After Gene VValsh, he of the Vigilance Com- mittee, overruled all of the numerous objections offered by the Freshmen and bluntly refused a Senate Investigation, the fun began, but not for us. On Friday of that week, most of the Freshmen walked unsuspectingly into Smith Auditorium. Having performed our duty, we were directed to an adjoining room. Still unsuspicious, we entered. Inside, the Sophs awaited us with joy, and with clubs, blackjacks and pieces of lead pipe. Imagine our embarrassment at not having any Murads! To be fair to our opponents, we must state that they acted like gentlemen. VVe sauntered right through while they, with closed eyes, swung mightily and did their best to annihilate one another. But we were not always so fortunate. Some time later, after an A. A. rally, our way to the campus was blocked by a group of blood-thirsty Sophomores. Led by Cohalan and Martin we circled the gym and crashed the entrance at the side of the chapel. The Sophs objected and the battle waxed warm until Brother Cornelius called Time out. Our friends won the Tug-o-VVar, taking two out of three tugs by fair means or foul, but we vindicated ourselves in the mud Hght, making the Sophomores look like Egyptian mummies. The last tussle was the Freshman-Sophomore football game. Again, to be fair, we must say that ,31 distinguished itself. The game was frequently delayed while .Iim Mumblo, with the aid of a pick and shovel, dug Sophs out of the soft dirt of Jasper Field. The game ended when all the Freshmen had dropped of exhaustion from making so many touchdowns. As soon as was conveniently possible, we elected our regular class officers. Ed Lyons was elected President, Jack Campion, Vice-President, Arthur Shea, Secre- taryg Carl Delaucia, Treasurer, George O'Keefe, Student Council Representative, and Bill Higgins, A. A. Representative. It would not be amiss here to express our gratitude to those who led our work of organization. Bill Dargin as temporary president, .Iohnny Del Negro as vice-president, Ed Lyons as secretary, and Carl DeLucia as treasurer, rendered invaluable service. In extra-curricular activities, we gave to Manhattan its iirst Freshman football team, a corking cross-country team, and a championship basketball team. In the intellectual line we have representatives in the Hayes Dramatic Club, in the Band, on the staff of the Quadrangle and in the Debating Society. WVe have endeavored to become real Manhattanites, that we may soon join our brothers of '29 in the ranks of distinguished alumni.

Eager-eyed, yet reverential, we inspected our new Alma Mater. Un- waveringly we trod the Senior VValk, and unsuspectlngly we murmured a friendly -ll HelloH to the Sophomores. But our troubles soon began. 3 VVe experienced our initial adventure when we were inveigled into Smith ', Auditorium for our Hrst meeting. It was to be a Freshman Meeting. A curly- J headed rogue, a Sophomore, presided. He introduced us to John Sullivan, Presi- dent of the Class of '31, who smilingly welcomed us to Manhattan, the while plan- X ning bigger and better means of torture. YVe were then informed as to what a l Vigilance Committee was, and what were its diabolical functions. VVe were to purchase our Kelly green caps and ties by the end of the week and, because we ' 2 V 1 4 i One Hundred Fifty-115110 H l ,4- V .Y W Zi 1 ,As Vx I R. wt fix Y J' NJJPXJY -1 'J - .
