EVERGREEN —1926 Class History Hazel Jenkins The history of the class of 1926 rightly goes back to the early years of the twentieth century. During that period thirty beings were born whose destiny it was to travel varied paths until kind fate brought those paths together at the doors of a newly completed building, the Maryland States Normal School at Salisbury, on September 7, 1925. Those beings, proud of their standing as seniors, looked back on ex¬ periences that differed widely. Many had had a few short years of teach¬ ing experience, and had studied at summer schools, while others had tasted their first of normal school work and play at another school, our sister school, at Towson. But their outlook was the same. They saw a field rich in opportunities where they could establish precedents, ideals, atti¬ tudes and traditions in a school where all was new, and the beginning of activity meant history. To that purpose, then, within a few weeks, senior initative became dedicated. At first the class was divided i nto two sections, Senior 1 and Senior II, which remained distinctly separate classes until the beginning of the second term. For a time the extra curricular activities of the two sec¬ tions were confined to parties which were a medium by which the members of the student body became better acquainted. Most noted among these was the party given by the senior to the junior class. The organization of classes, clubs, and societies followed close upon the heels of the first month of school work, and marked an epoch in school his¬ tory. These, particularly the literary societies, gave the vim and zest that only group competition can inspire. And members of the senior class were active in the formation and work of all the clubs. The latter part of the first part of the first term saw the institution of a different sort of organi¬ zation, the Student Council. This has been most helpful in avoiding the friction often caused between students and faculty by misunderstandings not brought to the attention of both factions concerned, and threshed on common ground. During November the seniors as part of the Children’s Literature work wrote Thanksgiving pageants to be presented by the pupils in the elementary school. The better one, “The Spirit of Thanksgiving,” written by Senior 1, was accepted and produced. Members of the class helped to train the groups and, also, to make many Thanksgiving activities, this marked the end of the first term, and the last of last minute tasks had to be hastily done. The week-end preceding Thanksgiving has been called “The Weepy-Week End” because of the frequency of tearful coun¬ tenances in the halls. Perhaps term tests played some part in the above. However, the last few days before the holiday cleared the skies, and the first term ended happily. The second term ushered the seniors into rural practice teaching for which they had been partially prepared by the directed room practice of the first term. Many a heart grew heavy, and many a mind grew tired at the innumerable tasks which seemed to pile up. Sufficient seatwork of educational merit seemed to be everybody’s main difficulty. A trip down the halls of the dormitory nearly always revealed some sort of educative seatwork in the making, and a trip into one of the rooms meant finding no Page Twenty-Four
