enough, and others, alas, having fallen by the way- side, as one of our honored faculty would say. This loss, however, was partly made up for by the addition of two new men, one of whom is the Editor-in- Chief and the other the Business Manager of this humble little volume. 1 Having turned our attention in our Freshman year to bettering the condition of the College Cand inciden- tally of ourselvesb, we now occupied our fine large minds with other things. This year, among other good deeds that we performed, may be mentioned worrying one or two profs. nearly to death. The objection may be raised to this that we did not do it thoroughly, and we must admit that we realize now what a mistake we made. But the way we won the inter-class championship in foot-ball pleased everybody Cexcept the Freshmen, juniors and Seniors, and they don't countj. Three months having passed, we again gathered together in the sacred precincts of these ivy-covered wallsf' as every valedictorian for the last five years has said. Athletics were in a Hourishing condition during this year. We had six men on the foot-ball team, and a junior was elected captain of the base-ball team. Of the four on the running team, three were juniors. W'ill, the Beloved, was the member of that dreaded body called the faculty, who seemed to have the most trouble getting along with us. He has threatened us all in turn with being sent out of class for the year, until now it has gotten to be a standing joke, and we expect every day to hear the familiar Mr. ---, if that h-h-happens again, I'll s-send you out for g-g-good. l' It seemed to some that there was a good deal of latent histrionic ability among us and that it was a pity the public should'nt have the benefit of it, so a play, in fact two plays, were gotten up, in which nearly all the parts were taken by juniors. It is needless to say that the entertainment was a success. Some of the men. must have spent the Summer months in deep thought, for scarcely had the term begun when a great proposition was made-so great a proposi- tion that it could not possibly have been thought of on the spur of the moment. It was no less than this-that we juniors should get out an annual. This was a thing which had never been done at St. Johns before : there- fore if we succeeded, it would bring us undying fame. and if we failed, we could sympathize with our class which had attempted it. As it seemed that we had every- thing to gain and nothing to lose, we decided to make the attempt. The result of this attempt was that we published St. john's 'nrst annual exactly two hundred years after the founding of the College. 'We realize that it is an unworthy tribute to this venerable institution on the completion of its two centuries of existence, but we hope it will be taken as an indication of our love for our alma maieff and of our sincere efforts in her behalf.
