But not so with '93! Calmly and quietly did she begin, insignificant and unthought of were her baby days, but each day, each month like the builder's brick or stone, lent its help to raise her structure. For our greatest success as well as for the epithet that shall be attached to us, we look not only to our class alone, but to our latter days rather than our beginning. VVe do not know what that epithet will be, but let us be known by what we ourselves have done, not by what we couldnlt prevent being done for us. To Lawrence then we came September 12th, 1889, the year that crowned the school history of the class that has done so much to swell the reputation of Lawrenceville at the colleges. VVe need not describe our feelings at setting foot upon the ground here. Everyone who has been a school boy knows them. The sudden newness and our own curiosity were enough to make us forgetful at first of what we'd left behind us, but a few days sufficed to wear away the glamour, and then -, well, I think we can, with enough correctness, say that every boy, during the first few weeks, passes through a state of mental uneasiness which only devotion to work or possibly some acute means of enjoyment can allay. Qur First Form year passed away like a dream with no happening important enough to make it memorable, but judging from the latter end rather than from the beginning, we must have been, like Paul in the wilderness, building a solid foundation for what was to come, When I say we' I don't mean that all who began with ,QS are still numbered among us and 1 '2 protected by its strong arm-far from it-for what with the keen-edged reaper's O aj f blade called reass1gnment which plays its yearly havoc in every Form, what with the lightning strokes that have visited us as well F If . fi . l ift? 34, as all others during the thunder storms of love, and with the ,JD X thievish pranks of that butterfly, the summer girlg and last but Q saddest of all the vacancies made by the cold, gray hand of death, of the seventy f X odd that began with YQ3, only a scanty dozen remain to tell the tale, but around e-'Mfr that twelve is clustered a band, if not of as long standing, at least as loyal, as those who started us on our course. 2 I7
