During the year we learned many wonderful thingsg so many, in fact, that it needed our Porter to carry them all. We wandered along the banks of the Rhine with Miss Barrie, and with her saw Caesar propose to Bridget. A few daring but repentant spirits too bet, and the difference betweeni the rough and smooth breathing. As Mr. Beardsley was teacher, it was pretty rough breathing for us most of the time. In fact, the excitement of that class was so great that several of us dropped out- Algebra, too, was moderately hard. Our dreams even be- came symbolic, and so hard did we study that sleep was an unknown quan- tity to us One of our class, however, distinguished himself by composing a definition of Al ebra which is much nearer the truth than Mr. Well's 8 definition. It is as follows: Algebra is that branch of mathematics in which the standings of pupils are investigated, and their marks abridged ' ' ' t ak and lowered by means of teachers' But we were Barr d in, so o spe , from falling over the precipices of discouragement and so finally completed our work. Toward the end of our Sop omo y . Carpenter as our drst president. Quite a disturbance was caused at the election meeting by a few gir ' ballot, But as all good things mus and we are now Juniors. We have decided that it is our duty to mingle with the Sophomores by way of setting them a good example, so we are HOW seated in the big assembly room. At the beginning of the year we e Of Miss Caroline Smith. During the evening some members of other classes Came and tried to get in or else to get o 110t successful and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth outside and tooth action of another kind within. Later came prize speaking preliminaries. We sincerely hope those Chosen will be able to attract enough money to satisfy the appetites of the departing Seniors at the Junior banquet. Our second election followed, and Wm. Holabird was chosen president. As to athletics we have always done well. As Freshmen we defeated the Sophomores, several times. Toward the end of our Sophomore year Robert Brown, one of oui members, broke one of the running records for Cook county. At the present time we are active in athletics, having several members on the Indoor Ball team and Girls' Basket Ball team. Next year we shall be Seniorsg and, having passed unscathed through all preceding trials, we hope so to pass through those to come. As we have f10t, like our predecessors, told you how much Ener we are than other classes, we will not do so. In fact it's not necessary for us. It's a thing k Greek and began to learn the alpha- h re ear we organi7ed and chose Frank lmembers who were in doubt as to a white tcome to an end, our Sophomore year is over h ld our first class social at the home ur ice cream out.

When the Class of 1902 entered E. T. H. S- it was possessed of the average amount of freshness - or freshyness - the words are synonymous, and the usual innocence peculiar to entering classes. There were a few things, however, in which we differed from other classes from the first. For one thing we were so eminently practical. Possessing, as we did, a Carpenter Qquite familiar with Boardj, a Smith, a Porter, two Bakers, and a Weaver, we could well hope to be successful and well supplied with all necessaries during our stay in E. T. H. S. Another Virtue which we pos- sessed in the highest degree was royal blood, for, though many another class has its Lord, who but ourselves can boast a King? And surely we can never lack literary merit while we have a member who says a sluggard is one who slugs. We passed through our Freshman year with few casualties. To be sure, the girls held one informal dance after school in the venerable Freshman Hall of the old building, but Prof. Boltwood did not approve of our devices to make time Qand our feetb ily faster, so the performance was not re- peated. The following year we returned, with the exception of those who were lost, but by no means gone before, to take our place as graduates from F reshyhood. As Sophomores we were very exclusive and preferred the room which is now Senior Hall to mixing with the common herd in the large assembly room. Because we desired it CPD we were seated there and placed at the tender mercy of Miss Grover, for a second time. 28

S. is divided into three parts, one of which the Faculty compose, the Students another, and those who in their Own language are called the Class of 1903, in ours The People, the third. The River of Dis- cretion separates The People from the Faculty, the Rivers of Brilliancy and Goodness flow between the Students and The People. Of all these, The People are 'the bravest, because they are furthest away from the teacher's desk fall having back seats ODI, and misconducts least frequently resort to them. One part of these I:The Peoplej, takes its beginning at the Haven School g the other part rises from the extreme southern portion of the city. Among The People, there are many who are by far the most distin- guished in E. T. H. S. Hollett, incited by a desire for a good translation, says: lf we cross the river, we must carry everybody in our arms. Others show how much school spirit they have by a notice that appeared on the board, that Miss Adams' classes in Algebra would meet to select representatives for the Oak Park Track Meet. None of The People fiunked Latin CPD, though everyone had to take the ex. on account of a change of teachers 5 for our dear Miss Falley allowed Mr. DeVona to see a good thing coming his way, and left us.
