Nw Bs fer E ‘i RAS It was a warm afternoon in May when the Purple and White editor was hurrying, everything and everybody to get material ready for the An- nual. Doris was telling James that he must get the class history written. 5 “I haven’t been“here during all the four years so how can I do it?” James inquired of the editor. “Tf I tell you about what happened when you weren’t here, then you can do it all right, can’t you?” Doris urged. ANG begin with when we were Freshmen we were like most other Freshmen except that our class was the largest and as we were told the greenest up to that time.” “Yes, possibly, I wasn’t here,” interrupted James. Doris continued, “About the time we were beginning to feel a little at home and to learn not to run every time we heard Professor Mower’s foqrtals, they gave us a reception.” All right go on and finish, I am getting it,” said James. “When we were Sophomores I remember we had a picnic at River- view,” James added, “ and Jack fell into the river.” “Yes, Mr. Teall was away at the time and when he came back and found out the time we got home he called a special class meeting to an- nounce that we couldn’t have any more picnics that year,” Doris recalled. James observed, “The class must have had a taste for the extraordinary that year; remember our entertaining the Senior class, quite out of the or- dinary and not according to custom.” “We always have had a love for picnics,” said Doris, “when we were Juniors we had two, one at Skageg’s bridge and the other at Riverview.” “The class has also figured creditably in school athletics,” added James. “Yes,” said Doris, “last year our girls basket ball team played a game against a team picked from the rest of the girls of the school and won.’ “We had several class parties during the year,” continued Doris, “and we entertained the Seniors in grand style at the annual reception. This year we have the distinction of being the first Senior class of our school to have a “ditch day.” “We have had two class picnics this year, haven’t we?” James asked. “Yes, and the Senior-Junior entertainment makes three picnics,” answered Doris. “This all sounus as if we had played for four years but any one of the class would say that such has not been the case.” “Anyway both our work and fun here is almost over now.” Doris finished with a sigh. “All right, now that T have the idea I will write it up right away,” James promised. But once more good intentions failed for James never wrote it up. 8
