They seemed indeed to bein as heavenly a state as .05 one could Wish. Sophomores were only impudent and juniors carefree, but the Seniors! Woiild we ever be like that? It seemed doubtful. - Nevertheless in September, 1907, we returned to school for our last year. We tried to look dignified and important as Seniors should, and although of course, being the Class of 1908, We succeeded, still, to tell the truth, we couldn't quite believe ourselves th-at we had reached that honorable position.

About the same time the large debt of the Athletic Associa- tion was wiped out, largely through the efforts of Seniors. The girls were busy meanwhile in attending the teas given by the sororities. B. T.-., Alpha Alpha, Phi Sigma and Kappa Mu Sigma all gave these delightful affairs early in the year. No longer were the callers afraid to go in when they reached the house for they were Seniors and therefore above bashful- ness. Although the boys were not there still the girls seemed to have a pleasant time. In December came the final Class elections. Qur Class -kept up its record for quickness and in a few minutes all the officers' were elected. Tn every case except one, where the student had left school, the former officers were again in- stalled. Hillhouse got theoffice of President after several years Of defeat., 1 The Junior Fair was given about this time. The Seniors w-ent and had a good time, although the affair eidn't approach the one we gave the year before. Basketball was started now.
