(Whitman). So wc, too, started forth in the fall of 1935, and so we end up the class of ’38, ready to enter the ironical game of life. Boisterous freshmen tho’ we were, subduing influences soon quieted us. We chose our friends and elected our officers like the first object a child casts his eyes upon.
