Ottortal THE SCHOOLMA ' AM is a little shy; and she begins this, her maiden speech, with many a flutter unknown to experienced platform educa- tors. But the spirit of the Harrisonburg Normal is Never give up ; so, always obedient to her Alma Mater, she steps bravely out upon the public rostrum and makes her demure curtsy. She does not ask you to overlook her faults entirely, nor to magnify her virtues ; but she does modestly request that you, remembering her tender years, will judge her leniently. Some may discover in her remarks a decided historical bias. This is due to the fact that during this, the Year One, she has been reminded at every turn that she is making history, and should record it with strict accuracy for the benefit of posterity. To the little Schoolma ' am her- self, at least, the session of 1909-10 has been one of great import. Momentous events have occurred, vital questions have arisen, some of which were to her matters even of life and death. Hence she naturally wishes to tell her friends about these things that have meant so much to her, as well as to give them glimpses of her busy, happy, memory-making life in school. To all who have given her help and encouragement she extends her heartiest thanks. Anon she will make her parting bow and retire to private life, there to remain in great content until called forth next June by the strenuous closing exercises 5 ' of her school. -17
