If J, ftije Carbtnal fje Class of 1932 I8ti) Cbition the: cardinal THE. CARDINAL Jforetoorb tt ith some sadness and regret ice, the I Class of 19)2, complete our student days at Plattsburg State Normal School. That the life of the institution, of which we were a part for three years, might be pre- served and somewhat accurately recorded for the future, we have devoted the energies of our hearts, minds and hands toward the creation of this traditional memorial, The Cardinal. It has been a labor of love. May the pages of this book forge one more link in the golden chain of the life if attempts to reflect. THE CARDIAL JBebtcatton | e, the Class of 1952, in appreciation j of his devoted service to 11s, do hereby dedicate this, the eighteenth volume of The Cardinal, to our loyal friend and able adviser, H. Otis Noyes ©ebtcatton Piograpfjp Mr. H. Otis Noyes was born in Woodstock, Maine. He attended the public schools of that place until his Junior year in high school when he moved to Portland, Maine, where he completed his high school course in the Deering High School of that city. In 1917 he entered the University of Maine, graduating from that institution in 1922 with a B.A. degree. During the World War he served with the 212th Engineers. His first teaching position was in the High School of Danforth, Maine, where he was instructor in Social Sciences and French, and served as Vice-Master. Later he became a member of the Haverhill High School Faculty, Haverhill, Mass., serving as instructor in Social Sciences. This position he resigned sometime later to become Head of Social Sciences in Melrose High School, Melrose, Mass. In 1927, Mr. Noyes received his M.A. degree from Columbia University. The last part of that same year he became a temporary member of the faculty at Plattsburg State Normal School. In 1928 he was appointed Head of the Department of English and Literature in Plattsburg State Normal School which position he holds at the present time. The Class of 1932 was very fortunate, indeed, in securing Mr. Noyes as its Faculty Adviser. During the three years we have been in Normal, he has shown him- self to be a man of rare abilities, and, in every respect, he has been a most true and helpful friend to all members of the Class. With genuine pleasure the Class of 1932 extends to Mr. Noyes its best wishes for happiness and success in future years. « 8  the: cardial gnstoer to Metrication To the Members of the Class of 19)2: You arc about to enter upon the great adventure. Young, hopeful, virile, you are starting down the road at whose terminal looms the eternal question mark. May this road be rilled with zestful sunshine and refreshing shadow and may the journey itself be not too exacting. If the end of the trail does not reveal the wealth of the pot of gold, may it bring you the wealth of well-earned happiness and contentment. As a class and as individuals, you have shown marked improvement during the past three years. You are going out into a world whose society is undoubtedly more complex than that of any other period of civilization. Adjustments will not always be made easily. However, among the mazes of radical suggestions and conservative ad- monitions, there are certain fundamentals which always have been fixed in value. There are no substitutes for honesty, tolerance, industry and character. Give these four friends a chance to influence your life and the results will not be disappointing. 1 congratulate you upon your graduation. You have made a fine start in your chosen profession. Remember there is no service of greater value than that rendered by the true tf.acher. As you succeed or fail, you will not only bring happiness or sorrow to yourself but you will also bring one or the other to those who are spending their lives that you, and others like you, may be of service to mankind. My relations with you during the past three years have been pleasant indeed. In one sense I am sorry to have you leave the Normal for you will be missed. How- ever, in another sense I am glad that you have achieved this particular goal. My part- ing wish is that Life may deal kindly with you and bring to each of you the fullest measure of success and contentment. !. j  THE CARDIAL To the Class of i )}2: You are about to enter a well-organized field of activity. There is no apparent lack of machinery in it and its operatives are plentiful. In this field you are becomingly ambitious to achieve some place of honor and distinction and this ambition is seconded by our sincerest hopes and encouragement. All places to which you may aspire are places of honor if you will make them so and may be developed also into places of distinc- tion through your own efficiency and spirit of concentration. But well-recognized places of distinction which have been made so by the brain-toil and the heart-toil of those who have preceded you are more difficult to come by. They are the prizes which wait for superior excellence and superior effort and superior courage in a competition as keen and strenuous as that which won the laurel crown in ancient days. Be assured that our interest will always follow your careers, that our helpfulness will always be at your service and that success commensurate with your deserts will bring to us rejoicing. « 1 1  T L CARDINAL © PS © .1932 N.S«f THE CARDIAL Carbtnal £? tatf Editor-in-Chief (Assistant Editor-in-Chief Doris King Sybil Brown ' Business â– Dlanager (Assistant ' Business {Manager Roderick Buckley Edward Lavigne â– Advertising •Manager (Assistant (Advertising -Dt onager Elizabeth Phelps Harold Hartwell (Til usic editor Francis Pierce literary Editor (Assistant literary Editor Dorothy Tart Mildred Leazott ' Rural Editor Frances Hunter (Art E ditor (Assistant (Art Editor Marian Call Pearl Hedding Science Editor Margaret Racette Joke Editor Mary Finnessey (Assistant joke Editors Margaret Brennan Anita Wolcott (Alumni Editor Margaret Quinn Junior ' Representative Freshman ' Representative Mildred Carter Marjorie Rock toe nl ty tAd i isers Paul H.

Teachers marveled, they threatened, they scolded, they praised, and they grew gray. Results — a sur- prisingly good paper, a surprisingly bad paper, a genuine interest, a lack of interest, off days, on days, in fact, about what you would expect from a Freshman Class. The class went on, unmindful, with Mr. Brown etching lines of age on his hithcr-to untroubled brow in the honest effort to keep the class on the straight, narrow, and less appealing path. It was a stroke of genius that prompted them to elect as president, Ruth Gonyea, unexcelled in ability and optimism; as vice-president, Margaret Coopy; as secretary. Bertha Jaques; as treasurer, Bernice King; and as Cardinal representative, Mildred Carter. Still there is a rumor that Mr. Brown drew his inspiration in designing the best looking class banner since ' 90 from that same Freshman Class. Any member of the Class of ' 33 will promptly admit that the Mid- Year Ball, which they sponsored, was a howling success. Wasn ' t it the only dance recorded in the history of the school at which there was enough punch to satisfy every thirsty dancer? The upperclassmen had no sooner recovered from this unheard of feat when the Class again astounded the Normal in giving proof of the fact that black face may be becoming as well as amusing. And so ' til the end of a successful Freshman year. Enter into the Junior year of the Class of ' 33. Forward march! Heads erect, chests up, abdomens in, weight forward — In the lead are Louise Lenaghen, president, Charles Keedle, vice-president, Frances Holland, secretary, Ruth Gonyea, treasurer, and Mildred Carter, Cardinal representa- tive. The Class has lost a few old members, and has gained a few new ones. The Class of ' 33 mourns a real comrade and student, Miss Frances Bissonnctte. During the past year a new seriousness and strength has come to the members of the Class. Some of them have had their first taste of actual teaching, and it tastes like more. A demonstration of the new dignity of the Class was given in an assembly pro- gram showing what the well directed gym class would do in thirty minutes. Further demonstrations will be given in the activities to come. The Class already plans a little more musically inclined orchestra, a little more artistic decorations, a little better punch, in fact, a little more successful Prom than has ever before been given.

So goes the well-known and oft-repeated saying, so do not be at all surprised if the history of 1934 runs very much in the same path as have those of many other Freshman classes you have seen or heard about. There is, however, this one distinguishing trait. We admit the similarity! Early in September, 1931. we organized as a class with the selection of class officers as our first notable act. The election proved the ability of the class to choose for real worth. Edwin R. Funnel!, president, Alice L. Bolles, vice-president, Edmund W. Merrihew, treasurer, Constance M. Kearney, secretary, and Marjorie A. Rock, Cardinal representative, have proven themselves to be an excellent staff of leaders. With the selection of Green and Gold as our class colors, the Yellow Rose as our flower, Sincerity; Simplicity; Service as our guiding motto, and Mr. Paul H. Hartman of the faculty as our Class Adviser, we were all set to take our place in the life of P. S. N. S. That our final step in organization was wise has been amply demonstrated since, for we have b;en saved many mistakes and generously aided toward our several successes by Mr. Hartman. Early in the year we were given an opportunity to show the artistic talents within our ranks when several Freshmen were selected for roles in the annual Cardinal play, usually acted by upperclassmen only. That they all acquitted them- selves well was the verdict of both press and public. On November 19 we presented our first social affair, a return dance to the Seniors and Juniors. Those who attended were loud in their congratulations and ap- preciation of the finished and altogether pleasant party the Freshmen had planned and carried through. Eighteen faculty members were present, and that ' s a record, so we have been informed, for informal parties of recent years. Immediately after the mid-year exams, in which we were quite successful, capable chairmen formed committees for our formal Mid-Year Hop, which we presented February 5, 1932, in the ball-room of the Masonic Temple. We were very fortunate in obtaining an excellent orchestra, the Clarkson Melody Boys, from Clarkson College. We have been so highly congratulated on this, our first attempt in sponsoring a formal dance, that we can state, with confidence, that it was a huge success. From February to June, with the exception of our assembly program March 17, a St. Patrick ' s Frolic, which, if seen, needs no words of praise, we have conducted our- selves as humble freshmen should, and allowed our upperclassmen to bask in the spotlight. Of course we shall be glad to take up our duties next year in our magnificent new building, but we shall always remember, with a glow of pride and pleasure, our Freshman year in the City Hall, with some work, some play, and all kinds of bright hopes for the future. _ Mariorii: Rock. « 60  THE.

Within two short days we shall have reached our goal towards which we have been striving for three years. We are about to go forth into the arena of human activity, to shoulder the responsibility of moulding the character of youth and of enlightening others as we have been enlightened here. But our joys are tinged with sorrow at the thought of parting with our friends and school. Doctor Hawkins and members of the faculty: You have given us of the best professional equipment. You have stimulated our minds for the finer things of life. Words will never be able to express our appreciation of your unselfish devotion to make our Normal course the most profitable and happy years of our lives. Juniors and Freshmen: We bid you farewell. In a word of parting, we ask you to carry on into the new school the fine traditions of our Alma Mater, which we have cherished and preserved. We want to thank you for your fine cooperation. We have enjoyed your friendship and for most of us this is our farewell forever. Good-bye. Classmates, as this is the last time we will meet as an undergraduate group, I wish to thank you for the honor you have bestowed upon me in giving me the chance to serve you for three years as president of our class. We have solved some hard prob- lems together. They are insignificant when compared to the problems we are about to face, but let us strive for the same success. Remember our password: Nulla Vic- toria Sine Laborare — No success without work. Edward Lavigne, ' 32. « 65  ftemor Class istorp It was a beautiful day in September, 1929. when forty-one people entered the portals of the City Hall to register as Freshmen in the Plattsburg State Normal School. We were timid, inexperienced Freshmen, but we soon lost this attitude by making many new acquaintances. Our anticipations were many, and the best of these have been realized to the fullest extent. The first social event of our entering year was given in our honor by the Juniors and Seniors. Here we lost some more of our shyness and found the upperclassmen very friendly. We returned this favor later with a dance. The organization of our class was a most important event. Class officers were elected to guide us through the year. Edward Lavigne was chosen president; Doris King, vice-president; Sybil Brown, secretary; and Ann Humphrey, treasurer. Mr. Noyes was chosen to be our adviser. At another meeting we chose a motto: Nulla Victoria Sine Laborarc, which has been our guiding star throughout our three years. Our class colors were to be Black and Silver, and our class flower, the Yellow Tea Rose. Frances Hunter was chosen to represent our class on the Cardinal staff. Is it necessary to mention our first initiation into examinations in January? Frightened again, but we all survived and were able to attend the Mid-year Ball at the Masonic Temple. This was the big event of our Freshman year and we were proud of its success. The Temple was resplendent in our colors, black and silver. Our class banner made its first public appearance here and we were proud of it. In May, rumors were heard of a moonlight sail on Lake Champlain. The sail proved most successful, both financially and otherwise. Then final examinations, and our first year was over. Half reluctantly, we packed our bags for the summer vacation. We returned the following September a little more dignified because we were Juniors. At our first class meeting we re-elected F.dward Lavigne and Mr. Noyes to their respective positions. Patricia Kelly was chosen vice-president, Mildred Leazott. treasurer, and Louise Washburne, secretary. Our Cardinal representative that year was Doris King. Looking forward to our Senior year and the edition of our year book. The Cardinal, we needed two responsible persons to have charge of it. We chose Doris King as editor-in-chief and Roderick Buckley as business manager. Wishing to make this year more outstanding in achievement than our past year, we decided to sponsor a series of lectures which proved both educational and interesting. Again we decided to have another moonlight sail on Lake Champlain. This sail proved even more successful and delightful than the first. But the outstanding event of the year, the one for which we had waited so long, was the Junior Prom at Leonard ' s « 66  Pavilion. One of the numbers on the program drew our special attention, Schoolday Memories, by Francis Pierce. Our hearts beat just a little faster when we heard this syncopated song written by one of our own classmates. And so our Junior year was ended, but we were already looking forward to our Senior year. September, 1931! The beginning of our year as dignified Seniors. What a thrill the thought held for us! When the time came for class elections, we again chose Edward Lavigne a s our class president. This was to be Edward ' s third year as president — because of his good work and interest — we set aside the policy of a president serving only two terms of office. Mr. Noyes, who had been our constant and efficient adviser for the past two years, was also re-elected. Dorothy Tart was elected vice-president, Margaret Brennan, secretary, and Harold Hartwell, treasurer. This has been a happy year for us all, regardless of the difficulties which we have encountered. The publication of our year book was perhaps the most difficult of all, but through the splendid cooperation of three faculty members and the entire student body, we have a book of which we are very proud. Now that our Senior year is over, we are leaving this Normal School with a bit of regret, because we arc not having the pleasure of attending classes in our fine new- school building, but we hope that for the classes which follow us this beautiful building will be an inspiration. We have worked hard during our three years with this our Commencement time in view and now that we have attained our goal, we are wondering and anticipating what life has in store for us. We want to make the class of ' 32 a banner class of achievement in the field of education. Farewell, Schoolmates, and the best of luck from the Class of ' 32. Elizabeth Phelps, ' 32. « 67  Class wm We, the Senior Class of the Plattsburg State Normal School, having reached the end of our Normal School career, and being of sound mind, memory, and under- standing, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills made by us at any time prior to this date. To the Juniors we bequeath our personal belongings as follows: Margaret Brennan bequeaths her blonde beauty to Marjorie Columbe (with both her own and Peg ' s good looks, Marg will capture most any beauty prize). Sybil Brown leaves her pleasant, even disposition to Eveline Brothers. Rod Buckley wills his well-known red Ford to Reginald Stark, on the condition that Reg will always have it standing in front of the building ready for service. Lena DeLaire wills to Louise Freebern her artistic ability, including her art plates that were always so well done. Genevieve Douglass has a particular ability which she quite often puts into use — that of sticking up for the Scotch. This said ability she wills to Elizabeth McDonough. Marion Call and Frances Fluntcr have decided it ' s time to grow up, and hereby bequeath their Tom Thumb stature to Anna Fogg and Rowcna Harwood. (A few inches more or less won ' t make any difference to them.) Mary Hickey and Mary Finnessey have collaborated in writing a book entitled, Slimncss Personified and are leaving an autographed copy to Margaret Coopy and Ruth Sargeant. Ruth Jennett wills her ability to digest reading material by the wholesale — much needed by Normal students — to Rowena Roblee. Edward Lavigne bequeaths his importance to Normal School administration to Charles Keedlc. Doris King wills to Ruth Gonyea and Helen Carpenter, respectively, her capable- ness and practicalness. Ida Jacques and Margaret Racette are leaving to Eleanor Cutting and Frances Holland their studious habits and splendid marks. (We ' d like to let all the Juniors in on this, but rewards are the result of honest work.) Margaret Curtis always has a contribution to make to any class; this gift — for it is a gift — she wills to Agnes Finnegan. « 68  TTfc CARDINAL To Eleanor Morrison, Mildred Leazott bequeaths her witty personality. Maybe you don ' t think the two go together, but Mildred knows what it means to live in the home of an undertaker; this store of experience she is leaving to Margaret Bourey. Most of us like to dance, but few do it as well as Patricia Kclley. This skill she bequeaths to Marjorie Stickney and Ruth Alperc. Maefrcd Loope has acquired for herself the nickname, Smiles. They arc some- thing we need plenty of, so she is passing along this habit to Bertha Jacques and Louise l.eneghan. To Serafina Rianni (even though she is a Freshman) Kathleen McAloon gives the honor of taking her place as accompanist for the musical organizations of P. S. N. S. Our distinguished twins — Helenc and Irene McGrath bequeath to the two Jean- net tes, Bailey and Ballard, their ability to keep the faculty at bay as to which is who. Ruth Cook wills to Mildred Wilbur her valuable teaching experience. (Experience — that ' s what they ' re all asking for.) Elizabeth Phelps leaves her busy place in Normal School activities to Laura Taylor, whom we know will fill the vacancy capably. Sometimes it ' s well to be seen and not heard; Katherinc McKinney follows this policy. She passes this quality on to Elizabeth Clifton. Francis Pierce bequeaths his renown as a musical composer to the posterity of the school, and, in particular, to Frances Fayette. Eleanor Pyle wills her good-looking clothes to Grace Johnston to add to her own attractive wardrobe. Margaret Quinn has won for herself the name of bluff ; but since it ' s such a nice bluff, she wills it to Mildred Carter. Margaret Ryan bequeaths to Marie McCormick her sunny Irish temperament. (You just can ' t keep Peg cross for long!) Lena Smith leaves to Edna Rivers the worried expression she always wore in music class. We hope that Margaret Drown won ' t have to miss one day of school next year because of illness. To increase her reserve, Cecelia Plumley wills to her some robust health. Louise Washburne and Alice Pardy bequeath to Katherine Glaude and Geraldine Layman their ability to see the funny side of things — no matter what happens. Frances Jersey leaves her daily trips from Morrisonville to Plattsburg to anyone living in the suburban districts. « 69  THE CARNAL Catherine Evans has a certain nonchalantness which she bequeaths to Jane Duffy. The valuable assest which Belva Thrall has decided to will to Evelyn Bennett is her excellent penmanship. Patricia Shipman leaves the low-point speed record she established between Oak Street and the City Hall to Eleanor Grogan. Dorothy Tart leaves to Mila Bola, Christina Reed, and all other aspiring orators in the Junior Class, her effectiveness as a public speaker. Anita Wolcott wills to Veronica LaBombard her ability to win friends quickly and easily. To Bernice King, Gladys Stickncy bequeaths her unassuming, but business-like manner. Edna Wright leaves her conscientious attitude toward school to Mrs. Vera Weightman. Thelma Baxter, who invariably has to sit in the front row (because her name begins with B ) — bequeaths the chairs, formerly occupied by her, to Raymah Arnold and Bernice Beardsley. Ann Humphrey leaves to Frances McNally and Muriel Ducharme her winning smile and friendly personality. Lyda Drowne wills her slyness to Janet Spraguc, and instructs her to use it with discretion. To those Juniors not already mentioned, the Seniors will their supply of worn-out excuses for work not done, their discarded note-books, together with their air of superiority and dignity. We, as members of the Class, and as witnesses hereto, have set our hands and seals this fourteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two. Patricia Shipman. « 70  THE CARDIAL I shuffled through the ads of a Sunday paper, and finally closed the last page. It was hopeless. My eyes fell upon a magazine beside me. With a feeling of indifference I picked it up and aimlessly leafed the pages. A full-page ad loomed before me. Here is the opportunity ot a lifetime. Use your creative ability. Write something that you would like yourself. Since the truth is stranger than fiction, we want truth. The public wants truth. Be scientific. Speak your mind. Dig up your family tree. Give it to us. VX ' e pay well. FIRST PRIZE $ 5 .ooo Opportunity is knocking at your door. Please let it in. Was this my chance? Well, I didn ' t know anything new. 1 might be able to start in with once upon a time, but this must be true. My family tree, my disappointments, my vocation, my class; each came to mind. The last gave me a clue. Should I write up the history of the class of ' 32? Plattsburg State Normal School was now only a memory, for this institution had long since become Champlain University, where were produced geniuses of Greek, higher mathe- matics and science. These students competed with Cambridge wranglers as well as men of Oxford. Night after night I worked over questions that might be suitable to send out to this scattered body. 1 wanted facts that might give me a basis for definite conclusions. Where do you live? Married or single? Did you continue in the teaching pro- fession? How long? What is your present occupation? What is your salary? At last I sent them out. Here I will try to enumerate some of my findings: Mary Finnessey taught one year only. She found her interest in Plattsburg too great to spend much time away from it. She is now Mrs. Lester Coopy. I knew that wouldn ' t be a ten-year engagement. Edward Lavigne, our class president for three years, has left the profession. Busi- ness is always better, especially drug stores and soda fountains. His slogan is Get it at Lavigne ' s. Margaret Quinn, that girl with the dynamic personality, has tried her hand at several things, always being successful. First a teacher, then an international stylist; at last she found that work must be sacrificed for love. Now she is a prominent society woman not only of New York, but Paris, London, Newport, and Palm Beach. Doris King is now lecturing on Bermuda. She ought to be an authority on it, for she has visited it annually since our senior year at P. S. N. S. Open the Sunday paper to the Franklin Simons ad and there each week is a cut of two smiling faces, that reflect each other, illustrating Bramley goods. They are none other than our own McGrath Twins. What lovely mannequins they are. Kathcrine Evans is head of the stationery department in a large store. Each season she goes abroad to choose the finest linen to suit her prominent customers. Some- times you may see her accompanied by the Twins for they have never broken up that sincere friendship. « 71  the: cardinal Octavo was the name of the conservatory. What a good-looking page they ran in Harper ' s Bazaar. In simple modernistic print under the name was written: under the supervision ot Mademoiselle Shipman Violin — Monsieur Hartwell Theory — Monsieur Pierce Piano — Mademoiselle McAloon Several names followed but these three attracted me. I wonder how much of their success do they attribute to the music classes at school? How happy we are to think it was not all in vain. If one can only find out what is lacking in the world, success is at his feet. Such was the case with Roderick Buckley. Because the police worked so inefficiently when his car was stolen off Margaret Street during our senior year at school, he has estab- lished a world renowned Lost and Found Bureau. If you have lost anything, just see Rod. Just think what a help he would have been during the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby back there twenty years ago. Grow tall, grow short; grow slim, grow fat. Be the way you want to be. Take my new capsules. It was none other than Margaret Ryan. And has she made a change in herself? Of course, she is Mrs. now. 1 won ' t say who, but I think you all will Trip on it. Elizabeth Phelps has started a nursery. She always did enjoy children. Margaret Racette has continued her education and as yet she feels she loves books as much as before. She and Ida Jacques are working together. Remember how studious they were at school? Frances Hunter can be seen nearly any day walking into Peg Ryan ' s shop. She enjoys her kindergarten work, and now she is really a lot taller than the children. Ann Humphrey is operating a bus line between Malone and Plattsburg. She missed those Monday and Friday trips so much after she left school. Patricia Kelly and Anita Wolcott were parted after graduation. Anita taught two years and then went into a bigger field. She ' s up in Saranac now. Pat went on into stage work. Her dancing has kept on improving till now she has a long-term contract with Ziegfeld and several stage-door Johnnies thrown in. You may see her name on Broadway any night. Teaching can walk hand in hand with matrimony. That is what Marion Call is trying to prove. Don ' t take me wrong, for she is doing it within the four walls of her own home. Welfare work always was Dorothy Tart ' s specialty. That work up in Cadyville pulled her an A in Sociology. She ' s been getting just as good rating since she ' s been employed by the State finding out the whys and wherefores that make people as they are. Just at this time I must bring in Dot ' s former pal, Sybil Brown. Sybil at last has formulated a successful diet. It ' s world renowned now as the Eat and Grow Thin ' formula. And is Sybil a knockout with her 110 pounds! Lyda Drowne soon decided she would form a primary department of her own. I wonder if she has taught them to play store. Lena DeLaire went back to Plattsburg to live. She hated to leave for as long as she did. Her position is permanent. Eleanor Pyle went home to her boy friend. It really was hard being so far away for two long years. They are living on the Island as happy and contented as can be. c 72  Thelma Baxter still has a weakness for roadsters. Although she ' s not married and doesn ' t think of getting a man she still likes yellow ones. That proves that she really liked the car. Mildred Leazott still directs traffic in funerals. She always had a fancy for her father ' s business. She has invented a new type of reflex embalming fluid. It really works fine. Mildred says. Mary Hickey is just as happy as ever. No, she ' s not teaching and when I asked her about her present position she answered, I like him a lot, yes I love him. We have found Eddie Cantor ' s successor. And is she original? Just as clever as she was in P. S. N. S. Three guesses and the first two don ' t count — Alice Pardy. A shy little voice says, Yes ; then, No. It is Mrs. Cook. She ' s still teaching and giving lessons on how to drive in real snow drifts. Here she is living with her Jimmie. None other than Louise Washburne. Funny and peppy as ever, she says, Plattsburg isn ' t such a bad place after all. Petite Frances Jersey has made her mark in the world. What a success she made of the first position. So much did she fall for him that she dropped teaching. Belva Thrall has spent much of her time traveling. She has written several inter- esting books. She had quite an interest in a certain alumnus when we were Seniors. Well this continued. Maefred Loope didn ' t teach long. You know the right way to a man ' s heart is through his stomach. Maefred certainly could cook back there in ' 32 and I guess she hasn ' t forgotten any of it. Margaret Curtis said, Oh, I couldn ' t think of leaving Al for a whole year. That was way back in ' 32 and she still says it. Teaching is life. This is the thought Edna Wright is trying to put over. She says she will stay by teaching as long as she is able. So also says Ruth Jennett, Elsie Stone, and Mary Carey. They certainly didn ' t miss their calling. Katherine McKinney and Mrs. Stickney have started an association for the better- ment of the teaching profession. It affects the social life more than the salaries. It is very popular, especially in small towns. Two strong advocates of it are the Plumley sisters, Cecelia and Helen. They are still teaching. Eileen La Haise is still running around in a little Ford roadster. She enjoys running around no matter what kind of weather it is. Lately she has had some trips like that Olympic trip back in ' 32. Pearl LaPlante is still teaching in Chazy. Several of her progressive ideas have been accepted by the National Education Association. Lillis Vaughn decided teaching was too strenuous. Now she writes books or essays on the way she feels about things. The public enjoys her work a lot. Margaret Goodspced decided that peanuts were too fattening so drew the conclu- sion that worry was the only thing that would make her lose. Now she is taking music courses at some school, I won ' t tell where. Lena Smith is now head of a girls ' school on Long Island. As members of her faculty she has the following who are familiar to us: Vera Wellott, Mrs. Blanche Rice, Irene Lundberg, and Mary Norton. Martha Patnode and Arthur Harvey are doing a scientific paper to be presented to a group of educational leaders at a special meeting this fall. Of course it will be a success, just as everything else they have done. « 73  THE CARDINAL The average salary of this select group was far above par. At some time or another 80 percent had strayed away from the teaching profession. All but two had married. For a name, why not call it Facts About 32 ? It could mean most anything and thus arouse curiosity. Completed, I had half a mind to tear it up. It would make a line blaze; otherwise 1 could sec no good in it. I pondered over the thoughts of: Is it objective enough, as Mr. Rustcrholtz would have it? Is it statistical enough, as Mr. Diebolt would have it? Is it literary enough for Mr. Hartman? What about its historical value, as Mr. Noyes would ask? At last I sealed the envelope and dropped it in the post office. I could see it going Irom the post office to the train, from this side of the continent to the other, for it went to Los Angeles. Perhaps the mail would take it to a grand office. There it would lie on a heavy mahogany desk a few days, going closer each day to the place where I wanted to throw it oftentimes, the fireplace. Three months went by; each month I bought Photoplay and carefully read the table of contents. The fourth month my thoughts were far from it. I did not even watch for the time of publication. I had nothing to anticipate, so why should I? One day as I sat at the soda fountain I watched my neighbor on the right pick up his copy. What was on the cover that attracted me so? There, done in beautiful colors was the smiling portrait of Margaret Brennan, the Connie Bennett of today. Why, she was an old classmate of mine, but it was unusual to see her picture adorning a movie magazine. But in the left-hand corner in rather large print was something more familiar — Facts About ' 32 and my name — winner of the contest of three months ago. What a pleasant feeling. I always was sure my portrait would never appear in a magazine but it was heavenly to even see my name printed in the lower left-hand corner of the cover. My feelings were displayed rather conspicuously. First 1 wanted my soda; then I didn ' t. At last 1 decided I really could afford to leave it. I went home to my little room, the happiest girl in the world. That night I dreamed great things about seeing my name printed all over the cover of Photoplay, and what a pretty picture it seemed to make.

We, the class of 1932, in presenting our gift, leave it as a token of our everlasting affection and of our best wishes for its future. Our gift, the fourth to be placed in the new school, we hope may be an inspiration to the students of the school in the years to come. Doctor Hawkins, it is with great pleasure that we, the class of 1932, present this replica of the painting of The Battle of Lake Champlain to the Plattsburg State Normal School. Frances Hunter, 32. « 74  Clasg titration Ef)c tfjool as a Community Center Every school community should be .1 little democracy, and the school house should be the community capitol. Here the people should meet to discuss among themselves their common interests and to devise methods of helpful co-operation. It should be also the social center of the community where all the people come together in a neighborly way on terms of democratic equality, learn to know each other, and extend and enrich their community sympathies. For this purpose the school house is especially fitted; it is non-sectarian and non- partisan; the property of no individual or group; the common property of all, made sacred to every family by the fact that it is the home of their children, and the training place of future citizens. The primary function of the school is to make not only good men and women, but good citizens. The question should be constantly asked, What kind of school subjects are best calculated to make good citizens? The basic assumption of the community-cente r movement is that democracy is the organization of society on the basis of friendship. Man is a social and a political animal. His instinctive need for fellowship leads him to create a sort of social center of anything available. The rural post office and country store arc passing as social centers. The public school remains and can render an invaluable community service. The kind of school that a community has is an accurate index of its community consciousness and its estimate of democratic ideals. The key to a better school is a better teacher, and the community should make it its special aim to develop the type of teacher desired, to pay an adequate salary, and to furnish a teacherage. The school plant should be adequate, sufficiently large, and well heated, lighted, and ventilated, with ample grounds and equipment to render opportunity for extra curricular services. It should provide facilities for organizing and directing the leisure of its citizens, both young and old. No nation can rise higher than its play-life. Crime is alarming. It is committed largely by the teen age and young adults; but in almost every case, the children did not have the advantages of organized play and vacation school to make up for the mental delinquencies. It would be far better to prevent crime by guidance and training for business and the proper use of leisure hours. When the Pilgrims adopted the plan of taxing all the property of the community for the support of free schools, it was the first time in the history of the world that the principle was suggested. They built more wisely than they knew, for they made these buildings the property of the people, and it is perfectly legitimate that the people use their own buildings for their own meetings, for social, recreational and other pur- poses when the school children are not using them. Co-operation in business has been practiced for years. The greatest business in the world today is the business of being a true American citizen, and it can be best accomplished in co-operation with fellow Americans in communities which are little democracies with the public school houses as their capitols. Clarence Nye « 75  Cfjarge to tfje Juniors Juniors! We, the members of the graduating class of 1932, have arrived at our goal — the goal toward which we aimed as Freshmen, Juniors and finally. Seniors. We are exultant in our success! For three years we have struggled under adverse conditions, but our social and scholastic ventures have all been accomplishments of which we can be proud. Of course, a group of our high caliber could hardly be expected to do less. In view of these circumstances we charge you, the Juniors, with the duty of carrying on as we have started. A few valuable suggestions are in order. First, try to remember that your capabilities, supplemented with the infinitesimal amount of knowledge you now possess, cannot guarantee your continued success. Be warned, therefore, and try to emulate the diligence of your superiors. Strict supervision by your adviser will no doubt be necessary, and he has our sympathy in the stupendous task which confronts him. There are people more versed in the ways of the world than you if you could but grasp the fact. You must learn also not to brag. Of course, in your ignorance, you believe that by this conceited attitude you could inveigle your associates into thinking you were really very capable. However, you weren ' t fooling us. We who are wise and erudite recognized your shortcomings. That is why we experience qualms at the thought of leaving our dear Alma Mater in such incompetent hands. To add to our dismay, is the realization that you will be the first to graduate from the new building. O, that Fate should have dealt us this blow! You shall spend your Senior year in our new school, and we shall not be here to guide you. We beg of you to profit by our advice and example and to uphold the fine standards we have set up. Try first, and above all, to cooperate with your school associates, both faculty and students! It is essential to success and, once established, will enable you to obtain the highest standard. You have every good wish for great success and achievement and, with the example of the class of ' 32 to guide you, and the added inspiration of the new Normal as an incentive, we feel that we can expect great things of the class of ' 33. Dorothy Tart, ' 32. « 76  eplp to Cfjarge Beloved Seniors, it is a great honor to have the pleasure of replying to so worthy a class. One of my highest ambitions is being realized; I am now given the opportunity to apply the spurs to a stubborn horse, and by so doing may be able to rescue him from the sure destruction into which his high spirits and lack of common sense have been leading him. We know you think it a matter for genuine regret that you have to leave us to carry on. We, too, think it pitiful that you are leaving, but for different reasons! The humane society would be greatly opposed to the casting of innocent, helpless sheep into a lion ' s den — and so we are opposed to the sending of such irresponsible representa- tives of our beloved Normal School into the cruel world. You give to us plenty of advice and warnings. How can we heed untried, and, if tried, evidently unsuccessful admonitions? One thing we are sure we have learned from you departing Seniors — rest assured we will never attempt moonlight excursions on the lake. The hoodoo which has prevented the many excursions you planned from taking place is probably still floating around. You think our aptitude is not for the better things in life, and it is useless to attempt to show you how wrong you are. We realize that such simple words as we might use would never penetrate and take root in minds hindered by a closed door policy. Of one thing you have plenty — your imagination works overtime. That you are brilliant, ambitious, worthy, and noble is just one of your illusions. It would be useless for us to say that we have enjoyed being near you for two years and profited by this experience. You would know better. It is you who have profited by being in such close proximity with such generous and ever-helpful individuals as we, the Junior class. However, we did not propose our virtues for your imitation — there is a limit to one ' s capacities — but rather for your admiration. And now let your minds rest on the great problem of our class — to make the faculty realize that we are not like you. We do not need to be ruled with an iron rod. In fact, our stars say we must never be forced into activity. Why? Because it is not necessary, and because, knowing what is expected of us, we just can ' t help exceeding all expectations. Well, Seniors, all joking aside, we really wish you all the happiness and success in the world. Laura Taylor, ' 33. « 77  Jfflantle Oration Today we have gathered for our last informal meeting. We are here to say fare- well to our school, to our teachers, and to the many friends we have made during these last three years. We are to separate after today, never to assemble again as we are assembled here this afternoon. But before we part, it becomes my pleasant duty to remind our successors, the class of ' 33, of the responsibilities which they must assume after our departure. This cloak is a symbol of all that Normal means to us. It expresses all the joys and sorrows of the time spent within its walls. We can say, however, that they have been three happy years. Possibly the full realization of this did not creep upon us until the hour of departure had arrived. Also, it represents the efforts and responsi- bilities we have shared one with another. In the bearing of these, however, we have gained a leadership which will be a means of attaining success in future years. A year ago we received this cloak, this symbol of seniority, authority, and above all, responsibility from the class of 193 1 with much pride. Today we place it upon the shoulders of the class of 1933, and with it we confer all the inherent dignity, authority, and responsibilities of a Senior class in Plattsburg Normal. May you find success in all you do, and may you carry out the high ideals and noble aspirations which this cloak so gloriously represents. Doris E. King, ' 32. « 78  eplp to Jfflantle 0ratton The time is here that we, the Junior class, are asked by you, the Senior class, to take over this mantle. With gladness in our hearts, and a firm resolution to live up to the innermost meaning of this mantle, we take it from you. You have striven and won in these three years as we are striving and hoping to win in 1933- We are happy to receive the mantle from such a class, and we arc resolved to do our utmost to make it mean for us what it has meant for you. The class of 1933 is ready to uphold the standards of Plattsburg State Normal School as have senior classes in the past. Especially shall we be guided in our efforts by the pattern, set for us by you, our Seniors of 1932!

So it is today when it is my great pleasure and privilege to greet you. I can find no better word than welcome — the word that endeavors to assure you that you are well come — the word that a clever hostess so cleverly summed up in the enigma: My First I hope you arc; My Second I sec you arc; My Whole I know you arc. And after all how much more can we really say than, we hope you are well, we see you are come, we know you are welcome. So teachers, parents, friends, thrice welcome! GTeacfjing— S JMgfj PPt of ifcerbice Governor Russell once said, There is one thing better than making a living — making a life. The function of culture is not merely to train the powers of enjoy- ment, but first and supremely to be used for helpful service. There are few positions in life which give more chance for service than the teaching profession. Other posi- tions offer more opportunity for self -enjoyment; some resolve themselves into merely mechanical duties; but the elementary teacher has the greatest opportunity of all. What teacher who has walked into a classroom and seen smiling faces of pupils largely looking forward to happy days in school, has not felt a surge of joy in her work and set up an ideal for herself. But, alas, that teacher too soon often loses her ideal in the mass of routine and daily work. She forgets that even the sun has spots on it and expects a ten-year-old boy to be perfect. She fails to remember that she is to be a model, a helper, and a guide. She sometimes speaks hastily, and makes some boy or girl hate school forever after. Nowhere in any rank of life is there required of one more tact and skill, more patience and perseverance, more sympathy and understanding than in the field of teaching, for the teacher of today is molding the generation of tomorrow. « 84  THE D pDBlAL It is commonly said that the teaching standard has been raised. Certainly, educa- tional requirements have been increased and salaries have gone up, but have we really raised the standard? Have we gloried in the service? Classmates and future teachers, here is our work; let us make the teaching pro- fession stand for the highest type of service. The words of Kenyon Cox in his poem Our Motto are worth while remembering: Work iliou for pleasure — paint or sing or carve The thing thou lovest, though the body starve — Who works for glory misses oft the goal; Who works for money coins the very soul. Work for the work ' s sake then, and it may be That these things shall be added unto thee. Margaret Racette. « 8  alebictorp gfobress Efje importance of €mpfja£fi?ing tfjt Creatine life of Cfjilbren In speaking of his young son, James Russell Lowell once said, He is one of that countless number of extraordinary boys out of which the world contrives afterward to make such ordinary men. What did he mean — the world contrives to make such ordinary men ? To me it seems to be a rather pathetic and tragic statement, and one that will prove itself true in a general application. After all, the great majority of us turn out to be average — mediocre — just ordinary men and women. That is only natural and constitutes one more proof of the law of distribution. The middle ground between two extremes is always the most densely populated; that is why we have so many just ordinary folks. When I speak of average people, I have in mind no reference to economic, social, or intellectual status. The term which expresses most aptly what 1 have in mind is attitude toward life. The majority of people sustain toward life an attitude of only medium or ordinary interest. There is so much in life; there is so much to appreciate, to enjoy, to know, to understand. We should be intensely alive, earnest, sincere in our efforts to steadily increase our appreciation, knowledge, joy and satisfaction of living. Training and guidance arc needed in these respects as much as in history, mathematics, or English. This is a relatively recent addition to the duties and activities of a teacher. But to us, fellow graduates, they are more than added duties and extra work — they are oppor- tunities! The teaching profession has always been one of great opportunities — now we are offered a field of unlimited possibilities. Herein lies a chance for us, as teachers, to rise above the generality, and to become distinct individualities in our vocation. The attitude toward life we carry into our work will be the greatest determining factor in the ultimate result. Now the question is, how are we to help our pupils to a greater joy, appreciation, and satisfaction in life? What can wc do in an attempt to prevent them growing from extraordinary boys and girls into ordinary men and women? Here is a real, vital challenge to each of us! There is one suggestion I have to offer; I give it to you for your intent considera- tion — perhaps, trial. May I urge you to emphasize the creative side and life of the children whom you teach. I do not mean this in an extreme sense, but rather as sup- plementary to the routine work of the school. Closely related to the creative part of a child is his imagination. The minds of children are particularly active, fertile, and imaginative. What a crime it is that that imaginative spark is dimmed — in many cases extinguished — by the process of educa- tion! As teachers with the modern concept, it is up to us to encourage that bit of creative imagination with as much care and attention as one gives to a slow fire. Let the children express themselves through the media of art, literature, music, and dancing. Each of these fields of expression has a high degree of correlation with « 86  THE CARDINAL the required subject matter. Why not utilize them? Such activities add a note of color to the work, and broaden the pupil ' s aspect. You ' ll find a wealth of stimulating reading matter, valuable as suggestions, in Creative Youth by Hughes Mearns, and The Child Centered School by Rugg and Schumaker. For our real purpose, the incidental use of art, literature, and music will probably not be sufficient. It must be our aim to so enthuse our pupils, by developing their interest in the unbounded possibilities of art, literature, music, and science, that there will be a distinct desire for carrying-over and carrying-on. I believe that it is the carrying-on into later life of these creative interests that •Rill redeem men and women from the ranks of the ordinary. During the three years of our Normal School training we have been confronted many times with tasks which seemed difficult, but I can assure you that that which is facing me now offers one of the greatest obstacles I ' ve met so far. I do not stand before it alone, however; you are all with me, classmates. We hate to say good-bye to Normal, to our faculty, friends, and acquaintances. It ' s hard for all of us. Our Commencement Day brings with it a combination of emotions. Our reac- tions are a mixture of happiness, exultation, attainment, sorrow and regret. Tomorrow this period of training — a composition of work and pleasure — will be memories. A new era will have its beginning. We must leave this all behind and say — Farewell! Mingled with remembrances, there will be a feeling of regret that we did not have the privilege of sharing with you, underclassmen, the new Normal. For that reason we shall, more than ever, regard with a great interest your endeavors — all the time wishing that we might be a part of them. Our hope is, that because of the greater advantages and facilities which will be yours from now on, that you will be truly worthy of commendation at the end of your Senior year. Doctor Hawkins and friends of the faculty, our farewell to you embodies first of all our thanks. Our debt to you is mostly intangible — but none the less recognized. For your sympathy and helpfulness — yea, your proddings and reproofs, we kindly thank you. And farewell! Fellow graduates, final words of parting linger unexpressed; but for you, each one, I wish the best of all good things. There shan ' t be much time to spend in reminiscing, for we ' ll all be toq busy with our own novel and absorbing problems. Before us is a new territory. Let every one of us enter it with the spirit of a Vioneerl Friends, Fare-ye-well! Patricia Shipman. « 87  the: carnal Mentor Jingle We registered in twenty-nine. Just average girls and boys, We never dreamed how very fine Could be our many joys. We learned as days passed one by one And hearts were light and gay, If we the heights of service won, There must be more than play. Our second term gave more success. The school seemed more like home. We strove to do our very best, And found that work was fun. And now we ' ve reached the Senior stage Where treasured dreams come true, We find the adage, Act your age, A little hard to do. The friends we ' ve made in schooldays here May journey far away, But time cannot efface the cheer They ' ve brought to us today. But on we must; we ' ll try to keep The schoolday memories green, To bless the future years, and reap From ideals we have seen. We thank our teachers for their aid. Their aims, both high and true; To future classes, undismayed We ' ll leave the rest to do. Margaret « S8  Activities Xtterarp Cfje Bomes of formal (New School Song) Words by Paul H. Hartman Music by Lyndon R. STREET To reflect and perpetuate the steady faith, high courage, and clear vision of Dr. George K. Hawkins, Principal during the years of Plattsburg Normal ' s greatest crisis, this song is inscribed, I When o ' er the western slopes the day-star ' s fading light Bedecks the heavenly span in spectral grandeur bright, There stands within our view, reflected in the west, The pigeoned towers of Normal! The dormered eaves of Normal! The storied lights of Normal, where Learning ' s banners rest. II Dark shades the vision clouds; destruction blinds our eyes; All ' round our sacred place, a fiendish sacrifice. The work of years, where Art and Wisdom blessed us all, Sinks with the spires of Normal! The crumbling walls of Normal! Our ivy-cloistered Normal, in one vast funeral pall. in But on the placid face of Champlain ' s sapphire bay Faint gleams of struggling light announce another day! They gleam! The vision grows! It fills the blinded eye. The risen domes of Normal! The burnished domes of Normal! The living domes of Normal, against the western sky. IV Then ban the black despair that threats to break the heart When proud-apparelled works of hand and mind depart; New courage take and on! You ' ll build again more vast, As were the domes of Normal! The sturdy domes of Normal! The rock-ribbed domes of Normal rebuilded from the blast. « 90  the: cardinal Wt m Wt Wm hum I When we were kids, say, wasn ' t i t great! And didn ' t we have such fun? With never a care from morning till night, From the dawn till the set of sun. 11 Remember the old sand bank next door, Where the boys dub a great big tunnel? And we had to crawl through on hands and knees, And how we got bumped and stumbled? in Remember the tent where we used to play Indian, hour after hour? And the boys would lasso us with their ropes, And drag us off? How we hollered! IV Remember the merry-go-round we had? It only held three, but then. Couldn ' t it go! I ' ll say it could — I ' d just like to try it again. v Remember how we would play hop-scotch, And hide-and-go-seek, and punch? I ' d give a lot for just one more night To play with that same old bunch. VI Remember the Sunday School picnic that came Once every year at the park? And we rode on th e donkey and little train — Those days were always a lark. VII Ah, me, we could think of the things that we did For hours and hours — but then It is time to return from the days of the past To the days of the present again. VIII So don your long dress; put on your high heels. And primp, and powder your nose. (But wouldn ' t you rather a whole lot feel The earth with your little bare toes?) Mildrld Wilbur, « 91  at (BntsAUm of 3n amtp Firs Place — Cardinal Story The scene of my story is the Hospital for Criminal Insane at Dannemora State Prison. The title, which I assume you have noticed, is undoubtedly a spectacular one; more appropriate, perhaps, for a pedagogical essay than a short story. But whether it adorns the first page of a story or an essay; whether it is spectacular or not; I believe it has meaning. Is there a criterion of insanity? Is there any line of division between the sane and the insane? Or, is it merely a question? Wait! Turn back. You may find this story entertaining, amusing, and again, you may get my point, that there is — . John Riddell had a wit that placed him a little apart from others — enough, at least, so that he sought out the cause and made the most of it. Perhaps all people might not call it wit, He was never heard to laugh out loud and he could listen to the funniest fool on earth without so much as a smile. His sense of humor, God bless him, never functioned at the pleasure or at the expense of others. It may have been simply that he said what was necessary, in a way that left no room for intrusion. Through all the years spent in Dannemora Prison this quality never left him. Indeed, it hardened and grew sharper as time and again it saved him and his dignity his everlasting dignity, from the men around him, who quite forgot at times that they were human, in their cages of stone and iron. As time went on, and his hair turned white, old Mr. Riddell began to realize that ninety-nine years in prison is a penalty that no man can pay to society — a penalty which society demands only because it hesitates to ask more. As always, he busied himself painting pictures — fine specimens of applied colors — and gave them to visitors who were kind to him. But in those last days something went wrong in his mind and rhey took his easel and brushes away. Later the warden came personally to his cell. You ' ve been here a long time, Mr. Riddell, he said. You came here in Bur- meyer ' s time. That was, let me see — . Fifty-four years ago. Well, no matter! The point is, we must take you where we can give you better care. You know, there ' s a place in another building that has much better light and real good air — a very exceptional place. Just think, old friend, from your new place you will be able to see Lake Champlain! A private view! You can see the sun come up, by George! In his new, comfortably padded cell, old Mr. Riddell learned to paint without brushes. Each morning he looked out and down — far beyond the foothills; and when « 92  the sun shone on a level with the stone ledge lighting up the ringlets of his matted hair, he would set to work astride his stool, his right hand tracing pictures in the air. No one bothered him now or made jokes about his industry, except a certain Jowell, a keeper fresh from the farm, a g reat hulk of a fellow employed with the insane because he was strong and able to lift limp bodies. Ho, grandpa, he would say when no one but himself and Riddell were around, how are the rail fences? Don ' t ye ever git tired o ' paintin ' rail fences? Sometimes the old man would answer, but only feebly. I ' m not painting rail fences, lad; I ' m painting a soldier. And after such words, his body would shrink slightly, his dry thumbs scraping upon his palms, his brow descending to force away his sight as though his mind revolted against its own infirmity and sought by sheer contradiction to force into his voice some needed thought he knew was lodged within. Oh, yes y ' are, Jowell would continue, squinting at the point where the busy hand trembled to begin again. I know rail fences. I was brought up on ' em. I can tell ' em even when they ain ' t put togither right. Ha! Rail fences! Hah! He would torment the old man until Riddell would turn quietly and lie down upon his cot, and then his voice would sound again, pitched lower. That ' s the old dog. Lie down fer awhile. Rail fences is too tough for an old dog. Hah, hoh, hoh! One day while the jibing was in progress, old Mr. Riddell fell into something not unlike a fit. He slept a roaring sleep after the doctor had departed. The next day his manner was changed; he had a resigned look and his eyes were clear. He crooked a finger at the keeper. Jowell, he said, I ' ve been listening to you for a long time. No one ' s ever distracted me like this before. I once had something that protected me from such ones as you, but it — it needs replenishing. He stared directly into the keeper ' s eyes. Jowell bent forward, his red neck bulging against his collar. Wha ' d ya lose, money? The old man waved him silent. Jowell, you know where the Riddells lived — in Sarnac Hollow. You know that great elm south of the barns. Get yourself a pick and shovel — a pick and shovel! Do you hear, Jowell? The voice fell to a whisper. Jowell was listening, nodding his head. He spoke only once. If I quit my job, you keep quiet about this. You hear me? Two weeks went by before the keeper returned to place swollen, blistered hands upon the cloth-bound bars of the cell. He snorted, and levelled a harsh voice at the busy painter. «93  the: cardial rnmrn Stop! The old man shouted so that his voice careened down the stony corridors. Half a dozen keepers rushed in, grouping themselves around Jowell. Riddell spoke. Did you go to that tree, as I told you? Yes, bellowed Jowell, and — . Be still! Did you follow my directions and did you dig twelve feet down? Yes, I dug twelve feet down and found nothin ' . You dug — twelve feet, said the old man, growing all at once calm. You dug twelve feet and found nothing? No. Even Jowell was growing quiet. Old Mr. Riddell looked first at one and then at another of the keepers, and shook bis head. When he spoke, it was slowly, in a tired voice, without any trace of a smile. Then I am afraid, Jowell, he said, that you had better come back here — back to Dannemora — and help me paint rail fences.

Who pray the same prayer that our hearts pray — Oh, God, take care of our boys today! But the enemies, steeled with hearts of hate. Each for the other, lie in wait. And thirst with a thirst that hell has fed To drink their enemy ' s heart-blood red. With poisoned mind, and feverish brain. With bodies wrecked by the nervous strain. Through nightmare days and sleepless nights. The enemies struggle to win the heights; But who dares say that any strife- Merits the best of a nation ' s life? Who said All ' s fair in love and war Never had lain mid filth and gore. When will men learn to act like men Instead of beasts in a stygian fen? Why won ' t they reason as brothers should And work together for common good? Perhaps it ' s because they don ' t recall The Heavenly Father ' s good-will to all; Perhaps in their hearts there never rang The song of peace that the angels sang. And so, for want of a better light, When questions arise over differences trite, They refuse to reason or understand, But go to war with their fellow-man; They go through a hell on earth to gain What might have been settled without blood-stain — And in the end the weaker yields.

The forests, resplendent in green, gold, red, yellow, and brown of autumn splendor made a magnificent setting for the girl on the rock. The brown of her dreamy eyes was but a shade darker than the golden brown of her attire. She wore a tight-fitting hat, straight brown skirt, and a white blouse under a brown jacket. Her feet were encased with brown oxfords, which showed results of long walks in the open spaces. The rock on which she sat marked a place where the path she had followed divided into two paths, one to the right and one to the left. As she sat there scarcely more life-like than the scene around her, a crackling of dry leaves announced the coming of another. She lifted her head in the attitude of listening attention, like a deer poised for flight. As she scanned the surrounding forest a figure appeared coming from the pathway to the right. He was dressed in the garb of a sportsman, carried a rifle but had not the listening attitude of a hunter. His attire showed him well pleased with the quiet of his surroundings. When the girl rose quickly to her feet, he stopped, amazed. Then as he realized that his vision had not deceived him he came forward, cap in hand. 1 beg your pardon, ' he said, I had no idea I was intruding — 1 thought 1 was alone. May I introduce myself? As a smile lit up her face he began, My name is Bill — . But her hand was raised in protest. That ' s enough, she exclaimed, my name is Helen. Let ' s not spoil this perfect scene with formal introductions. How much time have you to spend before you go back over that path? One hour. Good, I ' ve been told that if we follow that path about a mile we reach the river bank. If you will agree to my conditions we will go and watch the sunset. And the conditions? We shall neither of us inquire about the other ' s name, family, and other non- essentials. We may talk until we reach the river bank, but then we must have absolute quiet while we watch the sunset. Then we shall return. Our topic of conversation must be only about the weather, the forest and the birds. You must leave your rifle here until we return. Agreed, he said as he laid down the rifle. Ready? « 96  the: cardinal In answer she preceded him down the path to the left. Time passed quickly as they discussed the beauty of the autumn woods and soon the river bank came in sight. By common consent they stopped talking. Only the ripple of the water disturbed the quiet of that autumn day as they seated themselves on a rock by the water ' s edge. The sun was dipping in the west. They sat in perfect silence and only their eyes would have told how much they were enjoying that glorious sunset. He assisted her to her feet as the last arc of the sun appeared to dip behind the horizon. They walked back along the pathway in silence until they came to the parting of the ways. It was a beautiful sunset, she said. Glorious, he answered as he extended his hand. Good-bye, Helen. Good-bye, Bill, God bless you, and her hand met his in a firm clasp. He shouldered his ride and walked back in the path to the right. She followed the straight path in the direction from which she had come. w- Almost a year had passed since that little scene had been enacted. Mrs. Travers was entertaining a group of her daughter ' s friends. The house was brightly lighted and laughter and music resounded through the house. Miss Moore, may I introduce Mr. Gray? said the hostess addressing a bright-eyed young lady who appeared a part of the gay throng and yet not a part. Their eyes met as he bowed with formal courtesy. Then he took his place at her side at her invitation. How are you, Bill? she smiled. Very well indeed, Helen. Enjoying an unexpected pleasure, his smile answered hers. And now that we ' ve finished the formal introductions shall we have an explana- tion? Yes, although that sunset has been a beautiful dream. Will you explain first? I am here tonight at Mrs. Travers ' invitation through my friend George Henry who is one of Miss Travers ' friends. When I met you in the forests of Haverhill last autumn 1 was visiting my uncle Jack Gray who lives there. My meeting you was the result of an excuse given as rabbit hunting. I had been seeking an excuse for a walk alone in those glorious autumn woods, when my uncle made the remark that there was good rabbit hunting there. 1 at once suggested that I enjoyed rabbit hunting, although I imagine it was rather a lame excuse because rabbits could hear a hunter a mile away with those dry leaves. Thank heaven, my uncle doesn ' t care for rabbit hunting. And I, she began, as soon as he finished his story, was visiting a friend at Haverhill. She was called away for the day because a neighbor was sick and suggested that 1 might enjoy a walk since 1 loved the outdoors so. I ' ve never before or since had such a glorious autumn afternoon. I ' m going to visit Nellie again next week and « 97  Thl CARDINAL am going again to watch the sunset. As she concluded, some friends came to say good-night, and she saw Bill only to say good-bye before he left with his friend. The next morning she left for Haverhill to visit her friend. The third day after her arrival, her friend, Nellie, was suffering from a headache. Helen desired her to lie down, promising to amuse herself meanwhile. After seeing Nellie comfortably put to bed, she donned the brown suit and oxfords and went again for a walk in the forest of Haverhill. Perhaps she was thinking as she went forward of the glorious sunset a year before. Scarcely had she stopped to rest on the stone where the paths divided when that figure came once more from the pathway to the right. He was dressed exactly as he was a year before, but he had discarded the rifle. He came forward quickly and smiled. Good afternoon, Miss — he began. Hello, Bill, came the answer, why the formality? Because I didn ' t know what you ' d say about my disturbing your walk. Shall we watch the sunset, Helen? Yes, she murmured, as she started down the sunset trail. This time no regulations were made. But nothing further was said until the last ray of sun shone in the west. She had learned from her friend how worthy he was of her dreams and he had read in her face the seal of his happiness. As they sat watching the sunset, their hands met. Helen, darling, he whispered, shall we often watch the sunset together? Yes, Bill, she murmured, and in each other ' s eyes they saw their dreams come true. Margaret Racette. « 98  THE. CARDINAL Let us turn from the paths of today. Back to the scenes of yesterday And view the past. To see if amid the work and the fun. Whether the laurels we ' ve lost or won Through time will last. Where are the laughter and the tears?

The lecture, accompanied by slides and motion pictures, proved interesting as well as educational. A new idea of the present-day Germany was brought to the faculty and students, and their friends. On December 8, 1931 another lecture was presented to the faculty, students, and their friends at the City Hall. Mr. J. T. Caulfield spoke on the subject, Western National Parks. To the students in particular this lecture was of great interest, for the information obtained could be profitably used in connection with the teaching of elementary school subjects. On April 12, 1932 Mr. Caulfield returned to deliver another lecture on Yellow- stone National Park. The beauty and grandeur of the Park was made more real to us through the lecture and accompanying slides. On February 9, 1932, the students and faculty engaged in their annual basketball game. The game was close and exciting as the score of 21-19 indicates. The students won, although the faculty tied the score several times.

The following officers were chosen to represent the fifteen charter members: President, Arthur Harvey; vice-president, Beatrice Patnode; secretary, Mary Carey; treasurer, Bessie Arnold. The principal aim of the Club was to aid in the betterment of rural schools. Ac the beginning of the fall session the Club continued its activities. Among the outstanding activities of the Club this year was a trip to Vermont. Accompanied by Commissioner Frank Bailey and other officials of the Vermont Education Department, twenty persons visited the rural schools. These schools were typical of the rural schools of Vermont. The trip proved very educational and enjoyable. The first social meeting of the Club was held at the home of Doctor and Mrs. Peterson. In celebration of the first social birthday of the Club, a birthday cake with one lone candle was enjoyed. Other social meetings have been held at the homes of members, where very pleasant evenings have been spent. The Rural Club also sponsored a trip to the Rejuihliran office, where in the early hours of the morning, the Club saw the newspaper start out in life. During the after- noon, later in the week, the linotype machine was seen in operation. A magazine contest was conducted during the second term of the year. The magazines which were collected were taken to the rural schools where such material was needed. The group which obtained the largest number of magazines was enter- tained by the losing group. A banquet is being planned for May at which it is expected the guests will be persons prominent in the field of Rural Education. Everyone is looking forward to this social event, which will be a fitting close for a very successful and enjoyable year. « 1 23  frttence Club Officers President Edward Lavigne Secretary Margaret Racette Vice-President Frances Jersey Treasurer Margaret Racette Adviser — Mr. John Rusterholtz Members First Semester Mrs. Frances Boas Edward Lavigne Cecilia Plumley Mrs. Ruth Cook Mildred Leazott Margaret Racette Frances Jersey Claire McGivney Belva Thrall Second Semester Margaret Brcnnan Mary T.

This society was first organized by interested students of Advanced Literature with the advice and support of Mr. Paul H. Hartman. The purpose is to carry on the study of good litera- ture. The symbol of Beta Sigma is the mythical winged horse, Pegasus. Beta Sigma became the name of the Club through the aid of Doctor Henshaw, former Head of English and Literature. To be eligible for membership one must have earned a B average in courses in survey literature and be willing to devote considerable time to its further study. The unit chosen for study represents the interests of the majority of the Club. This year we studied Lord Byron, His Life and Works, Arnold Bennett ' s Old Wives Talc, and Rostand ' s Cyrano de Bergerac. Our assembly program was entitled Who ' s Who in Literature. Members of Beta Sigma portrayed scenes from various well-known pieces of literature and the audience was requested to name the characters. We have had much pleasure and profit from our memberhip in Beta Sigma and we feel much credit is due Mr. Hartman for his advice and help. We hope that all future members may enjoy it and keep it a glowing literary light.

But it has been a lovely dream, rilled with joys and suc- cesses — one which will not fade from our memory. As is typical of our most pleasant dreams, we are awakened all too soon. How- ever, let us spare a few moments for reminiscing and live over once again the numerous pleasures and activities which stand out in making the past year a success. Ic seems like only yesterday that the doors of the Young Women ' s League were swung open to welcome the Freshmen, as well as all members of the student body to our Open House. We had only been in school a short while, when we received an invitation from Mrs. Booth asking us to join the alumni members at a bridge held at the Royal Savage Inn. What a lovely time we had! Then came rush, and with it — parties, dinners, and entertainments. I can see now the happy, laughing group of girls that thronged into the Cumberland Hotel to banquet and dance — the occasion which terminated our successful rush season. An informal dance, our assembly program and the mid-year rush which brought three new members under the Clio Banner, helped to fill in the long stretch between Christmas and Easter. Following our return from Easter vacation, we gave as one of the final entertainments of the year, our annual alumni bridge party. As we move along, in order to make room for you who will take our places, our most sincere wish is that you may share with others as we have shared with you — all the love, honor, loyalty, and friendship which signifies Clio itself. « ' 33  the: cardinal gcttoe Chapter of glpfja JBelta Founded 1866 Alpha, Brockport Beta, Onconta Gamma, Fredonia Delta, Cortland Iota, Edinboro, Pa.

The latter part of September we opened our club room doors at Normal Court and welcomed the entire student body to our annual Open House. New rushing rules which limit rushing were effectively practiced for the first time this year. As a result of our rushing campaign we have added fifteen new members to the sorority. On Monday, December 7, the Junior and Senior members of the sorority sur- prised the pledgees by beginning informal initiat ion. Formal initiation was on the following Thursday, and our rushecs now became active members of Alpha Delta. Christmas vacation was started right by attending a party at the club rooms. This party, an annual event, was made a little happier by our jolly new members. Throughout the term we have had many parties, but a memorable one was held on St. Patrick ' s night. The decorations and programs were of appropriate colors, and many of our schoolmates and friends enjoyed the evening with us. The rest of the year passed quickly, and fifteen of us must soon be leaving. How we dread it! The past three years spent in Alpha Delta have truly been the happiest days of our lives. Although we must bid farewell, reminiscences of our sorority — our beloved Alpha Delta — will always be kept among our most treasured possessions.

The bright sunlight was dancing on the tips of the waves and flecking their blue with gold. Both Marie and I were awe struck with the beauty of the morning and the overpowering feeling of the music in the gently lapping waves. As we strolled arm in arm across the sandy, gold-strewn beach, memories of happy days we had spent together as schoolmates came knocking for admittance. We hummed old Ago songs and recalled the numerous happy days we spent in Ago as Freshmen, Juniors and finally Seniors. The gently blowing breeze sends a white-capped wave to our very feet as if begging for our attention. In its frothy face we see a group of happy, laughing girls, the Freshmen. What a jolly time we had all together the night of the Bowery and Beach party! Later when Pledge Night had arrived we see our rushees with smiling, glowing faces all happy in their decision to join Ago. As a straying sunbeam catches the open sail of our little craft, it flashes a new and vivid memory to us across the rippling waters. Again we picture the night of formal initiation. What a beautiful picture the girls had made in their colorful eve- ning dresses enveloped by the dim, unsteady candle light. Who was there who could ever forget the tense moments when she pledged herself to Ago? Then there was the formal banquet at the Cumberland Hotel. That, too, had been a huge success. But wc had not just played, for like every other organization, we needed financial backing. The numerous candy sales, rummage sales, and card parties had combined the element of work with that of play. Again we see a stage clothed in rainbow colors. Singing, dancing, dialogues — all are being used in an attempt to entertain the assembled audience. From the applause it is certain that the attempt to please has been rewarded. Suddenly, a whistle rings out and destroys the calm of the morning. As if in answer, the breeze catches the little craft and sends it swiftly onward until it becomes a tiny speck on the clear blue water. Our life in Ago had been much like that sturdy little craft. We sailed through those happy days working, playing, hoping, succeed- ing and happily preparing ourselves for the more important chapter of our lives — the future.

Mrs. Mary Mulvey, instructor in Health Education at the Summer Session, assisted by various faculty members and students, was in charge of the general arrange- ments. An excellent picnic menu, in which the reliable hot dog was the piece lie resistance, was relished even by the most fastidious, for the air was keen and bracing, the woods inviting and the sports and games rather exhausting — all working together to produce harvest appetites and banish any Chcsterfieldian etiquette that might have protruded. The games furnished entertainment and exercise for a variety of abilities, and suitable rewards were given to the victors. Miss Eleanor Grogan was most successful in placing the donkey ' s tail. Miss Grogan, not the donkey, being blindfolded, of course. In the wheelbarrow race the team composed of Arthur Harvey and Grace Everest outdistanced all competitors, while in the three-legged race for girls, the team of Mooney and Drown flashed across the line victorious, after a most brilliant display of speed and coordination. In the egg race Miss Mooney again was winner in the final heat, just nosing out by an arm Miss Shipman and Miss Goodspecd, winners of their trial heats. The Picnic Poetry contest marked the climax of interest and intellectual prowess. An unfinished jingle was to be completed in the most artistic and original manner. Miss Emma Rooney showed her literary skill by submitting, A cootie came in and snuggled up tight — Nevermore! Nevermore! Nevermore! which, added to the following, makes a ballad of no mean worth: There was a young man from Cadore, Who declared lie would sleep on the floor, But during the night, in the absence of light — These delightful get-togethers have become a noteworthy feature of the Platts- burg Summer Sessions, and furnish a most pleasant let-down in an otherwise rather strenuous and intensive six weeks of study. — Taken from the Plattsburg Press of Friday, fitly ji, t$}t. « 1 5 1  $roi George ubgon ftonoreb On June 20, 1932, the degree of Doctor of Pedagogy will be conferred upon Prof. George H. Hudson, former head of the department of science in Plattsburg State Normal School, by State College for Teachers of Albany, N. Y. Much scientific work which has been done at Valcour Island may be attributed to Mr. Hudson. Also several scientific bulletins and treatises have been published over his authorship. Among them are Paleontologic Papers, Geologic Papers, Need of Improved Technique in Illustration, Some Structural Features, with Description of a New Species, Some Fundamental Types of Hydro- spires and others. At present Mr. Hudson is connected with the New York State Museum at Albany, to which he has contributed many valuable specimens. « 153  Senior Ball of i 93 1 at Leonard ' s Pavilion (lncUrn ally the last Normal function ever held then-, the Pavilion bring destroyed by fire in the winter of 19J2) Planting the Blue Spruce of 193 i Hhtmtii Jottings dPatfjereb jfytvt anb QTfjere Alumni Banquet The forty-first annual banquet of the Plattsburg State Normal School Alumni Association was held at the Masonic Temple on the evening of June 15, 1931.

G. Thompson, retiring head of Commercial Training. Cupib Appears at 1931 Commencement The Alpha Kappa Phi House at Plattsburg was the scene of a beautiful wedding ceremony on the afternoon of Commencement Day, June 16, when Virginia Whiting, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Whiting of Jamestown, N. Y., was united in marriage to Dr. A. B. Burrell, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Burrell of Cleveland, Ohio. Miss Whiting was editor-in-chief of the 1931 Cardinal, an Honor Student in the course for Commercial Teachers, and was crowned Queen of the Mid-year Hop ot 1931. Mr. Burrell is a graduate of Cornell University and has carried on extensive experiments in apple husbandry at Peru, N. Y. The ceremony occurred at four p.m. and was performed by the Rev. Raymond Edwards of the Baptist Church of Plattsburg. Miss Patricia Shipman, ' 32, san g several appropriate vocal selections prior to the entrance of the bridal party to the strains of Lohengrin. The spacious living room of the house was transformed into a bower of greens and blooms, which coupled with the rainbow scheme of the bridesmaids ' gowns made a striking picture. Classmates of the bride attended Miss Whiting and were Anncte Watson, Ilion, N. Y.; Adele Frascr, Buffalo, N. Y.; Maxine Fitch, Wilson. N. Y.; and Blanche Whitman, Saranac Lake, N. Y. Dr. and Mrs. Burrell are now living at 222 University PI., Ithaca, N. Y. Congratulations! It is always interesting to note the success or outstanding achievement of any graduate. We notice among the names of those in the class of 1925 that of Miss Marguerite Murray. It is reported that one of Miss Murray ' s pupils has attained state- wide honor by writing an essay entitled My Rewards for Observing Safety and enter- ing it in the state contest conducted by the Highway Education Board of the State of New York, in which contest she was awarded third place. We congratulate Miss Murray on being the instructress of so worthy a pupil. « i $6  Alumni Jgetog Miss Anne Cavanaugh, ' 93, lives in Winnipeg, Canada.

Alice Pardy said, There goes a bookworm. Teacher: Mr. Merrihew, what did you think of the lecture last night? Ed.: Gee, I thought that a German Museum would be a nice place to spend a honeymoon. Ed.

' Twas in a restaurant they met, Romeo and Juliet, — He had no cash to pay the debt. So Romeo ' d what Juli-et! Francis Pierce at Mid- Year Ball: I do hope you ' ll pardon my dancing on your feet. I am a little out of practice. Grace Johnson: 1 don ' t mind your dancing on them; it ' s the continued jumping off and on that aggravates me. 1 Helen Rabinowitz: This is a free world. Ed. Merrihew: Yes, otherwise you wouldn ' t be here. 1 1 Francis Pierce: You can ' t add a horse or a sheep and get two horses or two sheep, can you? Ida Jacques: No, but you can add a quart of water and a quart of milk and you can get two quarts of milk, can ' t you? « 1 63  the: cardial TIRES MIXED Rose: You know, he had those Gallstone tires on his car! Mr. Rustcrholtz: Don ' t you think it would be nice to have our Science Club picture taken out at Cook ' s with a couple of his horses? Gen Douglass: I think it would be very nice. It would be different. Pat: Yes, Gen, you would look smaller anyway. Charlotte Priest: I ' ve changed my mind. Ed Funnell: Does it work any better?

Alice Pardy (looking at a book of quotations and seeing one from The Sanskrit ) : Sanskrit — Who was he? Mary Hickey ' s Hart is O. K. (understood without a physicians ' s examination): He has failed her only once. THINGS WE WOULD HATE TO SEE PARTED Peg Ryan from her dimples. Pat Kelly from a bottle of mayonnaise.

[, Lewis ( undertone): It must have been a night-mare! 1 1 Doctor Peterson: Why did you spell pneumatic, newmatic? Frances Hunter: Because the k on my typewriter isn ' t working. i 1 One day Sybil Brown fell down the stairs at the City Hall and struck the wall. Dorothy Tart said, Another crash in the stock market. Sybil ' s gone to the wall. i i AGGRAVATIN ' AGGIES Here ' s to the Juniors (Too long they have waved.) All success to them! (They ' ll need to b e saved.) Honor and laud (The Juniors have canned it) The choice of the school (The stuck-ups demand it) Praiseworthy pupils! (Baloney and phoney.) Brains of the nation (Some more of their hooey) So here ' s to the Juniors (May they always be FLOURISHING) The only thing is — THEIR BRAINS ALL NEED NOURISHING.

Patty: Well, I ' m in a fix. 1 Rod Buckley (on a trip from Burlington) : It this where we take the lake? Mr. Noyes: Take the lake! I should say not. It ' s bad enough to cross the ice without a bath. Miss Ketchum (in penmanship class): At joo Park Avenue, they have all kinds of tests. They also have nice-looking young ladies to show you about. Spend the afternoon there, and look them over. It will be worth your time. Heard during rehearsal for The Thirteenth Chair : Mr. Hartman: Oh, you arc xx- s P Q X Miss Tart (to Mr. Noyes): Am I really as poor as he says? Mr. Noyes: Peary came from the state of great men. Miss Tart: I suppose it was Maine. Mr. Noyes: No, Chazy. Miss Tart: That ' s not a state. Mr. Noyes: Oh, yes, a state of mind. Miss Tart: I suppose I should get under the table. Mr. Noyes: I doubt if you could get under. In advanced science class talking about mentality of men and women: Lena Smith: Don ' t women age before men? Mr. Rusterholtz: Not if they can help it. Mr. Hartman: I hope you found the novel I lent you interesting. Peg Quinn: I did, but not near as interesting as the letter someone left in it as as a bookmark. « 169  Then this, asked dejected Ed Funnell, is absolutely final? Quite, was Charlotte ' s reply. Shall I return your letters? Yes, please, answered poor Eddie, there ' s some good material in them that 1 can use again. 1 i My grandfather, said the English boy, was a very great man. One day Queen Victoria touched him on the shoulder with a sword and made him a knight. Aw, that ' s nothin ' , the American boy replied. One day an Indian touched my grandfather on the head with a tomahawk and made him an angel. i 1 Principal: 1 may be able to employ you as a teacher for a start — after that it will depend on yourself.

Marian Call: How should you address the Secretary of the Navy? Dorothy Tart: Your Warship, I suppose. Emory Tooly: Who is the most sought-after boy in Normal, and why am I? Sybil: Is he a careful driver? Ann: Very. He always toots his horn before crossing a railroad track. « 170  Ed Lavigne: Should a person be punished for something he hasn ' t done? Miss Ketchum: Of course not. Ed: Well, I haven ' t done my penmanship. 1 Sybil Brown (looking at a book of quotations with Alice Pardy): Say, how many different authors wrote poems called Ibid anyway? Anita Wolcott: Say, Pat, how do you spell relieved ? Pat Kelly: US when we get our diplomas. i 1 Frances: The theme songs of the talkies are taken from the classics. Mr. Street: Yes, they steal what they can, and can what they steal. 1 1 Mrs. Nye: Didn ' t I tell you to notice when the soup boiled over? M Nye: I did. It was just half-past ten. 1 1 Miss Carroll: Were you one of the many fooling with the stock market? Miss Ketchum: Not me. I was serious — the market did the fooling. 1 1 Grace: Can you dance on one foot? Ed: Of course. Grace: Then keep off my other one. 1 1 Passerby: Are the fish biting? Mr. Hartman (wearily): I don ' t know. If they are, they ' re biting each other. i 1 Peg Brennan: But, Mother, what am I to do without a riding habit? Mother: Get the walking habit. 1 i Lyda Drowne: Have you heard the last thing about Rudy Vallee? Mary Hickey: No, but I ' d like to. « 171  THE CARDIAL Rod: Would you mind getting out of the gutter?

Anita: My feet got hot and I turned the hose on them. t i Mrs.: Dieb, did you mail that letter I gave you? Dieb: Yes, indeed. I remember very distinctly mailing it in the first box I came to. You can see for yourself that it isn ' t in any of my pockets. Mrs.: That will do, Dieb. I gave you no letter to mail. Mr. Street: Miss Pyle, who was Chopin? Eleanor Pylc: Chopin was the King of China. Absent-minded Professor: Have I had my afternoon nap, my dear? His wife: Certainly. You just woke up. Professor: I thought so, but I wasn ' t sure whether I ' d been asleep or just dreamed it. 1 i Stop asking questions nobody can answer, ordered Mr. Diebolt. Now, not another word! Just one more, Dad, pleaded Alfred Junior. Say, if I was twins, which one would I be? i 1 Can you give an example of wasted energy? asked Miss Carroll. Telling a hair-raising story to a bald-headed man, replied Irene Lewis. Anita Wolcott (in Economics class): Gen talks a great deal, doesn ' t she? Pat Kelly: Yes, I think she must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle. t i Emory Tooly: You look sweet enough to eat. Pat Kelly: I do eat.
