,Q , UVIL 'io L'A 'te IN l . - THE Gllaan nf 1525 When we came as Freshmen to D'Y. C. that September morning so many years ago our sensations were more or less mixed, pride in our newly acquired collegiate state-of-being struggled with that crushing timidity that must needs descend upon neophytes. We even cast a regretful glance backward, mayhap, upon the faded dignity attending the last of our high school days. Sophomore September of course brought with it a certain reassurance. We were at least established, and we were no longer the babies of the household, yet, at best our positions were far from being lofty and we were beset on every hand by a host of new evils-Psychology, Trig. and all the rest. But who shall say that as Juniors we have not been more than compenf sated? Upperclassmen, and yet not far enough upon that road that is not royal to be overshadowed by the thought of impending partings. The powers of initiation were ours and ours was the Prom. It is a wonderful thing, a junior. At the annual class elections the following ofiicers were chosen: JOSEPHINE BANCI'iIi I'TI ..........,...,.,,............s...,..................,..,.............,...... .........

B usiness Manager It has been such a happy year. We want to be Seniors, to be sure, but we would not for worlds have missed being Juniors. GDM Zluninr lirnm Imagine if you will all the delights of eye and ear-nay, the beauties of every sensefimpression which you can summon into thought, the splendid coloring and the fragrance of the rose, the melodious chiming of the distant bell, the rhythmic movement of the pendulum, the nectar of Olympian deities and count with these the added charm of pleasing personality, and you will have the answer why our Prom was in every respect an entire success. For the Statler Hotel, on the evening of the eighteenth of February, presented a spectacle which might well charm the eye of every artist, and draw forth the responsive appreciation of every lover of music. The festivities began at nine o'clock, when the strains of the first dance echoed forth, and it was only at the hour of twelve that the allegro of the music was stilled while the dancers filed into the delicately shaded diningfroom. Here mirth held full sway in the Inedium of conversation, while the supper and gay favors received their full share of appreciation. Soon, however, the dance was once more resumed, and it was only when the clock reluctantly informed us that another Inorn was ushered in that all began to wend homeward, musing after the manner of Pope: Oh! but to dance all night. 69

mf .C0uvu.L1AN V ,f Should you be seeking the class most renowned, Pause, friends, and learn where 'tis sure to be found. Would you great wisdom and gaiety mix? We're discovered at last--rise and bow, twentyfsix! Jo Banchetti comes first both by name and election. fWe're good, there's no doubt, when it comes to selectionj Be it Prom to be planned for or Puritan play, Jo just carries it off in her own able way. Ruth Laughlin is second in social command, And a better lieutenant jo couldn't demand- A worker, and yet when one sees her dance by All demons of worry she seems to defy. Marg Monks holds the lofty position of scribe ,And it keeps her quite busy, it can't be deniedg But Marg must have system, for everyone knows That her nights are all pleasure, her days all repose. Now, while Catherine McMahon's great historical flair 'Neath her duties as treasurer suffers much wear, As naught is the counting of ten dollar bills To the Ten Thousand marching down dales and up hills. As for Helen McGowan, 'tis sad to relate That small love for the ancients she's shown up to date. But how in the world can a girl go to classes When every few days some one smashes her glasses? According to Frances McNeilly's decree There's one thing to live for and that's history. And yet even that, we are willing to bet, Could never a dance cause our Fran to forget. T. Woeppel does also toward history incline- You should hear what she knows of the watch on the Rhine Of Egypt, Assyria, Carthage and Sparta- Why, she could have written that old Magna Charta! Evelyn Curtin is interested too In the year twelve-fifteen and in wars not a few. But sometimes we think that the finding of Rome She would gladly forswear just to dash away home. While Miss E. McCormick, one readily sees, Is vastly more tempted by ivory keys Than by Teapot Dome troubles and Panama locks, Everlasting conventions, Republicans blocs. And every one knows that long sighs of relief Go up from the class, at the name Helen Keefe, For the rain might not rain and the snow might not snow. If Helen should ever declare: I don't know! Now Miss Mary Murphy's a happy math major-H Her very best pals cannot even enrage her When cruelly railing her studious ways They basely forsake her and trot off to Shea's. 71
