Memories Our Campus Through the Seasons ln September when the days grew short and winds were blowing cool, Qur campus bloomed with students who were coming back to school. The g.rass was green as summertime, the trees their leaves displayed As the sunset shadows longer grew and the west began to fade. Then the artist autumn changed the scene and added colors gay- The leaves wore brown and red and gold til the wind coaxed them away Next came the drizzling, dripping rain and autumn wind so shrill, Dark gray was all the campus then and al. the world was chill. The first few flakes of fluffy snow were welcomed with a shout But soon were gone, as brilliantly, the lorcly sun came out. So near to Yuletide, yet each day persistec bright and clear, And still the snow was lacking us when C1ristmas came last year. Yet just five days till boding clouds the solemn news foretold The coming of the snowstorm in the way the poet told. All night, all day, the snow fell fast, till very deep it grew, To add his bit in drifts and heaps, the strong northwest wind blew. So winter passed. Then came the spring and when the soft sweet air Just spoke a whisper to the trees, why lol the buds were there. The' gentle rains sang to the ground and out there came to hear The gayest blades of soft green grass that ever did appear. So beauteous was our campus when the birds came back to sing: A common theme their songs all held: There's joy in everything. The leaping Howers just yawned and stretched and smiled up at the sun The joyous ecstasy we felt said, Life has just begun. So as the spring approached its height our year came to an end, And we said in our hearts a silent prayer that might to Heaven ascend, NIay the beauties of life that our Campus can give H7 Make us eager to teach them, and more ht to live? 11 September T!lI'I'l' is no royal road on rryistraiion day,' TM' 1 rfs!1n1f'n scarrd Io Jfaill, tln' Srrziorx xiaid, Tin' noisy S0f7,l0I7l0l't'5, ffm Jzzniorx unafraid, .Ill wgfistfr' ff11'111.w!fw's flu' saznv, ,rlofw fway, For 1'ln'rf's no royal road on l't'ffi.ff!'llfi071 day.

Q1 u1vw' 3LQ'FfTc W, 51 The Senior Class lX'fo1'C than ninety students found endurance during the school year of 1927-28 to finish four years of labor in collegiate circles and become eligible for their Bachelor of Education degree. As usual the Seniors found opportunities to participate in all types of extra-curricular activities. Christian E. Harpster proved to be probably the outstanding member of the class in his numerous oilices, work on the Daily Ptzizlagrafili, and participation in the oratory contests, state, inter-state, and national. E. H. Vtfinegarner and S. B. Sullivan were outstanding public speak- ers. XYilbur Hoffman received the first blanket for four years' participation in football. Claire McCreight received an equal honor on the track squad. Amelia Qekel was voted the most popular girl in school in the annual INDEX contest. Lyle Dawson was the fourth man elected to preside over the class. Claire McCreight as vice-president, Doris Xlfhitehouse as secretary, Basil Zink as treasurer, Claire McCreight as Student Council representative, and Lewis Brown as athletic board member, completed the corps of officers. The class showed itself to be more modern than the preceding Senior groups and soon after the winter term, dazzled the remainderiof the school with bright red jackets as special insignia of their high place. It is the sin- cere hope of the Senior class that future classes will adopt the practice as a feature of their closing year. For the past several weeks the Seniors have cooperated with the Sopho- mores in the preparation of The Enemy by Channing Pollock, as the annual play. The cast included the following Seniors: Goldie Baker, Mary Parrish, Mildred Lierman, Claire McCreight, Harry Fry, Mark Mooney, and Don- ald Bohyer. t This record would be deficient without a public recognition of the work of Elmer Vtfarren Cavins, who served as sponsor for the class throughout its existence. Mr. Cavins was selected four years ago to advise a large group of Freshmen and has seen the class grow smaller until only a few remain. These few, who come to know him well, will never forget the good work he accomplished in a position he had never before held. 52 DAWSON, LYLE RAMSAY, President Normal C'll'7 7 lCl0lli7ll K Thesis Topic: A Study of Methods of Conduct- ing the Recitatioii in First Year Chemistry.

S, N. U. proved during the year their ability to lead the school during 1928-29. Miss lflizabeth Ashford won the high honors for her class in the winning of nrst prize in the National lfssay contest. Howard White, as editor of the lNDEX, spent the year in hard work in an attempt to produce a worthwhile object besides assisting with the University High school football and track squads and participating on the university track team. Mark Mooney came to the front as a reader in the Edwards Medal contest. Marian Dean aside from heavy duties on the INDEX staff successfully portrayed the leading char- acter of the Hieronymus play with Merton Haltz as her leading man, also a Junior. Maurice Graff succeeded in securing a position on the basketball squad and then almost disrupted it by contracting the mumps. Mush was one of the standbys on the baseball squad this season. Mark Mooney was early selected as president of the Junior Class and has been a capable leader. His assistants were H. Oliver Ellison, vice-president, Ora Zehren, secretary: Marian Dean, treasurer, Howard VVhite, member of Student Council, and Maurice Graff, member of Athletic Board. Pro- fessor W. A. L. Beyer served the year as sponsor of the class. A successful presentation of the junior-Freshman play was given in March when the members of the class were praised for their line work. Bur- ton Yount and Frank W'eller both took parts in this play, The VVhite- headed Boy. Few of the Juniors will leave at the end of this year to enter other activi- ties, but for the majority of the group the best year of their college careers face them. It will be for them to set the standards of the school. Wliile they will be the smallest class in the institution their greater experience and earnest- ness in their work will put them in the places of responsibility in Normal university, which will mean honest endeavor of the group to make the school worthy of praise in lllinois. 70 ....-mu-.L ,-...

The class had an enrollment of 467, the women of course, in the majority with 3QO out of the 467, leaving the men just 77. The class to a great extent owes its achievements and perfect organi- zation to its able corps of oflicers. Byron Hallam, President, was also busi- ness manager of our T928 Index. Esther French, also on the 1928 Index Staff and an active Physical Ed. Girl, was Vice President. The secretary, Kathryn King, has won fame thru her readings. jack Hurliman, football captain and a candidate for most popular man in I. S. N. U. was treasurer. The Stu- d.ent Council representative, Gwne Marsh, was also a member of the Index staff and was elected Editor of the Index for 1928-'29. The Sophomore class had a dance March 28 in the old castle and gave a program in Gen. Ex. during the spring term. These two activities were well planned by Burton Carlock and Edith Taylor who were Social chair- man and Program Chairman. I The rings for the class were slightly changed in design this year. It is believed that they were very satisfactory to all. The invitations were similar to those of previous years. The chairman of the ring and invitation com- mittee was Doris Batterton. Oh yes, the Sophomore class is very proud to have in its rank the most popular man in school. VVells Ryan, of course you all knew him.

The Freshman class of 1 2'-28 was the largest beffinnino' class to be formed X m Zn S in any of the State Normal Schools of Illinois, having a total of zoo more than the Southern Illinois Normal University which ranked second. A 3 The Freshmen claim the usual high number of participants in the affairs of the student group. Early in the fall some of the outstanding names on the campus were Kingery, Raymond, Seybert, Bryan, Kerstein, Hattenhauer, LeFevre, Crawford, Lash, all of which appeared in connection with the foot- ball team. As the weather grew colder Zook, Dunk, Steelsmith, Rowe, and Hanson were names added to the above as hardwood performers. The youngsters were also well represented in the Phil-Vlfright contest in the per- sons of K. Turner, R. Rasmussen in debate, and L. Singley in extemporane- ous speaking. Clarence Miller was a line opponent of two Seniors in the A. Livingston cup contest and Virginia Long did excellent work in The Beg- gar on Horseback. Homer Mechling was all alone when he was elected to the presidency of the Freshman Class. His sister officers were D. Bristline, vice-presidentg K. Reeves, secretaryg H. March, treasurerg and D. Frutiger, member of the Student Council. A large number of Freshmen attended the annual class party held on April 23 in Felmley gymnasium. Games. dancing and cards provided the en- tertainment and the party was one of the best unifying agencies of the year. At the end of this year a large number of classmen will leave and never return, but for those, who remain, three more years of hard work are in store. The successful enterprises that have been carried through this year bring be- lief that they will carry on the good work. 102 OIHHQMS 103 E 1 1 w 104 I f r 1 105 E v 1 106 ' V 107 108 J a 109 ' 1 1 E 110 ! ! 5 1 x I 1 111 ' 2 I x 113 - ! 114 1 . 1' Y 'rf 1 x ,: J, lr. f ..,,u I N A. vp..

Wimfefr Term S1,7'l ifl1'Q Term CHRISTIAN HAIIPSTER LEWIS BROWN GEORGE BENJAMIN Varsity Club Almost a decade ago the Varsity Club with Mr. Ralph H. Linkins as sponsor was organized with unanimous approval from the faculty. The pur- pose of the Varsity Club is to provide for the social and moral welfare of the members and promote good fellowship among the members, to make the school spirit of the University the most wholesome and most attractive for all the students, to put forth every effort to increase theattendance at the Univer- sityg and, to promote the best form of athletics at the Illinois State Normal University. The club has been very fortunate in the choice of presidents and in its sponsor. The presidents this school year were Christian Harpster, Lewis Brown, and George Benjamin. Among the activities sponsored by the club are some of the best dances held on the campus., A most artistic stunt show, banquets for homecomers and for those who have represented the school, the Christmas service, and the Mother's Day service. In the Hobo parade at Homecoming the Varsity Club has taken part each year. , The club has attempted to cooperate with the other organizations of the campus in carrying through their plans for campus activities. Accomplishment of the best for all has been the slogan, the spirit of which the Varsity Club men have attempted to exemplify. 120 Dances Sponsored by the Varsity Club ln carrying through the program for a wholesome and abundant social life on the campus the Varsity Club has sponsored attractive All-School Parties throughout the year. All of these have been well attended and greatly enjoyed. Mellow lights, golden flowers, palms, music and delicious ice cream with red V. C. in the center combined with the spirit of festivity made the fall term dance of the Varsity Club, which was held at Fell Hall on November 12, 1927, one of the outstanding events of the year. The Varsity Club winter term dance was held in Ensenberger's Spanish Garden on February 18, IQZS. During the spring term the Varsity Club was host at the Annual Dinner Dance. iThe legend tells that,- Once upon a time, long, long ago. when spring had come, the Spirit of the Maplewood bade the youth of the land to a merry-making in its domain. Here the youth from the realm ofthe Great Tower whose four radiant faces have long gleamed brightly all through the night, assembled with their fair maidens. The gay folk dinedg they dancedg and everywhere the soft whisperings of cordial welcome from the Spirit of the Maplewood showered from the stately trees upon the guests. 121 Varsity Club Week End Varsity Club week end has always been one of the high points in the spring program of the Varsity Club. This year proved to be no exception to the rule. On Friday evening, May II, 1928, the annual Varsity Club Stunt show took place. Through the very hearty cooperation of the various campus organizations, the Club was enabled to present one of the best shows in many years. The Mother's Day service was held in the Auditorium on Sunday, May 13, 1928. This is an annual occurrence and was as line as usual. Many par- ents of the students were in attendance at this service. Picnic Dance l In honor of the track and baseball men a picnic dance was given at Maple- wood Country Club on June I, 1928. The track and baseball men who had trained hard during the season were awarded the official N of I. S. N. U. After the picnic the evening was spent dancing to the music furnished by Gofortlrs Black and Gold Orchestra. 122 The University Christmas Service The Varsity Club again sponsored the Christmas Service on Sunday afternoon, December II, in the University Auditorium. Une was greeted by the spirit of Christmas at the very entrance to the Auditorium. The stage was banked with evergreens whose boughs were thickly hung with icicles, snow and Christmas lights. Other festive Christmas trees of varying sizes were arched to the front of the platform and formed a glistening foreground through which the Christmas service came. At the front of the stage and to the center was the pulpit, concealed by evergreen boughs. Raphael's Sistine Madonna stood before the pulpit partially concealed by the Christmas greens, over which the lights of three tall tapers, emblematic of the Holy Trinity, cast a flickering glow. To bind the Auditorium into a unity of Christmas spirit, the balcony rail was hung with holly wreaths through which Christmas lights shone forth. The Christmas spirit radiated from the Madonna to the farthest corners of the Assembly Hall. ln this setting Mrs. blames Reeder opened the service with the prelude of traditional Christmas carols, the Reverend Dr. Archer offered the invocation, the Reverend Dr. Durden read the Christmas Story. The quartet, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Admire, Mrs. Ramseyer and Mr. Miller, sang from off-stage Christmas chants between the various episodes of the Christmas Story and later on-stage, sang Christmas anthems, many of which were traditional melo- dies. In this setting the Reverend Dr. Durden delivered a never-to-be-forgot- ten Christmas sermon. The sun's radiance faded into twilight, the glow of the Christmas lights cast an increased reverence about the closing service. The benediction was pronounced, the last words of Holy Night drifted away. The audience reluctantly departed, turning often for another glimpse at the setting of the second all University Christmas Service. 123 W, , ,ei . 5, f WWE Pep Band The Pep Band of I. S. N. U. has been an important organization on our campus for several years. This year it boasts of a larger enrollment than ever and with the uniforms furnished by the Homecoming Committee it has be- come a very attractive body of musicians. The Pep Band has played for all important athletic contests on the campus, especially during Homecoming. It played at the dedication of the new Normal Community High School and accompanied the football team to Macomb which was made possible by the Varsity Club. The band displayed a splendid school spirit during the first State Normal School Basket Ball Tournament. The band owes an immense debt to Miss Cooper who was its faculty advisor and who gave unselhshly of her time. energy and services at all times. 124 wllvllflw I I I !Q'NEE:::'::::'.::.

September sees bevies of girls trouping in Of every description-short, tall, fat and thin. Xxfvltll fear and with trembling the maidens draw near, But they leave with much sorrow at the end of the year. You should observe at ten-thirty each night How promptly is switched off each students bright light Should this rule be broken, a knock at the door Xllarns the maiden that the proctor is there evermore. There are popular girls with the men hovering round XVhere e'er these girls go the men will be found. A phone rings-then see how they rush down the hall Vllhen the oflice girl sweetly says, You have a call. Un Saturday everyone yells for the sweeper, llluch sweeping and dusting take place on that day 'Til the dust and the dirt are quite driven away. Un Saturday pancakes, on Friday souille, On XVednesday it's ice cream, and Tuesday's soup day. The kitchenette suppers are like a good dream, They're sure to bring pickles as well as ice cream. One man all watch for, and hail with delight ls the mailman who comes both morning and night. The unlucky hope each time luck will be better, But find just a bill or a thick business letter. And what's the events most important of all? Vtlliy, the dazzling dances they have at Fell Hall. The beautiful dresses, the programs, the men, The rush and excitement which ne'er comes again. At house meetings everyone sits very still To hear the announcements, and vote with a will. The president whose name is Vivian Berry Is versatile, capable, jolly and merry.

LILLIAN B.xR'I'oN The VVomen's League of I. S. N. U. started the year I9.z7-28 by appoint- ing upper-class counsellors for the Freshmen girls. This made many contacts among the students and helped many new girls in the problems of adjustment. At the first Forum meeting in September the history and purpose of the organization was explained before the women of the school. Plans were also announced for the completion of the district system. Mrs. R. E. Hieronymus of Urbana spoke on citizenship work to the girls of the Central Board at a meeting held the latter part of Qctober. In November the League sent delegates to the state convention of the Illinois League of VVomen Voters held at Peoria. Then in April delegates were sent to the national convention at Chicago. C The VVomen's League and Varsity Club sponsored their annual all-school dance in the Felmley Gymnasium during the fall term. On the Saturday afternoon prior to the holiday vacation the girls held a Christmas party in the Old Castle. There was a Christmas tree with presents for all, and Old Santa spent the afternoon with the girls. During the following week the traditional program of Christmas carols was given on the organ in the auditorium. Dur- ing the winter term the all-girls party was held in the Old Castle.

BROOKS BISHOP ADAMS BATTERTON The Women's League has no room where meeting may be conducted, where social activities on a small scale may be held, or where informal lectures or addresses may be given. The women of I. S. N. U. have had no club room or social hall. For the past two years the Women's League has been planning and working for a realization of this dream. The league desires a room where about two hundred fifty people could be accommodated, and with a kitchenette, to be used for a social gathering. Such a room is had in many smaller colleges, Bradley, for example. This social hall could be used by other campus organizations. Looking forward to the establishment of such a room, the Women's League has invested in several pieces of furniture, and they hope to add to this from year to year. It is the earnest desire of many I. S. N. U. women, and especially the upper classwomen that with the erection of our new Science building, a room on the campus will be given over to the Wo1nen's League for the establishing of a social hall. 133 PETTIT POLLARD PONVER ' The Wrightonian Literary Society P-rastdcvlft . . . . . . . . . .

JEFFREY POWER MLTRIEL BENNETT RUTH THOMSON FORREST COCKRELL DOROTHY GARRETT The live coal of Wright spirit needed little tending during the summer of IQ27, and burst into a brisk flame in September when Wright spirits in the shape of substantial workers returned from their vacations. When chief stoker, Ida Pettit, thrust some of her carefully laid plans into the Wright', furnace the very air of I. S. N. U. became purple and gold. From the very minute that Wrights began to walkthe streets of Nor- mal in their return in the early autumn, to the last goodbye on commencement day, plans were made for Wright, Not Only were plans made but they were faithfully executed. Very early were the ranks of the society gone through to glean out material for a winning lot of contestants. Carefully were many tried out, and at last the choice was made. Unanimously Wrightonians stood back of their chosen people and put up the biggest show of loyalty the school has ever witnessed. The literary contest, she lost with good grace to her rival, remembering that continued victories tend to demoralize theqwinner and 134 discourage the loser. Wfrightonia will be out again next year with her lighting spirit to Hy her colors from the Hag pole on the old I. S. N. U. Defeat did not discourage her. On the evening following the contest the group was en- tertained with a dinner at the home of the sponsor, Miss Dorothy Garret, who so faithfully stood by VVrightonia in every task undertaken. Recognizing the sterling worth of one of its fairest daughters, XVrightonia chose for its leader during the winter term Miss Ruth Pollard. The programs of the term were characterized by the spirit of work and earnest endeavor. VVe all look with just pride upon the record made by Vlfrightonia this year. The VVrightonians have made their society stand for something in the life of the school. As usual, she furnished her quota of the debaters, and the staffs of literary publications. The Vlfrightonian Society won the first Inter-Society track meet which was held this year. The score of the meet was 672 to 5626. This year the members of Vlfrightonia felt that we should have a pin, and so after much discussion a design was selected and orders made. The good old ship is as sound as ever, and with the purple and gold fly- ing from the mast is ready for next year's cruise.

Wfork for the contest was started early in the fall, each mem- ber goaded on to his Hnest efforts by the characteristic never say die spirit of our sponsor, Professor George Palmer. The president, Mark Mooney, co- operated faithfully with the members and sponsor, in an endeavor to bring about the desired goal, and his policy has been adhered to by his successor, Maurice Graff. The Phil-Wright contest held the evening of January I3 was the fourth consecutive victory in favor of Philadelphia. The score ranked five to two. Representatives of the winning team were: Catherine Turner, Ruth Sage, debatersg Samuel Sullivan, Extenaporeg Christian Harpster, orator, Vivian Jolley, reader, Grace E. Green, vocalist, and Thelma Goldman, pianist. Philadelphia likewise covered herself with glory in all the big literary events of the year. Vivian Jolley, reader, and Christian Harpster, orator, took first places in the Edwards Medal Contest,,while Samuel Sullivan ranked as winner of extempore in the Livingston Cup Contest. Elizabeth M. Ashford, another active Phil, won Hrst prize in the VVorld Peace Essay Contest. Philadelphia demonstrated her superiority in brawn as well as brain this year, for the basket-ball tussles with VVrightonia brought us victory in both the boys' and girls' teams. . 136 Jw, Philadelphian Banquet The annual Philadelphian banquet, held at the lllinois Hotel February 6, brought together many Hold-timer and happy memories.

Index StaH The initial undertaking of the 1927-28 INDEX Staff was the publishing of I. S. N. Ufs hrst Student Directory. It differs from those of other schools in that it is a combination of a handbook and directory. This year's INDEX is financed on a new basis. According to the plan adopted by the student body, advertising is abolished, and a considerable por- tion of the necessary linance is appropriated from the student fund. Although this new plan may not be perfect, it is. nevertheless, an improvement. Howard IfVhite, Editor of the '28 INDEX, was elected President of the Illinois College Annual Association, which will hold its meeting at I. S. N.

The purpose of the club is to bring the students into a closer fellowship with each other and to strengthen their faith in and loyalty to the church. Meetings are held once a month. Parties are also enjoyed. A Hal- loween party was held at the Y. VV. C. A. at Bloomington. lt was a masquer- ade partv and interesting games were played, also delicious refreshments were served. On December I4 a Christmas party was held at the home of Rev. Hed- strom, Pastor of the First English Lutheran Church in Bloomington. Rev. and Mrs. Hedstrom had a lovely tree and refreshments for us. Wfe also de- lighted in exchanging gifts. The club was also faithful in contributing to a fund which was given to a poor and disabled man in Chicago.

ADAMS The Young Men's Christian Association was re-organized at I. S. N. U. in the winter of 1925 and 1926. Since this time, Professor H. VV. Adams has served the organization well in the capacity of Sponsor. During the spring of 1927 Messrs. Donald Tarvin and Gerald T. Rey- nolds attended an officers' conference held in the Y. M. C. A. College at Chicago. At that time local situations and plans for the ensuing year were discussed. The meeting was a large one, men from a large number of the various universities of the state being present. The purpose of the Y. M. C. A. on this campus is to give to the men of the school a fuller understanding of the sins and duties of the Christian Life. Men belonging to this organization are trained in such a way as to be cap- able of organizing and leading Hi-Y clubs in the various high schools of the state. Such training is useful, and is to be desired by all men wishing a well- rounded college education. It has been the intention of the Y. M. C. A. to bring here during the present school year some of the best speakers obtainable. Members of the I. S. N. U. faculty, as well as outside men, have spoken at various meetings this year. Some of the most outstanding of the good things heard at these meetings were Dr. Ernest Mammen's lecture on China, Professor L. W. Hacker's lecture on The Origin of Man, and Professor Adam's discus- sion of The Place of Religion in Modern Life. 147 L--.Aw w. V- .W N . ,A .W , Y. W. C. A., The Y. VV. C.

The year's work has been quite successful. About thirty young men and women have had active experience in the field of intercollegiate debating. The men's team accepted an invitation to debate with the University of Illi- nois. The last debate of the year was a very formal occasion, when repre- sentatives of I. S. N. U. met the representatives from the University of Manila in the Philippine Islands, on the question of the independence of the Philippine Islands. The annual contests-the Edwards Medal Contests and the Livingston Cup Contests-were held as usual. Christian I-Iarpster and Ruth Pollard represented the Normal University in the State Inter-Collegiate Oratorical contest. Normal University participated in the contest between the Teach- ers' colleges which was held at Macomb. During spring vacation a group of young people represented Old Normal at the Pi Kappa Delta convention held at Tiflin, Ohio. The debaters were Walker Wyinan, Basil Zink, Samuel Sullivan, E. H. VVinegarner, Edith Benjamin, Reba I-Iugenberger, Mildred Lierman, and Clara VVhitiield. The orators were Ruth Pollard and C. E. I-Iarpster. The faculty members of the Qratorical Board are Prof. F. S. Sorrenson and Miss Verna Grubbs. The Student members are Clara VVhit1'ield, Presi- dentg Marian Dean, Secretary, and Robert Traughber, Treasurer. The Oratorical Board appreciated the cooperation of Pi Kappa Delta and Dr. Felmley which it has enjoyed during the year. 151 Apportiionment Board Yes, we are just what the name implies. If your organization doesn't get enough money from the Student Activity Fund, it is our fault-or per- haps your fault for not seeing to it that we thoroughly understand your needs, and your ability to properly use such appropriations as we make. The one phase of the work we have been most concerned with this year has been the financing of the ulNDEX.H Although our plan was not adopted by you, we feel repaid for our efforts since it caused the adoption of a plan which has proven to be much better than the former plan. VVhen we met in Mr. Felmley's office in September, the student mem- bers felt small indeed, but with Mr. Felmley, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Buzzard to outline the work we soon fell in line and the apportionments were speedily taken care of. We have been proud to serve you in our capacity and hope you have been satisfied with our distributions. 152 l1. The Athletic Board of Control The Athletic Board of Control is the representative body of the University which has the power to exercise complete control over the men's intercollegi- ate and intramural athletics. The faculty is represented upon the board by six membersg the Dean of Men, the Athletic Director, the Head Coach and three others selected at large by the President. The students are represented by six members, two from the Freshmen, two from the Sophomore, one from the Juniors and one from the Seniors. The officers are chairman, secretary and treasurer. All expenditures which are made by the Athletic Director and Coach must be approved by the board. The board awards letters to the varsity men and disciplines any who are guilty of not conforming with the rules. Schedules are approx ed by the board and all special questions per- taining to athletics are decided by that body. Each student representative has one vote and they are urged by the faculty members to take an active part in the meetings. The faculty members this year were: Mr. Linkins Mr. Cogdal Mr, Hudelson Mr. Horton Mr. Holmes Mr. Beyer The student members were: Douglas Traughber Henry Beach 'lack Mooney Maurice Graff Arthur Hill Harris Dean The officers were: Clzairmafz . . ...C E.

This year a new plan was adopted of devoting the first half of the year to talks, upon topics of vital interest in the physical educa- tion world, by the majors themselvesg and the last half of the year to prac- tice work such as the making of posters, the constructing of archery equip- ment, and the making of camp programs. Although the Physical Education Club is a Professional Club, several social functions were held. A gypsy party was given for the Freshmeng a Weiner roast was held on the south campusg at homecoming a breakfast for the homecomersg and Alice Carl- son entertained vvith a tarfy pull. Best of all, a week-end at Camp Lantz gave us real experience in camping. 154 Physical Education The year of 1927-'28 has been full of events for the P.E. Majors. This group has been known over the campus as a happy bunch. The close contact that the girls have makes them the kind of a group that every member of the curriculum truly knows every other member. The club put on two General Exercise programs in April. They in- cluded pyramids, Qsuch as the one shown belowj by the upper classmen, two French dances-Hjibi di, Jibi da and On the Bridge of Avignonl' by the freshmen, two American Country dances- john Brown and The Circle by the sophomores, and four clogs- Sleep, Doxie, Swinging,', and Pollywolly Doodle by a group of sophomore majors. Two new subjects were added this year to the PE. curriculumg namely, Teaching Process and School Management. The time will soon come when a four year physical education curriculum for women will be in every real Normal school.

At Homecoming time we entered the Hobo Parade, and held our annual luncheon at the Village lnn, A Cos- tume Dance was given on Halloween night in the Old Castle. During Novem- ber a Studio Party was held in the Pottery rooms of the Library. At Xmas time each of us designed a linoleum block which was used to make Xmas cards and Professor Staples gave a Xmas party at his home for the Art Club members and associates. During the winter term we gave our attention to Life Study under the supervision of Professor Staples, Miss Allen and Miss Bryant. ln the Spring term we cleaned and refmished the statues for study that were used in the Art Department. Last spring the Club won the first prize in the Stunt Show and plans are now being made for entering the Stunt Show this year. 156 The Manual Arts Club l92.7fl9Z8 F1111 Term Winter' Term Slll i'llfj1 Term President . . .......... .LAWRENCE E.

In the fall term, the activities of the Manual Arts Club were marked by a business meeting and radio party at the home of Mr. A. VV. Dragoo and participation in the Homecoming Hobo Parade, in which the Manual Arts Club won honorable mention. ln the winter term the Manual Arts Club maintained an intramural basketball team which fared well in the tournament, and heard two speakers from Bloomington High School talk on Automobile Mechanics and Other Senior College Courses Proposed at I. S. N. U. Plans for outside speakers and social events for the spring term were being made at the time this page went to press. The principal work of this Club during the past year was to boost plans for a senior-college course in the Manual Arts curriculum. It also spon- sored a weekly column in the Vidette through the year. This column is called the Song of the Saws. 157 Home Economics Club Pmsifleiit . . . . . .. .RUTH HENSCHEN Vine-Presideoif . . .. . . .Donomu GORDON Sf C'I'l'ffl'l'1l-TF!IISIIIYI' . . . . .

ADIXIIRE The Commerce Club is the largest organization on the campus. It has been unusually active this year because of the competency of the officers of the club. The hrst event of the year was the re-election of officers for this year, which was followed by the initiation. The initiation proved to be a huge success, each new member becoming acquainted with each old member. The initiation was held in the Old Castle, the home of the Commerce Club, and all the new members were made familiar with the hidden rooms of the building. The meetings of the Commerce Club are always well attended, because very informational knowledge is acquired from talks given by prominent business men. The Commerce Club program was one of the best given dur- ing the school year. The Commerce Club members feel that they are very fortunate in hav- ing Mr. Admire as their sponsor again this year. His popularity with the student body and faculty members, his untiring efforts to further the work 159 of the Commerce Department, and his interest in the success of this organi zation and its individual members, have made him the friend and counsellor of ex ery member of the Commerce Club.

Look us over, here's our picture-yep! That's all of us. VVe don't do much. but what we do they Qyouj say is done well-so we're repaid for our eltorts. We bring all the hoboes we can find together twice a yearg you know they need to assemble in order that every one may know just who they are, what they are, and why. The Hobo Parade is our annual Homecoming for the clans-when their thoughts as well as ours are turning-we arrange a barn dance for them. Twice a year we call all the Smith-Hughes High School Agriculture boys to Normal for a judging contest. In the winter we hold a seed-judg- ing event, and in the spring we let them judge various breeds of live-stock. We have well over one hundred boys as our guests at each of those events. VVe are so well pleased with such affairs that the club presents two silver loving cups, one in each event, to the winner of a division. Oh yes, dear reader, lest you forget, we are the proud protegees of Clyde W.

Regular program meetings of the organization are held on Thursday evenings at 7 o'clock on the odd-numbered weeks of each school term with the exception that any one meeting of the term so designated may be made a social meeting. 7 -b ' C - Cv lt is the purpose of the organization to offer to its members opportunities to study and discuss problems and topics in mathematics for which there is no time offered in the regular classes of the school. The opportunity is also given to keep abreast of the present movements and accomplishments in the held of mathematics and to consider topics beyond the scope of the present cur- riculum. Then too, there are the benefits derived by social and professional contact with those interested in mathematics. During the year many interesting and instructive programs have been presented. Two enjoyable social meetings were held when Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Mills and Miss Mildred Lierman entertained the Euclidean Circle. The members of the organization wish to thank the faculty members of the mathematics department for their helpful assistance and cooperation in forming the organization and in making the year's work a success. Their sponsorship has been appreciated. 165 Prf.91'denT Ill!!! '-Prff'.S Sf'U'Pff1l'y T'I'f'llSIl rm' Hponsvr . Nature Study Club . . . . . . . . . . VERA S.xKm1II,I,E11 !'IIf . . . . .

The purpose of this organi- zation as stated in the constitution is, to cultivate an appreciation of and a permanent interest in nature. The activities of the club this year began with a party. Wie had planned to have a tramp but the weather man prohibited that. At the first regular meeting many new members were voted into the club. The club had a breakfast at Homecoming. Fifty present and former members were present at this breakfast and at the short program which fol- lowed. The reminescences of former club members who were present and the letters from others unable to attend were especially interesting. Cnr regular meetings this year have been very entertaining and in- structive. Mr. Felmley gave a most interesting talk on his trip to Arizona. Mr. Decker gave an illustrated lecture on the Land of Evangeline. Mr. Brigham gave a fine talk on Some Phases of Nature Study of Interest to Country Schools. Miss Patterson repeated her talk on Nature Study in Illinois which she gave before the American Nature Study Society at Nash- ville, Tennessee. 166 Consul Senior . Cons-117 Jumfor ..

The membership, which originally numbered ninety, is now about sixty. Miss Irene Bansau was chosen accompanist, and Edna Squires Barthelman, as librarian. Ernest Cheever was elected president of the organization. The members met twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays, in Room 33, to rehearse the songs for the three public concerts given during the year. A secular concert was given each of the first two terms of the year, while a group of sacred numbers were presented the evening of Baccalaureate Sunday. The members of the Choral Club are all deeply grateful to Professor Westhoff for the new conceptions of music which he has brought them. Pro- fessor Westhoff is a man not only of rare musical ability, but also one of an unusually attractive personality. 175 Womenls Glee Club The x'M0l1l6lllS Glee Club nf l. S. N.

Elizabeth Ashford took the first prize of seventy-tive dollarsg Annis Clark, the second prize, fifty dollars, and Verna Guthoff the third prize of twenty-tive dollars. This contest, which includes all the teacher training schools, is conducted by the American School Citizenship League. The purpose of the league is to promote International Good Will, and it has been attempting this for the last eighteen years. The title of the essay was 'fThe Teacher as an Agent for International Good Will.

From the neighboring fields Came the squeaking of wheels As the farmer boy whistled a tune, Till the clock in the tower Had resounded the hour That his stomach announced to be noon.

OMER SPITZER. Epitaphs Union, let's go to bed. Gee whiz! You can sit up all night and all the thanks you get is a trip to the Dean. No bed for me yet. I gotta write a theme. Don't dare to go to the Dean or I might get a one way ticket. XVhat're you going to write about? f'Guess I'll write on tombstones. u Sure, that's an easy job. All they put on 'em any more is, 'In loving Memoryf Don't need any originality there. Q Thanks, for the compliment. Gee, I'm sleepy. Guess I'll go to bed and get up early in the mornin'. This was the not very elegant but quite intelligent conversation of ordi- nary students, which took place between my roommate and me. Soon the lights were out and we were in bed. Not having any theme to ponder over, my roommate was soon breathing as Mr. Admire says you should when you sing, and I knew that Morpheus had found her. The window was wide open and the snowy curtains kept blowing in my face. I tucked them back so that I could better see the moon. All at once I was aware that someone, all dressed in white, was coming in through the open window. Cold, clammy chills began to chase colder, clammier, chillier chills up and down my spine. I tried to call my roommate, but found that the sound stuck in my throat. My scalp twitched and I knew that my hair was reaching for the ceiling. I began to sweat, but was partly reassured when the being spoke in a sad voice. I understand, it said, that you are going to write epitaphs. I am the delegate of the people who live in the cemetery and I have come to help you. I am not going to write epitaphs. I'm just going to write a theme about them, I managed to get out between chattering teeth. That is good, continued my night visitor. Perhaps you can interest other people in the writing of epitaphs, for there is a great need for epitaphs which really describe the person. For many nights I have had the toothache. I have wandered all over the cemetery in search of Dr. John Brown. I have found .Iohn Brown, the baker, John Brown, the plumber, .Iohn Brown, the dairyman, but not the john Brown I was looking for. Their tombstones and epitaphs were all alike. There was only one way in which I could lind if Dr. Brown dwelt below, but when I knocked at their stony doors, they were quite 182 angry and threatened to call up the police. Now if on Dr. Browns tombstone these words had been carved, I would not have made this mistake: 'Strangerl Approach this spot with Gravity, -Iohn Brown is filling his last Cavityf One jolly old gentleman makes a nightly pilgrimage to the cemetery in Search of the ghost of his friend who made such excellent home brew, but who forgot to tell him who would serve him after his death. How much satisfac- tion that old man would get if his friend's epitaph were similar to the one on the monument of the Landlord of the Lion whose 'Son keeps on the business still' Or perhaps it would have been better if on his friend's stone this warn- ing had been carved : 'Here lies poor Burton. He was both Hale and Stout, Death laid him on his bitter bier. Now in Another Worlrgl he hops aboutf just a word of warning before I go. You American people are rushing through life breaking every law of health and order. It would be wise if you'd stop a moment and let the wisdom of these epitaphs soak in. 'In Memory of Moratz Graph, Who died of Cholera Morbus Caused by eating Green fruit, In the certain hope of a blessed Immortality. Reader, go thou and do likewise' Or i 'Here lies Uncle Peter Daniels VV ho, in the early month of May, Took off his winter flannelsf Of course some old epitaphs have set a bad precedent which many law- breakers are following. Such a one is: I Sacred to the memory of Major blames Bush, Royal Artillery, who was killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol by his orderly, 14th April 1831. VVell done, good and faithful servantf In choosing your epitaphs try to be individual. Of course on making an epitaph for a friend you cannot always tell what changes will take place in the course of time. I once knew a man who was heart-broken when his wife died. Wishing to put something on her stone that would tell the world how much he missed her, he had these words carved: 'The light of my life has gone out.' 183 But in course of time he found another wife. Now wife number two did not approve of wife number one's epitaph, So to keep peace in the fam- ily he had these words added : 'But I found another Match., Another individual epitaph is the one for the singer: 'Death clogged this flute At its highest note, Song sleeps here mute In this breathless throatf Une on a lovely lady is: 'A creature slender as a reed, And sad-eyed as a doe, Lies here, but take my word for it, And do not pry belowf A very appropriate one for a mouthy woman is: 'God and the devil still are wrangling Vyfhich shall have her, which repel: God wants no discord in I-Ieaven, Satan has enough in hellf Now I have explained the need and use of epitaphsg it is up tob- Br-r-r-, Br-r-r-r- W'hat was that? VVas it the ghost rattling his bones? No, it was only the alarm clock. VVhat's the matter with you? You have been staring at that window curtain ever since I woke up and you wouldn't answer me. Are you batty? asked my roommate. i Not at all, I've just been having a chat with a ghost. Don't talk to me until I get my ghostly information down for I'm going to use it in my theme. VVhi1e I was writing Iheard my roommate explaining that I wasn't to be disturbed for I was slightly unbalanced, not dangerous, and she felt that I would soon be all right. 184 The Saturday Night Date Saturday night is date night at I. S. N. U. That is the time when all the gallant young men of our school step out into society. Various dates may be had throughout the week, show dates and library dates, but here is always the fear of retribution if we neglect our studies. Then too, we must get in early. Hence a week date cannot compare with a date on flzc night of the week, Saturday. VVhy not Friday night instead of Saturday? Oh, for vari- ous reasons. VVe have school shows to attend, and one thing and another to do, but by Saturday night we are free from our tasks. A day of work or leisure by ourselves has made us long for the companionship of the other sex. Hence, we are in the right psychological mood, and we must have a date. The time, of course, is appropriate. All school parties and dances of any note take place on Saturday night. Thus we are in the mood for dating, we have the place to go, and if we have sufficient funds, we proceed to iind the girl. Now this question of VVho to date P is an important one. Individual tastes differ of course. And if gentlemen prefer blondes, there are always the college boys. Consequently, the dated defy description because of their variety. If the youth is wise he will already have his date, he will have se- cured it in the early part of the week, in fact. He knew he would want a date Saturday night, and being foresighted, secured a date with the only girl before someone else took the opportunity. However, if such occasion arises that the college youth is dateless and Saturday night is almost upon him, he does not despair, he merely picks up his Student Directory and calls a few girl friends. He knows that girls far outnumber the boys in this school. Hence, it is mathematically impossible for all girls to be dated on one night. So, if he is persistent in his use of the phone and not too particular as to whom he dates he will, sooner or later, secure his date. Now comes the preparation for this momentous event. First, he must shave, whether he needs it or not, college men all shave, then there is the preparation in the bath-room, he must paste down his glistening hair until not one hair is out of place. And so on, till he eventually makes his careful toilet, and miracle of all miracles, he accomplishes this in a short time, in a bath-room full of boys, who also are dated. Not once does he lose his temper! The spirit of the occasion forbids any such temperamental outbreaks even though his roommate has appropriated his best tie, and someone has taken his shoe-brush. His toilet completed, our youth gets out his best suit, brushes it carefully, and proceeds to dress. There is much rushing around to secure missing shirts, shoes, or sox, but at last, half an hour before the appointed time, he is ready: Shoes shined, hair brushed, powdered and manicured. He 185 surveys himself front and back, in the mirror, and approves of the result. He is ready. Why does time drag so slowly? Finally, after spending a few minutes in conversation with his friends he goes to the door, steps out upon the street, and, slowly with dignity, makes his way up the street. The answer to a maiden's prayer! Our youth whiles his surplus time away chatting with the boys on the corner or down by the Station Store. Then, as the appointed time draws near, he leaves the group and seeks the house of the chosen one. With heightened color and increased pulse rate, he rings the door bell, calls for his date, and lo and behold! She trips lightly down the stairs, a vision of loveliness! In a daze our youth makes the conventional remarks and a moment later finds him- self on the street. She is beside him! The fresh air partially revives him and he begins to enjoy his date. Let us now leave him. Wliat does it matter whether he goes to a show or a dance? The essential thing is the date with his inamorate. He is on top of the world now. Perhaps tomorrow he will cast accounts and reckon values. But just now, nothing else matters. He is enjoying himself on the best night of the week, soon he will have to buckle down to study for another five days, but now he believes in that old proverb, Live while you may. The Campus Clock The Campus Clock like a monarch stands Viewing his vast domain To northward, southward, east and west He views the whole terrain. He calls, throughout the night and day, The creeping hours that slowly passg He shares the students work and play, He urges onward lad and lass. Many are they who have viewed his face And heard his loud voice call, Haste-ning the tardy on their way, Cheering and comforting all. On a Clear, silent night his voice is heard far And his face can also be seen As he sits up there, all by himself, A King without a Queen. Oh! the wonderful sights that he must see As he sits up there so tall- The campus, the stars, the town, the sky, When peace is over all. The campus clock is a mighty god, A ruler over men. He tells us when to work and play, And when the elasses end. And as we leave I. S. N. U. To go our different ways We 'll always remember the campus clock And over give him our praise. Agnes Shipley. 186 Men and Spring Tennyson has said, In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, and a wit has changed this to read, To what a young woman has been thinking about all winter. If anyone cares to dispute this statement, let him visit a university campus when the first warm zephyrs begin to stir the new green leaves. jack strolls out of Chemistry Lab., stops to take a deep breath and thank the gods that one more day is a part of his past and ambles down the walk. He is utterly unaware that anything unusual is about to take place. The breezes trail soft fingers over his cheeks and whisper mysterious nothings in his ear, a robin trills hilariously from the top of a snow-white pear tree, and the teasing odor of lilacs is wafted to him. Mistress Spring has begun her work, he feels new life in his veins, and he begins to look around. There comes Molly, nice girl Molly, deuced pretty too, strange he'd never noticed it before, and she'd been in his Ancient History class all winter. love! wonder if she would go for a walk with me? It is no harm to ask her anyway. I-Iello Molly ! Same to you .lack Y QGood grief, the boy has finally noticed me after all these months.

Arm in arm they saunter down the by- ways and sit under the blossoming trees. Take a book and hie yourself to your favorite haunt. They have found it, remote as you thought it to be. But let love reign, Autumn will come and your haunts will again be empty, until spring returns to aid in turning the young man's thoughts to love instead of football. 187 The Absentakfllinded Professor The Freshmen had been waiting in the class-room for some twenty min- utes, when they heard heavy footsteps taking the steps three at a time. They knew instantly who it was, for this tardiness was not an unusual offense. A dead silence fell over the room for they were taking no chances on the pro- fessor's attitude, especially on this day of all days-final exam day. Noses were immediately put into their books. The professor, entering in a great Hurry of excitement, threw his books on his desk and heaved a sigh that seemed to come from the very bottom of his shoes. In dashing across the room to hang up his coat he tripped on his shoe string which he had neglected to tie. He regained his equilibrium and started to assort the books which he had thrown in a pile on his desk. Hunt as he would, he failed to find Greene's Foundations of American Nationality. Oh, yes, here it is on my desk. I remember, I didn't take it home last night, he remarked in a half subdued tone. After adjusting his glasses at the correct angle on his nose and placing the seat chart before him, he started to proceed. Miss Hayes, when was the Constitutional Convention held? July 4, I776.,! Very well. W'hat noted characters attended this Convention 7' There was an exchange of sur Jrised and bewildered glances among the Q b n W ' D Q u Z3 students. Evidently there was something wrong. Mr. Jenkins discovered that it was exam day. XVith great haste he shuflied through a stock of papers which he had taken from his drawer. W'hen he had looked through about half the pile, he set it down. He seemed to be looking for something else. My glasses! My glasses! VVhere are they? he queried with much concern. In all the confusion, embarrassment, and excitement, his spectacles had slipped down from their unusual position on his nose. He lifted his hand to his eyes and found his glasses. After further investigation of the papers it occurred to him that he had not made out the questions. The bell rang! Take the next chapter tomorrow! he shouted after the students when they were half way out of the room. Doesn't that beat the Dutch ? one fellow said to his friend at his side. yVell, I guess! You never know when or what to study for that bird. I bet I could count on the lingers of my one hand the number of times he came to class completely prepared to teach. If it wasn't one thing forgotten it was another, was the reply. And then to cap it all off-to assign the next chapter for tomorrow when we've finished the book and this was the last day. He'd forget to come in out of the rain! 188 A View of ll.. S. N. U., CWVith apologies to Thomas Grayj The great clock tolls the knell of parting day, The tired learners go their separate ways, Their pedagogucs to duties bid farewell- And leave the dear, old campus all to me. Now fades the shimmering landscape on the sight Dim views are now enshrouded by the night But out there on the campus, vision sees Those glorious shapes of many kinds of trees. Across the scene the castle, overgrown, With clinging vines and leaves, by breezes blown Reminds us of the pleasing tales of old Of castles, knights, and famous leaders bold. The muffled whistling of the wind in glee Causes such dreams and pleasant thoughts to Hee Then as one hypnotized, my eyes I raise To that bright tower, which peals its song of praise. Its lights cast murky shadow forms which dart From Metcalf building to the Manual Art. Then across the portico and windows plain VVhieh decorate the front of our Old Main. The lights of Felmley gym whose fame is great If one harks to applause from games of late Flash out in twilight and at eventide The twinkling gleam of Fell Hall, sits beside. The last but not the least in plainest guise XYhose shape is least discernible in this scene The grand, old Library, whose gables rise Above the Metcalf arehway long and plain. I. S. N. U. to thee I wish great glory Success and hopes fuliilled to be thy story And may all others seeing you thus by night Do so with this same feeling of delight. VILLA PARKER 189 The Library Attendant Funk and Vtfagnalls say that an attendant is one who waits upon or ac- companies, or one who visits or is present at. So that the word will suit my purpose, I shall think of it in the latter sense. The title, then, may be inter- preted as The Library Visitor. It may refer to both boy and girl, but I shall. consider only the stronger of the sexes at this time. Seated at a table just east of the head of the stairs, I see all who enter and all who depart. There are those who come with the desire and sincere intention to study, those who come to waste their time in trying to study, and those whose reasons for coming have nothing at all to do with studying. Here comes a boy who belongs to the last of the groups just mentioned. My! how slick and prim he looks. He has on a stunning tan spring suit that looks as though it were fresh from the suit box. His shoes beam with an amateur shine. Beneath his open coat I see a neat looking tan sweater bordered around the neck and bottom with a green stripe. A rainbow-colored tie gives the necessary finishing touch. His clean, smooth looking pink face tells me that a shave has recently been administered, and the whiskerless produce lightly brushed with talcum. His hatless head is crowned with a rather short crop of black, wavy hair fthe answer to many a maiden's prayerj well parted on the left side. He enters empty handed. After looking about and halting at the head of the stairs long enough to announce silently, VVell, girls, I am here, he goes to the newspaper rack, gets a paper and sits down in one of the chairs on the east side of the stairs. Before reading it he looks about him to see what QI should say who j can be seen. His eyes stop their survey. I fol- low the path of his stare and find that the object of admiration is a cute- looking girl who is trying to decide which literature book she should use. She decides on one and takes her seat at a table on my left near the east windows. She finally notices him and gives him a sweet mile. He begins to pretend to read, casting his eyes in the direction of the busy person near the window as he nosily turns the pages. Having read the paper in an enviably short time he returns it to its place on the rack and saunters slowly to the geography shelf. He chooses a book and rapidly turns the pages while his eyes are fixed hope- fully on the girl. He puts the hook back in its place, hesitates, then walks over to the girl and asks her a question which is answered by a nod of assent and a smile. He gets another paper and takes the seat he previously occupied. Soon the girl brings forth her compact from her coat pocket and gives her nose a few light pats with the puff. After the library books have been returned to their proper places she wraps her black cloth coat tightly around her slender body and pauses at the top of the stairs until the neat-looking piece of mas- culinity joins her. Together, arm in arm they go, unconscious of the fact that they are being observed. The visitor has become one who accompanies. There are many others of this type. They may be seen at the library any night, similarly dressed and going through the same actions-coming in as attendants in the latter sense and going out as the same in the former sense. 190 Romance-l9Z8 Model Moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you. -lune light discloses beautiful thoughts so true. This is true in youth's mad rush for romance and excitement provided the moonlight falls on some beshrubled bench at the country club or on the veranda of any club-house, or better yet in a new sport model Chrysler spin- ning along at top speed between here and there. lt doesn't matter much where just so it's on its way. And the roses breathe romance only if the bestower bought them at the most fashionable florist shop in town. But to reckon with the memories is quite another affair. They run some- what like this: twenty gallons of gas three dollars and sixty-four cents, one new tire thirty-eight dollars and fifty cents, two dinners seven dollars, two dozen roses eight dollars, movies two dollars and eighty-five cents, five hours wasted, been nowhere, curt goodnight. Yes, moonlight and roses bring ex- pensive memories of her. Now, from the Happer: fairly good sport, good meal ticket, knows his onions, I'll go again till something better shows up attitude, .... l'm sleepy oh .... why bother about him now P she yawned and went to bed. Morning dawns. The alarm goes off. There must be something wrong with the clock, the hands go around so fast. In the office everyone is a grouch. It seems everyone must have been out late last night. Noon finds the young dandy lunching on a hamburger. No appetite is the excuse on the surface, spent too much last night is the real reason. Three days pass and he must see his wonderful girl of romance. Moon light and roses -yes, she shall have both, and moonshine too, if she wants it. You only live once, he mused. He picked up the telephone and called the girl of his latest infatuation. VVould she consider a little dinner and a dance? She had a terrible headache but since it was he, oh she'd try to be cheerful-just for him. But in her mind she figured-one more big feed, big bank roll, pretty good catch, my cap is set. Eight o'clock found them lingering over the empty glasses. He was gazing at her longingly, deciding how best to declare his love. She rolled 191 her eyes and cast roguish glances at a fellow at another table. I-Ie misunder- stood the look and began gravely. I don't have much but I guess Dad won't care because he has plenty of dough. Yes, she cooed, let's see-you have a wealthy dad, a Chrysler roadster, you're clever, dear, you dress well-yes-can we honeymoon at Long Beach ? Anywhere for you, dear-will you really? Then it's a Ho-I can stand it that long I Guess. You Cfet the license 15 b bf 6 in the morning while I see my lawyer-you know, in case we can't get along.

Goodbye-I'll meet you at the courthouse in the morning at eleven o'clock. Moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you.

The University Theatre staff serves as a guiding and controlling body for this organization. The play season of 1927-'28 opened on the I. S. N. U. campus with The Bride, a three act mystery comedy. It was presented at Homecoming. The house was packed both nights. Because of the mystery and comedy ele- ments throughout the play, it was especially suitable for the tired Homecom- ing crowd. The acting was so nearly professional that it set a high standard for the rest of the season. Beggar on Horseback was given on January 20, sponsored by Theta Alpha Phi and -Testers. Because of its quality a second performance was demanded by the student body. The outstanding features of this play were its staging and lighting. lcebound, sponsored by the Hieronymus Club, was the bill on March I6. Une of the chief reasons for producing this play was to show the student body a play that may well be produced in rural communities. The Freshman-Junior play, The VVhiteheaded Boy, by Lennox Robin- son, added a touch of Irish humor to the season. This play was the bill on March 29. The last play of the season was produced during commencement week by the Sophomore and Senior classes. Channing Pollock's, The Enemy, had just enough pathos in it to make it a memorable production for both the audience and the actors.

Pi Kappa Delta is an honorary forensic fraternity for debating and pub- lic speaking work. This year the Homecoming banquet was held at the Normal Methodist Church, October twenty-hrst, and there were twenty-eight members and alumni present. The National Pi Kappa Delta convention was held this year at Tiffin, Ohio, and Illinois Eta Chapter sent ten contestants and one voting delegate. Although our representatives did not bring home any first places, we are very proud of them and the work they did for our fraternity. Our delegates were Reba Hugenberger, Mildred Lierman, Edith Benjamin, Ruth Pollard, Clara Whitfield, E. L. Winegarner, S. B. Sullivan, Basil Zink and Walker Vtfyman, who although they did not win a place, had the distinction of being the only debate team to defeat the National Champions, Chris Harpster who placed fifth in oratory, and last Miss Esther Vinson voting delegate. V The pledge and initiation services will be held the eighth and ninth weeks of the spring term, and at this time eighteen new members will be taken in. Pi Kappa Delta deeply mourns the death of Mr. M. R. Staker, sponsor of the fraternity. VVe, as probably no other organization on the campus, realize the great loss the school has suffered. 203 Womenls Debate Club Furl!

Each term the lNflen's and XVon1en's Debate Clubs have had a joint debate. In the fall term the question of Resolved, that social fraternities and sororities should be permitted in state teacher's colleges was upheld by Theresa Steven- son and Blanche Davis. The negative. was upheld by Melvin Monson and Thomas Barton. The negative was given the decision. ln the winter term the question of Resolved, that the U. S. government should recognize the government of soviet Russia was upheld on the nega- tive side by Verna Guthorf and Amelia Oekel.

S. N. U. who had an active interest in inter-collegiate debating were enrolled in the advanced debating class which was organized during the winter term. The class was composed mostly of new women, but a few veterans with debate experience were there, eager for the forensic combat. Professors Sorrenson and Kinneman had charge of the class. The work in debate class was a thorough study of the inter-collegiate debate question, Resolved, that the federal Government should conscript sufficient wealth and prohts to pay the current expenses of a war. Briefs were prepared and discussed, and speeches presenting both sides of the question, were written. I. S. N. U. gave this valuable training to a larger group of women than ever before. Several debates were given as programs at community clubs, and they were received very favorably. Inter-collegiate debates were held with Eureka, Monmouth, Bradley, North Central and Augustana Colleges. Several of these debates were non-decisions, being held in accordance with the newer type of debate work. Sixteen young women received many benefits from this work under the direct supervision of the coaches. The members of the debate squads were: Viola Schmitz, Theresa Stevenson, Goldie Baker, Velma Horn, Edna Johnson, Ruth Pollard, Mildred Lierman, Reba Hugenberger, Verna Gut- hoff, Blanche Davis, Clara Whitfield, Ruth Parrish, Mary Higgins, and Opal Rich. 205 The Menfs Debate Club F071 Trrm 1'l'r .s17cYr1zt, . . . . . FAHRELL Coomza lV'lIllF'l' Trrm Spring Tcrnz THOMAS BARTON NATHAN IXIOHAR Four years ago there was founded on this campus an organization es- tablished on the principle that men could benefit in agreeing to disagree on any of the questions of general interest. This was to be one organization for men only, so that all arguments could be given freely and with some audacity. This group chose to call itself The Men's Debate Club. Since that time the club has followed the practice of having selected ones of its members argue formally on Tuesday evenings. These arguments were usually followed by criticisms, suggestions and the like from the sponsor. In the fall term the officers were Farrell Cooper, president, and Irwin Parrill, secretary. In the winter term Tom Barton took Mr. Cooper's place at the helm of our little canoe as we headed on for better debating. About once each term the ladies' and men's debate clubs have a joint meeting so that the men may prove their natural superiority as debaters. And say, folks, this Mr. john Kinniman from Pennsylvania has been our sponsor since Mr. Harper left last fall. 206 Men's Interfffollegiate Debate The 1928 season was a big season for the men interested in debating. Eighteen men enrolled in the advanced debating class for the winter term, and of this number the majority saw service in one or more intercollegiate contests. The coaches of the various schools decided not to compete for a championship this year, and as a result many of the debates were non-deci- sion battles. So while we cannot boast a conference championship, we do feel that the season was a good one. The high spots of the year were the debates with the University of Illi- nois, the National Pi Kappa Delta tournament at Tiffin, Ohio, and the debate with the University of the Philippines. While there was no decision at the University of Illinois, those who heard the debate felt that the quality of the I. S. N. U. work was not inferior to that of Illinois. The men who went to Tiffin to debate were Walker Wyman, Basil Zink, E. H. Winegarner, and S. B. Sullivan. The record made there was not note- worthy, but it is worthy of mention that Saint Thomas who won the national championship, suffered its only defeat at the hands of Wyman and Zink, and the Hastings, Nebraska, team who eliminated Winegarner and Sullivan, suc- cessfully battled fourteen rounds to win second place. In the dual meets the negative team won decisions over Illinois College and Macomb, and the affirmative team lost a decision to Macomb. All the other dual contests were non-decision. The men who participated in at least one debate were Brooks Wiles, Wells Ryan, William Young, Thomas Barton, Walker Wyman, Wilbur Hoffman, Christian Harpster, E. H. Winegarner, Basil Zink, and S. B. Sullivan. 207 PhilippinefNormal Debate The outstanding event of the year in inter-collegiate debating for the men's debate teams was the clash with the men's 'debate team from the Law school of the University of the Philippines, of Manila, Philippine Islands. This forensic feature was held at the Normal university auditorium Sunday night, April 29, before an audience of nearly 1,ooo people. Churches of Normal dis- missed their regular Sunday evening services and joined forces for a union service at the university auditorium in order to allow all members of the con- gregations to hear the debate. The Normal university men, pictured above, who met the Philippine team were E. H. Winegarner, S. B. Sullivan and C. F. Harpster. They were coached for the debate by Prof. F. S. Sorrenson and Prof. john A. Kinneman. The Philippine team was composed of Teodoro Evangelista, Pedro Camus and jacinta Borja, with their coach, Prof. Carlos P. Romulo, head of the de- partment of English of the University of the Philippines and editor of the Manila Tribune. Deogracias Puyat, alternate debater, completed the Philip- pine group. H The Philippine debaters complimented the local debaters on their ex- cellency of debating classing them with the University of Iowa, and Leland Stanford University of California as one of the three best University teams met on their recent tour of the United States. An audience decision taken at the close of the debate easily awarded the decision to the Philippine team by a majority of about four to one. The Philippine team left Normal for Miami university, at Oxford, Ohio, and from there they went to Harvard, Bates college and Princeton and then sailed for England, where they debated Oxford university, then to Aberdeen, Scotland, where they met the University of Scotland and late in june to Madrid, Spain, where a debate in Spanish was held with the University of Madrid. From here the Filipinos continued their journey around the world and home again late in the summer. , 208 -y - 1 4. ry' . wi- ,- 'X , f 1 . --, ,'- - . 1 I ,h Q1 Kia' K, . f . f L V -X.

This was a great step for all departments and gave the entire school The Training school, formerly operat- ing in our present Library, moved to its new home, The Thomas Metcalf school in 1914. The Model school had expanded and assumed the proportions and activi- ties of an ordinary graded school.

High and Pontiac. At eight o'clock in the evening President Felmley gave an address of welcome in the auditorium, preceding the Homecoming play The Bride given under the auspices of Theta Alpha Phi and jesters. This play was repeated Saturday night with a change of cast. Both Friday and Saturday nights the Homecomers found enjoyment at the party and dance at the Felmley Gym. Saturday opened very successfully with the Southern breakfast in the Manual Arts dining room, and continued just as successfully thru the Hobo parade. The parade was a great success this year. Many and more varied entries were seen than have been for some time. The Kindergarten Club were very realistic in depicting the Hobo Homecoming, which won them first prize. The Ag. Club carried away second prize with the old settlers in their covered wagon. The Home Ec. Club followed third with their display of styles of 1857 and 1927 in their 70th anniversary. The Manual Arts Club and Rural Education Club received honorable mention. The entire parade was of a superior quality. The spirit of loyalty was stimulated to a great degree by the offer of prizes for the best decorated houses. The red and white of Old Normal mingled with the purple and gold of Eureka made the town a very delightful .place for Homecomers. Immediately after the Hobo Parade, at II :oo o'clock, a tree was planted at the N. W. corner of Fell Hall, to perpetuate the memory of Charles L. Capen, President of the Normal School Board for many years who died May 21, 1927. A fitting program, by intimate friends of Mr. Capen and students of the school, was given during the planting of the hard maple tree. Thus was honor given him who gave so many years of love and service to the welfare of our institution. Saturday afternoon at 2 230 the I. S. N. U. Athletic field was the scene of the most gala event of Homecoming the Normal-Eureka football game. Here again the old Normal spirit showed up in triumph, sending Eureka home with the smallest part of a 25-2 score. Fell Hall was, at 8:30 the scene of many true Homecomings in its anniversary reception. Alumni from seventy years back met and enjoyed themselvelsfin true Normal fashion. Hundreds who had not visited the gym. on Friday night, partook of her hospitality on Saturday night while others were delighted with The Bride. 213 Homecoming 5, A-HW ,ft I ,ft i fx J' 2 -- . wwifi s ' SPIRIT OF I.

The Methodist Church was the gathering place for all Kindergarten Club members at 12230 for luncheon. The Primary Teachers Club held a delightful luncheon in the Thomas Metcalf building at I :oo o'clock. At I2 200 o'clock the Art Club gave their Homecoming party at the Vil- lage Inn. Miss Barton welcomed all women to a W'omen's League reception in her office at I :30-2 :00 o'clock. At 5 :30 P. M. the Varsity men banqueted in the play room of the Thomas Metcalf School. The Homecomers had a very delightful time with the Stu- dent Varsity men. ' VVhile the Varsity Club banquet was in session, three other organizations were enjoying what to them was a very important feature of Homecoming. The Fell Hall honor residents held a very delightful dinner at the Hall at 5 :30 P. M.

G. Buz- zard, as instructor, and Miss Eleanor Flagg, as chaperone, were enabled to study the geography of the Eastern United States and Canada in the held. It was the Maiden Trip East, although a held trip of lllinois was offered the previous year. The party not only included those who were vitally interested in geogra- phy, but those who were economically, historically, and biologically minded. But there was much to be gained from such study no matter from what par- ticular angle one approached it. The adventure came at the very time of year when the sweltering days of late July and early August discourage the ordinary study within the four walls of a school room. The ever changing scenes and temperatures were conducive to study, and our minds were on the alert to catch the hrst glimpse of something different and to record it in our notebooks. The little held daisies that sprinkle the verdure of Gettysburg spoke an eloquent sermong Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia, seemed to echo the very whispers of Vlfashington and Leeg peaceful Mt. Vernon high up from the banks of the Potomac had a soothing breeze constantly playing around itg Arlington Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier that guarded momentarily by another soldierg Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorialg the New National Museumg the Old Liberty Belly Valley Forge in the beauty of its simplicity told a story of intense suffering and patriotismg the Statue of Libertyg Plymouth Rock and all of the events that centered around itg real ocean fishing and a typical New England breakfast at Bostong the majestic Niagara that plunges constantly onward with a terrific forceg and Detroit and Lindbergh were some of the choicest varieties of changes that were experienced on this trip. The mere mention of any one of these causes a tripper to have very specific emotions. The entire trip was envigorating. Then the fact that when an acceptable report was submitted each person received two credits made it a most desirable one for the average college student. 220 x I , 221 GO fx 'N 'Rgnell ,.L.....r.l.

Horton, our athletic director and base ball coach, this year in- creased the scope of intra-mural athletics. More men are receiving the bene- fit of athletic competition. The tumbling classes furnished entertainment dur- ing the basket ball season, under the direction of Mr. Horton. It is due to the efforts of Mr. Horton that Normal's system of intra-inural athletics is becoming so widely known. Also the athletic equipment is being increased and kept in excellent condition under his care. J. T. Cogdal, our football, basket ball, and track coach is finishing his nrst year at Normal. During this year he has given us teams which have played to the last minute. Under his direction the football team won half of the games. The track team promises to uphold the record of previous years. Those working with Mr. Cogdal have found that he does not know the word defeat 227 H ' if ss s' .ill l T Ni dj 'sc ' Y -Q .

It was to this end that the organization was recognized by the faculty and became a reality in the spring term of last year. Its charter membership consisted of twenty-nine men, most of them now graduating. VVib Hoffman served as president for the remainder of the year with Don Allen as secretary. Soon after the club organized the men who had received letters in basket-ball, base-ball, and track were initiated-and they were. This increased the number to thirty-seven. This year the club has sponsored pep meetings, assisted with athletic games, and without any outward evidence has helped the condition of ath- letics. NVith Claire McCreight as president, Jack Hurliman. vice-president, Howard VVhite as secretary the club has been able to fullill its duties almost unnoticed and that is the real function of such an organization. 228 CAPTAIN HURLIMAN IFUOTBALL NORMAL, 63 MACOMB, O Accompanied by the Pep Band, Normal furnished the opposition for Macomb for their Merchant's Day game. Early in the hrst quarter after an exchange of punts, Beach recovered a Macomb fumble. A pass from Tate to Beach placed the ball in position for Butch Seybert to score a touchdown through the line. The try for goal was missed--the score then being 6 to O. In the second quarter Normal took the ball to the Macomb four yard line, but were unable to put over a touchdown. In the second half Macomb carried the ball to Normal's three yard line where they lost it on downs and Dean puntecl out of danger. During the game the Normal line was impregnable. Hoffman was a stone wall in the line and Butch Seybert, Tate, Pinkstaff, and Beach gave Macomb some lessons in carrying the ball. k HOFFMAN DEAN TATE HOETTLES ll'Wib77 lCHe77 6lDick77 llH00tY7 lst.

Urged on by the many alumni Normal was unstoppable and soon after the opening of the game Smock Vlfhite sneaked over the goal for the opening score after a long pass to Schutt had placed the ball within one yard of the goal. Later in the first quarter Tate got away for fifty yards and a touchdown but was called back because Shull became over-anxious and was offside. However, this didn't matter as Normal soon worked the ball near the goal and Butch Seybert scored another touchdown. After Coach Cogdal had replaced many of the first team men, Eureka forced Normal back and scored a safety, giv- ing Eureka two points. Again in the final quarter Normal scored when Sey- bert and Pinkstaff each scored touchdowns. In the line the work of Captain Hurliman, Dean, and Schutt stood out. ln the backfield Tate was the out- standing man, several times getting loose for long runs.

Although many of the students were home enjoying their Thanksgiving dinner a large crowd saw the game played on a muddy field. Cn the opening kick-off Tate returned the ball over thirty yards and nearly got away for more. Normal forced VVesleyan back near their goal but were unable to score and Wesleyaii punted out of danger. First Normal and then Wesleyan would carry the ball during the half and at the close the score was o to o. The punting of Dean and Tate's running on the muddy field were the outstanding features of the Normal team. In this game Hoffman played his Hnal game for Normal, as did Shull and VVhite. Letters were awarded at the annual banquet held this year at Fell Hall. The election of captain was left until the beginning of the 1928 season.

At the beginning of the game Normal ran up the score 9 to 1. Macomb took time out and with Page lead- ing came back and soon had the score evened. The half ended with the score standing I2 to I I in favor of Macomb. The second half was the most thrill- ing game ever played in the new Felmley gymnasium. For ten minutes neither team scored. Then Kingery scored for Normal to give, us the lead. Macomb scored again and the teams fought with all their might. Vlfith Normal one point behind and the game nearly over several shots rolled around the SEYBERT L. BAYLOR ZOOK ROWE C. BAYLOR 236 rim and fell out. The gun sounded with Macombleading I7 to 16 and the crowd begging for a basket. The Macomb game marked the peak of the Normal basketball season. Soon after this game Mush Graff developed the mumps. The second Macomb game was lost 35 to 26. The year IQ28 will be remembered as the year of the first Normal School basket ball tournament. The tournament was held February IO and I I with the teams of Carbondale, Macomb, Charleston, DeKalb, and State Normal competing. Old Normal's chances in the tournament were not promising but a big pep meeting was held and the students and faculty backed the team in a way that made the other teams respect Old Normal and her loyalty to her team. The sportsmanship of Old Normal received much favorable comment by the newspapers and the other Normal schools. Normal lost her first two KINGERY STEELSMITH DUNK MOONEY GRAFF 237 games, to DeKalb by a score of 35 to 16, and to Macomb by the score of 42 to 24. The team from Carbondale iinally won the championship game. The tournament was a success and all the Normal schools deserve credit for the ability and sportsmanship which they displayed during the days of the first Normal School tournament. The last Normal victory of the season was achieved over Illinois College. The team traveled to Jacksonville and surprised the Illinois team, winning by a score of ZQ to 27. Eureka defeated us 38 to 28 and the last game of the season ended 43 to 26. The Bradley team was stopped the hrst half and the score ended 17 to 15. Intramural Basketball The Intramural Basket ball games were under the management of .Iohn Robinson and Ralph Brasmer. Ten teams were entered and the schedule was divided into two divisions. The Manual Art team won one division and the McQueen club won the other division. In the championship game the Mc- Queen team were winners over the Manual Art team by a score of 20 to 19.

Claire lVlcCreight won the 120 yard high hurdles and placed second in the 220 yard low hurdles. The Normal relay team composed of Robinson, White, Glaeser, and McCreight, won third in the mile relay. Normal took nineteen, points. The 1928 team was lead by Claire McCreight who finished his fourth year of competition and who received the first blanket ever to be presented to an I. S. N. U. track man. The team began training early in the year in preparation for the Illinois Indoor Relay Carnival. Two relay teams and several individual contestants made this trip on March 17. Nine letter men from 1927 returned for this year. They were White, Robinson, Hill, Shull, Snyder, Carlock, Traughber, and Cockrell. Promising new men were Graack and McCullough. 1927 HN MEN IN SCHOOL SNYDER HILL CARLOOK WHITE 240 At the first meet held at Bradley, Normal placed third.

Captain Thurlow Meyers returned for his third year as did Mush Graff and William Young. Other veterans who returned this year were Baltz, Key, Reynolds, Tate, White, and Aiello. In addition to these men several new men showed promising form. Zier, Ryan, Rowe, Kirkpatrick, Blackford, Pinkstaff, Silvers, Bryan, and Ruebuch have shown sufficient form to assure the team of reserve strength. This year the team began early work in the gymnasium and were in fair shape by the beginning of out of door work. The first game of the season resulted in a 5 to I victory for old Normal over Charleston. The second game was with Macomb and again Normal won, this time I4 to 9. This year a series of three games was arranged with Wesleyan.

The point system which had for so long been the basis for awards, was dropped in order that play might be for play's sake rather than for point's sake. Awards were not entirely done away with as this was considered too great a step to take all at once. The pin may now be purchased by all members and a small felt NH is a thing of the past. Five large N?s were presented by the N board, composed of the N women, advised by Miss Munro. Sportsmanship, ath- letic ability, and educational ambition were all taken into account in the judg- ing of the receivers of the N s. The bronze tablet was awarded at Camp Lantz to the one or more wearers of the N who were judged the best of the N group. This award had not been announced at the time the Index went to print. An outing club was organized this spring and many enjoy- able outings were had. W. A. A. is a member of the athletic conference of the American college women and last year sent two delegates to the national convention held at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. This year a delegation was sent to the sectional convention held at Qhio State. W. A. A. is also a member of United States Field Hockey Association and National Amateur Athletic Fed- eration. 248 Rear Row-DORAN, Barren, HANsoN, BAKER, R. SAGE, B.xs1'1NG, HEALY, F. CORRIE, ELLIS.

WATTS. W. A.. A.. Events Early in the fall, NV. A. A. had a hare and hound chase for the Freshmen. After the Weiner roast, talks were given by the various heads of sports telling the Freshmen something about W. A. A. Songs and dancing ended our iirst social event. 1 At Homecoming, VV. A. A. ente tained the Homecomers with a never to be forgotten banquet at Maplewood Country Club. The annual hockey game was held, the varsity emerging victorious with a score of 6-2. The first afternoon party XV. A. A. gave was in the form of a boy-girl party, and was held in Felmley gym, the old castle being too small to accommodate the crowd. Some of the most handsome men seen on the campus all year were present. The initiation was a source of good time for the older members, -LS were taken in at the end of the fall term. Original poems and songs were a part of the initiation. A trip thru the museum and the weird dungeons under the old castle was one of the outstanding' features. There were about S0 girls out for basketball and a color tourney was run off, Clclla Daly's team winning it. Intramurals were started on a small scale, the Octopus House team winning from Stahl's team and the Phils defeating the Nllrights. The Freshmen, captained by Beatrice Baird, were the dark horses of the tournament, and completely overset the dope bucket by defeating both Sophomore and the Junior-Senior teams. The Junior-Senior team, eaptaiued by Esther French, won from the Sophomores, who had Bernice Cooper for captain, and defeated the Faculty women. The W. A. A. banquet came next and fortyesix members and guests gathered at the Y. W. C. A. to attend this festive occasion. Spring term was a busy one for VV. A. A. with archery, golf, tennis, and baseball tourneys, a Splash Party, an all-school dance, and the climax of the season-the Camp Lantz week-end. 249 Interiors 7250 af, . 14, N 7 A lg f ' 2 l I W A i' ' A - M We QQ X1 b :iZ 33w.g N X ,E 'N QFQAQ N ft iff!

In the beginning of the Age of Gas Stations women became masculine and the Broadway was the home of good coffee. Cal Coolidge uttered the immortal statement, Cigarettes! Cigarettes! My Kingdom for a cigarette, and the Dean of VVomen at the University of Pennsultucky issued the edict that women students may date none other than men. Simultaneously, the smell of fish spread over the universe, the fountain pen was introduced, and water flowed up hill. QThat was before the discovery of the laws of gravel- tationj Qur pink tea society was in a rage, for knitting needles were advancing in price as General Burgoyne advanced through the Hudson Valley. Diojeans, with his lantern and Hashlight, hunted all night for Hickman, the Califoregon slayer. A mosquito lit on Dean Manchester's head and the world was thrown into confusion. Noah came to the rescue in his rowboat and landed each and every one of the New York Tiddeldy Wiiik Team on Mt. Pulaski. There Moses received the bronze tablet bearing the ten commandments which today are preserved by Certo. Someone began to cry for factory legislation and for more child labor, Villa was hunted down and shot as he advanced into the valley of the four hundred. Cannons boomed, for the declaration of independence had been ratined and vetoed by Muscle Leenie. Russia adopted the national anthem, Yes, We Have No Bananas, a dog was seen on our South Campus, and Cooper wrote The Last of the Leather Stocking. Qf course there was some objection to the motion as stated, but it carried Rhode Island as the rooster barked vociferously. Tomatoes and Wesleyaii became chums, the bottom went out of the rubber-heel business, and Henry Ford inaugurated the shimmy. There was some talk of a civil war, but General Perishing quelled the riot with newly bound copies of the Gutlook for Juvember. Robert Fulton did a funny thing. So did Bill Thompson. Santa Claus was divorced for cruelty as the presto light came into being. I-Ioly Smoke, shouted a fireman as the Catholic Church burned. Someone's pet pup died and the limburger market closed as strong as ever. Thus did the Age of Gas Stations quietly lapse into the silent corridor of a ghostly past. Banana Oil!!! 261 XVOUNDED Aytchmonde Perrin Q Bozo J Shull, jr. is in the Brokaw Hospital re- covering from a painful wound which he received at the Allen Club last week. It seems that in a scramble for the meat platter which was passing by, Bozo was thrown off his guard and the spear of Red Holmes found its mark in his arm. He is doing as well as can be expected. Professor Wf A. L. Beyer has just announced the discontinuance of his class in the State History of Ohio, which will be succeeded by another course in Hysterics of the Untied Snakes since the Snivel War.

VVe suffered the loss of Red Darling at the first part of the season, when he received a broken collar bone and later we were handicapped by the loss of Taylor and Tatnian due to injuries.

Next came our two vacation tournaments. We won a cup out of both tournaments, placing fourth in the Wesleyan lnterscholastic, and second in the consolation of the Pontiac Invitational. The County Tournament was the end-of-the-season prize. The first-place shield came only after defeating Lexington, Cooksville, Normal and Bell- flower. The perservance of our fighting little team, led by Captain Darling, brought U. High through with banners waving. Besides teaching a practically new team how to play winning basketball, Coach johnson placed the Sectional Tournament for the first time at Normal. Not too much can be said in praise of him for the work he did in connection with this tournament. - The letter men were Captain Darling, Shaifer, Tatman, Beyer, VVard, Kohler, and Goff. Manager Troyer also deserves much credit. SCHEDULE December 2-U. High 22 Mt. Pulaski 18 February 2-U High 3+ Lexington ' December 9-U.

Of that number, ' ' Her-in ' ' Reece, Phu Goff, a n d M e r l e Kauffman were letter men of last year. The team had to start its sea- so11 before suin- i cient rehearsing, because of the contrary weather. In spite of tl1is the boys NYU11 their first four games in fine style. This season the team met some Northern Illinois competition. This new Athletic Club to Central Illinois sporting circles answered to the name of Sheridan. Sheridan met U. High otherwise during tl1e season and were defeated both times by one-sided scores in favor of U. High. The baseball nine will lose by graduation only one man, Merle Dauffman, who has been playing consistently third base for two seasons. VVith the loss of o11ly one man there is a large nucleus for next season's team to build around. Track University High tracksters have for the last four years been steadily climbing. This sea- son was hard hit by graduation, and whe11 the season started only two letter men were there to carry through. Hooper Arnold and Glen Shaffer were the two letter H1911 back. Shaffer was elected captain and he was there every night to encourage tl1e rest of the 1nen. Jake aside from being a letter man i11 track has four letters in major sports. In the first meet against Mackinaw U. High tied 60-60. Ill tl1e triangular meet against Farmer City and Sheridan, U. High won by the score of 66-57-S. In the county Arnold placed iirst in the discus and third in the shot. Other men placing in the county were Johnson and Ward. U. High was very strong in lield events this year, Arnold, Goff, Shaffer, Darling, VVard, were the outstanding men in the field. Tatman, Howell, Bates and Koehler were the contend- ers in the jumps and o11 the track Johnson, in the quarterg WVilson, Darling in the n1ile and half mile, McCormick, YVard, Muhl, in the sprints. VVhite was our coach for the second consecutive year, and not only sprinted for State Nt'l1'll1Hl,U but worked hard to develop the niaterial on hand representing U.

Alice Sit-By-The-Fire, by Sir James Barrie, was presented on Friday night. April 27. The whimsical role of Alice was played by Irma Smith with Roy Taylor playing opposite her. Margaret Bushee played an outstanding part as the daughter, with Eugene Blair as the son. Qther parts were taken by Catherine Dennis, Harriet Meadows, Cleda Nitzel, Wfilliam Beyer, and Elinor Johnson. The play, under the direction of Miss Goldie B. Baker, was felt to be a production decidedly worth while, entertaining, and pleasing. The Operetta ln Old Louisiana, directed by Miss Blaine Boicourt, was given by the Glee Clubs this year.

The question debated this year was Resolved, that the essential features of the McNary-Haugen Bill be enacted into law by Congress. The affirmative team, composed of Mary Freehill, Charles Allen, Mildred Fitzl-lenry, and Carl Whitehouse opened the season by losing 3-O to Dwight. Nothing daunted, the negative team, con- sisting of Cleda Nitzel, Thomas Barger, Alice Peterson, and Ralph Bates, next won a 2-I decision over Eureka. ln the second series of debates the affirmative brought glory to themselves by a unanimous win over Manslield. The negative, also debating Mansfield, again won .2-I. Wlith a total of only seven decisions, we could not enter the state con- test. Although the teams won only a little over half of their debates, the debaters feel that they learned much about farm relief, and grew a great deal in debating ability. Because about half of the debaters were new material at the beginning of the season, much of the success of the teams was due to the unlimited work done by our coach, Basil Zink, in directing our study of the question. 302 AUTOGRAPH AUTOGRAPH AUTOGRAPH AUTOGRAPH AUTOGRAPH This year marks the thirty-eighth consecutive Index which has been pub- lished, and the Staff' wishes to take this opportunity to thank the Faculty and Students for their fine spirit of cooperation.
