Freshman who, when he tried to screw up his courage, would find that it had fiown back to the woods. Just after thesemi-annual exams, the Sophs, being rather short of cash, con: sulted together as to how they should procure valentines. After a great deal of discussion the fertile brain of avery learned youth solved the problem. His plan was evidently ap- proved, for one night, when the mercury seemed possessed with a desire to get as low in the thermometer as possible, we were yanked out of bed and solemnly conducted to the fourth floor Art Studio. ' There, with wrapping paper for canvas, Eureka shoe blacking for oil colors, thewall for an easel, and our noses for brushes, we were required to paint someientrancingly beautiful pictures. This is but another proof of the great confidence that the Sophs. had in our ability. I could relate many other such stories to you if my time and space were not so short, but I must pass on. In spite of these little happenings, the Sophs are good fellows and many warm friendships have sprung up between the two classes. Our history would be incomplete if we did not mention ,Billy'Beam, the scape- goat of the class, who always kept us in a ,good humor with his pranks and witty sayings. He left us in February to seek his fortune elsewhere. Our old friend Binder, too, has left us. The wish of the class toward them is that Heaven's choicest blessings and earth's brightest joys may be theirs. As we glanceiback over the past year we see several occasions where we might have accomplished more than we did, yet on the whole, we are pleased with our showingl In the class-room, on the athletic field and in all the branches of college life, we have much to learn, but we are young and may profit by the mistakes of others. To make our Class remembered and respected for its literary and athletic ability and for the manliness of its members is the ambition of every member of 1907. I . 4 H1s'roR1f.N. sg Mr, XE' I 91
