APT 9. J.-U ,r ' . 'ff ..+aa2.s2rv uf W . ' CLASS PGEM LLOYD B. Ci,-KLE. Class Poet. Go forward, O ye Seniors! Beneath your banner true, With ambition as your leader Shall all your foes subdue. Trust only Good and Virtue When in your hour of need, And Fortune will reward you . If valiant is your deed. Go forward, O ye Seniors And do not dream of rest! 'Till you have done your duty, And Fame you have possessed. Be honest, true and loyal, And do not, O I pray, From the road thatis straight and Once ever go astray. Go forward, O ye Seniors, Stop not for friend or foe! But work and strive and labor That something you may show. And lastly, O ye Seniors . When you are worn and weary, Recall your dear class motto Esse quam videri. Il2i.I'I'0W-

May this tree, nature's sym- bol of beauty, strength and grace, stand through future generations as a memorial to that life endowed with all the power, strength and noble ambitions of youth. One ma' ask of what sivnificance is the 3 s planting ol' a tree? ls it merely a cold formality and without any real meaning? The act itself, to be sure, will soon be forgotten, but the WILFHED B- REAMER nicinories .conneoted with 1t will never pass pings Qmtol,-I into oblivion. liorty years from now, perhaps, some one oflus will have occasion to pass this well known site, where four vears 'es then we shall sax' the four best rears . 3 . . 5 . of our lives were passed. And what recollections will spring up before us? Members of the Class of 1912 will pass before our mental Vision in quick succession. We will try to locate each and every one somewhere in the tangle and confusion of this busy'world. Some we may be able to account for and others we may not.

I have been visiting Isabel Prentice, who has just completed her new book on The Elevation and Developement of the Ilunian Mind. She is always so busy, almost too energetic for a maiden lady ot my un- certain years. You must have enjoyed your trip to Wash- - ington very much, especially your visit to the Senate. I do hope they pass that bill for the erection of the Art Museum. You asked in your letter it I knew what become ot' the various melnbers ot the Class ot 1912. I cithcr saw or heard of several of them while visiting in Batavia. One evening we went to hear the Rev. Lloyd B. Gale deliver a-masterful seimon on The Frivolities of Women? On the way out we nearly ran into a man who exclaimed, Bah Jove, I beg pardonft Imagine 1ny surprise in looking up to behold Ivan Dexter star- ing at us through his monocle. QYou know he has lately returned from Oxford, Englandj. Right back ot him was Lloyd Grinnel. I was simply amazed to see how meek and careworn he looked until I saw the severe looking woman who loomed forbiddingly in the background. One day I picked up an etlvition ol' the Times which is successfuily edited by Willis Broadbooks. One whole page was devoted to an advertise- ment which read, 'Tfonie early and receive a cup of our delicious 300 coffee, served by our demonstrator, Miss Florence MeElver, 'Nut Sed,' J. Burt Jones, Jr? Another advertisement read 'tMoving pictures at Dreamland, afternoon and evening, music furnished by Professor Herman Ehfvingf' On another page was a long paragraph describing the marriage o't.Thomas Uooper to a Cleveland girl, QI forget her nanieb. It seems so queer for you know 'llommy always said heid never marry. The column entitled the 'fSocial Whirl, announced that the Misses Dorothy Sherwin and Helen Parker would shortly return from abroad on the steamer Lawrence, their 'talready sweet voices having been travined to the cquisite perfection of the nightingale or larkf' There is always so much going on there for Batavia is doing itv still --that we always had a hard tvinie to decide to which place wetd go. I re- member one evening in particular when we eouldntt decide whether to go to thc dancing school conducted by Messrs. Clarence Green and Cack,' 'Rapp or to the performance given by Senors Billum Starch and Seaweed, World famous comedians. We 'finally decided in favor of the latter and were very glad 'For there we met Ward IrIaiumer. who with a beaniiug 4- -. ,,,
