Washington, for a bunch of ex-high school girls started out to acquire fame-and they started their course in a dusty sleepy little town somewhere in the interior of New York state. When we were all ready to knock upon Fame's door, everyone in the class of '18 believed Bernard Shaw's C or it may be O. Henry'sD statement, Great oaks from little acorns grow. That aimless, ideal-less gathering of girls has grown into a class of self-possessed, competent, idealistic workers. The first event that we find recorded in numerous Stunt books is the Get-Ac- quainted party. At the close of the evening we felt that we might recognize Dr. Bliss or Mr. Bennett in a crowd, but several weeks passed by before we were daring enough to call, Hello to everyone we met. Our trip to Mohonk furnished us with many souvenirsg some we carried home in our pockets, and others we shall forever carry in our memories. We shall also carry with us the memory of our first attack of yellow fever but that first attack acted as an anti-toxin so that very few succumbed a second time. When the report cards came out the third time, the number of victims was so small, that we felt that the Junior Class ought to celebrate. Our president called a meeting, and as we really had business to transact, every member of the class was present. At this historical meeting, we decided to have a junior prom on April twenty-eighth, and it was suggested that the decorations be moths and men, carried out in tints of purple and green. April twenty-eighth finally arrived and during the last four hours of that day, every junior looked like society's latest debutante. This burst of gaiety gave us a desire to work harder, so that when we were Seniors we could give another party. When june and Junior assignments came, we were all sorry that our first year at N. P. N. was over, and yet even while we were feeling proud of our Junior Play and our fellow actor-classmates, we were looking forward to the year when we would be Seniors. During that summer we began to realize what it means for a country to be at war, and our attitude toward our school life was greatly changed. As Seniors, our 27 first duty was to help the new juniors get acquainted and we soon found that this was not a duty but a pleasure. Some other duties which we found very enjoyable, were making mittens for the Belgian children and doing Red Cross work when we had study periods. The school calendar stated that the Senior prom would be on January twenty- sixth, but we appointed ourselves Julius Caesars just long enough to change that part of the calendar. We decided to give up our one big Senior party because our country's needs were calling for all our spare time and money, as well as most of the young men. Very soon after we had decided to get along without our prom, Dr. Bliss told us that we would have to get along without a school building, because we had very little coal. Mr. Garfield himself could not have consented to this more cheerfully than did the pupils at N. P. N. The grade children were especially patriotic! Never shall we forget those weeks of boarding house schools! We talked, danced, sang and crocheted between classes, and during our classes we demonstrated the fact that we are intelligent human beings by quickly adjusting ourselves to the new methods of class work. The sands in Father Time's hour glass ran very fast during our Senior year and almost before we thought of our graduation dresses, we made plans for Class day and Senior's were told to bring their invitation money. The few short weeks of May and June dropped quickly into the past, and when we left our Alma lylater we were already wondering when we would be able to save the price of a trip hack to old New Paltz. 28 CLASS OF '18 Genus-Aekroyd Species-M abel DiHerentia-Experience Club Characteristics-Steady and sedate Habitat-Liberty, N.

M. 60 4 NORMAL WANDERINGS Then the many Normal students Learned from Dr. Bliss' statements, Learned that early on the morrow A School would start in boarding houses, Where the rooms were better heated, Where the coal supply was greater, Thus relieve the school's coal shortage. Tonight, said he, this school closes, Likewise does the second quarter, So return all text books promptly, Now, or bring them at one-thirty. Those who should have been a teaching, This next quarter will have lessons, Schedule's out there in the hallway. Then the ladies started forward, They the bustling book returners, They the seekers for new volumes, They the peerers at the schedule Till they knew by heart the routine, Of the morrow's recitationsg All this happened on a Monday, Twenty-eighth of January. For three weeks they did go strolling I From the Clio House to Shafer's, From the A-House down to Wayside, Forth into the gushing waters, Of the street, to Mr. Bennettfs, Gaily with their books and papers. And the blue-jay from the tree-top, Shrieked at them, Beware the side-walk Tis too slippery,-walk the car-track! February brought the closure Of the Garfield schooling program. Home they went for Spring vacation, On the nineteenth, wet and rainy. In the building, reassembled, Fourth of March found every body Ready to resume her studies, For the coal supply was greater, For the rooms were better heated. Thus the Normal Wanderings ended. 61 A.E.B WON BY VOTE It takes your own classmates to size you up! This is what some Seniors will think when they read the following result of the class election. Helen Mc Manus is known to New Paltz Normal girls and will henceforth be known to fame as the Best Sport and the Best Natured Girl in the class. However, Helen did not get the Class Baby vote, for the voters thought it was Mildred Milligan's turn to shine. Mildred's pal and guardian was chosen as the Wittiest Girl, for every Senior has heard N oelda's clever compositions. The class of nineteen hundred eighteen showed its usual good judgment when it voted for Marjory Morris as the Most Popular Girl. Marj. may have been dis- appointed because she was not elected Class Grind, but Marj and Ara Stalter couldn't both have the honor, so Ara was chosen as the best example of overwork. The Class Grouch proved to be Cora Blackmer, and Gertrude Tompkins won the title of Class Bluffer. It was rather difficult to choose the Prettiest Girl from such a large number, but it was generally conceded that Effie Miner qualified for that honor. D. M. T. 62 ' E U Y - The Normal School building is new, attractive, and well equipped. It is pleasantly situated on thc bank of the Wallkill River, and com- mands fine views of the Catskill Mountains on the north, and thc Shawangunk Range on the west. Mohonk Lake and Lake Minnewaska, the famous summer resorts, are easily accessible from New Paltz, which is the station from which visitors take coaches for these Lakes. Conclusion. School Commissioners, City Superintendents, School Officers, Prin- cipals of Schools, Teachers and all others desirous of advancing thc cause of Public Education are respectfully requested to bring the ad- vantages of this 'school to the attention of those for whose improvement it is designed, in order that the benefits accruing to the State may bc commensurate with the importance of the enterprise.

There is a young lady named Stalter, Whose figure we never could alter, Though we fed her on tea Still at just nine and three The horrid old scales yet did falter. II. There is a young lady among us, Who bears the French name of McManus She's exceedingly high And Too fat is her cry, If she knew that we told how she'd can us III. Miss Milligan sure is our pet, And she is the best we could get, For she is so small She's a baby to all And one we shall never forget. IV. There is a young laddie named Crone, Whose voice is the softest in tone, So big is his waist That we know he's not laced, Though he paints his pink cheeks when alone V. Now perhaps you have heard of fair Ruth Who signifies laughter and truth, Yes, Dolan's her name And she has won fame, Though her head is the smallest forsoothe VI. There is a fair student called Stone Who much prefers traveling alone, Though her head is quite large It's no camouflage For she surely has knowledge to loan. VII. There's another that's called Crispell, A fairy like child from the dell, Her feet are so small Can't see them at all And her voice is as clear as a bell. VIII.

The scent of flowers, the buzz of bees, The sound of music through the trees, The lovely green beneath our feet The signs of life, of love we meet. The call of birds, the murm'ring brook The sun so warm, the cozy nook, The And shaded path, the near-by wood, such 3-Well, God, He understood. And then, those Bowers of simple white, just crowned with yellow, are in sight Beside the road-in meadows too They stretch away beyond our view. And look, those fields of gorgeous hue That glisten in the silvery dew And kiss the rays of amber light That play upon the sense of sight. Oh fill your nostrils full of June- That time when nature is in tune- And take her joy where'er you go To heal the heart of friend and foe. Oh month of hope! Oh month of cheer! Oh gayest month of all the year! So much are you to all this earth, No man has power to judge your worth. 65 N. B.

And when the future years shall come In the misty morrow And dreams of youth have brought to all Days of joy and sorrow, Mem'ry then will warm our hearts And bonds we cannot sever. We'll sing again our song of praise- Old New Paltz forever. 68 I NEW PALTZ GIRL Away down south on the old Swanee Where the little pickaninnies dance and sing, The old school house I'd love to see Where merrily the children's voices ring That's where my Adelina toils With boys and girls galore, To teach that four plus five times four Are nothing more or less than twenty-four.

She teaches them phys'ology, About their ribs and eyes, And language work is their delight They diagram and parse and analyze. We soon will settle by the old Swanee When the days of teaching school are in the past. A teacher's life you will exchange For a wedding-ring and settle down at last.

'Tis the goal of a haunt that was dear of old, 'Tis Wrapped in a memory cloak, And alas, it's dearer to my sad heart Than the most majestic oak. Oft, so oft, in the days that are gone, We idled there, he and I, And the bark of the birch in the Wildwood green Bears the date of that day gone by. For there in the sunny youth-time, We whispered our promise of love, And only the birch was the wiser, And the birds and the sky above. Ah, so long ago in the youth-time, So long ago in the wood, But still our names on the grey birch tree, And the love in our hearts is good. And now through the long cool summers I kiss the name on the tree, But he sleeps 'neath a name that is carved on a cross In a still grave, over the sea. JW. lf.

All the worried committee members were delighted with the results of their carefully laid plans and they had good cause to feel happy. It seemed as if all the moths and butterflies from the woods and meadows of this pretty little village had been captured and then set free in the gymnasium. Delicate green and lavendar moths hovered over the heads of the pale pink, yellow, blue and white butteffiies who were dancing with convential beings called men. When the joy- ful tunes of the fox trots and one steps changed to a waltz, the dancers began to realize that their evening of fun was almost over, and with the last strains of Home Sweet Home , over one hundred Cinderellas left the ballroom with their princes. This year the Junior Dance was much like a military ball. Festoons of red, white and blue, decorated with French and American cockades swayed above the blue and khaki uniforms of many soldiers and sailors. The military formality of the uniforms and decorations was relieved by the dainty gowns of the girls and the joy-lit faces of all the dancers. That good time ended as all good times must, and every one was ready to think more seriously, and happily of the great things of the day, because of this evening of glad recreation. 72 ,w v S kik' Vi ALUMNAE REUNION The program for the Alumnae Reunion was an ever changing list of delightful- ness for both the Alumnae and the Seniors. It began Friday evening with the Indoor Meet, when some of the fortunate young school marms arrived in time to whoop it up with the youngest and oldest pupils in school. Some of our former graduates so completely forgot their newly acquired dignity that they took part in the most exciting race of the evening. Saturday was spent in renewing old friendships and acquaintances. The Post Office was crowded more than usual and a stranger would have estimated the attendance at the Normal to be about seven hundred girls. The Alumnae Party took place on Saturday evening, March ninth. The first part of the evening's entertainment consisted of two solos, a piano solo and a speech by Dr. Kimball, of the Local Board. Dr. Bliss made every one happy by propos- ing plans for a bigger reunion next year. Then the first part of the program ended with a rousing chorus, The Star Spangled Banner. The annual business meeting of the Alumnae 'Association was held in another room, while the Seniors started to complete the evening by dancing, butit was not until after the meeting that the fun was the greatest. Then everyone did heis best to make the 1918 Reunion the most enjoyable one that has ever occured in the history of reunions at N. P. N. 74 P XX Q' 'R CLASS POEM I. Far from across the ocean Born on the smoke of the night, Comes to our dell in the mountains A cry from the men who fight. Hundreds of homes about us Shrouded in empty despair Seek from the world about them Some ray of faith to share. II. Think ye we sit here idle, Watching this picture of pain? Hearing these hearts in torture Call us again and again? When all of the world is in service Forward we go to serve, too, And the Brown and Gold we are leaving To carry the Red, White and Blue. III. Into the lives of thousands By way of the wor1d's child heart, By way of the countless children Who form the world's great part- We go to the soul of the nation And teach of the wonderful worth Teach of the blessing of Freedom Of Liberty's golden truth. IV. We go to refill the armies With men who are willing to fight For Great America's Freedom For Liberty and for Right We go to relieve the desolate, We bring to them hope and cheer By teaching their children courage, And the fallacy of fear. V. Oh, ye, who are out there bleeding, And ye who are keeping home fires, We are with you and helping, Raising your young from the mites Helping rebuild your country, Keeping her standards high, Teaching your children to love her ' While men of America die. VI. Then on with the colors, Classmates, Farewell, ye Classic Hall- With the armor ye have given us We answer our country's call.

In the first place, there was only one Week in which the budding composers could write the Red and Green songs, then, too, the contestants had only one week to practice. The third reason for its difference was that all of the contests were planned to represent patriotic ideas. A relay in which the boys vaulted was called 0ver the Top and there was another relay in which the object was to see which side could get the most Liberty Bonds. The setting up drill by the High School boys and a flag dance by the Juniors carried out the idea further. To complete the different Indoor Meet , the Greens won! Although the Reds made a bold and clos'e fight, it was the Green colors which were fiying at the top when all was over. No one who has ever attended an Indoor Meet would need to be told that the yells and songs were as full of pep as the soup Alice saw made when she visited Wonderland. Since March eighth was the night before the Alumnae Reunion, as well as the night of the Indoor Meet, the gymnasium was crowded with former students of the Normal. First the piano on the Green side started a march, and in came the Greens, determined to beat if there were any beating done. Almost immediately the Red march began. Victory, dressed in red and white, came first, leading the drooping green-garbed Kaiser by a chain. The Reds had an attitude fully as con- fident and determined as that of the Greens, and their confidence never faltered until they realized that the Tug-of-War had been won by the Greens. Thenthe poor old Reds showed what good sports they were by applauding while the victori- ous Greens did a war dance in the middle of the gym floor. The big night of fun was over, the Greens had won, and the Indoor Meet was the best ever! ' G. C. 76 l GREEN SONG Tune- W hen Yankee Doodle Marches through l3erI1'n. Here we come--we're the Greens, And the drums are beating, There'll be no retreating We'll be there, playing fair, For there's victory in the air And we'll win, yes we'll win Then we'll toot our horns with all our might, For when the Greens come marching in the Gym, Therc'l1 be a hot time for the Reds to-night. Tune-' ' Long Boy. Oh you Reds! Oh you Reds! Oh you Reds with the big swelled heads You may have won in former years But we bet by gosh you'l1 be in tears Oh you Red Team better fear We'll take your rep for a souvenir Give you a doll and a peppermint stick, And show you how the Greens can lick. RED SONG Tune-' 'Over There. Red Team ,get your pep, get your pep, get your pep! Hurry right away, don't delay, its just play. Hear them cheering you and me We are Reds, oh don't you see? We are sure to win, in the Gym with our vim, Make old New Paltz proud to have had such a crowd Tell your comrades not to fear But to cheer and cheer and cheer! CHORUS Reds are here, Reds are here! Send the word, send the word, Reds are here! Oh! the Reds are winning, the Reds are winning You bet they never have a fear, See us score, more and more, We are here, how they cheer, vict'ry's nearx We are winning, the Reds are winning And we won't give up till the Greens do disappear. 77 I. l .... 1111511 Star light, star bright First star I see to-night, I wish I may, I wish I might I-Iave the wish I wish to-night.

There were lessons she learned and meetings attended Then off for a hike when the days work was ended She remembered the Prom, the gym, trimmed so gay, And the part that she took in the big junior play, So on through the year her memory Hits 'Till vacation appears and homewards she tripsi She gets some new gowns and comes back, neat and trim To take to her teaching with vigor and vim These latter days pass and Commencement draws near Her job is assured her, she has not a fear, So she eagerly waits for that bright gladsome day, When for services rendered she gets her first pay. 80 '....-A.. n JUNIOR DAY One of the privileges and delights of the New Paltz student is that of living and studying in the green beauty and cool shadows of the Shawangunks. Many of the pictures she sees in her life here at school must fade in the long days to come, many faces must be forgotten, many ideas change. But pictures she carries away of the mountains will never fade, change, nor be forgotten, as long as Mohonk stands, a monument to her school days. The first time the class of '18 visited this mountain, was on junior Day, in October. Never is the scenery there so lovely as when October tints and shades are dropped in artistic dots in every nook and on every slope. Early in the morning the caravan started-six or eight carriages full of ban- ners, songs, lunches, girls. The morning was perfect, and the mists rose from Sky- top when the gay crowd drew nearer, as though some unseen hand lifted the scarf for the first time from a splendid piece of sculpture. Slowly the carriages moved as the ascent grew steeper, grander and more ex- quisite grew the beauties on every side. Great trees, as beautiful as any loved and tended by nature, marked the turns in the road, mosses covered huge rocks, filled crevices and dripped from branchesg birds revelled in fields of cut harvests, tiny animals rustled about in the bushes and mocked curious stares,-nuts dropped stealthily beside the trees, as though they ran away and feared detection-and wider, grander, more superb grew the view of the valley every minute. As the carriages halted to rest the horses, the babbling ceased-everyone looked and looked and looked for looking was delight. Too soon the road ended at Picnic Lodge, the wagons were unloaded, the tramp- ing began. It was interrupted by lunch, which was a jolly occasion, under the trees on the rocks. After lunch, however, explorations began again and no unfor- bidden spot went unseen or unadmired that afternoon. s When it was five o'clock, a tired, happy crowd assembled at the Lodge and through the golden twilight, rode quietly down the mountain. ' Many a time since then have little groups of the class gone up to Mohonk and to Minnewaska, and each occasion has been gladsome. But of all the days the class of '18 has spent together, the one that brought the greatest joy was the first, the Junior Day. 82 1 ml I I -Al l 1916-1917 September 13 October 12 November 17 Nov. 29-Dec. 4 December 22 January 3 February 2 February 5 March 3 April 6 April 17 April 28 june 24 June 25 June 26 June 27 SCHOOL CALENDAR First Term begins Junior Day First Quarter ends Thanksgiving Recess 4 School closes for Holidays School reopens Second Quarter ends Second Term begins Indoor Meet Alumnae Reunion Third Quarter ends Easter recess School reopens Junior Prom Commencement Sermon Faculty Reception Class Day Junior Play Commencement 84 1917-1918 September 12 October 12 November 16 Nov. 28-Dec. 3 December 21 January 7 January 25 January 21 March 8 March 9 March 29 April 10 June 23 June 24 June 25 june 26 THE NEW PALTZ STATE NORMAL SCHOOL THIRTY-SECOND COMMENCEMENT SUNDAY June Twenty-third, Nineteen Hundred Eighteen DOXOLOGY INVOCATION HYMN--ANCIENT OF DAYS Ancient of Days.

Crone Someone has written In Tune with the Infinite. VVe are led to believe that the author was not a New Paltz graduate, for what we want is a book entitled In Tune with Mr. Bennett, by one who has been so fortunate as to belong to the junior Literary Society. Why? Because to be in tune with Mr. Bennett is to be in tune with some of the most delightful melodies in literary music. In those never- to-be-forgotten meetings he presented many different phases of this literary music. After listening to the lullabies of Eugene Field, we were quite in the mood to hear some of james Whitcomb Riley's melodies for children. The warm southern melo- dies of Paul Laurence Dunbar and the frolicsome tunes of Stephen Leacoek and O. Henry are songs which will ever remind us of junior Lit. We shall long remember our acquaintances at N. P. N., but among those we shall never forget are the author friends introduced to us in our junior year. AV. M.

This dislike is manifested by the usual combination of sighs, grunts and facial expressions registering several emotions from anger to absolute boredom. It is not long before the girls realize their mistake, rectify their hasty judgment and become interested in the work. One' bright brisk winter morning following a light fall of snow we see a girl warmly wrapped, possibly on skiis or snowshoes, making her way along the road until she discovers some tracks in the snow. These tracks may lead across the fields or through a wood, retrace, turn and go on-telling by their firmness or un- steadiness, length and imprint, the story of their originator. And long before she has found the end of the trail she is rejoicing in Agassiz. As spring approaches girls-by two's, three's or in small groups may be discovered eagerly watching for our songsters. There is much friendly rivalry to see who is the earliest observer of our Hirst robin or Hrst bluebirdf, Later on, bird-houses are made by the girls or kindly disposed friends, and then put up in suitable places. It is a pleasant sight to watch Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird prospecting for a house, carefully inspect the house you offer, consider it and finally move in. Still another girl will specialize on trees or insects and with great pride enu- merate their marks of differentiation to her less learned sisters. However, all are unanimous in their desire to become better acquainted with Mother Nature and her brood and to help her protect and aid those who make our woods, fields and gardens so attractive. The field in which to learn is boundless and the scene ever changing. If one likes variety it is supplied by the many phases of the seasons. If solidity and sta' bility are preferred they too are prominent-the stately trees and the 1'lVC1'S, flow- ing ceaselessly and apparently unchangingly. Much of the pleasure we have derived from the course and what we have learn- ed we owe to Miss Thurston who has so willingly explained all which seemed diffi- cult and who by her own interest and enthusiam has roused us from lethargy and inertia to animated and active efforts for the knowledge of this wonderful world about us. 97 M.

Follow her and you will see her disappear into the Art Room where Miss Badger and Mrs. Kimmey are busy giving help to a company of girls, known as the Arts and Crafts Club. Each and every member is bent on producing a masterpiece of art. Along the walls you will see some creditable results of these efforts-copies in charcoal of favorite pictures, designs for the class window, toys, and Liberty loan posters.. These are the apparent results of the work of the Arts and Crafts Club but the ultimate gain is more far-reaching than the walls of the Art Room. Every member takes with her not only her charcoal picture but also a better knowledge and love of the beautiful. M. -1. L. 98 J. tx I :il-il n . e U .

COURTSHII9 O, we walked around the garden, We wandered o'er the land, The moon shone very brightly, And I held her little-shawl. O! I held her little shawl, CHOW fast the evening Hies,l As we sat upon the benches, I gazed into her-lunch basket. ' Ol I looked into her lunch basket, And at her pretty face, And my arm so very slowly, Slipped around her dainty--umbrella. With my arm around her umbrella, She was a charming Miss, Her face was very charming, And I shyly stole a-way. M. C. M THE MAN IN THE MOON The Man in the Moon sees lots of things, What a wise old man he must be, His heart must be tender, and oh, but wait- Not a sign of a heart has he! But somewhere back of that shiny face, There's a shiny pate, I'm sure, And that's where he puts the things he learns, On his long late midnight tour. And why does he shine so roguishly, Then sometimes why all those frowns? Oh, he's a jolly old saint, I'll bet, He knows all our ups and downs. And what a good time he has up there. And how he must laugh at us, At our funny mistakes and foolish ways, At our little noise and fuss, Ah, well, laugh on, you jolly boy, And keep your merry pace, And don't you tell a thing you see, Nor hide your jolly face. M. E. C. 102 THE LIBERTY BELL RINGS AT N. P. N. The voice of the Liberty Bell was first heard in 1776, when its clanging tongue spoke dehance to tyranny and promise of independence to a new nation. In 1917 a similar spirit was awakened by it's inaudible clarion call. The results of the first Liberty Loan are now recorded as history. The whole nation responded nobly and when the slogan Buy a Bond reached the little town somewhere between the Hudson and the Walkill the New Paltz State Normal School answered by giving for the first and second loans 5lFl7,500. This spring a continuous thrift stamp drive has been made in the grades, with more than 351220 as a result. Then the Independence Bell rang a third time and since Dr. Bliss knew that wc would all be anxious to lend a hand by lending some money, he placed a plac- ard in the corridor- Keep buying coal to make it hot for the Kaiser and his crew. To this the girls fiocked like bees to syringas and when the drive had ended, 315,524 more was added to N. P. N's. honor roll. At the Liberty Exhibit, which was given early in May, other results of theLiber- ty Bell's appeal were seen. Surely the workers who made those attractive posters and ingenuous toys must have been inspired by the same spirit of patriotism which has ever awakened to the call of the Independence Bell. H. Mc.

Do you wonder why I look as if A sword were hanging o'er me, As if I feared some awful doom I felt to lie before me? Do you wonder why I seem to fear? Oh! give me consolation! For on this day, a week from now, I give my declamation. If you get an A or B, Keep a-goin'! If you get a D or Z, Keep a-goin'! y Ain't no use to sit and fret If you don't like what you get, Wake up quick, there's time left yet. Keep a-goin'! Joys of History When you're picking out your subjects, With your program on your lap. Your eyes may fall on History You think you have a snap. You may listen to the stories That some other fellows give And think that you'll do better When you tell how people live. But your time will come too quickly And when you start to speak Your voice begins to tremble And your throat begins to squeak. And your knees begin to wiggle And you feel you've turned to stone, And when it's time to take your seat, You've lost your whole backbone. 106 D. J. L A. L. I.. LaG E. 'L.

My Diihr, he replied Wherever we go 'tis for you to suggest The place of all you'd like the best. I know the place-where the Waters are blue And the houses and Barnes are pretty too.

And at night the fairies play Where the lab'rers dig all day. Can't you hear their silver voices Singing out each pretty lay? Oh! the New Paltz Normal School Where you're not allowed to fool And each girl comes out a teacher By the good old fashioned rule. Then the picks go tinkle tinkle and the dynamite goes boom! And the rocks and dirt fly skyward till they make a mighty gloom- But the sun shines from the mountain and clears away the air Till each little purple shadow Falls from e'en a tiny hair.

Oh! the New Paltz Normal School Where you're not allowed to fool And each girl comes out a teacher By the good old fashioned rule. But the new school is beginning and we hope 'twill not be long 'Fore its lofty walls are towering then we'll all come out in song Hail! our New Paltz Alma Mater! Hail our school of great renown! And each one will thrill with pleasure from his feet up to his crown. And at night the fairies play Throwing roses for the day When the new school will be finished, U And we all can proudly say, Oh! the New Paltz Normal School Where you're not allowed to fool And each girl comes out a teacher By the good old fashioned rule. E. B. V. 109 THE MOONLIGHT MEETING 'Twas the night before commencement And all through the school No book was in evidence, Nor pencil, nor rule, The halls were deserted The rooms were bare too And Juniors and Seniors No lessons would do, The moon in the sky Looked down on the town, Pray what is this stirring? Who walks up and down? When what to her wondering eyes should appear, But the girls of the school Drawing rapidly near, Their footsteps were dancing, Their faces glad too Their tongues, they were chattering, As girls' always do. Right on to the Normal The columns advance, Draw up at the entrance, And then at a glance A damsel breaks from them So gallant and gay, Springs up on the steps And the moon hears her say, Dear friends we are ending Our school days so bright, Let's all give three cheers To banish each fright. No lessons plans now To be written each week No lectures so gentle To frighten the meek No practice in Palmer Now back hand for me The beauties of Palmer I never could see. The speech being ended, The girls all arose, While the sound of their cheering Woke the moon from repose, ' But she heard them remark As they all passed her by, We love you old N ormal- Now bid you good-bye. 110 R.

T was William Morris, artist and craftsman, who said that the most U5 prevalent human weak- ness was a desire to. get something that looked .as if it cost twice as much as it really did. How aptly this applies to many buyers of printing. They want the appearance of a high class production, but they want it at half price. Disappointment and dissatisfaction are sure to follow the delivery of half price printing. It is bound to fall short in some respect. It is a paste jewel which can never be exhibited with honest pride. You know it isn't genu- inely good, and you fear that others will detect the imitation.
