In the first year of our course, Ninety-iive g Did we take all things by force, Ninety-five g For we had a Freshman feast That beat all such, West and East, And its fame has never ceased, Ninety-five. Then we had a tug-of-war, Ninety-five 3 Which did make the Sophies sore, Ninety-five 3 And we also played base-ball Till we drove them to the wall- They were not in it at all, Ninety-five. --Cuoxws. It was when we were Soph'1nores, Ninety-five, Ch, fact each one deplores, Ninety-five, That the Sophimore D. O. A.'s, Who had such peculiar ways, Did some awful juniors haze, Ninety-five. After losing sev'ral xnen, Ninety-five, We were at it soon again, Ninety-five, For some fellows cut the wires And enraged our worthy sires- Ah, there followed seviral fires, Ninety-five. -CHORUS. And when Juniors next were we, Ninety-five, Editors we hoped to be, Ninety-iiveg So we grasped the Trazzscrzybl reins Oh, how brilliant shone our brains With our Oxford caps and canes, Ninety-five. Now, at last, we Seniors are, Ninety-five, Having traveled long and far, Ninety-five, Weire about to quit these halls, And to answer our life calls On the sea of storms and-squalls, Ninety-five. -CHORUS.

HE predominant qualities of the present Junior Class are intellect and genius, neither of which, by some Irony of Fate, is manifested in the composition of this history. That ,Q opportunity for literary distinction has been delegated to the writer of the class roll. What- ever, in these reminiscences, may have seemed to partake of tl1e above-mentioned qualities was unintentional and was kindly cutout by the Editor. The purpose of this history is to record facts -tl1at is-to tell the truth, its subject is juniors 3 its object will be discovered in the future--perhaps. Primarily, the old distinctions of sacred and profane history were conscientiously regarded. But by special request of some fellow-classmen, profane history was omitted. In regard to our own position in this classification we preserve a strictly dignified non-committalism. The only exception to this arrangement is the local preacher. The Professor of Biology was unable to classify him, but we have since learned that Professor Grove is an authority in that line, for details, consult him. The gentlemen of the class, who may feel offended because of now mention in these pages, will do well by consulting their vocabulary. Now, dear reader, hoping that you will pardon these prefatory remarks, we proceed to our original task of writing the class history, being confident that, like Gi's Latin Exercises, It will fee! a long- felt want. Victor Hugo dictated to his type-writer, Yesterday is History, To-day is Life 3 To-morrow is Never. The yesterday of our class is not a long one, yet in it are included many things worthy of praise. It was one of God's own beautiful Autumn days, truly, it seems but yesterday, when '96, strong of man- hood, beautiful in WOl113.l1l100d, made her initial bow at the Freshman U Coming-out party. Quiet fas Freshmen should be, but rarely arejl, loyal and true, the fair young debularzle soon began to make her presence felt in all phases of college life. Having gradually attained, she easily maintained her proper position. 22 7
