I At the beginning of our junior year we had only sixty members. Realizing the dignity of upper classmen we applied ourselves more diligently to practical pursuits than we had done in former years. Hal Kneeland developed into a phenomenal baseball pitcher; Freddy Holmes found a precious moquet at Stillwater; Medder took an honor course in Physics; Toot became a lady-killer; Chad raised a moustache; Durgan invented new plays for the football team, and saved the honor of the college by fooling the Colby quarterback ; Pa decided to study for the ministry ; Frank Pressy and Allie Watson took to gambling ; and Farrington got married. All this took time and the year was well advanced before we realized it. Our Junior Prom, was all that could be desired and our Prism received much comment. Again we were successful in athletics, winning the class meet easily, and a few days later our third year of college life was over. This year we have taken up our duties with all our old time deter- mination. Five seniors played on the football team which won the championship of the State, and nearly all are as actively engaged in their work as though they were still freshmen and expected to “ plug.” Spud, the dancing master, is conducting a series of assemblies; A1 Wheeler is still attending recitations, though on his hard day he has Polycon and chapel; Hill Silver is devoting himself to sport since making the Phi Kappa Phi ; and Dutch Davis is making his debut. That the class is a very desirable one may be seen by the large number that are hovering on one side or the other of the matrimonial brink. The effect of so much hovering is evident in several of the members. Ilenry Cole, the class sport, is trying to reform; Wes Elliott knows all about the price of housekeeping as compared with boarding; Foster is wearing a new clean sweater ; Bill Thombs has left off using tobacco; and Fessenden and Jim Butman are designing a double tenement house. The time is passing quickly ; in a few months more comes the graduation of this illustrious class and then — we leave our reader to judge the rest. As a class we have striven to uphold and elevate the college and its interests, and after we have been called to our different ways in life may our dearly beloved Alma Mater keep warm in her breast a love for her departed children who compose the class of 1902. 34
