Never again would they wear their robes of black, the symbols of their quiet, peaceful Fresh- man days. Dark clouds o'erspread the heavens and the rain descended in torrents. A deeper feeling of melancholy filled the hearts of the humble Monks inspired both by the storm which raged without and the solemnity within. After searching through musty rolls of parchment, appalled were they to find the Juniors so enormously inferior to the Seniors in wisdom, behavior and all excellence. In deeper gloom and more fearful anxiety they waited for the friends whom they had invited to meet with them. Monks were sent to all the towers to watch for their coming. Not one did they behold - only afar and near beheld they the mad rushing of the water which soon isolated them from the world around. And thus the Monks passed the last day of their Freshman year alone. BESSIE LUCAS. K' CLASS SONG When we leave thy grey towers lonely Leave thy vales and wooded hill, Junior clays are memories only Love our loyal hearts will fill. Junior Days enclear us to thee, True to thee where'ere in life we be. Junior days are full and care free. Give us back our Junior clays. When the autumn sun is burning Slowly to the south lancls fair When the autumn sun is burning, Learning how to do and clare. Then will Junior days remind us That we always will stand by. Junior days so full ancl care free, Give us back our Junior clays. MAMIE THACKABERRY M C M I X is Rex M C M I X is Rex Regal Rex Regal Rex Loyal to Lex Loyal to Lex Loyal to who? to who? to who?

It happened this way. There were two sisters who were too swell for any good use and there was one sister who is the little 8 Ais teacher and she wasn't a bit stuck up. T he two proud sisters were standing around talking about their clothes when there was a knock and their beaus came in to ask them to marry them. The beaus got down on their knees but the proud sisters stuck their noses up in the air and said, No indeed, when We get married we will marry a duke or something. Just then their father came run- ning in very sorrowful and said all his ships were lost and now they would have to go and live in a little house in the country, but the proud sisters said, We will not have to go for these men will marry usf, Then the men said they wouldn't marry the proud things but they would marry the little 8 A's teacher, because she was so good, but the little 8 A's teacher said, I cannot leave my loving father. The next scene was where they were all living in the country and the little 8 A's teacher was working but the haughty sisters were stepping around wishing they could go back to town to live. Their father came running in and said his richest ship had come in and now they would be rich again, and they were so glad. The proud sisters were glad because now they could have more new clothes, but the little 8 A's teacher was glad because her father would not have to work any more. The father promised to bring them what they asked for and when the little sister didn't ask for anything he said, What shall I bring you? and she said, Father, just bring me a rose. The next time you see them the father is coming back from town and the haughty sisters come running to him and saying, Where are all our diamonds and fine clothes?,' but he was very sorrowful. He had some roses in his hand and he gave them to the little 8 A's teacher and said, You don't know what these things cost me. Then he told them how all his ships were lost again when he got back to town and as he was coming home he got lost and found himself in a palace where he got things to eat and a bed to sleep in but didn't see anybody. The next morning when he was going to go home he saw some roses and then he remembered that the little sister wanted a rose and when he picked it an animal was there and said he would be killed unless he sent one of the sisters there to die instead. So he began to say good-bye to them, but the proud sisters began to cry and said, Who will work for us when you are dead? Then the little 8 A teacher said she would go and let the animal eat her, and her sisters said, lt's all her fault, let her go, and they went and got her wraps. 57 up-at QE 1 9 0 9 N o-a,'rEgE li eases In the next scene the little 8 Ais teacher was sitting in a room and the animal was wanting her to marry him, and she said, Oh, no! no! noli' and every day he wanted to marry her and she wouldn't do it. One day she was looking into a looking glass and the animal came in and wanted her to marry him and she told him she wanted to go home and see her father because he was sick and the animal said she could go if she only stayed a week. ' The next scene the animal was lying on the stage in front and the little 8 A's teacher came in and was hunting for him and she didn't see him and she was afraid he was mad at her because she had stayed two weeks instead of one. Pretty soon she saw where he was lying and she was afraid he was dead and she began to cry and said she would marry him now. And the animal jumped up and threw off his animal skin and here he was a line prince. And a woman came in dressed all in white with a star with a handle on it in her hand and she stood behind the little 8 A's teacher and began to talk about her being a queen. And a lot of girls dressed up like fairies came dancing in, and the prince put his arm around the little 8 A's teacher, and the fairies danced around again, and then the curtain went down.

The Puritans despite their rules of right, Are dancing to the tune of Howdy Cy. The board is decked with cider and with pie. The maidens, gowned in gray with kerchiefs white Or clad in black, or wrapped in blankets bright, Take nimble steps in Comin' Through the Rye. John Smith, the valiant Captain, too is here. And Pocahontas, dressed in Cathern gown. The witch, who works with evil spell and charm, Must meet his fate midst frenzied wailings drear. And so the worthy Seniors rouse the town Till Katy howls and trembles in alarm. JENNIE MACWILLIAMS. 59 The Last Ray slipped across the faded canvasses upon the walls, lighting for a brief moment the faces and trappings of forgotten days. Each in its turn grew out of the dark, brightened, gleamed for an instant, and melted by imperceptible degrees into the sombre shadows. Presently the Last Ray wavered and vanished, then flashed back to linger lovingly on the piquant, upturned faces and quaint flowered gowns of four little girls. Every detail of the childish faces and filmy draperies, even the dainty slippers showed softly and distinctly in the fading, glimmering light of the Last Ray. And un- derneath the frame, cut deep in the dark panel were four names, delicately suggestive of their owners, Marjorie, Eleanor, Mary, Dorothy. When the shadows had gathered in the corners, and lay like a thick carpet over the floor, there was a rustling, a stirring of old fabrics. It was the Night of all the Year, and the ghostly hall was peopled with a still more ghostly company. The four children drew aside from the strange faces and gowns about them. l..et's run awayf, whispered Marjorie, 'il know a place where on the Night, every one dresses as We do, and they play the games we used to play. We'll go play with themf, There was a silence. Then as the grave, still throng drifted by, four little girls stole softly away to those who, for the Night, wore gowns like theirs, danced the steps they knew, and played the games they loved. DOROTHY I-IAMMETT. 60 M2322 THE 1909 NQRTHER gvggggg LINCOLN DAY We wish the giving of this tablet to express not alone our loyalty to our school but our honest tribute to the kindly, earnest, brave, foreseeing man - Abraham Lincoln. We wish it to be a small part of the widespread, universal patriotic fervor that fills the heart of every true American on this anniversary day. A-nd we wish it, too, to keep alive for all time in our school world, loyalty, sincerity, steadfastness and simple truth such as his. Lest We miss the true meaning of this time of enthusiasm, lest we forget that when words and l 1 , The tumult and the shouting dies 1 Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice An humble and a contrite heartf, may this tablet remind us, - may it speak to us of that something else in the face and ife of Lincoln which we feel but cannot express.

The words of this oration, httingly inscribed on a tablet which will wax not old. you have generously brought for our keeping. It is Fitting that this masterpiece of litera- ture should be held a treasure in a school engaged in training young people to teach the children of America. It is still more Fitting as a memorial of Abraham Lincoln. For the words, by virtue of the life of him who wrote them, carry his message to the American people for all time-to be absolutely sincere and simple in word and deed, to show kindness and charity to all mankind, to maintain and to love our country with single hearts, and to cherish ever that righteousness that exnltelh a nation. Miss PARMELEE. 6l THE 1909 NORTHER ggggg To the Little Bronze God THOU most worthy Perseus, of what wast thou thinking when the Ellwoods snatched thee from thy place of honor in the office and hid thee away from all admiring eyes? Didst thou IA F even then cast thy decision against them? Was their pride 4' so great, their confidence so unbounded that thou didst resolve to deny them thy august leadership for another year? or was it because they had no gor- geous silken banner to Haunt over thee? True it was they had not faith enough in thy power to even risk thy presence in General Exercises. Did thy heart warm toward the Glidden band then, O Perseus, and sanction their hope and their zeal? And then on that night of Friday the nineteenth, in all that gay, brilliant assembly, thou wast the greatest and most honored. As thou didst stand poised aloft during the hours of breath- less interest, thy face was immovable, inscrutable. Tho unseen, surely it was the keen point of thy bronze sword which pricked the olive-green balloon and at the same time the Ellwood hopes. O, thou little bronze god, tho fickle and cunning, thou art beloved and revered by all thy devotees! And it is the desire of thy new possessors that thou wilt choose to live long with those who wear the purple hue. 'W N 'I -. 1 , 62 ,gurl cu: O OJ IJ: cn -205. 95.-1 Ei Em hitmore.

You meet new people by the score They ask if this is your first year, And if to be at school seems queer, - If you have been from home before They ask if you're an only child, If you have lived upon a farm, Because you show a verdant charm,- Or if you fear the autos wild. And should you be a Senior wise Who has acquired a stately mien, You hear them say with insight keen, 9 That is a Freshman, I surmise., Yet when the play and songs are done And from the mosaic Hoor you rise, You say, I did not realize Receptions, stiff, could be such fun., JENNIE MACWILLIAMS Christmas Program. raining School.-Cricket on lhe Hearth QW , D -stale NN f' jf N QKNXV fo Sl R N1 'fx 453 j ss? gf 19 Z! ff z ff! val r 1 , f lx ' sew Q Qidl 1 ,Fw ii?

Q93 It is four oicloclc Friday afternoon. The bell sounds and the girls at the reading-tables and in the stack-room troop out of the library. They go upstairs and down the long hall to a little room at the end. Seated on the couch or on the pillows on the floor, they chatter and laugh until they hear the strains of a favorite hymn. After several hymns have been sung they listen to the leader. The subjects vary. It may be on one's duties to others, the daily vision of the Holy Grail, the worthy life of Alice Fremont Palmer, or a parable of Christ, or a song from the Old Testament. It is here they forget the cares and worries of the week past. It is here they gain strength to begin anew the duties of the next week. Then, after a benediction, as they leave the building, the sky, beautiful with its red and gold of sunset, seems in harmony with their feeling of rest and peace.

'X f 2, cs X 87 88 Maggy, TI-lI:L 1909 NORTI-IER TWELFTH NIGHT It is according to the part they assume in the work and play of the school world that we remember our comrades here. Certain ones there are who will hold enduring places among our pleasantest memories, secured through the good fun of Twelfth Night. On that most festive night of those festive days we waited, expectant, through the strains of the old Shakesperian melodies - unwontedly expectant, for our interest in the coming performance was not only an interest in the play, but a warm personal interest in the players - it was our own class play. And then what a transformation did we behold- and yet as the play goes on, it seems not such a transformation either, for we are constantly discovering in these players of the stage little mannerisms grown familiar to us through daily companionship, which seem to-peculiarly fit each one to his role. There punctilious gentlemen become well- appointed attendants and two others of well proven physical prowess are made trust- worthy officers of the law, the dignity of a most noble duke is easily acquired by a Senior class president. The most fastidious, well groomed, spick and span person we know of, comes befcre us clad in the gay garb of sea captain, yet is the change only on the out- side, for the genial, rollicking spirit of the sea-farer, and the roving unsettled disposition are elements not foreign to his make-up. It is well known that this saintly friar was not so long ago a barker for a snake charmer in a travelling show, yet methinks he wears his priestly roles with equal grace. Olivia, lovely Countess, well composed and serene, displays the same quiet power with which she meets us each day apart from this play world. We know that the gentleness of Sebastian is not an assumed virtue -- neither is the bravery feigned, which causes the braggartly courage of Sir Andrew to so speedily ooze away. An inborn, wholesome love of adventure is the happy requisite which ac- counts for this Winsome Viola, so entirely in her element as masquerader of the sterner sex, revealing herself a woman only in her perfect grace. With his accustomed ability to be of interest in whatever capacity it devolves upon him to act, Malvolio comes before us, now sour-faced, the corners of his mouth drawn down, walking with egotistic switch and swagger austere and important, now, inspired by the mysterious note, strutting in ecstacy, acquiring the sickish smile henceforth to adorn his face: and yet again we see him emerging from the prison all bristly vowing revenge for the indignities he has suffered at the hands of the scheming Maria. Look but once into those eyes of hers and you will understand why she is so perfectly at home in her part as perpetrator of mischief. But what awful thing is this! An orderly, at all times well deported model of sobriety, all bedecked in black and yellow stripes running round and round, by mine honor, half drunk, carousing hilariously with an ole frienn of his. Underclassmen, does not the dread term Physical Science strike less of terror to your souls since you have seen that the same potentate who is so enviably at home in coefficients of linear expansion and specific gravities and the like can also cut a caper excellently well? And you, little clown, may assume the stately mien of pedagogue and go into a new community and 89 mass iris 1909 NOETI-IER-i magma baflle the unsuspecting with your learned phrases, but there are those of us who can never forget how spontaneously you executed those kangaroo leaps into the air, or how nimbly you can turn a somersault backwards off the table. May you ever display as surprising ingenuity in handling diflicult situations as you did in the nonplussing wig disaster. And now the play is overg to us onlookers it has brought enjoyment, an apprecia- tion of the labor and sacrifices necessary to make so worthy a performance possible, and the same glow which success brings to you players - for you belong to us: to you who participated it has brought the personal benefit inevitably to be derived from such study, the satisfaction of having accomplished something worth while, and a wealth of memories of the good times of the rehearsals.

The End of the Game A slender crowd, a stretch of field, A bunch of grimy meng A signal call, a breathless rush, And the whistle sounds again. The ball is clown, some one's laid out, The referees offend- The girls attempt a feeble cheer And the game is at an end. Zoe MELWLLE. 99 Maggy THE 1909 NORTHER CHAPTERI FOOT BALL 1908. The season of 1908 was not what we wished it to be in games won, but considering the material which Coach Kellogg had at his command and the difficulties with which he had to contend the result of the season is more favorable. Coach Kellogg started the season with only six of last year's players as a foundation. The remaining places on the team had to be filled with new men, some of them having never seen a football game. Many of the men were light and this together with the greenness of the material, and the inability to get the men together for team work, made it almost impossible to develop a smooth-running effective machine. The first game was played with Rochelle High School, and while the score was 5-0 in their favor our boys played good ball considering their experience. Our next game was with Dubuque College, which ended I6-0 in favor of our opponents. The boys could hardly expect to win this game for Dubuque had a heavy team, outweighing our team thirty pounds to a man. In our next game the Alumni defeated us easily, 24-0, their knowledge of the game and weight being too much for our boys. Our next game with East Aurora should have ended in our favor, but because of a couple of costly fumbles it ended: Aurora l2, Normal 5. The next game with Sandwich was the first in which Normal played a winning game 'all the time. It ended 20-0 in our favor. The last game with Elgin ended 6-6. Our boys played good ball and the game stood 6-0 in our favor until the last few minutes of play, when a sudden burst of speed on the part of Elgin and two poor plays by Normal gave Elgin the op- portunity to even up the score.

Dr. Mc- Murry punted straight to me. Made a brave stab at it and missed. Took the next period out to get breath. Lined up again the third hour with forty-five minutes to play in arithmetic. Watched the signals pretty close and started around in the interference a couple of times, but for some reason Mr. Parsons always spilled me. Heard my signal and knew it was up to me to do something. Started straight ahead on a bluff, then side stepped and stiff armed Mr. Parsons with a question. That held him until time was up. Felt so good about that, I hurdled music and went out to run down a few grass- hoppers. Had to have something to slide in on Mr. Charles. I was up in the air and they were small and ducked me. Time was called before I got onto their game, let alone getting anything done. Went down to dinner, plowed through fish and potatoes and ran up against choco- late pudding for dessert. No thanks. Nothing like that in mineg passed it over the line down to my room-mate. Started for home but the Junior collector got under my stiff arm and threw me. Lost seventy-five cents of papa's good money in the scrimmage. Was nearly all in when I got to biology. Lost ground in the back seat with Mr. Charles driving straight at me. Thought I was up against it but the whistle blew just then and saved me. Stuck it out thru instructions and then piked for the dressing room. Started to crawl into my suit and found that some guy had had the nerve to swipe my socks. HOWARD JOHNSTON.

The new material, - there are only three of the old team left - under the generous coaching of Mr. Kellogg is working into shape fast. The team has played two games this season. In the first, because of the lack of experience, they lost to Northwestern College. The second proved to be a great im- provement over the first and the boys already show signs of their coming baseball knowl- edge. They won from Sycamore 9-4.

For my thought is reaching up in sympathy to the beings, who unseen except for their pallid faces, forever look down upon us from the walls as from an ancient pillory. And I am trying in vain to endow the plaster about them with transparency, to discover the manner of their imprisonment, to guess the secret of their elevation above us. By what device did the masters of this towered stronghold fix the persons of their captives so cruelly between floor and ceiling of this great room? As they on the platform proceed with the song, the sermon, the joke, for our soul's good weal, I study this problem in its various aspects. By no amount of ingenious planning can my imagination construct a platform under the feet of those martyr heroes that will sustain them in their places. Abraham l..incoln's six feet four beside the four feet two of General Grant defeat all my arduous labor. For behold, are not all the noses on the same level up there among the incandescents? I provide each one with a pair of stilts of a length corresponding to his personal number of inches. But alas, their heroic countenances sit not well on stilts. l suspend them from the ceiling by ropes of equal length. But such a standing insult to the reverend necks is inconsistent with the quiet composure of each reverend coun- tenance. For despite the uncomfortable fact of their transfixion in these walls, concem- ing the horrible secret of which they must evermore be silent, each martyr maintains an air of dignity that is almost contentment. They are proud to adorn the halls of learning, no matter how trying the circumstances. And this, be it remembered, is an old and well-loved form of structural decoration. Xve are toldithat Bluebearcl made use of it for the walls of his favorite chambers. Often- times have old London and other ancient cities been decked with many bloodless coun- tenances overlooking their streets. Even staid little Plymouth, indulging but little in carnal ornament, delighted in lining her streets with numerous pillories. F ar be it from us to discredit the ancient, well-loved style. Nor do we dispute the propriety of its use on the walls of this castle of learning. II6 Maggy THE 1909 NORTHER But O ye well loved heroes, when we seek you for council and inspiration, it grieves us sorely to find you, as tho, ye were all like traitorous Bocca, your faces turned to us from this upright sea.

And from the decree there is no escape - Till the walls shall crumble to ruin And moulder in dust away. MILDRED CAMPBELL. II7 The Castle Veritas Upon a hill there standeth a fair castle, O my sweet, upon whose gray stone walls and towers ivy climbeth. And below this castle lieth a wood where the wild-Howers grow and where there is a tiny brook that floweth gently. There is a lake, too, which reflecteth the green trees and which the sunset turneth to crimson and gold. And in the soft moonlight this castle is most beautiful, for then it looketh in truth as if an enchantment had been cast upon it. But, hark ye, clear-my-soul, for I would tell thee more of this castle. Dost thou ask, then, who clwelleth there? Knights ancl ladies, maidens and youths, all with one aim which lieth ever before them. This is the Castle Veritas and all who dwell therein live to teach others. And even as the lake rellecteth the green trees and the gray towers of the castle, so in the world is reflected the spirit of Veritas. For these knights and ladies remain not forever within the castle walls, but each and everyone goeth out into the world to bear his message unto those who clwell therein. And as each dweller of Veritas leaveth the gray towers and turneth his face toward the unknown, hope giveth him strength. For as he followeth the long roacl that leadeth to the land of Ever-Plaisance, the Vision which Veritas hath given, ever guideth him. RUTH MCMURRY. gQf .

HAZEL UNDERWOOD. I23 THE 1909 NORTHER ' The Spectator CAs pei unpublished in the Outloolfj. The Spectator had occasion to visit a certain Normal school not long ago. As a result of that visit he has something on his mind - something that will not leave him in peace but continues to haunt him in his dreams. That something is note-books. When the Spectator was young a note-book was a rare possession. The student was supposed to keep his knowledge in his head, not in a book of any kind. Now he has Arithmetic note-books, Psychology note-books, Geography note-books, Physical Training note-books, Zoology note-books, Physiology note-books, Botany note-books,-in fact, note-books which seem to hoard within their covers all the information known to the world. The Spectator does not wish to imply that the student does not possess all the knowledge that these books contain. He will leave that to the teacher. But he does wonder what the student is going to do with them all after he has finished school. Will these precious possessions be relegated to the attic to Hmoulder in dust away or will they accompany him wherever he goes, filling up trunks and almost crowding him out of his small rooms at the boarding house? The Spectator is inclined to think that many of them will find their way to that most destructive agent, the fiery furnace. As he ponders over this matter, the Spectator is more impressed by the note-book as an encumbrance than as a thing of utility and he feels with the student who added this postscript to a letter to her father: HP. S. Send me money, not for necessities, but for note-booksf, During the same visit the Spectator was an interested observer of those exercises seemingly known to the student body as General X. He enjoyed them Very much for it is not often permitted to him 'to see so many charming young ladies who are going to make teaching their life work.' But when the Faculty had regained their official dignity after the trying ordeal of singing a song and the choir had picked up the numerous books from their chairs and had finally seated themselves, then it was that a solemn hush fell upon the assembly. The Spectator held his breath as the worthy President glanced at a number of small slips of paper and then gravely pronounced a name. Immediately a young woman arose and with the utmost earnestness began to speak. The Spectator, seated in the back part of the room, was unable to catch the opening words, but thinking from her manner that she was going to give an oration was just settling himself in his chair for a half hour of enjoyment when suddenly she stopped and sat down. He had not yet overcome his surprise when he found that a young man was speaking 'in measured tones and slow., The Spectator recalled the quotation classes of his youth and prepared himself to respond when he should be called on. But suddenly these words fell gently upon his ear: ul have lost my History of Ed. note-book. Will anyone who finds it please return it to the office or to me. To the Spectator this utterance was not without significance, but he wondered who was the Edward referred to. And as he watched his interest grew. Could this be the modern way of training the student in the art of speech making? If so, the sympathy of the Spectator went out to the girl who, after 124 ggggg THE 1909 NORTHERi WW making a brave attempt, even though her voice did tremble, was asked to give her talk all over again, 'because the people on the other side of the room could not hear.' l-le was proud of the youth who spoke with such zeal about the Freshman meeting - surely the Freshmen must be a fine class. But when, after her name had been pronounced several times, one of the Faculty rushed to the front of the platform and hurriedly read a long list of names, the Spectatoris amazement knew no bounds. What are they doing? he asked that member of the faculty who was 'showing him aroundf C, just making announcements answered he. Well, this was the first experience that the Spectator had ever had with 'just making announcements, and he still ponders over the matter. Can it be that there is some psychical import that escapes him? Perhaps they teach the youth to talk upon his feet and thus Ht him for after life. The Spectator asks himself if this can not be a way of bridging the chasm between theory and practice. But there is one thing that he would like to have explained to him. What is regular y W?

LAUNA THOMPSON 126 ggggg T H E 1 9 0 9 NgO R rri EgR A Foot Ball Catastrophe It was the last game of the season and one of the hardest, for both teams were unusually evenly matched. Hunter, the half back for the home team, was playing again for the first time since his accident in the Wisconsin game. He had been allowed to go in against the better judgment of the coach, but the game was such an important one and he himself begged so hard to be allowed to play, that this judgment had been overruled and he was on the field, the most eager of all the eleven for the whistle to blow. No one in either of the huge grandstands was more enthusiastic over the game than l-!unter's father. He watched every play with a critical eye, anxiously waiting until he could see Jack disentangle himself from the scrambling pile of players. The game was a close one, the first half ending with a tie score. A tense silence fell on the crowds as the whistle marking the beginning of the second half sounded. They waited breathlessly for the first play following the line-up. Seven - eight - forty-two, sang out the Captain. Around the end a man darted with the ball. It was Hunter making for the goal. Ten, twenty, twenty-five yards he made when he was tackled, five or six men piling on top of him. One by one the men picked themselves off until only one man lay stretched out on the ground. It was Hunter! Was he hurt? The general opinion in the bleachers was that he was merely winded and playing for time. The trainers, with boys carrying pails of water and wet Sponges, ran out from the side lines. The other men crowded around the motionless player. The coach ran out, consulting his watch. The referees and the two coaches had a hurried consultation. Time had evidently been allowed. lhe group around the prostrate man had been increased by excited rooters who had run out from the side lines, and swarms of small boys who came from all directions. As the crowd shifted, Hunteris father who had been nervously watching the group, could see the trainers kneeling down working over Jack. Then one of the coaches ran toward the grand stand, returning in a few minutes accompanied by a man carrying a small black bag- a doctor! The rumor ran around that Hunter was still unconscious from a blow on the head, and that his collar bone was broken. Unable to stand the strain any longer, Hunteris father pushed his way out toward the field. The crowd instinctively opened to let the hatless old gentleman pass, wildly flourishing his walking stick. Half way across he met a small boy, Who's hurt? What's the matter? he asked. Hunter's kicked in the head. Guess he's killed, answered the small boy. Kicked in the head! Jack! Hurrying on the father reached the crowd, pushed them to right and left, wedged his way in, giving no explanation, speaking to no one. He reached his son's side. There Jack lay stretched out on the ground, face downward, while kneeling beside him and working over him were the doctor and the coach- sewing up a great tear in the seat of his trousers!

Suddenly there appeared before the Junior an uncanny creature, who seemed to be all eyes. I am Theme-Eye: follow me.', Even as he spoke they were in a strange land. A winding stream of red ink mean- dered through groves of strange shaped trees, reminding the Junior of the paragraph marks which weekly adorned her themes. What a noisy place it was! On benches under the trees sat the words: the dignified stately words, the strong words, the effective words, the descriptive words, and down in front sat the commonplace, the weak, the ineffective words. Those on the front seat were acting very strangely: they were con- stantly jurrping up and down calling their names. All the finer dignified words sat quietly by doing nothing. Once an effective Word stood up and called aloud its name, and everyonelooked amazedg even the trees seemed astonished and the birds in the trees made note of it. The Junior looked at Theme-Eye for an explanation. This, said Theme-Eye, is Vocabulary Park. Every time a Word is used in a theme, it must junvp up here and call out its name. Those poor fellows on the front seat are always overworked the night juniors write themes. Look,,' said Junior, there are several who have faintedg see they are dashing red ink in their faces to revive them. That often happens. It is because some one has mispelled themf' l28 ggggg THE 1909 NORTHER What's this queer building we are approachingllu s'It,s the Sentence Hospitalg you can see some of the patients walking around the grounds.

Then the noise of babbling words grew fainter and died away, the red river, the strange trees faded like a stereopticon picture on a canvas when the lights are turned on, and Junior found herself back in her room, her masterpiece not yet begun. And I didn't even get a souvenir for my scrap-book, she mused sadly. LAUNA THOMPSON. ,z4.......,.e., . .- , rr.-7 N- 'T ' ' 1 . -wqiilli ,,,..,... .-, .

They are the raw material which goes into the mill that grinds out, not well stuffed sausages, but well stulled brains. This mill is more complex than a sausage mill. It contains grindstones for sharpening the wits of those who pass through it, so that it turns their brains out not only well stuffed, but also active and efficient. There is also a series of sieves in the mill, through which they must pass, and all who are unable to adjust themselves to the size of the holes are caught and thrown out. Gnly the capable ones get through. Once when a noted Episcopal bishop was out walking of an evening, he saw a small boy on a front porch trying in vain to reach the door bell, and, being a kind hearted old gentleman, he went up and rang it for him. Then the boy said, Now run like thunder or they'll catch you! and ducked around the corner. So a good many Freshman C's who came here looking for a nice easy time find that they have to make a lightning change in their attitude and work like thunder or they will get caught. Most of them are wise enough to 'get busy,' and the rest stick in the sieve. When they get through they have demonstrated their ability. It is a great credit to the Freshman C's that most of them do pass through and so few are sifted out. May they all get through the mill not only safe and sound, but also happy and strong, and ready with a good will to conquer other worlds. DONALD MCMURRY.

STEVENS. l32 THE 1909 NORTI-lgER The New Germ The instant a person enters the Normal school, in a merely fragmentary way certain micro-organisms enter the system. There at first they live a life of intermittent dormancy until called into action by various duties imposed upon the student. Then they begin a gradual grouping, and with this organization comes a co-ordinate strength and tenacity. The symptons are different in nearly all cases. In some patients, the disease takes the form of the most absorbing interest in General Exercises. There come days of inter- mittent fever when the patient gives up even the joy of reading mail while the faculty divulge state secrets from their lofty dais. There are days when even the ringing of the third bell keeps down the mad impulse to seize books and rush forth. Statistics show that among other symptons patients have developed these: the power to pass the Auditorium door when the curtains are drawn and not even peekg to take full notes on addresses given in General Exercises: to speak quietly in the study hall and not to engage in war- fare during the absence of a teacherg and to always keep off the glass. The most fatal cases seem to feel that they are necessary factors at literary meetings. Every Saturday night they become visibly agitated, and at contest time they become uncontrol- lable. Those afflicted in this way have been known to seek offices. All of these are but the natural manifestations of the working of the germs. As yet there seems to be no positive cure. Time cannot give it. It seems rather to invigorate these bacterial bodies. Gratification of desires seems not to help. Work as prescribed in small doses by the attending physicians in the class rooms has no effect whatever. It seems rather to serve as a stimulant to these restless microbes. By the time two years, three years, or perhaps four years, have elapsed, the germs have entirely changed. From scattered, feeble, invisible cell-bodies they have become well organized, robust, invincible features of the Normal School life. It is impossible to destroy them. The only thing we can do is to carefully guard the invalids and train in the best direction this bacterial energy. GENEVIEVE A. MOORE. 'KT QS I 1.

Furthermore, l have seen the miraculous power of Mr. Parson and Miss Parmelee. Either one can take the zero quantity of knowledge of the most luckless student, raise it to the nth power, and extract the square root of it on the final reckoning day. I believe that Miss Weller knows how to work geography classes, and how to make geography classes work. I know that Mr. Whitten can tell one what kind of weather to expect a thousand years hence. I believe in Miss Simonson's literary strength, for she can carry all the Annuals of the library, fifteen in number, in one arm with Rebecca Mary in the other. It is well known that Mr. Page's name is Pages not Page, for who can think of a page containing all he says, besides all he knows that he does not say. l sincerely believe that once upon a raw and gusty day in the spring of nineteen hundred eight, lVliss Whitman went to Rome and found it really so. l not only believe in The Man With a l-loe, Mr. Balthis, but also in The Man Behind the Foot-Ball when that man is Mr. Kellogg. I am fully convinced that there is more than one descendant of the monkey in the Normal School, and that the soul of the paramoecium is immortal, for l have faith in the teachings of one Mr. Charles. l also believe in the wonderful memory of Mrs. Lund and also in the unfathomableness of her charity in seeking excuse lor dullness and waywardness, be the cause good, bad, or indifferent. I believe in a linely decorated library: Miss .Iandell and the cherubs in one room, Miss Milner and no cherubs in the other. Finally, by faith, l can see a higher, more ethereal life, after all the stages of Cookism, McMurryism, Vaughnism, and all the other Hismsn including Criticism, have been passed. l fully believe that there is an after-existence after completing two terms' work of teaching with a critic fsome doubt such a lifel. But l believe in this life, pro- viding one comes out in the full sunshine at the end: otherwise, there will be eternal starvation. I believe that when some have reached that happy life beyond, there is some- times a call sent up from the Normal School saying, Come back. They heed and do come back, as mortals wish spirits of heaven might heed the call to earth. MAMIE JONES. I35 gaxgggeg THE 1909 NQRTHER Miki?

When we first wake in the morning, yes, even before we are awake, we hear it, and again at noon and , . Vt! at X , at night. Sometimes it is the Boy playing, steady, patient, plod- ding Music, and sometimes the Girl, hurriedly, happily, more Q- E-ff carelessly. We study by the Music in the evening. It is the Boy's turn first. l-le plays the March Piece, the old stand-by that we have heard every day for two terms. We begin to tap on the floor with our toes, and grind out Latin in one, two, three, four, time. There - it is the eighth measure from the lirst, and we stop long enough for the Boy to make the usual mistake and the usual correction, and on we march again. We trudge laboriously thru his finger exercises and scales, and at last on to the new lesson: slowly and falteringly we go at first, then over and over the notes in more connected fashion, until we begin to get the swing of a new Piece. And soon back we go, in triumph, to the March Piece, and on thru some of the other old ones, keeping time to the Music, now and then, as the Boy grinds it out. But at last he stops and we know that the Girl has finished the dishes. We wait for her to gather up the Boy's thick, worn book, and arrange her own neat sheets on the rack. She too will play the March Piece first, rushing thru it pell-mell and without the notes, proud of the careless way she can look off from the keys as she plays. Finger exercises and lesson are finished in no time, and she plays over all her old Pieces for the rest of the hour. We take up our literature and try to fit the next day's poem to them. Now we skip thru the lines in easy rhythm, now more slowly, more uncertain. There are measures where we always stop over our book long enough to beat time for her, or hum the tune at the place where she makes the discord. One Piece is happy and laughing, and when she plays it, our poem is happy too: and one is quiet and sleepy, and the poem is restful: but one Piece brings an aching, tired feeling, with visions of a darkened room and the odor of sweet smelling Howers, and our book is forgotten while we look back and remem- ber the week the Girl learned to play that Piece. But gradually we become aware of a deep stillness settling over us, and we feel a strange vacancy in that room below. Then, hastily, we take up our psychology again, and begin to study, for the Boy and the Girl have finished practising. RUTH E. PORTER. 142 -I px. ..L., Mx Q' 4 L- x. ff ' n'. rl :iff 1 . THE i909 NoRTHER ggggg The Adventure of the Yellow Stain CA hitherto unpublished adventure of Sherlock Holmesj. ln looking over the records of Holmes' cases during our American tour, I find only one of much interest. During our stay in Chicago, Holmes and l were sitting in our rooms at the Auditorium hotel one morning, talking over the possibilities for one of his peculiar ability if he specialized in crime in that great city, when we heard a knock at the door and a messenger boy entered with a telegram for Holmes. I wonder what this is, he said, tearing open the yellow envelope. He glanced it over, and handed it to me. The dispatch read as follows: Something unusual has occurred. Please come to De Kalb if possible. John W. Cook. 'swhere is De Kalb and who is John W. Cook?,' l asked. Look up De Kalb on the map, will you Watson?,, said Holmes, taking a thick red volume from a shelf, while l look through 'Who's Who in America., Cook, John Williston-this must be the one- President Northern lll. State Normal School- Address, De Kalb, lll. Now how about De Kalb?H Here it is,,' said l. About fifty miles Vlfest of Chicago, on the Chicago and Northwestern Railwayf, Let me see said Holmes, picking up a time card. The next train leaves here at l2:30 and arrives at De Kalb at 2:30. It is now just twenty-eight minutes after eleven. Watson, what do you say to running out to De Kalb and looking the affair up? It may prove a wild goose chase, but it promises to be interesting, and in any case will be better than stagnating here. Nothing would suit me better, l replied. LsWe will have time to get our lunch at the depot. Holmes disappeared into his room, and emerged a minute later carrying a hand bag. We took the elevated to the Northwestern station, and were soon rolling across the Illi- nois prairies toward De Kalb. Dr. Cook met us as we got oft the train with his auto- mobile, and took us to his house, a large red brick mansion with an imposing Greek portico. He ushered us into his private study and invited us to be seated. ul perceivef' said Holmes, that you repair your own automobile, use a typewriter, and had chicken for dinnerf' You are right in all these particularsf' said Dr. Cook, Hbut l must confess that I do not follow your line of reasoning. ul know that you repair your own autof' said Holmes, because you have a small spot of lubricant on your nose, which you must have got by crawling under the machine to make repairs. 1 ul did have some troublef, Dr. Cook admitted: ul know from the appearance of your finger tips that you use a typewriter, and the spot of chicken gravy on your vest tells me that you had chicken this noon. l have made a special study of gravy stains, and have even been guilty of a monograph on the sub- ject, as gravy is one of the things most likely to be spilled on the clothing, and it is often of the utmost importance in detection to know what a man had for his last meal. Pray proceed with your story. . This morning about ten o'clockH said Dr. Cook, Mr, Shoop, our head janitor, noticed, while he was dusting the woodwork in the hall, a large brown stain behind one 144 ggggg THe l90V9 NORTHER A M of the radiators which proved to be from a quid of tobacco. Several of the students saw it While Mr. Shoop was scrubbing it up, and it is probably known to a large part of the school already. In order to save our reputation it is absolutely necessary to detect the offender and make an example of him. I cannot understandv continued Dr. Cook with some agitation, how any of our boys could do such a thing. I hope the blame can be fixed upon some outsider, but I fear it can not, as there was no one in the building except students at the time. Does Mr. Shoop chewy' asked Holmes. lVly dear Mr. Holmesi' cried Dr. Cook, Hit is preposterous to suppose that he could do such a thing. It is a possibility, Holmes replied, Hand all possibilities, however improbable, must be taken into account. Who were the young men who watched lVlr. Shoop clean up the stain, and what other persons were in the building this morning? lVlr. Love and Mr. Kays watched him. Two others, Johnston and Holm, were in the building at the time. Several others had left a short time before. What were their names?i' asked Holmes. Tyrrell, Givens, Woodburn, lVlcC-rath, and johnsonf, replied Dr. Cook. I think that is all, said Holmes, writing the names in his pocket book. I am ready to look over the ground now.', We climbed into the automobile, and in a few minutes slowed down in front of the Normal, which looked like a transplanted castle in the midst of terraces and newly planted shrubbery. We entered and found ourselves in a long corridor which extended the entire length of the building. The most noticeable thing in its appearance was its extreme clean- liness and tidiness. We Walked toward the West end of the long hall, and turned into a small passage with a stair running up the side which led to a door at the rear of the building. Here Dr. Cook paused beside a steam radiator. This is the place where the stain was foundl' said he. I had Mr. Shoop scrub it up, as it did not occur to me to send for you until afterwards. I see that the floor has been scrubbed, and that a number of people have walked over it since morning. In fact, no step has been neglected which would make the detect tion of the guilty person difficult. I hope however, that I can make something out of what traces there are left. As he spoke a man stepped around the corner. He was above middle height, was rather stout, wore spectacles, and had his hair arranged in two precise curls. Howdy do,', said he, turning to me, I suppose you are Mr. Sherlock Holmesf' No, I replied, this is my friend lVlr. Holmes, I am Dr. Xxfatsonf' Gentlemen, said Dr. Cook, this is Mr. Shoop, the superintendent of the build- mg. Glad to meet you gentlemen, said Mr. Shoop heartily. I suppose you have this thing all figured out by this time. No, replied Holmes, We have just arrived on the spot, and have not had time to look over the evidence yet. But I would like to hear your account of everything that took place. Do not omit any details, however unimportant they may seem. lVlr. Shoop told his story, giving essentially the same facts as Dr. Cook had given. I think that is all, said Holmes when he had finished. If you will kindly stand aside, I will examine the passage to see what I can find. He pulled a powerful lens out of his pocket, went down on his hands and knees, and began to examine the floor with the most minute and eager attention, muttering to himself as he found anything that pleased or displeased him. The Hoor was hard marble mosaic and had been scrubbed since morning, but although Dr. Cook and lVlr. Shoop I45 C f .Ties '202 If OB ZHPCTY assess looked on skeptically, I knew from his occasional grunts of satisfaction that he was at least finding clues, if not hot on the trail. He followed the invisible tracks out into the hall, and turned toward the Biological laboratory, but after going a few feet he stopped and began to examine the floor and part of the wall with the utmost care. Suddenly he gave a .little cry of satisfaction, and I knew that he had found something important. He then again stooped to his hands and knees, and followed the trail nearly half way down the hall, where he turned into an open doorway. This, I presumef, he said to Dr. Cook, who had followed him, is the ladies' cloak roomf' Yes,,' said Dr. Cook, Hthis is one of them, the other is across the hallf, Holmes examined a considerable portion of the floor both inside and outside the door, and then started back up the hall, gazing abstractedly at the ceiling. Suddenly he smiled, and I knew that he had hit upon a solution, and that it amused him. Have you found any clues?,' asked Dr. Cook. Oh-I beg your pardon?,' said Holmes, coming out of his fit of abstraction with a start. Dr. Cook repeated the question. I think I am on the right trackf, Holmes replied, but I shall have to corroborate my theory with further evidence before I can be suref' He walked through the swinging door into the small vestibule at the end of the passage, and examined it carefully. Where do these doors lead? he asked. One opens into the laboratory and the other into the fan room downstairsf' replied Dr. Cook. And the sidewalk outside? That leads to the manual training shop and the engine roomf, said Dr. Cook. Then it does not extend around the building and back to the road by which we came? asked Holmes. The walk doesn't go clear around, but we can go around the engine room or through the shop, said lVlr. Shoop. Then let us go that wayf' said Holmes. I would like to go in first and see what I can make of it. He stepped in when Mr. Shoop unlocked the door, and stooped to examine the floor in one or two places. When he arose I saw a gleam of satisfaction in his eye. Let us go on around this wayf, he said. This little problem seems somewhat interesting, and I think I will remain here over night to see it throughf' Have you discovered a clue to the guilty person?,' asked Dr. Cook. There is still some work to be done before I can say with accuracyf, said Holmes. I shall make my headquarters at the Glidden House downtown, and if anything turns up you can notify me there.', But you and Dr. Watson are to stay at my house tonight, said Dr. Cook. lVlrs. Cook will have everything prepared, and will be very much disappointed if you do not come. I am sorry that I cannot take advantage of your hospitalityf, said Holmes. Please express my regrets to Mrs. Cook. I wish to do a little investigating on my own account, and would like to preserve my incognito. I am sure, however, that Dr. Watson will be glad to take advantage of your offerf' I was somewhat put out at being left out of the most exciting part of the adventure, but swallowed my disappointment and thanked Dr. Cook for his kindness. Accordingly I whizzed down one road in the automobile while Holmes trudged down the other. I spent a very pleasant and enjoyable evening with Dr. Cook. He proved a most interesting host, and entertained me at dinner with most amusing anecdotes of his exper- iences as a teacher, the success of some of his former pupils, and of other famous Ameri- 146 22323 THE IQOQNORTHER Qgsggagg can educators. I-le excused himself soon after supper on the plea of pressing work, after placing his library at my disposal. I tried to read, but found myself puzzling over the strange affair which had so unexpectedly brought us out from Chicago. I tried to apply my friendis methods, but without success. I finally fell asleep that night to dream that I was attending the Normal, that I had been guilty of the crime, and that Holmes was running me down. I The next morning after breakfast Dr. Cook and I were discussing the possible out- come of the case, when I noticed through the window a tall young man turn up the walk leading to the house. I-le was dressed in light-colored peg tops, with his hands thrust deep into the pockets, a blue coat, and yellow oxfords, and wore a bright green hat tilted over his eyes. A minute later the door bell rang and Dr. Cook stepped to the door. How do you do I heard him say, Is there anything- Why - how do you do, Mr. I-lolmes. I hardly expected to see you in this strange guise. You have been investigating, I suppose. Have you met with any success? I have had a rather interesting timef' replied Holmes, as he stepped in to where I could examine his preposterous costume, and although the affair has had no difficult features, it has been a nice little problem in determining the motives and accounting for the remarkable actions of a young man in love.', Have you found the culprit?H asked Dr. Cook anxiously. I have, replied Holmes. But I see that you are somewhat interested in my methods, and perhaps you would rather hear my investigations and deductions in their proper order, instead of working from the result backwards. I should be glad to, replied Dr. Cook, but somewhat impatiently. I had found no definite theory, Holmes continued, Uwhen I got to the building. It is always a capital mistake to theorize before the facts of the case are at hand. I immediately began to examine the foot prints on the floor. But Mr. Holmesf, interrupted Dr. Cook, it is beyond my comprehension how you could see any marks at all. The floor is hard marble, and had been scrubbed a short time before you saw it. i It is merely a matter of careful observation of the most minute details, replied Holmes. I have trained myself to be a careful observer. These foot prints then, told me that only one person besides you and lVlr. Shoop had approached near enough to the radiator to lean over it. This simplified the problem, as it was only necessary to discover the identity of that person. He had come from the hall directly up to the radiator. deposited his chew behind it. and walked directly out into the hall again. I-le then walked a few steps toward the laboratory door, where he met a young lady, with whom he talked for a considerable length of time, judging from the number of prints on thc floor. ilihis furnished a motive for the crime. He wished to talk with her, but was afraid she would discover what he had in his mouth if he did not get rid of it. I also found on the wall, where he had been leaning against it, marks which must have been made by a coatsleeve trimmed on the edges with a kind of braid or tape. I knew from the length of his stride that he was about six feet tall. I next followed the young lady's tracks to the cloak room. She had waited near the door for some time, and then had gone out. It occurred to me that the young man must have made an engagement to walk home with her, but, troubled by a guilty con- science, had either forgotten or had been afraid to come back. Upon examining the vestibule back of the passage I found that our tall friend had gone out that way and had presently returned with another young man. They probably saw Mr. Shoop through the crack in the door, however, and knew that the crime was discovered, for they turned, beat a hasty retreat through the workshop, and went home. I47 THE 1909 NQRTHER M2323 My next step, after I left you, was to assume this disguise, in which I could mingle with the young men of the school until I found one who would answer the description of our tall friend. I pretended to be a new student looking for lodgings, and got acquainted with some of the boys at the Culver house. I found out from them that the tall fellow who wears a coat trimmed with tape on the edges is named Woodburn.,' Then Woodburn is guilty, ejaculated Dr. Cook. I also found, Holmes continued, that the young lady lives at the Kilmer club, and that Woodburn had gone to see her after supper, probably to account for his deser- tion of this morning. When I visited the Kilmer Club and found that they had quarreled. but had later made up, I considered my theory provenf' lVlr. Holmes, cried Dr. Cook. Hthis is truly wonderful. It was really a very simple problemf, said I-Iolmes. But I would like to interview Woodburn and ask him a few questions. Dr. Cook stepped to the telephone, and in a few minutes the bell rang and Wood- burn was ushered in. lVlr. Woodburnl' said Holmes, sternly, Why didn't you get rid of that tobacco juice before you came into the building? Woodburn turned deathly pale, and for an instant I thought he was going to faint, but he quickly recovered himself. Ward bet me the treatsf' said he, that I didnit have the nerve to take a chew into the building with me, so I did it. Then I met Leah in the hall, and I didn't want none of that tobacco in my mouth when I was talking with her, so I left it behind the radiator. I am truly sorry for what I have done, and I intend to leave school and go to the backwoods somewhere, where I can begin life over again and try to do betterf' My boy,', said Holmes, kindly, we all make mistakes at times, even the best of us.

Every tower loomed grandly against the setting sung every weather-vane pointed windward, the grinning gargoyles looked down upon the grass beneath with unfathomable eyes. And now the lord of the castle had come to view the finished work. It is indeed a noble structure fit for its great purpose, but it must be different from all other castles. Let us surmount its turrets with symbols of its purpose. lhen spake he to the master sculptor, Make me a statue that will be an embalem of the work which we will here accomplishf' Long pondered the master sculptor: then took he a rough stone, and hewed and chiseled and hammered. At last he had wrought an uncouth, upright figure which was neither animal nor human, and yet might be either. 'l'his, he said to his lord, ls a symbol of the youth when they shall first come to this castle, their minds unlormed, their characters not yet shaped. No one can tell what they were meant to be nor what they will yet become. 'llhen said his lord, 'KlVlake me many of these. We will station them on the turrets and towers. And he called them grifhns. Then took the sculptor another stone and from this wrought the figure of the bird that since lVlinerva's time has always been asso- ciated with wisdom. lhen was his lord well pleased. This owl shall symbolize our youth after they have been trained in our noble halls, and he placed it in the position of honor over the Beautiful Gate. LAUNA THOMPSON.

I52 HEMMH3 l53 THE 1909 NCJRTHER ggggg EAR Lady of the North Wind, with your slender silver crescent ,I and pale wind-tossed hair, they say you are to come again this year, bringing with you once more your train of golden mem- e ories of happy schooltime. We know that you are awaited l . .,ii with eager impatience and your coming will be hailed with joy by those of whose deeds you bring the record. Yet we, whose schooltime lies in days gone by, know that they who await you now can be no more eager for you than were we, and their greetings no more sincere than were ours in former days. And well we know, too, that our joy in you has grown deeper as time has carried us farther from those days. Nothing is so potent in recalling old friends and old scenes as a glance into the records of the past years which you have left with us. Many a moment, half glad, half sad, have we spent in turning their pages and musing on things once familiar but now hazy in mem- ory. And we, whose special privilege it was to gather the facts and fiction of our own year for your books, have long since forgotten the long, hard hours of toil and the dis- appointments they cost us, and regret only that we did not toil harder and think with fresher thought. So, dear Lady of the North Wind, give to the class of this year deeds that they will be proud to record and a record worthy of their deeds. Bring to them a book that will be for many years a chronicle of happy memories and true and lasting friendships. MARY V. CARNEY.

It is due to the dynamic power of the latter that scores of the Alumni Hock back to their reunion in October. But what shall we say of the smaller gathering held each year in January? Then it is that Duty, with a stern brow, unrelentingly points the way for a round dozen of the faithful band to don the familiar old suits and prance around the gymnasium for the extreme edification of the present Normalites. Then it is that Fear makes them stand silent before the talkative present teams. It is not theirs to question why or make reply. They play their game of basket ball with a determination to get it over as quickly as possible. When the game ends they look for sympathy at least. They are told that they have grown stout and that in action they resemble the threshing machine. But now that Duty has done her work it is pleasant to talk over the scores of former years. Father Time has not dealt harshly with us after all, and the Fates were kind enough to let the Alumni girls win by one point. We are proud that we once played on the Normal teams! We are proud that we once beat the Alumni! We are proud of the present teams! May the best games they have ever seen be the worst of those still to come! The Alumni who responded to Duty,s call on january the twenty-third were: Elva Lundberg, Alvin Farr, Ruth Earle, Donald Kays, Mabel Olsen, Irvin Madden, Edith Hamilton, Warren Madden, Irene Cushing, William Cornell, Olive Swift, james Ackert, Maud Mallin, Joseph Walker. New Clothes With a rattle and a clatter comes the old-clothes man, A-driving thru the streets of Alumni Land, Early in September with his noisy cart he goes, Carrying away the old Normal clothes. Garments of the schooldays, worn thru many a fray, Like a broken war steed now are cast away. Thotless Alumni, why will ye part From the robes that should be dearest to the heart? And they all make answer in their manner grand, We,re going visiting back to Normal land, And back there at Normal, as every one knows, Alumni never did go without new clothes. So with swishing and with rustling the Alumni band Come sweeping down the corridors of Normal Land. Dazzled by their glory, dumb with awe and fear, The Normalites forget to say, How glad we are you're here! iliremble not, O student, for bye-and-bye some day, You'll be as reckless with the first month's pay: For the height of all the splendor which the teacher knows ls coming back to Normal in brand new clothes. INGA ARNTZEN. l55 THE 1909 NORTHER ggggg MABEL CARNEY Mabel Carney is an enthusiast. She manifested this characteristic quality as a student as soon as she had settled down to her duties in the Northern Illinois State Normal School, which she entered on September 23, 1901. She had graduated two months before from the Marseilles High School at sixteen years of age, taking the four-year course in three years. She was, therefore, one of the youngest pupils in school. All of her work was done with that spirit of ardor and zest which is never exhibited unless the work is thoroughly enjoyed. Every day seemed to her a delightg every recitation a privilege: every added increment of knowledge a treasure. It is sure that no one of her teachers will ever forget her. After she had been five terms in school the Board of Directors of a certain district in Putnam County came to De Kalb to secure a teacher. They had a way of getting the best and paying for it. It was determined to recommend Miss Carney for the posi- tion and she was promptly employed. And thus it was she began her notable career as a country school teacher. She organized not only the school but also the community, and the two groups worked together enthusiastically as essential parts of a genuine educational institution. l-ler influence may be estimated from an article in The Independent from which the following quotation is made: The insight of the principal of the Western Illinois State Normal School soon discovered this teacher of the new order and made her the supervisor of a model country school, as an intergral part of the work in solving the problems of country schools in Illi- nois. A formerly dilapidated country school two miles from the Normal School, is the present scene of her immediate efforts. In the Summer Term of the present year seventy teachers came to learn of her. Cn July l8th these county teachers organized themselves into The Country Teachers' Association of Illinois, of which Miss Carney is president, and so far as is known, the only one of its kind in this country. As is indicated only a portion of the article is here presented. It touches the high- water mark of appreciation but is in all ways just. Not long since I visited her school and found it in its leading characteristics genu- inely ideal. The basement made an excellent shop for bench work. A piano and pictures furnish the art element to the little schoolroom. At the close of the school, on the day of my visit, a cantata was excellently rendered, the pupils being assisted by former pupils and a few outsiders, the whole constituting their local club, which meets for mutual im- provement at the schoolhouse at regular periods. Space limitations forbid any elabora- tion of her school scheme. She has demonstrated that it is possible to make a country school in every way equal to the best town schools and better than most, by the utiliza- tion of the educative features of the country life. As has been said, Miss Carney left the Normal School at De Kalb before her graduation, but she completed the course in absence and received her diploma at last Christmas time. Her fame has gone abroad and she is greatly in demand as a lecturer on the country-school question. She is an excellent speaker and her earnestness and en- thusiasm are contagious. She has been awarded a scholarship in Teachers, College and is destined to fine eminence in the field of modern education. l56 ggggg THE 1909 NQRTHER magma Q!

In the valley of Rock River, In the land of Winnebago, Sy the pleasant helds and forests, Dwelt the great chief Ow ,le Kernwa. All around him lived the children, And around him he would see them, Green in Summer, green in iWinter, Greener than the grass in Springtime. He could see them in his visits, To the many different tepees. In answer to his signals And of other chieftains with him, The wise men gathered round him. And among them were some others Who could tell of many wise thingsg How the little brown papooses, In their homes on the Kishwaukee, Learned about the streams and valleys, From their teacher Weller-tal-wung Learned about the mighty warrior, In the land far south and westward, Who had run for miles unnumbered, And had kicked a block before him. And another rose among them, Berrycookum, they all called her, - Told them how to make the porridge, How at home they made the porridgeg How they took the maize ears golden, That were gathered by Kishwaukee, Mixed them with the clear, cool water, And stirred it with a Wooden paddleg How at banquets in the village, When the natives came and feasted, She would make a dinner for them. One big chief there was among them, Fred-la-more-wis his name wasg Told them of the wondrous secret: How to make the maize ears bigger, Big as trunks of oaks to grow themg Made known to the Winnebagoes, All the art of agriculture.

Q tif 5 1 IJ H Q R T The new edition of the Alumni Jester is in- tended for a reference work for the use of both students and alumni. Students in need of ad- vicc may profit by the mistakes as well as the successes of former students. The articles have been selected with this end in view. They con- sist almost entirely of articles by the editors on each other and interpofations and emendations by the Norther Board -which the reader can doubtless determine for himself. The editor-in- chief is eminently qualified for her job. She is in a better position for observing returning alumni and alumnae for at least their new hats when they are so large as to obscure other parts of their persons, than any one else we know of. The assistant editors are all well known spe- cialists in the lines in which they write. Mr. Madden, who promised to contribute an article ' on Spoiled Darlingsf' has had the best preparation to prepare such an article. Mr. Holt is a well known authority on Nissl bodies, as well as on systematics. Mr. Putters qualifi- cations for preparing his article on The Court- ship of a Cautious Man can hardly be ques- tioned. With these distinguished persons at the helm, we cannot but express our assurance that this edition of the A'Alumni Jester will meet with unqualified success and will give universal Sahsfachon' Norllier Board. : Asleep at the switch.

Malta Is Taken The Rustic Village of Malta, most noble counterpart: of that other illustrious Mediter- ranean Malta, famous for its burning rocks, has been captured from the forces anti-scholastic and non-progressive. One Ray Puffer, trained to Educational Warfare in the N. l. S. N. S., ALONE. U NASSISTED SINGLE.- I-IANDELD has taken by storm in a single day this seeming- ly impregnable fortress. RAY IS IRRESISTIBLE. Progressive education throughout our entire land is lost in awe and admiration of the psy- cho'ogical, pedagogical and unwavering methods used by the brilliant, blonde and belligerent Puffer. When the capture is complete and secure, Puffefs leadership will be demanded in other fields equally dangerous and vital to scho'astic progress. Gur prayer is that he may be kept humble and spared to these greater works. .loi Nissl Bodies At Work Although the existence of Nissl bodies is by no means a new scientific discovery, it has re- mained for the famous bacteriologist, Newell Darrow Gilbert, to demonstrate their practical commercial value. It was not until the spores from the famous Cultures of l908 had been distributed from the Gilbert laboratories at De Kalb that the world began to sit up and take notice. Filled with the Everlasting Yes-and-No, Mr. Gilbert knew no rest until he had start'ed the world with the discovery that this new bacil- lus was neither a pachyderm nor an echinoderm, but was a species of the recently identified bat- tygerm. This remarkable announcement so revolutionized the science of poptics as to inter- fere with the distribution of the specially pre- pared cultures technically known as alumnae. Some of the most noteworthy investigations in Nisslology have been pursued at Newark, where Charles E. Holley is director of a sub-laboratory and experiment station. Many of the most vigorous spores used in starting the cultures here were brought from De Kalb by Miss Elizabeth Bascom Powers, who has made her experiments with Nissl bodies the talk of Kendell County so much that the farmers have gone to raising them to the neglect of other live stock and garden produce. Of all the experiments in Nissl culture tie most remarkable are undoubtedly those of Miss Mae Foster, who set out Nissl slips in the Childs Garden of Verses at Oak Park. Be- yond the fact that she harvested a crop of limericks and hardy iambic pentameter couplels, Miss Foster is not yet ready to publish the re- sults of her experiment. All interested are im- patiently awaiting the first authoritative bulletin. The hardihood of Nissl bodies under adverse conditions has been demonstrated by Mr. Bert Kays, who raised some crop on the deserts of New Mexico, and by Miss Anna Brakel of Boise, who writes: At first l feared that the cold winter would kill the Nissl bodies l planted in prepared nervous systems, but they seemed to like it. This spring l have been feeding them hot air and they think it's great. All her acquaintances will agree that M'ss Brakel should be able to raise prize Nissls for the county fair. We are unable for lack of space to give the investigations of all the prominent experimenters, but we quote from some of them the follow- ing:- Ray Puffer: Good for the Botany class. Before l fed them Nissl bodies they had dif- ficulty in drawing the lsopyrum biternatum on page 93, but now they not only faultlessly por- tray the l.

Our camp was christened, by outsiders, the Palace of Sweets, and each camper was con- sidered as a Confection and had her special name. There was the Chocolate Drop, our Motherkins, the Lemon Drop, the All- day-sucker, HTaffy, five a yard but short measure, Marshmallow, our n'intimate friend Emmy Lou and the uOpera Stick, the Fat Lady, in spite of her-industryf?J. ln the first place, the Palace of Sweets was in possession of the Amazons, but what need had we of men? For the hewing of wood for the big fire-place, for the drawing of water from the distant spring, for the designing and execu- tion of unbelievably delectable dishes, for the final and satisfactory settlement of all questions, political, educational, ethical. and philosoofical for the plucking of turtles from the water pail and angle worms from the sugar bowl, we were all sufficient. One of our few associates was our next door neighbor, an excellent lady for the lending of ginger for the brewing of a certain tea, much recommended by physicians for ailments com- monly induced when our Motherkins and the Lemon Drops were the cooks. ln fact this was a most estimable lady, despite the circumstance that she had two sons. These latter, persons of discriminating intellect have already associated with the before mentioned turtles and angle worms. Being exceedingly methodical people we did our work in shifts. My partner was the All- day-sucker and for some reason we were con- sidered a lazy pair. l well remember on one occasion we had a most elaborate dinner and, since it was not our turn to wash dishes, we were feeling very complacent. But when our Mother- kins turned to us and began to pity us, such is the power of suggestion, we immediately began to pity ourselves, and, at the close of the meal, we at once went to work at the dishes. We, the lazy ones! Contrary to their usual custom, the rest of the family disappeared from the palace directly. Suddenly, in the midst of the primeval chaos of our kitchen, a stupendous thought oc- curred to us. It was not our turn to wash dishes! Leaving things as they were, we immediately sought tlte others, discovering them sitting upon the ground, with tears rolling down their cheeks, holding their sides, distorting their faces, and even shrieking. The lazy ones caught at last! l-lenceforth we shared the name of All-day- sucker. The Opera Sliclf. ,ho-.....

I never thought I should miss more than one or two of them at a time, but I do miss them all. I looked forward with interest to seeing the cowboy girls of the plains, that we hear about, but they didn't prove up, and if I have seen any Cheyenne or Navajo girls they didn't look like their pictures. - - -- I enjoy the hours of study as much as ever. I plan my courses along the line of least resist- ance.

The fesler, De Kalb, Illinois. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speakethf' and so, instead of dwelling on the glories of the smiling west, I must needs un- burden my mind concerning the burden of flesh that haunts me. If anyone thinks it a light mat- ter to gain thirty pounds, let him go to Idaho to try for himself. Those thirty poumds! Going without meals and taking long horseback rides seemed only to add to them. No senior worn and forlornu ever studied Rosenkranz with greater motive and earnestness than I studied Anti-fat advertisements. I secretly longed for courage to take Rengo, nature's great remedy for obesity- to be eaten like candy. But dark stories with pointed morals were told me of other foolish girls who had triedsimilar medicines to ruina- tion of their health. After all, it is sad as well as amazing, to contemplate what a large number of people have friends who in turn have friends who knew a girl who took an anti-fat remedy and died from its baneful effects. 532222 THE 1909 NORTHER mggsgm Some said the thirty pounds were becoming- I do not harass myself concerning their con- sciences for I know how kindly 'twas meant- others more frank than considerate, dimly hinted or openly suggested that I could afford to lose a few pounds. I firmly agreed with these honest sentiments and wailed to the old lady who was so hollow she looked like a black ironing board, when she told me she'd rather see me stout and sensible than scrawny and silly like other girls: But l'd rather be scrawny, and silly like other girls than stout and sensible all alone. Being thoroughly disgusted with Idaho and all other places that have altitudes that produce flesh faster than a diet of corn and olive oil ever could, I came to Tacoma to sea level to have done forever with plateau countries-and the turn in the road came last week when I found myself ten pounds lighter than for months. And while as yet, dear friends, I am not become the shred of humanity to which Mr. Keith loved to refer, still those absent ten pounds give me a sweet hope. Arise, my soul, strain every nerve thy twenty pounds to remove! And so with the cherry trees in bloom and the song of the robin in the air, even tho' I wait to lose twenty pounds, I'll sing in the words of the poet, Joseph Walker: I'll try to be contented, l Look happy and serene, Think not things are invented To throw me in a steamg Be thankful I am living Tho' life's not one sweet dream. Sincerely yours, Anna H. Heine. Aoi... A Midsummer Night's Dream of One of the Supes Two years ago, with some friends, I took up my abode in the little village of Cranford where l remained until the Twelfth Night last year, when we decided to scarcefy our humble selves. Gathering our numerous An- nuals and other valuable articles of warfare we set forth to seek our separate fortunes together. Becoming drenched while in a Mlqempestn we hastened to a neighboring farm house where, while seated around the open fire place, was told many a Winter's Tale. But, wishing to make the next village that night, as soon as the storm ceased we again set out. The road lay between two dark and gloomy forests. Plodding careless- ly along we were startled by a voice crying ul-loldf' One of our party, a man of great presence of mind, spoke up, As you like it, which saved us for the moment at least.

I met our friend, Bill Johnson A green hat in his hand He said, How do you like it, lt's the style throughout the land. L' 'Tis the most disgraceful color For a hat, that e'er was seen. I never tho't a Senior grave Would wear a hat of green., For Sawyer and for Fogle 'Tis a most becoming hue And as long as they are Freshmen That shade will always do. But all we girls of Normal No longer will be seen With a man who wears upon his head A hat of vivid green. All honor to old Ireland The Shamrock and St. Pat. l-lis color is a line one We all agree to that. And Freshies love this color That everywhere is seen, But they, alone, are privileged To wear a hat of green. 176 M2322 THE 1909 NORTHER Bits of Advice from Our Advisors Well, girls, how is the world treating you today? Any trouble with your room- mates?,' If you can't go driving during the day don't go at all. You're not to go after darkf, I noticed the other evening at the Washington Party the peculiar manner in which some of the boys held the girls when dancing. Just come forward, Miss B -.H flgosesj. Is that artistic?,' Now, girls, it all depends upon how you walk. I attribute all my good health to my manner of walking. Fold your umbrellas and carry them by the middle. When eating soup, dip away from you with your spoon. Never tip the dish. Now, in this village of Clovelly -.H Wear your rubbers on rainy daysf, I do wish our girls would be more careful of their voices. In England the women have such well modulated voices. All invitations should be answered promptly. If you donit know how, follow the form on the bulletin board. I hear that there has been some rough-housing, boys. Now, will you promise to be good? Will you? Will you?', Girls, do be careful and do not call each other by your last names. It isn't fine. How late are you staying up to study? Do get to bed early. The best students are those who get plenty of sleep. ' I77 A ' iZ1lHE 1909 NoRi'HER ' WANT ADS WANTED-A curfew bell in De Kalb-Some Advisors. WANTED-More boys in the N. l. S. N. S. 4 The Girls.

RESULTS: We took two pieces of different variety, fone being pumpkin, the other applel, and distributed them equally among the class of twenty students. The pie had to be handled carefully, especially the pumpkin variety for it showed a remarkable tendency to disintegrate. After the pies were dis- seminated among the class, the instructor gave the word to separate the pie into atoms fbeing careful not to lose the smallest ion either on the floor or .on the pupils' apparell, to mix well with saliva and then filter thru the oesophagus. fThe entire process takes place in the mouthj. CONCLUSION: The said pie gives much satisfaction and enough potential energy, when converted into kinetic energy, to get good physics lessons for two weeks. FORMULATED CONCLUSIONS: Therefore 2 II fpiel : IO molecules of potential energy, which will produce 20 molecules of kinetic energy. l molecule of kinetic energy required for each lesson. R. M.

Eleven-Twelve-One o'clock-what matters it? The vaudeville halls re-echo with their shoutings, and the revels mount higher and higher at Bell's, as they quaff the nectar of an oyster stew, and drink her down, down, downf, Like the gods of old, they know all things, and know them, not by digging and grinding with anguished brows and fevered eyes, but know them as their birthright, as a part of their infinite understanding. The old gods studied not, why should the new gods toil? But what god without his mortal maiden? Jupiter had his lo, Apollo his Daphne, Cupid his Psyche, even Pan, goat hoofs and all, had charm for the daughters of men: and herein do our gods prove their kinship with the gods immortal-nay, they are greater. lhe gods of old were forced to pursue with pleadings and gifts and many disguises, but our gods have but to choose as fancy wills, among three hundred fair ones.

She gets her application card, And writes it out with tedious care Then waits! -Oh fate, be not too hard! At last the dreaded day arrives, The lists are posted in the hall, She reads her name, Alas! she sighs, U 'Tis not the grade I want at all. But student teachers must not fret. The critic bids her get to work. A week she spends in writing plans, Nor any detail does she shirk. That Monday finds her at her post, With placid brow, but hopes forlorn. And fear is in her heart, while she Does stiff and stern the halls adorn. In order, then, she learns their names. They took demure and innocent. To discipline will not be hard, I know they're all of good intent. But sweet-faced children sometimes change, And discipline must soon begin. She sends poor Johnnie to the hall, And oh- forgets to call him in. Then comes the day, of days most great, When she in truth must learn her fate. 'Tis strange, but true, this card so small, Does tell the tale, yes tell it all. I85 Ward's Lament I met a lad, a weary lad, With forehead white and high But it was furrowed deep with care And a tear was in his eye. Oh, woe is me! he moaned aloud, My lot is hard to bear. And I was half afraid of him So wild was his despair. So sad he seemed I could not bear To break upon his woe, But seeing me, he clutched my sleeve And would not let me go. He raised a haggard face and held Me with his anguished eye And gazing o'er the Normal Lake Made this most strange reply: There is a club called Culver Not far from this lake's shore, Where they have few of gentlemen true, But rowdies by the score. And I, alas, did dwell there, too, And cast my lot with theirs, But they have covered me with shame And bowed me down with cares. s'There is a maid I know, he said, And know her very well, And of the joy such friendship brings No one could better tell. I called upon her often And talked of friendship true, And from the air drove off dull care As few but I could do.', He bowed his weary head again, And whispered soft and low- The jealousy my comrades felt Made everyone a foe. The worthy Short and Puffer Did urge them to the feat 'Till filled with ire they did conspire And hatched this plot so neat. They got my trunk, these faithless ones And gathered into it The shoes I had discarded Because they did not fit. And into it they also put My clothes of every kind, -- Shirts, collars, cuffs, and hosiery Not one they left behind. 186 MQMMM TI-IE l909 NORTI-IER And as we two were sitting And talking as of yore, They carried it across the street And thru the D'add's house door. The name of him upon that trunk, -H He told me with a sigh- 'sWas Ellsworth W. Givens. The owner, it was I. The clothes they dumped out on the floor! O woe is mef' he cried - And when they said, ' 'Tis moving day' With shame I could have died. And now my dearest hope has fled Beyond my beck and call- This sorrow vast has 'round me cast Its shadow over allf' He bowed his stricken head and clutched His hands unto his hair And pitying I turned away And left him weeping there. The boys indeed had used him ill His heart was sick with pain And as I left, like one bereft He sighed that old refrain- There is a club called Culver Not far from this lake's shore Where they have few of gentlemen true But rowdies, by the score. And I, alas, did dwell there too, And cast my lot with theirs, But they have covered me with shame And bowed me down with cares. i-FT' I y I llli 5419 I87 QQQMQ THE l909 NORTHER 22232 Record in N. I.

SANTIAGABUS BAUTISTERNBRUM. One of our most highly prized specimens. Very rare, being the only one of its kind extant in this vicinity. Was introduced several years ago from the orient and has dis- played most remarkable powers of adaptation to environment. Many excellent plates showing this creature slightly reduced in size are displayed on Main Street of De Kalb. Evnsnis STEVEMAL. Some authorities who have made a careful study of this creature say it resembles the Apis Mellihca, commonly known as the bee, very closely in habits. No accurate description can be given as the thing is in almost perpetual motion. However there seems to be abundant evidence of flexible mouth-parts and an unusual brain development. Avmms COULTARIS. Habitat, - Sycamore, tho often seen in this neighborhood. May readily be iden- tilied by peculiar quick darting movements but may not be easily captured. BILLORUM JOHNSONIPPUS. This specimen has an interesting life history and has passed thru a very marked metamorphosis. Early in its development it was a bright green in color and was then classed as a member of the lower order Freshmenoptera. However it changed gradually in color to a reddish hue which becomes intensified when creature is excited. . ARTHURITUS SOMMERFELTORUM. A creature most peculiar in its behavior but perfectly harmless. Upon encountering any other creature it gives a sudden backward movement of the posterior exopodite of one of the lower appendages, accompanied by a graceful forward movement of the an- terior dorsal portion of the body. The specimen seems to have a very keen sense of equilibrium, for this peculiar locomotory process has no tendency to destroy its balance altho it may produce slight changes in the immediate environment. Note:-More recent investigations show that this specimen has made a permanent mi- gration to anotherlpart of the country. CLARKELOPTEMUS BROTHERSARCHIA. A peculiar specimen which has so far baffled all attempts at exact classification. 'lhe fact that it has a very decided crow and is inclined to show a pugilistic spirit at times leads us to think that it may be related to certain of our domestic fowl and yet it more nearly resembles the peacock in its gait and its desire to display its plumage. As to food this creature seems most averse to Plant life, altho it possesses a great fondness for the coffee bean and the tobacco leaf.
