®t)t g taff THE DeSOTO was undertaken in response to the desire, which was prompted by the love we feel for our Alma Mater, for the perpetuation of the activities of Ole Normal. As the project gradually shaped itself in the editors ' hands, it took on some- thing like the following threefold purpose: First, to accompany and supplement the annuals of the institution, both of the past and of the future. Second, to record as nearly as possible the daily history of the students of the institution. Third, to instill in the heart of every student a greater apprecia- tion for training received while under the care and guidance of our earnest corps of teachers. For ourselves, we would say that while we have divided the labor in preparing the book, there has been close co-operation at every stage of the work. We owe thanks for suggestions and encourage- ment to more friends than we may undertake to name. Our deep obligation is acknowledged to the numerous students whose responsiveness has been an important guide in the compilation of the book ; to the faculty, who, by their valuable suggestions, have been an inspiration ; and especially to the business men of the city, who, by their generous co-operation and contributions have made pos- sible this, the 1919-20 edition of the DeSoto.

Pernor Clasisi $oem For us, this is a year of gladness, A year of sorrow though and sadness. We ' ve met, we ' ve loved and we must part, E ' en though we have lived heart to heart. But if we could, we would not stay, Protected by these walls, for aye, When duty calls and beckons us, Why, go we will, for go we must. Now some will choose a path most bright, No life-time battles have to fight ; The path of some won ' t be so smooth, There ' ll be an ache they cannot soothe. Tho ' we may roam to earth ' s four parts, We ' ll still keep in our heart of hearts The interest in our Senior class, An interest in each lad and lass. We ' ll all remember Normal School — Be Happy Here, it ' s strictest rule. Oft we will dwell on memory ' s shore, But, as a class, we ' ll meet no more. Frances Maurine Loni Page 11
