class during the four years of its history: and aspiring classes may well emulate the example of Naughty-one, who will graciously shift her honors to younger shoulders in hlune. The Class of ILJOI has not been prominent in class events alone, but has also been an important factor in all the 'Yarsity teams. ,During the last four years she has numbered among her loyal sons six 'Varsity captains and three 'Varsity managers of the foot-ball, base-ball and track teams. She has also furnished Utterbein's famous pitcher. Two college records in Held events are credited to this class. XYho can say in reviewing its athletic history that the class colors are IIOI well chosen-two royal colors-Purple and Old Gold? IQOI may httingly be called the Class of Presidents, having furnished more presidents for the Young Mens and Young XVOIUCITS Christian Associations, the Christian Endeavor Society, the literary societies, athletic boards and political organizations. than any other class in school. lt is also particularly characterized by the number and rank of its orators. NYithin the past four years several of its number have either contemplated con- testing for oratorical honors or have actually entered the races. Through the agency of loot. and by the lceenness of thought, rhetorical finish of composition. smoothness of expression and modesty of bearing possessed by one of its mem- bers, Utterbein was lately made to rejoice and to congratulate itself in having an orator nzzlfz' A't't'lllItfIIS in the colleges of the state. The class merits the gratitude of the institution for its liberal contributions along musical lines. It has long furnished the soloists for the school and the director of the church choir. lt has represented Otterbein in song through the east by sending a trio of sirens, who by their winning ways, lyric lays and facial rustic rays. directed the course of many future students to the halls of U. U. The class possesses several theologians of no mean ability, who wield a great influence upon the student body, having rendered invaluable aid in the late evangelistic services. lt can truly be said that the class as a whole is well rounded, having among its members prospective physicians, lawyers, teachers, ministers of the gospel, hus- banfhnen, vtilunteerlwanders and housewives. . With such an enviable record of her history in the past and such lofty aspira- tions and bright prospects for the future, let Naughty-one go forth on her aluinnal tour. disseminating truth, corrupting the youth-and jolly all the way. go ,HiISTURIAN.

against broonis, clubs and reyolyers! The desperados on the outside had securely wired the doors: but nothing' daunted, the freshmen laddies, unarmed, climbed out of the windows and rushed at the enemy, who made a cowardly retreat. Those poor seniors! .How the freshmen did beat them playing base-ball! In honor of the victory. the class was entertained by Miss Mabel Scott, and, although many went home soaking wet, their spirits were not dampened in the least. For further particulars ot this push, inquire of Charley Kellar. lluring the sophomore year, this class was composed of twenty-seven mem- bers. lt was a common occurrence for the faculty to hold extra sessions, in order to proyide new methods of instruction for this rapidly advancing class. W'hat became of Bennert, Roby, lYoodland, -X. R. llendriclqson, Trump, L. S. Hendrick- son and Kline? So phenomenally bright were these members of Nineteen-two, that they were advanced, and now are the back-bone of the Class of Nineteen-one. Xlhere are Bear, Good, Harbaugh, Ilnima lsiarnett, May Collins, Zeola Hershey. .lessie l,andis, Laura Mnmma, Mamie Ranck and Alice Shauclc? W'hy, it was not even necessary for these members to graduate, for responsible positions were simply thrust at them. llaul .li.oln', Ivan Rudisill and joseph llrashares are con- tinuing their excellent work in other institutions. Notwithstanding the fact that the class has lost many valuable members, there have been some good additions, and the fourteen who remain are ever loyal to the bronze, green and gold.
