Surely Nature lias been lavish of her gifts, and no town in Nebraska can boast of a more picturesque region surrounding it. Well-wooded bluffs, the majestic âBig Muddyâ in the distance, the river lowlands and valleys in great variety here mingle and make a picture worthy of a corner of classic New England. In 1S04, was started here Mt. Vernon Collegeâa church school under the auspices of the Methodists of Nebraska. This same year a three-story brick building was erected at a cost of $10,000â this was the beginning of old Mt. Vernon Hall, which burned in January, 1897. This single building served the rather manifold duty of dormitory, class recitation room, and library. During the session of the Legislature, winter of 1860-7, the property was tendered the state for a Normal School. In acknowledgment of the gift the Legislature appropriated money for the completion of the building and an endowment of twenty sections of land in Lancaster county. By provision of an act passed in June, 1867, the State Normal was formally located, established and endowed, and sixty acres of land near Peru was given in fee simple as a site for the school. Then was begun the Nebraska State Normal School. The Board of Education of said school held its first meeting in 1866, and elected J. M. McKensie president and his wife assistant. School opened in the fall of that year with this rather limited faculty and an enrollment of fifty in the Normal Department. From this modest beginning the school has grown for thirty-five years, slowly but steadily and surely to what it is today. The men who have successively filled the presidentâs chair in that institution are Prof. J. M. McKensie, 1866-71; Dr. D. Williams, 1871-2; Gen. L. J. Morgan, 1872-74; Rev. Azel Freeman, 1874-75; Prof. Albert The N. S. -N. 5. Nichols, 1875-79; Prof. S. R. Thompson, 1.87(1-77; Dr. Robert Carry, 1877-83; Dr. Geo. I.. Farnham, 1883-93; Prof. A. W. Norton, 1893-98; Dr. J. A. Beattie, 1899-00; Dr. V. A. Clark, 1900 --. To the faithful work and wise administrations of these able leaders and their assistant teachers, together with class after class of earnest, sympathetic students, saying by their presence with us and by their work while hereââWe are here to help and to be helpedââto those, I say, has the success of the school been due. We wish to mention particularly three persons who for years were connected with the State Normal; one as president of the board, one as member of the board, and one as preceptress, three who will be held in loving memory by hundreds now widely scattered throughout our own and other states. We refer to Dr. Geo. L. Farnham, Hon. B. E. B. Kennedy and Miss Eliza C. Morgan. Dr. Farnham, who passed away at Binghamton, N. Y., Aug. 2, 1899, was at the head of our school for a decade, from 1883 to 1893, In him, all connected with the school, whether as student or teacher, felt a just pride and entertained a genuine affection for. lie was great as a man, as an educator and as a citizen. In educational circles he is known as the author of the âSentence Method of Teaching Reading,â and the greater part of his life as a school man was devoted to the promulgation and practical application of the principles underlying this method. He was a psychologist of more than ordinary merit. In fact his âkeen perception, broad experience and profound erudition place him among educators of the first rank. Ilis personal interest in the students resulted in the filial affection entertained for him by themânone knew him but to honor and to love him. Ilis was a period of genuine prosperity for the school. During those ten years the Library Building, the Observatory, a large addition to the Main Hall and the Engine House were built, the electric light plant obtained and many of the beautiful trees which now adorn our Campus planted. We are confident that lion. B. E. B. Kennedy, who for more than a quarter of a century was president of the Board of Education, little knows how we miss his visits, else he would surely come again to cheer to encourage, to admonish and to make better for his presence. That he still watches our work with loving interest, still rejoices in our success, and sorrows when failure finds us, we feel assured. For twenty-six âș § âalong the âbig muddy' A ULIMI'SIS OK THK lâAMI US. « L i a years the students of the State Normal School received the wholesome stimulus that ever comes from good man. It becomes our further privilege to speak of Miss Eliza C. Morgan,now of Avon, N- Y., who for a long period of time was Preceptress and teacher of Literature and European History. Her usefulness was not limited to those who from year to year knew her at the State Normal, where her good judgment, tact, womanly sympathy, and loyalty won the respect and affection of all. Through those who knew her person- ally, her influence has gone forth to many more. Surely the debt of gratitude which the State Normal owes to Miss Morgan is a large one. âąâąThis lesson learned I from the shadow of a tree, whose branches to and fro did toss across my pathâour shadow-selves, our influences, will go where we can never be. The new Mt. Vernon Hall was opened in the fall of 1898, and the standpipe erected, both while Dr. J. A. Beattie was president. During the current school year has been added, through the untiring zeal of the head of the biological department, the greenhouse for the use of the classes in botany. To this many of the citizens of Peru contributed most liberally. 1901 will further be remembered in the annals of the school for the dedication of our splendid athletic field on Thanksgiving Day. This field is an ever-present reminder of what grit and hard labor will accomplish. We have the young men in attendance at the Normal to thank for this, nor are the young women to be forgotten, for were they not standing near, help- ing by their presence, their advice and their sympathy? We cannot draw this to a close without at least mention of our library, than which there are few larger or more carefully selected in the state. We are justly proud of its sizeâ13,000 bound volumesâand of its standing. It has grown rapidly but soundly, and the hundreds of students who have passed hours in its reading room can testify to its value to the school. Institutions, like nations and individuals, have their youth, their prime and their old age. We have spoken of our school in its youth and early manhood. May it not maturity, fulfilling Browningâs beautiful prophecyâ Grow old along with me!â The best is yet to be, The last of life tor which the first was made Our times arc in his hand. Who saitli: âA whole 1 planned, Youth shows but half; Trust God; sec all. nor he afraid.â TOt. ITcrmm Hall gormitorg L,ifc. TO girls the word âdormitoryâ brings a variety of thoughts. Some have an idea that it is a perfect paradise, and others that it is an awful jail, hut really it strikes a happy medium. The dormitory, at least as it is known to the young ladies of the Normal School, is a very pleasant home. Those who live there are benefited in many ways. She who comes from a poor home lias many more advantages than if living with a private family where there is only a limited number of girls. Here she sees pretty rooms, pretty pictures, cozy corners, fancy pillows and many little odds and ends so dear to girlish hearts. A spirit of friendly rivalry soon enters this girlâs heart, and she, too, will try to have as attractive and pleasant a room as her neighbor; this soon has its good effect on the minds and characters of sad or melancholy girls, âand sometimes there are a few, for the little informal parties given in each othersâ rooms, lias a tendency to cheer up the lonely, homesick girl, and soon she is one of the merriest, and as happy as the happiest. For the selfish girl there is no better place for her to learn to live for more than herself. People soon find out whether or not she is sociable or companionable, and if she cannot forget herself enough to do for others some she is soon left aloneâbut then conies an inquiry which soon results in a change for the better. Meeting with the girls in the parlors after the evening meal is always one of the most enjoyable occasions to all. There is music, singing, conversation, and occasionally some one can be persuaded to recite. Hut there is always a lot of fun. Fctcttlip W. A. CLARKâTeacher in a country school, 1870-71.

Another point was kept very opinion of themselves, it was not the fault of ' P much âhook learning;â that there was clear all the time-namely, that education âemselves for, while still in school. a practical side of life, that young people had better prepare From the Ixunni. We find, with very few exceptions, that the earlier members of the school have not distinguished them- selves as money-makers, but as far as we can find out none of them have been failures. In the first twelve classes of graduates there were eighty-four members. We are known in the His- torical Sketch of the Alumni as the âAncients.â Nearly all have followed teaching for a time after graduating, but only fourteen have chosen it as a life profession; three are physicians, eight are lawyers. We also find newspaper men, insurance agents, horti- culturists and home-makers among the remainder. But I think that all will agree that their work, in whatever sphere, has been accomplished better because of the training received at the N. S. N. 8. We have a personal recollection of all the graduates up to this time; some as our teachers, others as playmates, and more as classmates and friends. 189 2 The class of 18B2 left the Normal under the motto: âThe flood of time is setting on, We stand upon the brink.â Ten years have passed and the brink is clearânot a solitary member there. They have been jamming up against real life. New associations and interests have claimed its members until now none can tell of all the rest. We were graduated under the late Dr. Farnham, and the genial Mr. Kennedy told us, in presenting our diplomas, as he did every other, that we were the strongest class yet graduated. It was our pleasure to listen to the Rev. Robert McIntyre at his first appearance here as commence- ment orator. The only remarkable thing about the class was its size in point of numbers. Consisting of only nine, it has ever been a living proof of the saying that âgood goods are always in a small package.â From tips Jttiimui 18 9 9 H ic-li aee-traâboo m K i lli-k i-hi câr ah-zoom W illyâwa I ly-rol ly-ri x Weâre the class of ninety six N-o t-r-i-c-k-s I Thus, thirty-nine Seniors were wont to call attention to themselves in season ami out of season; one of the latter being when it was first given to the world, and, ringing out from the chapel, greeted the ears of our principal as he was sedately mounting the stairs, expecting to find orderly rows of intellectual Seniors instead of pandemonium. lie held decided views as to the eternal fitness of things anil the sequel is not for publication. A vivid memory of the wrangle of stormy class meetings conies to me as I write. I catch the tones of fierce argument, the (lash of angry eyes, see a fiery-haired young man fling himself out of the door, and, yes, even tears. But finally I see peace restored under the placid tones and politic manner of the âclass peacemaker.â 1' rom all that can be learned from the class since the old school days, each is living up to the oft em- phasized advice, âUndertake right things from right motives, and do what you undertake. Man have powerfully exemplified to the world the â Life Abundant.â 1897 The class of 1897 was the largest graduated up to that time. Its members were of very decided opinions as may be seen from the division in the class over colors, speakers, etc. Long and hard were the fights between âstandardâ and âprettyâ colors. But the standard prevailed; the class colors were black and orange. Front tl c Irmui. The class were united in their great sorrow. The death of Miss Claud Phillips left one vacant chair. 180 8 The class of 1898 made a departure from the general line of procedure, wearing caps and gowns. But there was decided dissension here, also, for four of the Seniors appeared without their uniforms. They fin- ished their class day exercises with a holocaust, in which a small, red, long-tailed spirit (?) figured promi- nently. 18 0 0 The class of ninety-nine was the first to give a class play at the N. S. N. S. They are unsurpassed in coining riddles, conundrums and âhits.â Even yet a few stray notes of âMy, oh my, your blue blood will be boiling, boiling Youâll hear the warning ciy,â float on the air. 10 0 0 Nineteen Hundredâs class play reviewed all the jokes of the year, including oysters. Their district school was a picture from Memoryâs wall to many. Better acting was never seen on the Normal rostrum. 10 01 The class of Nineteen-One distinguished themselves in the Senior year, by carrying about canes from which the lavender and purple floated. They were a class of great ambitions. They took part in the Annual Debates with Missouri and Kansas. The certainty of their success was gently expressed as follows: From tlic Alumni W'liiil do you think tbt St niori will do? K n 3 it - m iv-zoo - ka-otoo- k u - «âą, ( -!1, m-v! Wnit-nnd-MoI!!

Once I stood on its lofty tower When the bell was striking the happy hour The children await. And a sadness filled my heart As I watched them homeward start. And thought of the time when we must part: The âClass of â98.â â(Out Ima Water IIY SKKKI'TA A. CKAItTKKK, |8qX. HV KPKrlAI, I'KUMIXrflOM. ) Thus 1 stood gloomily thinking, all alone, Of the end of the pleasures we have known And it made me sad. Then I thought of the work there is to do And thought of my classmates, noble and true. All ready and eager for duties new. And 1 was glad. Then a pretty bird llew to a tree quite near And began to sing: the song so queer My attention drew. And this is the story of the singing bird: It sang so sweet my soul it stirred And I'll tell it to you, word for word, The tale so true. âą Thc world needs souls both pure and true: There's a grand Life work for each to do. Be sure to find it. Though stony, perchance, and rough the way. Tho' the heavens sometimes are drear and gray. Keep steadily on till a brighter day And never mind it. True greatness is given not by chances, You can control your circumstances If you only try. Only a day and your race is run; Let it not be till much good you've clone. Until for man some victory you've won. Be ashamed to die. Let love for man be your heartâs dear treasure Then instead of a task youâll find it a pleasure To help another. Opportunities grasp for diffusing light: Many there are whom Lite's duties affright: Ymtr lamp will shine with a beam more bright To light vour brother.â The little bird took wing and flew. I watched till lie was only a speck in the blue. Oh, a lesson ! thought I. Mis storyâs for us but we must apply it. And contains good lessons if we profit by it. YVc can be useful, no one can deny it, And we will try. (Class of -Xmctceu-Tum CoWtRS lllm k Jimi fiulil, Fu iwkkâTin- DufMiI, VfiiTToâTi 1 â nml to«Jo. Ci iws Yki.l.

Could those halting lads Who scarce can spell, or say their letters Be they who sealed poor Kansasâ fate, And showed Missouri boys their betters? âTwas to the Misses Cowansâ school, With happy thoughts and childish prattle, They came to spend this joyous eve In short parole from studyâs battle. Songs and first exercises oâer âTwas time for lessons just beginning And Isaac Tullius and other lads Line up to do their sums, a'grinning. At length came reading lessons, too. With drills and practice in tongue twisting Because our teacher said she knew Such drill was good: she kept insisting. At last came time for a recess. The hour for which we all were longing. And lads and lassies all ate lunch Until they heard the bellâs «ling «longing. A good half-holiday was given To be enjoyed in games and laughter; A snatch of âRing around a rosyâ Brought back the past school days the fast But soon the time for play was oâer Each to the teacher said good night. As all trudged home, they gaily sang Strains of âThe Pale-blue and the White. âTil K MISSES COWANS DISTRICT SCHOOL hâ r â â V b . (it kV V Mar 4 f. IM  | - 1 MO +4 ut Ui fet'd Here arc found fair men and maidens. Men and maidens from Nebraska, From the prairies of Nebraska, From the sandhills and the prairies, From the hamlets and the cities, From the village and the farm-house. From the sunny Kansas border, From the stales across the river, âCross the great and muddy river, From the land of the Dakotas, Came they all unto the Normalâ Came they to this hall of learning. And among them, first and foremost. Mightiest of all the classes That have eâer been graduated From the Normal of Nebraska, The Sagas of the Senior N the Sagas of Nebraska. In the great and wondrous stories. There are told great deeds of valor. Deeds of bravery and valor, Of the students of the Normal. Stands the class of all the classes. Nineteen-two the class of classes. In the year of nine and ninety, In the autumn month. September, Came these earnest youths and maidens And applied for registration. They were of assorted sizes, Varied sizes and complexions. But they had their wits about them, Knew which side their bread was buttered. Knew they, strength depends on union. Straightway they combined their forces. Choosing Schicmann as their leader. That they might be more acquainted They arranged to go star-gazing, But so green and bashful were they, They could hardly view each other. Till the dark and dusky midnight, Waiting for the falling starlets, For the stars that neâer descended. All alone and solitary. Went they to and from the gazing. From the vain and fruitless gazing. In that year of nine and ninety Nothing of great import happened To this great illustrious body, To this greatest of all classes. In the fall of nineteen hundred All these noble men and maidens, Came they back unto their classmates. To their kind and faithful classmates. Then they chose again a leader, Kate-e-barnes they chose as leader, Leader of the mighty Juniors, Until June of ninetccn-one. Then they went with their professor. To the bluffs of the Missouri, Seeking for the flower and buglets. With their nets they sought the buglets, With their nets they caught the froglcts Bagley much admired the froglets, Thought heâd like to be a froglet. Splash! he went into the water. Into green and slimy water. But the mud and water gathered, Was for weeks a place of huntingâ Was the home of the amoeba. Of the restless vorticella, TIjc Saqas of tlpe Seniors. Of the diatom and desmid. So the winged hours flew gaily. One bright morn the noble Seniors, Planned for yelling in the chapel. Planned to show this august body, What the strength of Seniorsâ voices. Up they rose hut âere they shouted. Came a thunder from behind them Which so startled and amazed them. That they turned and gazed about them. Gazed upon the roaring Juniors, Then sat down in great confusion. Once the Seniors planned a party. And from murnuirings and rumors That were heard upon the campus. Thought the Juniors would assail them, Try to rob them of their pleasure, Keep them from their Senior party. So they armed themselves with fire-arms. Clothed were they in tags and tatters. And to dampen the high spirits Of the wicked, plotting Juniors, Took they with them hose and water. Doomed were they to disappointment. For the Juniors went to Philo, Had the laugh upon the Seniors For they had no thought of mischief. Would not harm their friends, the Seniors. On the last day of October, As the shades of niglu were falling. Came there weird, unearthly figures. Figures from the far-off ghost land. Silently and swiftly gliding. The Sagas of the Seniors. Through the shadows to the hall-way. Glided up the winding stairway, Of this mighty hall of knowledge. Till they came unto the guest-room, Where was seen a ghostly figure. Calling forth the weirdest music. From the strings of a piano. Then in low, mysterious voices Held they converse with each other, Tried each one to guess anotherâ Guess each othersâ nomenclature. At the magic hour of midnight Two by two they glided homeward From this strange, unearthly revel. In the year of ninetecn-one. In the stormy February, Now the Juniors spread a banquet For their learned friends, the Seniors. Spread for them a sumptuous banquet. Such a banquet neâer was given At the Normal of Nebraska. When of the feast they had partaken And the peace pipe smoked in silence, Then were toasts proposed by Juniors; Answered by their guests, the Seniors. Myr-tcc-dewey, tall and stately. On behalf of all the Juniors, Spake unto their friends, the Seniors, Saying thus unto the Seniors;â âO, ye Seniors we adore ye! Whence your wisdom and your learning? Whence your talent great in teaching? Whence your love for little children? Whence your strength s« great in yelling.â' Whence vour skill so great with tire-arms?â A ltd your courage? Ami vour bravery.' Ami they answered. ()h, mv children! From the stars of the blue heavens. From our great and secret meetings. Front our drill in âArt of Study.â And we asked. Oh. mighty Seniors. Shall we ever have your greatness. Have your learning and your knowledge' And they answered. No, my children. Von have not those in your number Who with learning are so blinded That they know not man from maiden. Know not student from instructor. Then we gathered us together And we asked ourselves the question. Can we meet the mighty Seniors' Can we ask them to he humble? To he humble just as we are? Can we entertain them rightly?â And we sighed. We cannot do it. Then we counseled our instructor. One who knows as much as they do. And we looked so very humble That he stopped and listened to 11s. And he asked us what our standing. And we answered. Of the classes You will say the very humblest. We arc nothing more than Fourth A eais. Then he looked in anger at us. Kntcrtain the noble Seniors. Those who walk like gods among us.' Even I do fear their censure. Even I who know of all things. âBut we shall some day he Seniors. Shall we not he great as they are?â You he great, as great as they arc? â Then he saw our look of sorrow. Saw our sadness and our longing. Yon must sacrifice and suffer, You must dress in tattered garments. Mush and milk must he your diet, You must make a strenuous effort To write theses hy the dozen.â Then we thanked him for his kindness. Thanked him for his condescension. Then we wrote our invitations To the Seniors, to the great ones. Then in great suspense we waited. Waited for a sign of anger, Waited for a harsh refusal. But weâd pierced their hearts with arrows Pierced them through with silver arrows, Pierced them with the snow-white arrows Till they saw not simple Juniors, Saw not whom it was that asked them. âOh, ye great and mighty Seniors, There are those among your number Who have pierced the hearts of Juniors: Pierced the tender hearts of Juniors; Wounded them we fear forever. Oh. we pray thee treat them kindly. Thereâs a maiden in your number Who is famed for arrow shooting. All the Seniors hearts are bleeding. Tip; Sagas of the Seniors. And her quiver's not vet empty. Dark and stately is this maiden. Pities neither man nor woman, Shoots with careless hand the arrows. And we plead. Oh, migluy Seniors, Do not let her shoot at Juniors. Juniors young and tender-hearted, And we will adore forever All the Seniors, all the great ones.â So the banquet went on gaily Till the wee. sina' hours of morning:â And the classes ever after Had a warm and friendly feeling For each other, eâen in crises. In the early days of Springtime, When the young blood leaps more freely. Came a challenge up from Kansas, And another from Missouri, From the land across the river, Challenging our men and maidens To debate some burning question, Telling them to show their learning. Show their learning and their daring, Show their strength of voice and gesture. Then right nobly they responded. Mixed their paint, procured their feathers. Borrowed thunder from the heavens. And prepared to meet them boldly. Then they chose from out their number Six to represent the Normal, Six of those they thought the strongest. iqoi could boast her Seniors. Tlpe Scirfcis of tlpc Seniors. Two were chosen from the Seniors; Winton Buckley, small but plucky. Full of life and vim and sparkle; And the Seniorsâ stately leader, Hattie-jae-fink, born a leader. And the Trainers proudly point out Wilte-davis as their talker. These remained to show Missouri; Show her their state was a winner. To the station flocked the students. Flocked to see their foesâ arrival, Waving Hags and canes and streamers, Yelling all their yells, and singing. While the band played martial music. Flayed the soul-inspiring music Of âA Hot Time in the Old Town. Then they saw the engine coming. Saw the pulling, great steam engine, And the enemy left behind it. As it went its onward journey. Then they climbed the hill together, Taking slily each one's measure. Till one said he knew the feeling Of the elephant in the circus. In the great room called âthe chapel, Where are held all sorts of councils, There they met and long debated, While the audience waited breathless- Waited breathless till the judges Had decided for Nebraska. Then a mighty shout of triumph, From the great Hoor of the chapel. Rolled and echoed to the ceiling; Kchocd through the council chamber. But the Juniors were the proudest; For. to talk against the Kansans. Two were chosen from their number. And the third belonged among them. Off they went with shouts ami singing. Taking ââąDynamite in satchels. Charlce-buckley was the biggest Of the Bâs who went a-buz ing To the great school at Kmporin. Buckley, tall, blonde and impressive. But the Juniors boasted, also. Fiin-a-bengtson, small, but Ob. my! Strong he was in public speaking. For heâd practiced from his childhood. From his far-off, misty childhood. Jay-de-brady, the great soldier. He the warrior of Manila, lie the brother-in-law of the Juniors. He debated with the Kansans; Laid them low among the ashes; There to mourn oâer their presumption. But their turn was philosophic. For they took defeat in calmness, Gave a banquet to the victors; Found a girl for Ccc-vec-williams, One for âHildy, one for Porter. But our boys had grown impatient, Could not wait for Porterâs message, âPhoned to know the outcome of it. Talked to Kansas on the long wire. When they beard the news of victory. Such a cheer rose in the office That the man who runs the switchboard Fixed the 'phones in all the houses So they, too, could hear the uproar. Know that Kansas was defeated. Then our heroes hastened homeward, Came to hear our plaudits of them, Were received with shouts of welcome. Rode home in a llow'r decked carriage. And the great debate was over. Then the great, illustrious Seniors, To distinguish them from Juniors, 'l o look dignified, superior, Carried canes with ribbons on themâ Ribbons lavender and purple. Carried they these canes to âtheses Brandished they these canes at âtheses, Waved them gracefully and lightly. But the Juniors grave and studious, Thought they'd tantalize these Seniors, Take their canes so awe-inspiring, Take their dainty, graceful symbol. So they banded them together, In a secret corporation. Took the canes as they could get them, Took each cane and hid it safely. Sly and cunning were the Juniors, Called upon their friends, the Seniorsâ Seniors, innocent and trustingâ Asked them for a drink of water. When they kindly haste to get it. Then the Juniors, quick and crafty. Seize the canes to safely hide them, And conceal them in their clothing. The .Sagas of the Seniors. And the Seniors, all unconscious Of the plotting of the Juniors, Did not miss their stolen treasures. When at last it dawned upon them That their canes had disappeared. They were troubled lest the Juniors Should destroy their canes so graceful. Or should Haunt them in their faces. Wave their precious canes in chapel. So at all hours they assembled, 'I o discuss this weighty subject. But no clew could be discovered, Though they fumed and schemed and plotted, Though they racked their brains and studied. But the Juniors were most clever, For they knew the haughty Seniors Would be angry and indignant When they found they had no canelets; So the Juniors bore the treasures Through the woods and down the hillside. Where the brave, courageous Seniors Would not even think to venture. But the Seniors fell to scheming, How they might regain their treasures; And they thought our true class leader Would know where we had them hidden. So they planned to kidnap Katie While returning from a concert, Planned to kidnap her and hold her, Make her tell where they were hidden. But they were not sly and cunning, For the Juniors learned their secret. Learned and spoiled so great a secret; TI)e Sagas of the Seniors, For the Junior boys so gallant. Guarded home our Junior leader, And protected her from Seniors. In the night so dark and lonely, When the Seniors all were sleeping. Dreaming of their canes and Juniors; To that place then went the Juniors, Where the canes were safely hidden, Brought them back unto the Normal, Through the woods and up the hillsides. To the Wellingtonian hallway. 1 here they guarded them till morning, When they held a general council, Planning how to use their plunder. While they thus were calmly planning, Came an uproar from the hallwayâ Sounds of banging and of pounding. Soon the doors were all forced open, And the Seniors, mad and furious, Fell upon the peaceful Juniors, Juniors, always calm and peaceful; Tried to wrench the plunder from them. Tried to frighten the calm Juniors, Make them forfeit now these treasures. But the Juniors, always noble. Stood up bravely for their colors, And resisted they the Seniors, Still deprived them of their canelets. Now the Seniors at each moment, Grew more angry, grew more furious; Till the Juniors, ever thoughtful, Saw that any further using Of these canes would not be pleasant. Saw the Seniors did not reli.sh In the least, this joke upon them. So the Juniors gave the canelets. Gave them to the furious Seniors. To the great and anxious Seniors, To the little fiery Seniors. So the quarrel soon blew over. Left behind it no hard feeling; For the Juniors claimed the Seniors As their best friends at the Normal. When the summer days were over, In the long hot clays of autumn. At Peru again they gathered. Gathered to resume their studies. Here they plunged into their teaching. Into their model practice teaching; Taught the âyoung ideaâ boldly Mow to use his how and arrow; Learned of âdisciplineâ and âmethods. Daily plans and story-telling, âForceâ and âsympathyâ and red-tape. Then they studied Social Science. Social Science before breakfast; âBore in mindâ their current topics: Kept their note-hooks up in Shakespeare Dramatized a lengthy novel. Wrote opinions of great authors: Studied Mediaeval History, In the Library with note-hooks: âJudged of men and institutions. By their use in their own era.â In the fall, two of our Jewells, r Asked the Seniors to their wigwam. Each to represent the title Of some hook of common reading. Glad they were, and all invited Came, enjoyed it and departed, Wishing many other parties Would he given to the Seniors. Later on, the Misses Cowan, At a district school, made welcome All their classmates dressed as children. Happy, laughing, gay, school children. Mow they tried to read correctly Of the big black Ursa Major Which was bitten by a beetle, Of the âslim, sleek, slender saplings,â Which would always conic out âslappings.â What a relish had their dinner Eaten from their shiny tin pails; Till the Dormitory maidens Knew their time was full gone from them. That they must ask for admittance At the doorway of their mansion. So the Seniors journeyed onward. Once the Juniors stole their class song; Stole the song about the pennants; Thought they could not sing in chapel. Rut they made and learned a new one. Learned another song and sang it, r The Sagas of the While the great llag floated proudly. Then the Juniors learned one, also. Learned a song to sing in chapel; Thinking that they then were righted. Rut the Juniors and the Seniors Had no hard or hitter feelings, For upon the Fifth of April, All the Seniors came together. As the guests of all the Juniors, Spent the pleasantest of evenings. Toasted one another quickly. Lest they should be left in darkness. Many other things have happened, Many more are still to happen. Rut we cannot follow always, All the doings of these people; Somewhere there must he an ending. And as well he here as elsewhere.â Of tlie many other great things, Of the field-day and the class-day. Of Society open sessions, Of debates and war and tumult. Time and space forbid our mention. Though the history is not finished It must he cut offâleft hangingâ To he caught up somewhere later.

We did not hear the rustle of the snowy wings which bore her hence, nor feel the breath of Heaven as it fell upon her brow. We only knew that sorrow laid his hand upon our heads and crushed us âneath his heavy blow. We loved her. Ah, it was not strange, for her life was one of kindness. Like that other loved one, who left her class in âi)7, Clara Fergison was pure and sweet, pure even as the lilies white which open at the Easter time. The little children loved her and answered the mild, sweet smile, we too had learned to love so well. They listened to the low, kind voice and felt the tenderness and affection she had for them.

We, the class of 1903, in order to form a htore perfect union, establish education, promote the general culture and insure greater benevolence to all those students who excel in study, brilliant recitations, debates, and flights of oratory, as well as in socials, banquets, sleigh-rides, and oyster suppers, did meet and organ- ize. And, in order to secure to those about os and to our posterity the pleasure and inspiration derived from an unparalleled record of achievement, Wf5 do here collect and write, that all may read, the following constitution and history. Article I. We rejoice when we think of the class spirit which even in our Freshman year led us to organize, elect officers, and all other accompaniments befitting a dignified class. Article II. Section 1.âThe election of officers in our Sophomore year was certainly a master-stroke. Our officers consisted of Pres., Ruth Harris; Vice Pres., David Watkins; Secây., Blanche Roberts; and Treas., Clyde Hammond. Section 2.âWe distinguished ourselves at the very beginning of this year by giving our veil with more vigor and enthusiasm than any other class of the school. Even the Seniors kept a discreet silence when âBoom-aâlackaâ rent the air. Section 3.âIt was during this year, though in spite of the fact, that there were two classes above us, that we gave a banquet that any one might well have envied. Article III. Section 1.âAs Juniors of the Normal School, state of Nebraska, in class assembled, and looking back upon an unsurpassed record of attainments, and looking forward into a great field of duty and opportunity, we bave reorganized. Section 2.âThe executive power is hereby vested in a President, Miss Eva V. Allison. A smiling maiden, she appeared on the worldâs stage at Murray Neb., during the second act of April, numbered eighteen seventy-eight. She grew up in stature and began to impart some of her wisdom to others. Since coming to the Normal, she has been squeezing lifeâs sponge for all there is in it to find out if life is worth living. .She lias specialized in music and oratory; and it can he truly said that she is at the head of the class in action and in thought, in song and in stature. She coyly says that the date of her Lohengrin March has not been announced. Section 3.âThe office of Vice President is, by this assembly, vested in J. D. Brady, who on October 0, 1874, began to manifest, in Nebraska City, his abilities of push and vim. Sometimes, much to the an- noyance of his parents, he mastered (bossed?) everything around him at seven, and, like Washington, never had occasion to tell a lie. Mr. Brady caught the war fever in 1898 and fought in the 1st Nebraska Volunteer Infantry. In battle, like all other brave men, he was found where the bullets are thickest,âthat is in the ammunition wagon. lie has held the office of president in various associations and societies of our school, lie has specialized in oratory and distinguished himself us a debater, particularity on the team against Kansas in 1001 and Missouri in 1902. Section 4.âThe department of the Secretary of State is hereby vested in Miss Mayme Jackson. She first began practicing in the infant choir on the twenty-third day of January, 1883, at Anamosa, Iowa. She soon graduated from this and when she came to the Normal had been working for âmamma.â She is named Jackson after Andrew Jackson, because she is determined that truth and justice shall prevail. She is making a specialty of oratory and debating. Miss Jackson deigns no further information concerning herself ex- cept that she expects to he a lawyer, but whether foreign or domestic, constitutional or criminal, she does not say. Section 5.âThe department of Treasury is, by this clause, vested in Miss M. Edith Anderson. This precious diadem first cast its sparkling ray upon the cold earth, June 9, 1882. As Treasurer of the Junior class, she levies and collects taxes, pays debts and provides for the common defense and welfare of the class. Besides these positions, Miss Anderson is Editor-in-chief of the âEverett Elephant,â a strictly literary magazine. Her winning smiles and witty remarks have won her a home in the hearts of her classmates. Section 6.âThe department of a Sanitary Board is, by this section, vested in a ve 11-organized Basket Ball Team, who have distinguished themselves on every occasion as the champion players of the world. SECTION 7.âThe Juniors, as a class, assembled on the last school day of December of this school year, and celebrated the close of.our hard termâs work with festivities that would have done honor to a most worthy Roman hero. With all the dignity and worthy feelings of conquerors, we entered upon our triumphal march to this festival where we enjoyed such a banquet as never before had been witnessed by the State Normal School. The spoils of most of the termâs work were borne in the procession. Over twenty Professors were saluted and showed respect to our colors, as our columns marched up Normal Avenue and down Sixth Street. I'or our banners proclaimed we had conquered over 300 problems in Trigonometry; captured 00 to 70 in- vincible experiments in Physics; taken thousands of strongholds in the land of ancient languages, and also in Germany; subjugated over 3000 specimens in the Plant kingdom; killed and forever destroyed 3750 speci- mens in the Animal Empire, besides having caused 56 Seniors and many others to pass beneath our colors.

This class, numerically considered, is the smallest class in the school, but it is by far the brightest, for seven of the thirty-six members have hair like the gold of the setting sun and when the yearâs exams, are over and the grades recorded we all shine. At our first meeting, Miss Ellis was chosen to be our guiding star and the officers elected at that time are not only from the best of the class but also of the school. Our president, Mr. Murphy, is from the Emerald Isle, yet no one would be so reckless as to call him green. Latin is his favorite study and so emulous is he of Caesar that although he may never reach the Rhine no doubt he will âpropose to Bridge it.â Our Murphy is an all-round man, for besides duties âsupra demon- stravimusâ he was during the fall term President of Everett Society, and did fine work on the Elephant the entire year, as well as managing the football team during the season. Miss Breni .er, our Vice President, is another officer of whom we have reason to be proud. She is an active worker in the Y. W. C. A. and a member of the Y. P. S. C. E. Miss Jacobson was Secretary at the beginning of the year, but during the fall term returned home on account of sickness and Miss Hurst was elected to fill the vacancy. Treasurer Mitchell is one of the brightest of the class. During the winter term lie was President of Philo. Society and the Third Years arc proud of him. Nearly all the Third Years are members of the Y. M. or Y. W. C. A., the young peopleâs societies of the churches or both, where they take an active part. We boast, too, of our musical talent, having some fine singers and several pianists, anil being well represented in the band. We have a Third Year music class and at a recent recital, although no visitors were invited, the room was filled, showing how popular it is. This chorus sang also at Thesis. Along with music should be mentioned essays. Tliis class furnished literary contributions to the Elephant. Third Years are leaders in athletics. Both Captain Hurst and Manager Murphy of the foot ball team are third years. Hurst, football fiend and star of the Normal gridiron, is now leading a strenuous life in a school house of Douglas Co., hut Murphy is still here and will he with us for at least another year. Although there is no distinctive Third Year basket ball team, we have a number of players, and Misses McCuneand Stone- cypher captain the leading teams. Mr. Howe who is an illustrious star on the gridiron is to be numbered among the immortal thirty-six of â04. We understand he is to enter the University of Nebraska the com- ing fall and we predict a brilliant future for him both in class work and in the football world. Messrs. Lud- den, Flynn, Dyke and Blankenship take part in other athletics of no less renown than football, as they are numbered among our best baseball players. Other members not here mentioned are among the leaders in whatever they undertake. This class had seven representatives in the preliminary debates and J. Gilbert was chosen to represent the school in debate against Kansas. A class with this clear record has nothing to fear in the future, and as Junior and Senior class will continue to be heard: âHulla balloom, hallo, bailee, Third Years, Third Years, donât you see! Hulla balloom, bailee, balloar, Weâre the class of Nineteen-Four!â â â c LA SS O I- NI N RT lÂŁ K -1 âą IV K. â L (Elnss of -Ninctecn-Fiuc Adviser Prof. Wiiitenack. President, E. J. Lamu.

When, after reading pages whose every line reflects the genius and literary ability of erudite Seniors, pragmatic Juniors, and precocious Third Years, you chance to weary of the glitter and fancy and are led to think with the wise man of old: âall is vanity,â jâou turn to another page and behold the class of 1905 âa class which is the embodiment of courage, resolution and athletic skillâa class, which though young in years has the ever promising and hopeful future before it. While we do not appear above the surface with the polish and lustre of the classes above us, we arc reconciled when we recall the words of our nationâs late guest, âAll is not gold that blinks.â Though as yet we may not have passed that age of natural simplicity and youthful frivolity, which, our dignified superiors indulgently say, characterize youth, we are not unaware of the golden opportunities which lie about us. In the annual preliminary debates we were ably represented by five of our most promising young men. What may not our persistent efforts bring forth in the future? If those prophetic sages, who are found among our upper classmen, could but lift the veil of futurity and ga .e into the dim beyond, three years hence, we doubt not but they would see a class of such brilliant attainments that the vision would dazzle their eyes and they would gladly extinguish the sight with some of that unused âblotting paper.â Many of the fair maidens of the higher classes, fully realizing the promising ability of our young men, have condescended to loiter with them along the path of railroad-track bliss, and in many ways have shown their appreciation of the âsouvenirs.â In the class of 1905 are to be found young men and women who will make just such citizens as the community and state need, who desire to so live that it may not he said of them, âthey live on the reputation of the reputation they might have made,âami who will assist the govern- ment in its advancement toward that ideal slate of which we all dream, hut do not expert to see realized in our time. âThus drifting afar to the dim, vaulted eaves Where life and its ventures are laid, The classes who gaze while wo battle the waves May see us in sunshine or shade; Yet true to our course, though our shadow grow dark. Weâll trim our hroad sail as before, And stand by the leader who governs our hark, Nor ask how we look from the shore.â Class of 2vinctcEHâSix COfficrrs. li.MA Ki.nnki -, President. PaUI.

It is a bright May morning and Mother Nature seems to be fairly bubbling over with happiness and sunshine. Her songsters seem to almost hurst their little throats with their melodies. The knarled old oaks and the spreading elms seem to whisper a secret of spring as you pass, and the little flowers noil a happy good morning to you from the roadside. Such a morning it is as I start for my visit to the large red brick building on the hill. As I stroll along I am passed many times by hurrying footsteps and bright cheery faces, some crowned with silver locks and some with brown. My reverie is suddenly interrupted by the merry shouts of children's voices, and my hand is clasped by the little soft hands of some of my small friends I have seen before. I now begin to wonder what part my little friends can have in this busy crowd of people, and with a few questions and a little maneuvering I am invited to go and find out for myself. After a few minutes happy chat we find ourselves at the open door of the great schoolhouse, for such the great red brick building on the hill proves to be. Through the large main door streams the long line of older students, but my little guides inform me that they have a special door, so I am conducted to an- other entrance and ushered into a nice large room in which I am told we are to hang our hats. We now enter a large bright room, where the walls are made beautiful with pictures from our great artists. Although we have heard that the little sunbeams do not run around, we almost doubt this when we see the bright joyous faces before us, and the merry children running here and there. These are mothersâ sunbeams come to play in Froebelâs Child Garden, or in native tongue the Kinder- garten. And what are they doing? Some are on a see-saw, shouting with laughter as one or the other goes up, others are playing bean bag or hlindman's huff, while over in one corner is a happy (lock of little miniature ladies briskly playing house, and how happy they are with the pretty hlue-eved dolly which belongs to them all, and how nicely one gives it to the other, and thus through common ownership learn a little lesson of unselfishness. One of the tcael crs now steps forward and asks me if I should like to see the Kindergarten room. Over in one of the nice large windows is the aquarium which the little children take entire charge of and in the same window is the bright yellow canary which another set of children take care of, and all of the win- dows are filled with boxes of flowers, making the room gay with their many colored blossoms. And what a store of wealth is hidden away in the large closet at the end of the room, scissors, bright colored papers, paste, sticks, straws, beads and gay colored worsted halls, in fact everything which makes childhood happy. Next I am taken to see their garden, three nice long beds, one for each table, and just peeping above the ground are the onions, radishes and other things planted so carefully by the willing little hands. As we again reach the Kindergarten room a teacher goes to the piano and with a few soft chords all the playthings disappear as if by magic and each little chair that was empty is now occupied and every little hand folded, waiting for what may come next. Soon a heavy chord is given and each one stands until a march is played, when all take their chairs and march to the large circle which is painted on the floor in the center of room. First of all,good mornings are sung to each other, then the little ones choose other songs they like to sing, all of which tell them pretty stories about the flowers, birds, bees, squirrels and other little creatures of nature they love. Then the teacher has a nice talk with them about something connected with the season; this morning it happened to he the birds. The little ones tell her all they can, and then by questions and hints from her they learn many more things, how they fly, how, when and where they build, how they love and care for the little ones, how they love each other and do little kind acts. Even though these little creatures cannot talk, how many lessons of love and kindness our little ones can learn from them! Listen, the teacher is telling a pretty story and the little hands and feet are very still and all ears listening and all faces expectant. The story ended, they again take their chairs and return to their tables. Then they have a lively march, resting the tired little limbs from their long period.of sitting still. After the march comes a short period of busy work at the tables and certainly they are busy, each group doing work in accordance with their size and capability; some are cutting out gay colored birds and mounting them, some are painting blue-birds and still others are building tine bird houses with blocks. Now comes game time, all go to the circle again hut without chairs this time, and what a jolly time they do have, skipping, playing they are birds, building nests, drop the handkerchief and many other little games which are dear to childish hearts and which they select with great eagerness. Now comes another busy period when they all have another kind of work; this time some are weaving to find out how the little weaver bird makes his nest, some go to the woods to see and observe the birds and their nests, while others are at the sand table making nests with brushwood to represent the home of the meadow lark and the prairie chicken and other little birds who build on the ground. After this period is over it is time for the little people to go home, so their hats are brought to them and they again march to their circle where a good-by song is sung and all start for home, happy and gay, calling back to the teacher âI am coming back to Kindergarten tomorrow,â surely showing they love their play work. And who of us older ones could choose a sweeter or better life work than the guiding of these little ones in their unconscious play? Edith L.

The little Chinese girl, whom they decided to educate, and for whom they subscribed the first, thirty Hope formal. dollars for her yearâs expense in a Christian school, is being provided for by the students and members of the faculty as each year goes by, and is known as our Hope Normal by all members of the school since that time. While (ho leading powers of Europe have been contemplating the destruction and the division of the oldest nation in existence, our Normal School of Nebraska has been a constructive factor. It has tended to im- prove the condition of the Chinese people by enabling the slavesâtheir womenâto become free through Christian education. We are proud of our interests in this pagan nation. The readers of this book may enjoy reading the following extract from one of Dr. Bennâs last letters: Tientsin, China, Nov. 27, 1901. Dear Members of the Peru Normal School:â It has been so long since you have heard anything from me in regard to your little girl, Hope Normal, that you probably have concluded that the Boxers got us both and so that finishes your interests out here. Perish the thought! Hope Normal has grown two inches taller and much prettier. At this minute she is peacefully slumbering with the rest of our one hundred and sixty girls, over in the Sarah L. Keen School. The Boxers neither harmed her nor myself, although there was a month last summer when we did not know what the outcome would be. Our school building was pierced by four shells in different parts of the walls, but the holes have all been patched and the school goes on as if nothing ever happened here. Hope Normal was at her home in the country last year and our whole placeâhouse, school, womanâs school and hospitalâwas made into a U. S. hospital. It made a fine one. We are very glad, however, that the army is gone and that we are back in our place and hospital. We are glad that the school is in running order again. The school was not in session when the shell went into the building and no one was hurt. Our school had been dismissed for the summer and the girls had gone to their homes before the fighting began. The Peking school, however, was not disbanded and over a hundred school girls went through the siege with fhpc 'Xonnnl. the miasienarit .

A. is an organization of young men who have for their aim not only the study of the Bible but also the furthering of Christâs work. The character of its work may be seen in its readiness to lend a helping hand, and in its endeavor to identify young men with Christian work. With such aims, it has stood, and stands today, unrivaled by other organizations. The members of the association cordially extend the hand of fellowship to the new student, inviting him to attend their meetings. At the same time, The Studentâs Hand Book, a convenient and instructive di- rectory, published by the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., is placed in his hands. A more thorough, pleasing and lasting acquaintance with the association and its members, as well as wentire student body, may be had through the annual reception of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. V. C. A. f°r all students of the school, held during the opening week of school. The heartv handshake with the new student or the closer fellowship with the old workers, gives to each a personal interest in the association. Amid the strivings for physical and intellectual strength, spiritual development is not forgotten. Student life is fraught with temptations and one of the strongest is neglect of spiritual life. The noon- 'fa.V prayer meeting grew out of a desire for more frequent devotional meetings. These meetings are for the most part held jointly by the two associations every school day at the close of the forenoon session. These meetings are well attended. The student recognizes the fact that true manhood cannot be attained by the systematic development of the intellectual nature alone. The study of that book of all books, which shows the path to all true living, has been made easier and more profitable by the organization of Bible classes, which have been conductedâ in the past few years by TO. L Jt. members of the faculty or by able members of the school. These classes have taken- up the study of the âLife of Christâ by Sharman and the âApostolic Churchâ by Blakeslee, and have found their efforts re- warded by a fuller knowledge of the Bible and a higher spiritual life. The annual banquet given by the V. M. C. A. to all the young men of the school is a pleasing and inter- esting feature of our organization work, and aims at the further welcome of students to become working members of our band. Besides the noonday prayer meeting and the Bible classes, the association holds its regular devotional meetings every Sunday afternoon, with the exception that the , two associations unite one Sunday each month in holding a missionary meeting, or to listen to some prominent Christian worker. The Y. M. C. A. gives opportunity for intelligent Christian work among students and is in close touch with the inter-collegiate movement of sending delegates to the summer conference at Lake Geneva. r . TO.

Timing âTUmunn's (Eljristmn ssorintimu It. is a great credit to the Nebraska State Normal School that it has an organization within its student body with so large a membership, the object, of which is the helping of young women. The Young Womanâs Christian Association is the largest and most representative student organization in the Normal and is com- posed of the young women from all classes and departments. No work done by the association deserves more commendation than that done for new students at the beginning of the year. The working force is centralized at that time and every effort possible is made to get a hold upon the young women at this critical period in their lives. Trains are met and the young women are assisted in finding hoarding places and in every way possible to make them feel at home. The Young Womanâs Christian Association stands distinctly as a religious organization and it is to this end that all the departments bend. It is religious but practical. Each Sunday at â2:30 p. m. is held a gospel service and young women are urged to unite with the churches and take a definite stand for Christ. Joint prayer meetings of the Young Womanâs and Young Menâs Christian Associations are held each school day except on Wednesday when separate meetings are held. Early in the year Bible classes are organized when students form the habit of daily devotional study and gain a knowledge of the Bible. Missionary meetings are held one Sunday in every month at which time topics on home and foreign missions are studied. Practical missionary work is done in aiding the support and education of a little girl in China. A neat handbook is published by the Young Menâs and Young Womanâs Christian Associations and is ready for distribution at the beginning of each year. This is a bundle of information and greatly in de- mand by all students. Socials are held regularly when the girls are brought together and become better acquainted and more interested in one anotherâs lives. The association is becoming more and more a factor for good and is reaching a greater number of the students each year. (Officers. Fall Term. President, Mabel L. Bridges. Vice President, S. E.

The very spirit of the society is evinced in its inline, Philomathean. By analysis we find that it is de- rived from two Greek words signifying âLove of Learning.â This organization supplies that which cannot bo had in the school proper for perfect developmentâdevelopment in its broadest sense. Believing as we do in the necessity of simultaneous growth of all the faculties, liberal provision is made for all. The dramatic is developed by the occasional rendition of dialogues, comedies and pantomimes. Music, vocal and instru- mental, art programs and tableaux contribute to the aesthetic nature, while prose recitations, inter- esting narratives and familiar poems constitute a pleasing feature of the literary program. The de- mands of the social life are adequately met in the occasional social, which lends variety to the regular pro- gram and gives enjoyment as well as culture. Philo Ilall is a spacious room on third floor, well furnished and lighted by the electric plant. From no other room in the building is it possible to obtain so beautiful a view.

Our football team as lined up was very strong and did some excellent work for the Normal the past season. Games were played with the following schools: Lincoln High School, Auburn High School, Nebraska City High School, Hamburg High School, Hamburg, Iowa, Falls City High School, Weeping Water Academy, Peru. The total scoring for and against our team for the past season was t 7 to 1( . Of the number of games played by our team they were victorious in five. The prevailing fad among the ladies during the fall was basketball, and several spirited games were played between the organized teams of the school. Teams were organized from the two higher classes of the school, the Seniors being represented by two teams and the Juniors by one. During the spring term much attention was given to tennis as in former years, but this year the old ground was unable to accommodate the demand and a new court has been equipped. Also, baseball has re- ceived much attention. Several spirited games were played by the various classes and much class and college spirit was shown. A team lias been organized to represent the school this season and several games have been scheduled with other schools. Considerable preparation is being made for a field day contest, which will take place the last, week of the term. Cyrus V. Williams. Fnntlmll Tram, 1301. M. M. Murphy, Manager, G. N.

The accompanying cut shows a few of the young ladies who took part in the operetta, Panathenaea, given during the fall term under the direction of Miss Perl Minnick, instructor in music, and Miss Ocean Daily, instructor in expression and physical culture. Fifty young ladies, most beautifully costumed, entertained the largo audience for two hours with songs, recitations and drills which were pronounced by all present to be the best ever given in the Normal Chapel. The poses and drills were given by members of the physical culture classes. The grace and ease of the young ladies in these difficult movements were strong proof to the fact that physical culture is doing much for the students of the N. S. N. S. During the past few years great interest has been shown in this line of work and such excellent results have been obtained that at present physical culture is compulsory in the model school and has a place in the curriculum. Finally, realizing bow much can be done for the individual by means of this work, and how essential it is that every teacher should be thoroughly prepared to instruct the children along this line, physical culture has been made a part of the Normal curriculum, and much improvement is expected in the appearance and vigor of the teachers who go out from the Nor- mal to serve the state in the public schools. We cannot commend too strongly this movement toward making the body the proper dwelling place and fit instrument for the expression of the soul. State Normal Afire WITH USTIH DR.

SK-NloRs No longer the fire gives forth heat from the grate. No lights are now seen, and the hour is quite late. A Senior, oppressed by his great daily care, Sat pondering oâer questions and problems so rare, When, quick as a thought, there comes a sharp rap Which the student well knows is Virgilâs firm tap. He leads the way straight to the old Senior room Where the worn-out Seniors have oft met their doom. The studentâs amazed, at this late hour of night, To behold the vision which now greets his sight. Within these four walls is a countless band Which fills each space to sit or to stand. They shake their heads and mutter so low And with clenched fists they surge to and fro. The noise increases and all signs show there That a tumult is raging all round in the air. Virgil arises, and a stillness doth fall. âTis plain to each one that he rules over all. He quickly announces to those whoâre intent That he intends each to his will shall be bent. This meeting is called, I am quite proud to mention. To declare thal 7 have the fullest attention; And all the time those seniors can give While in this Normal Iâm permitted to live.â kcui'tic But quich as a Hash Shakespeare springs to his feet. And with scorching words these people did greet. I think Iâll impress this upon one and all. That each of these Seniors must come to my call. They shall always put down with pen and ink The very best thought they are able to think. They shall spend hours for me else Iâll murder their sleep And bury their souls in perdition deep.â Slowly arising, with a dignified air. Social Science demands for her part, a full share, âFriends, bear this in mind, our nation will fall Unless Seniors, âfive,â respond to roll call. A few hours of time 1 shall ask to be spent On note books and outlines and current events. A theme, now and then, with a written review Is all Iâll require these Seniors to do. A sepulchral voice threw oâer all a gloom, As with engine-like force it filled the whole room. Behold! Middle Ages addresses the band. âBecause Iâm part âDarkâ does not give any stand For my being slighted. Indeed! I II not be. I ll just give these Seniors a small taste of me. They shall write for me daily in note books galore And have thirty topics and maybe some more. âI can sec in the future my posterityâs acts And from U. S. History theyâll get some facts, All! good tor those Seniors (theyâll take but few naps) But must spend hours and hours painting bright colored maps, And learning those treaties and negotiatorâs name Or somebodyâs else of perchance greater fame.â Now German, Didactics, and Chaucer with cheer Declared theyâd be lenient and not interfere. But back in the corner, in the midst of the fray, Astronomy stands in his firm quiet way. Then quickly the noise dies away on the air, And in voice low and gentle is heard to declare, âThree hours of the day and four of the night. I feel I can honestly claim as my right, Let me say this again else you'll fail to see That each of you here to this should agreeâ â lire he had completed the words he would say, Four Plans arose, each in a different way, And bowing as gracefully, with such assured mien, Remarked, all at once, âYou are not very keen If you fail to see that our scepter will sway And rule oâer those Seniors âtil the very last day. A plan for each day and each week in the year Must be in on time and not, âquite near.â âThe âpurposeâ must be there if for it they grow wild, Besides, an opinion they must write of each child. They shall write up the teachers whom they have observed, And further, if their fate they would have preserved, They must ever be ready to respond to our call When we wish them to know what we think of them all. As with satisfied air they sank hack in their places, A look of despair came to all other faces. Afar in the distance there comes a sweet strain, Wafted nearer and nearer, these words in refrain:â âThough our labors-be hard and few pleasures we trow. Yet many the laurels weâll win for each brow. Each task shall he conquered from day unto day And the pale blue and white shall be honored alway By the triumphant spirit of Seniors so true. And the black and the gold of the year 1902.â As the words die away on the still midnight air, The Senior starts up from his uncushioned chair; And the vision portraying what Seniors must do. Fades away like a cloud, in its canvas of blue. He begins to reflect and his mind grows more clear. âThoâ great are our trials we ll be of good cheer. The days of our labors arc but two seventy-five, But if âtwere two seventy-sixâWell I guess weâd survive.â I. C. âEvidently,â âwe must keep that in mind,â âof course,â âas a matter of fact,â that âplans paticlilyâ must be made by the Seniors âby any manner of means,â âI suspect,â and âthere is no doubt about it,â âI dare say,â so âblessed be drudgery.â LESSON PLAN Name - Su bject - Lesson Topi c â Purpose - Outline of Milter Date,- Grade - y '7 ' tej. fv i iSs sbiau â C r 111 c i s m - 7 itnjy i Lrrv | UA- ii - uLhlak rurL a lu ia ( cU - u.JyJL Uv dvuf- Wo uAJb fcJLt, Wdiw 0 UruLvuj.

The 3eilb Fifteen. Down at the old State Normal, in the years of oj and o1 Had gathered a crowd of fun-loving girls that made the walls hum. Not once in their whole history, had those walls ever see 1 Such a complex, complicated gang, as this, the Jolly I if teen. Never a prank they didnât try, nor a trick they didn t dare. Many a Prof, will remember the year, he got his first grn. hair. They were witty and funny and saucy, apt and stupid and vVlse Eyes that were black and gray and green and blue as summer skies. Noses of every conceivable kind, from Roman to rctroussw And every nose an owner, who was blithe and winsome a.iid gay. Up with the early daylight, the hardest tasks they begun , Begging for lamps till midnight to finish what was undone Applying all the science, ever found in catalogue, Stuffing a helpless pigeon, or dissecting a puppy dog, Writing a History of Life, and how all things begun, Making Life meanwhile entrancing, with a constant mixture of fun. Today, they were Imps of Darkness, making us dread the night, Tomorrowâs sun sees them divine, our darling Angels of Light, Today, they drive us mad, we wish they all would go: Tomorrow, how can we part, because we love them so. Bending all night beside a weary suffererâs bed, Cooling with tireless hand, the fevered, throbbing head. Tomorrow, full of mischief, and fresh as the dewy morn. Before night making some victims wish, they never had I een born. Angel, Imp or Seraphim, Fairy, Gypsy, Witch, Who II label the âJolly Fifteen,â and tell us which is which. BLANCHE. There s otic with the face of a cherub, who plays and sings divine, ho looks upon life as all June days, and herâs the summer time. She must have time to dream, for only dreamers sing, And Lifeâs sweet melodies ever in the ears of dreamers sing. BRIDGIE. When discord enters the ranks, and the waves of trouble roll, There stands the Angel of Peace, to quiet each turbulent soul. EDITH. Sometimes stray lovers appear, stealing peace from the âJolly Fifteen,M And terrible things, like jealousy, appear upon the scene, Promptly appears the one, who smooths love quarrels away, A smile, a word they disappear, and peace resumes her sway. LEONE, When tasks arc hard, and days arc drear, and homes so far away, What charm lies in the happy heart, who cheers with wit the day; Who sings a song or tells a talc, so full of wit, so jolly, We love her so. the sprite, who charms away our melancholy. HATTIE. Recall the one, who breaks all hearts, who wears a mascot button, Who doesn't care for bonbons, but dearly loves good mutton. FLOY. And that darling, who goes round and round, to see what she can do, Tire Mb Fifteen. To wipe a tear or bring a smile; so helpful, strong and true. BESS. And there was one with cheeks so pink and hair of golden- brown With always a smile and cheery word and never scowl nor frown. VERA. Another one had visions, and marched round in l cr sleep And sang a love song, that would make a wooden image weep. MAD ELI EN E. What of the one who pushed the fun, and made it fly the faster. Who laughed and squealed and cared not for demerits nor disaster? DELIA. Do not forget the dear one, with lovely shining c cs. To whom in trouble, we all turned for helpful, sound advice. NINA. Nor one whose beauty all adore, to whom men bow and sue. Whoâll go down in class history as the âQueen of 1902.â HELEN HITTE. Weâve one to whom the muses come and whisper words of charm; Her melodics entrancing make the heart beat fast and warm. HELEN STOLLA. ELLA. Then there is one so steadfast, and one who sets a pace That if youâd only follow, youâd be very full of grace. EVA. One more, the quiet gentle one, whose ways arc soft and winning, Who does the right thing and the best, while others do the sinning. With this hand of dclcctables. what could not be achieved And what theyâd undertake and do, it would not be believed. They had spreads at all unearthly hours, sometimes, queer bills of fare, A possum roast, with olives, or a tart, a Belgian hare. No matter what vexations, no matter what the weather, Always jolly, always gay, this âFifteenââ altogether. Getting up a program that would make your senses thrill, Singing, dancing, studying always with a will. Taking all the brunt of all pranks done unseen, Hearing everybody say. âThatâs that smart Fifteen.ââ Studying so hard, leaving naught undone. Trying to make a record and have more time for fun. Sandwiching the daily drill with so much fun between. Blessings on your merry hearts, âJolly Dear Fifteen.â Time is passing swiftly, days add weeks and years. Soon or late. Life brings to us fewer smiles than tears. Not an hour we grudge you when your tasks are done. Filled with smiles and frolics, merry pranks and fun. You will better workers be, that you like to laugh, You will not neglect to glean, thoâ you scatter chaff. Revel in the sunshine, youth is yours to day, Stroke the beard of Father Time; cheat him well you may. Spring is on the campus, flowers are all abloom, Birds and young hearts singing, all a merry tune; Tread the grass so lightly, revel in the scene. Skies shine brightly on you, âJolly Gay Fifteen.â Some day they will darken, springtime will not last. These days will be memories, loved days of the past: Let them be so beauteous, they will brightly gleam Like stars throâ all your future, âJolly Gay Fifteen.â Madelienk A. Packard, Class of â03. Hit. Her non Hall. Scenes from TO. TO H. A group of girls standing at the doors with anxious faces; suddenly a man appears carrying a small blue sack; as he draws near many are the expressions heard. Soon he is at the door. âOh, Mr. Brady, do you suppose thereâs a letter for me?â âDid my package come?â âWell, this is my day for a letter from âhim.â â Then when the mail lias been distributed,ââOh, girls! Three letters!â âWell, I just know the folks donât even think of me at homeââand thus they run. Hurry and confusion everywhere; furniture in the halls; carpets, pillows, rugs, skirts, and everything imaginable on the lines in the yard; girls hurrying around, laughing, talking, singing, whistling, every one good-natured and gay,âfor itâs Saturdayâsweeping day. âOh, Bessie! Iâve the BEST tradelast for you!â âWhere DID you get it?â âOh, I promised I wouldnât tell, but you just hustle around and get me one, then youâll hear; but say, donât you give me one on my hair, for that wonât go.â âMadge has a box from home, girls. That means a spread tonight.â And then the anticipation; for there is nothing hailed with more delight than the idea of a âspread.â All sorts of eatables are to be had, and if our mothers could only know of the indigestible things we eat before going to bed they would prophesy indigestion forever, yet we still live and do the same thing over again.

Below the window Iâll convey myself, To hear the process; Iâll warrant thereâs something up; And, as I said, and wisely was it said, âTis meet that unseen audience from the Juniors, Since conceit makes them holder, should oâerbear The plans of vantage. Fare you well, mv friend; Iâll need the old ear trumpet .that you bring To learn what I would know. They soon will speak. Could I but look at them; See what the meaning is on all their faces, And through these glasses green, just to behold How they behave. Iâll silence me even here. Ah! Pennants do they say? What, ho! help, help, help! I have been seen! TJpe Senior SIrigJf-rtxb 'Twas the eve of the glad vacation, nearing the Christmas tide, And over the country far and wide The sleigh bells were jingling loud and clear, Singing the praises of winterâs cheer. In the halls of the Normal old, high on the lofty hill. As the moon was shedding her silver light on the snow so cold and still. There came the sound of laughter from a gay and happy throng. Many a jest and joke with a snatch of the college song. The jolly crowd were Seniors out for a lark that night, Waiting the coming of sleighs and teams under the moon so bright. But the waiting was long and the time went by While the hour grew later, with many a sigh. Then there crept a vague suspicion into the boldest heart: Had the ever watchful Juniors in this matter played a part? What if now those naughty Fourth Years who so dearly love to tease Were riding 'neath the moonlight, in our sleigh at perfect ease? The thought was one of torture, you may well believe, For with many a trick theyâd tried the Seniors to deceive. Oh. you bad fun-loving Juniors! how our hearts grow sad When we think of every naughty prank and deed so bad! But at last there came the tinkle of each tiny ringing bell And we clambered in like children, all pell-mell. Away we dashed so gaily, free from every care. Juniors, lessons, plans forgotten, in the bracing, frosty air. Oh, the crowd was glad and noisy, with no thought the fun to mar; Jolly, happy and light hearted as free Seniors always arc. And our own beloved classmate, speak her name so soft and low. Spent this last night, oh, so gaily with her classmates here below. How the old hills rang and echoed to the call upon that niglu. To the pennant song the Juniors âswiped,â to the pale blue and the white. How for almost miles about the village of Peru Was heard the glorious yelling of the class of 1902. Oh. thereâs something in the moonlightâall know it very wellâ Which makes big folks act like children âneath its silver fairy spell. Even Seniors are but human though they seem so very wise For the antics of this sleigh-ride were a source of great surprise. Pray forgive the happy gallants of the class of rgoa, For some stayed at certain gateways when the sleigh-ride was all through, But the bright moon told no stories thoâ his face was full of glee, He was thinking of sortie pointers for the class of 1903.

Watermelons, sandwiches and cake Of which Mr. Bengston did partake, Angel food and kisses too; Munday said, 4Iâll take a few. Deviled eggs and apples ripe Which all the boys did try to swipe, Plenty of candy, brown and red With which the girls were freely fed. Dinner over, the table cleared, âTwas then the company disappeared, Down they went to the fishing pond Where every one with bait was found. This bait they used to catch the fish While those at home did naught but wish O that I could be along, And sing with them their little song. And help them catch their little fish This was all that they could wish. Fishes old and fishes young. Bit so fast they didnât catch one. O yes, they did, they caught a few. With them they knew not what to do, So back to the pasture then they went Where the dinner hour had been merrily spent. Here they engaged in happy games All of which was a joy to James, Drop the handkerchief they played that day; Many a time they caught Mr. Ray. Buckley and Williams, their only lot Seemed to be in the big mush pot, Looking in vain for some one to rob, While around the ring the others did bob. As then the shadows began to fall They thought it time for one and all To take their basket, bucket and hat And hurry home and all of that. And when the lake they left behind They knew not what they were to find. Little thinking through their harmless fun Any trouble at all could be done. But when in the mail they chanced to look Each one found a little fish hook. On this hook there was a bow, What this meantâwell they didnât know. Famous Authors The class of 1902 will ever he remembered for their numerous and meritorious contributions to the literary world in the form of text books which are universally used in the up-to-date schools and colleges of today. The early training and inspiration received from Miss Ellis has resulted in the publication of Barnesâ Histories and Geographies, Abbottâs Histories. The Old South Leaflets, Schmidtâs Histories of Greece and Rome and Hendersonâs Selected Documents. Only one mathematician has turned his attention in this direction, but Rayâs Arithmetic and Algebra do ample justice to their author. The class boasts also one ef?ypt-alogist, Wilkinsonâs Materia Hieroglyphiea being an acknowledged authority. Musical talent is well represented by Cowanâs âRose Maidenâ cantata, the Jewell song in Faust, and several hymns by Bridges. In the scientific line are Buckleyâs Fairy Land of Science, Williamâs Chemistry and Rayâs Astronomy and we all use the Bell telephone, though there is no Bell Text book at present. The Normal, of course, must produce some educational works, foremost among them, Jamesâ Psychology and Williamsâ History of Education. Searsâ Political Growth is our one representative in the realm of political science while Nelsonsâ Fasts and Festivals is one of the earlier religious works. In the line of romance, however, much one may doubt it, any one can find in the encyclopedia of auth- ors, that Munday is a translator of romances and a maker of ballads, and Tynon the auther of âLyrics and Ballads:â Oh! what a plague is love!â The decision in the Sampson-Schley case should give the name of Dewey prominence forever, even if the Manila Bay incident did not. And of course everyone has read Miss Wilkinsâ sketches, novels and short stories. r I IIIS page is dedicated to Professor S. L. Caldwell, who has always been willing and eager to assist in the work on the âAnnual.â He has contrib- uted to the art portion of the book, not only by personal work, but by di- recting the work of individual artists of the student body. To him is ex- tended the sincere thanks of the Golden-rod Board. TO all who have so earnestly and faithfully lent their en- deavors toward furthering the work of the âAnnual,â and by personal labors have contributed to its interest. The Golden rod Board desires to express their gratitude. Go, Golden rod, on your way, Bearing sunshine and gladness to all; Refreshing the memory of each In whose hands you may chance to fall. Bid each, as he scans the page, Not to view with a critical eve All the faults he may find as he reads, But suppress eâen a fault-finding sigh. The Goldenrod Board has toiled hard To make you at least of some worth. Though successors may on you improve, It was Nineteen-two gave you birth. With the heartiest words of cheer, And trusting success attends you, The Board and the Senior Class Now bid you a fond adieu. â
