The class day programme opened with
song "Bingo," by the class, and this
was followed by a history by c. B.
Thompson of Covipgton, KY. The open
ing of Mr.. rhompsons history and his
first grind is as follows:
"The feeling cannot but be one of sat
isfaction when it is learned who has
been selected for the opening of these
solemnities. On summer day nothing
could be more appropriate than to be-
gin with some cool spirit whose effect
shall be as refreshing as a blast from
the north Therefore, with 1926 men to
select from, the choice has fallen upon
that ambitious Eskimo, George Musalas
Colvocoresses. Colvo Is the hardest
spirit in 1900 He reves in hardship.
His chief delight is to diet himself on
twigs and moss. and to hibernate at
night in snowbanks, until the chapel
bell does rouse him. Last winter was
too warm and Col stalked about town in
a cond ton so decolete that sundry pro-
tests were received by the faculty from
the police. To sum. it up, George en-
bodies the spirit Of the North Pole. In
answer to the statistics question, your
favorite delicacy?" he gave the prompt
reply, whale blubber' His intellect is
like piece of Iceland spar, double re-
fracting His able honor the:is was
styled THE Annexation of Alaska, and
It's Precedent for Greenland" No one
knows just how many countries claim
ColVo as their own. He was first sight
ed by civilized man, floating off the
coast of Labrador on an iceberg, cloth
ed in a negl'gee shirt and sitting dos

"Interger Viate" was then sung very
heartily, and the history by T.. D. Hill
of Yonkers, N. Y, followed
After the band played Brave Moth

the histories continued.
Maurice p Gould of Waumega, Kan

his subjects were New Haven boys, H.
S. Arnold and George and William Bar
tholcmew. Mr.. Gould said of them:
Harold Sears Arnold New Haven,
Conn.-Put up Harry Arnold carefully.
His wounds are still sore from the little
affair on Dwight street last week. Other
historians may put up fellows and make
you believe that they are favorites with
the ladies; but there is Ladd -esQuaen
Svengali who is simply irresistible Nor
Is he one Of those Soda Water" killers
He does not resort to artificial means.
They Just fall in love with him and he
can't held it. 1t isn't his fault If they
go to a nunnery," or Jump off the
breakwater," Harry has only been
checkmated once and that was by bow
legged bull pup that was upon Dwight
street Harry and a friend were calling
on two young ladies who own a very
intelligent bull dog, trained in all the
