The build- ing was designed by the instructors of the manual arts department. and the structural details were worked out by Louis liamper, architect, Detroit, Michi- i gan. ll is hoped that the structure will be re:-uly for occupancy by the lfall 'l'erni. lfllfw. The cost will be 375,000 5515.000 will be available for the purchasing of new equipment, and with 810,000 worth of equipment which is already in the shops, this building when finished will be one of the best arranged and most coni- pletely equipped structures of its kind in the country. It consists of a two-story front of reinforced skeleton concrete construction and a one-story shop building of slow burning mill construction. ' ln the basement will be located a coal bin, coke bin. sand pit, oil storage room, blower. exhaust for the forge shop, shaving exhaust for the wood-working department, lumber storage room and the facilities for the repairing and storing of automobiles and the building of boats. Un one side of the corridor of the shop building will be the wood-turning shop, machine room. cabinet shop. mill room, finishing room, tool rooms and oliices: on the other side of the corridor the machine shop, forgelshop, foundry, tool rooms, storage rooms, ofiiees, locker room and toilet. The front will be occupied by the print shop, store rooms, coat rooms, class rooms, reception room, teachers' room and lecture room. The applied arts and design room, reading room, store rooms. blue print room. class rooms, mechanical drawing room, and offices for the instructors will com- pose the second lloor arrangement. This splendid equipment will give the opportunity for the best possible prepa- ration for the teaching of Manual Training, which has become one of the largest and best known departments of the school. 19 The Outlook The next year will see XfVestern Normal increase and progress in many ways. Succeeding years will watch further and more striking advancement. An opportunity to expand was given by the last Legislature which passed a bill of appropriation granting to this newest of the Michigan normals, SB-130,000 for special purposes during the six years beginning july 1, 1915 and the sum of Sl35,000 for current expenses during the year beginning july 1, 1916. lt is the plan of the .President to enlarge the building facilities in the fol- lowing order: Manual training building, to cost with equipment .. .... 25 90,000 Library building, to cost with equipment ...... . .. 100,000 Auditorium, to cost with equipment ...... .. 175,000 Gymnasium ........................................ 60,000 With the completion of the additional gymnasium the group of buildings will include ten splendid structures costing'approximately three-quarters of a million dollars. NVith the original campus of 20 acres valued at iii-l5,000g the athletic held with improvements, valued at 515210003 an appropriation of 520,000 for the purchase of land, now available through the last Legislature, and equip- ment, including library, furniture and supplies, the total valuation of the prop- erty of the Normal will reach the million dollar mark in live years. The faculty which now numbers more than 70 will increase with the ad- ditional facilities for accommodating a larger number of students. The total enrollment during the year ending .lune 30. 1916, was 1807 different students. This number represented a wide territory,-15 or more States outside of Mich- igan, and 56 counties in this State. Three hundred and twenty-nine were grad- uated in the various courses in the year 191-l-15 and this year there will be ap- proximately -l00 graduates. The library of 1-1,000 volumes of well selected books will see important additions in the next few years. The new building to cost with equipment i5100,000, will provide ample room for the growing collection of books, maga- zines, government reports and other material. The Rural Department will see changes and additions during the coming years. One much anticipated point of development will be the addition of a life certificate course in rural education. This will elevate the standard of rural schools in which graduates of this course teach, and fullill a plan of long standing. In athletics the past year has watched a growth in the interest in games and especially in the general gymnasium work for men. Approximately 200 par- ticipated in various forms of physical training work and at the athletic meet at M. A. C. live gold medals were won by the Normal track men. The next few years will record a much greater interest and with the line facilities for athletic work, XVestern Normal should rank with the colleges of the country. Splendid new buildings, additions to the already efficient teaching force, improvements and additions to the equipment, increased student numbers, and more general athletic activities are among the factors predicted in the advance- ment of the Normal School during the next live years. 20 Alumni Hack in 1906 on Commencement Day the nucleus of the present large and active alumni body which represents the growth of Wlestern Normal since 1905, was formed by the members of the second class to graduate from the school. Under the leadership of Miss Maude Grill, one of the -12 members of the class of 1906, a temporary organization was effected and a committee named to draw up a constitution. lu the fall of 1907 during the State Teachers' meeting at liattle Creek, permanent organization was completed, and Marion bl. Sherwood, at present a member of the faculty of the Normal, was elected president. To cultivate a social spirit and perpetuate associations and to promote the interests of the institution was incorporated in the constitution as drawn up by the committee in 1907. As indicated by the large attendance at the ban- quets held each year during the State Teachers' meetings and the Alumni Day celebrations every year at Commencement time, the spirit of the constitution has held through the period of nine years. There is at present an enthusiastic, strong, and helpful alumni hody more than 1,500 in number to which will be added with the class of 1916, approximately 275 life certilicate graduates. Many ol' the Normal's alumni have continued their work in colleges and universities after leaving this institution and the honor roll is a long one. To positions of importance in educational work throughout the country have a number of the school's graduates attained. XiVestern Normal is represented on the faculty of the following institutions: Northern State Normal School, Mar- quette, Michigang State Normal at lillendale, North Dakotag XVinona Normal, X'Vinona, Minnesotag XVestern State Normalg Alabama l'olytechnic School, :Xu- hurn, :Xlabamag Albion College, Michigan: and Massachusetts Agricultural Col- lege, Amherst, Massachusetts. The alumni have had an active part in the progress of the school. They have given hearty co-operation as individuals in the building up of the student body and they have been liberal contributors to the athletic lield fund. ,Xt the last meeting of the alumni organization in Saginaw in Qctober, 1915, the oliticers were elected for this year, as follows: President-Miss .Xiaiiioa l-lixcox. .. ..t.Srand Rapids Vice-l'resident-Atari:tn: N.lAA'l'l'lAN .,................ . . .Byron Center Recording Secretary-Miss MARt:ui1:in'1'E lVlcti1J1NNi-:ss ........,...

It was a motley array, this multitude which was destined as the class of 1916, to hew new paths of glory which, contrary to the general belief, lead not to the grave. Assembled in their midst were representatives from every known and unknown sec- tion of this our glorious commonwealth, from the stump lands of Charlevoix to the fields of Lenawee, from the sand dunes of Ottawa to the hills of Sanilac, from every city from Grand Rapids and Gobleville on downto the smaller, lesser towns and villages, from farm, from street, from wood, the clamoring horde had come. But all were actuated by one impulse, all had one aim and that to enter the portals of the VVestern State Nor- mal school, and to bend their backs to receive the burden which all must bear who seek Knowledge in the devious paths she loves to tread. 'Twas a noble crew, with a worthy aim, and the stamina and determination to attain that aim in spite of a doubting faculty and a scoFl'ing world. As themysteries of enrollment day were safely mastered, as the polyglot multitude lost some of their collective and individual bewilderment, as the novelty of riding on Al's dummy line wore off, the class, collectively speaking, shot its cuffs, adjusted its collar, flicked an imaginary bit of dust from its coat. and looked around. Or if policy dictate, we may say it tucked in its shirtwaist, lixed its back hair, powdered its nose and looked around Cto see perhaps, if it was in turn being looked atb. VVhen this point was reached, things began to happen. The First event of class importance, was the election. From a large held of candi- dates, Ralph Dobberteen, who was born and brought up in Sturgis, and therefore knew how to push the button and rest, was elected president. XVe say he knew how, yea, he even may have pushed the button a few times, but as for the rest, it was to him a stranger. To assist in the arduous administration of the affairs of. l916, were chosen Ruth Loughead, Kalamazoo, vice-president, john Bek, Grand Rapids, treasurer, and Neal Nyland, Grand Haven, secretary. The lirst event of social importance which drew our attention, was the faculty recep- tion. NVe were there-in more ways than one, A few of us were awe struck by the ex- panse of shirt displayed by Bill Spaulding in his soup and lish clothes. CWe learned later that it affected him the same way.J But we shook hands all around the receiving line. and had a pleasant evening generally. The faculty were royal entertainers Cthcy are still when occasion oHersD, and for the convenience of the dancers, they had waxed the floor and even provided music. We were royally introduced, entertained and sent home at ll o'clock. The faculty reception was the hrst of a series of events which helped to dispel the homesick feeling, and which served to acquaint- and unite the class and the school. The first year, '16 was well represented in athletics. Nine gridiron warriors, three basket shooters and three swatters of the horsehide sphere made up the contribution of this class to coach Spaulding's winning teams, Our athletic prestige is still intact, NVe are still well represented in the lists of gridiron, floor, diamond and track men. Members of the class of 1916 were soon active in the work of literary societies, of the Hickey Debating Club, and any of the organizations where work was to be done and good to be accomplished. Vie carried away the oratorical prize and our debates were 48 Senior Officers 4, President-ROLAND PLANT, H. S. L. . . . Coopersville Amphictyon ' VlCC-PTCSlf1CHt-INi:XTl-lRYN McCuAc14sN, Art . .

We don't care to brag, and we hate to blow about ourselves, so we will just say that we were there. As the hrst year of our life here drew to a close, we began to square ourselves for the second heat of our race in the Normal. Our return this fall, was a little more quiet, a little more dignilied, as belits Seniors. We were glad to meet again and were made happy to return the hand clasps of friends among' the faculty. We knew we were wel- come, and we entered upon our last year with a characteristic good will and determination to do even more to bring honor to our school and our class. :Xt the class election, Roland Plant, Coopersville, was elected president. As his colleagues were chosen, Kathryn McCracken, St. Joseph, vice-presidentg llelen l..e Van, Grand Rapids, secretaryg and Charles VVelden, Wheaton, lll., treasurer. These ollicers have made a worthy record, and are a representative group of which we may be proud. Our triumphs in athletics, in social life, and class work have been repeated. To these, we have undertaken to add one thing more, the publication of the linowx .xxn Goto. Early in the year, a staff, headed by Genevieve Sherman, Marshall, eidtor-in-chief, and J. Stanley Bien, Cass City, as business manager, was chosen to carry out this work. This book exists as a monument to their labors. Now the time draws near when we must turn the last leaf in our book of Western Normal life, and turn to open the volume of the life ot' linal things for which we have prepared in a measure during our stay here. W'e must part, it is inevitable that we should do so. But there are left to us memories, and with these we may live until as we hope sometime, somewhere, we meet again. So classmates, with this hope in our hearts, and a smile on our lips .-Xufwiedersehn. High School Life Course DR. NORMAN XV. CAMERON, Acting Chairman. The High School Life course Ctwo yearsj prepares for high school and de- partmental teaching, and leads to a life certilicate. lt was hrst organized as a mere appendage to the General Life Course, but it soon outgrew this com- paratively obscure position, and became a separate course. Since that time, it has grown rapidly in numbers and importance, until it is now recognized as one of the most progressive and desirable departments of the school. The standards and requirements have been placed high and the instruction facilities are of the best. The department has been especially prominent in all student activities, and its members have done much toward fostering school spirit and traditions. The caliber of the instructors together with the 'type of student selecting the course, insure a continuance of the rapid progress of the past and a most prom- ising future. 50 EDWIN Asuuzv . .....

The purpose of the course is to prepare teachers for the grades and it leads to a life certiticate. The committee which originally laid out the work, had in mind the furtherance of a thorough knowl- edge of the child, and this object has been kept in view throughout. Certain studies are required but a sullicient number of elective courses is offered which make it possible for the student to select work in which he is particularly in- terested. The demand for well-trained graded teachers is always great, and marked success has characterized the students of this course in their respective positions. 62 1 DIAN.N ASSELIN . .

The content of the courses has been modilied to harmonize more perfectly with the ideas of modern education and new courses have been oitcred as the need arose. A course in concrete construction was inaugurated this Spring Term and the young men in the class are studying the history, manufacture, and uses of Portland cement, a material that seems destined to take the place of wood in numberless places and of iron and steel in nvmv others. liorms for Warden 1' hc seats, bird baths, pedestals, jardinieres, etc., have been made and the articles completed in concrete. Cement Hoors for garages, curbs, and walks are also on the list. The common uses of cement and concrete are many and instruc- tion in this useful material is being given in many schools throughout the country. H Opportunity for major and advanced work in machine drawing, architec- tural drafting, cabinet work, machine work, etc., is now possible and as spe- cialists in teaching manual arts work are becoming more and more in demand, this move will doubtless be popular and beneficial. Under the able direction of the instructors of this department the scholars and general character of the work is being raised to a higher level. It is interesting to note that the W'estern State Normal now ranks third among special institutions in the Middle NVest for the training of teachers of Manual Arts: Stout Institute and the University of lllisconsin only, enrolling more students in their manual training courses. 74 Uma Aus'r1N . . , .

That lr'resident Hfaldo foresaw the im- portance which would attach to this problem and began the work immediately upon the opening of this school in 190-l. is a proof of his educational statesman- ship. 'lfhe 5.25 young people who have gone out from this department into the rural schools of Michigan. with graduates of other state and county normal schools. have given our State high rank in the percentage of teachers in rural schools who have had some professional preparation. There are two outstanding features in the work of the Department of Rural Schools this year. Une is the better adaptation of the Rural Demonstration School to its purpose through the remodelling and thorough modernizing of the schoolhouse by the generous co-operation of District No. 2, Kalamazoo Town- ship. .Xn addition V. as put on the building, 18 by 30 feet. This provides a com- modious work room, separate wardrobes for girls and boys, toilets and basement. ln the basement were installed a furnace and a water system. The classroom is now lighted by six windows on the east side. Yentilation, heating, lighting, water supply, wardrobes, lavatories, toilets, seating. equipment, arrangement, and deco- rations are what one might desire. .X second important activity of the department during the year was the obser- vation of the tenth anniversary of Rural Progress Day. March 10, 1916. :X valuable souvenir program presented greetings from each of the speakers in former years and summarized the progress made in Michigan in many important rural life activities. The annual rural progress lecture was given by Dr. Thomas N. Varver of 'llarvard l'nix-'ersitr on 'Tlrganization in Rural Progress. 91 HAZEL ANDREWS . Rural Seminar VVINIFRED DUCK .

NfX ith Ilob Smith. president, Reed Yroegindeweiz, vice-president, lllanche Glass, secretary, and lfred Moffatt. treasurer, we take our stand as juniors. We came in the fall of 1915 as verdant strangers. fresh and blissful in our ignoranee. We made the usual blunders and invented a few new oncs. We sent home prideful letters. full of the beautiful situation of our school, our splen- did football team, and the amount of learning' we were going to absorb. l'er- haps we sent home a 'few-very few-homesick letters. full of sighs and groans, and tender memories of-oh, lots of things. Do you remember how the faculty reception warmed the cockles of our hearts and made us look forward to many other good times? Wie had them, too. The biggest event of all was the 'Iunior Special, the fancy dress party which we all enjoyed so much. Clowns, Dutch girls. Martha W'ashing'tons, Yam Yamis, Indians and Highland lads and lassies vied with each other to make the scene gay and festive. And now we hand down to future -luniors, as a sacred custom, this new event in 'lunior life. . Never were we more proud of ourselves than when the Seniors allowed us to entertain them. We did our best to adorn the gym. so that it would be in keep- ing with the high station of our guests. Small flower-covered bowers were set up in the corners which added to the attractiveness of the decorations. We g'ras1:ed the opportunity to leave our position as lower elassmen and to rise to a higher and more sublime plane-a plane that Seniors have always and should always occupy. Did you say class spirit? Well, a splendid example of that was shown in the choice of tongues. .Xlthough modest, we do not hesitate to say, that we were entirely original in the matter of class colors. Carlyle said, .-Xppreciation is thc mark of genius, and evidently those Seniors who held our tribal headdress in no high esteem, are sadly lacking in their manifestation of genius. Yet in thir year of contact with our high classmen, we have learned to admire them. llut lest we forget, let us drink a toast to ye time spent seniors of 1016, and may time add to their glory, and may we make a brave attempt to till their place: as ncbly as they have done before us. ti.

NVe had considerable trouble becoming adjusted to the strange surroundings. Not wishing to show our ignorance of the ways of the institution and not having the nerve to ask any of the Normal students for information, since they either looked down upon us or did not even see their younger and lowlier neighbors, we found ourselves hunting our class rooms by opening every door we came to, until at last wi.h a fervent sigh of relief we struck the right one. Gradually we seitled down to the unfamiliar tasks and became ingrossed in keeping our work up. lndeed, we found ourselves in the greatest of difficulties if we came into algebra class with no answer other than a horizontal movement of the head to the ques- tions involving the terrible x's and y's, and this was characteristic of all our classes. XX-ie survived the first year somehow, and entered school again in the fall with increased self-assurance and with an air toward the new freshmen which would have made the epitaph of a literal translation of sophomore very appropriate. ilsook it up, .I had toy. Perhaps we secured the air from imitating the regular Normal students. ln the seceud year, as in the freshman, we found it rather difficult to accus- tom ourselves to the irksome routine, but with the return of cold weather, we .started in earnest to enjoy our beloved Caesar, geometry or whatever else we had included in our curriculum, through ignorance, compulsion or desire. This year we were eligible to several of the Normal functions and many of the Sophs took this opportunity of displaying their gracefulness and charm, i. e., the girls, the boys with few exceptions displaying their new-donned long trousers and accom- panying shyness and lack of skill in dancing. Thus passed our second year with study and play, for which the school makes ample brovision. As the second, so went the junior year, and with the coming of spring we looked back upon the fall and winter spent in delving, more or less diligently, into the mysteries of everything from English history to the phenomena of chemistry. A I Lfndoubtedly the most interesting and enjoyable of the four laps in our high school education has been the last one. 'During the month of October, a Senior class meeting was held in which an able corps of officers was elected. These people have been live wires in the interests of the class throughout the year. Our four years end with commencement, june 9. Although they have been very pleasant ones, yet with them we hope has come a goodly amount of the elusive something, knowledge. With each succeeding year has come a fuller appreciation of' our instructors and the school itself as well as the wonderful .athletic facilities open to our use. Even when our high school days are over, the many lasting memories and friendships, among both faculty and students, will ever cause us to believe that all too short a time was spent in the lligh School department on Normal l-lill.

SENIORS High School Activities During the year, several functions of social and cultural import have had a prominent place among the activities of the High School department. The eve- ning parties have been limited to one each term, the iirst function occurring on the evening of Friday, December 3, when the Seniors gave a reception to the other members of the department and the faculty. The party of the winter term was given February 18, and was in charge of the Freshmen and the Sophomorcs. The decorations were beautifully carried out in llags and patriotic emblems. One of the most enjoyable parties of the year, was that given the evening of May 19 by the Juniors in honor of the mem- bers of the 'lunior class. On the evening of March 15, a parent-teachers' reception was held to give the parents the opportunity of meeting the instructors and inspecting the build- ings. After a musical program by the students and a short address by President NValdo, the girls' gymnasium class gave a pleasing exhibition of the physical education work done by them during the year. Following this, the High School basketball team defeated the Niles team in an interesting game. lt is hoped to make the parent-teachers' meeting an annual affair. An innovation in the social activities of the preparatory department, was a banquet exclusively for the high school boys, given at the Park-American, April ll, honoring the Prep, basketball team. Every boy in the department and many of the men of the faculty were present at this gathering which was a most pleasant one. The I-ligh School chorus under the direction of Mrs. Davis, has met every Thursday morning throughout the year. It assisted the Normal chorus in pre- senting lVlendelssohn's lilijah at the second annual May Festival. A Boys' Cilee Club directed by Mr. lilair, and the Girls' Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Davis were organized early in the winter term. 'Dramatic clubs in which much enthusiasm has been shown, haveibeen formed among the eleventh and twelfth grade finglish classes. Some interesting de- bates have been held in class, and one public debate on military training in high schools was held at a high school assembly. During the spring term, the high school students have had their assemblies. The programs have been as follows: ' 115 Apr. l2 Lecture, ''Communicatimf'.. ...lVlr.

To which the sapient George did thus reply: 'Tis true,- and the brighter they are the quicker they come. 1Vhich remark is very apropos of the subject of the present sketch. Along about june of 1907 there was graduated from Wzibasli, College, amidst the classic shades of Craw- fordsvillc, a Little Giant, WVilliam Henry Spaulding by name. For the four years just past he had been knocking on the doors of the local athletic Hall of Fame and figuring in the public prints and at the same time winning.enconiums from his -teachers because of his scholarship. On his graduation day he emerged with an unspoiled personality, bearing a sheepskin, a line record for scholar- ,, him to a position on the All Westei'1i a Macedonian call from Michigan and gathering together his Lares and Penates, came to Kalamazoo to direct the athletics of the then youthful W'estern Normal. At this time such activities could best be described as inchoatef Wfith his appearance, however, at once there came a change silent, swift, and sure. Under his able tutelage Western Normal athletic. teams ceased to be the sport of their opponents. No longer did they come ,home clad in sackcloth and ashes, but instead they wore the wreaths of victory. Each succeeding year has seen a higher standard of ex- cellence and a larger record of victories until today our teams are regarded as worthy opponents by the best in. the State. Mr. Spaulding has all the qualifications of a great director of athletics. He is a big upstanding, broad-minded man of the highest character. Genial in disposition and fair minded in all things, he achieves his results not by bluster- ing, swaggering orlbrowbeating tactics but by virtue of the fact that he knows his work well, treats his men fairly- and is himself an inspiring leader. In the years that he has been in Kalamazoo no one has ever accused him of trying to take an unfair advantage, nor has he ever attempted an alibi for a defeat. 11S Unrullled, alike by success or failure, he ever - has his eye on the future and lets the dead past. bury its dead. In short he is a man of standing in the community and a credit to the cause of which he is such a successful pro- tagonist. Under Mr. Spaulding, affectionately known as Big Bill, the athletic teams of the Normal have achieved an enviable reputation. Under him long may they continue so to function. After eight years of service he can just 'as truthfully and as modestly, as that ancient warrior of renown, send in his report, Veni, vidi, vici. Herbert Read' During the fall of 1915, 1-lerbert Read was Coach SIJ21Lllfl1I1QfiS able assistant in drilling the gridiron warriors. To him belongs much of the credit for the success of the team which represented 1lVCSlCl'l1iS1'E11C Normal last fall. ll3ublc's knowledge of football, his faculty to recognize latent ability in new material, and his patient elliorts as a teacher of the sport all combine to make his services upon the Iield well nigh indispensable. . ' Judson A. Hyames E The 1915 football reserves had the good luck to fall under the direction of jtidson A. Hyames. lle took hold of the .squad and converted raw material into a team which dis- played a very' good brand of football. His next work was with the lfrep basketball squad. With this crew heqworked untiringly and it was not long until we knew that cle- feat 'was not a thing -to be lightly accepted by them. Finally, he has shown his worth as an able assistant to Coach Spaulding' with the baseball team. .1-Iis knowledge of the national pastime, has thus far been invalu- able in helping to develop for Xkfestern State Normal a baseball team of its usual high standard.

Anderson, Hellberg, Dad Killean, Billy Mc- Intosh, .ludcly Hyames, VVaftie Peach, and Fred McKaf- ferry were lost to Varsity. Coaches Spaulding and Read faced the hardest situation our football coaches have met for years. The material seemed promising and abundant but it lacked experience and the schedule was the heaviest ever faced by l a Normal team. Unnsually hard work by the squad failed to develop a team strong enough to compete with the heavy team at Hillsdale in our Iirst game. Hillsdale had the advantage of a two weeks' start and out- played us by a 20-I6 score. The splendid fight put up by our men, was the en- couraging feature of the game. 1 The following Saturday, Albion put in their appearance and were met on the Normal grid for a christening game. By some strange fortune, they man- aged to place 7 points in their favor on the scoreboard but this made a good contrast with our 54. . For the third game of the season, we met Alma on our own tield. Alma had trimmed Hillsdale the weelc before so the dope looked decidedly bad for us. This merely served as an incentive for our bunch and Alma went home with a 79-O defeat chalked up against them. ' The next encounter was with the Olivet crew. Sam's foot was in first class shape as shown by the first kick-off and Capt. Budge carried the ball over on a tackle back play for the first touch-down. The final score was 40-O. ' But what we considered our big game, was with Ypsilanti for the State Normal school championship. The green and white came over with big force 123 SPAULDING L YONS HER CORBAT ll YA MES XVELDEN N YLANIJ LEONARD YICAKEY THOMAS OLSEN' MITCIIILM KING NCKAY BURKE OVIAT CAMPBELL JACKS YEAST YEAKIEY POSSH DUNLAI' CROSS ALLEN ,READ but to no avail. Coach Spaulding's men under the leadership of Captain Mc- Kay, played the game to a linish and carried off the laurels for the Normal. Ineidentally this ended athletic relations between the two schools indefinitely. Ypsi's goat is now one of the school's treasured possessions. To end the season, an S5-lo beating was given Culver Military Academy. The soldier boys fought hard, but were outweighed, outplayed, and outclassed. The culmination ol' football for 'IS was the football banquet on the Wed- nesday evening following the Culver game. XVith Dr. Burnham as toastmaster, the evening was one round of joy. No man who attended that night and heard the splendid tribute paid our athletic teams by President XfValdo and the other speakers will ever consider the football season of l9l5, other than a success.

Pep sparkled in every eye, and was as inextinguishahle as a holocaust. bl. l'luvius essayed the mighty task with a Noah's arkian downpour, as the train pulled into the lake station, but the squad unloaded as blithely as the traditional robin, and hastened to the hotel and cottages for a quick change into bathing suits and a plunge into the lake, thus heaping ridicule on 19. aforesaid. Supper, served by land- lord Seneca Baker, old-time political warhorse and still puissant hoister of the stertorous bovine, cheered the inwards and rendered anemic the last threat of untoward circumstance. The eternal quartet mushroomed into existence to turn the evening into harmony, and stuck by their high purpose, despite the criticism of tin-throated 1'hilistines. Curfew was announced by that apostle of preparedness, Coach VVilliam Spaulding, the muscular fledglings hastened to bed with thoughts of the n1orrow's achieving, and slumber was wooed into the bosoms of all by the vesper song' of bellowing batrachians. At nine o'elock the next morning, a herd of sheep lled from a neighboring pasture before the eager advance of a squad of khaki and blue huskies, Sam Dunlap kicked the ball into the higher altitudes, a broad smile broke out on Coach Spaulding's face, and the season was on. The coach divided the squad into smaller groups, sending all through some rigorous paces with the aid of Doc Ransom and assistant coaches 1-Iyames and Read. This was repeated twice a day until the end of the week. After every practice, a dip into the chill water of the lake re-animated weary, bodies, even as it threatened the reputation for courage of those traditionally fearless.

One might narrate, also, how Thomas and Olson, vaunted mariners of the mighty I-luron, set out in a small sailing skilif and suffered shipwreck before the sarcastic eyes of their team matesg how a player come into his roo1n.0ne evening, and seeing the form of his bedfellow apparently wrapped in slumber, called to him several times, then whistled to him, all with no effect, and at length in disgust, went over to the bed and shook the slumberer violently, only to have his erstwhile bedfelloxv disintegrate to a head-gear and a camp trapping or two, before his startled eyes. And how mystery holds her solemn veil over the nocturnal adventures of Spaulding and Ransom in a sand-burred bed. Dis- claimer of having anatomically touched was made by the doctor, but it was thought the Aesculapian did protest too much. - Camp was broken ' L 'A' Saturday afternoon. Those in direction of the work were highly satislied w i th th a t done in the way of a much needed prelim- i,n ar y training, and the members of the squad were enthusi- astic Aover the outing enjoyed at the lake. 127 I Reserves Every night last fall just to the south of the big grid, could be seen a squad of men training for football. They may have been smaller and a tritle less snappy than the stellar crew on the Field proper, but at heart they had the same stuff that makes football what it is today. These men were under the watchful eye of juclclty l-lyames and after three weeks of untiring work on his part and after several grilling contests with the varsity, Coach lrlyames took his followers to l lainwell to meet the fast high school team of that town. The two time-worn alibis, stage fright and inexperience were unknown quan- tities. The Reserves made it a light from start to finish and had the satisfaction of bringing home a 13-O score in their favor. E Then followed three weeks of steady practice in which the team was put up time and again against Spaul's big cohorts. On every occasion of this kind, the Reserves proved themselves a good asset to the first team and feel that they have had a definite part in making the big' crew what they were. The second meeting of the season was with Dowagiac on Normal held. ln this game. the Reserves again conducted themselves with credit and out-played Dowagiac 19 to 13. Next years prospects are bright, Coach I-lyames will return and a fine schedule is in view. NVhile this year was not one of many games, we feel that the Reserves have faithfully fulfilled their mission and stood true to every test. Team Jonson l-lxwxmi-:s . D. Soov . . C. KEKM . . W.

Notwithstanding -the difficulties attendant upon developing a high calibre team The basketball season of 1915-1916 has been one of the ii in a two-year school, Mr. Spaulding set to work latc in the fall term to gather to his standard all available material which would go into the making of an aggregation of basket- shooters worthy to represent the school upon the basketball floor. Three men were left from the 1915-16 team, and with these men as a nucleus,-the coaches proceeded to select a winning team from an abundance of new material. Several candidates of more than usual ability presented them- selves, making the elimination process a hard one. The team as selected had a good season. winning nine out of the sixteen games played. The boys put up a fast article of real basketball, and under the snappy leadership of Capt. Chuck Wfelden, proved themselves well out of the HlJU.Sl1E1'.i class. Ptospects for next year are bright. Although Capt. lYelden, Thomas. llek and .lacks are lost this spring, there are left Olsen, Noble. llippes, Leonard, Flannery and Campbell. lVith this sextette and any additional material which may appear, we predict a most successful season for the XVestern State basket- tossers during 1916-17. 134 TRACK 135 41 -1- 'i 1- 411931 -19 1 Xi: lf! lag X -- .

' 137 Track Season Track up to the present time has been a more or less negligible quantity at the Normal for two reasons: first, lack of track men, and second, lack of an outside track. But now the fact that we have one of the best tracks in the country, has brightened the prospects, and our track men are rapidly coming to the front. Battle Creek School of Physical Education was the only school with whom the Normal held meets in former years. But this year brought forth a regular schedule, and a first class track team. Notre Dame, Grand Rapids HY , N. S. P. E. and the triangular meet between Albion College, Grand Rapids and the Normal were on schedule as well as the inter-collegiate meet at N. A. C., in which Normal took third place. Burke, to whom a great deal of credit is to be given, won the quarter mile dash in record time. He is considered one of the best quarter milers in the country, and the race itself as considered by the spectators, was the most sen- sational and spectacular in many seasons. Yeakey was elected track captain at the beginning of the season and has filled his position with all due honor and praise-as he has been a point winner, leader and general encourager among the squad. .His work in the 100-yard dash and relay have been very consistent. There are other men who rank high among the squad. ,l reddie lacks picked up the javelin at M. A. C. and hurled it for second place, and took third in the low hurdles. Charlie VVelden we need not introduce, as he has distinguished himself in athletics for two years. and has done excellent work in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. I-larley l-lolmes deserves honor for his consistent broad jumping, never having failed to place in a meet, and for taking a bronze at M. A. C. The relay team has been very successful, never having lost a race. The greatest relay was the race at M. A. C. The team is composed of the following men: Yeakey, Burke, Wfelden, lllob Smith, Spade and Lackey. lilrown and lleani in the mile and two mile are considered excellent and have been two of the best point winners. fllob Smith showed excellent form at the beginning of the season, but was injured in the meet at Notre Dame, and has not been able to be out since, but some great work will be expected from him next year. 138 i i P I 1 1 'A V 139 U ,, , .

The prospects at the close of last season were not particularly bright, for with the graduation of several veterans noticeable gaps were made in the line-up. But with the openingiof early spring practice, gloom was not so evident concerning our baseball team as it had been in the winter, for an exceptional squad answered Coach Spaulding's first call for candidates. As the season has progressed, there has evolved a team, built around Captain Corbat, which bids fair to ontshine any of its predecessors. The season opened early, with Hope College here. The game was a tight one for so early a date, but Normal was returned the victor, 5-4. As a pre- diction to the interest which was to follow the team this season, a large crowd occupied the bleachers in spite of the chilling wind which swept the field. After the Hope game nothing happened until the contest at Hillsdale, which took place on April 21. Any kind of contest with Hillsdale always arouses a keen interest, and it was with a pleasurable smile that the fans read the re- turns of the game, which credited us with a 6-l victory. Next our initial vic- tory over M. A. C. caused no little rejoicing in the Normal camp. Defiance College caused little trouble, but Notre Dame put one over on us to the time of 6-0. Following the defeat by Notre Dame, team and student body alike were determined to hang a defeat on Michigan. The University nine were fairly confident of victory, as was indicated by advance press notices, but their con- fidence was ill-founded. After staging a 14-inning thriller in which Cooking- ham played the lead for Normal, the game was called on account of darkness, the score reading one to one. There followed in quick succession victories over Albion, Olivet, Defiance, and Hillsdale. Vlfabash scored the second defeat over Xlfestern State, register- ing ten runs to our eight, but this defeat and the one sustained at the hands of Notre Dame were the only ones scored against us during the entire season. To pick any one star is a difficult task, but honorable mention must be ac- corded the whole team for being in the game every minute, and for fighting every game until the bats were in the bag. 144 5l1lIll'll'llhlE Tam Team l-I. l3i.All4, Mgr.

Previous to the fall term of this school year the Normal had been represented in aquatics and an exhibition had been helclg but not until the opening of this school year was anything in the line of team organization attempted. Then candidates were called out and the team placed on precisely the same basis as our other teamsg that is to say. it was a school team, open to men of the Normal proper and to Preps. The original personnel consisted of three Normal men and nine l-'repsf' Sidney lfisher was chosen captain, and subsequent events have proved that a good choice was made. The team was coached by Edwin H. Xvood, formerly of the Navy Y. M.. C. A. and Bedford Y. M. C. A. swimming teams, Brooklyn, N. Y. A great deal of the team's success may be traced to the eliiorts of Mr. Blair. He has not only endorsed competitive swimming but has taken an active part in all details connected with the game. And what may be said of swimming, in this connection, may be said of all our activities-atlr letic cr otherwise.

Lotte of the Y swam Coach Wood a quarter-mile handicap, Wood starting sixty seconds after the gun and losing by about a yard. On the evening of April 13th the team from the Grand Rapids Central H. S. invaded our precincts. They were captained by the State 200-yard champion, Stuart 3 and with them also were Dollavo, runner-up to the State 400-yard champion, Vlfoocl and W. Gilbert, who swam third to Stuart and Wood in the 200-yard titular event. Against such a formidable aggregation we scored 21 points to their 40-a performance of which we felt justly proud. Mr. Norman Buck, formerly of the Chicago A. A., in exhibition, swam 208 yards against time in 2 min. 332 sec. The swimming team is a permanent school organization and next year we hope to increase our activities, and to have more Normal men outfor the team. 5' Deceased. 146 Prep. Basketball The high school basketball team has made an enviable record the past season, losing hut one game out of the eight played. The team to which it lost by a score of 23 to ll, held the State championship among high schools. Captain 'Ildgar Smith deserves much credit for his fine defensive work. He could he depended upon to get his share of baskets. At forward, Sooy, Mulder, and Shepherd were always on the job. Bruce Shepherd, taken from the second team. proved to be the sensation of the season. At guard, the school was fortunate in having' three such fellows as VV'ells, Naylor, and Jllrownell. Wells at running guard played an exceptionally fine game. Naylor, stationary guard, proved himself an exceedingly hard man to get hy, while lirownell in the game in which he participated, showed the material of which basketball players are made. This year's team has been a credit to the Normal high school, since through- out the season they have played a good game of basketball and have displayed a manly type of sportsmanship. .Prospects for the next year are very bright. Four veterans are clue to re- turn and with this nucleus we look forward to another winning season. Team Jonson' llvixmlzs . . DoNA1.n Som' . . .

Athletic activities are open not only to the students of the Physical Education department, but to all young women of the school who care to participate. Added interest is being shown in basketball, and during the winter season, many interesting games occurred between the Senior and Junior teams. The new athletic Held affords excellent opportunity for outdoor sports in which a lively interest is being evidenced, a girls, track meet held in the spring proving very much of a success. Field hockey also comes in for its share of popularity, teams being organized early in the fall in connection with physical education work. While no regular teams have been organized in tennis, the courts are very well patronized by the young women of the school, tennis and swimming affording the favorite summer sports. Increased atten- tion is being given to athletic facilities for young women, and it is safefto assert that a comparatively short time will lind this feature developed to a position of popularity and importance. 150 X PHYS Q QM l IDILHC 6 N Y oo 0 6 E? oo . . og NF Q WX NK iii 4 O A 4 ' 'u 1 1 151 ' Physical Education Perhaps the other departments are not as proud of us as we are of ourselves, but we believe we have made great progress during the past year. Last year, there were only tive Seniors, this year there are eight, and next year we hope for at least Hfteen. We are fast outgrowing our gymnasium and our growth in numbers and energy has caused us to overflow into the assembly room for some of our classes. VVe hope to show great results a year from now from our eight budding teachers, if only the various superintendents will appreciate the great opportu- nities they oier and give them the best available positions. As for the present Juniors-! Wie hardly know how their fifteen prospective schools will exist without them during the coming year. However, we are able to dwell with more certainty on the past than on the future. Our last gym party was a great success both nnancially and socially, but let us add the sad afterword that we are still thirsting for the drinking foun- tain which we hoped to get with the proceeds. This winter we played the usual three out of Five junior-Senior basketball games, and though the juniors pulled out ahead in the first two, the Seniors managed to prove themselves truly Seniors in the last three games, and took the laurels. A large number in both classes of the department proved their interest in the work by taking advantage of the unusual opportunity of securing instruction in dancing under Mr. Cecil Sharp, who spent a week at the Normal, during which many students received valuable and in many cases newer conceptions of folk-dancing. At present, preparations are being made for junior-Senior track and swim- ming meets. The Seniors came out ahead in the gym meet, but time will have to give the results of the other two. Last but not least, let us tell of the gymnasium exhibition. Of course we dislike patting ourselves on the back, but it was surely a great success. Floor work, folk dances. games and :esthetic dances were given, and the fifth and sixth grade boys of the training school added an excellent number. VVe'll give nine rahs for the teachers four XVho have led us on our way- Nliss Frost, Miss Haskell, Miss Guiot, Miss Reed. W'ho have taught us to work and to play. XVe'll give nine rahs for the Physical Eels. - They always obey each rule, And we'll linish with nine lusty shouts and cheers For the lrVestern State Normal school. 152 C11z1e:11.Ax1N1c l,111111'1 M' A ll 1' l-I 1 N'ruN . .

W. C. A. At the beginning of the fall term of 1915, the Senior girls of the Young XYomens' Christian Association, returned a few days early for the purpose of meeting the new girls at the incoming trains, and helping them feel more at home. Later on in the term, each Senior girl was given a list of junior girls to call on, thus carrying out the idea of helping the new students to adjust themselves to their new surroundings. Meetings are held every Monday afternoon in charge of one of the student members, who frequently gives the program herself. Outsiders often favor us however. This year we have been specially fortunate in securing a missionary from India and one from japan to talk to us and many members of the faculty have also given interesting talks. The aims of .the organization beyond that of its own existence, meetings and members. are many and varied. Quality rather than quantity as far as both work and membership are concerned is aimed at. Flowers are sent to girls who are illg tea is served one afternoon a week in the student club room, and candy is sold two afternoons a week in the club room. One of the biggest aims how- ever is to send members to the Geneva conference. ln order to be able to finan- cially support this project, the Association united with the VVomen's League and gave a Tea of the Nations. ' The girls have been fortunate in securing a new and larger room which is slowly but surely being furnished, both the Y. W. C. A. and Womens League having added many new things this year. Next year's officers are all efficient and capable members and there is no chance for doubt. when we say that the Young W omen's Christian Association has a solid rock foundation on which to build its future for next year.

At the beginning of the fall term, a get acquainted tea was also given, when every Senior girl in the school chaperoned one or more junior girls and made them acquainted with the girls and the faculty members. The aim of the VVomen's League is to socialize the girls. The roasts with their camp-tire stunts, eats, and fun, the teas in the Students' Club room, the Christmas tree with its Santa Claus and gift for each one, the room recently provided for the ill, the eating house, financial campaign frolic in the gym- nasium-each of these has served to bring the League one step nearer the real- ization of its purpose. . The League is divided into groups with a leader at the head of each. At the regular meetings held once a month, one leader and her group are hostesses, and at these gatherings there is some sort of entertainment, work, and refresh- ments. The frequent teas have become a great socializing force among the girls, serving not only to give them a new and growing interest in the Work of the League but to stimulate and spread the friendly spirit and bring the girls of tlie Y. NV. C. A. and XVomen's League cabinets together. This year, the X'Vom- en's League and the Y. VV. C. A. have co-operated more than ever heforeg many joint meetings have been held and the Y. W. C. A. assisted materially in the big event, the Tea of the Nations which replaced the Trip Around the World of last year. The new plans have' been carried out this year-the room for the ill which the League supports for the use of any girl who is unable to secure proper care when ill, and the eating house which is just for girls. This serves to show a few of the things for which the League stands and as the school grows, so shall it continue to grow, working always for the welfare and best interests of the women students. M.

DAVIS 'SVP M fberem :Dan am , Q55 ' y Deutsche Verein The primary purpose of Der Deutsche Yerein is to facilitate a live acquaint- ance with conversational German and to give to the members a sprachgefuhl. The club seeks to bridge the gap between the essential limitations of the class- room and the demands of actual practice, and has developed greatly during the past year toward the ideal furtherance of such an aim, . The society meets every two weeks and members of the second. third and fourth year classes are eligible for membership. XN e have enjoyed stereopticon lectures given by Miss Zimmerman, head of the German department on the customs and life of the German people, given in clear, idiomatic German. The members have learned Cierman songs and stories and the aim has been to speak the language of the Yaterland exclusively while at the meetings. All of the meetings have been very worth while, the members being' divided into conversational groups, German games being' played as the Germans them- selves play them. The largest meeting of the year was held at Christmas time when the students of all classes were invited to celebrate a tierman Christmas. .-Xt the end of the winter term, a banquet was given by the club in honor of Miss Zimmerman who left at that time to complete her work at the Lfniversity of Vviscoiisin. ll.

The object of the lirst meeting, when the Seniors and juniors met with Miss Gage and Miss Kern in the rotunda of the Training School, was primarily to get acquainted. At this time, it was decided, that at each following meeting, a supper would be prepared and served by a diierent group of girls chosen for each time. These events proved most successful, and provided an excellent means for sociability and enjoyment. Another pleasure of the year was the teas given at the home of Miss Gage. Different groups were entertained, giving an opportunity for instructors and students to meet in an atmosphere apart from that of the school. VVhat was perhaps the most important event socially for the Kinclergartners, came the evening of March 18, when a school party in charge of the Klub took place in the gymnasium. . However, social pleasure has bleen only secondary, as Christmas work oc- cupied the greater portion of the time at the Klub meetings. Many Shoenhutt dolls were dressed for some of the city Kindergartens, and it is needless to say that these dolls brought joy to many little people. The Kindergarten Klub has had definite purposes in view in planning their meetings, namely: to further and encourage a true Kindergarten spirit, and to create a social feeling among its membe1's. Through the first aim, it has tried to gain a better understanding of the life of the child, and thereby be better fitted to work with him. Through the social evenings, a democratic al- mosphere has been created and a closer relationship established among members.

N. XV. CAMERON The Superintendent's Seminar The present status of the superintendent of a school system is to act for a board of education in the capacity of an expert in education. This expertness comes from a knowledge of the theories and standards of the educational field combined with practical experience in administration. Many valuable courses are offered by The lfVestern State Normal School which deal with the general aspects of educational theory, but in addition to these courses, a need was found for a course which would deal with education from the viewpoint of the administrator. To satisfy this need, the Superintendents' Seminar was organized during the fall term. This Seminar is informal in character: the more important problems of administration are discussed: standards, scales, record systems, text-books, etc. are examined and their relative values determined: the promo- tion and selection of teachers is given considerable attention. The Seminar is led by Dr. N. XY. Cameron, who has had a large experience in administration in many parts of the United States. XVe are very sure that a large number of the men who are fortunate enough to have been members of this Seminar will be holding responsible administrative positions in the public schools of Mich- igan assoon as they have gained the necessary experience.-li. lil. l..x C.

The society. like all progressive institutions, has undergone several changes. Organized at first as a sorority in 190-l by Miss Mary Lowell. then instructor in English, it was later changed into a literary society, admitting' both young men and women students of the life certificate courses. The membership has in- creased until the society is now one of .the largest in the institution. lflowever the aim is excellency of work rather than numbers, and on account of the large increase, steps have b:en taken to restrict the membership. .-X plan has also been formulated whereby appearance on the meeting programs is compulsory. Meetings are now held every two weeks when topics of current and literary interest are discussed, stimulating' papers and talks are given and excellent musical numbers enjoyefl. Since the society does not believe in all work and no play, there are social activities in accordance with the spirit of the school. .'Xmong' the ,most success- ful social evenings have been the joint meeting' with the Normal Literary Society and the Halloxveen, Yalentine, and St. Patrick evenings. Much credit is due the capahle officers and Dr. Norman XY. Cameron, faculty advisor, for the success of the society this year. The ellort put forth and the interest aroused as a result of the activities has done much toward promoting a school spirit, and the future progress of the .-Xmphictyon society is looked for- ward to xx ith creat confidence and anticipation. .X.

A membership contest which was instituted in September, greatly increased the enrollment. The meetings have been marked by their democratic spirit much to the benc- at of the members. Creditable activity on the part of the program committee, has resulted in programs of splendid literary value. They have consisted of an interesting variety of formal and informal speaking and debating, declamations, readings, original stories and poems and lectures interspersed with musical pro- grams and social activities. The interest in oratory has been especially marked, and the work of the ora- torical committee combined with the generous co-operation of the members of the society, was responsible in no small degree for the success of the annual oratorical contest. It has been this same spirit of co-operation and the faithful work of the officers that has enabled the society to realize the aim stated in its constitution- To attain through practice, a higher degree of excellence in the art of public speaking and to enrich the lives of its members by the culture that comes from mental contact and social fellowship. l-I. l-l. 5. ll6. 174 E r Cx .

The active membership now numbers forty. The formal debates have covered a wide variety of topics. Ainong' the ques- tions being used for debate have been: free textbooksg W'ilson's foreign policyg prison reformg democracy in England compared with democracy in Americag Mexican affairsg intercollegiate footballg compulsory military training in public schoolsg Philippine independenceg preparedness. The last debate of the year will be a discussion of the question, 'Society is to blame for its poor, by mem- bers of the sociology classes. .Professor I-lickey has not neglected the club at any time during the year and has not only been ready to assist and counsel the club in its proceedings and debates, but has been a personal friend to each member. The interest of the club has not only included debating, but has extended to oratoricals, the winners of lirst place in the annual Oratorical Contests for four straight years having been members of the societyg this year lirnest La Chappelle, in 1914 Henry Fuller, in 1915 Neal Nyland. The work of the club will close May 7 with its second annual banquet which promises to be one of the big occasions of the year. ll. LAC. OFFICERS Fall Term Houma S'r1ix'KicR . . .

Chairman Program Committee 176 r-n Nl Nl Oratoricals The evening of April 20, 1916, the third annual oratorical contest of the Wfestern State Normal School was held in the auditorium. This function, since its inauguration has aroused the interest of the student body which has turned out in large numbers upon the occasions when the oratoricals have been pre- sented. Since the contest takes the form of a competitive one between the two literary societies, a double interest is attached. The first two contests were won by the representatives of the Amphictyon society, H. H. Fuller taking lirst place in 1914 and Neal Nyland in 1915. This year, however, Ernest La Chapelle brought the honors to the Normal Literary society. His masterly oration, The Destiny of Belgium, was delivered in finished style and easily deserved lirst place. The contest was an exciting one from start to finish. The six contestants were all in the rnmiing, and to most of the spectators, the result was in doubt until the judges' decision was announced. The partisan rooting and singing added to the zest of the evenings events. At convenient places between orations, music was interspersed to relieve the monotony of speech which would be inevitable during so long a contest. This contest marked a step toward the furtherance of work in oratory in XVestern Normal. To Professor B. L. jones of the Department of English must go the greatest credit for the position the work has already attained, and under his guidance we look to see this branch of activity continue in greater growth and scope.

This committee enumerated the following specific needs for such a journal in the school: The formulation of ideals and practices within the schoolg incidental and conscious aclvertisingg the development of executive abil- ity in faculty and studentsg the photographing of the current status of the in- stitutiong a medium of communication both within the local establislnnent and that enlarging sphere of influence in alumni and contributed educational ideals outside the schoolg and a constant monitor necessitating growth in practice in keeping with ambitiously expressed ideasf, The Record is now at the conclusion of its sixth volume, and the BRONVN Axo Gow scribe, in glancing through the bound volumes, finds ample evidence that the ambitions of the originators of the journal have been in large part accomplished in the month by month issues. On the business side the Record has been well sustained by our advertisers, both local and general, and by sub- scribers. On the editing side there has been appreciation of the typographical possibilities, a sense of sources of desirable matter, good judgment as to the relative value of materials, and commendable care in proofreading. The Record has effectively satisfied the growth necessities of the school. The best current educational thought has been reflected. Literary talent has been afforded opportunity for expression. The spirit of the institution has been given interpretation through the various departments of the journal, and especially through the editorials. News items of the actual and related lite of the school have been given permanent record. Brief reviews of valuable new hooks and especially interesting current periodical articles have been presented, and the Record has become a most valuable denioratizing and memory agency for faculty, students, and alumni.

Much has been accomplished during the year 1915-16, not only from the standpoint of the quantity of work done but also as regards the quality. Several designs of this volume of the BROWN AND GOLD are the work of the Art department, and these students have contributed much to the activities of the school through their poster work, cartooning and decoration. Although there are no clubs or societies among the Art students, there are several thriving organizations in the Music department. There are the chorus and the orchestra which are open to all studentsg the Men's Glee Club, an or- ganization of twenty men, the Senior Girls' Glee Club and the Junior Girls' Glee Club composed chiefly of girls specializing in Music and Art. The Music Study Club is made up of members of the three Glee Clubs, and the orchestra. :X school band has recently been added to the list and the new organization under the direction of Mr. Manley, gave an interesting program in assembly April 10. The most interesting concerts, which are fast becoming one of the impor- tant and far-reaching features of the school, have been given under the direc- tion of the music department. Among these musical events, were the rendition of Handel's Messiah at Christmas time, the chorus under the direction of Harper C. Maybee being assisted by the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra and several local soloistsg the New York Symphony orchestra concert with XfValter Damrosch conductor and Josef Hoffman the celebrated pianist as soloist. The latter concert was given under the direction of the Kalamazoo Musical Society and the Normal. As a fitting ending to these activities, the second annual Music Festival took place May 20-Z2 in the Armory bringing to Kalamazoo a group of well-known and celebrated artists, and the success of the event has gone far toward establishing the place of the Normal as a promoter of the best and most worth while in music. D. M. T. 'l6. 184 The Orchestra and Band :Xt the beginning of the fall term, the orchestra began its rehearsals with over thirty members. Since then the number has gradually decreased until now we have about Fifteen, but the standard of the players' ability and the difficulty of the music used has steadily increased. . During the early part of the year the orchestra was directed by Mr. Maybee. Later it was taken by Mir. .-Xrthur li. llryce of llattle Creek, who makes a pil- grimage to Kalamazoo every Monday to teach his class of aspiring Elmans and Powells, and to conduct the orchestra's regular weekly rehearsals. Mr. Bryce is a thoroughly trained musician and a most artistic violinist. NVe all felt duly proud of this organization when they did such creditable work in accompanying the chorus in the performance of The Messiah. Every member deserves credit for the splendid work done at that time. Since then the orchestra has given two assembly programs, and played for the presentation of the Frogs and Ox, which was sung by the Childrens Chorus in the May Festival. During the cold winter months, there budded and grew within. Normal walls a struggling organization-at lirst more struggling than organization-which for a while we were unable to identify. Mr. Manley, a man of Majestic musical ability, wrestled with this creature until he taught it to make such noises that it won for itself the title of band. One of our local papers published the fol- lowing announcement: The Normal Band will appear in their new uniforms, consisting of caps and coatsg trousers will be added later. The band is really doing excellent work, as is shown by the fine assembly program they gave. The music has added to every basket and baseball game, and we feel sure it will become a permanent and important school organization. 185 ,.- W UD 0 BOWEN IIURBANK DODGE BARRETT 'KELLER RISING SLITIER PHCRSON TUBIXS SMITH BEARD VEEDER VAN BROOK UHL TEDROW 0 BRIEN BECK Senior Girls' Glee Club I The Senior Girls' tilee Cluli of 1915-16, has been a great factor in school life during the year. Systematic rehearsals were commenced the second week under the direction of l'rofessor Harper C. Maybee, and have continued reg- ularly ll1I'0'LlQ'l101ll.' the year. The lirst few weeks in the fall, the membership consisted only of the Senior music girls, but soon several new voices were added from other departments and the club numbered 17. The aim has been to assist in a musical way all school alliairs, and to further the interest in music in the school. ' The cluh has responded, to invitations from outside sources as well as singing many times at the Normal. lt was at the faculty reception to the students that the club made its first ap- pearance. In November at the Armory, the girls did their best to entertain the hundreds of delegates attending the State Y, M. C. A. boys' conference being held at that time in Kalamazoo. They also gave at this time, several interest- ing numbers jointly with the 'Boys' Glee Cluh. Besides numerous appearances in assembly, the club has rendered selections at the Senior-Junior party, the Senior Special and the practice teachers' at home. An invitation to sing at the Kalamazoo Musical Society was also accepted and the club has enjoyed ren- dering its services. A Several motor trips made to near-hy towns where concerts will be given, will mark the end of the season. L. M. T. '16, I-I.x1u-im L XiXYlll'ili . l71'rvrt0r S0 fr nmox tilali'l'iunna l.

This year, the club numbers twenty- four girls. Rehearsals are held every Xlfednesday in the music room, where besides an hour's work, the girls enjoy an occasional social hour. Under the direction of Mrs. Davis, the club has done some creditable work, its aim being to sing a few songs artistically rather than to have an extensive repertoire sung indifferently well. The club has sung at various school fune- tionsg the lirst public appearance being made at a musical program held in Assembly in the fall term, a number being also rendered at Christmas Assembly. The club appeared at the meeting of the Kalamazoo County Teachers' Insti- tute held in the city in january, also at the Rural Progress Day program held at the Normal, Friday, March l0. At the Shakespeare festival held in May under the direction of Miss Forn- crook, the club sang, Blow XVind, Blow, and It XVas a Lover and His Lass from As You Like It. - The prospects for the growth of the club are most encouraging and it is expected that next year will find it at its best.

The club has al- ways cheerfully responded to all its numerous requests for music, and their efforts have not gone unappreciated. At the opening of the fall term Mr. Maybee started work with a very small nucleus left from the 1914-15 season. A good list of candidates turned out for the opening rehearsals, however, and prospects were bright for a successful season. After trying out once or twice on the Normal students, the season of joy and music was officially opened at Comstock, liollowing an ancient custom. No regular itinerary is planned for Normal Cilee Clubs. but when possible. trips of two or three days' duration are taken, Among those upon which the club traveled this year were jaunts to Niles, Buchanan, Dowagiac, Hastings. Vicksburg, Richland, and Battle Creek. The audiences which greeted the club at their various appearances were always very enthusiastic about the programs rendered, and in most instances hearty invitations to return were extended. A Glee Club of men is one of the best possible advertisements which a school may have. The Men's Glee Club this year has brought attention to the XfVestern State Normal School in a very effective and desirable way. Since the club travels only for expenses, the smaller towns of Michigan are enabled to en- tertain and bear them as well as are the larger cities. The credit for thessplendid success of the glee club this year must go to Mr. Maybee, without whose directing the season could have been little better than failure, and to Nr. Henderson, whose splendid work as accompanist has bolstered up many uncertain passages. XX. L.. lb. 192. l l Normal Music Study Club Soon after the beginning of the fall term, l9l-L, the students of the music, and music and art departments were invited to spend an evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maybee. The faculty presented a splendid program, at the close of which Mr. Maybee outlined a plan for organizing the music students into zi music study club, to promote interest and appreciation of the best things in music, and to strengthen a spirit of good corhradeship among the members of the department. The plan was received enthusiastically, and an organization effected, which was to be called the Normal Music Study Club. A meeting was to be held once each month at the home of some member, and a program committee was appointed to arrztnge El series of programs for the year. Lives of famous mu- sicians have been studied, and selections from their works played and sung by the faculty and student members. .-Xt the second meeting our numbers were augmented by the addition of the lXlen's Glee Club, who have proven themselves loyal and enthusiastic mem- bers. For two years the club has met every month in the school year, and some truly delightful and worth while programs have been presented. t t 193 I -- W , 1 w - 1 194 F-:Q . ',.,' -A g -f.

It was organized at the close of the school year of 1915, and repre- sents a union of all the smaller dramatic clubs of the school. All students possessing dramatic ability and interested in dramatic alfairs, are eligible to membership. Throughout the year, programs have been offered on subjects concerning the drama. The Association has had general supervision of the several dramatic pro- ductions of the institution, and under its auspices a number of one-act plays have been presented, among them, Phoca,,' Columbine, The Constant Lover, and Her Tongue. - The largest and most important dramatic event of the year was the staging of l5arrie's four-act play, The Admirahle Crichton. This was' presented at the Academy of Music before a large and enthusiastic audience the evening of March 16. The cast was selected from the school as a whole, and as was to be expected from so representative a group, the acting was of high order and the result was a most pleasing performance. lnterest in the drama has been steadily increasing during the past year at the Normal, and the annual plays have bsen gradually reaching a higher degree of perfection and attainment. The .admirable Crichton was no exception and in inaugurating dramatic tra- ditions all future productions should strive to uphold and raise the level of plays produced by the Association.

The recognition by teachers of the present day youth, of the value of the ideals and aims for which the occa- sion is coming' more and more to stand. is such as to set aside practically the entire day for its observance. This year was no exception. I:'rograms given at 10 o'clock in the morning and at 2 o'cloclc in the afternoon were followed by a processioual from the administration building to the scene of the dedication of the bird bath. In this, both students and faculty members participated. The presentation of the handsome bird hath was perhaps the most interesting feature of the day, the dedication of a suitable memorial having become a part of the Arbor and Bird Day custom at Wfestern Normal, establishing a precedent which the future school should not ohliviate. The supervision of arrangements for the day was in charge of Dr. L. H. .I larvev. The following program was carried out.

Railways on a trail of land three miles above sea level. 'lille school is reached at all times by land and at school time by Al's Lunge, lilove slowly and Sltockingwroeker Electric line. lauufosic The purpose of the school: To promote the athletic standing of the school to snch an ex- tent that we will not be bothered hy any liter- ary enterprises as in the past. , .fX1n'.yN'mc:ias As will be seen by consulting the names of the faculty and the departments in which they ofTer instruction, the school is prepared to provide any course that two or more students care to elect, the teachers being chosen by the students, subject to dismissal at any time for interference with social duties. ln this re- spect we stand as the pioneer of Michigan. This system has resulted eliiciently in rcducs ing the amount of work done to a minimum. Other advantages worthy oi mention are the Majestic Supreme Vaudeville House which is opened to all students on Sunday evenings: Wattles Glen which is accessible by the Indian Trail. The Normal also owns and operates the Asia lnn with its magnilicent grill room and cozy, private dining rooms where the service is superb. Since the village is sup- ported entirely hy the Normal there has de- veloped a special atmosphere of culture and luxury which enables the students to absorb the true social graces of their equals without interfering with their conscious superiority to the common herd. I-It Povotouiixi :X chapter of Ili Popolorum. the national Society whose aim is to protect Iiunkers and athletes, was established here in 1915, the tirst time the necessity for it was noticeable. This year nearly all of our athletes have qualihed for membership in the local chapter, known as the l7Iunkit Chapter of Michigan. Ow- ing to its youth it is still small in number but great hopes are given by the faculty for a great increase in June. NVI-lO'S VVaddy. Clarahell. Doc Yak. Curly Billy. Jack. Roy. Andy.

There Are Times When It Pays to Get Out of the Old Rut It pays sometimes to see things from a differ- ent angle from what we have in times gone by. There are improvements in the way ot' doing things. It took me 20 years to learn the right way of merchandise, and before I could make up my mind to change I lost many dollars. Pos- sibly you are doing the same thing. It is just as mmortant for your Mr. Consumer, to get ou the cash basis as it is for the merchant. Have you thought what it costs to give or receive credit. The loss is not only in the loss of the credit or monef, but it is in the interest paid, also the extra hen it takes to make collections or in other words earning your money four times.
