NORMAL
The Schools Fourteenth Year Cole
brated by Students and Faculty

Springfeld-Just fourteen years ago
South Dakota founded its Normal
school at Springfield. Last week, the
faculty celebrated this fact by oppro-
pirate ceremonies. The day was 81 en-
as a holiday and in the afternoon on
the gridiron the football team, under
Prof. Hopes efficient coaching, de-
feated the Santee Indians by a score
of Is to 3. The game was played un-
der the new football rules and was
highly interesting to the enthusiastic
crowd on the side lines. The SPRING
field team has several of it's players OF
last year and so%ne good new timber.
Considering that it is still early in the
season, the team Is in good condition.
Other games are scheduled fer the
near future and a successful season is
ant cipated.
The eliminating event of the day
was the evening reception given To-
the students by the members of the
faculty. Under the new electric lights
at the dormitory, came the youths
and maidens arrayed In their best.
After the usual formalities were over.
a short program was given. Miss
Clara Hinsdell, the new and efficient
instructor in piano and vocal music,
sang two solos and Miss Katherine
Finley, the new violin teacher, render
ed two very pleasing solos. Prof. H..
II. ~Goodenough sang in tie faculty
quartette and also lang q solo. Presi-
lent G. G. Wenzloff, who has been so
successful in the management of the
school, spoke q few words in his own
characteristic way about the past and
future of the school. After the pro-
gram and a drawing game, the stu
dents were conducted to the dining
hall, where light refreshm0ts were
served by the faculty. The rooms
were art stically decorated for the oc-
casion.
Altogether Springfield is showing a
fine advance. A good increase of
students. a dormitory filled to its ut
mos capacity, excepting the guest
room. and a dining room almost
crowded all speak OF the popularity of
the school. A spirit of enthusiasm
prevails and must school and class
spirit Is manifested.
During the summe many improve
ments have been made in the class
rooms, library and dormitory n also
in the general appearance OF the
lawns. A new cemen sidewalk now
connects with the town walk. Plans
are on foot to finish the upper story
of the dormitory and a new science
hall is much needed. The large nun
Der of music students has necessitated
the purchase OF a new piano.
South Dakota may we'll be proud OF
Springfield Normal school as ore ~
several fine state institutions and the
Springfield citizens are fully appre-
ciative of the advantage of having the
normal In their midst.

Weaver was formerly boarder at
the home of his wife's mother, at No.

he remained there as a boarder. and
the marriage became known to the
mother only when she heard the cou.
pie jangling.
The marriage took place In July,

Weaver had posed with another wo-
man for pictures that would hardly be
suitable TO place In the family album.
Witnesses were produced to swear
they had seen pictures OF this charac-

were unable to identify Weaver as the
