Colgate Un1'fuer.vz'ty 3 I Junior History With the close ol' each year, Clolgate completes a play the histo1'y of which becomes closely connected with the history of the institution. ln September, IQO8, she began a new drama, which willsome day, we hope, bring honor to the author. Each year one act has been completed, andby those whohave seen it, it has been pronounced a proud success. The history of that play is the history of the Junior Class. The first act, called Freshdoin, contains several scenes ranging from a battle with procs and skirmish sticks to smoking the pipe of peace. Throughout the act, the heroes-for many play that role-are distin,Qguished from the other characters by wearing: green caps with maroon buttons, a11d by ever bearing aloft a purple and white banner with 1912 upon it. The battle of Procposting is near at haiid. In response to a single call, over one hundred IIICH with the cheer: li.al'1! Ray! Ri! Roo! One, nine, one, two! Colgate! Colgate!

With a de- termination to keep this motto unsoiled, they win the salt rushg they defeat 191 1 in track, baseball, and debateg they carry off the honors i11 cross-coun- try, and win the Morse Cup from all the classes in basketball. On Dee. 1, 1908, they are sunnnoned by their God, Mercury, to a ban- quet in Syracuse. With their characteristic courage, they march in a body l'l'0lll chapel down to meet their train. They are followed by their adver- saries, several of whom they seize, lock in safe places, and the11 buy those places-enemies included. They the11 board their train and reach Syracuse safely. There they discover several ol' their enemies, whom theycapture. They dress them up in nativity suits, and leave them locked in a hotel, while they proceed to hold a successful banquet. Back in Colgate again, they continue the action by burning the Algebras,
