History of the Class of 1905 sw Q HAVE often wondered how Sir Walter Raleigh felt when he undertook to write a history of the world. I am quite sure he could not have been so burdened with the weight of his responsibility as I am. Woe to me if perchance I should fail to do justice to these august worthiesg and yet how hard it is to soar so high! These brilliant stars of 1905, developing their talents, will be the men of their day. Some of us came from high schools, some from private schools and some, perhaps, from the tender hands of a governess, finally to unite here in one interest and one effort. We have not always been banded together, all striving for the same goal-4our degree, but we are of various ages and diverse natures, with different equipments and separate aims, but by the powerful force of attraction, we have all been drawn to the magnetic center, St. Iohn's College. We are twenty-six in number. Some of us were Preps. last year, but the majority of us came for the first time to old St. Iohn's in September, 1901. Those of us who came from the Prep. school were: J. M. Green, E. P. DuVal, Joseph R. Pennell, Bernard Carter, A. B. Cecil, G. F. Smith, 'Merrit G. Rasin, Armine W. Smith, Edgar A. Vey, M. Keith Neville, john A. Tarbert, I. Vincent Jamison, Harry P. Graham, Duncan C. Walton, Ralph C. Bowen. Those who came in September are: Gore, Brogden, Merryman, Fox, Lilly, Ruland, Hopkins, Valk, Bird, Willing. These have all proved to be of great importance in the make-up of our great class. Some are noted for great business abilities, such as can be found in very few boys of theirage 3 some for their great wit and humor, and quite a number are noted for qualities which, perhaps, had better not be men- tioned. On the Thursday following our arrival at Qld St. Iohn's, our attention was drawn to the following notice, adorned with skull and cross bones, and posted in conspicuous places about the hall: All Freshmen must report in room 35 tonight at 8 o'clock sharpf' by order of the G. O. H. None of us knew what was meant by G..O. OH., but from the emblem above the notice, we thought it must be some organization worthy of great respect. Eight o'clock found us in the room specified, and there for the first time we became acquainted with oiiicers of the NG. O. H., and for two hours or morewe had the pleasure of displaying our musical talents while standing on a three-legged table. Nor was music the only kind of amuse- ment on thistgreat occasion, for there was dancing, and speechmaking, made more emPh3t1C by p Sir after each word, and a great deal of making love to one's self in 86 ,x I, l 1 f 5. li: E 1. f .
