The most limiting and yet niost varying influence on human life is en- vironlnent. The lnost continuous and most progressive control of hunian life is morality. The greatest uplift and inspiration to huinan life religion. The most difficult, task of a human life is to realize ideals. The noblest work is the safe conduct of human life from the discipline of child- hood to the freedom of manhood. The inost enduring influence of lllllllilll life is personal service and evident joy in the welfare of others.

I believe in the curse of ignorance, in the efficacy of schools, in the dignity of teaching, and in the joy of serving others. I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as i11 tl1e pages of a printed book, in lessons taught, not so much by precept as by example, in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head, in every thing that makes life large and lovely. I believe in beauty in the school room, in the home, in daily life and in out-of-doors. I believe in laughter, in love, in faith, in all ideals and distant hopes that lure us on. I be- lieve that every hour of every day we receive a just reward for all we are and all we do. I believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its promises and in the divine joy of living. NORMALOGUE 11 . Af X Eliza 013.

Her pleasant face and ever ready smile have always brought comfort to us all. In 1903, Miss Bugbec graduated from the Boston School of Domestic Science and came to us as matron. Since she has been head of our happy family, faithfully performing all duties and triuniphantly overcoming all difficulties. The best to our Miss Bugbee!

Miss Hall graduated from the Worcester Classical High School in 1910 and completed her course at the Domestic Science School, Boston, in 1913. Although she has been with us but a short time her charming manner and personality aside from winning her many friends, has made our life much more pleasant and enjoyable. As she leaves us to take up other work our best wishes for her success follow her. NORMALOGUE 0112155 Sung Gunn-Alma illllairr.

'ii' DITH came to Normal from Shelburne, a little town beyond the Hoosac Tunnel. At first, she seemed a very quiet, bashful, little girl. However, it did not take many recitations in Science to prove that there was quite a deal of solid knowledge concealed behind that retiring exterior. During all our course, she surprised us with ready answers to questions requiring thought too deep for the other members of the class. Besides being gifted with knowledge, Edith has many other pleasing attributes. One is that she has great ability at making baskets in Gym.', Talented with a sweet voice, she is one of the few honored by being asked to sing solos in Assembly. VVe have no duobt but that she will make a most successful teacher. She carries with her into her chosen profession not only the best wishes of her friends and companions but also a countenance in which did meet sweet records, promises as sweet. 28 NORMALOGUE DIARY AGNES DANAHER, Wlilliamstown, Blass.

On the whole, it was quite anunder- taking and the class well deserves credit for its accomplishment. The scenes of the play take place in aigrove near the King's palace. There was a law in the city of Athens that a father might compel his daughter to marry whomever he pleased or to be put to death. Egeus wished Hermia to marry Demet- rius, but she was in love with Lysander. In defense she said she knew Helena loved Demetrius. The king gave her four days, in which to make a decision. Hermia and Lysander planned to meet in a wood and Helena told Demetrius of this, so that he QI F one may believe what one hears, the Senior play was one of the cleverest as well would follow them. At this time Oberon and his Queen were having a disagreement about a boy whom Titania would not give to Oberon to be his page. Therefore Oberon planned revenge. Puck, Oberon's favorite, was very fond of cutting pranks and Oberon sent him for a flower, the juice of which laid on the eyelids of one asleep, would cause him to fall in love with the first one he saw when he awoke. Oberon felt a great deal of com- passion for Helena and bade Puck, if he found Demetrius, to anoint the latter's eyes when Helena was near, so that when Demetrius awoke he would fall in love with Helena. Puck made a mistake by anointing the eyes of Lysander who was near Hermia, lying asleep. Lysander awoke and fell in love with Helena, who came through the forest at this time. Demetrius, whose eyes had been anointed also, came and fell in love with Helena, who thought a plot was set to taunt her. Oberon, to undo Puckls mistakes commanded the latter to raise a thick fog and counterfeit the voices of the rival lovers, so that they would think they were following the right person. VVhen Lysander and Demetrius were so weary that they fell asleep Puck anointed their eyes with the juice of another flower, which would cause them to go back to their true loves again. Helena and Hermia were beside them when they awoke in the presence of the King, who consented to the marriages of the lovers. All thought they had had an unpleasant dream and were happy to think it was not a true one. hleanwhile Titania's eyes had also been touched by the juice of this flower and when she awoke she had fallen in love with a man, upon whose head Puck had put the head of an ass. WVhen Oberon had teased Titania, she gave him the boy for a page. After she had fully recovered her senses, she was happy with Oberon again. In the last act there is a tedious brief scene of young Pyramus and his love Thisbe, very tragical mirth given by ruden mechanicals of Athens for the enter- tainment of the King and Queen.

The following month, our services were required at one of the musical entertain- ments at the Congregational Chapel where We competed with those of worth-while talent. This speaks well of our musical ability you will agree, for, no matter how well conducted our organization, we should be doomed to failure if our component parts were unable to extract harmonious melodies from the vocal chords. Of the Glee Club no one can say, I never heard so musical a discord, such sweet thunder, else He that hath no music in himself, nor is touched by the concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.

During our Junior year we chose names, which we thought were characteristic of our players, namely the Readies, Alerts and Invincibles,' and they proved to be talismans worth having. Our first triumph occurred at the annual Senior- Junior basketball games, when we defeated the Seniors, who were so confident that our efforts would be futile. Our Senior year, too, has brought us good fortune. The time honored saying is The Juniors always win at the annual games but every rule has its exception, which accounts for the result. From the first, everything favored us and the Juniors looked on in bewilderment not knowing how to prevent our quick plays. Cheer after cheer, basket following basket brought the stationary ball game to a close with a score of 17 to 0 in our favor. At the end of the regular game the score board read Seniors, 12g Juniors, 0. Later, however, the Juniors developed a team which has put up many a good fight 'waiiist our best lavers but in vain. D fn' P . 1 Among our best girls in the game of regular basketball were the Misses Browning, Harwood, Kellogg, Lacey, Pease, Spencer, Stafford, Sturtevant and Mrs. Findlay. llany games between Taconie Hall Seniors and Juniors have been played and won, the alumni, also, have learned to their sorrow of the prowess of the Class of 191-Lg Miss Raguses's lYorking Girls' Club gave us a score of SQ to 0 and three games between the Drury High School girls and Normal Seniors brought the same victory to our side. lYhether the game was played in tl1e Normal gym or at illark Hopkins seemed to make no difference: our girls were sure and ever on the alert for unexpected plays. Only once have the dignified Seniors been defeated and then only by a strong Combination of quick teachers and the most skillful of the Juniors NORMALOGUE 51 lVe have had many good times to rcmcmhcrg both galnics and dances, which, besides giving us pleasure, will be useful in fixture days. Miss Skcele has given us much for which we thunk her and it is with regret that we face the fact that our days in her charge are over and we leave the gy1n', after many fond falrewells. Our recol- lections of those days so full of fun will be among the happiest we have of Normal life. l Y l L Y ff? g - , , ff' WP, Allfl 1 If 0, gi, ff f X Hifi, ,ak X l I , I 5 flff0lf,5lllfffAclL.N:I I, 'HAM' X f'A 6 ff llf s 1 ff. lf 9 v ff!

VVhenever the Seniors started anything the Juniors gladly followed, but that they should be so venturesome as to begin anything, except fights, was entirely out of the question. At last to some of the more venturesome ones in the class, this dependent con- dition beciame unendurable, so they decided to prove their originality and leadership. ' Consequently, the Tuesday of Commencement week, the Juniors met in one room where they discussed what they might do. A spread! a midnight spread! and on the piazza roof! VVhy not? VVasn't this the last day we were to be here? Even if it were against the rules, we were going to leave the next day anyway so we decided we would have the spread. Large bags, small bags, boxes, and bottles were taken upstairs at all times during the day. Such an array as there was in the room leading on to the piazza. Not a word was said outside, but who could help guessing that something very serious was on foot. Late that night, after lights were out, first one door opened, and then another, as the girls, clothed in slippers, kimonos and coats, quietly slipped from their rooms. Tiptoeing up the stairs and down the hall they came until the sewing room was reached and at last the piazza. Then for stories, but, in the midst of a very funny one, someone discovered Mr. hlurdock down below gazing upwards and pacing up and down. At this moment silence reigned supreme. The thoughts of possible failure and disappointment came and went as the awful minutes passed. Apparently lXIr. hlurdock did not notice us, for he went into his own house, and then all the pent-up energy burst forth into a laugh. After that terrible scare, it was voted to begin eating. Sandwiches, crackers, cookies, olives, pickles, cheese, and ginger ale were seen coming through the window one after the other. Just about this time, the watchman appeared, but he was easily won over by some sandwiches, olives, and ginger ale. Vile had not been discovered yet, but the question was, lVhen would we be? At last every course except the peanut course had been served. Presently, the peanut bag was set in the center of the group, and everyone took a handful,began crackling shells, and eating. Just as the shells were cracking the loudest and tongues were working the fastest, a form appeared in the doorway, and a well-known voice inquired, Vi'hat do you mean by this? You are disturbing the neighborhood with your noise. NVQ- have had 58 NORMALOGUE three telephone calls already about this matter. VVhen you have finished your spread, I think you had better go to bed to sleep an hour at least before arising? The peanuts were eaten, and we dispersed to take Bliss Bugbee's advice. Thus ended the spread. Nina L. Sturlevant. ' 7 S 415 ll 'QX x ' J - xr!-J l i7 171' 3.1 n,ug ,:,,j..-j'i ' XX si? gs' .

Now this king jellyfish had a very beautiful back bone and he was exceedingly proud of it. lVhenever there was a grand parade or procession he would always glide along ahead gracefully swaying his backbone. One time it had been almost a month since he had given any great public affair and he decided it was time he displayed l1is beauty. He thought and thought and planned and planned, and at last he had everything thought out and his plans all made. He decided to give a grand banquet to which everyone was to be invited, not even the poorest little amoeba was to be left out. Accordingly he had flying fishes take mes- sages to everyone in the occa.n kingdom and he employed hundreds of sword fish to build large platforms and still more to construct a magnificent hall of glass. This room was the most wonderful of all for it had mirrors on the floor and mirrors on the wall and mirrors on the ceiling! Every day tl1e jelly fish used to watch the sword fishes at work on this hall and every time he would think, How grand I will look in there, everyone will see me all at once and admire my grace. Oh, I wish they would hurry!', And so he used to urge the builders to hurry their work. At last everything was ready and the day arrived for the water people to assemble on the kingis grounds. They came in schools and they came separately and such a crowd had never before been gathered together in one place. After the last guest had arrived, the king sallied forth, he had waited until thelast moment so as to make a greater impression. He nodded his head condescendingly to the crowds and swam straight for the mirror hall, in which he had planned to deliver an address of welcome. But just as he reached the middle a terrible thing happened! A crash was heard and tl1e lnirrors all began to fall from the ceiling right down upon the proud king jellyfish! He tried to escape but it was impossible and he was crushed to the glassy floor. The guests worked for hours trying to get him out from under the broken glass and when at last they did, he was almost dead and just one shapeless mass. He was ill for a long time but when he was again well he found he no longer had that graceful backbone nor beautiful form but instead he seemed to have no bones at all and no particular form. He was very mournful at first but he finally said, It serves me right for being so conceited. It can't be helpedf, And ever since that time jelly fish have had no bones at all. 60 NQRMALOGUE EJB ELH ELT-NEEE-lli-ll'I-1 BE IEIEEIEEEIIEIEIEEEEIEEEE EEEEEIBIEE EEE EIEEIEI-I-l Eli-IEEIEIEEIEEEIEEIE EE 55 lil 555555555 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 E 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 155555555 'Qrapnnnr in thr Svrninrz CMiss Josephine Cowingj EO the honorable, dignified and scholarly seniors: It is indeed hard to realize that the time for parting is near. Yet the hustling to and fro, practicing class songs and cheers and the bustling about in making preparations for graduation, are strong proof of it. i To you there has been one other, and perhaps a less agreeable proof, namely, being interviewed by various austeer and dignified personages known as superintendents. In the morning, at noon and at night, wherever a group of seniors might be seen,could be heard in stage whispers, Did you see Mr. B.?,' VVere you frightened? IVas I? I was just scared stiffli' Can you guess the appalling effect on the imaginations of the juniors? Really, as we enter next fall among strange students and into a new field of work with its difficult problems, that is the only bugbear ahead of us, unless it be lesson plans. It is from the seniors, however, that the juniors have received many a noble inspiration. W'hen, weary and discouraged by failure to do ourselves justice in our work, it was always some kind senior who would speak cheeringly and we would take heart once more. You have been most gracious in praising our class for aid given you in the glee club, the county fair, and other adairs conducted for the purpose of raising money, and I can say only, that the juniors enjoyed the co-operation and at the same time gained much in the way of management and school spirit. VVe will endeavor not to grow vain under the seniors, song of praise, but you will forgive us if we cherish a certain satisfaction and pride for having been victorious in the event of the year, our annual basketball game. As to the advice given the Taconic girls, we will aspire to live up to the record left behind by the graduating class, although it cannot be promised that we shall be as successful in holding midnight spreadsn in a clothespress. lNIOreover, we shall remember, and impress upon those that take our places, the old proverb, Love not sleep, lest thou lose thy breakfastf, The junior class accepts the name Hseniorv and everything that rightly belongs with that name, and will strive to be all that it implies, performing its duties nobly, as you have done, and thereby gaining power and honor for itself and for this normal school. ' It is often and justly quoted that The best of friends 1nust part, and so it with us as with every preceding and succeeding senior and junior class. The parting will cause sadness, but the seniors have a work to do in this world, and ever will the class of 191-I give a hearty cheer for the class of 1913. v '- . 5.4 0 y Jn , -Q. Mn. nv .

For then the members of the Senior class filled our questioning minds with fearful possibilities, and it was the con- clusion of everyone that she could not long remain in the midst of such requirements. However, it did not take long to discover that our forebodings were groundless and that the faculty were ready to help us instead of watching for opportunities to send us back to our native heaths. History probably repeats itself in the annals of aclass as much as anywhere, but we, pardon our seeming conceit, consider that our record puts that of all previous classes to shame. Ill two short years we have accomplished wonders. As is the usual custom, we were ushered into the school by a reception tendered us by the Class of 1913. To further our acquaintance, we gave a Hallowe'en party at which the ghosts and queer masked creatures caused much jollity. How shocked were some of us to discover that We had pulled the hair or pinched the arm of a mem- ber of the faculty in disguise! But in those early days, we did not know their love of fun as we do now. I In the early spring, We had the opportunity of assisting at the Child Wielfare Exhibit where we learned many painful as Well as interesting things. Incidentally we found out from the kindergarteners how to use old boxes. The trips which we took under the leadership of good lNIr. Guss will not soon be forgotten as, armed with acid bottle, grape basket and hammer, we trudged over the rocky fields of learning. No less enjoyable was our garden work. lVith what glee did we greet the first sprouts, unless we found them in the wrong place! YVith what sorrow did we pull up the weeds! lVith what untiring zeal did we plant rows of corn and with what faithfulness did we water with the rake,', owing to the lack of other irrigating facilities! Neither shall we forget our trips up Greylock and over Hoosac lNIountain, for hir. Smith's stories and hir. Johnsonis sticks made the climbs as easy as walking on the level. Having often felt the lack of shade when, weary with tennis, we would fain have rested, on Arbor Day we planted an ash on the dormitory lawn. It has seemed to appreciate the labor which attended its change of abode Cfor it rained in torrents throughout the ceremonyj and now is so thriving that, when we hold our fiftieth re- union, we hope to have a picnic in its cool refreshing shade. Our last event of the year, after assisting the Seniors to graduate, was a spread, which all our dormitory classmates attended, held on the upper balcony at midnight. It was short-but sweet. 62 NORQIALOGUE After a rest of a couple of months, we met again in September as Seniors. Proiiting by the mistakes of previous classes, we immediately set to work to earn money for future expenses. Our candy sales held every lvedncsday throughout the fall proved very successful. Soon after Christmas, we gave a small play-- An Open Secret, which was enjoyed by participants and onlookers alike. Throughout the last two years, we have also shared i11 our Group Entertainments given by sections of the girls and teachers. These parties to which friends could be invited have given the dormitory girls pleasure a.s well as those in the town when favored with invitations. The two plays, Alice in lYonderland', and A Case of Spoonsf, supervised by Bliss Baright, were very humorous and entertaining. Some pleasing and beautiful pictures with living characters, arranged by Bliss Pearson with her usual artistic touch were greatly admired. A number of the old court dances, reproduced in costume, which carried us back a century were given on Patriot's Day by Miss Waterman, and a cantata, The Fairies of the Seasonsf' under the direction of lNIiss Searle was both pretty to see and to hear. The dancing following these enter- tainments was thoroughly enjoyed by the girls and their friends. Another attractive feature of the year was a talk by Mr. Findlay in which he spoke of Nature Study and the Childf' It was beautifully illustrated by colored slides which he himslf had taken of birds in their natural haunts. Those of us who attended felt as though we had taken a trip with l1i1n to nature's choicest spots. The Senior Play, A lNIidsummer Night's Dream, given the latter part of lNIay, was a fitting climax to the events of the year. All history must end with the present, therefore that of the Class of 191-L ends at its commencement. lvith Browning we may say- Grow old a.long with me!

Annoyed by the lonesome moaning of the wind I seized my paper and glanced at tl1e date-lXIarch Q, 1924. After satisfying myself about the date I proceeded to read. The first thing which attracted my notice was a familiar name printed in glaring headlines-MARION HUTCHINGS COBIING NEXT WEEK-NO GREATER SUCCESS SINCE TETRAZZINI-and then followed a long column telling of her success and prosperity. After reading it my paper fell from hands and I stared into the fire. So,,' thought I, our class presi- dent of the dear old Normal has achieved that for which she so longed. I wonder what the others are doing. Oh, I wish I knew, I said aloud. As I thus mused tl1e wind moaned more loudly than ever, the light fiickered and went out and my paper slid from my knees into the fire before me. It smoldered slowly sending clouds of smoke into the room. As I watched it I was amazed and dumbfounded for, as it settled down, there stood before me a tiny little man, clothed in black from head to foot. He opened his mouth as if to speak but all I could hear was the shrill voice of the wind. IVho are you? I finally gasped. IViseacre IVind, he moaned back, I heard your wish and came to l1umor you. But let us be brjief, my time is limited. Repeat your wish aloud three timesf' I wish I knew what my classmates are doing, I repeated, slowly and firmly, never daring to disobey tl1e queer little man before me. Each time I expressed my wish he whirled around like a top and whistled shrilly through his teeth. At the end of the third spin he clapped his hands three times and without waiting an instant began to talk. They are scattered far and wide and greatly do their occupations differ. Ruth Holden, your vice-president, is busy designing hats for the Holden lVIillinery Company of which she is sole owner.

Helen Flaherty has long since ceased to work as she secured a vast fortune from an invention on the 'Perfect Safe' elevator. Evelyn Kellogg owns a garage in London and is noted as being the only garage owner who personally guides a sight seeing car through that city. Amelia Carbone and Pauline Andrew we find displaying their talents behind the footlights.

Particularly did I want to go at this time because I had heard there was to be a great suffrage parade. I reached my destination safely and soon had a place at the sidelines waiting for the parade to appear. Very soon shouts were heard on all sides and We beheld the suffragettes valiantly marching along with a large banner, Votes for Women,,' carried by one of their leaders. This leader looked strangely familiar to me and as the line neared me I gave a gasp of astonishment for she proved to be none other than our friend and classmate, Lydia Harris! Heedless of my surroundings, I gave one cry and Lydia, turning quickly, recognized me and forgetting everything in her excitement rushed over to Welcome me While the parade passed on. We talked over old times and at last started to walk toward my hotel. It was then that I noticed a large book in Lydia's hand. VVhat, pray, is that? I asked. Oh,', said Lydia, enthusiastically, I have Written this volume, Myths and Stories Every Child Should Knowv and I am giving the proceeds for the good of The Causef, Many of the Normal students have purchased my book which they find very helpful in their work. . I quickly purchased a book and as We had reached our destination I bade Lydia adieu after promising to call upon her before leaving the city. Grace Beeler.

As we are about to leave you, we Can only express our sentiments by saying, VVe may build more splendid habitations, Fill our rooms with paintings and with sculptures, But we cannot Buy with gold the old associations! If you ask, Who has helped to make our entertainments such a pleasure? Who has so siatisfactorily furnished us with music on Friday mornings during chapel? Who has so willingly assisted us in our Glee Club? Who has so cheerfully supported our games of regular and stationary basketball? 1Ve can only answer, The Juniors. But these are only a few of the many things to which you have given your hearty assistance. Particularly, in the regular and stationary basketball games you have shown great skill in goal throwing, speed in passing and alertness in guarding and we realize that you have many promising players. Although we won in the annual Junior-Senior contest, you took your defeat in a pleasant, good humored manner and since that time you have willingly helped us in our games against outside teams. For all your assistance and good cheer in all these you have our greatest appre- ciations, and we wish to thank you most heartily. Wie have passed one happy year with you as companions, friends, and schoolmates and before bidding you farewell, we wish to inform you concerning a few of your duties after you become Seniors. First, if you wear a hat whenever you pass to and from the training school, your hair will be in a neat condition, thus you will have one less thing about which to worry and you will not cause the teachers to wear away so many pencils writing criticisms on your appearance. Second, if you ever dramatize the historical scene, in which the liberty bell was rung, and if you put your hearts and souls into the work as we did, you will succeed better by sparing the electric light cords. Third, if you are prompt in going to classes, handing in lessons and in other things, you will thus set a good example for the class, which is to follow you. Fourth, if you keep the rooms and also your desks in a neat, orderly condition, you will form good habits, which are not easily broken. Be honest-both in word and act, Be strictly truthful through and through, Fact cannot fail-you stick to fact, And fact will stick to you. Do right your utmost-good must. come To you who do your level best Your Very hopes will help you some, And work will do the rest. And now farewell! That great happiness, success, and prosperity in your work during your Senior year and time to come may be yours is the wish of the Class of 1914.

To owners of cow barns, horse stables, etc., which we visited-our greatest thanks for interesting things shown us there and knowledge gained. To the Juniors-The honored and glorious name of Seniors with the hope that they will be more deserving of the adjective, dignified, before it than we have been and that they will remember that their first duty will be to set a good example to those coming in September. Other and various pleasures such as psychology, teaching, and history of educa- tion, together with many pleasant trips with Miss Skeele, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Guss. The enjoyment of getting up lNIan Dancesl' and other entertainments which will surely fall to their lot. The undeniable pleasure of preparing a class book and class play.

ND like the beautiful ivy that reaches out in all directions even to the farthest tops of the branches of trees or covers in profusion some vast expanse of walls, may our own lives enriched and encouraged by the noble precepts and examples which have surrounded us for the last two years, influence other lives and bring to them beauty and lofty ideals. Each difficulty overcomeg each hard lesson successfully learnedg each new friend gainedg each high ideal presented, in fact every incident that has happened during our two years here has left an impression not soon to be forgotten, but, perhaps, no incident will remain more fixed in our minds than that of planting the ivy. ' When the beautiful nymph, Da.phine, after many struggles called upon her power- ful father, the ruler of the ocean, for a boon, he heard her prayer and turned her into a laurel tree which ever since has been looked upon as a symbol of victory and triumph. So our class after our two years of earnest toil and patient striving pray that our class spirit may be transmitted into this ivy and ever remain as a symbol of our love and loyalty to our Alma lllater. May our ideals, like the tendrils that grow ever outward, upward, and onward reaching over new spaces, beautifying and enriching them, beautify and enrich the lives of others. May our love, as the roots that grow deeper and deeper, taking a firmer hold in this great world of ours, grow stronger and more far reaching. For surely Hugh Black was right when he said, Life is to love, not to be loved, to give, not to get, to serve not to be served. As the ivy covers unsightly walls, decaying stumps, and other unlovely places, so charity, which is 1'eally love, covers a multitude of sinsl' and to keep our own ideals pure, we have to be charitable and patient. Faith is another virtue which the ivy symbolizes. For does not its clinging nature show a faith in the object to which it clings? Thus we learn never to give up but al- ways have faith that we may be able to beautify and refine the lives with which we come in contact. To-day, my dear friends and schoolmates, we plant the ivy with the ardent wish that in years to come all may enjoy the great profusion of its beautiful leaves and tendrils which, when Autumn comes, change from green into gold, crimson, and russet- brown, being even more beautiful than in their spring freshness, and as those who follow us look upon its loveliness they may be reminded of our class which will cling to its Alma Mater even as the vine will cling to its beloved walls.

Let us all go in together and see what it is like. We are awakened in the morning by the gong that rings about 6.30. A few take that as only a warning and turn over to wait for the seven o'clock whistle to blow before getting up, but many, fatigued with a night's rest, spring up then and start to prepare for the day. Perhaps there is a stray one here and there who, having found she needed a good deal of mental exercise, has risen at the call of the watchman to obtain it. Breakfast is called at 7.15 and we all partake of a dish of cereal, a muffin, an egg and some coffee C? PD. Back to our rooms we go then and hurriedly put them in order, pushing things under the bed, study-table, or in the bookcase whose charitable curtains hide all-good or evil. At 8 o'clock we begin to study. Lifting our eyes to the friendly clock QD we note it is 8.55. Breathlessly we rush to chapel, throw our books into our desks, sing hymns Chtitmsj we never saw, listen to the words of wisdom that fall from our Oracle's lips, perhaps sing, Lift Thine Eyes, then on our way to training school forget that in- junction and lift our feet in a mad Wild dash C? P ? ?j to reach ltlark Hopkins. Here we teach to wiggling, squirming little mortals all we have in our lesson plans as stated under Content, whether it be in Store Arithmetic, Art, Life Cycle of a Seed, lilexican VVar, the melodious little ditty of Hididdle Diddle or Grammar. At 12.03 Mr. Murdock dismisses us from Psychology and we run to the dormitory, clown the dark halls, scanning the floor in front of our door for an epistle which any kind friend might have sent. A light and dainty lunch is served of pea soup, bean salad, and tea at 19.15, after which we return to our rooms and resume study. Again our faithful clock ticks away the moments instinctively notifying us at 1.25 so we run back to school for classes. From then until 4- o'clock we are all kept out of mischief by various instruc- tors and we are trying to become artists, orators, or to follow lNIadam lNIontessori's method C? Pj. The time from 4-6 P. M. is our own to use as wisely and as sparingly as we can and true it is that we need that in which to start work for another day that it may show clear thinking and definite planning. At 6 oiclock the long looked for bell is heard and people are seen wending their way to the dining room to appease their hunger with steak, mashed potatoes, beets aud heavenly hashi' four famous Normal dish.j This finished, we adjourn to the dance hall where we indulge in Tangoes, One Steps, Hesitations, and Grizzly Bears Q?j behind the back of watchful chaperon. W-c,dc cccQY9j?9'f5POQUE 75 7.15 comes only too soon and we find ourselves plodding towards our respective rooms with :L slow hut steady pace. These are the hours in which we compose those tedious lesson plans, essays on hlorall Developnienls, przmcliee our orzmtions to the Gettysburg veterzrns, or sew. At 9.30 eonie the slzunniing of doors, traliniping of feet, feminine shrieks floating down to us from the third floor, all telling us that study hour is over for sonie, but not for the weary-eyed Senior Kindergarteners. 10.10 brings the welcome release to even these tired souls when the nionitor wraps on our door and we hear, Lights out!
