Class History Dear Reader: — I am sure, if you have ever been requested to write the history of your class, it will be no hard task to imagine the present writer racking his brain in a fruitless endeavor to find some trace of literary under- standing. Thus at the beginning I offer my humble apology of my inability to do justice to Our Class 13. It was on a sultry September day in the year 1910, that a band of stu- dents, Our Class, began their pilgrimage in search of the fountain of knowledge at C. S. N. On our arrival we were met by the Faculty and upper classmen of the Normal. Everything was all very new and strange to us, but with the assistance and kindness of our beloved Dr. J. George Becht we were all made to feel very much at home before we had spent many hours at the Normal. After a few weeks a meeting was called and we organized as the Junior Class. Of course, like all other Juniors, we soon began to feel our importance but this was quickly taken out of us. On all sides we were classed as the Greenies. The Seniors dedicated a little poem to us which was as follows: — I stood upon the mountain And looked upon the plain, I saw a lot of green stuff — I thought ' twas waving grain; I looked a little closer And thought it must be grass. But, goodness! to my horror, It was the Junior Class. The Middlers sang it to us in these few touching lines: — We pass the green Juniors by With their silly little grin. We resented this and it was with pain that we realized our inferiority. We resolved to be meek and unoffensive only for a time, during which period we worked with new zeal and a stronger incentive than before. Our first appearance before the public was in the Gymnastic Exhibition. This made us feel that we were a real part of the School. The next event of note was our Junior Promenade. This was a bril- liant affair on the campus and we received much praise for making it such a success. Finally there came the State Board of which we had heard so much. Every recommended Junior passed successfully and thus ended our first year ' s work.
