FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 6 just a few weeks left to vacation and those pageants must be in--the bulle- tin boards tell the story of the great energy that has been put forth by the sophs. The worst part of the whole affair is that it leaves no room for the lost and found column. Ask Foxy, Yoke, or Shurgot of their pageant trou- bles. Phi Delts have pledging and a breakfast at Antlers. Friday-Assembly. Washington program-Big Minuet by a band of Sophs. Ask Alma l-lilmer about her minuet troubles. Girls wore long dresses, while the boys strutted about in knee pants. Little Willy Shurgot looked just like George Washing- ton-when he was a boy. Frank McCarthy, Freshman, gives a piano selec- tion. Speeches were delivered by Messrs. Powers and Plag. MARCH 6-13 Thursday-the followers of Normal lost one of their best fellows, Gerhardt Haase, who died, following an operation performed after his fall from the horizontal bar, during the Advanced Apparatus period. We shall always hold him in our memory as a good fellow and student. Winning two games in a row is unbelievable-but they did it-thus clos- ing a fairly good basketball season. Our winged men went to Cincinnati to participate in an A. A. U. meet. Too bad our boys were not in the mood as only Red Pump and Art Wer- der placed. Leander Gordon was asked by Mr. Rinsch if he could remember his first kiss-between blushes and big boyish grins fArt's a man nowj he an- nounced I donlt remember . He thought he was on the stand. Mrs. Hester is still sick. To end the week, we, the Sophs, under the direction of Dr. Sputh, visited the calves, horses, guinea pigs, and dogs at the Eli Lily plant. Eleanor Richwine and Agnes Rapp, unable to bear up under the odor of the kennels waited outside during the visit to the guinea pigs. Ghost and Solitary craze has hit the dorm to stay. MARCH 13-20 Page Saint Patricks Day found all the Irish of Normal College flying their colors. Thelma Meyers falls down dressing room stairs and what a noise-she al- most stopped a floor class. Incidentally Thelma is on a diet. Girls will be girls. Mrs. Hester is in the hospital and the seniors take over her classes. AIVC hope she will be back again on the job in the near future. She seems a part of the school now. Sophs are still working hard on pageant. All the boys in Lee's commit- tee are looking for a wash day dance-but no soap. Big A. A. U. meet at N. A. G. U. Two Normal boys, Ted O'Donnell and Ed Sturni take first and second in all round, Big dance afterward up in our small gym. All Student Association have meeting followed by a dance in the small gym. VVe hope we have more of these affairs. jli-11.l1-11-i ,l.i .-l- Eiglzty-four

MARCH 20-26 March is going out like a lion. Snow is a common occurence now. Last week before Spring vacation! Lucille Jost and Lorry Miller are packed already. Helen Walker and Rose Stahl are wondering whether or not they should take their curtains down this year or just wait until next year. Friday night-Junior Entertainment. Who shall ever forget Murph Mineo as the sweetheart of Barnacle Bill the Sailor, enacted by Arthur Werder. What a pair. Dorothy Rath and Fred Plag were married tMockD among brickbats, basketballs and old shoes. Len Pielmeier was the vampire of the evening. Immediately following-a Hard Time Farewell Dance. Ruth Wolters takes lirst place for girls-Rifano for the boys, while Fred Flag romps away with the Booby prize. Saturday morning all the elite of the school set forth on their long jour- ney in high powered cars. By the way, one of our speed demons, in his death car, had a wreck. Guess who? This was preceded by Eakin and Earnest busting up their car. The instinct of rivalry even in smashing cars, is very strong here at N. A. G. U. APRIL 4-11 Back again after a whole week of vacation. Everyone comes back with their new spring duds. Big News! Bud Nicolett has leaped into the sea of matrimony. Boys will be boys. The Misses Swart and Bachman fail to show up the first day but just give them time. Work galore. Tests galore. D'Nies is still going strong in his Sophomore Free Ex. Class. The I-loodlums always seem to be dropping Indian Clubs. Ask D'N ies. Freshmen go out on playgrounds. Lorry Miller struts downstairs in high heels--and struts back to change. Sophs get exhibition work for their practice teaching. Group Teaching-Dean corrects Freshmen while making criticisms three times but to no avail. I-lerman tops the other three by making the same mistakes. Dean Rath intimated that he was used to teaching dumbbells. Woncler what he means. Phi Epsilon Kappa have Founders' Day Dance. Many of the Alums were present. Mr. and Mrs. Rath, and Dr. and Mrs. Sputh were guests. The evening was topped off with a square dance. ' Pa 10 Eiglity-.vix 1- -.1-u-1:1
