This week end will see one of the
biggest dances that Nornsl has had
1 for a long time. Somebody pipes up
i and says that isn't saying much--well,
/ you wait and see.
Five hundred invitations have been
/ sent out to the friends of the Normal
In Flagstaff and other towns of this
end Of the state The dance is under
/ the auspices of the business staff of
La Cuesta, Normals we'll known year
book. Louise Switzer, business man
| ager, has been working hard and in
dications point to fine large eve-
ming. The hall will be decorated to
represent large parlor, with floor
lamps and divans. The program in
cludes several entertainment features
as we'll as the usual dancing. Music
is under the direction of "Brick"
Stone. Brick" will have four-piece
orchestra, two pieces of which will
come from Winslow. Funds will be
turned over to the annual, which, by
the way, will be the largest, best or
ganized and best-written year book
that Normal has ever put out. This
La Cuesta Frolic," as the dance is
officially known, will aid materially
in financing some of the cuts that will
go into it.
1t was announced officially in The
Pine a few weeks ago that Normal
was to participate in a survey that
was to be made of the northern coun-
ties by the state board of education.
Bad weather set in and the affair was
postponed. The nice weather of late
has been very favorable for this kind
of work with the result that several
of our faculty members and student
teachers left Monday morning to be-
gin it. r. r. Powers, mathematics
critic, will survey the schools of Mo
have county. Miss Lamb, fourth
grade critic, with two student teach
ers will take Apache county. Miss
Lutz, kindergarten critics, and Miss
Pragst, second grade critics, will COW
er Navajo county. Tests will be given
in the first, fifth and eighth grades.
Certain tests will also be given in the
high schools. The surveyors will not
return till the end of the week.
Last Friday morning students were
entertained in assembly by the second
grade of the training school. These
clever little youngsters presented a
dramatization Of the fairy story of
Hop o. My Thumb. They made a big
hit.
President McMullen, Mrs. McMul-
len, Miss Dewey of English depart
ment, and Mr.. Ridgely and Miss
Whetsel both Of the department of |
music, left February 8 for short |
educational tour of Mohave and Yav-
apai counties. Programs will be
presented at Kingman, Oatman and
Ashfork.
Jake Bracker, capable editor of The
Pine, our student publication, was
forced to make a trip to Prescott for
his health. Jake has made a real pa
per of The Pine and we hope he will
soon be with us again.
Emily Hamilton, popular student
who was at Normal last quarter, got
to Flagstaff just in time to see the
Prescott boys game Friday night. She
drove IN with Mrs. Robinson OF Leupp.
Emily says she's having a great time
teaching Indians.
The faculty committee on student
will hold an important
meeting on Friday afternoon. Mr.. r.
G. Stevenson is rapidly pushing
through the work being done on the
annual. Much advertising space has
been contracted for and the advance
book sale is making much headway.
Lucille Jones, from Mayer, who had
been living at Sunset apartments, was
taken i'll and forced to drop her
school work. Her parents, accompan-
led by Mrs. Nellis of Mayer, motored
to Flagstaff and took her home. Lu-
cille plans to take correspondence
work and finish school that way.
