isa I 97 FRE THM HI TTORY J L Of the Class of IQOS, O. C. D. S. 4, ,Sv 'L Behold, ilze co7zgzaering hero comes ! H iN the Sth of October, 1902, a Freshman Class, was i organized in Taylor Hall. Nomination and elections l followed, and soon the class was i11 the hands of able r? l officers. But no sooner was the organization complete than trouble began to brew. Everything seemed to take on X a warlike aspect- even the atmosphere. junior and I Freshman passed in the corridors, glared, and stiffened their sinews, each ready for the brunt of battle. It came during a quiet meeting on October 17th-quiet as the silence that precedes a storm. The class was called to order in Taylor Hall, and had just begun business when a terrible crash came against one of the doors. The juniors had made one of their famous onslaughts. But it proved their lfVaterloo. After a sharp, quick struggle. they were vanquished, thereby establishing the independence and re- spect of this class. Thus our little craft was set adrift in the sea of Student Life, headed for the port of Seniordom As we all know, the life of a Freshman is not a bed of roses, he has his trials and tribulations. He must be able, by the way, to answer all questions fBlack's Anatomyjg to prevent himself from straying into the Operative Clinic via the front door, and, should he succeed in entering as per directions, he is only to remain long enough to receive his letters from home, if any, after which he is to immediately confine himself to the noises of the Prosthetic Laboratory. These are only some of the hardships to which a Freshie is subjected Space will not permit the depiction of all the obstacles that confront him Still it seems that all are satisfied with their lot, even the ladies fGod bless themj, who are among the hardest and most earnest workers of the class. During the subsequent meetings of the class, everything of benefit to its members was discussed, and when Thanksgiving came around, an old custom was carried out, in which james and George, the janitors, were the recipients of two fine turkeys, much to their gratification. At about this time the mid-term examination loomed up before us. a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, and much uneasiness was manifested throughout the class, Then it was that our corps of Diplomats distinguished themselves, and, after their verdict, everybody was fixed for the Exam., and the fear of the much dreaded ' Flunk was dispelled. At the last report, it was learned that everybody passed, despite the fact that we studied dili- gently CPD. It is to be wished that we emerge from the next un- scathed. As we near the finis of our Freshman history, it is'with the hope that the incidents of this year will ever remain fresh i11 the mind of every Freshie, and when we are far away from our Alma Mater, may we look back with fondest recollections of the class that conquered.
