J J Uhr Hg VHIUUIVV english e were caught young and treated roughly by the English Department. Be- fore we were aware that we were in the process of being made into pedagogues- yea, verily before we had more than a few sparks of the egotism with which our high school diplomas had embued us knocked otl, English 4 awakened us to the reality of what real torture can be. To this day the JOHN B. Wisau' word Hcompositionsi' will bring a sigh to P Efj?,-Q1f'l5efi1'i'fflw'i5the any one who was a member of the class. Not even the study of job taught the average Chere's to the C studentj to have patience enough to sit through another course! A pantomine was not as hard as we thought it would be when we practiced it before a mirror, we were probably disconcerted then because of the shock of a dirty face. Indeed, if the test of all the public speaking 'courses had come when we practiced them before an imaginary audience, numerous orators and actors might have been head lined in the Advanceg but alas! as yet, not a Mogieska nor a Demosthenes has appeared! The Foundation Day pageant, however, remains as a memory to the ability of at least one dramatic course student-the author. If the entire course consisted in listening to Professor J. B. VVisely's kindly criticisms or suggestions, or Mrs. Hazel Pfennig's philosophy of life, or Miss Eva Anderson's experiences, the course would be a great pleasure indeed. But unfortunately this is not all there is. The majors in English followed Emerson through his Compensation with little self-reliance. But old note books and themes did much towards simplifying essays, dramas, and other literary types even to the minds 0,27 of Normalites! ' A Sf. ,. , .--gg. ,. ..,,. The day when the required courses were over was heralded with a blast of trumpets, meetings in the halls during chapel, and looks of superiority. Taken altogether, the course wasn't a bad one at all, especially if one spent an hour or so each week-end reading the books. ww. ' A. 'HG tu. .-rf:ft:, 4'NA . H...1-qa:..-

Uhr By UHIIIUIVV Science may the Fates be kind to the science teacher who doesn't understand the molef cular theory after the time Prof Edwin Bruce has spent in explaining it! Qrdinf arily, required courses are just required courses, but science courses are more. They can't of course, consist only of Dr. L. J. Rettger's elucidation of life, nor yet Louis JOHN RETTGER, , . Dcuu of the SEIVDIZEEVQE- of Prof Fred Donaghy s orations on psyf mfWfpglillfioijlfgfmf chology. Unfortunately, you must learn new things, such as, that you have eyes ears with which to hear, and a nose, no, not to register a sick' ening odor in the chemistry or physiology c'lab or near the bacteriology incubator, but, hark ye! a nose with which to smell! Ah, science is such a simple thing after all ! with which to see, Most of the 'Cprofsw know what they are about. Dr. Rettf ger knows his business when he has the young assistants take the Physiology of Foods course, for isn't the class always com' posed of girls? Professor Bernard Shockel has never yet been known to use a boulder for the purpose for which those for' ever surrounding him were originally intended, namely, to put some offending pupil nearer the Pennsylvanian formation. Itis a matter of conjecture what effect the star and moon gazing of those in the astronomy classes will have on these level headed people for celibacy seems to flourish in this department. r' With a pair of Mr. Donaghy's overalls and a bunch of his exquisite flowers in one's arms, what Normalite would not be able to persuade a trustee that he is able to teach the fifth opf tion of science!
