Two years ago, when the 1913 class ap- peared on the scene, the Normal and In- dustrial School realized that here was a class of quality as well as of quantity. Its members came from all points of the compass, not only from North Dakota, but from the adjoining states. They are possessed of a variety of talents which have distinguished them in all the activ- ities of the school. In hoy’s basket-ball two Juniors won renown for their school and t heir class wherever the team played in the state. In fact, points made by the Juniors, number more than those made by all the rest of the team. Or do other classes boast of their military geniuses; a Junior won sec- ond place two years ago and the first place last, year in the military contest, a Junior is now at the head of the company, an- other Junior is Second Lieutenant, while ♦Juniors make up over half of the prize squad. Lest someone may think we have only athletes, we might mention our elo- quent debaters, both among boys and girls; our talented artist and cartoonist whose sickness this year, has been a real handicap in publishing this annual; our soloists and pianists, and, to cap the cli- max, our small but promising actor. Beauty, wit, eloquence, talent, brains— the Juniors have all in a remarkable de- gree; we feel deeply the consequent re- sponsibility cf holding them in trust to spend and be spent for the renown and betterment of our Alma Mater.

In .September of the year 15) 10. the Sophomores appeared upon the campus. In their Freshmen year they were so busy acquiring an education that they did not organize or even have a class tight. Their ardor for knowledge has coded greatly and they are just beginning to enjoy a little leisure. At the earnest request of Mr. Dunphy the class organized in their Sophomore year. From the moment of organization, they have been a power on the campus. Their ability in all directions is to he respected. Two Sophomore girls have dis- tinguished themselves as soloists. There are several who excel at playing the piano. The girls’ basket ball team has given the other teams such a race for supremacy that they are in despair. A Sophomore won the sharp shooter’s medal, while two others made the hoys’ basket ball team. If all the team were as good players as the two Sophomores we could heat any team in the nation. The.class of '14 is so large that, all other classes sink into insignifi- cance in comparison with it. Then too there are more pretty co-eds in the Sophomore class than any two other classes in the State Normal and Industrial School can muster. No undertaking can he carried thru successfully without the Sophomores back of it. Hecause of this, a bright future is assured to the school for at least two years. While other classes may fade from sight and hearing, the class of '14 will continue to he a power not only in the school hut undoubtedly in the state and nation. Page 2S
