Let no tears add to their hardship. As the soldiers pass along, And although your heart is breaking, Make it sing this cheery song. Refrain: Keep the home-fires burning, VVhile your hearts are yearning, Though your lads are far away They dream of homeg There's a silver lining Through the dark clouds shiningg Turn the dark cloud inside out, Till the boys come home. Over seas there came a pleading, Help a nation in distressgn And we gave our glorious laddies- Honor made us do no less. For no gallant Son of Freedom To a tyra.nt's yoke should bend, And a noble heart must answer To the sacred call of Friend Refrain : Deaz'z'c'aiz'0n Just a token of loving reinenilnance To those students of I. S. N. U., Who now are our soldiers and sailors, And are lighting for me and for you. Once they labored and struggled for knowledge, For Democracy now they niust tight: They 'll give up their lives there if need be, For the great cause of Freedom and Right. To these nien whoin we lovc so, and honor, We dedicate this book just to show The home fires are really kept burning, And each heart is reflecting the glow.

U. in the year 1892 and from that time to the present he has served the in- stitution in a noteworthy manner. Among the qualities which have made him a favorite among faculty members and students alike, perhaps the greatest are his agreeable and obliging disposition, and his happy, cheerful temperament. He always has been ready to help in any way possible to bring success to the un- dertakings and enterprises of the school. With ever busy mop, broom and pan, he has accomplished much along the lines of sanitation and the mechanical adjustment of school af- fairs. It is with great regret that faculty and students mark this the last year of Mr. Hunt's service in our school. I 25 e 3?

S. N. U. SERVICE FLAG Through all the ages the stars have looked down from the serene depths of the heavens to strengthen the faith of the sons of men. In all literature and among all peoples they have been the symbols of purity and singlencss of purpose, of hope and aspiration, of excellence and high endeavor, of liberty and freedom. The stars of the American Hag fitly represent the free and in- dependent states bound together in the indissoluble union of a common purpose. As We pass along the street and see the service flag in the Window, we feel at once its significance-a man from this house is at the front in the service of his country. It is a token that he heard the nation 's call. It is a token that some mother is fervently praying for his return, praying, at all events, that he shall discharge his duties like a man. And ,if it comes to him to give the last full measure of devotion, her heart may be Wrung with anguish, but her bosom will swell with pride at the thought of the costly sacrifice that she has laid upon the altar of her country. S0 this school, this alma mater, this cherishing mother today unfurls this flag on Which stands as stars the roll of her honored sons and daughters Who have heard the call to duty. They have gone forth to fight our battlesg they have placed at their country's service youth vvith its hopes and pros- pects, health With its promise of future years, ambition with its lure, love with its charm, its tenderness, and devotion. All the wine of life seemed theirs, yet they have pushed aside the brimming cup at the summons of pa- triotic duty. They have risked all, they may lose all. It is this thought that sobers us. Yet what better epitaph can be placed upon any one's resting place than- Having served well his generation he has gone to his reward. In this great crisis What other service so complete, so splendid? And for those who return, as most of them Will, life Will have a fuller and richer meaning. To most of us, freedom is a matter of course. We read in our histories of the struggles it cost our forefathers to secure it and main- tain it against tyrant king or foreign oppressor, but these stories rarely fire our imagination. That we fail to value rightly these priceless principles of liberty is shown by the careless way in which We ourselves have violated them in dealing With what We consider inferior peoples. But to our boys who have stood in the trenches With shells bursting all about them, who have faced the machine-gun volley as they charged over the top, who have seen the ground strewn with their wounded and dying comrades in this mighty struggle for freedom, liberty acquires a new meaning. We value the things that cost us dear. We may confidently expect after this War is over upon this continent a new birth of freedom, purged of its dross, its selfishness, its injustice, in these sacrificial fires. 63 INDEX V9 1918 These men have gone to fight for our country. What is this United States in which we so proudly claim citizenship? ls it 3,000,000 square miles of territory and 100,000,000 prosperous people? Yes, and more. The republic is a conception of manhood, it is a system of society, a scheme of life, a plan of freedom, a state of mind, an ideal that every human being shall have the largest opportunity for developing the best that is in him and that noth- ing shall be put in the way of that development. It was for this doctrine, the doctrine that all men are by nature free and equal, that the right of life, to liberty, and to achieve happiness a.re inalienable that our fathers established this nation. This we have not forgotten and must never forget. lt is to make sure that this ideal shall not perish that we have entered the war. High as the toll may be in life and treasure, we shall be better for standing where we have always stood, whatever the cost. Observers on the battle line testify to the deep religious conviction that pervades the allied armies. lt may not be religion in its conventional forms. lt may be found in rough and profane men with words of cursing upon their lips. But the sobering conviction is there, the conviction that armies are but instruments to work the will of God, that our cause is His cause, that to fight for human liberty, for lasting peace, for the rights of oppressed peo- ples, for the opportunity for all men to have life more abundantly, is to fight with the stars in their courses. For this a Holy VV.ar. Never since the old crusaders set out to rescue the Holy sepulchre from the polluting presence of the Moslem has any nation en- tered into war with higher or holier purpose. We are a peace-loving people. VVe know the horrors of war. XVe know its cost in the lives of men, the tears of women, the stunted lives of half- starved children. XVe know that war corrupts our morals, lowers our ideals, destroys all the gains that the patient years of peace build up. Vle know that it takes its toll of our best blood and weakens the national stock. XVe are not blinded by the glitter of war, by the glory of victory. XVe are not moved by lust of conquest nor by prospect of commercial gain. lVe are not iired by the hatred of any other people merely because they are alien. But we have seen a nation for many years building war ships, casting cannon, piling up munitions of war, drilling its armies, creating a mighty military organiza- tion whose only rational and adequate purpose could be to despoil other nations, to destroy their commerce, and murder their citizens. XVe have seen this nation refuse to sign peace treaties or enter into international agreements at The Hague. We have seen the scholars of this nation develop a doctrine that lighting power is the goal of national progress, that national health re- quires national expansion at the expense of weaker nations, that the survival of weaker peoples retards the development of the human race, in short, that might makes right. XVe have seen this nation set her armies in motion to accomplish this infamous program. lt is as if Satan himself plotting the ruin of this fair world, had found in this nation the apt instrument of his 64 INDEX '2' 1918 hellish purpose. We have seen it overrun a little nation whose neutrality it had by solemn treaty pledged itself to protect. We have seen this power destroying the cities of its victim, laying waste her fair fields, slaughtering her peaceful inhabitants, outraging her women, deporting her working popu- lation. We have seen this power put aside all restraints of war and human- ity and use its submarines to sink every ship approaching the shores of the belligerent nations. Vessels of every kind whatever their flag, their char- acter, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals along with those of belligerents. Even hospital ships, and ships carrying relief to the sorely-stricken people of Belgium have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or principle. From these barbarities we could derive but one conclusion: That this nation proposed to carry out the frightful doctrines of its philosophers and at any cost to subjugate the world. The challenge is to all mankind. For us there was but one choice, and we have made it. We have highly resolved that this ruthless barbarity shall be stopped and stopped forever, that the principle of self-government for which our republic stands shall be vindicated and made secure for the salvation of the nations. With our lives and our for- tunes we shall prove to the world the great faith to which we were born. Our flag shall wear a new luster, a new glory shall shine in. the face of our people. In this holy cause, our allies have fought most gallantly. We see France bleeding at every pore, Russia paralyzed by internal dissensions, Britain and her colonies resisting doggedly, their sons by the hundreds of thousands sleep- ing under the sod of the fields upon which they fought. A Canadian soldier, now dead, Colonel John MacRae, calls to us from his resting place in the fields of Flanders in the finest bit of verse the XVar has produced: ln Flanders fields the poppies grow Between the crosses row on row That mark our place, and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amidst the guns below- We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields, Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you from failing hands we throw The Torch-be yours to hold it high! lf ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. 65 INDEX 22' 1918 So America must now take her part of the burden. Hating war as she does, she must fight as she never fought before-every nerve strained, all her resources called out, every man, every Woman, and every child doing his very best. Even so the road will be long and hard, and the heart sick with hope deferred. In these exercises We dedicate this service flag to our boys and girls in the army and navy and in the hospital service to express our appreciation of their devotion, our pride in what they have done, our satisfaction in the fact that they are ours, and that some measure of the credit that is theirs 1nay reflect upon us. But this flag as it hangs before us Will fall far short of its highest value, if it does not daily remind us that this is not merely a War of the army and navy of the United States. It is a War of the Ameri- can people. It is a War, too, against a resourceful, vigilant, and powerful foe, a war that can be Won only by a hard fight, by a united people, and by dint of great sacrifices. i Our soldier boys have taken an oath of allegiance and given solemn pledge of service. Shall not We who remain at home give the same pledge of loyalty, the same measure of unstinted service? We are not to serve in the trenches or behind the guns, it is for us to Work, to save, and to give, that the men at the front shall lack no means that can protect their lives, that can relieve their sufferings, that can strengthen their arms, that can fortify their courage and their resolution. In dedicating this flag let us dedicate ourselves, our energies, our re- sources, our every endeavor to this mighty conflict for our country, our lib- erties, and the rights of Man. 66 INDEX A Q3 1918 STUDENTS' FRIENDSHIP VVAR FUND CAMPAIGN During the month of November, 1917, the I. S. N. U. demonstrated its patriotism by taking a very active part in the Students' Friendship War Fund Campaign. This was a movement to raise one million dollars from the students and faculty members of the colleges of the United States to be dedicated to War service Work: seventy percent to the War work of the Y. M. C. A. in the cantonments and prison camps, twenty percent to the Y. W. C. A. War Council Fund, and ten percent to the emergency war needs of the World Student Chris- tian Federation. The cause was presented in general exercises by Dr. R. E. Hieronymus of the Extension Department. of the University of Illinois, Miss Atkin, Mr. Schroeder, and others. Miss Patterson made an appeal through a beautiful original poem, the poster committee, under the direction of Miss Fuqua and Miss Sheldon, did very clever work, Mr. Linkins aroused great interest through his ingenious device of George and the ladder, which announced the progress of the campaign, Mr. Lathrop served most faithfully as treasurer, and the soliciting committee, by its thorough work, brought final success. The amounts collected and sent to the national treasurer, Francis S. Phraner, were as follows: Faculty .... .... S 672.25 Students ..... .... . . 746.85 High School .... .... . . 166.50 School Organizations . . . 11.50 Total .... .................................................. S 1584.10 The school manifested a wonderful spirit of co-operation from first to last. It felt the challenge of a great need and responded heroically. In the country at large the original goal of one million dollars was largely oversubscribed, Thus the Students' Friendship War Fund stands as the largest contribution ever made for any cause by students and faculty members -of the United States. 67 x 68 INDEX '25 1918 DEAN MANCHESTER VVRITES THE BUYS Normal, Illinois, Monday, March 18, 1918. To the I. S. N. U. Boys in Service: Dear Boys-Boys in the camps, boys on the deep, boys in once Merrie England, boys in the trenches of France, wherever you are, two or three hundred of you, Dear Boys, this greeting from the Old School to you, to each and every one of you. Come back to us for an hour. Ah, here you are, in khaki and blue, back again in your old seats at general exercise time. The bells have rung. Hustling like chickens before an approaching thunder shower, are the belated stragglers. The whispering is subsiding, even back of me Where Miss Barton and Miss Colby sit. Perilously seated on the edge of his chair, over his glasses Mr. Holmes expectantly, watches Mr. Westhoff's stick. All of this indicates that the singing is about to begin. Do you see the big flag hanging in front? and, with a little imagination, the service flag with over 200 stars soon to be placed in the balcony to the front and your right? They keep usreminded of you. Do you miss some familiar faces on the platform? McGill is farming a considerable portion of Missouri, Madden is farm advisor for Sangamon County, Miss Lummis is studying in Columbia, Miss Swainson teaching in the Los Angeles normal, and Miss Stark at DeKalb, Eunice Blackburn is at the University of Chicago, Miss XXTl'lQ,'ht at Columbia, Wiiifielcl Scott at the University of Illinois, Miss Nind is in Michi- gan, Miss Coith has a good position teaching in North Carolina. You see that Miss Robb occupies Miss Stark is chair. Don't you think McDougle looks time in his new uniform? Hels aero instructor now, and, in your honor, is over from Champaign for the day. That is Denman of the class of '13 in his place. Miss Dole is in high school in Evanston. No, no. that isnlt Hattie Lewis, it is Mrs. CHattie Lewisj Chester Lay, teaching for Miss Davis, who has been loaned to the State Superintendent for the year. Well, what shall we sing? What indeed but 'tAmeriea, the Battle Hymn of the Republic, the t'Star Spangled Banneru? And we'll not forget the Marseillaise, but no 'tVVacht am Rhein this year. Since you are here we shall take time for the school song, which you will find on the inset opposite page 198. This song, you remember, was written by Henry B. Norton, who gradu- ated in the class of '61. Norton was one of the most brilliant students ever in this institution. The class of '61 was the second class to graduate, for the school opened on the morning of October 5, 1857, in Major 's Hall, Bloomington, upon which occasion there were present nineteen students, President Hovey, and his assistant, Ira Moore. Whe1'e are the rest of the boys, you ask? VVhere, to be sure. Seventy- seven enrolled last term and eleven of them left. If this thing keeps on there will be so many girls to each boy that it will either spoil a boy or Scare him to death to come here-which depends upon his temperament. 69 INDEX 'P' 1918 Now for the notices. Miss Colby announces that there will be a Red Cross benefit at a certain time and place, Atkin that the I. S. N. U. students' friendship fund has climbed Mr. Linkin 's ladder and finally reached a total of 95156-1.85, Miss Thomasma, that the pledge to cat no candy may be signed in the north hall, Mr. Howe, that the Rev. Dwight Hillis will speak upon German atrocities at Bloomington, etc., Miss Owen wishes to know if any student knows of any other soldier who would like one of those kits furnished by the Faculty VVoman's Club. Mr. Ridgley announces the dedication of the service flag and the address by President Felmley 5 Mr. Peterson, that he is supplied with smile- age books for sale 5 Miss Penstone, that Videttes for the soldier boys may be left in the main office. Miss Milner 's written communication, with only a few relapses from the indicative to her old imperative mood, concerns missing addresses, letters from the boys, magazines for them. Miss Cooper, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Schroeder-the last no longer a German defender-make pertinent announce- ments. I see you boys gazing over toward section two and rubbing your eyes. No, you are not dreaming, and it is no optical illusion. The girls are knitting, the ladies of the faculty are knitting, knitting right through general exercises- knitting, knitting, knitting to the tune of the Star Spangled Banner. NVhat but a world war could have brought them back to the practice of their great-grand- mothers? The speech for the day chances to be a happy medley by the President. I catch myself wondering how much of his good nature is due to his outing last week, when I saw him in slouch hat, blouse, and overalls, on the engine of a log train down in southeastern Missouri.. If he could only smoke a pipe he would pass for a typical Missourian. The barest outline of the speech must suffice: 1. Certain letters here call for teachers, others for women to fill govern- ment positions. If you must leave school see me about them. But you should not leave school unless you have to. Our school must not deteriorate. Ivhen our boys return they must have a country worth returning to. 2. The blanks to be filled out by the seniors and others who wish to teach next year may be found in the office. Do not be afraid to ask what you are worth. Nobody who has had two years in a normal school on top of a high- school education ought to teach next year for less than S 66.66666 a month. 3. The time we missed for lack of coal is now made up. Next Monday will be both calendar and school Monday. The days are back as the Lord arranged them. 4. We must congratulate our basketball boys and their coaches, Mr. Russell and Mr. James. To have won second place both in the minor college and in the high school tournament is creditable. V 5. It is our duty to conserve food and coal. The substitutes are palatable and wholesome. If you open your windows at nights-as you should- close the registers. 73 INDEX f-9' 1918 Do you notice, boys, that it is all about war? I sometimes wonder if we do not hear more about the war than some of you may. Even simplified spelling has been laid on the shelf, and etymology and taxation have no chance at all. The exercises are over, excepting that Mr. Westhoff's classes' are to sing '4Keep the Home Fires Burning. You say it looks good to see a bunch of girls again? Perhaps you look good to them, too. Do I think the skirts are shorter? Well, no, but possibly narrower. You know raw cotton is 25-30 cents a pound. But still BDZTS Cthe bottom of the dress reaches the top of the shoesb. The senior girls have voted to graduate in skirts and shirt waists-all on account of the war. No, the girls do not usually sing as they pass out. This is extraordinary, that they have struck up 4'Goodbye Broadway, Hello France, 4'We Are Going to Pay Our Debt to You. That is in your honor. Well, if there isn't another, Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile I ' ' Yesterday, boys, in a St. Louis paper I saw a picture-the first received it was said in America--of a line of our men who had been wounded or crippled. It was enough to make an old man 's blood boil to think that any American boy may be crippled or killed just because that infernal Kaiser wants more power. But we are going to trust that you will all come back to us, and the general exercises we will have then shall make any exercises we have ever had at the Old School seem like nothing at all. But the Vfidetzfe didn it ask me to fill an entire issue. So, good-bye. That means, you know, God be with you. Each of you owes me a letter now. Good-bye, O. L. Manchester. THE CALL OF FRANCE The singing rivers of La Belle France, That ran to the rolling sea, Are the weeping rivers of martyred France, For never a wave is free From the tears of the millions that bear a cross Of sorrow and death and pain, Hushed is the laughter that rang so loud, And saddened the gay refrain. O Sister Spirit of suffering France, America hears your call, We have rallied the strength of a mighty land To lift the war cloud 's pall, And when the singing rivers of France, Shall victory 's boast proclaim, The Sister Spirit of France set free, Will bless America's name.

U. have gone forth into active service for their country, those remaining behind have tried to do their bit and keep the home fires burning. Last November a War Service Committee, consisting of Prof. D. C. Ridgley, Dean Manchester, and Misses Milner, Owen, and Penstone, was appointed by Pres. Felmley to ,prepare a roster of the men and women in service. By means of many inquiries, much writing, and diligent investigation, the com- mittee had, within a month, compiled a roster containing 165 names and ad- dresses. After Christmas the committee began the work of sending a Vidette each week to every man and woman in the country 's service. This work was put in Miss Penstone's charge. She has been assisted by a faithful, efficient stu- dent committee, consisting in the winter term of Misses Bertha Collins and Esther Jackson, and Messrs. McConnell and Canopy, and in the spring term of Misses Scheffler and Martins, and Mr. McConnell. Each week over 200 Videttes have been wrapped and addressed. No extra Videttes have been printed, for the students have willingly handed in their papers for the sake of the boys in the far away camps. That the papers are appreciated and eagerly read by others as well as by our own lads is the testimony from camps at home and abroad. The War Service Committee also arranged for the purchase and dedi- cation of the large service Hag which at present bears 298 stars. At Christmas time the Faculty Woman 's Club, through a committee of which Miss Owen was chairman, prepared a very attractive booklet, contain- ing a list of I. S. N. U. 's Honor Roll. A copy was mailed to each person named on the Roll. The Club has also made and given over a dozen comfort kits to I. S. N. U. men who have left for service. Besides these special activities, I, S. N. U. carried on the following lines of war service: 1. In a Red Cross drive made in October, 1917, 8096 of the student body joined the Red Cross. 2. In the Registration Week in November, 97fZa of the student women and 100'k of the faculty women registered for service. 3. A Red Cross sewing room was open three days a week. Large quantities of work have been turned out. 4. A Surgical Dressings Shop was opened in February. 5. A large collection of books and magazines was made under Miss Mil- ner 's efficient direction. 6. The sum of 381550 was given to the Y. M. C. A. fund. 7. Liberty bonds were purchased by Philadelphia, by the Lecture Board, and by the students and faculty as a whole for the Students' Loan Fund. 8. A Smileage Book campaign was successfully carried on, largely through Mr. Peterson 's efforts. 9. Each grade in training school, and the kindergarten reached 10076 membership in Junior Red Cross. ' 10. A large amount of Red Cross work was done by the grades. 11. The Kindergarten Department, under Miss Leeis efficient manage- ment, arranged for a recital from which they cleared 515170, all of which they donated to the Red Cross. 12. A conservation class was taught by Miss Crum. 13. Liberty Loan speeches and patriotic addresses of various kinds were made by Faculty members. 75 - 1 76 INDEX 'Pi 1918 I. S. N. U. AUXILIARY OF NORMAL BRANCH RED CROSS During' the past year every branch of the Illinois State Normal University has helped in the Red Cross work-the children of the training' school, the students, and the faculty. WORK DONE BY THE CHILDREN The children in the Training School have substituted war relief sewing for a number of their regular sewing problems. They have made approxi- mately 23S articles including slings, abdominal bandages, shoulder wraps, hot water bag covers, bed socks, bootees, hoods and mittens. In addition to their class-room Work the training school children have done a large amount of volunteer work under the supervision of the training teachers, who have met with the pupils at a regular hour at the close of the school day. By this means they made comfort pillows, small quilts, gun wipes, ration heaters, bootees, housewives and one knitted comfort. The total number of articles made by the children was approximately 4,945. ARTICLES NIADE AT I. S. N. U.

S. N. U. I. S. N. U, in 1860 In 1839 by establishing three state normal schools Massachusetts began a new era in popular education. By 1855 New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Michigan and New Jersey had founded similar institutions. Thruout. the North progressive public men were urging free public schools and the adequate training of teachers. The Illinois State Teachers' Association, organized in 1853 set up as its two chief objects a free school law, and a state normal school. The free school law came in 1855, but the normal school was delayed. There lay in the state treasury the sum of .f1s200,000 the proceeds of grants of the Federal government, known as the college or seminary fund. Some members of the legislature sought to distribute this among existing denominational colleges. Others would establish a state university laying special emphasis upon agriculture and the mechanic arts, but the largest group urged that the most pressing educa- tional need in the state was better trained teachers. Finally the last two groups united in creating the State Normal University. Governor Bissell signed the bill February 18, 1857. Peoria, Bloomington, Batavia, Washiiigtoii, became candidates for the location of the school. Bloomington's bid of EE141,000 in lands and money was highest, hence the school was located at the center of Section 28, within one half mile of the junction of the two newly-built railroads, the Chicago and Alton, and the Illinois Central. Hon. Jesse W. Fell had been most influ- ential in securing the subscriptions that won the location. On October 5, 1857, the school was opened in Majors Hall in Bloomington with three teachers and nineteen students. The principal was Charles E. 79 INDEX '23 1918 Hovey, a Vermonter, a graduate of Dartmouth, for three years the leading teacher in Peoria and editor of the Illinois Teacher. With him were Ira Moore a graduate of the Bridgewater state normal school in Massachusetts, and Charl- ton Lewis of Yale, who became one of the foremost scholars and penologists of America. Later Mary Brooks, an accomplished primary teacher of Peoria, was employed to run the experimental school of seven pupils. Meanwhile the Board of Education had employed George P. Randall of Chicago, the leading architect in the West, to draw the plans for the Main Building. Contracts were let, the corner stone laid on September 29. In that month came the financial panic of 1857. Subscribers were unable to pay. Building operations stopped for two years. President Hovey deserves great credit for finally collecting the greater part of the subscription and completing the work undertaken. D In June, 1860, the first commencement was held in the new tho unfinished building. The following September saw the school in its new quarters with 161 students in attendance besides 123 children in the model school. The building standing solitary in the midst of a bare field could be seen for many miles across the prairie. A plan for planting the grounds was laid out in 1860 by William Saunders of Philadelphia. The plan waited until after the War in 1867 before Jesse Fell secured an appropriation of 33,500 for the work. With President Lincoln 's first call for volunteers in April, 1861, Joseph Gideon Howell, principal of the grammar school, and five students enlisted. Others were anxious to go. To hold the school together Principal Hovey pro- posed to raise a regiment of teachers, the normal students to serve as Company A. Drill was begun at once. In September the 33d Illinois was mustered in. Only one other northern regiment was led by a college president, the 42d Ohio under Col. James A. Garfield, president of Hiram College, who later became president of the United States. Normal bore an honorable part in the Civil war. Her service flag, had such iiags been known in the sixties, would have carried 128 stars for students, seven for members of the faculty. 80 INDEX 'P' 1918 The departure of President Hovey and a majority of the faculty and male students weakened the school. In April, 1862, came Richard Edwards, the new principal, a native of Wales, who after graduating from Bridgewater had served as principal of the normal schools at Salem, Mass., and at St. Louis. He was a forceful, energetic teacher and a public speaker of extraordinary power. There came also from Bridgewater Edwin C. Hewitt, later president, and Thomas Metcalf. Each of these men served the school for thirty-two years. From Harvard came Albert Stetson for twenty-five years teacher of literature and English, and W. L. Pillsbury, principal of the high school. In the department of natural science were Joseph Addison Sewell, later president of the University of Colorado, John NV. Powell, the explorer of the Colorado Canyon, and Stephen A. Forbes, for more than a generation our state entomolo- gist. John W. Cook and Henry McCormick, recent graduates of extraordinary promise, were put in charge of mathematics and geography. No other State Normal School equaled this in attendance, income, or the ability and influence of its faculty. No other state normal school, with the possible exception of the Oswego school, was so generally copied by the young schools springing up thruout the West. By 1876 the students had in- creased from 152 to 467, the model school from 123 to 312, the faculty from ten teachers to fifteen, the annual income from 312,000 to 329,550 On January 1, 1876, President Edwards resigned to accept the pastorate of the Congregational Church at Princeton, Ill. It is difficult adequately to characterize his moral worth, his eloquence and learning, his remarkable vigor, his laborious industry in the cause of education. Edwin C. Hewitt was immediately chosen to fill the vacancy. His admin- istration of fourteen and one-half years was marked by steady growth along established lines. The course of study during all these years had undergone little change. It was a three-year-course devoting the first year chiefly to the common branches, the remaining years to what we know as high-school branches, peda- gogy and practice teaching. Students who desired instruction in Latin, Greek, or German obtained them in the High .School C1862-18955. The students were usually ill-prepared, but earnest, plucky, and ambitious. They learned to read with the fervor of Dr. Edwards, to pronounce with the precision of Thomas Met- calf, and to spell the sesquipedalian terms of the dictionary under the guidance of Dr. Hewitt. These men with Ira Moore and Albert Stetson had all been students of Nicholas Tillinghast at Bridgewater and brought to the prairies of Illinois the inflexible honesty, the hatred of sham and superficiality, the uncompromising thoroughness that characterized the old West Pointer. It was reported that every student acquired lateral curvature from carrying back and forth his copy of Lippinc0tt's Universal Gazateer that was the chief text book in geography. Natural Science received large attention from the first, largely because the Illinois Society of Natural History housed its large collections in the space now occupied by the Philadelphian Hall. Our large museum is due to the work of that society. During the administration of Dr. Hewitt the faculty increased to 18, the enrollment to 677 besides 503 in the model school, the income to 3936,200. With the election of president John W. Cook came a vigorous progressive policy that brought to pass things that had been talked about for a generation. He first secured for the training school a new building costing 322,000 and organized the training upon a more secure basis. In the early days, the so- called model school was largely a school for observation, students taught classes but with little supervision. In 1874 Thomas Metcalf had been ap- 81 INDEX 23 1918 pointed head of the training school, and had been provided with three assist- ants known as critic teachers. Under President Cook there came Charles and Frank McMurry and C. C. Van Liew, men who had studied Herbartian peda- gogy in Germany and were eager to organize the model school in accordance with it. Other young teachers were called to the faculty, Miss J. Rose Colby, a grad- uate of the University of Michigan and of Radcliffe, put new life and meaning into the study of literatureg David Felmley succeeded President Cook as teacher of mathematicsg Lida Brown McMurry began her unmatched career as primary critic, O. L. Manchester, a Dartmouth man, became principal of the high school. These younger men under the leadership of President Cook at- tacked the problems of education with great ardor. The Faculty Club was ,.115'i'1 ,JN --fi t . L D fi .

In 1895 an appropriation was secured for a library and gymnasium, and the beautiful stone building with architecture so characteristic of the Altgeld regime was erected. In the earlier days there had been a text-book library with free text books, a reference library and two society libraries, all with student librarians. Pres. Cook consolidated these in rooms nine and ten and put the present librarian in charge 27 years ago. He introduced systematic gym- nastic training when in 1891 Miss Lucia Raines began to give two lessons per week to the young ladies. Later Miss Amelia Lucas from the Emerson school of Expression and B. C. Edwards divided their time between reading and gym- nastics. . 82 INDEX 'P' 1918 In 1894, to attract high school graduates, a two-year course of study was introduced, and, with the abolition of the high school in 1895, a four-year course including Latin and German was installed,but it was still true that the majority of students were admitted by examination and were without high- school preparation. By the close of President Cook 's administration the faculty had increased from eighteen to twenty-one members, the annual income to 9541,740. The enrollment had risen to 8-10, but the training school had dwindled to 211. In 1899 President Cook accepted the presidency of the state normal school at DeKalb and Arnold Tompkins was elected president in his stead. This date definitely marks the end of the Bridgewater regime. The new president had taught at Depauw and Terre Haute and was then professor of education at the University of Illinois. He had won distinction as a brilliant writer and speaker on educational themes. He brought into the school an element of consecration to duty, a singleness of purpose, a faith in human nature, a breadth of philosophy, and a fund of breezy humor whose tonic effects were felt in every classroom. Dr. Tompkins at once moved to modify the course of study. No other year in the history of the institution had witnessed so many radical changes. Recitation periods were lengthened and their number reduced to twenty per week. Attendance was required only at general exercises and at recitations. Required practise teaching was reduced to three terms and the required psy- chology and pedagogy from 40 term-hours to 25. At the end of the year Dr, Tompkins was called to the principalship of the Chicago normal school, a position made famous by the genius of Col. F. VV. Parker, and one that Dr. Tompkins had long coveted. David Felmley who for ten years had served as professor of mathematics was elected president. He has continued the lines of development begun by Dr. Tompkins and has contributed in this institution to the great expansion of function that during the past twenty years has characterized the normal schools of the middle west and far west. The new developments may be summarized as follows :- The Stmzmer School: Six weeks in 1900, twelve weeks after 1902, eighteen weeks Cineluding the mid-spring termj after 1913. Attendance in 1900, 444, in 1916 total summer enrolments, 3,022 Science in the Cmriczalzmz: The old course of study had recognized no place for science in the elementary grades. Charles W. Wl1it.te11 was made the first teacher of nature study in 1901. Soon the school garden was laid out, a greenhouse built, and the campus replanted with new trees and shrubbery to repair the frightful ravages of the storm of June 10, 1902. New courses in physics, chemistry, biology, and nature study have been established requir- ing in all seven teachers instead of the two deemed sufficient in 1899. Enlfwgecl Training School Fr1c'iIif1'0s: The meager attendance in the train- ing school C160 in 18995 made it clear that a radical reorganization must be had. In 1901 a contract was made with the public school board of Normal by which the training school was merged into the public school system. This union of the schools lasted five years. It was opposed by many citizens of Normal who were defeated in all school elections with one exception. The contract was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in May, 1906. After the dissolution of the Union the training school was more than twice as large as before, for it retained sixty per cent of all the children in the town of Normal. Steps were taken in 1906 to establish a high-school as part of the training school. In 1916 a contract was made with the State Board of Admin- istration by which the instruction of the children at the Soldiers' Orphans' Home was to be taken over by the Normal University. 83 INDEX ee' 1918 The Teachers College: Beginning in 1900 various departments began to offer advanced elective courses. In 1907 the state legislature granted to the Normal University the power to confer degrees in education. Gradually the advanced work was developed and organized and a four-year teachers college curriculum established. This action was taken because of the increasing de- mand in high schools for teachers combining the thoro professional training of the normal school with a broader scholarship than the two-year program affords. The University High School 1230 studentsj has developed along with the Teachers College. Special Curriculums: From the beginning the normal school has offered instruction in the rudiments of music, art, penmanship, and bookkeeping, the courses offered were brief and required of all. Since 1900, the demand for special teachers of adequate preparation has led to new curricula and addi- tional teachers. The Kindergarten with two teachers. Public school music with two full-time teachers, none before 1899. Art and Design, with three teachers instead of one. Manual Training with two teachers. Home Economics with four teachers. Commerce with two teachers. Agriculture with two teachers. In 1914 the Normal university farm, for fifty years rented to local nursery companies, was provided with buildings and stock, and is now conducted at a profit to the institution. No other normal school in the country is so well equipped for teaching intensive agriculture including dairying, poultry-raising, and swine-breeding. In 1900 the curriculums offered were a two-year curriculum for high-school graduates, a three-year curriculum for other students, and a four-year curri- culum for such as wished to add Latin or German. Because of the fact that nearly all students are now high-school graduates, the two-year general curri- culum has been differentiated to prepare teachers of upper grades, lower grades, and primary grades. The three-year program is restricted to students having three-years of high-school preparation or their equivalent. Students of lower preparation are given the choice between taking preparatory studies to remove their high school deficiencies, or entering the new country-school department, to fit themselves for third grade teachers' certificates. In 1914 an extension department was created carrying normal instruction every two weeks to study-centers organized at various points in the state. The enrolment of teachers in 1917 reached 658. The past nineteen years have thus been years of great expansion. The faculty and the income have grown much faster than the student body, the per capita cost of normal school instruction has more than doubled. The number of teachers has grown from 21 to 72, the annual income for operation from 341,740 to S213,000g the number of normal students in regular terms from 600 to 937, the number of different summer-school students from 0 to 25775 the high-school enrolment from 0 to 2505 the children in the elementary school from 211 to 558, the children instructed in the Soldiers' Orphans' Home from 0 to 452, the non-resident students in extension courses from 0 to 677. Altho most of these items will show some shrinkage for the present year, yet the present complete organization will be maintained and improved so as to afford the best possible facilities for educating teachers of Illinois.

In the fall term the president was Ethel Harrison, who had been an active member during the previous year, and had given much of her time and energy to the Workg in the Winter term, the president was Perna M. Stein, who had had a great deal of experience in Illinois and Minnesotag and the spring term, Paul E. Mapes, as president, showed his superior ability in arranging programs. During the year the club had the pleasure of listening to lectures given by Williani B. Brigham of McLean County, Professor Eyman, and others.

FELL HALL They also serve who only stand and wait, seems to express the function of Fell Hall, our new residence hall for women, during the school year of 1917 and 1918. One disappointment after another has delayed the opening of the building so that many who had selected their rooms and made up their minds to a year of real dormitory life are now graduating without having had so much as one single spread or house meeting. Not all the girls of Illinois State Normal University can, nor will all of them desire to, live in Fell Hall. Yet all the girls of the school will have some part and parcel of the benefit of having such a building upon the campus. Even the boys, if the war does not reduce that portion of our student body to the disappearing point, will feel that the hall affords them some other pleasure than the doubtful one of hurrying out the front door at closing time. For the building is to be devoted to the social life of the entire school. The spacious living room and dining room, opening as they do each upon the other by means of great swinging doors, can be made practically one apartment adapted to use for large school functions. Cloakrooms for both men and women open from the entrance hall. The kitchen is equipped so that a large number can be served conveniently. With such accommodations, one can readily see that alumni banquets, faculty teas and receptions, dancing club parties, and so on, will be more conveniently and pleasantly housed than in years gone by. What customs or traditions may grow up about the life of the girls in the building only the years will be able to tell. Some things are certain how- ever. The beams of the dinning room will re-echo to songs and laughterg and pleasant hours will be passed about the great fireplace in the living room. BLANCHE' DURFLINGER-T710zzghtfzfl and learned.

The fall term, under the leadership of Miss Cash, was a busy and profitable one. In the winter term the society had the misfortune to lose its president, Mr. Quick, just two weeks before the contest. But with the help of the faculty advisor, Miss Stark, the new 'president-Miss' Irwin-was able to steer the Philadelphia bark successfully thru the treacherous shoals of inter-society basketball games and literary contest and bring it safely to shore with a few points to spare. The work of the spring term, with Mr. Rolley at the helm, has gone very well indeed. In losing Miss Stark, the society lost a faithful friend, but Miss Jane Black- burn has proved to be a helpful and efficient advisor. Letters from the many who have gone from the service of Philadelphia into the service of their country have been an inspiration to present Phila- delphians. Old Philadelphia has kept '4Going On thru her sixtieth year, and is ready to face another sixty years. MEMBER OF SENIOR CLASS PASSES AXVAY Miss Sylvia Watts of this year 's Senior Class, died at the Brokaw Hospital April 27, 1918. She had been ill since the beginning of the spring term. Friends of Sylvia will remember her patience and cheerfulness during her illness, which was interfering so much with her plans and ambitions. A short but impressive funeral service was conducted in Bloomington, on the following Sunday, by Rev. Mr. Bloomer, Students and teachers of the I. S. N. U. extend their sincerest sympathy to the bereaved family. 94 INDEX 2' i 1918 THE VIDETTE The VIDE'FTE has just completed what has probably been its most successful year, despite the fact that many difficulties were encountered because of war conditions. These difficulties included the enlistment of two editors-in-chief, one assistant editor, and three members of the editorial staff, and the resignation of one member of the staff who entered the teaching profession. Under the direction of Miss Penstone, VIDETTES have been mailed to every one of the War Service Roster. The VIDETTE has gone to practically every can- tonment and training camp in the United States, from Bremerton on Puget Sound to Fortress Monroe on the Atlantic, and also to members of the A. E. F. in France. Miss Penstone had charge of the NVith Our NVarriors department which was an exchange of letters and news of our men in service. Mr. Harry J. Owens and Mr. Harry Stewart had been elected as editor-in- chief and assistant editor, Mr. Stewart enlisted during the summer of 1917 and Mr. Owens followed in October. Mr. Bradford Stewart was then elected editor-in-chief and continued in office until April, 1918. Miss Helen Kasbeer was assistant editor in the fall, but left school at Thanksgiving and was succeeded by Miss Alice A. Doner, who was chosen editor-in-chief after the enlistment of Mr. Stewart. Mr. NV. O. Cooper, society editor, and Herschel Scott, joke editor, also enlisted in the fall. Mr. VVarren Covins handled the joke column for some time but resigned to enter the navy. Mr. Theron XVhite filled his place for of the remainder of the year in a satisfactory manner. Miss Miriam Manchester, exchange editor, Miss Esther Reichel, art editor, Miss Lorena Beckwith, assistant editor in the spring, Miss Mildred Bond, reporter, and the high school members of the staff, Mr. Paul Packard, athletics, and Mr. Don Coen, reporter, all helped in making the year a successful one for the VIDETTE. 96 E , 97 I INDEX 5 1918 XVRIGHTONIA 'S OFFICERS Custer Skeeters Logan Burkinshaw Dean Le Marr Priest Rayl Yewell VVRIGHTONIA Wr'ighto1iia began her Work in the fall of 1917 in excellent trim. ivitli Mr. VV.

This is, next to the debate, one of the hardest and most trying numbers of the contest. Miss Van Hook Won this point for XVrightonia. Last year she Won the deelamation for us. We appreciate her loyal support. Wrightonia is grateful to her teams and all who helped in any Way to keep old Wrightoiiia up to the standard during this trying year. Though We were defeated, the contests were close, and a good contest is always worth While. Mr. LeMarr was elected president for the spring term. Many interesting programs were arranged for. A war garden, under the supervision of Professor Linkins, was planned for and carried on by members of the society. Mention must here be made of VVrightonia's service flag which was made and presented during the fall term. W1'ighto11ia was the first organization in the school to have a service Hag. At that time the flag contained thirty-four stars. That number is now more than doubled, 98 f jp . ..f, V' ,gw:zf'-'51,-ay--fwfr 07,1 V,,: 5!'

It was interesting to note that the XVrightonian con- testants were all women. The program opened with a debate, Resolved, That NVe should Pay the Cost of the Present Vtfar Much More Largely Through Contemporaneous Taxa- tion than has Hitherto Been Provided For. The speakers for the affirma- tive were Mr. A. J. Rissinger and Mr. Ezra Reed of Philadelphia, for the nega- tiveg Miss Estelle Yewell and Miss Perna Stine of XVrightonia. The debate was hotly contested, the decision of the judges being 2 to 1 in favor of Philadel- phia. Next came the vocal solos. Miss Mary Seright, the XVrightonian contestant sang 'tMy Lover, He Comes on the Skee tClough-Leighterj, and An Irish Love Song tLangj. Philadelphia was represented by Miss Ruth Huffington who sang HA Banjo Song CS-idney Homerj, and He XVas a Prince tFrank Lynesj. Miss.Seright was victorious. The orations given were exceptionally good. '4The Call to Arms was given by Miss Miriam Manchester- Mr. NVillard Canopy won for Philadelphia With the oration, Why' VVe Are at Wai'. The instrumental solos were next on the program. Miss Annetta Dennis, representing VVrightonia, played the Spring Songv tHenselpj, and H Chromatic Waltz CGodardD. Miss Anna Larkin, the Philadelphian contestant, played Kamennoi OstroW tRubinsteinD. Both contestants displayed unusual abil- ity. The decision of the judges was in favor of Miss Dennis. The W1'ighto1iia1is won also in extempore speaking. Miss Nellie Van Hook was the contestant and spoke on t'Food Conservation. Mr. Elias Rolley, con- testant for Philadelphia, spoke on VVar Classifies People. The last number on the program was the reading contest. Miss Hazel Shaner read The Swan Songl' by Katherine R. Brooks. Miss Lora Dare, winner of last year's Edward's Medal Contest, read The Flag Factory by lVIargarite S. Gerry. Miss Shaner won the point for Philadelphia. EDWARDS ' MEDAL CONTEST The annual Edwards' Medal Contest was held February 23, in the audi- torium, The performance of all the contestants was high class and deserved the large audience that assembled for the affair. Miss Miriam Manchester Won the medal offered for the best oration, and Miss Hazel Bachenheimer Won the contest in declamation. The program follows : Music-Girls' Glee Club. Oration- The Call to Arms --Miriam Manchester. Oration-' ' Lloyd George ' '-Lorena Beckwith. Oration- VVhy VVe Are at VVar -NVillard Canopy. Reading- When the Fleet Goes By -Hazel Bachenheimer.

S. N. U. in the oratorical contest at Macomb. Miss Manchester won unanimously with her oration, Our Call to Armsng Mr. Rolley drew as his subject for exteinpore speaking, Third Liberty Loan. H He was given a 2 to 1 decision by the judges. Macomb was successful in the declamatory contest, with a 2 to 1 decision. Although Miss Bachenheimer did not win iirst place, she read extremely well and we are proud of her work. Since Miss Manchester won in the oratorical contest, the lnter-State Ora- torical Contest, which is held in Illinois once in five years, was held here Friday, May 3. Mr. Holley, the winner of the extempore speaking contest, left school to join the colors and his place was filled by Miss Lorena Beck- with. Only two states, Wiscoiisiii and Illinois, were represented in exterupore speaking. Miss Beckwith won the contest. This was the second annual extem- pore contest and it was held in the afternoon. ln the evening the twenty-third annual oratorical contest was held. There were tour contestants, Miss Man- chester from l. S. N. U., and representatives from the three Normal schools at Cedar Falls, Iowa, VVhitewater, Wiscoiisiii, and Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The Wiscoiisiii representative won first place and the Cedar Falls contestant won second place. 103 INDEX J' 1918 LECTURE BOARD Bloomer Abraham YVesthoff Peterson Owen Zinnnerinan Halliday THE LE CTURE COURSE In spite of the coinpetition with war benefit entertaiinnents the Lecture Fourse had a very prosperous year. Prof. Paul J. Goode is lecture on the Geo- graphic Conditions of the European IVar brought out in yivid fashion the supe- riority of the Allies over Germany and her allies in the natural resources essential to success in the war. To Miss Owen inuch credit is due for bringing to Xornial the distinguished English poet and lecturer. John Masefield, who gave some wonderful word paintings of war scenes. All three of the niusical numbers pleased well. Probably the University of Illinois Band aroused the greatest enthusiasm, especially the Xylophone and niarinibaphone playing. The pop- ularity of the Trio de Lutece and of Christine Miller showed that the niorc serious niusic, when so splendidly given, is wanted by our school. This year two of the faculty nienibcrs of the Board who have seen long service retired. Miss Owen and Mr. Peterson. Among the student nienihers of the Board Messrs. Frank Zinnnerinan and Elnio Dillon, and Miss Hazel Halliday rendered exceptionally competent. service. The course follows: Thursday, Oct. 18-Christine Miller. Saturday, November 10--Trio de Lutece.

Last year more than twenty students received the degree of Bachelor of Education. This 1Vear7s class consists of nine -six women and three men. The Senior College Club has not been active this year, but it still exists as an organization. If a few more people who have finished K2 will realize, next year, the value of keeping on in school, the club will once more take its place among student activities.

And to you, brothers in war service, Cicero extends a most cordial greeting. At the first regular meeting of the year, October 5, 1917, the following oflicers were elected: president, Elias Rolleyg vice-president, Ezra Reed, sec- retary, Edward M. WOIIQSQ treasurer, Alan D. Drynan, sergeant-at-arms, Lewis Millman. Cicero held its open meeting November 5 in Philadelphian Hall. At this meeting the Honorable John A. Sterling addressed the organization and its friends on the subject of America and the Great Wa1'. Due to the large percent -of men drawn from the society into various forms of war service, Cicero has, from the beginning of the school year, lacked the enthusiasm which comes from large numbers. Throuout the year the men called to the colors were those most active in Cicero, they left vacancies which were difficult to till. With the redoubled efforts on the part of the remaining men to complete their course of study before they, too, leave to serve their country. the Ciceronians have felt it to be their duty to forego, for a time, active par- ticipation in the society in order that their efforts might be concentrated upon the problem of the hour. Do not confuse this period of quiescence in the organ- ization with senility, for, during this period new phases of activity and useful- ness were constantly discussed and gradually formulated. When the time is ripe this quiescent period like similar periods in other activities, will burst forth into a thing of power. At such a time as this Ciceronians are proud that their number on the active roll is small, for it shows that Cicero is formed of men who respond promptly to a call to higher duty. Again Brothers in Cicero, both here and 'cover there, greetings. WILLIAM QUICK- CIefmZ'i1ze.s.9 is next to godlincssft HARRY RAYL- Flirty, and 'most plcn.9f1nt.

INDEX ta 1918 I THE SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club, tirst organized in 1912, consists of faculty and student members interested in various lines of scientific study. Student members are elected by the executive committee from lists submitted by the science teachers of the University. Students thus made eligible to join the club appreciate the privilege offered and do not need urging to become members. The club meets once each month in the lecture room of the library. The programs are always varied and interesting. The discussions which follow the reading of the papers are by no means dull parts of the program. They are spirited and amusing as well as instructive. This year for the second time, a delegate was sent by this club to the Academy of Science which met in Joliet, February 22-23. Mr. Braun was selected this year.

MANUAL ARTS BUILDING 110 INDEX '29 1918 GIRLS ' DEBATING CLUB The Girls' Debating Club experienced an unusual degree of progress, dur- ing the year 1917-18, notwithstanding some serious handicaps. Miss Minnie Niess most capably piloted the members of the club during the fall term. A study of the principles of parliamentary law was taken up, which lead to a close observation of these laws in the practical work of the club. A chart showing a diagram of parliamentary motions was purchased which will aid future presidents of the organization. Along with this valuable work, the club enjoyed many interesting literary and musical programs. The Work of the club was hampered during the winter term by the Heoal shortage, in that Room 12 was not comfortably heated, consequently, for six Weeks the club meetings were discontinued. There had been planned a series of four debates on live questions of the day. Only one group of debaters was privileged to appear because of the cancelled programs. The effort of this one group evidenced the excellence of the Work that might have been accom- plished under favorable circnmstanees. Miss Cora l. Botts was president during this term. Through the inspiring leadership of Miss Blanche Aeree, the club enjoyed a most profitable period of Work throughout the spring term. Miss Blake, by her visits and helpful suggestions, has encouraged the club in all .undertakings. Her interest has been greatly appreciated by the girls of the Debating Club. Mr. Sanford and several members of his debating class also gave valuable help during the year. LILLIAN HIGGS-t'Her voice was ever gentle, Soft, and low.

April 26, 1918 The last meeting of the year was of a unique character. Under the guidance of Miss Grace Thomasma, of the English Department, the club took a most delightful trip to the Orient to study girl life in Japan.

U. with Mr. A. R. Willianis in charge. There were eleven students enrolled-nine men and two women. Cf these, five men were graduated. In the fall of 1915 Miss Sells came to take charge of the Shorthand and Type- writing Classes. There were sixteen new students enrolled-six men and ten women. Of these, two men and two women were graduated. In the fall of 1916 there were twenty students enrolled-thirteen men and seven Women. Cf these, four men and three women will be graduated this spring. We hope to be able to have next year a much larger enrollment than ever before, and a larger percentage of graduates. In order to accomplish this, letters and material have been sent to graduates of high schools all over the state. This has required a great deal of time and labor, but we think in the end it will prove to be time and labor well spent. Owing to the efforts of Mr. Williains and Miss Sells and the cooperation of the students with them in these efforts, the Commercial Department of the I. S. N. U. has come to be one of the most important departments of the University. We now have a permanently organized Commercial Club that next year will be willing to compete for prominence and importance with the other clubs of the University. Following is a list of the officers of the Commercial Club for the spring term, 1918: President: Frank Crosby. Vice-President: Catherine C'Connor. Secretary-Treasurer: Floyd Pfiffner. 114 INDEX 15 1918 NATURE STUDY CLUB The Nature Study Club, as the name suggests, is an organization whose purpose it is to develop an interest in the World of nature and to advance the cause of the nature study movement. The year 1917-18 Was a very successful one for the club. All members were faithful in attendance, and all participated willingly in the programs. In every Way the members showed a deep interest in the Work, and manifested a true nature study spirit. The officers for the year were: president, Minnie Niessg vice-presidents ! Dorothy Douglas, and Jessie Frankenburger, secretary-treasurer, Mary Dean. Much valuable information and much pleasure were derived from the various meetings throughout the year from such topics as: Nature Study VVork in General, Prominent Naturalists, Bird and Animal Life, Native Trees and Flowers, VVild Life in National Parks. During the year the club also enjoyed some social gatherings. One of these, held at the home of Miss Patterson, had as a special feature the initia- tion of ten new members. A picnic supper given during the spring term out among the beauties of nature will long be remembered With pleasure by the members of the club. MABEL BENNETT- If you think you'ZZ 'u in., youfve won.

The red brick house that has proved so valuable in producing plays is now entirely owned by the Jesters. . The stunts composing the show were, for the most part, original with the exception of the last one, a French comedy of one act. Dances were given between the stunts by Miss Thompson, Miss Kitchens, and Miss Moulic, by six girls of Miss Baker 's class, and by Miss XVatkins and Miss Raycraft. The first act was a scene in a local millinery shop, owned by Floyd Ptiffner, assisted by Jessie Button and Francis Jones as salesladies. Local types of characters were represented as buying hats, by Helen Pringle, Lorraine Kraft, Lora, Dare, Bertha Foster, VVinifred Priest, Bernice Moulie. and Irene Quinn. Act two was a clever take-off on the yearly Index, written and presented by Dorothy Kitchens and Francis Bentchler. Members of the faculty and various school activities were represented by Dorothy Griggs, Francis Oberkoetter, Esther Johnson, Marjorie Rentchler, Dudley Courtright, Paul Le Marr, Margaret Manchester, Floyd Ptiifner, Bane Pierce, Elizabeth Haley, Dorothy Darrah and Miriam Manchester. The third stunt consisted of music and jokes, furnished by Arnold Beckman, Paul Packard, and Clarence Westhoff, assisted by ltlr, Miller. The fourth act, the French comedy, was given by Winifred Ridgley, Florence Snyder and Lynn XVatson. The scenes were introduced by Carolyn Miller and Hazel Bachenheimer. Music was furn- ished by the orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Keleher. , 116 INDEX '-9' 1918 L- ' ,..,.e-- ,.., ' ' ' 1 YOUNG WOMEN'S 'CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The readiness of the Young Women 's Christian Association to meet con- ditions imposed on Women by the war has forever proved that the Association has a right to exist and a task to perform. As We have watched the War Woi-k Council, the special branch of the Association created to meet War needs, originate the hostess house idea and carry it out successfully in camp after camp until the government now recognizes hostess houses as a potent factor for good and for keeping up the morale of the men in training, as We have seen Women, at the suggestion of Y. VV. O. A., organizing to safeguard the young girlhood of the land, protect and aid foreign Women and house girls in industry, and as we have seen some of our best secretaries cross the sea for work in Russia and France, We have thrilled with pride at being part of such a movement. The part that the I. S. N. U. helped through the Student Friendship War Fund, one-fifth of which Went toward Y. VV. C. A. War work, makes it all the more our own. The Association barely started the ball of the Friendship Fund rolling. The Whole school united to make it an li. S. N. U. affair and faculty and students together learned the beauty and satisfaction of giving. The Doll Show this year was new for our Association. Girls bought dolls, dressed them, and gave them to the Association. At the time of the Japanese sale, shortly before Christmas, the dolls were put on exhibition and prizes given for the best dressed and the most cleverly dressed dolls. Then the seventy dolls were sent to children in Normal and in the Orphans' Home. 'Ne hope to make the doll show an annual affair. This year the Association has adopted the Girls, Industrial Home of Bloomington. It all started at Thanksgiving when the ten girls of the social service committee each invited a guest from the Home. The hostesses and guests were so mutually pleased that some of the girls continued their inter- est in the Home, and this spring the Association took over the Sunday after- noon meetings at the Home. This spring We observed Holy Weel: by morning services at the Christian Ohurch. Twenty-five to thirty girls came each morning. Easter morning saw girls, seventy-five of them, slipping quietly out to the sunrise service. Plans for the summer include regular Work plus a patriotic bit of War gardening, Where the girls will demonstrate their ability to raise corn and tomatoes as well as they can conduct a sale or a Wednesday evening meeting. 117 INDEX 2' 1918 CHORAL CLUB For many years the Choral Club has held first place among the musical organizations of the school. Through the never-tiring efforts of Mr. XVesthoff and the inspiration which results from having an efiicient and devoted leader, the club is finishing another very successful year. Again this year, Miss Eulalia Tortat, was the accompanist. One of the chief aims of the Choral Club is to give an opportunity to its members to become acquainted with the music of the world's best composers. This aim is accomplished by the use of selections from Gounod, Schumann, Mozart and others. As in past. years, this year also an appreciation of and interest in music of this type has been developed among our students. In the fall term there was a. membership of sixty-eight, sixty women and eight, men. Although the men were few in number, they did commendable work, and in the fall term concert they made a splendid showing. It was de- cided, however, owing to the small number of men enrolled in school, to limit the membership during the winter and spring terms. entirely to girls. One of Sullivan 's operettas, t'The Rivals, was presented by the Choral Club at the close of the winter term, and the usual sacred concert was given on the afternoon of Baccalaureate Sunday.

Classes in the Gymnasium building during the fall term will testify to the unusual number of strange noises issuing from the band room, indicative of the number aspiring to places in the band. Needless to say all did not sur- vive, but those Who did were well rewarded for their efforts by the oppor- tunity of receiving instruction and inspiration under Mr. NVesthoff's leader- ship. The Work was enjoyed by all and the unceasing efforts of Mr. Westlioff made it possible for the band to present three programs at general exercises. 119 INDEX 2' 1918 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club for the year 1917-18 has consisted of about twenty members, chosen from the members of the Choral Club. The personnel of the Glee Club changed from term to term, owing to changes in the student body. Under the efficient leadership of Mrs. Keleher the Glee Club did very good Work throughout the year. They furnished music at the Intersociety contest, the Edwards Medal contest, the Commencement Exercises, and they sang several numbers on the Choral Club program of the fall term. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY The Alumni Quarterly is a thirty-two page publication issued during the months of February, May, August, and November, by the Alumni Association of the University. lt is financed Wholly by the members of the Alumni Asso- ciation and is responsible only to them. lt was founded for the purpose of keeping its members informed of their friends and of the life of the University. The executive committee of the Association, consisting of the Faculty Alumni and the members of the Senior College, appoints the managing editor and the business manager. Exercising that function, the committee last year ap- pointed Mr. T. J. Wilsoii editor, and Mr. Thomas Barger business manager. Since that time Mr. Wilsoii has served in the capacity for which he was chosen but as Mr, Barger refused to accept the position of business manager, Prof. F. D. Barber assumed the duties of business manager in addition to the duties of treasurer of the Association. He has managed affairs so well that the Quar- terly is better situated, iinancially, than it has been before. During the past year the Quarterly has given considerable space to arti- cles dealing with the causes of the war and our duties in carrying it on. One of these articles appeared in the August number, being the commencement address of Dr. J. A. H. Keith at the l. S. N. U. commencement in June, 1917. Another article was on the subject, Some Phases of the lVorld XVar, by Prof. D. C. Ridgley. Aside from these articles the matter in the Quarterly has dealt almost entirely with news of the Alumni and of the University. The present. editorial policy of the Quarterly is to work for the good of the public school system, for the good of the teaching fraternity, for the good of the Alma Mater, and for the good of the Alumni Association. The Quar- terly lives to serve, and, to that end, it invites all members of the class of 1918 to become active members of the Alumni Association, and, consequently, mem bers of the Quarterly family, 120 f-IRRTI S 'E' if ar' f if f ' ' g M qu 'P , 1539 .

Courtright, the veteran quarter-back, and Porky Packard, the infallible pivot man, were the only old men in the lineup. Rice, the full back from Moweaqua, was one of our steadiest men and he was also strong on the defense. More and Zim- merman were the ends, and they covered their territory well. Moore com- pleted many forward passes that resulted in touchdowns. Meyers and Crosby were our two tackles. They were always on the ball and supported the back field well. Carlson and Lawrence were the guards. They played well and were fast enough to keep up. Packard was the pivotman of both the defense and the offense. The entire defensive and offensive plan worked around him. Arnold, Stubbletield, Rice, Swigert, and Courtriglit were the back field. Ar- nold, a graduate of Normal High, was a good plunger and a strong man on defense. All the games were well attended and considerable enthusiasm was dis- played by the students.

Covers were laid for about fifty people, and with the exception of the fact that President Felmley was unable to be present the affair was entirely successful and was a pleasing commemoration of the season of 1917- 18, which ended in Normal 's placing second in the Little Nineteen. Dean Manchester acted as toastmaster and the following toasts were given: Our Team, Coach Russell. How We Did It, Captain Courtright. Coach Russell presented basketball letters to the following: Capt, Dud Courtright, Hovie V. Fielder, Ap Appenzeller, Farmer Mohr, Mick Twomey, Ike Bone, Emmet Myers, and Jake Crosby. The election for next year's captain resulted in the choice of Bert Ap- penzeller.

Perhaps you sprained your ankle, Or your knee is out of joint, Pray, do not let that disturb you, All you have to do is point, The wet towel soon will reach you, It will cure each ache and pain, And soon you will be fighting, Boosting up that score again. If you feel that you are fainting, And you're almost out of breath, Do not feel the least bit worried, For the towel will save from death Vllhen the game is most exciting, And your face is wet as sop, You will find the towel most useful Just to use it as a mop. Some might think the towel repulsive, Germs might. in its folds exist, But for accidents and bruises Not a boy can it resist. For no matter what the ailment, That old towel will make it right, And you 'll soon be sound and happy, In the thickest. of the fight. THE WRTGHTONIAN-PHILADELPHIAN GIRLS' BASKETBALL GAME The Philadelphians regained the athletic supremacy of the gymnasium when they Won the girls' basketball contest with a score of 26 to 12. Both teams played good team Work and were well supported by their societies. The VVrightonians had a seven point lead as a result of the girls' hockey game and the boys' basketball game. The fourteen point lead made by the girls' basketball game gave the championship to the Philadelphian society. THE WRTGHTONIAN-PHILADELPHIAN HOCKEY GAME The second annual hockey game played by the girls of the Wrightonian and Philadelphian societies was won by the Philadelphian girls With a score of 1 .to 0. The game was a very close one, both teams doing fine Work. The only score of the game was made during the last few seconds of playing when the ball Was sent across the line by the Philadelphians, giving them the lead with one point.

U. for a. number of years. At iirst there were a few grass courts only. As these proved inadequate, a clay court was built. south of the main building. Gradually more and better courts with up-to-date equipment have been added so that now forty players can be accommodated. Altho the present war conditions have affected every phase of our school activities, we have had this year an active and enthusiastic group of nearly one hundred players. The officers for the year 1917-18 were the following: presi- dent, M. J. Holmes, vice-president, R. H. Linkinsg secretary and treasurer, Estelle Yewellg ground committee, Clarence VVesthoff, Frank Dickinson and Paul E. Le Marr, custodian, Frank Dickinson. These officers arranged for six games to be played with other schools during the spring term. There is no place where more friendship, harmony, and peace prevail than on the tennis grounds. Here, students and faculty meet and play as equals and friends. LENA SADLER- S1Sgh'd and loolf'cl, and s1Tglz,'d again. EMMA SCOTT-Autlzorflty on camp cookery.

Miss Luella Custer read a poem written by herself for the occasion. The stanzas of the poem were read to music and the other senior girls joined with Miss Custer in singing the chorus. President Felmley expressed his thanks in a few characteristic and ap- preciative words. The ceremony ended with the singing of Normal Loyalty by the entire school. To Our President We have come to bring you greeting, Upon this your natal day, Tender you congratulations, And to show you in some way That our love for you continues, That it deepens every year, As We come to know you better In associations near. Chorus :- Bringing birthday greetings, Many birthday greetings, Though the buds won 't last alway Their message will. In the years remaining You 'll ne 'er be complaining Of the friends that you have made In the days gone by. Oh, we cannot but respect you For your qualities of mind, For your ever helpful counsel, And your many deeds so kind. You are teaching us a lesson By your true and upright life, That will be to us a blessing In our worlds of care and strife. These sweet roses that We 're bringing Are in number sixty-oneg May you pass yet many milestones Ere you face life 's setting sun. 'Tis to you we bring these rose buds, Not the institution here, 'Tis to you the class of eighteen Sings once more this song of cheer. FRANK ZIMMEZEMAN- Oh these pictures!

One of our Cockney lads, more of a patriot than a linguist, looked at this for a moment and then niiade a big sign of his own, which he raised on a stick. It read: O VVe got mittens, too! An lrishman on a strike, passing a second-hand book store, saw a card in the window reading: Diokens' VVorks-This NVeek For Six Dollars. The dirty Saab, said Mike. Anything but a smileless day. Oh Say, Can You? Oh, say, can you sing from the start to the end, VVhat so proudly you stand for when orchestras play itg XVhen the whole congregation, in voices that blend, Strike up the grand hymn and then torture and slay it? How they bellow and shout when they 're first starting out, But 'ithe dawn 's early light finds them floundering about, 'Tis The Star Spangled Banner they're trying to sing, But they don 't know the words of the precious old thing. Hark! The Htwilight's last gleaming has some of them stopped, But the valiant survivors press forward serenely To the ramparts we watched, where some others are dropped, And the loss of the leaders is manifest keenly. Then the rocket 's red glare gives the bravest a scare, And there 's few left to face the bombs bursting in air,'! 'Tis a thin line of heroes that manage to save The last of the verse and the home of the brave. CRob, Morris Bulletinj 144 ,if If I I ' f . V! f I Xei + N XX ' I x ?

Of course it isn't our own fault- We haven't had a chanceg Our teachers were not physicists So we could not advance. We do not know the rudiments Of science or of artsg We cannot tell the reason why An engine stops or starts. He finds each immature gang That's cruelly to him sent Don 't even know the average weight Of a common elephant! Such ignorance of vital points Does make him rave and rareg He wonders how we spend our time- VVe must just sit and stare. He claims we don lt. know '4nothin Nor did our dads before, Nor will our sons and grandsons,- Even they will know no more. So we repeat, he's wondrous, For of our feeble minds He moulds a mind that really falls For some stuff that it finds. -D. o., '13, A PHYSICS SHARK Mr. Kuderna Cexplaining telegraphb : The current is sent from the bat- teries at one station thru the ground to the receiving station, and then the eur- rent, chooses the path of easiest resistance and returns thru the ground, and comes up to the first batteries again.

Ineidentally she did not know that electric currents have human in- telligenee. 159 INDEX 12' 1918 OUR REUNION Ohicago, Illinois, June 25, 1932. Dear Mr. Pringle: Vv'e were very sorry that you were unable to be present at our reunion, but I understand that your commencement exercises were held on the nights of our meeting. The Class of 1918 asked me to send you the results of our meeting. We held our reunion, beginning June 6th, for three days at the old school in Normal. My, how it has changed since I went there! VVhen I arrived in Normal I was met by Sturges Victor, the mayor, and Alice Porteriield and Pauline Palmer, two of his alderwomen. The meeting was called to order by Bernice Brown. Paul Packard was unable to be present, being at the time engaged in putting down a bill which purposed to abolish U. High. You know he is senator from our district. The roll was called, and it was found that practically every member was either pres- ent or accounted for. Wheii the roll was called each one gave his address and present occupation. Bernard Ambrose is a farmer living at his old home near Hudson, and has three boys whom he expects to send t-o U. High. Hazel Bachenheimer, the world- famous movie actress, was there, and she told us that Julius Blair was playing comedy leads in her c-ompany. Donald Johnston is one of the coming artists of today. He has just engaged the exclusive services of Victor Rheinhart, con- ceded by some to be the most dignified appearing man in America. Joe Bryant, Ivan Greene, and Eddie Stein are playing baseball with one of the Major Leagues. Perhaps you 've seen their names in the papers and wondered if they were our boys. Raymond Brown left his cigar store in charge of Ziebold. He said that he thought he was more important to the class than his clerk was. Eugene Funk, the prominent central Illinois farmer, came with his wife, formerly Eliza- beth Haley of our class, who is still as happy as ever. He told us that he had Forrest Quinn, Otto Luther, and Charlie Koerner working for him on his farm near Shirley. He is now busy as governor of Illinois. I suppose you have heard of Louie Fanselow. He is none other than the soldier-senator who is making such wonderful speeches in the United States' Senate. Arnold Beck- man, the chemist, who has made such startling discoveries the last few years, and Don Coen, the aerial railway magnate, who are working together trying to perfect an airplane which flies without fuel or wings, stopped work long enough to honor us with their presenec. Robert McCormick, who is company physician for Coen 's aerial railway, came with them but was called away during the first day by an accident. Perhaps I had better tell you some of the interesting things that happened at the meeting. Probably the most unusual thing that came off was Heinie Oapen's bursting into the meeting and offering to insure our lives, at cut rates, against any kind of accident. Then there was another surprise. IVakefield Boyer came in dressed in rags, just after his name had been called. and asked if there were any one who would give him some money to buy himself a suit of clothes. Of course we gave him the money, but first we wanted to know how he happened to be in this condition. He said that he had bummed all the way from Hong Kong on one of Coen 's aerial freights, and that it was some trip to make in one jump. ' The second morning of the meeting we were surprised to find the entrance to the campus blocked by a crowd. There, standing on the Fell Memorial Gate was Stanley Husted, trying to get some one to buy his 'fPremier Knife Sharpener, None Better or his own Patent lVindow Lock at the remarkable price of two for 35c. We asked him to join us in our meeting, and he agreed to do so if we would only try one of his knife sharpeners. He said that he had been 011 the go all the time and that he had had no extra money with which to 160 INDEX vb' 1918 buy a newspaper for the last three months, and f-or that reason had not heard of the reunion. Hoffman came down from his school for prize-fighters the second day, but refused to talk about his work. He did say, however, that he had tried prize- iighting as a profession, and that he was well on the road to success when he discovered that he was too loose-jointed to stay togetherg and that therefore he had started the school. VVesthoff, his head trainer came down with him and did the talking for Al. The Rev. Arthur Buck-world renowned evangelist and successor to Billy Sunday-was present, and acted as chaplain. I always think of those three together because they all played basketball way back in 1918. Gertrude WillJe1', Carolyn Miller, and Earl Harpster are members of the I. S. N. U. faculty. li.'arolyn Miller is in charge of the Domestic Science Depart- ment, and the report is that her lunches are even better than those we used to have back in 1918. Finley Morse is still in the army, but has risen to the rank of Lieutenant- General. He will be forced to retire next year. Now I have beeen telling mostly about the boys, so now I'm going to tell about the girls. I forgot to say when I mentioned Bernice Brown that she had married, but that she liked her own name so well that she always called herself Mrs. Bernice Brown. She was always fond of names beginning with UB. Of course many of the girls of our class have married and are living more or less happily. But they are just like so many other people that I think I'll not mention them. Probably you have seen the pictures of Mildred Sutherland on the front of magazines. She is an artist 's model now and is in New York. Lelia Sweeting is there doing the same kind of work. VVilma Goodwin has started a girls' school and has engaged as her mathe- matics teacher, Helen Cade. Miriam Lyon is teaching Physics for her, and Hazel Olsen and Irene Turner are in charge of the Domestic Science Department. Mabel and Exie Jones are running their farm at Mason City. They employ only women as help. Lately they have had Irene Quinn and Esther Shultz as hands, and Ruby Rapp as bookkeeper. Edith Hall went back to Texas as soon as she graduated and is still enjoying life down there. Gertrude and Margaret Schneider, formerly prominent in the IV. fl. T. U., but now out of a job since the whole world has gone dry, came down to find seine one to reform, and immediately pounced on 'Wakefield Boyer and tried to make him stop chewing gum, his only big vice. I almost forgot to tell you that just as were going to the train to leave Normal we saw an old man whose face looked familiar sweeping the street in front of the station store. VVhen we came nearer who was it but Ralph Emmert! VVe told him we were very sorry to see him in that menial position, but he said not to think that. He said that is what he tried to fit himself for at U. High. Well, Mr. Pringle, I think that I have told you of the more important happenings of our reunion, but if you want any more information about any of them, I shall be very glad to let you have it. Yours very truly. GEORGE P. DAvIs. P. S. If you want an electric airmobile, please write me. JUST A SENIOR'S PRAYER AT MIDNIGHT Now I lay me down to sleep: Do I pray the Lord my soul to keep?

Under his leadership the standard of the Work done on the platform Was maintained as it had been in former years. During the Winter term Paul Packard served as president. Little need be said about this president 's ability. He proved himself a Worthy executive. Arnold Beckman was chosen to occupy the president 's chair during the spring term. Although his term of office Was short, he carried on the Work of the society very successfully. When Mr. Beckman left school Ruby Rapp was elected to take his place. Kappa Rho has had very few girls as presidentsg nevertheless Miss Rapp executed the affairs of the society very successfully. During the year there occurred several social events Which showed the spirit of the organization. Several members were added, and these have the ability to heighten the record of Kappa Rho in the future. The success of the past year's work is due not only to the president's Work, but also to that of other officers and the various committees, and to the helpful cooperation of all members. The Whole society feels that the success that it attained Was due largely to the fact that Mr. Pringle, as advisor, aided in everyiway possible. 168 INDEX G' 1918 THE TA CHI Theta Chi, the youngest literary society in University High, is up to the highest standard. A great interest has been shown in the society and the programs. The society has gained headway by the helpful suggestions of Miss Barton, our critic. The roast which was held during the fall term at King's Mill, proved to be one of the best social events of the year. About twenty-five members gathered about the fire, while their hearts were filled with joy and happiness. After an enjoyable evening the party adjourned for a short tour through the country, before returning home. The next social event was held at Dorothy VVelch's during the Winter term. At this time a new pin was selected. Some of the members showed their skill by playing cards, others by dancing and eating pop corn balls. Flashlights were taken. George Davis was president during the fall term. He gave many good suggestions and had good control of the society. The winter term found Bernice Brown in the presidentls chair. She was one of the best presidents the society has ever known. Irene Quinn occupied the president's seat during the spring term and conducted the society in a very admirable way. 169 INDEX V9 1918 ALPHA SIGMA. V Alpha Sigma has maintained its usual high standard this year. The good work of the society has been due to several things. In the first place our presi- dents-Stanley Husted, in the fall termg Sturgiss Victor, the winter term, and Hazel Bachenheimer, the spring term-have been earnest in the discharge of their duties, it being a very uncommon thing to find one of them absent on Tues- day, the day our society always meets. Another reason for the unusually good work is that we have examined the rhetorical grades and scholarship of pros- pective members before admitting them to the society. And, lastly, the interest and enthusiasm of the members themselves have done much to promote the wel- fare of our literary ideals. Our program committee has also done very good work. Certain subjects, which have been followed throughout the yearis work, are as follows: Men and Wonieii of This 'Warg Modern Inventionsg Current Eventsg Men XVho Have Made Good in Some Industryg and Manufacturing Processes. This new kind of programs has made our meetings more uniform and interesting. 170 INDEX 29' 1918 ROSTRUM The year 1917-18 has beeen a very successful one for Rostrum. This suc- cess has been due, not only to the earnest efforts put forth by the officers, but also to the enthusiasm and interest of all the members. Alvin Hoffman occupied the presidential chair during the fall term. The meetings were conducted well and the same enthusiasm which made Rostrum so Successful in previous years was again shown. Henry Capen was the society's choice for president during the winter term. Altho small in stature he is mighty with his tongue, and his earnestness in the work did much to keep the fine record of the Rostrum from waning. At the end of the term Mr. Capen gave a dinner to the members of the Rostrum and all reported' a royal good time. The spring term opened under the leadership of Arnold Beckman, who car- ried out the purpose of the society very effectively. Altho the meetings con- tinued but four weeks during the spring term they were always up to standard. When the call for volunteer farm workers came, the Rostrum members felt, the need for them on the farm and most of them left: thus the society was dis- continued for the remaining eight weeeks of the term. Not too much can be said for our critic, Mr. Pringle, whose unwearying exertions have made Rostrum proud of him ever since its beginning. His un- tiring efforts for the past year are most highly appreciated by all Rostrum members. 171 Zena Orendorft' Cpianoj Ella Shields Fern Maurer INDEX Y5' 1918 w t . -Av-'W' , I -5 . ., 1 , . if 't - ....

At the beginning of the year the girls decided to have a real glee club, so they organized, with Dorothy NVelch as president and Elizabeth Haley as secretary and treasurer. The club enjoyed a movie party early in the fall term and had several other social affairs that let the school know there was at last a Girls' Glee Club possessing some pep. They appeared in public three times during the year, and were successful each time. ROLL.

There were a few from the club of '17, but most were new entries. This made the task of organizing and training extremely difficult, but under the diligent guiding hand of Mrs. Keleher an organization well worthy of its name was produced. The Club appeared in public several times, each time bringing new success to its name. Something new in the history of this organization was adopted, and that was an insignia. The boys remained faithful not only to their place but to their country, so owing to so many leaving to work on the farms or render service in the army, the Club was disbanded until next fall.

LIELOY, '19. 174 INDEX fa 1918 U-HIGH FOOTBALL At the beginning of the 1917 season, U-High was expected to have a fairly good team, but the team that was turned out far exceeded the most ardent hopes of its loyal followers by taking the championship of Central Illinois and ranking second to only one team in the state, outside of Cook County. By losing only one out of ten games while playing a championship schedule, the 1917 team made a most enviable record, and earned the right to go down in the annals of the school as the best team that ever represented the Green and Gold on the gridiron. The success of the team last fall was probably due to these two things: the efficiency and thoroughness of our coach, and the faithful earnestness of the squad. During the fall of 1916 Coach XVilliams made a record that would have been hard for any coach to live up to. NVith0ut question, however, Mr. VVilliams lived up to his reputation for good coaching and satisfying results. His care- ful training in the rules and technical points of the game, given the squad by one who knew and had played football, together with the thorough conditioning administered, developed a. team that played as a machine, working without in- dividual Hstarsf' The squad was composed of six veterans, a few second string men from 1916, and several new men. Around Captain George Coffey and the other old men there was soon built a team which remained nearly intact during the entire season. This team was given excellent practice by the game and loyal scrubs, who remained faithful through a long and tiresome season. The worth of these boys is shown by the first team is record. The old men played up to expectations and the team as a. whole played fine football, but several men, new to the first team, exceeded expectations. Men in this class are as follows: Quinn, center, Funk, fullback, Lawrence, halfback, and Gregory, halfbackg all of these played exceptional games for new men. The one thing that worried the squad from time to time was the lack of the seemingly deserved whole- hearted support of the entire school, which U. High was so famous for in days gone by. Our team warmed up rather slowly to a hot pace which started with the victory over Springfield. From then on, with but few let-ups, the boys kept up that pace which only the state champions could overcome. The Springfield and Peoria Manual games, together with the second Normal High game, stand out in the past season as those in which the team did its most wonderful work. The only defeat, suffered at the hands of Rockford in the championship game. was far from a disgrace. NVith all the breaks against her, U. High played a wonderfully gritty game against a team which could be compared only to a large college team. At the end of the season, Vvlilbur Lawrence was elected to captain the 1918 team. With him will be about four of this year 's men and several second team men. These will endeavor to build a duplicate of the 1917 team, which left the following brilliant record: U.

HIGH BA SKETBALL. The 1918 U. High Basketball team established such a glorious record that it will occupy for years to come a most prominent position among U. High 's many noteworthy achievements. It will be remembered as that wonderful aggrega- tion which made a record, giving it the standing of U. High 's best basketball team, and as that team which completed the most successful athletic year ever known in U. High history. A veteran squad answered the initial call for basketball, three men being regulars of the year before. The boys were just getting a good start when Coach lVIcDougle left to serve his country. This set the team back somewhat, but Mr. James, an experienced basketball man, came to the rescue and pro- ceeded to make up for lost time. Under his guidance the team began to im- prove steadily. This advancement was gradual and thorough, making an effi- cient and reliable machine, as was later demonstrated. The team lost out in the County Tournament by a narrow margin, landing in second place, but this only brought forth a vow to win the District. The boys did this without great difficulty, by playing a brand of ball far superior to that of any other team in the meet. This came as the result of a faithful month's work which started in earnest just after the County. During this time the team hit a stride that proved the undoing of many a worthy opponent. The tcam's performance in the State meet was remarkable. Playing a11 extremely difficult schedule against larger teams which represented schools many times the size of ours, the fellows took second place, and the honor of being generally con- ceded as putting up some of the best and gamcst basketball seen in a state tourna- ment for years. Although the team worked as a. unit, the players had outstand- ing charaeteristics. Westhoff, with his unlimited fight and fine passing, to- gether with Capen, a. clever, shifty man who performed consistently, made a pair of forwards not often to be cqualed. Captain Hoffman was a dependable man during the entire season. He outjumped most of his opponents, played an unusual defensive game, and could assist in floor work. Art Buck played as steady and reliable a game at guard as any member of the team. His work was not flashy, but he took a part in the season 's work which but few men could dupli- cate. The floor work and basket shooting of Pierce brought forth much favor- able comment. Howard Buck, Victor, and Evans were reliable utility men who helped U. High place high. At the end of this brilliant season, which has added two shields to the collection in the study hall, Bane Pierce was chosen to lead next year 's team. With him will be Howard Buck and Evans, who will help to make a team that we hope may continue in the footsteps of this Year team. .177 INDEX 'P' 1918 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE U. High U. High U. High ' U.

INDEX V9 1918 A LEISURE MOMENT lt was one Saturday night in May that I was standing alone before a small body of water watching it move slowly as the dim light shone on it, making the little ripples look like pretty colored rtripes. I hesitated a moment before plunging in. Suddenly I noticed a small white object bobbing up and down in the water as if it were going to sink at any moment. As I stood there watching this thing, I was greatly concerned, wondering if it would reach the other side or sink. It didn 't occur to me at the time to plunge in after it because I was fascinated in watching, to see if its fate were sink or swim. survive or perishfl Just for a little excitement I threw something at it to see if a slight dis- turbance in the water might cause it to sink. As the water splashed up, it com- pletely covered this interesting object. I watched so long that I thought it surely would not reappear, and on hearing a weird. sleepy sounding voice call to me to hurry, I turned to see if some one might be coming. Apparently no one was near, so all that was left for me to do was to dive in. As I turned to do so I noticed that the white object had come to the surface. The cake of ivory soap was hitting the side of the bathtub. IIIIRIAM EVANS, '19.

Not a star shone. The commanding officer had decided it was just the night for the surprise at- tack that he had long been planning.. Wo1'd had been passed down the line that it would begin at one-forty in the morning. It had been a quiet day on both lines, for little firing had been done. Aero- planes had been circling around overhead. Supplies had been brought in and every soldier had plenty of ammunition. New troops had just arrived that day and the commanding officer had decided to break them in by that night's attack. 1 At twelve o'clock all was quiet within the trench with the exception of an occasional sob from a homesick boy. Meanwhile the enemy had been stealthily advancing. Suddenly the com- manding officer felt their presence. He quickly passed the Whispered word down the line. This brought every man to his feet, and the scene Was one of alertness. Now the enemy was upon them! They must all do their best. They had no time to get their weapons, so prepared for a hand to hand struggle. Every soldier knew that this would be a hard fight, and when the connnanding officer called ' ' Charge ! each man took off his shirt and began the search for cooties.

We like you just because you 're Scotchg Because you joke and talk to usg We like the way you always say, Oh Bane, where were you yesterday? Or Boys, where are you due this hour? Don, were you at the station store? One day you got old Abie's goat- You saw him when he had his coat. A little book you always keep- A nienioranduni of the weekg When in your hand this book we see, We say, The Duke is after me. And when the study hall we skip Out coines the trusty waiting listg From then on welre straight awhile- We even are afraid to smile. One day in General Ex. you gave A talk on cigarettes so grave The K. S. B.'s all blushed with shame- Some others also did the same. In sunnncr we labor by the dayg At school you say we get high pay- In fact ten dollars and some cents ' We get for losing ignorance. And we know this-that you're our friend When to our studies we attendg And so, Pa Pringle, stop and shake, 'Cause this is all for friendship 's sake.

BUCK, Manager Hardware Agents for Hermetic Favorite Furnaces THE SUCCESS F TI-IE nnmnlnlnllm F R E E mnmnmnnul This is the book that we loan without charge to the staff of every publication for which we make the engrav- ings. We have a large depart- ment devoted exclusively to copperplate engraving and steel-die embossing. We can give you quality and service on your commencement invi- tation, fraternity stationery, visiting cards and any other work of this character. H D EX H it in no small measure due to the Quality of Stafford Engraving and the Character of Stafford Co-operation In making this statement, we have no desire to take any credit from the editorial staff- in fact we feel that it is all the more to their credit that they realized the superior quality of Stafford engravings and that they so thoroughly appreciated the value of Stafford co-operation. Years of specialization have made the Stafford organ- ization unusually expert in engraving and designing for col- lege and school publications. The most modern shop equip- ment gives us every facility for prompt production of quality etchings, halftones and color plates. Stafford halftones are made by the famous Levy acid- blast process, which gives a cleaner, deeper and sharper etch than the tub method generally used. Sam les with rices on re- quest p p Printers like Stafford plates because it makes it easier for them to give you a first-class job. The Stafford hand-book, Engraving for College and School Publications, containing 164 pages and over 300 illustrations, gives valuable suggestions for planning your publication, pre- paring copy and ordering engravings. It prevents costly mistakes and assures you of highest quality engravings at lowest cost. We do not sell this book-we merely lend it without charge to the staff of each publication for which we make the engravings. In addition to the general assistance of this hand-book, we give you also our direct and individual co-operation. Stajbrd engravings and Stafjfhrd ro-operation will help to arsure the .fucceu of any rollrge or srlzool publiration STAFFORD ENGRAVING COMPANY Artists, Designers, Engravers Century Building INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 199 wr-p W' ' H ml U Ain, v ' 's I 'H- A 1 ' , . u 1 , l.'. 44 1 .1 . f. an Y . . i ' . 1 f ' . .
