SKNIOK CLASS I IISTOkY Since our enrollment in Scplember. 1 34. we have jestingly termeJ ourselves the class of human guinea pigs. We have been pondered over, analyzed, dissected and discussed until we are certain thai succeeding classmen should have a flaw- less curriculum with which to work as a result of this experimentation. As a group of green freshmen we entered the building a little amazed and perhaps a little hesitant and timid over the seemingly infinite number of unfamiliar faces in the corridors. We were gradually taken under the wings of the uppcr- classmcn and at the beach picnic sponsored by them our confidence was fully restored. Not long had we been launched upon our new courses of study when we assem- bled to elect class officers. Howard Ingalls was chosen president; Virginia Dustin, vice-president; Carlton Bell, secretary; and Marion Walton, treasurer. For faculty adviser we unanimously elected Doctor Rorcm. who was a newcomer in 1934 and who guided our class until the close of our junior year. In the fall of 1935 it became our duty to welcome the freshmen and make them firl ' at home. We still looked with a little awe and admiration upon our worthy upperclassmcn, but much of our feeling of inferiority was lost in assuming our protective and sympathetic attitude toward our new proteges. In the absence of the former president and treasurer of our class, Virginia Dustin was given the responsibilities of president. Ralph Steltzcr succeeded her as vice-president. Cieraldinc Jabaut was elected treasurer, and our secretary remained the same. Before the close of our junior year we were given grammar school tests and proved our mettle by coming out on top. No sooner had we struggled through this first experimentation than we were informed that as seniors we must pass comprehensive examinations before graduation. These examinations were to cover all the material which we undoubtedly had absorbed in our English and education courses. The class of l ' )37 showed exceptional taste in its selection of faculty adviser. Mr. Otis Noyes was elected unanimously. The years have indeed gone fast in Normal School and it is with a sincere wish that future classes may rival and perhaps excel our own record, that we leave the halls of Normal to conquer wider fields.
