Senior Class Mistov TMl ' ' , full of 1900, marks an epoch in the history of the world. With it passed away a century that has meant more for the progress of the world, than any previous age. It is with a feeling of sorrow, that we witness the declining days of such a prosperous age ; for it is so much like the last days of a great and good man ' s life. That fall even the trees and plants of the field seemed to be mourning as their leaves faded, and their seed fell to the ground to be seen no more, till the old century had passed away. But all nature provides for the future. The oak dies not till it has ]ilanted its acorn. To-day paves the way for to-morrow. Every century ushers in the forces which move the next, and the Nineteenth Century was no exception. Blessed with such a record of progress in invention, si iem e, literature and men, it foresaw the needs of the coming age and, consei|uently. in its declining days began to charter trains bound for Wake Forest, and to i)uur into the college the men, who were to take the lead in the Twentieth Century. The men who met the trains that fall, .saw nothing unusual in the countenances of those newish ; but there was something unusual in them. Deep in their souls, burned a desire to revolutionize the world, and resting u|)on their .shoulders, was the responsibility for the progress of the Twentieth Century. They were to make their age what, in- deed, it should lie. Meaning business and having no time to lose, they at once set about their work. Having learned that all the rooms in the laboratory were taken, they secured other places. The ne. t thing, was to organize a base ball team. One over-energetic member of the class proceeded at once to take names of those, who wished to play. It was no trouble to get names. Soon he had his eighteen enrolled. But, poor fellow ! his game was lost. When he attcmiited to muster out his team, nobody knew the men he had enrolled. What a cruel trie k for the old men, to have enrolled under assumed names ! But ours was not a class to be outdone. We had been pre[ ared where the motto was : — If at first you don ' t .succeed — Try, try again. Vet we plainly saw that we must make a change or be defeated in our plans. In the meantime the upper classes met and organized, and we at once saw wherein lay our
