,.,, l om- oM:--- SENIOIQ SDDHISTIQI ES Four years ago a small class of innocent Freshmen came under the jurisdic- tion of a large class of sophisticated Seniors. They took fiendish delight in tor- turing these Freshmen and vainly racked their brains for ways to confound this class of prodigies. They enjoyed themselves immensely but carried their idiotic performances to an extremity. One superb Senior asked a Freshman to write a thesis on an intricate subtlety of Advanced Calculus. VVhen this treatise was submitted, it so far surpassed the knowledge of ordinary Seniors that it had to he sent to Cornell for interpretation. By the time this class reached its Senior year, Albany was begged for harder examinations in Psychology, Economics, Dynamic Geology and Vector Analysis. Members of this class were sent to VVashington as official interpreters of Ein- stein's theories. Not only mental, but also physical ability was exhibited by this class of genii. Through its etiorts school teams won live out of every four contests in football, hockey and ping pong. When the class finally agreed to tutor the faculty in Greek, the Board of Regents revolted because we refused to coach them also. That was because we were a little Bored of Regents ourselves. And now, dear school, we lay aside hyperboles and with all sincerity say goodby regretfully. We are going out into the world to learn those lessons which only age and experience can teach us. XN'e're sorry to leave you, but others step up into our place and soon we will be forgotten in the hurry of school life. To those to come we stretch a hand of assistance and whisper gently: XVhen you have taken our place, give your best to our school. For only by doing this will you come to love and appreciate it as we do. 'lack Kl1.i.1sA . NiARY BRIDGEINIAN .
