and other forms at work, but these are sooniuterrupted and all vanish. Then Beaver Field appears and around one of the goalposts is a group, while from the top of the post floats a black and red flag hearing the figures ,93. A short distance away is another excited crowd. Au emissary passes from one group to the other, and finally all disappear and the scene van- ishes, only to be replaced by another showing a pole lying flat. This remains buts. short time and all fades into smoke, and the Senior whispers tl '97 flag scrap. Slowly a vision of the lower hallway in the main building emerges into view. Numerous students are seen, some shaking hands and evidently talking zmd laughing, others hurrying back and forth between the business omce and the presidents office, while still others seem to be bewildered. knowing not where to go nor what to do. Then all move into the chapel and are seated, and many are the kind and sympathetic glances cast from the front to those in the rear seats. Evidently the opening of the fall season. Now Beaver Field comes into view again, and apparently another football game is aboutito begin. The ligures '98 and ,99 appear on the players, and as the game progresses the ll Hilo ! Kilo ! of l98 seems to deafen all other sounds, growing louder and louder until the game is done. Then players, spectators and field fade away and all is blank. New forms soon begin to appear and the Bellefonte Central depot can be recognized. An engine with one car is just leaving and the rear platform of the car is crowded with students who are swinging hats, wildly gesticulating and in every way possible showing great glee. 0n the platform of the depot are others who also seem joyful, while some distance hack stand a few forlorn-looking individuals sadly watching the departure. And the Senior knows it is '99 going to their Freshman banquet. Again a change. This time he sees a part of the campus in early morning light. A tall pole is evidently the object of much concern to a group of young men who are gathered around its foot. Glances full of pride and anxiety are cast now at the maroon and gray flag at the top of the pole, now toward the Main Building. Now another crowd is seen to emerge from the latter building and, with a look of Hdo or die on their faces, wend their way toward the pole. They reach its vicinity, make a dash and immediately there is a confused mass of struggling humanity. Arms and legs and squirming bodies appear and the flag floats steadily and tri- umphantly over all, Finally the arms and legs find owners, the mass separates into two groups of forlorn-looking human beings hearing but slight resemblance to those seen earlier in the day, and the 110 or die crowd withdraws. The others out down the pole, remove the flag and the scene vanishes. The Senior ponders on what he has seen. uThese are some of the events in which my class has figured in public. Thus is our history written. our record made. Henceforth, as a class in college. we must live in the past As I turn the leaves of memoryls book I Find but few pages to cause regret. As a whole our history is one for which no class need blush.

BiStOW 0f '98 In OMFORTABLY settled in his cushions before a grate of' glowing coals sat a member of the Class of '98. What cared V he if the wind did blow and the snow fly ' outside! his room was cosy and warm. l and here he enjoyed his cigar regardless VIII of the warring elements. He was think- ing lSeniors sometimes thinkl of his college life about to close and of the i future. As he blew forth a Cloud of smoke he seemed to see therein a vision of Beaver Field. Two foot- ball teams were struggling there with might and main, while canes and banners waved and hats flew into the air. 0n the players he could distinguish the figures l97 and '98. Finally the play Stopped and the triumphant yell of '97 rang in his ears. The scene changes. A room appears in which are tables loaded with good things and surrounded by merry youths. Then toasts are given and drunk and the feast goes on like a summer day. All fade and in their places appears a part of the college campus. It is night, dark and still. Soon a group of shadowy forms fippears and begins digging a hole. The work goes on for a tulle and then other forms appear. Soon the work ceases and again all is quiet. Another part of the campus appears, 21
