THE LAPVRENCEVILLE OLLA PODRIDA I fwho belongs to the Latin Trust, not through his abilityl and Hughes would hand any paper in. Bassett fooled 'em, though, and handed one in with all kinds of Latin on it. Hughes made friends with Schenck, who generally has a version of his own, and made a big hit. Our Class is original for two things: First, that the whole Class without an exception stands together in everything, and is not split by any cliquesg this is something that few classes can boast of. Second, that it contains no red-heads. Saunders and Legg are the nearest and there was such rivalry between them that Saunders fwho wets his ears when he smilesl was forced to withdraw. So, it is with sorrow that we think of leaving Lawrenceville, for this has been a great year for most of us. We still have college to look forward to, but when we are there we will always look back on Lawrence- ville as being perfection, as a preparatory school. Next year the Class of '07 will be no more, but will be known as the Class of 1911, and at Princeton the headquarters will be at I5 University Place, where there will be a welcome to all Laurentians at any time. Never before have I understood the real feelings of a fellow about to leave school or college for ever. And my fond hope is that the friendships we have started here may never die. ! -N. BASSETT, Historian. 24

At the Prom. one girl spent a whole dance trying to make Tessie Campbell say, Bah Jovef' Max Hughes fwho delivered that famous speech saying that we could call him Irish, but we couldn't insult the Irish immigrants, and then daring the whole smoking room to call him a name, had great trouble finding T. Wisner's girl. He found J. Wisner twice and then gave up. Willcox did a standing two-step on a chaperon's train. There was a report that someone smoked a cigarette there. Following the dance, a big tea was given in 25 Upper. c The famous HP. C.

Then the UHamillites and Legg's Hlnvinci- bles, who never lost but one game because they only played one. Mr. Maroney was the Faculty,s biggest point getter. Jim Coffee and Harry Fulton were their cheering section. Between the halves of our games the Varsity generally defeated some outside team. One morning Dwight had a shock at the breakfast table when he ate a grape fruit. He tasted some liquid in the center, looked up quickly with an expression of pleasant discovery and said: HGee! funny-good! and made a grab for Thompson's. Now the snow is all gone, to the joy of everyone, especially Payne, and the baseball candidates are having their first outdoor practice. Kraut- hoff and Craven went out for the team, but it was nothing serious. They say Craven will make the marble team. Now Douglas and Goodhue are over the mumps. When Goodhue fwho, with Chisolm and Gosnell, pretty well regulates the Fifth Form Latin comp.D went to the hospital, there was big money up whether Bassett 23
