' 5 Class of 1904 One day, in September, Igoo, we, one hundred and forty-ive scared Freshies-to-be, wandered into the assembly room and seated ourselves in sympathetic groups. We reported there every day for a week, when we were given permanent seats, and heard, with a little less fear and trembling, the commands of our now revered pedagogues. Gradually we gained cour- age enough to hold up our heads and view things through our own eyes. Nay, more, we learned the way to the class rooms, and no longer begged advice from the sentinels of the halls. At the beginning of the second semester a number of the original class were transferred to New Trier High School, and the rest of us, who felt that we had now acquired all the freshness possible for a fresh Freshie to carry without coming to serious grief, looked forward eagerly to the com- ing of the February class, that we might initiate them in the mysteries of the laws and by-laws of this Temple of Learning, in the way which the gentle Seniors had taught us. We had our reward. Indeed, so untiring were our efforts in their be- half, so complete was the protection given to them by our sheltering wing, that the delighted innocents remarked openly about the homelike atmos- phere of their surroundings. Then, teaching them to repent at leisure, we went our joyous way, and trust that they have now learned the truth, and will profit by experience, as did their friends before them. As a class, we can not boast of much real history, for we have not yet risen to the dignity of having class organizations, but we are willing to shine unknown, and wait the time for our just reward, hoping that in the future, when Professor Boltwood speaks with feeling on his favorite theme of the good old times when everyone was honest and the boys and girls behaved well, he will have us Freshies of 1904 in mind. 32
