To ' 06 Comrades all, come let us linger for a moment ere we go, hen again we meet together, none can tell and none can know. Four long year.; we have worked together, each tor each and all t i all Wakened by the same old whistle, by the same sweet bugle call. Studied with the same Professors, drilled together side by side, Felt discouragement together, or the glow of college pride. Oft together for some pleasure e ' en a stolen one perhaps, )r for all. the day has ended with the gentle sound of Taps. Though discussions may have severed, though opinions may offend, Yet we ' ve been four years together, working for a common end. This itself is binding, mutual, this itself shall be the bond That shall hold us vet together in the busy life beyond.

enior History IN the fall of [902 all eyes were searching the educational heavens for a new star. Gradually above the horizon it rose — bright, sparkling and resplendent in all iis glory. Another luminary had begun its course, and the class of Naughty Six was launched forth on the sea of knowledge with all colors riving. And so, gentle reader, what follows is the history of 1 1 1 i s remarkable class, a bod) of young men on whose escutcheon there is no stain and in whose wake there follow no signs of defeat. It would be impossible to tell all that has occurred in the life of the class ; hence it will be the aim of this history to acquaint the reader with only the must important fact-. While Freshmen, as was the custom, we underwent all the physical inconve- niences imposed on us by the Sophomores I May Allah bless them!) without one murmur of protest. We submitted to applications of face lotions, composed of shoe polish and iodine, with the utmost stoicism, knowing well that silence was golden. Time and time again we were made the helpless victims of their pleas- ure, but had it not been for their untiring efforts to make us feel at home and add the spice to our Freshmen year, it would have been dull indeed. May their tribe increase!. ( )ur Sophomore year began, as we thought, in a blaze of glory, when on our return to college we were hailed as old men by upper classmen, and inwardly consigned to the asbestos-lined chambers below, by the luckless Freshmen, as the) kept step to our rythmical whistle or tripped the light fantastic toe on a table at midnight. Hut alas! The beginning came only when we sruggled with the terrors of the class-room in the shape of Trig, Geometry and other kindred Studies. Faint hearts were many, but the spirit of the Clfass manifested itself in the individual, and in the end we were victorious, as onl) a bodj of determined young men can be. When our Sophomore year was over, we realized that as wise fools we had passed, as it were, the trial b tire of our college course, and felt fully able to cope with the problems of the coming year. I )ur Junior yea ' was perhaps the hardest of am. The dreams of a rarebit fiend wire never more fearful, r a nightmare with all her nine-fold more dread fid than our fitful midnight contemplations of approaching exams on Mechan- ics or Analytics. But we managed to stumble through them all, picking up a formula here and there and a problem occasi nalh : and then came Calculus to the incessant tune of Now gentlemen. Aside from class-room work we have been successful in athletics. The Faculty offered a magnificenl cup to the champions in class foot ball, and of course we won it. Yes, we won it. but not without some of the hardest playing that ever fell to the lot of a class team. It was won bv some of the finest learn
