THE XORMAI- I TE CLASS AM- 1927-28 'EST hnieg it isfinished. The very words are like bells tolling us back from the pleasures of Normal Life to the reality and insuffi- ciency of our own individual lives. So pleasant has been our year, and so swift has been its passage that one cannot help but wonder as did Keats in years gone by. 'illimas it a I-ision, or a waking dream? Fled is that lTlllSfL'.'iD0 I wake or sleepf' When first we entered these portals, secure in the thoughts of our ability to teach, it was with many doubts and much skepticism con- cerning the actual value of Normal Training. lvlany of us considered it in the light of a necessary evil, some of us thought we had come merely to learn some pedagogical theories, which we would promptly forget as soon as we had received our certificatesg still others didnt know why they came. and cared a lot less. But it wasnt long before a change was noticeable, a change wrought by the skillful tutoring of the Normal School Faculty. All the vagaries of high school life, all its aimless wanderings, all its lack of definite purpose gradually gave way before the definiteness and purposefulness of our studies, and the imminent reality of our own venture upon the sea of life. And now we have come to the end. But no, we must not feel that this is the end. Rather, let us realize that we have arrived on the threshold of a life made richer and fuller by the experience gained and the friendships we have formed, some of which will last a life-time. Therefore, let us not look longingly back on what we are tempted to call the good old days but, cherishing those things that have gone before, let us endeavor to press earnestly forward for the mark ofthe prize of the high calling we are about to enter.-D. MCW. CLASS HA ACTIVITIES lt can never be said of Class A that it lacked interest in any of the many phases of Normal School life. Nor can it be said of us either, that in any of these varied activities we were not on a par with our friends in the other four classes. Our seasons activities were httingly opened by an afternoons sport at City Park. ln the competitions between classes our girls were successful in winning second in the hundred yards dash, first in the shuttle relay and second in the baseball schedule. The boys kept up the good work by winning first place in the hundred yards, first in the relay race and second in the baseball event The results in the class songs and stunts were not definitely decided. A few weeks later our class held a cornroast at River Park. Pre- vious to the feed out appetites were whetted by our participation in a strenuous game of baseballg while after it we alleviated the pains of gluttony by sweet songs of thanksgiving, accompanied by the dulcet strains of a ukelele. We thoroughly enjoyed the presence of lvlr. IVIC- INTOSH, who kindly accepted our invitation to attend this outing. Cf our dances during the year, little need be said. The heavy demand for tickets is the best testament to the spirit of friendship prevailing at, and to the ability of the committees responsible for the arrangement of these functions. Nor in the matter of dramatics do we feel that we have been out- stripped by other classes, ln fact our playet Neighbors met with such fine approval that the cast was requested to reproduce it for the benefit of the old folks at Ivliddlechurch. The personel of the cast, which gave so generously of its time and energy is as follows 2- LAURA HoLMEs, MONA CROUT, MARION SOLLY, JULIA LOTHROP, IRIS STEXVART, DORIS ANDERSON, NELLIE GREENBERG. JAMES HAMM, WALTER WALKER, A. WILLIAMS, Director. During the winter months our athletic programme consisted chiefly of basketball and curling. In the basketball contests, which were regulated according to a fixed schedule, our teams were fairly successful, being beaten only by teams from Class E. Sometime in the near future, say ten years hence, when the grads are all old crocks, we hope to retrieve our losses. Until then, R. I. P. SARGENT CARROLlS folk dancing classes have been the source of much additional pleasure to those who are fond of this type of dancing. On the visit of Miss l-loBBs, leading exponent of Old English folk danc- ing, a set from class A was chosen to demonstrate, showing that even in this line of endeavour we are not lacking in talent.
