THE CARDINAL Twentieth Edition Published by Class of 1934 The Plattsburgh State Normal School Foreword THE struggles and achievements of our class of thirty- four at Plattsburgh State Normal School are but a brief chapter in the eventful history of Cham- plain Valley, yet in our lives they are most impor- tant. It is with a desire to treasure the happy memories of our school days here, that the senior class and CARDINAL Staff have labored in union and harmony to produce this year book. If it but provokes one smile of understanding, one remembrance of a thing well done, and makes our Normal just a bit more dear to you, our efforts will have been worth while. Theme of The rich historic background against which Platts- burgh Normal is set has prompted the CARDINAL staff of 1934 to reflect, through drawing, photograph and interesting bits of information, a portion of this local color and to use it as a setting for the chronol- ogy of school life for 1933-34. 1 Dedication THE class of 1034 dedicates this CARDINAL to Mr. Paul H. Hartman. our adviser and loyal friend, trusting that it may convey a part of our esteem and appreciation for his unfailing guidance and help dur- ing our three years at Normal. The Class of ' 34. Greetings and Reply to Dedication To the Class of 1934: Your graduation is at hand. I congratulate you on that fact, but more especially do I commend the unusual merit and distinction which you have shown in all phases of your school ' s life during the past three years. These years have been filled for the most part with your efforts to acquire certain knowledge and skill, all designed to fit you for service as a teacher. But there is something more than mere professional skill necessary to be a real artisan in any field. A man may acquire almost a perfect skill in manipulating a machine or device, but without a genuine interest in the work he is doing, a thorough knowledge and appreciation of the materials he works with and the results sought for, a wholesome and loyal affection for his fellow-workers, he will always remain just a machine-hand; never will he become a genuine craftsman. John Ruskin once said. When love and skill work together expect a master- piece. Real success in teaching is as much a matter of heart as of head. With- out the heart interest no masterpiece was ever wrought, nor can it be. Like all other fields of endeavor, the teaching profe ssion has far too many machine- hands; too few creative artisans. It is for you to choose which you will be. but if my rather close association with you has not clouded my prophetic vision, your future will be hall-marked to an exceptional degree. I deeply appreciate the genuine good-fellowship which it has been mine to enjoy at your hands during these years just ending. Because of you the past three years have been lifted for me a little above the average, the ordinary, and the common. If it be true that a pleasant memory is a thing of gold. then have I received from you a rich legacy indeed, and shall be forever in your debt. To be the recipient of your final act of good will, the dedication of THE CARDINAL, adds just one more nugget to the golden hoard. Greetings to Dr. Ward THE Class of 19 54 is honored to have been the first senior class of the Pittsburgh State Normal School to know Dr. Charles C. Ward. During our short year together, we have appre- ciated his kindness and his faithful efforts for our success. Greetings from Dr. Ward The 1934 CARDINAL contains the annals of the first Plattsburgh Senior Class which is known to me personally. Because of this, your year book has especial significance to me, not alone for its record of your achievement and of your aspirations but also because it commemorates a group whose good-will and kindliness have helped immeasurably in the education of the Freshman principal. Your loyalty and your willingness to share largely in our common effort to perpetuate the fine traditions and idealism of your Alma Mater have won for you an honorable place which the years cannot efface. Because I have come to know you in this way, I can predict for you that richness of living which is the meaning of life itself. In your professional service I can promise you that intangible satisfaction which is more permanent than all other values. It is more permanent because it comes only from the realization of having given self that the children of today and the citizens of tomorrow may live more completely. To this end your school is dedicated and for this purpose you are destined. For its realization all our good wishes together with our services go with you.

Miss Alice O ' Brien, instructor in English, and Miss Harriett Ingalls. first grade critic and model teacher. Each successive year has brought a new group of stu- dents into their care, and each of us has consciously or unconsciously been molded into finer individuals and better teachers by their daily exemplification of the Ideal Teacher. The (acuity and student body join in honoring these three who have endeared themselves to us. and rejoice that now in retiring from active service they may reap the benefits of their life work. We wish for them many serene years of health and contentment and the enjoyment of the rich experience which they have gathered. Though they now relinquish the daily task, the high ideals which they have instilled into us will continue to flourish and grow in our hearts. With our love, respect, and admiration, we bid them Adieu. 21  , The Student Council Senior Members Amos Moussaw, President Delia Alden. Secretary Erma Smith Junior Members Jennie Laramie.

Taylor The Student Council was organized for the following purpose: The administration of the Normal School desires the Student Body to assume individual and community responsibility for the conduct of students in and out of school and it believes that such responsibility, if given to the students, will make for growth in character and power, and will promote loyalty to the best interests of the school. « 22  CLASSES Dr. La oque as Father Isaac Rogues in Pageant of 1914.

Treasurer « 52  Junior Class History September. 1932, saw a group of ninety eager and excited freshmen launch- ing on their career in Plattsburg State Normal. We were immediately sub- mitted to a series of tests in which we proved beyond a doubt that we are a class possessed of unusual abilities, lofty ideals, and extraordinary intelligence. After a few weeks in getting acquainted with each other, a freshman meet- ing was called to organize the class and to elect officers for the year. Our extra- ordinary intelligence was clearly demonstrated by the choice of officers which was as follows: President, Verfield Graves: vice-president, Jane Wright: sec- retary Marjorie Ingalls: treasurer, Walter Gonyea. Mr. H. Otis Noyes was chosen as faculty adviser. This was one of the wisest things ever accomplished by the class of 1935 as Mr. Noyes has been an untiring and ever-ready aid and adviser in all of our class functions. Early in October we were royally entertained by the juniors and seniors at a dance in the new gymnasium. This act of hospitality was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by us. and we returned the courtesy by giving a return dance to the upperclassmen shortly before Thanksgiving vacation. Our one big social function of the year, the mid-year hop. came in January. It was highly successful, and greatly enjoyed by the 185 couples who attended. The last months of the year were rather calm and sedate. There were a few sorrowful moments at graduation at parting with the seniors among whom we had found many fine friends and advisers. September. 1933, found us all glad to be back together again. By this time much of the greenness of our freshman days had worn off and we were ready to take up our duties as juniors. A class meeting was called shortly after the opening of school. At this meeting all of our class officers were re-elected for the year. This was a fine tribute for the manner in which they had conducted our affairs of the preced- ing years and an acknowledgment of our trust in them. In October the juniors combined with the seniors to give a party and recep- tion to the freshmen. There was a huge crowd present and a fine time was had by all. So far this year we have not done much of note except to put on one assem- bly program. Another junior assembly program is in the making. Our big social function of the year, the junior prom, is set for June 1. All committees have been appointed for this affair and we are assured of a fine lime on the night of June 1. The junior class has just recently received one of the worst blows, we hope, ever to have to pull through. Mr. Noyes. our class adviser and friend, has announced that he is taking a year ' s leave of absence to pursue graduate- work for his Ph.D. We are sincerely sorry to lose your help. Mr. Noyes. but nevertheless take this opportunity to thank you for the many things you have done for us and to wish you all kinds of luck and success. As the school year draws to a close and our thoughts turn to graduation and summer vacation, we feel a pang of regret at parting with our friends in the senior class, but all we can say is, Best of luck and lots of success.

Davidson of Mac- donough ' s victory in that the artist has vividly and accurately portrayed Macdonough ' s famous strategy that defeated the British fleet. Rear Admiral Mahan. United State Navy, describes Macdonough ' s tactics in brief as follows: The American fleet ivas inferior to the British fleet in size, in power of guns and in speed. Macdonough realizing all this determined to make the British Commodore fight him on his (Macdonough ' s) own grounds. Macdonough was aware that General Provost of the British land forces intended to make combined land and navy attack especially upon the three forts where Plattsburg Barracks are now located. This would mean a navy attack upon the rear of the forts and would make their position untenable. There was a light northeast wind blowing and Macdonough sailed up under the lee of Cumberland Head and anchored his ships in battle line, heading into the wind and facing Cumberland Head. He knew he had no chance in a running battle up the lake. He anchored his ships from both bow and stern with arrangements so that the forward cable lines could be cut. if necessary, and the ships swung around to present a fresh broadside. This strategy the British Commodore did not take into consideration. The British guns played havoc with the American ships during the first part of the battle and had the advantage. Macdonough realizing that the critical moment had come ordered the forward cables cut and in the light northeast wind his ships swung around with comparative ease and presented their fresh broadside (port side) to the enemy. The British boats tried to come about but were raked with gun fire from bow to stern. In a few minutes the British colors were hauled down and the Hag of surrender sent up. Davidson ' s painting portrays the particular moment of the battle when Macdonough ' s ships swung around on their stern anchors and opened their fresh broadside. It will be noted that Cumberland Head is shown in the back- ground and that the American ships are now pointed away from the Head instead of towards it. It will also be noted that the port side guns are in opera- tion against the British ships, the starboard (or right side guns) having been silenced during the earlier part of the battle. Davidson has portrayed the dramatic moment of this battle and has given to this painting a historic value and intense interest. From a letter of Frank M. Moore. Secretary of Plattsburgh Chamber of Commerce, to Miss Susan E. Arthur. November 16. 1928. « 58  -Arnold ' s Voint on Vakour Island. FRESHMEN Freshman Class Officers President EDGAR BUCKLEY Vice- President JUNE GETTYS Secretary JOYCE MAGCON Treasurer HAROLD SHUBERT Class Adviser — MR. JOHN RUSTERHOLTZ Class Colors — Maroon and Silver Class Motto — Out of school life into life ' s school. « 60  Freshman Class History It came to pass in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred thirty- three that one hundred eager but inexperienced young freshmen entered the Halls of Learning, namely, Plattsburg State Normal School. They were beset on all sides by wild and ferocious looking men and women who called them- selves Juniors and Seniors. They bravely fought their way through numerous attacks upon their personal dignity planned by these crafty upperclassmen. In order to better withstand these outsets of the upper classmates, the fresh- men decided to organize themselves into a unit so that they might wax a strong, sturdy competition. They organized and chose from among their number the ablest and wisest of their group to guide them through the paths of knowledge. As a result of this campaign Edgar Buckley was chosen president: June Gettys, vice-president: Joyce Magoon, secretary: and Harold Shubert. treasurer. Mr. John Rusterholtz was asked to act as their guide through the year and thus he became their class adviser. Now they were settled and bravely pushed their undaunted spirits into the ferocity of a bevy of parties. True to their freshman spirits they came forth victorious and with the feeling that they had been royally entertained by their upperclassmen. Their Waterloo came in January. Mid-years! The very word made them shudder. Freshmen were seen weakly creeping along the halls vainly trying to keep their heads above the floor. As they passed certain doors of the facu lty members, they would quicken their steps — anything to get by unseen. Another week and all this was conquered and they were soon on the road to the Mid-year Hop which was the biggest sensation of the year because they put their sturdy shoulders to the wheel and made it stand out in the history of Normal School. Teddy Brewer and his orchestra of radio fame ably helped them to do this, also the energy and unfailing interest of Mr. Harold Shubert and various committees. This marked another epoch in the prosperity of the class. March 6 was chosen as the proper date to exhibit the talent of the class. The assembly was of a musical comedy nature and proved to be very interesting and profitable to all. The last days of school were drawing near. Spring days grew warmer until June arrived. Finals and farewells all in one breath and the freshmen had conquered their first year at the Plattsburg State Normal School.

' ' Perhaps not. but doubtless, you would be willing to combine study and recreation by attending a school which, besides offering a complete, well balanced program, presented by highly qualified and efficient teachers, enjoyed such advantageous location. Each year since 1920 many New York State teachers have attended the Summer Session of Plattsburg State Normal, where the beautiful natural sur- roundings have lent new meaning to seemingly prosaic facts. Science classes have, by visits to Ausable Chasm, discovered just what young rivers, inclined strata and giant pot holes are, and why they are important. Familiarity with local historic spots and interesting legends, have made parts of United States history more real to many, while fields of graceful white daisies bowing before a lake cooled breeze have helped others to appreciate more fully Wordsworth ' s picture of: A host of golden daffodils. Beside ihe lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. « 66  The Summer Session On July 3, the summer session began with 180 students enrolled. Mr. Diebolt, at the request of Doctor Hawkins, acted as director of the Summer School. The usual program of subjects was offered. Daily assembly, through spirited singing and interesting platform lectures, helped to promote a wholesome spirit, which was very pronounced throughout the session. The science class featured several interesting trips. Accompanied by Pro- fessor Rusterholtz, they had a Saturday trip to Heart Lake in the Adirondacks. While there, the party climbed Mt. Mclntyre. On another trip Mr. Paul Hagar, a professor of astronomy in Jersey City, spoke informally to the group and directed a study of some of the planets by using his telescope. A little later, the advanced science class visited the Morgan Botanical Gardens in Quebec. Canada. At another time, the entire class breakfasted at Ausable Chasm and went for an early morning trip through this Eastern Wonderland. It is, of course, impossible to be in any of Mr. Rusterholtz ' s classes without going out to visit Cook ' s stock and florist farm. There were also several local trips into the limestone regions on Cumberland Head where the students went fossil hunting. What fun! But more than fun — what a stimulus to the growth of interest in science! The annual Summer School picnic was attended by 1 1 1 students and was held at Plattsburg Beach on Lake Champlain. Surf-boarding and aquatic base- ball were the favorite sports. We understand that Miss Carroll developed a doubting Alfred complex this summer when Mr. Diebolt offered to take her and several students for a ride in his modernized boat. As usual Miss Carroll was right, for the first- class motorboat proved to possess an uncertain mechanism. It was found neces- sary to compromise by taking an automobile. August 1 1 marked the close of the summer session. After once attending Summer School, it is not difficult for anyone to understand why Plattsburg Normal ' s summer session continues to grow in popularity. N.

Hudson 1855-1934 A master of method: potent with vision and skill in execution; rich in accomplishment in several fields of research; living completely, and devoted to the problems of man ' s progress: happy in the pursuit of unimposed labors. Doctor Hudson was graced with a personality, flexible and pervading, that is a spiritual heritage to his pupils. His fidelity to truth should be an inspiration to you who follow him. W. H. LADUE. ' 05. « 71  Dedication of Hudson Memorial June 12, 1933 On the campus of our school which he loved so well and served so faith- fully, there is a bronze tablet commemorating in a humble way the larger use- fulness of our friend and teacher, Dr. George H. Hudson. His life is more lasting than bronze in its influence on the life and character of his students. But it is particularly fitting that this token of memory should be erected, a constant reminder to those who have known him and a means of informing students in the days to come of the service of one who has meant much to our school. On the afternoon of the eleventh of last June a group of alumni met on the campus to unveil this tablet. Mrs. Charlotte Mason, president of the alumni, presided and introduced Dr. W. H. Ladue who gave the address of dedication. Speaking of Professor Hudson. Doctor Ladue pointed out that By the happy blending of purpose and deed and of the fruits of head and heart and hand, he had transmuted earth and elements into bloom until in such a climate of gratitude even weeds begin to dream and hope. ' John L. Rea. class of 1902. contributed the model from which the bronze was cast, a remarkably sympathetic and skillful conception. The tablet has already become an integral part of our campus. « 72 Reports from the Battlefield Advances, Retreats, Victories of the P.S.N. S. Alumni ON PARADE During the evening of the forty-third annual banquet of the Alumni Association of Plattsburg State Normal School held at the Cumberland Hotel. June 12. 1933. Dr. George K. Hawkins, retiring principal, was presented with a hand- some Malacca cane and umbrella. The presenta- tion speech was made by Frederick Homer Rea of Patcrson. N. J., who characterized Doctor Haw- kins as a man of progress, of wisdom, of gener- ous interests, of profound understanding, of cheer: a man of patience, of unusual breadth of view, of high purpose, of far-seeing vision, and of tireless industry. Doctor Hawkins as toastmaster called upon the following, who spoke interestingly and paid tribute to Doctor Hawkins as principal of the school and as an educator: Charlotte S. Mason, alumni president: Charles H. Kcedle. president of the class of 1 033: John H. Rusterholtz of th; faculty: Dr. A. N. Henshaw of the faculty: Hon. W. E. Pierce, president of the Local Board of Visitors: Dr. J. Cayce Morrison. As- sistant Commissioner for Elementary Education. Mrs. G. R. Allen of Champlain sang the popular Indian Love Call. Alumni officers elected for the coming year were Dr. Edwin Sartwell. president: Mr. John L. Rea. vice-president: Mrs. Stephen Quinn. secretary: Miss Anne Carroll, treasurer. A much anticipated day for the Plattsburg Normal School alumni of New York City and vicinity is the second Saturday in May of each year, when the reunion is held at the Hotel McAlpin. However, all graduates of Plattsburg No.-mal arc invited to attend. The chief business of the meeting was the election of the following officers for the coming year: President — Mr. James R. Meehan of Newark. N. J. Vice-President — Mr. Francis Ryan of New York City. Secretary — Miss Madeline E. Hitz of White Plains. N. Y. Treasurer — Miss Catherine Kyley of Peeks- kill. N. Y. Many Plattsburg Normal graduates annually attend the New York State College for Teachers at Albany, aspirants for either the Bachelor ' s or the Master ' s degrees. One of the brightest spots in their summer ' s experiences is the Get-together of this particular group. Last summer the reunion took the form of a picnic at the Old Tavern grounds, located a few miles from Albany on the Western Avenue Turnpike. Practically all of the former Platts- burg students in attendance at State were present, and Tuesday. July 18. 1933. became a long-to- be-remembered date. The gang included Evelyn M. Petlingell. who most efficiently acted as Chairman. Luetta Raux. Laura SoRelle, Mabel Brewer, Mr. and Mrs. Everett Allen. Esther Signor. Alfreda Kast- ncr. Margaret Cathcart. Alberta Moody.

Mr. Clinton Reed of the State Education Department, and Jean and Joyce Terwilligcr were also guests. Games and swimming were the chief pastimes, interspersed with reminiscences of Plattsburg « 73 days, and the lunch, provided by the manage- ment of THE OLD TAVERN, was thoroughly enjoyed. Another parly will undoubtedly be held this summer, since most of those attending last year expect to return. AWARD FOR BRAVERY Foster Loso of Elizabeth. N.

Beta Sigma has recorded another successful year. We began our activities promptly the third week of September, and kept up this tempo throughout the year. This society was first organized by interested students of advanced litera- ture with the advice and support of Mr. Paul H. Hartman. The purpose is to carry on the study of good literature. To be eligible for membership, one must have earned a B average in survey literature courses and must be desirous of continuing his study of literature through membership in the club. This year we made a study of the literature of different countries and we also contributed some creative work. For our assembly program, members of Beta Sigma portrayed scenes from An Old Sweetheart of Mine and Abou Ben Adhem. The members of Beta Sigma have derived both pleasure and profit from the society. We feel that our thanks shall go to Mr. Hartman for his splendid cooperation. We hope the future members may enjoy a happy, successful year and keep Beta Sigma always a progressive society.

Sibley « 82  Rural Club Activities The Rural Club is a comparatively young organization in Plattsburg State Normal School, but its popularity is inversely proportionate to its age. From rather small beginnings in the summer of 1931 the club has grown until its present membership includes over a third of the entire student body. Made up in the beginning for the most part of students specializing in the rural field it has broadened itself and now includes students from all departments. It might very well be called the Normal Club. The club has combined social and professional life. Once a month a goodly number of the members can be found having a pleasant time at the monthly social meeting. Part of each meeting is given over to lectures on various sub- jects of interest. During this year the following speakers were on the schedule: Lt. Jasper E. Brady on The Battle of Plattsburg : Miss Sibley on Eti- quette : Doctor Webster of the Dannemora State Hospital on Esperanto : Mr. Thomas Weldon. editor of the Plattsburg Daily Press, on Cartooning. Cards, other varied games and dancing were also enjoyed at these monthly meetings. In addition to the regular meetings, the club sponsored a tea dance, a dinner dance, a mountain climb, sleigh rides, and incidental excursions to Bouyea ' s Bakery, the Press office, the paper mill, and Dannemora Prison. The annual banquet in May concluded the most successful Rural Club year thus far.

Every male student in the school is eligible to membership, and the main function of the club is to form a common ground of approach to prob- lems which are pertinent to all of us. It is our aim to do the things which will do the most good for the largest number. Early in December the faculty were given a smoker by the men. The entertainment was furnished by certain robust individuals who put on several wrestling bouts. The faculty in return gave the students a smoker in the latter part of March, at which time they took it upon themselves to hand us a thorough beating in a volley ball contest. After the volley ball game an excellent lunch was served and Mr. Charles La Fee gave an interesting talk. It was a large evening. « 85  The Scie nee Club OFFICERS President JULIA SMITH Vice-President GWENDOLYN PRUH Secretary MARY CARSON Adviser — JOHN H. RUSTERHOLTZ The Science Club, made up of members of the advanced science class, endeavors, under the guidance of Mr. Rusterholtz. to provide opportunity for intensive study and research along scientific lines. It has been our particul ar aim to emphasize the fact that the true scientist, likewise the wise teacher, can find much material for study at his very door yard, and can capitalize on the things which nature places conveniently by. « 86  Science Club Activities It has been said that science instruction is the awakening of an intelligent interest in the world of nature which lies all about us. The Science Club of 1934 has fostered this interest by visiting in many places of scientific impor- tance in the immediate vicinity of the Normal School. The first trip was to the power plant of the Physicians ' Hospital. The chief interest was the great steam-driven dynamos which generate electricity for use in the hospital, the exhaust steam being used for heating purposes. The second trip was to Cook ' s greenhouse to visit the pre-Easter flower show. The particular interest of the class this time was centered in the minia- ture house some of the members of the class had made for the landscape garden. It fitted beautifully in the corner of the garden among the green grass and spring flowers. Its stucco walls, green roof, tiny window boxes, and even the crisp, snowy curtains at the windows bespoke a real model of a home. The purpose of this annual flower show is to display the winter growth of plants for the Easter trade, but to the science class it is a wonderful demonstration of man ' s control over nature. The Club next visited some beds of Beekmantown limestone. Some of the interests were the tests made for limestone and the abundance of that stone, the tilt in the bedrock, also the faults, with the intrusion of igneous rock. The fossils show this particular limestone to be of marine formation. Some proposed trips and their objectives are: Peru Apple Orchards in apple blossom time, with a lecture by Doctor Burrell of Cornell University; Cumber- land Head, for Trenton limestone and fossils of trilobites; Chazy, to study the products manufactured from limestone; Cadyville, to study Potsdam sand- stone: and a trip through Ausable Chasm as a climax to the excursions for the school year.

It is with the purpose in view of fitting teachers to understand and cope effectively with these situations, and of providing a general cultural background for primary teachers, that the Lower Primary Club has been organized. ' A higher grade of lower grade teachers is our aim! « 88  Lower Primary Club Activities The Lower Primary Club has completed another most successful year. Meeting every second Tuesday of the month in the kindergarten room, we have been able to develop many interests outside our regular academic work. The club always welcomes girls taking courses in the department. Our program for the past year shows many varied activities: September — Organization and planning for the year, each member voicing her interests. November — Churning party in the kindergarten room where we learned to make butter. December — Christmas party at Miss Barber ' s home. There was a lovely evening with carols and pipe organ music. January — Sketches based on etiquette. February — Valentine program in the Kindergarten, with original poetry. March — Visit to the Vilas Home, giving a program for the ladies who live there. April — Visit to the Children ' s Home of Northern New York. Our assembly program, a fashion show, was such a success that we decided to make the feature an annual event. The club is now engaged in an activity which will give us an idea of cor- rect salesmanship, manner of selecting the best clothing materials and thrifty- buying. It is with a deep feeling of worthwhile accomplishment that we see this year close, and we trust that the next one will be filled with many new interests and activities. Barbara Mary.

HARTMAN To satisfy the long felt need for dramatics the Lamron Club was formed, the purpose being to provide practical instruction in dramatics, to further inter- est in the drama, and to provide entertainment for its members and other members of the Plattsburg State Normal. « 90  Lamron Activities Lamron, having heard that one is young but once, is enjoying its youth, and in so doing feels that it has contributed to the pleasure of P. S. N. S. stu- dents during the past year. Soon after our organization in September, we started work on a short comedy entitled Another John Alden, which proved to be well worth the efforts of its enthusiastic producers and performers. This was the first of a number of one act plays and variety programs presented at our semi-monthly meetings. In February new members were initiated into our ranks, and with replen- ished energy we began preparations for our Assembly Program. The two plays selected and directed by student members were The Host and The Elopement. In the latter James Cronin demonstrated his unusual talent for conducting nuptial flights. Aside fro m our work within the school, Lamron has participated in two performances of The Plattsburg Little Theatre, The Barker and The Man in the Bowler Hat. In both these plays several of our members were cast in major and minor roles, while another group received their initial training in the backstage mechanics connected with the production of a play. With the Two Bit Performance of April, Lamron brought the activities of its initial year to a close. These three plays, directed by Mr. Hartman, with the able assistance of Miss Marjorie Rock and Miss Helen Finnegan, dis- played some outstanding histrionic ability, and established a standard which it will be difficult to surpass.

Hartman Interfraternity Council is made up of three representatives of each sorority or fraternity of the Normal School who endeavor to regulate matters of rush, pledge and all interfraternity relationships. During the past year in an effort to carry out the spirit of Doctor Ward ' s injunction, the whole is greater than its parts, the council has worked out a new plan for conducting the affairs of the fraternities on a more sound and friendly basis, endeavoring always to place the welfare of the school above that of any individual or section.

Just school to many, but to a certain group of girls it means renewing friendships in Clio, the dearest treasure we possess. On a warm September evening we gather at the Young Women ' s League. A few of our sorority cooks ' ' have prepared a welcome-back supper, upon which scene we gaily march, singing a Clio song. Time passes all too quickly!

February 24. After a gala evening of dancing, we pledge our new members. Now it is February! We entertained with a Bridge Party and also held our Annual Raffle. Easter Vacation! This is a time when most of us forget school and sorority, but some of us gave bridge parties and held together as much as possible. In April, our Alumni Association entertained us with a Bridge Party, before which we had the pleasure of hearing a few of our Alumni speak. Now it is June! After a happy year we say goodbye to our Clionian Sisters, some of us for only a few months and some of us forever. There is a round of parties which mean so much to those of us who are leaving for the last time. A few of us are gathered together, reminiscing over our three happy years in Clio, a memory we will cherish long in our hearts. Softly singing a Clio song we depart. M. R.

For a good beginning last September, we held socialized business meetings with once-a- month sorority suppers at the L. Early in the year, we held a tea to which we invited the Clionian and Agonian sororities. Judge North of the Children ' s Court was the guest speaker. In December, an assembly program that depicted the Battle of Plattsburg in dramatic form proved both entertaining and instructive. Rush opened with a good start as the frosh went on a cruise on the Alpha Delta ship of good fun. Then came the inter-fraternity dance and. as pledge drew near, our spirit soared, for nothing could have pleased us more than the ten freshman girls who took the impressive pledge of Alpha Delta one midnight after a banquet at Normal Court. At Christmas time carol singing featured the Alpha Delta luncheon parties. Informal initiation was rough we admit, but the frosh proved the best of good sports. Formal initiation, followed by a dance, was a big success. The Normal gym was a riot of color when the gay Alpha Deltas and their escorts appeared in formal dress. Many things are being planned to round out this sorority year. Naomi Irwin. « IOO  Theta Chapter of Alpha Delta Founded 1866 Alpha. Brockport Beta. Oneonta Gamma. Frcdonia Charlotte E. Chase Delta.

The first meeting of the year was called in the latter part of September, 1933. The roll was taken of the active members and problems for the coming year were discussed. A social party and dance was immediately decided upon which was held two weeks later in the gymnasium. The entire student body and faculty were invited. Many new friends were made at this party and a jolly good time was enjoyed by all. Our next important activity was an assembly program. We decided to revive the good old days when Delta Tau Chi was made famous for its minstrel talent. We staged a minstrel show in the auditorium for the benefit of the students. It proved a huge success and was repeated a number of times in nearby towns. A few weeks after mid-year exams we began looking for new members. We were not disappointed in the pledges. Informal initiation was enjoyed by everyone, the neophytes proving themselves to be the real men that they are. Formal initiation followed with its solemnity and beauty. The initiation ban- quet was held at Normal Court. Twenty-two young men were heartily wel- comed into Delta Tau Chi. The meetings were held regularly every two weeks at which the new mem- bers became acquainted and entered witb great enthusiasm into the task of making Delta Tau Chi a living and active fraternity. Plans are now going forward for the big event of the year — the spring banquet. This year, the banquet should be bigger and better than ever. A grand time is expected by all who attend.

Jean Welch i i â–   The Student Prints The Student Prints was first started in the written expression class, first semester of the 1933-34 session. Such a project was felt to be of the utmost worth to the school both for enlarging the scope of the school ' s interests and contacts and as a medium for student expression. With these thoughts in mind the first issue was started. A campaign for a name was started and Miss Ernestine Markham submitted the name which was eventually chosen. The first staff elected by members of the class with Charles Downey as editor- in-chief successfully published two editions of The Student Prints, mimeo- graphing it and distributing it free to the student body. At the beginning of the second term the staff was reorganized and plans for a printed newspaper were formulated. Under Mr. Hartman ' s capable direction the first printed issue was published before Easter vacation. The new staff was composed of many of the original members and was augmented by many capable Juniors. A subscription list was started and to Mrs. George Lynch, class of 1913, Plattsburg, goes the honor of being the first alumna subscribing. It is hoped the Prints will be a means of keeping in touch with P. S. N. S. after graduation and of keeping in touch with one another. If the Prints accomplishes its purpose of keeping these healthful contacts alive, it will not have lived in vain. « 1 12  Commodore Thomas AJacdonough MUSICAL ACTIVITIES Orchestra Piano Marguerite Langey Violins Herman Broderick Carolyn Mason Mildred Wilkes Frances Murray Edith Sullivan MEMBERS Saxophones Gordon Shaw Bradley Grimshaw Verfield Graves Clarinet Lloyd LaPorte Cornel Fuller Allen Drum Ruth Mundy ' Cello Leona Bonville The P.

It represented the creative ability of students not only in design and color applied to decorat- ing but also in costuming. An artistic array of colors prevailed throughout the large gymnasium with lighting effects of orange, red and yellow, and canopy of streamers and balloons. Panels seven feet high depicting costumes of various nations, with all painting done in water colors and oils, were hung at intervals on the walls. Grotesque and beautiful masks modeled from clay added to the oriental atmosphere as they peered out between the panels. The Grand March led by Mr. Charles Brown and Miss Irene Berg was unique and fascinating because of the originality shown in costume design. Mickey and Minnie Mouse, a big white cat. Scotchmen. Chinamen. Mexicans. Spaniards. Washington. Uncle Sam, Tradesmen. Convicts. Royalty and story- book characters made a panorama that resembled a pageant of colors blended and costumes contrasted. The music was furnished by Wade ' s Society Orchestra of Canton, com- posed of nine pieces. A Dutch dance was staged under the direction of Miss Goodridge. « 1 18  The Freshman Hop One of the outstanding social events of the year was the Mid-Year Ball sponsored by the Freshman Class. The Ball was held February 1 6 in the gymnasium. The gym was decorated with the class colors, maroon and white, and the Freshman banner was displayed for the first time. Very pleasing music was furnished by Teddy Brewer and his orchestra from New York. The receiving line consisted of Doctor Ward. Mrs. Amsden. Mr. and Mrs. Rusterholtz. Edgar Buckley, June Gettys. Joyce Magoon. and Harold Shubert. The dance was a great success and everyone present seemed to have a very enjoyable time. The chairmen of the committees were: General chairman.

Greene ' 34 Reginald Burton was a success. And that success had come to him. not slowly, but by bounds. It seemed so easy for him to win goal after goal in life ' s race: to rise while so many stumbled, fell and finally gave up. Oh, Reginald had little sympathy for those who could not make the grade, who allowed disappointments and sorrows to beat them down. My life wasn ' t all sunshine in those early years, he ' d say as he recalled his childhood, the death of his parents, the broken home. Then he ' d smile with complacency as he thought of the difficulties he had overcome and how he had finally made for himself a worthwhile name among his fellows. He remembered the honors paid him during the years when he was, first, a successful teacher, then principal, and especially since he ' d been chosen superintendent of the city schools of Walton, a position which many coveted. A leader in every worthwhile cause, honored by membership in several clubs, held in high esteem by noted school officials. Reginald, indeed, might well be proud. But. on a December night as he sat in his shaded study he wondered. Should not success mean happiness? That ' s what it ought to mean to a man. he said, and I ' m not happy — not contented, I ' m certainly missing much in life. What is it? He sighed and h is eyes closed. He must rest — and think. Hark! What was that sound? Reginald was aroused by the terrible scream of someone in pain. He rushed from the house and toward the garage from which the sound come, noticing that one door was open. Then in a flash « i zc  the man saw it all! Someone had attempted to steal his car and as the thief was opening the door, the brakes must have given away and the car had pinned him against the casement. So that ' s your scheme, is it? Reginald blurted out as he struggled to free a youth of perhaps sixteen years, Well. I ' ll see that the police give you a lodging for a few months to come. then he realized that he was talking to deaf ears. The boy was unconscious. Fear replaced his anger as he bent and listened to the slow heart-beats. Quickly he summoned a neighbor and together they carried the boy to Reginald ' s own room and phoned a doctor, then the housekeeper in her kind way took charge of every- thing as she proudly related afterwards because the master never was any good in a sick room. A little later Reginald returned to the room and stared down at the still form. Slowly recognition came to him. Why. he said, it ' s Sonny Allen who just left high school, he lives with an aunt and her family up the lane and she begrudges him every meal. then the man recalled that Sonny had made trouble on several occasions and finally had been dismissed from school. The boy just couldn ' t go straight. he reflected, the best thing to do was to let the police handle the case. It wasn ' t as if it were his first offense, sooner or later he ' d get a prison sentence, anyway. A sigh came from the bed and Reginald turned back, the tired, pain-filled eyes gradually opened and a boyish voice cried out. Oh, sir. please don ' t let them take me away. Please, oh. please give me — another — chance! He again lapsed into unconsciousness and with his mind in a tumult Reginald left the room and returned to his reading. But Reginald Burton did not read, in his ears still rang those pleading words. Give me another chance, another chance, another — Slowly the gates of memory swung open and Reginald was again a lad of seventeen, a freshman in college with high hopes and bright days ahead. But in a rash moment he had broken a rule which had finally led to his dismissal from the institution. This is the end of everything; no one will want to trust me now, he had said. But a year later happened the miracle in his young life. An uncle lived in Medford and he asked Reginald to come and make his home there, adding. You always wanted to be a teacher so you can enroll at the normal here. Expecting nothing save more disappointment, the boy applied for admission and was told to see the principal. As he walked toward the office that day Reginald imagined that those who passed over the Bridge of Sighs must feel little different than he. But when he entered the room he heard a kind voice say, Good morning, son, what can we do for you? « I 2 1  and he looked up into a smiling face. So someone was really going to help him! Quickly he told his story and the same gentle voice then said, Remem- ber, my boy, we all make mistakes, you ' re going to have another chance, we ' re all here to help and I know you ' ll win out. And because those teachers had believed in him and helped him he had earned success in place of defeat. And tonight Reginald wondered — wondered what his life might have been had he received some other welcome on that day so long ago. A smile, a handshake, a few kind words — no one would set a price on them but they had builded a character, made a life worth while. Wake up! Surely Reginald must have been dreaming to be blind so long. He now saw himself as he really was — a mean, selfish man ready to crush a weaker brother. Oh. God. give me a chance to right things. he prayed as he waited for the doctor to come from the sick room. Sonny was rushed to a hospital and, stricken with remorse. Reginald paced outside his room until a doctor told him. He will live but it will be a long time before he is well. What plans Reginald made during the weeks that followed, plans for another ' s happiness. True contentment was his at last, and often his thoughts drifted to the Greatest Teacher of all the years Who spent His life showing men how to find real happiness by living and doing for others. A wonderful moment it was, both for the giver and the receiver, when Reginald asked the orphan lad to become his boy and share his home because we can ' t separate now that we ' ve become pals, can we? and the boy agreed they couldn ' t. But happiest of all was the day Sonny whispered. I ' m going to finish high school, then some day may I go to normal like you did — Dad? « I 22  CLASS DAY Class Day Program Entrance March of the Classes Freshmen, Juniors.

Juniors, Freshmen Ivy Oration Alice Bolles « 124  President ' s Address Doctor Ward, members of the faculty, classmates, and friends: It is my pleasant duty to greet you and extend a word of welcome to our Class Day exercises. We hope that you may receive some small measure of enjoyment from our combined efforts to make this day a fitting close to the three years of class history that have so quickly passed. The Class of 1934 was the last class to attend school at the City Hall during the construction of this new building of which we are all so proud. We therefore form the last student link connecting the old school with the new, and, with the faculty ' s cooperation, have endeavored to preserve the fine stand- ards and traditions handed down to us through Doctor Hawkins, our former principal. Today with our extensive teacher- training program many of us are off the campus for weeks at a time, actively teaching in graded and rural schools. This program makes class unity difficult to maintain, ' tis true, but through the careful planning and foresight of Doctor Ward and his assistants, we are here assembled for our final class meeting. Monday next will see us graduate — a class better equipped than ever, we hope, to meet the challenging situations of the world today. Although in a short while we shall scatter to the four points of the com- pass, we are carrying with us memories of a happy school life closely associated with a principal and faculty who have aided us over the rough spots, forgiven our failings, and inspired us to a more worthwhile completion of our work here. We are exchanging it for a more complicated and responsible work beyond these scenes. It is my hope that we may prove worthy of your trust in us. Edwin R. Funnell. « 125  There ' s Something About a Senior As we march down the aisle. We give you a farewell smile, For you leave when you ' re a Senior, Though the Freshmen think it ' s strange. It won ' t take long to make the change, From a Freshman to a Junior. From a Junior to a Senior. But you ' re happy all the while — Because someone has told ya, That in the Normal School you ' ll see. The changing of the class. You think it ' s great to be a Senior. Because there ' s something about a Senior — Something about a Senior Something about a Senior that looks fine — fine — fine. He may be a Normal Senior. He may be a Prep School Senior, He may be a High School Senior, Who looks fine — fine — fine. But there ' s the cap and gown he ' s wearing. Something about his bearing, Something about their marching all in time — time — time, Oh. a Senior ring and key — Seems to please each sweet lady There ' s something about a Senior that is fine — fine — fine. John O ' Donnell. « 1 26  Mantle Oration Today is the last day that we shall be informally gathered together in the Plattsburg State Normal School. During the three years that we have been here, we have been very happy. We have had many duties to perform, difficul- ties to overcome and, of course, disappointments with which to contend. Nevertheless, we have bravely met all these, and successfully performed what- ever duties have been assigned to us. One year ago. we. the Class of 1934. accepted this mantle, the badge of distinction in all institutions of higher learning. It is the symbol, not only of seniority and authority, but it is also a challenge to carry on, as successfully as our predecessors, the duties of a Senior Class. We are proud of our accomplishments in faithfully fulfilling our obliga- tions. Now it is time for you. the Juniors, to accept the challenge. It is now your privilege as well as duty to take over the work which we are about to finish. Your responsibility will soon begin, and. as I put this cloak upon your shoulders, we trust that you will appreciate its significance — that of leader- ship, responsibility and authority — and will do all in your power — just as we have — to execute the ideals for which it stands, in the march of progress of the Plattsburg State Normal School. Helen Finnegan. « 127  Reply to Mantle Oration As we accept this mantle, the Class of 1935 is reminded, not so much of the pleasures and privileges as of the duties and responsibilities which we are about to assume as Seniors in Plattsburg State Normal School. For three years, you, the Class of 1934. have upheld the ideals of this institution. We. as Seniors, pledge ourselves to the maintenance of those standards which you have so ably set up for us. It is with deep regret on our part that on this occasion, as we are about to assume the status of Seniors, we are also compelled to formally sever the associations which have been made in the last two years. However, it is not my function to express our sorrow at parting with friends, but rather to accept the responsibilities which you are asking us to assume. We consider it an honor to be able to step into your place and we will endeavor to fill the vacancy which you are leaving. It is the rightful heritage of every Senior Class to pass on the traditions symbolized by this mantle. We receive it cheerfully from you. Accept our solemn pledge that we will carry on as best we may. and in our turn attempt to develop in the classes which are to follow, those same high ideals of thought and action, which you have so ably inculcated in the Class of 1935. Manley McKenney. « 128  Class Will We, the Class of ' 34, about to set sail upon the sea of life, Do now and hereby present our last will and testament, The content therein not being of material nature but of sound advice Which we hope will aid those concerned to Live a life of prosperity and enjoyment. To our faculty to whom we owe our key to success, We leave our gratitude, respect and wishes for happiness. Our worthy faculty adviser we always shall remember As the one who guided us through fair and rough weather; So to you, Mr. Hartman, and with great reverberation, We leave our sincere thanks and profound appreciation. This thought is given to the Junior class, Who to the school, laurels will bring. Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom but with all thy getting, get understanding. To the Freshmen to whom we all look to prosper, There is a true proverb which is wont to be commonly quoted — ' All had rather it were well for themselves than for another. This advice is left to Jennie Laramie, who is possessed of much will Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Wise advice is given Mac McKenney and Sis McCurry Who one day for attention did vie, Thus, beware! Nothing escapes the master ' s eye. We wish to leave Fred Gage this parting salute, The man that blushes, is not quite a brute. To Marguerite Langey of whose musical talent we might tell, We leave this saying. Music is said to be the speech of the Angels. We leave to Charles Fitzpatrick, that little man of might. This kindly advice, It is better to be upright than to be kept upright. Variety is the mother of enjoyment, These few words to Ellen Starr we hope will cause contentment. By leaving these few words, Marriage is a desperate thing, To Herman Broderick we wish joy to bring. A good heart is better than all the heads in the world, « 1 29  This advice we leave to Peg Murphy, who causes some heads to whirl. We leave to Grace Mantell this old saying so true. When you are in a man ' s power you must do as he bids you. To Jane Wright we leave this advice with no intent to flout It is better to wear out than to rust out. This advice we leave to Eleanor Atkinson. The true use of speech is not so much to express our wants as to conceal thought, To Whitey Melius these few words should make some atone, The finest edge is made with a blunt whetstone. We leave to Bradley Grimshaw this thought we all know. The march of the human mind is slow. To Catherine O ' Connell. we leave advice indeed. When skating over thin ice one ' s safety is one ' s speed. We leave to Albena Premo this parting knell ' Tis strange what a man may do. And a woman yet think him an angel. Nature has given us two ears but only one mouth. These words to Dot Helie we give with much carouse. To Lawrence Fuller we leave this advice. Which we hope will sink deep. Well timed silence has more eloquence than speech. If Thomas Romeo will ever be in doubt Peace of mind this advice will bring. A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. This suggestion is left to Bud Grave, that modernistic son. On their own merits modest men are dumb, Clever men are good, but they are not the best. We will this phrase to Lee Knight. Although he has his faults we like him none the less ' Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint. To Harriet Knickerbocker this advice should bring no complaint. Our gift to William Brennan required much time and thought, But we feel the following advice will not come to naught. They never taste, who always drink. They always talk, who never think. To Mabel Winch, who is one of our best. There is no wisdom like frankness. « 130  The gift to Julia Barnard goes like thus — Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius. ' ' This thought is left to Jack Pettinger. that ambitious freshman. Precious things are for those that can prize them. Our advice to Ernestine Markham. whom we all admire. It is always good when a man has two irons in the fire. To Herman Reil. who is possessed of much poise. We leave this advice, An empty bag makes the most noise. To Mabel Riley, whose by- word is insect, It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. We will this thought to Fuller Allen, who in speech is so fervent, Respect the faculty that forms thy judgments. Our advice to William Viall is very appealing, The surest way to hit a woman ' s heart, Is to take aim kneeling. To Henry Lubin, who is all good, To be great is to be misunderstood. To all those not mentioned, This advice to give we desire — Not by years but by disposition is wisdom acquired. Thus endeth our will, witnessed in the presence of the undersigned, On the eighth day of June, Year of our Lord, One thousand nine-hundred and thirty-four. Amos Mousaw. « 131  Class Oration NEW EDUCATIONAL METHODS FOR OLD? After timber is cut and sent to the planing mill it is sorted and graded according to types, size, and adaptability to use. It is not difficult to under- stand that a small tree will not make a large board, nor that a pine tree will not make the most satisfactory lumber for railroad ties. On the other hand, how wasteful it would seem to construct barrels of rosewood and mahogany. We need have no fear that a lumberman would send all his timber through the same process with the hope of producing the best of its kind in finished products. Yet this error, where educators have virtually attempted to put children through a standardized and formal mill where they are subjected to the same educative process, has long persisted. It has taken us a long time to realize the fact that all children are not adapted to the same educational treatment and cannot be considered in the mass. Accordingly, at no time in the history of civilization has so much attention been focused on child psychology and the education of the individual as at pres- ent. Our ideas, however, far from being new, were advanced by educational reformers nearly three centuries ago, although it is only in comparatively recent years that we have attempted to practice them to any considerable extent. It was John Locke, the philosopher, who first advanced the theory that edu- cation should adapt itself to the individuality of the child. In his Thoughts Concerning Education h e writes: . . . .In many cases, all that we can do, or should aim at, is to make the best of what Nature has given Pestalozzi, in his educational creed, points out that the individuality of the child must be sacred to the teacher, and the chief aim of elementary instruction is not to furnish the child with knowledge, but to develop and increase the powers of his mind. One of our best known educators and psychologists of today, Dr. John Dewey, reflects these theories in his book, The School and Society. His aim is to make each one of our schools an embryonic community life. To quote Doctor Dewey further, The moment the children act they individualize themselves: they cease to become a mass and become intensely distinctive beings that we are acquainted with out of school, in the home, on the playground, and in the neighborhood. We do not live in a social order made up of robots: we live in a society made up of individuals with different degrees of intelligence, feelings, and abilities. Education is not the mere acquiring of knowledge: it is living. In our schools we must provide not only books for learning, but materials and background for living. Provision for carrying out enterprises must be made: equipment for various forms of occupations and activities secured: materials « 1 32  for the development of art, drama, science, literature, and music provided. Such equipment and materials to be of value need not be elaborate nor expensive. The ingenius teacher can and does invent devices from scanty and common- place materials. The need for proper education early in the life of the child was apparent to Comenius who wrote in The Great Didactic, It is the nature of every- thing that comes into being that while it is tender it is easily bent and formed, but that when it has grown hard, it is not easy to alter. From his ideas as to the organizations of schools we find provisions made for a Mother School for children from infancy to six years of age. In this school he laid the founda- tions for Froebel ' s kindergarten. The school itself was to be a pleasant place where children might live happily by doing the very things which children of this age love to do. Locke echoes the ideas of Comenius for making the chil- dren ' s live as pleasant and agreeable as possible, while Pestalozzi strongly denounces the traditional practices of unpsychological schools which destroy all the results of the power and experience that nature herself brings to life. Discipline too has ceased to be the ordeal it once was. both for the teacher and for the child. By making the pursuit for learning a happy adventure we are gradually eliminating the causes for disciplinary problems. In a beautiful figure of speech from his chapter, Of Sch ool Discipline, Comenius writes. A musician does not strike his lyre a blow with his fist or with a stick, nor does he throw it against the wall because it produces a discordant sound: but setting to work on scientific principles, he tunes it and gets it into order. Just such a skilful and sympathetic treatment is necessary to instill a love of learning into the minds of our pupils, and any other procedure will only convert their idleness into antipathy and their lack of industry into downright stupidity. Locke characteristically rejects mere authority and turns to a constant appeal to reason as a guide. By this he means that all punishments must be the natural consequences of faults. Pestalozzi states that the relation between master and pupil, especially so far as discipline is concerned, must be established and regu- lated by love. In the Montessori schools the principle of freedom is carried out in the theory of discipline, the equipment and program being of such a nature that the child is led to correct himself. In many of our modern schools the social system is so devised that the children themselves meet the disci- plinary problems through various departments of justice made up of representa- tives from their school body. Thus, in our present-day efforts to make the schools a pleasant place in which to live and to create in the child a joy for working, for learning, and for living — a happiness which is, no doubt, the most essential attitude to be derived from education — we are but belatedly putting into practice the opinions and creeds of the educators of years ago. New educational methods for old? I wonder! The modern age in education has not invented or created. It has only awakened to the wisdom of practicing what the ancients perceived. Ruth Hyatt. « 133  Presentation of Class Gift We. the class of 1934, are about to leave our Alma Mater. We would be selfish indeed if we were content only to take pleasures and benefits from our school and give nothing in return. We therefore pledge our support and loyalty to the Plattsburg State Normal School, and, as a symbol of our sincerity and deep appreciation, we wish to present to your keeping. Doctor Ward, these pictures: Peace and Plenty by Inness and The North Country by Metcalf. Perhaps, as you look upon them, you will sometimes think of the class of ' 34. May you treasure this recollection as dearly as we shall always treasure the thought of our happy days at Normal. Serafina Riani. Ivy Oration Our years of training in the Plattsburg State Normal School are about to reach completion. Today we stand on the threshold of graduation, and with it, new experiences. We have anticipated this day. Now that it is here our anticipation is tinged with regret at leaving this fine institution — our Alma Mater — and the many friends and associations which cluster around it. The ivy has long been known as a symbol of permanence. Emblematical of the affection which the class of 1934 will always hold for this place, of the aims we seek to attain in the field of education, and of the high hopes we cherish for the future of our school, we leave this bit of ivy to grow and reach steadily upward.

It ' s covered with dust. But after all, protested George St. John, that part you ' ve touched is the Sahara Desert. Chatter About the Campus We hear that while in New York, Paramount offered Miss Ketchum the position of stand-in for Mae West. Many students have been inquiring as to the type of technique Herman Reil employed which caused the baby to hold her breath. It has been reported that the students painted the great White way a flaming red while in New York. What certain member of the faculty was concerned over a fake police ticket on her car recently? Earl Gokey it seems, is seriously thinking of giving Bing Crosby a run for his money. Dog Psychology correlated with Reading Methods is being offered this semester. The close connection between these two subjects should make the course doubly interesting to the Juniors. Due to Ed Funnell ' s artistic ability a certain young lady has been able to turn in some really creditable ART plates. « 1 36 In answer to the inquiry in the Student Prints of March concerning the girl who admires Ken Backus, we wish to state that there are now two young ladies vieing with each other for his affections. The first period Penmanship class has requested that a certain Junior girl decide whether she is to be a blonde or a brunette. We dislike these indecisive people. Personalty in shades of delft blue and mauve are being sold in our stores. We advise the Juniors to purchase while the supply is yet complete. Mr. Diebolt wishes to state that leading styles in hats are not being shown in New York this season. He advises giving your old hat another trial. Naomi Irwin was asked if she had proposed to any man during leap year. No fear, she said. I ' m not fool enough to propose to any man who would be fool enough to marry me. And it ' s no use proposing to the others. Is Dick flatfooted? Why that boy could wax floors, and never miss a spot. 1 Our Pedagogical Hope Chest 1. Desire Under the Elms Ed Funnell 2.

More fastidious men — Prefer women to be like cigars. They are more expensive — look better and last longer. If the brand is good they do not give them away. Nice men — Treat women like pipes and become more attached to them as they grow older. When the flame is burned out. they still look after them — knock them gently but lovingly and care for them always. Conclusion — Cigarettes and cigars are thrown away, pipes even the best, burn out.
