iiig this year also, c coiitrihutrd our portion of tlii ' arsitv teams, both in football and in hasLhall. Wlu ' ii the oamcs between the elevens of the various classes were played for the class championship, we were still holding the first place, a place which we have held ever since we entered Collefifc. In literary lines also, the ( lass of ' ()() lias not been backward, being well represented by its members in the various society contests. Ere long the busy Junior year faded away, and then was readied the goal toward which we had been striving for three long years. Every College man knows that thrill of joy with which he returns to College, when he returns as a ' Senior. His successes of the three preceding years move him to make still more strenuous efforts in order that he may continue to win success. Thus did our class begin work: and we trust that we may be amply rewarded throughout tlu ' yeai-. and. finally, throughout life. It is with deep regret that we find ourselves so near the end of our College career; for tlie associations of the past four years liavc been many and pleasant. The struggle has bei ' u hard in many respects, and often it seemed as though we were fighting against uncoiujuerable foes. We have fought bravely, however, and as to the honor that we have obtained for ourselves throughout, we leave it to our professors to answer. As to the extent to which we have equipped ourselves for life ' s battle, we trust to the future for the answer. And now, in conclusion, we l)id a hearty farewell to our College, to our professors, who have been our friends and heljiers throughout, and to our conu ' ades, the lower-classmen. We extend to the Faculty thanks and apprecia- tion of their unceasing and never-tinng interest in us and in our welfare. We trust that their many words of advice and cori ' ection have not fallen on deaf ears, to be as unproductive as the seeds that fall in stony places; but that they have been heeded : and will, in due season, spring forth to yield some fifty, some sixty, and some an hundred fold. l nto the lower-classmen we wish every success throughout the remainder of their career, and may they always bear in mind the motto, which shall, u})on graduation, become the motto of each individual of the Class of 19()(): Never despair: but if you do, work on in despair.
