THE ECHO opus “Well, Howard, I see you’re back from S. R. Were there many things of interest there?’ ‘It was an exceedingly interesting community, Cedric, old Chappie. Es- pecially the H. S. Very promising bunch, Cedic, old dear, especially the sec- ond year men, ’23 men, they called themselves, but I’m decidedly mistaken, Cedric, if any of them were over 18.”’ “You know, Cedric, they had a game there they called basketball. I couldn’t see any basket tho. Loop ball, I should have called it. Five boys vet out on a floor in gay-colored union suits and throw a ball the size of Augustus Caessassa’s head at a loop suspended about ten feet above the floor. S. R. had a horribly fine team. Four of the five boys were Sophmores. There was one of them, the chieftan I think they called him—no, Captain, that’s the word—who was exceedingly good. He would cast the spheroid into the air at any angle and no matter how he threw it it would always go through the loop. And there were three more of them that did horribly well.’’ ‘And there was a sport there they called track, Cedric. They had an eliptical track which the boys jolly well flew about. There was an implement there which resembled an enlarged macaroon with an iron ring around it. One Sophmore could throw it so far that it took seven bie men to throw it back.’’ “T was talking to one of the prominent members of the Sophmore class aud he told me that, remembering Germany’s late attempt to become promi- nent,, the Sophomore class was not trying to become conspicious, but, my word, Cedric, what if Germany had not tried to conquer the world? That would have been a wonderful elass. ‘You should run over to Santa Rosa next year, Cedric, and look up the class of ’23. It would be well worth your while. Well, Cheero, old Chappie.’”’ ELLSWORTH BARNET, ’23. Twenty-three

SSS THE ECHO — eran: The class of ’24 has not had much experience, but it has showed that it | will stand as high as any. We had a hard time selecting a president, as no- body had the nerve to give a speech at the Freshmen Reception, but at last Loran Johnson aeceped the office. The reception was late, but it was all the better when it came. There was plenty of punch, and everyone enjoyed himself immensely. A cabbage dance by Nazimova (alias Ernest Baer) was received with a great deal of applause by the crowd. In athletics the girls’ class of ’24 is on the map. The upperclass girls expected the Freshman girls’ baseball team would be easy, but the latter won from the Sophmores and then played the Juniors for the Interclass championship. To say that the Juniors were surprised when the Freshmen won is putting it mildly. The girls demonstrated to the school what hard work can do. In the cross-country run the Freshman boys took second placé, beating the Sophomores and Seniors. In the Interclass track |} meet we came in last, but they showed well. We are very proud of our girls as that is very unusual for a Freshmen team to win an interclass championship. On the whole we feel that we have had a highly successful year. Being the youngest class in the school, we have made it a practice to be seen and not heard. But after this year watch our smoke! EDWIN EDWARDS, ’24. —— fi . — oa - q 3 i ee Ne i yy Twenty-five
