115132 ilntzrpres 31 THE SENIORS History, with all her volumes vast, Hath but one page. -Byron. II Swift and unrelenting time is rapidly bringing to a close the college days of '06, A few more weeks and we shall have passed out from Alma lVlater's protecting walls to take our place in the world of men. With the parting which we face there enters a spirit of sadness, for never have we spent happier or more profitable days than those at college. But the parting must come and '06 will leave dear old Rochester with pleas- ant recollections and a record worthy to be emulated by all classes. We are not the only class which the college has ever sheltered, but no predecessor has been able to compile records comparable in glory to those of '06. Naturally we have made errorsg most men do. It was not, perhaps, right for us to set up a high standard of clean politics in our Freshman year, only to bowl it over with a rush when Senior elections came. Possibly we have done wrong in failing to take Sheddie's jokes and songs seriously. It may have been disrespectful of '06 to interfere with the banquet of '05 at Canandaigua, but we were younger then. It was after maturing and coming to the ranks of upper classmen that 1906 began to show its true merit and in all departments of college life its influence was felt. Since we organized the under-class rushes, it is no longer necessary for Prexy to wield a hymn book in his efforts to separate the dogs of war. The present Senior Class has helped him thus in his official duties. And see what the Faculty thinks ofus! Uncle Bill openly announces that we have no further need of his services and appoints Mc- Dowell to conduct the class in Roman Law. Klein and Paulus Meyers are ever ready to teach Forbes what he does not know about Ethicsg in fact, Klein can help out any department in this respect. Oratorically speaking, l906 has met with success. From the time when the Al- ling prizes for debate were first offered, it had seemed unwritten law that all prizes should go to the Senior Class. Here again 1906 sprang a surprise when Craigie took the first prize from the Seniors last June. Dramatics, Soph-Joll, banquets and a splendid Junior Prom, have placed us as leaders among the classes in a social line. ln this respect we have been especially aided by Searle, our class fusser, the delight of the co-eds. Our athletic records speak for themselves and we leave them as a mark to which future classes may strive to attain. So much for deeds accomplished and laurels won. The class of I906 must soon face the busy and ever-grinding world-there to make practical the theories learned in College. With us, we shall take tender recollections of fellowship in l906 and mem- bership in the student body of Rochester. Behind us we would leave a word of exhor- tation to the younger classes. Do your work well, strive to emulate the achievements of l906, and you will be a permanent glory to your Alma Mater.
