.n! we to do to-day. be late. :ouches of sweet ies. I 908 E are a class peculiar to the Institution of which we are members. A large percentage of us have ac- quired our learning as opportunity afforded, allowing years to lapse between the beginning and completion of our courses. A few have been students of the Ferris Institute for two consecutive years, more have been in attendance but one year, and a large number for a shorter time. Many who were members of the class during the first half of the year have completed their course and gone out to apply their knowledge, leaving their places to be filled by those entering later. This constant change and short acquaintanceship would naturally make the students disinterested in school and class affairs, but such is not the case. In spite of the disadvantages of brief acquaintance and interrupted associa- tions the College Preparatory Seniors show a loyalty and a mutual friendship unexcelled by that of any other class in the school. Strange to say, the Senior Girls are greatly in the minority. If they were gold, they would represent a ratio similar to Colonel Bryan's monetary-16 to 1. But what they lack in numbers they account for in loyalty to their class and 'fFellow', classmates. Not one of them would allow a gentleman of the class to feel lonely or neglected. At one of the class festivals these heroines turned out en masse and so artfully did the fifteen entertain the thirty- eight young men that each gentleman thought himself the sole object of adoration. VVh'en the Y. W. C. A. gave their famous Leap-Year party, it was a delegation of these Senior Girls that wended its way, stealthily, under cover of the shades of evening-and the barns along the alley- and transported numbers of young men through an artfully designed Underground Railroadi' to the place of enter- tainment, so that a scarcity of ladies might not deprive the gentlemen of an enjoyable evening. The Senior Boys, though numerous, are neither in- active nor negligent of the cares and duties thrust upon them. Many of the more loquacious are accustomed to leave the confines of their abodes during the Sunday re- cesses, and, traveling to nearby towns, ascend the pulpits of the little village sanctuaries, and, with the airs of con- nosseurs, impart to breathless audiences theological truths far in advance of their age. VVhen a call for volunteers to defend the Ferris Institute gridiron was heralded through our institution, the Senior Boys came to the front. Those who lacked the necessary avoirdupois were found on the side lines shouting for victory or guarding the defenseless ladies from the dangers of the surging crowd or the misdirected football. It was a delegation of these SeniorlBoys that repre- sented the Y. M. C. A. at our state convention, and so faithfully did they execute the duties delegated to them that their association did not demur in paying the floral and confection bills incurred while there. Witli the class composed of students so nearly a unit on all
