HOWARD I. BOCHER It has been said that it is not enough for the knight of romance that you agree that his love is a very nice lady-if you will not say she is the best that God ever made, you must fight! So, indeed, it is With the graduates of 1914 as to their class. The vvriter has been asked to reminisce about that class. Reminisce of the class of 1914 in tive hundred Words! Unfortunate- ly, there is no one alive who could deal adequately with the subject in such short terms. Besides, at the best, the Writer is not blessed with the gift of brevity. And yet in tive hun-dred words one may say something. He may record a fevv things, and perhaps those Who read may End their memories so quickened that a whole train of re- collections will tumble down out of the dusty past. Let us, then reminisce by suggestion. At the start, there were forty-three of us. VVe were the largest Freshman Class the school had received up to that time. As we exceeded in num- bers, so We would boast that We exceed- ed in intelligence, any other entering class. From this distance, it seems that it couldn't have been otherwise, but for the disgraceful credulity of Jake Dorsey, on the opening day of school, when he inquired of an upper classman as to the securing of a history t'pony. We organized early in the year and selected the name X. I. V. Our first internal clash came over choosing of class colors and payment of dues. We agreed upon Purple and Gold for the colors, with dues at five cents a semes- ter. Towards the close of the year, We gave a banquet in the Parish House. No other Freshman Classs had ever at- tempted such a pretentious thing. Naturally, the other classes were much put out about it. The members of the then Sophomore Class were especially obnoxious and did their best to ruin the affair. Not being able to spoil the banquet by abstracting the food they attempted to capture the eaters. They were able to take only one pris- c-ner, and he escaped in time for the third course. By our Sophomore year, several flames had burst out within the class. Morton Avenue became the regular re- sort of two of our boys. F. C., ll. W.: F. K., B. S.-to use a form of expres- sion itself reminiscent of high eschool days. And there was something unus- ual in Miss Bates having Kathryn Bod- ley read the part of the carpenter in the drama we were then studying. To the boys who read perhaps will eome recollections of color tights. These became of almost consuming im- portance in our third year. Class nu- merals had been painted on the face of the clock by every class, and so with ours. Every joint meeting of the lit- erary societies brought forth a display of class colors and resulting light. All will remember the periodical Student Body meetings. They were always contentious. Training in argu- ment and debate derived from this source bore fruit in our own Senior ,Class meetings. Every proposition gpresented to the class was contested. but differences were reeoneiled or abandoned under the pressure of ap- proaching graduation. The class had been redneed from forty-three to twenty-three nieinbers. These twenty-three stood for gradua- tion in May, retaining all the graves of the originally larger groups and pre- senting but few of its faults. IIONV,-XRD I. ISOOIIICH, '14,
