History of the Senior Class It has been said that “History is past politics, and politics present history.” Such being the case, the uninitiated may think us without a history. But such is not the case, since the class of 1910, although not organized as a class until the present year, has passed through several campaigns of a political nature as well as many of those exciting and thrilling contests so characteristic of the Kansas State Manual Training Normal School. This noted building has been our cradle, th i clash and wrangle of legislatures our lullaby, and the word “appropriation” our battle cry. But laying aside the political feature of our past, we still have a record which will ever be re- called with mingled pleasure, pride and amazement. ‘Pleasure? Yes -for in after years, when the shadows of intervening events have caused the Memories of our careers as students of the State Manual Training Normal to grow dim, what a pleasure it will be to again recall our school days and the many friendly faces almost forgotten but for their association. In memory to live again the life when an in- terview with the principal, a delayed check or a heavy notebook was its greatest bugbear and the passing of examinations its one ambition. And with pride may we recall how we have struggled shoulder to shoulder, year after year to attain the common prize at the common goal. And with amazement and amusement of our entrance into this institution associated with its various customs and events. In the good old days when we usjd to hold our bimonthly frolics in the attic of the old Normal building, and when the one important subject for chapel talks was “The extended opportunities when we get into our new building,” the present Senior class had its humble beginnings. It had fio definite organization other than in theory. Our faculty theorists were sanguine and brave enough to think that some day out of their present flock they would be able to corral a full fledged class of Seniors. Each year their embryonic hopes were strengthened until now their theory has taken on the form of an actual reality. As previously stated the present Senior class has not existed as a regularly organized body for its full four years of school work. It has in reality been a gleaning of the best product obtainable from the various sections of the middle west. Some have joined us who have been for several years students of other state schools, but who luckily came to their senses in time. Others have served as pedagogues for many months and are quite efficient in administration of the strong arm theory, while others have been passive listeners to chapel opportunity talks for the full four years. But no matter as to its method of organization, it has in its past year become fully enthused with the true class spirit, and as for its loyalty and enthusiasm for its Alma Mater it stands without a peer. There are many qualities, attributes, etc., by which this class is distinguished as well as hon- ored. It is the first life-diploma class to graduate from the State Manual Training Normal. It is the first class that fully conceived the idea that the institution should publish a school paper. Hence the birth of “The Manual Normal Light.” Again, through its strenuous efforts the first School Annual, “TheKanza,” has been published. It is also noted for its variety of members, both from a standpoint of age as well as position in life. We have representatives from the blushing maid not yet out of her teens to the composed lady past—twenty. From those whom charity has seemed to have forsaken, to those who are happily married; from those who wear the diamond to those who hope is their watchword. But to enumerate more is useless for the living example more clearly speaks for itself than history is able to record. It is generally considered that a Senior is a gentleman of leisure. Judging from his carefree and happy expression there is some ground upon which to draw this conclusion. But only those who have passed through the trials of the Senior year and who have been called upon to choose between the allurements of pleasure and the demands of duty, can fully understand and appreciate the mental strain to which he is subjected. After these many years of preparation we are in fact only ready to take up the real problems of life. What a pity then our school days must end ere more of these life problems are solved amidst sympathetic surroundings. Our school days at the Kansas State Manual Training Normal now are ended. With fond recol- lections of our prosperous period in this school amidst jolly classmates and kind instructors, we are about to embark upon an untried sea. With best wishes and hopes to faculty, students and all, as we say good bye and turn from the door of our Alma Mater, our feelings find expression in the words of Don Juan in his farewell to his native land: “Farewell my Spain, a long farewell,” he cried, “Perhaps I may revisit thee no more, But die as many an exiled heart hath died Of its own thirst to see again thy shore.” H. E. T. A Phantasm Having glanced back upon the various successes of my classmates, and having recalled with pleasue with what ease the most threatening obstacles were surmounted, the writer is confident that they will successfully cope with the crudest misfortunes that Fate may thrust upon them. Personally congenial and of kindred ambition, the Senior Class of 1910 will resolve to perpetuate their illustrious name in the memories of generations yet to come, not by leaving the statue of Opollo to be relegated to the shadows of Professor Brower’s back room, not b leaving two victories to be marked by the pencils of “spooners” on the stairs, but to immortalize their name by planting the S. M. T. N. pennant on the North Pole. The expedition will be most heartily supported by President Russ, who will think it a most excellent advertisement for the school. George Malcolm, for his slow and thoughtful mein, will be unanimously chosen as captain of the ship and immediate com- mander of the crew. For the expedition’s surgeon, M. H. Powell, as all will feel confi- dent that he will not resort to the use of the knife without cool and thoughtful delibera- tion. The other officers: Engineer, Louise Henry Emmett; Steward, Charles Spence; Nurses, the McPherson sisters. So elated and enthusiastic will be the S. M. T. N. teachers over the project that many of them will accompany the class as far as Vancouver. After the sad fare- wells and the wiping away of tears, with favorable wind and tide, the ship known as the S. M. T. N. Albatross, will, shortly after midnight, swing from the harbor of British Columbia. Until she reaches Point Barrow, notwithstanding the rapid progress made the first few weeks, the Albatross will meet with much bad weather and contrary winds; cruel waves with racer’s speed, will envelop her, but wi'h her head to the northward, and struggling along through the raging waters, believing “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;” the crew with set teeth and newly formed resolutions, will determine to reach the goal of their ambition. On the Alaskan Peninsula the party will make a landing for the purpose of secur- ing dogs and sleds; Harry Cox, Teddy Tewell, Rachel Kendrick and Maude Harlan—the committee sent to make the purchase. In this neighborhood the first polar bear will be seen. Harry Cox, seemingly the most courageous, will immediately aim at the bear, but will miss his mark; the enraged animal will make a ferocious dart toward the party, the girls screaming will call wildly for the police, but upon second thought realize that their safety depends upon fighting the enemy, Maude Harlan will grasp her gun, take aim and shoot, but instead of the bear, will hit Teddy Tewell, inflicting a dangerous wound above the left auricle; meanwhile the infuriated beast will charge upon Harry Cox, who having used his last shot, will fight heroically with his hat and handkerchief. At this critical moment Rachel Kendrick with sure and cautious aim will shoot and kill the bear. Teddy Tewell, weak and faint from loss of blood will be carried back to the crew. Dr. Powell and the nurses will be called. ' Upon seeing the pitiable condition of Teddy, the nurses faint and are carried from the scene. The Doctor at once summons the bandage specialists, Anna Davis and Estelle Durboraw; through learned and skillful care, Teddy will finally be brought back to health and happiness. Charles Spence and Harry Cox, accompanied by Claude Musgraves as body guard, will be sent for the dogs and bear. After Mrs. Goff carefully drafts a pattern from the Goff Drafting System, Goldine Den- ton and Effie Payne will set to work in making from the bear’s fur, nose muffs and ear flaps for the entire company. Unused to the severity of the Northern regions, the crew will be taken seriously iil; provisions will give out; starvation will stare them in the face; none able to go for supplies; the situation deplorable. Cut off from every gleam of hope, they will be over- whelmed with lamentable despair, when President Russ and Professor Yates, informed by telepathy of their woeful condition, will arrive in the S. M. T. N. airship just in time to save their lives. Professor Yates will be so overcome with emotion that he will only be able to say “My dear students,” and will begin at once to inject Kansas air into the lungs of each. Stimulated by the administration, all instantly revive; with one accord arise and make a final dash for the North Pole. In their dog sleds, the class, with unshrinking courage and ardent desire for victory, will enthusiastically dash on and on with lightning speed. The goal of their aspirations realized, with the class singing the school song, the dogs barking wildly, our captain will nail the S. M. T. N. pennant on the top of the world. CLASS PROPHET, M.

A Junior Happenyinge. It behooveth all men and Junyorse notwythstandyinge to depart from the ordinarie rounde of events at some undetermined time in their lyfe historie, even though they be bothe morall and naturali. Such being true, the Junyorse did take it upon their illustrious selvas to direct such departure in a lyke. manner that it must needs falle on the exacte daye of the great theater attraction, “The Travelling Salesman.’' A most nobl Junyore, Hallidaye Curran by name, arose in chapel and shewed hymself courteous unto alle and made alle benolding unto hym for the pleasure and profit gained by this departure from the ordinarie ronnde of events. Now the affair being not unknown unto the youths or their upright tutors, there was much gathering together of foolish ones on the eve of the twenty-seconde daye of Marche. Wherefore since their aime was set in a North direc- tion with alle sincereness they travelled thence wyth undignified demeanor and$ehreech_ ing vocal organs. None feared or fledd but alle the rascally many ran heaped together in rude rablement. When they came to the corner of Fourth and Broadway theire feet dyd take wings and geese and ganders flew alike adown the dusty street and wyth many a pelmell push and jumble dyd reach the haven of theire aims, “Peanut Heaven.’' Ever amid swyft tossyhge fans, animated yells, much reprimanding of the “cop,” and the re- proachful glances of the English Head and Heart, there flitted that glimmer of excitement, the intense joye of whych was gratifying to the soule of the Junyore and his guests, Some two hours of smyling aloud and the moonlight scrumble and scatterment dyd fynish the departure from the ordinare rounde of events and thus the happenynge ended wyth the mornyng after to follow.

We, the historians of the first organized Sophomore Class of the State Manual Training Normal, in giving to the world this brief account of the workings of the Class, do not intend to burden our readers with a lengthy proclamation of our wonderful deeds of valor, but kindly submit this sketch to our struggling successors that they may know the way of the wise and be constrained to walk therein. On February twenty-first, nineteeii hundred ten, the second year students of the Normal met and effected the class organization. Our number was not as large as it would have been had not some of the members declared that they would not be Sopho- mores, and entered the ranks of those who “Think they know they know it all” Juniors, in spite of the fact that they belonged to our illustrious body. In the class room the Sophomores have distinguished themselves among other class- mates, and working side by side with the Juniors and Seniors, they have gained favor in the eyes of the Faculty, and have won credit among the students for uprightness of motive and highness of purpose. So desirable is our companionship that a few of the Juniors, allured by some of our fair members have come among us that they might receive such distinction as the graduating with the Sophomore Class of 1910 would bring to them. The purpose of the organization was mutual acquaintance, social edification and unity of action. This class is an ardent supporter of the school and proved its loyalty by the quick response to the call made for aid in the establishment of the school paper, “The Manual Normal Light.” A. M. E. W.

The Commencement season each year brings back an increasing number of former students, and it is a pleasures to me to greet them at this time. This Institution took a step forward in the educational field, insisting on breaking away from the old traditional course of study, and contending that there should be introduced into the public school system, for both boys and girls, suitable industrial work, so that we might have trained hands directed by a trained brain. “Gradually, but slowly, men have learned by experience that schooling, if it be of a suitable kind, does not necessarily educate away from industry, and further, that the kind of educa- tion which fits for industry, not only returns educated men to industrial life but also and inevitably develops the industries to a level that is unattainable except through education.” In order to accomplish this, we must have teachers who are thoroughly educated and trained along industrial lines. This Institution was founded for that pur- pose. Because of its unique position in the educational field, its students have been obliged to overcome the prejudices existing against “The neiv education ; they have been missionaries in the educational field, and have had the inspiration of martyrs. On account of this, the alumni and the students have caught the spirit and imbibed the ideals of the Institution, which probably has drawn them closer together than is the case of the alumni of most schools. We are proud of the record of our alumni. They are teaching and directing indus- trial work in the public schools in all parts of the country. They are preaching the gospel, “Education for efficiency.” The alumni who return will find many changes in the State Manual Training Normal. Instead of being located in the small building on the corner of Walnut and 5th, we now have our commodious and well equipped structure on the beautiful campus of twenty acres on South Broadway; we are better able to meet the increased demands upon it, than we have ever been before; our equipment along industrial lines surpasses many technical schools; our laboratories are spacious and extensive for academic work. The faculty has been increased, the enrollment has reached 750 the present year, so we are no longer a small normal. The student body, of course, changes from year to year, yet the ideals and the spirit of the Institution remain unchanged. Alumni and graduates—Come and mingle writh us during the commencement wreek. You will be welcomed home. You will receive a cordial greeting and you will find ani- mating both faculty and students of the dear old S. M. T. N. the same hearty fellowship. R. S. RUSS. KANSAS STATE MANUAL TRAINING NORMAL LIFE THE OLD NORMAL BUILDING. HISTORY OF THE KANSAS STATE MANUAL TRAINING NORMAL. This history is not written for the purpose of inflicting a long, tiresome list of dates on the helpless reader but is perpetrated for the purpose of showing the growth and development of the school. On September 8, 1903, the Normal began its first day’s work with forty students and only five members of the faculty--------happy students! The first student to enroll was Miss Preswick Chandler, who is now head of the Domestic Art Department. The first and last chapel exercises held in the old building were conducted by Rev. G. W. Trout, former pastor of the First Baptist church of this city but who now has charge of the History Department of this school. The commanding force consisted of Principal R. S. Russ, Prof. E. A. Shepardsom, Miss Shellebarger, Miss O’Della Nation and Prof. A. M. Buman. The building in which the school opened was an old one, once occupied by the High School, and which was loaned by the city until a more suitable habitation could be secured. It must be admitted that this was not a very imposing structure, but when the apparatus for Manual Training was installed served the purpose very nicely until the completion of the new building. As the school grew, iron work was installed and the forges were placed in a stable near by, while a church next door was used as a library. Those must have been glorious times when all seemed as one large family, and we later generations feel our admiration increasing as we hear some old veteran relate in glowing language how the students of those days used to “do things”! But that may be given as a characteristic of all succeeding students. The Normal has always been noted for its wide-awake loyal student body. This little band, like the famous Finney’s turnip, “It grew and it grew till it couldn’t grow any larger.” This was quite true for in the increditably short space of five years the number had so increased that for good, efficient work a larger building was needed. The new Normal was sufficiently completed at vacation time in 1909 for occupancy and at the present time all the old departments, as well as the new ones which have since been established are doing excellent work. The Normal now has an enrollment of about seven hundred and fifty with a faculty of twenty-six. One of the remarkable things in the history of the school, one that sets in apart and makes it distinct from all other schools, is the fact that it does not know the word “trouble.” Those going to the office with imaginary difficulties, are met with such an optimistic philosophy that “wrinkled care derides” itself and vanishes like a student’s hopes before a chemistry exam. Our faculty is one of the strongest, our student body one of the most energetic. Although young, we point with pride to the history of our school which consists not so much'jn a long list of achievements, though she can boast her share, as to the army of earnest, young men and women she is sending out, who after all, are the real history makers. We who love the old S. M. T. N., who glory in the results which she has accomplished, are yet looking forward to greater things, are always saying, “Build thee more stately mansions.” As we look at the results of the past seven years, we realize the truth of the state- ment we have heard so often, “There is not another school like it in existence.” THE CAMPUS The old students, when returning to their Alma Mater, will look in vain for the frog pond and its accompanying signs—“ but will behold “A thing of beauty and a the near future are found in these lines: THE PRESENT. Grim and bare, art thou, 0 Campus, Thou canst not boast one lonely tree, To entice the lads and lassies To “cut” class and fly to thee. Not one spear of grass, 0 Campus, Can be seen upon thy face, And the foot-prints of thy children, Through thy mud may plainly trace. No Fishing Allowed,”’ and “Boats to Let,” joy forever.” The present and the hope of THE FUTURE. Beautiful, art thou, 0 Campus, With thy tall and stately trees, And thy graceful, winding driveways, Lovers’ hearts to set at ease. Thou art beautiful, 0 Campus, Well beloved; and well I ween, That thy name shall live forever Framed in crimson, gold, and green. s I Jay! Jay! Jay! Haw! H aw! Hawk! MaNual TmiiMiiNg Norma Jay! Hawk!

The Athletic Association of the State Manual Training Normal was organized in the fall of 1907 with 56 charter members. This is a student organization, consisting of present and former students of the school, together with the faculty, their “junk” and “adjuncts.” The officers are elected from the student members, who, together with a faculty committee, compose the Athletic Council, which transacts the business of the Association. The Director of Physical Training'of the school is manager of all different organiza- tions of the Association. This year the school was fortunate in securing the services of Prof. J. W. Fuhrer, S. B., who has served as Director of Physical Training in Doane College, ’Od-’OB and Physical Director Y. M. C. A. Springfield, Mo., ’08-’09. The new athletic field is large and well graded, with a 16 ft. cinder track, while eight tennis courts complete the equipment for out door sports. The new gymnasium, though small is well equipped with apparatus for. the various recreative and corrective exercises. The growth and development both in spirit and in membership have been remark- able. The membership this year consists of more than 200, while the school spirit has been greatly augmented by the interest taken in the various games. The officers for the year 1909-’10 are:— L. E. Reavley, Rachel A. Kendrick, M. H. Powell, Maude L. Harlan, President Vice President Secretary Treasurer FOOT-BALL The most important event of the Foot-Ball season was the game with the Springfield, Missouri, Normal, on the home groynds Thanksgiving Day. The game was hard fought from start to finish, as both teams .were vor evenly matched; but when time was up the Missourians had “showed us,” the final score being: Missouri Normal 6; Kansas S. M. T. N. 0. Those players participating in the games of this year were as follows: Robert Lindburg Left End Halliday Curran Left End Charles Hackney Left Tackle Neil McCabe Left Tackle and l Guard W. J.

The most important events of the basket-ball season was the trip of the boy’s team to Marionsville, Drury and Springfield with return games and the visit of Southwestern’s team here. Not many games were scheduled for the girl’s team this year, the Fort Scott Collegiate Institute game and various High School games completing the list.

It is fifty feet by fifty feet in dimension, with a ceiling seventeen feet high. There are two bath and dressing rooms, one for men, the other for women. The equipment, although not elabo- rately provided, is suitable for all the needs of practical physical training. It is provded with dumb-bells, indan-clubs, and wands for light gymnastics; a horizontal bar, German horse, parallel bars, spring board and mats for heavy gymnastics. The basket ball court is fifty feet by thirty-five feet. Removable seats accommodate three hundred and fifty people for all in-door games and contests. THE COACH THE Y. M. C. A Organized about three weeks before the end of the school term last spring, the Y. M. C. A. has been very actively engaged in, “The Struggle for Existence”: however, it has made itself felt as a factor in the life of the school. V Under the auspices of the association last summer was organized a book exchange for the benefit of the student bodv,hnid this exchange was of great service to both old and new students, in getting rid of and in finding books. Financially, the association has been very successful; though few in numberslast fall the Y. M. C. A. assumed management of and presented a lecture course for the school, realizing a fair return for time and energy invested. While there has not been an organized Bible Study Class, many of the fellows are enroled in “The Inner Chamber Class,” conducted by Prof. Trout, as all are encouraged to1 do and it must also be borne in mind that at least seventy-five per cent of the young men in school carry on Bible study either in Sunday School or in classes conducted by the ministers of the city. Last year five of the young men in the interest of the school in the work attended the State Convention at Lawrence. Three of the fellows attended the great Conference at Cascade, Colorado, in early June; then four of the young men attended the State Convention at Topeka, in February, and at present we are planning to send delegates to the Cascade Conference again this summer. In early April, Mr. J. II. Dadisman visited with us and held a meeting at which we more than doubled our membership and aroused the interest of the new young men in the yreat work of the Y. M. C. A. BIBLE STUDY CLASS OF THE S. M. T. N. Soon after entering our new building, Prof. Trout started a Bible Study Class, meeting once a week on Thursday at 4 p. m. The movement was very popular, and soon the largest lecture room in the building was filled. This lead to a permanent organization. A committee was appointed or named, which submitted the following report: “Realizing that we were to select a name for the class that will stand first in the life and character building of the student body, we have made diligent search for one. Our conception of the aim of this class is expressed in the words of Jehovah when He says unto Samuel, “ ‘Look not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature; because 1 have rejected him: For Jehovah seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh upon the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart.’ “The heart—the inner-chamber of the living temple—must be made acceptable to God, and the name we propose indicates that of the man who so ably leads it. The name is: Trout's Inner-Chamber Study Class.” Respectfully Submitted, W. H. Cox Maude ITarlan Walter Staton Eulalia E. Roseberry E. W. Lemasters Magnolia Lee, Chairman Since its organization it has enrolled two hundred members, and much has been accomplished. THE DEBATING LEAGUE. During the first semester an effective debating Society was organized having for its aim the training in thought delivery and the other necessary arts of forceful public speaking. About twenty of the leading young men were the enthusiastical supporters and by their persevering efforts a foundation was laid for a broader and more comprehensive work in years to come. They named their organization “The Senate”; it proved very helpful not only to our Springfield team but also to the other members as well, for the training they received. GLEN SKINNER CHARLES SPENCE GEORGE MALCOLM TEAM FOR MISSOURI NORMAL DEBATE WOMANLINESS. v� — ....... = '!� • (To be read only by girls.) There are certain words in the English language that are suggestive rather than descriptive, their value lying in their very vagueness and elasticity of interpretation by which each mind can write its own commentary, each imagination sketch its own illus- tration. And one of these is the word womanliness—a word infinitely more subtle in meaning, with more possibilities of definition. mor$ lights and shades, perhaps, than any other word in our language. When a lady of culture overcomes the natural shrinking of sense, and voluntarily enters into the circumstances of sickness and poverty that she may help those in need, we say she is womanly. We call it womanliness when she removes from herself every suspicion of grossness, coarseness or ugliness, and makes her life as dainty as a picture, as lovely as a poem; womanly when she protects the weaker, when she submits to the stronger; womanly when she bears in silence; womanly when she acts with vigor. A womanly woman has neither vanity nor hardness. She may be pretty, most likely she is, and she may know it—for mirrors cannot lie. But her soul is not given up to ribbons. She recognizes that as there are certain manly virtues, strength, power, intelligence, honesty, bravery; so there are certain womanly ones, among which are patience, industry, self-sacrifice, modesty, neatness, common sense. So it is that our word is a very proteus, meaning many things by turn, but never any- thing that is not noble, gracious, beautiful. Ermine Owen. PORTERIAN SOCIETY HALL PORTERIAN. HISTORY OF THE PORTERIAN SOCIETY. Rah! Who ! Rah! ZipTBoom !t Ah ! Rip Zoo! Ra Zoo! Jimmy blow your baztoo ! Ip ziddie—i—ki— Tra la la, Tra la la, Tra la la Porterians! 7 s Tra la la, Tra la la, Tra la la Porterians! When the regular school work of the Normal was well started, the need of some organization for literary work was felt, so the school was divided into two divisions, . .... . one division meeting m the southeast room of the old Normal building. These energetic people went to work at once to organize themselves into a perma- nent society. Miss Pressie Chandler acted as chairman and officers were elected,—Miss Chandler receiving the unanimous vote of the society for the first president; Miss Clara Belle Fair was elected vice president, and Mr. Will Matthews, secretary and treasurer. In honor of Senator E. F. Porter, whose work in the legislature was largely instru- mental in securing the Normal for Pittsburg, the society adopted the name, “Porterian.” Not only by its name is a socety known, but also by its colors and its flower; so the Porterians, to be always well represented, chose the crimson and white for colors and the carnation for their flower. From that time on the Porterian Society has been one of the most influential departments of the S. M. T. N. Near the close of the first school year, the Lanyon prize was offered for the winners in a declamatory contest and the Lindburg prize for those in debate. Both societies entered the contest with much spirit. The first was held in June, 1904, and the Por- terians won the prize in debate, their contestants were Miss Pressie Chandler of Pittsburg and Mr. Merle Newman of McCune. In the next year’s contest, which was held in June, 1905, the Porterians, repre- sented by Miss Helen Hill of Emporia and Mr. Fred Bumann of Bunker Hill, 111., again carried off the prize in debate, and in addition to this the second prize in Declamation which was won by Miss Lavon Vincent, of Pittsburg. The following year, the Fitch prize was offered for the best essay. Miss Lillian Jean Potter of Mound City won the first prize and Miss Laura Miller of Olathe the second, and in declamation Miss Nellie Flynn of Chicopee took the first prize, Miss Millie Henderson of Wellington was second. In 1906 the J. Luther Taylor prize was offered for the best oration and this contest was held with the one in debate in May, making two contests annually. Through the efficient work of Miss Frances Henderson of Wellington, the Porterians took first place in this contest. In the December contest of 1906, Miss Georgia Castleberry of McCune won the first prize in declamation and Mr. Elva Blair of Girard the second prize. The second place in essay was taken by Miss Gertrude Lynn of Winfield. In the contest in oration and debate held in May, 1907, the first prize for the best oration was won by Miss Elsie Phelps of Pittsburg, for the Porterians. Miss Fra Bicknell of Hannon, Mo., won for the Porterian Society the second prize in declamation and Mr. H. E. Tewell of Pittsburg the first prize in essay in the contest of December, 1907. Mr. Carl Errebo of Vesper, Kansas, won the second prize for his oration in the oratorical and debate contest of May, 1908. In January, 1909, the Normal moved to the new building which had been provided for it by the state, and here the societes each have a permanent hall. The annual December contest was not held until in February. Heretofore this contest had been one in declamation and essay; but this year the contest in essay gave place to one in Dramatic Art. The first prize the Porterians won. being represented by Mr. L. E. Reavley, Mr. II. E. Tewell of Pittsburg, and Miss Nellie Gilbert of Waterville. who gave a scene from Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.” Miss Beatterice Brown of Pittsburg won the second prize with her declamation. In the June contest, Mr. II. C. Eddy of Girard won for the Porterians the first prize in oration. In the December contest of 1909, a scene from Schiller’s “Mary Stuart,” given by Miss Maud Harlan of McCune, Miss Irene Dunckel of Fort Scott, Miss Mae McPher- son of Chetopa, Mr. Glenn Skinner of Cherokee, and Mr. Chas. Dabbs of Fort Scott, won the first place in Dramatic Art, while the second place in the declamation was won by Miss Mary Sears of Pittsburg.

HISTORY OF THE MANUS VEREZ SOCIETY The Manus Verez Society had its beginning: in the early history of the S. M. T. N. and from the first made itself felt as a factor in the life of the school. The power it has possessed for good has grown with the years of its progress, and has served as an attrac- tion to talent until its present enrollment is the most efficient and largest membership of the State Manual Training Normal’s Societies. In contest work the Manus Verez does not boast that she is always on top but in the Inter-Society Contests she has won her share of the honors. Though she does not enjoy the distinction of being the most tragical, yet she is proud of her debaters, orators and readers. The secret of her success is due to the fact that the members do conscientious indi- vidual work where it should be done and then rally as a unit in the support of the representatives when the occasion demands. A number of the Senior Class of nineteen hundred ten will leave our society hall this year to test their talents in broader lields. But we shed no tears for them for we know that the Manus Verez spirit will go with them, that they do and dare and “lead where others follow.” Then there are those who were enthusiastic workers in the early days of the Society who have since become estranged from this busy student life. To these pioneers who first “blazed the trail,” we, the Manus Verez of nineteen hundred ten send greeting. We chersh the record you have left us. As you read these lines we hope you will be lead back to Manus Verez days in the S. M. T. N-, that you will see again the Society banner and feel once more the thrill of that old triumphant chorus: Boom Boom De A Boom Boom De A, Manus Verez! Jayhawker Jay!

The first of September, 1908, Professor Russ called a meeting of the societies to begin their work. The Porterian and Manus Verez Societies met in their respective halls, and all people who were taking the regular Normal Course could belong to either of these standing societies; but all people in D. C. or C. C. classes were to meet and form a society of their own. This they did, with the help of Miss Roseberry, and Miss Grass, and who also helped them with the -work, meeting in room No. 1 at the old Normal building. At the first meeting the officers were elected, as follows: Chas. Brooks, President Miss Bess Smilie, Secretary Wm. Kent, Yell Master The president appointed a committee on name, yells and colors. The following meeting they reported and of all the names given, Russonian was selected, in honor of the father of the school. Alice blue and white were the chosen colors. The motto is “Scvie est regere.” The society has flourished in the new building and has now about eighty-five members. The programs are long and well rendered and the members take an active interest in the society. Future hopes are entertained for it becoming a per- manent society. ACTIVE MEMBERS.

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Perhaps no other department of the school has had a more rapid growth and added more materially to the interest of the entire school, than the Department of Music. This department was only introduced at the beginning of the school year in September. The outlook for supporting a regular department of music was by no means bat- tering, for there seemed to be very little talent for musical organization, and a much less number interested in private instruction, vocal and instrumental music. Never- theless the talent available was mustered and others who showed some possibility in voice or fein musical ear were draughted into the various bodies and began regular semi- weekly rehearsals and organized under the clubs to be known as, “The Polymnia Club” of sixteen girls; “The Male Glee Club” of sixteen boys, and “The Normal Orchestra” of twelve members. Later a band was organized of sixteen members, under the leadershp of Prof. Wood. The growth and success of these organizations will be found elsewhere in this volume. The private work in Voice, Piano, Theory and Public School Music also began to attract attention. The work of the department spread. The fact became known that all work in the study of Piano, Voice, and Public School Music was carefully outlined and planned on a systematic conservatory basis. Thus insuring more rapid progress, besides the advantage of having a goal to work for in the completion of some certain prescribed course. The Qourses are as follows: The Preparatory Course The Teachers’ Course (Studies Outlined) (Normal Class, Studies Outlined) (Certificate Class, Studies Outlined) The Classical Course (Diploma) (Studies Outlined) Gradually students and citizens of the city became interested in the work of this department, until now in the private class work (Harmony, Counterpoint, Theory and Public School Music) and organizations number over ninety, and will reach without doubt the one hundred mark before the close of the year. r GLEE CLUB. ORGANIZATIONS. Uljr Polymnia £lub The Polymnia Club or Chorus is an organization composed of eighteen young ladies, students of the school. The repertoire of the club consists of about twenty-five selections, which they have rendered at Concerts. Joint Society Meetings, Special Society Programmes, and Chapel exercises. Their work has been heartily appreciated as shown by the applause and frequent encores of their audiences. The names of the active members of the Club are as follows: Helen Bennett, Bee Caton. Fay Halloway, Fern Katherman, Claudine Grier. Irene Dunckel, Lela Coleman, Allie De Witt, Neal Brunner. Cecil Murray, Lena Martin, Marie Jesson, Daisy Lamb, Fedilia Benton, Ruth Bousfield, Ethel Iliff, Beattrice Brown, Alpha Kern, Essie Weaver. g . «. 3.

The Club meets twice weekly and every member takes great interest in the work and tries to m ike the Club the best possible. The Club is composed of the fol- lowing persons: Willis Ilale Charles Snyder Canby Trout Paul Lindsay Harold Crowell II. E. Tewell Prof. C. Ernest Willett Salathiel Snyder Pete Jury Frank Dorsey Stanford Householder Guy Hoover, Director (Drrijpstra The Normal School Orchestra was organized last fall under the direction of Prof. Hoover for the purpose of giving experienced performers on orchestral instruments an opportunity to do ensample work and to become acquainted with the many good things in classical and modern composition for the orchestra. The persistence in using only music “worth while”, has developed an intense interest in the work of this organiza- tion. The instrumentation is as follows: First and Second Violins, Violincellos, Contra-Bass, Trombone, First and Second Clarinets, Flutes, First and Second Cornets, Piano, Drums and traps.

Art is the outgrowth of industry and is possible only when there is some varied industrial life, for man is the only Art producing creature, and the story must deal with the ’efforts of all people for all times, to live their lives more effectively; to quote the word� of Wm. Morris, “To make things which they knew to be useful and believed to be beautiful.” Every object wrought by man, if created in a spirit of joy must possess the quality of Art. But, underlying all must be the broad principles of nature, for nature is the product of the divine mind and is the source of all Art. The function of Art Instruction is to teach us to see the truth and beauty of nature. Then the function of Art Education must be to teach us to incorporate the principles of the truth and beauty of nature into our life work; to teach us to do each thing that we do better than we have ever done it before that we may ne er stop short of our highest abilities; that we may have sympathy and love, and courage to do good. A great art is produced only when a people live quietly, steadily, and faithfully leading strong and noble lives. Alt must tend to produce harmony in the surroundings of mankind; it mast tend to beautify everything with which it may come into contact; it must become a positve economy using every part to the full, for beauty will not admit of useless things There is no waste, no loss, no friction in harmony. W. Morris tells us, “Never have anything in your home which you do not know to be useful and believe to be beautiful.” Man only has a sense of proportion and an instinct for fine proportions should trans- figure his whole life. Art is primarily social and its social value is two fold. Said Buskin. “Life with- out labor is a crime; labor without art and the amenities of life is brutality.” Its identity with industry brings the personal element into harmony with the broader life. Art is not, as many believe, a higher pleasure for the few, but it is for everyone, and each may feel that his work, if honestly and earnestly done, will be a contribution to the fullness of all life. Again such art is bringing us to the realization of the golden rule, do unto others as you would that others should do unto you. The world is progressing so rapidly that we are unable to adjust ourselves, but let there be joy in the progress, let there be co-operation, and freedom and pleasure. We get art only when we exalt man the creator above the materials with which he works. The power of art is bringing the true spirit to earth and incorporating it into the mass of our material life. “And no one shall work for money, And no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working, And each in his separate star Shall draw the thing as he sees it, For the God of things as they are.”—Kipling. Lyle Brower. MANUAL TRAINING MANUAL TRAINING. In the beginning , when man was banished from the Garden of Eden, God laid this command upon him and his descendants, “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to dust,” This command still holds good. The wealth of the nation is the product of labor. The earth gives forth its untold wealth of vegetation and minerals under the magic influence of labor. The factory, the farm, the mine, every source of production for the use of mankind, would be a dead factor were it not for the stimulating influence of labor. Civilzation is the result of organized effort, and that we.enjoy the comforts and pleasures of the present day is due to the transmission of trained effort and skill from one generation to another. Education is training for efficiency. It is the storing of useful knowledge for the time of need. It is making preparation to meet successfully the problems of life; to cope successfully with each emergency as it presents itself. It is the building of char- acter and habits of self-reliance. Nothing can so well accomplish this thorough education as the study of, and the dealing with, real things in a natural manner. The broader and more practical the education, that it can be used, the more nearly it serves its purpose. So frequently we hear the old saying, “There is no royal road to learn- ing ;” meaning the acquisition of knowledge without labor or h ardship, but r.ec: gnzing the fact that continued effort produces the desired result. Manual training is mental training. It is purely educational and was designed for that purpose. It is that branch of the educational course having for its object the training c £ the pupil by the use of tools, materials and objects such as are found in the home, the shop and factory. By using this means its brings the pupil in closer relation to the things and processes that he will come in contact with in the business world. Manual training labor are not synonymous terms. Manual labor is toil of a routine and continuous character, the performance of which has no partcular educa- tional development or advancement. We instinctivly shun manual or physical labor, they being wearisome and monotonous and the results coming slowly. We approve of and enjoy mental labor, as it trains the brain to work and plan methods of overcoming the drudgery of manual toil through invention of labor saving- machinery and processes. Manual training covers many branches of educational work. For school purposes, the following are commonly used: Bench woodwork such as joinery, wood-carving and cabinet work. Machine woodwork consisting of wood-turning, pattern-making and advanced cabinet work. Iron work consisting of forge work, machine shop practice, plumbing and various kinds of sheet metal work. These branches are planned to suit the needs of boys as it fits them for such occupa- tions as they naturally follow in gaining a livlihood. Domestic Art and Domestic Science, although not coming under the head of manual training, are designed educationally for the needs of the girls, in the same manner as the manual training is for the boys and serve the same purpose. In the State Manual Training Normal School, Manual Training, Domestc art. Do- mestic Science, and kindred subjects are taught primarily for the training of teachers of these branches to teach, in the public schools of the state. Many pupils take advan- tage of these courses to get the essentials and the foundation of some useful occupation or vocation. It is generally conceded that the school can give the preparation better than it can be done in the factory or home. More and more is the demand being made upon the schools to prepare the boys and girls to fill the positions they are to occupy when they shall be the bread-winners and home-makers. The schools of today are more fully meeting these demands than ever before as is shown in the general introduction of the Manual Arts in the school courses. yp Bumann, Director of Manual Training. ■ MACHINE SHOP COOKING LABRATORY AY.

SECTION OF THE LIBRARY, BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT Fools are my theme, let satire be my song. Some Juniors went to town one day, To get some poplin Irish, Said they—“we’ll make a little tie, To look so devilish stylish.” They made the ties with what they thought Were ’leveils, spick and dandy, But Law! they looked like shoestrings wide, With Indian clubs so handy. “Dorsey” ate a tablet The family doctor gave, And now he’s got a big one On his little grave. Oh we have a new Professor, And his name is Dr. D. And he tells us all about the plants His pets “bac-ter-ie.” Pie shows us how to grow ’em, And to kill ’em, and all that, Why, you know, he even teaches us To “bisect” a cat. A man that’s fond precociously of stirring must be a spoon. Oh what may man within him hide, Though Angel on the outward side! Sing a song of microbes, Dainty little thirds,— Eyes and ears and horns and tails, Claws and fangs'add stings. Microbes in the carpet, Microbes in the wall, Microbes in the vestibule, Microbes in the hall. Microbes on my money, Microbes in my hair, Microbes in my me‘it and bread. Microbes everywhere. Microbes in the butter, Microbes in the cheese, Microbes on the knives and forks, Microbes in the breeze, Microbes in the kitchen, Microbes in the bed, Microbes in the brush and comb. Microbes in my head, Microbes in the faucet, Microbes in the drains, Microbes in my boots and shoes, Microbes in my brain. Pussy little microbes, Billions at a birth; Make our flesh and blood and bones, Keep us here on earth. There is a young fellow named, Cy, (Spence) Who kissed a fair maiden on the eye, Said she to the lad, “Your aim’s mighty bad, You should practice awhile,” so he’ll try. Wanted a wife To sweeten life, By a Junior, young and healthy, I do not care, So1 the lady be fair, How poor she may be or wealthy. Society is now one polished horde, Formed of two mighty tribes—the bores and bored. When I see a youth with his pants turned up, And his beautiful socks on view, And over one eye perched a little round hat With a ribbon of mauve or blue, And the fourteen rings and the seven pins. That he got at his dear “prep” school, Why, it strikes a cord and I say—“O Lord! Was I ever that big a fool?” When I see a youth with his gloves turned down And a cigarette stuck in his face, And a loud check-coat and a horse-cloth vest, And a half an inch wide shoe lace, And a bunch of hair that hides his ears, And a line of senseless droll, Then I paw the sward, as T say, 4‘Oh Lord! Was I ever that big a fool?” He is a fool who thinks by force or skill, To turn the current of a woman’s will. I remember, I remember, The little dinky car, Where we were trundled off to school With many a jolt and jar. Our heads would touch the ceiling, And then the floor would mar. Oh that was foot-ball practice. In that little Dinky car. Thou too sail on, oh music crew! Orchestra, band and glee'clubs too, The list’ner sits and vainly tries Music to see in clash and cries— Fear not each sudden sound and shock, ’Tis but the splitting of a frock ’Tis but another proof, you see, That some poor lass has reached “high G.” In spite of lemons, eggs so old, In spite of bribes of shining gold, Sing on! nor stop to get your breath! Our sighs, our moans, our groans, our tears. The cotton stuffed within our ears, Are all for thee! Are all for thee ! “Teddy,” he went to the show, From the balcony peeped down below, What he saw there Sure raised his hair Oh Dunckel, what makes you do so? Half a mile, half a mile, Half a mile and more, my lass, On to the packing house, Rushed the A Cooking class. “Forward ye cooks so brave! Charge for'the door,” she said, Into the bloody pass Rushed the A cooking class. ‘ ‘ Forward cooks so brave ! Was there a one dismayed? Not though each hero knew Death reigned beyond that pass— Theirs not to make reply Theirs not to reason why Theirs but to do, not fly, Into the bloody pass Rushed the A cooking class. Pork to the right of them. Beef to the left of them, Bologna in front of them Appalled and affrighted— Shrieked at by dying pigs Wildly they clutched their wigs Madly they danced odd jigs Long they for waiting rigs As this they cited. Flashed butchers’ knives so bare, Flashed as they turned in air Skinning the cattle there Ripping off poor brutes’ hair All the class trembled— Plunged in the boiling pot Dragged from the water hot, Drawn to the scraper’s spot Fear was the common lot Of those assembled. Pork to the right of them, Beef to the left of them, Bologna in front of them Weeks and weeks after— Tried they with all their might To forget the horrid sight Of blood to left and right Still saw it day and night There was no laughter. When can that horror fade? Oh the wild trip they made! Greater ne’er seen— Pity their lot, my lass, Pity the cooking class, Martyr’d eighteen. Senior—“I came near getting that appointment I was after.” “How near?” “I got a dis—appointment.” “My dear,” said Prof. Yates, “I fear that your grocer is adulterating his wares— I certainly find traces of milk in this formaldehyde.” Householder’s little brother—“What are money orders, Pa?” “Your brother’s letters to me when he’s at the Normal.” Having mentioned before that he would like to see the Social Ed. class as martyrs, Prof. Trout finished his lecture in this wise—“I can never hope to see all of you remain teachers more than a year or two—I would not care too—I had rather see these girls as wives.” A dude is the bewhiskered essence of an organized perfume. Oh sing me a song of vacation! A song that is light and free, For I’m weary of all this cooking, sewing and chemistry. Oh sing of the sighing branches and brooks half hidden from sight, But never—oh never—of fierce exams, where the candle burns all night. Oh ye Rats! ye Rats! thou art the bane of my life! Oh ye Commons! ye Commons! thou are the law of my life! Oh ye Nuns! ye Nuns! thou art the peace of my life! Oh ye Astors! ye Astors! thou art the fragrance of my life! Oh ye Beans! ye Beans! thou art the staff of my life! A mugwump is a person educated beyond his intellect. Snatches from the sewing room— “Where’s my front gore?” “You’ll have to rip that out.” “Next.” “Oh there comes the janitor—grab your patterns and scraps.” “Is there anything I can do for anybody right away quick?” “Oh heavens! was that a boy passed the door?” A Medley— I love them, I love them and who shall dare, To chide me for loving those talks on the stair? Profs may come, and Profs may go, But we stay here forever. “What class do you belong to Dick?” “Oh, er, well—I don’t exactly know, but it’s the one Fra belongs to.” The whiskers of genius are usually on the edge of a man’s trousers. A good way to improve the memory is to become a debtor. There’s many a man both young and old Has gone to his sarcophagus, By pouring water, ice-cold, Adown his hot esophagus. Tell me not in mournful numbers The “Normal Light’’ is but a dream, For the printing-press just slumbers And the type’s not what it seems. Complaints from the dinkey— Why is it folks sit this way In the car we miss While in the one we catch at last We ’rejammedinlikethis. Memories of the staff— Which shall it be, which shall it be? I looked at Maude, Maude looked at me, Dear, brilliant Maude, who thinks me wild With but the knowledge of a child, And when my verses she had read, She wisely shook her little head, And then in accents meak and meeker, ‘£ Oh heavens, Kendrick! you ’re off with your meter! ’ ’ Bee said she’d sing a song for him, And Les was sore beset; She meant is as a promise, but He took it as a threat. When you think you’re feelin glum, Smile! When the world seems on the bum, Smile! Trouble? Ain’t no such thing For the fellow who can sing; Let’s made happiness our kin— Smile! Said Professor Brower, “No logic is ample Save your talk has some proof as a sample.” So in showing the gravity of moral depravity, He tumbled down stairs for example. There was a young fellow named Cox, Who was just as sly as a fox, For snap shots we’d try, But could not get nigh, He’d run, “you can just bet your socks.” “Allie is a decided blonde, isn’t she?” “Yes, but she decided only recently.” “You think Powell went to heaven?” “Lord knows! the mule kicked him in that direction.” ’Twas the night ’fore exams when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse, The books were scattered on table and chair. In hopes that by cramming, we’d somehow get there. Backward, turn backward, Oh Goff to the fray! Miss not the lecture that’s meant for today, I pray you come back and wait at the door ’Till the howls and the yells of the Juniors are o’er. Backward, turn backward, to acid and base— Backward, turn backward, Oh fly to the race! I pray you turn back or no grade will you get, Unless ’tis the one that is proffered by Kit. 1 like a woman and a salad, too, I hail them as a double-distilled blessing, But I enjoy them more, I must confess, When some on else can furnish me the dressing. Heard at the ball game— Alice D. (aged six) “He’s your papa, ain’t he?” (a pause) “Say, lie’s your papa, ain’t he?” Maude H.—“No dear.” (another pause) “Say, what’s his name?” “His name is Mr Spence.” “Is your name Mrs. Spence?” (No answer.) And the “Coach” said— “Hullaballo!” “Buck into that—you play like an old woman!” “You move like a wooden man!” “Where’s that knot-headed quarter back?” 4 4 Whoop-a-doodle, boys! ’ ’ “Now get that ball!!! “For—!!—!!—!!!! Get that head gear off and let some of this soak in.” While working on the campus, one of the men was accosted by a normal Miss “Are you digging out those holes to put trees in?” “No, ma’m, I’m digging out the dirt and leaving the holes.” I remember, I remember that rat I used to wear; It cost me forty-some-odd cents, it was the best of hair. But hanging o’er my joyless head, is the awful hand of fate. For Prof. D. said, 44You wear that rat, no hair’ll grow on your pate.” WHAT MAKES SCHOOL LIFE WORTH WHILE. SENIOR CLASS POEM. Life may be a pleasant dream, For the Faculty and their “junk,” Who love to write in pencil red Flunk—Flunk—Flunk. Life may be a pleasant dream For the Freshmen and Sophomore, The Juniors, of course, have nothing to do. They know it all and more. Life may be a pleasant dream, If so set me aright When fifty people ask in a day Where is the “Normal Light?” Life may be a pleasant dream When Teddy tears his hair And rushes madly from place to place In search of a stenographer fair. Life may be a pleasant dream But Oh. give me a rest For many a sleepless night I’ve spent, And this spiel is my best. Life may be a pleasant dream With nothing its joys to mar, But life, just now in the Senior Class, Is war—war—war. AFTER CLASS DAY. Now life will be a pleasant dream, And it’s paths in peace we’ll tread, For we’ll have two weeks in whcli we are free To be seen or heard or dead. Rachel Kendrick. THE MANUAL NORMAL LIGHT The Seniors had a good idea, Said Malcolm: “It’s a go! I’ll get right up before the school, And tell the Students so.” Next day he rose to make his speech, (We thought he’d talk ’til night)-- And called upon the students there To support the “Normal Light.” The Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, all Entered the worthy fight. And that is just the reason why We have the “Normal Light.” BLESSED BE CO-EDUCATION.
