Some good people have wondered just what kind of a croaker this newest one—this ’06 Croaker—was going to he. For obvious reasons they have not learned much. Hut now we are free to say that he is as jolly as that young croaker that was only a short time ago a wiggling pollywog; and he is as wise as the big bullfrog that talks like the K string of a bass viol. If you don’t like him in the one mood try the other. Do not judge his croaks by the voice of a Patti nor his literary efforts by those of a Milton. If he were so disposed, he could no more duplicate their feats, than they could duplicate his. We trust that you will be in a mood as uncritical as when you last stood on the bridge down by the pond and let the moon and the croakers persuade you that the world was yours—or soon would be. No apologies are to be made for this Croaker. It goes as the herald of '06. We could do better another time, which we would really like to do, partly because we have enjoyed it and partly because we could do it better. We have worked hard— just how hard we had better not tell for we might be Juniors next year if the faculty knew. We have encountered all sorts and conditions of encouragement. Seniors wagged their hoary heads and asked us if we knew what we were up against. Sophomores opened their eyes wide with wonder; Freshmen did not comprehend it at all. We wrote the late committee on Alumni record” for a “Reminiscence” and he sent us one of those alumnus’ examination papers to show how bus) he was and said he was sorry we were “too late for the '05 edition of the record.” We were at a loss to know just what he meant by that: whether a class with so much nerve was entitled to a place in the record, or whether, if we were alumni we would not be Juniors asking for “Reminiscences” and thereby stirring a guilty conscience for pranks done in Junior days, perhaps. Who knows? Hut we are keeping ( ?) you from things which may concern you more personally, so we bid you look further and sec how popular you are with ’06. Pntjf ISJ

GREETING (Taken from Volume One of Tub Croaker, showing the unique origin of the name for the new yearbook.) There arc croakers and croakers. We, being Juniors, and having bad logic (some of us), can prove it if necessary. But don’t look for logic in what is to follow. '1'here are croakers we all like and croakers that none of us like; and there are all shades and variations between the extremes. You who have taken that memorable “Morning Bike Ride” will remember well the voices of the ‘‘frogs of all dimensions.” Wasn’t there something there to suit your fancy? Or, better yet, you Freshmen, take your best girl, and you alumnus, take “that old sweetheart of yours down to Cole’s pond on some moonlit evening during Commencement week (we haven’t looked in the almanac to see if there will be a moon then). Then while you arc looking at the reflection of the moon in the water and feeling good toward the world in general and yourself in particular, pause a moment and see if the situation would be complete without the chorus of croakers. The are of all kinds and conditions with voices to suit. Every one of them, from the youngster who has just been promoted from tad-poledom to the giant bullfrog, is essential and helps to lend enchantment to the situation. But there are croakers which do not have webbed feet—we mean the “old croaker.” It were better that a Junior Oration were hanged about our neck and we were cast into the depths of a frog pond than that we be related to, or like him.
