tertaining the Faculty at tea in the dormitory. We did our best to sustain our good reputa- tion and all within our power to make the afternoon pleasant. An interesting program together with the congenial atmosphere created by our guests left us better acquainted with the Faculty than we had ever been before. Then came the Senior dance; and the jazziest of orchestras together with the peppy crowd, made the hours fly. It, too, was successful financially as w ell as socially. This brings me to the end of the history of the class of 1922. We have worked hard, had uproariously good times, and enjoyed almost every minute of our time here. To th« Faculty we extend our hearty thanks, to the Junior classes our good wishes. Here begins our life work. MARY E. PATTERSON. Class Elections Most Popular: 1. Mary Patterson; 2. Elizabeth Linson.

Class Histop? One pleasant day in September, the halls of the Normal School at Montclair echoed loudly and more loudly with the sounds which penetrated from the basement to the top floor and even into Dr. Chapin ' s private office. The sounds increased to the noisiest of con- fusion and out of them floated an occasional sentence: 1 didn ' t know you were coming here to Normal — Oh — do you remember Yes, I ' ve alw ays wanted to be a teacher, so — Then the bell — and quiet — and the steady tread of marching feet chapelward could be heard. You are right — a new class had entered the Normal School. Green, noisy, but after all a most jolly bunch we were, the class of 1922. Dr. Chapin and Miss Marshall read names and names, directions and rules — to be sure rules. Every one solemnly signed aw ay tw o years of her life in a huge book and then we descended in swarms upon poor Miss McKinley, who said over and again, That ' s in the key of G. This is the pitch. Already now — beat — beat — beat — sing. Some of us could and did — many could not but made a desperate attempt. A few more hours of getting lost and woe- fully mixed up and the first day was over. We learned one word that first week and, since drill insures permanent memory, now — as we near the end of our Senior B term, we can talk very glibly and lengthily on — pro- jects. We entered as the tide w as rising and we have surely been borne along on high seas. I fear I cannot say that we were scared and timid, as w e should have been, for 1 know we were not. Our tea for the awe inspiring Seniors, given early in the Junior B term. wa« most successful and pleasant. The Dormitory living living room which is alw ays attractive for such affairs w as unusually so on this occasion. We waited for it nervously and sighed in pleasant relief when it was over. We now had the Seniors on our side. Hilariously we kept on our course, smoothly enough, so it seemed to us. In perfect bliss, because of the unknow n aw fulness of a day of reckoning, w arnings and veiled threats passed completely over our heads. Things that had been strange we became reasonably accustomed to, and helped by a Thanksgiving vacation, w e w ere quite content; then — bang — our bubble w as burst by preliminary marks, and our shattered hopes were collected for the dash to February. Then came the holiday season, with its atmosphere of good will and pleasant mys- tery. A sketch The Landing of the Pilgrims, in which many of our class had part, was the Christmas program, and it was a most pleasant and attractive entertainment. So we came to our vacation, supposedly a rest time, but it took two weeks after we were back be- fore we quite recovered from its effects. Mid-term over and some narrow escapes, and we were Junior A ' s. We watched the Junior B ' s and wondered if we had been like them, then turned to the Senior B ' s and won- dered if we would be like them. May came with all its usual charms. It found us very deep in preparations for a dramatization of The Sleeping Beauty, which early in the month, was presented to the school. Rain prevented its being given in front of the Dormitory, but it worked out very well in the auditorium. Then we scored another point the banner for the class winning of the Field Day ac- tivities was ours. Our cheers must have echoed over the hockey field for many hours. The Seniors fought hard but to the winners came the spoils. Then, after a complete deluge of projects and tests, mingled, to quote Dr. Chapin, with tears, hysterics and screams, w e finished our Junior A term. Senior B ' s, v re left for our summer vacations. Glad? Oh — my! And Senior B ' s we came back. Glad? Well — Time has passed so quickly this year that we ourselves find the end of the term unexpectedly near. We had the honor of en- 21
