Junior Class History. Now it came to pass, in the reign of King Hank, that there came into his realm, even unto the great college on the hill, a band of pilgrims. And lol they were very young and fair, and the sign of verdancy was upon them withal, and they knew not what to do. For this reason they were called Freshites, which, being interpreted, means green And they were delivered into the hands of the Sophites, a very fierce people which infested the territory next them, and for several weeks there was sore oppression. And Fear walked in the way, and the afflictions of the oppressed were as grasshoppers for multitude and as the sands of the seashore innumerable, and they hid themselves in the caves of the fields and even behind the noble pines on the blue-grass campus, and when recitation time came, lol they were not prepared. Now there was a tree of knowledge planted in that place, and the Freshites ate thereof, and were enlightened and ceased to be sore afraid. And they said, one to another: Behold, why wait we here, fearing the haughty Sophs? Are not we as strong as they? Let us gird up our loins and assail them in fight, yea, even assail them in a flag-scrap. And there rose up a judge unto the Freshites, and behold, they planted a flag, and the Sophs took it not. Then had the Sophs great respect for their conquerors, and oppressed them no more, and the land had rest for thirty weeks. And it came to pass in the second year of the reign of King Hank, that the territory of the Sophs having been vacated, the Freshites took possession thereof. And they said, one to another: Behold! have we yet upon us the signs of verdancy? Are we not cultured and enlightened in the ways of the land? Have we not good table manners, and is not our church attendance all that Brower can desire? Lo! we will abandon the name Freshite and come into possession of our lawful inheritance. And from that day forth for some time they were known as Sophs. But they departed from the ways of their forefathers and went seeking after strange pleasures. Yea, they forsook their classes, and the wrath of those high in authority waxed hot against them. Yea, some were even banished from the Garden of Knowledge, having allied themselves with strange frats, wherein the members did work iniquity in the eyes of the Profs. For there rose up unto them great Hank, and thus spake he to the Fac. Behold, shall not this be for a sign unto the following generations that no secret society may exist in my realm? And the Sophs were diminished thereby, yet they waxed strong, and having run the race and finished the course, they came into the inheritance of juniors. Now a Junior in those days was a wonderful thing! Next in rank and in learning were the Seniors, who wore strange gowns, and spoke queer words and had bad cases. Then saith the juniors, Shall not we do even as they? Shall we not wear caps in Stuart Hall? And on the next day, behold! they wore gay caps and the Seniors were quite abashed, and there was great applause from the land of the Preps. Now there prevailed at this time a queer custom in that land, for there rose up a great man who spake up unto those seated in 1-hapel. To me shall all absences be excused, yea, all absences from chapel, from class, and from church. Likewise to me shall all tardies be referred, and whosoever excuseth them not is not wise. Now these are the rules thereof. If an absence in not excused in three days, he by whom the offence in wrought is guilty in the eyes of Brower. Nevertheless to him will I give a slip, even a gay slip, yellow in color, and upon receipt of this token shall he be received into class and restored unto favor. And the Juniors did well in the sight of the school, and made noble excuses, yea, even Williams made noble excuses, and Brower was well content. Then saith the juniors: 4 Are not we a noble class? Do not we excel in all kinds of learning? Have we not sharks among us? Behold! we will put forth an annual which shall be for a light and a lamp unto all other classes. For an exceedingly small sum will we put forth this annual, and all the school shall see of the stuff of which juniors are made. And on these books doth the fame of the Juniors rest-yea, even the fame of the learned Juniors of 'l1. 19
