History. Is it not our right as Juniors to tell for the last time of the success in our college life, of the viciO ' ries-we have won for ourselves and those we have helped others to win, both as scholars and athleres? But of course we will not forget to mention the de- feats we have met, altho. they are few and amount to nothing when seen on the same page with ouJ Like all others who first enter college, we were looked down upon, sneered at. and called green by our wiser school mates, but this was not the case after we had captured many of the Soph ' s most irdy men while on their way to their first class social. They were glad to make friends with us now and many were heard to say, This will surely be the best Freshman class which has entered school for many years. All went well and none dared molest us until the night of the twenty-first of February, when the Sophs made a weak attempt to capture some of us and carry the prize away. But such was not to be the case. They were doomed to disappointment. On the next day we did some fancy stunts and made both ' 04 and the police cry, Enough. The banquet was an event which will be long remembered with pleasure by every member of ' 05, although the Great George could not be there himself, he was there in Spirit and his name and fame was upon every lip. Many another time we were gathered together during this, our most eventful year, to enjoy a sumptuous spread and an evening of pleasant entertainment. As Sophomores we were again the leading class. Some of our number had enlisted elsewhere, others had become wise enough, yet our members were sufficiently bright to com- pose a class upon which fell the leadership of the whole school. In the early fall we met our first defeat on account of the enemies ' overwhelming number. While our colors floated gladly upon the top of a pole on the campus, we bravely met the onslaught of the barbarian army. Each one of our brave soldiers fought gallantly, but the gods were against us. and no defences could resist the terrible charge. The pole broke and our colors were torn to shreds. This was the beginning of the Kavelings. urn was soon to come, for we ' were considerate enough to provide an extra Freshman banquet, one by which every one could pick a Freshman from a eople for many weeks following. We do not need to tell you why 06 rode in the patrol wagon instead of in the usual conveyances. This part of our history is familiar to you. As Juniors, the year opened by one of our worthy members.

member, whom every boy envied and every girl was glad to know. But this was not all,- for his brother, Paul, will represent M. C. at the State Contest next year. Our career has been watched carefully, as the movements of every commander are watched, and all are ready now to say, Well Done. Many are not with us who came in the first procession across the campus to the college, but ' 05 is to-day the same in spirit that it always has been. We will not tell you more of our life at this time, of the minor scraps, of the Leap Year party given to us by our glorious girls, or the picnics and bob-sled rides. In everything we excel. We do our best at all times and help others to learn what they can do. In this little history we have told you truly of our life, and by doing that, feel you sympathise with us in our defeats and glory in our victories.
