' 9 5 'Q' Happy is the people that has no history. HE Ariel is fully aware that it is expected either to praise or fling mud at the graduating class, and in any event to be funny. But in this connection how can it ? The class in hand has never done any- thing ridiculous. How then can it be ridiculed? But on the other hand, it has never done anything which was not ridiculous. How then can it be praised ? The .Ariel acknowledges candidly that it is up a stump. lt doesn't know what to say about '95, Even a joke requires some historical basis 5 but what event in the career of '95 can even so witty a periodical as the Q-Ariel find about which to be facetious ? To be sure the class came here in the fall of '91 3 but is there anything in that which could be worked over into a joke? lt is true that it has been here four years, but is there any lurking suggestion of humor in the number four P The class has indeed been pre-eminent in athletics whenever there were no competitorsg but is that so startling a fact as to open the mouth and bring tears to the eyes of a gazing world? A careful consultation of data has developed only the two class actions above mentioned, namely that of coming andthat of staying, and beyond this, nothing. A prophetic insight leads us to predict that the history of the class will conclude with another important achievement, namely, that of going. lf any reader of this volume can take those three things and make a side-splitting tale of them, let him do so in heaven's name, and split his fellow students to his heart's content. ' As for us, we beg to refer the expectant universe to the list of names published elsewhere, and are glad to assure them that none of the gentle- men or ladies there mentioned have ever, to our knowledge, done any- thing very bad or at all funny. But we do not wish this to be understood as at all in the line of a character or recommendation, for we grieve to state that, so far as we know, none of them has ever done anything of any other nature. 25
