RAIN WHEN I AM SAD

Music of rain on the sod Earthworms and I are rejoicing.

Cadent tears of God In tempo of peace are downing.

Vigorous odor of earth, Earthworms and I are rejoicing.

My sadness is born of mirth · Mirthful, the rain is but sobbing. IRVING SOLLINS.

THE SENIOR PRESIDENT A PATTERN.

Phillips Brooks once said, "I pity from my heart the man who has no pattern man whom he can thoroughly admire and esteem. Admire, yes, won- der at, look at as something beyond, above and truly better than himself; honoring his friend so purely that he himself is purified and dignified by the worthiness of the honor he be- stows. The Junior Class would cer- tainly not need Mr. Brooks' sympathy, for we have in our midst a friend worthy of such admiration-and 1 think we realized this in our recent class election, for we bestowed on her our highest means of appreciation. IIelen Nicols, our Senior President-

WIIO'S WHICH

A Special Department in This Issue of the Tower Light Which Has No Connection With Who's Who I. H. M.

A curly blond with Irish eyes and a coat of healthy tan Who makes the girls pull their best sighs, "Oh, you cruel man!" Plays outfield on the baseball team, and bows a wicked fiddle-

It really does seem awfully mean-he should love the girls a little!

II. A. E.

The teacher's waiting for the key; the class seems stricken dumb, Then Annie's hand going up you see- she quotes the hook, by gum!

III. W. B.

When Walter first let fly some words, the classroom threw a fit; In Nature Study he knew his birds- the class got over it; In Geog. his herds, in Math, his surds; the class respects his wit!

IV. E. F.

I wonder what's become of Sally, that old pal of ours;

The ten-pins tumble down the alley Ever since the day that Sally went away

To do her student teaching on the road to Mandalay.

She plays some nifty basketball; her tennis sure is swell; She led the Student Council, and leads her class as well.

V. W. M.

Always spoiling for a fight; never yet been treated right;

But when you put him in the light, his outer shell comes off; he's white-

He leads in almost every sport, but keep him off the tennis court!

VI. R. L.

Miss Munn calls her the laziest white girl in the world; can she be right ?

"Babe" Ruth on the baseball field; Helen Wills a-playing tennis, Galli Curci on the concert stage; but her heart is where the men is.

VII. F. F.

His witty wisecracks keep us gay; baseball's the game he sure can play ; You never hear our hero say he flunked in anything today.

VIII. H. M.

At every game he takes the blame that baseball bosses get, Despite his name he's earned great fame; he toots the first cornet; But all the same, ain't it a shame ? 1 he's not the teachers' pet! --

SHAVING A DIMPLE

Dimples were made for members of the fair sex-not for men. A man with a dimple is the victim of some practical joker, with the peculiar sense of humor common to such "nit- wits" far up in the land where they make animals with a small amount of intelligence and call them human be- ings. The dimpled man, through no fault of his own, is a transgressor from the paths of masculinity and, the way of the transgressor is hard. He, or the dimple, is adored-hated, petted-insulted, smiled upon- frowned upon; he envies the man with the clean-cut chin and he himself is an object of envy. But, looming above all of these things with the dominance of Pike's Peak over the surrounding country, is one reason why the dim- pled man is to be sympathized with and considered unfortunate in the ex- treme and that has to do with the removal of excess hair from the said dimple. I speak from experience, for I am a dimpled man. Cursed be the joker that made me so!

Since the beginning of time bearded and smooth faces have come and gone in cycles-cycles complete in them- selves, and as regular as the other, and less important, historical cycles. Because of my great affliction, I was interested enough to investigate at great length these cycles, and I here- with submit my report ..

The life of the early cave man was | my chin is never as clean-shaven as

a long, continuous struggle against the growth of lengthy and matted beards. By the time of the Romans, man had gained wonderfully on his enemy, and one will find many clean- shaven men. Then followed periods of rapidly alternating bearded and clean- shaven faces, until a generation or so ago the world was in the grasp of an- other period of beards, as intense and as well liked as is the modern smooth- faced age. How much simpler the study of history would be if it were divided into-The First Bearded Age, The First Shaven Age, et cetera.

We are told that there is a reason for everything. The reason for these cycles is-Dimples. Men, having spent hours of ceaseless toil endeavor- ing to steer a razor of some sort in, out and around a dimple in their chins, while searching for a way out of their dilemma very naturally Ict their beards grow instead of trying to cut them (the dimples) off along with the rest of their chins. After an Age of Beards the members of the opposite sex got busy; through their mysterious underground channels, over their back fences, and in their sewing circles, they planned a cam- paign against the beard of the male on a platform of-Horridly Ugly; Very Unsanitary; and last, but not least, Extremely Ticklish. What chance has a man got against such a

platform, especially against the last plank ? He is powerless. He submits. The world enters once more upon a period of beards.

Not having lived in one of the pe- riods of "unshavility" that divided an Age of the Shaven from one of the Unshaven, the only first-hand infor- mation that I can give is my own struggle against a beard.

First of all, I do away with all ex- cess hair on my upper lip and on my cheeks. This is easy, for there are no dimples there. This is the calm before the storm,the slow, andante move-

winds. However, the minute the good ship "Gillette" enters the treacherous waters of "Mychin" the storm breaks; the brasses crash and the tympanl rumble, the strings and the wood- winds change from their andante to a wild "Tempo di Storm." The "Gil- lette," fearful of hidden shoals, strug- gles along on a south-by-southwestern course, goes into reverse and strug- gles back. Courses set at all angles of the compass follow in rapid succes- sion; and when finally the "Gillette" docks her captain reports a rough voyage with frequent bloodshed.

So, after a careful and tedious toilet, I proceed to my destination to be met with remarks not at all complimentary to my ability as a pugilist.

Two things, though, keep me in the depths of despair-the little cleft in -

the rest of my face, no matter how many voyages the "Gillette" may make. And in spite of the erosion- or rather the cutting away-of my chin, the dimple persists in staying the same depth, at least it never gets any shallower. So all that I can hope for is that the cycle will swing to the other extreme and then I shall blos- som forth in all my glory with a Van Dyke.

DENNIS DANCERS

On Friday, May 27, the Te-Pa-Chi Club of the Elementary School con- tributed greatly to the pleasure of many by bringing to the Normal School Auditorium Miss Estelle Den- nis and her class of children dancers.

Both costumes and dances were lovely and of a very great variety. In fact, it was hard to tell whether those performing or those looking on had the best time.

During the intermission' commit- tees of Te-Pa-Chi Club members sold ment of the strings and of the wood- [home-made candies and ice-cream. Through their efforts and those of Miss Dennis and her class the Te-Pa- Chi Club has attained a little more financial poise and some very pleas- ant memories.

"JIMMIE."

"It is well there is no one without a fault, for he would not have a friend in the world."* If this is true, surely "Jim" should have multitudes of friends, for she has two very serious failings, namely, gym and gym teach- ers, but in one weakness she excels- gym work. No game would be quite complete without her presence, cither as cheer leader or as a player.

When "Jimmie" first came to Nor- mal she was labeled as "The freshie that took Normal by storm."

When one hears a group of girls laughing one knows that "Jim" is in their midst, probably telling them of some mistake she made, such as:

Teacher-"Miss Emerine, please hang my sweater on the right-hand side of the closet."

Lapse of five minutes, faint voice from within closet-"The right-hand side going in or the right-hand side coming out ?"

But not far below "Jimmie's" hu- mor one finds straightforwardness, truthfulness, trustworthiness and

frankness.

She's a true friend. What more can be said ? J. ROSS.

BASEBALL

Since the last issue of the Tower Light all the baseball news that has newsed can be summed up in one small word-Rain. If I am ever so fortunate (?) as to be elected a base- ball manager again I am going to de- cline on the grounds that I would make a much better weather prophet.

If you remember, in the last num- ber we were looking forward to Mt. St. Joe's visit to our diamond. Well, we are now looking backward to it with just about the same amount of thankfulness. St. Joe has the heap big Injun sign on us-we beat teams who beat St. Joe, and yet we lost to St. Joe. They say that Philadelphia lawyers can solve Chinese puzzles, well-we invite all the descendants of Bill Penn to go after that one. Any- way, St. Joe had the long end of a 12-4 score.

The May Tower Light was strictly a Junior Number, so we did not men- tion the fact that the Seniors defeated the Juniors, 11-8, in a wild-and-woolly imitation of a ball game, played on Campus Day. It would not have been in keeping with the high, even tenor of the issue to have mentioned this little disturbing element. However, since this is practically a Senior Issue, we want the fact to be well known, broadcasted from the house- tops, as it were, hence all this gibber- ish. The members of the Senior team will receive their class numerals.

So far, I have not made this article as long as my last one, so I must con- tinue my ravings. A brief resume of the year's sports is in order. Thejlost matches were by scores of 5-1, soccer team enjoyed an excellent sea- 5-2, 4-3, and 4-2, with only one shut- out, City College's 6-0 victory, in which one doubles match was tied. son-the best in years. Very strong teams such as Naval Academy Our last match is scheduled with Mount Saint Joseph's at our courts for Friday, June 3. They defeated us early in April by 5-2, but the match was played on their courts, and one of our best players was missing from our line-up. Thus we feel we have fairly good grounds for expecting a victory this time. By the time you read this, you will know just how good the grounds were. Plebes, Western Maryland College and Tome Prep School were met, and Normal fell by the wayside only twice-if I remember correctly. The basketball team, while not so success- ful as the soccer team, finished with the majority of games on the right side of the book. They had an ex- cellent, well-balanced team, and really went out of their class to win-and they did win. As for baseball, the total still stands-won, 4; lost, 2, The Junior-Senior tennis match is scheduled for June 6. The Seniors are one ahead in the sports series for the year, so much depends on tennis. The match promises to be a close one. called off because of rain, 9. One look at these figures would send a baseball manager insane-or is it feeble-mind- ed, I never can keep my psychology straight !- yes, thank you, I am quite A number of tournaments have sane-I am not a manager, I only pre-| been run this season, including men's tend to manage. Anyhow, they were singles, girls' singles and something

all good teams in every sense of the word.

It is one of the misfortunes of a two-year college that the fellows do not stay long enough to get going well. By the time a team is well de- veloped about three-quarters of it graduates and the coach, with the patience of Job, must begin again. Such all-round men as Windsor, Ma- haney, Stouffer, Muller, and single- sport men such as Ford, Murphy, Reck and Dudderar are going to be very much missed next year. For next year the basketball team should have clear sailing; the soccer team should have but little trouble; but in baseball an entire new team must be developed. This is just one of the tough breaks that any team is liable to get-it is a part of the game. So then, to the teams of next year, the Class of 1927 wishes an abundance of material in the new Juniors, and all the luck and success in the world.

H. R. MANAKEE, Mgr.

THE TENNIS SEASON

The tennis season has thus far been infinitely more successful than last year's, as a comparison of the records of this year's and last year's teams will show.

Last year the team played only three matches, with City College, Marston's and Severn. Every match was lost by scores, respectively, of 9-0, 6-0 and 7-0. Not so good!

This year, at the time of this writ- ing, of seven matches completed, two have been won, and five lost. The

entirely new here at Normal, a mixed doubles tournament. This was start- ed rather late in the season, and sev- eral defaults have occurred due to lack of time, but 14 teams entered, and prospects are bright for complet- ing the tournament by June 8. This is mighty good for the first year; next year's mixed doubles should be much more successful.

Tennis is a game that is becoming more and more popular every year, and deservedly so, as everyone who plays will avow. This popularity has been reflected here at Normal with a much more successful season this year than last, and with prospects bright for a still more successful one next year. Here's luck!

THE CIRCUS

Every year Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey's Circus comes to town for two days, but weeks before' children all over the city are looking forward to it. Is there anything that is of greater interest to a child than the circus? To go to the circus is one of the big thrills of childhood, but children do not always wait for the circus to come to them; they often create one of their own in some form or another.

Two weeks before the big circus came to town this year, the children in the second grade of No. 97 School

This class at No. 97 is a practice centre for students of the Maryland State Normal School, and the students who were teaching at the time were also learning a great deal themselves and were getting as much of a thrill

as the children did in working on it. to decorate my pages all alike. My

It was an experience that was used to gain and hold the interest of the children, and it did hold the interest of every boy and girl in the class. Through this interest they were not only learning many things about the ' page with beautiful trees and flow- circus, but they were learning facts about nature, hygiene and geography. Their games, music, literature, read- ing and handwriting also centered around the circus.

All this, of course, was lots of fun, but -he work period was the best of all, for then they had an opportunity to make a circus. With old boxes, nails, hammers, saws, clay, cardboard, paper, crayons, scissors, paint and paste they made a circus of which Mr. Barnum himself might have been proud.

The next best thing to going to the circus was going to the Zoo. So one bright, sunshiny morning forty chil- dren and two teachers climbed into a big bus and went to Druid Hill Park to see the animals. They were just the same animals that one sees in the circus, and so these animals were the topic of conversation for several days. The trip offered many suggestions for oral composition lessons and for the sand-table project.

This circus that lasted two weeks was a keen pleasure, both to the chil- dren and to the teachers. On the very last day of the two weeks, the chil- dren themselves gave a circus, using ! the games and songs they had learned ahout the circus.

It isn't always possible to take a class of forty-three children to the circus, but it is possible to bring the circus to them.

A BARE HILLS PROJECT.

The pupils of the sixth grade at Bare Hills Elementary School have been making trenchers. These trenchers, or wooden dishes, were used during the Middle Ages.

The period of history that they are studying is about the thirteenth cen- tury, when monasteries were very popular.

The children have placed themselves back in that age and have written stories about their labors.

A carved wood hack for a book is in the process of making. This will be painted. The leaves of the book will be made of tag hoard and will

PAINTING AND DYES

As I was sitting at my high desk thinking thoughtfully about my pre- cious book a thought passed through my mind, picturing magnificent col- ors. I will have to know how to make dyes. In order to make the dyes I must kindle the fire, then get a sauce- pan and in it place the water in which the bark has been steeping. I must dip out the thick liquid into little bags. After the bags are filled I must put them outside. Day after day passes, then I find the bags are filled with a black powder. As I use it I melt it until it is made into a black ink. Then I have my gold to prepare. Many of my dyes come from vege- tables. When my painting is finished I will fasten silver nails and carve silver corners on my book. This will be a labor of love.

A BIRTHDAY PARTY

There is something about No. 25 School that cannot be explained. It is something that is just a little dif- ferent from other schools. Perhaps it is the size of the school; perhaps it is the atmosphere of the place; per- haps it is the attitude of the teach- ers-but whatever it is, one doesn't seem to be able to get away from the lure of it (even if one wanted to). Even the pupils who leave and go to other schools, always want to come back, and they often make special efforts to visit the school.

One day, not long ago, a woman came into the school with a big bun- dle in her arms. She said that it was her little girl's birthday cake, and that the little girl had sent it to the teachers. Yes, it was the whole birth- day cake that had never been cut. The little girl's name was written across the top in large white letters, and inside of the bundle was a note for each teacher. The notes were really poems, for each one was label- od at the top-"pocm."

It was such a loving tribute, and really the cake looked so good that

Page 9

it was cut with great ceremony. At lunch time the teachers assembled for the cutting of the cake. Each teach- er in turn read her poem and then ate a big slice of the cake.

First there s a poem to

the school-all the teachers:

"To the School No. 25"

When I had my birthday on April 23rd,

I was so happy and proud and a little mad.

I wanted the teachers from School 25 To sit around the table and cut the cake with a knife.

I wanted all my teachers to sit around the table that day.

But now I am inviting all the teach- ers on my concert the 3rd of May. I will play in the orchestra as a solo- ist by myself.

I hope the Lord should help me and give me the best of my health. SYLVIA ANGEL.

Sylvia also wrote poems for each teacher she had while she was at- tending School No. 25. (She was transferred to another school in the city last year.) This is the poem she wrote to the Kindergarten teacher, Miss Thompson:

To My Dear Miss Thompson

Miss Thompson was the teacher who learned me so nice and good. I'll never forget Miss Thompson in all my childhood. She used to play with the children so | nice and with me

I'll never forget my dear teacher, Miss Thompson nor how she used to be.

When I started to learn music she was happy and proud.

I love Miss Thompson with all my heart. SYLVIA ANGEL.

To the first grade teacher she wrote:

To My Dear Teacher, Miss Ethel When I was by Miss Ethel In grade number one! Miss Ethel used to tell us Stories full of fun. For speaking loud she used to get mad

But my dear teacher, Miss Ethel, Never gets out of my head. SYLVIA ANGEL.

The first one was an invitation to attend a concert in which she was to play. Needless to say, the teachers accepted the invitation and went to the concert.

Sylvia, who was just nine years old on the 23rd of April, is a Peabody student, and the concert was a student recital in which she was one of the violin soloists. She is quite talented musically as well as poetically. and with it all, she is a charming, lovable child.

TO THE FIFTH GRADE

When we came to the library We did not surmise

That the Fifth Grade had for us A lovely surprise.

A book case all polished, And shiny and new,-

To serve to remind us Of your thanks and you.

We'll fill it with fiction And books of all kinds,

To lighten your spirits And improve your minds.

DREAMS

Dreams are such kaleidoscopic things, Shifting, hazy, and confusing.

They weave half-finished myths and legends,

Characters, and queer, unreal events. They flit in dark, disordered phantoms Through the deep hallways of the mind,

Then find a place secluded in its depths,

And hide. Awake we seek, but can- not find Their forms again. Remembered frag- ments,

Linger in the brain, but half-recalled -in part,

A splash of scarlet and the sheen of iridescent silk,

The billowing masses of the foam- flecked sea,

A purple mountain dark against the distant sky,

and

Hideous shapes forms with demon's eyes, And cries and wailings from the wil- derness-

The half-remembered part of dreams. ELEANORA BOWLING.

COME, HAVE NO FEAR!
