Gllann Qininrg 'gtizffki HISTORY of 1911? That would require more eloquence than our 'gg Qs very professors possess. Besides, were a Senior to write his own class his- 7?p K gf E tory, someone would be sure to say, Too much self-praise! So, it may w be best to publish a letter which was picked up on the campus not long lgdgt' ago, and later found to have been written by one of our little Freshmen: My dear, dear Mamma:- Cne more week of college gone, and each week seems better than the one before. It's a grand old school, but the grandest thing about it is the Senior class. Of course, my class is fine, but oh! I wish I were a Senior! Theres are twenty-one in the class and that's the largest there has been for a long time. They started in the right way when they were Freshmen by letting the Sophomores beat them in basket-ball. I understand that is the proper thing to do. But when they were Sophomores, they won both the tug-of-war and a basket-ball game from the Freshmen. One day, that same year, the Freshmen girls thought the Sophomores were going to have a social, and wasted a whole afternoon tying them up. But when they found that the Sophomores hadn't even planned a social, they felt so squelched that they left the 1911 girls alone after that. The 1912 class tried to get ahead of 191 1 lots of times, but they couldn't do it. V You,ve heard me speak of Tree Day, haven't you? Well, last year, when they were Juniors, they surprised the whole school by coming to the banquet in yellow caps and gowns, with brown tassels on the caps. Everyone says they looked just like the Senior Class, only much brighter. Even Prexy said they looked just lovelyf, And, oh! mother, I wish I could have been at their Hop! It must have been beautiful, all trimmed up with brown and gold paper and chrysanthemums. The people that were there haven'i, stopped talking about it yet. But there is some consolation. Maybe I'll get a bid for their Prom. Commencement week. Now that they are Seniors, you ought to see them work. The school never could exist without them. They were the first class to make a pledge toward the Endowment F und and they are going to give two hundred and ninety dollars. But just wait till you see their Tel-Buch! I'll bring one home with me in June. There goes the supper bell. Good-bye! Your loving daughter, M., 26
