i i i 1 3 i xi 5 c 1-x RK ll.XS'l'lL'L'lfD IU my 3 K if I' JUNIORS ii fl IT is very comfortable, this Junior year. There are no worries concerning lu graduation. We can look forward to one more year in which to bask bliss- ' fully in the culminated glory of our college days. VVe are not seriously dis- iii turbed by teachers' agencies or the like-in fact the future looks rosy. ' It is equally pleasant to look backward, to that innocent flTSt year. Oh, iii those dear old Freshman days when we thought books were meant to be ' studied-when we took notes in class and took education in all seriousness. in We love the memories of the weak-kneed hazing we got and we don't mind f ' remembering how we pulled the Sophomores through the duck pond in late lit October. We still recollect the night we spent in Sterling Inn with the Soph ' president making toasts for our banquet. With the succeeding days we ik entered more and more into the college activities and gradually lost the ' stigma of the Fresh from high school class . ii, We came back as wise-fools, lordly in our bearing, overloaded with pres- K tige. This we worked off on the new Freshmen. Don Kelley took the presi- '-gx dential chair and put the class through another active year. Once more we lp N went through the Rope-Pull paces and once more we gathered in our annual EM Bacchanalian feast. We absorbed collegiate mannerisms to the point of sat- uration and raced on toward the half-way mark of the academic course. It Q i was in this year that we gave the school its first Sophomore Hop and the school iii liked it. This little story would be nothing but a long list of names if I I V wrote into it the men who have contributed to the various activities of the school. To come back to where I started, I am still convinced that the Junior if year is the best year of all. In this year came the biggest opportunity of our N social career. Forsberg took the Junior Prom down to the Bancroft and lit made a brilliant success out of it. This Junior-Freshman Prom has dimmed ,V all former proms and probably many future ones. Twenty-seven made an lily indelible imprint on the register of the Bancroft Hotel. by The old men laugh at us now for they regard us as a bunch of boys with ill a lot of useless and uncorrelated knowledge. Ooo-la-la. When we come in Q at three in the morning we laugh at the old men. And why shouldn't we laugh? The world is ours-entirely ours. Some of us, perhaps, have already 5 met the girl and the joy of life is doubled. It is a keen pleasure just to be iii alive and free. We're young. We have no past to regret. The world is a 5 welcome challenge. We will gather round the festive board once moreg radi- cals and conservatives, libertines and celibates, morons and master-minds- 5 but Juniors all. We will raise the glass-the sparkling, dancing, life-giving ill glass-yes Cognac, Pussyfoot-damn your soul, and we will drink long and Q deep-drink to youth and ambition-to life and love-to the future. ii Y gf -. ,,,., . l,,.,V , t A? l89l

By this time ik l we were a unitg because of the democratic system at Whitmang because this l lit system was installed in Estabrookg because there was a solid nucleus, because lk there was the personality and friendship of Captain Armitage, because we lik needed solidarity for self-protection, because we were undisturbed by fra- img ternity rushingg and because we did have spirit as spirits go at Clark. li, We were rigorously hazed, we were. We revoltedng we were no longer ik N ' hazed. Unity and spirit triumphed. We won our official freedom at the i 'ix pond. We banqueted in peace and undisturbed tranquility, some time before lm ' the toastmaster of the class of '27 had eaten beans instead of turkey. ii lg, We were a part of Clark. Our men, went out for things in general, and is N N made good: Athletics, Cups , The Monthly , Orchestra, Glee Club, N lt, Scholarships and Collegiate Honors. lg if We returned in '25. ' 3 'ilk About the same. We remembered our hazing, our revolt, our promises, lk f , and were lenient. Some began to wonder: Is your spirit fled? Even: Is our gg, spirit fled? The affair at the pond put such unthoughtful suspicion to ever- XR iff lasting flight. The first class to do it they say in six years, and we did it 'iq E i well. Again we held feast, and our board was graced by the presence of one li lit Enos of the class of '29. Nothing happened, we knew there wouldn't. Their .1 banquet? They haven't had it, and 'tis past the Ides of March. Again we fi ill, see our members prominent in all activities, and are proud. And in our second year we see a better Clark. We are beginning to i J 'lt faintly discern something here besides a group of buildings, besides a round ,' of work, besides a daily routine. And so as we approach our Junior year, we f , it are hoping that it's not all from our change in viewpoint. We not only want S to see Clark better, we want to see a better Clark. X3 ill, We are half-wayg we look back and are satisfied, we look forward and lx t resolve. -A H xx ,l or l Q, 5,5 Q, , lb 1 .rx . XR li it lull it FN el . x it in If ' ' xiii . C i911
