The senior class of 1914 is noted for its enthusiasm. Because of this “Pood Doonan, our genial president, wears a smile that won’t come off and “Jock” Mungavin, our Professor of Sociology, always finds his classes awake and do:ng. The girls appreciate courtesies so those in sociology presented Mr. (Jude with a handsome bouquet because of his chivalry, but the girls in chemistry would talk too much so the hoys planned a banquet to he held in honor of the fair babblers. Many sympathizing friends aided them in their trouble. The Y. V. girls gave pickles, the 1 . B. hoys donated apples, quantities of cocoanut cookies made their appearance, and sonic cider, sweet three months before, was found in the attic. Bill Donalds made tartaric lemonade. When the girls ciphoncd the caustic potash, some burned their lips, some their throats, but all burned their tongues. The following day Mr. Whealdon wondered what ailed his class. The boys’ keen minds were dulled from overeating and the girls—well, they couldn’t talk. — In order to pay the expenses of the Little Tycoon the class planned a candy sale for which the Dormitory girls made fancy candv. The chemistry class contributed some pepsin fudge. This was all locked up for safe keeping in the rest room under the Normal stairs. Suddenly things began to look strange. The sky was lurid, flames burst through the normal windows, the chemistry room was a seething furnace. Soon the students were all outside but where was the candy? A mad rush was made for the rest room but three seniors like “Horatio at the Bridge” kept the crowd at bay. “Peggy with her Pea Shooter and Distinguished' rcjidled the crowd and ’’distinguished” the flames, while Harriet, our ardent suffraggtte. guarded the door and “Kate the Flunky” hid the candy. Gladys R.. ai! in a flurry, climbed through the window and saved some candy for Tom. Not even “Peggy's Fire Distinguished’ could stop the flames, however. The heat became oppressive, the walls tottered and fell. All but the tall chimney which stood alone, erect, undaunted: defying the elements. Will it fall? Look! It is swaying farther—farther.—down it goes! The crash awoke a senior girl who rubbed her eyes and stared. It was all a dream from eating that pepsin fudge. But alas! How “coming events cast their shadows ! cforc!” We have learned again that “the best laid plans o’ mice and men gang aft agly,” for soon the dream of the senior girl became an awful reality. While the seniors stood in awed silence and watched the crumbling walls, we each made a firm resolve to stand by the president, the faculty and our dear old Alma Mater or die in our tracks in the slush and red clay. 4 » 14
