SENIORS THE GATEWAY « One day we saw in the distance At the end of a winding way A gate that opened into a land Called Life — where the Future lay. • But looking on and dreaming Brought us no nearer, we found, To the rugged gate by the garden fair Where all our hopes are bound. The road at first was lovely, Roofed by blue skies overhead; The changing hours that followed Brought rain and clouds instead. ♦ The toils of the journey taught us That each path holds some test For those who seek Life ' s meaning. And are faithful to the quest. Now we murmur a silent prayer As we enter the fateful gate; May life be, as in our dreams. The treasure for which we wait.

UPPER SENIORS Eleven Physical Education I ' ioneers. the first of the three-year course students and also the initiators of this new course at the Chicago Normal College which has made such strides numerically and in quality of work during the past three years, began their career as a section on September 8, 1925. Miss Hussell, the head of the Physical Education Department, acted as adviser. Although a small group, with no outstanding stars, our section has held the Hockey, Volley Ball, Baseball, Ice Skating, Indoor and Outdoor Golf, and Track Championships of the P.E. sections for at least one of our three years in school. AYe have twice won the first prize at the annual Christmas pageant. A memb er of our section was Secretary, Vice-Presi- dent, and President of the Student Council for three semesters respectively: and we have been represented in the Senior Dramatic Club, on the Nor- maiite, and five times have held office on the Executive Board of the W.A.A. In Se])tember of ' 27 a new group of U.T. ' s gathered here and, although they were a group composed of former teachers and college graduates, they were as verdant and lonely as the classes entering from high school. They were jealous of their rights, independent in their actions, and indignant at hall-duty, punctuality, and all demands on them. Miss Vincent, their ad- viser, was not able to meet them, so Miss Hallinan and Mr. Gore took her place in an efifort to help these people adapt themselves to their new environ- ment. At the end of the first ten weeks they were found nearly unanimous on the roll-call of the Geog raphy Club and the Glee Club. They became ac- quainted and made friends. Leaders were developed; George Lawley had been elected chairman. When the second ten weeks began. Miss Vincent had returned, with her ready cooperation and kindly interest in the atTairs of the section. Work in the Cieogra])hy Club continued, culminating in the Christmas i)arty to which Edith Pollock was able to induce Santa Claus to come. Then, too. there was the Christmas Eestival to which the class went as candles and, on being held uj) outside the engine room, nearly became lighted by the heat. Then came the time for organization and initiation of the plans for graduation. The class election was held and the f( )lli)wing officers were elected : Bessie A. Specht, President Alice Barron, Vice-President Marie Laux, Treasurer La Veune W ' ag.n ' er. Secretarv
