Part Iv. of Senior Class Exercises Determined on having a class tree, a night was appointed for the setting out of another tree. In accord- ance with custom, if a tree is not pulled up during the first night after it has been set it won ' t be bothered. Eleven o ' clock was appointed for the planting, and promptly at that hour every Senior reported on the campus with necessary tools. The tree was planted with a little less formality than the former one, but not wholly without ceremony. Before the ceremonial songs had ceased to echo, some B classmen had begun to prowl around and watch for a chance to uproot it. The question to be solved by Seniors was : sit up all night or have no tree? The former was agreed upon. After obtaining plenty of nice food and delicious refreshments, a graet fire was built and encircled by the class. It was a night of feast and fun. On account of being accus- tomed to staying out late in the evenings, i Ir. Burnett left very early in the morning. All others were faithful except ; Ir. Kno.x, who would slip off and go to bed every occasion he found, only to be pulled out by other members and restored to his seat by the fire and tree. Mr. r.arnes was Chief D around the fire, while Big I ' liillips acted the part of Beelzebub creditably. When the day was breaking, and the night dying awa -, the hilarity of the boys ceased, only to be sup- planted bv a peculiar drowsiness called sleep. In the morning, peacefully reclining like the babes in the wood, thev were found asleep at the switch. with their tree standing, unharmed. Later. — At the present writing the tree is just standing, having recently been attacked by the college cow. 30
