fljfetnro nf tlj? OUasfi of 19110 ESPICE! Pour years ago on a certain evening in June a number of youths in knickerbockers wended their way tremblingly to the Chapel of the Old Buildings in Twenty-third street, and then and there was bom—the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Nine! For those youths on leaving that Chapel were yclept Freshmen! Four years have gone by! Four years of joy, of sorrow perhaps, four years of striving, of battles hard fought and of victories well earned, in class-room and on the Athletic Field—four years, alas! of defeats and reverses as well! Those Freshmen, young and boisterous, are now Seniors, staid and serious! Respice! What memories docs that word not bring back to the hearts of all Naughty Niners. That Freshman Banquet, an innovation indeed, with its eatables and talkablcs of Happy Memory! That famous Rush, when Freshy boldly asserted himself and overthrew the Tyrant Soph (the storm doors and the landscape as well!). Those days of Happy Freshman- hood with That Spirit that it has done so much toward inaugurating and fostering in our Alma Mater will ever bear testimony to the greatness of '09! Folio Thirty-three
