The Seniors V is something to be the largest class to he graduate.1 from the l A. C. That is one of the distinguishing features of the class of 1910. Some of our members entered the school as Preps, and have served seven long years for their sheepskins. In this group we find A. E. Aldous—and what a queer bald headed youngster he was even then; A. B. Ballantvne, who stuck like a leech to his A It C’s from the start: the Stewart brothers, with their hair done up in curl-papers: Eph Burton. whose voice ever soft and low, was then a thin childish treble that piped and whistled in its sounds; Jo Grue—what a stodgy little cherub Joe was; Erastus Peterson, announcing his intention of becoming an “Agriculturalist“ (‘farmer, he calls it now) ; E. A. W yatt, full of the fun and frolic that seven years of books hasn’t done away with: Kay Curtis, the faithful: Dean Peterson, the chap who gets there, and “Kill” Peterson, announcing his intention of going into print; YV. C. Riter. who was just shedding his milk teeth and still wearing knickerbockers. At the beginning of the Sophomore year (). G. Lloyd. W . B. Oldham and . A. Sadler joined the class, bringing with them, respectively, diplomacy, dignity and dramatic talent ( !). In our Junior year Lloyd’s diplomacy had won general recog iiition and he was elected President of the Student Body Association. Our ranks were considerably increased during our Junior year by the addition of several new members. In this galaxy of brilliant stars we count our Pleiades: Helen Bartlett, label Reunion. Veda Dixon, Amelia Manning. Clara Parrish. Susannah Perry and Winifred Smith. The lesser lights were K. C. Allred. C. F. Hirst, A. M. McOmie and Aaron Rasmussen. ur numbers were further augmented in the fall of 1909 by the following members: C. L. Anderson, C. E. Barrett. Asa Billion. Florence Dudley. Odessia Hendricks. Alice Kewlev, O. H. Lee. Amy Leigh. Inez and Lavina Maugham. A. H. Saxer, Nora Some and E. II. Watson, making in all thirty-five members in the class of PRO. A goodly number truly, and yet it’s the quality, rather than the quantity, that makes 11s proud of ourselves. I11 all the activities of the school where leadership has been required, naturalh the Seniors have led—athletics, dramatics, debates, “Student Life” 28

and “Student Body” owe no small measure of their success to the capable and illustrious leadership and assistance of the Seniors. We made a good beginning and a better ending. But you haven’t heard the last or the best of us yet. and wont until we’re alumni and then vou’ll hear what you will hear, so keep your ears open for the report of our fame that is to be! So much by way of a forecast for the future, but we must ask von also to take a look back with us into the past. As Juniors we established two customs in the school whose significance can hardly be estimated. The “Buzzer’’ was our idea. W. C. Riter first got the “bee’’ in his bonnet, and the class elected Orson Lloyd and “Bill Peterson to prepare the hive. I low successfully they did it. with the help of the whole class of course, we only need refer you to the original Buzzer” to determine. The “Junior Prom” was also our idea. A laudable social initiative that we are justly proud of. But of course the “Buzzer was our Big Idea, which we becjueath with our blessing to all junior classes of the institution from now until the end of things mundane. ith this as our final word we leave you in the full consciousness of having acquitted ourselves nobly, and the knowledge that “All’s well that ends well.” 20
