CLASS HISTORY (By Henry Decker) I was meandering slowly along through the lower corridor one morning, when suddenly a soft feminine voice fell upon my ear, “Oh Henry, won’t you write in my memory book?” “And mine too?” chorused a crowd of gay young damsels who quickly surrounded me on all sides. Of course I couldn’t refuse the ladies so I obligingly took theiu books and with them ( the books) under my arm, sought a quiet seat in the study hall. Slowly turning the pages, I noted here and there interesting snap-shots, newspaper clippings, references to jokes, programs from school plays, and a host of little notes beginning, “I shall always remember,” or “Can you ever forget?” I was just about to add my promised bit, when suddenly I saw this remark. “Will you ever forget the time when I was really slender?”—and it was signed Ann Wolf! Thinks I, “That must be ancient history”—this with all due apologies to Ann—and then before I realized what had happened, I was back in the land of my Freshman days recalling those good old times of real sport. Suddenly a thought struck me (as they occasionally do)—I remembered Miss Wilson’s parting injunction. She had said, “You are to write up the class history, but try to follow some new and original plan. Above all, don’t begin your account with ‘On the first day of September, forty-five frightened little Freshmen entered the portals of Hall!”’ Here was my chance. Why could I not turn through these memory books and dig up some really interesting bits of history about my fellow class mates? No sooner said than done; from that day on,‘I began studying memory books. I herewith give you the results of my exploration. The first bit of information is in the form of a note. “Dear Madelon: Say, weren’t you peeved when we got sent home this morning for an excuse because we were half an hour late? I don’t care if we were late every morning last week, it’s a shame we had to walk all that way back home. Never mind, we’ll get even some day! Yours, Bernice.” I looked at this note in surprise because I knew these girls were seldom tardy in their senior year, and then I understood. The paper was wrinkled and yellow. Yes, it had been written when these two were mere freshmen—before they knew any better. NINETEEN
