...senior gathering, and preparations have been made for a goodly supply of the refreshments which lay the foundations for senior democracy. Hence the duty lies with every member of the 1914 class to make this the brightest and breeziest gathering in history. The marshals will all be there to tell of future joys which the class will undoubtedly experience, and everybody should be on hand to welcome them. Remember the time, and the place, and the fun. Boys will be boys...
