Du ring the session of the Legislatu ro, \\'inte r of 186G-7, the properLy was tendered t he sta te for a Nor mal School. In acknowledgment of tlJC gift the Legislature appropriated m oney for tho completi on of the building and an emlowment of t\\'enty sections of land in L a ncaster county . By provision of an act passed in Ju ne, 18G7, t he State Normal was formally locatecl, establish ed :mel endowed , and sixty acres of land nea r Peru was g i,路en in fee simple as a site for the school. Then was begun the Iebrns ka State Normal School. The Board of Education of said sch ool held its fi r st meeting in 186G, :mel elected J. M. McKen sie presiden t and his wife assista nt.

years th e students of the S tate Norma l Scl•ool received the whol esome stimulu s that eYer comes from a good man. It becomes our furth er privilege to speak of Mi ss El iza C. 1\Iorgan, now of A-Yon, ~ - Y., who for a Ionon period of time was Preccptrc.ss and teacher of Literature and European B is tory. H er u~crulness was not limited to those who from year to year knew h er at the State Normal, where h er good judg m ent, tact, womanly sy mpathy, and loyalty won the respect and affection of all. Through those who knew her per sona lly, her influence has gone forth to many m ore. Surely the tlel>t of grati tude which t he ~ ta te 1ormal owes to ~[i ss Morgan is a la rge one. "This lesson learned I from the shadow of a tree, whose branches to and fro d1d toss across my path-our shadow-selves, our 1i1fluences, will ~o where we can never be."

O girls th e word "dormitory" brings a variety of thoughts. Some have nn idea that it is a perfect paradi se , and others that it is an awf~ l jai l, hut really it,strik es_a happy medium. The dormitory, at least as it is known to the young lad1es of the Normal School, IS a very pleasant home. Those who live there are benefited in many ways. She who comes from a poor home has many more advantages than if li ving with a private famil y ,,路here there is only a limited n umber of girls. H ere she sees pretty rooms, pretty pi ctures, cor.y corners, fancy pillows and many little odds and end s so dear to gir lish hear ts. A spirit of friendly rivalry soon enters this girl's heart, and she, too, will try to haYe as attr nctiYe and pleasant a room as her neighbor; this soon has its good effect on the minds aml characters of sad or melancholy girls, - and sometimes there are a few, for the little informal parties g iven in each others' rooms, has a tendency to cheer up the lonely, homesick g irl , an(] soon she is one of the merriest, and as happy as the happiest . F or the selfish girl there is no bette r place Eor her to learn to live for more than herself. People soon find out wh ether or not she is sociable or compan ionable, and if she cannot forget herself enough to do for others some she is soon left alone-but then comes an inquiry which soon results in a change for the better. ~leeting with the girl s in the parlors after the evening meal is always one of the most enjoyable occasions to all. There is mu sic, singing, conversation, and occasionally some one can be persuaded to recite. Bu t there is always a lot of fun.

In the first years of this great in stitution, no honk of renwmbrance was written.

So when we kno\\路 som eth ing of the discipline that was measured out to t hose students , th e ltarLl sltips th e:路 entlured willingly, even joyously, in the hope of better things, buying nnd making apparatus for Laboratory use th em selves, and always so g r ateful for the s rnall appropriations that the state was able to make, we are not s urpri sed at Lh t' unu s ual character ' culture and refinement of the cln.sses of the presen t. The first Principal never fn.il ed to Lell the Senio rs h ow littl e tlwy kn ew about the groat sea of knowledge that lay before th em. In short, if they finished thi s school with an exalted opinion of themselves, it was not the fault of this plain old Scotch teacher. Another point was kept Yery clear all the time- namely, that education didn't consist in just so much "bo?k l ~ar~ing;" that there wa s a practical side of life, that young people had better prepare themselves for, whll e sttll m school.

For the Junior boys so gallan t, Guarded home our Junior leader, A nd protected h er from Sen iors . In th e night so dark and lonely, 'vV hen the Seni ors a ll were sleepin g , Dreamin g of their canes and J uniors ; To that place then went th e Jun iors, Where th e canes were safe ly hidden, Brought th em back unto the Nor mal, Through the woods and up th e hillsides, T o th e \Vellingtonian hallway. Th ere th ey g uarded them till morni n g, \ Vhen th ey held a general council, Planning how to use their plunder. 'vVhile they thus were calm ly planning , Came an uproar from the hall waySound s of banging and or poundin g . Soon the doors were a ll forc ed open, And th e Seni ors . mad and fu rious, Fell upo n th e peaceful Juniors, Juniors, always calm and peaceful; Tried to wrench th e plunder from them. Tried to fr ig h ten the calm J uni ors, Make th em forfeit now t hese t reasmes . But th e Juniors , always noble, Stood up bra\·el y for th ei r colors, A nd resisted th ey the Seniors, Still depri ved them of their can elets . Now th e Seniors at each mome nt, Grew more angry , g rew more furious; Ti ll the Juniors, ever thou ghtful , Saw th at any furth er using o r th ese canes would not be pleasant,

The gates of Life swung open and she entered in. \Ve d id not hear the rustle of the snowy wings which bore her hence, nor feel the breath of H eaven as it fell upon her brow. \ Ve only knew that sorrow laid his hand upon our heads and crushed us 'neath his heavy blow. Vve loved her. Ah , it wa s not strange, for her life was one of kindness. Like that othe r loved one, who left her class in '97, Clara F ergison was pure and sweet, p ure even as the lilies whi te which open at the Easter time. The little children loved her and answered the mild, sweet smi le , we too had learned to love so wel l. They li stened to the low, kind voice and felt the tenderness and affection she had for the m. P erhaps it was the sorrow in her life, wh ich made her cal m and gen tle and gave her power to understand-! know not- on ly thi s-we loYetl her - and her memory lingers with us like the frag rance of Paradise. -

Thi s class, numerically considered, is the smalles t class in th e school, but it is by far t h e brig htc::;t, fo1· seven of the thirty-six m embers have ha ir like the gold of the setting s un a nd whe n t he y ear's e xam s. are over and the g rades recorded we all shine. At our first meeting, l\Ii ss E lli s was cho ·en to be o ur g uid ing star and t he o Hker s eleded aL th at tim e a re not only from the best of the class b ut al so of Lhe schoo l. Our pres ident, Mr.l\[urphy, is from t lte E me rald I sle, yet no one wou ld be so rec kl ess a s to ca ll him grel'n. Latin is his favori te study and so em ulous is he of Caesar tlt aL although he may n e,·c r 1·eac h the Rh ino n o doubt he will "propose to Bridge it." Our l\ l u rphy is an all-rou nd man, for besides clu t i<'s "s upra dcmonstravimus" he was during the Iall term President of EYe retL , 'oeiety , and did fin e work on tho El e phant t.he entire year, as well as managing the football team du ring the season.

When, after read ing pages whose every line reflects Ll1 e geni us nnd literary abil ity of erudite Seni ors, pragmatic Juniors, and precociou s Third Years, you chance to weary of the glitter and fancy and are led to think with the wi se man of old: "all is vanity," you tu m to :mother page and behold the class of 1905 -a class wh ich is the embodiment of co urage, resoluti on ancl athletic skill-a class, which t hough young in years has the ever promi sing and hopeful fu t ure before it. Whil e we do not appear a bove th e s urface with tl1 e polish and lu stre of the classes above us, we arc reconci led when we recall t he words of our nation's late guest, "All is not gold that blink s." Th ough as yet we may not have passecl t hnt age of n atural simpl icity and youthful fri voli ty , which, our dign ified superiors indu lgently say, ch amctc ri ~e yo uth, we are not unaware of the golden opportunities which lie abou t us. In the annual preli mina ry debates we were ab ly rep resented uy fi ve of ou r most prom 1smg yo ung men. What may not our persistent effor ts bring forth in t he future? If those prophetic sages, who a re found among our upper classmen, cou ld but lift the veil of fu tu ri ty and ga~e into t he dim beyond, th ree years he11cc, we doubt not but they wo uld sec a class of such brill iant attai nmen ts that the vision would da~~l e their eyes a nd t hey would gladly extingui s h the sight with ~orne of that unused "])lotting p aper." Many of the fair maidens of th e higher classes, full y reali~ing the promising ability of our yo ung men, h ave condescended to loiter with them along the path of ra ilroad-t.rack bliss, and in many ways h ave shown their appreciation of the "souvenirs. " In the class of 1905 a re to be found yo ung m en and women who will make just s uch citi~ens as the community and s tate need, who desire to so live th at it may not be said of

fL i ~ n l1rig ht !\'fay morning and i\fother Nature seems to be fairly bubbling O\'Cr with hnppinos: and s un s lti no. I Ier songsters seem to almost burst t heir lit tle throats with their melod i c~ . The k narled old oaks am1 the spreading elms seem to wh ispe r a ~cc ret of spring as you pass, and the li Llie fl owers nod a h appy good m orn ing to yo u from the roads ide. S uch a m oming it is as I s ta r t for my vis it to t he large red hri ck bu il ding on the hill. As I st roll along I am passed many Limes by h urryi ng- footsteps nnd bright cheery fn cc ·, some crowned witl 1 s iiYer lock s and so m e with IJ rown. i\fy reverie is s uddenly inte rrupted by t he m e rry s houts of c..: h ild ren's voices, and my hnnd is cia ·twd by tl1 e little soft h a nd s o f some of my small friends I h ave seen before. I now IJcgin to \\'onde r \\'ha t part m y little fri ends can have in tl1i s bu sy cr owd of people, a nd with a few questions and a little mane u,·ering I am in\'ited to go and find o ut for myself. After a few m inu tes' h appy ch at we fi nt1 ourselves at the open doo r of the g reat sch oolhouse , for ·uch t he g rea t r eel b ric..: k bu ildi ng on th e h ill proves to he. Throug h t he la rge main doo r stream s tho long line o f older s tuden ts, but m y li t tle guides in form m e that they h a\·e a spcciaJ door, so I am concluded to a nother entrance and us hered into a nice la rge room in which I am told we are to h a ng our hats. \ Ve now enter a large brig ht room , wltere t ho walls are made beautiful with p ictu res from ou r g reat a rtis ts. A lt h oug h we have h eard that t he little s unbeam s do not run a round, we a lmost doubt th is \\'h en we see t he brig ht joyou s faces before us, a nd th e m e rry children r unning here and there. Tltese nrc mothers' su nbeam s come to play in li'rocbel's Chi ld Garden, or in native tongue tlte Kind ergarten. And what a re t hey doing? Som e a rc on a see-saw, s houting with la ugh te r as one or t he ot he r goes up, other s a re pl aying hcfl n bag or IJlind man's buff, while over in one corner is fl h appy floc..:k ol'

little m iniature ladies briskly playing house, and how happy they a re with the pretty hlue-ryed dol ly whi l'h belongs to them al l, and h ow nicely one g ives it to the other, a nd thu s through common ow ner ship leam a little lesson of unse lfi shness: One of the teachers now steps forward and as ks me if I should like to :co tht' K i ndergarten room. Over in one of t he nice la rge windows is the aqua rium which the little chihlren take e nti re charge of and in the same window is the bright yellow C:an ~ny wl lic: h anoth er set of ~.:h ild rcn take care of, and all of the windows are fi lled wi t h boxes of flowers , making (.he room gay witl t their ma ny colored blossoms. 1\nd what a store of wealt h is hi dden away in the la r ge c loset at the end of the roo m, st:issors, b right colored p:qwrs, paste, stick s, straws, beads and gay colored wcrsted ball s, in fact e\·ery thing wh ieh mak e~ childltond happy. Next I am taken to see t lt ci r garden, th ree ni ca long beds, one for each talJle, and just peeping aliO\'C tht' ground a re the onions, radi s h es and oth e r t hings planted so ea refully by the willing little hand s. As '"e again reach the Ki ndergar ten room a teacher goes Lo the piano and with a fe\r soft t hords a ll t he p laythings disappear as if by magi c a nd each li ttle chair that was empty is now occupied and e,· 0 ry little ha nd folded, \\·aiting for wh at may come n ext. Soon a hea,·y chord isgi,·en and each one stands until a marl'h is p layed, when all take their c h a irs and march to the large circle which is painted on the floor in t he eenter of room . First of a ll, good m ornings a re s ung to each other, then the li ttle ones choose other songs t hey like to s ing , a ll of \\'hich tell th em pretty s tories about the flo,rer:, bi rds, l>ees, sq uirrels and othe r li ttle ereatu res of nature they love . Then the teach er has a nice tal k with Litem about something con nected \rith the season; t hi s morning it happened to be t he bird s . Th e little ones loll Iter a ll they can, and then by q uestion s and hin ts fr om her they lcnrn many more t hings, how they lly, huw, wl tcn .mel wltero they buil d, how they love and care fo r t h e li t.Llc ones, !tow t h ey lo,·c each other and do little kind acts. E,·cn though t hesl' little c r eatures cannot talk , h ow many lesson s of lo,-e and kindness ou r little ones can learn from t hem! Li sten , the teach er is telling a pretty story a nJ th o little hands ancl feet are ve ry s till and al l en rs lis tening and a ll fa ces expectant. The story ended , t h ey again take thei r chairs and rctum to their tables. Then tltey have a Ji,·c ly marc h , r esting t ltc tired l ittl e lim bs from t heir long periocl.of sitting still.

After the m arch comes a short period of bu sy work a t the tables an<l certainly they nrc bu s~路 , each group doing work in accordance with their sir-e and capability; some are cutti ng out g ay colored birds and mounting the m, some a rc painting b lue-birds and still other s a re build ing fine bird houses with blocks. Now comes game tim e, a ll go to the <: ircle ag ain but wi t hout chairs thi s time, and what a jolly tim e they do haYe, s kipping, playing they a rc b irds, bui lding nests, drop the handkerchief and many other little games whi ch are dear to childi sh he:11'ts and wh ich they select with groat eagerness . Now comes another busy period when they all have anoth er kind of work; t hi s t im e some are weaYing to find out h ow the litLle weave r bird makes h is nest, som e go to t he wood s to see and obsen路e the birds and their n ests , while oLhers are at the snnd ta ble making nests wi th brus hwood to represent the home of the meadow lark and the prairie chicken and other liLtle birds who bui.ld on the ground. After this perior1 is oYer it is time for Ll1e liW e peopl e to go h ome, so th eir hats a rc brought to Lhem and they agai n march Lo their circle where a good-by song is s ung a.nd all s tart for home, happy and gay, calling back to th e teacher "I nm comi ng back to Kindergarte n to morrow," surely s howing they love their pl ay work. And who of us older ones could choose a sweeter or bett er life work than the g uiding of t.h ese li t tle ones in their unconscious play? EDITH L. KINS~IAN.

It is a great c red it to the Nebraska S tate Normal School that it has a n org ani1.ation within its student 1Joc1y with so large a m embe rship, the object of which is the helping of yo ung women. The You ng Woman's Chri stian Association is the la rges t and most representative student organ ir.ation iu the Normal and is composed of the yo ung women from a ll classes and departments. No work done by the association c1cserves more commendation than that done for new students at the beginning of th e year. The workiug force is centralir.cd at that time and e\路cry effort possible is made to get a hold upon the yo ung wom en aL th is critical period in their lives. Trai ns a re met and the young women are assisted in fim1ing boarding places and in every way possible to make t hem feel at home. The Young \Vo man's Chri s ti a n Associati on stands d istinctly as a religious organi r.a tion and it is to t his end that a ll the departments bend. IL is relig ious but practical. Each S unday at 2:30 p. m. is held a gospel service and young women are urged to unite with the chu rches and take a definite stand for Ch ri st . .Joint p rayer meetings of the Young \Voman' s a nd Young Men' s Chri stia n Associations are held each school day except on \Veclnesd ay wh en separate meetings a rc he ld. E a rl y in t he year Bi ble classes arc organized when students form th e habit of daily devotion al study and gain a knowledge of t he Bible. Missionary meetings are held one Su nd ay in every month at which time topics on home and foreign mi ss ions are s tu<1i ecl. Practical mi ss ionary work is don e in aidi ng the support and ed ucation of a little girl in Chi na. A neat h andbook is publi s hed by the Young Men' s and Young \Voma n' s Chri stian Assoc iations a nd is ready for <listt路ibution at the beginning of each yea r. Thi s is a bundle of infor mation and greatly in demand by all students. Socia ls a rc h e ld regula rly \\路hen the g irl s a rc brought together a nd become better acquainted and more interested in one anoth er's liYes . The association is becoming more and more a factor for good and is reach ing a greater number of th e s tudents each year .

The ,·ery s piri t of the society is evinced in its nam e, Philo mathean. By analys is \\·e find that it is cleri,·ed from two Greek words s ignifyi ng "Lo,·e of Learn ing." Thi s o rganizat ion s upplies that which cannot ue h ad in the sch ool prope r for pe rfect development-development in its broadest sense. BelieYing as we do in th e necess ity of s im ultaneous growth of all t he faculties , liberal p rovis ion is made for all. T he u ram a tie is deve loped by the oceasiona l ren d ition of dia logues, comedi es ancl panto m imes. 1\ [usic, Yoca l and instrumental, a rt p rogmm s and tableaux con tribute to t he acstl 1ctic nature, while prose recitation s , int e resti ng narrati,·es and familiar poems constitute a pleasing feature of the li te rary program . The <lemand s of the social life arc adequately met in t he occasional socia l, whieh lend s variety to t ho regu la r program and giYes enj oyment as well as culture. Phi lo Hall is a s paeious room on third Aoor, well furn is hed and lighted uy the electri e plant. From no othe r roo m in the bui ld ing is it pos s ible to obtain so lJeau t iful a Yi ew. The fi rs t to be organ ized, the Philomathean has remained t he st rongest ancl best society in the State To r ma!. T he loyalty of its m embers and t he eq_rnestness of purpose wi t h whi ch they support it keep it at the h ig h s tanda rd whieh it ha s sot for itselL Long Jiye th e Ph ilomathcans .

One of t he new feniures of th e Nebra ska State Normal, but not by any means the least important feature, is th e athl etic departm ent. For many year s ath letics have had n more or less important and prominent place in our sch oo l life, but early in the te rm of 1901 a new dete rmination seemed to seize the students and faculty, and it was unan imously decidP.d that athletics shou ld receive a more prominent place in the c urriculum of i he Nebras ka State .r orma l Sch ool. According ly, a cnnvass was made of the school and facu lty and, after a few prelimin ary preparations, work was begun upon an athletic field, situated just east of the main building. Aetna! wo rk was begun u pon tl1e new field by the fi rst of No,•ember and, in order that the n e \\· g rounds mig ht be ready for ded ication by a game on Thanksgiving, twenty teams were employed a nd kept constnntly a t work in order to have the g rou nd s in read iness for that occasion. As a dedicato ry e,·e nt a game of football was drawn up between Falls City High School and our team. If the resul t of the game is a criterion fo r the future of a thletics in the Sta te Normal, we can certainly prophesy a brilliant and promi s ing caree r in the years to come. During the first half the gnme was warmly contested, but in spite of Falls City's fi er ce oppositi on the No rmal scored five touchdO\ms. In the beginn ing of the last half, ,-i ctory seemed imminent and thi s expectation wa s more than fulfilled, for when time was call ed, "·ith the ball on Fall C ity's LJO-yard line, the score stood, Normal 30, Falls City 0. Just pr e,·ious to the footba ll game, a spirited g.tme of ba sketball was played by two of the lady teams of the school lJetween the Orange a nd the R ed, in which the Orange sco red 15, the Red G. Thu s the new athletic fi eld was dedicated to the State Normal School. The n ew ath letic fie ld wl1 en fully co mpleted will be one of the best athl etic fi elds in the \Vest, for, surrounded on a ll s ides by a natural amphit!J ea te r in \Vh ich nature has so bountifully done her part, ce rtainly no more appropriate s pot could be selected in a ll Nebraska. \ Vith tl1e dedication of t he n ew athletic field, athletics seized the school in a manner not to be appreciated by tJwse attending t he school in forme r year s. During the fall term mu ch attention was paid to foot-

ball and basketball. Our footlm ll team as lined up was ,路cry strong and did som e excell ent work for the Normal the past season. Games were played with the fo llowing schools : Lincoln H igh School, Au burn Jligh School, Nebrns ka City Hig h Sclrool, Harnlturg Hig h Scl rool, H a mburg, I owa , Fall s Gity High School, \\' coping \Vate r 1\ cadcmy, Penr. The total sco ring fo r and against our team for t he pn.-t scnson was G7 to -!G . Of th e number of games played by out路 team t hey were Yictorious in fi ve . Th e prevailing fad among the ladi es during th e fall was haskcthall, and scYeral spirited ga m es were played between th e organir.ccl teams of th e school. T eams were o rgani r.cd from the two hig her cl nssl3s of the school, the Seniors being represented by t wo team s and the Juniors hy o ne. Du ring the spring te rm much attention was gi yen to tenni s ns in former years, but t h is year t ho old g rounc1 was unable to accommodate the demand and a new court has been eq uipped . Al so, baseba ll lras rcceiYed much attenti on . Several spi rited games were played by the variou s classes and much cla ss and college spirit was s hown . A team has been organ ized to represent the school this season anrl scYeral gam es have been sched uled with other schools . Considerab le prepa ration is being mad e fo r n field day contest, "路hich will take place the last week of the term. G YRUS

And help them catch their little fish This was all t hat they could wish, Fishes old and fishes you ng, Bit so fast t hey didn't catch o ne . Eight little girls one autumn day \>Vent a-fishing far away, Se\路en little boys in th e Senior room Met these g irls just before noon.

0 yes, they did , they caught a few, vVith them they kn ew not what to do, So back to the pasture then they went Where the dinner hour had been merrily spent.

\Vith baskets of lunch and fishing line These boys and girls went o ut for a time, Pickles and salads they had a long And plenty of onions good and stro ng.

Here t hey engaged in happy games All of which was a joy to James , Drop t he handkerc hief they played that day; Many a t ime th ey caught Mr. Ray.

Watermelons, sandwich es and cake Of which Mr. Ben gston did partake , Angel food and ki sses too; Munday said , "I'll take a few."'

Buckley a nd 'W illiams, their on ly lot Seemed to be in the bi g mush pot, Looking in vain for so me one to rob , While around the ring the others did bob.

Devi led eggs and apples ripe Which a ll t h e boys did try to swipe, Plenty of candy, brown and reel vVith wh ich the gi rls wer e freely fed.

As then the shadows b egan to fall They t hought it time for one and all T o take their basket, bucket and hat And hurry ho m e and all of that.

Dinner over , the table cleared, 'Twas the n t he company di sappeared, Down they went to the fish ing pond Where every one with bait was iound.

And when the lake they left behind They knew not what they were to find, Little thinking through their harmless fun Any trouble at all could be done.

T hi s ba it they used to catc h t h e fi sh While those at home did naught but wish 0 that I could be along, And sing with them their littl e song.

But whe n in the mail they chanced to look Each o ne fo und a little fish hook, On this h ook there was a bow, What thi s meant- well they did n 't k now.

The class of 1902 will ever be remembered for t heir numerous a nd meri to ri ous contributi ons to the literary world in the form of text books which are univer sally used in t he u p-to-date schools and college::; of today . The early training a nd inspiration receiYed from ~Ii ss Elli s has resu lted in the publieation of Barnes' Histories and Geographies, Abbott's Hi stories. The Old . outh L ea fl ets, Schmidt's Histori es of Greece a nd R ome and Henderson' s Selected Documents. Only one mathematician has turned his atten tion in t hi s direction, but Ray 's Arithmetic and Algebra do ample justice to t heir author. The class boasts also one egyptalogist, Wilk in son 's Materia Hieroglyphicn being an ac kn owledged authori ty . Mu sica l talen t is " 路ell represen ted by Cowan's "Rose i\Iaiden" cantata, the J ewell song in Faust, and several hymn s by Bridges. In the scientific li ne are Buckley' s U'airy Land of Science, \Villi am's Ch emi st ry and Ray :s Astronomy a nd we all use the Bell telephone, though there is no Bell T ext book at present. The Norm al, of course, must produce some educational works, foremost among them, J ames' Psychology a nd Will iam s' History of Education. Sears' Political Growth is our one representative in the realm of political science while Nelsons' F<lsts and Festivals is one of the ea rlier relig ious wo rk s. In t he line of romance, however, much one may doubt it, a ny one can find in t he encyclopedia of authors, that Munday is a t ran slator of romances and a maker of ballads, and T ynon the auther of "Ly rics a nd Ballads:- Oh! wh at a plague is love!" The decision in the Sam pson-Schley case shou ld gh路e th e n ame of Dewey prominen ce fore,路er, even if the Mani la Bay incident did not. And of course every one h as read Miss Wilkin s' s ketches, n oYels and short stor ies.

HIS page is dedicated

Professor S. L. Caldwell, wh., has always been willing and eager to assist in the work on the "Annual." H e has contributed to the a rt portion of the book , not only by personal work, but by directing the work of individual artists of the student body. To him I S extended the sincere thanks of t he to

GoLDE ::-.'ROD B o ARD.

O all who have so earnestly and faithfu lly lent their endeavors toward furthering the work of the "Annual," and by personal labors have contributed to its interest. The GoLDE~ROD BoARD desires to express their g ratitude.

Go, Goldenrod, on your way, Bearing sunshine and gladness to all; Refreshing the memory of each In whose hands you may chance to fall. Bid each, as he scans the page, Not to view with a crit ical eye All the faults he may find as he reads, But suppress e'en a fault-finding sigh.

The Goldenrod Board has toiled hard To make you at least of some worth. Though ~uccesso rs may on you improve, It was Nmeteen-two gave you birth. With the heartiest words of cheer And trusting success attends you,' The Board and the Senior Class Now bid you a fond adieu.
