Whatever may have been the -k K mistakes of the last two years, we know they are past nowg and from the high plane of junior year we look forth with pleasure to the remainder of our course. Our Freshman year was a continual grind. At first we doubted the sincerity of '9i's vote not to rush, and held our- selves ready to meet them whenever their courage should be equal to the contest. lt seemed as though the time would never comeg but at the end of the year they plucked up what courage they had and tried to prove themselves worthy ofthe name of Sophomores. Then after they had striven all 22

night in vain, the morning found a trophy erected by our prowess still floating from College Hall. Our base-ball team was a most decided success. We beat Yale, and administered a telling defeat to Harvard. The only disappointment in this line was our failure to persuade our brethren from the Berkshire hills to cross bats with us. We had, of course, the usual round of class work grinds under our delightful Freshman tutors. liph glared with un- usual fierceness on us, and excused Gregg from recitations for dreaming of chestnuts. Levi called ns together in Athenae Hall, and when the gas gave out supplied us with a steady stream from his own generator. I would speak also of Tutor Tommie, but he has gone and requzbscal zbz pace. V , In the beginning of our Sophomore year, we decided not to rush the Freshmen il' they behaved themselves. They thought we were fooling and got out a cane. Alas ! they soon discov- ered their mistake, and laid away the cane until the twenty- second of February. ' The opening of the winter term found Derwall waiting for us. I-le had been obliged to turn over the class of the pre- ceding year to Ned, and so trained all his guns with double energy on us. How great that energy was, ask A. M. johnson or Leach. Nevertheless, we stood it as well as we could and had the satisfaction of knowing, at the end of the term, that we were not all stuck We had another cause for satisfaction, also, at that time. It was the heavy gymnastic exhibition. ,QI and '93, inspired by the prophetic utterances of the Amhers! Sludenl, had each de- cided that the banner belonged to them. Accordingly, they marshalled what forces they could and believed that luck or fate would supply the rest. But, all too soon, they re- cognized the truth of the old adage, Heaven helps those that help themselves. Neither the record of Ludington nor the litheness of Brooks were able to stand against the steady training which our men had undergone. We won the banner in spite of the Sludeul, and won it because we had worked for it. 23
