Rhode Island State College 19 History of the Class of 1913 Perhaps “13” is the unlucky number, but it is with many happy recollections that the Class of 1913 presents you with its history. We started, of course, as green little Freshmen, and how that big sign with the Freshman Rules opened our innocent eyes! But we were proud to be the first class to whom the rules were applied. How about the football game? The score was a tie 5-5. Probably 1912 remembers the occasion. It was a lucky day for them. However, they beat us badly in the other games and we had to swallow our disappointment as best we could. “Self praise goes but a little ways,” but 1913 has been a class of originators, heart breakers, and trouble makers; the first to wear the Freshman caps, to celebrate with a bonfire and banquet the burning of the caps, and to hold “Freshman Nights” in Davis Hall. We were instrumental also in assisting our superior Sophomores in wielding the paint brushes. Hush! Did somebody whisper “1912 class banner?” In November of our Sophomore year we gave our first dance, the Sophomore Hop. It was a gala affair and “old timers” said it was the best function of its kind ever held at Rhode Island. That year we left a clean card in athletics, defeat- ing the Freshmen in all four branches. This same year we took a thoughtful interest in our little Freshmen, but they seemed not to appreciate it; and once were even so bold as to hurt our feelings, for which we gave them a stern reprimand. Now we have sobered down a little, for with the work of our Grist, the Junior Prom, and numerous other duties, we have not had time to get into mischief. In conclusion we may say that we have always been prominent in social and athletic activities. We have been well represented on the football, basketball, baseball, and track teams. Our men have been the mainstay of the Glee Club, the Quar- tette, and, — well perhaps we have boasted enough. Next year will see the members of the Class of 1913 with a slowly and painfully acquired dignity, the “Grand Old Seniors” at Rhode Island.
