In spite of the fact that some Juniors tried to cause some disturbances we all felt it was good to be a Senior. Our chapel orations are a thing of the past. Many weighty problems of state have been ably settled by our orators. ' 07 has always been noted for her fine oratory, and from the time we were Sophomores she has been ably represented in all the contests. What a task it has been to write and give these orations, but how free we feel now to look back and think it is all over. We showed the great interest we feel in oratory and the deep sympath)- we have for the orators, by attending the first junior orations of the class ' 08 in a body, lending them our undivided attention and criticism. That little word last is fast coming to be one of the most import- ant words in our vocabulary — the last chapel orations, the last criticism from the faculty, the last term of school, and many other phrases, and yet we are looking forward trying to see through the thin veil of the future and fathom the depths beyond. It is with sadness that we feel our school days drawing to a close, but we feel that our motto, Verum Omnia Vincit, will still lead us on to better and greater things. We will be glad to cast our mantles upon the Seniors to be and wish them all the joys and good fortune which have been ours. Bertha Kleeberger.

History of Junior Class AXOTHER year ' s history has unfolded itself. The Juniors, whose deeds this history is to summarize and set before you, have flourished for a brief season and now at the end of this collegiate }ear, lo, stand forth as the Seniors of ' 08 ! Beside those who have toiled and strove through the three, or perhaps more, preceding years together, two strangers came among us last fall, not, however, to remain strangers long, but by bonds of affliction, namely Junior orations, to be firmlv established as a part of the class. Some of the best material of the College is in our class. Let me prove it. Our girls stood well at the head of the list of those who made the highest grades in the class room during the year; C. X. Filson was one of the team of debaters which won the inter-society debate last year; C. M. Small is editor of the Collegian: Geo. McClary is one of the most promising young ministers in school ; Kirk Woolery and J. J. Smith are on the regular basket ball team ; C. L. Chapman won the 27
