I hesitated when asked to prepare this picture of the Class of 1941, for although I am considered somewhat of an artist with the brush, I felt my lack of skill in wielding the pen. Besides, the Class of 1941 is a very lively subject for even a master to attempt to sketch. They are never any of them twice alike, nor apt to be found twice in the same place or position. Even a snapshot could never catch them in anything better than a blur. Besides, I am only one person, of decidedly individual opinions, and could only look at my class- mates through my own eyes. I cannot see them as they see them- selves, nor even as you might see them if you should stand for a time in my position, and be able to look at them from my point of view. But, as it seems my fate to be expected to hold the mirror up before these one hundred and three boys and girls who have been my classmates for so long and be to them that power that would, as Burns says, The giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us, I can paint them in such words as appear to me to express them as I see them. This then, dear friends, is the Class of 1941, as I see it today. fl am sure you will pardon the exact measurements, as I am not only a miserable artist, and an extremely poor mathematician as well, but, in spite of these tremendous obstacles, I managed to get as accurate an account as possible.l The Class of 1941 is made up of one hundred three members- fifty-one girls and fifty-two boys. We range in age from fifteen to nineteen years. We range in height from Dottie Broucht's four feet ten and a half inches-high heels, long hat feather and all-to Bill Gephart's six foot six, with or without his silk stockings. We range in weight from Dottie's ninety-five pounds ffeather, brain and alll to Bob Greiner's two hundred and fifteen. Taken altogether as the one in body that we are supposed to be in spirit, we make up an individual of sufficient age to know a great deal, if he's ever going to begin to learn, for he would be one thousand six hundred and seventy-one years old-surely an age of wisdom, and power, and dignity, verging upon veneration. Our height is six thousand, three hundred and three inches, which certainly raises us far enough up in the world to allow us to tower above our enemies, and look down upon the inferior undergraduates. You can see, too, what a heavy proposition we are by the fact that taken altogether, and even giving due consideration to Dottie's dainty figure, we tip the scales at exactly twelve thousand six hundred and seventy-one pounds. Someone has hinted that this weight is the same, either with or without Dottie, but we think this is hardly a fair accusation, and we do not expect any of you to give it any con- sideration. Our hand is certainly large enough to get a good firm grasp upon the affairs of the world, as well as upon our own indi- vidual concerns, for we Wear a size four hundred and thirty glove. Our head is of sufficient capacity to hold even the vast amount of knowledge we have been cramming into it for the past four years, for we require a hat that measures one thousand three hundred and ninety inches. Some say this may be due to the style of hair worn
