Song Down across the bog and glen, Hear my dreams calling! Calling me from the marts of men ; Crying, Come, come, come! See, the night is falling! Do not fear the fog and darkness. Or the banshee ' s keening; You shall find us, you shall know us, By the marshlight sheening, Do not tarry, do not tarry ! We your load will lift and carry! Yet again from moor and fen. Hear my dreams calling! Far across the violet hills Hear my dreams calling! Calling still from peak and hollow, Follow, follow! Night will soon be falling. Do not fear the looming shadows, Ghosts that line the valley ; When yo u meet us, when you greet us, Forth they ' ll dare not sally. Do not linger, do not linger! Beckoning me with dewy finger, Far across the twilit hills Hear my dreams calling! — Lily Peter. 28

Class of 1926 The class of 1 26 marks an epoch in the history of the West Tennessee State Teachers College. It is the first class to receive de- grees from this institution. It is made up of a body of conscientious workers, prospective teachers. They have passed through the various stages of acquiring an edu- cation. Some have been initiated into the societies with all the attendant thrills. They have enjoyed four years of uninterrupted college life. Others have been enrolled at intervals. These are teachers of experience and because they have had to wait long and work hard, they appreciate the degree. All of them are grateful to the institution. They feel that it has done something for them. The roll is arranged in alphabetical order. Some names ap- peared in the 1 25 De Soto as Seniors, but when the institution broadened its scope they returned to finish another lap of their scholastic journey. Herbert Grills has served the class as President, He has been interested at all times in the welfare of the class, and therefore in the advancement of the school. The Seniors have taken an active part in college activities. The members of the class have been office holders in the various literary societies, stars in athletics, and prominent in the work of the Student Honor Council, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. The class has been loyal to the institution while they were members of it. They will be doubly interested in its welfare after they leave. Realizing what it has meant to them they will give their Alma Mater their enthusiastic support in her larger program of increased efficiency and service. 30
