Secretary and Treasurer A Second Rip van Winkle One beautiful spring morning President Mclntire went strolling on the hills. He sat down in the shade of a tree and tried to think of something that would put life into the Freshman class, He drank some water from a nearby stream and then lay down and fell asleep He knew not how long he slept, but on awakening he saw that the sun was rising. In order to get to devotional on time he decided to hurry. but he found his limbs stiff from the unexpected sleep on nature's bed and it took some time to reach Lester Park. As he was still half asleep he had not noticed the surroundings but when looking toward the Academy he saw the whole block was filled with massive structures. He saw the words "Weber Academy" over the door and decided to enter. He did so and stared around in amazement. Nothing was familiar. There was a large number of strange students standing near a desk where was seated an old, gray- haired lady. He heard somebody address her as Mrs. Kunz, and then plead not guilty to the charge of being on the "exclusion list." She asked Myron what he wanted, and in bewilderment he said, "Where is everybody that was here yesterday?" "This is the same bunch in the office. Whom, for instance, do you want to see," replied Mrs. Kunz. "Anyone, some Freshmen-where is Theodore Herbert?" "I know," said a student: "he runs a popcorn stand on Twenty- fifth street." Myron looked at him in disgust, then quickly said, "Where's Vera Jones Pearl Porter, Cora Kasius, Norma Nichols, Lucy White and Nettie Watson?" From different students he learned that Vera Jones was singing in a picture slow and that Lucy White was her accompanist. Cora Kasius was giving lectures against the adoption of the Initiative and Referendum. They told him that Pearl Porter was teaching Domestic Science at Weber. 'Net Watson," said Mrs. Kunz, "is girls' instructor at Weber Gym and Norma Nichols is chief cook and bottle washer at Chop Suey House run by William Millar. Myron not knowing what to think, then asked, "What about David Goddard, the Wright twins, Hubert Hall, Violet Anderson, Goldy Engstrom, James White. Harold Browning, Lester Stevens and Milton Marble?" He learned that David Goddard was taking part of Foxy Izzy in the Orpheum. The last heard of the Wright twins they were playing the parts of Mutt and Jeff; Hubert Hall had returned to Mexico and was leading the insurrectoes against the government. Violet Anderson and Goldy Engstrom. were taking the part of the twins in a play. Harold was sweeping the street and James White was driving He inquired after a number of others. but could learn nothing definite Then turning to the crowd, who thought him crazy, he said does anyone here know Myron McIntire of the Freshman Mrs. Kunz looked at him and then exclaimed, "Why, you were president of that class twenty years ago. All was clear to him now it was 1932. He went to the depot and took the bumpers to Idaho. With '15 in the center. And glad we'll be that next year As Sophomores we'll enter -A FRESHMAN. |
