3° The Pandora HISTORY OF ’94. Hurrah for the class of ’94! This yell greeted the old students for the first time in the fall of ’90, but since then it lias become quite familiar, and now Seniors, Juniors, Freshmen and Law students all follow our banner and cheer for the class of ’94. When we first entered college we were known as “ Little Freshmen,” but when the foot ball teams were organized and we came off victorious, and our base ball team became the pride of the college, then we were known as “ members of the class of ’94. ” We are now Sophomores, still leading in Athletics. We have five men out of a possible fifteen (counting substitutes) on the college foot ball team, and we can safely say our base ball team is the best in college, for our old team has been strengthened by the addition of several fine players. Our men are equally good in other athletic sports, and last Field Day most of the honors fell to members of our class. So much for athletics. As for our intellectual abilities I need only say that in several of our studies we have passed over more ground than any former class, and that we are the first A. B. students to finish Math, in the Soph. year. Our men occasionally join in the war-dances around the bonfires, but on the whole we are a studious class and find no time for painting the Lucy Cobb goats or stealing examination papers. The poor Sophs are generally blamed when such things occur, but our record in the class room proves, beyond a doubt, our innocence. At the beginning of the term we had fifty members, nearly all of our old men having returned, and a great many new ones having joined our ranks, but six of our men left “ on account of sickness;” so we have only forty-four members

Class of 94. 31 at present. We can not claim that we have the oldest set of men in college, for as yet our moustaches are literally ‘‘out of sight,” but our average height and weight will compare favorably with those of any of the other classes. The members of our class have been very fortunate in receiving invitations to the “ Chancellor’s Receptions,” and although some of the new men were disappointed because Refreshments were not served, still they all claim to have had a most pleasant and enjoyable time. A few short months, and we shall be Juniors, (if no misfortune conies to us) and the stream of life, which but yesterday seemed like the murmurings of the little brook, has now widened into the bold river and is fast flowing to the sea. We in vain try to stay this onward current of life, for the opportunities now lost will never be offered again, therefore let us make the best of them so that in after life when we look back over our college career we may feel that we have never neglected our duty. Tvet us study and improve ourselves here in college, so that when we reach the ” great unknown sea of life ” each of 11s may be competent to guide his bark safely through. Historian ’94.
