All the members of the student body who were at this institution during the administration of Prof. A.M. Norton were called together and organized into what was agreed upon to be called the “Norton Club.” There were about 15 students eligible for membership in this exclusive club, and out of that group the following officers were elected:
Nathan Jones—President.
Janie Lance—Vice-President.
Maude Burrus—Secretary.
Paul Butt—Treasurer.
John Maye—“Pep” Reporter.
After much deliberation the club decided on the motto: “I know that I know” because it seemed in some way to be connected very closely with this organization, and this is one exclusively. The object in starting this club was to keep warm the kind thoughts and remembrances of which we all have for Prof. Norton and his family, and to unite the few remaining students of three or more years ago.
The picture of the club, including several honorary members, is to be inserted in the Annual, and all indications seem to be that this will be one of the livest and most active organizations on the campus.
