THE LLAMARADA 23 Ravellings from the Senior Tassel V kl.' .I'1.E Senior tassel is made up of many strands, but there are Q if :ij 1 four of particular interest and importance-the J. D, E, and ,fir aff l'. 1 No, Sophomores, this is not a lecture in Ilible l. Cheer qv sl , . , . . . A up. leihaps when you attain the lofty summits of Senior intellectuality you may be able to bring such scholarly terms into your daily conversation and xvritinglj lfVe will take them up in the order given-first the I or Jesting strand. This is characteristically bright and clever and deals with the VVit and Humor of the Nineteen-sevens. lt tells of their jovial, happy spirit and love of fun. It tells also how the Ll..xM.xR.x1m Board suggested Ravel- lings from the Senior Tassel as the title for the class history. This touched the Nineteen-seven sense of humor. The subject was not only suggested but stiggestiwv. Apparently they were not wearing well, if they had already begun to ravel. Possibly the lloard meant to imply-deli- cately of course-that the Nineteen-sevens were fast developing into promising candidates for the much talked of Old Ladies' Home. But had they observed the calm LU. sedate t?J manner in which the whole class donned caps and gowns between 8.34 a.m. and 8.34Mt a.m. each morning, they might question the candidacy for that institution. But we must pass to the D or Dramatic strand. This is particularly long and brilliant. The incidents set forth are both interesting and well known. Who has not heard of the famous performances of Fanchon the Cricket and The Lady of Lyons, and the way they took the college by storm? VVhen in the whole dramatic history of the college has a pathetic love scene brought tears save those of laughter to the eyes of the audience? Ah, many are those who can testify to the genuineness of the lachrymal fluid inspired by Claude Melnotte! llut this strand is so familiar to us all that we need dwell on it no longer, but may take up the third strand-the E or Enterprising.
