4, 76 THE TARGET The Classes THE editors have long been trying to pick out the most deserving - ,. class so that they might dedicate an issue of HTHE TARGETH toit in return for the great services rendered to us. We have, however, come to the conclusion that the following dedications, are far more appropriate: P To the Juniors we dedicate a tombstone and advise them to crawl under it. To the Sophomores, our splendid example. May they profit S by it. To the Freshmen-well, perhaps we should leave them out, as M their help could not possibly amount to much, they being young and ll inexperienced and under the Juniors' guiding hands. The Preps we ad- TQ monish to always be good and do right, and perhaps some day they will grow. up and be big like we are. E E U sophomores and Freshmen WE feel as if some mention should be made in this issue of THE M4 TARGET, concerning our carefully trained children, the illustrious class TI of '07, E W For the last period they have most ably defended their honor and Th their rights against the fierce little freshmen. 5 Fr The trouble began when McNamara, whose name is a terror to thc, Sa class of '07, climbed the flag-pole on the' drill-hall, and pulling down '07 'si MG colors, dragged them in the dust. Tu This of course was more than our little children could stand, and then W' the fun began, and for that matter it is still going on. The favorite place for their rushes seems to be on the stairs leading to Fr the school-room, although they have beenheld all over the grounds and even on the roof of the drill-hall. S These classes have given us a great deal of amusement, recalling to us l al the pleasant day of our youth, and we for our part, while of course not wishing to have any disorder carried on, rather enjoy the small troubles Su' they are having.
