Three of the four years, which seemed to us like four rugged mountains, have slipped away as a dream, and we are now about to ascend the fourth and last, the sunnnit of which is growing brighter and brighter with the rays of hope and encouragement. It seems but yesterday that we found ourselves, on the beautiful morning of September 16, 1897, wend- ing our way across the college campus to Bosler Hall, whither we were summoned by the ecl1oing tones of the ...28...

Old college bell. How happy we are in the thought that the bonds of friendship formed that morning between each and every one of us have been strengthened, and that many of the acquaintances made then will develop into life-long friendships. The first year of our college life was the most eventful. We had scarcely become accustomed to our new surroundings, when one morning, as we were coming quietly from chapel, we were met by the whole Sophomore class, dressed in their worst and howling like fiends. They formed a wedge upon the path, and proposed to make us walk around them 3 but we didn't. There was a great tangle of arms and legs for a few d' to our own opinion, we licked them, and that is all that is necessary. The ardor of moments, but, accor mg p L D . the .. Sophs if Wasfthug somewhat dampened, and, although they tried several petty tricks, they gave us no further trouble during our first term. W I f Q . ' - Soon after our return from 'our first Christmas vacation we decided to follow the ancient custom, and regale ourselves with a banquet. February 17th was the date set, and we- forthwith proceeded to make our prep- arations for the wonderful event. The Sophs ' got wind of what was going on, and innnediately made their plans to prevent our celebration. However, all went smoothly, and .at last the eventful day arrived. Early in the morning our colors were floated from the flag staff of the Wellington, guarded by a noble band of FTESII- men. The Sophs followed us about that day like little terriers, barking at our heels, and endeavoring to catch one of us napping, that they might hustle him off to the mountam's fastness. Even the wortl1y Seniors lost their dignity, and endeavored to molest us in our harmless enjoyment. At last we inarshalledour forces and proceeded in an imposing column to the hotel. Our faithful co-eds three were well provided for, and at the appointed time they were driven to the hotel accompanied by our beloved Dean and his bride, and escorted by a well armed guard. Within all was mirth and feasting, without there was weeping and gnashing of teeth, for the door was shut. Some evil minded Sophs attempted to throw H 2 S in at us, 'but were scared off by a colored girl armed with a broom. Our banquet was a big success. What an imposing sight that table was, and how rapidly things disappeared. One would have thought that we all had a case of con- sumption. We were very sorry the whole class could not be present, but several of our members were zmawz'a'ably detained. . I - i u ' . ' ' ' . We shall long remember that night w1tl1 1tS Joys and its sorrows. Some of us saw some thlngs that night that we never saw before, mayomzaz'se of chicken and lettuce, oyster paliies, nronsommc, and such dainties. One prominent member of our class was wondering when they were going to bring on the eaux glacee. He knows better now. But we must hurry on as we have other deeds to tell. -. 29 ...
