,Q , UVIL 'io L'A 'te IN l . - THE Gllaan nf 1525 When we came as Freshmen to D'Y. C. that September morning so many years ago our sensations were more or less mixed, pride in our newly acquired collegiate state-of-being struggled with that crushing timidity that must needs descend upon neophytes. We even cast a regretful glance backward, mayhap, upon the faded dignity attending the last of our high school days. Sophomore September of course brought with it a certain reassurance. We were at least established, and we were no longer the babies of the household, yet, at best our positions were far from being lofty and we were beset on every hand by a host of new evils-Psychology, Trig. and all the rest. But who shall say that as Juniors we have not been more than compenf sated? Upperclassmen, and yet not far enough upon that road that is not royal to be overshadowed by the thought of impending partings. The powers of initiation were ours and ours was the Prom. It is a wonderful thing, a junior.

B usiness Manager It has been such a happy year. We want to be Seniors, to be sure, but we would not for worlds have missed being Juniors. GDM Zluninr lirnm Imagine if you will all the delights of eye and ear-nay, the beauties of every sensefimpression which you can summon into thought, the splendid coloring and the fragrance of the rose, the melodious chiming of the distant bell, the rhythmic movement of the pendulum, the nectar of Olympian deities and count with these the added charm of pleasing personality, and you will have the answer why our Prom was in every respect an entire success. For the Statler Hotel, on the evening of the eighteenth of February, presented a spectacle which might well charm the eye of every artist, and draw forth the responsive appreciation of every lover of music. The festivities began at nine o'clock, when the strains of the first dance echoed forth, and it was only at the hour of twelve that the allegro of the music was stilled while the dancers filed into the delicately shaded diningfroom. Here mirth held full sway in the Inedium of conversation, while the supper and gay favors received their full share of appreciation. Soon, however, the dance was once more resumed, and it was only when the clock reluctantly informed us that another Inorn was ushered in that all began to wend homeward, musing after the manner of Pope: Oh! but to dance all night. 69
