weary of your struggles for vengeance. Of your wranglings and dissensions All your strength is in your union.

Kathleen Lynch. 59 Jiftu $fars nf Jrngri ' HB )ROF. J. H. MORGAN ' addressed the student body on the above sub- ; jcct on Jan. 18th. saying that he had selected his matter from a svm- i posium of famous authors. He s]x ke in part as follows: 0 1 “Dr. Eliot’s statement that the world has been remade within fifty years, is a forceful way of calling attention to the vast progress that has been made in various lines during that ] criod of time. Very much has been done in the way of explorations both by land and sea. Vast areas in Australia, in Central and South America, in interior Africa, in the East Indian Archipelago, in the Chinese Empire, in northern Asia, much of Greenland, of Alaska and even of the United States, has been explored anti much of it settled and developed. Arctic and Antarctic explorations have been in keeping with those in the more temperate regions. The idea of consolidation has grown, beginning with that of the Italian States into United Italy fifty years ago. A little later came the final unification of our own country. This in turn was followed by the creation of the German Empire; the Canadian provinces have been federated; and the Commonwealth of Aus¬ tralia formed. With the fall of Najiolcon III the Empire of France again became a republic; and in t88y the United States of Brazil was established. The Span¬ iards have been driven from Cuba and a republic established there. Thus has grown the idea of self-government in conjunction with that of consolidation. The progress of Japan as a nation has been remarkable, since she began to leant of Occidental nations forty years ago. Then she was nowhere, now she is every¬ where. Slow-growing Russia will in turn learn from her. Three great emanci¬ pations have oecured within the fifty years, in Russia in 1861. ours itt 18(14, and that of Brazil in 1888; and with the abolition of slavery in Cuba, the institution has disappeared from the Western Hemisphere. Ocean travel has been greatly improved both as to convenience and speed. Fifty years ago one steamer left New York for Europe each week, now three leave daily. Then .the best ship made twelve knots with the aid of sails, and re¬ duced tile time from Europe to America to 16 days, carrying fifty-four first class passengers. The floating palace of today, making twenty-five knots, with twenty times as much tonnage, crosses the Atlantic in four days. Appliances for safe¬ guarding travel have kept up with the developments in sj eed and luxury, with wireless telegraphy as a crowning stone. The naval progress has been equally as great. The old wooden ships with their plated steel have disappeared. The smooth bore guns giving their round shot at a velocity of a few hundred feet a second, and sighted for only a mile have given way to a twelve inch steel gun. loaded, pointed and fired by electrical power, giving its shell of 850 pounds a velocity of 2800 feet a second and sighted for seven and onc-half statute miles. The rifleman of fifty years ago handled his forty paper cartridges, bit off an end with his teeth, poured the powder into the muzzle, rammed home the ball, primed with a percussion cap. and fired at the smoke of the enemy’s double line of battle a couple of hundred yards away. Now with his magazine of small calibre, he carries two hundred rounds, fires a shot in a few seconds at an enemy more than half a mile away; that is. we shoot five times faster and further than fifty years ago. Beyond this infantry zone the art illery operates, covering any Co area within two or three miles, ami so accurately that a battery can place ten thousand bullets on a ten acre lot in two minutes. Nearly one-third of the accepted chemical elements have been discovered within fifty years. The accomplishments of chemistry as applied to science are wonderful. They have made the licet sugar industry, they have produced steel, thev have made aerial navigation possible by the production of aluminum, they have produced the petroleum business, they have enriched our soils, they have purified our foods, they have produced the entire field of preventive medicine and sanitation. The treatment of diseases has been revolutionized. The death rate for all ages has been reduced. The average span of life has been increased. All this to a large measure is due to the germ theory. With this knowledge the medical fraternity has been able to attack and overcome some of the most serious diseases with their own weapons, the anti-toxin. Diphtheria, pneumonia, cholera, typhoid, small-pox. do not carry their former consternation. Dangerous fevers of South¬ ern countries have been largely eliminated, and thus new regions opened up for civilization. Hut for it. the digging of the Panama Canal would have been next to impossible. Yellow fever panics arc things of the past. We have learned something of the value of precautionary measures. One discovery, that of anti-septic surgery, has greatly reduced the percentage of mortality in the science of surgery. Many lives today are saved by the sur¬ geons knife in a way impossible fifty years ago. because of blood-poisoning. It is now possible to perform operations upon the inner tissues where before sur- f eons dared not venture. The application of modem anti-septic treatment in the apanese war resulted in a proportion of cures never before approached under similar conditions. Fifty years ago Darwin ' s Origin of Species made its appearance. It has revolutionized the domain of thought. Then but few believed it. Now but few educated persons disbelieve it. It has transformed our knowledge of plants and animals, explained the wonderful succession of life from the humblest beginnings, affected our views of social progress and government, of morals and religion, of every asjiect of life and death. The progress in the educational world includes the Kindergarten, courses in hygiene, physical culture, domestic science, manual training, commercial schools, trade schools, women ' s colleges, professional schools covering engineering, agri¬ culture. pedagogy, commerce, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary practice, forestry, mines, also graduate schools and research foundations. International relations have come to a much higher plane during this epoch. Ue are no longer dreaming of the time when wars will be averted by peace con- rhat time is here. The constitution of the world is being evolved. The nation is too small a unit. The brotherhood of man is being more and more recognized. The world ' s legislature, the world ' s judiciary, the world’s executive, will control the interrelations of all civilized nations. fit A 0tta;t £ hot auii a $imr iExpmuux It was one of those still, cloudless days in June, when the hills seem to float in a purple haze and the ripening grain, swaying in the breeze, is turning from green to gold; when the mustard blossoms by the roadside and the smoke curls upward from the farmhouse chimney; when the fragrance of the sweet-brier in the fence corners and the odor of the newly-mown hay, coming through the still air. Bring you a thought of the orchard trees. In blossomy April and leafy June. And the sleepy droning of bumble bees. In the lazy light of the afternoon, And tangled clover and bobolinks. • Water-lilies and garden pinks.” The farmhouse was long. low and whitewashed. Honeysuckles clambered over it and almost hid the broad, low-roofed porch in which Mrs. Williamson sat stringing beans for supper. From the lower etui of the garden came a clear, sweet voice singing. Mrs. Williamson, leaning forward, parted the vines and called softly, Oh, Dorothy!” I he singing stopped and presently a tall young girl came leisurely up the path to the porch. She moved with the long, swinging step of one used to much walking, with her shoulders thrown back, and her head, with its mass of Haxen hair, held erect. She had caught up the short skirt of her plain blue dress and filled it with yellow roses. One bright bud nodded in her hair. See. Aunt Lucy, aren ' t these beauties?” she said, holding up a great bunch of yellow cow slips. I got them down by Cedar River.” “Yes, deary; your mother planted the ferns and crocuses there too when you were a baby. That was before the bridge was built. 1 guess they ' re about gone wild now. You had better put them in water and then come back; I want you to hear a letter that Silas brought this inorning.” Then, as Dorothy turned to enter the house. Mrs. Williamson adjusted her glasses and took a letter from her pocket. Just to think of it!” she mused; “Evangeline’s baby, grown into a young lady, staying here with me and Silas! Dorothy came back and sank into the hammock. “Now ' . Aunt Lucy, let ' s hear it,” she said, drawing a cookie from under her apron; “I ' m ready for anything.” Mrs. Williamson settled back into her chair and began to read: Mrs. Williamson: -Dear Madam—My friend. Ned Willard, has told me that vour summer home is just the quiet, restful place that I am looking for. and he advises me to ask you to take me in for the summer. Will youI want to ride and fish and build up a good constitution for next winter’s study. I listen to Ned’s glowing accounts of the summers which he has spent at your place, and long to he there myself. Hoping you will let me come, and as soon as possible, I am. Yours sincerely, Willard Chapman. Dorothy was sitting bolt upright when Mrs. Williamson came to the end of the letter. Her eyes danced. “Oh! Oh!” she cried. “That must be the Wil- lar.l Chapman that brother Ned is always talking about. You’ll let him come won t you. Aunt Lucy? He’s in Ned’s class at college. I’ve never met him. bui mother has and she likes him; and when she and Ned and father come we’ll have such jolly times.” Mrs. W.lliamson covered her ears ami shook her head. “Dorothy! Dorothy | she said don’t talk so fast. It’s already decided to let him come, if you don’t mind. Silas thought he would lie so much company for Ned.” ” es.” Dorothy assented, “he will be company for Ned. But Ned won’t be here before the middle of August, and until then he will be company for me. ’ ls e wcre a K ' r • When can he come, Aunt Lucy ?” • ' Oh. any time. He seems to be ready now. I’m going in to put these beans ■m for supper.” An,! Mrs. Williamson left Dorothy swinging violently in the hammock. A long. hard, level road, arched with elm trees, crossed Cedar River at right angles and led through meadows of grass and clover. A pleasant-looking young man on a big chestnut horse rode slowly toward the river. He was pale and worn, as ,f from much study. He leaned on the pommel of the saddle and stroked his horse s neck. •kameses. old fellow.” he said. “I see a bridge ahead. I’ll bet it crosses that beautiful river Ned told me about. If it ikies, we’ll have a drink.” I he horse picked up his ears and moved forward at a quicker pace. The 64 young man turned him from the bridge and rode down into the water. He threw the reins on his horse’s neck and took his hat off. I he swift clatter of horse ' s feet made him turn quickly in the saddle, to see. dashing across the bridge, another rider. A woman in bloomers, by the shades of our grandmothers! he gasped, as she disap peared among the trees by the roadside. “Come. Hameses. we must be moving. Its a long, long lane that has no turning. It can’t be much farther, at most.” An hour later Willard Chapman rode slowly up the lane to the barnyard gate. Dreaming. Dreaming of you sweetheart I am dreaming. Dreaming of days when yon loved me best. Dreaming of hours that have gone to rest. Dreaming. Dreaming, love ' s own sweet message I ' m bringing, Years have not changed, the old love still remains. Dreaming.” Willard Chapman leaned front his window and listened. Clearly the words cante to him through the still air. That ' s Dorothy Pooler singing, all right. She ' s down there where they ' re churning, too. 1 guess I ' ll go and ask for some buttermilk, he soliloquized, starting for the door. As he neared the spring-house lie heard Dorothy saying, Shall I get the clovers for the table now. Aunt Lucy?” and when lie heard Mrs. W illiamson ' s assent lie stopped to pick a rosebud and leisurely adjust it in his buttonhole. “Good morning. Miss Pooler. he said, with his best smile, when Dorothy appeared. “You rival the lark for early rising. Even the sun isn ' t up yet. You are mistaken.” she said, pointing to the east, where the rim of the sun just showed above the hilltops. The sun is up. and it is day. Tile dew is on the flowers gay. I ' m going for some clovers. Would you like to go along?” Nothing would suit me better, lie replied. Let me carry the basket. Willard led the way to the orchard, where the clover grew knee-deep. Thcv began to pick the long-stemmed red blossoms. You are in luck, my boy. Will thought. “Started out for buttermilk and found yourself in clover. This country seems to be a great place for flowers; I saw quantities of them as 1 rode along yesterday,” he remarked to Dorothy. She nodded brightly. “Yes, and I ' m a crank on botany,” she said. 5 “You ought to see a place two or three miles up the valley. The river runs through a gorge, and the hanks are just covered with maidenhair and wild flowers.” “Is there a waterfall?” he asked, eagerly. Waterfall!” she echoed. There are two, and just below the big one a rustic bridge crosses the river. Oh. it ' s beautiful. 1 am very glad to hear that.” said Willard, liccausc they will make such line views. Didn’t Ned ever tell you that I’m a regular kodak fiend?” No, he never told me that. Dorothy answered. But our basket is full; we must hurry or we will be late for breakfast. The numerous hobbies which Willard an 1 Dorothy had in common made them very congenial companions. She was always welcome on a fishing excusion, for she could cast a line as well as any man. and “knew enough not to chatter and scare the fish away,” as Willard expressed it. They often took long tramps together in the early morning hours, or spent the afternoon on the river, taking turns at reading aloud from some book in which they were both interested. Wher¬ ever they went the camera was sure to go too; and Dorothy laughed in her sleeve to hear Willard talk with importance about “cloud effects.” “concurrent lines,” “light and shade. and other hifalutin themes thoroughly understood ( ?) by amateur photographers. One afternoon they sat on the steps of the porch, Willard assorting pictures that he had just printed, Dorothy arranging pressed flowers in a big book. Here ' s that picture of Johnny taking down the bars.” Willard said, as he held a picture toward Dorothy. She’s the trickiest mule 1 ever saw, but that ' s one time she got caught.” Didn ' t keep her out of the corn-field, so I don ' t suppose she cared much even if she was caught. Dorothy remarked, patting a big spotted flower down in its place. Here ' s somebody who did mind being caught, he replied, holding up a picture of Dorothy in which she was vainly trying to loosen a thorn that had caught in her sleeve just out of her reach. It was a mean trick for you to take that. Standing there and telling me to look pleasant instead of coming to my aid as you ought to have done!” It ' s one of the best I ' ve taken oi you. just the same; the lights are almost perfect,” Willard commented as he laid it in the box and shut the lid. Where did you get those. 1 ' he asked. 1 haven’t seen anything like them around here. They grow about six miles from here on the old Lansing road,” she answered. 66 ' •Have you been out that way yet ? No ? It leads to the trail to the spring. That ' s the place for scenery. You ought to go over it with your camera.” By the way, that reminds me, Willard ejaculated. “Have you ever met a woman riding astride and in bloomers? Wide felt hat. you know. Rides a grey like Mr. Williamson ' s Dick? No, said Dorothy, looking up innocently. I never met her. Why? Because I got a fine snap-shot of her yesterday on my way back from the spring. You did!” Willard nodded. You see. I have seen her before. She puts me in mind of a cowboy going like the wind. She don’t seem to care for the roads, but rides right across country. 1 caught her yesterday just as her horse was jumping a log. and 1 tell you it ' ll be a dandy. You will think so, too, when volt see it. I wouldn ' t have missed it for a dollar. It will be a valuable addition to my gallery of summer girls and campers.” Before he had done speaking Dorothy had risen, the very picture of indig¬ nation. “And you took her picture in that rig without her knowing it? You ought to be ashamed! I dare say she wasn ' t expecting that some unscrupulous young man would take advantage of her not knowing of his intentions to obtain a picture which he could not have had with her consent. And Dorothy sailed into the house, leaving him staring after her in utter astonishment. By jingo! he muttered. I wonder what made her Hare up like that? Dorothy did not appear at the supper table that evening, and Willard told Mrs. Williamson that he intended to spend the next day in the bills and wished to start very early. Where’s Dorothy? Mr. Williamson asked. She went down to cousin Lydia’s with some eggs. Mrs. Williamson replied. “She said she was going to stay to supper.” Willard started off next morning with a lunch, a book, and his camera, but instead of turning his horse toward the hills he took the road leading down to the river. I ' ll to � y nook by the fork. lie thought, and wait till Ned comes to go over the trail. He rode briskly and reached the forks before the heat of the day. After tethering Rameses in a group of saplings on the bank he made his way to his nook, which was nothing more than a huge limb hanging over the water. With the aid 67 of ropes he had made it a sort of hammock, where he might rest at ease. He had eaten his lunch and settled dow n to reading when he was startled by the splash splash, splash of a horse walking in the water. He looked cautiously out through the leaves. “Well, I ' ll he hanged if it isn’t that peace disturber again! he thought. I wish she would turn—” He sank back among the branches. Oh, kick mj somebody, kick me, do!” he gasped. “It ' s Dorothy herself. He lay quite still. Confound it all! he muttered; “no wonder she got mad. That evening Dorothy met him as pleasantly as usual. I’m sorry I was cross yesterday,” she said simply. “Never mind.” he answered, taking her proffered hand. It was my fault. And do you know,” he added, with a twinkle in his eye, I accidentally broke that plate last night while trying to develop it.” G.

Sam Rum, an Oregonian who held the chair of quarter-bark for the season Of e and 09, to say nothing about invincible line men that lined up against us on the second After receiving their signals from Coach Totter and running signal practice for two weeks the team was ready to make its debut. The noble sons of North Yakima had circu 3 ™ mor ' vcr c prepared to get our scalps, so they were challenged without further delay. The day set for the execution of vengeance on this tribe, that had so dared to trespass on the betterment of onr gridiron, was October 9. The students turned out - oo strong. the day was ail ideal one and the cheers that rent the balmy air could be heard for miles. With a rush the normal learn charged their line, and time after time made the required yardage. But this was too slow a means for gaining ground, so Jim securing the hall by a well directed forward pass from the arm of his fellow back-held man. proceeded amid the shouts of the crowd on the side lines, and skillfullv picking his boles through the enemy s line, ran for a forty yard gain and a touch down. Stubbs kicked an easy goal ami the score stood 6 to o in our favor. In the second half this act was repeated, and the hack held men found that our guards were producing life si km I holes through the enemy’s line. It was an easy (natter to plant the pig skin between the goal posts of the enemy, despite the fact that their line was.being stubbornly held by eleven men Stubbs failed to kick goal and t ie game ended with the hall in our possession and well down in the enemy ' s territory, and che score stood 11 to o in our favor. The girls took mercy on the defeated players anti entertained them most royally at the dor¬ mitory. so Ihul ’l akima s trip to Ellen si mre was not a total defeat . Iirxt game was two weeks later on the Yakiitui lie Id with the same team. They had 1 I ,,mewhat their defeat, by defeating the E. H. S., one week before: and with Enforcements in their lack field they were figuring on having a walkover with the f ' cdago- r n . l!ut in this they were sadly mistaken, for when the two teams lined upon the new f’ 1 , on ,| u eventful day of October 2J. the battle raged again in all its fury. The first half ' began by the high school kicking off to us. and the ball was advanced for a good gain. V r several line plunges that gave us a chance at their goal. Stubbs was called hack for a •| ' j k |,„ t instead of kieking the hall as Yakima expected he made one of his lengthy forward nissrs into the waiting arms of Walter Allen, who tripped over the goal for a touchdown, Stol� l s kicked goal and the score stood 6 to o in our favor. The rest of the half the hall was w,irked up and down the field by both teams, but neither side made a score. The second half started off well, but Yakima recovered one of her punts on our ten yard line, and by the hclu ,.f their almost frantic school and town friends, the team charged our line time and time again. Our boys fought until the end. but the odds were too much, and Yakima made their only score of the day The remainder of the half was spent chewing the rag, with an occasional scrimmage, and the half ended just before dark with the score standing 6 to 5 in our favor. After a plunge in the pool at the new V M. C. A. building, the team was ushered up to the reception room and a musical program was rendered followed by the serving of refresh- I do not like to tell you about out next game, played with Broadway high on our own field, one week later When the curtain went up for the first act, Broadway did all the play¬ ing. Wc were like the Englishman—it took us about five minutes to see the joke; but during that fatal five minutes Broadway scored ten points. Believe me. after that wr were the whole show in the scoring line. Our team worked the hall down into Broadway’s territory ami held it there, but only once were we successful in crossing their goal line, and then only for the sum of two points, made by a safety This was certainly our off day. Wc were revenged when we met on the basketball floor, hut I must not get ahead of my story After this game wc began negotiations for a game with Tacoma high, the school that won the Championship of the Northwest. But before the papers could he signed the game was railed off This gave us all open dates until the famous annual Thanksgiving game with the E. II. S for the Championship of the Yakima Valley. The game was a rather poor one, front the side lines, because the field was covered with a layer of soft mud, six inches thick. A rather antique style of the game was played I eatt assure you, as the hall would get covered with mud and the making of a forward pass was next to impossible. Straight football was played through the entire length of the game for all the gains hut occasionally we took a chance at a pass. The game ended in a snow storm, but a few ini nil hi fore the last whistle blew Rngg secured the ball on a punt, that was made Io ni brhird the high school ' s goal, and ran it back for a touchdown, Stubbs kicked an easy goal ami wc had once more secured the Championship of the Valley. iBafikrtbaU ju? « rsi t£ s ■ nK r Min, n l ? v,nK - M ' “ a j « � � !

The subject was, should there be two sections, A and It, in which the work should he chosen later, or should there be five cluh , namel Music, Art, Dramatic, Rending, and Writers. At last it wus decided to follow the time honored custom and have the two sections. Section A studied American players and playwriter . Section It plunged teep into the study of China, malting an extensive and interesting search for the hidden glories of the f Mental country. Beginning with the second semester. Section A has studied Louis James and Charles B. Hanford, and the plays in which each of them was ex jure ted to appear in Fllensburg— M King Henry V IN” and “The Taming of the Shrew. ’ Later Modjeska, hrr biography, the plays in which she appeared and her interpretation of the character which she impersonated, was (he center of inter¬ est in this section. Section H has come to this side of the globe to discuss and study 1 ' aciftc Coast poets and writers: Ifigginson, Sam L. Simpson, and Jouc piin Miller. Readings poems and short selections were given of each author ' s unrk. Every two weeks both sections have met together in the assembly hall and have given instructive and pleasing programs. Section A gnve a public program just after the holiduys, the subject, a scene called “Nanny’s Cottage,” taken from the Little Minister.” (Errsrrut IGUrrartf $urirti| The ( rescent Literary Society o| ened its meetings for general work on September 17. The membership was divided into four round tables as usual Few of the old members in the upper classes were hack or (00k part in the activities of the society, but, nevertheless, work was taken up and carried on effectively by the lower classmen. The work of the first semester was confined to a study of the different periodical . Particular attention, in private meetings, held regularly every second week, was gixen to current events, debating, reading, and discussion, while the round-table meetings, held alternate weeks, were mostly taken up uith social discussion. The work of the second semester was greatly stimulates! by the energy and enthusiasm of a new president, and also by the return of a few old members and a change in the policy of the public and private programs. The society at this lime began the study of the writings of modern American authors. Wm. l eun Howells was chosen by round tables I and III, and Francis Hodgson Burnett by round tables II ami IV. A thorough study of their works was found to be very interesting as well as instructive. Two public programs were given as a result, showing a few of the characteristics of each author. One was a lively farce, The (larmiers” ’■elected from Howells, and the other a dramatixation of two scene from Mrs. Burnett’s Dawn of Tomorrow.” This year in the society ' s history is notable for the fact that the enthusiasm has been main¬ tained throughout the whole year. The society has planned to arrange its work and business in such manner that it can be taken up next September and carried on without delay. Ol.IV It I. AN DON 0. W. £. A.

Intercollegiate The year 1909-10 lias been one of the best years the Young Women’s Christian Association has ever had. The meetings which arc held every Wednesday after¬ noon in the Association room have been well attended throughout the year. There have been several special meetings which have been attended by a large percent of the students. One of these w as the Christinas meeting held the last Wednesday before the Christmas vacation. Mr. Lee McManus sang a solo and Miss Housley gave an excellent talk on Christmas Service. Another helpful meeting was observance of the Day of Prayer for Colleges held February 27 at tile Methodist Church. Professor Klemine spoke on Kitth’s Choice. Special Music was given bv a male quartette and Miss Malmstcn, Once each month social meetings have been held. In connection with the Association a Bible Class, consisting of about ten mem¬ bers, has liecn carried on. led by Rev. A. K. Smith rector of the F.piseopal Church. All who have taken advantage of the opportunity feel grateful to Mr. Smith for the time and thought which he has given so freely to this work. Miss Lucy J. Hopkins, the Student secretary of the Northwest, made a short visit here at the beginning of the year and helped in starting the work. 1 -ast summer a large delegation attended the Northwest Conference at the Ilreakers. ashington. They reported the finest time of their lives. It is probable that a large delegation will attend this year. In order to raise this money and other expenses the girls have been busy making W. S. N. S. pennants. These have been kept on sale at the book-store. In all of the activities of the Association an endeavor has been made to spread that spirit of friendliness and good fellowship for which the Y. W. C. A. stands. 77 Cabinet Members Y. W. C. A.

If. according to their past records, they were considered de¬ serving, one of these wise judges directed them to the door, through which they passed down a winding path, beautifully lighted and strewn with (lowers, until they entered the abode of the Queen of the Fairies. The Queen sat on her white throne holding a golden scepter and attended by little fairies, fluttering around like little butterflies. From the royal presence, the guests entered the ball room. But all who were judged bad. were thrust unceremoniously into the dark, infer¬ nal regions. Amid shrieking sounds and appalling fears they crossed the river Styx, then climbed a narrow stairway and slid down a long chute whence the ghosts and witches directed them to the held where they danced and made merry. The ball room was decorated in autumnal colors, and every corner abounded in places of amusement, where those who did not dance, had their fortunes told, saw various wonders, shot at nigger babies and otherwise entertained themselves. In the midst of this gayety lo. darkness prevailed. Silently one by one, in ghost form, the Juniors wended their way around the center of the room, where, in the awful stillness was heard the death knell of the Seniors. Songs and yells were given, then all grew light and merriment held full sway until a late hour, when a delicious lunch was served. Jfmirth tlrar JJartg I he Colonial party given by the Fourth Year class of 1909-10 was one of the iiiost successful ever given in the school. As the guests arrived they were ushered into the library where the smiling butler, amid surroundings which seemed to eommhtee thr ° Ugh the cent,,r,es without change, escorted them to the reception The conunittce consisted of Mr. and Mrs. George Washington. Mr. and Mrs. latt. Mr. and Mrs. Rutledge, I ady Meredith and other noteworthy persons. Having been greeted in a colonial manner by the above mentioned, a Priscilla or a tcnjaimn !• ranklin, in the fashionable colonial costumes, might be found conversing with still more famous characters. About nine o clock all wended their way to the gymnasium, artistically decor¬ ated with flags and evergreen and lighted with Japanese lanterns, liere the guests hrst enjoyed the novelty of the minuet and the Virginia reel. For the remainder of the evening the more modern dances held sway. In an inviting little dining room delicious refreshments were served after which the seventeenth century guests again became twentieth century students. ® IH. (£.

S having gained the consent of him who reigns in the office, at eight o’clock on the following Fri¬ day they assembled in the Y. VV. C. A. rooms. Many there were among them as guests, from the mighty tribes of the .Seniors and Juniors of the High School and even some members of the Barbarian nations nearer home, a few from the influential Juniors and Fourth Years. There were also among them their class teachers who were great friends of the class, not being known as well as the other teachers, themselves being model teachers in the training school. Altogether they feasted, until from their midst all sandwiches, cake, ice¬ cream, and punch had disappeared. Then these youths and maidens, being in a tremendous good humor, made merry until the clock in the High School struck twelve, when all, in peace and quietude, departed, and the halls of the Normal were silent. i rrttal Miss M. C. Hutchinson, head of the department of physical culture and ex¬ pression and Miss Adina Malmsten. head of the department of music, gave a recital in the auditorium Saturday evening, January I2th.

Xo one appreciates more than does the Editor of the Kooltuo the value of sympathetic suggestion and substantial con¬ tribution. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the Faculty Committee and we would not forget those outside of the class who have so generously contributed literary and artistic material. We are also indebted to our advertisers, whose generosity we trust will be like bread cast upon the waters and return to them, in the form of increased patronage from all who love the school. We admit there are many defects, but we have tried. We have cherished ambitions only to see them fade away as mist before the rising sun. But the very effort to attain will have accomplished something, which we trust is not unworthy. May you find here a record of such triumphs and defeats as will increase your love and reverence for Alma Mater. In order to encourage and develop literary talent among the students the Kooltuo offered a copy of the year l ook to the writer of the best story. The prize was given to Gladys McFarlane. the judges being Mr. Ralph Kauffman, Dr. Harris, and Miss Hutchinson. Title—Snap Shots and Time Exposure. Death has visited the homes of several members of our school, both faculty and students. To all these we extend our deepest sympathy in their sorrow— especially to Miss Houslcy and Miss Jellum. Perhaps in no year since the found¬ ing of the School has sorrow touched it so often and so closely. 8 Edilor-tH-Chief Eva Dove Associate Editors Agnes Montgomery Blanche Champlin .

Then two score chastened maids Had gone meekly to bed But one lay awake with Wild schemes in her head. The clock had struck twelve in the entry.

Then two sleepy lassies W ere soon wide awake As all dorm girls are When there’s ‘eating’ to take. The pan, Jane had on the table, A spoon she held out to each one. But when N ' eta had swallowed a mouth-full The trouble had surely begun. For Jane, weak from laughing, Dropped down on the floor And Meta, astounded, Let out one great roar.

Oh well, never mind they are only N ' ormai hoys anyway. The answer was correct. But what are Normal boys? The answer depends upon the manner of classification. From the above reply we would infer that we are gentlemen, polite enough not to resent luring crowded into the mild by a lady. If classified liy nation ably w ' e are Irish. Japanese. French. Scotch, Germans, and Yankees: hv weight we range from bantams to heavyweights; by height we range from pygmies to giants; by complexion we are a dim rainbow. The only single classification that will include all is, They arc only Normal hoys. And that class is a high class of hoys as all who appreciate the Normal spirit will agree. We are much more numerous than we have been in past years.

On the upper floor there are at present four grades, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth, with an average attendance of about twenty pupils in each grade. Departments of Manual Training and Domestic Art and Science are fully equipped anti the students enjoy the work in them. Hemstitched and stenciled curtains for all the rooms, and screens made in mission style on which the written work of the pupils is displayed, arc some of the decorative and useful products of these departments. Special stress is laid upon oral as well as written English ill all of the branches. All excel¬ lent opportunity is given the children along these lines in the weekly assembly meetings, in which the different grades present upon the platform, the work done in the various classes. During the present year German has been introduced into the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. The oral method is used and pupils display the keenest interest. There is a study of Latin in the eight grade for the purpose of giving the pupils who may never attend high school this key to the interpretation of the English language. Music and Art arc under the direction of specialists. A lioys chorus and a girls chorus are doing excellent work and arc very popular in the school. In the year iqio-ll the T raining School will include the ninth grade. This will neces¬ sitate the equipment of a laboratory for science work. The second floor is occupied by the Primary Department of four grades. The floor plan consists of four assembly and three recitation rooms, one clay modeling room, one student reference library, a teacher’s work room and the Primary Supervisor’s office. One of the advantageous features of this department is the opportunity it affords for the observation of teaching as well as the actual practice work. There are two schools of two grades each, taught by teachers specially prepared for this work. A variety of hard work is done by the pupils, such as card board modeling, basketry, sewit ' g, weaving, free hand cutting, painting, and crayon work. They also make mechanical toys, useful Ixixes. cardie stands, and flower trays out of the light woods. The Students ' library fitted with chairs, study table, and writing facilities has added many valuable books of reference this year. 1°5 cilu ' IKiniJmtartnt skis: £ m sjsss ■• r - w,ttstii!ss� h !.w scrfe ■ s craia £ 3 t .
