•THE 1L920 EMF- lEttgtnmtng § tx-A Here’s to our class! May she always have as fine a group of men as she has now. Men of the world; men who, though yet young, are cut out for big things; men who scorn the knocks of this cruel, old world and turn defeat into victory with a smile. We are proud of our past, and are more than hopeful for the future. We are only at the eastern horizon of our lives, just peeping up for our first look at the big, wide world, as the sun at early morn. And as the sun, we shall rise upward and upward,-always advancing, never receding. And so we shall rise to the zenith of our lives and accomplish our purpose in life. 'Then, as the sun sets, and casts its long, purple shadows over the world as a reminder of the work it has done during the day, so shall we try to ac- complish something worthy of note, something that will help our fellow men over some rocky path, something that will make us a success, both in our own eyes, and in the eves of our fellow men. AMONG US MORTALS Another year has rolled around and we find ourselves confronted by a quite momentous problem : that of accounting for ourselves for the year just past. We say a problem, and it surely is when one notes the marvelous changes time has wrought among us. A class history seems to us quite trite. We therefore waive the privilege of tendering our history and instead, introduce ourselves to our new school-mates and remind our older friends that we are still very much alive and still doing business. We will start in by introducing I. L. Illing, student, engineer and typist. Mr. Illing is a man of large stature and fine physique, stands six feet six in his stocking feet, and strikes a four hundred pound blow. As a typist, he performs well. lie plays that mellow toned instrument, the typewriter, with heart rending expression and wonderful technique. This classmate is in a class by himself. Next we wish to present George Wareham, thinker, mathematician and checker player. As a checker player he is without a peer. Mr. Wareham has delved deeply into a multitude of subjects. He loves calculus, is an authority on women, and has a wonderful wealth of flowing, golden tresses. We look to this member of our class family for our fatherly advice. And now we come to Edward Theel. He is a man of business, and a conscientious worker. Mr. Theel’s great hobby is English. The story goes that an English teacher once called for some short poems. Edward submitted the following, which the censor refuses to print. Let us next present R. L. Cassell, inventor, futurist, and a senior member of the firm “Powers and Cassell.’’ He holds many patents on his novel in- ventions. It was he that noted the heating effect when a current was passing through a coil of resistance wire. He simply reversed the current direction and got cold, instead of heat, out of the coil. Now he is designing a new line of iceless ice boxes. Consult him on any knotty problem. He thrives on them. We must also speak of Robert Powers, a man of great foresight, and a designer without equal. He can light up a cigar, go into a trance and. Ye Gods, the products of his fertile brain ooze forth as the sap from .the budding maple tree. His theory of obtaining more from less startled the world, but Page Ninety-seven
