easier and many of us found the useful, noble and bright side of the teacher's life. We will look back upon those days as red-letter days in our lives. In athletics, literary contests and other social affairs of the school we have taken prominent parts. In basket ball, football and baseball we have been well represented. Five of the presidents of the literary societies and two of the Christian associations have been Seniors. We all know what our Seniors did in the contest this year. Two members of our class have even been teaching in the Normal department. If you would know more about us, you will find our pictures and a short statement of our merits in the following pages. These two years have been happy as welleas instructive. We have made friends whoin we will never forget. We have come in contact with good influences which will have lasting effects on our lives. Our ideas of life have broadened and brightened under the leadership of our honored president and faculty. Though it is hard to disband, as a class, let us keep with us these high and noble ideas of life which we hold so dear, and let us indeed be veritable persons of influencef' OLIVE A.
