Since the beginning ' s of Western in 1904, a remarkable improvement has taken place in the schools of Michigan. Standards are much higher now than two decades ago and the forward movement goes on steadily. More than seven thousand alumni expect the class of 1926 to strengthen and accelerate the forward march. I am confident these expectations will be fully realized. k I ADMINISTRATION John C. Hoekje, Registrar and Director of Extension. A. B. Hope College, University of Michigan.

This class was larger than any freshman class previously enrolled at Western State Normal. Nlany members of that freshman class have left since 1922, but many of them have remained in school during the four consecutive years. As freshmen, the class held several parties during the year, but the greatest event was the freshmen party to the sophomores in the winter term. Both the omen ' s Gymnasium and the Rotunda of the Training School were beautifully decorated — the former for dancing and the latter for games. The sophomore class of 1923-1924 was the first to give a sophomore prom and to begin the custom of class rushes between the verdant freshmen and the sophisticated sophomores — a custom which the sophomore classes since that time have continued. In its junior year the class had several very enjoyable parties in the Rotunda vi ' ith dancing, music, roasts and chats around the fire place. In the winter the Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the Park-American Hotel. For the first time in the history of the school the juniors gave a J-Hop . The elaborate and carefully laid plans were crov -ned with success. The W omen ' s Gymnasium was transformed into a veritable fairy bower with dim-colored lights gleaming through streamers and drapes of lovely spring hues. Those of the junior and senior classes who were there will probably always remember the Hop as the most de- lightful social event of its kind in their college life. In accordance with the custom established some years ago for the senior class to bring to the school some notable speaker who has made recognized achieve- ments in his work, the class of this year engaged ' achel Lindsay, one of America ' s present-day leading poets, to come to Western. Ever since its organization the senior class has been fortunate in having able officers and leaders, and it is very proud of its members who have so creditably represented it in all the student activities and organizations on the campus.

Page Sixty-six Junior Class IN THE fall of 1923 we, the class of 1927, boarded the good ship, Western, which was to sail the sea of knowledge. We were then the largest freshman class that had ever come on deck at Western. We chose an efficient com- manding officer, Virginia Loomis, and under her guidance we quite gained our sea legs, learning the value of both work and play. Harold Bills, commonly called Shorty , piloted us safely through our second year, 1924-1925. By the end of that year we had become accustomed to sailing and many of our number proved themselves talented seamen. Many left the ship at the end of that year, taking with them a certificate which testified to their attainments. Only 195 of us returned in the fall of 1925. But we were undaunted by the loss of our sailing companions. We were not afraid of storms or those other things which terrorize a cowardly crew. In the beginning we took care to choose a good captain — Raynard D ' Amour. However, he soon found it necessary to leave. Thereupon Marie Rapp. second in command, took the helm and brought us safely to port. One of our number, Joy Doolittle, made the plans for our Junior-Senior Banquet. Since we had been on board for a long time, were given permission to go ashore and entertain the seniors on the evening of February 20 at the Park- American Hotel. We were so fond of sailing that we carried out the idea of the christening of a ship in our program. Ray Campbell acted as toastmaster and Mr. John Hoekje gave us an inspiring message in his address. Thou, Too, Sail On. On April 24 we had a joyous time at our J-Hop . The success of this affair was due to the efforts of Rhea Porter. Never had the ship ' s ballroom, the Women ' s Gymnasium, been more beautifully decorated. Such music, such color, such a nice crew ! In June we had to bid farewell to our ship. Western, with the solemn and sincere promise that we would return to finish our voyage in 1926-1927. I Bessie Marie Aiiams, KaJamasoo. A. B. Players. Roy C. Alia MS, ShctbyvUle. B. S.

Page Seieuly Sophot)wre Class IN SEPTEMBER 1924 a large proportion of the present class of 1928 came to Western. Their first achievement as freshmen was the defeat of the sophomores in the annual class-rush. At the fall elections of 1924 the fol- lowing officers were chosen : Burke Bartlett, president ; Genevieve Coan, vice- president ; Elsa Blair, secretary ; and Harold Havens, treasurer. The freshmen took an active part in many campus activities. In the fall of 1925 many of the class of 1928 returned to Western to be initiated into the mysteries of the second-year student life. They were successful in the class games ; they were justly proud of this accomplishment, since very few classes are able to win the laurel wreath two years in succession. The sophomores chose for themselves some very capable leaders — Theodore Hubbard, president : Julia Wilde, vice-president ; Henry Ford, secretary ; King Estes, treasurer. Among the students who distinguished themselves scholastically according to the fall term honor roll were Carl Blose, Dorothy Bonds, Hester Busman, Margaret Duiven, Marie I ' osmoe, Lenore Gifford, Norma Luxford, Herbert Reinhardt, Effie Schuster, Clara Sterling, and Esther Wilber. The sophomores were also well represented in all the major sports. Banach. Fulgoni, and Daly starred on the gridiron. Banach was elected captain of the 1926 football squad, while Schrump was chosen captain of next year ' s basketball team. Not only in scholarship and athletics did the sophomores make an excellent record, but also in debating, dr amatics, music organizations, and numerous other extra-curricular activities. Unusually successful were the social meetings of the class. On December 4 the sophomores gave the freshmen a reception, which proved to be a very pleasant party. On February 23 the sophomores held a general assembly for all students in the Women ' s Gymnasium as a pre-registration frolic. On May 8 the sopho- mores had a prom, a semi-formal dancing party. This was the. last general activity of the class before graduation. On June 21 about three hundred sophomores graduated with life-certificates. Many will teach next year, Init many will come back to form the junior class and carry on the work of the class of 1928. I m U- Page Seveiity-n i A e ' •I p- ., (t : Allan Abbott, Ilnlland.

Page One Hundred Forty Freshmen Class WE, THE class of 1929, were very easily pointed out as freshmen by the upper classmen on enrollment day last fall. ' hat it was in our manner that gave us away we shall never know. However, by the time October arrived we found our place in this institution and were ready to assume our responsibilities. On the day of the ' alparaiso-Western football game we had an opportunity to show our first class spirit in the third annual flag-rush. could tell our freshmen knights by the green paint on their faces, and our freshmen ladies by the display of green ribbon waving on the side-lines. But sad to relate, although we outnumbered the sophomores, we lost the hard-fought struggle. In the fall e lections we again showed our class spirit by casting a large vote. We were very proud of the results — Reed Dixon, president ; Vivienne Youngs, vice- president ; Bernice McHale. secretary: Harriet Parker, treasurer: Elizabeth Waldo, Clyde Jones, and Roscoe Snyder, Student Council Representatives. We can truthfull - say we have been well represented in campus activities. Xearly thirty freshmen were out for the gridiron sport, a high percentage for first year men. Some of the promising material in basketball were Roy Byrne, Allen den Blyker, George Elias, Jack Wooden, and Wayne Nestor. About twenty-five re- ported for track : Fisher starred in the clash with East Lansing. Two freshmen, Stephen Lewis and Emmet Redmond, became yell masters. Several of our class became members of debating societies. The three freshmen who made the women ' s debate squad were Helen McConnell, Glennis Lee, and Martha Hoyt. Almost one-fourth of the number on the men ' s debate squad were freshmen — Stephen Lewis, Xelson Young, Melvin Mornoe, and Darrell Ostrander. Many were interested in dramatics and become members of the Players. The first-year students in the midwinter play, Shavings ' , were Larkin Noble, Maurice Daily, and Carl Snow. Several became members of the band, the orchestra, and the glee clubs. Not least among those deserving honor were Dorothy Eccles, Anna Kieft, Helen McConnell, Norma Murray. Evelyn Wise, and Viola Sebald all of whom were on the honor roll for the fall term. On the evening of December 4 we gathered in the gymnasium at the invitation of the sophomore class. They gave us a welcome in the form of a reception and dance. In April we gave a reception to the sophomores. Those who were present at both parties considered them two of the most pleasant parties of the year. We, the class of 1929, feel that we have been wise in the selection of our leaders. We feel that we have taken a keen interest in the welfare of our school and have proved ourselves to be the right kind of nucleus for the sophomore class of next year.

Dignity is added by the presence of upper classmen on the campus. They make the freshmen and sophomores realize that there is something in addition to a life-certificate to strive for. March 29, 191R, the State lioard of Education authorized the normal schools of the state to formulate a four-year course leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. This four-year course was not to interfere in any way with the various life-certi- ficate courses. A certificate from any of these departments may be applied on the A. B. degree. Just recently requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science have been formulated. More students are enrolling each term in this course. This spring about one hundred ten seniors will receive the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degrees. Many are going out into some of the best school systems of our state. The type of position which a student receives at the end of a four-year course encotirages more students to enroll each year with the Bachelor ' s degree in mind.

At present only a two-year course, requiring a major of twenty-eight term hours and a minor of sixteen term hours is required. Within a few years this department will be lengthened to a three-year course, and eventually will be entirely assimilated by the A. B. course. But because of the flexibility of choosing majors, minors, and elec- tives, the transition to an A. B. course is easily made. Many Senior High students do enroll in the A. B. course at the beginning of their third year of school. Senior High students are prepared to teach many subjects in the high school cur- riculum. The wide leeway in choosing subjects permits well-balanced courses. For example, we find many Senior High students who are prepared to teach the following combination of subjects : science and mathematics, English and History, physics and chemistry, English and languages. Senior High students are very prominent in all the clubs and activities on the campus. Xot only are they interested in their own organization, the Senior High Club, but also take an active part in college debating, and other activities.

Better trained teachers are demanded by the advanced ideals upon which the junior high school is built. Fully realizing this situation Western organized a Junior High Department sev- eral years ago. Its curriculum is planned to prepare students to teach in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. People have come to the realization that the junior high school is the unit of transition in the public school system, and that children of the adolescent age need very good guidance. Western is trying to pre])are leaders who shall be able to guide as well as instruct. The Junior High School curriculum in Xormal requires work in psychology, education, and English, and a major and a minor subject. Besides a major and a minor two other year subjects are necessary. This is to enable the prospective Junior High teachers to teach at least four subjects, if the demand is made.

Now, Western offers a three-j-ear cur- riculum in commercial subjects, granting a life-certificate and leading to the Bachelor of Science degree. The aim of the department is to prepare stu- dents for teaching commercial subjects in public high schools. Excellent opportvm- ities for practice teaching are found in the well equipped commercial departments of the Paw Paw High School, Central High School, and Normal High School. The curriculum includes a balanced variety of subjects other than those cognate with commerce work, and the three-year certificate represents a wholesome cul- tural equipment for teaching. At present there are 125 in the department, forty-five of whom are to be grad- uated at the end of this ye ar. Many of them will join the large number of Western ' s graduates, who are teaching in commercial departments of high schools throughout the state. ADVISORS Mr. Pennell Miss Watson j?5j55is: s :ss; SE S5E3 E One Hundred Forty-five WELL trained teachers are constantly in demand for the intermediate grades which Ijridge the gap from the early elementary pupil to the junior high school pupil. It is the purpose of the Later Elementary Department of Western State Normal School to prepare students to teach in the third, fourth, fifth or sixth grades, or in any number of these grades. Courses in psychol- ogy, and education, English, art, and music are required. Three consecutive courses in some subject taught in the later elementary curriculum are also neces- sary. Students of this department receive a well balanced variety of subjects. They obtain experience in teaching in the Training School and outlying schools of Western ' s teacher-training institution. The regular work of this department is supplemented by the Later Elementary Club.

Probably its members are attracted by the fact that most graduates of this department are placed in good positions. Later Elementary students are teaching in some of the very best school systems of Michigan. Page One Hundred Forty-.

Pierce Greenman Rowley Kleist Early Eleiueutary Department THE Early Elementary Department consists of about four hundred students, who are preparing to meet the problems of the young child of the pre-school, kindergarten, and primary ages. Both professional and cultural training are included in the Early Elementary curriculum. A year of work in the depart- ment of education is devoted to child study. In this students learn to understand the physical, mental, moral-social, and emotional needs of young children. The course ofifered by the Early Education Department is planned to adapt pros- pective teachers to the needs and interests of the young child. The curriculum provides social training, training in English, story-telling, plays and games, and methods connected with the teaching of reading and literature. The education of the young child is receiving constantly more recognition as is shown by the development of nursery schools in Europe and America. Dr. Watson of Johns Hopkins University very ably expresses, the need of well- trained Early Elementary teachers : T do wish to decry the tendency in our Page One Hundred Forty-eight Wingeier Gage Enderle Yermilyea Rogers Morden Rowley Blakeslee Shearman Crall Jnnkman Van Tilburg Raymer Weeks Todd Loop Packard Omness Fairbairn Morlcy Pendleton Pierce Slautel Van Amburg Davis Ranney McConnell Moon Dowsett Gould Robinson Boylon Albin Roth Pickett Henderson Salm Peterson Lunev Erb Schanz ' .3, American schools to think that any teacher is good enough to teach young chil- dren. In so far as I have learned anything from my work on infants and very young children I should say that it shows, first, that parents, and second, that the early grade teachers, equally, must share the responsibility for making or marring the emotional life of the average child. We must secure exceptional teachers for these early grades. If modern conditions would permit it. we should like to see these early grades given over to genuine students of child psychology. If the early grades were manned by these highly trained specialists, we could be sure that many of the mishaps to the emotions due to home training coulci be cor- rected, and we could certainly be sure that from the entrance into the school sys- tem of our countrv no further mi.stake would occur.

Department of Rural Education of Western State Xornial School, a pioneer in its field, prepares students to meet the special prohlems of rural school teaching. The educational needs of rural communities have been slighted in the past, and there are now great opportunities in Rural Education for a peculiarly satisfying kind of service. The department wishes to supply country children with schools and teachers ' as good as those which city children enjoy. In addition to one and two year training courses there are now special courses open for third and fourth year students who are interested in this field of educa- tion. The Rural Education curriculum provides students with theoretical and practical instruction, and provocative contact with the newer needs of country communities.

The annual Rural Progress Day brings the Rural Education students in contact witli national and state leaders in rural work. Dr. Ernest ISurnham has acted as director of the Department of Riu-al I-Lducation for twenty-two years. He has served in this ca])acity very efficiently and has now obtained a national reputation for his work in rural education. The success of the Collegiate Country Life Club and of Rural Progress Day are due in great measure to him. Ifc ife Page 0::c Hundred Fif ' y-one Hale Trimpe Leedham Woodard Gebby He C. Carpenter N.

Since the erection of the Manual Arts Building, in which we find an auto shop, an e ' ementary benchwork room, a soft metal foundry, a forge shop, and many shops of various sorts, the students in this de- partment have been obtaining better training — a training which is valuable to those who are planning to teach in the public schools. This department offers not only a regular two-year life certificate course, but also excellent third year work and a fourth-year course, at the completion of which the Bachelor of Science degree is granted. Since the department realizes that the world demands men of efficiency, it has planned its course to develop this much desired quality. The Manual Art-. Department may be called a lalwratory in which the keenest thought and individuality of its students a re recorded in the moulding of inanimate objects into things of beauty and service.

The specific aim of the Home Economics course is the preparation of students for teaching Home Economics. The general aim is the development in the students of a desire to apply the principles of right living to their own lives, the application of which will lead to better standards of health and home life. In the last few years interest in the newer technique of home making has in- creased. When the Home Economics Department was first organized in this school, it consisted only of classes in cooking and sewing; now the work of the department includes all phases of the home, such as, home management, home furnishing, and home nursing. Beginning with the fall term of 1925 we ex- tended the course to three years. We plan to have a four-year course to ofifer, as soon as we can obtain more equipment and a larger Home Economics faculty.

The curriculum of this department is well planned. Work in psychology and education and in English is required of all Music students. Those who expect to supervise music take a course in methods. In the first term methods of teaching music in the primary grades are discussed, in the second term methods in the intermediate grades and in the third term methods in the junior and senior high schools and also chorus conducting. In addition to the routine work of this department there are innumerable oppor- tunities for real musicians to show their talents. These include the Varsity Girls ' Glee Club, the Men ' s Glee Club, the Orchestra, the Band, and the ]Music Study Club. The Art Department of Western offers an excellent course to those artistically inclined. The curriculum affords a balanced variety of subjects. The well equipped four rooms at the barracks are splendid work shops for Art Students. A majority of students in this department belong to the Art Club. Although many students are enrolled in each course, there are some who follow a combined curriculum of Ijoth Art and Music.

Only fifteen men were enrolled in the special course at that time. At the beginning of the fall term 1925 a three-year course was required of all men enrolled in the Physical Education Department. Previous to this time only a two-year course was required for a life certificate. INIany men, however, are tak- ing a four-year course in Physical Education. Sexeral men will graduate this year with a degree. This department endeavors to prepare men to lead groups of boys and men and to coach teams in puljlic schools. Our coaching staff is very well qualified to make leaders of the men of our Physical Education Department and to instill in them the principles of true sportsmanship. Our new gymnasium has made possiljle the enlargement and improvement of this department. Xew classrooms and equipment for all kinds of sport have encour- aged more students to enroll in the Physical Education Department. Demands are constantly made for teachers of physical education, since its importance is realized more every day.

Page One Hundred Fifty-six  !■ Jrfc bb kfc fc Vlto History WI- STERX State Xormal School is twenty-two years old. Twenty-two years ago this siuiinier the State Board of Education of Michigan, author- ized by the state to establish a fourth normal school, chose for the site a barren hilltop covered with a pear orchard, overlooking the city of Kalamazoo. ' ith even greater foresight it chose as architect of the school, which was to rise on those heights. Dwight B. Waldo, who had been Principal of the State Normal at Marquette since its establishment in 1899. One wonders whether, even in its confidence, the Board which gave us President Waldo envisaged how great his accomplishments would be. At the time of Western ' s twentieth anniversary two years ago Dr. William McCracken paid tribute to the work of President Waldo in the following words : •;. U ' . z - • .% ' The pear orchard from Wahiut Struct, 1V()4 Page One Hundred Sixty The first building on the Hilltop, 1905 Twenty years ago a man, a vision, and a hillside — no building, no students, no faculty. Today the same man. but with greater insight and more ample powers and with a judgment more acute and stronger by experience ; the same vision, but larger, more amplitied, and more definite ; the same hillside, but now crowned with stately buildings which also extend beyond the confines of the pear orchard of twenty years ago. Out of that pear orchard rose, one by one, three stately buildings. In the begin- ning 117 students met in rented quarters — the old high school and the old Kala- mazoo College building. There were only twenty acres in the original campus site, which faced east sixty rods on Davis Street and had the irregular contour of Oakland Drive on the west. Only President Waldo and a few of his en- thusiastic co-workers remember those days. Two of our present faculty were among those associated with Mr. Waldo that first fall of 1904 : Dr. Ernest Burnham and Professor L. H. Wood. Where in the summer of 1904 there were 117 students enrolled, in the summer of 1925 there were 1909 in residence and Page One Hundred Sixty-one As Western looked in 1907 89 in oft tlie campus classes. And where that first fall term there were 107 enrolled, in the fall of 1925 there were 2,235. Naturally, buildings large enough to be called stately had to be built in rather rapid succession. By the time Dr. William McCracken came in 1907-1908 the first of these three buildings with its portico of white pillars had arisen on the brow of the hill. It was the Administration Building. Before his first year was completed another like the first, the (gymnasium, had taken its place beside it, making when incor- porated with it our present imposing main building. When Professor George Sprau began his work in 1909 there were three porticos cutting their profiles against the sky. The Training School had been added. And so many were the students climbing the hill to these handsome new quarters that the electric railway was built and put into operation. The rest of the buildings followed at intervals of only two or three years, scarcely fast enough to meet the need. With the erection of the Science Building in 1914 the hill began to attain something like its present population and looked very One Hundred Sixty-two much a college. And indeed by this time it was a college. The faculty had been greatly augmented and several of the special curricula had been instituted. A special building for Afanual Arts work was added soon after. Then came the war and the S. A. T. C. interregnum. The Barracks are still in use — a souvenir of those days. A nobler sort of memorial of the willing service of Western State Xormal students to their nation was the enlistment of 305 young men, some of them alumni, twelve of whom made the great sacrifice. The last few years, since our recovery from the war. have seen the greatest changes. We count our students in four figures and our faculty in three. The greatest of our needs, a new Library, adequate to our future, has been mag- nificently met, and has been in use since 1924. The Men ' s Gymnasium is now an actuality. We are beginning to breathe the air of a new day. In standards of scholarship, in standings of curricular requirements, in standards of instruc- tion we have reached maturit} ' . ' e have not passed our twenty-first birthday for nothing. Page One Hundred Si.vty-tlir t And the end is certainly not yet. Every one knows the new kind of growth which builds on maturity. Dr. McCracken has wisely said of him who has led us thus far: Keen-eyed he is, taking the long look forward, seeing visions, but not visionary. As time passes he will add to his work. His task is not yet finished. To him it is a living, growing thing which still needs much to round the plan he clearly visions. The plan grows, too, and is always far ahead of the actual accomplishments. Time and financial support are the factors necessary to its full realization.

The duties of the board are advisory in nature and do not cover financial matters except in cases of policy. There are no regular meetings. Although the present 1)oard lias been in actual session only a few hours, it has transacted all necessary business with dispatch and accuracy, and has not been rent with strife or individualism. The intra-mural debates went off smoothly and showed the increasing interest of the school in this annual classic.

Not only have more men lieen given an opportunity to display their platform skill than ever Ijefore. liut the schedule has been the most extensive ever carried out. From the eighteen men chosen on the varsity squad, in this our fifth year of intercollegiate debating, fourteen men have participated in debates. Perhaps the most significant event occurred during the fall term when Western engaged in her first international debate against Cambridge University on the prohibition question. A record crowd of 1,700 witnessed the debate. The season has provided a variety of questions. In the state League debates the question of Russian recognition was used. While in the Tri-State Normal Triangle, Child Labor formed the basis of discussion. Three questions in- stead of the customary one, have provided the squad with plenty of work. Near the close of the winter term four of the varsity debate squad accompanied by Coach Lahman left on a twenty-six day trip to the west. During the trip they debated thirteen colleges in six states. Relationships have been established with several new high calibre schools. Among others are Carleton College and the State College of Washington. Considered in all its aspects, the season has been a most satisfactory one. Much of the success of the season can be attributed to the thorovigh training the men received from Coach Carroll P. Lahman. Page One Hundred Eighty-three Alurpliy Lloyd IV-ckcr I ' c .

Western — Negative UXDOUBTEDLY the most outstanding event of Western ' s five-year for- ensic history was the debate with the team from Cambridge University of England on November 10. On their tour Messrs. Ramsey, Devlin, and Lloyd visited some of the largest universities of the middle west. They met only three teacher-training colleges, one of which was Western. In preparation for this debate a squad of nine men was chosen. Besides the men finally chosen to constitute the team, the squad consisted of Elton Cole, Troy Clawson, James McMonagle, Louis Reeverts, Nelson Young, and Donald Mur- phy (alternate on the final team). In the debate Western was represented by Albert Becker, Edward Jennings, and Arthur Secord. The debate was held in the Masonic Temple. Interest in the question and the unusual nature of the debate drew a crowd of about 1,700 people, which in- cluded many townspeople and about 200 high school students and coaches from places within a radius of fifty miles. The Brown and Gold team met the Cambridge men with their own style of debat- ing. Each man talked as long as he had anything worthwhile to say. Construc- tive and rebuttal speeches were in the main combined. There were no judges except the audience. Despite the fact that the Englishmen had an advantage from their training in the Cambridge Union and their participation in practical politics, it was agreed that their suavity and wit were well matched by Western ' s trio.

They left March 14 and arrived home April 8. They had travelled 3,400 miles, had debated thirteen colleges in six states, and had attended as guests the forensic convention of Pi Kappa Delta at Estes Park, Colorado. The question used in all the debates was that of adopting a child labor amendment. Each man debated both sides of the question, and each was in a two-man team in addition to the usual three-member line-up. Young participated in eight debates, Becker and . ' ecord in nine each, and Jennings in eleven. SUMMARY March 15 W. 111.

Dr. William McCracken presided in his own inimitable way.

Western ' s team was made of Nelson Young, Edward Jennings, and Thomas Brown. Professor D. C. Shilling, a former member of the Monmouth faculty, presided. The judging arrangements were an innovation. Five local faculty members acted as judges at Kalamazoo and the same procedure was followed at Monmouth. The judges here were Harold Blair, Ralph Boyd, L. E.

This organization, formed in the winter term of 1923, has steadily grown in numbers and influence. The Greek letters of its name, Delta Rho, signify the line art of persuasion : and the motto of the organization de- clares that Oratory is power. The purpose and aim of Delta Rho. then, is to promote interest and activity in public speaking of all kinds, and especially in de- bating. Only those members of Western ' s varsity debate squads who have taken part in at least one intercollegiate debate are eligible for membership in this or- ganization. In the spring of 1925 eleven of Western ' s debaters for that year were elected to membership in Delta Rho. After a week of strenuous initiation on tlie campus, there followed an initiation banquet at Gull Lake when the new members were finallv and fully admitted into the mysteries of Western ' s exclusive forensic so- ciety. The banquet was followed by a program consisting of unique toasts from an alumna, two initiates, one of the varsity debate coaches, and the president of Delta Rho. The officers were elected for the coming vear as follows : president, Elton Cole; vice-president, Marie Rapp : secretary-treasurer. Donald lurphy; and corresponding secretary, Ollie llackus. A solemn initiation ceremony fol- lowed. In the fall of 1925 a group of active and alumni members met at the Mandarin Inn in liattle Creek for a reunion banquet, and enjoyed a pleasant evening together. The organization, as usual, thi s spring, will elect new members from the men ' s and women ' s varsity debate squads. As the fifth year of debating for Western State, crowned by a debate trip of several hundred miles, this year is an especially triumphant one for Delta Rho. It is the ho])e of the organization eventually to be granted a chapter in Delta Sigma Rho. national honorary forensic fraternity, as a residt of Western ' s splendid debating recort Page One Hundred Ninety-a Co e,Prfs.

As a result the four debating societies participate each year in a series of debates to decide the possession of this cup. This year the forensic organizations again had a series of intramural debates to decide to whom the Lawyer ' s cup would belong. The Forum defeated the Trilninal in the men ' s preliminary contest, and the Senate defeated the Academy in the women ' s preliminary contest. The question debated on was, Resolved that the projjosed Child Labor amendment should be adopted. The Senate met the Lorum in a final debate and defeated the men ' s team. This victory gave the Senate possession of the Lawyer ' s trophy for the second, time — a. distinction which nil other organization has claimed.

This organization aims to continue the work of the former girls ' glee clubs by developing and maintaining a high standard of music at Western. The club has an unusual amount of talent ; many of its members have appeared in groups, and as soloists on several occasions. The club is justly proud of its quartet, which was organized at the beginning of the winter term of 1926, with Mrs. Dorothea Sage Snyder as director. The personnel of the quartet was Adelia Case, Esther Wilber, Evelyn Witte, Joy Doolittle, with Lorraine Sattler as accom- panist. ••? -t. t; aB.:j}j£ii: i.

Considerable interest has been aroused concerning the state glee club contest to be held at Detroit May 7, and intense work on the contest numbers has been done. The Varsity Girls ' Glee Club has made many public appearances : it has sung for assembly programs, and for several clubs in Kalamazoo, the Kiwanis Club, the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, and the Exchange Club.

It made its annual spring trip through western Michigan and in addition took a midwinter tour to Detroit and nearby cities in the eastern part of the state. Several individual concerts were gi en nearer Kalamazoo and a second trip to Detroit was made at the time of the state intercollegiate glee club contest in May. The club ' s audiences this year were most en- thusiastic. As last year two dancers from the Women ' s Physical Education Department — Alma Wingier and Audrey Browne — accom- lanied the club on its trips and took part in its programs. The club also included an eight- iece orchestra. Three faculty members made the three trips with the club — Mr. Maybee, director, Mr. Amos, instrumental director, and Miss Mullen, (lance director. The Glee Club considers itself fortunate in having Mr. Maybee as its director, and it is chiefly due to his teaching and his high standards for glee club work that the club has been so successful. ( )fficers of the club were Sam Wagner, presi- dent ; John Null, secretary ; Romane Barnard, manager ; Edward Klock, , routing manager ; Rexford Clark, stage manager: Milo Pomeroy, advertising manager; George Perry, student ader. i| ' § rJ.: , ::J 7 4 i ;gt :£4IiJ Page Two Hundred Two r isiiJiiiESi; v i Gr.KK ( MT.

The membership has averaged about thirty and has included some very fine musicians Several new instruments have been added this year. The Orchestra has appeared in concert on several occa- sions ; it furnished the music for the Rural Progress Day Pageant and appeared in assembly a number of times, and has come to hold a valued place among extra- curricular activities. The Orchestra is only one of the man ' musical organizations which ] Ir. George Amos has so efficiently directed. The success of this year ' s band is due in great measure to him. Bands and orchestras of the outlying schools have also been under his capable leadership. 5 ' IF l! a|!l ' ==i! j Page Two Hundred Fou Ci) Baud WESTERX ' S Band has at last reached its goal — that of becoming a per- manent organization. In four short years it has risen from a small music- ally inclined group to a splendid aggregation of forty fully equipped and uniformed men. The band has appeared at all the football, basketball, and base- ball games, and at several musical assemblies. The band met with instant approval on the basketball team ' s trip to Michigan State College ; this was the band ' s first long trip. It rehearses twice a week under the supervision of Director George E. Amos. Plans are made to increase the per- sonnel to at least sixty men, with a waiting list composed of a junior or second band.

Amos, Director Page Two Hundred Five The Players THE past year has been most successful for the West-ern Normal Players. Following the precedent of other years they have succeeded in giving gen- uinely finished amateur performance. Frederick Harrington has been an unusually inspiring leader for the past two ears. His incessant labor lias been largely responsible for the achievements of the Club. On February 19 the Flavers presented their annual widwinter play at the Central High Scliool Au litorium. This was the eleventh midwinter play given by this dramatic club. It has been generally agreed that Shavings viras the finest pro- duction the club has ever presented. Miss Shaw was the invisible force behind the entire plav and certainlv deserved much credit for her fine direction. Under her guidance it was moulded into an artistic production. Those who saw the play were very much pleased with the art work. Miss Siedschlag certainly did some marvelous work as art director. The various com- mittee chairmen — Henry Ford, Mary Cavanaugh, Frances Little, and Julia Joy — worked untiringly to make the play a success. In ] Iay. a musical comedy was given in the Administration I ' .uilding. Such merriment, such dancing, and such wit one had never seen before! It was a finished production and very well-liked by the audience. During the year many one-act plays were given by members of the club. Ex- cellent programs were presented at the bi-monthly meetings and every member contributed to the success of the larger plays. It is impossible to praise the work done by the various committees : they were one of the most important factors in the success of the Plavers. MEMBERS Campbell, I ' icc-Pres. Harrington, Prcs.

Lincoln, was presented on the evening of Feb- ruary 19 at the Central High School Auditorium. In playing the title role Earl English showed remarkable ability by weaving into his characterization of Jed Winslow strands of common sense, whimsicality, and self-sacrificing love. As the young widow, Doris Cogswell achieved the dignity and charm of maturity. Alice Jardine, as her daughter, was thoroughly a natural child. Ruth Lossing was uKJst beautiful and sincere as the viUage belle, while Larkin Noble, as the lover of the piece, proved quite worthy of her ardor. Carl Snow, as Gabe. the village gossip, and Max Bricker as I ' hin Babbit, the tnwn crank, did remarkable work in their Cape Cod character studies. Maurice Daily ' s interpretation of the ex-convict was good, while Bernard Little as Captain Hunniwell blu ' -tered and boomed himself into the hearts of the audience. Rav Campbell seemed to fill the uniform (if Major Grover, although he did not seem to have passed many nights in the muck and mire of France. Henry Ford as the rapid fire efficiency salesman was a wow : he sold evervthing from a rehearsal to the entire play.

Page Two Hundred Ten Frivolities of 1926 MUSICAL and entertaining was Frivolities , the spring revue of the Play- ers. They gave this beautiful evening ' s entertainment gratis to the stu- dent body in appreciation of its excellent support of Shavings , the midwinter play. With a few snappy steps and a song the Slicker Chorus opened the perform- ance; Ruth Burgan was the shining light of the act. The chorus was composed of the best singers that ever pulled on a galosh or slipped out of a yellow slicker. The heavy end of the chorus was held down by Lynn A ' oke, ' irgil Logan, Maurice Dailey, and Larkin Noble; the more beautiful end was composed of Betty Waldo, Harriet Parker, Mrginia Fouch, and Marion Voke. Dortha Kerr and Mary Van Heulan did some very clever acting in the one-act play, Square Pegs , and were followed closely by Auntie , a sketch presented by the Normal High Mas- quers. Sing sing and sing again was the phrase that typified the chain walk and the prison songs that the Convict quartet rendered. The heavy end of the slicker chorus were the inmates of the quartet and they sang some delightfully sweet songs. The red hot old time Charleston was given under a mask by Julia Joy, who immediately won her audience by her characterization. Mary Cavanaugh gave a beautiful interpretative dance which accentuated her grace and ability. The little girls, Marion Van Heulan, Dortha Kerr, Helen Feney, Alice Jardine, and Bernice Berry were very good ; they outgrew their parts and came near the professional. Max and Louis Bricker, and Carl Snow wisecracked their way through a farce that took the place by storm. They excelled in every depart- ment of dumbness, wistfulness, and tragedy. Not enough can be said of the work of Max Bricker who has been a high light in the club for three years. IMiss Show directed, Frederick Harrington organized, and Ray Campbell man- aged the performance. i Iuch credit is due to those who did committee work and helped stage the revue. By giving this spring revue the Players opened up a new field and found an abundance of material for this type of thing. Working from this excellent be- ginning the Players will give a revue during the spring term of each school year. With experience they will be able to give Western a true musical comedy. It is a thing to be fostered and the club deserves the hearty support of every Normalite. liT Page Two Hundred Eleve I Page Two Hundred Tweiv « r i. 1 r i i -n- ' - -: f - 1 ■ V if ' - ' d Page Two Hundred Thirteen Art Club ' 1 SINCE the Art Club comprises all the people in the Art Department, the ac- tivities of the one are those of the other. Therefore, the best way for us to come to know the work of the Art Club is to visit the Art Department in its spacious four rooms at the Barracks. Here there is a variety of activity, an order- ly disorder characteristic of the department. In one room we find students designing plates for the Brown and Gold, binding books, embroidering samplers, and making dresses. In the next room still other students are working on the scenery for the midwinter play — sea gulls, windmills, the sailor Noah, the prophet Isaiah. In a part of one of the rooms we see proof of the fact that many people believe it pays to advertise ; students are making post- ers — posters for the midwinter play, posters for the Brown and Gold campaign, posters for the Alen ' s Glee Club concert, and posters for those many other events that fill a college year. In the hall sitting at a table in a most business-like manner we see the Art Club treasurer endeavoring to collect the unpopular, yet necessary dues. Just as we are about to open the door to peek into the cozy little club room, we are politely asked to keep out for a reason we do not understand. Exhibiting a true Sherlock Holmes spirit we discover that the cleverest Art girls are making a movie for the purpose of entertaining their sister artists at one of the novel parties they have planned for this year. Since we are unable to gain any more information concer- ning this movie, we decide to bid farewell to the department. We are impressed ! We understand now how interesting and valuable to the f -hool are the activ ' iies of this disorderly crowd. MEMBERS Appeldoorx, Prcs. Mulvany, I ' icc-Prcs. Patterso.N ' , Sec. Severance, Trcas.

UCH that is memorable of a college year occurs on the gridiron, on the ., basketball floor, on the baseball diamond, on the tennis court. In addi- -- . tion to athletic endeavors every college has other forms of extra-curricular activities. Not only is a college judged by its high standard of scholarshi]-) and athletic feats but also by its forensic ability, its dramatic skill, its musical attain- - ments, its scientific accomplishments. J Western has a great number of organizations, many of which really enrich the school life. The various musical organizations of this school possess some real ability. Normal has four debating societies, each of which has an enviable record. fjj Drama has not been neglected in this institution ; Western has a well organized i group of enthusiastic actors. Scientific pursuits are well taken care of by some students especially interested in the dexelopment of modern science. Many de- M partments have organized clubs in order that its members may keep pace with m educational movements in various phases of education. % M The criticism has often been made that Western has too many clubs. Perhaps this is true, but when one stops to consider the type of a college Normal is, one Jy .(J, ought to feel that most of these organizations have a place on this campus.

The Herald has helped to create a genuine school spirit by interesting students in those necessary activities which are said to make true group spirit. Due to the efiforts of Nliss Blanche Draper, editor, and Frederick Harrington, student editor, the Herald of this year does not suffer when compared with those of former years. Not only has he ably organized the work for his associates, but he has also proved his remarkable literary ability. Each staff member has made important contributions to the paper.

I Student Association THE Student Council is the governing board of the Student Association, the organization of the entire student body. The Council organized in 1921 is cnmparatively new. Before that time the student body functioned only through the Booster Committee, consisting of members or representatives from all organizations, but having no power or legal status. Since this committee had no power, a constitution, which provided for the present Student Council, was drawn up and adopted. This Council was to consist of its four officers, president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, three representatives from each class, the four class presidents, the editor-in-chief of the Brown and Gold, student editor of the Herald, a debate manager, and a music manager. Since that time pro- vision has been made for the school auditor to become a member. The primary aim of the .Student Council is to de elop a unified and a business- like system of participation in academic organizations. The duties and responsi- bilities of the Covmcil have increased pari passu with the growth of the student body. Among the many projects of the Council for this year were its support to the Men ' s Clee Clul) tour, its support to the Western tour for men debaters, and its support to the orchestra and band. In many ways this council will make for itself a place among the former councils of this school. It will long he remem- bered for the new Council office, the student song books, and the freshmen handbooks. Many policies adopted by the se eral Councils are tending to become more or less traditional. They have laid the foundations of a real college spirit bv the adoption of these policies.

They want a book which they can show their acquaintances back home and to which they can point with pride as an annual of their Alma Mater. Many of these students do not realize how an annual staff is chosen or how it functions. Little do they realize that the staff keeps long hours from the tim , schools opens in September until the following June, and that it has to settle -i many problems concerning art work, introduction of new sections, mounting of :- pictures, and other matters which seem of trivial importance to one idly turning ?,; the pages of an annual. := ' - The students of Western desire a memory book as do students of other colleges.

It was incorpor- ated in 1913 and it was reorganized in 19K ' , at which time it hecame a permanent institution under the leadership of Dean Davis. The purpose of the League is to unify the life of the women of the school. The officers and council are chosen from the general student l)ody, each member rep- resenting one academic department. With this hoard sit the Dean cif ' (imen and two faculty advisors. Every week council meetings are held, in which vari- ous problems pertaining to school life are discussed. This year the council has promoted a number of successful social gatherings. A Masquerade Party for the women of the school was the first important event in the fall term. Several prizes were given : the first to the cleverest group, the second to the most original couple, and the third to the prettiest individual. All participants heartily agreed that it was a splendid success. The Heart and Dart Party, given on February 13 for both men and women, was on a leap year plan. The entire gymnasium trimmed with white crepe paper and colored hearts resembled a huge valentine. As in previous years the Sophomore Girl ' s Breakfast, which occurred in the spring term, ])r(j ed to be a unicjue and memorable event. Sunday afternoon teas in honor of the women faculty members, the wives of the faculty, and the women of the school were innovations instituted by the League. Matinee dances, given between the hours of four and six, were also new features of the League ' s activities. This year ' s board accomplished one of its aims by presenting the W ' omen ' s Club Room with a Sohmer grand piano. Page Two Hundred Twenty-four COUNCIL Nicholson, Prcs. McKeiizie. J ' icc-Prcs.

Four groups — mathematics, biology, physics, and chemistry — were organized this year. Each one has carried on experiments and group discussions under the leadership of a student director. In memory of Dr. Lero ' Harvey, our founder, chief advisor and source of en- couragement, we have within the last year placed a bronze tablet in the hall of the Science building. The fund for the Harvey Memorial was started during the winter of 1923. One of our highest aims this year has been to increase the Harvey Scholarship Fund. We have added substantial amounts throughout the year by sandwich and Eskimo Pie sales. This year we aided the Faculty Science Club in compiling a directory of science and mathematics teachers of southwestern Michigan. This was for the purpose of getting in touch with those who are interested in the annual meeting of the Southwestern Michigan Science and Mathematics Association which is held at Western State Normal in the spring of each year. We have also compiled a di- rectory of our own alumni. We always wait with eagerness for the addresses which are given every two weeks. Some of the instructive talks given this year were The Outlook for Science, Mr. Fox; The Biology Tour in Northern Michigan, Dr. Kenoyer; The Chemistry of Michigan, Dr. McCracken; Science and War, Mr. Wise- man ; A Serious Inquiry into the Psychology of Laughter, Dr. Rogers ; Science and Religion, Mr. Blair; Why Doesn ' t Time Flow Backwards? Mr. Ackley; Radio Waves, Mr. Marburger ; Chemical Chop Suey, Mr. Eldridge. Each year we bring some noted scientist to Western to give a lecture. This year on March 4, Dr. Henry C. Cowles, head of the department of Botany at the uni- versity of Chicago, presented an illustrated lecture — Biology in Boundary Dis- putes . Those who attended were well pleased not only with the speech of the evening but also with the personality of Dr. Cowles. After the lecture we had a reception for him to which we invited the Faculty Science Club members and their wives and all those desirous of meeting Dr. Cowles. In addition to an occasional party during the year we have a Student and Faculty Science Club picnic or banquet every spring. We hear whispering that it will be unusually good this year.

Through formal debating and through social activities the Senate has promoted interest in questions of national and community importance, and has developed among its members a spirit of friendliness toward others and of enthusiasm in school affairs. One of the great events in the history of the .Senate occurred in the fall term of 1925 when it co-operated with the Academy in the adoption of a new pledge system for the selection and admission of new members. ] Iembers are chosen on a basis of high scholarship, faculty recognition, interest and ability in debat- and, and personality. Perhaps the achievement which added most to this year ' s Senate glory was the winning of the Lawyer ' s Cup in the intramural debates by defeating the Academy and Forum. The Senate team was composed of Gaynell Barron. Lorraine Sattler, and Elsa Blair. To the Senate also goes the honor of being awarded the first prize in the midwinter play ticket-selling contest and of having its president awarded the first prize for the individual who sold the most tickets. The Senate was represented in the intercollegiate debating teams, and supported debates by attending them in a body. Various social ftmctions took place during the school year, the most important of which were a Christmas tea to which were invited all women of the school who were interested in debating, a bridge party, a Fun Fest which was given by the four forensic societies, a weenie roast, a sleighride party, and the annual spring alumni banquet. The Senate always looks forward to the spring, when the annual house party occurs. The society was unusually fortunate this year in having the offer of the Knight ' s three cottages at Fine Lake. The house party is one of the events which concludes a year of pleasure, and of work toward the highest good of the Senate and the School . MEMBERS Little, Pres. Cohn, Vice-Pres.

Page Two Hundred Thirty-three Tribunal THE Tribunal was organized in October 1920 to alTord men of the school a better opportunity for debating, public speaking, and parliamentary prac- tice. While adhering closely to these objects a valuable spirit of fellowship and loyalty among members has been developed. High standards of scholarship and forensic endeavors have carried the Tribunal through another successful year. The sponsor pledge system of admitting new members has been definitely established, since its operation during this year has proven its worth. It has always been the aim of the Tribunal to encourage co- operation and friendship among the several debating societies of the school. With this aim in view the policy of entertaining the other societies at a party each year has been adopted. In the five years of Western ' s debating experience Tribunal men have played an important role. Once more the men ' s varsity debate squad was composed of a goodly percentage of Tribunal men. The intramural debate team was composed of Gordon Lamphere, Roland Robinson and Henry Ford. While these men only succeeded in convincing one judge that Child Labor amendment should not be adopted, they put up an interesting discussion. In the last analysis, the greatest lasting achievement of tlie Tribunal in this year as in previous years has been to unify its members in a common aim and to develop sincere and lasting friendships which make it impossible to forget the Tribunal and their Alma Mater.

A tea was given just before Christmas vacation for all girls interested in debating. It proved an enjoyable event, and afforded an opportunity to get acquainted with new girls who were interested in forensic activities. One of the important events of the fall term was the debate with the Senate in the intramural series, in which the Academy lost. The team consisted of Edna Dodge, Bernadine Gavin, and Katherine Eoy. The Academy was proud of its representation on the Varsity debate squad of this year — JuHa Wilde, Katherine Foy, Percis Dykstra, Mabel Miller, Clare Bullen, PauHne Renne, Helen Mc- Connell, and Martha Hoyt. With the other three debating societies the Academy helped to put on the Fun Fest in the middle of the winter term. It is an annual event in the nature of a carnival, the proceeds of which are used to increase the debate loan fund. The Academy presented as part of the program an original play, entitled It Pays to Advertise. The Academy continued its weekly Letter-Box in the Herald this year. Through these letters the alumnae are kept in touch with the active organization. They are very interesting, not only to Academy members, but to everyone who reads the paper. One of the things that lingered longest in the memory of every Academite was the annual house party held the latter part of the spring term. At Gull Lake ideal weather, canoeing, music, dancing, swimming, roasts, boat excursions, and the presence of many alumnae made the occasion most delightful. The social calendar for the year was closed by the Academy luncheon, given the last week of school at the Columbia Hotel. It was a reunion of all old and new Academites, at which reminiscences of the past and plans for the future shared in importance. MEMBERS Dykstra, Vice-Prcs. Harvey, Trcas. Thomas, Pres. Daken, Sec.

Two Hundred Thirty-seven o Classical Club NK of llie oldest literary organizations of Western is the Classical Club, whose members are students of Latin and vhose associate members are students of mythology and Greek and Roman History. The aim of the club is to present programs which are of mterest to students of Latin and which supplement the class work. This is accomplished by means of reports, talks, and round table discussions. The various subjects taken up in the club this year were the Roman houses and villas, gardens, the life of the Roman boy from the time of his birth to his entrance into militarv or public life, pagan elements in our Christmas traditions, and Roman banquets. Occasionally a social hour is spent playing interesting Latin card games, singing Latin songs, and working Latin crossword puzzles. Each year ' s work culminates in a banquet which is conducted in true Roman style; the members wear togas and recline on couches. The flower-strewn tables loaded with food and the odor of burning incense carry one back in imagination some two thousand vears. OFFICERS Ollie Backus, Prcs. Gladys Rath, Vicc-Pres.

The membership is made up of those students and faculty members who belong to the fraternal orders of Free Masons and De ] Iolays ; they represent every degree from the De Molays to the Shriners. The Club has set for itself a threefold aim : to carry out the ideals and lessons as exemplified by the order of Free Masonry into the every day life of Western ' s students, to promote a lasting bond of friendship between the mem- bers, and to help worthy Masons and De Molays by means of a loan fund estab- lished by the club. Both faculty members and speakers from outside the Normal have furnished programs at the bi-monthly meetings. The club has made visits to nearby lodges, where the hand of fellowship has always been extended. During the school year several enjoyable social events were held. Among them was the annual picnic at Mr. Sherwood ' s cottage on Pine Lake. This was held the second week of the fall term for the purpose of acquainting Western ' s De Molay ' s and Masons with each other. In the winter term the club entertained the members of the Eastern Star Club in the gymnasium of the Training School. An orchestra composed of members of the club furnished the music for the dancing. The final get-together party was at Gull Lake in the spring term. The members spent a delightful time in a variety of outdoor sports. Fleming, Prcs.

Its purpose is to carry the ideals and lessons exemplified by the chapter into the every-day life of Western ' s sttidents. This, the fourth year of its existence, shows a steady increase in membership and enthusiasm ; the present roll num- bers fifty. Meetings are held the first Monday of each month in the Women ' s Club Room. In the fall term three degrees teams were formed, from which one was selected to give the initiatory work at the invitation of the Vicksburg chapter. Mrs. Olive Pearson, president, who was elected last spring for the year, was graduated in December ; Ruth Fisher was selected to fill the vacancy until the regular election ' in the spring term. In October the club had a Hallowe ' en Party in the Rotunda of the Training School ; in January it enjoyed a dinner and initiation at Corinthian Chapter ; in February it was the guests of the Square and Compasses Club. The closing event of the year was the annual banquet to which the alumni and the officers of Cor- inthian Chapter were invited. MEMBERS Fisher, Prcs. Hagerty, Vicc-Prcs. Nicholson, Sec.

To carry out this aim the programs of the meetings have been considerably varied. Through the efforts of the program committee several very interesting lectures were given during the year by members of the faculty and competent speakers from out- side. Among those who appeared before the club were Dr. Nancy Scott and Professor Smith Burnham of the Normal and President Johnson of the Kala- mazoo Savings Bank. It is the plan of the club to have one social gathering in each month. The par- ties given this year have been well attended and have proved very successful. The Thanksgiving party given in the Little Gym will long be remembered by all those who were there as a most enjoyable event. During the Christmas holidays a group of the members drove to Ann Arbor to attend meetings of the National Historical Association. Although the club is young it has a membership of thirty. The officers for this year were Donald Murphy, president ; Mildred Hilton, vice-president ; Lavina White, secretary; Laurence Musser, treasurer; Doris Swem and Wayne Joy, membership chairmen ; Rhea Porter and Helen Daniels, program chairmen.

W. C. A. this year. Gathered around the fire light glow, heart spoke to heart, and eye lighted eye in good fellowship. ] Iany a happy hour have we spent considering problems which we as Christians are meeting every day. Many a silent moment have we sat to- gether, heads bowed in prayer, pledging our strength to do His work. The programs have had no small part in accomplishing this spirit. (.)ur dear ever present help in time of trouble, Miss Spindler, talked to us on The Fourfold Life. That enthusiastic group of Geneva delegates — Mary Thomas, Mina Thomas, Margaret Duvan, Helen IMilton — brought inspiration with their reports ; though to our deep regret, they failed to exhibit Helen Milton ' s notebook — a great curiosity, to be sure. There have been others: Rev. Coors, Mrs. Loomis, Mr. Shilling, Dr. Barnes, Mr. Hoekje, Mrs. Ellsworth. Miss Faccinelli from Chile, Miss Tamin from France, and Mr. Tantsi, a Xegro ]5reacher from Battle Creek, provided the Christmas program. Our interest has been caught in having an opportunity to speak our minds on such topics as these: The Ideal Woman and Man; Why Are We in College? ; What Shall We Do on Sunday? ; How Far Are We Responsible for Other Students? We did not fail woman ' s ancient reputation for agility of tongue, and the memories of those discussions have enriched the lives of each one of us. Yet we did not always tread the way with serious miens. Alarshmallow roasts and games the time beguiled — and that dread banquet ! How we did work to be re- warded by success ' s happy glow. This year has seen a new work started — and started well. Our deputation team, young as it is, has done much to carry out and spread the ideals of the Y. W. C. A., striving to lead others into the peace and fellowship found in living the Christ- like life. jp5: ' S =1!?? ir :8 ' i Tia Page Two Hundred Forty-i Swem, Prcs. Burrell, I ' icc-Prcs.

The Deputation Teams are groups of young people from the school who are prepared to meet with other groups of young people, especially of high school age, in outlying communities, and in Kalamazoo to consider with them some of the responsibilities that demand from us all both character and intelligence. To start this work two captains were chosen — Celia .Allen from the Y. W. C. A. and Allen Edwards from the Y. AI. C. A. As the year passed, membership and enthusiasm grew. To carry out their purpose the teams went to different churches in the city and nearby communities. Nearly every Sunday afternoon those who were not out on teams met for an inspirational meeting, at which special music was furnished and helpful and interesting discussions were led either by members or outside speakers.

It aids new students to find suitable rooming places and to enroll, and it arranges mixers among the men several times during the year. It also sends members throughout the state, co-operating with the Older Boys ' Conference and various other boy ' s meetings. Weekly meetings are held, presided over by competent ' ' Y members or by speakers from without the organization. During the year a number of delega- tions attended a variety of Y. M. C.

Its membership now exceeds two hun- dred girls. The purpose of the club is to bring together the girls of the Early Elementary Department and to establish a common interest for them. The most notable event of the year was the Christmas Tea, at which the club entertained all the students and faculty of Western ' s Early Elementary depart- ment and the Early Elementary teachers of Kalamazoo and outlying schools. The traditional ' alentine candy sale was most successful this year. It is given every year for the purpose of raising a money contribution for the Fannie Ballou Memorial Fund. The Early Elementary Club maintains this as a scholarship fund in memory of Fanny Ballou. It was established in 1921 and is adminis- tered as a loan fund for the benefit of students in the Early Elementary de- partment. The usual contributions of money, toys, and clothing were made at Christmas for the Caney Creek Community Center of Kentucky. And as usual a spring party was given to which the student body was invited. The activities of the club are administered by a cabinet, which consists of rep- resentatives from the Early Education classes, various groups of practice teach- ers from the Training School and outlying schools, and chairmen of the stand- ing committees.

It has been established for nine years and has proved itself to be one of Western State ' s most active organizations. It has contributed generously to every worthwhile movement of the school. A large measure of the club ' s success is due to the untiring efforts of Wiltrud Forsythe, president, Louise Stocking, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Barton and Miss Argabright, faculty advisors. However, the individual members have endeavored to aid in the club ' s growth. Desirous of more knowledge concerning the field of later elementary education, the club has set for itself the following aims : to keep Later Elementary students Page Two Hundred Fifty-eight l-:,,k-nl)aiiali Ackrrman Ri.tlilu.s CHKlrich Slurhan Mina Thomas Mary Thomas Branyan Hurley Schrier Sladky Kesler Ruane Smith Rowe Eberly Allen Bunbury Widener.

But at most of the meetings the organization has considered under the guidance of able speakers — faculty members and others — questions bearing upon the special field of Senior High work.

In the near future the group hopes to have some alumni members return and tell of their teach- ing experiences in various high schools throughout the state. The messages which alumni will bring concerning the solution of problems in senior high schools will undoubtedly prove very helpful to student members. OFFICERS Lionel Gibsox, Pics.

This organization, as its name signifies, strives to study problems which will arise in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades and at the same time endeavors to make its members acquainted with each other. The Junior High movement and what it has accomplished formed the basis of an interesting talk given early in the year by Mr. Wilds. Problems of practical in- terest were disctissed. The relation of extra-curricular activities to the routine work of the Junior High pupil was examined in detail. The club members ex- pressed themselves as favoring class meetings and assemblies during regular school hours under the supervision of a teacher, since they formed such an important part in a school program. The members agreed that any interests such as music, dancing, and sports were especially to be encouraged in the adolescent child. Social affairs have not been neglected in this organization. At the beginning of the year new members were duly initiated into the club. Following the initiation they were entertained at a dinner. In December the group met to enjoy a Christ- mas party. Later two supper meetings were well attended. Among other interests the club has organized a basketball team which has met in competition with several other groups of the school. Three teams with whom it played were the Specials, the Early Elementary Department, and the Sophomore Phvsical Education girls. !■ Page Two Hundred Sixty-two Jardine Sjoberg Tajlor Stratton Garn Rasmussen Moore Moored Lyndrup Edison Jeannot O ' Dell Carlson Sanford Kremer Doyle Keller Bisel Hutchinson Buck Carlson Schrier Van Dyke Beerenbroek Wilde Griswold Meyer Brown Huwer Busman Winfield Schlutt Moor Johnson Bergkliut King Vauden Berg Zindel Lee One of the purposes of the Junior High Ckib has been to estabHsh a scholarship fund which could be used by a worthy entrant in the Junior High Department.

The social and intellectual interests of the department are emphasized by the club. The creation of a socially co-operative spirit, the elevation of standards of schol- arship, and the culture of a professional attitude are aims toward which the club strives.

This year the club has realized its program of worthwhile accomplishments. With a membership the largest in its history, this organization has placed itself on a firm financial foundation — a foundation that points to a future of school service. The twenty-one new members who braved the horrifying machinations of a strenuous initiation, have been pledged to carry on the plans now being formulated under the ca])able leadership of president Neal Johnson. At the first meeting of the school year two members of the board of advisors, President Waldo and Coach Judson Hyames, gave inspiring talks concerning the possible achievements of the year 1925-1926. Plans were immediately made for the annual home-coming of Western ' s alumni — an event which was inaugurated several years ago by the W Club. The members chose the Western-Mt. Plea- sant football game as an ideal setting. The home-coming was so well planned that even a drizzling rain, a field of mud, and a scoreless tie did not dampen the spirits of the loyal homecomers. After the game they assembled to banquet and dance the remainder of the day — oblivions of the storm that raged without. The club assumed the responsibility of placing a program in the hands of all those attending the Normal gridiron contests. Some of these were ijnique in design and worthy of being treasured by every loyal fan. a m. Page Two Hundred Seventy Daly Ri-ht.

This fall the class rush was unusually interesting and gave the freshmen and sophomores ample opportunity to settle their disputes and give vent to surplus energy. During the basketlaall season the W Club demonstrated that it could do some- thing besides plan banquets, dances, homecomings, and class games. Its basketball team was rivaled only lay the varsity and made a clean sweep of the intramural championship. One of the most elaborate social affairs of the school year is the annual W Club party, given in the spring term. To this each member invites his best-beloved. This is always a party of such a sort that other organizations find it difficult t o measure up to the standards set by the W Club. Long after a member has left school he feels that he has found a true friend when he happens to meet a fellow memJaer of the ' ■ ' Club. Many stories are told of the fellowship of the men and of the cordial welcome which they always extend to each other.

The aim of the Association has been to interest every girl at Western in Physical Edtication activities and this has been especially accomplished through the Honor Point System. In the fall term a delegate was sent to Ann Arbor where representatives from Michigan colleges discussed the needs of Physical Education departments through- out the state. We were recognized as having the best point system of any college represented ; however, realizing that there is still much to be done, the executive board of the association is working on a more efficient and usable system. We have been unusually fortunate in our selection of speakers. At the begin- ning of the year Dr. Henry and Miss Rawlinson of our own faculty spoke to us on Adolescence and Courtesy respectively. Dr. Mitchell from the Battle Creek Sanitarium gave an interesting account of the research work that is being carried on along the line of nutrition. Dr. Thompson from Fairmount Hospital speaking on Tuberculosis , and Dr. Mortar from the State Hospital giving a talk on Mental Hygiene made us realize more than ever the value of Physical Edu- cation.

Its name was derived from an Indian word meaning the gathering of friends in a strange land. This club furnishes an opportunity for students from alcove the Straits to become better acquainted in an informal manner and thereby make the Upper Peninsula students better known in Western and Western lietter known in the Upper Peninsula. In addition to social hours in which members may dispell their homesickness, there are talks concerning the beauty of wood and river in the Upper Peninsula, and the interesting geology and mineral resources of the district. The towns represented at Western from the Upper Peninsula are Sault St. Marie, Marquette. Xegaunee. Ishpeming, Manistique, Lake Linden, Houghton, Hancock, Calumet. Ironwood.

In the first few years of our school ' s history our athletic teams could not compete success- fully even with high schools. Ihit by the fall of 1913 high schools had Ijeen dropped from our schedules and we harl taken a step in advance. (July four years later our football team held Michigan at Ferry Field to a close score. A glance at the schedules of the last few years will reveal the fact that Normal has grown remarkably in athletic prowess. At the time of our twentieth anniversary two years ago Coach Read summed up the position of athletics at Western in the following words: It can be seen that Western State has reached a fine position in the athletic sun and the future may hold anything. Athletic prominence and achievement is an aspect of virility — a quality more and more recognized as desirable in a teacher training institu- tion. Therefore, the effort to compete with the big universities is a sensible as well as an inspiring ambition. Page Two Hundred Sev Coach oacnes E Western ' s track coach. Lawrence Taylor, accounts for the remarkable records which have been won in track. The men who are under his guidance are impressed by his athletic abilities and manly qualities. Herbert W. Read, most successfully succeeded Wm. Spaulding as basketball coach in the mid-season of 1922. Due to his coaching Normal ' s teams have lost very few games since he took charge of the basketball players. He aids prospective coaches and is well liked by his men. Judson A. Hyames, affectionately called Juddy by those who work for him, is a good example of a coach who believes in clean sports. He has successfully con- veyed his ideas concerning fair play in athletics to his excellent baseball stars. Earl T. Martineau. an outstanding star on Coach Bill Spaulding ' s Minnesota eleven of 1923 and a member of Walter Camp ' s Ail-American team in 1923, came to Western in the fall of 1924 to direct the destinies of our gridiron. His football teams testify to his abilities as a coach. I I % ' I I ' ll- ' i Page Two Hundred Seventy eight ' .t ' i: :l;i: .y,:f i --t:Tr i:7 : iV iK5ffiji ,: ■ •: i ' - ' :x - i - ' . : = ;!

Never- theless, from the old veterans — Neal Johnson, Zuidema, Brethour, lonson, Farrer, Carr, Banach, and Daly, together with the reserves of 1924 and this year ' s freshmen, the coaching staff was able to develop a line worthy of de- fending Western ' s gridiron prestige. Banach, Capt.-Elect Halfback Johnson Guard Page Two Hundred Etghty-two Fleming Guard In spite of the loss of many stars Western en- joyed one of her most successful seasons. A good sportsman knows that it is not the num- ber of games lost or won, but the kind of competition encountered, that makes a worth- while season. Western tackled one of the hardest schedules in its football history dur- ing the fall of 1925 ; three new opponents — Bradley of Peoria, Illinois, St. Thomas of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Central State Normal of Mt. Pleasant — were met. The team won six of its games, tied one, and lost two. Many besides letter-men have done excellent work on the gridiron. The reserves have practiced gladly and faithfully, although they have not obtained many opportunities to go on trips. Too often the value of a reserve team is forgotten but Western appreciates the work of her reserves. WESTERN 20; BOWLING GREEN Saturday, September 26, Coach Earl Martin- eau ' s blue-clad stalwarts defeated the Fight- ing Colonels from Bowling Green, Kentucky, by a score of 20-0. By taking advantage of the breaks of the game and by playing faster football, Western was able to defeat the Ken- tuckians and incidentally win the iirst leg of the tri-state Normal Championship. In the iirst quarter a Kentucky fumble led to the first Brown and Gold touch-down. Byrne, a freshman, was sent into the game in the sec- ond quarter and made a beautiful end run for a second touch-down. The third quarter went scoreless. Barstis in the fourth quarter recov- ered the ball and made the third touch-down. it 1 a5agag$a p|T- =TSt gr iEfTf;j ; Page Two Hundred Eighty-th WESTERX 2 ; BRADLEY 6 Coach Martineau and his team journeyed to Peoria, Illinois, Saturday, October 3. to give battle to Bradley Tech., a new team on our schedule and a leader among the Little Nine- teen of Illinois. Western had fair chance to win, but there was too much fvmibling in the Brown and Gold backfield and this broke up e ery attempt at a consistent assault. The way was paved for the lone touch-down of the game, which resulted in the victory of the Peoria braves bv a score of 6-2. Brethour Guard Redmond Tackle tit 1 •lU ■;es25;s: s Page Two Hundred Eighty-four ' Bi L:. . WESTERN 13; ST. THOMAS 27 The week after the Bradley game another long trip brought the Brown and Gold team face to face with an opponent as staunch as the Peoria warriors. Western lost this hard fought struggle to the St. Thomas Cadets. A very powerful team they were ; they liked to call themselves the Xotre Dame of the North . By no means does the score 27-13 indicate the closeness of the contest. After giving the Cadets a good battle for three quar- ters and getting into the last quarter with the score 13-13, the Normal men, apparently fa- tigued by the journey, weakened, and let the game slip over their heads via the aerial route. Vanderhoff Guard aig ' ' = r=ajj: =ffr)rpy: g Page Two Hundred Eighty-five Western State travelled fast and swamped ' alparaiso University by a score of 45-0 on October 17. This surprising score over an old and obdurate foe was made by an eager and united team which ran the ends cleverly and [)Ut over some of the best forward passing seen in recent years on the Xormal field. At the end of the first quarter the score was 14-0. I ' ump intercepted a Hoosier pass and ran 50 yards for a touch-down in the second (|uarter. The third quarter became almost the exclusive property of Rastigue, a freshman, who made three touch-downs in fifteen brief minutes. The third team, which played the last quarter, held the Hoosiers scoreless. Page Two Huinhcd Eighty-six Rasticue Halfback WESTERX 21 : NOTRE DAME FRESHMEN r)n Friday, October 23, Western secured sweet re ' enge from the Notre Dame Freshmen for tlieir 15-7 defeat of last year. Spectacular play enabled the Hilltoppers to wallop the Rockne Yearlings 21-0. The Irishmen fought a typically hard battle, but bursts of speed from Western ' s backfield stars brought about the three touch-downs. Carr and Banach were the big factors in the first Brown and Gold touch-down, which came in the middle of the opening quarter. The Freshmen got down to business in the second quarter and played sounder football, holding Western scoreless. Farrer and Fulgoni were the ground gainers in the third quarter. ] lany substitutes were put in at the last and the fourth quarter was scoreless.

Each team scored a touch-down, but the toe of Red Farrer held steadier in a pinch at the try for point than did that of Jerdee, the (Jshkosh backfield star. The lone goal after the touch-down meant victory for the Brown and Gold squad. The first half ended 6-0 in favor of Oshkosh, who scored at the beginning of the second quarter, llanach covered himself with glory in the third quarter by scooping up the oval and racing 60 yards for a touchdown. Never were two teams more evenly matched in strength ; they kept each other from scoring. e Page Two Hundred Eighty-eight WESTERN 0: IT. PLEASANT The intense rivalry existing between Western State Normal and Central Normal made its presence felt Saturday, November 7. v ' hen football relations Vi ere resumed after a lapse of sixteen years. Playing on a wet field with a soggy, mud-covered ball the two teams played a scoreless game, 0-0. Despite unfa- vorable playing conditions the game was sur- prisingly consistent. Late in the first quarter Western ' s goal was in danger. Red Farrer was the big ground gainer for Western in the third quarter. Throughout the fourth quarter Western was continually menacing Central ' s goal and fum- bled at critical moments, when victory was in sight. As the game was played Western seemed the better team, and on a dry field where speed might count would probably have won.

The first touch-down came in the first Cjuarter ; Carr not only made the touch-down, but also completed the try for ])oint. In the second quarter with the ball near the 15 yard line, Carr cut back through tackle evading a number of tacklers, and crossed the goal line again ; Earrer kicked goal. iMve minutes after the start of the third quar- ter the Chicago team had the ball on its 43 yard line. Finally Davies, their brilliant little quarter-back, carried the ball through center for a touch-down. Chicago failed to kick soal.

Determined to make their last contest a winning one. these huskies were assisted by their team-mates and emerged victorious with a 3-2 score in the final quarter. The improved Methodist organization used the wind advantageously in the first and third quarters and threatened to cross Western ' s goal several times. In the last quarter with defeat staring them in the face, Normal began a determined assault and Carr by his good work paved the way for a Western victory. Coach Martineau ' s men were out-weighed ten pounds per man. ifr Page Two Hundred Ninety-i Two Hundred Ninety4v Flogus Dcii Bleyker Avery Lee Nestor Cornell Elias Fleck Coach. Read OFFICIALS Trainer, Covixgton Captain, Lee A Basketball T THE beginning of the season 1925-1926 dreams of a star basketball team at Western were not bright, because Coach Buck Read had lost many good men Jjy graduation and by the strict enforcement of eligibility rules. Coach Read had only Captain Harry Lee and ' ' Hank Schrump, regulars, around whom a new quintet could be built. ' estern ' s basketeers tackled one of the hard- est scliedules in the history of the school — a schedule which was an appropriate dedication for the big floor of the new gymnasium. Nineteen games were played, six of them on foreign floors. The new teams encountered were Bradley, and John Carroll University. Coach Read ' s method of placing much empha- sis on speed, accurate passing, basket shooting, pivots and reverse turns, fast and well con- trolled dribbling, developed his new material into heady basketball players who rounded out a successful season against such formidable competition. ScHRCMP, Capl.-clcct Fonvard Johnson Guard Pugc T-.-jo Huy.dred Xiiiety foil, Review of Season The Basketball season opened Saturday, December 5, when the alumni returned to test Coach Read ' s quintet. The great team of 1923, with the exception of Sam Boerman, was present, and defeated the varsity five 18-14. After a week ' s reorganization and additional training the Brown and Gold cagers came out on Friday, December 11, and swamped Olivet by a score of 72-16. St. Viator College, from Bourbonnais. Illinois, opened the regular basketball season Friday, January 8. The encounter with the Irish was tough and called for the best efiforts of the var- sitv squad. The Brown and Gold five won 33-25. The following night Manchester College of In- diana thrilled the Brown and Gold fans with a flashy second half drive which enabled it to defeat Western ' s cagers 33-23. At first the Hilltopper ' s defense worked well and the score stood 13-13 at the end of the half. With short bullet-like passes and uncanny skill at shooting baskets the visitors ran away for a 12 point lead before Western started again. Following the two hard games here Buck Read took his basketeers on a three day inva- sion in Illinois, on which three scalps were tak- en. St. Aviator, the first victim, was overcome Elias 28-22. Western ' s quintet followed their Thurs- Guard Nestor Forward Page Two Hundred Ninety-five Avery Forivard LUXDQUIST Center Cornell Forward day night victory by trimming Armour Tech ? 2-22. The battle was harder agamsi the fast Chicago Y. M. C. A. College the next night. The wearied Normalites fought an uphill battle and were behind a point at the end of the half. By a great rally in the .second half Western netted four goals which enabled it to come forth victorious with a final score of 31-25. Anxious to continue their winning streak and remembering their defeat of last year Western State presented Hope College a perfect five man defense style of play, through which the Dutchmen were unable to penetrate. Normal obtained a flying start and walked away with a score of 31-15. Normal ' s next opposition was Bradley Institute of Peoria, Illinois. The first half was clearly Bradley ' s, but Western came through with a 33-28 victory. Even after the rally of Western ' s cagers had given us a fairly comfortable lead, fans waited breathlessly for the outcome. It was less than a minute to go when Bradley overcame Western ' s lead 28-27. Extra steps by one of Bradley ' s men gave Normal the ball. Nestor took the throw from Schrump and dropped in a perfect mid-court shot. Neal Johnson dribbled through for an unexpected ringer within three seconds of time and finished one of the most exciting and spectacular games ever witnessed in Kalamazoo. Apparently suffering a reaction from this magnificent victory. Western ' s regulars were caught flat-footed the following Wednesday night at Ypsilanti and were smothered in the first twelve minutes 15-4. An accurate shooting sec- ond team was rushed on the floor and completely outplayed the Green and White and came from behind and won 32-27. Western downed the University of Detroit the following night 28-23. In this game the team displayed more consistent ability to register by clean basket shots from the floor than they did on the previous night. Page Two Hundred Ninety-six Byrne Guard Wooden Guard Den Bleyker Guard Western ' s winning streak struck a snag in the form of Pat Page ' s famed Bull Dogs of Indianapolis. Submerged under a deluge of uncanny basket shooting in the first few minutes of play, Western was unable to recover and was forced to accept defeat 28-21. Undaunted by defeat at the hands of Butler Western came back strong the fol- lowing Thursday. By spectacular ofifense and impenetrable defense the Normal quintet defeated Armour Tech 38-29. Traditional rivalry sprang into action Saturday, February 6, when lichigan State College fought Coach Read ' s stars. After the smoke of battle cleared away Western emerged as victors with a score of 30-25. Western State had little trouble in taking a slow game from Lake Forest Uni- versity Friday, February 12. First and second combinations rolled up a score of 46-20. By exhibiting superior basketball ' estern was able to defeat her old rival, Val- paraiso, 49-24. Inability to break through Normal ' s five man defense made Michigan State ac- cept the small end of a 38-15 score. Western fans were forced to see the Brown and Gold team bow to the strong Ypsilanti team in an overtime period with a score of 27-25. One of the most brilliant basketball seasons in the history of the school was brought to a close Friday, March 5, when the Hilltoppers easily defeated John Carroll University of Cleveland, Ohio, 42-21. Despite a long and hard season only three games were lost (not counting the alumni game. ) We lost to Manchester and Butler, two of the fastest teams in the middle West, and to Ypsilanti who this year had the greatest team in the history of the institution.

Among the veterans to report for spring practice were Captain Chuck Maher, catcher; Swede Ellingson and Lanky Kienbaum, right hand hurlers, and Ken Ruse, southpaw mound ace ; Monk Righter, shortstop; Hank Schrump. second sacker ; Harry Lee, Neal Johnson, and John Armstrong, outfielders. Other good men to report were Styx Bennett and McMullen, outfielders ; Covington and Misner, third basemen ; Gerald Graham, shortstop ; Red Wilson, catcher ; and Arthur Yost, right hand pitcher. Seventeen games were played by the Brown and Gold team, of which fourteen were won and three lost. As such teams as Notre Dame, Butler, M. S. C, and Ypsilanti were de- feated, the season ' s record was considered very satisfactory. Hope College was the first game Normal played. Western fans were then given their first opportunity to see the team Page Three Hundred in action. The Hilltoppers won 14-2. The feature of the game was the hitting of the veteran Xeal Johnson and Covington, a star from the south. The next game was with Albion. Four hits bvmched in the fourth inning gave Western State three talhes and a 4-0 lead, which was more than enough to win. Kienbaum, Normal ' s speed ball twirler, held the lethodists to one hit in the six innings he worked. Yost finished the game in great style, winning 6-3. Ypsilanti next appeared on the scene and it required eleven innings to decide this hectic battle. Western finally nosed out its opponents 4-3. Ruse, mound ace of Normal, held Ypsilanti scoreless for seven innings. In the eighth Ypsilanti suc- ceeded in shoving three runs across, but the Hilltoppers showed their old fighting .spirit and came from behind, scoring two runs in the eighth and one in the ninth. This tied the score. Coach Hyames sent Ellingson to the box at the start of the ninth and Ypsilanti was held. In the last of the eleventh Bobby ] liller. first up for the Brown and Gold, singled. Ellingson sacrificed, Bennett singled, and filler went to third. Here the signals were given for the squeeze play and Miller scored the winning run as Covington laid down a perfect bunt in front of the plate. The following Saturday saw another extra inning struggle, when Western won the biggest home game of the season ' s schedule by defeating M. S. C. in ten innings 3-2. The game was a pitcher ' s battle between Kienbaum of ' estern and Wakefield of M. S. C. 1 .;) ' HORMJi, I l« Ruse Pitcher li P S S = .

' estern ' s Hilltoppers were unable to locate the corners and were defeated 6-5 in 10 in- nings. Western State again took Armour Tech into camp at Chicago 8-1. Ellingson was in good form ; he fanned nine men and allowed but five scattered hits. The following Thursday the Brown and Gold took a victory from Central Normal at Mt. Pleasant 15-9. Neal Johnson, husky left fielder, drove in six runs with a homer, a triple, and two doubles. Miller and Righter also hit triples.

One of the biggest athletic triumphs of the year was achieved, when the Western nine defeated Notre Dame 3-2 in a fast game. The first five innings were score- less. Ruse ' s fast ball was well under control and his curves broke nicely. Western scored two in the sixth, on a single by Johnson, a free trip to first for Schrump, a sacrifice by Righter, and a clean center field drive by Captain Maher. Notre Dame tied the score in the seventh on a double by Captain Nolan and singles by Crawley and Farrell. In the last half of the seventh Western scored one run, which proved to be the winning tally. Ruse, first up, was safe on an error by a centerfielder, Bennett sacrificed, Coving- ton beat one out. Ruse went to third, and scored by Lee ' s sacrifice fly. Captain Chuck Maher ' s catching was a feature 0 of the game. iNORMAL 1 SORMAl V ' L ' y ' ' H if In the last game of the season Western defeated Alt. Pleasant 7-2 in an interest- ing battle. Western got away to an early lead and was never in danger. Covington collected three hits and Bennett four, one of which was a triple. This game marked the close of college baseball for the following men : Captain Chuck Alaher, one of the main stays of the catching stafif for four years ; Alaynard Swede EUingson, pitcher; Bobbie Miller, second baseman, and Paul Styx Bennett, star center fielder.

But after an uncertain period in March and April, caused by the loss of important men, a great rally was made and the team fin- ished in the state collegiate and won dual meets against J I. S. C. and the Notre Dame Fresh- men. Had it not been for the loss of such a valuable sprinter as Altenburg and distance men as Klock, Gates, and Collisi, the team would un- doubtedly have placed higher in the state meet. Three firsts were won in this event, the same as gained by Ypsilanti, the winner. However, the issue was decided on second and third places. The Notre Dame Freshmen reached the high point of the year ' s performance. Western yr- ' i r Ji Klock Distance todk e -ery first liut one and tied for that. Chickering ran the 220 in 22 flat ; ' eaver ran the quarter in 50 flat ; Af cDougall ran the half mile in 2.25 ; Grovenor heaved the shot over 40 feet ; Richards jumped 5 feet 10 inches : Farrer threw the javelin l58 feet: Martindale tlirew the discus 131 feet. On Alay 9 Western State defeated ' M. S; C. in the meet on the Aggies ' track 81-50. West- ern won nine events ; M. S. C. won six. Chick- ering not only won the 100 and 220 sprints but also set a new Normal record of 21 j4 seconds in the 220. The old record was held by George Walker, who made it in 22 seconds in 1922. Cu I. ,TON St ' riiits Western placed third in the state intercollegiate track meet at M. S. C. with a total of 29 points. Captain Weaver led the field in the quarter mile in 49 o seconds; Martindale broke the discus record by a heave of 131 feet 3 inches; Chickering ran under SO seconds for the first lap of the relay, placed third in the record-breaking 220, and fourth in a fast 100 yard dash ; the relay placed second with a time of 3 minutes, 25%o seconds. K % Indoor Track t THE track prestige of Western State Normal ' s indoor teams was well upheld this past winter. Under the coaching of Prof Taylor and capable leader- ship of Captain Laurence Chickering the team has gone through one of the greatest seasons and hardest schedules in the history of track athletics at Western. Western can well be proud of the records her track team has established against such formidable foes as Ohio Wesleyan, conference track champions of Ohio ; Ypsilanti, champions of Michigan intercollegiate track meets ; Michigan State College ; and Notre Dame Freshmen. The first dual indoor meet of the year was staged Saturday, February 13, when Coach Taylor sent a well balanced team against Ohio Wesleyan. Track fans witnessed a meet of the highest class as the Buckeye champions defeated the Normal tracksters 59 4. Two records were broken jointly by Western and Ohio Wesleyan. Morrow, Normal, and Burifif, Wesleyan, tied at 11 feet 8 inches Page Three Hundred Ten r B in setting a new Normal pole vault record. In the running high jump Richards, Normal, and Dowds, Wesleyan, tied for first at 5 feet lO ' t inches. A spectacular half-mile relay, won by Michi- gan State in close to record time, proved the deciding factor in the second dual meet of the season, when Coach Taylor and his tracksters invaded East Lansing, February 20. Alichigan State ' s unexpected strength in the distances and the 40 yard dash enabled the State team to win 47K-38 . An exhibition mile relay, which did not count for points, was easily won by Normal by a margin of 50 -ards. Morrow Pole Vault High Jmnp The third meet of the winter was with Ypsilanti. Three records were broken by wide margins in which Michigan State Normal won 52%o-42 4o- Freddie Alor- row, a frosh star, was the outstanding figure of the meet, and won the high jump at S feet 10 inches and the pole vault at 12 feet 3 inches, breaking his previous record of 11 feet 8 inches. Two distance marks were lowered by Ypsilanti stars in establishins: two more records. Western State closed the indoor season by defeating the Notre Dame Frosh 56-31. Normal won six firsts and tied for a seventh. McDowell was high point man of the meet, winning both the 60 yard high and 65 yard low hurdles. Although Normal was forced to accept three defeats by very close margins, this does not signify that Normal was not as strong as in years past. In fact West- ern ' s varsity track team was stronger than any team Coach Taylor has turned out for several years. The squad performed some very remarkable achievements. Morrow consistently vaulted 12 feet; Richards and Morrow were good at high jumping; McDowell featured in both the high and low hurdles ; Klock ably took care of the mile and two mile ; Chickering and Weaver both ran close to record time in the 440 dashes ; Burnham, Fleming, Van Norden, and Morrow all put over 37 feet in shot putting. Page Three Hundred Eleven i Fisher Chickerixc Relay Teatn WITH but Captain Chickering and Malcolm Weaver back as a nucleus upon which to depend Coach Laurence Taylor attempted to build a winning team for the season of 1926. In Wetters, Fisher, Jones, and Chase, Coach Taylor found the most capable men. After working out daily on the track in our new gymnasium and a final workout on Notre Dame ' s dirt track. Coach Taylor took Captain Chickering, Weaver, Wetters, Fisher, and Jones to represent Western in the mile at the Illinois re- lays. In this event, in which fourteen teams were entered. Western was forced to accept fifth place, although running in j4 of a second of Western ' s 1923 record breaking team, which covered the distance in 3 :33.2 Ohio Wesleyan and Knox College tied for first place with a time of 3:29 5. At the Michigan State Relay Carnival. Fred Morrow, a freshman, proved to be the outstanding athlete. Freddie set a new state record of 12 feet yi inch in the pole vault, }i ' inch higher than the record of Landowski, a former University of IMichigan pole vaulter. Morrow also tied for first place in the high jump at 5 feet 10 4 inches. Richards won fourth place with a jump of 5 feet 9 inches. MacDowell placed third in the high hurdles. Western State ' s half-mile relay team was beaten by Michigan State ' s relay men, who set a new record of 1 :40.3 Normal defeated Ypsilanti in a special race; in this Weaver ran his quarter in 56.1, Yk, of a second slower than the track rec- ord and Captain Chickering finished in 55.9 breaking the track record. With such splendid material uncovered this year and with, further development under the capable coaching of Prof Taylor, Western can expect to be well represented next j ' ear in indoor relays. I i 11 Page Three Huudicd Tu ' chi Fisher McMoNAGLE Klock Cross Country FIFTEEN candidates including three veterans answered the first summons of Coach Laurence Taylor for his 1925 cross country team. Coach Taylor had as a nucleus for his team : Captain Ted Klock, Phil Knuth, James McMonagle, and Lauri Osterberg. a 1924 reserve. The first time trials uncov- ered a wealth of promising material ; Fisher and Dokter were conspicuous fresh- men. In the first race of the season staged between halves of the Notre Dame Freshman and Normal football game. Western State harriers defeated the Frosh 17-24 and came within two points of a perfect score. Knuth, sophomore star, won the race and broke the record made by Klaasse of last year ' s team. Captain Klock came in 28 seconds later and Fisher followed 25 seconds behind Klock. Notre Dame placed fourth, Osterberg fifth, and McMonagle and Dokter were sixth and sev- enth, respectively. The annual all-state collegiate race was held at East Lansing on Saturday. No- vember 14, Western State was represented by Captain Ted Klock, Phil Knuth, James McMonagle, I. K. Fisher, A ogt, and Osterberg. Although Knuth was one of the four to break the new state cross country record and four of Western ' s men were medal winners, the Brown and Gold team placed third. Ypsilanti Normal won the meet with 49 points, Michigan State Reserves were second with 61 points, and Western Normal had 69. The defeat was the first in four years for Western Normal. In 1922 the Hilltop harriers brought the State title to Western from East Lansing with a well bal- anced team. In 1923 Normal set a state low record, every man placing in the first ten, given medals. In 1924 Captain Bill CoUisi clipped 29 seconds off the state course. His teammates placed second, third, ninth, and twelfth, and the state title was won for the third consecutive time.

Vh Page Three Hundred Fouileen ZUIDEMA Hart i I Men ' s Tennis, Spring 1925 I FEW people realize that Western State met Albion, Grand Rapids Junior, and M. S. C. last year in tennis. In addition to making a favorable show- ing against these schools Normal ' s tennis players participated in two tour- naments. On May 22-23 there was a state invitational tournament at Kalamazoo. Western won with 14 points ; Ypsilanti was second with 1 1 points. This victory gave Western permanent possession of the beautiful Ihling Bros. Everard Trophy by virtue of winning the cup three times. AI. S. C. and Kalamazoo College had two legs on the cup. Individual medals were awarded to winners. At East Lansing June 5-6 was a state collegiate tournament. Western and M. S. C. tied for championship, leading the field with 7 points apiece. Grand Rap- ids and University of Detroit were the nearest with only three points apiece. A large silver cup was won for the school and individual cups were given to the winners in singles and doubles. I I i: F Vk }i=ft ' Page Three Hundred Sixteen Gladding : Women ' s Tennis, Spring 1925 THERE is scarcely a co-ed in Western who is not interested in tennis. But in spite of this apparent interest there are only a very few, who are really willing to take the time to play on a school team. However, Western pos- sessed some really excellent tennis players last year. The co-ed team played several schools and made successful showings against them. The details of these contests are not well known, since none of the girls who played are in school this year. Western won all the matches played with Albion. The final score was 3-0. The meet with Detroit City College was rather unfor- tunate since it was rained of? after Western had obtained a lead of 1-0. Later in the season a state invitational meet was held here. Hough and Pleune went to the semi-finals and were defeated. Hough and Salmond lost to Ypsilanti in the finals-doubles. The last meet was with M. S. C. ; Normal gained a 3-0 victory over this school. fi I Sfp Hundred Seventeen Sum Diary I MEN p. May 9 — Albion at Western W. S.

Honor Point System DURING the year 1925-1926 much interest was shown in the honor point system which is sponsored by the Physical Education Association. In the winter term there were eighty girls working for points, forty of whom were following general curricula. Due to additional space which made for more hours and smaller classes it was possible to interest a large number of students in intramural volley ball. As a result of this enthusiasm an interclass volley ball series was held in the spring thus giving the girls another point-making activity. Because of the success of the class tests, swimming will become a popular sport. Honors were earned by the following girls who are now in school : Dorothy Rohl and Helen Weller, sweaters ; Theo Parr and Margaret McKenzie, mono- grams.

The support by the Frosh girls was surprising and nearly 100 girls prac- ticed twice a week, and developed into a fast scquad of players. At the close of the season two squads were organized preparatory to a Frosh-Soph Tournament. Unfortunately the season for play was suddenly shortened, due to unfavorable weather.

All this has been made possible by the fact that the gymnasium of the . dministration Building has been turned over to the women. All Phys ical Education classes were divided into from six to eight teams and in each class a round robin tournament was plaved. The winners went into the championship series, the losers making up the consolation series. These two series were played otT in an elimination tournament, during which time the gymnasium rang loudly with the cheers of the supporters, and victory was brought to the above group in the championship series. The following girls showed much pep and gave the chani]is competition ; E. Wilber, Capt., G. Barron. L. Botham, A. Carman, M. Carpenter, A. Case, B. Hamilton, D. Huizenga. P. Johnson, L. lartens, E.

Water stops boiling as the heat gives out. A fierce start sometimes means a weak ending. It pays this store to use the best kind of fuel in the business engine and to keep the fires burning brightly all the blessed time. To relax in our efforts means to retreat from the firing line.
