I 91 0---lts Annals. Once upon a time, not so very long ago, there came to the Land o' Parsons some people whom the inhabitants called Freshmen. not that they were fresh, Oh, no, but because it was customary, you know. These Freshies fthat's a nickname, were so cute that everyone was just crazy over them. Then too, they were so smart and original that they never cut classes nor did silly things like that. Bye-and-bye they wanted some class colors, so people could tell them from the Seniors fthe folks that have learned all there is to be known in the Land, so they went out into the country where the Sophomores fthe people who think they know so muchl couldn't find them. But the Sophs fthat's another nicknamej did find them, and what do you think? the Freshies sent them home! It was the funniest thing ever. Besides this, the next day the Freshies beat the Sophs in the class scrap, too. One night after a big snowfall they took two of the biggest bob-sleds and went far away to an oyster supper. They had a lollypaloozer time, you know. Then, once the boys gave a banquet to the girls and then the girls gave the boys a dinner party. They were swell affairs, and the Sophs were awfully sore because they hadn't thought of doing such things. But then the Freshies were so cute and original, you know. Another time they all cut chapel and went down to the Crow to have a picnic, but those Sophs stole the grub, but the Freshies didn't care-honest they didn't-because they weren't the least bit hungry. Then at the end of the year they had a farewell pic- nic on Cedar, and it was a glorious time they had. Now these Freshies are Sophomores, and they still do the most original things. At the First of the year they got out edicts with rules and advice to 191 l, which were the funniest things yet. Then later on the girls played basket 'ball with the Freshies, and beat them. Wasn't that great? This class of l9lO will soon be Juniors, and they will just keep on doing cute and original things, in spite of the fact that they will be properly dignified, and all 'the other classes will say they are the smartest yet. 33
