by some of the girls, but we pass this over in the silence we feel that it deserves. And if we do not make the success in life that we de- sire and expect, it will surely not be because we cannot gain a foot- hold upon the world's battleground, by way of our stupendous under- standing, for we wear a size seven hundred and thirty shoe. This is the Class of l941 in her big moments. Then even her class picture has to be taken on the installment plan. But we have not at all times such a mighty sense of our vastness. Sometimes our pride sinks to a mere average capacity, and Mr. Bishop assures us that we have a splendid capacity for averages. We have been in- vestigating this line too, but will not bore you with a recital of the resultant statistics. These same statistics, in an altogether diverse form, show that almost half our number of girls will join the nursing squad and sub- sequently the Army and the Red Cross. No wonder the. boys think it is a case of coming events casting their shadows before that makes so many cling to those tiny hats. We are all Americans, for though we may be descended from many different nationalities, we are all united under the red, white, and blue of the Star Spangled Banner and the colors of our class. We are accomplished in all things. We have often proved to you how well we can sing, act, recite, and perform in many entertaining ways before the public. We have proved our prowess in athletics, and won honors for our class and school. We all like to do steady work and research under the tutorship of some person older than ourselves. We will appreciate it if you will kindly refrain from un- kind insinuations along this line. Indeed, what we do not know has seemed to us to be scarcely worth the learning. What we do know has seemed to our teachers to be very much worth the learning. That may be one of the reasons why we know it, but we have nothing further to add along this line. We have within our ranks, poets, artists, actresses, preachers, professional football players, philosophers, professors, judges, phy- sicians, authors, musicians, warriors, and one United States president, I hope. Do not ask me to specify the which or the who. Ask me thirty years from now, and perhaps I may be better able to say, for, of course, they are still in a state of partial development, and while I can tell you what.they are now, it doth not yet appear what they shall be. A This, friends, is a subdued picture of the Class of 1941, crudely sketched from my present perspective. I did not use the brilliant colors of my imagination, lest I should lay myself open to the charge of undue self appreciation or exaggeration. Far be it from our wish to run any such risk as that! Sufficient it is to say that while the career of the class has from the very beginning been glowing with color and brightness, it is only a glimpse of the great things it fore- shadows, when Life, as the master artist, mixes the shades that have been decreed by the forces of destiny for the painting of the perma- nent and eternal canvas that shall last throughout the ages as the per- fect and indestructible Class Picture of 1941.

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
