Again we enter upon another year. No more class scraps. No more midnight pranks to punish special freshness. All these things we consign to under-classmen, while we enjoy the Maryland Club, the evening social and dreamy waltz. Now we study to pass, not for marks. Yes, we go to class. Some of us even make a special oratorical effort to furnish entertainment for the other fellers who don ' t know half so much; and before we are aware of it the year is gone. .■ fter spending another pleasant vacation, we enter upon the last act. Soon this will be complete and we will draw the curtain once for all on our college life at dear Bucknell. This year goes on much the same as the former ones. Our good athletes as usual keep our banner floating high. We work with, perhaps, a little more thought of the future struggle near at hand. We begin to realize what a grand course has been our march through the past. Our views have broadened, our habits have become fixed, and we have gathered strength and mental energ}- to meet the stern realities of life. Soon our friendships must be broken. As a Class we shall stop making historv, but as individuals we shall each begin. Let us have hope for the future, and for whatever we may ac- complish let us give all the glory and all the thanks to dear old Bucknell for showing us how to dare and do. Historian. Senior dlase ipocin. Gather once more as the gray dusk is falling. Bright was the da} ' , but its sunshine has fled; Under the red and the blue let us linger, Breathing a sigh for the day that is dead. Gather once more, as together we ' ve journeyed Through the long hours in the noontide ' s fierce heat; Stand bv the colors which never yet trampled. Wave a glad welcome wherever we meet. Once the day seemed all too long for our pleasure, Now ' tis gone past, and we linger to say: Swift sped the moments we journeyed together, Easy the path o ' er the much traveled way. Sad ars we ? Ah, but another day ' s coming ! Out through the sunshine another path winds; Short it may be through the valley or highwaj-. Rough it may be, or with flow ' rs thickly twined. Tears must not glisten in eyes that look onward. Fear daunt the courage to dare and to do; On then, the day will pass quickly, remember Sure are rewards for the faithful and true. 19 •

1F3istor of 1902. XCE more we come to write the history of 1902. The historian has neither the space nor the inclination to present a detailed account of the events of the Class which is to us so dear, but is content with a short retrospect of our college life to which we soon shall bid farewell. ( )ii an autumn day of ' 98, when all nature was at her best, seemingly bidding us welcome to dear old Bucknell, we made our first appearance in the comedy of errors, the fourth and last act of which we are about to complete. How kindly then we were receive l ! How delightful the reception given by 1901 in the gym- nasium ! Fortuna smiled upon us, too, when we met that genial (?) hostess in open air conflict. During this year we found our college friendships. Especially was this true among our classmates. Yes, we did a little grinding, but then that is characteristic of most Freshmen classes. Thus our first year ended. Vacation is over and again we seek our home among the oaks. A change has come over us. Providence, somehow, has made us Sophomores and wise fools; indeed, so wise is our bearing that our new enemy, though legion, dare not attack us. The scenes of this act differ from those of the former. We perform no more daring feats of cavalry; blow-outs are the order of the day, and we have a goodly number of them if the Vg ' s dis- pensed this year at the laboratory is any criterion. Then, we learn of those honored gentlemen who wrote — wrote real poetry. By the time we are acquainted with those worthy bards the beautiful May daj-s are here and we wander out to find the wee, modest, crimson-tipped flower to .see if nature formed it rightly. A few of these pleasant rambles and vacation comes. . . j8 . .
