HE Class of 1903 has gone but a short distance on its jour- ney on that railroad extending from Ignorance to Knowl- edge and with but four stations, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, and yet so far it has shown no lack of energy or ability, and to all appearances it has sufhcient ffsandw for the more difficult up-grades. The first jolt to this express of 1903 was occasioned by its coupling and the selection of a locomotive, which caused much disturbance and disorder on the slow Freight which had started some time before, and had ust reached the second station. How- ever the Unlimited in Every Grace and Charm which was at the third station backed down upon the freight and cleared it from the track to give 1903 a fair start on its journey. Midway in its trip, between the first two stations, a terrible obstacle loomed up, and it was discove1'ed that there had been a landslide of Examination Mountain so severe that the track was entirely blocked and it was feared that the Express might not be able to pass, but when all the occupants took up their shovels and commenced to dig the entire mountain was soon cleared away. A little further on the journey two necessary adjuncts were provided for this Express of 19035 spy glasses in order to glance into the slow freight ahead and a dining car in which to have a banquet. The spy glasses were found to be of the best quality but as the brakeman had forgotten the ear trumpet which should accompany these they were of no avail in ascertaining the cargo of the freight. The dining car, however, was all that could be desired in every Way, being handsomely decorated in silver and cardinal, and hav- ing a bouquet of red carnations on every table, the menu was elaborate and the viands delicious. The travelers were disturbed for a moment by a torpedo dropped on the track by the freight, this exploding caused the lights to be extinguished but they were soon relighted and 1903 went rattlingvmerrily on, over its smooth road-bed. The Express of 1903 has still a long journey ahead, before it gains the terminus but it will keep firmly in the track on its straight course, grinding all obstacles under its wheels. The light from its engine will burn with a steady glow illuminating the road for lonely pedestrians while the sparks fly upward Ad Astra. T0
