To the Editors of the GREEN AND WHITE! I am writing this on the anniversary of the opening of the Gorham Normal School. The date was January 29, 1879. Eighty-Hve young men and women entered the school at that time. All but eight of the eighty-five came from Cumberland and York Counties. Most of them were not high school grad- uates. Many of them came directly from the rural schools, others had taught a term or two before entering the normal school. Present students at the Gorham Normal School should not entertain any feeling of superiority, however, because of their more generous general education. The graduates of fifty- seven years ago were as well qualified to meet the requirements for teaching in their day as are the graduates of 1937 to meet the greatly advanced requirements of this day. Those graduates of fifty-seven years ago went out and made a splendid record in the field of teaching, as have the graduates who have gone out year by year since. They took such teaching positions as were available and earned from year to year promotions until they were found in many of the best teaching positions not only in this State but in other States as well. The Class of l937 will profit by the enviable records pre- ceding classes have made. Graduates of earlier days have been building up in the minds of employing superintendents con- fidence in the character, personality, and efficiency of Gorham Normal School graduates. This conlidence opens the door for the new teacher to an interview and employment. It is a privilege and the task of us now in the Gorham Normal School to keep that door open, Walter E. Russell
