20 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE CLASS WILL We, the class of 1925, about to enter upon another sphere of our lives, and realizing the many dangers facing us, propitiously make the following bequests: To the Junior Class, our respective places in the Senior study hall with the suggestion that when in a playful mood, they toss about something other than desks. To the Sophomore Class, our surplus wisdom to aid them in their various studies, especially in the translation of Cicero. To the Freshmen Class, the privilege of displaying their superi- ority over the incoming Class of Freshmen. To the Freshman Class to be, a printed placard reminding them that they must not loiter in the halls after one o'clock. To Edgar Bowen, Lyman Jordan's astounding ability to occupy and hold down the hall bench. Though Lyman had the belle from Clarksville with him, Edgar will have his avoirdupois. To Jerry Gritfen, IIammy's argumentative inclination to quibble over half a poi11t. To Charlotte Pauley, Mickey McIIale's ability tthis does not mean that Charlotte needs this bequest-hardlyj. To Kathryn Wilson, Uliobw Baker's aloofness. Dudley Wade is indisputable popularity with Miss Johnson to the masculine member of the Junior Class who is lucky enough to win her gracious smile. To Al Rosbrook, Millard Nehemiah is title as advertiser of Hart, Schaffner and Marx. Vera Buttonls preference for English IV last semester and the necessary till conferences connected with it to Miss Alicia Andrews, with the stern command that Alicia be as attentive and interested in the said conferences as t'Buttons has always been. To the most awkward members of the Freshman Class, Fannie MeDonough's agility for bumping herself, particularly her head. To Charlotte Pauley we leave a nice feathery, soft cushion to be used i11 place of Wilbur in the flivver since Wilbur is going to leave the fold. A To Misses Kay, IIall, McCredie, Cullis and Pauley a time table informing them of the most advantageous hours to be present in the rotunda. This table is composed by the male members of State college.

16 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1925 The greatest moment, of our lives is fast approaching. We have been looking forward to it for four years: now that we are really here we are appalled by the significance of the occasion antl the fewness of our numbers. We entered ninety strong: we leave, twenty--tive of us, if all are fortunate enough to obtain the favor of the Board of Regents. We are now not quantity, but quality. ,. In the fall of 1921, 90 trembling youngsters crowded into room 302 where they were duly initiated by Miss Cushing into the straight and narrow path belonging exclusively to freshmen. Of course we also made the acquaintance of the other members of the faeulty who came i11 at stated intervals to further bewilder our con- fused brains by an array of classic information. As we left that tirst day we wondered if we 'd ever feel at home. But. the worst was yet to come. Was room B in that funny building over the cafeteria? Where could the 'tbook room be? Room 258 must be in the basement, and thus it. went. Some of ug were fortunate enough to find the right rooms, others walked straight into the dens of the sophomores. liut finally we became accustomed to the routine, and the end of that first year found us or as many as had survived the terrors of exams, being reluctantly handed over to the tender care of Miss Johnson. Now that we had risen to the elevated position of sophomores, we reorganized our class, which the year before had been organized with Ellamae Allan as president, and elected John Shea. Evidently it was too much for him for he soon left and We elected George 0 'Connor to succeed him. Before the year was over we heartily wished that Caesar had never lived, but most of us succeeded in arriving at Junior Study Hall by the next fall. I-ly this time most of us had been initiated into some society or other, and we were ready to begin the year on even terms with our friends the Seniors, even if Prof. Sayles did mistake Room 304 for freshman study hall. We elected'Frances McDonough president and We could now with all safety take our turn at being dignified. But what would we have done without Cleves' giggle? And Bessie surprised us all by entering upon the scene a la Gloria Swanson. Several: have been the victims of her charms, but we may venture to say that we do not blame them in the least. Our class walked off with both medals for Prize Speaking, Sterling Ferguson and Trudy Hall being the recipients. Then we
