Ilrjii t)J tin St nrff. (Editorial of 76. 1 : =•. rfi S is generally known. '70 lias reached t hat eventful stage of its class existence, Sophomore year. Soon will its class action during this • year he a thing of the past, the material for college traditions; it will show of what ‘■‘stuff’ '70 is made, and will fully establish its class character. Wo indulge in the hope that we shall not be found at all in- ferior to our predecessors in our career as k Sophs ’ judged with refer- ence either to the work of the class-room or the daily intercourse of student life. On our return to these classic, perhaps, hut certainly battered and ghost- haunted halls, we find not only our own position hut that of our fellow- students greatly changed. The new-comers have been welcomed by us with rather less than the customary ardor of Sophomore courtesy. What has occurred is acknowledged by i he class in ijuestion to have been sought by themselves, and is not likely to mar the unity of college feeling during the years to come. Tn re commencing our college tasks we have discovered to our sorrow how true is the common saying as to the difficulty of our part in the col- lege curriculum. Still with regard to the severer position of this term's work, we can already say 14 wm w.’’ and when at the close of the. year we look back upon the ground passed over by us it will doubtless all seem light. One of our number has left us, and there is none to till his place. Whe- ther received hy the arms of another Alma Mater, or seeking his fortune in business life, be is followed by the best wishes of his classmates of '7G. Having thus briefly recounted our doings as a class since we emerged from the crvsalis state, of Freshman year, it remains but to assure the hon- ored friends of Hobart that the class is still alive and 41 flourishing liken green bay tree,” and so to bid farewell until the lapse of another year enables us to greet our friends, us ourselves, the editors of this time-honor- ed Annual.
