CUioago Teachers College. Emblem. DATE DUE TO those who, with infinite care and patience, have guided us in the paths of knowl- edge from kindergarten daps through college, to the teachers we love, we dedicate this book of our class. Emblem ' 13 THE SCHOOL ' • •(.■.•.•. •w.v.vi ' .w: ' iMi,;;- 3-; . The School Its Past The history of the Chicago Teachers ' College is varied but interesting, while the number of dates connected with its growth makes one think of a page of uninteresting history. History, it is surely, but of the most fasci- nating sort, for it traces the growth of an institution which has become a potent factor in the education of Chicago. Following is a list of dates which have been important in this growth with the reasons for their importance and the places at which these important changes were made: 1856 — Central High School. An academic department for the training of public school teachers was organized. 1870 — Entrance examinations required. 1875 — Entrance examinations discontinued. 1878 — Work of the school discontinued because too many applicants for the number of positions took advantage of the no examination rule. 1893 — City Normal School was reopened. 1896 — The Cook County Normal School property was given to the Board of Education as a location for a normal school for the benefit of Chicago and Cook County. 1905 — The erection of the present college building. This has been outline of the works merely. Nothing has been said of the people v. ' ho worked to make this outcome possible and these, after all, were the vital features of success. Its Present Of the present work of the college this Emblem tries to tell in a small measure, and, as you read it, remem ber that between the lines there is a great deal of activity which could not be set down in any book for it is too full of personality which is not transferable to the printed page. Its Future On the campus of the college to-day stand two completed buildings, one for the college proper and the other containing the Parker Practice School. There is a partly finished building next to the college building which is going to make the future student s very proud of the fact that they had an opportunity to have classes in it. It is the new Arts and Gymnasium Building. This will contain equipment necessary (1) for the proper carrymg out of the instruction in art work, both industrial and graphic; (2) for the classes n household arts to do their work more conveniently than has been possible hitherto; (3) for the gymnasium classes to work under conditions which will ncrease their efficiency and pleasure. When we consider these phases of the Normal work which are to be mproved we are sure of a wonderful future, especially when we think of its praiseworthy history. 7 The Library On the third floor of the Teachers College is its library. It is a large, well- Hghted room and in it are both circulating and reference libraries, which together comprise about 24,000 volumes. This collection of books is an out- growth of the old Cook County Normal School Library. When the Cook County Normal became the City Normal, through the in- strumentality of Col. Parker, who was very much interested in library work. Miss Irene Warren was secured, and she reorganized the library and during her last year conducted a library training class, of which Miss Bates, the present assistant, was a member. Miss Warren also began the card cata- logue, which has since been completed by the present librarian and her assistant. Miss Dickey, who is librarian now, came in 1889 and Miss Bates, her assis- tant, came a year later, and together they have worked very efficiently for the good of the library. In 1883, the library contained some three hundred and fifty volumes; six years later, there were 6,342 books to its credit ; and to-day the accession book shows a total of 24,000 volumes, of which, however, only 22,000 are actually in use. Over 2,000 of these were added this year.

HELEN McAULEY 4842 PRAIRIE AVENUE Our well-chosen class president. She is a truly grand girl and she will wear through all kinds of weather. Nothing ever ruffles her or disturbs her broad-minded equilibrium. We shall all remember Helen and hope she will not forget us when she becomes famous as Dr. McAuley, nerve specialist. Vice-President — MARY O ' CONNELL 405 EUGENIE STREET You never see Mary alone. She has so many friends among the girls that she is always sur- rounded. No wonder, when she has such lovable ways. Some big business man will like those lov- able ways and then — Secretary — KATHLEEN MOORE 4436 WEST MONROE STREET It is hard to make Kathleen laugh. Never mind, Kathleen, laugh on, it will cheer your future hus- band after his hard day ' s work. Treasurer — HANNAH DILLON 4324 ADAMS STREET It ' s Strange that people with the name of Dillon never live up to it. Here is our Hannah who looks as if she just stepped off the Spanish Armada! And you might search Spain, Ireland, and every other country without finding her equal. Brains! That girl has them by the barrel and social efficiency i s her hobby. Some day Hannah will return to Nor- mal as a critic. Reporter — IRMA FREMONT 10319 LOOMIS STREET Always neat and very petite. What would Irma do if should were not in the English lan- guage? She has remarkable power of expression, a talent which will aid her when she is president of the Federated Woman ' s Club. 18 MARGARET AAGARD G617 PERRY AVENUE Our Junior vice-president and the greatest mem- ber of the household arts department, will win fame throughout the city for the way in which she will carry out her training received here. MARGARET AHERN 1318 FIFTEENTH STREET She ' s just sweet, cute, little Margaret, that ' s all. Her dimples will some day be the undoing of some young eligible. ESTHER ALLISON 5511 AUGUSTA STREET When anyone says Fudge she turns pale at the im propriety of such language. She is the very pink of properness and was never known to be non- plussed. Famous for her portrayal of The School- mistress, a role which she will continue to grace through life. ELIN ALMBLAD 881 KING ' S PLACE The first cubist director of music. Lest you do not know what that means, she was the originator of a cubical method of directing. DAGMAR ANDERSON 6929 SOUTH PARK AVENUE As a housewife she will win fame throughout her circle of friends for her interesting entertainments. RACHEL AUSTERMAN 3021 EAST 80TH PLACE Her work as a kindergarten teacher suits her to perfection, for she loves little children, can tell sto- ries of all kinds and never gets tired talking, and children big and little love to listen to her. % cj K ) ' I ,. ' ; , iWlJMIlM 19 a in RUTH BABCOCK 855 NORTH 52ND AVENUE Full many a flower is born to blush unseen and she is one of them. She ' s the smartest thing in captivity, but insists on hiding her light under a bushel. In spite of her demure air we guarantee that she has a life-sized sense of humor. Some day she will be prominent as the author of America ' s greatest novel. RUBY BARTLETT 6638 SOUTHPORT AVENUE She will go as a missionary to India and will endeavor to plant more artistic influences in the paths of the people. OLIVE BASTION ei24 LEXINGTON AVENUE She ' s a dear, quiet little girl with a meek, gentle way that ' s pretty. We predict that she will spend most of her life applying her household arts course under the supervision of a much-interested critic. AMY BOUGHAM i22 EOSLYN PLACE Miss Bougham will apply the special method work at Normal in managing the large Bougham Pub- lishing Company, noted for fine work. She will write many of the books issued by the concern. MARY BERTOLOTTI 7605 UNION AVENUE In school Mary was always famous because she looked as though she had just walked out of an old Italian masterpiece. An artist who saw her de- cided that she would make a splendid model, and now she is known everywhere as The Artist ' s In- spiration. REBECCA BIRENHOLTZ 1415 SOUTH UNION AVENUE Along with her school teaching Rebecca will find time to teach the Italian children of the Ghetto, and will prove so efficient that the Associated Char- ities will elect her their president. MABEL BIRMINGHAM 6630 MINERVA AVENUE The girl to whom the Senior Class is indebted for many of its good times. Her fame as an exec- utive officer in the local chapter of her exclusive sorority led to her appointment as consul to France. The appointment was a tribute also to her di- plomacy. ETHEL BLOMBERG 34 EAST 118TH STREET O, the waltziest waltzes To which you could waltz Are played far and wide in this town. And for writing these danciest, Dreamiest waltzes Miss Blomberg has won great renown. HATTIE BORGWARDT 2529 SMALLEY COURT Miss Borgwardt ' s quiet dignity And her love of joking, too, Made everyone at Normal Her loyal friend and true. She ' s now dean of a college For girls, and you must know That she is greatly loved by all The girls that there do go. CATHERINE BRADY 6817 BISHOP STREET The Ladies ' Home Journal was glad to welcome her as its head designer in the year 1920 when sen- sible dress for women came into vogue. ALICE BRANICK 3631 COLOEADO AVENUE Her ways are ways of pleasantness and mirth, and all her paths are peace. Alice is sure to have a book in her hand when she isn ' t sleeping. And, O, she never studies! but you should hear her bril- liant remarks in class. RUTH BROPHY 4747 AUSTIN AVENUE She is a girl that one loves to be with on account of her quiet humor and happy disposition. Since she is so artistic, a futurist artist will choose her for his model. 1 c t 21 ?t rifcra A-§ ALICE BUCKLEY 3026 WARREN AVENUE She is a sensible girl in spite of the fact that she laughs all the way home on the car. Alice has wit loaded with friendly satire. Her future is going to be literary for she is going to progress as she has begun. CECELIA BUCKLEY SGOO HERMITAGE AVENUE She used her inventive ability to good advantage and had a shop fitted with the best equipment in her home in the country. There she made appli- ances to keep the eyes of Normal girls awake when examinations are on. PHILIP BURNESS 3829 WEST END AVENUE There once was a man And his name was Burness; In Normal athletics He was It, I confess. His business ability Became so great, Now at a big ball park. He sells tickets at the gate. IRMA BUSCHER 5442 NORTH PAULINA STREET Everybody ' s friend and nobody ' s enemy. China painting and crocheting bed spreads her specialty. Will we ever forget her contagious laugh? She has a strong liking for German men which seems peculiar. I vwDnder why? ALICE L. BYRNE B648 DREXEL AVENUE A university girl who really likes Normal. Haven ' t you heard about her beaux yet? We don ' t wonder she has many. MARY CARVLIN 610 BOWEN AVENUE Our pretty baby. We all love Mary and envy her girlish looks. Just imagine a Normal student having to pile books on the chair to reach the piano to play for the glee club. What will the col- lege do without her? She sings, plays, and we could listen to her recite all day. 22 STELLA CHANTRILL 3007 FULTON STREET Twenty years from now she will be teaching a dear little second-grade room in one of our largest schools. MARJORIE CLARK 6807 UNION AVENUE How long will Peggy stay in kindergarten before she resigns? She was never meant for a school- marm. Coquetry is the desire to inspire love without experiencing it. She certainly inspires it. We are not able to vouch for the rest. ANN COLEMAN 418 EAST 45TH PLACE Though psychology and education were a source of great worry to Ann, she proved herself a student of child nature by her successful kindergarten work. She will become known as one of the best kinder- gartners in the city. ELEANOR COLLINS 1343 WEST 14TH PLACE Those dark blue eyes and pink cheeks are goin to put a solitaire on her left hand. MARY COLLINS 1326 TURNER AVENUE Her sweet voice charms me still. Some day you will see her coming into your room, with her sweet, gracious way. to supervise your music. ISABELLE CONDON 4029 LEXINGTON STREET If you want to learn the latest dance go to Isa- belle. When she is Grandmother B — she will visit Grandmother C — to review their girlhood dances so as to show them to her children. f% c V. t «P ai x w 23 MARY CONNOR 5721 ELIZABETH STREET Here is a girl who has had an example of how to treat a practice student. The book she will write entitled, Humane Treatment of Practice Students, will indeed tend to make the life of future students free from care and will also advise treats for the students as a reward of work well done. - MARIE COPELAND 516 E. 40TH STREET A most attractive truant officer who tried to en- tice all the young people to go to her beloved Wen- dell Phillips. a IRENE COYLE 4400 WABASH AVENUE She looks meek at first sight, but it ' s iiot best to trust to appearances. Also never rub her the wrong way or there will be something doing. She will be seen at the Hymeneal altar soon and v. ' e knows who ' s going to do the obeying. HELEN CREIGHTON 5415 WENTWORTH AVENUE Helen is small but, How far that little candle throws its beams. She has a winning way and a pleasant smile. Practice in music is her ecstacy. Have you heard the latest rag? Helen plays it. €1.. MARY CRONIN 3150 S. ASHLAND AVENU?. Mary is the only kindergarten student from the class of ' 13 who came back to Normal as a super- visor. She introduced the Montessori method there. RUTH CRONWALL 1449 KOSCOE STREET When Swedish is taught in our schools, as Ruth is sure it should be, she will be the first special teacher in that subject. 24 MAE CUNNINGHAM 1035 SOUTH CLAEEMONT AVENUE Didn ' t you have your picture taken yet by Mae? Well, it ' s your fault because she is ready to take it. Always generous and kind, you need not be sur- prised to hear some day that she has adopted four or five of the Haines children, who needed care. FRANCES CURRAN 315 EAST 60TH .STREET A merry heart and a cheerful countenance. She will be loved not only by her pupils but by her fellow teachers, as she is now loved by her class- mates. HAZEL CURRY 1022 LAEKABEE STEEET How we love to hear her laugh, and to hear her hearty greeting in the Normal halls. As the wife of Count de Have-the-Money, she will be a charm- ing addition to his palatial halls. CATHERINE DALY 5745 SOUTH PAULINA STEEET Catherine seems to be quiet but we realize that she has a very good time. She will have a good time all through life and will be one of those un- usual persons who never have wrinkles nor frown. JEANETTE DAVIS 816 EAST lOlTH STEEET There is something exceedingly attractive about Jeanette. Perhaps it is that affable manner of hers. She never loses her temper, or becomes ill-humored. Not long hence she will enter the matrimonial state as the charming wife of a rising young physician. NELLIE DAY 3722 LOWELL AVENUE Because of Nellie ' s thoroughness in her teaching, she was highly thought of by her principal. Of course, one of her executive ability could not long remain a mere teacher, so in time she became a district superintendent, but always remained the girl we loved at Normal. It f ?! 1 1 IRENE DEEGAN 2635 BEST AVENUE The girl with the pretty dimples. True to her ideals, always, she taught school until she had cap- tivated most of the children in Chicago and then married one of our most capable railroad engineers. FLORENCE DOOLING 6946 LAFLIN STREET Of penmanship fame. I like Miss Dooling ' s paper. Do you, class? We all know Florence ' s fate, because she has gone with him for — years. MARIE DOWNS 7335 COTTAGE GEOVE AVENUE Many people in New York will have cause to bless the name of Marie Downs for as a nurse under one of the most efficient surgeons of the day she will bring hope and health to ill folk far and wide. LORETTA DUFFY 722 WEST 48TH STREET As that elderly person, Mary Carvlin says, She ' s a mere child, and we add, a lively one at that. She ' s noted as a graceful dancer and one of these days Loretta is going to dance her way straight into some nice young fellow ' s heart. RHODA EDWARDS 6625 INGLESIDE AVENUE Our graceful Welsh lady will continue to be very happy for she will establish a summer camp in the woods for girls. There she may live the simple life and sleep thirteen hours out of the twenty-four. ANNIE EGAN 4 654 WABASH AVENUE How pretty her blushing was, and how she blusliod c gain! Annie is so very quiet that you never know she is near until someone says, Hello, Annie. 26 GLADYS FALAHEY 5704 ABERDEEN STREET Having acquired her knowledge at Normal, Gladys later traveled through the country, lecturing before all sorts of audiences on the subject of open- air theaters. HELEN FANNING 4926 VINCENNES AVENTJE Miss Fanning, after instructing in the gentle arts of cooking and sevv ' ing, left teaching to study art. Having taken it up for art ' s sake, she was very suc- cessful. She later became an instructor at Pratt Institute. MARGARET FEELEY 929 LAUREL AVENUE Margaret traveled all over the world studying the various religions of mankind. Later she be- came head of the department of theology at Chi- cago University. EDITH FITCH 1728 WEST MONROE STREET She is a rock of sense and owns one of the level- est heads at Normal. Furthermore, Edith is the most accommodating girl on record, in fact, so much so that she is apt to be imposed upon. She will help her future husband to struggle up in the world and stick to him through thick and thin. MADOLYN FITZPATRICK 442 EAST FORTY-FIFTH STREET A dainty maid with golden locks Tripped through the halls of the college. And with a whistle shrill and high Shocked those pursuing knowledge. Though still as gay and happy. She ' s kept busy now, they say; For she ' s society editor Of the paper of the day. STELLA FOWLER 7825 SHERMAN AVENUE The fact that Stella can take charge of a circle so beautifully does not mean that she is not on the square. She can manipulate the queer cubes, the queerer colored papers and the queerest sticks in a way that inspires us with awe, but somehow we feel that she will be more completely in her element when she gives up kindergartening to give table talks to a little circle of her own. m -4 ■ If i ' wjnlit ' i S 27 c n HELEN FRAHM 521 BRYANT AVENUE We know Helen very well because she sings for us. The faculty knows her, too. What will she do without her big sister, Miss Garthe, when she acts as director of the largest choral society in San Francisco? ELIZABETH FRALICH 629 WELLS STREET Her ready vocabulary made her the star solicitor for Scribner ' s Magazine and her coming was eagerly watched for — since she was interesting — and dreaded, for everyone knew that he would have to buy when Elizabeth tried to convince him. ROSE GALLAGHER 7818 SANGAMON STREET As head of the phonograph department in the largest music store in Arkansas, Rose will make a great success — not all due to the merits of the phon- ographs, either. NELLIE GEORGESON 1308 NORTH MONTICELLO AVENUE Square from start to finish. There ' s nothing mean about her. If Nellie says she ' ll do a thing, the thing ' s as good as done. She ' ll marry a lawyer who will appreciate his clever little wife. AGNES GLEESON 573i MAY STREET Growing weary of teaching, Agnes became can- vasser for a machine called the Automatic Spring Cleaner. With this Cleaner a woman might sit down any place in the house and think of what cleaning she wanted done, press a button on the Cleaner, and lo ! the cleaning was done. Agnes, being a good talker and a clever demonstrator, was very successful. HYACINTHIA GLOMSKI 494i WEST CORNELIA AVENUE Hyacinthia is a quiet girl but, when it comes to art, she makes her pencil talk for her. Some day she ' s going to be an illustrator and the name of Glomski will be as familiar to the public of to- morrow as Christy is to us. She will not be a Futurist, either. 28 IRMA GOTTLIEB 2913 W. DIVISION STREET She always has a friendly greeting, never criti- cizes, and is the very soul of generosity. Her heart is just as big as can be and she will make a hand- some wife for some clever man. BLANCHE GRADY 5312 FIFTH AVENUE She was so valuable as a teacher that she was kept in one school for many years. Then she went to the country, where her school was famed throushout the state for its German course. DOROTHY GRANT 3921 LEXINGTON STREET A Harrison Fisher girl. Dot was always popu- lar and always will be. It ' s her thousand pretty ways. We can imagine the babies in her kinder- garten classes really loving her as children do love some few people. RUTH GRAYDON 3100 WALNUT STREET For her future watch the society columns, for there you will find the necessary information. HELEN GUILFOYLE 552 LYMAN AVENUE, OAK- PARK When the custom of giving children story-hours in the libraries grew to be universal, the ideal head of the story-tellers was Helen; perhaps be- cause she had such a successful practice in reading. ROSE HAEFFNER 208 SOUTH EAST AVENUE, OAK PARK. II ' Her hair is like the curling mist. Her heart holds a place for us all. Her smile is ever full of bliss, We go whene ' er she calls. A f t - 29 INGA HAGEN .0 CORTLAND STREET Too pure and honest to disguise The sweet soul shining through her eyes. A girl with gentle manners who fears lest she make a noise is Inga. She is a true friend to all. JOSEPHINE HAGERTY 1302 SOUTH TALMAN AVENUE She is so unassuming and kind. She has no enemies — she couldn ' t have. We see her seated in a chair in a room on the third floor, telling the Upper Seniors in her history class of the panics of 1837, 1857, etc. ELVA HAMILTON 3719 WEST CHICAGO AVENUE The founder of a colony of musicians in the coun- try in the year 1920. So future generations will remember her, the girl whom we know as she who detests Chicago. ALYDA HANSON 1133 NORTH SPAULDING AVENXTE She was the originator of a new style of pen- manship which became very popular in Chicago ' s schools. Chiefly, we think, because it combined beauty with mathematical precision. ETHEL HAYES 6120 EVANS AVENUE What ' s in that package Ethel carries to practice with her? O, haven ' t you heard, Ethel lives on raw eggs and — ? That ' s whj she is so big and has such a strong voice. We love to hear her sing, nevertheless. HELEN HEATH 2937 WILCOX AVENUE Another kindergarten girl. Helen loves her work so much that she teaches all night. Making Irish lace is her talent which she will continue to develop. IRENE HENELY 3319 CALUMET AVENUE When she practiced in Nature. The girls were amazed At the way she played with white rats. Now, an animal tamer, She fearlessly plays With polar bears, snakes, and wild cats. ESTHER HENNEBERRY 3836 JACKSON BOULEVAKD Did you ever see that sweet smile and those lovely dimples replaced by an angry scowl or a look of impatience? We can see her sitting at the piano by the side of her lovely daughter patiently giving her music lessons. ALICE LEE HERRICK 5535 WASHINGTON AVENUE Although she comes from the university she ' s a good mixer and very popular. Her charming inter- pretations of the role of Benedick and her numer- ous monologues delivered at class meetings and parties bear witness to her genius in the dramatic line. There are so many lines in which Alice Lee will succeed that we cannot mention them all, but her greatest success will be attained as a play- wright. LORETTO HICKEY 3111 NORTH SPAULDING AVENUE A dear, tender-hearted little girl, whose principal fault is being too sensitive. She is strong in her likes and dislikes. By and by she will have some- one to pet her. IRENE HIRONS 4i26 SHIELDS AVENUE Irene is very young, but she has a large dose of common sense in her make-up. She ' s quiet and thoughtful. Sooner or later she will drop school- teaching to take up law. She will make a conserva- tive lawyer. ELLEN HOOKANSON 5136 NORTH CLARK STREET Yes, Anne, I ' m coming. some popular pieces? That ' s sound like Ellen? O, won ' t you play jreat. Doesn ' t this m H m HELEN HOWE 119 EUCLID AVENUE, OAK PARK She charmed us with her rendering Of Grieg and of Rossini But now great Fame at last is hers! She accompanies Tetrazzini. w LOUISE JAMES 10351 EWING AVENUE Louise was asked to become a kindergarten teacher at the Chicago University School of Edu- cation, but was so successful in making everyone love her that she is now the wife of the president of the University.

She has a classical appearance, and the majestic manner which, we presume, was part of the equipment pos- sessed by the Mother of the Gracchi. We have an inkling that our fair Cornelia will some day take her stately way to the cloister. FRANCES RYAN 4939 FOEESTVILLE AVENUE Frances is a genius, that ' s why you never get to know her. She, too, has the artistic temperament, and though she is friendly and agreeable, you al- ways feel that there is a heap more to Frances than anyone will ever know.

Farewell Party, June 23. Class Day, June 26. Commencement, June 27. Class History Bouquet Yes, every flower is in full bloom and fragrant with sweetest memories of the past. The flowers contained in this bouquet of roses conceal in their folds the history of our class. The lines we extract from this white rose recall our first year at Normal. When we entered, ' tis true our aim was to be teachers, nevertheless, we were uncolored with the true zeal of the true teacher. Each petal brings forth pleasant remembrances but we cannot, however, forget the thorns. There was dear old psychology. O, to think of it! O, to apprehend it! O, to imagine it! O, to dream of it, fills our vegetable, sensitive and intellectual organisms with concrete joy that we have some abstract ideas of abstractions. Then our beloved science department. Why we made such excellent bean charts and electric batteries that currents of beans have been circulating ever since in our cerebral hemispheres. There was also the gymnasium class which meant — Run, run, run. With a hop, and a skip, and a jump. On with our suits And into the gym. Forward march or the Highland Fling. And lest we should become petrified we were pushed and pulled by Palmer Method, for it was — Get the movement, get the movement. One, two, three, four, five. Palmer Method, move your paper. Swing along and slide. How swiftly these memories come upon us! What an enjoyable time we had at the reception given us by the Lower Seniors when v.e were but frightened little Lower Juniors. We soon became organized as a class with Miss Mary Stapleton as our president; Miss Margaret Aagard, vice-president; Miss Virginia O ' Brien, secretary; Miss Ruth Maroney, treasurer, and Miss Ethel Hayes, reporter. It was also our good fortune to have Mr. Eggera, Miss Richman and Mrs. Schacht for our class advisers, and under their direction we entertained the Assembly on Lincoln ' s Birthday. By Field Day we had become Upper Juniors and therefore we assumed the responsibility of a farewell party to the Upper Seniors. The following September we were raised to the dignity of Seniors, some- what changed, though, as our pink rose will tell us. We learn from it that our second year found us colored (though somewhat delicately) with enthusiasm for the welfare and education of children. Again each petal bears forth joyous reminiscence, but here also we find the thorns. We pluck off a petal. It tells of our first Senior Class Meeting. As a result of a new election of officers. Miss Helen McAuley became president; 51 Miss Mary O ' Connell, vice-president; Miss Kathleen Moore, secretary; Miss Hannah Dillon, treasurer, and Miss Irma Fremont, reporter. Soon after we gave a reception to the incoming Juniors and a little later we had our Thanksgiving party. The latter was really a farmers ' party with the girls in their new sunbonnets and the boys — well, by the way, our several boys wore sunbonnets too. A petal drops. It tells of the dedication of our new building, the College of Arts and Gymnasium. The laying of the corner stone in Decem ber was a very impressive ceremony. Mrs. Young, with trowel, square and level, tested the stone which the architect placed in the foundation. Here is a petal which is in better proportion than the others. Its funda- mentals and accessories are better developed. Don ' t ask why. This petal says. I want to tell the history of education as taught by Mr. McManis. It was here we learned the changes from year to year in the growth of children. We measured childien and diagnosed children. We searched such questions as — 1. What kind of parents hfs the child? 2. Has the child chums? 3. Does the child play? 4. How many teeth has the child? 5. Is the child growing fundamentally or accessorily? The same petal says that there was also another education. It was taught by Miss Bruce and Miss Ballard. It was physical education. Here we learned about colds, fevers, tooth-brushes, bones, fats, proteids, lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis. My, Vv ' e almost forgot the work on the skeleton and the muscles. Do you remember where latissimus dorsi rises and sets; where trapezius rur.s and stops; where quadriceps femorous starts and finishes? Indeed, there was a third education class with Mr. Owen, where we heard and saw the social aspects of everything and everybody. Among other con- clusions we arrived at was one, most encouraging, that the entire social world would roll off into space if it were not for the venerable schoolmarms. Now we come to another group of petals. They breathe us news from practice. Will we ever forget the first day? Never! How we trembled as forty critical eyes looked at us from the toes of our brand new shoes to the Bulgarian collars on our new dresses; it is a standard fact, you know, to have a new gown for practice. What would the critic think of us? Would she be discouraged at the start? We were fortified, however, by our first day ' s plan and when that first morning was at an end, we were fired with enthusiasm to do or die! Those children would know eight times seven and seven times eight ; they would be able to bind books, or discuss the growth of Chicago if we had anything to do with it. Our experiences varied, en- couragement and discouragement alternated. There was always a Johnnie who could never remember which was the source and which the mouth of a river; a Tommy who was going to be a soldier when he grew up, but whether Sheridan or Sherman marched to the sea sorely tried his mental equipment ; a Willie in the back seat who made us frantic with some new toy he was 52 demonstrating, while we were desperately explaining the six-per cent method. Still, no matter how often they tried our patience, we liked them just the same. How we racked our brains to find some interest in every lesson. Many of us walked miles in the country, searching for wild flowers as art studies; timidly, the blacksmith, the milk man, even the candlestick maker was put through a third degree, as his occupation seemed a source of education to the children. There were geography maps, too, that were generally made sometime between midnight and breakfast. Our critics! Just two, and still what impressions they have left with us. Let us give them a toast in the simple phrase. We appreciate them. Have you ever wondered what moments were the greatest in practice work? It seems that The Sound of The Turn of The Door Knob should be capitalized, dramatized — eulogized! We did not dare to look around to see whether it was our honorable supervisor, the principal, or merely the little boy who announced that the doctor had come. There was always a funny little tremble in our voice — that only we heard. How was it that just at this moment the pupils seem to forget all we had taught them? Our super- visors meant much to us — in fact, we liked to return their calls the same day and their helpful suggestions sent us sailing more smoothly. Let us examine a few more petals. One tells of the Senior Promenade given in May in the Parker Gymnasium. Another recalls the semiannual plays, The School Mistress and Much Ado About Nothing, given by the Senior Dramatic Club. And still another, the class play, a two-act extrava- ganza on Normal life in the form of Chaucer ' s Canterbury Tales. And now at last the red rose reveals to us our graduation day. It is a picture of new lights and shadows, with the dawn of a brighter sun rising above the horizon where girlhood and vocation meet.

They love all their teachers and classmates so well That they dread the sad day when they must say farewell. At first they resided in Paradise Alley Where the fun and the industry well did tally. Even dignified Seniors envied them then Such jolly good times, they never did ken. Now in Lark Lane for a while they have stayed Where their fun and their mischief some folks have dismayed. Beach roasts and luncheons and all sorts of treats Were accompanied well with various feats, For right well in this marvelous class are presented All the talents and gifts that were ever invented. They ' ve five in the kindergarten, five in Home Arts, While the rest to the grades have given their hearts. Thirty-eight happier girls it is hard to find, And we hope that each year will bring more of their kind, And the dear Normal School that we all love so well Will miss us a little when we say farewell. Berniere Laramie. Class Room Echoes With untiring efforts our instructor in minor arts has tried to initiate us in the mysteries of art. Since the hour came directly after lunch, our deadly silence to all possible questions was explained by the after-lunch atmosphere, due to eating too much. After much preliminary talk and questioning, the roll is at last resorted to as the only means of getting anyone to answer. After much trouble the class has at last found that the essential thing in a landscape is the skyline. Now the idea is to be carried out farther and the next question is, What is the essential thing in drawing a human figure? After a deadly silence someone cried out excitedly, The skyline. Instructor as well as students are at first speechless at such extraordinary cleverness; but soon a volume of congratulations and approvals poured them- selves on the hapless victim. At this failure of getting at the essentials, a round-about route is tried, and the next question is, What would you need first of all to build a house? Money, is the answer from the back of the room in a suppressed whisper. We find out in this class that although we thought that we had thought, we really did nothing that could be classed as thinking. 61 Education In education we learn about the views of the schoolmarms of both sexes ; and that the reason for girls taking domestic arts is to win the love of the stronger sex, for it is a well-known fact that the way to a man ' s heart is through his stomach, and that cooking is the art of making things indigestible. In history we learn some surprising things, which are new even to our instructor. For instance, upon being asked vi ' hat Panacea meant, someone, after a long silence, ventured to say, Isn ' t it some kind of a cereal? On the question, What justification have we for killing so many Fili- pinos? the answer was, We want to civilize them. In wood work we are continually gluing our backs and losing our sides while making wells. Screws and nails are commonly used as a decorative element. After we had successfully evaporated from the chemistry course and had duly admired soldered coffee pots which were brought in to us, we were not only able to distinguish between acids, salts, and bases, but also were able to give practical advice as: If you can ' t marry a rich man, be sure you marry a handy man. Our Class The class of Lower Seniors is divided into three, Kindergarten, Domestic Arts and Elementary. The Kindergarten has but five, and one is but a half, But what she lacks in weight and height is in her merry laugh. In story-telling they excel, but one, who is afraid ; But this she hopes to overcome if all the others aid. They love their occupations; in principles do well. What they can ' t do in gift work would be very hard to tell. And so, though they are few, they ' ll surely do their best To see if by their courage, they can come up to the rest. The Elementary girls are many, twenty-five or more ; They love their work and over two- and three-inch books do pore. If you mention bibliographies, they all turn pale and run, For they ' ve written half a dozen; were not content with one. If there ' s anything they delight in, it ' s giving vocal lessons And they practice in the halls, insisting that we listen. Domestic Science has but five, but numbers count for nothing. The savory smells that float upstairs are truly tantalizing. They can make a Paris modiste wish she had gone to school In a college like our own, where they do things under rule. The courses they have chosen, they ' ll evermore pursue. And to their dear old college, they promise they ' ll be true. 62 I Wonder! Who ponders long on levels three And instincts of both you and me, Until we go to sleep — maybe? I wonder ! Who teaches us to gayly sing And gives us notes on grade teaching, Who glares at the tardy blanks we bring; I wonder! Who fills us with outlines and dates And tales of our dear native states. And on the industrial question prates? I wonder! Who taught us how the earth rotates And why at the poles we gain in weight. And what the natives in Afric ' ate? I wonder! Who makes us write with all our might And keeps us up most all the night, With Ready, ready, ready — write ? I wonder! Who taught us how to glide our feet And bow and courtesy so neat. And in tactics a straight line keep? I wonder! Who dealt with number ' s origin And why irrational methods sin, And what the place of drill has been? I wonder! This verse is much too smal It can ' t compare at all With the appreciation due To our class advisers two. 63 Grace Rohn. Officers President Catherine Byrne Vice-President Anna McCaffrey Acting Secretary Marie Mattocks Treasurer Emma Gunn The Upper Juniors In September, 1912, one hundred and sixty girls and two boys came from — oh, ever so many high schools to the far-famed Chicago Normal College and were enrolled as Lower Juniors. They arrived in twos and threes as early as eight o ' clock that day, but they have never done so since. It is useless to tell what they did on the first day, for you know what you did, but they soon became accustomed to the routine and the location of recita- tion rooms. At the first class meeting which every member attended, the class met its advisers — the quiet Mr. Hooper, the calm, important Mrs. Cook and the charming Miss Ballard. The following class officers were elected. Then, after being established as a class, the members took part in every form of activity — scholastic, social, literary and athletic. Everyone agrees that the class of ' 14 has accomplished a worthy end by originating the Junior Drama Players, who recently scored their initial success in The Piper ' s Pay. Just before taking our new titles of Upper Juniors we gave our first cotil- lion. How exciting it was to make the dainty favors and how we planned our grand march and figures. We were pleased with our first affair, and life at Normal went on more happily after it. The social hours were sources of delight to us and every second Friday at two o ' clock, all special topics, formulae, rat cages and other trials were forgotten while we made merry at the Parker gym. Now our chief topic of conversation is assignments. We have heard of the terrors of practice teaching and are awaiting our doom. But we real- ize there must be some joy in a senior ' s life, so we put aside our fears, play tennis and hockey, and patiently await the time when we shall be called seniors of the Normal College. 65 Allen, H.

PRESIl ' EHT VKE-I)RE5IDEnT SECRETARY TRE t UKER The Pilgrimage of the Lower Juniors One pleasant morning in February, at the gates of a strange city, a party of travelers was preparing for a pilgrimage through the new country they had reached. Over the walls of the city the adventurers caught glimpses of a snow-capped mountain mantled with dark pine trees that loomed up like sentinels and were at last lost to them. At first the hearts of many grew heavy, for they knew not what lay before them, but soon all were exchanging hospitable greetings which mingled with their merry laughter. Suddenly a hush fell over the party. Then the ruler of the city, Mr. Owen, stepped before them and smilingly invited them to enter. Then with a mighty clang the gates were opened and the strangers passed inside the walls. Thrills of joy entered their hearts when they discovered that the city officials were to welcome them in the large banqueting hall. The soft cheering light of the candles, the perfume of the golden daffodils that were everywhere, the sweet strains of music mingled with their own happy voices, the cooling refreshments and the many words of encourage- ment they never forgot. It was not until sunset that their merrymaking ceased. Soon after this the pilgrims learned that they were to have two patient guides. Miss Cabell and Mr. Hill, and from their own number they chose Miss Biron.g, Miss Rose O ' Connell, Miss Shine, Miss Helen Ryan and Miss Huston. Then laden with guidebooks and such materials as they would need on their way they went on and on through the streets of the city and then past sharp boulders, deep chasms and raging torrents. When the strength of this brave band began to fail they decided to make merry again. With blithesome hearts they sang and danced and listened to the amusing tales of their two guides. Again the pilgrims started forth, but they had not gone far when they decided to call the entire city together on the mountain where they might pay homage to those who had lived and died for their country. In word and song they reverently honored these brave heroes and heroines. Once more they took up their burdens and started on their v ay. Through mist and shadow they went bravely. The regions of winds and rocks and desolate sunshine turned them not out of their path. Far into the night they 69 journeyed but here they looked above them and were cheered by the gleaming light of the stars. One lovely June day the cloud that had enveloped everything rolled away and the travelers found themselves at the summit of the mountain that over- looked the city. They looked down below in silent admiration. Suddenly a new, wonderful feeling filled the hearts of every person there. Then a re- sounding shout echoed and reechoed down the great mountain — for at last their hearts ' wish was granted. The city at their feet was to be theirs! Never again would they search for another one! This was their city — their land — their home! B.

We make a roll hem on our pies; We scallop our tomatoes ; We baste our meat and hook the eyes In all of our potatoes. We shir our eggs, enrich our cake. And often whip our cream. Our salads — how we try to make Just like the neat French seam. We shorten dough, and fix a band Whene ' er we make a pie. We fold in whites and overhand Our tarts to passers-by. And so altho ' you did not know You ' ve seen if you did look That what we do whene ' er we sew We do whene ' er we cook. D ' rMTCrttN i Lucille Palmer. •DUR-DljIl-DLrT- ! °- SH - -q N PtH e NCE K,T.

The outward and visible sign of this is the beautiful building now going up on the campus with its complete equipment for the research and application of every form of household economics in contrast to the little kitchen where the class first began its work. As to the inward and spiritual grace — for it is a grace to know not only how food is best prepared but to also know its physiological value in the body and the best conditions under which such a body can develop — it is represented by the spirit of the class: such a spirit as will make the students wish to be m.ore than teachers of mere cooking and sewing but rather strong leaders of a movement which shall train the children in our public schools to be not only keepers of the house but makers of the homes.

And the clay has crumbled and dried; When all our ideas are exhausted, And our critics are satisfied. We shall rest — and faith we shall need it ; Lie down for a month or two Until some fifty youngsters Shall set us to work anew. And those that were good shall be happy ; They shall sit in a little red chair And tell fairy stories to children Who have never a trouble or care. They shall find real children to work with, Felice, and Irving, and Paul; They shall work until midnight on patterns Not supposed to be tired at all. But there ' ll be no critics to praise them, And there ' ll be no critics to blame ; And they ' ll work a little for money And they ' ll work a little for fame; But most for the joy of working And each in her separate place Will work her best and her hardest To bring joy to some youngster ' s face. Helen Heath. Haste thee, nymph, and don ' t delay. Bring with thee thy Mother Play, Balls and sticks, and all sized rings. Cubes, and strips, and colored things Such as hang on Christmas trees And children love and make with ease; Songs that strain not tender chords. Each game that so much joy affords. Come, and spend the happy hours With nature ' s birds and colored flowers And lead with thee in thy right hand The morning talks which we have planned. Molly Levin. Character Cameos Height, 5 ft. 5.

Deaf-Oral Department Many students of the college are not familiar with the work of the deaf- oral course, except, perhaps, when the deaf class at the Parker Practice School give their annual entertainment at assembly. At present but one student is taking the course at Normal. In this department a one-year graduate course is given to those who desire to teach the deaf, with an addi- tional scholarship of three hundred dollars each to graduates. There are two methods of teaching the deaf. The French method develops the mind through a system of sign-language. A pupil of this method can only communicate with persons who have studied the sign language. The French method is being gradually replaced by the American system, which aims to teach the pupil through speech and lip reading. The French method is a four-year course, pupils being admitted at the age of fourteen. These pupils are called deaf and dumb ; those educated by the American or oral method, deaf-oral. The public schools of Chicago, supervised by Miss Mary Mc- Cowen, use the American system, v. ' hich is slower than the French. A deaf child may enter the schools at any age. The term is generally completed in ten years. These children are given a chance in the v;orld. There are many deaf classes in the schools now. The Deaf-Oral Department of the Parker School furnished the entertain- ment for the college assembly recently, and the audience was unanimous in praising its wonderful work. All its stages were represented from the begin- ners, who hardly know their own name, to the highest classes, who can dis- course like orators, and can dance in perfect time without hearing the music. In the lover grades, activities were most emphasized and the children ran, galloped, hopped, and flew at the teacher ' s bidding. They also played the games all children know, such as jump the rope and seesaw. In these games they counted and never missed the exact number that they were to count. Voice and speech work was also represented, and the mastering of the vowel sounds v as shown. A higher class gave some very interesting type sketches of the peddlers seen throughout the city, and their cries were as real as their costumes. Norma Jensen. 77 The Spirit of the Practice Schools ' Tis an ancient truth, yet ever manifesting itself anew, that the spirit shin- ing within is reflected from the mirror of worthy words and deeds. Every teacher, every child, feels the glad spirit of the practice school he claims as his. Let us take a peep into the primary rooms of the school where so many of Italy ' s sons and daughters come to drink at the fountain of American educa- tion. Black eyes, sparkling bright — no malice lurking there, but the bubbling spirit of happy childhood — and clear olive skin framed by a wealth of curly raven hair form a picture of physical loveliness which we sometimes almost mistake for the living models of Raphael. Here and there the little almond-eyed children smile a shy welcome to us. Listen to the soft, musical voices, and see the eager, happy look on each child ' s face, telling of the splendid little spirit within. Nowhere in this great city of striving, ambitious people do we find a stronger spirit of rising above difficulties than among these very children. They love their teachers, and their teachers love them, and together they make a determined effort to become worthy and intelligent citizens of this, our great land. So well do they succeed in mastering difficulties that many of them begin to feel the thrill of the busy world about them. That is why we miss so many of their faces when we visit the upper grade rooms. Though we find a more cosmopolitan class of children in these grades, there is a very rich field for the teacher. Here the children of five or six different nations con- tribute their ideas and ideals, and together with those of the teacher, weld themselves into strong and worthy children of our dear old Uncle Sam. Now let us take our way to the wonderful new school, of which we have all heard so much. Only recently have these children moved into their new home, but the very fact that they needed a new and larger home clearly betokens the spirit progressive among them. We see that here the Celtic and Teutonic types predominate — strong in mind and body, Vi ith ready, willing hands. A glance at their faces reveals their inner spirit. It is the spirit of those whose hearts and hands are in their work. 78 It is true, the beautiful building in which they live might furnish them with never-ceasing inspiration, but it is also true that only the recognition of the possibilities for greater development in these children could have procured such a splendidly equipped school for them. The same spirit which dominated the old school will show itself in greater strength in the new, for where greater opportunities of doing things well are offered more response is sure to follow. Dear members of the new practice school, you are like the bud of a much-prized plant, which, shedding its plain covering, blossoms forth and exposes the beauty which has been hidden within. But you have this advantage, your beauty need never fade. And now may we go to the school which stands within the shadow of our own. Even before we enter its portals we feel its charm upon us. The green grass and trees and the merry singing birds, athrill with life and hope, seem to foretell what we are to find within. Our expectations are fulfilled, for in the very entrance corridor two well- chosen pieces of statuary stand guard at either side of the main stairway. Surely no others than those to whom the best development of children is the central interest could have placed them there. These silent guards bid you welcome and invite you to visit where you will. Scarcely have you left the guards when you come upon other evidences of thought and a keen sense of the beautiful. Growing plants in the windows and corridors, and soft, mellow light falling through beautiful and symbolic stained-glass windows tell us that a great loving spirit must be at work here. Can we find that spirit in the class rooms? Let us visit some and see. Not a room without eager, enthusiastic children, whose faces and manners bespeak their love of service and loyalty for their school. The light of worthy conquest shines from their eyes, and in our hearts we know that every child is truest blue through and through. Dear boys and girls, let the light of the sweet spirit you possess make bright all the dark places you may find. But are the children the only members of the practice schools? you ask. Ah, no, a band of noble workers guides the destinies of these children and of the practice students. The name critic conceals the helpful friend of child and student. Each member of this good band gives herself to the service of childhood, and the training of others to do the same. Can the nobility of such work ever be overestimated? May we always, as now, have the most capable and inspiring of Chicago ' s teachers in our practice schools, and may the spirit of their lives go out to all the schools, through the young teachers going out, filled with their spirit and enthusiasm. AlHe C. Moll. The Weekly The Chicago Normal School Weekly is a student publication appearing each Monday at two o ' clock. It is devoted to school news and the discus- sion of topics of interest to the college and generally contains some literary composition of special merit. The editors are students who have been especially successful in their English work in the college, with two advisory editors — Miss Fitzgerald of the English Department and Mr. Morrow of the Art Department. Special assignments are given to the editors each week except those who have assignments from week to week as the News and Notes, and Club Editors. The work of the paper is divided into the Editorial, Art, News and Notes, Literary, Clubs, and Assembly Departments. The editorial v riters are changed from week to week. Any literary composition of value is welcome to the paper so that all the students are represented here. Contributions of any nature are gladly received, and these varying from issue to issue make the paper interesting. The staff of this year has been composed of Seniors and Juniors so that some will be left to carry on next year ' s work when a new corps of competent assistants will be chosen.

Under the efficient officers of the last two semesters it has prospered. The plays which have been given have also made it successful. Beside the plays which were given in our auditorium, others were given outside of the school — thus making dramatic art serve a philanthropic purpose. Then, too, the club has shown its artistic side by designing bookplates. The club wished to leave behind it actual traces of itself. So from numerous bookplates, which the committee submitted, one for all our S. D. C. books was accepted by the art department. The Schoolmistress On January 17, 1913, the faculty, students and their friends crowded into the auditorium at both afternoon and evening performances of The School- mistress, a farce in three acts by Sir Arthur W. Pinero, long heralded by the Weekly, posters in the front hall, and by S. D. C. members with numerous tickets to sell. The hearty laughter and applause of the audience showed that even the most extravagant promises made in the Weekly, by the posters, and by the inspired ticket sellers were being fulfilled. Esther Allison ' s portrayal of the spinster schoolmistress was particularly realistic. Gertrude Shea in the role of the Hon. Vere Queckett was respon- sible for many a peal of laughter. Mabel Birmingham interpreted with grace and naturalness the part of Peggy, and Ema White made an excellent lovelorn Dinah, while Mary Walker and Mignon Lawson did much to 83 add to the rollicking, playful spirit of the play. Dorothy Smith made a splendidly ferocious Admiral Rankling, doubly so in contrast to the meek little Mrs. Rankling (Ethel Cummings), who was frightened almost into oblivion when the admiral called Emma! Mr. Mallory was an ardent lover indeed and his babyish nephew, Mr. Saunders (Madolyn Fitzpatrick), was not entirely unversed in the art. Mary Bertolotti and Mary Lucas, with their cockney dialects, made splendid servants. Jessie McGeever did very good work in the part of the oratorio — no, gomic opera composer, and Hazel Curry and Victoria Seaburg were decidedly calm and cool firemen. In the words of the Weekly, the play won a victory for the cause of the farce on the amateur stage in that it succeeded in arousing hearty genuine laughter without malice or vulgarity. The Time— Thursday, May 29, 1913. The Place— The College Auditorium. The Girls— The S. D. C. And the Play— Much Ado About Nothing. That is enough. A play by the S. D. C, we all know what that means. When the time came for the Senior Dramatic Club to choose its spring presentation a discussion arose as to whether it would be better to give a Shakespearean play as has been the custom of the club, or a more modern play as Sheridan ' s Rivals. Many good arguments were advanced on both sides, but the friends of Shakespeare came out victorious by a large vote of the club. The play decided on vjas Much Ado About Nothing. The cast of characters was: Benedick lice Lee Herrick Dogberry Florence Meyers Leonato Frances Duffy Verges Dorothy Lewis Don Pedro Stella Kelly Count Claudio Ellen Olson Don John Julie Carol Rosaire Antonio Gertrude Shea Eorachio Hazel Curry Conrad Mary Conner The Friar Elsie Bower Balthazar Elsie Bower The Sexton Selma Xiedergesaess Seacoal Irma Fremont Oatcake Hilda Waalkes Beatrice Mary Kirwen Hero Madolyn Fitzpatrick Ursula Kathryn Browne Margaret Irma Hagen Officer Stella Reichman Page Mollie Levin Lords Henrietta Schnable, Margaret O ' Reilly Ladies Gertrude ' an Kempma. Mignon Lawson Bo -s Anna Murphy, Mollie Levin, Marie Heraty, Mabel Altpeter 84 The parts were all taken with the ease and excellence which is characteristic of all the S. D. C. plays. Madolyn Fitzpatrick was truly the sweet and gentle Hero, with a most gallant lover in Ellen Olson as Count Claudio. Mary Kirwan was the pert, saucy Beatrice to perfection, while Alice Lee Herrick as Benedick was immense. The love scenes were charming, both lovers making love to their respective lady loves as if they actually meant it. Frances Duffy as Leonato presented the tender father with a wonderful ease and grace, while Stella Kelly as Don Pedro was a very dignified and gracious Prince. Julie Carol Rosaire as Don John and Hazel Curry as his accomplice, Borachio, were just the sneaky, villainous villains that we love so to see in plays. We hate them heartily for their despicable tricks, and rejoice when they are at last foiled, but all the while admiring them for their excellent acting. Not enough praise can be given to Florence Meyers as Dogberry, and Dorothy Lewis as Verges. The least we can say is that both were truly wonderful in their parts. In the smaller parts, each one did her share in making the play a success. Sigh No More, Ladies was sung beautifully by the Misses Lewis, Browne, O ' Reilly and Schnable. The dance in Act H was as dainty and sweet as it could be. The costumes were most becoming and greatly added to the beauty of the performance. The curtain never balked once ; the lights were ever on the job ; not a piece of scenery was knocked over. Much Ado About Nothing has certainly added to the laurels of the S. D.

Since then these enterprising Juniors, under the name of The Junior Drama Players, have been busily engaged in the task of proving their worth as one of the clubs of the Chicago Normal College. Their success is due, largely, to the splendid beginning made under the first corps of officers together with the work of the consti- tutional committee. No less credit is due to those officers of the present semester. Under their direction the club has given very interesting programs in the meetings, one of which was in the form of a reception to the Senior Dramatic Club. The entertainment for the afternoon was under the direction of Miss Eileen Gerty, v ho arranged a delightful program of aesthetic and folk dancing. The first and only play given by the Junior Drama Players was one of Margaret Cameron ' s amusing little comedies — The Piper ' s Pay — a sequel to the Kleptomaniac, given by the Seniors last year. The cast was as follows : Mrs. Burton (Peggy) Edna Bonheim Freda Dixon Rose Ward Mabel Anna McCaffrey Evelyn Evans (reporter) Lucille Palmer Mary Clarke (detective) Alice Thompson Mrs. Hereford Carr Catherine Byrne Katie (maid) Ethel James Those who witnessed the performance voted it an entire success. Those of us who leave the ranks of the Juniors for those of the Seniors wish, to you who are left to carry on the work of the Junior Drama Players, successful growth and excellent achievement. 87 ( PaESIPEriT VICE-PCESIDEMT TRILAQUKER Officers President Isabelle Condon Vice-President Agnes O ' Donnell Treasurer Elizabeth Mulbrandon Reporter Isabel Wier The Literary Club Plays are not an unknown factor in our college life, but these plays do not usually have as their authors students of our school. On September 23, the Literary Club presented Literary Ladies, a one-act, one-scene play, written by Miss Frances Ryan and staged by Mr. Hooper, our club adviser. The players were all members of this club. The cast was composed of Mabel Birmingham, Isabel Weir, Madeline Ryan, Mary Kerwin, Madolyn Fitz- patrick, Mignon Lawson, Frances Ryan, Xenia Bilhorn, and Isabelle Condon. During the past year the membership of our club has been small. This is probably due to the fact that the juniors now have the Junior Dramatic Club to occupy their spare time and the seniors are such busy people that they find it hard to belong to more than one or two clubs. The work of the first semester was the writing and discussing of short stories, and of the second semester the discussion of plots suitable for one-act, one-scene plays. The social side was not neglected, and almost all of our meetings had some time set apart for good times and the inevitable eats. Officers President Nellie R. Georgeson Vice-President Marie Johnson Secretary-Treasurer Mae Cunningham Reporter Miss Bastian Adviser Mr. Ashley Cui Bono Club Some philosophical Normalite has remarked that clubs are like comets. Undiscernible to the unaided eye, its faint luminosity appears; weekly it grows brighter; at length with a brightness increasing in accelerated ratio, it dazzles us by its glare, and finally retires into the night from whence it came. It has been the aim of the members of the Cui Bono to make their club a constellation of radiant permanency. During the first semester we prospered under Miss Koier ' s presidential guidance. One of the most interesting meetings was Mr. Eggers ' lecture on the Psychology of Dress. Our most popular meeting was the Irish Meeting. The beginning of the second semester marked a reorganization of our forces. We began with a most brilliant and successful social. Yale met Harvard in a psychological track meet, where our motor control underwent a severe test. Our very efficient social committees did not forget that music hath charms to sooth even the psychologist ' s troubled heart, and Mr. Ashley ' s victrola records were a rare treat. At the subsequent meetings we have dealt with many interesting subjects. Among these were Why Worry, Love, The Significance of Dreams, and the Borderland of Sleep, the latter a discussion on ghosts. The president has worked hard to make the club a success. Its future career rests with the members of the coming classes. 4e IB PRE3IPEHT SECRETARY TREASURiE.

The club aims to promote sociability among its members; to make a study of pho- tography; to contribute to the beauty of the campus through gardening; and to cooperate with the elementary schools in Home and Community garden work. During the present school year many members learned to make lantern slides by two processes: by pencil work and photography. Printing and developing of pictures was also learned. In addition to this, fifty sycamores and one thousand cuttings of shrubs have been planted on the campus. A large number of the members are taking an active part in Home and Community garden work in connection with the elementary schools. This work has great possibilities for the future. 90 b m f 41 f 1?

Senior Glee Club Last September the Junior Glee Club of 1911-12 became the Senior Glee Club of 1912-13 with forty members, and we were all proud of our new title although it didn ' t quite fit. With our able leader, Miss Garthe who always greets us with a pleasant smile and a cheery come in, we have enjoyed many happy hours and have achieved a large measure of success. Greatest among the many events of the year in which we have tried to give to the school music of the highest standard were the Fall and Spring Festivals. At the former we gave a cantata, Twilight Pictures, assisted by Mrs. Herdien and Mrs. Blauer-Waskow as soloists. On Graduation Day in January we rendered two songs, Springtide Greet- ing and Swallows to Southward. We have just presented another cantata, Sir Oluf, for the Spring Fes- tival, when we were fortunate in having Mrs. Herdien and Mr. Chris An- derson as soloists.

Nevertheless, the few times the club did meet were spent in hard work and a great deal was accomplished. Play, however, was not neglected, and several social affairs v, ere given during the year. Among them was a dancing party and a peanut social. The final presentation of the club was at the Bartlett Gymnasium on April 26. The occasion was an exhibition before teachers of gymnastics and ath- letics, to show the work being done in this city. Our club was well repre- sented and danced Blouette, Starlight, and the German Peasant Dance. Those v ho took part enjoyed the experience immensely. The Dancing Club has long been among the very prosperous clubs at the Normal College. Let it remain so, and let it exist as long as the school itself. Surely it will with such a home as it will have in the future. Our one regret is that the new building was not ready for us to use. A club of seniors, dignified, sedate. When practice-teaching, or in wise debate Over some problem in a psychologic strain Or a chart in education where they work with might and main. But when it is 2:30 on Thursday afternoon. Their schcolma ' am ' s diess and manner cannot be doffed too soon. A buzz is in the dressing-room and all along the hall To the Parker Gymnasium where they gather, thort and tall. At first, to sweet waltz music, their gestures they go through, Their movements full of grace, their curtesies deep and true. Then all their dances, scores and scores, in unison they give ; They all know every one of them, in them they truly live. Miss Bruce is their director, no better could be found; She loves them well and in them all her fondest hopes are bound. Bluett, the German Peasant, and Starlight are their best. Many times, and willingly, they ' ve danced them by request. The members hold this free-est hour the best in all the week, A sweet place in their memories, when all are teachers meek. B.

IT PTiE5IDE.HT SECRETARY TREA5UEL15 VKL-PRE lUfflT Arts and Crafts Club The Arts and Crafts Club has appeared to be a company in seclusion, during our last school term. However retired we may have seemed, we have nevertheless been busily engaged throughout the year. During this as well as last year, our membership has been restricted to fifteen members because we found that a smaller club could accomplish more work than one of unre- stricted membership. In order to become a member of the club each applicant was asked to submit an article to a committee for inspection. Mrs. Miller and Mr. Eggers served as judges on this committee and some of the articles were accepted because of the industry and fine workmanship which they portrayed, while others were approved because of the art and originality employed. Our first problem was to decide what line of work to pursue for the year. Mr. Eggers described a certain kind of mosaic bead work to the club which had been on exhibition in Dresden, Germany. This we thought would be exceedingly interesting but we had difficulty in securing proper materials, and this idea was finally abandoned. We later decided to work out holiday art problems for use in the schools. So that instead of the eternal Thanks- giving turkey, Christmas Santa, or Hallowe ' en pumpkin, which have all been used to distraction, we worked out designs for the respective holidays which would involve a variety of designs and motives, symbolical or sug - gestive of the holiday which they represented. These designs were then adapted to different uses as: decoration for Jack o ' Lanterns, calendars, books and stencils. After working out these problems all of the members took part in organ- izing material for the following program, given on March 30 in the College auditorium. 1. Calendars Miss Fogelson 2.

SECRETAIiY Officers President Margaret Steinkraus Vice-President Selma Niedergesaess Secretary Clara Scholpp Treasurer Marjorie Vincent Die Deutsche Gesellshaft Owing to the recent introduction of German into the Normal School the German club has not a long history of which to boast. Under the direction of Mrs Dillon the Deutsche Gesellshaft was organized in Sep- tember, 1912. Miss Olschner was elected first president; Miss Steinkraus, vice-president; Miss Shafer, secretary; Miss Vincent, treasurer; and Miss Brady, reporter. To those interested in the German language and customs was extended an invitation to become members. The club started with a membership of about twenty-five. The first year of its life has been very successful, and with such a beginning a bright future is promised. Seldom does a group of German-speaking people come together without enjoying their songs, dances, games and, most important of all, Kaffee and Kuchen. Kaffeeklatschen were not rare occasions in the life of the Deutsche Gesellshaft. Songs professing love for the fatherland, chil- dren ' s songs, and some which were indeed very sentimental were always sung with the greatest zest. Professor von Noe of the University of Chi- cago, Professor Cutting, Mr. Schmitthofer and Mrs. Gronow, of the School of Education numbered among the visitors and speakers for the club dur- ing the year. Among the graduates in February, ' 13, were several of the members and officers of our club. The new students rapidly filled their places, and the club went on as of old. There was need of a reelection of officers. As a result of the election we have Miss Steinkraus as president; Miss Nieder- gesaess as vice-president; Miss Scholpp as secretary; Miss Vincent as treas- urer; Misses Grady and Guggenheim as reporters; Miss Borgwardt as music director, and Miss Gottlieb as chairman of the program committee. The program committee is certainly worthy of commendation for it cer- tainly has done its work well in arranging for the many enjoyable gath- erings. 100 COLLEGE BASKET BALL TEAM BASKET BALL Occupying most of their time dodging the countless number of young women, or finding some lonely spot to themselves, the college young men still found spare time for some form of recreation. Limited by the number of male students it was impossible to muster up a football team, and basket ball was chosen as the only sport they could really attempt with success. Seven men were capable of playing, and with these seven we played throughout the winter, losing and winning games from different schools. It may truthfully be said it took the college boys, until, probably, January to settle down and win games, which we did, St. Phillips High School receiving the first defeat. Strengthened by a new member in February, the team struck a wonderful winning gait, winning about eight games straight. Some of the teams which fell in defeat in this train of victories were: Lane College, Crane College, St. Cyril ' s College, St. Phillips High School, and even our star neighbor, Parker High School. One of the features of the season was a series of basket ball games with Parker High School, which happened, unfortunately, at the time of the illness of our star player, which affected the ou tcome not in our favor. The line-up of team: Left forward Lawrence Olsen Right forward Wallf red Wallgren Center Charles Lejeck Left guard Donald Bassett Right guard Philip Burness Right guard John Lyden It was thought enough men would enter in February to make a baseball team possible but, much to our sorrow, the expected did not arrive, and, as a consequence, the college is not represented by a baseball team this year. It is a known fact that the social life of the young men of the college is quite handicapped by their number. As the new arts and gymnasium build- ing is rising every day, the prospect of more male students is promising. HOCKLEY Field hockey, welcome to the Emblem! Yes, this is its first appearance in he Normal year book. The fact is it arrived at Normal with Miss Ballard last September and is now established here as the best of all sports. Of course, it is the latest in athletics! But, we warn you, do not let your French or English neighbors, across the sea, hear you say so, lest you shock them, for the French have played it since the fourteenth century and the English since the sixteenth. A great favorite with women ' s colleges (like our own except that they lack the male element), it has become a permanent athletic institution. At Normal, it certainly is a favorite. Ask any girl on either the Senior or Junior team and you will not need any further evidence of the truth of this statement. All members of both teams are very enthusiastic and interested in the game. At practice, each member tries her best to develop all the skill she possibly can in dribbling, passing, or making a drive (of forty feet or so) straight through the enemy ' s goal. But the enthusiasm at practice is not to be compared with the enthusiasm at the games of team against team. These are the climax of the season ' s efforts.

Accordingly, Miss Bruce called a meeting directly after the spring vacation for all the girls interested in this game. This club was divided into two sections — one for the girls just beginning and the other for those more advanced in tennis. The girls showed great enthusiasm at this meeting, sixty beginners and seventeen advanced signing for membership. It was not until June 3, however, that the club actually organized. At this time a meeting was held and a permanent organization was formed. The club was unusually fortunate in having the use of the courts at Hamilton Park for all of their practice and for the tournaments As the club was divided into a section for beginners and one for the more advanced players, it was decided to have two tournaments also under these two heads. Those eligible for entrance to the Beginners ' Tournament must have qualified in the following particulars: to be able (a) to pick up a ball from the ground five times in succession with the racket; (b) to hit a ball against a wall getting it on the bounce and on the volley each ten times in succession; (c) to play forty games or six sets. The Beginners ' Tournament was to be played doubles and two prizes to be given to the winners. It is the hope of the present members of the club that this organization will begin early next spring with a strong membership and enthusiastic spirit and continue to grow in strength from year to year.

And as the years went onward. And savagery lost its place A light shone through Eternity, The light of a civilized race. The race has gone on and developed From the stone to a mighty steel age. From the field and the battle of bloodshed That is written on history ' s page To a time in life ' s existence When brute forces no longer are lords. To a time long sung of by poets. When pens are mightier than swords. We are not weak mortals, We are teachers of men. Trained in the Normal school of life The way to wield that pen. Learning is a powerful genii Asking naught but to aid. In solving the deepest problems of life That on Man ' s threshold are laid. A year is truly a moment. And a mere span of life is so short. But the genii, the light of knowledge, Guides to a richer port Than that of earthly desire. Rising from struggle and strife A port where all shall equal be. Under the genii of life.

Why, but a Httle while ago, We love to glowingly relate How we had wrought the teacher woe. We passed notes and we slyly schemed To keep her ever on the guess ; In tales at home she always seemed To bow before our cleverness. And as for sassing back — dear me! We always kept her in her place. She dared not touch our rights, you see. For so we told her to her face. Alas! ' twas years ago. And now Comes time ' s unfailing recompense; For fate will have revenge, I vow — We ' re on the other side the fence. Dorothy Louise Smith. Class Calendar SEPTEMBER 4, 1911.— This day I wended my way to the famous teachers ' temple, where I shall learn how to teach. First impressions rather con- fused — halls crowded with girls — all seemingly happy. Have courage, thou freshmen. With trembling knees, I approached a table where I was given a program, which, after much puzzling and the help of a noble senior, I translated. Then I finally discovered the room in which I was due the first hour, and breathed a sigh of relief. SEPTEMBER 11.— I found a seat in the school assembly hall after lunch and soon saw a kind, fatherly looking man on the platform. His face was wreathed in smiles and someone said he was our principal — Mr. Owen. He told us of some of the benefits of the Assembly, and its real purpose and value. Then he welcomed the Lower Juniors (as we are to be called) and made us all glad to be students of the Chicago Teachers College. After school I discovered the Weekly, a splendid paper issued by the students and devoted to school life. SEPTEMBER 18. — In Assembly, we were introduced to the different clubs by representatives, who told of the aims and plans of each. SEPTEMBER 21. — We Lower Juniors were given a reception of welcome by the dignified Lower Seniors. Each one was labeled with a J or S painted in white on a little green pennant. We all had a lovely time. SEPTEMBER 29.— After school there was a crowd around Room 200, and 1 heard someone say that they were trying out for entrance into the Senior Dramatic Club. OCTOBER 2. — In Assembly, the girls of the Kindergarten Department showed us how to play. OCTOBER 9. — Chicago Fire Day. The elective class in geography brought back to mind those terrible days of 1871. OCTOBER 17. — Upon reaching the second floor front I was frightened by a long line of ghosts carrying candles.

V eeping and sad farewells. Emblem ' 13 After you have read through our book and have seen what material we have put into it, perhaps it is not necessary to say anything further about our work. But lest, in your reading, you have forgotten to read between the lines and look for the aims and aspirations behind our work, we shall take this opportunity of bringing them forth. At the first meeting of the editors it was decided that our book should fairly represent all classes and organizations of the college. This meant the cooperation of class and club officers which we found was ours from the be ' inning. In obtaining group photographs for the book we owe much to Mr. Gardner. The editors also decided that, as this is really the publication for the Seniors, each member of the two Senior classes should have some individual representation. As a result of this decision you have seen the individual pictures and read the personal comment about each member. Mr. Weed was the maker of the individual photographs and his cooperatio.i with the staff has been a great help to us. Our publisher, the Methodist Book Concern, has worked with us and aided us in making our book what it is. Mr. Eggers, our class adviser, has given all our work his supervision and we wish to thank him for devoting his time and support to our book. Any deficiencies which you may find we ask you to excuse because of the abbreviated time which we had to devote, a bare two months when a year would be too short.
