Semi-Annual House CIeaning:s-
Sketches From The Institute.

Well THIS is the last week of normal.
ana The pleasant associations of just
one month will soon have passed away.
and the Institute of 1901 will exist only
in memory.
The many friends we have MADE
among the one hundred students and
teachers in this grand body will soon
be separated by distance. We hope to
be reunited at frequent intervals dur
ing the coming school year in the ca
pacity of teachers associations. These
will be great help to every one and
all and we should eDdeavOr to do our
part in making each and everyone a
grand success. The association will be
organized during this week, so that no
time will be lost. A committee con
sisting of Lloyd Davis, Miss Ray Nix
on and Miss Rumsey. was appointed
to look up the by laws and constitution
of the association.
The ball game between the Medicine
Lodge team and the normal team, re-
suited in victory for the normal boys.

Words to Abraham" was the best Sc
lection of the evening. The other Sc

and Mr.. Hennessy had whole literary
by himself. If he ever comes within
hearing distance of Medicine Lodge
crowd, we are sure he will have a full
house. We regret that he was sick

recite Sucking cider through straw. ="

eddy was just little warm and was
trying to find a cool place. He did not
find it and when Mr.. Jacoby introduced
him in chapel, as the "Inimmtable, -
he leisurely rose to his feet and said it
was too warm to make speech. He
wished to have an electric fan on his

here when he visited us three years
ago. Mr.. Jacoby said it must have
been because it lit on the same spot.
He turned to Mr.. JacOby and asked
him who was making that speech; and
told him he had better 60 home and
take something, about teaspoonful,
and shake well before using. He then
asked Mr.. Shepardson where he was in
his speech and he couldn't tell HIM.
He then told Mr.. Shepardson that be

of the same stuff. He kept us laugh
ing for about twenty minutes. and then
retired. We all enjoy hearing Prof.
John Mcdonald and although he never
laughs he furnishes plenty of laughing
material for others.

had, we have requested him to give it.
