I had suc- cumbed to despair when I caught sight of H. G. XVells' Outlines of History, for then l was morally certain that he wasn't present during all the events he chronicled. XVhy, then, should I be utterly cast down? So I began, feeling firmly convinced, how- ever, that l had missed a great deal in not being here in 1919 and seeing Dad Sims as an apple-checked country boy, or Clara de Shazo as a green little Freshie. lint even considering the notable history of every class from 1842 to today, I feel justly proud of the Class of '23. Coming through a period of stress and strain: in which we lost some of our beloved classmates and faculty members, an emergence of leadership has occurred-leadership in every college activity. Some of our members who set out with us in '19, by summer work, finished with the Class of '22, but, though we feel this loss keenly, to even the balance we have gained noteworthy recruits. Our president came to us from 'Bama in '20. VValter has plenty of good ole class spirit, besides being the cherished idol of the llodel School, where the girls daily sigh for Rudolph Clarence Bennett, a three-year man, has added great strength to our class, while last year we gained a budding authoress in Mildred Smith. Now, remember, I am just mentioning notables who entered after 1919. Turn back to those write-ups and you will see of what kind of people our class is composed. But I find myself unable to ramble long in those preceding years, but, wishing rather to muse, to reminisce a bit about this year. Remember Burnett taking the wooden bleachers November 25th, and making good the word he gave Birmingham-Southern. VVe did it, didn't we? Can you ever forget Mr. Heath telling all those folks in Cullman what we had here at Howard until one man got so overwhelmed that he inquired if we had a Ku Klux? But, even in those far-off, undesirable days of gray hair, false teeth and grand- children, will your memory of our class meetings grow dim? Can you forget those weighty discussions of canes and belt buckles? Or, won't you remember that fierce letter that we got about the rings-and shiver? And the commencement-the parting of our ways. That happy-sad time. The ties of friendship tugging painfully-yet sweetly. Let us, my class-mates, think not of l'envoi, but of reunion.
