FOREWORD 111 this Eml)k ' m which t ' uiliodies the reflection of all the activities of the past year at Chicago Normal College, may you ever find memories which will give cheer and gladness throughout future years. May it bring to you a sense of personal pride that you were one of this vast throng of knowledge seeking humanity and that these ac- tivities herein mentioned were the ones in which you took part and those who were so prominent iii-ouiul the college were either you or your friends. In compiling these pages consideration has been given to you, to your likes and tlislikes, to what is most pleasing and attractive, and to those things which will be of interest to you in the future as well as the present. There is a picture of the steps up which you have often run in an effort to beat the tardy bell, the bridge over which you have passed many times to and fro between the college and the Arts building or where you whiled away that part of the lunch period which you were able to snatch. In the shadow of this arch many tete-tetes will be remembered and even as I write 1 see the smile come to your face for you have remembered, too. ft is then the years slip away and you go on through the pages with the memories of yesterday — an almost present reality. There is the playground with our boys and girls at play. It was made during our first year and carries with it visions of tournaments won during the last semester. You picture Dr. Owen as he passes down the corridors spotting every bit of paper and in his democratic way aiding the stu- dent body keep the school clean and his ever smiling face which held a pleasant greeting for everyone. The characteristics of each teacher passes along your mental corridors. There are outstanding instances connected with each one. ' Mr. Ashley is asking about circles; Mr. Sherff refers to bark by A dog would know that ' ' ; Miss Freeman insists on Italian a; Miss Olson is busily engaged signing M. 0. to various bulletin board announcements and on through the list. What recollections pictures bring ! And the desire of this staff is that you may fully appreciate the signiflcance of all that is contained herein and may your moments in its perusal be filled with laughter and pleasure. — The Editor.

that remains of the old County Building is the weather-worn corner stone, inscribed with the date 1869 and the names of some of those instru- mental in the erection of the building. Dr. William Bishop Owen was appointed prin- cipal of the college in 1909, and it was uuder his competent direction that the school did much of its expanding. The three practice schools. Parker, Haines and Carter, whicli had been in vogue since 1902, were discontinued in 1920. They were succeeded by fifty co-operating scliools, spread well over the citA-, to which .students were assigned for a ten-week practice period. The Arts and Gymnasium building, with its wonderful shops, its gymnasium and its swimming pool, was opened in 1915. It was at this time that the physical health of the College became a genu- ine factor. Late in 1924 there was a general revision of the camjius in line with establishing tenuis courts and athetic fields for the schools lodged in the buildings of the college. A greenhouse containing three classrooms and several specimen rooms was begun and completed in the spring of 1925. Thus the science department was given a much wider scope. Today the Chicago Xornud College includes five luiildings and a large, beautiful campus with sev- eral athletic fields. It has 1.800 studeuts made up of the Elementary. University-Teachers, Kinder- garten. Household Arts and ilauual Training groups. Is it any wonder that it is difficult to visixalize this institution of today when one con- siders its meager beginning as a mere department in a high school?
