We are withjmu Mr. Wilson,
While war clouds tug and roll
And electrical messages flash
Your valor from pole to pole.
We are with you Mr. Wilson,
Till the Germans refuse to
fight;
Till the world is arrayed in
splendor
And the war-clouds are lost
from sight.
We are with you Mr. Wilson,
From North, South, East and
West
We feel the “pull” of your
courage
And have no fear for the rest.
We are with you Mr. Wilson,
And wav dowm deep in our
heart
There’s a jumping, thumping
feeling
Not made by “Cupid’s Dart.”
We are with you Mr. Wilson,
With you, heart and hand
We salute the “Star SpangleC*
Banner”
Nov/ floating or’e out land.
We are ready Mr. Wilson,
If you’ll only let us know;
Ready to join the fracus
“Ready and raring to go.”

Shakespeare Society.
The Shakespeare Society met
in regular session Saturday.
Instead of holding the meet-
ing in the club room we all
went to the Fish Hatchery. A
very enjoyable program was
held under the trees, after
which refreshments were
served. The regular meet-
ing which was to be held on
the 21st of April was postponed
to the following week on ac-
count of the debates.

“Is dis where dey wants a
boy?”
• “It is, but it must be a boy
who never lies, swears, or uses
slang.”
“Well, me brudder’s a deaf-
mute. I’ll send him around.”
First Normal girl (at the ball
game) : “Oh, isn’t that great,
we have a man on every base.”
Her friend (seeing her first
game) : “That’s nothingT so
have they.”
Red Cross Society Organized.
At the instigation of Miss
Gaines and Mrs. Scott a Red
Cross Societv has been orga-
nized in the Normal. At pres-
ent there are something like
,seventy-five members. Tues-
day morning the “would be
nurses” dressed in uniform and
sang America in chapel. It
will be impossible for the so-
ciety to begin training before
the summer session but every
girl in school should express
her willingness to help by
joining this organization. The
“nurses” expect to make ^
fine showing in the Loyalty
parade Wednesday.
