Live To Your Upmost And Your Best THE ORIOLE A Genius Creates, Talent Merely Copies. Vol. 2-No. 1 SEPTEMBER, 1922 Published Monthly by Students of the Maryland State Normal School, Towson, Md OUR IDEA OF BLISSFUL BREAKFASTING PRESIDENT OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT WELCOMES NEW STUDENTS. It certainly is a great pleasure to welcome so many old members and such a large number of new members into the Student Government Organization. Of course you all understand that when you enroll at Maryland State Normal School, you automatically become a member of our Student Organization, There arc, no doubt, many of you who know very little, if anything, about our Student Government. Our Organization is not run by an obscure Student Body, neither is it managed by the Faculty. It is managed through the co-operation of Faculty and Student Body. We are proud of the interest which is shown by the Faculty in our Organization and their advice and help has been most valuable and necessary in the life of our Organization. Because of our Student Government we have many privileges and much freedom which otherwise we could not have. During the coming year I shall expect each member to co-operate and work for the success of the Student Government. HELEN COX. LOGICAL. Isabel, aged nine, had just been told the story of Daniel in the lion’s den. Then mother asked: “And what do you think Daniel did the very first thing after he was saved from the lions?’’ Without much hesitation, Isabel replied: “Why, he must have telephoned home to his wife to tell her he was all right.” WHAT STUDENT GOVERNMENT MEANS. What does the name Student Government mean to you and you and you? Ask yourself that question. Dees it mean much thought and consideration for every one concerned? Student Government should have a definite place in the life of every student, for every student is a member. Before an organization can he a success, each member should be thoroughly in sympathy with the organization and live up to its standards. Boost it every day. Girls and boys — ’here is your opportunity for school spirit and hearty co-operation. Do not miss it. Student Government at Normal is young, but that is all the more reason why we should give it our support and help to mold its growth m a wholesome, whole-hearted way. It is an organization headed and conducted by the students and advised by members of the faculty. Student Government has for its purpose, self-government- on the part of each student, based on the Honor System. It also aims to make our school and dormitory community a better place in which to live. Through this organization we try to make ouri school and its members the very best to be found by maintaining high standards of living. This year we hope to make Normal a better and happier place to live through a higher and better spirit of co-operation and loyalty on the part of each student. “Honesty and Loyalty” is our motto. Can you live up to it? Surely you can and you are going to. Every girl and every boy. We are depending on you to help us realize our hopes. ETHEL JONES. A GOOD JOKE ON ME. When I was a little girl living in Baltimore, my grandmother came to visit us. Mother entertained a few friends in her honor. Several days later one of the ladies called, and upon seeing her coming down the street I ran to meet her. “Grandmother and mother are out,” I said. “I am sorry,” said she. “I came to pay my party call.” “That’s all right," I said, “I’ll take the money."
