,1 V q?! Na Ki. 5: tie FRESHMAN HISTORY HERE is an old saying in this country of ours which has proved itself many times, but never has it been pmvezl so perfectly as by the Class of 1910. This saying is, NGreat minds run in the same channel. It was about the last of September and the first of October that a very observant person would have noticed strange, yet intelligcnt-looking, young men arriving in Cincinnati They were coming from all direc- tions; some riding in and some even walking in, but all headed for the same goal, The Ohio Dental College. When we reached the college, the first place we were directed to was the clinic, where we were met by a gushing young lady, who apparently had known us all of our lives. The next impression that was forced upon our minds was that there was 21 certain llVVayJ, which had to be observed by all Of the students, Seniors included. Things went well with us: unsuspecting Freshmen for about three days. Then one morning there was a eomrnor tion in the hall, and we arrived at the door of the technic room in time to see one of our men being bumped against the wall like a piston rod. To accomplish anything, an army must have a leader, and at that time we had none, 50 the Juniors escaped unpunishedebut wait. Two days later there was a Freshman elass-meeting, and we elected Mr. Hoblitzell as President, and thus the Class of 1910 was organized. About two weeks later we succeeded in catching a Junior and were attempting to bump him, when the remainder of the Junior Class rushed to his. assistancee-and then the tight began. The Juniors were victorious, but no honor is theirs, as our chance of winning was even less than that charge made by the ttLight Brigadeh in the Crimean War. Over half of our men were so frightened that they remained on the steps with the other spectators. We now thought that all rushingl, was over, but in this we were very much mistaken.

Monday evening at about eight o'clock we learned that our President had been kidnapped by the Juniors, and that it was our place to aid him if we could. We started out, but instead of aiding him we walked into the hands of the whole Junior Class, who soon had our hands tied, and were marching us down the street toward the river, where we were made to baptize ourselves, after which we were released. Our work now commenced in earnest, and We were kept busy until the Thanksgiving vacation, when the majority of the class went home for about five days of eating and sleeping. 0 After Thanksgiving it was work harder than ever in order to be ready for the Christmas examinations, Which were to come just before the holidays. The examinations were finished by Saturday noon, and by Monday the college was deserted From the Christmas holidays until the end of the year, there was nothing out of the ordinary happened, except the Psi Omega dance, which many of the Freshmen attended and enjoyed so much that they hoped there would be an- other one before the end of the year; At last the 1311211 examinations were over and we all said goodbye and success to the Seniors. -:1, 5.
