In assuming our new rank, ’97 has not been worldly wise as the name implies, but on the contrary, is inclined to be reserved, conducting herself with a bearing and a modesty becoming her station and her dignity—this our passport to the hearts and the respect of our fellow students. Yet to say that we are no graveyard’s people sufficiently characterizes the class of '97. We stand fairly in our classes, indeed, while sojourning at wisdom’s fount, we did intend to study. . Often we meet in grand council and discuss the unfortunate fate of Jack or Gill “ poor fellows,” but they need not our sympathies ; their health improved and now they are no longer with us. The white and the green. What a world of pleasant memories rush across our mind at the utterance of those two magic words ! In fact, ‘97 retains much of its butterfly and grasshopper nature, letter enigma, D. S. If anyone does not know the interpretation of D. S., remain ignorant no longer, but even bear in mind that Dainty Steps is the pass-word to the festive board of Sophomore Receptions. At the outset the class appeciated that to unite meant to succeed and that by uniting a common interest would nourish budding affections into the fuller bloom of friendship. But now many have gone and few are left us. In this respect ’97, though a gay and jolly class, mourns the loss of absent ones seeking fortune elsewhere, while it cherishes with maternal tenderness the ever-increasing bonds of friendship, peculiar boon of heaven.” “Directress of the brave and just. O guide us through life’s darksome way! And let the tortures of mistrust On selfish bosoms only prey.” I.ead on, brave class, continue thus, and may your star be an ever rising one.— A shout, a waving of hands, a flourish, and Casabianca is no more.
