Senior History

^í^^*^***'^ HIS, O wise and witty readers, is a story—a new' and wonderful story—a Ê story quite different from other stories—a story of the Sagacious and ^ ^ Judicious Senior class.

Once upon a timie, there came to this school two hundred ambitious Juniors who courageously stepped forward to obtain their pink slips. Since this class was such a large and ungovernable body there was need of a code of laws by which it could be governed. Hence a constitution was adopted and an exciting career begun.

As an outlet for its vivacious spirits, the class gave various social events, one being a party to solemnize the rites of All Saints Day. Ghosts, witches, and brownies held sway and the masked audience passively did their bidding. Fates were revealed to many and each person went home joyously anticipating the future. Thus ended theirfirst enterprise. During the winter months they were entertained at many delightful affairs, but not until the balmy month of May, did their zealous spirits burst forth once more with an eager desire to plan something for the seniors. Their searching minds finally caught hold of a tangible form of entertainment; namely, a lawn party. When the day of festivity arrived, the audience, gathered on Morey Hall lawn, gazed with fascination at the dancing maidens who were dressed as groups of Dutch Maidens and Kate Greenaway girls. After this outdoor merrymaking was over, the guests were w'elcomed into the living room of Morey Hall, where delicious refreshments were served. And thus ended their second contribution to the social life of Winona Normal School.

But do not think for one moment that this ambitious class stopped with merely a social success, for it did good work along other lines. The championship for basket ball came to it; and this was not a result of a dozen girls’ continuous practice; it was due to the enthusiasm of more than one hundred people who supported the team with their class spirit. Neither was a wider public spirit lacking, for when the senior class found it impossible to purchase the wonderful memorial which they longed for, this class generously assisted them in procuring it, thus depriving itself of the joy of selecting an object which might represent it in years to come. How'ever, the members of the class have not regretted their action in this matter for the memorial was worthy of the combined support of two classes. It is a drinking fountain, designed and modelled by Miss Guernsey, our instructor in art. This fountain received second recognition at a Chicago Art Exhibit for its ideal conception of child nature. It is the figure of a child expressing pure delight and pleasure in his own activity.

The senior year, on most occasions follow'ed practically the same course as last year; the social events have been very charming, the basket ball championship has been seized once more, and the various organizations have been carried on very efficiently. However, a different phase of work has been important in the life of the classbecause it entered upon those activities which are peculiar to seniors. Since this is the three hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, the class decided to commemorate it by presenting one of his dramas, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Besides being prepared as far as the acting is concerned, the class has fortunately secured an orchestra under the direct leadership of Mr. Colburn. For these reasons, it is confident of a beautiful final performance. The class is looking forward to the night of the baccalaureate service w'hen Miss Maria Sanford is to address it; with no less enthusiasm is it anticipating the morning of June 2nd, when the graduation exercises are to take place. It will be a time of sorrow in that the presentation of each diploma will mean the separation of that individual from the school as a whole; but of joy, in that each person will have both a feeling of satisfaction, and of responsibility in being prepared to enter upon the problems and successes of life.

And this, O wise and witty readers, ends the story—the new and wonderful story—a story quite different from other stories the story of this Sagacious and Judicious Senior Class. - 12 -

Time; May 1, 1936

Place: Winona Normal School Chapel

WENTY years ago there was attending this school a young lady, who after graduation spent some time in the study of cleaner athletics. About ten years ago this individual was called to Radcliff to become coach of the rowing crew.

“I take great pleasure in introducing Dr. P. A. Randall, who will speak to you.”

(Much clapping of hands.)

“President Maxwell, Members of the Faculty, Women, and Men: It is indeed with great pleasure that I stand before you this morning. There are a few familiar faces in the student body. I see Miss Coe and Miss Millet, who, I understand, are taking post-graduate work. To my right I see our old friend, Mr. Pett, and I had the pleasure of greeting the text-book librarian. Miss Porter, as I stopped at the office. In two of the seats, formerly occupied by Miss Harriet Z. Campbell and Miss E. Catherine Burkholder, I am delighted to find my classmates, Gertrude Rohweder and Ruth Prentice, respectively. And it does my heart good to see Dr. Moore and Miss Slifer still occupying adjacent seats on this rostrum. I am more than glad to see so manyyoung men at the left wing, and hope the number will increase year by year.”

(More clapping.)

Mr. Maxwell: “In anticipation of the visit from Dr. Randall, I have had Mr. Pett prepare and send out to the members of the notable class of 1916, letters asking for certain data, namely; place of residence, present occupation.

The replies received and tabulated by the text-book librarian will be read this morning. I have also asked Mr. Pett to bring up the class record from which Dr. Moore will read extracts concerning the class of 1916.”

Dr. Moore: “The class of 1916 comprises one hundred fifty members; it is rather difficult to decipher this on account of the writing and old form spelling, but I distinctly remember that class, and that they were very prominent in the promulgation of the Q. Q. Clan, the Winona State Normal School Student Government Association, and the W. S. N. S. A.A. They gave as their class play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” in honor of William Shakespeare’s three hundredth death anniversary. Throughout the time they were at this institution, they were recognized as a class of efficient and original students.”

Mr. Maxwell: “I will now read the tabulated replies, which will give an idea of the occupations of the members of the class of 1916.

We received one hundred thirty-eight replies; nine from women who are at present taking an active part in the work of this city.

(Slight pause)—(The hands of the dear old clock in the assembly room show that the second period has been seriously encroached upon.)

You are now excused to go to your second hour classes.’’

Perforated Rock

A Vacation Trip

I"N the autumn of 1936, Emma Kreidemacher, the designer of neckwear at the Eclat Eashion Shop, New York; and Hedwig Daskoski, successful beauty

^ doctor for the correction of uptilted noses, decide that they are deserving of a vacation. Accordingly they leave their work to their respective assistants. Lela Brown and Elsie Lutz, and start on a westward trip. A week is at first spent at the Adirondacks—quiet, but not lonesome for whom should they discover there but Anna Cole who has just finished a delightful new book on “The Experienees of Hazel Waldron and Josephine Kaphusman at Mexico University.” Anna joins them and they continue their journey. At Chicago the guide of their sight seeing party points out to them a place of especial interest. Uncle John’s Institute. Great is their surprise and pleasure as they are met by the Dean of Women for she proves to be Henrietta Block. They visit the various departments and find Anna Uglum instructor of foreign languages. As they are about to leave, they come face to face with a dignified, cultured lady who is none other than Celina Pilger, the financier of U. J. I. having acquired great wealth through the invention of a new pay roll. Mildred Jozwiak is at St. Paul anxiously waiting for the legislature to grant her wish of getting the ‘whack’ out of her name.

Dear old Winona is next on the program, and the Normal the first interest of their visit. However, but one of their classmates is associated with this institution. Avis Kroehler is assistant in mathematics, but spends much of her time filling otherwise cancelled Lecture Course engagements. Esther Girod at the State Bank is keeping cool (Kuhl) in business. Altho all the states have adopted Woman

Suffrage, LoveringElannery refuses to admit that this is just the right thing. Consequently the travelers are permitted to hear a public debate upon that question by that august Hibernian and Mrs. Pankhurst’s successor, Imogene Leslie. Wagner’s “The Mastersingers is to be given at the Opera House. They will not miss that since they learn that James Bush appears as ‘Walter,’ and Esther Kroehler as ‘Eva.’

The westward trip continues now for some time in an aeroplane. Spying a cozy little cottage nestled in a grove of trees, they alight for refreshments to find themselves the guests of the former Leah Sweazy who has now happily settled down to A. Woods. They are not greatly surprised to find Ellen Vetsch at Colorado Springs taking treatments for the rheumatism in her wings.

Erom ocean to ocean this Winona Normal Senior High School Class of 1916 has scattered; for, at Los Angeles is Marie Moran, the faculty of a domestic school of but two pupils. Here also Agnes Kelly is experimenting upon a system of moveable alarm clocks.

Plans for the erection of a new city hall are in progress under the supervision of John Katowski. Inez Ingalls, a society favorite, confides to them that she aspires to be a M. R. S. (whether Master of Rural Sociology, or Mrs., they know not for certain, and hesitate to ask.)

Junior History

came. The trains rolled in and two hundred fourteen brand

Juniors, gathered from seven different states, arrived in Winona. We proceeded to enroll; with a dollar and a half clutched in one hand and a roommate by the other we started out to find our niche in this small hall of fame.

We saw. We looked about to see what manner of place we now inhabited. We liked it; we liked the blue bluffs and castellated crags against the blue sky; we liked the river and the picturesque lagoons; best ofall we liked each other and the school, the city, and the people. The sincere welcome and kind hospitality ofthe eitizens, shown us in their churches and homes reconciled many a student to the coming year.

After the first rough sailing of a week or two, the class steadied to its course, drew up a constitution, and elected to office the following:

President

The festivities, which have been the joy of the year, began whenthe seniors^ remembering homesick pangs of a previous year, gave us a get-acquainted picnic across the lake. Even the students usually as enthusiastic as a pan of milk were -42 -

as fervent as real estate dealers over the wonderful scenery. Thereafter “Daddy”

Holzinger’s walking parties, originally planned for the Elementary Science Class, found themselves accompanied by a quarter of the school. On the evening of October thirteenth we gave our Hallowe’en Party, to escape committing heresy by breaking cherished traditions, (per instructions from the Seniors.) The Senior Party given at Christmas time was a charming affair, and the Kindergarten Club Party, in March, was especially clever, both in entertainment and decoration. So, although we may live in an atmosphere where the “Psychology of Melancholy” would be regarded as frivolous reading and even the most serious minded would not exactly consider the Winona Normal School a pleasure resort with study permitted, yet there are many bright spots to lighten the gray days of work. The Winona Normal School is itself in play as well as work; where the institution is really unique and original, however, is in the beautiful friendship which exists between the faculty and thestudents. To be sure, time has taught us a few things—for instance,—that the only truly handsome man on the faculty reads literature of a decidedly yellow hue; and that the sweet-faced, motherly looking woman to whom we planned to tell our troubles, away back in September, caused a good many of those same troubles. Indeed she was the inspiration of the following Junior metric masterpiece

To Miss Sprague

After Kipling (a long way after)

When thelast exams are finished. And the records are yellow and dried; When the oldest “star” has vanished. And the last of the failures have died.

From the gold covered gateway of heaven

To Hades red cindered path

They will dream for aeons and aeons. Of those awful classes in “Math.”

And age after age shall pass by them. And centuries fade in their flight; Till the last bright star of the heavens. Has dimmed in the depths of the night. As long as the flicker of memory

Flares up in their tortured past Will the ghost of those classes haunt them

And the horrors of “Math” will last.

We conquered. We look forward to next year when we hope that our “strong left wing” will be doubly, yea, triply strong. All this year we have entertained, and been entertained; lectured, and been lectured to; worked, and been worked; andhave won the right to look forward to using next year’s Juniors as doormats. We rejoice in what we have won; for the chant we chant is a true one, that all of us love to sing.

Every cloud has a silver lining. Every June its graduate. Every class must have an ending. Every term must terminate. When you grasp long sought diplomas. Sometimes harken to our call. Join with us your hearts and voices— “She’s a great school after all!”

The Rhyme of the Junior Kindergartners

One bright September morning, twixt hours of eight and twelve We Junior Kindergartners came, with eagerness to delve Into a field of study we thought would prove great fun.

(Alas! our joking days were over, our work had just begun.)

Many of the teachers, in grave and stern array, Were seated on the platform, and they had much to say!

They asked us why we came to school; undaunted, we replied, “We came to learn the infant mind.” (Oh, how those teachers sighed!)

Then up spake our dear Prexy, and asked us with concern,

“Now, can you really study; and are you quick to learn?

“About observing all the signs you must not be remiss.

“The most important one ofall reads, 'Please to step on this.'

“So every time you're walking, past the book-shelves in the hall,

“If you can spare the time, I wish that you'd upon it crawl.

"Do you shake ink upon the floor, or whistle, or make noise?

“Or do you loiter in the halls and visit with the boys?

In shocked and grieved accents, we pleaded innocent. And then he gave us all pink slips; and after that we went And hied us down to Kratz’s, drank sodas numberless; Talked over all the teachers—(we liked them, we confess!)

A week, we sang and ehattered; it almost seemed a shame - 44

To waste our studiousefforts at anything so tame.

Then plunged we into Child Lore, and struggled for a week. So deep and difficult it proved, it left us very meek.

But when our elder sisters gave a picnic Saturday, Our spirits rose to greater heights; we threw dull care away. We gaily hiked across the bridge, and there among the hills. They fed us buns and wieners—oh! well remembered thrills!

Our new-found friends advised us to study with a vim; And oh! the way they counseled us; ’twould make a fellow grin!

With astonishing alacrity we got our class together.

Elected all our officers ; then asked our elders whether

They'd come to our next party, dressed up as children sweet.

You bet they came most willingly; their speed was hard to beat.

One day Miss Slifer asked us if we would dramatize

The famous play. Pied Piper. You should have heard our sighs!

A fearful panic siezed us! The boldest cheek turned pale!

But confidence returned once more. We simply could not fail!

So as Mayor and Corporation, parents and children, too.

Little lame Jan and the Piper, we soon made our debut Into the world of drama; and if we had the time

We'd like to tell of our success. Believe us, it was fine!

The Kindergarten teachers a lively party gave You'd realize the fun we had could you have heard us rave!

Well, some of the days are dreary, and some of the days are long. But most of these we brighten up by singing a little song; For who would not be happy singing a song like this, “A caterpillar crawls and crawls, or “Whose little thumb is this?

Well, now we've told you allabout our work and recreation. And it's high time to end our rhyme, for soon 'twill be vacation.

Department of Rural Education

HE Department of RuralEducation of the Winona State Normal School was organized under the direction of Mary Ensfield in the fall term of 1915. The purpose of the department is to train teachers to teach in rural schools. A rural school curriculum consisting of two years’ work beyond the high school is offered. Courses are given in rural school methods, rural sociology, rural teaching, and rural home economics. One hundred and one students have taken courses in the department this year. In co-operation with District number 87, Gilmore ’Valley, Winona County, the Normal school m,aintains a rural training school which is in the charge of Miss Georgie A. Cook. In the spring of 1915, the district purchased a small farm of seven acres which had on it a good farm house. This house was remodeled and is now used for the school house and teacher’s home. The first floor consists of the school room, manual training room, kitchen and lunch room, cloak rooms and toilet rooms. The second floor provides a convenient and pleasant home for the teacher. The normal students who go to the school to do rural teaching, live with the teacher during that time and have an opportunity to participate in the community activities which are carried on, for the most part, in the school house. Under the teacher’s direction a successful Earmers’ Club and Mothers’ Club have been organized.

The Admonition of the Hills

A hill said to another hill, “This is my valley that lies between us;’’ But the other hill was vexed.

“No,” it said, “it is my valley;” And the hills disputed and became more angry; And dark storm-clouds gathered above them; And the storm broke. And shrieked about the crags. And descended into the valley. And laid it waste.

Then the God of the hills— ’Who is your God and my God—

Reached out and took one ofthe hills in the hollow of His hand. And He put it behind His back. Then He whispered to the hill that was left, “Behold thee now thy valley;”

And the hill looked and the valley was not.

Then God said to the hill at His back, “Look thou now down upon thy valley;” And the hill looked and the valley was not.

And God returned the hill to itsancient place. And, behold, the valley was there again.

And God was silent; For He knew that the hills knew What He would have said; But the hills did not know whether God Himself Could remove the scar of the storm which the quarrel had brought To shriek about the crags. And to descend into the valley. And to lay it waste.

Y. W. C. A.

HE Young Women’s Christian Associationof the Winona Normal School m has shown a marked progress during the last two years, having reached m, Æ a membership of eighty students and several teachers. Its purpose,— to bring to young women a more abundant life in a fourfold way,—physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual,—is very broad.

Our devotional meetings, missionary work, and social times are the most important activities in our school life. Regular meetings are held every Monday afternoon in Society Hall. At these services many interesting and inspiring talks are given. Our social functions this year were opened by a Frolic given for all the members of the Y. W. C. A. In November, the beautiful initiation ceremony was held. This was followed by a banquet and a social time. We have tried in every way to co-operate with the city association. On Sunday afternoon of the Jubilee week we marched in the processional and secured the Mendelssohn Club of the Normal School to assist in the singing. Their Sunday afternoon vesper services have been found very helpful.

We help support both foreign and home missions. A delegate is sent to the National Students’ Convention held everyyear at Geneva. In order to meet these expenses of the organization we have had several candy sales which were very suecessful. We have also increased our funds by organizing and having printed a Students’ Directory which was sold for a small sum. This was a new feature in the school and has proved very useful. Beside the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all the students and teachers, it contained the names of the officers of all school organizations, the social calendar for the year, and also the names and addresses of local doctors and dentists. It has been a very handy and helpful book to the school in general.

We feel that our success this year has been due to the fine co-operation of the students and teachers in this work. We hope that it may be carried on even more successfully next year.

The Kindergarten Club

'OLLOWING a suggestion made by Miss Sutherland, the Junior and Senior Kindergartners met, ‘early in September, to discuss the advisability of forming an organization composed of the members and instructors of the Kindergarten department. Tradition forbade the abolishment of separate class activities, but the wisdom of an organization to further the social and educational interests of the department as a whole was universally recognized. Accordingly, the Kindergarten Club came into existence with a membership including Miss Sutherland, Miss Holmes, and Miss Schwable, instructors in the department; Miss Samson and Miss Staples, members of the school faculty most closely connected with Kindergartners; and possibly the alumni, as well as the Kindergarten students.

The club is very informal in its organization. The officers are a president, chosen from the Senior class; first and second vice-presidents, the presidents of the Senior and Junior classes, respectively; a secretary, a Junior; and a treasurer, a Senior. The officers this year are Miss Irene Davey, president; Miss Effie Strelow, first vice-president; Miss Grace Ferrey, second vice-president; Miss Evelyn Ellingson, secretary; Miss Roberta Wright, treasurer.

Though satisfied with the results of this year’s endeavors, all are extremely ambitious for the future of the club, feeling that through the association and cooperation of a wide-awake group, a great community service of value to little children is possible.

The Forum Literary Society

HE Forum Literary Society began its work soon after the opening of school p by the initiation of the new members. The work decided upon for the year was the study of the short story under the direction of our faculty advisor, Mrs. Chorpenning. The meetings are held every two weeks with good attendance, great enthusiasm being shown, and the varied programs well repaying the earnest effort on the part of the participants. As one of its social activities, the Forum entertained the Tri Sigma Literary Society at a Valentine party. The members of the Forum feel that the work of the year has been highly beneficial.

The Tri-Sigma Literary Society

HE wish expressed in the Annual of last year that the successful and conscientious work done by the Tri-Sigma might continue through this year, may truthfully be said to have come true. Since there were only twelve former members to start the wheels and work up enthusiasm in the society, it is remarkable that such splendid work has been done.

Literary programs of a very high standard were held every alternate Saturday evening. These programs, usually enlivened by one or two musical numbers, consisted of papers on the lives and works of many recent and present day writers. Among the most notable of these programs, were those on Riley, Field, Kipling, Lady Gregory, W. B. Yeats, and J. M. Synge. During Edison week an interesting program concerning the achievements of this great man was enjoyed.

The pleasure, and profit of Tri-Sigma was not confined, however, to its own members. Occasional open programs welcomed everybody. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas time, delightful parties were given to the entire school, the one presenting to its guests a charming series of pantomimes from Miles Standish, the other entertaining by readings from Dickens’ Christmas Carol and the singing of the songs of the season.

We are sure that each member of the society feels that he would not have missed one of the good times, whether social or literary.

The Country Life Club

The Catholic Students' Club

HIS club, made up of fifty-one active members, is one of the foremost organizations in our school. For the past five years, it has fulfilled its three-fold purpose of providing intellectual, moral, and religious encouragement for those who were and are enrolled as members. Meetings are held every Wednesday evening, in the St. Thomas Hall. Here, many helpful lectures have been given by the parish priests and books have been read and reviewed. The social season was opened early in the school year at a “Get Acquainted” picnic breakfast across the lake. Herethe girls not only got acquainted with each other but also with some of the beautiful scenery for which Winona is famous. Later in the year, informal suppers were given and evening parties held. Each one of these functions proved to be a great success.

It is the earnest wish of all the members of the club, that this organization may continue to do as efficient work in the future as it has done in the past.

Music

HE year has been eventful in a musical way, carrying with it many pleasant m memories of things accomplished and enjoyed.

We have in the school this year four musical organizations: the Mendelssohn Club, St. Cecilia Society, McDowell Club, and the Lyric Club. The members of the Lyric Club are: James Bush, Morrow McNickle, Earl Kirchstein, and Paul Baumgartner.

Throughout the year programs illustrating the music of Russia, Hungary, and Poland have created an interest in the music of the nations engaged in a great conflict. A splendid program of old English music was given the lastof April in commemoration of the birth of Shakespeare. The “Mendelssohn Annual” was, as usual, greatly enjoyed by all who heard it. The McDowell Club, under the supervision of Miss Edna Troxel presented the operetta “The Conquest of the Nations.”

As a culmination of the year’s work, the St. Cecelia Society assisted by a Male Chorus, with Miss Smith as director and Miss Boley as pianist, presented the opera “Aida.” It was a wonderful success and was largely attended.

The purpose of each study is to make the school familiar with a work of importance, and so prepare the way for a better appreciation when given by a group of professional singers.

F. G.

HE work in Household Arts, under the efficient guidance of Miss Folger has received an additional impetus during the past year by the Department being given a new and permanent home. The Department is now ready to receive all friends in five, bright, attractive rooms on the first floor of the main building. These include a recitation room, a cooking laboratory, a dining room, a fitting room, and a sewing room. The splendid equipment throughout has given increased opportunity for more thorough and advanced work.

A new field has been opened through the organization of a class dealing with rhe Rural School Lunch Problem. This phase of the work is comparatively new but promises to be of much help to students specializing in Rural Education. For practical experience the class has served one hot nutritive dish each noon. At an approximate cost of one cent per day for each child, thesedishes have been served to all children bringing noon lunches from home.

The class in Cookery II was busy during the winter term serving breakfasts and luncheons. The guests were appreciative and the praise so generously given was gladly received. Few realize the hours spent in careful planning, the wakeful nights preceding the eventful day, and then the anxiety with which each dish is prepared. We seniors do, for we have been through it. When one stops to consider that breakfasts for four were served at a cost of fifty cents and luncheons for six for the small sum of one dollar and a quarter, one looks with suspicion upon the incessant cries of those who struggle with the High Cost of Living. The members of this elass co-operated with Mr. Maxwell in giving an eight course dinner to the March graduating class.

The Sewing classes under the capable leadership of Miss Grover have excelled their usual high standards. Exhibitions have been given from time to time, showing the work done in the various classes. The girls of the school have learned to look to the sewing department for the earliest intimations of the spring styles.

The Household Art Club organized last year has pursued its social activities throughout the year. One. of the enjoyable events was a dinner given by Miss Folger to the miembers of the Club. Plans are being considered for a re-organization of the club by which we hope to increase its membership. This will be of advantage as “strength lies in numbers.”

We seniors have been led by our work in this department to understand and appreciate fully Milton’s words:

‘Till by experience taught, the mind shall learn 1 hat, not to know at large of things remote From use, obscure and subtle, but to know That which before us lies in daily life. Is the prime wisdom." N. N.

Industrial Arts

HE Industrial Arts Department has enjoyed an unusually successful year under the guidance of Mr. Sandt. The department is much larger than it has been before with regard to both space and numbers.

The handwork division has been moved fromNormal Hall on third floor and now occupies three rooms on the first floor. The classes are very large and have made many beautiful and useful articles in basketry, weaving, and clay work. There is a large class in Mechanical Drawing which has done excellent work. The members ofthe class in Advanced Wood Work have made many useful articles including a dressing table, piano bench, music cabinet, library table, telephone stand, chests, writing desk, china closet, foot-stools, and serving trays.

The new elementary school has a very well equipped department in charge of Mr. Abram which furnishes exceptional advantages for observation and practice. The city schools depend upon the department for students to teach Industrial Arts in the different schools.

An Industrial Arts Club was organized during the winter term for the purpose of discussing the different phases of Industrial Arts. The Club is composed of the twelve students who are speicalizing in Industrial Arts. Meetings are held every two weeks from which a great deal of benefit and pleasure is derived.

The Athletic Association

^OR the first time in many years, the management of athletics at the Normal School furnished a problem. Whenthe men entered last fall, they brought with them the desire for inter-school athletics. They began to look around for some sort of an organization to back them, as men’s athletics require rather large amounts of money. They found that a Women’s Athletic Association had been formed the previous year. When the men asked that the association be made a general one, it was found that some of the women objected. These thought that if the men were admitted, men’s athletics would predominate and the women’s activities would be forced into the background. All the women were willing to help the men in their activities, but some desired two separate organizations. After a short time, the members of the Women’s Association agreed to place the matter before the whole school and abide by the decision of the student body and faculty. President Maxwell gave the chapel hour for several days for an open discussion of the proposition that a general Athletic Association be formed. At the end the motion to that effect was carried almost unanimously. A committee composed of an equal number of men and women with Miss Ensfield as chairman, was appointed to draw up a constitution. The result of their efforts was the formal foundation of the “Winona Normal School Athletic Association.’’

Briefly, the plan is this Each student is asked to join the Association, the fees being fifty cents for one quarter, or one dollar for the whole year. The payment of this fee entitles one to the ordinary benefits of a society and also to admission to all contests held under the auspices of the Association. The offices are rotated between men and women in alternate years. The final authority in the Association is the Board of Control consisting of equal numbers of men and women, and three faculty members. The student members are chosen from the Junior and Senior classes. The Board of Control consists of the following: Arthur Tarras, President; Madalene Teeple, Vice-President; Earle Jewell, Secretary; Mr. Moore, Treasurer; Anna Studt, Mildred Hodgins, Downing Ellison, Cyrus Jennings, Mr. Abram, Miss Samson, Miss Veitch, and Maude Ford.

BOARD OF CONTROL

OF DIRECTORS

The Women’s Branch of the Athletic Association

HE women, feeling that their athletics were of a different character from those of the men in being inter-class rather than inter-scholastic, and desiring some individual control, continued the Women’s Branch of the Athletic Association, under the authority of the constitution of the general association. Every woman belonging to the general association thereby became a memberof the Women’s Branch.

At the first meeting the following officers were elected Anna B. Studt, President; Margaret Armstrong, "Vice-President; Gertrude Greene, Secretary; Ruth Palm, Treasurer. The board of directors, authorized by the constitution to carry on the business of the Branch subject to the control of the general athletic board, is made up of the officers of the Branch, the physical director ofthe school, and the managers of the various activities. These activities include swimming, basket ball, volley ball, baseball and tennis.

It is hoped that through such an organization as this we may be able to get all members ofthe school interested in athletics. Eavorable results have already appeared. The members of the Branch showed fine co-operation and a true spirit of loyalty this year by supporting the men’s sports as well as their own.

The Dramatic Club

HE Dramatic Club was organized last fall by a group of students and teachers who desired further study of the drama. Weekly meetings have been held throughout the year, at which intensive study has been given to plays of interest. The Club presented to the school Lady Gregory’s “The Workhouse Ward” during the fall term, and planned several other productions, but stress of work prevented their presentation. It is to be hoped that the instructive work of this club may be carried on by an earnest group next year.

At the first meeting of the Club, Maude Ford was elected President and Harris G. Pett, Secretary. Much credit is due to Miss Mary Slifer for her untiring efforts to make the work of the Club helpful to the members.

To the Bluffs in March

Ye bluffs—ye monuments of time and space— Within my mem’ry, still ye grow and grow And ever fairer are. Your sapphire bow Extends above, in brilliant cloudless waste. Your summit, crowned with birch trees, and the base And sides, one wide expanse of spotless snow; A picture only God’s own mind could know. He only fashioned for the human race— The white so like His radiant purity The blue. His symbol of unfailing love; And winds among the birches snowy limbs Make music which I know for Nature’s hymns.

Telling to man, that there’s a God above And through Him, man shall find eternity.

Esther Dunham.

Normal Football 1915

The football season for the Winona Normal School can rightly be called a successful season. At the call of the coaches, Messrs. Abram, Moore, and Dickerson, twenty Normal men appeared in suits to enjoy what was to be their first football experience. Inasmuch as this was the first year football had been in existence in the Normal, enthusiasm among the students and faculty ran high. The men of the team were faithful and persistent in protecting the good name of the Winona Normal on the gridiron. Credit for the showing of the first football team of the school can well be divided among the coaches, the young women of the school, and the football men themselves. With this combination, it could hardly be expected that we would have anything but a successful year.

Captain-elect Tarras, in speaking of next year’s prospects, says, “Football for the coming year looks very favorable. We expect to have at least six veterans back on the team, which will serve for the general backbone for a strong defense which we so much lacked this year. Although we did not have a very successful year as far as scores go, we went through the season showing marked improvement. At the end of the season, the general opinion of local athletic fans was that the Normal School next year should have a great team.

With fiftv or more men to pick from, we ought to have a team that will clean up everything, E.B. J.

Normal Basket Ball iqi6

T'HE 1916 page of basket ball history is certainly a good head liner for the first season of interscholastic athletics played by the Winona Normal. The entire schedule of eight games was won and upon the failure of St. Cloud Normal to meet our undefeated team, we feel justified in claiming the Normal championship of the state.

To the second team, give the credit of loyalty, hard work, and a good first team. Russell, Conrad, Robb, Katowski, Bush, Page, Syvertson, and Drysdale.

THE 1916 SCHEDULE

The story of eight victories and no defeats:

St. Mary's College.

Coach Abram's words are: “With a successful season as a precedent experienced men, next year should find the Winona Normal near the front in the athletics of the state.

Captain Dickman speaks: “If next year doesn't see one of the best teams in this part of the country, it will be because something radically wrong has prevailed in our ranks. With all of this year's team back and some of the new material that is coming, the Normal will have one of the fastest basket ball teams in the state.

Dickman, Right Forward Buswell, Left Guard Russell, Substitute Flannery, Left Forward Tarras, Center Libby, Right Guard

TheTeam

"To the team can be given every good word for the honor that they brought to the school and to themselves.

Herbert Dickman, Captain and forward.

To our captain, can be given great credit for the fine showing of the Normal team of 1916. Through his leadership and playing ability he was able to lead his team to the championship. Captain Dickman was formerly the star on the local high school team and was one of the shining lights at the State tournament at Carleton College two years ago. We consider “Dick” one of the best floor men in thesouthern part of the state.

During this season Dickman shot 32 baskets and 11 free throws. 75 points.

Arthur Tarras, Center.

Enough cannot be said of the ability of “Moose” in floor playing and basket shooting. He was at one time the pride of the local high school and is now experiencing the same reputation at the Normal School. Tarras can move his 180 pounds with great rapidity on his well founded and substantial bipeds. To him can be given the glory for the high scores of this year’s team.

Tarras, during the season, shot 62 baskets and 4 free throws. 128 points.

At the beginning of the season Libby played forward but he proved to be better on the defense than on the offense with the result that he filled the guard position during the last part of the seasifn. To him can be given a great deal of credit for the low score of our opponents. It was through his floor playing and handling of the ball that the Normals succeeded in rolling up their high scores.

Libby made 4 points for the team, shooting 2 baskets

Lovering Flannery, Forward.

Flannery came to the limelight in the last part ofthe season. It was at this time that he showed his real basket ball ability. Although young, he is an “old head" at basket ball. He was one of the standbys of last year’s team and one ofthe valuable men of this year's aggregation. He is good on defense as well as being more than efficient on offense. Flannery scored 5 baskets and 1 free throw. 11 points.

Burr Buswell, Guard.

One of the best guards that has ever put on a basket ball suit, was Buswell. He could not only keep down the score but he could pass the ball, play the floor, and “fight.” He was a “goer’’ all of the time and his good work should receive the highest praise. He held the reputation of being one of the best guards of the City League last year. It can be said without dispute that he can still claim this honor for his work of this year.

Buswell shot 3 baskets. 6 points.

'THLETICS! The mere mentioning of the word attracts the attention of every member of the school. There is a reason for this interest; the department of physical education presents a phase of school life which is both enjoyable and highly beneficial. The work is so arranged that during the Junior year each person is assigned to certain classes in floor work which are to form the basis of his physical education. During the senior year, however, the members of the school may select according to their own preferences, one of the following: swimming, aesthetic dancing, volley ball, baseball, and tennis. The majority of these classes have been under the supervision of Miss Samson, our physical director, because of whose untiring enthusiasm our keen interest and willing co-operation have been created.

The work ofthe year, naturally falls into two groups, the one including the work of the fall and winter terms, and the- other composed of spring activities. The work ofthe fall term commenced with the organization of basket ball teams. Although many a young woman could not be a member of a team, her interest did not lessen; she felt that her duty lay in assisting vocally and doing it in such a way that our high standard of “good fellowship" and “gameness" might not be lowered. During the season, five match games, instead of the usual three, were played and true to the spirit of our work—which guarantees good, even playing—at the end of the fourth game each side had won two games. The last game which necessarily broke this tie, was in favor of the seniors; loud were the victorious echoes which rang forth from the north side of the balcony and lovingly was the brush held which traced on the basket ball “Seniors 1916, Champions" for we know that it was this same team which last year was the junior champion team. Though our class thus held the glory throughout our stay, let it not be imagined that the players of 1917 are of poor metal. Right well did they play and right well will they keep the high standards of play and work, for which our Alma Mater stands. The spring term has ushered in a different set of athletics, including swimming, indoor baseball, tennis, and gymnastic dancing; and these are now claiming the attention of the

majority of young women. Under Miss Veitch’s able supervision, indoor baseball is coming into its own at Winona.The students are working hard to have strong, fast teams to represent them in the big games which are to be played sometime toward the end of the spring term. The swimming classes are also planning a contest to show to the school the progress which has been made. Although the tennis tournament was an impossibility last year on account of the continual rain, the committee is anticipating an exciting event when it takes place this year, since there are to be games not only between the young women, but also between the student groups and between the students and faculty. A loving cup will be presented to the winner in the Class A players, and a school pennant will be given to the winner in the Class B players.

Of more importance than the outcome of contests and the winning of prizes, is the enthusiasm with which the students of the Winona Normal School enter into the athletics. Although the number of persons in the school has not increased in a very marked degree, the size of gymnasium classes has approximately doubled. In the case of baseball, where a large number of girls is required, there has been no drawback through scarcity of candidates for there are four times as many young women registered as there were last year. There is also a marked increase in the number who take swimming; this is made possible by the fact that the new elementary school provides a center for the men’s activities, and the young women have the use ofthe entire gymnasium equipment in the library building. The fact that this increase is due to the pure enjoyment of the classes is obvious when we hear the question asked, “May I join a swimming class, even though I am taking baseball and tennis?” This enthusiasm accounts for the fact that this department of education is not an isolated unit; it co-operates with all of the phases of school work. This year, the unusually beautiful class play is going to be made more effective because ofthe aesthetic dancing class in which the young women have gained grace and ease in their interpretation of beauty, through dancing. Then, too, at nearly all of the school’s social gatherings there is some phase of the physical work represented—dances, pantomimes, and games are always on call. This enthusiasm and spirit of co-operation, enriching activities where the game of “fair play is actually played, marks the department as one of great service to the school.

My Alarm Clock

Beside my bed old faithful Ben doth stand

All set to chime the hour at which I rise

And then I close my tired, weary eyes

To enter through the gates of fairy land: When lo! upon my ears alarm bands

Burst forth in loud, repeated, urgent cries. And I give vent to such despairing sighs

When I behold before me those two hands. But after all when I am up and dressed. And know that I have barely time to seek

A slim repast, ere I to school must go, I look upon my clock, the little pest. With grateful heart, and press it to my cheek. Assured that it’s the best of friends I know.

The School Picnic

Sing a song of picnics

Baskets full complete. Twenty score of people Walked, and then did eat. They went to every table. First dropped down a dime; Helped themselves to all good things. And had a splendid time.

A Thanksgiving Party

ON the last Friday evening of the Fall Term, the Tri Sigma Literary Society entertained at a delightful Pilgrim's Thanksgiving Party in the spacious living room at Morey Hall. One and all were cordially welcomed at the entrances by quaint Puritan maidens who took care of the needs of their guests.

Promptly, at a quarter after eight two Puritan maids drew aside the curtains that hung in the large double doors, disclosing the portrait of Miles Standish. In quick succession the portraits of John Alden, Priscilla, Rose Standish, the Ship Master, the Indian, and many pilgrims were shown to the delighted guests. As these personages appeared, and later, during the presentation of the scenes. Miss Lenora Krogh read the poem, "The Courtship of Miles Standish. Through the efforts of Mr. Earle Jewell as Miles Standish, Mr. Vincent Conrad as John Alden, Miss Viva Amundson as Priscilla, MissRoberta Wright as Rose Standish, Mr. Cyrus Jennings as Ship Master, Mr. Walter Cassidy as the Indian, and many fellow Puritans, we were made to feel the beautiful sentiments which have been so vividly portrayed in the poem.

A piece of Mrs. Potter’s famous apple pie surmounted by a snowy mound of ice cream refreshed each of the many Pilgrims and their friends. Good old-fashioned songs soon floated from the music room and were taken part in by every one until the rooms rang with the strains of "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes, "Love’s Old Sweet Song, and "Good Night Ladies.”

The Children’s Christmas Party

Back and forth rocked the Dean in her comfortable chair. As she rocked she saw, not the drizzly lonely, Sunday afternoon, but a Children’s Christmas Party,—a tree for the children in the Day Nursery! Little details and plans followed the idea as fast as the rats followed the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and then came the sharing of the lovely secret.

The night before. Mamma Ruggles told the little Ruggles’s how to behave; but it was not about using a handkerchief and leaving their short walks at home. Oh no!—not in this day and age. Artistic grouping, courtly manners, and informality, were the themes for this time the little Ruggles’s would entertain.

The last candy bag was on the tree; tops and wagons, dolls and ribbons, trunks and games, were ready for the tiny hands. As the doorbell rang a hundred little twinkling lights, helping to relieve the hurrying ushers, guided the way to the enchanted corner. Mothers, directors, normalités, and children—who enjoyed it most?

As the notes of a Christmas carol sounded from the music room, a hundred voices took it up—hearts and minds were on the hills of Bethlehem. Then came the children’s story, "The Golden Cobwebs, told by a dear little kindergartner. The reading "The Night Before Christmas, followed and it was so realistic that we could almost see St. Nick. A carol was the signal for Santa Claus to appear, and the tenderly solicitous old fellow found gifts for all.

It seemed that the crimson poinsettas which shaded the living-room lights, had cast a rosy spell over young and old, for though it was a week before Christmas, the Christmas spirit had come and it was most welcome.

A Christmas Hour For the Kindergarten Club

Before a softly glowing fire in the living room of Morey Hall one evening shortly before Christmas were gathered the members of the Kindergarten Club and a few of their friends. As the strains of the well known carols of Yuletide drifted from the piano they were responded to by many clear voices. The “Legend of St. Christopher, and the “Story of the Golden Cobwebs told by Miss Sutherland, and Miss Sipple, respectively, helped to make the spirit of Christmas prevail in the heart of every one.

The guests of the afternoon ineluded President and Mrs. Maxwell; Miss Alma Binsell, former director of the Kindergarten Department; Mrs. Hannibal Choate, for seven years a teacher in the Kindergarten; and Miss Packard, also for several years associated with the Kindergarten work here.

The tea cups were presided over by Miss EffieStrelow and Miss Marie Fietsam who graciously administered dainties over which we exchanged Christmas cheer and greetings.

Ice Carnival

I nspiration came to Morey Hall,

C aused by thrilling tales, enthusing all;

E choes from King Boreas in St. Paul.

C ame a hurried looking up of skates

A nd a cancelling of outside dates.

R osy cheeks, bright eyes, and sweaters gay,

N odded on every side at close of day.

I cy rink, bright lights, both hard to beat;

V ictrola music thrilled the flying feet.

A fleeting time, but such a happy one!

L ong may its memory dwell! It was such fun! G.G.

St. Valentine’s Party

February 12, I9I6, dawned a.beautiful day and a busy one for the Kindergartengirls; for was not this the evening that they were to be hostesses at a Valentine’s Party? The entire school was invited! All day important looking personages and mysterious looking packages might be seen entering the Library Building.

We arrived at the appointed hour and were greeted at thedoor by the welcome information that there was a handsome valentine for each lady and gentleman if she or he would but step to thePost Office to claim it. The ”shy were taken care of by some kind guardian angels who hovered about the room. Great was the enthusiasm and delight expressed over the dainty Valentines and much speculation was offered as to what the numbers might mean.

At the sound of the first chords of the Grand March, we took our places in the long line which was most cleverly led by Miss Schwabel and Miss Sipple. After wending our way through many pretty and intricate designs we gathered in groups, according to the number on the Valentines, at the various booths where we enjoyed Kindergarten games and stories. At the shrill note of the whistle, the merry groups moved on around the room coming under the spell of enchanting Kindergarten teachers. Great was the merriment when some of the Faculty tried to become Kindergarten children once more and toss a ball through the ring, etc.

Eight winsome Junior and Senior girls in colonial costume danced the ever pleasing, stately “Minuet.’’ One appearance was not enough for those who watched the graceful movements, and the dancers were enthusiastically calledback.

To make a perfect evening more perfect, the guests were refreshed with delightful fruit jell-o and heart shaped sweets. From the piano then floated the old college melodies which sent us home with merry hearts.

Frolics of the Women’s Branch

The Women’s Branch of the Athletic Association has had two frolics this year. The first, a Bloomer Party, was held in the early fall. Before the party was in full sway, charming folk dances—which had been learned in the gymnastic classes—were given. The main feature of ^ the evening’s entertainment was an indoor meet which consisted of miniature contests in baseball, basket ball, and many other exciting games. The most thrilling and breath-exhausting struggle was the one on a four foot gridiron. At first, the obstinate crockie marble simply would not be blown between the goal posts but finally it slipped past the guard’s defensive straw and a goal from the field was scored. Other games of the evening were as cleverly carried out.

The other rally took place one cold, snappy morning in January. The young women arose betimes and once more gathered in the “gym, this time for breakfast and fun. New yells and songs were learned and after the general frolicsom.e sports, the group of one hundred fifty girls formed a large circle and remained in that form while refreshments were served. As the “eats disappeared, speeches were called for and a rousing cheer arose when Miss Samson, who was the last speaker, finished her talk on ‘‘good sportsmanship, for we knew that it would be thelast time she would talk to the Women's Branch this year.

We are glad that these two parties were so successful and we are confident that the social times of the spring term will be equally delightful.

There are many kinds of love. As many kinds of light. And every kind of love. Makes a glory in the night. There is love that stirs the heart ^ And love that gives it rest; But the love that leads life upward Is the noblest and the best.

Henry Van Dyke.

The Legend of Maiden Rock

HE evening sun was long since down, and the twilight was setting into deep shadows over the elm-bark lodges of the Indian village of Keoxa (Homestead.)

Softly, softly as breathes the whispering of the willows overhanging the dark blue waters of the Mississippi, stole the little birch-bark canoe, in the shadows of the high bluffs. The chirping of the grasshoppers in the marshes near by, the singing of the crickets, and the croaking of the frogs, were music to the ears of the maiden, as she plied her paddle, sliding silently and swiftly into the little cave. Springing lithely upon the soft sand, she stood for a moment, listening intently, while a smile slowly spread over her dusky features. For was she not rewarded? Was not that the cry of him whom she loved best in all the world, her GreatHeart? Though young in years, his deeds of fame were sung by all; and cowering fear came with the mention of his name by hostile tongues.

“My Wenonah,” he cried clasping her to his heart, “what does thy father, the great chief, say to you? Because I am a brave, and not a chief of one of the bands, as is Black Hawk, he, who is the Father of this nation, listens not to my words of love for you!”

“Oh, he will not listen to me, my Great Heart. He desires my union with BlackHawk. But I love no one but you. We must go afar off, to the Lake of the Tears, where we can roam in peace together. Tomorrow at sunrise, we will go with the wind!”

In the center of the circle of lodges, stood the lodge of the old chief Wahpesha, the greatest and bravest of chiefs, and father of the seven principal bands of the Da-Kotah Nations. His was the largest of the group, and all were built of elm bark laid upon a framework of poles, and decorated about the doors with dried skins, and bloody scalps, and other symbols of hunting expeditions and war parties. They were pitched on the swells of rolling land, and guarded on the weaker side by the waters of a small inlet, and its opposing bank. Here a stalwart brave stood sentinel, or paced his silent rounds.

Before his lodge and surrounded by the chiefs and braves of his tribes, sat the old chief Wahpesha in the twilight. As was their custom in the case of an impending union, a council had been held. A signal by the chief was made to close the council, and obeyed, for promptly with one voice, they decreed that Wenonah, the chieftain’s daughter, should wed the brave ‘‘whose brow was deckedand armed for fight.” The chieftain spake:

‘‘"Wenonah, my daughter, come!”, and she, the flower of all the tribe, as graceful as a fawn, in her fringed and flowing robe, came and stood beforeher father.

“I bade thee, cheer the feast with gourds of cooling water and savory nourishment, and thy bridal robes prepare. As she listened, Wenonah breathed a low and whispered moan, and dared not look at Black Hawk, whose bride she could never be.

That night, after all was silent, she again sought her lover, and together they planned to flee where they might roam from day to day, undisturbed. So at the first break of dawn, softly they stole out among the wigwams and lodges, stepping so carefully, and stealthily that not even the snapping of a twig could be heard. The guard was safely passed, and running quickly over the remaining uncovered space, they leaped into the canoe and pushed off. But scarcely was this accomplished when they heard wild whooping and yelling, like the roar of battle, as a hundred dusky forms rushed down to the shore.

‘‘Faster, faster,—they gain!”, Wenonah breathed, and with every muscle strained, lest they make some false stroke, they flew over the water. On and on, past hills and valleys, they strove against the swift currents of the river, and glided into the quiet waters of the lake. At last they reached the eastern shore, miles above their native village, but they had scarcely vanished into the thick forest before them, when their pursuers gained the shore. They leapt like a howling band of wolves up the steep bank, and into the forest, hot on the trail.

Past her lover, sped Wenonah, and took the lead up the rocky trail. Near at hand was a rocky summit, a drear and desolate landmark, piercing the blue sky above. Far below the lake sent up a murmuring sound. Wenonah, glancing down, could see the dusky forms, with painted bodies and waving eagle plumes, leaping from crag to crag, her father in advance. He threw one lightning glance above, notched an arrow in his string, and drew the bow. Wenonah stepped before her lover, that she alone, or both, might die if the arrow should fly. She well knew her father‘s aim was true, and by the fire in his eyes, he would carry out his threat.

“My father,” she cried, “rather than give up my brave, together we will seek a fearful grave on the jagged rocks beneath!‘’ He heard, but deigned her no reply, and that howling mob climbed on. With one backward glance, the lovers leaped from the overhanging hill, in close embrace. There was a sullen sound and then, all was still.

The warriors fell back in awe, and a strange chilling fear crept through the old chieftain’s heart. Little dreamed he, that Wenonah, his child of the forest, would prove her love in such a way. Stoically he called his braves, and descending, together they made two hollow graves and laid them side by side.

And every year, in that same leafy month of June, when the round, bright moon shines full on the lake, and the winds and waves are still, two shadowy forms steal out from the rocky cliffs, and in their spectral bark, glide slowly and serenely over the silvery waters. But the whoop and the yell of their fierce pursuers are heard no more.

Fulfillment

ULFILLMENT is a dream come true. Some dreams never come true. Why is it that our frail dreams often perish before they reach fruition? If we could know the cause we could then so fashion our dreams that they would be fulfilled.

A dream is an immaterial concept born in the mind. Lovely dreams, dreams we know ought to be fulfilled, are the only ones we care to consider in this study; dreams of avarice and greed are better left to die. Our dream then is so lovely a thing one would suppose it sprang from something equally beautiful. However, the stimulus which gives it birth is often a sight of misery, of want, or of degradation. So subtle is this stimulus that, without our volition the dream is born. Perhaps it is a vision of children taken out of the sweat shops, of shorter working hours, or of purer politics.

To make the dream live, there must be a desire to have it live, a wish to make it a strong reality. So great must this desire be that we are ready to sacrifice, as a mother is willing and glad to sacrifice in order that her child may live. Unless this desire is there, the dream must die; more—unless the desire is big and vital, the dream must die.

Out of this desire should come the stronger stimulus—will. We need to display a fine enthusiasm and determination and strive on with steadfast purpose toward the fulfillment of our dream.

As we strive there comes a large faith in our power to make the dream come true. Sometimes we may find that ways are open, that hands reach outto help us; new force is added to our will. This helps to inspire us with belief in our power to make our dreams come true. But contrary to this, there often seems to be an infinite number of stumbling blocks to hinder the fulfillment of our dreams. It becomes a real struggle to keep it alive. To dream of accomplishing big, unselfish purposes is one thing and really to strive toward their fulfillment is another, involving perhaps years of constant effort. How much more need we have of faith then! We must keep the vision bright and renew our faith.

Impelled by this faith then, we exercise our will and the dream begins to take form. Every day we may see instances of this magic fulfillment of dreams. Ben Lindsey dreamed of political reform, particularly of establishing juvenile courts where delinquent children would receive proper handling. It was a ten year fight, but it ended in the achievement of the dream. Jane Addams, too, is fulfilling her dream of twenty years ago of bettering the condition among the poor in the slums of Chicago. Dr. Grenfel, a practical idealist, dreamed of efficient hospitals and happier homes in Labrador. He set to work, faced tremendous obstacles, fought great odds, and with remarkable faith and will was able to make his dream a reality.

To be sure there is often a dissimilarity between this materialform and the original concept. Our faith is apt to grow dim and we find our wills faltering when we see that what has been so dear to us in some way failing to come up to our desires. This dissimilarity causes disappointment; our dream isn’t fulfilled. We need to rekindle our courage and determination and go on with a steadfast faith.

Then, finally, the dream grows increasingly brighter; we see a material form of beautiful likeness to our dreams, and we say our dream has come true. The reality is like the dream, and yet so much more vital, withal so wonderful in its completion, that it amazes us. This material form of a dream is fulfillment.

“Tex” Morgan's Championship

IT was early morning. The sun had just peeped over the distant mountains and was smiling down upon the broad aeres of the Barelay Stoek Ranch when the door of the low, tin-roofed "bunk-house” was jerked open and "Tex” Morgan came out and leaned dejectedly against the door frame, looking gloomily at the far off, snow-capped peaks as if they were the cause of his "bad luck.”

"Curse you,” he said, raising his right arm and shaking a mighty fist at them. There was a loud, long laugh within the shed and a chorus of "Who ya’ talkin’ to, Tex?”

"Come out and I’ll show ya’, he said, with a half laugh. There was a jangle of spurs on the wooden floor and there appeared in the doorway a bow-legged, dark-faced individual, greasy and unshaven. He tightened his dirty angora "chaps” and pulled them up, first on one side, then on the other.

"Th’ fella’s wan’ta’ know who yer talkin’ to, Tex,” he said with a "smartAlex” grin on his face. "Taint Sybil, shorely,” was his teasing addition.

"California,” said "Tex,” turning and looking squarely into the dark, greenish eyes of the man, "are you lookin' fer trouble again?”

"Oh, no, nothin’ like that, and "California slunk back into the "bunkhouse” leaving "Tex” to resume his soliloquy if he so desired.

"Tex” closed the door with a bang, and went over to the wash-bench to compíete his morning’s toilet. He splashed the cool, clear water over his face and hands, drew a bright green bandana from his belt and dried them. Then he shook the large square, twisted one corner and flung it around his neck, tying it, with a slipknot, letting the greater portion hang down his back.

The cook’s horn sounded from the "mess-house” and immediately the mountains echoed with the "heo-enings” of the cowboys from the different bunk houses as they came running to their morning meal.

Twenty minutes later "Tex was hurrying with the rest of the men to the corrals. The horses were stamping and neighing with impatience to be off to the day’s work.

"Hey-fellas,” cried a young puncher whom the others called "Hurry,” "just look’y here. The biggest Stampede ever’s goin’ to be pulled off at M July first to sixth. Men will be there from all the ranches in the West! There’s to be cowboys, cowgirls, Indians, cattle, bull-doggin’—buffalo saddlin’—and look—the world’s lariat championship decided with five thousand to boot! Our ranch has been asked to send men.—Well, where’s Tex goin’? Good-night! has he started all ready?” and the whole crowd burst into a "fit” of laughter.

A few minutes later "Tex” reined his horse in front of the big, white colonial ranch house, threw himself down from his saddles, and ran to the side porch, for he knew Sybil would be practicing in the parlor.

"Oh, Sybil,” he called, and a pretty, dark-haired girl stepped through the French windows onto the porch.

"Yes, Arthur,” she answered looking down at the eager young man, while her cheeks grew a little deeper pink.

"Oh, Sybil,” he said, removing his hat, "there’s to be a Stampede, and the world’s lariat championship decided with a big stake thrown in. If I enter—and win—then I can buy that land for a starter—but—”

"Oh, Arthur!” Sybil interrupted, "you can win! Father says that you and "California” can put it all over the other fellows when it comes to throwing cattle.”

"California! exclaimed "Tex.” "That’s the trouble. I don't like him, Sybil.

He'll do me dirt if there’s a chance, and he’ll enter—if 1 do. But,” and he smiled, "I can win anything, with you backof me.”

“Of course. I’m in back of you,” Sybil answered and they shook on it. He left her and went to his work, whistling.

A “Great Stampede” is a marvelous sight, and the one at M that year was the greatest ever “pulled off.” Hundreds of cowboys, cowgirls, and Indians poured into the city. Day and night the streets echoed with ranch yells, and the pavements resounded with the clatter of horses’ hoofs. Thousands of visitors from all parts of the country flocked into the pretty valley town, and even walked the streets at night, for want of lodgings in order that they might witness the exploits of cowboy art. Each day they saw the saddling and mounting of bronchos whoreared anddashed off in a wild race around the track—and how they howled as one broncho invariably plunged down the track in the opposite direction!

Breathlessly they watched the bull dogging, that test of strength between man and steer. They saw the riders drive the animal into a “corner, the bull dogger leaping from his saddle, grabbing as he falls, the horns of the steer, twisting its neck until he “downed” it.

Every day lariat throwers were eliminated one by one, until “Tex” and “California” stood side by side, each credited with five horses and riders at one throw.

“California” leered at “Tex” for he hatedthe man’s popularity with the crowd. Already “Tex” had made a name for himself by his powerful throw from his horse, but the deciding test was to cast the lariat from the track. The world’s recordstood six horses and riders. 7/ he could only break it!

Six horses came tearing fast down the track. Tex began to lengthen the loop of the rope, twirling it round and round. Indians and cowboys crowdedaround. Nearer, nearer, dashed the riders. He threw,—and, as if in a dream he saw them disentangle themselves from the rope, while a mighty cheer arose, as if from miles around. “Tex knew he had tied the record, but “California still had a turn. He was getting ready now. “Tex” watched him twisting the rope for the throw. Earther on he saw six horses again starting down the track! Oh, how he hated “California! On, on, dashed the horses. The air seemed to breathe excitement! A moment later and “Tex saw six riders disentangle themselves, and he saw “California” look around at him with a cynical grin. He would have struck the man, but suddenly he thought he heard his old ranch yell,—“Wow-ueup, Tex!” He started and turned as if he expected to look into the eyes of “Broncho Pete, long since dead, whohad taught him lariat throwing years ago when Tex was a homesick boy of twelve on a Texas ranch. Like a shot he remembered a certain twist of the lariat that theold man had taught him—and he then thought of Sybil.

“Bring on seven horses, “Tex” yelled, eager now to make a last attempt to break the record and outdo his rival. The expectant crowd rose to its feet. Seven horses—neck to neck—were tearing down the track. 'With a cry of, ‘"Wow-ueup”

“Tex” hurled the lariat and caught them all!

Hats flew into the air! Men yelled themselves hoarse, for their favorite had brokenthe world’s record! “California” stiffly shook “Tex’s” hand and slunk away into the crowd.

“Tex” scarcely noticed the tumultuous mob that thronged around him, for he wished to see just one, who had known he would win.

An hour later, “Tex” in a brand new black suit was sitting with Sybil in the hotel parlor. He looked at her and smiled.

“Well, Sybil, it’s been some day,” he said.

“It certainly has, Arthur,” she answered.

The Age in Literature

HERE are three traits which appear to be characteristic of our present life. One is the constantly growing feeling of common-sense and freedom between men and women. Another is a sharpened self-consciousness. Growing out of this new feeling, we have power. While these traits are not universal they are nevertheless important and growing factors in our lives today. Without doubt they are all seen most clearly in the Efnited States.

There is a tendency to break down the barriers of convention which divide the sexes. Men and women treat each other as if they felt each other human like themselves, and not different. This tendency is still in its infancy. But it is in happy contrast to the former way of thinking, and to social standards where a man and a woman could not meet like two men, on friendly, sensible ground, but must always have the fact of their respective sexes held up before them and rammed down their unwilling throats.

In this respect our literature is by no means up to date. Even good writers fail to reflect the changed feeling pointed out above. In spite of our newer point of view, we have Ibsen's “Ghosts as an example of what a good and vivid writer often produces. And a considerable number of novels are examples of what happens when an equally vivid bad writer tries his hand. Moreover our magazines are full of such ridiculous trash as Gouvenor Morris writes, or the sometimes horrible and sometimes silly poems of the Ella Wheeler Wilcox sort. These writers are probably governed by two theories. The first is, that men and women are fundamentally different, instead of fundamentally alike; that is, that their sex, instead of their identical common humanity, is the most important thing about them. They also think, secondly, that because every one is either a man or a woman, every one is fiercely and personally interested in the somewhat worn-out question of the relation between the sexes, and cannot possibly be neutral or indifferent. They therefore “write down” to a level that pleases a small proportion of our big, energetic, friendly, peace-loving population.

Another characteristic of the day is our attitude of heightened consciousness both toward ourselves and others. People are interested in themselves, and are introspective. They realize also the existence and separate individuality of others. Probably the two go together—realizing self and realizing other people and things. Not only individuals but this whole age also is conscious of its faults and virtues— of itself as compared with other units of time. The result is a rational and humble self-respect. This attitude is probably more true of our own than of any other period, because it would come with development.

In literature we observe the same heightened consciousness. Our short stories are short studies in psychology; given, a certain personality under certain conditions, how will it act? Richard Harding Davis’s Stories, and Deland's “Old Chester Tales,” are excellent illustrations of this statement, as are many of Kipling's “Plain Tales.” They are not at all cold-blooded, but rather, warmly interested. Our novels are more extensive studies of character, like “The Awakening of Helena Ritchie” and Phillip’s “The Husband’s Story.” It is also to be noticed that writers have a strong tendency to stay at home and write of commonplace people, and facts, and events, as if they saw the significance of them. Noyes, for instance, chooses the commonest material for many of his poems, like “An East-End CoffeeStall,” “The Electric Tram,” and “In a Railway Carriage.” Therefore our literature reflects us very fairly in this respect.

Practical application of this spirit of interest and investigation gives my third point—efficiency. When science feels it we have an age of invention. When industrialism responds to it a tremendous impetus is given to our manufactures and commerce. In society it gives us sociology. Examples might be multiplied. In

short, we have an age of at least potential reform and power; of rational, rather than instinctive, patriotism; and of genuine democ^'acy.

This phase of modern life, also is well shown in present day writings. Every line of interest is fully developed. We have specialized magazines given over to the theatre, to mechanics, to general topics of interest, and to almost every branch of our complex life. Our problem plays, like those of Ibsen, Galsworthy, and Kennedy, and our “moral” novels take up burning questions and either offer a solution for them or present the problem for our solution. The reason we have so much of the sex literature I have complained of is undoubtedly, as pointed out above, that authors believe sex to be a “burning question.” With this exception we hear in most of our authors a note of courage, of power, of realism.

On the whole, then, and of course allowing for many exceptions, our literature is an excellent representation of the life and ideals of the age that writes it.

A Literary Birth

IRELAND'S literature had its beginning somewhere back in the dim dawn of the remembered ages. Evidence speaks the existence of a writing system in that land as early as the thirteenth century B. C. But even then bards were chanting an unwritten literature of tradition.

And on through the ages, the Gaelic literature and the Gaelic language developed and strengthened, until, during that period known as the Dark Ages" of Europe, the Golden in Irish letters was realized.

Then came the Normans and years of destructive warfare—warfare so destructive as to leave scarcely a line of written work survivor of its ravages. So it devolved upon the tradition of the race to maintain the literary heritage that was to endure the most severe of restraint and persecution, and though growing ever poorer, evade until our loudly proclaimed civilized era the death that threatened always. But the famine's mortal thrust fell heavily upon the old of the nation who were the custodians ofthe traditional. And now there are left only relics.

By some strange throw of history the famine came in the last days of Daniel O'Connel, the uncrowned King of Ireland. The great liberator had fought a way for his people out of the darkness of oppression, educational as well as political and religious and had led them to the threshold of an awakening nationalism and a new hope. He had made possible the coming of Mitchell, whose grandson is the present mayor of New York City, of Davis, and of the other famous men of the young Ireland movement.

At the threshold where O’Connel had closed a life of sacrifice, Davis saw. “The popular organization,” he said, “is too exclusively political. It ought to be used for the creation and diffusion of national literature, vivid with the memories and hopes of a thoughtful and impassioned people. It may guide and encourage our countrymen, not only in all which concerns their libraries and lectures, but in what is of greater importance their music, their paintings, their public sports, those old schools of faith and valor.”

Davis saw; and Mitchell’s fiery heart crying irresistibly through his speech and writing in the hearts of his fellow Irish fanned into fiery life the'“secret song’ that persists through Gaelic and Anglo—Irish poetry—the song that whispers of the return of power to the defeated race.” The young men gathering in theold spot by the river to prepare the brief but fierce outbursts of protest against foreign oppression sang the wrongs of Granualle in a music truly national, “the proud and sad traditional Irish music.” It voiced the growth of a national consciousness.

That consciousness Thomas Moore had, unknowingly, voiced in previous years, and numbers of his Irish melodies are characteristically Gaelic. In 1860 this national consciousness became a purpose. And a new literature was born.

Again came a period when political pursuits predominated, threatening to strangle the infant. It was the time of Parnell and the Land War. But Parnell died and the LandWar passed. Opportunity awoke onee more. In answer came a spirited revival dominated by a poet.

The early nineties had come; the new progress was beginning, heralded by the poet, Yeats, who announced himself and the new generation thus:

Know, that I would accounted be True brother of that company Who sang to sweeten Ireland’s wrong. Ballad and story, rann and song; Nor be I any less of them. Because the red rose bordered hem Of her whose history began Before God made the Angelic clan. Trails all about the written page;

Nor may I less be counted one With Davis, Mangan, Ferguson, Because to him who ponders well. My rhymes more than their rhyming tell Of the dim wisdoms old and deep. That God gives unto man in sleep.

Yeats is the man of the generation. He is accounted the greatest lyrical artist among his contemporaries. The songs he sings of homely Irish life are rich and filled with subtle beauty. He is a dramatist too, as “Land of Heart’s Desire’’ and “Countess Kathleen” testify; and an orator—strange of a poet! Also an orator is Russel, poet, mysticist, and editor. That we are strayed heaven-dwellers is his chief theme. The intensely Irish Ireland view is championed byHyde, writing in both Gaelic and English. He has found rare gems of a fading past in secluded nooks less cruelly touched by a modern foreign world. His collection of lyrics shows that Gaelic Ireland possessed a folk literature as beautiful as any in Europe.”

O’Grady has searched the heroic and the traditional of an age so old as to be half shrouded in the mythical.

It may be said that these men broke a long silence, that they found a voice for the secretly long cherished instincts, hopes, ideals of the Celticheart and mind. Surely they stimulated the literary movement. There were many more m.en writing but these four are representative. To their efforts may be attributed in no mean degree the formation of active Irish literary societies of national scope. To them belongs no meagre amount of credit for that yet newer departure the Irish Drama.

The Irish Drama! So far it is the most significant phase of the entire movement. Irish writers first wrote for the London stage but the audience was alien and the plays were cramped until they too were alien. Eor this we must hold guilty the commercialized stage. But now there exists in Dublin the Abbey Theatre. Now Irish players act Irish plays in an Irish theatre to Irish audiences. Gaelic self expression has sincerely begun. And well should the drama express Gaelic instincts, temperament, and tradition, for the dramatic art is the natural art of the Irish Celt. It is the inherent art of a race that thinks in terms of oratory and conversation. To what glory may that drama not succeed!’ For it has been initiated in sincerity and purity of purpose. Already a most reliable authority has stated, “The plays of the young Irish dramatists, and their philosophy of the drama, of acting, and stage effects were in practical protest against the shabby ideals of the

commercialized theatre—a protest that had its effect, thanks to the talents of its dramatists and actors, to the critical resource of its apologists, and to successful visits to England and to America of Irish players.” This is the first fruit of a recently born literature in the English tongue!

Rich, indeed, is the opportunity this new birth offers for the literary student. A rare occasion, surely, when one may observe the infancy and growth of a new literature; and it is of highest inspiration to America in a time filled with impressive portents of wonderful creations to appear in our own land—who knows how soon?

To observe the Irish race adapting to its purposes the English language—the Ianguage of a people severely alien to them in temperament and mental charaeteristics—in order to create a new literature, is the inspiration of ambitious prophesies for our own land.

This Renaissance, moreover, is more than a prophecy. It possesses a sublime majesty all its own. The soul of a literature almost dead to memory has struggled on down the misty course of generations gone, until the time of reincarnation is come. So, tnrough the new literature, a rich and subtle glory gleams, descended from the all but forgotten past.

Really Clever

Dr. Dickerson—Yes they reviewed the day’s work, the week’s work, the year’s work. In fact, it was a regular Review of Reviews.

“Insult, if you must, this old gray head. But your pink slips will show your marks,’’ she said.

Echoes from the Model School

Why Am See A—translated—Y. M. C. A. (also original)

Listen my chidren and you shall hear Of the midnight rush for a pail of beer; Out of the door and over the fence. I’ve got the pail, who’s got ten cents?

For Rent—after May 15th. Office ofthe Joke Editors. On account of slack business, rent will be very much reduced.

What is the relation between a loafof bread and an engine?

Answer

Bread is a necessity. An engine is an invention; Necessity is the mother of invention. Therefore, the relation is apparent.

Miss Samson in B. B.—Eoul on Margaret for snatching the ball. Ruth Ehresman^But I gave it to her.

Sounds from the model school indicate that most of the student teachers would prefer being carpenters to taking a nice trip through the desert.

D. Ellison—How long can a man live without brains?

Mr. Gaylord—I don’t know. How old are you?

The lights in the living room where B. M. and L. P. are, suddenly go out.

L. B.—“Do you hear me? Turn on those lights! If you don’t turn on those lights. I’ll be perfectly furious! Turn on those lights B. I’ll be furious, etc.!’’

E. S.—“Oh, B., did you hear that? Guess I’ll turn them off out here and see what she says.”

(The light goes out)

Absolute silence! ! ! Curtain.

Did you hear that the Germans were naming their ships after jokes? No! Why?

So the English can’t see them.—Exchange.

Some of the boys at this school have a gait on them like our fence—for example, that of Van Russel.

Harris Pett in the new office brings to mind that delightful old refrain—“The Bird in the Gilded Cage.”

Florence E. (in Hist, of Ed.)—They, the Greeks, had their beautiful statuary, and and their baths.

Mr. Gaylord—Well they didn’t enjoy those until the next age.

Miss Smith (at Aida rehearsal)—Let us begin to celebrate “Love’s Powers.’’

Mr. Moore in Civics to Leo Ryan—Wait and we’ll see what the rest of the girls have to say.

She—I can’t get over poor Philip Bourne’s nose.

He—No wonder, the bridge is broken.

She—Wonder how he’ll have it set, Grecian or Roman?

Miss Richard’s hair is in a marcel wave and now she’s all at sea.

M. B.—Isn’t it too bad about Carleton Algier? He was killed by having a train of thought pass through his mind.

The Bells (with apologies to Poe and Miss Slifer)

Little bell upon the wall

Hain’t you got no heart at alL

When I’m eurled up in my bed

And you know I’m nearly dead

Then you ring and jar and jangle

And put my mind all in a tangle Trying my hardest to defeat The supreme faet that we must eat; The knowledge that when your calls repeat Will come the trample of many feet And the girls decorously enter the dining hall. Latei* ? ? No! Not at all! !

Little bell above the door

Ain’t you got no sense no more When you know the class is dry You don’t even want to try To release us from the power That has tried this awful hour

To find out all we do not know When we’ve yawned and stretched and wiggled When we’ve slept and talked and giggled

Till at last you really ring And the teacher! poor tired thing! You’d almost think him overjoyed And wei’ Well we re not annoyed.

We would suggest to Mr. Maxwell instead of:

“Whistling girls and crowing hens Always come to some bad end.’’ the following;

“Whistling girls and bleating sheep Are the best company a man can keep.”

Miss Sutherland, talking to the Sr. Kg. class about noisy streets—“This may sound funny to you but when you have lived in a city you will realize what it means.”

It’s too bad that everyone couldn’t attend the debate held in Psych. II during the winter term. The contestants, Elorence Connell and Paul Baumgartner, held the audience spellbound with their wonderful grasp of the subject “Woman Suffrage.”

Olive had a little lamb.

His fleece was white as snow, For when with Olive, dear, he went. He always scrubbed it so.

He polished it until it shone, —With his shoes he did the same, He scrubbed and rubbed and rubbed and scrubbed ’till he hardly knew his name And when to Olive he did come with face all beaming brightly ’Twas easy indeed for Olive to see if her hat were put on rightly.

Heart Throbs

Dear Miss Koe Ket:

I am madly in love with a young man in this town. He is an Apollo and has a wonderful voice. I feel that I cannot live without him though he is several feet shorter than I am. Please advise me what to do as I have never been able to persuade him to call. F. M. G. The Long Blonde.

My dear girl, if he is so much smaller than you, sneak up quietly, seize him, stuff him in your pocket and rush hastily to a minister. Be sure you accomplish this during 1916.

My dear Miss Koe Ket;

I am writing to ask you if you think it possible for me to win the ideal of my heart—the woman hater—the star athlete—the dream waltzer of the Winona Normal School? Gushingly B. F.

I personally looked over your case and I think your prospects are good unless his conscience begins to prick him when you keep him from his work.

Miss Koe Ket;

Dear Madam Having a very large circle of male friends how can I retain their friendship without causing dissension among them or without arousing jealousy on the part of my girl acquaintances? V. M. S.

I am sorry, girlie, but it can’t be did.

Dear Miss Koe Ket;

There are two little boys at this school whose interest in me bothers me greatly. I have had kindergarten training but these lads are slightly above the kindergarten age and I do not know how to handle them. Any advice on this problem of mine would be greatly appreciated. L. W.

Do not exaggerate the problem in your mind, ignore these lads, and they will soon run home to their mammas I am sure.

My dear Miss Koe Ket:

A young man not quite himself stopped at my place of residence one evening thinking it to be the home of his sweetheart. While I was endeavoring to make him understand that she did not reside at my house, I noticed he was clutching a box of Kratz’ special. Under the circumstances would it have been all right for me to have relieved him of the box? M. R. S.

You should have by all means grabbed it. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

Ruth Leidholm in Hist, of Ed.—“They studied riding, court manners, fencing and other industrial arts.”

Dr. Dickerson—“What do you understand by ‘fencing?’’

Ruth L,—Anyone that’s been in the country knows what ‘fencing’ is.”

Miss Ensfield to Mr. McAneny—“Can you go to the Rural School next Wednesday ?’’

Mr. McA.—“No. I think not.”

Miss E.—“For any personal reason?’’

Mr. McA.—“1 had planned on washing my hair and need soft water and an electric fan to do so.”

Miss E.—“If you people insist on letting little things interfere with this work I shall have to make arbitrary assignments.

"Vincent Conrad (at Senior Meeting)—“The motion to wear white waists and skirts is carried and we must all abide by it.”

Don’t you think he will look cute?

Louise B. (at text book library)—Miss Voelker, I want a package of vanilla paper, please.

Sorry, but you’ll have to call at Watkins’.

M. B.—Are you going to the dance tonight, Sivie?

Sivie—No, I can’t. The fellow I asked can’t go on account of his eyes. He is coming over to see me, though.

M. B.—Funny he can go out but can’t dance.

Sivie—Oh, you see the doctor said that he must stay in a dark room.

Prof. Munson (in Chem. I)—Now the girls may use this in putting up a cake, and let me see where may the boys use it?

Mr. L.—In putting it down.
