You have finished the prescribed course; you have fought a good fight; you have kept the faith of honest endeavor for a worthy purpose; you deserve the congratulations showered upon you. Let me admonish you that a purpose attained should lead to the formation of a higher purpose. This purpose may be near or remote, clear or vague, strong or weak, impelling or sluggish, but the choice of a worthy purpose should be made. T he primary question is, “How shall I become a man and do a man’s work in the world.” All other problems pale into insignificance. What as you stand to-day on the vantage ground of your graduation, is your dominating purpose, the purpose that gives motive for action, reason for restraint, light to the eye, courage and cheer to the heart, energy to the body, and indomitable resolution to the will? Have you formulated it? Have you fashioned the ideal of the work you are to do, and the power you are to be ten or twenty years hence? Make instant and careful decision. The aim, the purpose, is the overmastering thing in life. Pursue it with perseverance and opportunities for its attainment will spring up on every hand, as the vitalizing purpose is alert and ever creates the conditions that make for improvements. The Creator has, in His infinite goodness, endowed all of us with the instinct for growth—we are born to grow. We can grow in courage, in power, in faith, and in wisdom, only thru the performance of our daily tasks with promptness and fidelity, conscious in our hearts that none could better our performance. There is no wiser method of analyzing our expanding purposes, and preparing to do large things in the future, than by the proper discharge of the duties of the present, approaching each in the spirit of the artist, and doing each as thoroughly as if it were a final result. Keep your body, mind, and heart persistently at their best. Seize every opportunity for growth thru university education, reflection and action. Say repeatedly, “I must, I can, I will.” Never lose sight of the higher purpose that animates you. The laurel of genuine success will crown your every effort, and you will grow into the stature of the men and women that God intended you to reach. John F.

Meehan Pfipfner Bessie Doolittle Willis Boston I 151 EVEN years of his life—in the blossom and fruit of his maturity—he gave to the Stevens Point Normal. Believing in the doctrine that all instruction must be given in order to further the mental and spiritual growth of the student and that there can he no mental or moral development save through the student’s activity of mind and conscience, he was in letter and spirit a living example of his creed. No one lived more closely to a line of morals and no one exacted more thorough and complete preparation of the tasks assigned than he. Students had confidence in him while his masterful methods of teaching caused the growth which was almost perceptible from week to week. He was a gentleman of unimpeachable character, genial disposition, accurate and thorough scholarship. Nature cast him in a noble mold—one that made for success. Students and Faculty mourn the untimely departure of this Christian scholar and teacher, whose memory is enshrined in their hearts. April 25, 1916. [ 16] Frank N. Spindler, A. M. Vice-President.

It consists of nearly two hundred members, an increase, over last year’s class, of about thirty per cent. The class was well represented in the school activities. I he captain and five other members of the football squad were Juniors. Only one Junior was on the basketball team, however. The class also has several musicians among its members, having four representatives in the Orchestra, twelve in the Glee Club, and twenty-three in the Treble Clef. Two of the Pointer staff are Juniors, and the class has a fair representation among the literary societies, and as proof that we have scholars among our ranks, examination of the Honor Roll will show that during the first semester’s work four Juniors received High Honor, and twenty-seven received Honorable Mention. As for debaters, three of the six debaters representing the school in the River Falls-Superior-Stevens Point debate are Juniors, and our Junior debating team won from the Oshkosh team unanimously. Wood, '17.

At this meeting Elizabeth Burke was elected chairman to perform the duties of president until the members of the class were better acquainted and better able to elect the person best suited to the office. At this meeting we also made arrangements for a sophomore reception. One boy suggested that a “Clean-up Committee”, composed of five be appointed to take charge. A chaperon was needed to help complete the committee. At the second meeting, Russel Stemen was elected president, Warren Blodgett, vice-president, Elizabeth Burke, secretary, and Leslie Hogan, treasurer. Upon Hogan's departure, Charles Burns was elected treasurer. It was in football that the Sophomores were distinguished. Out of the required eleven, ten of the boys were Sophomores, and the remainder were Juniors, Seniors, etc. How proud we Sophomores on the side lines felt when our splendid lads came onto the field! And then when one of those eleven wonders of the school made a touchdown, with a wild yell, up went the Sophomores, feet and all, and then down they came bringing the fence posts with them. Our class was well represented in the girls' basketball tournament, too, having supplied two teams with players. These two teams, the Academic and High School Dep’t, tied for third place, (being all Sophomores it could not have been otherwise) and the [60] Academic team won with greater scores and even beat the High School team because there were five Sophomores on the Academic team and only four on the H. S. team. Our biggest honor came when one member of our class, Martin Paulsen, became the school orator. In the delivery of his oration, “The Maintenance of America's Leadership”, he showed remarkable ability and so with a great feeling of optimism we sent him to Superior to represent S. P. N. in the annual oratorical contest. Charles Burns went as delegate from our class. We anxiously awaited returns, which came at last. Our orator had won third place! So many things in our class go by threes. The class itself is the third year of the Academic course, the first year of a three year H. S. course; we girls as above stated won third place in the tournament, and so, for custom’s sake, our orator must needs decline anything but third place. These honors, along with the many others, too numerous to mention, have proved our class indispensable to the school; and so in closing: “To the Sophomores to come ue wish to say. If you prove yourselves as fine as we, You will deserve the proud praise of the rest of the school, And one of the finest of classes you'll be.’’ O. P.

This department opened with an enrollment of forty-live students, thirteen of whom graduated the tirst year. The second year the enrollment reached seventy-five with a graduating class of thirty students, and the third year the department numbered one hundred fifty, the largest enrollment in the state. At the opening of the second year there was also added to the department an assistant director. Miss Jennie Graham. Last July, Mr. Phelan resigned his position as director and the department is now in charge of Mr. O. W. Neale. About this time, the Rural Observation School was moved from Custer to its present location, three miles northeast of the city. We have been unable to supply the demand for our well-qualified teachers. Five of our graduates who finished at holiday time are now holding excellent positions. Besides the Academic work offered, students are allowed to take a short course in Home Economics and Manual Training, and are required to take twenty-seven weeks of practice in the training department of the school. The social side of the department has not been omitted. Four social clubs are at the present time in progress, each of which meets once a month. Besides the club work, receptions are given at various times. Each week the department holds a special assembly at which both interesting and helpful programs are provided. The girls organized a basket ball team and won high honors in the Annual Basket Ball Tournament. The boys, besides taking part in the athletics of the school, are loyal members of the Forum-Athenaeum Debating Society. A play “Back to the Farm” will be given at several places in the country in the near future. [66] FARMERS’ AND HOMEMAKERS’ CONFERENCE J7ACH year there is held in our school a Farmers' and Home makers' Conference to which all farmers and their wives arc invited. At this meeting a special social entertainment is provided for men, women, and children.. This year Hon. J. L. McBrien of Washington, D. C. was one of the most interesting speakers. COURSES OFFERED We now have in operation three courses, a One Year Course for high school graduates, a Two Year Course for students holding Eighth Grade Diplomas, and a Two Year Course for high school graduates which entitles students to a life certificate besides a bonus of ten dollars a month for the first year and fifteen dollars a month for each succeeding year. WISCONSIN CLUB Feeling that the rural schools must become a more important factor in country life and contribute more toward the solution of its problems, the Wisconsin Club was organized with a view of a faithful study of the near, the here, and the now, the significance of the community occupations and businesses, as well as the agencies that are obstacles. The investigations during the fourth quarter were consigned to the Portage division of the club, and took the form of a sweeping, economic and social survey of the whole county. [67] [68 J I 69 1 [70] THE TRAINING DEPARTMENT rT ,HE Training Department of this school year 1915—1916 deserves even more than the usual amount of attention. The enrollment has steadily increased, so that there are, in eight grades, two hundred fifty-three pupils. Since this year’s addition of a new critic teacher, Principal Hyer has eight model teachers to help in teaching and supervising the practice work, and still another teacher for the department will be necessary for next year. The practice work is carried on in seventeen conveniently equipped rooms which are a credit to the institution. The enrollment is divided among the eight grades as follows: GRADE First and Second. Third and Fourth Fifth .......... Sixth .......... Seventh ........ Eighth ......... ENROLLMENT ....64 ....64 ....29 ....23 ....42 .... 30 OBSERVATION ROOM A VERY unusual, and, indeed, the most up to date feature of the Normal school, is the observation room, which is carried on in connection with the Training Department of our institution. The purpose of establishing the observation room was to afford opportunity to all students in the school to observe classes taught by the Principal of the Training School or by model teachers, whenever students were free from work. Principal Hyer, originator of the idea, and to whom the honor of establishing this decidedly new feature is due, deserves great credit for the thoroughness with which he has developed and perfected the plan. The system has been in working order throughout the present year and will be continued. Students desiring to become principals or supervisors will take advantage of the opportunity offered by the observation room to study the work more or less continuously for an extended period. The program of the observation room is so planned that those [72] who wish may observe work through all eight grades. It is also planned that students may take observation work for credit in addition to practice work. Any student, so desiring, may follow the teaching of one subject throughout the year. Students who observe work for credit are required to write criticisms of the work, following a very definite set of suggestions furnished by Mr. Hycr. A typical observation room program, the one for the fourth quarter of the present year, is shown here.

The work has been correspondingly successful under the direction of Miss Eleanor Flanagan, whom we consider especially adapted in this line of work. Miss Flanagan is a graduate of Pratt Institute and a graduate of Highland Park and The Academy of Fine Arts. Classes in drawing and construction are conducted for all departments in the Normal. The work became so heavy that it was necessary to hire an assistant, Miss Hazel Rice, who is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago, Stevens Point Normal School and Columbia University. Miss Annabellc Dunlap is a regular assistant, also, and has charge of the art work in the training department. Miss Flanagan and her assistants have charge of the drawing in the normal, training, and parochial schools. The classes in Interior Decoration, which are composed of Home Economics girls, studied and planned the furnishing of a home. The house plans were previously made in the Mechanical Drawing department. Prefacing this work, held trips were taken to observe lots for building, lectures were given on “The History of Furniture by Professor E. T. Smith, “Oriental and Domestic Rugs by Mrs. Short, “The Construction of Modern Furniture by Professor C. Bowman, and “Ceramics by Miss Flanagan. The students were then able to plan the furnishing and decoration of a house more intelligently. Work in Construction is adapted to the various departments and their needs, including paper construction, book binding, weaving, and applied design. “Good Composition is the watchword in the classes in design. The aim of our department, to make the course practical and to develop appreciation and good composition in the execution of all work, has been attained under the splendid instruction of our director.

Why,” said the old lady, “Minnie wants to be a teacher in domestic science, and she’s taking a course in household derangements down at the Abnormal school.”—Life. 177] HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT YY ITH the opening of school last fall, 1915, Stevens Point ™ Normal surpassed all former records made in the enrollment in the Domestic Science Department. People are becoming aware of the fact that this normal is offering an excellent course in Domestic Science, as is manifested by the attendance of so many students from all parts of the state. During the course of the year the department's name was changed to Home Economics by the Board of Normal School Regents. The department of this year has many advantages over that of last year. In the first place we have the new addition. It contains modern laboratories, sewing rooms, kitchens, pantries, dining, reception, exhibit and lecture rooms, and offices. The large kitchen is finished entirely in white. The floor is of white tile and to prevent noise, the cookery girls were informed to have rubber heels on their shoes. The dining room has a beautiful built-in china closet. It is furnished in mission furniture and the rug is of brown. The reception room is also furnished in mission furniture. Work that we do in the department is put into practical use in the John Francis Sims Cottages. The work in our department has grown so rapidly that three new teachers have been employed. Miss Luce teaches cookery; Miss Logren teaches both sewing and cookery, and lastly Miss Schaumberg has charge of the sewing. Miss Tupper, who came to us last year, teaches millinery and advanced sewing. Miss Allen, our supervisor of the entire department, observes our practise work besides conducting classes in Cookery 3, Dietetics and Organization. The Home Economics girls take part in other lines of activities in the school. The presidents of the two literary societies, of the Treble Clef Club, of the Senior Class, and of the Y. W. C. A. are all of our number. The treasurer of the Senior Class, Secretary and Treasurer of the Junior Class and the Editor-in-Chief of the Iris are also Home Economics people. Frequent exhibits were given during the year of the sewing and millinery work. Our services were given to many social functions during the year. The completion of the new dormitory will offer many excellent opportunities for new lines of work. We, as Seniors, bequeath this pleasure to the classes to follow. [78 1 [ ?y] JOHN FRANCIS SIMS COTTAGES ' I 'HE normal cottages are being occupied for the first time by the Home Economics girls of the class of 1916. Each cottage has a group of four girls. Every third week two girls of each group move out while two girls of a new group take their places. Each girl is assigned the work of mistress, cook, waitress, and chamber maid respectively. The cook plans the meals with the mistress and prepares them. She also washes dishes and keeps the kitchen clean. 'Hie waitress assists the cook, serves and keeps the dining room, table linen, and silver in order. The chamber maid keeps the upstairs clean. She with the mistress, does the family washing. In addition, the mistress does the marketing, keeps the accounts, cleans the living room, entertains callers, and answers bells. The average cost of board, plus the supervisors share, is the amount to be used for the expenses of each cottage. Out of this, two formal dinners are given by each group. All bed linen, towels, table linen, doilies, curtains, and bedroom rugs have been made by the sewing classes. The canned fruit and pickles have been prepared by the various classes. Several beautiful pictures have been purchased by the Home Economics Department. Others have been donated by Mr. E. T. Smith, Mr. Bish, and Mr. Congdon. A pickle fork was presented to each cottage by Mrs. Luce. The surplus money of each group has been given for the purchase of silver. Among the noted guests who have been entertained at the cottages are: Miss Conley, Inspector of Home Economics; Mr. Hicks, Inspector of Industrial Work, and Mr. Roberts, President of the Las Veges Normal. The opening day at the cottages was March 9th. Every one was invited to go through them to observe the work done there. The Board of Normal School Regents decided to name them The John Francis Sims Cottages in appreciation of Mr. Sims' splendid work in the school and the efforts he put forth in obtaining them. Living at the cottages is an enjoyable experience to every Home Economics girl. Not only the practical but the social life is very helpful. We are sure no girl regrets the four weeks spent at the cottages. r so i 181) INURING the present year the manual training department has outgrown its present space. Classes have been limited in many cases and all who wished to take manual training were not accommodated. Next year three new rooms in the basement of the new east annex will house both the shop and mechanical drawing equipment. Better light, more, and rather more advantageously arranged space, and more benches will afford the opportunity to handle larger classes in a better manner. The present equipment will be used except in some instances where substitutions of better tools and machines will be made. Mr. Robert Hills took the position as full time assistant at the opening of the second semester making it possible to open needed new courses. The domestic science, mechanical drawing and house planning course was lengthened to cover a full quarter, and work inaugurated in a special course in rural school manual training. There has been an excellent variety of furniture projects, much work was done as commercial jobs on orders booked by the students, and considering the crowded quarters the results were most gratifying. In the mechanical drawing some practical problems were worked out, such as the complete plans for a fireproof garage, complete specifications, with a supply house estimate of the cost of materials. The small house with elevations, sections, and perspectives was worked out in a number of instances. 182] [83J MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT nPHE lines of work open to the students are amplified, and the number of kinds of work increased, just as fast as the equipment and size of the teaching force will allow. At present, shop work in the grades consisting mainly of bench work in wood is offered, classes for a semester from the normal department cover elementary bench work in wood and furniture construction, and classes in rural school manual training cover a course suitable for operation in a rural school. Advanced work beyond the usual semester of shop work is offered together with the opportunity for practice teaching. In the mechanical drawing, work is offered for normal students in elementary drawing with choice of either architectural or machine drawing after the first quarter, and classes are conducted in the mechanical drawing required of all domestic science students. In this latter a careful study is made of the nature of the drawings needed for the construction of domestic science equipment and for the lay out of the domestic science room. Serving tables, units for domestic science laboratory tables, and similar problems are drawn. A study is made of the history and development of the house and first and second floor plans arc made. Some portion of the floor plan is worked up into an interior perspective and some built in buffet, pantry cupboard, or case from the plan is drawn, as would be necessary if it were to be made in the factory. With the new space which will be available next year it is planned to do more in the way of commercial jobs, that is, taking orders from outside parties and making them up in the shop, the grade work will be extended to cover simple concrete construction, the normal work added, to be installing a small printing plant, and more opportunity afforded for practice teaching by accommodating more of the classes from the parochial schools. The department has a chance for decided growth and with facilities in the way of equipment and space there is no reason why it should not continue to increase as it has. With the appropriation the same as it was when the departmental enrollment was one third that at present, a considerable degree of success has been attained in extending the scope and increasing the amount of the work done by the students. At present the outlook is decidedly good and with a continuance of its share in the rapidly growing enrollment of the school as a whole, the contribution of the manual training department to the work of the school will continue to increase. 184] Iff; “ “THE MIKADO” A BIG dramatic production, “The Mikado, was given in the Normal auditorium. May 26th. This was one of the biggest attractions of any kind given at Normal, during the season.

A new feature of the work, that of playing at assembly every Tuesday morning, was carried out.

Under the able direction of Prof. E. T. Smith the old members of the club, and several new members, wrote a successful one act farce entitled “When Ed Went to Wed. This farce and “The Teeth of a Gift Horse, another well presented farce, represented a large feature of the Mardi Gras, one of the leading events of the school year. The club is composed mainly of Seniors, but there is some promising material among the Juniors of this year to make up the deficiency. The club owes its success along dramatic lines to Professor Smith who has worked unceasingly for its promotion.

In October a number of the new members were cordially welcomed into the ranks of the society for two of the best times the society has enjoyed this year. We are indebted to one of our members, Miss Pearl 1 leffner, who opened her home to the society at a Christmas party and later for our sleigh ride the evening before our first contest. It was a glorious ride and we all made the air ring with Arena yells. The big events of the year have been the series of contests between the Arena and Ohiyesa societies. Three were planned, two of which have already taken place. The first was a model program contest, each society presenting what it considered a model program for a literary society. The Indians, having a much larger membership, were felt to be the obvious winners, but the Arenas made up in ability what they lacked in numbers. Backed by the loyal support of the society, the contestants for Arena won. The second contest, one composed of three declamations from each society, was lost to the Ohiyesa, although Cecelia Malcheski of the Arena received first place with her rendition of “Sally Ann’s Experience.” The other two Arena contestants were Esther Kelly, who gave “Virginia of Virginia,” and Winnie Delzell with “When the Cows Come Home,” for her offering. The third and last oratorical contest, will be held in the near future, and is anticipated with great excitement, as the winner of that will be the winner of the series and of the cup furnished by Mr. Smith and the dramatic club.

President Vice President Secretary Treasurer LOYOLA CLUB DUE to the large number of Catholic students enrolled in the Normal this year, a new organization, the Loyola Club, was formed. For several years a large percentage of the students of the Stevens Point Normal have been Catholic, but never before has definite action been taken in organization. The club at present is composed of nearly two hundred members, every Catholic student in school taking an active part in it. The purpose of the organization is to bring the Catholic students together, and to keep them in close touch with their religion. With this end in view, the club secures Catholic speakers to address its members. Besides the priests of the local Catholic churches, several prominent men from out of town have lectured to the club on subjects of vital interest to Catholics. Religious instruction, however, is not the only thing which the organization gives to its members. Several social events have thus far taken place, and several more will be given by the club in the future. These social activities arouse enthusiasm in the organization and bring about a spirit of interest in its members. The club was organized shortly after the opening of school. Although young, it has produced good results, under the able direction of Miss Flanagan. It has succeeded wonderfully, and we sincerely hope that it will continue to do so in the future.

In combining parliamentary practice with the regular programs, the members took a new interest in affairs. All members took prominent part in debating and other public speaking aids. The senior Mardi Gras was made more successful by the co-operation of the Coon Town Minstrels put on by the members of the Forum Athenaeum. We arc proud of the fact that we can point to the Triangular Debate as one of the results of our work in public speaking. Four of the debaters are members of the Forum Athenaeum. With a strong force of officers this last quarter, the society is doing some tine work. When the Forum Athenaeum starts out the coming year, they will have a strong organization ready to do work that will be a great help to the members and will stand as a record for future societies. G.

MISS SCHAl MBERG I 1031 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB THE Home Economics Club is one of the newest clubs in the school, but is also one of the largest, most active, most successful, and beneficial of school organizations. Its active members number one hundred four and there are four social members. The active members are those enrolled in the Home Economics Department who desire to join. I he social members are any persons, not necessarily members of the student body, especially interested in the work who have been voted in hv the club. The officers are elected once a year and they, with two members of the faculty, constitute the executive council. The club has had a number of very interesting meetings throughout the year. Mrs. Short’s talk on Pottery was very beneficial. At the beginning of the year we had our first social meeting in the gymnasium to welcome all new members and they had an evening of fun. The club had an art exhibit both at the Normal and at the library, at which Mr. Neale gave a talk on pictures. Just before the Christmas holidays, we had a Christmas party, every member receiving a toy. Phis, like all our other social meetings, was pure fun. May the twentieth found the Palace of Sweets turned into a spring garden with dainty spring maidens to serve the public with goodies. This was done to pay the Iris bill. Miss Crooks gave a most interesting and instructive lecture on Textiles, April the twelfth. Her pleasing personality and extended knowledge was an incentive to all the girls to go out and do “big things too. Grace Taylor went to the Oratorical Contest at Superior as a delegate from the Home Economics and Arena. Our closing meeting of the year is always an annual picnic. The Home Economics Club has become very popular at the Normal because of its pie and candy sales. I he club has proven a success educationally, financially, and socially. Vigor, vim, force, Vigor, vim, force, Home Economics. Well, of course. We have, vigor, We have vim, We can wash And hake and spin. Doughnuts, cookies, dumplings, pie, Can we make them? Well—I—guess.

Many days his paddle glistened, Many nights his campfires shone As he journeyed nearer, nearer. Here to claim her for his own. Pebbles grating, waters splashing, He has landed, sprung ashore, Bright as jeweled waters flashing Smiles the maid her brave before. He, the true and brave Cayugan, Who had fought the hostile bands.

I 109] HISTORY OF THE OHIYESA SOCIETY IN the fall of 1905, a few of the girls under the leadership of Lottie Deyoe, organized a society and called themselves the “Ohiyesa . In the time since, the society has grown until now it boasts more than one hundred members. The aim of the society reaches beyond the ordinary cultural results which come from a literary society. It is distinctly a character forming organization. This is probably why it is so successful. The members all desire to bring to the Indian race, the glory of which it has been shorn by misrepresentation and prejudice, and to instil the beauty of the red man's nature into the lives of the maidens who call themselves the Indian name. The initiation services were held in October where the old Indians joined with the officers in welcoming the new members. The long lines of aspiring members were led up the stairs to the art annex, where the officers were seated on opposite sides and ends of the room, each dressed in the garb of her office. At the conclusion of the ceremony, refreshments were served. The club had a “Night at the Gem . Here special features were put on and the evening was a very entertaining one. Perhaps the biggest success of the year was the “Day at the Pal. The rooms were attractively decorated with tiny wigwams and artistic menu cards were found on each table. Many Indian dishes were served by truly Indian maidens. Besides the work of the year, the society had made plans for the future. We hope to have room in the new addition to he exclusively for our own use. Each member of the society will file a paper upon some subject of interest, regarding the Indians. All members, both alumni and present, will aid in making the room a place of beauty and interest by sending Indian relics to the society. This will give the organization a fame, at least state wide, as a headquarters for information upon Indians, as well as for what in time will doubtless prove to be a valuable collection of Indian relics. One great pleasure looked forward to is that of the Alumni Ohivesa Banquet, which will be held annually at the Milwaukee State Teachers' Association. To this banquet the society shall send delegates. The prospects are fair that soon the red men of the ancient world will be replaced by many fair skinned Indians who have all the virtues of the red men. [ no] OHIYESA YELLS 0 h iycsa—1 sh-ka-uga !

' THE Young Women's Christian Association is a national organi- zation which aims to unite girls in Christian work. Our work began last fall on enrollment day. An information bureau was conducted, all trains were met, and suitable rooms were found for the new girls. An informal reception was given during the first week of school, at which everyone became acquainted. The Y. W. C. A. members realize what the association has meant to us and in a measure what it would mean to others. In this spirit we extended personal invitations to all girls to join. A large number of girls were initiated in October by the use of the impressive candle service. Father Gear talked on “Womanhood at that time. We then had about one hundred thirty members in the association with whom to begin our usual work. The regular meetings are held every Tuesday at 4 P. M. These meetings afford opportunities for mental and spiritual development. One meeting of special interest consisted of a reading from “Bitter Sweet given by Mrs. Wallbridgc and a vocal solo by Miss Baker. At least one half of the talks arc given by the girls themselves. The subjects discussed arc of interest to every girl and arc of this nature: “The Value of a Savings Account, and “An Ideal Student Life. Morning matins are held during a part of each year. The cabinet, composed of thirteen members, is the executive head of the association. Our cabinet meetings have been very profitable, and especially the one at which Miss Richardson, our new field secretary, was present. The suggestions of the cabinet have been carried out by the co-operation and efforts of each member. Each summer, delegates are sent to the Lake Geneva Institute. Last year our president and social chairman attended, bringing back much inspiration with them. It is the aim of the association to send more delegates this year, for which a Geneva fund has been created. Various social events have been given in connection with the religious work. Several hikes were enjoyed to River Pines and to Plover Hills. A Hollowe’en party was given in the Delzell home. The first annual banquet was held in February in honor of Mary Louise Allen, the editor of the “Association Monthly. A school calendar was also edited by the Y. W. C. A. this year. Carroll Glee Club gave a concert, April 5th, under the auspices of the association. [ 115] This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the V. V. C. A. in this country. The celebrations of this event are nation wide. A service for this purpose was held in the Presbyterian church, March 5th, and was also in memory of Grace H. Dodge, who, during her lifetime, worked continually for the Y. W. C. A. May the Y. V. C. A. follow the watchword of Miss Dodge: “Not only to dream dreams, but to make those dreams come true.” [ 116] HOUSEMAN DOYLE ELLIS OFFICERS Jeanette Houseman....................Senior Chairman Viola Doyle..........................Junior Chairman April Ellis..........................Secy-Trcas.

The spirit shown was one to he commended and is the spirit which will help develop a championship team the coming school year. Also must credit he given to Coach Corneal and his assistants, Mr. Watson and Mr. Fairchild, for their untiring efforts in coach- ing the team. FOOT BALL SCHEDULE 1915-1916 Oct. 2 S. P.

Lor answer, Dorothy Franklin handed him a slip of paper well known to the students of the school as the excuse slip. “Tooth-ache? he asked, “You don’t mean to say you stayed out of school for a tooth-ache? “But it was an awfully bail one, she answered meekly. “Was it severe enough to have kept you at home if you had been teaching your own school?” A feeble “Yes sir,’’ was the reply. The President’s lips curled slightly in a knowing smile, while he stamped his signature in the proper place, and wrote with blue pencil across one end, “Admit to class. Dorothy took the slip and departed in such l ste that she nearly collided with austere Miss Barb who happened to be passing through the hall. Miss Barb had the unspoken reputation of being a “perfect student. She never skipped general exercises, never loitered in the halls; never chewed gum in class, nor scattered bits of paper on the floor. Miss Barb always had her lessons perfectly, and consequently never “bluffed ; she probably never envied the successful “bluffer. Duty was always considered before pleasure; she would stay home from a basket-ball game to prepare a lesson. But in her effort to perfect herself she forgot about others. She had assumed an air of superiority over her classmates, whom she regarded as watching every minute for an opportunity to jeer at her, should she fail to perform her duties to perfection. It was this idea that prompted her to do what was right. As Miss Barb was never tardy nor absent, she had no use for an excuse slip; nevertheless she knew what that blue writing on Dorothy’s excuse meant, and at once proceeded to explain. “It isn’t a valid excuse, she declared, and then, added. “Really, I fail to understand why some students persist in being absent when it is not positively necessary. Dorothy paused between two conflicting desires: One, to seize M iss Barb by the hair and bump her head against the bulletin board; and the other, to assume an expression of contempt, hold her head high, and walk proudly out of the “perfect student’s presence. She had just decided in favor of the latter inclination, when Miss Barb, apparently divining her intentions, deliberately held her head high and walked out of Dorothy's presence. Fortunately, the two did not meet again until two periods later, l 127 1 in mathematics class under Prof. Spald. At the close of the period he announced, “I want your note books handed in to-morrow. I shall deduct five percent from the standing of anyone who does not hand his in on time.” Dorothy did not become very serious over the announcement because it happened her note book was all up to date and ready. Miss Barb, on the other hand, became very worried. She had neglected to keep up hers, because she had not understood that they were to be handed in, and consequently had spent her time on things which would better enable her to flaunt her successes in the faces of her envious classmates. But the book must be in. What should she do? Her pride prevented her borrowing some one else’s and copying the notes; she would not have time to copy the entire book anyway. Just then she glanced over at Dorothy's note book and for the first time noticed that Dorothy’s writing was remarkably similar to her own, and their note books were of the same make. The bell rang and of one accord the class rose and jostled out of the room. That evening, after dark, a figure entered the old assembly room, and nervously turned on the lights. Then, furtively, she made her way over to Dorothy's desk, opened and fumbled over the books until she was certain there was no note book there. Her heart sank, but on second thought she looked through the desk in front of the one through which she had searched, and there— Oh, Joy! — was the coveted note book! Involuntarily she glanced around, and then very casually picked it up and left the room. The next afternoon, Dorothy hurried into the assembly room, about two minutes after the bell rang, and looked in her desk for the note book. It was gone! A search through her own desk as well as all her neighbors’ desks, proved fruitless. It was already five minutes since the bell had rung, so she was compelled to hurry on. Dorothy intended to inform Professor Spald of her loss, but owing to the presence of President Jones in the class, she decided to tell Professor Spald after class. But it slipped her mind then and she hurried on to a meeting of the Philomathian which detained her until after Prof. Spald had gone home. Thus the matter went unexplained. The next morning. Dorothy was late for general exercises, and as she hurried panting down the hall, a roar of laughter greeted her cars. “Professor Spald has charge to-day,” she thought to her self, and increased her speed a trifle (if such were possible). She arrived just in time to hear the closing remark of his favorite little sermon, “If there’s anything I hate and despise it’s a thief and a liar.” [ 128] “Who has been stealing now? questioned Dorothy of the girl next to her, who happened to be Miss Barb. “Oh someone has mislaid a note book, she said, briefly. “It was that notice you handed in this morning,” explained Dorothy’s best friend, who sat just in front of her, “Your mathematics note book.” Other notices were read including a list of names through which Professor Spald stumbled with difficulty, to the amusement of both faculty and students. A violin solo was to be given that morning and upon the announcement, Dorothy assumed the most comfortable position possible, her elbow on the arm of the chair and her chin resting in the palm of her hand. She loved music and was preparing for a good-old-fashioned reverie. A long low strain—and the world was forgotten. From afar off the tones seemed to come, then nearer—nearer—the melody swelled to its greatest volume, then softened, but on and on it continued—it throbbed, it cried, it whimpered, it sobbed. During it all Dorothy experienced a peculiar, a spiritual struggle; a new ideal was fighting its way in to her favor. Skipping classes was a trick for sneaks only; writing in text books now seemed disgusting rather than clever. Neglect of lessons revealed laziness and carelessness rather than the “happy-go-lucky' spirit in which it was done. Just then there came a crash in the music — the break in the famous “Broken Melody”, but for Dorothy it was the echo of the cry of her guilty conscience. She thought of Miss Barb. She never did anything wrong. How clear and sweet her conscience must be! Ah! If we only knew what little ground for envy we have, would we be so covetous? The idea, thus born, bothered Dorothy all day. Ought she to pattern after Miss Barb—after all? She suddenly caught herself tearing an old letter into bits and through force of habit almost deposited the handful on the desk. Instead she carried them over and put them into the waste basket at the back of the room. In his class that afternoon, Prof. Spald asked, “Who will volunteer to remain for a short time to help look over the note books?” Miss Barb’s hand went up from force of habit, probably before she thought. Dorothy decided this would be as good a time as any to explain the delay of her note book, so remained, also. During the interim of the passing of classes. Prof. Spald had been looking through one of the note books. Suddenly he stopped and curiously read something. An amused expression spread over his face but gradually it changed to one of severity, as he turned t 129 ] to the cover and looked for the name. He seemed surprised at what he saw, and immediately glanced up at Miss Barb. “M iss Barb, I was just looking through your note book and I have found a rather questionable stanza.” Then he read the following: An awful one, our president! On us his anger doth he vent; And, too, ' if true he doth abuse us, Refusing, often, to excuse us! M iss Barb sat up very straight; her lower jaw fell, but snapped together again like a turtle’s as she concluded to herself: “That wretch of a Dorothy wrote that in there yesterday when the President refused to excuse her absence!” She glanced over at Dorothy, who, when she first heard the stanza had straightened up, and was now regarding with an amused and questioning look. The expression immediately changed to one of indifference which even Miss Barb understood. The “perfect student” paused for a moment. Should she confess? Or should she carry the thing through, as Dorothy’s eyes beseechingly told her to do? Prof. Spald’s stern, questioning look decided her and she stoutly declared, “I did not write that! I never saw it before! Some one else must have written it in there by mistake—or otherwise!” “But the writing is in the same hand as that in which the notes arc written.” She opened her mouth three times, as if to speak, but said nothing. She saw she was trapped and suddenly bursting into tears, she confessed the theft. Prof. Spald then turned to Dorothy, “Well, what have you to say for yourself?” “Oh, I’m very glad to get my note book back and 1 hope, under the circumstances you won’t deduct from my standing.” “But I mean, in regard to the stanza?” “Well, I didn’t intend to write it in that book. It was a mistake.” “But why did you write it at all?” he almost thundered. “Don’t you know better than writing such trash about the President of the school.” “About the President of the school?” She had been sitting down, but at those words she jumped up and indignantly declared, “I didn’t write that about the President of the school! I wrote it, yes!—but don’t you think I wrote it about the President of the school!” She paused to catch her breath, and calmed down a little. Then, with just a suggestion of a smile she said, “I wrote that about the president of our class, because (in fun) he refused to excuse me for stepping on his toe at our last class meeting.” Ora Phelps.

Emil Hafsoos James Murphy Martin Paulson President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer BRADY JUNIOR DEBATORS GILSON HULL CONE THE MAINTENANCE OF AMERICA'S LEADERSHIP ONE of the greatest questions that confronts the American people to-day is that of the rapid increase in taxation. In 1913 our national government collected 724 million dollars; in 1914, 735 million dollars, and in 1915 the tax collected was still greater. F rom this amount since the beginning of the Civil War, the government has paid for war and its results an annual amount averaging 231 million dollars. The aggregate amount of this annual appropriation for the fifty-five years is inconceivable. But compared with this vast sum for war and its results, there is another expenditure made within our borders for naught but purely destructive ends. The amount of this waste reaches the enormous sum of two billion, five hundred million dollars annually. Why a thinking people will permit the continuation of such an enormous expenditure for purely destructive purposes is most difficult to explain. There is some justification for war, for from these strifes have resulted many of the constructive activities of the world. Doubtless out of the religious struggles of Europe has come toleration; out of the French revolution came the final downfall of feudalism and the consequent growth of democracy; out of our own conflicts for humanity’s sake there has come much of the progress of the United States. Thus, war has had some constructive results following in its wake, but the institution of which I am to speak can point to no single uplifting effect. Thus far only the financial effects of this business enterprise have been mentioned. These, however, constitute the smallest portion of the consideration of this momentous question. Many have pointed out the moral degeneracy resulting from war, but war can show no moral degradation comparable to that caused by this institution. Honest investigation has been able to find no manner I 139] in which this institution has contributed to the promotion of civilization; yet it has so engrafted itself upon our social life that it has been legalized and upheld by the government of states and nations. Among the destructive activities in which it engages is that of taking resources without adequate returns; of taking even life itself. When the great financial waste and the mond degradation are considered, it would seem that there was but one step left to liberty-loving people, the complete eradication of it. But when the question of reform is broached, many people become uncertain as to what can be done with the American saloon. They raise the question of how we can remove such an institution from our midst. They are prone to object to National Prohibition at once, on the ground that prohibitory laws do not eradicate the evil; and, even if they did, the doubters urge that such measures taken would be a violation of the principles of State Rights. In answer to this first objection, let us consider what injunction has ever completely eradicated the wrong. Murder still continues, despite the divine decree that “Thou shalt not kill ’ It is not probable that National Prohibition will forever remove the temptation to intoxication, nor the means by which such a sate is attained. This fact, however, is no argument with which to bolster up an institution whose existence can be justified in no manner. In answer to the second objection that National Prohibition would be attacking the doctrine of State Rights let us note some of the other protective measures the government is asked to take within the states. A few years ago when hog cholera became a plague in the middle west, these states did not assert their rights as states in combatting this evil but even entreated the national government to aid in its eradication. I hey begged Uncle Sam to come to the rescue with all the knowledge and devices he could master in fighting the evil. These states demanded national prohibition of hog cholera without one questioning voice. At once our obliging Congress hurried to pass, and our President hastened to sign a bill appropriating $500,000 to suppress this evil. At this time no one will deny it was wholly within the province of the United States, to give such protection to states. This protection is also demanded in our National Pure Food and Drugs Act. Since protection in such matters is afforded by our National government, is it any less reasonable that protection should be afforded to the health, home, and happiness of the people within the states through the eradication of intemperance? Shall our National government pass laws to protect the brute animals of this country from disease but one one-hundredth as destructive to life as this great liquor disease and give no regard to this evil which is destroying thousands [ mo j of God's most intelligent creatures? This country has about fifty million hogs, likewise about fifty million boys and girls. Is it possible that we will exult in the aid the government gives to protect the animals and not even demand protection for the children? Our political development early demanded the creation of parties whereby men might register their honest convictions upon matters of principle to the end that the will of the majority might become law. To-day matters of principle in local and in state politics are often forgotten in order that men may vote the whiskey or no whiskey. The issues for these elections are created within the saloons and schemes are formed to thwart the wishes of the majority. This is done by schemes at times through the technicalities of law discovered by some lawyer who is employed by the brewing interests. On election day votes are secured not through logic but through drink. After election police and other executives are induced to afford protection to the saloon rather than to the people. The money which the saloon interests are willing to pay becomes the corrupting influence. In the making of laws it has become a well established fact that the brewing interests have thousands and even millions to spend on the corrupting of legislatures. In the testing of laws even judges are open to the charge of corruption. In every phase of our government, national, state, and city, the saloon is exerting its baneful influence in the corruption of party politics. Since prohibition states make a superior advance along every line of economy, sanitation and morals, over wet states, and since pure politics requires the restriction of the saloon as an institution, there would seem to be but one course to pursue. But there is however, a greater argument still. It is that of national defense. Developments in the present European war have proved quite conclusively that national defense requires complete restriction, if not total eradication, of the use of liquor. The prohibitory measures established by several of the nations have added much to the strength of those particular powers. It has become a self-evident fact that with the modern scientific development of warfare no nation can defend herself with besotted soldiers. Modern warfare means the application of all the scientific knowledge of which we are possessed. It requires quite as much intelligence and efficiency on the part of the man who fires the gun as it does of the workman who makes the weapon. If the manufacturer cannot get efficient work from his employee without restricting his use of intoxicants, it surely follows that the nation cannot be adequately defended without refusing the soldier the narcotic. This question, then becomes one not merely of finance and morals but of patriotism as well. i Ml ] Every loyal American citizen is stirred with the record this country has made towards the higher humanitarian principles. Her independence was won through the resistance of taxation without representation. She contended for equal rights and privileges on the high seas. She asserted that she would pay no tribute to pirate powers. She has restrained the hand of the oppressor. She has prevented the aggression of avaricious nations in the acquisition of territory. She has stopped warring nations in the name of humanity. She has taught the world the lesson of democracy. If she continues her leadership among the nations of the world she must see to it that no cancerous growth within her own body politic may destroy her powers of usefulness. Democracy of which our country is the boasted leader must not be destroyed by a corrupting institution of selfishness and vice. This is the most righteous cause in which our land has been interested. If the American people maintain their integrity, their good business sense, and their high moral standards, there can be but one outcome to this struggle. We still believe that a righteous cause will eventually triumph. We still believe that America is destined to leadership. We still believe that the evil that is threatening to overthrow the democratic principles upon which this nation is founded can and will be overcome. We look forward to 1920 or 1925 when this land shall be free from the curse of drink, when home shall be made more cheerful, when industry shall become more efficient and more profitable, when men shall no longer injure their fellows from the selfish hope of gain, hut will extend a helping hand, when all life shall be made more beautiful and joyous, and when all may join in the triumphant song of “Peace on earth and good will toward men.” [ M2] HOFSOOS BIRDSALL CILSON PAULSON NACHTWAY BURNS YOUNG TRIANGULAR DEBATING TEAMS I H3 J MILLER HOr-SOOS GILSON • BALDWIN MURPHY JACKSON HULL MacDONALD THE POINTER STAFF Editor-in-Chief.
