LTHOUGH all that he has written is steeped in the very spirit of optimism and welcome 0f the inevit- able, the most interesting note in his broad philos- 0th is the manner in which he teaches us to look I forward to old age. There is no dread of Father Time, but joy. iiHoiw good to live and learnt is his slogan. In his itRabbi Ben Ezraii we feel with him that manis life is to be Viewed as a whole. Godis plan in our creaticvn has arranged for youth and age, and no View of life is consistent which ignores the work of either. iiOur times are in His hand Who saith, A whole I planned ; Youth shows but half ; trust God; see all, 1101' be afraid? Youth must seek its heritage in age; in the repose of age he is to measure the adventures of youth: tiYouth ended, I shall try My gain or loss thereby; Leave the fire ashes; What Survives is gold; Therefore, I summon age T0 grant youthis heritage? In Browningis View of life, his intense sense of the reality of God and the human soul is always paramount. He says it matters not what is lost if God be found and the soul be save'i. iiBut I need, now as then, Thee, God, who mouldest mien? THE NORM EIGHT It is the yearning 0f the spirit, not the skill of the hand, Which gives art its real value, for . iiA manis reach must exceed his grasp, or What 1s Heaven for? and iiProgress manis distinctive mark alone, Not Gods and not the beasts; God is, they are, Man partly is, and Wholly hopes to be? No English poet has written more on art and music, or has shown more conclusively an exact knewledge of both; but no poet is less of a dilettante. Art is simply an inspiration; if the artist is satisfied With his Work, he has renounced all that made his art worthy: itRather I prize the doubt, Pioor vaunt of life indeed, Were man but fetrmed to feed On 3' 0y, t0 solely seek and find and feast. Such feasting ended, then as sure And end to man? Browning holds that life is probation and education. He is fond of showing that it is better and grander to fail in something than to make no attempt; it is better to: attempt. the great things and fail than to be satisfied With the small things; then Welcome each rebuff Was. not comforts me?

Each sting that bids, nor That turns earthis smoothness rough, Ne! discussion of Brownings philosophy would be complete without mentioning his broad mindedness; his belief that. each must decide for himself: iiNoiW, Who shall arbitrate ?'

Life has many sweet and pleasant uses; let the miracle of science, the yearning of perfect music, or the spell of perfect art, find their proper places in the category of life and be accepted With no! ascetic scruple but genial gratitude. They are nothing more than hints by Which men learn the facts of a better life that teaches him how to realize the promise of youth in age, ttThe Future I may face new I have proved the Past? The beauty of this philosophy of life is shown when he Who not only wrote it but lived it says in conclusion: ttTake and use Thy work, Amend What flaws may lurk What strain ot the stuff, What warpings past the aim! My times be in Thy hand! Perfect the cup as planned! Let age approve of youth, And death complete the same? SARA B. MICKELSON. THE NORM $alling imam HEN the white men first settled at Alsea. Bay, three W distinct Indian tribes were found. The Alseas, whose principal food was shellfish and salmon, occupied the immediate bay and sea shore. The Klicketats were a tribe of hunters living south and southeast of the bay. The Drift Creek Indians lived in the timbered regions around . upper Drift Creek and Table Mountain, to the east and to the northeast. . ' , At certain times during the year, these tribes would meet in friendly councils and for trading purposes. At such times all differences and quarrels were put aside and the time was One of general jollification. Bon fires were built; dancing, singing war. songs, etc., were the chief amusements. Calling Quail, who was the daughter of an Alsea chief, was the most popular of the Indian maidens. She was so kind, gentle and beautiful that all who knew her loved her. Many young braves had sought her in vain, but there was one young Klicketat named Wrestling Bear, who was the most favored by her. He had won his name from a fierce encounter with a great black bear which he killed. Gray Wolf, chief of the Drift Creeks, also loved Calling Quail, and was very j eal-ous of Wrestling Bear. The Drift Creek Indians were not apeaceful tribe, and in order to maintain peace, Calling VQuailis father agreed to sell her to their chief, much against the wishes of the Indian maiden who feared and distrusted the ugly and evil-looking' warrior who was looked upon by his companions as cruel, hard hearted and vindictive. Wrestling Bear, big, generous and brave, made many Visits to the Alseas ostensibly for trading purposes, but in reality to see the Indian maiden whom he loved very tenderly. Their favorite meeting place which was nezar-a little spring among the pines, back of her fatheris camp, is not far from where Waldport now stlandls.

ELEVEN THE NORM before Calling Quail was to become- the wife of Gray Wolf. As the time for the wedding drew near, Calling Quail went about bidding her friends good by, all the while her heart grow- ing sadder and sadder. On the last evening, after all the men were seated around the campfire, she stealthily made her. way to the little spring to bid her true lover farewell. Gray Wolf had heard rumors of these meetings and being suspicious, followed her. When Calling Quail had retraced her steps through the heavy pine wood and was standing near the campfire, she heard a distant agonizing cry which caused her heart to sink within, her. The next morning Gray Wolf pulled his canoes ashore saying, lt1 am sick. We shall not go today. All day the fog hung heavy and damp over everything. When evening came Calling Quail said, iiI go get clams for to-morrowis feast? As soon as she was out of sight she paddled her canoe swiftly and silently up the river instead of down, for she knew Wrestling Bear would be waiting for her above. . . When supper was ended and the braves were sitting around the fires whiling away the hours in the usual manner, there was . suddenly borne to them on the night wind, the death song of the Alseas. Instantly they recognized the voice of Calling Quail. With startled faces they ran along the beach calling to her to come ashore. As the canoe passed Yaquina J ohn Point, the moon- light revealed the maiden, sitting in the bow while Wrestling Bear, torn and bloody from blows dealt by Gray Wolf, slowly paddled toward the rolling bar. In spite of the efforts and entreaties of those on shore, the lovers rowed out to the great sea while the song grew fainter and fainter, at least ceased and nothing but the roar of the breakers could be heard. Sometimes on a still evening if you are on the beach, you . may hear a peculiarly distant moaning sound. The old Indians , say this is the song of Calling Quail. E. W. THE NORM TWELVE . $iftainry President Ackerman, Faculty, Fellow-Students, Members of the Alumni and Guests,- I T was a time-hounored custom among the ancient Greeks and Romans to erect statues and memorials in public places of those heroes and events deserving special com- memoration. Their object was two-fold; first, they wished to show their lovetanol admiration for those who had done s:mething of moment for their beloved country; secondly, they realized the value of having constantly before their youths these great men and events; they realized that constant associa- tion with the great was an inspiration and often led to- an emula- y tion of those thus euloglze-d. The result was a nation loved and honored by her friends; feared and respected by her enemies. We, as a nation, are only beginning to realize the influence wielded by a 'great masterpiece. i Ruskin says, 51 would rather have in my living room the picture of a. beautiful landscape than to be able to View the scene from my'window; because in gazing at the picture I see not only the- View but see also the greatness of the man who willed the brush? , We may not all agree with Ruskin in this assertion, but we do all agree that constant inter- course with the great, either in person or through their works, tends to elevate the youth. ' With this thought in mind and in a small way to show our appreciation of the ser'vicesrendered us by our Alma Mater, and trusting that our gift may wield an influence over those who enter these halls later, we, the February graduates of the year nineteen hundred twelve, wish to present to this institution a slight token which we hope will keep our memory fresh in the minds of those we leave behind and remind all who enter these halls of nineteen hundred twelveis undying interest in. the Oregon N ormal School. In it we have expressed in a very infinitesimal way the great love, esteem, gratitude and appreciation we feel for the invaluable services rendered us by our Alma Mater. Therefore, in behalf of this class, I present. to you this emblem . of our great love. Thesebas-reliefs represent. our school not only as the sun of prosperity shines over it, but in its days of adversity t-WK'W mg 7,, h i A'V ittwn rm W m-Nurr Mm ,1 imam m am 'i' MW Mt! Him: '3 M Hum?

Thorwaldsens conception of iiNighti, is symbolical of our school during the past two years, for it, like the goddess of Night, was not dead but sleeping; and the Alumni and friends spread their protecting wings over the Normal, as does the god- dess hers over the two sleeping infants clasped in her encircling arms. The result of this careful nurturing by the Alumni and friends is typified by iiMorning? which is full of life and anima- tion, and which fittingly represents our school at the present time. Today we feel very warmly the glowing rays of the morning sun and tomorrow the full glory of her noonday beams will illuminate its halls ; but never again we trust will the setting sun be typical of the Oregon Normal School. As we are the first class to receive our full growth under its nourishing influence, it behooves us to solicit the diligent garden- ering of the faculties of our successors, so that this sun may never descend, but in the coming years we may see it rising higher and higher until it has climbed to the highest run of the Zodiac. We hope this gift will ever remain here as a reminder of what our school has been and what by patriotism, love and work it has become. As we gaze at these Walls we notice that it has' been the custom 01f graduating classes of the previous years to leave some piece of art to decorate these halls in order that they may assist in beautifying the structure endeared by associations and memories and in order that their names may be writ not only upon the hearts and minds of those who are here today but upon those who enter these halls tomorrow as well. We trust that the succeeding classes will follow the example of their predecessors and will leave some gift that will keep their memory fresh in the minds not only of those who will remain, but of those who will follow. As we go out into the world, each to our various duties at different points of the compass this small remembrance will serve as ttthe tie that binds? and in our diverse positions, our minds and hearts will often return to this day and bring to mind the pleasure and joy we felt as we presented this token to our beloved school. The great satisfaction which will vibrate through out beings as we close our eyes on our surroundings and for a brief span of time are- carried back to our Alma Mater and see our gift helping to illuminate her dignified beauty will in no small measure add to the pleasure of life. We do not give this in an obligatory manner but this feeling of giving has proceeded from a great something in our hearts which poets call filial love; a love that is as enduring as granite and as lasting as time. Our only wish is that this gift may ever be respected and revered and that by the grace of God it will remain upon these walls as long as its sun remains above the horizon.

T H E N ORM EIGHTEEN 0113152? agrnphprg z ERETOFORE it has been customary to publish the Class E Prophecy, but as the February Class of 1912 has been recognized throughout its short sojourn at the O. N. S. as one of the brainiest, originlaest, ingeniousest, clev- erest, unusualist, inventivest classes that has ever entered these venerable halls, it was but natural that we should expect some thing of especial moment from such an aggregation of intellect and we were not disappointed. Miss Hazel Bohannon, the prophet, by the assistance of Father Time and a wonderful machine, THE FUTURITY-SCOPE, purported to- be the most marvelous invention of the Twentieth Century, varied the usual Prophecy; instead of tell- ing the result of Father Times nurturing, by means of THE FUTURITY-SCOPE, purported to be the most marvelous invention of appear .ten years hence. These realistic pictures were, indeed, a joy and a surprise, and revealed many things that had been con- cealed within the innermost recesses of 1912s brains, but now they like Virgil will have to demean themselves very circumspectly, for they will henceforth be associated with those who not only see the act, but know the thought that prompts the act. Miss Lynn has so often and so emphatically voiced her Views upon matrimony that we all had relegated her to the shrine of Saint Catherine. Alas! Queen was only tltalkingf, The Futur- ity-Sco'pe revealed her as the head of a familyf Miss Hyde, unlike Miss Lynn, was living up to the solemn pledge taken when she entered the Oregon Normal School and was still wteaching the young idea how to shoot? Miss McAlpin had deserted her vocation, llteaching? and was devoting her entire time and attention to: her avocation, llbaseball? Miss Morrison, whose oratorical ability had been recognized by her being selected as Class Orator, was now using her powers to bring men to justice and was revealed as a judge of the Supreme Court. Miss Strachan, who won undying fame as editor-in-chief of tlThe Norm, had used to advantage the knowledge gained, and was editing one of the. leading periodicals of the day. Mr. .Sacre, whose greatest ambition was to measure six feet, had succeeded in some unaccountable way and was revealed as a giant. comparatively. . MISS Bohannon,the prophet, did not escape and the Futurity? scope told us that she had taken up the ideas and dress of the new woman. . , Some of.th.e class have been loudly disclaiming the accuracy of the predIct10ns of the Futurity-Scope, but the Fates have so decreed, and .let me warn you, that any attempt to frustrate these pred1ct10n w1ll be fraught with dire results.

I ' h NINETEEN T H E N 0R M Ollaaa 75mm; HE February graduating class. of nineteen hundred twelve was organized at the opening of the Oregon Normal School, September eighteenth, nineteen hun- dred eleven. This, the first class to receive Standard Diplomas under the new regime, feels it is, indeed, honored; and I, as historian, realize the difficulty of the task in hand When I undertake to write the history of a class, the individual members of Which have already made it famous in the annals of the O. N . S. It is customary in writing a class history to follow the class as a unit through its various years of labor, recounting great feats accomplished, great difficulties overcome, and great obstacles surmounted, so the world may know and never forget What fame was brought to the school by the most famed of the many famous classes that have graduated from her halls. In writing the his- tory of this graduating class, I have had to depart from the usual order on account of the short duration of time since its organization, but not on account of its lacking any of the attributes which make a class famous, and have written the individual his.- tory of each member. The difficulty of this task can be appre- ciated When I tell you there are six girls and one boy in the class. It is a matter of historical record that the greater the per- sonage the less accurate the facts concerning his early life. Homeris birthplace is only a matter of conjecture and Shakespearean stu- dents have searched in vain for accurate information about the childhood of the Bard of Avon. The members of the class of 1912 have evinced this element of greatness to a degree undreamed of by the greatest of the great, and I have found it impossible to gather any information as to their early childhood. These young ladies are very hazy as to their age, how long they were in school, how long they have taught, in fact, so indefinite have they been as to anything concerning themselves, that I have had to draw upon my imagination, based upon their actions here in Normal for my information, but the old maxim, iiActions speak plainer than words, will have to serve THE NORM ' a TWENTY as my guide and I shall reveal the past as I see it reflected in the present of each. ' I shall begin by asking you to travel in spirit with me to York State and there you may imagine a. black, curly-haire-d little girl going to school. She is tall for her age, but very delicate in health. She is sensitive and cries a great deal, which causes her teacher much annoyance. It was not long, though, before she overcame her timidness and studied so diligently as t3: become leader of her class. Her inquisitiveness together with her negative disposition which disputed any information tOId her unless it could be proven to her satsfaction, led her to ascertain the truth avaut everything. Very early she developed a great love for liter.- ature, the studying of which has been her greatest enjoyment through school. By the time she finished high school, everything 'of. any worth had been read by her; While attending the N ovrmal fSchool at San J olse, California, she maj Cred in English, for it was her. one aim to teach literature. Her good judgment, which she displays on every occasion, led her to choose the Oregon N olrmal School in which to complete her professional education. Recog- nitian of her ability was early shown by the students of the O. N . S. and she was elected President of the Student Body as well as President of the Senior Class. Miss :Lynn has filled each office . admirably and we know will carry the fame of the O. N . S. to the uttermost parts of the earth. The next member of the class is a true Oregonian, being born in Independence some few years. ago. As a child we see the same smiling countenance which wins her friends wherever she goes. After graduating from high school, she attended the Oregon Normal and received her diploma in nineteen hundred nine. After teaching two successful years, Miss Blolhannon decided to take a post-graduate course at the Oregon N ormal and joined the class of nineteen twelve. She was elected Vice-President of the class, and her brief soij Oaurn among us has made it pleaSant for each t- and every one of us. as I see a little girl in my mindis eye, not soi many years ago, starting to school. It grieves her very much to leave her dolly at home and she declares it must learn something too, so why not TWENTY-ONE T H E N O R M take it to school. The imperative Iino from her parents deters ' her and she consoles it saying, iiNever mind, Dolly, I shall be yolui' teacher when I return home. All through school she is inter- ested in teaching the little Iito-ts,i and when she finished high school, was advised to attend a normal school, which she did and graduated from the Oregon Normal in nineteen hundred nine, making a specialty of primary work. When the Oregon Normal re-opene-d, Miss Hyde enrolled and took pcast-graduate work, again specializing in the Primary Department. She was elected Sec- retary 0f the class and has kept a faithful record, which I trust will be suitably cared for by our executors. The next member of the class has shown so many sterling qualities that it is hard to picture her other than she is today. Imagine her as a child without any faults. Very early she learned to count everything and gained the name of being the youngest mathematician in the country, rivalling the famous Sidis and his four-dimension theory in her mathematical demonstrations. A1- ways diligent she soon climbed to the top and we find her attend- ing the Oregon Normal in nineteen hundred nine. The school closing, the next year she attended the normal at Bellingham, Washington, but when the Oregon Normal re-opened, she enrolled immediately, thus showing her loyalty to. our dear 01d Normal. We see her capable not only in mathematics but in everything she attempts. We judge this by the great success she has made of the iiNo-rm, of which periodical she has been Editor-in-Chief, and much of the success of the publication is due to. her. Miss Strachanis propensity for mathematics was acknowledged by the class when they assigned the iiClass Will to her, for they realized she would make an equitable division of the vast estate which has been accumulated by the class of nineteen twelve during her few months at the O. N. S. The next member of the class was born somewhere in the East, but has gotten the Western spirit in an astonishingly sho'rt time. Some years ago, but I am baffled to even surmise how long or how short, I see a very sedate Miss starting to school. She knows her A B Us and how to. count to one hundred, but has an abun- dance of patience for those who do not know them. Her little girl friends like her, but stand somewhat in awe of this young lady who seems to know so much and to: do every thing so well. T H E N O R M TWENTY-TWO While she enjoys playing Some nice game With her playmates, she is never seen in anything Which has a touch of ttrowdyisrhfj' Her hair is always tidy, her dress just so; these characteristlcs, Which denote calmness and placidness, show all' through her life. She has a wonderful memory and recites at the church and at SCth'l functions. I hear her speak of finishing colleges and. uni- versities, but if we had never heard this we would know she was highly educated by her language, Which is always the essence of culture and refinement. 'We are glad Miss Morrison came to the West to take her N ermal training and teach the boys and girls of Oregon, and feel that the class of nineteen hundred twelve is to. be congratulated upon having her as one of its members. The class recognized her-ability by selecting her as Class Orator. Our next member, a boy, is seen starting to school very young. He is nervous, ambitious, cannot wait for the Wheels of time t3 pass, so he insists upon starting to: school. He learns rapidly. His teacher is ever at her Wits end to. know What to have him do next, for leisure spelled mischief With this lad. As he grows older his special delight is to: torment his teachers; Patience, a few punishments and by the time he is through highscho-Ol, the worst is over. Realizing that he would be able to interpret readily v signs of mischieVio-usness in boys and girls. fram his own prac- tices, he decided to take up the profession of teaching, and his success proves that he made no mistake. His characteristic, not being able to wait, is still the same, for he could not wait until after the graduating exercises to begin to teach and Mr. Sacre is now busily engaged in this time-honored vocation and is prin- cipal of the 'Laidlaw Public Schools. ' a e The last member of the class being the Historian, is, as his-t torians usually are, Without a history, so- will now close this book Which tells of these illustrious graduates, and trust that the name and fame of nineteen hundred twelve may long endure, not for herself, but in' order that she may prove her undying interest in the Welfare of the Oregaln N oer'mal School.

N. S. Will receive diplomas; With these diplomas comes the realization of the respon- sibility resting upon 11s as graduates of our beloved institution. Our every act Will reflect credit or discredit upon our Alma Mater. Realizing this let it be our aim to live up to the high standards set by those Who have preceded us, so that the words ta graduate of the Q- N. S? Will always stand for the highest and best in our profession and in life. You ask What is the best in life; What is worth While? We answer, the first thing that is trurly worth While is to live, not THE NORM i THIRTY yesterday nor tomorrow, but teidaiy. Dr.'Trumbu.11 says, itToday is for all that we know, the opportunity and occas10'n of our lives. Oh what we do 01' say today may depend the success and com- pleteness of our entire life struggle. It is for us therefore, to! use every movement of today as if our very eternity were dependent on its words and deeds? ' . Live, live today; do'n,t wait till tomorrow to- smile 01' do that little kindness; tomorrow is only another today. It is worth While to see the beautiful in nature, the handiwork of our Master; the good in eur fellow beings; and to! fill our place in this great universe, even though it be a humble one, With happy and contented hearts. Worry should have no place in our lives. Ruskin says, tiGod ' gives us always strength enough and sense enough 'for everything he wants usito d0. , . . Success, What is success? The question is beautifully and truly answered by Mrs; Stanley: ttHe has achieved success Who. has lived well, laughed often and'loved much; WhO has gained the respect of intelligent men and. the 10Ve of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; Who has left the world- better than he found it, Whether by an improved poppy, a. perfect poem or a rescued soul ; Who has never 1ackedappreeiation of earthis beauty or failed to express it ; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; ths-e life was an inspiration; 'Whose memory a benediction? - Let us all live, then, so that it may be said that success in. these better, greater things, is surely ours ; and make our lives such as Will bring hcmo-r both to ourselves and our Alma Mater. L. S. CIL t A mural $rhnnl 1gmhlvm ' T is a liong-admitted fact that one Of the greatest diffi- cultles to be overcome in the rural school problem is that of the overcrowded program.

Only a skillful and tactful teacher can do this successfully, and suc- cessfully only When she has the school during several consecutive terms. This condition does not exist in most of our rural schools. The general rule is ,a new teacher each year. It is very difficult for a teacher to take up the work Where her predecessor left it the year before, unless the grading system was strictly adhered to. And so, after consolidation, probably the next best step towards solving the problem is to- keep the teacher as long as possible. But even this step is far distant for many distriets. Can. we not do something for such districts now? The writer has a theory for one more step. To be direct and specific, let us take arith- metic in grades five to eight inclusive. The pupil is supposed to know the four fundamental operations. From the beginning of the fifth to the completion of the eighth grades, many topics are taken up, but most of them do not have to come in any regular order. Let us divide the four years work into, thirty-two divisions, numbering them accordingly. Give corresponding numbers to a like number of columns of a chart. On each cross line place the name of a pupil. Then in the four grades, have two, or possibly three, classes. tOften there are eightJ When a pupil has com- pleted a division satisfactorily, check him off for that topic on the charts. If he fails in any particluar division, let him go: on With the class, but dc: not credit him on the chart for the topic in Which he fails. When the next lower class gets to that point, he can take it up With them, or probably he Will make it up individ- ually. It seems that this plan might work With several of our subjects. It has not been officially endorsed by the Normal, but is merely the personal ideas of the writer. E. R. P. i THIRTY-TWO STUDENT BODY OFFICERSw-Top Row: Sergeant, Secretary, Treasurer. Bottom Row: Vice President, President HE students and Faculty of the Normal have been made happy by the advent of a new Victrola. Miss Harlan is ever willing to make it, sound forth its sweetmelodies and everyone is becoming familiar with the worlds best music. ' The speeches in Chapel during the past month have been many and varied. The otratio-ns of the Seniors have been exceptionally good. The following are the speakers and their subjects: Alice Morrison, iiLaurel Wreaths ; Albert Sacre, iiColnservation W J essie Hyde, iCulture and Serviceii; Hazel Bohannon, iiPr'oblems 0f the Pacific Coastii; Lexie Strachan, itT'he Character of Lincolnii; LOauise McAlpin, iiThe Postal Savings Bankii; Queen Lynn, iiDickensi Characters as Met in Real Life? The talks given by the outsiders were also enj eyed. Mr. Owens spoke upon iiThe Value of a Dollar? and gave some new ways to look upon the coin. Mr. L. R. Trlaver, formerly principal of our Training School, also gave a very enjoyable talk. . The first Faculty address was given J anuary 4, by Mr. Gentle, and was highly appreciated by everyone. His subject was, iiBe a Democrat? However, it was not of a peilitical nature. Another feature of the Chapel exercises was the gymnastic THIRTY-THREE TH E N ORM - drill by the pupils of the fifth and sixth grades, lead by Miss Wilcox, the physical instructor. To say they did well is putting it mildly, for the gymnastic students of the Normal were ashamed of themselves after having seen this drill. The reception given by the Faculty was a great success. One Olf the pleasant features of the evening was the advertisement guessing contest. Punch was served throughout the evening, and the orchestra disbursed sweet music. It was with some regret, for all wished the evening had been longer, that the guests said good-night. ' a A good deal of interest was manifested in the nomination and election 01 studentbody officers. The following are the newly- elected officers: President, Sara Mickelson; Vice president, Esther Clolpeland; secretary, Inez Stark; treasurer, O. B. Kraus; editor- in-chief, E. R. Peterson; business manager of llThe Norm, Frank M. Sturgill; sergeant-at-arms, James Gentle; members of the executive board, Ruth Two'hy and Carlotta. Crowley ; athletic man- ager, J . J . Brown; yell leader, J 0e Bolgynska; assistant yell leader, Carlotta Crowley. The voting took place in room 2, from 12 to 1 oiclock. A bunch of sandwiches, pickles and coffee was served, so that no one needed to go home for lunch; the proceeds went for ltThe Norm? On Thursday before Christmas, an entertaining play was given in the Chapel by the Normal students. A feature of the evening was the Christmas tree upon which were presents for each student, the names having been previously drawn. These were not to exceed ten cents, so a great deal of fun was indulged in. After this a dance was given in the Gym. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Sacre and son departed during the past week for Laidlaw, Oregon, where Mr. Sacre h0llds the position of High School principal. These young people will be missed immeas- urably by their many friends here, but we all unite in wishing them success in their new home. The Student Body has passed a resolution to attend only those dances which are under the immediate chaperonage and super- vision of the Faculty. - Miss Agnes Clark has been unable to be with us during the past week, owing to the recent illness and death of her sister- in-law, Mrs. Allan Clark.

Miss Morrison gave a most excellent talk in favor of teaching Domestic Science and Manual Training in the schools. She convinced everyone of the necessity of these useful arts being taught. It was of great educational value to the stu- dents and everyone evinced great interest, as it is one of the most talked of subjects in school circles. President Ackerman and Mrs. Ackerman were welcome Vis- itors in our last meeting. Mr. Ackerman was called upon to talk to the society. Hand clapping greeted this announcement for the students are never so happy as when listening to our beloved Presidentts genial words of cheer and advise. Miss Mickelsoxn, president of the society, asked the members to write an original song for the society which would be put to music by Miss Harlan. Miss Ewing wrote the following clever toast to the Vespertines which twill be put to music: Loved Vespertines!

This was the first regular meeting after the . holidays, and although the schoel work had scarcely begun, the d work in the society was most satisfactory. President and Mrs. Ackerman were present and at the literary program assured us '. that our work was excellent, which was very encouragind. Miss U Parrott gave a most interesting talk ioln tiThe Value of Reading. 'v After the literary work was concluded, the society adjourned to U the Chapel, where we were pleasantly entertained by Miss Har- .i lanis kindly playing a number :of choice selections on the new Victor talking machine, a New Year7s present which awaited the students on their return after the; Xmas hqlidays.

The fol- m ' lowing members among the Normals took part and acquitted them- m selves with much credit: Brown, as Santa Claus; Sacre, as Jack a A Frost; Ostien, as The Mischief Finder; Gentle, as Mistletoe; and m J . F. Botgynska, as Chauffeur CD for Santa Claus. $. 4 On account of a miX-up in the dates, the last meeting in . '.T s a December caught some of the members rather unprepared. Not- a withstanding this, Sacr'e gave a good talk on the duties of the 1 teacher in relation to the material de-V-e-IOpment 0f the Pacific Mg. a Northwest. President Acke-rman was a Visitor at the meeting, M and on invitation gave a talk bristling with strong points on the ' building up of an ideal rural sch 001. The society extended a hearty w vote of thanks for the timely talk, and an urgent invitation to! the k... President to visit the meetings at any time. TM ' At the meeting J anuary 5, Work introduced and defended in Hau a well-outlined argument a resolution that the present-day molv- N. ing picture shows are a benefit to; society. The resolution met with considerable opposition and, was sharply discussed pro: and con for a half hour by J . F. Bo-gynska, Ostien, Stur'gill, Peterson and Professor Ostien, the critic. On coming to a vote the resolu- tion was adopted by a narrow margin. At the last meeting in J anuary, Ostein will defend a. resolution on the. government ownership of the telegraph, and Browne a resoulutlorn in favor of a J apanese exclusion act. F. M. S.

Two Normalites were enjoying the night, When through the air came sounds that gave them a fright. They stcspped and listened With bated breath, Then laughed and decided not to be scared to death, For it was only the Senior babies singing, And through the air the terrible sounds came ringing. The N ormalite-s they spied and then they ran, For its not often they can serenade a man. The poor faculty then came in for their share, And this is about all that this night they did dare. They returned to their homes and perhaps did sigh, To think that never again they might try The magic effect of curls, ribbons and such, For school teachers do: such things? Not much!

In order to give the meeting variety, we answered roll call with our favorite American author. It was interesting to note that of the modern authors Harold Bell Wright was the most popular. Miss Peery had an excellent review of the play. Miss Ryan gave a most interesting character sketch of Rosalind and Miss Brown read the iiSeven Ages of Manii in a pleasing manner. After the general discussion, the club adjourned for the social hour. A Shakespearean guessing contest added much to the pleasure of the afternoon; Miss Clark carried off the honors, which was a copy of some of Shakespeareis writings. The hostesses, Misses Hesse, Hurlburt, Anderson and Mrs. Coindon, served dainty refreshments. The roll call of our next meeting was answered by New Year's resolutions. These resolutions were very interesting and, if they are only partially carried out, we feel it will mean much to: us. The study for this meeting was tiHamletfi Miss Copeland gave the review and Miss HouX read Hamlets Soliloquy, itT'o be or not to be, both of which were greatly enjoyed by the club. The general discussion concluded the business meeting after which Miss Harlan gave us a pleasing program on the Victor machine, and Misses Dunsmore, Clark, Peery and Bohannon served the dainty refreshments they had prepared. F ORTY TWO Missionary Ch., Vice Pres., 'President.,:Treas., Bible Study Ch., Sec This organization is now fairly started upon the years work with thirty-five members and others coming in at each meeting. The members are all enthusiastic workers and will no doubt prove a great power in the school. The purpose of the Association is to shed an influence for good upon the lives 'of those about it. It is evident that'at the present such things are apt to be for- gotten in the rush of seemingly more important duties, so this Association tries to bring higher things into direct contact with daily tasks. Certain parts of the Bible are to be studied and discussed. Usually one person gives a talk and the members 4 respond to questions and a general discussion is encouraged. So far there have been two meetings; both were held at four dclock. At the first one Miss Parrott and Miss Morrison gave interesting talks ; and the officers, as hostesses, served chocolate and Nabiscos. . At the second, Thursday, December 11, a. very enjoyable talk was given by Miss Grace Davis, her subj ect being iiThe Y. W. C. A. in Greely College? Miss Harlan played a number of selections on the Victrola, and delicious light refreshments were served. The Association feels very grateful to Mrs. J asobson for her kindness in presenting the very ornamental and useful articles of furniture, which make the room so cozy and homelike. It is hoped that many members may be added during the coming months. A hearty invitation is extended to all young women of the Normal.

Miss Brown and Miss Yoder entertained the Sophomore girls at the home of Mrs. Cornelius, January 13. After the weekly mending was properly finished and put away, the hostesses handed each guest a stick of gum with the request to chew the same. It was with fear and trembling that the girls obeyed the command, for when they remembered certain chapel lecturesefree ones at thatethey did not know whether to chew gum in. public or to be rude to the hostesses, was the lesser evil. After much medita- ticm CD they decided, if they were supplied with two sticks instead of one, they might indulge. 'When everyone had worked so diligently that their jaws ached, the command came to make a pig rout of the gum. After the-supposedly-pigs were finished and put up for exhibition, it was decided that Miss Hovux should receive the prize, moire gum, as her pig looked the most ttcul- turedfl Games of various kinds were the entertainment of the rest of the evening, and itlast but far from least? dainty refresh- ments were served. Two of the Junior girls, Misses HO'UX and Benson, were the guests of honor and so have their hose darned once more. The girls all hope they will get to chew gum again. The Sophomores are willing to take the plums that fell to their class at the election on January 15: Mr. Gentle represents the class as sergeant-at-arms; Mr. J.

Basketball is itlooking up. We have had two live games during the past month. The first, with M. H. S., was played on December 15, the N ormal defeating the High School by a score of 29 to 27. Practice was interrupted by the Christmas holidays, but has been resumed with renewed Vigor. On January 12 a game was played with Independence High School. As not enough of the Normal boys had been practicing to make a full team, two outside boys were put in, and proved them- selves enthusiastic allies. But in spite of the combined efforts, the game went to I. H. S. by a score of 14 to 4. Lack of practice accounts for the failure, and we feel sure that by the next game the score will be reversed. Coach Craven is arranging for other games with several teams, and we will try to amuse the sidelines. A few weeks ago Miss Wilcox gave an exhibition of dodge ball drills and a basketball relay race. This exhibition was exception- ally fine, and we expect to have another in the near future. The girls are practicing basketball, and are looking forward to! several inter-class games. They played a game of German batball on J anuary 20.
