P0927 311: Ziortyrr PREFACE Having been much impressed with the fame of certain other institutions of learning through their annals, it seemed the part of wisdom to the authors of this work to snatch, as it were, from the tomb of oblivion the record of our own great educational institution, which graces the broad prairies of our fair state, and especially that period of its history presided over by the great class of the Northern Normal School. To the appreciative public this volume is respectfully submitted with the hope that it will prove a veritable cyclopedia of knowledge, condensed to such form as may conveniently be transported in the pockets, recommended by scientific authority. To our general readers and friends of the institution, it is our desire to impart relief from their melancholy moments, and to future genera- tions of students who shall with difficulty fill the places of their predecessors, an example Worthy of their close consideration and emulation. In the compiling of this work, no model has been followed. In fact, to the careful observer it will be found quite without parallel. For the convenience of the reader, it has been divided into seven parts. In the first of these, knowing the interest that would necessarily be awakened in the minds of our intelligent readers, the authors have taken the liberty to insert a number of beautiful engrav- ings bearing some resemblance to themselves and their instructors, as a fitting introduction to the volume. In this connection will also be found pages with the inscriptions Juniors and Freshmen, bearing the names of divers per- sonages who are prepared to witness to the utter veracity of every detail of the book. Believing that our high mental state is attributable in part to physical excellence, a second part has been devoted to athletics. Still another portion will be found to be given over to organizations and events, a department, which, to the teacher who is destined to be a social leader as well, should be of infinite value. A fourth section will be found to contain carefully chosen literary selec- tions, not the works of noted authors, it is true, but of unknown writers whom it has been our part to bring before the public eye. The gems herein contained should be the permanent possession of every school-boy in the land. The re- maining sections are a record of the deeds of conspicuous persons who deserve honorable mention for sundry pleasantries they have afforded us. The volume thruout will be found to be very richly illuminated, several gallons of India ink having been consumed in its preparation. The aforesaid work is the result of three long and lonely years of labor, in which the great class has borne the brunt of all manner of adverse criticism, even to the extent of being accused of asceticism and barbarian lack of imagina- ZHJ1' iiortbrr Paw tion. For while the intellects of the common throng dozed over biology, psychol- ogy and other matters of light import, the authors of this stupendous work still labored untiringly, burning the forbidden oil in their noble zeal to uplift their profession and add renown to their school. The task was one demanding erudite research in all departments of human knowledge. At times the library has been almost destitute of books, so vast was the number of authors consulted. It has involved penetration into the profoundest realms of Aristotelian thought in order to comprehend and present adequate explanation of some of the Faculty's jokes. The masterly style of these pages has been acquired only after protracted sieges of rhetoric and grammar. And though hampered by the limitations of the English language, the mother-tongue has still been dragged into rhythmic form and adjusted by the sweat of our brows in the making over of old themes. Long and wearisome pilgrimages have been made to the center of culture for the study of the drama and all forms of literary merit in order to better please the aesthetic public. Six-nines have been accepted cheerfully as the reward of neglected lessons. In fact, careful experimentation has shown that the energy expended on a single page of this volume has been sufficient to reduce the Nissl bodies from twenty to fifty per cent of their normal size. All this and much more the authors have accomplished with unwavering enthusiasm. No reward for our labors has been anticipated, the writers despising the base pecuniary compensation which, to the pedagogue, is so trifling a matter, and being assured from the intelligence of their readers that the date is not far hence when their monuments shall crown the terraces of our Alma Mater. And so, gentle reader, when the genius of other great minds palls on thee, lay down thy ponderous Angell or Monroe, and peruse for an hour or two these refreshing pages. And when thou learnest their content, perchance thou wilt shed a tear over the untimely Hunks in history of education, the unreasonable- ness of the geometry class and many similar disasters which may be traced to the marvelous concentration upon this task. But should thy superior knowledge find aught amiss in its content, do thou treasure it secretly in thy heart, lest the super- ficial throng deem thee overcritical. But if thou utter any complaint concerning it, be sure that it be to the succeeding class of Seniors and Annual makers, by whom all suggestions will be gratefully received. N. I. S. N. S. winter storm-Winds hardest blow Where summer sunsets brightest Glow, Where the little children go. Thou standest, City on the Hill, X Tall grey towers, ealm and still. Earnestly those towers rise, Meaningly reach toward the skies, With them the hope of many lies. C And high and Calm they rise in air, And grave and quiet guard they there. Dear Mother school, do thou impart With what thou givest of power and art, Thyself unto each student heart. Something of thy calm, high beauty Grant us ere we part from thee, Something of thy queenly stillness, Something of thy dignity. NIILDRED CAMPBELL 77 sy a W 'w A 'F iw '?fIx.

Zhu' ilortbcr Pagan MODEL LESSON PLAIV FOR CLASS OF ,08 Teaclzefs Aim. This series of three lessons, planned for the class gradu- ating in 1908, has been Worked out with a view to the development, in the pupils, of the ability to give parties, banquets, circuses, dramas, and all social functions, and to outdo all preceding classes in these affairs. It has also had in view the training of athletes of such excellence that not only the '08 teams, but all the Normal teams, should be composed, in the main, of '08 men. Incidentally, there has also been the purpose of sending forth great educators, who will be of really invaluable service to the World. Pujzifs Axim. The pupil's aim has coincided exactly with the teacher's aim at all times. LESSON I. Subject M aiier. A Freshman Class, ordinary-extraordinary. Motive. The motive during this year was confined more especially to athletics, light comedies, and some training in the rudiments of pedagogy. Results. A good representation of Freshmen in all athletic teams. A winning Freshman basket ball team. A frog exhibition which augured Well for future dramatic achievements. A magnanimous spirit, exemplified by the presentation of beautiful pieces of sculpturing to the school. LESSON 11. Note. The addition to the class of about sixty new members of remarkable ability and spirit. Teaclzefs Arima. Same as before, with special emphasis on the development of social ability in the class. Athletics occupy almost the same prominence, and the instruction of the youth is shoved into the background. Pupifs Aim. Always same as teacher's. Results. Seven representatives on the Football team. Six members of the baseball team. The entire basket ball team made up of '08 men. The best St. Patrick's party ever given in Ireland or America. The best Iunior play ever seen. P09845 Ztbv Zliortbrr A Junior banquet where the excellence of the toasts excited universal admiration. Some added ability in the art of teaching the young. LESSON HI. Teachefs Aim. The Same. Social and athletic features retain their prominence, but the practice of pedagogy and training for World service shows a decided increase in importance. Pupifs Aim. In addition to the teacher's aim, the pupil aims to secure a field for the future operation of his ability as a pedagogue. Results. A Senior children's party which outshone all former attempts. Theopportunity to the school and the community of seeing the Ben Greet players of world-wide reputation. A Senior circus that pleased more people and made more money than any other Normal enterprise ever undertaken. A Senior banquet which exceeded, in point of excellence and toasts, every other such function in history. A complete dominance of athletics by the Seniors. Great and interesting Commencement day. Every Senior gets a good position. Seventy-live dollars per month the minimum. The Normal School completely heartbroken at their leaving. D11 Cook says: The Class of 1908 was a living embodiment of our motto, Stand By.'l Mr. Gilbert says: The teaching force of the state will be almost doubled, in point of efliciency, by the great mass of new influence brought to bear upon it by this graduating class. .lllllllllRS af., .AA as K it 2 ix I rd it ?p o NAME.

The sounds of a guitar reach the ears, and across the rustic bridge we see three dusky-faced musicians strolling to serenade their lady love, who listens from a window of her cabin. She sings her reply in tones filled with sentiment and sadness. As they depart, the faint, sweet strains of their voices and instruments are lost in the distance. Out of this dreamy, romantic atmosphere we are aroused by the loud blast of a horn calling the laborers of the plantation to work long before dawn. The bare-footed, yawning natives, with broad-brimmed hats and scant clothing, go leisurely at their work among the grass and weeds, lounging when the over- seer's back is turned, plying their machetii diligently while he watches. In the background beyond the fields, in that sunny land, are smoldering volcanoes, blooming scarlet flowers, and wonderful trees which yield bananas, peanuts, pineapples and sausages at the same time. At the creek near by, the women wash their clothes, singing happily, while they feed the fat little baby on the fruits from the trees. Suddenly the singing ceases, work stops, and all gape at the noble person- age who approaches. He is the great, progressive President Diaz, who is tour- ing his country in search of an able superintendent of education. The over- seer, with bows and gestures of welcome, comes toward him, and thru an inter- preter tells him of just the man to fill the place, who, also, has a great number of capable and wise helpers. Overjoyed at this good fortune, the president sends a dispatch for them to come. Within a few weeks' time, they arrive and prove to be the Juniors of ,o8, under the leadership of Mr. Irwin Madden. As soon as they are in Mexico, the air suddenly grows chilly, and Mr. Whitten, who is there with a company of green-clad children, offers this explanation. Since the Juniors have left Illinois, the great mass of intellect transferred to this region would naturally cause an unbalancing of the universe. So a glacier is approaching from the icy north to establish the equilibrium, and within a few days, it will strike Mexico. He is a good prophet, for even now the ice sheet is here and from it - amazing sight! - are dug Senior after Senior, who went to the North Pole the previous year in the air ship. Faculty, too, are pulled out in stiff, undignified postures. The Juniors have great sport with them until they finally take pity on their frozen condition, and hustle them to a Junior meeting to warm up. The next day the Seniors apply at Dr. Shoop's native schools for teachers' certificates. Mr. Parsons, Mr. Page and Madelina Starengeno are the board Pf19e55 Erbs Ziortbrr 6-'iii -4-' MEXICANS AND FRESHIES. JUNIOR PLAY. JUNE 17. 1937 Zhu' iiortber P99656 of directors. Upon being examined, the seniors prove very incompetent and Madelina, with her awful thumb and upturned nose Floonks them all. They are not even capable of reciting Mother Goose Rhymes. Suddenly, in the midst of the examinations, an infuriated bull rushes thru the school in mad pursuit of a brilliant, glowing head. The baby cries, the girls' shriek, the Seniors flee, but a junior boy stabs the creature in the heart and he falls dead. When the tumult has ceased, down the road come sounds of an automo- bile horn, familiar to all Normal students. In a few moments in walks the one person on earth least expected and most Welcome, Dr. Cook. Such cheering and welcoming has not been heard since the juniors came. The tire of his machine is punctured. The resourceful natives, who have lately developed Juniorism thru contact, go to a rubber tree, tap it and, presto, changol a fine, smooth, round tire comes out ready for the wheel. As a reward for their hard work and industry, the President bestows on each one of the illustrious class of '08, the title of B. E.- not Bachelor of Edu- cation, but Best Ever. Farewell, our Junior days, Glad days of long ago, Gft in the future years W armly our hearts will glow, When we recall the joys, We lived, but little knew Then will our every thought Turn back, glad days, to you.

Mr. Charles keeps things a-moving, He is Freddy-on-the-spot! Do you think that we'll forget him, Well, I guess not! l' 'Twas thus we sang his praises In our care-free Junior days, And we shall ne'er forget him, But give him gratitude always. To all our Senior work and play, He gave his thought and skill. Wc've found in him a guide and aid, Our good friend still. OUR FRESHJIAN Dil Y The time had now come, when we, the Freshmen of 'L Naughty-Nine were to show the Seniors, Faculty, and especially the proud juniors of ,O8 what we could do, and we showed them. We undertook with great ease a work that even the wise-looking Seniors have trouble with -the publishing of an Annual. In the afternoon before the time for our exercises, we, Freshmen, dressed like children with green bows, ties, and ribbon, waving our colors, went around the addition with drums, singing: We want everybody to come and see Our little Freshman stunt. Juniors, Seniors, Faculty and all must come! Follow us up and you will see - The Iuniors? No you won't! But you'll see the Freshmen do their little stunt. By the time we reached the Normal, people had already gathered in the study hall, so we began our exercises. Then the meeting for the publication of our 'fAnnual', was called. Materials of various kinds were suggestedg most of these, jokes on the rollicking Juniors who were present in the gathering. These jokes were put into the division of the UAnnual, f'The Junior Barbsf' Our newly entered Freshmen C, the greenest of the classes, shared some of their knowledge to show what they could do. Every now and then songs were sung, and yells were given. When we had gathered all the materials for our Annual,l' we closed our exercises by presenting to the school in memory of the Freshman Class of Naughty-Nine the Morning that hangs in the study hall and the piece of frieze which is the continuation of the frieze given by the Freshman of ,o8. This was responded to by Dr. Cook, who gave his many thanks to us and congratulated us on our work. Such is the story of our Freshman Day. SANTIAGO L. B.-XUTISTA.

I will tell you quietly that a great malady or epidemic has swept over our show, and has removed from our midst certain of our famous creatures, and has left several of our animal wagons empty and unfilled. Now, if there is some ambitious lady or gentleman, boy or girl, who would like to try a hand at being a cage of kangaroos, or a group of Arctic seals, just step inside of one of these capacious wagons, and make yourself feel like a squirrel, or an auk, and do the best you can. Iust one more. All right, this lady right here. Now, to you who have missed this excellent opportunity, I would say that when this epidemic struck our great herd of white elephants, it removed each and every one of them from our midst, except as we have preserved the outermost cuticle or skin of these creatures, and say, if any two people here wish to combine in entering this earthly house where formerly dwelt a mighty beast, and make a noise like a Belgian hare, they also may see the show free of charge. Ah, yes, I knew that would take. Now, I think they are all ready, and I can see no obstruction to our immediate and continued progress. Mr. Professor, kindly strike up our national air. All right, bust the biscuit. Now, since you are not in position to see our big show, I will endeavor to keep you in touch with our big acts as they are put upon the board. just now on our left you might see, if you were in my position, De Capito, absolutely the only man on earth who can, by his wonderful mesmeric power, so render any part of the body void of feeling that he may remove it from his subject without pain. He is now exhibiting several boys and girls whose heads, arms, or feet he has removed. Next to him we see a wild man chewing upon the raw bones of some poor Freshman who tried to hand him an ice cream eone. Next come the Siamese twins, whom we picked up out here at Maple Park, where they were being employed as the book-keepers in a shooting gallery. Now, we can see an important looking gentleman, with a loud voice and a megaphone. Kindly keep your hands tightly upon your poeketbooks, while we pass by in his proximity. Right there before you is the strong man, who tosses out a thousand pounds of metal at one single convulsion of his great forearm, while La Belle Fatima coils poisonous reptiles about her neck, and amuses herself and her friends by biting off their heads. There, in the middle, Page64 'N THE RINGTAIL BROS.

U Now, if we should pass out the large entrance, and up the spacious hall- way to the place marked Auditor Bijou, a strange spectacle might meet our gaze. There young lovers stroll down the pathway, Scottish lasses do the Highland Fling, pretty misses whistle and dance, and ridiculous tramp come- dians convulse everyone with their excellent jokes. At frequent intervals, loud and insistent bursts of applause rencl the evening air, while the Ringtail Band plays all the latest and most popular pieces. Now, ladies and gentlemen, thanking you again and again for your excel- lent accommodation and service, and hoping that you have seen every detail of the big show, I will bid you a tender good night and good bye. WARREN lXlADDEN. Eye Zlortijcr PGW65 THE CHILDREZWS PARTY The children gave a party. Sunbonnet babies, overall boys, old-fashioned children, darkey children, Chinese babies, Japanese babies, all came. But the climax of the coming was the entrance of a very large family. There were the grandmother, with her little White cap, the mother, the maiden aunts, and so many little boys and girls, that the other children were rather noisy in getting acquainted with them. The children liked best to Watch the little boy with the wooden horse. He had his horse Well trained and the children crowded about him to see it. The horse was performing his liveliest when a commotion arose at the other end of the gymnasium, where a very tall girl was frantically looking for her small brother. His collar was so large and he was so little that he had been easily lost. He was glad when he found his sister, but she was not happy for no one had asked her to play, although she had brought her music. The little boy with the large, White collar was hardly quiet when a pathetic wail was heard from another boy He Was too large a boy to be crying so, and his tiny sister spent most of her evening trying to amuse and comfort him. All this time the little darkey girls were making merriment with their smiling face and funny speeches. Some of the little boys brought their Wagons and all the little girls Wanted to ride at the same time. One little girl was the source of envy because she had a gold ring tied on with a beautiful blue ribbon. Indeed the children al- most forgot their manners, especially at school when Tommy Get There pulled Dottie Dimple's hair. But finally they happily gathered in circles to eat their animal cookies and ice cream, and then they danced about the room until the grandmother looked over her spectacles and said it was time to go home.

And it is into this realm of enchanting beauty and mystery that we of the Biological Club have desired to enter. It has been our steadfast aim to learn what others have discovered before us, to ourselves live near to natureis heart and not to become so engrossed in monot- onous round of daily duties as to be oblivious of the sublime symphony of a creation which has gone on for ages past and is still uninished. The Club began its career as an organization on january the tenth. In the second week of its existence something happened which proved beyond a doubt that the Biological Club represented no transient outburst of enthu- siasm. The meetings were forbidden on the ground that they occupied time which should be used for other purposes. But the members revealed such an unshaken loyalty and such a firmness of purpose that soon the well meant objections apparently melted into thin air and the club went on its way rejoicing. Altho a few members dropped from our ranks at this crisis, the general interest increased. As ever, the struggle for existence resulted in the survival of the fittest. Ours is neither a pure nature study club nor one devoted exclusively to scientific study, but as the name indicates it embraces in its scope both of these. Winter and rough weatheri' were no enemy to us when we fiounderecl merrily thru the drifts on some Saturday afternoon to gather around the cheerful grate- fire at Mr. Charles' or at one of our other favorite haunts for a delightful indoor meeting. But when the first tinge of green appeared we resorted to Dame Nature's own treasure house - the grove and the hill side. XVe feel after one of these woodland meetings that we, too, can truly say: I love not man the less, but nature more. Many will be the pleasant memories in after years of our spirited tire-side gatherings and of the tempting aroma of cotlee boiling over the crackling camp- lire in the woods where sugar was an accessory and even a coffee-pot an article easily dispensed with. Nor can ive ever forget our enthusiastic leader and fellow member who has made all this possible and opened before our eyes a new world rich in beauty and fraught with an ever increasing fascination.

He has to smile at all our oldest jokes, Hels got to be accommodatin' all the while, He's got to wait for money from that letter from the folks, I An' he'll carry your old suitcase for upwards of a mile. So herels to you, club steward, though we're always owin' you. You always jolly up the folks when things are lookin' blueg An' though we're broke because o' you 'most ev'ry Tuesday night, XVe know that when you do a thing, you do it up just right. An' when again our train De Kalb draws near, VVe hear once more the anxious, oft repeated call, t'Normal students? Board and room engaged? Right here. tHe has to wait impatient ,fore he collars one at all.j Of course his club is sure to be the best, If on Augusta, Locust Street or College Avenue, For it he labors strenuous, answers each request. To get his tables and the club rooms filled anew So here's to you, club steward, to your easy smilin' ways, You make the homesick feel at home in early Normal days. You're rivals, but in ev'rything youire certain on the square An' if you win more students, you're sure to do it fair. An' though there's many things that we'll forget, That happened while we worked and studied here. It's a sure thing that we never shall regret, That we met him in our verdant Freshman year. He's the one that's never heard to knock, 'Cause that wouldn't be the thing to do at all, An' the smile that lingers on his face, XVould melt those stiff old griiiins oli o' Normal's wall. So here's to you, club steward, for we like you most immense, An' if we had to lose you, we'd feel like thirty cents. Youlre a worker, you're a daisy, you're the best we've ever seen, You're a mixer, you're an athlete, and you play on ev'ry team.

Though we were a band of Juniors last year, we have this one Alumni member. We expect him to achieve some renown to reflect upon the rest of us. Our Matriarch, Miss Elizabeth Tennant, started us on our patriotic career. Miss Rose Huhf made us The Patriots. But we should never have had a right to the title Patriarchs, had not Miss Charlotte Huhf gathered followers unto us from the other classes and from the uttermost parts of the earth. M. H.

Hear, ye maidens, and give ear, young men. For ye too may come. But be not disconsolate, neither grumble nor hold back. When that the time doth come wherein your pitchpipe doth forget you, and ye yourselves remember him not-no, nor academy song-book, and the time wherein ye too must teach a childish song, and ye frightedly gaze round and ope your mouth, but ye see none, neither doth a mighty sound come from you. ' Groan not when ye see blank pages in the eastern room and a voice com- mands you: Write. Neither shall ye scowl, neither be wrathful, when that the landlady doth reprove you for disturbing her, yea, both her and your house- mates talbeit ye are but practicing your music lessonlg for I say unto you, all these things must needs be. But be of good courage QI know whereof I speakj, for many are we who have endured and despaired not tsave at sundry timesj. Yea, behold how fearless are all those in song, Who have continued steadfast and have prevailed. Oh, my brethren, ye know not what pleasure is in our music, what strength cometh from a noble hymn, what brightness ariseth by reason of our cheery laughter-songs. Ye need not to be solemn, neither at all times serious, for the same book holdeth the little tin soldier and Addison. Then come ye, all who will love music too, and gather yourselves together, ye young men and maidensg for the towers of learning, even the east tower also, rise also for you. Behold I have said.

Once again we seem to see Days that long have ceased to be. Broiclered vest and powdered queue Silken hose and buckled shoe Mingled with the rare brocade Of matron or of Winsome maid. Lately has the soldier known The storm by winds of battle blown, Now with his country's daughters met He treads the stately minuet. Lately has the soldier's steel Been raised to work his country's weal, But now those swords, aloft in air, A bright arch form for dancers fair. For these few hours have we our Way Turned back into the Yesterday. We'x'e mingled with the quaint-gowned throngs VVe've listened to the sweet, old songs.

The material was good, but it appeared early in the season that there were two or three weak spots which could not be strengthened, and it was against these spots the oppo- nents ma'de their gains throughout the season. This, together with the inability to get all the men together for team work, delayed the development of a smooth- ly running machine till almost the last game. Our first game was played against the strong Rockford eleven, fresh from their victory over Beloit Col- lege, and while the score was QQ to o against us, the game was hard fought. The next game was with the Alumni, and this was lost by the smallest possible margin, 6 - 5. On October 26, the old Normal team, the college champions of Illinois, came to Glidden Field. In the first half they scored eighteen points, but in the second the boys rallied and with Kays' magnificent punting held their heavier antagonists to no score, the game ending 18 - o. At Elgin the team showed fine bursts of form, but these did not come often enough and Elgin won, rr - 5. The next game was a walkaway for Normal. The light St. Charles team had no show at all, as the score, SQ -o, tells. The season closed with a fine game at Platteville, Wis. Here, for the first time, the team showed consistent team work and deserved victory, if hard, steady playing by every man could have won - but a tie score was the best that could be made, o - o.

The Juniors, thinking to enhance the glory of their prospective victory by vanquishing opponents of greater fame, formed their eligibility rules in such a way that the learned Faculty might enter a team if they so desired. The Faculty, thinking that a wreath of victory might yet become their noble brows, immediately accepted the chal- lenge and entered a team. Mr. Charles, ever the patron saint of the Iuniors, undertook the responsi- bility of running off the meet. The first event of the meet was the potato race, an event requiring the utmost concentration of energy, steadiness of nerve as well as speed. Dr. McMurry seemed to have lost none of his pristine agility and easily took first. The potato race for girls was run in very poor form and won by the juniors. The second event was the shot put, an exercise especially designed for the development of poise and symmetry and complete co-ordination in physical development. Kays, the Senior entrant, was an easy winner. The next event was the low hurdles, in which the loquacious Miss Thacka- berry exceeded all others in her ability to loquate, and won in a walk. The wheelbarrow race came next. The Seniors entered a German car, especially designed for them, with a view to endurance and speed and which being cleverly driven by a Filipino chauffeur, completed the course first. The last event, the relay race, an event which has the merit of including a great number on each team, thus developing team-work, was won by the Freshmen. After a computation of points won by each team, it was seen that the Fac- ulty and Seniors tied for first place. A coin was tossed to determine the win- ner and the Faculty won. A very beautiful loving cup was presented to the winning team, Mr. Charles making the presentation speech, Mr. McMurry receiving it in behalf of the Faculty. The winner of first place in each event, was presented with a medal as an emblem of victory. The meet was a decided success and the juniors are to be congratulated upon the originality displayed in the choice of programme, and the novel method of decoration used. The two terms they spent in planning brought splendid results. .4 OUR RECRUITS New girls Came, as now rncs will, Tiptoccl in so nice and still, Told Miss Fostcr, at hcr call Thcy would all lcarn basket-ball.

ZoE lXllCLVII,LIC The Season's Record ALUMNI PLAY FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. At De Kalb last night, our Alumni girls were given their tirst defeat of the year. The game was hardly contested, but the Normal team proved too strong for our somewhat lighter aggregation. The work of the Normal girls should be commended, for at all points of the game the team was in the highest form. The quick team work and steady basket throwing of the forwards were too much to overcome, although our plucky little guards played an extremely fast game. The game ended with a score of 2-23.-Alumni fcstcr. LOST IN BIG HALL DEFEAT DUE TO OVERCONFIDENCE. NORMAL STARTS SEASON WITH BRIL- LIANT VICTORY. Sycamore girls were badly defeated by the De Kalb Normal girls last night in the latter's gymnasium. Lack of speed was the most noticeable feature of the game.

A. 2I to o In the game with De Kalb girls, Elgin put up a hard struggle all the time, but was clearly out- classed by the team work of the Normals, which at times it was almost impossible to break up. The Y. IV. C. A. team was handicapped by the absence of their center, but was in the game all the time. The normal line-up was: Misses Lundberg, Gastfteld, Earle, Hamilton and Moor- head. The line-up for the local team was Misses Whipple, Wicklund, St. john, Olson, Kocher. Mr. Nelson Kellogg acted as referee and Mr. Miller as umpire. A good sized gallery witnessed the game. - The Elgin Daily Alews. DOUBLE GAME BETWEEN NORMAL AND SYCAMORE By way of diversion, the Normal Basket Ball girls took a jaunt to Sycamore, on February 2I, and gave the County Seat High School girls some more pointers about the game. The essential feature of the evening was the field stars - not the basket ball field stars nor the cornfield, but the Gastiield stars-who made twenty-seven points out of the thirty. The High School girls were outclassed from start to finish: and when time was called, the N. I. girls had won by a score of 38-ro. - Sycamore Truth. BASKET BALL AT NORMAL t'GYM A good sized crowd turned out last night to see the game at Normal. The game between Normal and Genoa girls was too much of a run- away to be interesting. The fast pace and clever team work put up by the Normal girls bewildered the Genoa team. Miss Lundberg, forward for Normal, scored almost at will. Genoa's only point came on a free throw by INIiss Brown. Normal, 37, Genoa, I. Lundberg, s. f., A. Gastfield, r. f., R. Earle, c. M. Moorhead, l. f.g E. Hamilton, captain, r. g. Genoa-M.

AUGUSTANA GIRLS DEFEATED The game between the Normal and College girls resulted in the score of 28 to 7, in favor of the former. The game was the cleanest ex- hibition of basket ball seen in the college Gym this year. The playing of the Normal five was of the highest order and it is extremely doubtful if there is a girls' team in the state that can defeat them. They claim an unbroken line of victories for the last two years. - Rock Island .-lrgzzs, illarclz Qtlz. IVin? Of course we won-how could we help it?

I enjoy the gentle hubbub the social buzz. All unconsciously, while I thought I was studying, I have become acquainted with the people there. I know who it is that walks with a certain brisk step, and who it is that ambles along. I know who takes this ' JM little mincing step, and who that characteristic long stride. I have learned who walks flatfooted and who steps much heavier with the right foot than with the left. I know the squeak of a certain pair of shoes, I know whose feet go pitapat, pitapatf' all the way around the room. I know the girl with springs in her feet, who goes trip, trip, trip, trip, from one table to another, and the girl with the noisy heels - even the most concentrated minds are not proof against that thud, thud, thud, as she bursts through the room like a young hurricane. It is such fun to watch people. There is the dreamer, her book lies open before her as she sits with half closed eyelids, gazing afar off. Now she comes back to earth, but only long enough for one glance at the open page, and then she IN THE. LIBRARY ng I , j ' 1 ml . . W I is off to dreamland again. Woulcln't you like to know her dreams? The magazine fiend is in her accustomed place by the farther window, lost to the world as she rapturously devours the enticing pages in her eagerness to see if 'K he gets her. Off by herself, sitting bolt upright in her chair and gazing ceiling- ward is a girl whose lips move rapidly and mysteriously, whose body sways back and forth in accompaniment, and whose expression is now agonized, now deeply thoughtful, now triumphant. I. wonder at this excited conversa- tion she is seemingly holding with herself, until after persistently studying the violent workings of her mouth, I am able to interpret- There was a time when meadow, grove and stream, The earth and every common sightf, and then I understand. One girl docs have the best visits. You can always see her leaning over somebody's chair, chatting away. From one table to another she goes in her round of social calls. There is a man who is always trying his persuasive powers on anyone who will listen to him. Hear the conversation he is holding with his latest victim - You can do it, I know you can. Why, all the faculty say you are just great at this sort of thing. Now I am not telling you this to jolly you. l wouldn't say it if it weren't true. It goes without saying that he is getting up the next program for a literary society. 2592 Ziortbvr g Page112 I have covertly watched, with secret enjoyment, the development of a delightful little romance. How skillfully they two maneuver to sit at the same table - you would almost think it happened by chance! How seemingly indifferent she is to his questionings as she pores over her book, lifting her eyes only now and then to rest their full glory on him for a fraction of a second! I-Iow well things go between them on some days, how poorly on others! But he con- tinues his efforts undaunted - in hope sometimes, sometimes in despair, yet persistent ever. Certain higher beings, too, move about in this world, with commanding presence. There are the two librarians who preserve peace and order in their community with quiet firmness -the little one with her quick ways 3 the tall one, stately and gracious. There is one who comes often just within the door, diflident and unassuming, looks searchingly about for a minute, then breaks the silence of the room with her austere announcement, You are wanted at the office. The dignified critic passes through with her little yellow note book in hand. There is the Big Chief, who swings through the room with his long stride, bringing with him an atmosphere of autumn sunshine, and wind-swept fields and touch-downs. And while I sit and dreamily gaze and idly muse in this library world, my imagination finds unconfined joy. In my mind I fashion a past which has given this maiden her glad, wild ways, and left its golden glow upon her, which has brought this man his strength and self-reliance and made him the power that he is, which tells the story of the tender sorrow in this gentle, womanly face. And then, in the realm of my fancy, I build me a world that is to be in the days that are to come - and in its larger activities and wider responsibilities I find fitting places for the men and maids of the library world.

ELIZABETH TENNANT. PLAIN LANGUAGE FROM A VISITOR AT THE HOUSE I attend the Northern Normal, and my name I will not state. I've not been up to rough-housing or such conduct of late, But I,ll tell in simple language what I know about the scrap Which resulted from the rude awakening of Given's nap. But first I would remark that it is rude in the extreme CULVER To throw your room-mate on the floor and take a seat on him, And if these soft caresses happen not to suit his whim, He shouldn't try to punch your ribs or kick you in the shin. Now nothing could be finer or more beautiful to see Than the way the boys in Bert's room were conversing pleasa ntl Page115 Eye Ziortber When Irve picked up a pillow and threw it at the bed Where Ward was snoozing peacefully, and hit him in the head. Then Ellsworth jumped up suddenly, and grabbed the Irishmang They rolled about upon the Hoor, and then the fun began, For Dutch, he took a dive at Bert, and Shorty joined the fray, And soon the scene within that room looked like a moving day. Now, I hold it is not proper to grab a fellow's hair, And try to haul him through the door and throw him down the stair, Nor should an individual whose neck is being bent Reply by jabbing at your jaw to any great extent. In less time than I write it, those Seniors did engage In a warfare with the pillows, unbecoming to their age, And the way they slung their shoes in their excitement was a sin, When there came a knocking at the door, and the landlady looked in. And this is all I have to say of this same pleasant game, For I think the interruption at that moment was a shame, But I've told in simple language what I know about the scrap Which resulted from this rude awakening of Ellsworth's nap.

HOOLIGAN PAYS AN OFFICIAL VISIT TO THE NORMAL DURING THE SUMMER TERM AND GIVES HIS IMPRESSIONS Solomon must have bin a very larned man, Murtyg th' Queen uv Sheba said he wuz, an judgin' be th' advice he gev on th' thrainin' uv children, I'm inclined t' agree wid th' lady. Whin me fren', Giev'nor Deneen, axed me to go to DeKalb an' invistigate th' State thraninin' school for taachers, I consinted, believin' 'twas a sacred thrust, an' whin Docther Cook met me at th' stashun wid all th' mimbers uv th' Faculty lined up on th' platform. I raalized th' importance uv me jooty. Afther they wur all prisinted, th' Docther tuk me in his autymobeel an' dhrew me all over town an showed me th' new thirty-five story hotel, just like th' Waldorf Asthoria, an' th' Stock Exchange, an' th' parks, an' th' elevated railroad, an' th' steel works, an' lots uv illigent residinces, an' th' branches uv th' mint, where they make mint juleps. 1 U 'We had a grand clhrive down along th' river to th' school,' sez he as we stopped on a bridge over a little sthrame uv coffee-colored water that ye cud go over in a standin' jump. 'Where's th' river,' sez I. 'Why, that's it,- that's th' Kishwaukeef sez he. 'An' what's thim kids doin' on th' bank P' sez I. 'Catchin' suckers,' sez he. 'Thrue for ye,' sez I. They must be, or they'd niver be in such a place.' Mebbee me remarks wurn't polite but I couldn't help meself. But th' Docther's a foine man wid lots uv larnin' tucked away under his golf cap, an' if he wuz vexed he niver let on, for he med me a mimber in th' Chew-ther club, wun uv th' swell places in th' town. Next mornin' we dhruv down to th' school. I niver tumbled over meself t'-praise Misther Altgeld, but whin I saw th' grand buildin' for all the wurruld like Windsor Castle, I tuk off me caubeen to his mimory, then nothin' wud do th' Doetheribut I must sit on th' platform in th' Chapel wid him an' th' Professers. Every mornin' they have singin' an' a lecture or spaaches or recitin', I haven't time to tell ye about them all but the Music wus foine, faith it ought to be, for the lady in charge uv it can make th' pianna sound like St. Pathrick's harp, an' she has a voice like th' cooin uv a turtle duv. An' 13092117 Erbs Ziortijcr talkin' about singin,' ye should hear Misther Parson knockin' the consate out uv Caruso, an' wan mornin' we coaxed th' Docther to sing 'Rory O 'More,' an' mabbe he didn't do it to th' Queen's taste . But say, Murty, I must tell ye uv a chap named Whitten that gev a lecture on Fire, he's a peach an' no mestake. He med fire out uv wather an' tuk such lashins uv sparks out uv me whiskers, an' blew flames out uv his nosthrils like ould Beelzebub till the smell uv brimstone most scared me to death an' he finished up by burnin' a hole through a two inch oak plank wid his little linger. They have a foine library, an' a lady in it as polite as a grand duchessg what she doesn't know about books, wud fit on a postage stamp. . 'Is this a Car- nagy,' sez I. 'No, sez she, 'we don't ait Scotch oats just for th' sake uv payin' a big price for them, it's a gift from wan uv our citizens.' tHis soul t' glory,' sez I, 'an more power to his big hst.' I cuddn't but notiz how ordherly things wur in th' buildin 'g no whisperin' nor gossipin' nor courtin' on the stairs - there wer'nt enufl men to do that. Every wan seemed to wear.felt slippers, an' th' way they glided about reminded me uv Gum-Shoe Bill Stone uv Missouri. The girls have no time to bother about Merry Widda hats nor Marcellus waves an' the men have to shave wid th' razor in wan hand an' tyin' a shoe sthring wid th' other. There's classes in dhrawin', an' paintin', an' histhory, an' grammar, an' geography, an' Misther Charlestaaches all about birds, an' frogs, an' buttherflies, an, pollywogs an' other dumestic animals. He has a rale' Zoo in th' back yard that's intherestin' whin th' wind's not comin' your way. There's a man-aitin' tiger from Tammany. It lost a piece uv its tail an' wan eye in '96, an' a rale lyin that wanst belonged to Misther Hearst till it got too tame for him, an' an alligather that sings 'All coons luk alike to me,' an' a whole raft uv other household pets. I med a good many visits to th' Algebry class, where a nice, unassumin' young lady juggles wid facthors an' quadratics an' binomials jist as aisy as a Hindoo fakir handles a cobra, an' I often dhropped in on Misther Gilbert whose favorite mornin' meal is Pedagogy. Av eoorse ye don't know what that manesg well its taaehin' taachers how t' taach. Th' word Comes frum the same Latin root as peddler, because they both dale in noshuns. Och, 'twould do ye good to hear him talk on noshuns giniral an' indivigool, an' raisons 25111: Ziortiyzr Page118 an' systems an' the relashun uv moind t' matther. He's a nice man wid a merry twinkle in his eye, but I wuddn't recommind ye to get gay wid him, or ye'd find yeself in a back sate an' shakin' hands wid the Professor for the honor. But littherachoor's me sthrong point, avick, an' the lady that taaches it is what Misther Sam Weller wud call a tip topper. Wan mornin' th' class wuz discussin' th' play uv Hamblet an' I wuz invited to spake. 'Kin ye tell me,' sez I, 'who wuz Roger Bacon?' Up wint a dozen hands, an' I nodded me head to wan young woman. Sez she, ' He wuz a son uv Ham, discinded from Noah on his mother's side an' a distant relashun uv Ham Lewis uv Chicago, an' Misther Shakespeare an' Ignatius Donnelly wrote the play uv Hamblet in his honor. Well, sorr, that floored me untirely an' 'twas only the ringin uv th' gong that saved me frum a knock-out. The grounds roun' th' buildin' are foine, beautiful lawns laid out wid flower beds, an' roses, an' pansies, an' daffy down dillies, an rale Irish ivy on the walls. If any one finds a weed in the beds he telifones t' th' head gardener an' he sinds down a squad uv six or eight picked men, an' they hould a consul- tation over it like a botany class, an' then it's put in a hand cart wid rubber tires an' away they go like cock Robin's funeral. I wuz in the gymnashium wan day givin' th' Phillipeenas some wrinkles on the rings an' th' thrapeze, an' nothin' would satisfy Mister Kellogg but I must put on th' mitts wid him. Did I? VVell, we sparred roun for a minute or two an' thin I landed a few good wallops an' - I hate t' tell th' rest, tis a sad tale- but he tuk th' batin' good natured, an' sez he, 'Ye're th' only man out- side uv Jim Jeffries that cud do th' thrick.' There's an ould sayin' that facts is figgers an' figgers is rithmetic, well if there's many smarter men at th' black board thin Misther Parson they must have been kidnapped by some other sate in larnin.' There's not a point in th' game that he hasn't at his finger ends, he can tell th' number in scales on a black bass or a buttherfly's wing in a twinklin', an' fractions an' decimals an' percentage an' square root to him are like milk to a kitten. He's great on puttin' a fence roun' a 640 acre lot, an if th' Guv'nor needs a man to hx his fence in th' next campaign, I know where he can get him. Well, mabouchal, there's an end t' everthing, an' th't day kim fur th' coinmincement exercises. Why they get that name I can't say, except that Page119 Ghz liortijvr that's th' commincement in their thrubbles as taachers, but as me fren' Kiplin' sez, that's another story. The grajooatin' class marched into th' chapel all decked out wid yella an' white ribbons an' tuk front sates on th' platform. There wuz just sivinteen in them - sixteen women an' wan man - wouldn't that make the great chief of th' Omahahas do a sun dance? Aich uv thim got a beautiful diplomy wid a rale gould seal on it an th' Docther gev thim some good advice an' made a dhrawin' uv th' bumps they would get frum th' school directhersg he tould thim uv the big money there is in taachin' an' how they cud save enuff to go t' Europe ivery year. Then we sang a song, 'We love th' ould gray towers, so, ' an' gev th' school yell-I can't put it on paper -an' then made thracks for the daypo. As I wuz gettin' on th' thrain a lot uv the girls prisinted me wid a big baskit uv roses an' such hand shakin' an' wavin' uv hankichers ye niver saw. 'Twas the proudest day uv me life as I shouted 'Good bye, Doether, may ye never die till th' skin uv a gooseberry makes a night cap for ye.' ' ' G.

When gardens and fields are lovely and fair, And the wandering butterflies iloat through the air, When the Woods run over with song of bird, And the music of soft summer Winds is heard, .. When the air is filled with the Wild bees' hum, 'Tis then I dream of the days to come. And there's never a thought for the days of old, When the sky was gray and the wind was cold. In autumn days, When gardens and iields are lonely and bare, And the dead, dry leaves fall everywhere, When the Woods are mourning the flight of birds, And the moaning of chill autumn winds is heard When I listen in vain for the hum of bee, Then dreams of the past come back to me, And my thoughts are all with the days gone by, As the old glad hopes of a summer die. 7 NELL113 JACOBS. 25112 Ziortber Page124 73 r 0 HJLD OF THE LONESOME Moore l 0 ' ffseee- e It is a tale of tlze nioorlan , I zatie to tell ave you hear of tliggoo ' 1 people, yozr, a tale of the good little people, and of ratl '. y the child tlzey lnreiwthin tlzeir faery Z5 X fi, brihbflwelt in tlze if op the edge of tlze fi 5' Tlfl . . f i' . . l zfsoi fmoor, this lg e tbhzte child, and i6'lV5iaZlgu'as black and 'Ytfs eyes as blzfggk O if twfin lalees of Killarney.

Zips Ziortbvr Page126 THE SONG OF OUR MEADOW LARK ,Y4 ,v4 I HEN the chill, dreary days of late February were A A beginning to make us forget the hushed, half sad v prophecy of the golden autumn, and the clear-eyed A steadfastness of the winter sky, there returned to the meadows a little comrade of other days. In the chill, dewy mornings, before the sun came to dissolve the ghostly twilight, in the warm, yellow noons, when the waters of the lake flashed in joy, in the evenings, when the castle of the north flushed in the sunset and the windows turned to fire, -daily we heard his voice. His sweet, silvery song of courage and cheer rang an echo from our own hearts: Oh truthful-cheerily I-a-truthful-cheerily V Oh, meadow-lark, you do not soar so high as your cousin, perhaps you carry no poet to the clouds 5 it is ever your lot to live upon the plains, lifting, with your faithful song, weary souls and sullen hearts, teaching mankind God's truth. And you are indeed our own, for we who hear your voice, meadow-lark, we too live on the plains, among the children of men, not in the clouds of fame. Not to fill the world with awe at our brilliancy, not to be better, know more, than others, but to live truthfully cheerily, to give the children of our land the best we have -this is our higher life - to live the song of our meadow-lark.

A PRA YER IND LGRD, a boon we ask - the greatest one - Give us to keep through life the dreams of youth, To hold before us, though the way be drear, The high, clear light of their eternal beauty. To fail to meet the standards of the world, To be a dreamer, be denied success, This is not failure, but to put aside The spark divine which youth put in our hearts, To sink, in hopelessness and dumb despair, Into the petty littleness of life, Scorning no longer what we once did scorn, Hating no longer what we once did hate, Striving no more for that which once seemed best - This is the failure which we most do dread, O, grant to us, we pray, the better part.

My friend, the earthworm, has been wriggling about Normal Hill all day, said another, and tho he cannot see, poor miserable creature, he knows well how to listen and has heard that they expect to have an election to find out which is the most popular theme subject. Letls go to the election, said the first, if you haven't anything on for tonight. Yes, let's,,' said the others. So they went. What a large company it was! The Gargoyles and the Swipers were having a discussion. One of the Gargoyles said, As if we didn't see every Swiper go by! And we know their names, too. , The Senior Circus made so much noise that the Illustrative Baby began to cry, but Miss Foster's Dope came to the rescue and the Patriots joined in with the Treble Clef to hush the Baby to sleep. The Animals in the Zoo howled when they heard the singing and the Baby woke up and threshed about. As the Freshman passed by the Satyrs grinned and told each other it seemed good to get a glimpse of the verdure to which they had been accustomed before they were brought to Normal Hill as Theme Subjects. The class - book sang, You'll be sorry by and by, to the Bluffer, but the Bluffer did not care, he went to the Gym and practiced Basket Ball. The School Colors argued a long time as to which was the most popular until the Yellow and white became Cardinal and Black with rage. The Club Houses were such a jolly set and made so much racket that the Faculty shook their heads and wondered if they had better deliver a series of lectures on the fine art of being quiet. The juniors Nature Study Club came in with muddy feet and Mr. Shoop immediately wiped up the tracks. The meeting was called to order and Dr. Cook sang, I Know a Bank, while the Choir sang the refrain. All the Students sat up and took notice and wondered where that bank was, for each was in need of a little extra change. Bonaparte got up to make the first speech and his bones rattled so that he made all the Training School children laugh, and the Student Teachers had much Page135 EDB iiortbcjr ado to keep them quiet. With more rattling of bones, Bonaparte took his seat amidst a roar of applause, coming as usual from the Training School children. Normal, king of Theme Subjects, now came forward and announced that the nominations for the most popular subject were now in order. A whispering-then a silence, followed by a nomination for junior Night from the Juniors. The Normal Boys nominated the Freshman Seat, the Ellwoods and Gliddens, in the same breath, nominated Perseus. The Campus, thinking of the many times the Light in the Corner Tower had pre- vented Society goers from spoiling her good looks and trampling down her flowers, nominated him, but he, being in love with the Rill on the Campus, nominated the Rill. The nominations were then closed and the subjects voted, by ballot, Old Normal, the Ideal Teacher and the Pitch Pipe acting as tellers. When the returns of the election were reported, it was found that the Freshman Seat was the most popular. Then they drank toasts to the Freshman Seat until Mr. Hatchs Chicken's began to crow. After they had gone, the lizards played and ran about their tree, talking over the subjects. Oh, how the Training School children pleased mef' said one. The Normal Boys pleased me betterf, said the old earthworm. But then, the poor miserable creature could not see. LOLA SoKoLoUK. THE SYCAMORE GIRL A rush thru the cloakroom, a dive down the hall!

In the sheltering class room 'tis safest to stay, As all hatless, all coatless, a maddening whirl, Thru the entrance she whizzes, the Sycamore girl. O, who is this guest at our club-house to-night, Whose features are marred by a wild, hunted light? See there, how she startles as if from a shock, And now her eyes wander again toward the clock. She's the girl who leaves early, and always comes late. Her life is a hurry and then a long wait.

For the fancy took me backward some four hundred years and more, Till the twilight glow had faded, and the vision fair was o'er. Day by day I've seen those towers since that evening long agog Seen them dark and drear and somber when the threatening clouds hung lowg Seen them stern and cold and ice-clad in the winter's frigid air, Or on misty mornings standing as some dream-like palace there. But forever when the memory calls the picture to my eyes, I see it as it seemed that eve against the sunset skies, With each battlement and tower clearly cut against the light, And above the first stars twinkling in the early summer night.

JAMES IVAN FREDERICK lf!! 2010? fam In the month of March, 1907, a number of friends from the Normal and its Alumni gathered in the city of Belvidere to bid their last farewell to the earthly remains of Paul 0. Lucas, or Paulie,', as he was known to the most of us. Among these friends was James Ivan Frederick, and in less than a year, February Io, 1908, this circle was lessened by Jim's death. To me it is almost im- possible to think of Jim without calling up memories of Paulie as well. Their purposes and sympathies were so inter- woven that mention of the one invariably induces thoughts of the other. To the people most intimately acquainted with jim, it seems almost futile to attempt to express by means of words a me- morial worthy of our friend. But if the veil had been lifted which hung between this truest of souls and the world, there would have been revealed a man who had conquered his own spirit, and who by the mastery of his own will had wrought from the conditions in which he found himself a pure, sweet and noble life. You could not associate with him without feeling that here you had found a brother in sympathy with you, the largeness of whose generosity, charity and strength you could not comprehend. The trait in his character which amounted almost to a passion with him was his sense of justice. His utmost capacity for work was always exerted to right a wrong, especially if the wrong were indicted upon some one else. His ability to come into intimate relations with nature made it pos- sible for him to pity, sympathize with and help those in trouble, and gave to him that universality of soul which enabled him to feel with such intensity the wrongs of others. For these noble and manly characteristics, Jim was loved and esteemed by school- mates, teachers and pupils. He was a man in the highest and truest sense of the word, and our strength in this loss is derived from our belief with the singer, that- Nay, but 'tis not the end, God were not God, if such a thing could be, If not in time, then in eternity There must be room for penitence to mend Lifeis broken chance, else noise of wars Would unmake heaven. VICTOR C. Kfxvs, 'o2. 23111: iiortbcr Page146 THE NORTHER HE NORTHERN- the name is a magic one to the Normal S student. To the Freshman it brings to mind many stolen hours in a quiet corner of the library reading of the mighty deeds of those who now call themselves Alumni. Or per- chance in times of utter dearth of subjects for his weekly LM theme he seeks in its forgotten lore for some kind power to move his impotent pen to write. A Junior's interest in The Northern is embittered because tradition says the Junior writes it, yet he has no glory. Although he declares he is somewhat imposed upon, yet like the jolly good fellow he is, he takes his pen and does the Seniors' bidding. And more than this, he buys the product of his pen, wherefore it has gone down in the annals of the school that the Junior is greatly to be praised. The Senior sees in this name a wilderness of sleepless nights, dreams of failure, hopes of success with many pretexts to slight his lessons. But though the giant tasks of publishing an Annual drives him into wastes and solitudes, anon the wilderness becomes a field of flowers where blooms a new sense of loyalty and devotion to his Alma Mater. Perhaps it is to him who has gone out to join the Alumni that the word 'tNorther has the deepest meaning. To him it is an Aladdin's lamp which has a strange power to bring back the grey towers with myriads of gracious memories. To him it is a mystic spring from which old hopes and longings come back to renew his faith in the nobility of his calling, and to keep alive the visions of affection and service awakened in the days that are gone. Thus it has come to pass that each year, fancy, with lavish hand, gleans from out the busy days and builds for each Senior class this golden Book of Hours, The Norther. ALICE M. SVVARTHOUT. Page147 23112 Ziortijzr THE FEAST OF THE ALUMNI Harken, good reader, if you would hear Of the mighty feast in the fall of the year: The guests Were Alumni, not one who was there And had share in the jokes and the bountiful fare, But remembers that evening's Wit and cheer. From far and near We gathered us all At half after six, in the bright-lighted hall. With greetings and handshakes, the moments sped by Till the slow ticking clock caught the hungry guests' eye. After seven o'clock, and no summons to dine! Yet, surely the feast would be ready - in time, So down the long halls We continued to stroll, Or examined with interest Clio's blank scroll. At length a flushed messenger came on a run And We caught her hoarse whisper, Potatoes aren't done! But despite this disaster the guests were now led Up the stairs to the hall where the banquet was spread. You've heard the rest, how our toastmaster great In stage whispers revealed our potato-less state. How with laughter we greeted each story and jest, And proclaimed every toast that was given the best. Though that evening sweet, with its memories, is past, The call of t'Come back holds us true to the last. To every Alumnus, success and good cheer, Till we gather again in the fall of next year.

Eb: liortijcr Page 148 I-II I-I I-I III-il P IR l-y Dear Mother School, across the time and space that lie between our parting and to-day, your children send you greet- ing and their love. Upon Commencement morning we looked back at many happy hours lived in your halls and with your birds and trees. And we looked forward also toward the future as a land of promise - a land you sent us to possess, to conquer with the knowledge you had given and to make better with the spirit of your teaching. Some of the roseate hue that lay upon that land has vanished, but in its stead there shines a clearer light upon the mean- ing of our work, the teacher's mission in the world. Ours is the joy of those who know the thing they do is worthy of their noblest effort. And, though we may sometimes grow weary, it is worth much weariness to feel, when night has brought the work-day to its close, that we have helped a pair of younger feet to take the upward path or gained a step ourselves. We have not always done the best, and it is then we turn most longingly toward you and take fresh inspiration from the ideals you have set like lights to travel toward. Distance and time cannot divide us while our purposes are one, and we shall love you better as the days move on. We shall come back with joy, as we have done before, assured a welcome waits for us in every well remembered spot. And, as the passing, years spread over your gray towers the mellow tint time gives, and as the ivy reaches higher still to clothe them in its summer green, may that same spirit that has made you what you are to us and to the world become a stronger, a diviner presence, and may God keep us always true to you and to ourselves, dear Mother School.

To be puffed up with self-importance is the sign of a shallow brain. But a just recognition of merited success is no evidence of conceit. It is such a recognition that we have in mind upon this, the first anniversary of the now world-famous paper, The Alumni Jester. But a brief year ago the first edition of the Jester appeared. That the public knows a good thing when it sees it has been well proven by the reception accorded the paper. Tens of thousands of copies were disposed of as fast as they came from the press, and hundreds of letters --a few of which we publish in this year's edition - attest the glowing satisfaction of our subscribers. ' No pains have been spared to make the edition of '08 equal in spiciness, con- ciseness and freedom of fancy to last year's edi- tion. Our reporters, men who rival in imagination even the Chicago American's staff, have been at work not only in the several states of the Union, but even in the islands of the sea. We trust our intelligent readers, notably the Alumni of N. I. S. N. S. will be able to accord it the enthusiastic praise which We have en- deavored to merit. ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT SCHOOL FRIENDSHIPS END IN IXIATRIMONY Mr. Frank Harmon Schell of Durand suc- ceeded in startling Freeport society yesterday. He paid the dollar at the county clerk's and then went to the I. C. station to meet the 3:15 p. m. train. She came. The cabman was given extra pay to get them to the minister's before the four o'clock Interurban car from Freeport reached town. Mr. Schell asked for the shortest ceremony, regardless of price, and even while he was making the bargain with the minister, he was reaching for her hand. Rev. Bannen saw the point and with all speed pro- nounced the words which united Mr. Harmon Schell and lNIiss Nellie James in the holy bonds of matrimony. They leave this morning for Chicago. - Rockford Jlfornizzg Star. Alumni Jester XVEDDING BELLS Bride a Former Student of DeKalb Normal Valley City, North Dakota.- On April 1st, the pleasant home of Mrs. Pavendort was the scene of one of the most brilliant social events of the season. In a room which had been transformed into a bower of blossoms, beneath a huge Wed- ding bell of red and white roses, which was sus- pended from the arched doorway by a broad satin ribbon, Miss Jennie Schnebly and Mr. Nemo Noman were made one. Promptly at noon the beautiful strains of the Lohengrin Wedding March, evoked from the cabinet organ by the fair fingers of Miss Paven- dort, niece of the bride, heralded the approach of the bridal party. First came the brides- maids, gowned in gauzy red, and carrying bas- kets of yellow jonquils. They were followed by the maid of honor, who wore pink, and carried a bouquet of crocuses from the snowy hills of North Dakota, and the groomsmen. The bridal couple entered arm in arm. The bride was gowned in white satin so stiff that it would stand alone, and carried a shower bouquet of peonies. Her only ornament was a magnificent diamond sunburst, the gift of the groom. She were gloves. The groom was attired in the con- ventional black sack. The Reverend Perkins read the impressive service which made them man and wife. After a brief honeymoon trip, which will include a visit to De Kalb Normal, the scene of the bride's school days, the happy couple will take up their residence in liolqonio, Indian Territory.

Enclosed find 31 in payment for this year's sub- scription. I find it invaluable in instructing my Mormon pupils in the ways of the civilized world. It has helped me to lead the child mind gently to the realization that Dr. Cook, as well as Brigham Young, is one of our great men. iYou may be glad to hear that horseback riding is greatly improving my health. I have gained twenty pounds since September, and am no longer the frail girl that I was when at Normal. Yours, in the spirit of stand by. ANNA HEINE. Capron, Ill., May 15.1 Enclose a check for S51 for the Alumni Jester. It is worth 31.25. I want to say that it is due to the quick service of your alumni matrimonial agency that I have been able to establish my present happy home. Yours respectfully Roy SK1L1zs. Durand, Ill., May 20, 1908:-The label on my paper reminds me that it is time to pay up, so I shall inclose 31 and renew my subscription to the Jester. My wife and I find that our long Winter evenings are greatly enlivened by the perusal of its pages. Yours fraternally, HARNION T. SCHELL. Fruita, Colo., June 9, 1908.-Please find en- closed 31 for the renewal of my subscription for the Jester, which is a very Welcome visitor in our family. Our daughter, a remarkable child of four months, prefers your edition of last year to any other reading matter which we have placed Within her reach. lrVe feel that this in- dicates a pedagogical tendency which should be encouraged. Therefore we are planning to send her to Normal School, and have already engaged her room and board at the Tudor Club for the fall of 1926. Happily yours, EZRA CALLOWAY. Hagonoy, Bulacan, Philippines, March 2, IQO8. This rnorning's mail brought to us the Alumni Jester, your esteemed paper. I shall use it as the basis for a series of talks in our general exercises here, and am planning to discuss with some other leading educators the advisability of editing a Jester here in the Philippines. I have already developed a basket ball team whose strength and skill can readily overcome that of the famous N. I. S. N. S. Faultless Faculty on our own home Hoor. Your admirer, GREGORIO RAMEREZ. Prof. Don Kays, instructor in the Rockford High School, Sundayed in Oak Park last Week. Maud Mallin, one of the primary instructors in Evanston, has much enjoyed spending her Saturdays and Sundays at her home in Oak Park. Miss Bess Hale bought a twenty-live ride ticket to De Kalb last September, ,O7. Only three rides left by April, 'oS. Miss Sarah Vial recently gave a luncheon for her friend Mrs. Gobb, nee Reed. Covers were laid for all the De Kalbites within reach by phone. The friends of Miss Hazel Vander Veer will be glad to hear that she now has far more leisure time than she had when at Normal. She now walks to school instead of running, and finds leisure for studying Browning at least once in two weeks. On Feb. 14, the elite of Chicago Heights society were delightfully entertained by the lNIisses Kitson and Dobbin. By means of a scheme similar to pinning the tail on the donkey the young ladies were able to learn their fate. All were made happy but Miss Troxell, who was so broken-hearted over her failure to escape from spinsterhood that it was agreed to let her try again. ELSIE NVHEATON TO SEEK FORTUNE IN FAR XVEST. Miss Elsie Wheaton has resigned her position as principal of the Mazon Schools and is leaving to-day for the NVest, where she is planning to take up some new line of work. For some time she has been in correspondence with a prominent grocer in one of the county seat towns in Texas. - The Sauazemin Register-Gazette. Alumni Jester T SPORTING NEWS Alumni Team Victorious One of the most sensational games of the season was played October 12th on the Normal field, Alumni vs. Normal. From start to finish the fight was a fierce one. Only one touchdown was made by the Alumni team, but this was due to the remoteness of the goal rather than to a lack of scientific playing on the part of the team. Go to Pieces in Last Half, Giving Rivals the Game. january 18th was the date on which the annual basket ball games between the Normal and Alumni teams were played. The Alumni girls made a valiant struggle but lost their nerve in the last half and were defeated. The game between the boys' teams was one of the most exciting games of the season. The breaking of an electric light globe by Don's man, Thomas, was one of the thrilling events of the game. At the end of the second half the score stood 31 to 2I in favor of Normal. We are con- fident, however, that this was an error on the part of the score-keeper and that the score should be reversed, to be correct. No Picture of Boys' Team Owing to the pressing engagements which the members of the Alumni boys' team had with prominent educational men of the country on the morning after the game, we were unable to obtain their pictures. Kays' Team Famous: Wins Champion- ship of Northern Illinois The Rockford High School basket-ball team, under the direction of the famous coach Don Kays, has proven itself too many for the other high school teams of Northern Illinois, and has won the championship of that part of the state. Still in the Field. Mr. Truax's basket-ball team has done good work this season. Loyal Alumnus Organizes a Girls' Basket-ball Team in Durand. Mrs. Nellie James Schell has organized a girls' basket-ball team in Durand. Owing to her herculean efforts the work of the team during this season has been all that could be desired. Cornell Has Swift Team. The Sugar Grove basket-ball team defeated the Normal boys at Sugar Grove. Later the Sugar Grovers came to De Kalb and the Nor- malites showed them a thing or two.

TEACHERS AND FRIENDS: It is with deep sincerity that I am sending you this bit of message - greetings from one who, a year ago, used to abide around that beautiful man- sion, the home of the Veritas In this message it is my wish to tell you that, although I am so far away on a distant shore, in my memory there still lives an affection which will always remind me of the good will of you all. As a consequence of this I have come to the opinion that there must be an ideal tie to bind all the sons, daughters, and Faculty of the DeKalb Normal together. I had partly realized this fact before, but as I go deeper and deeper in my work, I have become more fully convinced as to its existence. Of course, I live in a far, strange land and belong to an entirely different race, but I am proud to be united with you in the aspiration to high ideals, the betterment of the world, and I am also proud to be called one of the sons of the institution. I need not mention why I am so proud, for it goes without saying that every one who has been and who now is in the school knows the things of which he must be proud. I hope that my classmates of ,O7, at least, have not forgotten these things. Speaking of myself alone, I feel that I am very much indebted to the De Kalb Normal for everything which I can do for my country. The task is begun, and whatever I can accomplish now and in the future will not be credited to me alone, but to my Alma Mater also. With sincere regards to all, I am your true friend, MARIANO B.

I. Introduction. A. Definition of terms: The moon which is under discussion is the same old moon a-shining in the same old way as when Noah and Abraham saw it. . B. Immaterial issues: All agree that I. The moon is one of the heavenly bodies. 2. That the moon gives or reflects light. 3. That it shines in the night time. 4. That it is often a general nuisance. C. Material issue: The question is: Is the light of the moon as here defined equally bright in all places, and is its brightness the same at all hours of the night? II. Argument proper. A. The light of the moon is equally bright in all places and at all hours of the night, for 1. This is the testimony of the most reliable and experienced lunar tor lunyj observers. Below are submitted quotations from the most eminent authorities, with due credit given in each case:- From Life and Leliers of I. A. Madden - C' Sitting one night about three-thirty in Charley VVarcl's back yard adjoining the watch factory at Elgin, with my feet dangling over the edge of one of Charley's chicken coops, and dividing my attention between Charley's beautiful daughter and the movements of her mother, who was busily engaged in frying one of Charley's chickens for my breakfast, preparatory to my taking an early train for De Kalb, I suddenly noticed, to my unbounded delight, that the maiden's big blue eyes looked at me with exactly the same degree of tenderness in the Elg-in moonlfiglzl as in the days of yore when we were abiding by the ten-o'clock rules of the Normal School. From Them Tlzere Journeys of Zlline, by E. Ward Givens - I feel perfectly competent to make an authoritative statement on this here important subject. Several weeks ago, having obtained the necessary permission from my parents and that there devoted guar- dian of mine at 504 College Avenue, I took an early morning train to that there metropolis of Chicago. That there moon was still Page 167 Eye Ziortbsr shining. I know that, because I saw three different moons shining over three different Fair Stores and - what! you say that's no argu- ment? Why here, they looked just like that there moon did the night I tried to shoot that there nigger. Under seventeen different dates is the same entry in R. Morton Woodburnfs Journal of ASll'07L0771'iCUZ Sfottefruaitiofzts. The entry is as follows: From my accustomed place on the steps of the Davis House, in the early hours of the evening, I observed the moon rise, and I am ready to swear on Runtfs Bible that it was a 'he' moon all right and continued so until sunrise. fIt is not altogether improbable that the enlivening influences of 'his immediate environment may have some- what modified Mr. Woodburn's attitude toward the aforesaid moon, yet Mr. VVoodburn's unexcelled opportunities for observation make his .data of inestimable value.D In his Spice of Life, A. R. Kays makes the following statement: For many days and months I judged the brightness of the moon by Sallie's eyes. I thought there were no others that could compare, but I have since found that the brightness of the moon is precisely the same when reflected by Florence's eyes, the bewitching optics of the Merry Widow, or the eyes of a dozen others I could name if I wished to. H Several other references, which bear out the testimony just given, are here named: Puffer's Pzzellae in Lzmac Luce, Ch. 6. Sudden Exits from llze Daffds House info llze rlloolzliglzl, by One Who Knows-VV. Madden, page 1. Wlza! Clzilzlren Think about flu' Moon - johnston and Coultas- First nineteen chapters. 2. The truth of this proposition is shown by mathematical demon- stration. Using the data of the testimonies already offered, we have the following equations: Reflection of Elgin moonlight from her eyes:Retlection of De Kalb moonlight from same eyes. Brightness of Sallie's eyes a year ago in the moonlight:l3rightness of Florence's eyes last fall. Brightness of Florence's eyes last fall in the moonlight : Brightness of the Merry Widow's eyes this Spring. Adding, substituting, applying the lirst axiom, and generalizing, we have That-there brightness:This here brightness. Zhu iiortbzr Page168 IH. Conclusion. Since the most eminent authorities furnish evidence in support of the proposition, and Since it admits of the most rigid, logical, unanswerable, and indeed perfectly good mathematical proof, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the light of the moon IS equally bright in all places and at all times.

The grass, the trees, the shrubbery Their winter dullness lose, But their freshness cannot equal The tan on Woodburn's shoes. And now the sun is setting, As before it's often sat, Casting farewell gleams of glory, On Warren's gingham hat. A young man whose last name was Johnson Comes from Capron, just south of Wisconsin. At the Roberts house he Would most frequently be, Though his singing would certainly daunt some. A jolly young fellow called Ray, Was an actor in every play. With a charactor sunny, And inclined to be funny, The foolish parts all came his way. More huge by far, these wonders are than any we have seen, They stretch out wide from side to side, a landscape gardener's dream. And true it is, this headgear is more parasol than hat, The wonder grows how the sweet girl knows the place that she is at. From the churches, they say, they've been banished away, or left in the sexton's care, And the base ball fan, he no longer can see the game for the bonnets there. And though there may, at some future day, be fashions worse than that, My lid llll eat, if they ever can beat the merry widow hat. 311: iiortbcr Roll on, proud world from year to year, Nor pay attention to our Normal here, But we in one thing challenge every land, A champion have we in our junior band, A gentleman of leisure, wealth and worthgn For Ellsworth Givens is the laziest man on Thing of beauty, thing of joy, Crown of glory to each boy 5 Every hair on end doth stand, Stricken by the barber's hand.

For those who thuswise leave the fray May live to run some other day. Here's to the girls, the darlings too, From the darlings so sadly spoiled, Here's to the one who wrote that piece, And for our good manners toiled, She freely admits, for she had good wits, That we were not to blame, The girls did it, so you'll ftnd it writ, But we 'd like to know her name. earth Bury the hat with our heartfelt lamentation, Bury the hat and lose the combination, Johnston's hat hath caused us woe, Lay it away then solemn and slow.

S. he might have breathed a song something like this into the air: By the bank of the Kishwaukee, By our gently flowing river, Spread the pond that Balthis builded. Dark beside it rose the forest, Rose the tall and spreading elm trees, Rose the oaks with acorns on them. High before it rose the towers And gray battlements of Normal With the terraces and tombstones. If Dr. Holmes had been a contemporary of Mr. Woodburn's, he might have said something like this if he had been present when a. certain sad acci- dent occurred: Then Woodburn swore, as he's often done, W'ith a Well I guess so, that'll be the one, That held do a he stunt and stand on his brain, But he fell through the window pane. If Shakespeare had roomed at the Culver House, he might have incor- porated the following dialogue into one of his comedies: Irish. Hath any man seen Dutch at the tailorls? Berl. No, for he bought it ready-made, just before his last trip to Aurora. Irish. Indeed, he looks sportier in his new rags than he did. Bert. Nay, and he put perfumery on his handkerchief, could you smell him out by that? S I rish. That's as much as to say, the sweet youth's very much in love. Bert. And how he is wont to wash his face.

If Sir Walter Scott had seen Mr. W. Madden in his new spring glad rags, he might have started a ballad in this manner: Oh, young Shorty Madden's come out in his best His loud yellow Oxfords will give us no rest, His and Malcolm's belong to a class of their own, The pants Irish bought him are second to none, He wears them at school, and he wears them at home, Saw ye e'er such a sport as our Shorty 's become? 26112 iiortbvr rpagma HEARD AT A CLINIC fThe medical students pressed eagerly around the operating table. Excitement ran high, for the cases were to be unique. There were several patients from the N. I. S. N. S. to be operated upon. The first patient, already chloroformed, was carried in. The instructor took up his gleaming knife, and began his lecturej , In the stomach of this young man, gentlemen, I am certain we shall find a large quantity of lint. HHOW did it get there? asked a fiedgling doctor. As a result of excessive chewing of the rag, came the answer. Bertie makes the High Schools love him Kays he was so kind, came in rollicking melody from the irrepressible medical students, ceasing sud- denly, however, as a young woman was carried in. The instructor continued: In this instance we must remove the entire vertebral column, and insert a length of rubber tubing in its place. The young lady, Miss Langwill, is unable to bend or participate in the Barn Dance. As you see, this operation is quite simple. Now we turn to the next case. This is also a simple case. It consists merely in depriving this young woman of consciousness for a few weeks until the rest of the world shall catch up with her. She complains of serious inconvenience due to the fact that she is ahead of her course in the Normal. The name, please? asked the reporter. Melville, Class of 'o9. The famous 'Ten of Us' Zoe? Precisely, The next patient I ask you to observe carefully. This poor child, Miss Coultas, has an acute attack of rubberballorum heelitis, also known as springum bounciaf' Chronic, doctor? asked a student. No, the case is of about a year's standing. By persistent doses of dilute ridicule she will eventually recover. As the next patient was led in by an attendant, the doctor announced, This man's eyes must be operated upon. Why, he seems all right, interjected the student at the foot of the class. But he. is not. Love is always blind, returned the instructor, severely. Our next is a typical case of a contagious disease that is sweeping De Kalb. This spasmodic jerking of the lower extremities, accompanied by delirious ravings in which the sufferer continually cries 'onel two! three! fourl' is a unique symptom which makes it quite easy for me to classify the malady as Dancibus Barnorum, a serious complication of Saint Vitus' Dance with F additis and 77 H Page179 EDU Ziiortijcr Delirium Tremens. It is only by severing the Tendon of Achilles that the patient can ever recover. Although this is not a school of beauty doctors, I ask you to give your closest attention to the next case. This young man is here to have supertiuous hair removed,-a strange growth in front of the ear which resists the most determined onslaughts of the barber- Which, the ear or the growth? interrupted a smart student. Neither, the patientf, answered the doctor, giving him the icy stare. In technical terms, we call this operation Shavingotomy Facorum Rossorum. Here is a young fellow whose head, hands, and feet I must ask you to seize, and at the word 'go,' pull as hard as possible. What for? asked a student. I-Ie is a 'Runt, ' answered the doctor. Now give your closest attention to the last case, the most interesting of all. I hope by examination of this patient, Miss Stott, to demonstrate what the great authority, Fred L. Charles, has long maintained, that the human body sometimes has two hearts. As he spoke, the doctor inserted his knife in the body, and with one skillful stroke, laid bare the chest cavity. There were not only the two hearts, but also an arrow piercing the two and holding them united, The doctor feared to with- draw the cruel barb, but striking a match, lighted it, observing that it Wood- burn.

Dear Sirs: I write this to express my appreciation for what your school has done for me. After taking three of your lessons in voice culture my powers of speech are so much improved that I can now make myself heard in the same room with Walthers' suit, Bert's socks, or Warren's shoes. I can orate in a voice of thunder or imitate a braying donkey and a bantam rooster at the same time. My singing voice is perfect. It is just like Bill johnson's. Indeed, in its in- expressible sweetness it rivals that of a lumber wagon mellowed with age. Yours very much improved, REYNOLDS DALE. How-to-Grow-Tall Co., Chemung, Ill.
