The Class History of 1909 N September, 1905, there arrived in Alfred a motley throng, some of whom were anxious-eyed and uncertain of motion. -This was the Freshman class of 1909. But they lost their greenness under the frosty kindness ofthe Class of 1908. In a few days they organized in that infant asylum, the history class room, and from plans there formed, came many of the joys of this class. ' During November a subtle sense of an impending event hung in the air. The week before Thanksgiving they were entertained by President Davis, and the nexttnight by theslunior Class. After Thanksgiving they held their banquet in the Gothic, to the dis- appointment ofthe Sophs. The latterleft town in the day light for their banquet, followed by the yel-ls of the Freshmen. Each class claimed the victory, and even now the mention of suit cases makes some Sophs angry. Later they entertained the juniors at Professor Kenyon's. At last in june came the crowning event of their year. A strange parade left Babcock Hall, headed by a band and composed of baby carriages and other infantile accommodation. As they marched about, the crowd on the Campus increased until all else was lost in a mixture ofcollege and class yells. The Freshman Class was burned in effigy, and then the participants went to the Brick for a spread. This closed their Freshman existence. I In September, 1906, they returned to Alfred ready for the Freshmen of1910. After they had organized, they posted their Procs which the Freshmen tried to pull up. But 'their ardor and clothes were dampened enough so that the victory was given to the Sophomores of 1909. On October 20, this enterprising class quietly left Alfred to attend their banquet in Angelica. Not a Freshman suspected that they had left town until all were safely on their way. That was a trip never to be forgotten! The victory was complete and never disputed. The class of 1909 has distinguished itself in athletics. Four ofits boys, Hartley, Ryan, Webster and Sage, have won their A's in football, while two have shown their prowess on the baseball field, and the Captain of the 'Varsity basketball team is a 1909 man. The girls of the class are not behind in prominence, for some of them wear numerals from basketball. This class has always stood for progress and high ideals. It initiated the famous 4' moving-up day.'f Its members are as prominent in the ranks of Non-monopoly as they are numerous in the Fusser's Union. Here's to the years that 'are stretching ahead, To the days that are blithesome and gayg May the joys ofthe old be the joys of the new, And their sorrows fade gently away. PAGE TVVENTY-SIX
