If any year stands out prominently in the annals of the class we think it would be the Junior year. .That year saw the new chapel ready for occupancy, and we partook in the general migration into the new quarters. ln that year we published our VIKING, and we must have done it well, for the general edict Forbidding-the-Further-Publishing-of-a-VIKING-Annually was issued shortly after it was launched. ln that year also we lost our honorary members who for three years, as parents true, had borne with us our triumphs and our defeats, our joys and our sorrows, but were then compelled to leave us, and we as or- phans had to pilot our way through the tempestuous seas of the Senior year. And just to top off the Junior year right we gave the Seniors '07 a reception, which though in itself not very fastidious or high-falutin', must still be classed fby all those who had the misfortune to be biddenj as one of the neverfto-be- forgotten affairs. As for the Senior year-it has but begun, its history is yet to be made: For us it already records two noteworthy events. We had the privilege of par- taking in the introduction at St. Olaf of Ujimmanasticksn as an art. This may not seem to be a big event in itself, but the pictures we carry with us of such athletes as Rorem clad in a gym-suit and doing a turning pole stunt according to Rousseau, or Bjorgum in the act of unhorsing the horse can never be blotted out of the memory. Again, the year '08 will ever be an auspicious one in St. 0laf's history as it marks the time when the enrollment first reached the coveted five hundred mark. No small event this in the story of St. 0laf's growth!-and it took place in one day. The few things here mentioned, together with a multitude of happy rem- iniscences from college days, will go to make up the cluster of forget-me-nots which the Seniors '08 will take with them as mementos of the College on the Hill.
