Porter responded very happily, speak
ing of the trials and tribulations, the
triumphs and defeats of the departing
class. He spoke of their high ambi-
tions and lofty aspirations when they
entered college as freshmen and how

hopes and ambitions realized, while
others were not so successful. But all,
he said, cams more and more to feel

The Profs" was the subject allotted
to G.. S. Gibbs, 'O2. In a facetious
vein he considered it, gibe and jest and
anecdote following SO close one upon
another that the banqueters were kept
convulsed with laughter.
S. F. Rigby, SO. told about what be-
fell him in the days when 1 was

style.

prophetic eye and explained how she
would lord it over the juniors and keep
a friendly eye out for the freshmen of
that delectable time to come.

responding to the toast, THE Chroni-

weekly as "a many headed dragon,
huge mouthed, always greedy for copy,
not so particular as to quality. satisfied
with even the productions of miniature
verdant freshmen" AS editor-in-chief
of the paper she had had plenty of OPP
portunities to experience all the trials
and all the joys of actual journalism,
and she told many droll and laughable
anecdotes that had come to her notice
during her control of its fortunes.

distinction of being at once a member
of the board of university regents and
one of the graduating class, spoke of

more earnest and sober phases of col
lege life, its intellectual advantages
and enrolling influences and at the
conclusion of her address a silent toast
was drunk to the university by all the
banoueters.
The "Eccentricities' of the members
of the two classes fell to the lot of Miss
Lucille Hewett, '02. and in witty style
she hit off all their faults and foihles
and idiosyncracies. Her epigrams at
the expense of her mates bore no sting,
however. and peals of laughter followed
each shaft of humor and well aimed
thrust.
