SENIOR POEM. 05. thou gem of many ages, Foiever be The cliihl of prophets, heroes, sages ' ho lived for thee. How hast thou, goaded Ijy ambition. Swept every sky ; And vexed by rugged Fate ' s condition. Heaved anxious sigh? For thee ai! ancients vied in making Their rich bequest alor and N ' irtuc ' s undertaking Are yours in zest. Thou ' st pro ' ed tlie value of thy patrimony In studious zeal Hast tried thyself in pathways often stony So rough and real. To gaze enchanted on the heights before thee Some day to gain ; To yield demurely while arts classic bore thee ; All to attain ; To wrestle science skeletons at midnight Miile nerves despair: r To sit at Finals ' ' until fading daylight Trips on the stair ; To dare to haze a Gu)- in dauntless spirit, Thy friend and mate ; To Biz, to flirt — perhaps tn wed — yet flourish Thy name in state. All these have been thy measured pastimes Classmates, dear. So may be passed their treasured lastimes The Senior year ! Oh seasons swift have come and gone — the fickle. False and true. Yet e ' er witli victorious tread the cycle Hast borne thee thro ' . As thou hast garnered in the perfumes From wisdom ' s horns Let pour thy cherished cornucopia Blossoms without thorns. Whate ' er may be the future years oncoming, May each survi ' e As safe so far — so safe ahead to harbor The Class of 1905. — Gerald Culberson. 24

SENIOR HISTORY. THE CLASS OF 1905 gave its first lusty yell on the afternoon of Januar v 23rd, 1902. At the sound thereof every Junior within the radius of half a mile quaked in his hoots for he knew that the in- e ' italjle haJ come to pass. Juniors were very scarce that afternoon, however, one did Cdme up the hill his pockets hulgin,c; with pep]3er for which he had squandered his sjiendin.o- money, or more like- ly, stuck the storekeeper. W i- were g ' oin,s; home then so he waded in the deep snow as we went past. The ne.xt morning ' we were arrayed for Ijattle, headed bv our first President, John Mullady. The Jvmiors were weak and we were strong — nor did we lia e to include a score or two of I ' reps to swell our number to a respectable size — o er each Freshman ' s heart rested our colors, White and Red: Peace or War, and we were willing and able to .give the Juniors either. They chose peace. Of course there were a few skirmishes, but the Juniors who par- ticipated therein were ijut half hearted and desisted after Ijeing rolled over the corridor a few times. Not a Freshman lost his colors. As Sophomores tlu. class wh ' jlly and indi -iduallv sat at the feet of their professors and got wisdom and with all their getting got imderstan.ding in the wavs of giving tiieir I ' reshnien breth.ren a little lirotherlv care and over- sight. AVe passed safelv through those trials of human end;irance known as the Junior orations. Then the Freshies appeared. They were a bold set, so brave that tliev organized under cover of I ' arkness and the light of the ne.xt da}- revealctl the fact that they had a Prep for President. Did we scrap them? Well you should have seen it! The red and white never faltered at sight of their host and many were the colors we carried off. In the spring they had an entertainment, but it wasn ' t our fault, for the President came to their rescue. But why all this about our past achievements. Every one knows that we have liveil up to our motto. Seniors now we have laid aside these frivolities and are needed to maintain the equilibrium of our college life. I ' reshmen and Preps, don ' t think us lost forever when you see lis depart; some of us will be back in a few years and tell you all about the . tmosph.ere and These dear old battlements, which you have not yet dis- co ' ered. ■.V So here ' s tj 1905 -aliant and true, mav Success and Fortune ever accompany her. — Harry ' ynne. 3
