Jenior History - It is 19045-a year since a history has been written. In our opinion, the greatest mistake in that time was made when we elected the same Historian to succeed himself. The class has 'many strong features -to quote Burroughs-but it lacks entirely an idea of the importance of being well published, for the Historian is reported to be the biggest bum and the laziest man in the Senior Hall. He won't lace his shoes before breakfast one morning in three months, he won't take part in athletics, he won't do nothin', but sit on his fencing-girl cushion and smoke dopes. Another great mistake was to make Strange treasurer. With the propensities common to all Jews, he duns the fellows before their bills are due, and when fortunate enough to get a dollar, lives on cough-drops forthe next week. As a consequence of our error, we shall have to detail Rube, Somer, and Mooney to swipe 'possum skins and rob potato holes 'in the country to get a class shield. But we compliment ourselves upon our choice for president. You should see Wirt Wilmer since he is both president and Major. He has all his hats made to order now, but, to be confidential, he is still the same boy of old, with a few crazy notions added. He imagines that he is responsible for all that goes on around him, and continually harps on what he calls devotion to duty. Every night at 11.15 sharp, despite the anathemas, howls, and mumbled Sunday School words, he turns out every light in the hall. We don't like this, though we can not blame one vested with so much authority. Old Lady Wilson was again made vice-president, not at all because she deserved it,'but, being a very sensitive dame, she would feel slighted if not given some considera- tion. But then it doesn't matter who is vice-president. The position is simply honorary. We still retain Somerville as secretary, because he never writes minutes and we are not troubled with hearing them read. His duty seems to be to callthe roll. He is still in the fluttering state mentioned last year. Perhaps this accounts for his not being able to keep still long enough to journalize our momentous proceedings. But in justice to him, I will say that he has carefully considered, and finally determined upon one thing- marriage soon after graduation. We wish him well, but pity the girl. Our achievements in athletics .during the past year have been gratifying. Mudd made an excellent baseball captain, and was re-electedunanimously to the same position thigigear. This action on the part of the team is a high tribute to his ability. . To express general opinion, Halbert was the best football captain in the history of St. Joh.n's. Q His work on the gridiron is a direct contradiction to the saying, a captain never plays' good ball. , Our schedule this year was a hard one, but through the com- bined efforts, of boys men's fearlessnesst and men's aggressiveness, directed by a head A .
