In looking over the pages of history which have been written during the last twenty-five years, I became aware of the truth in the phrase This Changing World . After the first World War, depression, then a period of intense prosperity, the crash of '29, a depression the like of which the world had never seen, and now twenty-five years later another World War, the worst the world has ever experienced: these are but a few of the events which have occurred during the last two and one-half decades. I have seen the railroad replaced by the automobile, the tractor trailor, and the bus. The sleek pullman with its spacious com- partments has likewise given way to the f' jar flue ,Qui 2.1 eard luxury liners which cruise our skyways. Ocean liners have felt the effect of the age of speed, losing their most exclusive traffice to the trans-Atlantic clippers, which span the 3,000-mile distance in the short time of a day, where the space of a week was for- merly required. A period of twenty-five years has not been without its effect on the graduating class of 1916. Time has produced many changes in that handsome group of Seniors which so proudly received its diplomas just tweny-five years ago. Some of the group have become lawyers, some salesmen, some machinists, some bookkeepers, some teach- ers, and some like me are just housewives. Doms GArmE'r'r KANE:
