' 55. Class Colors : — Orange and Seal Bro-ivn. Motto : — Fortiter, fideliter, feliciter. Yell:— Yah! Yah! Yale, S. C. ' 88, Hist, Boom, Ah. T last we are Seniors ! How that name has ever brought up before our minds visions of the bhssful time when we should at length see our great merits appreciated as they deserve, and when, with high hat and still loftier air, we should dazzle the eyes of under-classmen ! But, alas ! When we have now reached this pinnacle of greatness, it lills our hearts with mel- ancholy and despair to think that we are but Preps, soon to enter as Freshmen the hard school of the world. What is there to be our lot, we know not; but, ye gods, we beseech you, may we not be found so green as when, in our former verdant state, we were beguiled into giving our constitution and foot ball into the guardian care o f ' 87. May our future career be at least more harmonious than the time when the word eighty- eight was a synonym for faction and discord. We will be the largest class to graduate from College, — the largest in numbers, largest in brass, yea, the greatest kicking and wire-pulling aggregation that ever came to Swarthmore. We take great pride in our motto. None but the most preju- diced Freshmen can fail to see its appropriateness. Gentle reader, decide for yourself: — Fortiter, fideliter, feliciter, — who says we are not strongly attached to our Class, (and to one an- other) ? Who can deny that each one oxV faithfully (for him- self) ? Finally, who can have the audacity to declare that we are not happily united and harmonious in action ? How pro- phetically we chose that motto ! We published a Halcyon, but we had not patriotism enough to secure the honor of naming the track. Indulgent reader, hearken to our greatest boast of all. We have succeeded in breaking, by a wide margin, Swarthmore ' s record for ponying. We have got above using the text, are the words of one of our brightest. And now, with the hope that our old friend will not kick in our extremity, but carry us over Commencement on a full gallop, Ave bid you adieu. 14
