I we E TERING SECTIONS we I.S. N. U. 1903 HERE WERE one hundred eighty of us who entered school at Normal this year. We were known as Sections lf, I and L, but were called especially the new students until we longed for the time when we should have passed that stage. At tirst, we were afraid of our instructors, and niost of us were discour- aged when we canie to realize our own insigniticance and ignorance, and to know of the great aniount of Ctsuhject matter in the world. But. we went to work, employing our Wills and exercising all our Powers so that we were not overconie either hy tear or hard lessons. Ainong us are niany distinguished people, such as Calhoun, Jackson., Tyler. Taylor, Johnston and Hull. The best people of our Parish are Matthew Qsj and Sainuell. While one ol the class has Szhot-well, the only aninials we can claim are l ivons, Bevers, and Kitts. These have given us a Lively tiine. We feel that we are rich, as we not only have Cash, hut own two Bonds. We need never go hungry, for sonic of us are always eatin' QEatonj Rice, or ai Pancake. We have gone through the year without sustaining any injury, with the exception oi' two hurns,-Co-burn and Black-burn. We niiglit well choose for our class colors. Greene and Browne. We have enjoyed our iirst year here, and look back with especial pleasure to the afternoons we spent at Miss Hartniann's and Miss Gowdy's, and the evening at Mr. Colton's. We have not displayed an extraordinary aniount of brilliancy, b-ut are re- serving it, so that in a year or so, we may shine forth as seniors,-the bright lights of Elf. S. N. U. L. D.

'Ciba llnbcg By spring time the grain had all ripened And surprised l am sure you would be To see the conglomerate harvest That went by the name of HC. The Brownies stood in amazement To see the garden rare, The like has not been known before, The Boss was heard declare. VV'no would have thought that a Pickle And a doleful looking Hiles lNould grow in the field together And lavish tender smiles! Gr who would have dreamed that a Lantz Or an Oijnerman bumping heads W'ould ever he found with a Cannon In a row of pumpkin heads! And here are gorgeous suntlowers Gazing down in scorn. VVithering 'lluthill lilies And Roscoe on the Corn! A Roy-al pumpkin reaching Together the Myrtle tlower, And Nvrtle's little sister On a pumpkin looking sour! K'Sitting beneath the willow tree Bpooning by the moon quite late VVhere the Daisv rose is Climbing Are Abe and his Coi tlthll little mate. VVonderful, lilfonderful Shefller Among the pickles fair And pepperv little Craven Pulling him by the hair. Ohl Ohln exclaimed the Brownies. How Caine this wretched crop After all our care and trouble 'frving' to bring you up? B. J
