The stage upon which we have played is a beautiful one-one that will long remain fixed in our memory and be dear to our hearts. Long shall we remember the green circle, the terraced houses, the ivy-covered walls of Memorial, where our ivy will soon be, and the handsome chapel, the pride of every Laurentian. Nor can we forget the wings of the stage-the old-fashioned, rambling village, the Hjigger shop and Ort's, the Helds where we have so often cheered for the dear old school, with the pond sparkling in the sunlight-all these places are printed on our minds and enshrined in our hearts. Side by side, shoulder to shoulder, we have stood together through the scenes 16

and shiftings of the changing school life. From time to time we have been reinforced by recruits, some from '98, many from the outside world. Others, too, have left us to seek new fields and conquests in 1900, or have returned to the world whence they came. Through all this we have learned to be loyal and true to the class whose colors we wear so proudly, for her we have striven, that we might bring her honor and glory, until now we know that the name of old ,QQ will ever be famous while one of us shall live. But the curtain is about to fall on our work here, 'and soon our parts will be taken by others who succeed us. Then, before our life here is ended, let us once more go over it together, as we have so often done before, and recall the old scenes which are so dear to us.

It was not till we became Second Formers, when we cast off the hated title of I' fresh, when our ranks swelled until ours was the largest class in Lawrenceville, that we became an important factor in school life. It was then that we numbered among our classmates such athletes as Dane Kafer, Prince Wfillien Yard, Bill Moorhead, and others far too numerous to mention. The Study Room was ours, and we owned it in royal style, much to the dis- comhture of the masters in charge. There, too, we whiled away long winter afternoons in the indoor exercise under Senator Durbin, long since departed. IS
