SECOND-YEAR CLASS. 'V HOULD some one ask, What happened in '95 ? -one might mention various events,-such b as the Armenian massacres, the Venezuelan affair, the panic in Wall Street, and other things which made the year notable. But the class of '98 would cry with one voice : Que voulez- vous ? We became Sophomores ! 'l'hat 's enough to make '95 memorable, is it not ? There is no doubt that from the very beginning '98 fully appreciated the heavy responsibilities of her new position. In fact, before three months had passed, it was observed that '98 was growing old -some said, old-maidish. A strange report came to us that we were serious ! It was said that we never smiled in class, positively refused to laugh at jokes, however amusing QQ, insisted upon high tragedy at all times, whether it was in order or not, and, moreover, that we would not be fed with fairy tales, or any other kind of literature unless there was a moral at the end to leave a good taste in our mouths. 4' Puritanical sermons were produced fortnightly, much to the edification of the Eng- lish Department. At hrst we were inclined to deny these accusations flatly, but as this process became wearisonie, we decided to change our course 3 to assume more jovial manners and address, to appear gay and festive on all occasion, and to become playful as kittens, We went to work heartily, and 5l'l'l'0ll50' ! Result : within six weeks our fiippancy was past endurance g we made more noise and accomplished less than any class in the memory of man for woman, as it happened to bel, we lacked Unity, Coherence, Elegance -in short, all the qualities which we were supposed to have acquired in our Freshman Year,-we were horribly sentimental, we H were quarrelsome and loquacious, etc., etc., etc. Alas ! for the hckleness of opinions I However, o1if521' 7P,ll7V f3ltYc11-5061, and so having shown our amiability by our attempts to please everybody, we are now going to please ourselves, looking forward to the Azzrca Illea'z'afrz'!as of the Junior Year.
