One other event there was in our Sophomore year, which re- mains in memory a source of pleasure. This was our class supper in Boston. It was no ordinary supper, but the event of a lifetime, and to us it will always be one of the bright spots of -our course. In our junior year, the same dismal croakings about our ability to take the class base-ball banner arose as had been heard in the previous year with regard to the heavy gymnastic exhibition. This time, indeed, they were not published in the Slurlenl, but were promulgated by the mouth of its business manager. But they were of no avail. The Freshmen were nowhere, i'l.l1d'9I backed out. With a team that had never played together before, we beat '93, and the Tyler banner was ours. We willjust say in passing that the athletic day score WHS juniors, 92 pointsg Sophomores 25. Such, in brief, is our record. 'l'he best advice that we C2111 give to thc lower classes, is Go thou and do likewise. .g.q' ', r' j!'ll'A fl' 74

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
