He who expects a change in edu- cation, or any affair of the world, is less likely to be mistaken than he who regards all as firm and stable. Seniors, you have been trying in this, your yearbook, to contrast ed- ucation of yesterday and education of today. Are you aware of the great difference between life yes- terday and today? Now is a time when a greater faith than ever is necessary for happinessi-iwhich I wish for each one of you. Some of you are likely to become confused, dis- couraged, and even embitteredg so my message to you is one of Robert Browning's: Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure. DEDICATION With a deep sense of appreciation for the help and guidance of the past three years, We, the class of '33, dedicate this, our Manscript , to our esteemed teacher, Miss Gertrude Smiley.

lowest. It was large enough to serve in this capacity for there were few pupils to occupy it, and small one room school! houses accomodated the people of the outlying communities. ' As time went on the population increased and the people's ideals ad- vanced until more and more pupils attended school. Alumni Hall at the Normal was used for some of the pupils, until in 1914 the Training School was built. The Borough School was still usedg it was an individual choice as to which school the pupil wished to attend. The Seniors of the State Normal School taught in the Training School. In the Borough School one teacher was hired for each grade. Finally the grades were divided between these two schools, the elemen- tary grades remaining at the Training School and the Junior and Senior High School grades using the Borough building. Soon the Borough school was made into a High School, and the eight grades of grammar school used the Training School. In 1926 a still further division was made with the erection of the beau- tiful Junior High School building. This made ours the six-three-three system of school division-the first six grades in the Training Schoolg seventh, eighth and ninth in Junior High Schoolg tenth, eleventh, and twelfth in Senior High School. Our High School building is a fairly large one, situated in a beautiful spot beside the Tioga River. It was greatly added to and the education advanced when in 1929 the building to be used as gymnasium and audi- torium was erected. We are still using the same old edifice built in 1882. It has been improved and somewhat remodeled on the interior and still serves its purpose courageously. We would not have wished for any other, for we now love it dearly. We hope, however, that future generations may enjoy a new building on the same beautiful site and spacious grounds as our dear Alma Mater. l7l
