tpe tde of a Bittie Ctase HE Colleg e Seniors are really a ven, ' brilliant class in this vear of 1907. In the fall of 1905 we began to realize that after all we were somebody and the school didn ' t know it. Up to this time there had never been a College Senior Middle Class, indeed we were even classed below the regular Senior Middlers. Being of a more ambitious nature than the classes that had gone before us, we decided to organize a class, and we did it, starting out with a splendid big number. But do you know, there is one thing about the college class that perhaps vou think is queer. Before the year is half over, about half of our members have dis- appeared. Do you think it queer. ' Just become one of us for a short time and you will think it the most natural thing in the world. ' ell, we elected our officers and chose our colors, pale green and white and the white rose for our flower. Our spread was a great success and we all had a splendid time. Now when this year began, the academic seniors could not have felt a bit more important than we did and as for their psvcholog}-, it is play compared to mathematics. Mathematics just naturally binds us together with an iron bond of s}-mpathy. How can we help being proud of ourselves when we march up the aisle on Commencement, and receive our diplomas, for we know that for two whole years our work has been higher than the average. Ad.

ree ong As we gather ' round, dear linden, Hear our prayer to thee, Learn the meaning of thy mission, What thy Ufe shall be. Of our class of nineteen seven. Be the symbol pure, Show that though we ' re gone, our love for Abbot will endure. When the winter winds do blast thee, And thy life seems cold. May the thought that we strive like thee Make thy courage bold. And when spring ' s refreshing power Gives thee life again, May we from thy good example Firmer faith attain. 29 May our motto be life ' s watchword, Not to seem, but be , Daily filling our own places With humility. Then each year will see us nearer To our aims in view. Till we see the work completed That God bade us do. Alice M. Webster, ' 07.
