History of the Class of JJ 11 In September, 1910, some sixty-five decidedly green-looking specimens, the finished product of various preparatory schools, alighted from the train at King- ston and inquired the way to Rhode Island State College. We were received in a manner, common to all new-comers at an institution, and soon our green color had entirely made its disappearance. The co-eds of our class soon gave a recep- tion in Davis Hall in honor of the fellows, who through the unexpected appear- ance of the Sophs, had some difficulty in keeping the engagement. Shortly after registration, the President of 1912, called our members together and then we organized as a class and elected our officers for the year. Dr. Sechrist was at that time chosen as our honorary member, but since then he has severed his connections with the institution and Prof. Dickinson now holds this place of distinction. In all athletics during our Freshman year, we displayed marked ability, yet were unable to defeat the Sophomores in any sport. Early in the year, the “Freshman Literary Society was formed, and many interesting programs were arranged. The benefits of this organization were made manifest in our Sopho- more year when 1914 won the Inter-Class Championship in debating. During our Sophomore year we were victorious in all branches of athletics, defeating the Freshman in Football by an overwhelming victory of 22-5. In the class-room, 1914 has made an enviable record, and its members are found to be leaders in all student activities. 1914 is well represented on, and its members are the mainstays of all athletic teams that uphold the honor of Rhode Island. To show our ability and not boast about it has been our slogan. The time is rapidly approaching when it will become necessary for us to assume the dignity of a senior. The fourth and last act of the wonderful play is soon to appear on the stage, the end will come before it can be hardly realized, the curtain slowly fall, and 1914 will exit from the college to which she will ever delight in bringing honor and glory. 15
