10 THE RED AND BLACK SERIAL NO. 1 DAVID BOWEN MISCELLANEOUS PROJECT NO. 1 The History of the Class of '39 INTRODUCTION The writing of history is one of the oldest intellectual pursuits of mankind. The motive is simple enoughg not only is it gratifying to a certain natural egotism and curiosity, but also is it not true that such a knowledge of the past generally explains later outgrowths and develop- ments? Historians, as a rule, begin their works as far back as they are able to trace, basing their information on a wide variety of critically examined sources. In this present under- taking, however, neither space nor time permit such a careful and minute examination into sources, nor lengthy a narration of the deeds of individuals in the manner of more conventional historians. A few years ago, some one hundred and thirty little children came into this world. They grew, as do all children, went to school for the sole purpose of becoming presidents and treasurers, and graduated from Stevens junior High School the proud sons and daughters of equally proud fathers and mothers. Let us follow the fortunes of these promising youngsters through four very eventful years of their lives. CHAPTER ONE With September of 1935, a new freshman class Calaslj introduced itself to the rhythm of the tirst day in Senior High School. I say alas for the Sophomores surely wreaked vengeance on those poor mortals who bore the down-trodden title of Freshmen. Yet they, those unfortunates, were to open the eyes of all by their superior intelligence, their greater working ability, and by their several geniuses! They were even able to survive the rebuffs of domineering upper-classmen, to suffer their formal reception, and to emerge from the turmoil unconquered, though somewhat subdued. Funny how uneventful one's freshman year is. Yet such was theirs. They did give a play but. for the most part they busied themselves becom- ing weathered in the ways of their new environment. CHA PTER TWO As Sophomores, it seems that the trials of their first year hardened their inward feelings for less favored ones. At any rate, the Freshmen of '36 suffered ten-fold the injuries which those of '35 had received. Yet. in a way the new Sophomores made up for their ill usage of the newcomers by letting them in free to the freshman reception Cwoe unto those who failed to take advantage of this kindnessj. '
