Lessons were mingled with pleasure, with sales of fme candies and pop-eorn. Virgills account of Aeneas was studied and each verse translated; Macbeth and old Silas Marner were read by each student with pleasure. Holidays, happy and care-free, came with the on-coming winter. ' Then, as the old year was waning, the flowerlike soul of our teachere She who so carefully guided our minds through the numbers of Virgili Called by a Power that is higher, from this life forever departed. Then, just because of a shortage of coal in the midst of the winter, All of the tests we so dreaded deferred were, but finals were promised. Thus all the cares of the midyear fled, as with untiring fingers Sweaters and socks were knit by the girls for the lads in the service; Money was raised for the HY and to all calls for aid we responded; Many a sacrifice was made for the cause of our country; Given were some of our classmates as well as our brothers and cousins, Some to the Navy, blue-middied, and some to the khaki-clad Army. lMid all the thoughts of the war, some vague thoughts of pleasure were mingled; Festive occasions were few, but the plans for the Dance and the Boatride Frequently claimed our attention as both events swiftly drew nearer. Strove we in heated debate, all ambitious for glory of triumph. Thus did the short year speed on and ,twas but a few days ,till Commencement; When that Occasion was over, when that, too, remained but a memlry, God alone knew what the future might hold for us in its recesses! Yes, it was but a few days ltill that so long- dreamed-of Commencement ; That was the time toward which we had proudly looked forward from childhood; That, the event for which we had waited so long with impatience. As all the pleasures in life will appear for a time and then vanish, So did Commencement, before we were fully aware of its presence. Ours was a wartime Commencement without much extravagant splendor. Happy were we to be free, and yet greatly dreaded that parting, Eten though the great halls of learning extended their portals in welcome. Graduates stepped we forth from those class- rooms, as students, for all time, Pausingsto leave our good wishes and hopes for the new class of Seniors, Those who would take our old places when we had departed forever.

CLASS PROPHECY LL the business of gThe Tattlers, Club had been completed when one of the meme bers remarked: It has been a long time since I have heard anything about the old Class of 18? Well, said another member, lthfteen long years ago I should never have thought that some of our classmates would become so famous. As I was passing the Onion Trust Building the other day, I saw an enormous sign which read, Visit Our Sky ParloraNinety-eighth Floorf My curiosity was aroused by the mys- terious wording of this sign, so I decided to walk up. When I reached the ninety-eighth floor, I opened a door on which was printed, R and P Shoe Shining and Manicuring Establishment, and to my surprise I found that Rauch and Pichel were the proprietors. Pichel, now six feet tall, was manicuring the finger nails of Ralph Kline, who is a walking model for lKellyl Schwarzts Clothing store. Ranch was shin- ing Schachtls shoes while iNorml demonstrated his folding airplane, Which is propelled by the magnetism of the sun with wooden magnets. By the way, this wonderful machine is an inven- tion of Milton Wise, the chemist. mThere was a great commotion at the door presently, and 'Stani JaHe burst into the room, followed by iBill' Esterly. Esterly, who was all dressed up like a fresh bottle of medicine, told me that he was a ribbon clerk in Alice Habe- kotte's millinery store. He said that there was some quartette over at 'The Hat Shopf Vir- ginia Connor is the advertising manager of the establishment and writes magazine articles ac- cording to Alicels ideas. These articles are illus- trated by the renowned artist, Mary Cheney. Jaffe said that he was in the clothing busi- ness, and he had just started to examine my clothes when a voice from without said: it lMay I come in and mop up now? ti 'Come on; shouted Pichel,and Whoshould saunter in but Eddie Huerkamp, with mop and bucket. He had just returned from the Senate with the Fisher boys and was out of a job. uAfter persuading Rauch to use some of his axle grease on my pedal extremities, I walked out into the hall and approached two distin- guished-looking men in uniform. To my great astonishment when I started to ask how to get to the elevator I discovered that I was talking to Rear Admirals Robinson and McGowan. We three then descended in the elevator. llAs we stepped to the outer door of the build- ing, a great throng confronted us. A band was marching down the street, headed by iAugl Jones with his saxophone. Near him was 'Bob, Weber, playing such a big horn that he had to push it on wheels. The band was fol- lowed by a procession of nurses at the head of which rode Sir iJoel Griffith, whom Mayor Winans had knighted for bravery as a Red Cross Nurse. Just behind the nurses rode Chief of Police Esther Guenther, followed by Assistant Chief Willa Gholsonfl l10l
