feasts. It explains why we are so prominent. Because we always have ., good understandings." . .-\S a class we have ever taken our place in the forefront, both in the in- tellectual and athletic spheres of out college. This statement has been confirmed by our noble teacher in Psychology, who said : "The 1903 Class is the beet junior class I ever taught." In the athletic sphere we still main- tain our coveted position. \\'e are the leaders in the athletic contests held in the Gyrunasium, anc1 "0111' Boys" have broken several indoor records. 'Ye have lost but one game of basket ball this year. In base ball our boys fill the two most important positions on the college team, that of pitcher and catcher. Who can doubt, judging fr-om our previous record, but that the honor for first place in base ball will again be bestowed on the '03 team. And in foot ball, well, the college could not put forth a winning team if it were not for the star players of the 1903 class. "1903" was always known for its original ideas. So this year the' 'August Faculty," recognia; ing the unusual and extraordinary ability possessed by "Our Class," gave us permission to give an entertainment in Alumni Hall during the third term. The reader can but conclude that we possess remarkable talent to receive such a permission. The entertainment was pronounced by all to be the greatest success of the year. The ;, unity n of the class is one of OUI' notable features. and which has been made complete by the hearty co, operation of "Our Girls." During our junior year it can be truthfully said that not an '03 boy had a strike vvith a young lady in any of the other classes. At our banquet, which we had the pleasure of holding in hOIlOI' of the 1902 Class, the right hand of fellowship was given, which bound LIS to- gether forever. ancl '02 and 03 stand united as the upper.classme» of West- ern Maryland College. just to think of it. Next year we will he Seniors. Dignity, it is said, is the characteristic of the Senior; but, then, how can we, who have been so free and easy in our ways, become so dignified. As [ pause to think or the many hardships we will have to undertake as Seniors I hear a knock at the door. and on opening it "Old Father Time" greets me and informs me that another year has drawn to a close. Listen to the fatherly advice he leaves with me. You, as juniors. have already overcome wbat appeared to be insurmountable difficulties, but ever true to your watchword, "Let l1S go forward, we are the bravest and the best," yOlt need not fear to clan the garb of the Senior. as you will easily overcome all the difficulties that may confront you and finally reach the greatest pinnacle of success in your col- lege career. 9+
