EDITORIALS
LAST YEAR
Last year we were only Sophomores, to be sure, and we lost the
banner rush, but what a wonderful
time we had. The year before
when we were Frosh, " Moving-tip
Day " hadn't meant very much to
us. Perhaps it was the rain or
perhaps it was just because we
hadn't been here long enough yet
to appreciate what " Moving-up
.Day" really means. This year
we're beginning, just now, to
realize a little more what it means
to develop suddenly from one class
to another. Our memories of last
year and the year before are all
the sweeter now that another redfetter day is nearly here. We've
been praying for weeks
for
weather like -May, 1918, and we're
sure our prayers will be answered.
W e have only one more step to
take — the longest, and most difti• cult .of all — before we'll be "out
on .OUT own." To think of not having with us those very good friends
of 1919 is not pleasant. We must
work hard to equal their achievements, but we have confidence and
hope to be their equals or maybe,
their betters. Who knows?
*21, DO YOU REMEMBER?
Well, '21, how do we feel about
it?
Just great!
Hut then why
shouldn't we,
Just reflect a few moments —
first on last year's banner rush the
night before " Moving-up Day,"
then on the splendid way in which
'21 showed up in the athletic events
at Kidgelicld Park, and lastly on
the fitting way in which we ended
our "Perfect Day" by winning the
inter-class sing at night!
Doesn't it just thrill you to think
of what we have done? And
doesn't it fill you brim-full of enthusiasm to do as much and more
to-night and to-morrow?
Do you remember the splendid
spirit of our sister class '19? Can
any of us ever forget that? '19 '21—
what do those numerals not recall?
'19, the best sister that '21 or any
other class could ever hope to
have.
And our '21 faculty, what of
them? Haven't they always been
just splendid? May we always
make them feel as proud to wear
the red and white as they have
been in the past.
To-night, '21, we are going forth
in. the spirit of victory. To-night,
to-morrow, and to-morrow night
spell success for the Red and
White.
TO A FRESHMAN
As a Freshman the thoughts of
" Moving-up Day " arc very strange
indeed. They are mingled with a
feeling of wonder as to what is
really going to happen and a feeling of great excitement, Just stop
to think that on that wonderful
day we won't be real Frosh any
longer. It will be the dawn of a
new day when we can go in and
out the 'front door without glancing
around to see if someone is watching us, We can begin to plan how
we will use the little h'rosh who
will arrive next fall, scared and
just as green as we were.
We look forward to " Moving-up
Day" with a little sadness too. We
hate to think that things will
change and won't always be the
I same as when we were Frosh. We
hate to see the Seniors leave us and
go out into the " wide, wide world,"
On the whole they have been very
good to us.
Nevertheless, with the expectation of a fine" time uppermost in
our minds, we shall keep on planning, and striving to make "MovThe traditions of college days ing-up Day," so far as wc are conbecome dearer when, even a faint cerned, the jolliest that State Colreminder of how soon they will be lege has ever known,

MRS SIMONS ADDRESSES
ENGLISH XX CLASSES
JOURNALISTS TO WORK
IN REAL NEWS " S H O P "
"The New York State Examinations Board has, for the past ten
years, been the governing power in
the matter of examinations, At this
hoard meeting a committee is appointed on nominations of question
committees. This committee selects
the members of the question committee on English who make out tentative question papers. Then this committee meets and discusses and revises the tentative drafts.
" It is a difficult task to make question papers for the pupils of a whole
state. The groups in the literature
questions must be complete ; the paper
must be well balanced, composed of
grammar, composition and literature
questions; questions should not^ he
repeated from year,to year; religious
prejudices should not be aroused by
any questions; topics must he-chosen
for both sexes and to suit both cities
and towns; party politics must he
avoided; and finally, ambiguity must
be avoided.
" When the questions have been decided upon the papers are edited and
set up in type. They are subjected
to a process known as 'trying it out
on the dog.' Mr. Congdon and Mrs.
Simons work out the answers to the
questions. Perhaps this is not quite
fair as they are adults and not under
the strain of an examination. The
papers then go before a revision committee. This committee criticises and
approves, after which the papers are,
if necessary, altered again and then
go to print.
" The answer papers, when removed fr.om the metal box, are
counted and each package is tied in
blue or yellow string, according to
previous marks. The papers from
schools and teachers who rated welt
in the last examination are tied in
blue string and put away for rating
by sample. Those from schools arrd
teachers whose rating in the former
exam was not satisfactory, are
tied in yellow string' and sent out for
thorough examination. This is not a
hard and fast rule.
" Rating by sample is a process of
partial rating by which is checked tip
the work of schools ordinarily satisfactory. A few papers are chosen
and read as a test. If these have
been satisfactorily rated, the entire
package is stamped 'Accept all paners
at school rating' without further examination, (f one or more of these
papers taken as a test are rejected
or changed, but the remainder wellrated, the package is stamped 'Accept at school rating all papers except those marked with a per cent,
in blue.'
"This task is very great—to rate
evenly and accurately many papers
from pupils whose handwriting and
style is unfamiliar. Of the 75,000
English papers turned in at Albany
last year, possibly 50,000 were read.
There is nothing in the rumor that
papers are looked over by high school
students. There were about forty
examiners after the June examinations. They were at least normal or
college graduates or graduate students and some high school principals. Each examiner is given a typewritten copy of instructions, The
senior examiner acts as a supervisor
and a court of appeal throughout the
whole period of rating.
"All possible care is used to prevent dogmatic standards and arbitrary rulings. Minor cases of doubt
go to Mrs. Simons and major ones
to Mr. Congdon. It is the policy of
the Department to_ accept any wellestablished authority or any commonly-recognized construction,
" The rating of composition is
the most important part.
