History of the Class of ll929 At last, the papers were corrected. XVith a sigh of relief and a barely stifled yawn. he stretched, made himself comfortable, and fell into a dreamy musing. Things really were not half so bad as they seemed, and it was rather pleasant to watch the growth and development of people. He could not help smiling, this teacher who had seen so many students come and go, as he remembered them during the first trying days of junior College. The class of 1929, like others that had come before it, had been greatly awed by the prospect of the coming two years. But, like its predecessors, also. it had come through that first year of lectures, lab work, chapel exercises, tests, and what-nots, quite successfully, really a great deal more so than anyone would have at first predicted. So, you couldn't always judge by first appearances. And then-but his pipe had gone out, and--of course, it must be filled againw- and then, Oh! Yes, he was thinking how pleased he had been when the Freshman class with some few valuable additions and a few regretted losses had returned as Sophomores. But. of course. it had been done before, and he naturally expected great things of the class he liked so well. Thinking of the different happenings of the year now almost at an end, he remembered the many football games in which they had taken part either on the field or in the cheering section. l-le remembered the lovely sentiment of the tree planting, the hilarious excitement of basket-ball games, and tense eagerness during track meets and the hard work and real en- joyment in publishing the school paper, The Muskctvcr. Each of these things came, one by one, to his mind. And now to think that he had corrected papers for the last time for that class whose joys and sorrows, and work and fur1 he had followed day by day for almost two years. ln a few weeks they would be scattered-and he would rather not think of it. By this time it had grown late, so, slowly getting up, he shook the ashes from his pipe and left the room, hoping that the class of '29 would be as happy and prosperous as he wished it to be. -TOSEPHINE TXTAGVIRE SUSIE I'lIl.l.
