WALDO, A.. M., LL. D 10 RETROSPECT With the publication of the present volume, the Brown and Gold launches into the second decade of its existence. Let us reflect for a moment, as we turn these pages, over the debt that we of the present owe to the pioneers who were responsible for the first annual published in this school, and to those who in succeeding years have contributed to its growth and betterment. We light our candles by their torches. It was their effort and their sacrifice that made this book possible: it is to their spirit as incorporated in the pro- gress for which they were responsible that we owe what we today enjoy. The same spirit that has been manifested in the development of the Brown and Gold has shown itself in the life of the school as a whole. It has been scarcely seventeen years since Western State Normal was founded, yet in that short space of time it has grown in numbers and developed in influence until today it is universally recognized as one of the greatest Normal schools of the nation. its life has been brief indeed when compared with the lives of other institutions, and when considered in the light of the years of struggle which have been necessary to bring Education to the fore. This school has no time-worn traditions to hold it to the pathsgand customs of former days, nor does it depend upon the deeds and accomplishments of bygone genera- tions for its standing in the present. It is what it is, not what it was, that makes Western Normal great. Democracy and progress are' its traditions. and the determination to make advancement, to utilize the past only as a means of making better the future, is responsible for its rapid development. The past year has been one of exceptional importance for Western State Normal. Never has the spirit of progress and democracy been more domin- ant, nor has there been a year in the school's history more productive of val- uable results. A record breaking enrollment-completion of the new Man- ual Arts building-these are representative of the material advances that have been made. Equally significant has been the spirit, the initiative, and the loyalty shown by the student body. It has assumed definite responsibilities, and with genuine enthusiasm and co-operation has supported every activity and movement which has been for the best interests of the school. Thus the record of the past and present augurs well for the future. The field of possibilities is broad and worth-while. Education must keep pace with world development, and it is the privilege of Western State Normal to be identified with the struggle to gain equal educational opportunities for all. May the spirit that has in the past bound teachers and students together in zealous striving for the best things ever continue to function: may the spirit of progress-dominant on the part of our school-abide with it through all the coming years. 11 'A FAIR EXTERIOR IS A SILENT RECOMMENDATION REFLECTIONS 5?

Their failure is the failure of their Alma Materg their success is its success. They determine its reputation to a far greater degree than does the size of its student body, the strength of its faculty or the magnificence of its buildings. The finished product is the true test of any piece of work, and the chief standard by which any educational institution is judged is the record of its Alumni. judged by this standard, Western State Normal ranks high. Its graduates have gone forth in every direction, carrying with them the spirit school stands. Commencing with only sixteen graduates in l905, the Alumni has grown in the past sixteen years to a membership of approximately three thousand. Graduates have gone to other states until now Western Normal is repre- sented in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,'Washington, West Vir- ginia, and Wisconsin. These graduates are holding positions as critic teach- ers, heads of History and Rural Departments, superintendents of Training Schools, State club leaders, Elementary and Grammar Grade supervisors- in fact, nearly every position from a teacher in a one-room country school to the Head of a Department in a University. A large percentage of Michigan's teachers are graduates of Western Nor- mal. One hundred and twenty-four graduates are in work of an executive nature, such as superintendents, ward and high school principals, county com- missioners. critics, and supervisors, while twenty-nine graduates teach in col- leges and other state schools. An Alumni of this character is worthy of any institution and the class of l92I is proud that it is to join the ranks of this great body. The future will find it loyal to its Alma Mater, striving to uphold the record made by the graduates of other years. 52 b 9519- -vaecfj I f Illlllll at 9 ll -QQ. ling- Illllulnllllll Millmga - I I , .

Delton Osborn was elected presidentg Myrtle Simmons, vice-pres- ident and Donald Boardman, secretary-treasurer. Several times during the year the Juniors and Seniors met .socially for the purpose of fostering closer acquaintance, thereby promoting class friend- ship. Aside from its purely social activities the Senior class has participated in all other functions of the school and has co-operated in every way to in- crease the spirit of enthusiasm manifested in all school endeavors. The establishment of traditions is an important result of the work of every class of a new and growing school. This year's class has not been lax in the promotion of some of the more permanent things that will help to up- hold this institution in the minds of its alumni and to invite the interest and efforts of the new comers. 54 D.

JUNIOR COLLEGIATE - Evidence of the growth of Western State Normal as a four-year school is shown by the increasing number of students who return each year to take up a third year's work. The Junior Collegiate Class of I92 l organized early in the fall with the following officers: President, John Thompson: Vice-Pres- ident, 'Ruth Van Horn: Secretary-Treasurer, Paul Bowersox. The members of the class have shown an active interest in all school undertakings, and have displayed a certain amount of class spirit. They have held social functions in conjunction with the fourth year students. During the fall term the two classes met to pass an informal evening in the Rotunda of the Training School. Later the Seniors entertained the Juniors at a Wash- ington's birthday party, and in the spring the Juniors returned the compliment with a picnic in honor of the Seniors. Professor and Mrs. George Sprau were the patrons at each occasion. 56 LOUISE ANDREWS Grand Haven Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit.

The first day was one of great ex- citement. When it came to an end our minds were in a strange whirl, as long yellow enrollment cards, endless lines of teachers-to-be, numberless professors, and a maze of class-rooms floated before our vision. But as the days passed, we found ourselves making friends with our class-mates. Then came that first football game. Everyone was there! How we cheered and what a thrill went through us as we thought that those were our men battling upon the gridiron and that each one of us was really a part of this great institution. We organized with the following officers: president, Daryl Hoetzelg vice-president, Harry Hullerg secretary, Lelah Smithg treasurer, Keith Johnson. The various student parties brought us into closer contact with our pro- fessors and fellow-students in a social way. We were also privileged to hear many people of nation-wide fame, among whom were jane Addams, Maud Ballington Booth, and General Leonard Wood. The Importance of Being Earnest, the annual midwinter presentation, played its part in maintainng our enthusiasm. Sherwood, the commencement play, was a fitting climax to our first year at Western. In the fall there was a great reunion. Again we took our places in the various organizations. Class oflicers were elected as follows: president, John Clementzg vice-president, Gertrude Nehmerg secretary, Burton Sibley, treas- urer, Mary Bottje. This year we have also had many privileges by way of noted entertainers. Among them were Dr. Russell Conwell, who spoke' on Acres of Diamonds, and Cortot, the famous French pianist. Unusual opportunity to hear great musicians has been afforded us through the Choral Union. To us has been given a wonderful chance to watch Western grow. We have witnessed the formation of many societies which have tended to bind the student-body togetherg we have seen school spirit develop-not that ab- stract kind which one reads of and passes by, but the kind which thrills one through and through and makes him proud of his school. The members of the class of l92l have proven efficient in every undertaking which has re- quired executive ability. We are justly proud of our class and its achieve- ments. We leave this institution with regret, yet we are glad to go forth and Hll our places in the world. We feel the weight of the responsibility which rests upon our shoulders as educators of the rising generation. We can have no greater inspiration to the cause of our profession than the life of nobility of character and devotion to duty as shown by one of our instructors who was so suddenly taken from our midst. If we have caught a vision of that loyalty and optimistic enthusiasm which characterized her entire life, the past two years will not have been in vain. 61 .--2. its .. K- -11..

The range of subjects offered is very broad and constitutes an excellent preparation for the work of a high school teacher. The course is advantageous not only because of the range and quality of subjects offered, but also because of the fact that the same subjects apply credit for credit toward a Bachelor of Arts degree The number taking this course has increased very rapidly in the last few years, until at present it has the largest enrollment in the school. 62 XVARREN ABBOTT Three Rivers Y.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL LIFE The Junior High School course is one of the newer courses in the school but it is fast becoming one of the most popular. lt was organized for the purpose of preparing students to teach in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. This year there are both men and women enrolled in the course. The sub- jects included in the Junior I-Iigh course are very similar to those in the Senior High course. A new Junior I-Iigh Club was organized during the winter term and is comprised of about thirty-five enthusiastic members, all interested in the prob- lems of the Junior I-Iigh School. The meetings which are held every other Thursday have a two fold purpose, educational and social. This club has an excellent start and its aim is to enroll every person taking a Junior High School course as an active member. The officers for this year are: president, Adda Diltsg vice-president, Wilda Bateyg secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Miller. Miss Steinway is the faculty adviser. 70 ETHEL ABBOTT Comstock Junior High Club A light heart lives long. ADDA DILTS Kalamazoo Junior High Club, President Y. W. C. A. I hold my peare, sir?

Research and statistics show that the majority of children leave school after completing the sixth grade. Thus, a great opportunity is placed before teachers prepared to work with children in these grades--an opportunity not only to instill into their minds the rucliments of an education and the fundamentals of true American- ism, but also to encourage those who would otherwise drop out of school to continue their educations. Realizing the importance of such a field, the department strives to give its students thorough and liberal training. That the number enrolled in the course is growing from year to year is gratifying and augurs well indeed for the future of later elementary education. 75 ' DOROTHY ANDERSON Oteyokwa Club And Hope enchanted smiled, and wooed her golden l1air.'

E-US EARLY ELEMENTARY DEPARTMENT The Early Elementary Department claims the distinction of being the largest special department of Xvestern State Normal. Beginning in 1904 as a Kindergarten Department with an enrollment of five students, it has steadily grown until this year it numbers one hundred and twenty, and every indication points to greater numbers in the future. The Early Elementary Department of Western Normal is one of four such departments in the United States, that combine the work of the, kinder- garten and primary grades and thus do away with separate training for primary and kindergarten teachers. It may also be said that it is one of the most successful. The course embraces such subjects as will enable students to have a better opportunity for studying children in their early years. The students of the department have the privilege of practicing in the Early Elementary grades of the Kalamazoo Public Schools if they desire to do so. The class now graduating have witnessed several changes in the per- sonnel of the department. When they entered Miss Gage was at the head, but at the close of last year she left to become head of a similar department at Peabody College, Tennessee, and Miss Kern, who was associated with the department several years ago, returned to take Miss Gage's place. Due to the fact that Mrs. Campbell is on leave of absence during her sabbatical year, Miss Rudy has been in charge of the first grade. During the first half of the year Miss Blackburn was in charge of the second grade as Miss Ballon was away on leave of absence. Miss Ballou had been back only a month when the whole school and this department in particular were saddened by her sudden death. Her memory will be cherished by those who were fortunate enough to come into contact with her and will always be an inspiration to this de- partment. The Early Elementary slogan is UGrowth. With the splendid co-oper- ation of supervisors and students that is manifest, no fears need be enter- tained for the future. 81 IDA MAY ACKERMAN Bay City Y. W. C. A.

Q l MUSIC DEPARTMENT Within the last ten years the Music Department has become one of the most valuable departments of Western State Normal School and shows evi- dence of a very promising future. It is a department not for the school alone but is also a valuable asset to the community and attempts to be of the great- est service possible through its co-operation with the musical organizations of the city. All the music students sing in church choirs, a great many of which are directed by members of the faculty of the Music Department. The present organizations are Senior Girls' C-lee Club, junior Girls' C-lee Club, Men's Glee Club, Senior Girls' Quartette, junior Girls' Quartette, Orchestra, Band and Music Study Club. It is through the effort of the Choral Union, which is made up not only of students, but also of many musicians of the city, that the citizens of Kala- mazoo have been able to hear such artists as I-leifitz, Mable Garrison, Louise Craveure and Alfred Cortot, and such master works as The Messiah, Aida, the Requiem and the Hymn of Praise. Never before have communities realized the necessity and value of music as they now do and they are looking to music supervisors as the natural lead- ers in musical activities. lt is with anticipation of greater development that the Music Department of Western State Normal sends forth people trained to fill such places in community life. 89 EDYTH H.

The course of study has been broader and more versatile than ever. Miss Netzorg, who returned after Christmas, brought back many new ideas. Conspicuous among them was that much vaunted and invaluable stimulus known as Dynamic Symmetry. This new-old method, re-discovered by Jay Hambidge, and expounded in the field of painting by Howard Giles, Miss Netzorg's teacher, has proven a most potential and practical aid in design, picture composition and figure drawing. Miss Stevenson has lead her classes through fascinating avenues of ex- pression, in hand work. The proverbial artist's smock is already appearing in her class room. From Miss Spencer has been gained something of her zeal and joy in work. The significance of art study in the schools is increasing each year. The public has come to recognize this phase of the curriculum as not only valuable for its broadening influence, but as a vital, living something to satisfy a real human need. Students who enter the Art Department may feel that they have unusual opportunities for growth. The course offered is rich and varied-conducive to the development of originality and its application to the large field of art education. ' 93 LETA BOYER Buchanan Y. W. C.

Y- MANUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT Culture may be defined as ability to respond to a large number of stimuli. The more one investigates the courses in the Manual Arts Depart- ment, the more he will be led to see that the courses offered in this depart- ment are cultural as well as practical. The content of many of the courses is such that they function as definite preparation for business situations, industrial activities, and university en- gineering courses, as well as for the teaching of industrial subjects. The comparatively new course in Auto Mechanics is proving very popu- lar and effective. Machine Design and Architectural Drafting are making new and progressive strides. The subject of Printing, long considered of no importance as a school subject, is rapidly gaining in popularity. The begin- ning classes in Woodshop are now emphasizing elementary pattern making. The importance of structural and decorative design is making itself felt. The practical nature of the Machine Shop course has been very beneficial in the past and certainly will be more so in the future. The new Manual Arts building which is rapidly nearing completion, will be a big asset in enabling this department to demonstrate more fully what it can do. It aims to co-operate with other departments to serve special stu- dents. Those majoring in Science and Mathematics find it very beneficial to elect work in the Manual Arts Department. 95 LYNN C.

The department was organized because of the recognized value of such training for all girls, as well as the need for instructors qualified to teach this science in public schools. Home Economics work in the public schools trains the girls to be more efficient home helpers, better home makers and more intelligent consumers. Household Arts students at Western Normal have valuable opportunities for gaining experience in management by being in general charge of many banquets, luncheons, and food and gifts sales which are a part of the social affairs of the school. 99 HYLDRED ADAMS Marcellus Y.

That this aim has been realized is proved by the fact that of the forty-two graduates of this department, seventy- two per cent. have been placed in teaching positions and twenty-two per cent. in business. The increasing number going into business indicates that the course is standing the test of practicality. The enrollment has increased from seventeen in the fall of l9l6 to eighty-three in the fall of 1920. Every indication would lead one to believe that the enrollment will increase thirty per cent. next year. Although the commercial course is a highly specialized one, it is broad enough to cover the entire field of business, preparing its graduates for two distinct lines of work: teaching and business. ln the near future it will doubtlessly become a three year course, broadening the training and giving more opportunity for differentiation. 103 ETHEL KELSEY Delavan, Wis.

The Physical Education Department is striving hard to produce this state of happiness. There is no doubt that physical educa- tion has a fixed value in the world that can no longer be eliminated. All educators are realizing that promotion of health is necessary in preparing for life's work. The Girls' Physical Education Department has had a splendid enroll- ment for the past two years, but its aim is to produce qualiy, not quantity. The Men's Physical Education Department, although organized but last year, has already established its mark and is making the department very at- tractive to live and energetic young men. 107 EUPHRASIA ALDRICH Grand Rapids O woman!

There are sixteen students completing the life certificate course in rural education, and seventy-Five, the limited certificate course. All are going into desirable positions at excellent salaries. The practice teachers have had an unusual opportunity inasmuch as there are two modern rural schools con- nected with the Normal. Students in the Department take a keen interest and an active part in the general institutional activities. Closer co-operation with the public schools of Kalamazoo County has been an interesting feature of the year's work. By means of summer school and extension courses, the community service of the department has been broadened. Active co-operation with the State Department of Public ln- struction has brought a truer appreciation between Western State Normal and the teachers and pupils of the County Normal Training Classes in this part of Michigan. It is sincerely hoped that this better understanding will lead more graduates of the county normals to complete their state life certificate in Rural Education. The students of this department have splendid records in both scholar- ship and the voluntary social activities of the school. 111 Cheerful, good-natnredg always s1niling.

North, East, South, and West sent their quotas, and an examination of their registration cards showed that France, New Foundland and Mexico, as well as many states of the Union, were represented. This somewhat cosmopolitan group was well-piloted upon its arrival by the considerate upper-classmen, who attempted to instruct the new-comers in the ways and means of college life, and to alleviate their pangs of homesick- ness by various entertainments. A Men's Mixer served to help adjust the male portion of the class to its new surroundings, while receptions given by the faculty and Senior Class, respectively, served to bring the class as a whole together in a social way. After the first few weeks of random activity, a class organization was effected. Edward Hoffenbacher was elected presidentg Grace Mitchell, vice- president, Helen Hartzell, secretaryg and Mason Smith, treasurer. As the year passed, many close friendships were formed, and the Juniors entered more and more into the life of the school. School spirit was develop- ed and stimulated by contact with the various school activities, and college life was seen from a constantly broadening viewpoint. The Spring term saw the most important event of the year from a junior standpoint, in the form of the reception given to the members of the Senior Class. Throughout the entire year the members of the first year class have worked to the best of their ability for the betterment of Western State Normal. In the class room, in athletics, and in the various organizations and activities they have taken part as loyal students to a great school, preparing them- selves for a time when they shall be called upon to take the places of leader- ship now held by members of the upper classes. 125 u-A IND Ox W X v-1 N NI 1 r-A N W IEA RLY IiI.IiMEN'l'ARY n-A CA S MANUAL ARTS HOUSEHOLD ARTS COMMERCIAI PHYSICAL EDUCATION L ' , 'gg 'K SECOND YEAR A.

THE HERALD STAFF Perhaps the latest innovation at Western State Normal is the student section of the Herald Although it did not come into existence until the middle of the winter term, it has already become an established factor in the life of the school. Each issue shows better material and a greater number of contributions on the part of the student body, a more complete under- standing of the student-mind and more efficient organization on the part of the staff. The staff consists of representatives from each class, and its functions are primarily of the executive type. lts present members are: Ruth Van Horn, editor: Delton Osborn, Margaret Doty and Edwin Oakes, representing the third, fourth, second and first year classes respectively. 139 - alullllllllllllllvw- .1 a5'f n a0?'!' 5?Q.990 .-z.-ra.-. I '. ' i THE BOOSTER ,COMMITTEE ,The Booster Committee had its beginning in an effort on the part of the students to secure effective yelling at football games. committee from the Senate, co-operating with representatives from other organizations, staged a big mass meeting previous to the Chicago Y College game, and also suc- ceeded in having a large section of the bleachers reserved for students only. This committee, with Ruth Van Horn as chairman, was so successful in its undertaking that it was made permanent. New members were added, and a formal constitution was drawn, in which the purpose of the organization was declared to be the making known of the ideas and needs of the student body. The first work of the committee as formally organized was the arrange- ment of Western's part in the Armistice Day parade. Never before had the student body responded so loyally to a demonstration of this type. Not to be content with this accomplishment, the Booster committee conducted a tag sale to purchase band uniforms. The success of this effort secured for the Boosters a permanent place in the life of the school. , Officers were elected for the winter term as follows: . Chairman, Donald Boardmang Vice-Chairman, Elizabeth lVlcQuiggg and Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Van Horn. During this term, as before, the Boosters backed every school undertaking and likewise were influential in procuring a section for students in the Herald, matinee dances, pep at basketball games, and similar features. As yet the Booster committee is but in the pioneer stage--so far it work has been merely that of blazing a trail. The way has not always been easy nor decisions always correct. However, the committee has always found a great deal of pleasure in its work and feels that the spirit of good-fellowship, whole-hearted friendliness, and co-operation which has' sprung up in the past year has amply repaid any effort which has been extended. Although crude in structure, the possibilities of such an organization are great, and the present members who leave never to return again as enrolled students, trust that those who do come back will find a splendid group to assist them in the boosting of every worthwhile activity on the campus and of making Western Normal bigger and better than ever. 140 r- -IS- n-A 4 A . -, - ,A 6,1 i 4 9 Q I i 5 s 5 5 1 3, 1 E i BOOSTER COMMITTEE Thompson, Osborn.

When school opens in the fall, special assistance is given to new students. Committees, composed of Seniors, are appointed to meet trains, to help locate rooms, and to aid in registration. The women in rendering services do much to create a homelike atmosphere among the new-comers. The League, composed of all Women of the school, aims primarily to promote friendship and good-will among its members through social gather- ings. During the first week of the fall term an informal party was given in the gymnasium for the purpose of bringing together the women of the student body and faculty. This was followed a few weeks later by an annual tea. Practically every woman attended on this occasion. Professor Smith Burn- ham gave a talk that was enjoyable and to the point. After the program there was dancing, and tea was served in the Students' Club Room. Similar gather- ings have been held at which the various departments have been entertained. When the costume party was held last year, it was hoped that this would be established as an annual event. That this aim will be realized was assured by the success of the party given this year during the winter term. Through the efforts of the Women's League, a wonderful transformation has been wrought in the Students' Club Room. The new furnishings which have replaced the old, have given an artistic touch and have made the room more attractive than it has ever been before. It is also a place where one can go for quiet study or for rest in comfort. A new type of service has been undertaken in the work of the Sick Com- mittee, organized this year. Its object is to call on women students who are ill while away from home, and to provide them with flowers. During the summer vacation, the older students can secure the names and addresses of prospective students from the Dean of Women, and can open correspondence with them. This prepares the new-comers for their new surroundings and tends to make loneliness vanish when they arrive. Thus, the Women's League is at work all the time, and the ways in which it is of benefit to Western State Normal are immeasurable. 142 gglllggllllllllp I . 5 ' 5EiE'29xQ.ulIIlllIIInn llplllnlulw 1 F ll 'm5 !m!- if ' ull Q, ' E- x .... .mmlllllll faaf.gf:':Q?.2Qs.

'Alll Ille- ' GA -baht.-- ...-ta'?a!-in ggfgo lgagkdm V THE FORUM The Forum is the oldest and largest debating organization in Western State Normal. It occupies an important place on the campus, and in com- mon with other debating societies, fills a dehnite and vital need in the life of the school. Since this institution does not participate in inter-collegiate de- bating, the entire responsibility for promoting interest in forensic work, and for giving those interested in public speaking an opportunity to develop their talents, rests with societies of this nature. Debating societies also have the opportunity to develop leaders. Since keen and active minds are attracted to them, these organizations have it within themselves to function as power- ful influences for the better things in school ilfe. The Forum believes that during the past year it has successfully met these responsibilities and has upheld its traditions not only as a true leader in for- ensic activity, but also as a leading factor in school life. The regular programs have been lively and worthwhile and have consised of readings, general dis- cussions, parliamentary drills and formal debates. Every member of the so- ciety has taken part in formal debate at least three times during the year. Some of the more important subjects which have been debated are: Presiden- tial Election of 1920, Philippine Independence, Increased Armament, Income Tax Repeal, and Compulsory Arbitration. Professors Burnham and Moore have attended several meetings and have offered many helpful suggestions. Several social events have been held during the year. Banquets were held in December and March at the Y. lVl. C. A. Forum spirit and wit were much in evidence on both of these occasions. The annual banquet, held in june, when many of the alumni return for a reunion around the festive board, is the biggest social event of the year for the society. Chiefly through the efforts of the Forum and at a considerable expense of time, labor and money, a lVlen's Club Room has been obtained and fur- nished. This club room is a place where the men of the school can visit and study. It has also become the meeting place of the various men's organiza- tions. The opening of this much needed club room is one of the means by which the Forum has attempted to justify its claim to having a broader pur- pose than the mere fulfilling of the routine duties of a debating society. 144 S . alll Hp. my one-L,.,. .,1e'?.t-1? sfgfba mhw xi F l THE SENATE ln October 1920, the Senate begin its fifth successful yr-ar as the girls' forensic society of the school. lts immediate purpose is to stimulate interest in debate and in questions of public welfare, but of equal importance is the desire to promote school loyalty and to foster a democratic spirit. The membership of the society is limited to thirty-five girls, chosen at the beginning of each term on a basis of high scholarship and ability in public speaking. N ml? Some of the questions which have been debated this year are: Resolved, that the Non-Partisan League program should be adopted by the United Statesf' Resolved, that the United States should adopt a plan similar to the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations to settle all labor disputesf' and Re- solved, that the United States should grant the Phillipines their freedom. Two very interesting and instructive talks, one by Mr. Moore on the political situation, and one by Miss Harrison on the Phillipines, have been enjoyed during the year. The Senate, co-operating with the Forum, gave a unique and highly successful carnival, the 'Halloween Hurricanef The advertising for this event created much curiosity among the students in the early days of the fall term. The organization also carried out its custom of entertaining the student body on Thanksgiving afternoon. It has manifested its school spirit throughout the year by attending numerous games, lectures, and debates in a body. According to tradition, the Senate had its annual house-party at South Haven in the spring term, and as a part of the Commencement week program, the annual banquet was held, with special features to celebrate its fifth birth- day anniversary. , OFFICERS Mabelle' Vreeland ..............................................

Influenced by this consid- eration and by the promising possibilities of such an organization, a group of eight men met in the fall of last year. The result of this meeting was the for- mation of the Tribunal. - The object of the organization is to acquire, in the interests of good citi- zenship, a practical knowledge of debating and public speaking, to develop and maintain a keener spirit of club loyalty and school patriotismg to help raise the general standards of debating and public speaking by friendly com- petition with the other debating societies of the school, and by co-operating with them to promote inter-collegiate debating. Every member has a definite share in the work of the society. From this general participation has come that sense of individual responsibility so necessary to the success of any organized body. The contributions of the faculty advisors, Mr. Moore and Mr. Cain, to the success of the Tribunal can- not be too highly estimated. Among the members, moreover, have arisen remarkable friendships that have in turn produced a deep sense of loyalty to the society, whose continued success is insured by the conscientious efforts of its members striving for a common goal, 148 149 . alll wg, . my---Q 5?sffQs..s..,.- i g . 1 K . 1 . 5 .

Many inspiring talks have been given by city workers and different faculty members. Several interesting programs have been given in conjunction with the Y. M. C. .AL To extend the religious work, a Morning Watch has been held each morning at seven forty-five for ten minutes. At this time The Manhood of the Master has been studied. A Mission Study Class, organized this year, has met semi-monthly at the city Y. W. C. A. to study the religion and con- ditions in other countries. Special interest has also been created in the Bible Study class conducted by Miss Bell at the city Y. W. C. A. Many students are members of this class. Miss Pearce. one of the National Field Secretaries, visited the organiza- tion last fall. The members of the Cabinet gave a luncheon in her honor, to which a few outside guests were invited. She helped the officers formulate their plans for the year, and was a great source of inspiration to all. Western Normal was honored this year by having the position of Under Field Representative of the Y. W. C. A. in the normal schools of the lower peninsula conferred upon one of its number. Miss Martha Bird has worked very faithfully in this capacity. Many social gatherings have been held. The most important was Joy Night put on during the spring term in co-operation with the Y. M. C. A. At this time a large amount of money was raised toward the Lake Geneva fiind. A quota of 'delegates is sent to this great national convention each summer. The success of the undertakings has been due to the efficiency of the offi- cers and cabinet, and the splendid co-operation among the members. 150 Biery. Biril, Cooper, Neal, listabroolc, Kline.

Clifford Dixson, Herbert DelVloor, Loyal Phares, John Clementz, Burton Sibley, Harry Huller and lrving Gale, with Mr. Greenwall and Mr. Clyde Huff, the faculty advisors, left Kalamazoo for Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. This was the largest and livest delegation ever sent from Normal to the Inter- collegiate Stuclent's Conference. The inspiration and ideas which were se- cured at this beautiful lake encampment have reflected in the work of the Y this year. These delegates returned to the Normal in the fall and gave the work of the Y. M. C.A. its initial impetus by staging a lVlen's Mixer the second week of the term. The Mixer gave the men a chance to get acquainted, and was such a popular .event that each succeeding term has been ushered in with a like party. No fellow who witnessed the heavyweight bout between O'Brien and Hulscher will ever forget it, nor will he fail to register satisfaction when the Netcher-Dixson mat tussle is mentioned. Early in the fall a membership campaign was carried out and seventy men joined the association. Thus the year's Work was well started, and pro- grams for meetings were next considered. It was decided to have Bible study every othre week and to secure a speaker for the other meetings, or to have a social party. This program has been carried out successfully. The men who have given talks to the Y are Dr. Dunning, Dr. Burnham, Andrew Lenderink and Jud l-lyames. Besides its other activities the Y. M. C. A. has published a student di- rectory. An entertainment was given during the spring term, under the direc- tion of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. and the proceeds put in a fund to send delegates to Lake Geneva in the future. 152 Maybee, Starring. Sibley. Huff, Netcher, Oakes Clementz, De Moor, Phares, Goodrich, Huller Y. M. C. A.

The call for recruits in scouting this fall brought forth a goodly number. Many of its old members returned, retaining their old time enthusiasm. The troop was organized and the following officers were elected: presi- dent, Mary Bottjeg vice-president, Ruth Priceg secretary, Marian Ayres: treasurer, Ruth I-luizenga. Miss Guiot acted as captain this year. The troop is composed of five organized patrols or forty members. Very little hiking and active scouting was done during the fall and winter terms. However, the Girl Scout spirit was kept alive by weekly editorials written for the school paper, which discussed and enlarged upon each scout law. During the winter term the old scouts entertained the new scouts at a party given in the gymnasium. This spring the scouts have done much constructive work at the shack, making the place more attractive and useful. It is at the shack where many of the tests such as cooking, woodcraft, first aid, bird lore, and fire building are given. It is hoped that scouting in the future will progress as rapidly as it has in the past. 154 ,.,.,. GIRL SCOUTS Dutton, Van Sickle, F.

On November the eleventh, last fall, a meeting was called for the purpose of organizing. Upper Michigan was represented by nearly fifty students and the name Oteyokwa was chosen for the society formed. Oteyokwa is an Indian word which means the gathering of friends in a strange land. The Oteyokwa club aims to furnish a means whereby its members may come together in an informal way. lt also strives to advertise Western Nor- mal among the young people back home. Co-operation and friendliness have characterized every undertaking of the club. lts meetings thus far have been largely social. Some of the special activities were the Thanksgiving Banquet which was given at the Y. W. C. A., and the entertainment furnished to the basketball team from the Houghton College of Mines when it played against the Normal team. A St. Patrick's Day Party was also given under the auspices of the club. The officers of the club are: president, Edward Hoffenbacherg vice- president, Richard Martin, secretary, Dorothy Laney treasurer, Walter Farrar. 158 TXVIN CITY CLUB Pliarcs, Skibitzke, McDorman, Petero, Vogt Frank.

Although the society is new, it has already had many pleasant gatherings. During the winter vacation a banquet was held in the Twin Cities by the club members. This did much to popularize Western Normal among the young people who are interested in higher education. The club also plans to encourage others to attend this institution. CA list will be made each year of students of Benton Harbor and St. Joseph high- schools who will graduate at the end of the year and of alumni not attending college. Those who decide to come to this school will be met at the train upon their arrival and will be helped to register.

The organization first started as a result of short im- promptu discussions by students of the department concerning their work. At the suggestion to hold a 'round-table' every two weeks, the club came into existence. . Meeting are held every two weeks or at the call of the president, for the purpose of discussing industrial problems. Often speakers are invited to dis- cuss problems not connected with the work so that members may become acquainted with other than industrial enterprises. Social functions are usually undertaken in the form of various kinds of entertainment at the regular meetings. The Manual Arts Ball, given March 4th was a great success. It was largely attended, many alumni returning for this annual event. Thee beautiful decorations, which gave to the gym- nasium the appearance of a ball-room, were a special feature.

Mem- bership is open to students and faculty of the department, and to anyone electing at least two commercial subjects. The club aims to acquaint its members with each other, to discuss cur- rent commercial problems and topics of interest, and to provide for the inner man and the gayer side of life through social meetings. This year the organization has had ample opportunity to test its effi- ciency in conducting the State Shorthand and Typing Contest, which was held the twentieth of May. The local work was in charge of a general club com- mittee under the direction of Mr. Loring. With the help of each individual member, this committee made the event a distinct success. OFFICERS L.

Membership in the society is limited to advanced French classes. Meetings are held the third Monday of every month and consist of talks, dramatiza- tions and music, followed by a social hour. Mrs. Hockenberry and Mr. Des Marais are the faculty advisors. Western Normal is the first Normal school in the country to offer a scholarship to a French student. This year it has been especially fortunate in having enrolled among its students Mile. Marie Bureau of Paris, who has done much in creating a French atmosphere and in taking part in the meet- ings of Le Cercle Francais. The programs of the society for the past year have been varied and in- teresting. To mention several of the programs, Mile. Bureau spoke of Quel- ques Impressions d'Amerique at the first meeting of the year. Later Mrs. Hockenberry gave a very interesting talk on chateaux in Fountainbleau and Versailles, illustrated by stereoptican slides. The annual Christmas party, to which all students in the French department were invited, was held in the rotunda of the Training School. The program consisted of colored slides of Nativity scenes from famous artists, accompaniied by Scripture quotations, carols and poems in French. At another meeting scenes from Le voyage cle M. Perrichonu were given by members of Mr. Des Marias' second year class. Mlle. Genty of Kalamazoo College also talked on Les Coutumes en Prov- ence. The last meeting of the year was a banquet for all members of the society, and was one of the most successful events in the history of the organi- zation.

It has a membership of fifty- five. The object of the club is to study the more interesting phases of the teaching profession, particularly in their relation to the later elementary sub- jects. At the meetings, current topics and problems which arise in the Train- ing School are discussed. Lectures by the faculty supervisors have greatly broadened the vision of those who have attended, Many social events have been enjoyed, among them a Halloweien party last fall and a Weiner roast in the spring.

The question was asked by a stranger visiting Western State Normal. The group of girls whom he was addressing stopped, and finding that the stranger was interested, in- vited him to sit down while they told him all about it. There is a club in this school, they began, made up of about eighty- flve enthusiastic girls, who belong to the Early Elementary department. Twice each month they meet in the Kindergarten room. Sometimes there are special meetings, perhaps to make plans for a party, to do some work for the school, or to make gifts for a member absent because of illness. But just what is the club for? What do you accomplish? What is your aim, Work and interest? Our aim? Why--I guess it's just to make folks happier. We get to- gether and talk about the things we have in common and in that way we come to know all the people in our department. Our interests? Work? Well, there is our Easter sale. We have one every year. You see, we earn the money in this way with which we maintain our scholarship fund and support our French orphan. This is the fourth year we have supported our orphan. This year we have accomplished what we feel is the greatest thing ever at- tempted by our department. We have established a scholarship fund of one hundred dollars, the first offered by any group of students in the student body. This scholarship, called the Fannie Ballou Scholarship, is to be offered yearly. We feel that the raising of scholarship funds is something which will soon be done quite generally by enterprising student organizations and we are proud to be the first to inaugurate such a plan. Early in the fall term we had charge of one of the student parties held in the gymnasium. This year, as for several years previous, we gave the party in the form of a harvest dance with a harvest moon and refreshments. Sometimes we have parties by our- selves. The programs and 'eats' are always fine. The Juniors are a peppy lot and we expect they'll do big things next year.

The programs, held every two weeks, consist of papers and talks by different students on such topics as Roman dress, Roman homes and other related subjects. In this way a knowledge of the life and cus- toms of ancient Rome is gained: for lack of time prevents a detailed study of such subjects in regular classes. Following the program there is a social half hour which gives the members an opportunity to become better acquainted. Students are in charge of the programs and other activities throughout the year.

Meetings are held once every month at school or at the homes of students who live in the city. The by-laws of the club were amended this year in order that more effi- cient and effective work might be done in the future. Committees were ap- pointed to take charge of publicity, social affairs, general welfare and the pro- grams given at the meetings. The work of especial interest done by the club this year was the aid given to the Civic League of the city at Christmas time.

All students taking work in any department of science are eligible to membership and it is the aim of the club to make every student interested in science an active member. The goal is fast being ap- proached. At the meetings matters of vital importance in the scientific world that can not be fully dealt with in the class room are discussed. Among the mem- bers of the faculty who have given interesting and instructive lectures are Professor Fox, Dr. Harvey, Dr. Burnham and Dr. Henry. The club has made a very prosperous beginning and the prospects are bright that it will rise to a prominent position among the student organizations of Western. OFFICERS Clarence E.

McMillen Florence Mason Carol Hildner Delton Osborn Mary Bottje WOMEN'S LEAGUE COSTUME PARTY The annual costume party of the Women's League was held. Saturday evening, January twenty-ninth. Between three and four hundred womenbof the school were present and the gymnasium, attractively decorated, presented a most fascinating scene. The Brown and Gold Twins, Hawaiian. maidens, fairies, witches, bandits, and brownies-all were there to make the occasion ..a memorable one. I A Those who through their ingenuity won prizes were: Mary Bottje and Reatha Eckert, dressed in home brew barrels, for the most unique costumes! Louise Schlutt, as a snow ball, and Lucy Tolhurst, as an American officer, the most attractive coupleg Imogene Rousseau, wearing a costume made from Vogue covers pasted on black net, the most original costumeg and Ruth Price, as a pop-corn ball, the cleverest costume. ' Dancing was the main diversion of the evening. Other features were the grand march and the moonlight drill by members of the Physical Educa- tion Department, who wore electric torches on their heads. ' ' Although the men of the student body were not invited to this festival. its popularity with them was made manifest by the large audience which oc- cupied the hill north of the gymnasium throughout the evening. ' ' l 181 RURAL PROGRESS DAY Rural Progress Day was the earliest established of the annual functions that have gained a permanent place in the life of Western State Normal. It had its beginning in the Rural Sociological Seminar in i904 which held its meetings once a year under the auspices of the Department of Rural Education. Until l9l2, the Rural Progress Day was combined with Arbor and Bird Day, the entire program consisting of a lecture and an informal reception. How- ever, there was a feeling that still greater benefit could be derived from this function. Accordingly, in l9l3, the date was changed from May to March and the program elaborated into a whole day conference on country life and rural problems in general. The program consisted of a forenoon forum dis- cussion of specific problems and activities in rural life, a picnic dinner at noon and an 'afternoon program of lectures. ln I9 I 9 a new feature was introduced into the program in the form of a reunion of former students and graduates of the Department of Rural Education. This year the whole function was unusually successful. There were about eight hundred who attended. The State Nature Study and Garden Association held their annual meeting in conjunction with the Rural Progress Day. This has been done for the past three years through the active co-oper- ation of Miss Hadley of the Biology Department. It was thus made possible to secure for both meetings some speakers whom neither meeting could have had alone. V i ' Most generous co-operation. has been given the function by Michigan leaders in the industrial, educational, social and religious phases of rural life and by the faculty of Western State Normal School. The County Normal Schools of southwestern Michigan have also given their hearty support. By means of Rural Progress Day, the students of the Department of Rural Educa- tion have come into relationship with an institution that can- mean much in their teaching experience. It likewise affords a splendid opportunity for many of the rural population of Kalamazoo County and counties surrounding to have a meeting of their own each year at which the problems of the rural community are studied. ' The fifteen annual rural progress lectures have been as follows: The Social Factors in Rural Progress, President K. L. Butterfield, Amherst, Mass.3 The Outlook for Rural Progress, Dean L. H. Bailey, lthaca, N. Y.g Edu- cation in Rural Progress, Dean Eugene Davenport, Urbana, Ill.g Some Rural Problems, Hon. Charles W.

It has in fact become a tradi- tional ceremony, and ever since the collegiate course was initiated, it has marked the first appearance of degree seniors in their caps and gowns. This year the observance took place on Thursday, April twenty-eighth. A very interesting program was given in the gymnasium, followed by the procession of students and faculty. The scene presented was most impressive. as the line, led by the band, with the students arranged according to depart- ments and wearing appropriate insignia, marched down the main steps of the campus to the foot of the hill, where the planting of the rosa rugosa hedge took place.

It was spectacular and impressive-spectacular because of its length, its beauty, and the number of industries and organizations represented, and impressive because of the en- thusiasm and whole-hearted spirit in which each unit co-operated to make the display a success. Western Normal lead the second division of the parade. Her procession- al was headed by a beautiful float representing Education and the mental, moral and physical development which it gives. Then came Western itself- twelve hundred strong. The band was there, the faculty was there, every man and woman student was there-marching to the sound of martial music, and cheering and singing continuously. Paper caps of brown and gold were worn by all. The effect produced was wonderful, as Western's contingent sttretchecl out for blocks and blocks. A A greater opportunity was never given to the city to realize the magnitude of this college. The spirit and pep of the student body not only impressed the onlookers with the liveliness of Western, but also ,showed the increasing interest among young people in higher education. 184 - HM L1 zap! endia- onset-. S-, 7 185 1 Q 5 x 75 - 2 THE NORMAL BAND Among the many organizations of Western Normal it is certain that none is more popular with the student body than the band. For the first time in the history of the school, W. S..N. can boast of a band well-balanced and fully equipped as to uniforms and instruments. Past efforts at organizing such a group have been more or less successful because of the limited number of students with the necessary ability. But this year wonderful possibilities were recognized and early in the fall term a call was issued for band men. More than a score of experienced players responded and in a very short time the new band made its first public appear- ance. At that time they did not have uniforms. However, it was not long before they were provided with caps and coats but-no trousers. When the weather began to get colder the student body thought it time to procure the rest of the uniforms and thus protect the band men from the cold. This they did and the band became l00 percent uniformed as well as l00 percent effi- cient. Under the competent leadership of Virgil Altenburg, the band has put the old fighting spirit into the student body and members of the athletic teams. Each member of the band has performed his duty faithfully and has given that co-operation which has put genuine pep into school life. The band has been present at every athletic contest during the year and has given concerts for the student body, and has assisted in boosting the school spirit. lt has more than fulfilled the expectations of its supporters who hope that Western will always be as fortunate in having such capability among its stu- dents. 186 u ,....4un1i BAND Osborn, Everett, DL-Long, G.

NORMAL ORCHESTRA Under the direction of Professor Maybee, the Normal Orchestra has be- come one of the most active organizations in the Music Department. It has furnished music for Tuesday morning assemblies, for the men's annual ban- quet, and similar functions. At Christmas time, with the aid of several local musicians, it accompanied the chorus in the production of Handel's i'Messiah. Some selections from well-known operas have been studied and work that is really worth while has been accomplished. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: first Violin, Doris Gilbert, Freda Kutschinski, Cynthia Stocking and Christopher Overlyg second violin, Lelah Smith, Alice Buys and Mary Dotyg viola, Merinda Dudley, cello, Eulene Trimmg flute, Randall Osborng clarinet, Virgil Altenburg and Dorr Wildeg trombone, Lawrence McMilleng piano, Marvel Liddy. 188 189 MEN'S GLEE CLUB The lVlen's Glaze Club has the distinction of being composed of men who have experienced whatever pleasure there may be from constant practice. This training has not, however, been the only fruit of their labor for upon numerous occasions a variety of audiences have been truly entertained. ln the very sharp competition for the best episode upon the Y joy night the Culcc Club was far in the lead for the fine Western blanket offffered as first prize. With the Armorous Ike, Ambitious Rolland and uAcln'1irable Miranda Stein Haunting their borrowed feminitiesg and with the pealing notes of the pedaphone the club was a sure tape breaker. The men of the club have enjoyed their Work and hope that the students of coming years will energetically support this organization.

SENIOR GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Senior Girls' Glee Club is an organization composed of the Senior Music Students and other Senior girls with musical talent. The club has furnished music for several assemblies in the Normal and in the Training School, for the Music Study Club, and for meetings of various school and city organizations. The club also sang several numbers for the Music Memory Contest, including To a Wild Rose, by MacDowell, The Blue Danube Waltz, by Strauss, and Minuet in G, by Beethoven. Much credit and appreciation must be given to Professor Maybee, whose earnest coaching has made the time spent thoroughly enjoyable. Not only enjoyment but practical experience has been gained and the work of the year will never be regretted. 192 Emerson. Doolittle, Norcross, Sclilutt, Gray. SENIOR GIRLS' QUARTETTE The Senior Girls' Quartette is composed of Senior Music Students. Since music is their specialty, much has been done in four part singing. The girls have assisted with the musical programs in the Normal and Training School assemblies, at various programs of school organizations, and at meetings of city clubs. The personnel is: Louise Schlutt, first sopranog Amelia Gray, second sopranog Louise Norcross, first contralto: joy Doolittle, second contraltog and Lois Emerson, accompanist. 193 Hzirtzcll, XVcimc1', Kutschinski, Tico, Thurston.

JUNIOR GIRLS' GLEE CLUB A group of twenty enthusiastic youg Women, under the able direction of Miss Liddy, have done some interesting ensemble work. This organization is known as the Junior Girls' Glee Club. They have appeared publicly several times this year, and gave some attractive numbers this spring. As there are some excellent solo voices in the group, the prospects are promising for the building up of a line glee club. Wfright, Corbin, XVcimcr, Shrocler, Nichols. JUNIOR QUARTET The Junior Girls' Quartet is composed of Lovella Schroder, first soprano: June Corbin, second sopranog Dora Wright, first contraltog Ruth Nichols, second contraltog and Claribclle Weimer, accompanist. Although these girls are singing together for the first time, they are far from inexperienced in musical circles. Real musical talent, combined with interest and enthusiasm promise well for the future of this quartet. 194 r . will up 1 5' am!-.Q .... ..1o'?.!-1: gQ4f2aa!q.?:rvN F 1 w l 1 - - i ELLADAI ON BOARD THE GOOD SHIP MUSIC STUDY CLUB Dear Friends: Under the efficient guidance of Captain Maybee, Mates Henderson and Davis, Engineers Combs and Liddy, the ship is having a very successful jour- ney. On October fifteenth, we received a message which read something like this: Ship harboring in Music Room 6A at 8 o'clock. All hands on deck. The passengers, consisting of the Senior and Junior Music students and the Men's Glee club, were on board in due time. We dropped anchor in the Music room where we enjoyed a splendid program given by the ship's offi- cers, or as we commonly call them-the faculty. it was another month before we harbored again. This time the Club Room was the port and the program was given by passengers including the Senior Girls' Glee club, the Men's Glee club and soloists. From this time on the ship sailed from port to port and at each one we enjoyed a rare musical treat from various groups: Alumni, Junior Girls' Glee club, Men's quartet, and individuals. Oh yes-l mustn't forget to tell you about the community singing. It was great! Everyone took a part, showing the real spirit and enthusiasm of sea-faring people. The disembarkations were always something to look forward to and long remember. To see Mate Henderson wheel in the tea-wagon filled with ice cream was refreshing, to say the least. Although the ship is still at sea, it is headed for larger and greater ports and will always steam toward the one just beyond. Sincerely yours, A. Passenger 195 --I., ffl! ,gr 4 ,g s UlllllllIIIIlIIf' L I THE KALAMAZ00 CHORAL UNION It has been claimed by its admirers and supporters, that Kalamazoo's most worth-while organization is the Kalamazoo Choral Union. This is true because of the increasingly important part which it plays in community affairs. First, its efforts have resulted in a series of annual concerts given in this city by the most famous artists obtainable, and second, through the chorus, it has provided a means whereby a great number of local musicians, the majority of whom are Normal students, obtain inspiration' and training in vocal work. This year, according to custom, l-lanclel's Messiah was given in De- cember. The orchestra was a combination of the Normal orchestra and of townspeople who had previously performed in this capacity. The soloists were local peopleg and these together with the chorus worked in such a way that the performance was said to have been the best ever given in the city. The Choral Union has also to its credit the bringing to the city of many famous musicians. This year the list included Mabel Garrison, Louis Graveure. Alfred Cortot, Albert Spaulding and Sophie Braslau. The annual May Festival is the one event to which all of musical Kala- maoo eagerly looks forward every year. The keenness of their expectations found ample fulfillment in the three concerts given in May of this year. The first one was by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, with Jeanne Gordon as soloistg the second, by the orchestra and the children's chorus, singing Alice in Wonderland, by Page: the last and crowning event was the gala perform- ance of the lVlanzoni Requiem by Verdi. This was performed by the or- chestra, the chorus and the following soloists: Marie Sundelius, Jeanne Gordon, Paul Althouse andijames Goddard. By these things Kalamazoo has advanced beyond the experimental stage in music and is now waiting at the door of larger recognition in circles abroad. These achievements, perhaps unique, and certainly somewhat ahead of those of similar cities, can be ascribed chiefly to one man who by his own untiring efforts and genius at enlisting the support of others has brought a dream of reality. This man is its conductor and sponsor, Harper C. Maybee. He, with his able accompanist, Mr. H. Glenn Henderson, is, in the broadest sense, giv- ing each year to the community in which he lives and labors a truer and higher incentive for the best in noble living. 196 W ull I IIN E LECML! glad ue, 99 . l lu 1 51 ,, 'Y' , 'J I Q 523- .

The fall term was especially successful, the programs consisting of a study of the Irish Re- naissance in Drama, with particular emphasis on the life and plays of Lord Dunsany. Two one-act plays, Indian Summer and The Glittering Gate, were presentd, both written by Dunsany. Preparation for the mid-winter play occupied the greater part of the winter term, which was featured with a banquet at the Park-American hotel, given in honor of the play cast. This organization is making itself felt more and more in the life of the school, through the medium of its annual plays. It would seem that its great- est possibilities for the future lie in the Held of one-act plays, for it is this line of work that gives a greater number of students opportunity for training along dramatic lines and thus builds up in them a keener appreciation for the drama.

S ecretary-Treasurer 199 THE BIG IDEA At the Fuller Theatre on Friday evening, February 25, 192 I, the Western Normal Dramatic Association presented as its annual mid-winter play The Big ldea, written by A. E. Thomas and Clayton Hamilton. The large audi- ence which lilled the theatre to capacity, proclaimed the play to be the greatest success of any production attempted by the Dramatic Association in recent years. The characters were well fitted to their parts and showed unusual tal- ent. Although the play was not a light comedy, a humorous element ran through it, and the audience, though it did not lose sight of the deeper senti- ments which the play expressed, was kept continuously in a happy mood. The staging was under the direction of Miss Netzorg, and was most effec- tive and appropriate. Furniture was supplied by Yaple's Furniture Store and Doubleday Brothers, bric-a-brac and dishes by the Pottery Shop, and pictures by Geary's Art Shop. Rugs and draperies were furnished by R Jones' Sons 6: Co., women's costumes by Speyer's Cloak and Suit Store, and milli- nery by R. Blossom. The play was produced under the direction of Miss Laura Shaw of the Department of Speech. This is the first! year that Miss Shaw has coached the mid-winter play, and much credit for its great success is due to her efforts.

Never in the dramatic history of the institution has such a difficult undertaking met with such success. The play, as an out-of-door pro- duction, was a distinct achievement, for it was not only beautiful and spectac- ular, but at times, rose to dramatic heights seldom reached in amateur per- formances. The setting was ideal. The natural amphitheatre on the campus af- forded every opportunity for rich effect. The lighting was complete in every detail. Soft yellow light harmonized with the natural green of the forest as a back-ground, suggesting in every way, the rendezvous of fairyland. In such an environment, this romantic and tragic story unfolded itself. The costuming of the production was gorgeous. Robin in his green and scarlet, Maid Marian decked in cloth of silver, Prince John, King Richard, Little john, Blondel, foresters and serfs, all dressed in harmony with the pro- duction, blended with the setting to make the scenes picturesque. The success of the production was not due to a few alone. Much credit should be given to Miss Laura Shaw of the Department of Speech, who directed the play in a most capable manner. The fairy scenes and dances in the play were presented with excellent quality and grace by the Physical Edu- cation Department. The lighting effects were in charge of the Practical Elec- tricity class. Many hours were spent by them in wiring the large amphitheatre. Their efforts were well awarded, however, by the charm and beauty given the production. To those who love the beautiful and can see beyond the art of stage-craft, Sherwood will always remain a worthwhile undertaking well clone. The cast which presented it, will always be a proud one. Never was the charm, the romance, and the poetic beauty which mark the work of Alfred Noyes more greatly appreciated than on the part of the actors as they worked to mold his story of Robin Hood into a finished production. 201 Cast of characters in order of appearance: Serf ....................,.............,........ ........

J'.r1 INTOSI1 I8 2 1 .:ZufOgg9gg 205 . alll llius- FOOTBALL Normal's 1920 football season was one of those through which every college eleven has some time or other to fight itself. I9 l 9 was a record year for the Brown and Gold athletes in all lines of sports, and football in particu- lar touched high points of achievement. Teams like M. A. C. and Wabash were beaten in thrilling games. While these gridiron conquests brought fame and glory to the school they also brought on certain inevitable consequences, for several schools were frightened off the I920 schedule and it became necessary to play against much stronger teams than in I9 l 9. Thus in addition to Notre Dame, Marquette University was scheduled, together with Earlham and Wabash Colleges. To make matters still more difficult, most of the veterans of I9I9 graduated, and the hardest schedule in the history of the school had to be played with practically a new aggregation. However, the coaching staff went resolutely to the task of building up an eleven which would bring credit to the school. First steps were taken by sending the squad to the pre-season training camp at Crooked Lake for a period of ten days. An erstwhile sheep pasture served as a gridiron, the lake furnished stimulating baths, while Baker's hotel offered wholesome chow and rest for lame sinews and Weary bones. Twenty-eight men took this pre- liminary training. The eleven returned to Kalamazoo when school commenced and blithely opened the season with Olivet, running over the resurrected Congregationa- lists by a 54-7 score. This looked like a good get-away, but the following Saturday called for a journey to Cartier field at South Bend and an encounter with Notre Dame, boasting, as subsequent events proved, a team not to be beaten in l920. Normal put up a game battle and might have held the score low but for the individual skill of Gipp, chosen later by Walter Camp for the All- American team. The final count was 41-0. Normal outplayed Notre Dame in the third quarter. 206 The third game of the season. the Brown and Gold warriors would have won with a little more earnest effort. They apparently underestimated the Chicago Y. M C. A. College team and the visitors walked off hugely elated with the better end of a I0-6 score. The next game was another Notre Dame affair. Marquette University at Milwaukee proved a powerful team which crushed Normal bv weight in the concluding quarters, rather than by outplaying Coach Spaulclimjs men. Indeed, in the first quarter, the Brown and Gold gave Marquette a real scare, scoring a touchdown on four plays, the ball going over on a brilliant forward- pass to Freeman. The score for the first quarter was 7-7g but the final whistle found Marquette leading, 46-7. Hope came down to Normal field quite hopeful after these early sea- son reverses of the Brown and Gold, but the l-lollanders' chances of victory were soon shattered. Normal had thrived under defeat and ran over the heavier upstaters to the tune of 46-0. Then the team traveled to Richmond, Indiana, for the first gridiron en- counter ever scheduled with Earlham college. The Hoosiers were heavier than Coach Spaulding's men, but were outbattled all the way and Normal won 6-0. The touchdown was made by Captain Westgate on a clever for- ward-pass from Gill. The latter's punting was also a feature of the contest. The final game of the season was played with Wabash at Crawfordsville, lndiana, Friday, November l2. This was the big game of the season, as it was in l9l9,. when Normal won on the home field by a 27-I 3 score. The Little Giants had an even more powerful team than the previous year and were primed for revenge. Normal put up a wonderful game and outplayed the Hoosiers in the first half, though neither team scored. Normal had a chance, but Westgate missed a pass with a clear field to the goal. Wabash also came near scoring when a Hoosier picked up a fumble and raced to the goal line. Van Wingen caught him from behind on the fifteen yard line with a beautiful tackle. ln the second half, Knee, the Wabash star, broke loose for a long run and this upset the Normal defense temporarily. Before a rally could be made, Wabash scored three touchdowns. The Brown and Gold then staged a splendid comeback and scored on seven plays, Westgate taking a pass to the one-yard line and Bennett bucking it over. Wabash scored once more which made the final score 27-7. Though more games were lost than has been the case with Normal teams of late years, the season was in some respects a satisfying success. The team steadily improved, fought well all the way through, and finished up with that splendid game against Wabash. That the spirit of the Brown and Gold war- riors was unbroken was manifest after the game when on the way home plans were discussed for making l92l a banner season.

Western Normal's l92l basket- ball team not only earned this title beyond any possibility of contradiction but also gained distinction as one of the leading teams of the middle west. ln trying to maintain the splendid record made by the quintet of l920, this yearis team played one of the heaviest schedules ever undertaken by any Normal team and finished a most successful season. When the initial call for basketball practice was given, a record-breaking number of candidates reported with their previous reputations to Coach Spaulding. Even with his experience and ability in judging athletes he found it difficult to single out a capable squad, and to pick men of equal ability to fill the vacancies left by Eva, Olsen, Houston, and Shepherd of last year. The first game played by Western Normal's undeveloped team was with the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. The team put up a good fight and led at the end of the first half, but their basket shooting ability was not yet up to par. Consequently, when the final whistle blew Normal had the short end of a 26 to I2 score. The second game was played during the Christmas vacation with the Canadian champions. Although three Normal players were on their vacations, the all-stars were defeated in a fast and exciting game, by a score of 30 to l6. During the first week of the winter term, Olivet journeyed to Kazoo for its annual game with Western. Because of the University of Detroit game the following night, Coach Spaulding started his second five. Olivet, taking ad- vantage of the rattled scrubs, began to pile up points. This was too much for Spaul and he put in the entire first team before the end of the first half. The first team finished the game and held Olivet to one point. The final score was 25 to l l in favor of Normal. The following day the team played the University of Detroit on their own floor. As yet, the Normal line-up had not been thoroughly settled and 210 the men had not attained their shooting eye. Detroit made the most of its opportunity and won, 25 to 7. Northwestern College was the next victim to fall before the Normal quintet. By this time Spaulding believed he had developed a team that was capable of both offensive and defensive playing. The Brown and Gold found themselves up against a fast aggregation but by superior playing defeated Northwestern 30 to l8. When the outlook for a winning team was in view Old Man Jinx crept in and upset the dope. For in the three following games-two with M. A. C. and one with Valparaiso-Normal was unable to emerge victorious. The loss to the Aggies on the home fioor was undoubtedly due to the removal of the strongest defensive player on the team. The score was I6 to 22. Val- paraiso, with a superior team which displayed some marvelous basket shooting and team work, won a deserved victory, 29 to ll. The final defeat of this disastrous slump was suffered at the hands of M. A. C., 29 to l9. Burning with a desire to come back and to show the skeptical that the old Normal fighting spirit had not been lost, the team entered the Notre Dame fray with a determination to do or to die. ln a Gymnasium packed with en- thusiastic supporters who had stood behind their team through defeat as well as victory, Normal trampled over the lrishmen, outclassing and outplaying them at all angles of the game. The score was 30 to 23. This was the be- ginning of a long winning streak, for only one game was lost thereafter, that being to Notre Dame on its own floor by the close score of 24 to l9. This was the first defeat Normal had received at the hands of Notre Dame in three years. The time had come when it was woe unto those who had to play against the Brown and Cold, for defeat was sure. Two games were won from Grand Rapids Y, The encounter at Grand Rapids was very close, due to the fact that Normal did not wake up untileit found that there were only three min- utes left and Grand Rapids was in the lead. As a man steps on the accele- rator to speed up his car, so Spaulding injected his speedy forward and the game was won 22-20. Normal showed its superior class by later defeating the same team on the home floor, 48 to 29. For the first time in years Western Normal defeated Hope in two games during one season. In these two games some very high class basketball skill was displayed and it was only through its fighting ability that Normal was able to down the Dutchmen. The score of the game at Holland was 28 to 24, and that of the game played at Kazoo, 2l to I4, both in favor of Normal. These scores in themselves indicate the type of games played. A game with the Michigan College of Mines was sandwiched in the sched- ule. This representative team from the Upper Peninsula started at a speedy pace but lacked endurance and the game ended well in the hands of the Brown and Gold, score 39-2l. Revenge is sweet rang in the ears of every man on the Normal team as the night of the University of Detroit game neared. After the so-called fight talk by the coach, five men stepped upon the basketball floor bound to beat 'em or bust. It was a long-looked-forward-to occasion for the Nor- 211 mal team which demonstrated the wonderful improvement made since the start of the season. Those who witnessed the game will testify that some real basketball was displayed. The score was decisive, 28-I9. The final game was with our old friend, Mt. Pleasant Normal, which had at last regained courage and decided to play the game which they had prom- ised to play last season. It was in this game that Western State Normal wrested the State Normal Championship from Central Normal. It was be- yond a doubt the most furiously fought game of the season. The final blast of the referee's whistle found the count I8--I 3 and Western Normal Michi- gan State Normal Championsf' ' Due credit should be given to the reserves who made possible the suc- cess of the 1921 season and it is on these men that Coach Spaulding will lay his hopes for the year l922. The student body must also be given some cre- dit for the success of this season, for never in the history of the school was there a team given the loyal support through victory and defeat as was given this year's basketeers, both by students and outsiders.

Only three players had been lost through graduation, and though it was realized that they would be hard to replace, a large number of promising recruits bade fair to fill the vacancies in a capable manner. Under the leadership of Captain Harvey Freeman, who had gained fame in l920 by blanking the champion University of Michigan team with two hits, Normal's redoubtable crew of ball-tosser's faced the most difficult schedule that Coach Spaulding could secure for it. The season was opened by a game with the old rival, Central State Nor- mal, on its own field. The opposing slabsmen, Freeman' and l..eCronier, were both invincible, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. The next three games were disastrous, the team being unable to hit at opportune moments, and the infield playing a loose brand of ball behind Freeman. M. A. C. won a poor contest by a I2-6 score, Albion through sheer luck surprised itself with a 4-3 win, while one had inning on Normal's part was responsible for a S-0 defeat at the hands of last year's victims, the University of Michigan. These defeats aroused one William Spaulding to action, and Schiele was replaced at short-stop by Marion Miller, who justified the change by breaking up the Valparaiso game with his timely hitting. Normal won this game from the highly-touted lndianians by a 7-5 score, after getting away to a bad start in the first two innings when Valpo scored four runs. The entire team seem- ed to come into its own in this game so far as batting was concerned. The next encounter, with the University of Detroit, ended in a 5-5 tie, and victory for Normal was denied only through a stroke of hard luck. Albion was next played on it's home field, and was treated to a genuine exhibition of first-class base ball. It was a day of revenge for Western State, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away, the score stood 8-I in its favor. ln this game Rudel Miller essayed the 'Babe Ruth act' by hitting two home-runs, while Freeman held the dismayed Albionites to two scratch hits, both obtained after the seventh inning. 214 ' --ri-vw . v-.

TRACK The successful track season of l920 marked an epoch in the history of Western Normal's athletics. For the first time in years the school was repre- sented by a well-balanced team which was a formidable opponent for any college track squad in this section. The indoor season was featured with a victory over M. A. C., while outdoors the team administered defeat to the Notre Dame Freshmen, who boasted two Olympic stars on their roster. Al- though Normal was defeated in a fast meet with DePauw, the records made by Coach Taylor's team forecasted a victory in the State Intercollegiate Track meet held at M. A. C. on May 30. ln this meet, the most important of the year, the Western Normal athletes completely out-classed all other competitors and carried away a large silver cup given for Hrst place as well as a smaller one for winning the relay race. The Brown and Gold speedsters piled up a total of 50 points, while M. A. C. came third with 20: points. The following is a summary of the meet: l00 yard dash-First, Altenburg, W. S.

Fresh.: second, Schwar, Hillsdale: 216 The outstanding feature of the i920 track season was the work done by the stellar sprinters, Altenburg and Walker, both of whom were competing for the first time in college athletics. Their splendid performances in the dual meets won them wide recognition, and they were extended invitations to enter the C. A. A. U. meet at Chicago, the Detroit Relay Carnival and the official American Olympic tryouts held at Stagg Field in June. Both men placed in the seventy yard dash at the Chicago meet, while at Detroit they tied for first. They did not fare so well at the Olympic tryouts owing to the fact that no chance was given them to get acquainted with the track while other competitors had been practicing on it for a week or more. This year the initial call for indoor practice was made in December, and a goodly number of men turned out, including many of the stars of the i920 team. Under the careful tutelage of Coach Taylor the team rounded into shape, and first tested out its strength in a dual meet with M. A. C. held in February, Normal was defeated, largely through the individual efforts of Captain Ernst ofthe Aggies, and it became evident that the team was not as well balanced as in' l920. The next encounter, held at South Bend with the Notre Dame Freshmen, also served to emphasize this fact. Normal was again defeated, although not without a desparate struggle. The performances of Hil- liard Hulscher and Henry Howe, in the shot-put and hurdles respectively, served to throw a ray of light into the gloom. Undismayed by these temporary reverses, Coach Taylor entered his stars in the Invitation Meet at M. A. C., where Hulscher placed first in the shot- put, defeating the Michigan entries, and Altenburg and Howe took seconds in the dash and hurdles, respectively. Altenburg and Walker again entered the C. A. A. U. meet at Chicago and this time Coach Taylor took his star shot- putter, Ham Hulscher, along to show him the big city. I-lulschn showed his appreciation by taking second in his event, although unavoidable circum- stances prevented him from doing his best. Altenburg again proved his class by placing second in the the seventy yard dash, the winner of the event being Murchisson, of Olympic fame. When the outdoor track season commenced, every member of the team set as his objective the annual State intercollegiate Meet held at M. A. C. the last of May. It was realized that Normal's greatest strength lay in large meets, where a sufficient number of firsts would assure it of a high place in the scoring, rather than in dual meets where seconds and thirds are of great im- portance. Three dual meets with the strongest opposition that Coach Taylor could secure, were scheduled, for the purpose of seasoning the tracksters and of giving them needed experience. 217 The first encounter was with Earlham on Normal field. The lndianians had previously defeated the University of Indiana, and were too strong in the distances and field events for Normal, which was badly defeated. The next encounter was with M. A. C., and again the visitors won, though this time Normal held a lead until the latter part of the meet, when the Aggies stepped into the lead by taking the distances and a number of the field events. Several records were broken, among them being the broad jump mark which was raised by Altenburg to 2l feet and I0 inches. Western had better luck in the final dual meet of the year, with the Notre Dame Freshmen. This struggle ended in a victory for Normal by a score of 65-5 7. George Walker dis- tinguished himself by tying Altenburg's record in the l00 yard dash and set- ting a new mark of 22 seconds flat in the 220 yard event. A feature of the track season was the increased interest taken in this activity by the student body. No team is more truly representative of the school than the track team, no group of men works and trains harder the whole year through than do the men who carry the Brown and Gold colors on the cinder path, and to them is due the strongest support that it is possible to give. Regardless whether it be in defeat or victory, Western Normal is proud of its track team, and is willing to send it forth as representative of the ideals which the students of this school stand for in clean athletics.

A club was organized which conducted a very successful tournament. However, the players were not confined to their own tournament only, but also took part in one with Kalamazoo College. Harold I-Iulscher and Edward Kline, represented Western in the lVI. A. C. tournament, and won second place for this school. Medals were purchased for the winners and runners-up in the school tournamentg also the Henderson-Ames Co. presented a silver cup to the winner of the men's singles. as follows: Edward Kline ..

THE W ASSOCIATION During the fall of l920 a club was organized by a. group of Western Normal's athletes in which all men who had won the coveted in any branch of athletics were eligible to membership. There were several reasons which gave rise to this action. The first was a realization of the increased honor of being a member of one of Western's teams which has come with the rapid advancement made by this school in the quality of its athletics. The second was a desire to draw the men of the school closer together, to promote clean athletics, and to bring into the school through the efforts of the indi- vidual members, men capable of upholding Normal's standing in athletic circles. At the first meeting officers were elected as follows: president, ,Grant Westgateg vice-president, Reed Waterman: secretary, Rudel Millerg and treasurer, George Tabraham. A committee was appointed by the new presi- dent to formulate a constitution. The committee consisted of Clarence Alten- burg, Chairman: john Gill, Harvey Freeman and Paul Bowersox. The com- mittee reported at the following meeting and the constitution as they had planned it was unanimously adopted. The efforts of the club this year have been directed toward establishing itself on a firm basis, and it is expected that in the future concrete and valuable results will be manifested in the form of better athletics and a better school spirit. 223 - e UlllIlIIIIIIlIIf'-v . mn- defea t.. . Zur GIRLS' BASKETBALL A This year Basketball retained its old4time popularity with the girls, who played it with' more enthusiasm than ever before. lVliss Guiot and Miss Spald- ing acted as coaches, and were assisted in refereeing by'Senior Physical Edu? cation girls. From the goodly number who came out to regular Saturday morning practice, it was possible to select three teams: one Senior Physical Eels, a second Junior Physical Eds, and a third from the other depart- ments of the school. The High School also had a team competing. ' ' Each of these four teams played two games.: -The series' resulted as fol- lows: A SCORES' A A ' High School .......... ...... 7 ' Senior Phys. Ed. .,,.

'2. ,,-A '2- 5 in Swimming at Western Normal is filling a deserved place in the curri- culum. The co-eds are realizing its value more and more and classes are filled to capacity. Miss Hussey and Miss Werner, assisted by the Senior Physical Education girls, have charge of this work. Swimmers are divided into three classes-A, B, and C. Those in A class must be able to swim the length of the tank using the crawl stroke in form. B class consists of those who can swim the length of the tank free style. Those in C class are called non-swimmers. One of the most stirring events of the spring term is the annual swim- ming meet. Due to the small number of Seniors who were eligible this year. it was impossible for the Juniors and Seniors to compete. Accordingly, two captains, Genevieve Meulenberg and Dorothy Miller, were elected to choose teams. Enthusiasm ran high, as both teams were evenly matched. G. Meulen- berg's team however, captured the honors with a total score of IO6 2-3 points while D. Miller's team scored 93 4-5 points. Following are the results. EVENT WINNER TIME POINTS One lap crawl G.

The score of the first game was 6-0, while that of the second was 3-2. ln' the first game the Seniors unquestionably outplayed the Juniors, but in the second game the Juniors did much better work. Indeed, the game was a real fight, and at the end of the second half the score was a tie. There was some splendid passing by both the Seniors and Juniors, particularly in the second half. In the overtime play to decide the game, the Juniors fouled in the penalty area, giving the Seniors a penalty kick, which made the score 3-2. 228 J., , . - ..,- . - ,, , ' KI-. . nk ,-Kr 'ff Nfl, ,, , ,.- is Q sw ' Lfi.- if JL, . -. gre' 'V .

Sunlight without you is reft of its gladness, Moonbeams grow faint and the stars cease to shine, List while a wanderer sings in his sadness, Sister o' mine, little sister o' mine. No love like yours hath enlivened life's story, Sister o' mine, with the bright beaming smile, Your presence oft cheers in dreams transitory, Mid strangers communing, the soul to beguile. Kindness I sought, but received not its measure, Hearts I had trusted, deceit could incline, Oh, how I long for a God-given treasure, Sister o' mine, little sister o' mine. Pals we were once in the dear days departed, Smiles softly shown in your deep hazel eyes, Greetings I gave you, full, free and light-hearted, You were the one dearest comrade I'd prize. Say, have I lost all those moments forever, You by my side and my hand clasped in thine, Your voice's music to know again never, Sister 0' mine, little sister o' mine? Hope springs eternal. The future I ponder, Then shall we meet with a kiss and a sigh, Safe home at last will my tired footsteps wander, Never I'Il pain you again with goodbye. Keep me in mem'ry your prayers while you number, Glad be the hour when your arm shall entwine Softly around me, then soothe me to slumber, Sister 0' mine, little sister 0' mine. Leo E.. F.

The High School exists for several reasons. In the first place, it provides an opportunity for one to gain an education in a model high school where the instructors are the best that can be procured and where many privileges of college students may be enjoyed, secondly, it fur- nishes a place where those Normal students who are preparing to teach in high schools may do practice-teaching under expert supervision. Some of the advantages of the Normal School which the High School enjoys are the library, laboratories, gymnasium, swimming pool, and the ath- letic field, which is one of the finest in Michigan. Other privileges are the lunch room and co-operative book store. The High School students also have the opportunity to hear many notable speakers and musicians brought here by the Normal. Unusual activity has prevailed here this year among the High School or- ganizations. In athletics, the basketball team did splendid work and was well supported by the student body. The debating team won the state cham- pionship from East Jordan, in the final debate of the series conducted by the University of Michigan. The Hi-Y, Council, Glee Club and Masquers-all have contributed to make the year one of which the students may well be proud. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES The social activities of Normal High School are varied and enjoyable. Most of the parties are held in the gymnasium. The first social function this year was a Hallowe'en Party, which is remembered for then tasty refreshments and the timely decorations. The annual Christmas Party, too, was a spirited affair. Cay trimmings of red and green cast over all the atmosphere of the Yuletide. The huge tree in the center of the room formed an ideal pivot around which the merry young people danced. Enjoyment was evident on every face. On February the l4th, a Valentine Party was given. As usual, the Gym was adorned in keeping with the occasion. However, parties are not the only means of entertainment. Every year a carnival is given to replenish the High School treasury. This occasion yields much amusement as well as profit. At the weekly assemblies, under the man- agement of student committees, interesting programs are presented. Those who have had an opportunity to enjoy these social affairs can vouch for the joviality and good-will manifested by all. 232 HERSCHEL W.

However, every effort is being ex- pended to again come to the front in these sports, and plans are under Way for the development of a splendid baseball team. Some of the teams that will appear on the spring schcdule are South Haven, Hastings, Benton Harbor, St. Joseph, Battle Creek and several others of equal caliber. 3 Plans are also being made to provide a strong football schedule for next fall. There are in the high school nearly one hundred boys from whom a good eleven may be chosen. Although the field for choice may be limited to some extent by graduation, yet enough new students will doublessly be en- rolled to make up for this loss. For those who are notable to play football, soccer ball will be continued. A very good team should be developed because of the experience acquired last year. SOCCER FOOTBALL Due to the fact that Normal High opened rather late in the fall and that no preparations had been made for equipment and schedule, it was im- possible to organize a football team this year. But rather than let the season pass without any form of activity Mr. Hyames organized a soccer ball team. A great number of the boys became enthusiastic for this sport, in fact enough came out from the various classes to make four teams. A schedule was ar- ranged, and the losers were eliminated until only two teams remained. the fluniors and Seniors. The Seniors won the last game, thus winning the cham- pionship. Mr. Hyames with the aid of Mr. Davis and Mr. English, both from New- foundland, developed a splendid team from the four class-teams. They journeyed down to Constantine and held them to a 2-0 score. Later on they played Three Rivers here and held them to a I-I score. This latter team won the county championship. This would tend to show that if Normal High gets into the game a little sooner next year, it should put out a champion- ship team. 242 IJASKIZTBALL 'I'E:XM Bolinet. Agar. McGuire. Carney. Chappell.

Normal High played an exceedingly hard schedule. It met some of the strongest opposition in the state and defeated teams which are claimed the best in the state. A total of 429 points was tallied up for the Green and White against 327 for its opponents. Much credit for the success of the past season is due to the fine coaching of Jud Hyames and to the wonderful support given the team by the student body.

As a member of the Michigan State High School Debat- ing League, the team representing Normal High succeeded in winning the championship, after having fought its way through the preliminaries and semi- finals without defeat. The subject debated was: Resolved, that the adjustment of disputes between employers and employees should be made a part of the adminis- tration of justice. Normal High upheld both aflirmative and negative sides of this question during the course of the year. Five debates were won unani- mously. South Haven, Benton Harbor, Mattawan, and Constantine were defeated in actual contest, while Dowagiac forfeited. The semi-finals with Plymouth were held at home and after a very close contest Normal High was given a 2-I decision. The finals with East Jordan took place at the Uni- versity of Michigan. Both teams did excellent work, but Normal High dis- played a superior quality of debating technique and again won by a 2-l de- cision. As a reward for its accomplishments Normal High was given a large silver cup on which the names of the debaters were engraved. The team was composed of Allen Maybee, Donald Gorham and Wini- fred Axtell, with Kathryn Williams as alternate. The splendid record made is due to their intensive work and ability, as well as to the efforts of Miss Rousseau, who acted as coach. The team received loyal support from the students in the home debates and a group of enthusiasts accompanied the de- baters on several occasions. It is the earnest wish of the team's supporters that the coming year will prove as successful as the past. 244 :J gl South Haven .. Benton Harbor DEBATING TEAM Donald Gorham, Allen Maybee, Winifred.

It was the result of the constantly increasing interest in debating activities on the part of High School students. Its purpose is to foster and maintain an interest in and knowledge of high grade debating. At the first formal meeting of the year, Mr. Cain gave a very interest- ing talk on The Value of Debating. Many very heated debates were held during the year upon such topics as the advisability of motor busses for Kal- amazoog the continuation of the commission-manager form of government in Kalamazoog and the relative merits of the open and closed shop systems. The study of parliamentary law constituted a very important part of many of the meetings. The Council has done some very helpful work in staging the debates of the state series scheduled for Kalamazoo. Members of visiting teams were met at the trains and taken care of by committees. Also, after each debate, the club has entertained the debating teams and the judges in the Students' Club Room. Since the very first year of such an organization has been successful to such a degree, the Council feels that it has the right to look forward to a very prosperous future. 246 COUNCIL Bohnet, Berry.

THE MASQUERS In l9I6 the dramatic element of the school formed a society, known as the High School Dramatic Association, later re-named The lVlasquers, whose purpose was to foster and further an interest in dramatics among the high school students. The meetings were then held at the homes of the various members. At these times current topics vitally connected with dramatics were discussed freely. As a result of the knowledge gained through these meetings, the Masquers were enabled to stage several successful plays. Among them were The Prince Chap, All of a Sudden Peggy, and several others of equal merit, all of which drew large and appreciative audiences. Tryouts to test qualifications of prospective members are held on the occasion of the second meeting of the fall term, and before determining the cast of the annual play. All those accepted as members of the club are required to obey the rules and by-laws set forth in the Constitution. Interest is always kept alive and every member does his share to make the organization a vital factor in high school activity. 248 MASQUERS Berry, Betke, Stein, Hinga, Ell, Fleck.

A. in high schools throughout the United States and in many other nations. Its ultimate purpose in all activities is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. The Normal Hi-Y Club, having met all requirements, is one of the affiliated clubs of Michigan. ' The immediate purpose of the club is to serve the school, and everything it has done this year has been done with that object in view. The club has sponsored two get-together parties in the gymnasium for the fellows of the high school, thus bringing about a closer spirit of co-operation. The club has also compiled and had printed a Student Directory and Basketball Schedule which has been a great help in the school. Wednesday evening, February the 9th, the third annual Father and Son Banquet was held at the Y. lVl. C. A. under the auspices of this organization. A fine supper, followed by an equally Fine program, was enjoyed by eighty fellows and dads. Meetings of this organization are held every Wednesday noon. At these meeting the fellows are given an opportunity to hear good speakers or to take part in lively discussions of vital life problems led by Mr. l-lyames. The Hi-Y Club stands for the four C'sg clean living, clean scholarship, clean speech and clean athletics. It stands for a closer fellowship of students, for co-operation in the advancement of the school, for a deeper and more unified school spirit-in short, for everything that tends to make Normal High School a finer, better school to work for and a school which we may at all times and places be proud to call our own. 250 HI-Y Cook, Denny, Hutchinson, Hall, Jones, F.

There are enrolled about twenty-five girls who meet twice a week under the able direction of Miss Lidcly. They have sung at all the High School debates that have been held here and also at several of the High School weekly as- semblies. One of the most interesting compositions that they have worked on is Alice in Wonderland, which the Glee Club will join the Training School in singing at the May Festival. 252 GIRL'S GLEE CLUB Frobenius, Larsen, Skinner, Peterson, Boylan, Ver Cies, Gould, Stuck, Reimens Stein, Johnson, Diller, Blakeslee, Blair, Slager, Shigley, Bigelow.

For most graduates these memories will be pleasant and inspiring, while for others they will be exactly the opposite. However, in one thing all who have come in contact with the Training School' can agree, that it is a source of valuable experience, and holds an all-important place in the life of Wetern State Normal. For this reason it is represented in the Brown and Gold. In preparing this material, the Training School has been considered from three standpoints, namely, those of the critic teacher, the practice teacher, and the pupil in the Training School who is the subject of their respective en- deavors. LEAVES FROM A SUPERVlSOR'S DIARY CWith apologies to Sam. Pepys, Sr., and Edgar Lee Mastersj June I5-This night it joyed me much to dine with my good friend, Mrs. Blake, being Betty's mother. A great brown turkey CI 5 pounds, if an ounce, served to our dinner to my great content, being what I had hoped for, though hardly expecting. Which does show the power of suggestion, I having lately drawn the picture of roast turkey so vividly in sense-training class as to make all the children's mouths water. It pleaseth me much to note how well this lesson did function, showing it to have been based on sound pedagogy, withal. June 28-To bed late last night and did, to my great inconvenience, sleep worse, I believe, than ever I slept in my life, which I do lay to my tran- scribing no less than eighteen obituaries, followed by an hour's perusal of that surprising book Spoon River Anthology by Edgar I..ee Masters. A plaguey bad it dream brought me. Ghosts looming up in the distance but holding dis- course so plain that I do remember it word for word. Somehow it lies on my conscience, and I would consider more of it but 'twere only a dream. I-Iowbeit I must here make record two of these most remarkable speeches. The first ghost I did observe to be my prize student, she who did work with such ad- mirable zeal. Thus she spake: 256 To be honest, I didn't mind dying, To have it said of me That l had the power of initiative, A mind open wide to suggestion, Was tactful, and quiet, and sweet, And would rise to any occasion- That, l say, is worth it all, All the slaving and grinding in the Training School And even death coming after, who knows, l may not have deserved all the praise. But now nobody will guess And l rest content With my notoriety. Mine was the only HA . Then out spoke one whom l did recognize as a mild, timid girl in the class: I was one of those long, lank, loose jointed girls, Who never did have any dignity. But why should l be blamed for that? l was always shy And almost afraid to raise my voice For fear the children would laugh. But when they talked, they all spoke at once And they talked all the time. So it wouldn't have mattered anyhow. That's why l trembled with fear When the supervisor came in. Oh, how little she knows of the bitterness of life To a student who tries to keep order in chaos, But then, never mind, they brought me a wreath for my grave, It is the handsomest here, But l wish l had a more credible mark than a It sets me thinking, but God knows if any good shall come of it. July 3-Today, l did give a demonstration for the class in Principles of Teaching. The greatest confluence of people in my room since l have been teaching, overflowing into all parts of the room. l must confess l was all in a twitter, but produced a most successful lesson from motivation to summary. Highly socialized and shot through with great freedom of speech and action. Teacher modestly in background, maps, globes, pictures, and children to the fore. Which methought an ideal situation. But Lord! On looking over the reports--Aim not clear! f'Twere clear enough for a babyl. Children talk, having not the permission of the supervisor and opposing their opinion to 257 her's on occasion fUnheard of boldnesslj. Organization poor and summary not well rounded. But here: questions, clear and thought proxioking, voice beautifully modulated, manner pleasing, teacher a guide, knowing when and how to offer a timely suggestion. An inspiring lesson beautifully taught. An intelligent observer, upon my word, and the only one in the whole class, and a student without doubt. But God knows, not all can have theqsame wise power of discriminationll I-Ielen IVI. Barton. PRACTICE TEACHING 'Twas the first day of teaching And her answers to question were When all through the school, simply great. Not a student was seen to cut-up or It's the most fun fool. The detailed lesson plans Were placed very near, In case the poor student, Who, trembling with fear, Might forget who discovered The world was round, If there were ounces in a yard Or feet in a pound. The children were sitting there Filled with great glee, Thinking what fun this scared teacher would be. And there sat the Critic- In her hand was a card On which she wrote Volumes, She surely worked hard. But you see, no pleasure can always last So after a long time That half-hour passed. The student staggered away out of sight Feeling as if she had been through a fight. She was greeted by victims Awaiting their fate, In the world, said she, The children are darling, They just adore me. My lesson was fine, Why, I knew every word, Discipline was splendid, Not a sound to be heard. Scared? I should say not, Why should I be? The critic wrote down pointers That she got from me. But the story was different When conference time came, Said Critic, Every child Was not in the game. The room was too noisy, The sun was too bright, The fan was shut off, And the windows closed tight. The children's positions Were extremely bad, You did not organize The work you had. But aside from these points, Your lesson was fine. Well, sobbed the student, I'll do better next time. Dorothy Miller PRACTICAL HINTS FOR PRACTICE TEACHERS Do not take the name Of the Training School in vain. The end of education Is reached through motivation. Thrice a week you must ob- SCYVC, But you'll get pointers you de- SETVC. I-lave your lesson plans on time For neglect is quite a crime. To accomplish a project Should be your main object. When supervisors criticize They merely open up your eyes. Initiative plays quite a part In getting to a Critic's heart. A socialized recitation Wins much appreciation. I-low to Study and How to Teach Should always be within your reach. In concluding I might add Practice teachings not so bad. Dorothy Miller. ' ADVANTAGES OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL Although perhaps I cannot write a very fair or impartial essay on the Training School's advantages, still, I can mention a few which would cast no reflection on the other schools of Kalamazoo. I am willing to state postively that our school, the Normal Training School, is the best in town. ln the first place, it is on a hill by itself, apart from the city, with beauti- ful wide playgrounds and an attractive setting. If I were an artist l would paint a beautiful picture of the Normal with my brush. If I were an author I would paint a beautiful word-picture with my pen of our school. But as I am neither, I can merely mention in composition form a few facts about our Normal which I know to be true. One advantage of the Normal is the fact that it is a state school. The city schools are crowded. That is not their fault, but they are obliged to admit all the children who apply, while the Training School does not, and takes only thirty in one room. Then, at the Normal, each grade has a special room of its own, and each pupil a special desk. This develops a sense of civic responsibility, as each child tries to be a good citizen, and each has a special duty. We all try to help one another, not just ourselves. Then too, we heard Cortot, and if there is an especially good program going on over in the big building our teachers take us over. We have an assembly of our own every Thursday and enjoy it very much, and always look forward to assembly day. These are,only a few of the thousand advantages of the Training School. I would advise anyone who wishes to know the rest to come to the Normal and find out for himself. Ann Elizabeth Jacobs, Seventh Grade. 259 EIGHT!-I GRADE PROJECTS Of all the work l have done this year l think I have enjoyed the making of our school magazine more than any other. Although it is only started, its success is almost certain. This work comes in connection with English. We divided our room into three classes, each group choosing its editor- in-chief. l-le in turn chose his staff which consists of a sport editor, joke editor, story editor, poem editor, and art editor. Before the editor-in-chief chose his staE we were given home work on some of the above subjects in order to bring out the talent of the pupils so the editor could see which people should take the suggested subjects. When these articles were written they were read aloud to the class which chose the best one and the chosen articles will eventually go into the class book. We have also written poems, some of which are very interesting. All the children wrote, on different subjects, some even started a nonsense alphabet, having 'each letter to suit one of the pupil's names. Some of the children wrote poems about the snow or something about the weather. All of them were original and very interesting. All the time we are doing this it is helping us. The writing of these various articles helps us in our sentence structure. The competition that it offers for having the best school magazine makes us strive to the best of our ability to have our subject matter and form as near perfect as possible. Jean Campbell, Eighth Grade, Training School. OUR TRAINING SCHOOL We have a good class of pupils that come to our school, We have assembly, gymnasium, and a nice swimming pool. Our sanitary conditions are the best to be found, We hear the musicians that come to our town. We are not over-crowded and the day goes too soon, We have training and projects in our grade room. We have the best of teachers, and they surely do try, They are under the charge of Miss Steinway's keen eye. If you want a good school and want to go straight just climb Normal Hill, its the best in the state. Clare A. Ferris, 7th Grade, Training School. 260 IDEALS AND AIMS OF PRACTICE TEACHING IN RURAL TRAINING SCI-IOOLS A great service rendered the students who practice teaching in the rural training schools is that of putting them in the school relationships with child- ren. The value of this service is increased by the fact that these relationships are established in schools with equipment and working conditions such as are reasonably possible of achievement in most of the small communities in which the student teachers will later be employed. In real rural schools the intimate associations with country children are given their full instruction value for the student teachers by the sympathetic but insistent criticisms of mature teachers. Theories academically taught, are tested, with resulting elimina- tions and additions, the vitality of professional purpose, sufficient to keep the beginning teachers from being submerged in many discouraging circumstances to which they may go, is sought. Dr. Ernest Burnham. THE SPIRIT OF OAKWOOD SCHOOL Still sits the school-house by the road A ragged beggar sunning, Around it still the surnachs grow, And blackberry vines are running. Did I hear you say this schoolhouse was a relic of the ages? Then you have not-seen the Oakwood Rural School. 'Tis true, you will not see the sumachs and the vines, but- the spirit is the same as that of Whittier's immortal schoolhouse. It is here that we, as Normal students are given the great op- portunity to observe and teach in the rural school under the excellent super- vision of Miss Otis, Miss Lamb, and Miss Kelley. If you could peek at the sand table from time to time as a supplement to the Geography work, you would begin to perceive this school spirit. I-Iere are the dikes and rivers of Holland: here the Plymouth Rock and the Pilgrim Fathers landing on our shores. A little later you can see the great wall of China and temples of the far off Japan. This same enthusiastic spirit is mani- fested in all the ,types of work in the various grades. But all work and no play would make Jack a dull boy, and when the Yuletide season rolled around the Oakwood children indeed had a festive time. After the excellent program, what joy they had around the beautiful Christmas tree with jolly old Saint Nick as a companion! Oh, the candies and the presents! Again one must pause to pay tribute to their unselfish and reverential spirit which knows how to play hard as well as work hard. We must remember that many famous leaders and statesmen of our country .received their early education in some schoolhouse by the roadside. Our boys and girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow. May we, as teachers, with whole heart and soul, follow the example so nobly set before us by the children of the Oakwood school? Then that splendid spirit shall brighten the pathway in the days that are to come, and what l say unto one, I say unto all, Let us carry on! Mildred I... Squire. 261 OAKWOOD SCHOOL Carl Moran The Oakwood School has changed much since l9l5. It was just half as large then as it is at the present time. The dimensions were about fifteen feet by thirty feet. A large stove was in the southwest corner of the only large room. The seats were facing the road. There was a cloakroom, seven by fifteen feet, in the front of the building. ln the place of the window that is now in the front of the room, was the only door, going out on a little plat- form or porch. The school was situated in the center of about a half acre of playground. At the end of summer school in I9 I 5 an addition was put. on the school. A motor and force pump were put in the basement. The water was then forced up to a fountain in the large room. A window was put in where the door used to be. The door was then placed to the left of its former place. Double doors opened into the vestibule and the outside door. The seats were turned to face the south. A furnace was put in the basement and elec- tric lights were extended in various places. In the new part was a room used for a recitation room and a library. There was also a boys' and girls' cloak- room. ln l920 an addition was put on the west side of the old building. It now holds the first, second, third, and fourth grades. The other building has the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. The playground was then ex- tended to include almost an acre. MICHIGAN AVENUE SCHOOL The Michigan Avenue School is situated about three miles out on the stone road. It is probably because of its location that it was selected as a training school for rural teachers. It is a typical one-room rural school, in a really rural community. The building was remodeled about two years ago. It now contains one large study room with a small work room. It has many of the modern con- veniences. There are eight grades in our school. A We are just one family. We enjoy our work and we enjoy our play. We all believe the country is the best place in which to live. If you doubt that we are happy come and see us.

D. lt's a pretty soft snap to edit a Brown and Gold, remarked the editors one day. All you have to do is to get a bunch of people to write your articles, and then rewrite them yourself, walk seven miles a day trying to find some one you ought to see when they are never where they ought to be when they say they will: chase all over school to borrow a typewriter, and then back again for a place -to use ity browbeat and plead with engravers and printersg implore the students to send in snapshots, get down on your hands and knees to beg the faculty for their photographs, assemble about fifty organizations to get their pictures taken fsounds simple, but try it oncelg persuade five or six hundred people that they want a copy of the thing when it is finished, and after these few things along with several others too numerous to mention are done, just go ahead and get the book ready for publication. If the engraver is slow, don't let that worry you. If the money doesn't come in, don't pull your hair outl And if you should run about a thousand bucks behind in your faithful struggle, you should give a fret! NOTHIN' T' WORRY 'BOUTHI Soft job-THIS ............. And then they started soaring, and B. Fox had to put a poultice on their feet to draw them back to earth again. NOTICE Due to the reduction in the price of food the Normal Lunch Room makes public the following rules and regulations: l. Bread will no longer be cut fifty-two slices to the deck, but will be cut in two, and the crusts will no longer run wild in a two card draw. 2. Chicken soup will not be made in compliance with the pending traffic regulations which allow but one wade through the water, but will be permitted to make a round-trip. 3. Butter will be served which will permit at least two trips of the knife to the plate. 4. Even though the Monroe Doctrine is unable to control the direction in which fish shall swim, fish will be served larger than the accompanying piece of lemon and will not be concealed beneath a spray of parsley. With a course in Blacksmithing an entrance requirement for all A. B. students, and vocational training now in vogue, in order to keep up with the times, W. S. N. S.'s annual catalogue for next year will probably contain a page like this: DEPARTMENT .OF CINEMATOMY Vamping l.

Applicants must consult Dean. General Course 166. For men. Elementary cave work, parlor and country club supermanning. Training for North Woods and God's Country parts. Required for all A. B. graduates. Manners. Elective course: not required for graduation. Making and Projecting Custard Pies. Required. Lectures and laboratory work. Fees for material. 264 TELLING 'EM ALI.. ABOUT IT The visitor climbed the last flight of steps leading up the center of the hill. Mopping his brow he remarked to a student standing near: Terrible climb-that. Yes, sir, remarked the student. We're three miles above sea level. l'd hate to climb it every day. Don't have to climb it. Of course the school is approached at all times by land, but during school times by 'Al's' Lunge, Move Slowly and Shocking rocker Electric line. You'll find it at my left. Don't forget to take it when you go down. The visitor turned round. What a beautiful view. lsn't it, said the linguistic student. One can stand on this hill over- looking the village and choose his entertainment for the evening. There's the Regent Supreme Vaucleville House which is open to all students on Sun- day eveningsg Wattle's Glen to our rear which is accessible by the lndian Trail. The Normal supports the Asia Inn and Oriental Cafe' with their mag- nificent grill rooms and cozy, private dining rooms where the service is super- ior. Since the village is supported entirely by the Normal there has developed 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. Wonderfull echoed the visitor. lt must attract a great number of ambitious students. - Oh, it does. See this young man coming on our left. There's a bright boy with a dull finish. They call him Rent because the landlord raised him. l'le's a self made man but he's never finished the job. ls that right! exclaimed the visitor . Yes, sir. He dried snow and sold it for salt. That's the way he got his start. Organized the 'Hulscher Scholarship Society' in the institution. Broke his arches down carrying his brains around. Can it be possible? Yes, sirl This is a great institution. l've seen 'em come here with a rubber collar and a tie that fastened on with a latch, and go out looking like real human beings. Now for instance, there goes a good example. See that young lady with the airedale hair cut? When she came here she looked like a little pilgrim. See what education has done for her. She's camouflaged like a war relic from Verdun. Chews seven different kinds of gum at the same time and never gets the flavors mixed. Never had a lesson in her life: but she certainly is a good judge of art. Says the shows they have at the Orpheum are great. Remarkable what culture will do for a person, isn't it? lt certainly is. Are you a student here? Who?-Me? Oh, No-o-ol l'm a member of the Physical Education Department. l've got a class now-. So long m'friend. Don't take any wooden money, but if you do l'll come back and split it with yous!

Throttling down into low. . Picking up without shifting gears. . Facial expression. 8 h i. Conversational ability. ' j. Control. 4. in the said competency test facial expression shall be rated 70 per cent. The expression on a dancer's face is not important to the dancer, but it is very hard on the on-lookers. ' 5. Every face not registering at least 2.75 per cent. of intelligence while dancing shall be thrown out and the owner barred from appearance at the dancing functions. 6. Male faces, which are rather silly to gaze upon anyhow while dancing, if considered by the board as absolutely inane, shall be ruled out, but a period of six months shall be allowed for improvements. 7. The girl who hangs her chin over her partner's shoulder and allows her face to register the expression of a dying tuna fish wigwagging distress to its mate shall not be considered as an applicant. 266 ' THE SENIOR FORD After two years of conscientious labor, this car will be ready for the market, June 20th, 1921. It or any ofits parts will be a safe investment for any superintendent. The manufacture of the car has been under the direct supervision of Mr. Ellsworth and the Dean of Women, aided by the Manual Training Department of W. S. N. S. with Mr. Tabraham and Mr.-Weaver as assistant managers. It is a wonderful car for the money, and it is expected to give good satisfaction. Specifications ' Steering Wheel4-I. Clemente.
