She looks back over a series of triumphs and defeats, the difficulties surmounted, the changes wrought in her midst during the short period since first she tread these classic lialls of ‘ ‘ Old Hobart, ” and with childish ignorance greeted with respect that being worthy of all honor and distinction, the “ Omnipotent Sophomore.” But why should we enumerate our victories and defeats?
