It came to pass that certain leaders had ventured forth into the world and returned with the glad tidings that there was a gather- ing together of men and women near the Southern borders of the commonwealth, for the purpose of increasing the world’s knowl- edge, which place could he reached by the Great Northern trail. There was a great awakening to the need of greater knowledge among the people, and preparations were made lo send the youth to that place of learning. Those who gave the greatest promise arrived in the reign of King Dunphy, about the year nineteen hundred ten. They, inspired by a common bond of interest, established a firm government and were henceforth known to all the world as the tribe of nineteen fourteen. 1'nder the Silver Grey and Old Rose the tribe prepared to answer the hostilities received at the hands of an older tribe, who were an arrogant and exceedingly domineering people. They persisted in attempting to humble the younger tribes in the dust and make them do homage before them. In this they failed, for the class of nineteen hundred fourteen arose in mighty wrath and proved, that though younger in years, they were superior in strength. .Many were the attempts to wrest from them the honors of victory, but never were they overcome, for many loved warfare. Triumphs were won in many contests in this great institution of learn- ing but from the first all eyes turned to the class of nineteen hundred four- teen. which seemed to give greater promise of winning honors than any other. Even the arrogant and officious people paused to look this way now and then, and wondered at their growing knowledge. As time passed on this band took its place as the oldest and wisest class in this institution, and no longer do they enter into those primitive forms of warfare in which they had before taken such delight. Two of the highest offices in the Military Company are held by this class. Also the Presidents of the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Christian Associations were chosen from this number. The greatest artist this school has ever known comes from this class. He has also gotten out a booklet of school songs and yells of the old N. I., thus doing a particular service to this school. Though some have done nothing to win great fame and glory, yet they will live lives that will radiate good influence wherever they go. The future of the class of Nineteen Hundred Fourteen can only be pre- dicted, but each member has shown himself in every way qualified to go back to the land from which he was sent, and serve it faithfully.

Freshmen, the irrepressible Sophomores, and the ir- resistible Juniors, whose superior ability may be judged by the character of this volume. This history will necessarily be brief, for those who say little, do much. Ever since their entrance into the school, the influence of the present Junior class has been felt in all lines of the school’s activities. The present Sophomore and Freshmen classes look up to tin Juniors as their ideals, perhaps more than to the Seniors. The Juniors have met with a number of difficult problems during their school life, but they have solved them to the satisfaction of all. The class is really exceptional, as a whole. Our class President was the captain of the 1914 basket ball team, and to- gether with others of the class is the nucleus of a strong and successful team, of which the whole school is justly proud. Young men of our class won honor in foot ball. The girls’ bakest ball team, also, is really exceptional. Not only along the line of athletics do we excel. One of the best pianists in the school is a Junior; we also have several who have distinguished them- selves as soloists; and a few talented actors. And among our literary geniuses: Junior girls won the first and second prizes in the declamatory contest last June, and a Junior boy won first prize in the short story contest. The first and second Lieutenants of Company B. are Juniors, and under their inspiring leadership the company has flourished so much that it is the desire of every young man in school to enter Company B. If, in later life, you chance to meet graduates of this school who influence and inspire you to better and higher things, you may be sure that those persons were of the class of 1915 of the State Normal and Industrial School. We hope you may meet many of them. THE SNITCHKK [ Page 26 ] Emmet McGraw M. A. S.

We found that our course had been lengthen- ed and because of that fact we would, be placed in an entirely new class, called the Third Year (Mass. We organized early in the fall with an enrollment of twenty-one students. Our first, step was to elect a president. This caused us very little trouble for there was one among us who had such military bearing and such a soldierly grace that he was unanimously chosen. But the great struggle came when we had to elect, representatives for the student social committee, for they must possess so many qualifications; they must have a persuasive manner, he earnest, efficient workers, and last hut not least they must he well-versed in the laws of argumentation and debate, in order to persuade the faculty that we ought to have all we want, in the way that we want it, and at the time that we want it. We are small in numbers hut great in spirit.. There is no task too hard for us. Our work may at times seem hard but. we agree with Emerson who said, “But in the mud and scum of things, there always, always something sings.” Three boys from the third class were members of the foot hall team and worked with an ardor which won credit for them in the eyes of the school. Two of our boys were also on the basket-ball team. We do not wish our reader to conclude that athletics is our only strong point for there are those among us who are prominent in literary work and promise to be great debaters. Several of our members received monogram pins for good scholarship at t he end of the first term of school. In June, 1916, our class will graduate from this school and leave our places to bo filled by other students. That day will he just an ordinary day for others, but we will have a touch of sadness in our hearts. We may be forgotten, but we shall always remember and be true to our Alma Mater.

Even (luring the embryonic period of their days this class showed great talent and promise of future achieve- ment. This talent has been tenderly encouraged until now in their Sophomore year, the members of this class are indeed making the other classes, as well as the faculty realize their power, and wonder how the school ever managed to grow and prosper as it did before this class was here to lend a helping hand. Members of 1 his class are found in every organization of the school in which brains and talent are required. Although many of its members prefer to win renown through their remarkable records as students some have gone in for athletics with such zeal that they have heaped honor and glory upon their class. Not the least of the excellent qualities possessed by this class is their utter lack of conceit. In fact, they have little time to think of themselves for their time is all employed in winning honors for their Alma Mater.

The class was organized with the full approval of the Faculty and our fellow students, early last fall, with a membership of about fifty. The members have been quietly living up to their motto, and making individual attempts to furnish history, but have appeared in public only once as a class, in what is known as the “Freshmen Stunt.” The theory that but little is expected of the youngest member of the family, like many other theories, is seldom put into practice. Not only do Father and Mother, in the persons of our respected President and Faculty, but also our brothers and sisters, the other classes, expect a great deal from us. Advice by the caldron full is poured upon us by the older members of our school—advice never followed by the givers, however. As a Freshmen class, we may still lx a little new to the established order of school life, but we have never been green enough to buy chapel seats, or tickets to a reception. Nevertheless, we are humble enough to consider our- selves as merely little green shoots in the N. I. garden with hopes of blossom- ing into beautiful flowers under the showers of advice and information poured upon us like rain by the members of tlx faculty and our fellow students, and with the expectation of flourishing in the sunshine of their sweet smiles.

They took an active part in the social events, having the same number of representatives in the student social committee as the other classes did. Many of them became members of the various organizations in the school, such as the glee clubs, literary societies, and band, and acquitted themselves creditably. Especially commendable was the work done by the boys who joined the Mechanics Arts Society. The young men also showed great interest in the military drill, and considering the short length of time they had in which to drill, made a splendid showing in the military maneuvers given at the close of the term. The Faculty and students will look forward with pleasure to the com- ing of the Short Course Students next year.

The members are keenly alive, which fact is impressing itself more and more upon the attention of the school. The society is now eight years old. ('lose organization and a growing spirit of loyalty and friendship has increased its strength from year to year. The Alphians meet each week and find the carefully prepared programs a constant source of interest and inspiration. To take successfully her proper place in a community a woman must have poise of manner and speech. That poise can be attained only by constant practice, and the Alphians heartily agree with a great American who says. “Do the thing and you shall have the power. ’ ’ With a chapter to promote interest among its graduate members, the Alphian Literary Society serves to bind Alumnae more closely to their Alma Mater. Conscious of no mean success in the past and confident of greater achieve- ments in the future, the Alphians are pressing hopefully on. Long live the Alphians!

Gamble Vice President: Charles H. Stahl Secretary: Charles L. Halsted, jr. Treasurer and Historian: Thoralf Koppang Sf.rgeant-at-arms: Arthur Strut . Faculty Advisors: E. W. Ackert and R. F. Palmer The Sigma Pi lota literary society had its beginning during the fall of 1907. The N. I. has always been noted for its disciples of argumentation and the organization of this society served to bring these stellar units into a decided constellation. Albert John- son became its first president. He, with the assistance and able direction of Alexander Knox and F.dward Porter, formulated a constitution, the context of which, however, was so profound that it had of necessity to be condensed and simplified. The society owes its Greek cognomen to the thorough and persistent research work of Edwin Fait and committee, consummating in a review of Greek Literatue. This name, after due deliberation regarding the hundreds of possible combinations of Alphas, Betas, Gamas, etc., was selected primarily for its calisthenic properties regarding the tongue and secondarily, for its sonorous effect upon the auditory tract. Following Albert Johnson in the illustrious line of potentates, we have: Roy Shep- herd, Ed. Dales, “Bill” Barrett, Glen Dill, Clyde McCormick, John Laemmle, Gust Blom- quist, Glen Morrison, Claus Tomren, “Bob” Earnest, John Laemmle, Arthur Lawhead, Ed- win Canfield, “Jimmy” Vandanackcr, “Teddy” Barnes, and “Bill” Gamble, to whose able leadership the society now owes its prosperity. This organization always has the best of supervision; Mr. Palmer and Mr. Ackert serve alternately as critics at the present time. The aim of the society is the cultivation of public speaking, both argumentative and oratorical. Debate is the principal feature of the programs; not only local but international problems being handled with great skill and understanding. Joint programs are held annually with our sister society, the Alphian. It is the wish of the society that it may continue as it has begun, and that we may look back with pride upon the coming generation which will take our place, and feel that our work has not been in vain; but more than ever the truth of the old proverb: “The pen is mightier than the sword!” THE SNITCH ICR [ Pas;e 51 ] THK SNITCH Kit [ I’lRC 52 J History of ttlie Mechanic Arts Society On February 12, 1913, in the Lecture Room of the Mechanic Arts Building, there was organized among the young men of the Industrial Department, a school society which has become one of the strongest in the school and one which has contributed materially to the advancement of the industrial work. The Society of Mechanic Arts” was set on foot with a membership of fifteen energetic young men. With the organization effected, the first set of officers elected, the society immediately came to the front and forced its recognition among the other school organizations, as that society which best represents the character of this particular school. The purposes of this society are to extend research into any subject, but more ex- clusively in the Mechanic Arts. It is the intention of the members of this society to co- operate with all other school organizations to boost for the school, by studying the wants of different communities along industrial lines. It is also the purpose to take up topics of various kinds in connection with the work of the industrial classes and treat them in such a way as to show the application of the principles of construction, a knowledge of which is gained in the class room. The society expects to take on new vigor and to take up new phases of its proposed work upon the return of Mr. Dunphy from Europe, who assured the society in his fare- well address, that he would ever have in mind the commendable results which the young men of this society have attained in the one year’s growth. At the present time the society has a membership of eighty-two. Three men have occupied the office of President, Cleve Malin, Clyde McCormick, and Jay Harm. Feeds are served in the rooms of the society every two weeks, and initiations are not an infre- quent occurence. Debates, discussions, lectures, and stereopticon views are a substantial part of the programs. Many prepared lectures have been delivered by the business and professional men of the community, men of the community have also sought admission to the society, and visitors are always in attendance. Alumni, young men who have graduated from the Mechanic Arts Department have written asking enrollment; it is the desire of the society to have every man who has gone from this department since its establishment to join and keep in touch with us and the work of the school. It is hoped that in time a paper and editorial staff can be established for this society. THE SNITCH Eli [ Page S3 ] THE SNITCH ER [ Page 54 J Y. Wo Co A� officers: Faculty Advisor: Ida L.

It is primarily a religious institution, but embraces a large part of the social life of the school as well. Through the regular Thursday evening meetings the Association purposes to present some thought that will be of benefit to young women. The reception given jointly with the Young Men’s Christian Association at the beginning of each school year and other social functions throughout the year promote acquaintance among the students. The big event of the year, however, is the Annual Student Conference held in August, at Lake Geneva, Wis., to which the Association always plans to send at least one young woman as a delegate. It is often said that “Geneva is of as much value as a year of school.” We feel that our association is succeeding in its general aim of keeping up the moral atmosphere of the school. The work is good, the support is loyal, and the young women of the school are to be congratulated upon the splendid progress they have made. Bible Study Class. THE SNITCHEH I Page 55 ] The Young Men’s Christian Association has a strong organization in this school, with a membership of over fifty. The members make it a point to meet all the new students when they arrive in the fall and help them in find- ing room and hoard. Several College Mixers are held each year at which the new students are made to feel that we have a real interest in them. Sunday Meetings are held at which the ministers and leading business men of the town present the different life callings to the young men. In connec- tion with the Y. W. C. A. a bible study class is conducted under the direction of President Johnson. The chief purpose of the organization is the promotion of good wholesome school life and the building of Christian character among the students. THE SN1TCMEK | Page 56 ) L BAND E. W. Ackkrt, Dihector. The School Band was re-organized after a lapse of two years, during the fall term. It lias had a prosperous season. This fact is due very largely to the presence of three or four of the old men, notably Saunders, Bjornstad and Walker. Welcher with his “umpah” notes proved of invaluable assistance, as did also Potter at cornet. Among the new members the Koppang brothers and Wheeler are most conspicuous. Thompson has made fine progress with the clarinet while Gamble and Rosenthal have more than made good with tin “ ruhaduh” stuff. The outlook for another season is exceptionally good. With the exception of the elder Koppang the present members will all be back next fall, and who knows of the talent that may be uncovered among the new students? Thus we look forward to greater achievements during the season of 1914-1915.

The first year of its existence, it gave the musical comedy, “A Dress Rehearsal,” and at once established its reputation as a first class musical organization. In the spring of 1913, the Schubert Glee Club together with the Orpheus Club gave the operetta “Sylvia” to a full house and added big leaves to the already large musical wreath. In the fall of 1913 the Schubert Glee Club gave the Cantata, “A Day in Roscland.” At the present writing the Schubert Glee Club and the Orpheus Glee Club are in even a larger undertaking than “Sylvia;” the operetta “Bulbul”, and to judge from the charming appearances and graceful steps of the members of the Schubert Glee Club and the soldierly bearing of the members of the Orpheus Glee Club, the performance will be a huge success. Mr. Jacob Schutz, director, has the interest of each member at heart, and has certainly worked patiently and faithfully with them. These two Glee Clubs have provided the music for Commencement week each year, and have thus been of added service to the Normal-Industrial School. On-pbeuiis Glee Club President: Linvill Townsend Vice President: Arthur Lawhead Sec. and Treas.: Charles Crary The Orpheus Glee Club is one of the recognized institutions of the N. I. It is a voluntary organization for the young men of the school, to gain an insight into music and its possibilities. No recitals have been given by this glee club alone, but always in co-operation with the Schubert Glee Club. They are now rehearsing for “Bulbul” which, no doubt, will surpass the operettas given in former years. Under the direction of Jacob Schutz this organization has achieved splendid success.

THE SNITCHER [ rase 63 ] Joseph Boyd Captain This year’s tool hall team composed, as it was, largely ot‘ inexperienced men, played consistent hall at all times, displaying great skill in open style of play, and in forward passing and line plunging from shift and fake formations. The greatest credit is due to Coach Swetland in developing one of the fastest and best teams in years from the limited and inexperienced material at his command. The prospects for a winning team for next year are very encouraging, as Coach Swetland will have eleven letter men back in addition to a large number of new men of ability and some experience.

These quali- ties, coupled with his deadly tackling and excellent judgment in choosing and running off plays, and ability to get the best work out of his men, made him an ideal man for the all-important quarterback position. Joe also did the punting. Coach Swetland’s greatest problem will be to fill Joe’s position next fall, as this is his last year. Sauer and Johnson, the regular half backs were good consistent ground gainers on end runs and line plunges, though the latter was handicapped by lack of weight. Captain-elect Vern Crarv played his first year as full back, having played one year before in the line. Ilis weight, coupled with his speed made him equally good in line plunges and end runs. Brown and Judkins, our sterling ends, possessed in a marked degree the qualities essential to the men in those positions, and their work in breaking up interference caused the opposing teams no small amount of worry. Both displayed splendid judgment in getting under passes and punts. They will be back next year. Townsend at center played a steady, consistent game all the time, and passed effectively. Hitchcock, Nichols and “Chig” Crary filled the tackle positions and played brilliantly on both offense and defense. These three men will be back again next year. McGraw played right guard, and Harm and McMartin alternated at left guard. All three men played their first year on the team, and will be back again next fall. McGraw s work in opening up holes for the backfield, gained many yards for the team. Harm was steady and reliable as was McMartin when in the games. Callan played in a few games and was a hard worker, but lacked experience. We expect great things of “Cully” next season. Much credit is due to the men who got out for the second team; they play- ed one game, defeating Ligerwood High 20 to 6. Among the reliable workers were. Carpenter, McCormick, Dawe, Myers, Cartwright, Colwell, Ashley, Time, Struts, De La Hunt, and Zieman. Carpenter, Struts and Ashley should make a strong bid for positions on the team next season.

Joseph E. S wetland Ripon College Coach THE SNITCHER [ Pa{?e 66 ] During the season of 1913-1914 the basket ball team made one of the best records that has ever been made in the history of the N. I. Out of the long sixteen game schedule they won eleven games, six of them being played on foreign floors. They were by far the lightest team in the conference. Being handicapped by their size and weight, the team had to use much speed, clever passing, and work their signals to perfection. They still maintain the record of the former two years by not losing a game on the home floor. Vandanackcr, Carpenter, and Boyd had a combination for shooting baskets that was hard to stop. Myers and Crary did full justice to their posi- tions at center, while McGraw and Brown made records as guards that cannot be beaten. The team showed progress from the very first, which was largely due to the excellent work of Coach Swetland and the diligent work of Captain Mc- Graw. Emmkt McGraw Captain, Guard Class ’15 The season of 1913-1914 was “Mac’s” second year on the team. He has developed into one of the best guards that ever represented the school. Ilis cleverness at blocking, together with liis ability to handle the ball makes him an ideal man for the guard position. “Mac’s” strength is remarkable and he inspires his men by his heady and aggressive work. “Mac” will be back next year.

Red has a way of wiggling out of a guard’s arms and slipping a basket that always leaves his guard gasping with astonishment. lie has a record of 87 baskets for the season of 1918-1914 which entitles him to the first place as a forward in the Inter-State (conference. Although “Hungry” does not possess a basket shooting record he is just as important a man on the team. “Hungry” is al- ways in the right place to re- ceive a pass from a guard that is covered and has a habit of feeding the ball to “Red” at the right moment, lie is a hard worker and never shirks in practice or a game. lie is one of the best all around athletes in the school. Joseph Boyd Post Graduate Forward Although this was “Battler’s” first year on the team, he certainly did justice to his position on it. He is a good sticker, an excellent passer, and always seems to have the ball. He can always slip down and drop the ball through without leaving his men for any length of time. “Battler” was always out for practice, and for his persistence and diligent work was elected (cap- tain for next season. “Battler” is the best defensive player that ever represented the school. Class op ’15 Guard THE SNITCH UR I Page 68 ) Lloyd E. Myers Class ’14 Center Charles Crary Third Year Center, Guard This was “Bull’s” second year at basket-ball. All through the season he played a cool, “heady” game. His signal work at center could not be surpassed. “Bull” is always in the light from the beginning of the game, and keeps his opponent on the alert. He also has some very baffling passes. In almost every game he hau played against a man who outclassed him in height and weight. The season of 1913-1914 is “Carp’s” first appearance in basket ball. At the first of the season his weight was strongly against him. But his phenome- nal eye for baskets made him a valuable man. He has a score of fifteen baskets in a single game. “Carp” is a hard light- er and never conies out of the game without a goodly number of baskets to his credit, he will be back again next season. “Cliig” is our all around man for the season, lie plays well at any position on the team, although his regular place is at center. His weight and speed give him advantage as guard. “Cliig” was handicapped this year by a badly splintered tibia, but played an ex- cellent game. We expect him to be back for next season.

Although there were but few games played, all of the teams showed great improvement at the finals. Owing to their great experience, the Seniors finally won out; the Juniors had the advantage of height, and played excellently. The Midgets were at a great disadvantage as to height and weight, but made up for this by their speedy playing, and ability to siip around under their larger opponents. As a whole, the season was a very interesting one, and we anticipate still further development of skill in the teams of the next season.

One momentus day as I nearly arrived back to hon.

What new pet have Crawford come into possession of late, i requesh of Callan boy who stand by, with barn-door grins. “O,” he reciprocate, with still wider mouth extension, “That are new baby cowlet which Leroy have annexed in last cencus.

Several ex-footballers famus for tackling grabbed hon, calf and invited her forcibly in Carnegie Haul, and then, O frights! they transfer her downstairs, and leave her there like considerable mean boys to allow her to explore way out if possible.

He descend slightly and obtain rope which calf must have kept for a ribbon, and then he start to exert muscles of atlas strength. “Haul away,” holla Joe Carp, “steady work will win out.” “I realize him,” growell, hon. Cumbullick, as soonly as I eject this animal i shall attend to similar things in shape of stewdents.” But no such feroshus thing occur, and stewdents depart in cheerful mind state peculiar young- sters in vacations. Mr. Editor, have it been your observance to observe that in goneby days and now. requirements is required for all things, such as entrance to frats, ball teams, churches and other modern day frolics?

Why all of this? Governor and Mrs. Hanna with Lieutenant Turner were to arrive on the Milwaukee at 4:10 P. M. Long before the train pulled in the citizens of Kllcndale, the faculty of the Normal Industrial School, and the students, including the military companies lined up along the depot platform and streets leading to the station anxious to welcome the Governor’s party. The hand began to play as the train pulled in, and out stepped the Gover- nor and his party, who were greeted by Mr. Miller, mayor of our city. Our honored guests were then conveyed by means of automobiles to Dakotah Hall, where the governor and Lieutenant Turner reviewed the two military companies A motion picture machine was in operation during all this time. That evening the largest crowd ever assembled in the opera house wit- nessed the pretty comic operetta, “Bulbul,” presented by the Schubert and Orpheus glee clubs of the school under the direction of Mr. Sclmtz of the music department. On Wednesday morning the student body and citizens enjoyed an ad- dress by the Governor in the chapel. His message will long be remembered by those who heard it. At noon the girls of the domestic science department served a luncheon to our esteemed visitors, the board of Trustees and their wives. That evening many citizens assembled at Dacotah Hall where a reception was held in order that the people might meet the Governor and his gracious wife, and become better acquainted with them. Bright and early on the following day the Governor and his staff boarded a north bound train and bade farewell to Ellendale. The whole party seemed to feel that their visit had been a very pleasant one. The Governor appeared very favorably impressed with the general equipment and progress of the school, and was of the opinion that the State Normal and Industrial School played no unimportant part in the education of the young people of North Dakota.

We’re here, O yes! we’re here at last, But O! that we’d not come; And were it not so far today Back home we’d surely run; For O, the treatment we receive, We never once did dream.

In innocence we pay the price; But later we begin To find that all the chapel seats Don’t cost, a blessed thing. If they get a fellow out at night, They have what they call fun; They’ll nearly scare him out of his wits, Then laugh to see him run.

So, as we go about t he school, We’re shunned and mocked and jeered; THE SNITCIIER [ Page 85 ] We’re never praised for anything, Nor ever once get cheered. The hoys have no respect for us; They treat us like we were Some low down hideous creature, Or stupid, useless cur. But why should we be treated thus? We really do not know, Is it because we’re seedy, Or green, or kind of slow? Or is it because we’re Shorthorns, And it’s the custom of the school To make us what they think we are, A bunch of country fools? But if you think that we are such, You really are mistaken ; For don’t you know that people are Just exactly what you make them? Give us a chance and you will find In knowledge we can grow; And that, though we are Shorthorns, There’s something that we know. J. A. H.

The time dragged in a slow and ex- asperating manner, and it was not strange that, when the fourth period was over that nearly all of the good Juniors conveniently forgot that there was a meeting of great importance called at 4:10, and so left in happy haste for home, or, elsewhere, for fussing purposes. But time waits for no Junior. So the noble President called the meeting to order. Junior dues, social committees, and other necessities for discontent were discussed. Then, in a lull of the gossip, the class official noticed that no secretary was present. A look of dignified pleasure stole over his finely chiseled face; “I notice,’’ said he, “that, our secretary is not present. Can anybody explain the cause of his absence?”. “Please, Mister President,” came a voice from a far corner, “there aint no cause, he hasn’t given us the pleasure of his company since the date of his election !” The wrath of the class seemed to arise here. Cries of “can the dub”, and other complimentary phrases arose from all parts of the room. “Hold!” said the president sternly, “this will never do. Will someone please suggest something proper to do in this case?” Here one bright annualite suggested that a new secretary might be elected. Everybody seemed to favor it, so up spoke the president once more “It seems to be the popular opinion that a new secretary would be a beautiful addition to our midst. Will somebody nominate candidates?”• • • A great lull. Then a burst of names of nominees came forth. At this moment, one weak voiced photographer piped forth the startling English:—“I move that the former dissatisfactory secretary be formally impeached so that there will be less liability of a rag chewing contest. Also, our secretary’s chair is so small that 1 fear it would not hold two persons, except in extreme cases. Whereupon, the Hon. President made the query, “ Will someone please second this motion ?” A general chorus of secondation followed. “It has been moved and seconded”, said the President, “that our secretary be impeached. I believe, myself, that this will cause no trouble whatever, as the secretary will, in all probability, never know of the fact, as he is one of the most successful absentees we have in our roster; beside, the chair proposition is nothing to worry about, as N. I. students are always ready to sacrifice comfort for any small deficiency in chairs, brains, or other furniture. “And now,” continued he, “seeing that the secretary is canned and im- peached, and, as someone has nominated somebody for the new secretary, and it is understood that the nominations are closed and that there is no objection to the one nominated, the person nominated is our secretary; here you, come and take the oath of fidelity. “I believe the meeting will now be adjourned.”•• •••••• H.

The functions of the use of what is left over are variables with no apparent limits. A good meal is imaginary (we can give no concrete definition of it). A square meal is an incommensurable quantity; it approaches as its limit justice to the boarder, yet however near its limit it may approach, it can never reach it. Scholium---The minimum demand is always greater than the maximum supply Axioms-----At 12:10 P. M. a straight line is the shortest distance between the boys’ waiting room and the dining room. All permutations and combinations result in hash. A dish of hash may be indefinitely produced. (N. B.) Herbert Spencer says, “Evolution is the integration of mat- ter and concomitant dissipation of motion during which the matter passes from an indefinite, incoherent, heterogenity, and during which the retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation.” We would like to have some one apply this to the evolution of hash. Mr. Palmer in Business English:—“Harry give me the principle parts of eat.” Harry:—“Eat, ate, eaten.” Mr. Palmer:—“Is it regular or irregular?” Harry:—“Its regular with me.” Shorthorn: “Have you any art gum?” Sauer: “No, I never chew.” THE SNITCH EII [ Page 91 ] THE SNITCH ER [ Page 92 J THE SENIORS. The classes come, and the classes go, Clever or stupid, great or small With ambitions high, it. is always so But the class of ’14 is the best of all. They have stood together in work and play No class scraps marred their course serene Mighty in number, a grand array Of minds that are clever and strong and keen. With labor unceasing they’ve delved for the truth. They’ve studied and pondered and make weekly plans, And learned to discourse on the training of youth. All this the senior with ease understands. Their work is not finished, just started they say. Their ambitions lofty shall guide thru the years With no glances backward, on into the fray They bravely press forward, undaunted by fear. WANT SIMPLE ENGLISH. “Yes,” said Miss Brendemuhl, “what we want in literature is direct and simple English.” The English IV class gravely nodded. “Direct and simple,” they echoed. “Those conglomerated effusions of vapid intellects,” Miss Brendemuhl went on, “which posed in lamentable attitudes as the emotional and intellec- tual ingredients of fictional realism fall far short of the obvious requirements of contemporary demands and violate the traditional models of the transcen- dent minds of the Elizabethan era of glorious memory. Plain and simple Eng- lish is the demand of the hour.” Whereupon everybody applauded and the class was dismissed. To tthe Fair Alphians The night was cold, ’twas in the fall When the Alphians met in Dacotah Hall. There were pretty girls fair to see, Members of the Alphian soon to be. The goat was ridden, they tripped to the shed But all was sorrow when Eva said, “Good night to you, my ladies fair For we’ve looked for cream, and it isn’t, there.” So here’s to the Alphians, all ladies true! Who peeved for long are never, For boys may come and freezers go But your cream is gone forever. The Chocolate Soldiers. THE SNITCHER [ Page 94 ] THE DORMITORY HASH. The Dormitory hash, As judged by those who know, ]s the very best that’s ever served No matter where you go; Jt is really so inviting, When you once begin to eat You will never stop until you have Cleaned up the dish complete. The composition of it Is a tiling not yet revealed; For the study of it’s contents Is a wide, extensive field : Some say, “tis made of dogs”; Some say, “tis made of cats”: Some say, “tis made of mice”; t And others say, or rats. But if you will investigate, No doubt you will begin To discover that at different times It involves most everything. The different ways in which ’tis served Is remarkable indeed, And continually increases At a very rapid speed. There’s hash made up in gravy, There’s hash made up in soup Which would make a proper meal For a chicken with the croup; There’s hash made up in form of balls, And some in bread crumbs rolled, Which you may always certain be, Is strictly fresh, not old. There’s hash made up in form of sauce; There’s hash made up in pic, And there’s hash! and hash! and hash! and hash! Until you’d think you’d die! There’s hash for every breakfast, And there’s hash for dinner too; And supper’s never slighted Without hash, it wouldn’t do! So, my dear faithful Fido, And Pussy Cat likewise, If you your lives do value Most pleasure sacrifice, And keep away from the Dorm. Lest you in hash be ground And by some N. I. students At mealtime will be found. J. A. H. THE SNITCHER I Pa e 93 ] THE WINTER TERM PROGRAM The Faculty made the welkin ring, As they fell upon poor Mr. King, And told him he’d done a real mean thing In trying to arrange that program. They argued this, they argued that; They said he was “talking through his hat”. Some rude ones said, “you’re off, that’s flat!” They really were quite awful! But Mr. King ahead did go, He never was so very slow ‘Bout doin’ as he wanted.— He scanned that program o’er and o’er; Of time, tacked on a little more And gave to a few less time to snore When alarm clocks sound their warning. With a mind well pleased, and a heart at ease, Brother King rose to the occasion And explained to the group, They were all in the soup But not through his machination. A few short gasps, and some long, long, sighs, “Sad fate! Sad fate!” The Faculty cries. But. hushed are their groans, opposition dies. There are classes at eight in the morning! Josh: “I ketched this mutt hollering in the halls.” Dunphy : “Aha! Personating the faculty. Two weeks. ” Miss Eaton’s class in Psychology were requested to write up “Message for the Teachers” given by Dr. Curtis. Miss Eaton was puzzled to find the title on one paper “Massage for Teachers” by Dr. Curtis. Si to the Dorm cook: “Wonder what is the matter with Mrs. Duncan to- day. Instead of being cranky, she’s laughing and singing like a bird.” Annie: “It’s my fault. I made a mistake and gave her the birdseed in- stead of breakfast food this A. M.” THE SNITCH Kit [ I’a e 95 ] “OLIN” MAKES A CORNER ON VEAL!! This smaller edition of the bovine genus of quadrupeds was originally discovered in the vicinity of the corner of 6th Ave. and Main Street. Unlike the majority of youthful domesticated animals, this creature of tender months seemed to possess a singular feeling of sympathy toward a particular fellow mortal in human guise, and, if had not been molested by several unfeeling persons, would have, in it’s brotherly mood, accompanied this certain person to the doors of the edifice bearing the cognomen, Carnegie Hall; hut the aforesaid wretches refused to allow our two sympathetic individuals to con- tinue their perambulations in peace, so the poor bovine was ruthlessly torn from his brother’s side and bustled in an ungentlemanly manner to the above named Hall where his honor was sacrificed in a heartless manner, and, to- gether with his rescurer, was made the butt of ridicule; but we do not uphold this! Nay, ’ere the American Book Company issues another history, there shall be a record made, and the “Removal of Veal’’ shall be imprinted in the annals of heroism. Long live Crawford, Coinbellick, and the Calf!! TUB SNITCHBR [ Page 96 ] THE MYSTERY OF ODORS. The mystery of odors offensive was solved, When the President learned that the Prof, had resolved An engine lor hydrogen sulphide to make, And guaranteed fully the thing not to leak. But on an occasion, when the President would That Carnegie Hall should smell lovely and good, He sharpened his jack knife and went in a pace To whittle his way to that Chemistry place. But when he had whittled and carved for a while, A girl who could only make motions and smile, Put a test tube of bromine up under his nose And signaled the question, “What’s that you suppose?” The President opened his mouth to speak, And imagined his throttle was springing a leak. So he tightened a little the valve of his throat, And took out his pencil and tablet and wrote: “A nose that knows what a nose ought to know, Knows hydrogen sulphide. Aint that so?” When the Junior Class decided, to put out the “Snitcher” this year, our first problem to solve was that of securing an editorial office. Owing to the increased attendance, the rooms available in previous years were already occupied. Hunting for a solution we met Prof. Bowers who opened the Hood gates of his kindly sympathy and bade us welcome to his private office for our work. If in reading these pages, you find something of merit, the staff gladly gives a large share of credit to the inspiration received at the moment when homeless they found a home and were made to feel the kindness of his hospi- tality. For his ready assistance, never failing interest and inspiring helpful- ness, we sincerely thank him. THE SNITCHER [ Page 'J7 ] ALUMMI DIRECTORY Class of 1901.
