classes, and the Freshman came to be as big a man to all appearances as the Senior. Now the success of the class of Ninety-six began to be commented upon all around. We did not let the Work of our Sophomore year decrease. We all received con- gratulations from members of the Faculty for our good work, and We ended our second year at college in about as happy a condition of mind as our first. Qf course We were not at all loath to take a vacation. It's hard to resist the thought of a good time, and oftentimes We give our- selves up to pleasure when we should not do so, but after a Whole school year's work we are entitled to a little fun. So our class thought, and we set out to our different destinations bent upon as easy a life as possible for three .short months. Before Autumn had robbed the trees of their foliage and the fields of their verdure, we were all hard at Work again. Cur class numbered thirteen and we had become juniors. To-day the Senior Class numbers only twelve. The thirteenth-who was No. 1 at the same time-God in His infinite wisdom removed from this World and left us to lament our loss. But in time We recovered partially from the shock and our daily routine of life Went on. Occasionally We juniors broke the monotony of a stu- dent's life and participated in the pleasures and frivolities so often indulged in at college. Behold Pete rocking in an arm-chair and trying to impress upon those around that there is nothing the matter with him. We don't like to doubt our brother's Word, but -- oh, Well We are all guilty of some unintentional misconduct. Another fact to be noted is that at member of Ninety- six suddenly became Weary of a lonely, solitary life and took unto himself a Wife. This was right hard to believe at Hrst, but nevertheless it was true. Itls the character- istic of members of the Senior Class that they are always longing for and striving after more than they have 5 they are never content, and I suppose that is Why Dick took une Epouse. Dick, I rather think, is a disciple of Bill Nye, who tells us to make good of life, for when We die We shall stay dead rather a long time. The year has linally come-the year of our hopes- and as We stand upon the threshold and gaze out into the far future, although We cannot see our destinies out- lined on the horizon, yet all of us can, and no doubt do, build Chateaux en Espague 3 H and whether we realize them or not will depend upon ourselvesg as we look back over the past We recognize and plainly see our many errors, chances that have slipped us and grieve that We have let them pass. We are proud to say though that these years of trial and study, sometimes o'ercast with lowering clouds, have been years of help and knowl- edge to us all. With pride we will look upon old St. John's as our alma wafer, and when out 'in the sea of life, PERSEVERANDO, we hope to gather the fruits of our labor. HISTORIAN.
