All who were not suffering from overworked systems at once applied themselves to diligent study. VVhen the examinations were over we were glad to find how many'had passed. From the Intermediate Examinations to the end there was nothing of interest in our history to relate. With the opening of spring, baseball and track-team practice began,and once more the gallant men of the Third Class don their suits and go forth upon the athletic Held. Among the old players who have resumed practice are E. VVoodson and H. S. Gay, both members of last year's team, and E. B. Ris- don, substitute. Among the new men trying for the team are E. E. Risdon, XV. B. Blakey and C. C. Doom. The Third Class has the honor of having two applicants for the track team, namely, W. A. Campbell and T. T. Kent. Our Class takes an active part not only in athletics, but also in the work of the literary societies, most of its members belonging to one or the other of these organizations. Wliile our Class has not distinguished itself in literary attainments, still there are some poets among our number who may yet become famous. In a few years the Class of 1907 will have gone out into the world and will be widely scattered. Wherever we may be the happy memories of Miller days will still abide with us. T. TEMPLE TQENT. .
