EV0L ° History. virumque ca.no. HE present Senior Class has, worthy to be re- corded, a thousand thing ' s mi- bile dictu. But the want of pace forbids that many of these worthj r feats and accom- plishments of ours shall ever be made known. Tolidem verbis, this class, though small in numbers, is the banner class of all that have ever gone out from these walls. From Texas, Missis- sippi, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, we came tog-ether here, and Mony a canty day We ' ve had wi ' ane anither. Perfect harmony has at all times existed among us, and the friendship of our school days has doubled life ' s joys and halved its sorrows. We regret that the time of our parting has come ; that we must speak our last farewell — a word that must be, and hath been — A sound which makes us linger — yet — farewell. Out of the Freshman Class of ' 98, sixteen in number, but two, Wear and Johnson, par nobile fratrum, have sur- vived to tell the story of many hard-fought battles in which we saw fourteen of our fellows either flee as deserters or fall on the field. From fourteen Sophomores we gained but two classmates, Feild and McGlothlin, who were able to come with us to the end. Verily, they shall have their reward. From the Juniors we gained no new companion. The last of our old comrades gave up the struggle and left the big four, determined to see the end. Happily for us, however, we were not thus to continue. Our number must be increased. During the Senior year we were joined by two noble aspirants, Lewis and Mitchell. Mr. Lewis joined us as an irregular Senior, coming from the Junior Theo- logical Class. Mr. Mitchell being an irregular student, had completed several Senior studies, and at the opening of the last term made the sixth member of our class. Thus we stand. Six! Behold us ! Mitchell and Wear Certainlv get there ; With McGlothlin and Feild Close on their heel, And Lewis and Johnson Will get there in the long run. Prophecy. Alexander McGlothlin : Thou art he whom thy fel- lows shall praise. Thou shalt be a great merchant. From thy bountiful store many hearts shall be made glad and the} ' will rise up and call thee blessed. Serns in caelum redeas. David Earl Mitchell : Unto thee shall the gathering of the people be, for thou art a fruitful branch. Thou shalt be a great educator and many shall come from the East and the West and the North and the South to have their thirst for knowledge slaked at thy fountains. Dili laetus inter sis populo tuo. Luther Ewtng Wear : Thou art rara avis ; thy head is red ; nevertheless thou shalt be great among thy fellows. Thou shalt be a great lawyer; nations shall wait for thy opin- ion, and thou wilt mete out justice to all. Sit tibi tonga vita. Lemuel Jackson Lewis : Thou art a rare jewel set in a rough stone. Thou shalt be a great preacher. Many shall look to thee for instruction and example. Thy responsibil- ities shall be great and increased. Dens sit tecum et pros- perit. Julian Clarence Feild : Thou art a peach. Thou lovest girls more than books. Hence thy head shall be bald ; and she whom thou now lovest will marry another. Nevertheless, thou shalt have plenty of money and see a good time. Sit tibi terra levis. Geo. Lewis Johnson: Thou art an ass couching down between two burdens, but thou shalt arise and shake off the dust, and the countenance of thy physiog shall change. Thou shalt be a preacher, and many shall rise up and say unto thee, go away back and sit down. Ob- tineas dulcem et bonam uxorem.
