History of the Post-Graduate Class O me has been given the honor of recording the achievements of the Post- Graduate Class of IQO5. In the years gone by we fought many hard battles 3 burying ourselves for a time in chemistry experiments, the theories of physics, and the deep prob- lems of trigonometry. Wfhen we received that much-coveted prize-the sheep- skin - we realized that graduation was not the goal of all efforts, but rather that it should serve as a stimulus to higher and nobler purposes. Time works many changes, and nowhere is this more evident than in our Class. XVe have now a membership of only five, the others who have in previous years struggled with us having gone out into the world to their various callings. The president of our Class, Dan Wfoodson, fulfils Emerson's idea of a scholar, bringer of hope. Ambitious for his Class, he has guided us wisely. An ex- cellent captain he has made for our football team, and on the diamond none can surpass him. Landon Painter is our Class prodigy. I-Ie has never known the sorrow of a not passedf' In everything he excels, and in regard to his brilliancy one of his young lady friends has said, Even Socrates would have blushed in the presence of the unrivalled learning of this brilliant scholar. In chemistry, Elliott Vawter is making himself famous. It is hard to tell whether he will become a great chemist or an astronomer. He is at present teach- ing a class of boys how far the sun is from the earth. Charlie Sours is one of our number who is suffering from Cupid's Works. Although he is now suffering from a severe attack of heart disease, he may re- cover and become a great electrician. Mabelle Booth is the last of our number who is suffering from Cupid's works. She has not yet decided what she will become, if she recovers. In the very near future we shall leave here and enter that more serious strug- gle in the great wide world. As faithful children of our Alma Mater, let us be true to the ideals she has placed before us, and let us go forth with the fixed resolution to do our best in fulfilling the mission so beautifully expressed by Ruskin: Education is leading human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them. The training that makes men happiest in themselves, also makes them most serviceable to othersf, EI.-XBELLE E. Boorn. 55 Y,
