We could no longer be coddled with parties and games, and we had not arrived at the respect-commanding position of an upperclassman. We were nothing in short! However, we pulled our belts a little tighter, buckled up our courage and decided we'd show them that the proverh about the unknowing Sophomore was all bunk. So just to prove our theory, we up and won the hockey championship. Just to see Otie flving dlown the field with her red tie fluttering in the breeze like a dahger signal, and Wrey striking out vigorously with the hockey stick was enough to scare our opponents.

Can I be of any help? 1 whispered, for I was most awfully scared, and he looked dreadfully cross. Oh! it is you, he said. Well, now I know where I am. I have expected this to happen for the last thousand years. And it's all your fault. What do you mean? I gasped. When you laughed so at the idea of the man in the moon, 1 peeked over the edge to see what sort of fool you were and I leaned so far I fell out. Now I cannot go back to the moon till evening. How stupid! I will not be able to write down the doings of the world in my Day Book. You keep track of each day's events? Oh, please will you help me with my class history Well, he drawled, it's nearly six o'clock. But I might do it to pass the time. The Moon Man's Story is this: In September the quarantine for influenza started. Tt lasted from the tinie you arrived on campus until the Christmas holidays. Each member of the class of Twenty-two had ample opportunity to hecome acquainted with the Infirmary. The Juniors invited their little sisters to a delightful mas- querade. Miss Blue and Miss Sawyer, as Pierrot and Pierrette, gave a charming interpretive dance. The Sophomores gave you a minstrel show. They proved themselves excellent entertainers as well as providers with the lolly-pops and doughnuts. Peach day was wonderful because of its significance, the parade and the big bonfire by the flag staff where Kaiser Bill finally found his way to perdition. Your bow to Society came when you entertained your sister class at a middy party. Mrs. Noel was the belle that night for she caused all the little kisses to burst from their bag as she struck the bag a valiant blow. The Seniors gave the Freshman a wonderful sausage stew and marshmallow roast by the river. M. P. and her Uke came into their own that evening, especially in the doleful tale of the Harvard Student. When St. Valentines Day came around Twenty-two gave evidence of bold and youthful spirit. A Freshman dance was given. To Custom this was quite a shock, an impious thing ne'er done before. But what of that? T'was fun, forsooth. 23

Flowing streamers, gay balloons, Fun and frolicStunts and tea, ! In a fair, quaint Japan garden, j Tea for twojust you and me. We were at last being recognized as invaluable to the college at large. Hordes of us were compelled to yield our talents to C. C. i M. P. won eternal fame as Mrs. Crespigny in The Truth, as well as Jeanette in the nonchalent role of Mr. Roland. Tony, Clarke and the inimitable duo, Hall and Traurig, made the French play; I while our fair damsels transformed El noche de Mayo into 5 un jardin de flores. l Mid-years we scorn as too trivial to mention. We were much ' too used to exams to get excited about them now. The terrors of history 1-2 having left us, we faced all other dangers calmly. I We were taken up now with comedy. Of course C. C. was obliged to call on Twenty-two for leading lady. Tony, our song- bird, led the band of Twenty-two-ites who graced the boards in 0, O Aladdin. Finals found us tearfully bidding adieu to our friends and sisters '20, and wondering how were we ever going to get along without them.
