THE VOYAGE OF THE CLASS OF ig14.
Four years ago, off put our good ship Fate,
Upon the
flowing sca. of knowl
Four yet ss this vast estate
the time required to ¢
With aid of steady aim, hard work, and courage.
Sometimes we anchored at a foreign port,
Upon a rugged const sodark and dren;
Sometimes we sailed along to a resort
Where Joy and Sunshine played with Mirth and Cheer,
Although the wild waves dashed and seas were high,
Or the kingdom up above had lost its blue,
Our loyal Captain was forever nigh,
Assisted by the members of our gallant crew.
When down the stream of Time we set our sail,
Although our ship against the rocks was cleaving,
Our Star of Hope looked down and said, © We shall not fail!”
Alma Mater! Your sweet memories set us grieving!

132 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1or14.
They
are cor
y that there is nothing new under the sun, Perhaps they
sect in making such a statement, but we think that we have
something at least very much out of the ordinary here tonight —
that is, our Class of 1914.
We were an unusual class to begin with, because we were so
large. Do not infer from this, that the individuals were Jarge —
indeed they were not—but there were so many small bits of
Freshies, that taken together, they constituted quite a large infant
class — the largest that had been known to this school for some time
previous. Even the Faculty recognized our superior qualities, for
before long, they transferred some of us to the Senior study-hall,
there to spend the vest of the year, They said it was because there
wasn’t room for all of us in the hall usually allotted to Freshmen,
but we knew it was because they wanted the Seniors to have the
henefit of our close companionship,
That first year we had a very
Freshmen are, and for that reason, we had a party on St. Patrick’s
Day, of which we, and the Faculty also, still retain pleasant memo-
We dutifully supported the “ Crimson and White” (that’s the
school paper) and alway:
all good Freshmen should,
In the due course of time we moved across the hall and undertook
the weighty responsibility of being Sophomores, We felt awfully
hig, then, even bigger than we do now, but we really didn’t have as
much fun as we had had first year, You see, we were no longer
Freshmen, to be teased and petted by the Seniors, and not yet
Juniors, to share in the fun. It was similar to the ease of the suf-
“no longer a woman, and not
good time, but we were green, as all
donated liberally to ev
y school cause, as
vette, who is described as being
yet a man,”
But the next year we had lost several of our members, but our
class was still large. We had grown to know each other well, now,
and we showed it when we made our choice of class officers. In the
middle of the winter we gave a wonderful veeeption to the Seniors
which we enjoyed immensely, Of course they did likewis We
had by this time discovered that Prof. Sayles is not such an ogre,
as he himself is sometimes wont to pretend, and that the Faculty
ally “do have a heart.” So we frequently took the liberty of
retly devouring onr Inches behind our desk covers during haif-
hour sindy period, and were continually attempting to prolong our
recess by several minutes, the result of which was that we suddenly
doveloped such a love for school that we couldu’t go home until an
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 133
hour later than usual. Our first two years had been years of toil,
mostly, and our report cards bore record of the fact. But when we
beeame Juniors, we discovered that we were tired of always seeing
just A’s every ten weeks, and so we speedily began to remedy that
defect and to obtain a greater variety of marks. I remember one
incident which may illustrate how energetic we were that year:
One day Prof. Sayles, on coming into study hall, was surprised
to find Chester Blauvelt leaning up against the wall, although there
were several vacant seats. “ Why don’t you sit down, Mr. Blau-
velt?” inquired the professor sternly, “ Well, sir,” replied “ Tke,”
“T would, but its too much trouble to get up
The Seniors liked to say that we were “ nothing but Juniors ” and
they didn’t mind us, but they were forced to change their minds
when we beat them out of two } that year. The Pruyn medal,
for public speaking, was captured by Nelson Covey, while “ Polly ”
ran off with the Buchanan medal for the best English essay. So
you see, we could both talk and write well.
And then, in the natural course of events, we became Seniors.
That name in itself implies dignity, but, althongh we have done our
best to impress the underclassmen with a due sense of ow superiority
and preeminence, in spite of all our efforts at austerity, we seemed
to have sueceeded in inspiring them, not to awe and reverence, but
to love instead,
This, our last year at dear old Normal — at least we hope it is
our last — has been the fullest, brightest, and happiest of all. We
have worked, it is true, but we have toiled with a more steadfast,
unchanging purpose than ever before, and we feel confident that
our labor shall not have been in vain. T do not mean to imply, how-
ever, that it has been all work, for surely it has not been so, Early
in the winter the Junior class gave us a lovely reception, which we
all enjoyed, and then we thought we would have a party just for
ourselves, and so we did. Which one of us can forget that happy
afternoon, in connection with which we shall always remember Prof.
Sayles who, as always, helped us to have a good time. To-morrow
we expect to participate for the last time, as Normal students, in
the annual school pienic, an event ever to be hailed with joy and
great expectation by all Normalites.
Up to this time we had been working and waiting for an oppor-
tunity to come when we might show our friends what a remarkable
class we really are. This year our hopes have been realized. In
the early part of the year we had the distinction of sharing in the
rewards offered by the N. Y, S. Historical Association. Competi-
tion was open to all schools in the State, five prizes were offered,

gain.
134 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
and the Class of 14 feels justifiably proud in saying that it won
two prizes and an honorable mention. Not satisfied with taking
State prizes alone, we immediately set to work to capture some of
those offered to Albany schools. Perhaps you have noticed that the
long suit of the C of 714 is to accomplish whatever it attempts.
And we didn’t fail this time, in the prize competition offered by the
Albany Banking Association, for our essays took two prizes and all
honorable mentions. Those who brought us this honor were Kath-
arine Pollock, who took first prize, and Eleanor Dunn, second, while
Ina Speed, Frances Vosburg and Helen Page received honorable
mention.
Nor did we stop here. A greater honor was still to be won. When
the next essays were announced we thought we would surprise the
other schools and bring glory to Old Normal, so we just walked off
with all the prizes offered by the Sons of the Revolution. The proud
winners this time were Elmetta Van Deloo, Marguerite Clark and
Eleanor Dunn. Not to make any hard feelings, we let the Juniors
have the honorable mentions. We hope that they will profit by our
good example, and next year do as well as we have done.
We don’t like to brag, but you can see for yourselves how much
the Faculty hates to see us leave, as even they realize that we have
developed into the glorio which we bade fair to become, when
we entered this institution, We have finished our course, we have
done our best, and there remains but one more event to be added to
those already recorded, and that is the most important of all—our
Commencement. On June 22d we expect to be graduated from this
best-loved school, and with that great event, will close the history of
an illustrious class, our class, the Class of 1914.

THE PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1914.
T have been summoned hither by the earnest prayer of this illus-
trious Class of 1914. Met by the Vergil class during their wander-
n Tartarns, under the leadership of the prophetess Johnsonia,
persuaded to come here for the express purpose of revealing
what is destined for each one.
Silence, I pray you. The globe has become clearer and T read
therein the future of the valedictorian of the class, Eleanor Dunn.

essay entitled, “The peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper
picked was a peck pickled by Peter Piper’s mother.”
Now, in my globe, I behold the fair salutatorian, F. Marion Me-
Dowell. Early in high-school life, she evinces an amazing interest
in poetry, especially in Milton, who will be successful in holding that
interest. Also, as she is musically gifted, she will become Pade-
reweski’s greatest rival, carrying a fifteen-thonsand-dollar insurance
on each finger. Such a waste of money.

Vosburgh will take this up as her life-work. Ter songs of quench-

What is this? A cat, a teapot and a ball of knitting
rising sun and a row of lovers. He shall be of pl
and peace and I am safe in predicting that Marguerite Clark will
be an old maid.
Now I behold the guide and counseler of our out-of-town friends,
Dorothy Himes. Throughout her college life, her message shall be
“Union forever!” After they are both graduated, it be union
forever,
There unfolds before me now a page from a book of “ Famous
Sayings.” T shall read a little from it. “I’m not a bit conceited,
Why, I don’t think T’m half as clever as I really am.” “ When you
know that what you know is more than what anybody else knows,
know enough not to let anybody else know, especially in American
History Classes.” That book will win great renown and place
Eugene Molitor among the world’s great writers.
There is excitement in the air! In my globe T can see that an
Olympic is being held. Here come the two that outstrip all their
opponents, Race and Speed, a very fast team, Splended work, gir

And now I see the stalwart form of a man standing on a plat-
form and lecturing with all the vigor of our friend Teddy Roose-
velt. ’Lis John Butler, who has become a famous orator and whose
favorite speech is “ What I would do if I could repeat my High
School course.”
A diploma and a piece of wood, Their meaning? The diploma
is the result of Lillian Magilton’s four years in college. The sum-
mer following her graduation Lillian, to the astonishment of all,
will take a course in forestry which is later explained when she
assumes a life-interest. in Wood, of a species known to High School
students.
A fair future lies before Caroline Degen. She will establish a
chicken farm outside of the city limits. I wish to warn her never
to employ tall dark men, U’m sure we all know that there is a
strange affinity between a dark man and a chicken, TI cannot see
clearly, There is a veil over the globe, Ships are coming and going
and Grace Root’s future is quite mixed up. The globe holds money,
the signs are friendly but, as the sparks fly upward, she is born to
trouble.
T foresee, now, that Edna Class will write a book entitled “ An
Aid to Vergil”? embracing fifty possible meanings for words that
have only one correct translation, In the y
's to come, her books
will be signed K. Wood. The two greatest divines of the age appear
now, Edward MeDowell and Albert Toyt. From early

they could talk uninterruptedly

spoken of will obtain churches in Albany in case anyone present

time have the pleasure and satisfaction of transmitting by will to

bequeathed.

more, endowed with more than average intuition and native intel-
lectual ability and withall being exeeedingly willful and somewhat
addicted to confusion in class and study hall; I give, devise and
bequeath the title of her elder brother, that ih Junior, with all its
attendant prestige and privileges such as the ple: asure of studying
Julius y under the capable and efficient direction of Miss Cle-
ment, and Cicero under the critical eye of Miss Johnson, together
with the amusing and instructive lecture courses given by Professor
Sayles in the absorbing subjects of Physical Geography and Inter-
mediate Algebr Although being beyond the age which requires
a guardian, I wish to warn her godfather, the faeulty, to be eon-
stantly watchful to see that she adheres to the path in which she is
supposed to travel, as described and set forth in the catalogue issued
under the title of the Tigh School Department of State College for
Teachers,
ITEM THIRD —T give, devise and bequeath to my son, named
Freshman, all right, title and interest in and to the grand opportuni-
ties afforded by the Normal High School for laying the foundation

IN MEMORIAM.
Sweet classmates, who'll wither
F’re this year has fled,
We entered so cheerful,
We go out well-nigh dead.
O sadly we notice,
As here we do pause,
Our smiles have departed —
And great is the cause ;
Our tones are sepulchral,
Our looks full of woe,
While our very bones creak
As we walk to and fro,
Yes, classmates, who’re withering
On each passing day,
We sigh for our lost youth —
Indeed well we may.
Sweet classmates, who wither
In dreams of despair,
To exams we are hastening,
A-tearing our hair;
Our cheeks once so rosy,
Are furrowed through toil,
Our eyes have grown heavy
With much midnight oil.
Here fades the last moment
Of high school away,
Here dies every last hope
We've had till to-day.
