After the usual mistakes and guyings they settled down to hard work. The first year passed rather un- eventfully, except that the whole school was startled when the class put several promising men on the 1904 track team. The class, as a whole, was glad that there would soon be some Freshies for them to guy. In the fall of 1904. after things were running smoothly. some persons in the class became enthused with class spirit and talked of a class organization, but it was not until February 2, 1905, that a meeting was called for that purpose. The officers were elected and a committee on colors appointed, to report at the next meeting. The colors chosen were green and White. The first social function was a bob-sled ride on February 9th, After an enjoyable trip around the city, during which Bill Conron tried to dump the whole party by breaking one of the sled sides, the class was entertained at the home of Inez Grass. It was at this party that a funnv incident occurred: not funny in itself, but only in comparison with other Sophomore 2?

'tkbbxvgyf IFF It l rw man lata-5 , I HE mill grinds slowly, but surely. Each .Tune a new class is ground forth, ready for the World, and each September fresh material is thrown into the hopper that the mill may not Qaii cease its grinding. Such is the beginning for Freshmen-the grist of the High School. Fresh , ll and unsophisticated when they enter, they emerge after four years as well-developed Seniors I gl ii, and graduates. g -.V A The Class of 1008 is only one of the manyeeeach like its predecessor. It may be truth- g j il l if fully said that this class possessed no more greenness than the usual first-year class. However. ii , two features characterize it the large membership and the small size of the members. Among T-5-14 l y these is Phillip Hawes, who kindly acted as a model for the Medley artist who illustrated this f.Q-:L article. Little Phillip is a typical representative of the 'UH class, but there are exceptions in all rg. cases. Hliillv Sandusky is one of these. May he continue to laugh and grow fat. A promis- ing Ifreshman is .loe Shawhan, whose abilities as a student are well known. We think Joseph has all the qualifications neces- sary for a position as reporter for the Chicago American. and we wish him success. In oratory, Red McCord will come in for a share of glory as he grows older. Ilis execution of Rienzi's Address during one of the literary programs, reveals his talent in this line. Among the athletes are Frank Fox and Oliver Brown. who should turn out to be winners from what they have already shown. Lack of space prevents us from enumerating all the other brilliant lights who, as a whole, compose a galaxy never equalled in iiZlI'Illllll'S side-show. The Class of 'hs has one consolation. In a verv short time your Freshman days will be over. You have patiently borne all torments and suffered at the hands of the powers that he. and in a few weeks you will have lived through the crucial year of your High School life.
