34 F. it M. C O L L li G F Senior Class History JAS. B. MYSSIGR. HE writing of the history of the Senior Class gives rise to the conflicting emotions of pleasure and sadness. It is L a pleasure, yea, a privilege, to enlighten thc reader con- cerning the record of this illustrious class during the past four years. And though the record very properly fills us with pride, yet our pleasure is accompanied with a feeling of sadness at the thought of the fast approach of the end of our course. The time of farewell is upon us, alas, too soon, and we dislike to write of the end of things. From this point of view, it becolnes al- most a painful duty to chronicle the deeds of the class. With an effort, we remove this tinge of sadness from our thoughts, convince ourselves that the end has not yet come, consider that graduation is but another chapter in our onward career, and trust that in the future, both as indi- viduals and as an organized body, we shall continue our efforts, accom- plishing mightier, nobler and more praiseworthy deeds than were ever contemplated in the past. Progress has marked our career at every step, there has been a constant progress of evolution. To a greater degree, pe1'haps, than we were at any single moment conscious, the spirit of our motto has con- t1'ibuted to this process. It has been the animating principle in all our efforts. Being minded like men who will not yield, we have grappled with the problems of college life, shunned discouragcment and sur- mounted the obstacles that beset us. Maturcd by our mental and phys- ical aetivities, ripcned through experience, we ascend to the plane of senior dignity and look over the path we have trod with a satis- faction that is legitimate with honest, conscientious and successful effort. l -

ORIF L ANIME 35 Bold and discreet, overflowing with life and energy, and yet with it all, determined and sincere, we plunged into every sphere of activity, enjoyed ou1'selves to the full and secured all the good possible out of the opportunities and associations afforded by the college community. Many of the experiences since we entered the institution have been delightful, some few, otherwise. Our interests ' are manifold and varied, our responsibilities are great, the pleasures we have are not few. The banquets which we held were occasions of good cheer and fel- lowship, and some of the more Nthrillingl' incidents will never be for- gotten by those fortunate in being present. The record of the class in athletics, while not sensational and spectacular, was, nevertheless, faithful, earnest and reliable, just the elements that were needed to tidg F. and M. over the critical and disheartening conditions of the past few years. The publications of the class a1'e a credit to it: the Calendar was unique in design and well executed, the ANNUAL, issued by the class last year, is universally acknowledged to be the best ever pro- duced in the history of the college. The energy and talent which the class brought to the musical and dramatic organizations has given them an impetus that will be felt many a year after we have severed active connection with them. In the literary activities within the college, as well as with other institutions, the several members of the class have manifested more than ordinary interest. Rivalry has been keen and friendly, spirited contests were held and, we believe, much that is of permanent Value has been accomplished. A number of changes have come with the past year. New features have been introduced into the college life. The farewell concert given by the class to last year's Senior Class was a most excellent method of exchanging courtesies among upper classmen. The expressions of ap- proval were so pronounced and general, that we hope it may become a regular feature of Commencement week. i Our class assumed charge of the Senior fence, and all may rest as-
