vs. UBICRLIN Col.I.lco1L PII-O-I'Il. Sl CLASS HISTORY. The little lamb of '91, Although he must grow old Before he put a sheepskin on, Can now a tale unfold. When Prin first beheld in Prepdonfs auroral etllu- ence this naked new-born babe striding the blast, hc declared it to be the finest he had ever seen, nor did hc recant after he had nursed it through the first attack of the pantaloonery. Very shortly we pushed into other things. In spite of faculty canons we purchased our far-famed tobacco plugsg their full significance would probably have never been discovered had Prof. King not worn a sample out to milk and it kicked his cow. Our Sophomore year nurses the memory of the captured-lunior lulla-by. We stole beneath the moon singing it soothingly and wept for pity because they substituted prose from the depleted state oftheir bard- ism. 5 This year has recorded magnificent triumphs. The vhole college rises up to bless us for our magnaminity 1 stuhing the athletic meetings and insuring such pagnificent oflicers and captains. From incessant 'ging, we have generously consented, in return, to dulge in the base ball penant. They say we so cn- ant them our ball seems like a phantom, by the way T 2 phanned them out, and if misfortune gave a man a t he found, with Shakespeare, we were able to 1 iark his favorite flies. Field-day came, and when - cloud of conflict cleared we claimed a bloodless tory. The cause ofjustice and peace had conquered. e Seniors were restrained from excessive crowing Q A M-my --M--A-PM n N .. .- n 1 2 n....I4Qiii,.,f fg with '14 :wird
