THE BOMB HISTORY OF J905 History of 1905 F ( )R the fourth and last time we come before the pub- Uc with our little tale of woe. As this is our last time up, Mr. Knocker, please put away your stick, and you stern critic, it is not fair to take advantage of us when you know that we won ' t have another crack at you. It is true that we are few in numbers as you can see from the roll, but every man loves ' 05, and we have been drawn together as only such a number could be. From present indications every member of ' 05 will get his dip at finals, it being the first time since we have been here, and probably for many years before our time, that this has happened. We can ' t lay claim to any prodigies among our number, nor to being an unusually bright class, but there is herein pictured a bunch of dispositions ever ready at the proper time and occasion for either pleasure or work. Having entered the Institute in the fall of nineteen hundred and one, hazing having been abolished the previous 3 ear, we are not able to tell you as the preceding classes have done that we were treated worse than any class ever here. We got our share, however, but it was in a milder form. Our rat year passed ciuietly and without much excitement, with the excejition of the trip of the Corps to the Charleston Exposition. Returning in the fall of nineteen hundred and two, at the end of our first furlough, we were minus a great number of our classmates who did not return, we are sorry to say, but we gained some good men that fall who entered the class, and they have since shf)wn their worth in every department. All contributed in December of that year to the fireworks escapade, which is on record as the most daring and well executed stunt of any former class, but that deserves mention elsewhere. The outcome was the loss of about sixteen of our members, good ones, too; men whose places in the class have not since be en filled. At the beginning of the second class year we missed se eral other familiar faces, and everything passed smoothly, the year terminating with the annual ball, which has e -er been a success. 48
