Senior Class 1F3istor ' 03. ONE evening, four years ago, a heterogeneous mass of forlorn-looking boys arrived in Williamsburg. These youthful scions, the nation ' s future hope, came from everj ' walk of life ; some bore evidence of having led a .•-trenuous life, but many of them were creatures of indulgence.

At the beginning of our second year, we returned, but not as Dues : — they never return — for we had become Sophomores. But alas ! how 21
