It was then that the basketball team began its famous career, and then did our dramatic talent crop out, try as we would to restrain it. We did not even have an accident on our sleighride, as was a Sophomore custom formerly, and as for our banquet to the Seniors, it was the last of its kind, excelling in magnificence any previous one, especially in the amount of food provided—Did we not all come away hungry? But then we had a chance to get thoroughly acquainted with 1903, which was the main purpose of the affair. Again the year-glass ran out. With a fresh supply of sand we started on Junior year. The little Freshmen in our charge we were happy to protect. They were a very commendable class. 'I bis was Prom year so we concentrated our thoughts on the delights of this function and spent two months in mak- ing out dance orders. Why? Again in basketball we made our repu- tation by carrying off the banner as well as the championship, as a direct legacy from 1903. At the taking of the steps in June we shed a tear or two, and it seemed as if we were at last approaching Seniordom. For three years we had worked for this moment, and suddenly all the sand was out of the glass. For the last time we started over again with a full year-glass. It has gone all too rapidly and we are somewhat sad at losing it altogether. Its green luster is untarnished; the Lion still stands in protection and the hearts of 1905 are beating in time to “Holyoke.” When we shall come back for our countless reunions let us never forget to thank the dear old Faculty for preserving a shred of faith in us and allowing us to continue on our course, growing ever stronger, developing character to go out, finally—as loyal daughters of Mount Holyoke.

 3 STJje mama raft a Mentor Class I)tstory THE sand has almost run out of the year-glass: Now the last few grains are dropping slowly, slowly through, while as Seniors we say farewell to the scenes of college. Four times has the glass been turned, starting afresh for each separate chapter of our history, and flowing gradually, joyfully, successfully, until now but little sand remains and the reluctant grains sift down, loath to fall; for with the last one we shall scatter far and wide over the earth. All bright and new was the year-glass when it started in the Fall of 1901, and the Lion was standing guard. He protected it well, fordid we not tie the Sophomores in our first basketball contest? Did we not escape many untold dangers on Freshman Mountain Day, when we climbed Mount Holyoke only to find the hotel closed? Not daunted by this small obstacle did we not gain entrance through subterranean passages and dark corridors, narrow stairs, and locked doors? Did we not open the doors and piano, enticing our hesitating classmates to enter to a triumphial march? Yea. This we did. But history does not relate how we were cruelly thrust out by the enraged owner who climbed the mountain side in hot haste to drive us forth. Open air was always con- sidered better than a house in springtime, so we contemplated the view for the rest of the day. Shortly after this the sand ran out for the first time. At the beginning of Sophomore year, we set the glass up again, and it smiled to itself at our very apparent satisfaction in having a class below us. To everyone else, we were last year’s freshmen; but in our own eyes we were of great importance. Had it not been for us, Miss Goldthwaite would have found time hanging heavily on her hands. Had it not been for us, think how many chapel seats would have been vacant! Had it not been for us, what would have become of the Freshmen’s
