Such were the merits of each individual who helped' compose the creams, their one motto being No swearing allowed -at least, not out loud. But the pigskin has gone to rest until next September so let us not tarry longer here. After football had departed a queer sort of individual was seen around Lawrenceville, who professed to be a phrenologist, and after reading Deak Bond's cranium he took a chance on Tub Waller's pilot house, and to the utter astonishment of the many on-lookers, told Tub that he'd make a good sea captain, or probably a doctor, that he would not mind in the least to get out of bed at 1 A. M. to attend a sick patient, and was of a lovable disposition. QToo bad the gentleman was not better acquainted with Mr. Wallerg he might have guessed closerj The Presidential campaign came, and after a lot of political arguments We all cast our votes at the old bath house.

Yes, some of us, sad to relate, with conditions sticking all over us. But many shook them off within a few weeks, and settled down to hard W'inter study. ' About this time Strat ran across some strange contrasts in Freshmen. It seems he went to an under-form house, endeavoring to dispose of Memorabilia. He stepped into a Freshman's room, and in a superior voice tStrat always could talkj inquired if he wished a Memorabilia, and the other replied in a meek voice: Before I may purchase one of the books I shall be compelled to write father, and shall abide by his parental advice in the niatterfi Strat said it was certainly language in a dress suit. He visited another house and plied the same question, and the answer came in a sort of gruff, Well, say, I ain't got der gazuma on tap, but if it's all der same ter yous I'll write de ole gent fer der coin.', Strat said he was quite surprised, he ran up against a hard nut that time. Well, along about this time the pink eye broke out in all its fury-some genuine, some imagi- nary, and even some fakes Qsoap and hot water being the implements usedj. At any rate a great number went home for a while. When this was about over a similar sort of malady broke out. At least it only reached one person, Andrus by name, and was known under the name of grape eye. It was not contagious, and therefore did not spread. Ham went home and had the grape extracted and never caught the disease again-at least not in the eye. Sad to relate, Hutch, Hump Yale, Bill Potter, old Burtch, and many others left us, some, tired of school, and others departing for fairer and perhaps easier trails. We miss them, but fate decreed it thus. So let it be. The Class is not devoid of its sharks, for Cooper, Arms Qnot Carriej, Davidson and Leopold, our young naturalist, uphold the laurels in that branch. I had almost forgotten to mention Sweed Lightner, who will go nutty some day over too much study. Silver tongued orators had we many, as shown by the original speaking contest held in the Fall. Estabrook Uqueered himself Hrst, by speaking something serious and sensible, then secondly, in the middle of his speech by taking time out for adjusting his vest. A 2 I
