Wenonah Yearbook - 1920

Greetings

THE far away day has arrived, and we know not how these long weeks, months, and years have passed. It all seems to have taken place as a dream in a single night; now we are waking,—only remembering the gratifying and uplifting things in our two years. With this remembrance, we find ourselves staring in deep thought, for in recalling our dream we come to the big realization that time and environment are wonderful things to create changes.

We review in our own minds our thoughts, our aspirations, and our deeds upon entering the Winona State Normal School. Unconsciously our present vision of life comes to mind and for the firsttime we feel that what has at times seemed a grind was merely making it possible for us to create our individual powers.

We have had the tools placed in our hands. What are these tools? Are they text books and well outlined note books? Oh, no! We have a chest of human tools given us through the standards and high ideals of our Alma Mater,—and above all we have our friendships with the members of the faculty and our fellow-students. We have for two years been in the midst of those who were continually calling forth the best in us and giving the best of themselves. Does it now seem possible that we can ever be content to live only unto ourselves wherever our life’s work may call us? It seems not, for with the guidance of our Alma Mater we have not only broadened our lives but deepened them to include charity for all.

With the inspiration that comes “with malice toward none,” we must leave with the expectation of getting our share of the hard knocks the world has in store; but with the firm resolve that these shall only play a small part in our lives, and that our Alma Mater shall live and radiate through us, to touch other lives, and through them always others, throughout the ages.

President of Class of 1920.

TO MARY REBECCA SLIFER

WHOSE NEVER-FAILING INTEREST AND EVER-READY HELP HAS SERVED AS AN INSPIRATION TO OUR CLASS, AND WHOSE DRAMATIC WORK HAS HELPED TO MAKE OUR TWO YEARS TOGETHER DELIGHTFUL, WE DEDICATE THE WENONAH OF 1920

Editorial

Something old and something new, Something borrowed but nothing blue.

S The words of this old saying sum up the contents of our book. They can best present to you the Wenonah of 1920.

The Seniors as one body have worked together, played together, laughed together, hoped together, and dreamed together; and in their year book they tell of these things which have welded the class together.

The pictures are those of classmates and teachers, who have worked together in heart and hand for the past two years; the accounts are of organizations, entertainments, and gayeties, which the seniors in groups or as a whole enjoyed; the jokes tell of the fun and laughter that the class put into its school life.

This record we present to you. It is the voicing of what has brought sympathy, understanding, and loyalty between the class of 1920 and its Alma Mater.

A Vision

THE time mid-afternoon of a warm, quiet day in May. I was on Garvin Heights with nothing in particular to do. I sat on the bench at the top of the bluff looking down at the town and Lake Wenonah, thinking of the school and the friends I had made while attending the school. The sun shone warmly, and a light breeze stirred the leaves of the trees on the bluff and lightly rippled the surface of Lake Wenonah. The bees hummed drowsily, and I began to feel a oneness with nature. Suddenly I sat up straight, startled by a majestic, commanding voice from behind me, saying, “Teacher teacher!” I turned quickly, wondering what normal-school girl possessed such a voice. But instead of a girl my eyes fell on a radiant vision of loveliness far surpassing anything I had ever seen before—a beautiful, young woman clad in flowing, white robes like a Greek goddess. At once I thought, “This is no ordinary woman. She is from a world I have never seen.” How I knew this, at first glance, I do not know; perhaps it was an unconscious perception of more than human grace and beauty. She smiled and walked or rather floated, to the bench and seated herself beside me. Too much astonished to do anything else, I could only stare. I saw then that she was not only beautiful but that her whole aspect gave the impression of majesty, force, and intelligence. She smiled again and tapped me lightly on the shoulder with the long, slender wand which she carried.

“Do not be afraid,” she said, “I am the Spirit of Education. For years and years I have dwelt on these bluffs, guarding and directing the destinies of the normal school. The time is now ripe for revelations of the past, and a very few of the future. Do not question; be still, see, and remember all that is shown you. I will tell you this much. I am the emissary of a still higher power. Education is under divine direction and is to assume in the future, a higher place in the life of the nation.”

With wonder, fear, curiosity, and admiration all mixed in a curious hodge-podge of emotions, I drank in her words. She waved her wand over Lake Wenonah. The water stilled instantly and turned to a perfect-reflecting mirror. Then, in the water of the lake, I saw a panorama, as marvelous to me I think, as the Vision of Patmos was to St. John.

At first I saw nothing but the water; then there slowly appeared a group of men listening to a man who was speaking from a platform. The men were seated in what appeared to be a large hall with the seats facing the platform.

“Governor Sibley announcing to the Senate and House that he has signed the bill providing for the establishment of the state normal school system. This took place in 1859 at St. Paul,” my companion announced.

This scene faded away and another group of people slowly appeared. In this group were women and children as well as men. They were gathered on a lawn or grassy place of some sort and seemed to be pledging themselves to support some measure which several speakers were urging upon them.

“A meeting at Winona in 1859 where the people of Winona pledged 87,000 to get the first Minnesota normal school located at Winona,” informed the producer of these marvels.

Again the scene faded and another appeared. This time I saw the opening day of the school, September 3, i860, reproduced in the water of Lake Wenonah. I saw a fine lot of young men and women in the quaint dress of the time troop to the frame building lurnished by the people of Winona and begin the formal work of the Winona State Normal School under the first principal, John Ogden.

In this manner with the Spirit of Education explaining everything, the reproduction of the history of the school passed before me. I saw' the resignation of John Ogden as principal December 14, 1861. Then there w'as a blank for a few moments which, as I was told, was caused by the period of the Civil War, from the resignation of John Ogden to November 1, 1864, at which time the school w'as not in session. Then in rapid succession, but in a manner which impressed itself on my memory in such a w ay that I can never forget it, I saw the rest of the events comprising the story of the Winona Normal School. In brief but intensely interesting and vivid pictures, I saw the reopening of the school under William Phelps November 1, 1864, and the following June the graduation of the hrst class with a large proportion of men. Then came the opening of the main building which is still in use and immediatelyfollowing this scene, the election of Charles Morey as principal. Then I saw Irw'in Shepard take charge of the school as principal. I saw' an iron discipline exerted on the pupils and a changing of the name of the head of the school from Principal to President. The next picture w'as one featuring the presidency of Dr. J. F. Millspaugh, w'ho did so much for the school. Following this, I saw' the administration of G. E. Maxwell to succeed Dr. Millspaugh as president. In this picture were shown the new buildings which had been added to the school, namely the elementary school building, the library building, Morey Hall, the Men’s Club, and the new Shepard Hall in the process of construction.

After I had seen all these things pass before me, the wonderful author of them turned to me and said, “You have seen the things of the past, 1 promised to show' you a little of the future. Behold the school in the year 1950.’’

I looked at the lake and saw' a larger and finer school than had before met my gaze. The library and model school were still in use, but the old main building had been replaced by a fine, new' structure. The block between Morey Hall and the school was no longer occupied by residences, but by a large science and music hall, a men’s dormitory, and a women’s dormitory.

“What you see is the Winona State Teachers College, successor to the Winona Normal School with a four-year course, and a degree for every graduate,” my companion said. “There, teachers are prepared to teach not only facts, and facts, and more facts, but how? to live richly, fully, and for others. Notice the look of animation and high resolve on the faces of the students; and see that faculty member there, who seems to w'ant to reach out and take the whole world in her arms and cure its troubles and woes. See, too, that instructor w'ho w'alks with a halting step and whose bent figure show's long years of service. But do you not see the benign look of satisfaction on his face even though his w ork entailed long hours over books and in the laboratory? And see how the students seem to be getting this spirit of service. Service is the keynote of teaching and, as you see, they are finding it out.”

She then looked at me with a queer, speculative look and said, “That was the last. Take my blessing to the teachers, w'ho are my wards; and do not forget what you have seen.”

She walked to the back of the bench. I looked out across the lake w'aiting for her to say more. Suddenly I missed her presence. I looked around. She was gone. I sat on the bench a few moments, trying to collect my scattered wits; then I made my way slowJy down the bluff and across the lake to the Men’s Club, filled with wonder at w'hat I had seen and thinking of w'ays and means to pass the vision on to others.

Our Dr. Nimocks

DO you have an ache? Or do you feel as if you might have one? Follow the trail, and it will lead you either to an office back of the assembly, or to one on the first floor of Morey Hall, as the time may be. You will rap on the door and upon a gentle “Come” you will open the door and find yourself in the presence of the one physi- cian of a Minnesota State Normal School. When Congress last year decided that it would furnish one normal school in each state with a physician, our school was rewarded for its high standing by being the chosen one. The term of twice-a-week lectures on Social Hygiene was one part of our inheritance. The pink pills and the wonderful health supervision was another big bequeathal. Never before has there been a student body rosier, healthier, or plumper than the one of this year. Flu germs were decidedly scarce at the time when all other schools were being forced to close. Dr. Nimocks has indeed meant much to us, not only for her work as a physician, but for the joy which we have had from her companionship. She is far too modest to have suspected that this was the cause of many of our frequent ailments and the resulting opportunities to call upon her.

HOW many of us connect the word monotony with chapel when we go back in memory to the term of 1919-1920 at the Winona Normal School? Chapel brings, at first, memories of a regular routine consisting of a response, a psalm, and a hymn. But as these first memories crowd into our minds, they bring others which supplant them and we think, “I would not have it any other way.” Although we always did things in the same way and order every day and always knew what to expect at chapel none of us would have it any other way.

W e were often amused at the things that happened in this big family of ours. For it was a family with the fathers and mothers on the platform and President Maxwell as the patriarch in authority. We children of the family were sometimes rather naughty, and brought down the scolding of the chieftain. Of course Bud Barlow had no thought of causing any amusement or attracting any attention when he walked in just in time to plant himself in his seat before the bell rang. And Jean Tawney, we are sure, didn’t see the humor in his oft repeated announcement, “The Pow-Wows will be out this noon.” The Pow-Wows usually were out—not present, gone, delayed, or left behind.

But seriously, we did get a lot of good things from that much-maligned and muchdreaded institution, chapel. As we bring to mind the worth-while things we heard at chapel, the talks by Mr. Reed, Miss Trites, Miss Sutherland, and Mrs. Chorpenning take a preeminent place.

Mr. Reed’s talk on humor proved that he not only understood humor in a technical way but also that he had a well developed sense of humor himself. Mr. Reed very dexterously handled this elusive, effervescent thing. He told us why humor was important and valuable; the difference between humor and wit; besides sandwiching in spicy and often subtle illustrations of his subject.

Miss Trites spoke to us about Americanization in the schools. She pointed out that the future of America depends on the teachers, who must carry the burden of the great work of Americanization. After Miss Trites’ talk, none of us could help feeling that every teacher and every prospective teacher should add another duty to his list of obligations, the duty, or rather the pressing necessity, of Americanizing our foreigners.

Until we heard Miss Sutherland’s talk we didn’t realize what a terrible lot of philosophy was comprised in that one word, beginning. Miss Sutherland led us through a perfect maze of different kinds of beginnings and their consequences, until we thought we were hopelessly lost and befuddled. But with her expert guidance, we finally got through the maze and landed at a place where we could look back and see a large number of satisfactory beginnings, which we had met and conquered.

Mrs. Chorpenning showed us the essential difference between little minds and great minds. She made plain to us that little minds are indoor minds, the kind that see and sense things only in their own way and with their own interpretation. Great minds, as Mrs. Chorpenning showed us, see and interpret things in their own way and incorporate in this the ways and interpretations of the people with whom they come in contact. In other words, the great mind is willing, yes, glad to see the other fellow’s sidein any dispute or argument, while the little mind is not. At the close of Mrs. Chorpenning’s talk, we all joined silently and fervently in the supplication embodied in her sonnet, that we should grow broader and kindlier as the years go by, instead of becoming narrow and bigoted.

Our earnest wish for chapel is that it may continue to grow more helpful and inspiring; and that it may continue to give good things to the students of the future as it gave to us in the past.

Angelo Patria, an Italian, who is doing much for Americanization, was asked by President Maxwell to speak at the normal school. He was unable to come but he sent a message to the senior class. We are printing his message as well as a personal letter which he wrote the Annual Staff.

New York, April 29, 1920. Dear Annual Staff:

I have no objection to your printing the Uncle Sam story. I wish, however, that you would note fact that it is printed by permission of the Red Cross Magazine. Good luck to the Class 1920.

Sincerely, Angelo

Uncle Sam by Angelo Patria

Patria.

WE like Uncle Sam. He stands for us at our best. When the artist drew the picture of Uncle Sam we hailed it with delight. “That is fine, fine,” we cried. “How did he ever discover him?”

“That is exactly how Uncle Sam should look. Tall, like that; and lean and rangy; kind, keen, shrewd eyes; his face furrowed with sorrow and softened by love and patience.

“Strong. Look at that long, straight back, the narrow hips; see those sinewy arms and the long, powerful hands. There’s not an extra ounce of weight. He’s trained to a fine edge.

“Brainy, too. Looks as though he knew before you told him. He would be easy to live with. See that smile, it is almost a chuckle, playing hide and seek about his straight mouth.

“That’s our Uncle Sam. You couldn’t mistake him.” We look at Uncle Sam and our faces break into smiles and our hearts beat higher. We are proud and happy. We like ourselves better, for Uncle Sam is us at our best.

We like his thinness. We have our doubts about fat folk. They may be all right, but they will have to show us before we accept them. Excess weight makes us a bit suspicious. How can a man be fit for duty when he has to puff for air?

What has he been doing to accumulate this too solid flesh? We have our private opinion that he ate too much, drank too much, sat around too much, or did nothing at all too much, or he would be less present in the flesh. It is the idea of too much that troubles us.

Uncle Sam looks fit. He is the picture of nervous, well-controlled energy. He looks ready for a ten-mile hike in the teeth of the wind, up and over and no stops for blisters. He will come in at the finish without turning a hair.

Uncle Sam looks as though he believed in carrying his share of the load. He could carry his pack and help with the extras. He could lead all the way and if the supply team stuck, his shoulder would be the first to the wheel. He is a whirlwind worker.

But he wouldn’t be imposed upon. You can tell that by his eye. He would detect the slacker instantly and blast him with withering scorn.

But he is very patient with the weak ones. He shows them the easy way, the gentlest trail. He listens patiently to their complaints and tries to adjust them.

He is tolerant of the talkers. He knows they must talk off the froth before they can get down to the solid idea that is underneath it all. There are some folks who must do their talking before the assembled multitude. Uncle Sam leads on and smiles tolerantly until they smile themselves into the right place. “They will if one is only patient enough,” says Uncle Sam.

Yes, we like Uncle Sam. He stands for US at our best. He stands to us for what we wish we were, and helps us to forget how far we are from our ideal.

We look at the strong, smiling, human face, and secretly resolve that we are going to try harder than ever to live up to Uncle Sam, the best that is in us, the best that is America.

WIND SONG

Winds are rocking worlds to rest, (O, rock-a-bye and rest thee)

Hush the world within thy breast, (O, rock-a-bye and rest thee).

Wide the ways the wind goes, Small the world thy heart knows, Fling thy heart upon the wind and let it Hutter free.

Winds are rocking worlds to rest, (O, rock-a-bye and rest thee)

Hush the world within thy breast, (O, rock-a-bye and rest thee)

Swinging winds and hearts at play

Blow the fogs and fears away. (Rock-a-bve, Rest thee, Rock-a-bye, Rest thee.)

Winds make all things new.

C. B. C.

When Spring with rosy fingers comes Over the world again, And there is laughter in the air And earth-caressing rain, Then I remember other days, Brimming with lovely things, White clouds, blue hills, and the delight Of a Winona spring.

The May days, the gay days, The misty, twisty, gray days, Every one a shining key To the gates of memory.

Ilk now that on those windy hills

The crocuses are blue, And on the road to Sugarloaf Hepaticas peep thru; Cowslips and all the flower folk Whose very names are dear, I touch them, smell them all again Tho I bide here.

O May days, O gay days, Beloved, far-away days, Ruthless robbers all were ve And you stole the heart of me.

Letha Davidson, T8.

Training School

CERTAINLY the center of ambition of every seeker of a Winona State Normal School diploma is in the building occupying the west end of the school campus. The privilege of student teaching in the elementary school is the chief distinguishing feature of a senior. To secure a diploma, every student must have earned three credits from two terms’ work of successful practice teaching. Here in the elementary school, children and teachers perform the processes of learning, the one with the mere aim of learning to learn, and the other with the high aim of learning to teach.

The training school is divided into five departments, the kindergarten which holds sway in the library building, primary, lower intermediate, upper intermediate, and junior high school. Each department has its supervisor and at least one regular roomteacher who is a member of the faculty. In all of the departments in the elementary school, a strong student teacher is chosen as honorteacher for one term to preside over the room not handled by the employed room-teacher. Thus twelve girls each year receive special training in a vital way as a reward for faithful service and teaching ability—“to him who hath shall be given.’’

A vast variety of educational exploits have found a place during the year in the work of the training school. Miss Hootman has featured the music work of the school with a Mother Goose pageant in the fall, and various other demonstrations of unusual ability and successful workof the pupils. The Christmas program was a marvel in production and presentation. The entire play was planned, coached, costumed, and given within an incredibly short time. The wonderful co-operation between the children and the teachers was an excellent index of the work of the school. The junior high school has done exceptional work in dramatization. The June graduation class have worked up the material for a Mexican play which Mrs. Chorpenning has written up for them, and which they are planning on presenting as the first class-play of an elementary school graduating class.

The training of the children is especially broad. Upper-grade girls learn to cook and sew under expert guidance. Upper-grade boys learn to build, to draw, and to print. The swimming pool provides a lure for all of the children and swimming parties are always in vogue. Athletics are a vital part of the training and the children are equipped as well physically as mentally when they leave the school. This is indeed an all-around institution and popular with particular parents of Winona.

The supervisor, or critic, of each department holds critic meetings with the student teachers of her departments and great is the light thrown on their knotty problems. The personal relationship is so agreeable, that many opportunities are found for social excursions during the term.

The self-reliance, the independence, and the self-control which each student teacher acquires during her practice teaching as necessary elements of her profession, broaden her mentally, socially, and physically. Undoubtedly the biggest acquisition in education to each senior is the broadening of her personality and her profession through contact with the supervisors, with the student teachers, and with the children themselves.

Her Sixtieth Birthday

i860 1920

Three score years of service, three-hundred-fifty members oi her faculty, fortyeight-hundred graduates, twenty-thousand student-years ol teaching, these are numbers which measure certain more patent aspects of our Alma Mater s hrst sixty years of historv.

the Winona State Normal School, as the original statute declares, was established “to educate and prepare teachers lor teaching in the common schools ol this state. Thru all her sixty years this profound purpose has inspired the efforts of her students and teachers; it has dictated her courses of instruction; it has leavened the whole life of the institution.

With students who enter the normal school from high schools at the present time pursuing three times as much work as did their fellows of fifty years ago, it is clear that the institution has readily responded to demands for higher standards of technical knowledge, skill, and general culture, and for that fine expression of character called personalitv. And she has made these advances under the deep conviction that in this democracy the high quality of our citizenship is our only hope of salvation, that the most vital constructive force in our citizenship is the public school, and that in turn the most vital element in the school is the good teacher.

With what pride we felicitate our school upon her fine record. How our imagination runs afar as we estimate the number and worth of the life influences born here in minds and hearts. How wonderfully have these influences permeated the lives ot countless school boys and girls, and how generously in turn have these boys and girls, grown to men and women, carried her messages of faith and truth to the uttermost parts ol the earth.

The normal school, however, in her sixtv-first year senses her unfulfilled mission even more clearly than in the years gone by. She is living, serving, and growing still, with her future yet before her, realizing as never before that where there is no vision the people perish.

President Maxwell

Our New Athletic Field

WHAT a feeling of relief we all did have when our president announced that we had “for keeps” a real athletic field. Mr. Somsen, our resident director, was our fairy god-father, securing the field through his own funds until the state could make the necessary appropriation. The field is south of the school just beyond the tracks, and lies between Washington and Johnson streets. We now have sufficient grounds for tennis, hockey, football, and baseball. The field will undoubtedly be the scene, too, of numerous out-of-door plays, pageants, field-meets, and contests. It is certainly a necessary and distinctive addition to our efficient institution and its value to the school will undoubtedly grow year by year.

Senior Memorial

HE CLASS OF 1920 feels that it wants to leave as its memorial something living; something that will give pleasure and comfort to the school in the years to come; a memento that will satisfy a long-felt need. It has decided to fit up a social room, Miss Richard’s room—the one across the hall from the assembly room. It will be completely furnished and re-decorated. For this memorial the class aims to raise five hundred dollars. The entire class is divided into groups, and each group is carrying through some plan wTereby money can be raised.

WELL, well, well,” said A1 Umnus Nine, as he burst into the office of the verierable, old recorder of normal school happenings, Historien, and vehemently shook the hand of the old gentleman. ‘‘How’s my old friend, anyway?”

“Easy, boy, easy,” gently protested the old fellow. “You’ll have to be careful how you handle an old, overworked man, you know.”

“Old!” exclaimed the visitor gaily, “Why, you know yourself, Historien, you’ll never be old; and as for being overworked, how can that be?”

“Oh, the Junior Class this year,” sighed the old fellow, “is so active that it keeps me busy all the time. Not that I mind the work, you know,” he added, “but a person really must sleep part of the time.”

“Well, that is interesting,” said Al. “Are there many more students here now than there used to be?”

“More students!” exclaimed Historien, putting down his quill pen, and shoving the ponderous volume in front of him to one side. “Well, I should say so! You know this school has one of the most ambitious faculties that ever existed, and last year several members of it under the direction of Mr. Moore, then an instructor here, visited a number of high schools in various parts of the state, and carried on various other activities in an endeavor to recruit new students. Their success was immense. Then, too, junior college work was inaugurated at the normal school in September, and as a result of the recruiting and new college work, new students came flocking to our doors from far and near. All in all, the attendance was increased by one hundred and twenty-two students. Why, the Junior Class alone this year numbers about three hundred students, forty-two of whom are men.”

“A large class, I must admit,” said Al Umnus Nine. “With so many men, the school must have had some good athletic teams this year.”

“They surely did,” replied Historien, waxing eloquent. “The normal school turned out some of the hardest fighting teams in the state, and the majority of the men on the teams were juniors.

“And, Al, the junior boys weren’t the only ones who have come to the front this year in athletics. You must hear about the junior girls. You know the senior girls like to ‘lord it’ over the juniors, so they began by telling what wonderful teams they had. Now remember, I’m not taking sides on this question, but I’m just giving you an unbiased view. To be sure, the juniors were regular braggarts, too. Well, both classes practiced hard, and soon the inter-class games were played.” The old man stroked his beard reminiscently, and then went on: “The juniors evidently had not bragged in vain, for honors in basketball, football, and volley-ball were theirs. Linally, the juniors carried away the honors at the swimming-meet! Of course those victories were simply victories to the juniors, but they were more to me. They were great, big contributions to the spirit of this school.

“That is a record of which to be proud,” remarked Al. “But you haven’t told me anything about the social activities. Haven’t there been any?”

“My boy, you were out of luck when you came here so long ago. You had to grind away and didn’t get any real joy out of your school life. Last year there was something doingnearly every week.”

“Did the juniors do any of it?”

“Every one says their party was a big success and the May festival will be the big event of the year.”

“You are making me homesick, and if I don’t go soon, I’lfbe jealous of those juniors. Don’t let them work you too hard, Historien. A bien tot.” And Al left his old friend pleasantly meditating on the year which he had just recorded.

The Melting Pot

THE MELTING POT bv Israel Zangwill was chosen as the class play of the Class of 1920 because it presents the great problem of America to-day—namely, the fusion of the many nationalities within her borders to make the American of tomorrow. This play is the story of David Quixano, sole survivor of a family of Russian Jews after the massacre at Kishineff. He comes to America, which, to him, is “the place where God wipes tears from off all faces.” He brings as his heritage from Russia, hatred, vengeance, desire for blood; but he brings also his wonderful musical genius and his great faith in America as the Crucibleof God. At the home of Mendel Quixano, Ins uncle, he composes his American symphony which embodies his vision of America as the melting pot into which is poured human ore from all the ends of the earth.

The play also tells the story of the love between David and Vera Revendal, the spirit of the settlement. Vera is the daughter of Baron Revendal of Russia who had permitted the Kishineff massacre. She, however, is a radical, and because she hates Russian autocracy, has escaped to America to work with the people of the settlement and bring about sympathy and understanding between native and foreign-born. These two, Vera and David, though separated by their differences in religion, by mutual racehatred, by seas of blood, and by the cold, dead bodies of murdered Jews, through their faith in America—the continent that melts, purges, re-creates—find themselves united by the love America taught them.

As the name suggests, the Melting Pot is a story of many nationalities. The Teutonic element is represented by Herr Pappelmeister, a Bismarck of the baton, who “bosses” his own band and declares, “Ven critics disagree—I agree mit mineseli.” The Irish element is well represented by Kathleen O’Reilly who, when she cannot understand the customs and the language of Frau Quixano, expresses herself emphatically, “But what way can I understand her jabberin’ and jibberin’?- Why doesn’t she talk English like a Christian?” In the beginning of the play Kathleen declares, “The divil fly away wid me if ivir from this ’our I set foot again among havthen lurriners— yet, in the last act, she escorts Frau Quixano to the concert and leads her aright with “Howly Moses, komm’ zuriick! Begorra, we Jews never know our way.” The Jewess, Frau Quixano, Mendel’s mother, is a pathetic, old lady who cannot see how anything can possibly go well in America because her heart is full of tears. Mendel Quixano, an elderly music master, has not the faith of David in “the great Crucible where the roaring fires of God are fusing the Jewish race with all the others,” because “the Jew has been tried in a thousand fires and only tempered and annealed.” Baron Revendal is a typical representative of the old-European military autocracy, faithful to Christ and the Tsar. In speaking of the Jews in Russia, he says, “One third will be baptized, one third massacred, and the other third emigrated to America.” He is proud of the fact that, at Kishineff, he had helped to “stick the swine.” The Baroness is French; she married the Baron for his title and for the wealth and social prestige she thought he possessed. The play contains but one American-born character and that an undesirable one, Quincey Davenport, an unemployed millionaire, one ol thefreak fashionables ol New York, who burns time and money to give himself pleasure.

Throughout the entire play is felt the intermingling and the fusion of race-characteristics drawn fromthe various individuals. David sums up the meaning of the whole play in his passionate words: “the pride and the prejudice, the dreams and the sacrifices, the traditions and the superstitions, the noble things and the sordid,—they must all into the Crucible!” In the closing scene, he expresses the same thought even more powerfully: “There she lies, the great Melting Pot listen! Can’t you hear the roaring and the bubbling? - - - Ah, what a stirring^and a seething!

- East and West, and North and South, the palm and the pine, the pole and the equator, the crescent and the cross how the great Alchemist melts and fuses them with his purging flame! Here shall they all unite to build the Republic of Man and the Kingdom of God.”

Winona, thou beautiful, our college fair,— Upward and ever on, thy torch we’II bear! Oh may it ever gleam fair in our sight, Guiding us ever on, after the light!

When we are far away, our love for thee Will lead us on and on,—help us to be All that our dreams foretold, faithful and true. Dreaming no idle dreams, learning to do.

\\ inona, thou beautiful, tribute we bring, Thy banner dauntlessly thy children fling! Thv strength shall ever serve ours to renew; Our Alma Mater dear, we will be true!

Dr. Dickerson, now president of the Moorhead Normal School, gave seven years of untiring effort in our behalf. We regret his departure, but we are glad with him in his new position.

Most men die young within. Yet they remain Like cemeteries of themselves, for years Among the living. Life is drenched with tears, Made mad with folly, red with needless pain, Because we half men, dwarfed in heart and brain, We ghosts ofwhat we might have been, hail Fears As Wisdom, crucify God’s pioneers, And toil to build upon half-truths, in vain.

God make us iron when in our little view Some fearful Fact leaps out to fright the soul!

God keep the harps within us strung and true To catch the measured music of the whole!

O, may God’s battle-cry rouse us again To be at any cost, not ghosts, but men!

Country Life Club

Our hearts are youthful, happy, free. The reason you would find? It is our love of outdoor life, And love of humankind.

Our love of nature bids us see The joys that seasons bring. The summer’s bloom, the autumn’s fruit, And, after winter, spring.

In singing brook or song of bird Or blossoms at our feet, We see the beauty of Life’s plan, And hear Life’s music sweet.

Thru love of humankind we learn Naught is more worth the while Than the friendly clasp of human hand, Or the light oi a human smile;

Companionship of life and thought, The call of mind to mind; The lifting up of human hearts In happiness combined.

THE past year has been a decided success for the Country Life Club. The enrollment has been large, the officers exceptionally efficient, and there lias been the greatest enthusiasm in the work. With Miss Trites as adviser, Cora Perry as president, Ida Dysterheft as vice-president, Kathleen McCaffrey as treasurer, and Marguerite Carey as treasurer, the Club has grown in importance and strength of purpose until every member feels that she has received an inestimable benefit from it. The types of work covered by the various programs show the many possibilities for amusing and educational entertainments in rural communities. The members of the club were divided into six groups under the leadership of Roberta Cooper, Alice Miller, Irene Strand, Pearl Etnier, Esther Ross, and Elfrieda Schunke. Each one of these groups was then responsible for one of the semi-monthly programs. All of these programs have been such as could be used in rural schools or community clubs and the preparation of them has formed a foundation for future work of this type.

Several times, groups have taken their programs out to the rural schools. These trips have been made to Homer, East Burns Valley, and Lewiston. The girls have had good times doing this, but while they have been having their good times, they have also gained some valuable experience along the line of community work.

The Country Life Club Party

A prominent member of the Country LifeClub silently crept clown the hall and into her room. She was too much excited to sleep after what had happened. She must tell her roommate at once as it was all too good to keep. Slipping over and sitting on the edge of the latter’s cot, she awakened her with a shake and a whisper, “Oh, Roomy, you surely missed a wonderful time and a wonderful sleighride to-night by not going to the Gilmore Valley School with us.

“What did you do when you got out there?” came sleepily from beneath the covers.

“Why, we hardly had time to breathe before we had our wraps off and were dancing.”

“Were there any boys to dance with?”

“Were there boys? All the young people of the Valley were there to help entertain us.”

“Any eats?” questioned the muffled voice with more interest.

“Umm, that was almost the best part of it. We each had a big bowl of oyster stew with crackers galore, prepared by Miss Nilsson and the neighbor girls.

“Miss Trites planned to get us home by 10:30 but she barely succeeded in landing us here on the same day that we left. We were having too much fun to come home any earlier. Now, aren’t you sorry you missed it all?”

“Yes, but you’ll go to sleep in church to-morrow if you don’t go to bed. Do you think they will have any more such sleighride parties?”

“Oh, I must tell you about the wonderful year that the Dramatic Club has had. Everyone says that no dramatic organization in the school ever had a better one. You remember that last year the club was rather small, and many of us who were juniors felt that it should be larger. Miss Slifer thought so too, and so even last spring we had plans to start out early enough this year to really accomplish something. Well, we certainly have accomplished things. Early in September, those of us whose interest carried over from last year, met and organized, and before the school had its trunk unpacked and its homesick tears dried, we were looking for members. We have a very interesting list of members. The only requisite for membership is interest and willingness to work. We have had such real pleasure working together, and some of us who would never have been acquainted in any other way, have become close friends. There is something truly social about working together.

But 1 must tell you some of the definite things that we have done. Early in October, the Southeastern Teachers’ Association met here. About three weeks before the meeting, President Maxwell asked us if we could get something ready to present. We didn’t see how we could do it, but we had talked so much about theclub that'we knew we had to Carry the Message to Garcia. We gave Hagedorn’s Heart oj Youth. What a beautiful, symbolical play it is! It was written for an outdoor theatre, and so we decorated our Little Theatre to suggest an outdoor stage, and it was lovely indeed, with its wealth of autumn colors. The groups in the play were so good—the mob, and the lovely hand maidenswho attended Princess Arabis. Kay Doran was a dear as the Princess, and Carlton Neville as the boy, Rabelin, didn’t have to act—he just was Rabeliu.

mwnm i$2Q

The meetings and rehearsals of the club continued regularly, and the result of the work was next shown when just before Christmas we joined forces with the Mendelssohn Club and entertained the school. We could not find a play that we wanted to use for our part of the program, and so Miss Slifer dramatized Van Dyke’s The Other Wise Man. In it, Maurice Howard did some fine work as Artaban. The whole thing made us feel as tho we had been to church: the chant of the Men’s Octette, the prologue with the musical accompaniment which Carlton Neville arranged, given so sympathetically by Grace Merryman, and the vivid costumes which Adele Guelzer planned.

After vacation we began work on four plays. Two of them were given on February twenty-seventh. Neighbors, coached most ably by Fern Rose, is a comedy by Zona Gale. It is centered on an event in the lives of a group of common, plain-speaking, kindly folk. We’ll never forget Ethyl Dooney as Mis’ Abel, nor Mis’ Trot’s funny oldfashioned dress, nor Grandma’s carpet rags nor Ezra’s anger nor any of the rest of it. That same night the Twig of Thorn was given. Oh, this was lovely a fantastic Irish fairy play. The play itself, the well-chosen cast, and the excellent coaching by Miss Hazel Bard brought about success. One able critic judged this the best piece of work any dramatic club had ever done here at school. What was the best of it? Was it the acting of the leading characters, Nora Strand, Leighton Wilkie and Carlton Neville, or the excellent support of the others, or the dancing of Katherine Hilliard? It is hard to say.

We are going out to Gilmore Valley sometime before June, to give a program with Neighbors as a nucleus. Some of our readers are going too. Marion Bourne, Roberta Cooper, and the others have been in great demand this year.

We have had some events that have been planned just forfun. In October, Miss Hootman and Miss Slifer gave us a party at which we enjoyed ourselves so thoroughly that we didn’t go home until the hostesses requested us to do so! We had a party, too, in the gymnasium, for the whole school after the Christmas Program with the Mendelssohn Club. After our February plays, we had a club party. We are going to have a picnic, too, before the end of the year.

And now to you, Dramatic Club of 1920-21, we give our keys. We want you to carry out our plans for a property room with shelves and hooks, a room that will serve the whole school. We wish you success in all your undertakings, and hope that your joy in the club will be no less than ours.”

The Home Economics Club

DURING their junior year, this year’s seniors of the Home Economic department, felt the need of a closer relationship between the members of their department; so early last fall, feeling the responsibility of their new roles as seniors, they gave an informal reception to all who were interested in the formation of a Home Economics Club. Enthusiasm prevailed at this little, social function and as a result the following were elected to guide this new-born club through the coming year:

Laura Bruette, President

Helen Townsend, Vice President

Gladys Harris, Secretary

Josephine Grabau, Treasurer

The club has met once a month, and a definite program has been carried out at these meetings. But have all these meetings been so business-like? Oh, no! True to the name of the club, several of these meetings have been made very home-like by the appearance of appetizing refreshments. Just imagine how very interesting these meetings must have been!

Several delightful parties have featured in the life of this club. A very pleasant evening was spent early in the fall at the home of one of their advisors, Mrs. Dillon. The time was spent in dancing and playing games. Several months later Elsie Doty, a member living in the city, entertained the club at a taffy pull. Now and then faint whispers are heard of a picnic, which is being planned for the near future.

Any observer will tell you that there is a vast amount of originality in this club. Would you be surprised if you were told that one of its members, Florence Sperry, designed the club pm? Yes, this is true, and it has been votedthe permanent Flome Economics pin. Then you know what a proposition it is to raise money, but with cooperation and a little of the above-mentioned characteristic, this club has been more than successful in meeting its expenses. Several small food sales were held. Perhaps, the most popular one was the one at which pop-corn balls were sold from prettily decorated baskets to an enthusiastic basketball crowd. Then the club showed its sewing ability byhaving a collar and cuff sale and who can say that these were not typical of the club work, in their attractiveness and originality.

A short time ago the club was given the privilege of assisting theNear East—no, not theNear East Relief. Every college and normal school having a Home Economics department was asked to contribute toward a fund to establish a chair of Home Economics in the American College for Women at Constantinople. Miss Collins presented the matterto the club and it was agreed to give ten dollars to this cause. We felt that it was our chance to send our ideas and our ideals to some of those who had been vietimized in the Great War.

Besides the work of the clubthe various members in their class work have done things of interest. The Senior Class under the direction of the Juvenile Court, conducted a series of lessons for the benefit of pensioned mothers of Winona and it may be of interest to know that this work has received state recognition. The purpose of these lessons was to teach these mothers how to prepare foods which would be nutritious and still be within the limits of their incomes. Under the supervision of Miss Collins, the Junior Class devoted several weeks, during the winter term, to the serving of dinners to the faculty and classmates. Perhaps it was the preparation of a dinner like this that caused you to stop at the cooking laboratory door and wonder who were to be the lucky guests.

Jelly

Parkerhouse Rolls

Perfection Salad

During this spring term, the Junior Class has been responsible for a nutrition clinic. With the co-operation of the mothers, this class has undertaken the delightful task of bringing three little girls who are ten per cent underweight, up to their normal weight. These little girls have agreed to sacrifice movies, coffee, and candy, and to go to bed at 8:45. If we are to judge by the results of the first two weeks, we are sure that this clinic will prove a success.

We feel quite positive that the junior members will profit by the club’s first experience and so be able to make it one of the best clubs of the school next year.

Thirty maids work and sing;

Thirty maids sew everything;

Thirty maids can cook and bake;

Thirty maids can collars make;

Thirty maids sold pop-corn balls;

Thirty maids walk through the halls;

Thirty maids, who can they be?

INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB

“Art means the doing of things by hand, Guided by the head, instigated by the heart.”

-—John Cotton Duna.

HOUSED in one corner of the main building is a department which the members of the Industrial Arts Club consider the most important department in our school. It consists offour sections: drafting, manual training, industrial arts and printing. The industrial arts section occupies two large rooms; one, the main class room where the general recitations are held and where the students create various specimens of art as baskets, reed lamps, waste baskets, hook-covers and other articles too numerous to mention; the other, the weaving room fitted up with two rag looms and three linen looms. A special feature this year hasbeen the adaptation of cement to such things as were formerly made of clay, namely, tea tiles, book racks, ink wells, flower boxes, etc. The advantage of this medium lies in the fact that it does not require firing and that it can be beautifully colored.

The printing class is receiving an interesting course in practical typography. It consists of composition work, distributing, presswork, and the learning of various kinds of type. There are plans now under way for a pamphlet in which the course of study will be outlined. Numerous poems, short essays, and quotations, as well as school jobs are being turned out. On the whole, the class is receiving the same valuable and prac- tical knowledge of a print shop and its methods as it receives in every other branch of the work in industrial arts.

The Kindergarten Club

ALITTLE more than four years ago, the Kindergarten Club sprang into existence in this school. It has been growing in strength ever since. It has grown in a way peculiar to itself. Not only have new members been added each year, but the club has retained the active interest of each out-going kindergartner. As a result of this co-operation, the Kindergarten Club has grown and flourished, having the hearty support of every member, in whatever it might attempt.

The club has worked hard this year. In its work and play it has added many pleasant memories to a list already long. The club has always tried to extend its work and fun to the other departments of the school, and has met in return a cordial response.

Last year it laid the foundation of a scholarship fund. It is hoped that this fund will be added to each year. The interest will be used each year as a scholarship fund for some member of the club.

Last autumn the club of last year and this year presented a memorial to the school in the form of a child’s picture, Charlotte. It was hung in the Kindergarten hall where it is a continual source of enjoyment.

For a long time theclub has found a great deal of profit and fun in its various means of replenishing its treasury.. This year the ready genius of the ways and means committee devised a novel scheme for supplying the much-needed money. After many hours of painstaking work, not unmixed with pleasure of one kind and another, the club finally announced and conducted an apron sale with unhoped-for success. The entire amount received, above expenses, was forty dollars!

Nor has it been backward in social activities. Early in the school year Miss Sutherland and Miss Schwable entertained the club in a truly royal style. No kindergarten club would seem complete without the annual “kid party”! This year the juniors were entertained by the seniors, and there was no lack of all that is dear to a little child.

The big event of the year in the life of the club, was the party which it gave to the entire school. The invitation was this:

“Come one, come all, both short and tall, To a good, old-fashioned, cotillion ball, And later on, the modern dance Our lovely music will enhance.

“At eight o’clock on Saturday night

The normal gym will be alight, Forthe Kindergarten Club will be waiting there

To welcome boththe brave and fair.”

Given in early April, the party foreshadowed in its decorations all the luture wealth and beauty of the out-of-doors. In a single day the gymnasium was transformed into a perfect bower of apple and cherry blossoms. The party was given in the form of a cotillion dance. There were dainty favors for each figure, which lent an added charm and grace to the entire evening. Nearly every member of the school was there, and every guest took an active part in the evening’s program.

The senior members of the club have attended several of the parent’s and teacher’s meetings, which have been held in the kindergarten rooms. They found much in these meetings which was of interest to them and which will prove of great value to them next year when they are conducting similar meetings.

The club has been a great inspiration to its members, and a prosperous and happy future is predicted for it.

Mason Music Club

FOUND in the limelight of this school year, so we are told, is our Mason Music Club. Quite modestly, we feel that our club has been quite prominent for we know that we have definitely contributed to the life of the school.

Of course everyone knows that our one big contribution was Mr. Dykema’s visit and lecture. How we did laugh! How we did sing! And how we did listen, openmouthed, eager for each choice bit of the humor, the pathos, and the knowledge that fell from his lips. Probably not since the emotional war-days have we felt the intense patriotism of our national anthem that we felt on this sixteenth day of April. Mr. Dykema seemed intuitively to know all of our favorites, and so we sang “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad,’’ “Long, Long Trail,” and to close with, “Nearer My God to Thee.” Just the contact with this broad, clean, brilliant personality was in itself eclucational. To actually have this famous professor of Wisconsin State University in our own school, on our own platform, and talking and singing with us like a jolly companion, was indeed a startling pleasure. The hour and a half that we laughed and sang with this man has found its place among the golden memories of our experiences.

Yet, added to the pleasure of having Mr. Dykema here, was the joy of earning the necessary funds to make his coming possible. We worked hard, but had fun along the way, preparing the fairy operetta, Melilotte, which was given on February sixth. Some

of us had to reduceourselves to such minor (?) details as Dollars, Quarters, and Dimes. Sophia Jereczek was leading lady as Melilotte, but Marguerite Snyder as the Turtle Woman was a very good rival. And those three jolly frogs!—weren’t they the most delightful frogs you ever saw?

Perhaps you would like to hear something of the history of this wonderful little club. It was organized October eighthby the girls taking the public-school-music course. Our object was to take up the problems of the department and to get better acquainted with each other. Meetings have been held bi-weekly at which talks have been given on the boy’s voice, by Miss Hootman of the training school; on music problems in Winona by Miss Kissling, city music-supervisor, and on the orchestra by Miss Smith, our advisor. Under the chairmanship of Marguerite Snyder, programs have been arranged and given by the members.

We feel, too, that we have accomplished our second object of organizing—that of cultivating each other’s acquaintance. And how was this accomplished? During the winter, Miss Smith entertained us at her home with two delightful parties which we shall never forget. And when spring came we enjoyed picnics on the bluffs, forgetting our various duties in the joy of those last weeks together.

Mendelssohn Club

Just as the year 1920 marks the sixtieth anniversary of our school, so it also marks the twentieth anniversary of the Mendelssohn Club, a vital and exceedingly necessary factor in our efficient institution. Miss Caroline V. Smith has very kindly sent us the following account of our history as a club.

The Mendelssohn Club was founded under the direction of Miss Caroline V. Smith in 1900, and this year will mark the twentieth anniversary of this popular, musical organization.

The membership of the club has included between sixteen and twenty-four, young women of the school, who met every Monday afternoon for rehearsal in the music room.

The Mendelssohn Club served to stimulate the musical life of the school through its high ideals, and assistance at chapel time, and at all public functions of the institution.

The annual May-day program became an important, musical event in the annals of the school, and represented the culmination of the year’s work on the part of the club members. The St. Cecilia Club of New York, which is directed by Victor Harris, and which has been a source of inspiration to women’s musical organizations throughout the country, has guided the Mendelssohn Club in its general policy for some years.

Not the least service rendered the school has been the yearly effort on the part of club members to interest good, musical talent to enroll in the Winona Normal School, and upon graduation to specialize in the teaching of school music. Among the supervisors may be mentioned Miss Edda M. Angst, 141 Highland Ave., Minneapolis, Class of 1900. Miss Angst was one of the charter members of the club, having been in the alto section. Miss Marion Monson, Class of T8, is a junior member who is making an excellent record for herself as supervisor in music at Pine Island, Minnesota.

The club has always been a four-part organization, and while choral music has been a special feature, solo voices have held a prominent place in club and school work. Among the soloists in the soprano section were the following: Miss Mary M. Learning (1901), who studied voice for three years in Florence, Italy, upon graduation from the normal school. She is now at the head of the department of French at Great Falls, Montana. Upon returning from Italy, Miss Learning completed a course in the French language at the University of California. She is now very happy in both her professional and musical life. Miss Ethel Wakefield (1909); Miss Addie Johnson (1910); Miss Hazel Strauss (1912); Miss Maude Potter (1913); Miss Daphne Dyer (1917), soloist in Aida given by the St. Cecilia Society; Miss Mildred Chase (1918); and Miss Marion Monson (1918) are among the many who will be remembered especially because of their voice work.

Miss Maude Potter studied at the New England Conservatory of Music for two years, and is now one of Winona’s most prominent singers and teachers of voice. Among the altos may be mentioned Miss Mary Vance (1902), now a successful teacher in our city schools; Miss Ethel Ranseen (1906), now Mrs. Dr. Anton Fried of Boston; Miss Myrtle Cross (1912), now Mrs. John Firth of Owatonna; Miss Mary C. Weida (1917), Superintendent of Houston County Schools; Miss Evalyn Rogde (1917) (Mrs. Frank Damn), a former teacher in the elementary school; Miss Mollie Thorson (1917), assistant supervisor in music, and member of the Lyric Quartette of Duluth; Miss Dorothy Sherwood (1918), contralto soloist in The Alessiah given by the St. Cecilia Society, 1918; Miss Jeannette La France (1919), who is teaching at Plato, Minnesota. Thenthere were club members who were especially gifted upon the piano, and who rendered valuable assistance as soloists and accompanists: Miss Avanelle Coleman (Mrs. C. D. Tearse, deceased); Miss Helen Kirchstein, who took a post-graduate course at the conservatory of Music, College of St. Teresa, and who is now teaching in Minneapolis; Miss Grace E. Charles (Mrs. C. F. Hughes) of New York City; Miss Eleanor Otis, (Mrs. W. H. Tolleson) of Winona; Miss Rita Rowan (now married); Miss Alvina Boley, who is teaching in the Northrup Collegiate School, Minneapolis; and Miss Jeannette La France who made a reputation for herself as both vocalist and pianist. During the past two years the club has been directed by Mrs. Charles Johnston and Miss Deborah L. Smith, both of whom are in perfect sympathy with the work of theclub. 1 he club has sought faithfully to serve the best interests of the school throughout the twenty years of its existence.

MEMBERS OF THE MENDELSSOHN CLUB

During the year of 1920, we as successors of the nineteen clubs of the past have tried to live up to our predecessor’s reputation. We have played basketball, entertained the school, and sung at all the chief entertainments of the school. The crowning event of our year was the annual May festival which took place on May seventh.

The Normal School Orchestra

The latest innovation at out normal school is the formation of an orchestra. Seventeen persons responded to the call for such an organization, the need for which had long been felt.

The first rehearsal was pleasingly surprising. The violin section especially displayed unusual talent. This section was large enough to balance nicely the other parts. A point in favor of the orchestra is that it is not composed solely of students, but of students and members of the faculty. The spirit of co-operation, which every one has shown, proves beyond a doubt that the society must become a permanent one. Since only four members are June graduates its success for next year is assured. The future holds great prospects for the orchestra. Such a variety of music may be secured that program committees should in the future be able to include the orchestra on almost any program. The very fact that after only a few rehearsals it was called on for several programs show's what is to be expected in the future.

Although so recently organized, the orchestra had several engagements for the spring term. Among these may be named a special chapel program and the Lawn Party.

The three-fold aim of the organization is: enjoyment for the members of the orchestra, enjoyment for the whole school, and enjoyment for those who will come in the future because of the advantages of such an orchestra.

The Pow-Wow

TO the school year of 1919-20 belongs the distinction of having the first schoolpaper. Our Pow-Wow was as full of vitality, distinction, and purpose as its well-chosen name suggests. The paper caused the sensation of each week by its appearance and many were the stumblings as each student nosed his way home with his head buried behind the imposing sheet.

The reporters were faithful devotees to their avocations and seldom it was, indeed, that the least bit of scandal escaped them. The business managers were wedded to their money-bags, and it would have taken more than the average highwaymen to rob these guardians of the Pow-Wow. But to the editor, Jean Tawney, was left the long end of the job, and many were the ups and downs of the Pow-Wow’s devoted chief.

Contributions were encouraged by the interesting, little box into which Chuckie Randall slipped so many of the poems which found their way into the pages of the paper.

Proud though as we were of our paper, we realized its worth even more after the sixteenth and last issue made its appearance on March nineteenth. To the juniors of next year we bequeath our share in the Pow-Wow, but to ourselves we reserve the privilege of subscribing as alumni to Pow-Wow the Second of 1920-21.

The Students Catholic Association

IN the fall, the Catholic students, numbering seventy-five, were entertained by the St. Rose of Lima Guild. When they realized the strength of their numbers, they decided very wisely to organize as the Student Catholic Association.

The first regular meeting was held in Cotter Hall, September twenty-first, at which the officers were elected. The meetings combined pleasure and business. Often lectures of an inspiring nature were enjoyed.

Among the social gatherings most pleasant in the memories of the S. C. A. girls was the get-acquainted party at which each member introduced herself by doing some stunt, the Valentine party given to the St. Rose of Lima Guild in return for the party which they had given the club, also a dancing-party given in St. Joseph’s Hall, to which the boys of St. Mary’s College were bidden. Five o’clock meetings were often on the program, and then the business session was followed by a supper and dance. Although this club does not attempt to directly inlluence the general school concourse, it has certainly succeeded in keeping its members happy and well entertained.

The Y. W. C. A. Cabinet

SURELY every one of you has felt the vitality and the influence of our Y. W. C. A. during the year. Whether members or not, you have listened to the announcements; perhaps you have been attracted into one of the meetings; and you must have said, or at least thought, “What a helpfulorganization this is, indeed.”

Of course the cabinet, elected in the spring of the year for the year to come, is composed only of the seniors. They take it upon themselves each fall to extend to each junior a hearty welcome. Letters of greeting were sent out during the summer to all prospective students, and in the fall every train bearing new students was met by Y. W. C. A. girls. Big-sister seniors adopted a family of one, two, or even three little-sister juniors, and did their level best to cultivate in the hearts of their little flock a fondness for Winona, for our normal school, and for the Y. W. C. A.

Pressdent

Another welcome was extended on the very first day of school. A social tea was the activity this time, at which the juniors were introduced to the Y. W. C. A. rest room.

The work of the social committee did not stop with the first success. Wonderfully impressive initiation services at the Y. W. C. A. formed a nucleus of lofty ideals upon which to build the work of the year. The candles of self were blown out and relighted at the large candle of service. Oak leaves were given as symbols of the steadfastness and faith ofthe new work with which we had affiliated ourselves.

Then on February first, the Onward League girls were our guests at a party in the gymnasium. If they enjoyed our company as much as we did theirs, the party was a huge success.

The Valentine party to the entire school was a real party. The gymnasium probably never before in its career had been decked out so gaily. A wonderful canopy of red and white streamers gave a feeling of homey coziness to the otherwise Iofty-ceihnged gym. The lively games and the jolly races provided the best of amusement to the evening, propitiously begun by a grand march. The social committee has surely won laurels for itself in all the festive occasions of the association.

The program committee has been equally successful inits work. Miss Richards extended a warm welcome at the first of the year to all of the new members. Mr. French gave a very interesting talk on his experiences in Turkey. Later in the year, Miss Meyers, the county probation officer, told of the helpful work which she was doing here. A number of unusual events were staged at various meetings, among which were: a musical program, a report by Miss Cronkite, who attended the convention at Des Moines, a biblical adaptation of Kipling’s “If” and the trial of “The Little Red Devil.” The advertising committee has done exceptional work during the year, especially in the posters advertising the bi-weekly meetings.

Most of these social functions would have been impossible, had the finance committee been less successful in its enterprises. Miss Slifer featured in our auction as auctioneer and contributed fun to the crowd and funds to the treasury. The sale of those much-used directories added substantially to the bank account. Many new comforts were thus added to the rest room. A new, attractive medicine cabinet fully equipped for emergencies, three pillows, a bookstand, table scarf, three pairs of curtains, a pedestal, and plant ha've made the room very inviting and useful to the girls of the school.

Nearly every Sunday during the year, four groups of girls met for an hour to discuss social problems from a religious standpoint. Every fourth Sunday a union meeting was held, and a special program was given.

Yet our work has not ended with a mere discussion of social problems, for active, social-service work has been a vital part of the year’s work. Girl-Reserve clubs led by normal-school students were organized in the junior high and grade schools of the city. The organization sent members to read to the patients at the hospital; and one group entertained them with carols at Christmas time. Another group walked out to the poor farm, and s'ang to the people there. Gifts, fruit, and candy were sent out there at Christmas time to brighten the lives of twenty-five people. Thechildren of the daynursery were given a Christmas tree, gifts, candy, and cookies. One family was provided with a magnificent Thanksgiving dinner.

Miss Tunell, student secretary of the north-central field, visited us. We only hope that the association of next year will be as fortunate as we in having a visit from this delightful person.

On the tenth of March, the election of next year’s officers took place. Doris Cronkite president, Ruth Lundahl vice-president, Gladys Otteson secretary, and Ethel Ascott treasurer will be next year’s executive council. The retiring cabinet is certain that these girls will carry on and broaden the work of the organization, maintaining the ideals of the association and doing with a glad heart and a helping hand all that is in their power to do.

BASEBALL

We have started our baseball season this spring with an all normal-school team. Previous to this time, we have always had a mixed team. The season has opened with very good prospects. Many of the men have played baseball for several years, and with a wealth of new material it looks as tho the normal school will be represented by a winning team. Kreger, Ramsey, and Barlow in all the games had considerable experience as mound artists. Cassidy, Ronan, Morrison, and Steffensrud have played the in-field positions in a creditable manner. The normal school has without a doubt the best diamond in the city. Games have been scheduled with the Winona Business College, the Rushford High School, theArcadia High School, St. Mary’s College, Mankato Commercial College, Pillsbury Academy, and Shattuck.

Captain Kreger proved himself to be the team’s star performer. Besides playing a smooth, fast game and demonstrating an ability to shoot baskets from the most difficult places on the floor, he possesses unlimited endurance, and an eagle eye for baskets. Several critics have named him the city’s best forward.

Michael Bambenek, acting as Kreger’s running mate, showed that the “best things are often done up in the smallest packages.’’ He was much feared by his opponents because of his ability to cage baskets at the opportune time. Mike is extremely aggressive, clever, and fast. Mike is without a doubt a coming athlete.

Clarence Gerecke played throughout the season at the pivot position. “Baldy’bvas always on the offensive; because of his height, he was especially effective on the jump and around the basket. His persistency made him a valuable man on the team.

Frank Wilkens is better known as “Toddy.” As guard he showed an exceptional ability at breaking up the opponents’ passes and incidentally working the ball back to our own basket. Wilkens is a cool and steady player always in the game from start to finish.

RolandTorgerson altho handicapped with an injured knee, played consistent basketball all season. Because of his experience, he could be counted upon to do his share of the scrapping in any emergency. He is one of the purple and white’s most dependable players.

BASKETBALL

The Winona State Normal Basket Ball Team with T. O. Dillon as coach, finished the season successfully and in commendable style. Most of the men had never played on the same team before, nor played the same style of basketball, but by hard work and continued effort the coach developed a very speedy and clever quint. Most all the men are juniors, so prospects for next year are very good.

Captain Kreger, loyally supportedby his teammates, piloted his bunch thru to the city championship and won for the school the Colonial Cup which for the next twelve months is to be the property of our school.

The tendency at Winona is to make athletics more generally participated in than ever before. Rather than over-develop a few athletes Coach Dillon has tried to make the training reach as large a number ol students as possible. With this end in view, inter-class basketball has become more popular than ever. Such games furnish good opportunity for picking new material for the first team.

Our second team played an interesting and high-class variety of basket ball. They lost but one game and came out at the end of the season a steady, well-trained team. Strand, Prinzing, Howard, Welch, and Cassidy were thestellar performers in this team. That a great deal of interest was taken in this form of athletics was shown by the large attendance at games. This branch of athletics has always been popular at Winona and promises to become even more so in years to come.

FOOTBALL

Footballthis fall at the Winona State Normal was of marked significance, not because of victories won, but because it was the first time that it had figured in intercollegiate games. Perhaps at no other time in the history of the school was such a comprehensive schedule played. Ten games were played in all, five being played on the gridirons of the Eau Claire and St. Cloud normal schools, Shattuck Academy, Luther College, and Gustavus Adolphus.

At the first call for practice on September fifth, several of the men of the school responded and donned the moleskins, many for the first time. Coach Dillon was confronted with the proposition of whipping raw recruits into a formidable team. Hitting the charging sled and tackling the dummy along with hot{???) showers became the order of the day. Altho outweighed in every instance by their opponents, the purple and white played consistently and won the respect of their adversaries as being a “game, scrappy bunch.”

Sixteen monograms were awarded to men who took part in a majority of the games played. The letter men were Ronan, Kreger, Morrison, Bramer, Steffensrud, Gerecke, Clarke, Wilkens, Edd, Cassidy, Calkins, Holzinger, Triggs, Barlow, Benz, and Snyder. Numerals were also awarded to Strand, Prinzing, and Howard.

It is not the material success, but rather the calibre of football played, which will make the football season of 1919 long remembered. The development of this type of football will give prestige to our athletics, and will do much to create a greater purple and white spirit.

The W. A. A. has grown to be one of the strongest organizations in the school. In its ideals and in its working plan it embodies good health, clear thinking, and right Iiving. It consists of over thirty girls, who believe in the power and influence of true sportsmanship, and the high moral value of good, clean athletics.

Basketball

Your grit! your nerve! you’ve got it, now keep it, bold on to it, was the spirit that stirred the girls’ basketball work this year. Force, vim, and push were the key words of both teams. The seniors came out with an accumulation of courage from last year, and the juniors had enough zeal from nobody knows where to carry three classes off their feet. The try-outs were held in January. Enough girls came out to form three teams for each class. Three very close, inter-class games were played in which the juniors, under the direction ot Nellie Palmer, won the championship. The first game scored 17 to 10 in favor of the juniors; the second ended in a tie which when played off went to the seniors with a score of 16 to 14; the third also ended in a tie, but this time the play-off went to the juniors, the score being 17 to 15.

An all-school team was then picked from the best of the two class teams to play the city Y. W. C. A. The line-up was as follows:

Gladys Brown Running Center

Mattie Brown Running Center

Evangeline Hiem Forward

lone Ellison Forward

Pearl Etnier Guard

Ethel Kidd Guard

A good game was played ending with the score of 17 to 14 in our favor. This game ended what was to the entire school the most exciting basketball season that the Winona Normal School has ever lived through.

The account of women’s athletics would not be complete without mentioning the track team. The members of this team are doing all manner of stunts, such as throwing javelins, hurdling, and racing in order to fit themselves for the big track-meet. This track-meet is the occasion which tests out the ability and agility of the girls of the team, and it promises much fun for the rest of us.

DANCING

Some things are done for the pure joy in the doing, and dancing is one of those things. To go down to the gym after a strenuous day’s work, and to learn from Miss Pearson the beautiful interpretations that the movements of the body can give to thoughts and feelings; to come to know wherein lies the true beauty of dancing; to work out the folk dances of the Norwegians, the Swedes, and the Russians, and to feel their zest and joy in living: all these things make the dancing class one of the pleasantest periods in the whole day.

TENNIS

This year the girls ol the W. N. S. have entered into one of the liveliest tennis tournaments that has ever taken place in the school. Every girl feels that she has a fighting chance to win, and seizes upon any available court lor practicing. If Miss Richards would only permit it, therewould be even moonlight courtin’.

To see the star players, Ellen Mehalek, Florence Sperry, Katherine Doran, and Milda Sundby, walking arm in arm around the campus, you would never suspect that they were deadly enemies on the tennis field. Their entrance into the tournament means a close game, scientific playing, and small chance for you and me. But then, even with stars fate sometimes steps in, and who knows, maybe any one of us may walk off with a prize. Anyway, hope runs high, and everything bids fair for a big contest.

HIKING

Fun and work were never so happily combined as in hiking. To get out in the open air and tramp across the lake and over the bluffs, and then to have all this fun counted as regular gym work, seemed the very pleasantest mixture of work and play. And then the long hikes whichthe girls took over the week ends and which counted as so many points toward winning a monogram! Homer, Stockton, and even Lewiston were the goals of these hardy hikers. Often a weiner roast marked the half-wav point in the hike, and served to encourage any would-be laggards. But it is hard to tell about a hike. One just must experience it. If any student doesn’t know how it feels to come back to Morey Hall with tired limbs, a most voracious appetite, and the grandest feeling of exhilaration, we say, “Just hike!’’

SWIMMING

You have heard ol dancing parties, automobile parties, and hiking parties; but have you ever heard of a swimming party? The girls of the W. A. A. had one at the Y. W. C. A. swimming pool Friday night, December fifth. Thirteen in number—but thirteen was not an unlucky number that night!—they swam around like so many mermaids. But unlike mermaids they were not satisfied with fishes’ food, and so after their swim as thirteen humans they wended their way to the dairy lunch. It is said that Henry and Frank’s receipts were surprisingly large that night.

The lure of the water proved its power in the swimming meet which was held at the Y. W. C. A. pool Saturday afternoon, April the seventeenth. The actions of the contestants were so vigorous that the spectators received many an unlooked for splash. The winners of the meet were: Margaret Sainsbury, first; Elsie Hampel, second; Louise Cates, third.

BASEBALL

Who says girls can’t play baseball! In the athletics of this school, baseball easily stood out as one of the best games that the girls ever played in. The try-outs resulted in the selection of two teams, one picked from the juniors and the other from the seniors.

After several practices, the first game came off. Great excitement prevailed. The teams were evenly matched, and each side was confident of victory. But in spite of all that the seniors could do, the juniors came out ahead. And such cheering! The juniors had won out over the seniors!

Scarcely had the thrill of the first game died down before the second game came off. The juniors had assurance. Couldn’t they do again what they had done before? The seniors had grim determination. The juniors must not be given another chance to say that the seniors had soft muscles and that baseball was too strenuous a sport for them. But the juniors did win again! However, in the rousing cheers given them, the loudest and heartiest came from their erstwhile bitter opponents, the seniors.

VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball has been a popular game this year. During the fall term the girls practiced diligently on the out-door courts so that they might be in the best condition for play when the time for the try-outs arrived.

Finally the day of the big contest arrived with each girl determined to do her very best for her team, her class, and her school. The game was well played by both sides; the ball was batted back and forth across the net with great skill; the score wavered with first one side in the lead and thenthe other. Every one in the audience sat in breathless excitement lest his side should lose. And then the game was over! The juniors had won! Immediately a second game was played, and again the juniors won. Thus were the juniors proclaimed the champions in volleyball.

THE W. A.A. GIVES A CARNIVAL TO THE SCHOOL

The old, winter term had comfortably rolled off, and the spring term had not yet laid its oppressive weight upon our shoulders, when the W. A. A. opened up its carnival. The managers did not realize the value of their goods, and for the fewest pennies they gave us the greatest amount of fun and laughter that the old world could possibly manufaeture.

Barely had we entered the grounds before we were invited into the tea rooms of Japan. We pretended ravenous hunger in order that we might bask in the beauty of these rooms, and watch the little Jap performers with their parasols and fans.

When the gates of this paradise were closed upon us, we hurried away to China and viewed the ruins of ancient crockery.

Whirling off to India we saw a bona fide Bengal tiger! Horrors! And to think that one of our brave youths even tried to put it in his pocket!

Fleeing from the tiger we made a flying trip over Egypt but we caught only a glimpse of the camels of that country. Someway here the air seemed filled with smoke, and we were glad to hurry off to Greece. We felt like a Yankee in King Arthur’s Court when we discovered that Greece was still in the middle ages or at least in the age of candles.

We next took a look at France. At Versailles we saw the marvelous ball room of Louis XIV. “Even kings must realize the importance of gymnasiums,” we observed. We took in the grand opera, “Le Moulien Rouge.” We especially enjoyed the singing because of our familiarity with the style of French used. Cassidy and Benz were quite irresistible as charming members of the fairer sex.

Once more were we thrust from paradise, only to descend into the rugged fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains. A missing lynx was the first native to greet us. It looked very lonesome and useless. We were so hilarious over the lowly state of the groundhog that Policeman Van Duzee tapped us on our shoulders and waved her villainous club dangerously near our heads. Our feeling of gavety was soon restored by the advent of our country sisters, Brown and Eldred. Together we tried our luck at a punch board; we shot nigger babies; we had our fortunes told; we did everything that goes to make up a thrilling, exciting, noisy carnival.

But presto! our adventures became a memory, and anon we sat on benches, watching the trippings of the Gold Dust Twins. (It has been rumored that Miss Day and Miss Pearson were reincarnated into these twins.) Scarcely had the Gold Dust Twins done their work before a Hindu appeared in a violent sword dance and a horrible snake dance. It was whispered about that this Hindu was no other than Miss Slifer whohad been bewitched by a heathen god and given supernatural power to reveal the dark deeds of man’s past, present, and future. On her exit, the manager of the carnival announced that the show was over. Thus ended, as thePow-Wow stated in its account ot the carnival, one of the most spectacular events of the season.

Hockey practice for the spring term has just begun. The juniors under the leadership of Rosema Risser are developing a splendid team, and are hoping to maintain the enviable record which they have already made this year in other athletics. The senior team is under the leadership of Katherine Hilliard. Many of the seniors played together last year, and showed such speed, skill, and endurance in their playing that their coach confidently expects them to carry off all the laurels when the inter-class contests take place. The juniors may surprise them, though.

THE MAY FESTIVAL

One of the most effective and picturesque scenes ever presented at the Winona Normal School will be the May festival given by the juniors to honor the seniors. This festival, which is being planned by Miss Pearson, is to be given May the twenty-eighth on the west hillside ot Garvin Heights at sundown. It is to be a tale of the seasons, and with its pretty costuming and appropriate dances promises everything lovely that a May festival can include.

The general arrangement of the festival is as follows: Father Time walks across space and calls to Spring.

EPISODE i

Spring enters with her handmaidens, the spring violets. The violets form a background while Spring dances. As Spring finishes her dance, a group of children with the May-pole enter. After their dance they leave, followed by Spring and her followers. Father Time again appears and this time calls to Summer.

EPISODE II

Summer with her flowers, the roses, enters. First she dances, and then a great group of butterflies fly in and dance. After they have left, Father Time again comes forth and calls Autumn.

EPISODE III

Autumn and her chrysanthemums enter and dance. Two harvesters then appear, who greet Autumn and dance for her. They then call a crowd of harvesters. Father Time once more appears for the last time and calls to Winter.

EPISODE IV

Winter’s flowers appear first. Then Winter herself comes holding aloft the Christmas candle. She stands thus with her flowers about her while a choir sings Holy Night. Winter then hands her candle to one of her handmaidens and dances. Two skaters now enter, greet W inter, and dance for her. They then call other skaters, and all have a merry time.

THE GET-ACQUAINTED PICNIC

The first week of school, little juniors as well as big seniors were kept busy trotting around with their little, pink slips and interviewing Teacher, with never a chance for homesickness to slip in her teary dart. The time for homesickness to develop was Saturday afternoon. To ward off this much-dreaded illness, a delightful picnic was held up on dear, old Garvin Heights. Big Sister pinned Little Sister's name on the latter’s dress and clasping the trusting, little hand in her big,capable one, she led Little Sister up the steep and narrow path. It was a hot climb but the cool breeze and picnic lunch, to say nothing of the beautiful view, set our hearts to singing, our tongues to chattering, and before we knew it, teachers and students were acquainted. At sunset we all trooped merrily home to write our fond mammas and papas what a lovely time we had and what a wonderful place the Winona Normal School is.

THE FACULTY RECEPTION

One of the earliest, social events of the year was the faculty reception at Morey Hall. After the students had passed down the receiving line, nearly everyone went down to the dining room from which all the tables had been removed, and straightway the dance was on. The music was furnished by a three-piece orchestra which occupied one corner of the room. Ice cream and wafers were served on the west porch.

HALLOWE’EN PARTY

Those of us who went to the party on Hallowe’en over in the normal library will never forget the good time we had. After we got in, ghostly figures directed us with sepulchral whispers and groans to the subterranean passage where we encountered many surprises. Some found great difficulty in walking; others found themselves in intimate companionship with wild beasts and still others lost their balance and went careening down to land with a thud two inches below.

After many trials and tribulations, all finally made the journey without undue casualties, and found themselves in the elementary school gymnasium, which was most interestingly decorated for the occasion. A short time was spent in trying to discover identities, but so clever were the costumes that few were successful.

There was a fascinating variety of costumes; clowns, ghosts, witches, gypsies, Indians, wild westerners, Puritans, pumpkins, apples, fish, and animals predominated. Among the last, two quarrelsome but attractive pussy cats were prominent.

The old games, Sally-go-roumi-tbe-stars, Looby Lou, and Little Sally Water were very much enjoyed by all. The games terminated in a grand march, led by the two cats, through the building. After the grand march, eats, consisting of apples, animal crackers, and all day suckers, were served by girls dressed as apples, animals, and fish.

The evening’s enjoyment was concluded by a program. The first number, the Darice of the Sprites, by nine girls led by Catherine Hilliard, w as an unusually graceful and beautiful performance. This was followed by popular music, played on mandolins by Isabel Stegner, Grace Merryman, and Genevieve Kenna, impersonating “the famous gypsies from Madrid.’’ The concluding number was a much appreciated song bv a men’s trio.

The end of the football season was marked by a pretty party which was held in the training school gymnasium, November twenty-first.

The party was unique in decorations, in the variety of amusements, and in refreshments. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with purple and white streamers, which practically made a roof. Cozy corners furnished with davenports, rugs, lamps, and plants lent a homelike atmosphere to the room.

The guests were received at eight o’clock by the members of the faculty, the board of directors, and the two class presidents.

At nine o’clock, the dancing began. After the second number, eight girls under Miss Pearson’s direction, gave two folk dances which were enjoyed by all.

At 10:45 ice cream cones were served and at 11:50, Home, Sweet Home was played.

THE JUNIOR PARTY

As the guests arrived, and were greeted hospitably by the officers of the class of 1921, and heard the five-piece orchestra tuning up at its station in the middle of the dancing floor, they knew instinctively that they were to have a delightful evening.

The first impression was of the colorful beauty of the unusually attractive scene; the junior colors, of dainty rose and pale green, were twined and draped everywhere. Rose and green balloons, suspended from the ceiling lights, added a unique touch.

There were two cozy corners, which in appearance were so undeniably cozy and comfortable that the spectators were made positively frantic to occupy them.

When the music started, it made even the shy ones feel that they belonged on the floor. Much excitement was caused by the feature dances. In the first, the couples were numbered, and as they danced, the numbers were called, each couple leaving the floor when its number was heard. The last couple on the floor received a delicious box of candy, as didthe couple who received the prize as the best waltzers. There were two moonlight dances, the moonlight being furnished by an obliging searchlight in the balcony.

THE CONCERT COURSE

Early in the winter, tickets for the concert coursewere on sale. It was impossible not to buy one, for until we couldstand up, look Miss Hootman straight in the eye, and say, “I already have one,” she was on our track. Even if we could have escaped Miss Hootman, we would have had to buy one if we expected to live and get along reasonably well in this world, for we know very well that Miss Shfer made us believe that music was the only sure cure for any ill, mental or physical, that we had ever had, or ever expected to have. Of course, after we had bought our tickets and had heard the concerts, we certainly were not sorry that we had invested, for we got our money’s worth and more, too.

The first of the series of concerts was given by theZoellner stringed quartette on the second of February. This quartette consisted of members from one family, namely: Miss Antoinette Zoellner who played the first violin; Amandus Zoellner, the second violinist; Joseph Zoellner, Sr., who played the viola; and Joseph Zoellner, Jr., the cellist. The entertainment was a great success from every standpoint.

The second concert was given March first by the Minneapolis Symphony Trio; Carlo Fischer, cellist and leader of the trio, Henry J. Williams, harpist, and Joseph Gallicchio, violinist. The fact that this trio had been here last year vouches for its excelIence.

The Winona Symphony Orchestra furnished the music for the third concert. The program was an excellent one and was well executed.

The last concert brought Miss Harriet McConnell to us. She is a promising, young artist and has a powerful contralto voice. Her singing was enjoyed bv all.

CHRISTMAS PARTY

How many times have the students of this normal school gone to delightful parties and expressed their appreciation as they did after the Christmas party given by the Mendelssohn and Dramatic clubs?

As we marched from the kindergarten rooms in the library to the assembly room where girls of the Mendelssohn Club waited with lighted candles to usher us in, we sang 0 Come All Ye Faithful. In a short time, we were listening to a very appropriate play entitled The Other Wise Man. If one could have been outside, he could have judged of the enthusiasm aroused by the play, by the harmonious strains of 0 Wonderful Tree as we passed back to the library gymnasium.

The room was so artistically decorated in Christmas colors that one forgot his troubles and thought he was in fairyland. Streamers of red and green were hung between the railings of the balconies on either side, and the snowy aspect ot winter was created by the cotton hanging from the balconies in the shape of icicles. The lights were covered with rose-colored, tissue paper, casting a fire-light glow on the entire party.

The orchestra was on duty and began playing promptly at nine-thirty o’clock. After the second number of the program, a little snow fairy, in the person ot Kathryn Doran entered and danced a snow-flake dance. At eleven o’clock, chocolate ice cream was served. At twelve o’clock, the strains ot Home, Sweet Home brought the party to a close.

Students and faculty alike felt as if the evening were all too short.

THE FOOTBALL RECEPTION

On the Monday after New Year’s, when the girls were returning to Morey Hall after their two weeks vacation, they found great preparations going on for the football banquet which was to be held that night for the men students and the men of the faculty. The living room was beautifully decorated in purple and white.

When the guests had all arrived, they went down to the dining room in the center of which six tables had been arranged. After grace was said by Mr. Holzinger, they sat down to a most delicious dinner of roast pork, hot biscuits, and regular mince pie. Everyone was so busy eating that there was no time for talking, but after the food had disappeared, tongues were loosened.

If the amount of yelling and laughing is any indication of how good a time they had, then they certainly had the time of their young lives.

FAREWELL BANQUET FOR DR. AND MRS. DICKERSON

NOW this is something that doesn’t happen every day in the week; neither does it happen once in every lifetime. We students felt proud when Dr. Dickerson was elected president of the Moorhead Normal School; but the faculty! ! well, they thought they would take advantage of such a rare event and have a grand, old celebration all by themselves. They decided to have this celebration in the form of a farewell banquet for Dr. and Mrs. Dickerson. It was a regular one, too, you’d better believe.

They had it in the living room of Morey Hall. There were four tables, each laid with covers for twelve. The whole color scheme was carried out in the school colors, purple and white. Streamers in those colors were hung around each light, and plants ot lavender primroses were placed upon each table. The place cards and nut cups were delicately tinted with lavender by the girls of the art class. A fire in the fireplace cast a cheerful glow over everything and made the room cozy and bright.

The evening was certainly a pleasant one, altho, in a way, a sad one, for everyone dreaded to think of Dr. and Mrs. Dickerson leaving.

A Composite Photograph

My fountain pen said unto me, “Indite, indite, some poetree About the Normal facultee.” I cried, “How can I poetize About a thing of such great size Which has all sorts of hairs, and eyes, And heads, and hearts, and shoes and ties.”

“Why that’s a snap,” my pen replied. “Just scramble all these freaky guys Together in your mind Till all the fragments mobilize And all the things you recognize Or criticize Or idolize

In one composite synthesize; Then sing whate’er you find!”

I did what I was told to do And offer theresult to you. Oh, ’tis a mingled mess I sing. With a slap-jack, pearl-jack gait, And a schwabley, scarby, bobby step, And a josephgaylord sort of pep, And a shining, johnsandt pate. ’Tis decked in pritchard richard garb With gaudy gildemeister g. e. m. s. And on its tongue it bears a barb Of hiccup, stalcup haws and hems. It speaks in shaking, slifer sobs, Or hearty, thelmahootman whoops. But sutherlandish accent robs Its speech of every trace of goops. It has a knowing nimocks nose, And a keen and pearson eye. It sits in boresome chapel-pose And sees its thots go by.

Ye gods! release me from this dream! Let me forget this awful theme.

In the High Court of the Universe

Appealed from the Juvenile Court of theW. N. S. Timothy Ronan, Plaintiff vs. W. N. S. Teachers, Defendants. COMPLAINT

COMES now the plaintiff and for his complaint against defendants alleges and shows to the court that during the last seven months plaintiff has attended classes and performed requisite duties in diverse subjects in the W. N. S.; that said plaintiff is deserving of certain credits long past due; that he has demanded the same of the defendants but they have refused to deliver the same to him.

Wherefore plaintiff demands judgment that the defendants deliver said credits to him. Don Holzinger, Attorney for plaintiff. defendant’s answer

For answer to the complaint herein, defendants allege that plaintiff has not performed the duties as prescribed by the standards of the W. S. N. S.; admits that plaintiff has demanded the credits and that they have been refused him. Except as herein stated defendants deny each and every allegation contained in the complaint. Wherefore defendants ask judgment that plaintiff take nothing by this action. Bud Barlowe, Attorney for Defendants. plaintiff’s reply

Comes now the plaintiff and alleges that if he has not performed the prescribed duties, this is because the standard is not a proper one. Plaintiff further alleges that the questions asked him in class by defendants were too elementary for his intelligence; that they lacked depth, and were too trivial to merit answering by plaintiff. Wherefore plaintiff demands judgment as prayed for in the complaint.

EVIDENCE IN THE CASE

Ethan Steffensrud called to testify for plaintiff.

Question by Atty. Holzinger.

Do you know Timothy Ronan, the plaintiff in this case?

A. I do.

Q. Have you knowledge of the school work performed by this plaintiff?

A. I have.

Q. Please state to the court all that you know concerning the work done by the plaintiff in the several subjects which he has taken at the W. N. S.

A. Well, he usually studies his lessons until twelve o’clock at night. He is busy

at them until meal time three times a day. In all of his class recitations that I have heard, he has been prompt and correct.

Cross examination by Atty. Barlowe.

Q. Mr. Steffensrud, how long before midnight is Mr. Ronan studying?

A. About a quarter of an hour. He usually comes in a quarter to twelve.

Q. And how long before his meals is he busy at his lessons?

A. Oh, five or ten minutes. He generally arrives ten minutes early for meals.

Q. Are you in the same classes with the plaintiff?

A. No, sir.

Q. Have you heard him recite in any classes?

A. Yes, once as I was passing the class room door.

(Witness excused)

Dr. Dillon called and sworn.

Q. Have you observed Timothy Ronan’s work in the W. N. S.?

A. I have—especially his work on the playground. He is good at playing with balls.

Q. Is that all he is good for?

A. No, he always wins the support of the rooters at the outside games. As soon as the girls see Tim, they all root for our side.

(Witness excused)

Prof. Reed called and sworn.

Q. Do you recognize the plaintiff?

A. Well, ye - es, but his tie doesn’t exactly match his suit. I am very particular about combinations. Why, one day my wife said, “Why, Robert Atty. Holzinger: Mr. Reed, you will have to confine yourself to the question. Mr. Reed: What was it please? It seems hard for a literary mind to stick to one subject. I like to soar

Q. What has Tim Ronan done for the W. N. S.?

A. Well, I notice that after Tim’s visits to the different outside games, my mail is flooded with letters from girls of those towns which the team visited, asking if Tim Ronan will be here next year and if so, they would like to enroll. The prospects are that he will raise the attendance considerably.

(Witness excused)

Mr. Strand called and sworn.

Question by Atty. Holzinger: Do you know anything concerning the work done by Timothy Ronan in the W. N. S.?

A. 1 do.

Q. Please inform the court as to all of your knowledge concerning that work.

A. Your honor, Timothy is a great help around the assembly and class rooms since he keeps the rest of the bunch in good spirits. He is also a great asset at the dances and social functions of the W. N. S. Then, too, he keeps the halls quiet, and aids in school discipline by taking some of the idle girls out for rides in the little, green auto.

(Witness excused)

Mr. Stalcup called and sworn.

Question by Atty. Holzinger.

Q. Mr. Stalcup, has Timothy Ronan attended any of your classes?

A. Yes.

Q. What kind of work did he do?

A. Well, pretty good I guess. I asked him a question (about the middle of the term) and he had it partly answered when an important question came up and we had a class discussion.

Q. Did he get a credit in your subject?

A. Oh yes. He got an A.

(Witness excused)

Evidence for the plaintiff all received. Mrs. Davis called for defense.

Q. H as Timothy Ronan been in any of your classes?

A. He has.

Q. What kind of work did Mr. Ronan do in your class?

A. Well, Monsieur Ronan isn’t as attentive as the rest of my boys. He frequently dozes off. He is very rude. He doesn’t turn up for conferences and he evades me in the halls.

Q. Do you think he deserves his credits?

A. I really think he doesn’t.

(Witness excused)

PearlGeier called and sworn.

Q. Do you know Timothy Ronan?

A. I do, and I don’t like him.

Q. Why don’t you?

A. Why ee he dances; he chews gum; he plays cards; and he takes all the other girls out riding—and unchaperoned too! I think the stamp of the W. N. S. should be withheld from him.

(Witness overcome with emotion and excused.)

Miss Proctor calledand sworn.

Q. Do you know Tim Ronan?

A. Gracious, I should say I do. He takes writing from me and he’ll never get a Palmer certificate. Any time I’ve been near him, he hasn’t even had his arm in the right place.

Q. Did you give him a credit?

A. I should say not.

(Witness excused)

Mrs. Chorpenning called and sworn.

Question by Attorney Barlowe. Do you know Timothy Ronan?

A. Oh, yes.

Q. What is his attitude toward his school work?

A. There is a great deal of it.

Q. When have you seen it displayed?

A. Slightly, daily in class for two terms, but abundantly, in frequent conferences.

Q. What is the quality of this great quantity?

A. It flowers out in silver-tongued speech, and in smiles that clung to his lips when he kissed the blarney stone.

Q. Then of course he got a credit in your subject?

A. Oh, no!

Q. Don’t you think he deserved a credit?

A. Assuredly not, or I would have given him one.

Q. Well, then, how may a student get a credit in your class?

A. By doing the work.

Q. Did the plaintiff understand this?

A. It was impossible to make him understand without an operation. (Witness excused)

Defendants moved the court for judgment.

Judgment entered for defendants that plaintiff shall not receive credits.

Opinion of court on appeal by St. Peter.

In this case is presented the question of whether the plaintiff’s evidence is sufficient to justify recovery of credits claimed. It is the opinion of the court that his credits be refused, but that plaintiff be permitted to remain in school, as the W. N. S. needs all the men it can get.

Eavesdropping may be a sin; but it is very entertaining for the rest of us. How about this?

“Hello Tex!”

“Yes”

“Oh! We )ust got back from a picnic supper, and we had the best'eats!”

“I’m just so tired that Marjorie had to come down and open my eyes. You see I was asleep when you called.”

“And just think! I have to teach a rote song to-morrow and I don’t know it myself.”

“Jean! are you going to the Leap Year Dance with me Friday night?”

“Well, 1 am asking you now.”

“We asked Miss Richards to-night and she said we could go with the provision that we didn’t take our friends down to the Dairy Lunch.”

“Rather generous, eh?”

“Oh, for cat’s sake!”

“You’re making money, aren’t you?”

“Oh! they just rolled me out of bed, and I’m so tired!”

“Yah, Gen had her uke and we danced n’ everything.”

“Oh! that’ll be swell, won’t it?”

“Urnhu—”

“We have to be in by 7:30.”

“Do you know what Mr. Whitford gave us? Paper cups!”

“Did you try out for the track team to-night? Someone told me you didn’t.”

“Gert Garrigan told me something about you.”

“No, I can’t tell you over the phone.”

“Well, it happened after 4:30.”

“Maurice Howard?”

“Did you really come over to West Lodge for me?”

“For cat’s sake!”

“Oh, you don’t mean it. Now you’re kidding me, Tex.”

“Oh gee!”

“She doesn’t mean any harm.”

“No, I don’t think so —”

“What did you say?”

“Are you sure?”

“Good!”

“It doesn’t sound much as if Miss Slifer were home, does it?’’

“Oil, the kids are talking. I believe they’re discussing if you have blue or brown eyes!”

“I’m so tired Tex, that honest —”

“No, I’ll hang on.”

“Miss Richards took ahold of my arm to-night, and asked me if I was going down to the Dairy Lunch after the dance. I said, ‘No honey!’

“Oh, you weren’t thinking about it very seriously.”

“We didn’t have that much—just enough for ourselves.”

“Listen Tex, please tell these kids to behave themselves. They’re all dressing ior the dance in other people’s clothes.”

“Oh! I’m not supposed to tell you.”

“Going to be swell!”

“Yah?”

“Yah?”

“Quarter after four?”

“Yes—yes—about ten minutes to five or five o’clock.”

“No—yes I do! Well, I know.”

“Well, you better be thinking it’s awful, because it is awful—then, I’ll believe you.”

“No sir, someone told me, honest they did.”

“Oh my goodness!”

“I’m going up and learn my song now—why yes I am!”

“Well you better—good-night Tex!”

“A grasshopper once had a game of tag With some crickets who lived near by, But he stubbed his toe and over he went In the twinkling of an eye; And the crickets they leaned up against the fence, And they laughed till their sides were sore, And the grasshopper said, ‘You are laughing at me And I won’t play any more.’ So off he went, though he wanted to stay, For he was not hurt by the fall. And the crickets went on with their own little game And never missed him at all.”

WHAT OUIJA SAYS

Jack: I don’t see why they don’t allow normal school girls to go to the movies on Sunday nights.

Madeline: I don’t either. The only thing we are allowed to do on Sunday nights, unchaperoned, is to take a little walk; and it’s too cold for that to-night. (The wind is heard blowing from without) It’s frightfully boresome.

Jack (gallantly): Oh, I am not bored.

Madeline (blushing): Oh! Say, I wonder what I am going to get in my Theory of Ed. test to-morrow?

Jack: I am sure I couldn’t tell you; but say, how about asking Ouija?

Madeline (jumping up): Swell, just the thing! (She crosses to the other side of the room and procures the ouija board from under the library table.) Pull your chair up. There, that’s better. Now we must concentrate so it will work. No! Put your hands here. Yes—all right. (To Ouija) What am I going to get in my Theory of Ed test to-morrow? (Silence reigns supreme; soon the board begins to play. It finally stops at B.)

Jack: B! Good for you, old girl. Now what I’d like to know, is whether I am going to Hunk in anything this term or not. (The board moves toward yes, and Jack looks very despondent; but it suddenly changes its mind and goes over to No. Jack breathes a sign of relief.) Well if that’s the case, I see where lil’ me doesn’t do any more work this term.

Madeline: Let’s ask it something about the kids at school.

Jack: Here’s a good one. Ouija, what is the botanical attraction for Bricky Brammer?

Ouija: F-E-R-N-S.

Madeline: Say, Bricky sure fell hard, didn’t he? I never thought that would last, but I guess it’s a go.

Jack: You never can tell! I guess, though, Bricky is settling down pretty good.

Madeline: Ouija, what does Toddy Wilkens think of school?

Ouija: S-L-I-C-K.

Jack: Sohe thinks it’s slick now. Well I’ll bet he will soon think it’s a place for a (significantly) Christian’s son. Say, I wonder why Guy E. Maxwell turned the issuing of excuses over to Miss Richards.

Madeline: Oh, I know one! (To Ouija) Who is it that owns the sentimental bathing suit?

The curtain falls while they are intently bending over the ouija board.

Sees Mary lying on the ground; And Theda, fainted dead away, So She Alone Must Save The Day.

WHEN I discovered that the faculty members were going to attend the delightful dinner dance at the Armory, I tried to conceive a plan by which I might see this notorious galaxy of wit and humor.

The night of the dance I waited at the door, and finally heard this conversation from an approaching pair: “Mary, my throat’s parched. Won’t you give me a stick of your Yucatan before I go in?” “Sure, Floss!, 1 can hear the music, canchew?” “Yep,” Flossie answered and hastened her pace.

As they passed by, I saw Mary in a long-waisted, silk dress of black and white stripes. Her hair was drawn tightly back and done high soas to make her appear less corpulent. Her companion looked adorable in a very filmy gown of the new cobweb georgette crepe, made in the latest bloomer style. The creation is one which is now very popular in Paris, and gave one a suggestion of the Orient. Floss spun merrily on with Mary shambling after, and the evening breeze brought back a whiff of Hudrut’s fifty-cent variety, as chewing wildly and laughing loudly they passed on.

Suddenly someone rushed by me screaming loudly and struggling madly. This sudden outburst made such a hit that Flossie exclaimed, “Isn’t Etta the swell kid? Some bunch of pep, huh?” and Mary assented, “I’ll tell the world!” Etta, The Bold, explained: “Munsy is endeavoring to drop two trained pedicullaris down my back and they are tickling my sense of humor.” She pointed to the guilty one dressed in a tulle, ballet gown with a very fetching crown of paper roses about his head. Upon being questioned, Munsy declared by all that’s H 2 SO4 that the statement was untrue, and went through such contortions that he precipitated the crowd into a spasm of laughter.

At this juncture, Scarby suggested that the bout be called off, and declared that they were now square with the world and the great outdoors.

The ringing of the supper bell interrupted again and they ran greedily to the table to partake of the chop-suey and pink pop provided. They talked and laughed with much gusto, and finally called upon Prexy to give his philosophy of life. When he boldly exclaimed that Omar Khayam had stated it for him, our guests were overcome with mirth-—all but one whom they addressed as Chorpv. She said that she was not acquainted with cheap fiction, and that her year’s reading had covered only such heavy masterpieces as the Alger Series, The Elsie Books, the Glad Books, L. T. Meade, Fove Hints by Faura Jean Fibbey, and several other purely literary gems. In order to save her from further embarrassment, Prexy suggested they sing and that Gaylord lead. One after another their sotto voices caught up the solemn strains of the anthem “Nobody Knows and Nobody Seems to Care.” Suddenly the harmonious discord became so marked they looked for the cause, and Gaylord immediately asked Feila Smith, the monotone, to refrain from partaking in their expression of joy.

The song was interrupted by a meek individual called Hooty who announced a reading to follow. It was a six-line poem composed by Pearson, Grant, Jack, Stalcup, French, and Davis. It ran as follows:

I dance as lightsome as a fay. I work with splendid books all day. I in the model school do teach, And I to naughty students preach, 1 talk to them of X, Y, Z, And I teach them to say, “Oui, oui.”

Alter deafening applause the announcement of the Tickle Toe was given, and accompanied by marvelous music the guests began to dance, chanting weirdly as they did so. Confetti flew; the music grew louder and louder, and made hilarious from the effects of the pink pop, the guests created such a commotion that Reed, the guard, at whose presence everyone trembled, declared the hubbub must cease; so much against their will the guests must needs part. They bade each other a fond farewell and “hippety hopped happily homeward, having had heaps of happiness.”

Morey Hall Tells a Story

OH DEAR, those girls are noisy. It seems as though they haven’t the least bit of consideration for me. I tell you I’ve witnessed a good many scenes, pathetic and otherwise, that wouldn’t have done lor the dean to see. W hat s that? Why, a “pathetic” scene is one which usually takes place in a room where there are two girls trying to study, a process which is well-nigh impossible because of the presence of four or five other girls who ought to be in their own rooms but who don’t know enough to go there without being kicked. But the most pathetic part of all is the monemt when the dean gives a gentle rap, steps inside, and begins telling the girls her candid opinion of them.

I suppose I’m an old crab, and that I ought to be glad that the girls can have such good times within my walls, but really, it’s rather discouraging. You know they clean me all up so nicely and then they go and fry beefsteak or something like that and get me all spattered and greasy right away again. Then they wash their dishes and pour the dirty, old dishwater down my throat, and sometimes I get mad and absolutely reluse to swallow it. Finally, a woman comes along and doses me up with a white powder that she calls Dutch Cleanser, and that seems to clear my alimentary canal so that I have to swallow it.

Talk about eating! I never saw anything like it in all my lite. Those girls eat three square meals a day, half a dozen lunches in between times, and then they are so hungry that they have to go over to Whitford’s.

One term, there were so many “pathetic” scenes during study hours that the girls weren’t ready to go to bed when it was time, so they would take their books and sit out in the hall under the lights. It certainly was a queer sight when they got themselves arranged. I can see them yet, in their bathrobes with their pigtails hanging down their backs and their faces all smeared with some kind of a funny-looking, white stuff; some sitting, some standing, and some lying flat on the floor. If they saw anything down the hall that looked like a white, corduroy bathrobe, I tell you there was a grand scramble.

They used to have some real nice parties downstairs. I remember at Thanksgiving time, I began to think that maybe I was a regular cabaret instead of just a girls’ dormitory. The majority of the girls went home but those who stayed must have invited other people in because I saw quite a number of strange faces there. Some of those faces belonged to the faculty. Oh my, the tables were (ust loaded with good things to eat—turkey and everything! Every once in a while, the people would stop eating and some one would get up and say something; then every one would laugh. I heard some one say something about toasts, but I couldn’t see any and I looked for it, too. I guess that I would have recognized it if it had been there, for I’ve seen heaps of it every morning since I was created. When the people had eaten so much that they were uncomfortable, they’d get up and dance, and then go back and eat some more. I liked that kind of a party; everybody seemed so happy.

At Christmas time they had a nice party, too. After dinner, they went up to the part of me that they call the living-room, where there was a wonderful Christmas tree with lots of presents on it. Miss Richards let Mr. Maxwell and Mr. French be Santa Claus. Every person got a present and some of them were such funny ones. Miss Richards got a sackful of gum and gumdrops. Mr. Maxwell got such a pretty, red ball! I heard someone say that it wasn’t made of rubber at all, but of red tape. Anyway, he seemed real pleased with it.

Oh, I tell you, I’ve seen and heard everything that has gone on here, but I’m not going to tell all that I know; that would never, never do.

Alter all, I do hate to part with this bunch of girls;they’re a pretty decent sort and I suppose the next ones may be a whole lot worse.

Henry

I came to M orev Hall in fear, Such strange things were in store. The kindliest face that 1 did see Was Henry’s at the door.

“Well, did you get your trunk all right, And is your room quite warm?”

I felt with such a one about, That 1 could meet no harm.

Oh, it’s Henry this, and Henry that, It’s Henry all day long. We call on Henry every time. No matter what goes wrong. No matter what goes wrong, my girls, No matter what goes wrong, W e call on Henry every time, No matter what goes wrong.

Each morning as we he in bed, Before we hear the bells, The radiator sings aloud And this is what it tells:

“Oh, in the wee hours of the dawn Your best friend was about, To make each room a cozy place When you should tumble out.”

Oh, it’s Henry this, an^l Henry that, It’s Henry all the while.

Our Henry is a dandy scout, And always wears a smile. He always wears a smile, my girls, He always wears a smile, Oh, Henry is a dandy scout, And always wears a smile.

Yes, Henry gets the mail for us, And rakes and mows the lawn, He tends the furnace faithfully, At work before the dawn. But do we ever stop and think, When prompt he meets each whim, And grins about each endless task, How much we owe to him?

Yes, it’s Henry this, and Henry that, And Henry it shall be!

Let’s smg a song for Henry, And give him three times three, Let’s give him three times three, my girls, Let’s give him three times three, Let’s sing a song for Henry And give him three times three—!

Under a neatly shingled roof, The Dean’s neat dwelling stands, The Dean’s a straight and austere dame, With small and dainty hands. And the rules which issue from her pen Are strong as iron bands.

Her hair is soft and gray and curled, Her face is on a proper plane, Her brow is seamed with lines of care, She rules whene’er she can. And looks each maiden in the face, And sternly deals with man.

Toiling rejoicing sorrowing, Onward thru life she goes, Each morning sees some rule begun, Each evening sees it close. Some little lecture, something done, She needs a night’s repose.

OUR STORE

THE subject of this sketch, as you have noticed is “OUR STORE”. We want to tell you a few things of real interest about it. As to the vast stocks of merchandise we display:

We search all markets, both far and near, for the right kind of merchandise. Every article that comes into this store must meet our high standard of quality; goods that are inferior, are not accepted at any price. We are building for the future as well as the present, and know that our success depends entirely upon our ability to serve you satisfactorily.

By serving you satisfactorily, we mean that every purchase you make here, be it, a Suit, Hat, Coat, Dress, Shoes, Silks, Jewelry, Drugs, Hose, Underwear, Gloves Wash Goods, Buttons or Pins, must give you your money’s worth; that when it is gone, you will feel that your purchase was a good value. Nevertheless, in spite of all our carefulness, some one article at some time or other, may not be just right, may not meet with your expectations, and when this does happen, we respectfully ask you to notify us of it at once, we will consider it a favor, and will gladly make the matter right. One hundred cents worth for every dollar expended.

NOT OUR KIND

We have all heard the tale of one of our men escorting one of the girls home and attempting to kiss her. When she refused, he exclaimed, “Well, you’ll never be a social success in this school if you act that way.”

Does he knowthat we know? Does he know what we think?

Miss Pearson, in Gym—“Will someone please open the windows? Now, girls, throw your chests out.”

Mrs. Chorpenning, to her Literature class—“I don’t think that this will be any harder to digest than the Bacon I put on your reading list.”
