Une Northrt Ninztrm UR-azntxj -two R. JQHN VV. COOK, the subject of this brief disserta- tion, has had a most unusual record as a teacher and administrator of public education in the State of Illinois. For more than a half century his keen mind and wonderful vision were brought to bear upon the solution of the most far-reaching and most difficult problems of education dur- ing the latter quarter of the nineteenth century and the First quarter of the twentieth. He touched the lives, the hearts, and minds of hundreds of men and women who came direct- ly in contact with his great personality. He saw the light revealed to him as very few have ever been able to see it. He had the unique power of interpreting times and condi- tions, people and situations because of this rare gift. The place which he made during this long period of service is so unique as to leave him almost without competition among the great souls whose lives have been spent in public educa- tion. The institution at DeKalb, whose birth and develop-- ment, Whose direction and growth he stimulated, will always be his debtor. It is, therefore, a great privilege to record this expression showing the depth of appreciation which his friends, associates, and acquaintances feel for him. -I. STANLEY BROWN.

From the red of morning light, To the purpling rays of night, Lines of symmetry and beauty greet the eye. In behind those towers gray, Beauty not alone holds sway, Here is wisdomls realm, here knowledge is the King. Loyal subjects bend the knee, And proclaim their loyalty In the task and frolics which the day doth bring. CHORUS Rah! Rah! Cheer for Alma Mater, Fling her banner to the breeze, Shout her name and sing her praises, Echo answers through the trees, Near and far her children love her, Veritas her motto trueg Hail all hail for Alma lNlater, True we'll ever be to you. On the gridiron, field or track, Hear that Rah! Rah! Rah! come back When the cardinal and black have gone to fame. VVhen they've lost you'll hear it too, For the men are all true blue, And like men they all know how to play the game In the halls the spirit's there, You can feel it in the air, Zeal for work is stronger here than love for play. Let our toast ring clear and true, Alma Mater, Hail to you, lNIay your banner Hoat supreme throughout life's day.'l Dsl ilu Norizwr orth Buarh E161 Nmztcm Twenty -two Norther Board Editor-in-Chief .........

Now, a certain people likened to Solomon in wisdom, sought the land of Golden Opportunity of which princely Perseverance is king. Before the crimson-crowned twilight of the summer day had melted into dusk, these people went their way to the land of College. They gathered in a mighty throng, seeking admittance, like bees, which, about the honey-laden flower, whirring and buzzing, seek their way to the nectar-filled corolla. In such wise did these people enter. the land of College. Then did the honored ruler look upon them with impressive awe and speaking in learned words said: Are you intellectuals of high renown, that seek to tarry here? Now these people answered him saying: Grudge not our entrance here, be not wroth with our presumption. We fain would learn from the grandiloquent instruc- tors of your wisdom-fraught land, the road to the land of Golden Opportunity. So saying, these people were ordered to remain. And happy were they to toil for one long year in dark oblivion. And they were called Ujuniorsf' On the second year, these long-tried people vowed to suffer and work no longer in the deathly darkness of oblivion. Then did their emboldened leader call upon the honored ruler and speaking, said to him: HO, honored ruler of this wisdom-fraught land, my people cry for mercy. No longer will they toil unhonored and un- sung. Hearken to our pleas and pity us. Thus spake the leader and the high heart of the honored ruler assented and answering, he said: UGO to your people and tell them that henceforward they shall be exalted. They will be called 'Seniorsf which means rulers and lords of Juniorsf' Then did the leader bear the glad tidings to his people. And rejoicing began and feasting upon the ambrosia of their grandiose l62l Nrnctem Twenty -two power. But too long did they tarry in the land of Revelry, disport- ing themselves like the saffron-winged butterfly, carousing among the painted joys of the meadow and sleeping within the perfumed walls of flowers. Then after a certain time, bitter did they lament themselves, for they had lost the road that leads to the land of Golden Oppor- tunity. Then did they attempt to return to College land, but Failure reached out her greedy arms, ready to engulf them. But the gran- diloquent instructors of College land helped them mightily and safely did they reach the dutiful shores of their homeland. Then upon a certain day, many Seniors were dispatched with messages of wisdom to the land of Training School. There did they struggle with irrepressive youth, and did they try to transform them- selves into grandiloquent instructors. Then, lo! after many months had flown, much like the swiftly swooping eagle, which soars high and disappears among the fluffy recesses of the clouds, a mighty troupe appeared in College land. Strangers they were, seeking Seniors upon whom they might bestow the High Order of Grandiloquent Instructor. Lengthily and carefully did they interview the Seniors, indeed, all were called and all were chosen. Then upon a certain day, when golden-winged morning ap- peared, the honored ruler called to him these people, and speaking in learned words, said: 'fSeniors, seekers of Golden Opportunity, your journey nears its end. Perilous and sorrowful has it been for some, and toil-worn do those appear. But in work did you repent and in joy you will triumph. And the Seniors hearkened to his learned words with joy, and hope was in every heart. And many weeks after, when golden-winged morn appeared, were the Seniors assembled in a marvelous hall. Then spoke the honored ruler, saying: This day, your journey ends. You are come to the land of Golden Opportunity. And so saying, the honored ruler gave unto every Senior a magic parchment and joy was in every heart. Here endeth the fair tale of the Class of '22, Happy have we been in busy toil, sorrowful in threatening failure, hopeful in the learned words of our honored ruler and his grandiloquent instructors, and loath are we to part.

A. l63l Nnnztrrn Twzntg -two PRESIDENT-WEBSTER JOHNSON VICE PRESIDENT-ADA COWDREY SECRETARY-EMIL WINSTEDT E691 ik: Nottlur At the Turn of the Road With what inhnite patience and wisdom does our Alma Slater, as she sits majestically enthroned upon the castle hill, determine the destiny of this her college world! just as with her high ideals and noble character she serves as a guide-post for us today, so she has done in the past. For twenty-two long years our fair Alma lNIater 'watched her N. I. S. N. S. caravan go down the straight and narrow road called Prog- ress. At length she perceived far ahead a broader road leading off to the right. 'fWhich way shall I send my caravan?', thought she. If it continues down the road on which it has started, it will still carry gay 'Normalites' to the doors of our elementary institutions of learn- ing. But if I have it turn to the right, the pilgrims may take a longer journey which will carry them to the doors of higher institutions- perhaps to a 'Castle On the I-lillf On such a journey I could direct these pilgrims to a higher knowledge and culture. In july, 1921, therefore, the caravan, with its new name North- ern Illinois State Teachers Collegefl turned and started up the broad- er road. At the very turning it found one passenger, llelvin Thomp- son, by name, who was soon ready to alight with his degree, which gave him the opportunity of serving as principal of the New Zurich H. S. the following school year. Earlier in the summer an Ohio pilgrim had entered for only a few months' ride. So great an opportunity did this gray caravan offer that she, too, decided to finish her journey. With the opening of the fall term others came. As our Alma hlater watched the many pilgrims entering the caravan, she recog- nized Webster johnson, one of her Iozo travelers. Then there came Emil VVinstedt, our Swedish minister, lNlrs. Pearl jackson, a former friend and critic, the caravan's hlanual Training Director, and Sydney Rasmusen, who graduated from the Normal School at the end of the winter term. Even though few in number, these made up that first Senior College Classwvhich had set out to finish their four years' journey. We are proud, our Alma Mater. to have been the first College Class to travel in your N. I. S. T. C. caravan where we have ac- quired better standards for ourselves and higher ideals to take out into the world as a gift from you. VVe are glad to have opened up the way for many more pilgrims who will make such achievements as only our farseeing Alma hlater can foretell. ' ADA COWDREY.

High School In September of nineteen-twenty the Teachers College estab- lished a High School department. At first this consisted of only one class, numbering about twenty students. As the teachers of the Nor- mal department taught all of the subjects, and since the students took at keen interest in their studies, the quality of the Work done was very good. During the year the girls and boys organized basket ball teams. The latter played several games with neighboring schools. This year the tvvo classes of the H. S., with hir. YVhittaker as sponsor, elected the following officers. President, BI. Gurlerg Vice President, lXl. Kennedy, Secretary, E. Luhtalag Treasurer, H. Died- rich. So far thisyear one party has been held. The games, danc- ing, and refreshments had good effects on the students and more social affairs may be expected. Although little is now heard of the T. C. High School, it is evident that the department is continually develop- ing into a better organization. Two years from now we shall have four well-organized classes. Then we hope it will be possible to have several H.S. organizations, a Literary, and Dramatic Club, and take active part in other lines of High School activities. In fact, Teachers College will be proud to say, That is our High School departmentfl LILLIAN SHANAHAN. l72l fp EYE!!! gr mag str nl others of Guiliis amid cunning Crafts with alla manner of rrvels unhea- Jllmstrrl 1 Q, , g 4. ., x - v A . v i 1 ., . 1 v 7.

There is something magnetic about the simple words-band concert, but when with these are joined two other words-University of Illinois, the magnetic force is doubled. We felt this drawing power February twenty-seventh when the University of Illinois Con- cert Band gave a matinee concert in our auditorium. Shall I attempt to define this magnetism or account for the whole student body and great numbers of town people attending this concert? We might attribute a great deal of it to the fact that the Cniversity of Illinois band has been pronounced, by Sousa, the greatest of Uni- versity bandsg but ask the girls if that is the only reason they had for attending the concert. Smart uniforms are irresistible. Everyone who did have the good fortune to hear the program was impressed With its extensive range. With the first overture, by Wagner, our attention was caught to be held throughout to the finale of Illinois songs and The Star Spangled Banner. The selec-- tions Were vivid and picturesque, ranging from the comic to the pathetic and from vivacious, spirited revelry to irrisistible drollery. The musicians, directed by Albert Austin I-Iarding, responded to every theme of the music, giving us a happy combination of melody and rhythm. The Interluden-'KA Bit of College Life, comprising a few Hstuntsw by versatile members of the band, to show, in the words of an eminent critic, that life on the campus is not all work -was the 'fpeppyn part of the concert. A jazz orchestra, a double quartette, a pianologue, and a dramatization of a very thrilling love story were the striking features of the interlude. We enjoyed every minute of the two hours of entertainment given us this year, so our wish is that N. I. S. T. C. may again be a stopping place for the Cniversity of Illinois Concert Band on its succeeding annual tours. IXIARIE IXIERRILL. l31l Une .Nottlut The School Orchestra Hark!

In spite of the difliculty of finding a time to meet they have practiced two times each week with gratifying results. The or- chestra consists of approximately eight violins, three saxophones, two clarinets, two cornets, trom- bone, drums, and piano. The mu- sicians displayed their skill by ren- dering difiicult selections at differ- ent times in general exercises. They displayed their skill by ren- dering jazz numbers at several bas- ketball games.

The lXlello-D Klub is one of the boys' organizations of the school, one Whose fame may not be quite so great and pretentious as the fame of our athletic teams, but nevertheless, an organization that contributes as much to the spirit of the school as any other. This Klub, meeting every Tuesday and Thursday, harbors all our young men, musically inclined, who desire to seek solace and consolation in the opening of their hearts in song. And who can deny that they are a happy flock? Their sweet and melodious voices, exquisitely tender and harmonious, may be heard, not only during their hour of execution of their duties, but all the way down thc stairs, past the library and recitation rooms, after dismissal. Did you see the Minstrel they promoted? Pretty good, wasn't it? The versatility shown by some of our young men was undreamed ofg and others showed clearly and beyond dispute, that they chose the wrong vocation when they entered a Teacher's College. The ebullition of fun and mirth caused by some of the artists was worth the price of admission alone.

' STELLA ACKEIXIANN. The Book Exchange If we had a book to sell, we could exchange it at the Y. W. Exchange. For instance, we could change a lNlanly 65 Rickertw for a Psychology by Read. Any book which we were not anxious to associate with further, could be exchanged for something more tantal- izing to the senses. VVe could exchange a green book for a red one, a blue for a yellow, or even a white for a black. But the ex in exchange really meant the commission which the Y. VV. C. A. re- ceived for operating costs. , We think the book exchange a real help in time of need. The real value of the Exchange was the readiness with which it could exchange the old for the new, the weary for the fresh, the 'worn for the new. The book exchange adds something to the College life, because it Hlls the gap between terms, and may even fill the gap, in the case of the person who is looking for money from home, between poverty and prosperity. l H.

J EANNETTE HUSTED. l3Ql il-e Northrr Q0 .Ninetrm Twzntg -two The Northern Illinois U 'The Northern Illinois' is ready for distribution at the close of General Exercises! How often have we heard that announcement, and how often have we stampeded, trying to get our copies! And then the comments that are heard! HSay, this is sure good! I Wonder who put that in? I don't think that's much ! When each copy has been leafed hurriedly through, it is interesting to note the expressions on the faces in the corridors. Some are smiling and joy- ful, others dignihed, vainly trying to keep down an expression of ela- tion. Still others are deeply, and darkly, glum. And there is an explanation for all these expressions. It is the ambition of every one of us, whether we will admit it or not, to have our names in the paper. And so, when the Northern Illinois comes out, that is the first thing we look for, and if we see it in bold, black type, no matter if it be a slam, we are happy and we smile. If, however, we look all through the magazine and cannot find even a mention of ourselves, we are glum and we straightway declare the paper to be bum. Some of us have 'fhigh literary ambitions and if, by chance, we behold, upon the page before us, some child of our imagination, we are so far above ordinary people that we carry ourselves with dignity enough for a ruler of the world. Nevertheless, whatever we feel when we first scan through our Northern Illinois, whether it be joy, gloom, or superiority, when we get to our rooms in the evening we read every word from the front to the back and then lay it carefully away with our VVashington Party programs and our 'fmemory books. And who knows, some day, when we are old and battle-scarred, we may be showing it to our grandchildren and saying, Why, that's nothing, I remember way back when---- RALPH WHITTAKER.

EDITH JEANBLANC, PRESIDENT. l93l Ute Notthrr Ever and ever so long ago -and, with the words, time slips away, leaving us, for a moment, at least, in the presences of the past: memories, we call them so, which seem a press and throng of human beings, each one, as old and as young as the past itself, awaiting the reclamation of its treasured moment with eager eyes and a great silence. Sometimes, in a long half-hour, we try to sort out these memory- folk, whose faces are so strangely alike. f'Oh, yes! we say, here are memories of birthdays, here are first parties, here are blithe Junes, and sorry Septembers. And here are all our vacations! Here they all are, indeed,'l we exclaim. And so they are-summer vacations, in which we spent most of our time fishing for diffident bull-heads in the old VVil1ow Pond, spring vacations, the only known panacea for a certain persistent springtime malady, Thanksgiving vacations, in which we are unceasingly thankful that the great day falls on Thursday, and then the brightest group of all. At first, like hlacbeth, we gaze and say--Hthe woods of Dunsinaneu, only for a moment, however, for we hear, 'T-the green is His everlasting love for the children of men, and the glow of the candles, His untading Light in a dark world. VVith the memory-sound of the voice a home group grows vivid--children listening again to the blessed story of His birth upon the earth. And we know, now, that we gaze upon-Christmas Trees. We seek out the tallest of them all. It is much, very much higher than our hands can reach even though we stand tiptoe, it blazes with candles, it glistens in its trails of tinsel. It is the tree shut up, so long ago, in Grandmothefs cold parlor. VVe were for- bidden to enter that room, though lXlother and Grandmother went in as often as they wished. Very often, did it seem to us, for we feared that in some way they might be changed when they came out. But there is another which, too, stands high and straight. It stands at the door of a building where children go in to school. In the mornings, and at noons, it is played around by happy youngsters, and in the evenings it is encircled by carollers singing, in its light, the noels of the approaching season. In fact, it seems but yesterday that Pwlr. Balthis set up this tall evergreen in front of the Training School, and the boys strung it with lights, and decorated it with ornaments. lt presaged the joyous days to come beside the home lireside, it gleamed out in our memory of N.

SCH ULZ fQ5l C le, Wh: North!! Bring a Can, Get a Can, or Get Canned Do you remember those mysterious symbols-those hearts and question marks that confronted us on the boards in every class-room two weeks before Christmas? Remember this slogan that we saw sometime later-HBring a can, get a can or get canned? Have you got a can? Did you bring a can of something? Where's your can? VVhat kind of stuff did you bring? I brought a can of pine- apple?'l Uh, gosh, I forgot mine-I guess I can buy one upstairs. Can't I?'l Such were the remarks that issued from every throat as that Wednesday before Christmas at last arrived, and students began looking around to see if the others were carrying cans too. What does it all mean, anyway? a stranger in our midst asked me While he listened to the din and hub-bub as the students thronged into the auditorium just before General Assembly began. It means that the students of the N. I. S. T. C. have found the Christmas spirit. Can't you see them smile as they tramp up the stairs? See how happy they look! That's what old lChristmas Spirit' does to those who find him. just watch them as they bustle up the aisles and deposit their burdens on the already sagging tables. VVhatls that each one is re- ceiving as he deposits his can on the table? Why, that's a tag which says, 'I am a good felloW'. It means that each one who receives such a tag has donated a can of food to be given to the needy people of DeKalb. Every student is getting a tag, and look at the faculty -they are wearing tags, too. , There must be nearly four hundred cans on those tables or at least there will be when everyone has deposited his contribution, That certainly ought to bring Christmas cheer into a good many DeKalb homes? Those secret symbols, a heart and a question mark, interpreted, asked us a question: l'Have you a heart? VVe answered not in symbols, but in action, and our answer was-YES!

They were tested very severely, first in the form of a dramatic reading, secondly, by a test far more severe than the ancient ones, that of abandoning their dignity and illustrating how they learned to skate, how to ride a calf and how to serenade. The next morning the candidates were encamped around the Bulletin Board and saw the results of the test. Kennedy of the Clever VValk, Skinner of llluch Dignity, and Livingston the Popular were the girls, who with Curtiss the Enthusiast, Peterson of Northern Illinois Fame, and Haynes the Talkative, cast their lot with Lund- berg the Happy, Cooper the Quiet, Coudrey of Sycamore, Coffey the Athlete, Ackemann of Much Note, Parson the Pretty, Bradt of Town Fame, and Snow of the Broad Grin, the surviving members. With the troupe complete they rejoiced with Lyon the Dramatic and patiently awaited his will in the Ubig room of the ancient drama. It was not long until he commanded them to better the Castle on the Hill by bringing a little gayety to it and in doing so were to HStop Thief. Parson the Pretty took the role of an old man handi- capped by a dead wife who was Skinner the Dignified. Ackemann of Much Note was a blushing bride. Blushing perhaps, because she was to marry a kleptomaniac, Bradt of Town Fame. Livingston the Popular as ,loan Carr, with Peterson of Northern Illinois Fame, as Dr. VVilloughby, caught the idea and they, with Snow of the Broad Grin, as a master thief and his skirt, Kennedy of the Clever Walk, were married.

VVhat a jolly lot of fun it has been to simply present our books and be admitted to activities at T. C. Many happy mem- ories will remain with us of these red letter days at T. C. Oct. 7, ,2I.-0116 of the Hrst of our student activities entertainers was Ruth Mary Weeks who came to us with a pleasing lecture on 'lSocializing the Teacher. The unsocialized teacher is a crea- ture to be pitied indeed. Oct. 14, 721.-WhO came to see us October fourteenth? If I were to say, Many, Many lNIoons, everyone would remember imme- diately-Lew Sarett. As one with keen understanding of men and wonderful power of imitation, he introduced us to the Indi- an and French Canadian. As a lover and poet of the out-of- doors, he gave us a large and most vivid glimpse of nature, and as a man of the big timber he brought us close to all of the wild life hidden there. VVe Went away with the hoot of the owls, the chugging of the frogs, the cry of the wild cat, and the snorting of the moose all ringing in our ears, but clear and compelling above all of this din came the song of the white-throated spar- rowz HAII-day-long-f1ddlin', 1C1ddlin', hddlin'. Oct. 21, '2I.-Hundreds of us stood in T. C.'s auditorium when lXIadame Schumann I-Ieink came upon the stage. A warm smile thanked us for our hearty applause. The sweet, rich tones of her voice reached the farthest corners where some of us were sitting. The boy on the stage whose head she patted seemed unaware of the honor, but to us it brought her love of children. hladame Schumann I-leink thought it a great joke when the boy stepped on her train and completely won us by her charming laughter. Nov. 8, ,2I.-IIOXV we laughed that afternoon and evening as the Coffer Miller Players played UThe Rivals and An Imaginary Invalid for us! In the afternoon from the time lNIrs. Blala- prop appeared until she bade us Mau reservoir, the auditorium rang With fun. We just had to come again in the evening to see lXtIrs. hlalaprop as Toinette, and Bob Acres as Argon, in the Imaginary Invalid. VVhat a minx Toinette was and how she did provoke Argon! We went away feeling that we had had a wonderfully good time. fiool Dec. Jan. Jan. Feb. Nandan Twenty -two 5, 721.-Kilim glad to see you, childrenf, was the way we were greeted by Professor S. H. Clark of the University of Chicago. Have you noticed less strife since he left? The fun comes in when you end up in the same place you began. 16, 322.-YCS, we all came back to school that Monday evening to hear Skovgaard, the great Danish violinist, and his charm- ing vvife, Alice lXlcClung Skovgaard, who accompanied him at the piano. Denmarkls greatest violinist was fine, we agree. Another violinist entertained us one morning in General EX. Students, do you remember her? Miss Dvorak, yes. We are glad our faculty invited her to come to the College for we en- joyed every moment while she played. The echoes of violin music are still hovering around the old gray towers. 23, '22.-Have you seen the Ghosts that lie in wait for us since Madame Borgny Hammer and her company of Norwegian play- ers Were here? Her deep, rich voice and splendid acting will npt be forgotten, although the play did not end 'fhappy ever a ter. 15, 722.-ThC Hfteenth of February, In the evening of that day, lX4iss Semple told us of Japan In her friendly sort o' way.

Rah! Cornell! VVe felt like sending some such telegram to Cornell College after their afternoon concert. We were led from the high, sweet tone of the violins to the deep, rich tones of the cello. Once in a while the soft, full chords of the harp blended into the selections. The numbers on the harp, alone, were beautiful. Apr. 24, 322.-VVS have heard Werrenrath, the great baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Company. A wonderful opportunity- yes, it was, and possible because of the Students' Activities Or- ganization. Those of us who have Victrolas will certainly Want a record of Reinald VVerrenrath's. OTHER ADVANTAGES OF THE LITTLE TICKET BOOK I am eight by eleven and not very thick. Sometimes I am one color, then another. I am made up of eleven sections, no one of which could get along without the other ten. The time and patience of many people are needed to keep me in good running order. I am known on the street as well as in the school. I visit each student and others who want me, every month. I am good to look at and better to read. I am the '4Northern Illinois' On April eighteenth the Dramatic Club presented Stop, Thieflw a three-act farce by Carlyle lXIoore. The play is a story of the adventures of a thief who gets into a house in which there are two kleptomaniacs. The complications and entanglements which arise from the thief posing as a detective, are highly amusing. The thief, when in a tight place, can f'plant his plunder on the two klep- tomaniacs because of his dual personality. A succession of such situ- ations made the play one big laugh from beginning to end. RUTH KILMER, RUTH KING. frozj Nmckrrn 'ifwcntg -two Shakespeare Playhouse Players Several motives prompted my looking with great eagerness to the coming of the Shakespeare Playhouse Players. For some seasons I had served Coach VVirtz as revenue collector when we had our sum- mer school performances of classic plays. Standing at the back of the audience I always had a double pleasure: seeing the play and watching Mr. Gilbert laugh. VVell, taking Mr. Wirtz's place as manager in no way interfered with the same sources of amusement- Elsie Hearndon, who had delighted our audiences with her beautiful reading of lines and set Mr. Gfs shoulders dancing when she attempted to put Sir Andrew Ha foul way out, -was not bliss Hearndon to be here again? To have seen this play before-once, twice, even three times- only intensifies the anticipation. How will the interpretation com- pare with that heard on former occasions? What surprises will this company bring us? Even if the presentation could be the same, the audience is different. The audience, hm! VVill lNIiss New-comer get that point and lNIiss First-timer get this one? Oh, look at Mr. S., he really seems to be with the three behind the box-tree watching the trout caught with tickling .... And that Mr. B! What did he pay his money for? He hasn't laughed yet! I wonder if it's mod- esty? Or poverty-of brains, I mean. If it wasn't haughty, I'd thank my stars I am not as other menfat least, I wouldn't want to pay my money for being tickled and then not know when it happened. The audience is new and to go to the play of our summer school is a real experience. C. L. L. I103l Wh: North!!

EXCERPT FROM THE DIARY OF ONE OBADIAH QUIRK, BBOUGHT TO LIGHT BY RECENT RESEARCH I myself think highly of the birthday of the great Vllashington, not so much on account of the remarkable Cherry tree episode and his excellent record for truth, or the dignity and presence of his character, or even because he was the f'Father of His Country, al- though for these I accord him all due respect and honor and would think little of anyone who did not. I enjoy VVashington's birthday because he affords such an opportunity for dames and maids to rume- mage about in the attic, through old trunks and dusty corners and unearth Wearing apparel and various accessory articles of adornment used only upon such by-gone occasions. I like to revel in the way my grand dame looked and observe the antique contour of the lines, not that our fashions of today are any less individual than these. I have always believed that maids of my day could cause quite as much stir by entering a social group composed of my grandmothers friends, as she could hope to accomplish by entering a twentieth century gath- ering in her style of apparel. I have never verified this fact. I have taken it for granted. I enjoy the occasion too because of the rank and position which the Costume lends the wearer. No other can rise to the dignity and honor of the position of 'tFirst President of the United States, but we can, quoting from the ancient philosophers, walk in his boots. I like the idea of the old-fashioned dances, the lXIinuet, Virginia Reel, and other square dances that lend color to any group that hath charms. The visages of my erstwhile compan- ions delight me--the demure little lady with the pink fan. The couple who a few hours before toddled gaily to l'l'he Sheik, now sedately step the 'lRye Waltz. Ladies with powdered hair and gentlemen bewigged and beruliled, all promenade gracefully about. One dashing hero gaily dances the buckle off his shoe. At which time I enjoy the humor of the situation as well as the dignity ot the recovery. lXlethinks I have never seen a more pleasing sight than the Grand lXlarch led by the distinguished faculty. All this makes me, I confess, admire the great General Washington, and, that the grandeur of his birthday be not lost, adhere to the pleasant custom of the VVashington Party.

TIOQT 1heNotthrt We, The School Marms When one has had all those experiences with Billy, Tommy and Nelly-there's no doubt of that he becomes a more experienced per- son. But, though Tommy does get into the most agonizing scrapes, he's an adorable youngster. And Stanley, even though he invariably spells Htheirn with an Nic, still his grave efforts to work busily dur- ing study hours make him an appealing bit of rascality. As for hlamie-a pert Hstewed prune-prism little lady, what would one do without her? VVhen 'fteacheid' has asked 'fthe question of the class, and everyone is hopelessly befuddled, straightway comes this solemn little personage and begins her little ovation that sets the minds of the rest of the youngsters at rest. There are the days when one goes home feeling that worth while work has been done. There are the youngsters Cbless 'emj, always radiating that gladsome spirit of childhood, and making us, too, seek out the sunshine. And so, as we start out for our day's work these balmy, spring mornings aware of the new life beginning to manifest itself once more in its myriad forms, is it strange that we should feel a new vigor and a secret happiness within our innermost selves? S. E. ZITEK. 'llXIareo Galiena and hlarco Scartozzi may sweep the floor. lNlary Giantomasso and hlary Nato may dust the crasers and the rest of you may go home. Thus having the impending riot par- tially under control I will tell you something of Chicago Heights. Our hrst year hasn't been quite as we expected it to be. Each one of us has sufficient material for a Hhlyra Kelly's book. Names are nothing to us now. VVe can pronounce anything, be it Pappaji- kos, Naschetti, Damianai or Papathanasiow. If Aldino Napolonii comes to school drunk we can tactfully get rid of him. If VValen- tine .luscycyk eats garlic for breakfast every day and brings the odor to school we suggest a change ofclothing, or a bath, and dispense with him until lunch time-when he probably has garlic again and ap- pears in the same clothes, minus a bath. It hasnlt been all work though. VVe have had a pay check every month and weekly trips to the city. Then there are the chil- dren. There are anywhere from thirty to hfty negroes, Italians, Polacks, Lithuanians, Jews and Mexicans all ready to love you. CLAIRE M. Lrox, '21. fi 101 Nnnrtem Twenty -two What a New Alumnus Thinks About Nearly five dollars for a round trip ticket? VVell, I'm glad I saved that out of my month's salary. Don't see the girls in the waiting room. Then we won't Wait any longer for it!s time to dash for the train if we expect to make it. O, there! I see the rest of the crowd. Saved seats for us too, bless their hearts. Seems good to see the girls together again. Baggage doesn't take up as much room as our suitcases used to. Gossip, gossip! The girls seem to have dropped the role of teachers for this occasion. just a few more lusty voices added to our increasing enthusiasm and we'd be singing school songs. Wonder if there are more of our clan abroad. The girls must be right. The woman across the aisle is bringing the baby to show the undergraduates a realistic example of psychological processes. All of the passengers are classified now, I think. VVhat ho! One lady We missed-back seateheading down the aisle with one eye on us. Good heavens! Heard us from the back of the car and thought we were going to DeKalb. That's why everyone has been looking at us. I thought it was our new clothes. Oh, she's an old time Alum- nus and wants us to show her around. Glad to. Married? Didn't bring her husband. Well, that's one on us. One thing we forgot to buy with our first money. Delia-a-lb! Well remembered aren't we? A member of the faculty and his car to meet us.-Bell's Restaurant for a T-bone steak. Brings back memory of the last one we enjoyed here. Recollection is so vivid I think steak might be of the same cut--Old Time Alum- nus sits across the table from us. My steak is getting cold. Waiter. keep your distance. Your face may take on a familiar look. lNIy money is dwindling. Good old Lincoln Highway. What's that? O. T. A. standing still, gazing at the opposite of the street.

Losing our self conceit. Faculty glad to see us, but have divided their attention since last June. Girls look downcast.

Nothing but the truth-you say it sounds easy? Perhaps We, too, thought so when the curtain rose, but I am sure not one of us would care to go through the suf- fering and agony that Elvin Byers found necessary in order to tell the truth. Helen Larson's singing and her impossible hats helped to make his life miserable. How unbearable to have Gilbert Booth at one's elbow cautioning one to tell the truth! We all hope Ken- neth Faxon realized that his calling is the ministry. Who would have thought that a pious bishop could go tearing madly about de- manding his money? How Clair Lyon serenely played through it all unconscious of the predicament in which she placed the truthful Byers in the effort to double her money for the orphan asylum. The funniest part of the play Was that in which Dorothy Hagadone and Wilnia Jordan, those good, studious girls, took the part of the vamps. Could they vamp? They did everything but smoke, and it would not have surprised us a bit if they had done that. The earrings, gum, short skirts, rouge, big hats, and the rest were a revelation. Altogether it was an evening of the merriest comedy. GRACE BO.-XRDMAN. I I ml , 9 4 ,Nnmtrm Twrntg -two -Ms' f ' . .4 3,,' -' ,.. ' J A . nf .4 4 W2 1 1 .

So when Word was received that the Seaching Party was drawing nigh, the City Fathers turned all the water from the large City Well into the quiet Kishwaukee so that when the Lords arrived they beheld a rag- ing torrent. Now, when they saw this they were filled with joy and they said, f'Let us seek no further. And they straightway caused a huge and strong Castle to be built, which the citizens of DeKalb swore to protect with their lives. So well did the Knights, who were trained in this Castle, acquit themselves that Ignorance withdrew from the field. He did not give up his nefarious vvork, however, and to this day he plies his trade, with much stealth, through the country, and such is the fear of the people for this monster that even yet knights are trained in the Castle to keep this Monster subdued. .

At five minutes after eight Oberg and Snow cautiously sneak in rubbing their eyes. The glue pot boils dry and HRed'l and Camper, who have the nearest bench to it, seem to think the odor rather nauseating. Every bench is filled and every one is busy, but through it all 'LSid whistles. All right, Sid. Save that and cultivate it, suggests Mr. Har- rison, commonly known as 'lLefty. His attention is immediately drawn to 'lPinkey Best, who is trying to sing ul Ainlt Nobody's Darling. HAH right, Pinkey, we can get along without that. So it goes until Red and Camper get into an argument about last Saturdayls football game. They in turn are silenced by Mr. Har- rison.

In the early autumn, dark green leaves of somber hue hide the gray walls of the castle. The leaves glisten in the sunlight, they ripple in the breeze. Birds dart out from nests behind protective foliage. Then, some morning, there is a patch of red, soon, other patches of bright colors appear. They grow until the whole building is one mass of flaming reds. The colors fade and the leaves fall. The bare dark branches cling to the stone and show the gray walls through their network. All through the winter their presence gives promise of the beauty hoarded for the spring. Spring comes. The grass grows greener and greener. The brown buds on the trees burst, and the tiny green leaves appear. VVe watch eagerly for the ivy leaves, and, at last, we find a few pale leaves. Each day we find more of the tiny leaves. They grow larger and darker. Delicate tendrils of paler green reach higher and higher toward the towers. Once more the ivy covers the gray walls of our castle with the glinting green leaves.

QRAL HAGGERTY. 51331 ilu .Northrr The High Assembly Thrice each week, the good king of the Castle on the Hill was wont to have all of his subjects assemble in his court room in order that he might make known unto them his will that they might do it, and so that he might hear of their grievances and of their desires. Now the castle was provided with a great bell which was used to summon the people on the certain daysg and when the appointed hour of the clock was come and the great bell was rung, from every corner of the place the worthy subjects hastened. And whether they had been at their sewing or weaving or spinning in one of the highest turrets of the castle, or whether they had been busy with their music in some other high turret, or whether they were at cook- ing or at printing or at reading, whether they were here or there doing this or that, they left whatever they had busied themselves with and hurried to the big room where they seated themselves and waited to hear what was to be said. Around the king there sat a number of knights and ladies who were his worthy friends and advisors and before he spoke to the as- sembly of all, he very often chose to counsel with some of those about him. True it was that in most things the king of the Castle on the Hill was considerate and gracious, but there were some things which dis- pleased him very much, and, although he never became wholly wroth, yet he would sometimes make decrees much to the discom- fort and displeasure of some of his subjects. One of the things which very early came to his notice was the fact that some few of his people, when they heard the bell which called them to the court room, would disregard it and so would not be present at his meetings. And deem- ing them important enough for everyone to attend, and fearing that the persons who needed to come most were the ones who remained away, he set himself to thinking how the condition could be remedied. In due season he decided upon a plan whereby he could tell whether or not everyone attended. First, he had drawn up a list of the names of all of his subjects, and everyone-from the oldest to the youngest, from the fattest to the leanest, from the dullest to the wisest-had his name put upon the great sheet. Then did the king choose one of his noblest knights--Lyon by name-to make and keep a chart upon which were placed the names of all of the subjects, and then were the subjects given their seats in the assembly according to the chart. There was a punishment fixed to be dealt out to all who dared thereafter disregard the call of the bell. And so it was that unless a man could offer a nice excuse, he did not stay away. f13+l Nxnctrrn TL-:entg -two Therefore, on hlonday, on VVednesday, and on Friday of each week, the knights and ladies would all come trooping into the great room-some of the ladies in bright, gay gowns, others in dull ones, some with high coiffures, some with their hair cut off to agree with the fashion of the day, some of the knights swarthy, some fair-- but in they all came, eager to hear what was going to be said and to be off again and about their tasks. Every day there was something to do and often the subjects wondered how the king and his advisors could manage to provide enough to hll the hours. But they always did. One time would the king read or tell long lists of things that were displeasing in his sight and that would bring punishment to all those who indulged therein even to the degree that they might be sent out of the castle entirely, on another day, perhaps after the castle's athletes had been victorious in the games, would the king ask them to pass in review before the whole multitude and then Would great shouting and loud singing fill the room 'till the walls fairly shook. At one time a stranger to the court, who had come, perchance from some distant city and happened along the highway at the time, would come and speak before the people, or maybe he might play for them on some instrument, or entertain or instruct them in some other way, or at another time, might some of the king's own advisors tell the subjects of this or of that which went on in the world at the time. Occasionally the whole time was made the people's own and they spent it as they chose, some having goods to sell, some having requests to make. There were certain of them who had a deal more to say than others, but the weaker ones were content to sit by and listen. One day the time was spent learning and singing songs which the court poet-one Annas--had written, the next day the court jester would, with much waving of arms and head, attempt to teach the multitude something new to shout at the games. On still another day would one of the king's advisors or one of the subjects be chosen to announce a ball or a play to which all the occupants of the castle were invited. Then were they all overjoyed and would give vent to their happiness by the wildest and most en- thusiastic of hand clapping. And so it went on from day to day-always the bell, always the hastening of the people, always something to see or hear or do, and then always the raising of the good king's hands Qwhich was a sign that the meeting was at an endj and always the rushing of the sub- jects back to their tasks or their dinners as the case might be. And so it may continue through the years farther into the future than we can see. EUNICE A.

Now In the Library Now someone bangs the library door. Before the doors are opened in the morning people invariably try to enter through the right hand side of the library. It is almost eight o'clock, and the person with a reserve book rushes in and drops the book on the desk and retreats down the steps with a hop, skip and a jump. Silence now, golden silence. Now the doors are opened, eliminating one source of disturbance. A few students who do not have eight o'clocks straggle to the table strewn with newspapers. Now they read the headlines and UAndy Gump and f'Bringing lfp Father. Now a boy, late to his eight olclock, strides through the library to a room in the east corridor. Now the daily routine has started. Now a member of the faculty is reading a magazine, seated in the chair between the maga- zine rack and the window. Her feet scarcely touch the floor. The history professor hurries to his table of reserve books, selects one and goes back to his room. Now the tall, pallid youth seats himself opposite one of the popular senior girls, much to the amusement of her friends. Now the familiar step of the art teacher does not disturb the students, it is so well known. The instructor of compo- sition dips his pen into the red ink and decorates the efforts of some poor junior. Now the high school boy, who just recently graduated into long trousers, looks up from his book to watch the senior girls. Now a bobbed haired junior re-reads a letter from Illinois, then gazes out of the window. Now a girl, wearing a borrowed sweater, decides that she needs a reserve book, which is really an excuse to attract attention, especially that of one certain person. Now the dapper son of the mathematics teacher goes to the small desk near the Hreplace and looks over the exchange papers. Now the girl of one of the steady couples of the school goes to the stack room, fol- lowed closely by her shadow. Now a bunch of girls carry on an excited conversation, keeping one eye on the librarian so they can pretend to study when she looks at them. Now an alumnus rushes to the library desk and greets the librarian profusely. The girls do not worry about their risk until the graduate leaves the library. Now through the east door the history teacher laboriously wheels a squeaky cart, similar to a tea cart, containing reference books. Such a com- bination of squeaky, screaky, scraping noises. Now one who is for- bidden the privilege of sitting in the library peers throughithe door to beckon to her chum. Now a bell rings and twenty to thirty students saunter down the midway laughing and talking. So the day passes with its lapses of quiet between the noise. l138l RUTH O'CoNNoR.

The vertex of the body becomes an equilateral triangle with arms extended in the opposite directions and the legs per- pendicular to the feet at the base, never coinciding unless making way to a similar body of the same dimensions. A word to the library friends: Never take a book when the librarian is in sight. Always return it two hours before she starts to look for it.

They consumed much ice cream and kept everyone in the place in high spirits by reason of their merri- ment. These students would drop many nickels in a large box which would then break forth in sweet melody. Thereat they would all jump from their seats and ,go through the series of movements which I have observed to be much in vogue with the young people of this country.

Not able to under- stand, he shook his ears. hlaybee-but, someone was coming! Any- way he went down the long highway that encircles the Children's World. Hearing a snip! snip! snipl, he noticed some tiny folk using such sharp, shiny things that he lay low. Listen! Music was coming from the other end of the highway.

Remember the time when you first reported to your critic, three days late, and, when you made numerous excuses for your tardiness, how she looked straight at you and you hastily resolved never againw? Perhaps this little prelude somewhat stimulated you in your work, but any way the clouds soon cleared away and very soon, there existed between you and your critic, a friendship you will al- ways cherish. It was she who understood and helped you meet your problems, it was she who encouraged you on your blue days, and it was she who rejoiced with you in your happiness. Then there were the thirty or forty children you were teach- ing. With a smile they ran to meet you, opened the door for you, brought you Howers, candy, and fruit, and were ever ready to run errands for you. How happy they were and how you enjoyed them! Surely teaching school was not all drudgery, but a joyous privilege. You were just getting adjusted to your new environment when the principal called on you. It was during reading class and of course Johnny missed a simple word, and Mary would not keep the place. You wanted to push the clock along and you hoped your visitor would make his call rather brief, but he remained until the class was over. You could just feel that his eyes were on you and your face burned-yes, even your ears burned. At last three-thirty -came. Reading class was over, but another shock was to be yours that day. We always return our calls, announced your critic after school. You decided to go at once and have it over. Falteringly you ventured toward the otiice door, only to find that some one else was there-more suspense. Finally your time came and some way or other you managed to get into the ofhce and in a trembling chok- ing voice you told the principal why you were there. Sit down, he pleasantly replied. You soon found your tongue could run on as fast as ever, and when you got out of his office you wished you had not said quite so much. After you went for your first criticism, you often wondered why you were ever afraid to go to the ofiice. Now it is a pleasure to talk with your principal. Oftentimes some of the parents came to visit. How proud you were to show them some of the work the children had done and how glad you were to know that the parents were interested in the school work. You appreciated the co-operation of the parents and they appreciated your work as has since been manifested in many ways. GLADYS C.

VIOLA PETERSON. f1+6l Nmrtrm TL-:zntlj -Iwo Student Teaching, a la Medbury Student teaching is a wonderful thing--efor everybody but the student teacher. Some people seem to think it's a joke, but no one who is teaching can see the point. Others seem to think it's a snap, but the only snap about it is when you snap your fingers at some unruly pupil. You're supposed to know everything from aesthetic dancing to astronomy. If you don't know it you have to act as though you do, anyway. You have to be a second Edison and a walking edition of an en- cyclopedia, if you ever expect to make a success as a Hproff' The questions some pupils ask would make Edison feel like a 'fback number. The other day a pupil wanted to know if Rhode Island was in the Pacific or the Atlantic ocean. Some one else want- ed to know if Irving Berlin was a town in Germany. No wonder some kids never learn anything. They spend all their time thinking up questions to ask. They ought to have a con- test to see who could ask the most questions no one could answer. lNIaybe they'd get them all out of their systems. Trying to make some kids learn anything is like keeping a woman from talking- It can't be done! You always have a critic to point out your mistakes to you. We all make mistakes, but some people don't like to be told about them. Anybody can teach a class of kids, but it takes a genius to make them learn. We labor and sweat over our practice teaching, but just think of Abraham Lincoln. I-le had to split rails before he became presi- dent' HAsW1aLL A. SNYDER.

There is so much to talk about, so much to laugh over, so much to eat that one could not be mistaken in calling Sunday dinner a high feast. But Thanksgiving dinner-that is a much more wonderful feast. Every one wears her very best dress and sits at the table with her very best friends. We choose and decorate our own tables for that night- sometimes with flowers, sometimes with clever place cardsand tall candles. The big lights are turned off and just the little yellow shad- ed lamps and the candles on the tables light the big room. There we eat the Thanksgiving turkey and all that goes with it, the very most delicious things. Between courses we sing ULike a Castle on the Hill, Hjingle Bells, and Seeing Nellie I-Iomef, The Glidden tables always sing some children's songs that they have taught during the week. The last remnants of our Hdressed-up-lots- of-companyl' feelings go with the songs. We cheer the faculty, the office force, even the maids get their share of rah! rahs! After din- ner we gather in the living room for music, a reading or two, a short talk from Dr. Brown, and perhaps one from Dean Gilbert before our guests leave and we go to our studies. Thanksgiving dinner certainly is a high feast. Those feasts are great and never to be forgotten but the very highest feasts, the ones that come the oftenest, last the longest, and are enjoyed the most are the feasts we hold in our rooms. Sometimes we have the most indigestible things to eat that anyone ever thought of, and sometimes we have wonderful things from home. We huddle on the beds with the windows wide open so that the odor of the fudge bubbling away in the chahng dish will not drift out into the hall to the nose of some wandering proctor. The dishes must be hauled out from underneath the bed and thoroughly inspect- ed. Dishwashers are not always eiiicient and each piece must be ready for use for the supply is usually limited and miscellaneous. A girl can not be expected to keep a whole china closet on hand and what is the use anyway?-salad tastes iust as good when eaten off a pie pan with a can opener as it does when eaten from Mothers best china with a silver fork. We do not sing at these feasts, there being certain rules against music at night, nor do we cheer, for some people are always wanting to sleep and the authorities fear we may disturb them. But we certainly talk and eat till we are crammed. Then we creep home stealthily so as not to disturb the sleep, or the studious, and fall into bed, there to suffer indigestion the rest of the night- such are the high feasts at the Hall. BEULAH FIRKINS. llsll ilu Norlzur A Box From Home What happens to your box, with its fudge, or cake, or other good things to eat, from the time it reaches the dormitory, until the time when you open it? A box from home is always a matter of much excitement. Some times, with its treasures, it is a connecting link between you and other of the girls, because, before you discover the precious object, it has gone through various tests. It is turned over, it is lifted, it is rattled. You become a target for gossip, and envy. The scene of the commotion is in the little vestibule that you must pass through on your way to the elevator. There will be a box there for someone, every day, and every day there will be a parcel post list. You read it, carelessly. From experience you have learned that disappointment too often follows if you scan the list of names too eagerly. Therefore you assume an unexcited, dis- interested demeanor, as if you never did expect to get a parcel, any- way. You see your name! It seems to quiver all over, rise up, and there you leave it, not waiting to see whether it settles back into place safely, or not. By this time you are exploring in the hill of pack- ages to' find your own. At last you find it and carry it, hurriedly, but carefully, to your room. Then the fun begins as you and your Inseparable open the box and admire the contents. Although both talking at once, you have not overlooked the smallest detail. Your brother did the wrapping, since that is his particular kind of knot. Your father must have mailed it - the address is in his handwriting. Of course, no one could have packed it except your mother. A box from home is an expression of the love and thoughtfulness of your whole family. ELIZABETH Locxwoop. Rising Bells Hear the startling rising bells- , How the grating clangs and clashes, Cold steel bells! Once again the rending crashes What a day of studying their urgency fore- Through the room, tells! Through the dark and waiting coldness of In the silence of the morn, the room. How they scream at us in scorn, Oh, the steely chill insistence. In a jerky, jagged warning lest we sleep in- The mechanical persistence to the day, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells. bells, In a clamorous demanding that we rise and Bells, bells, bells, bells start the day.

Our Car Line Our car line has its compensations. It is gratifying, on a cold, blustery morning, for a student to step outside his door and be car- ried to his destination. Our car line picks up passengers at every corner and driveway. When that good-natured motorman sees Cath- erine Stowe coming, he always waits until she gets there. It some- times happens that Lyle Lawson is about to board the car, when he remembers that he left a reserve book on the table. Not returning it means certain death, so the conductor saves his life by allowing him to run back home and get it. Truly patience is a virtue. This same UToonerville often waits until Cullie Keefe Hnishes his breakfast, for fear the loss of one meal should prove detrimental to Culliels health. If it is raining, Helen Butler is allowed to run across the street to borrow an umbrella. If certain girls have indulged too lav- ishly in sweets, thereby diminishing their carfare three or four cents, it matters not, the gool-natured conductor takes the twenty-one or twenty-two cents and remarks that it is close enough to twenty-live. Truly the students from Maple Park appreciate their car line. iXlARGL'ERITE O'BRIEN. f15+l x xv , r -- r X Xqm, nthmn thr Lasrlr theta U' 'T itmfllrth right many n... nnlale Xouslrr mlm fighfrlh Full Emerrelg ani math Eraltg muh courage wumeth gffhl' fnmehf IFJ nh liknmsr renj ge here of games nfmnnhs ani pleasant pnshmes if W-wW w -1-aa-X1'axh - X.- - ' ft- 4s+A:fm i1' fp. 452-f 'S 4 f ,i,..- L L- . , .ll Q f. x l , -fa'-53.7,-,:, x x f f 5.4.4 ,, ..

Rah! for ATHLETICS. A. NEIL ANNAS. TI57l iheNor'ther A Point of View When we speak of Athletics in general we commonly think of a particular game or practice which we have witnessed. But, is that all athletics means to N. I. S. T. C? No! Athletics in N. I. S. T. C. means much more than that. It is the center of interest for everyone connected with the college. Although the teams can take care of only a small percentage of the student body for the playing of the games, everyone in school needs to do his part toward making athletics successful. Boosting from the sidelines and boosting from outside of school are everybody's interest. Keep at it-we are going up grade. Now since we have become a college and can offer more oppor- tunities to young men, the athletic department is becoming much more prominent. We are making ourselves known among the stronger colleges of the state with whom we are scheduling many games. Sweaters are being given to the Uletter men for their faith- ful work and the best of equipment is being rounded up. There is every indication that N. I. S. T. C. is becoming one of the strongest minor colleges in the state, in football, basketball and baseball. Our school today, we'll all support And pull for all we're worth, Because the joy of college sport Has found a welcome berth. Let's put our shoulders to the wheel And for athletics strive, We'll get what we want, we know we shall But not without a drive. PETERsoN, '2z. D581 Nmctrzn WL-vrntg -two 0akie The basketball men have a large place reserved in their hearts for their coach, lXIr. Oakland. Oakie is more than a coach, he is the leading spirit of the basketball family. lXIany families have their quarrels, but such is the personality of our director that all of the basketball men are happy and content. We cannot appreciate fully enough this quiet comrade and director. Not many men are gifted with his keen insight and rare humor which bubbled forth on so many occasions to enliven our Work and trips. Altho' burdened with regular school work, he always was with us, giving freely of his time to help us perfect our team play. The season is over now, and as We look back we are glad to recall mem- ories of 'Uakiew our director, coach, and friend at the N.l.S.T.C. STEGMEIR. 66Lefty79 Coach Harrison, or l'Lefty, is the man who hammers the different athletic teams into shape. He is the one who puts the fellows through the grind on the gridiron, tosses the ball for them in basketball, and when spring comes around you see him on Gildden Field developing a baseball team. VVherever you see any of the N. T. S. T. C. athletes you will see HLefty in their midst, telling and dem- onstrating some new play or a means of bet- tering an old one. As a result of his work, N. I. S. T. C. is rapidly gaining prominence in the 'lLittle Nineteen.

Um: Northrr Football Review Un Saturday, October 3o-, our football season opened with Elgin Junior College at Elgin. There were several new men in the line- up who had never played football before. Nevertheless the team played a good game and won, 21 to o. With this victory the fellows went to work with a will that meant success, and when the time came for the second game the men were all in good condition for Millikin University. However hlillikin won as did Bradley Tech. the following week. With these two defeats the team got busy and took all-of their spite out on lXlt. Morris the following week by beating them to the tune of 64 to 9. With two games won and two lost the fellows journeyed down to fight it out with the Irish at Kankakee and again lost but by a very close score. The fellows displayed more football in this game than at any time during the season. At the end of the first half the score was ten to six in our favor. During the last half St. Via- tors threw so many fresh men into the game that they wore our fel- lows down and won in the last few minutes of play by a score of IQ to Io. Our sixth game was at home with Elmhurst College. How- ever, they showed little football technique, and the N. I. men won by an overwhelming score of QI to o. The next game came on Arm- istice day with Milwaukee Normal as our opponents. The game was played in about three inches of snow making it rather hard work for the players. It was, however, an interesting game to watch. The proceeds of the game were to have gone to the American Legion, but since the day was too cold to draw our usual crowd, the only ones to benefit by the game were the Milwaukee players, who won 27 to o. This game was our Waterloo for several of our fellows were injured. Captain Newman received a sprained ankle, lNIc- Cabe had his collar bone broken, Snow drew a bruised hip, and Can- non received a bad cut on his face. VVith these fellows out of the game our chances to beat VVheaton in the last game of the season were very slim. Despite this the fellows went into the game with a fine spirit and held them to a IO to 7 count, thus ending our IQZI football season. The members of the team were not very well satisfied as far as winning games was concerned, but they played the game with the best of their ability, played it clean and played it hard. hluch credit is due to the members of the team for their spirit and interest that they showed in all their practices and games.

Football Sweaters The football season of IQZI came to a close with fourteen men as candidates for athletic honors. Cn lNIarch eighth these members were presented with their letters and sweaters. The sweaters are cardinal with a black monogrammed N. I., and have black stripes on the left sleeve. The number of black stripes signihes the number of sports in which the athlete has parti- cipated while attending the Teachers College. One sweater bear- ing six stripes was awarded to Clarence Cannon who has been on six different teams and has won six letters. The other thirteen men receiving sweaters were: Newman, Johnson, lNlcCabe, Best, Rus- sell, Landis, Warrier, Devitt, Keefe, Snow, Kujala, Rasmusen and Lawson. Cut school as a whole ought to be proud of these athletes and should honor them highly. We should remember them for the way in which they represented us on our home field and on the helds of our opponents. The good sportsmen that they were in every game has given our school a name in athletics among the other schools in the Little Nineteen conference. VVhether winning or losing they always fought to the end, never forgetting their high ideals and sportsmanship. We all know that the men who have received sweaters will honor them highly and will remember their football days at N. I. S. T. C. as long as they wear them. C. jo11NsoN. D651 Ninrtrm Twentg -two Basketball The IQ22 basketball season at the Northern Teachers College was a very successful one. The team did not win a championship for the school, nor did they win all their games, however they made a name for themselves in defeating some of the best teams' in the state. The first game of the season was with Eureka College on our floor and resulted in a defeat for the Cardinal and Black. A few Weak points were evident in this game but these were righted and after another Week of practice, our boys showed what they knew about basketball and defeated lNIt. Morris 24 to 20 in an overtime game. Some injuries to players in this game hurt our chances for a victory the next Week, nevertheless our boys put up a good battle at Bloomington, but were defeated by Illinois Wesleyan 21 to 13. This, no doubt, was the roughest game that our team experienced during the entire season and if more than the four fouls had been called, the result would have been a different story. The next night at Bourbonnais, St. Viator had a fairly easy time in defeating our bruised team. After a week or rest and with the return of Newman to the game we took St. Viator by surprise on our floor and won 20 to 15. The N. I. boys put up a game that was remarkable and St. Viator had to admit that they were outplayed. At hlt. blorris the next week, a reversal of form gave to lXfIt. blorris a Win that they had desired for a good many years. lNIt. lNlorris had a good team but this was one time during the season that our boys did not play their game. The next victims for Captain Snow's men were the Arkansas Aggies. This Was a thrilling game from start to hnish and resulted 25 to 23 in our favor. At Naperville the next lXlonday, we lost a hard game, 25 to 2.t. We Won the next game with VVheaton, 28 to 16, and on Feb. Il Northwestern defeated us. The biggest game of the season and one that every student will remember, was on February nineteenth when Augustana played on our Floor. Up to this time, Augustana had only been defeated in two games and Were the real contenders for the l. I. A. C. championship. They expected an easy game here, but our boys played a wonderful game and when the final whistle was blown, were in the lead, 29 to 24. The last game of the season was at WVheaton, where little trouble Was experienced in bringing back the large end of the score. Again I say, it was a successful season. M. T. OAKLAND. f167l Un N ottlltr DONALD SNOW Full of pep and with plenty of scrap, 'fDon took care of his position at forward.

And when it comes to taking hard knocks and jolts, the Reserves Utake the berries. One day a stranger who came to visit this institution met a fellow Who had his arm in a sling, and he said to this fellow: '4My good lad, what is the matter with you? Were you in an automobile acci- dent? Oh, no, Pm a member of the Reserve basketball team. As the stranger walked on a little further, he met a young man Who Was Walking on crutches, and he asked, 'lVVhat's the matter with you? VVere you struck by a passenger train? HOh, no, it's a mere trille. I just broke my leg and sprained an ankle, practicing basketball on the Reserves. Here's to 'em.

Each year when the baseball call has been sounded by our coach, many faithful aspirants have sallied forth to brave the strong hlarch rains and winds to try their skill at the national pastime. The first few days seem very discouraging because they have to grapple with stiff joints, sore arms and sliding practice as well as the many other disagreeable features of the game. This year, however, prospects look unusually bright for our ball team, owing to the fact that many of our last year's team are back, together with some new men who have had some real baseball eX- perience. Qur squad includes about twenty men, all of whom are entirely familiar with the game, and as our schedule seems to be a good one, what more could a fan ask for? Those who are out for the various positions are Campbell, Corrigan, lXIcCabe, Prince, Best, Keefe, Lawson, Stegmeir, Rasmusen, Oberg, Snow, Johnson, Thompson, Kautz, Peterson, Camper, Warlier, Fitzgerald, hfarvin. Coach Harrison is working on the theory that a team of hitters is a hard one to beat and as a consequence batting practice plays a very prominent part in the daily practice. So if the weather man will only spare us some warm, sunny days to thaw out the sore arms and limber up our stiff joints, we shall be off to bring home the I N 77 bacon. BAMBY, IQ-P The Rookie He was only a baseball rookie, Nurse as he would its lameness. That came strolling in from the weeds, The kink would not disappear: And high were his hopes as a pitcher, And away with his arm went his high hopes, And performer of wondrous deeds. The hopes he had cherished all year. The first night out he was tearing, He tried hard and became over-anxious, Like a plowhorse released from the farm, For to fail meant certain disgrace: He began to look like a comer, Today you may see this same rookie, When blooey! Away went his arm. With a sorrowful look on his face. Experience has taught him a lesson, That perhaps he will never forget- To take things a trifle easier. And not live a life of regret. BAMBY, 19-P f174l Nmetem Twenty -two Rooters Behold! Onto the scene comes John Corntassel. It is his Hrst appearance at a basketball game, and his first glimpse of the night- life at the Northern Illinois State Teachers College. He was en- rolled as a student at the beginning of the winter term, so have pity on him, please. He hears some one say, The rooters are all out tonight. At first he is puzzled, because the only kind of rooters that he knows of, is a certain species of hog that is liable to do damage to meadows and pastures, if it has not a ring in its nose. The raw recruit from the farm has not yet learned what school spirit meant but he began to learn very fast. At first he shouted when the opposing team made a basket, and then he would be told to keep still, but as soon as they made another basket, he would shout encouragement again. In this he was like the little girl in this story: Both the photographer and the mother had failed to make the rest- less little four-year-old sit still long enough to have her picture taken. Finally the photographer suggested that the little darling might be quiet if her mother would leave the room for a few minutes. Dur- ing her absence the picture was successfully taken. On the way home the mother asked: What did the nice man say to make mother's little darling sit still? He thed, lYou thit thill, you little newthums, or I'll knock your block off,' tho I that thtill,', she explained. After this lesson in school spirit, John thought that perhaps it would be better if he said less, but he had to have something to do, so he took a package of Spearmint from his pocket and carefully selecting two sticks, he began to chew. The gum evidently tasted good, if the rate which he chewed gave any indication of it. Finally he was the exasperation of an old man who sat in front of him. He twisted in his seat and glared. 'fYoung man, he said, did you ever try watching a game with your mouth shut?'l Whereupoii John set his teeth firmly into his gum, so firmly, in fact, that he had a time pulling his jaws apart after the game.

Af V vs ff , , Won1en's athletics have, as a whole, grown very satisfactorily during this year and the outlook for more enthusiasm and spirit seems bright for the coming year. The major sports, hockey, basket- ball and baseball, have interested many girls, and the effort to do away With interscholastic contests and let anyone participate who de- sired to do so, has accomplished its aim. One hundred and forty girls played in the basketball 'fcolor tournament, whereas eight at the most would have played on a school team. The interpretive dancf ing classes have been successful and the girls are beginning to feel the joy of dancing tho they will never be professionals. During the year about sixty girls have enrolled in the swimming classes, the large majority of Whom are now able to at least get across the tank. The Hfty-five girls who signed up for tennis this Spring Will soon take part in a tournament, which will give them practice and the gist of competition. The aim of the department, to provide activity for everyone, to promote real interest in sports for sport's sake, has been, in part at least, accomplished. VVomen's athletics will soon be, if they are not already, the vital part of school life which they should be. EDITH L. BoND.

It Was, T Ween, a pleasant time. The helds were green and gay, When mony sprightly college maids Went forth to sport and play. They carried sticks of good, strong wood, Which spryly they did wield And use to bat sma' balls across White lines upon the Held. It was Wi' strength and vigor, too, They romped upon the green- For if they played but Weel enow They were to mak' the team. They played it gude, they played it fast. It never was the same For many secondswfor it was A Very lively game. They played it gude, they played it hard, With a hop, a skip and a run, And then they played the game some mair, To them it was sie fun. They played it gude, they played it long, And ne'er did any see The likes of such a game before, The likes of sueh to be. The students they did come to Watch And many townsmen, too, And they ha' na' seen games before As they did gaze on noo. The teams were picked and many games Were planned for them to win, But snow did come and now the sticks Are resting in the gym. DoRoTHY GooDw1LL I 181 1 Z U-te N otthtt -4 W. A. A. What do these letters stand for? Do they mean Women Aren't Athletic? Truth forbids. Discard that at once. Do they mean Wonders As Acrobats? That is not so bad. Remember Up in the Clouds at the Vod-Vil? There are a few people who say that W. A. A. reminds them of I. W. W. Don't think them mentally deficient for unknowingly they speak the truth. I. W. W. or I Will Work is the motto of every member of W. A. A. They work to promote athletics for girls and to back athletics for men. Yes. W. A. A. pertains to athletics. You have guessed it, the Womans Athletic Association. Burnish your memory and recall the time the girls sold tickets at the football game. Recall the banquet at the end of the season. See the tables in the study hall, smell again the delicious odors of the feast and smile as you remember the witty speeches and fitting toasts made in honor of the football men. There were candy sales in the foyer and at the games too. W. A. A. girls are always busy. Look at the hockey and basket ball teams. Has there ever been so much enthusiasm. good will, and school spirit shown in Womens Athletics before? W. A. A. has been the cause of this new attitude. W. A. A. has sponsored all the teams and has helped much to create an atmo- sphere of true sportsmanship. Every one enjoys a W. A. A. dance and the Vod-Vil sent us home for vacation with a feeling of satisfaction. W. A. A. is a live organization and let me remind you that it is just a new one. You have prob- ably forgotten the fact for you can not conceive of N. I. S. T. C. without the Womans Athletic Association.

The story is gloomy and sad to relate, Of how the said Seniors that night met their fate. The game was a hard one and one bravely fought, But the Work of the Juniors put their Work to naught The Seniors were plueky and fought till the end. The Juniors were plueky and luck was their friend. So when the game ended, a look at the score Showed that the Juniors had several points more. D341 Nmztrm Twenty -two Basketball Tournament From a total of one hundred forty aspiring basket tossers report- ing in the first few nights of practice Miss Bond appointed ten color teams and arranged a color tournament as a preliminary to the choos- ing of the Junior and Senior teams. The captains of these teams were: Orange-Lulu Austin. Blue--Ethel Titus. Yellow-Marion Cahill. Red-Loretta Reines. Pink-Lealyn Kidd. Green-Hollis Whittaker. Gray-Elsie Nelson. Black-Lucille Coffey. White--Laura Webster. Purple-Virginia Collins. With every team doing its best to make first place a fine quality of enthusiasm was displayed and the games were fast and snappy. Everyone of the thirty-nine games played received a support from the sidelines that showed an appreciation of the opportunity to see some real girls' basketball. The tournament closed with the Greens in the place of honor, the Pinks in second place, and the Orange and Yellow teams tied for third. Swimming 'fLet's go down to the pond. This is the cry of the times, for it's winter time and everyone is energetic enough to want to dispose of some of that suppressed, concentrated Hpepf' The beautiful night lends us enthusiasm, and as we approach, the crackling fire looks mighty inviting, for the biting air has nipped our Hngers and toes through their wool coverings. Eyes sparkle and cheeks are a vivid crimson. Soon we are warmed, and we start over the smooth, glassy ice. It sparkles in the moonlight like a mass of diamonds, and past the ice is a woods of shadowy shapes, bending under the additional burden of snow. ls there any place more im- pressive than our pond on a frosty, moonlit night? We glide over the ice as easily as if we were on wings. To be sure, there are a few cracks, but we may appreciate the smooth ice only more because of them. Come, we shall gather about the camp fire and sing a few songs before we leave. Soon the voices blend in the old darky tunes and those songs best adapted to the friendly atmosphere. We finish with our school songs and the 'fcastle on the hillu we sing of so loyally looms majestically above the trees in the distance. With all these beautiful and inspiring surroundings there is really no reason why we should not like skating best of all sports+and we do. bf.-XRY PIERIT KENNEDY. I 1851 The Notlhcr Imagine if you can a flower garden, perhaps the old-fashioned garden of N. I. Now think of soft music, carried by a gentle breeze that waves the flowers softly to and fro. Doesn't it remind you of something? What is it? Oh, maybe it is one of those feelings you can't express. joyous? Yes, delightfully so, and poignantly sweet and tender-and yet-?. Did you ever try to express such feel'- ings in motion? You haven't? Well, next best, have you ever seen someone else do so? Now you know what I mean-Interpretive Dancing. Tennis Tennis holds a prominent place among the sports of our college life. In 'spring the young ladies' and the young men's fancy turns to tennis. We have some rising champions, who rise in the wee small hours that others may not witness their distressing battle with the net. Some prefer the cool comfort of evening wherein they can finish a love game anywhere but on,the court. Then there are those who wear dashing sport clothes and give their racket an artistic twirl and the ball a gentle toss. Lastly come the honest-to-goodness tennis players. They go out with vigor, but the balls break a few strings of their fifteen-lb. racket, and gush thru a feverish game. Really, tennis at the N. I. S. T. C. is a serious proposition.

JUST IMAGINE THAT BALL IF YOU can MIGHT HAVE gone THE GYM- RIGHT THROUGH the window. NOT A ball in sight Hiking Hiking! What does that mean to you? To the ex-service man very little that is really sport is brought to his mind when We men- tion hiking. I-Ie remembers many a Wearisome march with tired muscles and sore feet and a heavy pack strapped to his back, which grew heavier every second. To the fat person who is reducing, a hike means a laborious two miles walked daily in order that he may grow thin. There is yet another class, the real hiker, Who in all kinds of Weather, at all times of year, will walk. A walk is life to him. What does it matter if it is cold and Windy? Doesn't the Wind urge him to Walk faster and faster? Doesn't it clear' his mind of all the rubbish and ill-feeling which has accumulated during the day, and doesn't it send him back with a clearer mind and a stronger body to the tasks to be done? And just as the wind blows away his troubles, the rain Washes them away and the sun comes out and shines so brightly that he even forgets he had a trouble. The real hiker will tell you the best Way to enjoy the out-of-doors is to walk in it, and to learn from it. VVhat more is life than to train ourselves so that we are healthy, strong and ready to do the work which may be ours to do. Nothing can aid us better in this than training ourselves to be good hikers, and so let us give seven rahs for hiking. RUTH IRENE MILLER. t18Ql ik: Notim Swimming f'Springtime is here And sweet summer is nigh. Sing, then, ye birds, oh, sing. Perhaps you do not see the connection between summer and swimming? Oh, yes, you do! And you are just feeling happy be- cause you have learned to swim. Cr--if you have not taken advan- tage of the course in swimming offered by our school this year, how much you have missed. You are afraid of water? Oh, but you shouldn't be, because you could not stay down under the water if you followed the direc- tions given by Miss Bond. During your Hrst lesson you would begin to understand how Alice in VVonderland felt, because you would continually meet with new adventures. You would learn with amazement that you could open your eyes and look around while under the water. You might be still more amazed when you dis- covered that the water did not run into your ears and nose. Per- haps you had always believed that your head was a sort of Vacuum Cand believe it yet at times? and that if you even dared venture so far as to put your nose under the surface of the water, that immedi- ately your head would fill up and you would Usee your finish. Would you be surprised to find your reasoning disproved? This is how we did it: After taking a shower, we all went into the tank. By encourag- ing us and working patiently with us, our instructor soon had every- one at ease in our new environment. We learned to swim-not by saying Hpresto, changew-but by hard practice and perseverance. Now, although we cannot swim well, we have a new idea of HH2 O and I am sure there are a few more happy people added to the infi- nitely long list of those who enjoy their swimming in the 'cgood old summer timef' FLORENCE RICH.-XRDS.

Wh: Northrr Reverie I wandered down in the old-fashioned garden As the sun was sinking to rest, on its couch of golden purple clouds. Around me was silence-the essential silence Which one must feel when alone With God in His great out-of-doors. The darkening shadows were creeping up to the tall, gray towers of the castle. All was still save the tvvittering sparrows that chatted on As to and fro and back and forth they went among the clinging ivy Wreathes. The Normal lake lay undisturbed inside its cat-tail borders, The drowsy hum of night moths came from the perfumed flowers. I stood, and could but marvel at all these gifts so rare, And raise my eyes in loving prayer for all this heavenly beauty, And joy and Wonder filled my heart as I slowly turned once more Back to the hum of the busy World, to the homes within the city. But long, long did these thoughts remaing And the picture is perfect yet, though the golden days of autumn have vanished And, long since, have passed the silvery nights of winter. But evermore this scene remains a blessed joy unfading. VIOLETTE L.
