®ljr (Slaaa of 1915 WE arc triplets and not afraid to own that we are fine children. Over and over we hear the other children of our school family mentioned as doing well, but Mother Commerce generally ends her praise of the rest by saying, “But the D’s they are fine classes.” Our names are Junedee, Scpteraberdee and Decemberdee. We arc all young and good natured, and happy that we can go to the High School. Mother Commerce is proud of us and we are proud of her. Our sister Junedee has a fine “stand in” with all her teachers because she went to school all summer, while the rest of us were swimming in the pools and having a fine time in the country. Mother Commerce often says, “Junedee is such an ambitious child.” My brother and myself are ambitious too—sometimes, but if Jundee wants to make a book-worm out of herself, that’s her own business, but my brother and myself are strong advocates of “No School in Summer.” Septcmberdee is the biggest, and he likes to show his strength, you sometimes hear him say, “I am 97 strong.” Decemberdee is small but he is a good student, and Mother Commerce is hoping that he will be ambitious and go to summer school, so that he may begin the new Sophomore school year when the rest of us do. Our names are long, as you must have noticed, but we never go by them. Nicknames with us are the fashion. Threedy, Twody and Onedy, you will hear us called. The older boys in school call us flats, but you just watch us when we come back to school next fall. There will be another group of flats in our places and they will take from us whatever we please to give them. We shall certainly make life interesting for them. At present, however, we are keeping our eyes open and our mouths closed, but wait! I myself think the school would be dead without flats. Flats are the most popular people in the building and always will be popular wherever they are. Ever since the days of Julius Caesar, flats have been spoken of with honor. Don’t you remember when Caesar was talking to those senators he said. “Yon Cassius hath a lean and hungry look. “Let me have men about me who are flat.” At least that is the way one of our number read it. and Julius Caesar knew who were the right kind of people. Caesar would have liked us for another reason, too, a member of our class insists “because we do not think too much.” and we remember that one reason the “great Roman” had for disliking Cassius was because of his deep thinking. No one ever dared accuse one of our class of over-thinking. You would agree with this statement if you ever heard some of the thoughtless answers in our classes. Neither do our members seem to have much trouble “sleeping nights.” —Why some of us D’s have been known to fall asleep while reciting lessons! Scientists say sleep rests the mind, so a little sleep will probably do some of us no harm and may help us to get to the goal just the same. We shall be through the first year soon and we hope that most of us shall come back as 1912-’13 Sophomores. no HARVEY CLASS, 1915.
