Writing a history of the class of June, 1921, threatened all the proportions of a ticker tape. How in the name of King ,Iames's favorite Bible could I, above all, hope to assemble into one homogeneous mass the deeds and misdeeds we perpetrated on our beloved tutors in our'four for livej year sojourn at Manual? My correspondence course in How to Improve Your Memory in One Evening failed me at the critical moment, so back to the dusty old pile of Prospects I had to go to get the necessary dope. I went in like a cyclone and came out like Stromboli in eruption, emitting clouds of dust. After the usual harsh words, I declared peace with myself and began to sift out the information and dust I had absorbed. Then my pen began to talk and this is what it said: Remember the day, when as a humble Freshman you first planted your foot in Manual and was surprised at the democratic air that existed. What a lost feeling you had when there were none of the 'don't you do this's' and the 'don't you do lhat's' which were your guiding lights heretofore. With not much ado you slipped on your harness and began the four year drag. Your Freshman year was more a period of harness adjustment than anything else. I can't help smiling at your actions in the first G. O. election you encountered. You walked the halls adorned beyond recognition with symbols of the party you favored and in your ignorance you carried the emblems of two opposing parties. fFreshie ingenuity' you might call it. I will admit as you learned the ropes you did throw off the nightmare and jumped back into bed, but I have the upper hand now and where you erred you shall suffer. To get back to the bill of fare. There were other bright lights in your first year at Manual. The appearance of 'The Thunderer,' an outlaw literary publicationg the noise connected with the First Liberty Loan Drive land the periods you missedj all helped to make Manual seem more like a picnic ground. When the 'Golden Indies' appeared you received your first glimpse into the Thespian art at Manual. It was during this period also that Arthur Guy Empey with his five feet nothing came over the top into the Manual barrage after an absence of seventeen years. ln the 'Faculty Follies' you received some sidelights on the human side of teachers and discovered how they acted in their playful moments. Remember especially how Mr. Bloom tried to imitate the 'missing link' and how Mr. O'Donnell portrayed the Kaiser at his worst. The first bazaar you attended and its disastrous after-effects due to excessive indulgence in candyg how you first bought candy and then went outside and joined the Anti-Candy League all bring back memories of your youthful capricer. i261
