wm mm ft: XIX In the first track meet we suffered defeat at the hands (or rather the feet) of the 1915 class, but in football we came back strong, and when the final whistle blew, the score stood 6-0 in our favor. For the first time in the history of the col- lege the Sophs had been defeated by the Freshmen. As had teen agreed upon, this gave us the right to fly our class flag from the pole for twenty-four hours. The next day, a bold Sophomore by an exhibition of reckless dare-deviltry, never before surpassed or equalled, pulled down the flag while no one was around and made off with it. Altho excitement ran high for some time, and several Sophs were rather roughly handled, the flag was never recovered. In baseball we were also defeated by T5. The following year we again renewed old traditions by defeating the entering Freshmen in both track and football. In basketball and baseball, however, they were too strong for us, and our teams went down to defeat. Since becoming Juniors, our main endeavor has been to avoid the automatic ejector. Some, we regret to say, have failed to do this and others only by the des- perate expedient of changing courses or joining 1917. For the most part, however, we are “getting by” and expect to be there strong at the finish in 1916. 20

Registration complet- ed, we proceeded to look each other over, and one and all came to the conclusion that here was a class that was destined to leave its mark on Rhode Island. That we had football material was at once apparent, and the appearance of our co-eds was a matter of pride to every male member of the class. The Sophomores, according to the usual custom, at once decided that we must be shown how small we really were, but in the events that followed, the ability of the 19 lb class to look after its members was amply demonstrated. Some of the, at that time Sophomores, no doubt still remember the little visit paid to Room 44. 19
