the barbaric hordes of ’9s was something from which the boldest might well shrink. We had mathematicians among us, but none dared attempt compute the footpounds of energy spent in raising water to the upper story of Oak Hall, or the cubic liters of gas generated by means of our applica- tion of the formula H..SOi+H.O+FrS=Fl.SO,-f H20+H2$. What brain but that of a ’97 man would have conceived the brilliant scheme of luring some of the “ brashest of our pupils to the summit of the water tower, removing the ladder and then throwing bouquets of old tomatoes to show our appreciation of their slack rope performance. We even gave them an encore, but they did not respond. Of our base-ball and foot-ball triumphs we will only say that we always preferred to secure peanuts, etc., by the fine arts of strategy rather than by the brute force of conquest. With a sad heart we turned over our imperfectly educated prodigies for whom we had done all that mortals could do, and prepared to settle down to the life of dignified Juniors. That year passed swiftly and pleasantly. Our usual class-room success attended us, and from an exalted position we had the pleasure of watching the two lower classes struggle for supremacy, maintaining in the meantime an attitude of dignified impartiality. Our Junior Promenade was pronounced to be the best ever held and shed additional lustre upon this already glorious class, while the Junior themes at Commencement passed off with equal success. Senior year is now nearly completed, and we are beginning to realize that our time as undergraduates is limited. We have guided Maine State’s little army and have always kept up the traditions of the College. Time has, indeed, flown quickly for us, and as we stand on the threshold of life it seems hardly possible that we have been here almost four years. 'Pilings have prospered for M. S. C. since we entered, and without leaving the ways of the past, she has passed on to a higher and broader future. May like success ever attend our dear Alma Mater and the members of '97. 21
