Lawrenceville School - Olla Podrida Yearbook (Lawrenceville, NJ)

After a couple of weeks of quietude we were all alarmed by the epidemic of scarlet fever. Four cases were developed and it was thought possible that the School might be closed. But, no, it could not be. Soon we were told that a council of physicians had pronounced the cases all sporadic and that we would not get any vacation until Easter. Of course we did not know what sporadic meant, but we accepted it as an axiom and went on as if nothing had happened. The only thing that reminded us that anything had happened was the absence of ninety fellows from the School, since three houses were in quarantine. Of course A Night Off and the Debate were postponed until a full attendance could be secured. The quarantines were soon raised, however, and the Periwig Club gave A Night Off. They did so well that two of the cast are, it is said, going upon the stage. Then came the De- bate, followed by the horse elections, and the dances at the Hamill House and Upper, the latter being a very select affair, since it closed the round of gaieties with which we had been observing Lent. When we came back, we settled down to poling and getting ready for exams. The monotony was broken by the Prom. and it was hard, very hard to get back to earth after it, but we did finally suc- ceed in doing so. g And now we are approaching the painful hour of parting, when all hearts are heavy with the thought that we will never again assemble together as undergraduates, and sing 'f In a Quiet Jersey Town and the other songs that we all love so dearly 5 that we will never again stand upon the esplanade of the old Upper and look out over the beloved campus. And, now as we stand there for the last time, a flood of memories pour over us. We realize that old 'Ol has had its failings, its failures, and its suc- cesses, but with all these, we -love her none the less, and we remember that she is still '01, and that she loves dear old Lawrenceville as any of us does his mother, we realize, too, that '01 is the first class to graduate in the twentieth century. She has set the pace for the century. May we all find, hereafter, when we are no longer in the fostering arms of dear old Alma Mater, that we are keeping up to this pace. Farewell 'Ol and may God bless and prosper you. . I-IISTGRIAN. 20
