VER since the foundation of colleges, ever since the beginning of history, yea, ever since Adam and Eve ate the apple in the garden, freshmen have been the object of gross misrepresentation and abuse. It is therefore the object of this paper to make known to mankind a few of our most worthy deeds, trusting that all who read them will know instantly that we are not only upright, intelligent and loyal students but that we are the ablest and most important class in the whole school. But, notwithstanding, all of our good qualities, we have been shamefully mistreated by the sophs, juniors and seniors. On September 5th, when the great throng of boys and girls mingled in the chapel room, all the classes, it is true, were exeedingly large, but lo! the freshmen class led all the rest. This class numbered' over sixty, the largest one lever enrolled in the Greenfield high school. While we possessed the quantity we also had the quality, this was probably the cause of the juniors and seniors looking up- to us with such envy and hate which only served to make us strive harder each day to so far surpass them that they would wish they were in some deep hole or away back in some deep forest where they could see no human beings, nothing but their own rightful companions, the owls and rabbits. And so we did. ' Our class grew and grew and kept on -growing, in wisdom, so that the school board decid- ed we needed another pedagogue to teach us what we didn't already know, so by return 'mail, came in a brunette with black hair and large lustrous eyes, who almost inspired us with awe, she looked so intelligent. P Q When this new teacher was shipped in, our class was divided into two sections and each section tried to see which could do the better work, but each' one failed, since we were all so perfect that we couldn't be excelled by any one. We kept learning so many new things that by this time we were many times smarter than any other class in school. But some of our members 'by this time had decided their brain could be crammed no full- er, so they returned to their homes in the country Csome in townj to find out whether they had quite forgotten the use of the plow or the dish pan, for we believe in physical training as Well as intellectual. It was supposed that the plows and the dish pans worked well, for we have seen those boys and ,girls but few times since they left here. Our class is now especially noted for its great poet, Miss Bertha Shrewsbury, whom we all believe will someday win great fame and will be a Milton-ess or Wordsworth-ess the second: also, for its greatitheme writers, Misses Maude Vaughn, Maud Allison, Esther Nathan and Clyde Johnston. Two rare qualities to be possessed by freshmen. When we selected our class motto, Hesse quam videre, we resolved to live up to it, and we couldn't have succeeded any better than we have. We have had a delightful time regard- less of how we have been roasted, thumped-and bumped around, made fun of by the higher classmen, and we have nothing at all to regret as we think over our past Work. We have looked up to no one but ourselves: we have had our lessons well every day, we feel as if we have gained a victory, and as a reward for it, the expression on our professor's face seems to say: Well done, good and faithful servants. We firmly believe this. Although as freshmen we have been advisors on but few imdortant points, when we are seniors we intend to rule the whole school with our mighty power, for who is better qualified for such a high position than we? No one.
