lor girls. The manner In which the many
varied and difficult movement were gone
through, being especially praiseworty on
account of their concerted action. The
young ladies taking part were: Misses EN-
mitt, McCuns, Hanna, Ready, Buchanan,
Loenberger, Willis and McCune.
Both preceding and following the club
swinging piano solos were rendered by Miss
! Minnie Hodes, The other by Miss Hortense
Greffoz. Each selection was well executed.
Mr. Milton o. Stemmler's oration was one
of the features of the evening. His style of
handling the suhject showed him to be a
master of the art. The Value of Self
reliance" was MIR. Stemmler's subject. He
gave numerous examples of slf-reliant and
self-made men. I'VE are indebted to the
advancement of civilization through the self
reliant man. Before excellence, character
must be formed. To form character we
must have self-reliance Nature is full of
possibilities, which open to the student. a
good motto for the student is: ttWhat man
has done can be excelIed by man." His
words were clear aud we'll chosen, and his
gestures came in the right place.
Miss Olive Hamilton, representing the
senior class, made the senior bequests to Mr.
Don Ray, of the janiors. Miss Hamiton's g
piece was well written, but she could have
improved on it by memorizingi it. She has
a clear, sweet voice which could be heard
distinctly. She spoke of the first glimpse Of
the world that now opened before the class
But before stepping out into the world
wished to leave some touching little memen-
tos for the junior class to keep trustfully
and faithfully. Mr.. Don Ray received the
beauests, and made very neat little speech
in response. He spoke Of the dignity and
responsibility which had now fallen ON the
juniors of 95 but promised to observe the
wishes expressed by Miss Hamilton, ever
faithfully and well.
The Cadet Band favored the audience
with selection played in very satisfac-
tory manner.
A fancy drill by l6 boys was very anus
ing. They represented spooks, and after
performing numerous grotesque maneuvers
on the stage with grace, freedom and pre-
cision that had to be seen to be appreciated,
they one by one disappeared through trap
door in the center of the stage, and clark
ness once more reigned supreme
This class song finished the exercises. 1t
was written by Mr.. Chas. Chandler, and
was sung by the entire class, in a lively,
rollicking manner.
SENIOR CLASS SONG.
When as grave and verdant Freshmen
On this campus first we came,
sect off the grass !'' said the professor,
And, of course, we did that same.
CHORUS
We were Freshmen, now we're Seniors;
Fresh We were, but salted now:
We have studied every 'ology;
Learned to smile and do bow.
So the years have fitted onward
Til at last the end has come,
And as wild and jolly Seniors
We will leave our college fun. CHo.-
Dentler, Bristow, Bsrchtold. Horner,
Letcher, French, Pernot and Shaw;
Washburn, Smell, Bloss, Coote, Craig. Covell,
All do now their power withdraw. CHo.-
Some will go to Yale or Stanford, f>--
Others to their homes will pass,
Some to badger holes and sagsbrush,
More, perhaps, will 60 to grass. CHo.-
W hen we come again together,
Our vicennial to pass,
Wives and children all included,
Won't we be jolly class CHo.
As a good night the class gave vent to
their ear-splitting yell: 'A. B. G., x. w.
95 s of the o. A. c."
Preceding the senior entertainment was
battalion review and dress parade. The
companies made a splendid showing, dis
playing the results of Lieut.. Dentler's train
ing to good advantage.
Following is list of the gr aduating class
