HISTORY OF OLASS-1909 a Mlould it be .your pleasure to open memory7s album with me, and, looking backward four years. view some of the pictures it contains? . Here before us we see an imposing edifice whose doors stand invitingly open, and, entering those doors. behold the class of 1909. What memories that picture brings to us! Oonfusion, indeed, reigned forthe first few days. Poor little freshies rush to and fro trying to find their proper places, until, guided by the clear head of Miss Osgood, 'chaos' is changed to order and we are installed in that much longed-for place, B. O. I-LS. D Another picture is novv before us. The first term is finished and, having ascended the gorgeous staircase, our class is seated on the second floor, not because Miss Osgood had formed any objections to us, but because Professor Knox, having learned of our great ability, was anxious to receive us. Three long terms we spent with Professor Knox, listening to his very amusing and original jokes and cheerfully receiving many a well-deserved scolding for the pranks we committed. Again the picture changes and we see our class, grown in wisdom and knowledge, and having ascended another flight of the still beautiful staircase, packed in on the third floor. Oan you imagine hovv gleefully we welcomed those desk covers? So convenient for the .throw- ing of notes and the sending of messages. And, were We permitted, many a name of fair maid and love-sick swain could we mention, who, with heads behind those friendly wooden walls, sent to each other messages, understood only by those who have felt Oup1d's dart. For further information on this subject we refer you to Mary and Earle, Nina and Bill or Bess and Paul. VVith patience and forebearance did Professor Jones .try to keep in check the many restless students under his care, and well did he perform his duties. VVhat! does the picture change again so soon? The term is ended and what do we see? Our good Professor Knox, unable to remain away from Dus, is with us on the third floor. find what is that we hear him saying? '4The Junior Olass will organize to-night in room 35. 21
