THE Ciuass. ZZ- This was the noblest Roman of them all. VERY class has its own peculiarities and can EL K boast of the strange freaks in the several char- LSLTL I7 acteristics and appearances of its members 3 ffl L but it is not every class that can boast of so 3- I imany brilliant men as there are in Eighty- l 5 Six. Indeed the list of great names is so long N I that it is hard to decide exactly at what par- 67 la ,W ticular one to begin. 1 l Probably, in order not to make any of the present members jealous, I had better hrst call 9 up the spirits of the dear departed ones. To- begin then with the most universally popular man, and one whose loss has been greatly felt, there is Rogers. He left not because he loved Truman less, but because he loved Johns Hop-- I 1 kins more. Poor fellow! I-Ie was not capable of be remaining with us under the constant strain of S-Wilt, being daily called up in mathematics, and of having the dear old Doctor, for three days in each week, look over his glasses at Poley, or Eisey, and say, Now, Mr. Rogers, one at random for you. In the same breath fif we did not have to stop to smother a sobj the name of Crawford Dawes I-Iening, who is now a genius in '87, might -be spoken of. I-Ie will be a great tragedian some day, if he does not become a leading 'fward politician, Coxe, too, has left us and is now hoeing potatoes with the colored race, which he loves so dearly, in the wilds of North Carolina. Thayer, who besides his well-known ability in the direction of foot-ball, can ride a H bicycle, or drive a pony with as much ease as he would look at a panorama, cruelly deserted us at the beginning of junior year, much to the delight of '85 and '87 who then thought that they might stand a chance of defeating us at foot'-ball. But in this they were mistaken as they are in most matters. Two losses that affected the class deeply were those of Valdes, the Spanish Bandit 3 and Tilghman, known to the fair maids of Wilkesbarre as Mr. Clum, the deaf man. 35
