and good-byes, and then a last cheer for old l98, and a parting forever, which vve can't bear to think of. But since it is inevitable, may these next few Weeks be the longest in our lives. And We are certain, at least, that when june shall have come and gone, and we stand for the last time upon the esplanade, shaking hands with one another, We shall do so with the conviction that We have run our course Well, and that ninety-eight has been an honor to herself and to the school. And When We have left Lawrenceville behind, and are scattered far and Wide in the various colleges of the country, When we shall have been graduated from college, and have embarked upon the tumultuous and billowy sea of Life-nay, even when the changing play of fortune has mingled silver with our locks, may we still cherish, in the deepest and dearest corner of our heart the happy memories of our school days, and imay, then as now, the fervent prayer rise to our lips, God bless old ninetyfeightf' lf tfilst 3 ?-f2',',ffn . if ' 512' Y' .f ffffw-S1-if ,Q '.f' 'tim f 'i:1 3s:',,.,4l 'Xlgfff jfs 2'Dg,,.

Another deed by which ,98 gained distinction for herself, was in heroically saving the Woodhull House from being burnt to the ground one Sunday last March. It happened this way. About seven olclock in the evening the cry of fire I H was heard, and great volumes of black smoke were seen to be pouring from the upper windows of the house in question. As we rushed across the campus with a ladder and two hose carts, we saw the terrified inmates throwing feather beds and crockery from the windows at a fearful rate. Convinced by this demonstration that the conilagration must indeed be a terrible one, we quickly attached the hose to a hydrant, prepared to deluge the building. In spite of our haste however the fire was out by the time we were ready for Work. But judging that we had best give the house a good soaking to guard against any further outbreak of the conliagration, the nozzle of the hose was given to jerk, whoe soily skin rendered him impervious to wetting, and he squirted a liberal allowance of muddy water into all the open windows, not forgetting the crowd about him. Thus we have busied ourselves throughout the year. There have been many among us whom time and space have prevented my mentioning-not a few of them central Hgures. There is Lucius Cataline', Cass. Oh Cataline, how long, pray, will you continue to abuse Monk's patience? What pie has there ever been of which thou hast not been the bottom? What theft of the pantry in which thou wert not concerned? What conilagration was there at the house track games to which that head of yours did not contribute? I fear you are a helpless case. 1 I Then there is Willie Goozlum who asked one night in his I A ' I sleep whether or not Lincoln was dead, and Little Man Sterrett, , a prominent member of the Runt Club and captain of the famous Creams. ' i Above all I must not forget to speak of Casey I' who left school to get married, and eventually took his wife to Costa Rica, where he is now overseeing the construction of an electric road. , Well, well, it's the end of the year now, and all this is over. The next thing that we shall have to record will be commencement with mothers and fathers and sisters here, and speeches, and diplomas, W Xen ! I 23
