The Senior Class The Class of 19244 has come tothe close of its college career. W'e've played our last basketball and football games. lVe've flunked our last flunk, and bluffed our last good bluff. VVe've had our class squabble. VVe have assimilated ,more or less, all the varied kinds of book education which have come our way, and have still escaped with a normal and necessary quantity of ignorance. VVe've gathered up all the honors we could secure by hook and crook, and have lived up to them nobly. But, after all, it isn't what we've learned, nor what we've accomplished, nor what we have achieved in the way of honors, that makes us glad we have been together four years at Knox. It is tthe friends we have made, the contacts we have had with worth-while professors, the knowledge we have gained of ourselves and, above all, the memories that we will carry away-those are the things that make four years in college the most vivid memory in the life of any college graduate. Book stuff is ainccessary part of every student's life, and a thing once learned will leave its impression, ever after the fact itself has been forgotten. But who in '24 will forget the Freshman scrap, in which we almost tore down a barnfbroke a plate-glass window, and had class levies for the next two years to pay for them? YVe could run a Remember When list that would shame all Chicago colyum- nists. 1 Remember when we used to have those All-Freshman parties in the gym, from seven to eight every VVednesday night? ' I'll say! Remember when they accused us of putting out the Yellow Jacket, and someone sent the fake notices, calling us to the President's office? And we didn't do it, it was a bunch of Senior men who put it out.', Ye all say, remember the Junior House? Boy, do I! l Remember the party after the Endowment Campaign? And remember when the Beta house always used to catch on fire during chapel, and the Wooglins steamed out fifty per? Remember when- Each one of us has his or her own private remember whens -which are too personal, or to incriminating to be dragged forth for the public eye, and we can add indefinitely to the list to suit ourselves.
