1920 THE McKENDREAN 17 From the Diary of a Junior of ' 21 JUNE 15, 1928 — Commencement Day of the one hundredth year of our McKendree. The clock says it will soon be the sixteenth, but to let this day pass without recording it is unthinkable. We turned out in a body today — we of ' 21. Such a goodly group was never seen. The folks of ' 28 are promising looking, but they did not make a one of us feel a whit less important than we did in the fall of even ' 17. Scat- tered in all parts of the world we now know what it really means to come back. We can now feel for the ones who used to bore us by taking our perfectly good time to tell us what it meant to them to invade the hallowed halls and more. Oh, that class feed tonight! What flavor congeniality of companionship may lend to mere food ! Lola did criticize some one of the dishes, though. In her case a D.S. education and a maid to do the work seem to have been con- ducive to a rather discriminating sense of taste as well as to — shall I say stout- ness? Little Ruth H., who teaches D.S., looked a little askance at the same, but she never said a word. Ruth always was a sweet little martyr to contentment. Talk? Almost everyone let go. But we all listened when our other Ruth, home on her first furlough, discussed her work in India with Arthur H., who is now a District Superintendent with a most promising outlook. Again we listened when Dr. Curtis made known what it means to minister to some four thousand souls each week. Dr. Moore and his new serum were quite a sen- sation to all of us. Even Lawrence sat up and looked thoughtful, wondering what he might have done if he had taken his father ' s advice and gone in for medicine. He looks as trim as he did in days of old, when it stretched our imaginations to the limit to see in him a farmer. Ed disappointed us not a little. We all felt that although he is the leader of a symphony he should have brought his cornet along to take us back to the golden days. Oh, that boy, Collard ! He looks more like an Apollo than ever. How we all worship him ! From his own modest statement and all reports he ' s more than making good as a coach and physical director. To be a doer of deeds is noble. To rejoice with the doers of deeds is, I hope, worth something. Tonight as never before I know a man ' s life consisteth not in the abundance of things which he possesseth, and in that comfort I am happy : for I, too, am a member of the class of ' 21.
