From the looks exchanged and the sniekering clone by the upper classmen, we must have been no exception to the usual Freshmen. During the first year we went through the usual trials of Freshmen and lost many of our classmates. This year we startecl in with a large class, anal although we have again lost a number of our members, we now boast of a class of twenty-three. Of course we are some class, nearly all of our members taking an active part in athletics, the girls being the winners of the inter-class basket ball championship. Ii. F. '13

Our class has the ex- 7 4'1h- ceptional honor of being the first to begin its X , , -'fe High School course under the consolidation. To ..f- the prodigious wonders from. both sides of this city are added four or five skillful talkers from -.12 Z the country and near villages. Vlie have undergone the usual uninteresting stages of being called Freshies and other opprobrious terms which are considered brilliant by the stupid upper classmcn. Wfe have patiently borne their doubting glances until we have proved ourselves not over-verdant, but worthy scholars of renown, who will some day be recognized by the dignified Seniors of the present. That the future generations may know how wonderful a class we are. I will introduce you to Rameses who always knows his Ancient History les- son and who will probably make a journey through the ancient countries. Most of our boys are good at base ball and other sports. One boy is noted for playing the part of a monkey, another is an excellent Latin scholar Q FD and we are confident that some day he will be a professor of Latin in llar- vard. A boy who is always drawing pictures, both when he knows and does not know his lessons, we expect will have a reputation as an illustra- tor or cartoonist. VVe have a professional 'illoc' in our class and when anyone becomes ill we just call on him to prescribe his day dreams. Several of the girls in our class have such sweet and musical voices that we expect they will be second Pattis. Others are making champions of themselves at basket ball. i Most of the class aspire to great riches, to learned professions, to grand opera or to society leadership. while the rest are equally famous for some- thing fme. but as space is limited it will be left for the reader to imagine.
