20 THE BOMB. the glorious Fourth, with its attending festivities, was upon us, and we heard, as cadets, for the first time, the sweet, sad notes of Auld Lang Syne, which, wafted upon the sultry, oppressive atmosphere of that well- remembered July day, filled us with glorious expectations of our coming vacation. Anticipation made way for reality, and, in course of time, the present was the past, and we found ourselves once more within the battle-scarred walls of old V. M. I. But the old familiar reveille found many names unanswered, many faces gone. Some remained away be- cause they didn ' t care to return, some because they couldn ' t. The vacant places were more than filled by the accessions made from the ranks of the new cadets. During the recent revival at the Institute, some o ' four class-mates professed religion, but the majority, we are sorry to state, are still doing business at the old stand. A reasonable share of honors, literary, military and athletic, has fallen to the portion of ' 87, and there is no reason why we can ' t afford to rest on our laurels, complacently stroke our manly chins and cogitate upon the brilliant record of the class we love so well. R. U. Culberson, Historian.
