And now for some of the individual talent of our class. The first thing that comes to my ear is the musical notes of some stray member of the Glee Club, wafted to me from the further end of Sophomore Hall. How it fills you with a desire to be some place else and a longing for home! How you would like to have his company just long enough to get rid of it, by gently tossing him from the hall window-not to hurt him, but to merely 'lower his tone. But truly, we have some very good musicians among us. Several of our boys are members of the College Glee Club, one of whom siugs falsetto, and another second tenor. The Y. M. C. A. organist is also a '95 man. We have so little chance of learning what our fairer members can do-but even now, sitting in the library, I hear the melodious strains of some fair damsel's voice, gently floating toward me fr0111 the hall of celestial beings, and from the richness and fullness of tone, I fancy it is none other than a '95's. l\Iethinks T can all but see her with her music sheet before her, gently tapping time with a broom-stick, unti l a door suddenly opens and all has vanished, save the shadow all the floor. If you had but chanced to enter the sanctum of the Editor-in-Chief of the College monthly for the term '92-'93, you would have been in none other than the room of a member of '95. Great success attended him in this as in everything else, so that now he is regarded as one of the ideals of the college in this line of work. And at the present time one of our Sophomore girls is a member of the staff. Now, while the twilight is approaching and the evening is fast drawing near, the writer would quietly and without flourish, lay aside his pen and close his imperfect history of the class of '95. 'Whether it is entirely accurate, we will not say; but leaving the inferencc to be drawn by the reader that we are not wholly bad and possessed of many good traits-chief among which are the strong attachment which the one bears to the other, and the indissoluble bond which will remain intact as we shall grow older and enter the plain upon the dizzy heights of the promised land of Seniordom ahead-we will kindly bid the reader adieu, reminding him that if he seeks perfection he will not find it in us, but that if he is looking for honest imper- fections and unrewarded zeal, let him "give his days and nights" to the study of beings not inhabitants of this globe, and natures not prone to the ills of the flesh.
