The inspiration of literature, the beauty of art, the accuracy of mathe- matics, the joy of music combined into one harmonious whole, the Class of 1915. An Appreciation Why have the heavens wailed And wept so long this year. Why made the gloomy clouds Our skies so dark and drear? ' Tis that they cannot vision The victories to come When 1915 Normal girls Will start to make things hum. The heavens only know. That all of you must go With all your sprightly graces. Your sweet and winsome faces— For us one compensation — We put you thru your paces. To the Critic Teachers: I am the Spirit of the Class of June, 1915. Through the Emblem I am expressing to you my respect and love. You have said of me that I am good and kind and capable. I can say of you that you, too, are good and kind and capable and very, very much more. Dear faculty of the Haines, of the Carter, and of the Parker Schools, you who have ever been to me not only my critic and my adviser, but my friend — to succeed as you have succeeded in the vocation which I have chosen shall ever be my Spirit ' s aim. to deserve these beautiful thoughts you have written here, my fond desire.

They ' re an exceptional lot of good workers, The ' June, 1915, ' girls. They ' re jolly, they ' re clever, they ' re pretty — but better, A capable set of girls. ' A peerless promising procession of pretty and popular pedagogs. The chief defect in the class of 1915 lies in the personal charm of its mem- bers. I fear that their career as teachers will be too brief, as they will soon enter the field of matrimony. May we have many more classes just like them. The class that proclaims that c-r-i-t-i-c t-e-a-c-h-e-r spells friend. As judged by three particular students: came to her work with a docile, willing, obedient spirit and left with a fine promise of independence and initiative. might be taken as a model for smart clothes, but her critic ' s estimate in social efficiency is 100%. is earnest, serious, capable and confident. Here ' s to the Class of 1915. As girls they came to us with enthusiasm, vim, and good cheer. God bless them! As women, may they ever keep their girls ' hearts strong and beautiful, the hope, the strength, the safeguard of Chicago ' s future citizens. God guide them! Judging by the girls I have met, I think that the class of June, 1915, is earnest and conscientious, and that there is good material in it. I have noticed particularly their excellent posture and I am glad that they have disregarded the debutante slouch and carry themselves so beautifully. The June Class shows the progress that should be made from year to year. I am very much pleased with the work the students have been doing and with the sympathetic attitude they have for the children. The girls of 1915 to be described in a sentence? Impossible! It would take a book of many, many pages to describe them, with their fun, and charm, and industry. 19
