FRESHMAN HISTORY. MVC, the Freshman Class, entered about one hundred and forty strong in the fall of 1908. As a class we consider ourselves fortunate in having such a fine new building in which to study and we also congratulate ourselves on the fine corps of teachers. ' The motto of the class is Nike,', meaning victory. Wfhat could be bet- ter and what does it mean? It means that the Freshman Class will be suc- cessful in baseball, and everything that it undertakes, and our yellow and white will indeed be a badge of honor. NVC had no more than settled down to work when the Sophomores and the other classes decided that we needed hazing. And they tried it with very indifferent success, for when they saw our giants, they did not dare to at- tack us in a bunch, but like bullies attacked us one by one and made feeble effort to be funny at our expense. But some of us were obliged to give elo- quent orations, while others climbed a small pole, high enough to converse with the moon, and others sang beautiful ballads. But all these things are trifies, because the Freshmen are equal to any thing. After awhile, things quieted down so that we could get started at our work in earnest. Everything went smoothly for the Freshmen until the first monthly exams took place. Then we were terrior stricken, not knowing what to expect from our teachers.

Soon the Christmas vacation came. and it was the most welcomed event ol the year. The half yearly exams came all too soon. Not a Freshman will soon forget those four terrible days. Our honor and dignity counted for nothing. VVe were scattered all over the room. Some of us are still wondering how they knew just the questions that we were not prepared on. But there is an end to all things. After the exams were over, we were very anxious to find out our marks. The teachers got very tired of our persistance in asking for them. The ones that passed were glad, but the ones who failed were blaming every one but themselves. T Our second meeting to elect officers was a success. Gur principal be- ing present had something to do with this. His stern eye 'held them in Check, but some of the bold ones were able to carry on the business, The
