THE Foxes Tak. I 9 and every member has felt and still feels that without either the true spirit would be lost. Dating its existence from the College's beginning, prospering as the College prospered, sorrowing as the College suffered, linked indissolu- bly with every movement which should make the name of Lake Forest re- spected and admired, it has a proud record which each one feels he must personally sustain, and a record which shows the key note of its history - Progress. THE NERVOUS HAN AND THE MAN OF NERVE. The Athenzean Society has always taken a leading position in local dramatic circles. Many instances could be noted, but of late years per- haps the best exclusively society play was given March 17, 1893, when The Nervous Man and the Man of Nerve, together with a minstrel show, was presented at the Durand Art Institute. The minstrel show was superintended by Mr. N. D. Pratt. Right here let us pay a tribute to Mr. Pratt for both the Athenzean Society and the entire College owe to him a debt of deep gratitude, for his valuable assistance has carried to success many an entertainment, and his interest has ever been strong and unliagging. In her alumni, too, the Athenzean Society possesses a patriotic band whose loyalty never swerves and whose talent may yet be found enlisted under the old banner in times of need. The annual reunion in November gives an opportunity to renew old friendships and to relate, with a patron- izing air, their exploits to the younger generation. And when to each of us comes at last the sad moment when we must sever our active connection with our beloved Society, and when we ascend, perhaps for the last time, the well-worn stairs and stand where we oft have stood, and our eye once more wanders around the old Hall which is hal- lowed by the remembrances of our happiest hours, and it falls upon the platform and the august President's chair in which some of us have sat, gavel in hand, then we feel that our time has not been wholly lost, and, as we pass slowly out, we close the heavy oak door behind us, and the Old Athenzean has faded from our eyes but from our hearts-never. C. 0. Paiusn, '95.
