11 '; our class has learned the philosophy of true trust. The greatest nattlre is trust. Birds build their nests not knowing what the shall bring, peasants sow their seed expecting a harvest, and states- 6, a nation hoping for the development of their ideas. We trust our 8 trust society, and sometimes we must trust even the generally i formulae of science. Yet this trust is not the blind belief that has i' ity in chains for so long. We believe no man because of his we'believe no teaching without reasons, this is certainly not our ts.

13 developed, that all ambitious individuality is sacrificed before the altar of elass-interest. . Henry Teigan acquired the highest ttpost-Offieeil the Classics can bestow, as he is our last president. He very early distinguished himself for his wide literary educatien, eloquent speaking, and admiration for Bryan. We earn- estly hoped to make an evolutionist of him, but evidently that tican7t be didf, Mr. Marsh is our last Viee-president, and shows himself to be a master of parliamentary procedure by so successfully conducting our Classic, coun- ciling senate. He is certainly worthy of the friendship and respect of every Classic. Miss Covell more than credibly fills the oflice 0f secretary. She served on several important committees, and her opinion carried the class in many a spirited argument. Her true worth may easily be known since her name is lirst 0n the professors roll-book. Miss Neighbors is the financier 0f the class, and our last treasurer. She very seldom broke the order of Latin translating, and this is enough to say for the greatest Classic, and a sure evidence of class-loyalty. Dixie sent a delegate of whom she need not be ashamed. Mr. Bressler was chosen, unanimously, as class orator. It became well known to everyone that he always succeeds in everything he undertakes, show- ing marked ability in music, athletics and general culture. This is the logical place to mention Miss Leech, our class prophet. She was regarded as the Ruby 0f the class, and demonstrated her ability to over- come great mental problems by giving an interesting discussion of a weighty question in metaphysics and logic. When a great throng is to be addressed on a momentous occasion and when the name and honor of the Classics, and consequently 0f the university, are at stake, all eyes turn to Mr. Zaugg. He is our toast-respondent, than whom there will be no greater at the commencement banquet. A recognized leader in the class, he is a student of great and diverse abilitieswa regular John D. Providence tKyJ sent us a great poet from the South to write a class poem. Everyone could judge his mental ability from first sight, and his fam- ous speech on ttSelf,7 certified our judgments. For a while after he had his head shaved, his appearance was anything but poetic, and his ancestry of a million years could be Visualized. N0, Elliott, We are not speaking of Adam. Our class editor, Martin Teigan, is a recognized political leader, and his wise, honorable behavior kept things from getting ttrotten in Denmark,,, even making politics pure. He also served as our second viee-president. The other delegate from the extreme south was chosen as 0111 third
