NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES

4 Registration day for the winter
4 quarter brought out many new faces
4 and we are far from annoyed at the
4 presence among them of a goodly
4 crew of promient Flagstaff citizens
Mrs. f. E. Browning, Mrs. Tom Rees.
/ Mrs. Chas Isham, Mrs. Joe Rickel
i Mrs. j. p Wilson, Mrs Robert Cree
and Mrs. Andy Samsky are duly en-
rolled and struggling under Miss
4 Payne's supervision in the betterment
of their domieiliary genius.
Other townspeople among our num-
! Der are Mrs. Roy McFate, Mrs. w. III.
I Norman and Clyde Etter, regular nor
mai school course; Mrs. Henry AlbeTs,
\ Mrs. Carolyn Smith and Bernadette
Moritz, commerce; Mrs. Ana Froh-
miller, Spanish; Miss Ardelle Switzer,
/ mancal arts; Robert Riordan, Donald
La Rue and Frank Herbert White
house, regular high school course.
The new out-0f-toWn students en-
rolled in the regular two-year normal
course are Helen Carpenter, Wicken-
burg; Mrs. Nellie DAILY, Tubac; Ruth
Moody, Youngsberg; Milton Stone,
Albuquerque; Harry Stevens, Douglas;
Ina Petersen, st. Joseph; Thora Rog-
ers, Snowflake; Grace Wightman,
Globe; Mrs. Jerry McGaugh, Phoenix;
Mrs. Laura Hopper, Camp Verde;
Pratt Udall, Eagar. Mrs. McGaugh,
who has had one year Of work at
Tempe normal school and has attend
ed several library schools, comes to us
from the Phoenix public library. Miss
Moody has had a years work at the
University of Arizona.
The enrolment thus far surpasses
all previous records, and Mr.. McMule
len looks forward to 1928 as a banner
year in the way of achievements. We
join him unreservedly in this hope,
too, for we are gradually but doggedly
imbibing some Of the "1et's al get to-
gether" spirit to which we are fortun-
ateiy exposed.
Coach Drake has all kinds of aspir-
ations for the basketball season. What
he tells US of the material to be had
in both our old and new players is
enough to make us ambitious of the
future, and to warrant the judiciously
planned training table" at the dining
hall. There are 20 girls out for bas-
ketball this quarter, which number
compares brayely with that Of the
boys. Both teams are being chosen
this week, and it is rumored that the
boys and girls will play ''double-head-
err games throughout the season.
Anyway, they are making note
worthy and dual entrance into the lists
this evening at Holbrook and tomor
row at Winslow.
We have learned the whereabouts of
several of our Christmas seniors.
Misses Jennie Crosse and Ruby Low
tiki hold teaching positions in Wick
enburg and Winslow respectively; EN-
ma Eclel, who had started teaching
at Prescott, is now suffering from a
sudden attack of pneumonia Budette
Roarl is teaching near hingman.
Miss Beatrice Hicks, of the class
Of 1919, spent Christmas vacation in
Flagstaff visiting friends. Miss Fayl
Lawhead, '21, has resigned her posi-
ton as teacher ii the Winslow schools
and has gone to Clarl1dale to resume
her pedagogical career Madelinei
Fairchild, a graduate Of 1922, has al
SO resigned in Winslow and is living
at home in Flagstaff.
That the high altitude of Flagstaff
does no harm to respective lungs of
the school is shown by the fact that, |
soon after the opening Of the fall
quarter, the great need Of new song
books for chapel singing was aclmow-
lodged. After several months of in
vestigation, Mr.. Ridgely= recommended
'"The Assembly Hymn and Song Col
lection" The student body is antic
ipating working from them and also
the probability of giving several of
the choruses during commencement |
week, in June.
The entire music department is
booming, figuratively as well as lit
orally. Aspirants for piano instruc-
ton are so numerous that Miss Whet- /
sci is still tied up in planning sched-
cles. The class in sight-reading and
threatens to call for an ex-
tention to the room, and any proxim- I
ity to the main building will assure
you of the existence of many ardent /
and striving violinists.
Our dramatic club, which was or
ganized at the beginning of last quar-
ter, has something, like 81 members
now. It meets every Wednesday night I
and the prospective topic for study
and discussion is the coaching of high I
school and community entertainments.
For while in the fall the club was
extinct, as far as some of US were
but it later proved itself
worth its humble existence by its dra-
Of six Cups Of Chocolate
and an appealing version Of "The Ma
tivity." The organization itself will
not produce any play for the public
this quarter, but will turn the honor
of advertising our dramatic skill over
to the junior class. This junior play
will undoubtedly become a winter
quarter tradition,
Due to serious illness, Helen Mar
tin, student here during the past
quarter, left Wednesday morning for
her home in Duncan. Miss Martin
