It is hardlv necessary to say that each one of these yonng ladies has done her dnty. The end crowns the whole so can not the end of the Senior year — that is commencement — speak for them? Perhaps one of the most enjoyahle eveninjjs spent in onr Alma Mater was cm Fehrnary loth. when the Class of ' 06 so royally entertained. The invited guests, consisting of memhers of the Senior Class and Faculty, were ushered into the chapel where tliev were gracefully and cordially received by the officers of the Junior Class. The chapel was artistically decorated and an hour was spent in this attractive place during which the social feature was rendered ver - jjleasant by mu.sic and song. At 9 130 the guests were escorted to the Refectory which was transformed into an ideal spot. The tables with their snowy cloths, their white candles in the handsome candelabras, the white carnations and little sprigs of fern lying here and there carried the Senior Class colors — white and green — out per- fectly. After ])artaking of the dainty refreshments, served in course, the intellectual programme began. Dr. Clewell acting as toast-master. It was midnight ere the last guest had taken her reluctant departure, each and everv one voting hearty thanks to the fair entertainers who had shown their s(.icial powers to such advantage. It is interesting to know that the Class just now ready to disband forever has scored more Sine Erratis in Biblical Literature than has any preceding class in the annals of the History of Biblical Literature in the college. And again, although previous attempts had been made, the first Aiuiual owes its origin to members of the Class of ' 05. And now the last page of our Class history is at hand — the farewell page. We have fought the good fight and we have come out as wise as Solomon, and now, we leave this history as a model to all succeeding classes — a history that would have made Herodotus himself exclaim well done!
