c though perfectly willing to plan all the mischief, never are there to carry it out, simply because they were cowards. And that was the way with those who urged us to tight, As it was, we had a good time and there was no ill-feeling. And what is more, the younger classes have carried it on, until our humble little reception has grown to be almost a banquet. O, did l ever tell you that one of the girls in the class was married that year after school closed? Yes, we were not very much surlgtrised, for we had heard a rumor to that effect earlier in the year. O, by the way, did 1 ever send you a copy of the Truth, that mock Aurora we published that year? My, but we thought that was an achievement! VVe did make money on it, but of course we had an excellent business manager. Really, we were so busy the next year getting out the Aurora that we didn't have time for anything else except one class party out at Miss Abbott's. The year moved along smoothly enough: we were all looking toward Class Day for we expected to see our long-lost pennant again. VVe shed a good many tears when that disappeared, and our greatest fear was that maybe we would not get it again. But we made up our minds to have something that day that would look something like it. Wfe had purchased caps and gowns before commencement, and, by the way, if you ever come to college, don't be so foolish as to think that you must have a cap and gown, Really, we almost smothered during that week,- but to proceed, on Class Day we all came out with long class pennants. VVe were the envy of the college that day. Well, this last year has been so busy that we are glad it is over. Of all the productions we have had to write-but then it is all over now. VVe have had, though, in spite of work, rather a busy social time. Our old classmate in Fostoria began it by inviting us over to her home, and since that time there have been several other functions. lt is nice to be a Senior, in spite of the eternal inviting. And now it is all over, and we will soon have separated forever. -some of us probably never to meet again. How terrible that seems, after these four years we have become very good friends! VVe have had our differences, but all that is over now, and to-night we are thinking only of the pleasant things. Life is before usg we are only just beginning to liveg we have been only boys and girls, and now, in almost a day's time, we are men and women. Class day, banquet, commencement day have passed, the lights are out, the halls are silent, we will never again walk through the corridors as students. And now, here we sit and dream of that life which lies before us. lf we only knew what threads the Fates were spinning for us, but we shall know it by and by. You have watched us through these years,- do not forget us now and give your best wishes to your old friend, THE CLASS OF 1906. C301

Walter Martin Bucher, Scientific, Tiffin, Ohio. Heiclelbere Lite1'a1'y Soeiety, Y. M. G. A., Aurora Htati, President. Htate flratoz-ical Association, Mgr. H. U. Oreliestra-lsaiid. Behold Wziltei' Martin Bucher, the pathologist, one who makes the study of diseases a specialty! l-le is a bluifer of no mean ability, and. his extemporaneous discourses are mag- nificent. ln fact, he can make a bet- ter stab, with no preparation what- soever, than some others, No one doubts his veracity GD. l-le always takes a special interest in the fair sex, and his chivalrous demeanor makes him the universal object of feminine admiration. l-lis many opportunities have prevented him from being tied up, and, considering his present value, we predict for his name a high position on the rolls of fame. Samuel Ankeney, Philosophical, Xenia, Ohio. Exeelsoi' Literary Society, Y. M. O. A. Samuel Ankeney, sport, philisoph- er, bookworm, man tladies'j. Such, in brief, is the range of this remark- able personage. Born and reared in the cornfields of the Miami Valley, endowed with those faculties peculiar to one who has lived near the soil, he was indeed a cause of anxiety to the professors and an immediate source of danger to the fair sex. This latter characteristic has indeed dominated his college career. Believing in equal- ity of distribution and the Well-known maxim that there is safety in num- bers, he wisely and impartially dis- tributes his favors among them all. And although none can complain of this equable method, what of the myriads of withered hopes and broken hearts that he has left in his path? Truly a great responsibility rests upon him. 4.3.23
