and twenty-six pounds. The average glove measurement is six and one-fourth, running from live and three-fourths to nineg shoe measurement is five, running from three to ten. The majority of the class have blue eyes and dark hair, the latter ranging from a beautiful auburn to a jet black. Perhaps the classes that follow us may not wish to emu- late us in everything, but certainly they may endeavor to do it in scholarship. One of our class has eighteen and three- fifths credits, the largest number anyone has ever succeeded in obtaining. We hope that the future Senior classes may equal if not excel us in this respect. . glhvl.. L-' fs .0 F.-l' 'gr-.

among us a young lady who is especially noted for her deep thought and brilliant ideas, two great athletes and a president who can make a stump speech of any length, at any time, and upon any subject, though it is usually upon parliamentary rules and the orderly conduct of class meetings. We are more fortunate than most classes in that we do not have to go away for our picnics since we have, in our midst, a beautiful Lake, surrounded by a pleasant Wood, which is intersected by a charming little Dell filled with Hazel-brush, Margarets, and a rare species of Rose. Not far distant lives a Miller and a Yoeman. If you desire to see the latter's daughter Helen, whose beauty far surpasses that of Helen of Troy, you may do so, providing you pay the Por- ter a Frank, for carrying your lunch-box. But if you fail to do this he will certainly Dunn you. As a whole we are an exceedingly good looking class, the girls especially, yet the boys, having failed to appreciate this fact, display their gallantry toward junior girls. It has been said that we are perpetual whisperers, that we gather in groups in passing to and from classes and that certain of the gentler sex have a bad habit of going about with their arms around one-another. We have also been ac- cused of having a fgreatj liking for cheese-straws, cookies and fudgesg but this is certainly a sweet trait on us. VVe have been more honored than most classes, for we have had many privileges, had our names in the Chicago papers, and had the honored presence of a teacher at our class meetings. Many have also had the pleasure of taking the door, so that they have formed the following motto: The way to the door is easy and many there be that find it. We are especially interested in Zoology, one member going so far as to put her Finger into the mouth of a crawfish to see if it could bite. The physical characteristics of the class are as follows: The average height is five feet and two and one-fourth inches, ranging from five feet, one inch, to five feet, eleven and one- fourth inches, the weight is one hundred thirty and one- fourth pounds, the gross weight, three thousand one hundred IO

GLASS PDEM DF '04. LEROY LAKE. Teachers, classmates, kind friends here, Welve come, alas, to part. What use is there to hide the tear VVe fain would cover up with cheer, When pain lies in the heart. There is no word quite like Ugood-bye, Though easy it may seem, Behind us now our school days lie, VVith laughter strewn, a smile, a sigh, Before the dim unseen. These rooms within whose ample walls We've met for work or pleasures, These friends and teachers, books and hal When old years beckon and memory calls, Will then be counted treasures. And other times when we had come To hold our meetings gay, When there we raised our business hum, Which was objected lo by some, Welll think ot that some day. Oh memory fond, where would you end Could you but hold your swavl Your archers fast the arrows send, Which tell of deeds weld like to mend, But now have flown away. Oh yes! These things are all gone by, No more we'll have these troubles, But now experience welll try On dreams that soar, perhaps, too high, Like shining sunlit bubbles. I2
