Junior 1bistor IN 1896 this class first made its entrance into the Florida State College with a roll of about thirty members, and the present year finds us still toiling on to the goal of our desires — graduation in 1903. For five long years we have formed our phalanx and bucked the formidable array of examinations and quizzes each year, and every time have come off victorious, though we have lost many of our classmates in these encounters. Still we have no reason to be ashamed; we have the largest Junior class that the college has had for years, and if we survive the coming examinations with no diminution in numbers, we will bore the public with the greatest number of graduating speeches that they have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Only one more year of work and study and we will leave the sheltering wing of our Alma Mater and go out into the world to fight the battle of life. One more year, then graduation. This is the sentence that is continually quoted to us to inspire the class to more diligent work, and each time the professor quotes this the class murmurs in accents low, Graduation, thou art so near and yet so far. G. L. WINTHROP, Historian. Oh, what a racket ' s raised, When in moments of delight A lover ' s holding tight To a waist that ' s dressed in white, To see when ' tis too late The brother ' s grinning face From the curtain ' s folding grace Peeping out. Oh, what sweet, delicious gladness Did my soul with happiness fill When her kisses first she gave me. Then no more of pleasure craved we Than in silence to be sitting. M. M. 27
