DAY DREAM . . . We sit and we listen to the chatter, chatter, chatter Of our various instructors upon educative matter That, emerging from the doorways in a sort of ceaseless humming, Runs in together in on incoherent Chatter; And the silence of the hallwoys, at the coming of the latter, Slips behind the echos and a flatter kind of drumming. We sit and we listen to the clatter that is coming From the teachers, and the echos and the humming, And the drumming. Of the latter;— And we think ... (as they say) ... or, we dream . . . far away . . . Crispy and brown is the campus in Foil, And white in December, remember? It spreads its spring blanket of green over all. To slumber from June to September. To slumber ... to slumber, the campus — so green, So dreamily lonesome ' til autumn; and then It lifts its fair eyelids, still drowsy, serene, For laughter and joy and living ogam. It awokens for you, yet I ' ll see it in sleep; hleor it softly inhale the sweet scented breeze. Once, twice, it will stir to a memory deep, And a whispering murmur will pass through the trees. Then, one day you ' ll come back, and a shivering shock Through the campus will course, I have seen it before. And suddenly all (except Sturtevont ' s clock) Will be smoothly and actively running once more. And once again we ' ll sit and we ' ll listen to the chatter Of our various instructors upon educative matter. And once again the hallways, with the some incessant humming. Will echo to the classrooms whence the ceaseless clatter ' s coming; And once again we ' ll dream . . . and our thoughts will drift anew To tomorrow . . . (and tomorrow we will still be dreaming too). BILL CLARK.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS JETT SUNDERLAND . MELVIN GIBBEL HELEN REHAK . President Vice President, . Secretary Treasurer. . SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS ANTHONY DONAT ROGER PROSISE . . HARRIET CORDELL MARY PINKERTON The class of 1938 entered Illinois College one hundred and sixty strong, comprising the largest class in the history of the college prior to 1934. Though their number has dwindled In the lost four years, they can be proud of the record mointoined by the class as a unit and by out- ' standing individuals among its members. Early in their careers the men of this class became distinguished for their athletic skills. Not a few of them are stars and have been awarded varsity captaincies. Women athletes among the seniors have performed creditably also. Versatility is one of the striking features of the 1938 senior class of Illinois. Debaters, athletes, scholars and socially efficient persons among them have contributed in bringing laurels to Old Illinois. One member of the class, Charles Lockhort, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year. The members of this class who are about to leave the campus look upon it as their home for four years. hHere they did their first real democratic living; here they began developing their deepest interests as tools for life; here they struggled against, and, in o large measure, solved the problems which all youth must meet; here they played and laughed and matured and now as they leave this place they find that its power has deeply affected every one of them.
