38 THE NORMAL LIGHT 1925 THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL The Alumni Association of the State Normal School of Elizabeth City, N. C, is a very successful auxiliary of the institution. We, the members of the association, attribute our success to the high intellectual, moral, and religious standards which the school has been able to maintain through- out these years of valuable service given to eastern North Carolina, and to other parts of the country. We are mindful of the fact that, without great and large-hearted men and women as teachers from year to year, boys and girls would not be prepared to surmount the obstacles of life. When we look around and see what the members of our association are doing, we feel proud. North and South, East and West we find hon- orable members of our association. On the farms, through honest toil, we find them feeding the world with the produce from Mother Nature. In both the country and the town we find them living examples of how to live. They are building homes, rearing families, and teaching school to the glory of our Maker. Doctors we have, relieving pain and doing the mission of the great Doctor. Lawyers have won their way to the bar of justice and are now proclaiming the legal gospel of justice for our group, and demanding the chance to show the good that is in us. From our group preachers have been and are still being called to preach the word in season and out of season. They are studying to show themselves approved unto God, workmen that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth to all men, even to the other parts of the world. Others we have who are doing their part in this program of uplift. With the hope that this brief survey may lend encouragement, let us say just this: Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, acquit yourselves like men, be strong. REV. J. R. R. McRAY, President Alumni Association. OFFICERS President REV. J. R. R. McRAY Vice-President MR. THOMAS J. RAYNER Secretary MISS MALINDA A. PERKINS Treasurer MISS BEULAH M.
