Dear Friends,
Attached is a PDF of a poem authored in 1912 by one of Arkansas State Normal School’s (now the University of Central Arkansas) more creative writers, Owen O. Green. Green was the author of “Normalite.” The students of Arkansas State Normal School (ASNS) routinely referred to themselves as Normalites. During the days when ASNS had no mascot the sports writers also referred to ASNS sports teams as Normalites, as well as Pedagogues, Tutors, and Pea Pickers.
Green was quite clever in his poem, “Normalite.”
Sincerely,
Jimmy
