MONTCLARION Unbehaun : Vice-President, Mintrun Peterson ; Secretary, Marion Jacobsen ; Treasurer, Margery Cruden. We have been warned that this is to be our most difficult term and do we find it so ? Yes, indeed ! First comes push-pull-day and night push pull — for way off in the distance we see a Palmer Certificate. Hygiene posters, cotton projects, Injuns and Injuns, La la here, and la la there, and multi- plication tables until we are so swamped with work we hardly know where to turn. Again we have our social activities to help us out, a Jttnior B party, a Junior A party, and a Farewell to the Senior A ' s and B ' s. Many other diversions there were too — Budget, Year Book, Rings and Pins (what a time we had). Outs and Ins (what a thrill to hear what they are doing and to realize that we are now prepared to go out in the field next September). Presentation Some have been in and are now out, others have been out and are now in. The officers of the entire Senior term are : President, Ann Brewer ; Vice-Presi- dent, Elizabeth Cheney ; Secretary, Dorothy Holman ; Treasurer, Hope Robertson. We are Senior B ' s, busy with our school work and with Class Day, which is sure to be a howling success with Kay Healy as Chairman and Miss Barrett as Class Advisor. Our project is still being carried on; no interest has lagged and we feel that if has been a wholehearted, purposeful activity, brought about by some felt need; namely, to do our best and give all we could to M. N. S. The testing of results will come next September when we hope to find each and every one of us in a class of his own, never fearing the coming of a supervisor at some unexpected moment. I wouldn ' t mind teaching all alone — If I could come back to you; You are so fine, I have you in my mind. In everything I try to do. When I look out toward the hill Where you stand, I feel so lonely, ' Cause Montclair Normal is the school for me. And it ' s her that I love only. ALMA BUSPIELL, ' 27. Page Tu ' cnty-Onc

MONTCLARION Our Project Name — Class of June ' 27 . Date — February, 1927. Aim — 1. To take up our life profession, to be dignified school marms. 2. To pile up knowledge and methods for future use. 3. To do our best for M. N. S. Motivation — June 1, 1925: . Entrance Exams — Devices : 1. English. Write a theme on the feelings of a Junior B when asked to identify 499 twigs, and find all glacial scratches within 10 miles of the Normal School. 2. Arithmetic. There were 75 Senior B ' s In, and 85 Senior B ' s Out, and all of the Senior A ' s were Out. How many would be In if the 85 Senior B ' s Out went In and the 75 Senior B ' s In went Out ; thus forcing the Senior A ' s Out In? 3. Spelling. Warning, office, flunk. Preparation — Sept. 8, 1926 The Junior B Class of ' 27 came tripping up the mountain to participate in the activities of their first day at M. N. S. We had passed the exams, and each one felt himself a unit of the great project. Every project must be launched so our officers were elected : President, Margery Cruden ; Vice-President, Margaret Mitcham : Secretary, Alice Everetts ; Treasurer, Lucia Torrey. Our first impressions of M. N. S. were most favorable. It did not take us long to get into the spirit of things. Work? We had plenty! How many afternoons we did spend chasing angleworms and butterflies with Miss Barrett and Miss Woodward ! We could name every specimen of animal and vegetable life on the campus (at least we thought so). Due to Miss Huntting we could forecast the weather and pick out suitable to go hunting — we could even wet our fingers and tell which way the wind was blowing. But all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy ; so the Junior A ' s took pity upon us and gave a party in our honor. On December 15 the Junior A ' s were entertained by us. Our first party was a great success, due to the cooperation of the group. One term gone and now we find ourselves Junior A ' s — still in the prepara- tion and eager to go on with new officers to relieve the old : President, Alene 1927 P g : ;?333S 1l
