have since been giving that inspiration to others; welcome to the new students who for the first time had come to sip of its life-giving waters; welcome to all friends who had given it their loyal support and friendship ; welcome to the invited guests who came to rejoice with those who rejoiced. These guests were one hundred members of the State Legislature, who attended in a body; presidents of school boards and police juries, sheriffs, principals of high schools, parish superintendents, presidents of private and high schools, and distinguished visitors from other States. The speakers were Bishop Thomas F. Gaylor, of Tennessee, who preached the jubilee sermon; Ex-Governor Joe Folk, of Missouri, who delivered the jubilee address; President Claxton, of the University of the South, who spoke on the Mission of the Normal School ; and Governor J. Y. Sanders, who presented diplomas to the one hundred and forty-three graduates of the classes of 1909-10. Greetings were brought from- the High Schools by Principal E. S. Jenkins, of Lake Charles; from the parishes by Superintendent C. E. Bird, of Caddo; from the Louisiana Industrial School by President J. E. Keeny, of Ruston ; from the State University by Professor R. L. Himes, and from the State of Louisiana by Honorable Garland Dupre, Speaker of the House of the State Legislature. Honorable Thomas C. Barret, of Shreveport, presented a beautiful flag, which was accepted with appropriate ceremony. One of the attractive features of the celebration was the Alumni banquet. Over five hundred visitors and graduates gathered in the Normal dining-room, and in laughter, song, and reminiscence renewed the memories of former banquets while they enjoyed to the full the birthday dinner which the Normal had bountifully provided. Eight courses were served and toasts were drunk to the prosperity of the Normal in the past, the present, and the future. Suffice it to say that from beginning to end it was a successful and appropriate celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Normal. 12
