for three years one of onr most able and popular members, upheld the banner of his class no more. And one of equal rank was missing from among our fair maidens. She who was to prophesy to what each of us should come in after years had deprived 11S of the advantage of her 'wonderful foresight. And then, as if for fear we might overlook the uncertainty of human affairs. fate took from us our hietorien, With "J\tlemory" gone, "knowledge or the future" gone, what more could mortals lose? "Why, where is our secretary?" The college walls, just waking from their summer's sleep, answer with the echo, "Gone." A new election was first in order, and we had it.

As a result of this club's efforts we have several new class songs and a much needed college song. Neither an:' the girls opposed to fun-at the proper time. They tell 11S boys wondrous tales of how they "had a midnight feast," "dodged the teacher," "hooked to a classmate's room," "hooked light after ten o'clock," etc., etc. All of which things give spice to college life and help to clear the tangled bruin after a long battle with Psychology or Calculus.
