ROBINSON 6 FOREWORD OW that the reader has gone all thru “The Quiver” and turned back to the foreword—for we take it that he is human—he may expect apologies for this publication. But no. we do not offer excuses for work done to the best of our ability. We believe that this book will stand for itself; will tell its own story of work and worry in its composition—compilation we might say—and in its business management. We will not beg of our readers to remember the difficulties under which we labored, for we know that all those who had to do with “The Quivers of former years, in manner other than paying their share of the expense, will extend to us their sympathy, and to those not so unfortunate it is useless to offer apologies and impossible to explain. And yet we should like to give to those students who are wondering at the taxes levied by “The Quiver” management, or who arc asking when the Staff is going to declare dividends, some idea of the difficulty of keeping the expense of publishing an annual like this within the receipts. We might write a long story of the woes of the business managers; of their difficulty in securing advertisements, of their efforts to get a large list of subscribers, of their troubles in keeping down the expenses, and finally of their trials and tribulations in collecting the moneys. But we will not do that. . We will simply ask our readers to remember their own experience in trying to make a little money go a long way. Then again we might tell the story of the making of “The Quiver”—of the beginning in the election of a staff, and of the first hopes and aspirations of this body the poets, the humorist, the artists, business managers, and editors—of the early start upon the table of contents, and how our hopes were blasted as we were forced to settle down to cold facts and figures and reckon in days and weeks, dollars and cents—so many pages to be filled, so much money for engraving well, if the reader cares to hear the rest we must refer him to page 145. But all of our trouble has not been without its compensation. Chief among the pleasures we experience is the thought of how well the students have stood by us in our efforts to publish “The Quiver” for 1902. And we wish now to thank all buyers of this annual, feeling sure that they will not begrudge the money so spent. We would also thank the societies for their promptness in allowing the tax levied for their pictures. And we are grateful to those teachers and students who have contributed matter for the betterment of “The Quiver.” But what is it that makes “The Quiver” worth all this work and worry, one may ask? It is the fact that the book has a peculiar value of its own. It is the annual publication designed to portray student-life from a student’s point of view. We have other publications in the school but they do not picture our experiences as does “The Quiver.” The catalog is the official document of the school to which one goes for information regarding entrance requirements, extent of course, or expense incurred; the “Normal Advance is the perodical which gives the news of the school from month to month; the 7 “Hand-book” is a sort of bureau of information prepared for ready reference. But “The Quiver” is an old treasure trunk containing portraits of old associates in familiar groupings, which tell in their mute way how friendship's cord bound heart to heart; etchings the product of hands we’ve clasped with hearty grasp; and bright thoughts of minds with which we have closed in friendly combat. As the real value of a friend is seldom realized until that friend is gone from us, so we shall never appreciate this “Quiver” until its pages are old and musty and many of our friends, whose portraits we find here, are with us no more. This volume will grow more and more interesting as the years roll on. Just as a traveler who has journeyed in the eastern countries loves to sit down in after years and muse over his past-goes to pyramids once more, secs the grand mausoleums, sits in the shade of the great cedars, and breathes the balmy air of the Orient so we, in musing over the pages “The Quiver”, shall live again our school-days. 8 9 Board of Regents OF NORMAL SCHOOLS.

Very fitting and proper is it that we should, for many are the privileges now enjoyed by us. due to your most persistent labor. Many of you were in the Normal when it was undergoing changes. You it was that published the first Normal Advance; established the system of self-government; edited the initial Quiver; and wrote the first examination under the present plan. To your nobleness in purpose in co-operation with the faculty was it due that these enterprises proved a success. Such are some of your accomplishments while at school; but these are far surpassed in their greatness by achievements in the teaching profession. Here your attainments have made the Oshkosh Normal a highly recognized factor in the educational interests of not only Wisconsin, but the United States. Your stirring personality is found in the College; in the High School; and in that most exalted of all institutions, “The Common School. Wherever you have gone, almost without exception, you have done honor to the White and the Gold. Hut the schools alone can not claim all of our noted Members of the Alumni. Turn to law; turn to medicine; turn to the bank; and to many other professions, and you will find in them, many of our graduates. Here. too. they are lifting high the banners their professions. Our Normal School owes much of its advancement to the Alumni. No catalogs of advertising; no letters of recommendation; and no personal testimonials, are ecjual in their intent to your honesty, loyalty, and enthusiasm, as you tread the paths of your calling. In the Alumni, indeed, lies the life of our dear Alma Mater, and as it, aglow with energy, lets fall its life-giving light on us, the Junior Class, we cannot help but pay tribute to those who have promoted its growth and development. MISS SARAH A. DYNES Sarah A. Dynes graduated from the Advanced Course of the Oshkosh State Normal School in June. 1888. The following year she was assistant in the High School at Ironwood. Michigan. In the spring of that same year she resigned her position at Iron-wood to accept an appointment in the faculty of the Oshkosh Normal. She continued a member of the faculty from April of ’89 until June of 92. In September of 92 she entered Cornell University and graduated from that institution in June of '94. taking the degree of Ph. H. In September of ’94 she entered upon graduate study leading to the degree of Ph. D. Her major subject was Modern History, her first minor. Political Science, her second minor. French Literature. In ’95 she accepted a position in the State Normal School, located at Trenton, New Jersey. In June of '00 she was given a year’s leave of absence for European travel. During the year she visited England, Italy. Egvpt. Palestine. Greece, and France. She resumed her work as head of the department of History and Civics” in September. 1901. Her assistant in that department is a 17 Vassar graduate and a graduate of the State School at Trenton also. Miss Dynes has visited the Oshkosh Normal once since 92. on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary. and hopes to attend the lumni meeting in June of '02. ELD WARD McLOUGHLIN Edward McLoughlin was born in Troy, New York, in 1852. His parents migrated to Rosendale. Fond du Lac county. W isconsin, in 1885. and there he was brought up amid all the trials and hardships of a pioneer farm life. Ilis father died in 1856, leaving the mother and three children, of whom Edward was the oldest, to fight the battle of existence. When old enough he attended the district school, two and a half miles from his home. As soon as he was able to work he was obliged to help on the farm, and after that his schooling was limited to four months the winter term—every year. He was always assiduous in his studies, always ambitious to excel, and. as a result of earnest and extra work at school and at home, he received his first teacher’s certificate when sixteen years old. The following winter lie attended the bond du I.ac High School, and taught his fust school the next summer in his home district, for $24 a month. During the next three years he taught district schools in the winters, attended High school springs and falls, and worked on the farm summers. He entered the Oshkosh Normal School in the spring of 1872. and graduated with the first class in 1875. In January. 1876. he became principal of the New London High School and held that position until January, 1S78. when he resigned to accept the county superintendence of Eond du Lac county. He held the superintendency eight years, declining further re-election to enter journalism. He was editor and half-proprietor of the Eond du Lac Journal three years, relinquishing both positions because lie could not secure entire proprietary control. He then took up the study of medicine, graduating from Rush Medical College. Chicago, in rpoo. as valedictorian of his class. He practiced medicine two years in the city of Fond du Lac. and then abandoned it to accept the principalship of the Fond du Lac High School and supcrintency of the city schools, which positions he held two years and until he went to accept a school principalship in Chicago. In 1885 he was nominated for State Superintendent of Public Instruction of Wisconsin by the Democratic party, and. with one exception, led his ticket, running several thousand votes ahead of his colleagues. He was elected mayor of Fond du Lac in the spring of 1892. resigning in September to assume the school duties in that city, referred to above. During the eleven years of his county superintendency and editorship, he served as state conductor of teachers’ institutes. receiving his appointment annually from the state superintendent. He was twice a member of committees to visit Normal Schools. In i8 o lie declined to be a candidate for state superintendent, preferring a professional career, upon which he had just entered. to political preferment. His party was successful that year.and had he accepted the tendered honor, he would have been at the head of educational work of the state four years. Mr. McLoughlin went to Chicago in January, 1895. to accept the principalship of the Herman Raster school. He held that position until January, 1901, when he was promoted to the principalship of the Dewey school, the finest and most completely equipped school building in that city. Mr. McLoughlin is a natural and therefore a successful teacher. He is a close student of educational history, thought, and activity, and his sympathies in school work are broad and, at the same time. deep. Aside from his regular school duties lie is a diligent and discriminating student of political and economical history, literature, and the sciences. His hobby, if he has one. is literature, in which he has read widely and methodically. He is familiar with most that is good and stimulating in English and American literature, and while partial to the great masters of the past, he finds time to read and contemplate the best writers of the present. Mr. McLoughlin has enriched his mind by extensive travel. A few years ago he spent several months in the British Isles and Western Europe, and he is personally acquainted with everv section and nearly every state in the United States. He was married in 1885 to Miss Katherine Mulvev, one of the most successful teachers in Fowl du Lac countv. They have a pleasant and happy family of two daughters and one son. and live in their own comfortable and charming home in Englewood, Chicago. Besides a lively professional spirit. Mr. McLoughlin possesses good business ability. and by prudent and judicious investments he has acquired a financial competency that places him bevond the reach of want or worry. A LETTER TO THE “QUIVER” Editors- of “The Quiver: —The invitation to contribute a letter to “The Quiver” came to me as a very pleasant surprise. 1 do not feel that I have any thoughts that will be of especial value to the present generation of Normal students, but to be given the opportunity to again take an active part in the student life of the Normal, even for a little time, helps one “to renew his youth,” as it were, and brings back memories of days that were wholly good—days filled to the brim with hard work. and. as it seemed then, sometimes filled almost to the brim with trials and vexation of spirit, but as now seen through the vista of a decade and more of years gone by, they were the days when the real and the good in life were first making themselves known to a soul hungry for just those things, and that makes them, not better than the days which have come since, but withal, very pleasant to think upon. As I sit by my window this beautiful spring morning, memory takes me back to a similar morning, in April, (I think it was the nth), 1888. On that morning I returned to the Normal after a two years’ absence in teaching school in the country. I thought my plans, so far as my school life was concerned, were fully settled. That was to be mv last term in school, for T was getting too old to go to school. Life was too short to spend any more time in getting ready to live. I wished to get out into the world and really live. But these plans were changed before the end of the term. The reason for changing my plans was that I fell in love during the term with the study of Geometry and Miss Webster’s way of teaching it. And when school closed in June. I felt “that I must go to the end, I must know what comes after.” 19 During the following long vacation, I reasoned myself into the belief, which has stayed with me since, that we have no right to consider our student years as a mere getting ready to live,” and the years which follow as the real life. Every year, in school or out. should he a getting ready to live.” and at the same time every year should he made a part of real life. If young men could get this thought firmly in mind, 1 think some of them might not he in such a hurry to bring their student years to a close. When September of the year mentioned came. I felt, the temple hells are calling. and it's there that I would he”—I learned many a valuable lesson during those years, and the above was not the least among them, for it made me contented to prolong my student days. Equally valuable was a lesson which never fully formulated itself in my mind until near the end of my Senior year, and seems to have come more especially in connection with my work in Psychology with President Albce. ft was something as follows: The human race naturally loves life, and it is commonly considered desirable to live many years. Put to one who loves life and longs for life more abundantly.” length is not the most important dimension. That which is of highest importance may he thought of as the cubical contents of life. Length is desirable only when there is also height and depth and breadth of living. That which is worth being concerned about is that we live each day with high aspirations, and with deep and broad sympathies. If this be done it makes little difference whether the years an individual passes in the particular cvcle we call life be few or many. It a soul lives on the highest level which it is able to reach, and with the deepest and broadest sympathies it is capable of. it has done all it can. 1 thank the editors of The Quiver” for this opportunity. Fraternally yours. A. B. O'NEIL. 20 History of the Senior Class I'rtfiJtnl, I ’ • ■ I'rrtiJtml, Sttr lary, Trtusurtr, . IlKNMV N. Boddkn Evoknik Wiksk WlNIFMKD A. R«k T AKIIII'K V. lloUTUM COLORS. Cardinal And it came to pass in the beginning of the twentieth century, that a strong and mighty Senior class arose in the Oshkosh Normal School. Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of the Germans, were one score and live noble and stalwart men. besides the fifty and six beautiful maids and maidens. Those that were numbered of them according to the years in which they were born, were twenty years old and upwards. and all able to go forth to battle in the world. In their midst there were men of mighty strength and valor, men of wit and humor, debators for all the vast assembly, orators for the contest, sweet singers for the spring ami the winter, and both men and women pleasing to the eye and goodly to look upon. Some were small of stature and some had reached the height of live feet and fourteen inches: but the intellect of every one that entered into the service of this class is keen and bright and the fulness thereof: the power and the thoughts that dwell therein are not known. And. behold, there came up out of the Normal School, three other classes, the Ju-liors. the Sophomores, and the Freshmen. They were well favored and fat-fleshed and fed from the meat thrown from the teachers’ tables. Ami it came to pass in the tenth month in the year of our Lord, 1901, that these three classes rose up against the Seniors. And all of the host of the enemy numbered four hundred and two score and six and they occupied the plains of the Combination Park. And the president of the Senior Class said unto them. “Ye are come up unto the mountain of the enemy. Behold, the land is set before thee: go up and possess it. Fear not. neither be discouraged, for Victory is with thee.'' And the maidens of the Class came near unto the enemy and said. “We. will send men before us and we will cheer them with out shouts and our yells and they will bring 11s Victory! Victory!! ” Then all the children of the Normal and all the students and all the faculty went up and came to the Combination Park, and played upon instruments called megaphones and upon tin horns and shouted; and sat there before the battle, and fasted that day until even, and after the war was past. all. with one accord, came down and offered congratulations to that great and mighty class. Now it came to pass when all the class enemies were conquered that the leader of the Seniors spake unto them, saying. “Take ye hence out of your midst five men and 22 1 ye command them saying, two nights of every week, go ye into the Gymnasium and with the great ball which lietli in the basket, practice the game of Basket Ball. Ye shall stand with firm feet on the slippery Gymnasium floor and ye shall not hug the ball; but verily, verily we say unto thee. ‘Throw all the balls ye can into your own basket.’ ” And it was that on the twentieth day of the second month of the year 1902 that these five representatives met five representatives of the faculty. And they gave the Seniors the victory of that game for an inheritance, and all cried with loud voices. “It is marvelous in our eyes.” And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from the Oshkosh Normal School that each Senior class should give a reception to each Junior class. Now. after the custom of those days this Senior class received the Juniors. And they sent forth invitations to call them that were bidden to the reception. And it came to pass at the beginning of the second quarter when the Juniors were come up to the reception that the Seniors cried with loud voices, “Hear. O Juniors, thou art to pass through . Hades this night; to go in to see ghosts greater and mightier than thyself, gypsies whose campfires burn with a brightness like unto that of the star of the morning and around these campfires thou shalt know thy fortunes.” So the Juniors turned and came down the long, dark corridors, climbed the stairs leading unto the mount of the gypsies, and there found a land laden with cake and ice cream. When the night was far spent, the Juniors separated themselves from the Seniors and spake unto them, saying: We know that thou art a class mightier and greater than we.” GKNKVIKVK BARRON.

There Voge 87 “A Trip Thru Hades” The Seniors took the Juniors on a trip Thru Hades The long walk in the dark did scare The Ladies. Tho’ skeletons around did crawl. They did not dare to shout nor call For fear the boys would say they all Were babies. The boys went thru without a shake Or shiver. They swear by all that's good, they felt No quiver. The clanking chains they pierced the air. But did not even raise a hair. Those big brave boys, one could not scare. No, “niver.” The Faculty all took the trip So quiet. They did not. any of them, care to Die yet. They felt a weakness in the knees But were too frightened e'en to sneeze For fear some ghostly form would seize Them tig(e)ht. They all passed on thru Hades Into glory. And landed in the very topmost Story. Many were the fortunes told While sweetest music round them rolled They supped on sweetness sliced off cold. 'Twas good, begorry! 38 I Junior Class it Junior Class Pr tiJtmt. I 'let- I’rtriAtml, Strr I.try, Trtatmrrr, Kkank K. Kkokiii.icii Lawkkxce Johnson Kkktiia Hkwitt Waltkk J. Condy Colons, Vatt Rlut amJ GoU Self praise is allowable in soldiers, students about to graduate, and infants: but as the majority of us. being ladies, do not even aspire to be soldiers, and as our graduation is still a thing of the more or less remote future; and as we claim to have left infancy in the more or less remote past, it would he unseemly for us to use this space in attempting to set forth our virtues. Our works shall praise us. our teachers shall praise us. our admirers shall praise us: but lest any should think that we have reached a state of absolute perfection, we shall modestly enumerate a few of the weights which have been suspended from our wings to prevent the class from ascending bodily and leaving a dismal void where the class of 03 ought to be. Because of our virtues, any faults found by introspection look grievous to us. We hope the faults mentioned will seem trifling to you. Some of the young men seem to be unduly interested in “Child's study, in fact, in ladies’ study: but as this is not exclusively a Junior fault, perhaps it is unjust to mention it here. It may seem “strange. but not infrequently since the departure of the Senior girls left the Juniors lords of the ladies’ study, they being puffed up. re“joycc” that they are not as the Sophomores and Freshmen are; and the members of the self-government committee must be as savage as a wolf or as cunning as a “fox” to impress them that the self-government system is a democratic institution and all people are equal before the law. even those who sit in the center of the parish.” There is another fault the Juniors arc guiltv of. When a noise is heard in the rear of the room, they will “crane their necks, but this doesn’t appear as bad as it otherwise would, because swan” necks are made “Cordv for that purpose. Such are we—omitting our virtues. Next June we will be heard from again and if you are interested to know what becomes of us. you may watch and you will behold us take our flight, our weights being at last freed from all weights. If you should desire to know what next, watch the country newspapers. 41 Sophomore Class 1Q02 Sophomore Class 1902 I'r tiJtml, ..... W. W. Kastkn Kfiv Pr nJfHt, ..... Oi.ivk AnnoTT Stfrthtry, .... Cmaklottk Rkinhakd 7V w« w, ..... Ik vim: Howi.ktt Rickcrty. rackcrty, rickcrty roar! We’re the class of 1904! Ves, and there arc eighty six of us—eighty-six bright, intelligent, wide-awake individuals. Always ready for work or fun, when duty calls, we can do either one. True, we cannot boast of any great social events, but let it not be inferred from this that we are unsociable, but rather, that we have been too studious to spend the time which is necessary for the planning of these events. When duty calls each member responds at once to show his class spirit. This was shown by the number of members who came out to witness the foot-ball games last fall, and to cheer for the Sophomores, thus helping them win laurels. Altho we take great pride in speaking of our victory, we do not try to place ourselves above the other classes of the school. Every movement of the school has been warmly supported by the Sophomore class. Each member has made it his or her duty to respond to every just cause, thus showing his school spirit. We are a class of workers. Our aim is to do our very best in everything that adds to our development—intellectually, physically, socially, and morally. We are striving to leave in this school a record which may not only be a credit to ourselves, but may also be a set standard to guide the aspirations of future classes. We arc looking forward to the duties and responsibilities that we arc to meet in our work of the Junior year, not with a longing to excel the record of former classes, but with the same sense of duty that has characterized our work this vear. We mean to meet our duties squarely, honestly, and with firm determination to succeed. With that ideal in view, we shall be able to accomplish great deeds. 43 The Class of 905 The Class of 1905 I'rttUrul, ...... Jamks B. Mann VUt-Pret kit ml, ..... Hammy Ai.lkn Sftrttary, ..... Emma Much HKM .KM Trtatmrtr, ..... Catiikmink Dolan The First Year class of 1901-02 has gone through all the introductory iorms and ceremonies connected with entering the Normal School. Answers to questions as to our age. residence, past life, and future intentions have been recorded on the Matriculation blanks. Declarations of intention to teach have been duly signed and sealed, and we have each become members of the family of one of the faculty. Being a large class we take up quite a space in the school, and we have hoped to give the idea of quality as well as quantity. Judging from some of the work we have accomplished we think we have the right to feel fairly confident that our hopes are realized. Our first appearance in the social life f the school was at the reception given by the S. C. A. to welcome the new students to the school. Here we formed many acquaintances. which have since ripened into hearty friendships. The first social event to come off under the guidance of the Freshman class was the social given to the Sophomores by the First Years; at this social, in spite of the brags of some of the Freshics, that they would keep good Holt of the cake, it mysteriously disappeared and the unhappy band had to get more. Nevertheless, the social was a decided success and all attending reported a good time and plenty to cat. Class foot ball teams were the next to call the attention of the school, so of course we had to have one. A team was organized, which, with a Mann for a captain, at least held up the honors of the class; for it was conquered only after a Noble fight. Besides this, we have journeyed around and through the earth successfully with Professor Mitchell, passed calmly through fire and flood with Miss Kimball, and theorized with Professor Tretticn. All this wo have been through with fair honors, and although at times things have looked Rilcv and we have not always been able to please (Mrs.) Grundy, we hope to make a Strong, “Morrill” Sophomore class for next year. F.. W. 46 Ninth Crude Graduating C iss Ninth Grade Graduating Class This class, consisting of thirty-five members, was the largest one ever promoted from the Training Department. It was made up of twenty-six girls and nine boys. Ten of the class took their training in this institution from the primary department, while others joined the ranks in the intermediate and lower grammar grades. After the burning of the high school building the class had an increase of seven members from the Ninth A of that school, all of whom proved to be valuable members. Tho the class represented many different schools, still there was a pleasant class spirit existing among the members. In October of last year a club called the McKinley Club was organized for literary and social purposes. This club held meetings one in two or three weeks at the homes of the different members and was entertained by groups of threes. The lives of the Presidents and the literature of the historical program presented for graduation were the topics for study. Many pleasant and profitable evenings were spent together. Most of the class have entered upon work in the Normal Department, and it is expected they will be a credit to themselves and to the school. The graduating exercises consisted of the following program, omitting the names of those who took part: Columbia’s Presentation of Some of Her Famous Dames and Daughters of Colonial and Revolutionary Days, Followed by Reigen. Boy's Song—“To Fatherland,” Music by Henry Woller; Words by Daniel Phillips. Play—“John Bndicott,” “The Quaker Trial, (Longfellow.) Acr III, Scknk I. Piano Duct—“America Forever. Play—“The May Pole of Merry Mount. {Hawthorne.) Play—Scene from A Little Revolutionary Dame. {A. C. Sage.) Scene from Old Revolutionary Days—Dancing the Minuet. Presentation of Certificates by Pres. R. H. Halsey. Song— Sail on. Columbia,” (IV. E. Anderson), Class. Music—Grammar Room Orchestra, led by Mr. Frank J. Clark. w 48 The Lyceum ‘ i r — The Lyceum Streaming high in the air. Fairest of all the fair, Lyceum's banner waves. Proclaiming to the world Our love, our love for dear Lyceum. And in the future, may this banner lead her on to victories as grand and glorious as those of the past. Recognizing the earnestness and steadfastness of purpose which characterizes the Lyceum, at the beginning of the year large numbers applied for admission to the society and were welcomed by her old members. Lyceum is famed for her large attendance, due wholly to the programs presented, which have been both interesting and instructive. Debates on education, social, and economic questions of the day have been ably and forcibly discussed. Essays showing great ability in thought and composition, declamations well chosen and rendered, entertaining musical numbers, interesting talks pertaining to various subjects and reviews of standard books—these arc some of the commendable features of the regular work, which mark the progression of Lyceum. Not alone does her regular work show her strength and ability, but in oratory and debate she has proven her power to win. Although the representative of the Oshkosh Normal in the state oratorical contest this year was a member of no literary society, Lyceum’s orator won second place in the preliminary contest, showing that she has no rival in her sister societies. Tn the interstate debate of the past years with Normal. Illinois. Lyceum has been represented, and this year proves no exception. In the Lycetun-Philakcan debate of last year. Lyceum accepted a defeat, “but the greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. so this year she hopes to gain a double victory—winning this year’s debate and rising above Inst year’s defeat. The Lincoln bust which has adorned the Lyceum hall this year has ever been a silent inspiration to her workers and may the presence of this noble form spur on to victory our representatives in the- Lyceum-Phocnix debate, and so retain it for another year. There is still another feature of Lyceum which is not unimportant. Realizing that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” occasionally the society plans a social hour enjoyed by all. and which will not be soon forgotten. There is no field of literary work into which Lyceum does not enter and so develops noble men and women capable of making records in whatever pursuit they may engage, as brilliant as those which arc found upon the pages of history of Lyceum’s society. 61 Phoenix • -i -A «K 3 Phoenix This is an age of organizations. Men in all walks of life are organizing for the promotion of their interests. Miners arc organized, bankers are organized, book companies are organized, and last but not least, the pedagogues have numerous organizations; in short, to be a good teacher one must be a good organizer, and possess the ability to discuss questions before an audience. The realization of this fact caused to be founded in the early history of the school a literary society known as the Protarean. At first only men were eligible to membership; but knowing that man’s best efforts are inspired by woman the doors were thrown open to her; she was invited to enter; and ever since the hall of the Phoenix has been graced by her presence. Usually when woman enters the domains of man a change of name is involved. This case was no exception, but instead of woman surrendering her inheritance, the society laid it on the altar of sacrifice. The work of the Phoenix reaches out in most all lines of literary activity. Its programs consist of recitations, declamations, impromptu talks, debates, and orations. Thus the questions of the day in sociology, economics, and kindred subjects are kept before the students’ minds, which, together with declamatory contests, mock trials. lectures. and dramas give the work a value impossible to estimate. Students have found that this work greatly enriches their school life and makes them more efficient teachers. That the society’s motto of. “Culture, not Show.” is adhered to is shown by its fruits. Twice members of the Phoenix have taken part in the Inter-Normal Oratorical contest; last year two of the team that debated with Illinois State Normal were Phoenicians; and this year the sacicty is equally represented on the team that debates Stevens Point Normal. Should you come here to school you can do no better than join the Phoenix, where equal rights and privileges are enjoyed by all. 53 Philakcan Philakean The worth of any organization depends upon the progress which she makes and the time required for making such progress. The Philakean can certainly boast of having made the greatest advancement in the shortest time of any society in school. In debate and parliamentary practice especially do her members excel. The strength of Philakean lies in her perfect organization, and in the close observances of the rules prescribed in her constitution. Regular attendance is secured by accepting only good and specific excuses from the absentees. The privilege of volunteering on debate and participating in parliamentary practice is given to all members at every meeting. And in order that each one may have the same privilege to appear on the program, the membership of the society is divided into six sections, and these sec tions succeed each other in a regular order in presenting programs. Committees have charge of all other work, and consequently it is done in a systematic and thoro manner. A debate constitutes one of the numbers on nearly every program. After the leaders have presented their arguments a large number of volunteers express their views on the disputed question. The debate is followed by book-reviews, declamations, or talks and impromptu talks. Resides the regular programs a preliminary declamatory contest and a mock trial were held during the school year. And at one meeting the society resolved itself into a House of Representatives of the L’nited States.” Different members represented dif feretit states. The discussions on the Nicaragua Canal Bill were instructive and exciting. Since last June many good members have been placed on the honorary list, but many promising recruits have been enlisted, and the ranks are now full and strong as before. Much might be said about the new members and more about the old members that would be to their credit, but space will only permit us to name a few of those who have been particularly honored during the past year. Messrs. Rcuthcr. Velte. and Hooton were chosen for the Philakcan-Lyceum Debate. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Gallagher arc members of the team which represents the school in the annual debate with Normal. 111. Mr. Heymann got first place in the Alethean-Philakean Declamatory Contest. But above all our able leaders. Mr. Stoops and Mr. Gallagher, especially deserve to be mentioned for the admirable way in which they conducted the meetings. President Gallagher was probably the most conservative and determined leader that ever occupied the Philakean chair. And the sagacious and active character of President Stoops did as much for the good of the society. 65 . Alcthcan Song {Air, Sweet Aftori) Wc hail thee, Alcthcan, thy banner we raise, Alcthcan, we’ll sing thee a song in thy praise. Thy motto is “Truth and thy purpose is true. Oh, hark to our song, we but give thee thy due. Our State is the fairest in all this broad land. Our School is the dearest of all of the “seven, Rut thou, O Alethean, art dearer than all. Thy name, our allegiance will ever recall. How sweet, O Alcthcan, to walk in thy halls. Where the footstep of man. to profane, never falls. Where woman may reign, and where woman may guide, What joy worth the name doth the world hold beside? Thy ranks we must leave as our school days go by.

Kaktkn Kowahii Am, bn (•KORGK 1‘klCK Frank Cordy Bkli.r Mu ms Fkrn Dollar IKvino Tiiackbry One of the permanent organizations of our school is the Students' Christian Association. which endeavors to make the Normal as homelike as possible for all students. With this aim in view, it furnishes a Xcw Students' Committee. which meets the trains at the beginning of the school year, and offers assistance in conducting new students to the school, and to rooms and boarding places: it publishes the Students' Handbook. which contains much valuable information and many useful suggestions concerning the school and the city of Oshkosh: it gives a reception at the beginning of each year, at which new and old students are made acquainted and welcomed to the family circle. During the Thanksgiving recess when those from a distance are obliged to stay in a city from which all Xormalites have sped, this organization comes to the rescue and furnishes amusement to cure any symptoms of homesickness. There is a Bureau of Information in connection with the association which is ready to give information in every way possible and to assist in finding work for those who desire it. The visiting committee endeavors to see that no one who is sick lacks care. But most important of all is the religious teaching, without which no home is complete. This is furnished by the Thursday evening meetings, at which Bible study and conferences are conducted by the members of the ladies' and men's branches of the association separately. The Sunday morning meetings, led by the various members of the faculty and pastors of the city, under the auspices of the association, turn the minds of the students from the labors of the week to communion with the ('.real Teacher. It is the aim of the association to deepen the spiritual lives of its own members and others bv assisting them to experience more of the real things of life. It endeavors to furnish to each student, regardless of sect or religious opinion, a means of gaining the benefits of religious instruction and the homelike feeling produced by cementing the bonds of friendship and companionship in a common work for The Creator. 69 The Self-Government System The Normal feels that its Self-Government System does as much toward the preparation of students for teachers as any organization of the school. It is a system which suggests the high ideals every teacher should hold of government in the school room. It prepares the student for teaching in giving him an opportunity to cultivate the power of governing himself and others. It indicates the high ideals of the faculty and students of the Normal. The plan of government as first adopted by the school consisted of a council only; but it has been found necessary to add a committee of fifteen. The nature of this modification presupposes opposition on the nart of a portion of those composing the system, yet it is supported and maintained by the mature and self-respecting students, and all take pride in belonging to an institution governed in this manner. The germs of self-control have spread. The Grammar Room has adopted a similar system. It is believed that the influence of the system will not stop here, but that the high ideals acquired, while participating in the work of this system, will be reproduced by its representatives in their respective fields of work. 60 I t 61 German Circle German Circle Is the German Circle an active, progressive society? He who makes this interrogation need attend but a single meeting of this organization to he convinced that it is fast accomplishing the noble purpose toward which it is striving. An account given of the German Circle’s first meeting of the year says. “The work of the Circle for the ensuing year promises to be the best of any in its history. This promise has been fulfilled in the extreme. A large number of earnest workers have been enrolled, who have raised it to a standard never before attained. Debates, declamations, essays, and talks are some of the commendable features of the work accomplished. And also in spelling contests has the brilliancy and intellectuality of the “Germans been apparent. About the nineteenth of December of this year, an unusual agitation was noticed thruout the Xormal. Ivvery one seemed interested in something unexceptionally exciting and entertaining. What was it? Why. the German Circle’s celebration of good St. Nicholas’ visit. You have certainly heard of that Christmas tree, for its fame has gone far and wide. 'Pin whistles ami horns have proclaimed its grandeur and magnificence until it exists as a brilliant sight in the imagination of every Xormalite. The annual play given by the German Circle this year was. as usual, a complete success. It consisted of two farces, entitled “Xein and Kin Knopf. The members who took part in this work showed much ability and earnest effort. Xo doubt the excellent spirit exhibited in the Circle this year has been due in large part to the musical numbers rendered and to the songs which have been sung by the entire society. In the aesthetic nature of each individual, they have found a responsive chord whose vibrations caused the awakening of dormant power and capability. The best wishes of the present society are extended to the Circle of the succeeding year, that it may carry on with still greater success, this work which has proved so beneficial to all who have entered the ranks of this society. Browning Club Browning Club Browning in love is charming; as an artist and a musician he is delightful; but it is to the Browning of a more serious mood that we turn for thoughts for quiet hours. The club has spent the past year with this latter phase of Browning’s nature. The subject of study has been a single poem—Paracelsus. Browning has made this the history of the soul of one who aspired to attain absolute knowledge entirely thru his own efforts. Paracelsus believed that Truth is within ourselves.” and to know is to have opened a way for its escape—not a way for its admission.” At last he realized the futility of his search for intellectual power, and on his deathbed admitted that he failed because he had omitted from his scheme of life the aesthetic or emotional element, without which power is impotent: Browning night.” with Miss Peeke’s home as our trvsting place, will ever be one of the pleasantest memories of our school life. a 65 The students' Art Loan Club The Students Art Loan Club PrrtiJent Viee-Pr ihJen!

The club owns about seventy-live pictures, copies of well-known works of art. which it lends to any and all students who. desirous of beautifying their rooms, are willing to pay the small membership fee of ten cents. By so doing, the club offers to students an opportunity to become acquainted with the really beautiful in art. Tho the pictures are changed at the close of each quarter, their influence still remains, for. as Keats tells us. A thing of beauty in a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us. and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Miss Jknnik Marvin ViefPrt Uf t ..... Mrs. S. Etta Yodmo Stirttary ....... Nixa Owrns There exists in our school a literary society that is. perhaps, not as well known as some of the others. This is because of its youth and the nature of the work. Its name will nevertheless he associated by those connected with it. with pleasant memories of “Auld Lang Syne.” when Shakespeare was a bosom friend. The Shakespeare Club is, as its name suggests, a club for the study of Shakespeare. The object is indeed worthy, as it forms no unimportant part of that co-education which helps to relieve and soften the serious work of life. In the attainment of this object we make use of literary and social “means,” and if the opinions of the members count, it is doing good work in the fulfillment of its mission. The club is a continuance of an organization of the same name, that was maintained by members of the 9th grade of 1901. and passed with them into the Normal Department. Its standard has been advanced and its ideals maintained; members have familiarized themselves with Shakespeare, his life and works: good fellowship has been fostered, parliamentary practice acquired, and the club is to-day a success in every sense of the term, having many fruits to show for its labors. The club meets once a month at the home of one of the members and is entertained socially bv a committee of three, of which the host or hostess is chairman. 'I'lie social part of the program is little inferior to the literary part in actual benefit derived. It is spent mostly in playing Shakespearian games. The literary program usually consists of a reading of some Shakespearian play, discussions on topics which pertain to Shakespeare, talks by honorary members on such edifying subjects as A Visit to the Shakespearian Country.” and now and then a quotation contest. It is safe to say that no meetings of any literary society are so thorolv enjoyed as are those of the Shakespeare Club. The club is fortunate in having Miss Jennie Marvin for its president, and its prosperity is due in no small degree to the ability of her management. Mention should also be made here of the kindly assistance of Miss Peake in the preparation of the programs. The other officers of the club are also capable of filling their positions. And last, but not least, the members arc wise and good.” All agree that the present high standard should be maintained. And. with a promising future before us. and a golden past behind, let us all join in wishing long life and prosperity to the Shakespeare Club. The Glee Club PrtfMtm! .

Its members are earnest in their endeavor to do their best. Success has been theirs. Altho not large in numbers, vet their influence has been cast upon the different organizations of this institution. Notwithstanding the fact that the orchestra was organized late in the year, yet it has not been hindered in any way. They have steadily advanced, until at present we have a splendid musical organization. Talent also is not lacking, not only along the musical lines, but also in the management and directing of so stupendous an organization. The director is a man of wide musical experience and ability and the members fully appreciate his unfailing efforts, which have brought them to the present standard. The manager is a business man in every sense of the word. Little need be said about the members in the orchestra. Each is an artist in his particular fiicld. Some are soloists who have pleased more than one audience. A glance at the list will show the abilities of the Normal Orchestra. Director Bknjamin I.kith First Violin . 1 Edward P. Crain.

He bequeathed the first place as orator in the school to the very young man, a student of little words but great deeds. But the first place was coveted by the bombasts, those of big words but little deeds. They, forthwith, consulted an oracle as to what they should do to make themselves secure. The answer of the oracle was: “Fear nobody who comcth not with a sleepless eye.” “There is nothing very alarming about that,” thought the bombasts, so instead of squelching the very young man as they had at first thought of doing, they sent him away to his composition teacher, hoping that they would never hear of him again. Time went on until the faithful student had become a sophomore; then his friends thought it time that he should try for the first place. But first the friends consulted an oracle, which gave them as strange an answer as it had given to the bombasts: “Who seeks a crown shall first complete his work in rhetoric.” He set out with a burning desire and an ardent hope to win the first place. He saw tired looking students, from whom were wafted to him wild murmurings of Carlylean style, Wednesday talks and Friday themes, and criticisms, until his heart sank within him. He was sadly thinking of this new difficulty, when a woman came, with dignified grace, and stood beside him, asking him why he was so grieved. “Reason enough,” said he, “when that rhetoric is keeping me from first place. “Is that all?” asked the woman; “I can easily help you there. I am going that way myself to personally conduct many others, and we will gladly make you one of our number.” The young man thought she was laughing at him. But something about her—he could not tell what—made him feel that she was no ordinary woman; and even as he looked, her eyes became an inspiration to him and she seemed to give him power. No; she certainly was not joking him, her smile was only friendly and kind, so he joined the the rhetoric class. In an incredible short time the young man studied his way through Macaulay, and over numerous “crits, with no other loss than that of sleep. The students all gathered about him and gazed in wonder atone having completed rhetoric with such small losses. The news reached the bombasts, and they came out of their studies to see what was going on. But as soon as they caught sight of the stranger with the sleepless eye they started with dismay. There stood the man the oracle had warned them to fear ! His boldness and his masterful bearing had a great effect upon the bombasts, and though they had not so much courage, they had plenty of craft, so said, “Why, of course you shall have first place. Do not think we want to keep it from you—to keep back what is rightfully yours. We shall only be too glad to sec you get it. We had been wondering if you had gone the way of all rhetoric students. But there is a monster that guards the first place against incompetent persons. You must win, first, the oratorical contest in our school. If you decline to do that, wc shall choose one of the bombasts for the undertaking-. It will require much hard work, and perhaps one so young had best not attempt too much at a time.” Now, hard work was the young man's ruling passion. He would have felt disgraced if he had declined any problem, however difficult it might be. So it was announced that the very young man had undertaken the winning of the oratorical contest. The night of the contest came. As soon as the people heard his voice they were spellbound. Beautiful young women and members of the faculty congratulated him upon his wonderful success. The bombasts, too, said, ‘AVe are very much pleased; it was well done, but there is yet another monster greater than the first. Win for us the state contest.” Again did the young man work, and again, with greater ease and greater applause, did he succeed. The bombasts began to be afraid for they were coming to the end of their monsters. They felt sure they were outdone by one who was an earnest worker. But again they pretended friendship and said, “That, too, is very well done. We see there is something in you after all. But you must now face the most terrible monster of all. If you conquer it—why—” “I can but try,” said the young man. So he and his friends were sent to the interstate contest. It was by far the greatest contest ever held, but with the miraculous power which he had gained in his alma mater, he won the conquest. The very young man was now world-famous—an orator. The first place was won by him who was faithful and diligent. Nkllik D. Plugh. 70 ) I 1 f i ! I I Orators 77 Program Oratorical Contest Selection, Normai.

The “Quiver. at the time of going to press, is unable to give the results of this contest, but by the enthusiasm revealed by both societies in this feature of their work, promises a good debate. The question to he discussed this year is: “Resolved. That it would he a sound policy for congress to pass a law authorizing inter-state railroads to make contracts for the division of competitive freight earnings, such contracts to he under control of the inter-state commerce commission. The affirmative is supported by F. C. Johnson. F. W. Oldenburg, and Hugo Sperling. of the Lyceum. The negative is upheld by Win. Reuthcr, Charles Velte, and A. W. Hooton. Philakcan-Lyceum Debaters 80 cPhoentx-Lyceum Debate The joint debate between the members of the Phoenix and Lvceum societies is looked forward to with a great deal of expectation. This debate is the first feature of Commencement week. Each side is doing its utmost to win the debate. This debate is an important one. because it determines who shall hold the Lincoln bust. The Lyceum have held it for the past two years, but the Phoenix arc confident that theirs is the victory this year: Commencement week will tell. Three cheers for the victors! Our sympathy for the losers! The question to be debated is: Resolved. That the fifteenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States has not been justified by its results. The members of the Phoenix society. Mr. Vandcrhoof. Mr. Halsey, and Miss Hearn, uphold the affirmative side of the question. Each is a strong student and debater. The negative side of the question is upheld bv Mr. Gunderson. Mr. Johnson. Miss Cook, members of the Lyceum. These have distinguished themselves as debaters oefore the whole school. Our earnest desire is that each will do his very best.—and come defeat or victory —each will have the satisfaction of knowing that his society is well pleased with its earnest efforts. 81 vjm� so (jook r Vj.Mw on V . . v o padieHearne Phocn ix-Lyceum Debaters 82 JO� .

Stand firm and fix on earth thy rooted feet, bite with thy teeth thy eager lips, and stern. In conscious strength, the rushing onset meet.” Such was the spirit of the injunction given by the Junior class to its representatives in the Tntcr-Normal debate, which took place at Stevens Point on the evening of April 25th. And so well did these representatives heed the mandate that they placed another star in the crown of victory. Our class had selected Miss Knowlton, Mr. Craine. and Mr. Hardgrovc to represent us against Mr. Chcreosky. Mr. Brunstad. and Miss Krickson. of Stevens Point, in debating this question: “Resolved, That the elective system would be preferable to the prescribed studies in high school, that now have three or four fixed courses. Never were there Juniors who worked more zealously, while the investigations continued. The librarv was forced to yield her increase, the opinions of great educators were solicited, the facts of existing conditions in the largest and best cities were garnered as carefully as a harvester gathers his sheaves. Oshkosh became a Mecca toward which information found its way. Then began the process of winnowing until all the chaff had been blown to the wind and the grain, the choice golden grain, was carefully wrapped in a parcel and carried to the balance of justice. Well had the opponents labored. but not so well. The Demosthenes had orated to the ripples of the peaceful Wisconsin. and as such was overpowered bv the dignity and power of the waves of the Winnebago. Oshkosh supported the negative, and so evenly were the psychological and pedagogical reins drawn on both sides that it was difficult to determine which had the better control of its forces. But. when it became a matter of summing up the arguments of the contestants and of adding to these the refuted arguments of the opponents, there was no further doubt. Our hosts were royal—they tendered a reception to the their guests and showed themselves masters of the occasion in extending their hospitality. In the small hours of the night we parted with the thought:— “Let memory bind forever on thy heart The kindness thou hast done. The victory we have won. Jove hath order’d that thou should'st grieve— And to that end hath cast Thy life into debates past end. 84 85 Our Debate zvitb Normal, Illinois Our annual debate with Normal. 111., took place Friday, May 16, and resulted in defeat for the Oshkosh team. The question debated was, Resolved, That it should be temporarily the policy of the United States to subsidize ships of American registry for the purpose of building up its deep sea merchant marine. Oshkosh was represented in the debate by Bernard J. Gallagher, George DeGuire, and Kent Morgan. A delegation of twenty-eight students and teachers accompanied the debaters to Illinois and came back with glowing accounts of the pleasures of the trip and the hospitable entertainment accorded them by the faculty, students, and citizens of Normal. Oshkosh will entertain the Illinois debaters and delegates next year. 87 vwj The “Normal Advance” IIUKKRT A.STKCKRM Mili.ickxt Tirxkr IIknry N. Boddkx Fanmk Forsyth GboKOK UrGUIRK Mkktox J. Lyon .

When our to-days have become yesterdays, and time has gone on apace, the dust covered, time stained editions of the Normal Advance for 1902 will preserve the story of this history making year. It will keep within its pages as sacredly as tho it were the secret of its heart, the story of our progress in composition and art. and our ideas in methods of teaching. It will record our victories on the athletic field, in the recitation room, and on the rostrum. It will tell of the doing of our schoolmates in the days when they were pedagogues in embryo, before time had whitened their locks and fame had added titles to their names. It will tell what a wit there was among us then; how we spiced our work with play; how we stood up for the dear old Normal School; how we maintained her honor; how we advanced her standards; how we loved her as our fond foster mother. It will treasure the names of a faithful, capable staff, who labored to the end that all might enjoy an excellent school periodical. Perhaps the most useful of our school publications is the Students’ Handbook. Thru the efforts of the Students’ Christian Association this little guide book is published annually for the benefit of new students who are unacquainted with out school and the city. The book is free to all. and it is hoped that bv its distribution and thru Christian endeavor the Association tnav render its best services to the Oshkosh Normal The Student's Handbook School. A. M.

Roy Ozark k Altho athletics have long existed in this school, never before did they play such an important part as this year, it has never been denied that participation in some outdoor sport is not only desirable, but almost necessary to some the students. This year the young men finally awoke to the realization of this fact and thereupon came flocking upon the different fields of play. The athletic spirit has not only taken hold of the boys, but the girls (including the faculty girls) also discovered that they should have more exercise. Altho they cannot take part in foot ball, base ball, and the track sports, the girls have taken advantage of the remaining games, tennis and basket ball. Not only as to the number of players, but also from a financial standpoint has this year been yerv successful. This is d mbtless largely due to the skillful management, for this year we seem to have been very fortunate in the selection of our officers. But our success also in a great measure is due to the increased enthusiasm manifested by the school as a whole. We hope that in the future athletics will be even better supported, that at least one-half instead of one-fifth of the students will get out of doors and exercise, as they should, and that all the students will attend the games and cheer our boys to victory.

For several years we have had practice in bravely receiving defeat, at last we have experienced a little victory, and like it much better. Xot that we were entirely successful, for we won only as many games as we lost, but we have a total score of 76 to our credit, while our opponents count only 42. The students and teachers turned out nobly to the games, at nearly all of which the crowd was large enough not only to pay the expenses, but even to leave a small surplus. With such backing the boys simply had to do something. I� ut the support must be still stronger if our team is to be pitted against schools, such as Lawrence, which have paid coaches, and which therefore send out much stronger teams than they otherwise would. Coaches cost money. The merchants of the city arc quite generous in their contributions, but we cannot expect them to pay all our expenses. The students, who get the benefit of athletics, must be willing to bear oart and a large part of the burden. During the last year athletics seem to have received a great impetus; this is especially noticeable in foot ball. The different classes each succeeded in putting forth a full team. If this practice is kept up each year, it will be very advantageous to the school. First, it will bring a larger number of students out of doors. Second, it will provide good material for our regular teams. Regular Team Scores Pate Where Hayed Oshkosh Score Other Team Store Oct.

Not only do the students participate, but even the members of our sedate faculty like to set aside their reserve and throw at— occasionally into—the basket. Many teams were organized among the students and faculty this year. The first or regular team, tho it contained excellent material, was unfortunate. It defeated the big boys from Lawrence, and then went down before the little ones from Weyauwega. Tho they were unsuccessful, the boys deserve credit for the way they tried. The second team, or as the members prefer to be called, the Normal Reserves, won two games from the local Y. M. C. A. This team has a very clean record. 'Phc two teams spoken of were composed of the big boys, but the small ones also liked the game and formed several teams: The Normal Shorties. Sacred Five. Katzen-jammers, and the Invinciblcs. Of these the Shorties alone played with an outside team. They defeated a Y. M. C. A. team in one game, and then were beaten bv the same team the next time they played. Besides these regular ones, three of the classes had teams—the Seniors. Juniors, and Sophomores. The Juniors defeated the Seniors who. it will be remembered, had conquered the Faculty. The Sophomores practiced again the other teams, especially against the Faculty. i For the first time in the history of our school a girl’s team has played with that of another institution. The Atalantas. composed of five girls of the Freshmen class, played and defeated a team representing Ripon College. The Junior and Senior classes each had a girl’s basket ball team. The Juniors even ventured an engagement with the Faculty. Many precedents were this year broken. The men of the Faculty, to be sure, have played base ball. This year, however, they even tackled basket ball, and in one game which they played succeeded in throwing more baskets than their opponents. If there were only a few more of them, the mighty Prof's, we are led to believe, would organize a foot ball team. But think of it! s soon as the ladies of the Faculty, it is said, saw men playing basket ball, they, perhaps to prove the equality of sex. perhaps to see whether the game was one in which they could approve of the men playing, let slip a hint that they would like to be challenged. The hint was taken by the Junior girls, who quickly gathered their forces and scattered those of learning to the wind. 97 Inter-Class Field Meet On Saturday. May 3rd. at the fair grounds in this city, occurred an event which will long be remembered by the students, especially by the Juniors. The previous morning at a field day revival meeting, it was learned that either the Freshmen or the Juniors would win first place, and that the Sophomores and Seniors would contend to see which would he second and which third. 1 might say right here that a boy attending this school made a small sum of monev bv betting that the Freshmen would get a point. The day on which the grand event was to take place the athletes woke up, looked out. and scowled. It had rained, and rained hard. Nevertheless, shortly after noon, the powerful youths, longing for glory, might have been seen treading their way toward the field of combat. Soon after, followed the crowd which, altho not as large as it would have been had the weather been more favorable, was very enthusiastic. Some of the Junior girls were so anxious not to miss the sight, that they would have crawled thru a hole in the fence had not the guard prevented them. They had tickets, but evidently thought it unnecessary to go thru the regular formula of handing them in. At last the sport commenced, with a high hurdle race, which Morrill easily won for the Juniors, the Seniors with Jones capturing second place. Then followed the regular events. No records were broken, which circumstance was of course due to the condition of the ground, the track for instance, being so nice and wet that some of the Freshmen, it is said, even wanted to stop the events and make pud pies. (Of course, this is only a rumor.) 66 Results of Field Meet Event ' High Hurdles 120 yards Discus throw........ 100 yard dash....... Hammer throw........ Shot put............

Some children who seem to be painfully ordinary will exhibit remarkable genius on examination papers. The young person who said that the advantage of the Arabic over the Roman notation consisted in the fact that the former saves wear and tear of brain tissue is. without doubt on the sure and easy road to celebrity. The little girl who. when asked to tell by what routes she would go from Oshkosh to San Fran- cisco, after having named as many railroads as she knew, said: “1 would walk the rest of the way,” will, no doubt, cither become famous or die young in the attempt to accomplish the impossible. The fate of the person who said that the English “basted their claims to North America on the discovery of the Cabots, and of the person who said : They sent 'smugglers’ around to look for smuggled goods. is harder to predict. No doubt the originators of some of the remarkable statements quoted below will never again arise above the dead level of the commonplace, but if some of them do not attain to lasting fame it will be because they have been forced, through the jealousy of the gods, to take passage across Lethe and the world will be impoverished because they went and took their knowledge with them. 1 “Raleigh was the ‘founder’ of tobacco in America.

A Boy's Composition on Columbus The following is a boy's composition about Columbus: “Clumbus was a man who could make an egg stand on end without breaking it. The King of Spain said to Clumbus: ‘Can you Discover America? •Yes,' said Clumbus. ‘if you will give me a ship. So he got a ship, and sailed over the sea in the Direction where he thought America ought to be found. The sailors quarreled, and said they be-| lieved there was no such place. But after many days the Pilot came to him and said. ‘Clumbus, 1 sec land.’ ‘Then that is America.' said Clumbus. When the ship got near, the land was full of black men. Clumbus said. ’Is this America?’ ‘Yes, it is.’ said they. Then the chief said. ‘1 suppose you arc Clumbus?' ‘You are right.’ said he. Then the chief turned to his men and said: ‘There is no help for it. We are Discovered at last.’ ” (London Standard.) « 103 I A Vacation Episode ’Twas the eve before Sunday, about five o’clock When some Normal young people met near Main Street dock. There were jackets and boxes and trappings galore, A row boat in which there was just room for four. For that evening those Normalitcs, bent on a row, In a boat on old 'Bago intended to go. The ladies sat down in the appointed places To await the one man with expectant faces, For he, a professor of some renown Had vanished from sight and had gone up town. ”When will he come back?” “Do you think he is drowned ?” “If he were, by the splash he could surely be found.” Such speeches as these with much laughter between Filled the time till Professor’s bland visage was seen. There were good news and secrets all over his face But he silently down at the oars took his place. No teasing or coaxing or beguiling wiles Could induce him to tell the cause of his smiles. Till the girl at the held was directed to turn, Take a passenger in, but who they must learn. All jokes about woman’s curiosity Failed to make them pretend to live in felicity While there was a secret to them unknown Till that secret became every whit their own. As the boat neared the shore a young farmer appeared, He wore no eye glasses nor supported a beard. The farming he does is of a peculiar kind, For he uses for soil not mud, but mind. Not top plants but roots grace his institution, And instead of a hoe he employs evolution. The surprise was complete on this special occasion For they thought he was gone on his summer vacation. We have already said there were sets for just four, But they remembered the saying, “room for one more.” In the boat bottom was found a graceful seat, The one drawback being scant room for his feet. Now onward they sped over river and lake, But the rising- wind caused them council to take. They decided to land at a place on the shore Where some of the party had picniced before. On peaches and cheese and hard tack they dined While the noise of the waves was borne in by the wind. They bethought them ’twcrc better to get home soon And not wait for the beams of the friendly moon. So down to the boat they went, only to see That whitecaps were dancing in mad revelry. The boat was tipped threateningly that way and this, So that no one had grieved the ride homeward to miss. But the boat must be cared for and next day was Sunday, It might be stolen if left there till Monday. So they thought they would stem the wind and the wave And risk feeding the fishes the boat for to save. The girls rushed madly and recklessly in, Not stopping to weigh the results of their sin. The boat was weighed down and gave excellent chance For a jolly old breaker in their midst to dance. The two bravest girls who took seats near the stern Were wetter and wiser—but mortals must learn. They waded and plunged and struggled to shore And the boat problem puzzled as much as before. After long debating the cons and the pros, A very prosaic but wise plan they chose. The gentlemen were to go home with the boat While the girls made an overland journey afoot. Now this fact disclosed you will not be surprised That the story should end in a way not surmised. Unlike most stories on which young folks arc fed, None are found to be smitten and none to get wed. You inquire then, who do I publish this rhyme And ask you for reading it to take your time? 'fhc only excuse of which I find a trace Is one all sufficient, it fills in space. F. L. S. The Trip to West Superior At the dead hour of night in the month of March, a small party of students with Mr. Mitchell as chaperone, left the city of Oshkosh. Their destination was a small hamlet called W est Superior, which place is situated in the now treeless waste which borders on the southwestern shore of the clear cool waters of Lake Superior. The party, like the “great commoner” who lives in Nebraska, refused the comforts and splendor of a palatial Pullman, and sought berths in Turner’s world-famous tourist cars, which are lighted only by the stars of heaven.—The gentle reader will bear in mind that on this night nature had spread between these twinkling orbs and this tourist car a screen of dense clouds thru which no twinkle could penetrate. The first on board was Gunderson, who proceeded to fall over all the grips and impedimenta of the delegations from Whitewater and Milwaukee. Froehlich came next and fell over everything that Gunderson had found, and in addition fell over Gunderson. Next in line were the lady members of the delegation, and their experiences in climbing (?) over trunks, satchels, etc., had better not be dwelt upon here. Mr. Mitchell came in bringing up the rear.—He had the rheumatism. Safely on board at last, the next problem was to find our berths. W’hen discovered they were found on the second floor.—Turner’s world-renowned tourist-cars arc two story affairs. This was entire satisfactory to us. but we suffered some little inconvenience from the fact that the stairs were left at Van Dyne and the elevators were not running. By what feat of gymnastics the different members of the company reached their beds is not known to the writer. In a very short time, but for the noise of the car wheels jolting along over cross ties, silence reigned. As sleep was about to close our drooping lids a feminine voice, coming from the forward end of the car. was heard; we could not catch connected sentences, but is was saying something about the Puritans and Puritan stock and Puritan influences. We afterwards learned that it was the voice of the orator from Whitewater. This voice having subsided, another took up the strain. It seemed that we were to have a regular program from the sleepers on that train. This second voice was quite indistinct, for at this point of road the tics are made of hardwood, and as the wheels bouldcrcd along over these, ordinary sounds were scarcely audible. The second voice was saying something about somebody spitting on somebody else and about a “cutthroat and “dog.” Prom what could be heard it seemed that a quarrel was going on between a Jew and a Christian, and that the Christian wanted to borrow a quarter or something. This voice having finished its score, ceased, but we heard enough to convince us that what we had just heard was our own Charlotte rehearsing her oration in her dreams. Prom another quarter of the car a strong manly voice was heard giving extracts from a book called “Hamilton College Prize Orations.” We could not understand this at all then, and even now some of the facts connected with it arc beyond our comprehension. After the orators had finished their rehearsals in their restless sleep, within the care all was still. 106 The party reached Ashland next morning and lunched at the depot. From Ashland to West Superior the time was spent receiving and returning calls from the members of the Milwaukee and Whitewater delegations. Every one on the train was very agreeable. and the trip was very pleasant. We arrived at Superior on Thursday in time for dinner and were met at the depot by representatives of the Superior N'ormal school. The Superior people treated us handsomely. They evidently thought that the best they had was none too good for their guests. In West Superior the time was spent seeing the sights, visiting the Nor-mal School and meeting the people from the different Schools. Friday, the day of the contest, was very disagreeable—half rain, half snow, and the rest of it bad weather. The night of the contest was dark and murkey. but still the Oshkosh people had a “Ray” of hope to say the least. The Opera House was packed at 7:30 and the din in that play house would have put to shame a whole tribe of Sioux Indians in their palmiest days. For making a noise Superior had a combination that was hard to beat. Their yells completely silenced the brass band which occompanied the Platteville delegation. After the audience had yelled and sung itself hoarse, the contest began with Superior the first on its program. The contest itself was of a very high order, and after the smoke of battle was over the bird of victory perched on the white and gold of Oshkosh. When the decision was reached. Mr. Mitchell was at the hotel assembling our baggage so that we might leave on the midnight train. The announcement of the great victory that Oshkosh had won. was made at the hotel by Gunderson and Froehlich rushing into the corridor, yelling, “Ole Olson. N on Yonson. etc.” They gathered up our worthy professor and all three started on a run for the Opera House just across the street. Mr. Mitchell fell over a hydrant and it is reported that he said, “Ole Olson, etc.”! Not being able to get into the house, the three contented themselves with standing in front of the main entrance and giving Oshkosh Normal yells. We didn’t have a brass band, but we did have an orator, and everybody within four miles round knew that we were there. By great exertion we managed to reach the train in time and left about 1 :oo a. in. for Minneapolis. Gunderson and Froehlich were left behind, but they knew the direction the train had taken, and the excitement of the victory being still on. they sprinted down the track and actually overhauled the train somewhere between Superior and Duluth. The next morning we reached Minneapolis about «S:oo o’clock; we had breakfast on the train, 'flic Whitewater people joined our party and Mr. Mitchell being acquainted with the city was elected guide. Saturday was spent in visiting the city and in the afternoon the party went out to Minnehaha Falls. At this point Mr. Mitchell, to visit some acquaintances in the city, left us; we saw no more of him until Sunday afternoon. At y.oop. m. our car was attached to the regular thru train and we started homeward. The night was most beautiful and the star-lit fields, and lakes, and streams is we passed by presented a picture of rare beauty. We reached Oshkosh about 4:00 a. m., and were met by a delegation giving us the startling information that we were not wanted at school that day. We found out why a a little later on. Thus ends our journey. The party had been gone four days, had traveled a thousand miles, had slept two hours, and had won the Inter-Normal contest for the year 1902. What more do you want? Loss and Gain Ode “O, grant the right,” the hopeful Freshman said, “That I Psychology at once begin, Geography and Grammar are so trite, To waste more time on them would be a sin.” The prayer denied, Industrial G. he signed, And filled with knowledge, to recite began, His friends arc filled with wonder when they find The Pendent Globe is the abode of man.” “Grant me the right,” the modest Sophomore cried, “Within the Ladies’ Study place to hold, At four, the Seniors wise and Juniors bold Do there so throng, that little chance have we To talk or laugh with ladies fair to sec.” The prayer denied, at books he worked away, A Senior now, lie holds all hearts in sway. Grant me the right,” the ambitious Junior begged, “That 1 nine studies take, four seem so lew. I never yet have less than 90 made.” 'Phe prayer denied, to show what he could do, He vowed the 100 mark should be his grade. Ere ten weeks passed he thanked his lucky star. His name was writ with those that passed arc. “O, find for me,” the anxious Senior prayed, “A school where I great riches may attain, Where days of ease with various pleasures spread. Short hours, long rests, await the modern Crane,” 'Phe prayer denied, last act of his should not soil His Alma Mater’s fair unsullied fame, He girt his loins about” for honest toil, And adds unto her list an honored name. 108 Our Foot Ball Tcam The Normal team is a solid wall. Built of Oshkosh’s hardest rock. Upon it the enemy hurls its strength And recoils from the answering shock. Sing high for the Normal team! Sing low for its gallant foe! With might and main. With toil and pain They gain or yield The hard fought field. While November’s sun hangs low 'I'lie Normal team is a mighty wave Rolling in from a stormy main. Against its onward victories The enemy battles in vain. Shout—up with the Normal team! Shout—down with its gallant foe! Shout—White and gold And its heroes bold! Shout—Courage and pluck Will bring good luck! Shout—On to the goal they go The Normal team is a conquering host Like the old time warrior gods. It fears no foe. and its courage mounts When it faces fearful odds. Then yell till the sun goes down And hides the fallen foe. Yell—Give the axe With tremendous whacks! Yell—Oshkosh up And win the cup. Yell—On to the goal!—go! go 100 To Normal Golfers You may talk about tennis or pool. Of ping pong, or whist played by rule, Of hockey, or straight seven-up; But for first-class clear-headedness, For eye and wrist steadiness Golf surely can bear off the cup When the April showers hover. And shake down their misty tears. And the timid hickory leaflet From its winter bed appears. And the early sweet-voiced bluebird Flying north through light and dark, Brings the other dear sojourners— Blackbird and the meadow lark. Then the golfer hears a message From the tenants of the field— Reed and oak and early robin— To the dull ear unrcvealed. Treads he down no flower in wanton. Slays he nought in copse or sky. Friend of buttercup and swallow Care free as the fleecy clouds on high. Wealth may cloy upon the senses. Power and place seem small and mean. Little weigh they in the balance ’Gainst the rolling fields of green. Early love of stream and forest Crushed ’neath worry, strife, and pain, World-lost, world-sought. On the golf links lives again. Xo breeze across the course to swerve the ball. Beyond the ridge the crimson flag that beckons all, A bran-new “Doon” or “Henley” clean and white. A “twenty-seven McGregor” balanced right; The sky, the earth, opponents, friends. no All blend, and each one lends Some inspiration, and though the vulgar scoff. They are forgiven and forgot when “we arc off.” The world rejoices when it sees a noble action done. NTor smiles the less at a two hundred drive toward No. I. To the west of number one. there is an oak, Take care, beware! On which agonc full many a stroke hath broke, Take care, beware! Southward from the oak two hickories spread Leaf and limb to stop you dead. Take care, beware! The ancients had a say. “Walk in the middle way. Take care! Number three is short and easy lint when it’s wet it’s teasy. Especially when your iron shot is short. But if you place your second squarely. You will win a four hole fairly. And of the proper things, why that’s the sort. “O the willows, willows, willows. Would they were beneath the billows. If you drive too low, Will be the burden of your moan; If you “pull the grass will catch you. And the caddy will laugh at you. And all the laughing you will do will be a groan. Number five’s a snap—two hundred less or more. Here you forget what you have said at number four. Hole number six is won in five—the average players do— Unless you over-top the ball and roll into the slough. The slough is not a running stream, but only muck and sand. And so it very obvious is. it needs not to be damned. Seven and eight are dangerless and long, but straight away, And should be won in double five except on hodoo-day. ill In days of old men built a fort. Then draw a ditch around. And many a knight of valor great Therein destruction found. So many a golfer brave or fair. With danger almost past, Has foozled one untimely stroke, To find the ditch at last. But bravery often scaled this wall Or burst the studded gate. So nerve” doth every hazard top. And over-matches fate. And little recks a foozle here Or a drive ill-carried through. If at the last three well-placed shots Win out in Forty-two. This wish send I to every comrade of the green: Strong wrists, clear eye. and if between The long straight shots bad luck shall come. May he be “down” at last well done.” For “down” at last we all shall some day be, In spite of wealth or power or high degree. Through life—I wish him joy, and when at last ’tis over That he sink calmly down in peace beneath the clover, Xo soldiered tomb in kingly state will e'er be guarded so, For ’mid the season’s change, as years shall come and go, The stars and birds and humble flowers which dear in life have been Will be the angels at the mound to keep their watch o’er him. W. C. H. 112 113 Miss Kimball's Fire i. We’ve heard in song and story, Of knights of long ago— Performing deeds so wondrous brave And conquering many a foe. II. But of all great deeds of valor. One which does all surpass Is one which recently took place In the “Sentential Analysis Class.” III. The class had made good progress. When the sharp eyes of Marie Saw smoke a-pouring from the wall And quickly as could be— IV. She rushed up to Miss Kimball And whispered in her ear. From yonder wall arises smoke. This room's on fire, 1 fear.” V. Miss Kimball with a hasty glance Saw the true state of affairs. And sent for good and wise Prof. Briggs, Just then at work upstairs. VI. In response to thejiastv summons The “acting head appeared. And after a brief survey lie said.— 'Pis not so bad as 1 feared. VII. “Must I dismiss the class. Prof. Briggs,' Miss Kimball then did say. Perhaps you’d better, for you know They might be in the way ” 114 VIII. He sent Miss Marvin to the 'phone To call the fire brigade. While he remained to await results. Then Mann rushed to his aid. IX. And with a tittle sprinkling can Of water which he brought. Put out the fire and luckily Xo other place had caught. X. But when the firemen did appear. They saw they were not needed, The fire was out. the class recalled. So quickly they receded XI. Next morning from the rostrum Prof. Briggs the story told. He sang Miss Kimball's praises Until she grew quite bold. XII. And when he'd finished, she arose And thus to speak began. The fire was such we put it out With a little watering can. XIII. When she again resumed her place Up popped Professor B-------- With an air which plainly said She won't get ahead of me, XIV. He told this story to the crowd, And of its truth he boasts. How Prof. T. thought that class must be Very much used to roasts. XV. And then for fear she'd up again And have the last to say. lie quickly turned and tapped the bell Which dispersed them right away. 115 1 Senior Faculty Game Scenes COMING!!!

And lie was wondrous wise; He cooked for a bachelors’ club. He cooked for a bachelors’ club. And caused them many sighs, And caused them many sighs, And caused, and caused Them many sighs. And when he heard their Brigham’s sigh. With all his might and main. He smoked the club another W iener. He smoked the club another Wiener. To hear them sigh again. To hear them sigh again. To hear, to hear Them sigh again. B. Young: “Is dinner ready?” Seholz: “It is.” Strehlow: “Wot haf you got? Seholz: “Prunes, oatmeal, gruel, crackers, Wieners, and city water.” Velte: “My! what a change in variety; for breakfast we had city water, Wieners, crackers, oatmeal, gruel and prunes.” Seholz: “You fellers certainly can’t kick, we haf more of a variety than at the Athearn maybe.” Strehlow: “Us fellers had a big change from supper to breakfast already yet. For supper we had: oatmeal, gruel, Wieners, city water, prunes and crackers.” Seholz: “Come boys, sit to and I’ll ask the blessing.” FRED the Cook ■ l 130 1 ) SONGS THAT SOME OF US LIKE 1 My Hannah Lady My (Jersey) Lily Wait 'Till the Clouds Roll l y, Gcni(vieve) My Pearl ... 1 .. Laurence V “Sally” in Our Alley t 137 r OSHKOSH NORMAL ANTHOLOGY This collection of fugitive poems is the result of the most careful research. The pieces that follow arc what were left after a careful sifting of the four thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine poetical productions that stand to the credit of Normal students for the year 01-02. The method employed was drastic and effectual. Of the four thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine productions, four thousand seven hundred were the composition of persons other than the chief poet: these the poet at once eliminated. The remaining sixty-nine she submitted to the Quiver staff. The staff selected sixtv-two. In this way the poet finally secured the few that arc herewith published. (X. B.—These poems arc not poems, simply verse.) WHY SHE COULDN'T HEAR ’Twas at a practice teacher’s meet Where criticisms (O. so sweet ?) Were flashing swiftly thru the air. Striking many here and there. The telephone upon the wall Rang so loud it startled all. Miss Swart stepped up to answer, so Gave the usual “Hello.” No answer came to greet her call. I guess no one is there at all. And turning ’round resumed her place. A smile was seen on every face. The reason why she couldn't hear. She hadn’t the receiver to her ear. ’Twas on a Rhetorical day. The students were wending their way To take their respective places. As usual with solemn faces. When a lady whose name was Jones Asked Prof. Goddard in timid tones. Is this the place where I stay? “Your name begins with—?’’ J On Miss Jones turned his terrible gaze, No. this is no place for the jays. 130 C. II. B. She is always sure to know, And then is When Ella G. looks at you. If she has to do it twice, Her gaze partakes of ice, When a second time Ella G. looks at you. But if she marches to your chair. And squelches you---beware! For that’s a time you’ll wish Ella G. had not looked at you. I 140 I Thru the Transom Open Sesame” and open flew The transom of the Physics ‘Tab. For down below the door was to. And would not give to kick or jab. So I lalsey junior upward went By Hcckmann pushed, and other youth. And through the transom he was bent With face quite red and hair uncouth. When down with swiftness came the door. And caught him struggling in its fangs, And then a terrible uproar Rose from his agonized pangs. 1 11 PHUNNYSTANCES Howlett in Physics: A true pendulum is a particle of no weight suspended from nothing.” Mr. Johnson (giving “Advance” report in morning exercises): Please remain rising while I count you.” Land for Sale at Van Dyne—cheap—Apply to George Prico or to his worthy assistant. Harriette Porterfield. Prof. Ouantz: Ideas are generally made known by the facial expression. Can you tell by the expression of my face what I'm thinking about?” Frank C.: “No, you don't seem to have any facial expression. Gladys: “Just think! I stood too in my estimation (meaning the estimating exam.” in Physics.) Her Friend: That’s all right, but what did you stand in teacher’s estimation?

Miss R.?” Miss R.: Yes, sir. I have one.” Mr. 'I'.: What color is it? Miss R.: Gray.” Mr. 'I'.: Now. sec if you can obtain a concept of a donkey. Miss R. (looking steadily at him): “Yes. sir.

Two strange facts as told by Mr. Lowe: A hen which has had its head removed still has presence of mind enough to flop towards the coop (especially when the coop is down hill from where she is executed). Also. An eel in a box in one corner of the room will waggle over a dish of water in the opposite corner, and then back and return to its box. For further information on the subject apply to Mr. Lowe. If he doesn’t give the information tell him he Otto. 142 How would you like to B. Mark Dresden? When do Charley and Milliccnt go fishing frogs or toads? Miss Knowlton “Mr. Dresden, is ‘heirnthen’ transitive or intransitive?” Mr. Young asked: “Shall 1 leave a little skylight on this drawing. Mrs. Pond?” Mr. Trettien (Theory II.): Miss Loan, can you perform an act of reasoning?” Miss L.: Yes. sir. I hope so. Mr. Goddard, in Nature class: “Who can imitate the oriole’s call for us? Miss Jones answers with a quaint little trill all her own. Mr. Trettien: “Is it an important step to change vour cue?” Miss Whipple (aside): It is. for a Chinaman. The members of the “Quiver Stall' were told that they would have to have their pictures in the Quiver. One of them replied. “That is not the first time my face has been all in a quiver.” Miss Jones (at door of Ladies’ Study one morning at time of rhetoricals): Do I belong here? Mr. Goddard: “No, all the “J’s belong to Dresden. Prof. Trettien (Theory), to Miss F.ldridge: For instance, savages always wear bright colors. (Noticing the bright red ribbon on Miss Kldridge’s throat and hair.) O. I don't mean that only savages wear bright colors. The Art Loan Club were having their picture taken at Ralph’s. Miss Magee: “T love to go fishing girls. (A general smile.) Miss Magee: Well, you needn't laugh at that. If 1 were man I should go fishing girls.” Prof. Hewitt in School Management Class. Whosoever doth not forsake his mother and father, wife and sister can be no followers of mine. Now. what am 1 giving you ?” General smile—pupils murmur inwardly. Some more Scripture. First thing looked for when the Basket Ball team strikes a town: Ozanne: The Belle of the Town. Stoops: The Barber Shop. Rosenthal: The Post Office. Lawrence: A Scrap. Stewart: The Billiard Room. 143 Miss Dora Mitchell (who started for the third time to draw a Chinese doll) wearily, “I tell you if I were in congress I’d certainly vote for the Chinese Exclusion Bill.” You know Heckmann, don't you? 1 just heard a good joke about him. He went up to Rev. Greenwood’s the other evening and asked if he didn’t give Yormalitcs reduced rates on marriage. Rev. Greenwood replied that he had not been accustomed to. Then Willie wanted to know if he wouldn’t be allowed a reduction if he got up a club. Miss Savage (teaching Arithmetic class and a trifle rattled): “Miss Kiekhacfer, what is a decimal ? Miss K.: “I don’t know.” Miss Savage (more rattled): ‘‘Mr. Buck, what is a ‘Kickhaefer?’ ” The Chemistry class were talking of having a banquet. Bertha: “W hat shall we have for refreshments? Dicky: “Some of the ‘goose-eggs' Prof. Goddard has given us. Two ladies of the “Quiver staff. Miss Swan and Miss Ilaskin. were sitting on the stairs leading from the Ladies’ Study to the Gymnasium surrounded with papers. Miss Kimball appears and says. Quiver, girls?” Disconcerted Miss Swan: “It makes us quiver to be found here.” 144 One of the students in Prof. Hewitt’s Geometry class was unable to sec thru a theorem. As a final resort Prof. Hewitt went to the basement and “lugged” up a rusty screen door. Prof. Hewitt was certain that his plan was a success, as all could see thru the screen door, font after a few minutes an inattentive student raised his hand and said, “1 can't understand that pyramid. Prof. Hewitt went on patiently with the explanation, saving. “Look at the pyramid. “D-AMN” “I can’t see the damn pyramid thru the screen door. said the student, before Prof. Hewitt could continue. Primer Lessons Bessie and Willie stood hand in hand gazing into a jeweler’s window. What were they looking at? They were looking at the big clock. Bessie said: “O, Willie, see the big clock—it has no hands. Willie answers: “I guess that means no tick here. “O. no. Willie. I think it means I lands off.’ don’t you? Just then a big policeman came along and told the children the curfew had rung, so they ran swiftly homeward. In Music Class Mr. Magee: “Where can we go for references on this subject? Miss Hcward: “There are none; that is what I’m here for. Mr. Magee: “But we can’t all take you home every night. 146 CARTER’S PURE WRITING INK In Black and Blue—Warranted not to Fade.

To strengthen her argument she remarked, “Well in the Civil War I know they paid George Washington in paper money.” , Mr. Cordy in Psychology class: “When a person has delirium tremens, docs he see the same demous right along? Mr. Ouantz. smiling: “Well, I don’t know.” “That,” said Martha to Mary as they passed the Orphan , Asylum, “is where the little orphans live. Mr. and Mrs. Orphan are both dead.” f They were discussing gophers at club. Lawrence Johnson: “Do you know what a gopher is, Milly? Millicent: “I didn’t until I met Chas. McCune.” 148 JUNIOR MEMORIAL From time immemorial man has had more or less definite longings for immortality. Pyramids have been builded and epitaphs have been written. Many men have used many means to make their names immortal, but few leave lasting “footprints on the sands of time.” The Junior class of ’02. sharing this universal longing, have made a few valuable contributions to the Normal museum, which shall he for a monument to their name as long as the school records shall last. Cataloged, they are as follows: 7631 A Crane—Abnormally short neck (but great stretching capacity). Supposed to belong to Crow family (not on acount of color, however), but because of loquacious tendencies. 7632 A Fox—Chiefly remarkable for a lacking characteristic, being unable to keep a (s)ccnt which facilitated its capture. 7633 A Savage—Remarkably docile, considering her recent importation. Fed usually on food—possesses an astonishing appetite, having been known to consume three meals per day. 7634 A Swan—Small (?) but unmistakably a bird.” Kept alive for fear of difficulty in stuffing. A Pond will be kept for her benefit. 7635 A Wolf—Captured early in the spring by means of tracks left on the tennis court—perfectly harmless—allowed liberty of the building. In Psychology class: Mr. Q.: Man is mortal (of course man embraces woman). Encore: I don’t think Socrates did very often.” Prof. Quantz (Theory I.): “Miss A., if gravitation should suddenly cease, where would we go? Miss A.: “One of two places.” Mr. Q.: What is the most general conclusion the mind has ever drawn?” Mr. Ozanne: “Everything is made of motion and matter.” Mr. Quantz: “There isn't much motion in some people's minds.” When the very last poem is written. And the very last sonnet is done; When we’ve cracked every joke under heaven. And we’ve made every possible pun: When even- department of Nature’s Been pickled in metrical brine.

But little Willie thinks no more. For what Willie thot was HjO Was H2S04. At Normal there is a young male Whose puns are so old and so stale That his friends’ latest plot is To cork up his glottis And transport him from town on a rail. There was a young man named Ned Who loots a small lunch before going to bed. 1 le ate once too much of a cheese that was Dutch, And when he woke up he was dead. There was a young lady named Quinn Who was so exceedingly thin That when she essayed to drink lemonade She slipped thru the straw and fell in. Said a very tall man, “What, Do I take my tea cold or hot? It makes no difference, for my neck is Such a length, that it loses its strength And is cold when it touches the spot. I lurrah !
