THE FRESHMAN CLASS, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF A JUNIOR. l' was thought desirable that the account , f of the Freshmen should be given as they see themselves. Accordingly, certain members of the class of ,07 were 15011- sulted, but their ideas were too limited, quantitatively and qualitatively, to adorn the pages of the Annual. The class will have to submit, therefore, to having their his- tory related from the point of view of one who, in chapel, sits in the row farthest from the notoriousffback seat. That first morning last September, as we smilingly watched the Freshmen wander to their seats, our Junior amazement was aroused by observing that the number of boys was twice the number of girls. This unusual state of affairs has occasionally caused a heavy heart among the members of the class. YVhen there is a party on hand, and the boys draw the girls' names according to the ancient custom, some popular youth is likely to draw a blank, while some fortune-favored lad gloats over his miserable classmate of the blank, and is filled with joy and satisfaction at being able to accompany a dainty maiden to the party. Poor boy with the blank, may for- tune cease to frown, and soon smile upon you! Before the first week had ended we began to hear groans and sighs from the Freshmen. WVe learned that the cause was Hamlet Pityingly we gazed upon them, and yet with a gleam of satisfaction in our eyes-we rc- membered our own agonies. lb A stil tl ' ta ltlhtwawflgtf All thoughts of 1-lamlet, with his 'fslings and ar- rows, were etlaced by the fall reception. Here, in spite of their efforts to appear at ease, and in spite of efforts of the Juniors to relieve their embarrassment, they plainly rejoiced when the 10-o'cloek bell rang. Their next social function occurred at the end of the second' week, when they were entertained by the Sophomorcs. They do not often mention the souvenirs they received on that occasion, but they have not forgotten. Since then they have had several enjoyable parties of their own. Following the example of other Freshmen, they have unfurled their flag above Merrill hall, in the dead of night. The first attempt was unsuccessful, the flag dis- appeared before breakfast. The second time it was more carefully guarded, and llauntcd in the breeze for a whole day! NVe have heard that on that day the apparition of a. Freshman foot appeared through the ceiling of the chemical laboratory, leaving therein a very substantial hole. To tell the truth, hard as it is for a Junior, they have left their mark throughout the whole town. On every sidewalk one may see the figures '07 artistically painted in yellow and white. As yet, no geniuses have appeared in this class. Perhaps the plunge into algebra and Hamlet has dc- layed their development. It is hoped that the craning of necks in bird study and the continuation of Lit in the form of Browning, will soon restore them to their normal condition.
