Senior History IT Q-ives 1110 much pleasure to look back upon the time when first this Class of ours saw the ivy-covered walls of old A. and M. Yet as I let my thoughts thus idly wander back to by-gone days, 1 can not but remember that the days through which our Class has lived saw much that gave us pain. Faces we had learned to love, fellow class-mates, men who ever had the love of Class and right before their eyes left our midst and entered the arena of a struggling world. ( )ur Class has missed these men, for several were among the back-bone of the Class, and I can but do justice by remembering that the Class feels now as if it were but half a Class, — a tree from which its strongest limbs were torn, — a man whose every cherished hope had fled.

This second year as college mates marked with us a fast-approaching unity, a development of spirit as it was, and in those days our Class was all that class implies. As Sophs, we held our first Class l)an(|uet, and well we remember the first 05 dinner. This banquet gave us to understand that we were entering into manhood, and left us with a democratic feeling in our hearts. We continued in advancing ideas, — some were new. while some, though old to other colleges, were new to . . and AI. Our Rooting Club was one of these, and we can say with jiride that this club was. of its kind, the very first that ever made the campus ring with ells and cries that urged our athletes to victorv.
