BRANDENBURG JfamunriL S an artist stands intently before a beauti- ful scene and attempts to paint it upon his canvas, so vve have stood watching the transactions of the school year and tried to Repro- duce it in this little volume. Not promiscuously nor arranged according to any idea of rank, but like the unfolding of a bud into the perfect flower, so we have tried to obey the natural law of sequence and commence with the opening of the summer term and follow thru until the climax at graduation. So we invite you to come, go dreaming with us, as we live again the joys and sorrows of our school year. Be merry with us at our banquets and enthused at our games of victory; let us laugh at the pranks and the tricks we play and the queer little sights we see; let us greet again the friends we knew and meet our professors once more. Now we’ll sing our college songs over just once, and give the old yells that we learned; then we leave you to dream as you will, all alone, of the ones you knew q_ Inarii of Abmntiatrattim E. T.

S’untuuu- Then came jolly Summer, being dight In a thin silken cassock, colored green, That was unlined, all to be more light, And on his head a garland well beseene 0% ©ratrurfimt of ISitoo ffiall Sunday, the Twenty-Eighth day of June, Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen! What do those words recall? To most of us there comes the picture of a day of intense heat, oppressively sultry. No breath of air stirred the drooping leaves, which seemed to cling more closely to the protecting tree trunks. Even night brought but little relief and that relief was so charged with forebodings1 of the coming storm that a general restlessness prevailed, a restlessness which cul- minated an hour or so after midnight in the storm. And such a storm! It was not one of wind and rain alone, but one of grand electrical display as well. Farmers arose to care for the restless cattle; and many a city dweller lay awake, watching (with mingled terror and fascination) nature’s wonderful fireworks,— great flaming halls, white sheets1 of flame, and narrow jagged cracks of fire which seemed to rend the heavens. It was indeed a scene to call for admiration and dismay; and many an anxious thought came as the watcher heard the rattle of the fire engines as they sped on their way to fight the different fires- started by the lightning. Then about four o'clock the news spread—Rus Hall is burning! the Normal is on fire! Half-clad men and women hurried through the storm to the scene of the disaster, each one ready to offer his assistance; and many were the unrecorded deeds of courage that were performed in the early hours of that gray June morning: but no amount of labor nor of prayers could curb the hungry flames that leaped from floor to floor, and laughed defiance at the weak attempts of man. As students' and friends stood around the burning building they had loved, their hearts were very heavy; but when the sombre word went forth—Rex Tanner has been killed by a live wire—grief bowed the brave spirits of those who had toiled for this school, for they realized that through this loss S. M, T. N. had been made poor indeed. But there was1 little time for the indulgence of grief at that hour; for one thousand students must be provided for, and there was much to be done. So, with resolute courage and determination (the courage and determination of the S. M. T. N. spirit), those in authority turned their faces toward the future; and so well did they plan, and so generous were the citizens of Pittsburg that when, at eight o'clock, President Brandenburg, standing on the steps of the Industrial Arts build- ing, faced the eager body of students who had assembled to learn what was to be done, he was able to tell them that S. M. T. N. had risen to the emergency and that all would be well. Hence, he called a meeting of the faculty and students at the Orpheum Theatre at ten o’clock; and in the meantime, the faculty went into session where the plans for the future were perfected to such an extent that prac- tically all the classes then being conducted, were provided for. With this knowldge in their hearts, it was a more cheerful faculty that met the vast crowd which had more than filled the Orpheum by ten o’clock—a crowd of students who stood shoulder to shoulder to help make the remainder of the summer term more profitable than the first month had been. Amid enthusiastic applause, the plans were discussed, and the generosity of the men of Pittsburg disclosed, as one after another they offered help and sympathy. The new Metho- dist church was thrown open to the school; the city high school building was turned over unreservedly to S. M. T. N.; all the available rooms in the Y. M. C. A. building were willingly offered; and the Chamber of Commerce stood ready to provide any necessity that might arise. With so much available space at hand it was not difficult to place the classes that could not be accommodated at the Normal, in some of the rooms up town. The only difficulty then remaining was that of transportation—some means must be provided whereby students could pass from classes at the Normal to those at the High School and Y. M. C. A. buildings. This was the opportunity of the Chamber of Commerce and they willingly met it by providing special street car service free to students,—a service which enabled a student to make the exchange of classes in a few minutes. In like manner all the difficulties were conquered, so that by the time the State Board of Control and Governor Hodges arrived, there was little to tell the story of the great calamity, except the still smoking ruins of Russ Hall. Not a day of work was omitted, and not a student deserted the ranks. The future looked very bright, indeed. The library, which had been almost entirely saved, was ready for use within a day or two after the fire; a temporary auditorium with a seating capacity of three thousand, was rapidly taking shape and the free car service was in splendid working order. But a new cloud appeared in the sky the street car employees went out on a strike! This necessitated another change, as the only means of transportation which could now be provided were moving vans, which were so slow that too much time was lost between classes. Again S. M. T. N. met the emergency squarely. Six large tents were obtained; and when these were pitched on the campus and when several rooms were obtained in the houses across the street from the Normal, all the classes save the chemistry and domestic science, were again brought to the Normal. A stranger passing by, might have thought at a first glance that a gay Chautauqua was in session; and upon a nearer approach, he might well have been amused as lie listened to the various' sounds from the different tents,—-the click of typewriters, the tap, tap of feet as the girls performed their gymnastic dances, the steady drone of science lectures, and the rolling tones of English students as they dramatized the masters; while over and above it all came the sound of hammer and saw constructing new buildings, and the crash of falling bricks and iron as the tearing down and re- building of Russ Hall went steadily on. But no account of this stirring period of S. M. T. N.’s history is1 complete without some mention of the loyalty and devotion of her thousand students, who so bravely and cheerfully accepted every inconvenience to which they were sub- jected. Not a word of complaint was heard, even when long, hot walks were necessary in order to reach the Normal, and when the noonday sun beat through the canvas, making the tents almost unbearable. Indeed, all the discomforts seemed only to bring the students together and closer to S. M. T. N. So we do not wonder that President Brandenburg said of them that such another loyal body of students could not be found in all Kansas; no, not in the United States.” EILEEN FRENCH-STEELE. (Eragpiiij nt‘ dJmte 23th Not only did we hear the thunder chords Sweep o’er the sky; But vague uncertainties bade us wake And from our windows peer; So sharp that lightning! Not long till fire bells clang, Phones ring; all eyes turn southward, nor yet Could comprehend our tragedy! Dark the night before the dawn; Rain fell steadily;—but in that darkness Like a glowing monster, stood our Russ Hall! Flames shooting, heat rolling far into the sky; Her very bowels poured forth In one great mass of heat and flame! Firemen rush in,—live wires fall! And Rex, in eagerness to aid, is taken Past the borders of Immensity! How weak,—-how small we feel; How powerless! Straggling from the darkness, White faced, awe stricken, numbers increasing, Men and maidens alike heavy-hearted. No one ashamed of tears! One great homeless family bound by love And ambition! Homeless? Yea, a retreat was in the minds Of many. Our President called! Not one failed to answer. Twelve hundred strong that student mass responded! Faculty ne’er left post of duty! Six hours of leadership and all was well. The great heart of Pittsburg answered. Every effort made to share our burden! Hours of labor given joyously. Thousands of dollars placed at our disposal To reclaim Russ Hall! Tented classes broiling in the sun,— Crowded, stuffy rooms! Long hours For faculty and student, yet,— Smiles, “miles and miles of smiles.” No complaint while wading dust Or riding hacks from class to class. No tragedy of human hearts But breeds a lesson ne’er forgotten. LENA M. SMITH. Jtt HUmortttm.

'Three “M” men reported for practice at the opening of the season. Twelve eligible men composed the ’Varsity squad. If it had not been for the faithful work of the High School men, the College team would have been sadly in need of scrimmage practice. 'There were many meritorious features in the work of tike 1915 team. Out-classed in every game, with the possible exception of one, the men of 1915 played hard, clean, and fast football. The morale of the team was splendid. Every opponent on the schedule possessed unusual strength. II was unfortunate for the (Crimson and Gold that the splendid schedule was not reserved for a stronger aggregation. A team as light as the Manual's, averaging 150 pounds, could scarcely hope to meet teams 20 pounds heavier and overcome the handicap. 'The Fairmont game was the most wretched exhibition; the Friends and the Kolia games were the best. Newton, around whom many a brilliant play centered, has given Iris last season to us. He lias played the maximum number of years allotted to a football player. He enjoys the distinction of being the first and only man to play four years for S. M. T, N., then too, these years have been consecutive. Captain McNally worked for the success of the team. It was a poor season for men to come out strong. Mr, McNally's work stood out, nevertheless. “M” MEN FOR McNALLY KECK FT, SLOAN, HART, McKAY, 1914 SEASON, FEDELL, SMITH, WELLS, TANNER, NEWTON. SCHEDULE FOR 1914.

The lovesick girl on the second page, Ate some Rough On Rats,” The Weather Forecast” clouded up, And rained on the New Spring Hats.” XVI. That was too much for his weary brain. He woke and jumped upon his feet, Declaring he’d go in his own sweet way, To edit the College Sheet. MAQGE W. UTTERBACK. w I mM i uJlrr AgrtmlturF (Chtb The “Agriculture Club,” by its constant growth and efficient work, since it was first organized in 1912, has assured itself a permanent place among the organizations'of S. M, T. N. It held its first meeting this year on Sept. 16th and elected the following officers for the fall term: MU. PERCY BECKETT, L. LORENE BAILEY, President. Vice President. MISS HAZEL COBLE, MR. W. S. McCRAY, Sec.-Treas. Reporter. In January the mid-winter election occurred and the following officers were chosen for the Spring term: CHARLES ROBINSON, President. MISS MARY GREEN, Sec.-Treas. MR. SWAN HTGHBOCGH, Vice President. C. O. SMITH, Reporter. The purpose of this organization is to promote the investigation and discussion of scientific and practical agricultural problems; to promote or bring about a closer associa- tion of those persons interested in the various phases of rural and agricultural life. The Club followed out its regular custom of meeting every Wednesday noon and serving lunch to those present, while a prearranged program was being rendered. The Club, also, took up several new features this year. It saw fit to get up a play, which was presented during the “Corn and Poultry Show,” at the school auditorium. Later this play was presented by the club at several of the surrounding towns. The play, “Back to the Farm,” was a great success; it showed the advantages of scientific and modern farming in a dramatic way. We believe the Club has a great future before it, since there are many great things to be done along the line of its work; and because the problems of the farmer is becoming a state and national problem and demands the attention of all schools and colleges, especially Normal colleges whose students are to teach the boy and girl of today to meet these agriculture problems face to face.

T, N, which stands for Christian character, lofty ideals, helpfulness, high standards in speech, athletics and living. Regular meetings are held on Tuesday morning of each week at which time some one, who has a live message for young men, speaks. Besides members of the faculty, student body, and ministers of the city, General Secretary Stirratt and Boys5 Work Sec- retary Hartford, of the City Y. M. C. A., Dr. H. H. Bogle, Attorney J. P. Curran and others have given talks. But this is not the only field of activity of the Association. In conjunction with the Y. W. C. A, a reception to new students was given shortly after school opened in the fall; and another at the opening of the Spring term. These receptions were perhaps the greatest social functions of the year for the whole student body. Other events in this line were a weioer roast with the Y. W. and a stag social. The Y. M. C. A. has the management of the Lecture Course and each year brings a splendid variety of talent to offer the students and the people of Pittsburgh This year was no exception and for next year a course has been booked which is even better. Two men were sent from the Y. M. C. A. to the State College Conference at Ottawa March 26-28; they brought back new ideas and inspiration for the local work. Homer PI. Grafton, State Secretary of the College Department of the Y. M. C. A., visited the institution April 20-21. He addressed about seventy men in a meeting Tues- day morning, the largest regular meeting of the year, and spoke in chapel on Wednesday morning. A large number of students met him during his stay here. At the Third District High School Track Meet, held on the Normal field April 24, the visiting high school men were met at the trains by members of the Y. M. organization and a training table lunch was given at noon for them and the officials of the meet. Following this, short talks were made by O. K. Smith, president of the Y. M. C. A., Coach Fuhrer, Captain Tanner of I lie football team and Clyde C, Hartford. Dale Welling- ton of Columbus responded on behalf of the high school men. Plans are being made for sending several men to the summer training conference at Kstes Park. Although the Y. M. C. A. has bad no room which it could call its own this year, and has been working under difficulties like most every department of the school, this has been a very successful year. The membership is the largest in the history of the organization, and tiie general condition is very satisfactory with the outlook bright for next year.

We have enjoyed having with us many excellent speakers, among whom were Dr. Trahue, Mrs. Thompson Miss Martin Mrs. Gallyon, Mr. Brandenburg and other faculty members. The average attendance at these meetings lias been about one hundred and fifty, an increase of sixty over last year. We have an active membership of over eighty this year against fifty of last year. Our social committee have rendered excellent service. Near the opening of school we united with the Y. M. C. A. in giving a reception to the student body. In a few weeks this was followed by a picnic. After the return from Thanksgiving vacation we enjoyed a basket supper. During Miss Riggs’, our field secretary, stay with us a reception was given in her honor. At the opening of the Spring term a reception was given for tha new students by both young women’s and young men’s organizations. Mrs. Ringle kindly consented to take charge of a mission study class, and has made it very instructive and entertaining. No organization in S. M. T. N. stands more for the best interests of the whole student body than the Y. W. C. A. It gives to student and faculty a friendship that is true, permanent and rich; and helps each girl to live up to her best, to become a leader in school activities of comradeship, dignity and purity, and to live an attractive Christian life.

Also, the floors of the north and central parts of the building have their wooden beams embedded in concrete, making the halls entirely fire prodf. For each floor, between the north and central parts of the building, a fire-proof door lias been planned. The central and south sections of the building will be made of fire-proof material throughout. Re-enforced concrete posts will support the new east walls of the central part, and the middle part of the south wall. The floors are to consist of steel beams em- bedded in concrete with re-enforced concrete flooring. The roof is to be made of steel and concrete, and will have the above mentioned eight feet of brick walls raised above its sides. Three stories of the entire building were reconstructed into their general form by the end of October. Much internal alteration is designed for the new Russ Hall. In the basement (called the first floor by some) the gymnasium remains as before. As one enters the front entrance hall, he will be greeted by a very .beautiful white marble stairway, in place of tlie beloved wooden one. The library will occupy all but two small rooms of the first floor of the south section,, these rooms of the library are to be connected by open archways. The office has already been enjoying increased space, having annexed two rooms just south of its former ones. These are occupied by the accrediting committee and the registrar. The chemistry department has been enjoying practically the whole north part of the second floor. The domestic science department is an equal competitor, choosing as its field the south end of this floor. The auditorium, which occupied this floor will be made into three large class rooms. The north end of the third floor has been remodeled into two elegant society halls—Manus Vere� and Porterian. The central part of the building will contain a recital hall, equal in size to the old auditorium, but without the gallery.—Mnnualite. The September students will enjoy the completed new structure. iFail Alumnar (CARTOON CALENDAR.) “What would we do in this world of ours, Were it not for the dreams ahead r” Sept. 6-7—Enrollments begin. “Pay Tuition,” “Fill Out Blank,” “See Mrs. Mitchell,” Etc.

Slip tyattenm iCttprarg urirtg FOUNDED IN 1903 1« N. PIERCE, Pres. NINA FAYE WALDROP, Yice-Pres. JUANITA COLUMBIA, Sec’y S. JOE WILLIAMS, Sergeant-At-Arms The history of the Portereans, is the history of S. M. T. N. In her every struggle they have helped; in her every joy they have shared. The society began almost when the school did. Let us hope it will continue us long as the school does. The Porterean Literary Society was named in honor of Senator Porter and it seems to us that it has been inoculated with some of the energy, the fighting spirit, if you will, that has marked its illustrious patron during all his legislative career, especially during the last session. We started this year under adverse conditions. We met at odd times and in odd places. Consequently interest was lax and attendance correspondingly irregular. It is due to our able president, Mr. Eriney and his fellow officers, that the society was kept alive during this time. The approach of the inter-society contest in Dramatic Art and Declamation brought a stir in activity and the night of the contest saw an enthusiastic group of Portereans present. Our new hall was opened about this time, giving us a definite place to meet and furnishing an incentive for regular meeting. The winning of both events, and being in our new home, were the chief factors in rebuilding the society. We have now a list of energetic, interested members and a corps of hard working, efficient officers. The Portereans believe that literary work is an enjoyable and necessary part of our education. We believe that organized society furnishes the best opportunity for this work. Remembering these things, our aims are easily stated. We aim to advance the best interest of S. M, T. N., to make every student luere a member of some literary society, preferably of the Porterean; to make every member of every society an active member; and thus to stimulate an interest in all literary work in general and Porterean literary work in particular.

K. SMITH VEATCH BRANHAM SLOAN The Alpha 4 have been very progressive during' the past year, and from all appearance, seem to have made the “hit” of the season in the musical world of S. M. T. N. This Alpha 4 is made up of four Freshmen, who are very active in all school affairs Of these four, each one is capable of rendering a solo, which is unusual for a college quartette. Numerous dates for lecture courses and other entertainments have been filled by the quartette this season, namely: the trips to Edna, West Mineral, Cherokee, Parsons, Galena and numerous home dates with the Y. M. C. A. and S. M. T. N. 'Plie class of music put out by the Alpha 4 is of the highest quality and their ranking is none lower than the Panama Quartette, which made its appearance on the S. M. T. N. stage this winter. We are rejoicing in the fact that all of the Alpha boys will return next year and, having profited by their past year’s experience, will far surplus any quartette within the boundry of Kansas. So three cheers for the Alpha 4, iHalp (£1pp QUitlr One of the liveliest organizations of the Normal during the past year has been tin Male Glee Club. The club was organized by a number of men who meant business and were determined to accomplish something during the year. In order to help boost the club, four of the most enthusiastic and best workers were elected officers: James H. Branham was chosen president and K. K. Nelson vice president. It may be truly said that these men have proven to be good, efficient workers and boosters. Janies Eld ridge was chosen as the most noted scribe and as the Lord of the Exchequer, W. L. Ringo cannot be too highly complimented. Under the leadership of Professor Walter McCray, the new head of the music depart- ment, the members of the club started to work on concert pieces, and before the close of the first semester the boys were singing selections from several of the Grand Operas. During the first term the club made several appearances before the public, which always won them high honors, not only for themselves, but for their director as well. As time progressed and their reputation grew, the demand for club concerts increased. In the early Spring, trips were made to Parsons, Galena and the Crawford County High School, where the club people were met by large and appreciative audiences. At the Spring Festival the Glee Club was given a prominent place on the program at the concert on May 7. The club is composed of sixteen of the best trained voices from the Normal and we may well say that only a few will be absent from the organization next year. First Tenors— O. K.

Two full days were given to the meeting and a fine program was given. � Among the noted speakers who appeared on the program were Dr. Henry Su -allo of New York, who addressed the city superintendents on “The Elementary School Curriculum and Social Demands.” Dr. Nathan Schaffer of Pennsylvania, gave his address, “Work and Play in Education.” Dr. Frank Levitt of Chicago, Dr. Frank Dixon of Chicago and II.

Splendid exhibits from various schools were on display. And many of these same schools brought their boys to enter the contests and tournaments. About seventeen hundred teachers were here to enjoy the rich treat. —Mahmutite. (Corn atiit Jlmtltry § lunu—tlnmrsttr Art attlt Swnn.' txlnbttn The Fourth Annual Interstate Corn and Poultry Show was held at the Normal, December first to eleventh. Two new features in connection with this were the short courses especially planned and given to meet the needs of the farmers and their wives, and the commercial exhibits of the business enterprises. The farmers and towns-people were given an address of welcome by Mr. Spicer, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Pres. W. A. Brandenburg, on the first night of the show. On Tuesday evening the Chamber of Commerce gave a reception to the public. The Commercial exhibits were sent by a large number of Pittsburg merchants, and were arranged around the sides of the Auditorium. This year’s exhibition of sewing vastly excelled those of the previous years. Forty prizes were offered. The most exquisite fancy work, including all kinds of dining room linen, guest towels, cushions, bedspreads, etc., were displayed. Also a good showing of cakes, bread, pastries, etc., were exhibited by town and country people. Classes for women in cookery and sewing were conducted. Classes for men included reading of blue prints� hanging of gates, general use and repairing of farm tools and machinery. This was by far the most successful show of its kind ever held at S. M. T. N.—Manualite. Priutanj ©raining IGragitr Early in the semester it became evident that a closer fellowship among those training for primary work would enrich the course. Without a dissenting voice, an4 organization was effected and the Primary Teachers’ League became one of the permanent features of the Methodology department, A banquet during the first semester and a picnic during the second semester constituted the regular social functions.

N, was organized Jan. 15th, 1914, for the purpose of getting together to discuss industrial problems. Mr. Lotz was the firsA president and Mr. Slattery, secretary. Weekly meetings were held until April 15th, when the club ad- journed “sine die.” During the first semester of the present school year,, the. instructors of the industrial subjects, realizing the need and knowing the value of such an organization, decided to try once more to organize a permanent society for the advancement of Industrial Arts and for a closer cooperation between the various branches of industrial work. These instructors drafted a constitution and invited to a banquet a group of students especially interested in industrial work. These students and the instructors mentioned, became charter members of the organization and proceeded to sign the constitution, elect officers and prepare for regular society work. A permanent organization was effected Jan. 27th and the following officers were elected: President, Karl Nelson; Vice President, Fred McGinnis; Treasurer, Professor Whitesitt; Secretary, K. Q. Brothers; Assistant Secretary, Professor Shirk. The object of the organization as stated in the constitution is to encourage the ad- vancement of industrial education by meeting for the discussion of industrial subjects, by the publication of such matters as may be deemed desirable, and by establishing fraternal relations among the friends of industrial education, and by granting the privilege of mem- bership to such students as during their course have given special promise of future achievement. The Industrial Arts Society has held regular meetings every two weeks since its organization, at which time numerous topics relating to industrial work have been dis- cussed and lectures by members of the society and others have been enjoyed. Some of the topics discussed have been: ‘“The Use of Text-Books in Manual Training;” “The Value of Exhibits of Manual Training Work;” “How to Secure Proper Respect for In- dustrial Subjects,” Among the lectures which the society has listened to, was one by Professor Shirk on “Street Lighting;” one by Professor Sebeib on “Forestry as Related to Manual Training;” and one by Mr. Desboime of the United Iron Works, on “Commercial Treatment of Iron.” The society was organized with twenty charter members, but this number has in- creased until the membership at the close of the year comprises about thirty-five members. The honorary nature of the organization, and the character of the work which it has undertaken, should entitle it to a position of unusual influence among the men of the school. With the start received this year and the impetus gained from new members in the fall, it is safe to say that the Industrial Arts Society will have a prominent and abiding part in the school life of S. M. T. N. Jlniiuatnal (Elub toy Fifth Row: BICE. LOGAN. (fiii-iiprratut?

Iras long been in need of a student bookstore in order to keep pace with other schools of Kansas. Various methods have been devised to meet the re- quirements, but none could fully meet the needs of the school. Information concerning co-operative book stores in student's hands elsewhere was collected, and the result is the “Student's Co-Operative Book Store, now in operation. The organization meets the ap- proval of the students in many ways. It is “of,” “for, and “by” the students. It is near the Normal and no time is wasted going via .street car or flagstone route to buy a lead pencil. At the bidding of the student body, the four officers started a canvass for stock- holders on Jan. 27th, 11)15. The membership is increasing and bids fair to become second to none of the school organizations. It is not the purpose of the store to compete in any way with the merchants of the city, but merely to accommodate the students. I 0(q 1 W. fi.

Early in the school year the debating spirit manifested itself, and a club was organized with eighteen charter members- Weekly meetings were held and some splendid work was done by the society under the direction of Prof. Ralph Edson Graham, the culmination of the year’s work being the dual debate between the Fort Hays and Pittsburg Normals the night of April 9th. The question discussed was, “Resolved, That the United Scutes Should Adopt a System of Compulsory Arbitration for the Settlement of all Labor Disputes.” NORMAL AUDITORIUM, HAYS, KANS, Affirmative—Fort Hays.

W. h. BINGO II % Slip £ ptmtr” One of the gratifying: developments noticeable around S. M. T. N., is the increased interest manifested in public speaking and debate, and in order that those interested in this work might secure additional practice along these lines, the Senate was organized. Its personnel embraces leaders from the various classes of the school, l'he men who won honors for their college both in oratory and debate are members of the club, while a number of assistant teachers from different departments are affiliated with the organization. The club is conducted along the most democratic lines possible, one of the novel features being rotation in office. Each member presides over one meeting, which gives every one not only the theory of conducting business sessions but the practice as well. Considerable attention is given to parliamentary law, and the drill will enable the mem- bers to assume their rightful places as leaders in their respective communities after their college days shall have become only a pleasant memory. The aim and purpose of the Senate is not to compete with the older organizations of S. M. T. N., but to give those who are interested in public speaking and debate a chance to develop the most valuable asset that they may possess. t OmSLL JONES SHOEMAKER BULLER QUACKENBTTSH BICE RINGO LEMON CAREY WEBB BARKER Sntrk Strain nf 1915 Bad weather interfered witli the spring training so that it was very late before we saw any activities in this line of athletics. Some of the fellows with lots of nerve braved the storms, however, so that the interclass track meet saw a Tew men in con- dition. Considering the drawbacks, we are well satisfied with track prospects for the rest of the year. John Lance, a college Freshman, broke the school record in this meet, for pole vault and high jump.

IN NIS BRANHAM Mag Elati fagrant “Come ye youths and maidens gay And crown the Queen of Maye.” According to custom the Sophomores always have charge of the May Day Fete, and this year planned what promised to be a splendid program entitled “A Colonial Pageant” in six episodes. Tlie first episode, “The Founding of Manhattan,” gives us a picture of those early settlers and their conflict with the Indians. The second, “The Rescue of Hadley,” has its scene laid in a church, where the Puritans are singing the Doxology. Riadley, a spy in the bushes, warns them the Indians are coming. Then ensues a fierce battle; and after the victory the Fathers hastened back to embrace their wives. (We understand most of the Sophomore boys wished to he in this episode.) “The Witch Scene” includes the Weavers’ Dance. In this scene the Puritan idea of witchcraft is made clear, and the girl is sentenced to be burned at the stake. “The Courtship of Miles Standish,” is familiar to all. Anna Yates makes a charming “Priscilla,” while Guy Jones as “John Alden,” and Mr. Nelson as “Miles Standish,” are equally good. The fifth part opens with a ball-room scene in Old Virginia, where a stately Virginia Reel is in progress. The sixth and final episode is “The Crowning of the May Queen,” and is of course, the most important of all. Pretty Grace Crawford is a dainty little lady, as sweet and charming as “blossoms” could wish to serve as May Queen. The fourteen “blossoms” in attendance have been chosen from the Model School, as has been the crown bearer, A court “Fool” and “Jester” will also be in attendance. A chalk talk by Mr. Buller, a solo by Miss Zoe Beal and other special music completed the program. Souvenirs of American flags and paper flowers were given to the guests. Iramattr Art (EUtb.

Helen Hayes THE MESSIAH Handel’s most successful and best known oratorio, “The Messiah,” was composed in the year 1741, in twenty-four days, from August 22 to September 14. It was first pro- duced at a concert, given for charitable purposes, at Dublin, Ireland, April 13 1742, Handel himself conducting the performance. 'I’lie orchestral prelude opens with a series of chords which in their abrupt and de- liberate shocks of startling harmony, immediately arrest the attention and inspire the hearer with a certain majestic anticipation. Then follows a short fugue which prepares one for the devotional contemplation about to follow. Upon this temper the words “Comfort Ye My People,” fall like a refreshing spring day, and is followed by the prophecy, “Thus .Saith the Lord.” Immediately human interest is kindled—with a merry noise of joyful encouragement, we hear a vast multitude, singing at their work, “Every Valley Shall Be Exalted” their Ups send forth “The Glory of the Lord Shall Be Revealed.” The story of the conception of the Virgin is the next picture and all the pomp and majesty of a King is withdrawn, leaving simply the Virgin and the Child. We turn our minds to the hillsides around Bethlehem. It is toward evening; the flocks are winding slowly toward the wells before settling down for the night. The melody breathes peace, we hear the faint tinkle of the last bells die away in the distance and all is .'dill. The flocks rest, the shepherds watch beside them in the darkness, when lo! the angel of the Lord comes upon them—the gloom is broken with tints of heavenly color and the night is filled with music. The accompaniment to the recitative, “and lo!” gives a sensa- tion of the mustering of the angel chorus and when “Glory to God” rings out, the air seems full of visions. The second part of the Messiah is occupied with the sufferings and exaltation of Christ, the spread and final triumph of tlu gospel and this part opens with the finest piece of choral declamation in existence, “Behold the Lamb of God.” Instead of the triumphant king, one appears “without form or comeliness,” one made acquainted with grief. It is a tragic spectacle and sorrow seems to pervade the air but the floodgates of feelings are loosed and after the air, “He Was Dispised and Rejected of Men,” the chorus, “Surely He Has Borne Our Griefs,” is poured forth. How the world laughed him to scorn, the sad spectacle of the crucifixion is portrayed only to be followed by the great thrill of triumph “Glory to God in the Highest,” wheih makes a grand climax to the excitement and strain of the wonderful death and resurrection, the “Hallelujah Chorus” stands alone. The third part of the Messiah—yet the interest does not flag. “Since By Man Came Death,” and “As In Adam All Die,” are two doctrinal quartets that have never been sur- passed. While in sweetness and solemn force “The Trumpet Shall Sound,” will probably retain its popularity as long as the silver toned trumpet exists. The Oratorio closes with the most florid chorus, “Worthy is the Lamb.” It is a fitting and dignified majestic close. The oratorio opens with the hope of “Comfort” and ends with full calm joy of attainment.—Manualite. This oratorio was given in the Normal Auditorium, TJiursday and Friday evenings, May 6th and 7th. 12-0 (Cmnnu'utnratunt Dau banquet The Annual Commemoration Day Banquet always proves a treat too valuable to be missed by students of S.

Conference will come June 11-1.8 this year and the Y. W. Confer- ence will he August 24 to September 3. Delegates of former years say that no student ought to be in college for the second year without attending this great summer conference and that the money necessary to go is a lifetime investment in life-long inspiration. Nowhere else can a committee member or officer get such an inexhaustible supply of information about particular committee work. There are few such opportunities of hearing leaders who are doing the big things in Christian work today and of talking to them about one’s personal problems. Seldom do we have such opportunities for mountain- top experiences and clean wholesome amusement. There are few, if any time in the life of a student, which will mean more to him or her than just those ten days in the heart of the Rockies. S. M. T. N. hopes to be represented by several delegates to both conferences this year who will be with us next fall to give to us the high ideals and inspiration they received. JESSE PROCTER, Editor. H. J. PLAGENS, Business Mgr. HOWARD TALBERT, Athletic Editor DELLA EVANS, Literary Editor. TANA MI TEAlt, Art Editor. Oiltr Normal 2?tglj irliool The department of secondary education in S. M. T. N. sprang into activity at the beginning of last year and has continued that activity throughout the present year. The following officers were elected for the year: FIRST SEMESTER. President, - - - JESS PROCTER Vice President, - - HOWARD TALBOT Secretary and Treasurer - NANNIE JONES SECOND SEMESTER. President, - - JESS PROCTER Vice President, - - WILLIAM WEBB Secretary and Treasurer - - MARY RYAN The Normal High School has boosted for every movement that meant advancement for the school. To the president, Mr. Procter, is due the praise for a large part of this enthusiasm. On every occasion he lias been present with an abundance of school spirit and never failed to impart a large share of it to the rest of the High School. They have one of the most active and progressive literary societies in the Normal, holding good, entertaining programs every two weeks. They have also made good in Athletics, having teams in football, baseball and track—teams that other schools have been unable to cope with. The department has instituted an annual medal contest in oration, declamation and debate and each year the department is taking more interest in this activity, making it one of the features of the year. In debate especially is the High School taking an interest, this interest being manifested in the dual debate with Girard High School in which one of the High School teams was victorious. ------o-- THE LOYAL NORMAL HIGH SCHOOL. I don’t know how they are on creeds, I never hear them say; But they’ve got a smile that fits their face, And they wear it every day. If things go wrong they won’t complain, They just try to see the jokes. And they’re always finding little ways, Of helping other folks. You’ll find that if you meet them It is always worth your while To cultivate a friendship With our N. II. S.’s smile. —(Manualite.)

Five years in Europe Now homeward bound on the “Kanza.” It’s our second day out and has been as eventful a one as yesterday was otherwise. Last night my watch stopped, so as soon as I awoke, I arose, dressed, and hastened down to the dining hall. I reached it about half an hour too soon, and as I entered, I saw a short fat man, standing in the center of the room with a floury print of an extremely large hand on his back. I thought I had seen that fellow before! Then he turned and started toward me. Something in his dignified walk told me it was Bill Webb. Before I could stop myself, 1 had called, “Why hello Bill!” “Hello Della,” said he and took me at once into the kitchen where he proudly displayed, in the form of a woman twice his size in all directions, dressed in a large blue apron, busily engaged in making biscuits, his wife. My first thought was, “That’s the origin of the floury print,”— my second, “Where have I seen her before?” Then it slowly dawned upon me, as they stood there smiling, that she was our studious Marie Maletz. What I have done the rest of the day I can’t say, but tonigiit I attended an entertain- ment given by a famous opera troupe. I thought of nothing in particular until my at- tention was drawn by the announcement of the first number, “A solo by Madame Marga- retlia De lioche Oldhamme.” To think that one of my former classmates would develop into such an exquisite beauty, and sing as enehantingly as she did! How much greater was my surprise? and pleasure when I heard that the second number was a dance, “The Butterfly,” by one of the greatest artists of the day, “Mademoiselle Mary Vivian Utzano- witch,” whom I recognized as Mary Utz. At this rate I'll be surprise proof by the time we reach New York. Oct 12, J925, J0:00 P. M.—New York in sight. Today is my last day on board. I have spent the greatest part of it bidding friends goodbye. Oct. J3, 1925, IJ :30 P, M,—New York. Of all unbelievable things! Here I am at the home of Ralph Kiehl! This morning as we landed, hearing the cry of “Cab! Cab!” I hastened to secure one and found the cabby an ancient looking man, whom I recognized as our old class president, Ralph Kiehl. I spent the day shopping and this evening Mr Kiehl took me to his home. I had made vain inquiries, as to whom I should expect to see, but all he said was “wait and see.” As he ushered me in, 1 saw a pair of slippers warming by an open fire, and then Pearl Walker came running to greet us. The supper showed she had not forgotten her Domestic Science training at S. M. T. N. Before retiring this evening she took me to the nursery and proudly and fondly exhibited a sweet two year old boy named “Ivor.” Oct. 7, m5, 1:00 A. M,—New York. Another day of surprises. Last evening I attended a reception given by the business men of New York City. The seat of honor was occupied by Henry Plagens, Esquire. By his side sat his beautiful and entertaining wife, whom I did not recognize until she was called on to give a toast. By her low melodious voice I knew her to be the girl who was once Alice Geier. Oct. JS, J925, 9:30 P. M. Hurrah! After the circus! Haven’t lost the skip spiyt of S. M. T. N. As I was on the point of entering a side show, someone called, “Hey Della, come see CLASS PROPHESY— (Continued) ray fat woman!” Of course by the voice I knew it was Leroy Andrew. The fat woman turned out to be Marie Brady (weight 400 lbs., age 43). As I was leaving “Andy,” the barker, told me he had never married as he “considered women too jealous,” “Take it from me,” he continued, “you ought to have your fortune told.” The fortune teller was the usual circus ‘gypsy’ and by the exaggerated things she told me, I knew her to be Adelaide McClellan. I thought 1 had seen enough for one circus, hut as I was passing out the main entrance, the persistent “squalling” of the youngster attracted my attention. Tins quiet piece of humanity was the personal property of Glenn Matter anti Anna Broad- lick. The child’s nurse informed me that Mr. Everett Matter, the baby’s distinguished uncle, was doing chemical research work at the University of Arkansas, with our old Floy Hudson to inspire him. Oct 21, 1925, 11:45 P M.—St Louis Travel, travel, travel. Among the sights of this city the one that interested me most was the Boys’ Academy with Dr. Bohannan as president. On interviewing him I found that his Wife, known to us as Vera White was “chief cook and bottle washer” in the institution. He told me also that Henry Minges and Gladys Cropper, now Mrs. Minges, had just returned from their honeymoon spent on the broad expanse of the Mississippi. Oct. 22, 1925, 8:50 P M. Bumpety-bump-bump. Bound for Kansas City. Just before the train pulled out of St. Louis this morning, 1 noticed a queer specimen —coatless, hat unrecognizable as such, clothing as a whole showing plainly that no woman’s tender care had been expended upon it, his beaming face turned toward me as if he knew me—Jesse Procter of Chicopee, Kansas. He enlightened me as to the whereabouts of a good many of our old friends, for he makes frequent tours of the country on freight trains free of charge. First, that Bill Cook is still undecided between Deane Conlay and Marion McGarvie; second, that Clara Strickland is a Salvation Army singer who attracts a great deal of attention, especially of the opposite sex; third, that Bonnie Wilson, entirely heartbroken since she broke off relations with the “French,” has sought refuge in a convent. Oct 22, 1925, 4:00 P, M.—Nearer My Home to Thee. While waiting this morning in the rest room at Kansas City, the monotony was re- lieved by a great bustle, everyone falling over every other one to make way for the lady whom they proclaimed in loud whispers to be the wife of U. S. Senator Bird. When I finally found myself within a mile of the great lady, she condescendingly told me: “Yes, your old friend Mrs. Floatman (our Floatman’s wife),-—Oh, I believe you used to call her Lula Stevens—is my favorite servant; and Eleanor Redmand is head old maid at the “Old Maids’ Home” here, while Hazel Lyness lias charge of the matrimonial bureau at the same institution.” But this is not the only sight 1 saw today. After I was comfortably seated on the train, two immensely, yes tremendously, fat men entered. One seated himself very care- fully, and the second tried to deposit his 560 pounds beside the 630 pounds of the former in an effort to break the seat, when the first said rather loudly, “Say, Arnold, don’t you know this seat won’t hold us two? Get over there,” indicating the seat facing him. The “Arnold” was Arnold Gude, the other, John Lance. Upon questioning them as to their occupation Mr. Gude said, “We’re traveling salesmen.” “Traveling salesmen,” said I. “Yes,” said he, “selling Mennen’s Baby Food.” I could not refrain from laughing, hut John indignantly $aid, “See here, young lady, “Mennen’s Baby Food is all right. Just look what it has done for us!” 6 iriglr rlinoi Srark GALPINE SMITH ANDREW ROE FLO ATMAN I’AINTEIt HELLER MILE URN ROACH PROCTER VAN NORSDALL TALBERT KIEHL PLAGENS Tlie High School Track team was organized early in March. Weir Van Norsdal was elected captain. The team’s first meet was with Pittsburg High School. We were de- feated by a score of 56-59, Two other meets are scheduled and the team is training hard. We have four men for sprints, hurdles and relay, two mile men, two on the half mile, three on weights and two on jumps. HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL The Normal High School, through the efforts of the coach, gained entrance to the Southeast Kansas High School Trolley League. We tied Columbus ( -( , the first game, lost to Pittsburg 5-3, also to Cherokee 8-9, and defeated Girard 7-6. This giving us second place in the league. Much credit is due Captain Harvey who was unanimously elected early in the season. Professor Logan was chosen as chaperone of the team and certainly did justice to the team. Ifiijlt jsrluwl If mil UixU The High School Football season opened wit!� twenty men reported for practice of which six were veterans, Orson Bird was elected captain by the team of 13. And early in the season had the team handling the ball with speed and accuracy superior to any of our class. Leroy Andrew was elected manager and with the aid of the Coacty arranged an excellent schedule of seven games. Our first game was at Columbus, Ivans. There we met with a heavier team, but at 3:30 the whistle blew and we met our first battle which we lost by a small margin. The next game was the following week with the same team on our home ground. This time we defeated them 7-0. We tried for a third game on a neutral field but the arrangements could not be made. The third game was at Galena and by the aid of the sidelines they held us to a scoreless tie. The following Friday after a hard journey to Webb City we were defeated by a score of 13 to 7. With new pep and our old teammates, Van Norsdall and Andrew back in the game, we defeated Galena li. S. 87 to 0. The following week, with our army dwindled to twelve men, we lost to Fort Scott. Procter was out with a broken collar bone, Schlichting was out with a crippled knee, Cornell, Floatman and Dunbar had minor injuries which held them back. Our last game was with Caney High School on Thanksgiving Day, at Caney. The score was (5 to 6, the wind interfering in each attempt to kick goal. Throughout the entire season the N. II. S. upheld the most important point of football, that is, (stay with them until the whistle blows). This was proven at Caney when with the score 6 to 0 for Caney, 80 yards to go and three minutes of play, we rushed the ball over for the touchdown which tied the score. Next year the High School will not regret the loss of the four men who hold seats in the Senior Class, but rather it is a pleasure to give up these men to our College. One of the greatest events of all was on December 3rd, when the football boys were rewarded for their hard practice, and faithful efforts throughout the season by a well prepared banquet which was prepared by the girls of the High School Department. After the entertainment thirteen men were rewarded with the much coveted emblem (The “N”), Top Row: FLOATMAN, FLOATMAN, DUNBAR Second Row: TALBERT, MONDREG AN. CORNELL, PLA0ENS, SMITH, PROCTER, Third Row: ANDREWS, BIRD, MATHIAS. VAN NORSDALL PHILIPS. Fourth Row: SCIILH HTING, ROE. ujlj riimd Atlilrltns During the year of ’14 and 15 the High School department made its best showing in athletics of any previous year; the football team was heavier and faster, and met with a better schedule. The team played only two games at home but on visiting trips their work was witnessed by many Alumni of S. M. T. N., and the remarks ane from those who have been our winners; the high school is now winning us honors, but the honor is not so great for the present hut it is for the near future, and due to the clear record, the good fellowship, the high rank among other high schools of the State brings but one verdict from the Alumni, Students and High Schools vi� ; S. M. T. N. Athletic history has a fuller chapter to write for 1916 which will read as follows: Winners for ’16-20. Who? H. S. squad of T5. Why? Still maintain their H. S. pep. Where? Any University gridiron. No basketball was played this year as the great fire which deprived us of many other privileges, also took our gymnasium. Track and Baseball were big features this year. The baseball te£m took second place in the Southeast Kansas Trolley League. In the meet with Pittsburg High School, six records were broken. On the 21st the High School will hold their third meet which will be at Columbus, Kans., with Cherokee County High School.

Almost the entire body of High School students were present at this meeting, as has been the case at each and every meeting since. It was decided at that time, that the Society should meet twice a month, on Friday, alternately at the fourth and fifth periods and the meetings have been held in tins order ever since, never having been postponed for any reason whatever. Interest and enthusiasm are very much in evidence among the members of this Society. They have had many interesting and instructive programs at their regular meetings; and the one given by them in chapel on February 17, (in which many of the faculty members saw themselves as others see them), was one of the most entertaining programs given by any of the organizations this year. This Society was named in honor of Prof. It. S. Russ, first principal of S. M. T. N., and we hope that it may always keep this name in appreciation of the one who did so much to set our institution on a firm foundation. PROF. W. E. RINGLE, Supervisor. PROF. R, E. GRAHAM, Critic.

N. and to her great increase of enrollment, the Commercial Department has been greatly enlarged this year. With this development the instructor found it necessary for the best interests of those who intend to teach Com- mercial Subjects and those who intend to go out into the Business World to take positions in offices, to work as an organized body, so at the beginning of the second semester a Commercial Club was organized. Since the first meeting was held this organization has grown continually. The meet- ings are held twice a month during the chapel period on Thursdays. The students who are taking Commercial Work now have an advantage over those of the past, as at each meeting the requisites and necessities of a business man or woman are discussed and explained in detail by experienced men and women including the prominent business men of Pittsburg. This gives the student a broader idea of how lie may prepare himself for the demands of a successful business man. We feel sure that by the interest and enthusiasm shown by the commercial students that the Commercial Club of S. M. T. N. will grow stronger and larger from this time. The Commercial Club was addressed by a number of business men and others during the year, on subjects of vital interest to young people preparing for business life. Also at each meeting there were musical and literary numbers given. Several social events were given. Miss Edith Baysinger entertained the Club with a Valentine Party at her home on West Madison. Miss Phcobia Wisker entertained with a St. Patrick Party in honor of the C. C. ball boys. This was a very enjoyable occasion for all. April 30 the Social Committee gave the Club a very pleasant surprise by serving punch and wafers at the meeting. Then last, hut not least, the hayrack ride for the Club. The Commercial Club ball team made an excellent record during the season, under the management of Henry Plagens, manager, and Earl Havey, captain. Lack of space forbids us telling of their victories. m Arknmul?i� grmpnt Ileali zing the collossal task of building a book of this nature and magnitude, the Junior Class of S. M. T. N. wishes to express its thanks to those who have so liberally contributed to the 1915 Kanza. We desire especially to express our appreciation to Mr, Wilkins, and the members of the Art Classes for their contributions in the way of advice and cartoons; to the faculty, students and Alumni for their assistance in the form of special articles, to all students who have so kindly loaned their kodak prints for cuts, and to the loyal students of S. M. T. N. who have aided financially with their subscriptions. Finally we wish to express some feeling of satisfaction which we entertain toward the staff. We realize that all of them, from the editor-in-chief down, have given their very best to make this book what it is. They have tried to please you and we hope their effort has met with your approval. With these few appreciative words the class of 1916 gives you the 1915 Kanza.

When it’s flipped and flapped and flopped against the floor, When it’s ground into a powder and is stirred into a chowder, When you realize there isn’t any core, When it’s pulpified impalably and squeezed Till it’s drier than the dry Sahara sands. When it flutters like the tatters that are breezed, On the scarecrow in the pleasant prairie lands. When it’s twisted, twirled and twiddled, When it’s grilled and gouged and griddled, When it’s roasted and is toasted Till it’s crumbled to a crisp. When it’s sizzled and fizzled To the shadow of a whisp, When it’s jumped upon and bumped upon And thumped upon and battered, When it’s tumbled up and jumbled up And rumbled up and scattered, When it’s smashed and crashed and hashed, When it’s lashed and gashed and dashed, Exploded, Caroded, Knocked, Shocked, Perforated, decimated, Desicated, salivated.
