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

professor Bucbbols ' s Iparrot A SHORT time ago one of the college students happened to meet an old South Florida friend who told him the following story on Professor Buehholz : When Professor Buehholz first came to this couutry and settled in Florida, he at once conceived a great desire to become the possessor of a parrot, and after trying in vain to procure one be decided tc- visit a neighboring village where he had heard there was one for sale and purchase the bird. Accordingly one morning he set out and before twenty-four hours had elapsed he returned home the proud possessor of a fine green parrot, which, as his proud mister said, could talk like a streak. For several weeks after Professor Buehholz obtained possession of his parrot things went well, till one day the parrot developed an astonishing propensity for swearing at any stranger who chanced tc- visit the house. Of course this gave the Professor no end of worry, and he used all the means in his power to break the bird of this pernicious habit. But all the cures were tried in vain, for every time a stranger came tc- the residence the bird would start in and denounce him in the most profane and vituperative language ; often causing the would-be visitor to leave the house much offended and hurt. Things went on in this way for about two months and the Professor had almost despaired of ever curing his pet, when some one suggested that the next time a stranger came to the house and the parrot began his tirade that the Professor should pour a bucket of water over it and see if this would not effect a cure. This the Professor determined to do the first time an opportunity presented itself. As it happened he did not have to wait long, for the next day he saw a stranger come into the yard and approach the door. 28
