Qeninr Gllwz-ra Ei-Iiztnrg Une summer day my friends and I, while on a sightseeing trip is the biiilglgp ful Cumberland Valley, visited the little historic town of Sl11ppensau1gg.N mul viewing Bullseye and other places of interest, we were shown aroun C pe di- School, located near the town. While wandering on the campus we We . rected to the wonderful C. V. S. N. S. Museum. p ' U Q We saw on all siees relics of those who had come and gone from this 1n- stitution. Everywhere painted on canvas, were the Life pictures of those who at one time called themselves Normalites. We were pleased from the first, but what was our delight to come upon a rare masterpiece. This was a huge .pano- ramic picture put up in a circular room, made especially for 1t. The painters, we were told, were Time and Fate, the Canvas was a Page of Life, and the title was The Exploits of the Class of ,237 NVe decided to study it closely. It was divided into four parts. In the first section the dominant color was green. In fact the first scene was a long sweep- ing green plain, over which a crowd of boys and girlswas hurrying. How childish they looked! Scarcely relinquished from the maternal arms. Con- sternation and fear were plainly shown on every countenance! . , Y et they kept on going through many ways and paths. Finally they all assembled in one spot. In the foreground we saw a kindly man with a twinkle in his eye, talking to them. By his side was a sweet faced woman. These, we were told were Professor Heiges and Miss Harris. At this point was written an inscription. It read: VVe are hereby re- solved, as seekers of a common cause, to unite ourselves in a band called Fresh- men. As our leaders we choose as. President-Paul Hege, Vice President- tluyer Oyler, Secretary-Esther Wilson, and Treasurer-Ruth Miller. And in order that we may be distinguished from other travellers, we take Blue and Gold as our colors. This we do resolve. This band then marched into a Battle of Studies. It was in dull tones and was long and uninteresting, so we passed quickly to the next outstanding fea- ture-a snow scene. In the foreground were several large sleds in which the Freshmen were loaded. How happy they looked! In the background was a city of many bright lights. . This must have been merely an interlude, however, for the Battle was again resumed. It was interrupted another time while the tired lighters planted a shrub as a marker on their battlefield. Above their heads Hoated a magnificent Blue and Gold banner with the words, UC. V. S. N. S. '23 written on it. I 'lheri were no other attractive scenes in the first section, so we turned to t ie seconc . . The beginning of this also, was a wide plain. The green, however, seemed to have toned down somewhat. Again this same little band was hurrying across, Ah! did I say the same little band? That was a mistake, for many new faces could be seen and there were old familiar faces missing. Demllil?glgg'ipliEi'ecl.uttpgcilier again, whillg the former leaders took charge and the I Q I.. .
