HISTORY. V pTfe HIS class was organized at the opening session of 1893, with an enrollment of forty-four u ' cjhfi bright boys and girls, each with the high determination of gra duating with the first hon- 6 org f their class. Happy to say, as these six years of diligent study and close appplica- tion have rolled by, we have continued to grow intellectually; but numerically we have sadly de- creased, having at present an enrollment of only five — three big ugly boys and two lovely young ladies who are not afraid of syllogisms and higher mathematics. Notwithstanding the fact we are the smallest class in college, (only one excepted) if our readers will forbear a few phrases of the Ciceronian style, we will assume the authority of saying that we are the best all-round class in college, standing second to none, unless it be the Normal class, and this class cannot properly be regarded as a regular class of the Seminary. For the truth of the above statement we will not impose upon you the embarassing task of con- sulting the Professors of the institution, as a class of one of our neighboring institutions did, but will refer you to a more accessible witness — the president of the class. We take pride in stating that our class has shared very flatteringly in the public honors of the college and bids fair to turn out two statesmen, a physician and a stenographer, of which any State might well be proud. F. A. Hathaway, Historian. 25

THANKSGIVING. Thanksgiving among the red clay hills of old Leon was spent quietly and, with a few exceptions, without a fatality. Among the most notable events was the hunt of Prof. P . In the ' ' wee wee hours of the morning, before old Sol had reared his head suffi- ciently to light with his smiling rays the classic shades of old Tallahassee, the silent, peaceful slumbers of the boarders at The Columns was dis- turbed by a rummaging noise in the apartments of the Seminary ' s English Professor. Just at the crack of day, when all nature seemed serene, the Professor made his start down Adams Street in the direction of Lake Jackson. According to Professor B , who says he saw the start, Professor P wore his best silk hat, patent leathers, preacher ' s and politician ' s coat, high standing collar, and silk tie, etc. On his shoulders he had pinned a silk handkerchief to keep the gun from soiling his new coat. Nothing was seen of him during the day, but as the sun was fading away over the w y estern hills he bore proudly down the boulevard with a duck swung over his shoulders. Never conqueror bore more precious prize than the duck Professor P brought back from his hunt. At the gate he was given three cheers, and at the supper table he was given much praise as he told his anxious and earnest listeners how he had accomplished the wonderful feat of killing a duck on the wing, half way across Lake Jackson. Never man was prouder than he at this moment. Even Miss smiled at his handsome mustache, and Mrs. promised him a fruit cake, while Professor Calhoun offered to buy him a Spanish book, that he might learn the only piece of knowledge in the world left for him to know. 26
