Cla£i£i ropijecp, 1914 liife is a I ' unny proixisition. aftci- all. The world and fate are two things more mysterious than all else. It is well that none of us can see what lies in tlie futui ' e, foi- or against us. At no time during life do we wonder at our future as we did during our college days, wiien both time and money passed by so easily. Later, when the real affairs of life have brought their gladness, or clouds of gloom, we ai-e made to think of those bright, care-free days, when the future seemed so full of good things and our hopes were so high. The last days in college were days of happiness, and yet, when we think soberly and seriously of the separation from the dear old college halls, the leaving behinil forever of the many hallowed scenes around which so many pleasant memories cling, and the parting of the classmates, teachers and friends who seemed as membei-s of a great family, of which we were a part, we are made sad. Something wells up within our breast no pen can describe, tears How down our cheeks, but soon the duties and responsibilities that this new and unknown future has placed upon us make us sober and our minds are fixed only on the present. Often since my graduation have I thoiight of the other members of the class. Now ami then in an indirect way I have received information of some one of them. Having settled down to farming and stock raising in Tennessee as an old bachelor and seeing little of the world, very little infoi ' nuition has come to me of our classmates initil a few days since. One rainy afternoon, during the melancholy days of early November, 1936. I came in from my work and thought to pass away the time reading before the fire in my den. After a few moments F became tired of reading, and, allowing my book to fall, my eyes wandered over the room. Soon they fell upon a group of scenes gathered at various periods of my four years in college. Suddenly I found myself on my feet examining each scene carefully. ly surroundings were forgotten and I imagined myself a college boy again. Each episode of the four years flitted across my memory, recalling many pleasant memories. But soon my I ' everies had to be broken, but, even then, there remained an increased longing to know of the other classmates who had helped to make the college days so pleasant, and in so doing became such dear friends. As the names of the various members of the class came across my mind. following slowly one after another, nuin - memories almost forgotten came from the dark recesses of my mind. The name of our class president. JEiss Quillan, recalled the majiy pleasant and business like meetings that the class had held. Suddenly. T remembered that at our last meeting she had expressed her inten- tion of keeping up with all the members of the class. Knowing that she had information of each one of the class from hei ' (|ues- tioning letters to me. 1 decided to write her and find out about each oiu ' for mvself. 21
