history of the Class of 1908. On September 10, 1005, a band of Pilgrims landed in the Principal ' s office at the Clarion State Normal School to take up the duties of a new school life. Some came with the determination to continue the work for three years and some expecting to remain but one year. On the day that the class organized as the Junior Class of 1906, William Mayes was elected President, Rena Pottorf Treasurer, Mabel Love Vice-President, and Grace Knapp, Sec- retary. Later owing to Mr. Mayes having to leave school, Howard Farwell was elected as the President. The work of the Junior year passed along very smooth- ly. The first time that the Class of 1908 came to the notice of the public was during the spring term when they gave theii reception to the Faculty and students. All of the details wei-e arranged so well and every part of the evening ' s entertainment was carried out so well that everyone was enthusiastic with l)raises for the Juniors. The next important event for the class was the State Board examinations. All that were recommended by the fac- ulty passed them successfully. On September 4, 1906, after a delightful vacation, many of the class returned to continue the Normal work. Some of the familiar faces were not seen, and several new ones joined the ranks. The Class was re-organized as the Middle Year Class, with the same officers. During the winter term the class entertained the fac- ulty and students by giving a Washington Birthday party. Two of the class dressed in quaint old costumes representing Mr. and Mrs. George Washington, were at the door of Sky Parlor to welcome the guests. The year sliijped by and we again face the State Board. To make a long story short, we all passed. As for our dear olcl red and white, they were the first to welcome the breeze on Seminary Hall. During this year the class presented a beau- tiful picture to the school for in the History recreation room. This was the beginning of a movement which was followed by the Class of 1909, and it is hoped that the classes to come will do the same. acation over once more, September 10, 1907, found us liack for work. Two familiar faces did not return, but a num- ber of new ones were added. All those that realized that their best interests rested with the Class of ' 08 returned. The Class soon re-organized as the Senior Class and the following officers were elected. President, H. M. Farwell; Vice-Presi- dent, Francis E. Mahey; Secretary, M. Grace Knapp; Treas- urer, Mary George. One of the events of the fall term was the field meet- Although the results of the day were somewhat against the ' 08-ers, they showed that they had lots of class spirit. The annual Senior Play presented on Thanksgiving eve- ning, by the Cass of 1908 proved to be a great success . Those taking part did their work splendidly. The success of the play was due in a great measure to Prof. Egbert. He was untiring in his efforts in training the performers and in planning for and arranging the stage settings. During the winter term the class basket-ball games were
