L. A. CLASS HISTORY. HISTORY OF SR. A. CLASS. What an unusually large, jolly and congenial class! This was the comment which circulated through the school when the original part of the present Sr. A Class entered the Normal School in the year nineteen- naught-three. The entermg class that year was unusually large because a new rule permitting only high school graduates to enter the normal course was about to go into effect, and many were anxious to enter the school before it was too late to do so, without first being graduated from high school. It was rightly called a jolly class, because its members possessed a fund of humor and love of innocent fun which, because of the disturb- ances it sometimes caused, forced the faculty to keep on the alert con- tinually. Its members showed an unusual amount of class spirit and en- thusiasm, the two things which when coupled together with a third, in- dustry, are bound to bring notoriety. Though there was no inconsiderable diversity in the age, size and disposition among the members of the class, yet in their differences were they united. For, while all appreciated fun and even mischief, they were all good hard workers and shared in the one supreme purpose of securing the most possible from the advantages placed at their disposal. Thus the class remained for two years, studying practically the same subjects, exclusive of languages, which are taken up in all high school courses. In September nineteen hundred and five, a class entered Normal School which would graduate at the same time as the class which entered in 03. Yet for an entire year the two classes were kept separate, and it was with no little surprise that the class to enter last found its ranks greatly increased when they entered their Senior B year. In the rush of their Junior existence they had not become aware of the fact that there was another set of students striving to reach the goal at exactly the same time as they were. In the Senior year the two sections were united, and the good quali- ties possessed by the four-year students seemed to have permeated the two- year students, so that it was still said truly that they were a large, jolly and congenial class. It might well be added, now that the class has completed its course, that it is as broad-minded, experienced and intellectual a class as has ever left the portals of L. A. Normal. 13

By dusty roads, ' Neath sycamores, The rusthng grass is brown and dry. The quail calls merrily: More wet, more wet! ' I hear him cry In reckless prophecy. The yuccas, liftmg golden bells. Now stand as stately sentmels To guard the summer day; The sun unstmtmg pours its rays Upon the steep and rocky ways Where cactus crackles ' neath our feet ; I hear him still the traveler greet, More wet, he pipes, more wet! 12
