1929 Cedrus Yearbook

Second Year Normal Snyder llutan Wigal Leach Gilmore Kennedy Jones Yaple Clark Sortman Scott Hollingsworth Page F i fty -on e “ To teach, or not to teach; that is the question; Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous parents, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by marrying (? !? ) end them.” With Apologies to Shakespeare. The Normal Class of 1929 has already decided the above question and as June draws nearer we wonder if, after we have received that long, hard-earned, coveted sheepskin, we will be able to withstand those “ slings and arrows” which are aimed toward us. When we entered college in 1927 it was not long before the faculty and others could pick out the “ Normal Class” for we have held our own at class feeds, sports, and all kinds of parades. We found our number had decreased when we returned for our second year. There were those who felt the need of teaching that “ innocent age of childhood” this year. All of us who returned pat ourselves on the back and remark ‘ quality counts. Those who are surviving have found that it has not been an easy task to remain in this “ Normal” Class, as there are so many requirements for membership. We do not dare leave a class five minutes after the bell has sounded—at least not since—well, just ask one of us to fill in the blank. We wouldn’t think of going to class with unprepared lessons—it would be worse the next day. Neither would we try cutting class to snow-ball or play “ Fox and Geese” in the winter, nor to cut class to roller-skate, even though spring is in the air. Does not this prove to you how hard it is to remain in a “ Normal” Class? For two years we have been co-sufferers together (profs included). Now looking back­ ward, we remember some hot days, freezing days, good recitations, bad recitations, dumb errors, and blissful ignorance, but we only hope our profs will forgive and forget, for we are on-lv “ Normals.” G.
