history of ’95 THE Class of 95 has almost completed her third year in college, and again the historian is confronted with the task of relating her glori- ous deeds. What pleasant memories rise before me as I look back to the beginning of our Freshman year. I think of that first five o’clock chapel! How green we all were—all scared to death, the whole end of the church shaking in sympathetic vibrations with our knees. Our Freshman rush next comes to my recollection. That rush—’94 ought to blush now to think of it—but we’ll let that go—we were green Freshmen, it is true, but if we do say it ourselves, we were modest. Per- haps this fact was due to our good training. We were smart, and we used our brains that year; why, the professors actually began to wonder what they would do with so many valedictorians. We began the Sophomore year with the loss of two men, and though we had always lived in the hope, after our Freshman defeat, that we would win the next rush, alas! we encountered the largest Freshman class that had been seen since the war—consequently their five to one, and “ Rally ’96,” at last succeeded in defeating 11s. We were well represented in athlet- ics and held a prominent place in the Mandolin and (ilee Clubs. We all were very much attached to Analytics, some of us even doing so well that “ Dev.” encored us. Here we are upperclassmen, Juniors! Well, we have earned our promo- tion. Unfortunately, we lost our “ Hub” this year, but the wheel still turns. With all due consideration for former classes, we say with modesty, our Junior Promenade was the “greatest success of any dance ever given at Old Kenyon. Prominent Alumni present gave us this compliment and we gracefully acknowledge it. We grew proud of our success socially and de- cided to rest from our mental labors for a time. Owing to this decision, we may be detained in Gatnbier, but we love the dear old Hill, and we are pressing on in the same old groove marked out for us by Kenyon’s illus- trious sons. 25
