Senior Class History listand on the- eve of ourgraduation and 1 ok with critical eye over the past to our Freshman «lays. It was in September, 1903, when our ckt's first came together. Many of the members cattle fresh from the rural districts, and you can imagine what stout, robust fellows we were. Days of peacefulness and serenity prevailed. Me had a smooth sea to sail on until the title of the Class of ! •; struck us; this turned our ship a little, but we sailed on to the end of our Freshman year. The second year brought some new faces among our number, while a few of the old familiar ones had disappeared. There were many deeds in our Sophomore year, some which we might well boast of. others we wish were forgotten. Wc marched on. a strongly united body, into the third year's work. Having passed to the station of upper classmen, we put aside our pugilistic tendencies and became advisers instead i doors. From this time we led a more strenuous life: new battles presented themselves. Many of us were able to overcome the grave difficulties, while titers, although few in number, being weighed in the balance, were found wanting. The end of our college days is rapidly approaching. It is necessary that we prove ourselves worthy of the honor that is soon to Ik- bestowed upon us. In a few days the place so dear to each one of us will have almost faded from our memory, and we will have stepped out and tasted of life's realities. We have some things to regret, but many more things the recollection of which shall live forever in the hearts of the individual members. Me have enjoyed hours of profitable social intercourse with one another. Me have received much valuable information front our professors, but the idea that soon we must become our own instructors i difficult to conceive. M'e have in our class representatives for nearly every profession in life. M e hope each one will succeed in his vocation. and look hack u| on those dear, dead days beyond recall with fondest memories and pleasing recollections, still cherishing those lofty ideals wc set up as Freshmen, and striving harder than ever before to effect tltcir complete realization. The many other members of our class, those who have embarked upon the perilous sea of matrimony, those who have taken shelter behind other walls of learning, those who have chosen to follow in the march of industrial progress, we cannot hut wish them success. May they never forget their old classmates at LTsinus. May they hold dear the remembrances of the associations formed there; may they live usefully ami happily, being an honor to the class to which they once belonged. Our college days are over, and tints closes the history of the class. As the sun. scattering the mists of morn, trium phantlv finishes his course and leaves the scenes of his daily lal ors on the approach of evening's dew, just so wc relinquish the scenes of our college life. 14 Historian'.
