Our good sense helped us to the first decisiong Dr. Hunt to the second. Early in the Senior year the girls entertained the boys at a picnic breakfast. The return meal has not been given yet,but it is close at hand and will doubtless be worthy ol the class that is its sponsor. lVe have appeared in caps and gowns, we have cut Psych, we have done all things according to time-honored rules for Seniors. In a few months the importance we now enjoy will have vanished. lVe will have class reunions every now and then as years go by and people who are strangers to us now will glance carelessly at us and wonder who we are. But we will have what the years cannot take from us-the memory of class triumphs, class frolics, class friendships, class loves, perhaps. and sometime in the school beyond, the greatest Teacher of all will bid welcome to us-the class of 1911. 23

His successors, however carried out his policy admirably and by the end of our sophomore year our po- litical supremacy was well established. lVe had almostannihilated the class ahead of us and had taught the one behind us a much-needed lesson so that we were ready to give attention to things social and in- tellectual by the time we were Juniors. The main event of the year, of course, was the banquet. At that function the committee proved conclusively that green and white was as well htted to lead Society's campaigns as it was those on Beaver Field. As juniors also, we estab- lished two precedents, namely, that of
