were called Seniors, and a great multitude of under graduates came unto them ; and seeing the multitude they went out onto the mound, and they were com- passed about with those seeking knowledge. And when they were set the class of 100S opened their mouths and taught them, saying: Hear, O ye Preps, the instruc- tion of the class of 1908 and profit thereby. For now you are Preps you must speak as Preps, think as Preps, and understand as Preps ; but when you grow into Sen- iors you may put away prepish things. For verily I say unto you, it is written that you must pony or flunk, and the greatest of these is flunk. Happy is the Fresh man when he walketh not in the counsel of the Junior. His ideal is in the Senior. For whatsoever we Seniors do is approved by the Faculty. Verily, the Faculty see our worth. And it also came to pass in the fourth day that a voice as of one crying in the wilderness spake unto the Senior class and the voice said, ' v Lo, all things that have came to pass in the Normal are fading away and perishing from the memories and traditions of our peo- ple. Wherefore I command that ye bear witness of your illustrious deeds, that all may know them. And the Senior Class hath made a record of their own deeds and of the deeds of all the school. And they have called this record The Mound. And now therefore when the Faculty had seen all these works of the class of 1008 they saw that it was good. And they said, Happy art thou, O Seniors! O Class of 100S ! And at the close of this the fourth day the class of 1908 Avas graduated and the Faculty rested.
