HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Ii la not the fear that my fellow class-mates will torgct. nor is it that I want to remind them of their great deeds of valor, genius, kindness and meanness, bur that something tells me that it is neecessary for some one to place the doings of this squad in black and white. Since I have teen a witness to many of the most important actions, both tending to degrade as well as to uphold the dignity of the Senior Class. I feel inspltcd (or rather appointed) to writ , what I have seen and heard. It came to pass that late In the fall, when Scoggins, seeing the classes of the High School had not the proper spirit, suggested unto his classmates a means of having the desired effect. The result was the Bronco. This squad, better known at “the gang. had already taken some steps toward distinguishing themselves from the lower classmen who had gathered around them so often to hear whatever sound might accidentally fall from their lips, by adopting the colors of “Old Gold and Maroon. which in the case of the male members of the class should be pinned to the lapel of their coats and not be worn as belts, ties and hat-bands; however in the other case, the Old Gold and Maroon were to be placed in such a way ns to make them seem as showy as possible, (loud enough to be heard over the telephone.)

It contains no restrictions on the person In power, nor dot , it give any rights to whom it governs. So short a constitution. so far reaching an idea, was never expressed before. in more simple language than is our motto—“DERATE. Something more was to be decided on what was to accompany that little bow of Old Gold and Maroon. The Sun-flower was suggested, but was ruled out or. account of being a first cousin to the nigger-head, also a homestead for red-bugs and chlggers. After a long and ear ful study of Botany, the Red American Beauty Rose was selected. This was done for several good reasons. Ural, because of Its sweet scent, which saves the ladies of the class a perume bill; second, because of Its bright red color and large petals, which remind us of tne rosy cheeks oi ous class-mates; third., that the thorns that grow on tht
