Senior Class Prfii.itml, I 'it - Prtthitml, Stertiary, Treasmrtr% Color, . . . Waltkn J. Cokdy . . Wilms K. Switxkk . . . Bkktiia Hrwitt . . . Gkokgk Prick Purple. The classes that have gone before us. whose brilliant history has apjwared in other Qi'ivkrs, have enumerated their victories won and sung loud and long the greatness of their class. Altho we have had great days and won great victories, it is not of these that we shall write, but of the sterling worth of the class. The saying, “Still waters run deep.” can well be applied to the class of 1903. It is a well-balanced class, one in which it is safe to “let the wise years decide.” one which is always ready to meet any emergency in an able manner. For in our midst we have Lowe, the evolutionist, whose stream of consciousness ever turned to ‘‘biology,” even in the discussion of the most sublime characters of Shakespeare and Milton; Ilcwitt and Hardgrovc. the humorists, are the Rosalind and Jacques of the class of 1903; Steinfeldt, the orator whose eloquence .and dignity have won the strongest “Will in school: Frank Cordy, the index of self-control, whose disciplinary power not only can quell the disorderly students, but is realized by the talkative tutors of our force: Switzer, Thayer, and Crain, the debaters, their names as such will go down in history with Clary, Webster, and Havne; the jxxjts, Swan, whose rhythmic measures are sung with those of Milton, and Schoenwetter, whose tender heart-strings are touched to sentiment by the emotional power of music: and musicians, too, we have a few, Crain. Heckman. Jones. Childs. Blackman, and Spratt. from whose harmony—wonderful power—this mangiticent class began. There are many others equally well renowned, but to name them would mean to call the roll of the whole class. The record of the class has lx en one of efficient preparation for service. With such a record in the past, what will the future Ik ? We will leave this to be told bv the class prophet. 30
