Advice to Undergraduates By Edward Bromage, Jr. It is with great pleasure, and at the same time with great sad- ness, that I step upon this stage to advise the undergraduates. The venerable seers of the senior class have been greatly troubled about the condition and behavior of the underclassmen. They were not willing to leave for parts unknown, until they were sure that the traditions and standards of this school would be upheld as they should be. Therefore they decided to call in several specialists to help them in diagnosing the ailments of the underclassmen. It was found that their pulses indicated a very serious condition. It was also found, that they were slightly unbalanced mentally and that they were suffering from numerous other afflictions of which I will speak later. We agreed, however, that with a great deal of care and perseverance they might safely pull through. Such advice as I am going to give, although necessarily brief for so many patients, is most excellent, and if carefully followed, may prove sufficient for the needs of the children of the Enfield High School. Hoping that they will harken unto my words of wisdom and counsel, I will speak first to those who are most grievously afflicted. Freshmen: It is not very often that a distinguished senior ad- dresses you! Tonight, through me the whole senior class speaks to you. Yours is a class of large numbers, not size. We are sorely afraid lest some future Barnum come to take more than one of you to join his midget family. One thing that we dislike is your lack of respect for US. You go around the lower halls laughing and talking when we are around. You do not seem to realize your insignificance com- pared with the Noble Seniors, nor do you seem to realize that in your wanderings some big senior might overlook you and crush you to pieces.
