'Q 5 g 1 FRANK F. MI'nooc'K. I,I'l.IIf'I.lllIl My past life nvnils little.

My hope is to llC'C0lllpllHll as llll1Cll as is expected of nle. My reward is the Success of our ggrucllmtes and the progress of our ideals. Yet all these are but the life of our school. and they are mine only in Com- mon witll all who have shared in the development of our school. T0 THE CLASS UF 1911 My congratulations to the class of 1911! My thanks for the opportunity to greet you through your class hook. Success is nothing hut a good idea coupled with ll21l'Il work. You have worked and won: you have attained success. Like the heautiful sky line of our encircling mountains your life with us has had its rhythmic course, now lifting us to new views. now resting us in fond hopes of your future. Always have you, perhaps all unconsciously. led us into deeper understanding, hroader sympathies. and nohler endeavors. I was restless for the day to come when we should enter upon our ex- ploration of human prohlems. I am even more unwilling for that day to come when your journey into life will he heyond my view. 1Yithout you a certain new enlargement of ideals would not have come. for in executive work there is relatively little satisfaction of the higher life. Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them. You are many friends to me and my prosperity cannot he measured. I have hronght you adversity enough to try your friendship and you endure. So months before you separate for new successes I regret that you must go. Many an evening I see your faces, each vivid in its turn, and I wonder what questions you would ask, if you dared. Then I pass from wondering to recalling my own experiences, what I wish some one had told me early in life. and I resolve you shall have the satisfaction. the contentment which arises when the mean- ing and end of life are reasonably clear hefore one undertakes his part in the world's work. Happiness will he yours. It grows hy doing: so it may he cultivated. It will shine out of your face or flow from the touch of your hand to all whom you serve. Energy, courage. and persistence: enthusiasm. faith, and skill! These are the conditions of success in happiness. You have them and your future looms large with power and full of accomplishment. F.

Bridgie is our class president, spiritual adviser and our all around girl. She has a very sweet and musical voice as was shown in the class play where her singing made a great hit. But even this can't be compared to the hit she makes when she sings Down on the Farnin to a bunch of lonesome girls. The class of 1911 expects great things from Bridgie especially in the school lines.

Hellah! for the elass of 1911 1Ye're enthusiastic' and we're all gymnastie And we're on for all the fun. oh yes we are. How often the elass of 1911 sang this song in the gym. every word of which is so true! In September 1909, we were hailed as the record c-lass,' and the uathletie elassf' No douht we deserved it. At any rate, we immediately started to live up to it. Oh! the courage we possessed. 11'hen in November, lNIiss Skeele asked if we were ready to meet the seniors in the gym, we jumped at the ehanee. Of eourse we would heat them! Didn't Bliss Skeele say they would have to work hard to he victors? 1Yith confidence in our hearts we practised a little, and prepared to meet them on Friday, Nov. 17. Uh! that day! The great game was stationary basket ball. 1Yhat didn't the eirele players think when they saw the jumping seniors guarding their eireles? But whoever heard of the elass of 1911 heing discouraged? It was a splendid game with good playing on hoth sides and although the seniors did win, it was with a score only a few points over ours. 1Vere we disappointed? A little, hut we did not let that get the hetter of our good nature, and as the seniors filed ont, we cheered and praised them with our songs. That was sueh a good game would we like to repeat it and invite our friends? This was the question Miss Skeele put to us the following week. 1Yere we ready? 1Yasn't every one of those players ready to meet and defeat those seniors, as we were sure we eould? -Xrrangements were made. 1Yhat anxious juniors we were when Friday evening finally arrived. 1Ye played! yes, we played our hest and at the end of the first half we were mueh eneour- aged, for we were victorious. But when the second half started we began to despair. The seniors were steadily climbing up! They were 0110 point ahead! Uh! would we ever get that contrary ball in that basket? There ,' sl1e goes! Une of the circle players has thrown the ball! Yes, it is going right into the basket! It did-but just as it was thrown the whistle was blown and the basket was not counted. That left our score one point behind the seniors. 1Yhat disappointment! It is well said, Thou art so near and yet so far. for that was the way we felt at that minute. However, we roused ourselves and cheered and sang to the seniors, for we couldn't let them see we minded a bit. Soon we received a fresh disappointment. 1Ye were told there could be no interclass games that spring. However we did the best we could, and instead of the class of 1910 playing against the class of 1911 we had mixed teams. but of course no score could go on the board. The following fall we were as enthusiastic as ever, and were very anxious to meet the new juniors in the gym. In October, Bliss Skeele decided she would allow us to play them, if they were willing. They were not only will- ing, but they were anxious, so we arranged the games for a Friday evening in October. 1Ve soon realized that what Bliss Skeele had been telling us all along. was true, for we were winning in everything. Stationary basket ball was T H E game, and at the end of the second half the score stood Q1 to 3. For some time after this, interclass athletics were at a standstill. Fin- ally we determined to again set the wheels going. 1Ye talked to Miss Skeele and, after overcoming several difficulties, arranged to meet the juniors Feb. 21. But the fates were against us! 1Ye won end ball with a score I will not mention because the juniors would blush so when they saw it in print. They won double goal, beating us by one point. Then our turn came when station- ary basket ball was announced. 1Ye were ever victors in that game! Then came the climax. 1Vhat was the trouble that the class of 1911 let the juniors. defeat them in basket ball. The total score for the day was 10 for 1912, 9 for 1911. That was the last time we met the class of 1911 in the gymnasium. VVe played a great deal in our two years' course and really lived up to the ap- pelation we were given when we entered. ,X 1 f ,,-1--P- ,X I 1 ,' 'XX 4 x W x 1 'A I f' f I . .pp I I ? , C . 1 -- 4 'U Q QV.

I fell asleep and presently I found myself drifting and drift- ing-until I actually came to the shores of Greece. Hy some mysterious force I felt myself heing carried onward and it was not long hefore I realized that I was in the presence of the oracle. For a few moments all was silent. Suddenly in the darkness, I saw a weird light flash forth: and in tones solemn and majestic, a voice demanded.- VVhat wouldst thou with me? Tremhling and almost overcome with fear. yet determined to satisfy my craving for a knowledge of the future I summoned courage and replied,A To me the future of my classmates is a matter of vital interest and I will ask for nothing more if I may see or know of the location and occupation of each in 1920 Breathlessly I waited. Again came the deep and solemn voice whose message I will now try to give to you.

Even in Panama we have been represented by Leona Hilton, Laura Ste- vens and Joe Tumpane. The latter, however, did not remain long in the teaching profession: her notion concerning the necessity of improving sani- tary conditions led her to the science of medicine. Lrgent letters from a lonesome somebody in the North made Leona's stay a short one also. Laura alone retains the dignified post of school ma'am.

Even Nature shed sympathizing tears for us as we sal- lied forth. clad in raincoats and rubbers, armed with umbrellas, notebooks, and pencils. and with Mr. Guss as our leader. Every few moments, as we marched down Church street, we heard his cheerful voice. far ahead, calling out through the mist and rain like a silver trumpet. Step lively girls! Step lively between stations! How well we responded to his gentle summons will not be recorded here. Proceeding in this manner. at last. we reached our destination. Uh, the wonders which met our gaze on every side. No words can do them jus- tice. Only those who have enjoyed such a trip can appreciate its pleasures and sweet smells! Wie were courteously shown through the factory from one end to the other. The mysteries of the dyeing room. the printing room and bleaching room were revealed to us, followed by an explanation of the marvels of ice manufacture and forging. liut even then after all these wonders had been exposed to our vision, we had not seen all there was to see in the veritable wonderland. For we had yet to visit the gas house. Uh, what a hot place! Never will we forget the marvels of that hour: the sights, the sounds, the smells, and last but not least, tl1e farewell of one who mourned over the parting in such heart render- ing words as these? That pack of old maids has gone for this year! Doubtless he agreed with the prisoner who had just regained his freedom: Of all glad words of tongue or pen, The gladdest are these: 'I'm free again'. After that, we too were free for the rest of the afternoong free to wend our way slowly homeward, pondering over the new knowledge we had gained, or discussing it among ourselves, preparatory to writing a detailed account of it in the evening. we CL 2-VR 1. GLEE CLUB 1Yhen the North Adams normal school opened, a Glee Vlub was formed consisting of members from the junior and senior classes. The number has always been limited to not more than twenty-six members. Each year the girls from the junior class who are to participate are carefully selected by Miss Searle, with the members of the senior class who belonged the preceding year made up the club. Before the dormitory was built the rehearsals were held twice a week, from twelve-fifty to one twenty-five. the girls arriving on time from all over the city. Since the opening of the dormitory the girls making their homes there have found it impossible to be ready early, as many of them assist in domestic work, so now the rehearsals begin promptly at one and end at one twenty-tive. lvp to the time of senior dramatics there were two concerts a year, one being held in the winter and the other in the early summer months. Dif- ferent officers from the senior class were chosen for each of the two concerts thus giving more girls an opportunity for practice as leader. At first the girls were assisted by local talent. Later they had outside professional talent, from Pittsfield and Northampton. In the beginning with the proceeds from the concert the girls purchased works of art for the school, however, this was given up and the presenting of a gift to the school was left with the graduating class. The concert of 1911 was given April twenty-first. The members of the glee club had worked faithfully committing all the pieces to memory. They were very fortunate in securing the assistance of Bliss Holmes, an instructor on the violin at Smith College, she had been engaged several times before and we cannot speak too highly of her. Her excellent work, with llr. Chambers accompanying added greatly to the program and the success of the concert which seemed to be so thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The girls owe a great deal of their success to Bliss Searle who has worked untiringly all the year in order that the selections should be sung with much meaning and expression. With the money that remains after expenses are paid interesting and ap- propriate selections are purchased to be learned for the concert the follow- ing year. .

Since the spring of 1903 when a delightful Tennyson Recital was given in Normal Hall, something in the dramatic line has been attempted each year by the members of the senior class. Although much handicapped by the lack of a good stage, scenery, and stage properties, a number of excellent production have been presented, among which Thesius,', a Greek play, Princess Kikerf, a Japanese romance and A Scrap of Paper, a modern comedy have been the most effective. This year a picturesque and beautiful version of Longfellow's Hiawatha was produced and it was generally conceded that the standard of excellence which had been previously established was not only well sustained, but in some respects surpassed in this last effort in which the stage effects were marvelous for an amateur production and the reading of dimcult lines was excellent. In fact nothing connected with the school life is undertaken with more genuine enthusiasm by the students or is received with such hearty and sub- stantial support from the general public as the senior class play. it X CCE ' E Q 1 .ww ff xx X COIVIMENCEMENT XYELCOME Undergraduates, members of the faculty, friends and parents, it is with great pleasure that we welcome you on this occasion, this day of days, the dawning of which we have looked and longed for and yet we regret to see it close, for the two years which we have spent here, although at times they have seemed long and burdensome, have been very pleasant ones for us and it is with a touch of sadness that we leave this life to take up our duties in broader fields. But our pleasure is doubled because you are here to share it with us on this our class day. As we stand at the entrance of the door which closes to us our school days and opens to us the world, in which we are to become workers, helpers and leaders, our thoughts turn with feelings of gratitude and appreciation to those who have done so much to help us in our struggle to reach the goal. o the members of the faculty we realize that we owe a debt which even at our best we can pay only in partg this part, kind helpers, we are resolved flli to pay with interest, if persistent effort may be accounted as interest. Though at first, we may find ourselves in restricted fields with limited opportunities we are resolved to struggle onward and upward or in the words of Brown- ing, 'Wvelcome each rebuft that makes earth's smoothness rough. Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go. ive intend that the communities in which we work shall feel that the world is being repaid for the maintenance of its institutions of higher education. ive hope by our love for our chosen work, by the varied lines which we expect to bring to the attention of such communities, to instill in them a desire for the best in every thing, and so to encourage them to pursue the upward and onward course. To our parents who have spared nothing in their efforts to make our life here as happy and free from care as possible we owe everything. In many cases the sacrifice involved has been great, but we trust that by our lives we may show our appreciation of the many privileges granted us. You will watch eagerly for our success and we will strive with all our might to realize the ideals which you hold up for us. To our school-mates we look for the continuance of the high ideals of the school. YVe feel sure that you must have embibed something of the dignity and perseverance which become the senior class, from the atmosphere of association the past year, short though it has been. We hope that you have begun to realize the truth given to us by lladeline Bridges, Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. To you we have the responsibility of maintaining the name and honor, which we have striven to uphold and which is traditionally passed on from the successive classes of the North Adams Normal School. BRIDGIE A. Four, Presiderzi, Vlass 1911. fi SEPT 1909 JUNE 1510 SEPT 1910 JUNE 131' AN it he almost two years since we entered this most wonderful I l 1 Qi-I za :Q if I I I-I I I institution known as the North .Xdams Normal School? -Xlthough those two years have heen short. too short in time, they will remain long in our memories. As we review the time during which we have been together. we first think of the farewells. cautious warnings, and a thousand and one don't forgets of our parents and friends as we hravely sallied forth from our homes to undertake what. we little knew. .Xt almost every city station or country crossing one or more lively, happy girls boarded the train. accompanied hy as many timid, weeping maidens. The latter proved to he Juniors who were watched and guided hy the cheerful. motherly Seniors until they reached their destination. Tac-onic Hall. and were placed under the ever watchful eye of the faculty. A stranger passing through the corridors on the second and third floors that evening would have wondered at the little white cards on the different doors. These were merely guide-posts for the Juniors in finding their rooms unaided hy the Seniors. Those entrance examinations! How our pencils trembled in our hands as we struggled to master the many questions which ranged from the finding of the age of Ann in algehra down to the drawings of imaginary three-toed fossils in Zoology! Nevertheless, we found the age of Ann. to the satisfaction of the faculty, and sixty ambitious Juniors were given reserve seats at the front of the hall for chapel. Hush! Still as death, All was so abodingly still V until the Seniors entered with many a baffled roar like a toothless sea mumb- ling a rock-bristled shore. Fear not, Juniors, the Seniors are bidding each other good morning in the lower corridor. Then, with a tramp, tramp, tramp, up the stairs and into the hall they came, standing themselves up in a row and passing their opinions on every individual Junior in the place. It did not take them long to conclude that we were a decidedly intelligent class, an opinion which they held through- out the year. Our attention was next attracted by the faculty who entered with all due stateliness and majesty, took their places on the platform and smiled at us sympathetically. During the day, it was impressed upon us many times that with these people rested our fate. One Friday evening in the latter part of September, we were given a reception by the class of 1910. On the named evening, every member of our class was on hand, wearing her best bib and tucker. It has often been said that all babies look alike. 1Vhether our hostesses meant to insinuate any- thing of such a nature or not. was not made' known, but a small white card bearing our respective names with a few general facts of our past histories was fastened securely to each white frock. Everybody had an enjoyable time, and at ten o'clock, after bidding our beloved Seniors good night, each little maid went to her bedroom to hear, within the next fifteen minutes, Lights out ! Not daring to disobey rules, the lights were accordingly turned out so that each little, inexperienced Junior went to bed in the dark. How- ever, this happened but once for such a difticulty was easily removed and every night since that memorable evening we have planned our time so well and arranged our work so systematically that we have always hadlights out and been tucked in our trundle beds at 10.15. ' 1Yhen the frost was on the pumpkin, And the fodder in the shook. we returned the compliment and entertained the Seniors and faculty for an hour and a half. 1Ye spared no expense in making this party a success, among other things, having a Gypsy fortune teller to predict the future of each an- xious guest. and even obtaining ghosts to serve refreshments. How delighted the Seniors were! However, there was only one thing told by the Gypsy to which they would not agree, and that was, ere they became full fledged teach- ers, there would arise one difficulty which would not prove a stepping-stone. The truth of this statement was not fully 'realized until both classes met in the gymnasium. 1Yhat enjoyable trips we took that year! The first on the list was the western shaft of the Hoosac Tunnel. We can still picture each girl loaded with notebook. pencil, basket, bottle of acid, glass and hammer in single file. slowly but successfully crawling under a barbed wire fence and often testing stones on the opposite side, once more resuming tl1e up hill trip. Finally, the shaft was reached, and such digging, hammering and scratching had not been seen in this part of the country since the construction of the tunnel itself. Led by Mr. Guss, we finally made our weary way back to school with our bakset of rare and precious minerals under one arm and our implements under the other. The most interesting and helpful trip of the year was the one to the Arnold Print 1Vorks. It rained that day as it never rained before, but the class of 1911, ever eager for knowledge, being protected by raincoats, rubbers and umbrellas, reported at the factory early in the afternoon. Here we made volumes of notes on all practical points. thereby pleasing our instructor. Before leaving the grounds, we visited a blacksmith's shop, the owner of which readily explained the process of making horseshoes. Although few, if any of my classmates expect to engage in the business, we are all thoroughly versed in the science of it. In mathematics, we were taught to bring geometry into our lives, making life applications, or in other words, thinking along straight lines, and making our expressions clear cut and right to the point. ive made a specialty of practical problems, such as the finding of the cost to the proprietor of a restaurant of one shredded wheat biscuit with cream, the profit thereon, and also a list of expenses which might be defrayed with the said profit. From necessity, the work in reading and arithmetic were somewhat correlated. lVhen we entered school, much to our surprise, we found that we were unable to count. The year was too short to make up back work in arithmetic, so llliss Baright consented to have the class count in voice drill. The numbers to be mastered were from one to five inclusive. 'How often. oh, how often, In the days that have gone by, the surrounding hills have echoed and re-echoed with our cries of one, two, three, four, five? Une, two, three, four, five! The work was so thorough that after a few months' training we could count fives to the right, tives to the left, tives forward and tives backward without one mistake. Ill dramatics, we studied fables in the latter part of the year. A guest upon entering the room, would have wondered at the vacant chairs, but in a little while, he would have discovered the students on stools, tables, under desks, in the wastebasket, and in every other conceivable place, representing animals of the different realms. Many of the representations were so good that, had our guest remained in the hall, he would, without a doubt, have thought a travelling circus was holding a rehearsal in the room. Half of the year, one period a week, was given to the study of household science. Here we were taught how to keep a room clean, fresh and as at- tractive as possible. This work was put into practise in the training school. Only the teachers in that building can testify to the value of such a science to us, for we worked in the school rooms until our fingers were worn to stubs and the flesh threatened to leave our bones. hlr. Blurdock, realizing the seriousness of our condition, gave us a week's vacation to recuperate. Upon our return to school, we were told that we had had our Easter vacation. In this selfsame year, we were given gardens in which we worked morn- ing, noon and night in a temperature which ranged from three degrees below zero to ninety in the shade. How we did work in those gardens. hoeing, watering with a rake and thinning the plants. Before finishing the work, we were thoroughly acquainted with all small seedlings and could easily dis- tinguish between plants and weeds, or at least, we ought to have been able to. But two somewhat unfortunate members who started seeds in-doors industriously pulled out the plants and administered the greatest of care to a few delicate little weeds which, with this unusual attention, soon rivaled the young trees on the hillside. Regardless of our hard work and steady advance, we found time for games with the Seniors. Ive were their constant but unwilling target except when in the gymnasium. Here we had the strength of Kwasind, he the strongest of all mortalsf, The results of several games in the early part of the year were a credit to our opponents. In a frolic, although we did not win with a score. we excelled in play and offered our services to the Seniors as coach for their team. However, this pleasure was refused. Un the score board the score did justice to the work of 1910. but why did they refuse all our invitations to games? This we will leave to your imagination as it was left to ours. In June, with the advent of superintendents, we realized that our Seniors were soon to will their seats in assembly to us, and it was with deepest regret that we bade them farewell. extending to them our heart-felt wish that they would be successful in their life work. Thus, the year passed on, each one progressing in her own little sphere. and the line from the tip of the nose to the nape of the neck becoming markedly curved, showing one year's growth in gray matter. ' The summer vacation certainly did wonders for us. After all the buttons, hooks and eyes had been securely sewed on our clothes. tucks and seams let out as much as possible, a clay arrived IVhen the warm, glad sunshine filled the sky of noon. And a wind, borrowed from some morn in June, Stirred the brown grasses of the leafy spray, we returned to school with rustic health, cheeks of tan, lips redder than those kissed by strawberries on the hill, and the muscles of our brawny arms strong as iron bands. Such a time as we had trying to recognize each other. IYhere were our Juniors? Ive had met none in our travels from home. Perhaps they were late and missed the train, however, upon arriving at Taconic Hall, we were welcomed by the faculty and the Juniors who, if one were to judge from their ease of manner and familiarity with their surround- ings, had arrived several days before the opening of school. Nevertheless, here they were, and thoroughly acquainted with each and all of the entering class. That evening, after hearing of the many trials and adventures of the girls and rememhering that we were once more under the dormitory roof and regulations, at half past ten we were under Orpheus' charm. At that very witching hour of the night when all things take on weird and horrible shapes ive heard in the chamher ahove us The patter of little feet, The sound of doors that were opened And voices soft and sweet. A sudden rush from the doorways, A sudden run in the hall, And hy one door left unguarded, The Seniors saw it all, Behold the Juniors! having a midnight spread and eating food carried miles from home. There was no such record in our statistics, and we are pleased and delighted to think that they finally henefited hy our wise and thoughtful example. School work soon hegan in earnest, and knowing that we should have a representative hody, we elected the following officers: Miss Fody, President: llliss llaloney, Vice-President: Miss Meagher, Treasurer: Miss Mahanna. Recording Secretary: and Bliss Tower, Vorresponding Secretary. As a class. we fully appreciate their work and ceaseless efforts in making everything undertaken a success. Upon entering the Zoology room, we found the work assigned more than less connected with our garden work, heing sent out i11to the highways in search of garden and household pests. in order that we might apply methods of exterminating them The only way in which we were allowed to consider them was in connection with the harm they did in getting their food. never as the poor, harmless fly that comes to makes us merry with his pretty. huzzing melody. Bees demanded over half our time. and we made an ex- haustive study of their life and habits. Even now. on the spur of the mo- ment, we can give the exact numher of drone cells to the square inch. This year we took up a new line of work with Mr. Bowen. In geography our memories were strengthened and enlarged, and spelling and prommciation improved. Special topics were given out. the very first day and. as we hecame, more acquainted with the work, the rate at which they were assigned was proportionately increased. Much time, energy and patience were spent on locational geography. Perhaps it is sufficient to say that when the work was completed we could give in one hreath the location, population and im- portance of any place hetween the two poles. In history, strategic points and crucial moments received their share of attention. ive greatly henefited hy the spur of the off season and hecame thoroughly acquainted with the terminology of all hooks Within our reach. Thus, our lessons were recited in a manner which greatly surpassed the expectations of our instructor. As a word to the Juniors, let us advise special study of Semple and Shaler, as you will find them delightful reading and, as far as we know, the best books on that particular subject. IYhen you are called upon for a report from them profit by a Senior example and do not give your estimation of of the book itself. In our gymnasium work, Miss Skeele, in her concise, introductory talk, congratulated us upon our play spirit which had by no means vanished during the summer. We always attended strictly to our work and without fail we invariably received A on every run. Our work was so good that she de- 'QV cided to reward us. How she did get those prizes into our hands. Throughout the year, we received messages, both written and oral, to join the Juniors in the gymnasium. They could not understand our excuses, but when they are Seniors and have psychology, geography and authors' books to work on, maybe they won't find time for games. The jelly, the jam and the marmalade, The cherry and quince preserves we made, Ivith cinnamon in tl1en1 and all things rare. Ah, wasn't it good for a girl to see. And wasn't it good for a girl to be In the Senior cooking class? Even a Junior was heard to say, If my old nose don't tell me lies, 'Pears like I smell custard pies! She was right. for there on the table, ready to be cut, were custard pies made by the skillful cooks of our class. Because of our unusual ability in this line, before the completion of the course, we gave a luncheon and were highly complimented on our success. If we received compliments for such work, what will limit the praise which the undergraduated, our worthy Juniors, will receive? Even now they can make anything from fudge down to a shrimp wiggle while you wait. And such an inventive class! So well did they master the principles of mechanism, in physics that they set about to make pulleys-pulleys that worked-but not very long. Take heed! Follow our example, Juniors, and turn your energies in the right channels on things worth while and success will surely crown your efforts. In the psychology class, we gradually became aware of our cages, and we were informed that there are some things which even Seniors could not do. I-Iow we envied each girl who was called upon to illustrate an important point or psychological fact by sighting some of the experiences of her past life. Our class play. '6Hiawatha, was presented a short time ago with great success. The Ojibways themselves would have stood off and gazed with won- der and surprise on the wooing of Minnehaha and the antics of the crafty l'au-l'uk-Keewis in the lic-ggar's Dance. ln a few days, our paths in life will separate widely, and though we have been together two short years, we have formed friendships that can never he broken,-thoughts that can never grow dull and will carry away with Us many pleasant memories of the happy days we have spent together. If stories of dry and learned lore we gain, Wle keep them in the memory of the hrainl Names, things and facts-whatever we knowledge call.- There is a common ledger for them all. And images on this cold surface traced Make slight impressions and are soon effaced. But we've a page more glowing and more hright. Un which our friendships and our love to writeg That these may never from the soul depart, We trust them to the memory of the heart, There is no dimming, no effacement there: Each new pulsation keeps the record clearg W'arm, golden letters all the tablet fill, Nor lose their luster till the heart stands still. 9 'm ll I A 5' CLASS SUNG Uh, Normal, thy children of 1911, A boon now are asking at thy bounteous throne- Sinee on our life's journey we're starting today.

'Till you've gained the top of the ladder: 'Till you have at your nod and command All the resources God has given you: 'Till you dare for the right ever stand. I fhe tender shoots of the ivy. The fingers so frail and thin. Are groping and feeling for something. To which they forever may cling. So let us send out from our beings, Tender shoots of affection and love, For the sick, the afflicted, the downcast, For those who from duty do rove. And thus we'll be helped and uplifted, Be turned from our cares and strife, Be guided, by guiding another, To a nobler and better life. BIILDRED JENKs. IVY URATION In the days of old, at the feet of the god they wished to worship, the Greeks placed a lamp which they kept burning for some time, frequently replenishing the oil. So, at the feet of our Alma Mater, we wish to leave our burning lamp. It is for this purpose that a tiny slip is cut from the ivy every year, and carefully tended until it is ready, not to be sacrificed, but to do its own proud work, by showing to the world the feeling of the class who planted it. The ivy, which we plant today, was cut from a vine in the fall of 1909 and, being given careful treatment, thrived. So, too, our love, which began an independent life in the autumn of this same year, has increased slowly and surely, until today we are ready to present it to the world through the symbol which our class has nourished. WA dainty plant is the ivy green, and as it grows year by year, and as it climbs, it clings tightly and still more tightly to those walls of our Alma illater, embracing her with tiny, delicate, yet st1'ong tendrils. So may we, from this time on, live as our symbol. Every year may we develop, but as we advance toward maturity, and as we cli111b, may we embrace our Alma. Mater more tenderly, and cling to her more lovingly. After several years, as the ivy grows, one trying to tear it from the wall will find it impossible. Thus may our love, as it becomes greater and stronger each year, never be torn from our beloved Alma Mater. Each year may we return to this home and view what to others is a symbol of our class, but to us is a symbol of our growth, our love, and all that our school holds dear to us. ANNA D. DONOXLAN. M fa?
