iltitntnrig nf 'HE It is needless to enumerate the many virtues of the Freshman class, for by its undaunted courage, its daring exploits, its glorious victories, it has established an envi- able reputation which promises for the future an hon- orable and successful career. The first signs of future greatness were made evi- dent on the evening of january 13, when the class of '08 assembled at the home of one of our prominent Sopho- mores for the purpose of organization, while the afore- said Sophomore was racing madly about the streets, white with anxiety, gathering up a few Sophomores and Seniors for the purpose of ascertaining where the Fresh- men were and what they were doing. However the de- sired information was not obtained as the Freshmen transacted their business and went quietly and unmo- lested to their homes. The first event of importance by which the Fresh- men were to distinguish themselves was on the occasion of the principal social event of the term, the evening of March 15th. At the appointed hour they set boldly out on a chartered car for Lake Park where an enjoyable evening was spent. Towards the close of the evening the announcement was made that the Sophomores, with their valiant allies, the Seniors and Preps, were on the war-path and were coming down to annihilate the Fresh- men. But the Freshmen showed themselves equal to the occasion. Many plans were discussed and soon they were on their way homeward, while the Sophomores ow- ing to their usual stupidity, were carried past the Fresh- men to the park,where they were compelled to remain un- til time for the next car, while the Juniors and Freshmen were celebrating their glorious victory by a triumphal procession up and down the streets of Mount Union. On the'evening of May 3, 1905, the Sophomores en- tertained the Seniors at the home of one of the Sopho- mores who resides at North Benton, about five miles from the street car line. The Freshmen, not being daunted, set out in hot pursuit. They arrived just as their worthy opponents were starting on their homeward journey, on large hay-wagons hired for the occasion. They immediately surrendered perceiving that resistance was useless. The valiant Freshmen then took posses- sion of the wagons, enjoying themselves to the fullest extent. At length it was decided that the only way out of the difficulty was to call in the aid of the police, and this they proceeded to do, thus acknowledging their de- feat openly, As the first streaks of light began to tinge the eastern sky they started homeward, 'reaching their destination in time for a 7:40 class. The future career of '08 promises to be one unexcelled in the history of Mount Union College. -Historian ,o8.
