Senior Class History
As the niniiiitaiii climber Uiriis ami lielinlils with ,!;ratihcati(in the countrv
he has left behind him, so the class of I'-'l/ turns with a similar feeling to
recollections of the ])ast.
Our class was organized in the fall of l''l,\ when about one-third of our
present number enrolled at C. S. X. S. as Freshmen. We took part in the
school during the year, and our loyalty to our chosen colors — sky blue and
gold — was \erv ]ilainlv shown during commencement.
As Sophomores we carried out our work diligentl_\- and lociked forward
to our Junior year with great expectation.
In the opening of the school year in September. I'M.^ mn numl)ers were
greatlv increased and we began the work of another year, taking part in all
the phases of school life. The one feature of the year that we will never
forget was the Junior Party, which we held on February 22. .\t the end
of the school vear came State Board. \\'e all dreaded this ordeal but after
two (lavs of hard work we all came out victorious.
Our class came back in September with the determination to make the
vear a success. The Senior Picnic was one of the enjoyable events of the
Fall Term. ( )ur class play, "All-of-a-Sudden-Peggy," was presented at
Thanksgiving time and it was considered a great success.
lUit wh\- relate all this? What does it mean to others? It simply means
that the class of 1"'17 was in it for a mixture of work and sport, and that we
will go forth from our .\lma Mater ready to do our part in the betterment of
the world.

ALICE C. PORT

Alice is one of the faithful few
w^ho attended school here thru the
entire course. She obtained hei
earlv education in the Public and
Model Schools of Clarion. After
itraduatinsr from the Model School,
she entered Normal in the class of
1917.
Thru the entire course Alice has
been very active in all the athletic
sports, for "Gym" is her favorite
class. She has been in all the class
basket-ball teams, and our Sopho-
more captain. Tennis is her chief
sport, and few girls can surpass
her on the courts.
Her highest ambition is to be-
come a gymnasium teacher, but we
are afraid she will change her mind,
judging from the number of letters
she receives. Whatever she may
undertake we predict for her a
bright and happy future.

Her love for cats and cana-

ful career at C. S. N. S. She
has a private car built for two. but
it runs well only when given loose

spirit.

ny river. She received her education
in the Kinzua Hinh School and in
the Smethport HiK'h School. She ar-
rived here in the fall of 1915. We
find her "happy-Ko-lucky. come what
may. and if everythinK jroes all

I.uella once declared that she could
live on Latin altho it is a dead

ready to help anyone in need, es-
pecially when a rope is needed to
aid in serving refreshments from
the window.
She never has any extra time,
for she is taking an extensive cor-
respondence coui*se, and always has
about fifteen letters to write. She
is very fond of agriculture, but she
is quite timid when Prof. Reaveley
asks her to step to the front of the
room. Her favorite expression is,
"I am so sick of this old place."
Whatever her life work may be we

VESTA LONG
Sykesville. Pa.
One beautiful morning in the
month of May there arrived at the
home of S. B. Lohk. a little blue-
lyed Kirl whom thev decided to
name "Vesta." She spent her early
years in the Sykesville school, and
liiter srraduated from the S. H. S. in
1HI.5. By careful consideration she
decided to come to C. S. N. S.,
where she joined the famous class
of 1917.
You can always tell who is com-
ing when you hear some one rushing
ii'iwn the hall, and quickly recede
into her room all out of breath, say-
in'j. "Oh. dear ! I just ran into Miss
Nolin." Although her birthstone is

DON L. ROBISON

Don's early education was com-
pleted in the Model School of C. S.
N. S.. and afier his graduation from
the Model School, he came to the
Normal and joined the class of
1916. owing to unavoidable circum-
stances, he was forced to leave
school for a year, but came back
and joined the class of 1917. In
school affairs. Don has been active.
His great specialty is basket-ball,
with squibbling with the ladies as
a close second. We cannot tell defi-
nitely if Don is pro-German, but at
any rate his affections seem center-
ed at Berlin.

Altho our "Weeze* is a oroficient
student along all lines she always
finds time to pay sufficient atten-
tion to her looks. Ver>' early in the
morning or very late at night you
may see her giving her nose a few-
dabs with a chamois. "Weeze" is
exceedingly fond of literature which
is shown by the fact that on pleas-

quotation : -
"There is pleasure in the pathless
woods.
There is rapture on the lonely shore.
There is society where none intrudes

TWILA STARR
U rock way ville. Pa.
The day March 23. 1897. was
a very imporlant one in the Starr
hf. use hold, for it was there that a
blue-eyed baby came to Ibis mun-
dane sphere, and was later named
Twila by her fond parents. She
went to school for some time in
U rock way ville, her home town,
where she graduated. After leaving
Dubois, she came to Clarion to com-
plete ( ?» her education. She is fond
of reading, and of visiting Dubois.
She says she studies by spurts and
likes Agriculture and Arithmetic :
but also says if she could eet Physics
she'd feel as iho she were in Hea-
ven, but instead it Kets her. She is
one of our downtown students and
says she likes to walk. She aspires
to become an interpreter of foreign
lanffuasres. and looks forward to a
lonK old aKe. We wonder why?
JAMES ARNER
Clarion. Pa.
The close of the nineteenth cen-
tury marked the beEinnin^ of this
worthy Senior's career, and it is a
puzzle to us just how it will end.
Jim received his earlv education
in the Public School of Clarion,
but after finishing his Freshmen
year in Hiph School, he decided to
continue his education in C. S. N. S.
He very wisely joined the class of
1917. Jim at once became popular
with the farer sex i we are not
able to say with which one he is
the most popular, but we often hear
him speak of Helen, especially in
Virgil I. Success to you, Jim. in
whatever you undertake.
LENA McMANIGLE
Brookville. Pa .
In the fall of 1913 this little
brown-eyed lass came as a Freshie
to C. S. N. S. She worked dilligent-
ly and had at last realized her aim,
that of a worthy graduate. We all
know Lena to be a jolly, good na-
tured girl, for we always hear her
merry laugh wherever she goes.
Lena has overcome most of the
difticulties that beset her oath here,
but the greatest one confronts her
when she hears that six-thirty bell
and says. "Oh. a half hour more of
sleep will do me so much good."
( Blessed be the man who invented
slee)* I . Consequently Lena is rarely
seen at breakfast. Nevertheless, we
predict a happy and successful fu-
ture for her.

She is one of our jolly, good na-
tured girls, who has a reputation
for being quiet. She has good class
.spirit and she is always willing to
lend a helping hand whenever it
is needed. We prophesy that her
work as a teacher will be short, for
already we can see her a "Baker's"
wife.

on a bright morning in

Hazel. This little brown-eyed

School and being ambitious joined

Hazel is a very diligent girl and
is one of our best students, especi-
ally in German.
We do not know what her future
occupation will be, but we trust that
.•ill follow her.
BONNIE CONRAD
Brookville. Pa.
Bonnie, one of Brookville's charm-
ing lassies, having finished her
praiseworty course at B. H, S.,
k'raduating with the class of 1913,
decided to become a member of
Clarion State Normal. But the fol-
luwinir year, the White School, near
Mahoning, claimed her as its teach-
i'V. After a year full of interesting
Hxperiences as a "school marm," she
is back again at Clarion, joining the
class of 1917. Tho Bonnie will make
a good, dignified teacher, we fear
that she will not follow this pro-
fession long, for an owner of a lit-
tle Ford claims much of her valu-
able attention.
DEAN CONNER
Port Allegany. Pa.
Dean first joined the class of
1916. but after due consideration
decided to teach a year and then re-
turn to graduate under the Blue and
Gold. As we have said. Dean joined
the class of 1916 in heart and soul
and from observation we judge that
his heart still remains with that
class, altho his body and soul are
with the class of 1917. Dean is well
versed along the lines of photo-
gaphy and bluffing. He is a very
energetic and progressive young
man and from the reports that come
to us this year he is making a suc-
cess of his work.

She believes in sleepint; while oth-

GERDA KRANTZ. "MUTT"

One of the most beloved members
of the class of 1917 is our Gerda.
always smiling and happy, she car-

She could unfold wondrous tales of
alarm clocks that go off in the
dead of night, sheets mysteriously
sewed together, and other peculiar
happenings. She is always interested
in the exploits of Mutt land JetTi.
Her favorite expression is "O my

know that her place in the hearts
of those who know her could never
accept a substitute.

the common school in Butler county.
She then decided to try her luck at
C. S. N. S.. so enrolled as a Freshie
in the illustrious class and complet-
ed that year successfully. The next
year her people moved to Butler,
so she took the Sophomore year in
Hiffh School. But the call of her
"Alma Mater" was too strone to re-
sist, so in Januarj-. 1916. she re-
joined the class she had deserted
and resumed her studies in C. S. N.

early years were spent in the quiet

her study of Botany, especially the
study of "Beans." kept her busy.
Somethintr must have happened to

contented, she has her worries too.

The Senior Picnic
( )ne 1)1 the most ir.tcres' iiit; events of the fail term was the Senior Picnic.
Such an e\ ent is one of the never-to-be-forgotten type.
On the afternoon of ( )ctober 12th the Senior Class and the P'aculty started
(Hit with baskets, containing all the goc)d things to eat that one could im-
agine. We gathered in a beautiful spot that had been pre-arranged, about a
half mile from school. Immediately, operations commenced. The first event
on the ])nigrani of activities was a base ball game, girls versus boys, ^i the
class. .As ma\' be expected, the .girls were victorious, running up a high
score on their opponents.
However, the game was not all pleasure, for our Mary K., in scoring a
run for the team, was so unfortunate as to badly injure her ankle. It was
manv a day before our friend could walk, and then with great difficulty.
After the ball game, several other contests were scheduled, some of
which were three-legged races, tugs of war, Indian wrestling, potato races,
sack races, and many other interesting games. The page of views shows
with hnw much enthusiasm the games were received.
.After our contests were finished, we grouped ourselves and posed lor a
photograph. The picture, fortunately, does not show that Tommy fell from
her ])erch and soiled her white dress.
lUit best, in all our fun, was the picnic su]3per. Mr. Mathews had kindly
arranged to jiresent us with all the picnic delicacies that one could desire.
(), those weiners, masted over o])en coals, and that fragrant coffee, and
those ilelici( us olives anil jiickles, and all the rest of the "fruit of the land."
Surelv, the Facnltv ;in(l the Senior Class will not scon forget the picnic
of the class of '17.

ed. It was at our first class meeting that the well-known "Sjiirit" and ■'I'ep"
of the Junior class was put into motion.
On Monday afternoon. Fel)ruar}- 18th. the big dining room of Xa\-arre
Hall was dressed in a new gown of red and white. What for? For the
Junior Party, of course. The Junior "Hop" was planneil and carried out to
a T. We feel that the faculty and studer.ts of C. S. X. S. will not soon forget
this successful event.
The class of '18 displayed itself in the class basketball scries. E\en the
X'arsity five was made up of several Junior bovs.
lionor was thrown to our chiss when two of our inmiber were chosen
l)y the facult}- for the Iiiter-Xorma! Debate.
The days are passing rapidly, but we feel 'hat we as a class are doing
our dut}- and shall ne\er be ashamed to look back over the year of '16 and '17.
But tliis brings us up to the present day: our warriors eager: success,
glor}' and triumph are inevitable.

Junior Class Poem
There is ;i class in C S. X.
That's noted far and wide.
It is the class of 1-0-1-8.
That's looked upon with ])ride.
These Juniors study lessons well.
And always i ? I have high marks ;
Yet they are jolly boys and girls.
And sometimes have their larks.
I Jut spirit reigns among that class,
When Seniors, brave and bold.
Do take from them their night in Gym —
A "special right," we're told.
Our teams in baskel'uall are .great,
.\nd honors have they won — •
Our boys defeated" every class —
.\nd the girls defeated some.
Our president is loved by "all,"
He's "pierced" some hearts they say.
But the Juniors will progressive be.
If he never goes away.
.And in our class we"\"e "liniment" Sloan.
-And "Perses," "Stoves" and "Pete."
\\ e've "Hunters." "Hughes." and "Gills'
Our class? It can't be beat.
W e've "Bunnies " father's guiding hand
To land us safe and sound,
-And next year we will Seniors be.
.Anil wear a "Wisdom" crown.

Model School
Tin- aim oi tlie practice ilcpartiiiciit, ihc (k'ljartment more commonly
called ihc Model School, is to i^repare the members of the Senior Class for
tile profession of teaching, enablint,^ them to i)iU into practice, the principles
of education that they have had throutjlunil the course, and to send them out
with a practical knowledge of the theory and the art of teaching', and with
al)ilil\-, judgment, and confidence which come onl}- in the practice of the
school rooiu.
To us as Senitjrs, the work in the Model School, is one of the most, if
not the most important work in our Senior year. Each Senior is required
to teach one period a day for the entire year, and is given charge of a different
grade, and as far as possible, a different class each term. The work is plan-
ned hv the practice teacher, and is ap])ro\-e<l by the supervisors, .Mrs. Jcnks,
rrinci])al, and Miss llaniniond, .\ssislant.
The Senior teachers are called together about once a week for formal
criticism. .Mistakes are noted and corrected and the pedagogical work is
taken up in a systematic way. Not only does the Critic teacher correct er-
rors in teaching and personality, but she entleavors to discover power and
abilit\- and thus encourage and ins])ire the teachers.
We are eager to do our best so that we ma_\- be able to manage our own
schools, where we are to be btith sui)er\isor and teacher. We therefore ac-
ce])t all criticism in the same cheerful manner that it is given.
The work in the Model School includes the eighth grades. The work
accomplished is etjual to that accomplished by a graded city school. \\'hen a
pupil graduates from the Model School he is fully prepared to enter the first
vear of the Normal Course, lie can go on with lhe work of the Model
School and coiuplete his work more thoroughly.
.\n item of sjjecial interest has been added to the course this year; the
practice of caring for a "'refractory gnmter."
Teaching in the Model School is like work of any kind. It teaches us
that life is not all sunshine, but when we remember our trium])hs in the
Model School at C. S. N. S. we tro at our work with renewed vigor.

Debate
An important part of onr school life at Clarion is the debating clni) un-
der Miss Carpenter and Prof. Reaveley.
After school opened in September, the people who were interested in
debate, met in Music Hall on Monday evenings, and there many interesting,
every-da}- questions were debated.
In the Winter Term, the work began in earnest. "Resolved, that the
President of the United States should be elected by the popular vote of the
people," was the question for the debate with California. California elected
to take the affirmative side of the question.
.\s a result of the trial debate. Dee Albert, Doris Baeuerlin, and George
Gwinn were the speakers chosen to represent Clarion. They commenced
working with a vim, and on the night of the debate, although two of the
three judges decided in favor of California, we were proud of our repre-
sentatives.
( )f the four debates that have been held between California and Clarion,
California has won two, and Clarion has won two. \\'e are more than anxious
to win the next year's contest.
After the debate, a reception was held for the debaters, the assistants,
and the judges, and all reported a fine time. The next morning the Cali-
fornia people left Clarion, feeling that they hail been with friends.
The Debating Club takes this means to thank Miss Carpenter and Prof.
Reaveley for their efforts, and for the splendid work that they enabled the
speakers to do.

of this year have been musical.
Christmas Vesper Service
One of the most enjoyable proj^ranis was the Christmas Vesper Service
given by the Model School assisted by the Choir.
Choir
In the luid-winter recilal in January, the fnlluwint;" jiiano students took
part: Marjorie Dinilap, N'iviau I'.uruham, Catherine IJalleutine, Gladys
Rhodes, Lucile Hovis, C.eraldiue Carrier, Jessie Stewart, and Louise Tischen-
dorf. The deliiihtful manner in which the students played indicated that
they had accpiired decided proficiency and techni(|ue with the ability to ren-
der the classics artisticall}-.
Easter Vesper Service
At the \'esper Ser\ice on Easter Sunday the \'es]:)er Choir presented
Stainer's "The l)au,L;hter of Jarius" under the direction of Miss Bent. It
was considered by all the l)est performance that had been given for some
time. Miss ^Marjorie Eddinger. Soi)rano, of St. Petersburg, was the prin-
cipal soloist. The other soloists were Misses llammarmiller and Shafer and
Mr. Thomas.
The old custom of carol singing early on Sunday morning was carried
out by the choir. The choir caroled in front of the homes of the members
of the facultv li\ing off the campus, and the ministers of the town. The
response more than compensated the singers for the extreme early hour.
Monday Night "Sings"
The social half hour after dinner on ]\Ionday nights was converted into
a very dismal half hour for some l)y the singing of College Songs, which
meant NO WHISPERING.
Y. M. C. A. Entertainment
Part of this entertainment was given over to music. Ei\e selections from
Gilbert and Sullixan's "Pinafore" were rendered in costume and acting.
"Prec" made a very dignified captain, "Bunny" and ".\rt" rejiresented Sir
Joseph Porter and Ralph. They were assisted by a grou|) of other sailors.
****** *
The Bancroft male (|uartette and the Franklin Girls Sextette still exist
and respond when called upon 1)_\- their respective "managers."
There's music in the sighing of a reed ;
There's music in the gushing of a rill;
There's music in all things, if men had ears ;
Their earth is but an echo from the spheres.

Base Ball
There was rejoicing among tlie base ball fans when, on the morning of
April 10, Prof. Reese announced that Mr. Rollin Davis had signed a contract
to coach the fast Normal team for the season of 1917. In all preparatory
schools one is unable to find a more elTicient coach than Mr. Davis. His
personality appeals to every member on the team. He believes in correlating
base ball with the educational curriculum.
Prof, ^^'ilkinson has arranged a fine schedule. Our big games are witli
Slippery Rock Normal. Kittanning High. Reynoldsville High. Currensville
High, and the Brookville Collegians.
At the opening of the season the outlook has never been more promising,
as Stitt, Rossman, Haines, Meredith, Schmecker. and Davis, all former stars
and lettered men, are all back to represent old C. S. N. S.
Captain Stitt and Byrd Davis will do the bulk of the twirling, ^\'ayne
^^"histner, one of Clarion's best catchers, will do the pegging from behind
the bat. "Shorty" Miller, a new find, will check all grounders around short
stop. He is little but fast. Rossman will be found at third base, whose bat
has won many a game. At the keystone sack, we will find "Kid'" Meredith,
who is one of the best all-around players on the team. Haines will cover the
initial sack. He is capable of stopping anything that comes his way. The
outfield will be composed of Robison. Davidson, and Schmecker. all timely
hitters, and excellent fielders. The subs probably will be Keck. Cowan, and
WhitehiU.

Aside from the other (ir,L;aiiizatiiiiis (if the Chirion Xi)rmal Schnul, ihe

work (if the Franklin Literary Society. This society aims to tiffer to the
|)ul)lic not only an entertaining program, e\ery two weeks, hut also to give
each member an op])ortunity to culti\ate his literary talents, to help each in
his future work, and, through research in pre])aration, gi\e him a wider
scope of different sultjects.
The pr(jgTams are planned 1)\- a committee, presided over bv a member
of the faculty, who works out each |)rogram, along lines of literature, tra\el,
art, and originality.
Reading is not a tool, a key. but a gate througli which one gets at man}'
things. The jo^'s and rev\ards (if literature, the images of history, the facts
of nature, and the details of handcraft, all these, the participants learn to
know.
At the end of each scho(.il year there is held a contest between the rival
societies. .\t our last c(jntest the decision was a tie in jioints, Init the
Franklins, undaunted, with still more courage and enthusiasm, are again
ready to meet their rivals, and imder their colors, to sail, not behind but

The Young \\'omen's Christian Association is one of the truly active
organizations of the Clarion Xormal. It is the most important factor in the
religious life of the young women and it is far reaching in its influence. The
association aims, through its various activities, to strengthen the spiritual
life and to lift the social side of school life to a higher standard.
We were again fortunate in having with us in January, Miss Lovejoy.
Dean of Women at State College, whose suggestions were found to be very
helpful. The Week of Prayer or World's Fellowship Week was observed
bv holiday prayer services each evening after dinner.
.All the regular Wednesday evening meetings during the Winter Term
were held in the Reception Room of Navarre Hall and were informal with
the discussion of topics and (juestions which relate to the everyday life of
the girls.
The association looks forward to the coming year as one that will be full
of inspiration and success, under the leadership of the new officers and the
co-operation of the faculty and all of the girls.

Young Men's Christian Association
Taken as a whule, the \v(jrk df the Yuuny .Men's Christian Association
during the school year l''16-17. lias heen \ery creditable.
The joint receptions conducted by the "S". M. C. A. and Y. W. C. .\. at
the beginning of each term were well attended. The interest shown at
these receptions manifested itself in the \ari(ius activities of the associa-
tion throughout the whole school year.
During the fall term the \\ ednesday e\ening prayer meetings were well
attended. The Elliott and Cutler "Student Standards of .\ction" was taken
up as a guide in the study of student problems, and much interest was shown
in the discussions.
in the winter term, mission study classes were organized with good
results.
With the assistance of Mr. Ehlers, the student secretary of the ^'. M.
C. A., the two associations conducted a short campaign to raise money for
the "Prison Relief Fund." The money was raised in a spirit of self-sacrifice,
and was to be sent as part of the relief fund to the belligerent countries. The
students and facultv responded nobly to the call and the result was a sum
of $223. . ' '
Perceiving what the association has done in the past and judging from
what we know it will do in the future, the outlook for a new' school year
is verv encouraging.

and before she knew it, the big car drew up beside her. She ipiickh' ])ointed
to her suitcase and hop|)ed in.
.-\ few minutes later a large touring car drew u]) for Hob Moore. Me
<|uicklv grabl)ed his suitcase and made a rush for the car.
Jane was taken immediatelx' to her room as she had barely eimugh time
to ilress for dinner. At dinner she was to meet the other guests, ami after
dinner, Alarjorie was giving a little dance, inviting the house-party of boys
from across the lake.
Jane threw off her things, and opened her suitcase just as the maid en-
tered the room. As she lifted the co\-er she beheld a dark, heavy mass, very
different from her daint_\- dinner gown. She gasped as the maid pulled out
the coat of a man's full-dress suit. She unpacked further and found all the
things necessary for a man's dinner suit.
Jane's trunk could not come till the ne.xt da_\-. She had just brought her
dinner gown and a few things for the night. "Why, wdiat shall I do," she
exclairned. "Please call Miss Sherman," she whispered breathlessly to the
poor, bewildered maid.
As the maid left the room, Jane started an in\estigation into the suit-
case. In her excitement, she upset the wdiole thing. There upon the top of
the pile, she looked into her own face. There upon the top of the pile was
MTW^m^^Wl
lier own picture that she had nixcn cxchisivcly to her ilearest .c;irl friends.
"Will the mysteries never cease," moaned the excited ;,drl. Inst then Mar-
joric came in.
'"Why Jane — Why dear — What is it?" She j^danced at the heap on the
rtoor. "Is that — a man's suit? .Mercy on us— jane."
"Now do calm yourself. Martje, and let me ex])lain, if I can. Don't
think for a moment that the thintjs helonfj to me. Heaven only knows where
I got them. All I know is that I have it — and here it is, and I know that I
haven't my own suitcase. Now what can 1 do for a dimier gown? Have
you got something that I ?"
"Now, for goodness sake, do he sensible, honey," laughed Marjorie.
"Vou know that you would look like a sixteen year old in one of mine.
That's what you get for being so tall. The other girls have just come and
you know that there is not a single trunk up yet."
Jane sank limply- into a chair. They looked at each other for a moment.
"O, Jane, you wear that suit and be my brother. 1 have kept you for a
surprise, and the other girls don't e\en know that m u are here or whether
I ."
"Me," shrieked Jane. "Me wear that? \\ ear a "
"Of course, dear — who will know the difference? Tomorrow, w-hen the
trunks arrive, my brother will be gone and you will arrive. You must be at
dinner, and — O Jane, just be a sport. Pretend you are at a masquerade."
"Stop, fair teaser," commanded jane. "I bow to your requests. Jack
Sherman shall be the best brother that you ever had."
Shortly before dinner she was ready. She made a good looking, if a
trifle effeminate man.
In the mean time, all was not bliss across the lake.
"Well for goodness sake. Hob, use a little judgment, llow man\- chang-
es do you expect a fellow to have when his trunks are not in and when he
has been expecting to live out of a traveling bag for two da\s. Be reasonable,
son, be reasonable. You know that I would give you anything that I have
if I could."
Be reasonable, son. he reasonable, " mocked Bob. "You don't even pre-
tend to suppose that I'd a])pear at a dance in that — that tomfoolery of a "
"Beautiful gown," sujjplied joe Starr.
"Good Heavens," gasped a voice at the door, as Bill Stone popped his
head in. "How long since you have been wearing skirts instead of trous-
ers. Moore?''
"You get out and shut u])," shouted Bob.
There followed a long silence, some strong language, and another pause*
"All right, Joe. Get me into the superb doll afTair and I will be — Well,
what — what will I be?"
"Be my sister; I'll be good to you. Come on now. si>n. buck up. The
worst is vet to come."
M Hu^m^^uM
"Say, get }-our foot out of that sleeve and ilon"t lean on my neck so
hard. Xow, whatever you do, don't fall over your own skirt, or your own
feet, or someone else's skirt or feet. ("let P>ud to fix your complexion and
I will get vou a wig."
Si) the Inisy work progressed. Twn hooks, unused to such strenuous
tugging, broke and had to be sewed on. I'.ol) had to jnit on small slippers
and be annoyed generally. As they ste]i])ed into Joe's launch that took them
across the lake, he swore ne\er to l)e a girl again. .\nil frnni the bottom of
his heart, he pitied girls.
At the dance, he was miserable and bored to death. He didn't even dare
to smoke, as the fellows assured him that it wasn't the usual thing for ladies,
and some one might see him.
On the other hand, Jane had to keep in the background and one of the
men just forced her to try one of his splendid Persian cigarettes. She had
noticed Bob in her gown an'l she was sure that he had recognized his suit.
Finally, she sank into a divan in the hall. .All the misfortunes taken in
a lump, were too much for her. She felt too bad to care now.
"Pardon me." said a strange voice, "^'ou are on my skirt. " She looked
up to see her gown. P>ob Moore looking down at his suit.
"Have you always been such a gentleman?" asked Bob.
"Xo, and neither have you always been such a — Oh. I'm so sick. "
Bob c|uietly called a maid and they !0(ik her up stairs. Before long she
was feeling better and sent Bob a note which read: "Do you reall}' want to
be a man? Then follow the maid ami sav nothing."
Follow her, he did. in double i]uick time. He had.n't enjoyed being
ladylike. For some time the maid and the butler were effecting an exchange
of garments in the hall, from one door to another, away dov.n the hall.
.\t last they both emerged. Jane was Jane, and Bob was Bob. Bob
immediately recognized Jane as the girl in a picture that he had taken away
from his cousin, hoping, but never expecting to see the original. He had
taken a fancy to it and had made it one of his collection.
.\t the foot of the stairs they ]iauscd. \\\iuld they go into the dance or
out on the lake. They chose the lake.
.\s they glided smoothlv over the lovclv moonlit lake. Bob told Jane
about the girl in the picture — how he had fallen in love with her and how
now he was in love with the real girl. Far awa}- from them all about the
lake, tiny lights flickered and winked at them, like little eyes. The shore
seemed like a silver fringe, in the moonlight. The sky was a beautiful jewel-
set dome. Soft music of the dance was wafted out to them on the breeze.
Their canoe seemed to dance to the melodies in perfect harmony.
The music grew fainter and fainter as they drifted farther out upon the
lake — into shadowland and into ha])piiu'ss.

Decked out in modern guise,
Dont' frown and call the thing a joke —
Just laugh and don't look wise.

A Tale of Navarre Hall
III llic little room of seventy-six,
You'll find two girls, full of tricks,
And if you wish to know their names,
"Pis lleU'n Keed rind Susie Jane.
\ow these two girls are full of fun.
And all the tricks that they ha\e done,
I'm sure that you'd not wish to know.
Yet neither of them has a beau.
Perhaps this woidd the cause exi)lain,
Why they cannot a fellow gain.
For when they have one on a night,
llis treatment is a holy fright.
The teachers, too, do get their share
Of treatment froin this maiden pair.
The tricks that they are up to when
You hear the bill ring out "'tis ten!"
I'm sure that you'd not wish to learn.
For in their pranks they act in turn,
And by the pennies that they have spent,
Thev worrv Miss Nolin and Miss Bent.
In studies these both are good,
You don't really see how they could.
With all their tricks and pranks and jest
Could really do their very best.

Philosophy
Smile if you are thin, lauyh it you are fat. and if you are neither, just giin.
Smile every time that you think about it. and you will soon get the habit.
Smile if it kills you and you will die with a grin on your face.
Do not wait till you have twenty-five dollars to deposit it.
Do not deposit money with the idea of withdrawing it in a short time.
Do not wait till you are so old that you will no longer ha\e the am-
bition to save.
Do net withdraw your account the moment that }ou get a little hard
up and then have the weakness to regret it forever afterward.
There's so much bad in the best of us
And so much good in the worst of us,
That it hardly behooves any of us.
To talk about the rest of us.

You must needs to walk the chalk.
How we'll Uiiss those controversies
That we had at ten o'clock —
Hut this "type of thing's"' forbidden,
And we must walk the chalk.
For our "reputation's needed,

If you would stay in school,

The Normal Bell
Here's to the bell in the tower, and the string,
Long may it toll and long may it ring,
To end the classes and bring the joys,
As it did to us when we were boys.
I'nim Dad's room we watched it ring
\\ ith its pectiliar ding, dong. ding,
And from Jacky's room, it often chimes
To the musical tune of "thirty-three lines."
The only time the bell brought fate
Was when we came to Egbert's door, too late,
Oft when it rang, it made us happy, not dim,
Because it told us. "our turn to skip Gym."
In the days to come, some bell may remind us
Of the happy days we left behind us,
These thoughts will help us to tell
Of the Clarion Normal, and the bell.

Just sit still and look up calmly
At the teacher, and the rest,
Thd }(iur legs are all a (|ui\er.
And your heart has left your chest.
When the lightning strikes about you.
Keep up courage. Don't forget
That tho you are in danger
There are many chances yet ;

From the wrath of Juno's wrong,
You, perhaps, may yet be rescued
By the ringing of the gong.

\\\''\c Conic I'rdin near and lar,
Anil \vc'\c seen new faces,
r>ui what we tliink uf now
Is, will I will fill cinr places?
I niler the colors, bright and fair,
And jnst because we've cared,
We arc going to do our share,
liecause we're well prepared.
We have traveled side by side
Since our journey started.
We are going with the tide.
And soon we'll be departed.
But why should we look sad,
With records, bright and clean.
So let us cheer and be glad
For the class of nineteen-seventeen.
