LOOKING BACKWARD. In june, 19oo, Hdux fe1ninafttcti,!' there will go forth from the classic halls of the Fredonia Normal halt ahundred young people. Inscribed upon their banner will be the device, From school life into life school. It remains to the historian of the future to chronicle the rank of each, Whether A+, A, B, C, or alas! C-. For the present may be written only what has been. In one respect, the organization of this class was like the building of King Solomon's temple-there Was none of the customary strife and din. Oihcers were chosen as by clock work, but sad to relate, th-e in- spired poet, Mr. Runkel, left school and the nine muses went with him! The fragrant flower of unseliishness blossomed in every heart. No one would rob his neighbor of the honor of being class poet. Nearly every member was duly elected to the oficice and as duly resigned. Driven to desperation, the class tried to make a poet out of a Taylor. But alas! no matter how good the material, poets are born not made. Then when vis- ions of class night with no poet were thronging thick and fast, lo! the good Shepard of the flock, magnani- mously laid aside her robes of office as historian and assumed Apollo's golden lyre. May Latona's son shower eternal blessings on her head and the nine muses so inspire her that of her it may be Written as of Orpheus of old, Wherever she sat down and sung She left a small plantation. The class of rgoo has never had a quarrel, but it contains some strong characters and it, did take two hours and a half to select a class pin. Pins of all sorts were considered, from a dainty little wreath to a glittering breastplate emblazoned with the name of the school, year, month and day, motto, class colors, and the president's picture, which she generously offered to donate. Finally, when the sun had sunk to rest and the room was illuminated only by a ruddy Bfrjunson flame, an order was obtained from the surviving member of the committee and the agent, who had missed his train, told his thoughts to the night alone. The class iiovver selected was the White daisy, emblematic, in its great tenacity of life. of the persever- ance that has brought the members unscathtd through permutations and combinations, location of the ecliptic and kindred ills more Urniserabile visu than ever the pins Aeneas endured. l 2 .
