VII The next three months went quietly, We got our credits dear, A-nd with a rush we entered on Qur last-our Senior year. Next winter one Charles Gerlinger As President did bow, And many times we met to plan The when, the why, the how. VIII This year we had some parties gay, At Art's house, Hallowe'en, The soul-mate of young Lewis Hughes, That fated night, was seen.. Then later under Pauline's roof A couple lithe and fair-Lucille and Hat -- Entranced us with a dance-divine and fair. IX Irving, VVinnie and Dierie made us laugh until we criedg But first we had a mock wedding VVith Efhe blushing bride. The other stunts that evening Were rivals for the best Of Grpheum performances Or wiles of VVoolly VVestf' X And now our History's ended. In many lands welll dwell, But where we are, we'll think of Mac. Who treated us so well. And we'll come back to her again, No matter where we go, And do our best for her sake, just Because we love her so. A Word From 1904 OW' does our class rank as to occupation and attainments? In worldly goods none of us is notable. There were eleven of us at graduationrigone has died, leaving ten. Of these, two girls have the degree of H. VV. QHiousewifej. Qf the eight left, one is a teacher in high school, one a university teacher with degree of Ph. D., one a teacher with a divinity degree, three min- isters and two physicians. Not a bad showing for a class so small as ours, is it? It seems but a short time ago that we were still students, busy with our various parts in the college life. Certainly it does not seem to me true that it is now fourteen years since I was a college Senior and I am sure we do not feel that much older, and it is only by the feeling of strangeness among the present college generation that we can be convinced that we are indeed old timers. But tho long out of college, we are still interested in the welfare of our Alma Mater, we wish her well and hope all good things for her. As we have opportunity, we shall be glad to return, to meet the old friends, to make new friends and to lend all possible support and encouragement to those in charge. And to Dr. Bess, the new President, we extend cordial greetings and hearty good wishes for the best success in his new work with and for the students and alimmi of Macalester College. Dr. Thomas I-I. Dickson, Ir. Mac 1904. 28

Class History of '17 Ethel McClure. I Ho! friends and fellow-students, And hark to what we sayg The Seniors ride in all their pride In grand review today. Unto the worthy Seniors VVe sing this little lay. When we began our brave career T'was on our Flag Rush Day. II Relic of all barbariandum! 'Twas on the campus green. Now, on the place where war was waged, Our new Hag pole is seen. That was a bloody battle, Oh, how the hairpins flew! The Sophs were gaining in the Fight. Wfe knew not what to do. III ' Then up spake Howard McNiven CThey thot 'twas just a jestj, That pole I'll climb to the very top, And there our flag shall rest. Up went our jaunty hero And none could say him nay. He climbed right on amid our shouts. IfVe beat the Sophs that day! IV That year our Freshman President VVas Zeis with auburn hair. We'll ne'er forget our iirst meeting And all the worthies there. Swan with Rules of Order, Diere who watched the door, Wylie with 'fMr. President, May I please take the floor F V Our next year went off full of pep, For VVylie was, you see, Our Prepay wise, who saw that all Was as it ought to be. , In Bucka's Hall our party was, Wliicli made some look askance, For we were told to come as books, VVhile some came for a dance! VI Right glad were all our classmates, who, In their Junior year, VVere asked to our first party, gay, At Carlton Ralph's quite near. There learned we many secrets strange From bottles' reckless whirl, From 'KWho here will be married tirstu To 'fWho'll be bachelor girl. 27
