iutttor Gllass SftBtunj This is an unusual year ! Piexy hinted this to us last fall, the price of our board strengthened our convictions, and the blustering weather of December, January and Feb- ruary removed all shadows of doubt. It is a year of the unheard of, the improbable, The unexpected; it is a year of speculation and unrest ; it is a year when any shell game proposed by the powers that be, will get by. ' For in- stance, we calmly burn wood when the Fuel Administration refuses us coal ; we cheerfully accept an abreviated system of concentrated, pre-digested education which does no more harm nor good than any previous system ; we are deprived of our soft chapel seats, making sleep more difficult; and, unheard of in the annals of the institution, we submit with- out a murmur to ten hours of drill per week. These few things prove the unusuahty of the year. How different from the fall of 1915 when the class of 1919 entered M. A. C. as a record-breaking class with an enrollment of well over two hundred. The college was prospering, and on the upward road of progress and success. We had the greatest football team of years, a team that could play Harvard to a standstill. All other activi- ties, athletic and otherwise, were expanding and going on at full tilt. Compare all this with college as it has been this year, minus a varsity football team, and enrollment of one-half size, and far less activities. In the old days 1919 was The Class. In athletics, debating, shooting, etc., her teams excelled. With two exceptions she won every 1918-1919 interclass contest. She was the first class to produce teams that could defeat a certain well-known nearby Acad- emy in all sports. A thousand times since then she has well proven her worth. But now she has been reduced to nearly one-half her initial enrollment and daily the old guard grows small. This decrease and the unusual year have been brought about by a cause which we know well, and which is brought more closely to us as our college and class- mates go to take their part in the great struggle. It remains with us who stay, to uphold the spirit and ideals of M. A. C. and 1919, and when we go forth they will help and strengthen us for the need of the Nation.

Sran Hataon Alarn Stubby I ' ll speak in a monstrous little voice ■ Proctor, Vermont A X A House Proctor High School August 12, 1896; Chemistry; A X A; Manager Class Football (3). Stubby hails from the Green Mountain State, the home of big things. However, the boy ' s greatness lies not in the 5 ft. 4 in. he boasts of. but his ability to be there when 1919 needs him. It is no secret that he is a great admirer of the gentler sex — from a distance — but it would surprise most of us if he didn ' t pick a winner. Stubby can usually be found in the vicinity of the Chem Lab, but what attraction he finds there is enough to scare a man who hasn ' t got the stuff to get what he goes out for. hmmi Austin Hang Quince To be and not to seem South Hadley 9 North College South Hadley High School November 2, 1898; Animal Husbandry; A 2 I ; Class Basketball (2); Class Football (3). We have here a boy who received his elementary education at Mt. Holyoke. Quince came to us last year from Colgate University. He has quietly battled his way to an unquestion- able standing among his classmates, both with his bean and his muscle. So far as we are able to find out, he has selected dairying as his idea of a perfect life. Should he ever forsake the lowing kine, we fear he would before long grow lonesome and reseek the wilds of South Hadley. Itlliam AInljnnan Hakrr A pipe, sc Oh! who Bill ne makin wuld sav atch. Melr a life. Melrose High School 598; Entomology; A X i nt Manager Baseball (2) X A House CI Basketball Commit- August 14, (1, 2); Assistant Manager Baseball (2); Smoke tee (3). The youthful ruff-neck comes to our circle from Melrose, in which place he played as a child. He is far from being quiet, for where there is something doing you are always sure to find Bill. Baker seems to have been able to bluff his way by the Profs with one exception, for he still lakes his place with a younger generation and carefully dissects the little animals under Doc Gordon ' s watchful eye. Bill is major- ing in Ent. with the hopes that in after days he may be able to work at a Government Job. 28
