When We Were Freshmen « nuor Class tyistorp In the autumn of 1926 there was set a banquet table around which were gathered one hundred and eight young revellers in the atrium of the High School. During the serving of the first course, which was the appetizer, the merrymakers had an opportunity to become acquainted with one another. From a distance come floating to the ears of the guests strains of inviting airs. On hearing this several asked to be excused and so left their companions to search for these entertainers. As the notes died away the servants brought on the second course. To the eighty remaining in the banquet hall the hot substantial part of the meal was set up. They began to eat in earnest, attacking the food as an ant its burdens. There was no distraction for them with the exception of the intermittent chatter of the hungry partakers. Stealthily drowsiness crept upon a number of those who had eaten too much. And soon they were fast asleep. While the remnants were taken from the laden tables, the sixty-six satisfied and awake became their own entertainers. Some danced, a few sang, and several, gifted in the art of oratory, recited humorous and tragic incidents. They were now in the mood of having a good time so that they thought less and less of eating; of course, several could not forget that there was a feast before them. One by one those who had been napping awoke and on finding that their comrades had already eaten the third course excused themselves and left the atrium. The lightest course of all was truly a dessert for the fifty-three because they only nibbled at it. They couldn’t put aside altogether their loveliness they had recently acquired. The delicious victuals and drinks seemed to have sufficed to the utmost. As twilight descended, the revellers in their last moments together at the banquet bid good-byes. With determined steps these avowed left the old hall that had just reechoed with their laughter and were each on their way to their respective Latium before their last curtain call. {23}

PAUL BEIL 947 Main St. The class radio bug is at it again! Every one is very fond of Paul even Mr. Sheaffer. whose sad business it is to assign extra work for his being late. However, good humor and a sly wit are a big asset to Paul's daily life. Paul is not an active participant in anything but the Radio Club. Whatever he lacks in other classes he makes up in his knowledge of broadcasting schedules, programs and stations. Academic Course Radio Club (3-41 MARGARET C.
