SQIUOI' IGSS ljiSfOl'V h. A ' .M- .. .,.. - HE class of '98 leaves the old halls and campus of Emory, having trodden W Wil-Af, . - . .VX the paths that so many feet in former times have worn and is now as a gh departing guest on the threshold, to bid a God be with you to all 6 .gil 1 that will henceforth appear only as tender memories of the truly happy 5 5 days. A feeling of sadness that is not without its pleasure is present in all our hearts, and as with gratitude and reverence we cherish the memory of one who, in our childhood's days guided our footsteps safely through difficulties, so do We turn with filling eyes and swelling hearts to bless thee, Emory. Our class is stronger in numbers than any in the history of the college. YVe have not all come up together, some come from Sub. , the majority from Fresh. and not a few from Soph., two entered Junior, and two joined our ranks Senior. Some have dropped out, and it has pleased God in his providence to take from us the truly noble man, Will McConnell. After the changes of four years, we come to the close of our college course forty-one strong. We are a composite, as usual, of various elements, not all are scholars, not all are slothesg but our average is far better than usual. Our influence among the other classes has been for the most part good. Under the management of our present editors, the Phoenix has had the most successful year in its history. We are a class remarkable in that there are four men whose partizans claim ability for each to lead the others. Our class is the only one in college that can supply the need of an orchestra, as the occasion demands. Our chorister is good, and we have several other vocalists of real merit. In some departments of athletics we lead, and, taking us on the whole, we have more good athletes than any class in college. Cuba finds many hearty sympathizers in our number, and Lieut. Atkins says, he is ready to march, at a moment's notice to the soul stirring cry of Cuba libre. - Of our deportment, sufiice it to say, it doth become a Senior grave. To us is due the abolishment of a precedent fruitful of much bad feeling and jealousy. We neither attempted to get the song from '97, nor did we conceal our own. The class of '99, which by the way, is a good class, have very sensibly ignored the old custom of stealing the song, and now the only bad feature of Arbor day has been removed. Among our number there are eight teachers, to be, eight lawyers, six physicians, four preachers, three insurance agents, one pharmacist, and eleven undecided as to life work. So as we approach the final day of parting, we look back upon the 'course we have run, as neither discreditable to our predecessors, nor a cause of reproach to ,our successors. 24
