Strange as it may seem, though such multitudes of excellent things have been said about us, there are none which give a satisfactory account of our early history. However, we remember how we came to the Normal, and had the experiences that are common to Freshmen. The first year, which passed so quickly, was one of experience; but at last our bark was safely launched on peaceful waters. Then the days came when we could no longer play “Freshie,M and go according to the bent of our humor, unnoticed and uninterrupted. Alas ! we ourselves became teachers. If we departed from our dignity and took cur own wayward course we were confronted by a criticism ; our pupils met us at every turn, and we were obliged to be models for them. However, we made brave efforts, each one anxious that his work should be noted for its authenticity, which is indeed the very life and soul of (practice) teaching. Many times was the torch of science extinguished and rekindled. The glow of composition has not departed, and yet we have had to leave many places untouched which we fain would have altered. Some things may have been lacking, but the course was replete with professionals. We have improved every opportunity, and have been found as workers in every organization in the school. We may, with due rssj ect, attribute much of our reputation as a class to our worthy president, who, although he joined the ranks of the Juniors, has estiinably fulfilled his duties as our president. We have wisely discarded many a pithy tale and marvelous adventure, jealously maintaining the gravity and dignity of our class. We muse upon the past; it brightens the future which is before us. full of promise. 29
