llcre Time panses a moment lu gaze lovingly an-l longingly at the l't'k'lll l, for he is loath to record tht- last stretclt ot the school days ol l las- lo. lhis xt-:tr was cnttrcly tlttlerent tront those which had gone lv-.-tore. lzaclt mctnlicr was face to face with new situations, bearing new responsibilities and lit-c-lining a leader in the various enterprises the class undertook. XX'ith the realization of these new duties. the class rctnrnetl to the l:tst year of its work, fttlly 4lClL'l'llllIlC4l to make a name and a place for itself in the hearts as wcll as in the records of Normal. lt was during this year that the class received its actnal training in the pro- fession of teaching. l'ntlcr the guidance of the lfaculty of both Normal and lflementary Schools. the class entered the Xlorlel School as student teachers, and put into practice the methods of teaching which the work of the previous years had taught. Dances? Yes, plenty of them, two of which were given nntlcr the able lllilll- agement of this class. ln the Spring, a Senior play, Princess Moss-Rose. transformed the dignified Seniors into prince, princess, hnntsmcn. ladies-in-waib ing. and all the delightful characters found in a fairy tale play of that kind. Then, too. the juniors entertained the Seniors at a farewell reception and banquet. lfather Time takes this opportunity to extend to the Class of 'zo the sincere appreciation and thanks of Class 'to for this last reception. Commencement came, with all its honors, its festivities and its joys. but also its partings. And so, after this crowning event of their school days, Time in- scribes with lingering pen Finis, and wiping a tear from his eye, closes the record of Class 'Io and places it with many others on the shelf called .Xlnmnae. Thus the members of Class 'Io finished their course at Normal, their .Xlma Mater, and began their real commencement in life, strengthened by the ideals gained from her. and with a broader view of life and their part in it. XYith the words of their motto, Cna Servitef' ever before them, they will strive to weave well their future pattern and make their thread a golden one among the gray of Life's tapestry .so that they may make their beloved Alma Mater proud of them-THE CLASS OF 1919.
