When we're scattered and parted and broken And our class but a memory lies, Then haply we'll glance at this token, Knit strongly by friendshipys glad ties. And a gladness, a joy, will come o'er us, A feeling of sorrow may be And of nien1'ries, half dimmed, will a chorus Sweep o'er us like waves of the sea. By the Future we may be forsaken -Dread mystery sealed to our eyes- Yet the Past from us ne'er can be taken For a mem'ry so joyous neler dies. So farewell to you, Comrades and Brothers. Farewell to thee, Class of our heart, Until Death in oblivion covers, Thy mem'ry will ne'er from us part. WINSTON T. TOWNSEND Ebe Glass of 1IQinetQ:sexven .,.1 .Q k .1 , . ' -..

'sexi' W5 ' g?f9xwgf HEN, as the Junior Class, we assembled in the Chapel, and re- M Q ceived our first instruction regarding our studies and divisions, Q we numbered seventy-three, of whom forty-nine were Academic Qi and twenty-four Scientific. In Junior Middle year the class had increased and multi- plied in the land until our number was swelled to sixty-three in the Academic and fifty-six in the Scientific department, a total of one hundred and nineteen. At the beginning of the Middle year the Scientific side had taken a big spurt and then numbered seventy-one, while the Academic side fell to fifty-nine, making in all one hundred and thirty, the greatest number the class ever reached. 'When Senior year came around, we found that, from various reasons, we only succeeded in numbering one hundred and eight. Of these sixty-six were Academic and only forty-three Scientific. Alas, there was great sorrow among the survivors for the fallen, some of whom had studied more than they ought and had gone to college with '96, while others had studied less than they ought and had fallen back to '98. Still others had decided to leave school for good, and four members of the class had died. - Only eighteen fellows have succeeded in going through the whole four year course with the class, and these are Richardson, VVoolsey, Fulton, White, Lauder, Jameson, Hubbard, McCauley, I. H. Thomas, Dodson, M. A. Sullivan, Ficke, Symonds, Cropley, Young, Curtis, Z. E. French, and P. L. Whitiiey. Only two of these, Hubbard and Lauder, are on the Scientific side. The classiication of the class is as follows : Massachusetts, Rhode Island, 2 New York, - Vermont, - I Connecticut, Kansas, - I Illinois, - Florida, - I Pennsylvania, Montana, I Maine, - - Nebraska, I New Hampshire, Kentucky, I New Jersey, - Missouri, - I Indiana, - California, I Michigan, - Tennessee, 1 Ohio, - - Minnesota, I Wisconsin, - Colorado, - 108 '97's 3unior pear. JP the 13th day of September, 1893, there strolled into Phillips Academy, Andover, a band of singularly striking young men. M little did they know that around this nucleus would gather a class, W S' A iq ' ' i ti Q it Little did they know the future honor and renown awaiting them 3 I 'ngiRNi,.. Q27 from which would come orators and statesmen, poets QQ and athletic champions. But any observant by-stander could not fail to prophesy a great future. Lofty brows, a thoughtful mien, frank open faces-something must surely come of all this. Seventy-one withstood the dread ordeal of a first examination. 'With what trembling of the knees did we faintly speak our names to that instructor, whom later we learned to know so well as a delightful story-teller ! And with what pride did we swagger down the street, members of Phillips Academy and of the Class of '97 ! But alas the verdant Prep., though he had successfully passed his exams., had other attacks to withstand, which his pliant nature ill knew how to meet. A horde of harpies presently swept down on him, making a well- filled purse like unto the brain of him called upon to recite the day after a cele- bration. Seniors, in softly persuasive tones, instilled the idea into his head that every fellow, for the honor of the school, and more especially every junior Chow careful they were 11ot to use the word Prep. lj should give at least 3520 to the foot-ball team. Then of course came the Mirror and Phillipianf' which had to be taken, for wouldn't Papa and Mamma want to know all the scores of the games ? After having in this way satisfactorily met all pecuniary demands upon him, the Prep. settled down to work. In those halcyon days, morning chapel was not until 8.10, and even then the Prep. was always last to come, and Cas is the time-honored customj always first to leave. The Prep. listened with joy to stories of G. 'Washington, privately resolv- ing to imitate said glorious statesmen. With what admiration did he listen to the sharks in Arithmetic, earnestly trying to prove to Mr. Allen that he was all wrong, and that their way was much better. How boldly did he Cthough inwardly quakingj get up in Forum or Philo and spout his inanities. 48 97's AYUNIOR YEAR But glorious though the individual achievements of the Preps. Were, they realized that organization was necessary for the renown of the class as a whole. A meeting was therefore held in which, after many weary ballots and some election- eering, Qfor even the Prep. knew how to pull the wiresb the lot of the gods fell upon a certain Strother, whose stay in our class, was, owing to a prejudice conceived against him by the faculty, alas only too brief. The Prep., not being intimately acquainted with the classics, wisely refrained from choosing a motto at the time, but left that to future years Cwith the kind assistance of the Profsj. The next event of importance was the Tennis Tournament, in which our champion, the versatile XV. G. Parker Cwho drew for Life, you knowD easily defeated all comers. In the Exeter Tournament, on Oct. 18th, he defeated Crapo, of Exeter, without difficulty and, together with Prentiss, '94, secured the championship in doubles. The same Parker gave us the running high and running broad jumps and the r2o yd, hurdle in the Handicap Tournament. Then came that dire foot-ball game with Exeter, in which ,Q7 embodied in the stalwart center, Pierson, struggled bravely but ineffectually to stem the tide. Again was noted that little peculiarity of always having the champions, for in one of the strongest foot-ball teams Andover has ever had, Pierson, a Prep., secured the cup for best playing in the Exeter game. Days passed and the Christmas vacation approached. Laden with trophies of scholarship and physical prowess, the ,Q7 man sallied homeward, to astonish his former associates, now converted into awed admirers. The vacation passed quickly Cas what vacation does not ?j and when next the old bell began to awake the yawning Prep. in time to cut chapel by one and three-quarters minutes, the band of eager searchers after truth was augmented by some who later became famous in one line or another. Now was the time for work, and the Prep. put in big licks. He began to discover one or two things. The ambitious youth who wanted to copy G. Washington, began to observe that the delightful story-teller had not of late thrown any new side-lights on that,l1ero's character. In fact he had pretty nearly exhausted the story of the hatchet and the one about G. NV. 's dislike to mendacity. 49 THE '97 CLASS BOOK The sharks in arithmetic also began to find that Mr. Allen did know some- thing about that branch of science after all. However, the Prep. became wiser and wiser as days grew on,'less verdancy was noticeable about him, though he was unmistakably of the genus Prep. He next showed his might in the Winter Tournament. Here Pierson, in a hot fight, gave us the Heavy Weight Boxing, while Romig took the Feather VVeight without serious trouble. In the Spring Tournament, Richardson was the only T97 man to get a place. This, however, was not owing to lack of material, but because the Prep., was so deeply absorbed i11 trying to master the intricacies of amo that only four inen entered. The roll of deeds of valor is now nearly done. One event occurred, however, which made the Prep. proud of his class, that it contained so daring a soul. For on May 9th took place a meeting to pay off the debt of the Masque, the annual of 1893. The Prep., having already spent the larger portion of his inheritance in paying subscriptions and i11 buy ing encyclopzedias and other necessary articles at the Andover Bookstore, was not bidding high enough to suit the worthy teller. Up the11 stepped that personage, Symonds, of Auburn, N. Y. In clarion tones he summoned us to show our school-spirit. Was ,97 to be behind all the rest? Nay, nay! Not on your life I Greatly aroused, and even moved to tears at the thought of his remissness, the penitent Prep. endeavored to atone for his fault by emptying his pockets of every red. Here then is the proof of our boast that '97 began its glorious career by producing one of the most excellent Prep. classes ever known. And now, at the end of our course, as we recall in memory the many who have left us, well might some Webster arise and say : Venerable men, you have come down to us from a former generation. But, alas, you are not all here I Parker, Rogers, Williams, our eyes seek for you in vain amid this broken band. Yet they did not spend their year here in vain. For they have played their part, whether prominent or no, in developing one of the finest, truest and best of Phillips Andover classes. EUGENE NEWTON Cmarrs. 50 97's 3unior flbibble lpear nlled with a firm determination to hold Ninety-eight strictly M within the narrow bounds of Prephood, and to convince Ni11ety- ' six that there was, at least, one class in school which could not be Z .fy - f as: N FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th, we again met in the chapel, '- x jk c X jf overawed by them. With the help of some new fellows, and a few ex-Ninety-six men, who appreciated the importance of being junior Middlers, we now numbered a hundred and nineteen. On our return we noticed only a few changes, the most important of which were the addition of three new profs. to the faculty, and the appearance of John Hudson Thomas in long trousers. The first event which we had to prepare for, was the annual cane rush with Ninety-six. A committee was appointed, and the necessary arrangements soon made. It was secretly announced through the class that the rush would be held directly after the foot-ball game, the last VVednesday of October, but through some unaccountable agency the Middlers were informed of the time, and it was postponed. A new committee was appointed but nothing was done, and on November 9th the class voted to abolish the rush, and substitute a base- ball game in the spring. This was the first of Ninety-seven's many reforms, and Cwith the exception of Ninety-six, who with the great lack of discernment which they always showed regarding our actions, declared it was done out of cowardicel, was generally approved by both school and faculty. On November 14th, the Hrst of the annual Lawrenceville-Andover foot- ball games was played at Lawrenceville. Ninety-seven was represented by I. C. Pierson at center, and G. P. Elliot at left half-back. In spite of the efforts of our men, Lawrenceville won by the score of twenty-two to six. January 24th the candidates for the school ball team were called out, and a week later the track team started training. On both teams N inety-seven men made excellent showings. February 18th, at a school meeting, A. H. Richardson, ninety-seven, was elected a manager of the foot-ball team for ninety-six. Sl THE '97 CLASS BOOK At a meeting of the class held about this time, I. XVentworth was elected temporary captain, and A. H. Richardson, manager of the class base-ball team. About forty fellows immediately began practicing in the gym., and their work gave great promise of a good team. On April 12th, occurred one of the few sad incidents, which have marred the pleasantness of our course through Andover. Ralph Eugene Potter, our class-mate, and a fellow well known and liked throughout the school, died of congestion of the brain, after an illness of less than two days. His death threw a sadness over the school, which was not soon thrown OH. We all remember when the savage bands of Kickapoo Indian braves established their encampment down on the cricket grounds, and their big medicine men preached with illustrations the great merits of Kickapoo Indian Sagwa and other healing herbs dug from the wilds. Most of the school attended in the evening, and attempted to start a side show which would put the regular performance in the shade. Report has it that the attempt was a success. At any rate, the wily red men decided that Andover students were sufficiently animated without the use of any tonic, and straightway left for parts unknown. At length all was ready for the great game, and the date set for May 29th. With the assistance of Ninety-five, Ninety-seven accumulated such an assort- ment of cannons, fireworks, horns, and drum corps as made the Middlers hide their heads in shame and fright. We also enlisted on our side a traveling circus which came to town that day. The Ninety-seven team was VVentworth, c., Mintree, p., Burns, ist, Kinne, 2nd, Wakefield, 3rd, Manning, s., Macfarlane, r. f., W. H. White, c. f., and Pingree, l. f. 'What followed en- tirely justified our action in abolishing the cane rush, as so much noise and excitement was never before seen in Andover. Unfortunately, the ofiicial reports of the game were kept in the gym., and were burned with that noble structure last spring, so that it is impossible to state which team won. It ought to be sufficient, however, to say that before the game the betting was two to one on Ninety-seven. Although the school team had been playing very erratically, we still had some hope of winning from Lawrenceville, and when the game came off early 52 '97's fUN1OR MIDDLE YEAR in June, they had the hearty support of the school. The result was an over- whelming defeat for Lawrenceville, by a score of eleven to nothing. This was chiefly due to the pitching of Sedgwick, N inety-seven, who, besides allowing them only three hits, did some very effective batting and base running. Elliot, Ninety-seven, also played an errorless game at short. During the year Ninety-seven was Well represented on the Phillipian,'l and also on the Musical organizations. The class showed a marked interest in all school aifairs, and although but still young in school succeeded in having representatives in nearly all the organizations to which we were eligible. G. L.

' help being impressed with the similarity of my task to that of the old lady in the nursery rhyme who tried to sweep off the NJKN 5 seashore. Somehow, after she had brushed and worked all day, N it , C -, there seemed to be just as much left. Thus it is with '97, S0 many and so various have been her accomplishments, and so prominently has she outshone all other classes, that we can only bend our heads in awestruck admiration, and exclaim with Shakespeare, O wonder- ful, wonderful and most wonderful, wonderful I and yet again wonderful and after that out of all whooping. But as to our Middle year. The first thing We did, after We had gathered our scattered members together, was to hold a class meeting. Now, our class meetings are our specialty and inspiring sights they are apt to be. Our enemies have sometimes maligned our good name, and called us footless, but never have they dared to call us windless. What other class ever boasted the possession of both a Symonds and a Freund? But it was not only in oratory that we excelled. We went into athletics with a vengence, and proudly laid our devotion of five men upon the altar of Mars Footballicus. But victory was not to be ours with Lawrenceville, and upon the issue of a disputed goal we were defeated I2 to io. When the foot-ball season was over we turned our atten- tion to Literature-with a large L-and fairly overwhelmed the Phillipian and UD Mirrorw with our effusive contributions. VVe had already several men upon the Phillipian but toward the end of the year we fairly owned the board, having the chairman, a 197 man, and live other editors from the same class. The To be, or not to be question of the Co-op. next absorbed us. As usual we came to the front in this, and made several very telling speeches g but finally, after many thrilling meetings, a long delay of the committee and much general discussion, profitable and otherwise, the Co-op. was buried, and now lies quietly in its grave. Reguiesfazf in pace ! Soon after the Co-op. discussion came the grandest and most important event which has occurred in the laurel-crowned annals of Andover, Csave only when the Father of his Country took dinner .here, and almost brought an un- 54 97's MIDDLE YEAR timely death upon himself by attempting to eat and digest an Andover land- lady's pancake-it is said the same batch of cakes are still served up by the good lady's descendantsj The event to which we refer is, of course, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Andover. It was indeed an-ever-to-be-remembered - and- thank-your-lucky-stars-you-were - able-to-see-it celebration. The Seniors turned out in black caps and gowns in the morning, and white Cnightj gowns in the evening. We aided these dignified gentlemen to the best of our ability in the latter, and certainly the night shirts were more of a popular success than the gowns. The next event which happened to us as a class was most unfortunate. XVe prefer not to say much upon this subject-the class base-ball game. The strains are still ringing in our ears of that insulting and wholly unnecessary song : Nineteen-eleven, nineteen-eleven, Who ever heard--.U But the rest of it really doesn't matter. Sufficient is it to say that if good base-ball could have won the day, it would have assuredly been ours, but the offensive and vulgar methods to blow our players to pieces quite disgusted us, and besides, no really self-respecting class would care to beat '98 any way. After seeing that class game one could always appreciate better that description of the battle in H Paradise Lost, Sonorous metal blowing martial sounds : At which the universal host up sent A shout that tore hell's concave, and beyond Frightened the reign of Chaos and old Night. It is a beautiful description of the irst inning of the class game, which, by the way, lasted two hours, and could have given even the New York Stock Exchange points on noise. Well, ,Q7,S Middle year was almost ended. We hnished up bravely by giving the base-ball team tive men and incidentally took our examsfl Most of us who were here during Middle year are still in ,Q7, many of us are gracing the outside world with our presence 5 some of us have joined our fortunes to '98, but where is there one of us who will not give heart and hand to '97 and wish her sons the best the earth has to offer? WrNsToN TRowBR1DGE TOWNSEND. 55 '97's Senior Dear. Wm 7 YEAR AGO at this time, Andover was resounding with the mv' praises of a very big and very noisy class called '96, which had a X W picturesque way of blustering about its own achievements, and then of accomplishing extremely little. And then '96 graduated, and left behind them as a legacy-What? Absolutely nothing bf N '. ly, 1 dz , aa t that we can discover, except the front seats in Chapel, and a pur- plish banner with the device Inalis Lita, Talis Ita, which was at first supposed to be one of Van Buren's classic jokes, but was eventually removed, as no one could be found who would undertake to translate it, and it is now generally supposed to have been turned to some practical use by a certain member of the faculty g possibly as a blanket for one of his bull dogs. And then '97,e-little '97, so much ridiculed by '96-CZHIIG into the field, and has been engaged ever since in accomplishing things, in a way that has set a pretty stiff pace for posterity. The old Gymnasium had been a subject of calumny and editorials for years, but it was WQ7 who first put its foot down and declined to use it at all, though it must be admitted that providence had some- thing to do with this decision. The next thorn in the flesh of all good P. A. men was the Exeter question, and the happy settlement of this is another achievement of '97's Senior year. '96 was so satisfied with her foot-ball team that she took most of it with her, when she left, and made insolent observa- tions about the decline of athletics which would set in after her departure. Yet it took '97 to build a new bleacher to accommodate the crowdfand then lick Exeter so neatly and thoroughly that some people wondered if Exeter had been playing at all. Andover will not soon forget that game 5 the sea of blue flags on the west side of the field which went crazy at each of the numerous touch-downs 3 the handsome sawdust which was so lavishly strewed in front of the south goal, and the heroic self-denial of the L. C. man who worked the megaphone. And then we Went to Lawrenceville 3-but let us follow the example of the Glee Club, and touch on this point lightly, Never mind, YQ7, every team must have its streaks of hard luck, particularly after a winter in Capua like the Exeter game. 56 97's SENIOR YEAR Another achievement of '97's which had been passed by for several years was a fall track tournament. And the cups that they gave to winners were about the size of the average English bath-tub, so that the school wondered somewhat if the spring tournament cups were going to be correspondingly large, in proportion to the corresponding importance of the spring tournament. But a word of caution should be given here to L. C. men. If you do decide to bathe in your cup, use cold water, for if you use hot water, you will find that all is not silver that glitters. The Sound Money Club was another organization which it took '97, aided by a presidential election, to develop, and a large majority of the school, with an impartial sprinkling of Democrats, Populists and an occasional Prohibition- ist, turned out to scare some oihcial horses half to death in front of the rail- road station, and then adjourned to the Town Hall, where they heard fitting sentiments, and made appropriate comments. And it is quite needless to add, if the reader has been long in Andover, that we went home via the Fem Sem grounds, where various things took place. And the only base suggestion afloat in regard to this whole affair was, that there was collusion between the laundry agency and the instigators of the white duck trousers marching costume. And then '97 got to work and settled the matter of giving A H caps and sweaters to managers of the teams. And she was so pleased with the oratorical spirit shown, that, after a lapse of a few weeks, she got to work and settled it again, a different way. And then she settled it again. And even yet, not all the counties have been heard from, for of the class contemplates bringing the graduation visitors, and has a series of bring forth that will be startling, to exactly what the managers ought to we understand that a certain member matter up again as a diversion for the parliamentary grounds and reasons to say the least. So no one knows, now, do about sweaters, but the Class Book advises those as have 'em, to keep lem, and those as haven't 'em to get 'em, and hang on to 'em. We only regret that we have not had a shot at the Co-op. yet, It must be evident to any intelligent observer that ,97 has had superior facilities for handling questions of import, and we have been prepared to render thoroughly parliamentary verdicts on anything that may be brought up. 57 THE '97 CLASS BOOK '97 has had particularly good luck with her managers. The foot-ball team made money, with which the manager did not see fit to get fired, as has been more or less time honored custom, and the base-ball enterprise shown has really been first rate. It is partly the trustees whom we must thank for the new diamond, but not entirely, and if the stray teams can be kept from crossing the campus surreptitiously, which is another good old custom, we will leave another good legacy to '98. And the score board saves a great deal of mental effort on the part of the spectators, when we are piling in our runs in quick succession. The track team, at the time of writing, has 11Ot done enough to be com- mented on, but we repose the utmost confidence in its ability to repeat the success of the foot-ball team by soundly thrashing our good coz., Exeter, particularly as it is the first team for some time to have a trainer. And last, but by no means least, of the blessings which '97 has conferred upon the school is the Class Book. Even the much-vaunted '96 could not devise anything at once as practical and entertaining as this, and we commend it in parting to the tender care of '98. And so the year has passed, and as we review it as a whole, it must surely seem to have been a most successful one. We have not had any wild excite- ments, such as any faculty marriages, or a cut from Mr. Benner, but there have been a good many little things going on all the time, and the year has certainly been a pleasant one. And some of us, perhaps as many as three, have studied more than we should have, while others, a hundred and seven or so, have studied rather less than we ought to have. But the fellow must be imperfectly developed who can not look back on this, his Senior year here, with pleasure, in after days, and when we come back as old grads. and see our window behind the principal's desk, which will represent, as we understand it, a fellow in some typical attitude, such as composing a petition, or boarding a trolley car for Lawrence, we will think how the school has deteriorated since those days, and what a rattling good class '97 was.

' z. , 4' ' v questions on the statistical blanks, Andover is far from one- sided in its advantages.

The struggles for recommendations for Yale and Harvard cause a large majority of the fellows to vote Middle year the hardest. Senior year is naturally voted the easiest, but as a large number of the class have only been here two years, it is difficult to tell how the vote might have stood otherwise. The vote for hardest study is very scattered, but Greek iinally captured the honor with twenty-three votes, Geometry is a close second with nineteen. For easiest study, English takes the Bunnf, Our votes on the respective merits of the members of dear faculty result as follows : For best teacher Benner receives twenty-nine, with the others in the follow- ing order : McCurdy, Pettee and Graves. Professor McCurdy still holds his well-earned prestige of being the easiest man of the faculty to recite to. The votes arrange them as follows : McCurdy, twenty-seven, Phillips, eleven g McClenahan and Allen. We found Professor Terrill the hardest, but Freeman and Boynton are not cinches H by any means, if we may believe the vote. The bluff does not work with Freeman a little bit, as twenty-seven fellows have found out to their sorrow. It has also been hard to work the little game with Pettee and Eaton. McCurdy, however, is very easy fruit in this respect, as thirty-two men attest. McClenahan and Terrill are also considered pretty easy. 4 The prof. in whose presence we are wont to quake is Freeman, by an almost unanimous vote. In fact as a rattler he is without a rival. For polish our genial Charlie is a winner, in the estimation of forty-seven fellows. Freeman is next with eighteen votes, but there is practically no third. Mr. Freeman is also regarded the most sarcastic prof., and receives sixty votes. Stone is next in order with three votes. Terrill and Eaton are about equal in respect to narrow-mindedness, and each receive fifteen votes. 60 . --...-.i,,,f EDUCATIONAL VVhen it comes to handsomeness, Charlie Forbes again gets an A plus by receiving fifty-eight votes. His closest rival is Freeman, with twelve votes, which gives him a mark of C. V The vote for kindest prof. is a tie between Mr. Phillips and Professor McCurdy. Mr. Benner and Mr. Forbes are also considered kindly disposed to their fellow mortals. Mr. Freeman receives thirty-seven votes for being broad minded, and Mr. Forbes seventeen. ' About the only prof. apparently addicted to grouchiness is Mr. Terrill, as he receives nearly every vote for that proud distinction. In direct contrast to the above Mr. Forbes receives practically all the votes for pleasantness. Mr. Phillips also receives eleven. Our most popular prof. is Mr. McCurdy, with thirty votes, but Mr. Forbes is a close second, with twenty-five. Mr. Phillips is third, with eighteen. Mr. Forbes is our brightest prof. with thirty-one votes. Pap Eaton is voted most eccentric, with twenty-four votes, and Goat 'l Terrill comes second with sixteen. V To the question, Have you studied as much as you ought? seventy- one say no H g twenty-six say yes 5 but, alas, only four think they have studied more than they ought. Several say they will tell us better in June. The use of trots H has helped eighty-eight along the narrow way which leads to college, but ten say that they have not used them. The remainder, in a guilty sort of way, refuse to answer the question. Most of those who admit the habit say that they only resort to this method to secure a final polish. On the subject of cribbing, the vote is very emphatically to the effect that it is not justifiable unless under extraordinary circumstances. It is the opinion of a few that it is justifiable 'K when on the ragged edge. Others say : Don't monkey with the buzz saw 5 Easy method of attaining the other- Wise unattainable g Justihable if you are watched like a criminalf' As the prizes for scholarship are not awarded until commencement day, it is, of course, impossible to tell who the favored ones are to be, but if We may judge from the high standard which Ninety-seven have ever maintained while in school, it is quite likely that the list of honor men will be greater than ever before. 61 literary. MUST be admitted that the man who undertakes to write about the literary life at Andover is in somewhat the predicament of the fi ETX' , . . . . BQ man who writes an essay about the tails of rabbits, for instance- g?il5Xf' gf he has a small subject. And yet, as the new man thoughtfully ' i J' - 4 reads the Blue Book, for which he has recently paid fifty cents, he realizes that Andover publications are expensive and unavoidable, and then, during the next week of his sojourn here, he learns that they are numerous. Who is it that we must thank for the papers which appear so persistently? Is it a few perennial sharks who leave a trail of tire where they have galloped through the Mirror and the Phillipian, the chief effect of which is to show how badly other people write ? We think not. Is it a universal spirit of enthus- iasm and eagerness to stuff the boxes i11 the lower hall ? We have never noticed it, if so. Let us be frank, and, once for all, pay our obligations to the ubiquitous, much cursed, and always-showingup-when-you-don't-want-him subscription man. It is he who leaves you in 110 doubt as to the value of the Mirror, and shows you just why you wa11t eight Pot Pourris, so, on the principle of giving the devil his due, let us thank him for keeping the literary side of the school in running order. '97 has always been especially blessed with these birds of prey. It is not every class that has a Symonds ! The vainglorious '96 was so occupied in talking about herself that she did not have time to look after all her work, and left the Phillipian an easy mark for '97 who took possession in the fall of ,Q5, with Carberry as her deputy. Carberry held sway until the following winter, but had too much respect for the weather to reign in the snowy season, and eventually left for a land where there are fewer hres. This left a vacancy, which was ably filled by Fulton, who, with Carberry and Young, was one of ,Q7,S first representatives in the literary field. And Fult has added another item to his long list of distin- guishments by being one of the few fellows who have managed to run the Phillipian and stay in school too. The next publication that occurred in the '97 epoch was the aforementioned Blue Book. This is really a collection of short stories which have appeared in 62 LITERARY print before, but the new binding is attractive, and the faculty are greatly to be connnended for their effort. Some of the historical romances, under the head of K' Absences, Excuses, etc, are really very amusing. lt contains nothing so naively witty as the familiar term report statement that A large majority of the students receive few or no demerit marks, but on the whole is very good. In the spring term last year, Thomas, Clark and Mills were added to the limited monarchy of the Phillipian, and since then, Woolseyf, Day, Hotchkiss, Freund and Locke, or Locle as the Phillipian prints it, have also been fortunate, so how could the 'A Phillipian have been else than a success with Richardson at the sheet, to regulate the wind g Fulton at the tiller, and such a remarkably competent crew to do the heavy looking on, and set an example to aspirants, of the peace attendant upon the latter days of successful men. So much for the Phillipian. While the Mirror board was printing scathing editorials about the dearth of '97 material, the good class was merely picking out its bats, so to speak, and getting ready to bunch its hits in the ninth inning. ,Q7 is rather remarkable for the fact that it always makes a principle of doing things all at once, instead of by inches. Some classes that we wot of will put a prep. on the Means, or even on the dignified 'A Phillipian board, and thus worm their way into public notice in a disagreeably insinuating manner. It would never do in a tragedy, for example, to have the villain who is to do the heavy killing appear five minutes before his cue in the back of the stage somewhere, and sit down until he was needed. And yet that is a fault only too prone to classes here, so all honor to ,QT for avoiding it, and placing her men with the proper theatrical effect. On the same principal that nine hits in the last inning are worth more than one hit in each, '97 showed no uneasiness about the Mirror l' until the month before they could obtain control, and then quietly took possession of the board, to the utter exclusion of lower class men. The two most sensational things about the Mirror this year were the posters, and the neck and neck race for the board, between Lehman and Stone, won by the former with an inch to spare. The poster, representing a daring youth with a p H on his sweater, walking home from Pomp's Pond with a damsel, more or less fair, was the first thing of the kind ever attempted in the 53 THE '97 CLASS BOOK school, and took well. In the background, were four companionable trees, and the pond, containing four skaters, one of whom was starting scratch, in a beautiful contest to see who could Hrst reach the golden sun before it immersed itself in the lake, under the impression, perhaps, that it was a pie. Overhead was a sky, very attractive, owing to its Swift-knickerbocker pattern. The Mirror 'l was indebted for this to Mr. Lawrence, another ,Q7 man with well deserved celebrity. Another point which has given it a slight bump this year, is the fact that it has appeared when it was due. Last year, you could never tell whether you were getting the February number three weeks late, or the March number a week early, but the methodical spirit which pervades l97 has had its influence here, too. On the whole, under the supervision of Messrs. Morris, Townsend, Edwards, and Lehman, with Joseph Haskell Allen Symonds as business manager, the 'K Mirror 'l has gotten along fairly well. We regret to state that the Pot-Pourri has 11Ot been so exclusively loyal to the Seniors as certain other papers, but she at least has ,Q7 men in control g Lawrence being the chairman, and Ficke, the-man-with-a-hat, the business manager. And we feel sure that the management is just the sort th'at will get out a good book, though we cannot further comment on it, as it had not appeared at the time of writing. And last and youngest of the publications, we must enumerate tl1e Class Book before you 5 another piece of enterprise which ,Q7 can claim all to herself. From present appearances, it will be more picturary than literary, and it is con- ducted by a committee instead of a board, yet we think it belongs in this account. Mills, Lauder and Lawrence were the original three to whom this was intrusted, and then Morris was taken on later, as a sort of a man of all work, and a convenient person to curse when things went wrong. And now the story of the publications must end, for the Townsman is the only one left, and that is not literary. Perhaps H Philo and Forum deserve comment next, for they really are of great value in making men fertile in excuses, and have been strongholds of ,97 all this year. Richardson, Jameson and Edwards have been the respective presidents of Philo 'I this year, while Forum has been twice intrusted to 64 S,L6, 'SBIOILVDVIYIHJ 'IOOIIDS NO Si5IAI,LV.LNl7ISEl2Id?III M N H.-1 if I?fi..'

The most exciting thing that happened to Philo and Forum this year was the membership race, just before the L' Pot-Pourri H went to press. Forum found herself in the desperate predicament of being about fourteen names short of her rival, so she organized a press gang to scour the streets, and, at the last minute, caught something like twenty or thirty nnfortunates for enrollment. The last Held for '97's exertions has been the Means and the Draper, where We are represented, in the Means, by Day, Fiske, Freund, Kimball, Lehman, Morris, and Townsend, and in the Draper by Branch, Freund, Locke, and Symonds g a respective showing which proves ,97 to be more literary than windy. RAY MoRRIs. Arr-A-Six O E, 1,---'---:3:,aL:3:f , 65 Eltbletics gg-45 of that old adage that small beginnings bring about great ends, i 3 , and that quality is superior to quantity, for although, owing to the LJ f f ctt' J HE Athletic history of Ninety-seven is only another exemphiication my .' i N K L 4 A smallness of our class-the smallest in point of numbers in several years-she has not been able to furnish as many athletes to the several school teams as some other classes, what she has furnished has been of such excellence as to make up for lack of numbers. This trait of the class was first displayed in its Prep. year when its only repre- sentative 'on the foot-ball team, john C. Pierson, won the cup offered for the best playing against Exeter. This game with Exeter was that unfortunate one of which we have heard so much during the present year. Then it was that owing to various grievances, which it is needless to enumerate here, the long established athletic alliance with Exeter was broken off, and for three years these old time rivals were to meet no more until Ninety-seven had assumed the reins of government and restored harmony again, but of that, later. About the same time, W. Gordon Parker distinguished both himself and the class by winning the tennis championship of the school in the Fall Tourna- ment. A little later he defeated Exeter's representative in the singles, 6-1, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, and likewise won the doubles, assisted by Prentiss, '94. Ninety-seven failed to furnish any material for the base-ball nine that year, but she then showed a budding promise of excellence in track athletics, which has continued to be a feature of the athletic history of the class. Pierson again, and Jesse Barker, were her representatives on this latter team. The next fall Pierson again played his old position at center on the foot- ball eleven, and G. P. Elliot was a sub, but this time the game was against Lawrenceville, with whom a treaty was negotiated after the fall out with Exeter, and who ever since have been most courteous and honorable rivals, besides being opponents well worthy of our inettle. The only obstacle in the way of a permanent alliance with Lawrenceville is the great distance between our two schools, and the expense attendant upon such a journey, but these 66 ATHLETICS difficulties have proved so objectionable that Lawrenceville has never quite filled the place of Exeter, for with the latter it is possible for the whole school to attend the games, while with the former only a n1ere handful can be present when the contests are away from the home grounds. But all this has been carefully reviewed in the 4' Phillipianf' and any reader desiring further light on the subject should consult the musty pages of that conservative sheet. On November oth, of this Cour junior Middlej year, Ninety-seven origin- ated one of the most important customs of the school, viz. 1 The establishment of inter-class base-ball games. Before this time there had been annual cane rushes between the Middle and Junior Middle classes, wherein the Seniors took sides with the Junior Middler's, and the Preps. with the Middlers, and these rushes generally resulted more or less disastrously for all parties concerned. But when Ninety-seven came to decide the momentous question as to whether they should continue this old established custom or not, she said, No, let us depart from this brutal and disgraceful slugging match, and establish a quiet and dignified game of base-ball. This, accordingly, was done, but the result was hardly what the originators had anticipated, for it was-but why should we dwell upon this subject which everyone knows? Enough is it to say that it took N inety-seven to originate a game of base-ball of which it took an hour and three-quarters to play a single inning. There have been some slanderers who have accused Ninety-seven of cowardice in this change, but if any such remain, we would advise them to witness one of these gentlemanly 'l games and be convinced of their folly. The second eleven was captained this year by W. J. Butterfield, who played half-back, and F. W. Manning played at quarter. In the spring our only representative on the base-ball nine was Elliot, who was then in Ninety-seven, and for the first time played third base in his usual stellar form, with F. P. Holman and V. B. Mintun as subs. Our class nine meanwhile was doing good work under Captain J. Wentworth, and was composed of Manning, Mullings, Wlhite, McFarlane, Cropley, Wentz, Kinna, Pingree, Wentworth, Mintun, Wakefield and Burns. For a while everything seemed to be coming our way and it certainly looked as if we had a winning team, but, alas, the fates proved unpropitious and we 67 THE '97 CLASS BOOK were beaten by Ninety-six a by score of thirteen to ten,'after a well played and exciting game, On the track team this year were first seen A. H. Richardson, A. H. Man- ning and S. C. Forsaith. The beginning of Middle year may really be said to mark the beginning of Ninety-seven's greatness in athletics, for in that year she started in with a rush, and, although, owing to the poor management of our predecessors in Ninety- six, all of our good material was so handicapped that we did not succeed in winning a single championship game, everyone who saw the work of the team last year must admit that they were the best the school had seen for a long time. On the foot-ball team were Butterfield, half-back 3 Barker, full-back g Wentworth, quarter g Quinby, quarter Cwho at that time was in Ninety-seven, but has since forsaken us for Ninety-eightl and Holman, sub. It was largely owing to the magnificent playing of these men that the team made the splendid showing it did. To be sure the Lawrenceville game was lost by the score of 12-1 o, but it was only by one little missed goal and perhaps if-but we will not make any excuses, for We couldn't help it. Our representatives on the second eleven were F. L. Quinby, captain and quarter 5 F. H. Swift, tackle, L. P. Funk, quarter, H. S. Wallace, half-back, and G. L. White, full-back, most of whom have since made the first eleven. During the remainder of the fall there was no further activity in any branch of athletics, as the Fall Athletic Tournament fell through from lack of entries. When spring canie around, however, base-ball came in for its usual lion's share of interest, and daily the candidates were watched from the time they first began practice in the cage until the end of the season, and from the very first it was conceded on all hands that we had a champion nine. However, they say that the gods first exalt those whom they intend to cast down 3 at least it must have been so in our case, for somehow the trip to Lawrenceville proved disastrous, and we lost again, ro-2 g although we defeated Williston and held the Yale Varsity down to a score of 5 to 3. The Ninety-seven men on the nine were W'entworth, Croker, French and Kinne, and all played the game in a manner to be proud of. Before the Lawrenceville game, however, Ninety-seven had met her 68 ,,1 ' I if ' .-1 W b. h . , E ,Q Y .uf -Q- u 1 ,M 's. 11 'jury L ' 'f ' 2 .J- ,LI 1, , ,,g21'L',3t:- .- 'qi' ' g,,H1'f?4:. . ,H,.1, v' y 5: ' n w 55 v L mv Q vu, , 'J 5 fl: 11, '15 , ga .11 N W, 2, M' ri H 'Q-fd -g 'f', f A51 ,J L--1: , -K 1 ,L - A '25 .4 -0 ' 4 x 2 n 4 .

ATHLETICS 'Waterloo for the second time, this time succumbing to Ninety-eight, assisted by N inety-six in not the least important feature of the game, viz. : the noise and confusion. But it was not until our third and first basemen and pitcher had been literally maimed, and many pounds of gun powder had been consumed that we finally bit the dust. The game really began the night before, when there was brave but ineffectual attempt to purloin the N inety-seven suits out of Chap's. This encounter ended in a foot race, in which B-n-ty was a dead easy winner, thereby re-establishing his record as a sprinter. The next day we were overcome by sheer weight of numbers, and, although many of our men performed deeds of heroic valor, the victory finally went to Ninety-eight by the score of I9-11. It seems to be the peculiar way of fate, that after some poor mortal, or in this case class, has devised some great scheme, for some one else to step in and derive the benefit thereof. Our team consisted of Holman, captain, Stickney, Gilpatrick, Hewitt, White, Holladay, Pingree, Wallace and Hollenbeck. The track team this year was equally unsuccessful in its championship games, being defeated by Worcester 66-46. Nevertheless the team was a very fine one and did as well as might be expected, considering that our opponents devote all their energies to track athletics to the exclusion of base-ball. Ninety- seven Was represented on the team by quite a galaxy of stars, consisting of Richardson, Cady, Peter, Manning, Long, Haskell and Stone, who not only won first place in his event, the bicycle race, but also succeeded in breaking the school record. With this closes our record up to Senior year, when we assumed active control of the school athletics. The first thing that monopolized our attention, on our return to school, at the beginning of Senior year, was the question of the resumption of athletic contests with Exeter. It had remained for the class of Ninety-seven to make itself famous by at last settling this old feud, which had lasted only too long, and in so doing to make the bonds between the two old schools firmer and stronger than ever before. The matter was entrusted to an advisory com- mittee, consisting of Townsend, T homas, Mills, Swift and Richardson, assisted by Mr. Freeman, of the faculty, and Mr. Ripley, the graduate treasurer of the 69 THE '97 CLASS BOOK Athletic Association, and they, after long and skillful diplomatic negotiations, finally brought the matter to a successful close, and in a manner which reflected nothing but credit upon Andover. Never again will the old chapel resound with such applause as when, one morning, it was finally announced that ath- letic contests would be resumed with Exeter for the space of one year, and as long afterward as the schools saw it to continue the alliance. We all know how the foot-ball game resulted 5 how, after being one week beaten 44 to 4 by the Yale Freshmen, and our hopes were at their lowest ebb, the next week our team gloriously defeated Exeter by a score almost unprece- dented in the history of the games between the two schools. The Ninety-seven men who were 011 the team, and who largely contributed to its success, were D. Wlieeler, end, Swift, tackle, VVhite, half-back, Holladay, tackle, Funk and Gould, subs. Three other old Ninety-seven men, who had forsaken us for other classes, also played in the game 5 these were Quinby, quarter and captain 5 Elliot, half-back, and Pierson, centre. The fall Athletic Tournament, unlike that of our respected predecessors, did not fail for lack of entries, but was an unqualified success. The meet was made a class affair, and a handsome cup was offered by the school for the class winning the greatest number of points. Ninety-seven, in a measure, retrieved her two defeats in base-ball by winning almost every event in the tournament. The score was, Ninety-seven, 74 5 Ninety-eight, 16, and Ninety-nine, 6. Immediately after Christmas the candidates for the base-ball nine began prac- tice in the old gym., which, after the fire, had been hastily converted into a base-ball cage. Up to the time of writing, the team has been doing very good work, and there seems to be every chance of adding a base-ball victory over Exeter to that won by the foot-ball eleven. just the other day the nine suc- ceeded in wiping out the three years' defeats of past teams by handsomely thrashing the Yale Freshmen in a very interesting game. Among the candi- dates now are the following Ninety-seven men: Capt. French, Gilpatrick, Stickney, Pingree and Boyce. The track team, under Captain Richardson, is also doing fine work, and it looks very much, from the showing made by the men, that Ninety-seven is to be the first class whose track team will win from VVorcester, besides making it 70 ATHLETICS the third victory of the year over Exeter, but perhaps this is counting our chickens too soon. However, straws show which way the wind is blowing, and we can only point to Richardson, Haskell, Long, Wright, Stone, Schweppe, Peter, Carson, R. S. Edwards, B. L. VVells and Keppelman, to show what we base our calculations upon. One of the things that Ninety-seven has accomplished during her admin- tration, has been the abolishment of the old custom of allowing the street teams to give out lettered sweaters promiscuously to their players, thereby detracting severely from the school teams, and also from the value of the Andover Af, 'We cannot close our account of the athletics of Ninety-seven without making mention of the great fight over the question of giving the managers of the Athletic Association A sweaters. Although it resulted in a victory for the manager, it was only after a stiff up-hill fight, and we can almost imagine that the much debated question may arise again some day, and give us another hour's cut. t Perhaps there are some who will say that Ninety-seven failed in athletics, because of her two defeats as a class, and also of the long string of defeats which the school has suffered while we were in school, but if there are any such, we would like to say that, while it may have taken a long time for us to get started, when we did, we proved to be no slouches, as our victory over Exeter and the superiority of our other teams in our Senior year will attest, and even if everything else were set aside, we at least succeeded in restoring the Exeter games, and that will more than fill the balance in our favor. J I QE ivi' X733 , ' .tix-Tflli T, Org ',v ,eO 71 1ReIigious. sf . F 7 JQEW-1, 1 HE Religious life of '97 is supposed to find its expression in Inquiry, ,ui V although a meeting of that society would prove a disappointment l' AJ, l if we were to believe there was no religious life in the class except 3 4 that which is manifested there. True, the society does its best to if . . . 5 represent the religious hfe of the school, a11d to make a center for Christian activity, but who can say it has been grandly successful in carrying out its object, at least while '97 has been in school. The Senior class must stand its share of the blame for this. We can but wonder why this condition of things exists. VVhy has not the Y. M. C. A. here the firm footing and strong influence which it so generally enjoys at the colleges? VVhy do not fellows of influence support Inquiry? These questions are by no means new, nor are they easily answered. Still we may be able to nnd why '97 has failed to fulfill her possibilities religiously. It would seem that the reason lies in this. The men of influence in school who are genuinely earnest are for the most part not behind the society. Not men of influence, simply for influences sake, are needed, but sincere fellows, and there are many such in '97, and will be many in coming classes. There are many such fellows who do 1101 take the time to attend the meetings, nor get into their religious lives interest enough to uphold Inquiry. If they took hold of Christian work, as no doubt many of them will when they get down to Yale or into college somewhere else, there would indeed be a difference. We know the power that the example of a respected fellow bears with it. To be sure if it is insincere, it is worse than useless g if it is earnest, the good effect may be great. And yet we may not say 397 has done nothing for Inquiry. The Sunday and Wednesday evening meetings have been attended this year with fully as good results, both in interest and attendance, as ever since ,Q7 first enjoyed its prephood. - During the fall term, Mr. R. E. Lewis, Secretary of the Student Volunteer movement, gave a most helpful address, and a mission study class was organized 72 REL1G1oU5 under the leadership of Mr. McClenahan. The study has been carried on systematically, and has proved beneficial to all those interested in missions. Mr. R. A. Budington also gave an interesting address. During the winter term it was hoped that a greater interest in the Work of the society might be aroused, and consequently the plan of the Sunday evening meetings was changed from that of having prayer meetings to addresses, by speakers from outside. Among those who have spoken from the faculty are, Mr. Pettee, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Eaton, Mr. Stone, Mr. McClenahan and Dr. Bancroft. Prof. Harris, Mr. Mattson, Mr. French, and Mr. Bliss, of the Seminary, have helped greatly. Under the new plan the meetings seem to have become more satisfactory, and certainly nothing could have been lost with such men for speakers. The class contains thirty-one church members. Of these eleven are Episcopalians, nine Congregationalists, seven Presbyterians, one Methodist, one Baptist, one Christian Scientist, and one member of the German Reformed Church. Those not on church books favor the different denominations in the following order: Congregational, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist, Unitarian, and Jewish. As for the Andover churches, most of the class prefer the Chapel, because it is nearest home, and U because it has the shortest service, but some un- godly youths say that they have no choice in the matter, but merely go because the faculty make them. All the fussers H also prefer the Chapel on Sunday afternoon, but the Old Southm in the morning. Others again, like the Episcopal service, because of better service,'l because Ryder and Smyth never preach theref' 'fbecause Dr. Bunn Marks, and the remainder merely because they are Episcopalians. Many like the shortest winded as their favorite Chapel preacher, but a large majority choose Prof. Harris. Others like Prof. Churchill and Prof. Hincks. A majority of the fellows think compulsory church a good thing, but also think it should be abolished Sunday afternoon as too much of a good thing, and the reasons given are that it tends to destroy their appreciation and 73 THE '97 CLASS BOOK interest in church worship, and makes it an onerous duty rather to be avoided than sought after. In fact it was quite pleasing to note that all but a very few were opposed to the total abolition of compulsory service, and these few were the very ones whom it would benefit most. O11ly about a score out of the class profess to attend Inquiry regularly, and the remainder do not attend principally because it is too monotonousf' and others evidently think the question too foolish to even consider. Ficke does not attend because he does 11ot wish to make false pretensions. Some of the improveinents to its service suggested to arouse greater interest in its work are, invite the Fein-Sems,'l have interesting speakers from colleges and elsewheref' substitute it for afternoon church. Others think it to be im- possible. Although 797 has not accomplished all that she might have accomplished in religious affairs, she at least has not fallen below the standard of former classes, and we leave the work in '98's hands with every hope for the future.

W. Brown showed his good sense by dropping from Ninety-six to Ni11ety-seven, and during that year led the Glee Club. Three other Ninety-seven me11 sang on the club, Holman, Taylor and Colwell, and one, Durston, was on the Banjo Club. At the beginning of our Middle year, Brown again led the Glee Club, but, as he left school during the fall term, the leadership again fell to a N inety-six man. However, Ninety-seven had four other men on that club. These were Anderson, Hollenbeck, Taylor and Gleason, and we were represented on the Banjo Club by Lang, Clark, Lawrence, Fulton, Durston and Thomas. The Mandolin Club also had seven Ninety-seven men among its members: White, McCauley, Spencer, Lang, Durston, Peck and Fulton. During this, our Senior year, we have just simply monopolized the musical clubs as our own especial property, just as we have the other school organiza- tions, and it is this which has largely contributed to the splendid success of the clubs, especially of the banjo and mandolin, which have both had Ninety-seven leaders and manager. On the former were ten Ninety-seven men: Clark, leader, Fulton, manager, McCauley, Parsons, H. P. Thomas, Lang, Law- rence, White, Butler and A. A. Thomas, and on the latter we were represented by White, leader, Fulton, manager, Clark, Cady, Winterbotham, Spencer, McCauley, A. A. Thomas, R. B. Sullivan and Holladay. On the Glee Club were the following members of the class : Peter, Babbitt and Keppelman. During our Senior year the musical clubs first obtained a firm footing in the school by forming an association, the need of which l1as seriously handicapped the organizations for many years. One of the acts of this organization has been to institute the first Commencement Concert, which will be held during the last 75 GLBB CLUB. THE '97 CLASS BOOK week of school. This concert will be given for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The Andover Concert, given on March 23d, was never more successful than this year, in spite of the article by the artist OD who writes the musical criticisms for the Townsmanf' The programme rendered by the club was as follows : PART FIRST.

MUSICAL Although the Sunday Chapel Choir was not a pronounced success, yet we must say that we furnished two of its best members, who saved it from being altogether a failure. It will not be out of place to mention here a few of our musical sharks, and their most noteworthy doings. NVho, indeed, will ever forget that touching violin solo of Hubbardls, at the Dramatic Club entertainment, last winter, and who can be found next year who will be able to draw forth such sad, sweet refrains from the Chapel piano as Hewitt and Keppelman? The Fem-Sems will never forget the silvery tones of I. J. Peter, and the strong, sonorous voice of Keppelman, as they sang in the evening by the twi- light H until Qalas, must we repeat it Pj they were put to Hight by a brutal cop, Whose savage breast the music had no charms to soothe. Besides the regular musical clubs' concerts, Ninety-seven has shown her- self perfectly able to furnish impromptu music in a manner well befitting the occasion, as those who were present at the class ball games and the election parade will remember. Truly, these attempts must have made a lasting impres- sion in the minds of the inhabitants of Andover. Throughout our entire course, we have aided greatly in firmly establishing the musical clubs, and raising their standard. Let us hope that future classes may follow our example, and as successfully sustain the musical department of Phillips Academy. EDWIN H. CLARK. 77 llbolitical can have to do with politics but if there are any such we would say in reply that there never xx as a more politic set of young men at I than the class of Ninety-sex en.

A 7 ' FV UQ than a dozen in the class that can vote or have voted, but we have more than made up the deficit in point of number by our enthusiasm and deep convictions. Up to our Senior year the class had had little to do with politics, but when We came back last fall we were all burning with the all-important topic of the day-the Presidential campaign. NVe were all convinced that the country was going to ruin, and that the only way to restore business confidence was by electing a Republican or Democratic or rather Populist president, and then we would have no other care in this world but to sit in Chap's ordering drinks and smoking our pipes in peace. Of course, our opinions in this matter were based largely upon what we had heard our fathers say, but we swapped off all their arguments with the fellow who lived next door as our own peculiar property, and were all the more zealous on that account. livery evening we would assemble at Pat's or Mike's and there air our opinions in a laudable desire to convince our opponents of the evil of their way. In spite of the blood curdling editorials in the 4' Lawrence Telegram, however, we were Republican almost to a man, and after we had held our great torchlight procession, all who had before expressed silver sentiments, carefully kept their sentiments to themselves and from that time on there were no two ways of thinking. Besides, had we not read the Townsmanfl in which 'K if you see it in the ' Townsman ' itls news to be relied upon 3 if it's news and so you'll see it in the ' Townsmanf 'l And did it not say that all who were not Republicans were damned, or words to that effect? Shortly before the election an enthusiastic and intelligent mob, consisting of every man in the school, including the three Bryanites, assembled in the Chapel, and there endorsed the St. Louis platform for all it was worth, and elected Morris president of the Sound Money Club of Phillip's Academy. Then, what was more to the point, we decided to hold a grand torchlight proces- 75 POLITICAL sion which was, if possible, to outshine the night shirt parade of the year before Qfor an account of which we refer readers to the Police Gazette HD. For this purpose an executive committee, consisting of Richardson, Thomas and Wallace, was elected. The next night the three Bryanites made an attempt at a similar demon- stration. but alas it was a dismal failure, for a great number of the Philistines from the opposite camp came over a11d broke up the meeting. Before this sad ending, however, an attempt was made to elect oiiicers, for what was to be called the Bryan and Sewall Free Silver and Sixteen to One Club, but, although the room was packed, only two men could be found willing to accept the honor, as one of the aforementioned three Bryanites proved recreant to his trust and refused to allow his name to be associated with the undertaking. Thus it devolved upon the two men to assume the onerous responsibilities of a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, besides doing duty as an executive committee. An ardent sympathizer from the solid South then attempted to restore order by quoting the Chicago convention as an example of dignity and order, but this proved too much for the intelligence of the audience to stand, and it was then that the aforementioned calamity befell. At last the great night arrived, when the shades of old Theological presi- dents and other Andover worthies of ye olden tymes were to be aroused from their graves by a celebration, the like of which was never seen before by the town upon the hill. Long before the time settled upon, torches were seen to flit about like tire-dies o'er hill and dale, and finally to converge into one long line, which seemed to stretch for miles through the streets of the historic town. After hearing the visiting celebrities and local prominent citizens discourse for hours upon the evils attendant upon a Democratic administration and the cor- responding felicity and prosperity of Republican rule, and other classical refer- ences to the advance agent of prosperity, which would have moved the most arrant hayseed to repentance-we were finally permitted to wend our way homeward. However, you must be indeed ignorant of Andover customs if you do not at once surmise that it was via the Fem Sem grounds. Arriving there the celebration at once assumed its true proportions. Then we made the welkin ring in the usual manner, and it was not until long after ' 79 THE '97 CLASS BOOK midnight that the last flickering torch finally sputtered and went out. But it is useless to expatiate on the festivities, for everyone, in the least acquainted with the school, knows exactly what was done, as it has been done hundreds of times before, but never on such a grand scale. This closes the account of the political history of the class from a national point of view, but if we ended there, half were left untold, for, as we said in opening, Ninety-seven is a very politic class, and has always made Irlflll fight for purity in school politics, as some of our actions will attest. The most important of these has been the adoption of a system of balloting for managers and other officers, by which it is impossible for a fellow to cast more than one vote. Another good idea in this line, which, if not originated by Ninety- seven, was iirst put into operation by her, was the election of the managers from the Junior Middle class to serve as assistant manager during Middle year and manager during Senior year. By this method the men are much more experienced when the responsibility falls upon them, and less likely to cause the Wholesale deficits which have been so common during past years. Already this movement has had its effect, and the finances of the school are in a very prosperous condition. Perhaps it would not be amiss to mention here the foreign policy of the school during Ninety-seven's administration. In place of the old athletic directors an advisory committee, C consisting of the managers of the four athletic associations, a graduate treasurer, and a member of the facultyj has charge of the athletic policy of the school, and has proved a most successful deliberative body, as its diplomatic negotiations with Exeter bear witness. Even with such shrewd politicians as Mills, Thomas, Symonds and Wallace C the latter of whom is reported on a certain occasion to have secured eighty-one votes to his opponent's six out of a possible twenty-threej to contend against, Richardson stands Without a rival as a political success, as he has twice been president of the school, besides being president of Philo, and president of Inquiry, the most corrupt organization in school. Andover life is rapidly expanding and growing broader as the number of fellows increases, but we believe that underneath all lies a deep and true democracy which time can never efface. 80 llbersonal. ,tg HEN we look back upon our life at Andover, it is not so much the L, il it NL thought of what we have done or what has been done that JCI impresses us, but it is rather the thought of the personalities of 5 fggaxpl the fellows with whom we have been thrown in contact. Some if of us are noted for having done this or that, but underneath all the outside superhcialities lies a deeper, subtler power, and it is that which appeals to ones own true self. To be sure it is rather a delicate undertaking to explain what a fine lot of fellows we really are or what our several weaknesses and foibles are, but we sometimes feel with Bobby Burns, Oh wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as ithers see us ! It wad frae monie a blunder free us. Having this in mind then, we give our private opinions of ourselves below. The class is possessed of a very goodly number of handsome men, but of all these Fred Swift is the handsomest and received thirty-five votes, while Gordon, who is second, received twenty-three. Those who were likewise blessed by the gods in this respect are Day, Keppelman, D. VVheeler, and jameson. For homeliest man, by far the largest part of the class absolutely refused to vote at all, and from the fact that those who did vote were very scattered and disunited in their opinions, we presume that there are no really homely men in the class, and we therefore refrain from passing judgment. In striking contrast to the above, however, everyone is perfectly well pre- pared to state who is the greatest dude, and there is almost an unanimous opinion that this distinctive honor belongs to McCauley, as he receives thirty- two votes. Others who will be remembered in this connection are D. Wheeler, Taft, Borden, Swift, and Jillson. There is likewise no dihiculty in deciding the greatest greasy grinds in the class and H. H, Davis is accorded first honor, with twenty-nine votes, Curtis second, with seventeen, M. A. Sullivan third, with fifteen. Those next in order are G. F. French, Findley, Freund and Stickney. He who puts other lights in the shade as far as brightness is concerned is Young, with twenty-four votes, whom Locke follows with twenty. Other lesser lights are Richardson, G. F. French, Woolsey and M. A. Sullivan. 81 THE '97 CLASS BOOK Besides these there are the lights that failedf, or rather those who think themselves to be bright. The search-light of popular opinion shows them to be Locke, twenty-four g Stickney, seventeen, and there are others as follows : Freund, Young, Symonds, Ellis and C. G. Wells. The admiration of forty-eight men is centered upon A. H. Richardson as the most popular man, and then the vote is as follows : E. H. Clark, seventeen g Swift, twelve, and Townsend, six. There is almost the same unanimity of opinion about who thinks he is most popular, as Locke receives twenty-three votes. Following him are Symonds, D. Wheeler, VVhite and Stickney. VV hen it comes to real beauty, however, the apple of discord is awarded without dissent to Mills by twenty-eight votes. Other beautes are VVinter- botham, Day and Rowland. The class doll is, by common accord, ratified by forty-nine votes, Spencer, with J. H. Thomas second, with twenty-one votes. In fact these two monopolixed the votes to such an extent that there were few left for any one else. The race for best athlete was very closely contested, but iinally resulted ill a victory for I. J. French over D. Wheeler by the score of thirty-seven to thirty- four. Next in the race were Peter, Richardson and Cady. The honor of being the wittiest man is awarded to Hollenbeck by fifteen votes. Other rivals of Artemus Ward are Fulton, with nine, and Morris, with eight votes. The best natured man, beyond the shadow of a doubt, is Cady, who received eighteen votes. According to the ballot we must be a very ill- tempered lot, for only a very few others received even as many as three votes. These few, however are Townsend, Dudley and Wallace. Still we might as well be optimistic and say that we all have such sunny dispositions that it was impossible to tell 'who excels in that line. There only appears to be one really religious man in the class, and he is R. H. Edwards, and receives forty-nine votes. Richardson receives eleven. VVebb and Gardner are the others who receive more than three votes. Uur man 'L of many turns is Richardson, with thirty-four votes, as most 52 PERSONAL versatile in the class. Keppelman is second, with six, and Townsend third, with five. The greatest winner is D. 'Wheeler in the estimation of twenty men, but alas this proud record is somewhat eclipsed by the fact that he is also the greatest thinks he is with twelve votes. Hotchkiss is also successful as a Winner, with thirteen to his credit. The race for windiest man was very uninteresting indeed, for although there were many entries, Ellis had it easy. His meter registered twenty-nine. Symonds registered thirteen and C. G. Wells six. The hardest man to rattle l' is Wallace, with fourteen votes. Richardson next, with twelve. XVhence it is easy to see that there was a diversity of opinion as to what constituted it. In the vote for laziest man, L. F. Clark, with his accustomed speed, chases easily into first place with twenty-two votes. It was a hot race, however, as Gordon is a close second, with twenty. Other speeds are Borden, Stone and Lauder. The biggest fusser is D. NVheeler, who receives twenty-'live votes. Other votaries of Venus are Vifinterbotham, fourteen, and A. A. Thomas, eight. In distinction to the class dude, Swift is tl1e best dressed in the opinion of thirty-three fellows. D. Wheeler, E. H. Clark, White and Taft are also included in this list. The biggest bluffer goes to Kid H Wallace, who gets twenty-eight votes. The only other fellow who appears to be good at this game is Peter, With sixteen votes. Richardson, in almost the unanimous opinion of the class, is the most likely to succeed, and receives sixty-nine Votes. The closest rival in the suc- ceeding line is Townsend, with three votes. Richardson again is, by all odds, the most prominent man in our class, and for this honor he also gets sixty-nine votes. In this case his nearest opponent is A. A. Thomas, who gets live votes. Townsend and E. H. Clark receive three each. The meekest man, according to twenty men, is I. H. Thomas. Next in order are Hosmer, H. M. Brown, Curtis and R. B. Sullivan. S3 THE '97 CLASS BOOK The race for vainest man was very close, but finally resulted in a victory for Winterbotham by three votes over Boyce, who received thirteen. Our greatest jollier is Kid VVallace, with twenty votes to his credit. Peter is somewhat of a jollier himself, and for this he gets nineteen. There are others, however, in the persons of Gabriel, Vtfhaling and Symonds. The most scientific cribber is, in the opinion of twenty-nine fellows, L. F. Clark. We are all more or less modest, and feel some reticence in exploiting our virtues, but truth is mighty, and must prevail, so we feel compelled to say that Townsend is more modest than the rest of us, as nineteen votes attest. Others afflicted in this way are Fulton, Richardson, Cady and Sayles. In striking contrast to the above is D. Wheeler, our sport, but he is 11Of the only shirt in the laundry, as he is hard pressed by Jillson, Newton, Gordon and Swift for the honor. He who is voted to have slightly too good an opinion of himself, is White, with twenty-seven votes. He is not the only one, however, as Symonds, Stickney and Winterbotham are well in the race. Certain marks of eccentricity are found in the following men, with various degrees of intensity: Holmes, L. F. Clark, Ellis, C. G. Wells and Findley. More than half the class received one or more votes for the man with the most unadulterated nerve. The following received ten votes or more : jillson, Newton, Wallace and Ellis. The grouchiest man is White, with fifteen votes. Others, who have not succeeded in shaking their grouches yet are, Young, Newton, R. B. Sullivan and Stone. Finally, at the end of the list, comes Belding, by a large majority the most footless man in the class. Most of the class, from modesty, as they claim, refuse to remark on their personal appearances, but some have advanced the following opinions : Thin, mostly legs U CCurtisj. A giddy blonde QLockeD. Would be good look- ing if it were not for my face? Darn good looking boy U CWallaceD. We are much more ready and willing to explain our weaknesses, however, which are procrastination, extravagance, smoking, laziness, lack of determina- 34 97 CLASS BASE-BALL NINE, 1895 91 CLASS BASE-BALL NINE, 1896 ,QIH3 -,L y 4.1, , ,- .

Truly, great minds run in the same channel, for, with the exception of one or two straggling radicals, every man in the class gives either one or the other of the two answers given above. There are several caitiff traitors in the class, who accuse us of being foot- less, sandless and lacking in class Spirit, but as these are just the sort of fellows who would be responsible for such a state of affairs if it did exist, their opinion is not worth consideration. In the opinion of most of us, however, Ninety- seven is a great class, and one which will do more for Andover in the future, as she has done more for Andover while here, than any other class ever graduated from the school.

One of them is that '97 was the tirst class to pf P L. 1,1 , A - iafff. rf- -'if T'1,2't?fN Qt- , -47 l 1 , '.-,1.1'- Lg..rL. ,.u:,f' 1: I..., if f t, 4 , , l . do away with the cane rush, and substitute a more orderly base-ball game between the Middle classes, an advance toward civilization that is still regretted by a few, as our returns show, but approved by most. The other thing which is undisputed ,Q7 enterprise is the distinction of being the first class to occupy the cottages and demonstrate that it is not wholly impossible for those occupying school dormitories to take a bath some- times. The general opinions in regard to the class vary greatly. Five fellows, Gordon, G. E. Holmes, Shoemaker, Stone and J. H. Thomas think it Very good. Five more, Branch, Butler, House, Lawrence and Wallace, think it is All right. The next greatest number of one opinion, Cowdrey, W. A. Moore, Newton and Wadsworth, call it O. K.,H but after this the returns vary more, and we Ollly iind two more couples, one of which, consisting of Rowland and Stickney, think '97 is 't Hot stuff, while the other couple, Sudlow and B. L. YVells, think there is no class spirit. Other good opinions of the class, varying from 't Best ever graduated to Average class,l' are given by eleven men, while ten more do not like it, and one gives a verdict which may be interpreted either way-Cady, who says he 'K Can't express it. Hotchkiss says it is Magnificent, compared to l98, which seems to us to be damning with faint praise. Another question, which brings out some original thought, is the Pleas- antest event in your school life. There was a very close race between those who voted for vacations and going home, under this heading, and those who voted for the last Exeter game tNov. 14th, '96j. The former finally won, by a score of sixteen votes to twelve. The next most popular event was a cut from Mr. Stone, enjoyed by Lawrence and R. B. Sullivan. After this there are no duplicates, and as we run down the list we see Going home for Yale exams.,'l backed by Edwards 9 Passing Latin comp. for Yale, H. M. Brown g S6 POT-POURRI U Golf, Keppelman g 'K Cutting, jameson 5 Senior Receptionf, McCauley g Last day of school, Z. E. French 5 H None, Ficke g Mrs. Booth's lecture, H. H.

Thomas, Cut from 'Dutch' Newton, Peter, When I was married , Hollenbeck : Cut from the ' Goat ', ' Schweppe, etc. XVhat is the most unpleasant event in the school life? Borden, Cowdrey, Curtis, Gabriel, Gordon, Hollenbeck, House, McNeil, Rowland, Taft, Wallace, Whaling and J. E. Wheeler think it is coming back to Andover after vacation. Morris, Schweppe, Twining and NVoolsey find the least enjoyment in reciting to Mr. Terrill. The next most popular unpopular events are summons to the registrar's oilice, and Hunks 5 the former predicament being backed by C. Wilcox, VValsh and C. G. W'ells, and the latter by R. H. Edwards, W. A. Moore and F. M. Wheeler. Various forms of examinations seem worse to even more fellows, but they specify the cause of their complaint so specifically that it is hard to generalize. However, the broad subject of examinations is unpopular with Dutton, Lehman, Schenck, Sudlow, F. F.. WVhitney and Wadsworth. Babbitt and Z. F.. French had an unpleasant time the day they were suspended, while Day and Long find studying tedious. After this, no two fellows agree, and a partial list of unhappiness includes Study hours, Stone 3 O marks, R. F. Smith, First Sunday in Andoverf' A. H. Richardson, Bell for recitations, Parsons, Walking to Salem street, Spencer, End of this year,', E. H. Clark, Listening to a chapel speaker, Lawrence, When managers come around,'l A. A. Thomas fwho must have a guilty conscience most of the tinieil 3 '97-'98 game, Townsend, etc. Next to themselves, Hollenbeck, Wadsworth, YVilcox and VVoolsey, would prefer to be President McKinley, and head the list owing to their unanimity. The next most popular personages are the proprietor of the bookstore, and Dr. Bancroft, who run a dead heat for second place, with three votes each. Boyce and Mills, if forced to make a change, would prefer being dead, and we may also include Holmes, Moore and Shoemaker in this list, as one of them would be Rip Van VVinkle, another VVashington, and the third, Noah. There are a number of other people who have two votes each as desirable substitutes. 37 THE '97 CLASS BOOK Keppelman and Stone favor Vanderbilt. Z. E. French and Cowdrey are satis- fied as it is, as are also Hotchkiss, Morris, Newton, and Smith, who vote respectively for f'Mydouble, My room-mate, My wife, and My sister. E. H. Clark and R. B. Sullivan would like to be Mr. Pettee, while Young and McNeil would aspire to the lot of Mr. Rockefeller. Then the votes scatter. Fire-eater Curtis names Bill Dalton, the Terror of the Western Plains, as his personal substitute. Jameson would prefer to be fired. McCauley's ideal is Senator Quay, while Pingree singles out President Eliot- truly a variance of opinion. Richardson would like to be the richest man in school, with brains. All right, Rich., but who is he? The old homily that two of a trade can never agreef' seems to be exploded, for Lawrence chooses C. D. Gibson and Schenck, Edison, as their would-be's. Gordon likes his grandfather next best, and Dutton his boarding-house keeper. B. H. Ellis would metamorphose into Demmie Wheeler, and Twining has undying admira- tion for Jewell. There the list closes, for the other voters ignore even the existence of desirable substitutes, and leave scornful blank spaces. What has '97 done for Andover? Twenty men think she has done noth- ing. Five men think she has done everything. Six men think she has not done much. Four men think she has done lots of things. Babbitt, Freund, Has- kell, Long, J. H. Thomas and Richardson consider the best things done, the substitution of the class game for the cane rush, and the renewal of athletic contests in the fall, and between classes. Curtis, W. E. Davis, Mills and Twining think the reconciliation with Exeter the most important thing accom- plished bythe class. Townsend, C. G. Wells, Wallace and Young think Clarence E. Belding, '97's best gift to the school. Other opinions are, Fur- nished many good athletes, G. E. Holmes, Made herself felt, Wadsworth g Cowdrey admits that yQ7 has helped support the school for four years, and Jameson thinks the class has nlled a vacancy which would otherwise have been left. 4' Elevated the whole tone of the school, Stickney 5 VVon track tournament, R. F. Smith 5 Raised her standard for scholarshipf, Schweppe g VVonders,,' J. E. Vvheelerg Instituted printed ballots, Shoemaker. F ifty-one fellows think that Andoverls greatest need is a new gymnasium. This is by far the greatest unanimity so far. Day, G. French, Freund, Hotch- 88 PO T-POURRI kiss, Mills, Morris, I. H. Thomas, and I. Wheeler think that money is most needful. Long thinks it school spirit. Lawrence thinks it dormitories. Others say, 'A Memorial dining-hallf' Symonds g A' To wake up, VVadsworth 5 Co-op. boarding house, Haskell 5 Another class like '97 gl' Gymnasium and tennis courts, R. F. Smith 3 New building and dormitory, Walsh. The favorite amusement of the class is going to the theatre in Boston, as evinced by the votes of Burns, Cowdrey, Ellis, Hosmer, Hotchkiss, McCauley, Taft and Young. Base-ball is next, with votes from Billings, Boyce, Davis, Day, Holmes and Pingree. Next comes tennis, and then skating, the former backed by Babbitt, Curtis, Gabriel and Richardson, and the latter by Edwards, Findley and Lehman. Athletics are most popular with Haskell, Long and VVadsworth. Hunting, studying, running, loafing, golf and foot-ball, each have two votes. Cady's favorite amusement is hearing Hotchkiss try to sing. Others are, Eating,'l Woolsey, A' Pool and Cards, R. F. Smith g Wheel- ing, Wells, Hearing Woolsey recite in Geometryf' Mills, Trap shoot- ing,', Schenckg 'A Shooting crapsfl Peter, Matching pennies, R. B. Sulli- van, and Sleepingfl Rowland. Opinions about the Fem-sems are just about evenly divided between the rival camps of those who speak good of them, in forms too numerous to mention 1 and those who have been disappointed in them. Their eulogists are Babbitt y Boyce, Branch, Brown, Davison, R. H. Edwards, I. J. French, Z. E. French, Gilpatrick, Gordon, Hollenbeck, House, Long, Lawrence, Pingree, Richardson, Schweppe, Smith, Spencer, Stickney and Twining, twenty-one in all 5 whereas, Borden, Butler, Cady, Cowdrey, Day, Dutton, Gabriel, Hewitt, Hotchkiss, Keppelman, Lehman, Mills, Newton, Rowland, Symonds, Thomas, A. A., Woolsey and Young disapprove of them, in more or less marked epithets. A careful count awards the decision to the affirmative by three votes. ,97 approves of the Fem-sems ! Five fellows think they are kept too closely. Other opinions about them are Buxom, blithe and debonairf' Fulton 5 Charming as an indefi- nite quantityjl Townsend, Queens, and they know it, F. M. VVheelerg Too much said about them, Parsons 3 Pretty good, what you see of them, Long. Carson, with his usual critical and analytical spirit of observation, remarks that they are Fair, but not particularly sweet, which we think a 39 THE A97 CLASS BOOK masterly distinction. Morris and Stone think that asa whole they are rather poor, with a few shining exceptions. Most of the Salem street votes are so enthusiastic that they seem to prove quite conclusively the old saying about the way in which distance lends enchantment. Advice given to succeeding classes is accorded from several standpoints. Sixteen men advise succeeding classes to follow in the footsteps of ,Q7. Two men advise them to forget YQ7. Lawrence, Mills and Vlfadsworth recommend keeping on the right side of the faculty. Dudley Ill, Sudlow flj, Jameson , Gordon Dj, Billings, McNeil, Pingree and Shoemaker advise younger classes to study hard, or words to that effect. Morris and Townsend advise them to subscribe for the Mirror. A A. Thomas and F. M. Wheeler extend a gen- eral caution to beware of the Goat. Gilpatrick says, Beware of the Goat, and don't speak against the Co-op. Other hints are, Don't lend money to Seniors, Dutton 5 4' Be good and you will be happy, but you won't have much fun, Branch, Never plug when there is any reason for not pluggingf, R. H. Edwards 5 and, Beat Exeter and Lawrenceville in everything, Walsh. Perhaps the most surprising figures are those we have obtained in regard to smoking. The final score was quite close, and stands thirty-nine to thirty- Hve, against smoking. Therefore, ,97, as a class, does not smoke. Several are in doubt, and Townsend remarks that he is trying to find out. Another mooted question is whether or not there should be more class dis- tinction. Fifty-six fellows think there should be, as opposed to thirty-six who think not. The reasons are variously stated. Borden, Boyce, Freund, Lawrence, McNeill, Moore, Rowland, Spencer, Taft, Thomas, Whaling, C. G. Wells, Wilcox and Winterbotham think that the Seniors are not enough respected under the present arrangement, and should be entitled to a little more exclusive dignity. Pursuing this same idea, Butler and Schweppe say the K' Preps. are too fresh,', and Mills and Woolsey observe, Preps. are too damn fresh. Branch, Cady, Gilpatrick, Long, Pingree, Smith, Stickney, Stone and J. E. VVheeler think existing conditions are good enough, and Westfall says it is 'I Bad enough for a fellow to be in the lower classes, without being reminded of it all the timef' Lehman thinks there is too much class distinction already. 90 X-F!! POT-POURR1 Peter thinks there should be more, as the school was not intended for a kinder- garten. Olney and Parsons think that more distinction between the classes would make more sport, but Townsend and Young philosophically remark that class feeling cannot advantageously exist where most of the fellows come for one or two years. E. H. Clark and Newton think not, as one has friends in each class. Other opinions are, 'K No, because all men are brothers, H. H. Davis, Yes, because it would bring out athletes, I. J. French, t'Yes, reason obvious, Hewitt, No, it would make less school spirit, G. E. Holmes , Yes, because ,98 is not in our class , K' No, because it would tend to make lower classmen look toward the Seniors for a standard, and this would be bad for the lower classmenf' Burtt, Yes, because class feeling should be a very strong tief' R. H. Edwards and Curtis, No, because Andover is not a college, Adler and Z. E. French, Yes, because it would make it more like a college, Hollenbeck, House, Twining, Walsh and Wells. Your opinion of the study hour rule? 'l brings out various ideas. Bill- ings, Burtt, Clark, Dudley, Ficke, Gilpatrick, Hotchkiss, Hubbard, Jameson, Locke, McCauley, Morris, Parsons, Richardson, Stickney, Symonds, Townsend, T wining, VVebb, Wells, Whaling, Wilcox and Young think it is all right and perfectly proper. Adler, Branch, Dutton, Ellis and Z. E. French think it is footless. Boyce, Brown, Olney and Shoemaker think it should begin at nine instead of at eight, Edwards, Davison, G. F. French, I. I. French and Haskell also state that it is a Good thingfl Curtis thinks it is necessary to keep simple-minded Preps. from falling astray.

Only one question remains on our blanks, the sensational one: 4' Have you ever been arrested P If so, what for P Sixty-three of our members have never felt the grasp of a policeman's hand. Fifteen have fallen from grace, but have shown such originality in selecting their crimes, that only two are duplicated. Billings and Pingree have been arrested for stealing flags and decorations, and Moore and Symonds for asking foolish questions. We are not sure, but we think this may have been intended as a reflection upon us. If so, we are sorry that we should have been so grossly misunderstood. The other acts of violence catalogued are as follows: H A scrap, Wallace, H Firing a revolver on July 3d,,' Smith g 'I Lamp Went out on a wheel, Schenck g In my studies, 'Wilcox g it Stealing sheep UI, J.

A. 4 18 4 II 4 1 .98 PHYSICAL From the foregoing list it will be readily seen that the average age of the class on commencement day, june 24, 1897, will be nineteen years, six months and twenty-six days, our average height to be five feet eight and one-half inches, and our average Weight to be one hundred and forty-six and three- quarter pounds. The father of his class in point of years, is Z. E. French, who will be twenty-live years, seven months and twenty-six days old when he graduates. He is likewise our champion heavy-weight and gracefully tips the scales at two hundred and fifteen pounds. Our tallest sky-scraper is Carson, who looks down upon the rest of us from a height of six feet two and one-half inches. Reaching almost as great a dis- tance into the air, however, is Iillson, with his six feet two of elongation. The table given above is as nearly correct as it has been possible to obtain, but we would not like to vouch for every ite1n as we have had no means by which to verify the answers given in by the fellows themselves. , gg .'fQf:flffQ1f'Q'f:i':x.
