Our class organipfed this year, the nrst important event after the adoption of a constitution was to select class colors, and we tlatter ourselves that a more har- monious effect could not have been produced than that of white, gold and brown. The school reception being held soon after, the class appeared in full force wearing their colors, which was a feature of the evening. The winter coming on sleigh rides were in order, and Miss Frisbie invited the class and some ofthe teach- ers to her home, a short way out of the city. Bobs were obtained and the meeting was one of the pleasantest of the class history. The loads were mistaken for boxes of sardines, the boys like sardines. A short time later, Dickerman invited the class to meet at his home, near New Milford. Sad to relate, that night the repu- tation of the class for gallantry met a fall, the boys piled into the bob, and let the girls shift for themselves. Wfe would suppress these harrowing details but every one knows them, so it would be useless. The future beams out brightly for '93, with the prospect of the laborious part ofiour work being finished this year. S, S, I. P. 23

But as you evidently know little about us, we will tell you from whence we came and whither we go. Last year a hundred and forty strong we were rooted and grounded down in the vale of Freshman bashfulness 5 but in a uyearis time our roots partly over- spread the vale 5 and have commenced to climb the foot hills of Mt. VVisdom. - Once, while exploring the storehouse of knowledge, quaking in every limb, we opened a door and peered into the darkness beyond, only to behold a most hideous grinning Visage. This is but one of our thrilling ex- periences, but by the time we have leaved out as juniors and blossomed out as Daisy Seniors, we expect to crown the summit and explore the Universe beyond. As was stated before, our original number was one hundred forty-three, the largest class that has ever en- tered this school 3 but some found it stony ground and failed to thrive and only sixty-six were hardy enough to withstand the frosts. Our boys are mighty beings: for their Freshman base ball nine put the Seniors oft their trolley, and -.
