Perhaps “she” thought the man behind the gun intended to shoot her. “Who can tell what a baby thinks?” Who did you say she was? Mrs. Owsley! Well, I’ll be hanged! Well, I'll be blessed if this isn’t cute! Well, you don’t say so? Really! He looks artistic to say the least. And such a wandering expression! Well, who is it anyway? Oh, don’t you know? Professor Teddy Shoudy of the art department. Well, well, well!!! Well, see the little lady in the corner. Can you guess who she is? Indeed, she looks very much frightened. She looks as if she had been scared into it. But say, well, who is it anyway? Oh, don’t you know Agnes Scott? Well, bless my soul! Who would have thought it? How many years did you say? She doesn’t look it. Looks as if she were ready to ascend. Who did you say she was? What? Nina Nash! Well, who would have guessed it? Well, I should say so. “Cute,” did you say? Why, of course she’s alive? Quite a favorite. Perhaps you have an idea. Why, Becky Lawrence. Well of all things under the sun’s rays, if this doesn’t beat all. Looks as if he were goin’ fishing. Or maybe his mother spanked him. Well, who is he anyway? Why, our beloved Ray Mosher. Really!!! Pretty calm, straight headed little woman. Takes things rather seriously. Oh, certainly she has traveled. Where? Oh, that doesn’t matter much! Well, say, Lucy Carson, but you look cute. Splendid head. See if your “kid” has a head like this. “Growed” up to be a man, and became President of Montana State Normal College. Isn’t it wonderful what a difference just a few years make. If this doesn’t cap the climax! Just down from his mother’s lap. Isn’t he a “dumpling”! Doesn’t he look a leader every inch of him. We have the pleasure of introducing you to Walter Scott. And now we come to a big proposition. Feels his strength pretty well for so young a lad. Looks as if he would grow into a big man on both sides. Fond of ties. too. Who is he? Why Bobby Clark. Don’t you know him ? Who would have thought it? Is it a boy or a girl? That’s up to you to guess. It looks to me like our class professor. Well, what a change. Onto the next, so timid and shy. If you point your finger at him, he will cry. lie looks like mamma’s boy. Beautiful eyes and golden ringlets. Alas! where have they gone. Ask Frankie Carver. How many years did you say? Some one turned her around, eh? She looks musical to say the least. And such a wandering expression. Well, honey, who do you think I am? My name is Edith I latch. Interested in nature, well, I guess. She must have given mother lots of trouble. Can’t you see it in her face? Come and trip it as you go, Julia Clements, on your light fantastic toe. Well, here we arc at little Lucy. See her walk on her little tootsies. Her face shows signs of a great musician. 1 wonder if it will ever come true. Lucy Herrick, don’t you know? Who is this little “shrimp,” with all the hair? Shy and bashful, I declare. Why of course he’s alive. He hasn’t any holes in his stockings. Why, that’s funny. What did you say his name was? Grant Finch. Oh yes, 1 remember him. Well, what happened to this little darling? She looks like she’s ready to cry. I wonder if a pin stuck her. Why, Lilian, do not cry. Going bye-bye with mother, quite a lively lady, so people say. Perhaps you have already met our well known professor of languages, Laura Kress. Would you know her? THE CHINOOK a in i 0 r T HE C HIN O OK MARY R.

THE MODEL SENIOR Never want to have vacation When we don’t know why; Never break a regulation, Never tell a lie. Always love to go to classes, Always study hard; And the teachers always pass us, For we’re on our guard. Never think or dream of lovers Never stare or gaze When the serenaders hover ’Neath our window shades; Never “a-hum” when hoys are looking, Never say “Oh, you kid!” In our rooms we do no cooking And we never did. Never want to run or whistle, For ’tis not polite; Never make a wretched fizzle, When we don’t recite; Never use a slang word, never! Never chaff or chin. Never keep our skirts together With a safety pin. When we meet a High School boy, We never talk to him; Never name the other gender, Save to say “Amen.” You may gather from this data, Just how good we be. I’m as proud of every Senior, As she is of me. Tune: Coming thro’ the rye. SENIOR CLASS YELL 11 arum, scarum, rickety, rack ! Hear ’em, cheer ’em, fetch ’em back! Up and going and always there, The Seniors are leaders everywhere! THE C II INOOK Senior Class Poem Backward through the clays of study, In the days now unforgotten, In the days of fun and laughter, Came we here from our location. Came we here for our vocation, From the cities of Montana Large and small, both represented. Left our homes and all our kindred, Left our friends and thus we parted. And with awe we all assembled To attend the “Hall of Knowledge,” That is called the Normal College: There were ties of friendship fostered, Many bound in closest union For we kept each other’s counsel. Spake with truest thoughts together: Thinking much and much contriving. How the friends of each might prosper. In the days of “Juniorism,” In the days of fun and class “fights.” In the days of bold athletics, In the days of queer dramatics, Came we here as carefree Juniors. Ever blithe and ever joyful. Through the trials of all the pledges; Entered clubs and learned their secrets. Thus our days of fun passed onward Toward the days of “Seniorism,” When our work began in earnest; Many days we talked together, Questioned, listened, waited, answered ; Learned of every book its contents, Learned ideals of truth and honor: Thus we strove to do our duty. Strove with strength in every contest. Whether winning, whether losing; Always “gamesters” unassuming. Thus our days of fun passed onward, As the days of toil came thronging; And seemed ever to o’erwhelm us, But the courage of the dauntless. Never left us, never failed us. Though we thought of home and kindred, Longed for those we loved so dearly; Yet we studied faithful ever, Working, striving to succeed. Now the final days come thronging. When each maid must do her part; Thus to make her classmates happy. ’Ere the day comes when we part. With one accord the Seniors fondly Bid you all a kind farewell. And honor be to all our teachers, Who have helped us, who have taught us, Who have trained us to accpiirc. Who have spent much time and effort, Planning much for our success; Honor also to our schoolmates, Who are climbing up the ladder To the golden sphere of fame; May they win the day and prosper, In the life that is to come. May they never know a trouble, May they never have a sorrow, But be always up and doing, Doing deeds for every one; Honor be to our dear College, Which we’ve named the “Hall of Knowledge”; May she ever hold precedence, Over all the schools around her; May she never on the morrow, Know a care, a grief or sorrow. But be always rising upward— In the minds of man and woman; Thus we say farewell to college, To our friends and teachers true. And before we close our poem, We say farewell—farewell to you. —M. A., A. M. 1913. THE CHINOOK A Nightmare HILE the janitor was giving the boys’ dormitory its semi-century cleaning, he chanced upon a pamphlet advertising l)r. Killorcure’s freckle remedy which, upon further examination, disclosed the name of Homer Worth. Further inspection proved it to be a diary of that gentleman. Temptation overcame the janitor, lie opened it. The tirst few pages were Greek to him, being merely unsuccessful attempts on the part of the owner to write an ode in German to his latest dormitory affinity. The janitor passed them by in disgust at the inherent weakness of man when entwined in a woman’s clutches. He turned more pages until suddenly his eye brightened and a smile of anticipation overspread his countenance. The following explains this smile and also why he tendered it to the Chinook editors. March 17, ’13.—Being rather peeved last night at Mrs. Clements for not taking me to the picture show with her when she took the rest of the girls, to console myself while they were gone, 1 took over to my room a couple of dish-pans full of that delectable dainty known as blueberry pie. Fearing that I would have some left on their return, 1 devoured the whole mass in two mouthfuls. That night I was beset by “the nightmare and her whole nine fold. ’ The only dream that remains in my poor memory is the one which I write down here as it seemed to me to be a revelation from the gods. I seemed to be spinning rapidly in space. I also seemed to be sitting on something but my feet were dangling in the air. After the first moment of confusion I recollected my blueberry pie. I started to feel about for it when my hand encountered a pocket almanac which I always carry to remind me when Saturday comes. To my surprise it was dated 1923. “Surely my eyes were deceiving me ’ I thought. In consternation, I attempted to arise. In doing so my pedal extremities struck something hard. I picked it up. Behold, a telescope! I put it to my eyes and gazed into the space about me. In the infinite distance I perceived also spinning in space, a familiar green ball. “Oh, that is the earth,’’ I cried, recognizing it by the flag pole on the M. S. X. C. campus. “I must be sitting on one of those satellites that are so friendly with President Monroe ’ I was in deadly terror for fear of being hurled from this perilous position and being impaled upon the college tower when a sudden turn and adjustment of the telescope disclosed such overwhelming revelation to my startled eyes that I forgot my predicament. Through the munificent bore of the telescope I beheld the regal head of Gertrude Slocum protruding from the cab of the Midnight Limited through Alabama ; while ahead of the train, calmly shooing the cows off the track, walked our speedy Maud Arthur. “How did they come here? I thought. “They were peaceful seniors of the dormitory when I went to sleep last night. Then the 1923 on my pocket almanac came to me. 1 understood all and turned my telescope in search of the other illustrious members of that class. A Salvation Army in Butte next attracted my gaze. Here I found Grace Gleeson industriously keeping back a crowd of roughnecks who pushed forward to hear Erma Hearn, who was frantically lecturing on “The Evils of loo Much Levity,” while May Scluilten, with a sad looking face, passed the hat around with a pitiful supplication for generosity to the good cause. On the next corner I beheld a crowd of screaming children dancing around what I thought was a hurdy-gurdy man and his dancing monkey; but. on closer adjustment of my instrument, 1 found it was Lucille Hartman, industriously grinding “The Irish Wash Woman” out of a hand organ, while Mary Burke THE CHINO O K gracefully danced an Irish jig to the delight of the audience. Horrified, I swung my telescope to a remote street in Pekin, China, where I saw newly weds just arriving from America with trunks marked “Missionaries from Montana to the ‘Heathen Chinee'.” The bride was none other than our blooming Florence Mayer. The groom, one could easily recognize him, was a tall, slim, light-haired, scholarly look-ing young man of a town in southwestern Montana. My gaze lingered there until the atmosphere became too amorous, then, with a rapid sweep of my telescope, i beheld a tall, imposing building which proved to be a young men’s reformatory, owned and operated by the Misses Vines, Grccnough, and Sullivan. Miss Vines was just starting on a lecturing tour of the state to raise more money. Miss Grccnough was lecturing a class of boys on how to regain lost reputations. Miss Sullivan was rounding more lost sheep into the fold. Others were there also. Miss Clark I found singing a rote song. Anna Gorman, a fat, jovial cook, was preparing delicious hash. Mabel Malee was giving a chosen few a course in table manners. Quite overcome, I hastened away and happened upon Lolo Church, Mamie Curry, Myrtle Dragstedt, and Eva Higgins, beautifully gowned, social butterflies, at a fashionable summer resort. As my gaze wandered through the streets of this town, I noticed a long row of men waiting their turn at the tonsorial parlors of the beautiful Mademoiselles Comineau, Duval, and Jackson. I next was attracted by the white tents of a large circus in “Lap-over,” Missouri. In the menagerie tent was a cage marked “Genuine Montana products, harmless if not tormented.” Grinning through the bars were the faces of May Price and Anna McGrady. While 1 lingered by, a clown, our old friend Fishy, came by shouting, “Don’t fail to see the tight-ropc walker, the world-famed Lucy Kemper, and the marvelous snake charmer and sword swallower, Ruth Conway!” Then the voice of Alice Roy reached me crying, “Ice cream, pink lemonade, peanuts, popcorn, chewing gum. ()h, you spearmint kiddo with the wriggley eyes!” I looked into a little town in Mexico. Here the center of attraction was Dora Morgan, the skilled bronco buster and bull fighter. I raised my telescope. In Chicago I saw a ball park plastered with signs lauding Florence Taylor, the agile league player. At the entrance I beheld Amelia Norris calling in a loud voice, “This way, please. I lold your own tickets.” I had but four more of the class members to find. I sought them at the cap-itol of our country. Here I was de-light fully surprised to find Dora Hart, the president’s wife. Joe Lilly was also shining among the ambassadors and trying her best to get a foreign title. In New York, I saw Kate Mecrs leading a militant suffragette parade, while in the east side of the city I found the last member, Susie Karas, leading young Italy along the flowery path of knowledge. I thought over all I had seen. “Well, they have vastly exceeded mv expectations,” I said to myself and then the alarm clock woke me.

THE CHINOOK The Junior Class Prophecy © XCE upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,— While 1 nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping,—rapping at my chamber door. “ Tis some visitor,” I murmured, “tapping at my chamber door,— Only this, and nothing more. Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisance made he,—not a minute stopped or stayed lie, lint, with mein of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door,— Perched and asked me if 1 cared to listen to some Junior lore,— Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then I answered, “Tell me, Raven, what my classmates now are doing,— Where is Tommy, Fordy, Nelle, Carrie, Ella, Pat, and Belle?” But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token. Kager-cyed 1 waited for the tales 1 wished to hear, Of the fortunes of my classmates, bound so closely by the Fates. Merely this, and nothing more. Then this ebon bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, “Helen now is matron acting, prim, severe and quite exacting; Mildred Minar now is settled, in a Benton bungalow; Glad was 1, to hear these tidings of my friends of long ago,— So I whispered, “Tell me more.” ‘Mayme Morgan has won fame and honor, painting pictures true to life; Susie has renounced the world, and inside convent doors is working.” Much amazed at this was I, but my reverie soon was broken By these words so quickly spoken, W ill and Fordy are parading, Making speeches, smashing windows, men's private meetings much invading, Suffragettes—forevermore! “Mugs has given up her music, Tommy also, for dry farming,— Chubby now is vaudeville actress, and Bess a public benefactress; Sullie has been very lucky, she has a duke and all his money; While society claims Miss Margaret Wallace; a country school claims Ella Fox.” I asked, “Is Pat a spinster maiden, fondling birds and pussy cats?” Quoth the raven, “Nevermore!” “Paderewiski is far outdone by your classmate, Lucy M.,— Irene a madame has become, and Tetrazzini's place has taken; Dodds and Bennett are engaging in a serious undertaking. They’re working far o’er land and seas, teaching heathens their A, B, C’s; Catherine and Belle, too, long have waited; their state in life no more is debated,— Bachelor maids forevermore!” T I I E C H I N O C) K Thus I sat engaged in listening, and not a syllable expressing,— To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core, And the Raven still continued with his tale of Junior lore, Saying, “Verna Bird is leading warbler in Chanticleer revived, And Carrie G. has been appointed by the National W. C. A.— Secretary—forevermore I” Alice Roney, known as Grannie, now is sitting calmly knitting, With her specs perched on her nose, all day long she knits and sews. And Steve, you know, is baseball pitcher on the Women's Champion Nine; But listen, Kirky is at Murray’s at the Nurse’s Training School.” “Impossible,” I cried, still doubting, but the Raven kept repeating— “She’s quiet now forevermore.” “And the Laffalots, O Raven! tell me now, what they are doing.” “They are teaching at the Normal, Mart is the new art instructor,— ‘Bobby’ has given his place to Holly and Zita is following the foosteps of ‘Polly — Martha presides in Room 16, relating incidents of king and queen, Issy has taken the geography class, teaching of physics, of solids, of gas,— Professors all, forevermore.” “Slim Ragen has charge of the dumb-bells and gloves and is teaching the swinging of Indian clubs; Julia has charge of observation; Erna is teaching quick calculation,— And then there’s the president, greatest of all, who governs the college and Normal Hall; Speaking at Convo., signing excuses, lecturing, advising, preventing abuses,— Signing diplomas and many things; Now, do you know who lie is? Why, Homer Worth— The president now—forevermore!’’ “Nellie has taken Ogden’s name, and Olga's writings have won great fame; Dell and Jean are happily married, ‘Ag’ and ‘Finn’ are high school teachers,— And Erma with her Irish smile, has long been back in Emerald Isle; Pies and cakes and doughnuts making, Mary is apt in the art of baking,— And Florence Lepper, a little sprite, is flying higher than any kite,— With an aviator—forevermore!” Here the Raven ceased his speaking, no more Junior tales repeating, Out into the darkness moving, leaving feelings calm and soothing. Ah! distinctly I remember that cold night in bleak December, When the Raven spoke to me, spoke to me of Junior lore; Bea, am I, and back in Normal teaching, rote songs by the score. Rah! Rah!

BUST as Thomas scooted around the corner of the barn, in high hopes of escaping his dreaded daily task of washing dishes, his mother called, “Thomas, you come here immediately.” Knowing why she had called him, Tom slowly plodded back to the house, muttering to himself all the way. Taking up the dish pan and slamming it down on the table, he mumbled, “I don’t sec why boys have mothers, if they have to do all their own dishes and everything else.” “Tommy, you be quiet! The very idea of a big twelve-year-old boy grumbling because he has to perform a simple little task for his mother, when he doesn’t have a thing to do but play and carry a little wood and water. You should be ashamed of yourself, my boy.” “Well, I’ll bet if you were a boy and had to do dishes and have all the boys make fun of you and be called ‘Susie you’d be mad too.” So saying Tom angrily dropped a China cup into the pan with a crash. “Tommy, how dare you break that cup! For that you shall wash and wipe the dishes alone for a month.” Saying this, his mother left the room. Poor, angry Tom worked rebelliously away. “If she thinks that I'm going to do dishes any more, she’s mistaken. This is the last time I’ll ever wash dishes for anybody! 1 would rather do anything else on earth than wash dishes and I’m going to quit it. The longer he worked the more angry he became. I’ll finish them this time and then I’ll begin life on my own hook. 1 can easily get work up at the mining camp and then I’ll have a little money of my own, too. Besides, I’ll be my own boss for once in my life.” Having dried all the dishes, Tom twisted the dish towel into a knot and threw it under the table, made a farewell bow to the kitchen and hastily made his way to his own room. Snatching up his pillow, lie pulled off the slip, put it in his pocket, took his coat and hat and ran to the storehouse. “Now I’ll take some of the things that I like best and have them for lunches,” lie said, and proceeded to take down from the shelves, a pint bot- tle of sweet pickles, a package of puffed rice, a can of sweet potatoes, a package of crackers and some cheese. These articles lie put into the pillow case and tied them in securely. Putting on his hat and coat and throwing his lunch sack over his back, he stole out the back way and ran across the river bridge to the road. It was about 2 o’clock on a hot day in July when this rebellious little lad freed himself from parental government. He began his journey to Eldorado, a mining town about fifteen miles from his own country home. At first he walked very rapidly and his expression was one of determination. After an hour’s walk he was over two miles from home, and deeming himself safe, sat down to rest. I believe I’ll eat some of my lunch now, so it won’t be so heavy to carry.” In a few seconds he had the pickle bottle open and was devouring a pickle, his favorite titbit. After eating nearly half of them, he continued his journey. THE CHINOOK As he walked along in the hot sun, he exclaimed, “My but it’s hot! My coat feels as wet as a dish rag. I'm going to put it in the sack and carry it. Upon taking his coat off, he noticed a big wet spot all over the back of it. “My goodness! the lunch sack is wet, too. Opening the sack, he found that the cork had slipped from the pickle-jar and the vinegar had soaked all through his lunch and coat. “Well, my crackers arc ruined, but everything else looks eatable. I guess I’d better be traveling. After resting and starting again many times, Thomas finally found himself in a little grove of trees near the river. lie didn’t know how far lie had gone, but the sun had set, so he decided to make camp. “It’s a mighty good thing that I happened to have some matches because I wouldn’t dare to stay here alone in the dark all night. “I’ll build a fire now and by the time I’ve eaten, it will be started good and I can spend the rest of the evening gathering limbs and building it up.” When the fire was built, he spread his coat down by it for a table cloth and took out his stock of supplies. “Cheese and pickles don’t taste very good without anything else. I guess T might as well eat my potatoes tonight. Upon running his hand into his pocket, his eyes filled with surprise, “I must have left my knife in the cheese-box! What’ll I do? Maybe I can break the can with a rock. Jumping up, he got a rock and began beating at the can. After battering it up a great deal, he came back to the fire. “What on earth is burning? Oh, my coat! A coal has popped on it.” Snatching up the coat, he ran to the river and soused it in the water. Just then an old owl flew past the boy, so frightening him that he was dazed for a moment. When he recovered, he saw his coat floating around the bend several yards down the river. “Well, it would soon be too faded for me to wear anyway, and I can get a new one as soon as I get a job, so I won’t worry about a little thing like that. As the evening slowly passed away, Tom listened to the gentle sigh of the breeze as it swept softly through the grove, and to the lonely hoot of a night owl, that occasionally broke the terrible quietness that Tom did not like. “I wonder what all the folks are saying about my being gone. I guess mamma wishes now that she’d been decent to me while she had me and I suppose papa is out riding old Buck all over the country trying to find me, but he’ll never think of looking way out here.” Next morning the boy arose, refreshed by the night’s rest on a bed of boughs under a tree, ate his breakfast of vinegar-soaked puffed rice, and made ready to travel. When he went to get the cheese, which he had put in a hole in a tree, he found that the wood rats had left him no cheese. With the loss of the cheese he had nothing left for lunch. About noon he arrived at a little ranch house. He rapped on the door and when an old woman responded to his knock, he asked, “Mrs., may I please cat with you today?” “Certainly my little lad, just come right in and be at home. Six men were here for the night last night, and I haven’t had time to do the break- fast dishes yet, I have been so busy with my quilting. Nearly every dish I own is dirty, it seems, but if you will just please me by washing them while I do a little cooking, we’ll soon be ready to dine.” THE CHINOOK Tom drew a long sigh and thought, “Well, I s’pose I might as well do it! I'm so hungry I darsen't say no, but I'll never do it again.” After the dishes were washed and the meal cooked, Tom ate ravenously until he could cat no more. In order to avoid more dish washing, Tom hurriedly left the table, thanked his hostess, and departed with a rosy apple in each pocket. lie had walked but a short distance when he was overtaken by a man in a cart, who was evidently going to Eldorado. He asked the man for a ride, saying, “I'll make it good with you, sir, as soon as I get my money.” Smiling, the man said, “Oh, I guess it’s all right.” So our hero reached Eldorado where he found quarters at Mrs. Phillips’ boarding and rooming house. For four days he tried to find work but without success. As he wandered about the streets on the fourth evening, wondering seriously what he was going to' do to make a living, he noticed a sign in a restaurant window. It read, “WANTED: A boy to wash dishes, good wages, board and room free.” Tom read it and passed on. Presently he came back and read it again. “Good wages,—well, I've got to do some- thing to get enough to buy bread. I'm going in and see the boss. Maybe 1 can stand it until I find something worth doing.” After a talk with the proprietor he decided to try it. “Nine hours of dishwashing is a whole lot, but then a dollar a day is pretty fair wages, and I surely am able to do the work if that girl who just left could do it.” It was pretty hard for him to arise four hours earlier than his usual time, but his determination to earn money helped him. But after a week had passed he grew very tired and sleepy. One day, as he moved recklessly about wishing that he had some of mother’s good meals to eat, he pushed a pan of glasses off the table and broke the majority of them. After a terrible scolding from the proprietor, he was informed that all the wages he had earned so far would go to pay for the glasses. Tom would have quit then and there, but what else could he do with no place to go, nothing to cat, very few clothes, and a three dollar bill due at Mrs. Phillips’? “Oh, how dreadful it is to stay here in this old hot kitchen and wash dishes all day. Just as soon as I get one bunch clean, the old cook brings in some more.” Thoughts of home ran through poor Tom’s mind many times as the days passed slowly by. As soon as he received his first pay Tom paid Mrs. Phillips and bought a new coat, which was on sale at half price because it was faded on one side. Every evening Tom walked about until he was tired, trying to find other work but somehow he always missed what few opportunities that were open. So he would go to bed and dream all night about great tall stacks of dishes and huge steaming dishpans. Sometimes he would dream of home and his mother, and when he awoke and found it all a dream, big tears would fill his eyes. Next pay-day evening he went down to the postofficc to cash his second check. While he was in the office, the night stage halted in front of the door and the driver ran in to get the mail. As Tom looked at the stage, which would so soon pass near his home, tears filled his eyes and a feeling of loneliness came over him. “I can’t bear it any longer, so here goes,” and Tom climbed into the coach, which soon left the camp. It was between io and u o’clock when the coach stopped near Tom’s home. It had hardly halted before Tom in his excitement had handed the driver a half dollar instead of a quarter, and was running at full speed toward the house. All of the lights were out and the whole house T II E CHINOOK quiet. Tom stoic softly to his bedroom and was soon lying in a peaceful sleep in his own white bed. So peaceful was his rest that he did not awake until nearly noon the next day. He did not even know that his dear mother had slipped in and given him a kiss early that morning. After awakening, he lay there saying to himself, “I wonder what they'll all say when they see me. I wonder if mamma knew I intended to come back. Just about that time, some one rapped on Tom’s door and his mother called, “Tom, it’s time you were getting up.” “Who told her that I came back? I wonder if papa will scold me. All manner of thoughts ran through Tom’s head as lie dressed. Summoning his courage Tom walked into the dining room. There stood the table set for dinner, there stood his chair just as if he had never been away. Just then his father came in and saying, “Well, Tom, my lad, hasn’t this been a hot morning, he took his place at the head of the table. Tom did not know much about conditions outside, but he quickly answered, I should say so. When little sister, Naomi, and brother, Johnny, came running in, they looked rather queerly but just said, Hello Tom.” Then his mother hustled in with the hot dishes saying, “Here arc your favorite dumplings, Tom.” “I wonder if they didn’t miss me,” thought Tom, as he ate his meal. “Even old bowser didn’t bark when 1 came back last night, but. maybe he was locked in the shed. As the family got up from the table, his father said, “Well, Tom, you shall be my little man until school starts. If you wish, you may come down to the lower field with me this afternoon and dig potatoes.’’ Tom was thunderstruck at such a proposition, but quickly decided to go. As they went down the path, 'bom asked, “Father who will help mother with the dishes if I dig spuds?” “She has some one to do dishes for her now,” answered his father. All afternoon 'bom wondered who was helping his mother. He afterward learned that it was the girl whose place he had taken at the restaurant. She had come to his home the very next day and had been hired by his mother, who had long wanted a good girl to do her housework. She had told his parents where he was and all that she had heard him say he intended to do. The anxious mother wanted to send for him immediately, but his father said, “No, Daisy dear, just let the lad find out that children do not know more than their parents and that they should love and obey them. Then lie will come home and be a faithful son to us both always afterward.” And so he was. T HE CHINOOK Freshman Story By MARGARET YOUNG. REFLECTIONS OF A LOOKING-GLASS. a DAINTY little opera-bag lay upon a dresser, where its owner had dropped it, and gazed sympathetically at the mirror above it. Presently the mirror in a peevish tone broke out, “Why in creation do you lie there and stare at me in that compassionate manner? I hope my face isn’t dirty?” Oh my, no! It’s always perfectly spotless. I never found another mirror in which I look as well as I do in you.” The opera-bag switched her ribbons into a more becoming position; then she continued in a confidential tone, “I was thinking how little enjoyment you get out of life. You always have to stay in this room and never get out to see what is going on. Now this evening Helen took me to the theatre—’twas the dearest little play. Tis a pity that you can't get away to sec some of those things.” The mirror looked straight ahead with her one large eye, calm, serene, and unenvious. “Yes,” she said, after a while, “You see the make-believe life, but I think that in one day I see more real life than you do in a week, a month, perhaps a year. The opera-bag bridled. “Oh, really! Perhaps you would entertain me with some of your reminiscences. “Why, yes, the mirror answered very obligingly, “I suppose I am like all old people—I like to talk of days gone by, but I 11 try to interest you. “I really have lost all record of the number of years I have stood in this room in this very self-same corner. 'Twas long before that war, though, they call the Revolution, that I came here. And as I have mentioned that war, I will tell you of an incident that happened toward its close. “This room then belonged to another Helen Sargent, the great-grandmother of our Helen. She had the prettiest brown curls, just like the present Helen, only generally she wore them powdered. “The other night when Helen stood before me in the colonial dress and her powdered hair, she looked like the Helen Sargent who used sometimes to sit by the window as she made clothes for the American soldiers. Helen was only sixteen when the war broke out, but a stauncher patriot than she never lived, even if she did—but there I'm getting ahead of my story. “One day Helen’s brother, Keith, came home bringing a wounded 'l ory with him. Keith, it seemed, was fording a stream when suddenly his horse became frightened and he was like to have drowned, if the young Englishman hadn’t come to his assistance. The latter explained with a laugh, that under the circumstances and because it was not in battle he would not make him prisoner. But one of Keith’s men, of course not hearing that, shot at the Tory and wounded him quite seriously, so that it was almost three months before lie was able to return to his regiment. “Helen tolerated him only because he had saved her brother’s life and she used to say lots of mean things to him. She had a habit of sitting before me and repeating everything that transpired between them. T HE C 11 I N O O IC “One clay she came rushing up-stairs, banged the door hard behind her and then, with her back against it, she burst forth into a torrent of angry words. “‘That Britisher! How I hate him! Do you know, Helen Sargent, you're the very sauciest little girl I ever saw, and as I like that kind, I’m going to marry you and take you off to England with me.’ ‘The—the—the miserable—She collapsed into a speechless heap in the middle of the floor and glowered at me, I felt horribly uncomfortable, although I couldn't imagine what T had done. “A few days afterwards, when he went away, Helen drew all the curtains so she could not see him and sat down in front of me and read me a lecture on the despicableness of ‘Britishers’ in general and Mirrah Thornton in particular. “It was five long years before she saw him again, but I knew she did not forget, because often she would stop while combing her hair to say, ‘Oh, Keith said when he was home last time, that he had heard from that ‘Britisher.’ “One day as she sat before the window sewing, the door opened cpiickly, but quietly and a man stepped into the room. I had never seen him before, but Helen jumped up and looked him over from head to foot and said, ‘You!’ “I knew then who it was. “‘Yes, what’s left of me. Helen, you must hide me somewhere—’ “‘I? Hide you? And pray, because of what obligation?’ “ ‘None, if you choose to have it so, but your soldiers are close behind me. If I am caught you know what it means!’ “Then for the first time Helen noticed that he did not wear the soldiers uniform. Her eyes grew bigger and she said slowly, ‘A spyr? They'll shoot you. If I hide you, then I’ll be playing traitor,’—and she still continued to stare. “Presently they heard the hoofs of galloping horses upon the road. The man walked to the window and looked out. ‘They have dismounted and are entering the house,’ he said. “Helen tilted her head as if listening. She heard the tramp of the soldiers through the halls below and still she waited. Not until tliey were mounting the stairs did she move towards the door, draw the bolt quietly and say in a very' low tone, ‘ They will not come into my room.’ “Someone rapped and she called out promptly', ‘What do you want?’ “‘We must search this room,’ the soldier replied. “Helen motioned her prisoner out of sight and then she opened the door and stepped quickly out, standing with her back against it. ‘This is my own room, sir,’ she said, looking bravely up at the kindly gray' eyes of the captain. “ ‘I am sorry, Mistress Sargent—’ “‘If I give my word that I am concealing no one?’ “ ‘The room must be searched!’ “Two small brilliant spots began to glow in either of Helen’s cheeks. ‘I refuse to allow it.’ “‘But really Mistress’—the poor old captain was plainly distressed. ‘Your brother is waiting outside. I will send for him. You surely cannot object to that.’ “ ‘No.’ Helen shook her head and as the captain turned away she slipped back into her room and bolted the door. “ ‘Quick,’ she cried, almost dragging Mirrah from his hiding place. ‘The dresser. ’Tis the only' place. It’s awfully big. I’ll pull out the two lower T H E CHINOOK drawers. You'll have to squeeze in somehow. Your sword!' She grabbed it from him and flung it into one of the drawers. “Mirrah never could tell afterwards how he squeezed five feet and nine inches into so small a space, but he did, and Helen shoved the drawers in just enough to keep them from falling out and tumbled half their contents out upon the floor. When her brother's rap came, she was busily sorting the heap. “Kieth should have noticed the two danger signals that flashed at him when he entered the room, but he did not. “ ‘Come, Helen, you might as well hand him over. W e know he came here. He has not had time to get away, and he is in none of the other rooms.' “ ‘Too bad Helen screwed her mouth into a knot. ‘For whom are you looking, pray?’ “ ‘A British scout.’ “‘There is no such a person in this room.' Keith looked at her sharply. ‘On your word of honor?’ ‘On my word of honor!’ “ ‘I am afraid my little sister is not telling the truth.’ “‘And what if I’m not?’ Helen burst out unable to control herself longer. ‘Have 1 not the right to save the life of one who saved yours, and oughn’t you to lie, too?’ “‘Mirrah Thornton?’ “Helen nodded and Keith turned and left the room. A moment later she heard the soldiers leaving the house. “Then she let her prisoner free and he crawled forth, a cramped and sorry-looking object. He and Helen looked at each other a long time and then he reached out his arms to her. I couldn’t help seeing what fol- lowed, because I couldn’t close my eyes, nor look the other way, but 1 wouldn’t repeat it for anything.” THE CHINOOK Junior Essay By FLORENCE LEPrER. “LE MORTE D’ARTHUR” AND “THE IDYLS OF THE KING”—A COMPARISON. “The old order changeth, yielding place to new, And God fulfills Himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.” i (tit S the glorious pageants of Sir Thomas Malory’s tales of The Round Table contained in his “Le Morte D’Artlnir” and Tennyson’s “Idyls of the King” pass before the eyes of the world, the spectator pauses and unconsciously compares in his mind these two great masterpieces of literature, whether it be a comparison by similarity or a comparison by contrast. We may ask ourselves the question how tales written about the same events, can be portrayed so differently. It is the authors themselves to whom we turn for the solution. Tennyson, the later writer, gives his “Idyls a deep moral significance, which is not found in “Le Morte D’Arthur,” thus revealing the individuality of each. Each Tennysonian character is symbolic of some vice or virtue giving the entire book an air of spirituality. Malory’s “Le Morte D’Arthur” is a history, as it were, of facts without an underlying or hidden meaning. The “Idyls” were written between the years 1859 to 1885, and thus it is probable that Sir Thomas Malory, completing his work in 1469, has the more correct and exact version of these old British legends. The fundamental difference between “Le Morte D’Arthur” and the “Idyls” is the manner in which these gifted men have arranged the Arthurian tales. Tennyson's work is a series of idyls written in blank verse with the Court of Arthur as a setting or a connecting link. “Le Morte I)'Arthur” is one continuous story, divided into books, each complete in itself. It is written in old English, thus making it difficult to understand, when one is not accustomed to it. The characters are clearly and distinctly separate. It has been said of the characters as Tennyson sees them, that the worst defect is that the central character comes so near to being “Faultily faultless, icily regular, splendidly null,” but this defect is outweighed by the fact that the poem brings out the “great truths of human life, as Stcdman expresses it. Both books describe the passing of Arthur in much the same way and from both we can hear the cries of the mourning Bedivere, “The king is gone. From the great deep to the great deep he goes.” THE CHINOOK Senior Thesis By LOLA B. CHURCH. PLAY AND ITS VALUE IN THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD. CHE complete history of play would he the history of the human race and would go back as far as the mystic world. ‘Play is an instinct, the purpose of which is the education of the individual. Sociologically its value was early shown by the union of early tribes for the purpose of working together for the good of the tribe as a whole. So today the best way to secure co-operation seems to be through community of interest in play and recreation. It is a preparation for work. Some may say that if a child spends his time in play, he will never learn how to work or be willing to work, but this is not so, for they have confused idleness with play. A child, in order to become an expert, must do the disagreeable things as well, such as practice. The sort of play that becomes expert is the best sort of preparation for work. “The child without a play-ground is father to the man without a job.” The plays of childhood arc the germinal leaves of all later life. Play promotes vigorous health, nervous stability, physical strength, vital and functional strength, friendliness and morality, because it strengthens the will. Vigorous play teaches determination and tends to unify the mind. It also promotes loyalty. A child’s first play is quite meaningless, but as he progresses he adapts himself to his environments and imitates the vocations of men that he sees and admires. Play may also be looked at from an aesthetic standpoint, as in singing. dancing and drawing. When this aesthetic development of play is pursued to produce a pleasurable effect on others, rather than as an end in itself, it becomes an art. Play leads to good health. Health promotes good government, and good government likewise promotes good citizenship. When the health of an individual becomes impaired through neglect of his physical necessities, he forfeits much in developing human society. The person who never has cultivated his mind or body, or developed them, becomes a figure without recognition in human affairs. Good health is then one of the essential things of every piece of work of civilized society. As for myself, I believe that play is certainly the most valuable exercise and has a great value in the growth and development of the child. It is through play that all the muscles of the body arc brought into activity and exercised in the proper way. Through exercise the muscles grow and are strengthened, thus developing the physical part of the child. A good physical condition leads to a good mental condition. This is shown on our play-grounds every day. The child who is most active on the play-ground, and leader among his companions is nearly always leader in his class work. I believe play paves the way for deeper morality than could he secured in any other way. The child is taught to respect the rights of others. Play takes up the spare time of the child and his mind is used in pro- THE CHINOOK (noting originality and adventuring out farther into ideas of his own in regard to games. Gaines develop alertness, rapid response, muscular control, quick thoughts, and judgment in picking out the games he wishes to play. Play is certainly educational and is the best form of physical exercise, for the child likes play and he puts his whole soul into it, thus receiving splendid benefits from it. 'fhc child through play develops society. In his school days he is associated with his school friends; as he grows up he enters the society of the older people and, through his physical health, lie is able to lead in society and be of great help to those about him. Play is the origin of all advancement. As he grows up he enters the basketball team of the college. He learns that the interests of the individual must be sacrificed to the good of the larger unit. This one point, the submerging of self for the organization, develops a true spirit as nothing else can do. New ideals are formed and boys’ and girls’ characters are strengthened. Games such as basketball are not only for boys, but for girls as well. The girls need physical exercise just the same as the boys. The statement that athletics tend to make women masculine is false, for a masculine woman is born so, and not made masculine by athletics. Girls can acquire strength of body, lungs and heart, graceful carriage, beauty and ease of manner in athletics, but they need not develop into a masculine type. Our most progressive nations today are those devoting the most of the time to athletics and games. Play is an education, and it is an education that gives to the young strength, health, alertness, sympathy, friendship, and courage and, better than all, it paves the way for a deeper morality than would come in any other way. All gymnastics should be as play, and just as soon as the love for the gymnastic period ceases, then we know there is something wrong. Gymnastics should be in the form of play, for play develops judgment, compels rapid response to a stimulus, enforces alertness, muscular control, rapid decision, and quick thoughts, all of which is educational training. From the purely educational standpoint, play is superior to any other form of physical training, as is shown in the English schools, where they have no formal gymnastics, but get their training from football, tennis, boxing, wrestling, rowing, and swimming. THE CHINOOK WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? If we only knew how much we would have to know in order to know how very little we do know, our knowledge of ourselves would be complete. But we do not know how much we would have to know in order to know how very little we do know; therefore, our knowledge of ourselves is incomplete. But I know what I know, and what I know, I know I know. M. M. 14. THE CHINOOK The Basketball Tournament IKIIK basketball tournament of 1913. though held quite late in the spring, was nevertheless most interesting. All the games were well attended and were most exciting. On the whole all were, quite evenly matched. The Montana State Normal College was represented by the Senior, Junior, and Preparatory teams and the Training School by the “Arrow Heads” and the “Flaming Arrows.” The Senior team worked hard, oh! so hard, but being the class of 1913, they were defeated in every single game. They took their defeat admirably and soon forgot it in their great expectation of the final outcome of the tournament. Of all the tournament games, the one Thursday afternoon, April 17, was of course the most exciting. The Juniors and Preps had won an ecpial number of games and this was the final game. My! how pretty the trophies seemed to the two classes, in very lively style and splendid work was done by cheering and yelling of the bystanders were loud one’s ear drums, if it had been anywhere except at a The game ended with a final score of four to nine, in favor of the Juniors, thus giving them the victory of the tournament. The game began both teams. The enough to break tournament game. STANDINGS OF THE TOURNAMENT.

THE C II INOOK PUBLIC SCHOOL BASKETBALL. 44trUE ARROW HEADS and “Flaming Arrows” were Ki most appropriately named, for they played with about as much speed as an arrow has, when passing through the air. How fast the ball passed from player to player! Everyone wide-awake and looking for the ball! Did they heed hard blows or knocks of any kind, if they could only get the ball? In the final game the “Flaming Arrows’ won and thus were given the rewards of their labor. The Dillon Public School team also played very well. They were a splendid match for the Beaverhead County High School Freshmen, who found it very hard work to overcome their opponents. These teams played two very exciting games, each team winning one game. The D. I S. team was cheered and led on by the inspiring yells of the Seniors, who had quite a hard time making themselves heard above the din of the high school boys’ yells. As a reward for their labor, we herewith give you a picture of the youthful players of the Dillon Public School. THE CHINOOK FIELD DAY. THE CHINOOK FIELD DAY. Field Day is the annual athletic day. Once a year the Training School children and the Normal students give a public exhibition of the work done in the physical training department Each grade in the Training School gave a drill. Some of these were directed by practice teachers. The Senior Class, which won the trophy, gave a military drill; the Junior Class, a Spanish dance; the Preparatory Class, a tennis racket drill.

Irma Stone During the month of April the officers for the coming year were elected: President.................................Beatrice Collins Vice-President ..............................Julia Driscoll Secretary.....................................Zita McGovern Treasurer............................Martha Powers On October 26, the club gave a masqued ball. All types and nations were represented from the baby in long clothes and a colored “mammy” to a summer “dude” and a cowboy. Punch and wafers were served during the dancing and a splendid supper was enjoyed by all. The College Orchestra furnished the music for the affair. During the winter, while tennis was impossible the members spent many social evenings together. Several sleighing parties were planned, but each time a thaw caused a postponement. The courts are in splendid condition and guests and members cf the club have had many pleasant games. As soon as the new rackets and balls arrive, we will be able to accommodate more players. On account of the many rains last fall it was impossible to hold the tournament, but one is being planned for later in the spring. Some lively sets are expected, for the players are already showing fast work. T II E C II INOOK THE GLEE CLUB. THE ORCHESTRA. TIIE CIIINO O K GLEE CLUB ORGANIZATION.

T he enrollment of students exceeded that of the year before, and to those who wished to prepare for teaching or to those who wished to prepare themselves for greater efficiency as a teacher an extensive course of study was offered. Very few of the students could go home to spend the Fourth of July recess, so the College Faculty arranged for baseball and a track meet on the campus. The matron planned to have a picnic lunch for the girls served on the campus. The following Saturday was the date decided upon for the “Annual Summer Go.” The morning of July 6, the student body started to Sheep Canyon. They reached there just at noontime and immediately they began to prepare their dinner. In the afternoon many of the girls had their first experience in mountain climbing. Although caught in a summer rain on the way home, their ardor for the summer “Go” was not dampened. Another important feature of summer school was the “Summer Story Teller's Club.” T he club met on the campus Friday evenings from 7 to 8 o’clock. Each night a member of the club told a folk talc or a fairy story. The club was especially helpful to those who were taking up primary work. The summer school closed successfully August 29, 1912. Many of the students, who came only to attend summer school, decided it would be to their advantage to remain .for the regular school year. T IT E C II INOO K “The Go” Tickety tack! Hay rack! Billiky blows! Old clothes Salad and cake That “Batty made! Heigh! TTo! We’re off for the “Go. The sun shone brightly and a happy buzz rang through the Dormitory as the girls hurried about, getting ready for the “Go.” Ever since Mr. Mosher had spoken of it in Convocation, they had been anticipating the annual outing day. At 8:30 two hay-racks of students, a tally-ho and a buggy, in which the faculty rode, several horse-back riders and the “grub wagon, were on their way to Sheep Canyon. They made the valley ring with their songs and cheers. Such a happy crowd! When they arrived the younger “goers scattered about the canyon, while the Seniors and Faculty, under the direction of Miss Bettes and Mr. Mosher, prepared dinner. One would have thought Mr. Mosher an experienced cook after drinking the delicious coffee he made, and a better hostess than Miss Bettes never presided. In the afternoon merry parties climbed about the neighboring hills or journeyed to the famous “Rye Patch. After supper the hay racks started back with the tired, but noisy crowd. As usual, the town was awakened at a late hour by the joyous shouts and “yells of the homeward-bound party. THE CHINOOK The Faculty Reception When the “old girls” conic hack to the “old camp grounds,” accompanied by the new recruits in the field, the Faculty entertained them at a reception. The primary purpose of their reception was that the new girls might get acquainted and feel at home in their new surroundings. The Faculty and students were especially honored by the presence of a number of townspeople interested in the welfare of the school. The evening was very enjoyably spent, and the new girls certainly felt like members of the Normal crowd when it was over. THE CHINOOK TH E CII I NOOK Kappa Zeta Nu T HE Senior Class of 1905 were the charter members of the Kappa Zeta N11 Sorority. They organized the society to further college spirit through literary and social channels. It is a Senior, secret society and is held in high esteem by its members and the entire student body. At the close of each school year the members of the Junior Class arc initiated, taken through the mysteries of the Sorority. Once each year the new members of the Faculty are initiated. Those initiated in 1913 were: Mrs. Julia H. Clements, Mrs. Jane 'Patterson Scott, Misses Florence E. Gardner, Rcitta Joy Rust, Jennie Merle Sanders, Edith Amelia Hatch, and Mr. Walter Scott. The following officers were elected for the first semester of the year 1912-13: President........ Vice-President. Secretary........ Treasurer........ Historian........ Critic........... Sergeant-at Arms. Lucille E. Hartman ....Lola I� . Church ....Ethel M. Vines ..........Alice Roy ...E. Lucy Kemper ....May A. Schulten ....Eva C. Higgins The same officers were elected for the second semester. 'Phe class of 1913 had the Sorority rooms retinted and started the custom of giving a Sorority play. The play given by this class was “Cupid at Vassar.” It was a great success. K. Z. N’s. CHARACTERISTICS. Lucille Hartman: “I try to make my enemies transient and my friendships eternal.

For well considered reasons only Seniors were made eligible. Elizabeth Saurer, '12, was the first president of the club, which met each alternate Sunday. A special program was prepared for every meeting. Article II of the constitution states the purpose of the club to be as follows: “'fhe object of the league shall be to encourage the art of storytelling and to cultivate an appreciation of classic and folk literature.” One of the main purposes is to get at literature in its original form, as it came from the people, in the folk stories. At the close of the college year new officers for the year 1912-13 were elected as follows: President..............................................Florence Mayer Vice-President.................................Florence Taylor Secretary.................................................Susie Karas Historian.............................. -.........Lucy Kemper During the summer session any and all students who desired to attend the meetings were made welcome. These meetings consisted of two divisions, the play-time and the story-hour. No officers were elected, but two committees were chosen with Miss Holland as chairman of the storv-telling division and Miss Elsie Menzie as chairman of the game committee. flic games were played on the campus, using such games as would be suitable for teachers to use in their own schools. Soon after the opening of the current college year. Miss Bettes invited the members of the Story 'fellers’ Club to meet in her rooms with her every alternate Friday evening. This was agreeable to all the members. It was also decided to take up a different line of work this year from last; one which would extend not only through folk literature, but which would lead into the literature of the individual genius—the investigation of the part that the supernatural, especially witchcraft, plays in literature. In ac- cordance with this idea the following units were chosen: Goethe's Faust, Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night's Dream and Macbeth, Konigskinder and Hansel and Gretel, together with a large number of folk tales.

The work of the club has been under the direction of Professor Clark. The meetings have been held between the hours of seven and eight, Monday evenings. 'flic lines of investigation followed have been most interesting and helpful. Reports have been made upon the study of children with whom we arc in daily contact, the precocious child, the defective child, and special means of education adapted to the blind, deaf, and dumb. The beautiful story of Helen Keller's life was studied. Modern educational methods of treatment in educational lines were discussed, as the Montessori method and its principles. DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN.

This year the club read and studied “Ein Knopf” and ‘‘Der Schimmel,” which the members found very interesting. The club has two great events in its history each year—the Christmas party, and a picnic. Perhaps the greater of these is the Christmas party, which is given at the last meeting before the Christmas vacation. This year the club dramatized and presented the Marchen, “Die Prinzessin Die Nicht Lachen Wollte.” The special aim this year was to represent as many types of German people as possible.

The association was organized for the year early in November. Miss Dora Hart was elected local and state president, Miss YVilhelmina Kramer, vice-president, and Miss Susie Karas, secretary and treasurer. Shortly after the association had organized, a plan for a debating club was formed. The club was planned to give training in public speaking. On April i8 the preliminary contest for the state inter-collegiate contest was held. The contestants were Maurice Mosher, May Price, Maud Arthur, YVilhelmina Kramer and Irma Stone. The contestant winning the highest favor of the judges was Maurice Mosher, who won first place and represented the Normal College in the state contest held this year in Dillon the evening of May 2. YVilhelmina Kramer was awarded second place and Irma Stone, third place. Following the formal contest was one in extemporaneous speaking. Those who entered were Maurice Mosher, May Price, Mrs. Davis, and Mary Burke. Maurice Mosher and Mary Burke tied for first place. The spirit of the oratorical association was given much impetus this year by the efforts of Professor Garver in enlisting the interest of some public minded citizens, who contributed prizes in money to the winning contestants. This year seventy-five dollars was available for distribution among those who won a place in the contest. SOCIAL FUNCTION OF THE ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION. One of the most delightful social functions given at Normal Ilall was that given by the Oratorical Association on Saturday evening, January 25. The early part of the evening was given over to a debate on the question: Resolved, that dormitory life is most efficient for the student. The Misses Burke, Arthur, and Conley supported the affirmative and the Misses Price, Stevens, and Kramer supported the negative. The rebuttal speeches were very interesting and comical. Each side received a vote and a half, so the decision of the judges was a tie. Miss Hatch rendered a beautiful selection on the piano and Miss Scott gave a reading from “Les Miserables.” Miss Esther Thomas sang a solo, accompanied by Miss Margaret Poindexter. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. Between the dances refreshments, consisting of chicken and nut sandwiches, pickles, coffee, cake and mints, were served by the members of the association. About midnight the party broke up. T IIE CHINOO K Prize Oration By MAURICE MOSHER. NIGHT BRINGS OUT THE STARS. eVERY nation lias its heroes whom it reveres, all states have their brightest men and women of whom they are proud, every community has its brilliant representatives to whom it gives honor, and every person has a mental transcript of his ideal to the precepts of which he tries to conform. The beautiful characters which time has brought to view are well known to us and we all have high hopes and ambitions which, if brought to culmination, would make for us a high place in the memory and respect of man. Nearly every one of us has, at one time or another, acted upon the spur of the moment and acted in a manner different from what we would had we had time to consider. That act may or may not have been commendable; that is not the ciucstion here. The point is that it was the unusual situation and succession of events which prompted the action. We know from our own observation and from our reading that unusual times bring forth unusual people. During every momentous crisis there is a tide in affairs which elevates some person to distinction and honor for his courage and conviction because he rendered some great service to mankind, service of which mankind stood in dire need. When such a one is brought to light, political enmity, personal dislike and party strife are forgotten, that all may show appreciation and gratitude for the services so valorously rendered. There arc hundreds of men and women who retain a prominent place in our memories because they were of just such mettle as to be brave and fearless at the time when those excellent qualities were most required. There has never been in all history a dark time that some champion of the cause in strife has not appeared, for night brings out the stars, and from the many constellations are some which shine more brightly and clearly than others. The old Biblical character, Moses, presents one of the most striking of the type of men with whom we are dealing. Moses is one of the men of the Bible whom theologians and Bible students love for his power and ability in leadership developed in the time when complete annihilation threatened the Tribes of Israel. The Tribes were in bondage and had been for years, but on account of great dis- sension and quarreling they accomplished nothing. Their troubles and trials were so great that they lost faith in everything and everyone, even their God. Moses was at that time only a shepherd, tending his flocks far away from the Children of Israel, when it was made known to him that lie was to be the deliverer of that people and was to be a great man among men. He was much cast down. He doubted his ability to meet such a ponderous problem, for who was he, only a man common as any? His life had been peaceful and never had he been thought to be possessed of a gift of genius and leadership great enough to enable him to free from bondage a doubting slave people. But as circumstances developed and events occurred, he likewise developed in power and ability. His mind was large enough to be developed without swelling and soon he found himself one of the greatest men of the Tribes, among which there had been sages and philosophers thought heretofore to have no equal, so great as to have been employed in the court of Pharaoh, then the most brilliant court in the world. Moses succeeded in leading the people out from the hand of a cruel oppressor, but was his ability self-contained and self-giown? Did he himself forsec all dangers and gains before any move was made and then accordingly plan all his movements? No. He started humbly and as situations grew more complex and difficult did Moses develop in strength of mind to cope with them. The circumstances and attendant happenings made him grow and develop and it is clearly apparent that no other reason may be assigned for his greatness. Toward the latter part of the eighth century there was born the son of a great general, Pepin the Short. When the general died this son inherited his power. The name of the boy is one with which we arc all familiar and which we remember with amazement at the great deeds of the person whom it designated,—Charles the Great, or, Charlemagne. The boy grew up in an atmosphere of war, but never had lie been tested for his ability until he became ruler of the empire of the Franks. When he ascended the throne there was an uprising which needed suppression and there was a succession of revolts and wars which were great and fierce. As he pro- gressed in age he progressed in knowledge, and as he progressed in knowledge his THE CHINOOK mental power was developed and his genius rounded into more perfect shape. He was alone in power and as he studied the needs of his people he became aware of a multitude of necessities for their advancement. By the time lie had attained middle age he had acquired a vast amount of territory under his domain and found himself in an exalted position. We are all familiar with his conquests and his methods and we respect him for his valorous deeds and for his foresight. He was developed in parallel with the needs of his people. His greatness is based on the fact that he was needed just at the time when destruction threatened; and lie appeared on the horizon as the champion of his cause, greater talent and efficiency being brought forth at each succeeding problem. In the latter part of the eighteenth century there was a man decidedly unpretentious and unassuming, who, nevertheless, when his capabilities and great personal force were demanded, came into prominence in a very short time, and even to the present day is thought to be one of the greatest generals who ever lived. France was in the grip of that terrible revolution which came very near to undermining completely all her foundations, of which she had been so proud and which it had taken- years of unremitting labor to construct. A body of men was in session discussing the urgent need of quelling the awful carnage then taking place. It was when they were in sorest need of a man to lead such a movement that the great man, Napoleon, came to the front. His training had been military; he had seen service as an undcrofficer, but never did anyone dream that he was to have his tryout in such carnage. He was placed at the head of an army and his great military genius showed itself from the beginning. In a short time lie had put down all resistance to authority and had made France a nation of which the world stood in awe, because of her strength and the great man who led her forces. He was a man whom circumstances and a rare situation developed to full power. Had he been primed all his life before to take the master hand in the destinies of France? Was he the only man in all the world who had a gift of genius? France put him in a place where his worth was developed and had there not been such an exigency, the great name of Napoleon probably would never have been heard with such an honorable inflection. All France glories in his greatness and why should she not? He was a man of potential worth, crude material for the formative occasion. At the time when the thirteen American colonies were oppressed by English authority, they were hard pressed for the leadership of a man big enough in mind and forceful enough in spirit to take the small band of men who boasted the name of an army and try to shake off the bondage forced upon them. They had struggled hard and faithfully for many years to make for themselves a haven of safety from foes, and they were people of sterling worth. Were they to lose altogether their most precious treasure of partial freedom? No! Not without fighting for it But who was to lead them? If they fought they must have a leader of no common strength and efficiency but no such man was there at hand. After much discussion and sober thought, the office of Commander-in-Chief of the army of the United Colonies was entrusted to that noble personage, George Washington. Washington had been brought up on the frontier, had seen rough service and had mastered disappointments. He had learned to fight hardships, but now he was to learn to fight against a nation. He had learned to handle a musket, and handle it well, but never before had he been tested as a leader of musketeers. What went on in his noble mind when he received the news of his appointment, we shall never know, but we do know that he was possessed of a determination to fight hard to the finish. He was now at the point in his life when he would prove his worth or his failure. When lie went forth as a leader of those most honorable forefathers of this mighty nation, it was not without trepidation that the people looked upon him. They had not yet learned his ability. As the British continued their outrages, Washington developed in genius and strategy. His mind was not warped by victory, for he realized the awfulness of war, and tried with all his great might to terminate speedily the bloody strife. It was not until nearly seven years had elapsed that he was able to accomplish the end, but when lie did, the colonies were free from bondage to the English throne. During the war lie was always watchful to prevent loss of life wherever possible, and when his men stood in need of proper clothing he bought those necessities from his own wealth. The English soldiers and their hired allies endeavored in vain to check the line of victories gained through the prowess of The Father of Our Country, but his military ability and aptitude in any emergency were brought forth at every turn in events. When the Colonies had gained their freedom, this great man became the idol of the nation, but lie recognized the indomitable fact that he had been made what he was not by himself, but by the attendant happenings and uncommon run of events of only a few years. His career and glory we attribute to the fact that when our beloved country was in the black night of despair, its shining star appeared. T II E CHINOO K When the war cloud of ’61 hung darkest over this great land of freedom, when despair was written on the faces of peace-loving citizens in blackest characters of grief, there came to the front a man of great spirit and wisdom, who hailed from the lowliest origin. He was a large, ungainly,. unpretentious man, with whom the cause of freedom from human slavery and opposition to strife were the prime issues. This country was facing the most terrible time of its history. The black curtain of war was about to be raised, disclosing a horrible scene of bloodshed and anguish, dissension and carnage, from which all eyes were averted to avoid the sickening sight of the terrible truth in letters of blood. Men and brothers were pitted against each other; a Union thought to be impenetrable was rent in twain in strife as horrible as it was inevitable. The government was on the brink of the precipice of destruction and all the principles of right were being assailed as inhuman. Justice was face to face with extinction, and it was not until the crack of musketry was heard and the guns of the Confederate boats boomed their defiance against Fort Sumter that the awful realization of war came upon the defenders of the two causes. The situation was impressed upon all minds in a manner which defied erasure and armies were congregated to fight out in terms of life for life an issue which could not otherwise be settled. The powerful men of the South met in convention and decided upon the course of action they would pursue, and they ol the North were as grim in their determination to defend tne p.maples of Union and right against any opposition contrary io which it might be called upon to align its forces. The country was in the throes of revolution and though the North was firmly decided, it needed a leader whose power was great enough to hold together the broken shreds of the Union. Abraham Lincoln, that person loved and respected of all generations, was possessed of those capabilities so sadly needed and he was of just such character as to fit exactly into the situation and toil for the right. He was no soldier, nor yet did he uphold bloodshed; but he was placed in the chair of power and brought this country through its most horrible experience, and justice triumphed. He wa« brought forth at the exact time when the outlook was darkest and achieved his glory and everlasting fame by being able to tit himself in with the situation. Famous men and women are not honored particularly for their personal characteristics, nor for their psychic superiority. It is not a pure character alone which will turn the eyes of the world upon itself, for there arc thousands of people in our land as lovable as any hero who ever breathed, yet are unknown except in their small circle of friends. It is when a crisis of a country’s life—and these crises are the dark times which come now and then as the testing of a peoole— becomes coincident with a crisis in a man’s character that he achieves his glory. The personages who are developed in such delicately serious times are people of characteristics peculiar in that they fit exactly into the niche left in the situation for the leader. A man may be the victim of circumstances and go down even to his death thinking that adverse circumstances or environments are to blame for his downfall, but the man who is worth while is he who recognizes his opportunity in just those singular events which would prove to be his help if only he fitted himself into this oooortunity in the circumvention of such obstacles. A man may be in dire circumstances but he may extricate himself by recognizing his favorable opportunity. Moses, Charlemagne, Napoleon, Washington and Lincoln were all in exceedingly hard positions, yet did they flinch and sav that they were the victims of circumstances? Caesar, Joan of Arc, Wellington, Grant and Robert E. Lee also performed memorable deeds, yet did they have clear sailing in their honorable careers? Each of them came forth at a time when disaster seemed imminent and overhanging, but they fought with a will endowed of Heaven and won. And when they won did they call themselves self-made? Indeed they realized more clearly than anyone else that mey had stepped into their fame only at the beautiful dawn after a terrible night of seeming hopelessness. These heroes—and many more there are—shall continue in their fame as long as there is an earth. They have lived their noble lives and have died as fearless and intrepid as they lived, and while they lived, their work was to dispel a black night. Each was the bright star of his time. And as time goes on, there will always aooear champions of a righteous cause, for although after day comes night, yet the night brings out the stars. T TI E CHINO O K THE P. I. G. CLUB.

Not of heroes or heroines, Ladies or lords, But of a great fight Nobly fought and won. Live gentle young maidens, Each gifted by Him With a passion for study No misfortune could dim. Set out for the Normal, With hearts lifted high, To gain precious knowledge, Thus the world to defy. They banded together, To courage sustain. And formed the “Three Z’s,” W hose law books contain Only rules that will guide them When the goal seems afar, And their ambitions were shifting Like the sands of the bar. The last of the five Her farewell will soon say And join her co-workers On life's busy way. The “Three Z's will be left us To show us the way, Till we reach the grand goal,— Graduation Day. ’14- T H E CHINOOK THE Y. W. C. A. CAIiI NET. THE CHINOOK Y. W. C. A. OFFICERS—1912.

W. C. A. tfOlIS is a sturdy, struggling organization that has a difficult time to keep its head above the waters of the sea of strenuous life that surrounds the Normal College. Now the billow of enthusiasm lifts it high on its crest. Now the billow, lifting some other interest, threatens to roll over it. But where right lies, might lies, and, though seemingly stronger organizations have sunk beneath the wave, this one still survives. Among its many members each year, there are a few “live wires.” These arc the girls who put “Y. W.” first and work for it heart and soul. They raise money to keep it up in ways as various as selling ice cream on Field Day and acting as agent for Japanese paintings. It is really due to their efforts that the college boasts a Y. W. C. A. This year an interesting Bible study class was conducted by Mrs. Dodds of Dillon, fhe “Leaders of Israel was the topic studied. Miss Fox, the traveling secretary of the Y. V. C. A., paid two visits. Delightful and helpful visits they were, too. Several original specimens of Japanese art were added to the decorations of the association room and the students enjoyed several Kensingtons there. Last year there was, and this year there will be an all-day picnic for the members. Great will be the joy thereof. In the rosy future (why, even next year) we fondly anticipate a time when every member of the Y. YV. C. A. will be a “live wire.” T H E C H I N () O K ' A AWLS 'IVIVXOK 311J j THE CHINOOK The Monmal m HY of course you have heard of it.

A golden setting in which the brightest jewel is the “Normal Cat.” A world of work shut out; a world of fun shut in. An arbor which shades when the piercing rays of intelligence become too dazzling; a harbor where the bright student finds he knows nothing. College is the blossom of which good . time is the fruit. It is a student’s estate obtained by no effort and kept without strife; a place where time is spent without thought of the morrow and the scene of our innocent earthly pleasures and deepest sorrows. An abode where girls never speak of the other sex, except at the close of their prayers. A kingdom where everyone reigns supreme, each one attending to his brother’s business. An institution in which the students rest in the presence of the faculty, and the faculty diligently labor in both the presence and absence of the students. A true existing model of paradise with real angels in the form of faculty and students. Mrs. A. J. Dahl: Oh, is that the Dillon policeman? Mary Burke: No, that is just a fat man walking around the station. Florence Mayer: It is alright to slam the Juniors in the Chinook, but we ought to give the Seniors a good send off. May Price (in physics): A horse power is the power that is needed to lift a horse. Mr. Monroe (in geology): This round island has two sharp points. Dr. Finch: We mustn’t teach the chil- dren too much or we will give them indigestion in the upper story. THE SEVEN WONDERS OF NORMAL COLLEGE. 1. Ella Kerrigan’s puffs. 2. College fire-drill. 3. The noise on the first floor in the old dormitory. 4. Hank’s basketball playing. 5. Mrs. Clements’s original “Ballet Hop.” 6. May Schultcn—the walking, talking skeleton. 7. The Montana State Normal College swimming tank. Mary Stevens (seeing May Ford looking for something which had evidently gotten lost): Have you lost something. May? May Ford: Lost something? Why I’ve lost ten pounds. To the city, to the city'. To have a good time; Class again, class again, To flunk is no crime. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF: Jean Pendcrgast is made of rubber? Laura Hildreth was ever an aviator? Beatrice Collins was in the diamond mine in Africa? Julia Driscoll was a drummer? Irma Stone walked the tight rope in Ringling Bros, circus? Edith Lowery ever crossed the continent on the tail of a kangaroo? Alice Roney found any fringe on Cape I lorn ? Susie McDonald is a man-hater? Mary Krause was a ballet dancer in Romania? Carrie Guidici ever waved the American flag on the north pole? Bernice Connell kissed the Blarney stone? Bessie Dissett dissected the spider that saved Bruce? Wilhelmina Kramer is training to run a marathon race at the next Olympic games? Edith North took north from the north wind? Agnes Finnegan ever pivoted on the point of the star on the Statue of Liberty? Verna Bird ever flew higher than a wren? Margaret Wallace ever weighed a ton on the scale of a fish? Katherine O’Brien is going to marry Pat-Agonia? Louise Holister belongs to King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table? Janey Tovey played on the lyre bird’s tail? The practice girl was trying to correlate the subjects. She had tried to show the relation of the bird's anatomy to his habits. The children had become confused by the constant “switching” from physiology to nature study and vice versa. “Where is the home of the swallow?” she asked. Silence, then a hand waved. “Well, James, where is it?” James: “The home of the swallow is in the stomach.” TIIE CHINOOK “THE M. S. N. C. FOOTBALL TEAM,” THE WORLD-WIDE ATTRACTION.

A Senior awoke in the dead of night. And she heard her heart thump loud with fright, For she dreamt she had flunked in physics lab, And the feeling it gave was mighty sad. But the Senior smiled at her fears so vain, So she turned to sleep and she dreamt again, She sat at the black lab table once more. Prof. Scott was there and he was sore. He started up at a dreadful rate, For in came some Seniors and they were late. Prof, smiled no more on tl� at sad day And to them then he did loudly say: “What chased you up that hall to lab? You come in here as if you were mad; Did a steam engine chase you up the hall? Or have you just come from basketball?” Behind and before and on either side, The Seniors looked, no escape esoied, And, believe me, they grew cold with fear For ever he spoke, distinct and clear: “Pick out your experiments now,” quoth he “We have no time for a jubilee; You take number 9 and you number 1. All right—which experiments have you done?” “I've done,” and her voice did shake with fear, “I’ve found the dew point of—oh, dear. I’ve—I’ve—I’ve the latent heat of Boyles' Law, And the nearest to absolute zero that you ever saw.” Then from amid the youthful crowd There came his voice so hollow and loud: “Omit the Bunny Hug. This is no vaudeville show; Cut out the Turkey Trot and I would like to know— “If you girls in the other room are making fudge?” And, dear me, lie looked sober and as stern as a judge. “Have you finished that experiment,” loudly demanded he. There was no audible answer but an audible “Tee-hee-hee.” “Every day in this lab an hour we lose. But the bell has rung, so you girls are excused.” And tlie Senior awoke in the dead of night, She had bent the rods of her bed in fright. P. G.: “What is a heroine?” B.

Nina turned, bowed elaborately and said: “How-do-you-do, doggie. How-do-you-do.’' A FR.E SUIT R£A DV The class in physiology were studying the outgrowth of the skin. When the growth of hair was discussed the teacher said: “Why is it that there are so few bald-headed women?” One of the pupils said in reply: “There are just as many bald-headed women as men. Why, I’ve seen women whose faces reached back to their shirt collars.” Practice teacher: “Mr. Shoudy, are you going to be at the College tomorrow? 1 am going to draw a oicture of a clown near a tree.” Mr. Shoudy: “Oh, did you want me to pose as a clown?” One girl reading a letter from another girl’s beau, “Will close with a thousand kisses. “Yours truly, (May and Dick Price were in church and the minister was speaking of a child ten years old, who said “pease” for “please”). May: “A child ten years old doesn’t say ‘pease’ for ‘please.’ ” Dick: “You are twice that old and you still say ‘Pease’.” Maud Arthur: “Do you know, T believe that Mrs. Richardson has ‘that old sweetheart of mine.’ ” (Mr. Scott was looking all over the laboratory for a blotter to blot Miss Collins’ enrollment card, after signing it.) Miss Collins: “Prof. Scott, by the time you find a blotter the ink will be dry.” ' Prof. Scott: “Now, Miss Collins, what you trying to do,—kid me?” Dora Hart (in physics): “You can hear reverberations when you stick your head in a rain barrel.” Our darling little Willie Will be with us no more.

THE CHINOOK CUPID’S PRANKS ON YOUNG-HART. The Normal Hall parlors were beautifully decorated with wild cucumber vines, bachelor buttons, pine cones, bleeding hearts and the appropriate matrimony vine to celebrate the happy and unique event which was to take place in the parlors that evening. After all the guests had assembled to the gentle strains of “Everybody’s Doing It. ’ played by Miss Lucy Owens, the bridal couple, Mr. Doral Simplicc Palealcness Hart and Miss Mar-garette Horrida Bubblia Young entered the parlors. Silence reigned supreme when the Rev. Ilomeris Diseobolos Worth arose with solemn dignity and thus he spoke: “Matrimony is for the purpose of the separation of hearts that are no longer bound in twain. Bonds arc ethereal chains, which physicists arc unable to analizc and they bind hearts as closely as flies unto fly paper. “The man's duty is to obey his wife, to do the spring house-cleaning, to perform the act of ablution on the China-ware on the evening of the maid’s perambulations, to consume his wife’s culinary attempts without distortion of his physiognomy and finally to be unto his wife a guard and shield against all ferocious mice. “It is the woman’s duty to participate in all her husband’s pleasures, glories and trials; and to provide for him each day, even at personal sacrifice, an unlimited amount of burdensome responsibilities of household cares, and millinery bills. “Man and wife shall lead a feline and canine existence, but shall show unto the world countenances bespeaking content and domestic felicity, and shall let no sound of their peacefulness re-echo beyond the fortifications of their domicile. “With the fulfillment of these duties, begin and is established the marriage as is prescribed by the Normal Hall authorities. In the absence of the mother-in-law and in the presence of the all-powerful faculty and the august assembly do I ask you, Doral Simplicc Palealcness Hart, wilt thou take Margarette Horrida Bubblia Young to be thy wedded wife and love, cherish and obey her in all life’s vicissitudes, to provide her daily with two glasses of pink lemonade and fifteen purple sandwiches and to give her free and unlimited access to your last copper and your white handled razor?’’ (I will.) “In the absence of the father-in-law and the Normal Hall cat, I ask you, Margaret Horrida Bubblia Young, wilt thou take Doral Simplicc Palealcness Hart to be thy wedded husband, to chastise and guide him in the way he should go, to have his repasts prepared at the stroke of the clock, to darn his socks and to tie his necktie every morning and to keep an everlasting supply of the ever disappearing collar buttons? (I will.) Ring Ceremony. “As a token of these promises, place thou this ring upon her finger. “In the name of Cupid and all his darts, I now pronounce you man and wife.—Amen.” This little lady, look at her! A right interesting little elf isn’t she? Cute, did you say? Well, I should say yes! Doesn't she look jolly, every inch of her? 1 never saw her equal in my life. Oh, don’t you know her? Well, you can't imagine what you have missed. She is the brightest, kindest, most optimistic little bundle of humanity that we have at the Normal College.
