m mn4if Ulhe Sfafuryo-m m A CONFESSION Martha E. Littleton When we came upon him. it was one of 'those breathless afternoons that give to spring its reputation. Not a sound broke the early afternoon stillness save, perhaps, a stealthy scratch of pencil against a writing pad and the occasion- al flutter of a sheet of paper as it was turned over or laid aside to give place to another clean sheet. For the Senior, the only occupant of the stage, was busy,-- writing a book to be called, Chronicles of Climbing. Pausing in his work a moment, he told us that he was writing a modern novel, which was going to end happily and for that reason, was going to win the Pulitzer prize, the Ladies' Home Journal prize, and several others offered for the year of 1930. He is sure of success for he is writing about the struggle of the class of 1930 of Corning Free- Academy for self-devel- opment, four long years of struggle against: a, the Regent's Board, b, the Regent's Examinations: and c, the C. F. A. faculty, all three elements having confronted this valiant class for the aforesaid four years perpetually and constantly threatening, Thou shalt not pass! The theme of this novel offers great possibilities, also, for it is All for fun and fun for all. Delving into the past history of the class, he found the follow- ing happy episodes and incidents with which to work it out. The Freshman re- ception and the Freshman return party of the first year, the reception given the Freshmen the second year, the Junior Fall dance and Junior Prom of the third year rise to the grand finale, the Senior Christmas Ball. With his plot and theme outlined, he now proceeds to construct the sub-plot, very necessary in a high class novel, he told us. It is to be The struggle of the class of 1930 for scholastic and social achievement. The issuance of five weeks' marks for the first term in 1926 marks the incentive moment, while the Very fitting climax is that after four years of endeavor C?J the final Stator check-up shows that twenty-five mem- bers of the class have been on the honor roll at least once during their high school period, and eighteen have earned at least one scholarship chevron, while Lorraine Van Deventer is Valedictorian, and Helen Austin, Salutatorian. Socially, and in a citizenship way, this marvelous class has had ten of its members honor- ed by election to the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. However, the biggest honor, in both scholarship and social achievement, comes to all of the class with the Commencement sheepskin The Senior includes a second sub-plot. The struggle of the class of 1930 for financial achievement to place his brain-child on the highest possible liter- ary plane. A novel with two sub-plots is bound to be good, he says, and con- tinues, This one starts when all of us had to pay a quarter for the party we returned to the Sophomores our first year here, and proceeds with some forty dol- lars cleared on the reception given the Freshmen the following year, and sixty dollars cleared on the card party given as Juniors, Cwe broke even on our dancesi, advances through the miracle of making some money, though but a small sum, on the Senior Ball, and reach- es a huge climax of clearing over three hundred dollars on the Senior Play. I might add, also, that the obstacle here is +NI31l4+
