But we have done our best, though sometimes by proxy. See how we left the musical club leaderships to '99, as we did not have com- petent men Cnot even one to play the piano in gymj we naturally looked for help to those we knew would not fail us. But there is one thing we pride ourselves on, and that is Sabrina. What is Sabrina? Why, 'Sabrina is a game we play and is a good deal like playing hide-and-seek with yourself while no one looks for you. Ninety-six taught us this and it cost us 12250 just to come in the game. The game is played by three of our great men, Walker, Lennehan, and Johnston, but the ante is paid by the whole class. You see, of course, by this explanation, what a glorious game Sabrina is. But it costs money, there are lots of incidental expenses besides the 25250. We have succeeded in getting rid of this white elephant to 1900, which only goes to prove that all the fools are not dead yet. Yes, in our sad and checkered career it has required much courage and fortitude for us to hold up our heads at all in the face of such dis- astrous progress, but think what a proof of the soundness and stability of the college is shown in the fact that it has held together while we have been making our tactful, anserine way through it. And though our friends, while watching us wallow in many difficulties, have often despairingly exclaimed, Where, oh where are the brave old Seniors, shall we not console ourselves with the hope that we may serve as a warning and awful example of how things ought not to be done, and that the story of our retrogress may set off by contrast the brighter picture of the succeeding class. And now, as a last and serious word. To you, alumni, whose ranks we are so soon to swell, to you, undergraduates, who are following in our footsteps, partaking of the same joys and sorrows that we have, to all sorts and conditions of Amherst men, we appeal, that you re- consecrate your most earnest and devoted endeavors to the continued welfare and advancement of our Alma Maier. Long may her star be bright, long may she be cherished and upheld by her loyal sons, in whom the true, the noble Amherst spirit never dies, but lives on, ever ready and eager to sound her praises and to lift her name above all others, and in so doing shout Excelsior! 28
