Senior Class History Whether it was sidereal time, apparent solar time, mean solar time, or civil time that a disturbance was manifest in the celestial sphere of which Susque- hanna forms the center we cannot definitely ascer- tain, but that a new and peculiar object appeared above the horizon of the college world is a fact that is clearly and positively known. The professors were uncertain whether it was a meteor, comet or planet. They examined it by the perfect telescopes of musty languages and stiff mathematics and pro- nounced it a Freshman constellation. It appeared higher as well as smaller in size ; the professors tak- ing another view of it declared it was a Sophomore constellation. It rose higher and increased in bright- ness. They examined it through the improved lenses of mind, matter, time, space, light, heat and soundand after a process of a posteriori reasoning named it a Junior constellation. Now it has approached the zenith and the professors after having carefully con- sidered the time of its appearance, the progress of its course, and the brilliancy of its members, have de- clared this object to be the class of 1905 and have agreed that it is one of the brightest as well as most beautiful constellations that has ever arisen in the heavens of the Susquehanna. This constellation contains the lucky number seven. The members are closely united, whether by the charm of the number or on account of the ex- 25

treme good nature of the individuals we cannot deter- mine. The class meetings in which the ring ap- peared to dominate, will never be forgotten. The originality and uniqueness of their character are truthfully shown by the records. In the class room many new and startling revelations were made con- cerning the number of the elements of the earth ' s crust, the contents of the ocean, the reptilian age and the circles of the celestial sphere. The members aided by the attentive attitudes of their classmates, have attained such a degree of proficiency in their ability to lecture on economical and theistic questions that it would not be idle to predict that they will win for themselves places of honor and distinction. Commencement day is almost here. The mem- bers of the class look forward with pleasure to that eventful day, the one longed for th roughout their course when they shall have finished playing their little part here and shall have entered upon the larger stage of real active life. The thought of fulfilling the plans, attaining the desires, realizing the hopes naturally gives to each feelings of joy although the thought that this is the last year of college life with its freedom, companions and happy associations is not unalloyed with regret. No more will the members of the class of 1905 meet in the halls of Susquehanna, no more will they wander over the hills of the surrounding country or along the banks of the placid river. Others will come and gaze upon these familiar scenes, partake of pleasures similar to our own, assume our places and be granted the privilesres we now enjoy. The class of 1905 will go forth and may each member carry with him the motto Animo non Astutia and prove himself and herself an honored and respected citizen and a loyal and devoted child of Susquehanna.
