o'clock recitation; but nevertheless it throve wonderfully and is to-day the strongest and most energetic one of its kind in the University.
The class seems already to have vindicated its right to that proud motto "Invicti," for whatever has been undertaken has resulted successfully. No long and painfully drawn out yell of "What we own" is necessary to proclaim us, but the bare mention of '98 is sufficient to bring out a crowd against whom all opposition is vain. Of this the baffled and beaten Freshmen are witnesses.
"Flunking" is not known among us except as a horrible bugbear, which haunts the dreams and recitations of the upper classmen.
When our turn comes to be upper classmen, that horrible creature, whatever it is, will, with a moan of defeat, bury itself forever among the musty and forgotten records of classes gone before.
Here ends our history; short, indeed, but filled with the victories of those who stop only when success is attained.
