' l i ' . inorL- I. make my appearance and extend a greeting lu all my old friends, as the Sargasso of 1909. And 1. 1 how I have changed. The last three years have marked such a rapid progress in Earlham that I had to get a brand new dress, the old one having become out of date. It had to be made much larger also to keep up with my growth. I thought that I would never be brought out before com- pany again but the Junior Class, which is composed of people who do things, wanted a souvenir of their college da s so they began to get me ready for my second debut . They didn ' t make a big noise about it but put their fingers on the Earlham pulse and found it also to throb with a desire for my reappear- ance. So great was the demand of former Earlhamites to see me that requests came, not only from all parts of the United States, but even from England, Norway, Japan and the Philippines. IMy foster-parents have now established a precedent and I am sure that the fashions will sufficiently change for the Junior classes to bring me out in a new frock everv two years. They got me ready in the time formerly labeled leisure , sleeping hours , parlor-nights . — yea, and even meal times . My new dress is made in the same general style as it was before, that I may acquire a distinctive Earlham appearance as I grow older. But you will find me replete with original and peculiar frills and ruffles. I am not altogether satisfied with myself and I can scarcely hope to please every one in every particular, but I ask that you suspend hasty judgment of me and to be charitable toward me. M ' mission is to portray Earlham as it is today — with all its joys and pleasures — ; to awaken in the hearts of all true Earl- hamites, sweet memories of their Alma Mater; to reflect credit and to shed glory upon our dear old Earlham wherever I may go. Thus have m) ' foster-parents sent me on my mission ; thus I extend my warmest greeting: and may our love grow stronger as we become better acquainted.
