THE SENIOR ANNUAL. SENIOR HISTORY. Shakspeare says, ‘‘Golden minds stoop not to shows of dross.’” Our class of 1906 may still possess golden minds, yet search and show the records of our past actions and achievements, for in those records there is Altho we dislike to utter our own praises, yet we feel that such no dross. may utterance is permissible as long as we are con- fident that we merit praise. In 1902, this honored class left the fatherly care of the Court Street principal and went to regions, then to them unknown, higher.
