19 19 SECRET THOTS OE JUNIORS ANY times have our upper classmen sung our praises, but never have we really had the opportunity of telling you our moclest opinion of ourselves. It makes us blush terribly to tell you some of these things, but nevertheless we are willing to blush if you will listen. We, the self-possessed and respecting Juniors, were (if you can believe it) once green and awkward Freshmen. We, like you, my dear Freshies, stumbled into classes amid the laughs and grins of the upper classmen. We also had spreads and midnight raids by which we distinguished ourselves by painting our grinning mugs and initials upon the College entrance. And—the following morning we listened to an interesting speech by the President, who honored us by mentioning our names several times in his remarks. Those were gay times in our career, but long since have we put away childish things and have become men. Our idea no longer is to bluff our professors as we did in that memorable Sophomore class (just ask them if you doubt it). They themselves will tell you that they are astonished at the answers which come from our mouths (for they cannot be recognized as coming from our brains). We (as you can see from our history) do not think as we did formerly— thought we knew it all. And now we are Juniors. In our estimation we are by far the greatest class in College. In fact (we think), the College would close were it not for our strengthening and uplifting presence. We may be small, but yet we are mighty. We expect (if the professors sec lit) to be dignified Seniors next year. Then, ah, then will we look down upon every one, for we will have accom- plished our great mission in life (to graduate sometime). But although we may be dignified and stately, we will never forget our Junior year and the many spreads which we never had. And if you do not mistake the muddiness of this epitome for depth, you will conclude that the Juniors are the extraordinary beings that they are. Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and am not a Junior, 1 am become as sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. The Junior sufl'ereth long and is kind; he envieth not; he is not puffed up; doth not behave himself unseemly; secketh not his own, but that of some one else; is not easily provoked; thinketh no evil; beareth all things; believeth all things; hopeth all things; endureth all things. The Junior never “faileth”; but whether there be Freshies, they shall fail; and whether there be Sophs, they shall cease; whether there be Seniors, they shall vanish away. But the greatest of these is the Junior. Historian. m 26

19 19 JUNIOR CLASS POEM We are Juniors of unusual fame, And for ourselves, we've made a name; We have been foolish in our younger days, Hut experience has taught, us to mend our ways. We’re Reba, Rebecca, Ellen, and “Dot, To be with the girls is Morton’s lot. Sink or swim, perish or survive. That’s the motto that suits us five. Toiling, not for grades, but for love of knowledge, We’re the ideal class of Ccdarville College; Always zealous in play, and ambitious in work, And the worth-while things we never shirk. We are the survivors and the best; We stay with the class and banish the rest. Some took too little, and others too much; With such folks as they, we don’t keep in touch. We will certainly not try to recite to you All the great things our members can do; With our great orator and musicians great It’s easy enough to predict our fate. Our “Mort has been chosen speaker by all; Now, is that an honor that’s very small? Sure, Ellen is just as great, in a way,” Since she tells the “orator” what to say. What other class has been honored more? Two chosen for a dance that consists of four; They are so neat, so slender and charming. They dance with a grace that’s quite alarming. And can’t we be proud of our “Becky” so fair, With her big brown freckles and auburn hair? When she opens her mouth in that sweet way, to sing The birds sit still and say never a thing. Now, Sophomores, as you laboriously climb, Be a little more careful of your time. It’s an honored place, we submit to you; Please don’t disgrace it before you are through. •2;
