 Miss Mildred Fowler, is the
 daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. l..
 Fowler. of Nogales, has finish
 ed enough of the work in the Normal to graduate next year
 She IS q member of the staff of the school paper. "The Student
 and like many another is in love with the study of English. She 1 is an enthusiastic gymnasium i worker, and enjoys the social | functions of the school greatly. In March the Normal enter tained the members of the Le-
 gislature, at a banquet, seating the students and the members
 of a county at the same table.
 Senator J. A. Harrison, with
 Representative Harry J. Saxon
 and wife were with the Santa
 Cruz bunch. Both were called
 upon to speak. Harry Saxon is
 known as the most original man
 in the House of Representatives,
 as he never did say and do
 things like any one else, and
 when he spoke, only when he
 felt that he might clear up mat
 terS. did he enter the arena of
 speech. All expected and got ideas new and old with dresses on they had never seen them wear. Harry'S vOca bulary is tinctured with his life on the range, but it came as a refresh | ing breeze in the many turmoils | of the House. Senator Harrison | is a stauch supporter of the State schools and worked as did | every one for the appro priations that keep them going Uo manufacture citizens for the State
 Santa Cruz students are as glad to go home as were the members Of the Legislature, yet in memory they will often see the beautiful campus, with it's green velvety carpet, it's pro- fusion of flowers, and old shade 5rees. Often when they get to- gether during the summer they will talk over days spent in the title city of Tempe lying on the south side of the big Salt River, which for centuries flowed the desert in compar- Ltive uSeleSSnesS, until man turned it's waters upon the land low it blossoms as the rose, and he future men and women will hardly believe that Tempe grounds and surrounding coun- ! ry was once a real desert.
 We speak of the Normal as z 'eing old, but though it was the 7 york of the territorial LegiSla- r ure that established the school . or the state, it was only 1885, V nd In 1886 the school first open 1 d it's doors for pupils. This i ear saw 337, in the Normal de- T. 'artment proper and 183 in the f raining department those in f he training department are pu- il ills of the public school of Tenn f, e, varying from first primary n 9 the eighth grade pupils h his year fifty two graduates re- a eive their diplomas, which IT 1akes 535 that the school has Q onferred since it became a Y. chool. Of this 535 students of ', he Tempe Normal. holding life VI ertiticates, not one got his or T, CT diploma without having 2 aught one hour a day for a year I Ii' l the training school. Each c esson taught by the teacher in " " is prepared, and the n Ian submitted to an inspector, q f critic, and if no fault is found 4, le lesson is presented, to the s, lass. otherwise, the plan must cr e corrected and re submitted +l efore taught. o
 What girl leaving Tempe will a ger forget her sleeping porch, a ith it's rows and rows of white fl on beds-the upper and lower G; OrcheS are screened in, en- Ii 'ance being through the halls si on within the dormitories, tc hile heavy curtains are in " eadineSS in case of rain to be fl rOpped. Visiting the school ot was given room opening out " pOn one of these porches. A W ght met my eyes never before V, zen on getting up in the night in , look at the moon, for no place tl
 the world is the moon so be- ef 1tiful as in Arizona, and forgot dt } look at, because within range u my vision were beds and beds, st Othing but little iron beds in nc lp middle of each was q roll of
