school, grew ami prospered the Alumni as it must grow and prosper in the future. At this point the application becomes personal, for since we must be competent to take up this work with our fellows, to keep the work growing, let us live more deeply and thoroughly that we may also prosper. At j)resent, the Alumni is organized to meet every fifth year instead of annually as was the custom before 1910. This change has been made on account of the greatness of the assemblage, which does not allow a handling of affairs satis- factorily in the old way. The next regular meeting will be in 1915, and by that time our organization will be vastly greater and more effective. Let us do our share! According to pres- ent provisions, there are now two officers, Jliss Helen E. l Iath- thewson, whom we all love and honoi-. is the j)resident. and untler her control the Alumni is progressing by bounds. The secretary and treasurer is ] Iiss Burney Porter, our Normal appointment secretary. And, in addition to the officers, we like to remember tried friends in the Alumni, who are faculty members. Each nauie cari ' ies a glow of pleasure to us as we recall each one. liss Dunn is foremost among them by com- mon consent, and is closely followed by Mrs. Heck, Mrs. Preston, Miss Whitice, Miss Stephens, Miss Richardson, and Miss Meader. While remembering these well known representatives of tile Alumni, we are anxious to know more of the rest and of their work, to meet Miss Foy and be inspired by her, to visit Miss JIary Stacy in her broad field and gain a part of that great life. Then, knowing more of our Alumni, we long to be a working part of it, that we may do our share. The Alumni has had one great re-union, which was to cele- brate the twenty-fifth amiiversary of the founding of the Normal school, and now it is looking forward to a gigantic reunion, which is to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary and to allow the Alumni to meet once more in the old building, for old memories are always dearest. Then, fellow stu lents, let us not forget our re[)resenta- tives in tliis gi-eat woi-ld, while we work in oi-der to take our place with them. Rather, let us study them and their woi-k so that we may gain the certain aid and inspiration whicli so noble an organization as our Alumni can not help giving us. That our Alumni may ever live and {)rosper, is our heartiest W ' fdi. lilDA ( McCOlI).
