KNl l'SHN, XY.Xl3NliR, , Greetings From Class of '17 T would make us all happy if the class of l',Pl7 could gather into some snug corner and join in greetings to all our Macalester Friends. Instead I must try, while sitting here alone in my harraeks at San Antonio, a lonely Sammy, to express what I feel all my classmates would wish to say, if they could mould their thoughts into one tablet. XYC. who a few months ago were a happy crowd around Dear Old Mac, now are scattered everywhere ln the Service, some in the quiet of civilian life, and others in uniform. XYherey'er we may be, we are proud to have had a chance to answer our Countrys call, just as we were proud to show our loyalty to Macalester. Cut off as we are from the center of your life at Mae, we have few more pleasant times than when the choice bit of news comes to us with the Mac Vileekly. With all our hearts we express our appreciation to those who are responsible for this thoughtfulness. The dreams that we have-they are many-are filled with scenes from XYallace Hall. Shaw Field, and every nook that we learned to love so well, always ending with visions of the time when we can all join hands again in fellowship. Filled with love and loyalty' for our Alma Mater. the menihers of the Class of 1917 join in wishing to all our friends. old and new, some of whom we have never met, the very best of wishes. May she find with you as she has with us a very choice place in your hearts. -CHARLES GERLINGER, President ,l7. 28

Class History of '17 Ethel McClure. I Ho! friends and fellow-students, And hark to what we sayg The Seniors ride in all their pride In grand review today. Unto the worthy Seniors VVe sing this little lay. When we began our brave career T'was on our Flag Rush Day. II Relic of all barbariandum! 'Twas on the campus green. Now, on the place where war was waged, Our new Hag pole is seen. That was a bloody battle, Oh, how the hairpins flew! The Sophs were gaining in the Fight. Wfe knew not what to do. III ' Then up spake Howard McNiven CThey thot 'twas just a jestj, That pole I'll climb to the very top, And there our flag shall rest. Up went our jaunty hero And none could say him nay. He climbed right on amid our shouts. IfVe beat the Sophs that day! IV That year our Freshman President VVas Zeis with auburn hair. We'll ne'er forget our iirst meeting And all the worthies there. Swan with Rules of Order, Diere who watched the door, Wylie with 'fMr. President, May I please take the floor F V Our next year went off full of pep, For VVylie was, you see, Our Prepay wise, who saw that all Was as it ought to be. , In Bucka's Hall our party was, Wliicli made some look askance, For we were told to come as books, VVhile some came for a dance! VI Right glad were all our classmates, who, In their Junior year, VVere asked to our first party, gay, At Carlton Ralph's quite near. There learned we many secrets strange From bottles' reckless whirl, From 'KWho here will be married tirstu To 'fWho'll be bachelor girl. 27
