AT LITERARY SOCIETIES OBSERVE ARBOR DAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUSTOM SERVICE MEN REMEMBERED Last Friday the literary clubs joined by the training school children held their annual Arbor Day celebration. The clubs gathered in the auditorium with their pennants and colors flying. Each club gave its songs and yells and other stunts. Then marching two by two the clubs and the training school children went to their respective plots on the campus, where a half an hour was spent in tending club trees and shrubs and setting out new ones. When this was done, all the clubs gathered about the Service Tree, a big-leaf maple, which was set out a year ago as a memorial for the students of the school who gave their lives in the great war. Dr. Nash gave an impressive talk, expressing appreciation of the sacrifice which these students made. He said that in time there will be placed beside the Service Tree a stone tablet bearing the names of all the students of the Normal who gave their lives in the great war. Those names which will be included on the tablet are: Louis Gloman, Edward Altaian, Albert Emery, Herman Udenberg and Jeanette Barrows, a Red Cross worker. Following Dr. Nash's talk everyone joined in singing the school song, " The Blue and White," and then dispersed. This custom of celebrating Arbor Day by the joint meeting of the clubs was originated by the Ohiyesa Club. This club plans and leads in. the program. The clubs which took part on the program this year were the Ohiyesa, the Alkisiah, the Philomathean and the Ale-theian. MRS. FLORENCE M.

M. TWO HUNDRED MAKE TRIP By the narrow and semeingly unbelievably margin of twenty-two hundredths of one per cent the Senior Class won the Herald Marathon trophy cup last Saturday. In the final.count it was found that 126 Juniors, or 41.14 per cent of their entire enrollment, reached the summit and 61 Seniors, or 41.36 per cent, thereby giving the cup to them. Only seven faculty members were able to make this strenuous hike. Several groups started a little after midnight in order to be among the first to the top. Elwyn Bugge, Arthur Bowsher and Kenneth Selby succeeded in " outclimbing" other groups on the trail and reached the top first and signed up at 1 A. M. Groups left the Normal at all hours of the day, the last group signing at the top at 4:55 P. M. One hundred thirty Juniors, sixty Seniors and seven faculty members signed the book during the day. Some did not stop at the top, but went on back to the meadows, Freygang and Lost Lakes. These are beautiful trips and no one can afford to miss them. If you did not go on the Marathon, plan a hike in the near future. VISITORS SPEAK AT Y W. C. T. U. AND SETTLEMENT WORKERS TELL OF THEIR EXPERIENCES The Monday morning assembly was a very interesting one. The first speaker was Miss Charlotte Hammond, who is a representative of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She attributed the success of the present day prohibition law to the work of the teachers in the public- schools of America, whose work for the past twenty-five or thirty years has been most noble. She said the work of the teachers of (Continued on page 2.) • f YOUR LAST CHANCE You must write that Humorous Poem this week if you would win that $10
