Summertime is coming. O-ut of the window we longingly look, and Remembering take up our books - E nglish, I itin, Bookkeeping, S-ewing, Geometry, Botany. ELIZABETH JOHNSON ’26. .!■ Spring is here! Spring is here! The merriest time of all the year. With many a Sophomore lad and lass Hunting flowers for the Botany class. In the springtime of twenty-four. Each Sophomore goes out the door For a merry ride in the country, Only to keep out of Geometry. O dear! How it’s raining! Come, let’s go to Manual Training. Some of the Sophs are weeping For they must go to Bookkeeping. Only to keep my wish And not go to English! Leroy and Vernon must toat to Latin, While all the rest of us are chattin.’ Spring is here! Spring is here! The jolliest time of all the year, For the school year is near its end; Then to the farm, the chickens to tend. WILLIS MUMMEY ’26. 21

The regular monthly business meeting of the Sophomore class was called to order by President Hiram Ramer at 4:05. The minutes of the last meeting were read and with a few corrections, approved. Under reports of committees and officers, the report of the treasurer, Leroy Mark was called for. Miss Virginia Carr announced that he was last seen on East Cortland street. So his report was dispensed with. A communication was read from Miss Lucille Tatman. thanking the Class for the beautiful floral tribute sent to her at the untimely death of her pet chicken. Under unfinished business, the committee to raise money for the Annual, com- posed of Corliss Powell, Doris Serven, and Roberta Nessel, reported that in addition to taking in plain and fancy sewing, the girls were also planning to take in washings and ironings. Vernon Ramer and Gallerd Asquith volunteered to call for and deliver the goods. The President called for new business. The Secretary reported that a bill for two dollars had been received from H. F. Drury. Galesburg, Illinois. The item of the bill enumerated for-get-me-nots, addressed to Miss Lucille Cox. A heated discussion fol- lowed. After much excitement on the part of Bernice Rood, Raymond Simmons, and Arthur Griffith, it developed that the bill was contracted by the President of the Class, in his private capacity, and the bill should have been sent to him. It was also brought out that it was through no fault of his, that the bill was sent to the class. It was moved by Marie McFarland, and seconded by Olive Myers, that in view of the splendid scholarship and high moral qualities of the Class of 1926, that a com- mittee of five be appointed by the chair to confer with the faculty as to the propri- ety of allowing the members of said class to skip school on each Thursday afternoon for the remainder of the year. The motion was carried with no discussion and loud cheers. The President appointed the following: Louise Wigert, Elizabeth Johnson, Helen Keller, Edna Bowles, and Mildred Raymond. There being no further business the members of the class gave the closest atten- tion to the following program: 1. Duet—“Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes,” by Douglas Spencer and Willis Mummey. 2. Debate “Resolved that chewing gum is a mark of a perfect lady or gentle- man.” Affirmative Raymond Pattison. Negative Cleta Bell. Both sides were so ably defended in view of the high moral standards involved, that the judges found it impossible to render a decision. 3. Song -“Last Night On The Back Porch” sung by Kenneth Alden. Moved and carried to adjourn. Respectfully submitted, Vernon Ramer, Secretary. LUCY DAVIS, ’26.
