Hammer President Secretary-Treasurer At least we can say for the Freshmen that they are game losers, fgaspl, and even if they frequently do come out second-best, it usually isn't their fault. They have won no debates, yet there are no more enthusiastic debaters than they, they don't shine athletically either, fWhich one of the gentlemen present said, Trackmeet, in a still small voice?D, but that doesn't seem to affect the gym attendance. ln fact the Freshman Class appears to be almost entirely composed of the durable sort of personality that doesn't know when it's beaten, and consequently never is. No inferiority complexes, Cwitness the class motto, Leaders of Tomorrow, and the pride they take in it! They really believe in it and it may be truel, and no pessi- mism. Odds have absolutely no effect on freshmeng they eat odds every morning with coffee and rolls to give them that pleasant feeling. Perhaps they're absorbing determination from Mr. Seney. He has plenty to spare. lt makes them about as apprehensive and diflident as the honorable Wilhelm before the war. The freshman banquet was something to be proud of. It was held in the Y cafeteria, fno casualtiesl. Everyone had a chance to talk about some- thing, fanythingl, and a pleasant time was had by all, as the historian Suetonius phrases it in his dramatic portrayal of the death of Nero. Mr. Seney and our principal, Mr. Wing, were present, and a speaker from the University of Chicago addressed the members. Songs were chosen and duly executed, fuexecutedn is good. No offensej, and the class spirit figuratively danced a jig on the graves of former reverses. The freshman colors are officially maroon and white. To get the best effect when wearing them a textbook in some suitable shade should be tucked under the left arm. The effect is quite fascinating, especially to the faculty. Speaking of fashions, trousers are growing so voluminous that there is really no need to sweep the floor any more. We are hoping against hope that no one happens to think of hoop-trousers.
