JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY. Standing foremost among the great items of Bacone College for the year 1914-15, will be found the record of the would be noted Junior Class. - At the beginning of our history we were confronted with many apparently impossible problems, but time and experience have made the seemingly impossible, possible. A weighty problem for us to meet at first was the com- petition with our Superiors , the more or less dignified Seniors, sometimes more, often times less. However, a vig- orous growth has taken place within the last seven months and we are forced to believe that we are not far behind our competitors. Variows minor problems have arisen to be solved. The extraordinary powers of eloquence and oratory in the boys of this class quite equal that of Webster.

18 THE BACONE- CHIEF, there are certain unknown facts in regard to natural phe- nomena within reasonable reach of our scientific genius, and are certain that a second Beethoven and Caruso com- bined, will thrill the musical world. Our girls who have ex- tensive knowledge and interests for the domesticities of life, are no doubt promising queens of the household for states- men, leaders and men-of-letters in time to come. In athletics we are not renowned, but show a Job- like patience, and a try, try again spirit. p We only regret that the space awarded us for our his- tory is not sufficient for telling you fully the various accom- plishments of arts and sciences planted in the membership of our class g but suffice it to say, they are the true vine upon which the choicest fruit will grow. Hoping to let you hear from us as Seniors this time next year, we submit ourselves to the mantle of oblivion for the present, and hope to shine with resplendent glory in the future. HISTORIAN.
