SOPTTOMORE Supbuniure lass Jfaisturp 42 The history of this class brims with events of a very enviable nature..e So significant and of so great a consequence were these important events that it has aroused the envy and jealousy of the upperclassmen. Gf course, we do not want to appear to be casting bouquets at ourselves, but from the following. exposition you will conclude that after all we have some pretty good basis for this attitude. In the first place our class has been conferred with the honor of ushering into existence the dreaded 'fpremedical year. Spontaneously we became officially prominent in this official capacity. Known thruout the institution as the first prernedical class, it aroused a new interest and a new delight-a very.cur1ous and inquisitive one, to be sure. Seniors just disregarded our intrusion as if we were a peaceful nothingness. The juniors and sophomores regarded uslas pets or mascots, if you please, and with an egotistic respect and admiration directed us willingly in our ignorance. But the Freshmen: As if we had deprived them of the privilege of being the attractive feature, as had been the case heretofore. They considered us rogues and nuisances. And, so every action, gesture, and display of ignorance was quickly observed and then painfully criticized. They evaded our company with an air of importance and always managed to keep us at a respectable distance. Thus being segregated, we, the outcasts of the student body, remained con- tented within the confines of our own realm. For to fall in the social scale has a tendency to bring men to one level. We enjoyed with an earnest delight the pleasures and happiness deprived from a peaceful and amiable association of men brought to one level. r Entering upon the Freshmen Year created in us a vanity and pride unequalled by anyone in the past. And why not? We unceremoniously became legitimate members of the student body entitled to all the privileges and rights bestowed by that title. That was almost sufficient. But in addition we were the first body of students to be prepared to successfully assimilate the work and establish a high standard of scholarship. Because of this pre-requisite knowledge we were accepted with a greater enthusiasm and given more encouragement by the faculty. And again, we constituted the smallest freshmen class with the greatest diversity of opinions. I The entrance of six new members had now augmented the number of students in the class to fourteen. The Qld Eight now became disturbed over the pros- pects of being able to control and manage the political affairs of the new class. They feared that the presence of the additional six would destroy the harmony and quietude to which they were for a full year accustomed. They conspired to defeat any attempt on the part of the newcomer to acquire a position of significance in the class. Everywhere, at all times, whenever opportunity presented itself the '4Old Eight would laud themselves to the skies and picture in a most spectacular manner their wonderful achievements. This attitude only led to formation of opposing factions. However, not until the election was the gravity of this inco- herency realized and was made more pronounced when the members of the.two factions entered into an enthusiastic battle for supremacy. The Old Eight inevitably were successful and thruout the year there prevailed a most unpleasant irritating, and demoralizing sentiment among the members of the various factions?
