Soyars X-Ray Representative C. L. Brothers .... Skull and Bones Representative R. H. Reitzel Athletic Representative Class History OUR years ago we climbed aboard the good ship M. C. V. and we set our sails to breast the gales to the harbor called M.D. We tried to lay our course aright, and now, the ravages of the four storms past, the harbor is in sight. We started out without a doubt that we would make the grade; each one knew that he ' d come through; each unfearing and unafraid. We had our fights and many- rights, laid flat upon the desk, and morning ' s sun found many a one a sad and hopeless wreck; but back to the wheel, on an even keel we breasted the wind, and laughed in glee to see the sea foam angrily behind. The first year out, we were tossed about, as a ship in deepest fog, but returned the shot, fired there-at and pas:ed by H.L. and Kellogg. Anatomy and Chem- istry make many a good man sore, but with the first year done, most men had won, we ' re now a Sophomore ! As we journeyed on the murky sun grew hotter every day, obscured by clouds like funereal clouds, that never rolled away. This Charlie C. was found to be a friendly privateer who used us rough, made us do our stuff, but passed us with a cheer. The E. C. L. frigate gave us hell and left a few men lame, and one dark day we swore he ' d pay, but we passed him just the same. One day with jo -, we saw a buoy bob just before our prow, and we passed it by with hopeful eye, for boy, we ' re Juniors now ! On, on we fought, though some got caught as high up we climbed in the rigging, for ques- tions rough asked by our old pal Dr. Higgins. By this time we were used to sea and almost bullet-proof, and careened long miles beneath the smiles of the flagship, Vanderhoof. And one bright day as we made our way across the rolling seas, a small, trim craft, with a pennant aft, the Baughman boat, O.B. With a semaphore it showed the shore that shown not far away, and with William ' s aid we anchor weighed in the shade of Senior Bay! We rested there in the warm, bright air that bathes all fourth-year men; but taking stores, we left those shores and journeyed on again. The sky had cleared and straight we steered with aids on every hand; the Willis ' light shining clear and bright on Graduation Land. The Coleman Crew, and Peple, too, were among the ships we spoke, the Porter and the Hutchinson, the Graham and LaRoque. So it has not all been storm and squall, by winds and bullets peppered ; when about to fall there was the Call to lean on — and the Shepherd. So we kept our nerve and didn ' t swerve, we knew that we were winning, helped in the fight by the big Joe White, the Brink ' .ey and the Grinnan. It was men like these that eased the breeze, and eased the bumps and bobbins, the Michaux, Hill, the Price, the Murrell, the Williams and the Robins. And now that trip is finished and we are leaving old M. C. V., and each alone, in a ship of his own, must sail another sea. But if we are brave, we will ride each wave, as we in the past have done, that the God of all, at the last roll call may say, Well done, well done.
