The Coconino sun., 1923-06-29

The OF saying that a rolling stone
gathers no moss does not apply theo
retically to the gathering of news for
The Sun. For in our strolls about
the school rooms, dormitories and
cottages, we find that conditions are
apparently in settled state. The
axiom. There is little confusion. All
the rooms in the main building have
been remembered. More chairs have
been resuscitated back into a useful
life. Everybody is working hard. The
library is full all the time. It hasn't
been necessary to place the/S. r. 0.
sign out yet. You do not see couples
indifferently walking about the cam
pus. Special interest is manifest in
the DR.. 6. w. Willett, Dr. l.. H. Eby
and Dr. B. w. Woods classes in the
university section. As we travel about
and mingle with the many students,
let us pause a moment to confirm and,
yes, to reiterate, few Introductory
remarks of Pres. McMullen in pre-
Senting Lewis Rockow, professor of
history and economics of the normal
school, to the student body. Mr. Nc
Mullen said that Prof. Rockow was
200 per cent full of history We want
to say he is 500 per cent history and
500 per cent more history. The writ
er of this column is member of
Prof. Rockow's class, and in no way
is he influenced in making these few
remarks other than he is amazed at
the mans thorough knowledge of his
subject. and the clear and concise
manner in which he presents it to the
class.
Great activity has manifested itself
on the campus during the past two
weeks. Teams have been hauling dirt,
cinders and rock. The cement layers
have layed more sidewalks about the
training school. A fine bird bath has
been built over the old engine foun-
dationsof the laundry, which formerly
occupied this site. 1t is said that
plans are under way for lily pond
in the triangle and for fine malpai
rock pillar bearing a plate which shall
show to tourists that this is the place
in northern Arizona where teachers
are trained.
Work is rapidly progressing on
the new athletic field, and it is re-
ported that the track will be finished
by tomorrow. The erection of the
goal posts and the enclosure for the
tennis courts will be completed later.
There are hundreds of commuters
going to and from school each day.
Congested traffic during the school
hours makes it imperative for all mo-
torists to park their cars on the out
side of the road. 'Keep to the Right"
signs have been conveniently placed
around the grounds. License plates
show cars from every county in the
state are here.
One of Prof. Keuzenkamp's classes.
in manual arts are putting their theo-
retical knowledge to practical use.
The class is busy drawing plans for a
dairy barn which is to be erected
about a. quarter of a mile south of
the main dining hall. 1t is hoped that
the necessary materials will arrive
shortly so the actual construction Of
the building can begin. The barn will
be large enough to quarter IL mich
cows, stalls for horses, storage rooms,
hay loft, living rooms for the hired
help. 1t will be steam heated and
electrically lighted.
1--WE are not going into the whole
sale dairy business" President Nc
Mullen said, "but we hope to be able
to supply all the students of Flagstaff
Normal, and the young people of the
training school who are undernourish
ed with fresh, wholesome milk at a
minimum cost to the school,"
1t is reported that the barn will be
completed by the end of the ten-week
summer session.
Cooperating with Prof. Keuzen-
kan in this project is George Wal
ters of Flagstaff, who is giving the.
class practical lessons in carpentry.
The members of the class are: Jack
Angus, Miami, instructor; Joe G. Nor
gan, Eloy; E. Hart, Wilcox; Roy H.
McFate, Flagstaff; Jessie Dean, u. S
/. S.; Geo. APPEL, Flagstaff; VIM. As
hurst, Cherry; Clyde Hinton, Phoenix.
The Normal schools cafeteria is be-
ing operated to the advantage of those
who do not live on the campus. 1t is
one of the factors for reducing the
cost of living for the school people
while in Flagstaff. The cafeteria was
established last year. 1t is under the
capable management of Miss Florence
Berchtold, professor of household sci
ence at the normal.
The quality of the food is of the
highest order. The kitchen is modern
in every respect and the whole plant
is strictly sanitary. The dining room
is light and pleasant. Practically all
