28 THE HALCYON. SOPHOMORES. Class Colors: — Orange and Seal Broum. Motto : — Foriiier, fideliter, felieiter. Yell :— Yah ! yah ! yate ! S. C, ' SS, Hist, boom, ah ! ! The Soph ; a medley strange aud wild, The joirate of the college sea, Full of strange oaths and language free, With cheek of what ? and brain of child, — He plants a tree. IT has fallen to my lot to write a history of the greatest class that has ever entered Swarthmore College. I say this boldly, and I say it without asking anyone outside of the class to accept it. We are now Sophomores and look clown with supreme contempt upon those sjDecimens of con- densed milk, just from their parental moorings, known as Freshmen. We are a modest, retiring class, and seldom bring ourselves before the public, nor sound our own praises. Everything we do is done right. We never g t left. We. have great heads for figures. Who says half of us got left in analytical geometry ? Well, what if w e did ? There are other kinds of figures besides Conic Sections. Haverford beat us at foot-ball. It was a bad day for the game, and our men got tired. Lafayette, bah ! The referee gave the game away. He was bribed. We lost our foot-ball, did w e? That was ' 87 ' s sharp work. And our constitution? We were Freshmen then. Some of us didn ' t pass in Descrip- tive? It W ' asn ' t our fault; the Prof, watched so sharply that we couldn ' t work our ponies. We are the most con- genial class in the college. We all pull together. We have the most profound harmony in our class-meetings. We pulled up ' 87 ' s tree. ( After it was dead. ) We have many other virtues, but the limited space and my innate modesty not permit me to mention them. A full list will be furnished upon application to the secretary of the class.
