Mentor Class i oem. Good-Bye. Soon college da -.s will be o ' er, And friends long loved will part Some leave to return no more To the place so dear to our heart. How sad will be the good-byes, When the parting day shall come. We ' ll wipe our tear-stained eyes. As we separate one by one. So man} ' dear hallowed places. Where we talked of fame and life, To friends whose happy faces Did lighten our work and strife. To my comrades all, good-bye. May we meet again sometime. And converse of the days gone by, When Peace our hearts enshrine. 26

In ath- letics we furnished a proper number of men, who were not the worst b} ' any means. In the literary societies we were soon brought into the knowledge of their ways and rushed to the front. The following year found ten of us enrolled as Sophomores, and Sopho- mores we were with all of our egotism, vain pride and dignity — for who would not be proud after wearing off the freshness of the fresh! The Seniors even paid us obeisance and the Juniors marveled about how honorably we con- ducted ourselves. The President himself admired us. We were the whole thing to everyone, with possibly ' the exception of the freshs, who as yet had not forgotten their initiation into freshnianshi]i. We still maintained 28
