Owing to war conditions, four members of the 1920 class were given the privilege of taking the four-year course in three years. It has meant a lot of work for them, but they have shown themselves equal to the task. It is hardly necessary to explain to anyone who the handsome and illus- trious-looking body on the left side of the page are, but for the benefit of those who perhaps are not very well acquainted with us we shall be glad to give the needed information. We are the class of 1919! We are always mod- est in thinking of our life’s prospects, but humble though we may be, we can- not help but know that we will give the world at least a little jolt when we all make our debut in the Hall of Fame. They speak of rising to heights of glory. For 1919 that will be a task of no great difficulty for with so many young giants in our number we could reach as far as Mars if necessary. A substantial foundation also could be readily supplied. Therefore, Sir World, we are at last ready to fdl that position you have kept vacant for us and we assure you that we shall perform our duty creditably.

CLEO DID IT LL have to go—and miss the dance!” mourned Nelle Skene to a number of sympathiz- ing friends around her. “But you can’t—its the Class Dance”, objected her chum, Marian Oliver. 1 he Class Dance!” echoed the other members of the group. “Of course”, lamented Nelle; “don’t you suppose I know its the Class Dance? That makes it all the worse. But you can see for yourself how it is”. And then she added in a tone of hoplcless final- ity, “I must go”. “Read it again. What did she say?” asked one of the boys, and Nelle, obeying him, slowly drew forth a letter from her pocket and read: “‘Dear Daughter:’ (that’s mother you know) ‘Dear Daughter: William’ (that’s Uncle Bill, you know) ‘Dear Daughter: Will—’” “For pity sakes!” cried one of the girls in exasperation. “Are you ever going to get beyond ‘Dear Daughter?’” “‘William has asked a number of his college friends out’ ”, proceeded Nelle mildly “ ‘the very same night that your father and I had planned to entertain the Country Club, so I fear I shall have need of your salad forks. I‘m sure, dear Nelle—’ ” “That’s you, you know”, interrupted one of the boys, michievously. “ ‘I’m sure, dear Nelle’ ”, continued Nelle, “ ‘will not mind riding out with them. She will have to stay over night, of course, but William will show her a good time. I shall expect her on the 4 :30 train. Very affectionately, Your Moth- er’ ”. After this reading a heavy silence fell upon the group and they looked as dismal as could be expected when a class favorite was to be absent from a class affair. Suddenly Ray Williams, who w as noted for his optimism and also for his prefer- ence for Nelle to any other girl, placed his forefinger at his forehead and a look of inspiration spread over his counten- ance. The group looked hopeful; Ray’s post- ure w as familiar to them, and they knew it usually meant something interesting or some way out of a difficulty. “Friends and countrymen”, said Ray, slowly and decisively, “I know' how to solve this problem. Why not let Cleo do it?” “Cleo!” they exclaimed in a chorus. “Never!” “The very idea!” “Can you imagine anything so ridicu- lous?” “W ait!” interrupted Ray, authoritative-
