THE CLASS OF 1929: A FOUR PART SCENARIO complex actio11. Vie were real actors now, and we felt that we could finish successfully. Our first task was to elect new officers for the year. Frank Krause was elected president, Elizabeth Biddls, vice- presidentg Ida Wixsom was chosen to take care of the correspondence, and for treasurer none other than Charles Neville. After these pre- liminaries were over we 'tbuckled down to work, and before we knew it the usual Christmas and New Year's vacation was over. The Easter interval soon followed, and the company enjoyed th elong looked-for trip to WaShlHgl0l1 by way of New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washiiigtoii, Harrisburgh, and Scranton. After this vaca- tion we were preparing for the grand finale of the whole four years, graduation. That glorious ending is assured now, and there remains only the Commencement scene itself-and that will soon be enacted. So the scenario ends: a happy ending for a happy group, the Class of 1929. R. M., '29. TREASURE CHEST Each year some gifts are given To the members of the class. They're just as parting tokens, As out in the world you pass. I've tried to find a suitable gift For each and every one, And, if you are not pleased with them Wlieii all my work is done: Just take them and say nothing, For I do not mean to knock, And wear a smile when you get them Though they may cause you quite a shock.
