good and did not play in the coal bucket or chop down any cherry trees they might sometime be like us. Most people would have been flattered by such a knowledge and would have waxed exceedingly proud of themselves, but we did not. To tell you of all the things in which we are superior not only to ordinary mortals but to any Senior Class which has heretofore graced this institution is impossible both for lack of space and for lack of inclination. We believe con- ditionally in the proverb, “Toot your own horn lest it be not tooted,” but we do not now propose to put the belief into practice, having observed that those who do so are frequently accused by envious persons of having too exalted an opinion of themselves. Returning to our text, from which, after the usual ministerial fashion, we have wandered far afield, we observe one change in our opinions which is more serious in its nature. Last year we noticed in the countenances of the members of the then Senior Class a pensiveness slightly tinged with melancholy, at which we wondered much. We thought that if we were as near to graduation as they were our joy would be full and we could conceive of no reason for sorrow. Now, however, as the time approaches when we shall bid farewell to the insti- tution with which we have been identified so long, we understand, and our- selves feel this touch of sadness. Our thoughts wander back over the varied scenes of our college career and as we live over again in memory some pleasant happening or seem to see again some friendly face there comes to us a vague regret that our college life lies now behind us, and ahead “The days darken round us, and the years, Among new men, strange faces, other minds.” It may be that at times we have felt that a college course is full of hard- ship, but after all it has been a happy time, and the memories of Simpson, like the friendships we have formed there, will remain with us through life. And now in conclusion, hoping that in your memories of us you will only hold to that which is good, we give you—fellow students, teachers and friends—not this time au rcvoir, but farewell. —C. B. S., ’06. Class Officers. V. D. Dusenbery, President. Besse Matson, Vice-President. Bess Harris, Secretary. William Reynolds, Treasurer. C. Boyd Stevenson, Historian.
