TEE SENIOR GLASS OF sHEFF.


 The Class Book of 's9 shef. Appears To-Day Many Interesting Features Which Distinguish xhe Class Fron Its Predecessors and Make It Superior to All Time.
 The class book of 's9 s. appears to-day and contains many very interesting and enter taining facts about the class. The editors were Messrs. Curtis, Stone and Morrison. In the front of the book is the class picture taken on the steps of North Sheffield hall. The reading matter opens with @ full history
 of the class from the beginning of the fresh- man year up to the present time. This his- tory is written up in 8 humorous style and
 will recall to all the members of the class
 many incidents probably long since for gotten. Next comes one of the new addi-
 tions, "Who we are." This consists in giv-
 ing under each members name quotation
 supposed to describe him as he is known to
 his class. Some of these quotations are very
 apt and all of them size up the men very we'll.
 In the matter of antiquity, Eniajian leads Ed Morrison stands at the other end with
 19 years, months, 6 days.
 Meigs weighs 196 pounds and is the heav-
 fest man in the class, while Robinson is the
 lightest with 130 pounds to his credit. Meigs
 also takes the prize for tsllest man at feet,
 1A inches: The other extreme in longitude
 goes to Haight, feet, inches. Aoen and
 Wheeler have respectfully the largest and
 smallest clalf, IT inches and 1314 inches,
 while Eward Day poses as the man
 of mighty muscle with 13 3-4

 The aggregate measurements of the class
 afford some startling figures. Their total
 weight is five tons, 800 pounds, and the age
 bined height is 4O3 feet, il 1-2 inches.
 The votes of the class for the beauty,
 bright man, homeliest, dude and other char
 acteristics are quite varied. The men reeeiv-
 ing the largest number of votes are as fol-
 lows: For the man with the most unadulter-
 ated nerve, Painter receives thirty votes, for
 class dig, Ellsworth leads; for the most con-
 ceit, Read gets twenty-five votes, while
 Painter receives nine votes for the homellest
 man; G. Burroughs and Moen are tied for
 first place for the handsomest man; W. B.
 Morrison receives eleven votes for the bright-
 est man, and Painter leads for class dude
 and the man "who thinks himself the hand
 somest.'' The class now comprises 70 men,
 having lost 3S men during the three years of
 It's existence, 26 dynamics, 1T eiyils, 15 se
 lects, chemises and biologists.
 We have some real pretty noses. Among them are nine Roman and eight Grecian. Several have 'styles of their own," others are aeuiline, pug, red, Californian and some
 don't know.
 Our complexions vary about as widely. We
 have twenty-one blondes and only seven
 brunettes. The rest are "medium,'' ''mix- Ferrey), "freekled," (McFarland), 'sunder-
 done," (Newberry), smooth, pink and
 white,n Rianhard) ''so, so," (verrilD, "rose-
 ate," (Wright).
 We all shave and have been at it for years.
 One began Eat thirteen;n' another "when
 gave out," (Allen). Klock slaves when he
 sheafer, 'all the time.s only twenty men
 claim moustaches The The, color is: of :.. two brown, of two Dlack, one straW
 has, has found one s'under the s'micro- scope, the color hasn't yet been discovered" Clawson has 'fa beauty blonde," and Dilling ham says "my friends are of one opinion and I of another. Color in doubt" Bailey says ''smooth," while Haight claims his is ''del- icate point with him." Howard comes out with sswell, I should say so," and Rene ''you bet'' The Selects will understand Stump; when he says ''smooth airs" Arthur Day calls his faded. Since Spencer left and Nor rison, Harry Hall and Breeze have sacrificed theirs to the spring, we have no full boards. Alexander ''don't want to look fool," and about eight say they can't rival Spencer or they would, while as many more can't if they wood. Clawson sometimes has "w h1s- kers on his teeth"
 Of the class the class poet sings: 'swhen the class of 9l shall have disappeared from
 When faculty give sheepskiDs the class of 92 And when the juniors, '93, their wicked arts com The freshmen then will read the fame of glorious 'S9''
 Eight of us say ito make success of life" is their highest aim. Four want to graduate from Shelf. Bailey wants a charming wife; five others to make other people happy. New berry wants badly ito sing low B" and Aoen would like ito clear the bar at six feet five inches" (record six feet four inches now). Three want to get "Ph. B." and one wants II Lee" and Josh says:

 the Golden Rule, "be railroad director" Give @ peaceful peaceable, respectable | life," (Ed. Day), and t'equal Ed. Read"
 Forty-three are Americans by birth. There I are also six Yankees. Ed Day says he's I ''Hoosier." Wilson is Scotch -Kentuoki- l an." Wheeler calls himself "Canadian- | Irish" Spencer says he is an "I pcle Sam- ! ite."
