THE LAST LEAF ..,.. 2 HISTORY OF CLASS 'I7. HIS history, which has the honor of being introduced to the world by the members of the graduating class of the year IQI7, is not wholly unworthy of so dis- tinguished a chaperon. It professes, in- deed, to be no more than a compilation of important events that have taken place dur- ing the college career of the class, but we hope that it will be an amusing and inter- esting compilation. It was in the beginning of September of 1911, when a number of energetic young alighted. At last, after a long and tiresome journey, we had reached our destination. The sweet smiling village of Addison lay before us in all its autumnal splendor and glory. But the peaceful scene which sur- rounded us seemed to have little or no effect upon our depressed spirits, for de- pressed, indeed, they were, as we were strangers in a strange land ,and no one to console us in our sad and pensive medita- tion. A We could see the weather-beaten roof of the large gray brick building, which was to f l - Addison. men left their happy homes, and boarded a train enroute for Chicago. Upon their arrival in the famous metropolis of the VV'est, they directed their steps to the Illi- nois Central Railroad Station, and from there took the Une Horse Dummy to Addison. One usually finds an engine at the head of a train, but the unique con- struction of iron and steel, which served as the motive power for the Dummy, was heard puffing away at the rear end, and pushing a few cars with their lonely pas- sengers into the little village of Addison. Witli a sudden jerk the train stopped, and the passengers, among whom the future members of Class ,I7 were also to be found, pn-n.-.----, ... . rf.-.lix be our home for a number of years, loom- ing up majestically in the distance. Slowly we wound our way through the beautiful park which surrounds the college-buildings, and soon we were standing before the main entrance, where a venerable old genteman, our beloved Director Theodore Brohm, gave us a hearty welcome, and directed us to our rooms. The bare walls reminded us very much of a desolate prison cell. The first days spent within them seemed the longest days of our sweet young lives, for sad hours are long, indeed. Un- consciously our thoughts wandered back to Home, Sweet Home and all those be- loved ones we left behind. But soon we
