So nearly equal were ye.sterday’s contestants that at the end of the two .‘in minnte halves neither had .scored, d ' he time was extended .‘in minute ' s. In the gathering darkness Young carried the hall the length of the field and shoved it past goal kee])er lUickland for the only point of the day. Xo less exciting was the dnal track meet with ’ 08 . We can get the best and most accurate imj)ression by again quoting from a daily paper: “The meet was the closest in the history of the school, and was in donht until the last event had been nm off The different events were very interesting hecanse the classes were so very evenly matched. The lead in the race alternated several times during the afternoon, and it was easily seen that the class which had the strong men at the finish would he ac- corded the victory. We eventually won by the small margin of one point. All credit to onr worthy oi)ponents !

■28 THE M ASSASOIT Hq Others Sec Os In closing the brief history of onr class we would with all Innnility present the statements of two of our beloved instructors. They have been very closely associated with ns as a class, and also as individuals. In the position they occupy towards us they are more capable of judging of our strong (pialities, as well as our weak ones, than are we. “ ' 07 has done much to establish a high ideal of the relationship of the students to all the property of the school, d ' hey have sought to make every member of the class feel a sense of proprietorship, the influence of which has been ver - marked upon the whole .student body.” “ ' 07 has some characteristics which stand out. Those that have impressed me most are these. . s a teacher I have always found them responsive in a high degree to the claim of the ideal in thought and con- duct. They have always been eager for the broader outlook and the wider horizon. 1 shall not remember this class so much for its peculiar individuality as for its strong personality, which is better. It is possessed by what we have called the ‘Social Spirit of Christianity.’ “Last, but not least, it is an eminently likable class, it has always created a pleasant atmosphere. It will he missed. “I think that its cpuck response to the larger appeal along all lines is the (juality that impresses me most.
