CELEBRITIES AMONG THE GIRLS.

She was just a plain, everyday kind of a girl-at least, so I thought when she first came to M. S. N. S. But now-she's t'ie jokiest, wittiest, story-telling, song-inging, 'laughin'- est, jolliest "feller" you ever saw. Ask anyone around Normal who the best all around sport is and they will say, - "Hazel." You want a favor and can't get it anywhere else, go to Hazel. She is the most free- hearted girl in Normal, and I guess if you wanted it, and named it to her, and it was hers, she'd give you the earth. Let's give Hazel a hand- shake-a real, hard one-onne that will make her shout and make us laur'' again.

Has anyone seen a little girl in a red middy running around Normal? She isn't very dangerous, because she is our Senior President. Watch out for her though when she is play- ing basketball. "Wood, guard Lynchie over there," shouts the Cen- ter. "I am trying to," says Wood, "but she is like lightning. By the time I get over there she will be somewhere else." No, our little President is as harmless as she is sweet. Never a care or a frown she wears. Always light-hearted, jolly, and a smile for everyone. Let's give three cheers for her. Hurrah! Hur- rah! Now make the last one a long one. as Garmon says, H-u-r-r-a-h! Lynchie!

Who said we didn't have another little bird around Normal besides our Oriole? If you don't believe it, just listen to our Junior Nightingale, who is just so chirpy. . Her singing is full of the blithest joy. From morn till night we can hear her voice ringing out full and clear, uncon- scious of the joy and sunshine she is spreading around M. S. N. S. Charlotte not only entertains us, but she also leads us, when, in the ab- sence of Miss Shurtz, we have no music director to beat time for us in Assembly. Charlotte sing, make your neighbor sing, and soon the world will be singing.

"Where, oh, where is Helen Cox? Gone up to the Hall of Fame. She's sportsmanship have made her fam-

gone up for Student Government President. Gone up to the Hall of Fame."

Because of her faithful work with the Student Government the name of our happy, dimple-faced Helen has been written in the Hall of Fame. But, dear readers, let me tell you that Helen, although quite serious during a Student Govern- ment or Student Council meeting, is hear her talk. She has the typical also a jolly, smiling girl. Lucky is he whom she smiles on.

"A full ric'i nature free to trust Truthful and almost sternly just." Just such . a girl as Hilda Nolte must have inspired Whittier to write these lines. She stands for sympa- thy, good fellowship, sincerity, and honesty. What traits are more de- sirable in the Vice-President of our Student Government.

she. When we see her surrounded by, a group of little children, ready to absorb the overflowing knowl- edge of Caroline who is acting the role of teacher, you will know that s'e is as happy as she can be. May love and joy attend you always through life.

A tall, brown-haired girl comes down the hall. She is very busy and must hurry to keep all her appoint- ments, but she always has a kind word and a smile. She sympathizes with and helps any poor unforunate who hasn't done his lesson. "Always help a friend in trouble," is her motto. She looks very serious, but oftimes, out of school, she can be found in a gay or laughing mood. She enjoys a joke as well as any, and her responsibilities do not ruin " er cheerful disposition. Well, when this girl you see, it's Miriam Cron- hardt- the new President of Stu- dent Council.

Who is our Captain? Anna De- Rau, of course. Everyone who has been to the basketball games knows who she is. She is the jolliest of girls and always has some new joke or slang expression to pull off on the other girls, her favorite saying

at present being, "Now don't get flip on my hands." In the game Ann is a wonder. The floor in the center is usually kept clean because of her wiping it up with her uni- form. Then, again, that smile on her face never wears off regardless of the results of the game for she is a good loser as well as a good winner. Her jovial manner and good

ous.

"Who is a good Junior celebrity?" I asked of a group of Juniors. "Why, Marjorie Hayden, of course," they answered. "To be sure," said I, "I almost forgot her." Marjorie is too well known among the Juniors and also among the Seniors to need a description. I, personally, like to

Eastern Shore accent. and has a very jolly manner with everyone. I

hear that she is a big tease and de- lights in playing jokes on people. But, with all this, Marjorie is a re- liable, dependable, and energetic Junior. 1. A. C. HYATT, Sr. IV.

Dear Juniors:

You can't imagine what a won- derful time we had at our dance Friday night, even if it was Friday, the thirteenth, when our luck usu- Ally runs the wrong way. ,

Everyone looked very attractive. Some floated ahout in silks and geor- gettes, while others tripped a light fantastic toe in simple street attire.

The decorations were most appro- priate. Our Committee must have toiled long, weary hours, in their work, for the hall certainly did them credit. Flowers and greens were placed so as to give the effect of a flower garden.

But all too soon the last strains of "Home, Sweet Home," ceased, and we sauntered to our rooms only to tell the stay-at-home what a mar- velous time we had had.

Here's hoping that your "Junior Dance" will be as great a success as ours has been. Of course we will want you write tell us about it.

Sincerely,

THE SENIORS, B. A.

A visitor, on coming to Normal one day, said to me, "Who is that young girl over there?" "Oh," I said, "that is Caroline .. " To 'me that seemed enough to say. We all know Caroline too well to know that 'e needs any one to describe her. Who is more honest and fairer than Dear 'Smanthy:

THE DORMITORY STAFF.

To them we give our friendship Who look after and care for us all,

To them we give our praises, The staff of old Newell Hall.

Miss Ayre, charming and gracious Our social director is she; The students simply adore her, May we in her memory be.

Mrs. Dingle, jolly and happy, Our hats we take off to you; By your sweet and friendly manner You're a pal-proven and true.

Miss Wells, "petite" and peppy, Plans food of just the right sort; At hikes and parties and dinners, We find her a dead game soprt.

Miss Matthews, cheerful and kind, Keeps each and all of us well; Indeed, an angel of mercy is she, As many a girl can tell.

Miss Amberson, sweet and dainty, The big sister of the crowd; In Administration Hall she lives, Long ring her praises loud.

Now let us cheer our dear staff, And let the echoes soar; The dear staff of M. S. N. S., We'll praise for ever more.

THE MINSTRELS.

"Man's inhumanity to man, makes countless thousands mourn." We think that Burns himself would have questioned the truth of these words could he have seen the large and enthusiastic audience which attended the Towson Min- strels on Thursday night. The per- formance was held under the aus- pices of the Children's Aid Society of Baltimore County, and a spirit of charity and goodwill seemed to per- vade the crowd.

The Normal School, which is al- ways interested in community affairs helped boost the Minstrels and also gave the use of the Auditorium to the Society.

From the moment the first singer came out until the last strains of the banjo died away the show was a great success.

But the best thing of all was that the community should rally so

splendidly to the cause of charity. JULIA WHALAND, Sr. I.

THE CHANGING STATUS OF EDUCATION FOR WOMEN IN THE PAST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.

teenth century there was little at- tempt on the part of women to break away from their own small area, comprising the home, church and possibly the neighborhood, but since that time there has been a steady, almost rapid, movement toward broader, more essential things that .. cannot be found in the home. This progress was shown by the rise of seminaries, academies for girls and beginnings of higher education all over the world.

This movement was gradual, un- til the outbreak of the World War, which seems to have been the owning point. Then the remark- able ability shown by women to cope with grave problems and also to ad- just themselves to new situations, aroused admiration and respect from all. Dating from that time, there has been a still more rapid progres- sion in the higher education of wo- men, as a result of which, they have not only developed intelligent and vigorous personalities, but are also taking an active part in movements for social betterments, in the vari- ous professions; law, medicine, poli- tics, teaching (in which they pre- dominate), and in numerous other ways of meeting and solving the race problems with as much assurance and capability as their partners, the men, and at the same time, carry- ing on the homes just as efficiently as their earlier uneducated an-

cestors.

LIFE IN "214."

If it has never been your luck to live in a cubicle in the Adminis- tration Building, you haven't Had the most out of Normal School life. Perhaps many of you will laugh at the very idea-but I speak from ex- perience and wouldn't have missed the life for anything.

In the first place, eleven wide- awake Juniors can get loads of fun out of making the life of a dignified Senior the very liveliest one at Nor- mal. The Senior of whom I speak

has helped make the life a real joy.

A very worthy member we have found our President. Under her guidance we have carried on our work as successfully as a national organization. "The Mysterious Thir- teen," we call ourselves, and it is really what we are. Our honorary member making thirteen in number comes from "215," so all respect to "215." We feel very sad to report

"Woman seems a different being since she has developed an intellec- tual life of her own, and her rights and wrongs as a human creature can that at some of our regular business no longer be judged solely by her usefulness to man."

meetings we did not have one hun- dred per cent. present, but we can our regular feeds.

Does "214" have an Orchestra? You just bet that we do. A six piece orchestra, and it meets every week on top of the partition. Our director has just reported the breaking of only one knitting needle, and our violin player has made no disfigurements on the tennis racket. As a final report we have furnished beautiful music, with but little ex- pense to the organization. Our con- cert night is June 6, 1923.

Naturally, true love never runs smooth and from this arises our many quarrels; true to life, and also true to the statement that Edi- son did his best work when angry.

"Did you hit me with that pil- low?"

"Yes. What are you going to do about it?" and then follow the slam- ming of non-compliments.

One of the most interesting fea- tures of the day is our two prize- fighters. As yet we have only wit- nessed two fights, because at the last one, the radiator was directly in front of the contestant, and the dam- age was a burned arm. Even the nurse questioned her statement of "I fell against the radiator." We feel sure that the antagonist's strength and skill will improve with practice, beyond that of Dempsey and Carpentier.

10.15, and the lights go out. All is quiet-then with a sigh and a groan some one turns over.

"I can't sleep, I didn't sleep all last night."

From cubicle 4, "I haven't slept for two nights."

"That's nothing," says some one else, "I haven't slept this week."

"For goodness sake, haven't slept since I started here to school," says the girl thinking she has added the conclusion, only to get the reply of "I never slept in my life."

"I have never slept in my life and I am older than any of you," says our superior Senior; we all turn over and go to sleep just as the clock in the old tower chimes the midnight hour.

EXCHANGES AND COMMENT.

The Whistle, Bruswick H. S .; Bruns- wick, Md .:

-We wish especially to commend the low price, the notes for various grades and the goodly number of advertisements.

The Spectator, Federalsburg H. S .; Federalsburg, Md .:

-We like the variety of original humor in the Spectator and find it very interesting. It is one of our youngest exchanges and is to be con- gratulated upon its progress so far.

The Spotlight, Proctor H. S., Proc- tor, Vermont .: -Although this is one of our new exchanges it has already won a place for itself. For especial com- ment we may mention its magazine form and the editorial and literary departments.

The Grapurchat, East Radford Nor- mal, East Radford, Va .:

-We like the Grapurchat, but it worries us every time we look at it because we haven't been able in any way to find the meaning of its name. Wii someone, anywhere, please write and tell ns what meaning (wise or otherwise) lies back of that astonishing name?

St. John's Collegian, St. John's Col- lege, Annapolis, Md .:

-This is a very popular exchange and rather widely read among our girls.

The Owl, Hurloc, Md .:

-The Owl is another one of our youngest exchanges and we consider it a very creditable carrier of East- ern Sho' news. The Owl lives up to its name and gives us many wise ar- ticles and witty jokes.

The Central Bulletin, Central H. S., Washington, D. C.

High School Life, Preston, Md .:

-This, another of those from the Eastern Sho', marked Vol. 1, No. 1., etc. We like these new exchanges and we are watching them grow.

The Eastern Echo, Eastern

High School, Baltimore, Md .:

-We found this to be a very ex- pensive looking paper and one of the most interesting we have received. We wish especially to congratulate the Eastern Echo upon its splendid sketches and cartoons.

The Talisman, Ballard H. S., Seattle, Wash .:

-The Talisman comes to us each week bearing its message across the continent. Evidently the boys and girls out there have plenty of pep.

Their paper shows it. We enjoy it and it helps us to know that people are alike the world over.

The Henderson Review, Henderson H. S., Henderson, Md .:

-We find this a very interesting little paper revealing plenty of school pep and evidentlly backed by enthusiastic boosters. We wish to congratulate them upon the amazing number of advertisements they have secured and the growth in size since Vol. 1, No. 1, which came out in January, 1923. Surely, with the co- operation of the business men of their own and surrounding commun- ities and their splendid school spirit, they are sure of great success in the future.

COME ON, CONTEST!

"For when the One Great Scorer comes

To write against your name; He writes not if you won or lost, But how you played the game."

This is what each Pest and Normal is thinking, and do you know why? In May there is a contest between the Normal and Pestalozzi Societies. How every one is already brimming over with pep to fulfil some duty for his Society and make it win!

The first chance, for the spirit to MARYLAND bubble out of the cup, will be given at May the Contest, 18. On this night the Public Speaking, Story Telling, Magazine and Author- ship groups of each Society will put on their best talent to give a decla- mation, tell a story, read an original article or short story. But this is not all, for who knows which will TOWSON, MD. be greater "The Maker of Dreams" or "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife." Come, on May 25, and find out for yourself.

If you want your Society to win, make your songs the cleverest, and sing them with the most pep. Every- one who is not taking part in the declamation or the plays is_putting his shoulder to the wheel, and mak- ing every song practice count by good attendance and by purposeful singing. "Lovin' Sam" might be the winner for the Pests, or "Seven or Eleven" might be the winner for the Normals.

Good sportsmanship will furnish the backbone of the contest. Re- member. "It counts not if you won i or lost, but how well you played the game."

St. John's Girls High School, Bal- timore City, is jubilant over the re- ceipt of a letter from State Super- intendent Albert S. Cook, stating that our school has been placed upon the State's best recognized high Schools. When you consider that St. John's has given to the teaching profession sixty-one teachers, thirty- nine of whom have been or are at present teaching in Baltimore City or County, some of whom are prin- capals in our public schools, it seems but a fitting sequel that this school should rank as a recognized high school. They have a new Home Economics Department, a new gym, and the place is alive with such ac- tivities. I hope I am a true pro- phet in saying St. John's is more than likely to better its own record in sending to our profession teachers.

A TALE OF THE BELL.

'Twas in history class. One poor trembling maid

Had come with her lessou undone, The room seemed to darken and whirl all around, She felt as if falling headlong.

When the teacher looked at her, oh, what should she do?

Would the "goody" in back of her tell?

"Next question," rang out the teach- er's clear tones, And r-r-r-ring went the bell!

'Twas in English. The teacher had ordered a test, "You should think a long time, ere you write!"

So one poor lass sat thinking, alas! Her thoughts were ne'er given to light.

For ideas came crowding so thick and so fast So mingled and scattered pell- mell, That just as she took up her pencil to write- R-r-r-ring went the bell!

'Twas in music. Recitations were over at last,

The day had been tiresome and long, The class felt like taking a three hours' nap,

But the teacher demanded song; The voices were squeaky, the notes were all flat, "The Spring Song" was sung like a knell; But they stayed there and sang it all over again Though r-r-ring went the bell. ANNA MALLONEE.

Think and answer with "nothing but the truth!" What phase of the social life here at school do you really enjoy the most?
