enjoyed by the Junior boys, and, oh, the delights of those suppers! At each time, on being escorted to the table, a period of silence seemed to reign, then a feeling of rapture crept over the Juniors, as they beheld before them such things as would delight the soul even of an epicurean. Their eyes began to sparkle, mouths began to water, and soon the supper began. N ow, forcible wit flashed, merry puns flew, all intermingled with bits of passing humor. In the meantime, everybody, with all possible civility, was gratifying his eager appetite, and adding that pleasure to his feeble being which can come only from "something good to eat." The toast was responded to by our president, and soon the happy Juniors were on their way to the College. Many more events have taken place among us, but the want of space precludes any mention of them. But under this sea of joyousness and mirth there flows the current of earn- estness and sincerity which colors and gives expression to our College life. We love sport, we delight in fun, yet these qualities have never crowded out our spirit of earnestness, nor overpowered our real object in life. vVe try to make all departments of College life our domain, and we feel by doing it that we can add prominence to our College career and power to our future life. Another year has passed; a record for another collegiate season has been made. And now we can see the pleasures, and hardships, too, of the Senior Year shining bright in the distance. In a short time we will be busy with the work of our last year at College. After passing through such a happy and useful year as the Junior Year, we look to our Senior Year only with gladness, and feel that we can make it pleasant and profitable. HISTORIAN. 82
