Svrninr Gllaaa Hiatnrg dun Hi-Tl HE time was four-thirty on a lVIonday afternoon-one of those por- tentous Monday afternoons when the Faculty in solemn conclave sat about the long oak table in Truax Hall. Prex was the Hrst to EE'-H1 speak. f n :AJ Gentlemen, his voice glided softly, it seems entirely fitting ,' and proper at this time that we should devote a proportionate A, 14 amount of consideration to the class so soon to leave us. l mean, gentlemen, that promising class of Seniors, the members of nineteen hundred and twenty-two. I i .,,, ,,.,,. 412214:-e 131212.55 T . - 'B E, fit-f .1 - Y gf iEl!'2'1,-An Chubby, in the corner of the room, gave a subdued cheer, while Flatfoot, mathematically matchin his finger-tips upon the table before him, g stared steadfastly at the speaker, Prex paused an instant before he continued, HLet him who will, speak. Justice shall be done to allf' Little Greek sprang to his feet, his mustache bi-istling. 1 want to say, he shouted, pounding on the table, That l'd miss a pint o' liquor to see a good fight! And by gum! the Class of 1922 has had more first-rate scraps than any other class 1 ever ran up a ainstf' g Their banquets were a success too, roared Supe so suddenly from theother side of the table that Little Greek dropped back into his chair in alarm. They were the largest entering class of their dayf, philosophized Bill Squires. , . . . ,, ' I remember that downstairs in the fourteenth seat of the thirty-second row- There's no doubt but that they are also remarkably gifted with intelligencef' interrupted Bull Durham hastily. Their scholarly attitude signihes as much. As for their athletic ability, remarked Bugs grimly, they are the very cardiac tissue of the college teams. Look at the innovations they have made, Fancher cried dramatically. f'From 1922 came my first class in Dramatic Interpretation. 1922 started the Royal Gaboon and made it what it is-with Professor Brown's assistance and my own. Look at the 1922 HAMILTQNIAN: the first notable issue the college ever had. All the publications, in point of fact, have come under the class' beneficent influence. Lzfe is larger with a cut of full two inches in the advertising space. Even Lzt hasbeen regenerated-H And the Y.M.C.A. has taken to showing Mack Sennett comedies in Commons, put in Bonham sorta ooce. Baldy blushed and reached under the table for an -imaginary piece of paper. At this critical juncture there came a rap at the door. Bibs, who was the nearest, opened the portal in obedience to Prex' commanding gesture, revealing Freddy Benson. Telegram for you guys, said Freddy courteously, extending a yellow envelope. It was Prex who opened the missive and read: The Catacombs, Rome. What would college have been in S. A. T. C. without '22? 'tTrot.,' E311
