Though he was known intimately to only a few of us, we esteem him for what we knew him to be? an inspiring teacher a profound scholar a great educational statesman an ideal citizen a true friend With his name we remember one of his characteristic sayings: the value of education remains long after the cost is foergotten.v Seven Eight $ehitatinn To FRANK SMITH BOGARDUS, whose keen intellect, sincerity, justice, and sense of humor have won the adh mimtion and respect of a host ofNormal students and have been an inspiration and stimulation to many during the past twenty years, we afectionately dedicate the Sycamore of 1926. em; We Ga 5 . V ' llg' ll Foreward ANOTHER year at Normal has ended. In many respects it has been a record year of achievement. During this period the new Woman's Residence Hall was occupied, the first appropriation for a new Physical Education building was made available, and new enrollment records were established. But in ways Other than these the School enjoyed one of its greatest years. and classes and organizations contributed much to its success. So, whether readers of the Sy:amore Of 1926 are alumni or former students, eagerly watching the develop- ment and growth of their Alma Mater, whether they are Seniors, happy to have a summary of activities of their last year in col- Klege, or whether they are underelassmen, showing a g2nuine interest in affairs with which they are only indirectly concerned, we hope they will find some enjoyment in the pages that follow. The chronology of activities cannot be complete. But if this annual enables anyone to appreciate his Alma Mater more than he did before, efforts of the staff will not have been in vain. leVYPx ' i i $$llllW72xXV7 Wx ADMINISTRATION BUILDING XV KTATIt NAL BUILDING W'OMANS RESIDENCE HALL Tzevelve SCIENCE HALL AND LIBRARY Thirteen Fourteen I n:nka th:u-.nnI: xxxxxi . iiVK!NN !Qs:n .xxxx ?kiiI ka k 5iik , x m L !

In fulfilling its responsibility this department teaches the soundest and sanest principles of psychology and methods. At the same time it assumes a progressive attitude and includes the most recent educational theories developed, without pronouncing adverse judgment upon them. As a result, Normal-trained teachers, when they reach the held of their endeavors, are already awake to the newest ideas and , - - - - FRANCIS M.

Dean Stalkeris wholesome philosophy and careful organization of material have been a consolation, stimulation, and an inspiration to thousands of students. New Vistas are Opened for many in the psychological laboratories. Ed- ucational principles are studied so thoroughly in later courses that they are absorbed by students and subconsciously applied when the opportunity arrives, as it does in Practice Teaching. The Department Of Education was strengthened during the past year by the addition of two men who came directly from practical Eelds. As Director of Supervised Teaching a city superintendent of schools was secured. Edwin N. Canine, for many years head of the schools in East Chicago, Ind, came to the Normal. His rich experience and broad con- tacts enable him to give prospective teachers dehnite insight into the prob- lems they will meet and how they can be solved. A practical school man, he is able to connect theoh ry with actual working conditions in a helpful manner. The other new member of the department is E. E. Ramsey, formerly state high school inspector. whose intimate knowledge of conditions in Indiana High Schools enables him to conduct the class in EuwiN N. CANINE H1gh School Problems Em. E.

Creative ability in dramatics, debating, and various forms of writing is developed, and an outlet is furnished for expression of student talent in these lines. Increased efficiency of its members as a re- ; sult of travel and post graduate work has fea- ii tured the English department during the past two years. The personnel of the staff changed Jmm B VVISELY considerably as a result of leaves of absence, Piofmor and- Hmd 0f the but during the year just ended virtually all of EW'i-Yh DcW tmmt the regular faculty members were on duty. John B. Wisely, acting head of the English department a year ago was promoted to head the department. He succeeds Charles M. Curry, one of Norman best known professors, who resigned two years ago. Professor Wisely is one of the oldest members of the faculty in length of service. He has won state-wide recognition as a grammarian. Most of his teaching time is now devoted to classes in exposition and argu- mentation. For three years Mr. Wisely has coached the intercollegiate j debating teams, and under his direction an increased interest has been i shown in this activity. Two professors in the department returned from extensive foreign travels i' at the start of the past year, bringing to their classes a wealth of illus- 1 trative material gathered from their around-the-world tour. Misses Mary Moran and Elizabeth Crawford spent six months together touring Europe and the Orient. Miss Ethel Daum of the Dramatics department returned after one year,s leave of absence spent in Columbia University and New York. Since her return Miss Daum has been the guiding hand behind the Sycamore Playeris, the schoolis dramatics club, which planned to make it itself known to the school and city in the spring after weeks of intense i preparation. Mrs. Hazel T. Pfennig, instructor in the department, was missed dur- ing the Winter and Spring terms. Her unusual acquaintance with pre- sent day literature, wide contacts and broad philosophy made her a valu- able member of the department. Site planned to continue her post gradu- ate work and spend a few weeks in European travel. Great strides were made during the year in the conduct of the schoolis weekly paper, The Advance. For the flrst time in the history of the institution it was wholly a Normal School product. Composition and printing facilities were added to the Vocational School, which publishes the six-page paper each week. A progressive editorial policy made the paperis presence felt. President L. N. Hines conducted the class in High School Journalism. With a broad course of study and an excellent corps of teachers, the K English department continues as one of the three largest departments in the institution. eh 115-;itz4-;z - s '7: .gxdxzh 1; L VL.L. , 5 tram Twenty MARY ELINOR MORAN Associate Professor of Englixh SARA KING HARVEY Axsz'stant Profesxor 0f Enmish ROSE MARIAN Cox Amociatc Professor of English VICTOR C.

Much of this growth has been under its administration by Dr. Louis J. Rettger, the present dean. In the early years of State Normal the Science department was housed in some of the ground floor rooms of what is now the Administration Building. Gradually it grew in size and im- portance, until at the present time the depart- ment includes the splendidly equipped Science Lows Jomv RETTGER Hall, the greenhouse, a small farm near Terre Dm gipwtzfimfmmw Haute, and the Normal dispensary. Keeping abreast of the times probably is more difficult in the held of science than in any other, but science teachers trained in the local school End themselves able to enter competition with graduates from institutions which are able to offer more extensive work than can be offered here. Scientific theories and discoveries are not old before they are brought to the attention of students in the Science department. The department was joint host with Rose Polytechnic, early in the year, to the Indiana Academy of Science at its forty-first annual convention. Dean Rettger was chairman of the program committee. Papers were read by some members of the department. The past year marked the return of Paul D. Wilkinson, associate pro- fessor of chemistry and physiology, who was away last year securing his Masters degree from Washington University. During the year, how- ever, Prof. William P. Allen was on leave of absence at Purdue Univer- sity, his alma mater, completing work on his Masterts degree. Edgar J Hunt, instructor in physiology, continued his studies in the Medical School of Indiana University. ix :h' t ;727 : ?iiL t a- 2;- ?K kt No new courses were introduced in the department during the past year. but a more advanced course in Astronomy was added following the ine troduction of the beginning course two years ago. Weather observation apparatus has been putt to good use, and science students Observed the eclipses from the weather station on the roof of the building. Prof. Fred Donaghy, who as a side line operates the greenhouse and does landscape gardening about the campus, kept the institution supplied with flowers throughout the year. Dr. Spurgeon, head of the dispensary, maintained his record as the best known member connected with the Science department. Tu'enty-Twa JAMES F. MACKELL FRED DONAGIIY W.

SCHOCKEL PAUL DELASSUS WILKINSON Professor of Agriculture Professor of Geography and Associate Profcmor of Geology Chemistry Twenty-Three Language NE of the tragedies of the Normal School is that the Department Of Foreign Lan- guages is unable to offer instruction in all the languages for which its members are prepared. Owing to the fact that the state is over-supplied with language teachers trained in other insti- tutions, Normal has ceased to teach anything but Latin and French. However, equally good instruction in German and Spanish could be given if conditions warranted. Perhaps some clay these additional languages will be offered qumcx H. WENG to stu'dents who want to studythem but are not Head of Foreign Lanyuaym plannlng to teach them. Thls would enlarge Effigy?Tanjijff,,efriif3w$3:5; the scope of the department as well as afford of Men students an opportunity which many of. them would like to take advantage of. Until this happens the department is training teachers of Latin and French, and giving a wide acquaintance of classical'literature in these languages. M athematics NE never thinks of the Department of Mathematics without thinking of registration day, for Prof. Frank R. Higgins is known to hundreds of students who are not mathematics majors as a result of this hrst day acquaintance with him. Since mathematics is the most exact science, it is well that someone connected with this department he in charge of registration day activities. The three members of this department are as systematic as the science which they teach is exact. Social Studies DDITION of one member to the staff of the Department of History and Economics marked the growth of this department during the year. Distinction came to it also when Dean Bogardus' new text book came from the press during the winter and won favorable comment and criticism. The department of social studies at Normal a presents teachers of the most varied types, but Dean Bogardus' experiemes, Professor Malanls philosophy of life and faith in democracy and Professor Roll's storehouse of facts all have a Vital and important place in preparing teach- CFS Of the social studies.

Less than two years ago Professor Turman ex- hibited his pictures publicly for the first time, and the institution shared with him the pleas- ure he received at the splendid receptions ac- corded his paintings. While Professor Tur- manis speciality may be painting beeches there is a decided variety in his work. During the year Professor Turman was as- sisted in his department by Miss Viola Waller WILLIAM THOMAS TURMAN , , Head of Art Department and 1n the absence of MISS Ethel Bray, who was t memar of A7 away on leave of absence. Music NE of the rapidly growing departments is the Music department. This is evidenced by the increasing number of music majors, and increased interest in musical organizations. Pre- sentation of Handels Messiahi, at Christmas I by a chorus of sixty voices accompanied by the ? 4 W ;'W 315:5 J i ,erx saw w ya i . 7 i school orchestra was one of the high marks v, i . . gm of the musmal season at Normal.

Distance and exactness of require- mentsaand the department is known for the quantity of work required-have not thwarted the ambition of commerce students. Under the jurisdiction of Professor Young SHEPHERD YOUNG Head of Commerce Department and Professor of Cmnmercial Subjects the book store is an integral part of the depart- ment. Hundreds of dollars are saved students each year by the bookstore, as a result of dis- counts on text books. Service of many kinds is offered by the store, and it is this satisfactory service which has been responsible for increasing the volume of business which it does annually. I ndustrial A'rts MANUAL arts courses covering such a wide range as mechanical draw- ing, moulding, and printing are Offered in the Vocational building, which houses the Department of Industrial Arts. Equipment is these branches is as excellent as that of the Department of Home Economics which also occupies space in this building. Introduction of the course in printing was the most progressive step taken by the department during the year. The printing press was installed early in the year, and editions of the school paper were run off on it. Linotype machines were added later, and instruction in printing is given by J. C. Tran- barger. Job work of various kinds is also done by the department, which has been well patron- ized by organizations in the institution as well as outside customers. Another addition to the faculty was that Of George K. XVells, professor of industrial arts, who succeeded Denman Kelley, resigned. Graduates of Normal With degrees in indus- trial arts have little difficulty in finding ex- cellent positions. This speaks well for the work of the department.

If x I p. i1 Libmvy NE of the priceless pieces of equipment of the Normal School is the library of over 100,000 volumes which is equaled by few institu- tions of its kind in the entire country. A store- house of knowledge virtually limitless in ex- tent is left in the care of the librarian and his staff. From a material viewpoint. at least. the library leaves little to be desired. The greatest regret of Normal students is that the rush of daily preparations for pre- scribed courses prevents them from browsing ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM in the library and opening new Vistas for them- Librarian selves. No more liberal education is possible than hours a day spent in such a library as ours. The library staff lost one of its most valuable members at the start of the year when Miss Anne C. Keating, for many years assistant librarian and cataloger, went to Ohio University at Athens, Ohio. ?hysical Education T HE Physical Education department of the Normal School is living almost whollyrin the future. Promise of a modern and well-equipped physical training building is approaching real- ization slowly. First hopeful signs came last January 1 when an appropriation of $75,000 by the state legislature was made available. FLORENCE CURTIS Two months after it was available, however, Head Of Physical Education Department and Professor of the prospective site had not been announced. Physical Education for Women Terre Haute business men were planning to become active in procuring a site. Actual work on the building was expected to follow rapidly after the site was chosen. The Physical Education department is the only one in the Normal School which is still confined to the quarters provided for it when the institution was first established. Even with this handicap the menls and women,s depart- ments have done effective work, and splendid athletic teams have been produced. A new era for the department will dawn when adequate facilities are available. ARTHUR L. STRUM Head of Physical Education Debartment and .Professor of Phyxical Education for Men HAZEL E.

It was by far the largest class ever' graduated from the institution. But in addition to holding an out- standing position among graduation classes from the standpoint of num- bers, this years Seniors ranked equally high in attainment in all phases of extra-curricular activity as well as scholarship. It would be unfair to list the accomplishments of several individuals without giving all members of the class credit for what they have done. A few Seniors, however, have been so outstanding throughout their years in Normal that they have won deserved recognition from the faculty as well as from their fellow students. Seniors exhibited a splendid spirit throughout the year. Many members of the class attended the Senior dance at the Elks club in January, the first class function. In the Spring term most of the social affairs of the class were held, the events of Commencement week coming as the climax. The class of 1926 instituted the custom of holding Class day exercises and planting the ivy, a tradition which it is to be hoped will be carried out in succeeding years. r r t-vz , e rs aswmsmmwwmusxsmi xzvg$ ' Thirty-Five 1mg A v' x ; E 77 mfg; 1:3 m is? .

If dignity is essential to being a Senior, no doubt many of them were quietly engaged in acquiring more of this characteristic, in order that they might completely fill their obligation for the year 1927. Perhaps the biggest task facing Juniors as a class is a social one, that of staging the Junior Prom in June. President Delmar Wilson, himself a master at the art of planning dances, secured the necessary cooperation to insure this year's Prom equalling if not surpassing those of former years. Juniors were not so busy getting ready to be Seniors that they failed to participate extensively in Normal School affairs from October until June.

WENG Gawutgfu THE Sophomore class, although it started the year somewhat inau- spiciously by losing in the Frcshman-Sophomore class rush the honors which it won a year ago, contributed its full share to activities in State Normal School. Led by its president, Will Weng, the Sophomores valiant- ly defended their colors against the Freshman horde before one of the biggest crowds which ever attended the traditional homecoming event. Members of the class were unusually active in school affairs. Paul Beck, ttSpookyh Dorsett, and Arvine Brown played regularly on the foot- ball team. Dorsett, Obert Piety, Charles Cox, and Herschel Lammey were regulars on the basketball team, and other Sophs were on the squad. In other branches of athletics, in debating, and all phases of school life, the Sophomores were active. Their unusual interest and participation indicates that school activities will be left in competent hands by the out- going classes of the next two years. Sixty-Four Wd-M-WS Sophomore Class .-n K!

Again he moulded together successful basketball and track teams, and helped much in the great progress made by the athletic de- partment. Mr. Glas- cock himself was a crack athlete at VVab- ash College, which increases his value as a coach greatly. axtcd e e.

Victories were registered over Vincennes and Muncie Normal. while State Normal lost to Imhana, DePauw, Franklin College, and Millikin. Our tie game was with Eastern Illinois State Normal. The initial corihict was against Indiana, played in their new Memorial Stadium at Bloomington. Lacking reserve strength the Normal hand went down to defeat 31 to 0 after battling the ltBig Ten', outfit 0n practically even terms throughout the first half. The following Saturday Vinceimes invaded Normalls midst and went home with a 72 to O defeat. ltOur Boysll played the Alice eleven off their feet, and at no time was the hnal verdict in doubt. Thirty-six Normal warriors saw action in the fray. including eighteen freshmen. DePauw University of Greencastle, 0n the next week-eml took our scalp t0 the tune of 26 to O. The Sycamores battled the stronger Tiger contingent scoreless during the initial period. but the 01d reserve strength was lacking, and the victors tallied 26 counters the last half. W'ith some worthy substitute material the score might have read different. Playing wonderful football at Franklin October 24, the Strummen all but grabbed a Victory from the giant Franklin combination. Both elevens flashed splendid football, and the affair was red hot from whistle to whistle. The final count was 7 to 6. Our next defeat was handed us by James Millikin University Of. Decatur, Illinois. The score, 13 t0 0, came as a surprise to the Millikin supporters, as they were ex- pecting to win by a one-sided margin. The Blue and White played heady football throughout, but lack of offensive power caused the reverse. De- fensively the Sycamores were great. Muncie Normal was the second victim for the locals, going down in defeat 20 t0 7. The Strummen out- fought and outplayed the Muncie team, and deserved to win. The field was a sea of mud, or a larger score would probably represent the Syca- mores, efforts. The curtain dropped on football activities at the Normal camp with the playing of E. l. S. N. 011 Blue and White Day. State Normal deserved to win, but a last quarter rally by the Visitors netted ten points and caused the battle to end in a knot at 16 all. Summing it all up the State Normal eleven made a remarkably good showing considering the Class of opposition they met. Indiana, DePauw, Franklin, and Millikin are all leading football contenders in this section, and the splendid showing against these teams shows the true class of the Normal warriors.

Taking everything into consideration, the season was a successful one. despite the fact that the team lost more games than any other Normal quintet in recent years. Only two lettermen, Captain HYankT' Albright and 11Pete Van Horn. were available for varsity duty at the opening of the season and Coach Dave Glascock faced a task in hammering out a winning combination from a small squad of about twenty candidates. The most enccmraging thing about the squad this season was the fact that it was composed ahnost entirely of sophomores. Albright and Van Horn, each having served four years on the varsity teams, are the only members of the squad to be lost by graduation. Hersche11 Lammey, a product of the 1925 freshman team, became a hx- ture at the pivot position and led the team in scoring with 125 points. Obert Piety, a Van Buren high product, held down the Hoot guard posi- tion in each of the eighteen games played. ,He devehmed rapitHy as the season advanced and he became one of the outstanding players of the squad before the close of the season. Captain Albright, although greatly hand- icapped throughout the season by one thing or another, held down the back guard position in his usual stylish manner. The forward positions were Filled alternately by 11Pete Van Horn, 11Char1ie,y Cox, ttSpookyii Dorsett. and NBill Eder. Other members of the squad who deserve mention are Keith Stroup, Ray Lutes, Tom Dormzm and Dave XYelIs.

The track combination of this spring had as its nucleus hve letter men of the 1925 tWVonder Team, namely: Captain Boultinghouse, Tomey, New- port, J. Anderson, and W. Anderson. With the addition of several new men, a p0werfu1 scoring machine was placed in the held. A stronger schedu1e than ever before attempted faced the track crew, but the team showed its true worth and a creditable record was hung up. For the dashes and middle distances Coach Glascock used I. Anderson, Tomey, Connellya Stanton, and Porter. The mile and two mile runs were taken care of by Jardine, Connelly, Smith, Fisher, Moser, and Burnett, while W. Anderson and Newport were the blue and white mainstays in the hurdle events. The points scored by the Sycamores in the held events came through the efforts Of Captain Boultinghouse, Tomey, W.

From a small squad of about Fifteen candidates, Five of which were letter athletes of last year's team, Coaeh Strum banded together a strong combination which opened the season with a bang and from all indications the Sycamores should finish just as strong. The lettermen available for varsity duty again this season were Captain Carl Frommet Claude Piker, ttCharlie', Taylor, Bill McPherson, and Bill Eder. Missing from last yeark team were ttBirdieh Miller, pitcher, Tom Dorman, catcher, Orville Puckett. hrst base, Sam Smith, second base, Paul XVolf. shortstop, ttBiHy Webb and ttliaheH HonmrL outhelders. Because Of the small squad which reported, it was an easy matter for the it01d headsU to clinch their positions but not one quit tighting. Big Jim Chestnut entered school at the opening of the Spring term and settled the catching problem. McPherson was jerked from the outfield, where he performed last season, to take first base. Piker retained his position at second and Captain Fromme worked in his usual stylish manner at third. ttBaldyh Altekruse, a star of the 1925 freshman team, stepped into the shortstop position left vacant by Paul Wolf. Eder retained a position in 'the outfield where he played last year and Deryl Hedge, who gained sophomore standing at the close of the Winter term, cavorted in one of the other garden positions. The third position caused Coach Strum considerable worry and the time was divided among the remaining members of the squad, including Manager Wood, Wills, Breidenbaugh, Vickers, and Crecelius. ttYank Albright, a left-over from last yeai's pitching staff was able to take his regular turn on the mound this season. and turned in some creditable Victories. Foster Parks 21 new corner was also most effective on the mound and was able to turn back the opposition time and again. Of course, itCharlieii Taylor, was the ace of the pitching staff.

From the list reporting, Geddes, Bedwell, Hodges, Pruitt, and Holloran were chosen to compose the golf team. A fairly successful season was the result of this choice. Matches were played with several of the leading schools of the state. Two of last years varsity men, Bedwell and Hodges, are again avail- able this year. These, along with such men as Ehiers, Kendall, Reynolds, and Dunlap, are expected to make a very strong team.

Festivities opened informally Friday evening at 6:00 P. M. with a big bonfire and pep session held on the school grounds. Following this the group attended a theater party at the Hippodrome, where the Normal school reigned supreme. The opening event on Saturday was the Blue and 1Yhite Day Chapel exercises held in the Normal Hall. Superintendent J. O. Engleman of the Terre Haute city schools, a graduate of this school, gave the main talk of the morning. Immediately following the exercises two events were held simultaneously--the Freshman-Sophomore color rush and the girls, var- sity-alumni basket ball game. The Freshmen were the victors in the forw mer, capturing the colors just a few seconds after the start, while the var- sity girls were the winners of the latter by the narrow margin of one pomt. At noon the various organizations of the school entertained their Visit- ing alumni with luncheons. The main event of the day came at two dcloek in the afternoon when the State Normal and Eastern Illinois State Normal Football teams battled to a 16-16 tie at the Memorial Stadium. At 6 :00 oiclock a banquet was held at the new girls, dormitory, followed by a short program. Short talks were given by President L. N. Hines. Harold Bright, and Sampson Smith. Several musical numbers were also given. After the program the guests adjourned to the gymnasium for the fmal event of the dayithe Blue and White Dance. The gym was beauti- fully decorated, and the dance was indeed a fitting climax t0 the days activities. An unusually large number of alumni from all over the state, also from other states, was present for the big home-eoming day, while a majority of the students and faculty at school cooperated to make this day one of the biggest and most successful of the year.

The flrst event of the season was the presentation of mThe Dawn of Judgment by the Sycamore Players, in connection with the carnival given by The Sycamore. This depicted members of the faculty before St. Peter. and shuwed whether they were permitted to climb the heavenly flights nr were relegated to the underworld. A similar sketch. showing the fate of members of The Sycamore Players, had been presented to this club earlier in the term by new members. A Christmas play, nWhy the Chimes Rang, by Elizabeth Apthorp McFadden, was given by Miss Ethel Daumys class in English 42 011 De- cember 23 in the Training School Chapel. This production was effectively given. Leading characters were Katherine Greenlea, Joy Fitzsimmons, Kenneth Johnson, and Maurine Sherwood. Although he did not have a speaking part, William Jardine attained some distinction as the priest. A quartet of students outside the Dramatics Class sang several numbers in connection with the play, adding to the atmosphere. At the close of the Winter term the Dramatics class and Sycamore Players combined gave two plays in the Training School chapel. White Dressesh by Paul Greene was presented by the class in English 42. Miss Neva Rankin and Robert White headed the cast. They were supported by Mrs. Lydia Beck and XVilliam J.N01tner. The Other play, TTShamW by Frank G. Tompkins, was presented by William J.N01tner, Ralph Peters, Joy Fitzsimmons, and Lawrence Baxter. The work of Noltner in the lead- ing part was outstanding. , Miss Daum,s Class presented plays at the close of the spring term. The Sycamore Players made tentative plans for the public presentation of ttThe Goose Hangs High late in May. One Of the outstanding students in dramatics was TVilliam T antner, who left Normal at the end of the XVinter term to join a chautauqa company presenting HThe F001? TtRip Van TYinklef, and one or two other plays during the coming season. After a tour of the southwest and west extende ing through the early summer, the company expected to play in New England.

One forward step was taken when the league decided to invite repre- sentatives of all the sororities to attend a dance which any section was giving. This experiment was tried with success for the first time in the Winter term, and sociability was increased. Meetings of the league were held regularly throughout the year, the first time this had been done. The league pledged a substantial sum to the Parsons memorial fund, and also presented a handsome chimes clock to the new TVomanE Residence Hall. The usual social events were sponsored by the league. On March 6 it gave a party at the Student building for the unorganized girls At the Mother 5 day celebration mothers of boys as well as mothers of the girls were invitetl. A formal tea and banquet weie given in honor of the mothers. In 1897 the women of Indiana State Normal School first organized the VVomalfs League. Its purpose has always been to strengthen the spirit of unity and sense of individual responsibility existing among the women students of the school, to promote better acquaintance, to bring about greater harmony among them, and to be a medium by which the social standards of the school can be made and kept high. - a 6 WAS We? xaxxx'mmlxxy a!

Soon other girls became interested in this Mystic Suciety, as it was called, and many joined its ranks. As the membership changed the Object of the organization changed in accordance with its new ideals. In 1910 the Epsilon Delta sorority was organized from this group, for the purposes of promoting scholarship, social activity, and high standards of conduct. The past year has been a most successful one for the sorority. Patro- nesses were Miss Katherine Kennedy of the Training School faculty and Mrs. J. F. Mackell, wife of Professor Mackell 0f the Science department. In honor of them a dinner was given at Longs January 29, with the active girls as hostesses.

A Christmas dance at the Elks Club closed activities for the Fall term, but elaborate social programs occupied the other two terms. Lambda Delta Phi was organized in the fall of 1904 by a group of girls who had graduated from Terre Haute High school in june. They were invited to join the XVOlnarfs League, and the Llamarada sorority, named so by Mr. XVisely, was the result. The name of the section was later changed to its present one.

From the standpoint of number of members participating in school activities. especi- ally ath1etics, it was a banner year. The Daedalian Literary Society was organized Dec. 12, 1907 for the purpose of encouraging public speaking and promoting a broader literary acquaintance among its members. With the acquisition of a permanent house, for its members in the early summer of 1923, Daedalians changed their name to Delta Lambda Sigma. Their first permanent home was located at 808 Chestnut street. Later the organization moved its head- quarters to 500 North Sixth street, where it remained until the close of the second Summer term of 1925. The fraternityk home for the past school year has been at 634 Swan street. The Opening of the Fall term 1ast October found the fraternity with twenty-two active members on its r011. By the end of the rush season seventeen new men had been pledged. The first social event of the year was a get-acquainted smoker at the house on October 9, and a theater party at the Indiana. Homecoming was held in connection with Blue and White Day, and the fraternity gave its open dance on March 13, 1926. Other events were on the sociaI calendar in the spring. 1tNot a Daedalian for Daedalians, sake, but a Daedalian for the sch001,s sake? is the motto of the fraternity. 1WMIIW Wm f xNXAWKVJXVMMV 1- .1 a ..

Throughout the past twenty-hve years it has set a high standard of achievement. Although organized as a purely social fraternity, the Forum has encouraged high standards in scholarship and athletics. It has given its loyal support to all activities of the school, scholastic, athletic and social, and has co-Operated with the other organizations in making Normal a bigger and better school. It has tried to instill into its members a spirit of friendship, good fellowship, and mutual helpfulness Which has made the organization a beneht to them and t0 the school. The Forum entered its twentyesixth year to make it the greatest one of progress and achievement in the history of the society. From the hfteen active men present at the first meeting in the Fall term, the organ- ization increased to forty-four by the end Of the school year. The society was well represented in every branch of school activity during the year. Three of the most successful dances of the year were given by the Forum, an open dance during the Fall term, the Winter term dance, and the annual dinner dance at the Deming early in June. Occasional smokers held at the Forum house and several dinners and luncheons were enjoyed during the year. . - AA 9w OneeHumiv'ed Thiriy-Eight xxmuammzw IN' THE SYCAMORE . - a $ 445 mmmmmxan Onv-Ihmdrnl Thirly-Nirnrc :33 : ' V ' $$' ' 0 aw THE SYCAMORE mmllgmxmzmmwg :nw -IIWWXNINHW0NV FL 0 117173 F O'Z'Ing-WM-Hot COLORS Brown rmd 71171176 OFFICERS Pl'esidewf - - - thALTER BICCUY Vice Irhh'mMe'nf - - CHARLES LEHNEI: Treasurer - h - RAYMOND SPARKS N HE Trojan Society is now nearing the Close of its twelfth successful year as an organized society in State Normal School.

With the membership limited to thirteen. and representation entirely from classes. with the exception of one delegate from the VVomalfs League and another from the merfs societies combined, the body found itself small enough to conduct business efficiently. Early in the Fall term rules were made for the Freshman-Sophomore scrap, and Freshmen were instructed to wear blue caps. In the Winter term the council was given the responsibility Of maintaining order in the halls during the Chapel hour. It previously instituted a campaign for reducing the amount of tardiness in the institution. Interest of council members in formulating plans for improving condition within the school was recognized by the administration, with the result that there was in- creased cooperation between school officials and students. The council performed a real service during the year, and leaders felt that in another year schooI spirit could be revived and stimulated. . a $ 1x5 WW WWWWWCW tagki X'VAW 4NWA4v OnevHundrod Forty-Five .

MCFADDEN Famlty Adviser - - PROF. E. L. ABELL N ALPHA Kappa chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, installed February 12, 1926, was the hrst Chapter of a national honorary fraternity to be estab- lished in State Normal School. The charter in this widely known educa- tional fraternity was granted to the Honor Society which was organized early in 1925 as a petitioning group to Kappa Delta I 1. Installation of the local chapter was a distinction to the institution as well as to the membership of the local organization, for Kappa Delta Pi maintains the highest educational ideals, and fosters fellowship, scholar- ship, and achievement in educational work. Faculty members first became interested in the possibility of securing a chapter of a national honorary educational fraternity about three years ago. Organization of the Honor Society in the Spring term of last year was the first step in Obtaining the chapter. Nineteen students comprised this original petitioning body, and eight others were received into member- ship during the summer. Word Of favorable action 011 the petition was received late in January. Dr. T. C. McCracken of Ohio University, president of the executive council of the national fraternity, installed the chapter. DamaIas Weng, piesident 0f the Honor Society during its existence, also was elected president of Alpha Kappa chapter. She was sent by the local Chapter as delegate to the convocation of Kappa Delta Pi in Wash- ington D C. the last week 1n February. Prof. E. L. Abell, faculty adviser 0f the Honor Society, was taken into membership and initiated into Kappa Delta Pi with the Chapter. Three faculty members are members of Kappa Delta Pi in other institutions. They are: Miss Inez Morris, Miss Martha Cooley, and Prof. George K. Wells. im1;. K IIIKWKY K wxyautmyzwwxwmsaw 43 Orm-Ilundred FartySix nwgwxztuww THE SYCAMORE WAmquxWIW , w o . gw WxV mm- X1434.

Debating State Normal closed a successful debating season with a standing of .500 in the Indiana Intercollegiate Debating League and an even break in non-league preliminary debates. Teams enjoyed the most extensive trips and the largest number of contests ever enjoyed by State Normal debaters. The opening debates were 011 February 26. The negative team, comprised of I10e Buck, William Jardine, Alexander Jardine, and Lois Earl Kitch, alternate, went on a weekend trip to Ohio. University of Heidelberg, at Tiffin, and XVittenberg College, at Springfield, were met. The first debate ended in a 011e-judge decision against the Normal debaters, and the other was a Ilo-decision contest. The afhrmative team, comprised of Clark Frakes, W111 C. VVeng, Buryl F. Engleman, and Hazel B. Harrigan, alternate, re- ceived a unanimous decision of three judges over the University of Heidel- berg team at Terre Haute. One week later the first state league debates were held. The affirmative team, debating at home, 1ost a two to one decision to Manchester College, and the State Normal negative team lost a similar decision at Indiana Cen- tral 111 Indianapolis. The season closed on March 18 with a dual debate against Valparaiso. The State Normal negative team, deb ating at home, gained a unanimous decision of th1ee judges whi1e the State Normal af- firmative debaters lost a two to one decision at Valparaiso. lg! 211k O1ZB-Hu1td78d FortyVEight k lhellIMWkYkk lag' 1N1 liIIKVWWWlIthW am a o - . dmwzxmzmuwme THE SYCAMORE WATWHWXMW Board of Control THE Board of Control, comprised of representatives of the faculty and student body, exercises supervisory control over all student publica- tions.

ENGLMMAN FRANCES SACKS LUCILE YOUNG LAWRENCE SAWYER N HIE Normal Advance was more widely read by faculty members and students during the past year than it has been tor a long time. This was largely due to the fact that the paper adopted a vigorous editorial policy, taking sides in several controversies which resulted from the yeafs activities. VVOtk 011 the Normal School weekly was carried on largely by volunteers. as the class in High School Journalism was small during the Winter and Spring terms. For the first time in the history of the school the publica- tion was altogether a Normal product, as the installation of printing equipment in the Vocational building made it possible to set up and print the paper in the Normal School. President L. N. Hines conducted the class in journalism during the year, and the administration exhibited a keen interest in the welfare and success of the publication. mmnmxm '2 wmuwzxxwmm .. a o- - -?:: One-Huvtdred Fifty THE SYCAMORE 'WAQX'IMII?A W1WW - . .ulllwygkk$yZlmllWN a $ 'Ils x'IMWWMMkVWlaa 0710-Hund1'ed FiftyOnc WINHWIO$ THE SYCAMORE W4me ?m WlW -- ' 1926 Sycamore EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in,-UIIiaf - - HAZEL VB.

This year the society experienced 21 reorganization and a regeneration. The few whom the Fall term brought back to school have re-ereated an interest in the organization and its program. A new constitution has been adopted, and the membership has been multiplied. Both Fall and Winter terms were devoted to a study of the modern novel, a subject that proved interesting and worthwhile. Strides forward taken this year were noticeable, and Alethenais hope that the society will mamtain the record Of success and honor which it has shown in past years. guumykxxwmw ; WWIIIIIWVM ; Onc-Hundred Fifty-Four W4x$wll?A WlM .WINHWIW' THE SYCAMORE . 0 a5 W5 MWWVAKWMHKW ,Ajg Oanundred Fifty-Five :nu. .liliiwl'f; waaw XVVJAINHWNV THE SYCAMORE WylAtmllgmlmlWW-e - ; Eclectic Literary Society COLORS LYRE FL 0 WEB OM Rose and away f'ammfion U FFICERS President - - - EDNA HYNEMAN Vice Pregidrmt - - - FRANCES HAND Secretary - - - - RUBY KEELING T'reasme'er - - - RUTH KNOEBEL ' , I i h !

The society was founded in 1870 with the purpose of studying the fine arts in such phases as to promote the general knowledge and culture of its members, and it is the oldest organization in the school now existing. During the Fall and Winter terms modern poetry was studied with great interest and talks were given by Miss Anderson and Miss Daum. To the regular literary programs were added studies of the operas and art. Among the social features of the year were the annual Blue and White breakfast, picnic suppers for the new members, a bridge party sponsored by Mrs. Gladys Marlan, a colonial tea, and a dance in the Spring term.

M. C. A. and conferences attended by its mem- bers during the past year. Several delegates from the association, accompanied by Dean F. H. WVeng, attended the State Conference of Students and Faculty at Purdue University early in November. Considerable discussion of guestions c011- fronting college students resulted from this. Among the reactions was a local campus conference, conducted under the joint auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in the Winter term. Outside speakers representing the state association and authorities on social problems participated. A new feature of Wm work was the Faculty Advisers Conference held at Indianapolis in February. Normal was represented by Dean VVeng. At this meeting Y. M. C. A. advisers in the various colleges talked over the interests of the association. At the close of the XVinter term three representatives of the local association, Ralph Scott, Lloyd Arbuckle, and Arthur Burnett, attended a conference at DePauw University conducted by State Student Secretary W. W. Mendenhall and his assistants. Alden G. Alley, a soldier-educator who has traveled widely, was brought to Normal late in April by the Y. Mi C. A. for an address before the student body and a regular Y. M. C. A. meeting. This was the closing event of the year under the auspices of the association. mwmmwm ; eamuuxmx max a m ;, VI.

It meets twice a month and topics of interest in the Field are discussed. The organization devutes its attention largely to the prufessional side, but the sncial side is nut entirely neglected. Early in the F2111 term a picnic supper was held at the Y. XV. C. A. At the initiation cercmnny held in Decemheix twelve new members were taken in.

When activities were begun it was decided to devote the year to the study of Greek art, with most attention paid to Greek architecture. Dean F. H. Weng and Prof. F. G.

One of the striking features of the year was the weekly program in which each member of the club took part, discussing a new point in his field of work. Members of the Science department of the faculty c0- operated heartily With the students in furthering the work in which they were interested. Many subjects of current research were presented by various members of the club throughout the year. As the club stands largely for scholastic achievement, little attention was paid to social affairs However, every member enjoyed the annual picnic. The Science club Was organized mainly through the efforts of Howard Bell, who is now head of a large chemical plant at Cincinnati. Prof. E.

XVEM; N A YEAR of quiet progress and achievement marked the development of the Sycamore Players during the past year. The club lost heavily in membership during the summer, and started the year with a small roster. However, a group of unusually interested students was taken in early in the fall. and the dramatics club was well established throughout the year. In another season the club expects to give a public presentation of some drama. The Sycamore Players were organized in the spring of 1924, and de- voted the first year of their history t0 a study Of plays and play-staging. During the past year several one-aet plays were given before meetings of the society, in order that members might gain valuable experience. Programs of an educational nature were given throughout the year. Owing to the success with which the club was being carried on under her direction, the Sycamore Players decided at the close of the Fall term to keep President Hazel B. Harrigan and the other ofhcers during the entire year. The plan worked to edvantage, members of the society agreed. Valuable assistance throughout the year was given by Miss Ethel Daum 0f the English department, an associate member of the Sycamore Players.

Music Department Band-Orchestra-Chorus HE threesday spring music festival, held early in May, climaxed the greatest year in the history of the Normal School Music department. In addition to the presentation of two oratorios by the augmented Normal Chorus, accompanied by the Normal orchestra, the school was host to musical organizations of many high schools in the state in a state musical contest. The event was so successful thatplans are being formulated to make the festival, including the contest, an annual affair. Singing 0f Rossini's nStabat Mater and Hayden's HCreationi, 0n suc- cessive evenings was one of the outstanding events in Terre Hauteis musical history. The festival chorus of nearly 100 voices, directed by Prof. L. M. Tilson 0f the Music department, was accompanied by the Normal orchestra, of which Prof. W. H. Bryant is concertmaster. Four prominent Chicago soloists assisted the chorus. These oratorios were presented on the second and third nights of the festival. The festival was opened on the evening of May 4 with a musical pro- gram by Terre Haute public school musical organizations. It was follow- ed by the cantata, TtSpring Rapture? composed by Harvey B. Gaul. This number was sung by the womens chorus of the Normal, assisted by the Wiley High School Girls, Glee club. Afternoons 0f the next two days were devoted to high school orchestra and glee club contests. The other big number given by the Normal chorus was the hMessiahii which was sung in chapel the Sunday before Christmas. Soioists from the school and the Normal orchestra assisted in this, and the chapel was completely filled by an appreciative audience of students and townspeople. Efforts were made during the year to provide uniforms for the Normal band of 25 pieces. This organization made a rapid growth. It furnished music at many of the athletic contests, and made one public appearance in a civic parade in connection with the Armistice day celebration. Normal orchestra furnished chapel programs every Thursday during the school year, and made much progress during the year. Its concerts were greatly appreciated. The orchestra also furnished the accompani- ment for the school chorus.

Such changes have been needed for a long time, but it was not until this last term that such has been able to be accomplished. Probably the most important change was that of the Presidentys position. The school board is proud to announce that the new president of this institution starting this week will be Mr. Leighton Dorsett, Ph. D., B. A., M. A. Dr. Dorsett comes direct from the Harvard Law School, where he has been spende ing extensive study of the law in order that in real life he might know better how to extricate himself from trouble. He comes highly recommended, and it is certainly gratifying to know that Dr. Dorsett with hisx plaid golf knickers will be the guiding hand of the school for at least a year. One important change has been made in the His- tory department by the State Board of Education Since Miss Elizabeth Wolff is always talking more than Mr. Malan in his classes, it was decided that Mr. Malan must be dropped if he could not use up at least half the Class time as Miss Wolff does. As a consequence, Miss Wolff will take Mr. Malan's classes from now on. In the Commerce department another radical change has taken place Mr. H. LeRoy Carmack, or rather Huston L. Carmack, has replaced Mr. Grove as accounting teacher. As a perpetual candi- date for an llA,l Mr, Carmack will be fair to his classes, and not give Hexcessive assignments . Because of special talent in this school a new department has been created, the Down Home Eco- nomics Department. The head professor will be Virgil Bledsoe, whose vast fund of local color will make him an excellent department head. A few important changes have been made in the English Department, also; Mr. Wardie C. Hargis will take all classes in debating from now on. His discussions will center mostly around the subjects of nude women and immoral bathing beauties. -Norma1 Advance MUZ6 tlApm'l Fool, We Make Potato Chips The Goodie Shop BAKERY CAFETERIA DELICATESSEN We cater to Normal Students THE EAT HOUSE COMPLETE Phone Wabash 628 106 N.
