24 The Enfield Echo Now, to proceed with the main topic of the evening, namely, defending the undergraduates from some of the atrocious state- ments in my predecessor's speech. In the opening paragraph my Senior friend made remarks about the destructive talent with which the Juniors seem to be endowed. Now, frankly, friends, can you think of anything more destructive and more useless than carving initials on desks? He readily admits that the present Seniors have done just this. More- over, he asks us to do the same if we wish. Can you imagine such an intelligent group of students, as those who make up the Junior class, defacing property in such a manner? I am sure that I can- not. In another statement he spoke of the deference of the Soph- omores toward all Seniors. Oh, vain Seniors, do not tell me that you are as ignorant as this statement leads me to believe you are, that you regarded this attitude as one of deference. Let me at once make it plain to you just what this attitude, whose conclusion you have so stupidly derived, really was. They were merely trying to hide their astonishment of how such a class with so little ingenuity had ever reached the Senior year. My predecessor has also told you of the falling of the marks of the Junior and Sophomore classes. You will notice that he has not mentioned the Senior marks at this point. Well, 1 can’t say that I blame him much. I doubt whether I should have done so had I been in his place if the length of the Senior doubtful list enters into the account. But, take heart, Seniors, we will readily admit that you have been the model class of Enfield High this year. Do you know the meaning of model? The dictionary defines it as a small imitation of the real thing; this definition fits your class admirably. Now, in closing, may I speak in a more serious tone? I am sure that all undergraduates wish to express their thanks for the cooperation which you have given to them in all enterprises. We accept your advice in good spirit and will try to correct what few outstanding faults are present. We, as undergraduates, extend to you our best wishes of success in all future ventures in which you are participants.
