BIAS Chaplain MADEL IEN CLARK m SENIOR NORMAL CLASS HISTORY In May of the year 1925, a class of twenty-six — twenty-three girls and three boys — graduated from the High School department of the State Normal School. This class was the first to receive diplomas from the High School department of our school as such. Of the twenty-six who graduated only sixteen returned to take the two years teacher-training, two of whom have been dropped, leaving a group of seventeen girls. We began work in September of the year 1923 as Junior Normal stu- dents. Together we worked through the year, ending the year with no failures. We assembled in September, 1924, to resume our work as seniors for the second time. The same that was true of the Senior High School Class is true of tne Senior Normal Class. In the Senior High School Class there were fivt couples each having the same name, four of the couples Demg sisters, in the Senior Normal Class there are four couples, each having the same name.

1925 THE NORM AL LIGHT 69 Another peculiarity of the class is that the class consists of girls only. Since this is true it will be an easy matter to discuss, to a certain extent, the characteristics of each individual member. Ruth Burneas Cherry — Burneas as she likes to be called, tries to be a business lady. She is quite dignified and always carries an air of happiness. Inez Tullie Cherry — the younger of the two Cherry sisters, is almost a six-footer . She is forever smiling. Madelien Clark — A very quiet and studious young lady is Madelien. Her only fault is that she allows her curiosity to get the best of her. Euver Lee Greene — One of the most artistic persons in the class. Her hobby is making faces in Industrial Art class. Valnolia Greene — If you would like to see a bit of dignity, humor and wit combined, meet Val . Mary Frances Griffin is forever smiling, but she talks too little. She needs a little pep , though, to get the real joy out of living. Blanche Louise Harris — the most consistent person in the Senior Class is Blanche. If you don ' t believe it ask her about the Senior prom on Valentine Day. Janie Louise Hatch has well merited her nickname, which happens to be Mocking Bird . Martha Althea Mitchell is the person noted for changing her name. Before she finished High School it was Ann . Now it ' s Althea . What next, we wonder. Goldie Elizabeth Parker is one of those Little but Loud folks in class. She is a good scout, but what she doesn ' t know hasn ' t yet reached the Associated Press. Ethel Ruth Plummer has the honor of being the tallest person in the class. It has been predicted that some day she will be a missionary. Eleanor Louise Plummer is the class artist. She hopes some day to be the feminine H. 0. Tanner. Bessie Thomas Shields — Tom is the youngest member of the class and keeps the most noise. It is said that she even quarrels in her sleep. Evangeline Bird Spencer — Jay Bird , as Van is called, declares that her greatest aim is to be tall. The class will have to donate a pair of stilts. Lucy Permeda Wood — Pious, modest, sedate. It takes all of those adjectives to describe Lucy. But appearances are sometimes deceiving. Ha Kae Wood — Baby Kae , as they call her, says she thinks she will run for the presidency of the United States next. At present she is the president of the Senior Normal Class, vice-president of the Lyceum, secre- tary ( f the Sunday School, pianist of the Y. W. C. A., secretary of the Glee Club, captain of the girls ' basketball team, critic of the Sorosis Club, and editor-in-chief of the school paper. You know she is self-conceited. Sarah Hodis Wroten brings us to another example of grace, dignity, and modesty. She, like Burneas Cherry, Ila Kae Wood, and Goldie Park- er, is quite an official person in the Senior Class. m
