,HIS THE CLASS OF '16 takes leave from the walls of our endeared and cherished Alma Mater, we do so with mingled feelings of joy and sad- ness. Joyful are we, because we have now completed our college education and will step out into a larger field and enter upon a definite purpose in life. Joyful are we, that, after so many years of application to our studies, we have now reached the goal for which we set out some six years ago. On the other hand, we are also experiencing a' keen emotion of sad- ness. To think, that after spending six of the best years of our life at St. John's, we are now departing, some of us, perhaps all of us, not again to spend happy hours within the circle that has so tenderly cared for us, can not but make us feel sad. To leave all our friends at this period of life and to leave them, at least many of them, to meet no more, increases the sad- ness that must fill the heart of every graduate as he speaks the farewell words to the institution which for years has been the center of his thoughts and actions. Bnt we depart with the sincerest wishes ever with St. John's, and with the assurance that the spirit which to-day lives, will always. live, and that the endeared memories of our Alma Mater shall ever remain in the soul of each Senior. Endeared Alma Mater, Adieu ! Riga, 2 Q?

UNIORS, as a rule, are very much envied by the lower class-men, as they have finished the more diiiicult part of college work, but are not yet burdened with the grave re- sponsibility of seniors. These certainly are ample reasons for envy: but every rose, no matter how beautiful and fra- grant, has its thorns. So the Junior also soon finds many arduous and almost invincible tasks awaiting him. The first herculean work is to captivate that dreadful enemy, Hebrew, a new recruit in the ranks of his studies. And then Latin and Greek seem to have changed garbs since he saw them last, as he is now required to translate real classical literature, in which the philosophers of old reveled. Mathe- matics and the other studies have also taken a more definite form and have become more difficult to master. These ene- mies, with their combined forces, prove a mighty adversary for the Junior. But a student who has gone through the ar- duous life of Preps and Freshman and Sophomore is fully in a position to endure severe hardships. The Juniors of '16 have fought nobly and have taken a lively interest in all branches of college life. The winning 1.-
