He must be strongly Intellectual. Hamil¬ ton. cf whom W ebster once said. He touched the dead corpse of public credit, and it sprang upon its feet, waa a thinker, yet he was not the first American. He must be a statesman. George Washington showed his ability in this line, not only on the battle field, or as chief executive, but even at Valley Forge. Yet Washington from Lowell ' s point cf view does not deserve the title. He must be a man of faith. Nathan Hale was so faithful to his country that he was willing to die for it Hear him as he says, I regret that I have but one life to give to my country. Still Nathan Hale could not be considered first among Americans. He must be a soldier. Montgomery, who turned to his men. before the battle or Quebec and said. Men of New York, you will not fear to follow, where your commander leads.” was a true soldier and patriot. I«ee ana Pickett, and even Arnold, could be classed as American Bpldlers, yet none of these could he given the title The First American. Who is the first American and irom whence does he come? He is not found In Massachusetts with William Llayd Harrison. W endall I hlllips or James G. Whittier. Not from New York with her Horace Greeley or her Peter Cooper. Not from Louisiana with her Zachary Taylor; not from Tennessee with her Andrew Jackson; nor from California with her Le- lan t Standford; nor from the Mother of Presidents with Madison and Monroe- not even from the great state of Ohio with the names of the iamented McKinley and Garfield; but from the state that gave us a John A. Logan, the Black Eagle cf the Rebellion, that gave us a Grant, who by his indomitable will broke the hack bone of the Rebellion, from the Prairie state of the West. Illinois, we have our first American— Abraham Lincoln. ‘Cn the record of thy years Abraham Lincoln s name appears. Grant and Logan and our tears. Illinois, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln was a writer of choice English. Edward Everett lad delivered a two hour oration on the Battlefield of Gettysburg, but after he had heard Lincoln ' s ten sentences he said. I would he Slad � o exchange. This and many other examles could be given of his ability ar a writer hut this has not given him the first place. Lincoln was clever in the use of wit. Douglas once said that Lincoln reminded him of the scripture which says, “O, Lord, how long. Un ™ ' ” answered by saying that Douglas reminded him of the passage which savs. “The wicked shall he cut short 111 his day. e are sadly mis¬ taken If we suppose that Lincoln was a hurmorist. He was serious. He often said, I must tell stories or I shall explode. When he was asked to indulge in stories while debating Douglas, lie said, I cannot, the occasion is too serious.” Lincoln Is often called the emancipator, and there can be no question about his hatred of slavery, yet his paramount thought was the preser¬ vation of the Union. He was not first because or his policy of the emancipation of the slaves, but rather because of his determination in I reserving the Union. In an effort to learn the qualities of his life that made him so strong as a man and executive, students of history scarcely agree. Many, however, agree on four characteristics that stand out prominently. Thev are simplicity, sympathy, energy, and honesty. These are simple virtues, yet they will make famous any one who bears them worthily. The simplicity of his birth is well known. Born as he was In a rude hut in Kentucky, which had the ground for a floor, a thatched roor for a covering, one could expect to find in such surroundings no one but a person who enjoyed the simple life. This simplicity won the common [ 17 1 people. While the aristocracy of Europe was laughing at the state pa¬ pers of the backwoods graduate he always answered, “The people will understand,” and he was never mistaken. Ills deep sympathy was one of his chief qualities. While going down the streets of Springfield during the years when he was a prom¬ inent attorney, he saw a young woman crying. He paused and learned that the train she wanted to take was due in five minutes, and the drayman had failed to come for her trunk. Lincoln placing the trunk cn his shoulder bade the young woman hurry and with Lincoln In the lead she made her connections. Lincoln ' s energy is no less noticeable. He was twenty years old when he had read four books:—Weems Life of Washington, The HiHtory of the United States. Pilgrims Progress, and the Bible. It was hiB energy that caused him to overcome his many diltlculties. Paul said emphatically. “This one thing I do ; Lincoln with equal energy made clear the purpose of his life when he said, “The Union must be preserved.” The honesty of the first American is quite prominent. It is not generally known that Lincoln took back $250.on which he said was an overcharge, although his partner claimed it was paid willingly. Douglas said before beginning the debates, “Lincoln is as shrewd as he is honest, and if I beat him my victory will he dearly won.” Caesar lived, and we have a Roman Empire; Socrates lived, and we have a Uraecian philosophy; Napoleon lived, and liis footstep caused Europe to tremble; Washington lived, and with a handful of troops he laid the foundation of a great nation; Lincoln lived, at a time when seventy million people were separated into contesting groups, state against state, family against family, and he united them Into the greatest nation on the face of the earth. Had the chief executive of this nation been a man with flexible will or with less strength of purpose we might not be enjoying the luxury of a united people as we do today. When Sherman had completed his march to the sea; when Grant had surrounded Lee at Appomatox and after receiving his sword returned it with the statement, Let us have peace;” when the stars and stripes that had not been unfurled to the breezes for four and one half years were again floating over Fort Sumpter unmolested; when the war cloud had been lifted and the sunshine of universal love and peace was spreading its benediction over all the earth, then It was that the shot at Ford ' s theatre sent a chill of horror through the whole nation. Willing hands lifted the first American and bore him across the street to a house that still stands in Washington, where he lingered all night. When the bright rays of the sun on the following morning had kissed the hilltops and was scattered on the grass in the valleys, then it was that the spirit of the Man of Sorrows crossed over the river to rest under the shade of the trees. Stanton, who stood by his bedside, turned from the scene and with tears in his eyes exclaimed. “There lies the man of the age. is Lincoln dead? Ask the Grand Army of the Republic, whose hats come off at the mention of hiB name. Is Lincoln dead? Ask the three million slaves whose shackles fell at a stroke from his pen. Is Lincoln dead? Ask the thirty million school children who will appreciate his great achievement in the future more than we do today. Our purpose should be to take a new inspiration from the life of Abraham Lincoln and Be noble and the nobleness in other men, sleep¬ ing but never dead will rise in majesty to meet our own.” lng but never dead, will rise in majesty to meet our own. —E.

Owing to lack of space we have taken the liberty to give only extracts from It: It was Friday noon and the Seniors were leaving the Education Class. As they passed out there was a confused noise, varying from audible whiR- pers to shrill shouts. The general topic, however, seemed to be, What are you going to do next year? 1 wondered, ' What will they be doing next year, and the next, and the next? The question remained with me as I passed out and sat under the trees on the west side of the building; for in a week school would be over and the class separated, perhaps never to meet in its entirety again. Suddenly 1 espied coming toward me the queerest looking conveyance I ever saw. Its movements were so rapid, as to almost eliminate time. I could see no means of locomotion whatever. It seemed too small to contain any passengers, yet a little old man with white hair and a flowing white beard stepped from it. I have come in answer to your question, he said. Step inside and you will soon know. Thank you, I said as frigidly as I could to one who had such a kindly face sb he. I am a senior and in a few days will graduate. I would not dare to so risk the dignity of the class as to ride in that queer looking machine with a man of whom I know nothing. At this he laughed heartily. “Oh, yes, all of you know me. Some¬ times you see so much of me that you indulge in blues and homesickness; at others, especially near the end of the quarter, I seem so lacking, that you’re nearly distracted. I am Father Time. As for my carriage, it transfers itself rrom one part of the earth to another almost instantan¬ eously, at my pleasure. It completely annihilates space. Now, don’t look mystified, you can ' t understand It and you never will. You mortals will never he able to conquer space nor time. So step in and ride with me a short distance.” Where do you stop and how far may I go?” I asked. I go to the end of time. Our stations are numbered by years. You may not go beyond nineteen hundred seventy-live.” 1 don ' t care to go that far. If you please. I ' ll stop at nineteen hun¬ dred forty. Very well, he said, and instantly I was in a strange land. When you have seen all your classmates here. Just wish for me and I ' ll return to transport you any where you wish to go. In fact, I know w here each is located, said Father Time, as I left the carriage. I decided to visit the House of Representatives in Washington, t . C. I sat down in the gallery. The speaker called the House to order with a deafening crash of the gavel. Then she looked bewildered and said: If Mr. Morgan 1 b in the room, will he please tell me what I ought to do next? I ' ve forgotten my copy of Gregg. Some one rose and said, Speaker buff, If you will cal) upon Representative Dixon of Washington you can find out anything. There ' s nothing about Parliamentary Prac¬ tice she doesn ' t know.” Representative Dixon rose and said, After reading the minutes, call for a motion to expel all members not interested In the subject of cats. Mrs. Myrtle Katzer (formerly Bull) of Katstkan, the founder and presi¬ dent of the International Society for the Protection of FelineB, will speak on ‘The Cat as a Congenial Companion.’ ” • « i didn ' t know just where to go and was wishing for a fa¬ miliar face, when a hand was laid upon my shoulder and a well-known voice said, Well, I’m glad to see you again. What are you doing here? I looked Into the face of Erma Gay and repeated her own question. “I am pipe-organist In the President ' s Church, she replied. They [ 36 ] have been trying to introduce music that borders upon ragtime into the hymn books. The president heard of my destroying alt such books in a great bon-flre in Tacoma and sent for me to work a like reform in Washington, D. C. Seeing no more that would interest me here, I expressed a wish to be removed to some other place. In the same manner as before I was trans¬ ported to Seattle. 1 found Seattle greatly changed so I determined to walk down to Pioneer SQUare. There, near the Totem Pole stood a huge statue of Glenn llogue. Near the foot of it these w-ords were Inscribed: “In ap¬ preciation of the service of our beloved mayor in ridding our city of political graft. June 20, 1939 A. D.” From there I went down to the beach with a paper, hooking up after reading my paper a few minutes, I saw a lady whom I knew instantly to be Bee Griffin, though she looked tired and worn. Are you ill? I asked going to her side. ‘VN’o,” she answered, I am just resting after my year ' s work. I am teaching in the Washington University. Besides that I am inspector of note books. You know I always doted upon them and most of the other teachers despise correcting them. 1 tind I can correct everything from the Greek alphabet to medicine by consulting those huge compilations I made at Ellensburg. Farther down the beach a lady sat under a huge parasol. In her lap lay a pad of paper and a pencil; in her eye a dreamy, far-away- look. She sits that way for hours, waiting for an inspiration,” said Miss Griffin, but it ' s worth while, for Ora Davis is one of the best poets of the day. She composed a sonnet upon “My Inspiration, the Sea. This work proved an inspiration indeed, to Agnes Smith, who is leader of the Symphony Orchestra of Chicago. When they rendered the piece before an immense audience in that city, some were so in sympathy with the theme that they started to remove their shoes and stockings to wade into the surf. I was visiting Mrs. Bessie Winesap (formerly Weythman). You know she married the Apple King of Wenatchee Valley. While 1 v.as there, she took me over to Ellensbnrg in her car. Calling at the Dormitory, we found that Mrs. Arthur was taking a six months ' vacation and Miss Margaret Chambers was in charge. The entire atmosphere of the place was changed. Dinner was in pro¬ gress and absolute silence reigned. Signs were used to express ail wants. One finger meant bread; two, butter; three, syrup, .it inter¬ vals of three minutes waitresses appeared on rubber tired roller skates. I went away hoping Mrs. Arthur would soon return. As we motored back through Mr. Winesap ' s extensive orchards, I noticed a new city where before all had been sage brush. What is the name of this city? I asked. Turnerberg, he re¬ plied. It is named for the man who founded it. His wife used to he a teacher in Washington. She finally made a fortune from the inven¬ tion of an automatic cake-turner. Mr. Turner had founded and promoted this city in the meantime. That large stone mansion on the hill is their home and the building below the tracks is their factory. Take me home, please,” I begged. I want to go back to 1915. It s very wonderful, but I prefer men and women in the process of growth rather than as finished products. Very well, he said, and smiled, but let me tell YOU something, tou are to teach the remainder of your days. I would like to promise you that coveted trip to Owld Erin, but I cannot even do that. It de¬ pends upon your economy and eilort. ' ' “Good bye,” he said as I stepped out. Don’t tell what I ' ve shown you. But when I found myself alone on the bench again, I determ ' ned I would, and without delay. , , SENIOR COMING OUT Who said the Seniors were slow? Well, I should say not. You wouldn ' t think so either if you had been at the Senior Coming Out, which was held the third week of September. Little did the Juniors think, when they were Invited by the Seniors in the assembly to attend a party the following Saturday, that It was to be the Senior Coming Out. After a week of anxiety, Saturday night arrived and so did the Juniors, and they were on time, too. They were escorted to room number “5,” where the Seniors bade them welcome by blind folding them and tieing their hands behind their backs. From here they were led to the Gym. Here they were decked with various tags bearing such inscriptions as “Flunk- isni, Hungerism,” Dumbism, and many others, characteristic of the doomed Juniors. When all the Juniors had assembled in the Gym they were led by their president around the room to the great delight of the Seniors. The last two hours were spent in playing games and eating ice cream cones and animal cookies. At eleven o’clock the party broke ' up and. though tired and sleepy, they all had a good time,—especially the Juniors, who agreed that there was something to the Seniors of the class of 1915. SENIOR MIXER Weren ' t you there? Where? At the Senior Mixer. Well, if you weren ' t you certainly missed a good time. The Seniors kept up their good work from the Coming Out and gave a picnic party in the Gym. What they didn’t have to eat, not even a chef could have mentioned. Although the eats were the main features of the evening, there were games and stunts for every minute. After a pleasant evening they all departed, each one saying, “Well, I ' m glad that I ' m a Senior.’’ [ 38 ] May Burke, Elizabeth Foye. Etta Ellison, Grace Prater, Ava Case.

CLASS TEACHERS Mr. Sparks Miss Hoffman Mias Rankin [ 45 ] THE JUNIOR COMING OUT On Tuesday morning. Sept. 29th, the assembly met as usual. Whisper¬ ed conferences were exchanged among the Juniors, while the dignified Seniors took their seats with anxiety written upon their care-worn counten¬ ances. After the devotional exercises, at a given signal, the Juniors left their seats in the assembly and rushed into the two dressing rooms off the stage. They took possession of the platform to portray a typical recita¬ tion of the Senior class. Dr. Harris (Hilda Meisner), seated at her desk correcting senior papers rpad aloud, “Too han’t got no—the bell has rang—and he has went.” Sighing and shaking her head, “and these expressions from a Senior! At this point a loud noise was heard, and the Seniors came tumbling in, pushing, shoving and quarreling, in their usual spirited way, taking seats next their dearest friends that they might converse with as little effort as possible. Dr. Harris: “Come, seniors, this is our class for general culture and information. I’m so pleased to notice how much you have improved in dignity. The way you came in Just now was such an improvement over the way in which you came to my Urst class last fall. I wish you would notice the Juniors and take them as your example.” The roll was then called, the representation being as follows: Lena Palin (Mildred Hulbert), Mary Huntley (Felicia Perkins), Laura Maglll (Marlon Johnson i, Anna Bell (May Burke), Kathleen Lynch (Laura Hartnacke), Ruth Hide (Mabel Anderson), Peggy Crim (Miriam Blake ley), Nessa Morgan (Elizabeth Koye), Bessie Weythman (Myrtle Town¬ send), Mirriel Watkins (Dorothy Foster), Eva Clabaugh (Marguerite Eagles), Ella Berg (Roma Sartoris). Having observed that all were present except Lena Palin, who had unceremoniously departed arter roll call, undoubtedly remembering some date which she had at this hour. Dr. Harris proceeded with the lesson as follows: Anna Bell, can you tell me what a cat looks like and sounds like? “Yes; it looks and sounds Just like Chester. “Miss Weythman, do you have a class next period?” Miss Weythman (Myrtle Townsend, resplendent in a mass of auburn ringlets borrowed for the occasion): “Yes, Miss Harris, I have Ed, next period.” Miss Lynch, do you know any new songs?” “Oh. yes; just a cousin of mine is one of my favorites. “Ella Berg, can you tell me the advantage of the new ice cream dipper over the old one? “Yes; the new one hasn’t any ‘turner’ in it. Dr. Harris at this point noticed Mary Huntley bothering Ruth Eide, so she said, “Mary, you Otto Lee (ve) Ruth alone.” “Now , students, tomorrow we are going to have a painting lesson. Laura, can you tell me where they have a good supply of paint brushes? Laura: ‘No, Dr. Harris; I really don’t—” here Nessa Morgan inter¬ rupted her and said: “Down at Ball’s they have a good supply. Mr. Rob¬ inson showed them to me. Dr. Harris: “What color would you like to study tomorrow?” Mirriel Watkins: “Ah, I like red best, Miss Harris: do let us paint red.” Dr. Harris: “Eva, can you tell me what happens when you build a fire in a range?” Fva (removing her gum): “Sparks appear. The new lesson being definitely assigned the class rushed from the rocm in that orderly way so peculiar to the Seniors. I fb ] The Juniors now donned their claRS colors In the form of caps, made of old rose and green crepe paper. These caps were so singularly be¬ coming that the Seniors were apparently overcome with envy, judging from their frantic efforts to capture these bewitching pieces of head gear from the Juniors, who murched through the assembly hall, singing their class song to the tune of This is the Life.” “We love the Soph ' s and Seniors, But we are the life, we are the life. We sure can raise the dickens, By the Juniors ' vote, we will get their goat. We love the rough and tumble. Rut the Seniors are slow. No more initiation, we’re for civilization. We are the life, we are the life, We are the life of the school. ’ .Marching back upon the stage, the Juniors made the windows rattle-by a number of well selected yells Singing their song again, thev marched off the stage and gathered in the back of the assembly hall, where they gave a rousing siren yell. THE JUNIOR SLEIGH RIDE In spite of the fact that It was sixteen below zero, and that some people predicted frozen noses and ears, two large bobs full of merry Juniors, chaperoned by Miss Rankin and Miss Baker, gathered at the dormitory on the evening of December 12th to enjoy a sleigh ride. The Juniors did not fail to let the fact be known that they were out on a frolic, for the Trosty air fairly rang with their songs and yells. Arriving at Slow-Corner, the Juniors took possession of the gymnas¬ ium, and two happy hours were spent In dancing: after which doughnuts ami coffee were served, the Juniors declaring them to be the best they bad ever eaten. The tired but happy crowd arrived at the dormlt:ry at eleven o’clock, and decided that they would gladly risk freezing their noses, if they could be assured of having as pleasant a time as they had spent that evening l 47 | SOPHOMORE and FRESHMEN CLASS MOTTO Never do anything today that you can put oft until tomorrow.” CLASS COLORS Old Rose and Grey.

Impatiently, I turned over and was about to con¬ tinue my snooze when the sudden thought flashed through my mind, “Assembly today! No more sleeping after that I dressed hurriedly and rushed downstairs. I did net take lime to breakfast, but snatched my caat and hat and hurried to school. My home is at a distance of nine blocks from the Normal, and conse¬ quently I had little time for loitering. Flushed, and out of breath I reached the building and inquired of the first person I met: “Am I in time for Assembly? She stared at me. It is just 8:30, she replied, “but this happens to be Wednesday. “Thank you! I murmured sweetly and collapsed on the lowest step. When I had recovered my breath sufficiently, I rose and climbed the stairs to my locker, thinking to myself, “Oh, well. I’ll have an extra half hour to glance over my Agriculture lesson again. How I wish I had eaten breakfast! When I reached my locker I felt in my pocket for the keys. Not find¬ ing them, I turned both of my coat pockets wrong side out and instituted a thorough search. I found some string, a piece of chalk, some notes, a stick of gum, a tuhe of paint for stenciling, a clean handkerchief and two soiled ones, and various other articles—but no locker keys. 1 glanced at the clock. There was still a little time; should I go home after the keys or get a duplicate from Miss Hedger? She would probably bawl me out, I reflected, and after losing some valuable time in consideration of the question I went home and reached school again barely In time for the first class. Owing to a headache the evening before, my preparation for the day was slight. In Sociology I awaited a question lu fear and trembling, but Cookie began to ask questions; Mr. Kooken strove to answer them, and soon all the clasE became engaged in a discussion, so I escaped. I knew my Agriculture lesson, so was able to recite on the relative merits of Ayrshires and Guernseys. By this time my headache had returned, and I struggled through the gymnasium exercises, regretting every moment that I had not cut class. I grew peevish” because my partner did not keep step bettor, and won¬ dered what imbecile had invented the intricate steps of the new dance we were trying to iearn. I was greatly relieved when the period was up, and after dressing as fast as I could, climbed what seemed miles and miles or stairs until 1 reached my English class, two minutes late. I sunk In a chair, leaned my aching head upon my hand, and tried to follow the recitation. Presently I realized that everyone was silent «nd looked up to ascertain the cause. The instructress was looking at me inquiringly, so were the students; apparently I had been asked a t.uestmn. My nearest neighbor whispered something quickly and I had “ vague idea that she said: What Is an antidote? Assumlug a knowing look, I said confidently, Something you take when poisoned. Here I was Interrupted by a hurst of laughter, which told me 1 had the wrong thing. Later I learned that I had been asked to give the definition for an anecdote. hll1 ,ff. 1 . was lfiavln K th e building at noon, I happened to glance at the ouiletin board, and there I saw: “Sophomore Class Meeting. Room 11. at 1:15. Important.” I . w ° u,d not hay e time to go home and back, so 1 must go without in Hlo ° F C u mlsR the meeting. That would never do, as I was curious discover the reason for this unusual event. So I spent the time in [ 51 J studying my mathematics, and at the appointed time went up to room 14. The others were slow in arriving, but alter a time a number had as¬ sembled. I soon learned that the purpose of the meeting was to plan a class party. It would have been a perfectly lovely party, 1 feel certain; at any rate, our schemes were excellent, but someway or other the affair was cancelled later. The Sophomores enjoyed (?) a number of these parties during the year. Immediately after the class meeting T went to Arithmetic. As I seat¬ ed myself, Mr, Morgan shoved his glasses a little further down over his nose, looked over them at me fixedly, and said in a tone of profound astonishment; “Oh! A man earned $3.GOO selling goods on a 3 per cent commis¬ sion. Well! How much did he sell? 1 auswereu that all right, but when I was sent to the hoard, 1 dis¬ covered that I had prepared the wrong assignment. However, the gong sounded before time for my recitation, so that was all right too. As usual, we stayed six minutes overtime in the Arithmetic class, so 1 had to hurry up to the Art room. When I reached the last landing I leaned out of the window to call to a friend down below, and as I turned uway 1 dropped my box containing the art materials. They landed with a crash on the ground below—India Ink, crayons, a paint box, a ruler, erasers, thumb tacks, and miscellaneous articles scattered over the lawn. At first I was vexed—I had blundered so all day, and how my head did ache! Then 1 leaned against the wall and laughed til! I was weak. By the time I went down and gathered up as many of my belongings as 1 could find, and climbed the stairs again, I was late. Of course, .Vltss Hunt looked injured, but I felt that 1 was the oue with a grievance, so I did not offer any explanation. I spent the remainder of the period In making a really remarkable design. (Mias Hunt said that she could not tell what it was, but she thought it would certainly be very nice if I would tear it up and throw it away.) I followed lier advice. That is why you did not see It in the exhibit. I still had one class remaining—Hlstor . Mr. Wilson rarely takes the roll, so perhaps I might just as well cut. I lingered, hesitated before the door for a moment, and then decided to go home. Mr. Wilson al¬ ways comes up the frout sairs. so I would go down the hack stairs, and thus avoid meeting him. Half-way down 1 met him, and it was too late to retreat. Coming to History? he asked smiling. “Kr-yes; as soon as 1 get my book. And I did. At the end of the class I went down to the Library, but almost at once Miss Kankln reproved me for talking, so I gathered up my book 3 and went home. And that was only ONE day at Normal. —Mabel Peck.

Dramatic Coach String Orchestra ARGUMENT According to an Eastern romance. The Persian Princess Zobeide ' s horoscope, cast by astrologers at her birth, gave omen that she could not survive the noon of her seventeenth birthday, unless she be kept unmind¬ ful until the fatal time had passed, or should say of her own will that she had mistaken the date. This prediction was, of course, concealed from the Princess, and she. In her Innocence, looked forward with eagerness to the day because, under the laws of the country, she was then to be publicly betrothed to her destined husband, whom. in accordance with court etiquette, she had never seen. As the day approached all arou nd her were filled with anxiety, and many were the devices suggested with a view to securing immunity to the Princess from the fate that threatened her. But how so fully to en¬ gage her attention, that the word “birthday” should not escape her Ups: or how, without suggestion, to lead oer to confess herself in error as to the day. until the fatal moment had passed? By a happy inspiration, it was decided to occupy the Interval between morn and noon with a series of entertainments made up or songs aud dances by picturesque bands of performers engaged for the day ' s pleasure. The Romance goes on to state that the device employed was completely successful in circumventing the danger of the hour so fraught with appre¬ hension to those near and dear to the lovely Zobeide.

At the beginning of the year, the constitution was re¬ vised, the monthly programs customary previous to this year were dis¬ continued and the first meetings given over to open discussion on topics of current Interest. Later It was decided to give informal programs at each meeting. These were very well attended and much enjoyed. When the Student Body was given charge of the Monday Morning Assembly, the (rescents volunteered to take care of one of the programs.

[ 64 ] that the children ol the town have much still coming to them as the result of this little supper. The boards of trustees and the principals of the three .Normal schools of the state met here In Joint session one Saturday in February A few members of the faculty endeavored to prepare a dinner to set before them that evening. Our efforts were well repaid by the joy it gave them They manifested surprise that teachers were such excellent cooks whv should they? The trustees of our school and the representatives to the State Legis¬ lature were invited to join the faculty In a social gathering one evening In January. It was a very Informal and correct affair—nothing stronger was served than doughnuts and cider. On April twenty-second the school was favored by a visit from Mrs. Josephine Preston, our state superintendent of pubifr instruction, and during the day we were treated to severul very good speeches by her In order that the raculty might enjoy her company for a few social hours, and discuss some educational problems of Interest to the state at this time, dinner was made the occasion. We had as guests beside Mrs Pres¬ ton. Mr. Thomason, deputy superintendent; .Vlr. Htibbell arid Mr Flum- merfelt, state representatives, and Mr. Adams, senator. The flow of wit was furnished by many of our visitors and several of the brighter lights of our faculty. As a finale, most interesting discussions arose. All were Icath to leave the merry board even at a late hour. HALLOWE’EN PARTY October 31st brought to us the lime honored Halloween party The traditional Hades had lost none of Its ghastly horrors, and none of Its phantom spirits, own. down, thru dark an I gruesome passages, these J nlor spirits led us, until we despaired of ever seeing life and laughter again. But our fears were dispelled, when we “slid into a dimly lighted and weird ball room, where for two hours Junior spirits clad ill white robes and Senior clowns in red garbs, together with twentieth cen¬ tury mortals representing the rest of the school), tripped the light fan¬ tastic. Not the least of the attractions, that long to be remembered night, was the ghostly dance, performed by several members of the Junior class. When the party Anally broke up, everybody voted the Junior class a suc¬ cess as social entertaiuers.

They scurried to their rooms and bro ' t forth weapons of intellectual conflict. These they lined up along the hall seat, with all good intent and promptly feli to talking and chatting In utter disregard or them. It was not until the dinner hour that we discovered a new talent in our midst. Several of the diners proved expert in making mysterious heads, animals, etc., creep mysteriously along the wall. Artists of no mean ability stepped into the limelight and made amusement far the tables. The following morning saw Mrs. Arthur bearing proudly up from town a whole supply of candles, while the tinsmith was as busy as a popcorn man at a county fair, making shiny tin candlesticks. It is hHrd to state how long Father Winter would have continued to give us the cold shoulder had we not become Indignant at his high handed actions and departed for our Christmas vacation. And on our return we found the pale January sun smiling faintly at us and our cold hearted friend beating a retreat. S ® g HOSPITAL LIST AT MAHAN HALL Patient. Affliction. How Contracted. Cure.

One of the interesting features of this year has been the making of doll houses out of apple boxes and furnishing them. Strange to say, a large majority of the boys chose to furnish kitchens. ( Proof that the way to the heart of even a little man goes by the way of his stomach.) Miss Helen Smith has been Miss Meisner ' s able assistant this year. The Primary Department under Mis Hoffman ' s competent manage¬ ment has as usual been in a prosperous conuition. Miss Hoffman and Miss Cordinier jointly took charge of the serving of noon lunches to chil¬ dren who take their dinner. For three cents a nourishing soup wag served. This was wnolesome for the children and a good existence for the Junior lVs who did the serving. One of the picturesque occasions of the year was the blaster egg hunt, to which the first grade children invited the kindergarten. Miss Uaker has had charge of the first and second grade observation room. This is Miss Baker ' s first year with us. She has done some very- interesting work in art and dramatization. Miss Hardy who has charge of the third and fourth grade observation room is a graduate of our school, and one whom our past and present faculty always speak of with pride because of her beautiful and practical work with children. For Instance, the recent work in arithmetic has centered around the purchase of a camping outfit- Work in geography- lias centered round the planning and taking of trips to various countries. Miss Quigley, our third and fourth grade su| ervisor, has done much live work In her department. The supreme Interest of these classes this spring has been their study of the Indians of this valley. Many pioneer and descendants of the original Red Men have been consulted about cus¬ toms of local tribe . The children made some interesting Indian pottery, and even characteristic Indian music and dances have heen studied. We are glad that Miss Plcken, after spending a few years of study end teaching at Teachers ' College and Duluth Normal, haB returned to our school, for Miss Picken Is well remembered here for her former good work in the Observation Department. Mis Picken now has the firth and sixth grades. One or the Interesting features of Miss Picken s work has been her quarterly Mother ' s Meetings when the children have given programs summarizing the work of the previous weeks. At one meeting the children gave a very interesting talk on birds, Illustrating it with the new reflectroscope. It was interesting to note the thorough familiarity of the children with their subjects and the ease with which they spoke. The Grammar Grade Department and ninth and tenth grades were again under the able management of Miss Frances Smith ant Mr. Sparks. For the first time In the Ellensburg schools a general science course has been given the ninth and tenth grades. The eighth grade boys are also greatly interested In their work in electricity. In connection with this they have been making batteries, bellB, telephones, and studying the elec¬ tric wiring of the Science Building. Miss Cordinier has taken charge of the seventh grade girls ' class her¬ self and given them a most valuable course In home keeping. The art work in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades has included the sttldvlng and making Japanese posters, basketry, and clay modeling. Miss Sellner has had the seventh, eighth and ninth grade girls In gymnasium. Spec¬ ial work has been done in folk dances, etc., for the May festival. On a bright, sunny afternoon in April, members of the Ellensburg Mothers ' Club assembled at the Training School. The mothers Investi¬ gated the work in all the departments, while school was In session. After [ 71 ] seeing all the splendid work done in our Training School, the ladies were shown through our three buildings, and at six o ' clock the Junior D class served a delicious cafeteria lunch on the campus. A number of the lathers also had their supper on the lawn. This afternoon program was instead of the annual picnic of the Mothers ' Club. That our friends enjoyed the afternoon was shown by the fact that a number expressed the wish that this might become an annual event. The closing exercises of the Training School thiB year were in the form of a pageant given during pageant week. The work was partly centered around Indian life and May festival features. This was worked out by the supervisors of the Training School with the help of Misr S abelwitz and Miss Sellner. Supervisors, parents and student teachers agree that this year ' s suc¬ cess In the Training School Is largely due to the skillful management of Mr Parmenter. Principal of the Training School. His cheerfulness and willingness to help has won the hearts of many who were In trouble. The Normal School is certainly fortunate In having such a man as Mr ' rarmenter at the head of its practice department. V7I •• SPRING QUATRAINS by The Third and Fourth Grades. (Miss Hardy ' s Room.) Forget me not for I am Spring; I bring gladness to the heart. For I have come with birds and flowers, I have come with the song of the lark. — Thelma Taylor. Here comes my friend, the firefly, With his bright and golden eye; When it is the end of day. He is glad to light your way. Oh, you pretty golden pigeon! I wish I could speak your religion. If I were a little bird. I ' d tell you all I ever heard, —J. II. McDaniels. Oh. daffodils! Oh, daffodils! How I like to see your frills. Nodding at me gayly, gladly— I should like to pluck you badly. —Margaret Felch. Spring has conte. Spring has come. With a skip and a run, The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing- With their song a message they are bringing, —Rena Fein. [ 72 ] [ 73: TENNIS Among the attractive features of the Normal grounds are the tenuis courts. There are four courts, two of them have been in use for the entire year, and two were only completed for the closing weeks, but will be permanent additions to the campus. A delightful spring made it possible for the courts to be in use during every spare moment from daylight to dark; and as spare moments were diverse for diverse stu¬ dents, the courts were usually In use. There is no doubt that the many students who learned to play will take the tennis spirit to their schools next year, and will Introduce this wholesome sport in their communities. Jit t=i. •� •� ATHLETICS For the past few years the Normal has not attempted to organize a football team, but has confined its elTorts to basketball, track and tennis. At the opening of this season the prospects for a winning basket¬ ball team were bright. Chester Turner. Roy Champie, Claude Watkins. Elwood McDonald, William Fowler, Byrl Gwtn, Itoy Nash, David Sloan, Wendell Ford, Heber Raisinger and Marvin Shelton, all old players, worked for positions on the team. Early in the season the Senior boys challenged all the rest of the boys in school to play a basketball game to decide the class champion¬ ship. The challenge was accepted. Fifteen minutes before the game started the classes appeared in bodies. The Juniors sang: We Are the Life of the School, and the Seniors sang: ‘‘Senior Boys, Senior Boys.” Together they created a basketball spirit which continued throughout the game. The game proved to be very exciting and interesting. The under classmen put up a good fight, but when the whistle blew the score stood lfi to 15 in favor of the Seniors. A local basketball league was formed, but after the first three games the Normal, on account of the loss of three first team men, had to with¬ draw from the league. Also games scheduled with Bellingham Normal were cancelled. $ TRACK The Normal and Y. M. C. A. held a track meet In the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium early in the spring. The “Y” filed up the biggest score, while better all around work was done by Mr. Hogue of the ' Normal team. Mr. Hogue won five firsts and one third. Messrs. Baisinger, Van DeVenter, Hays and Watkins also won points. Coach Sparks ably conducted the athletic classes during the year. [ 74 ] CAMPUS DAY Great Joy pervaded the hearts of the student body In the morning of April twenty-seventh. We were Informed that if the wind dll not blow In the afternoon, and. of course, there was no reason why it should, we would work on the campus. It ia rumored that a student remarked that he was ever so sorry to miss classes, but would be glad to improve the looks of our school. I.very one was provided with a hoe, rake or spade and repaired to some part of the campus or tennis court. Here the faculty showed their worth. Some are excellent workers but others were born to command The students worked hard, too. Blisters, sunburn, laughter, groans, and an occasional ice cream cone were In evidence. The Ice cream stand was considered quite an estimable institution and thanks to the kind generosity of some of the faculty many who had forgotten their nickels K r, t a cone. The weather had looked favorable in the morning but later the wind turned out and had a big time, blowing dirt everywhere. But the work was well accomplished. For proof, notice the east side terrace S JUNIOR PROM One of the prettiest functions of the year was given in the Normal gymnasium and library on the evening of May eighth by the Junior Class. The reception, between the hours of eight and nine, ' was held In the library, which was tastefully decorated in daisies. At nine o ' clock, dancing began In the gymnasium, which was beau¬ tifully decorated in butterflies in the class color scheme. The Grand March, as usual was led by Professor Wilson and the Junior Class Presi¬ dent. The Training School girls, also dressed in class colors which are old rose and green, served refreshments to the guests. [ 75 ] A DAY AT ELLIS ISLAND The immigrant station at Ellia Island is the largest and most import¬ ant of any of the United States ' stations. The station is built upon three islands—Bedloe Island, and two smaller artificial islands, and is located m New York Harbor, about a mile and a half from New York City. Before an immigrant lands upon United States soil, his steamship is met by a revenue cutter— The Immigrant. Six government officials trom 1 he Immigrant board the incoming steamer and inspect first and second cabin passengers who produce their manifests to prove their identity. If the cabin passengers pass inspection satisfactorily, they are landed at the dock at New York; others must go to Kills Island for fur¬ ther inspection. Ail steerage passengers are examined at E ' llis Island. The day I visited Ellis Island, a ship carrying nineteen hundred im¬ migrants had Just arrived. As we watched the new-comers stepping off the steamer we witnessed a real, live moving picture. Here comes a brawny Russian: he seems to have not a care in the world, as he swings his huge, misshapen telescope, Behind the Russian trudges a little Italian woman, with a small child strapped to her back, and four or five other children hanging to her manv variously colored petticoats. Each child is carrying a bundle almost as large as himself; and pans, cups, and numerous other culinary imple¬ ments are much in evidence. Here comes a bright, robust girl. Because of her fair complexion we decide that she has just bade farewell to Scandinavia. This young woman is wearing the first hat that we have seen among the immigrants. All the other women have evidently considered a hat a luxury; we conclude that the young girl has added this one luxury to her trousseau. And so the pictures move on: the scenes are taken first from one part of the world, then from another. In the meanwhile, all have been passing into the receiving room. This is a huge hall, marked off into aisles which are indicated by iron railings. All move through these aisles in single file. At the entrance to the first aisle stands a medical inspector who examines the eyes of each immigrant who passes. He holds in his hand a small hooked instrument and with this he can quickly turn back the eye-lid. Why does he examine the eyes so carefully? He is looking for that dreaded disease, called trachoma. This disease is especially prevalent among immigrants from southern Europe; in children it is sometimes curable, but in adults, never curable, and finally leads to total blindness. Another inspector stands at the turn in one of the aisles. He stands at this point so that he can see the Immigrant both from the side and from the back. This medical inspector examines the general physique of the individual. After thege two inspectors have been passed, the immigrants produce their manifests. These manifests are yellow slips which have been given to the immigrants at the port of embarkation; a duplicate of each mani¬ fest has been made ont and sent to the inspectors at Ellis Island. Some of the questions asked and answered on the manifest are: “What is your name? Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? Is anyone going to meet you? Why did you come? What are you going to do now? Any discrepancies in the answers are quickly noted. Many frauds are practiced by the immigrants who are seeking admit¬ tance to our country, but the inspectors are very expert and even the shrewdest frauds are detected. An instance of this is clearly shown in the following case: A man was suspected of bringing a girl here for immoral purposes. When the man was examined he was asked: Are you married? Yes When? “In 1910. Where? In Berlin. .‘‘Where is your wife? Right here. The woman was then examined, f 70 1 “Fn D 8 „ k d: ..

We took the ferry which is a municipal ferry run between New yorlt and Ellis Island, passed the Statue of Liberty, saw Brooklyn Bridge from the harbor, and landed at Battery Park, where the immigrant station was formerly located. From there we look a subway and lost ourselves in the heart of New York City with all the other foreigners. —Erma L. Gay. ' 1414- « TO THE TEACHERS Grand are the days of the teachers. When bright Normal memories stay by; When visions of youth still surround them And keep the dark clouds from the sky. Some tutors, like violets In springtime, Bring Joy to the innocent soul; Others are stones in the night-time That make the mind stumble and roll. Now if they should stop and consider The things that their childhood has seen. How many would scold and would splutter When children are restless and mean? They ' d go with a smile in the morning. Their faces all sunny and bright Could proudly return in the evening From lessons that set the world right. —E. Ernest P. Carlson. IS. 2ft ift 3S STORY OF CHRISTMAS (Written by a student teacher as a class assignment.) Todav, children, we will put away our work, for we are going on a long long journey. We are going to the lond of Long Ago and there are two things each one of us must have, to travel; first, bright eyes, readv to watch carefully and. second, little ears ready to listen. For the land of Long Ago is not a country like England or America, but when we sav that we are going to this country we really mean that we arc going to learn about some very wonderful things that happened many vears ago. So put on your fairy listening-caps and come with me to Bethlehem town, for I know that a very wonderful thing is going to hap- l,en it h ls r evenlng ll now and we are tired from traveling so far. so let us sit down by the roadside and rest. Is It not nice to sit and watch t people going into this little town? Some are old men who walk slowly and lean on canes. Some are happy children singing as they go.. Many, manv people are going to Bethlehem tonight; but look! hero comes • man with long, white beard and warm cloak over his shoulders.

It took us some time to make so long a trip and now It Is night. Why did we come to this field at night and what do we see? Why there lies a flock of sheep fast asleep, and see! A camp-fire is burning. It makes such a bright light we can plainly see several men sitting by the fire. I will tell you who they are. They are the shepherds who watch the sheep to see that no wolves catch them. How dark it is tonight! Only a few stars are shining! The shep¬ herds are almost asleep! How quiet it Is! But hark! What is that we see? Look! The poor shepherds are afraid and they fall on the ground. It Is a great bright shining star and an angel is standing before them. Vj 8ten ® at ‘ eral,y for , 1 think w « can hear what the angel is saying. He is speaking in a voice sweet and low, saying, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you tidings of great joy. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord. Ami this shall be the sign to you. You shall find the child lying in a manger.” , th an Sel st °P a speaking and see. many, many angels come and are beside him and they are all singing a beautiful hymn. I can bear the words so plainly, Peace on earth aud gcod will toward men.” And now, little travellers, I want you to come with me on one more Journey this night. This is to be the longest journcv of all. Let us cross the great desert and go to the homes of the great wise men for thev are going to do something tonight and we want to Ree them Here they ar K 8 al . ,hrCC ... 8it . tinB a,,d ,alkinB together. Let us watch them and see what they will do. They are talking, so let us listen for we have rairv ears tonight and can hear them plainly. Here one Is saying, We shall know when the child Is born for a bright star will shine in the East. Suddenly one cries, “It is shing now! And he is right. For see, there in the East is a big beautiful star, bo bright and lovely that the other stars look small beside it. Do you notice how happy the wise men seem when they see the star? And now they are getting their camels ready to ride away. And now they are packing boxes and food. And now they are starting to ride away. Let us go, too. and see where they ' re riding to ° n ? nd , ° , arr ° 88 the dt,sert - 11 ' not a dark night? here are they going? Always they look up at the star, this big bright r ' , .I 1 Sfcms the star is moving. Yes indeed it is, and the wise men are following it, iu,i° n ., an 0l k W ® ™ ust r,de ' tho ' now aven wlth falry slippers we re a nttle tired. But the star moves on. Now we are coming to a town Mow strange! It seems we have seen this town before. Yes, it is the ( 79 ] very town we started from. Yes. it is Bethlehem! Is our journev tuded? Yes, for see. the star has stopped and just above the stable where Alary and Joseph are staying. How glad the wise men are to get off the camels. They are taking many boxes from the camels ' backs. Now they ' re going In. But a surprise, a lovely surprise. Look In the man¬ ger and there lies a tiny, tiny baby. And there beside the manger are Alary and Joseph The wonderful thing I told you of has happened Do you see the wise men kneeling and holding out the boxes? Do vou see what is in the boxes, rich gifts, rich, rich gifts for the new baby? Ch, how happy Mary is! But why did the angels sing to the shepherds, of the little babv, and how did the wise men know that the star would take them to where the young child lay? Because, children, this child was the blessed Christ Child who had come to save the world. For 1 am sorry to say there were many, many l ad people in the world and God knew this and was sorry, and so He said, ' I will send my only son, Jesus, to be king of the people and He will teach them how to be good. And Gcd had said that a star would guide people to the king so when the wise men saw the star they knew ' It must lead them to the new king. But they did not know they would Ilnd he child in a manger Do you wonder they gave rich gifts to the babe? Do vou wonder that Mary was very, very happy? For she was the mother of the Christ Child w ' ho had come to rule the world. —Helen Hunter, ’15. (Written by a Former Student.) Who says that a poem Is paper and ink? Stop and consider a bit. If you think That verses are classics and jingles sublime Just because words are Bet down so they rhyme. Recall the great Puritan aged and blind Who conjured up heaven aud hell in his mind; Remember the ploughman who trudged through the soil. And yet planned his country ' s great songs at his toil. Do we think today that the task is so light To seize pen and paper and sit down and write Things half worth the reading, when man of old times In many conditions, in various climes. Have labored in spirit and wrought with a will To bring forth the poems that we treasure still? God grant that the Muses have not left us yet God grant that the Muses have not left us yet. Though verses and jingles and pleasantries light Take no inspiration or labor to write. That Apollo ' s true sons keep their eyes on the goal And leave In each poem a bit of a soul.

[ 81 ] MIKE—Prize Story “Hey, Tim, wat chout for the cop! ' ’ “He ain’t In sight. If the cop gets up this time it ' ll go hard with us, but let ' s play ball, I ' m pitcher. Whada we care for thlm rules. ' Xo Baseball in the Streets. ' I guess I ' m gonna play. If youse go to the parks its ' Keep Ofi the Grass,’ or ‘No Trespassing Allowed. ' We ain ' t got yards like them rich folks up town, and what ' s the good of streets if taln ' t to play in. Let ' em put their old houses back from the street if they don ' t want their windows broke.” The boys were getting ready to play when Mike again spoke. Say, wouldja look at the guy coming down the street. Not the kind that generally hangs around this dump.” “Hello, boys, going to play ball?” Mike didn ' t answer for a minute and then he said, “Who are youse, a cop or the sheriff?” I ' m neither. 1 was just going down the street and 1 was thinking that you boys didn ' t have a very good diamond here and wondered If you would like to come over to the new playground we are just starting. There is plenty of room, even if the diamond isn’t in very good shape. With a little help from you boys I ' m sure it would make a dandy. Won ' t you come?” “Who are youse I asked you oncst?” Well, over at the playground most everybody calls me Mr. Bob.” “Mr. Bob, huh! Youse are lying. Things don ' t happen like that in New York. I ' ve lived here all my life and you can ' t fool me. Maybe youse have got a playground and maybe youse want us to help make a diamond, but after It was made you ' d send ub hiking. Youse can ' t fool me. Do yuh think I was born yesterday?” “Xo, boys, I ' m not lying. The playground is for all of you. We have the grounds and we are going to have a fine football and baseball team. Some of you boys are great players for the little practice you have been able to get. Baseball and football are not the only games we are going to play, but I expect they ' ll be the two you are most interested in The playground Is not for you boys alone but for anybody that wants to come there and play. Maybe some or you boys have brothers or sis¬ ters that would like to play there, too. Will you not come and see It now?” . Youse other kids can go but not me. I don t bite that easy, sides I wouldn’t go to a sissy playground.” Now it was the fact that anybody could play cn it that aroused some of the boys’ curiosity, especially Sandy ' s, because he had a lame Utile sister who loved to watch others play even If she couldn’t Join In all the games. Some of the boys decided to go with Mr. Bob and see what It was, at any rate. Mike was the leader of the gang, but at times they didn t all agree with him. This happened to be one of the times. So Tim, Pat. Tony, ikev, Sandv and some of the smaller boys trotted along with Mr. Bob. It wasn ' t so much what Mr. Bob had said as the way he had looked: tall and straight, with the nicest way of smiling at you. Someway you could¬ n’t help believing him. Mike had never heard of such a thing as a playground for common kids, but In his heart he thought there muHt be some truth to it. He bad thought the other boys would stay with him. but if they wouldn ' t, all right- He could find somebody that would. He knew he could find some other hoys. They were probably shooting craps. He didn’t care [ 82 ] hP . P 2? faCt - . h l8hed he bad K° ne with the gang now; hut So h« d f n nrwt hem an K h V vusn,t golng to eo chas, � K after them.

In the following days Mike was the earliest at p a: g 7 ' ' nd .“ d worked the hardest, not only on the baseball diamond but with the little folks. Mike was a natural leader aud many of the lots looked up to him. It was he that helped settle the disputes of the lain C ,T ,1 an d saw that there was fair lav for all.

Both teams knew It would be Uie hardest game of the season, for they were well matched, hn the . real day arrived. Mike was decidedly the better pitcher n I.h d a 5 ave aS Strcng a teanl baek of hint. In the first inning If ,tb £ y alde lade a 8l- ore. In the second the Reds made one. During the third neither side could get a score. Two boys from the Reds got ba � o. but no farther.

There were no men out. Tony came next aad be , raade a SHfe b,t ,he 1)3,1 lighting between second baseman and left fielder. Tim ran and made the first score for the Plavground bovs Tony was on second. Pat made a safe single and Mike was up to bats. The first one he missed and the second was a foul, but the third he hit squarely and sent it out, Just over the short stop ' s head. Tony- ran for home. Everyone was shouting, Go it Tony! go it Tony! Ten feet rrom the plate he made one of those diving slides for which he was noted. The hall came in at almost the same time, and when the dust arose the people saw Tony with one hand safe on the plate, and heard the umpire shout, Safe.” The next three boys struck out and the Reds were in bats for the first hair of the ninth inning. Between halves Mr. Bob said, in a low ' tone, Mike. It s up to you to keep the score where It is. 1 want to see you boys win more than I used to want Yale to win at her football games, hut. boy, remember this. It takes a bigger man to lose and to lose well than to win ... , The , ' er alr s «ned tense as Mike stepped into the box. Even the little folks seemed to feel it and stopped their play and chatter The Mike that stepped Into the box that day was a different Mike from the one that Mr. Bob had helped out of jail. Then he looked sullen dis¬ satisfied, and against everyone: now he was smiling, eager, confident The first throw was a little wild. Ball one,” yelled the umpire. The next was squarely over the plate and the boy at hats hit it but the ball came straight towards Mike and he caught It. The next boy fanned. The third boy was up. There was not a sound from tthe crowd gathered [ 83 ] around the diamond. The first ball seemed to be going wide of the mark when suddenly It curved In and was squarely over the plate. Strike one, sang the umpire. The next came so suddenly that the batter scarcely realized thuL It was coming until it whizzed past him. Strike two The next was a slow one but the boy hit it. Straight up it wen . Would some one catch it? Sandy on second base saw it coming—com¬ ing towards him. Safe in his glove he grasped It and the game was o� er. Two to one in favor of the Playground. . After the Playground boys had given eueer after cheer for the Metis and they had returned It with hearty good will, Mr. Bob took each mem¬ ber of the team by the hand and said, “Boys, I ' m proud of you. you re a credit to anyone. , . . The bovs moved off toe grounds, but Mr. Bob laid a detaining hand on Mike ' s shoulder. Mike, I want you to meet Mr. Hadley, president of Ya ' And this is Mike. This is the boy you have been writing about in every letter since you left college. Mike, I ' m very glad to meet yon. That was a great game today.

And the crowd only smiieB as you pass, And your pegs both thump dead on the ground ou cant see. And you fall and can’t rise. Will you go on your knee? Are you game, win or lose, to the last? When your soul wants to whine. And the gleam is near gone, And you ' re fighting alone in the dark; And your guts seem ail gone. And you know you’re all in. „ Can you fall with face up in a go-to-Hell grin — Aiake your friends think it ' s all just a lark? When the things you’d have done-and you ' ve tried—are but dreams, And the one that you love turns her head, And you keep from your friends lest they learn that you re weak. And they think that you ' re mad. And they call you a freak; When It’s thus, will you do as 1 ve said. Will you Just clap your eyes on ' ? Or her Sunday page portrait would serve.

Sud¬ denly she heard a silvery voice say. “Well, here I an), look at me. She looked all around but could see nothin . Then, behold, there— under a blue bell was a real fairy with gauzy wings and a tiny honey¬ suckle trumpet in her hand. Xina could hardly believe her eyes. ' Where did you come from?” she said. “Oh, I was resting in the blue bell and when you spoke I came out. ' The fairy then blew upon her trumpet, and almost be¬ fore Xina could get her breath there came fairies from every direction. Some were running, some skipping, and others ilying. They began to sing and this is what they sang; Hist, hist, be still On tiptoe now advance We ' ve come to have a merry fairy dance We ' ll form our circle here. Stepping lightly for we fear Other eyes may see our Fairy Queen by chance. Xina had never before seen Riieh a sight. Thev took hold of hands and danced round and round. Their little feet seemed hardly to touch the ground. When they finished, all made a bow to the fairy under the blue bell for she was “Queen of the Fairies. “Xow please go to flowers, said the Queen, “and bring nectar for our visitor. They hurried away and soon brought back a lily filled with the nectar and gave it to Nina. She „rank the clear liquid which was sweet as honey and fragrant as the flowers. “Thank you. fairies, for the nectar and the beautiful dance, and dear Fairy Queen, I thank you most of all, said Xina. The Queen again blew on the trumpet and lo, not a fairy was to be seen. N’Ina rubbed her eyes. She looked everywhere. There were the trees and the bushes just as they had always been, and there was the pretty blue bell swaying lightly In the wind, but at her feet lay a beautiful white lily. —Lulu Ellison, ' 16. 38 - 38 38 OUR NORMAL MATER Happy days they were with thee, for us.

E. church to a reception which turned out to he a miniature normal school in opera¬ tion. However the teachers were not the kind that hum midnight oil making lesson plans. This morning we ail received first hand informa¬ tion. that no matter how early we were up at night, we were expected to be up in time for toast. October 18.—Today was a perfectly gorgeous day. The surrounding mountains are covered with snow, which makes it feel rather coolish down here in this bur of Ellen ' s. The trees are the most brilliant shades of yellow and green and are certainly a grand enough sight to stir up the aesthetic part of most anybody. Miss Hunt was saying today that the grasses are perfectly charming now; but grass Is just grass to me until It gets to be hay. October 27.—Miss Rankin gravely announced this morning that three Human Bodies were missing from the revolving shelf and then gave us a very interesting discussion on “The Library.” Chester Turner gave a speech yesterday on school activities, enumer¬ ating the causes of the lack of school spirit and suggesting remedies A get-together meeting was suggested for loulghi. The different classes were there in all their glories and certainly put the Seniors in the shade for spirit. Every time we tried to bring ourselves before the public those rude Juniors would drown us out. Everybody grand-marched with everyone else and had fun in general until time for study hour.
