The time from Christ- mas to New Year's was spent in mei'ry-making and rejoicing. Before day- break on Christmas morning the negroes were astir in the cabins. arraying themselves in the best they had in honor of the occasion. At daybreak they all assembled together and marched up to the mastefs house to greet the members of the family. At the head of the long line of negroes, Old Tom, the autocrat of the whole plantation, and his worthy wife, Grand, mammy, marched in solemn array, feeling no doubt the dignity of the position. They were certainly a pair to behold! Old Tom always enjoyed the distinction of receiving, Malrse Joh'1fs cast off clothes and many speculations did he indulge in regarding tidat last suit of Mame Johnisii and the number of months before it would adorn a peg in his cabin. Marse John was as broad as Old T om was thin and comical was the sight he presented on this Christmas morning arrayed in the latest addition from Marse Johifs wardrobe. The black face of the old man was surmounted by a high silk hat, from under which a fringe of snowy white wool showed itself like a fleecy cloud. As to Grandmammy, she was attired in a black silk dress, which for- merly belonged to qMiss Ann? and a freshly starched white apron. On her head was perched her best black lace cap, for without a lace cap her dress seemed incomplete. Never was she seen without one, and many thought that she even slept in one. When questioned as to the use of this ever-present cap, the reply always was, tilt sartinly do keep the cold outen my head. One of Grandmammyk weaknesses was her enjoyment in posing as an invalid. One glance at her proportions would instantly dispel any anxiety as to the state of her health, but her answer in reply to an inquiry concerning her health would invariably be lTse feeling very porely this mornin. Before reaching Marse Johnishouse the spirits of the young people could no longer be contained and they broke out into shouts of itChristmas gift, Marse John? or itChristmas gift, Miss Ann? and as they gathered about the porch of the house, the members of the family came out to greet them. After the eggnog, according to an immemorial custom, had been passed around, the presents were distributed. Old Tomis face was made to beam by the possession of a Hbrand-new suit ob clothes? not even :Marse John had worn them. Grandmammy seemed to forget her chron- ic aches and pains in the happy possession of five new black lace caps. On the first evening of this week of rejoicing a wedding was to occur. The prospective bridegroom was not held in any great esteem by Old Tom, who called him a ttgood-for-nuffin nigger, and said that if dat stick yonder was not in plain sight ob dat lazy Joe, held hoe de corn wid his eyes shut, and den what would de corn be ? By seven oiclock the negroes 0f the surrounding plantations had ar- rived. During the marriage ceremony, which they regarded more as a lively and happy affair than a solemn one, the bride and groom stood under a tree 3A; WHITE ANDGOLD E5 Vlighted with torches, while their friends were grouped about them. The closing word of the minister was a signal for loud hurrahs, and the couple received the congratulations and advice of their friends. Grandmammy was heard to remark to the young bride, nYou shore hab your hands full wid dat lazy nigger livin, wid you? The rest of the evening,r was spent in dancing out on the bare ground under the lighted trees to the music of a home- made banjo, a fiddle and a couple of flutes and jews harps. Late at night one could still hear the music accompanied by the laughing and talking, and the tap, tap of feet on the ground. The next day the negro women had a quilting party. They assembled in one of the larger cabins and started to work, each sitting before a large frame on which. the quilt was fastened. T heir working did not seem to in- terfere with their talking, as they kept up a steady stream of conversation. Towards evening they rolled up their quilt and made preparations for the big feast. Soon the men began to arrive. Accompanied by ttOld Tom was Grandmammy, who had sent word during the earlier part of the day that she was iifeeling too poorly to come to de quiltini party. She seemed, how- ever, to have suddenly imnroved when the feasting time came around. Such merry making as went on at the feast, and such good things they had to eat! After the feast came another dance in the open air until the early hours of the morning. The next evening a coon hunt was on. At dark the negro men started out, each armed with a heavy stick and a torch. A pack of dogs went with them. It certainly was exciting to crash through the cane-brakes, clamber over fences and dodge trees in endeavoring to keep in sight of the dogs that were on the scent of a coon. And the feeling of satisfaction when the dogs stopped under a tree and there among the branches sat a poor, trem- bling coon! It was soon caught and killed and the fun went on. More coons were caught and finally the men returned home tired, but happy in the pos- session of their trophies and in the thoughts of the feast on the marrow. And so the Christmas week goes on, full of pleasure and freedom for the simple-minded negro, and when New Year passes by they again take up their life of labor, happy in the memory of past pleasures and of those that are to come again in another years time. Old Tom again takes up the dignity of chief councillor on all vital questions arising on the plantation, from the growing of nde cotton and de cornii down to the treatment of the measles when it strikes the chi'lluns. -P.

The meting was held entirely Over the Home phone lines and the Stom- ach was chairman. He had to inform the Kidneys, Pancreas, and, other members of the union, of the development of affairs. The first message he sent was at the dinner hour, on Thanksgiving, and was as follows: ttRe- ceived: One piece of turkey, very improperly chewed? Then followed: Received: another allotment, consisting of a piece of turkey and some mashed potatoes, all in poor condition? TlMore turkey and very gummy stuffing coated with some fairly accept-a able gravy? The next message ran: tlA large quantity of pickles, nearly whole, mix- ed with about half a gallon of strong coffee. just arrived? The confederates tried to call up the Stomach but as is usual with lphones, the line was busy. The Stomach had down the receiver and was listening to the malfs conversation with his hostess. However, he was soon at his post again and sent the following hurried message: ilEnormous shipments of vegetables, bread and sweetmeats just re- ceived. My storage capacity is getting very limited. ltAbout sixteen ounces of pumpkin pie has arrived? and before he could hang up the receiver he found it necessary to add. Tlalso a large amount of mince pie? Thenhe said in a grand, tragic voice, lTi worse comes to worst, will you, like loyal and liberty-loviiig workingmeii. stand by the Union or will you be mean, contemp-tible Scabs? They replied dramatically, h Thank you. my bretheren, I lmew I could depend on you? Soon the Stomach sent another message: TiMore pumpkin pie has are rived, also a quantity of extremely indigestible fruit cake-a-n-de-some Chocolate and some cocoanut cake-imd-a half bushel of nuts.

WHITEANDGOLD 7 When I Go to Normal The morning is like an evil dreamenay, it is one. The night before I virtuously resolve to rise very early, so that there will be no hurry in ltthe wee, smai hours? I awake promptly and then cuddle down and go to sleep again, llbecause I have so much time? Those moments are blissful, but unprofitable. There is a horrified exclamation from mother. and I am snatched from my delicious slumbers by the unfeeling announcement that it is 6:55. Then the evil dream commences. Some poetically in- clined person- has written of the llFableland of Dreams? but when anyone has attempted to catch the seven-forty car in a one-eighth-awake condition, he knows that the true name is the KlStableland of Dreams? and that it is originated by and maintained solely for the benefit of nightmares. In my frantic haste. I step upon a shoe-lace that is flopping around un- tied, and break it in a vital spot. One is found somewhere, anywhere, and then I tug at the other to be sure it is tied firmly, and it breaks with 3 vi- cious snap. The minor catastrophes during the hurried dressingr and the gobbled breakfast, I will pass over, and come to the frantic scramble to col- lect the varied contents of the wicker basket that is the coat of arms of ev- ery Normal girl. My pencil is broken. my pen is diffusing ink upon the library book and my handkerchief; a glass of fruit in my lunch basket upsets and trickles sticky sweetness over the universe, and my car book and one tennis slipper have departed for parts unknown. Finally I start on the gaIIOp, still struggling with my hat pins. As I rush out of the door, I slam it to, the spring lock catches, and from my parched throat comes a yelp of horror. I have forgotten my library book! Frantically I summon mother and she informs me that she put the book in my satchel and casually adds that I Hhad better hurry. y By this time I am so pressed for time that I dare not go around by the gate, and so I scramble over the six-foot back fence tdevoutly hoping that no eye will behold the fearful deedl, and start for the car. It is eight blocks, and I have just five minutes. The last block is a steep hill to be climbed. 'Ti; fortunate I can run. I now do so. I catch my car. It waits patiently for me to run half a block. It always does. The conductor grins. He always does. Then there is a desperate flurry as I dive into the depths of the ubi- quitous basket after my elusive car book. Finally, my car caught and my fare safely paid, I lean back in the seat, exhausted, but with a clear conscience, a tranquil mind, and no responsibility in regard to the rest of the journey. And tomorrow morning I'll do it all over again.e,o6. IlllIIllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllll. Sweet little Emily Rose Was tired and about to repose.

As most great men have hob- bies, so also did Sinkins. His special amusement when waiting for an in- spiration, was to saunter off into the forest, a pair of large forceps in one hand and a jar in the other. He used the forceps to catch stray beetles and spiders, which he put into his bottle. Afterwards they were transferred to shelves at home, much to the horror of his timid wife. One afternoon on New Yearls Eve, as they were sitting: by the fire, Mrs. Sinkins, a rather eccentric personage, suddenly conceived the idea that she wished to go skating the next day, so she dispatched her faithful husband to the town five miles away for some skates, bidding him beware of goblins, which frequented the woods on that particular night of the year. Now Sinkins, though a novelist, was practical to a fault and-be it said to his shame-declared that he did not believe in such ridiculous things as fairies or goblins, and stated, moreover, that if he should happen to see one, it would soon be bottled along With the rest of his curiosities. Sinkins there- fore, left home with a light heart, reached the town, procured the skates, and started homeward through the woods as the sun set behind a neighboring hill. He soon came across a peculiar kind of iireily and in his eagerness to follow it: and add it to the rest of his specimens, he lost the skates and the way home also. After walking for hours and finding himself in the place whence he had started, he decided to sit down and wait as patiently as he could for morning to appear. His exertions had made him tired, and notwithstanding the fact that he was tired, cold, and hungry. he soon fell asleep. All at once a hand was laid on his shoulder and he was roughly pulled to his feet. Standing about him, he SIEIW imps, big, little, fat, lean, dancing and performing all kind of antics. The imp by whom he had been so unceremoniously awaikened seemed, both by his manner and dreSs, to be the leader of the band. Now before this host of uncanny beings, in pointed shoes and caps, and with hideously grinningr countenances, Sinkins was, to say the least, fright- ened; and when the king began talking, he, practical Sinkins, trembled in his shoes. The goblins, angry at having been disturbed in their games by a mor- ' tal, demanded in a hundred different squeaks, that he should be made to pay the penalty for his intrusion. At this the king informed him that on the last night of the year the woods were given up to the goblins, and that any mortal infringing on their privacy was condemned for one year to imprisonment in their underground home. When the proceedings had advanced as far as this Sinkins was dropped into a crack in the earth and fell until he reached a cave, lighted by fire Hies. Here he was taken in charge by a few imps, who, being too feeble and old to join in the sports, had been left on guard. WHITEANDGOLD 9 It would take volumes to tell of all the strange experiences of Sinkins during the year of his confinement with the goblins, of their strange cere- monies, their work, and their play. One day when lying down in the cave he suddenly felt cold, and started up only to find that he had been lying down before his own hearth, and that his wife, in order to waken him, had thrown a bucket of cold water in his face and was now standing near the door with the lamp in her hand says ing in a loud tone of voice hEleven oiclock, eleven oiclockf, as she impatiently waited for him to become aufhciently awake to go to bed. On inquiring if she had her skates which he lost in the wood, she gave him a sound scolding for inferring that she ever possessed such articles when he knew how she de- spised them. A In spite of the wifeis assertion that his skates and goblins were dreams, that his falling through the earth was in reality his falling off the sofa, that the fire flies were but the stars he saw when his head struck the hoor, Sinkins declares up and down that his experiences on that memorable night were too real to be mere dreamse-A.

San Diego, California - . - - - December, 1905 THE PAPER, The White and Gold, has been resurrected! Was it a miracle? No, it was the result of necessity. When our student body woke up some eight or ten weeks ago, figuratively speaking, it went through the characteristic reactions of a waking man. It pinched itself, it rubbed its eyes, it shook itself out of the heavy stupor that has benumbed it during the past years, it arose and went to work. One of the first things it did was to look up the White and Gold, to familiarize itself with current events. But, 10! there was no W hite and Gold. Now however, thanks to the awakening we have experienced,our Rip Van. Winkle sleep is over, a new era has opened up before us. All the machinery is in splendid working order and it rests with us to keep it so. It is up to the student body from now on to shake off any symptoms of the ancient lethargy as soon as: they appear in order that the 01d drowsiness may never overtake us again. SCHOOL' SPIRIT. Some weeks ago a Vial labelled iiScho-ol Spirit Bacteria, was dropped by a careless hand somewhere in the Normal building and the air was alive with it. Once at liberty to move, the active little germ spread rapidly from the Biology laboratory in the west wing to the Physics laboratory in the east wing. There was no stopping or repressing it. With- in a few days the whole school had been inoculated with the lively infection. It differs from the yellow fever bacteria in that frost has no effect upon it. It attacks far more people than does the deadly typhoid fever germ. In short, it seems impossible to destroy it. During the football season it was in evi- dence everywhere, in the street cars, in the school corridors, at home and XVHITEANDGOLD n abroad. Football rallies were the pastime 0f the hour, and enthusiastic songs and yells were handed in by the dozen. But this epidemic is on the wane and the active little microbe has turned its energies toward the school paper. As an evidence of this, the editor has received nearly twice as much copy as can be used in this edition of the paper. Certainly this is proof positive of the severity of the new attack and the popularity of the White and Gold. What, then, is this little microbe? What is the function of this spirit? Simply this, it means life and action. It breeds affection and tender respect for the school of one's choice. There can be no earnest, whole-souled, successful school work without it. FOOT-BALL. Foot-ball has reached a crisis in its history. For more than a decade it has been held supreme as king of all athletics. Baseball is our national game and it is a. popular sport but nine men out of ten will forsake it for a football contest. It is a wonderful game in many res spects. There is absolutely no education that can compare with it, when it comes to the study of alertness; the Will to do, and the ability to know what to do, in case of an emergency. A good football player cannot be surprised, and he learns the secret of fortitude as only the 01d Spartan once knew it. But the other side of the football question is a grave one. Year by year the rules of the game have been changed. It is losing its sportsmanlike nature and becoming more and more brutal until today it is said that it claims far more victims than does prize fighting! And we say of the latter, It is bar- barous, inhuman, disgusting? But football has to answer for a still more grievous fault. It develops special ization to a dangerous point. Too often the football hero is a great muscular giant, devoting six months of the year to the game, the other six to anything that comes up. As played at present. the game is restricted to a limited number of men. The expenditure of money, time and effort is disproportionate to the few who receive any phys- ical benefit. The commercial side of the question is becoming a serious one. Thous- ands of dollars are spent yearly in salaries to coaches and the buying of all kinds of equipment and in gambling on results. As a consequence the admis- sion to the games is so high that many people are not able to afford it. In the majority of schools: and colleges its moral influence is positively bad. Get the ball by fair means or foul, is the doctrine, and by all means ring in a profes sional or two if you can do so without being caught. But a change is about to be effected. The rules of the game will be changed or football will be abolished from our schools. Several prominent cities have prohibited the game from being played within their limits. Even our strenuous President is opposed to it,as it is now played. The President of New York State University has called for a national council of college preSI- dents to model a new system for playing the game. We sincerely hope that this may be accomplished. It would surely be unfortunate to abolish uncon- ditionally such a noble game as football from the list of our athletic sports. IIIIIIlIIIIIIlIIIlIIIlIIIIIIII. WANTED. Somebody to sign a contract to clean the lockers. Wanted: A new version oftlThe Old Oaken Bucket? ; 12 WHITEANDGOLD inent factor in the local activities. Owing to the lack of ma- terial and grounds we had very few athletic activities during the year 1904-5. Basket ball was the only one worth mentioning. The first basketball league was then formed by the Y. M. C. A., Commercial College, Russ and Normal. Fair interest and enthusiasm was shown although the season was short. We hope to make the athletic events of 1905-6 more numerous and interesting than those of last year. Among these will be found foot- ball, basket-ball, hand-ball, base-ball, captain-ball, tennis and track work taking prominent places. This year we have an athletic field which, when linished, will be one of the best in the State. This field is 400 X 400 feet, located just north of the Normal building with the car line running along the east side. It is as level as a table. These facts make it a most desirable field on which to hold athletic meets. The field will be equipped for the following outdoor sports:--foot ball, base ball, basket ball, hand ball, tether ball, tennis and track. At the present time we have one basket ball and two tennis courts and foot ball gridiron completed. When the graders left the field it was covered with hard lumps and rocks. The boys objected to playing on a field in such condition so the girls, all unknown to them, decided to have a stone throwing pic- nic, if throwng stones may be called a pic-nic. On Friday evening before the first game with Y. M. C. A. they turned out and in a com- paratively short space of time Cleared the field. After stone throwing had proceeded for a time the girls continued their pic-nic by giving the boys a lunch. During the time the lunch was in progress several speeches were made by members of the faculty and team. The girls, of course, had something to say and said it. The affair ended with three rousing cheers for the girls. So far this year foot ball has claimed all the attention of the boys and as there were so few of them we experienced great diiTiculty in getting material for a team. The iirst line up of the season was as followsz-C., Lusk; l. g., Warriner; r. g., Clark; 1. t. Butler tcaptj; g THLETICS have been revived again at Norm al and form a prom- WHITEANDGOLD 13 r. t., Sharp; 1. e., Lane; r. e., Tarwater; 1. h., Duffy; r. h., C. Smith; q. b., O. Smith; f. b., Gurwell. BefOre we had played any schedule game our quarter-back, Smith, found that he could not play so the team had to be rearranged 1n the following manner. -c., Barker; 1. g., Lusk; r. g., Sharp; 1. t., Butler tcapt l; r.t.Clark;1.e.,La11e and Watkiris; r. e., Tarwater; 1. hi, Duffy and Wight; r. h., C. Smith; q. b., Bigham and f.b.,Gi1rwell. Mr. West acted as manager after Mr. Bigham was put on the team. Another dihiculty was the inexperience of the men. Only three had ever participated in a game before this year. Another dithculty was the lack of a second team to buck up against and all the defensive work was necessarily theoretical and not the real thing. Our method of defensive work was obtained through the coach using explanatory diagrams on the black board. By means of these the squad learned how to meet and stop offensive play. After school the boys would don their suits and proceed to carry out these methods as far as was possible. The showing made was far more satisfactory than was at hrst expected. Situated as we are in the extreme southern part of California it was difficult for us to get games with any northern teams and although Escondido, Hollywood and Redlands negotiated for games, they could not be arranged so that, as a result, only four contests were had dur- ing the season. The first of these was a practice game with the Russ eleven, played on the Russ campns, Sept. 30. This served to show us our weak points and demonstrated the need of hard work if we were to make a satisfactory showing in foot ball. The second contest was a match game with the Y. M. C. A. team on Normal campus Oct. 21. In this game the main thing noticed was the development of defensive work. The offensive work, through fumblirrg, was weak, due to lack of practice in scrimmage. The score 5-0 in Y. M. C. A.,s favor was made in the first half. The third game played was on Normal campus with Y. M. C. A. on Nov. II. In this game the Y. M. C. A. greatly outplayed the Nor- mal in the first half but owing to an improvement in Normalls defen- sive play they were prevented from scoring although they were within the ten yard line once. The Normals in the second half outplayed the Y. M. C. A., but on account of fumbles were not able to score. The final score was 0-0. The game with the Russ on Thanksgiving day was the principal game of the season and both teams worked hard for this event. This game was played on Russ campus. The two teams were evenly matched. The game was won by Russ kicking a goal. The laurels in the first half were about even, while in the second half the Normals kept the ball in Russ territory all but three minutes of play and they 14 WHITEANDGOLD approached within the ten yard lihe twice. This half was Normalsl but they failed to score. The score at the end of the game was Russ 6 Normal 5. In this game Normalsl superiority was due to their perfect team work and not to individual effort. This was due first of all to our coach who worked hard the whole season and second, to the active work of Captain Butler; third, the good field generalship of quarter- back Bigham. During the season a number of rallies were held in which songs were sung and yells were yelled. The X. Y. 25 presented the team with ten dollars to go towards getting school sweaters and on Friday evening Dec. 1, gave the boys a banquet at the Normal. So far fall Athletics have been promising and during the ensuing year further activities will be pursued. Exchang'ef It is customary in school periodicals for a page to be devoted to gentle, friendly criticism, expressing the editor's opinions concerning the contents- of similar papers of other institutions. A department of the White and Gold has been established for this purpose but due to the fact that the petition of. the student body for the White and Gold has so recently been sanctioned by the faculty, it has been impossible tosecure in time for this issue, any periodi- cals from other schools or colleges; therefore our student friends will get off easily this time, onlv to catch it all the harder in our next number. llEvolution, quoth the monkey, llMakes all mankind our kin; Therels no chalnce about it; iTails we lose and heads we winfl-Ex.

WHITEANDGOLD :5 The usual Freshman reception was held in the early part of the term and was a decided and successful innovation. The first part of the evening s program took the form of a minsti'el show. It was a clever little affair, the songs being catchy and most of the jokes very keen, although there were one or two in which the points were rather blunt. The Rhine Golds gave a jolly little dance at the University Club House, on November 24th, which proved that the crew knows how to do things. The room was trimmed in holly and presehted a very genial air. The Rhine Golds are good hostesses and they tried their best to make all enjoy them- selves, and by the general good time they seemed to have, succeeded. One olf the most highly appreciated events of the season was the Hallow- eien Dance given by the boys; of the N ormal School on November 3d. A dance of the boys, creation being an entirely new feature of the school, much speculating was done on the part of the girls before the dance. This changed to genuine admiration, however, on the evening itself. The music was of the kind that makes one want more, the refreshments had the same quality, the general management: was perfect, and the finest thing of all was the fact that on this memorable evening HOur Boys made their debut. The White Ducks took advantage of the moon and entertained some of the boys on Nofth Island on the evening of November 11th. Before landing a concert was given 011 the water for the benefit of the U; S; S. Princeton The ship,s crew responded heartily and assisted in the rest of the program. Supper was partaken of on the beach, after which the boys fur-- nished the entertainment. The B. N. Bis intend to have a ttbig time before school closes. in honor of Mr. Charles E. Butler of thesenior class. Not being a member at this society at present, he will be initiated at this time as an honorary mem- ber. Mr. Newton Layne will also share the same fate. Although all of a re-i porterls energy has been used in trying to ttpumlp a B. N. B. boy, nothing can be learned about this; mysterious organization except that Sheriff Duffy is ttchief cook and bottle washexm and rules with a mighty hand. Miss Genevieve Northrup entertained the ttPristis't crew early this 16 WHITEANDGOLD term. The girls all said it was the finest crew ltdo'l that has been given this term. The entire house was decorated with Pristis pennants. Progressive games were played on the glass porch, which was decorated with Chinese lanterns and pennants. It was very exciting at the end of the evening when three of the young ladies had to play for the best prize. Miss Cosgrove was the lucky maiden and carried home a beautiful etching. Miss Reeves won the consolation prize. Light refreshments were served and everybody went home happy with a souvenir. The Second Normal football team, composed principally of boys of the eighth and ninth grades, played three games during this season. In the nrst gamewith the University Heights school team, our boys won by a score of II to 0. The Sherman Heights team- won the second game by live points. They were well drilled and heavier than our team. Score 3+0. The last game was played with a team from the United Presbyterian Sunday School, and resulted in a tie, 5-5. Otto Jeager, the mascot of the first team, did good work as quarter; Hilton Johnson of the eighth grade, who was captain, play- ed full back. He has the making of a. good football man in him, and we hope to have him in our ninth grade team next year. In honor of our football team and coach a banquet was given by the X Y Z is on December, which was declared by all to be the social event of the term. The guests assembled in the lower corridor and when all was ready they were ushered into the dining room. The tables were arranged in the shape of a large N and were trimmed with yellow Chrysanthemums and loaded with things of a more substantial nature. Above the tables and on the wall were hung Normal pennants and banners in great profusion. The place cards were in the shape of footballs and made appropriate souvenirs. The program was unique and appropriate to the occasion. Mr. Bliss illustrated the fact that a banquet could be umpired as well as a football game. Mr. Crandall. as the kickoff, spoke highly of the team and showed that much credit was due them for the work done this season. Capt. BUE- ler, as foul tackler, responded to llOur Coachli in a way that made everyone proud that we have a man like Mr. Crandall to coach our team. Miss Spears, as chief rooter, told of the deep feeling ltour girls have for ltour boys? Mr. Orrin Smith as off sideliner, spoke about llOur Girlsli in a very touching manner and suggested to the boys at new line along which to push their energy. Mr. West represented in ,$ $ $, discoursed on Tickets Please! He demonstrated that there was nothing mysterious at all in the title of X Y Z. Miss Gussie Stephens, as dead header, responded to the ttEditorial We. She talked of the ideals of the new school periodical the llVVhite and Gold. Mr. Thompson as Bleacher God, gave the last toast of the evening. After this speech it was decided that football was a good thing.

WHITEANDGOLD 17 The Forum To the original Forum of Rome were taken all weighty matters that needed to be decided, and from its classic rostra were delivered those great orations that settled the mighty questions of that olden time. Like its name- sake, our Forum discusses and makes decisions upon many important mat- ters pertaining to the San Diego Normal School and the rest of the world. The question of XVomaIYS Suffrage has been debated and it has been decided that woman should not have the right to vote. It has also been agreed that there are not good and sufhcient reasons why the school spirit of this Normal School is inferior to that of the average secondary school, that expeditions in search of the north pole are not profitable. Altho this organization will celebrate its first birthdav this Christmas season, it can tell of marvellous g1'0wth in numbers and power. About this time just one year ago, some of our boys decided to create a fount of knowl- ' edge from which might flow streams of eloquence, wisdom and entertain.- ment. The first subject they undertook to discuss was llGirlsf, and after much thought and consideration they decided to allow them eo become members in this organization. After the girls had taken advantage of this opmrtunity it was decided to have a constitution, and a committee immediately set about this important task. After using up many brain cells and many sheets of fool's cap paper, a constitution was drawn up and adopted. This has stood the test of nearly three hundred and sixty-five davs and we trust it will serve for as many more years. At hrst a small though loyal band upheld the weight of this mighty constitution without aid, but soon there were dis- covered persons of rare ability and talent in the school who gladly joined them. N ow our Forum is supported by nearly half a hundred of Normal's Best, who feel proud that they can help in the work and share its advantag- es. The first president of the society was Mr. lValter Bigham and at the close of his term of office the gavel was put into the hands of Mr. Charles Butler. The officers at present are as follows: President, Ethel L. Crosby: vice-presitlent, Clayton lVight; Sec. alndTi'eas Olive Ault. Just now a few ltboom vibrations are passing over the society. A fresh spirit of interest and energy seems to have entered into the work and we hope it will stay with us and give the Forum much success in the coming,r year. On October 27th four members of the faculty indulged in a de- bate in the assembly room for the edification and amusement of the stu- dents. It was greatly appreciated by the members of the Forum. The sub- ject was: Resolved that literature has had more influence for good than the rest of the fine arts. Affirmativeellir. Thompson, Miss Pratt: negative Mr. Bliss, Miss Billings. On a petition being sent to the faculty, an arrangement was made by which students taking active part in the Forum might be given credit in the school for the work done in the society. The persons receiving this credit will be excused from some part of the regular work in the English and His- tory departments. x8 WHITEANDGOLD Training School Testimonials Cures A11 Ailments-Trv It-Time Refunded if Not Satisfied a What Some People Say About It-Doxft Abandon Hope!

I have tried the history department of the Training School for thirty years and find it very efficient. It is guaranteed to cure all attacks of gig- gling and the slightest inclination toward mental inactivity, lack of concen- tration or sleepng in class. I conscientiously recommend a course in his- tory for anyone suffering under the delusion that he hates history and canlt learn it. I really used to be given to wearing often a happy smile. Since then I have learned the whole history of civilization, and that it is the core of all knowledge, and have unever smiled again. Clara Woods Although carrying full group VIII and part of group VII, I found myself looking for something to do. I was always idle. I happened to hear of the literature conference. My troubles ceased. I had read very little, but under the careful direction of the supervisor, I read and took notes on every book in the library. Ilve read every book written in the English language and have it abstracted or have a lesson plan for teaching it. Any person troubled with ennui would do well to take this treatment for about ten weeks-longer if possible. Alberta journeay I have had a thorough course with Professor Crandall and can consci- entiously recommend it as a sure cure for laziness and any wanderings of the brain.

With the course comes the enjoyment of entertaining one,s friends with the two hours practice each night, the taking of Theory Pills: in large closes any time of the day, and the great benefit to be derived from warbling. Try it and see. Alice Ball I want my fellow sufferers to know of my miraculous cure. No amount of money could make me suffer again as I did from incoherent reci- tations. Let me implore any one so troubled, to take at least ten weeks' course in the Training School Grammar department. Teaching grammar is a remedy for all unconventionality and absorbs the attention of the teacher from morn till night. It sweetens the temper, clears the complex- ion, whitens the teeth, curls the hair, and is an all around remedy for all ills. I advise the teaching of grammar to all who are addicted to frequent out- bursts of feeling. After fifteen weeks' trial the worst case of disinterested- ness; guaranteed to be cured.

The Pristis girls and friends had a delightful barge party December 9. The party was chaperoned by Miss Tanner and Mr. Crandall. The basket ball grounds are now in shape.

And if in the fu- ture Our Teamli should have the chance to play an outside team, we feel sure our opponents will Hcome up against it? On Thursday morning, November 23, the students and faculty were entertained by Mr. Franks orchestra of the Isis theatre. The music was excellent and the students showed their appreciation by the hearty applause which they gave the llband men. 'When the orchestra started up liThe Son of a Gambolierf, one might judge from tlie sly winks that went around the profs it brought back reminiscences of their college days.

The last Thursday in every month the students and faculty have the pleasure of listening to Rev. Hinsonls lectures. They are looked forward to with more interest by the students than any other event of the week. Every one has enioyed to the utmost his recent talks on Tennyson. It is hoped by every student that Mr. Hinson will be able to continue his lectures the coming semester. Our football rallies this term were of the most inspiring kind. llThe Jolly Studentll stimulated the boys to do their very best. School spirit is at its height. There is no reason why it should die just because the foot- ball season is over. The coming basket ball games and tennis tournaments will need just as much school spirit to back them as did the football. The Geography Class, under the direction of Mr. Skilling, spent Sat- urday, Nov. 25th, at La Jolla. The forenoon was passed in exploring the old sea beaches. Lunch was served on the rocks. The afternoon was de- voted to examining the new sea beaches and studying specimens, geologi- cal and human. Interest was added to the work by a kodak. Some snap- 22 'WHITEANDGOLD shots included those of Miss Cosgrove and IMiss Tohnson. While at the Jolly City the class paid a Visit to Mrs. Graham, formerly our beloved music teacher. While Mr. Skilling and Mrs. Graham indulged in a lengthy discussion as to weights and measures, the class inspected the little Cecelia. In connection with the study of the Old Missions, the American Histo- ry class and their friends lthiked out to the ruins of our own mission. Due ring the course of the tramp Mr. Bliss itcalled a halt'i several times, and Squatting on the ground in Indian fashion, the party was entertained by va- rious Indian myths prepared by members of the class. The trip through the mission and the Indian School was wonderfully entertaining and instruct- ive. One of the jolliest functions of the term was a barge party given by the Dog Watch crew a short time ago. They rowed over to North Is- land, where they enjoyed luncheon and returning early enjoyed a plunge at Los Banos. Besides the regular members of the crew, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Crandall, Mr. Bradley, Paulina Black, and Cora Tracy were present. ' The Glaucus crew gave an informal luncheon in the Science laboratory several weeks ago. A dainty spread was served amid artistic decorations. Mr. Crandall, Mr. Bliss and Mr. Thompson were the guests of honor. The Senior class will probably do something startling in the way of a farewell reception this year.
