SENIOR DAY Of nil tlto days of this wonderful year, The Ides of Marrh was hy far most dear: Twenty-four girls in Green and White, With the Orange and Mine made a pretty sight; Aiul eight Senior lioys with green neekties. Wore the Orange and Blue its you may surmise, Making the tirst view of the kind this year. And no other scene could lie half so dear. This is not all of this wonderful day. At eight in the evening came the roundelay; Songs and dances and private ehnts. Games and “eats and all like that: Decoration and shamrocks, and numerous mints. Green and White iee cream are only hints; For too numerous arc the joys of that day To permit of detail, just let me say. Many remarks and glances passed. As the Seniors went from class to class; Kven the teachers did not disregard The harmonious effects of the Senior placard; Some granted privileges to the Class of IS. Others made holiday to honor the scene. Four hours were passed this Intppy way. By the Senior Class on its Senior Day. The girls and boys this life enjoyed While painting fond memories which will ne'er lie destroyed; For the joy in their hearts can not la expressed. Ami its lasting value can only lie guessed. You will never know just what did Unless you were in that ‘IS Class; But all tilings must end, so the poets say. And at last came the end of this wonderful way. But one great hour was yet to conic. That wonderful hour from twelve to one. On the eha|M'l stage the class did march Oil this long remembered Mi's of March. Songs were sung and dances danced. Stories were told and a leeture advance ]; The hour was a joy to be held most dear. But. alas! the photographer did not appear. At eleven o'clock good-nights were said. And then came the thoughts of off to lied. The girls from town, and the hoys of the clam Sought their homes with happy laughs; But when the Dorm girls to their rooms had departed. The havoc wrought there made some broken-hearted. But no one was hurt, no one deeply grieved. And all is now well, it is believed. Ct.vm: f . I.Ksrt’.K, 'Is. 2S Cl.YOK I . I.RSTRR, IS.

Senior Secondary Class History and Officers OwiCHB: President...............................................Maurice Foote Vice-President..............................Cii.uncky Wright Secretary-Treasurer......................................Wii.ma Diriii. m X these day’s of making the world safe for and against the different “ocracica’’ and “isms,'' it seems trivial to write alxHit so painfully peaceful a thing as a Senior Class. Hut possibly with so much splendid material this history can he made to stand out from the everlasting succession of class histories which mar the |»agcs of a year Itook. I am not going to make von take m.v word for the perfection and excellence of this class, hut I'm going to give you the opinions of the great and near-great of Marshall College. l)r. llaworth. Marshall's excellent and far-famed literature instructor, says: “The boys with all their noise and all their joys yet have poise. The girls, ran pearls, with worlds of curls are fit for Karls. They’ve made quite a rep, hy the pep in their step: One must keep hep with the Seniors. Remark: “Doc may not Ik- a | oet hut he sure knows how to throw it. Mr. Wylie, Marshall's well known instructor in physics, scientifically remarks of the girls: They an gay As a ray Of sunshine in May, Oh Mr. Wylie! Of the boys: Their heads contain not a cavity They know spiviflc gravity They can weigh All the day So to say lint the very hardest part Is that the teachers have had to start To stay up nights Preparing for the next day. Miss Johnson, after paying tribute to the various ami many virtues of the class, adds that there were three things she knew the seniors could do: decline “anio: conjugate “Stellaand speak in the auditorium so they could be heard. Miss Hackney mathematically descril cd the symmetrical and geometrical charms of this class ami arrived at the algebraic conclusion that we would do. Others extended favorable criticism, but let it suffice to say that Mr. Franklin argued logically on the merits of the class for an hour. This ought to prove al solutely that this class has never had a rival in Marshall.
