First, we wisli to thank Mr. Jarman, our President, to whose earnest support this issue of The ViRGiNi.w is largelv due. We are grateful to Miss London, Miss Coulhng, Miss Whiting, Miss Tabb, Mrs. Cochran, Mr. D. I>. Biclcers, and man\- others for their advice, suggestions and aid. Especial recognition is due Mr. Mattoon. to whose kindness we are indebted for the cover which so gracefully conibines our class colors, buff and blue; also Miss Gertrude Ligon, for the frontispiece. We appreciate the fact that The Virginian of '05 could not have reached the success it has attained without the kind assistance of Miss Lula O. Andrews. She has relieved us of much responsibility and work by re\iewing and correcting the material for print. We trust The \'irgini.\x of 1905 may be an enduring emblem of what is good and noble. May it reflect the independence and loyalty of our student body. Joseph L. Jarman, B. A., President Elmer E. Jones, B. A,, M. A., Psychology ami Education. Director of Training School. Annie L.

Class History of J^nuaaryp I905 K arc Iciwiiig iioii< the sights and sounds of good old oollcgo days. And go to meet this cold new world oj uncertain blame or prais Before we go, let's look again at times that are no more, - 1 nd lift the veil that hides from us those happy days of vorc. "As one who cons at evening, an album all alone, And muses on the faces of friends that he has knoivn, So I turn the leaves of fancy till, in shadowy design," I find the well known faces of those old classmates of mine. History repeats itself , and a class history is no exception to the rule, but there are some, I am sure, who will agree with me that there never has been, and never will be, a class quite like the one of January, 1905. Very few are here now who entered one rainy day in September, four years ago, and signed a solemn pledge that they would marry as soon as they got through school, or else teach two years. We were so frightened when they told us we must matriculate that one of our meinbers meekly handed our president a laundry list, neatly filled out and signed. Thej' had told her to go to the President's office and fill out one of the blanks on the' table. She had not then taken Senior A Geographv, nor studied distance and direction, so she went to the laundry instead. When we were finally enrolled as First A's we felt that we had achieved grea,tness. There was smooth sailing for awhile ; then came a bolt from a clear sky—a Latin test was announced. For days we studied Latin, talked in Latin, dreamed in Latin, and, if you will believe me, when our papers were examined it was discovered that we had failed in Latin. It was during this year that Avice Allen impressed us with her vocal powers. In the music class she was always a little more ambitious than the rest of us, and at the most unexpected moments her voice would soar above ours. When we received our tickets in June, a few, a verv few, decided that old studies, like old friends, are best, so thev took the class over again. Then we studied chemistry, and Georgie Gravel v learned the result of passing H.,© through water. It was about this time, also, that we decided that not onlv the reputation of the school, but also the glory of the State, rested on our shoulders. Some- times the other girls forgot this, and it was necessary for us to remind them before they seemed properly impressed.
