LIKE the barbarian hordes of old, we as Freshmen swooped do\vn uponBucknell, routed the Sophs in the class scrap, and then laughed themto scorn Ijy posting up the best Freshmen procs that have el-er beenknown at Bucknell. The palm was ours from the moment we entered College,and there is little wonder that our Freshman banquet at Harrisburg met noresistance, and was declared a "grand success".The "old order changed, yieldirig place to the ne~v" and we found ourselvesSophomores with the duty incuml~ent upon us of maintaining our loftyheigl~t-so with well ordered phalanx we met the "green buttons'' on thegridiron and again snatched a victory. Then n-e held a banquet at Shamokinjust as wccessful as the one of the previous year.Our position has al\\-ays been n lofty one; we have always been monarclisof all we surveyed. As we glance baclc at the foothills we have clin~bed, wesee men doing nobly on the gridiron, at baseball, and at football, and theyhave even upheld their reputation at such an important function as theJunior sleigh-ride.But our days are drawing near their close-we have striven always fora liigl~ and noble good. We have not been \vithout internal strife, hut we havearisen stronger and more united. Have we left any footprints on the sandsof time? At least our departure will have a touch of that sadness and p~thoswith which the Romans uttered that last farewell Vale, Vale, Vale. This isthe last and hest tribute of the Class of 1911 to old Bucknell.
