NISTORY is not, properly speaking, a compilation of facts, but ? the growth of ideas, so, in writing the history of the present Senior Class, we depart from the old beaten path, and would I move on, as the world progresses. A . ' To be sure, we came here four years ago, organized as a Class, gave a Freshman Excursion that has never been beaten, and have had parties galore. We are proud of our Class standing, for we have the bravest boys and thellinest girls in college 5 we will ,soon graduate inyfaps and gowns 5 and, in short, ours is an ideal Class. But, since tlffis is what every class thinks of itself, in order to be different from the common herd, and also to show the growth of ideas, in our past four years, I copy, verbatim, two conversations of the class at its meet- ings, the first, held during its Freshman yearg the last, a discussion which occurred notulong since, in the class room, ,in Dr. ,Fisher's absence. '- FIRST CONVERSATION. 13.- When does a goose stand on one foot? W.- When it's in water. B.- You are wrong. Give it up? Class Chorus- Yes, yes! ' B.- When it holds the other one up.
