History of Class ' 06 FKOM time iiiiiiKiiiorial. it has been i )v custom tor some ' record to ho made of the history of maiikiiid. Bearing in mind the fact that it is tlic nation that makes the history, and not the history the nation, we are forced to conchide that the extent of our interest in the mal er of a history will depend solely upon the nature of the events recorded. !• rom this it would seem that we should record simply the victories and successes, without regard to tlu ' defeats and failures. l j)on second thought, however, we reali .e that since our history is written for posterity, with the hope that those who follow may better them- selves and learn from our ex|)eriences, therefore, we feel it our duty to record it. The Class of ' Of) openid its Ck ' nisoii College history on the ninth of Septem- ber, 190 : and. from then until the proeiit. has ])vvn fighting its way bravely toward the end. Although ni ' arlv two hundred strong, we were unable to battle with the hostile u})per-classmen, who beset us uj)on every side and compelled us to spend one yi ' ar in servitude. ' J ' hese, however, wei e not the sole causes of trouble in our nndst : for there were other task-masters, who, having our welfare at heart, set numerous difficult tasks before us. With these tasks many of us were able to cope successfn.Uy, but (juite a number despaired and gave u]) tlu ' fight.

Kncoura je(l by the successes of the year before, we set out nobly to perform the more difficult tasks of the Sophomore vear. It «as during this year that we were so well ri ' prt ' sented in thi ' various blanches of athletics, having t N() of our runiibt ' r on the ' varsity eleven. and three on Hie ' varsity nine. And tlii ' ii, on I ' ield Day, our class showed great ability to battle with their opponents upon the athletic (icid. In diu ' time, our iieloNcd Soph, yi ' ar |)assed away ; an l we had barely left i;il ' inoii iiiiiig for t ho e of our number lioiii uc had lost in the fight with the .lune exams, when we found ourselves again called together to make ready for the Junior vear. In the i)eginning, we were, as in the preceding year, joined by a number of the Class of ' (). ). Then commenced the struggle which i)ro ((l to i)e tlu ' hardest of the three.
