1914 l' CIQJ' .STV KD. UTC Junior Editorial VVhen as freshmen we first came to Lake Forest, we really didnft know what to expect or what was expected of us. With the kind assistance of the Sohpomores we soon found out, and sought to act accordingly. VVe came fresh from the comforts of good, quiet homes and maternal pamperings and hence our beginning amidst the strange but now familiar scenes, was made in a very fearful state of mind. But this did not last, after the usual nocturnal trips and constant Hraggingu and finally after the class scrap, we settled down to our books and to college life both of which we were to excel in later on. First of all we were observant, we no- ticed the upperclassmen and sought to imitate them in their educated airs and soon our green freshman air left us, and we were absorbed in the great busy whirl of college life. No longer were we a separate unit, our pleasing manners and general amiability soon won a place for us in the hearts of our professors and of the older students. Our first year ended triumphantly and we looked forward anxiously to the next year when we would no longer be freshmen but high and mighty Sopho- mores. The second year came. VVe came back somewhat smaller in numbers perhaps, but stronger in real feeling. Campus activities served to bring us closer together. VVe had a difficult task in handling the freshmen, but finally succeeded, and held them in their proper place. Our duty seemed to be that of a fond mother or an indulgent father, and we were successful. This year we carrie back fresh from happy vacations spent in various work, determined to work for Lake Forest and 1914, and to make a record worth while. In this we feel we have surely succeeded. The petty differences, so rife among many classes, were never felt in the Class of IQI4. All the while we developed as a class, we advanced the standard of our Alma hflater and it was due mainly to our efforts that the College was placed so high in the government standing of last year. YVe have always been represented in all departments of college life. NVe have had our good times and our serious study and it is with great expectation that we look forward to next year, when we take our final step and enter the last stage of our student days, that of being Seniors. Above all, each of us is possessed of a true and undying love for our dear old Alma lX'Iater and hope to repay her some day by deeds or other records for that indefinable something that she has placed in all our hearts. 28

As you can easily see from her picture. she has quite a Frank expression and really she does not belie her looks. She is celebrated, and justly. for her fudges, which it is said she makes on a gas? stove in her room. She is quite athletic and no matter what the weather may be, it has never been too rigorous for her to go Stro -lling, a very delightful pastime. Among her :activities she numbers: Y.
