Hrxci-LLEY Co3miT'1'EE ig, R, YIXEYAKD It is with no small amount of trepid.ation that the editors publish the Class Book of ,QQ for the critical inspection of their class and its many friends. The class as a whole has as-sisted materially in making this book a success and the editors desire to thank them for their hearty co--operation. To Henry Wach- ter, president of the class, great credit is due for his untiring efforts to further the interests- of the class book. The class of ,QQ points with pride to the fact that the two previous classes issued no class book to keep their memory green CFU arnd it is the sincere wish of ,QQ -that, beginning with this year, the class book may be an annual feature so that posterity may read with pleasure Qand profitj the pranks and jokes practiced by their gra.ndmothers, and great OD grandfathers. the present green Freshmen, giddy Sofphomores, im- portant Juniors' or Qworst of alll the most potent, rev- erend and grave Seniors. i The editors wish to commend the excellent work of the Union Printing Company, the publishers of this book, and to assure future classes that all work given to this company by them will receive careful atten- tion. ' Those seeking for literary gems, arnd polished fig- ures of speech, are requested to close the book at once for their search will be in vain. The o-nly claim that the editors make for this bo-ok is that it contains :1 faithful account of all the joys and 'sorrows found in four years of school- life. Future .ages will remember the class of ,QQ as- the last class that ever assembled within the historic walls i
