CLASS OF ' 00. ARTHUR HENDERSON, President. Colors: Green and White. The year has been very quiet for the double nothing clafs. There has been no class scraps and few of those happenings generall}- considered disorderlj-, 3 ' et largely necessary for an interesting class history. A quiet year does not, however, signif} ' a sleepy class. It has been said of countries ; Happy is the country whose annals are short, and the same is applicable to classes. Thus, though the amount of actual history is not great, we can assure you that we are content and happy. On different occasions when we would have shone with dazzling brillianc ' our well laid plans were thwarted by the weather and our pleasures had to be postponed until a more propitious time. Still water runs deep, and when we might have been doing ' ' the town, our time was devoted, instead, to educational matters and intellectual pursuits which are recorded upon the books of the professors as A ' s, B ' s and other unmentionable letters. We are proud of such a showing. We are proud of our class, We are proud of our name. Being so unlike other classes we had to have a name different from others, and so selected something entirelj ' new — Nineteen Hundred, a beautiful, mellow-sounding name which already has been received with such favor that the faculty has decided that the world shall hereafter base the dates of the next hundred years upon it. In view of our bringing such honor upon the college we have thought not a little of suggesting to to the senate a regulation compelling the male students of the college to remove their hats as a sophomore of Nineteen Hundred Saunters by them on the street. Though such a regulation would be altogether fitting and proper, our modesty will not permit us to make the suggestion. In athletics we are equall} ' good. Last year we ver}- justly claimed the championship in baseball, when as Freshmen we licked the Sophs who swiped the Juniors who bluffed the Seniors. This year our material in that line is as j ' et untried, but we are confident that we have it, and time will prove whether or not we are right. During our college course we have always tried to be amiable, and we are told upon good authority that last year the head of the college loved us above all others because of our angelic disposition. Another proof that we are lovable is that some of the professors were very relijctaut to part company with us this year, and much persuasion was necessarj ' to show them that it was for the best. Everything considered we feel that we have much to be proud of, and down in our hearts we respect and applaud the Fates for their wisdom in selecting us to open up the new century.

CLASS OF J 90 J. A. J. GRIER, President. Colors : Crimson and Black. ' Tis strange, wonderous strange, but truth is stranger than fiction, the history of tlie class of nineteen hun- dred and one has never been written until the present time. Our friends among the upper classmen, never tire of recounting their deeds of valor done, and in trying to impress upon our minds the truth of the adage, ' ' Children should be seen not heard. Yet in face of such dis- couragement, we have not grown weak and fallen b - the wayside; but we have made ourselves felt in the seeing line, ' ' and are now beginning to make ourselves felt in the hearing line. Take heed therefore ye upper class- men, and listen to the words of wisdom, which shall fall from our lips, and we trust go down to future generations under the title of Wise sayings from Freshland. No, we have not pushed ourselves forward bj- having picnics and socials, but we did honor the Father of his country by holding a banquet on his birthday, and so great was the respect of the upper classmen for our prowess on this occcasion. that unmolested we held our feast; the like of which has not been heard of for ages. Did I hear some one mention girls ? Do we have any, did 3-ou sa}- ? Well, reader, it is a well kuown secret that the class of nineteen hundred and one has the prettiest girls in college. As to athletics, words are incapable of e.xpressing our merits. We are sure that never, no never will the class of nineteen hundred and one suffer the Crimson and Black to be trampled in the dust. It has been said Great minds flow in the same channel. What further proof do you need of our ability in the class room than to observe how our minds flow in the same chaunel as, and sometimes even anticipate the thoughts of, the worthy Professors. As we have gained a college-wide reputation because, like Grant, we talk little but think much, so when it comes our turn to bid farev ell to our Alma Mater and go forth to take up the struggles of life we hope and trust that we may gain a world-wide reputation for having made the world better than we found it. I ' iam uiveniatii aid faciam. is our guiding star.
