O eg THE BLUE AND WHITE Q4- 0 P 5. . unior Class History It was at one of those small country fairs that I, overcome by heat, sought the shade of a wizard's tent. VVhen I was ushered in all was in complete darkness. Then the wizard struck suddenly upon a small gong. A little blue flame sprang up from the brazier at the far end of the tent. The wizard stretched out his wand and it forthwith leaped up into golden glory. Into this globe the wizard commanded me to look. First, all was blank and then gradually pictures were formed. You are now looking into the past, the wizard informed me. Everything was clear before my eyes. There, myself among them, is a group of Freshmen who, altho' green, possess a most amazing faculty of getting all the joy possible out of life, pressed down and running over. lrVe are running, altho' supposed to be hiking to Chapel Rocks. jumping in the hay we nearly lose one of our members, but all ends most happily. The monotony of winter is broken by a sleigh ride and who cares if we do have to walk half wayg it only adds t0 the fun. Spring is the most eventful season. First, we conduct a Clean-Up-VVeek. Not content to merely boost it by words, we don overalls and very effectively proceed to oust King Dirt. Thus, being aroused by the zeal of community service, we are soon put to the test again. News comes that a fierce forest fire is raging on South Mountain, so a goodly number of us don our armor and set out to vanquish the fire. That day is fraught with unusual experiences for us. A truck ride in the glorious spring comes next. A line picnic lunch, after which we romp as colts in the meadow, a ride home with the great stars of night as our only canopy and our joys are complete. The last, as the first, event of this eventful year is a hike. Starting on a wondrous spring morning at six o'clock, we drink to the full of Nature's early offerings. All was again darkness before my eyes, Then the mage stretched forth his wand a second time. It is at Sophomorehood at which I am now gazing. Many are the illegitimate good times we had sliding down the street in front of church while changing classes, romping on the lawn, playing tennis and in other ways letting out our exuberant feelings to the utmost. It seems that the love of the great out-of-doors is born in us for again we launch the year with a most enjoyable hike combined with a corn roast. Now we try our first real party. With dif- ficulty we secure a barn and succeed in cleaning it of the accumulated dirt of years. At this a Halloween party, food and fun, bewitching costumes and a moon are the most outstanding features. At Christmas we show our versatility in a clever sketch gotten up at a mon1ent's notice. The crowning event of this year is a straw ride and chicken dinner held at Black Horse by the Literary Society. This society had been holding bi-weekly meetings thru out the year lfor the promotion of the growth of our intellectual beings. Darkness once more covers the face of the globe. Haste, wise man, cried I, I would see the finish. So again the magic rod was stretched forth and again a panorama took shape before my eyes. Once more the scene shifts. We are juniors in a new modern building with all the facilities at our command. With a fine new gymnasium, athletics naturally claim our attention. We enter' them with zest and zeal and are proud of our laurels won by much effort in track and boys' basket ball. Debate also claims the attention of some of us. It proves helpful in the conduct of our class business, for much discussion, debate and even coercion are necessary in the choice of our class ring. Finally, one with an original seal is chosen. When it comes to colors a decided pugilistic attitude is manifested in the stiff fight put up for black and blue, however the miserly instinct in us triumphs and the black is changed to gold. In the selection of a flower we showed our amorous instinct in the over-whelming vote cast for mistletoe. However, pressure is brought to bearg so the sweet pea is selected. Again this year our love of hiking outcrops, so we betake ourselves to the historic old cloisters at Ephrata and there spend a most profitable day. A Ladies' Home journal subscription contest shows the marked ability.at salesmanship of some of us and adds materially to our treasure. It also affords for the winning side a party and ,royal spread at the expense of the losers. Another party held at Christmas radiates the mirth and good humor of the season. Spring suddenly bursts upon us and many other good times are had. ' , The globe again clouds and I stop a moment in retrospection. . Sara Smillz.
