NORMAL NOTES.
Deut.: ''Blest be the tie that binds y
Charlie Eek and Bert Nelson. They
sing to keep up their spirits.
Monday and Tuesday have given
for some of the young ladies who be-
lieVe their quadriennlal privileges to
raise the question as to whether Prof.
Van Hoose dyes his mustache and also
whether the dye would rub off if, well
If. 1t will at once be- seen that the
perceptive faculties of these young la
dies are abnormally developed as the
professor is single man, young and
handsome. we expectantlv await
speedy developments. Quae palmam
vincet lila ferat.
After talking Charlie Eek into a fe-
yer only one of the three volunteered to
go for a doctor, but the others refused
to allow it on the ground that he must
learn to stand more than that.
Bert has been dubbed the politician
another example of what his boarding
place has reduced him.
A couple OF young men took PITY on
our desolate appearance and conde
scended to come and relieve the monot-
Ony; not seeing any frames specially
devised for chromos they did the next
best thing and perched themselves in
the west windows. However, in this
position they needed a couple of young
ladies to catch their feet in case they
fell.
We now serve notice on all clubs to
chrlsten themselves before our next is.
sue or we will do so for them. No Jaw
baeakers.
The visitors during the past week
were Miss Meyer, Mrs. H. Fair, Prof.
Wilson. j. Strathers, Mr.. Patten.
Association with saints has had a Pc
culiar effect. 1t has developed a poll
tician.
Mrs. Hahn conducted the devotional
exercises Tuesday morning.
For once the boy who goes to church
just for the sake of escortlng his best
girl to and fro was satisfied. AT the
courthouse last Sunday everything was
full except the basement and the steep
le. This should hardly come under
Normal Notes. as of course there are
none such" among the normalltes.
The normalites are now mixing up
three terms. chicken, ice cream and
foumans'. % cents for single sorrow,
so cents for double bliss.
The change from the whole to the
halliday session which was rendered
possible Monday by an extra teacher is
just what was needed. Supt. Shell
stated that those who so desired could
come up for afternoon instruction, but
close watch has failed to reveal any
such. The pupils smiled happily, the
teachers broadly, and they were Obliged
to station guards at each ear to warn
their mouth Corners not to go beyond.
The only man the back of whose neck
was affected by the smile that started
with his mouth was the poor time keep
er and gong-ringer.
Walking" she never wandered but
once.-Napoleon.
And still we see few of those young
ladies wear hats to keep from being
questioned. 1t is time the young men
apply for distinctive badge.
We can boast of no Leather Stock
ing who like David has slain his ten
thousands, but we have young man
who has courageously ''shed his coat''
for fightwith custom, and though not
Misunderstanding, he is at least a
Leather-Gallows. Had we all as much
courage we might retain more of the
oleaginous.
Prof. Wilson who will be an instruc-
tor in the Woods county norroal for its
last four weeks, was up from Alva last
week and made visit of two DAYS to
the norm al, instructing in some of the
classes. Prof. Wilson reports the Alya
Normal as fourishing.
| Prof. Van Hoose, of Pratt, has been
engaged by Supt. Shell for the remain
ing four weeks of the normal. Prof
Van Hoose comes well recommended
from Pratt where he taught last year
and Will teach the coming term. He
has made a good impression which vii
doubtless improve with time as the fact
that he is q slayer is shown by his re-
employment at Pratt. The normalites
are TO be congratulated at this happy
outcome OF their trials.
The following have entered since oul
