HAT brilliant class of 1907! What have they done? Their great deeds are not counted in thousands, rather their unique and noted members stand forth to tell the tale. But even their common history is not common place. Yes I they were green as Freshmen-truly green as Freshmen can be made I But somehow with little training they developed spirit enough to have a banquet in the dining room of the Brick two days before Thanksgiving recess. It is true they began at one and did not finish until four, but they were hungry in those days and not so fatigued with continuous picket duty. So they ate while their would-be-counsellors serenely, smelled the coffee and went to sleep. ' In that flag-raising contest when the folds of '07 proudly waved from the cupola of the Brick, ill luck attended them, for one poor little brick did fall from the chimney and hit-Yes, it couldn't miss that good sized mark-a sophomore's head. But '07 waved on until noon and then came down by truce according to the intervention of Higher Power. In Sophomore year, having learned by experience, we posted procs. The advice was of great value, but alas! shellac-cloth and cement walks were treacherous. The Nigger Heaven of the White House did its best to turn, out the where-with-all to make our advice lasting, but largely in vain, and we sighed for the paper we had scorned, for the cloth refused to wed the walk and many were the souvenirs. , So '08 missed our .worthy advice and as a consequence, one PAGE THIRTEEN I l A I i I I 'rainy night, took refuge with one of the Professors whose only son belonged to that youthful class. They had grown Weary trying to find a place for a banquet and of course had missed our excellent advice, so in their ignorance they thought they could sit on the floor in the dark and have ' ' crackers and cheese ' ' and call it a banquet. They could not wait to finish the cheese and say their pieces but had to tell the rest of the people about it, and when they returned to visit their adopted father, the gas was out and lo! a battle was on-and the poor little childrens' dresses were soiled, so Papa had to come out and send the naughty seven visitors home. Now of course '08 thought they surely knew how to put up a flag--so they secured a square of maroon-a color which wasn't the fashion then as it is now, and their staunch defenders, Romeo, the Fat One, and Paris Green the Slim One, hoisted it on Kenyon Memorial. Of course it was hard to see it without a field glass, or even a telescope, but sharp eyes soon discovered it and a ladder secured, they hastened to free that building of its encumbrancef' ,But the plaster in Memorial Hall is prone to fall, again the Higher Power intervened to save the children, and another truce was made. In Junior year we forgot our animosity, as ideal Juniors do, and watched that class of '08 which of course had not been ,properly advised and so was inclined to blunder, while we, tired of children's play, turned to other things. We do not like to say it of ourselves, but somehow we had learned to respect our betters, so we, with great sacrifice, inaugurated a newsystem
