Senior History. lip- MEN. - , HE history of a senior class is difficult to write, for several reasons: firstly, 'f Q , there is a great deal of the most interesting :Q-1' thirdly, because very few people read it, and L5 why those few read it, the task of satisfying E doubly onerous. because there generally isnit much in it worth reaplingg secondly, because part that shonldn't be told, , since it's hard to conjecture their curiosity and hopes is What shall he the burden of our lay?

Tragedy at one moment, comedy the next, melodrama following, with side-dishes of vaudeville have occurred as a continued performance, with no let-up for holidays. Ours has been the strenuous life. As a class we have taken our place in the annals of the college, and it won't soon forget ns. Between ourselves the regulations have been elastic, that is to say, they have been full of snap. It wonldnit be in order to mention the minor affairs which have separated and then united ns. There has always been and always will be a deep, underlying loyalty to the class,-a certain unflagging loyalty to the college. VVe don't advise other classes to follow our foot- steps at every point, but they might well copy our example in many respects. The motto which has hung on our wall, to which our eyes have constantly been turned, in which we have trusted and will trust, is Old Colby, Our Glory ! 18
