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.

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. It has three distinguished debators who are destined to sway thou- sands of the noblest citizens some day. We also feel that

Our dear Old Classmate: At the request of the class of 1917, who held a reunion here in Chicago a short time ago, we are writing to tell you about all of your old classmates. We were very sorry that you could not be here to find out about us for yourself, but, as it was impossible, we shall try to tell you. Tillian Tickness, the Treasurer of our class, left a few days ago for China, as a missionary. She has been a great help to her own people, and will be missed very much by her many friends. A prominent physician of this city is Doctor John Paden, who used to have hivs mind any place but on his books. We often dine with Dr. and Mrs. Paden in their beautiful home here in the city. We are sure you will be glad to hear that Athalene Brown, who used to compose our class poems, is now a well known novelist of Boston. Probably you have read some of
