THE SEQUELLE Class Song of ' 24 (Tune — Dream Daddy) 1 Old Clarion Normal, our Alma Mater, Dear Alma Mater of mine. We all are glad to be your sons and daughters, Here ' neath the Purple and Gold We ' ve made friends with young and old. Ever shall we raise To you our highest praise. Chorus : Old Clarion, My Clarion When we ' re gone from you for many years We ' ll remember the days we spent here. Old Clarion, my Clarion, Now and in all after time We ' ll look back with memories fond, memories true And be glad that we can always call you Dear Alma Mater of mine. 2 Now that our school days at Clarion are over We shall go forth to roam the world over, Making our way among men Working and playing. But when Memories backward wing We shall always sing. — Helen McClain.

THE SEQUELLE Class History There come to institutions as well as persons, certain great events which change their history. When the Class of 1924 came to C. S. N. S. by the B. and 0.. L. E. F. and C, and automobiles, (it is not known whether any of our number came by aeroplane), the history of that in- stitution was changed, and one of the great events of its life had come to pass. Some one hundred strong , we immediately settled into the routine and began making history to record. Our first duty was to organize, which we promptly did. As worthy president we elected Mary Ellen Boyersmith, and to support her, we chose others ecjually efficient. These officers immediately started things going and the class of 1924 soon made the Seniors sit up and take notice. The Seniors were very kind to us and. as a reward, we curbed our inclinations and submitted with utmost docility to the mild hazing known as Senior Week. Numerous social functions were given and returned by both classes, so that our social natures were developed to keep pace with our phenome- nal mental growth. But oh, the autumn of 1923 ! In full force and supplemented by many summer students, we came back in all our glory. Instead of the fresh, green appearance we had when Juniors, we wore expressions of profound- e.st dignity and importance. For were we not SENIORS? And did we not have to impress the Juniors with the same sense of importance which had been impressed upon us by the former Seniors? Also, some of our number returned a week early to begin the pleasant work of teaching in the ti-aining school. This required dignity, as we all have discovered. One of the illustrous deeds of our class was the beginning of the Big Sister idea. Each Senior was the big sister of a Junior. In these times of homesickness which comes to us all, and especially to the in- experienced Juniors, the big si.ster comforted and con.soled the little sister. Two well spent, happy years at C. S. N. S. have brought to us hap- piness dnd blessing too great to mention, but the friendships which we have made can never be forgotten. The words of the popular -song, I ' d Give the World to See that Old Gang of Mine, will express our feelings ten or even a hundred years hence when we look back on our Normal School days. Even though the music and words of that song may die, the friendships it implies will always live in the hearts of the Cla.ss of 1924. So, as we go, each to his prospective field of service, we shall treasure in our hearts precious memories of the old gang at C S N. S. — FnuiccH PetemoH, ' 24,
