Alumni Hack in 1906 on Commencement Day the nucleus of the present large and active alumni body which represents the growth of Wlestern Normal since 1905, was formed by the members of the second class to graduate from the school. Under the leadership of Miss Maude Grill, one of the -12 members of the class of 1906, a temporary organization was effected and a committee named to draw up a constitution. lu the fall of 1907 during the State Teachers' meeting at liattle Creek, permanent organization was completed, and Marion bl. Sherwood, at present a member of the faculty of the Normal, was elected president. To cultivate a social spirit and perpetuate associations and to promote the interests of the institution was incorporated in the constitution as drawn up by the committee in 1907. As indicated by the large attendance at the ban- quets held each year during the State Teachers' meetings and the Alumni Day celebrations every year at Commencement time, the spirit of the constitution has held through the period of nine years. There is at present an enthusiastic, strong, and helpful alumni hody more than 1,500 in number to which will be added with the class of 1916, approximately 275 life certilicate graduates.
