We are glad to note that Coach
Fergerson is going to run things
on schedule time for the baseball
boys. It is worth a Jot to a
bunch of fellows to know that
they have a game ahead on a cer-
tain date. Regardless of the
amount of coaching and training
a fellow receives, if he is picked
up just in time and told that
there is a game to be played, he
cannot play the game as good as
he could if he had known that it
was coming for some time. |
It seems that the Normal has
hard luck on this schedule busi-
ness. During the football season
we did not know what we were
going to play next, more than
half the time. This was not due
to the fault of the management,
but due to broken dates. We
either could not get games or
something wTould come about to
cause one we had to be broken.
We hope that Mr. Fergerson is
able to carry out his planned
schedule without having to break
a single date or being unable to
secure games.
Why is it that when a student
comes to the Normal he does not
at once drop the support he had
for his last attended school and
give it to Normal? Due to such
conditions as these is the very
reason why there is not found
as great a school spirit in the
Normals as there is in other in-
stitutions. It is a sad state of
affairs, but true, that we now
have pupils in this school that
are more loyal to other schools of
this town than they are to the
Normal. Not only a few indi-
viduals know this to be true but
many, and THEY know those
students that hold this attitude.
Is there any chance for a stu-
dent of that attitude to make a
position on a regular football,
basketball or baseball team? Not
the least bit in the world! If
they did they wTould fail to do
their part in a contest between
the two schools. Either that, or
they would be likely to say to the
Coach that they could not “play
against” a certain school “for I
went there last year.”
We, loyal students claim that
such a student as that should
not be allowed to play in prac-
tice with the bunch that is to
represent this school in any con-
tests whatever. , We stand for
the NORMAL, NORMAL, all the
time NORMAL!
FRESHMEN
Unusual interest was displayed
last week in the meeting held by
the Freshmen. After a stirring
speech by Mr. O’Neil, the Fresh-
men Pedagogue Editor, advo-
cating the need of assistance in
writing the accomplishments of
the Freshmen class for the Ped-
agogue, two assistants were
elected to aid in the work.
With an editor and two as-
sistants like the ones the class
has, the Freshmen expect to
make a good showing in the an-
nual. Ye classes of higher rank
will have to get up and go some
if you expect to keep up with the
FRESHMEN OF THIS SCHOOL!
IT ISN’T THE SCHOOL—IT’S YOU
If you want to be in the kind of
a school
Like the kind of a school you
like,
You needn’t slip your clothes in
a grip
And start on a long, long hike;
You’ll only find what you left
behind
For there’s nothing that’s
really new;
It’s a knock at yourself when
you knock your school—
It isn’t the school—it’s you!
Fergerson (in English)—“Mr.
R-, what is the nature of
Johnson’s constitution when he
was a young man?”
Mr. R.—“He was strong phy-
sically, but I don’t know much
about his constitution.’
A big supply of tenis shoes on
