THE ACORN STATISTICS N assumption of a comparison between our class and the class of ’18 seems somewhat foolish since, by their own statements we are so much their inferiors. Notwithstanding this handicap we have accomplished a great many things of which we are pardonably proud, and our class activities have been carried on with no friction and in the friendliest manner. The school, as a whole has pulled together this year as never before. Our class is composed of fourteen members, nine of whom are girls and the other five, boys. The ages of these students vary from 17 to 19 years. The average age of the girls is 17 years and that of the boys is 18. The height of the students of this class varies from 5 feet, 2 inches to 5 feet, 11 inches. Out of a class of fourteen, thirteen are native born suckers; the other one is fastly becoming civilized. Our class has three good basketball players and several good valedictorians. All of our class is exceedingly industrious. As near as I can state at present, our class will not even be represented by a single member in the bachelors’ club, but I will not say as to the prospects for old maids for that is too doubtful. C.
