HEN june came and we were about to scatter, one of our number proposed that we have a Round Robin Letter dur- lliefbl ing our vacation. The Suggestion was quickly taken, and early in july the letter started on its long journey. It went around once and started again, but school commenced too early for all of us to receive it a second time. But those who could not enjoy it during vacation, had the pleasure of reading it when they came back to School. T At our first meeting as a class last fall we found that one of our number had not rejoined us. A few weeks later another member of our class was 'obliged to leave us on account of ill health. Since then two others have left school. We have had one member added, so our entire number now is sixteen. Several of our members have changed from the four-years' course to the three-years' course, so now there are only eight on the regular course. Early'-in the year we elected our class officers, which, with the exception of the vice-president and the historian, are the same as last year. February 14th, we held a class social in the reception room. The evening was pleasantly spent in literary games and music. Ice cream and cake were served. We each received a valentine as a souvenir. Morning and evening we are found roaming about with our eyes turned upward in Search of the distinguishing marks of the trees. Last year we haunted Room 18, but this year Room I5 is occupied at all hours-of the day. There we dissect and draw, and draw and dissect. Here are some choice things heard in the class room. Mr. Wilson in Zoology- Females are usually fadeji out. Zoology-Are we all supposed to have a Packard. Mr. MCD-nn--ll is evidently troubled with mosquitoes, for he says that they .aggravate human beings. What is the botany lesson? Recite under the line.

Although all of this advice had not at the beginning of -e i T ' th-e year been offered, the members of Class D., as it were by some - mysterious warning of the vials of red ink that would be poured out upon them in the future should they neglect to do this, took heed and read directions. Aimeeting was called, and Class D. was considered as a whole. The class was hrst initiated into the depths of Psychology when one of our number, in a Gay manner, gave such a comprehensive definition of that article called -a chair, that no other dared attempt to even attain unto it. Astonished at this unusual display of knowledge, we were overwhelmed at hearing ,Miss H-rs-y state in our presence that once she had actually seen a stuffed elephant, and the general inference which she had gained from the ob- servation was, that elephants might be very disagreeable animals. English was very interesting, being in some ways unlike anything we had ever had before. We learned to contract our minds-a little-so that we could make up sentences about an orange without. any help from the teacher. After being in this state for a while, Mr. T-ll-ey attempted to give a short definition of evolution, The reaction which followed this sudden expansion was so marked that many silently suffered from sore throat the rest of the day. Truly, sympathy is costly. In art, Miss L-nch easily leads. She is at present applying herself dili- gently that in the future she may recognize the fact that' a representation of a goose on canvas does not necessarily produce the idea of a chicken. The true scientific spirit follows only from an inquiring mind. There- fore, in Physics, Miss TK-rm-y-r searches long and earnestly in the tank of
