Seni» When first wo entered the Normal School As Juniors, Nineteen-three, Wo thot there never was a class So good and wise as we. We brightened every class room With our smiles and words of cheer. And every teacher wondered At the wisdom displayed here. 'Phe Seniors tried to scare us With goblins great and small Hut their efforts proved to he in vain For we never quaked at all. In all the social gatherings We took an active part, And we soon did show those Seniors That they couldn't get the start. Hut when last fall we entered As Seniors Nineteen-four We welcomed the new Juniors As they had never been before. First to the president’s olHce We did usher them with care. Next to the text l ok library Many liooks to share. Many were the teers they shed So far from home were they Hut our cheery words soon made them feel That they would like to stay. r Poem When athletic sport.-. Iiegan Wo .Seniors girls did shout. The Juniors stood as if amazed The I'reshies’ eyes stuck out. Hut never fear our boys did say Those girls are just all right, They accomplish what they undertake And work with all their might. The Seniors now invited The Juniors to the Gym, They led them thru the winding paths Where all the lights wore dim. Kach was accompanied by two ghosts Who with mournful sounds Led them to the attic Where Cicero’s corpse was found. Then we showed them to the skeleton And witches black and grim. The trembling Juniors felt relieved When we left them in the Gym. Hut in spite of all wo Seniors did These Juniors still survive And in the debate with Oshkosh They proved they wore alive. To the Seniors of Xineteen-tive Our parting words will bo Whatever you may undertake Just do as well as we. —M. P.

Senior History HE years roll by, and with each passing Spring a Senior Class bids good-bye to the Normal leaving behind them a record of their achievements. Therefore, listen ye to a brief account, where much could be written, of the Class of 1904. Four years ago, we were Freshmen; but oven then our ambitions and capable spirit showed itself. Casting aside precedent, we were the first Frcshie Class to organize and take part as a class in Hhetoricals. As an Elementary Class we also pushed to the front furnishing three of the society debaters. The following year our numbers were increased by some of the brightest products of the High Schools. We were the strongest Junior Class that this school has ever known, taking an active part in every school enterprise, furnishing eleven out of the twelve debaters in school, and sending a winning debating team to Oshkosh. After the summer vacation, most of us returned to finish our Course, to la-counted as a member of the largest and strongest Senior Class this Normal has ever known. Every school enterprise, social, athletic, or literary, has found a quota of enthusiastic Seniors ready to successfully carry it out; not however with ostentation, but with that quiet dignity that marks conscious strength and power. And as the time draws near when we shall enter the larger Held of activity we look back with pleasure over our two or four years spent in this Normal, seeing little to regret, and much to be glad for, leaving to our successors an example of jolly comradship, earnest endeavor, «nd high achievement that they will do well to equal or excel. Let us end with the toast “Here’s to the Normal! All she has been, and all we hope her to be! — C. P. Oi os.
