SENIOR CLASS 0(= 1901. c p ' UCH a class! Indeed it is to be congratulated in its brilliant career. Such a record ! Shall I say it was attained by a fortunate accident, or by faithful application of the means to the end in view? As much pleasure as possible, with as little work as possible, for Too much work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 1 ' As Preps, there were forty-eight of us. Not very much was accomplished, because there were too many to carry out our plans successfully. ' ' Too many hands in a pot always spoils a dish. How- ever, certain ones generally managed to borrow a key to Dubb ' s arithmetical problems, from the Prof. ' s desk, (when lie was not looking).

As only two were allowed to go at one time, we had to ride and tie; but we found it much easier to go r iding over the level ground on a pony than to blindly feel our way along rough passages. Staying- after school, however, for Latin-prose until five p. m every day for a week, when the State troops were encamped here was really torturing. But. if we must do a thing, we must; so resigning ourselves to our fate, we determined to make the best of it. And this we did (?). But all joys (?) must have an end; so ours of the third year class were ended when we became Freshmen. Then began the trials of the French class added to those of Lalin-prose. Two or three of 18
