The Senior Class WHEN your Halcyon finally appeared, several pages were filled with your self-praise. In your egotism and jealousy, you refused to write the glorious history of the class of 1908, lest your best efforts and fondest hopes be put entirely in the shade. You well realized the truth of the saying, Blest be they who blow their own trumpets; otherwise they won ' t get blowed. We can find nothing to add to your vainglorious account, and a great deal to detract from it. Much might be said about your defeat of the Penn Freshmen on the track, and some mention might be made of how we licked you in football, even though the officials were Seniors and the darkness was fast coming on. But we will be kind to you during your last days at Swarthmore, and after some good advice send you upon your way with our best Mashes. Since we realize that the honor and reputation of our College will depend, in some measure, upon your actions in the outside world, we hope you will lay aside a little of your egotism, act a little more rationally and considerately, and do your best to spread the fame and glory of Swarthmore. 27:
