48 THE MEDILLITE Class History A blissful tranquility rested upon the vast, wondrous city of Chicago on September 5, 1924. Old Sol casting his cheerful, sunny beams with all their splendour upon this gigantic citadel, the North Wind resting contentedly, the rustling of the brownish leaves, which had erst-while arrayed themselves in their autumn Hnery, as gentle breezes glided ever so smoothly between the halos of space which were so prominent in their realm-all these seemed to proclaim the fact that it was a great day in the annals of not only our splen- did Cicago, but of this whole wide world besides. And was it a great day? -. My children, you may bet your hyphenated theosophism it was.

We-oh! we'd be everything! And with these hopes and anticipations closes Chapter I of the adventures of the greatest class vm ever was. As suffer-mores there was more suffering in store for us. At first intimidated by the prospect of Geometry, Botany, and Civics, we resolved that we'd wade in, by gun, and tackle 'e1nl We looked at the new freshies with as much contempt as we could muster. But to our disappoint- ment we found it meant nothing to anybody but ourselves. The year
