20 THE HALCYON. SENIORS. Cla8S Coloks : — Garnet and Pearl. Motto : — - e Recedamus. Y-ELJ.:— Be, rah, rhi, rix, S. C, ' SG! The Senior ; he our strong right hand, Of Faculty supporter stanch, Proficient in each single branch, A consummadon great and grand, — He runs tlie ranch. BEHOLD us ! we are Seniors, having passed through those three stages of college life, — childhood, youth and manhood, and are now in our second childhood. The trials of Freshmen dissolve into nothingness when com- pared to those of the Seniors. This year our greatest trouble has been the Faculty. We have had much difficulty in keeping this body in the right path, as it has sometimes proved very erratic. In laying down the plans for it to pur- sue, we have endeavored to keep the interest of the college at heart. We debated a long time before we concluded to shut down on theatricals, but were forced to do so because the last play presented was not ' elevating. Our course may at times seem to have been inconsistent, but we excuse all these vacillations by saying we have changed our minds. A Junior jocosely remarks that this is a gilded figure of speech, and that we have no minds ; but we know better. We know that we could raise brains enough to supply the whole college and have sufficient left for our own use. We know that without our editors the Phoenix would go into a slow decline. AVe know tliat without our athletes there would be no sports. AVe know that without our orators there would be no life in the literary societies. We know that without our beaux the girls would all be neglected. We know all this and more. But if I told you cell we know it would take twice the allotted space : so I will refrain, much as I know you would enjoy the recital. Our minds are filled with gloomy forboding in regard to the future of Swarthmore after we leave. We feel that there is no class here worthy to receive our mantle when we take our departure. Modesty is not one of our faults. We understand the important position we occupy, and we mean that all others shall look at it in the same light.
