26 OLLA PODRIDA Senior History UR natural modesty forbids our entering into any extravagant account of our college life, and yet, we must be honest. Four years ago, when this sylvan scene first became the theatre of our activities, we were called, beside other things, the smallest class of recent years. We have continued to grow smaller in numbers, but big with the qualities of manliness. It is unseemly in Seniors to boast of their achievements, but we are justly proud of our victories in athletics and debate. The reorganization of the College Body, with all the good it indicates for Wesleyan, the Jun- ior Drarnatics and the Sophomore Hop are examples of our intelligent and enthusiastic interest for the welfare of old Wesleyan. We cannot say that we are content, for we see many things that better men could have done better, and yet, some things that better men have not done so well. If we have pleased you as much as you have pleased us we are happy, though many of us, as we answer this last curtain call, can say with Thackeray, Ah, Vanitas Vanitaturn! which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire, or, having it, is satisfied? Come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out.
