The first few days passed peacefully. Then we organized, for we anticipated a hot time with the juniors, and we were not mistaken. McCaslcey showed that he. was capable of good work in the Fighting line, the result being that 'we made him. our leader in the bowl' fight. 4 As ofhcers' we elected: President, Roopg' Vice President, Gamberg Treasurer, Bock, Secretary, McCaskey. The Juniors now got on our trail and made us do a few stunts, such as rolling pennies with our noses. r 16

CLASS HISTORY CContinuedJ The next event of importance was the bowl fight. It was a hot day when we marched out on the field of battle. Some had overalls, some football togsg in fact, you could see almost any kind of dress. The wooden bowl was placed in the centre of the field and we all made a rush for it. After some line bucking and football stunts, the juniors won the event, due to their greater experience and superior numbers. XV e gave them a mighty hard tussle, however. Wfe then held a smoker at which very little smoking was done. The juniors got wind of it some- how or other and as we were puffing on our pipes of peace they broke in on us. Then ensued a grand mix-up, which reminded one of the good old fighting days. Somebody put chemicals in the punch to flavor it a little. In order to make the sandwiches a little more palatable a little red pepper was added to the nlling. 1 Mid years soon rolled around and with them a weeding out process for which Drexel is noted. Many a chap left good old Drexel for other regions. The fittest survived and plunged into the second term. Spring with its enticing days again overtook us and found us in the machine shop, chipping and filing two little blocks. Wle can never forget that pleasure. How we did love to push the -tile as the birds twittered and sang outside. june came and with it another set of exams. After a summerls relaxation from Physics Lab. we returned for the Junior year. Wfilliams was elected presidentg Thorn, vice presidentg Wlinter, secretary and treasurerg Johnson to the Advisory Board, and Robbins the historian. Most of the officers hailed from jersey. Another bowl fight came along. The Freshmen had a vast multitude of swarthy giants, and their overwhelming numbers were too much for us in this fight. Wfe did, however, at other times put them through some of the stunts to which we had been subjected the previous year. The junior year presented delightful Physics experiments, of which we all have fond recollec- tions. A few more of us were weeded out until we numbered about twenty. ' 1 7 Q
