NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES

their brothers from the east. 1t was
a swatfest from the first stanZa to
the last chapter. Normal got away
nicely with a three run lead. In the
fourth frame, with the bases full,
"Hoddy" Stevens, the shiek, connect
ed with one of Lees fast ones, and,
brother, we are here to tell you it
was the sweetest thump in our recoi-
lection. This made the third homer
for the shiek this season. HQlbrook
retaliated bravely in the foufth and
fifth stanzas in an attempt to even
up the score. Costly errors by the
Lumberjacks, rather than good clean
hitting, made Holbrook look like a
real contender for a while. oh!
sweet daddy, how those Normalites
murdered the ball in the seventh
and eighth frames.
Artistically, it was no game for the
world to honor in song or story, but
it was a combat of continuous ex-
element, and what do the galleries
care if the affair isn't neat, if it is
nifty?
Lynn Camp was on the mound
thru the nine stanzas and pitched
excellent ball. He famed three gen
tlemen in the opening frame. His
total strike-outs for the first three
games are 25, which is quite an
achievement in itself, if not a record
in schoolboy annals.
Thornton held down the initial
corner like an old-timer. Buster is
better than six feet tall, has a good
reach and is exceptionally fast. He
also has a keen eye at the plate.
Here's the score by innings. Read
'em and laugh out loud: Holbrook,
000350020-10; N. A. N. S., 30062279-
20. Batteries, Lee and Koury; Camp
and Johnson; Umpire, Carlson.
Like the optimist who always walks
the streets with his head down look
ing for the roll of $1,000 bills, the
writer is hunting for a logical rea
son why Captain "Swede" Johnson,
the white topped leader of the N. A.
N. S. baseball nine, becomes so elu-
sive when We try to shake him down
for an interview This is "Swede's"
first year at the Normal but he has
made himself so pat with the boys
by his likable and winning ways
that he was selected to lead this
years nine without a vote cast
behind the bat He is an intelligent
The schedule for baseball at N. A.
N. S. is still in the making, or rath-
er, we should say, has not been made
up. The Lumberjacks have turned
in three victories in as many starts
this season, and should they contin-
ue to win, we see no reason why
they shouldn't make it interesting
for some of the Valley schools.
The Toy Sale was a success be-
yond the highest expectations. The
proceeds amounted to over a hum
dred dollars. The children have al
ready decided how they will spend
their money The kindergarteners
are going to buy canary a white rab
bit, and some tennis shoes; the first
graders want tennis shoes, also; the
second-graders wish coping saw
blades and lumber; the upper grades
all concluded to spend their share
in improving the training school
grounds.
Spring has come, and with it, the
urge of the outdoors; and as appear
ances speak for themselves the
faculty has answered the call of the
wild. 1t is with the kind of response
that makes the automobile sales
mans heart beat in tune with the
songs of the little birds in the tree
tops. For everywhere new and
shiny cars are beginning to park
themselves along the drives of the
campus and, of course, the lucky
owners are enjoying unrivaled pop
uIarity. Then the unsOphisticated
students who will one day be teach
ers, look forward to the joys of ped
agogy, and apply themselves with
added zeal. However, let it be said
that we heard one mercenary should
remark, "Bennice to Miss Platz and
chance for ride to town."

known as Mans Concert Party,
