Excerpt from The Year Book, 1925

A dingy, little Ford wheezed along an old country road. It could be called a Ford only by courtesy. Its top was in rags; its upholstery was in the same condition, while the engine had reached that stage where it didn't care whether it lived or died However, crouched tensely over the wheel was a young girl of col Iege age, dressed in the height of fashion. Unheeding the bumps, unheeding the groanings of the tortured engine, this young lady kept steadily on down the road.

While this race was on, to the south of her a steam roller was approaching, positively burning up the distance. This sight (except for the speed) was not strange, as the road needed leveling badly enough, but the young driver was most certainly not doing this as an occupation. He was well dressed, and was un doubtedly a university student. He seemed under a strain, and the perspiration and dust soon made him look more like a colored gentleman than the white man he was intended to be.
