Q9 ' S WE near the close of this our last year in college, our thoughts in- voluntarily vvander back to the days when we first began to perform the duties connected with student life in Hiram. No class has ever been more gay nor enjoyed more festal gatherings than we of '99 before entering upon the regular college work. Cf the friends who were dear to us in those days, two have been sum-A moned to a higher service than any this earth could provide. We mourn very deeply our loss, for We felt the impress of their lives and our ideals were raised for having come in touch with them. During our Freshman and Sophomore years, We .Were alive to all that was going on about us, enthusiastic in whatever We undertook, and loyal to the best interests of '99. When We entered upon our junior year We became aware of the fact that college life, after all, includes more than the faithful discharge of society duties and a mastery of text books, for the tasks of our outside Work came then heavier and more numerous than the Warnings of preceding classes and our own observations of their toilings had led us to expect. Chapel orations had to be given early in the fall termg then fol- lowed the publishing of the Spider VVebg making out the program and fur- nishing speakers for Decoration Day was next in order, and finally We per- formed our last honors to the class of '98.

It was with a sigh of relief that we began our Senior year, glad that our hardest, busiest days were over, yet feeling that we would never have been satisfied to have completed our college course without having had these experiences connected with the junior year. We have had several gatherings during the past few months, which have served to strengthen the bonds of discord. Our class meetings are spicy and strong. Not a moment goes to waste, several having the floor at the same time. The forcible eloquence of some has even brought the girls to tears. The interest never lags and we are constantly kept wondering what in the name of Holy St. Patrick is going to happen next. It is true we are the laughing stock of the whole school, but we cannot afford to 'sacrince our factional schemes merely for the sake of reputation. We would express many thanks to Prof. and Mrs. Wakefield for their kind interest in our few worthy undertakings, and we know their lives ought to urge us on to higher and nobler achievements as we enter upon the broader field of action.

as V-' is .af - , It was with a sigh of relief that we began our Senior career, glad that our hardest, busiest days were over, yet feeling that we would never have been satisfied to have completed' our college work without having had these experiences connected with the junior year. 1 We have had several pleasant gatherings during the past few months, which have served to strengthen the bonds of friendship. . From our preparatory days up to the present time, amid all our trials and perplexities, in every joyous and happy season, we have found in Prof. Wakefield, our class professor, a wise counselor and hearty sympathizer-in every way, a true friend. We would express many thanks to Prof. and Mrs. Wakefield for their kind interest in all our undertakings and we know the inspiration of their lives will urge us on to higher and nobler achievements as we enter upon the broader field of action. We have become greatly attached to this classic Hill. Here have been the homes of all for several years, and we are sorry to take leave of its famil- far scenes and to bid farewell to its cherished friends. But though the faces will pass from our sight the memories of these friendships and pleasant associations which this Hiram life has afforded will linger with us and serve to brighten every daik and cloudy day in the after times Historian Zo 1 J L V t .
