The Tribe of 1910. The tribe of 1910 Is here displayed to view, Behold our royal men, Behold the works they do, Unconquered through the years, Our banners we display, Beneath our emblem, green and white We've won our valiant way. All elements combined We form a band complete Some of our tribe admire the sword, And for oak-leaves do compete. Others on football field Rush the pig-skin o'er the goal, While others dance with ladies fair, Or in the moon-light stroll. But some extol the pen, And hope to welcome fame By dabbling in the literary line, And make themselves a name. Yet others rave o'er book, And to wisdom do aspire, Others in music take delight, And harp the melodious lyre. Various as we are, Diverse as we may be,. We'll never break our sacred ties, Those bonds of sympathy. So onward through the years, All our royal men Will ever faithful be To the class of 1910. 251 U

3 Junior Class History. It came to pass in the year A. D., 1906, by the supreme will of Cuje Ellis and the fates which control the destinies of mankind, that there was assembled in the town of Northfield, Vt., a motley crowd, collected from the four quarters of the globe, and embracing all sorts and conditions of humanity, from the nobility of China and Venezuela to the simple and unsophisticated farmer lads from the back- woods of Vermont. This was the unpromising material which was eventually to de- velop into the class of 1910. It is safe to say that some of us found our bright ideals of military life sadly shattered during those few weeks. For sometime we had looked forward to the time when we should shine forth resplendent in gorgeous uniforms, and execute marvelous and intricate maneuvers before admiring crowds, and it was a cruel disillusionment to be set at work learning to tell our right hands from our left, under the supervision of a very much disgusted corporal with an extensive vocab- ulary. This was too much for a few of the embryo soldiers, who at once developed cold feet, and retired in deep disgust. The greater part, however, stuck it out, and in place of the old ideal discovered a new one, much less showy, but possessing a fascination of its own much more satisfactory than any artincial one could possibly be. At length the upper classes began to look upon our gallant array of peoples and nationalities with more favor, for we became famed, contrary to all expectations, in the glorious art of war. It must be admitted, however, that in academic our regard was sadly lacking. As for athletics, our class was famed far and wide as being the only class that had furnished any athletic material for years. Our ambitions as to the Freshman- Sophomore game started to make us to believe that the proper thing to do would be to polish the HSophs off handsomelyq but our thoughtfulness for the feelings of our superiors induced us to allow the game to be a tie. As has been said we became famed as athletes for among our number were, such men as Reid the all round man of Norwich, Schakowski the man, who in one season made two hits out of twenty sever times at bat, Carswell, Campbell, Light, Maynard as football men, Cole and Earle appeared as a battery, while Brinkerhoff proved himself to be a worthy end. The most brilliant social function to the college year was the Freshman dance, and how expectantly the Sophs, awaited the time when the banner would appear and then by a glorious coup de tat it. would be theirs, but their fondest dreams were doomed to an ignoble defeat. But enough of the class of '09 disappointment, it is only fitting that we should speak of the bevy of beautiful ladies, the exquisite music, and a hall decorated as it never was before and never has been since. By this time our rookie days were numbered, the much talked of hike 32 '
