THE FHGEI2 They came, finally, and were accepted by their resDffCfiV6' OWHQTS with indignation, pleasure, or resignation, as the case Illlght be. It is quite a shock sometimes to learn, that after all our efforts, we only succeeded in loolcingnatural. Two pleasant evenings were spent at the homes of Miss Mary Kennedy and Miss Elizabeth Marcus, and at both we enjoyed our- si-lvcs immensely. Then before we realize it, we are in the midst of exams, a Word which brings to our minds a conglomeration of examination ques- tions, reams of paper and bottles of ink, and which makes us re- call the nights when we studied armfuls of texi books during the wee small hours. And then, comes Commencement, before We are fully aware of the fact, commencement which heralds the be- ginning of a new era of our lives, when we as men and women, shall take our place in the world, and following in the footsteps of our predccessors, shall at last win our laurels. And thus as our bark we're unmooring today, And Hope breathes a flattering wind, No joys in the future regret can allay For those we are leaving behind, Ali brightly they glitter in mernory's sheen. As cliffs in the sunset of the morn, No pleasures before us more dimless and keen. Than those that shall never return. -ALICE CASEY. '1T. 0

TH TIGER The next attraction was the dreaded examinations, accompanied by the usual fears and misgivings. However, our fears were with- out foundation for the most part, and we proudly received our pro- motion slips. 'Ihe sands in the hour glass move slowly, beholding us happily as- sembling as Sophomores. This second year begins most propitiously, finding us fewer in number, but stronger in purpose. VVe are soon initiated into the mysteries ef Caesar's Gallic War, most unwill- ingly at first. but by and by we decide that Caesar wasn't such a bad chap after all. Our constellation did not lack stars, for quite a few members of cur class began to exhibit talent along literary as well as athletic lines. The Athenian and Macbethiaa literary societies were disbandid, but, after a time, new societies were founded, in which many of our class olrained membership. During this term some of our c'ass fxfiibited quite a touching affection for Mr. Car- son's office, and were frequent visitors. The sands in the hour glass proclaim the flight of time, and we become Juniors. Our class enrollment is smaller than before, be- cause, for various reasons, a few of our -classmates did not return after summer vacation. One of the principal events of this year was the customary Junior-Senior banquet, which was held in the gymnasium. The decorations and entertainment were decided UD- on after much careful planning. and with Mr. Green as toast-master, the evening was one of arent success. Another memorable event, which occurred at the close of the term. was our participation in the Decoration Day parade. Although frequent showers compelled us to carry umbrellas, as we marched, our spirits were not dampen- ed in the lea't, and we departed homeward, lustily chcering for the Stazs and Stripes. It seemed a long step between our Junior and Senior years, prob- ably due to the fact that school opened later Qhan the accustomed date. But finally we assembled in room three, as dignified Sen- iors. VVe soon lcarned that the word Senior meant hard work, and that the position of the Seniors was not such an enviable one after all. The Scniors enjoyed populariiy during this last term, for our class room was weekly besieged by photographers, college repre- sentatives, and other individuals who seemed to be extremely in- terested in how and where we should spend OUT IHOHGY. Githelf Ht the present time, or in the future. After much discussion our pic- tures were ordered, and we waited impatiently for their arrival. 11
