18 THE SEQUELLE 1927 Our Normal, Continued Our Normal is the beautiful heart of one of the most charming little towns of Pennsyl- vania. Here high and verdant hills lift their massive tops into the blue of a pure rain- washed sky. The bracing highland air and the magnificent scenery inspire one to dare and do. Our school could surely have no better location that it has in beautiful Clarion. Clarion State Normal has always been progressive, giving its students the best of modern advantages and improvements. From its earliest days it has met the new ideas of education half-way, providing those courses and that training needed by its students. Its buildings and its surroundings have not been neglected at the same time. They are very attractive. We Seniors are truly happy and proud to say that Clarion Normal is Our Normal.

1927 THE SEQUELLE 17 Our Normal In the pre-automobile days of 1886 Clarion State Normal School was established by an intelligent and educated State Legis- lature. Enthusiastic citizens of the Clarion district contributed forty thousand dollars to the state ' s appropriation and Clarion Normal came into being at once. Since the formal opening of the school in April, 1887, it has ranked with the best of all teacher training institutions. Eight generals have commanded the student body of Clarion since then. It seems like ancient history to think of them, altho each had his part in making Clarion Normal the honored school that it is today. They have built an institution of which we shall always be proud.
