History of Junior Class ri ( ' lass history- Ix ' gins lliis year with the second chapter, as iiniie of us uire ever h ' resh (at least in our own estimation). h (ir this reason, we will never have that rather unique experience all Freshmen have in telling of hairbreatlth escapes from the blood-curdling deeds of the Sophomores. But we will have the more unique experience in telling how narrowly the Freshmen escaped frmn us when we, in our lirst ear. proudly entered the Sophomore Class. The Class .if ' no ha- kept up a .g 1 fight from the first, in s])ite of the fact that but few of us will share the glorious victory- As real articles always come in small packages, it would not be well to regret the size of our Class, With nil fear nf the ci insequensec, after our first Soiihonmre meeting, we utterly ignored the stern threats of the Juniors, and the Seniors ' awful warning. And while remembering our well-chosen motto, no difficulty ever arose that was great enough to hinder us in the least, in our forward march. Nc cede iiiuHs. Now we enter the ever-triumphant Junior Class. Those of you wdio have been Juniors know how rightly proud you felt when you received your privileges. Those of you who have not reached that point have something yet to live for. The efforts of the Stern Juniors, now become Sterner Seniors, to over- come us, we ilid not heed at all. . oi i!o we fear that any oncoming class will outdo us in courage or in perseverance. Relying upon the excellent judgment of our President, we decided to keep our former motto. Xc cede incilis: a motto suitable, not mih for our Class, Init for each of us to cherish throughout our life. W ' e are quite fortunate in the ]iersonnel of our Class, and more fortunate in having for its officers girls who hold such high rank in tlie student body. Let i(s then be up ami doinq. With II lieart fur iihy fate. Still achiei ' iiig. still pursiiiiuj. Learn to labor and to zeait. M. RSiiALL Coi.K, Historian.

A MIDNIGHT FEAST (ON TRENCH.) I- 1 I is one who cons at evening o ' er a Trench hook all alone, ' And muses on the origin of words and how they ' ve grown, So I turn the leaves of Supplce ' s till there ' s nothing on-mv mind j But the history and the use of words of every age and kind. II. I The gas-light seems to glimmer with a Aickcr of surprise, i As I turn it low to hide it from the duty teacher ' s eyes, ' And eat some fudge in silence, save a sound that comes to me I From the rat-hole in the corner. ' Tis a rat! — Oh, goodness me! ! III. Though I hear perhaps a dozen squeak and run across the floor. And measure quick the distance from my rocker to the door, I see no way of leaving, so I climb upon a chair; The Trench book still is open, and I study it up there! IV. But ah! my studying ' s broken by a step upon the stair. The door is softly opened, and — the duty teacher ' s there! ! ! . Yet with eagerness and rapture all my visions I resign, I ' To flunk on Trench tomorrow, for to Aunk is in my line. i JuuA Ramsey McNinch. 1
