The animals of this age had such enormous heads that were it not for the fact that they are perfectly empty they would be incapable of locomotion. After passing through an age of cataclysms, chaos and gen- eral crash, the class of ' 95 came out Juniors. These have much smaller heads, and an instinct to keep them shut, thus hiding the cavity which generally occupies the interior. With another leap, as remark- able as that made by the human animal when he changed from the anthropoid ape to man, we became vSeniors, with all the necessary qualities of that class of animals except conceit, which quality seems to be entirely lacking in the whole class. We now number thirty men, all of whom will no doubt graduate, owing to the fact that the faculty have put doors to all the halls in order to fasten us up after 8 o ' clock. They did this for our own good, for there has been let loose a certain wild Texas desperado in this vicinity, who has taken a vow to extract one lock of hair from the head of every student in college. It is thought Here the historian was interrupted by the death of Clio, who had come to his aid. The poor muse had bitten off more than she could chaw, and when she began to relate the deeds of this terrible man, her frail form failed for fear, and with a gasp she died. It is only just to say that at one time this desperado was a member of the class of ' 95. Since Inspiration is dead the history must stop. Thus endeth the first and last history of the class of ' 95- Historian. 26
