THE HONORABLE EMMET HORAN. An Appreciation 1 he man who regarded his selection and appointment to the State Board of Normal Regents as a commission from the citizens of Eau Claire to bring to this community a State Normal School. Accepting his appointment in that spirit, he never faltered, hut worked untiringly through the years. On October 18. 1916. after eight years of service on the Board, he had the satisfaction of presiding at the dedication ceremonies which marked the formal opening of Wisconsin’s ninth Normal School. The worth of his achievement is not yet fully realized but in the years to come, when the school has grown great, when its influence has spread throughout Wisconsin and the adjoining states, then will the people realize the greatness of this achievement and give all honor to Emmet Horan, friend of education and first Regent of the Eau Claire Normal School. History Twenty-five years ago when Superior secured a Normal School. Kau Claire was a contestant for such an institution. There was quite an effort made by Kau Claire, hut Superior offered all the land necessary for the needs of a Normal School, besides a very large sum of money. The result was that the school was built at Superior. Later on when Stevens Point was applying for a Normal School, Eau Claire put forth another effort, but failed. Then in the late 90’s the Normal School at River Falls burned down and Kau Claire again made an effort to secure a school. A very large delegation went down to Madison in a special car. but failed to make an impression on the Regents favorable to Eau Claire. The delegates were from what was then known as the Eau Claire Board of Trade with Eugene Shaw, President, and Emmet Horan, Secretary. There were twenty-two in all going to Madison, among them being the above mentioned two. A. A. Cutter, T. K. Erawley. Sr., Frank McDonough, Sr.t and Ralph Rust. As stated above, we did not seem to make an impression. The delegation from River Falls made a very strong plea. Their principal argument was that the school had been in operation there for many years, and should the location be changed, it would result seriously for the public good and interest of River Falls. After this there was quite a lapse of time before the matter of a school at Eau Claire was brought up again. Then in 1908 the people began to realize that in order to secure a Normal School at Eau Claire, it was absolutely necessary to have a representative on the State Board of Normal Regents. There being a vacancy at this time, the people of the city held a mass meeting for the purpose of recommending a candidate for the position, and unfortunately. I happened to he the one they selected. They sent a long telegram, about two or three hundred words, to Governor Davidson. and after considerable wire-pulling and petitioning, the Governor made the appointment. The people now placed the responsibility on me to secure a Normal School for Eau Claire, and 1 reluctantly accepted, being pretty well aware of the fact that it would require a good deal of time and effort. I immediately started on the Normal School question after my appointment. The Regents looked upon it with derision and thought it a huge joke. However. I kept after them, and at last they changed their minds, and I will say this, that the Repents were unanimous in their opinion that a Normal School be built in Eau Claire. At the session of 1909, we went before the Legislature and sc-sured the passage of a bill providing that the next Normal School erected should be in Eau Claire on condition that the city furnish all the ground, gratuitously, that would be necessary to take care of the needs of a Normal School in the future. Other cities who were contestants for a Normal School at this time were Marinette, Oconto. Green Bay and Rhinelander. Late in August of 1909 a committee was appointed to come to Eau Claire and select a site for the new school. After a careful consideration of sites, of which there were many, the present site was selected. In 1910 the City of Eau Claire deeded to the State of Wisconsin without cost, twelve acres of land for that purpose. This was accepted by the state. In 1911. when the Legislature met, a hill was passed authorizing the State Board of Normal Regents to improve the grounds selected, and to prepare plans and specifications for the Normal School building, which were to be submitted to the next Legislature. We also secured the passage of another hill, which seemed quite insignificant at that time. The bill provided that the Board of Normal School Regents proceed at once to grade and beautify the Normal School grounds, and that a sufficient sum he allowed out of the general fund to take care of expenses thus incurred. That was an entering wedge, because of the fact that we got some of the state’s money. We did quite a lot of grading the following summer. In 1913 the Legislature, after considering the plans submitted, appropriated the sum of $225,000 for a Normal School building. This amount was divided into three installments of $75,000 each, extending over a period of three years. In September of 1915 we began the foundation of the building. In September 1916. the building was completed. Two years ago we secured an amount of money sufficient to take care of the operating expenses of the school for the year 1916-1917. EMMET HORAN.

To be sure, the accomplishment this year has been largely in the nature of a promise for the future. Hut this has been a high promise, made with sincerity and confidence. In oratory wc entered into competition with the other normal schools of the state m the State I liter-Normal Oratorical League. Milton C. Towner with his oration on A People Despoiled” had the honor of serving as Eau Claire’s first representative in this league. Snowdrifts prevented him and a body of supporters from breaking their way through the gulches into River Falls on the day of the contest, so our first gun in the battle for supremacy in this league is yet to be fired. In the markings on thought and composition Mr. Towner’s oration received second place. In debate our teams this year have met in contest with Stevens Point and River Falls. Considering that we entered into a scries of debates which had been going on among these and other schools some time before we were admitted into the contest, and considering that in each case our contestants were experienced in dealing with the question in earlier debates, Eau Claire presented a very creditable grade of work. The question debated this year was one of decidedly live interest. having to do with a problem which was at the time occupying serious thought all over the nation. It was, “Resolved, that a national system of compulsory training should he adopted by the United States.” Our affirmative team consisted of Loretta Lennie, Floyd Monk and Lawrence Fish. This team met River Falls in our own auditorium on May 4. River Falls convinced the judges that conscription ought to he avoided. On the same evening another team consisting of Ernest Dearth. Sam Davey and Alfred Bergman was trying to convince three judges at Stevens Point that the system proposed was wrong. They met with no serious encouragement on the part of the judges. While we have not won in oratory and debate this year, we have done something much more important and fundamental. We have measured our prowess against the older schools who are to be our competitors in the future. We have learned that they are to he worthy foes, and we have looked forward to the next year with confidence and determination. We have established ourselves as competitors worthy of consideration in Inter-Normal school oratory and debating. Periclean Literary Society Organized Nov. 20. 1916. OFFICERS. President - VV. H.

Its purpose was to have every one get acquainted with everyone else. The library, which was then unfurnished, was the place chosen, ami dancing and talking were the chief amusements. HALLOWE’EN PARTY. The Hallowe'en party was a very successful one. The gym was decorated very prettily with black cats, witches, and everything appropriate to the occasion. A grand march started it off, then games and dancing occupied the remainder of the evening. The guests had their fortunes told, in the witches' cave, looked into a mirror to ascertain their future happiness and took trips to Hades and Purgatory. SUNSET DANCE.

The proceeds were given toward the Belgian Relief Fund. CAMPFIRE PARTY, APRIL 27. The girls of the several campfire groups planned this party for the purpose of raising funds for a girls’ rest room. ATHLETICS AT EAU CLAIRE NORMAL. With the opening of school in the fall, th£ red-bloocle l boys of the school began preparations for football. Enthusiasm ran high until a meeting was called, and only eight-elevenths of a team was unearthed! A hasty survey of available material showed twenty-two males registered. Out of this number twelve were ineligible on account of defects in, their anatomy. Needless to sav. football was given up for the year. Ten healthy youngsters of various sizes, dispositions and degrees of experience answered the first call for basketball. Two, Gelein and House, had played basketball before, but most of the others blinked inquiringly at mention of the game. With an excellent exhibition of pluck the team set to work to overcome its handicaps by hard work. On the eve of the first game, man's ancient enemy delivered a body blow when Dan Cupid, in a frolicsome mood, eloped with our husky center, Ed. House. We barely scraped through the game. Prospects were considerably brightened by the return of the militia from the Mexican border. Art. Olson, erstwhile sergeant of Company E. joined our ranks and immediately filled a big hole in our defense. With him came Anderson, late of the Eau Claire High School, but he, after being with us one whole day, “folded his tent like the Aral), and as silently stole away.” Tis whispered that Cupid cut another notch in his bow. The opening of the second semester brought with it a star from Chippewa Palis. With the appearance of Tandbergj our prospects took another leap, but jealous fate, fearful lest we finally acquire a modicum of good fortune, caused Olsotv to hurt his shoulder, putting him out for the remainder of the season. But seriously, the season was successful for a first year team. Five victories were recorded out of ten games played with the best teams of the state, and we are proud of our boys. There is one thing we might mention and it is with considerable pr dc that wc do so. Our team was noted for its gameness. They out-fought their opponents in every game they played. The greater the odds against them the harder they played, they made “E. C. Normal” and “Fight.” synonymous. The biggest thing the season brought to us was the precedent they established of starting the game at top speed, fighting harder and harder as the game progressed and giving all they had of strength, endurance and loyalty to their kind mother. I For next season we shall have back Captain Gelein, Olson. Tandberg, Regli, Bowman, Berg, Severson and Raether. Besides these we expect a host of excellent men from the best high school teams in the state. This review would be incomplete indeed without an appreciative mention being made of our coach, Mr. G. L. Simpson. With untiring effort and never-failing patience this normal turned out the first year, a team of which it can be and is justly proud. Coach Simpson, dealing with material for the greater part woefully green, and attended at every turn by a watchful jinx, but worked the harder, and it may be suspected that our fighting precedent had its inception and development in his faithful service. When he starts in next fall with a greater number of young men to draw from and an abundance of excellent equipment supplied by the school, we may expect nothing short of state championships.

A People Despoiled It is a cold, stormy, February night, and the auditorium of a great American city is crowded with a throng of refugees from a foreign land. They are singing songs of the homeland. The lights go out, and as the curtain rises, the audience is hushed to silence. The American llag comes into full view, the band strikes up the national air. and, with a shout, the crowd rises, and pledges its fealty to the Star Spangled Banner. As the audience seats itself, the speaker of the evening steps to the center of the platform. He recounts the suffering which drove them from the land of their nativity. and the deportation, or butchery, of thousands of their countrymen. He reminds them of the peace and comfort they now enjoy. and urges that all give themselves unreservedly to the cause of their adopted country, and to be firm in their support of its government. Resolutions are adopted in which they not only reiterate their allegiance to the country, but offer, if need be, their services in the battle line. And who are these people who give themselves so freely to the defense of the American ideal, who so thoroughly understand their duties as citizens? They are the remnants of a despoiled people; the loved ones of the victims of one of the world’s greatest sins. They arc the Armenians whom the Turk has tried to destroy; who like the Jews, have been persecuted, tortured, driven from their homes. Both have retained their national spirit, and a love for country, which has made them how before their persecutors in mute submissiveness. For seven centuries the Armenians had lived peaceably in the land of the 'l urks, as loyal subjects of the Ottoman government. For seven centuries they had lived on equal terms with the Turks. And yet, the last quarter century has witnessed the writing of the “blackest page in modern history. The terrible atrocities inflicted upon this simple, loyal people, in 1895 and 1896, and the recurrence of these atrocities in 1915 and 1916, has brought them a second time to the attention of a sympathetic world. In 1895 and 1896 the world was horrified by the butchery of many thousands of these innocent people. The best blood of Armenia was put to the front in the Turkish army, where they proved loyal and valiant soldiers of the Ottoman cause. When they were no longer needed in the army, they were stripped of their arms and put to work in groups of from three to five hundred on roads and railways. They were slaughtered for no apparent reason except the madness of blood-lust. Orders were sent out from Con- stantinople to the Turkish officials to put down the Armenian rebellion. In some localities the officials answered that they had no reason to suspect the Armenians, reminding Talaat Bey that they possessed no arms, and that already the more vigorous element had been enrolled in the army. “There are some Turks who have a sense of pity, and a sense of shame. The greater part of the Turkish officials, however, took the hint offered by Constantinople. They carried out the orders even beyond the letter, and these lonely laborers were riddled with bullets before they were aware of the presence of cavalry. “A new era of Armenian massacres began. Every form of deception was practiced by the corrupt circle which has controlled Ottoman affairs for seven centuries. With the extermination of the Armenian men. the Turkish government was still unsatisfied. The old men and boys, the women and children were a menace to the empire. Talaat Bey, the Turkish official, was ready with a plan of deportation. He ordered that every Armenian should prepare to leave at a certain hour for an unknown destination. Only a few bankers and merchants were allowed to stay by professing Mohammedanism. and be it said to their honor, that few accepted this opportunity to escape death. No food, clothing, or bedding, could be taken along, save what each could carry. Thus “from May until October, 1915, the Ottoman government pursued methodically, a plan far more hellish than the vorst possible massacre. Driven from their homes, the Armenians were compelled to journey on foot, “under the burning sun through parched valleys, and over snow-covered mountain passes from three to eight weeks. When this caravan of death passed through-even a Christian village not yet reached by Turkish criers, the suffering stream of folk was allowed no aid. Mothers carried children until their nerveless arms gave way. and the little ones were dragged alongside crying to be comforted. If the soldiers were too much annoyed by the wails of the children, a sabre thrust stopped their crying forever. Witness after witness tells us that the deportation is still going on. They are being sent through Adana on the railways, if railways there be; otherwise, forsaken pilgrims, they are driven forth on foot. One English woman writes: “1 stood there at the Adana station and from the carriages, mothers held up their babes, and cried for water. They had got beyond the desire for bread. Only water! There was a pump. I went down on my knees before the Turkish guard to beg him to allow me to give them a drink, but he refused, and the train moved on. Oh! if they would only massacre them, and be done with it. as in Hamidian days! I could not help but think of the great Teacher, who blessed little ones, and who said. ‘It were better that a millstone were hanged about the neck of such an one. and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.1 ” After all the protests by the American Ambassador, Mr. Mor-genthau, had failed, his wife went to Talaat Bey to plead for the women and babes. The Turkish official answered, “Madam, this is our amusement,” and he turned her away. Amusement! Ah yes, it is the amusement of the Turks to destroy the very leaven of the Ottoman government. It is the amusement of Turkey to destroy the people who have made her independence possible! Through all these massacres the Turks have not realized the value of Armenian civilization. The Armenian has ever been superior to his fellow Turk—perhaps because of native ability; perhaps because of education through Christianity. We cannot but feel that this treatment of the Armenian has been brought about through jealousy. The Turks could not bear to have as their subjects a people who were their superiors, as Pharaoh could not rule justly over his superiors, the Israelites. Turkish mobs have never massacred Armenians without the help of the army, and without direct orders from Constantinople. Therefore, we must look to the Turkish government for the instigation of this extermination of a rgee. “The extermination of the Armenians is to the interest of a certain nation, and that' nation is not Turkey.” llenrv Morgenthau says that Foreigners in Constantinople hold Germany responsible for the terrible atrocities inflicted upon the Armenians. Why? Because the German government has done nothing to prevent the distribution of literature arousing savage tribes to attack the Christians. Because the German government, as 'Turkey’s ally, has not lifted a finger to protest against the deportation, and extermination of the Armenian people. Because German officers have, in person, directed the artillery of the 'Turkish army upon this defenseless people. Is it possible that Talaat s orders were issued without the knowledge of Baron von Wagenheim? Is it possible that Berlin knew nothing of the deportations? There, is a man. who, supported by his government. could have prevented the writing of this blackest page. We can try to send aid to those in Russia, but who of us can prevent the massacres? All the powers allied against Turkey cannot. There is but one power that can take that action, and that is Germany. Since she has refused to protest before the massacres started, are we not forced to recognize her as a participant in the crime? These are the conditions which exist in the land of the Armen- ians: this is the plight of a people who have demonstrated bv military service, their faithfulness to the despotic and cruel government of the l urk. These are the people whence came the loyal band who pledged their allegiance to the United States, and who offer themselves freely to its service. We should not forget these conditions: we should not let this pledge of fealty go unrequited. America will be untrue to her ideals, if she permit these cries of suffering humanity to go unheeded. Surely she will not stand cravenly by, and ask with the cynic's voice. “Am I my brother’s keeper? Rather will all of our moral force be exerted in restraint of a savage and relentless despotism. American money has built homes and hospitals for the Armenians. American missionaries have Christianized them and raised them infinitely above the Turk, who misgoverns them. American ideals have colored their thinking and keyed their emotions. Let it not be said that we did this only to desert them in the hour of need: that we led a lamb to the slaughter. Let us think! Let us feel! Let us act! Lor— “If before his duty, man with listless spirit stands. Ere long the Great Avenger takes the task from out his hands. DEDICATION VIEWS. My Autobiography As 1 look back, my life seems to be a jumble of small incidents, some of which stand out more distinctly than others, forming a chain of vivid memories. One of my earliest recollections is of a day in May. I was at my grandfather's farm, where we had been staying a few weeks. ( Ii this particular day we three children had been carefully dressed in our little white woolen frocks and our heavy white knitted stockings. I remember I was especially enthusiastic over my beautiful. shiny, new shoes which had silky red tassels dangling from the tops. My tall ruddy-haired L’ncle Peter, whom 1 adored with all the ardor of a five-vear-old. swung me up on his broad shoulders and said tcasingly “Now, where do you think you are going today, little Tow-head ? And 1 shouted gleefully: “Til Byen! Til Byen!” Which all meant that we were going to Chistiania, our home city, for the seventeenth-of-May Festival, which is a gala day in Xorwav. The broad streets of the capital were filled with gaily dressed people: soldiers marched stiffly by to the music of a national air played by the band. Rollicking sailors swung past with their sweethearts clinging to their arms: every where the sidewalks were thronged with busily gossiping men and women, with laughing children joyously waving flags, and with rosy cheeked, mischievous boys who were having a great time teasing the girls, tagging the band and admiring the soldiers. On our way home in the afternoon, a little tired from the excitement. we were walking up a side street toward the palace. Mother was carrying my sleepy little sister, and 1 was clutching my older sister Margaret's hand. We met a very tall, dignified gentleman whose kind, grey-whiskered face smiled down at us. “What sweet children,” he said, and shook us all gravely by the hand. Mother flushed and smiled. Afterwards she told us it was King Oscar, who was in the habit of taking walks alone through the city. My next distinct memory is that I was in a ship which was pitching and tossing in a storm at sea. 1 was lying in an upper berth very sick and miserable. There 1 lay for a few days until mother wrapped me in a shawl and brought me up on deck where I was tucked into a big chair. I looked with wondering eyes at the great stretch of water, whose glittering waves danced as far as the eye could reach, until it merged into the blue of the sky. I was familiar with the sea for I had often watched for the big steamers from the harbor at home. Hut to be actually sailing on it! I was thrilled. My neighbor smilingly offered me a big orange and asked me who I was and where I was going. hereupon I glibly told her in return for the bribe, that I was six years old, that everybody called me “Lena” and that I was going to America where I had been born. This established friendly relations, and I remember Margaret and 1 consumed enormous quantities of oranges during the journey. After this I got a confused impression of long wearisome journeys in dusty trains and of traveling with people who spoke a strange language. We boarded another ship and finally steamed into the harbor of a city which mother called Duluth. Here we were met by a nice old couple whom mother instructed us to call “Grandma.” and Grandpa.” Wc went to their home, which was a big. white house high upon a hill, and ravenously consumed bowls of bread and milk. We soon became accustomed to our new surroundings, learning a little English every day and making friends among our neighbors. In this way the days passed quickly for me, each one exactly like the one preceding it. Hut one day loomed out in my mind very big and important. 'I bis was my first day at school. I clung trembling and expectant to Margaret's hand. 1 shall never forget the joy with which I strung brightly colored beads, together with a score or more of similarly occupied children. When I came home with eager tales concerning this new experience, 1 was met by an important looking, white-aproned person who carried a fluffy, white bundle in her arms. With finger to her lips she motioned me to look at this. When I. with open mouth and eyes, solemnly viewed the wriggling, little, red object disclosed to my view, she told me it was another little sister. This was a phenomenon my mind could not grasp at first, but finally accepted as a new and delightful plaything. I passed a happy childhood, quickly developing into a staunch, little American, like my comrades. I, with my sisters, spent my summers on Minnesota point, a peninsula whose sandy arm stretches into the hay from Duluth, and almost reaches Superior, on the Wisconsin shore. A large grove of wild cherry trees grew in hack of our cottage. One of the odors which is peculiarly associated with my childhood is that which was made when the sweet smell of the cherry blossoms mingled with the pungent smell of the pines which grew in tall splendor all along the point. On hot days when the sun beat down on the white sand, 1 loved to lie on the beach enjoying the breeze from the lake, and to draw in with ecstatic gulps the indescribably sweet, spring fragrance. I was a freshman in High School when I came to Kan Claire, my birthplace. My grandmother wished to live in the city where her children are buried and where most of her friends lived and died. I stayed with her and finished my course at the High School. The four years I spent there were quite uneventful. I grew up into a quiet, ordinary person like almost every other girl there, distinguishing mvself not at all. so absorbed in my own affairs that I made few friends. I was shy and always wore an expression of extreme sullenness: consequently I was markedly avoided, and I spent a lone’y girlhood. My one delight was reading, but as I had no one to guide me in my choice of books, my journey in the world of literature was fearfully zig-zag: sometimes frivolously off into a country of best-sellers, and again into one in which I found the wholesome delight of Dickens or Thackeray. The only event which I can characterize as being of any importance is mv teaching experience in North Dakota last winter. Not having learned the methods of teaching and not being blessed with natural teaching ability, my struggle with twelve, unkempt, dirty, ragged. little Russian offsprings of immigrant parents is fearful ami wonderful to remember. Caged in a little box of a room which was heated by a rickety old stove, stationed in the center of it: facing those twelve unamericanized citizens of North Dakota. I was many times almost persuaded to give up. But when springtime came I was filled with a glad satisfaction because 1 had stayed and had not been a “quitter.” If my pupils had not learned much, I myself, bad learned one big lesson, not to leave a thing unfinished when once begun. H. D. TO THE EAU CLAIRE NORMAL SCHOOL. There’s a long. long, trail a-winding To our Alma Mater dear.

Two Weeks “Well for the love of---: wouldn't you know that a girl from the little home town, whom I asked for decency’s sake would get out of her measles bed to come?’ “So sweet of you to ask me, and I’m sure I'll he well enough to dance all rightmimicked the Important Junior of Mrs. Black's hoarding house for aristocracy's sons. “Now if you'll tell me about it, I'll look it over, and pass judgment, remarked his room-mate from behind a shaving stand. “Well, you remember the conventional house party I wrote about last summer? Well, the folks thought it would be nice if I asked Mae Summers, the hostess of that week of agony, up to the Junior Ball. I had asked Cele last fall, hut my kid brother tipped me off that Mac had had mumps, then measles and would refuse if I did ask her. I though the chance worth taking; sent her the proper invitation: and now sec what I drew in the morning’s mail, a sweet and girlish acceptance. “Sorry you’re in so wrong—maybe Cele would go with me— No—well. I’m off for drill,—so long, and his roommate slammed the door. The Junior writhed and groaned as he left for the lecture hall, where he made a few scratches to imply interest in note-taking. He shuffled his brain for excuses: lie couldn’t ask some other man to take Mae—he’d he queered with the family for life—and as for shifting Cele another partner—cold blood coursed through his veins and heat Hashes overcame him as he thought of the boldness of the idea. For nine months he had chased after her, and was now the victor. The party was two weeks off. something had to turn up. Within the next week he complained of chills, and paid three visits to as many doctors, begging them to diagnose his case. One pronounced “over-excited nerves. The others, less hopeful, sentenced him with “perfect health. No hope at a dentist’s—his wisdom teeth were pulled two years ago. One week slipped by and four days of the second. A letter from home assured him that Mac would he suitably dressed for the hall, that her new clothes wrere the talk of the village. He wras raging. To himself he said. “I'll come home early tonight, think it over carefully with due consideration to both girls, and do my duty in the morning. So much for self-made resolutions. That night he lent his presence to a smoker and djd not present himself for sleep at Mrs. Black’s residence. During the day he attended classes intermitent-ly ; his troubles now were physical tortures, not mental. Gone were the solutions to his weighty social problem. Wearily he turned to his room at dark, dinging himself on the bed face down, and shrouding his head with pfllows. Sleep came, went, he dreamt, caught the iron bars of the bed and shook them weakly. From somewhere came pounding, no matter, he was too sleepy; more pounding: nearby voice came to disturb him. “Telegram for the Junior, telegram for the Junior!” Someone threw off the pillows and some water on him. The Junior arose blubbering anti grabbed the yellow envelope. “Billy has measles, quarantined, can't come, very sorry— VI With a blood-curdling yell he kicked the intruders out of the door, and once more (lived under the pillows to make up in one night two weeks of sleep. Yes. indeed it is true. Spring is really here. How do 1 know? Why just because the steady croak, croak of the frog comes floating in the wide-open windows. Margaret Dittmer comes to school wearing a light skirt and a pretty new apple-green coat. Frances Brooks returned from the Granton trip wearing a gay pink suit and a black and brown straw hat. The grass is peeping throughUhe ground and Mrs. Fitzgerald has erected a high fence from her yard to the river to keep the normal school students from tramping down the precious green. Hud and Merle even sit at the same table in the cafeteria and Carl Berg and Ruby Sum! hold short conferences daily, just before the beginning of the sixth period, in the south hall. Showers come and go so quickly that Lcttie Beaton is compelled to don a pair of gym slippers and carry her white kid shoes neatly wrapped in paper towels to her home. Can we not call this a welcome sign of spring? Yes, it must be admitted with all these signs that spring has come and come to stay. Arrival FLVA VAN GORDON. Eleven Fifty-Five “Oli,” groaned Ed. Collins, “every time 1 think of that ten o'clock physics quiz, I gel a pain.’ “You have my sympathy, answered Percy Pendergast. “I have been trying to remember a few formulas and the electro-chemical equivalent of this and that, and I’m making a sorry mess of it. Do you expect to get a passing grade? “Me get through? asked Collins in surprise. “Say, my chances of getting through are about as good as the camel’s arc of getting through the needle's eye. If I don't flunk, this little old Princeton U. ought to celebrate for a week. “By Jove, you are the pessimistic person, remarked Pender-gast. “But I’m in the same boat. I expect to flunk with you. “Say. that’s the second clean shirt you have put on inside of three days, said Collins, changing the subject as he noticed Pen-dergast pick up a new shirt from his dresser. “Clean cuffs and all. I’ll bet your laundry bill this week will look like a treasurer's report. Hello there, Billy Taylor, come in. What’s the cause of your early maneuvers?” “Say fellows, have you heard. began Taylor excitedly. “Walker and Williams have been canned for cribbing? Caught in Frig yesterday. Had their cuffs all covered with figures, formulas I guess. Other Profs, on the lookout for any crooked work in today’s quizzes. So long, see you in thirty days. “What do you know about that,” remarked Collins, soberly. “Nobody’s fault but their own, so it’s not our funeral. What time is it anyway. Perc? You generally have the time around you some place.” “Ten minutes to eight, answered Pendergast. .“Breakfast due m five minutes. “Beat you to it, challenged Collins as he made a wild dash for the door. Pendergast followed. Pate, kind or otherwise, had thrown these two oddly different characters together as room-mates while they were attending Princeton University. Collins was the star second baseman of the ' arsity nine. Pendergast was an Englishman, swiftly becoming Americanized, although still retaining some of bis English peculiarities. His boast was that bis styles and fads were direct from London. Ten o’clock found a group of about forty students including Collins and Pendergast, in Professor Mitchell’s Physics lecture room, ready to begin the semester’s final examination. Pendergast had selected a chair near the rear of the room. Collins was sitting a short distance ahead of him. “I hope.” began Professor Mitchell, “that the example of the two young men expelled from school today will be warning enough to all present that any unfair tactics used in writing this examination will result in a like expulsion. I do not think it is necessary to warn you. but 1 have been instructed to watch very carefully for any suspicious actions on the part of the students writing examinations, and 1 ask of you to observe our rules against illegal assistance.” During the next hour and three-quarters the only sound in the room was the scratching of pens upon paper. Professor Mitchell was sitting behind his desk, idly looking over the students busily engaged in writing. With a jerk he sat upright in his chair. The queer actions of Pendergast had caught his attention. The Englishman had lowered his arm into his lap and was seen to give his coat sleeve a quick upward jerk. A hasty glance downward—a quick movement replacing the sleeve—and then a rapid continuation of writing completed the operation. A few' minutes later Pendergast repeated the movements. Professor Mitchell arose slowdy to his feet. “It can't be,” muttered Professor Mitchell to himself. “Pendergast is too honest a fellow to stoop to anything like that. That ‘cuff stunt' is too old for even an Englishman to use. If it happens again I'll see if he's cribbing or not, he reflected, almost fiercely. Upon the next suspicious movement of Pendergast, Professor Mitchell strode swiftly down the aisle to Pendergast’s seat. Grasping the fellow none too gently by the shoulder he said gravely. “Mr. Pendergast, will you kindly show me the information you are getting from your left arm?” “Why—why, certainly, sir,” said Pendergast, very much surprised. Drawing back his coat sleeve he revealed a perfectly clean cuff, but strapped upon his wrist W'as a beautiful little gold watch. “It is now five minutes to twelve,” explained Pendergast. “I’ll have to hurry if I am to finish this quiz by twelve o’clock.” A. C. REGLI. Sing birdie sing, For this is merry spring, The sun is putting forth its glow And all the flowers know Tis time to grow and grow. —Cecil llahn, 4th Grade. The Prisoner A horrible yell penetrated the still New England woods. Little John Harden, who had been picking and) eating wild berries in the woods, looked up in surprise, but did not seem to realize danger was near. As the warlike band of Indians, sending forth bloodcurdling shrieks, pushed through the bushes, John gave one scream, and then started off. On he went, climbing over old fallen trees, forcing his way through thick brush, and sometimes sinking to his ankles in the soft, boggy ground. In vain John tried to escape; the Indians knew the woods well, and he was soon surrounded by the band of howling warriors. When John1 saw there was no way of escape, he sank down on an old log and looked around at the blanket-draped forms and paint-streaked faces. After the struggling and shrieking John had been bound to a nearby tree, the warriors held council and decided to take the prisoner’s scalp. One by one the solemn warriors fell into line and danced and yelled around their poor little prisoner. Then with his scalping knife the chief approached John, who with one swift twist of his strong little body, broke the cord which bound his hands to the tree in back of him. Putting his hands on top of his curlv, brown head, he cried out, “Jimmie Harden, yer not a gonna scalp me. yer not.” Jimmie, the chief, holding his jack-knife in his upraised hand, dropped his arm to his side, and glared in wratli at his prisoner for a moment. Then he burst out angrily. “Well, yer a fine prisoner ain't yuh ? Didn’t vuh say you’d let me cut the top of your hair off for a scalp if I’d let yuh play Indian with our gang? ’ Then the prisoner sobbed out his explanation. “Well, ain’t I gotta be George Washington in the play at school, and he didn’t have any scalped head did lie?” GLADYS LARSEN. SIGNS OF SPRING. ’Tis Spring! ’Tis Spring again, As sing tin robin and chirping wren. Scents of flowers sweeten the air, And twittering music, oh so rare! List! the soft pattering of showering rain. Falls upon hill and meadow and lane. A hurst of golden sunshine, the shower is o’er, And all the world is bright once more. —Esther Jacobson, 6th Grade. Let Us Be Loyal There are people in our school who get out and cheer at the basketball games, who boost for the oratorical contests, and who show their spirit and enthusiasm by attending the social functions held at school. The very presence of this kind of people in the school room is cheerful and optimistic. These people are the live wires, and fortunately most of the pupils of the Eau Claire Normal School are this kind of people. However, as in every school there are some people who never attend a basketball game, who dislike oratorical work, who refuse to lend a helping hand, because pressing engagements always seem to be calling them. But the Eau Claire Normal School is not lacking in spirit. In fact it has more than some schools twice its size. From the remarks that some people have made, school spirit is evidently measured by the amount of noise made by the student body. Do people expect a crowd of girls to give a yell with the same effect that an equal number of boys could produce? Of course we all know that this could not be done, but there are many other ways in which we can prove to the public that we are really alive. What a really splendid chance we have to make a reputation for our school. Let us make that reputation a good one. Our Normal School will be judged by our conduct both in school and elsewhere. It rests with us to have it judged rightly If privately we sneer at school organizations, we help to destroy the reputation of our school. Let us stand by our Normal whether winning or losing in what we undertake. Let it be said that when we are not winners we are game losers. Loyalty means to uphold. By all means, let us be loyal to our school, for our school has its whole life ahead of it, and we are the ones to give it a good start. SIGNS OF SPRING. Oh spring! Oh spring 1 Oh glorious spring, The season that is ever known to bring The singing birds and beautiful flowers, Back to their home, this land of ours. The timid bluebird and the chattering wren, Arc sitting on their nests again; The redbreasted robin calls for rain, As he flutters down the wooded lane. —Merrill h'arr, 6lh Grade.

Fat and the world eats with you. Fast and you fast alone. 'l o cat is human. To digest —divine. Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can chew today. While there’s life there's appetite. If you don't fill up at first— try, try again. If your soup is so hot that it burns you. gartdc it in the hack of your throat for a little while. Don't try to hide it in your napkin. If you bite your tongue, don’t hasten to utter a bunch of bluish idioms. It isn’t nice. Just let your tongue hang gracefully out of the corner of vour mouth for a few minutes, until it has ceased being angry with you for having bitten it. In this delicate way you can apprise the people of your misfortune. When pie is served, eat the hide as well as the stuffing. Discussing ventilation.
