Perhaps Per-haps it was because of this rivalry rival-ry that every senior picture was encased in a tombstone to mark his passing from the realm of the living. You will find in every yearbook year-book something which applies anytime, and in the 1907 Utonian (named for the Class of '07) it is the greeting.
