Edith Jeanblunc Miller, Ar! Editor of the 1922 Norther, now an ercher of repute, has accomplished this in her Alma Mater . Published by the graduates of I930 Northern Illinois State Teachers College Dekalb Illinois Volume 3I 'THE LEGEND OF THE COVER LADY Once long ago in time thatis scarce recalled, There sprang to life a radiant maiden, high Upon the castle hill, where .wont to blow Was 0nd, the north windis strongest gusty breeze. And Ond each day the maidenis tresses blew Caressingly about her warm, soft cheeks. A griffin, tall and handsome as a god, Lived safe and snug within the castle walls, Safe-guarded by a band of griffins bold, Who scoffed at Ondhs attempt to freeze their wine. For they a toast would drink upon the towers, To the fair maid who danced beside their lord; As he her tresses wove into soft plaits. To shield them from the gusts of Ondhs cold breath. Then Ond grew wrathful, and from out the cave Of the north wind he summoned alliesi help; Until there raged upon the castle hill A cold winds overwhelming power and strength. It crept into the castle halls and towers, U ntil the griffin and his merry band Were hardened into everlasting stone, And perched aloft upon their battlements. Then Ond snatched up his cowering maiden fair, Unbound her tresses with his rushing gusts, And whirled her up into the very shy, Where still he keeps her, planet-sheltered, there, And wafts her tresses with his fitful gusts. Gaze up into the sky some starlit night, And see our Norther Ladyhs wind-tossed hair. TO THE CAMPUS Once long ago, before the glacier came, And with its icy fingers stroked our land. And smoothed its hard, rough surfaces of stone, There rose high up, in northern Illinois, A hill of roughened rock, and boulders sharp. But after Nature came softly to stroke Its rough contours. she left a low green hill, And then a twin lake nestled just below, I Where overhanging branches of green trees Did trail their pretty hngers in the waves. A stream wound in and out through mead and grove To form a tiny, white, cascading fall. Then, Man came, too, and added lovely trees Of evergreen, and spruce, and bitches white; And planted bridal wreath and peonies, Until at last a lovely garden grew, Gently to lie beside our castle walls, And form a spot of beauty in the land.

He was one of the builders of our school. For over thirty years he gave of his best to further its interests. He contri- buted to traditions that gave it honor and that made it beloved by those who went from it. EDNA G. STEELE She left to the College a beautiful memory of youthful buoyancy, poise, and reserve; of respect for worthy standards and high accomplishments; of a new faith and vision of a womank quiet control in facing issues of life as well as of teaching. In her going the cause of education lost a rare student, and the profession, a valued teacher.

DeKalb ALMA MATER Alma Mater fair Imid opening buds of Springtime, When the meadow lath is piping first his lay: When the lake oIerflown reflects thy towers and turrets; When the moon sends down its softest, purest ray; When the air is sweet with balmy breezes laden; Oh Itis then I sit and dream and think of thee; How majestic and how grand, Mead and prairie in command, School of mine I dream of thee. Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, Dreaming of the good old school days, When hearts were light from care and burden free; Hours of work and hours of play Made our life a holiday; I am dreaming, Alma Mater, still of thee. Alma Mater Ilone in frost and snow of winter, When the meadow lath has stilled his lilting song; When the lake iced o'er. refiects no more thy beauly: When the moon shines cold through nights so drear and long; When the air is filled with joyous happy laughter, And the click of skates on ice bound lake rings free, How majestic and how grand, Snowbound meadow in command, School of mine I dream of thee. The brow of the grove is bound with crinkled silver Imade from the souls of last yearls leaves. Save for that, her head is unadomed and dishevelled. But the wind delights to run his fingers through her hair and to laugh a merry laugh at her unresponsiveness. By and by shelll wear the mantle of womanhood and the windls last touch will be a stirring caress. Even now, people say, She gives promise of beauty in her springtimell. But the wind and I like this unkempt child the best. - . sxyx.x 4o 1111111 n 32$? m. 00 w nmmwaro5 NI, 300 - , o :6 vi 2?? .

White blooms bow to their sweet lake vision, like che glory and the freshness of a dreamu. I hunted half a day for a forgotten dream , then Wfowers and battlements it sees, Bosomed high in tufted trees . Through light and shade of forest glade we wander, to find the mystery that lures beyond. O towers that stand against the sky And, silent, watch the clouds pass by. The golden facade of the place where the Cinderellas live Comes a prince, and they are gone. The ivy climbs the tower walls to look down the steps where there is a glimpse of the old-fasht'oned garden beyond the beckoning path. hhThe poplars must soon be cut down to make room for the elms. hTHE GARDENER, 1913 Now the elms reach gracefully to touch the fingers of the trees across the way, and make shadows on the road. ' But early one morning we came to our campus, And lo was it magic displayed for us here? A glistening whiteness bad mantled each object- The terraces, river, each tree far and near. u; Neath white now lie sleeping Thy hill and thy vale, And blossoms are dreaming That bloomed in thy dale? In October the north wind came and brought to the bridal wreath its second blossoming. 31 OUR FACULTY The wise ones, who kept our dreams from being only dreams 32 HHHHHHH 33 HIIH 34 r, sewn: Lem: Ptznmonshfp I73 Q George.

J UNIOR CLASS A bridgeedo you think of it as a mere necessity, a span Which one must endure in order to get from one side of a stream to another? Or do you think of it as a thing of beauty in itself, something to be enjoyed? Such a bridge is the covered bridge in Florence. Beautiful pictures adorn the walls, pictures of historic significance as well as of artistic value. One lingers to enjoy them. One forgets that this is but a span connecting two enjoyable lands. And such a bridge as this Florentine one is the junior year of college. Lined with colorful scenes are its sidesupictures of a group of high school students Who are learning under our direction, rcmembrances of parties and games, picnics and hikes; memoirs of good times and of serious times; vistas of college corridors Which lead into a richer world. One forgets that this is but a span connecting the land of the Sophomore with that of the Senior. One lingers and enjoys the beauty. And then one passes onwwith a last longing look at the bridge traversed. OLD CAP AND GOWN Old Cap and Gown has sought me out at last And with a sheep skin scroll he uses for a scythe Has come to cut me of?: from youth. These four long years he,s waited here for me, And now Iell go with him and leave N. I. Yet ere I go unto that land from out whose bourne no traveler returnse He bids me pack a bag of memories. The time is shortelell grab these things on top. Red and black and pigskin of bright October days, The biting voice of Evansethe urging on of Hayes. The parties gay at Williston that savored of romance Where flute and harp and flddle were calling us to dance. Behind those towers in classrooms more sober memories run Of math and psych and history, and English twcnty-one. In movies and in sweet shops Where gathered brothers be We laughed and danced all evening-and bought one Hcoke for three. Then springtime and magnolias and birds and budding trees And extra work and interviews make mottled memories. Well, come, old boy, Fm not afraid to go.

Miss Celine Neptune and Mr. Connor became our guardian angels , manfully accepting these prominent positions, with all the attendant responsibility. We made our first standtat N. I. by sponsoring the Homecoming partyethe culmination of a wonderful weekend. Then Girlsb Athletics played a prominent part in our activities, our teams taking second place in hockey and basketball, and iirst in volley-ball. As a group we turned literary and successfully edited the flrst freshman issue of the Northern Illinois. When we weren't busy with parties, athletics, and newspapers, we made friends and helped the sophomores run the school, so we should be in practise for next year; Our prom we thought the merriest of all. We are planning to be the most outstanding sophomore class in the history of the College.

TREBLE CLEF Girls in black and white uniforms are singing in Gen. Ex. or before superin- tendents; girls in pastel shaded frocks are singing of the fays on the Iioating islandeand Treble Clef is again living up to its traditional standards of harmony and purity of tone. As they sing, there is a faint undercurrent that is not wholly the accompanimentea whisper of weeks of Monday nights spent in the tower room practising, nights when these girls threw off in song their school time worries, nights when lasting friendships were formedea whisper of the place Treble Clef has in the lives of these girls, their anxiety that they would not pass the voice test or be accepted by the senior members, their joy in the organizationea whisper of their appreciation of group music, unknown before to some of them. Girls in black and white are singing-do you hear those undertones of happiness and hopes and memories? W HTwo by two they go marching through, Those sweethearts on parade. As fair maids with their escorts stepped through the great heart into the gayly decorated room at the dormitory to honor St. Valentine, they gave their hearts up to the spirit of the saint. Many hours they danced and played. When the moon shone its brightest, happy tired groups left to hurry homeward, with hearts of all shapes and sizes as trophies. When the Clef begins to sing on every Monday night, Some people put their windows down and shut their doors up tz'ghtfl You can depend on it that something is happening up in the grey castle. And it isnt all work and no play. The play life of the Treble Clef began Witli; a dinner and initiation for the new members at the Lincoln Inn.

WHO9S WHO We hear them singing in our auditorium and at nearby towns: we 13nd them on the gridiron, basketball floor, and at the Cottage Cupboard: we discover they are marvelous at the bat, with the racket, or on the dance hoor. We find them in many departments of the College: Sutty and Shiner Hshine in Biology; Jimmy, Hans, and Stan in Chemistry; Becky, Dick, and Wayne in Education; Ben and Bob in English. Al, Brick, Carp, and Dutch learn Industrial Arts; Johnny and Whirl, Mathematics: Bake, Doc, Fogey, Ohley, and Tony are in the Music Department; Bill, Dick, Jim, Walt, and Walter in Social Sciences. Duke, Gordie, Hag, Howdy, Kelly, and Pinky, with Roe, Tommy the Great, Vernie, and Weenie gain well-rounded training in the Junior College courses. 85 ll H RIDING DOWN THE SKY On Friday, May t24, 1929, before a packed auditorium, Riding Down the Sky , an Operetta in three acts by Geoffrey OTHara, was presented by the Melodie Klub and the Treble Clef, with valuable assistance by the Fine Arts and Domestic Arts Clubs and by the Department of Physical Education. The stage portrayed a colorful Spanish plaza; the College orchestra played the tuneful Spanish music of the Operetta. The beautiful Carmelita, well acted by Birdie Kline, had her troubles with the aged and infirm suitor, Robert Sayers, who was aided and abetted by the flirtatious duenna, Leona Harris. Ben Baker, the young hero who came hriding down the sky to win the fair Carmelita, was romantically portrayed by Joseph Ridolph. The irrepressible Joshua Scroggins e Vernon Sutfin e provided comedy situations and allowed Pepitaeplayed by Constance Powelleoppor- tunities to display her proiiciency with the castanets. Wilbur Marshall, harassed president of Santo Delmonica, was protected by a colorful body-guardePaul Wintersefrom troubles caused by both Newell Miller, a revolutionary leader, and his wifehCatherine Conibear. The Americans-Spencer Sanderson and William Bealeancouraged the lovely senoritas to add much vivacity to the scenes. The dances by Juanita Smith, Constance Powell, Hazel Zeigler, and Marcus Hobbs were artistic triumphs. All in all, 'TRiding Down the Sky was one of the best musical productions of the College. THE ORCHESTRA The value of any collegelorganization is determined by its effect upon the institution as a whole and more certainly by its value to the persons who engage in its activities. Music is an important factor in a college, and N. I. hasiseveral organizations which seek to supply this factor. Of these, one of the most important is the college orchestra. To its members it offers benefits equalled by few associations. David Sherwood, director, believes that the purpose of college orchestral work is two-foldeeducational and recreational. N. I.'s orchestra has well achieved this purpose during the past year. The members have had many pleasant experiences and have developed a Wide repertoire of orchestral numbers, including symphonies, overtures, and lighter compositions, ranging from the older master- pieces to extremely modern work. A very well balanced grouping has been achieved in the orchestra this year and the instrumentation is of a variety wide enough to permit numerous effects. Although few public appearances were made this year, the N. I. orchestra formed the nucleus for the one hundred piece orchestra Which played at the Corn Pageant in Sycamore last November, and presented an excellent program in General Assembly for the student body. THE BAND Friday morning assembly, and the student body as a Whole is annoyed because an extra hour of sleeplhas been snatched from them. But when they enter! the auditorium andiisee The Band sitting with dignity on the platform, their wrath is assuaged. They play iiHail, Hail, the gang's all here , and the llgang sits up and dreams of battles on the gridiron, when the band spurred the team on to victory. They play HHail, the conquering hero comes and, in the minds of the seven hundred, the basket ball team trots on the floor. They play master- pieces, and their hearers ask, uWho says the college student doesn't like classical music? They play HDreaming , and the students turn to one another and whisper, Gee, I'll hate to graduate . While the students dream, the band fixes its attention upon notes, and rests, and time, careful to watch Mr. Chenette's baton With the eye of a hawk. The band wonders if Mr. Chenette ever gets tired of conducting so many bands-the local city band, our bandethey wonder if the ones listening realize that he is a composer of considerable fame. They think of the times they have played before large audienceseand admit to themselves that they played wellw especially at the county teachers' convention. The bands think of the members who ate acquiring a practical knowledge, which they can pass on to others. FORENSICS To the echient work of the coach, Mr. G. W. Campbell, is due the success of the speech depart- ment at N. I. Mr. Campbell started forensic work for the first time at N. I. when he .came here two years ago. He was well prepared for the task from his work as director of the department of speech in the State Teachers College at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. , In its two years in the field of forensics, N. I. has made a remarkable record. Both years, the school has entered the interstate oratorical contest, representing the state of Illinois. N. I. has had two state champions in extempore, and one in oratory. Last year the College was host to the , state oratorical contest, and this year to the intern state contest. The four debating teams have made remarkable records both Years. In 1929 the women's teams were runners-up for the state championship, were defeated by Normal University, and placed second. N. 1. has a system of awards for those who participate in debate work. A silver key is given to debaters who are in at least One decision intercollegiate debate during the year. A gold key is given to persons whd take part in more than one forensic activity in one year, or in debating two years. The hOnor key j is awarded to those who have previously earned the gold key, and participate in at least one activity in addition to debate. I The debaters who this year won silver keys are Harriet Hyzer, Dorothy; Youngblood, Mazie Monson, Ruth Gruschow, Margaret Clague, Edna- Schweitzer, Herbert Wiltberger, Clifford Erickson, and Blanche Breeding. Gold- keys were given to Harlan Hagman, Cedric Pope, Gladys Risvold, and John Wise, Willard Wirtz was given an honor key, having taken part in debate for two years, oratory last yeaf, and extempore this year. Mr. Campbell's able coaching and progressive interest in debate have led to a greater support of this type of work, and N. I. is turning out under his guidance teams of which the College is proud. Splendid support has been given to forensics, and we look forward to a finer development another year. DEBATE CLUB Back: Woods, Pope, McCray, Parson, Wise, Newcomer. Fitzgerald.

THE DEBATING CLUB The outstanding characteristic of the Debating Club is purposeful activity directed along two channels, forensic and social. During business sessions of the club pointed arguments are plentiful, and the twists of parliamentary practice often exceed the grasp of the members, but at least they are learning by doing. Efforts to speak convincingly and clearly have not been Without return. To attribute our forensic successes to the inHuence of the club is to be most generous to the other elements involved. A SOCIAL REVOLUTIONeWhat is it? The girls broke up the policy of isolation among the men by establishing themselves generously all over the mom; Laughter burst through the keyhole and sounded in the hallway. Thirty minds reveled in the bits of humor in clever debate or social gathering. Travel- talks by club members were of such variety that they exceled even the efforts of the faculty. Thoughts travel back to the clever parties and stunts that originated with Eddie Fitzgerald. Then the food prepared by the girls! And doesn't memory make you wish to live over the Treasure Hunt or the Cabaret Party? Amrmative: Monson, Hyzer, Gruschow, Youngblood. Negative: Lembcke, Clague, Schweitzer, Risvold. WOMENS DEBATE TEAMS Three public debates, including victories over North Central and their own negative co-workers, and a loss to Eureka, made for the affirmative team a seasonts record Which may be considered satisfactory for a group composed entirely of inexperienced debaters. Mazie Monson of Malta, team leader and capable third afflrmative speaker, will be lost through graduation, as Will Ruth Gruschow of Maywood Who, as first speaker, opened the contest With the DeKalb negative April II, at the Woman's Club. Harriet Hyzer of Rockford and Dorothy Youngblood of Aurora, who participated as Freshmen, Will be avail- able, experienced material for next year. Two of the negative team, also, Margaret Clague of Wheaton and Edna Schweitzer of Malta, will remain as a nucleus for a winning team next year, when Gladys Risvold of Aurora, team leader and veteran of last year's highly successful team, and Blanche Lembcke of Harvard, will be graduated. The nine to eight decision in the debate with the DeKalb afErmative spoke well for the forensic ability of the negative team, and much is expected from them in the regularly scheduled debates for the Illinois conference, Which were postponed until late in the spring. Affirmative: McCray, Wirtz, Wise, Wiltberger. Negative: Hagman, Woods, Erickson, Pope.

Developing his forensic squad around a trio of debaters from last year's teams, Director Gus W. Campbell produced two debate teams which established the enviable record of four Victories and one defeat, a record that places them well in front among the colleges that are contending for championship honors in the Illinois Intercollegiate Debate Conference. In the debates held by the DeKalb aermative team four students participated. John Wise, John Concidine, and Willard Wirtz formed the opposition for Mil- ton, In the other contests, Herb Wiltberger replaced Concidine. Wirtz was leader of this team. The team lost but one decision. . In the first debate for our negative team, DeKalb was represented by Clifford Erickson, Harlan Hagrnan, and Cedric Pope. In the other debates, Wirtz shifted to this side of the question and took Hagmanis place. Pope was leader of this team. This team thus far has not lost. It has one more debate. Other debaters who have Worked with the squad and who anticipate taking part in post season meets are Arne Huhta, Harold Carpenter, Eldro Woods, Perry Woods, Joe Ridolph, and Wayne McCray. WILLARD WIRTZ BLANCHE BREEDING THE SPEECH CONTESTS In the field but two years, N. I. has placed each time in the annual Illinois State Teachers College Forensic Contest. This year at Bloomington in the extemporaneous speaking contest, Willard Wirtz won first place, and in the reading contest Blanche Breeding placed second. With the topic HCourt Pro- cedure and Crime , Mr. Wirtz delivered a speech that showed particularly a thorough knowledge of the subject, clarity of thought, and forcefulness of delivery. In the reading contest Miss Breeding's charm and poise throughout her talented delivery of uThe Death Disc was most entertaining. In winning the extemporaneous contest Mt. Wirtz succeeded in placing N. I. in the Interstate Forensic Contest held here April 25, when the College was host to representatives of Teachers Colleges from five states, Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois. This was but the second time that N. I. ever held a forensic contest of such import, and probably not for many years will DeKalb be able to have it again. It was fortunate that our College could be represented by as capable and as experienced a speaker as Mr. Wirtz. INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB Stroll through our building to our many well-equipped shops and see our club at work. We say Hour club , because all those taking the Industrial Arts course automatically become members, as well as those who have graduated. In this course we come into contact with the fundamentals of many industries. Our garage, where we try out our newly learned knowledge, is filled to capacity at all times. Our priting presses are seldom idle. We print tickets and programs for plays and lectures, for debates and stunt shows. We print the Student Activity books, that everyone always forgets to bring to the games. We print dance programs for you to hang on the wall or paste in your memory books. We print campaign material for the May Queen. Now step into the finishing room. Do you like the smell of the lacquer? Over here is some furniture already to grace our living rooms or dens. We have done exceptional work this year in the making of book-cases, radio cabinets, occasional tables, and chairs. Come and see our drafting room. Here we create mechanical, machine, and architectur- al drawings. One of the aims of the club is to establish helpful relations with those of our alumni who are now teaching. Another is to promote good fellow- ship among the men of our school. You are always welcome to visit our shops and share in our industrial activities. Come again. i 94 3th FINE ARTS CLUB This year in the study hall you have seen several exhibits of' arteoriginal oils, reproductions of famous pictures, etchings, as well as products of N. Ifs own art attempts. We of the Fine Arts Club have been glad to bring these for the pleasure of those who enjoy this expression of beauty. We have found good times working in other ways, too. There was the fun of painting, building, and costuming for our Homecoming float tHow we did stuff dates, and dates, and more datesD, for the stunt show, the stage and the dance decorations which surpassed our most vivid dreams of achievement. We have had many good times mixed in with our responsibilities: supper- work-parties at Miss Meritt's apartment, where we made cocoa, sandwiches, salad, and all kinds of candy. Then there were the many trips to Chicago to visit the Art Institute, the Anderson galleries, the Chicago and Johnson galleries. Our pilgrimage through the Jahn and Ollier engraving plant was one of our most interesting adventures, and our night at l'Il Trovatore in the new Grand Opera House, the most inspiring. And last of all there were the meetings in which new ideas were experimented with-a full year of work and fun. 9 hi ll HANDBOOK FOR HOME ECONOMICS LEADERS Chapter I Chapter II Chapter III Chapter IV Chapter V Chapter VI Chapter VII T ABLE OF CONTENTS BECOMING A MEMBER DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP 4H Club Work LESSONS IN SALESMANSHIP Sandwich Sales Japanese Christmas Gifts FURNISHING THE CLUB ROOM LEARNING THROUGH, THE TRAVEL OF OTHERS Oberammergau Japan 'Round the World FINE ART OF ENTERTAINING Colonial Tea Dinner and Bridge St. Patrick's Formal FIELD TRIPS The handbook containing the above table of contents will be off the press in time for use next fall.

ALPHA PHI OMEGA ETA CHAPTER Alpha Phi Omega is a national college fraternityehonorary, professional, educational, and for social serviceeopen to those men above freshman rank who have a good scholastic record, who show qualities of leadership, and who have been or are registered Scouts or offlcials. Its aims are threefold: To bring together nationally those men who have been Scouts or Scout offlcials. To give opportunity for carrying out in college those principles learned in Scouting. To be of service to the administration in every possible way andt bring about a closer fellowship among the underclassmen. DEPARTMENT OF SCOUTINGe-N. I. S. T.eC. WALTER E. SWARTHOUT, Instructor The purpose of the Department is to train college men to fill the increasing demand for leadership in extra-curricular work in Scouting. Institutions which offer similar Scout leadership programs as a part of the regular curriculum are St. Cloud Teachers College, Iowa State Teachers College, University of Indiana, Columbia, Harvard, and Yale. The activities are directed under the skillful supervision of a proven expert in the field of Scouting. The process of being trained is not a dull adventure, it is rather one of interest and pleasure. Theoretical studies of the duties of a Scoutmaster are first considered carefully. Plans are made and opportunities afforded for practical trials and demonstra- tions. The enthusiastic discussions which follow the events are suitable means for measuring the results. One shining example was the group of small fires displayed one autumnal evening in Annie's Woods. A keen observer would have seen an aggressive bunch of forthcoming Scout leaders maneuvering steaks and cocoa pots over the glowing coals. This is only one, but other stimulating events which followed were the Rally, Overnight Hike, and the Banquet. Real trainingeuAnd How! Invaluable guidance in the Uplay-way of teaching was exhibited by means of ceremonies, formations, special drills, games, handicraft projects, nature collec- tions and other merit objectives of Scouting. The entire program proved to be an inspiring introduction to the science of leading boy life in the great out-of- doors. 98 Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association holds a unique place on this campus. It concerns itself with the spiritual, the cultural, and the social life of every girl in school.

TOWN GIRLS 1Wp WVJ: , . uAre all of these Town Girls? Ive never seen so many :ll M4, ' '3- an torium at a meeting in my life! ' 771 It was the flrst meeting of the Town Girls, and all the three hundred ninety- seven were there. Some were home girls and some were girls who roomed off campus, but regardless of where they lived, whether in Podunksville or Chicago, they were all heartily greeted by the old girls. Mary, Virginia, and Ruth were chosen to lead them for the year. Then castles in the air were built, plans for a room were started, and the work and play of the year began. The Town Girls decided this year to work for two goals: first, a room; and, second, a friendly feeling between the Town and Dorm girls. It seems that they have accomplished both of these aims. Their spacious, cozy room you will remember as the old penmanshiproom. Their first success came way back. when they won second place in the homecoming parade. How pretty their float was, and how they worked on it! Then the all-school parties, phoning for more cider and more punch, dances after victorious football and basketball games, candy sales, and sandwich sales-all helping to make pennies for the room. The happiest moment of alle-the Town Girls prom! It was during Christmas vacation and Kaye had charge of the decorations-all wintery with icicles, snow men and igloos all over the hall. Every Town Girl was happy to see her own dance so successful. 101 .N TOWN GIRLS The Stunt Show! The memories that it recalls! Hammering behind curtains, getting everyone organized, getting everyone to attend, starting the show on time, getting the lights changed for each stunt, making the actors quiet. They worked, but each little bit helped add a cushion to the room. 'Member the large prizes they offered? The gala opening of the new ROOM! A real roomawith actual davenports scattered about, a victrola and cute splashy curtains, their dreams realized at last. Thenaspreads, meetings, entertainments held in that room; if the curtain rods could talkawhat would they say? Graduation means the loss of the class of '30. But September will bring another flock of Town Girls that will love the room as the girls do now and who will help to make it a bigger, and if possible, a better, organization. Mr. Campbell and Miss Anderson were the sponsors this year. The girls thought them the best sports ever! Among the members, every girl did her very best, and the spirit of friendliness was the loveliest thing of all the year. Making new and lasting, loyal friends meant everything to the Town Girls. Memoriesamemoriesaof floats, of dances, of the prom-they will always remain in a safe spot in the heart of every girl. WILLISTON HALL We approach the welcoming door And enter the friendly living room From which float music and laughter. We cast aside care and Iive- Rejoicing to be part of it 1011, Our dear home, Williston Hall. In the dining room the unceasing chatter Flowing from happy hearts Spreads sunshine in our path. Burdens no more are heavy. Our lives are richer and gladder As we share our ideals and thoughts. Into our own rooms for study- There we can live with ourselves, And test, to be refreshed for the marrow. There is one cheerful room where we gather Just to sit and talk and listen, And we leave uplifted and thankful for life. All this well be sorry to leave- It's our home-our Williston Hall. 103 WILLISTON HALL GIRLS House meeting at the dormitory and one hundred and fifty girls are sitting, standing, reclining, jiggling about the room, chuckling over the idiosyncrasies of the faculty, chatting of student teaching, the Nnougey formal Williston Hall had, and l'he saidl's. Edna Boomer, our House president, bangs far from musically on the tried and true baby grand, and, except for the laughter ensuing from a hastily concluded tale, the room is quiet. House meeting means more to the dorm girl than HWill the meeting please come to order? and The meeting is adjourned. It stands for evenings when Miss Conard and Mrs. Crays talk. to us and we forget everything and see only Education before use evenings when we resolve to raise the standards of scholarship and fair play the Hall sets for its girls; evenings we shall always remember as an integral part of our dorm life. House meeting means something else, too. It serves as an oppor- tunity for myriads of themes of observation- there are so many girls who live in the dorm; and they are all different. One girl forgets to live in her desire to memorize her textbooks; another takes her books to the exchange brand new at the close of every term; one girl tries to amalgamate her school life with that of her social duties by continually using technical terms; another wins the approval of all with her friendliness and charm; another is always rushing and still is always late-she flies past, strewing comments here and there for the enjoyment and ediflcation of the ones she passes by. Dorm girls are happy girls. Perhaps it is because they are all different. McMURRY SCHOOL Another pleasant building on the campus, that means to freshmen just a grade school at college, but to student-teaching-sophomores, McMurryis portals are the open sesame to another land. Even its halls seem to understand the life in this miniature world, where classes are held as they ate in the castle, and yet in an entirely different way. There are real boys and girls for the practice of new theories of discipline by enthusiastic education sharks; a seventh grade arithmetic class where a math student, just returned from the Chicago clearing house, can explain the intricate journeyings of a check from iirst hand knowl- edge; a first grade art class at Easter tide when rows of lilies and bunnies appear for a border around the blackboard. Versatile interest holds the apprentice teachers and they realize for the iirst time what problems, reactions and adjust- ments are natural to real children. Friendly understanding and individual inter- est grow out of this group work, and the silent, guiding hand that steers the eager experimenter aright is that of the criticementor, adviser and friend. Co-operation between critic and student-teacher, between student-teacher and pupil, creates a busy, happy, profitable life, Where theories become realities and students become--teachers. GLIDDEN SCHOOL A walk across town to another grade school, far away, and yet' connected to the castle by a strong and steady chainethe never-ending processidn of student teachers who hike to Glidden, rain or shine, through all the seasons of the year. Some walks were pleasant in autumn sunshine; some dreary in spring rain, some cold and windy, when the north wind swept its drifts across the roads. But at the end of the walk there always waited the cheery, bustling, organized Glidden, the Glidden of smiling critics and interested supervisors, of growing orchestras and successful Operettas, of baseball and iiBeat McMurry! There was the Glidden of lesson plans, and teachers' meetings, of taxis and observation lessons, of programs and projects. The eighth graders thrilled over the 'slides they made to depict the adventures of Tom Brown and his schoolmates; another class made a real book, with wall paper pages and originalvdramas; still another formed a book club which functioned successfully and enthusiastically. Parties, held by lower grades where costumes and songs were merry and gay; Christmas with its lighted tree, Juneeand graduation. And how the children saved their pennies for the red and gold banner which said uThrift Honor Room ! 'All this so that N. 13s teachers may be real, vital, and ready for the children whom they shall serve. THE KINDERGARTEN Our kindergarten, under the supervision of Miss Harriet Zoe Conard, is in the Central School at Sycamore. It is in every respect a model kindergarten. You might visit anly day and find thirty active, energetic youngsters, bubbling over With enthusiasm. Early in the day the children enjoy a twenty-minute period of free activity. During this period each child does the thing he chooses to do. Little groups are scattered about the room4some building with the blocks, some playing in the sand table, some drawing, others using clay, and many sitting around the library table looking at pictures in the story books. The music period usually follows. Then the children sing tand they like toy, interpret rhythms, listen to victrola selections, and practise their kinder- garten band. A period devoted to creative work brings worthwhile results. Crayon work, paintings, clay modeling, and paper cutting ate practised. But the happiest time of the day is the time when the teacher tells the story. The children'gather around her and are as quiet as mice while she tells a fairy story, reads a poem, or a nature story. Always the same cordial; invitation follows, T'Please tell us another one. Friday is lunch day at the kindergarten. Each child brings his lunch, a sandwich and some fruit, Which is marked and placed on the table. The helpers arrange the tables, set them, pass the napkins and the lunches. After the saying of grace, God is great and God is good, And we thank him for this food , the children eat their lunches. At Halloween, Christmas, St. Valentine's Day, and Easter the children had parties, for which they made special decorations. On March fifthi the little tots adventured as far as the College, Where they presented a toyland scene for the students. RURAL LIF E CLUB We are the infant of campus clubs, but a thriving organization, notwith- standing. We have been meeting every three weeks, the fourth hour on Tues- days, in the music room. Our exploits are naturally more in the future than in the past. We had the' largest delegation of any collegiate country life club at the studentsW conference of the American Country Life Association at Madison in March. We look forward to taking an active part in the national meeting of the organization in October. Our chief objectives are to dignify farm life, promote interest in and sentiment for rural life and rural teaching, and develop in the minds and hearts of the students the needs and advantages of the country. The club hopes to promote friendship among its members, and a morale among the teachers in the one room schools. It plans by means of plays and other programs to link up the college with the rural schools of the vicinity. OFFICERS Mgrgeret Leahy ........................................ President Fiofence Bounds ................................... Vice-President Eva Mae Sands ................. . ....................... Secretary Florence Brunner ................... . ..... . ............ Treasurer LOVELL SCHOOL RURAL TRAINING IMPRESSIONS What have we learned? To do at least half a dozen things at once. To keep one eye on the boy in the back seat and oversee the primary seat work with the other; with one hand to correct an arithmetic problem, with the other adjust the window shades; and at the same time to conduct a properly motivated lesson in geography. We can manage a hot lunch project in the manner of a French chef. We know how to plan opening exercises that will start the day off right. We can build a fire or dust the room to the critic teacher's taste. We can supervise play or arrange a day's program with ease and poise. Lesson plans and manual training are no longer a dark mystery. We have gained inspiration from our training teachers. We understand children better. In short we have learned a little of how it's done. FIVE POINTS SCHOOL 1-09 H? COLTONVILLE SCHOOL The sardine well intentioned, an example has been mentioned Of repression and compression tightly done, But the rural student teacher is a similar sort of creature When shehs packed into the taxi one by one. No matter what the weather, at the post office together Waiting for the honh that calls us on our way, Wedged so close we cannot wiggle, dare not try the slightest wiggle, Start we gaily to our task each day. With a chauffeur often charmingenot flirtatiously alarming, Our rural supervisor sees to that- Sklmming bumps and railroad crossing, whtle we all are Wildly tosszng, Screechzng sometimes, wondering where we re at. At noon time daily lunches, balanced rations each one munches As examples to the child of proper food. On the playground gaily prancing, teaching new games most entrancing, Telling them they mustnht scrap, nor e,er be rude. Next year wehll.sure miss Ronald, Sam and Jackie, Melvin, Donald, Wish sometimes we still were teaching there. But instead of Janice, Floyd, or Helen, Delbert, Lloyd, Other names will fill our recordsewonder where! IIO GEOGRAPHY OF THE GREAT LAKES AREA A unique feature of our school is the Geography Travel Course which was given last summer for. the first time. To some of us, day-dreaming brings many pleasant pictures of this trip around the Lakes: Duluth, misty and cool, fog- horns blowing all night; Hibbing, open-pit iron mines; the Soo , enormous locks and continual activity; the panorama of the beautiful Thousand Islands; quaint Montreal with her narrow winding streets, her French old-world customs and speech; a study of an ocean liner; beautiful Vermont and the Green Moun- tains; New York State and the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain; East Aurora, New York, where one sees the exquisite work of the Roycrofters; Niagara Falls at night, the multi-colored lights playing on the water, the Mecca of honey- moonets; a cool luxurious swim in Lake Erie one hot afternoon in August; Ashtabula, smoky and dingy with much commotion; Sandusky, a trip to Kel- lyls Island and Put-in-Bay, an all-day outing; the din and clamor of the Ford factories in Detroit; the noisy zoo at Belle Isle; Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan and the immense new stadium; Holland, where one sees everywhere miniature wooden shoes and gaily painted windmills; Indiana, miles and miles of sand dunes; Gary, Miller Beach, a beautiful strip of smooth, white sand, an amusement center near Benton Harbor, concessions, bathing beach, cheap noisy crowd, stilling heat; the House of David, unusual people, young men with long hair and beards. All these and more we visited on our month's tour of the five Great Lakes, all alike and yet each one with its own peculiar interests. III WIN THE GEOGRAPHY CLUB uTo think I once saw grocery shops With but a casual eye, And fingered hgs and apricots As one who came to buy. IITO think I never dreamed of how Bananas sway in rain; And often looked at oranges, And never thought of Spainft To think I purchased boxes of Sweet spices from the East; And never wondered how they came To brighten up my feaSt. And in those wasted days I saw No sails above the sea; For grocery shops were grocery shops, Not hemispheres to me. Room I 24 was not room I 24 to us on a Friday afternoon; it was a phantom coach out of whose windows we looked on every land in the known1 world. After the week of trying to make A's and 13,5 it was really a most refreshing way to trave1-and educational, too. Where did we go? One of our travelers knew the way through the eastern and western parts of the United States, so we went With her. Another took us into jungle land in Africa, and another who had lived her youth in this wonderful land, showed us the mysteries of India. Sometimes we traveled just for the fun of going, but ever our eager eyes were alert for seeing. We had our ItHard Times , but we did not know the depths of poverty, for even then we traveled around the world. All of our travels were travels de luxe because our guides who took us knew every nook and corner on the old globe. And no band a-journeying ever had such pleasant fellow-travelers.l FINE ARTS CLUB GURST PRIZE HOMECOMING Did you ever see an Egyptian king, A Pharoab, all purple and gold; And a car made into a big, white rose, And gay clowns that never grow old?

Dey dot Mr. Crosbyeand-edere goin'e to get you , moaned Mammy Pleasant, the old negress, to Annabelle West, the hcanary of the play, as the audience shivered in anticipation and secretly hoped for the worst to happen. Nor were these vicarious thrill seekers disappointed, for the 1929 Sophomore-Senior play, uThe Cat and the Canary , provided sufflcient emo- tional excitement to last a quiet person for a lifetime. When characters began to V be murdered and vanish before the eyes of the audience and when two ghostly talons seemed about to strangle the heroine, the shivering became audible, deaf- eningly so. The choice of a play of the type of The Cat and the Canary was an inno- vation at N. I. and met with enthusiastic approval from the students and towns- people. The play was presented twice to large audiences. The success of the production was due primarily to Mr. Lyon, who devised a clever staging to suit the facilities of the N. I. stage, and who directed the production With a master hand. E l I lllli H II ttTHE KNAVE OF HEARTSlT The queen of hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summeris day; The knaue of hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away. The king of hearts called for the tarts, And beat the knaue full sore; The knaue of hearts brought back the tarts, And vowed her sin no more. Harold Carpenter was a masterful manager of the puppet show, The Knave of Hearts , because of his outstanding personality. This play proved to be a fanciful costume comedy whose theme is based on the theft of the famous tarts. The eighth King of Hearts, Pompdebile, would marry Lady Violetta if she could make tasty tarts. The Knave of Hearts saved the day for ViolettaeFrances Dorringtone-when he stole her pasty tarts and replaced them with his wife's tarts. All the characters played their roles in a most capable manner, proving that they were real puppets. Yellow Hose and Blue HoseeMarcus Hobbs and Francis Ryan-were the pastry cooks. John Concidine played the part of the King of Hearts, and Edward Fitzgerald was the worthy Knave. Howard Lee made a very amusing chancellor. Ursula, Violetta's lady-in-waiting, was played by Helen Smith. The heralds of the court were Blanche Breeding and Mar- garet Clague. 66HELENA9S HUSBAND99 Jeannette Curran as Helena won the favor of the audience by her beauty as well as by her immeasurable dumbness. Menelaus, her husband, worn out and disgustd with her continuous babble of beauty was inimitably portrayed by Mr. Clyde Lyon. Relief comes to all who have patience, and when Paris came and kidnapped Helena, Menelaus made no effort to stop him. Willard Wirtz, as Paris, proved to be the ideal lover, and brought his audience to the heights of emotion, when he carried away Helena. Cleo Krogsrud most ably fllled the role of Tsurna, the awkward but attentive maid of Helena. Francis Ryan made an instant hit when he appeared as the old weird-looking councilor of Menelaus and gave his theories of wisdom. I 1 6 uThe Imaginary Invalid , a Moliere comedy, was one of the delightful interests of the Winter Quarter. The setting of the play was simple. The play itself was a satire on the doctors of the seventeenth century, which is a direct contrast to the romantic comedy of Shakespeare. It represents real, not imaginary people. The plot centers around the eccentric actions of an aged French gentleman obsessed with the idea that he is an incurable invalid. Doctors and apothecaries do much to further this belief and some of the treatments they submit are farcical to the nth degree. At last realizing that he is the Victim of a designing wife and the doctors, the old man feigns death, only to see in their true light some of the members of his family. He realizes his mistakes and remedies them. Besides coaching the play, Mr. Lyon played the leading role-that of the Imaginary Invalid. tiTHE IMAGINARY INVALID9T THE CAST IS AS FOLLOWS Argan .........................................................

ETA CHAPTER ALPHA PHI OMEGA SECOND ANNUAL SCOUT RALLY On February eleventh, over two hundred Scouts and a large number of spectators were attracted to the College by the second annual Boy Scout Rally. Troops representing DeKalb, Lee, and Ogle counties participated in the program. The events scheduled for the evening were: 7:00 P. M. Music. 7:30 P. M. Entrance of troops, Flag Ceremony. 7:35 P. M. Welcome AddresswPresident Adams. 7:40 P. M. Oath and Law. 7:45 P. M. Inter-patrol contests. 1. Inspection. 2. Knot-Tying. 3. Equipment Race. 4. Signaling. 5. Indian Club Relay. ' 6. Fire by friction. 7. First Aid. Mr. Walter Swarthout, secretary of the fraternity, was able to secure Mr. Alonzo McGinnis, District Commissioner, to direct the rally. Mr. Ray Ulery 0f Sycamore and Messrs. J. K. White and Harley Rodden of Des Plaines were the judges. Members of the fraternity and the Scouting Class acted as assistant judges. The three troops winning the most points were from DeKalb; flrst place being taken by Troop Two, second by Troop One, and third by Troop Four. Presi- dent Adams presented the silver loving cup for flrst place and ribbons t0 the troops winning first and second places in the single events . Carl Ritzman, an N. 1. student, was given the Eagle awardethe highest rank in Scouting. The Eta Chapter has a twofold purpose for sponsoring these rallies. First, the chapter wishes the prospective young students to know what a fme college we have at N. 1. Second, the chapter hopes to give practical executive training to scout leaders who will be doing extra-curricular work in the communities to which they go.

NU IOTA PI The iiNorthern Illinois Press Club, perhaps better known as Nu Iota Pi, is the social outlet for the aspiring journalists who diligently labor each week to merit a few inches of valuable space in the Northern Illinois. The club is com- posed of those people who are members of the present staff of the student news paper and of those who in previous years have won the cherished iikey as a reward for their efforts. Those people Who are awarded keys each year become permanent members of the organization, while the current staff of the paper is recognized as part of the club for the period of time that it serves the publication in that capacity. Since the organization of Nu Iota Pi in 1925, its aims have been to stimulate an interest in journalism and to provide social gatherings for the club members. Social affairs are held at intervals of four or five weeks and a banquet is sponsored near the close of the school year at which time the favored ones receive their keys. At the end of the school year there will be approximately sixty or sixtyefive key-holders. A noteworthy piece of work carried on by the club each year is the publication of the Student-Faculty Directory in the fall. 2 :l 119 I Hill Whitson, Wirt, Francis, Lundstrom, Swarthout, Anderson, Lowe, Heiman.

ENGLISH CLUB Literary indulgences delight a group of people sitting in easy chairs around the living room in Williston Hall every two weeks on Monday evening. Voices buzzing in friendly chatter cease as one of the group moves to the chair at the table. Although the attention is focused to a certain point, the thought is carried far afield on a kaleidoscopic journey. The travelers in their comfortable chairs push out into many corners of the big world. Sigrid Undsetis mediaeval life in the Norse countries holds the voyager in wonder as he moves on into the land of the uJolly Beggars in the Scottish vernacular of Robert Burns. From here the contacts are various. NOld Cap Collier thrills us With his adventures. Several of the best short stories add pleasure. Pathos is aroused when the Lowries of uThe Scuffletown Outlaws think that life is only a feud. HFront Page makes one doubt the veracity of the modern newspaper. Heroes of the war in drama and fiction challenge one,s efforts for peace. Life in the struggle for iiPure Gold shows the futility of greed, while life in the struggle in uThe Great Meadow stirs one's patriotism. Modern lyrics charm and modern drama as seen on the stage in Chicago lends an interesting side-trip which includes novel entertainments. These travels make life between the covers of a book enticing. Such journeys never end, but con- tinue and grow into an ever-Widening world. i 1.2?A haze? m- 2:2 . g 0!

I. weathered the storms of conference gridiron competition last fall to return with a load of treasure as great as any pirate crew ever dreamed of capturing. Six opponents had walked the plank of defeat. One historic battle had ended before a decision could-be reached, while on but one occasion had the Cardinal and Black been lowered to the enemy. With crew and captain as yet untried, the Profs struck the iirst squall when the LaSalIe-Peru Oglesby Junior College attacked the N. I. eleven. The issue was never in doubt, however, Chick and his boys coming through with a 12-0 margin. A historic battle was waged in the North Central harbor and despite the successful advances of either team, the decision was a six-one, half dozen-the other, affair. In a bloody battle that covered the decks as well as the crew with gory honor, the Profs taught the ill-mannered Elmhurst outfit a 12-0 lesson. A Homecoming Victory over the ancient rivals from Mt. Morris was the next leg on the Profs' Victory course. Before the returned alumni, Coach Evansi men sent the Mt. Morris eleven to the bottom With a salvo 0f 26 shots far out- numbering the mountaineers' utterly futile attempts. It was upon the Alton Main that Evans met his Shurtletf. After a week of weather that made practice impossible, followed by a 350-mile bus trip, the boys were unable to turn the trick. A Shurtleff touchdown in the iirst minute of play proved to be the victory margin. Valparaiso was scuttled and .sent to the bottom while the Profs sailed home with a 34-0 ,Victory Hying from the mast. For the first time in history the Old Normal eleven was defeated, the Profs staging a last period rally to overcome a six point handicap and finally to estab- lish a 1 2-6 lead. The season ended with a 20-6 victory over Wheaton College. With almost a full crew already signed up for next year's voyage on the Con- ference Main, the team is looking forward to an even more successful season.

Maybe we ought to put back at least one bar of soap, anyway,'. Such things as this happen on the trips out of town that the athletic teams take in the course of a season. No doubt you have heard about Eddie George's exclamation of awe upon seeing a huge dirt dump near a mine in the central part of our state. The sheriff's son effervesced with, uBoy, thatls the largest ant bill I ever saw! ' No school year would be complete unless some of the athletes could visit a i lire sale. The occasion presented itself during the football season and some of the derbies, Skimmers, and what-nots can still be seen whenever the owners of such choose to display them, which is occasionally. Donnellyls level-head appliance is readily recalled for its own merits. If you wish a little entertainment extraordinary, ask llDutch Winters to tell you of the time that he was locked out of his room in a Springfield hotel by his charitable roomamate and thus forced to parade the corridor of the main floor in scantier clothing than that worn by a ballet dancer. It is needless to mention pillow fights, liwater carnivals , and mysterious telephone calls. And, of course, card games were entirely taboo. Who would think of playing cards when he should be getting his rest for the Sabbath? Neither were there any miraculous disappearances of valuables. None of the men ever took any hotel stationery, nor did anyone ever speak to the help, to say nothing about writing down names and addresses. Of course not! But, after all, college athletes will be college athletesaand the only thing they do not do after a game is sleep. 2.2.2.2222 Standing: Sitting: u-u-n-qy-n-u-4H wwwwwmw aaaaaaa BASKETBALL Pace, Christensen.

Ten victories were registered during the season, as contrasted with but four defeats. An interesting sidelight on the season's record is that the Profs held at least one victory over every team which they met, never losing twice to any one opponent. After opening the season with a 36 to 20 win over the local DeKalb Swede quintet, the N. I. five inaugurated their conference schedule with another victory, the North Central basketeers falling to a 39-26 count. The next two games saw Charleston Teachers meeting the Profs, and in these two encounters, Coach Evans' quintet divided honors with the Easterners, losing the first game, but avenging the defeat with a 28-25 victory later in the ,same week. Falling into a temporary slump, the Profs were forced to bow to Old Normal and then to the revengeful North Central five. It was only after Lady Luck had repeatedly frowned on the N. I. five at the end of two overtime periods that the Normal quintet snatched a two point victory. Again hitting their stride, the Profs took successive decisions from Wheaton, Armour Tech and St. Viator and then repeated their triumphs over Wheaton and Armour. The defeatof the Irish five from Bourbannais was one of the highlights of the season, the St. Viator quintet being considered one of the strongest in the conference. Incidentally, at their second meeting, the Profs were forced to accede the Saints a 24-19 decision. One of the'surprises of the season was the 39-36 victory of Coach Evansi team over the powerful Augustana five. Equally enjoyable from a local point of view was the 29-27 margin by which the Profs defeated Old Normal to bring the season to a successful close. Defeating Charleston Teachers, but bowing twice to the Macomb Leather- necks in the Teachers College Tournament, the Profs were early eliminated from the annual teachers college classic. The N. I. Reserves in their four games, two with the Wheaton Reserves and two with the L; P. 0. Junior College, established a record of three victories and one defeat. 1L ' 'DUDLEYecenter and guard.

Finding his stride late in the season, Red performed in a manner marking him as a coming star. A COACHlS APPRECIATION The year's success to a coach is measured not only in games won and lost, but in the spirit and morale of the men in his charge. To me the year has been a happy and successful one because the spirit of the men of N. I. lives on our campus today. It is not only a tradition that can be looked back on as the llgood old days , but an inspiring reality of each day. Your class-room cooperation has been commended by many of the faculty, boosters of every school activity. Fond of physical exercise, and gentlemen under all circumstances, you men on the athletic lield have been courageous fighters to whom nothing less than the greatest goal will sullice if it can be attained by fair, clean elfort. You have been modest in victory and loyal in defeat. I congratulate every man in N. I. for the yearls work. I have only the highest respect for every one of you for your sterling qualities of cooperation, sportsmanship, enthusiasm and courage. eCOACH GEORGE G. thickl EVANS. I 133 HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT Sixteen of the liveliest high school basketball teams in this section of the state gathered here during the Christmas vacation to participate in the second annual Holiday Basketball Tournament. Sponsored by the members of the Varsity Club, the tournament was even more of a success than that held a year ago. Proceeds from the tournament were used to furnish the Varsity Club room. Sycamore, runner-up in the 1928 tourney, and favorite in this year's classic, came through to defeat Elburn by a close margin in the finals. Hinckley proved to be the tournament dark-horse by defeating Woodstock, West Aurora, and Geneva to take third place honors. Appropriate trophies were awarded the first and second place winners. These holiday tournaments are proving to be a fine thing and the Club mem- bers are to be congratuiated for taking an interest in the prep school athletics. The tournaments are of value too, to the College at large for they introduce to high school boys the advantages of entering N. I. on their graduation from high school. THE ANNUAL CLASSIC The tournament of the Teachers, annual basketball classic among the five teachers college quintets in Illinois, was held at N. I. this year for the first, time in the history of the annual tourney. Entering the tournament as the dark horse quintet, the Southern Teachers from Carbondale progressed through their schedule undefeated, administering a 32 to 26 defeat to Old Normal in the finaIs. From the N. I. point of view the tourney was only a partial success, the Profs winning only one game before they were eliminated by a pair of defeats at the hands of the Macomb Leathernecks. Despite this elimination. the student body as well as the general public supported the tourney in a manner that made it one of the most successful in recent years.

The Sharpshooter quintet won eight ana'lost only' two of their tourney en- counters to become iichamps for this yeafs intra-mural season.

BASEBALL With a number of veterans around from whom to develop a winning nine, Coach Evans started his diamond work this spring coniident that the season would prove successful. With over thirty men reporting When the baseball call was sounded, interest in the spring sport seemed this year to be more Widespread than ever before. Four veteran infielders, an experienced battery, and one or two seasoned outa helders furnished a nucleus for Coach Evans, nine. Strombom, Corrigan, Eide and Swanson have all won their letters as infielders previous to this year, While Henigan in the outfield, Seibel on the mound and Donnelly behind the plate, are experienced men.

I. men are, this year bidding for a share in conference track and lield honors. Due to the lack of facilities, all of the year's meets were held out of town while the daily practice sessions were held at the high school field. A squad of some twenty men reported for the practice sessions and under the tutelage of Coach Evans, real advances were made. Despite the inexperience of the squad members, Which made impossible the development of a well-balanced team, the Prof barriers had the potential possibilities which promise future success. The track season opened with a triangular meet between North Central, Elmhurst and the Profs. The season schedule also included dual meets With the LaSalle-Peru track squad and the Crane Junior College outflt. The annual Teachers College meet was held at Charleston while the Little Nineteen Con- ference meet was held at Peoria. F. Robbins, Culver, Johnson, mgr.; Carpenter, Wagley, Alilunas, Ci. Robbins. TENNIS For the past few years, tennis enthusiasts in the College have been attempting to organize an oHicial court squad. It is only in the past two years, however, that these attempts have become realized. This spring, under the supervision of George Terwilliger and with Harold Johnson acting as general manager, a squad has been organized and a deiinite schedule arranged. Some ten or fifteen men are working with Coach Terwilliger and prospects seemed bright for a most successful season. Meets had been arranged with leading conference schools and the N. I. squad participated in the Little Nine- teen sectional tournament held in May at North Central. SCHEDULE April 24.North Central at Naperville May IO. . . .Sectional meet at North .April 25 ......

I. has a strangle hold on Little Nineteen honors. In the faculty division as well as among the student link artists, the N. I. golfers are developing an annual habit of showing their heels to opposing golfers at the yearly conference meet. For three years now Milo Oakland has captured high honors among the conference golfing professors participating in the annual meets. The meet was held in 1929 on the Soangataha course at Galesburg. Last year With the entrance of Arne Huhta, Kishwaukee Country Club artist, into the College, N. I. gained a student golfer that made an ideal' partner for ankie . To demonstrate his proiiciency, Arne won the 1929 Little Nineteen conference tournament with a score fourteen points below that of his nearest rival. Both Huhta and Oakland are favorites to repeat in this year's conference meet which will be held at the Peoria Country Club. N. I. welcomes the entrance of this new sport into the athletic calendar of the College and into a place of such prominence in the conference. ,,,,, 1 3y I1 17 H , H '3! !

Varsity Club has just com- pleted a most successful year. Meeting weekly in the Varsity Club room and participating in a number of social affairs, the Club members have made them- selves one of the most active and prominent organizations in College. The annual Poverty Party held in October added some real zest to the fall social season. The dullness of the Christmas holidays was broken by the hold- ing of the Second Annual Holiday Tournament, which brought sixteen lively basketball quintets here to match their skill on the courts. The returns from the tournament, which proved to be a huge success, were used to decorate the, Club room and to establish a sinking fund for the organization. Banquets were given by the Club in honor of the football and basketball squads at the close of their respective seasons. The year was climaxed in the annual formal dance held at the Fargo Hotel in Sycamore. In May the Varsity Rush was staged with the Club members enjoying themselves at the expense of numerous DeKalb business men. ' Standing: Peterson, Montgomery, Zulauf.

Dfs, but when they don their ancient sports outfits and sneak out of the locker room onto the baseball diamond or the basketball floor, they present a perfect portrayal of the flock of Hducks out of water . Memories will always linger of the 1929 faculty-student basketball massacre, the student plebians stealing most effectively any faculty claims to either dignity or diamond superiority. Jim Livingstone attempted to reduce the difference with some of his questionable flguring. Doc Hayes applied Thorndikian logic to the matter. Finally, Prexy asked if he Hmight suggest that the faculty re- frain from casting further their pearls before such swine. The game was called in the third inning because of rainea rain of student home-runs. The cultured representatives from old N. I. chose also to seek honors on the basketball court. Several games were played with other similar outfits, and al- though the basketball scores were nothing to boast of, the faculty hand-ball team was able to take every rival neatly into camp. Taken all in all, these profs are darn good sports . i43 H W WOMEN,S SPORTS A TOAST We may forget how to dance the thirginia Reel , and the correct way to 'hright about face , and the tmeaning of sticks in hockey; but we cannot forget: the good sportsmanship, encouragement, and whole- some vitality of M iss Anderson; the cheery smile, keen judgment, and becoming grace- fulness of Miss McKee; the leadership, ambition, and vigor of Miss Randels.

At first our coach saw few possibilities and let us wear off our excess pep through drills and workouts. In time, we bloomed forth into agile basket- ball players. Color teams clashed and games were lost and won. As the battle smoke cleared away the Eighth Hour team emerged victorious. We Sophs through Lady Luck, secured the class championship, but only after a neck and neck contest with the Freshies. The ineligibles, not to be downed by mere scholastic standing, formed the Nitwit Team that battled valiantly with the upperclassmen. As an end to the season, the squads celebrated in a jolly get-together. VOLLEY BALL See those girls of old N. I. Trooping out there on the floor? See the net pulled to position.

Sophomore moves are now more careful And the score is in their favor. Play hard, girls! The minute flying Soon will put an end to sport. Ah! the game is ouer- Sophomores are title bearers.

Cheat on the number of miles. . Flirt with the boys who insist on driving by to see that you really hike. Stop at the corner drug store to ,buy Hersheys. Remember your training rules. Race with the train at the Fourth Street crossing. Walk too fast past the style shop, or you won't see the latest cre- ations. Hand your points in earlier than two days after a hike. The shock might prove fatal to the manager. . Get up at five olclock in the morning and hike to the viaduct. Know the thrill of breathing fresh morning air. Remember the meeting place and be on time. . Walk on the right side of the road so that cars may not pass without your permission. . Persuade the little children to play in the vacant lots instead of on the sidewalk. This will give you excellent practice for debating or teach- ing. Hike for the love of hiking and its benefits, but do not forget how many points you are earning. . Hike when you are tired. The distance seems longer, and the old bed will look better when you return. Lastly, catch the spirit of fun that makes hiking one of the most popular out door sports.

SWIMMING liROW, THROW, GO, TOW ethese are the words every life saver wants to remember. If you are in doubt as to the meaning of these terms, just ask some of the girls who proudly display a red and blue emblem on their swimming suits, for they have gone through the rigors of life saving. They will tell you how much courage it took to jump into the deep end of the' pool and come up smiling. They will laugh and tell you they floated like a jelly-fish, crawled like a turtle, paddled like a windmill and kicked like a steamboat paddle. They will tell you that if you combine all these maneuvers you will be swimming. , They learned how to swim the side stroke, back stroke, breast stroke, and the crawl. HApproach , iistrangle-hold , surface dive and artificial respiration became significant terms in the swimmers' vocabulary. They will also tell you of the tedious walks to the high school pool, but an ample reward awaited them in the exhilarating swim and life saving practice. As proof of their aquatic abilities, the envied Red Cross Life Saving badge is in their possession. i t 154 .. .H ONiTHETTRACK Girls in black and white gym uniforms move excitedly on the field. Some are warming up for the one hundred yard dash; some are trying the hurdles; still others are clustered around the scorers to see the record sheets. In another place a group of girls who will compete are being ad- vised and encouraged by their friends. A whistle blows and the meet is starting! Sturdy girl athletes in turn throw the discs. Girls who love to run, dash down the lanes and skim over the gleaming white hurdles that seem small barriers in the race. Sturdy girl athletes, poised and steady, with javelins balanced, thrust them back and hurl them into the air. Javelins iiying, curving a graceful arch, drop until the tip catches in the distant green. The shaft trembles and shivers and gleams in the sun as it comes to rest. Modern Atlantas crouch, muscles tense, for the last event. Bang! the starter's gun is fired. With a leap they are off. Watch them! How they speed down the narrow taped lane. Fast, fieet runners. The leader spurts on ahead, swift and sure. She is surely going to win. OF the second girl is gaining, gaining. Faster, faster, they run. Now they are side by side. It will be a tie! Nohin a final spurt the second girl becomes leader. Keep it ukfaster, faster! She leaps, encouraged by the wild cheering on the side lines. Oh! she has broken the tape! A ring- ing cheer of victory hails the winner and we are glad she won the one-hundred yard dash. BASEBALL Spring, new grass, green fieldsebaseballl eThus runs the train of thoughts of a large group of girl athletes. They are anxious to be on' the field with bat and ball, catching iiflies and running bases. After some week of practice, squads are picked and teams are matched. Excitement runs high as the contest proceeds. The Freshmen hope to win, but Tradition favors the Sophomores. The Fresh- men are good sportsmen and smile with their defeat, and live with the hope of being next year's victors.

Pupils from the two grade schools had gathered to take part in the athletic games and contests on the campus at the College on the hill. It was Play Day, and such a Play Day! How those sturdy eighth grade girls took the running broad jump with grace and ease which would haVe done credit to some of their college sisters. The boys took part in thrilling races, jumps and many feats which showed well their youthful prowess. Student teachers from McMurry assisted the athletic supervisors from the college in keeping order among so large and so lively a group of children. Round balls in place of arrows were hurled at targets with accuracy and skill. One girl was particularly successful at hitting the bull's-eye, much to the admiration of her comrades, who formed new friendships with one another even as they vied for high honors. Credit was due the men and women of the College who were willing to spend time and energy to prepare the children for the contests on Play Day. All the young athletes and sportswomen are looking forward eagerly to the next one. I57 ll Ill PLAY DAY Last Autumn, on a Saturday forenoon, the Physical Education Majors of the- College were hostesses to the Girlsh Athletic Associations from High Schools in surrounding towns for a Play Day on the campus. Tennis, corner kick balk dodge ball, and in the gym, running relays, ladders, ropes and rings enticed the girls. A hilarious time was had by the young athletes, who proved their real interest in sports, games and athletic contests by their eager and vivacious parti- cipation in all events. MOONLIGHT MADNESS Crystal, sparkling ice, Flashing in the moonlight, Black boughs snapping in the cold, Blue steel blades ringing a merry song, Tz'nkling laughter and merry shouts, Litbe forms bending and swaying, Gliding over the ice, two by two, Sometimes one by one- A fantasy of glowing color under a solemn moon. ARCHERY Beyond the sunken garden, Blue, red, pure white, gold on black, Soft fanned by evening air, One, three, hue, seven, nine. Lie hidden gaudy targets, To strike the gold requires a knack; For N . I . archers fair. List to this prayer of mine- Diana, guide my arrow straight; Help me to make a score; Add but one gold point to my fate, And Iill not ask for more. TENNIS Mix together a beautiful blue sky with white patches of clouds Hoating here and there, a smooth fenced-in court, a comrade or two challenging each other's skill across the net, the sound of laughter on the air, and the result is the un- matchable game of tennis. At N. I. many have caught the tennis fever. Here and there are girls: and fellows swinging tennis racquets at their sides, either going to the courts or just returning from an exhilarating game. Joy sparkles from their laughter and in their talk. Here comes smiling Alice Toenniges; the tennis technique class this winter has given her plenty of pep. Over on the courts a double game. is in progress. Its a fast and furious one. Coral With her Wicked serve, and Muggis perfect volleys make a hard-playing doubles combination to oppose Elaine and Sutty. Dr. Gould is refereeing the match and eagerly waits for his tennis part- ner to appear. Even the hot weather holds no tennis bug away. The game has a fascination no one can resist, and N. I. hilltoppers prove it.

Consequently everyone missed about half of the festivities. Aside from attending the alumni dance, the pep meeting, the parade, the football game, the alumni banquet, the freshman dance, and the Williston Hall tea tbear in mind it's only one weekeendl, one liked to stop and chat with everyone he met. All in all, it was the most glorious, uproarious, and fatiguing week-end a body could hope to live through. 23. The Prexie sure knows his stuff about athletics. Did you notice how the usually bored as well as the always interested Gen Exers pricked up their ears? NOVEMBER 1. Don Maxwell, the freshman with the black, curly hair, it seems, believes in getting all the exercise possible out of a football game. Does it matter to him that the thirty yard run for a touchdown didn't count? Heaven's no! Think of the workout! 8. Football reports always seem rough on Johnny Mac. Do you think it's very nice to tell everybody about his latest crush or how many teeth he lost or the little Airdale that insisted on sharing his bed at Old Normal? Poor Johnny! and he played such a heroic game last Friday, too. 15. The boys know how to play basketball and footballhbesides that they're marvelous entertainers.

Mrs. Crays was entertained at an ex- ceedingly novel birthday party tonight. The menua-planned by an expert dietician-was composed of spaghetti, baked beans, sand- wiches, cookies, candy, and cocoa. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Thereis nothing like spaghetti to make a hilarious evening. 13. One poor student has already broken his New Year's Resolution to remain com- pletely wide awake in his classes. Doc Hayes somewhat caustically reminded him. 14. iiHerbie has his enemies, poor boy. Of course, you heard all about it? You havenit? Well, I hate to have this get any farther, because Herbie's so terribly shaken up over the matter anyway. Well-if you pro- miseait was this way. About five o'clock when almost everyone had gone home, an acquaintance of Herbie's under pretense of something important lured him clear down to the west end of the corridor and once there overpowered him and locked him up all by himself. Wasn't that awful? 20. Reports are being circulated that Mar- cus has presented Celia Mae with another proof of his overwhelming devotion.

Posture Weekw-Really you can't recog- nize your own roommate walking down the hall, and as for cataloging flfty per cent of the faculty, it's practically impossible. Have you noticed that squareness of the shoulders, that sturdy spirit of manhood that Mr. Mc- Clure radiates? That's what Posture Week did to him. Mr. Gould's athletic stride? Posture Week. Miss Mann's air of deliance? Posture Week. That Mt. Lyon's hasty little trot has become a dignified, martial pace? P. W. again, and last but not at all least, Jim- mie's newly acquired humility? Nothing could have accomplished thatmbut POS- TURE WEEK. And did you see Francis Ryan? He was more proud of his little red ticket than he has ever been over his literary achievements. 8. Poor Priscilla! She really doesn't know much about Chicago. For instance, had you asked her yesterday how far it was from the Northwestern Station to the Field Museum, she would have answered Three blocks . But ask her now, folks, ask her now. 13. The young men have been so inspired by the general feeling of good will that is being displayed by the feminine portion of N. I. that they, too, have decided to institute a heart week and hope to make it as tradi- tional as the girls'. Scummy has been saving his pennies so that Cully may take Pete out for a real good time: Rudy is doing lab work for Chub so that he won't have to wash his hands the usual six times before dinner; Red Pace assures Oley there's nothing he would like better than to do his little bit at Ob- lander's. 14. No one is certain what it means or how much it can mean, but Georgie Porgie Terv williger was seen in a Maywood Meat Mar- ket. Mark that wellea Maywood Meat Market. 18. The Freshman bench is the correct thing for springtime, but right now the win- dow seats are doing duty quite successfully. 19. And still they initiate. The Varsity Club went a step farther in the torturing of new members. Pyjamas-that's what they had to wear-pyjamas, mind you. Most of the initiates took advantage of their attire and gratefully snored through all their clas- ses. Circumstances were against the profes- sors; they weren't quite sure of their ground. This was a regular he-man initiation with big heavy paddles. MARCH 7. Another quarter ended, and 10. Another quarter started. 163 14. Have you noticed that the rosy bloom on many a cheek has been slightly dimmed? That the graduating co-eds have almost over night developed a fondness for all that is sensible in dress? That the boy friends have been left forlorn and desolate behind? And why? SUPERINTENDENTSI 17. Johnny Mac is in love-no one knows with whom, but many have remarked the dreamy eye and absurd smile which marks the state of love-lorn. 24. Loyal students of N. I. battle way to school in a blinding snow stormhoh, yeah? Bet the dean will be plenty busy tomorrow. 27. There's nothing just like a stunt show. Tony was quite all right, and Bob Sayers would make an excellent drunkard-even if he is a diligent Methodist Church-goer. And what of the Dorm girls' idea of Happy Days eno teacherSeno school-no studies; only dancing. moonlight, and romance? Think of the popularity of an institution with those last three qualifications! 27. Wee Willie proves himself a hero. The scholarly composure of the teacher of the Cultural Backgrounds class was quite need- lessly disturbed by the appearance of a very big, very harmful looking centipede. Had it not been for our hero's great courage and presence of mind, only the gods know what might have happened. 28-30. Jonesie tRed Jonesy gets seven letters a week from Boston, yet she assures us that she is attending a physical education conference there this week-end.

Out here we had heard that Boston considered herself a part of the United States in name only. But still it was a bit of a shock to see that she had definitely associated herself with Euro- pean powers. We hear that there is a third l'failure at nineteen in our midst. 11. Someway I didn't think Cedric Pope was the type, but tonight he brazenly parad- ed the halls of a Bloomington Hotel clad only in his good intentions-eif anyeand a pair of pyjamas. Onlookers say that his poise was superb. HHappy Days are here again ! Home--- new clothes, sleep, the b. fr-isn't it wonder- ful? Priscilla and Alyce find that Norther work includes sacrihces as well as honor. With a noble expression on their faces, a soulful look in their eyes, they telegraph uMom that they won't be home until Wed- nesday-if ever. 12. The Norther office moved down to the lake for inspiration and a conference with last year's Northern Illinois' editor. 13.

It's a keen idea to have a dinner dance at the Fargo. MAY 1. Back to the good old days of dogtooth violets and May baskets. The dorm front porch was cluttered with bashful boy friends' tributes to their lady loves. Tommie's offer- s l l l l '65 s 4 ill H ' il! 1 ll H Hi ing was mauve and yellow with a dash of blue, uRed Pace's was a brilliant red, and uOley deposited a green one on the steps before he toddled off. 2. Superintendents' dinner at the dorm. We all wore our best long dresses and our best behavioreand then found out that Superin- tendents aren't as stern as they had been re- presented to us. 3. And after all our plans to have the Sophomore Prom at Oak Ridge, again we dance in the dining room. But it looked ex- quisite, and wasn't it fun? 9. Play Day! More fun! More hairpins lost! More kids hurt! More student teach- ers had nervous breakdowns! It was a great success. Play Day is surely a great event in the lives of little men. I7. The Frosh come through with 3 mar- velous dance. We shouldnit wonder that with a little more practise they will come up to our level. Y. W. C. A. Cabinets dash out to teach, to learn, and to have a good time. 24. Today we crowned our May Queen. Has such terpischotean grace ever been shown on the green before? Didn't you enjoy Mary Anderson and Imogene Killey iioating like zephyrs in their cheesecloth gowns?

Scene of all the formals, and home of the busiest telephone in the country. Where the coeds flock every evening before trekking to the Cupboard. A few people have also been known to study there.

Elevenethe hour approaches soon, Lights out will soon announce our doom. We'll rise at two, our lessons get, The crisis will be conquered yet. But how-our clock is not enough; I know we two will just get tough Collect the corridorbs clocks all Iround To wake us from our slumbers sound. With two olcloclz the hour of doom. We hide them all around the room. And to our slumbers sweet and deep We dropeour tryst with dreams to keep. I leap from out my bedel hear Ten thousand fire-alarms so near That in my headlong haste to stop The sound, Get the light cord I flop. I dash in vain to 15nd the thing, When lo, another starts to sing. The first I find and quench its cry; The next still lifts its voice on high. I grasp the steamcock by mistake, And now the corridorls all awake. Another clatter crashes down; From iup above comes this new sound. I quell the high alarum bell, My room-mate stops the fifth loud knell. We settle down to study hard And reach ambitionls high award. IO. II. THE TRYSTERS . Please note the galoshesk in background. They are parked there at the re- quest of President Adams. Here are Johnnie and Helen sitting in the Window seatewhenever they have classes. The rest of us just fill in at times.

But it looks like the beach at Atlantic City to him. He isn't particu- lar. The cool ground under his feet on the bank, the splash in the stream-that's his idea of the way to spend every day of his life. ' lllu-u-nm A few years from now when he is singing college songs he will have a different viewepoint. Six years from that time his ambitions will undergo another change-and so on through. It would be hard to tell the boy that swims in the creek, but at a more sensible age most people know that it pays to lay aside a reasonable part of their income in the bank. Later when times have changed or vision brings new opportunities to light, a BANK ACCOUNT will make a big difference.
