Senior Class Ifsfory. S I sat in my room in the calm of a Saturday evening, unhampered by the thoughts' of a date at the Dorm, and with no sound in the house but the melancholy twang of a guitar, that floated up to me from somewhere out of the depths, the thought came to me why not writea history. A history ! Yes write a history ! Queer thought I I smiled and began to think over all the things, the history of which might be written. A varied list ran through my mind, ancient and modern, good and' bad. What's the matter with a college class? I thought. Leave the ancients to be dug up and exhibited by somebody more fond of digging. There's IQOOQ they will do first rate. It will be a real service to humanity to write this history, for these Seniors are soon to go out armed with a string of A' recommends, and a history is a true statement of what is known, I settled back and began to muse on the people and their doings as I knew them. Their record is not one to be especially proud of . They came into the University the year of the last national election and if the U H has good luck they will pass out before another. They proved the capacity of the inner man at a Junior - Freshman social early in their career. That 16 to I social, sixteen boys to one girl. was one place at least where the girls were decidely taking. They took all the poor fellows had. This class is athletic. They played such good base ball that one time Gus Eberly had to call the game on account of his supper, and it took two fellows till away after dark to count up the score 5 the other fellows score. Football went even better and they won some honors at the game. With the humility of a lightening rod man, they asked that all their tablets be put in a row and then had the team picture put put into one of them. There is no need of fearing for their memories. They will not be forgotten. From this class have come three of the college orators. This is about the best thing they can say of themselves and they say it too. The departure of Griesimer from this class and the U was an event. Peace to his ashes. The gentle breezes of the Atlantic fan his fevered brow as he ponders why Wooster did not win at Granville. That Index J' they put out last year was the Hnest one the University has had in many a day. I never saw students so eager to buy anything. I-Iorn's News Depot has not had such a rush since Dewey took Manila. The demand far outran the supply.
