WHO nave edTHeu ltIIcTS tiilS year, WoS' postponed on account of number of the students being ill.
 The "N mems" dance is one of the regular features of the school calen- dar and popular one not only with the students and faculty, but all the Flagstaff people who are interested in the Normal affairs. A definite date will be again set in the near future and everyone will have just as good a time as had the original date been observed.
 Eleven football men and six basket ball girls are to receive sweaters with letters this year. The style and color is left to a vote of the "N" men and women. Last year they were black with gold letters, the football coIors. It is probable they will be the same this year though some are talk ing of the advisability of getting white sweaters with gold letters, the school colors.
 President McMullen left Wednes- day with his mother for Chicago, to attend the international meeting of Normal school presidents. His mother goes on to her home in Indiana. The president will probably return to Flag staff about March 6.
 Miss Bernice Maxwell has been i'll for the past week, but is rapidly inn proving and will soon be able to re- turn to her classes.
 On the 18th, the Normal basket ball team played the Holbrook high team at Holbrook. The Normal won by 34 to 8. The following day after 50 mile auto ride the Normal played and lost at St. Johns. The score, St Johns 3S, Normal "A. St. Johns has no doubt the strongest team in the state. This is the closest game they have played for several years as they usually make from two to ten times as many points as their opponents. They are scheduled to play in Flag staff in the near future and the Nor nal has hopes of making the score closer or even beating them here. This was the first game the Normal has had with St. Johns for about five years.
 Last Saturday the Normal fellows played at Winslow and lost. The score Winslow 23, Normal 19. Wins low also beat the Kingman team about a week before and Holbrook beat Kingman the day before that.
 Sunday, the Normal team accom- panied by MT. Drake returned to Flagstaff after their four days tour. MT. Drake was quite sick while Tn Winslow and completely collapsed when he arrived here. The following day the boys, very tired and worn from their strenuous trip and hard playing, began getting sick. Those who went on the trip were Jack San ford, Jesse Gregg, Roland and John Hamblin, George Anderson and Mel win Yaeger and John Marine. Jesse Gregg and Melvin. Yaeger were the first to recuperate and are up. The others are still confined to their beds.
 Mrs. R. H. Drake, whose illness made it necessary that she be carried to the Mercy hospital about three weeks ago, returned to Taylor Hall last Tuesday looking and feeling much better than when she left. It is hoped by the Normalites that the Drake family will soon recuperate and take their places in their classes and school activities.
 Last Friday afternoon the most in- teresting, exciting and comical affair of the year took place in Ashurst auditorium Gn the form of a basket ball game between the faculty of the Normal and the girls championship team. For several months the pros poets of this game being played were commented upon by the whole campus and after the long delay the faculty suddenly surprised everyone by set ting an immediate date for it. It was no doubt the largest crowd that ever turned out for a basket ball game here.
 For the faculty president McMullen played running center, he and Miss Alberta Platz being the faculty stars. The presidents suit, or better, cos tune, won first prize. He wore white bloomers, a white middy blouse with red sailor tie, the loveliest stockings and hat. His complexion though some of the gossips said it was overdone, most every one thought was lovely. Miss Lattimer won second place for costume and Miss Lintz third. All were so very good that these three were chosen after a great deal of dis cussion and deep thinking. Miss Walsh and Miss Berchtold showed
