CLASS SONG (Tune: Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms ) Class of ' 27, all praise to thy name, For with pride we hail thee our own — And of all Senior Classes ever here known, Tis surely most worthy of fame ; With standards held high In classes we try to uphold the name so won And when success at last we have, ' 27 we ' ll laud, honor, love. O Alma Mater, in honor we raise Our voices thy name to praise, With gratitude true we sing to you ; Thy mem ' ry we ' ll cherish alway. Far away we may stray, along our way, Through sunshiny days or gray; But ever to us thy name means fame, We ' ll laud, honor, love and acclaim. SCHOOL SONG (Time: Old Fashioned Garden ) So let us all cheer for Normal, For our school and our colors, For it pleases us well Of her victories to tell And her many honors too; We have a school we are fond of And a school we are proud of So let us all cheer for Normal For the Yellow and White.

FOREWORD As the years have widened the gap between our days as students and the reality of our chosen profession, there will be cherished, in our hearts, memories of the joy and happiness we experienced at dear old Normal. For that purpose the Editorial Board humbly presents to you a record of the achievements of the Class of Twenty-seven — The 1927 Saxifrage. This is not a book inspired by genius but rather an effort on the part of a group of students to keep in our hearts the ideals and friendships possessed during our days at school. If you, who read, find in its pages joy and happiness, then we shall feel that the traditions of F. N. S. have been fulfilled. May the spirit of ' 27 always carry on!
