For when in 1856, a department for training teachers was established in the city for the first time, it was merely an additional course in the Central High School. Later the department assumed a more professional tone when it became a School of Practice in the Scammon School building under Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Until 1870 no entrance examinations were required and students were freely admitted on high school certificates. The examina- tions then established were discontinued after five years, and then such an influx of students came from all over the country that the supply of teachers far exceeded the demands, and the school was given up for fifteen years. During that time high school graduates who passed sat- isfactory teachers ' examinations and cadetships were given positions. In 1893 the City Normal School, as it was then called, was reopened with Miss Theresa McGuire and our Mrs. Hardinge as instructors. Three years later, 1896, the property on which the College now stands was given to the Board of Education to maintain a Normal School for Chicago and Cook County. New ideas of education were worked out here, for Colonel Parker, the principal, was a radical and a reformer setting up against the old mechanical methods, a new spirit of fresh contact between teacher and pupil. Practical teaching under the guidance of critic-teacher and college supervisors was instituted. The kindergarten and manual train- ing departments had their start, and in 1906, the deaf-oral department under Miss Mary McCowen was established in the school. In 1905 the old Cook County building was replaced by the one now in use, and in 1915 was added the new Arts Building with its gymnasium and swimming tank providing for the physical health of the College and its fuller development. But by far the greatest infiuence in the College was the principal- ship of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, beginning in 1908. Then it was that the school began to take the position of dignity in the educational world which it holds today under Mr. Owen ' s competent direction. It is well to remember that there have been big people on our faculty in the past and that there are now.

ONE of the most important ceremonies in which a lower Junior takes part is a formal int roduction to the library. In one short hour she is told of all it contains, and where she may find whatever will aid her in her eager search for knowledge. She learns that there are twenty- five thousand volumes, classified according to the Dewey System; that reference books and magazines are in the west end, and that a card cata- logue at the east end directs her to the books on the shelves. Later she finds the pamphlets about everything of possible value, and the latest and best magazines for current topics and literature, which are great helps. There are two attractive spots in the library which everyone watches with expectant interest. One of these is the library bulletin board, usually posted with charming illustrations appropriate to various holi- days and seasons and instructive clippings of announcement. Students are indebted to Miss Dickey, head librarian, for the special effort she makes in filling these boards. The other bright spot is the center table, always lovely with flowers and plants, which are so often of such a nature as to be a special treat to those botanically inclined. Miss Dickey is assisted by Miss Bates in the library work. Both are wonderful people, for, given a subject and a minute, they will show you the book containing the best information available. If a worried student asks for the Geographical Gastropaedia, it is understood that she means the Geographical Gazetteer, while her sister-in-distress, who can- not find The Child ' s Ear, is given The Listening Child and goes on her way rejoicing. A most popular place is this Normal College Library. Marccllii J . CordesiiKui. Life in the Arts Building THE beautiful addition to the Normal College is no longer called the new building. It is permanently known as the Arts and Gym- nasium Building, where all the branches of art — household, graphic, and industrial — flourish, and where social and athletic activities are carried on. The Normal students are justly proud of this splendid structure. The gymnasium in its size and equipment is superb as an athletic field, and equally fine as a dance hall, as we who enjoy the social hour every Friday afternoon acknowledge. With the gymnasium is the white tiled natatorium and the shower room. Of all the places in the Normal School there is none quite as popular as this cool, glistening aquarium. On the second floor of the building we find the household arts students, happy in their well equipped department. Tempting odors issue forth from the kitchen during the day; and at times honored guests are served with delicious luncheons in the cozy dining room. The dress making, millinery, and textile rooms a re so sunny and pleasant, that to many it is a recreation to work in them. With Miss Cabell as a charm- ing hostess, the afternoon teas and receptions in the social rooms have been decided successes. Up in the department of graphic arts, Mrs. Miller, Mr. Batterer, and Mr. Eggers hold court in their charming studios. The enthusiastic students, stimulated by the artistic surroundings and splendid equip- ment, strive to attain perfect results, whether it be designing, lettering, or figure. The masculine contingent of the College is represented in the de- parment of manual training. The whir of machines, the clanking of mallet on metal, the tap-tapping of the hammers, are lively accompani- ments to the work carried on by the young men. Years hence, as the Normal Students look back upon their school career, their delightful life in the Arts Building will stand out pre- eminently in their memories. Marjoric E. Kimptriu. Parker Practice School WHAT Colonel Parker meant by complete living can be seen by a visit to the Parker School. Because of its proximity we have come to feel that the Normal College and Parker School are one, and so they are, — at least in their early history. Because this school has come to be such an integral part of our Normal School life, we are prone to accept all without noticing its exceptional qualities. A mere glance at the school itself, the customs that prevail, and the spirit manifested by the children, makes one feel that the Parker is not a school of ordinary kind. Anyone who has witnessed the parade and has seen room after room march by and salute the flag, realizes that the spirit of the Parker School is unique and indescribable. But it is in its departmental work that this school is realizing the ideals of the founder of this institution. The Deaf-Oral Department, with Miss McCowen at its head, is doing splendid work to alleviate the misfortunate. The Silent Voice, or lip reading has widened the horizon of those who have been deprived of speech. Bookbinding and woodwork, although taught only as occupa- tional studies are really intended as an introduction to industrial edu- cation. The domestic science department offers an opportunity for pleasant as well as useful experiences. First of all, though last men- tioned, is the kindergarten ; so well organized, and with such sunny rooms, that we are inclined to consider this the crowning point of our depart- mental work. But it is only after visiting classes in all departments that we are led to the conclusion that the same spirit prevails throughout — pleasantness mutually combined with work. Florciicc Bcnistcni. Carter Practice School EIGHT years ago our Normal Faculty discovered an ideal school. This is where our Normal students ought to learn to teach, for here the ideals which we have been setting up in theory have been attained in reality, said our Faculty. This ideal school was the Carter, then located at 61st Street and Wabash Avenue. Every one who knew the Carter School at that time realized that it was the unique Carter spirit which had captivated our Faculty. However, this spirit was then but budding; it has grown and grown until now it is in the blossoming stage of a hardy perennial. Those of us who were fortunate enough to spend ten weeks here, were impressed by the oneness of this feeling which radiates from the principal to the teacher, fi ' om the children, and from the work of the entire school. All of us felt it our first day at the Carter School, but it took most of us the greater part of ten weeks to begin to analyze this feeling or Carter spirit. The Carter spirit is a harmonious and delightful balance in all of the work achieved by the unceasing cooperation on the part of the principal and teachers. Cooperation was the key-note to the success of the enter- tainment given this spring by the children of the Carter School. It meant co-operation between the various grades and departments ; every art department was called upon to contribute to the program, music, danc- ing, language, color, design and dramatization. In short, this spring fes- tival was a concrete example of the efficiency and reality of the work conducted by the most efficient of teachers and principals in our city, Miss Lane.

In addition to the very impor- tant fact that it then became a part of our college life, it has been the scene of many interesting educational changes. The years 1913 and 1914 are red letter years in its history. In 1913 Miss Elizabeth Daley became principal of the Haines, and under her guidance several great enterprises have grown up in it. In this year the school was organized as an industrial center, when manual training, sewing, and cooking were given an important enough place in the cur- riculum to fit those who could go no farther than the elementary school, for a place in the industrial world. In this same year the open window room was started, a little counti ' y school, really, where tubercular and anaemic children of all ages hold their classes. Breakfast and luncheon are served each day, and every child is supplied with a cot on which to take his nap. The open window room is supported by Cyrus McCormick. The Haines School is also a pioneer in the penny lunch room move- ment. In January, 1914, Miss Daley, with no outside help began this enterprise. A success from the beginning, the lunch room now serves over six thousand lunches every month. The Haines District offers very little in the way of amusement to the small Italians living there, and the little recreation they do have, comes from the big school house on Twenty-third Place. We who have worked there realize that they greatly need to be made happy, for they are little pilgrims, lonesome for their warm, sunny Italy. s Florence Rciiistciii. WILLIAM BISHOP OWEN To give au adequate expression of the love and respect we have for our Principal would be impossible, but we will be happy if a few of our many deep sentiments reach his ear. To us who know him so well, he is the embodiment of kindness, firmness, energy and force. When we need an adviser, when we need encouragement, when we need a friend, we turn with confidence to William Bishoji Owen. We find in him one who never fails to resi ond, no matter what the demands we make on his time or his labors.

It is on this account that the very best teaching is needed in the Elementary School, and for this reason particularly that the Elementary Course was ar- ranged. If asked what course they are taking at the Chicago Normal College, seven hundred and eighty-nine students would reply, I am taking the Elementary Course. Elementary Course! It covers only two years yet what a change it implies in the outlook, ability and training of those who take it. We came up to Normal with the student point of view: to learn what we please because it is directly a benefit to ourselves, to do as little work as possible, and get a mark by fair means or foul. We leave here with the children occupying first place in our minds, conscious that the more we learn the more we need to learn and with the desire to work for the work ' s sake and not for a mark. Does not a child spend eight very important years of his life in the Elementary School? Eight years during which his habits are formed, his instincts are brought out, his spontaneity is either crushed or allowed to develop, his character is molded and his ethical ideals are established. Eight years in which he is to be developed into an honest, upright and just citizen capable of withstanding any crisis. And is not his teacher ithe one who deserves great credit if he attains these ends ? We often say that the Elementary Course through Psychology, Ethics, and Education, provides for the moral standards which we shall develop for the child. Through the most competent instructors we have become, if not adepts, at least, thoroughly advised from a theoretical standpoint concerning the presentation of material to the children, and what to expect from them. Technical schools are renowned for combining theory and practice. Is not that what we do? After the theory has been expounded we are allowed to test it in practice and even then special method is introduced to aid us in our difficulties and to counsel us as to the correct course. All ought to appreciate what the Elementary Course in the Chicago Normal College does for the Chicago Public Schools of today. Marion L. Daks. OQ Q Dnrnlhy Cilmfir,- Franc. Stella Senior Kindergarten Class Many of the girls who will graduate this June do not realize that there are four months of cadet and substitute work ahead of them, before they receive their certificate. The Kindergarten girls know what a great part in their training this work is; for they not only have cadet and substitute work in the kindergarten, but often in any grade from first to eighth, including cooking and sewing and even manual training. The wide perspective gained in doing this is apparent, and the girls have often received oflters for positions in grades of schools in which they have sub- stituted, which proves that there is something to education in general in their kindergarten training. As for the girls in the graduating class of June, 1916, read about — A STARRY GROUP Oh! we ' re a class of shining stars, As can be clearly seen. For Catherine won the tennis champ And Ruth made the All-Star swimming team. Lilium, Katherine and Lilith, you see, All belong to the Club of Glee, While Irma, Margaret and Dorothy Are members of the S. D. C. Teresa, Lillian and Margaret three. Belong to the club of Hockey-ee. Gladys and Bernice are wild about golf While May and Grace for camp are oflF. Madeline, Catherine and Mary Malee Compose the group of The Inseparable Three.

Lower Junior Kindergarten Circle Whenever you ' ve nothing much to do, And time on your hanils seems to lie, I ' m sure you will never regret it it ' you Away to our circle hie. There around the table low These faces you ' ll surely find And when at last you turn to go You ' ll bear them thus in mind. First Francis Stellar, a tiny maid, Yet ' tis said of nothing she ' s afraid. Then Norma Schaefer, at once you will see That she is as sweet as sweet as can be. And Alice Kafal, with ever a smile, Speak to her once, you will find it worth while. Anil Rosalind Rothschild, so merry and neat. Ask her for music, she will give you a treat. See! here is Anna Ryan, but please do not stare Or she ' ll blush from her toes to her auburn hair. Now Florence Heunessy, a dainty girl, With always a laugh and a nodding curl. And next, Catherine Graham, ask her to sing. The room with sweet echoes will speedily ring. Oh! here is our Ruthie, your heart will be won What is her last name? Why it ' s Anderson. Right next to Ruth you will find Marie Felt; At once you will say she ' s the best you have met. And Gwendolen Swain will be next to Marie; Her long golden hair is the first thing you ' ll see. And last but not least will be Catherine O ' Connor; To make her accpiaintance is surely an honor. And now that we ' ve made the circle ' s round, I am sure th at you ' ll quickly declare That nowhere can frolic and fun be found In greater abundance than there. Household Arts Department Learn to control the material things which lie about you, to make natural and social forces do your bidding in order that you may have time to make life beautiful, gracious, and worth while. This was the motto which Mrs. Richards, teacher of Chemistry of Boston Institute of Technology, gave to her pupils. She was the one who taught chemistry to the first household arts students and started the household arts movement in this country. She believed in the real joy of living, and we, as grandchildren of her training are trying to bring more joy into the lives of the children by helping them to learn to do as easily as possible some of the necessary things of the home. As a department we stand for happier homes, better home life, and more joy in mere living. Twenty of us go out to teach this year. We leave as our contribu- tion the furnishing of the five-room apartment on the second floor of the Arts Building, which shows in a small way our ideal of how a small home should be furnished. Vehna Clare Claitcw iw ' ' cssa kI ' m The Manual Training Department Oh, yes! Of course, there are men going to Normal, and they make up what is known as the Manual Training Department. At present it consists of just fourteen men who, in outward appearance are just like other men. Their characters, however, are unusually strong. For one thing, the courage they show in coming to the place, is, we think, a little out of the ordinary. There are some six or seven hundred ladies attend- ing the college, and any man who can spend two full years at Normal, and leave it safely, certainly deserves a medal. The department is broadening its scope and improving every day. We have been in the Arts Building for over a year, but have been working without any machinery. This grievance will not continue long, however, as the new machinery will have been installed by the end of this year. I have been informed that a printing outfit is coming. Heretofore we have had no instruction in this line; but in the near future, printing is destined to occupy as prominent a place in the schools as that of wood- work today. Another achievement here at Normal is the introduction of a course in furniture design which deals with furniture from the early periods, all the way up to the present, giving the characteristics and the development of each period. A new course in architectural di-awing was given during the last year, by Mr. McMurry, who also taught the course in furniture design. The wood-working has been limited to a certain degree, but when the new equipment arrives I am sure that under the supervision of Mr. :McMurry and Mr. Eggers, some of the the best work in the city will be turned out by the Manual Training Department of the Chicago Normal College.

With only six players we suffered a greater loss than all our defeats when Paul Wall- jjren and Arthur Schmidt graduated. There were no new recruits to pick from and so we began the new semester by electinj? Boyd captain, and Timnie manager. Fortunately, we were able to secure three good players from our neighbor, Parker High School, to play with us regu- larly. Two games a week were scheduled, making a total of si.xteen games from the last week in January to ' he third week in March. Of the sixteen played four were out of town and twelve in our gymnasium. After the fii ' st game the team played wonderful ball, and won eight straight games. Some of the teams which fell in defeat were: Lane College, Senn College. American College of Physical Education, Bennett Medical College, Englewood and Parker High Schools, and the Stewart Athletic Club. Two games were played with Senn College and three with Parker, all of which resulted in victories for the Normal boys. On the whole, basket ball at Normal in 1916 was a great success. Line-up of the team: O ' Leary; Boyd (Capt.) ; Conklin, forward; Lejeck, center; Wall, Timme and Osterbush, guards. rrimh!eBo d, ' i6. German Department KIRMESS, folk-dances, games, songs, and a club offering unusually good times ! This is what the college sees of the work of the German department. In truth, this is part of the regular work. Most of the training for it occurs in the German minor, taken in Junior year. We know that there is no better way to instill in children interest and love for the German language than through the teaching of German songs, dances and games. In the major work the first semester is devoted to the study of methods of teaching German ; the second semester, to a survey as complete as possible of German literature from its beginnings to the modern times. German history and geography is also studied in so far as it is needed to understand the literature. The demand for teachers of German in the elementary schools is increasing every year, and to supply this demand the number of students enrolled in the department this year is ninety. The spirit of good fellowship is marked among the girls. Much of the credit for this kindly atmosphere is due to the competent guardian- ship of Frau Dillon. Theater parties to the German theater and to the Germanistic Society lectures, are often arranged. These are most beneficial, as they give the girls an opportunity to hear good German. It is expected that next year the department may give a German play. It was intended this year but the Kirmess program left no time for the play. The Deutsche Gesellschaft carries on the German from the social standpoint. Anna D. f.aitz. Deaf-Oral Department One of the most interesting of all departments of the Chicago Normal College is that in which students are trained to teach the deaf. As yet it is a very young department, but even in its youth it has aroused a great interest in the Deaf-Oral work and has supplied the schools with some very capable teachers. Miss McCowen is head of the department, and her valuable help is given both to students in training and to the children themselves. Because these students have become greatly in- terested in the work and realize that only a small portion of the field can be covered in one short year, they decided this year to form a Deaf-Oral Club. Its purpose is two-fold: First, to make a more intensive study of the literature and methods of training, and second, to enable the de- partment to meet socially. With Miss McCowen as Faculty Adviser, Miss Esther Gustafson as President, and Miss Marion Graham as Secre- tary, our newly launched Ship of State is certain to reach port in safety, giving its passengers a wider, better and more complete knowledge of the work they have chosen. Not long ago I was asked why I have selected such a hard, nerve- racking course as the deaf-oral. My answer was, Because I am very much interested in it. Now tell me why you think it hard and nerve- racking? There was no answer and so I proceeded to correct the false im- pression. The conditions described as being so discouraging were nine times out of ten encouraging, because they were the stepping stones to speech — the redemption of the deaf child. We are not discouraged and sorry for having made our choice for we love our work as the artist loves his canvas, or the master of music his song. Knowing that only those who feel as we do will take up the work, we confidently wish the Deaf-Oral Department the greatest success for the future. Dorothy M. Johns. 26 The Classes of the College On the upward path to wisdom, Experience, and knowledge. Classes, four in number Are found within our College. Some are just beginning; Some have reached the top ; Some are bravely striving. They may succeed or not. The Juniors who are lowest Advance by reading books. The Juniors just above them Wear grave and earnest looks. They ' ve seen the flunks and warnings, Gone through Valleys of Despair; While the Seniors next in order Take heart and upward fare. The successful Upper Seniors, Who have fought the fight and won. Look for a moment backward Before their task is done. To that which they have striven for And wherein lies their might. And which as flaming candles Shall ne ' er cease to spread their light. Frances Cordcsman.

It seems as if Old Father Time has retraced his steps until once more it is September, 1914. The hands of the hall clock point to nine. There is tumult and confusion in the corridors. It is our first day at Normal. The scene changes. It is afternoon. We are gathered together as a class for the first time. While we are speculating upon the names and characters of the faculty, the hub-bub stops. Mr. Owen welcomes us. Three or four weeks have elapsed. Again we are in the Auditorium, but this time we are going down the receiving line at the renowned Faculty Reception. I see many groups in the corridoi ' s. Their anxious and drawn faces peer here and there and everywhere, but finally rest on a locker nearby. Five months have passed since we entered Normal, and today it is deter- mined whether or not we deserve the title of Upper Juniors. Green figures seem to move to and fro on the light fantastic toe in the flames. The music ceases. Little maidens dressed in green daintly approach with green ice-cream and cake. It must be our Class Party on St. Patrick ' s Day. The flames die down ; I replenish them. I see the library filled with Lower Seniors, who work from daylight to dusk. How well I can recall that notorious semester before or after practice. The flames flicker. Once more Father Time has swung his sickle, this time leaving us Upper Seniors school leaders. I see a girl with flushed face in front of a class-room. Near the back of the room calmly repose principal, supervisor, critic and practice-stu- dent. To be or not to be passed? That is the question. Girls rush to and fro in the corridors calling Bought your Em- blem? Have you your Announcement money here? Remember to- morrow is your last chance to order pins and rings. Meeting of Class Day Committee and Executive Board tonight in Room 108. Once more I see the Auditorium. One by one, in cap and gown, we slowly cross the platform ; we receive our diplomas ; our goal is reached — we are school-ma ' ams ! The flames die low. Well, let them be. They have told me enough for one night. Mcirioii L. Dalc .

Words of Class Song Once again today we gather, here in Normal ' s hall so dear, Just to say farewell to classmates, faculty and senior year, Just to breathe a word at parting, and a song of praise to you, Alma Mater for your kindness and inspirations new. Chorus Farewell, Normal, though we part, Each to seek a field anew. Memories shall linger fondly and true On these happy days and you. True to ideals you have given, constant to your standards true, Shall our deeds proclaim your wisdom as these days fade from view. Days of happiness and frolic, days of worry and of fears, Formed a love for Normal College to last throughout the years. Marie Tob ' ttt. Class Poem Our trial now is ended ; Our vigil, long, is past. And as knights, but newly knighted. Far we ' d ride and fast. But before we seek our fortunes Up rugged slopes to Fame, We must stop to make a banner With colors, all aflame. Crimson red for practice take, And purple, fit for kings, Is symbolic of our standards; Strength to all, it brings. Yellow, clear and golden. Means naught but treasured love For faculty and classmates. This, all else above. Blue, we ' ll take for loyalty, To Normal ever true, A touch of green for happiness, For joy in all we do. Now, we with finished banner To the morning breeze unfurled. With many fields to conquer. Advance into the world. Frances Curdcsman.

Muse of the adventurous Juniors, who wandered far after they had conquered the death-dealing dragons, Exams and Physi- cals, guarding the entrance to the sacred citadel of Normal. Soon as the early rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, the mighty band of Juniors, worshippers at the shrine of Pedagogy, thronged the noble hall of assembly. Here the band was ruthlessly divided into eight sections, and the journey began. Rumor spread strange tales among the Juniors, as they were called by those who ruled there. They heard of clubs and various associations which met in mysterious council. At length all were invited to these gatherings, and soon became skilled in the ancient and honorable sports of basket-ball, hockey, and tennis, while some swam the foamy deep (for the gods send foam at the heels of the unskilled). Among the Juniors were some who wished to remain always at these games, but were brought back to the shrine by magic scrolls called Warnings. Then did the faculty graciously receive all the Juniors at a mar- velous reception, and right royally were they entertained. Miss Cabell speaking, in winged words, a welcome. Then beautiful maidens brought frappe, a kind of nectar, and all rejoiced that they had been made inmates of the stately hall, and no longer could the Seniors look on them with glances of scornful aloofness. Then a dreadful plague, called Flunks, fell upon some of the number; the rest escaped and journey on, glad to be free, though missing their dear comrades. Now the Juniors had, since their entrance into this land of dubious delights, become famous for lightness of foot. Therefore a great ball was held, to which the faculty came in great numbers and made merry, guest and entertainer alike. Rainbow-tinted ribbons entwined the dancers, while confetti in the tones of sunrise was sprinkled in their glossy locks. Night fell ere the revel ended. Then cruel doom threatened these faithful travelers, for the gods had decreed that nearly one-half of the band should suffer the torments of Practice. Dewy-eyed maidens gathered in crowds about the bulletin board. Assignments were out! Thus did they journey on, sometimes with hearts light as the fleecy clouds, sometimes amid trials innumerable, until they came to their first resting place. Vacation. Here did they part company, going where they willed, until the hour when they should resume their journey. Frances Duffy. 100 □□on RosatinJ Kntliscliild Lower Juniors The executive board and members of the Lower Junior Class make their initial bow to the faculty and students of the College through the Emblem. On the first of February, nineteen hundred sixteen, one hundred twenty students entered and enrolled in the Chicago Normal Teacher ' s College. Their impressions must have been many and varied ; some were amazed, some pleased, and many wondered how they would like this dig- nified college life with its many diversions. Each one viewed the great crowd hurrying along the corridors, talking, laughing and asking ques- tions concerning their next class, and each one thought, I ' ll soon be one of that bright-faced, expectant assembly in their mad rush for knowl- edge. After a week teeming with excitement, we settled down to hard work and bibliographies. The reception tendered to the Lower Juniors by the Seniors, soon after our debut, was a great success ; it was then that we first partook of the famous drink for which Normal is noted. The Faculty Reception was a function which the Juniors will not soon forget. We were introduced to our present and future teachers with quaking hearts, and are still wondering what fate they hold in store for us. But although we are young and lately organized we are optimistic ; and hope is budding in each breast that we will, in the future, with the help of our teachers accomplish great results in the scholastic and social affairs of the school that they will not soon forget the Lower Junior Class of nineteen hundred sixteen. Cam;i!c J ' . CostcUo. Exhortation Away from the beaten paths, Where the footsteps of ages past Have worn a trail, Where trumpets blare and torches flare, And ships pass with filled sail ! Away from frequented marts Where the crowd smothers out thyself, Build thine own destiny ! When adventure beckons and danger reckons Then thy heart sings wtih ecstasy. To the wilds and the desert go Where the ground is yet untrod. Where the way is unexplored ; Where by courage and will thy ideals fulfill. Where thy soul and thy mind are lord ! Je ssie M. Ross.

So, it is no wonder that forty girls, who represent all of the four classes of the school, should be so eager to attend every weekly re- hearsal in room 303. Here, every Wednesday at 2 p. m., the club meets to rehearse numbers to be used at all the public functions of the school, graduation, class day and so on. The club also gives a spring and a fall musical. First Sopranos (iertru.le Bal.lwiu Hazel Gartrell Johauua Pou Helen Brown Auna Hayes Kutherine Power Thelma Collins Marv J.

We began the year by following out the study of English women novelists, which was planned the pi ' evious year, but after discussing the work of George Eliot, we found a more vital thing to do — one which came nearer to us. in the study of contemporary novels as we read them today. The part of our time devoted to poetry was divided between Alfred Noyes, John Mansefield, Vachel Lindsay and Stephen Phillips. The fact that the first three named were in the city this winter heightened our interest in poetry in general, and especially in these men ' s work. We also kept right on reading the poetry of the Imagists who write in Har- riet Monroe ' s Poetry. Through all our study this year, I believe the thing that impressed us was the simplicity and vivid truthfulness of the typical modern literature. The last thing we did and the most successful was the presentation of Shakespeare as a literary artist to an Assembly audience. After studying Shakespeare, certain members of the club were chosen to present to the audience the different expressions of his art: comedy, tragedy, history and lyrical verse. We endeavored to show that all these are poetry, and that these are the windows through which Shakespeare makes poetrv shine. 114 Kalhlec Ryan Florence Casey Lucy Sihalz Kathryt PoKer Senior Dramatic Club Mnr.

With this promising beginning, the club was soon at work to produce the midyear play, The Professor ' s Love Story. It was then that Kathleen Ryan became the lovelorn Professor Goodwillie, in love with Lucy White, other- wise known as Florence Fleming. The other characters of the play were: Dr. Cosens ilargaret Urquhart The Dowager Elsie Carlson Lady Gilding Beatrice Johnson Sir George Viola Godfrey Mr. Renders Lucy Sehatz Pete Kathryn Power Miss Goodwillie Marion Porter Dr. Yellowlees Loretta Kelly Effie Mary English Servant Luella Engel The spring play Jack Straw was given May 19th by the following cast: .Tark Straw Kathleen Ryau Etliel Marjorie Kimpton Mr. Parker-Jennings Loretta Kelly Mrs. Parker-Jennings Mary English Ambrose Holland Alice Walsh Lady Wanley Johanna Pon Lord Serlo Florence Casey Count Adrien Von Bremer Lucv Sehatz Lewis Abbott Mildred Fahy Rose Abbott Elizabeth Larson Mr. Whithers Edna Ternus Mrs. Whithers Hazel Annand Vincent Loretto Quinu The great part of the success of both plays must be attributed to Miss Freeman, whose untiring efforts were directed to coaching them. As for financial success, all credit is due to Mary English, who was business manager for both. The two social events of the year were the midyear party in honor of the S.D.C. members, who were in the February graduating class, and the masque on May 3 — the latter particularly attractive and festive.

It comes to port loaded with rare and precious treasures ; one of the rarest of which is the mem- ory of friendships, formed and renewed at the semi-monthly merry-mak- ing. Best of all is the memoi-y of the unfailing advice and aid of the ship ' s captain. Miss Freeman. Another treasure in which this little ship is rich, is Achievement. Some of that was packed in its treasure chests at the social meetings when the clever programs showed what this crew could do. But more of this treasure was accumulated when the ship stopped at Port Assembly last January to present first for Normal and then for Parker Spreading the News by Lady Gregory. The cast was: Mabel Kernan. Ruth Russell, Margaret Meyer, Grace Reynolds, Lydia Milia, Esther Benzies, Marie McCambridge, Henrietta Kunzler, Irene Scanlon and Mary McMahon. In the spring J.D.P. drew anchor against Port A.s- sembly, and this time The Colonel ' s Maid was presented by the follow- ing: Clarissa Upton, Marie McCambridge, Catherine Wallace, Margaret Meyer, Sybil Archibald, Ruth Lippert, Margarite Fuller, Ruth Hazen and Mary McDonough. And now with treasure chest filled with Happy Memories and Things Well Done, the J.D.P. arrives at success. Good luck to future voy; Drama Players! of this staunch little vessel. Junior Die Deutsche Gesellschaft The German Club was founded several years ago. Its aim is to fur- ther the interest of students in German life and institutions, in German art and literature and last, but not least, to awaken and foster the spirit of Gemuetlichkeit amongst its members. The Club helps its members to speak German, to hear it spoken, and to a more thorough and exact knowledge of the colloquial idiom. Lectures, recitations and musical programs are given. Prominent people often not connected with the Normal School, appear before the Club ; instructors and students give German talks and entertainments ; German plays are practiced and presented ; German Volkslieder are sung. Nor are the traditional German refreshments wanting, though nothing stronger than coffee is served. Within the last semester the Club became pulicly very prominent by featuring in the Kirmess held at the Coliseum for German war suf- ferers, and later in the Zenith Movies, the program that was pi ' epared for presentation before the Normal School Assembly. The officers of the Club are: I ' resiileiit Elizabeth Kuebler X ' icel ' resideiit Clara Sieving Secretary Ella Burgharilt Treasurer Elsa Harjes 120 Current Topics Club OFFICERS Mr. E. E. Hill Advisers Mr. G. H. Gaston First Semester Second Semester Rose Hill President Catherine Conner Mary Cullina Vice-President Mildred Schaefor Marion Daley Secretary Edith Mendelsohn Florence Heacock Treasurer Gladys Casscll The Current Topics Club commenced the first year ' of its second de- cade by revising its constitution. To former members Current Topics meant only the discussion of current event; to us it means in addition the discussion of the civil life about us together with whatever may throw light upon it. In pursuance of this end the present members take at least four trips a semester. These trips are not confined to one particular field, but are chosen to gain an insight into as many varieties of human life as possible. Among the many places visited, the Board of Trade, the Courts in the County Building, the Illinois Tunnel, the PostoflSce, Sears-Roebuck Co., and a Pumping Station, each had its lesson for us, all were oc- casions for a social time. No wonder our membership was twenty-five last semester, and that now forty-three answer to roll-call. No wonder the Current Topics Club is the largest free-for-all club in the school. The present members are reluctant to leave their Good Time Club as they term it, and hope to organize a similar one as Alumni, to continue the work. To those whom we leave behind and to the future members, we wish a prosperous and enjoyable future, but we do not expect them to surpass the good times had in the Current Topics Club of 1916. 121 ■IHMBI!

Many years ago a group of girls decided to try to interest the stu- dents of the College in picturetaking and gardening. The interest was soon aroused, and it was not long before the Camera and Garden Club was well under way. We do not boast of being the oldest club, or the club with the greatest membership, but we are proud to say that we are a club worth while. Early in the year, the camera with its many possibilities was ex- plained to us by Mr. Smith, in the most interesting manner. He brought out the importance of knowing how to use the camera carefully, and then by means of illustration exposed the secret of making lantern slides. Later in the year Mr. Shepherd gave a series of talks on Snap Shots. These we enjoyed to the fullest extent, since most of the mem- bers ' ambitions soar not much higher than this type of picture making. The club plans to have a field day each semester, thereby keeping up the Garden side of the Club. In October, 1915, we held the first field day at Riverside, a broad expanse of woods and countryside border- ing on the Des Plaines River, and a favorite haunt during spring and early fall. The second semester ' s field day was held at Hubbard Woods, a place which affords great interest to flowers lovers. This trip closed the year for the Camera and Garden Club. We hope that next year the club will reach greater heights, and perpetuate the work of former years. The Social Service Club Students at the Chicago Teachers ' College are beginning to realize that they can obtain as rich an experience from service given outside of school as from teaching itself. That explains the birth of the Social Service Club. It is astonishing how many opportunities are open to us. We have standing offers to assist in anything from clerical work to hous- ing investigations. At the County Hospital are hundreds of little chil- dren who would be better off if some one read them a story or sang them a song or taught them some of Miss Hutchison ' s arts of keeping busy though in bed. The United Charities can never have enough help. Even one spare afternoon can be of service. At the Jewish Aid Society, if you are fortunate enough to speak either Jewish or German, you can get a regular course in social service. (No, I am not subsidized by Mrs. Dillon.) The work our girls are doing is no less interesting than the work that is still to be done. At the Parker Grammar School backward pupils are being coached. At the Parker High School Miss Leinen is develop- ing Sara Bernhardts out of Junior and Senior girls. At the Jones School Miss Ryan and Miss Casey are making a group of mothers, German to Italian, believing that life is worth living and their neighbors worth know- ing. Miss Rio and Miss St. Lawrence are campaigning for the use of muffins among the twelve-year-old girl population. On two occasions the girls have convinced the boys of the Robin Hood Club that muffin making is an enviable art. If you want to know what rabbits and white mice are doing in the kindergarten, ask Miss Crowley. Or, better still, come in after school and watch the neighborhood little ones. Some day the Board of Education is going to give us credit toward graduation in return for the good time we are giving ourselves ; that is, if Mr. McManis has anything to say about it. ARTS 6-lt,, CRAFTS OFFICERS President Edna Crowlev VicePresident Hazel Ellis Treasurer Dorothy Fitzpatrick Rejiorter . . .Ruth I ' iotv Two o ' clock on Monday found a little troop hurrying to 301A, for the weekly meeting of the Arts and Crafts Club. At first the member- ship was restricted to twenty members, which diminished now and then according to individual interests in the different activities of the club. Figure drawing from models was the first work undertaken. Then, under the guidance of Mr. Eggers, jewelry designing was taken up, at which time our membership was largest. A visit to the clay modelling exhibit at the Art Institute, soon directed our attention to this field. We had become very interested in this, and fairly succe.ss- ful, when the Emblem budded. A demand for artists ! This climaxed a most interesting year for all the members of the Arts and Crafts Club. Many thanks, Mr. Eggers. Cui Bono Club HE rapid growth of Cui Bono and the increasing inter- est m.anifested in it is not remarkable, considering the splendid social relations which have existed in the club and the very interesting talks which we have had by various members of the faculty during the past year. Miss Vincent discussed the possibility of teaching animals to reason, and Mr. Ashley spoke on Heredity and Environment. Besides these talks such subjects as Dreams and Superstitions were discussed by the club as a whole, much to the interest, entertainment and instruction of all. Since we took up the Psychology of Advertising, many are undecided whether to persevere in their desire to teach or to become business women of phenomenal success by applying the knowledge of advertising gained in Cui Bono. Nor shall we soon forget the good times we have had at our social meetings ; how could they have been anything but delightful with our president. Miss Brown, assisted by Miss O ' Neill and Miss Brun, working so earnestly to make them what they were? Every outgoing member of the club leaves it with sincere regret, feel- ing that she has gained a great deal both socially and p.sychologically, and realizing that much thanks is due to our adviser, Mr. Ashley, and to our efficient president. Miss Brown. The other officers of the club are: Vice-President Mary Daly Secretary Mildred Schaef er Treasurer Louise Brun Reporter Edna Crowley Student ' s Council Student ' s Council ! Although you never heard of it at the Normal College before the fall of 1915, whether you wish to or not, you are going to hear a great deal about it in the future. All of our more agressive colleges, universities, and high schools, are as familiar with the term as you are with the words, plans and practice. It was undoubtedly on account of the very marked mfluence of this thing they call the Student ' s Council, or any other like organization, on the social life of these various institutions, that our worthy principal announced on the second day of the term beginning in September, 1915, that the Normal College was going to form such an organization. But those unacquainted with it will surely ask, What is this Stu- dent ' s Council that you claim is so all important? In a word, as stated in the constitution : Its purpose is to promote the general welfare of the school by establishing the closest possible relationship between the stu- dent body and the faculty, and to endeavor to make the Normal College a self-governing institution. Is not this motive truly a worthy one? The Council is an assembly of students presenting all the classes and all the departments. The officers at present are : Viola O ' Neill, pres- ident ; Frances Hessler, vice-president ; Margaret Leinen, secretary. Very vital subjects concerning every member of the Normal School have been discussed in the Council ; for example, the congestion of the lunch room, the management of the bulletin boards, and the conduct of the fire drills. It is to be hoped that as the Student Council grows in age, it will also increase in importance and stability, as a factor in Normal College life. 126 A.lvisers: Mrs. Lillian H.

The athletic activities which the association includes are basket ball, hockey, tennis, walking, dancing and swimming. Each of these clubs through its set of officers, holds its individual meetings and formulates its programs. The membership heartily co-operates and strives always to make the work stand for health, strength and good fellowship spirit. The association is given special recognition at the close of each sem- ester. In the final General Assembly loyalty and pride are manifested by the girls through rousing cheers and songs, as their individual sports- manship is given recognition. A member who has earned one hundred points in any of the clubs, receives a numeral representing the year in which she graduates. One who receives four hundred points, a number which is awarded to a girl who makes an all-star team, is entitled to an English N. The associ- ation pin is given to the winner of twelve hundred points, the next award. Ambition to accumulate points does not stop however, until graduation. At about this time the member who holds the greatest num- ber of points, finds her name engraved on the Roll of Honor. January 23rd was Athletic Day. On this day the following honors were conferred : Marie O ' Leary of the class of February, ' 16, received the highest number of points in her class and her name was therefore, placed on the gold plate made and designed by Esther Nelson, February, ' 16. Those who received pins were: Delia Rogers and Esther Nelson, Upper Seniors; Marion Daley, Ethel Gliffe, Teresa Thiele and Ruth Spitz, Lower Seniors. The highest number of points held in each class were: Marie O ' Leary 1660, Margaret Delaney, Lower Senior, 2225; Ethel Parker, Upper Junior, 560; Ruth Lippert, Lower Junior, 570. As a mark of appreciation for the splendid coaching and assistance given us by our advisers. Miss Gallagher was presented with an association pin and Miss Bruce with flowers, owing to the fact that she has won her pin in times past. The Association entertained about two hundred and fifty of its mem- bers at a party and dance at Ogden Park on March 7th. The Assembly program in June will bring to a close the season 1915-1916. The healthful activities which this organization affords, are open to the entire student body. It rounds out the life of each student by giving the opportunities of physical exercise a great part of the year out in the open, so much desired and appreciated after close application to general school work. The Association stands for co-operation with the teachers of the College in all of their efforts to make the Normal College girls one of the happiest, brightest and healthiest bodies of student teachers in this fair land of ours. TUNE— OFFICER OF THE DAY — MARCH Oh tell me, tell me truly, the best thing that is here.

The big game of the season was on! The Juniors were fighting the Seniors for that much coveted prize — the championship. Cheers could be heard at inter- vals — Now from one side and now from the other. Presently a final shout denoted the end of the game. The crowd dispersed and the chas- tened Juniors made their way to the gymnasium. Of course the Seniors had won, but the Juniors comforted themselves with the thought that next year they would claim the championship — Who does not profit by a year ' s experience? Never before was such enthusiasm shown as this year among the basket-ball people, There were over fifty new players from the Lower Junior Class, ten from the Upper Junior Class and twenty from the Senior Class, all of whom declare that it was a most successful season. Miss Shepherd, our coach, deserves endless praise for her untiring and splendid work. According to custom an all-star team was selected by the coach and the officers. The ones to receive the five hundred points which elec- tion to it means, were: Dellamere Rogers, jumping center; Marion Daly, side center; Margaret Galligan and Margorie Kimpton, forwards; Mar- garet Delaney and Esther Henderson, guards.

I guess Yes! Well does hockey deserve its popularity and success. The enthusi- asm on the part of both Juniors and Seniors at the opening of the autumn hockey season in September was proof enough of the popularity of the game. Both teams set to practice diligently. In a short time the Juniors put up so good a game that many of the practice matches with the Se- niors were very interesting. Then came the big fight for the inter-class championship. In the first championship game the Seniors made three goals, and the Juniors none. The score of the second game was 2-0, in favor of the Seniors. This victory made the Senior team the winner of the school championship. Don ' t .iudge from this that the Juniors are bad players, fo r they are not; not by any means. The Seniors ' longer e.xperience was against them. Even after our championship games were over, there proved to be other games in store for us. Our All-Star team played the Chicago School of Physical Education and Expression, on our field at Hamilton Park. The game was a whirlwind success — for our opponents. We had a game with our Alumnae team, too. The score was 0-0, but as neither team wanted to keep tied, we played ten minutes longer, and the Alumnae got two goals. We weren ' t a bit peeved about that though, for they entertained us so nicely afterwards at the Hamilton Park Field House, that we forgot our grievances. And then, the climax of the season — a hockey spread ; and, oh, such a wonderful spread as it was ! (Hockey spreads always are, by the way.) Seniors and Juniors, the victors and the vanquished, side by side en.ioyed every minute of it — good eats, and an all around good time.

You know it is the Senior Dancing Club that helps to keep us Seniors well and fit. Every Thursday afternoon at about two fifteen, about half a hundred of us assemble to dance under the leadership of Mrs. Pendleton. We are in it for the fun of it, and we certainly do enjoy our- selves. During the first semester our work on Wooden Shoes, a little Dutch folk dance helped us to appreciate Dutch folk dancing. Our imagina- tions, we think, did not have to work hard to make us see each other in the Hollander ' s quaint costume, so characteristic is the dance. We gave quite a bit of time, too, to Valse Caprice, a rather dainty dance. This first semester ' s work ended in a competition for honor points which took place in January. On N.C.A.A. day, a week later, the winners of points were announced. They were: 250 points — D. Irwin, D. Rogers, H. Gartrelle; 50 points— P. Bernstein, M. Daley, F. Eaton, E. Minnis, E. Mehaffy, I. Needham, E. Nelson, D. Schultz, E. Ternus. At the end of the second semester we had accomplished a good deal more. We had learned The Hussar, a military dance, full of spirit, which is a favorite with both spectator and performer; The Village Belle, a coquettish English dance, Newcastle, and We Won ' t Go Home ' Til Morning, both English country dances. At our second competition, in April, the following girls were successful: 250 points — H. Gartrelle, F. Silverburg, P. Bernstein; 50 points — M. Daley, M. Hayde, H. Hagen, E. Kaplan, M. Kimpton, A. Lynch, D. Schultz, E. Ternus. As a grand finale to the dancing season the Seniors and Juniors unit- ed in giving one of the largest spreads ever given at Normal. Eighty-five girls ate and cheered, and otherwise enjoyed themselves on that day. And with this final aflfair a successful year drew to a successful close. aUNIOR DANCING Last December the Junior Dancing Club met for the lirst time. Election of officers took place and the following girls were chosen: President, Flora Hummel; secretary, Henrietta Kunzler; reporter, Nellie Johnson. Promptly at 2:25 p. m., every Wednesday, Mrs. Pendleton and Miss Fisher appeared on the gymasium floor and we started in for a good half hour ' s work. During this part of the meeting we worked on technical combinations and on special dances, Benita Caprice and Copelia. We could not be sorry that the time flew so quickly when we started the Dutch Kiddies, the Boardwalk, Mage on a Crei, Iris or Picadilly, and then had to stop at 3:15 p. m. These lessons lasted until the middle of April and at the time the Senior Dancing Club and the Junior Dancing Club united, to give a party. Every Normal girl is just crazy about a party, for which there are plenty of good things to eat and plenty of dancing. Our party furnished these things, and, therefore, we all agreed that we had a perfectly won- derful time. This party embodied one of the many social aspects of our club. Our tryouts showed what the club had done along instructive lines. Three judges were appointed to chose the twelve best dancers. The first three, Fannie Silverburg, Florence Gannon and Alice Cunningham, were award- ed 250 N.C.A.A. points. Evelyn Kaplan, Floi-a Hummel, Helen George, Juliette Sonilett, Eleanor McDonnell, Mary McCauley, Charlotte Law- son, Elsie Heyworth and Etta Williams were each awarded 50 points. Thi s tryout occurred at the end of the first semester. With the com- ing of a new semester, it was found necessary to elect new officers, as some of them had left us, to join the Senior Dancing Club. Henrietta Kunzler was elected president, Veronica Miller, secretary, and Alice Witherell, reporter. It was at this time that Miss Isabel Irwin was appointed assistant coach of the club. We certainly appreciate what she has done for us, for she proved to be an excellent teacher as well as an excellent dancer. Of course the main success of the club is all due to the consistent work of Mrs. Pendleton. Her motto, Dance for the joy and pleasure of dancing, helped us greatly, and a hearty thank you is given to her by the members of the club for the able and successful organization she has made it. o°oTeNN1S CLUBo oCa f ' 1)1 ' - lUllllli.. iull l ' ' n IllUiin I .mill iiiilllll ' .i Illnilu OFFICERS t ' oai-h II. Delauey Presideut S. Shine Manager c:. St. Albin Reporter M . English The Tennis Club is one club of the N.C.A.A., in which the girls have a chance to become more acquainted with one another. In the tourna- ment for example, players are picked by lot, and many times the mem- bers meet other girls they would never have known, and in going back and forth to the tennis courts they get an opportunity to know each other better. So you see our Tennis Club gains for us not only health, strength and athletic reward, i. e. points — but new friends and companions, too. It also develops initiative on the part of the students, for the Tennis Club, unlike other clubs of the N.C.A.A., is not directly under the super- vision of an instructor as in dancing or hockey. The president with the help of the other officers arranges the tournament and all members play their games off when they choose. The tournament is conducted by the members alone. Last autumn one of our own members, Miss Margaret Delaney, coached the contestants. She gave special attention to those in the be- ginners ' tournament, laying particular stress on the proper use of the racket, the serve, the return, etc. Oh, that Delaney curve! As the re- sult of Margaret ' s training, players in the advanced tournament felt quite proficient in the art of serving as well as of returning. The tournament games were played at Hamilton Park. The rainy weather did not permit much practice, but nevertheless the fittest won out at the end of the matches.

Margaret McCahe lunior Captain Ruth Lippert Zillah Shepherd Senior Manager Marjorie Kiniptou Ruth Lii pert lunior Manager Kthel Parker Judging by the size of the membership, the swimming club is the most popular club in the N.C.A.A. Fifteen classes are held every week with fifteen members in each, and there still is a large waiting list. Miss Gallagher is responsible for the organization of the club, and it is through her untiring enthusiasm and excellent instruction that it has been kept flourishing. The club gives every girl a chance to show her ability, as the work is individual, and awards are not limited to a few on a picked team. Points are awarded to every girl who successfully passes a two-tank length test in any stroke, diving test, or one of several en- durance and carrying tests. The girls who pass the tests in the breast, back and side strokes com- pose the squads of the class. Those passing the front dive test in addition to the three strokes are members of the teams. Thus in one sense the teams are unlimited and each girl secures her points on passing the tests, regardless of whether or not she swims in the meets. At. the meet held on December twenty-third, there were events for both form and speed, thus giving every girl a chance to help her team win, through her good points, whatever they might be. The Juniors carried off the honors in the meet by a score of 6.3-40 thus securing the only Junior victory for the semester. This hurt the pride of the Seniors, and they expected revenge in the next meet to be held a week before the spring vacation. As a result of the tests and the meet, the following All-Star team was chosen : Marie O ' Leary, Esther Nelson, Ruth Spitz, Ruth Lippert, Zillah Shepherd and Marjorie Kimpton. In our Spring meet, the Upper Seniors competed against the rest of the school, because there were not enough Juniors prepared to make up a team. The Upper Seniors lost the meet with a score of 20-42, but there was good cheer through it all. .WALKING Faculty Adviser . . , First Seinestei Ethel Gliffe Helen Fiel.l Marion Daley Re[iorter.

Why are so many people standing in the front corridor? Upper Senior — Stupid! This is Walking Club Day. Lower Junior — Oh! what is Walking Club? What do you do? Can I join it? Upper Senior — In the first place the Association Walking Club is the largest club in the N.C.A.A., in fact, it is the largest club in the school. Two hundred comes no-where near expressing its entire mem- bership. When we walk — which is every other Tuesday, our line is, with- out exaggeration, four blocks long. What do we do? Ten times each semester we walk to some well- known place, such as Jackson Park, Sherman Park, or the 55th L Sta- tion. Speaking of Jackson Park reminds me of our beach party! You know we always welcome the September Girls with a beach party — usu- ally given at Jackson Park. We have a bonfire and roast weenies, buns and marshmallows. Last year we succeeded in getting two of our small male population to build the fire, but we were all so hungry when we arrived, that most of us ate our weenies raw. And when it came to roasting marshmallows, all that fire did was smoke, and so most of us ate our marshmallows untoasted. You ' ll get your chance at the Beach Party next fall and the next, and if you appreciate a good time — don ' t miss it! We are to welcome the February Juniors at a Dancing Party at Ogden Park. If you ' ve paid your N.C.A.A. dues, you ' d better grab your hat and come along. We ' ll have dancing, an entertainment and eats — I mean refreshments. Oh you haven ' t joined? Well, all you have to do is pay your dollar to the N.C.A.A., and then join the crowd. If you join the Hikers, you get fifty points for every five walks you take; that means one hundred points your first semester and one hundred points means your numeral ! Easy way to get it, isn ' t it? If you take every walk during the two years you will have your emblem when you graduate. What? You ' ve joined the N.C.A.A., and want to come along? Good! I ' ll wait for you while you get your hat and coat; but hurry; we ' re starting and I wouldn ' t miss it for anything. 138 The Weekly The idea of a school paper for the College originated with Dr. Owen six years ago, and at the present time the Normal School Press puts into circulation every Monday twelve hundred copies of ' The Chi- cago Normal School Weekly. ' The Weekly is first of all a paper devoted to school news. It is an enlarged bulletin of the week, giving principal importance to the dis- cussion of school matters. Moreover, it aims to be an organ which re- ports on educational questions of interest to Normal students. Ours is a large school, carried on in several localities ; it includes a wide range of interests. This year departmental writers were chosen to keep intact departmental news. It is generally conceded that our little school paper ' found itself in 1916, and much of the success it attained is due to the able assistance of Miss Fitzgerald, our Advisory Editor.

Hurlburt Mary MeCalley Catherine Conner 139 The Educational Bi-Monthly In our mad Normal College rush which Dr. Owen has likened to riding on an express train that does not stop from nine till two, we are led to neglect most things with which we are not brought into actual contact. That is the only reason why some of us may be unaware that our own Chicago Normal School Press is publishing a paper of wide educational import and influence. Of course we have all heard of the Bi-Monthly, and of course we all mean to look it through the moment we have time. But that moment is slow in arriving, and meanwhile we connect it vaguely with inexhaustible piles of pamphlets that our in- structors hand out from time to time. Our greatest concern with these pamphlets is to collect them ; it is seldom necessary to read them because any good bluff (as which of us is not?) can guess what they ' re about, from what the instructors tell us in class. It is perfectly natural that first-hand contact with the material, gained through hearing of it from those who have worked it out, makes any printed account lose interest by contrast ; hence our rather slight- ing treatment of the pamphlets. Those less fortunate than we, however, who cannot meet our instructors in the classroom, find the Bi-Monthly of inestimable value. Luckily for us, when we, too, are no longer in daily classroom contact with the work of the college, we shall still have, through the Bi-Monthly, an opportunity to keep in touch with it. The magazine which in the words of Dr. Owen, its editor, aims to pro- vide educational suggestion to the city teachers is distributed free to all of them. The Bi-Monthly was founded in 1906 with the avowed purpose of furnishing an organ for educational material, expressive of the work done in the college. The magazine is made possible through an appropri- ation from the Board of Education, which covers the cost of paper and the manual labor of printing. All the work of writing and editing the paper is done without remuneration, the contributors considering them- selves sufliciently repaid by the fact that they have furthered the cause of education through their work. Since its foundation, the Bi-Monthly has been the means of stim- ulating the publication of much valuable educational material, as its files will quickly testify. And it is indubitably true, that much of this material would never have appeared were it not for the stimulation af- forded by the Bi-Monthly. One of the things which adds greatly to the value of the publication, is that it aims not only to discover and give expression to material which might otherwise be neglected, but also to secure accounts of work actually done in concrete experiment, rather than those resting only on a theoretical basis. This last fact is the cor- ner-stone of its success. Dorothy JFcU. NORMAL LIGHTS , 1 jL J Ki The Girl in the Mirror A Series of Reflections Two years is not a long time to spend in any school. It is, in fact, a very short time. But it is enoug h to throw some light on the girl in the mirror, and bring her with more or less vividness into our view. She came from high school, with the honors of her seniority fresh upon her. She was probably an officer in her class and impressed you with the fact. She was charming, friendly, democratic, and had much to say, either in class or without, according to her temperament. The newness of things never daunted her; in fact, she grasped at novelty. But her point of view was essentially school-girl ; so the new environment came to be a test of adaptability. She found herself in that curious position of being on the fence. Probably the fence has no valid reason for existence. I shall not attempt to discuss it. I know it exists, and as a fact, I accept it. The Girl found that her school-girl morals justified many things (to her own satisfaction) that, as a teacher, she must frown upon, and she was puz- zled as to whether it must be from policy or more admirable motives. This may sound strange, but it is absolutely true. The transition was not easy; and perhaps it colored (or bleached?) her personality in some measure. The Girl in the Mirror found her new experience delightful in many ways. There was opportunity for social expression and a jolly good time in any of the numerous clubs that opened their doors to her. If her bent was literary there was the Literary Society. If she had a lean- ing towards civics or philanthropy, there were the Current Topics and Social Service Clubs. Or if her ability were histrionic, there was the Dramatic Club. The supply of clubs amply fulfilled the demand. Some- times, too, she loved to ramble through the library, spending precious hours which ought to have been spent on psychology and history and edu- cation, in reading what the magazine writei ' s had to say about hand- some heroes and heroines, or what the most popular imagist had written in the latest magazine. Sometimes under the impetus of an interesting chapter of psychology, she took to watching the wheels of her own mind go round. Altogether it was an exceedingly interesting experience. But if we were to look into the mind of the Girl in the Mirror, who is a laughing, happy girl, we should find, I think, a little regret, that the experience is ended, almost before it begins. Marion N. Funk. A Dangerous Expedition I. Troops formed under command ol ' General McRIanis. Divisions put in order for march to the front. II. Forced march to enemy ' s quarters, where troops were brought up for an attack on Colonel Morrow ' s humidistat. Humidistat despoiled and army emerged victorious. Preparations made for other attacks. III. (a) Advance guard led the Company farther into the interior where dangers lurked on every side. The ranks were re-enforced by the engineer, which fact increased the outrage of the army. However, the situation looked so perilous that sevei ' al privates would have deserted had they not been afraid of being court-martialed by the General. (b) Spies were noticed all along the road craftily watching the movements of the dauntless ones. Members of the Third Regiment were nearly drawn into ambush, but because their signals failed to be re- turned, they kept on with the rest of the troops. IV. Next move — into the wilds of Siberia, where several soldiers were almost frozen to death. No enemy in sight, so troops departed for more lively regions. V. Fourth move — to warmer climate. The enemy had seen the terrifying advance and were beating a hasty retreat, when the advance force came upon them. By this time the army was clamoring for excite- ment; so the General gathered his thoughts, called the army to order, and led the way up a steep and rocky incline, after cautioning the soldiers to beware of the hidden dangers, and not to mind the cyclonic storms which prevail in that region. VI. Extensive rejoicing when everyone reached the top alive. The climate was so warm that it seriously interferred with the breathing of the same warriors who had almost frozen to death during the previous campaign, and thus came near bringing their young and promising lives to a tragic end ; but with Spartan fortitude, they controlled their an- guish, so as not to injure the sympathetic feelings of the other soldiers. VII. (a) Since the enemy was forging ahead, several miles away, there was careful examination of the locality. The General, with a powerful searchlight, explored every trench, and was closely followed by the troops because they were afraid of the dark ; also, because the space did not permit them to ramble very far from the main lines. (b) A hurried consultation between the General and several pri- vates followed, and the result was that the army took possession of this region in the name of Ventilation. (c) The army then placidly took its way back to more comfortable quarters, and, although the return march was beset with horrible pit- falls, yet the courage shown was wonderful to behold. (d) One private, with usual Sir W. Raleigh behavior, ran to the assistance of Beauty in distress, as she was descending from the newly conquered territory. Result — Across of the Legion of Honor conferred (on the rescuer). VIII. (a) Mutiny arose. Some sighed because there were no more worlds to conquer, but upon the appearance of the General, all mutiny was quelled. Ranks were hastily resumed, and the troops marched back from the front, leaving a scene of ruin and desolation behind. (b) At the border, there was a slight skirmish between the rear flank and a squad of the enemy, but when our soldiers drew up in line of battle, the enemy was stricken with terror, and fled to the nearest re- treat. There was no time for the invincible ones to give chase. (c) Return march was continued until the troops reached head- quarters, where the General called the I ' oll. Every one answered, so there were no dead nor wounded, thus bringing to a glorious close one of the most daring campaigns in history. Mtirif Toh ' ni. The Hyphenated Normalite You know what the Hyphenated American is, and hence you ' ll easily guess at the Hyphenated Normalite, — why, the members of the university group, of course. The hyphenated person is a sort of hybrid. He belongs not where he is, because neither he nor the region he contaminates by his presence is quite satisfied with his location. (And yet, if the truth be told, for- sooth, neither does he belong anywhere else!) He raises loud and plain- tive or even vituperative wails to heaven in his dissatisfaction with the place of his adoption, utterly oblivious, of course, to the fact that he did of his own free will adopt it. (The state of mind is very similar to that of many married persons, although, of course, worse luck, no one is married to Normal and one certainly ought to be able to endure even the plague, if he knows it will last only a year.) The wails of our Hyphenates are manifold. Of course it ' s conven- tionally the thing for anyone who has had the elevating and broaden- ing experience of four years at a university to show that he has acquired culture by announcing the acquisition in stentorian tones. One might think he didn ' t know anything better than Normal, if he didn ' t hasten to tell people how absolutely nil it looks after his — ah — you understand! Another important grievance is in regard to attendance. Actually, we are compelled to be on time to classes! Classes begin on time, except Mr. Owens ' , and if one is late she must coax a tardy slip from Mrs. Hardinge. Moreover, we are obliged to account for absences ! It comes hard for those acclimatized by four years of emancipation as really adult human beings, who are quite competent to decide when they choose to stroll into classes, and perfectly entitled to six or seven cuts with no questions asked ! The university scorns so to make freemen account for themselves. Just imagine the embarrassment of explaining to the university powers, how you became so absorbed in Cooly ' s Social Aspects of Education that all thoughts of time and tide slipped from your mind! The University Girls have the reputation of knowing everything. Well and good ! But think of trying to make them live up to it in classes ! Yes ! sooner or later the Hyphenates begin to wail about work. Their course is a condensed one, given in three-week-boiled-down doses. The three weeks spent with Mrs. Cook were by far the most strenuous, and will be long remembered. The journey into darkest Africa was a real strain upon our gray matter and nerve cells. Had it not been for the rest cures occurring now and then, between geography and Mr. Hosic ' s ravings against the typical college girls, we never could have lasted out the year. As it was, five of our members fell by the wayside, and we are convinced, that it was from overwork. We might, after the true fashion of Hyphenates, continue to multiply our woes. But, we shall, in this case, mercifully wail one more wail and cease. This Hyphenate-wail, by far the bitterest, is the last; if the Hyphenate belongs to things ' tis said he tries to run them. If he refuses to belong, why he ' s stuck up. And so, in accordance with our horrible reputation we have several recommendations to make, whereby the Normal College may be made a happier and an easier place for us unprivileged ones. First, we suggest that the University girls be given a private lunch-room, a place where they can enjoy peace and quiet. Or it might be arranged to let this august body eat before the others, with the faculty perhaps. In this way they would be saved all the strain which one is so apt to encounter in the congested district around the creamed-beef, creamed-eggs and stew, not to mention hash. This con- fusion is stimulating to the young, but not for those along in years. Another innovation which would be a benefit to all would be to allow the members of the University group to talk all they wish, during assembly, and also, to request them to bring their crocheting. Who would not wish to hear the words of wisdom which might at any moment fall from their inspired lips? And, who knows at what moment some great thought might be lost to the world, just for lack of expression? If there is one place more than another where the Hyphenated Nor- malite must step aside and make way for her younger sisters, it is in oral expression. Miss Freeman is very patient, but, and we blush to admit it, she needs must call on one of her own girls for the correct pronoun- ciation of the short o. Second only to our failures here, is our igno- rance in i-egard to the Palmer method, or any method, for that matter. By their handwriting shall ye know them. I.ordinc Pazcers. New Facts Revealed By History Tests Louis XV was gelatined during the French Revolution. Puritans were people who discarded their hats and any convention- alities which happened to hamper the free expression of their tem- peraments. King Richard was so ugly that no one loved him, so being cynical and killing people were his only relaxation. These marvelous answers are entirely original, and have not yet ap- peared in any history with which the history classes are familiar. A moment ' s reflection, now and then. Is helpful to the most of men. When we sit for a few moments in reflection over the Assembly programs of the past term, the variety of interests which they have represented strikes us with full force. The breadth of view which our year ' s Assembly experience has given us is so worth while, when you consider it, that we cannot do less than wish that the programs for next year will be as representative of our needs and our interests. The organizations of the College which were responsible for Assem- bly days this year have almost without exception presented something worth while. Of those that used their own talent, several will be long remembered. Perhaps tjfie most beautiful of all was The Topaz Amulet. given by the Upper Junior class of Christmas, 1915. No pro- gram had a better, more electric influence on the entire student body. The Musicales were both so full of really good music that we will carry their memory with us. No one ' s birthday has been forgotten who was fortunate enough to have one near an Assembly day. Tributes to these fortunate ones have been paid in dance, song, story, and address ; and all were most sincerely given. Questions and problems whictl the world outside of the College is trying to solve have been brought to us, — questions of both social and educational importance. The single tax movement, both here and in England set us to thinking how such a change will better or harm our fellowmen. Just how much do you owe to the Assemblies of 1915-1916 for your growth? This one small item in the Annual is only a reminder that, when we consider how valuable our programs are and how easily they come to us, we find we have fallen short in our appreciation of the education we get in this way ; and we have taken many months to realize what Assembly has done for us. Elma E. Bnnqhton. An April Farce Rabington blew into town with an April rain. When the rain lifted he was gone — lollowing the winds, people say. S ville saw him not longer than six hours, and in the darl . Yet to this day it bears the mark of his coming and the memory of his going. As he came down from the terminal station at the end of Brewster Place, the long brown streets were glimmering clean and wet through the dark, and the clustered roofs looked sleek and presentable, like small boys who have washed their faces and brushed their hair with wet brushes. It was not yet twelve o ' clock, but the town was almost totally dark. Indeed, save for two or three oblongs of translucent oi-ange that marked distant windows it boasted only one light, a single street lamp before the door of one M. Toni, barber. Its four panes, beaded with fine drops, shed shifting patches of dark gold upon the broken pavement — and at times with the darting of a vagarious wind sent a flicker into the shop to light a solitary and ghostly chair. Just why M. Toni should have been distinguished in this way is quite inexplicable. Perhaps it was accident. M. Toni says it was Fate. Babington made straight for the light, limping a little as he came within the circle of it, and shifting a small suit-case into his free hand. He was an incongruous, almost a forlorn figure with his light correct overcoat rainsoaked, a disreputable hat crushed over his eyes, and all that was visible of his face covered with a week ' s growth of black beard. But his lips were cast in a cheerful, if irresolute line. He hesitated until a puff of wind sent a fresh torrent down his collar; then he stepped to M. Toni ' s doorway and beat upon the rainsplashed glass with both fists. After an interval the barber ' s door was opened and his red disheveled head was thrust cautiously out. What you want? he demanded sleepily. Babington wasted no time in reply. He stepped quickly into the shop, thrusting the half torpid barber aside. The door closed behind them with a click at once definite and final, an auditory silhouette against a background of silence. Afterwards M. Toni said that it seemed full of portent. Make a light, will you? asked Babington in a dramatic whisper. With fear and profanity in his mind Toni obeyed. There was a spurt of flame, a sulphurous smell and the stranger was revealed, removing his coat and hat, tossing them into the astonished arms of Toni. He looked taller without them, and wild and strong, like a picture Toni had once seen of the Norse god Thor, wielding his hammer. Instead of a hammer Babington wielded a small suitcase and smiled so mysteriously from under his dark mustache that Toni, uncomfortable from lack of anything to say, was moved to ask, Is it that M ' sieu would be shaved? Babington laughed and stroked his chin. I guess not, he answered. I need it in my business. Whereupon Toni wondered what his business was, but did not venture to ask. I suppose it seems strange to you, he continued, his voice a deep rumble, that I should come into this quiet town, at the dead of night, and rouse you from peaceful slumber, et cetera? Toni nodded a dazed and noncommittal nod. The fact is — letting his voice down to an im- pressive whisper, I have come to do you a tremendous service — to render the town a tremendous service — but unfortuantely, I am in a desperate hurry. 147- Some one chase you? asked Toni with a gleam of intelligence. Babington looked grieved and offended. No, he replied with a martyr-like inflection. I am here in the cause of humanity. 0, said Toni, still doubtful, you save soul, maybe? Better than that, my friend. I can give you the stuff of which human happiness is made. I can make you respected and beloved and successful and sought after. I can make you wealthy if it is wealth you desire, and young if it is youth you desire. I can realize your dreams and dream wilder ones for you. In short — there is nothing I cannot do — wtih your proper co-operation! I think you crazy, said Toni contemptuously. Doubtless, answered Babington blandly. All idealism if carried far enough becomes a mania. Now with me it is a mania to serve. I look over the map. I see S ville, far, unknown, unrenowned, but with gi-eat riches hidden within its bounds. I have six hours, six little hours of night to spare, and behold I come! I am here to reveal the great secret, if alas, there are any to hear. Toni was somewhat impressed, but his next remark was cautiously testing. A ' right. I wish much wealth. How I get him? Very well. I shall tell you. But first, don ' t you think it ' s rather selfish to want the secret all to yourself? If everyone have wealth what is the use? asked Toni. Babington laughed at his shrewdness, but was immediately serious. Well, he said, here is the case. I have a few hours to stay. I have an important message for the people of S ville. Now the point is, how am I going to talk to them at this hour? As he finished he jerked open the suitcase and exposed the contents to the barber ' s gaze. Toni ' s eyes bulged. There in alluring disorder lay heap s of crumpled bills and coins that ranged from red copper to pale gold. It was weird. It was ghoulish: an April night — the rhythmical splashing of rain — a stranger forcing his way into the shop, the promise of a wild secret — and now the supreme and overwhelming argument — Toni surrendered. Is there a general meeting place in this burg? Babington was ask- ing brusquely. Town Hall, gasped Toni. Well, said Babington slowly, I ' m going to ask you to do a tremen- dous thing — but it ' s worth your while. Go, rouse the town on any pretext you can think of and assemble them in the town hall. See that you get me an audience of decent size. I don ' t care how you do it, but do it ! I ' ll be there in half an hour. It is a matter of history that Toni did it. And he did it by a method not only expedient but ingenious, a fire alarm that brought most of the population scurrying through the April mist. How he assembled them in the hall is not easy to explain. Some of them thought he was mad. All of them were wildly excited and easily led. However he succeeded, a noisy, gesticulating wide-awake mob was seated when Babington ar- rived. A few noted that the hall bore a strange and unfamiliar aspect, due undoubtedly to the fact that a large white curtain had been spread across the front wall. It loomed large and pale in the dark. Toni, on the dias looked vainly about for Babington, but that gentle- man kept to the rear, out of sight. Just as he was considering the ad- visability of making a few explanations, a shaft of light shot from the back of the hall near the ceiling. It focused upon the curtain on the front wall and immediately a jumble of letters danced into view and began to shape themselves into words. Like a flash it burst upon Toni ' s trusting sight. The monstrous, unbelievable audacity of the thing! For the letters at length resolved themselves into the following legend: BUY BABINGTON ' S BRAIN BUILDER WARRANTED SUCCESSFUL $1 A LARGE BOTTLE. Toni gave the alarm and the storm broke. Babington considered discretion the better part of valor and fled ingloriously. He would have sought the shop of M. Toni with all willing- ness but the crowd was hot on his heels. He caught a glimpse of the moon through a rift in the clouds as he ran and it seemed to wheel along in sympathy at his own pace. Good-night, old fellow! he called. Are they chasing you too? Humbug! Marion .V. Funk. Tears Dame Nature ' s pearls, we know not what they mean. They well from out the depths of wild despair.

M. The McCarthy Clan Eight McCarthys all together Make a brilliant light and rare. As you scan the Normal roll-call You will find each one is there. First upon the list comes Anna Then comes Charlotte, following ne Next is Ellen, Frances, Helen, Side by side they all appear. Then comes our Marie Cecilia, Next is Marie Rose, you will see. Last of all the eight is Margaret Quite a long list you ' ll agree. When you think of the McCarthys You must not forget that we Have adopted in this class of ours Two of the Faculty. Our Miss Cabell and Miss Walker Just above us smiling stand. Though their names are not McCarthy There ' s none better in the land. A Fish In Molasses A German in the House of Lords, Hinky Dink at the Ethical Culture So- ciety, or Villa at the Little Theater Amount to the Same Thing as — A Man at Normal. Whenever my friends ask me what I ' m doing now I try to hedge by saying, I ' m at a professional school for — ah — teachers. And if I ' m pressed into saying, I ' m at Normal, I see that sympathetic, maddening, I understand-but-it ' s-too-bad smile which begins in a twitch and ends in a chuckle. However, I ' m following the universal law of getting used to anything — even Normal. Now, of course, I ' m not meaning to say that the fault rests with Normal, but merely that a man feels somewhat out of place among five hundred or six hundred girls. I and one or two other Ishmaelites float along feeling like a single penny among a thou- sand gold dollars. But according to the natural law of survival depending upon adapta- tion, I have tried to adjust myself. Now I say with the utmost non- chalance, I and some other girls. So universal is my state of mind in these parts that Mr. Owen himself in speaking to the school says only, Young Ladies. Not long since when a speaker began, Ladies and Gentlemen, I found myself looking around for the Gentlemen. And yet one cannot really take advantage of the fact that he is a young lady. I afiiliate with no club for I should feel as much in evidence among a bevy of club girls as a pair of tan button shoes at a university formal — and what could a man do, for instance, in a Girls ' Glee Club, an Esthetic Dancing Club, or a Swimming Club? Women ' s rights and powers among men are as broad as the Magna Charta compared to man ' s rights among women. In a book-binding class the man must always wait three days for the paper cutter; and no young lady has any hesitation about asking you to saw her wood or spade her garden. Ladies first, you know. I doubt if ever my remains could be found should a fire occur, unless I forgot my manners. The first week in school I spent twenty-five cents and one hour every day rubbing my sore back, — I must have picked up 30,000 things that week. But I soon adopted myself and now I can see a girl fall down three flights of stairs and carpet them with hairpins, handkerchiefs, books and hair without moving a muscle to help her recover and without experiencing one single twinge of conscience. I have never dared go to a social hour for dancing. I have too sensitive a soul to see perfectly lovely (a phrase showing quality of the submerged five-hundi ' edths) dancers wasting themselves on the desert air. And until there is a four-and-one dance invented I couldn ' t think of disappointing all the girls I should disappoint should I dance with one at a time. I must acknowledge, however, that the year has taught me much. I know what tatting, and running stitch (or something like that) is; and I know how many kinds of — ah — face dust are used, and why, and I ' m growing my hair long for ribbons ; I say Thank you and Please ; I own a sport shirt, and I am seriousy contemplating a wrist watch. I think I shall have to go to Bachelor ' s Island this summer to recuperate. R. H. K. JF. Skijkoring On the Bluff Road Oh, mother, do you know whei-e my fur gloves are? Fred has Whitefoot for the afternoon, and we are going skijkoring on the road. Won ' t we have a glorious time? I found my fur gloves, and started for my room to put on all the warm clothes I could find. If I get all these things on I won ' t hurt myself if I fall, I said aloud, as I threw two heavy skirts, two pair of stockings, heavy boots, jersey sweater, Norwegian cap, and gauntlets on the bed. In an hour I was all ready, my skis on the porch, waiting for three o ' clock to come. Here he comes, mother, I called, as I heard a loud whistle in the front yard. Good-bye; yes, I ' ll be careful — home about seven o ' clock. Fred ' s ponies. Comet and Whitefoot, were both stamping the snow im- patiently as we went to them. The cream-colored harness sparkled in the sunshine and the ponies ' coats shone like satin as the animals danced about in the freshly fallen snow. It certainly is a glorious day for skiing, but we ' ll have to work hard to keep warm, I remarked, as we gathered the reins. The thermometer only registered ten below zero, but a stiff wind was blowing. Let ' s take it slow until we get to the Bluff Road and then let the ponies go, called Fred, as we started off. All right ; and so we started for the beautiful Bluff Road that winds for miles and miles among the snowy bluffs and there makes a steep ascent to Cabin Bluff. On the top of this bluff stands a great log cabin where the sportsmen warm themselves after coasting and skiing on the bluffs for hours. From the porch of the cabin the entire city can be seen, besides the silvery Mississippi winding slowly along the foot of the bluffs on the Minnesota side. Ah, there ' s the Road ! Goodness ! Whitefoot pulls so I can hardly keep my balance, I cried as the pony galloped ahead. He well knew that W ' hen he got on the Bluff Road he would be allowed to run as swiftly as he liked. Let her go! cried Fred, as Comet dashed after Whitefoot, now several yards ahead. Beat him, Whitefoot! I begged, and then the snow began to whiz around and around us like a blizzard, as the ponies flew down the road. How we went over that white road ! It took all our strength to keep the ponies a good distance apart, so that our skis would not clash and turn our sport into disaster. On we flew, in and out the white bluffs. It seemed as if Whitefoot woud never tire or stop to rest. As we were half way up the ascent to Cabin Bluff, I turned my head for a minute to watch the girls and boys in brightly colored sweaters and caps toboggan- ing and skiing on the bluff below us. Three quarters up! called Fred, now some distance in the rear. Comet ' s not pulling now so let ' s rein in and take the rest slowly. Yes, let ' s go slow the rest of the way so we can see the coasters, I said. The ponies were glad to go slower as the ascent had been steep and the wind grew stronger the higher we came. Cottontails scampered across the path, now and then, quick as a flash, only to disappear imme- diately in the snow-laden bushes. Oh, I hope there are some coasters at the Inn, I said, as a bright red sleigh with fur robes and bells passed us on its downward journey. There usually are, aren ' t there? Fred laughed back. We always manage to meet some one we know. Remember the ' dance ' last winter? Well, rather, and we both nearly lost our balance laughing over that memorable day when the whole crowd of girls and boys decided to have a dance after skiing up to the cabin. And how we girls had taken off the extra skirts, sweaters and jerseys! Wasn ' t it a wonder we didn ' t ruin that floor with our big, heavy shoes, though? There ' s Bob and Ellen! I suddenly exclaimed as we drew up at the entrance to the Inn. Hi there. Bob, called Fred, and after a joyous greeting we four went into the famous sportsmen ' s cabin. High back settees were ar- ranged before the enormous hearth fires, and it was to one of these places we turned after removing our numerous wraps. We were soon eating a hot lunch in front of the roaring blaze amid music of jingling bells out- side and happy laughter inside. At five-thirty Fred returned to us after tending to the skis and the sleigh in which we were to return home. The cabin folk rented sleighs to the sportsmen to I ' eturn home in ; so one never needed to worry about going home, after visiting the cabin. Soon we four were jingling along in a bright red sleigh with fur robes and silver bells, over a snow white way that led down the bluff to our homes not far away. Amy Jriicaton. Manitowish Four hundred miles north of Chicago in the Great North Woods of Wisconsin lies the land of the Manitowish, the land of the many big fish. Here are large lakes bordered by virgin forests of birch and pine, and narrow Indian trails worn by hundreds of moccasined feet. This is God ' s own country, as yet almost untouched by man. The Chippewa Indians have a reservation in these north woods but they have not always been confined to such a small area. Many years ago the Chippewas had for their hunting grounds all of North and South Dakota, Minnesota and northern Wisconsin but they were ever on the warpath, fighting their enemies, the powerful Sioux. The Sioux far outnumbered them, however, and slowly drove them out of the Dakotas into Minnesota and then into Wisconsin around Lake Superior and the chain of smaller lakes that empty into it. Here the few remaining Chippewas lived in peace for awhile and had their main lodge on the border of one of the lakes. One day Chief Manitowish, calling his people together, said : I feel that I am about to die, but have no fear, for I shall watch over my tribe. Place my body on that small island yonder; set twelve young men to guard it night and day and when danger threatens my people I will protect them. They did as he requested and twelve youths, sons of chiefs, watched the island. Now the Sioux were not content to let the Chippewas rest in peace, but followed them even into Wisconsin and one dark night they crept up silently and surrounded the unsuspecting camp. Then the Chippewas saw a mist rising from the island, and as they gazed, awed by the sight, it slowly took the form of old Chief Manitowish in all his war regalia. Majestically he descended and pointed out to them the hiding Sioux. 153 The Chippewas gathered their men together and attacked the Sioux and they fought all the eight miles from the camp to the little red bridge, and the way was lined with fallen Sioux. When the sun went down not one Sioux of all the band that had come into Wisconsin was left, but the Chippewas had not lost one brave. They returned to their camp with rejoicing and they called the land about those waters Manitowish, which means Spirit of the Waters. Hazel . inland.

ATMOSPHERE ' Ta-te Ta-te, the wind, ran softly along on her way to ceremonial meeting. All the October night lay dreaming in the blue light of the great full moon. With a start backwards, the Carnp Fire girl checked her moccasined journey, drawing into the shadows. She had almost run into a group of gay young people standing around a shiny new Franklin Six. So you go to Normal now with Margaret Ferris! was what she had heard. The young gentleman ' s intonation of her name viled her. Now, she awaited anxiously Janis Reed ' s reply. The two girls had not been friends at High School, where they belonged to widely separated groups, but during the long trip to Englewood, a passing acquaintance had sprung up between common little Margaret Ferris and Janis one of Hilton ' s young society buds. Margaret ' s worst fears were realized, however! With a derisive laugh Janis disowned her. Just then a missing friend arrived and the party sped on its way. The next morning and the next Margaret avoided Janis, and finally she grew into the habit of riding alone. The school year sped on as school years have a way of doing ; Christ- mas, New Year ' s, the end of the first semester, a change of course and then bibliographies. What with the few clubs Margaret allowed herself in connection with her school work and camp fire, Janis Reed was soon forgotten. Yet it was with Janis Reed that the most lasting friendship of Margaret Ferris ' life was formed. With camera and bird book Margaret had started out into the coun- try one June afternoon. The June sun was warm and the day was won- drously fair, so she settled down beside what was the remains of one of Farmer Schimmelfenning ' s haystacks and gave herself over to the en- joyment of the early summer beauty. Just how long she sat there she could not tell, but she was awakened from her reverie by the sound of a crash and a moan, followed by the ex- cited screams of a lot of helpless women. Starting around a corner of the haystack she saw Jennie Reed lying beneath a perfect bower of apple blossoms, her face twisted with pain. Around her stood her friends per- fectly helpless in a sudden emergency. Even Mrs. Twombly-Smythe was wringing her lily-white hands and forgetting her Boston accent. Only Jennie ' s little sister seemed cool enough to do anything, and she was tug- ging at the heavy bough that lay over her sister ' s arm. Quick as a flash that portion of the camp law, Give Service, flashed across Ta-te ' s mind, and she set about to attend to the wounded arm, broken and badly crushed. With heart beating almost to suffocation and head dizzy she felt the broken arm. She must set it. It was five miles to a physician ' s and the injured girl ' s scatter-brained and frantic asso- ciates would never let her alone until aid could be brought. She took the arm firmly in both hands and set it to the best of her ability following the instructions given her camp by the village physician Dr. Graham. Madam Twombly-Smythe started toward her like an angry mother hen, but with a fierce feeling of joy Margaret settled to her task. Jennie ' s 156 little sister brought her some improvised splints from ;i newly built fence nearby, and with strips of her petticoat she began to bind. The deep and ugly scratches she had tied round with strips of petticoat tight with pencils. These she had ordered the fashionable young society maid at her left to hold. Now she began to put on the final bandage. Loosely at the wrist and then from the tips of her fingers she rolled. The arm w-as spouting arterial as well as veinous blood and she was at a loss to know just what to do. However, gangrene must not set in, so she must equalize the pressure. Equalize the pressure. It sounded so compe- tent. She told it to Jennie, to Mrs. Smythe, to everybody. She turned the bandage neatly, layer on layer, along Jennie ' s arm. The layers of bandage seemed to reassure everybody, even Jennie. Half way to town a neighboring doctor ' s automobile overtook the little party with its half-fainting charge. When the physician looked over the arm he turned to Margaret. Medical Student? With a tired face but happy eyes, Ta-te smiled back, No, Camp Fire Girl. Ruth Hazeii. Who Says This? Six days overdue. Didn ' t you get a notice? May I offer a suggestion? Don ' t be a school-marm! Absolu tely not! Let ' s not have any voices, please. The point I ' m trying to make is this. Listen, girls ! Now let me give you a tip. My dear, you are but a young writer, yet. May I interrupt you for a moment? Any questions? That ' s beautiful work. Hold on, there! We want our class rooms to be like studios. And so forth and so on, and so on and so forth. Take the case of the small boy with a bright ball, or apple, or what not. You ' re not afraid of them, are you? It ' s not printing, it ' s lettering! There are two ways of holding a crochet needle : the way I hold it, and the way the people who don ' t know how, hold it. Is it not so? Is the story ethically sound? 9tf9i f t f 9 1 ' The Emblem ' is the annual publication of the Chicago Normal School, edited by representatives from the four classes and the faculty.

A BRIGHT CHILD ' p ' HERE were visitors at school one morning, and the inexperienced A teacher in charge wanted to display her pupils to the best advantage. Now, children, quoth the teacher during the geography lesson, what is the axis of the earth? Deep thought momentarily, and then a tiny girl raised her hand. Well, Jane. said the teacher, how would you describe it? Jane stretched herself to her full length and said proudly: The axis of the earth is an imaginary line which passes from pole to pole, on which tlie earth revolves. We ' ll accept that, nodded the teacher, well satisfied. Xow, Jane, I want to know if you could hang clothes on this line. Yes, ma ' am. was the ready reply. What, Jane? sliouted tlie disgusted teacher. Wliat kind of clollies? Imaginary clothes, ma ' am. answered the composed child. ESTABLISHED IN 188J A.
