But it was a Nifty VVay of Getting Known, so 1920 Blue Thru. Thus it Expired that in the Course of Human Events, after our Stately Advent to the Joint, and our Low Brow Initiation into the Foreign Customs, that 1920 saw lit to do Something Unique for Herself. This took the Form of a Bacon Bat. Something New! Their Royal Nibs Worried for our Sanity, but when we returned with our Dirty Nlugs Plastered in Smiles, Tired Feet Swathed in Dirty Sneakers, and Full Satisfied Tummies, just Bulging all Over. You Win, they said, and We picked up the marbles. The next Thing on the Program was the Christmas Meet, when 1920 Jumped Right into First Place, and liloped with the Victory. Long about February ISt, came the Demon, said to be a Yearly Slaughterer- Mid-years by Name-He was a Regular Disease, but after Planning his Demise thru many YVakeful Nites, 1920 blade Him Kick the Bucket, in Spite of his Conjunction with Old King Winter. He left the Joint in a Certain State in Peace and Quiet. No Dragons Yet have Knocked 1920 Cold. Vaudeville was the Next Arrival at the Joint, and VVC were well Bill Boarded, Carrying ,Off lVIany liulogies. Then came the Prom-Minus a Prom-but Judging from the Gobs of Uniforms on Deck, VVe can say that VVe lacked Nothing. ln the Spring came Another Meet, but 1920 Tripped up and only Jazzed into Third Place. Finally lt came-The Day when VVC Hopped the Flyer for our First June Camp. XVe woke at the Screech of Dawn, Leaving the Lure of the City and Haunts of Men for the Good Old Granite State. Many had been the Yarns Spun about its Beans and Hash Slinging, going to Bed by Day- light. But 1920 was Nutty to go. To Live at Sargent Camp is to Love it, and We Fell Hard. La Crosse Proved a Stumbling Block, for the Seniors Trimmed Us. There were a number of Casualties on the List, but we had the Time of our Lives. After june Camp, 1920 Sifted all over the old U. S., but September Brought Us Back, Express to liast View, Mail to Peterboro, with Fish Stories Galore about the Summer. We felt like Regular Guysg Spouted the Lingo, Slung Hash, and Swore like Old Timers. Later we had a Howling Time in a Farewell Send Oil to the Seniors, on Board the S. S. Sargent. Much lVliddies, Men and Maidens. Then back to the joint again as Jolly Juniors, We Hu in like any other Guy, and Shimmied along beautifully in Fverything. The Demon Returned but VVC Tricked Him. We'd like to Elaborate but that's another Story, so-Bum Swat. MORA1.: It was no Ill VVind that Blue 1920 to Sargent. VVell Red, Friend. 7 M. L. C., 1920. 5 ,

This Joint, to which 1920 came, seemed most Foreign, because all the High Muckimucks had been to a Magic Camp and talked a Lingo all their own, while we of IQZO had to get acquainted. ln order to facilitate our getting Acquainted, the Y.YV.C.A. came across with a Bear of a Tea, staged in our Honor, and it made the VVhole Business of Meeting People a Cinch. At this Tea, WVC tripped the generally Heavily Light Fantastic with many of the Upper Atoms of Society, Whom YVe discovered afterwards, Hashed Us over rather rakingly. After this Stately Occasion, 1920 Called Itself organized, by appoint- ing that most lvorthy Classmate Freshman Mulholland its President. Charlin was YVriter, because she had a Corking Scrawlq and D. Yates was called to handle the Gold, because We llzonglz! She Looked Honest. With these Three as Leaders, We began our ,lllustrious Career. Now it happened that along this time, The Dignilied Seniors and Jolly Juniors saw lit to Throw 1920 into the Swim of Classrooms, Gyms, Bucking Horses, and their Equals.
