CRYSTAL in M 2' Progress: ' ' 4'Little by little they used me in their life, but at last they brought me into view by the entertainment of their Sister Class-the Seniors of the Class of '20. This important event was a fitting climax to their Sophomore year. By this time they had found a place in the heart of S. N. S. that none could take from them. Sophomores, as a rule, are more or less care-free, and the jolly, smiling faces of this class were no exceptions. Although a firm believer in the value of play, work had become a potent factor in their lives, and Development was soon to carry them on and on. The familiar echo of Hope carried them once more into the joyous realm of vacationf, ACT 111-SCENE I TIME: 1920-1921, September-March PLACE: State Normal School Father Time: Again I assumed the responsibility of this class as Juniors. It was greatly strengthened by the addition of many new members. They found themselves a jolly, busy lot, absorbed in the events of their Freshman and Sophomore years, and daily becoming more ambitious for the impress of Progress, their newly acquired friendf' Progress: '41 was at once a part ofthe Class of '22, but the greatest evidence of my presence among them was seen in the Parliamentary Law Class, which they launched and supported successfully. Their Junior year offered a 'cvariety of specialties, one or two of which will take us to the scene of another realmf' SCENE Il TIME: March-June, 1921 PLACE: State Normal School Development: al am a part of every good cause, and there is no way of preventing my in- Huence. Most effectively did I make myself felt in their Junior year by the occasional suggestion that soon, as Seniors, they would become a vital part of the Training School. Experience: This fact was impressed soon afterwards by my newly assumed role of 4'0bserver in the Training School. It was then that they became acquainted with the uwiles of Mary and Johny to whom they would fall heir as Seniors. Soon after the usual Junior-Senior entertainment, our familiar friend, Hope, brought to a close their Junior year.

As for the Senior Class of '22 which is the underlying cause of this '4EXponent of modern drama, encores have been the invariable rule, and curtain calls the inevitable consequence of their appearance. So prepare yourself with Herculean strength to lend your powers of attention to 4'The Dial of the Days which gives the life of the class of '22 at S. N. S. ACT I-SCENE I TIME: 1918-1919 PLACE: State Normal School Father Time: ln 1918 a group of girls, shy and watchful of every step, found themselves assuming the role of Freshmen at S. N. S. Field Days were for the first time in their lives the order of the day. Then too, they dreamed of the time when they should be heroes or heroines, a dream inspired by the notable Senior plays. They revelled in the picnics of their class and societies, enjoying the freedom of a care- free, rather irresponsible life. The most important feature in the life of this youth- ful class was the Pageant given Georgia Day. They represented '4Farm Life of the War between the Statesf' Little did they expect athe back to the land move- ment so soon. ' lt's all over. All work has its joy, and vacation was theirs. Soon the campus was bereft of this little Freshman Class, and Time alone was to bring it backf, ' ACT II-SCENE I TIME: 1919-1920 PLACE: State Normal School 9 Father Time: They soon became accustomed to my peremptory voice which called them once more to their field of work. Of course the routine was somewhat a dominating element for a while as things were not new any more. They still had Field Days, and even a part in the Pageant given, but in time the plot thickens and another character, heretofore vaguely subtle, appeared in realityf'

CRYSTAL ACT IV-SCEN E I TIME: September-January, 1921-1922 PLACE: State Normal School Father Time: 'cLast, but best of all, I brought them to their Senior year. They were now more than used to the calendar of events On first Field Day they carried off thirteen points victoriously. The order of the day has been varied somewhat by Theses and Practice Teaching. Also, as in each of our former years, some new character presented itself. The foot- lights were now illumined by Ambitionfi Ambition: ul have found my place in the hearts of this Class of '22, most significantly I believe, by their proverbial tree planting. As the life and growth of a tree signifies ambition and love, so the fact that this class is leaving to find its place successfully in the world signifies their ambition for the futuref, SCENE II TIME! F ebruary-June, 1922 PLACE: State Normal School Opportunity: Finally the curtain has risen upon the last scene of our drama. You have often heard it said of me, 4Don't wait for Opportunity, go out and seek it.' The Class of 522 has done this. They have brought me into their field of work, and, as they are the ones who shall help train the minds of the future citizens of Georgia, I hope to be ever at their command, a great, noble, true factor in their livesf' Experience: 1 was, I believe, the one most closely associated with this class during their 4Commencement' season. Such a happy association it was in their blaze of glory after four ,years of waiting. Senior Chorus night was a great success, as was also Class Day. The Seniors were the guests of the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, also of their sister class, the Sophomores. Commencement night, that long-looked for hour, came at last, and gave to them all the realization of their fondest dreams. At the brink of life they stand Poised, eager, serene, Awaiting their souls? command To journey along lifeis stream.
