28 TJIE GARNET . jiistory of ’ 88 . e NOUGH has been said in previous Junior histories about the author of that song i4 In Junior year we take our ease, etc.” We can only add our testimony to the rest that he must have been laboring under a delusion or else he bolted mechanics. After thus venting our feelings toward this much-reviled author we are ready to go on. The class of ’88 ! What varied scenes those words bring back to our minds! A gentle smile steals over our faces as we think of ourselves when Freshmen ; the smile broadens into a grin as we become Sophomores and think of the countless little inci¬ dents of that happy time. Such incidents as class supper for in¬ stance. And now we are Juniors. Now we assume all the dig¬ nity and silk hats we can get. Dignity is cheap but silk hats come high , so that there is considera ble dignity but only a few silk hats in the class. O ! the ecstatic delight of passing by some underclassman as though you were totally unaware of his exis¬ tence. Of course we tried it on the Freshmen when we were Sophomores, but it requires long practice to ignore an under¬ classman with the proper air of dignified superiority. We are a handsome class. No doubt about it. To most of us there is only one thing — side whiskers—lacking to make us perfect Apollos. (The historian is not absolutely certain that Apollo was blessed with side burns, but he risks it.) Most of us have made furtive attempts to cause the much-desired “siders” to appear but generally with no visible results. Besides being good looking we are very learned. Probably by this time not more than half a dozen men in the class would flunk on the question “What is H 2 OP” One or two might hesi¬ tate a moment if asked “What is Epicheirema ?” While any man in the class could tell at once the probability of getting a bolt in any recitation. Historian. This is a joke. The historian found it in an almanac. All complaints that it is a chestnut should be sent to the author of that work.
