History of the Class of 1917 HEN we would be enrolled as students in Columbia College, was a day to which we had long looked forward. But when the time came, we left home with aching hearts and tear-dimmed eyes. There were never braver Freshmen, however, so on September the twenty- fourth, we found ourselves at Columbia College. VVe were met at the door by the president's wife, who carried us to our rooms-and left us to enjoy the desolation of the bare and lonely rooms. The schedule was posted the following week, and we began work with about eighty in our Class. It was difficult to remember so many strange girls, bells, and periods. However, we resolved to go to work earnestly. Old girls would ask us to go walking, but we would reply, I've really so much to do that I can't.', Recitals and entertainments, which broke the monotony a little, were given at night. The State Fair, which we had heard so much of, was soon to come. XVe had heard the old girls talking about what a grand time they had last year, and of their fiirtations with the opposite sex. VV'hen our kind president gave us a whole day to enjoy it, what a time we had! To be turned loose from teachers and to have a time of your own was great. There were a few more weeks of work, then Thanksgiving, another holi- day-with feasts and boxes, things which Freshmen hail with delight. A few more weeks of hard work, then the long-dreaded time of examina- tion. For two weeks we walked as in a dream. As we passed each other, in the halls, we passed on with a grunted, Hey, or stopped to ask, How did you come out? or Did you pass? i After examinations, on December the nineteenth, we left for Home, Sweet Home. How those three weeks of fun Hew by! Dn the fifth of jan- uary, we returned with heavy hearts fora second term at Columbia College. Several new girls were added to our list, making ninety in all. Wfe enjoyed seeing them smile and blush when asked a question, but we were ever ready to lend a helping hand. . Soon after Christmas, we began making plans for our Freshman Feast, the most important celebration at the College, at least, in our estimations. Quickly time has passed, and the time we have looked forward to has come. Qur Freshman year has ended, and we are now wise Sophomores. VX7e have traveled many rough and narrow paths, especially in our Latin classes, but we have a great deal of confidence in the members of the Class of 1917, and feel sure that we shall pass safely through the remainder of our college -J.
