ELLENSBURG-, WASHINGTON, MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1917 No. T "Robin Hood Meets Will Scarlet in the Forest." (By Sixth Grade.)1 Thus they traveled the sunny road Three abreast along they strode So broad their shoulders—so sturdy their gait They looked as if they could with­ stand eight. And as they walked on the broad road, They saw a stream that merrily flowed Thus Robin, Little John and Arthur adressed "Yonder's a fountain and a place to rest." As they lay there in the shade, Said Robini looking down the glade "There's a gaily feathered stranger Forsooth he is no forest ranger." They witched the stranger the glade comedown "Now" quoth Robin, ' I'll crack his crown. Ye two lads wait here for me, I'll make his head, hum like a bee." The stranger came, sniffing arose, Clad in scarlet from head to toes. "Hold" quoth Robin, "stand where thou art." "Nay, to stop me is not thy part." Quoth Robin, 'A gatherer of tolls am I, Pay thou thy toll or pass not by Methinks, mayhap thy purse is . fat, Therefore, sweet chuck, deliver me that." But the- other who stood in Sher­ wood's glade Drew forth a sword with a shin­ ing blade. "It grieves me much" said the stranger sadly, "I fear I must slay thee by Saint Hadley!" "Get thee a cudgeol from the oaken tree, Said Robin, "I'll take on advantage of thee." So the stranger plucked a tree with care, And with his sword he stripped it bare. This way and that they fought to and fro, Till Robin fell 'neath the stranger's blow. "Hold!" quoth Robin, "I yield to thee—• Thou hast palsied my arm by thy blow struck me." Out burst the others from the glade, Oh good master, dost need our aid? . "A plague on thine" cries Robin Hood, And turned to the stranger Where he stood. "Good fellow, what : may be thy name?" "Gramwell, from MaxfieldJ town 1 came And now, my fellows, strong and good, I Art thou acquainted with Robin' Hood?" Cried Robin, "Dost thfcu know me Will? What brought you here, be it good or ill?" "Art thou mine uncle?" cried the other. "I am," said Robin," thy mother's brother." "A saucy fellow was'our cook— By a box 'o the ears his life I took, I slapped the varlet on the head— And would'st believe it—the man is dead." "I am right glad to see you, Will, Thou had'st a right the varlet to kill. But thou must change thy name— say I, Henceforth—Will' Scarlet shialt thou go by." "Now" quoth Robin "wilt join our bands?" "Yes," cried Will, "and here's my hand. "Then well end this day with merry feast, And thou hast been christened without a priest." Will Give Parts of Robin Hood. The pupils of the sixth grade of the training school will present scenes from the story of Robin Hood, Friday, March 23, at 3:30 p. m. in V the Normal auditorium. The program will be: Part I. Robin Hood gathers his This was not written by any one child but is a cooperative class poem. THE MARCH WIND. By Henry Swartwood. (Fifth Grade.) March wind came rushing down the street, And knocked me nearly off my feet. It grabbed my hat and away did go And dropped it in the mud and snow. Then on it rushed with gust and sweep, And made the leaves to dance and leap. Around the corner it gayly went, As merrily on some mischief bent. It took a boy's kite up so hi^h, I thot it nearly touched the ski. Rushing round the house of Mrs. Cline, It swept the clothes from off the line. It scattered the clouds that threaten ­ ed rain Then off to the hills with a shriek and groan, And on and on to the north wind's throne. How Vand. Scene I.—Robin Hood's adventure with Little John. /.• Scene II.—Robin Hood's adven­ ture with Will Scarlet. Part n. How Robin outwits the sheriff. Scene I.—The sheriff serves a warrant upon Robin Hood. Scene II.—The sheriff proclaims a shooting match. Scene III.—Robin Hood turns B ntcher. Part in. Robin Hood meets King Richard. The dramatization has been the verjlt of work done in the English and reading classes, b^th ai-tion and conversation having been arranged by the children themselves under the guidance of the teacher. The purpose of the play is to earn money for the purchase of a postcard projector for use in his­ tory, geography, and English work. —H. H. "MIKE." Our president owns a doggie, That to us has grown quite dear, He is regular in attendance, Every day thruout the year. He wears a coat of red brown silk Of stature he is not small. Is often seen with stately mein, Going up or down l&e hall. He talks a "wig wag" language, Rather hard to understand, For its different from the wig wag, Most in use thruout the land. Most unlike that use at present By a coast life-saving crew, Only that a single movement May also mean a line or two. He has never read the Bible, Tho he seems to think it's creed, For he gazes at his master, Reverently as tho he said— "Entreat me not to leave thee, Nor to cease from following after thee, Where thou goest, I will go Where thou lodgest, I will lodge, Thy people shall be my people, And thy job, my job." Z. M. B. "DRAMATICS." ( With apologies to Eugene Fields.) Parody on "The Night Wind." Did you ever hear the girls do— "a-e-i-o-u?" 'Tis a pittiful sound to hear. It seems to chill you through and through With a strange and speechless fear. 'Tis the voice of the girls who dill outside After folks have had their sleep. And many and many a one has cried Of those voices brooding far and wide Over the tracks and steep— "What is that noise, that upncanny sound That chills you through and through?" Then the voices would say in that gostly way, "a-e-i-o-u" "a-e-i-o-u" "a-e-i-o-u." Miss Davidson told them not long ago (At a private conference she had) Wt jhey ought to practice • dramatic so, Whether the weather was good or bad. And then when breakfast is over And a little time left before school With furs drawn up around their heads They follow out what their teacher had said While accompanied by wailings of Rover. And, "What's that noise?" again we ask, Of the wind that hoarsely blew, And those voices would say, in that awful way "a-e-i-o-u" "a-e-i-o-u" "a-e-i-o-u." That this is true we must allow You'd never believe it though. Yes, though they're quiet like models now. They are not always so, And if you doubt what things I say, Suppose you make the test. Suppose when you have time some day, And about 8 a. m. can steal up this way. From teachers and the rest,— Then soon you'll ask, "what is that voice?" And then you'll hear what's true, For the voices will moan in their ruefullest tone "a-e-i-o-u" "a-e-i-o-u" "a-e-i-o-u." —Z. M B. A r ••••• •. -f ' •v.'--'- .3^"- r~': '•Ao-'-'.' .

The Normal this year has turned out a basketball team to be proud of, not because they were success­ ful, because they were not, but be­ cause they laid a better founda­ tion for the athletics of the Normal than has any team in years. Not only has a good feeling in an ath­ letic way been created, or advanced, hut a feeling of friendliness toward the school promoted. Our men have really represented the Normal on their trips, and have done nothing to pull down the stan­ dards and many thing to lift them. No team which our team has played say ourt team is a "bum jbuntiji of sports." Only in very few instances can it be said that any man on the team has ever played "dirty" or foul­ ed intentionally. High schools and clubs which we have played have gotten a true im­ pression of the school. Some high schools and people outside think the Normal is a "sissy" institution. If that idea has been prevalent the team has corrected it. • Seniors Disagree. The Seniors had a class meeting the other day and had a disagree­ ment too, over the graduation ap­ parel. Some wanted to look digni­ fied and therefore wanted caps and gowns—and some wanted to look natural, so they convinced those who wanted to wear the black robes which designate scholarship, that it wasn't the thing to do. Any how there was some scrap. Just ask Elmer Eidel and, Mrs. Randall. Prosser Defeats Normal. The Normal team last Friday night were defeated by the Prosser Athletic Club. The score was 38-26. The Normal men played a good stiff game the first half the score be­ ing 8-10 at the end of the half in favor of Prosser. Our team waa met at the train and showed to a hotel, later we were taken through the high school building. We had a royal good time while we were there and the Prosser men showed us they are good sports. During the game there was no crabbing on either side and many clean baskets wer.e made by eabh side, from hard shooting positions. The Normal team was: Campbell and Green, forwards Beck, center Eaton and White, guards Jensen and Crewdson, utility. . —L. B. TRAINING SCHOOL Harriet Hubbart. Training School Defeats "Y." The training school boys defeated the Y. M. C. A. intermediates in. the Normal gymnasium Wednesday night. "Y" led at the end of the first half by a score of 12-8. The second half the training school boys got warmed up and each fellow came through with some good stiff playing, and in mighty good form slipped the ball through the bask­ et enough to ring up the score of 21-16 in favor of the training school boys. Ray Green is coach of the team and showed his skill | as a coach by putting , out a win­ ning team. The training school boys were: Jeans and Cummins, forwards Van Alstine, center Cooke and Kelley, guards. . ' Referee, Jim Campbell.

I guess she didn't want to have me Mussin' up her nice clean floor She knew you'd be to p'lite to tell me To go and not come back no more. Ain't is funny, Mrs. Johnson How folks don't want their kids at home?

ASSEMBLY By FRED SMITH February 28, Mr. Draper called the attention of the students to a check that has been reposing on the bulletin board for months unclaim­ ed. This check was given to Flynn unsigned and at the time unnotic­ ed by a Normal student Mr. Flynn claims. Mr. Draper also gave some advise to the attention of the check book. He said that there were a large number that could not write out a check correctly for. their board bill. March 8, Mr. Stephens announc­ ed that something was about to be explained that should have bean explained 100 years ago, so he in­ troduced Mr. Draper, who interpret­ ed the millage tax for higher edu­ cation in this state. The three Normal's share is 1.55 mills, and the W- S. N. S. share is .104. Mem­ bers of the upper grades in the Nor­ mal training school were present at this assembly were present. After Mr. Draper talked, Eva Ma- bry took charge of a booster meec- ing for the play "Lady Ursula" which is to be given at the Liberty theatre Friday, March 16. Mem­ bers of the cast and officers in charge were called on to speak. The speakers were, Kate Killman, Anne Pratt, Isabel Hofman,- Miss Rankin, Mary Pakenham, Betty Butler, Mar­ guerite Snyder, Jean Lee, Minnie Lee, Anne Yenney, L. D. Sparks and Edith Peck. The assembly ended with nine Rahs for Miss Davidson, who has direction of the play. March 1, Mr. Stevens gave every one a chance to tell what they want­ ed to take next quarter. From these suggestions the coarses for the fourth quarter will be planned. Mr. Stevens has been making known his method of recording the % character of the students. This meth­ od is time saving and to the point, it partly consits of a number of words written on a crad, such-as, shy, well liked, goudy, bone head., nutty, pin-headted, etc. etc. When 'asked what he meant by pin-head he replied" a small head that heats quickly and can not carry the cur­ rent. March 5, Marguerite Foster gave a reading. The first number was "Sisterly Scheme" and was very vig­ orously applauded and appreciated so for an encore she gave "In Blos­ som Time." March 7, Mr. Stevens was back just bulging with news from the state capital. He was very much per­ turbed over the fact that lie had "sold" a car load of teachers to various county superintendents who were meeting in Olympia, and now he must look around and find those that can fill those places. Mr. Stevens claims that he was very much interested and excited Hear Ye! "The Adventure of Lady Ursula" will be given at the Liberty theatre on Friday evening March 16, and s to be one of the biggest events on the Normal program for the year. The play was v/ritten by Anthony Hope and the costumes have been designed and so cleverly worked put by the girl's in charge of whom Corliss Agnew is chairman, that they will almost hit the top-notch of perfection and are entirely typ­ ical of the period which they will represent. The best talent of the school will be displayed as is seen by the ap­ pearance in the caste of Isabelle Hoffman playing the part of "Lady Ursula" and Kathryn Killman .{as "Sir George Sylvester" the leading man. Ann Pratt and Betty Butler also have strong parts and appear to excellent advantage in them. . It is hardly necessary to say the play is most cleverly written and excep­ tionally interesting and the girls have put forth a great deal of hard- work to give the public a rattling good play next week. An additional feature • will be the musicial numbers between acts which will be in charge of Anne Yenny. The prices will be only 50c and 35c for students—So everybody out! —E. M.
