T f T T h 922 1 «- !il}e Jnatano | [ Indiana State Normal Athletics! We tnuinph with I. S. N. S. over Pennsyl- vania ; we view her tropin- case filled with the emblems of vic- tories. Nor are athletic victories mere relics of the i ast. Faint echoes of 19JI-22 applause greet us as we look. And no history of our Normal could be complete with- out a glimpse at the fonner Sophist and the present Normal Herald ; and Memoiy reminds us of the promise of an Alumni Register. We glance at The Empanda, an 1897 ancestor of the present Instano, before the scene shifts. And then slowly and silently memory leads us to the Tablets of Memoriam. War has come! Death has passed over us, and reverently we honor the names of those who gave their lives in the Spanish American and World Wars. Taller stand the trees planted on the campus that year! And each spring the anniversary classes of the school come back. Has the dream of the founders been realized? The answer lies in the record of our alumni names — names famous in the World of Science, of Literature, and of Art. Still shine the star and crescent of the Erodelphians ; and still holds the anchor of the Huyghenians. Still stand the buildings— a memorial to their founder. Still floats the red and slate emblem. And the presence of our Miss Leonard blesses us! And Dr. Keith ' s vision inspires us ! As Memory drops the curtain, we hear the voice of a multitude chanting! Sing, oh, sing! Our Alma Mater ' s lay, Hail, oh, hail ! her color ' s streaming hue. Give to her our homage and our love, . nd to her name be true. Alice Alberta Finley. -25-
