The GRIST H CLASS HISTORY of 1906 HAVING passed through the busiest stages of our college life and finding ourselves “ grave and dignified ” Seniors, we look back on the last four years and feel like asking for four years more. The days when we were Freshmen and Sophomores seem like yesterday to us. A few short days, these four years; and it will be but the passing of a night before we are gone. When we realize that our Alma Mater is facing a period of growth and prosperity such as it has never seen before, we are anything but glad that our college days “ on the Hill” are numbered. A year hence and we shall not be where we can hear the college yell and song, we shall not be in the classroom or laboratory at R. I. C., but in those of the school of life, each for himself. Like all Senior years, ours has been quiet and uneventful. Two of us succeeded in making the football team, basketball found us actively interested, and baseball will find us doing our share. We hope that the men of our future teams will be college men in every respect. We shall watch with interest the growth of the present classes, and the desire uppermost in our hearts is that you keep the ball rolling and do your part toward building history and tradition, which we desire and need so much. Our college is still young and faces a prosperous future, but the student life to be rests with you. Keep your class yells sounding and your colors flying, muster all the class and college spirit you can, use it everywhere and all the time. The Class of 1906 will come back some day ; and whether the effects of our labors will be seen or not, if we find that we helped ourselves a little as well as aided those behind us, we shall feel satisfied. And so we plead with you to “ hold your ground to the last man,” help our little college at every opportunity, show that she has done something for you by doing something for her. As we look back, our mistakes appear large, and we see where we could have done better; but the best we can do now is to encourage you of the other classes to make each Senior class just a little larger and better than the one before. Do not let the last term of the Senior year find you regretting
