Class Will I, the class ,,f luiic, 1024. nf ilu- Chica-n Xoniial College, hfin.q- ,,[ m,uii.1 mind, nieuKiry, and understanding, do make, publish, and declare my last will and tes- lamcnt in the manner following: 1 die in the spirit of the Chicago Nor- mal C olle,ge, in which I was l orn and in which I took root, budded and Idos- somed. I ha -e always had reason to lie pleascil with my dear lower classmen. 1 retaui for them the most profound sentiment and hope that the}- will fulfill all expecta- tions I hold of them on my decease. I make the following provisions tor thi-iv benefit : 1. I leave to said classes dixers black. white, and otherwise rats, certain caged rabbits, and some ring doves, all living; also a bevy of birds and animals stufl ' ed, no less than one hundred preserved in- sects, not living, a noteworthy collection of frog ' s eggs (not to be mistaken for caviar), one maimed skeleton, and a menagerie of bacteria of many sizes, shapes, and strengths, I will all these to my student survivors on condition that they enjoy their company, holding such instructive conversations with or about them as I have held. All these bequests are within the boundaries of the Chicago Normal College in such places as their keejjcrs and nurses have seen lit to [dace them. 2. I gi e to said classes the lunchroom, to be used as their own fancies dictate. I do not impose appetite as a condition. 3. I gi ' e and Ijequeath to them als ' , llie use nf the library, the office, the biidge. the corridors and the Arts Iniild- ing and mildly recommend that the conduct in such places l)e dictated by the traditions in existence therein and not by personal whims or desires. Violate this recommendation at your own peril 4. It is my will that all choruses and assemblies I surrender up to you be at- tended. However, I find from experience that rigorous limitations are aiit to hri e an opposite efifect from tint intended.. Therefore, I command: do not attend choruses or assenil lies on pain of deith. 5. I give to and impose upon said lower classmen the tyranny of the bells. It is my alisolute direction, however, that they be obeyed — as far as possible. (Otherwise it is my desire that all other priceless bequests willed to these stu- dents l e rendered null and void. trary nnpo al. 1 give and l)e(pieath the social hour and the swimming tank to my student beneficiaries for their amusement. There is one restricliiai. The swimming lank is a place for racing, slow locomo- tion, or merely splashing. It was not in- tended as a source of refreshment. 7. To said classes I bequeath all lock- er- which my members have hitherto known as their own. I give them also all coat hangers, shelves, nails, etc., which may be found in those recesses. They have bcrne up under manv burdens in the past and will, no doubt, continue to do so in the future. 8. I also give and becineath to said classes the privilege of perusal of all fur- niture, pictures (including family por- traits), works of art, silver, plated orna- ments, bric-a-brac, books, china, glass, im]5lements and plants which may be within the walls of the Chicago Normal College at the time of my decease. To the faculty I give and bequeath : 9. .Such of my work as it mav deem excellent enough to be used as uispira- tion to succeeding classes. In order that this vast amount of material be accessible to all. T recommend that it be gathered mto v.ilunus according to subject, placed i)i the libr;irv. ami listed in the card cata- logue. 10. . 1-.,. the memory , f a clar-s which .gave excellent attenlimi on all occasions. I repared homework with exemplary regu- larity and care, and exhibited .such men- tal powers as had never been heard of be- fore and. T am inclined to belie -e. ne -er will be again. .Ml other memories, I wish it understood, are not anyone ' s legal pro|)- erty and it is ni - desire ' that thev be in- terred with me. I.;islly. to the faculty I wiU the suc- ceeding classes and to said classes, the faculty, each to be rega-ddl as the jiroj)- erty of the other. In order to be non- liartis.-m. I extend my sympathv to both. ' Also, to the students, I make a special gift of my advisers. They are the cream of teachers, for they are not only capable of advising but do advise. They are as wise as Socrates, as helpful as a senior, and as s in]iathetic as a junior. In witness whereof. 1 liave hereunto set inv hand .and affixed mv seal this 20th dav of Inne. 1 ' I24.

CLASS OFFICERS Class History This is station CXC at the Chicago Xcrinal College. Today we will broadcast to you the story of the largest graduating class the college has ever had. Let the present recall the past. It is September, 1922. A group of over two hundred and fifty smiling and eager faces enter the portals of that famous institution known as the Chicago Normal College. For a few days they wamlcr al;i ' ut. all too con- scious of being Frcshic- , Imt this sense of new- ness soon wears off. Not much time is lost Ijeforc this group becomes organized as the class of June, 1924. They draw up a constitution and elect their officers. Helen McCormick is chosen to be the first president. She proves herself to be a very able leader. Athletics play an important part in the Nor- mal life of this class. Hockey sticks are being wielded skilfully. A hockey tournament is played. Section three wins honors for itself and its class. In swimming also this section stands out promi- nentl Helen Jo ce gains spia s for their wreath of laurels Chustmas draws nijh 11k Ltlclnat.. with i well arranged pn iani Lt ni the wake ot the tcstne season st uid th( i i midable exams but the class concnu i iIds Ii i, i and emerges tri- umphanth as tin. LlM ' i lunims Stdl undei the kailcisliip ot Helen McCormick and her able associates, they march on Flunk warnings act as danger signtls, exams as har- riers, but cner the top to victory they go. . long vacation their reward. You are still listening to station CNC. We will now tell you part two of the history of the class of June, 1924. September again. Once more the portals swing wide. Eagerly they enter as Lower Seniors. They choose Betty Haberstein as their guide. Con- fidently do they now approach the ladder of knowledge, impatient to reach the uppermost rung. It is at this time that many of the class try out for the Senior Dramatic Club. Much talent is disco ered. And now the time approaches for thcin to put into practice the things that Normal has laiii;]U them. All seem to enjoy the period of cadcting, but are nevertheless glad to be reunited at their own school. They enter upon the Upper Senior scineslcr with Helen Stanton leading them surely ami safe- ly toward their goal. Then follows a Inisy term, one filled with planning and preparation for class and gradu ation c sincerely hope the realization will lie as pleasant as the anticipation. You have been listening to station CN ' C We are signing off until September, 1924. wlu-ii you will hear of this class ' s work with Chicago ' s outh. Good luck!
