EXTRACTS FROM A SOPHOMOREYS DIARY Wed., Sept. 16-Back again to dear Elmira ! And lo,-the Myrtle-and laurel-crowned Seniors of last yeai' are missing, and instead we find half a hundred motherless children waiting to be adopted by our loved Alma Mater. Wed., Sept. 23-Election of class ofiicers this afternoon. Our guiding star since the beginning is still to shine upon us. Wed.,Oct. 7-To-day Elmira's newly-christened daughters took their first lessons in tree-climbing and brushing the cobwebs from the sky!! But they have yet to learn how to capture both bell and Belle-ringer. Fri., Oct. 9-We entertained our Freshmen to-night down in the old Park Place school. The result was gratifying. The way the little folks ate their bread and molasses gives prom- ise of docility g the spirit with which they danced and played betokens fun-lovers, and from us must drop upon them the mantle of wisdom. Sat., Oct. 10- An ounce of prevention instead of Castoria. As a result we had a feast fit for a king, and '07 went to bed hungry, but happy. - Mon., Oct. 26-We are wearing our new caps of white corduroy, with the gold '06 -just a degree less dignified than the black caps of our upper olassmen. Sat., Nov. 7--The laurels which we won from the Freshmen at basket ball, we surren- dered to-day to the Juniors, but with honor undiminished, everyone tells us. To-day has also witnessed the opening of Senior parlors. The unanimous verdict is more charming than ever before? And we of 1906 had the first welcome there, thanks to our fond 1904. Fri., Feb. 12-A RED LETTER DAY-At the invitation of our president we met at six o'clock in the Biology laboratory for our Sophomore spread. Theboard was laden, the guests merry, our patron saint benign and favoring. We made the old walls ring with our new Class song, and the praises due to our poetess. All united in making the aHair a grand suc- cess, but the palm was awarded to the loyal little girl who brought her dearest possession, and shared him with her class-mates of 1906. Sat., Feb. 13-Last night brought the glorious excitement and fun, but the serious light of to-day brings something even better, in the memories of all the good times and busy times we have had in our short class-life. And then,- 'E We know what we are, but we know not what we may be,'l for They say best men are moulded out of faults? We know what we would be, for not in vain have we watched our Seniors, with their dig- nity and sweetness. And we have two years left in which to work, and play, and grow.
