Only one-half of last year’s class present on the opening day. The others, most likely, are whiling the happy hours away in blissful idleness. Hay Day. A bright light illumined the College this morning with a roseate lustre. Upon investigation it was discovered that the aforesaid bright light was merely the reflection cast by the fiery-headed J. M. Hay. He has a hat but didn’t wear it. Coghlan emerges from the uncharted depths of Friday Harbor. He seems quite prosperous, displaying a package of Camels with reckless abandon. Hannan refuses to sleep at home, preferring to doze in Latin Class. Sophomore Class Banquet. A very formal and entirely filling affair was held in one of the best known Eating Emporiums. It was a seemingly endless succession of delicate morsels, served by deft hands and enjoyed by hungry Sophs. Neilan cut his mouth severely eating peas. Today one of the Class purloined a banner from the top of the Fine Arts Building, bearing the inscription P. I.” or “19.” Afterwards it was found to be the Freshman Class Banner. We now have it locked securely in the Sophomore Trophy Room. The Scribe and J. M. Hay play on College Football team. The Scribe stars. The Athletic Editor refuses to publish this. Well, Charity begins at home. Thanksgiving Holidays. We are thankful. Hannan takes Class to the Orphcum. Sophomore Class stages the “Fairy’s Judgment” in the College Auditorium. J. M. Hay wins imperishable fame as an impersonator of the gentler sex. Hannan as the Spaniard was very greasy and his accent smacked of tortillas. Neilan was a very winsome and charming hero. Coghlan was a typical “heavy,” rolling his “i”s and everything. The rest of the class performed in a most acceptable manner. Back again after a few short, joyous hours of carefree happiness. James M. (Fain) indulges in snowballing with the underclassmen, much to the vexation of his sedate fellow-Sophs.

S K A T T L K C () L L K G K A N N U A L IT So much for higher things.” Let us descend to earth. Space is growing short and after the fashion of every proper Class Chronicle, we must proceed to record a few of the principal events of the year. T. G. Earles arrived two weeks late, R. J. Coughlin later, and J. P. Mitchell latest. The two last named hail from Iowa. Maybe it was the fault of the state in which they were born that caused them to be late. I don’t know. Four members of the Class participated in the Football game between the College and the High School teams. R. Bcezer at right end covered himself with glory. Of course the other three starred. On College Day the Class presented a skit entitled Twenty Years Hence.” It was loudly applauded. All appeared after the Christmas holidays wearing theii loudest neckties and gloomiest looks. Wetness had passed from us, leaving an arid Prohibition waste. The Exams come and go, and J. McAtecr excepted, the whole Class joins the Glee Club. J. P. Mitchell of the University District, takes a three weeks’ trip East. The Repetitions and Exams are again appp roach ing. J. P. Mitchell returns and quits the Baseball squad, claiming that too much play and not enough study makes John a flunked boy.” The Junior Banquet was held on May 18th at the “Northold” Inn. The Senior Class were our guests. A. Scdlock of Renton gave a pleasing vocal solo, while L. B. Schorn of ’16, the Class Valedictorian, gave a very forceful speech on “Our Duty to Alma Mater.” The “cigarres” for the occasion were furnished by L. G. Reilly of Beacon Hill. 'Fhe year draws to a close. Ere long there will be a new Junior Class and we shall go to occupy the places left vacant for us. We can only wish that our successors do as well as we did. Modesty forbids us to sav more. 4 $• °i

SEATTLE CO I, LEGE ANNUAL 19 Jan. 25. Feb. 3. Feb. 17. Mar. 12. Mar. 15. Mar. 22. April 19. May 9. May 17. May 27. Mid-Year Exams. Results—(deleted by Censor). Sophomore Class gathers at Hannan’s home to sing, eat his sandwiches, and give the family a rare treat of having their boy home for an entire evening. All the members hand in their Latin Composition to Father Durgan. The Freshmen can’t seem to profit by our example, much to the disapproval of the aforesaid Father Durgan. One of our members leaves school, having found the idea that he had chased after, and having captured the elusive Dame Knowledge. Coghlan joins the circle of select mathematicians by answering a question in Analytics this morning. One-third of the class absent today. We hear that they attended the Orpheum in a body. Class decides on having class-pins made. Treasurer visits the leading jewelers and procures bids for same. Easter Holidays. Two-thirds of our number go camping at a little place called Franklin. Fine time reported. Elocution Contest. The writer listened to some, and managed to sit through the entire act. “Virtus in arduis” is a good motto. We arc all studying hard, even Neilan. Sophomore Class Picnic was held today. A very enjoyable time was had at the expense of no one. The members indulged in swimming and croquet. To conclude, we wish to make it understood that though our class is not the largest in the College, it is easily the foremost when there is a question of intellects. It also leads in all school activities and we hope sincerely that our successors may learn to imitate us in physical and mental achievements, where we have reigned supreme.
