A METAMORPHOSIS, The Freshie cometh forth to school in a suit of rusty jeans, And his slouch hat at an angle on his dusty forehead leans; His unblacked shoes with leather strings are tied — as hard as rocks And his ankles gleam resplendent o ' er the rims of woolen socks. II The Senior goeth forth from school as the fortunate elect, In a suit of shining broadcloth, and a lofty beaver decked; His patent leather shoes shine bright — his necktie white as milk, And you can ' t see his ankles, for they ' re out of sight in silk.

CLASS HISTORY. COLORS— ORANGE. Motto: The End of Our First Lesson. Class Yell: To whit, to whit, to whoo. Eighteen hundred and ninety-two. vVUR College is proud of her alumnal roll. With the addition of ' 92 to J the ranks of those who call her our ■Alma Mater there will be abundant ground for increased feeling of pride. Though this write- up in the Ravelings will be appreciated, it is by no means a necessary ad- vertisement of our merits. It is not for us to write our own history when others have done it so graphically and truthfully. So I make the following clipping from a well known metropolitan magazine. Our publication has always felt a deep interest in the work done by the various educational institutions of our land. Their growth and prosperity mean the growth and prosperity of our nation. In a recent tour among prominent western colleges, it was my pleasant duty to investigate the corps of workers in Monmouth College. I stepped from ' No. 6 ' one morning in the early spring and vainly tried to bribe a ' bus driver to pilot me through Police Gazette. 29
