NORMAL STUDENTS FIND PLEASURE IN
 ATHLETIC SPORTS

Athletics have a great part in school activities, and at the Tempe Normal they are encouraged in every way possible. Basketball, track, baseball and tennis are popular in their respective seasons, and facul- ty and students alike are looking for ward to the time when football, dis continued recently because of the small enrolment of boys, can be re- stunned.
 Athletics at the school are popular alike with both the men and girl students. Every year there is girls basketball team, and most of the girls of the school are ardent tennis fans. The boys, in addition to their sports, have military train ing as an exercise and shooting as game.
 At the normal athletic sports are encouraged as means of pleasant recreation, for their value in devel- oping the body, as a source of social and ethical culture, and as cultivat- ing the spirit of cooperative enter prise so essential to individuals throughout life. Through the me- dium of the various sports, each student has an opportunity not only to develop his own body while train Ing ms mlnO, put 10 learn now 10 work with a group as a unit
 Athletics has attained such success and has assumed so much impor- tance in this institution that the board of education has deemed it ex- pedient to place all athletics in charge of man especially qualified for this work While the students are encouraged to participate in at i least one branch of athletics, such | participation is held subordinate to the educational work of the institu- tion. Students deficient in studies, irregular in attendance or unsatis- | factory in department are not per- mitted to represent the normal school as members of its athletic teams.
 Until two years ago football was one of the most popular sports at the
 normal, but the small enrolment of men made it necessary to discontinue
 it. Now it is the earnest hope of everyone connected with the school
 that it can be revived and the high record of past teams maintained. If l possible an eleven will be organized

The Tempe Normal School

November during the week of the State Teachers association This meeting was devoted to a revival of school spirit and the organization of a plan for raising an alumni fund for the purpose of assisting worthy students to secure an education in the Tempe Normal school. This work has resulted in uniting the interests of the members to such an extent that their object is succeeding be- yond their most sanguine expecta- tions. considering the unfavorable fi- nancial conditions confronting most Of the members at the present time.
 Another commendable undertaking and one which is nearly completed is the compilation of an alumni reg 1ster showing the present location and occupation of all graduates of the institution. When completed it is to be published in connection with views of the buildings and grounds of the Normal school and a copy will be forwarded to every member of the Alumni association.

BY DIR. A. J. MATTHEWS President, Tempe Normal School

The history of the Tempe Normal school is a greater factor in the his tory of Arizona than many of the people of the state fully realize. It was founded in 1885 and was the
 first educational institution estab- lIshed in the state Since that time the school has progressed steadily along the lines of teacher training
 as it's fundamental object, though many have been graduated from the high school courses and other spe- ciai courses in the curriculum.
 The schools alumni number all most l,200. 1.122 of whom have been
 graduated from the professional
 course. nearly all of whom have
 sxrxht in the public schools of the ~. many of them having grown r-nI in that important service. Sew ara, sons and daughters of the early graduates have graduated from the Normal and few of the children ot
 such graduates. grandchildren of the Normal. are now attending the train inr school. Many of the alumni are |occupying important position in thu administration of the affeirs of tht state and of the nation; are prom fnent in the professions and bushes: offices of the state; and all of then are resoecsed citizens of the com n,unities in which they reside.
 This institution recognizes that iti | v.roDrest support and influence ar' l Idependent upon the interest and sue res~ -,f its graduates and that sucl in rnks ksce Is most potent when or | ganfzed in such a manner as to SC cure at least an annual gatherini of the alumni forces.

Normal school must present certi- fled abstract of work done in their high school course. They must show the character of the work done, as we'll as the number of weeks devot ed to each subject and the number of hours work per week. This ab- stract may be forwarded with the students application for entrance, or it may be presented at the time of registration. In no case should the filing of this abstract be delayed for more than thirty days after the time of registration Students who are unable to furnish an abstract of pre- paratory work will be required to pass such examination as the faculty may prescribe in each individual case.
 Admission for high school grad. uates: The two } ear teachers course is open to graduates from high schools maintaing a regular full four year course and conforming to the aca- demic requirements of the Normal school. These two year courses are designed to quai.fy teachers either for work in the grades or for work as special teachers or supervisors. Graduates from these teachers courses receive a diploma which en- titles them to teach during life in the public schools of Arizona, Cali fornia and other states, and which is generally accepted for from one and a half to two years credit upon a university or college course.
 Admission. to advanced standing: Applicants for advanced standing in the Normal school must convince the faculty that their preparation for any particular subject has been suf- ficiently thorough to enable them to pursue it profitably. This prepara- tion may be shown either by an ex- animation, by class records in the Normal school, or by the certificate of accredited schools. All such ap- plicants must file an abstract of pre- vious work as explained above.
 Admission to high school courses: Students who have completed two years of high school work may com plete their high school course at the Tempe Normal school. They will be admitted upon presentation or a sa,
 isfactory abstract of previous work as explained above. It is suggested that those who intend to teach will find it to their advantage to complete their high school course under the direction of the Normal school where they will come into close association with educational ideals even before entering the training courses
 Time of admission: Students will find it greatly to their advantage to enter the Normal school at the be- ginning of a semester. but they will be admitted any time by special ar engagement of work.

than ever this year.
 Baseball, known as rhe national pastime. is perhaps the one most em- phasized at Tempe Normal sclo ol, and one in which the school never fails to make a creditaole showing. This past year the team won IT out of 19 games played. One of the de- feats was a ten-inning contest with the strong University Of Arizona team. The normal IS fortunate in having one of the best baseball dia- monds in the state. It IS convenient ly located on the campus and is pro- vided with a grandstand which seats a large number of specta DTS.
 Eleven good hard clay tennis courts have been provided on the normal campus, and are kept in the best shape. Each evening and quite often in the mornings many students may be seen playing. Interclass contests are arranged each year as well as contests with the faculty and o-her schools.
 All in all everything is being done to encourage and induce all students to take part in some outdoor oXer- else. It is quite true that the best students are among those to be found on the athletic field.

New Dining 6au reature The one outstanding improvement at Tempe Normal this year is the new dining hall just completed which will begin operation with the open ing of classes. The dining hall is one of the best in the country in ar ranrement and equipment and will se&Xe5o persons at it's tables.
 r$e completion of the dining hall Is not the only preparation which has been made for the start of the term The 12 buildings which com pose the educational plant have been improved by vanishing and paint ing and similar work. The roofs of several of the buildings have been painted New equipment has been added in many class rooms and on the <ormars demonstration farm ad- joining the campus a new cottage has been constructed.

 administrative officers.
 The NormaI's History
 The history of the Tempe Normal school began fin 1885. when the ter rstorial legislature passed an act ere atinK it. The same legislature au- thorized tha founding of the state university at Tucson. Credit for the Normal school idea is givan to Charles Trumbull Hayden. Father of Tempe and the bill making it's fulfillment possible was actively pushed by Assemblyman J. D. Arm strong
 Though authorized about the same time as the university. the Tempe Normal began its work five years before the other institution was op- erating. the first regular term at the university opening in 1891. The Nor maj school began it's first year ir l 1SSs. and the following year graduat- l ed its first class. composed of si1 l students.

TEMPE \ FORTUNATE
 SELECTION AS SITE .FOR NORMAL SCHOOL

Tempe, the site of the State Nor nal school, may claim the distinc- ton of being as old as its neighbor Phoenix, and one of the old towns of the state. It was founded in 1871 when Capt. Jack Swilling turned from his canal construction on the north side of the river and Joined other pioneers in building the Tempe canal One of the first settlers and the first business man was Charles Trumbull Hayden. father of Con- gressman Carl Hayden.
 The settlement at first was known as Hayden's Ferry. but about 1879 Tempe began to be used. It is as- stunned 1t was named by Darrell Dup pa. the Lord Duppa" of pioneer fame, after the romantic vale of Tempe in Greece.
 Tempe lies on the Salt river and at the foot of Tempe butte. which rises 300 feet above the town One of its chief advantages Is the cli- mate, typical of the entire valley, which proves an attraction of im- portance in many cases. The warm winters also are a factor in athlet- ics and field excursions. as activities can be carried on throughout the year.
 The town owes its selection as the Normal school site to chance rather than to any understanding of its now obvious favorable points. The legis- lature of 1885, which created the Tempe Normal, also gave Tucson the state university, Phoenix the state hospital and Prescott the state cap ital on a district patronage system.
 Location has proven an aid in the success of the Normal school, as Tempe is near the center of popula- ton. It is served by the Arizona Eastern railroad, affording connec- ton with the Southern Pacific, and by motor stages which ply between Phoenix and the school town. thus connecting it with the Santa Fe sys- ! tenn Tempe may be reached from nearly any point in the state within less than a day, an item worth con- sidering when there Is a brief va | cation.
 In the view of many educators the size of the town is another advantage 1 for the Normal, since there are few distractions. The social environment is all that could be desired. The l people of the community are actively interested in the school and assist the students in every way possible.
 The surrounding country afford: many attractions for the students who enjoy being in the open. There are many points to which hikes ars made. such as Papago Park, and fol 1 longer trips, Granite Reef is a pop ular destination. And if there i. need of going to the city, Phoenix 1: | but half an hours ride away.

I232 Graduates Since 1887 Is
 Normal Record

In it's 35 years of work the Tempe Normal school has ae- complished a record of which the state may we'll be proud. Its graduates, from 1887 to 1921, num- per 1,232, of which 1,137 were professional and 109 high school students. Ninety-five students made up last springs class. Hun dreds of teachers in this state are alumni, of the Normal.
 Like other normal schools, the Tempe institution has many more women than men among its stu dents. Last year there were 52 men and 236 girls taking the Nor nal course, and the ratio this year probably will be about the same.

MARKS PERFORMS
MANY HEROIC DEEDS

Peter Marks of Sugar City did he=
oric work last Saturday afternoon
and night, rescuing people from the
trees in the vicinity of the atubhs
ranch south of Olney Springs. He
took out seventeen people, the most
of whom would have perlshed before
morning. He risked his life in doing
this work, and performed one of the
most heoric deeds probably done any
where during the flood period.
Marks is an expert with boat,
and he went out into the river where
the waters were raging and swift cur
rents flowing to save those in the
trees. One place where ten persons
were recovered there were two falls,
one above the trees and another be-
low. He had to make the fifth att
tmpt before he could get his boat to
the trees. Four times the boat shot
thru the currents and missed the
trees, but he kept trying and the fifth
time landed. Harry Able had his
boat and with others rendered a
great deal of assistance to Marks in
his work of risking his life to save
others.
