History ’98. HE History of the Class of Ninety-Eight is brief as yet, though by no means uneventful. If glory means victory alone, our escut- cheon is not undimmed ; but if glory means doing one’s best under the most adverse circumstances, then is our history glorious indeed. Greatly overmatched in weight and numbers we were defeated by our lumbering adversary in the class contests which we entered. But defeat in this case was not dishonorable; whereas, had Ninety-Seven succumbed to our force, her disgrace would have been well-nigh irretrievable.

Ninety-Eight was the undisputed victor, and we bore from the tight to the green hills which surround Geneva, one frightened Sophomore as our booty. We were represented on the foot ball team during the late campaign by more men and stronger than was any other class. Our prospects for the base nail team are also very bright. Our class banquet has not yet taken place, but all things point to a pleasant and peaceful celebration. It is only just to say. finally, that Ninety-Eight is no laggard in the recitation room. Lachesis, in her fatal weaving, has already taken some of our best-loved classmates from among us. We miss them sadly, both in the class-room and on the campus: but our best wishes go out to them for success “ in the wide, wide world 11 for which they have left us so soon. And here, regretfully, the Historian must lay down his pen. ‘9
