-c - SENIOR A CLASS GREETS THE WORLD { [ Good morning, Ir. World, good morning: here we are. What h that? Who are we? Why, can ' t you recognize the Summer ' 09 Class of the Los Angeles State Normal School? Ah, that smile is better. Of course I knew you would be delighted to see us. You say we are quite a large class? Don ' t you think that ' s putting it rather mild seeing that we are one hundred fifty- eight strong. What ' s that, the whole class is decidedly handsome? We — , ] Ir. World we don ' t want to hand ourselves the orchids so we ' ll let that pass with a modest bow. However, I ' m sure that you with your worldly wisdom will acknowledge that we have brains back of our attractiveness. Yes, sir, brains, 64 oz. of grey matter, brilliant intellects, clever talents, sparkling wit. ' hy I could mention half a dozen artists, as many musicians, not a few literary people and even several sufTragetts that you will hear of some day. Besides, there is left a vast number who will doubtless be educational lights, and in days to come Dr. Terman will be quoting ] Ir. Cookman instead of G. Stanley Hall ; Dr. Gesell will be referring his psychology classes to a book entitled Matrimony by J. lerle Smith, and the English teachers will read to their classes the article Education in Relation to Blushing from Tanner ' s Maga- zine for Socially Efficient Phrenologists. The only thing that seems destined to haunt this class is that many of the girls ' names are to meet oblivion. Perhaps leap year caused this blaze of solitaires, perhaps the youth and beauty of the solitaire owners were the causes. We seem destined to graduate with a merry jingle of wedding bells. Did I hear you say, Change its name from Old ] Iaid Factory to Matrimonial Bureau? ' ' True, ] Ir. World, and I would not be able to conceal my chagrin at the appellation of Old Maid Factory if I did not realize how utterly in- applicable it is. If there were not this contradictory evidence. Old Maid Factory would be inappropriate insomuch as it suggests lack of good times, and we surely have had our allotted share of good times, ranging in character from our jolly parties to the harmonious color scheme in the gymnasium when we were Junior A ' s and wore loud stockings. But now we feel that we ' ve been sheltered long enough in that Little old red school-house on the hill . The time has passed when we hurried up the hill and into the office gasping, Miss Dunn — I-I-I ' m 1-1-late ; we have sung our last scale : dug our last garden ; cut our last class and having pre« sumably acquired that highest of all virtues defined by the much misused term social efficiency : we have written finis to our Normal School work. And now we have come to you, Mr. World. Yes, we have come and we expect you to roll over and give us and our ideas room to grow. If you do not give us room we are apt to take it, being accustomed to tak e every thing when we teach in the first grade, from chickenpox to mumps and even final exams. But no matter what a high position we may acquire in your heart, old Mr. World, it will never be said that the Summer ' 09 Class forgot its Alma Mater. Among our pleasantest recollections will be memories of classmates and teachers. You may be sure when we return to visit our Normal we will have the same cheer on our lips as when we left : — Three cheers for Los Angeles State Normal ! And a tiger for Summer ' 09. jg „ Gillespie.
