DEAR LU: Although it is a long time since I have seen you, it seems to me that just at this time you must be thinking of something that happened thirty years ago, when we tucked our sheepskins under our arms and started out into the 'Kwide worldf, l wonder if you know that next year my daughter, Lucy, will receive the same degree from the same college. It scarcely seems possible that she has hnished her third year in college and yet it is so. She entered in the fall of 1909, with the class of 1913. You remember how superstitious we were about that fate- ful number, 13. l1Vell, this class took it as a good omen, and with 1913 as their numerals, and the red poppy as their flower, expected to march straight to victory. There was no time for homesickness. They were prac- tising yells, making gypsy costumes and chasing Sopho- mores most of the time. But their hrst downfall came in the games. Girls are quite athletic now, you know, Lu. They play some such game as hockey, if you know what that is, and basket-ball. Times have changed since we were there. You remember the sedate little walks we used to take for exercise. Well, anyway, they lost these games. You might think they would have been discouraged, but not a bit of it. They took it as a matter of fact, and went right on planning new achievements. About Thanksgiving, l believe, they began to pack their trunks for Christmas vacation. Girls have not changed much that way since we were there. All we heard during Lucy's stay at home was Wilson, Wilson, Wilsonf' and chiefest in Wilson was 1913. C 29 After the holidays came a period of sad retribution- exams. Then they commenced to talk of the .lunior-Fresh- man banquet. lt seems that the Freshmen always give the Juniors a banquet. Well, many were the weary hours spent in making red poppies and painting place-cards, but it was all a great success, of course. Lucy's letters were full of the charms of some Dorothy Cl believe that is the nameb. She is an upper-class girl, l believe, and she must be very attractive. Easter vacation was very short, and Lucy was anxious to get back tolsee Wilson in the Springtime. You remem- ber how we used to love it. It has a charm that never dies. But l was amused when the letters began to come, telling of the garlic in the butter. It is the same old story. We did not hear so much of K'Dorothy. Her charms must have begun to llag. Commencement was just too grand for anything. lt was the fortieth anniversary, you remember, and now she was really a Sophomore. So far as athletics go, their second year was a repetition of their hrst. Although they dressed as athletic girls in the games, it was of no avail. They lost. There was no discouraging them, though. They seemed to learn persist- ence and good nature. They found great solace in South, I believe that is a dormitory for the seniors, new since our da . Xfhis was their year to give a play. You remember how we struggled over those old things. Well, they did the same, but Trelawney of the Wells was a great success. ln fact, they seemed able to cope with anything but athletics. That year the banquet was given to them, and they were D
