Mytholo y, that Heimdall had such an acute sense of hearing that he S Could hear grass grow on asheep's back, and who would dare to doubt his word. When it was reported to The People that the Students were attempting I0 gain the Supremacy of E. T. H. S. in athletics, they hastened forth from the city and arrived at Campus Universitatus I:May 26, IQOOJ . The People, inasmuch as they held in memory that they were Freshmen, did not think that the Students' desire ought to be granted. So the Gods did not favor the Students, because they had not the wisdom that pertains to victory. 1903 . . 50 1901 . . 13 1902 . . 28 1900 . . I7 In E. T. H. S. Miss Grover has been called friend by The People. Early in their second year, she, incited by a desire for consolidation, formed a conspiracy among The People and persuaded them to come forth several times a year with their possessions fnamely thirty-five cents a semesterj D Saying that it would be very easy to acquire the Supremacy of E. T. H. S. in the Class of 1903. To this she easily persuaded them. A scheme is disclosed to The People, that Mr. Froula will read his Paper on the Mycensean Age, and it was the law that the penalty of being flunked should await anyone, who didn't listen. On the day appointed for h the reading, he drew together from all quarters of the assembly room, t e pupils of his History Class. After the recitation, still incensed at this act, '- ' d ' him to re eat his lec- the class sent magistrates to the professor, esxring I p ture. fThus did they show their appreciationj For these, and many other successes, a thanksgiving of all their life is decreed by each one of the Class of 1903. sz- 7'?i1a:r1 ,'5Q2f, 1 mimi 4- .wi-Sz, fffl i il'-L , -4 W ' r l sg ' . fi , ' Z5 - r - Nf fff t w g X .1 22 17,1

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.

' 5 Class of 1904 One day, in September, Igoo, we, one hundred and forty-ive scared Freshies-to-be, wandered into the assembly room and seated ourselves in sympathetic groups. We reported there every day for a week, when we were given permanent seats, and heard, with a little less fear and trembling, the commands of our now revered pedagogues. Gradually we gained cour- age enough to hold up our heads and view things through our own eyes. Nay, more, we learned the way to the class rooms, and no longer begged advice from the sentinels of the halls. At the beginning of the second semester a number of the original class were transferred to New Trier High School, and the rest of us, who felt that we had now acquired all the freshness possible for a fresh Freshie to carry without coming to serious grief, looked forward eagerly to the com- ing of the February class, that we might initiate them in the mysteries of the laws and by-laws of this Temple of Learning, in the way which the gentle Seniors had taught us. We had our reward. Indeed, so untiring were our efforts in their be- half, so complete was the protection given to them by our sheltering wing, that the delighted innocents remarked openly about the homelike atmos- phere of their surroundings. Then, teaching them to repent at leisure, we went our joyous way, and trust that they have now learned the truth, and will profit by experience, as did their friends before them. As a class, we can not boast of much real history, for we have not yet risen to the dignity of having class organizations, but we are willing to shine unknown, and wait the time for our just reward, hoping that in the future, when Professor Boltwood speaks with feeling on his favorite theme of the good old times when everyone was honest and the boys and girls behaved well, he will have us Freshies of 1904 in mind. 32
