NORMAL WALKS TO VICTORY—IN
NINTH INNING MAKES THREE
WINNING SCORES, AND
SHUT OUT CORONAL
Coronal Meets Defeat on Own Field
With Team in Best of Playing
Condition
Monday afternoon, March 27,
on the Coronal athletic held, the
Normal easily took a victory
from Coronal in spite of the fact
that the Coronalites were saying
“We’ll win this game or die.” In
the first part of the game the
Normal boys gave their pitcher
very poor support in the field
but in the ninth covered up the
bad playing by bagging every
pill that came their way. Thru
out the game neither team
played “real baseball” as the
score will indicate. Deviney was
very weak at the beginning, but
as the game progressed grew
stronger while Coors of Coronal
became weaker and was replaced
by Jamar in the eight.
The story of the game goes
something like this: Normal at
the bat—Mayhew and Russell
easily got to second and third;
Shelton followed with a two bag-
ger and Peabody pulled a little
bunt that put the score 3-0. Cor-
onal then took the bat and iqade
three scores, twTo of which were
due to errors. In the second
Coronal added four to the three
and Normal became uneasy
enough to make another in the
third. Neither team scored in
the fourth and Coronal made two
in the fifth.
The sixth, as usual, was some
inning! With two men on bases
Lloyd pulled a home run, making
the score nine to six for Coronal.
When Coronal came to the bat
Jamar lost the ball for a clean
home run which was Coronal’s
last score. In the seventh Nor-
mal picked up enough to add an-
other score. Coronal then re-
placed Coors with Jamar who
proved to be as easily hit as the
former. Mayhew got a hit and
tied the score. With the score
10-10 at the beginning of the
ninth the three bases were filled.
A wild throw by the pitcher
scored Normal one ahead. De-
viney then got a heavy two bag-
ger thus making Normal’s last
tally and the final score 18-10.
With all the cheers and “We’ll
win this game or die” (Well—
their pep did die) Coronal failed
to get a man any further than
first base when they needed a
score so bad.
Batteries: Coronal; Coors, Ja-
mar Cone. Normal; Deviney,
Lloyd.

SOPHOMORE WILL
We, the Sophs, of 1916, now
that our days are numbered, we
do not mentally feel suited to the
task of “Will Making” on account
of many and frequent contests
with the Seniors and Juniors,
and also because of many cases
of heart trouble, and being de-
sirious of adjusting all our old
affairs and accounts before we
fade from this mortal earth, do
make and publish this, our will
and testament in order that we
may distribute our interests in
the school among succeeding
class mates.
To our teachers, we wish to
extend our thanks and gratitude
for the interest shown in us
during the entire year.
To our succeeding class mates
we will the following:
First. We leave James Mc-
Bride the position as class presi-
dent, promising much initiative
to conduct their affairs.
Second. We leave with them
the great desired middle section
in chapel.
Third. We leave with them
our vacant seats and rooms,
hoping that they will till them as
nearly as their superior class
did.
In this last will we do bequeath
to our on-coming class mates,
the beaming knowledge of Carrol
Cowan unto Mr. Van Roeder.
Unto Mr. Laniere, we do be-
stow the position as “yell” lead-
er, whose past experience has
proven him to be the man for
the place.
We do begrudgingly leave El-
bert Shelton’s half moon grin to
Jack Arnold.
Unto Marvin Hall we do will
the unusual collection of texts of
Mr. Partlow’s. Use them Mar-
vin, they will do you good.
We do leave with great regret,
the glossy curls of Mr. Hays,
unto Phil McGee—“May they
ever remain black.”
We, the class of 1916, do will
and bequeath Mr. Thompson’s
brass horn to Mr. McKay, the
great musician.
Unto Mr O’Neil, Mr. Beard’s
position as Pedagogue editor is
given with much grief.
Roselle Ramsey bequeath her
brilliant answers in English, to
Mattie Stricklin. Use it Mattie,
it is valuable in Mr. Harrison’s
class.
Thru the spirit of generosity
we do leave Bell Smith’s good
looks to the Freshmen girls as a
fitting vaneer.
As a token of philanthropy
Bertha Hand rick does here by
leave unto “Carrol Wilson” her
brilliancy and all the love of her
class mates.
Signed this day March 27,1916.

A LITTLE “FISH” VISITS THE DIME
MUSEUM
A lady teacher of the Normal
on whose face deep lines had
traced the words “old without
age” walked about in a dime
museum leading a “Fish.”
“Hoo wee!” the “Fish” ex-
claimed, “look there!”
“That’s the fat woman.”
“What made her so fat?”
“I don’t know.”
“Eating so much?”
"I don’t know, I tell you.”
“Will you ever be fat like that?”
“I hope not.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t want to be
so fat.”
“Does it hurt?”
“No, I think not.”
“Then why don’t you wTant to
be so fat?”
“Hush.”
“Why?”
“If you don’t hush I’ll take
you out of here.”
"Do you have to pay to go
out?”
“No.”
“But you had to pay to come
in didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Why don’t you have to pay to
go out?”
“If you don’t hush this very
minute I’ll spank you when we
get home. You trifling little ras-
cal, you annoy me almost to
death.”
After a short silence. “Teach-
er, what’s annoy?’'
“Bother.”
“What’s bother?”
“Are you going to hush?”
Turning fiercely upon him.
“O, what’s that?”
“That’s the Circassian lady.”
“What’s the matter with her
hair?”
“Nothing; it’s natural.”
“How natural?”
“It was always that way.”
“When she was a little teity
baby?”
“Gracious Alive, no.”
“Then how could she be that
way always?”
She took hold of his ear. “Ouch,
