xiiii of Fn. limc ' ii and of iliiffcru, the iiriluiit Ultlc jui x. With their tiny comprehension and their cutely cunning wt G F it were not for the exalted opinion that the average Freshman has of himself he would, indeed, live a miserable life. The poor little fellow E Jg tinds few sympatiiizers during his first year at college. Th« mere fact of his being a Freshman closes all doors upon him. He enters college full of hope and condemnation that his has few equals and no superiors. But, oh, how soon are his hopes blighted and his feelings changed. It is only a little while before his is made to realize that he is a mere drop in the bucket. When thrown with the great ci ' owd of college men he realizes the small part that he plays and longs for the home and dear ones he left behind. Such is a fair picture of a boy beginning life in an American college. It becomes ray duty to speak of the Freshman at N. G. A. C. The class of ' 22 is one of the largest classes, if not the largest, that has ever entered this institution. In the class we find representatives from every portion of the old State of Georgia, and boys eager to attend the college have come from other states. A large ma.iority of the class of ' 22 have entered N. G. A. C. with the intention of remaining until they have received their dips, hut there are some few who have never let such an idea enter their head. It is said that in our class there is not a single one who knows where the dispensary is. I presume that the reason is that they have never asked the rats who run errands for them. The members of our class are very popular in society. It is very seldom that one of our members fails to receive an invitation to a big dance or reception. Here the kind jieople have a pleasant word and gentle smile to urge us along our long, long journey. There is one duty that every Freshman class is honor 4iound to perform. They owe it to the scoi ' es and hundreds who have traveled the long road before. The tower at N. G. A. C. must be painted. Tiiis year an excellent committee was appointed to perform this grave duty. I wish here to sound their praise, so faithful were they to tlieir trust. In athletics our class has done well. We had several members of the foot- ball team, also more than half of the basketball team, and are sure to have at least three on the baseball team. Sometimes it seems that ' 22 is a long way off, and many of us feel like giving up in despair. But the years pass quickly by and soon we will be Seniors. Oh, with what joy we look forward to that time. Then we can wear tall hats and carry large walking sticks. Then we can cease to drink mountain due, and quench our thirst with .sparking wines. When we think of this we think of telling time to hurry on and bring to us that happy day. I wish that space were allowed me to say .something of every member of my class. Each deserves special mention. But. alas, I cannot hope to speak individually of my classmates. All that I can say is that a better crowd of fellows were never gathered together. Such, kind reader, is our simple history. W ' hen }-ou know trials that a Freshman has passed through, I know we will have your symjiathy; if not. your applause and commendation. — Historian.
