since PreXy's accession lo the mitre. Our canes were stolen, that is true, though we won the cane rush and were satislied. No Hag ever hung on the flag pole to our discredit. Only one was ever raised, but Jack brought that down and divided the spoils with. Slip. But there is another side of college life in which ninety-eight has not been remiss. That is bohning. Old Hops has been heard to remark that ninety-eighL's learning cannot be measured by a mental comparison but by horse power. Fen Couper used to think the same -and once told us not to bring the animal into the class room. But thus the Greeks conquered Troy, and we have beaten the best of the Greeks at their own game. We knew the classics so well that Old Greek cut us for two solid weeks and Hops used to take the recitation hour in delivering lectures on borrowing money from a man and then knocking him down-HB. GY, was our favorfte. He thought to intimidate us by threats. It didn't work, but he kept his word and we had no prize speakers freshmen year. Our star has shone brighest in the social side of college sport. The Freshmen Frolicw at the Opera House, our first appearance as hosts, was a typical class success. Our Sophomore Hop stands unsurpassed as a college dance. We had more charming girls, more good cheer and more lively fellowship than the Gym has known in years. Then our Prom. was without a parallel for its select crowd and unlimited jollity. The crowd was more select than the committee had anticipated. We have passed through Prexyis Purge and Old Hop's Thorough, we have impressed B. G. and Bib in ways not to be forgotten. We have made a mark too deep to be washed out. We are proud of ourselves and of dear Old Hamilton . Our only hope is that a few be saved for still another year. 26
