All of the members did we'll, but
those worthy of special mention will
be found below.
The juniors marched in at $40, amid
great applause, and then the president
made the opening address. He well
coined the audience and spoke of how
the juniors had reached their present
position, his speech being full of pretty
illusions End eloque1st earnestness,
and was most creditable to the rising
young man.
George Hedgers' address was not
we'll enough committed, but the
thoughts were most patriotic, and
there was eloquence in every line.
Walter Jennens' address to the SEN
iors was a magnificent effort He COM
plimented the seniors and made a
pleasing pun on the name of each mem
Der Of the class
One of the wittiest addresses of the
evening was that of Harold Nelson
whose hits were all well taken, and
he received great applause.
Florence Terhune's class grafton was
very nicely rendered by the sweet
young lady. 1t showed great depth
of thought, and was given with ease
and grace.
Probably one of the most entertain
ing features of the evening was the
class poem by Olive Jennings. In hel
hand she held Crookes tube. and in
each verse used the X ray, reading q
different brain each time.
Flora Griffin gave the juniors advice
She was a trifle too sarcastic at times
but her address must have been very
instructive to the juniors who pait
great attention in order to learn how
to get safely through the fourth yeal
of work. .fso4 arr
Marion Knickerbocker retaliated in E
very neat address, and then with {
very grave air J. T. Goodwin, presi
dent of the seniors. walked in carrying
some large books and three gigantic
keys tied with the senior colors. II,
put these down and said:
Mr.. President. i am here this even
ing to deliver to you a, sacred trust
ing. When the class of '96 began it
work the road was full of stones anC
thorns, and Roadway was most diff
cult, but through diligence and faitl
the obstacles have all been cleared
away, and the juniors may thank u
for an easier row to hoe. Of course
we know that you and your class hav
not the grace, the intelligence or tn
morality or intellectual attainments o
your predecessors, and that no matte
how many difficulties were taken from
your climb. you coulGonot attain tha
j lofty mental height gained by the elias
Of '96 Still, we intrust you with thi
mission because we have to, for wan
of a, better class. We have done an
/ other work which should take a loa
! from your minds. 1t has been our un
| firing duty to discipline the teachers
/ They were unruly at first See Pre-
fessor Malone smile as he calls t
mind his behavior before we took hir
4 in hand. They were worldly wist
headstrong and impulsive. 1t was
hard struggle, but our task has bee
accomplished, and they are as sui
/ little lambs we see gamboling on tn
! green. They nave been instilled wit
! the milk of human kindness and
trust that the near heat of summe
will not sap it away before you al
tempt to fill our places,
/ ! wish tc say word to you in re
gard to the books. I think that i
those volumes of a strange tongue 20
will find translations between TN
! lines. and in the others all the hel
| necessary to steer you safely to the e
haven. If you do not, it is not tn
fault of the seniors.
Perhaps you will find one or tw
torn, and thumbmarks in all of then
The first will prove the carelessness c
some of the young ladies of the clas
while the thumbmarks will denot
depth of character. Study those thumb
marks, read them, and reflect upo
the character of those who place
them there, that your central aim i
after life may be to have such token
greatness. Some are born gree
(pointing to seniors), some achiev
greatness, and some have greatnes
thrust upon them pointing toward tn
j iuniors).

If you should find thumb mark {
great color, remember that it is tt
mark of Rollin; if you see another wit
rather a smirtch, lay the blame to OIL
noble treasurer, and if you should ST
one or two where a delicate taperin
thumb has imprinted upon the sno
leaf a beauty spot-why. blame it to-
