1922 ND the beginning but rarely matches the end. Since that A hot October hrst in 1918 the Class of 1922 has seen many ships pass into the night. It remembers the goodold days of the S. A. T. C. when one had to go earlyto get: a Chalr 1n the llbrary of an evening, when taps sounded lights out at ten, and when there were always clingstone peaches for breakfast. That was the year that the class won the race to Oregon City and back, and the year the lawn party given in its honor was rained on. Life still tasted fresh the year 1922 was a Sophomore. The Class distinguished itself athletically again when the high point women in the athletic meet were overwhelmingly Sophomores and the Victory in the Oregon City race was again its prize. Sunday after- noons there were vespers in Chapel. During the week every one patronized the Monday night and the Wednesday noon dances, and the lakeside path was not closed to traH-ic at six ohclock. By its Junior year the Class had begun to feel like a concrete example of diminishing returns. From the largest Class in the history of the college it had shrunk to the smallest. But it still had an identity. It wrangled over the weighty question of printed versus engraved invitations to the Junior Prom, it per- petrated Reed Day, and it wrung from an unwilling faculty per- mission for the last two-o,clock Promenade now and forevermore. And now the Class of 1922 has evolved into the cap and gown, - the Senior table, the Chapel entrance, the thesis, and the oral. It smiles patronizingly at the student who is worriedtover an English theme or a biology quiz. And it sighs for the good old days when there was time to eat Chinese noodles or hike to Oswego Lake.

Achievement comes about as easy to her as humdrum existence to the rest of us. Her cups testify to this, as well as her election to class oHice, athletic council, and presidency of the women,s dormitory. She sings alto in the Chorus and dispenses Chewing gum and golf balls in the Co-op. Opal deserted us for one year at California, but returned to the fold for her last year. She is modest in spite of her ability at husky jobs. Not even pleading calls to go strolling will distract her when her mind is made up to study. Her ambitions include a brilliant future. JAMES THOMPSON HAMILTON PORTLAND This man rounded his career of activity upon the Reed college campus with the presidency of the Senior class. Quest, Drama Club, football, basketball, track, house presidencieseall these were meat for him. Besides these Hamilton as a member of the old firm of Ham and Hunter and as an independent more recently was the star photographer of the campus, and has been re sponsible to a great measure for the success of the three GriHins. In spite of all these responsibilities, Hamilton is a Cheerful cuss, and we wonder why he wasn,t called Sunny instead of Jimmie. MARY GERTRUDE OPP PORTLAND Gertrude is full of vim, vigor, and vitality, despite being president 0fthe Amanda Reed Asso- ciation, singing in the chorus, and dissecting luck- less pups. Although C assumes the dignity of quiet, it is rumored that Gertrude makes it a veritable F among the womenis houses. Most everybody in C keeps company. Gertrude is no exception. Her constitutional timidity in Fords would almost belie her dexterity in turning cart- wheels. In this latter accomplishment she is the envy of every CO-ed in college. Page TuwnIy-nine
