At the close of the school year there comes an- other Index to aid in keeping bright the fading col- ors of the pictures of experience.
It is hoped that this volume will prove as stimu- lating through the lessons taught by weaknesses as it will through those features that may chance to be pleasing.
The work of preparing this yearbook has been for us an enjoyment. We trust that others may find herein that which kindles brighter the fires of Mem- ory, and which welds more strongly the bonds of
Friendship.

Across the green this day in sunny June
There glides a pageant train. Behold the spirits, All ye people good; for they will speak
The cause of their existence and will show To Memory's eyes some vision of the year
That should not be forgotten. In their words And in the scenes portrayed are tones and images
That tell the glory and the honor of Our Normal dear.

®ije Spirit of tfjE WLnibtmtp
I, the Spirit of Illinois State Normal University, have witnessed many cluing es through many years. The University was founded February 18, 1857. It was the first state normal school to he estab- lished in the Mississippi Valley and the ninth to be founded in the United States. The Main Building is the oldest state normal school building in use in the Nation; and though it may possess features no longer included in planning buildings for similar purposes, yet Old Main through those very features stands as a proud monument to those far-sighted Illinois pioneers who because of their wisdom and progressive spirit acted out at an early day their belief in the cause of common school education.
I have given inspiration to more than thirty-five hundred men and women who after graduation Jiave gone forth with a desire to aid others in gaining a fuller control of the values of life. Thousands of others, too, during somewhat limited periods of instruction have gained a broadened vision of the aims and a more complete mastery of the art of teaching.
Education is a psychical process. Its focal point is the reaction of mind upon mind. Its aim is to help one generation to know, to use, and to improve its social heritage from the generation preceding.
The glory of our Alma Mater is what many, many people have made it. They who come and later depart more fit as members of society have contributed to this glory; and still richer grows the con- tribution as the subsequent years find them ever rendering worthy service unto others. And many who no longer serve by their present labors have left behind an impress of standards and ideals that in the future years will still help form the soul of the University.
"They serve well their school who help to bring about a school improved; yet they serve best who aid in having a school that is not merely improved — but improving."

Mrs. David Felmley
Miss Maude Kettering Miss Nellie Thompson
Jflrs. Babib Jfelmlep
In Mrs. Felmley 's passing something of light and sweetness has gone from ns. A nature so genuine, so sincere, so strong, so endowed with fortitude, so intelligent, so sympathetic, so tender and so brave we do not often encounter. Having met it, having in our very natures been touched by its beneficent in- fluence, we carry it with us forever, a memory forever active for good. It shames our weakness, it reinforces our strength, it enlarges our faith in human nature and in the goodness of life.
Each one of us will carry his own treasure of personal memories of casual meetings that brightened the passing hour, of neighborly kindness and inter- course, of mirth, of the interchange of serious thought, of the comfort of an understanding silence and of words fitly spoken in times of bereavement, of the enduring and self-forgetful comradeship of years. And each one of us, from casual acquaintance to her nearest and dearest, will keep the thought of her as part of our secret hoard of things precious that we hold fast till the end
of life.

Miss Maude Kettering's life of service, kindly and willingly given, was inspirational. The last four years were spent as Matron of Fell Hall where she cared for the physical needs of the girls in a quiet, dignified way. She had a sympathetic understanding of life, a keen sense of right, and a charitable na- ture. Her untiring interest in all the activities of the school won for her true and steadfast friends among the students and faculty.
Miss Kettering's interest in boys and girls, for she understood both equally well, proved her to be a friend of youth, ever ready to suggest and point the way. Many will look back and realize her keen sense of right. Her best service to the University was given with true womanly courage.
Each girl who knew her will be finer and better for having lived with such a noble character. She taught well the lesson of thoughtfulness and kindliness. She left an ideal of womanhood toward which the girls will ever strive.
"The surest pledge of a deathless name is the silent homage of thoughts unspoken."
Jlellte Catherine tEfjompgcm
Miss Thompson's long and splendid service in Normal cannot be fully val- ued. Her esthetic temperament, her fine idealism, her devotion to duty, her innate understanding of, and love for children and of the agencies which stimu- late them, made her a teacher of rare ability. Ever modest and retiring in temperament, she was peculiarly suited to teach little children. Her influence as a teacher will continue to be far-reaching. The scores of young women whom she supervised will extend her idealism and skill to many classes of children and thus widen the circle of her influences.
Miss Thompson was interested in all of the activities of the school. For years she was the efficient chairman of the faculty committee on social func- tions, and was active on many other committees. She was effective as an in- stitute instructor and was the author of a primary reader.
She always did more than her share and did it cheerfully and well. She Avas devoted to her friends and to her work. By her death her profession has suffered a permanent loss, and her friendship will be a cherished memory to those who were privileged to share it.

iSormal Wt Remember
We care not what the future may hold of weal or woe,
When we leave our dear old Normal right hopefully we'll go,
Strengthened by our knowledge and the fact that we 've been true
To our dear old Alma Mater, our own I. S. N. U.
You'll find a son of Normal where ever you may go,
From the hot and garish tropics to the land of ice and snow.
Some are gone adventuring, some are there by chance
And some that you may look for lie in the soil of France.
The Red and White has gathered many laurels in the past,
And this shall be our duty now to make her glory last ;
Her ancient fame and honor shall never, never die,
And time will make her greater as the years go rolling by.
Normal we remember,
Normal we are true ;
Rah for dear old Normal,
Our own I. S. N. U. !

®fje i)ome=Coming
Landmarks, Milestones, Red Letter Days — eall them what you will — are the never-to-be-forgotten times and experiences in the lives of institutions as of individuals. Such a time and such an experience was I. S. N. U.'s First Home-Coming, which was celebrated on the fourth and fifth of November of this school year. The starting time was General Exercise Period on Friday, November 4th, when the early arrivals were introduced to the Home-Coming song, "Normal, We Remember," written by Bradford Stewart, '18, and set to music by Prof. Westhof f for the occasion ; it was all over by midnight of Satur- day, November 5th, — less than forty hours, all told, not allowing for sleep or study of which there was little or none — but how much excitement, joy, and real happiness were crowded into those few hours only those who were a part of it can know.
Groups of the Varsity Club members and some of the men of the faculty, assisted by our far-famed and invaluable musical organization, the Sympathy Septette, met the trains and escorted the visitors to the Home-Comers' Regis- tration Desk in the Main Office where they were presented with a souvenir book- let, a badge, and a bunch of wahoo berries, and given requested information about various topics of interest. By Saturday noon nearly seven hundred former students and graduates had registered. Those from farthest away came from San Mateo, Florida, and Bremerton, Washington, but the majority were nat- urally from nearby towns although all parts of the State were well represented. Many who could not attend wrote letters of sincere regret to President Felmley. One of these letters came from far-off India.
When the curtain rose on the Jester Play at 8 :15 on Friday evening the Auditorium was filled to capacity with Home-Comers and their friends, for every one was a friend of the Home-Comers. It was this friendly spirit which added to every thing unusual pleasure. The Auld Lang Syne Party after the Play was composed of a gay crowd busily engaged in recalling good times of former years. It was at this party that everybody found everybody and ex- pressed surprise and joy in the discovery.
Saturday began with breakfast, as most days do, but this breakfast was different because it was cooked and served by the Domestic Science Girls for the Home-Comers and their hosts. It consisted of waffles, coffee, bacon, eggs, et cetera ; it lasted four hours for the Domestic Science Girls, but the Home-Com- ers came, feasted, and hastened elsewhere, because — Miss Milner was greeting her many friends in the Library, the Nature Study Club was meeting, Class Reunions were going on all over the Main Building, and the Women's Athletic Association had set 12 o'clock as the hour when seventy-five of its present and past members should eat luncheon together in Bloomington. Both time and appetite had to be reserved and conserved for these other activities or each Home-Comer might have eaten breakfast all morning, and that would not have been fair because the Kindergarten Club was serving lunch on the Campus and all were welcome. Besides the already mentioned affairs, the business men of Normal had a large procession of automobiles waiting at 10 o'clock and many
18
of the older Home-Comers availed themselves of this opportunity to learn of the community's recent improvement and growth.
At 1 :30 on Saturday afternoon every body gathered for the Big Parade. The Faculty, the Student Body, the Home-Comers, Wa Hoo (the Fell Hall Dog) in gay apparel, the Sympathy Septette, the Normal Community and University High School Students, and the Soldiers' Orphans' Home Band all marched in dignified or undignified order from the south steps of the Main Building to the Athletic Field to see I. S. N. U. win a football game from Charleston Teachers' College — our Eastern Illinois Normal. The score was 43-3 in favor of I. S. N. XL, but the score made little difference. The big thing was the enthusiastic happi- ness of the crowd. Several new Cheer Songs were initiated during the after- noon, chief among them being "Cheer For Our Team" written by Mabel Eden Martin, '22. This song received the prize as the best cheer song submitted in a song contest. Other musical attempts were "Wa Hoo," "Rah! Rah! for Normal," and "Boom, Boom, de-ay." These songs and the old and new school yells kept the excitement of the crowd at high pitch and demonstrated to the Home-Comers I. S. N. U.'s loyalty.
At 7 o'clock Saturday evening Philadelphian and Wrightonian Halls were the scenes of old time enthusiasm. The special programs wThich had been care- fully prepared were much enjoyed and the speeches of the Home-Comer mem- bers of both societies added greatly to the success of the meetings. One feature of the Philadelphian meeting was the celebration attached to the consumption of the famous fruit cake which had been buried in the south end of the Campus for four years, but had been unearthed that morning with great formality.
By 8 P. M. two more parties were well under way ; one at Fell Hall where a reception preceded a dance ; the other at the gymnasium where dancing was the chief attraction. Before the evening was over many had attended both parties.
Next year will probably see another Home-Coming at I. S. N. U. It may be larger than this one in point of numbers, but most first experiences are best remembered; so this First Home-Coming will always remain a bright spot in the life of the Old School and in the hearts of those who participated in its many phases.

There are several peaks in the mountain range which I. S. N. U. students climb during each school year. One of these is called "Birthday Mountain" and, contrary to all the customs of mountain tops, roses bloom there on April 24th of every year. Knowing this peculiarity of Birthday Mountain, the whole student body, led by a committee of the senior class, makes the ascent each spring, always starting in time to arrive at the summit by 9 :40 on the morn- ing of the day the roses bloom.
The climbing to mountain peaks is not an easy task. It can be accomplished only through perseverance, absolute attention to the matter in hand, and reso- lute following of the guide who points the way. Birthday Mountain is no ex- ception. Its paths are not smoothly paved ; its steep ascents have no stone steps ; its turns are not like those of a race-track course. It seems almost to realize the true value of effort and the true appreciation which comes from a reward honestly earned. It seems to know the beauties it has to offer those who make the sacrifices and the efforts to scale its heights on April 24th in order to see its roses in bloom and to pay tribute to the inhabitant at the top, David Felmley.
This year several hundred students started in due time, followed the proper directions, and arrived at the top at the appointed hour. The roses bloomed, sixty-five of them this time ; each year the travelers see one more rose than bloomed the year before. But were the roses all they saw? Would it be worth the climb over the rocks of hard study, through the bramble of doubt and fail- ure-to-understand, and around the unknown turn only to have to climb again — if when the summit were reached there were only roses to see ? No ! that which makes it all worthwhile is the opportunity which this trip affords for the climbers to express to the man who lives on Birthday Mountain their appreciation of his never-failing efforts in their behalf, of his ever-present interest in their wel- fare, and of the inspiration to greater and larger accomplishments which his example gives them, and to receive in return an insight into his dreams of what "His Fellow-Dwellers of the Mountain Range" may become and do.
The Man of Birthday Mountain never fails his friends of the valley and the mountain-side — never fails to give them on that day in particular the op- portunity to see the panorama of possibilities which he can always see from the home on the Mountain Top. As the descent is made, and all through the suc- ceeding year, each and every one again renews his vow to "Carry On" by taking with him into his daily life and practice those things which he receives on April 24th — that splendid spirit, that will to do. that ideal of education, and that lofty idealism of the teacher's work.

QTfje Spirit of tfje ^eacfjer
/ am the same spirit that makes the smiling mother proucl of the first toddling steps of Iter little one and that deepens the maternal affection, the zeal of her inspiration, and the joy of her appreciation as the child passes step by step into tlie realities of a worthy manhood.
I seek to portray much of life quickly unto youth, that the span of his later years may be the more richly filled with worthy deeds of labor among his fellowmen. I take joy in handing on tlie worth-while possessions of one generation as a golden legacy to the next. I am the spirit that can help a people feel that that na- tion will accomplish most which knows most of the world.
I give my utmost. I seek to have those under my instruction attempt to achieve noble tilings. That I may help to elevate stand- ards of life is my hope. That beneficial results ever follow the discovery of truth is my faith. That I may implant truer ideals is my prayer. That I may see with the coming of the years my efforts guiding on toward a richer service to mankind — may this be the happiest reward that I can ever own.

3Tf)e spirit of tfje ^tubent
I, the Spirit of the Student, lead on to ways unknown. Sternly I may call at times to turn from idle musings with ephemeral things that will not please forever. I may point indeed toward footpaths rough with stones and walled by jagged crags.
I whisper liope when byways lead astray and fill with a e oar- age that prompts to the pursuit of pathways new. When dismal peaks of Failure cast about the weary traveler their fearful shadows that bewilder with their gloom, I point above the foothills where the lands lie waim and radiant under the beacon-lights of Achieve- ment and Truth — to those lands from whence come beams of guid- ance and inspiration.
I instill the student with a reverence and respect for those who help him in the solving of life's mysteries; with a just pride in a well-balanced and full development of his powers; with the feeling that whatever is worth being is worth knowing ; with the realization that the more one has of learning the more one has of life; and with a keen desire to understand the Past and the Pres- ent in order that the Future may be an improvement over all that shall have gone before. And long before the learner's journey is elided I seek to inspire with a zeal to strive for the fulfillment of social righteousness.
My days are never o'er. Verily I am eternal.

®f)e g>ut)=3funior Class;
The sub-juniors imitated their upper classmen this fall by effecting a class organization. That it was well for the class to be regularly organized is shown by the systematic manner in which several matters of business were handled.
The sub- juniors have been a real part of the school this year. Harvey Baltz was one of the best members of the famous Sympathy Septette that brought life into many student gatherings. Roberta Poos was the winner in oratory at the annual Wright-Phil contest. Cyrus Brown and August Joellenbeck were cred- ited not only with being able to kick higher and harder than the nimble soccer coach but also with having the ability to drag over the field the largest shoes among the squad. Two members of our class, Stanley Mahanna and Robert Byquist, were presidents of Philadelphian Society during the year and did much to increase the spirit of Agoing on."
Moreover, another event of importance was accomplished during the year : President Miller succeeded in coaxing a school-teacher to assume the title of Mrs.
Verily the sub- junior class has just cause for pride in the deeds of many of its members.

& Junior Jfatrp Cale
One day as Francis sat in the study Hall he felt a Strong Daring desire to go for a Larkin the Parks. He at once communicated his wish to Thomas, Mathew, Glenn and Henry. When the next Bell Blair-d forth the group did not Deem it Weiss to report in class so with a l-TJrch and a Wiggle, making no sound on iron Norwood, it hurried out.
Realizing that a long walk such as they had planned would make them very hungry they decided to Ceiry a lunch with them. To Robb the larders of sev- eral Holmes took but a few minutes. As a result of their Craven efforts, they procured a Kidney Bean, a Lemen, a Ryan of bacon, and some Rice.
At last every thing was ready and they started. The Hyndman turned to- wards Hudson. A Sharp reprimand raised his Eyer and made him mad enough to Swaar but, being Meeker than the rest, he followed without raising a Ran. O'er hill and Dale, they passed, through the Parrish where lived James McQuire. They also passed the Castle of the Britton and the homes of many Hicks. In the Lane they stopped to read every Barber and Taylor sign they saw, and also played a Little with the Champion Bauser of the Tanner. At the Mills they purchased a Sterling dollars Wirth of Keifer pears and Grimes golden apples. Here, too, they chanced to see the Jewell of the King, said to be Longworth Moore llnderbrink of cover than Kuehn buyers realized.
When the straggling bunch of boys arrived at their destination, trouble arose at once. One Yioim^-ster set up a Howell to see the Lyons, Fisher do some- thing. His companions frankly told him he had his Gaul with him and would certainly Goad them to distraction. Morever he had no Bates and therefore the best thing for him to do would be to Hack up the Barr, Light a fire, and Cook. They warned him to Fry the bacon well and to be sure to keep out of Harms way, or they would Shake him till he was Black in the face. Much frightened and with many Byrnes he succeeded in completing his task. The young gor- mands growled because they had not been served on White Haviland but man- aged to arrive at such a state of satiety that they one and all joined heartily in the moan of one poor boy who said, " (D)ohme! Lescli Hierman to Hull us home. ' '
54
A hese our actors, As I foretold yo\x, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air, And, like the baseless fabric of this
vision, The cloud-cappcl towers, the gorgeous
palaces, The solema temples, the great qlobe
ibelf/ J ^
Yea, all which it inherit, shall
dissolve, And, like this insubstantial paqeani
faded, r ^
Leave not a rach behind. We are
such stuff As dreams are mode on, and our
little life Is rounded with a sleep.

John Graham President
Ray Bechtold Vice-President
Zeta Merris Secretary
Meryl Hunter Treasurer
Under the able leadership of President John Graham, the Senior Class has completed a very successful year both in class room and in other school activi- ties. The President has been assisted by a strong corps of officers : Vice-Presi- dent, Ray Bechtold ; Secretary, Zeta Merris ; Treasurer, Meryl Hunter ; and many committee chairmen.
In manifesting a school spirit, in making the campus the center of school activities, both social and educational, it may be well said that the Senior Class of 1922 has cooperated for a better, finer University.
When the burden of the senior theme was lifted, every member of the class entered into the work of the school year with more zest and enthusiasm. Social events seemed gayer and more enjoyable.
A wiener roast in the fall, a dance in the winter and a party at Fell Hall in the spring, the senior social functions will be remembered by all as among the most pleasant events in the school calendar.
The Vidette and Index, publications of the school, have both been success- fully guided by seniors. The work on the school annual began early in the fall and some of the staff worked until the end of the term completing all details.
The selection of k k The Tragedy of Nan, ' ' by John Masefield, as a senior play was an ambitious undertaking, but the cast chosen proved equal to the standards
set.
The Class of 1922 is the largest senior class in the history of Old Normal. There are two hundred and seven graduates, one hundred and eighty-one re- ceiving diplomas and twenty-six receiving degrees.
'Gladly would we learn and gladly teach.

?Ef)e Mentor College Club
The Senior College Club is composed of students who have received at least twenty-four credits in the Teachers College or the equivalent, The Club has held various meetings throughout the year in Room 12 during the General Exercise period for, as President Felmley says, "It seems to be the only time this organization can find time to get together."
The organization has sponsored the organizing of an educational honorary fraternity and through its efforts a chapter of Kappa Delta Pi has been in- stalled.
A happy social function of the year was the dinner given at the Bloomington Country Club which was attended by about twenty members.
As the club received a place on the Stunt Show program it worked very hard to make its stunt worthy of the organization and of the school.
A reclassification of the student body was proposed in a petition by the Senior College Club asking for five groups instead of three : one class for those who are not high-school graduates and four classes to designate the rank of a student by his seniority. This petition was endorsed by the Student Council and later by the student body in a mass meeting. It is now ready for endorse- ment by the faculty.
If this classification carries, this year may be the last year of Senior Col- lege Club. Then, farewell good, old organization!

®f)e Spirit of ©realisations
/, the Spirit of Organizations, represent mutual interests striving in a systematic manner for the accomplishment of a desired end.
The progress of modern society is along the pathway formed by organizations. Within the group the thought of the one reacts upon the tli oughts of the many: the resultant judgment guides to a goal attained only through cooperative endeavor — a goal that may mean even a turning aside in the course of human history.
Both achievements and misfortunes are shared by man with the members of his group. The pride in the former is multiplied by mutual happiness and rejoicing; and the burden of the latter is lightened through the sympathy and relief extended by his fellowmen.
One finds in organizations a comradeship that makes irksome toil become agreeable labor; a desire to work with and for others — and not selfishly and alone; a chance for the functioning of inborn capa- bilities and talents that crave for expression; and an opportunity to aid in the furtherance of those ideals for the realization of which there is a willingness to endure personal sacrifices.
Illinois State Normal University is fortunate in having many or- ganizations which seek to enrich the life of the school by enhancing greater interest in the work of certain departments and by contribut- ing through socicd activities and enjoyments to those special elements of education that are generally found "neither writ in books nor carved in stone."

tKfje g>rubent Council
Under the very efficient leadership of Mrs. Stella A. Henderson, the Stu- dent Council has completed a very successful year. The general policy has been a progressive one, but it has been tempered with exceptional good sense and an inclination to avoid snap judgments. As a consequence the organiza- tion has gained greatly in the estimation of the faculty and of the student body. This is shown by the steadily increasing number of school problems brought to the attention of the Council for its consideration both by members of the faculty and by the students themselves.
Two mass meetings have been held for the purpose of bringing before the student body questions of more than ordinary importance. In both instances the members of the faculty were asked to withdraw from the meeting. These meetings were conducted in a dignified and orderly manner and were marked by the interest manifested and by the freedom of participation in the discussion of the questions under consideration.
The Date Book continues to be of very great importance and Miss Gibbs, the chairman of the committee, has had a very busy year. By her careful work, confusion and misunderstanding have been prevented.
The student programs arranged by the Council's committee have, in the main, been satisfactory and some of them have been exceptionally good, but the possibilities in this line are only beginning to be realized.
The greatest need of the Council is for more frequent meetings. The vol- ume of work has increased to the point where it is impossible to take care of it in meetings held every other week.

{Efje Mentor GTfjeme
The class of 1922 has the distinction of being the first class graduated from I. S. N. U. without the requirement of senior themes from its members. In years gone by, at the side of the picture of the graduate in the Index, were printed his name, address, a list of his extra-curricular activities, and the subject of his senior theme. This year 's Index lacks this last item. Those titles represented hours and hours of labor, — work undertaken in addition to the regulation amount of work carried in a term.
In the spring of 1921, the student council elected a committee to make a study of the "thesis problem". Members of the committee were: Lester Grimm (chairman), Maurine Bone, and Mildred Shope. Investigation yielded proof that the requirement of the theme was unjust and that it caused a burden which interfered with the best performances of the regular studies. It was found that the average student was spending more time on his theme than on a major subject ; that themes were not required for graduation from the two-year cur- ricula in any other normal school of Illinois, and for the bachelor's degree, in only one other normal school ; and that these were required in few colleges or universities. The committee worked faithfully and carefully all summer and through most of the fall term, collecting and weighing evidence and working out in detail further plans of procedure.
The matter was finally placed before the student body, which voted unani- mously to present to the faculty a petition asking that the theme be abolished. This was done. The faculty received the petition and its supporting evidence with careful consideration, and referred it to the faculty committee on the course of study. This committee finally decided that, subject to the approval of the Normal School Board, the requirement of a theme for graduation from a two-year curriculum should be dropped, and that although the requirement should be kept for the degree, a major credit should be given for it. This pro- vision removes the injustice done the student, for he now has time to devote to his theme without neglecting his other work.
The Normal School Board confirmed the action of the faculty in the matter,
and behold ! — the senior theme as it had been, was no more. Verily, the world
moves on.

Since 1916 the Faculty Women's Club has had a place among the various organizations of I. S. N. U. Its membership comprises the women of the faculty and the wives of the men of the faculty. Its three business meetings during the year afford an opportunity for its members not only to plan for social afternoons for the students, but also to become better acquainted with each other.
In view of the evergrowing number of events on our school calendar the Faculty Women's Club entertained the students only twice this year. These social afternoons were well attended and were most enjoyable occasions where a chance was given to meet the people one knew and the people one ought to know. Each time a program of music and readings was presented during the afternoon.
Following its usual custom, the Faculty Women's Club cooperated with the student committee to provide the program of the social conferences for the women of the school. The student committee consisted of Marjoric Atkin, Norma Hofferbert, and Mildred Shope, and the following program was arranged :
Wednesday, December 14 — General Exercises
Social Hygiene Problems Miss Blake
Wednesday, January 11 — General Exercises
Mrs. Grundy Visits the Normal School Miss Whitten
Wednesday, January 25 — General Exercises
What a Girl Should Read Miss Scott
Thursday, February 16— Fell Hall, 4:30
Mothers and Daughters Mrs. Manchester
This year the club decided that faculty folk needed to turn frivolous occa- sionally, and so the masquerade party given for the faculty on April 6 was planned with that particular purpose in mind. On Founder's Day the Men's Auxiliary of the Faculty Women's Club entertained in a most delightful fashion with a dinner at Fell Hall.

Kappa Delta Pi is an international honorary educational fraternity which originated at the University of Illinois. The Illinois Education Club was founded at the University of Illinois in 1909, and in 1911 it was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois by the name Kappa Delta Pi. Out of this local society founded by a group of students interested in the promotion of edu- cation and social service has grown the international organization of Kappa Delta Pi.
Several years ago a group of Senior College students with the help of Pro- fessor J. L. Pricer attempted to secure a chapter of Kappa Delta Pi at Normal ; but being unable to do this until the school was given a higher rating by the University of Illinois, they turned their efforts in that direction. In 1920 a committee of the faculty succeeded in securing for the school a "B" rating. Again the work of securing the fraternity chapter was taken up by the Senior College Club, under the leadership of Helen Shuman and Lela Gipson, with Professor Schroeder as faculty advisor.
During the school year 1920-21 the Grand Council of Kappa Delta Pi was petitioned for a chapter at Normal. The petition was signed by twelve stu- dents : Lewis Bowyer, Clara Bullock, Regina Connell, Mabel Crompton, Zoe Garlough, Lela Gipson, Edna Killough, Gilbert Nelson, Esther Runeberg, Helen Shuman, Henry LTnderbrink, and Florence Wynd. The chapter was granted and these twelve became the charter members. Before the chapter was installed the charter members met and elected others who met the requirements for membership.
The chapter, now known as Mu Chapter, was installed on March 4, 1922, by Dr. W. W. Phelan of the University of Oklahoma, Vice-President of the Grand Council of Kappa Delta Pi. Dr. Phelan also conducted the initiation of seven charter members and the newly elected faculty and student members.
The chapter of Kappa Delta Pi is yet young in our school, but its presence here will mean much to the school, and especially to the Senior College.

The Hopkins Agriculture Club has been organized by the men of the agri- culture department of the University to promote interest in their department.
In choosing a name for the organization the men selected that of Dr. Cyril G. Hopkins who made his life's work the outlining of a permanent system of agriculture for Illinois.
The Club has as its work the discussion of the "Illinois System of Permanent Soil Fertility," as outlined by Dr. Hopkins, and the discussion of matters per- taining to community welfare.
The Hopkins Agriculture Club is one of the new organizations in the school, having been organized in the spring term with thirty-four charter members. The membership is composed of the agriculture students of the University, and junior and senior agriculture students of University High School. Excellent programs, which were much enjoyed by the members, were given monthly.

The Latin Club grows. It is three years old and has had an increase in membership each year, resulting in its firm establishment as an organization. For this, much credit is due Miss Maxey, whose ever-ready assistance has been of much value.
The Latin Club promotes interest in the study of Latin and provides fellow- ship for those interested in the classical studies. Talks have been made on Latin topics, and lantern slides have been shown. The Latin songs and games, and the letter-writing in Latin have added a decided interest to the meetings. The meeting at which Miss Porterfield gave a talk on "Some Phases of Dress and Customs of the Romans, ' ' was one of the best of the year. The Club is looking forward to increased interest and activity next year.

The Hieronymus Collegiate Chapter of the American Life Association was founded April 11, 1922, with thirty-eight charter members.
Its purpose is to discuss such problems of community life as the students of I. S. N. U. will meet when they are teaching.
Since the chapter is affiliated with the national organization and is brought by it into contact with similar organizations in other educational institutions, an opportunity is offered to its members for becoming acquainted with com- munity activities throughout the United States.
The membership is limited to forty students who have been approved by the executive council, and who must have completed at least twelve credits of college grade.

Within one year the Art Club has grown from a membership of twenty-one to a membership of forty. During the Fall Term art topics which were not taught in the regular course were discussed. At the Winter Term meetings the members were busy making caps, flowers and other souvenirs for the Frolic which was given with great success on February 17. A series of outdoor meet- ings was held in the Spring Term during which the members made articles of reed and did other craft work.

Vav&itp Club J^oteS
The year 1921-22 has been a most profitable one for the Varsity Club. With the large increase in the enrolment of men in the University the Club roll has been strengthened in proportion. More than one hundred men have been given membership during the year.
At the opening of the first summer term last year a committee of Varsity Club men assisted in registering the large number of new students. They had charge of the information bureau, and the work of locating men's rooms. A series of matinee dances was fostered during the summer, as well as during the regular school year.
In the fall term a snappy men's get-together meeting was held in the gymnasium, at which meeting the purpose of the Club was explained. Invita- tions soliciting membership were sent to the new men of the school. The initia- tion followed within a few weeks. About sixty men joined the Club at this time.
In true Varsity Club spirit the men of the football team, the basketball team, and the oratorical teams were entertained at banquets. The baseball and track men were honored at the end of the spring term.
Because of the intimate relation of the coach and the men of the school, H. Harrison Russell was voted an honorary member during the fall term. Prof. Ralph Linkins is the only other honorary member of the Club.
The annual Varsity Club winter dance was held at Fell Hall, January 21. It was one of the best dances of the year. During the spring term an elaborate dinner dance was held at the Maplewood Country Club. This affair was un- doubtedly one of the most successful of the year.
The winter term was one of real achievement. The constitutional commit- tee, appointed during the fall term, reported a revised document, which was unanimously accepted. The new constitution has striking clauses relative to membership which the old one did not possess.
The spring term initiation brought over twenty iicav members into the club. A renewed interest has been manifest in the work of the Varsity Club this term, and real progress has been the result.
The Annual Stunt Show was held in the I. S. N. U. auditorium May 12. This year only organization stunts competed for the cup. The faculty gave an extra feature stunt.
Two joint parties were held with the residents of Fell Hall during the year. These parties were quite successful, dancing and card playing being the enter- tainment on both occasions.
The matter of club rooms has been one of discussion throughout the year. Although no definite action has been taken, a move has been made in the right direction, and club rooms should be the goal for next year. Nothing but glory to the name of the Club has been added by the men of '22, and they can feel that they are turning over the name of a bigger and a stronger Varsity Club to the men of next year. Progress, ever onward, and upward, is the march of the Club.

Cfje Jfootball panguet
The annual football banquet was held at the Woman's Exchange in Blooin- ington on the second day of December. About one hundred men were present. Interesting toasts and a masterly address by the Reverend H. H. Burch were given. The official "N's" were awarded to seventeen of the football players and to two of the leaders in cheers.
An unusual feature of the evening was the appearance of "The Scoreboard," volume one, number one. The second number of this paper was delivered at the Founder's Day Banquet on the ninth of March. From these two issues we quote the following from the section entitled ' ' The Campus Scout ' ' :
Mitchell : "A fellow told me I looked like you. ' ' Sterling : ' ' Where is he ? I '11 smash his face ! ' ' Mitchell: "I killed him."
Verna (To Taubie in football clothes) : "Were you ever penalized for holding ?"
Taubie: "Er-er, — yes; I had my face slapped once."
Doc: "We all gain by experience. Now, Bechtold, what is the biggest mis- take you have ever made?"
Bechtold : ' ' Entering this course. ' '
Dad : ' ' Are you first in everything this term, Lawrence ? ' '
Barber: "Yes, father, I'm always first out of the building after the bell
rings.
Doty: "I ought to call on my English teacher."
Baltz: "How come?"
Doty: "Well, didn't she call on me twice last week?"
Ziebold: "Here we are with two tires punctured — and no jack." His latest: "Haven't you got your check book?"

PHILADELPHIAN PRESIDENTS

$f)tlabelpljia
The audience that greeted the officers of Philadelphia at its first meeting of the Fall Term was a good indication that "Normalcy" was near. Through- out the term, enthusiasm and interest were dominant characteristics of the spirit that prevailed. Symbolic of the revival of Philadelphia from war's de- pression was the unearthing by former members, on Saturday morning of the Home Coming celebration, of a fruit cake which they had secretly buried four years before. After the rendition of the regular program of the evening, the cake was cut in the presence of new and old Philadelphians, among whom were sixteen former presidents.
The Spirit of Philadelphia manifested itself in the annual literary contest December 17, 1921, in a glorious victory, winning all numbers but the reading. No little credit is due Mr. Grimm, president during the Fall Term, and to Mr. Byquist, president during the Winter Term, for this victory.
To Mr. Mahanna is due the credit for guiding Philadelphia clear of the attacks of "spring fever" and closing the year as successfully as it opened.
Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Phil - a - del - phia ! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Phil - a - del - phia ! "Going on."

WRIGHTONIAN PRESIDENTS

l^rigfjtoma
"Hail, social life! into thy pleasing bounds Again I come to pay the common stock,
My share of service, and in glad return
To taste thy comforts, thy protected, joys."
Such was the spirit in which Wrightonians worked — such was the spirit which helped make the passing year a successful and pleasant one.
The programs this year were of an unusually high literary type. Much praise for this must be given to the efficient and untiring efforts of our three presidents, Eunice Matter, Harley Milsted, and Earl Fox. One-act plays, which were produced in the rhetorical sections doing dramatic work, added entertain- ing variety.
Our deepest gratitude goes to our contestants who helped make the annual Phil- Wright literary contest the most spirited in years. We were somewhat disappointed when the decision went the way of the Phils. However, doesn't it take an occasional defeat to make us all the more enjoy the fruits of our future victories?
The intrepid spirit of the Purple and Gold remains. We are looking for- ward to victory next year and preparations to that end have already begun. During the winter term an inter-society debating tournament was organized. The series of debates, which were carried over into the spring term, unearthed much valuable material for our next year's verbal battle with our rivals.
Wrightonia is fostering a plan to form a literary league between a number of the small colleges and normal schools of the state. The purpose of the league is to promote the literary life of the different schools by means of inter-school literary contests.

(Oratorical poarb
The purpose of the Oratorical Board is threefold. It helps in organizing and directing all oratorical contests held within the State Inter-Normal Ora- torical League and the Inter-State League ; it cooperates with the faculty in finding persons interested in public speaking and preparing them to be future contestants ; and it creates an interest and spirit in public speaking among the students of I. S. N. U.
The Board consists of five members, two permanent members of the faculty and three student members. The student members are elected by the student body each spring for the following year. The members of the board this year are Grace Freitag (chairman), Miss Mildred McConnell, Mr. Fred Sorrenson, Otto Litwiller and 0. C. Taubeneck.
The board has done very successful wTork during the past year. Their ef- forts and influence were felt throughout the school, for they were ever en- couraging those interested in public speaking and oratory and promoting spirit in the student body. The victory at Macomb was due in a large part to the efforts of the board. Miss McConnell and Mr. Sorrenson gave hours of time in helping the contestants in their preparation. Miss Freitag accompanied the contestants to Macomb where she ably presided over the contest. Messrs. Litwiller and Taubeneck worked silently but accomplished much good. There was excel- lent cooperation among the members of the board, and we may rightfully say that they have been rewarded by the splendid victory of the contestants.

The Inter-State Contest will be held this year at I. S. N. U. on the fifth day of May. Representatives of schools in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin will come to compete in oratory and extempore speaking.
Claude Griffiths and Glen 0. DeAtley — both winners in the Inter-Normal Contest — will carry into the forensic fray the standards of Old Normal. Know- ing the abilities of Mr. Griffiths and Mr. DeAtley, the faculty and students feel that the showing of the Alma Mater will indeed be a very creditable one, and that only competitors of unusual talent can hope to vie with our boys in attempt- ing to secure the honors.
We are with you, "Major." We are with you, Glen Oral !

7, the Spirit of Publications, am a medium through which mind reacts upon mind. I portray ideas and ideals — and what is more powerful than these f
In the great busy world I register alike the hours that teem with social gaiety and merry comradeship and those that are laden with deeds of dreary toil.
I am the post-graduate school of the masses. I speak traditions. I record the history of deeds, of words, and of hopes. I enable the thoughts of the one to become the possession of many: I am leading men toward a universal brotherhood in sympathy and soul.
In the Illinois State Normal University there are various organs through which my works are wrought and through which effort is made to present truthfully the activities of the school. The Vidette gives weekly news of interest to the student body, the faculty, and the alumni. The Index endeavors to record the achievements, the hopes, and the memories of the year. The Alumni Quarterly aids alumni in knowing of the progress of their Alma Mater, in keeping alive the friendships formed in bygone days, and in receiving and in giving inspiration to the advancement of their professions. The Normal School Quarterly renders great service in carrying out the aims and purposes of the school — in its announcements of sessions and of courses offered, and in pre- senting to the normal students and to teachers of Illinois articles pro- duced by the best thought of members of the faculty.

The year 1921-22 has been one of remarkable activity for the Vidette. With the opening of school, in September, the paper came out in an entirely new form. In appearance it had the semblance of a newspaper. In style it was typically collegiate. The editor announced his policy as "A bigger and better I. S. N. U. — clean athletics — a men's club house — student manage- ment — a successful Homecoming. ' ' Most of these things have either come to pass, or have bright prospects for the future.
Early in the year a meeting was held at the home of the editor for the purpose of organizing the staff. It resulted in the formation of a new club, "The Vidette Press Club," which has been a large factor in determining the success of the paper throughout the year. During the fall term the club heard several interesting newspaper people, the city editor and the society editor of the Bloomington Bulletin, and Rev. William B. Hindman. Meet- ings were not conducted during the winter term, because of the heavy work the members were carrying in school. One of the prettiest events of the year was the Press Club dance, given April 1. During the spring term several lively meetings were held, as well as parties and picnics.
A special number of the Vidette, containing twelve pages, was issued during Homecoming week. Another special number was issued during the Y. W. C. A. recognition week. Both of these numbers were enthusiastically received by the students and alumni of the school.
Two features of the Vidette during the year have been a well organized and up-to-date society page, and a sport page. These pages have been well edited, and have received the hearty approval of the student body. Miss Peg- Kidney has served in the office of society editor, and Hugh Garnett has had charge of the sport page, assisted by Karl .Schroeder of University High School. The High School page added during the winter term has been made very interesting, through the efforts of the high school editor, William Kelly.
On the reportorial staff Marian Strong, Helen Jobst, Louise Parrish, Edward Radley, and Alan Milliken have been of material assistance. The paper has been produced under the editorial guidance of Glenn Oral DeAtley, aided and abetted by Lawrence Barber, as assistant. In the business depart- ment Lawrence Crawford has served very efficiently as manager. He has been assisted by Alan Milliken, Willis En singer, and the Misses Alice and Geneva Eldridge.
Throughout the year the Vidette has maintained a large exchange list with other colleges. The editor has cooperated with other college editors, exchanging ideas as well as papers, and this has been of great advantage to the general makeup of the paper. An inter-state press association was at- tempted, only to be given up because of lack of time of the editor. Many other editors were heartily in favor of the plan.
As the year draws to a close, the editor and the staff of the Vidette feel as if they have accomplished a great deal. They have endeavored to make the Vidette a real students' paper. Their success is measured in the history of the year's events.

The January and July numbers of the Normal School Quarteaii^ were devoted, as usual, to the Summer School Announcement and next year's Calendar. The October issue, "Physical Education and The Interests of Children," contains not only a theoretical discussion but a practical grade- school program. It was prepared by Miss Lydia Clark and Miss Ruth B. Glassow. The April Quarterly takes the form of the regular five-year issue of the Alumni Register, including graduates since 1892.
tKfje Alumni $3s#ouatton
The Alumni Association of I. S. N. IT. is unique because so many alumni are always members of the student body. The peculiar organization of the normal school, which offers a diploma on the completion of two-year, three- year, and four-year courses, makes it possible to become an alumnus in two yeai's, and then immediately, or after intervening years, to return and be an active student working for more knowledge, more credit, another "sheepskin" and at the same time be a member of the Alumni Association. There are great advantages in this arrangement and I. S. N. U. alumni are just begin- ning to recognize them, as each year brings back more and more of those who left it a few or many years before as graduates.
The regular publication of the Alumni Association is the Alumni Quarterly. For the past year or two it has had quite a struggle for existence, but with the February issue it started off again with vim and energy and the May number duly followed. It is to be hoped that this medium of com- munication may continue to be the "Gossip" it is intended to be, carrying news of Alumni to Alumni, and at the same time serving as a connecting link between Alumni and Student Body, Alumni and Faculty, Alumni and The Needs and Opportunities of I. S. N. U. It is hoped that its value will steadily increase.
To the unique sort of Alumni Association described above and to the par- ticipation in making the Alumni Quarterly of real service to graduates of I. S. N. U. the present members most happily welcome the new members of the class of 1922. May you, 100% strong, now join the active ranks in the association and work hand in hand with the officers to make "Our Normal" the sort of school its founders, its faculty, its patrons, and we, its students and alumni, have always. dreamed it might be; for great as it is and splendid as its accomplishments have been, there is always a desire and a possibility to go on to ever and ever higher heights.
However, as each succeeding class adds its quota to the working, think- ing ranks of the teachers of Illinois, and as each graduate looks back over the helpful, happy days at I. S. N. U. and, realizing their worth, contributes his bit to the association in memory of those days, our alumni organization will become second to none in strength and force for good in everything which pertains to the growth, development, and welfare of our Alma Mater.
We greet you, Fellow Alumni. May this number of our Index carry with it the hearty good-feeling and kindly spirit of our school, and may you, as you come across this alumni page, pause a moment and consider your part in this, The Alumni Association of I. S. N. U.

Gtfje Spirit of Literature
/, the Spirit of Literature, am the expression of the hopes, the joys, the loves, the fears, the gi*iefs, and the hates of humanity.
What man dreams, thinks, feels, or acts is that of which 1 am made. His dreams and fancies envelop me in a veil of many colors, which lends me grace. Through this his thoughts bloom forth into flowers of gold that tarnish not with age, and his emotions fill me with a glowing flame which burns ever the same through the ages. What man does is written on my soul — sometimes with pain, sometimes with joy — but never to be erased.
My soul is large and pure. I am ever true to my maker, for I portray his life story as he weaves it. If he falls to the weak, common, and unlovely, I also fall. If he rises to the strong, beautiful and lovely, I rise with him.
Truly, I am Life.

Sing clearly, Muse, or evermore he still, Sing truer or no longer sing! Coyne, sing its praises with a hearty will, — That friend of man, the swing.
It is not known when or where the porch swing first originated, bnt certain it is that it has proved itself, time and again, the friend of man. Probably our arboreal ancestors originally invented this common, everyday necessity when, exhausted from the strenuousness of the day's climbing, they betook themselves, in the absence of front porches, to the swinging curve of the grape-vine which hung near the door of their bower, and listened to the tree-frog's and the katy- dids, or watched the circling bat, as they abandoned themselves to the rhythmic swinging to and fro of the vine. However, it is enough that we should, in the space allotted to us, concern ourselves not with the origin but chiefly with a discussion of the merits, or opportunities of the porch swing.
From the standpoint of the physicist, the porch swing is a simple machine composed of a few boards and bolts and suspended by a chain, having but two speeds — one forward and one reverse, and operating upon that mechanical prin- ciple known as the Law of the Pendulum.
From the standpoint of the chemist, the porch swing is a catalytic agent, aiding or making possible certain reactions while remaining unchanged itself in the process.
From the social standpoint, the porch swing is an institution which society uses in forming new friendships and in making old friendships wax stronger.
Throughout the ages of history the porch swing has played a leading part. Probably King Solomon and Queen of Sheba sat in a porch swing as they watched the bees scorning the artificial flowers. Why should Leander have swum the Hellespont if there had not been a porch swing waiting on the other side? More than likely Romeo and Juliet sat on a porch swing and watched the moon come up from behind the woodlands. Even Mark Anthony and the immortal Caesar fought over the privilege of sitting in Cleopatra's porch swing while an empire, destitute of a guiding hand, grounded upon the rocks of adversity and intrigue.
People in all lands and nations have sat in porch swings, actuated by vary- ing motives. The aged mother and father have sat in the swing and dreamed of the days in life's morning march. The busy merchant has sat in the swing and reflected on the market quotations. The giddy school-girl has sat in the swing and — swung.
Perhaps, kind readers, you will not agree with all I have said. Very well, I have no intention to convince you against your will ; but let me ask you a question. Did you ever sit in a porch swing and allow yourself to be lulled to rest and peaceful reflections by its steady, rhythmical swing? There is poetry in motion. Did you not sense it ? Then there is the moonlight and the whip- poor-will and the far-away bark of a dog and an endless train of reflections drifting, perhaps, to church-bells and orange — . But wait ! Are you a teacher, and are you earning twelve hundred a year? Then beware of the porch swing, for have we not been forewarned against all entangling alliances?
— Ronald B. Lowdermilk.

He dwelt among the students here Around our campus trod ; By some considered very queer By others just a clod.
A knight as in the clays of old So chivalrous and true, Fair as a star but ever bold To me, most loving too.
He lived unknown, and few could know What Wa-hoo meant to me While at Fell Hall I lived, and, oh The difference to me.
M. E. C.
Did you ever play hockey? Well, I advise you to go out on the field for a game or two at least, before you get too old to enjoy a real sport. I'll never for- get one game in which I seemed to be the whole team, unworthy as I am of the honor.
The game began. An airy, whiffing sound, then a crushing crack and my left knee gave way bending the wrong way. The pain began at my knee-cap and shot in all directions at a terrific rate. I had the biggest desire in the world to sit right down and cry. But the ground was wet ; anyway the game depended upon my expended energy; so I softly whispered to my self, "Get thee behind me, Satan, ' ' and dashed forward. I felt dreadfully crowded and oppressed. The opposing team had surrounded me and there was nothing for me to do but get out and take the ball with me. I tried to knock the ball out of the mess of intertwining legs and sticks. With all my might I struck that ball ! Before I had shut my eyes for one blink someone had knocked it back in the center where I was hopelessly closed in. Again and again and again it came back. My strength failed me rapidly ; with every breath I drew, a sharp pain shot across my chest from east to west. Between the clatter of sticks I could hear the clickity clack of the sticks upon my shins. Somehow it reminded me of popping corn on a winter afternoon. I had no sense of touch below my neck except in one toe. That toe had been an invalid for five years. Between every whack I was con- scious of a sensory message beseeching first aid from head-quarters. The re- sponse was poor, my body numb and my toe tingled on. Finally I gathered all my hopes and aspirations both past and future and with them I took the blow of the present. "Sticks," shouted someone in the rear. The ball went bouncing and rolling toward the goal. The players drew away and someone called, in an early morning tone, "Mary Ellen."
I rolled over and found to my sorrow that one of my curlers had come off and had rolled under my knee. But as I climbed out of bed I thought, "Oh, if that were only the Wright-Phil Game!"
— Mary Ellen Callahan.

Distant fields still show enchantment,
And ever will as in days of yore; The rainbow's lure still calls and beckons
But oft leads to a rock strewn shore.
My vision led me to Normal. I had long planned on going to college and the consummation of my hopes fairly threw me into a fever of excitement. My great ambition was to be the very best pupil possible and to fit into college life as perfectly as a round peg fits into a round hole. While everything was new to me, my enthusiasm increased from hour to hour during those first days of registration, seeking a lodging, and settling down into the routine of study from which I anticipated so much benefit in the years to come.
My first impression was that the rose had no thorns. Everything was lovely, — the buildings, the classrooms, the studies, my classmates, and lastly the instructors. Such was my first impression and, at this writing, is again my impression. I say "again" for there was a period of doubt involving one of the faculty members whose story — as is the case with many a truth, — is stranger than fiction.
It is hardly fair to mention names when speaking of people whose sanity you have doubted, but with whom you are again in perfect understanding and friendship, so I shall not say whether this teacher is a man or woman and, as will necessarily follow, no names will be mentioned.
Imagine, if you can, an instructor who one day says :
"Miss Blank, I wish all the members of the class showed such fine enthusiasm in their studies as you do. You have but to keep it up and your future will be a decided success. ' ' And the next : ' ' That was a terrible mistake, Miss Blank. I am not sure whether you are fitted for this work or not." And the next day to be received with smiles and on the one following with frowns and verbal rebuffs.
The alternation was perfect. After the first week of astonishment and grief I knew what to expect — just fifty per cent glums and fifty per cent pleas- antness— do what I might or come what would. I was not alone in this experi- ence. My classmates often marveled openly at the "versatil" nature of the instructor, but none noticed the regular method in the madness and I did not tell them until I had a graph of conduct extending over a considerable period of time. The chart showed that the instructor had absolutely no favorites in the class. Everybody was treated absolutely the same and for some mysterious reason the two sides of our instructor's nature were accurately balanced each day and hour.
Why should this be? Apparently there was no answer, for none of us was so bold as to approach the instructor with the query. For some time we considered it merely as a queer case of near-insanity that was rather discourag- ing to beginners, but easily tolerated as soon as one became accustomed to the
138
malady. However, after one especially bad session, the student council ap- pointed a committee consisting of the wise ones of the class to investigate the situation and endeavor to ascertain the contributing factors, and soon a won- derful light was shed upon the situation. Some of the scientists about the school are still scoffing at us, but we have Harvey Peterson and some of the other psychologists won over to a belief in our veracity. I shall tell you the story straight and if you still doubt it we stand ready at any time to show you the Ouija board.
We met at Fell Hall that evening and had no more luck with the problem than did Wilson with the League of Nations, until one of the girls asked the Ouija board what ailed the instructor and then the answer came.
Said the Ouija board: "The instructor is merely trying to lead a balanced life in order to continue to inhabit this terrestrial globe. This personage started out as do most young teachers, very earnest and conscientious, full of enthusiasm and ambition but, as sometimes happens, the gall and wormwood of life bit deeply into the soul and the plane of action fell year by year and finally there came a time when the Great Father called for the account. One dark stormy night the instructor's soul departed from its earthly clay, wended its way above, and stood in the judgment chamber. Now, as luck would have it, the docket -was clear and at the speedy trial which followed, a condition without precedent in the entire history of heaven was revealed — that of an applicant whose good and evil exactly balanced. It was not a Mohammedan heaven with a sliding scale, and neither Saint Peter nor Satan would shake for this particular soul, so back to earth it was sent to remain till its record became unbalanced one way or the other at which time it was to be called home." What a task!
It looks over Jordan and what does it see —
Coming for to carry it home f Angels or devils, whichever it be — . Coming for to carry it liome
whenever it teeters.

GTfje Spirit of tfje Brama
Man in action is what I, the Spirit of tlie Drama, represent.
Human nature is ever battling with destiny. Doubt, dis- belief, and desire for a new adjustment in the social complex all lead to conflict witJi shackling customs; problems of life de- mand solution; ethical and social forces seem to lose tempo- rarily their restraint ; institutions appear to be toppling to de- struction: activity (done brings adjustment.
In dramatic art the most fundamental philosophies are seen in reverence; and the foibles of humanity lie exposed to scorn.
In my dominion titer e flow the tossing waves of emotion and there roll the waters of tlie mightier mood. He who enters therein must gain control of his physical powers, he must achieve command of his mental forces, he must make his innermost feel- ings become the possessions of others, and he must learn tlie responsibility of cooperative creation.
Drama is the conscious use of personality : it is body, mind, and soul in action.

Before the play ' ' $1200 a Year ' ' was produced, the Jesters initiated a num- ber of new members. The old custom of regular meetings was re-established this year, and the Jesters had a number of helpful lectures by persons interested in dramatics. There were also some social good times, but the things that the Jesters will value most at the end of the year will be —
JUST MEMORIES
Initiations
' ' Don 't get excited, folks ; this car stops at the station store. ' ' "Honest, George, I thought it was Mable. " "How much farther do we go? I'm soaked to the bone now." "Now, take a bite of the sweet essence of the Jesters."
Regular Meetings
Jester : — ' ' I move we notify them they are in arrears. ' '
Secretary: — "Madam President, how shall I write that motion?"
Question! Question!" ? ? ?
"What is a quorum?"
Tauby: — "A majority."
"What's a majority?"
Bing! Bang! (Goodbye, Eugene).

"Ziebold, where were you last night? All right, get out your quarter, please — more money towards the curtain."
'You people behind the scenes, put your playthings away, and come down here and be quiet ! ' '
'If we use that side of the scenery it'll ruin the whole thing." "My goodness, Ziebold, you'd make a better burglar than lover!" "It's too short! You've got to lengthen it."

"Her Husband's Wife"
' ' Her Husband 's Wife, ' ' one of the best American plays, was presented by the Junior Class on Friday, April 14, 1922.
Mrs. Randolph, a hypochondriac, believing she will die soon, picks out the woman whom she wishes her husband to marry after her death. The chosen woman is Miss Ladew, a former sweetheart of Richard, Mrs. Randolph's brother. This fact, however, was unknown to Mrs. Randolph. Uncle John Belden, the genial old uncle from the West, discovers the affliction of his niece and secretly prescribes the only remedy, which is trouble. Trouble is instigated, which is almost impossible to stop, much to the surprise of the unsuspecting husband, who cannot comprehend the situation. Miss Ladew turns out to be more attractive than she seemed at first and Mrs. Randolph becomes furiously jealous. Her malady is cured. Complications are happily cleared away when Richard and Miss Ladew renew their engagement. Nora is a friend and servant of the family.
The scene of the play is laid in the drawing-room of the Randolphs in Saratoga, New York, during the racing season at the Spa. The play is a whimsical comedy, with unforced humor and kindly feeling.
"The Tragedy op Nan"
John Masefield's play "The Tragedy of Nan" was presented by the Senior class Wednesday, June 7, 1922.
The first scene opens in the kitchen of Mr. William Pargetter 's tenant house at Broad Oak on Severn in 1810. His wife, possessed of a brutal, domineering spirit, rules the household. With the Pargetters live their only daughter Jennie and a niece, Nan Hardwick, silent and unhappy. When Jennie returns from service she finds Dick Gurvil in love with the fair, modest Nan. Mrs. Pargetter fiendishly informs Dick, who has just become betrothed to Nan, that Nan's father was hanged for killing a sheep. Dick allows Mrs. Pargetter to persuade him to become betrothed to Jennie instead. By the third act Nan's happiness has turned to gall. In the midst of a scene of revelry the Rev. Mr. Drew and Cap- tain Dixon enter. It has been proved that Nan's father was unjustly hanged and now the law offers her gold as a recompense. The penitent Dick endeavors to beg forgiveness of Nan now that she has more money than Jennie, but her faith is shattered. In desperation she stabs Dick and rushes down to the sea. The tide sweeps in. The morrow finds a strange fish in the nets.

®be Spirit of illusic
I, the Spirit of Music, can help to soothe or thrill every mood and every passion that human kind can experience.
Soft pleasing strains may bring peace and contentment and make the hours of rest more quiet and more deep. And martial tones hurled outward by the trumpet's blare may charge the surging ranks to mad- ness in their crave for gore and battle.
Music finds her rhythm in the heart-throbs; in the recurring cycle of life wherein youth succeeds age and later passes on as age itself ; in the dimming and glowing of the stars; and in the quatrain of the seasons: rhythm, marks the universe.
Her harmony and melody she gathers on every hand — among the sedges and the pines; from the echoing caverns and the thunder- haunted crags; from the rushing air above and the restless waters be- neath; and wherever human life can minister to its needs.
From that primeval day when the twang of the first bowstring brought pleasing sounds to savage ears, man has made instruments of music. And from the time when emotions and sentiments began to stir the human soul and thus make life more rich, he has endeavored to voice in musical tones both his joy and his hope, as well as his grief and sorrow.
"The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved by concord of sweet sounds Is fit for treason, stratagem, and spoils — Let no such man be trusted."

Among the happiest and most profitable hours in the school life of the girls who were so fortunate as to belong to the Girls' Glee Club, were those spent in "Old 33". Regularly, twice a week, they met there and "lifted their voices in song."
To belong to this organization is in itself an education. No time is wasted on inferior music, for all the selections studied are of the highest type, and are well worth the time and effort devoted to them. The members of this organiza- tion will go out to teach, with a taste for the best music and a thorough ac- quaintance with selections suitable for use in school musical organizations.

The Men's Glee Club, which consists of eight members, was organized in September. Under the guidance and inspiration of Mr. Westhoff, the director, the men by diligent practice were ready to sing before the student body at a very early date. They appeared in a joint program with the band during Gen- eral Exercises at the University and also at the Normal Community High School. Later they appeared in a joint program with the Girls' Glee Club before the student body of the University. They also sang at the Inter-Society Contest, the Faculty Women's Afternoon Teas, the Edward's Medal Contest and at the Mission in Bloomington.
The members of the club feel that they have had many pleasant hours at the weekly meetings throughout the year and that they have been well repaid for the time and effort they gave to this work.

"Lightlier move the minutes fledged with music.
The band under the direction of Mr. Westhoff has done much to make the minutes move lightly during the school year. It consists of twenty-eight mem- bers of whom several are pupils of the Normal Community High School.
It met for the first time the second week after the opening of school in Sep- tember, twenty members being present. This membership was soon increased through the untiring efforts of its leader. Students who could play instruments, but who had hesitated to join, were urged to do so; others were taught by Mr. Westhoff and taken into the band.
During the year the band played at the Homecoming celebrations, at gen- eral exercises before the University and the University High School, and before the Normal Hisrh School.

The orchestra, composed of students from both the University and Univer- sity High School, has helped to make the musical atmosphere of the year a pleasant one. It gave the students who so desired an opportunity for practice in concerted playing. By constant effort upon the part of its director, Miss Ropes, the orchestra has met on Monday evening during the entire year and by diligent practice was enabled to appear with great success before the student body on several occasions.
The orchestra has played for the Jester Play, the High School Junior Play, the University Junior Play and the University Senior Play. It also gave at general exercises a concert which was very much enjoyed by the student body.

Cfje spirit of &tf)lettcs
I, the Spirit of Athletics, am an admirer of health. I must lead the individual not only to a sound vigorous physical development, but to such ideals of healthful living that he feels a personal responsibility in the sanitation and in the health of his community.
Athletics teaches determination, the proper form and the proper spirit of combat, the taste both of victory and of defeat, and the ulti- mate shallowness of vainglory in contrast with the value of "team work. ' '
Moreover, there is taught in the struggle for athletic attainments the necessity for clean mental and moral habits: hence, athletics is a positive moral force.
Physical education and regard for health play an important role in the life of every nation that achieves eminence in either the indus- tries or the arts. And so it will ever be as time moves on; fo'r "the body is the home of the sold," and the mind rises most easily to pin- nacles of achievement when it is not handicapped by inherent weakness in the physical powers.
"Then, on with the game! We're here to fight For Bed and White, For I. S. N. TJ!"

When Coach H. H. Russell issued the first call for football candidates on the fourteenth of September, 1921, there were about thirty-five men who signed up for practice the following evening. On the first night about thirty men appeared on the field for practice. As the season advanced, instead of what has usually happened at Normal, namely, the squad decreasing in numbers, it increased ; and finally the Coach was at a loss to find equipment for the men who came out. The squad at its maximum consisted of about forty-five men, the largest number that has appeared for football practice on the Normal campus for a number of years; but in a month's time it had dwindled down to about thirty men who remained with the squad for the remainder of the season.
Among the men reporting for practice there were ten, namely, Litwiller, Roman, Sterling, Courtright, Watson, Jones, Boswell, Taubeneck, Brookshier, and Carlson, who had won their "N" in previous years. Among the new men reporting who had had experience, there were Changnon, who had played at Lake Forrest ; Doty, who had played center on the University High School team the previous year; and Dominietta, Stuhmer, Padley, Schneider, Fox, and Askew. Due to the fact that Jean Harrison, who had been elected captain for the season of 1921, left school to teach, Carlson was elected captain for the season.
When the first game was played, there were three men on the team who had not played football before. Normal easily defeated Lincoln by a score of 40 to
154
7 in this contest. This was a costly victory, as Normal practically lost the ser- vices of its star full back Dominietta, for the remainder of the season.
The next week the team journey to Eureka, whose team had ten men who had played the previous year. This game was played in rain and on a muddy field. Eureka won by a score of 8 to 0, kicking two field goals and making one safety.
The next two games were defeats. We lost to Illinois College by a score of 35 to 0, and to Bradley in a hard fought contest with the score ending 14 to 0.
On November 5, before a crowd of over 2500 enthusiastic Homecomers and students, the gray clad warriors representing the Reel and White defeated Charleston by a score of 42 to 3. The team played one of its best games of the season, the line opening up holes at will for the backfield.
The following week the team obtained revenge for its defeat the previous season by defeating Blackburn on its own field by a score of 74 to 0.
After the Blackburn game the team had nearly two weeks to prepare for the biggest game of the season — the Wesleyan game. This time was spent in correcting faults that had shown up in previous games, and in working out and drilling on new plays for the benefit of our Methodist brethren to the South.
The game with Wesleyan was played on Wilder Field in a sea of mud. Wesleyan, who had tied the strong Millikin team and defeated Knox and Illi- nois College, the last having defeated Normal, was picked as the favored one to win the Turkey Day contest. However, the warriors of the Red and White, realizing that they were the under dogs, fought as they had never fought be- fore and when the timekeeper's horn finally sounded over the muddy field, the result was a scoreless tie.
The season on the whole was one of the most successful that Normal has had for a number of years. The credit for the success of the team belongs to our snappy little Coach, H. H. Russell, and to assistant coach, D. H. Wells, who did good work in developing the men. The enthusiastic support of the student body did much to imbue the team with fighting spirit.

Russell
"Coach," full of pep and with his knowledge of the game, gen- erally manages to turn out a fighting team second to none.
Wells
"Dad" was with us as assist- ant coach and proved most val- uable in developing this year's athletes.
Carlson
"Slim," guard, was elected captain at the beginning of the season. While not a star, he played a steady and consistent game at his position all season.
Henze
' ' Henze, ' ' tackle, was another new man, but he rapidly learned the game, and more than one quarterback made a mistake by aiming a play at him.
Sullivan
' ' Sam, ' ' tackle, was a new man, but he developed into a depend- able man before the end of the season.
Litwiller
"Ott" played end. It was hard work for a runner to get around ' ' Ott ' ' as he was al- wavs on the job. (Note the fists!),.

Taubeneck
1 ' Taube, ' ' fullback, is not a large man but lie's a scrapper from his shoes up. His fight- ing disposition gave him the fullback position.
Sterling
' ' Jim, ' ' half back, was one of the smallest men on the team, and one of the best fighters. Jimmie was always in the game.
DOMINIETTA
' ' Wye, ' ' fullback, was a dan- gerous player at all times. He was unlucky in getting hurt in the Lincoln game and there- after could play in only a part of a game.

Roman
"Tony," quarterback, ran the team well, and could always be depended upon to do his share and more both on the defense and on the offense.
Markman
"diet," fullback, was a new man at the game, but he de- veloped rapidly into a fullback, who was always good for a gain when called upon.
Brickey
"Brick" played a mighty good game at tackle, and, as his name implies, he was a hard man for the opponent to run against.
157
.: ..:..'. : ■ '
Jones
'•"Walt," lineman, was a man who could play several positions equally well and also do fancy swimming. Ask him about his dive at Eureka.
Stuhmer
"Gib," halfback, a man who did his share when he had a chance, can be depended upon to develop into a star.
Doty
i ' Red, ' ' center, outplayed his opponent in every contest. No matter how small the opening, Red always managed to slip through and get his man.
Fristoe
"Fristy," guard, was a new man at football, but by the time the season ended he was playing with the skill of a veteran.
Changnon
1 i Chang, ' ' end, came to us from Lake Forrest. Could he play football? He made it mighty dangerous for an oppo- nent to go around left end. He was elected captain for the season of 1922.
Watson
' ' Rip ' ' played end and half- back. He was one of the best men developed and a good fighter, as shown by his work in the Bradley game.

In order to give the boys who failed to make the Varsity squad and who desired to play basket ball a chance to do so, a tournament was conducted in which teams from the different departments were entered. The departments that were represented in the tournament were the Agricultural, Manual Train- ing and the Junior and Senior Colleges.
Many of the games that were played were close and extremely interesting. The dope was upset a number of times, causing the race to be even more inter- esting and exciting. The first upset occurred when the Senior College defeated the Junior College team in a ten minute overtime game, and the second when the strong Manual Training team, picked to win the tournament, was defeated by the Aggies.
The Aggies, the winner of the tournament, were a well balanced team dis- playing excellent team work and also a better ability to hit the basket than that possessed by the other teams.

Zijt pasfeet pall Reason
The basket ball season at Illinois State Normal University was by no means the most successful that the University has enjoyed. At the beginning of the season, the prospects appeared to be very bright. There was a large number of men in school who had had previous experience either on the Varsity teams of other years or on high school teams. The season opened auspiciously, Lincoln being defeated in the first game of the season, which was played before the Christmas vacation. After the holidays, the first game was with Lincoln Col- lege at Lincoln where the boys were defeated. From that time, the season was a succession of defeats with the exception of the game with Illinois College at Jacksonville, which was won by a close score.
Though the season was not a success in regard to games won, it furnished a chance for the development of a number of players who will be back next year. The men who have had the benefit of this year's experience should furnish a nucleus for a winning team for I. S. N. U. next year. At the annual basket ball banquet given by the Varsity Club, Ernest Butzow was elected captain for the coming season.
The following men were awarded letters in basket ball : Changnon, Sullivan, Mitchell, Sterling, Hicks, Butzow, and Dickey.

Cfje Ztatk Reason of 1922
The track prospects at the Illinois State Normal University for the spring of 1922 are the best since 1917. During the War and the years immediately following, the number of men in school was too small for both track and base- ball. This year we are fortunate in having a man in school who is able to de- vote his time to coaching the trackmen. Prior to this year, Coach Russell has divided his time between baseball and track with the result that track has been somewhat neglected.
In spite of the inclemency of the weather this spring, these men are es- pecially promising in the events in which they are entered : Markman and Fox in the long distance runs ; Dice and Fry in the 880 yard run ; Dice, Fry, Bos- well, and John and Ed Graham in the 440 yard run ; and Earnest Dickey, Hol- land, Boswell, and Jim Sterling in the dashes. Litherland and Changnon are in the hurdles. Changnon, Wayne Dickey and Joellenbeck are in the high jump. Crawford, Bridgewater and Changnon are in the pole vault. Litherland and Henze in the discus, Horner and Hendricks in the javelin, and Fristoe and Brenneman in the shot put are the best men for the weight events. The relay team which will be made up from the above men appears to be especially strong.

CHEER FOR OUR TEAM
(Words and Music by Mabel Eden Martin)
Cheer for our team,
We're here to fight for Red and White,
For I. S. N. U.,
We're loyal thru and thru.
So on with the game, We 're on the field — we will not yield ; The bleachers sway, the rooters say : "We'll win today."
So fight, fellows fight
And play with all your might ;
Be brave and true
In all you do.
See the foe, ready go! Hit them low, let them know That none can beat I. S. N. U. !

The athletic association membership includes the students and the faculty of the Normal School and the University High School. The business of the association is conducted by a board of nine members, composed of five students and four members of the faculty. The faculty members are two ex-officio mem- bers ; viz., the Director of Athletics for Men and the Principal of the High School, and two others elected at the second faculty meeting in the fall term. The athletic coach in the high school is usually elected one of these. The stu- dent members of the board are elected in the spring term for the following year : two from the seniors, one from the juniors, one from the sub-juniors, and one from the high school.
The organization of the athletic board consists of a secretary and a treas- urer elected from the student members, a president, who is the athletic director, and a chairman, who is an ex-officio member.
Most of the work of the athletic board falls upon the chairman and the treasurer for, while looking after the finances of the Athletic Association is not all the work done, it probably makes up most of the work. Due to the amount of time used by the treasurer, he is paid a small fee. All intercollegiate and inter-scholastic athletic schedules, and all awards of official N's and U's must be confirmed by the Board.
The Board, as constituted now, began in 1908. Since that time many changes have come about in the organization of the I. S. N. U. and, because of these changes, there probably will be a reorganization of the athletic association. The University High School is now a distinct unit, having its own athletic teams, and it should have its own athletic association. The Normal School has become a teachers' college with four years of work, and its athletic board should have representatives elected from each of the four classes.

During the past year W. A. A. has increased its active membership from forty to fifty-nine. Many other girls expect to become members in June.
Much interest has been shown in sports this year. Hiking has been par- ticularly popular. Besides the usual sports, classes in advanced gymnastics and dancing were organized.
The largest task of W. A. A. has been the revision of the point system ac- cording to the new national standard adopted at the Athletic Conference of American College Women last spring.
Several social events were held during the year. In the fall W. A. A. united their efforts with the Varsity Club and gave an all-school dance. In October a wiener roast was enjoyed by all the girls of the school. During Home- coming seventy-five old members were entertained at a luncheon at the Woman's Exchange. In the spring the annual sport luncheon was enjoyed by all girls interested in women's athletics.
Last spring the association won the silver cup in the Varsity Club Stunt Show. The stunt was entitled "The Sugar Plum Fantasy."
The annual carnival was given January 28 in the gymnasium. This was a great success financially and socially. The proceeds will be used to send a delegate to the national conference at Berkeley, California, in 1923.
The year's activities were brought to a close at the annual field meet which was held the last of May.

The Tennis Association organized in the fall of 1921 with a large member- ship. Due to the very careful planning of the schedule, which was worked out by the Grounds Committee, everyone was accommodated on the courts as nearly as possible at the time which he requested. The weather, however, was unfavor- able so that little tennis playing was made possible during the fall term.
The courts were in excellent condition for the spring tennis, work having been begun on them very early. The mid-spring term of this year was a very profitable tennis season.

Ktyt Spirit of Curtogttp
I, the Spirit of Curiosity, sometimes wonder what I am myself. Yet what I am I can not fully know; for the forces of the universe are dynamic, and I change as the new crowds out the old.
My many servants are always busy — yet forever willing to serve. The favorite among them seem to be: Who? What? Why? When? Where? Which? How?
I am with man always — when the buzzing confusion of the world begins to dawn upon his senses; when the babbling tongue of child- hood is never silent and the rambling feet are ever busy in exploring places strange; and I am with him still when his head is gray and bowed and when his ripened experience brings only deeper curiosities.
I shall be with you in the pages that immediately follow. Therein you will find the ridiculous seasoned with bits of things that seem grave: a strange medley and, therefore probably the more interesting ; for Variety, it is said, can keep us gazing at the mingled hues and shadows that she paints upon life's landscape, and can make even —
"The wisest of the wise Listen to pretty lies And love to hear them told."

At Saint's Rest a committee was meeting, And the boys waxed lond in their greeting To the popular man, who was leading the clan, While he worried that moments were fleeting.
This popular teacher, named Linkin',
Told the bunch "I do be a-thinkin'
The land-lord's pent ire will burst forth like fire
And when you 'come to,' you'll be blinkin'."
Our jolly yell leader, Hugh Garnett, Thot "I must have some fun; and, oh darn it, I just can't keep still, so I don't think I will, And Doc. Linkins may just as well larn it."
Then Carlson, whose pet name is ' ' Slim, ' '

Said, "Gee whiz, what's the use, since I've got to reduce

Spoke our dignified senior, Bechtold,
' ' Me thinks we are possibly bold,
But to make Doctor blush would be worth it. ' ' Oh hush !
We'll not mention the rest that "Beck" told.

Notes to "That Evening Hymn'
1. Misnamed — No self-respecting hymn would stand for it,
2. He is the only one who calls it that.
3. Consensus of expert opinion is that 'twould be far better if he were to direct his "wim and wigor" elsewhere,
4. Typographical error — should read "wabbly."
5. Rare is exceptionally well used in this instance, especially as applied to sweetness of quality.
6. Typ. error No. 2 — Should be "besmeared."
7. Oh what a whopper !
8. Trill is here used by the author to mean — "to bellow loudly, as 'the cow trills for her offspring'." (Sanctioned by poetic license.) Oh, poetic license, what dastardly deeds are did under thy name !
9. & 9a. Poetic license again but — we think — rather far-fetched.
10. Is it any wonder? They just naturally kicked the bucket! 10a. Even the night couldn't stand it — see, John!
11. The meaning is not clear here, as to who or what is meant by "him."
12. It is our opinion that the "treats" should come from another direction.
13. Many people have been wondering as to just what to call those agonizing vocal issuances. The author has undoubtedly rendered a valuable service to mankind.
14. Another Typ. error. (1 printer -|- 1 quantity selected White Mule = " # % — ' ( ) ( any tiling )

I may take various forms. I may appear as jazz or as the plaintive moan of one who has flunked Chemistry 31.
On the campus I am always represented : Iona Fidler, Anna Harper, also a couple of Bones.
Sometimes my voice may be as loud as a whisper in the library and again as soothed and subdued as Byquist 's voice or the buzz saw of the manual train- ing shop.
Proper time I find almost everywhere except in Mr. Beyer's classroom. The classes of other teachers come and go — but Beyer's go on forever.
My harmony I find in Scrivner's snore; in the flapping of galoshes; in Mr. Peterson 's Oliver ; in Philadelphia 's piano ; and in the games between Normal and Wesleyan.
My grace is gleaned from the splendor of the V. C. club rooms and the con- fabs near the Station Store.
Fullness I find in Hilsabeck's face, in Mr. Adam's smile, and in Pete Allen's specs.
Rhythm is difficult to locate but it may be found often in the patting of the Dean's foot at Gen. Ex., in the wagging of Wahoo's tail, and always in the ticking of Mr. Holmes' watch, and the rattling of Radley's Ford.
I am happiest when the W. A. A. gives a dance. I am saddest when Van Petten's orchestra plays at Gen. Ex. — ah me!
''Heard melodies are sweet, But those unheard are sweeter."
Amen.
