WESTFIELD SONG When twilight shadows fall, Bringing on the night, Fond memories we ' ll recall Filled with pure delight, Memories of Normal School And of comrades true; Praises we ' ll sing to you, Dear old Westfield Normal School. Chorus Dear Westfield Normal School, For you we ' l l dare and do, Finest in all the land, Ever by you we will stand, And ' till we meet once more Far on that distant shore, We ' ll sing forevermore, Dear old Westfield Normal School. Harriet Klahn ' 27 SENIOR CLASS SONG ' 31 Although we ' re leaving Westfield Normal, We ' ll remember you. Memories ever loyal will join in with thoughts so true. Here with teachers always helping, here with classmates, too, Yet we ' re leaving now forever, but We ' ll remember you. And to-day as we go out, our hearts are with you here; This class of ' 31 still stands loyal through the year. The Unknown stands and beckons to us as we journey on, But Au Revoir and not Good-bye for We ' ll remember you. B. Smith ' 31 24

CLASS HISTORY — 1928 — The doorway of Modernism was opened to a group of bewildered and anticipating freshmen. We were strange to each other and yet we were bound by a thread which was to encircle us many times before we completed our explora- tion of this house of mysteries. Was this house really like a closed book waiting for us to open it and explore within? Swiftly passing through the hall, we stood on the threshold of Room 1928. Entering, we met Dame Modernism face to face. This was a three-year course; new trends of modern education were showing their heads; our class was the first; so march on. Our first adventure found mortified freshmen peeking through Harold Lloyd glasses, displaying green bows around their humble necks, and tipping brown derbies a la Al Smith deferentially to the illustrious Seniors.
