HMGHT X,iCE'PTCSfdC7'lt President Secreta'fyf'I'reasurer With all due humility the writer approaches the task of preparing this composition, consciously aware of the dangers besetting the path of a freshman about to offer, for publication, an article extoling the merits of his compatriots. Accordingly, he will refrain from any effort to do so, regardless of the known fact that we have this term one of the finest classes of recent years. He especially solicits the attention of those august seniors who are about to exit from the portals of this institution to return no more as students. Will they kindly descend from those ethereal heights of knowledge where they back in the sunlight of wisdom, and commit an attentive ear to the Freshmen's plea for some slight recog' nition. The achievements of the distinguished class, with which the writer modestly conf fesses his affiliation, are too numerous to mention. The Freshmen are ably represented in all of the organizations, clubs, and activities embraced within the walls of the School. Debating is not the least of these. In fact, so great is the skill acquired by our debaters that, if necessary, they could prove entirely logical the proposition that the moon is composed of green cheesefnin honor of the Freshmen, Assured of the fact that the writer will in later years regard the foregoing panegyric as one of many youthful indiscretions, he begs to subscribe himself, A FRESHM.-KN, H.

FRESHMEN EVENING AN EVENING SCENE FROM THE FIELD MUSEUM Chicago is like a charming prima donna. To see her at her best, avoid the gaudy light of da . Get the halfftones of earl morning, or better still, the dusk of evening. . Y Y . i . Go near the Field Museurii. From there a veritable fairyland springs into view. Behold, in glittering Michigan Avenue, with its multitude of brilliant hues, beautiful boulevard lights arranged along its length, the precious gown of the Prima, and in the red, green, and orange signals, the thousands of dim headlights on the motor cars, here and there colored bulbs showing on runningboards or fenders, her beautiful train. See her gorgeous tiara in the crown of lights around the top of the Blackstone, and the myriads of illuminated windows in the many hotels and oihce buildings along the drive. Observe her infinite purity in the Wrigley Building, shimmering through the dusk like a legendary ice palace, drowned in a flood of purest light, with its beacon on top piercing the sky. Veritable millions of lights spring into view with a glance toward the north at eventide. Then turn about, and gaze toward the east. An Illinois Central train, with its bright headli fht, and the man diml lighted windows of the coaches, oes rumblin rw L Y Y s. g fl' b . Afar out on the lake the steamers, with li hts along their decks, Ylide u on the Y g e is P placid waters. The Municipal Pier, with its myriad of bright stars, twinkling in the deep blaeknesses of night, and the lighthouses in this same section, also present a gorgeous sight to the eye of an interested spectator. The Prima Donna of the work 'I' if at Chicago in all its glory 'k 'l' 'F pride of the country. ELMER JESSEN SCHEER. Page furtyffive 4 1 . at . ei, ,AM ,M .
