4. I T H A C A N S I A N Junior History 1...-1. The illustrious class, whose periodical existence, to date, is described in this manuscript, will be the regnant power of this gigantic institution of learning within another moon. As soon as the present Senior class dash into the infinite we shall avail ourselves of the opportunity to hold its sceptre and wear its golden crown. Then we shall take the easy seats in the rear anpdawatch the insalubrious efforts of the aspirants to our title. 0 2 '-liao' We are a class that sets a goal and is ambitious to reach it, and reaching, sets another. Though our dreams may never be realized, nev- ertheless, we have had the pleasure of dreaming them. Our personal appearances vary directly as the ones we stand beside. Some of us are large, the dimensions of whom cannot be ascertained by the naked eye. Some you need a microscope to see-others you do not. As for size and talent of the members of our class I can only vouch that you will find quite a variety. It is time for me now to instill into you some definite and insoluble facts concerning the past life of our honorable class. - As freshmen we needed no innovator, although some of the upper classmen thought so. In ,spite of the strange surroundings and many difficulties which we faced during the first few months, we soon became an infrangible organization which has wrought its work with great in- genuity and perfectness. During the initial year we occupied the seats of honor, ffront seats, si1 vous plait J and faced the glaring headlights of the instructor. Occa- sionally we were startled by his thunderous voice as he rolled a note of warning to the naughty seniors. We incorporated some social events into our career, every now and then, which gave life to our class. To us, parties were always real parties and we always enjoyed ourselves immensely. To miss a party put on by the class of 1924 was simply neglecting to have a good time. Chapel may be checked as a social event and in this branch we have always excelled. We always responded readily when it came our turn to present a chapel and always did our best. Our programs were original and showed no lack of talent at any time. They always commanded the undivided attention of the spectators. Undoubtedly the Junior Fair this year, supervised and put on by our worthy class, was the best that has yet been produced. It exhibited a grand assortment of shows and other wonderful attractions. Every- thing showed our matchless skill in producing something that shone with ingenuity and talent. , ' . THIRTY ,f X 1,
