Senior Editorial 6 'HE class of '04, having stuffed their gunny sacks to the point of bursting with fruit from the tree of knowledge, are but waiting for their passports-pieces of sheepskin which shall V, Q ' allow them to step boldly forth into the world, there to take . fl G., Qi -I-9 part in the fight for fame and fortune. That the Senior C H? Class is one of various prodigies is shown very easily by their XJs.6Q class yell, which starts out something like this: Au guan guay-catcha loma za. XVe will spare you the rest of this charming ditty, for it is very affecting, and consequently must be ladled out in small closes. One member of the class sat up all one night trying to master that yell. The next day he packed his trunk for home. He told the boys that he felt all knocked out, that there was a buzzing in his head that he couldn't account for and that he had decided to take a short vacation. Four years in an atmosphere of learning has made a great change in your class. As we look back at the time when you, as Sophomores, were thirsting for the blood of Freshmen, we cannot but feel that the change has been for the better. At that time we could see nothing but your bad points, so effectu- ally did you disguise your good qualities. But as we have grown to know you better, the faults we credited you with have faded away and in their stead appear many virtues. As you stand here on the eve of your departure we who remain wish you God-speed. The world needs today more than ever the strong men, the well equipped men, to carry on the struggle. You of the class of ,O4 are well equipped and we know that you do not lack the courage to grapple with the difficulties you may be forced to meet. Wie are thankful for the friend- ship we have had together-we shall think of you often and our heartiest wishes for the highest success in life will go with you. 30
