and by the support of the entire class presented a programme which far surpassed that of any previous class, It would seem absurd to attempt to depict our ability in athletics, for our efforts have been far-reaching, We have furnished some or tile best men on the foot ball team, and it was our class that furnished several men to the base ball team, besides our clever pitcher, Regardless of the difficulties under which our basket ball team labored, its success was apparent from the first, owing to the persistent manner in which the captain organized and trained his team. But not alone did our boys bring honor to the class, for our girls struggled Valiant(ly) through the Day(s) of practice with such Sterling qualities that when the)' met their rivals, namely. 1903 and 1905, they found them easy victims, and thus gained a place second to none, other than the team represeucative of the Senior girls, Our fair maidens!
