126 THE NORMAL LIGHT Dedication WHILE We are about to receive the crown for which We have striven so earnestly, even as We are about to say farewell to classmates and teachers, it is with profound pleasure that We think of those who have been our sculptors shaping our lives to meet our destiny. Our hearts blend in mutual gratitude when we recall one Whose life stands out con- spicuously as a guidance to young men and women. The class of 1926 dedicates, with greatest esteem and admiration, The Normal Light, to our lgeloved Vice-Principal, Prof. J. H. las.

1926 THE NORMAL LIGHT 7 An Appreciation W E do not believe that anywhere there are teachers more devoted to the students' welfare than those of the State Normal faculty. Many of them have labored with us for years with their spirit of devotion toward us and the school at large steadily increasing as the years go by. Our apreciation for this untiring service can never be overestimated. Yet on this faculty, as in other educational and social units there is one outstanding characterg one who would not for wealth, honor, or fame swerve from her chosen path of guiding the Negro youth to the highest standards of intellectuality and morality. This is none other than our proficient English instructor of the University of Michigan, Miss Eva J. Lewis. During the years that Miss Lewis had been the guiding hand of our class, she has never shrunk from giving to us her priceless advice and guidance. To the school and the community at large, Miss Lewis has been a great source of inspiration and a model of ideal womanhood. The success of many whom State Normal has given to the world may be largely at- tributed to the interest that Miss Lewis has manifested in their welfare. If The Normal Light serves no nurpose other than to indicate our ap- preciation tol Miss Lewis, we feel that its mission is comnlete. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
