1926 NORMAL OFFERING for occupancy. We have faith that the return to a normal status will not leave our now eageiqschool spirit smouldering and inactive. YVe want it active, always active. An inactive spirit can do little good. The year is waning, graduation, the both sorrowful and joyful time of year, will be soon upon us. Some of us will return to seek the protection of the school for another year. Many of us are loath to grow up. VVe beg not to be chide:l,- for we are all really young in mind who do not choose to become old. Others of us must go out into the field of life to care for those placed under us. Still others are coming into the school to begin pr-eparation for one of the noblest professions, -that of teaching. That those going out to take up their duties as teachers may' instill into their pupils the same spirit of loyalty to school, country, and God which they themselves have tried so hard to profess here at Normal, is the wish of those whohave trained them for their chosen career in life. That those coming into the school may realize our desire for true school spirit, is the wish of all in the school. HELENA REDDY. Oblivion Defeated The years are passing, passing by, and lives are passing with them, Naughtseems our days to number more, or the tide of life to stem. 'We leave behind us all our treasures to help our sons and TOHOXV-l'Il9ll, That they may use and profit by them and happier be in their life-span. When we have gathered knowledge, things, the greatest treasures of them all, That are to money, wealth and pleasures. like a king before his thrall. 'Tis then we have the thought of future and the help that we may will mankind And how they'll hark back to our living, and say a great and generous mind. But comfort not when you have willed the things of earth to those behind, Great Mother Nature may seize it from them and your name lost to all mankind. Nature levels all our mountains, and ei-ofles the greatest stones, So do not rest and think that safely resting, will lie even your very bones. But leave behind a spirit and a will to carry through, And though your tomb disintegrate, your work will follow you: And though your body lies unmarked, and now unknown at last, Your spirit will like a beacon shine, a light f1'1llll out of the past.
