Junior Class History SOMETIMES many events are crowded into one year ' s time, but during this, the Junior Year of the Class of ' 04, few events have happened which are worth recording- — indeed, each day is so like every other day that we might almost say that the record of one is the record of all. The history of the Junior Class is not so different from the history of the world — a record of struggles. Perhaps it might be said that the history of our class is summed up in that little word, trial. This word is the key to our history in another sense, too, — it contains the initial letters of the words which sum up our record. T, the first letter of trial, is the initial letter of talk, and it cannot be denied that the Juniors have talked, though it may be denied that the talk of the Juniors is worth recording. Is not that habit of talking commonly considered the chief characteristic of women ? The Juniors have read from the pages of Carlyle that speech is great, but silence is greater, but they do not seem to believe it, except when they are in class and do not know the lesson. R suggests rush — a very truthful suggestion. We have been led oh from our Freshman year, hoping to come to an easy year, but the easy time, like the end of the rainbow, has ever receded before us, and so we have always had to rush to get all done, and we are still rushing on, toward graduation, we hope. Truly, the Juniors are typical Americans in this one respect that they are always busy. I sure means ink, both red and black, for these two have figured prom- inentlv in many of the important events of our history. That little word has the power of calling up such pleasant things, as for instance, Latin proses, examinations, themes and literature note books. A suggests a work which perhaps more than almost anything else has relieved the weariness of study — a work with which we associate so much pleasure, so much planning, so much enthusiasm. In after life when we look backward to our Junior year, we shall, perhaps, think first of ail of the Annual.
