other classes in their feeble attempts to imitate in part its successes. Although leaf in number, through their whole course they have furnished a striking illustration of the superiority of intelligence over brute force. Their freshman year was spent mostly in quiet studying except when two or three of their number took down the Sophomore banner from the tower, and again when a '06 was placed on the new clock face. This latter epi- sode caused a diminution in the numlser of boys in the Sophomore year. Despite this handi- cap. ,06 had the reputation for always holding her own against great odds. The hob- sled ride out to Pete,' VVhite's, the spread at Rankin's while the Juniors and Fresh- men sat below and ate peanuts, and the secret banquet, were the principal events of the year. Already was being manifested that feeling of good will and determination to have a good time which has so signally marked this class in later years. This year was when ulkeyv lost the banner over which the class of '07 still exults triumphantly. Poor things! their insignificant victories in this direction are appreciated on account of their rarity. The lunior year was taken up largely with the production of the Crisis 'Nut said. ilihe annual honhre roast, the bobricle, the Crisis, celebration, and numerous minor jollifications were enjoyed. ln the spring they took first place in the class track meet. ln the Senior year the class took charge of the Phoenix, awoke it from its lethargy and are attempting to again make it a credit to the school and at the same tirre pay expenses. Since the third Prep year this class has contained four captains of the first football teams, besides three Y. M. C. A. Presidents. Seven young men and an equal number of young women are now preparing to go out and reflect credit on their Alma Mater and incidentally on '06, the most congenial class which ever enjoyed the privileges of intellectual coirpanionship. 305, 35, .

This was the organiza- tion of the class of '06. Ever since, this class has been distinguished by an originality which places it in bold relief against the monotonous similarity which marks the course of other classes. Everything which it has done, it has endeavored to make the best yet, and how well it has succeeded is shown by the envy with which it is regarded by the rr -v -
