Ttie old form of the program was dispensed with at this place, and the stu¬ dents were favored by a dialogue given by Miss Agnes Montgomery (Miss Hous- Icy) supervisor of the higher grades, and Miss Alma Killmore (Miss Hoffman) primary training supervisor. 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

fiJnrk anil OlbfrrfulnfflH Prof. F.. ). 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
