lhtafnrg nf WEEE Every great nation or institution has had and must have its heroes. lf the names of these persons were blot- ted from their history or would fail to appear the very name of any such institution would be entirely forgot- ten. As all these men shine forth as the brightest and noblest of their time, so the Junior class of Mount Union continues to be the bright and shining light of the in- stitution. Great minds run in the same channel. Cn the night of january 12th, it so happened that both Seniors and juniors had planned a party. The Seniors boarded a car for Canton, while the Juniors, undisturbed, met at Prof. Lee's home. An enjoyable time was had without the knowledge of the Seniors or Sophs, and when the former returned they were chagrined to ind themselves awaited by the juniors and Freshmen. They were escorted to their homes and, but for the interference of sweethearts and chaperon, would all have been deprived of the only things which distinguish them from Preps or Sophs, namely caps and gowns. On the night of May 2nd, we had one of the best and most peaceable parties ever had in the history of our class. XVe met at an early hour at the home of Mr. Rockhill, not while the other classmen were out of town, or afflicted with the mumps, but, while they slept and dreamed of peace and security. Wl1ile the Juniors tar- ried they all slumbered and slept. Best things always come last. The greatest event of the year occurred on the night of May 3rd at North Ben- ton, when the Seniors again ventured out under the pro- tecting Q?j wings of the Sophs. All went well until they were ready to start home, when they were held in check by their opponents, Such tenacity and generosity was never displayed by any class in the history of the Col- lege as was displayed by the Seniors and Sophs on that night. They held to those old hay laden wagons in the middle of the street of North Benton from 10:15 p. m. until 3:30 the next morning and when their grip gave way somewhat theypgave the deputy sheriff six dollars totake them home. Such stick-to-it-iveness was never heard of before, such generosity may, of necessity, be heard of again. As to our achievements, they shine for themselves. lfVhether in the class room, in society, or abroad, to have the epithet of junior immediately arouses wonder and admiration. Mount Union College may forget her former classes. Classes may come and go. Men rise and fall. Nations may rise and fall. But the class of '06 will ever stand as one of the greatest supporting pillars of their Alma Mater. -Historian 'O6.
