That is why the class of 1915 embarked upon the sea of knowledge, or, rather, into the airy heights of learning in an airship. Other classes have been known to start the journey in a ship or train, or even by foot, but none within the scope of my recollection has begun, yes, and finished, the trip by Zeppelin. This fact alone ought to show the superiority and modern trend of thought of the class of 1915. Our first journey was very successful, for, of course, we came down to earth again at the end of nine months. There were a few,, however, for whom such heights and such soarings were really too much. These did not ascend again when the crew was embarking on its second jour­ ney. There were also some who found that it would be best to leave the Zeppelin before it had finished its maiden voyage, so each took his life into his hands and jumped for the receding land. Many of these we have not seen since, but we hope that they landed safely. After three months of vacation those who loved to learn, and those whose parents loved to have them learn, embarked again. This time we flew up to that corner of the sky which is known as the Realm of Sopho­ mores. We wanted to hitch our airship to a star, you see. When one is flying about in this part of the heavens, he feels that his estimation of the distance of his Freshman flight was really ridiculous. Why, as Sopho­ mores, we could, and did, look down upon the Freshmen with utmost scorn in our glances. The next year we flew to Junior heights, and anyone who has been a Junior will tell you what rosy clouds were around us, and how airily we tripped the light fantastic at the Junior-Senior and at the other Junior dances. We were also learning to become great orators. With Cicero and Miss O'Grady for examples, who could not discourse in stir­ ring tones upon almost any subject? Juniors are such important people. But it was as Seniors, stately, dignified Seniors, that our budding talent and scintillating wit were most patent. This time we flew above the rose and golden clouds of Juniordom into the nebulous hazes of the Freshmen, we flew about the aerial paths of learning, soaring upwards kingdom of Seniors. Far above the haunts of Juniors, Sophomores and and ever up. And now our wonderful voyage is nearing its end. There have been times when the lilting motion of our Zeppelin has been irksome, and there have been sandbags in the shape of report cards, which have pulled us earthwards. But we have always managed to pass through the dark and dreary side of the clouds, and come out on the wonderful, shining, silver side. And no matter how black and hopeless our clouds have looked, the lovely silver lining has always been discovered. This has given us the courage with which to pass through the thicker clouds which we may meet when we have left our well-beloved Zeppelin "East" and have flown off in the Zeppelin "Higher Education" or "Work."

  • 407 Charles Dickens
    Charles Dickens Charles John Huffman Dickens (1812-1870) was born in Landport, Portsea in 1812. The second of eight children, he grew up in a family frequently beset by financial insecurity. His father was a poor and easy-going naval clerk who was condemned to Marshalsea Prison for unpaid debts during 1824. His family had to live in prison with him. Before Charles was 12 years old, his mother arranged for him to start work in a London blacking warehouse where his job was to stick labels on bottles for six shillings a week. It was his parents’ neglect of him, rather than the work itself, which imprinted itself on his young mind. Charles received little formal education till an unexpected legacy allowed his family to pay off their debts and he could resume his education. He travelled, worked a good deal and studied in the British Museum. When he was fifteen he worked as a law clerk and a freelance reporter in the courts and in Parliament, which offered him the first-hand material for an accomplished novelist. He contributed sketches of London life to various newspapers and periodicals, and these were collected and published as Sketches by Boz, which attracted the English reading world and brought him overnight fame. Originally his novels appeared in serial form, according to popular fashion and demand. They were published at monthly intervals and then collected into a single hardbound volume. This method of publication explains the tedium and length of certain passages, which give the impression of having been written expressively to fill space at any cost.
