So well. so well:

Uut you 'll all feel 811.d when we have S.'lid farewel l.
·:In Junior year we grew so smart
And bright, and bright.
We learned our Algobm b,\' heart
At night, nt night.
We uevcr cnlled on ladies then,
We ne,·er looked upon the men,
Bu t we'll nil feel sad when we have said farew ell.
As Seniors we h!l\'e reached the go:~. I,
So high, so high.
The fortun e we hn\'e sought so long
Is nigh, is nigh.
Our minds are filled with know lege rare,
So of our fu turo have no care.
And you'llall feel snd when we have snid farewell.

they got Into " A Hogulnr Fix " nod made us laugh

The duties of a Junior clnll!l n.re many. Their JIO·

THE NORMAL POINTER.
Athletic conte!ltafor tho year nre m·ers.nol records
show that we have dctrnctcd nothing from the prtll'·
iOUIJ athletic &t.'lmling of the schooL Un for wnato
clroumstances rende red ou r football schedule short.
Only threo gnmes were played, two o r these res ulting In a victory. the other being n tic. The team
was put under a decided dismln1.ntag6 as they were
unable to obtain a coach, but. taking thingN into
their own hands they formed a team which, consid·
crlog everything, 1\CI..'Om plishcd ve ry pleasing results. This they would hnvo been unable to do, had
It not been for the euthu&i!l.Stic snp])()tt given them
them by tho students o f thu school. Nothing will
help a team more or cheer them on to greater efT on
than to foolthn.t the school is with thew ami they
are expectod not only to uphold tho r~:o rtl of tho
school, hut substantiate tho trust put in them hy
their fellow studeu t8.
Our baakctball team 1\S usual en. me in for its share
o f honOrs. Several games wore played with other
Normal.!! and Uigh schools, nnd n fair share of them
won. Although wo did not callLUre the Normal
championship. tho b:u~kotball team set n fnir stan·
da.rd for uoxt year's team to lh·e up to.
Tho Tennis RI&OCiatio n h1U1 UC\'Or bt'tl n in a bettor
condition, both lUI to nwmbcrship nnd liu:mce, i:lm n
this year. E\·cr si nce tho court.s wuro in lit cond itio!)
tboybavebeen iu.const:mt u;;e. \\ o expect l!OIUC
interesting matches before the tourn ament closes.
A ~ tho opening of tho season tho man agement
made several attempt.ll to arra nge n. liel•l moot wit h
neighboring schools, but was unnblo to do !10. Still
we are not to be deprived of the pleasure of wit·
n es.~ing a field meet. The Seniors hn.vo challe nged
tho Juniors, annd :a.s n strong r i\·nlry c:dsts between
the two classes nlong this \I no. wo expect to see a
meet worthy o f our best attention.
Tho b:tSelmll spil'it h!UI n m high this spri ng. Do·
sides tho regular school tenm encb class hnslts team.
So f:1r only one match game hns been played by tho
cl~ teams. This was between tho Senior nnJ Jun
ior teams, the Juniors winning by a &core of 20 to
15. Cl:l.S5 h.oeli ng rnn high and the onthusin.sm wn!l
uuboumlcd . Tho crowd. though small, wn.s plainly
in evide nce, nnd O\'Cry good play brought forth its
liLting re ward. Probably tho most prominent foa~­
urcs of t ho gnmo were the errors, but they wore dis·
tributetl quito t:lvenly o n both sides, nnd tho lnrgo
score W:lll duo to those more than to tho balling.
Tho reJeular school tcn.m h:l.!l pla;ed one game up
to the Jlrcsont writing. This with l..awrcnci! Un i"
\'Crsity. Considering that our boys had prncticcd as
a team o.~ nl y one week hofore the gnmo came o fT,
they played \'tlry well. lint the superior trnlningof
the IAawrmu:e hoys brought tho usual result. Wo
were l ~eatt:l n by tho score o f 14 to 0. Ncgotin.tions
aro bei ng cnrrit.'< l on for a rcLUrn gnmo ami wo hope
to sec the tables turned. ·
Coni'!C rvatii'l m h:lll been the motto that ha.s guided
the Athletic 11880<:i ntion for mollt o f tho past year.
Hu t at the end of the year we entered upon some ob·
ligations a~o:ain st the willhe! of tho olde r and wiser
mcml)(lrs of the nssocintion. and ns a. result tho
~re:lS nry ill empty a nd we hB\'O a debt on our hands.
So all we can bectncat h to our .'IUCCC!!SOr'i!l Is a high
athletic stand:ml. our best wishes and n. d eliclt In

tho school, and the other class, to which belongs tho
enorgf':tio student.. who Is found in every school
movement willing to help on ovtlry good cause. Tho
editor saya fsrthor, that students of tho t\nt claM
never belong to the variou• school societies, never
Jearo a achool song, In fact never do a oytblcg for
the instilntlon which is ,Joiog 80 much for them.
'fbo editor has doubtless como In contact with n
class of student& which I'm sorry to say, Ia too com·
