These were to compose the Freshman 1 Q Class of 1916. We came from the East, the West, the North ah, 4 and the South, some were accompanied by mothers and fathers, QQQQ 9 , . f w.,-.g,,,v.,i:ii r- 1 fp, 'wg while others made the perilous journey alone. But what mat- ter from where we came, how we came or with whom we came? The fact remains that we were here. WWM M I The tirst three days passed in a perfect round of joy. We were, truly, in our own minds, the lords of all we surveyed. The Sacred Walk was often desecrated by ignorant Freshmen, and many an alien foot trod upon the forbidden grass. But this life of ignorance was soon to end, for the Sopho- mores kindly invited us to a social gathering which was held in Room 35 Pinkney Hall, and during the course of this meeting they, acting the part of gentlemanly advisers, pointed out to us the course of the straight and narrow path in which we were to tread during our Freshman year, and gave to us our inspiring motto, Speak when you are spoken to, and come when you are called, which we have tried so hard to follow. Then for many months we heard of Freshmen buying reveille buttons, seats in chapel and many other things necessary for our advancement. Though our trials were many, nevertheless we, with the assistance of our worthy predecessors, elected our class president, George Barnes. By this time we were getting into the swing of affairs, and when the call for football was sounded many of our members responded gallantly. Ligon Coyner was the only candidate from our class who was able to make the team, yet several others showed marked ability, and they will no doubt be the stars in the years to come. ln basket-ball our class is not represented on the tirst team, but we have several men, Larrabce, Coyner and Recher, who are on the second team. These and a few-others in our class, with a few years' experience, will possibly become the members of a very strong aggregation. On the cinder path our representation is small, but such men as Hitchcock, Sellner and Davis will augment the prospects of the squad for this season. 138

tx - .... ..., .... ....... Q 1 f '-.,, ........ .... ........ 2 XRWWFWWTXWTX Qt 4.,r,,Q,L.1,,,,Q ,,,, 4 Baseball season has not yet opened, and as I am by no means Ll prophet, I cannot predict what the season will bring forth, but from the number of candidates who have expressed their intention of going out I am thoroughly convinced that we will make as good, if not a better, showing in this sport than in any other. Last, but of greatest importance, we have done good work in the classroom. Among the best in the academic line are Recher, Fryer, Hall and Lloyd, who exempted every study the first term. Several others had to take but one or two examinations, and most of the remainder passed safely across the turbulent waters of the mid-year exams, deciding to break the record during the present term. All these achievements, both in athletics and academic work, are but small in comparison with what we hope to do. Our class is one of the largest that has ever entered the College, and we certainly intend to make it one of the greatest, so that when we, the Class of 1920, leave dear old St. john's she will be as proud of us as we have been of her.
