But not all the deeds of ’07 are confined to athletics. Many of the dramatic and literary luminaries from our ranks have risen above the horizon of ordinary literary attainment and have served as guiding stars to the struggling lower class-men. Also, our class early took a prominent position in the high school social world, and has continued to lead from that time. To enumerate the many and varied gatherings and festal occasions, would require far too much time and space, and would probably tire our dear reader. Let it suffice, however, that our social successes have bound us closer together and established a fraternal feeling, which has characterized our every act. But now, comes the greatest problem of our career! The whole world lies before us—a desolate spectacle or a rosy-hued region of blissful-felicity according to our individual ideas. We will soon be widely scattered and the class as a unit will exist only in name, but undoubtedly our fondest remembrances and most pleasing thoughts will always be associated with the class of '07; and tho the pain of parting be keenly felt, nevertheless, we should enter the world before us with that buoyancy of spirit and strength of purpose that becomes the explorer. As we leave, we feel with satisfaction that the class of 1007 has developed in character, as a class and as individuals of which it is composed: has established new precedents and maintained the old: has in fact, done all a class, loyal to itself and to its Alma Mater, could do. 18
