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

gold medal last year for being the best athlete in school ; John Warren and F. W. Long are base ball enthusiasts, filling good positions; E. J. Doley is a Schwab in financial matters. He is business manager of the Collegian and by his well-planned, well-executed efforts has effected a marked improvement in our college paper ; E. C. and E. I. Jobes are two of the best musicians in school, playing piano and violin, respectively. And so we might continue until every member had received mention, but this enough to prove our point. Of course, we have our faults, but find them out for yourself, we ' re not going to tell tales ! The Juniors and Seniors clashed once this year and we must admit the Juniors were the aggressors. The Seniors were being pleasantly entertained one evening at the Barclay homestead when a crowd of the Junior boys went out, walked upstairs and took possession of the Senior lids. They then met in a Junior ' s room down town and for a time hilarity reigned supreme, as they beheld one another in Senior caps. Then a council was held and it was decided to garnish chapel hall with festoons of caps so the caps were bundled together and the boys started up across the campus. But the Freshmen, who were in serious danger of losing their pink and white prettiness and simple innocency, by keeping such late hours, were gathered around the college entrances and appeared violently opposed to the Juniors ' plans. After a slight skirmish the Juniors took the caps back and hid them, well, somewhere, it wasn ' t known exactly where for two weeks or so. At least we dare any Senior to declare solemnly he knew at the time where those caps were. Many of the Juniors were seen bare-headed during this time. It looked somewhat as if the Seniors had counted a great deal on their lids anrl paid scarce attention to their hat supply so persistently they took the Juniors ' hats. But at last it all ended, the caps were given back and all was once more as if these things had never been. The evening of our first orations passed off very pleasantly, all the speeches were good and no one forgot or blundered in any way to mar the delivery. Of course, we were criticised next morning and received some pretty hot shots, but then the foremost soldiers always bear the brunt of the fight. One more appearance on the boards of Chapel stage — the last time that we are Juniors stand together and our history as a class is ended. Bear with us kindly, then, for a few short months, fcr in June, 1907. we pass out of your lives as Juniors. Muckety, muckety, muck rake ! We ' ll give em all a shake ! Here ' s to the Juniors and their fate. Here ' s to the class of 1908 ! ! A Junior. 28
