THE MASSASOIT 1921 History of the Class of 1921 XYe had all taken that tortuous and winding ride on the famous King street line and passed inspection before the various faculty members. On looking around we beheld forty-eight of ourselves, all attempting to act natural in un- natural circumstances, but, alas, too green to hide the color of the new-born class of 1921. Friendly greetings by the old men put us at ease until that since well-known command came, issued early each fall to the Freshmen, Build ye paddles of con- venient sizef' This we did and after that memorable occasion, when in the dark- ness we were urged on by our well-made paddles along the shores and in the cool waters of our now appreciated Massasoit Lake, soft upholstery was most popular. Our wounds were soon healed, however, by the warm reception of King Massa- soit and the Faculty on the following evening at the formal initiation.

One day early in May, while at dinner, the cry of totem went up. After the mad exit by windows, for we found that the doors had been securely locked, we rushed to the banks of the lake and beheld a hgure struggling far out on the lake beside an overturned canoe. Two juniors were madly paddling toward the spot but we soon perceived that they were not intent on saving the Fgure in the water but the black object Hoating near by. Seeing their purpose from the shore, immediately everybody started up the lake either by the road or over the rail- road trestle. About four o'clock that afternoon the first of the stragglers started to come in telling of thrilling battles on land and lake, generally resulting in some being Z8
