14 THE EMBLEM 1 History of the Class of June, 1919 First of all, let me tell you that the class of June, 1919, is, as all other classes have been, the best that has yet appeared. With that settled, we can go on to a record of some of their deeds. This class might well be called the Victory Class, for it was during our reign that the U. S. fought and won the Great Word War. We entered the halls of this great Normal College just four months after war was declared and promptly set to work to do our bit in winning the war. We knitted, we sewed, rolled bandages, adopted French orphans, collected money for the Red Cross, helped in the Liberty Bond campaigns, gave up eating many things we liked, and just did all we possibly could. If we do say it ourselves, we think we did it remarkably well. Of course with such assistance the U. S. couldn ' t fail to win. And then, oh, how we did do our bit (?) with the noise, especially on the tuning up day, November 7, 1918, and when the boys came home we played flower-girls and had a splendid time. Besides these many outside interests we did find time to study once in a while. As per Normal custom, we left our note-books to be written up the night before they were due and then sat up until the wee sma ' hours completing them. Psychology experiments, education exams, geography topics, state reports, bug reports, like mumps, measles and chicken-pox, we had them all and valiantly survived. We loved (?) to write our plans, •e loved our critics, oiu practice work and our pupils. The first day of practice brought the usual pangs of fear and the last day threw us into deep sorrow. But through it all we have maintained our renowned joyous spirits and no sorrow however great could entirely- down us. And now we have come to the last days of our Normal school life. Within the chrysales that have held us there are stronger and stronger movements and in a few short weeks the members of the class of June, 1919, will emerge as glowing butterflies eager to try their wings in this new world that lies before them and endeavor by their superior wisdom to entrance the mortals around them and instil a small portion of it into the minds of the coming generation. Adieu, dear comrades. E. L. S.
