—r M THE fi92Ci EMF- £IM=S S' M £— I OUR CHRONICLE It’s always fair weather, When good fellows get together, With a stein on the table And a song ringing clear. This class as a whole has followed these lines pretty closely. We have had our ups and downs, but are glad to say that we are still in existence. Mr. Sunday, a well known evangelist, said in one of the southern technical schools: “Washington, Lee and Lincoln arc great men.” It is true, but to my notion the most they did was to make their names “stick” in history; but take an engineer, he does work equally as great in his line of life and is his name stuck in the U. S. History or the history of any other country?” This class is hardly known in this school but stop and consider. If the school wanted a genius, one that does something to lift the school to the standard that she ought to have they’ll come to this particular class. Why do we say so? The school wanted a band. But who should be the leader? Didn’t they find one in this engineering class; also there was needed an ar- tist. a man that could draw and place photos in this annual. Didn't they find one in this class and so a few other instances could be mentioned? The question now arises, “What is this class which is of such unheard of importance?” This class can be divided into three parts. On January of last year part of this class decided that this is the school that they were looking for and enrolled. During the hot summer months the swimming pool had a stronger magnetic attraction than the school and but: a few of this bunch re- turned the term following the summer months. The second part of this class feared the winter in school and started in April of last year. They found that the little swimming they wished to do and school could be managed together here in Milwaukee with its great Lake Michigan and inside swimming pool and they stayed through the summer months. The third part of this class is the part that according to our estimation is the best part. These arc the boys that saw France and proudly speak of their actions on the front. After returning from the war and being released from active .service they joined with this class. We also have our activities. Last summer we decided to have a three days’ outing at Muskego Lake and those who had time and did go can tell of a wild time. Previous to this we had a smoker and ice cream party and we arc to have such entertainments this year. Are we there with the athletic stuff? Why we have supported one hun- dred per cent and are always there with our toast: You may drink to the heroes of classical fame, To the victor in tourney and fight, To radiant maiden and virtuous dame, To the noble invincible knight; But pour your Rhenish, and hold it on high, I will give you a toast that is better, A toast that will drink with a vim till we die. 'Tis the man with an “E” on his sweater. 4 Page One Hundred Thirty
