Bible Songs in the Chapel seats, and the newly l'resc-ood walls of the lliadies' llall. Space would not permit an enumeration ol' all their mischievious exploits, but this sample will sufiice to prove that the class of ,IW has certainly done its share toward preventing the College lite from becoming to any degree monotonous. However, the time and energy of the class of '07 has not been spent altogether in the pursuit of that which lasts only for the moment. In foot-ball, basket-ball, and base-ball they have always been generously represented. In their wonderful Sophomore year the entire line-up of the ,varsity live hailed from their ranks, and, while their representation on the other teams has not always been so great, they have invariably furnished a player or two and supplemented that with a goodly crowd of the noisiest kind of rooters at every intercollegiate contest. In addition to this, if you are looking for an essayist, a deelaimer, an orator, or a debater, your search will be greatly shortened if you look without further delay among the members of this class where personages of rare talent in any of these lines have come to be indeed common. New that they are drawing near the c-lose of their college course, man-y may be inclined to think that they should be glad ol the laet that their school-days at West- minster are ended. But such is not the case. Go to that fellow sitting in the front corner of the chapel, wearing a cap and gown, and ask him it it does not give him pleasure to know that he is soon to graduate. To your surprise he will answer that it does not. I-Ie thought he would be glad once. When he came to New Wilmington as a prep, and thought of the long years of work before he could claim a diploma he felt as though he could scarcely wait so long. Iflis heart used to thrill with antici- pation when eaeh year he saw the college president handing out those rolls of sheep- skin under the maple trees by the gym. Then that seemed to him the highest goal of life, but now that he has watched it several times it appears to him in a different light. He has grown to love those old maple trees, the old college halls, the science buildings, Furnace Hill, Neshannock-creek, the rail-road, and the quiet little town. The very sight of them now reminds him that he must soon depart. Something rises and falls within his breast and he strives in vain to repress it. If a comrade slaps him on the shoulder and asks him, why he looks so solemn, he immediately bursts into a laugh and replies: f'Oh, nothing, I was just thinkingf' I l ' '07 X tvs fn 4.
