Senior (Class Instant HE Class of “10,” composed of 153 worthy members, is certainly a cosmopolitan class. Almost every profession open to College graduates will for the years to come have within its folds members of our class. Go where you will you will find the Alumni of the O. N. U. Where great legal battles are fought there we find the O.N. U. man. Where a tunnel is to be chizzled or a great bridge to be constructed, — back of it all you are almost certain to find an Ada man with a ready hand and a warm heart glad to talk of the old O.N. U. days. We feel confident that the members of this class are no exception to this rule and in years to come each in his special line will continue to make good for himself and reflect credit upon his Alma Mater. For several years our class was unorganized. Like “Topsy” they just growed. However one starry May night a call to arms was heard. An enemy had been sighted bearing hard upon shores ready to seize our only belongings, our honor and class spirit. On May 5, 1909, an organization was hastily effected of which Mr. C. F. Kurtz was made president. The class under the leadership of its able president sailed fourth to battle with the enemy the Seniors of “09”. The memory of this great day will not soon be forgotten. Never in the history of the school was a more unique and better planned “Junior day” pulled off. Never from the memories of some of the members of “09” will their ride down town and back and their subsequent imprisonment in “The Cage” be effaced. Even the faculty were compelled to admit the day a success on account of thegeneral good nature which prevailed and the comic incidents which occurred. Eastman’sauto and Johnston’s calf were decided successes. Yet no destruction cf property beyond a little tramped grass took place and we all went to work to make our names as seniors. At the head of our organization this year, we have Mr. Walter Davidson who deserves great credit for his untiring efforts and good generalship in behalf of the Class of “10”. Come what will you can depend upon “Davy’s” making a success of things. During our school life in the O.N. U. we have witnessed her rapid strides forward until she now stands with some of the best universities in the land. Chicago, Harvard, Yale and others accept our grades. Our athletic efforts have attracted the atteniton of the most widely known schools of the land and they have gladly consented to become our competitors. As a fitting tribute to our class and University, the most distinguished man in the world. The President of the United States, has agreed to spend from 9 A. M. to 3 P. M. June 3, 1910, as the guest of the President of our school during which time he will deliver our Class Address. May our future be as pleasant and unspotted as the past, and may we, when we have come to shuffleoff this mortal coil, leave the world better for the class of “10” having lived in it.
