PRESS OF Standard Printing and Stationery Company Waco, Texas STATL SPURRED on by an ex- aminalion of Ihe efforts in past vears, the editors of 1921 POTPOURRI feel that theirs is no easy task. A standard of accom- plishment has already been set, and it thereforeremains for POTPOUR R I this year to make such progress as is in keeping with the progress of our Normal and to approach one step nearer to theideals of ' POTPOURRI which are to cherish the name of our Alma Mater and to reflect life at the Normal, both serious and frivolous, in such a way that our alumni will recall their past associations here and be more closely bound by a common tie. and that the students now attend- ing may preserve the memory of Normal days. Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be. To Mr. Gko. Williamson, who, by his lon and unselfish service, has won a secure place in the affections of the faculty and students, this 1921 POTPOURRI is unanimously and enthusiastically dedicated.

The Alumni Association AND The Alby L. Smith Loan Fund — + — he Alumni, numbering over three thousand, E 3frj are from the class of 1886 to the classes of iar HQS? 5 1920 inclusive. These graduates have con- tributed largely in placing the Louisiana pub- lic schools in the forefront of the schools of the nation. In nearly every town and village in the state, we find one or more of these earnest workers educating the youth. Of special interest to each alumna and alumnus are the history and work of the Alby L. Smith Loan Fund. This fund was established in 1914 as a result of the merging of the Alby L. Smith Scholarship Fund with the $5000 Alumni Loan Fund, and was called the Alby L. Smith Loan Fund in memory of the Normal ' s first training teacher. The good done by the Alby L. Smith Loan Fund, during the seventeen years of its existence, in paying the entire expenses at the Normal two years for each of nine girls, is eclipsed only by the wider usefulness made of the Alby L. Smith Loan Fund in lending money to needy students at the Normal. From twenty to seventy loans running from $50 to $75 each are made yearly to such students. — — FINANCIAL STATEMENT Outstanding notes of former and present students. $3616.39 Victory bonds 1000.00 War savings stamps 832.00 Cash on hand 3677.19 Total $9125.58 PRESENT AIM $10,000 Now that we have four-year college courses at the Nor- mal, what should be the limit of our Loan Fund?

We love the whispering pines and stately tree, The very buildings and the campus green ; Still, Southerners have other fields to glean. Then in the future this will be our plea Where ' er we be, old lands and new the same ; Remember Normal and revere her name. — Catherine Hornsby. Southerners :: Spring Glass ' 21 Lea Sompayrac.

Corinne (after reflecting) : A conjunction is a word connecting any- thing, such as ' The horse is hitched to the fence by its halter. ' Halter is a conjunction because it connects the horse and the fence. Father : Elizabeth, isn ' t it about time you were entertaining the pros- pect of matrimony?

K. — — = HE first person to realize the need of a literary society in the Normal was Professor R. L. Himes. With the co-operation of sixty-eight ?==$M§ students and a few teachers, Professor Himcs in 1890 organized the Seekers After Knowledge Society. Year after year the number enrolled grew larger. Fin- ally it was decided that there were too many in the S. A. K. to accomplish the best possible results. During the session of 1891-1892, half who were not charter members withdrew and organized a society known as the Eclectic Literary So- ciety. E. L. S. chose for her colors purple and gold, taking one of the colors of S. A. K., and since then it has been the custom for the other societies formed in the Normal to have one of their colors either gold or white. This is but a manifestation of their honor and esteem for their mother society. As the name Seekers After Knowledge signifies, the members are ever ready to step into the broader field of knowledge which lies before them. Since its organization thirty years ago, about three thousand students have been enrolled in S. A. K. The many victories S. A. K. has won, whether in parlia- mentary law contests, basketball and tennis tournaments, music, debates, or what not, are a testimony of the faithful- ness, loyalty and effort that are shown in our society. Pros- perity and success lie before S. A. K., and truly a golden future awaits her. — Alice Bondurant. mnme Il l I II iinwuiimi E. L. S.

L. S. days are synonymous to me. The two socie- ties then ( ' 92- ' 96) met in the old Music Hall of the original Matron ' s Building on alternate Saturday nights. Dancing followed the program. Attendance was good and society spirit ran high. No vacancy occurred on an E. L. S. program. Why should it, with Robert Butler, Fred Odom, Bertha Raphiel (Brown), Rosa Colvin (Bond), Lucy Parsons (no longer a Parson ), and the late Emma Kearney (Bouanchard) to choose from. Open meetings were a joy. The Day was the annual contests in debate, oratory, and declamation. I fought out with three boys the question of Compulsory Education — it was great. But I lived through every contest and each victory to me was as personal as my own. It was E. L. S. first, last, and all the time. May our banner of purple and gold ever wave in glory and in useful achievement. — Fannie Nelken. : If I were to write to you something of the happenings of E. L. S. dur- ing the time I was at Normal, this would be almost a history of E. L. S., for I was at Normal such a long time, and actively interested in my society. 1 became first interested in E. L. S. while I was a student in Model School. I joined in 1903 while I was in High School. I was graduated from the Normal in 1907, but returned as an instructor during the summers of 1908 to 1911 inclusive. When I first became identified with E. L. S. it was holding its meet- ings in the old Matron ' s Building, but finally we were given space in a class-room in Boyd Hall, the Northeast Room, which was then used by Miss Morris. This was the home of E. L. S. at the time I graduated, and until the present academic building was completed. Some of those who were taking a leading part in the affairs of E. L. S. were Willie Doxey, Pearl McCall, J. 0. Modissette, Alonzo McFarlane and others whom I haven ' t space to mention. I think it in order to say, before closing, that I have had numerous oc- casions to feel grateful for the training I obtained through my activities in E. L. S., and that it is a very important phase of the training I received at the Normal. — S. M. Cook. One of the bright spots in my memory of pleasant Normal days is of hours spent in E. L. S. Hall. I can see meek Annie Levins, tiny May Rodgers, blustery Lasse Colvm, quiet Bessie Carr, dignified Marion Hargrove, jolly Harold Kaffie, wi?i- some Lucille Roach, serious Lalon Nelsom, thoughtful Maggie Bowdon, poetic Mary Meadows, good-natured Hardy Carter, robust Earl Freeman, and scores of others just as well remembered, taking their places in E. L. S. hall for the work of the evening. Quietness reigned and undivided attention was given to the program, consisting of debates, original essays, readings, dialogues, and music, and each member felt it a privilege to serve on the program. Since 1913 I have had three sisters, Stat, Lillian and Page, to graduate from L. S. N., and they were just as loyal E. L. S. members as I. May E. L. S. reach out its strong arm and impress upon the Normal students of today that Labor is Worship , just as it did in by-gone days. ■ — Hettie McMullen. E. L. S. today means much to the young men and women who meet under her banner, and one phase of this meaning is the beautiful heritage of service and growth that is transmitted to us from these early members of our society. To build where they have laid the cornerstone, and make our building worthy of them, of ourselves and of future members of E. L. S. is our tribute to those who knew and loved E. L. S. before we did. — Lucile Bonham. 1921 annszidSj Modern Culture Club — + — Motto — Through Difficulties to the Skies Colors — Olive-green and Gold OFFICERS FOR FALL TERM, 1920 Eeline Ramsey President Pearl Sibley Vice-President Juanita Coates .

Before this time there were only two societies, namely, S. A. K. and E. L. S. They had in- creased so greatly in enrollment that it was thought best to form a new society. On February 27, 1902, a body of thirty-seven bound themselves into an organization, chose for their colors olive-green and gold, and adopted the motto Through Difficulties to the Skies. M. C. C. now has on its roll seventy-nine members. From its victories one would think, like Minerva, M. C. C. never had a childhood. Honors of Modern Culture Club .4 — , 1903 C. A. Riddle ..

Captain Caspari, the eldest of six children, was educated in the land of his birth, and served two and a half years as an apprentice in a dry S a S 1 goods store prior to the Revolution of 1848. In 1849, then 19 years old, he came to the United States and settled in Cloutierville, then moved to Natchitoches, where he resided until his death. He did merchandising and farming until 1861, when he joined the Pelican Guards as lieutenant — subsequently he was commissioned captain and served the Confederacy faithfully and well for nearly four years. Mr. Caspari was one of the leading spirits in the building of the railroad from his town to connect with the Texas and Pacific at Cypress and was president of this road from the time of its construction up to 18 — , when it was purchased and extended by the T. P. It was through Mr. Caspari ' s efforts that this transfer was made. He was one of the most enterprising men in this part of the state. He affiliated with the demo- cratic party in his political views — and in 1884 he was elected to the House and afterward to the Senate, which position he filled almost up to the time of his death. In 1884 the bill providing for the establishment of a state normal school was intro- duced in the legislature and became a law at once. Then the question arose as to where the school should be located, and it was through the influence of Captain Caspari, who was then a member of the House, that Natchitoches was selected. For four years he was a member of the school board and he was foremost in defending and promoting the interests of the school. When a bill was provided for the establishment of two other Normal schools in the legislature, it was Senator Caspari who led the fight that prevented its passage. When Mr. Caspari died in 1915, in his eighty-fifth year, the entire student body of the Normal attended the funeral in a body to pay their respect to the memory of him in whose death the Normal School realized the loss of one of its staunchest friends. The three large societies at the Normal were relieved in the fall of 1917 by the forma- tion of a new society for students in the lower classes. This society took for itself the name of Caspari Literary Club in respectful remembrance of Captain Caspari. A year later, because of the decrease in the number of students caused by conditions during the war, the Caspari Literary Club was united with the Motor Board, the other society for students in the lower classes. In the fall of 1919 when the lower classes were discontinued, the C. L. C. became, and now is, a society of equal rank and standing with E. L. S., S. A. K., and M. C. C.

W. C. A. ._. . AM COME that ye might have life, and that ye might have it more abund- antly. Under this motto the Young Women ' s Christian Association has worked to develop the spiritual as well as the intellectual side of life at dear old L. S. X. In the early years of the Normal there was no such organization, hut in 1898 the need for one became so great that the Devo- tional Circle was organized, under the supervision of Miss Louise M. Trimble. This organiz- ation flourished, and each year claimed more and more of the students. In iqii the school was visited by Miss Sinclair, who told the girls of the great work the V. W. C. A. was doing, and urged that the Devotional Circle be merged into the Y. W. C. A. The girls were very enthusiastic, and soon a chapter was established here. This is the early history of our Y. Y. C. A., the oldest organization of its kind at the Normal. Each year the secretary of the Central Field visits the Xormal and by her talks inspires the girls to greater achievements. Late in IQ20 we were visited by Miss Rebecca Reid, who created a new interest in Y. W. C. A. As a result of Miss Reid ' s inspiring talks and the untiring labors of the Y. W. president, Elizabeth Langford, three successful drives were put through in December, n;20. The students were liberal in their contributions, showing how glad they were to be given the opportunity to help make someone else happy at Christ- mas time. Donations were made to three funds — to aid starving children, to assist the edu- cation of women in the Orient, and to bring Christmas joy into the lives of the less fortu- nate in the community. The work of the Y. W. C. A. does not stop here — the members are now, in connection with the Apostleship of Prayer, making little dresses and other garments from the discarded garments given by the students and faculty in order to render some service to the needy who are near us The Y. W. C. A. sends delegates to Blue Ridge, North Carolina, to represent the Xormal chapter in the national conference held there each year. In k;jo we were represented by Elizabeth Langford, Marie Lewis, Deryl Bufird and Marie Boggs The Y. W. C. A. now has a large membership of earnest, capable, intellectual young women, each of whom is actively interested in the welfare and growth of the organization, and their aim is that the Y. W. C. A. may reach and help every girl at the Xormal. — Mar tori e. C. Leigh, : Y. W. C. A.

Apostleship of Prayer The Apostleship of Prayer, or the League of the Sacred Heart, is a Catholic association of prayer, founded in France in 1844 by Reverend Francis Gautrelet for the purpose of ad- vancing its members in the spiritual and moral life and particularly of honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The League was or- ganized here at the Normal by the Catholic teachers and students in 1906. It has always exerted a powerful influence for good among those enrolled in its ranks. Meetings are held every Sunday afternoon and programs of a religious nature are rendered. These programs usually consist of hymns, prayers, stories, recitations, selections from Catholic literature, including current events and spiritual readings. These devotional meetings of the Normal girls are not only instructive but interesting. A small fee is contributed every term by its members and whenever the occasion arises, donations are made to religious organization through- out the state, and to any causes or institutions which call for charity. The Apostleship of Prayer fosters Christian piety, and binds all its members to work for the uplift of themselves and others and for the re- lief of the unfortunate. lit «UIH.

Lingini Orchestra Contemporary Life Club Its Organization : Its Purposes OWARD the end of the fall term of 1913, the students of the Normal fol- T lowing a Social Science Course, met and organized a club. The name adopted by the club was the ' Contemporary Life Club, its motto, ' ' Behold Progress. and its colors Emerald and White. The purposes of organizing this club were many. The members hoped that by such an organization, qualities would be developed which would make them true guides and leaders of the youths whom they would instruct. It was hoped that the members would take an intelligent interest in the vital questions. It was truly thought by the leaders that the members of the club would be influenced to be active for good and would form a full and more appreciative understanding of all the past and present progress. The more specific purposes were those of supporting in Normal everything that was desirable; of helping to forward its interests and plans; and of being of service in any way possible to their dear Alma Mater. This club was begun successfully but had been discontinued for a few years until the winter term of 1920-21. On January 14, 1921, a meeting was held for the purpose of re- organization under the supervision of Mr. Alvin Good, and the following officers were elected: President, Helen Blackwood; vice-president, Mildred Bland; secretary and treas- urer, Dorothy Gregg; chairman of Potpourri Committee, Susie Stewart. After this meeting there followed several interesting programs. Mr. Carver gave a very interesting address on the Constitutional Convention of Louisiana. At the beginning of the spring term the following officers were elected: President, H. Sylvest ; vice-president, Hattie Baird ; secretary and treasurer, Dollie B. McCearley. We, the present members, hope that the ones who take our places will gain as much appreciation, sympathy and knowledge of the forward movement of the world as we have.

On November 4, 1020, a meeting of the boys of the shack was held for the purpose of organizing a fire brigade. A week later the brigade held its first drill. The purpose of this organization, as the name implies, is to safeguard the lives and protect the property of the Louisiana State Normal School. The brigade consists of a chief, a lieutenant, sixteen privates and a mascot. Membership in the brigade is considered as a distinction and its members are subject to military discipline. On Saturday mornings once a month the brigade is drilled and instructed for two hours. These drills are designed to afford the members special knowledge and prac- tice in handling of the fire apparatus and appliances and in reaching the point of fire with the least confusion and with best results. The drills are thorough in every respect and approximate, as closely as possible, actual fire conditions. The names of members are the following: W. Hansler Chief P. S. Chambers— Captain S. A.

Saturday night the students of the High School rendered a play. Bree- zy Point, in the Normal auditorium Breezy Point seemed to be an ex- ceptionably nice place for college girls to spend a vacation and of course we know what all Normal girls thought while this part wa9 be- ing played. Miss Dexter was a charming hostess who understood ■rirls for she had reared an orphan niece and a poorjhouse waif. Through the aid of Old Clem, a gyp- Fy, she was able to locate the par- ents of the orphan girl We all re- joiced with Ashrael when she was able to pay back Billy for running away with the French maid. The story ended, as all good stones should, with everyone living happily ever after. The play was enjoyed by all and we hope that the near future will hold many similar enter- tainments. imwumia v2 © ATHLETICS Champions — + — FOOTBALL, FALL 1920 Center N. Williams Guard A. Freeman M.

What has come and gone? Why, the basketball season, but the memories of it will linger with each society member. C. L. C. and S. A. K. girls ' basketball teams met in Boyd Hall for a game February 22. Tis true one says, S. A. K. won the game by a score of thirty-one to fourteen! But one can say in reply that, Everyone played a fair, square game and was indeed a credit to her society and team. On the following Saturday M. C. C. and E. L. S. met and played a most interesting game, the score being thirty- three to twelve in M. C. C. ' s favor. This game decided which team would have to fight in the final with S. A. K. The final game was played on March 2, and it was there that we saw the strong determination of every player to help her team win. The teams were well matched and each put up a good fight. But owing to the crack players M. C. C. was fortunate enough to have in her line-up, she rolled up a most convincing score. When the whistle was blown for time up, the score was announced forty-four to nineteen. So another year M. C. C. won this champion- ship. We must not forget that credit is due the rooters from each society, for it was through their loyal and staunch support that each team was inspired to the last, even though they saw defeat was theirs. Through the playing of these games one sees the influ- ence which a good coach has upon every individual, for each team exhibited clean playing and showed fine quali- ties of sportsmanship. Bam! season ' s over, and we are already looking forward to the next with enthusiasm. iHiiimwiiiu te r ■ A Lament i i □ i i Teachee, teachee, allee day teachee; Night markee ' paper, never sleepee; Nobody huggee,, nobody kissee, Poor old maidee, nobody lovee.

The contest at L. S. N. had T begun. The gods had met on Mount Olympus to discuss it. Minerva smiled and was glad, for other things than the love of knowledge inter- ested her. She was interested in her own sex. She knew that time must he taken from the class hour for hopeful contestants to primp and she delighted in the thought. Meanwhile, Mars frowned; but Venus felt sure that she would be represented, when the honors were finally awarded. Neptune recalled the winds so that no accident might happen to any of the contestants. But Jupiter, curious and eager, suggested that Mercury be dispatched to Natchitoches. Straightway Mercury set out, and when he arrived he found things in a turmoil, for the contest had just closed, and the names of the winners posted. First came Janice DeBlieux : Ye gods! but she is zvondrous fair. And right on her heels came Miss Corrine Folse : Blue are her eyes and her cheeks like the dazen of day. Then came the stalwart and handsome Killen and Attaway. Thought Mercury: Such handsomeness was never before seen. Next were the attractive Misses Loyce Smith and Mattie G. Logan : For the king himself had followed them, When ' er they walked before. Mercury became alarmed that such beings as all these should exist on earth, and he longed to come to earth again — when lo and behold ! he bumped into Lois Lobdell and Lillian Vance, and Oh! they danced in such a way That no sun upon an Easter day Was half so fine a sight. Next stood Misses Ethel Robinson and Elizabeth Langford, most popular of all, The students call them very sweet; The stairs they tread on kiss their feet. Then down the long line Mercury saw two rays of intellectual fire, Lucille Bonham and Eleanor Alleman. And Mercury said: ' Tis good will that makes intelligence. Next came the two popular gentlemen, Sylvest and Porter. Said Mercury: Sonic shout them, and some hang upon their ears to gaze into their eyes and bless them. Maidens waivt their kerchiefs and old women weep for joy. Then came the athletic squad. Leading were Emma Wood and Jimmie Stafford, with muscles and strength like unto those of Atlas. Close behind were Micky Bland and Freddie Smith. As Mercury stood marvelling at the sights which he beheld, and bemoaning the fact that he would soon have to venture to his heavenly abode, he was startled by a tap on his shoulder. Turning to see what could have so suddenly awakened him from his musings, he beheld a sight that entranced him. Gazing up into his face were two coquet- tish brown eyes, twinkling like stars. The possessor of these eyes seemed to be Red Corbin, and Mercury was glad that he had come to earth, and he decided to remain. l -acffv ' £,7less w W PSlC taov L te o p tVa, Inter- Society Debate DDDD IXCE the organization of the Eclectic Literary Society in i8i)2, it has been Sthe custom to have in the Normal an annual debating contest between the literary societies. This splendid work has been kept up for years. It is of great benefit to the students and has made real debaters out of many of them. The debating teams of the three societies: Seekers After Knowledge, Eclectic Literary Society, and Modern Culture Club, met in the faculty room in the main building Thursday evening, January 6, for the purpose of selecting the subject for the preliminary debate which was held on January 22 between E. L. S. and M. C. C. They chose as their subject: Resolved, that no diplomas issued by any school in Louisiana, except the Louisiana State Normal School and the teachers ' colleges of Louisiana State University and Tulane, should be licenses to teach. Affirmative — Eclectic Literary Society, represented by Marie Lewis and Loyce Smith. Negative — Modern Culture Club, represented by Celeste Sibley and G. W. McGinty. It was also decided that S. A. K. would debate against the winning team, as C. L. C. had no contestants in the field. The preliminary debate resulted in a unanimous victory for M. C. C. On March 5, 1021, the final debate was held between S. A. K. and M. C. C. S. A. K. had as her able representatives Julia Heck and Deryl Buford. The subject of the debate was : Resolved, that the United States should recognize the present Soviet Republic of Russia. Affirmative — Julia Heck and Deryl Buford. Negative— Celeste Sibley and G. W. McGinty. The auditorium was decorated in the colors of both societies. Banners of gold and green and white and gold were hung everywhere. Just before the debate the men ' s Glee Club sang ' ' Stars of the Summer Night. After this was over Miss Lucille Bonham, who pre- sided over the meeting, announced that the first speaker was Julia Heck of S. A. K. The loyal support that Julia had from her society was shown by the loud and spirited cheers which followed. The next speaker was Celeste Sibley, who proved a credit to her society. The second speaker of the affirmative was Deryl Buford. Many good points were brought out in Deryl ' s paper. She proved that she also is a worthy member of S. A. K. The last debator was G. W. McGinty. His loyalty to M. C. C. was manifested in the way in which he rendered his debate. When Mr. McGinty had finished a five-minute rebuttal was given each side. While the judges, Mr. Roy, Mr. Prather, and Miss Hudson, were making their decision, the men ' s Glee Club sang ' ' Tenting on the Old Camp Ground. Suppressed excitement overwhelmed the crowd when Mr. Clark appeared on the stage to make known the victorious contestants. When it was announced that the decision was unanimously in favor of S. A. K. jubilant applause came from every member of that society. The yell which M. C. C. gave S. A. K. showed their good will and courtesy. This victory of S. A. K ' s has increased her admiration and love for her representatives; she is proud of them and feels that the honors were fittingly bestowed — Alice Bondurant. n Xormal Hill, February 20, 1921. Supt. Do-Little, Alls-Off, Louisiana. Dear Mr. Do-Little: I guess by tliis time you ' ve beard of me going to graduate from this Xormal College on tbe night of Mch. 4, 1921. Therefore I reckon its time I was looking for a job. I think I am notoriously qualified for the job I ' m looking for, because of the following articles : I have taken, 1. The curve system under Dr. R. A. Cummins. 2. I kin push tbe Palmer. 3. I can speak in the public because I have raved forth under Mr. Alexander ' s cautious teachings for six weeks, every other day. 4. I made D in Math. 9 after being exposed to it twice. 5. Least but not last the practice teacbin ' I done has fitted me for any job in the state. For any otber information about me I refer you to just any of my teachers cause they all know me and I think they ' ll qualify me for tbe job I ' m Iookin ' for. Lots of love, (MISS) C. U. LATER. P. S. — If you find that job telepbone me at your expense. TIME TO GO If she wants to play or sing It ' s time to go. If o ' er your watcb sbe ' s lingering It ' s time to go. If she wants your signet ring Frat house pin and everything (Speak, O Death, wbere is thy sting?) It ' s time to go. If tbe parlor clock strikes two It ' s time to go. If her father drops his shoe It ' s time to go. If sbe sweetly says to you Stay a little longer, do! Oct your hat and then skidoo, It ' s time to go. ai;niur THE PAIXTER Painter, what can you paint today? Can you paint a story so strong That men ' s heads will bow low, And their hearts will know How you seek to expose some wrong. Oh, no! my brushes are far too soft To paint a theme of such power. They paint a maiden ' s grace ( )r a baby ' s sweet face, ( )r they lovingly fashion a flower. They dip in the dawn of a summer morn; And from it, it ' s fresh tints take ; And their bright colors splash As they gather a flash Of the sunbeam that lies on the lake. And the purpling dusk of a try sting place, Or a home-coming late at eve ; And the little green mound On a li ill side I found — These pictures my brushes will leave. -T. L. B. Lucille — Red, is it my day for gym? Alice — What gym do you take? Lucille — Jim Stafford. In Natural Science Class — Mr. Williamson, explaining , and here comes the curious thing. Then the door opened and in walked Man Grace. Deryl — Agnes, you are always harping on something. Agnes — Just getting in practice for the next world.

The moon was shining brightly, So the birds came swimming round. I took my little shotgun And hated it up so fine That I caught a dozen birdies On the one end of the line. The weather was getting fairer As it rained all day that night, While I, bareheaded with my hat on, Showed myself hid from sight. As I stood there ever smiling With a frown upon my face, Not a tear could be discovered Trickling slowlv down in haste. t C E For I knew that it was morning; The sun was rising in the west; And though I hadn ' t hooked all the birds, I had done my very best. — TUANITA B. CoATKS. arjoo MY DOOR My door is such a gracious thing ; It framed the space she entered through, It arched above her dainty head, And caught the gleams her brightness shed As she came through. My door has lines of black despair; It marks a space she fills no more, 1 watch, half charmed, its polished gleams; It bids me hope, then mocks my dreams ; She comes no more. r mnm uuu What a funny, funny feeling, When you step from off the train And the crowd walks off and leaves you And there ' s a buzzing in the brain. Then you realize you ' re a freshie, Never left your home before, And have gone in search of knowledge And find yourself at Normal door. Of course at first it ' s not so nice, And people stare a bit ; But by the time you meet the crowd, Somehow you make a hit. And then, oh my ! how time does fly ! Six terms just slip by, too. Your heart begins to flutter. For vou will soon be getting through. Oh. joy! then graduation! You have journeyed — I may say — From a freshie to a senior, Down learning ' s broad highway. You leave your Alma Mater To teach the thing you idolize ; You say that you will teach for years, But I ' ll bet ' ' You ' ll be surprised. PEOPLE WE COULD GET ALONG WITHOUT The girl who follows her fist through a crowd — usually leaving Dining Hall. % : The people who climli over the chairs to get ahead in the line for admit slips at registration. The girl who takes such a deep interest in your grades. The cdrl who stops you on you way to town to ask your advice about something. Of course, she never takes it. The girl who borrows your worldly possessions, from stamps to stockings, and never has any when you are in need. i The girl who borrowed your notebook, and lost it. The girl who wakes up at four by the alarm clock and carries on a full blast conversation. i ii .... .nun. leAe % © thes£ old V£j te — It? just !d sin B5 ' SPAN ' S 5W New York CiV ' ' ■J n PHUodelpWia CHicagoV ork at War jSocks, and DoH ars with Int work at wa [he demand fd away from slol Ttter in. your hd the socks you wish to send us.

He hath great knowledge — of cigarettes and cuss-words. He possesseth a suit of clothes turned up at the bottom about three inches above his shoe tops. He displayeth a pair of noisy sox with purple background and violets to- ward the front. He weareth tan Stetson shoes and a yellow tie. The inside of his head resembleth a pumpkin. He falleth in love with a spindle-shanked maiden with pink ribbons in her hair, and he craveth for an auto that he may ride her forth. He thinketh work is sinful, and he scattereth his father ' s money as a cyclone scattereth a rail fence. He giveth no thought to his studies, but he sitteth up at night and thinketh of girls and football. He goeth to see Mr. Williamson ' s pictures and maketh himself at home by the side of his lady fair. He considereth his father a plodder and his mother a back number, and he pictureth to himself great riches suddenly acquired. He dreameth of steam yachts and private cars, and he thinketh himself the real stuff. He butteth in where he is not wanted. When he quitteth school he getteth a job in a grocery store in the country and maketh six bits a day. Such is a Normal Boy. —J. 0. R. A RUMFORD the wholesome BAKING POWDER There are honest differences of opinion among home cooks, as to which is the best baking powder, but there is perfect unanimity as to the kind of baking powder necessary to secure the best results in home baking. Every housewife will agree that purity, thorough leavening qual- ities, and dependability, are requisite in order to have light, wholesome and appetizing bread, biscuit and cake. House- keepers who demand these essentials, find RUMFORD BAKING POWDER most satisfactory — leavens evenly, thoroughly and in just the right manner. Always of uni- form strength, it can be depended upon to produce uniform results. Another reason why Rumford is to be preferred is that it restores to flour the nutritious properties re- moved in the milling. It is wholesome, economical and de- pendable. Rumford Stands for Wholesome Food Every housewife should have a copy of Rumford Way of Cookery and Household Helps by Janet McKenzie Hill and Christine Frederick. We will be pleased to send it FREE upon request. Rumford Chemical Works PROVIDENCE, R. I. § AK1NG owde5 r Overton: Papa, what is heredity?

It was therefore felt that some- thing had to be done in order to revive the spirit of the club and rectify The Shack , in particular, and the world in general. Accordingly, a meeting of the C. L.

Hound was ordered to guard the door in order that the proceedings of the meeting should not be made public. Although nobody knows the proceedings of this meeting except the members present, yet when it will be revealed to the world, it will stand out as one of the greatest ever held by reformers and diplomats.

Thou shalt not chew gum in classes, or any likeness thereof obtainable in the Y. W. Shop above, or Sam ' s below, or Charley ' s below Sam ' s. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of thy teacher in vain; for the teacher will not hold him flunkless that tak- eth his name in vain. 4. Remember Blue Monday to keep it wholly. Five days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the sixth and seventh shall be spent in dire fear of the forthcoming Monday. 5. Honor thy president, dean, and teachers that thy days may NOT be prolonged in the college in which they reign. 6. Thou shalt not be late to breakfast. 7. Thou shalt not commit thyself to having feasts at mid- night. 8. Thou shalt not swipe thy neighbor ' s property. 9. Thou shalt not bear false tales against thy fellow stu- dents. 10.

Lord, guard me in my quiet slumber And let no rats come to my num- ber; Keep me safely in thy sight And grant no disturbances to- night. God, protect me in my dreams And help me think up my English themes ; Take me where no bell will scream To disturb me in my dream. Far away to pleasanter scenes Where there ' s no stew, no rice, no beans, Take me back; I ' ll promise then Never to leave home again. Amen ! —J. B. C. THE NORMAL BOY ' S PRAYER Now I lay me down to sleep In my little bed; If I should die before I wake, How should I know I ' m dead? God, bless me in everything I do — That ' s not askin ' much— And let me believe her love is true, You know — all such. Lord, please keep Mr. Roy away From all our water fights, So that he won ' t sternly say, Boys, pay for the damaged lights. Plepse forgive me when I cuss The guys who make me mad By putting tubs of water under my bed, And when I fall it ' s sad. And grant no other fellow take My shoes and socks tonight. For in the morning when I wake I ' ll want them safe in sight. And, Father, have biscuits a-plenty All around my plate — Anywhere from ten to twenty — If I happen to go in late. Amen. -J. B. C.

Sixteen Years in ALEXANDRIA, LA. maas m - PLAN FOR 2B NATURE STUDY Supervisor, Miss Bordelon General Aim — To mold the child ' s character, if I do nothing else. To add to the vast knowledge of ths child something about birds, fish, ani- mals, alligators, insects, all living animals, all creeping animals, all crawl- ing animals, all flying insects, and all other natural phenomena that might in any way influence the child to become an accomplished naturalist. Topic — The Snail and Mosquito. Specific Aim — To show the children the advantages that a snail has over a mosquito, and vice-versa. General Method — Reduction. Class Method — Concert work. SUBJECT MATTER I. The Snail A slow but sure animal. 1 Description — a. A small animal ; has a cool, velvety skin. b. Never appears to be in a hurry. c. Motto: Slow but sure. d. Fate is the only pro- tector of the snail. DO OD PROCEDURE Johnny, have you ever seen a snail? Was it not a very refreshing look- ing animal? Do you think a snail could dodge an automobile? Did you say no ? Let me explain : if an auto should be about to run over a snail, Fate would step up and say to the driver, The snail is a very small animal. It always minds its own business, but it cannot hurry; therefore drive around the snail while it is yet still. Then the heavy automobile would pass on, leaving the calm snail un- harmed. Now, Johnny, are you not greatly moved by this incident? (Continued on Page 203) mi:mur( A « Louisiana State University BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, U. S. A. Thomas D. Boyd, A.M., L.L.D., President The University Includes — 1 College of Arts and Sciences 4 Audubon Sugar School 2 College of Agriculture 5 Teachers ' College 3 Coll Ege of Engineering 6 Law School 7 Graduate Department Under the group elective system, students in the College of Arts and Sciences may specialize in any subject or prepare for almost any vocation. There is an urgent and growing demand for engineers of every kind, for expert agriculturists, and for teachers — especially of agriculture and home economics. To meet such demands is the aim of the College of En- gineering, the College of Agriculture, the Teachers ' College, and the De- partment of Home Economics. The Law School, while not neglecting the common law subjects, offers exceptionally strong courses in the civil law, and therefore appeals es- pecially to students from Louisiana and from Latin-American countries. In the Audubon Sugar School, theoretical instruction is given at the University in Baton Rouge ; practical instruction at the Sugar Experiment Station in New Orleans. Students come from every sugar producing country, and the University has the reputation of being the best institu- tion in the world to train sugar chemists, sugar engineers, and factory superintendents. To students who have taken bachelors ' degrees the Graduate Depart- ment offers advanced courses leading to higher degrees. The next regular session will begin on September 21, 1921, and continue thirty-eight weeks. The summer session of 1921 will begin on June 15th and continue six weeks. Tuition is free to citizens of the United States; $150.00 a year to stu- dents from other countries. WRITE FOR CATALOGUE MiniurCAm _. PLAN FOR 2B NATURE STUDY (Continued from Page 201) E c III. a. b. The Mosquito A small streak of lightning — whose bite is quick yet accurate. 1 Description. Long - legged, with small, sharp eyes, wings that add to its swift- ness, and a bite that stays with us always. 2 Sometimes the bite of the mosquito is as deadly as poison. 3 Motto: I go, but I am not forgotten — and I may come again. Mosquito and Snail Contrasted As to color — they are similar. As to bite — they are not sim- ilar. As to effect — they are both deadly, because 1 The snail looks as if it might be dead ; 2 The mosquito leaves a feel- ing akin to death. This feeling may develop into malaria. Now, Jimmie, lend me your ears. What do you know about a mosquito ? Give a detailed description as to size, color and bite. How many of you children have not yet been bitten by the mosquito? Three? I wish you three children to see Miss Hay at her office hour this evening. There is something decid- edly the trouble with you. Now, I wish to hear Jane give a brief review of all that we have said about the snail and the mosquito. I wish you children to think over all that has been said today. And remember that we should not be as the snail — life would hold nothing of variety were we all so deadly slow and sure as the snail. Yet, let us not be as the mosquito. It gives nothing to the world except its bite. Tomorrow, children, we shall have a test on this lesson which we have just taken up so carefully.

Helen B. : I don ' t know; why? Lucile H. : Because so many fresh, green things come in. As I sat there gently napping, Suddenly there came a tapping, Tapping at my chamber door; And the lights all grew much brighter, And likewise the halls grew quieter, As my eyes so guiltily sought the floor. Under the bed two eyes were gleaming, In the locker someone seeming Just about to tumble out. The whole world seemed about to tumble; Everywhere I heard a rumble, As Miss Etheredge faced about. Everywhere were our feast dishes. (Alas we knew that her good wishes Were gone from us forevermore). Girls, what in the world ' s the matter? Methinks that I did hear a clatter When I stopped outside your door. Oh, Miss Etheredge, I think I am dying! And I started Molly crying. My head was really hurting then. I have been to the infirmary; And tho ' everything she gave me, She would not give me aspirin. And that kind soul gently c ' ressing Gave to me her richest blessing, And placed upon me covers three. Then she left with the kind warning, If I needed help ' fore morning, To send for her immediately. Girls, I just naturally felt some cheaper After my attempts to beat her. I was beaten at my own game ; And whichever way I ' m turning, I ' m just continually learning That most excuses are always lame. m -Lois Yawn. Wood Breazeale, Pres. Fair Hyams, V.-P.

HOW TO INTERVIEW PREXY When you get your summons for an interview with the president, don ' t hurry. If the note says Tuesday — Friday ' s time enough. Show up about six-thirty — this makes V. L. realize that you are a busy man. Walk right in — don ' t wait to be announced or invited — you ' ll take him by surprise. Don ' t take your hat off — merely push it on the back of your head like a movie detective. Sit on the corner of his desk, pull out a couple of stogies and offer one to V. L., saying, Here, old horse, wrap your mug around this. This lets him know you feel at home and can talk freely. If he seems a trifle at a loss don ' t keep him in suspense ; sing out, Well, bud, how ' s tricks? Follow this with a little sound advice, as, Mr. Roy, you sure have got one awful bunch of ham profs — they don ' t know straight up about the junk. You oughta fire the whole gang of ' em. This lets him know that you have an interest in the school. And when he does start to talk, and he will — prexies always do — keep looking out the window or take this time to read his correspondence. Oc- casionally sup plement his remarks with a nod or a grunt — agree with him, it pays in the end. In the middle of his conversation interrupt him, and ask if you can use his telephone. Call up some of your friends and arrange dates for weeks ahead — this shows him that you are a popular cuss. But never use the telephone without asking his permission — it ' s V. L. ' s office and he will admire your courtesy. When you leave, go out whistling — thus showing your happy disposi- tion. Then go and tell all your friends about it and pack your trunk. — L. D. H. Its Uniformly Mild Puritan Ham is always the same — mild and sweet, ten- der and flavory, full of wholesome goodness. That is be- cause of the utmost exactness which regulates the selection and preparation of Puritan. It pays to be particular. Always buy ham (and bacon) by name. Be sure you ask for Puritan. Be sure you get it. You ' ll experience an unvaried satisfaction. The Cudahy Packing Company The Taste Tells HaiTlS D. C. Scarborough U. H.

Here we are placed in a most beautiful environment. We might call the Hill a little colony — a world of our own — where we forget our past for a short time in an effort to gain an education. On entering the Normal gates one cannot help being at- tracted by the lights and stately pine trees. The buildings are very attractive and conveniently constructed. Some columns of historic interest and an ancient sun dial add to the charm of the place. The school day is spent in the pursuit of that knowledge that is of particular interest to us. After school hours we are free t: wander over the campus, read or study, or enjoy any variety of sports. Dormitory life is especially jolly and interesting. Each day is overflowing with humorous and sad incidents. The week-ends are enjoyed by all. We are given the opportunity to attend movies of the best sort. At other times the Glee Club gives recitals. We have also splendid lyceum numbers. By means of the Y. W. C. A. and Apostleship of Prayer W3 are given a wide field for religious development, and our life is thus enriched. I am sure that after we leave we shall carry with us tender and pleasant thoughts, and W3 shall always consider the days spent on Normal Hill am ng the happiest of our lives. — Ordine Siders. nun nun I S.
