Newcomb Senior Class History HE Historian, pen in hand, sits down to write her class history in the time- honored fashion. And this is how she goes about it: She gathers together old Jambalayas from years past, and anxiously and dutifully reads all the other class histories that have gone before hers. She decides to be original, but, upon due reflection, comes to the conclusion that her predeces- sors have stolen her thunder. It remams for her to be truthful, modest and exact. Moreover, she must hasten to complete the history before it is fin- ished — which may sound like one of Oscar Wilde ' s parodoxes, but merely means that the Jambalaya, in its haste to go to press, cannot wait until the Senior Class has properly commenced and thus completed the most important part of its history. The Historian, then, is confronted with various problems. Dare she affirm that 1 920 ' s invincible basketball team accomplished the unheard-of feat of winning the cup for three successive years, when the last victory is yet to come? Shall she boast of performances in dramatics, debating, and the like, when the story is yet in the making? Were it not safer to return to our Freshman year and, after a careful study of statistics, prove that we already showed signs of unusual promise; to meditate upon the glories of our Sopho- more year, when we first won the basketball cup, had more people in Dramatic Club play, and every other activity, than any other class; and, finally, to rehearse the glories of last year? That, surely, is the accepted method of procedure. Still, statistics are boring, and 1920, no matter though we should like to believe it, is not the first class to achieve these things. We maintain that it is an exceptionally good class, but then there liave been others, many others, and, of course, there vAW be still many more whose trail of glory will be as wide as ours. What we have done, we have done well; but, after all, the things we have done are not the things that count the most. It is what we have been. And that is where I 920 comes into her own. It is a good class because the girls are unusually fine. And there you have it. There ' s nothing the matter with the Senior Class. It ' s all right. (27)
