Junior Class. Farmer Hayseed Soliloquizes After Reading Its History. ELL, well ! If this ain ' t the fourth time I ' ve read in this here LTni- versity book about the best class in school, an ' I ' ll be jinked if it ain ' t been a different class ev ' ry time. ' Pears like all the classes is the best, or thinks they is, an ' I low that if I was running things, I ' d settle that question right off by steing what class answered up the smartest when the school- board dropped in, or haxin ' a spellin ' -bee about once in so often. But this class is out of the common run of ' em, an ' I see a right smart of nice things about it. Now look at this : The receptions of the Class of ' oo have al ' ifays been the talk of the University. That ' s a all-right class, I tell you. I believe that when ye give a party, hev it tip-top, or not at all; an ' that seems to be the way the Juniors look at that question. Now here ' s another, and it ' s a pity they ain ' t as good as this in all the classes. Class-zneetinos hair ahcays been largely attended by the Juniors. I ' ll hav ' to show that to our preacher ; why it ' s like pullin ' hen ' s teeth for him to get the folks out to prayer-meetin ' , an ' here these Juniors attend even class-meetin ' largely. ' Cording to that, they must attend jjrayer-meetin ' more largelier, an ' you can bet when my b() - goes off to school, he goes straight into the Junior class, an ' stays right there. Well of all fool notions, if this ain ' t the biggest : The class cap is waroon, with long visor and orange figures. Class cap ; the idee of the whole class only havin ' one cap. It appears to me to be mighty oncon- venient, to say nothin ' of bein ' so dangersome ; but ev ' rybody to their likin ' , as the old woman said when she kissed the cow. I see here that they elected that man Schreiner to give the Final Party. Now I don ' t exactly bank on a man givin ' a party, such things liein ' generally left to the female women folks ; but if it ' s got to be a man, it seems to me this Junior fellow ' s the one to do it, an ' I calculate that I ' ll get my wife to make some doughnuts, as this book says they ' ll need the dough to give the party, an ' I ' ll send him down some to sorter help out in the victuals line. But what this book says last about the class of two naughts, as they call it, is the best, an ' it ' s knocked out all my objections to sendin ' girls off to school with boys. ' Why I can ' t object when I read what fine young ladies these Junior girls uiake, how well they get along, an ' how they make the boys get down to work to keep up with ' em ; an ' I ' m certain that even lea in ' out the boys and jus ' countin ' the girls, the Junior class can ' t be beat after all.
