But their colors never lower To the purple and the gold. Our men are all victorious, Thru every state around ; Our athletes and debaters Are winning great renown. Tho’ we’re proud of all Wisconsin, Whose fame’s in story told, Our heart’s with Stevens Point Normal And the purple and the gold. To the banks of Old Wisconsin,” When these years are past and gone, When as schoolmates we have parted, And our lessons all are done, We’ll return and show our comrades. We’re as loyal as of old, And cheer them on to victory. ’Neath the ' Purple and the Gold.” 3 £0 Students and Xcachcvs of the Jfteuens 2?oint TlorraaX School Vast, Present and future, this little uolumc is affectionately inscribed.

When we came out of the public schools, So fresh, so fresh, And came into the Normal School, So green, so green, The big girls laughed, the boys they jeered, Because our teachers were so feared; But you won’t believe it when you see us now. In Sophomore year we played our part. So well, so well, Became proficient in the arts, They tell, they tell, In plain geom. and methods, too, We learned how much there was to do; If you don’t believe it. just look at us now. We went into our classes new, So meek, so meek, A knowledge of music and hygiene, too, To seek, to seek, We did not know how we must grow Ere we got into the Senior row; If you don’t believe it, just look at us now. In Junior year we were so smart And bright, and bright, We learned our algebra by heart, At night, at night; Boys—We never called on ladies then, Girls—We never looked upon the men; If you don’t believe it, just look at us now. As Seniors we have reached the goal, So high, so high; The fortune we have sought so long, Is nigh, is nigh. Our minds are filled with knowledge rare, So of our futures have no care; Tlio’ you don’t believe it when you see us now. 9 Senior BARRY. MARY JANETTE ....

N alumnus, theoretically, is the complete product of his educational institution. A biscuit, theoretically, is the complete product of its baker. A really good biscuit and a really good alumnus are the best and cheapest advertisements, respectively, for the baker and for the school. But sometimes the baker is ashamed of his biscuit and sometimes the school is embarrassed and mortified by its alumnus. All in all, however, these alumni are on pretty good terms with their schools. Loyal and patriotic, they will shout for her to the last. Generally the alma mater reciprocates this attachment. The University of Wisconsin tenders honors to her governor son, I,a Follette; Harvard triumphantly pronounces the names of John Adams and Kmerson; old William and Marys points with pride to her Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe; Bowdoin boasts of her Longfellow and Hawthorne; Columbia of her Hamilton; Princeton glories in her James Madison and Cleveland; West Point is proud of her Grant; and little Dartmouth can never tell too often of the time when her halls were tread by Daniel Webster. So it is not surprising that S. P. N. should bestow some of this natural regard upon her graduates; it is not surprising that the Normal Pointkk should monthly sacrifice one whole page to the alumni, and that even the conservative NAUTILUS should find one little “chambered cell” where the history of these same alumni may have a place to dwell. The history of these alumni—but, hold, have they any history that deserves special narration? Well, no, we shall have to admit that S. P. N. is too young, that the number of graduates is too small, that their youthfulness is too great to imbue their history with any particular dignity such as would attach to the history of the alumni of time-honored Yale. There is an air of brand new freshness (I almost said verdancy) about them. Here there are no gray heads; here, too, there is none of that peculiar dignity and romance which comes with age and experience. There has been but little buffeting by the storms of fate. There have been no meteoric elevations to positions of great trust or honor. Their chronicles have thus far been uneventful, but how could it be otherwise ? The annals of infancy are always brief. Wait until our S. P. N. grows older. Wait until the gloss on your desk shall have been dulled by age; wait until the cream of the untarnished bricks shall have been tinged with the ancient green of moss; wait until the ivies shall have grown tall and full; wait until that doorstep can hold the falling rain in its long worn hollow; then, perhaps, if you ask my uncertain hand to write about the alumni. I may have both history and romance to trace. Then I may have some great name on which my pen will linger; then, too, taking the friendships and rivalries of by-gone school days as the woof, I may have some little romance to weave; then, but not until then. —'99 78 “Jest a Leetle” Farmer Stebbms goes down to visit Jerry at the Normal, witnesses a Jield day, escapes, gets home and reports : | A AS, I had a party good time, till yesterday. Them Normal folks is all right, but they’re noisier 'n all git out. Say Manner, that there field day yesterday beat anything I ever see ! Them Normal fellers pranced out there right before everybody, with nothin’ more on than a lot 'o Hottentots, and Jerry he didn’t have no more ’n his share ’o duds neither. Some of ’em wore slippers with corks in their toes. I thought they was goin to climb the greased pole, but a feller said they was the splinters, whatever that meant. Two of ’em carried long poles, and I cal’lated there was goin’ to be a log rollin’, but I didn't see no pond. Bymebye some o’ 'em jogged down the road aways and got in line and begun to git down on all fours. I’ve seen three-legged races an’ sack races, an’ potato races, but I’ll be hanged if I ever see men run a race jest like so many dogs ; well, I did'nt this time neither. Someone fired a pistol, and them fellers straightened up an’ come down the road lickety brindle. Purty quick they fetched on some uncommon long saw-horses and sot cm up, and some o’ the fellers galloped over ’em. They called it a curdlc-race, or somethin’ like that. So they kept on runnin’ and jumpin’ and throwin’ a cannon-ball they had there, and doin’ a lot o' curi’s tricks, an’ all the time the folks in the grand stand was shakin’ flags, an’ tootin’ horns, an’ yellin’ the craziest jumble o’ words y’ ever heard. All at once they dried up an’ a feller over in the jedge’s stand bellered somethin’, and then I thought the world was cornin’ to a end. Everybody jumped and hollered like all possessed. I didn’t stop to say good-by to Jerry. I tumbled down offen the fence, and scooted for the depot, an' here I am, mostly, I guess. Yaas, them’s nice 'nough folks down there where Jerry is, but a le-e-tle too obstrep'rous — jest a leetle ! 79 Jokes and Grinds Evening session of Senior Dramatic Committee (illustrating a Normal abnormality): P - - - ey—We’re too loquacious.

Bv fcl that in that sesoun on a day. To Normal as I took my gladsome way. At morn was come into'that 1 emery, Ful hoondreds three all in a compainye. A President ther was. a gcntil man. In patience grctc advvscd he as feu can ; Grey was his cote, his herd was grey also, His color stiff and turned down lowe. His cygen twinkled in his heed aright To see the faithful folk and eke the erring wight. A man there was who lovedc bugs and bones, Not oft from him did come nor sighs nor grones, And hardily he was not undergrowe. There was no one who liked him not, I trowc. A Supervisor eke their wolde be, A kerchief whit about her neck wered sche. And from her belt she heng a smalle bag To liolpen all her zeal slid never flag. And one there was who taught of deeds now past, His knowledge organized from first to last. A gentil curtcys man was he Nor spake more word thanne neede to be. An artist eke her talents brought, 'Twa of the bewtiful she taught. Another artist with her haddc sche To holjien allc was her facultce. And one ther was who sought the inner mind, To prove the monkie cousin to mankind. For why he's still a dauncing bachelor gay. Is that he'd have no mnyde say slic'd obey. And one who played and sang and read the notes. At wave of stick swetc musik left our tlirotes ; And one who lovedc to joke and demonstrayte. And often to his class he did come lavtc. And one in verbs and nouns ne'er flustered. Yclept she was so that it rhymed with custard. And one there was who lovedc the poet’s song. And ne'er wolde tyre to rede the whole day long. And one who holpen us through Caesar's tome. Then Livy’s histories and Virgil’s pome. Ami one ther was who Physics taught ful wcl. Benign and long in length as all can telle. And one ther was with auburn hccre wel curled, She knew the ins and outs of this wvde world. And one there was cries “ Sit,’’ ami then cries •• Stand Lo, one has left nor shook us by the hand! ” He lovedc floures, and often wolde there lie Sweetc posies brought by him for us to see. And one who taught us how that we be strong. To 1 letter lvve inspired sche us by song. And one who taught us how to write and spclle. We needed this as listes in hall coulde telle. And one who oft “ One’s plans one's soul, did say, '• The lesson is what you will have to day.” The others all had comen for to lemc. To techc to others when sholde come their terne. A little mayde ther was from Bangor way. Talking scl’ic was or sjieking all the day. A Clarke ther was from Rapids Grand also. Who cam to maken Nautilus to go. A beauteous mayde there was, with lovyres two. When both were nigh she knew not what to do. And one there was, a tall and handsome man, And him the dentist herte as only dentist can. And one there was who hailed from Green Bay. She studied all the night as in the day. And one. a poet, artist, orator. And none but lassie Scotch had he eyes for. A Pointer chief, in height but four feet three, Tho' Poll sche has. no spinster will sche be. And many more ther were of Normal fame. Too numerous for me of them to nayme. 8l Botanical Classification Common Name Scientific Name Family Habitat Locality Rrmatki BRADFORD . Mirabilis Benefactress Sympatlictica.

S3 The Palace Beautif ul iND it came to pass, as I journeyed through a far country in the land of the setting sun, I came to a gigantic building builded of yellow brick. The windows of this curiously fashioned building did flash in the morning sun like burnished steel. Even as I tarried by the door, a vast concourse of people came hither from all directions, and gathered themselves together as one family in this great building ; some in the innocence of youth ; some in the strength of manhood ; some whose hair was hoary with age. I asked of these, “ Who are ye?” and “ What do ye here?” They paused only to answer, “ Know ye not, oh stranger, we arc of the tribe Normalite, and seek here those treasures which moth and rust do not corrupt.” Now there was in this vast tribe a family called Forumite, who ran to bid me welcome, as was their won’t with strangers. Straightway I entered with them. The halls were of such size that a king might therein assemble his army, and leading off from these halls on either side were spacious rooms in which the several divisions of the tribe did pursue their favorite phantom. In the first hour of the day the whole tribe was assembled before a chief, who spoke a few words of kindly cheer and gentle admonition, after which the several captains took each his company and went about the business of the day. One company did inquire into the secrets of nature by mixing together divers ill-smelling compounds ; another did strive to understand the workings of the human mind ; and yet a third, whose task was most severe of all, did endeavor to polish their expression by constructing long themes out of nothing. So well pleased was I with what I had seen that I joined myself unto this tribe and became one of their number. It came to pass that in the first month of my abode among them there was heard dread rumors of the appearance of a horrid monster, a dread Sphinx, who of each did ask, What hast thou done with the talents that were given thee?” This monster was called Test. Some did smile at this rumor, and others did cry out and their cheeks became pallid as with deadly fear. The monster came, glared down on us from the black walls, passed, and the ordeal was over. But behold the ruin ! Whole families are overthrown, while yonder is a young damsel who weeps and will not be comforted. Test has searched the inmost recesses of memory, imagination and reason and found — nothing. —C. Houskworth. S4 Our Girls Pretty girls With curls, Ribbons and streamers galore; They smile All the while From the banks of the evergreen shore. —Freshmen. Solemn faces, No laces, Hair screwed up in a knot; Continual hurry, Nothing but worry To know if they’ve flunked or not. —Elementaries. Tender and true. Witty, too— The merriest girls of all; Of Cupid’s darts And shattered hearts We have no fear at all. —Juniors. Wondrous wise, Troubled sighs, Who has so many trials ? Long essays, Fine dresses, Rut June will bring back our smiles-—Seniors. S5 The Senior Class Farewell To Our President Beloved master, patient guide, Thy heart was always slow to chide The faults of youth; But quick with sympathy and praise. To lead us in the brighter ways Of steadfast truth. How shall we say farewell to thee Ere yet upon life’s stormy sea We drift apart ? Master, what language now can tell The love which will forever dwell Deep in our heart ? You’ve toiled with us for two long years, And watched us rise, through smiles and tears, Toward our goal. Sculptor-like, with hand divine, You chiseled out each noble line Within our soul. It pained you when we went astray: You knew how soon the reckoning day Would come to each; You saw us wasting precious time. Those golden hours of youth sublime, But would not preach. Resistless time doth onward How— The new will come, the old must go— • ’Tis Life’s decree; The goal is reached, the task is done, But harder toil is just begun— We are not free. But if we fall when others rise. We know that thou wilt sympathize In that hard fight, And give to us those words of cheer. As thou so oft hast given here, To make life bright- We are out beyond the harbor light. The pilot leaves the ship to-night To go ashore; Each one alone must steer his bark Out across the ocean dark, Forever more. Pilot, explain to us the chart Once again before you start Back for the land; Each wave that strikes against the keel Now seems to make the vessel reel In our weak hand- R Mulvihili. To the Wisconsin Raver Its blue waters rise up in the Northland, And south thru the dark pine woods flow, Where the ax of the woodman resounding The proud forest monarch lays low. Giant pines which have towered in grandeur, Now dethroned, of their glory are shorn, And hurled on its turbulent bosom To their doom, down the river are borne- It crashes through gorges and canons By the fury of centuries worn, In the rocks which in figures fantastic It has sculptured its way to adorn. Than the most fickle mistress more changeful. Ever shifting in wild discontent, When its mighty flood swings through the Narrows, It subsides and its passion is spent. Between green banks with villages dotted. Now majestic and stately it glides, As forth to meet spoil-laden victors A queen with her retinue rides. Till its regal tide growing more rapid, In haste with its consort to be, Is embraced by the vast Mississippi And together they sweep out to sea. —Pkari.

Me swung his fat, chubby legs back and forth, and laughed to see his great dog trying to worry an old boot into a fighting mood. Finally the dog went away and the little lad was alone again. He became lost in tlxot, and when his old grandfather hobbled by on his way to the well, lie looked up and wondered in his childish way why grandmas and grandpas always had such “crumpled” faces. But his thots were soon turned into another channel, for on the ground beside him was a great beautiful bug that seemed to have yellow fire in it. Was the moon made up of countless little bugs like that? He would ask his grandfather when he came back. The moon began to climb up over the pine trees, and he scrambled off the log and stood with his hands behind him, looking up at the sky. And then “ his star ” came out — that red star. He knew it was different from other stars and he meant to find out all about it when he grew up. He wondered if the pine trees were whispering because they felt sorry that some of their brothers and sisters had been cut down and carried away. He heaved a little sigh when he heard. “ Bed-time for Galen,” and “ Here lie is !” “ What has my boy been doing all evening?” asked the father, as he gathered the child into his arms. “ O, I been meditatin.” “ What on?” and an amused smile played around his father’s lips. “ On a log,” and Galen’s head sank on his father’s breast and he was asleep before they reached the house. — Mattik Wheklock. 90 A Trip to Hades MUFFLED gong sounded, the spirit boat glided to the landing, and Charon helped me alight on the ghostly banks of the Styx. He again plied his oars in the noiseless waters, and I was left standing alone. The owls hooted and the bats flew overhead, and I felt lonesome and disconsolate, when a distinguished looking shade approached and volunteered to be my guide. I had felt lonely up to this time, it is true. But as my spirit friend began to discourse upon the familiar theme. “One’s plan equals one’s soul,” I felt that we had held communion before. As we strolled thru the streets, I heard a familiar voice saying, “Query, does it pay?” and I beheld our worthy president surveying Ixion, rolling about on the ever-revolving wheel. “All stand,” and “Get your satchels packed,” and I turned and saw a familiar ghost, drilling a class of youthful shades in algebra. I turned away feeling quite at home. I had had a great desire to meet Frocbel, and as my companion led me toward him, I saw him conversing with a spirit, who said, as I drew near, “Why— yes—really—but then, yon know there is no distinct line of demarcation. At least, I found it so in the other world. I heard a melancholy voice near by as a tall shade passed by me weeping, a roll of papers in his hand. My friend explained that this was Raphael, wailing over C-'s, which a little spirit with a big blue apron had given him. I found the aforesaid criticising Michael Angelo’s clay modeling, and I heard as I passed by these familiar words: “There is no feeling in your work, none whatever.” Another shade approached; a fat, jolly one with dimples. I found on inquiry that he was the terror of all Hades, for the inhabitants never knew when he would make them write terrible documents called tests. And it was verily said that he was happiest on these test days. The familiar words, “ Pile on more slabs,” “ Burn more oil,” or “ I’ll get after you with a sharp stick,” broke upon my confused senses. I was wondering if this wasn’t--when a cruel voice rang in my ears, “For mercy’s sake, get up! You’ll miss that eight o’clock class of yours! ” 9' —Lavra Hhnijkrson. Farewell The muse has fled ; the ink is dried ; With hope, with fear, with some regret For many failings, with us yet, We lay our rambling pen aside, Farewell! Farewell! O little booklet, fresh and new, We bid you now a fond Adieu.” Godspeed,” to some far distant clime, But list, the burden of our rhyme, Farewell! Farewell! 92 State Normal School at Stevens Point, Wis. A WELL EQUIPPED MODERN INSTITUTION FOR THE TRAINING OF TEACHERS It offers all the courses authorized by the Board of Regents of Normal Schools.
