We have the largest class enrollment and have strived to make it the best class. VVe have good characters which are as follows: Tom, who always deals fair with his associates. A big Forrest is in demand, as valuable timber is scarce. William the Silent, like all other calms, we could not do without him, One Superintendent who Fosters well. Colonel Clark keeps France from intruding with the help of the Marshal Temple, though small, is considered highest. This institution is laden with a heavy Kost. but we will have enough doug long as we have Gold and Millers to exceed the expense. VVe have a lengthy class, two Miles at least--just count the inches. We also have a popular song represented: Has anybody here seen Kellv? Robins on the sweet meats live. NVe will have religion as long as we have Kirks and Sextons. Gale, although stormy, makes a great hit in the band. B. M. '14 A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market. 4Lamb.
