the Hall Of Bethel was the one for
him.
Then the speaker took up several
individual cases in which sociability
had been over developed. Howard,
who was un-Kemp-t; Bolster who was
studying about Greenleaves; Williams
who was too tall to enter into the
social life of the college.
He closed by saying, Taking into
consideration the two forces which
have been brought to destroy our
social life and the manner in which
the Glass of 1910 has held out, we can
justly say that this class leads all So
cially."
Miss Mabel Eaton had the last toast
on "Our Dreams" The POSTMASTER
said. "Our women, our men, our
faculty, our achievements, our socia-
bility; when you think of putting five
such ingredients like those into pie,
is it not a natural sequence that Our
Dreams should follow?
Now dreams may be divided into
two classes; subjective or purely i'm
aginary, the kind that frequently do
not come true; and objective or
warranted impressions of something
that is most sure to materialiZe. OF
these two, the next speaker is bOund
to develop the latter or objective i'm
pressons of what we propose, as our
futurity In other words. she will
draw for you a picture Of our hopes
and our aspirations"
Miss Eaton gracefully responded t.
this by presenting one of the best
toasts of the day. She skllfully
worked out the pet ambitions of The
class, making a few individual hits
She summarized the work that the
class had done in college and then
went on to show that this work gave
promise of an even more illustriOus
future. Part of the class would win
national fame, part would do labOri-
Gus research work, while a large per
centage Of the goods would achieve
the goal of many women's ambitions,
the blessed state of matrimony. The
entire toast was something in the
form of mild prophecy.
The Glass Ode.
Following Miss Eaton's toast on
Our Dreams" the class rose and sung
the Glass Ode This was written bv
Morton Virgin Bolster and was sung
to the tune of Loves Own Sweet
Song The Glass Ode was as follows:
When the call of summer
To these dear old halls
Comes with sweet insstence
On empty rooms it falls
Now we leave fond memories
or the days gone by,
And in realms of future
Our fancies fly.
Our swift fancies fy
Years of keen enjoyment,
Passing one by one,
Tell us that our labors
Have but just begun.
Closely knit together,
Every loyal heart
Goes into the conflict
To bear his part.
Each to bear his part.
And the pangs of parting
Let us not forget
That in the years before us
Foes must be we'll met.
Though our days together
Are not wholly past
Still our life's great struggle
Must come at last
Must surely come at last
The class then filed out of the chapel
and the audience followed them over to
| Hodge laboratory. Here by the side of
| the class of OBS little ivy n spot had
| been selected for the 1910 marble shield

tinued deposited a spadeful of loan

| a quadrangle and sang the Ivy ode This
| was written by Florence H. Perry and
was sung to music composed by her. The
| Ivy ode was as follows:
