YELL-Rah! rah! rah! Rah! rah! rah! Rah! rah! rah! Ninety-Seven ! N THE hard-beaten path which the Senior ponies have left behind, we 1nark with fingers Ccruelly col- ored by chemicals collected from Prof. Hurd's room during recitation hoursj the third successful year of our College Course. For three long, prismatic years have we pushed the class of '96 out of the shoes which yearly their feet refused to enter. Here is a phenomenon for which even Prof. Cushing can not account. The absorbed knowledge which undergoes chemical fermentation upon entering the Senior mind, devel- opes the creature in the region of the slipper instead of the tile. You have heard of us, fellow-students, and you have yet 1nore to hear. Ever since we were embryo Freshmen the envious class of '96 has watched with sinister eye our every dunlors.- Men movement, but not even by practicising before a full-length mirror could they imitate us. .We are the all essentials of worthy Old Knox. We hold more loyalty and more class spirit than any class has ever held since her doors were thrown open to whomsoever could pay S45 a year tuition and S5 a week board. We remember insult removed even a year, and will not allow our girls to draw Senior boys for class parties. We care very little for society, but we often hold little social chats in the library or class rooms, and have been known to have a good time on these occasions. 'George Washington's birthday was originated for the con- venience it afforded in proving to the Seniors, who sat in the front rows of Alumni Hall dressed zz la wa1'ler, that '97 is greater than '96. . lilglvnillxclecl men

After this demonstration the Faculty instructed us to wash the hands and faces of the Preps, those almost human-look- ing Newfoundland-cared objects, which Prof. Churchill will tell you were unearthed by Prof. Needham in one of his bug- ological expeditions against West Galesburg, near the pebble clad banks of the gently flowing Cedar Fork. I remember having heard a rather pathetic description of a party the before-mentioned Seniors once gave. It was a sad party, consisting principally of stale jokes twined gracefully about wall flowers, and supporting as a background ice cream and bakery lady fingers. They held a class meeting, and decided they would ask the Juniors to unite with them Cthe Juniors paying the expenses of the penurious Senior studentsj in a class party. The mighty phalanx of '97 lined up, and on a broad grin, edged with cardinal and silver monogrammed Thanks, sent the roasted invitation back, while side by side with it lay our decidedly unanimous Non. The next day in the Senior camp there was much weeping and gnashing of false teeth. However, they had made all due arrangements for renting their pumps and borrowing their fans, so they could not give it up. ffl, iffy X , rl it ' ,K 3. r W . s if I. r na vm vo x A X X . 1 Perhaps, darling reader Cdear is obsoletej, you may think we have been too harsh in our treatment of the poor Senior, Whose much tutored mind still sees hayseeds in his hair of every kind, but if you will for one moment coax the kaleido- scope of time your way, it will prove to you that even when the turf shall be green above the last milestone of our fame, and when the long lapse of ages Cwhich the Seniors never would tellj has made our locks white as snow, and when the sentinel moon has for the last time listened to the gentle murmurings of the sympathetic willow leaves, as in sad, low moans they soothe the wildly-tossed flow of our ambitions, it will prove to you that we were not. And if in after life, by the hunted look in his eye or the rose on his cheek Cthey were always noted for the way their cheek rose when taxes were leviedj, you should recognize a member of the brass band of '96, be kind to him, for although his hand be palsied with age and his voice weak from much usage, he, too, will join with Freshman, Sophomore and Prep in showering botanical specimens of merit on the Ujlfhzst Wbrlhy f11m'of's. ,ff I I f y. l 1 1 lull w., 1 D -1 I, x X f7 f!
