m B Senior Class History T was the first day of school ; how important, and yet how insignificant felt the Freshmen of 1915, destined to be the Seniors of 1919. How small and lost they seemed with all the old students staring curiously at them and mock- ing them with the degrading appellation of Rats. Then, too, they scarcely received the consideration due to such personages of unusual intelligence. Were they not college students? Why should every one regard them in the light of a joke? Oh, the sensation of that never to bs forgotten first day! Every preacher in the District (and some not in it) made speeches on Golden Opportunities, yet none of them so much as made an impression upon the un- ruffled brains of that all-important Freshman Class. But when a Senior, the silver tongued orator of the Student Body, delivered an oration, each word uttered went straight into the ears of every Freshman, and caused dreams of future greatness to flit across their vision. The benediction was spoken, and the crowd moved toward Science Hall, where punch was being served; but Herbert sat staring into space until Hugh Smith gave him a nudge and said, Wake up. Rat. Strange to say when the punch disappeared, the crowd disap- peared with it, and soon only a bunch of forsaken rats was left in Dr. Colebeck ' s room, to matriculate. George, most youthful member both in looks and actions, was handed his enrolment card; he opened his eyes very wide, and said, What must I do with this. Pro- fessor? After being told to get it signed and return it, he looked none the wiser, but said, Yes, Sir. Oh! The experience of that first week, poring over schedules, and getting lost every other minute. Some plotting contrivers would actually direct an inquiring Freshman to the Chem. Lab. when he was seeking the History Room. That unnecessary feeling took all the joy out of living. Jessie and Grace would not have gone down that long hall or across the campus alone, if someone had offered them a pass in every subject free of work. Being an extraordinary class, they soon unravelled the many mysteries However, Hinton and Hunt did not seem to learn the directions as quickly as the others. One afternoon they got lost, and after quite an extended search, Hinton was found aim- lessly wandering in the Jungle, and Hunt was discovered in the Garrett. This class, in its desire to be different, decided to wear little green ribbons the rest of the term. Trials and tribulations came too soon ; and wholesale misery was spread through the Fresh- man Class when the grades of the first Math, test were read. And when those terrible theme subjects were assigned, supreme despair ruled the hearts of every non-literary Rat who had made the awful mistake of taking English. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so the troubles of lessons disappeared with the last echo of the 2:30 bell. A light reaction took place at the mass- meeting before the game with Howard. The parade the next day, those yells and songs, and that white washing victory constituted the greatest experience in the lives of the no longer green rats. Pitts and Jones were so hoarse that they could not read in Latin Class, for a week. However their speaking ability returned in time for the Freshman (25) [gi DC 3 DC DC 3 DC HfF '
