consummate aim of a college education, we naturally would look for the achievements in that line. As a result a member of the Senior Class took first both in the oratory and declamatory contests, both sec- onds also being held by Seniors. We have been successful not only in the literary field, but have also carried off many laurels in field sports. One of our members was a leading representative of the first baseball team for the last three years. For our report in other athletics, we must consult the records of last spring, as this year's season cannot be taken into consideration. In tennis, a Senior took first place, winning a gold medal: in track work we ran off with the awards in all the foot races, and also took many seconds. In the musical world we have by no means taken a back seat. We furnished a greater per centage of players in the college orchestra than any other class. Early in our history, we conceived the idea of organizing a quartet. The result is the well-known Senior quartet. Other Seniors have attained considerable capability on the piano, though hardly comparable with Paderewski or Rubinstein. We must admit that we have been rather aggressive, although we were not prompted by selfish motives. In brief, we have attempted in student activities to represent real, active, and energetic Seniorsg 9 .J I
