arrangements for the publication of a Senior Annual. This is it. T The last class election was a happening still fresh in every Senior's mind. Every one turned out to make the meeting a rousing one, and the chapel was full. There was no scrapping That had been before, during the Week passed. The Vote for president resulted in the election of F. Boomer. Doe Landis, and Ida Lewis were put in for vice- president and secretary. Frank Rain was made treasurer, and Otis VVhipple, sergeant-at-arms. , The old University has not heard the last of'99 when the class graduates.

in Union Hall. 'QS took part in this, too, and spent a great deal of money uselessly in stout clothesline and red ink. Well, some of it was used, but all of '99's boys came to the party if a few of them zeferf late. The Conservatory of Music was new in this year, and ,QQ gave its second prep. reception there. The class had posses- sion for part of one night. Again, some bold Freshmen, who afterward found '99 more to their liking than '98, and dropped back to our class, attempted to do harm to a number of our boys. No one ever found out the very exact truth of the matter, but the Freshmen never did it again. Claude VVilson was in this, but he is shy, as we all know, and does not like to seem boastful! So, one cannot find out much from him except that he looks conscious when green paint and sheep shears are men- tioned. But this was long ago, and is forgotten. When ,QQ came to be in its Freshman year, it had acquired wisdom, andrhad profited by its own experience, and the expe- riences of those before and behind it. The members began to see clearer and to understand the University and those in it- They settled down towork, and the fighting and wrangling over trivial nothings was given up. Class meetings were called only when there was something important for the class to decide. C. L, Follmer was president the First semester of this year, and E. F. Turner the second. These two were wise in their day, and led the class safely through its Freshman year. We have lost Mr. Follmer, but Shorty Turner is still with us. When ,QQ was the Sophomore class, the constitution was remodeled. Morse and I-Iawxby were presidents, and Shuff managed the Sophomore Cotillion at Courier Hall. As juniors, last year, the class shone, a brilliant light, every member a hard worker, and spending his energies where they would do the most good. E. M.- Cramb and jane Fox were the two presidents, and the class gave the most successful Junior Prom. ever given in the University. We had always had more ortless trouble with '98, and found it necessary to give them a little farewell lesson that almost everyone remembers. joe Boomer represented the class in this. But wasn't that class play flat? Early in the senior year, the members of the class of ,QQ met, elected J. S. Smoyer president, and a little later made X626
