The SENIOR BOOK. AM very glad to be counted in, in any way, as a member of the Senior Class of 1907. It is true that I am not a young woman-nor ever wasg but it is also true that I remember very distinctly the day when I graduated. I knew much more then on some points than I know now. But, on the whole, I looked forward on life with the same curiosity and the same hopes which make life so well worth living to you girls. I delivered the class poem on our Class Day. I said: Brothers, we, too, are Freshmen Rudely hurled Upon the larger college of the world. And, after describing the chaotic conjectures of a Freshman as to College life, I remember the poem expressed the wish: May each portent of sorrow that we view Prove like the Freshman's- Fleeting and untrue. And then followed some very cheerful hope of what the larger college of the world might bring to us. If I had Walker's Rhyming Dictionary here I could write this out for you in as good verses as I wrote then. But, as I have not, you must accept your old friend's best wishes in prose. Always truly yours, EDWARD E. HALE. 1907. 6
