FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1903,
NORMAL NOTES.

Ask Mr.. Nation how to spell asylum.
How many want TO try the new
breakfast food Paul Browning is
about to introduce?
A few had TO be aroused to answer
to roll call at general exercises We'd
nesday morning.
Only four members in the General
History class, one Of the most inter
esting In the Normal
Merritt Stuart was heard to remark
that the Normal had lost is charm
since there was not Beam(er) for
him.
Although Mr.. Coombs could not at
tend the reunion. he managed TO
maintain his reputation OF taking The
most girls home.
We notice some of the teachers
have the habit of Looping over the
desks when they rise TO recite. A
poor example TO set before pupils.
Prof. Register complains that his
chances are poorer than ever since
Supt. Payne spoke Of the divorce from
his first wife III such a public manner.
Prof. Huffman's correct use of the
phrase "who knows" was matter for
discussion ia the grammar class.
Thus it is we learn Uy cuutacts with
broader minds.
1t is rumored that Mr. Newall was
trying TO get some one to relieve him
of two or three OF the girls with whom
he was seen driving. before next Sun
day. Those who know him doubt it.
Prof. Risdon's faculty of remember
ing things must have developed early
from the manner lin which he des-
cribes the visit Of the grasShoppers
which occurred the first year he came
TO Kansas.
The base ball enthusiasts met Tues.
day in Prof. Huff mans room and or
gahized by electing W. Il. Register
temporary chairman and WI. Newell
permanent chairman. Alfred Hard
ing was elected manager and Ella
Craig captain, The boys VIII go i'm
mediately to work ana ia few days
challenge the faculty.
The annual reception given to the
VI
grand success. The opening number
Of the program, an address by Sup.
Payne, was well received by the audi
ence and given a hearty encore 10
which Mr.. Payne responded intermit
tently during the entire evening.
The duett and solos by Misses Staples
and Emerson were very highly appre-
ciated. The recitatiOns by Mr. De-
trick and iss Hall furnished amuse
mentand were enjoyed by all. Next
came the toast by the faculty and re-
sponse'by the students. Prof Huffman
gave the toast, LAS we see you" The
central thought was, Don't hold hands
when any one is looking. The re-
spouse given by Mrs. Harding showed
the instructors plainly the light 10
when we see them. She SAID they
are all good men morally. bright men
intellectually and all kinds Of men
physically. Mr.. Register knows all,
Mr.. Huffman knows more, Mr.. Rlsdon
knows the most. Mr.. Payne as much
asall Of them put together.
Mr.. ROyster handled the subject.
1.-THE Fair Normaiten In a character
istic manner aud showed plainly that
he is a master hand not only in toast
ing the fair Nurmalite, but can take
care "the fair" in the same mastery,
though dignitied manner. His main
thought was undertake great things
and verify thou shalt be blest. The
response by Miss Bertha House SAVIOR
ed very strongly of, Now honey come
play in our back yard, don't mind
what Mr.. Register says" She gave
some timely advice which we believe
will cause matters to assume a differ
ent aspect socially.
Prof. Risdon then made a speech
carrying US TO the stars through Oil iii
cuties, going off into flights Of oratory
which even the most admlring had
scarcely thought him capable. His
leading thought was, Be professional,
be business like in your dealings,
don't talk too much and say nothing
but good of your fellow teacher
After a gentle reprimand to the sly
yonng man and few words Of com
mendation to the faithful, refresh
ments were served and thestme hon.
ored promenade participated in by :
few NJ the more daring.
