Secretary-Treasurer 41--at The Senior Class History Some people find it necessary to blow, and to manufacture all kinds of hot air yarns about their imaginary charms,- powers, et cetera, in order to fill up a page or two in the year-book with a class history. Concerning the Seniors of '08 only plain facts will be stated. ln the first place we have our own hot air reservoir very skillfully manipulated by the right honorable G. M. G., who you will agree is very well versed in the art of dispensing it when necessary. Well the very first day we set foot on the campus and proceeded to meander up the long walk to the west entrance, four years ago, things at lVl. V. C. were different and something has been stirring ever since. Yea, verily the first year was not according to the old regime. These young Klearchuses, loans of Arc, Gibsons, Pattis, Darwins, Eliots, Spinozas and Sampsons were not the kind to follow in anybody footsteps, but rather would they explore new regions. The college was ransacked from basement to tower. Indeed three brave maidens in search of knowledge ascended to the roof of the college and made investigations much to the horror and wonder of the staid old Sophs., foolish juniors, and owlish Seniors, and to their own chagrin, for some jealous Seniors casting their sad reproachful lanterns upon them realized that their Waterloo was fast approaching, if these young wonders continued in their mad career, and carried the ladder away causing these naughty girls to be late to class. From that day forth that old ladder was never left idle. Do you remember how the First Greek class used to make hasty exits out of the south window and down the ladder and hie away to shady green spots, when their Prof. left the room and forgot to come back. Do you remember the spreads we used to have out under the cedar trees where four-leaf clover grows when Pete treated? Have you forgotten those tiptop receptions, picnics, and banquets the naughty eights gave? Do you remember The flags B. M. used to unfurl on the tower? Well have you forgotten mama's clothes ine ? When we get old we get reminiscent so have patience if we bore you. But now listen, for this is true, and honors of this kind have never been granted to students before nor since, Dr. Black chose members of this class for his Vice-Presidents--and you all know the result. They immediately took things in their own hands and managed skill- fully and things happened that never did before. Why didn't they eat in the practice rooms, do stunts in chapel, and generally make things so uncomfortable that the faculty had to get busy and built a new chapel, library and music rooms? ' Why was that Campanile put on top of the new chapel? To hang the '08 flag on 17
