The History of the Class of 1914 JEANETTE LOUISE ANGELL ' 14 ONLY upon the walls of time, Will justice ere be done, To the history of this noble class Whose career has but begun. But some idea of it my friends I will endeavor to convey, From a source upon which so many depend, For the history of the day. FREE LANCE Sept. 10, 1912: Yesterday the class of 1914 launched forth upon the sea of knowledge for the purpose of prepar- ation for teaching. The Commercial course, it would seem, has proven a great inducement to students, for not only is Long Island represented, but the extreme southwestern part of the State as well. This class of 1914 pro- mises to be unusually successful in spite of the fact that they enter in an unlucky year, not only because the Commer- cialites will next year have a large class of juniors to uplift, but because of their own inherent qualities as well. Three young men also bravely enter as juniors but time alone will tell how long they will last. Seniors of Clionian and Agonian Sororities Madly Rushing Juniors. Oct. I : There has been great fun and excitement in the intensive rush- ing of the juniors by the seniors of the two school sororities. It must be said that the seniors do know a good thing when they see it, for any junior will be a valuable asset to either society. Dec, 1 9: To-morrow the majority of the students of the professional courses at the Plattsburg State Normal School will leave for their respective homes for the Christmas holidays. These holidays are a forerunner of the new term and after a strenuous half year ' s work the students look forward to them as an incentive to the inevitable mid- year exams. Mid- Year Dance at P.S.N.S, Jan. 31 1913: The gym last even- ing was the scene of one of the season ' s most brilliant dances. Both classes as well as the faculty were well represent- ed. The class of 1914 may well be looked upon as a criterion in fashion by that of 1913, for the gowns worn by the juniors were sine ply exquisite. r ebruary 4: Th e new term of work begins at the Plattsburg Normal to- morrow, and it is hinted by many that the class of 1914 will, in June, leave behind them a record never before at- tained. The work of the past term by them has been remarkably creditable and they are deserving of much praise. March 1 : FoUND : That the class of 1914 possesses a wonderful poetess comparable only with Dante. This gen- ius lies in the person of Miss Lucile Day, and as the days go by, her in- spirations are conveyed to paper in a miraculous manner.

Qionian Entertainment April I 2: The entertainment and re- ception given last evening at the Nor- mal School proved to be a very enjoy- able affair. The playlet entitled The Kleptomaniac given by seven young ladies showed hard work and clever acting. The fact that of the cast of seven, five were members of the class of 1 9 1 4 is a curious symbol of the in- genuity and predominating superiority of this class in this line of work as in all others. Class Election at Normal April 12: Yesterday the junior class at the Normal held a meeting for the purpose of electing their class officers. The meeting went off with the usual vim and spirit which has for many years past characterized the class elections. Thanks to fate Miss Warner received the election for president, for all ap- preciate the fact that it is well to keep the presidency in the family circle. Miss Calkins was elected vice-president, Mr. LaFleur secretary, and Miss Haw- kins treasurer. Junior Prom a Success Fully 200 Young People Enjoy Opening Event of Commencement June 2 1 : Never was the junior Prom- enade at the Normal School a greater success than that of last night. Fully 200 young people enjoyed the pro- gram of dances and orchestral select- ions provided for the occasion in the spacious gymnasium. This promenade is the culmination of the social season of the school year, and ushers in the more solemn functions of commence- ment week. It is given by the juniors in honor of the seniors and is enjoyed by them and their friends, as well as by the faculty and their friends. Senior Class Day at Normal June 26: Yesterday afternoon the seniors and juniors of the Normal were free to give vent to their orginality and wit and they afforded the interested assemblage of friends an abundanoe of the same. The egotistical seniors at- tempted to outdo the juniors in giving their yells but they evidently overlook- ed the fact that the boys were three to two. P.S.N.S. Graduation Exercises June 28: A large class of students of both the Commercial and General courses were yesterday graduated from the Plattsburg State Normal School. The sorrows of the seniors in leaving theis classmates and the faculty was much in evidence. They have the good wishes of all their friends in starting out on their life ' s work. Awarding of Medal June 28: Miss Catherine North was yesterday awarded the gold medal giv- en by the Remington Company for the best record in the speed test of fifty words a minute. This means that fifty accurate words must be written a min- ute for one half hour, and Miss North deserves much credit for her ability in handling a typewriter. Opening of New School Year Sept. 1 1 : The Normal Halls were yesterday the scene of a joyous reun- ion for the class of 1914, who have returned to pursue their senior year ' s work. This class established a fine re- cord in their junior year and no doubt will live up to that record this year. New Instructor Coming to P.S.N.S.
