22 THE NORM 1919 SPRING time in this lovely valley brings to mind these lines fromjuliet Wilbur-Tomkins 'fFor All These :, E ' , ' ' ' ' V 'S I thank Thee that- the sight of 'sunlit lands and dipping hills, f The breath of evening grass- ' And wet, dark rocks and flowers in my hands Can give me daily gladness as I pass. I thank Thee that I love the things on earth- ' Ripe fruits, and laughter lying down to sleep, The shine of lighted towns, the graver worth . Of beating human hearts that laugh and weep.

Gln the Svtuhrnt Enhg nf 1919-1919 I MANY of you will be leaving the Normal this year to go out and do your bit in the world, and my wish for you is that all the following poem suggests may fall to your lot: KK At the turn of the road There'll be luck to spare, At the turn of the road, Silver and gold and a dream to share And a host of sunny, sweet days and fair And all that you wish for most out there At the turn of the road. MABLE G. WEST, Librarian. Grerttnga tn 131111 All JESSICA TODD, 4 Dean of Women. I SHALL not soon forget the many pleasant times I have been privileged to have at the Ore- gon Normal School this year. Begun under the heavy cloud of war, the year has closed in the full light of peace. My camera has recorded scenes which will be treasured as the years roll by. But most of all the indelible impressions made upon my memory by the friendships formed during the year will be cherished. To feel that I have been a part in helping some care-worn student, some discouraged straggler, to find the joy of living, amply repay me for any effort I may have exerted in connection with my work. The biggest thing I shall carry from this school year will be the thought, behold how blessed it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. God-speed to the Norm and its able man- agement. L. P. GILMORE, Head of Science Dept.

O NORMAL, be thy spirit strong and pure, r Like broad Willamette flowing down alone, U As onward ever onward it is thrown To gain the strong Pacific as its lure, ' The goal for which it bendeth all aside, Its shifting banks and fairy, green-like isle, It trav'leth to the ocean mile on mile, Presenting wealth untold, it e'er doth glide. - . May thy ideal ever high and true To future students, as it was of old, ' A guiding spirit ever brighter be, As in the gleam of early morning dew. May thus the hopeful prophecy be told, Of gladness, joys and glessings, all for Thee. I MRS., GLADYs BOISE STOMBAUGH, Dept. of Public Speaking and English. Gbnmarh in Hirtnrg Girls to right of me, Girls to left of me, Onward to victory, Marched the two hundred. ITH an a olo for the arod I sa All honor to the irls. Not onl to the irls of W P gy rv Y, Y, . g , Y g , the Oregon Normal School but to the girls everywhere, who have arisen and are coming forward to meet the needs of the present as well as future generations. - Through my association with the students of the Oregon Normal, there has been unfolded to me, more and more, the value of education and the need for the widest interpretation of its meaning. Education with a soul in it, as one of our speakers told us. To watch the gradual giving away of old ideas and the adoption and appreciation of the progressive era in school affairs, as elsewhere, has been an inspiration. With greetings to The Norm and a prophecy of success for the graduates of the Oregon Normal School, I am , IDA H. HOLMES, . Department of Mathematics. IN ANSWER to the unspoken thought of the moment a silent witness of my dilemma for something to write about, urges, Speak your keen pleasure in things western. And why not? I am sure I radiate it continually. Even the everlasting rain has failed to quench my enthusiasm for it. To be able to leave your furs in their tar-paper wrappings during what is usually termed winter, to pick violets on Christmas day, to waken to the song of the lark in january when you had not expected his serenade until juneg to display in extravagant profu- sion such beautiful flowers from local gardens that the Middle Western friends would think you are on the mailing list of the city florist-all this is surely worth a record in the annals of a Badger.
