By his death 1900 suffers a greater loss than at any other time during her four years. Sept. 21, '98. We returned to college as Juniors, with the usual amount of self-felt dignity. Now we do not actively participate in class scraps but in secrecy do our best to arrange combative meetings of the freshmen and sophomore classes. Some of us have decided to take it a little easier this year and while in a few cases it may be all right, in others it will prove disastrous, as the records at the ofiice will doubtless show. Mar. 11, '99, Last night our Prom. took place and it easily eclipsed anything that has come before. Every one of us enjoyed it and especially those who did not dance and had to pay that 152.50 assess- ment. June 14, '99, Commencement Day. We have helped the Seniors to entertain and have Watched their ceremonies in order that we may know how to do it next year. We have also parted with many firm friends who are presently to start out on life's journey. Sept. 20, '99. Again we are back upon the campus to begin another and the last year's work, but with a different feeling than we have ever had before. We are Seniors now Zllld must take into our hands tl1e management of most of the college enterprises. While we do this we think about our ow11 situations. What are we fitted to do after we finish the year? Have we received the value of our time and money spent during the last three years? Will another yea1 s learning and that degree be Worth another year's Npluggingu and expense at tl1e Uni- versity of Maine? This is hard to decide. It may be in my case and it may not. How has it been in others? It has been worth it in nearly every case. Yes, I will stay and get the degree. sYf '6Wks 027' ft ' 420252335 -33' 0' gltlnfm. ma 114205. nr-7 1 ' hi'-7'? 75 fa iY 4 43i 51 C ?,,n.e re. v.Crf'x' 'fl 349 fs,tf'M4 Xogww we ,eff ' ' . ,N . 0 xvSzNv,' ' nfryy :QAM 29

beaten by one score in ten innings, but we hope to get the peanuts by strategy. May 13, '97, Tomorrow being Ivy Day, this evening we took a look around the campus to see what the sophs were up to. For some reason or other they expected us and as each class had a goodly number present a lively scrap ensued in which we were easily victorious. We afterwards put an efiigy of '99 in a coffin and sent it, burning, down the Stillwater. Also were lllally of '99 baptized. May 21-27, '97. At camp in Bath. Rained five days out of seven but very enjoyable time withal. Learned from upper classman how to pick up a girl on the street, and formed many acquaintances. One night Tape's uniform was stolen and Bull Sawyer wore it to a card party. After being caught twice, learned l1ow to run guard. Batch caught many running guard as he was stuck on military. Had some tricks played 011 him. Was sorry when I had to come home. June 9, '97. Farmers' Field Day. Had exhibition drill, which was not welcomed, but had a nice time flirting with the pretty country lassies. Cut lots of ice because 1ny uniform was new and the buttons shone. Aug. 30, '97, Came back early to look after freshmen as they had looked after me. Sorry to learn that many of tl1e class would not return to college. Holly showed up early and was found to be a valuable freshman fumigator. Zero suddenly voiced himself prominent. Oct. 5. After three nights hard work we put up the only flag that ever floated over Wingate Hall. Our principal sailors were jack Horner and P. Moore. Not one of the faithful will ever forget those nights and especially l1ow we marched that freshman class, wl1o ca1ne to take it down, over Powell's Hill and tied them to the fence, bound hand and foot. May 9, '98. The President having given a call for volunteers for tl1e Spanish-American War, 1900 did l1er best by sending this day eighteen men to swell the ranks of Uncle Sam's army. Aug. 10, '98, Learned to-day that one of them will never return to his home, Roland S. Scribner, o11e of the most popular men i11 his class. 28
