SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 'ET THE RECORDS in the annals of history pre- sent a likeness between the Senior Class of 1902 and a railway train, for we have been training for many years and under various conductors. While Freshmen our train consisted entirely of refrig- erator cars in order that the green and tender might not spoil. It was a trainload of seventytwo pupils and the track was supplied with cattle guards in order to insure the safety of ' 2 occupants. But notwithstanding the merits of those cold storage cars our number was lessened, and when we pulled out of the 1899 roundhouse our new Conductor had made up an Express Train for his Sophomore occupants. During this year we expressed said train to Columbus and return, and that Sophomore Senate succeeded in expressing a voice on every national subject from HA Bill on Qleomargarinen to a HA National Reformatory School for High School Boysf' As we gathered at the station for the 1900 Mail Train the timetable announced that three males could not join usg HBud Snyder, Fred Phelps and Joe Connor. The first has been acquiring newspaper training in the Missouri Springfield 5 the second has been enjoying life in Raleigh, North Carolina, and to the memory of the de- parted third, let nothing but the kindest regards be tend- ered. Thus we started on our Junior year as a Mail Train 3 but several box-cars were necessarily attached to accom- modate the ponies of the latent students. In the Spring of the year our General Superintendent found it necessary to ask for the resignation of our second- ary Conductor. In his place we received Mr. Martin, and he has since conducted us through the tough station of Geometry, guided us up the grade of History, and inclined us to Economics. Our train was stopped for the Art Exhibit and for the Oratorical Contest and reception. We have been like the boy in the circus ring who keeps eight or-ten balls going in the air at once-as much as could be expected 3 but the little actress at his side keeps right on handing him things -kerosene lamps, carving knives and miscellaneous cut- lery and crockery, and he keeps them going too without losing his happy smile. Thus we started out with algebra and the Profs have kept handing us geometry, geology. botany, physics, latin and chemistry, and it has kept most of us busy to keep them going. About this time Mabel Crawford was seen to resign. take a side track and change her verbal appendix.
