■ «H v' 9: ?« KS«3:381 ■ Jfaframirii HIS book is the product of an untold number of hours of devoted thought and effort. We have attempted to record the achievements of the year in a manner which will make this a book of mem- ories—memories which will make you forever re- call your happy undergraduate days and cause you to live again in the halls of S. M. T. N In addition we trust that it will serve to give you a richer un- derstanding and more vivid picture of the true spir- it of S. M. T. N. We hope that in the future, when being tossed 'mid the surging billows of life’s strug- gle that this book, through the memories it arouses, will serve to bind you closer to your Alma-Mater. And if we have succeeded in a measure in doing this we will feel amply repaid for the time an,d effort expended. We do not claim perfec- tion. All that we ask is that you treat our virtues a little kindly and our faults a little blindly. To Stu- dents, Faculty and Friends everywhere we ex- tend our most happy Greetings j . !

M. '1'. N.”—Hattie Moore Mitchell. On the evening of September 30, 1915, Russ Hall was formally opened to all the friends of the institution. The purpose was to dedi- cate the new building and welcome to the institution the numerous friends of the school. ‘ The dedication was a success in every particular. A large crowd was present and on every hand one heard nothing but words of praise for this—the finest administration building in the state of Kansas. An interesting program in the shape of a band concert was given early in the evening at the auditorium where the crowd first assembled. Before dismissal here the crowd was informed that it would have to go to the front doors of Russ Hall to gain entrance—the rear doors having been purposely locked in order that all might get the full effect of the beautiful marble stairway at the front entrance. The building was es- pecially beautiful on the night in question, each room being flooded with light while a stream of light flowed across the campus. Each room was especially decorated for the occasion. The various faculty members together with the students, were stationed in their respective depart- ments to explain the work of each room or section. In one of the spacious halls punch was served by several young ladies. This spot proved very popular throughout the evening while the Normal or- chestra helped to make it more so. Not only the people of Pittsburg, but the people of the county and state are justly proud of the new building. They are proud of its struc- ture, but more especially are they proud of it as a symbol of the spirit of S. M. T. N. D. M. BOWEN, A.

We regret that the picture was so long that it was necessary to make it very narrow in order to get the right proportions. The pic- ture was taken just after the crowd left chapel after the break-up of the exercises. The photographer was stationed on the fire- escape of Russ Hall while the students were distributed over the campus in the rear of the building. Practically all chapel exer- cises of the summer sessions are longer than scheduled and the one in question was no exception and those who were detained from chapel on account of their duties found them- selves confronted by a photographer who in- quired where the crowd was, after waiting for some time over the schedule time.. It should be stated in this connection perhaps that the long chapel program together with the taking of the picture spoiled a number of perfectly good finals scheduled for that hour. As the picture indicates the background is very feautiful for such a picture during the summer. We regret that only a portion of the large crowd could be shown. ®Iu Summer arrm The summer term of 1915 was the most successful in the history of the school and its enrollment exceeded by far that of any previous term. To the students of the summer term fell the pleasure of christ- ening, for study purposes, the new Russ Hall. While a part of the hall had been used previously no attempt was made to use all of it until the summer term. The total enrollment for the summer was 1300. In addition to the regular faculty, noted educators from all parts of the United States delivered lectures and directed special courses during the season. One who came from perhaps the greatest distance was Prof. Alvin Dodd, of New York City, who remained a week. He is a member of the National bureau for the promotion of Industrial and Vocational Education and is one of the foremost men in this field. His lectures and conferences were full of interest and helpful suggestions. Dr. A. Holmes, of Pennsylvania State College, gave a series of lec- tures on adolescent psychology. Dr. Holmes is a lecturer of rare person- ality and ability and was one of the most popular speakers who appeared during the summer term. Miss Florence Ward, of The Iowa State Teach- ers' College, lectured on the Montessori method of education. Another of the special lecturers of the summer was Dr. Henry Curtis, of Olivet, Mich., who spoke and gave instruction in playground and recreation activ- ities. Mrs. R. P. Murdock, of Wichita, who has a wide reputation on home decorating and house planning, gave a series of valuable lectures. Methods in rural education always play an important part in the work of the sum- mer term. Miss Edith Lathop, Superintendent of Rural Education, in Ne- braska, gave a series of lectures along this line. However, not all of the speakers upon this subject were from out of the state or from out of the school. One of the best lecturers of the summer along this avenue of thought was President W. A. Brandenburg, who gave a series of twenty lectures during the term. Combined with the work of the term was an abundance of recreation and amusements. There were sports of all kinds; a baseball league was organized and a tennis tournament and track meet were held. One of the most enjoyable forms of recreation was the social hour held twice each week on the campus during the long evenings. The main features of these gatherings were the folk games and dances, given by the girls un- der the direction of the physical director. Numerous picnics were held. The entire school made an excursion to Noel, Mo. This is an annual affair and is probably looked forward to by the faculty and student body more than any other event of the summer. Another annual affair is the pro- duction given by some Shakesperian company. The Chamber of Com- merce gives valuable aid along this line. Each year the summer session is growing in numbers and interest. Great plans are made and carried out for the accommodation of the stu- dents and wise forethought and consideration given to the selections of lecturers and the arranging of the course of study. Much preparation has been made for the coming term which is expected to,be the best in the history of the school. “Then came jolly summer, being (light, In a silken cassock, colored green, That was unlined to be more light, And on his head a garland well heseene.” —Spencer. mm SF mm HExtensinn Hork The State Manual Training Normal has inaugurated a feature that has phases, new, not only in this institution and state, but to the United States as well. The work it has undertaken is extension work, and there are certain features of it that are being carried out by only two other nor- mal schools in the United States. All of this work is managed and carried on by a committee composed of members of the faculty. The chairman of this committee, Prof. D. M. Bowen, is the routing agent and has charge of enrolling the students. There are three different phases of this work: one, where the teacher goes to the students at their home town and conducts classes; another, the regular correspondence work; the third, the service rendered by the faculty members in county teachers' meeting and in organizing community social centers. The first phase is the very new one and is proving exceedingly success- ful. The teachers go to the various towns and meet the students personally. The instructor makes these towns once each week or in some cases every two weeks and spends from two to four hours discussing the work with his class. The personal contact element of this work is its novel feature. Classes of this type have been organized in 24 different towns during the past year. And in some cases two classes were organized in a town. At least five hundred students took advantage of this form of instruction dur- ing the past year. These students do the same amount of work as the ordinary correspondence student plus the amount of work during the in- structor's visit. One feature of the plan which is very encouraging is that superintendents are enthusiastic about it. The story of how the work was begun here is but little less interesting than the work itself. Strange as it may seem the idea did not originate in the school nor was it fash- ioned after some other school. 'Twas during the summer of 1914 that a teacher from a neighboing town, who was attending the summer session, walked into the President's office one day and asked why the Normal instructors could not come to his town during the following winter on Saturday and teach. The request was a new one to the Presi- dent, but he readily consented to such a plan, provided that a class suffi- ciently large could be secured. The scheme grew and by the opening of the school year in 1914, the plan was ready to put into operation. Thus it was that this, one of the most novel and at the same time, worth while ideas, ever put into execution by the Normal originated. Once the idea had been put into operation and proven feasible, the Normal sought other fields to conquer—that is, offered to extend the work to other towns besides the one mentioned. The teaching force in quite a number of towns took advantage of the opportunity and several towns enjoyed the service that winter. How- ever, a few superintendents were skeptical and refused to entertain the matter. By the end of the year, however, the success of the plan was assured and almost evey town, village and hamlet it seemed wanted the extension work at the beginning of the term last fall. Needless to say, every effort was put forth to accommodate these, but some could not be served. The territory as now served, extends from Hutchinson, on the west to La Cygne on the north. No other form of activity it appears could have been undertaken that would have given the Normal greater publicity—although that had nothing to do with the inauguration of the scheme. Nevertheless, hardly a day goes by but what some inquiry comes regarding this phase of the school work. Most of the inquiries are from college and university presidents, located in every section of the United States. At a recent meeting of the North Central Associa- tion of Normal school persidents, President Brandenburg was called upon to tell the story of the work to that assembly. Likewise, when the N. E. A. met in Detroit a short time since he was again called upon to tell of the plan. The third phase of this work is the social service ren- dered by the teachers of the Normal. This service is given in a variety of ways. One is the help1 they give in the various teachers’ meetings by giving addresses and conducting roundtables. Another important thing some of the faculty are doing is the estab- lishing of community centers for the farming districts throughout the country. Speakers from the Normal and other lecturers from all over the state come to speak at these meetings giving wide opportunities to the farmers. The women also take part in these meetings. This social service work is practically a new thing but some results have been ob- tained already and much is expected in the future. This extension work is easily the most far-reaching policy ever inaug- urated by the Normal. As yet the work is in its infancy. At the pres- ent rate of growth it will have in a few years reached large proportions. Nothing could have been undertaken which would have brought the school closer to the people or have been of more service to them.

ANDREW B. STEELE EILEEN FRENCH-STEELE President Vice-President. HATTIE CAMPBELL-HOUSEHOLDER Secretary and Treasurer Our Institution boasts of an Alumni of 937 members, who have gone from the school to carry that big, vital, permeating thing which, for lack of another name, we call “School Spirit.” They are not only spreading the spirit of our dear old S. M. T. N., but are making every possible effort to instil into the minds of those with whom they come in contact in the school room, or in the business world, that ever cease- less need—efficiency. We find them in every section of Kansas, whether it be a rural or urban district. They do not confine their work to Kansas alone, but are so eager to carry the good things which they learned in the institution that they have pushed forward into practically every state and territory of our great country where they may be found hold- ing the highest and most honorable positions; they represent us by the excellent work they are doing in many of the eastern colleges and uni- versities. The Alumni are all interested in the wonderful things S. M. T. N. is doing in southeast Kansas—interested because a bigger and stronger Alma-Mater gives their certificate more value; interested because they know that a growing S. M. T. N., means the realization of those ideals for which they stand. The people of Kansas must be made to know that it will pay to let our school serve the state. The Alumni Association has come to realize the truth and importance of that statement and have pledged their support in order to help solve this great problem. The Alumni have never been found lacking in anything which will further the progress of their Alma-Mater, they are ready to boost for S. M. T. N. and if necessary, fight for any project she puts before them. When we realize that the graduating class of last year was six times as large as the entire student body two years ago, and that the enroll- ment has increased from 143 students in 1905 to 2,159 in 1915, it be- hooves us as Alumni and student body to be up and doing to keep up with the rapid growth of S. M. T. N.

L. WHEELER The banquet at Coffeyville was the greatest in the history of the school—great because of the number there; great because of the invincible spirit manifested; great because our own President Brandenburg outlined the future policy of S. M. T. N. Professor Andrew Steele, president of the Alumni Association was chairman of the evening and introduced President Brandenburg, who acted as toastmaster. President Brandenburg, in his toast, “What Next?” gave some pointed and pithy hints as to the growth and needs of the institution. He said: “When I attempt to speak upon “What Next” for our school, its many needs crowd in upon me so rapidly and in such numbers that I am all but bewildered.” He pointed out our immediate needs for an adequate library building with four times as many volumes as we now have. A Household Arts and Science Building commensurate with the dignity and size of this work in the institution. A Gymnasium, not elaborate, but with floor space enough to accommodate at least half the students demanding this work. A permanent Auditorium, where our students may be surrounded with that uplifting and wholesome physical environment so essential to all meetings and gatherings. The records of our past is a record of wonderful and glorious achievements. Our future must and will, not only conserve the achievements of the past, it must and will carry us to heights of which we have as yet undreamed. Professor Trout in his toast, “At Your Service,” emphasized the work being done by the institution in extension and correspondence work, and the willingness of the people of S. M. T. N., to serve Kansas in every way possible. Professor J. L. Wheeler, in his enthusiastic, inimitable manner, spoke on the sub- ject, “Now’s The Time”. He pledged the loyalty of the Alumni to “General” Branden- burg and the State Manual Training Normal, indicated the willingness of the Alumni to follow the “General” to boost for S. M. T. N., and if necessary fight for their Alma Mater. The success of the gathering was largely due to the efforts of the local committee, particularly J. L. Wheeler, and the management of Dr. O. P. Dellinger, who untiringly devoted his energies to its success. s Almmtt IbmmtamtrrH I shall endeavor to write a short sketch of the experiences during the first year of S. M. T. N. That was a delightful year of work to we people who had been accus- tomed to the academic school work. Making pies, baking bread, cutting and fitting dresses and making boxes, etc., gave us an added zest in our school. At first we were prejudiced against the new kind of education, hut in a short time our prejudice disap- peared, and now our school work, instead of being drudgery, was a pleasure. While the school was small and the equipment meager, the enthusiasm of the faculty ‘and students made up for all this. The many good tilings we were able to do was accomplished with the greatest difficulty and encountered the greatest opposition, but courage com- bined with energy and perserverance will overcome difficulties apparently unsurmountable. The library consisted of “Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary,” and a few government re- ports. The two literary societies, The Manus Verez and Portereans, did excellent work Gymnastics was quite an item; a room up among the rafters was used for that purpose, although we were rushed to find time for it. By the end of the year so many people were fully convinced that manual work was a necessity in the public schools that there were many good positions open for each of the ten graduates. The school had attracted so much attention that among those who visited us that year was Superintendent of Schools, Boards of Education, Governors, U. S. Senators and Congressmen. To the American no one stands higher than the sturdy pioneer, who blazed the path through the forest, tilled the fertile soil or laid the foundation of that great commonwealth to which we give our strongest devotion. Just as this pioneer stands in the hearts of Americans, so stands one man to the people of Southeastern Kansas. A man who went into the frontier of educational work in our section, labored, toiled, planned and fought for the school that today is the pride of Southeastern Kansas. A man for whom we, the students of S. M. T. N. cannot express our loyalty and admiration. The man who was head of the S. M. T. N. for eight years—It. It. Russ. The spirit of the class of 15)04 has done much to place the school where it now stands, and it is a pleasure to compliment the following classes, from year to year, upon the interest and loyalty which they have shown the school and its leaders, and we trust that this spirit will continue to grow until our dear old S. M. T. N. will be one of the leading schools of our country. —MRS. MYRTLE GRAHAM-CONKIJN, Class of ’04. In the beginning of the State Manual Training Normal, began the class of 15)10. We attended the institution when it was located in the old brick school building on the corner of Fifth and Walnut Streets in Pittsburg and when it existed more in theory than as a reality. We studied in the little brick building adjacent to the main school build- ing and which was at that time known in name only as the library. In those days, every one knew each other and all were united in one common purpose, because there was hardly a sufficient number to be divided. As we returned from year to year to the primitive beginning, we were daily instilled with the idea and theory that at some future 1MM time things would be different and we woyld have the opportunity of attending an in- stitution not only in name, but in reality. As time passed by and we approached the year of 1909, what seemed to be the wildest dreams of those who fortunately possessed what seemed to us as a far distant vision, started to change into whisperings and rumors that we were really going to have a real, live and existing State Manual Training Normal. From day to day, the rumors and murmurings kept going on until the Mayflower of realization made an appearance in seeing with our own eyes, evidences, signs and tokens of the erection at the present location of what seemed to us in years gone by as an absolute impossibility, the S. M. T. N. building, situated on a large campus with surroundings too great to be appre- ciated except as were were permitted to enjoy them. As holidays and vacations came and passed, the erection and completion of the new building was watched with almost tear- ful eagerness. � Then, it came to pass that we were assembled and learned that we were to leave behind us our early surroundings and take up what seemed to us a new life, stripped of all the toil, monotony and shortcomings of school life and with all this, together with inconceivable expectations and phophesies we entered the new building learning for the first time that, to enjoy our surroundings, it would be necessary to assume grave re- sponsibilities that we had not anticipated. About this time, by virtue of the curriculum and the length of (time we had de- voted to our studies, we were brought face to face witli the fact that our work was nearly ended and that, in conformity with the institution’s progress, we would now be called upon to accept the responsibilities of the senior class and leave behind us such a record as would be in keeping and harmony with the spirit of the institution. One morning after chapel, we were assembled together with the announcement that it was the first life diploma class of the institution. We met as a class and per- fected our organization, wondering just what it all meant and realizing tiiat our time upon the stage of action of the coveted new building was but brief. Idejis after ideas were advanced about starting a school paper and then there would be echoes that we should have an alumni. It would seem as though in the course of years that we had been connected with the institution that we had inbibed some of the spirit of the in- stitution and felt as though we should do our part towards establishing things that would be permanent and lend themselves to the usefulness of the institution. It was decided that we should have an annual. We did not know what was going in the annual or how we were going to have the money to publish an annual, but we knew that we wanted one and we knew that we were going to have one. Through the resourcefulness of some of the members of the class, the name Kanza” was suggsted and decided upon and from that time on, it was “The Kanza” and known by no other name. On account of the smallness of the class, this meant a great deal of work in securing the proper material, the cuts and photographs and all of the organizations were small and the essentials for this publication were difficult to obtain. It was necessary to convince many people that this was possible, but it was done and no annual has even been as close or as dear to the class of 1910 as the initial “Kanza.” Besides this, we dreamed it was possible to have a school paper and the same problems and fiffieulties that we had with reference to the Kanza was met in stormy class meet- ings about starting a school paper. Finally, after much work, it was determined that a school paper would be published. The financing and the publishing of the paper were ever pressing and urging questions. It was decided to have an assembly of tiie students in school, which at that time, according to the enrollment for the entire year, was only seven hundred and fifty, which was done, and by popular subscriptions, enough money was raised to buy the equipment and issue the first school paper of the VlMM S. M. T. N., and Oh! tlie difficulties we had. Almost everything seemed insurmountable. In visiting the State Manual Training Normal today, it is almost impossible to realize the days of 1910 and all the prophesies and fantasies of the imaginative minds of those days have been realized and long ago relegated to the rear of the trumphant march of our Alma Mater.—GEO. MALCOLM, Class of ’10. o Is it possible that three years have passed since we marched in so proudly in those caps and gowns?—the first class, too. We were so proud of being pioneers. Do you re- member what a fight we had with the Profs to get to wear the cap andt gown? My, how we did explode that evening in Miss Owen’s room when the report came in that “if we were that foolish, go ahead,etc—■” O, well, we soon forgot that, for we had to plan the placing of that drinking fountain on the campus. That certainly was used the summer after the fire. I wonder if Glen Skinner remembers that awful banquet where he presided—debates lasted hours—and Mr. Davis had to get back to Parsons and I had some duties myself for I was to be married the next day. We couldn’t stay and we couldn’t leave—so we stayed. Say! You didn’t know who would receive those old picnic spoons that day when we wrapped them so carefully and saved them for the first of our class to he married. Mr. H. N. Aldendick (we called him H20) really should have had them. We little dreamed that afternoon that Miss Rodman would to to the Phil- ippines to wed. Three years is not a very long time, but its ages for old S. M. T N. Just think, we spoke of ourselves as “wearing the red rose of true scholarship before eight hundred peering underclassmen.” Just think now—twenty-five hundred—and we only had thirty six faculty members and now nearly sixty. Nineteen Thirteen was a memorable year—Separation. President Brandenburg came to us that year and many great events hut by far the most important—we graduated. Thirteen of us—Yes there was Skinner; he’s in Illinois University now; Oldendick, working- in Kansas City for Bell Telephone Co.; Mrs. Chapman, still in Pittsburg; Mrs. Wheeler, of Pittsburg, too; Maud Peake (they say she is preparing to keep house); Mr. Davis, proprietor Straushurger in Parsons; Miss Rodman, married and lives in Philippines; Sis- ter Sebastian, of Mercy Hospital, Parsons; Miss McPherson, popular member of Pitts- burg High School faculty; Meyers, applying his science on the farm; Miss Coventry, of the faculty at S. M. T. N.; Ferguson, postmaster at Independence and myself—swallowed up into the great family of Smiths.—LENA MARTIN-SMITH, Class of ’13. V ititor (ElaBH OFFICERS President - - - - - - C. O.

Courtright was a member of the Oklahoma University football team for three seasons. Benny Owen, Okla- homa coach, stated that Mr. Court- right was the best all around athlete among all that he handled in Okla- homa and the students of the Normal certainly realize the fact that he knew what he was talking about. His sterling character and pleasing per- sonality made him a favorite with the students both on and off the field. He coached football, basketball, and baseball and tolerated nothing but clean athletics. JOHN W. FUHRER, Director Physical Education Great strides have been made in Athletics in our institution since Mr. Fuhrer took charge late in the fall of 1909. However, we are still somewhat handicapped. We need better indoor facilities, although the rearranging of the auditorium helped wond- erfully. We hope, however, to have a new gymnasium soon which will probably pro- vide for our needs. The past season was the most successful, all things considered, in the history of the school and a firm foundation was laid for future work. We are convinced that next year will be the most successful in the history of the insti- tution. COACH COURTRIGHT SUnrimu of tljr Reason The season of 1915 opened with a very promising squad of material and with the out- look of a bright future. However, the season was not to outward appearances a glorious success for S. M. T. N. As a matter of fact we lost five games and won but three with colleges of equal standing. We lost three games by disastrous sdores. We did not win a single game away from home. The season lost financially and things have not looked so bright, nor the athletic association been so very prosperous since. But on the other hand we can offer no alibies, but legitimate justification for our de- feats and we have a number of sweet memories lingering with us over our victories. In the first place, the team was made up almost wholly of men with little or no experience in college football. We had a new coach and con- sequently a new system of coaching and no matter how willing or aggressive squad may be, a winning football team is not built in a year. Again we never entered a game, with the possible exception of K. C. U., in which we were not outweighed from ten to thirty pounds to the man. Again, we had no legitimate quarterback. Captain Tanner played the position and it is a silent testimony to his versality that he was able to get away with it as he did. Ends are not miraculously changed to quarterbacks in two weeks. There is too much to learn and also some things to forget. And as to our financial condition, we have never had enough money for ath- letics and we will never have until every student is compelled to pay $5.00 every year for their support. And also on Thanksgiving day the rain cut our gate receipts from at least $1,000.00 to $200.00. We defeated Kansas City University, but 42 to 19 was as large a score as we encountered except at Rolla. We defeated Springfield Nor- mal who in turn were runners up in the Missouri Conference. William Jew- ell, the champions managed to beat them by three points and on William Jewell’s gridiron. Again while Drury drubbed us 25 to IB, Springfield defeated them decisively on Thanksgiving day. Fairmount had defeat- C APT A IN TANNER ed us the year before 42 to 0 and were expecting to repeat the dose; so it was somewhat of a surprise when we sent them back home, “licked” 7 to 0. The first game was with Rolla, a team of husky giants who had played together for three years. Our boys had exactly four plays. It in an all night ride to Rolla and Pullman berths are not the finest things in the world in which to sleep. The boys were strewn all over the lot but came home with blood in their eyes and revenge in their hearts. Rolla had beaten us the year before 104 to 0, so a 40 to 0 score did not look so bad. We worked up two new plays during the next week and went over to tackle Drury. Cockerill interrupted two Drury forward passes and saved us from a shut out. The final score being 25 to 13. Our boys fought hard until the final whistle blew and showed Missouri some of the real Kansas fighting spirit. Then came the track meet with K. C. U., or so it seemed to us. Up and down, if it was not us, it was them; score upon score with the Manual always on top. The only shirt tail parade of the year was held after this game, with a large crowd of the livest students participating. We next took on Springfield Normal. And we gave them a well deserved trouncing. Johnson scored two touchdowns in this game and made himself generally disagreeable to Springfield. The two teams were evenly matched and the outcome of the game was uncertain until the final whistle blew with the score 21 to 15. About the most pleasant and at the same time the most disappoint- ing experience of the season was the Southwestern game, pleasant be- cause we put a real scare into the boys from Winfield, disappointing be- cause the gods of fate were against us. If you missed this game we feel sorry for you, because we out punted them, out bucked them, and out fought them, but they won. How they did it only the fickle god of luck knows. All that we know is that we made one touchdown and they made two. The next week was an off week and the recruits reported to fall on the ball. Then we played Fairmount and “Cy” Burton grabbed a forward pass for a touchdown. i Then came that memorable trip up through the central part of Kan- sas. We are not ashamed of the licking at Emporia, 187 pounds against 152 pounds is some little weight handicap. It was amusing to see Proc- tor buck that line, and we gained through it and we passed over it, but we couldn’t score. It was on this day that Coach Courtright said that in two more years S. M. T. N. would beat Hargiss’ Emporia Normals and we believe he will help us do it. till The next Thursday was Thanksgiving day and we were scheduled to play a game of football but the game was called off to make way for a game of mud polo. Seriously, there is no telling what would have been the result of the game with Edmund on Thanksgiving day had we had a dry field on which to play. Both teams were coached by former students of Bennie Owen, in weight nearly equal, particularly coached for this game, and both were on edge for it. But the field was a sea of mud, and our boys were lost. They had never practiced on a muddy field. The final score was no indication of the relative strength of the two teams, but while we feel keenly the defeat, we shall never feel the disappointment over the 13 to 0 score, as over the weather that prevented a real foot- ball game. The season is over and the record is made, whether it was a success or not is for us to judge. Our percentage of games won is nothing startling. In the matter of scores made against those of opponents we were hopelessly behind, but if the real test of victory is not, if we won, but how well did we fight, and we think it is, then last season was really a victorious season. It was a well deserved compliment for the yell leader to say he would go farther and yell louder for this team than for any team he ever saw. The boys were all out there fighting all the time. They were striving to help not themselves, but the team, never discouraged, never quitting, but pushing the real pep till the final whistle blew in every game. let us leave this word in closing. Let us all try to get one hun- dred candidates out next fall for football. Thus and thus only, can we hope for a really winning team. Here's to Captain-elect Cockerill and may he have an all-victorious team in 1916. o FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1916. October 7th.—K. C. U. at Pittsburg. October 14th.-—Drury at Pittsburg.

November 24th.—Ottawa at Pittsburg. November 30th.—Oklahoma Central Normal at Edmund. JOHN H. STILL WAUGH. John had had some previous experience at football which with added training under Coach Courtright, made him a good fighter and an excel- lent addition to our team as left guard. His size and strength made him one of the parts of the strong line which we were rightly proud of. ROBERT W. HART. “Curly” has been on the var- sity for the last three years, having played the position as guard the first season and the position of left tackle the last two seasons. He played a clean game, put up a win- ning fight, and was always found in the thickest of the scrimmage. “Curly” will not be with us next year, and ev- ery Normal student feels his worth when they think of this. BRYAN McKEE. “Zack” was our quarterback last year where lie played a fine game, but his fighting spirit and strength placed him as one of our worthy and ap- preciated line men. As left guard no man on our team fought harder nor did more to break up opposing plays than he. CANBY TROUT “Quack” played on the S. M. T. N. football team a few years ago and since then has been out in the wide, wide world; but September, 1915, found Canby at the Normal renewing old acquaintances, and ready to take advantage of his educational opportun- ities. Canby played center. He knew his signals perfectly, and his aim in passing to Vic was so correct that a fumble was practically unknown to him. LAWRENCE A. CHAPLIN “Charley” was a new man on our team and he put up a good fight for the school that would equal anyone’s. He play- ed right halfback, and his fast runs made the opponents “sit up and open their eyes.” He put all the life and pep into his playing that he had, and the team was made stronger by his good hard and straight forward playing. CARL L, COCKERILL. Carl is another one of those “hard to beat” Pittsburg boys. Phrases which characterize Cockerill could truthfully be said that he is alert in mind, strong in body, swift in mo- tion and determined in fight- ing. Carl played left half back the past season. He is one of the best all-round athletes the Normal has had for some time. Carl was elected Captain for next year, and he is the nu- cleus around which Coach Courtright will build a strong- er team than S. M. T. N. has had in previous years. JESS PROCTOR “Proc” was the fullback for the past season, was the life of the team and at no time in any game did he waver in his determination to win. His line plunges made his husky op- ponents “take notice.” Jess was the star on the Normal High last year, and with the training under Coach Court- right, and with more exper- ience he will undoubtedly be one of the best football play- ers in the country. VIC A. TANNER, CAPTAIN This is the third year for “Cap” Tanner at S. M. T. N. He has twice received the foot- ball “M”. His first season he did creditable work as a sub- stitute, the second season placed him on the regular position of left end, the past season found him shifted from his old po- sition to quarterback, where he played second to no man on the team. Vic was a good general and was well liked by the boys. The coach is de- pending upon Vic next year. FRANK M. BURTON “Cy” alias “Rabbit” played the part of a true tackle. His knowledge of football coupled with his experience and physi- cal ability did much to make our team a winner. He was an equal to any tackle he play- ed against, and he was the fastest man on our team which was very evident when he would break up so many of the other team's plays or punts. LAWRENCE M. GIBSON When “Cap” Tanner was shifted from left end to quar- terback, the Coach knew it would be hard to fill his old position, but “Gibby was ready and produced the goods”; a better selection could not have been made, as Lawrence had played sub end last year. He was a steady determined fight- er and always put up the right spirit. CLARENCE E. JOHNSON Johnson played football in Eureka Kansas High School, where he made a record, and his work on our team his first season strongly reinforces this record. As right end his abil- ity to make runs, and his re- ceiving of passes made his work very admirable and skill- ful. S. M. T. N. saw some spectacular pass grabbing and touchdowns, and the visiting teams always heard of John- son before they had ever seen him. LEROY B. ANDREW “Andy” had considerable ex- perience at football under Coach Fuhrer, while he was in the Normal High School. His eagerness and the unend- ing drill of Coach Courtright made him one of the best line men the Normal has ever had He was our kickoff man and he certainly “played the part” even in the mud. “Andy” was the only S. M. T. N. man placed on an all state team. Chee! I lee! Chee! Haw! linjs’ laakeiball HaskrthaU 1915-1 fi The Basket Ball season opened with Manual playing “Evans Traveling Six,” one of the fastest teams in southeastern Kansas. The boys were defeated by a score of 32 to 28, which was a good show- ing, considering that it was the‘first time they had played together. The prospects for a winning team looked good. The 1916 rules are very strict and should make the game fast and clean, but when the team journeyed to Springfield, Missouri, and played the State Normal the 13th and 14th, of January, and Drury College the 15th; the boys found that the new rules had not met with the husky Missourians’ approval, and instead of playing a clean, fast game, as the rules intended, they were turned loose on the floor and allowed to rough it as much as they pleased and our small boys did not have much luck at this type of game and were completely swamped in each of the three games. Coach Briggs of the Spring- field Normal team, was heard to say that fouls made the game slow and uninteresting, so the boys on the team began to think the rule books were printed to sell instead of to use as a guide. The next game was with the Kansas State School of Mines, on our home court. The boys did not have much difficulty in taking the big end of a 32 to 26 score. JOHN LANCE Captain of Our Basketball Team. Lance is also something- of a track shark. At the State Collegiate track meet last year he broke all previous pole-vaulting records, and at the pres- ent time is the champion in this class. February 7th, the team met the Southwestern College at Winfield. During the first half Southwestern’s team was composed of fellows about the size of our boys and the game was fast and close, but in the second half the smaller boys were replaced by a few of those large burly fel- lows, that Central Kansas produces, and our boys again found that the rules were of no use and that they were too small to play a rough game, II immmmmmmBm the result was that at the end of the game the score was 44 to 27 in favor of Southwestern. The team next took a trip into Oklahoma and played two of the fast- est teams in that state. On February 21st and 22nd they played the Oklahoma Central Normal team at Edmund. This team is the fastest Normal team in Oklahoma. The boys left here in the afternoon of Feb- ruary 20th and did not get to Edmund until just in time for the game the next day, and the score for the first game shows they were in no condition to play, the score being 68 to 30. The second game was the fastest and hardest fought game that the Central Normal had played for five years. The first half ended with a tie score 16 to 16, but the second half our boys did not show the speed they had had in the first half and Edmund won 39 to 30. Although our team lost both games they sure made a name for the school, for the Edmund players said they were the cleanest players they had met during the whole season, and it was remarked by the people on the sidelines, that although the Manual team was losing they never lost their smile, slowed up nor made the game drag. The team, went from Edmund to Chilocco and there on the night of Feb- ruary 23rd, they played the fast Chilocco Indian team. It might be well to say that the Chilocco Indians are the fastest team on the southwest; not losing a game the entire season, and defeating the fast4 Oklahoma University team on the University’s home court. The boys started out fine and held the Indians to a tie score for most of the first half, but the last half the Indians came back like a whirlwind and their superior size and endurance gave them the better of a 55 to 27 score. The team closed the season by playing Baker University at Bald- win on the night of March 3rd. The Baker team was composed of men from six feet to six feet four inches tall, and our small boys only made a correspondingly small showing, still we are proud of them. Although the team did not have a very successful season, as far as victories is concerned, it must be known that we had not had a basket- ball team the season before, and that the boys worked under a new coach, played a new system, and most important of all, due to the fact that we could not afford to bring any out of town teams here, the season was played on foreign courts. With these facts in consideration and the standing of the teams they played against, the team did make a very creditable showing and we are looking forward to a winning team for next season. ®rark (iutlmtk Things are looking bad for track in S. M. T. N. this year, and it is the same as last year; the bad weather interfered with the proper spring training, and the track aspirants began their activities very late. However, considering the discouragement and drawbacks, we are going after the track activities with the usual “pep” manifested in our Normal. Director Fuhrer, coach of track work, along in the latter part of win- ter issued the statement that S. M. T. N., would have its first Annual Interclass Indoor Track Meet. It took considerable work and pushing by the promoters to finally get the different classes interested, but every class entered its contestants and the meet was scheduled for February the 25th. For the first time in the history of the school there has been an available place in which to hold an indoor track meet. The Auditorium has provided shelter, and been made the rendezvous of so many activities and events that we often wonder how the school ever existed without it. --------o------- FIRST ANNUAL INDOOR INTERCLASS MEET.

From a class standpoint the Sophomores carried away the honors, making 63 of the possible 82 points. As this, being the first indoor track meet of course, these records will hold until they are broken in some future indoor meet. The Cross Country Run was held on Thursday, March 30th, 1916. The runners started in front of Russ Hall and coursed around the sec- tion and finished in front of Russ Hall. The weather had prevented this event being given the week before and the roads were still soft and slippery. Chester M. Clark finshed first.....Time 24 minutes and 42 seconds. Lawrence Gibson finished second....Time 24 minutes and 51 seconds. It is very difficult to build a track team in one season and so many of our boys only stay a year or two and leave, so that often a man is about in condition to become a record breaker when he has to leave us. But we still have a few of our old standbys. Lawrence Gibson has been working faithfully this spring and his event will be the half mile. Chester Clark, our cross country runner, will endeavor to lower the mile or two mile record. McClure, the track cap- tain and star in the indoor meet, had some bad luck as his physician has advised him to drop his track work; we hope he can get in condition and help us yet. John Lance, the state pole vault record breaker, is still as loyal as ever. He is working for the pole vault, high jump and the hurdles. L. A. Chaplin is working for the high jump; Roach, the mile; Nation, the half and the mile and Van Norsdall, for the prints, also there is some promising material showing up in the gymnasium classes. The Annual Interclass meet will be held about the first or second week in May, and a dual meet is scheduled at Springfield in the near future. I I UaHphaU IFn rnaat. of £ easmt -------o------- This is the first year S. M. T. N. can really say she has a baseball team, because we had a coach, a diamond, material and the games. We can boast of one of the best pitching staffs to be found in any college in the state, and in the games of the season they very easily reinforced this statement. The personnel of the staff are Reeves, C. Sneller, Charter and A. Sneller. The fastest and most energetic men in the school composed the in- field, with “Zack” McKee in his old position as backstop ; Randolph as firstbaseman; Randall, secondbaseman; Gaiser, shortstop; and Michie, playing in his old position at third base. The outfield is also equally as good, with Cockerill, leftfield; Tanner, centerfield, and Smith or Sneller in rightfield. A The first games of the season were scheduled with Henry Kendall College from Tulsa, Okla., April the 6th and 7th. The weather seemed to be opposed to playing baseball in the early part of April as the wind seemed to blow its hardest and furs, gloves and overcoats were much in evidence. We should have had our Thanks- giving football game at that time instead of a baseball game. We were defeated by a score of 15 to 1. The game on April 7th was called off be- cause of the weather. The next games were with Arkansas University, April 10th and 11th. The weather actually allowed us to have two baseball games and, although the conditions were better, the results of the games were not much different. At the Arkansas University the weather has been such that spring practice began several weeks before our boys could venture forth with the pill and mitt. Most of their men were old and experi- enced players. Jfamaat nf £ eaamt o This is the first year S. M. T.

Every girl enrolled in the Department of Physical Education is given a physical examination before any floor work is assigned to her and corrective exercises are prescribed and substituted for general floor work where needed. Freshmen courses are general floor work of a body building nature. Sophomores may elect courses in advanced floor work, basketball or esthetic dancing. A course in- cluding formal gymnastics for the school-room, folk dances, singing games and gymnastic games is given for practice teachers who teach this work in the Model School. Much interest has been shown this year by the girls in physical education. In the fall various volleyball teams were formed and a tournament was held on the campus. Even the faculty made a good showing and their team scored well. After the games, a huge bonfire was built, and all the participants and by-standers enjoyed i supper cooked in the open. After this all interest was centered on the Basketball Tournament. Class teams were organized. Zoe Beal, Ruth Locke, Neva Procter, and Janeva Jarrell were elected captains of the Junior-Senior, Sophomore, Freshman and High School teams, respectively. Those girls who did not play the game, gave their loyal support by electing cheer leaders, mascot committees and committees on songs and yells and colors and decora- tions. Much class spirit and enthusiasm was shown and the girls’ tournament proved a decided success. The Sophomores won the championship banner. They did splendid work and with their capable captain, Ruth Locke, were a credit to this institution. Good, clean playing and sportsmanship were the most prominent factors throughout all the games. Arm bands with class numerals were awarded to every member of the teams. Before the Annual Gymnasium Exhibition was held in March, it was decided that an organization in the department to promote Physical Education for women, was needed. A tryout was held on the evening before the exhibition. The girls were examined in calisthenics, marching tactics, folk dancing, and esthetic dancing. Points in basketball, tennis and Swimming were awarded. A girl receiving sixty points or more, won the letter A. Fifteen girls received letters, and these girls are charter members of the Manual A Association. The organization aims to interest the girls of State Manual Training Normal in the various activities of the department, and not permit her to become over- enthusiastic about one certain sport or accomplishment; to uplift the standard of Physical Education among women and promote advanced work. A special class will be formed for the Manual A Girls, and they will act as assistants in the department, and be in charge of the work in the High School classes. Members of the Manual A Association are: Madge Utterback, Myrle Robertson, Gracia Sickels, Kathryn Milleson, Emily Gaw, Ruth Locke, Ann Hamilton, Delia Gillett, Beulah Shockey, Carrie Cook, Fern Fair, Grace Adamson, Mary Ruth Fisher, Ilomayne Pearson! and Mabel Roseberry. Officers are: Mary Ruth Fisher, president; Emily Gaw, treasurer, and Romayne Pearson, secretary. As a culmination of the year’s work a May Fete was held on the campus Thurs- day afternoon of Messiah Week. There was Interprellative Dancing by one hundred and fifty girls The theme was, “A Spring Day.” The children frolic on the green, gather flowers, and wash each others faces, with the morning dew. The fairies, all dressed in woodsy green, call forth the little brown Gnomes, who frolic about, enchant the children and bring the ideal day. Hamtal A.

For a number of years The Manualite has held its own in its efforts to equal any college monthly paper published in the United States and it can justly be said that in the past year, it has been one of the best, if not the best that has ever been published in the history of our institution. It has a circulation of about five hundred copies per month and may be seen in schools from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The editor-in-chief and business manager for each year are chosen from the student body by the students themselves and th6se two in turn choose the remainder of the staff and have them confirmed by the student body. This year, under the leadership and example of H. R. Carey as editor-in-chief, the staff has put forth every effort in an untiring en- deavor to make The Manualite for this school year the most appreciated and talked of paper of any that has yet been published. Moreover, the staff with one voice declare that because of Mr. Carey and oft his account only is the honor for the success of the Manualite due. A new scheme of numbering each issue was put into action this year. For example: the November issue was called the “Homecoming Number,” as the students came in for the Thanksgiving football game; the Decem- ber issue, the “Christmas Number; the January issue, the “Kansas Number,” (for which the editor received a letter of commendation from Governor Capper) ; the February issue, the “Leap Year Number,” (as befitted the year) ; the March issue, the “Spring Poets’ Number;” etc. Also, the first page of each copy contained some noted poem. M Nothing was not printed that did not become a college paper, yet there was always a “tinge of ginger” in every page which had the tena- cious effect of making every student of the Normal as well as many alumni and others look forward to the publication of each copy with an interest shown in few other activities. ■ (iitr 2£i prejmttatuu is Top Row—MORRISON, WEBB Center—JON ES I,ower Row—JONES, HL’DSON Debating and oratorical work began early in the school year and con- tinued throughout the year, culminating in three different contests this spring. Of these two were of the oratorical type and one debate. The first contest of the season was the Inter-Normal Oratorical Con- test in Pittsburg March 3, between the three Normal Schools of the State. The following are the details of the fray: S. M. T. N.—W. L. Ringo, ‘‘The Extremes of Civilization.” Emporia Normal—Albert E. Woodruff, ‘‘The Nation’s Responsibility in the Present Crisis.” Fort Hays Normal—James R. Start, “John Smith and Henry Jones and the War.” Mr. Start was given first place. Judges: Professor E. M. Hopkins of the University of Kansas; Super- intendent Thomas Scott of Guthrie, Okla., and Principal F. M. Bainter of the Kansas City Polytechnic High School. The second contest was the one known as the Kansas Inter-Collegiate Peace Association contest held in Topeka March 17. Guy D. Jones was the Normal representative. He won fourth place out of a total of thirteen contestants. His subject was: “International Peace.” -----o------ DEBATE. The third contest was our Second Annual Dual Debate with Hays, held April 7. As was the case last year the honors were evenly divided. A feature of this debate was the fact that but one judge was used in each instance instead of the customary number of three.

N., perhaps none has exercised a greater cultural influence on the life of the school than the Dramatic Art Club. This club was organized in the fall of 1914, and its membership composed of those who are spec- ializing in the courses offered in the Department of Public Speaking and Expression. The purpose of the club is to give its members practical experience in appearing before the public, and to present high-class plays to the students and the people of the community at a price within the reach of all. That the efforts of the club are appreciated is shown by the large audiences that witnessed the productions staged during the past year. On the night of December 2nd, “The District Attorney,” was pre- sented in the Normal Auditorium as one of the attractions of Farmers' Week. The play was well received by the spectators, and was one of the interesting features of the Stock, Corn and Poultry Show. “The Crisis”, a dramatization of Winstin Churchill’s Civil War-time story, was staged the night of March 7th, before an audience that nearly filled the Auditorium. While “The Crisis” is a heavy production and one rarely tried by any but professional players, its presentation was sat- isfactory to the listeners and assisted in putting the Dramatic Art Club before the public as an organization that is materially adding to the fame of the State Manual Training Normal. Most of .the members of the club will return to S. M. T. N., next year, and this, together with the increased interest that is being taken in public speaking and expression by the entire school, assures a suc- cessful future for the Dramatic Art Club.

UTTERBACK PEASE BEAL SMITH Of all the numerous musical organizations of the school none was ever accorded a heartier reception when they appeared than the Lyric Quartette. This quartette was composed of young ladies each of whom possessed rare musical ability. Their appearance in chapel was always a sign for an outburst of applause, which became stronger with each rendition. The quartette played a highly important part in all of the musical festivities of the part year and in every instance acquitted itself creditably. 3hp Polymnia QHwb The Polymnia Club is an organization of twenty-five girls. The club needs no introduction to the public. The record of the club in past years is well known and the members this year have put forth every effort to maintain a high standard. During the year several concerts in nearby towns were given and all were highly successful. The club attended the S. E. K. T. A. meeting at Coffeyville in February, having a prominent place on the program. The club received a rousing reception on this trip and acquitted itself in a highly creditable manner. The social as well as the cultural features of the club makes it most pleasant and profitable. MEMBERS OF THE CLUB. First Sopranos— FERN FAIR, MADGE UTTERBACK, HELEN DON A HEY.

A club, not composed of members who can make the most noise, but one that can produce harmony from the most difficult pieces, is the one which shows training and efficiency. This club is composed of men who mean business in every sense of the word, so it is useless to say that it was much appreciated whenever a public perform- ance was given by its members. Under the leadership of Professor Walter McCray the club mem- bers have made rapid progress, having started to work on concert pieces, and at the beginning of the second semester they were singing selections from several of the Grand Operas. It was not until the second semester that the club appeared before the public. Their appearance won for them high honors; not only for themselves but for their director as well. The demand for club concerts is increasing and several trips to neigh- boring towns are planned for the spring, where the club b©ys, we are sure, will be met with large and appreciative audiences. The Glee Club had a prominent place in the Spring Festival. It is composed of eighteen of the best trained voices of the Normal and it is expected that a good percent of them will be back next year.

It shall thus associate them with the Kingdom of God. It shall further seek to enlist them in the Christian church and to the religious work of the institution. The Young Women's Christian Association of our institution, while it has not attained a higher percentage of members this yegtr, has held its own and made rapid strides in advancement along several lines. The missionary committee is especially to be commended as heretofore very little has been done along missionary lines, while this year $30 has been raised for this purpose. The social committee also has made splendid progress and has given to the members and student body a number of enjoyable times, never to be forgotten. Among these pleasant times we will always remember the Christmas Tree and the good things that went with it. Then we shall always remember the pageant given by our girls which compared the advantages of the girls of today with those of fifty years ago. The devotional committee has favored us with some rare treats in the way of speakers. A number of the speakers were members of the association. During the year Miss Owen, Dean Bales, Dean Mitchell and Mrs. Lewis each gave us many helpful talks. In February the association celebrated the fiftieth birthday of the National Organization. Several special events were held at this time and Miss Lucy Riggs, field secretary, brought greetings from the National Association. She also gave a number of helpful and inspiring talks during her sojourn here. mm inn nn §. M. GL A.

Each year, new records have been added to its interesting history, and the year 1915-16 has its quota of work, advancement, and good times to form the newest chapter. The society is composed of many of the active, wide-awake, college students of the school. Its aim is to train the members in literary work and to afford an opportunity for closer friendship. Mr. Young and Mr. Hudson succeeded in winning the laurels in debate at the Christmas contest. Wm. Webb was the victorious orator. The banquet after the debate at this time was one of the enjoyable features of the year. At this time every member present made a speech —or attempted to. Another feature of the year's work was the Leap Year party given early in the year. The girls entered heartily into the scheme and set an example which the boys will not soon forget. Then, too, it should be said that the Manus Verez won the spelling- contest against their lifetime enemies, the Portereans. The entire society feels justly proud of this accomplishment.

MINGES - - President LOUISE MICHAELS - President ZELLA HOLT - - Vice President EDNA NICHOLS - Vice President JUANITA PEASE - - Treasurer DONALD RANSOM - Treasurer PROFESSOR PEASE - - Critic Following a custom begun early in the year 1914, a German club was organized early in the fall of 1915. Only one or two of those who had been members of the preceding club were present, but these served as a nucleus around which to build. Henry Minges, one of the “veterans” of the preceding year, was elected president, and the work fiegun. Pro- fessor Pease takes a great interest in the club and to him must go most of the credit for the year’s work. The club has met regularly each Thursday at noon throughout the year. Pleasure and business were combined at each of these meetings, lunch being served, after which a program was rendered. The programs were varied and interesting. Another feature of the programs was that each member took an active part in each program. Professor Pease pleased the club on several oc- casions with interesting talks on Germany, where he spent some time studying. While most of the members of the club are actively engaged in the study of German, the club is not exclusive, and a cordial invitation was extended to whomsoever would to join it.

PEASE - -- -- -- - - President HELEN JANE SMITH - - - - Secretary-Treasurer A. I. FOARD --------- - Reporter The Agricultural Club was established by the Agricultural Depart- ment for the purpose of developing agricultural leaders. There is no vocation in which leadership is in such great demand as that of agricul- ture. The farmer lives an independent, all-to-himself, sort of life. This kind of existence must be broken up. The age of co-operation is upon us and it is the duty of the farmers to get the spirit and learn to work to- gether for better financial and social results. The farmers feel this need as much and more than anyone else, but they have not the individual initiative and leadership to bring it about. This spirit should be instilled into the farm boys and girls. So far, the farm has been sending its young leaders to the city to lead commercial and manufacturing enter- prises. The big problem now is to keep a part of this cream of farm manhood and womanhood on the farm to be leaders in rural betterment. The Agricultural Club is striving to bring about this better condi- tion. The club meets at the noon hour each Wednesday and lunch is served by a committee from the club. About thirty members comprise the club and it might be said that all of them are active because they can not be a member of this club without being active workers. Each member gets a chance to discuss some important farm problem. Two members are placed on the program each week. After they have made their discussions, the subject is open for comment to the entire club. Some of the many problems that have been taken up by the club this year are: “Country and Town Chickens,” “From Producer to Con- sumer,” “Farm House Plans and Architecture,” “The Woman on the Farm,” “The Country Teacher as an Agricultural Leader,” “Rural Recreation,” and “Rural Credit.” @hf (Horn ani Poultry § hmu The Fifth Annual Interstate Corn and Poultry Show was held early in December. It was the most successful, both in exhibits made and point of attendance, of any similar show ever staged by the Normal. Included with the show this year was a short course for both farmers and their wives, consisting of a series of lectures. Numerous features served to make this show exceedingly interesting. One of these was the livestock division. The entries in this class far exceeded previous expectations and some good stuff was exhibited and in some instances close competition existed for the prizes offered. The livestock was assigned to temporary quarters just north of the Auditorium on the athletic field. The agricultural exhibits together with the poultry show were placed in the rear of the Auditorium.. The poultry show deserves especial mention. This was the finest thing of its kind ever seen in Pittsburg and compares favorably with the state poultry show both in point of entries made and the quality of the birds. Entries were made from points scat- A tered all over Kansas and many entries were made from other states. This portion of the show was the subject of much comment. The home economics division played its usual important part in the show, both in the cooking and sewing lines. A large amount of stuff was exhibited in each department and the judges had no easy task in several instances picking out the best articles. Among the social features of the week was a play given by the Dramatic Art Club. One of the best meetings of the week was the one in which President Brandenburg welcomed the visitors to our city and especially to our school. Besides bidding the visitors welcome he delivered one of the best addresses given during the entire course. Another feature of the course was the lectures given both in the farmers’ division and in the home economics department. Lecturers from the state agricultural college assisted in this connection. While the show was the best of its kind ever given, preparations are being made for one next year which will far eclipse it. (Hominmiiratunt 0ag ------0------ “Whatever influence I may be able to exercise at the next session of the legislature, either as an official or as a citizen, and of course I do not know which I will be at that time, will be used in behalf of this school.” The above statement, made by Governor Capper in his Commemoration Day address at the Normal, March 31, was the signal for an outburst of terrific applause. The large auditorium was filled with friends and students of the institution who had assembled for the occasion wondering if the Governor would touch upon the matter. After the applause had subsided he con- tinued: “Perhaps, if I had visited you just after March 29 last year, my reception would not have been so cordial. Every educational institution, and, I believe every penal institution, was asking for a new building. I admit I had to run my pencil through an item for this school. But when the legislature next year takes up the building appropriations I shall say: TPs Pittsburg’s turn next.’ ” The Commemoration Day exercises were held in the Auditorium, be- ginning at 10 o’clock A. M. Governor Capper was the guest of honor and delivered the address of the day. However, a number of other speakers were also present. William Lanyon, Jr., mayor of Pittsburg; Ed. T. Hackney, president of the Board of Administration; Herbert Cavaness, editor of the Chanute Tribune; Senator E. F. Porter of Pittsburg; Frank Powell, editor of the Coffeyville Journal; Grant Waggoner of Baxter Springs, representative from Cherokee County, and Ex-Governor E. W. Hoch told of the founding of S. M. T. N., the growth of the school, its influence on this section of the state, and the future needs of the institution. “The Apple Story” was told by J. T. Moore, and after he had finished several barrels of lucious apples were passed out, the gift of the members of the faculty. In the evening the Annual Commemoration Day Banquet was held in the cafeteria. Professor G. W. Trout acted as toastmaster, the follow- ing toasts being given: “The Early Struggles as Seen by a State Auditor,” Ex-State Auditor James M. Nation of Erie; “Our Growth from the View- point of a Business Man,” C. N. Price of Pittsburg; “Our Growth as Seen by an Editor,” F. W.

Claud O’Dell: “You did sir.” Mr. Crowell: “Well, why didn’t you get out when you were told?” O’Dell: “Well I know when I have a good boss, even if you don’t know when you have a good man.” In illustrating the power of suggestion, Mrs. Mitchell uses the following poem: They met within the shadowy hall. He said, “I brought you roses,” “Thanks,” she said in accents warm, “My, how cold your nose is.” Anyway, the next time the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. give a Christmas party strictly formal in its character, President Brandenburg won’t take it upon himself to invite the whole student body. Earl Strong becomes inspired and says, “'I'lie most precious packages are wrapped in small parcels.” EXTREMES MEETING. Scene—Leslie Pierce calling upon Miss Esther Stocking. She: “My dear, the coal’s all out.” He: “And I’m all in.” “Can any girl in the class tell me the three foods required to keep the body in health?” asked Miss Bales of the graduating class in Domestic Science. There was a short silence, then came the answer, “Yer breakfast, yer dinner and yer Supper.” “Do you think anything can be done with my voice?” asked Don Sloan. “It might he of practical service in an emergency,” replied Prof. McCray. “In the chorus?” asked Sloan. “No, in case your motor car horn was out of repair.” Andy: “When you told her father that you loved her, did he show much feeling?” Chaplin: “Oh, yes.

Changed your ideas about suffrage haven’t you. Two years ago, before we were married, you were all for giving women the right to vote, but now------” t Mrs. Schelly: “Now I’m against it and I’ll tell you why. A woman would use about as much judgment in voting for a man as in selecting a husband and see what a mess she makes of that.” Mr. O'Dell, to student in Zoology at Cherokee: “How does a frog breathe?” Student: “I don’t know.

MISTAKEN. Miss Fern Fair went into a down-town music store. She tripped lightly up to the counter where a new clerk was assorting music. In the sweetest tones she asked: “Have you Kissed Me In the Moonlight?” The clerk turned half way around and answered, “It must have been Mr. Jones, I’ve only been here a week.” “Have you any of Dr. Punch’s Peculiar Prescription?” asked a fair customer of Claud O’Dell, the drug clerk. “No, but we have something just as bad,” was the reply. Ask the Glee Club girls about the Tremont Hotel. Gertrude was home for the Christmas holi- days, and in her honor the old folks were holding a reception. And in their honor Gertie brought forth her new garments. Picking up a beautiful creation, she held it up before an admiring crowd and said: “Isn’t this perfectly scrumptious? Just think all this silk came from the little, insignificant worm.” Her hard-working father looked a moment, his brow furrowed. “Gertrude,” he said, “that is not the way to refer to your father.” RATTLED. It was Randall’s first time to be usher and he was a bit frustrated. Turning to a lady who entered, he said, “This way, madam, and I will sew you into a sheet.” “Father,” said Joe Williams, who had been feeding at the paternal table for a number of years, “I have made up my mind to paddle my own canoe hereafter.” “I am certainly delighted to hear it, my son,” replied the father. “And father,” continued the young man, “I want to begin at once, so kindly let me have ten dollars to buy a canoe and a paddle.” “Imagine Mr. Wells kneeling at the feet of some fair maiden, asking her to be his,” re- marked Prof. Trout in the course of his sociological lecture. Yes, just imagine such a thing. We can’t. After Mrs. Harry McGinnis had visited the Normal her sister-in-law, Miss Gladys Mc- Ginnis, remarked to Miss Ethel Turney, “I have received many compliments today re- garding my sister-in-law.” Miss Turney: “Wait until you get the next one and see what they say.” AS USUAL. Scene—Model School at noon. “Who gave you the black eye, Jim?” “Nobody gave it to me. I had to fight for it.” HANDY. “Willie,” said the Model School teacher, “what is the term ‘etc.’ used for?” “It is used to make people believe we know a lot more than we really do,” replied the bright youngster. Chigger: “They say people with opposite characters make the happiest marriages.” Vie: “Yes, that’s why I’m looking for a girl with money.” HARD ON PEDDYCORD. “The Christmas before their marriage she gave him a book entitled, ‘A Perfect Gentle- man.’ ” “Well?” “This Christmas she gave him ‘Wild Animals I Have Known.’ ” Pierce was hauled before the president for exceeding his vacation leave. ‘Well?” said the president. “I am awfully sorry,” said Pierce, “I really couldn’t get back before. I was detained by important business.” The president looked at him sternly, “So you wanted two more days of grace, did you r” “No, sir,” answered Pierce, off his guard for a moment, “of Marjorie.” Helen Donahey has stopped wearing her wrist watch. She says a tick on her makes her nervous. She: “What made the tower of Pisa lean?” He: “It was built in an age of famine.” Who was she?

Jones:—“No, gentlemen, I no longer dabble in school politics. I’ve entirely gotten over that old idea that the school could not exist with- out me. All I ask now is that the landlady let me sleep each morning, without interruption until 12 N.” Belle Patterson:—“Yes, I know it will be awful lonesome when he goes to Chicago next fall to attend school, but we’ll get along somehow.” Ilo Germar:—“I know that once in a while I’m not with Claud, but you know, there are exceptions to all rules.” Mary Ruth Fisher:—“Can’t this work wait until later? Now, I’ve got to write a 20,000 word thesis to- night for Miss Smith, ta‘ke a food chemistry test tomorrow—and act- ually I don’t know a thing about it —and tomorrow night the Campfire girls—?” Hazel Slayton:—“I never have car- ed how late “Slim” stayed.

For thirty dollars I'd marry a Bengal tiger and live in the cage.” “Do you suppose,” said Burton, “that if I keep on having so many dates that I will finally turn into a calendar?” Miss McClean was addressing a class of small children and she asked how many could tell where the home of the swallow was.

Banzet watched his father attempt to lead the calf from one lot to another. He then said impatiently, “Dad, let me show you how to do that.” Accordingly the younger Banzet took Ids place at the end of the rope and proceeded to tie himself thereto. Half an hour later a neighbor found Banzet and the calf entangled in some brush two miles from home. The neighbor rushed to Ids assistance but was surprised when Banzet, with hair dis- hea veled and clothes torn panted, “Untie the calf, I’ll stand.” The college freshman year was proving very expensive to father, so father decided to have a “heart to heart” with Leroy, home for the week end. “Now son,” he said gravely but affection- ately, “Your mother and I are spending just as little as we possibly can. I get up at 6:30 and work until 5 o’clock. But, son, the money just won’t go around at the rate your expenses are running. What do you think we had better do?” For a moment Leroy’s head was buried in thought, and then lie replied: “Well, father, I don’t see any way out but for you to work nights.” HIS RECORD CLEAN. “Your son doesn’t work very hard in the store since lie left Normal.” W. L. liingo’s father: “No, he doesn’t want to jeopardize his amateur standing.” Reba McCarty to landlady, when inquiring for a room: “Are the girls allowed the use of the parlor to entertain their company?” “Wa’al,” replied the landlady, “the girls what stay here hev only had girl callers. None of them ain't never had any fellers yet. I reckon as how we might allow the parlor to he used.” “Now, boys,” said a practice teacher in history, “can any of you tell me how Cleo- patra died?” “Yes, ma’am, I can,” replied the small urchin at the foot of the class, “she bit her- self with a- snake.” Father: “What did you and Bob Hart talk about last night, dear?” Daughter: “Oh, we talked about our kith and kin.” Small Brother: “Yeth pop, I heard ’em. He seth, “Kin I hev a kith?” and she said, “Yitli, you kin.” Pierce: “I woke up last night with the feel- ing that my watch was gone. The impression was so strong that I got up to look.” Widner: “Well, was it gone?” Pierce: “No, but it was going.” “Papa, didn’t you whip me once for biting baby?” “Yes, my child; you hurt him very much.” “Then papa, you ought to whip Winifred Williams, for I saw him bite sister right on the lips, and I know it hurt heft, for I saw her arms around his neck, and she tried to choke him.” A farmer met Prof. Scheib in his potato patch. Farmer: “How do you keep your garden so well watered?” Scheib: “First, I set a row of potatoes, then a row of onions, and the onions make the eyes of the potatoes run water.” Pres. Brandenburg: “What was your reason for stealing this student’s purse?” Culprit: “I thought the change might do me good.” We don’t pretend to be able to write the recipe but someone should provide Golden Dyer with one which will enable her to syste- matically distribute her affections between half-backs and end-men ere the next football season arives. THE QUESTION BOX (Answers by A. J. Hawker) -------0---- Ruby Me.—No, it is not proper to allow a young man to take your arm in daylight. We suggest you request Merril not to do so. “Slim” E.—Yes Iowa is a long way from Kansas and it costs money to ride. Ask Hazel if she won’t stay here. Fern F.—Almost anything is fashionable for wedding dresses nowadays: organdy, silk, chiffon or crepe de chine, with just a touch of pink or blue. Leota J.—No. my dear, not every one that marries an Earl becomes a Countess,—besides Hudson is no Frenchman. Ezra B.—A suitable gift for your fiancee is one of those new engagement bracelets. They are not so expensive, but the signific- ance is the same as a ring. Have “Myra” engraved on the inside. Sarah S.—No, sometimes one Carr is not followed by another. We suggest you take the one that is waiting now. Romayne P.—From what you write us we fear that you or Anna should give up this brave athlete,—besides, John is so young. Ruby II.—How romantic you must be! Yes, your idea of abbreviating Roper to Roe shows a very artistic temperament, beyond a doubt. Claude W.—Yes, we advise that you finish school before you think of matrimony. Ask Ho, and if she be a sensible girl, we are sure she will agree with us. “Zack” Me.—Your case is of a very unique species, for it seldom happens that a fellow “falls for” so many girls at once. Probably the cause of your affliction is that Cupid has shot you with a machinegun. There is no cure but time. C. O. S.—How rude of you to think of taking a girl out of college who is only a Freshman. We should think that Gertrude would desire to complete her course in I). S. and U. A. at least. Ada J.—What a foolish request you have written us! Of course, it is very improper to sit in the parlor with tine light out. We should think you would know this even if John doesn’t. Guy 1). J.—Your query is very trifling. Any one of your mental caliber should know that it is not dignified to stand in the halls talking about nothing. You might show this to Doris for a hint. Ruth R.—Doubtless the article about your Mr. C. was exaggerated in the Manualite, but then, you know, you and Lloyd should not hold such a grudge against the author. You two should learn to take jokes. Cora W.—If your Robert is the gentleman you write us, do not turn him down just be- cause he chews (spear mint). At any costs Cora, have a Hart for it looks as though if you don’t, Iletta will. Nellie R.—Yes, it is all right to have more than one beau at a time if they do not ob- ject. However, you must be careful for if Brian finds out about Lloyd, he might get slightly peeved. We should think a girl of your age would never dream of staying out as late as 1 o’clock. E. F.—Cheer up, Ed, some good looking girl may take pity on you yet. 1 EM nir S.M.TN Gxad.ua.tt June l llt SELECTED SNAPSHOTS “Did they remember you in the cere- monies ?” “I should say; they threw flowers at me.” “That was nice.” “Yes, but they forgot to take the pots off of them.” “Are you married?” “Yes, but the expression on my face comes from cramps.” “How do you like married life?” “Oh, it’s too expensive. It’s pretty tough when a man pays 30 cents 4i pound for a steak.” “Yes.” “And when you pay only 15 it’s tougher.” “Have you any children.” “Yes.” “Boy or girl?” “No, a musician.” “This is a great country for hogs.” “I noticed that while riding on a trolley car. One man wouldn’t give a stout old lady his seat.” “Let her stand on her feet, eh?” “No, let her stand on my feet.” “Is anybody taking you out to dinner to- night?” “No.” “You’ll be awfully hungry tomorrow.” .Same Graduate. Six Months Later mm The Germ Covered Bucket ----o----- How they saddened this heart, the scenes of my childhood, When dread recollections presents them to view— Malarious meadows and dangerous wild wood. The place where the mushrooms so poison- ous grew; The pond was a cess-pool—the stable stood by it, Draining into the stream where the cataract fell; The poultry yard sat with the dairy house nigh it; And that terible bucket that hung in the well! The fungus-grown bucket, the germ laden bucket, The moss-covered bucket that hung in the well. That desperate bucket I thought was a treasure; I hadn’t the intellect then to feel fear, I drank from its microbes with exquisite pleasure, I enjoyed it as much as a drunkard does beer; How ardent I seized it with hands that were glowing, And quick to the frog-haunted bottom it fell, And soon with the seeds of disease over- flowing, And dripping with typhoid, it rose from the well— That death-laden bucket, disease breeding bucket, That germ-covered bucket, arose from the well! PUBLIC SPEAKING ADVICE. Stand up so you can be seen; speak up so you can be heard; shut up so you can be liked.” Many a man who falls in love at first sight, wishes he had been blessed with a second sight. Miss Concannon: “I’d rather have my teeth pulled out than get a cut made for the Annual. Prof. Pease says we have no business for- getting. We won’t forget you soon, Professor. Not us, oh, no. McClure, to young lady: “I know what kind of a chair Tlep’ is going to make.” Young Lady (Anxiously): “What kind?” McClure: “High-chair.” Proof that Carrie loves Joe. First proposition: Joe loves Carrie. Second proposition: All the world loves a lover. Therefore Carrie loves Joe. That Jess Procter can work cancellation problems. First proposition: All college students can work cancellation problems. Procter is a college student. Therefore,----------- ? ? Collins: “Is Miss Ilencenberger in?” “No, she’s out.” “Well, then call Miss Hoover.” “She’s out too.” “I guess I’ll sit by the fire and wait.” “I’m sorry, but the fire is out.” THE KINDERGARTEN MARCH OF PROGRESS. Miss Schoschusen: “High chairs are no longer in style for children. Prof. Logan: “No?” Miss Schoschusen: “Low tables are now the thing” Exact truthfulness had its proper reward in the following instances: Dr. I).: “What is the olfactory organ? Do you know, Popkins?” Popkins: “Please, sir, no sir.” Dr. I).: “Quite right.” Mike Slattery made a mistake one day and called Hazel Howell, “Hazel Scream.” When he was corrected he said that he supposed that “Howell” and “Scream” were both about the same thing, anyway. Teacher: “Why don’t you talk louder when you recite?” Pupil: “A soft answer turneth away wrath.” “I wish 1 had money enough to get mar- ried,” remarked I. G. Morgson. She looked down and blushed. “And what would you do?” she asked, looking very hard at the carpet. “I would spend it traveling,” he replied. Mother: “Young man, don’t ever let me catch you kissing my daughter.” Bohanan: “No ma’am, I won’t. Prof. Shirk (after long-winded proof) “And now we get X equals ().” Sleepy voice (from rear of room) “Gee, all that work for nothing.” Prof. Bureau: “Who can tell me the dif- ference between lightning and electricity?” Bright Student: “Lightning is free and elec- tricity costs a lot of money.” Miss Roseberry: “What are the four sea- sons?” Domestic Science Student: “Pepper, vinegar, salt and mustard.” Friend of Miss Mellors: “Martha, I’m ashamed of you. I didn’t think you’d do su£h a thing .” Martha: “Why, what have I done?” Friend: “Why, you have taken Hazel’s beau away from her.” “What do you know about the language of flowers, Hart?” asked a friend. “Well,” said Bob, “I know this much about it: a five dollar box of roses talks a heap louder to a girl than a fifty-cent bunch of carnations.” First Student: “What was the most startl- ing exhibition of bad judgment you have seen recently.” Second Student: “Prof. Trout leaving Widner in charge of his sociology class.” If Mike Slattery and Romaygne Pearson would tell what they know about swapping cake for chicken over the back-yard fence “Slim” Ermey might learn what became of the box of goodies his mother sent him. S. M. T. N. IN VERSE. Boys are brightest at S. M. T. N., Hearts are lightest at S. M. T. N., Teacher students are thickest, Courtships are quickest, And knots are tied slickest at S. M. T. N.

Tola: “He says he thinks I am the nicest girl in town. Shall I ask him to call?” “No, dear, let him keep on thinking so.” I’d rather be a Could Be If I could not be an Are; For a Could Be is a May Be, With a chance of touching par. I’d rather be a Has Been Than a Might Have Been, by far; For a Might Have Been has never been, But a Has was once an Are. Miss Crane: “What are the five great races ?” John Taylor: “The 100 yards, the hurdles, the quarter mile, the mile and the three miles.” “How were you on athletics in college, son ?” “I was good at relay events, dad,” ans- wered McClure. “That’s what I understood. Well, you can relay all the carpets your mother had taken up at housecleaning time.” Patterson was disconsolate. Said he: “I asked her if I could see her home.” “Why, certainly,” she answered; “I will send you a picture of it.” “Was your daughter’s musical education a profitable venture?” “You bet! I bought the houses on each side of us at half their value,” replied Mr. Beal. Son of Prof. Trout. “Papa, what does hereditary mean?” Prof.: “Something which descends from father to son.” Son: “Is a spanking, hereditary?” “Is your son still pursuing his studies, Mrs. Ildza ?” “Yes, but it seems to be a stern chase.” Miss Wolcott (to butcher): “How do you Prof. Grubbs: “Why did you come to col- account for the fact that I found a piece of lege, anyway?

There are three kinds of cases, viz.: full cases, empty cases and cases. Every one likes full cases, no one likes empty cases, and two persons only like cases. The latter cases mentioned here is a sort of endearing combination consisting of two persons, male and female. In the Spring the grass comes out on the campus and the cases come out on the grass. They may be seen strolling at all times and all places, for like the poor, we e'er have them with us. It is said that cases are brought on by love. Now love has been defined as a tickling sensation 3round the heart that can’t be scratched, so we may easily gather from this the reason for cases of duration. Cases of all kinds are always ruined by being broken into; full cases, by loosing their tops; empty cases, by losing their bottoms; and love cases by simply being blown up. How- ever, if the latter cases are not disturbed the usual result is that a new bungalow has to be built. In a case of this kind no other case should be allowed to enter. Tracing a case from its origin to the end we have: one smile makes a flirtation; one flirtation makes a case; one case makes an engagement; one engagement makes a marriage; one marriage makes two mothers-in-law; two mothers-inlaw make a red hot time. So the case is ended. A. J. Hawker. KITCHENETTES. 1. To make milk shake, run the cow. 2. To keep fleas from bothering a dog, kill the dog. 3. To keep baby from disturbing your night’s repose, sleep in day- time. 4. To spend the required time on your lessons, put your books un- der your pillow. This never fails. 5. To keep a fellow all the time, make a “beau” of your hair ribbon. 6. To polish silverware, efface the corrosion. 7. To keep saltfish from making you thirsty, don’t eat them.

The making of a Kanza involves an im- mense amount of work. Yet many interest- ing things happen. For instance: last year Abe Oertle, business manager, took a lot of important Kanza material with him one night when he went to call on his best girl. (Her name was Hazel.) He became absorbed in topics more fitting to his nature than Kanzas, and when he bid the fair one good-night, he left the Kanza material. By the next morning he was totally unable to remember where he left it, although it was sorely needed. Ten days later the landlady found the stuff and reported to C. O. Smith, then editor-in-chief. Not, how- ever, until considerable extra expense had re- sulted from Abe’s blunder. Although many months have lapsed since then, no satisfactory explanation has ever come from Abe. N. B. Another guy has superceded Abe in the heart of the young lady who caused the trouble. “Your love,” Chas. Rencenberger said, “would give me the strength to lift moun- tains.” “Dearest,” quoth Miss Alexander, “it will only be necessary for you to raise the dust.” Carey to Reppert: “Your, jokes are good dope, old man.” Reppert: “That so.” Carey: “Yes, they put me to sleep twice.” Armentrout: “What sensation do you feel when you hear my voice?” Agnes Miller: “Sensation to respond.” Girl in chemistry: “Prof. Yates, I don’t understand about these bonds.” Prof. Yates: “Well, now, if I would hold your hand and you would squeeze mine as hard as I squeezed yours, that would be a bond.” Last fall, after Abe Oertle had become comfortably settled in his position at Coffey- ville, he made a date with a Chanute girl, whose name is Mary. Mary met the train at the appointed time, but no Abe appeared. Fifty miles beyond Chanute the conductor aroused' Abe from his dreamy reveries—too late for Abe to save his date. ■ Possible But Not Probable Really, Amy Brandenburg should be more careful and provide Glen Halliday with a chair which will not automatically collapse when he starts to yawn.

Look at a Freshman Then you’ll know it. A GOOD PLACE TO LEARN. “And where is your daughter this year?” asked the visitor. “Why,” replied her mother, “she wants to be a teacher in Domestic Science, and she’s tak- ing a course in household derangements down at the Abnormal School. Katie Lee (coming in after talking to Less Pierce): “Oh! I have got to wash my hands, I have got to wash my hands, I have been playing with a toad. “She is simply mad on the subject of germs and sterilizes or filters everything in the house.” “How does she get along with her family?” “Oh, even her relations are strained.” “Didn’t I give you a piece of pie last week?” demanded the Domestic Science grad- uate. “I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.” “I fooled you ma’m,” replied the tramp, “I didn’t eat it.” “The house fly must go,”4 says the solemn scientist. But that is just the trouble with it. It does go. If it didn’t, we could swat it. A Freshman girl walked into the First Na- tional Bank a few days ago, and stepping up to the window she said: “I should like to open an account at this bank, if you please.” The teller gazed at her admiringly and re- plied: “We shall be very glad to accommodate you. What amount do you wish to deposit?” “Oh,” she said, smilingly, “I mean a regular charge account. You know the kind I mean, such as I have at the department stores.” ’Tis better to have lived and loved Than never to have lived at all. “Pa, what is a football coach?” “An ambulance, I suppose.” AN ESSAY ON CO-EDS -------0------- Ye who believe in the blessings and profits of co-education; Ladies, I mean, who are laboring here at the State Manual Normal. This little essay I tender for sanction or wild disapproval. Written concerning the sweet and the smiling, yet fair and forgetful; Cute and contented, yet clever and bungling in innocent grafting,— It is the sifted revised opinion of co-eds by many. If you believe it, then we are but grateful for your confirmation; If it be false, then discard it, forget it, and say, “I should worry.'” Now on the surface of the crude pseudo-critic might brand you a “co-ed.” Pass the deal onward assuming this class- ification sufficient. While with the prophet who watches and studies your actions and secrets. Notices deeply set traits that well up in you when you're not thinking, And that you slip the mysterious curtain from in-an off moment,— This forms the rare data the seer designs to use in his efforts to brand you. Stab at the high education, a dash of the milder flirtation, Maybe a harsh admonition, perchance there's a case of duration, Seeking connubial ornamentation,—that's thy combination. 1 Many the ways we have lining you us in your numerous classes— Some choose the two classes as city and country and call these the contrasts; Even at that, we can't always distinguish the difference, however. Let us observe in the hallway the different types of these women; Here, now for instance, we see one whose form lends appearance to artists. Few are there of her. Her date-book is dated up years in the future; She is the girl who e'er plays at the game and then gets away with it. Later we hear of her marrying some worthless duckling or other. Strange as it seems, the top liner 'most always descends on a sluggard. While as a contrast, the maiden who reads all her lessons and studies the Marks in the margin will oftener land with a Phi Beta Kappa. Classrooms and offices give us a type still more varied and cunning, They are the girls who delight us—we envy such wonderful stalling. Obvious questions they ask and to answers their heads nod approval They are the really true grafters—professors with such girls are helpless. Now, let us pause while we study our wonderful girls here in Kansas. They are the ones we recall as the life of our great institution Capable of schoolwork and also of sewing or cooking a dinner. This is the one whom we hail with a welcome wherever we meet her. Here’s to the co-ed, the helper and strength of us. We bid thee welcome. —G. E. P. On the way to Springfield with the basket- ball team, Coach Courtright treated the boys to Hersheys. The wrappers were deposited in various places. The coach consigned his to the spittoon. Later the conductor came through in quest of tickets. After a long and vigorous search, during which the conductor lost his patience and the crowd became amused, Courtright dropped to his knees and extracted his ticket from the spittoon. But the treasured piece of cardboard was thor- oughly saturated with tobacco juice. Court- right had to do the blueprint stunt and lay it on the window sill to dry. The “dear little snow birds of winter,” are vthe “cussed little English sparrows of sum- mer,” according to Prof. Trout.

How are you? Have hardly heard of you since our ■graduation from High School nine years ago. By the way, we came down on the train with Neal Smith. I suppose you knew he was a conductor. If you haven’t seen him of late, I’m positive you wouldn’t know him because be has become so fleshy. Do you often hear from the class members, as to where they are and what they are doing? Just last week I received a letter from Helen Strong. She’s a Domestic Science teacher in a college in Arkansas. She said she saw Clara often, as she is a traveling saleslady in the county where Miss Strong teaches.” Then we parted. Florence Caldwell walked up to us at just this moment and said, “Let’s go across the street and have dinner. One of our old friends, Arnold Flottman, owns a restaurant right over there and I’m sure we’ll get an excellent din- ner there for the price, for he was always so reasonable about everything.” “We are very sorry Florence, but we’ve got to catch a certain train. We are going to Kentucky, as Ruth Gertie has asked Ruby to be her bridesmaid. She is to marry the son of a rich miner. Well, we must go. Goodbye.” “We had to hurry and arrived at the depot just in time to catch the train before it had started. After getting on the train we ob- served Hazel sat near and, of course, our con- versation the first thing we knew drifted back to times which were common, or to High School days. She finally said she was going to Nashville, to visit the mayor’s wife, Mabel Roseberry. She was so worried about her poor husband, Weir, for she feared he would get lonesome during her absence.” She also said, “Amy Dennis is teaching in the Girard High School, and that Geneva Jarrell couldn’t decide which of eight fellows to marry, so she decided to settle down and live the life of a bachelor girl.” “Why don’t you call her an old maid, and not use such hightoned language?” I asked. “Well,” said Hazel, “don’t you know the dis- tinction between the two? A bachelor girl has had a chance to marry and has refused, while an ‘old maid’ hasn’t even had a chance.” Hazel had reached her journey’s end and we were so sorry because we were learning about our old friends. We then sat back in our chairs and unfolded our paper.

The trouble lay upon one man’s shoulders. That man, the switchman, wast Roy Roach, who had been keeping late hours, and as a result of this, slept at his post. Miss Pryor was not discovered for some time, but after searching a while, this mighty little personage appeared before us, uninjured. Only a short time following, we saw coming from the remains, another one of our number, Ethel Kuykendall. Had it not been for two alert young men, Randolph Roe and Charles McFerron, a few of the passengers might have been buried in the ruins. Very few (who were not present) realized the honor that should be bestowed upon these two gentlemen, because of their bravery and continued searching for lost pas- sengers. After getting out of the overturned coach, we, with some of our companions, walked into a nearby store, and sent a telephone message to an Auto Service Company for a “Jitney” to take us to our destination, only three miles distant. Only a few moments until a jitney stopped in front of the store. We went into the street and were ready to get into the car before we recognized the driver, Mr. Daniel. On our way to the station, we were engaged in a very interesting conversation, concerning our High School days and our associates. We learned that Coral Bomhoff was head nurse in the Mt. Carmel hospital and that Edith Bay- singer had been married for several years and is now living in dear old Pittsburg. Now, greatly to our surprise, we had reached our destination. Such a short ride; ’twas gone before we knew it. This made us think of high school days because we were not through talking. —Faye and Ruby Wright.

M. T. N.’s Literary So- ciety family, was organized in the fall of 1907. Until this time Professor Russ, founder of the institution, had not allowed any society to bear his name. But when the baby of the family appealed to him he could not refuse, hence we had our first Russonian Literary Society with Miss Eulalia Roseberry as critic. Miss Lora Leach is our present adviser. The Society is still a live wire in the social life of the school; it is not an organization composed of a few select students, but every class in the Senior High School body is represented. We have on our roll at present about sixty enthusiastic members and each year finds this number ever on the increase. We have enjoyed many interesting and instructive programs rendered at the regular meetings held every two weeks. “A friend in need is a friend in deed,” such as Miss Leach proved to the Russonians. That the friendship is mutual we know, as Miss Leach still wears the friendship bracelet links, given to her by the Society in appreciation of her help We are not satisfied to stand still, nor can we think of retrogression, but keeping the significance of our name in mind, and with our motto as a guide, we boldly face the coming of a brighter day for both our school and society. ®s««l iiiglr iFnotball The football season opened with eighteen men out for practice and six “N” men from the team of “14.” The men averaged 140 pounds and were all out to make the team which meant that every one was out to do his best. The team of “14” selected Earl Philips as captain of the squad, who was a well qualified man for the position, and was found on the gridiron early in the season working his men in condition to meet the schedule that was being prepared for the team. The Schedule was as follows: Joplin High School; Columbus High School; Joplin High School; Columbus High School; Caney High School. The first game with Joplin was on our home grounds against a team that outweighed our team ten pounds to the man. We were defeated by a score of 28 to 0. The next game was with Columbus on our home grounds, which was the hardest game ever fought on the Normal gridiron by any team, the score was 0 to 0, but the ball was kept in Columbus territory most of the time. The Normal boys met the Joplin team at Joplin and every man fought until the whistle blew at the end of the fourth quarter, the resulting score was 19 to 6, in favor of Joplin. Two weeks before the end of the season the team went to Columbus to battle the heavy team that had fought us so hard on our home grounds earlier in the season. Early in the game our captain was knocked out and before the end of the game four of our men had been compelled to leave the game on account of injuries. The final score was 45 to 0 in favor of Columbus. Early on the morning of Thanksgiving found the team on the way to Caney with the intention of bringing home a victory. Before the team was far on the road they were greeted by a rain which lasted all fore- noon but upon arriving at Caney they found the sun shining and the field was soon in excellent condition. The two teams met at 3 P. M. and played a hard game which ended with a score of 45 to 9 in favor of the Normal team. The Athletic Association awarded fifteen members of the team with the letter “N.” The letter was awarded to the following members: EARL PHILLIPS .JOHN MONDNEGON WAYNE PRESTON GEORGE-WALKER HENRY GALPINE ROY AMOS FRED WINTERS ROBERT DUNBAR NEAL SMITH CLAYBORN DANIELS HERBERT DANIELS ROY NATION HOWARD TALBERT THADDEUS WILBURN RANDOLPH ROE I Unga Haakrtball WEIR VAN NO USD A EL, Reporter The High School Basketball team was organized early in the season, Fred Winter being elected captain. Mr. Winter proved himself worthy of the position, doing fine work, continuously. The opening game was played with the college “gym” class. When the final whistle blew the boys carried away the honors of the day. Our next game was with Pittsburg High School, but this team, being accustomed to the “Y” court, defeated our noted warriors, 56 to 16. Columbus came next in line, but in the court at Columbus, where the game was played, were four large posts, which made fine hiding places for the Columbus players. The game was somewhat rough, and it seemed as if Columbus couldn't miss the basket. We were defeated, 04 to 28. The boys then journeyed to Arma where they were handicapped by a very slick floor and a low ceiling. Van Norsdall, one of the High School boys, played against his own classmates. Nevertheless the boys played hard and took a very close defeat like real sportsmen. The score was 84 to 32. Frontenac was easy, the boys defeating them in three games, one ev- ening playing two games. The scores were 56-18, 76-36, 39-16. Weir City and Cherokee both had a fast bunch, and our boys met a close defeat at the hands of each school, Weir City winning with the score of 18 to 14 and Cherokee 23-18. The regular team and letter men are: Wm. Mathews, center; George Wells and Donald Ranson, forwards; Fred Winter and Calin Pullian, guards; William Warren, Henry Galpine and Gerald Carter, subs. The boys were real sportsmen and never at any time were willing to give up until the final whistle was blown. Left to Right- WILSON, SMILEY, WRIGHT, McGINNIS, JARRELL, (Capt.) F. WRIGHT, CALDWELL, BENTON 0 dirla’ Hasiu'thall GENEVA JARRELL (Curley), Captain After we girls of the High School found out we were to enter into a basketball tournament, we began working hard, for we were determined to carry off the honor. The first step we took was to elect a captain, Geneva Jarrell, and of course we had to have a yell leader too. She must have lots of “pep” and also plenty of strong vocal chords to show it. The lucky and gifted lady was Miss Adeline Heady, and she certainly proved herself equal to the position. But our next meeting was a most im- portant one, for at it we were to decide who were to be the players. After some time “Curley,” our captain, (better known to some as Miss Jarrell), chose the following line-up: Arville Benton and Maggie Smiley, for- wards;; Gladys McGinnis and Ruby Wilson, centers; Florence Caldwell and Jeneva Jarrell, guards; Ruby Wright and Faye Wright, substitutes. i Our first game, in the tournament, was with the College Seniors and “some” game it was. We had an honest-to-goodness “Mutt” and “Jeff,” which were really our forward, Arville B., and the Senior guard. In spite of the advantage they had of us, in size, we were far more skillful with the ball, and the game closed with a score of 11 to 3 in our favor. Our next game was with the Sophomores. We felt this would be a hard game because we had heard so much about the Sophomore “team.” However, we went into the game with great confidence of victory. The first half the Sophomores were too quick for us and the score was in their favor. The second half we astonished the on-lookers with our speed. We had just awakened to the fact that we were allowing them to win from us, and having made that discovery, we braced up. After all it was a good game, though ending in our defeat by a score of 21 to 17. “A kin?) lirart is a fountain of glatmrss, making rumitlting in its uirinitu frrsltrn into smilrs,” fflftMJPr High School Humor Faye W.: “What makes you look so happy ?” Mertie F.: “I read in the paper this morning that love was a contagious disease, and I am not feeling very well.” WANTED—A neat, little, light- haired girlie, who can love at first sight, also when out of sight.

Payton: “Do you know what is good for rats?” Miss Bailey: “Why, poison, of course.” Payton: “No, that would kill them —cheese.” “Some adjectives,” said Miss Leach, “are made from riouns, such as dangerous, meaning full of danger, and hazardous, full of hazard.

She noticed her partner’s hands were moist, and fearing he might soil her dress, she said: “I wish to goodness you would use your handkerchief.”♦ Whereupon he hastily withdrew his handkerchief and blew his nose.

The following is a High School stu- dent’s reason for studying on Sun- day: “Is not a man justified in help- ing a mule out of a pit on the Sab- bath?

The organizers, realizing that the call of the Twentieth Century is for all-around and systematically developed men and women; men and women who are fully and completely equipped mentally, morally and socially, they began this organization. They began it with that broad purpose of giving the commercial students a better opportunity for de- veloping their faculties in meeting in an organized body for good literary training. The club meets every two weeks with a good program furnished by the members, with one outside speaker. Generally this speaker is a man acquainted with the affairs of the business world, and is able to bring to the students the ideals that the commercial world expects of its successful men and women. The organization is open to all students of the Normal, but we are seeking, as an ideal of the club, men and women who want development, not men and women who are developed; those with ability rather than reputation; we are seeking men and women not alone for the honor of reputation they can bring to the club, but for the good it may do them. It affords a fine chance to its members of keeping well informed on sub- jects that pertain to successful business methods, such as are discussed in the Chamber of Commerce in large cities. Here is a good chance to broaden out. Calendar. COMMERCIAL CLUB SOCIAL EVENTS. Ghost Revelry ..... Thanksgiving Party Holiday Trip ...... Line Party ........ Valentine Party .. St. Patrick Revelry .
