Class H istory Some twenty-eight men turned out from 1911 to support the football team which started work with a bang. The rush to Dickinson was attempted by the Freshmen and it was some forty minutes before they were finally allowed to elect their officers. Then the baseball championship had to be celebrated, and the cannon was that night probably as hot as it had ever been. The officers of the class were elected-Carlburg President, xSeggerman Vice-President, Dwight Secretary and Treasurer. The assistant managers were also elected-Carlburg football, Monroe baseball, Rankin track. November 14th we shall always remember. The alter- nate rain and snow only added to our dejected spirits as we suffered another defeat, II to 6, at the hands of the Elis, though Sandy Macgregor and McCrohan did their best. The Senior Council voted no hat followings for the Sopho- more eating clubs and this was to take effect with our class. Little by little the hats disappeared and now we seldom see them. The hockey team now started its career and was supported by Monty Angell and Jim Dwight. The game with Yale ended in a tie, 5 to 5, but we ranked only third in the intercollegiates. ' At about this time, it being just before exams, a little excite- ment was desired. Push Lambert, since defunct, decided to establish a little party in his rooms at the Bank Building, in the shape of a green cloth on a table, and a wheel which spun with a little White ball inside. At first, secrecy was Q - observed and none but intimate friends M ' 6 were allowed admittance, but soon EY ' Y lp' the news spread, and the rooms be- lf f t came the rendezvous for all who had I a bit of cash they could just as well lv p 2- C3 .

C lass H isitory us and the score resulted 5 to 2, but with strong determina-- tion, we merely hoped for the following year. A little research work was done in . April by the gang of workmen laying the JK' B foundation of Sage Dormitory. Here gskmm . v.'. To-ea they came across the bones of dear old Q - Randolph, who had lain quiet for many S years. A strike on the part of the work- 'ayl AAAQA., Q men was feared, but they were soon quieted and the old fellow was interred before the curio fiends got on the job. The Caledonian games were won by 1911, with only two points to spare and, as in the regatta of the preceding year, 1911 ran off with the honors. Cn the track team, ten out of twenty-one were 1911 men, of whom eight were point winners. Exams were passed and we donned our high hats and took up our canes. A pee-rade was provoked, which probably was the largest of its kind ever witnessed. Everyone turned out and the Inn was the stopping place. Junior Year HE first important change we noticed was the disappearance of the Absence Committee. No longer could the chronically sick con- fidently approach some favorite professor with a feeble excuse and feel assured of its acceptance. Dean Elliott now ruled su- preme and alone. We all got together and elected, as the men to guide us for the year, Andy Monroe, Presidentg Red Sparks, Vice-President, and Noel Bassett, Secretary and Treasurer. Ting Culbertson was always good at repartee. Since away back in Freshman year he had been known for his clever little speeches. He always has a few new ones on tap, too, and if opportunity is given he will spring them on you. He and 29

- The Nassau H erald Clancy made a little trip to New York and, either before or after the wedding which they attended, .T . Ting unfortunately fell into a manhole. He soon, however, regained his com.- posure, and when asked by the work- men what he was doing' clown there, quietly rolled a cigarette as he sat on a gas pipe, answered, Looking for gold and glow worms. That is great stuff. In football, six victories, a tie, and two defeats was the record. Hockey soon came along and that turned out to be a championship team. The side shows , wrestling, swimming and the gym. team, all stood second. Quite a little amusement was afforded by several Freshmen in one of the houses on University Place. They seemed to think the proper place for the landlady was to lock her up in a room while they amused themselves with, tearing down banisters and hurling trunks down the stairs. Dean Elliott happened to be wandering around one night and made some investigations. Several men left college as a result. About this time a new character, well known to all, was in- troduced into Princeton, Boots de la Nass. Always be- decked in a high hat, or rather, near X31 'l x ff -1 , . f f 1 Ex- Jabra st ' W high hat, with goggles, and a husky ,Ono- voice, he entertained the students, and always was the one who led the Pee- rade lock-step through our Palatial Inn. ,, His voice has since gone on the decline 665 7 but he is still on the job and collects money now more out of pity than through amusement. Right after Nicholmas a rather odd thing happened. Eddie Prince, Scotti bf Fillebrown and Walter Idema all got a hunch that a sleigh ride would be a mmwlllb fair way to spend the Sunday. From the gym the trip started in a good sturdy sea-going sleigh. M Q kiwi- 3?'3 , , ............ 1--y I 32Ei.1iT2i2ff-nfs'iiv3fE's': 'jigs ' V, E????f:3is:5::1:'i1:1113' .
