Now the second year, Sophomore they call it, I think, was the year they all learned to drive cars. I'm sure all of Akron will remember that spring, Several times I was forced to exert my magic powers and take to a convenient tree. Many's the time after exasperating cramming I've suffered the long suspense till exam grades were issued. I was always ready with a cheery good work or a work harder next time! Whenever I think of my proudest moments the production of Cradle Song, the Senior play of 1948 comes to mind. During the nightly rehearsals, the peak of my little green hat always began to fall forward around nine thirty fthat is my bed timel, and then Mr. Wright, the director would shake his ash tray which I sat on, and I'd jerk my head up again. We all put lots of oops-a great deal of-work into the production and it was truly a success. My eyes filled with tears as the final curtain fell on the last performance. When I think back over the years I can't forget the many parties I attended. One in particular stands out.

This last spring has been the most important, one of constantly being anxious about next year.

Well, before I leave, I want to say that I wish no credit for the accomplishments of this class and the individuals in it. And so I, Thgie Ytrof, be- come again the invisible spirit of my class. I shall appear Whenever the girls need me, and at times when they gather at reunions. After these thirteen busy years, I feel the need of a long rest, so I will start off along the Old Trail.
