 nphnmnri' Class History Iowa Wesleyan, “Specter of Things that Be,” smiled as he dipped his pen in the ink. “Surely, surely,” he wrote, “of the class of 1916 there is much to be said. In the fall of 1912 they came, seventy-five of them, with that unusual quality for Freshmen—apparent common sense. They learned that Freshmen have picnics, and they had one, such a jolly one with plenty to eat, that succeeded in making a class of them and it was a fortunate thing, because soon the quarrelsome Sophomores challenged them and they had the privilege of installing the “Push Ball Contest,” instead of having a free-for-all scrap. Yes, and the Freshmen beat them, and wildly exuberant, marched around the long-suffering square proclaiming their victory. The girls were proud of their men and later gave them a kitchen party where everyone, even Dr. Luebbers, wore aprons and helped prepare tilings. Then in the spring they had an indoors picnic, bcause it rained, and even that was fun. “With the fall they had lost sadly in numbers, but not in pluck and ‘pep’. They challenged the Freshmen, who outnumbered them three times, and fought like good ones. They had another dandy picnic—this time way down the ‘K line’, after which they came trailing home through the moonlight. They captured the Freshman banquet songs, to the disgust of those worthies, and sang them gleefully. “Sophomores are holding fourteen important offices in the Literaries and the Christian Associations this year. Four of them were in last year’s Wesleyan News Staff, and four are in the new one. Then, too, of the fifteen new Iota Phi elects, seven are Sophomores. They are a willing-to-work class and a good natured one and they will go on winning honors if I’m not mistaken,” finished the Specter, as he shook the ink from his pen. rid mmi'. am ! - ■' ■ .iO P i V l| Vi 11
