SI o Does it notseem hard to realizethat the class of 1S36 nov; confrontmr youm all its strength and beauty, with its wealth of experience w itten on its various features, was ever a class of silly young Freshmen? Silly young Freshmen indeed! With nothing«in their brains but a lot of nonsense and nothing in thoir opcnactions but a lot of gig lcs, yet such is the fact;I was a out to use the adjec- tive deplorable, but loft it out,because it is re- ally a fa.t on which we arc go be congratulated. That a lot of silly, empty-headed, rattle-brained youngsters coula ever have developed into yonder noble, h ndsome,thoughtful and wire-appearing Sen- iors, is indeeu something to be thankful for. Some of us have beer, togethcrsinco kindergar- ten days. Those startin' out in the year of 32, ac freshmen wore: Edn-. Mao Allen, Robert Allor, Ruth 3aldncr, John Borglund, Mclvin Ch.cnow th, Vorl e Endrcs, Robert Finley,Marine Grimm, 'V'ync 0 aim an, Lula f!rc Ham end, John Hammond, and?.

Me didn’t know each other as well then as we do now. Ye hadn't found out then that Wanda Herndon runs just as hard as shecan the moment she catches sirht of a hoy. (We don’t say which way.) One characteristic, however, which we learned very early in our career, is that Dorothy Riggins just adores spiders, bugs, and especially rice. Alexander 3ighod for more worlds to concuer. How i.iuch more noble is her ambition. ,J0h, give me, she exclaims, a few more hugs to classify, and a few more mice to watch. .During our Freshman year onl two of our mem- beis made scholarship letters. They were: Jeanette Sullivan and Edna Mae Allen. An Operetta was given by the High School in the year of 1902, and from our class the follow- ing tool: part in it, Perle C-aye Sauers, Lula , laniond, Meryl Murphy, and Jeanette Sullivan. m tiiis first year of our rork together we ■ore saac enoc oy the doatli of one of our members J.aVorn joncar.
