. ..a.., Class History, '02. , -5,5, ,,,.,1---1:5 UNT MIRANDY had come from Peaville Center to see her brothers only daughter git her sheepskin. Several days before that event, as Sarah Belinda appeared in all the glory of her cap and gown, her 'f +77if' admiring relative exclaimed: M W ell, I never! ls them your quituatin' raiments? . Yes,', answered Sarah Belinda, proudly, this is the badge of the senior-isn't it wise looking? Oh, welre a wise class, Aunt Miranda. 'Wouldn't you like to hear all about us, from the time we were baby freshies? VVhat's them?,' demanded her aunt- dew tell 1 K'VVhy, thats what we were when we first came to college-green and all that, you know. First thing we did was to steal a cake from the kitchen. Thought it was the Soph's property. instead it belonged to the Present Day Club, and my, didn't we catch it? We were distinguished, too, for our extraordinary ambition in Hygiene-for we went to every lecture, and really took notes! Besides, we were famed for our attendance at chapel, and for our meekness under snubs, for our 'genius crushed to earth,' always 'rose again' Here she'paused, breathless, and her auditor ejaculated: Yew donyt say? Then, the next year, Sarah B. continued, as Sophs, we had a 'nice scrap with the Freshies-let them think they beat-mere courtesy, of course, for they knew that we knew-what we knew. Besides our basketball team beat theirs- 'most always. Then, we gave the most original Tree Day ever seen. Everyone said it was great-and it was. MSOEH Yes, and the next year we were juniors-lovesick Queens of Hearts. most of us got engaged, so I've heard-'cept me-but we haven't had any engagement spread since the first year, when we had our grand picnic that we've celebrated annually ever since. Our 'Sprightly Romance of Marsac,' that we gave our Freshies, was a work of art, and the entertainment they gave us was too cute for anything. Wfell, then we had a Junior prom., too, and wasn't it a swell one? Wfhy, Aunt Miranda, you've no idea how nice it was.', VVell, I dew declare ! , ' p 'Um-huh,', smiled her enthusiastic niece, and now, this year we're Seniors, and- with a toss of her head that set the tassel on her cap to wagging roguishly - smart, my! Tn philosophy we think thinks ,till we go to sleep, in science we're brainyg we have dramatic hends-I ,mean stars-and everything. VVe are friendly to everyone, and never think of squclching even the greenest 'freshie or boldest soph or most romantic junior. Ch, l tell you, there never was a greater class than 1902 Hum-'pears like youlve got a mighty good opinion o' yourself. In my day, folks warn't so set up- UNO? But in these days, if you don't sound your own trumpet youill die unnoticed. Besidesf' as she gave her portly aunt a hug that nearly smothered her, we are an exceptional class-don't you believe it? You will, at Com- mencement. ' c 27
