This was the one place. This was the place where we could talk over our joys and sorrows and take a little rest from classrooms. lt was here also that we made good use of our vocal chords, rendering everything from highest opera to the most frayed ragtime. Suffice it to say that thoughts of this room strike a respondent chord in the breast of every man who has seen and knows its secrets. During the year We met frequently, in spirited class meetings. If the fellows lacked life before they have certainly gained some by this time. Some of the questions brought up were so ably de- fended and bitterly contested that several ballots would have to be taken before a tie could be broken. These disputes only served to add zest to the meetings and no hard feelings were caused. Summing it all up we have taken quite an active part in all school activities during our three years at Drexel.
