zo THE FORESTER duster. If we wanted our clothes washed or our shoes shined, which was seldom, for few grains of dust ever settled upon us, we would find some one of these accommodating Freshmen who would be willing to wear them, and then in the course of the day let someone throw him in the gym pond. Thus our clothes would be washed and our shoes shined at the same time. This method we found to work exceptionally well, because the water was kept continually fresh and the little shiners found no dif'Hculty in inhabiting it. As a class we have presented an illustration, rarely equaled, of the possibilities and blessings flowing from human association. Among us there has always existed unsur- passed harmony and pfasfifify GJ. In our class meetings, for example, although no one would doubt at times but that Love had taken wings, there has never arisen a difference of opinion. Our college course has been a happy one. And now they tell us that the honor, the pride and the joy of graduation are upon us. We recognize it and appreciate it, but in quiet moments something whispers discordantly in our ears that we are soon to separate and leave this beautiful spot, this maternal idol in whose lap we have lain for four long years, yet short years in retro- spect, poured out almost unreservedly our sorrows and our pleasures. In these moments a feeling of cruel desertion and loneliness creeps over us and we answer back in testimony of Burns, insight into human nature, C' Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure thrill the deepest notes of woe.', -G.

HISTORY OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TWO C L A S S Y E L L Rah, Rah! Rah, Rah! Rah, Rah! Rah, Roo! Rah, for the Class of Nouglity-two! CLASS COLORS Antwerp Blue and Yellow E call us chief and ye do well to call them chief who for four long years have conquered every opponent who has dared to stand against them on the gory Field of battle, blulfed every member of the Faculty, secured their election credits, and other- wise crowned themselves with halos of glory. With the battle cry, f' We '02 do or die, We have marched right into the face of Profi Dawson-if has not yet recoveredfrom it- and victory perched upon our bafffe axe. We met the marshalled and disciplined forces of Prof Burnap's wit with the result that they were completely dissipated. So fierce was the struggle that a number of our own members succumbed to a similar fate. During the last four years we have won every class combat and every athletic meet in which we have been represented. Here we should make special men'tion of our basketball team, for where our boys have won contests and medals galore, our basketball team has gone right to the heart of the matter and the scarred victors themselves have been obliged to surrender. ln our triumphant march to the seat of omnipotence we have received much valuable assistance from outside sources. We wish to mention here that We are especially indebted to the present Junior Class. This Junior Class is without doubt the busiest class in college, and they have always exhibited the benevolent disposition of tending to our business for us whenever we would permit them to do so. In fact, they have tended to everyone's business, excepting their own, ever since they have been here. They are so accommodating, those Juniors! When we were Sophomores, memory recalls that, if at any time we desired to clean our rooms, there was always some kind Freshman around who would serve as an excellent
