Class of func 1923 t KATHRYN ELLEANOR HARRIS 4 She look.s like an angel, but oh, looks deceive,- Some things about her, you just couldn't belieteg She's so sweet and so charming, and most decidedly fair, A girl like our Kitty is certainly rare. r , . . MARY REINEKE Nor bold nor shy, nor short nor tall, But a nice mingling of them all. Mary is truly a story book character which portrays youth. Her personality seems to have Won the hearts of the pupils and her classmates. 937 Hazel Avenue Kitty l I I 1 MAUDE ELIZABETH MINISTER 5944 North 13th Street 'Maudie', 'We may lite without poetry, music and art, Wle may Zire without conscience, and lifve without heart.

WW: 66THE GYMN,, VVhen the classic Greeks established the first gymnasium their ardour might have been increased could they have foreseen its great development in future years. But we feel certain that there is no place in the modern world that can boast of a better gym than our own, with its indoor and outdoor training, not to mention the charming social events that take place there after uoffice hours. If there had been nothing else but the circus on Decem- ber 9, 1922, our gym would be justified in considering itself one of the social centers of the city. Barnum may have been right in some things, but he certainly overlooked a greatdeal when he neglected to come to the Normal School for talent. VVe can appreciate the feelings of the snake when Amy Smally began her charming process. You know how ,tis-perhaps youive been charmed yourself! Then we had our incomparable Vin', riding bare- back on a fiery steed-AND on one dancer who makes the Follies look like a vaudeville show-Ruth VValrath. Great as the talent of which we boast may be, we are afraid that the main attraction for the student body at large was the ice cream and pretzels that were served at the party. VVhen we found ourselves successful rivals of Mr. Barnum's enterprise, like Alexander we looked about for a new field to conquer and found that Santa Claus had a monopoly on Christmas celebrations. So we chose Barney Shear to take his place and the A. A. had a Christmas party in the gym, where novelties and refreshments were distributed. This was not, however, the only party in our gym during our school term--the A. A. had a ripping one at Hallowe'en, and almost every Friday you could seeour Eds and Co-eds tripping the light fantastici' at some important function of the S. A. or the A. A. , 67
