Senior History It is often said that “pride must have a fall and we take ours in acknowledging the fact that we were once “Third Years—insignificant Third Years,” However, this is no disgrace when one is so young ; it is only a disgrace when you remain so. It was during the “fall' of 1905. that we entered our beloved State Normal, and became, in the few- years allowed us, the objects of adoration by the faculty and the brotherly advisers of our fellow students. At the first class meeting, Professor C. N. Anderson, our class adviser, presided. We elected l.rnest Danly president, Charley Carpenter secretary, and closed our meeting by proudly waving the Green and W hite. In the narration of the pleasant social functions we speak gently, as we care not to make our sister classes envious. However, we had the distinguished honor of giving the first class party. This was held in the board of education room, and although there were only a few present, that which lacked in quantity, was more than made up in quality. Though we met many trials and temptations, still we fought our way through artel entered the junior year, more de- termined, and with a greater purpose in life. In girls’ basket ball, we had the strongest representation of any class. And if you will only stop a minute with us. we will tell you that we won four games out of seven that year. For a diversion from school life. Prof. Anderson gave a party to the class, Hallowe’en evening. Hut behold! They appear as ghosts and lo! ere more than half have passed over the line, we see the guards de- taining one, who, shaking violently, attempts to rush by. But the guards, suspecting deceit, remove the mask and there appears the shamed face of a meddlesome senior. Poor disgraced senior! She was immediately ejected through the back door and unfortunately found herself in the midst of a mud puddle. But here we will leave her to her fate and return to the jolly juniors who, during the remainder of the evening, en- joyed themselves by numerous, interesting games. Bidding our host good night, we returned home with a feeling that our adviser was equally as great a host. As the days passed by. we worked industriously, slipping by the spring vacation, without even a thought for pleasure, yet when the time did come, there never was a greater Junior-Senior banquet in the career of Normal, than the one of “’07 During those critical mo- ments when the seniors were giving their theses, we “Juniors” are proud to say that at the last session of chapel, one of our members gave a thesis! also, and with the necessary requirements—cap and gown. We have now come to the time when we are Seniors, wise sedate seniors, and at any time during the day as you pass through the hall on the first floor, you will see a serious senior conducting a class to some recitation room, and though the historian should not turn prophet, still as he closes his eyes, he sees a greater future for the tnembets of the class of “OS as they break awav from their dear “Alma Mater.”
