Normal Notes

+ : 3 = : Z : =
Our new wings" are sprouting :
we can most see them grow!
New students are already beginning
to come. Some enrolled this week.
The first baseball game of the season
has been scheduled for next Wednesday
with the High School team.
A dozen and half w. K. S. n. pen
nants received by one of the students
were quickly disposed of last week, the
demand greatly exceeding the supply.
Signs of Spring: The Normal boats
have been launched, baseball replacing
basketball, and the student swinging
a golf club or tennis racket is an ev-
eryday sight.
Baseball practise is now occurring dali
ly in order to put our teams in the best
of trim for the summer contests. 1t is
probable that at least two good teams
will be secured
Two entertainments are billed for the
Auditorium next week. Tuesday even
ing The Polmatier Sisters; Thursday,
the 5th number of the Lecture course
by Dent Atkinson, lecturer.
Forty thousand (S4O, O00) dollars for
north and south wings to the MAIN
building. Twenty thousand $3.50, O0G)
dollars per year for maintenance for
the next two years! My, that looks
good to US!
Prof. Picken's advice to keep off
the grass is well taken. If we are
to have pretty lawn on which to feast
the tired eye in the hot months stu
dents will need to observe this rule.
The following new students enrolled
at the Normal Tuesday:
Maude Custer of Quinter, Everett Ell
lis of Plainville A large enrolment
is looked for at the opening of the
Spring term, Monday, April l.
Murray Wallace, a member of the
''Stalwarts'', groupe of half dozen
young men so designated by Prof Pick
en-, was treated to an icy bath in Big
Creek on Monday on account of truan-
cy in the triumphant march, through
the city. Now will he be good?
A scene from Grip Van Wrinkle,
which was rendered by the Model school
students at the Book Talk last Thurs
day week was repeated at the Normal
Monday morning. Frank Hoagland as
rip took his part well and in fact
the entire cast deserve credit for their
acting.
In ali probability several additions
will be made to the faculty at the be-
ginning of the new year this fall. AS
matters now stand it is likely that Miss
Keller will give her time exclusively to
Model School work, while Prof. Bird in |
Business Department and Prof Kent |
in the Sciences will be relieved of the |
extra work they are now carrying in
the afternoons. This is a much needed |
change and the students as we'll as the
professors will profit by it.

The Sisters as musical organiza-
ton deserve all the praise music low
ing public can extend''.
Should these talented and gifted

them.
.'The young ladies are undoubtedly
the most clever band of musicians that

1.-The company at once charms it's
audience with its overtures, waltzes and
other selections. Each number was
followed by the greatest enthusiasm. -
The concert last night gave splendid
satisfaction. Composed of finished nu-
sicians both with voice and instruments
every number being enthusiastically
encored -
THE entertainment was unquestion-
ably one of the rarest treats our music

sical treat. From the opening number
to the close of the program it was one
ro7nd of enjoyable surprises.
