fHE Class of ' 88 has twenty-six members, and though we are few in numbers,- we hope to hold together well. Some of our class, however, have already decided to take up studies with the Sophomores. Perhaps some of us were homesick at first, but, if so, this feeling was soon overcome. Although we did well in the cane rush, numbers told against us, and the " Sophs " got the cane. On the 25th of September, some of the ' 87 men tried to stop our class-meeting by throwing into our midst burning chemicals (a trick which ' 86 so successfully practiced on them, and from whom they learned it), but ' 87 did not succeed. One or two of our numbers have lately been relieve ' d of a bath, and one or two of the Sophomores also. We think our lack of interest in out-door sports is made up in our studies. The class of ' 88 fully appreciate the favors the Juniors have shown us, and the points they have given us. 33

We understand the bill of fare ait the boarding-house has been improved this year, but, in our opinion, no harm would be done by a still greater improvement. Some of the class have proved that they can store up more pie and pudding in fifteen minutes than they can knowledge in two hours. The spring of ' 88 seems a great way off, but if the days and weeks fly past us as quickly in the future, as they have done in the short past, we shall be dignified Seniors before we can really comprehend it. This being our first communication to the Index, we hope any error will be overlooked, and believing that " practice makes per- fect, " we will try and do better in the future. 34
