century this man was tl1e most conspicuous figure i11 .'X1llCi1'iC2l.l1 politics, tl1e 111ost inHuen- tial statesman i11 the councils of tl1e 11ation. The great 1112111 111issed tl1e Presidency, but he did 11ot miss tl1e love of a Whole 11ation. Ti111e permits 111e to me11tio11 but o11e more, tl1e best known to us all, a11d perhaps the best loved because l1e is ours, is with us to-day, President Roosevelt. His alertness of mind, courage. capacity for l1ard work, his XV2l'CCl1fllll1CSS over tl1e people Elllil their inter- ests have stirred i11 every American citizen their good will toward tl1is 111a11. Tl1e career of no states111an has bee11 n1ore brilliant and successful tl1at his, a11d what great work tl1e future l1as i11 store for him we cannot tell. To-day l1e stands before us, a true type of fX1Tl6l'lC2l1'1lS111, a model, an example to every you11g man. Can we 11ot draw somethi11g from tl1e lives of every 0116 of tl1ese, our famous states- 111611, which shall make us 111ore worthy to be called citizens of tl1is free a11d liberty-loving land? Tl1ese 111en are rare in tl1e public life of a11y 11atio11, and when We depart from the principles wl1icl1 tl1ey believed 3.1'1Cl practiced, we may well tremble for tl1e permanence of our government, for, as Lowell said, this will endure o11ly so long as tl1e ideas of tl1e found- ers remain predo111inant. The lives of those 111611 wl1o by their acl1ieve111e11ts and statesmanship succeeded in setti11g tl1is republic on its feet, and laying securely tl1e fO1.l1'lCl2l,lIlO11S 1113011 which has been built the greatest, freest and strongest nation of which the historyhof 1'1'13.1'1lil11Cl furnishes any record, should be a constant inspiration to every true American to-night, 2I1'1Cl teacl1 that life with some definite and noble purpose is worth livi11g.

CLASS POEM I. Under these glorious colors three, The red, the black, and blue, The class of oughty-six you see, You've just heard how it grew, Till now it stands a noble band Of loyal men and true. II. So first behold our brave Joe Brown, Our honored President, A famous quarter-back was he, But oh, the days he spent Riding his pony through Virgil, On a good mark intent. III. And next we look o-n Roland Lea, A full-back, brave and bold, When Trixie pounds the running track, There's naught but dust, I'm told, But when he's dressed in fussing clothes, Hels glorious to behold. IV. Harkl listen to the 1nand'lin strings For Keefer draweth near, The Secretary of our class, He's overworked, I fear, He tried to pawn his smile one day, 'TWouldn't come off, I hear. V. And Sheb, a. loyal friend is he, With brawn and brain together, Fui, but Hook can play Half-back in any weather, And honors thick and fast are his, His genius none can smother. VI. Reporter Egg we now shall view, But through a microscope, For Cookie is a being small, And yet it is his hope Some day to edit the sporting news, Or write great ads for soap!
