“Senior Class History C II REE years have come and gone. The Class of 1905 has experi- enced the tremblings of the Junior, the swelled head of the Mid- dler, and the quiet, peaceful supremacy and dignity of the Senior. 1 ' liree years filled with joys, victory and success; with just enough trouble and defeats scattered in to make us appreciate the smiles of Dame Fortune. We came to Springfield thirty strong, stalwart youths, representing fifteen states and provinces, and three countries. There was Davis from old irginia ; Cousins and Maxwell, two bluenoses, from the barren shores of Nova Scotia; from the city which made Pabst beer famous came Steiner arid Werner, and a little later from Sunny Italy came Franchini, who, though he stayed with us only a short time, won his way into all our hearts, and when he could no longer endure the climate of this country, took back with him our love and esteem. Since then he has been called to his Eternal Home, and we feel that we have lost a friend and brother, as well as a true classmate.

The MASSASOIT 29 Within the first term it was discovered that one of the banks at Newark, N. J., was in a bad condition, and Ketchum considered it his duty to return and put the institution back upon its feet. Then it appeared that Lillian Russell could not manage her country estate alone and so Schaffrath returned in post haste to look after the starving chickens and wandering sheep. Now, Saphore was not quite sure that he was not called to hypnotize people into buying books on the seven mysteries of the earth, and so he hied himself away. A few others also decided that without them in the center of the world’s activities things would go to smash, and so they betook themselves to the needy places. This may sound as though we were “petering out”; such, however, is not the case. Naughty Five immediately “got busy” ; we entered into all the school activities, and held our own in all branches of the life at T. S. Some of the men even ventured to stray from their own fireside, and to try the sofas in different homes, in and around Springfield. Why, even to this day, I believe Botsford remem- bers sleeping on three chairs in the Gym, waiting for Rick to bring back the door key. Then some of the fellows also became acquainted with the clear waters of the Massasoit in a rather sudden manner, when the canoes turned turtle. Zipp found things pretty strenuous at first, but after he had grown accustomed to being away from the “fair lady of Hartford,” he bright- ened up a hit and has run a good race. Doyle made a fine man, for a noble Senior of ’03 to work for half the expense of a carriage, when he wished to bring a couple of his lad} - friends to an “open night.” Caskey and Robertson were the “tin-horn disturbers” our first year, and they cer- tainly kept things moving. No history of our Junior year would be complete which did not men- tion the famous flag fight, in which the orange and black of Naughty Four was torn from the top of the school flagpole and divided among the mem- bers of Naughty Five. We postponed the organization of our class until the last of October, when we elected Werner president, Caskey vice-president, and Zipp treas- urer and secretary. These were men of sterling worth and guided our class through its first year in a masterly fashion. After much discussion, we chose for our colors light blue and navy blue. Appropriate colors they are, for Naughty Five has always shown itself “true blue.”
