Most nightworkers are too worn out, physically and mentally, for sociability or solidarity. On Saturday mornings, loaders and drivers drink and play cards with colleagues working for the same company, rarely mixing with others. The only times I observed any sign of sporadic cooperation was when something happened to disrupt the flow of everynight activity, such as the time a one-ton pallet of prunes fell onto the floor and all the workers in a team gathered around to pull it all together. The coworkers who witnessed the pallet falling and heard the loud bang that followed reacted spontaneously, gathering to pick the fallen fruits. In that moment of trivial disruption, the intent of solidarity floated; all men were working together towards the same goal, but each was invested in their individual tasks. In other words, they were doing something together but not with one another. And once all prunes were repacked, the workers took their separate places, apart from one another, looking at the clock and eager to go home.
Eliza has been a member of our class only for the past two years. We have found her true blue. Though small in stature and reticent of manner, her daily life of cheer and sunshine bespeak her innate charm.
Mary Ellen approaches the maximum student, her interests lying in every phase of college life, from athletics to French clubs and journalism. She goes about her work in a quiet, cheerful, unassuming manner, and her frank, sincere spirit make us love her. To those whom she likes she is a friend, real, true, and lasting. She is pleasant to walk with, pleasant to talk with, and if you want to forget your worries, just listen to Mary Ellen's dry humor and merry chuckle.
Our memories of Louise, could they be presented in moving pictures, would flash before us thus: Louise, in the 1920 annual, our prettiest girl; in the 1921 annual, our most stylish girl; on the way to breakfast neat and smiling; leading song service at vesper; on Friday morning playing the piano with such ease of manner and beauty of expression as to delight the music faculty; on the stage, playing a star role with charm and dramatic ability; at class meeting, standing for those things which bespeak artistic ability, common sense, and culture.
