M Kvp sr nee upon a time, there lived a yearbook that had no name. Oh yes, in its early years the founders called it The Oak , and often it was jeered at for having such a pulpy name. Soon it could no longer handle the ridicule brought upon by its title, and the book went anonymous, using the college initials and the date as its identification. This action eased the embarrassment, but still the book was not happy, as every year the I.D. number changed and the paper work was incredible. By and by, a staff came about that was very much into identities, and they grew worried over the faltering state of the yearbook. It was decided that a contest would be held, and all the yearbook ' s subjects could enter their suggestions for its name. The author of the winning name would be duly honored, and a prize would be bestowed upon him. The staff carefully went over all the entries and was dishearteded to find such a schmaltzy listing of titles as Reflections , Memories , Horizons , Visions , and the sarcastic ones like 80-10-10 ; it all was reminiscent of high school. They worked late into the night going over title after title, shelving this one, filing that one, until they came to an entry that had them stumped entirely — Raggensdraddle. It had a nice ring to it, but what did it mean? They summoned the author and questioned him: What meaning lies behind such a word? , and he answered: I dunno. What?! they asked again. He replied, I dunno, it sounded good. I like to make up words. It can mean whatever you want it to. And with that, he left. The staff was silent while each one reflected over what had just transpired, and suddenly they shouted to- gether Eureka! A title that no other book will have, a word of our own, with a meaning unique to each individual ' s interpretation! What a fine idea! And thus came about the first edition of The Raggensdraddle, a book with a thousand per- sonalities just waiting to be discovered. Worcester State College Worcester, Massachusetts
