THE NORMAL EXPONENT CLASSIC REPRINT

Excerpt from The Normal Exponent Now our turn has come. For the first time we appreciate the thoughts and feelings of our predecessors, and as each day goes by they appeal to us yet more strongly. OI course, we are glad we have succeeded in making of ourselves, or in letting others make of us, what we wish to be; but we are sorry to leave our old friends, and to assume a greater responsibility than we have yet known. There have been many more things this term to affect the Seniors than is usual. Several of our friends in the faculty have left, and both Dr. Small and Miss Dunn have been ill. There were some things, however, that we could rejoice over, and most of the teachers have done their best to keep us happy, though busy. This applies particularly to Mr. Kirk. You can judge for yourselves, when you read our joshes. We want to give three cheers for our faculty, for it is the best in the land. All are more than teachers; they are kind friends to each student. Remember this fact, Juniors, for they will help you make the most of vour opportunities, if you will only let them. Only too soon you will be where we are now, perhaps with regret that you have not always done the best you could, and certainly with regret that you must leave the school you have attended so long. This is not a sermon, so please do not take it as one. Just read it, and remember that we are sorry to leave you, and we want only to leave this book in your hands to amuse and remind you of the Summer Class of 1904.
