Class History T is hard to believe that we, the class of 1920, have wandered or rushed, as the case may be, through the halls of Columbian College for four, full, yes brim-iuW years, but such is surely the case. Figures never lie, so it is said, and facts as well as figures prove that it has been four years; and on stopping to think back over the many things that have come to pass in that time we cannot but wonder what the next four will bring forth. Not that we have any doubts as to the success and ultimate triumph of each and every one of the class of ' 20, for it would be impossible to build a false or unsubstantial superstructure on the true and sound foundation that has been given us by our alma mater , but only because it is human to try to tunnel into the hidden stores of the future, and in our case we cannot see anything but glorious treasures at the end of our w ? ay. But, enough of this dreamy soliloquy! This is a history, not a prophecy. Our class came into being in the middle of the world’s greatest w r ar and in the next year that same war took many of our company away, but with the triumph- ant closing of the struggle not a few of these returnee! to finish their courses and get their sheepskins, so in more ways than one we are a class of veterans. This last year has been one of great happenings for old G, W. and ’20 has never been far in the rear in any of the processions. We have had the best of class officers and under their able guidance have had many enjoyable and suc- cessful hand-outs, parties, hops, etc,, which have done much to bind us into a closer and more comrade-like class. We cannot say good-bye to our own G, W. U,, but instead, w F e’ll each just whisper a confident MIZPAH. 24

LESLIE H, ADAMS District of Columbia S A E Cherry Tree Staff , IBIS- ' 20, Leslie is one of the people going to two schools at the same time. Graduating from Columbian C ollege and taking up law at the Law School has made this his busy year, but he seems to stand the gaff 1 ' O. K. Leslie is proclaimed by all who know him as a genuine all round fellow. His only failing seems to be his addic- tion to shell-rim goggles RUTH FRANCES ALLEN District of Columbia .1 ssista at Li hr a r ia tt , 91 7- ' 20 ; Li bra r ia n , S u m m er School, 1919; Student A ssistant in English, 1919- 20; Women ' s University Club, Housekeeper, 1918-19; Sec- retary, 1919920, Though Frances has been with us but three years, she surely has kept us on the jump. When we elected her secretary of W. U. last June, we thought wc had succeeded in placing her in the right category. But now Frances Hashes her left hand, and says that it is the office of housekeeper to which she is wedded. JOHN ANDREW AMAN Maryland Student Assistant in English To John we must say good-bye. However, wc will miss him, for he is a valuable assistant in English and an able leader in Chapel. In languages he doth shine, especially as tutor in Greek; but in 4 Sokeyology ,T he fain would differ with the prof. In closing we all wash this kind and willing fellow the greatest possible success. 20
