History of Senior Class Four years have rolled quietly by since wc came here; and yet it seems but yesterday. Surely it has not been so long since wc easily defeated the Sophs in a well-fought cane rush. The Freshmen, too, when wc had risen to the exalted position of Sophomore, felt the weight of our arm. These matters, though of minor importance, were the beginning of that energy and of that college and class spirit which have characterized the Class of '09. Preeminence in the class room has been our object,—athletics our pastime,—Literary So- cieties. a source of pleasure and delight. And now we are about to part. Each is about to go out into the world. Some will gain a livelihood by pursuing engineering lines of work, others will apply themselves to commercial affairs, while a few, who love the odor of the new-mown hay, and to whom the song of the whip-poor-will and the dull thug of the house-wife's churn arc but music, will secure inde- pendence by cultivating the soil of their mother earth. But no matter what each does, he may rest assured that his prosperity will be the happiness of all the others, and his misfortune will be the displeasure of his fellow classmen.
