brief hour of existence. Two of our noble classmates scaled that lofty tower and bore the Hag away. Nineteen Hundreds wild-goose chase and their fruitless search are all familiar parts of history. Then came a mo-ve Worthy of a Napoleon. Nineteen Hundred was sent up the path by a clever ruse. and right in front of Qld Kenyon, amid the applause of upper classmen, and before the very eyes of Nineteen Hundred, their wretched Hag was burned to ashes. Its short life was ended: its mission done. Let us turn another page and read about our Sophomore year. The re- nown we had gained for Kenyon brought forty Freshmen that fall. Mean- while, ill-fortune had reduced our ranks to fifteen. Fifteen against forty in the cane rush !-but reader, hear the facts. In a solid mass they came at us. Two volleys of Hour and fresh QFD country eggs we let them lhave, and then our valiant warriors fell upon them and the cane did not advance an inch! After fifteen minutes bloody fighting, hands were countedg and the class numbering fifteen had five hands, while the class numbering forty had eight. Ask Doctor Shaw if fifteen is to forty as five is to eightg and then ask yourself, gentle reader, 'Wdfhoi were the real victors? Then We Colne once more to St. Patricks day. Another Hag is raised, and another victory added to our glory. The Freshmen were sold. Wfhile they valiantly guarded their flag against the sarcastic smiles of upper classmen, eight dol- lars worth of good paint was added to our treasury. The Freshman scheme was spoiled! During the rest of the year one could see marks of green paint on every Freshman's door, and the recollection of a torn flag before the chapel steps is still fresh in our minds. Lastly, we come to ,our ,Tunior year. This is modern history, and modesty forbids my writing to any great extent. Wfe can boast, however, the most successful and most enjoyable junior Prom. ever given in Kenyon. Wie had the honor to be the first class to give it in the new Rosse Hall gym- nasium. This very Reveille is a Herculean task, which has been avoided for years, so that it was left to us to re-commence its publication. I have sketched briefiy what we have accornplisihed. May the future historian be obliged to record ten times as much renown, and ten times as many laurels. May the name of Nineteen One live in the memory of the college for years to come. -Historian. 29
