20 THIC CRIMSON stlllltlii CLASS HISTORY. One of our prominent present-day authors. in a recent book has named what, in his opinion, are the Thirteen Truly Cireat Things in l.ife. Among them he mentions Dreams, Occupation and Knowledge. Vfe, young as we are, have experienced some Truly Great Things of l.ife. Four years ago we left the shoals and steered our frail barks into a broader and more open sea. Wye began our hard climb to the ridge of the foot-hills -if edueationgwe entered High School. The upper classmen greeted us en- thusiastically, but what did we care? Little did they think that their jeers of scorn and condescension might be inter- preted as shouts of joy and welcome at the advent of such a class. VVe were Freshmen, ignorant and in- nocent, but we had our Dreams- Dreams of what the next four years might bring us. The only really im- portant event of that year was the win- ning of the track meet against Central -a mere foreboding of future athletic prowess. Almost before we knew it we were Sophomores.

Again we were doomed to accustom ourselves to new quarters. VVC Were cruelly torn up by the roots from the old soil and replanted in Convention Hall. No more could we loiter about those corridors! No more could Vlfashington and Caesar smile down upon us from those walls! No more could We enjoy our- selves around that old reading tablel It is but another proof of our great courage and fortitude that we have en- dured it so philosophically. Things really began to happen now. lVe were upper classmen, we were be- ginning to be looked up to as superiors with something like awe, and more than this, we were attaining Knowledge. Of course, we had learned before this but a supply really large enough to be no- ticed was until now denied us. VVe were having more Occupation, it is true,
