HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1910 SENIOR HISTORY To write i lie history of such an illustrious class as that of lyio would require the services of a (iibbons or Macauley. but such are not t be found among our number, so the task has been placed on my shoulders. Our class as you see it before you consists of one hundred and sixty-four members, the largest class that has ever graduated from this school. It was early in September of the year nineteen hundred and seven that our class first came together. Being- unused to Normal life and its ways, we strayed around the buildings very much bewildered. Soon, however, our quickness of perception helped us to grasp the customs of those around us, and the green Juniors were no longer so readily distinguished. Still, we remained particularly humble, fearing that trouble might arise if we were too officious. W e now organized as the Junior Class with one hundred and twenty-seven members, and to steer our course along the straight and narrow path adopted as our motto. We launch to-day, where shall we anchor?” As a sign of the purity and nobleness of the lives we determined to lead we accepted the white rose as our class flower, the white of its petals with the gold of its stamens becoming the class cc dors. As success has always been our guardian spirit, so did she perform her duties in helping us to pick out the essential parts of our studies, and in fact, often furnished new ideas for our instructors to discuss. So our Junior year came to a close and with much fear and trembling did we go forth to meet that dreaded company. State Board, but came out without the loss of a single member. 24

HISTORY OF CLASS OF 19JO—Continued When we returned in the fall and entered Normal life once more as Middlers, we found many new faces among our number, while many of the old familiar ones had disappeared. perhaps to seek knowledge in some other hall of fame. These new members entered immediately into the class spirit. Karly in the winter term we added one more affair to the annual social functions, by being the first class to entertain the Seniors. This custom we found to be as much for our enjoyment as theirs, for in the following year we. as Seniors, in turn were entertained. When we returned to the dear old Normal for our last year we adopted all the dignity worthy of the name '■Seniors.” 1'he trustees readily recognized our athletic abilities and in order not to lose the valuable skill of the Senior basketball players, had the gymnasium fitted up with the necessary equipments. Fortune, too, has marked us as an important class in causing the appearance of Halley’s Comet, which could only be seen in the small hours of the morning. 'They say the best view of it could be gotten from the gymnasium steps. 'l'lie athletics of the Senior Class are quite worthy of mention, since the football and basketball teams were made up mostly of Seniors and two members of the baseball team were Seniors. It is with great sorrow that I must speak of the loss of one of our classmates. Jennie McCurdy, who died May 6th after a short illness. Memorial services were held in the Chapel, after which her body was taken to Jackson Center. Although absent in body, her memory still remains with us. “So from the world of spirits there descends A bridge of light connecting it with this O’er whose unsteady floor that sways and bends, W ander our thoughts above the dark abyss.” To attempt to portray a few of the qualities of our class would be indeed a delicate undertaking, fearing that it might 25
