During our second year, many kinds of amusement served to break the monotony of student life. It would be an injustice to the Class to leave the impression that there was anything done contrary to the wishes of the Faculty, although we frequently have been alluded to as the Naughty-ones. ' We were Sophomores, and acted as such. AVhen we returned for the third year, our Class was much reduced in numbers. Some had entered the professional schools — others did not return. We had left the previous year our feelings of Sophomores, and were thinking of more serious things — more serious than Conies, even. But there were yet some things which troubled us. One was, The Study of Ourselves, catalogued as Psychology ; another obstacle in our way was, The Study of the General Properties of Matter, or The Study of Energy. No new theories were advanced, or any original ideas heard of. But the December examinations were posted, and some said : It is better to be born lucky than rich. Others said : It is better to get a five than a six. The spring term came and passed, and our Junior year passed into history. With fresh courage and renewed energy, we came back to the University last September to resume our studies. There are iifty-two of us. In athletics, our men have always stood well, furnishing some of the strongest men for the football and baseball teams. On the track team, our men have aided in winning honors for the Univert ity. In the Inter-Society and Inter-Collegiate debates, we have been well repre- sented. Intellectually, the Class is very good, having furnished a good number of men to the Alpha Theta Phi. Now, fellow classmates, the time of parting is drawing near, and we who have spent four years at the University, standing together in victory and defeat, must say farewell. It has passed into a proverb that success is reached through failure — repeated failure has come to all. We have made many mistakes. Man, at best, only moves towards what is perfect, and the goal is reached through the lessons taught by repeated mistakes. We leave to take part in the larger world. We shall alvv ays think of our Alma Mater as the Mecca for North Carolina. Historian. 26
