banquet at Giersch ' s. which was greatly enjoyed by all — by some even to the extent of causing animated discussions as to the true ]K)sition of the Xorth Star. Seniors! — what a magic wdnl. lint, oh! the linllnwness of it. For three years we have looked on with wonder at the Senior and iiis doings and l.ave longed for the time to come when we should be IT. lint it seemed that nothing out of the ordinary happened when we registered, and the world seemed to take very little notice of the important affair, and we are gradually coming to the conclusion that Seniors are only students with a few more privileges and a lot more work than other students. . nd dignity ! The supply of that seemed to have given out before we got to our share, for from Kueffner up we couldn ' t be dignified if we tried, and one Professor has called us the biggest set of kids on the hill. . t the beginning of the session. Dr. ' inston called a meeting of the class and outlined to us his plans and policies for the student government during the year. He caused the Senior privates much dismay by announcing that the hitherto forgotten rules concerning drill and cha])el would be enforced on them. In the course of his address he spoke of the evils of hazing, and asked that the class take some action in regard to this matter. In a class meeting held after the Doctor ' s address, his suggestions were considered and acted iii)oii, and as a result, hazing has been reduced to a negligible minimum. As another evidence of the interest of the class in the welfare of the College, there is before it now the question of establishing the honor system in the College, thus placing it in line with the leading colleges and universities of the country. We were very much saddened by the death, in our midst, of Mr. J. A. Porter, of the Jiniior class, who entered school with its and who had many warm friends atnong the class. . 11 of us are ])rottd of A. and M. ' s record in football tiiis year, hitt none are prouder than tlie Senior class, who were represented on the team by Stroud, P eebe and ' on (llahn, tnen who hold foremost places in Southerti athletic circles, . s an indication of our knowledge, I may say that more of our class will make honors this year than frotn any other Senior class. In addition to this, the average of the class is much higher than ever before. I ' ut the time is drawing near for us to leave. Every da ' retninds us of the fact. Now it is photographs, now cotnmencement speeches, and X( ) ' conditiotis. I know I voice the sentitnent of the class in sayitig that as I look back over the four years spent at this College. I can but dread the time when we shall have to part, the class forever, its members having oidy the hopes of occasional meetings. In this place we have found a second home, and the friendships fortned are in tnany cases stronger than those of the hotne town. .Many of us have sisters here in Raleigh, to part from whom will almo.st break our liearts. . s Freshmen we have .suffered together, and as Seniors we have s])orted together, until it seems that we just can ' t do withottt each other. I ' .itt an end to such doleful philoso])hy. We have received an education and tile world is calling on us as men to come out atid take our jilaces among its laborers. There are farms to be tilled, railroads to be built, and electrical power to be developed, and we are called on to do our part. So let us not repine, but look forward to the day when we shall go out into the world as workers atid shall begin to become factors in the develoj tnent of our State and Xation. In conclusion, let us say with Tiny Tim. God bless us all, HlSTORl. N.

He has distinguished himself liy hutting into the Senior Cla.ss and by his diseoveries in che mistry. Baron is the pride of Professor Withers ' s heart, for there are great things in him. Oh ! why should the spirit of mortal he proud. FRANK OSCAR BALDWIN, Tazewell, Va. Chemistry. Senior private. Height .-) ft. ID in. Weiglit 142 !hs. Age 21 years. Baldwin is a chemist by profession and a clam by occupation. He seems cold, haughty and reserved, but such is not the case, because when he opens up his heart to you he has the soothing efTect of a hot-water bag. He has a soft pianissimo voice, which he seldom uses, but wlien he does separate himself from his vocabulary, wisdom flows forth. He has re- cently devised a method of using alcohol for street lighting jnirposes. which he will soon put in operation in Raleigh. This will he a great boon to the citizens and students, because when they sutTer from thirst all they will have to do is to arm themselves with a ean-opener, a straw, a pair of pole-climbers, then go on a still hunt for a lamp-post. 26
