Just Twenty Years Difference. It is surprising how little change may take place in a human being in the long period of twenty years.

THE CLASS OF 1916 The sweet girl graduate, one glad June day, Sat before a table, where her memory book lay; She touched very lightly the U. of A. seal As if she half doubted—if it were real. With a touch almost reverent, she fingered the pages As if it contained all the deeds of the ages; When she opened the book, the first thing to be seen Was a long line of pig tails, tied with huge bows of green, ’Twas the first worthy record of the class of ’16. Class athletics, next in order came, With Cooke, Sadler and Dubs all stars in each game; Such records of victory were n’er seen before The first two years told a wonderful score. (13-0) The third year showed victory—or almost the same, The letters were written “Seniors Forfeit the Game!” For the Senior game—something seemed to lack— No score written down—just a ribbon of black. To an interesting page, she now turned her fancies, Here—the programs and menus of banquets and dances. The pilgrim maiden with snow white pinafore Brought back memories of a Junior dance of yore. A “Zu Zu”, the only thing left of those stolen sweets Acquired in the combat for the Junior-Senior eats. The last page was one to view with pride, There was told the story of how 1916 had defied All the ancient traditions and started not a few Precedents and customs, quite as good as new. First their advisory system—a success the faculty say, Then the presentation of a “cozy” concrete “A”, And at the bottom of the page, written in convenient nick Was the motto of the Senior—“Long live the cane and swagger stick Goobf. Wilson — Shadowing and detective zvork, a specialty.
