CLASS OF 1908 M0l!o.' A Paste Aa' Essef' K- F- BALDWIN, President C. N. BARBER, Vice-President F. S. STOW, Sec. and Treasurer 1.1. CHASE, Marshal COLORS!-PURPLE AND XVHITE JUNIOR HISTORY It is some three years now since 'o8 first entered within the classic portals of Old N. U. At that time we numbered fifty-three and the brightest, brainiest, and most brilliant set of men that had ever been gath- ered together here. All parts of the Union, from the rolling prairies of Oklahoma where the bad man sells poor booze to the painted redskin, to the windy sand dunes of Cape Cod where the buxom maid watches for the home coming of her stalwart hsher lad, were represented here. You would have known it had you seen us. Of course to this conglomeration most anything could be expected to happen. And things were happening all the time. Nero did his prairie dog stunts to perfection, Balt.,' Bill singing rag-time in that sweet soft soprano of his, was always around, and to see Bucko Ninis, Tommy Brown, Mad, McCarthy and Limpy Chase close together, one could not wonder at our brilliancy.

O It was in this year that the ,O7 banner disappeared and where it went the Sophs did not know. They thought the rats at No. 2 had eaten it and they might as well still think so. As Sophoniores some of us became Corporals because it is ordered thus in the Regulations. But the greedy juniors copped some, much to our sorrow. That we were a glittering success as non coins. was shown by the number of visits some of us paid to the ofiicc for consul- tation as to how the University should be run. Our treatment ofthe rocks was ideal, we being severe enough to expose their insignificance, but not so harsh as to be brutal. As usual, things came our way from academic prizes to denierits and always in showers. lJou't you know that Steve landed four of the gaudy ones and got so many demerils that his 3'
