SENIOR ACADEMIC CLASS HISTORY Green? Well, I should say we were! When we first came together upon the University of Florida Campus in nineteen hundred and nine we were such Green Freshmen that the president of the University would not allow a cow upon the campus for fear that the hungry animal might devour u . Of course, we bought our share of radiators, “bath, room permits,” and “campus tickets.” We would have bought anything else. This blissful state of ignorance and innocence did not last long, for we were spanked by the “sophs.” belted by the Juniors, and urged by the Seniors in all things. Our Freshman days thus passed quickly, so quickly that only two important things stamped themselves upon our memory. The first of these caused quite a commotion in our youthful ranks. We were amazed to discover that in the afternoon, between the hours of three and five, the heavens were overcast with a thick white smoke so dense that the sun was seen with difficulty. One day we were dragged into the presence of that terrible, august, and solemn body, the Discipline Committee, and the puzzle was solved. A the phenomenon came closer to our clouded vision we saw the cause of this natural wonder. It was blowing Into the nir the tings so perfect, so regular, and so symmetrical that we could only gasp in astonishment. No! it wasn’t Mt. Vesuvius, neither was It Mt. Aetna, it was only Dr. Jimmie's old faithful briar pipe in full blast. Another mystery caused us deep, yet instructive thinking. Every afternoon at one minute and forty- eight seconds past two o’clock, measured by the slide-rule. we saw stalking across our campus a strange and wonderful figure. In shape it was likened unto a human being, but in movement it had the sand-hill crane bea to a frazzle.” What was this inspiring object? Alas, gentle reader, we cannot tell, for it is a secret dear to every' Florida man. Our Sophomore year rolled around without mishap. Never again in this world will we feel so grown. This year we studied tatin, Greek. French. German, and Spanish until we could “jabber” with any “Dago” this side of the Atlantic. In 1911 and 12 the faculty considered us Juniors. This was a year which we enjoyed indeed. Every night after our study hours, we were lulled to sleep by the booming dynamite, or could sit at our windows and watch the conflagration in all its grandeur and brilliancy. It was a lovable year and we loathed to see it pass. The year 1912-’13 finds us dignified Seniors. How dignified we are! We can never hope to be more so, for the pinnacle of dignity has at last been mounted. Our ranks are thin: what wan a grand regiment in 1909 is now only a handful of seasoned veterans. So we say good-bye to Alma Mater. This four-act comic-tragedy Is ended. It has been a hard fight but we enjoyed every minute of it. and now that the curtain is falling upon the scene, we hope to hear the welcomed commendation: “Well done: good and faithful Servants.”
