1928 Kmc? ' sonia?i 1928 MRS. ELEANOR ' EREN ' E WALLACE Evanston, Illinois Hail to the lad who take tir t prize for pee(l in the writing of plays! We ordinary mortals can ' t hope to keep np with her, so we just sit ' nack and marvel, and enjoy the fruit of her brain. Along other lines too. Mrs. allace has proved herself more than a match for most of us would-be intellectuals. V ' lRGIMA WHEENIA ' .Marlboro, New Hampshire Me have alwa s felt that ' irginia was born several hundred years too late. She seems to fit in so perfectK to the time when she woidd have worn flowing robes and pearl head-dresses and fastened her token to her knight ' s sleeve before he rode away to battle, but such is not the case. She seems, however, to live in a world a bit apart from the rest of us, where she retires fre- (piently to forget such trivial things as classes. ' b H Class ’Ereasiirer (.?)

We ' d like to say what we think of one of the nicest girls who has ever slipped along the hollow halls of E. C. ()., but if we did, she might see it and think we were after a (piarter. RC ' EH YOUNG We remember Ruth in our Freshman year as a sweet and earnest student. The next year we all thought of her as a real Emersonian. When we were all respon- sible (?) Juniors, her absence was a disappointment to all. But now that she is here again and is one of the gang, we realize just how much we have missed a sym- pathetic and encouraging friend. 29

192S lifucrsofiian 1928 riiior Class 2;)istorp In the I ' all of tlu t‘ar tiiiicttTn luiiulred t eiit -tour a little band of adveiiturer ■ ' Ct sail from all eorners of these L nited States and Canaria and landed one bright September da in Boston. lmmediatel they were orjj;anized into the Freshman Class of I ' .merson College — a b resbman Class that w as destined to e ol e into a class of nrwht setiiors. I here w ere biw ones, little ones, w irle ones, narrow ones, such a heterogeneous lot in fact, the were somethin of an eniffma e en to themseKes. et out of con- fusion and, I don ' t quite et the hanw of things, came an Idea. — ' Fhis Idea was for the h resbman Stunt. Since our career w as still a hit haz w h not emhod it into a stunt? We became forthwith a life-sized Cross-Word puzzle for the rest of the college to figure out for themseKes. I here were son s, too, suny; to the tunes of Nurseiw Rh mes, as befitted our station in the educational scheme of thiiiffs. What infants we were! How meek! Now r e lined our Senior Sisters! (And I ' m sure our Senior Sisters must ha e adored their small hut bright Infant charges.) W’hen the Fall of IK25 rolled around we were hack with renewed ijfor. We had shed our bab teeth and were sutferinw ffrowinif pains. ' Fhe hall bey;an to roll hen we entertained the h ' reshmen. .All by ourseK es we had a Circus — with clowns, fortune-tellers, side-shows, soda-pop, e er thinw. .And our patrons had no more fun attendiiifi than we had performing, f.ater in the tear, when we began our search for a Sophomore Pantomime, we could find nothing suitable for the talent running riot in the class. I hree of the class geniuses set to work and as quick as magic, there were I ' liree masterpieces fresh from the press aching to be acted h the class mimes. ' I ' he songs this time were set to operatic airs as befitted our Superior State. Surel no class e er had a more delightfulK egotistical w e-didn ' t-mean-to-he-stuck-up year. ( )ne fine hall da in IP2f) we awoke to find ourseKes back from acation — Juniors. ' e di ed into the swim of schoid acti ities, and though the wa es daslieil high and mightiK we came without disaster to the shore of our Promised laind as — Seniors. ’File bright spots in the career of e er Junior are the ' f ear Book and Junior W eek. so life as a Junior meant smelling out a joke, hunting up a picture, composing a erse or two or dreaming of the gow n that would sway to the music at the Prom. Junior eek opened w ith a song da that bespake the talent of the two who com- posed and coached the songs. I ' hanks to them the were well directed and well sung. Stunt da came w ithout an member taking the life of the Junior w ho donned his most familiar garb and chanted his fa orite teaching phrases. Prom night rolled around. It has been rumored on good authority that some of the favors, cigarette lighters, are still working! Fan am Prom committee heat that record? ;!()
