Entered at the Chico Postoffice as Sec .nd-Class Matter
CHICO,  CALIFORNIA,   JUNE,   1899.
The end of the term is drawing near, and
all the thousand hopes and fears, joys and
sorrows, ambitious and good intentions,
which make up sehool life are nearly done
with. Preparations are being made for
Commencement, and every one is looking
forward to the summer vacation for rest and
enjoyment. Our students are talking of the
north, south, east, west, far away Siskiyou—in fact, all those places which are
designated by the comprehensive title
"Home," and in a few short weeks the Normal will be like a deserted bee hive or an
ancient mansion haunted by the ghosts of
other days
The visit from three of the Normal School
Trustees caused quite a sensation in school
not long ago. The speeches from them were
thoroughly enjoyed,' and especially that remark by Mr. Ryan that OUR school was the
first Normal in the State. Hurrah! for Mr.
Ryan!
The class colors are very striking, and
suggestive. However it shows character
and good old-fashioned taste to take that
combination, and the "old" is always better
than the new. How the Seniors do enjoy
their liberties! But "every dog has his day'"
so just have patience.
BASE-ball has had a great impetus lately,
some very interesting games having been
played on the Normal Campus, and in other
places. Although the boys were beaten in
their last game, their ardor has been kept
up by the generous donation of bats and balls
made them by the citizens of the town.
We are glad to see in our midst many of
the alumni. Among those who have recently visited us are:
Roy Birch, S. Brown, Miss Nason, Clare
Garoutte, Hallie Hallet, Margaret Collins,
Virgie Wright, Belle Mansfield, Irene Smith,
Ethel Bryan, Mae Bennett, Galen Cummings
and wife (nee Miss Stineman), Annie C. Swain,
Angelina Potter, Rhoda Kemp, Margaret
Strouse, Isabelle Ames, Lillian Earll.
In Memoriam.
It again becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of one who until a short time
ago was in our midst.
Emma Gertrude Rose was born at Gridley,
Butte County, Cal. Oct. 26, 1882. In September, 1897, she entered the Normal, and
by her sweet disposition and gentle manner
soon made herself the friend of all teachers
and pupils with whom she came in contact.
Owing to a gradual decline she was compelled in October of last term to give up her
school work and seek for rest in health and
quiet. This proved of no avail and slowly
her soul passed away, reaching the farther
shore of the Silent River June 1st. 1899.
She was a patient little sufferer, an affectionate sister and daughter, and besides her
father, mother and sister she leaves to mourn
her loss a host of friends.
We know she has gone to the worli above
Where sorrow and care never come
Surrounded by ang Is of ioy and love
She waits to beckon and welcome us home.
