I THE ANNUAL If the Sophomores pictured the Freshman class of this year as 11 mamma’s darlings , their mental photography, as far as the Freshmen are concerned, was out of commission. Because of the superior class of Freshmen this year they were not as badly treated as in former years. It is true several were compelled to make speeches before a band of noisy Sophomores, but most of them were left unharmed. One problem which confronted them was that of report rooms. Last year the Eighth Grades did not have the opportunity to visit the Freshman report rooms ; consequently many Freshmen got lost, but were soon found and taken care of by Prof. Hall. The fall of the Freshman is usually great, for, after having supreme domain over the grammar grades, he is made the object of all jokes and fun, especially by the Sophomores. But this year the Sophomores were more lenient than usual, because last year they received a double share, and so had pity on those who were passing the same stage this year. The first day there was a great deal of excitement among the Freshmen, for the making out of rosters was new to them ; but when they found where those months led them, and also saw the teachers who would preside over them, they were very much pleased with the aspect of the coming year. Just after the mid-year examinations, Miss Simpson left for a trip to Cuba. During her absence her classes were taken by Miss Laughlin, from the University or Wooster. Everyone liked her very much and were sorry to have her leave when the return of Miss Simpson was hailed in the latter part of February. No complaint has been received from the Freshmen for not being well treated. The class, which is larger than ever before, has already displayed a great deal of talent and there is a good outlook for more in the coming years. CARL MENGERT. —25

THE ANNUAL Freshman Poem. Look you back, O little Freshie, To September nineteen nine; When you left the school of childhood; Left the school of reading writin ' , For the school of Hist’ry, Latin. For the school of high up English And the ’rithmetic of letters. Did it not sound fine? O Freshie, You would have no work to do, You ' d have lessons small and few ; You ' d need not take, as of yore, First position on the floor. Look you back, O little Freshie, To that week, some months ago. When your teachers all did warn you Of the tests that come and go; When they said, with hidden meaning In their voices and their eyes, Now no longer shirk your lessons, Study harder every night. If you study, little Freshies, In your tests you’ll come out right”. Look you back, O little Freshie, To the time you fell in test, To the time you got your grade card, You had failed, but done your best. Tread you softly, little Freshie, Speak not proudly of your thoughts ; Close your eyes, O little Freshie, And to dreamland glide away To the time that is to come, To the day not far away, When as Juniors, or as Seniors We’ll get homage we now pay To the time we’ll be respected ; Think again, O little Freshie, That that time’s not far away, Only three more years of climbing Until we shall reach that day. KATHERINE BUSHNELL. — 24 —
