...world and probably of that world's representatives: the sisters and other fellows' sisters who make Class Day "or better Lass Day," what it is. Not yet does he have that sensation of the world slipping from under him that comes on Commencement. But the Lampoon would not suggest sad thoughts so appropriately. The Hero is firmly seated. The color on the cever and as a background of many of the pictures is blue, probably as a contrast to the predominant Class Day red, and to the general hilarity of the reading matter.

Once again Lampy has gone back to the bull rushes! His weary Ibis is a sad, sad sight, sunken deep in the mire, weary from lost battles on the ice, the track, and the diamond.

To be sure, the true athlete will keep his eye on the ball rather than on the bleachers, and his thoughts on the game rather than on the outside gamesters; taking his cue from the captain instead of the crowd; but even the steadiest players...
