C-,ifsfistong of Tlrfe geqiois Qflass. ill . 1 N cf 9 1 fl 2' 5 YJ' 1 -nazi' ITII the dignity of Seniorhood comes the diflieult task of manufacturing a class history which shall show us up as the greatest and best class that ever sat in chapel, and which shall force upon lower classmates an idea of' the great loss about to be incurred with the graduation of' '92. Such has been the policy of all previous graduating classes. Sadly it must bc admitted, however, that few have wept as they departed, and few have ever since thought or even heard of these once illus- trious bodies. . The historian of '92 begs that he maybe hmrgiven for depart- ing from this glorious custom ol' history manufacture. He asks that a few scattered notes, taken at odd moments, be accepted instead. It.is not the purpose of' the historian to leave the idea that the present Senior class is any more ordinary than preceding ones, or ones to followg but the various notes were not all made at times when the class was posing for :L picture, and so unpleasant truth may occasionally crop out in what follows. To understand why there is so little history attaching to '92 as a class, one must be told that we consist of' odd specimens of human kind. We repre- sent all nationalities. Now, each member aims to be a learler in something. One 'would reform the world, or rather women's drcssesg another would be the professor in history class: a third aspires to be the abolisher ol' 13-atm-nities in this institution, a fourth would make himself' famous by 'skipping' recitations and thus lengthen his stay to eight years instead of seven. You see, to do justice to the class it would be necessary to write eighty individual histories instead of the general one. Should the historian write these ever so briefly, the Govlllia of' this year could never realize enough money to even bury itself. liver since its Freshman year our class has been looked upon as a 'chump' class. '93 called us that because we didn't give any class parties. Others dig- nify us by that title because we get the wires twisted during elections and thus fail to carry the proposed ticket. The class, when assembled in recitations, is neither prepossessing nor al- ways mannerly. At times it has been the custom of' certain young maseulincs to occupy two chairs and stretch out full length, in order to listen to Seminar papers and at the same time take a nap. This custom may be due to the tired feeling which takes possession of them because ofthe close air in the room and poor ventilation. Yet, strange to say, when certain philanthropists, fotherwise known as fresh-air cranksl in their kindness for suffering humanity, rise and open windows, these very individuals begin a vociferous sneezing and coughing until the poor professor, unable to hear his own lecture, closes the windows. The class of' '92 is divided on the fraternity question. In spite of the large percentage of fraternity people, it is a fact that not a few of our brightest lights are to be found among the Barbs, so called. The Historian dare not relate the part which fraternities have played in the story of the class of '92, but he will venture to tell what befell some of the rankest opposers of this question. One dark night they were kidnapped and carried oft' to a gloomy no
