they had walked out, and the Sophs would also return in the manner they had come, that was on the wagons, with the weary juniors and their friends dragging their tired feet along the dusty road behind them. During the Junior year the class of ,O7 was eminently successful in all its undertakings. On October 16, the class spent a delightful even- ing at the home of Arthur P. Rickard. On the evening 'of January 16, 1906, the class was entertained by Frank VV. Reinoehl at his home on College street. Although surround- ed on all sides by Seniors and Sophs, the party was carried to a success- ful termination and the Juniors returned to their homes unmolested. The principal social event of the year took place on the evening of June 6. A banquet was given by the Juniors at the Hotel Courtland in Canton, in honor of the Senior class. The evening was spent in the enjoyment of a promenade, a banquet and a number of toasts, after which the classes returned to the Mount forgetting all their past animos- ities and to remain friends forever. In the fall term the class was entertained at the home of Miss Mary Russell. The Seniors had a jolly good time, while the juniors staid in on account of the rain, altho to the unprejudiced observer it seemed doubtful as to their knowing anything about it. I The Sophomores invited the Seniors to spend the evening of March, 4 with them at the home of Miss Martha Henry. About twenty-five of the guests had assembled when the Barbarian hordes swooped down upon thepeaceful scene and soon all was war. Witliiii and without the hosts were soon marshalled. The enemy finally broke through the first line of defense, but a second was soon formed and the advance stopped. After considerable parley in regard to surrender, the enemy were taken away to captivity, while the victors returned to their merriment. The social events of the year were closed with an affair for the Soph- omores and the annual banquet given by the juniors.- The making of history we must now lay aside, leaving this work to the feeble class of '08, whom we hope may somewhat make up in person- ality what they lack in numbers. To the friendly Sophomores we hope that continued glory may be added to their already illustrious careerg while to the little Freshmen, we can but admonish them, if they wish to leave a proud record behind them, to study closely and to follow as far as they have the ability to do so the example given them by the class of ,O7, and perchance they may sometime secure some little space on the pages of Mt. Union history. 423-. -A

ilieuiem uf 0112155 nf 'H7 We realize the impossibility of giving the history of the class of '07, during thefour years of its existence, in the space allowed us. Its COIT' tinual triumphs over all obstacles in the path of its progress has given. it a record any class might envy. Persistency and a set purpose have gain- ed for it a place fevv classes have ever held. The class was first organized during the winter term of 'o4. T611 of the present sixteen members were charter members. Immediately after organization a class party was successfully held in the Republican Hall, much to the chagrin of the Sophs., Seniors and Preps, who vvere unable to locate the place of rendezvous, until the Freshies were long since in their beds. During the following spring term the Sophs. held a banquet at Can- ton. .The Freshies learning the particulars in the case, lined up for ac- tion. Wlieii the electric cars came in about midnight, not a Soph. was in sight. They had been warned by the Seniors that the Preshies were out, so left the- cars about three miles West of .Mt. Union walking through the mud and rain the remainder of the vvay home, in order to avoid them. , The first class event of the Sophomore year was a house party at the home of Miss Mary Lorentz, on the first day of the Winter term of ,o5. Upon the appearance of the juniors, Freshmen and Preps, a vvarm re- ception vvas immediately tenderedlthem, and they soon retired, realizing their inability to compete with the Sophs. On the evening of February S, the Senior class royally entertained the class of ,O7 at the home of Miss Mildred Tucker.
