The Ouachitonian 1907
Ouachitonian Staff
Here's to the Annual of Nineteen and Seven! The work of our staff of eleven. Here's to the State of old Arkansas dear! That gives us the name of "The Bear." Here's to all those in Ouachita's fold! Hurrah for the purple and gold! May other "Bears" grow in the years to come, For this is the very firs one.
To our esteemed and beloved President, Dr. J. W. Conger, and Lady Principal, Miss Annie R. Storts, The Bear is lovingly dedicated by the Class of 1907.
