250%.    The first part of the evening
was   spent   in   athletic   events.    The
men were divided into groups as they
entered and captains were chosen for
each side.   Much pep and enthusiasm
was displaye'd in the rope climbing,
basketball contests, game of tenpins,
boxing,    and    other    games.    After
about an hour of violent exercise the
fellows  were  glad  to sit down  and
enjoy   a   short   program   under     the
direction of Kurrle.    This  consisted
of songs    and  speeches    by Boener,
North, and Beach.   It was suggested
that   the   Y.   organize   a   basketball
team.    Favorable    action was taken
immediately   and   a   committee     appointed to get plans under way.   The
remainder of the meeting was taken
over by  the  refreshment committee
and  all  were served with cider and
doughnuts.

Parlor C on the ballroom floor of
the Statler Hotel in Detroit thronged
with Central Normal  alumni Thursday   when   the   sixty-eighth   annual
meeting    of    the    Michigan    Sttate
Teachers'    Association    convened  at
that   city.     Headquarters    for    the
state's    colleges    and normal  school
were at the Statler.   This year Central   by   previous   arrangement   was
enabled to have her alumni meet in
a separate room above the mezzanu.e
floor. Miss Adrian, of the Normal office force,   helped  to   register      the
'ncoming alumni  and supplied them
with tickets for the banquet.  Members   of   the   faculty   were   on   hand
early to welcome Central's old grads.
Parlor   C   made   an   ideal  meeting
place  for faculty  and  alumni.    The
room  was  large  enough for convenient   moving   about   and    yet   small
enough to be cozy and homelike. Maroon and gold pennants and banners
were hung    about    the  comfortable
chamber and helped to give  a Central Normal   atmosphere.    But    the
most    noticeable    thing    about    the
meeting was the fine spirit manifested by the alumni body.   Enthusiasm

CHARLES   T.   GRAWN
Formerly   President of   the Central
Normal School
STUDENT STAFF
READY FOR WORK
Feeling that the recently appointed
student staff members of the "Central Normal Life" are quite capable
of bringing out properly the school
publication, the consultation board
consisting Of Mr. Miller, Miss Burt,
and Mr. Robinson have already given
the young venturers into journalism
instructions on how to proceed in
tbe work. Much of this copy prepared for the printer was written by
the staff members. In a few weeks
the staff will be doing practically all
the necessary work.
EARN CREDITS BY CORRESPONDENCE-SEND FOR FOLDER
high. President .and faculty were
again and again congratulated for
the growth of the school in attendance and in many other wayis.
All day long alumni poured into
headquarters to be greeted by the
faculty and to renew acquaintances
with classmates. Miss Adrian was
kept busy supplying registration
cards and banquet tickets. The
number of alumni was made up for
the most part of the more recent
graduates but there were also many
old grads, men and women prominent in the world's business. A placard at the entrance to headquarters indicated that members of one
of the former sororities would meet
for luncheon.
Central    Normal's    alumni-faculty
banquet Thursday    evening    in    the
banquet    room    of    the    Woodward
Avenue   Baptist   Church   was   characterized by pep from the informal
get-together  at  the beginning  until
the last speech  at    the    end.    The
banquet was planned for 5:00 o'clock
but did not begin until 5:30. Faculty
and alumni  spent  the  half  hour  in
renewing  acquaintances.    The informal visiting was  a pleasure to  the
faculty members and  to the alumni
body.    Faces fairly beamed when   a
sight was caught of some old friend
or   acqaintance.     Arrangements   h*4
been made to take care of 350 persons but alumni and faculty responded so well that a number of places
had to be re-set.    Never before was
there displayed a finer spirit of loyalty to the old school or a more enthusiastic   relationship   between   the
faculty and the graduate body.
After the informal visiting the*
alumni and the faculty repaired to
the banquet room which they found
beautifully decorated. Orange was
the prevailing color scheme. The
long tables had artistically arranged
on them marigolds and strips of orange crepe paper. The dinner wu.'.>
served in three courses and between
courses old Normal songs brought
back memories of college days. Professor Powers directed the singing.
After the excellent and well prepared meal, the banqueters arranged
themselves comfortably in their
chairs and made ready to listen to the
toasts of the evening.
